CD/DVD Releases: Final Conflict Release New Album, Announce Gig
Final Conflict wrote earlier this month: After many moons slaving in the semi-darkness of the studio, FC has finally emerged bleary-eyed and blinking into the daylight! The first thing they saw was a bright light shining through the mists of Newcastle-under-Lyme. Was it a sign? Yes it was! The Rigger, arguably the best live music venue in Stoke-on-Trent, had reopened. A Christmas gig was promptly secured.
We hope to see all our old friends for an excellent evening of prog-rock at the Rigger on Saturday 23rd December. Contact Dud at the Rigger on 01782 616602 or check out their website www.riggermusic.com for more information.
The new album Simple is off to press as we speak and we hope to get it back in the next weeks or two. Certainly in plenty of time for Christmas presents and Christmas gigs!
Finally, if you're on Madspace take a look at our new site: www.myspace.com/finalconflictmusic. We'd love to add you as a friend.
Seasons' greetings from all at FC

I heard about the Wonthaggi Street Art after stumbling upon their FB page a few weeks ago, so we made a beeline for the colourful laneways whilst visiting over the Christmas break.
Durham Lane is a sight to behold, smaller and less grungy than Hosier, more bright and cheery, like a sunny day on the Great Barrier Reef.
Though most of this lane is taken up with marine creatures in their blue, blue sea, other pieces appear nearby in Abrahams Lane.
I think these eyes were watching me walk along the laneway...
I really liked this piece depicting the nearby State Coal Mine, which we visited on a previous trip.
The street art project was put in place to curb local graffiti artists in a no-tag kind of plan. I'm sure it will also bring in tourists like myself, to Instagram it to bits and showcase its wonderful artists.
Where: Abraham's Lane
Why: street art
How Much: FREE

I’m a product of the South. I grew up a southern white boy in the 50’s. I went to all white schools and lived in all white neighborhoods. I had all white friends and dated all white girls. I read books about the civil war exploits of confederate soldiers. I watched movies dramatizing the antebellum south. I watched TV shows like “The Gray Ghost” glorifying the exploits of John Singleton Mosby (Mosby’s Raiders). I listened to my grandmother talking about her father, my great grandfather, who fought under Stonewall Jackson at Chancellorsville. Yes, I’m a true “son of the confederacy”. To me the Confederate flag was a sign of a proud heritage and second only to the American flag. The problem was I never thought about the other side of the meaning of that flag.
We in the south, and when I say that, I mean we white people in the south grew up glorifying the confederacy. We lived, we breathed it, it was just part of us. I never thought about the real meaning of the flag and the reasons for the Civil War. True, I studied it in school, but I studied it in a southern school with a southern curriculum. It was just as much "The War for States Rights" or more strikingly the "War for Southern Independence" as it was the Civil War. We studied more about Bull Run then The Battle of Appomattox and Sherman's March to the Sea was a horrendous uncalled for excessively brutal treatment of the South. I learned about slavery but what I learned about slavery was that most slave owners treated their property humanely and that most white families cherished the relations they had with their black families and there were only a few owners who treated them cruelly. I'm sorry this is what we were taught.
I am now an old man in the twilight of my years. I look back upon my childhood and see that I sure missed a lot in those days. There was a whole other world out there of people that were on the other side. Sons and daughters of sons and daughters of the slaves that were that property. What our white view was not what their black view was. Where I looked at that flag and saw pride, they grew up looking at that flag and saw fear. What I experienced growing up was institutionalized racism, what's being called today systemic racism, and I was ground into it. That's the problem today. So many of us grew up the way I have described and never even knew it.
There was a lot of things we didn't know. We didn't know how it felt to be relegated to the balcony of the Carolina Theatre and have to enter through the rear door. We didn't know how it felt to be sent to the back of the city bus or have to drink out of the colored only water fountain in the Kress store or not be served at the lunch counter or not be allowed to use the public toilet unless there was a "colored" one available. Yes, I lived those days but didn't experience them. Over the years I have often said that had I experienced them I probably wouldn't be here today. True, black men my age have had to endure a lot more than I have and are probably more scarce then my kind.
So I am not surprised at all about the feelings and emotion that erupting today in the Black community and the awareness that seems to be coming about in many of us in the white community. It is long overdue. We thought that when Obama was elected we had transgressed into a new era. Oh how wrong we were. His election did bring out a degree of pride and personal worth to the black community but it brought a lot of anger, animosity and fear in the white community, but suppressed until the advent of Trump.
The election of Donald Trump, with his say it like it is type of personality and his bully mentality allowed white people with racial tendencies to just let it rip. So it's no wonder that after nearly 4 years the country is like a powder keg. Lets hope there is enough young people with sense who haven't grown up like I did that can make this country whole again and fix a problem that has been festering for 150 years. | <urn:uuid:5f13fc6a-d466-4462-ae7c-e9eeb72e9502> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.riburton.com/2020/06/ | 2024-04-14T23:07:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.989886 | 887 |
Bazaine, Francois Achille, was born February 13, 1811, at Versailles. Entering the army in 1832, he won the cross of the Legion of Honour the following year for bravery displayed in Algeria. After fighting against the Carlists in 1837 and taking part in several African expeditions, he commanded a brigade in the Crimea in 1853. He saw further service in the Italian war of 1859, and for his services in Mexico he was made Marshal of France and Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. In the Franco-German war he commanded the Army of the Rhine, and after being shut up in Metz for three months surrendered to Prince Frederick Charles with a force of 173,000 men. For this he was tried by court-martial and sentenced to death, which was commuted to imprisonment for life. In 1874 he escaped from prison and spent the remainder of his life in Madrid, dying in 1888. In 1883 he published his justification in a book, the sale of which was prohibited in France. | <urn:uuid:70aa81d5-dd39-4460-8a36-793db28186bf> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.sacklunch.net/encyclopedia/B/Bazaine.html | 2024-04-14T22:37:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.987417 | 214 |
David II. (1324-1371), King of Scotland, son of Robert Bruce. He was born at Dunfermline, and married Joanna, daughter of Edward II. He succeeded to the crown in 1329. From 1334 to 1341 he was in France, owing to the predominance of Baliol and of Edward III. In 1346 he declared war upon England in accordance with a promise which he had made in France, and was taken prisoner in the battle of Neville's Cross, and remained a prisoner till 1357, when he was released upon promising to pay a ransom. Unable to pay this, he was for the rest of his life more or less bound to England, and is even said to have proposed a son of Edward III. as his successor, a measure which did not endear him to his subjects. | <urn:uuid:2d87ab07-c216-47e1-a2c0-e6ee7487dee3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.sacklunch.net/encyclopedia/D/DavidII.html | 2024-04-14T23:46:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.991565 | 171 |
Our waterproof bags are resealable, element-proof and feature a hermetic seal, meaning absolutely no water, air, dust or humidity permeates the closure. They are designed for a wide range of applications and environments. The transparent bags are flexible,puncture resistant and can be sealed again and again. The unique and patented materials, closure systems and manufacturing techniques used to fabricate the bags surpass even the most rigorous testing standards. These bags have been certified waterproof to 60 meters (up to 200 feet) underwater by Scuba Schools International, formerly NASDS.
Questions and Answers
SHOULD I TEST MY BAGS BEFORE TRUSTING THEM WITH MY VALUABLES?
Yes, but only because it is important that you know how to seal the bag properly before using them. It is suggested that you blow a small amount of air into the bag and then practice sealing them firmly, but gently. Start from one corner of the bag and make a smooth seal across the bag,making sure that the tracks line up. Repeat to make sure there are no kinks in the seal. Submerge the bag in water and push gently on the side of the bag. If a steady stream of air bubbles appears,the bag is defective and will be replaced. We stand by our bags, but we simply can’t ensure everyone will take the time to seal them properly or test them. This will be up to you.
DO YOU GUARANTEE THESE BAGS WILL PERFORM EXACTLY AS STATED?
Yes. When sealed properly the bags will perform exactly as described. Read through the Q& A section and make sure you replace the bag when it is well used, as described in number 4.
WILL I EVER NEED TO REPLACE THESE BAGS? IF SO, WHEN?
The bags themselves are extremely durable; however the closure and its tracks are highly sophisticated and made of a more pliable, softer film to ensure 100% contact of the tracks. The closures are then attached to the body of the durable bag film. The seals will become worn in far less time than the body of the bag. Either the tracks/zipper will detach from the closure, the translucent black closure will split, or the closure will detach from the body of the bag. That is to be expected.Therefore, it is highly recommended that you replace well used bags before the seal becomes defective while in use.
WHAT IS THE LIFE SPAN OF A BAG?
There is no way to determine how frequently any one individual will use each bag, nor how tough they may be with it. The better care you take of the bag, the longer it will last. The bags are disposable, and must be replaced after extended use. Our bags, like many other products, have a specific purpose and a life span within which they can fulfill this purpose. When the bag is becoming worn, it is time to get it replaced.
WHAT IF I TEST THE BAG AND FIND IT IS DEFECTIVE?
Please email us at email@example.com to obtain a Return Authorization(RA) number. Send the bag to Mirage Apparel LLC, PO BOX 426 Keswick, VA 22947.You must have an RA number to return any bag and you must return the defective bag in order to get a free replacement. We do not replace well used bags. A defective bag will be replaced if returned within 30 days of purchase. Date and proof of purchase via a paid invoice must be included with the defective product.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET REPLACEMENT BAGS IF NEED BE?
Once we receive your bag and find it to be defective, we will send you a new bag immediately.
CAN TOUCH SCREEN DEVICES BE OPERATED WHILE INSIDE THE BAG?
Yes. All applications work on touch screens while protected in our waterproof bags.
CAN I USE ELECTRONICS WHILE PROTECTED IN THE WATERPROOF BAG?
Most electronics can be used while protected in the bags. You can make and receive telephone calls and wireless signals will not be compromised.
ARE THE BAGS HEAT RESISTANT? ANY SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE ISSUES PERHAPS?
The waterproof bags are heat tolerant up to temperatures of 125 to 130 degrees. However, please do not expose them to the high temperatures that can build in cars with the windows closed, metal containers sitting in the hot sun, or any other place where heat will build with sun exposure.
IS THERE BPA OR USE OF OTHER HARSH CHEMICAL IN THE WATERPROOF BAGS?
No. Absolutely none. Our bags are FDA and NSF approved.
ARE THE WATERPROOF BAGS RECYCLABLE?
Yes, they are. | <urn:uuid:50dcdb98-b7ed-4472-a508-015d9755c373> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.secretpocketsswimwear.com/faq.html | 2024-04-14T23:01:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.92627 | 992 |
The moment individuals get started checking out your newly recognized web page design, views and judgments is going to be shaped regarding your manufacturer, although you may have place no believed to your brand personality through the growth procedure. It is recommended, as a result, that some hard work be produced to produce a successful brand name personality for the company which is typified by your web site design. An excellent brand identity, and by extension an excellent web design, is just one that sends crystal clear and brief communications to the picked viewers and customarily results in a feeling of desirability to the manufacturer. How can you approach making a website design and style with a special and productive company personal identity.
Building a exclusive and eye-catching company logo to your company is probably the most important step to making a exclusive personal identity that can resonate through your web page design and into standard use. Logos work as the most potent aesthetic element associated with a product, even on image saturated internet site models. Simply because logos will not be just decorative features but they are symbolic for the brand in the entirety. Because images use visible elements of design such as shade, shape, feel and typography, these are instrumental in subtly influencing the audience from the fort lauderdale web design emotionally although conveying information regarding the respectability, imagination or luxurious status of the company.
Producing a highly effective identity for the brand name through website design doesn’t stop at developing an attractive emblem. The truth is, it shouldn’t even start with the development of a company logo, but instead a sincere analysis of the company in their recent status. This point of brand name development should include discovering the marked viewers, investigating opponents and analyzing the historical past from the organization. Accumulating and analyzing this information is beneficial to developing a better webpage design: one who is attractive to the right individuals and helps prevent common layout to get a accurate representation of a organization.
A helpful process in enhancing the advertising of the web site design would be to study the way is generally perceived through your particular market. The reply your visitors provide you with must give you a clear indicator from the course you need to eat redeveloping your company identity. When your visitors say your marketing and branding is unexciting, out-of-date, unprofessional or unattractive, then you may need to fully rethink your website design. Comments on specific regions of your internet site layout can guideline how you need to optimize your branding to attract your target audience. | <urn:uuid:4abc5771-5b4e-4999-8dd7-dff57a6a1532> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.sensorizate.com/how-to-make-an-excellent-brand-personality-fort-lauderdale-web-design.htm | 2024-04-15T00:20:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.941467 | 501 |
Ok, I'm not big on fashion and I'll leave fashion reviews to the experts but when I find decent clothing for guys I'm going to just have to put a brief post about it here.
I had run across a shop a while back and purchased a couple of t-shirts that I liked, but hadn't visited the main store until just the other day. Now I wish I'd done so sooner.
The place is called Urban Underground and though I'm not really into the whole "style" as presented in the store (not even sure what the style is called), I do like the way the t-shirts look, especially with a nice pair of jeans (the jeans I like the most are ones I got from Dusty's Menswear on MIA Island)
Here's a quick snap of some of the shirts they've got here. In the lower right side of the picture is the gem of the shop, two packs of 5 plain t-shirts in assorted colors for 200L each. It was an easy decision for me to pop the 400L total for both packs. They are no-copy, no-mod, so you can't change or make copies of them but you can give them away if you happen to not like a particular color or want to give them to someone who needs a style makeover.
The shirts that have stuff on them are also nicely done and reasonably priced at 50L each, so take the time to check them out as well. Oddly enough, the ones with patterns are no-transfer so you can make copies and modify them, but not give them away. So gift givers, beware.
These are probably some of the best looking t-shirts I've seen on the grid so far.
The only thing I have against these shirts is that they are made on the jacket layer, meaning you can't wear anything over them, which is disappointing because they'd look good under some other things I have. Oh, I understand they had to be made on the jacket layer to get the pull over look, but it'd be really cool if I could get a version of these on the undershirt and shirt layer so I could wear them under a couple jackets I have.
Here's what they look like on me.......
It's also kind of a cool place, visually, as well.......
Here I am in the entrance of the place, not sure if the big guy to the left is a salesperson or not.......
For those that are interested in that sort of thing, yes, the monsters are for sale, the one outside for 350L and the ones inside for 340L. You have to find the right spot (the claws) to click on them before the Buy option comes up, but they can be purchased.
If anyone is interested in a few more pictures of me and the monsters, there are a couple up on my SLBuzz account, for some reason they didn't crosspost to Fickr like they are set up to do.
And here is the SLURL for the place.......
So, if you're a guy looking for something good looking to wear, check this place out. The prices are reasonable and the shirts look good. | <urn:uuid:2b54496a-beda-4405-92ce-d9ffafd5d15b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.sougent.com/2007/12/good-shirts.html | 2024-04-14T22:34:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.975334 | 654 |

An Angry Specter
Shortly after being reelected in 2004, Arlen Specter earned the wrath of conservative extremists by suggesting that anti-abortion judges would have difficulty winning Senate confirmation. Specter learned the power of conservative outrage when his chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary Committee was threatened. Specter executed a quick flip-flop by assuring extremists that he "would never apply any litmus test on the abortion issue."
A year-and-a-half later, the inability of conservative extremists to govern has been exposed, and their death grip on Specter has weakened. While Specter has shown little inclination to oppose any of the president's judicial nominees, he's recently been slapping the Bush administration, apparently content in the knowledge that the president and his supporters are too weak to hit back with any force.
Yesterday, the Justice Department sent Matthew Friedrich to stonewall the Judiciary Committee's interest in Alberto Gonzales' assertion that journalists can be prosecuted for divulging classified information. Specter put up a fuss when Friedrich dodged his questions.

War on e-cigarettes: Hong Kong intends to jail vaping offenders. But will it make people quit?
By Jenni Marsh, CNN
Updated 0131 GMT (0931 HKT) February 20, 2019
(CNN) – Robert Chan lit his first cigarette aged 18. He quickly became hooked, smoking 15 a day for more than a decade.
Like so many other smokers, Hong Kong-based Chan didn’t savor his addiction. He wanted to quit smoking cigarettes, but struggled to end his nicotine habit.
Two years ago, on his 30th birthday, Chan started using a device that heats tobacco — instead of burning it — to release a nicotine-laced vapor.
Chan is one of the 35 million people around the world believed to be using e-cigarettes or heat-not-burn products, according to Euromonitor.
“I wanted to stop smoking but I wasn’t quite ready to quit nicotine yet,” he says. “I saw this as a bridging device to do something less harmful than cigarettes … There’s no ash, no smell and my lungs and breathing feel better when I use it.”
E-cigarettes at a shopping mall in Mong Kok, Hong Kong.
But today that industry is facing a battle. While many smokers are embracing alternative devices in an attempt to quit cigarettes, governments around the world are divided.
This month, the Hong Kong government announced plans to push ahead with a controversial blanket ban on all e-cigarettes and heat-not-burn products.
Under the sweeping draft law, which begins its path through the legislature on February 20, anyone who imports, makes, sells or promotes new smoking products could face six months in jail or a HK$50,000 ($6,370) fine.
Chan says that legislation will make him choose between between becoming a criminal or doing something that’s worse for his health.
“This is either going to send people back to smoking real cigarettes or drive the whole industry underground to a black market,” he says.
The first e-puff
In 2003, Chinese pharmacist Han Li filed a patent for “a flameless electronic atomizing cigarette,” in the manufacturing heartland of Shenzhen, just across the border from Hong Kong.
A year later the world’s first e-cigarettes hit the market in China, and within 12 months they were being shipped around the world. E-cigarettes were seen as an enjoyable and safer smoking alternative — an important product in a country like China where more than 50% of adult males still smoke and lung cancer is the leading cause of death.
The technology works like this: a small lithium battery atomizes a liquid solution of nicotine to produce a fog which looks like cigarette smoke. When smokers inhale they get a similar sensation to puffing on a cigarette, but industry players claim the products can be 95% safer than burning tobacco.
The World Health Organization has cautioned that the long-term effects of vaping are unknown, and the nicotine they contain is addictive.
Today the United States is the world’s biggest e-cigarette and heat-not-burn market, worth $5.1 billion last year, followed by Japan and the United Kingdom, according to Euromonitor.
The products have widely been lauded as a way to wean people off traditional smoking. A study published earlier this month by the New England Journal of Medicine showed that e-cigarettes helped people quit smoking at double the rate of those using nicotine replacement therapy.
But consider this: of the 3 million people using the devices in the UK, only half are ex-cigarette smokers. And in the US, popular e-cigarette brand JUUL — which has 75% of the market — has come under fire for adding sweet flavors to its “e-liquids” that supposedly appeal to young people. Vaping has become so ubiquitous in many American high schools that the US Food and Drug Administration has called it an “epidemic.”
So are the products a pathway to giving up smoking, or merely an alternative gateway to nicotine?
“These products are being marketed as trendy products to attract youngsters who don’t already smoke,” said Antonio Cho-shing Kwong, chairman of the Hong Kong Council on Smoking and Health, which lobbied the government for the proposed ban.
“The smoking prevalence for secondary school children in Hong Kong is 2.5%. With a rate that low, anything that would attract youngsters is dangerous.”
A spokesperson for the Hong Kong Food and Health Bureau said it considered all alternative smoking products “a gateway to the eventual consumption of conventional cigarettes,” and noted that “all these new smoking products are harmful to health and produce second-hand smoke.”
Under the ban, citizens can smoke their current supplies at home. But once those run out, buying alternative smoking products will pose a legal challenge.
The great vape debate
The world is divided over e-cigarettes.
Currently, 39 jurisdictions have outlawed alternative smoking products outright, including Brazil, the United Arab Emirates and Thailand. In Australia, e-cigarettes not containing nicotine are legal to buy — although such products are rare. The UK and US have ruled sale of e-cigarettes to adults is legal. The debate over whether or not to ban e-cigarettes is still rumbling in the Philippines.
Legislation and regulation has been slow to catch up with the industry as new products such as heat-not-burn devices, including the Iqos produced by tobacco giant Philip Morris, have entered the market.
Iqos technology is different from the e-cigarettes conceived in Shenzhen. The device heats rather than burns a stick of tobacco, which the company claims is 90% less harmful as it produces far fewer carcinogens.
“The Hong Kong legislation has wrapped everything into one: e-cigarettes and heat-not-burn, but the government has to understand the difference between what the two are and how they could regulate them,” says Brett Cooper, general manager of Hong Kong and Macau for Philip Morris.
In Japan, where 34% of people still smoke, nicotine e-cigarettes have been banned — but the Iqos is legal, and a runaway success.
“One in five people have switched from cigarettes to these alternative products in Japan,” says Cooper, noting that Iqos accounts for 15% of the tobacco market in Japan, where 3 million people use the device.
Nav Lalji has a difficult job. He is chairman of the Asian Vape Association, a group formed in 2015 to unite vapers in the region. However, it has since become a defensive body, as Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Japan have all outlawed e-cigarettes.
A former smoker who quit cigarettes for vaping, Lalji says he is “devastated” by the Hong Kong government’s decision — especially when other tobacco products, which kill more than 7 million people a year globally, will be left on shelves.
Lalji believes the ban in Hong Kong is simply going to turn smokers of e-cigarettes and heat-not-burn products into criminals.
“The thing is we’re located in Hong Kong which right next to Shenzhen, the hub and heartland of manufacturing e-cigarettes,” says Lalji, adding that the Chinese mega-city makes 95% of the world’s e-cigarette supply.
“So if anybody in Hong Kong can’t procure them legally, they could simply go across the border to China to pick them up, or order online.”
For others, the proposed law threatens to move Hong Kong into nanny state territory.
“The ban goes against a few values that I hold dear: freedom of choice as a consumer and freedom to get access to less harmful products,” says Brice L, a French expat living in Hong Kong who asked that CNN did not use his last name due to the legal sensitivities surrounding e-cigarettes.
?”Overall, it feels like the Hong Kong government is going backwards — and I don’t understand the reasoning behind it.” | <urn:uuid:4b9f5705-1429-40eb-a486-50b0393d517f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.tcsc-indonesia.org/war-on-e-cigarettes-hong-kong-intends-to-jail-vaping-offenders-but-will-it-make-people-quit/ | 2024-04-14T23:16:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.95984 | 1,699 |
GLB Brewpub recently opened on Lower Jarvis Street and we wanted to check it out ... so we headed there for supper after our cruise on the Kajama.
We sat inside where it was cooler.
They brew beer there and you can buy some to take home
Gord ordered Bitterballen (ground pork roux meatballs, breaded and fried, served with beer mustard) … he liked them and would get them again.
I ordered a Detroit-style Classic Pepperoni pizza (vine ripened organic tomato sauce, mozzarella and classic Italian Ezzo cup and char pepperoni) … I liked it and took home leftovers. It was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. | <urn:uuid:12b1e8c3-b5fa-48d9-97e2-810e45c1ba6f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.teenaintoronto.com/2022/08/glb-brewpub-toronto-on.html | 2024-04-15T00:00:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.965507 | 147 |
The plot of Pippin is surprisingly fitting for lockdown life in 2020. As we sit indoors watching the world implode, it's easy to empathise with the son of Charlamagne. Pippin is seeking enlightenment (a lofty aspiration): a purpose, a fulfilling life. The lesson learned is to live in the moment and appreciate the ordinary, something we're all forced to do right now.
Originating on Broadway in 1972 - with music from Stephen Schwartz, book by Roger O. Hirson, and direction from Bob Fosse - the musical is presented as short fragments of revue that give snippets of an overarching narrative. It's an absurd coming of age story, framed by a fourth wall breaking narrator (Tsemaye Bob-Egbe), with Pippin developing from naivety to spoilt brat and finally enlightenment, rebelling against the script (fate? religion?) in the process.
Despite its themes of war, despair, patricide and a climax that glorifies suicide, Pippin is a surprisingly joyous and uplifting watch. The ensemble sing of magic and urge Pippin to revel in simple pleasures (mainly sexual); there are amusing scenes with Pippin's family and a tragi-comic moment with a duck; a heartwarming love story rounds it out. Part Candide and part Hair, this production led by director Steven Dexter revels in its 70s heritage, with vibrant tye-died costumes and choreography from Nick Winston that turns war into a sensual dance by way of Fosse.
Schwartz's psychedlic score is full of glorious harmonies and demanding solos, but the cast of West End performers rise to the challenge. As Pippin, Ryan Anderson is a dynamic performer with a high tenor; Joanne Clifton amuses as Pippin's grandma; and Bob-Egbe leads the ensemble with some impressive vocal runs. And even with minimal instrumentation, the score is full of colour.
It is a production worthy of a larger venue, the outdoor Garden Theatre bringing obvious challenges like sound levels and road noise. Yet the cast cope well with projection, directing their lines to both sides of the audience around the traverse stage so nothing is missed. What's more, they're undeterred by us masked audience members facelessly reacting.
In another time, this production would be performed with a larger cast, full orchestration and an extravagant set design. But even without these trappings, the core of the show is fantastically enjoyable. It feels good to be back in a theatre.
Watch: Pippin runs at the Garden Theatre until 11th October. | <urn:uuid:a3e2bd8e-772e-49d7-8576-1b14042d9ae1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.thegizzlereview.com/2020/ | 2024-04-14T22:47:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.941423 | 552 |
There is a growing frustration in the world about the US domination of the global politics and economy. These last weeks we saw the widespread ripple effect of what originally was a US domestic issue: the bankrupcy of a financial institution due to lack of proper oversight, as just one example
It made me think: with that level of influence on the world, what insight do US government leaders have on other countries, on cultures. A question easily translated into the question: "How well are they travelled?".
Some research on the Internet did not give me much confidence in US politics. Some examples:
The former House majority leader Richard K. Armey (R-Tex.), said in July 1998 that he wasn't much interested in foreign travel. "I've been to Europe once, and I don't need to go again." (Full)
Before taking up his presidency in 2001, George W. Bush visited 10 countries: China, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Britain, Ireland, Egypt, Israel, Italy and Gambia. (Full)
What really beats me is that Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin got her first passport in 2006. Up to now she has visited just four countries: Canada, German, and a visit to the Alaskan National Guard troops in Iraq and Kuwait. Oh, and she did a refueling stop-over in Ireland too. (Full)

Already you can observe prototypes but because the gospel isn't actually accurate enough, the early add-ons are like shanty town add ons to existing buildings......hammered on bits of tin as opposed to intrinsic to the Message they are preaching.
YWAM schools of Discipleship
The Bible Houses I was in connected to Ed Miller and Jorge Pradas of Argentina
The 12 step Programmes of America and now Salt and Light Network in Europe.
(bear in mind these last have come full circle, because Frank Buchman nicked the whole procedure of Keswick Movement and Jessie Penn Lewis in the first place, and she was one of the 20 th Century's first Thirdlevellers)
Selwyn Hughes and the Sanfords and both doing different versions of inner healing
Anybody looking at the great Car crash that is the church, be it
or now charismatic and apostolic networks
NEEDS to get hold of the complete gospel St Paul is preaching, now articulated really clearly by Norman P Grubb in his final great book YES I AM. 1985.

Up or down? How will the fair industry develop in the first half of 2017? What measures will be taken against the threat of terrorism? The UFI Global Barometer provides answers.
The flagship industry survey of the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI) was conducted in June and published in July: the UFI Global Exhibition Barometer. Its 17th edition includes data from 262 exhibition companies in 56 countries. Based on this data, the study revealed a number of key regional trends. The most important concerns are global economic development, the situation in the companies’ home markets, competition from within the industry and internal challenges. The analysis of global regions produced a very positive outlook for North America. More than eighty per cent of all companies expect an increase in turnover for 2016 and in the first half of 2017. And more than 50 per cent of US exhibition companies expect an increase in annual profits of at least ten per cent for 2016. The outlook for the UK was similar. However, the survey was performed in Britain before the referendum on EU membership. Good prospects also appeared in several other European markets. In Turkey expectations were low. Unlike in previous years, significantly fewer exhibition companies expect growing profits there. The situation in Russia remains unchanged.
In Central and South America a majority of companies anticipate turnover decreases this year. However, they are more confident for the period from January to June 2017. Profits there are also expected to rise – with the notable exception of Brazil, which deviates from the trend. In Asia as well as the Middle East and Africa profits are looking almost just as good as in the USA. 30 to 50 per cent of survey participants expect double-digit profits for 2016. The level is a bit lower in China, where up to 30 per cent report such profits. Around a quarter of those polled in Asia/Pacific, Africa and the Middle East report uncertainty regarding their turnover for the first half of 2017. Globally speaking, the outlook appears to be, on balance, positive: The exhibition industry will post growth over the next few months, albeit with regional or national differences and challenges. In addition, cyclical factors also play a role, for which reason 2016 is a strong year in Germany, for example. This makes it rather difficult to compare the first half of 2016 with the same period in 2017.
The majority of polled exhibition companies have introduced additional security measures. This is due to the growing risks caused by the surge of terrorist activities around the world. Security measures vary from additional screenings of visitors and exhibitors to controls onsite during events as well as additional information for attendees. Some companies also mentioned the occasional checking of lists of pre-registered participants. This is logically done in liaison with government institutions. The complete results of the 17th UFI Global Exhibition Barometer can be downloaded at www.ufi.org/research. The next survey will be performed in December 2016 and published next January. Then we will know what impacts major events such as the announced Brexit will have on future trade fair prospects.

Networking typically happens at real, in-person events. But it’s also possible to do it online; it just works a little differently. There are various options available to organisers.
New products and a well-conceived stand design are not the only drivers for a successful presence. Many other factors are also important, but trade fair planners often lose sight of them.
Trade fairs and trade fair companies need to constantly further develop, become more agile and flexible and offer services all year round. New, digital offerings are very important here.

September 12, 2012 – newsday.co.tt
THE PARLIAMENT sits today to urgently pass legislation to repeal a section of a new law, after the Government’s decision to proclaim the law opened the door to a wave of applications to the Supreme Court which could see businessmen Ishwar Galbaransingh and Steve Ferguson, as well as several others accused in the Piarco corruption inquiries, walk free without trial.
The Ministry of Communications yesterday morning hastily issued a one-line press release to announce that it will convene the House of Representatives at 1.30 pm for the purpose of repealing Section 34 of the Administration of Justice (Indictable Proceedings Act) 2011, which was proclaimed by President George Maxwell Richards on August 28, mere days ahead of the State’s celebration of the 50th anniversary of Independence. Newsday also understands that a sitting of the Senate has also been called for tomorrow.
The Act was passed to abolish preliminary inquiries and replace it with a paper review by a Master of the High Court who would determine if a matter goes to trial. Section 34 of the Act, which was passed last November, allows accused persons to apply to a judge to have cases discharged where the offences involved are alleged to have taken place more than ten years ago. The section was one of six sections of the legislation which came into effect on August 31, under the terms of the President’s proclamation.
Newsday yesterday exclusively reported that on Monday lawyers for Galbaransingh and Ferguson lodged an application under the controversial new section at the High Court seeking a declaration of a not guilty verdict. However, the High Court – which is on vacation and which has not yet had time to put rules in place to handle the new procedure – was yesterday besieged by a wave of similar applications from other persons charged in relation to the Piarco International Airport project.
The question of whether the provision would block any proceedings in the Clico and Udecott cases also arose after lawyers noted the time limit starts from the date of the alleged offence. Both companies – which are subject to ongoing police investigations – have controversial histories going back more than ten years.
Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley yesterday noted the Government had given assurances in Parliament last year that it would not proclaim the legislation before new rules meant to govern the legislation are tabled in Parliament. He described the early proclamation of the new law as “scandalous” and “a betrayal” and called for the immediate resignation of Attorney General Anand Ramlogan and Minister of Justice Herbert Volney, who had promised the law would not be proclaimed before the new rules.
“Now that these developments have played themselves out in such a disgraceful manner, the PNM calls for the immediate resignation of the Attorney General Anand Ramlogan and the Minister of Justice Herbert Volney,” Rowley said at a press conference at the Opposition offices on Charles Street, Port-of-Spain.
He called for action, “Given the scandalous, and I daresay, even criminal conduct of the Government of Trinidad and Tobago in using the Cabinet and the Parliament to facilitate the escape of alleged criminal wrongdoing on the part of favoured citizens.”
“The burning question to be answered is why the surreptitious undue haste to proclaim this legislation? The answer, we fear, is consistent with the perception that the Government is a government for its people and not the people.”
Rowley noted that in Parliament on November 18, Volney, who piloted an amendment to the original bill which made the date of limitation run from the date of the alleged offence, had promised that the law would not be proclaimed until after new criminal rules are drafted and presented in Parliament, possibly in a second bill. According to the unrevised Hansard for that debate, Volney said, “While this measure can work without rules because it establishes a framework, I can assure members opposite that nothing is going to be proclaimed before all the necessary measures required to make it succeed happens.”
“It was with some degree of shock, consternation and betrayal that the Opposition has learnt that sections of the Act have been proclaimed,” Rowley said.
The United States government also placed pressure on the Government to act, issuing a press release expressing concern and saying it would be “highly disappointing if, after years of investigation, the case was not brought to trial.” Galbaransingh and Ferguson were in 2005 indicted in a Miami Federal Court, on numerous fraud and money laundering charges stemming from alleged bid rigging between 1996 and 2005 on contracts for the Piarco International Airport.
Though Chief Justice Ivor Archie refused to be drawn into the matter yesterday, Newsday understands the Judiciary was caught unprepared for the proclamation.
The body designated to draft new rules to regulate the implementation of the new legislation, the Rules Committee, is yet to implement new rules to handle criminal cases under the legislation. Further, additional Masters have not yet been appointed to handle the envisioned workload created by the new law.
“Despite the absence of the promised infrastructure, the government has proceeded to make the Act law so that person may now claim the benefit of the Act,” Rowley said. “Without the proclamation, the accused in the Piarco matters would have to submit to a preliminary inquiry which could result in their trial before judge and jury.”
Rowley continued, “It is a cause for alarm to learn that the legislation was proclaimed and put into force, during the 50 th anniversary Independence celebrations, without prior warning, in the circumstance where the preliminary inquiry into the airport charges is about to resume, thereby appearing to facilitate the making of an application to a judge by accused in the Piarco Airport scandal for an order to declare themselves not guilty.”
“The act of proclaiming this legislation, at this time, in breach of the Government assurances to the Parliament, will be perceived as evidence of the power and influence of corrupt individuals over this Government and further undermine respect for rule of law.
Ramlogan, in turn, yesterday pointed out that the legislation had been passed with Opposition support. Rowley said the Opposition only supported the bill last year because of a pledge made by Volney in Parliament that the bill would not be proclaimed before new rules were presented in Parliament. Volney yesterday declined to respond to queries from Newsday, saying, simply “Ask the AG.”
Ahead of tomorrow’s sitting of the Senate, Newsday understands that Independent Senators – who also supported the law under the premise that it would not be proclaimed under a second act – are poised to make demands for the legislation to be retroactive. Independent Senators reported feeling misled by Volney’s assurance that the Act would not be proclaimed until new rules were tabled in Parliament.
Legal sources questioned whether the persons who filed applications on Monday would still have grounds for constitutional relief, even if the section is repealed. They argue the legislation would have to have retroactive effect to be effective.
Amid the mounting pressure, the Office of the Prime Minister issued a press release at 5.48 pm, stating that a statement would be made at the Diplomatic Centre at 7 pm after a “special” meeting of Cabinet and inviting media houses to the Diplomatic Centre for “full coverage”, raising expectation that the Prime Minister would address the situation.
However, the Prime Minister did not attend the briefing, instead sending out Ramlogan to deliver a statement, which he did on his own in the absence of any Cabinet colleagues at the head-table. Volney was not present.
Ramlogan said the Prime Minister had, at 7 am, decided to have Section 34 repealed. It was unclear what the purpose of the “special” Cabinet meeting was, but Ramlogan said the meeting was called to “ratify” the Prime Minister’s decision. The Attorney General took no questions. | <urn:uuid:a464d680-90db-4f68-a94e-5cf9ef3abd62> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.trinidadandtobagonews.com/blog/?p=6694 | 2024-04-14T22:51:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.970959 | 1,646 |

Preventing Repeat Form Submission Using PHP Sessions
We've all seen those messages on some websites warning not to click a button more than once or negative consequences, like paying a bill twice, may result. Sometimes we can cause these problems by hitting the back or refresh buttons. In this article I will explain a methodology whereby a site can ensure each form is submitted only once, thereby demonstrating that such warnings are unnecessary and, depending on the nature of the problems caused, worth repairing immediately.
Let's begin by taking a look at the process we are studying: Form Submission. As pedantic as it may seem, it will be worthwhile to detail each of the steps in this process:
Visitor requests a page from the server which has a form on it.Server retrieves form and sends to user.User enters data on form and submits to server.Server processes form data and returns resultant page.
The scenario we now need to analyze is when the user re-triggers a previous form submission process. What we need to find or create is something which changes during the form submission process which does not depend on the specific form being submitted and which we can tell changed. That was a loaded sentence which fully details our solution, so let's break it down. Find or create something which
changes during the form submission process,does not depend on the specific form being submitted, andwe can tell changed.

Website Conversion Rate: More Keywords Equals More Sales
Your website conversion rate should concern you. This simply refers to how many visitors to your website it takes before you make a sale. It is called conversion because you are 'converting' a casual visitor into a buyer. Website conversion should concern you because when you can increase the rate at which your website visitors convert into buyers, you make more money without increase your costs. Let me explain.

Improve Web Sales Figures Forever And Ever Amen!
"How do I improve web site sales figures?" The CEO roared at the web developer. The web developer looked at his boss a little confused and mumbled something about it not being his core competence with him being a programmer and all. So next the CEO went to his marketing department and bellowed "How do I improve our web site sales conversion rates?" A few mouths opened as if to speak but nothing came out until finally exasperated the CEO tearing at his hair in frustration turned to a guy painting the wall and said, "Can you answer this question? How do I increase my web site sales figures?"

2 Golden Rules for an Engaging Website
Learn to Build a Better Online Business Website Using Keywords and Content
Are you aware that 90% of the websites on the Internet today are a waste of time and space. You have probably been on some of the sites I am referring to. You know the ones that when you arrive it really has nothing to do with your search criteria.
Creating Dynamic Website Content with PHP - MySQL
Fresh website content for your visitors can be of real benefit when attempting to generate repeat traffic. Most webmasters, however, just don't have enough spare time to frequently update or rebuild their pages manually. If your web site hosting company provides free access to PHP and MySQL, this article will show you how to combine those two open source tools and replace a portion of your websites' static content with frequently changing dynamic content.
What and How to choose the Right Keywords for Mega Traffic
Keywords in Search Engine Optimizing and Search Engine Marketing are the building blocks and foundation of your website on the search engines. If your foundation is weak or poorly put together your webpages won't have much to be based upon for the engines to rank with.
Three Things Every Website Should Do
When I started my company in 2002, I knew I needed to have a website. Why? To provide credibility! How can a company be "real" in this day and age if it doesn't have a website? So, like many companies, I published an informational website that explained "here's who we are, and here's what we do".
Your Website Reflects Your Business
Some left shoes are in isle 5, while the right shoes are in isle 3. Shoe hills are in random places. You can barely walk through the store without stumbling over a shoe.
Improve Conversion Rates ? Load Times
Your site is getting traffic, but conversion rates are horrible. Everything seems to be working, so what's wrong? Your site may simply be to slow.
Search Engines and Customers Want Focused Web Site Content
How do you decide on the content, products and or services you will promote on your Web site.

You run a website, well positioned on Google Search for many keywords, still the conversions do not come ... what else can you do ?
Often the search positioning itself is not enough. Probably the keywords on which you have placed the search queries represent a niche that can hardly bring a large number of visitors.
A smart idea to increase the number of visits is to diversify the reasons that attract visitors to enter your site.
Search queries of Web users are often related to geolocation. This relates the search keywords to the information spread on your region, often overlooked but rich in inexhaustible information from every day life. | <urn:uuid:fb9d7c89-6e69-4f5e-8c4f-19ef2763f21f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.webris.pro/index.php/FAQs/ | 2024-04-15T00:47:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.927615 | 126 |
Five Common Mortgage Myths
Sunday, September 10, 2023
Myth 1: Lowest interest rate loans are bestUnfortunately many borrowers will judge one home loan against another simply on the interest rate, which can be a big mistake.If they make their decision on this "headline" rate, it could cost them tens of thousands of dollars extra, Resi Mortgage chief executive Lisa Montgomery says."Most borrowers don't look at the comparison rate but they must," Montgomery says."Check the comparison rate. It's a great rule of thumb that helps you understand at a glance the true cost of a loan."It includes all the upfront and ongoing fees that need to be paid during the course of the loan."Fees and charges can add several basis points to the cost of the loan. Read the mortgage contract for all the details.
Myth 2: Bad credit ratings prevent borrowingYour credit rating can both help or hinder the type of mortgage you are offered. If you have a poor record, it does not automatically mean you won't get a loan.But it can mean a lender will consider you a greater risk and want to charge a higher interest rate.Not all unpaid bills and default histories will stop you getting the best deal.Mortgage broker 1300HomeLoan managing director John Kolenda says defaults on utility bills or phone bills can be explained and overlooked."But it is very important to make sure you tell your lender about your history," Kolenda says."Don't let them find out when they do your credit worthiness search."
Myth 3: Offset accounts are the best way to cut your interestFinancial research company Canstar analyst Mitchell Watson says there are much better ways to cut your interest costs than using an offset account."A lot of people will have their wages or salary paid into a mortgage offset account each month but for the average wage earner this isn't going to be worth much at all," he says."An offset account for someone on about $65,000 is only going to save about $20 a month interest. Over the life of the loan, however, it does add up to about $14,000."However, if you make fortnightly payments instead, so you divided the monthly amount by two and pay it every fortnight, you will save about $55,000 over the life of the loan and cut your loan term by four years."Better still, do both - use an offset (account) and fortnightly payments."
Myth 4: If you pay off your credit card, you'll be able to borrow moreWrong. Even if you owe nothing on your credit card, the limit will still be counted towards your total potential outstanding debt, according to 1300HomeLoan."Your credit card limit affects your maximum borrowing capacity with some lenders. For that reason, you should reduce your limit or cancel the cards you are not using before applying for a home loan," Kolenda says.
Myth 5: Pre-approved loans are pretty much guaranteed moneyThis is not true, the experts say.Pre-approval is an offer to lend money based on a percentage of the property's value.The price you pay is not necessarily its value, Montgomery says."Always sign a contract of sale 'subject to finance' even if you have a pre-approval," Kolenda adds."Your valuation needs to stack up and you will still need final approval." | <urn:uuid:39608c1d-d183-4c27-a532-ab5f01331017> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | http://www.whiteandweeks.com/blog/post/000000107 | 2024-04-14T23:28:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.954422 | 682 |

Blazers take PG Scoot Henderson with the No. 3 Pick in the NBA Draft
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Portland Trail Blazers selected point guard Scoot Henderson of the NBA G League with the third overall pick in the NBA draft on Thursday night.
The pick touched off speculation that Henderson could be packaged in a trade if Portland pursues a high-profile veteran to join All-Star guard Damian Lillard.
Or, should Lillard ask for a trade, Henderson could be part of a rebuild. Or the Blazers could play them both.
Blazers general manager Joe Cronin was clear: The Trail Blazers want Lillard to stay in Portland, and they want to build a winning team around him.
“I would say that my goal is to keep both of them,” Cronin said. “I would love to see Dame retire a Trail Blazer. I have zero desire to trade him. I really hopes this works out here. And I think you can tell how excited I am about Scoot Henderson. He has a chance to be a special player in this league.”
Henderson scouted himself as "somebody that's going to come in and attack the basket every single time, put pressure on the defense and play both sides of the floor. And a winner.”
Henderson, a 6-foot-2 teenager from Georgia who has been compared to Russell Westbrook, spent two years with the G League Ignite. He has also connected with Golden State guard Stephen Curry, who offered Henderson support and resources.
Last season with Ignite, Henderson averaged 17.6 points and a team-high 6.5 assists. He also brings defense — something the Blazers have sorely needed. He graduated from high school in Marietta, Georgia, early to become the youngest player ever in the G League.
Henderson, 19, wore a black suit coat bedazzled with rhinestones for the draft.
“I'm young but I've got a mature mindset, and that's to come in and work and make a real impact, not just on the basketball side but in the community,” he said.
Henderson's full name is Sterling Jewell Henderson. He earned the nickname Scoot when he was a toddler and used to scoot around on the floor. He's from a basketball family, too. Younger sister Crystal “Moochie” Henderson is headed to Georgia State.
With the 23rd pick Thursday night, the Blazers selected forward Kris Murray, twin brother of Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray. Kris Murray averaged 20.2 points last season as a junior at Iowa.
Portland also added French guard Rayan Rupert with the 43rd selection.
The Blazers missed the playoffs this season for the second straight year, finishing 33-49 and in 13th in the Western Conference. That was despite the best efforts of Lillard, who averaged a career-high 32.2 points a game, third-best in the league. But in the end, Portland was plagued by inopportune injuries and inconsistent play.
The season wasn’t without some high points — namely Lillard’s 71-point game. He set the franchise and career record in a late February game against the Houston Rockets. He also finished the game with 13 3-pointers.
Should Portland decide to play Henderson with Lillard, Anfernee Simons' role in the backcourt could be uncertain. Simons started 62 games last season, averaging 21.1 points and 4.1 assists.
The team also has rookie Shaedon Sharpe, the seventh overall pick in the 2022 draft. He averaged 9.8 points but wowed fans with highlight-reel dunks, showing his potential at the end of the season when many of the starters were shut down.
Cronin suggested the team isn't done.
“There's other stuff to do here. I feel like we've done a good job of putting ourselves in a good position to make these moves and start to get aggressive and push our chips in,” he said. "We've got good picks, we've got good players, we've got a lot of talent in this building. And we've just got to fine tune it and get it balanced and ready to go." | <urn:uuid:b5b6aca1-8883-480c-b701-6a4fa4874230> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://1340thehawk.com/blazers-take-pg-scoot-henderson-with-the-no-3-pick-in-the-nba-draft/ | 2024-04-15T00:31:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.973464 | 896 |
We present the design values and design principles of the Flix programming language, a functional-first, imperative, and logic programming language. We explain how these values and principles came into being and how they have influenced the design of Flix over the last several years.
The principles cover most facets of the Flix language and its ecosystem, including its syntax, semantics, static type and effect system, and standard library. We present each principle in detail, including its origin, rationale, and how it has shaped Flix.
We believe that codifying a language's design values and principles can serve as a powerful medium for discussing and comparing programming language designs and we hope our presentation will inspire future language designers to document their languages' design values and principles.

Central banks release more funds
The extra funds are aimed at easing banking sector woes
Global central banks are pumping $180bn (£99bn) of extra funds into money markets in a co-ordinated move to lift the amount of credit available.
The $180bn has been released by the US Federal Reserve to five other main central banks, who in turn are issuing the funds in their own countries.
The Bank of England is making $40bn available, while the European Central Bank is to provide $55bn.
Central banks in Switzerland, Canada and Japan are also taking part.
The Swiss National Bank is releasing up to $15bn extra, while the Bank of Japan is offering $60bn, and the Bank of Canada $10bn.
"These measures, together with other actions taken in the last few days by individual central banks, are designed to improve the liquidity conditions in global financial markets," said the Bank of England.
"The central banks continue to work together closely and will take appropriate steps to address the ongoing pressures."
"It does help to release some of those immediate tensions that have been building up in the money market"
Ian Stannard, currency strategist, BNP Paribas
The co-ordinated move comes after four days of almost unprecedented turmoil in the global financial industry.
Firstly, US giant Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy protection, while compatriot Merrill Lynch lost its independence in a rescue takeover by Bank of America.
The US government has also had to bail-out insurance giant AIG, while in the UK, thousands of jobs are predicted to go at banking group HBOS following its sale to rival Lloyds TSB.
Analysts said the latest move by the central banks should help to ease immediate fears.
"Obviously it does not tackle the underlying root causes of the problem, but it does help to release some of those immediate tensions that have been building up in the money market," said Ian Stannard, senior currency strategist at BNP Paribas.
Koichi Haji, chief economist at NLI Research in Tokyo, said the co-ordinated move "shows how serious the problem has become".
"I think the root cause was letting Lehman fail," he said.
"That made investors reluctant to supply funds to their counterparts, particularly to the smaller banks."
The central banks of South Korea, India, and Australia have also released extra funds independently on Thursday. | <urn:uuid:344bbf34-2559-4601-bfad-e40cfa984e06> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://2164th.blogspot.com/2008/09/perhaps-letting-lehman-fail-was-not.html | 2024-04-15T00:42:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.963686 | 544 |

The elected president of Colombia, Gustavo Petroaffirmed this Tuesday that it does not seem prudent that the Venezuelan president, Nicholas Maduroattend his investiture, which will take place on August 7 in Bogotá.
Petro referred to this matter in an interview with W Radio, in which he also commented on the possibility of resuming diplomatic relations with Venezuelabroken from February 23, 2019 by order of Ripe amid an escalation of tensions due to the recognition of his Colombian counterpart, Iván Duque, to the Venezuelan opposition leader, Juan Guaidó, as interim president.

In this sense, he reaffirmed that the current government is in charge of the investiture acts, but that he “It seems prudent” for Maduro not to attend because the resumption of relations is “a process of rebuilding many things,” that “it does not demand speed or symbolic things that are not the most important today.”
Last Saturday, Duke referred to the possible assistance of Maduro to the investiture of Petrowho will be the first left-wing president in Colombia, and said that as long as he is the president of the country, the Venezuelan ruler will not enter the national territory because he is not recognized as the legitimate head of state.
“It is not a matter of letting or not letting in, it is that Nicholas Maduro is not recognized by me as the legitimate president of Venezuela and as long as I am the president of Colombia, he will not enter Colombian territory as president of Venezuela.”he claimed.
In today’s interview, Petro also spoke about the conversation he had with Maduro after the elections, in which they did not talk about “specific issues.”
However, he said that “there are some priority issues: opening trade on the border, recovering the border for the two States -which implies running, cornering, dislodging the armed groups that are today on both sides of the border-, and the third has to do with Monomers”.
Monómeros is a petrochemical company with Colombian state participation and Petróleos de Venezuela, of which Guaidó came to have control in 2019 and is in legal disputes.
It is “the company that did in Colombia most of the fertilizers for agriculture, which we are now importing at prices three times higher than the prices that existed at the beginning of the crisis and that has produced the growth of all food prices”, commented Petro, which , as he said, has led to the “growth of hunger.”
For this reason, he added that when he assumes the Presidency he will promote the recovery of “the subsidized production of fertilizers in Colombia”, which right now depends on imports from Russia, with which he would be “solving a major issue at this time that it gives hope that it is the hunger”.

Seattle Dating Safety
Dating in Seattle can be an exciting experience, but safety should always be your top priority. As a bustling city with a diverse population, Seattle offers numerous opportunities for singles search. However, it’s essential to remember a few crucial safety tips when embarking on your search for love. Firstly, always trust your instincts. If something feels off during your singles search, it likely is. Whether you're exploring the trendy bars in Capitol Hill or the cozy coffee shops in Ballard, always pay attention to your gut feelings when interacting with potential partners. Secondly, ensure you meet in public places. As captivating as the Seattle skyline can be at night, secluded areas aren't ideal for initial meet-ups. Stick to public, well-lit areas where there are people around. A popular choice for Seattle singles search is Pike Place Market, with its bustling atmosphere and myriad of dining options. Equally important is to keep personal information private during your singles search. Seattle is renowned for its tech-savvy population, and many dating interactions may start online. However, this doesn't mean you should share everything about yourself right away. Maintain your privacy and be wary of sharing too much personal information. Another effective strategy for dating safety is to inform a friend or family member about your plans. Let them know where you're going, who you're meeting, and when you expect to be home. This simple act can provide an extra layer of security during your singles search in Seattle. Lastly, take it slow. In your singles search, you might feel the urge to rush into a new relationship, but it's vital to take the time to get to know the person you're dating. Seattle's dating scene is varied and vast, and there's no need to rush. Enjoy the journey of finding the perfect partner. In conclusion, the singles search in Seattle can be thrilling and full of potential. However, maintaining an emphasis on safety is crucial. Trust your instincts, protect your personal information, meet in public places, inform a loved one about your plans, and take your time. With these tips in mind, your Seattle dating experience can be secure and enjoyable. | <urn:uuid:aa69a6bb-9792-4794-845f-e9fbb27bdb8a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://2flirts.com/singles-search/WA/singles-search-Seattle-WA.html | 2024-04-15T00:55:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.922681 | 1,515 |

Cooking the future: Recipes as a form of speculation
Xiaowei Wang, UC Berkeley - Geography
Toronto 2021: Performance
For this presentation as “cooking show”, I will cook three speculative dishes that examine the ways technology, power, and markets are transforming agriculture, notions of “public” in public health, and the countryside. These speculative recipes come from Audre Lorde’s sentiment, “There are no new ideas, there are only new ways of making them felt.” Recipes have evolved through time as a subversive history of technological and societal change. As measurements became standardized, as supply chains grew longer, refrigeration and shipping containers gave rise to global trade of farmed tilapia from China to the US, as women entered the workforce with less time to make elaborate dishes, recipes have captured so many changes into a visceral medium, a work of corporeal piety. The recipes I will cook are excerpted and cut from my book, Blockchain Chicken Farm: And Other Stories of Tech in China’s Countryside, are meant to provoke and think through the ways food will change in the future, and what ways of living, what kinds of technology these recipes are situated in. While some of them use yet-to-exist ingredients, such ingredients can be substituted for ones you do have, I hope they can aid you in making a meal to think through technology and power in embodied ways, and provide some quarantine reflection. | <urn:uuid:22420418-2d80-4c4a-b14b-0d4fa3b963ab> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://4sonline.org/news_manager.php?page=27353 | 2024-04-14T22:50:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.956611 | 301 |

“Fixed Medical Allowance (Para 8.17.51)
FMA: Grant of Medical Allowance of Rs.2000 pm to all retired employees & Pensioners
i) The cost had exorbitantly increased for the Medicines, Consultation Fee and cost of Pathological Test required for day to day medical treatment since 1997 (when the FMA was initially granted) and this had risen at a much steeper rate the Price Index.
ii) A large proportion of Pensioners were residing in remote areas or villages having no excess to CGHS Dispensaries & Railway Hospitals and are as such, are wholly dependent on the paltry amount of FMA for day to day treatment of self & spouse.
It is, therefore, requested that the FMA may please be revised to atleast Rs.2000 p.m.”

The push to get former Raiders coach and quarterback Tom Flores into the Pro Football Hall of Fame — which picked up speed as a nationally broadcast beer commercial earlier last month — took a political turn Monday when a group of California Latino legislators introduced a resolution urging the NFL to make it happen.
Assembly House Resolution 13 was introduced Jan. 25 and adopted Monday “with overwhelming support,” according to a statement sent by the office of Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia, a Democrat from Coachella whose 56th District includes Indian Wells, where Flores lives.
Organizers of the resolution said it would be sent to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and members of the Hall’s Selection Committee.
“Tom Flores has broken barriers throughout his career, overcoming adversity to accomplish many firsts for Latinos in the NFL. After a lifetime of outstanding accomplishments, Flores has more than earned his spot in the Hall of Fame and should be inducted this year, without delay,” Garcia said in the statement. “Tom Flores is a living NFL legend and a true inspiration for Latino youth and families across our nation.”
The Hall of Fame Class of 2021 will be announced Saturday, on the eve of the Super Bowl. Flores was named a finalist by the Hall’s Coach Committee and will need to receive 80 percent of the votes from the 48-member Selection Committee for induction.
In a late December interview with the Desert Sun, Flores, who will turn 84 next month, said: “My feeling now is I’m not getting too overconfident. I am the only (coach) on the ballot of the old timers, so I would say my chances are better than pretty good.”
Flores was the first Latino to play quarterback in the NFL and was the Raiders’ primary starter for six seasons beginning with the franchise’s founding in 1960.
He finished his playing career as a backup with the Chiefs in 1969, with whom he won his first Super Bowl ring. He collected a second as the receivers coach under John Madden when the Raiders won Super Bowl XI, but his greatest success came as a head coach, taking over for Madden in 1979 and leading the team to wins in Super Bowls XXV and XVIII (the latter when the team was in Los Angeles), again as the first Latino.
In his statement, Garcia noted that despite being one of only 13 head coaches to win multiple Super Bowl titles, he’s one of only four to do so and not be in the Hall of Fame.
“Tom Flores undoubtedly deserves to be in the NFL Hall of Fame,” said state Sen. María Elena Durazo, a Democrat from Los Angeles and chair of the California Latino Legislative Caucus. “His professional career has been defined by breaking down barriers to Latinos in American football, both as a player and as a coach. And while he has been looked upon as a trailblazer in the Latino community, his record on its own, regardless of his background, is Hall of Fame-worthy.”
The push behind Flores received a boost in early January when Coors Light began running a series of TV ads “proudly supporting a chill legend’s road to the Hall” while also announcing that his image would appear on a limited edition can next to the brand’s blue mountains logo. | <urn:uuid:319b0333-7c91-47ae-a12d-c3757174ffa4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://a13.asmdc.org/news/20210202-hall-fame-case-tom-flores-gets-boost-state-latino-legislators | 2024-04-14T23:49:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.980091 | 694 |

The Pacific Northwest’s old-growth forests provide habitat for endangered birds, as well as clean drinking water and a vast carbon store. Unfortunately, conserving these special forests continues to be a great challenge.
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) and conservation of public lands are critical to the conservation of the old-growth forests these birds inhabit. Here some key documents from our campaign to protect the Northern Spotted Owl and Marbled Murrelet:
This small bird nests in tall, old-growth trees in coastal forests from the Aleutians and the southern coast of Alaska south to northern California, and from eastern Siberia south to Japan. Because of its solitary habits, the first nest of this sea-going species in North America was not found until 1974.
The Marbled Murrelet population in California, Oregon, and Washington is distinct and is listed as a threatened species because its distribution in the Pacific Northwest has declined, perhaps by as much as 40 percent, due to logging and coastal development that have destroyed much of its nesting territory.
As the murrelet forages for fish at sea, gillnet fishing and pollution from oil spills also pose threats.
Populations have also declined severely in the northern Gulf of Alaska, though Alaska remains the stronghold of the species, with up to 90 percent of the total North American numbers found there.
Conservation of the coastal forests where it breeds is the most essential step to protect the species and in 2015, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will be updating its critical habitat designation to address existing and new threats.
The Northern Spotted Owl has received much study in recent years because of its favored habitat and the controversies that surround it: old-growth conifer forests in the Pacific Northwest from British Columbia to northern California. These forests have high commercial value, and most tracts have been logged, bringing about the decline of the owl.
Data indicate that populations continue to decline at about three percent a year rangewide. It is currently listed as Threatened under the ESA, but the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is considering uplisting the subspecies to endangered status due to the ongoing decline.
Competition with the Barred Owl, which has arrived in the Northern Spotted Owl’s range in recent years, is also a threat to the species. Barred Owls displace Spotted Owls, and the numbers of the former have increased considerably within the range of the Spotted Owl in the past 25 years.
We are working to reverse the rapid decline in both Marbled Murrelet and Northern Spotted Owl populations by permanently protecting large blocks of mature and old-growth forest in the Pacific Northwest.
We encourage incentives for private landowners to protect old-growth forests and advocate for progressive forest management reforms to restore additional owl and murrelet habitat.
In 2015, the Obama administration planned to update President Clinton’s landmark Northwest Forest Plan, which protects much of the remaining old growth habitat in the Northwest but that effort which sought to weaken protections was put on hold due to strong public opposition. We are leading advocacy efforts to ensure the threatened Marbled Murrelet and Spotted Owls are protected as the Northwest Forest Plan is updated.

This window was commissioned by a parishioner to be a partner to the existing panel of Jesus as a baby. Fitting that both windows are behind the font. The original design concept was given as inspiration and from that we drew the cartoon. This is an article I wrote about it for the local parish magazine.
In 2012 I was thrilled to be asked to design and make a window for Christchurch, Coldharbour. Having lived in Abinger Hammer for nearly 18 years ( a new comer I know!) I have yearned for the opportunity to do this so jumped at the chance.
Stained glass was originally set into churches to educate an illiterate congregation. The light passing through coloured glass was thought to carry the spiritual light from the heavens into the building. It’s not difficult to imagine how amazed and uplifted the medieval congregation might have been when seeing this coloured light for the first time and the wonderful images it portrayed.
In my own humble way I am treading in the footsteps of these artists and craftsmen and am honoured to have my work placed along side some of the most well respected stained glass artists of the 20th Century within the church.
My love of stained glass began when I was at Chelsea Art School in 1982 where part of my course studies stained glass. I have been working in this medium constantly since 1986 gaining a solid training in one of the countries leading stained glass companies, Goddard and Gibbs.
In The Moses Window I have employed all the traditional techniques used in making a stained glass window. An initial inspiration picture was provided by the donor, Morag, and from this I produced a full size cartoon, a drawing of the image. This cartoon shows all the lead lines and also all the paint detail that will go into the final window.
From this I created a cutline, this cutline depicts the heart of every lead and I used this to cut the glass on. I chose the glass very carefully for this project. I wanted it to look contemporary not to look totally out of place to its partner panel.
The sky is cut in a rich streaky blue, this glass along with the glass of the fan is some I had saved for the ‘right project’! This is mouth blown English antique glass made by a company called Hartley Wood and Co which sadly closed in 1997.
The robe of the fan bearer is cut in new glass, made by the English Antique Glass company and made in the same way as the much older glass, I chose this as it matches the wings in the partner window.
The reeds are created on streaky green glass with the addition of some green enamels and some silver stain, a silver oxide painted onto the back of the glass and fired in which creates a yellow and this is what gives stained glass its name!
My colleague Norman Attwood painted this window for me. He is now in his 78th year and trained in Westminster, London at the old William Morris and Co in the 1950’s. Norman and I have worked closely together for many years since he joined Goddard and Gibbs in 1992. | <urn:uuid:38c538a4-d5e4-4e97-a7de-3535785456d2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://abinger-stained-glass.co.uk/portfolio-item/moses-window/ | 2024-04-14T23:56:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.978503 | 632 |

Having the skills to write a strong persuasive essay is always useful. Writing a persuasive essay begins with the writer formulating their own opinion on a topic, attempting to convince their readers of this opinion by walking them through several ethical and logical arguments.
What is a persuasive essay?
A persuasive essay presents numerous ethical and logical arguments with an emotional appeal and an objective of swaying readers to a particular point of view. Persuasive writing can be in the form of academic and personal writing and begins with a question that the writer uses to argue in favor of or against. For a personal persuasive essay, the writer makes a firm and bold statement backed with data, research, and scientific evidence. Then, from time to time, the writer will explore opposing arguments to discredit them.
Elements of a persuasive essay
Three basic modes of persuasion should characterize every persuasive essay. Philosopher Aristotle formulated these elements to enable a compelling argument to persuade the readers' point of view.
Ethos is an ingredient of argument and persuasion in which the writer establishes credibility, knowledge of the subject, and good moral character. As a result, it's more likely for the reader to trust someone with credible knowledge, personal experience, or standing within a community. In addition, the presence of ethos in your persuasive essay makes it easier to sell your point of view to the reader.
It is an appeal made to the readers' emotions to revoke feelings. Triggering particular emotions in your reader enables them to connect with you as a narrator. In addition, triggering emotions provides a layer of interest to your audience, making your writing more compelling and stickier.
Logos is a persuasive or rhetorical appeal to the readers' logic and rationality. An excellent persuasive essay outlines several logical reasons that enable the reader to believe the writer's arguments.
How to write a persuasive essay
Different writers approach the process of writing a persuasive essay differently. Still, there are some general guidelines to follow when the objective is to persuade your audience with your words. Below are some guidelines to follow when writing a persuasive essay.
- Select a topic you are passionate about.
It is important to write about a subject you are passionate about as you will be arguing about something you truly believe in. if the option presents itself of picking a topic, choose the one that appeals to your sensibilities. Also, having a strong opinion about your subject makes its defense easier.
- Know your audience
Before you try to convince your readers to believe what you are writing and be in agreement with your point of view, it's important to know your audience first. For example, if you are writing a persuasive essay about why corporal punishment should be abolished from the school system, your audience will likely be parents. Hence, when writing to your targeted demographic, you should keep that in mind.
- Do your research on both sides
To convince your audience to agree, you must know the opposing side of the argument and provide evidence to get them to disagree with opposing statements. Your audience may be completely stuck in their ways. Hence being knowledgeable of both sides of your arguments and how to effectively counter the opposition will assuage any follow-up questions your audience may have that can cast doubt on your position.
- Outline your argument
Before writing your persuasive essay, outline your entire essay to aid in organizing your thoughts, research, and lay out your essay structure. Then, detail all your main points and couple them with all of the relevant, supporting evidence from the cited sources.
- Write your introduction
All good persuasive essays start with a solid introductory statement, the first paragraph of a paper. The main objective of the introduction is to present the general premise of the paper, provide the necessary background information, appeal to the readers' emotions, and captivate their attention. As a writer, you can do this by a personal anecdote from your life experience or information from your research. You should also present the thesis statement for your essay in the introductory paragraph—a good thesis statement functions as a road map for the persuasive essay writing that lies ahead. The introduction articulates the essay's main point in one or two sentences, and the rest of the paper reinforces that point.
- Include the body paragraphs
The body paragraph is where the writer provides data and scientific evidence to back up your thesis and present your counterarguments. Every good body paragraph contains three main sections; a topic sentence (or key sentence), relevant supporting sentences, and a closing sentence (or transition). This structure keeps your paragraph focused on the main idea, providing clear, concise information. You will also discuss any opposing opinions in the body and why they should be discredited, so ensure your essay can be supported with credible or relevant information.
- Close the essay with a strong conclusion
A conclusion is the last piece of writing in a research paper, essay, or article that summarizes the entire work. The conclusion paragraph should restate your thesis, summarize the key supporting ideas you discussed throughout the work, and offer your final impression of the central idea. The conclusion is where you include your call to action if you are trying to urgently persuade your reader to take action over a particular issue quickly.
Before submitting your essay, always proofread your work a few times before submitting or presenting. Your essay credibility can be negatively impacted by a few missed words, grammatical errors, or sentence structure problems.
The ability to write an essay that is persuasive is a valuable skill that can be applied in a variety of contexts, including academic as well as personal. Writers can effectively present their arguments to their audiences and persuade their readers to adopt their point of view if they have a solid understanding of the elements of ethos, pathos, and logos. It is important to select a topic that is meaningful to the writer, comprehend the audience, research both sides of the argument, and organize the essay by outlining in order to write an effective persuasive essay. By adhering to these guidelines, writers will be able to produce an argumentative essay that is logically sound, emotionally engaging, and well supported. | <urn:uuid:0c17800a-fe1f-44e7-bff7-f841152bc597> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://acemyhomework.com/blog/persuasive-essay-guide-how-to-write-a-persuasive-essay | 2024-04-14T23:18:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.942275 | 1,225 |
Every so often, I meet people who have a similar mission to mine: to strengthen families, strengthen children, and strengthen our communities. Typically, their mission statement is not an almost exact replica of mine! I met with Marc and his coworker David today and was so impressed, I asked them to do a guest blog. These guys are so good, I received this article 1 hour and a half later. WOW! They are really excited. Read this article and then at the end, find out about a time you can meet them and learn about their passion firsthand.
How do we learn to parent? Many times, we learn as we go. So NewDay Services steps in as a support system!
Their mission is to rebuild children’s lives by helping their fathers gain the tools they need to redirect their lives. And they are starting a new program called The “Fatherhood Effect”. This program is really three-fold and highly focused on prevention. They aim to find fathers before they enter the system, fathers who may lack the necessary tools to be a successful parent, and fathers who love their child/ children and want to become a better dad.
The heart behind this program is to improve the lives of children. When dads are involved,
- 39% more likely to get A’s in school
- 45% less likely to repeat a grade
- 60% less likely to be expelled from school
- 75% less likely to have a teen birth
- 80% less likely to spend time in jail
Dads, guardians and male caregivers are invited to join the class for free! The program consists of a weekly 2.5-hour class at Serve Denton and additional mentoring (starting the middle of June). The class will be a place of encouragement where men will share their experiences, learn skills, and learn the importance of being an involved dad.
Marc Thompson and David Taylor will be facilitating the class, and they invite you to contact them with any questions! You can contact Marc at (940)-500- 0055 or
firstname.lastname@example.org and David at (940)-500- 0089 or email@example.com.
You can also stop by to visit them at the Serve Denton office. They are there Monday through Friday ready to help! | <urn:uuid:8b9f4f7e-f565-4afe-a08b-a75020291bdf> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://acorncounseling.services/education/parenting-2/guest-blog-by-marc-thompson-with-new-day-services/ | 2024-04-15T00:00:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.969206 | 475 |
Evidence of Autophagy in Trypanosoma cruzi Cells by Quantum Dots
Nanotoxicity by quantum dots (QDs) has been extensively studied in prokarionte and eukaryonte cells. In this context, we are using QDs capped with mercaptoacetic acid synthetized in an aqueous medium in order to evaluate the nanocytotoxicity effects as cell death by autophagy in Trypanosoma cruzi. To check this fact, we used two kinds of autophagy markers: 3 methyladenine autophagy (3-MA) a phosphatidylinositol 3- kinase (PI3k) inhibitor and monodansylcadaverine (MDC) a lisossomotropic fluorescent compound useful for identifying cadaverine protein present in the autophagic vacuoles. The quantification of control parasites, 3-MA treated parasites and/or incubated with two QDs concentrations (2 and 200 μM) was made from the growth curves. Then, the same samples were processed for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and labeling of autophagic vacuoles by MDC was qualitatively analyzed. The results from the growth curve indicated a decrease in parasite numbers incubated with 200μM QDs when compared to parasites incubated with 2μM QDs and the control group. In contrast, parasites incubated with 200μM QDs and treated with 10 and 15mM of 3-MA showed a dose-dependent reversion of cell death by 10% and 15% respectively. The parasite treated by MDC demonstrated many autophagic vacuoles. Also, we found ultrastructural morphological changes in parasites incubated with 2μM and 200μM QDs when compared to control group. Our results show that high QDs concentrations are toxic to T. cruzi, inducing cell death by autophagy. | <urn:uuid:ce33ae8f-8ad9-4564-8070-35065a585110> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://acta-microscopica.org/acta/article/view/207 | 2024-04-14T22:46:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.903555 | 398 |
Save Money As A Tourist In Dubai—Typically, Dubai is not a budget-friendly travel location, especially when it comes to food, drink, and lodging, therefore I’d like to share some money-saving ideas and methods with you. I’ve been here for 8 months and consider myself to have some of that all-important insider information.
So, whether it’s your first, second, or tenth visit, maybe you’ll find some helpful hints here to help you save money on your next trip to Dubai.
Table of Contents
Take The Subway (Choose Accommodation Near A Station)
Although Dubai’s public transportation is inadequate, spending time planning around it will save you money over the course of a week’s vacation. The metro system stretches from the airport to the Marina, covering a large portion of the city but only in a vertical line. Public transportation is scarce anywhere west or east of this location. All of this is important to know so that you can book a hotel near a metro station and save money, as most of the major tourist attractions are accessible by metro.
As a tourist, metro cards are quite comparable to the London Oyster card and are simple to obtain. You can top up your card at any station during your stay once you’ve received it. The tram around the marina and the monorail to the Atlantis Hotel can also be utilised with these passes.
Rather Than Staying At A Hotel, Rent An Apartment
Another aspect of Dubai that can be costly is lodging, which is costly for two reasons. To begin with, hotels in this area are posh, and hence come with a price tag to match. Second, staying in a hotel requires you to dine out for your meals, which may be quite costly! There are a few hostels in Dubai, but you won’t find the same type of budgets as you would in other nations because you won’t discover big mixed bed dorm rooms.
Another fantastic place to seek for lodging is Airbnb, where you may get some incredible rates in great locations with great amenities. This may be preferable to hostels because you have a lot more options and your own private area!
Reduce your alcohol consumption
You’re on vacation, after all, and you want to have a good time, let your hair down, and relax. However, if you’re on a tight budget in Dubai, this might not be the best option. Whether you buy it at a hotel bar, a beach club, or at a brunch, alcohol is expensive. Unfortunately, a pint of beer will cost you around £10. Of course, I’m not saying you shouldn’t drink, but here are some suggestions.
Purchase a few bottles in duty-free; you won’t be able to pick up some in a store while you’re here unless you have expat acquaintances in the city who have an alcohol licence. Plus, the prices in duty-free are significantly lower.
Only go to restaurants that provide drink specials; happy hour, ladies night, and gents night will all help you save money!
Make Use Of The Supermarket
This is related to my earlier remark about picking a place to stay where you can cook your own meals while on vacation. As I previously stated, dining out can quickly add up unless you go to the mall’s fast food section every day. Although groceries are still more costly than in most of Europe, eating out every night will undoubtedly be less expensive.
There are a variety of supermarket brands to pick from, including Waitrose (formerly known as Spinney’s) in the United Kingdom and Carrefour in France, which is a considerably more cost-effective option. Of course, the same rules apply: the larger the supermarket, the less money you’ll have to spend! In case you need something, the Mall of the Emirates has a large Carrefour.
Offers Should Be Researched Ahead Of Time
Dubai is a city that thrives on deals; it’s become a running joke that there’s always something on sale in this city, and you should never pay full price for anything. Of course, that’s going a little too far, but you get the picture. Time Out is a fantastic resource for everything, but they tend to highlight the greatest offers of the week in each issue of their magazine, as well as on their Instagram and website.
Another fantastic time to find deals in Dubai is around any holiday period; Ramadan has the best deals, but the holidays preceding and after this religious month also have plenty of bargains. They also feature the usual January bargains and white (black) Friday deals.
Visit During The Off-Season
Now, this may not appeal to everyone or be feasible for you, but changing your visit time can be really beneficial. Dubai is busiest from October to March, when the temperature is cooler and tourists are looking for a break from the northern hemisphere winter. However, if you visit before or after these dates, you may be able to get better bargains, particularly on accommodations and flights.
I don’t recommend the above, but if you despise the heat, no amount of savings can compensate for sweating nonstop for a week on vacation. If that describes you, there are still savings to be had if you visit during the school vacations.
Then Go To The Old Quarter
The Old Quarter in Dubai is one of the city’s most prominent historical sites. Visitors may observe what life was like in Dubai during the heyday of trade, when the Creek was the city’s lifeline. Apart from the numerous attractions, another fantastic feature of Dubai’s Old Quarter is that it is far less expensive than the rest of the city. Visitors can pay 3 AED to enter the Dubai Museum and 1 AED to take a boat taxi across the Creek. Everything else is priced similarly – with the exception of the Gold Souk, of course!
Become More Active
When it comes to filling out a Dubai agenda, visitors are typically surprised by how many locations there are to work out and get active – all of which are completely free. Instead of spending a day drinking or shopping, try jogging near the beach or visit one of the city’s many bicycle trails, some of which even provide free bike rentals. This is a wonderful activity for the whole family at a low cost!
Go To The Beach
Many visitors to Dubai choose to stay in resorts with private beaches, but this is not an option for those trying to save money on their vacation. However, Dubai boasts a number of public beaches that are equally as beautiful and may be a great place for travellers to spend the day. Whether it’s sunbathing, swimming, or borrowing a beach volleyball for free, Dubai’s public beaches provide a variety of activities that are either free or inexpensive.
Take A Tour Of Some Of Dubai’s Parks
The several parks across town are another series of public places that are sure to please the crowds. These are great places for families to spend a day together, especially in the winter when Dubai’s temps are ideal for outdoor activities. These areas provide tourists with unusual vegetation that is rarely seen in the city, as well as the opportunity to enjoy a picnic. Parks in Dubai provide a safe environment for children to run around and play while their parents rest.
Save Money As A Tourist In Dubai by Keeping An Eye Out For Free Events
Dubai is well-known for hosting a variety of concerts and sporting events throughout the year, but many people are unaware that the city also hosts a number of free events every year. You will most certainly have to pay for your own meals at these events, but admission is free. Checking the Dubai Calendar online or downloading their app, where most events in town are shared with the public – including the free ones! – is a wonderful way to stay on top of them.
You Should Not Go Shopping
This is a difficult one that requires a lot of self-control, but shopping is a big no-no for people seeking to conserve money when visiting Dubai. It’s highly tempting to visit Dubai Mall, the world’s largest shopping mall, and peruse its 1200 outlets for the newest offers and trends. Visitors can avoid spending a lot of money on useless products by limiting their buying desires. It is preferable to preserve that money and spend it on the city’s key attractions.

These earrings caught my eye and I had to buy three pair of them in different stones.
The long elegant sterling silver wire has a beautiful curve to it and thins out for the ear portion.
(The wire is long enough in the back that they will not work their way off).
At the bottom sit beautiful unique purple Sugilite stones set in a complete bezel.
These stunning long dangle earrings hang 2.50″ from the top of the ear and are extremely feather weight.

Human cells, tissues, and organs break down for a number of reasons, including aging, disease, physical damage or congenital defects. In the musculoskeletal system, this includes damage to the spinal structure, joints, tendons, and ligaments.
In addition to the effects of aging, reasons for these issues can include sports or other impact injuries and such degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis. Think of the people you know who are still hobbled today by a football of skiing injury from decades ago.
Whatever the cause, these disorders are traditionally treated through surgery. Or the chronic pain is masked by powerful and potentially dangerous pain meds. Some patients simply learn to live with the pain for as long and as well as they possibly can.
Today, there’s a much better option: innovative medicine. Our office won’t treat your chronic pain with drugs and surgery. At Advanced Medical Solutions in Myrtle Beach SC, we provide effective pain management by practicing two forms of this innovative, minimally invasive and drug-free treatment strategy.
Let’s start with a basic definition of this biotechnology.
What is Innovative Medicine?
The theory behind innovative medicine is that stem cells or your own platelets, from another part of your body, can stimulate your body’s fast cell or tissue growth, quickly establishing or restoring normal function to the area. Even long-term pain can be greatly reduced and often eliminated altogether.
Innovative medicine is a minimally invasive process, featuring an injection of the human cells into the damaged area. We’ve offered this procedure to many of our patients and have seen incredible results.
What We Treat Through Innovative Medicine
Patients come to see us with injuries or debilitating conditions that they’ve sometimes had to live with for years or even decades. Here are some of the leading conditions we treat with Innovative medicine:
- Lumbar spine pain
- Rotator cuff injuries, including acute tear
- Golfer’s and tennis elbow
- Plantar fasciitis
- Ankle injuries
- Achilles tendon injuries
- Knee joint, hip joint, shoulder joint and ankle joint osteoarthritis
- Nerve entrapment syndromes, like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Sacroiliac joint pain
- Neck pain
- Shoulder pain
- Hamstring strains
- Hip strains
- Knee instability and pain
Call to Schedule an Appointment
Is innovative medicine the right treatment option for your chronic musculoskeletal pain? You owe it to yourself to at least schedule an examination. We’ll diagnose your condition, answer all of your questions and explain the treatment plan that’s right for you. If innovative medicine is recommended, we’ll thoroughly explain the process and prognosis.
Contact Advanced Medical Solutions in Myrtle Beach SC today. Just fill out our convenient online appointment request form here. Then see how better pain management through innovative medicine can dramatically change your life for the better. You can call us at (843) 742-7922 to schedule an appointment today! | <urn:uuid:01cf9232-b82f-4ac1-9075-bf3f2cda8068> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://advancedmedicalsolutions.org/inonovative-medicine | 2024-04-14T22:41:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.919721 | 645 |

Then came Mallory Staples and state Sen. Colton Moore, two ultra-conservative Republicans who aggressively opposed House Bill 986, a bill that would have used computer-generated deepfake versions of politicians to deceive voters. would criminalize doing so, which was the subject of the hearing.
“Hi, I’m Mallory, the director of the state Freedom Caucus. I want you all to know that I was wrong about HB 986,” said Phonie Staples. “This bill is essential to protecting the integrity of our elections.”
He pointed to the peacock, R-Trenton, who has veered so far to the right that he was kicked out of the Senate GOP caucus. And banned from the floor of the Georgia House last week.
“I know I don’t see eye to eye with many of you. Fortunately, with the power of AI I’m here to speak in favor of a Republican bill, proof that miracles do happen.” The AI version of Moore said in a nod to the real senator’s knack for voting “no” on most bills.
Deepfake Colton Moore then announced his candidacy for US Representative Marjorie Taylor Green’s 14th Congressional District.
“If AI can be used to get Colton Moore to speak in favor of a popular piece of legislation, it can be used to get any of you to say things you’ve never said. ” said Fonnie Moore. “Are you prepared to deal with the consequences of allowing AI deepfakes to remain a viable and legal campaign strategy?”
State Rep. Brad Thomas, Republican of Cherokee County, told lawmakers that it was built cheaply with readily available AI software.
“We’re at a point in our society where creative AI outstrips the invention of the wheel,” Thomas said. “It’s what the future is built on. But it has bad uses.”
The committee approved HB 986 9-1, with Senate Majority Leader Steve Gooch the lone dissenter.
Under the Golden Dome:
The final sprint. With just four legislative days left in the 2023-2024 legislative session, lawmakers are scrambling to negotiate and pass their prized packages.
Bills to be moved include:
Forced enforcement. Two new immigration bills in the General Assembly — House Bill 1105 and HB 301 — are getting mixed reviews from Georgia sheriffs who say the bills ignore the complexities of enforcing immigration laws at the local level.
Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills said of the proposed new reporting requirements in a move, “We’re constantly passing laws that impose heavy, ancillary duties on us because (other counties) won’t comply with the law.” ” “Every minute we are burdened with a bureaucratic reporting process that is eroding our ability to protect the public on the road.”

DC launch for the Carter Center. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was among the lawmakers who stopped by a Capitol Hill reception Tuesday night to celebrate the Carter Center’s new presence in Washington.
Diana Fellner is the new Washington-based program director who will advocate for issues championed by both the Carter Center and the Rosalyn Carter Institute for Caregivers. Priorities will include mental health and resources for caregivers. He began working in the role in January.
Other guests at the reception included U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Lithonia; Carter Center CEO Paige Alexander; and Joshua Carter, grandson of President Jimmy Carter and his late wife Rosalyn.
In addition to Pelosi, U.S. Rep. Sanford Bishop, D-Albany, recounted memories of working with Carter over the decades and later as his ally in southwest Georgia.
US Senator Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., said he will do what he can to help the Carter Center and the Rosalynn Carter Institute achieve their goals on Capitol Hill.
“I am grateful to The Carter Center for its continued focus on human rights and democracy around the world,” said Ossoff. “And I am grateful to RCI for carrying on the work of an extraordinary first lady to help those who urgently need help in their hour of need.”

Today in Washington:
No possibility of shutdown. We’re officially winding down our countdown to the shutdown clock when leaders of both houses announced Tuesday that an agreement has been reached on the six remaining appropriations bills.
As long as the bills are passed later this week, or even early next week, the impact of the partial government shutdown will be minimal.
We want to see how many House Republicans support the measure and whether Speaker Mike Johnson gets a blow for negotiating a deal with the possibility of getting more Democratic support than Republicans.
We’re also looking at the new benchmark list to see which projects in Georgia receive funding.
The latest package of combined appropriations bills included more than $250 million in appropriations for Georgia.
Georgia Affairs. U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock wasn’t the only Georgia lawmaker featured on MSNBC’s “Politics Nation” this weekend. The host, the Rev. Al Sharpton, also featured U.S. Rep. Nikima Williams as part of what he described as a spotlight on the “critical state of the battlefield.”
Williams, D-Atlanta, covered much of the same ground as Warnock, from former President Donald Trump, the growing humanitarian crisis in Haiti and an election interference lawsuit involving Georgia voter turnout in Fulton County. Includes efforts to oust District Attorney Fannie Willis. 2024 Presidential Contest.
He also said Democrats will focus on reproductive rights as they build their case to re-elect Joe Biden.

Dubai Airshow Recap: Day 3
Boeing came away from a day at the Dubai Airshow with the headline news for the first time on Tuesday as the American aircraft manufacturer inked a deal with Indian startup Akasa Air for 72 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.
Valued at nearly $9 billion at list prices, the bill is likely to go to Inidan billionaire Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, who is helping to provide funding for the new airline run by a former chief executive of Indian low-cost carrier IndiGo and former chief executive of Jet Airways, the long-beleaguered Mumbai-based carrier.
“We are already witnessing a strong recovery in air travel, and we see decades of growth ahead of us,” Chief Executive Officer Vinay Dube said at the Dubai Airshow.
Airbus also landed a pair of headline orders on Tuesday, with the first coming from the Kuwaiti carrier Jazeera Airlines. The company was founded in 2004 and, according to planespotters.net, operates a fleet exclusively of Airbus A320 aircraft, including both the A320neo, short for new engine option, and the traditional variant.
The order confirmed on Tuesday includes 28 A320neo aircraft, affirming the airline’s commitment to a single type as it expands its route network beyond its current slate of regional and European destinations.
Another relative market newcomer, Uyo, Nigeria-based Ibom Air said it had firmed up an agreement to purchase 10 Airbus A220 aircraft from the European manufacturer.
The airline currently has two of the type in service, which it took over from Air Sinai after it folded, according to planespotters.net. That is in addition to five Bombardier CRJ900s that currently operate throughout the airline’s all-Nigerian route network.
The order for the A220 will be added to the end of an already massive backlog Airbus is currently looking at for the aircraft type, which it took control of from Canadian manufacturer Bombardier in mid-2018. Still officially a joint partnership with the government of the Canadian province of Quebec, with over 600 orders currently on the books, the investment looks slated to yield a solid return for the French conglomerate.
Another African carrier to place orders on Tuesday was Air Tanzania. The flag carrier of the East African nation said it would add one Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, one Boeing 767-300 freighter and two 737 MAX aircraft to its fleet. According to the airline, this will supplement its current fleet of four Bombardier Dash 8-Q400s, two A220s and two 787-8s.
Away from new orders, there was also a set of cabin interior announcements Tuesday, as Singapore Airlines unveiled lie-flat seats for its Boeing 737 MAX first class cabins and Emirates Airline said it would bring its Premium Economy class to over 100 aircraft for its nearly 200-strong fleet
Finally, the flying and static demonstrations continued for companies from across the industry as each looked to leave the week with a heavier order book than when they arrived.

For the design of the interior in the apartment 50 square meters. meters was used minimalism style. The authors of the project at its implementation tried to fully follow the wishes of the owners and leave as much free space as possible. All the main zones, which must be functional, are very clearly visible visually.
From the very beginning the layout of the apartment was free, except for the bathroom, but in the process of work most of the walls were moved - the bathroom became much wider, and the living room became, one can say, a single whole with a loggia.
The interior is very light and in a special way airy, fenced off from prying eyes was only a bedroom. In order to emphasize the unity of the whole space in the apartment, the floor covering is the same for all areas - a parquet board.
Minimalism is distinguished by a large amount of white color, into which the walls are painted. The facade of dark furniture and the panel in the bedroom, made of wood, contrast perfectly with the general background. For finishing the bathroom, granite tiles of natural gray and beige color were used.
The minimalism in the apartment is 50 square meters. meters there are distinctive moments: the presence of warm natural shade, natural finishing materials (natural stone and elements of wood) make the interior unusually cozy.
The dynamic atmosphere of the apartment gives a contrast of calm white background and glossy panels that are in the living room. Painted in the dark gray color of the bedroom walls make it more calm.
Style минимализм отличается ограниченным количеством мебели, что позволяет не загромождать пространство. Зато вся имеющаяся мебель уютная и достаточно простая, как и все современные гарнитуры.
A cozy living room makes a large sofa with fabric upholstery, in the kitchen area there are many wooden furniture items - there is a table and high wooden chairs. The dining area was replaced by a bar. All clothes are stored in a large closet in the entrance area, and in the bedroom there is a small-sized closet in which the laundry is stored.
It is not recommended to decorate the interior of an apartment of 50 square meters. meters using a lot of decorative elements - so all the space, even very large, will seem fragmented and that's why close.
Design elements can be used, such as a large poster with a bright red ladybug above the desk. Of the textile elements, there will be enough transparent tulle and heavy beige curtains, with which the situation becomes softer and cozy.
Lighting in such apartments, where everything seems to be one, is very important to organize correctly. It is best to make the light common, but do not forget about the local light source for each zone. So it is possible to single out a specific zone on the background of the others and to provide it with sufficient illumination.
The authors of the project selected the following sources of local illumination: a strict floor lamp near the sofa, hangers that hang from the ceiling with one line, in the dining area, a bedside lamp in the bedroom and a decorative ball-shaped lampshade in the bathroom. The latter has a form that ensures the play of light and shadow in the room. | <urn:uuid:19472065-3059-4cff-a555-c06493eb06a7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://albertolamaphotography.com/apartment/how-to-correctly-design-a-city-apartment-of-50-square.html | 2024-04-14T23:06:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.932611 | 828 |

If you’re noticing that your AC isn’t working properly this summer – possibly because your rooms are unusually warm or your cooling bills are unusually high – you might be thinking about investing in some kind of maintenance. Either an AC repair or replacement job may be able to help solve your problem. However, there are some easier fixes that you can try that might be able to work just as effectively. Here are three simple AC fixes that can help you save time and money this summer: AC installation in Champlin MN
Check The Air Filter
The air filter is one of the most common reasons why people notice efficiency issues with their HVAC units. The air filter is a device that collects dirt and dust from the outside air and prevents it from blowing into the interior of your home. It fits snugly in your main HVAC unit, and can easily become clogged. When this happens, air flow is inhibited and it can prevent your rooms from staying cool this summer as well as raising your energy bills. Luckily, this problem is fairly easy to fix. Your HVAC company in Brooklyn Center MN will likely recommend that you clean your air filter at the beginning and end of each season and change it out every couple years to prevent any issues.
Change Thermostat Batteries
Another quick fix is to think about changing your thermostat batteries. If your rooms are warmer than normal this summer, even though your thermostat is set to the same temperature, or if you notice your unit turning on and off randomly, it could be a sign that your thermostat batteries need to be replaced. Even if this doesn’t end up being the problem with your unit – it’s worth a shot to try it out! It can end up saving you a more costly repair if it turns out to be the problem.
Clean The Unit Interior
Lastly, the interior of your HVAC unit needs to be cleaned out every once in a while. Similarly to the air filter, the interior of your unit can become clogged with dirt, dust, or grime, and prevent things from moving properly through the unit. Your unit can be wiped down with a damp cloth, and you should be sure to additionally remove any vegetation from the exterior of your unit as well to prevent additional inefficiency issues. If you’re not sure how to go about cleaning out the interior of your unit or to learn more about the proper way to go about fixing your AC, contact the team at All Climate Mechanical today.

These faucets operate with a single lever that controls the pressure and temperature of the water. It is the most common type of faucet used in the kitchen and requires the installation of one or two holes. Its price varies from cost-effective to expensive; it only depends on the brand.
As the name suggests, these faucets have two handles. Each handle controls a different temperature and requires two or more holes for assembly. They can be central (with each side on the same cover plate) or extended (where each handle and part of the valve are installed separately).
Wall Mount Faucet/Pot Filler Faucet
Wall-mounted kitchen faucets are the type of kitchen faucets that are wall-mounted and not the deck. These types are usually installed above the stove to fill the pots, sometimes called pot-filler faucets.
Faucet Water Filters
Some faucets have additional compatible accessories that you can purchase. Water filters are a simple addition that can be installed under the sink, or you can install a tap water filter directly on the faucet, which will filter the water.
Many faucets are compatible with the brand’s water filters, many of which appear in most stories. Low water pressure can also be a problem in some places, and in these cases, you need to install a softener, you can find the best damper or can opt for a water filter.
Buying Guide: The Best Kitchen Faucet for Low Water Pressure
Whether you’re just buying a new home or renovating your kitchen, one of the most important decisions you should make is to buy kitchen faucets. While a kitchen faucet for low water pressure may not seem like a vital household accessory, it is essential to choose the best one.
The best water-pressure kitchen faucet is used almost daily and sometimes even several times a day. Therefore, the wrong choice will be quite unfortunate. This is why we have collected the best reviews of kitchen faucets to guide you through the buying process.
There are different brands of faucets on the market. Before deciding on a purchase, you need to determine whether the water is strong or soft.
For Low water, consider the following:
Consider Style And Shape
Faucets are available in different shapes and styles. Choosing the right kitchen faucets to begin by becoming familiar with the different options available and knowing the advantages and disadvantages of each type.
For example, although a goose design usually has more space, it is not recommended if the sink is shallow. This takes us to the next point.
Existing kitchen accessories
The style, shape, and type of kitchen faucet you buy should be the one that fits your current kitchen settings. In terms of style, you must adapt and supplement the functionality of your countertop. You should also consider the space you have, the size of your sink, and the size of existing pipes, among other factors.
Create And Finish Touch
Good kitchen faucets are generally quite durable. In most cases, the life of the valve depends on the materials of construction and finish. You should always choose corrosion, and fog-resistant faucets as this may take longer. Also, the finish contributes to the appearance of your faucet.
From these kitchen faucet reviews, you can choose easy-to-install models. The most versatile models are compatible with multi-hole fittings. If you don’t want to hire a professional, consider the faucets that you can easily install.
These are some of the factors to consider when purchasing kitchen faucets. According to all indications, it is not enough that your choice is among the most qualified faucets. Still, it must also adapt to the characteristics of your kitchen, among other essential factors.
Of course, Low water is usually corrosive due to its content, like salt and chlorine. Other organisms cause valve corrosion. These destructive elements cause rapid wear of the valve, which increases the cost of replacing the valve.
As the faucet ages, the water begins to leak, even when not in use. This will result in high bills and wasted resources.
As noted above, low water contains chemicals that are corrosive to the faucet. In other words, when combined with water, it forms a toxic substance harmful to the water user. This can have long-term effects on the health of the wearer’s body.
When choosing the brand to buy, select the non-corrosive tap. There are corrosion-resistant valves, and it would be better to buy one. Save your future health complications by choosing the faucet you purchase today wisely.
Easy Assembly And Replacement
You may need to avoid extra costs when installing the faucet, instead of calling an installer each time you touch a malfunction. Look for an easy-to-replace faucet that you can make yourself. In addition to the ease of replacement, it should be easy to install in new condition.
Compatibility With Other Brands
At some point, you may need to switch between brands based on new preferences. Therefore, you will need a faucet that easily integrates with other brands. This will save on future costs that might arise and, if not, force you to change the entire water system (pipes) in your kitchen.
It must have a flexible design that can be adapted to all tactile positions without any problem.
A clean faucet is healthy living. Always look for a faucet that doesn’t cause too much trouble when cleaning. When you keep the faucet clean all the time, it will last a long time and serve you for a long time.
Dirty faucets wear out so quickly because dirt causes corrosion, which shortens the period of use.
Easy To Use And Water Control
It is good to buy an easy-to-use faucet and check for water leakage. If you want to minimize wasted water and save bills, this is one of the most important factors to consider.
Faucets that are complex can result in significant leaks unsustainable water bills and other incidental costs associated with control issues. It would also be more appropriate to allow high-pressure water to flow but with minimal spraying.
Capacity for MFP
Always choose a note that can offer different functions. Most high-tech kitchens have two sinks. You should consider a faucet that can be pulled between the two adjacent sinks.
Another positive attribute that you should need and consider when purchasing the faucet is the possibility of alternating hot water, cold water, and a mixture of hot and cold water with two control points. It should be comfortable and flexible to adjust the water flow to your ideal desire. Good choice!
How To Use kitchen faucet for low water pressure
After installing a kitchen faucet for low water pressure, the filtration of the water tank will begin. But most faucets require very limited amounts of daily maintenance. Cleaning the faucet should only require a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry the kitchen faucet with a soft cloth.
This will keep the original shine of your faucet. You can also use window cleaners on the faucet; however, the use of strong cleaning agents and abrasives can damage the finish of the faucet. Always read the standard instructions and warnings on all cleaning products before use.
Matt finish faucets may require additional spraying of furniture fluid or polishing during cleaning. The use of furniture paint on the faucet gives a more uniform appearance, reduces variations, and protects the tap from fingerprints, thanks to the silicone oil present in the enamel.
How To Install kitchen faucet for low water pressure?
Kitchen faucets are relatively simple to install, but we recommend that you consult the manufacturer’s manual to make sure you do it right.
Generally, it will start by disconnecting the power supply line and the water source, disconnecting the power lines, and removing the old valve (if applicable).
Then clean the area and place the faucet cover, or several pieces, over the holes where it will be mounted. Power the water line and reconnect them under the sink. Let the water run out without the aerator, then replace it.
The latest DIY project involves a hydraulic element because everything is incredibly easy to connect. However, it is a disaster if installed wrongly.
All of the kitchen faucets on the list can be installed by a non-technician who reads the included manual, although some installations are lighter than others (e.g., Moen). Whatever the brand, it is essential to have a good set of tools in case of a problem.
A good set of pliers, wrenches, safety glasses, gloves, and a towel is recommended for all configurations. Even if the instructions don’t mention it, having these items on hand will save you a lot of headaches in the future.
Note that the guidelines below may differ depending on the kitchen faucet and that this is just a generic set of instructions. Make sure to modify them according to your specific situation.
The first thing to do is to turn off the tap water and drain the excess tap water. Here is the towel, in case you forget this small and essential step.
One of the most difficult aspects of the installation is removing the old tap because here, you will know if the project will continue or should stop. Check for leaks, build-up, or anything else that could compromise the installation of the new faucet.
If everything is clear, remove the old tap and start installing the new one, paying particular attention to the differences in the connections.
In the manual, this is where users learn if an original manufacturer’s assembly needs to be configured in a specific way, which is common when switching from a 3-line system to a multifunction.
Don’t make the mistake of forgetting the apartment if you plan to install one; configure and connect everything in its place. Remember to tighten everything to make sure it is reliable and in place. You don’t want to spoil anything as it can ruin any kitchen if done poorly.
After reopening the water, test everything, and check the connections, keeping the towel if necessary. In some cases, professional help is recommended, but most of the time, it is a straightforward installation: almost anyone can do it by following the manual.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
When you buy the kitchen faucet for low water pressure brands, here are some frequently asked questions and helpful answers.

Joy Jensen via NaturalHealth365 – While vaccines generally take 15-20 years to get to the market, there’s been a significant push to get a COVID-19 vaccine ready to use to combat the current global pandemic. In fact, we previously reported that vaccines are being rushed to market while skipping procedures like animal testing before being used on humans.
We already know that most vaccine candidates fail, so testing them on humans without proper safety precautions could result in a solution that’s worse than the virus. Backing up our concerns is recent newsannouncing that AstraZeneca’s Phase 3 COVID-19 trials were put on hold after a participant in the United Kingdom experienced serious neurological symptoms.
Patient Developed Symptoms Consistent with Transverse Myelitis After COVID-19 Vaccine
According to reports by Stat News, a woman who was a part of the Phase 3 COVID-19 AstraZeneca vaccine trials came down with neurological symptoms that were consistent with transverse myelitis, a very serious and rare spinal inflammatory disorder. AstraZeneca did confirm that this woman had been injected with the vaccine and not a placebo in the trials. In addition, this participant was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis upon further examination, although this diagnosis was deemed to be unrelated to being treated with the COVID-19 vaccine.
While sources say the woman is expected to recover from her symptoms, the symptoms were enough to put the Phase 3 trials on hold – at least within the U.K. It remains unclear whether the pause on Phase 3 testing within the U.K. will affect plans for Phase 3 testing within the United States.
Along with this isolated report of serious neurological symptoms, studies on phase one and two, which were published in the medical journal the Lancet discovered multiple side effects. These side effects include reactions at the injection site, headaches, muscle pain, and fever, although they did subside during the course of the vaccine trials.
Adenovirus Used in AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 Vaccine
The AstraZeneca vaccine, which is called AZD1222, uses an adenovirus carrying a gene for one of the proteins found in SARS-CoV-2, which is the virus causing COVID-19. Scientists believe the adenovirus will cause the immune system to generate a protective response to SARS-2. While this platform hasn’t been used in any vaccines that have gained approval, it’s been tested in experimental vaccines designed for other viruses, such as the Ebola virus.
The advenovirus platform is still considered “experimental,” although it did serve as the basis for a COVID-19 vaccine in Russia. Known as Sputnik-V, this new vaccine was rolled out to the public in Russia within the past week.
According to a peer-reviewed study, which was published in the Lancet, that looked at early testing of the Sputnik-V vaccine, the Russian vaccine appears to be safe and effective. Naturally, we have our doubts.
It should be noted that most of these vaccine “trials,” involve relatively “young, healthy people.” One can only imagine what the results of these experimental COVID-19 vaccine trials would be, if they were done with an elderly population. And, that’s not to mention testing this new vaccine on people with diabetes, obesity or on multiple prescription medications for preexisting health issues.
So, obviously, the jury is still out on what will happen with AstraZeneca’s vaccine moving forward. Feeding into the general public distrust about vaccines, many other vaccine manufacturers remain quite secretive about their “progress.”

At National Journal today is an interview with Russell Pearce, the former Arizona state senate president who was responsible for passing SB 1070 into law. The entire interview is worth reading. Years after he was recalled for his role in passing SB 1070, then outvoted when he tried to return to the state senate, Pearce is unapologetic, still speaking about immigration in ways that do not allow for immigrants to be recognized as what they are — hard workers trying to provide for their families and achieve the American dream. Check out some of his responses:
What was the goal of S.B. 1070?
To enforce the law. I know it’s a novel idea, that to enforce the law might be the right thing to do. You can’t continue to ignore the damage to America. As you become a lawless and Godless nation, it destroys the very Republic that our founders put into place. And the cost of this illegal-alien invasion, in terms of crime, social cost, taxpayer costs—you think somebody would think that that’s a significant issue. They’re illegal. Illegal is not a race, it’s a crime.
Why do you use the word “invasion” to describe illegal immigration?
It’s every day it goes on. If it’s not an invasion, then what is it then? If you don’t like my term, then describe what it is to me. Our own government put up signs south of Interstate 8 [a major highway in Arizona] telling Americans to stay out—too dangerous, illegal aliens. And that’s 100 miles from the border. I use the term very appropriately. It’s not a rock-throwing issue. It’s a defined term that has meaning to it.
Why is Pearce’s interview important? Because Republicans like Steve King, Ted Cruz, Jeff Sessions, and other members of Congress are still speaking like this. They spoke of executive action in apocalyptic terms when it was first announced, and they’re sure to continue trying to defund and repeal it in the next Congressional session.
But more moderate Republicans should remember that, again, Russell Pearce was recalled from office and then rejected by voters when he tried to return. SB 1070 ignited protests and boycotts in which tourists cancelled vacations and national organizations refused to hold conferences in the state. It is estimated that Arizona lost $130 million because of the law — which ended up being mostly struck down by the Supreme Court anyway. Anti-immigrant politics in states like Arizona and Alabama have proved disastrous. And they will continue to be a disaster for the GOP politically if it pursues that course. | <urn:uuid:48fa22be-b2d8-4345-a6ab-5ff073c3116f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://americasvoice.org/blog/national-journal-russell-pearce-despite-sb-1070-disaster-unapologetic/ | 2024-04-15T00:33:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.965855 | 551 |

Effective for the beginning of fall semester, students will no longer have to pay $1.25 for each laundry wash or dry cycle, instead facing a $33 increase in residential fees to offset the costs of operating the laundry machines. The change to laundry payment, called the free-play laundry initiative, was jointly developed by the Association of Amherst Students (AAS) and the Office of Student Affairs (OSA).
The permanent elimination of pay-per-use laundry fees comes after the fees were temporarily suspended in February to compensate for a nearly week-long campus server outage, which left all students without school Wi-Fi and important services like Moodle and school email, and forced students to rack up charges on their personal cellular data for access to internet connection.
According to Chad LaDue, director of finance for the OSA, all residence halls received new laundry machines over the summer, with the exception of the Greenways, Valentine Hall and Marsh House, which already received new machines in the past few years.
LaDue said that if the college had kept the pay-per-use system, they anticipated that “with the installation of new machines, [the price] would have been at least $1.50 per cycle, a 20 percent increase.” He noted that other schools, including Mount Holyoke, Smith and UMass Amherst, all had “per cycle fees between $1.50 and $1.75 last year.”
In an email sent to the student body, AAS cited concern over “the expected increase in the per-use fee associated with upgrading the laundry machines” as one of the primary reasons senators engaged in exploring the initiative.
“The Office of Student Affairs, along with other campus partners, worked diligently to negotiate a new contract with the college’s laundry service provider to limit a price increase for the community and engaged the AAS in exploring a free-play model,” the email stated.
“The typical student had previously spent $40 per semester to do laundry in the residence halls,” said LaDue in an email interview. “The residence hall fee increased this semester by only $33 to support the ‘free-play’ laundry service. If the per-cycle fee had increased as anticipated to $1.50, students would likely have spent $48 per semester on laundry. It is expected that the new ‘free-play’ service will save students $15 per semester on the cost of their laundry, with the added convenience of not needing to load AC dollars or find coins to do laundry.”
Some students expressed enthusiasm for the initiative. Tom Lupien ’22 said that he was “excited about this change because $33 in the bill is a lot less than what [he] would be spending over the course of the semester in individual laundry fees.”
“I think it makes life more convenient for Amherst students and I’m glad that they did it. I really dislike having to deal with quarters when I do my laundry,” added Patrick Spoor ’22. “Either way, in comparison to the daunting costs of going to Amherst, it’s rather minimal, I think. It’s just better that it’s easier to use.”
Laura Draucker, the director of sustainability, expressed some concerns about “the possibility of free-play increasing use of the laundry facilities,” in turn increasing energy usage, but also noted that data will be collected “to track use and compare over time.”
“The good news is that the new washers use 15 to 20 percent less water per wash than the older machines,” said Draucker. “In the meantime, the Eco-Reps and interns in the Office of Environmental Sustainability hope to partner with AAS and ResLife on outreach in the laundry rooms about best laundry practices to save water and energy such as using the cold wash when possible, reducing dryer usage — which uses significant electricity — and doing full loads. In the past, Eco-Reps have provided drying racks to residents of their dorms, and we hope students will consider this energy-free alternative even with free-play.”
ResLife has also implemented a number of other changes for the new school year.
The college removed the name for Taplin Hall, renaming it Residence Hall A, a placeholder name until it receives a new designation. The change of name comes after the family associated with the Taplin name asked for the college to remove it from the dormitory, according to Chief Communications Officer Sandy Genelius.
An update to the Student Code of Conduct over the summer will also prohibit students from removing or storing college-issued furniture outside of their assigned room, “except [for] those with prior written approval by Accessibility Services or other relevant College authority.”
Other operational changes include the removal of Tea Times — events that resident counselors hold with their floor to encourage social engagement — in favor of a broader array of activities that fall under the category of “programming.” According to Dean Gendron, senior associate dean of students, the change was implemented due to an expansion of programmatic goals to “address wellness, inclusion and service,” which Tea Time goals would not sufficiently represent.
“The events known as ‘Tea Times’ have been understood as social gatherings that serve a casual and convivial purpose in a local community,” Gendron wrote in an email interview.
“Resident Counselors are evolving their programming to a level beyond the scope of the Tea Time goals.”
These changes come after David Watts, former assistant director of student life, departed the college for Tufts over the summer. The departure leaves ResLife with six active members on their team. Currently, ResLife is looking to fill two vacancies, for a total of eight full-time positions: the role that Watts left behind and an operations assistant position. Last year, The Student reported that ResLife would be increasing its number of staff from eight to 11 people.
Watts was a well-known figure on campus due to his presence in student-attended ResLife events such as the suite selection process. The Amherst Muck-Rake, a satirical publication, also persistently parodied his role, featuring Watts in many Instagram posts. | <urn:uuid:7109c544-a95c-4df5-9419-061653e6233b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://amherststudent.com/article/reslife-implements-a-series-of-changes-including-f/ | 2024-04-15T00:03:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.97037 | 1,333 |
Saving money from attic insulation is the real deal. When you increase your attics R-Value (resistance to hot or cold) you are directly impacting the amount of gas your furnace uses. This will impact how much money you spend on your heating bills every month. The current code for attic insulation in Michigan is R-49 which is 17.5 inches of fiberglass insulation. Only 5-10% of Michigan homes have this amount in their attics.
Until March 31st 2012 Consumers Energy of Michigan is offering a $300 rebate check to anyone who upgrades their insulation to R-49. Call Amistee Insulation at 877-349-8877 for a free estimate and have an attic specialist come to your home and explain what you have and what you need for free! | <urn:uuid:7dfede22-3b91-4f8a-8290-f3c12cafa459> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://amistee.com/duct-cleaning-mi/2012/03/13/fiberglass-attic-insulation-michigan-insulation-contractor/ | 2024-04-14T23:10:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.953869 | 161 |

If you`re a landlord or a tenant, chances are you`ve come across lease agreements. A lease agreement is a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions of the lease between a landlord and a tenant. It`s crucial to have a well-drafted lease agreement to avoid any misunderstandings or conflicts between the parties involved.
When it comes to lease agreements, there are several legal forms that landlords and tenants can use to ensure that their lease agreement is valid and enforceable. Here are some of the most common legal forms for lease agreements:
1. Residential Lease Agreement
A residential lease agreement is used when leasing a property for residential purposes. It outlines the terms and conditions of the lease, including the rental amount, security deposit, lease term, and other important provisions.
2. Commercial Lease Agreement
A commercial lease agreement is used when leasing a property for commercial purposes, such as a store or an office. This type of lease agreement is more complex than a residential lease agreement because it often includes provisions related to zoning laws, insurance, and liability.
3. Month-to-Month Lease Agreement
A month-to-month lease agreement is a flexible option for landlords and tenants who want to avoid a long-term commitment. This type of lease agreement renews automatically each month until one of the parties decides to terminate it.
4. Lease Extension Agreement
A lease extension agreement is used when both the landlord and the tenant want to extend the lease term beyond the original agreement. This type of agreement includes the new lease term, rental rate, and any other provisions that need to be updated.
5. Sublease Agreement
A sublease agreement is used when a tenant wants to rent out part of the property to someone else. This type of agreement outlines the terms and conditions of the sublease, including the rental amount, lease term, and any restrictions on the subtenant`s use of the property.
In conclusion, having a well-drafted lease agreement is essential for both landlords and tenants. It`s crucial to use the right legal form for your lease agreement to ensure that it`s valid and enforceable. If you`re unsure which form to use, it`s always best to consult a legal professional. | <urn:uuid:a000e92f-1e73-42bc-b010-739d3d79d017> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://amspares.online/legal-forms-for-lease-agreements/ | 2024-04-14T23:48:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.93603 | 462 |
When the homeowner’s day job is New Arcade Game Dreamer-Upper, you know the basement design is gonna be goooood.
Remember that crazy arcade basement we were talking about a few months back? Yeah? Well, we’re stilllllll talking about it.
Yep, we’re back on the topic of THAT basement (see our previous blog post). Not because we’re obsessed. Ok, maybe a little. But now we have pics so you can fully appreciate that back bar in all its Pac-Man glory. Though it pains us to say this, basements sometimes get the shaft. Homeowners may have blitzed through their budgets doing up the kitchen (no judgement here). Or they’ve got a case of construction fatigue and just want to be D-O-N-E with decision making. So they’re content to default to the still nice, but fairly standard man-cave or kids’ play space. Not so here. This basement got its due and then some.
Enter The Arcade, with so many bells and whistles, it could practically be a rent-out party venue.
It’s part bar/hangout, part arcade-game art gallery. (Even part arcade-game hospital – there’s a repair shop hidden down there too.) A super-techy, thoughtfully considered ode to gaming, past and present, from a homeowner who has spent his entire career inventing, collecting, tinkering with and obsessing over arcade games.
The Back Bar Wall Of All Back Bar Walls.
We knew going in that there would be an arcade, but once we heard they wanted a pretty elaborate bar setup as well, we got to work and designed two. One with a motherboard-like design for the back wall, and one Pac-Man inspired, since – well – it doesn’t get any classic-er than that. He chose the Pac-Man route, but decided it wasn’t enough just having the back bar shelves placed to mimic the game graphics. He wanted them more arcade-like. As in backlit. Sounds simple enough, but ended up taking two designers, a commercial lighting specialist, the electricians, millwork contractor, AV specialist, GC and homeowner – eight of us(!) – to tame that beast. Here’s why.
The shelving needed to be cantilevered off the wall, and built with a cavity inside so the lighting would glow above and below the plexi-glass. It also need to be able to support the weight of the bottles and glassware. Once we mapped out where the shelves would go, we placed plywood on the stud wall, mounted metal peg brackets to the plywood and pulled the electrical wiring through the pegs. We pre-cut the drywall to match the Swiss cheese-ish peg layout. The spacing between the shelves was in 10-inch increments, and the homeowner literally got out the tape measure and double-checked them for precision. If they were even a teensy quarter-inch off, we re-cut them. Then we mounted the cutout drywall over the plywood, filled in the gaps with foam around the pegs and painted it. (Are you still with us?!) Next, we slid the shelves onto the pegs, each with a light source inside that we connected to the wiring. It took us a few tries to find the right type of plexi, so the light would glow, but you wouldn’t see spottiness. If it was too transparent, the wiring showed through – too opaque, and the lighting didn’t have enough glow. And the glow was critical. Third try was the proverbial charm, and the color and intensity of the light can be dialed up or down (backlight or shelves only), all via iPhone. Oh, and that sleek statue on back bar shelf that looks Oscar-esque? It’s an award for Terminator 2, Arcade Game of the Year. (Immmmpressive.)
Just as the back bar wall couldn’t be any ole back bar wall, neither could the ceiling be a plain ole ceiling. Drywall? Pfft. No. This ceiling called for a series of 12×12-inch 1,000-pixel video screens, together creating a massive 10×16-foot overhead screen, surrounded by twinkling starlights. The homeowners can control the video feed to show anything from a football game or video game graphics, to kinder/gentler, more ambient scenes, like puffy clouds slowly moving across the sky. The screen offers juuuust enough lighting to eliminate the need for additional ceiling fixtures.
Due to the complexity (and ultra-cool insanity) of this whole setup, we had to have the furniture and arcade layout completely resolved in the earliest phase of the project – before pouring the concrete(!) – which is not the typical order of events. But then again, there was nothing typical about this whole gaming wonderland situation. So work ahead we did, making sure all the electrical was perfectly placed and pulled through for the arcade games and entertainment systems before they laid the concrete heated floors since we couldn’t drill into them after the fact without messing up the heating elements. Then once the floor was poured, we installed carpet tiles to give the space a pixelated feel, mostly gray, accented with core gaming colors like red, green and blue. We even tucked LED strip lighting behind the baseboards around the entire perimeter for additional subtle floor-level lighting.
For the TV/gaming stations, we devised a reverse sectional (a Designstorms first!), with each of side of the sofa angled to face a different TV screen, so groups can game simultaneously. There’s a console table behind the sectional, with bar stools and popup outlets so additional gamers can join in on the big-screen action, or express their strong, independent spirit and play something else on a totally different device.
Even the TV built-ins got the arcade treatment, with video game marquees from the homeowner’s enviable collection displayed on the lit shelves, along with a handful of board games that are actually based on arcade and video games. (For real. Who knew such things existed?) We also selected some other pinball signs to display in the hallways, framed and pegged an inch out from the wall to accommodate the back lighting (another design first for us).
Arcade style was our story and we were sticking to it – which meant, yes, even the bathroom.
The ask? A shower wall graphic of the Space Invaders opening up the space/time continuum and bursting into the shower. Right. Ok. Let’s just say our graphic designer clocked some serious quality time with a bazillion 1×1-inch tiles onscreen (go Josh!) to get it exactly right. An Atari purist at heart, the homeowner insisted that it be legit, and legit it was. So much so that the tile installer stared at us for a second before laughing hysterically for a full minute when he saw the pixel art pattern he had to replicate with actual tiles. He was able to finally get a grip and breathe again once we told him we’d done the tedious part and actually had the pieces pre-laid out. All’s well that ends…with Space Invaders in the shower. That’s our new motto.
Basement Bathroom – Space Invaders Takeover
We shot the exterior as well, since it’s pretty sweet too.
If you were on the Infant Welfare Society Housewalk back in May, you’ll remember the landscaping was, um, let’s call it “still a work in progress” (read: mostly mud). Our friend Paul Couture (Couture Landscape Construction) has now worked his tree-and-shrubbery magic, so we grabbed a few shots.
The Jamie Simoneit / Z + O architecture rocks a classic New England Coastal vibe, with real-deal deets like copper gutters, wood shakes, arbor over the front patio and bluestone porches. If you’re digging that deep blue-gray, just know it took more than a few custom mixes to get the richness right. But we got there. And it’s gorgeous.
Woods in back. Lake Ellyn in front. It’s a standout beauty with a blend-in traditional-ness. Clever disguise for that basement arcade, huh? We’re talkin’ goooood. Like CIA-good. You’d drive right by and never know. Except now you do.
Thanks for reading!

During the film festival in Venice Film i Väst Analysis introduces av unique, pan-European study, All that is solid melts into air – Public Film Funding at a Crossroads II. It is presented at a seminar as a part of Venice Production Bridge by Tomas Eskilsson, head of Film i Väst Analysis.
Public Film and Audiovisual Policies and Funding at a Crossroads is a research project in three parts that explores and discuss the future purpose and relevance of film and audiovisual funding. Last year’s much talked about and debated report Public Film Funding at a Crossroads is now followed up with All that is solid melts into air – Public Film Funding at a Crossroads II.
In the second report, we go head-to-head with the historical, current and future aims of film and audiovisual policy and funding. The ecosystem has been transformed, the sector has undergone a paradigm shift driven by digitalisation and globalisation. The power centers of the traditional financing system have been challenged by new global players as well as by growing and more favorable incentive systems in Europe and the rest of the world.
The majority of Europe’s citizens have access to a wider range of films and dramas than ever before – a range that one can enjoy when you want, how one want and where one want. What does this mean for the future position of cinema/movie theatres in politics and in the sector as such.
Market failures, market shortages, competitiveness and cultural diversity have been core elements in film and audiovisual policies and practices. How should they be understood in a much different context? How should the scope for audiovisual policies be understood, how many formats and expressions should be included in different funding programs and who can be a beneficiary? What should be prioritised? Overproduction or not? How should Europe, and the sector handle the massive amount of cinema films that reaches an ever-smaller audience in cinemas?
Is it reasonable for there to be two completely different directly or indirectly funded public funding systems in Europe that operate with fundamentally different objectives and principles? Is it possible and, if so how to create a common logic?
The report’s recommendations underline the importance of remembering the origins of film and audiovisual policy and putting the citizens/audience in focus. Other core virtues reflected are the importance of coherence, flexibility and the dare to prioritise.
The reports are based on in-depth interviews with over 1,000 key persons in Europe’s film and audiovisual sector along the entire value chain, but also on focus group meetings, workshops and close collaboration and dialogue with territorial experts. The study is pan-European.
In the final report we will reflect the answers and necessary strategies for the future. And reveal our suggestion for a new reformulated European platform for film and audiovisual policy and practice.

We meet a lot of people who are enjoying their vacations. When they find out about our travels, they ask a lot of questions. Europeans, Canadians and Australians ask if we’re on an extended break from work.
Americans, however, sometimes ask something different. They want to know if we’re retired.
I either look a lot older than my 46 years or Americans are getting used to seeing large wealth gaps, accepting the notion that lots of people retire young.
In a desperate attempt to find out which was true, I looked up the 2015 Allianz Global Wealth Report.

Data Driven marketing works.
But you don't have to take our word for it. The underlying principle of data driven marketing is that your data should speak for itself – as long as you have the tools and systems in place to listen for it.
Deciding which tools and systems to put in place does take a little work, of course. Therefore, before you start, it's good to know some basic background information on what data driven marketing is and why it generates business results. Here's how it works.
Data driven marketing is about new, hard data flowing into a not-so-new theoretical framework
When it comes to big-picture marketing theories, or any business theories for that matter, most decision-makers prefer sticking to what has been proven to work in the past. (Or they have the time and resources to wait around for a new theory to play out in the future. You probably don't fall into that category!)
Today, one of these well-respected marketing theories involves customer-centricity, in which organizations design their strategies around identifying and creating value for their best customers. The basic idea has been around since the 1970's, when marketers realized that their customers wouldn't always buy a product or service simply because it existed.
Customer-centricity isn't new, but over the last decade, the amount of available data on customers has exploded. This data can supercharge customer-centric marketing efforts. Enter data driven marketing. It's this combination of time-tested theory and newly available data that makes it so effective.
Now let's go into more detail on each of the elements that make up data driven marketing: the data, the driving, and the marketing.
The data: today's customers generate massive quantities of intent data
In the past, B2B customers researched potential purchases with a salesperson. Today, they do it all online. They read reviews, browse blog posts, attend webinars, and download whitepapers as they wind their digital way to an eventual sale. All of that online activity creates intent data signaling a future sale.
The existence of that intent data, of course, is what makes data-driven marketing possible. This level of information on prospect behavior has not existed at any previous point in the history of marketing. Imagine, for example, what a tremendous advantage it would have been for a 1990's marketer to know – every time – how often and for how long a prospect spoke to competitors' salesperson.
Now, you can capitalize on previously unimaginable advantages like that every day. That's because instead of using a phone to get information from a salesperson, prospects are using a computer to find that information on the Internet (and leaving a trail of data in the process).
The driving: making the data actionable
To capitalize on these advantages, though, all of this intent data has to be identified, curated, and made usable.
Marketers who get this process right will thrive as this powerful new form of Big Data continues to get Bigger. Marketers who don't will miss the opportunity.
The marketing: continuously improved customer-centricity
Once you do have the right data, you can act on it by adjusting your customer-centric strategies and campaigns around it. The data provides insight into what works (and what doesn't) for a given customer or set of customers, and you can respond accordingly.
For example, if intent data signals that one of your prospect companies is interested in a certain product of yours, you can prepare the mid-funnel differentiating content that you know will be most effective for this type of prospect and deliver it to them.
The online activity around that content will then signal whether it was valuable to the customer along the way to an eventual sale – or not. You can then tweak your content strategy based on the results, even after the initial sale as you look to deepen the customer relationship.
And there you have it: data driven marketing in a nutshell. We recommend you focus on the "driving" aspect of data driven marketing. That's where you will make a difference.
Big Data is a global megatrend taking place with or without you, and intent data is its most useful new manifestation for B2B marketers. How you drive a combination of the two concepts for your business, however, will play a key part in your success in the 21st century.

Two Antiguan and Barbudan nationals were recognized for their participation in the 2022 Harlingen Tall Ships Races at a ceremony held at the Antigua and Barbuda High Commission on Friday, 29th July. J-Maiah Louisor and T-Janica Thomas, both 21 years old, joined three other young sailors from the United Kingdom and Australia aboard a 55-foot yacht to sail from Harlingen in the Netherlands to Antwerp in Belgium.
The Tall Ships Races 2022 brought together an international fleet of tall and small ships which visited several European ports as they sailed across the North Sea. A tall ship is a large, traditionally rigged sailing vessel which are among the biggest rigged ships in the world at over 25 feet in length. The young Antiguan sailors were part of a crew of nine people including two young police cadets from the Merseyside Police Cadets UK in the United Kingdom – Sophia Brumskill and John Gregson – and one trainee from Australia, Georgia Lennard, who sailed aboard a 55-foot yacht the Cruise-in-Company leg of the races.
The idea to have these young people participate in the Tall Ships event was the brainchild of sailing enthusiasts who wanted to contribute to the development of sailing in the country. Charlotte Hooijdonk, Billy Gernertt and Daniel Holdsworth worked collectively to bring the idea to fruition. Charlotte, together with her husband Billy, currently run the West Indies Sail Heritage Foundation in Antigua and Barbuda. It provides a sail training programme for local youth free of cost and encourages them towards maritime careers by assisting them to receive the necessary maritime qualifications. Daniel first came to Antigua in 2017 with support from the Merseyside Police with Team Rubicon UK to deliver aid to The Caribbean in the aftermath of hurricane Maria. Having been introduced to the Merseyside Adventure Sailing Trust by a colleague, he thought it would be a great opportunity to have some local Antiguan and Barbudan youth participate in the Tall Ship Races to expose them to potential careers in the maritime industry.
After a careful selection process, J-Maiah and T-Janica were the two young sailors selected. To fund their participation, Daniel and Charlotte approached Sail Training International – a trust with the mission to bring international youth together for sailing – for funding which was supplied by the Sultan of Oman’s bursary. In addition, they also raised funding from various donors to include the Dutchy of Lancaster Benevolent Fund, the Chinese Sailing Association, the Liverpool Commonwealth Association, the Merseyside Adventure Sailing Trust, the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority UK and Europe and the Antigua and Barbuda High Commission in London. In total, over £10,000 was raised to support the travel and training expenses for their participation.
Despite having prior sailing experience, both J-maiah and T-Janica had never sailed on a vessel that large. Prior to departing for Harlingen, they participated in an intensive two-day training organized by the Merseyside Adventure Sailing Trust in Liverpool. The training exposed them to personal development and mentorship skills as well as using a personal logbook and sailing navigation. As part of the crew, they were required to participate on all aspects of the sail voyage to include steering the vessel, being part of the lookout, navigation, and even cooking meals for the other crew members. They sailed over 193 nautical miles across five days. They visited six harbours and crossed two seas and two rivers from Harlingen in The Netherlands to Antwerp in Belgium.
In an interview about his participation J-maiah said, “the sea was a bit flat from what I was accustomed to which is a bit rougher sea. But I am not really accustomed to a long voyage like this. It was a very good experience getting to navigate and just have fun in general.” He added that the project was very important because it helped to bring out certain values like teamwork and patience. It further helped with his self-confidence and comfortability around unfamiliar people. In recounting her experience T-Janica said, “I expected to be afraid a bit but I was not because everyone made sure that we were all comfortable; so it was pretty good honestly. I learned to work better as a team and not just rely on me doing it by myself.” Both said they would encourage other young people to join the Tall Ships Races because it was a fun and rewarding experience.
Charlotte and Daniel both highlighted the value of these programmes to the development of Antigua and Barbuda. Daniel said, “it is about the value of what it does for the development of the young person. It teaches them about communication and working as a team. It is very important to the Blue Economy of Antigua and Barbuda as you are surrounded by water. There are opportunities for pathways into employment for young people and that’s what led me to do this.” Charlotte added, “the problem with an island is visibility; so then this limits young people to thinking this is their world. So, by getting them off the island and showing them there is more out there they can start developing ideas about potential career paths and the necessary education to attain this.”
To recognize their extraordinary achievements, Her Excellency Karen-Mae Hill, hosted a reception in honour of all the young sailors at the Antiguan and Barbudan High Commission in London. Several dignitaries were in attendance to include Mr. Mark Blundell, the Lord Lieutenant of Merseyside who presented them with their Certificates of Achievement. The High Commissioner delivered a charge to the participants in which she congratulated them for their achievements and highlighted the immense pride that they have brought to their nation as a result.
She encouraged them to not limit themselves to this Tall Ships event but to continue to hone their talents and skill in the maritime sector as it is a lucrative career path. Further, she encouraged them to share their expertise and experiences with other young people who might be interested in careers in sailing. To that end, Her Excellency highlighted the importance of developing and fostering the young talent in various careers which are important to Antigua and Barbuda’s maritime sector as the country looks to develop its sustainable Blue Economy agenda.
There are plans to expand the Tall Ships programme to allow for more young people to train aboard these tall ships. There are also plans to have the Tall Ships visit Antigua and Barbuda soon. A visit is currently planned in December of this year by Seas Your Future – a youth development charity which works with young people to get them involved in sailing. They will be sailing a Tall Ship – the Pelican of London – to Antigua and Barbuda as part of a Caribbean wide visit.

TEEN Mom alum Jenelle Evans’ ex David Eason appeared angry while being served with a summons for a domestic violence protective order while living on the couple’s boat.
In photos and videos exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun, David, 35, was served on Tuesday by local sheriff’s deputies on two separate North Carolina cases filed against him by his estranged wife, Jenelle, 32.
In the video, David was flailing his arms and shrugging his shoulders as he spoke to the two armed deputies while they stand on the dock beside the boat he’s been living on for the past two months.
According to a source familiar with the cases, “David was served with Jenelle’s complaint for separation, as well as a complaint for a domestic violence protective order.”
The source said Jenelle had previously asked for an emergency protective order, but that was denied, so she is now asking for a hearing to be granted a civil no-contact order.
The source said Jenelle’s initial emergency request was denied in part since there is already an order of protection against David for Jace, so another one would “not be considered emergent.”
The source explained the basis of her complaint for this domestic violence restraining order is in part that Jenelle’s ex hasn’t complied with a no-contact order after allegedly attacking her 14-year-old son Jace in September- which David is facing felony charges on.
In addition, Jenelle accuses David of harassing behavior.
“The basis of it is David’s unwillingness to comply with certain provisions of not only that criminal, no contact order for Jace, but his harassing behavior.”
“It’s called a domestic violence protective order by statute, but it’s essentially a no-contact order, and the basis of hers is due to harassing behavior,” the insider added.
“There will be a hearing and both sides will have the opportunity to present evidence and arguments. A judge will then determine whether or not there are grounds, for granting the order.
As David was served at his boat on Tuesday around 12:30 pm, the two sheriff’s deputies appeared to explain what he was being served with after handing him the papers and flicking through their own copies.
Immediately after the incident, David hopped on TikTok and gave his take on what had transpired.
DAVID’S TIKTOK RANT
“Jenelle tried to file a restraining order,” David told followers on TikTok.
“She doesn’t want me to talk about her personal business. Well guess what, you made that decision for yourself,” he said sarcastically.
He also promised to fight her request in court.
“When we get to the courtroom, I’m bringing all the info, baby,” he added. “I’m bringing all the receipts, and you ain’t getting no refund.”
As The U.S. Sun previously reported, a source claimed that David was only supposed to be living on the boat for a couple of weeks while he and Jenelle figured out what would happen with her oldest son, Jace, after CPS dismissed the case against them
In mid-February, Jenelle regained custody of Jace after CPS had taken the teen following his allegations that David had strangled him.
David has a stay-away order against him for Jace after he was charged with felony battery by strangulation following an incident in September 2023.
Due to this, he and Jace could not reside under the same roof after Jenelle got custody back from CPS.
When the child welfare agency dismissed its case against the couple, Jenelle had to figure out where David would stay while things were sorted out.
According to the insider, that ultimately did not happen after Jenelle got jealous when David posted videos of himself drinking at a bar with a woman – reportedly the bartender – in the background.
Jenelle filed for separation on February 23.
JENELLE’S SEPARATION COMPLAINT
In Jenelle’s complaint for separation, the star brought up everything from David’s admitted murder of their pet dog Nugget in 2019 to his current felony charge for strangling her son.
Both incidents resulted in a CPS investigation and her losing custody of one or all of her kids temporarily.
In her filing, she also requested full custody of their daughter Ensley, 7.
Jenelle wants the courts to have David’s mental fitness evaluated before any visits with Ensley.
“It is in the best interest of the minor child that plaintiff be granted primary physical custody of the minor child and that defendant’s visitation and or custodial time be predicated on a mental health assessment to ensure his fitness and ability to care for the minor child,” Jenelle said in her complaint.
Jenelle said David’s “history of erratic behavior” and “substance abuse” was problematic for his parenting Ensley, she said in her complaint which was served to David on Tuesday.
Jenelle alleged in the explosive documents that David’s “excessive alcohol use and his short temper create a negative environment for the minor child, and as a family, plaintiff feels as though they have to walk on eggshells around defendant, as his mood swings are unpredictable and vary in their intensity.” | <urn:uuid:64e44f65-9b28-43ef-894a-f08fc33f7b3a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://apkcombat.com/moment-teen-mom-jenelle-evans-ex-david-eason-gets-angry-on-boat-as-cops-serve-him-domestic-violence-protective-order-vu-thuy | 2024-04-14T23:24:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.979025 | 1,145 |

One of the biggest advantages of Gorilla Glass VR is that it is much lighter than the standard version. This is important because virtual reality headsets are often quite heavy and bulky. The lighter weight of Gorilla Glass VR makes it much more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time.
Finally, Gorilla Glass VR is also designed to be more transparent than the standard version. This is important because virtual reality headsets need to be able to let in a lot of light in order to work properly. The more transparent Gorilla Glass VR is, the better the virtual reality experience will be.

A new batch of mock-up iPhones has surfaced, showing the size difference between the upcoming models at the same time as suggesting what the final versions will look like when they launch this fall.
In the few months ahead of the launch of a new range of iPhones, mock-ups and molds of the devices typically surface, providing a suggestion of how the latest batch of iPhones could appear at the time of announcement and release. The "iPhone 12" cycle is no exception, with another collection of mock-up handsets revealed on Twitter on Sunday.
Published by Sonny Dickson, the trio of "iPhone 12 dummies" are said to be in three different sizes, covering 5.4-inch, 6.1-inch, and 6.7-inch display measurements, lining up with rumors and other mold image releases. As shown in the photographs, as well as discussed by Dickson, the shots show the models as having a flat edge and a triple-camera set-up on the rear similar to other surfaced images.
An early rumor, the chassis is thought to revive design elements that first appeared in the iPhone 4, with flat edges and glass front and back covers. Earlier rumors suggested the metal frame would use a "more complex segmentation design, new trenching, and injection molding procedures" as part of its construction.
However, while the chassis is "promising," Dickson proposes the notches and cameras of the dummies "should not be taken 100%," indicating they may not be entirely accurate compared to what could be launched later in 2020. Some rumors point to the addition of a LiDAR sensor on the rear, though others claim it will be available only on the "iPhone 12 Pro Max" model.
The number of cameras to be included on the back are also up for debate, as it is possible Apple could continue to offer two on the non-Pro models and three for the Pro variants. This would mean the latest images of the smallest size depicting three cameras could be wrong.
It is unknown how Dickson acquired the images of the dummies, nor how accurate they truly are, even with his tempering of expectations for the camera. Many accessory producers create mockup versions of unreleased Apple products, taking advantage of alleged CAD leaks and rumors to create what could end up being released, to assist with the creation of future products. | <urn:uuid:d4dcff4b-6ff7-4d6d-bc12-d0870c972fec> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/06/21/new-iphone-12-dummies-highlight-flat-sides-of-2020-models | 2024-04-15T00:01:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.963132 | 483 |
