I know I am kind of late on this, I have had the flu for like 10 days it's been horrible. I think I went stir crazy at my house this past weekend. But I did get to finish the last Game of Thrones book so I am super stoked to see the show this seaon. Anyways back to the topic, I just wanted to do a quick recap of the best moments of the Saturday Night Live 40th reunion. It was 3 hours long, which honestly I can't remember any shows that have been that long on TV. Some of it was totally funny and other parts just felt really long and useless.
I have been a fan of SNL, I would have to say my whole life and really became a dedicated watcher as a teenager. In the days before DVR's, I remember being 14 and staying up what I thought was late to watch SNL. The audience was packed for the reunion with A-list celebrities like Michael Douglas, Steven Spielberg, Ed Norton, Bradley Cooper, Larry David, Paul Simon, Paul McCartney and the list goes on and on and many who performed or announced musical acts in between on the show. I love seeing celebrities laughing and enjoying themselves like normal people, am I the only person who feels like this?
Here are my top 12 best (and one worst) moments of the SNL 40th reunion in no particular order. And basically you can get the gist of the whole show in less than 3 hours.
1. Melissa McCarthy as Dan Foley, Chris Farley's character of the "guy down by the river."
2. The infamous Jeopardy game. This time Christopher Waltz, Justin Bieber, Sean Connery, Matthew McCounaghey and Burt Reynolds were the guests. My fave was definitely Jim Carrey love him still.
3. Kanye West performed upside down and then Sia appeared with a giant wig. Am I the only who loves both of them?
4. Emma Stone paying homage to Gilda Radner, the more I see Emma the more I love her.
5. The Californians skit had Taylor Swift, Kerry Washington and Betty White and Bradley Cooper finished it off perfectly.
6. Ed Norton as Stefan lol.
7. Audience Q&A with Jerry Seinfeld.
8. Fred Armisen and Kristin Wiig doing their funky performance as Garth and Kat, their songs that have no rhythm or meaning and are pretty hilarious.
9. Seeing the SNL Audition tapes, I love seeing those and seriously how young did Jimmy Fallon look?!
10. Will Ferrell and Anna Gastyer doing their musical act The Culps, I think that was one of my fave skits.
11. Last ,but not least WAYNE's WORLD! Party on my friends.
12. The worst had to be Eddie Murphy back on stage at SNL for only like two seconds. It was weird and he should have done a funny skit or something for old times sake.
Did you guys watch and if so what did you think? What is your fave SNL skit or comedian?
(This is my fave)

An 11-year-old in California, United States, was sitting in her sister's bedroom when suddenly her Apple iPhone 6 caught fire and exploded!
Kayla Ramos recently told local news channel 23ABC, "I was sitting down, and I had my phone in my hand and then I saw sparks flying everywhere and I just threw it on a blanket. I was right here on the bed and the phone managed to burn through the blanket and make these holes".
A day after the iPhone 6s caught fire, the child's mother got in touch with Apple about the issue. She was asked to send pictures and ship the damaged unit to the retailer. "This could have been my child. My child could have been caught on fire and she could have been hurt more and I am glad she's ok," Kayla Ramos' mother told the news channel.
Notably, though, this is an isolated event and can not be seen as an issue with the iPhone series. On Apple support, the company has mentioned that usage of any unauthorised Apple product, like charging cables, or unauthorised repairs and external damage to a phone could all cause a phone to catch fire.
Ramos' mother reveals that Apple is currently investigating what caused the smartphone to catch fire and explode. Meanwhile, they have given her a new phone. "I will no longer sleep with it next to me. I know we charge it a lot maybe that caused it, maybe it overheated," she said. Apple, however, says that there can be a few factors that could cause a phone to overheat.

A township church said its "Black Lives Matter" banner was stolen earlier this week ahead of a scheduled community discussion to address the topic.
The banner, which hung at Unitarian Universal Church, was reported missing on Tuesday. In a Facebook post, the church said the banner that hung for three weeks near Kings Highway had the cords supporting it cut.
"We had a couple of non-positive interactions with folks," Rev. Christian Schmidt said Thursday. "I was happy to see people interacting, honestly."
In photos from Feb. 9, cut cords are seen wrapped around the wooden frame that supported the orange and black banner which read, "Black Lives Matter. Join the Discussion Here."
The banner was hung ahead of a Feb. 25 community discussion titled "Black Lives Matter in South Jersey." That event, to be held at 7 p.m. at the church along Kings Highway, is open the public.
"Everyone's invited," Schmidt said. "The banner says, 'Join the Discussion Here.'"
The church shared the initial hanging of the banner in a Jan. 17 Facebook post.
"Excuse me, but don't ALL lives matter," wrote one user, to which the church responded, "Yes, but all lives are not being threatened equally."

Japan invents new technology to capture and store CO2
Carbon recycling is the key to Japan's innovative path to carbon neutrality.
Carbon dioxide is the main cause of global warming. At the Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage Center in Tomakomai, Japan shows how CO2 can be captured and stored. Experts are confident that technology can play a key role in achieving the goal of zero CO2 net emissions by 2050.
Capture and storage of CO2
"CCS is an acronym for Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage. It is a technology that aims to prevent global warming by capturing the CO2 generated in industrial activities and CO2 storage underground," said Nakajima Toshiaki, president of Japan CCS.
The CO2 source is a gas hub at a Tomakomai refinery (Idemitsu Kosan Hokkaido Refinery). The process starts sending a gas containing carbon dioxide to a capture facility.
"We receive a maximum of 25 tons of CO2 per hour, equivalent to 600 tons per day. Our goal was to process 100,000 tons in a year. We reached the 300 thousand tons two years ago," said Yamagishi Kazuyuki, public relations manager at the Tomakomai Center for Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS).
CO2 storage underground
When the gas containing CO2 reaches the center, there is a process that separates the CO2 from the gas. This CO2 is captured by chemical absorption inside three towers. The next step is to store CO2.
"The captured CO2 is sent to the entrance of this well, after having applied a certain pressure. Through this tube, the CO2 is sent to the geological layers below the bottom of the sea", explained Yamagishi Kazuyuiki, public relations manager of the CCS center.
The two injection wells are drilled towards offshore submarine reservoirs. One of the wells reached a layer of sandstone, situated between 1,000 and 1200 meters deep. The other reached a volcanic layer situated between 2400 to 3000 meters deep.
Japan believes that technology will become a key approach to reducing the impact of global warming after the implementation phase.
"The International Energy Agency estimates that by 2050 it will be necessary to know how to store more than 7 billion tons of CO2 per year with CCS systems to achieve zero net value. This would allow to use fossil fuels cleanerly, or capture CO2 directly from the atmosphere and store it underground," said Nakajima Toshiaki, president of Japan CCS.
Concrete made from CO2
In addition to the capture and storage of CO2 on the ground, Japan found a way to use CO2 to produce a type of concrete with negative carbon emissions, CO2-SUICOM.
" The conventional concrete emits approximately 288 kilograms of CO2 per cubic meter during production, but the CO2-SUICOM reaches the 18-pound negative", explained Watanabe Kenzo, Managing Director of the Materials Department of the Kajima Technical Research Institute.
It is the first type of negative concrete at the level of carbon emissions, there is an absorption of CO2 during the cure. The secret of the process is the addition of a special material, a chemical by-product, before the concrete comes into contact with CO2.
"We use CO2 gas instead of water for the CO2-SUICOM healing process. CO2 is immobilized when contacting the concrete while still hardening. We added a special mix "Y C2S", which we call magic powder, because it solidifies a large amount of CO2. The more we produce this magical concrete, the more we reduce the CO2 of the atmosphere," added Watanabe Kenzo.
The CO2-SUICOM concrete has been used in various types of construction projects as prefabricated material, namely in the means of a road near the town of Masuda, in Shimane province. Researchers expect technology to be applied to more materials in the future so as to pave the way for less polluting construction processes.

Keeping Dogs Safe In The Heat
Keeping your dog safe in the heat is important. Many dogs suffer from heatstroke when the outdoor temperature reaches at least 100 degrees Fahrenheit. When first exposing a dog to the hot sun, keep them submerged in cool water. Take breaks regularly so your pup can drink plenty of water and cool off. And finally, never leave them in a car!
How Can I Protect My Dog In The Heat?
Summertime weather is HOT, and your dog is bound to be out there in the blazing sun! Heatstroke is a very serious problem for canines, and can quickly lead to death if not treated properly. Here are some tips to keep your dog safe during the heat:
Provide plenty of fresh water and sports drinks – even on long walks, animals dehydrate quickly under warm weather conditions.
Make sure your dog stays cool by providing plenty of shade, using a fan, or placing them in an air-conditioned room whenever possible.
If your dog seems overheated, take them to a cool place indoors and loosen their collar so they can pant more easily. If they become unconscious or lethargic, seek veterinary help immediately.
Can My Dogs Paws Burn In The Heat?
Dogs' paws can get very hot in the heat, but it's not dangerous for them. The paw pads are thick and well insulated, so they don't get as hot as other parts of their bodies. However, if your dog is panting or licking its paw excessively, it may be indicating that it's getting too warm. If you think your dog is having a problem, contact a veterinarian.
How Much Water Does A Dog Need In The Summer?
Water requirements for dogs during the summer vary depending on their size, exercise level, and climate. Larger dogs need more water than smaller ones, and those who enjoy more vigorous activity will need even more. In most climates, a dog needs around 1 gallon of water per day, but this will vary depending on the humidity and heat in the area.
In hot climates, like Las Vegas or Phoenix, a dog may require up to 2 gallons of water per day. During the summer months in areas like San Francisco or Los Angeles where there is lots of rainfall, a dog may only need 1 cup of water per day. It is important to check with your veterinarian to make sure your dog's water requirements are met during the summer.

Black cats are found commonly in all places, while their larger cousins, black panthers, are not too rare either. Until a few weeks ago, however, there was no documented evidence of a black lynx. Lynxes are a type of wild cat found in southern Canada. Now, a small grainy clip and pictures of a black lynx have surfaced online. The photos and videos were first captured in Yukon in 2020.
However, the findings have only now become public after being published by Thomas S Jung, a senior wildlife biologist at the University of Alberta, in a scientific journal named Mammalia earlier this year. Jung had filmed the dark-coloured lynx on his phone camera from a distance of about 50 metres, which explains the poor quality of the images. He noted that the wild cat seemed at ease with humans, but escaped after hearing a dog's bark.
On Wednesday, the black lynx's photos were shared online by a Twitter user who goes by the name Jim Rose Circus (@jimrosecircus1).
Black Canada lynx, caught on camera for the first time. Before this there were just reports, but no proof that they existed. pic.twitter.com/JZezirCJms
— jim rose circus (@jimrosecircus1) November 23, 2022
The images were captioned, "Black Canada lynx, caught on camera for the first time. Before this, there were just reports, but no proof that they existed." The post has gathered over 17,000 likes.
As per Earth Touch News Network, the authenticity of the black lynx spotted by Jung was confirmed by other lynx experts who are of the opinion that the animal's unusual colour is caused by melanism. Melanism is a genetic condition in which melanin, a dark pigment in the skin, gets produced in excess in an animal's fur or skin.

Kodagu is an administrative district in Karnataka, India. Before 1956 it was an administratively separate Coorg State, at which point it was merged into an enlarged Mysore State. It occupies an area of 4,102 square kilometres (1,584 sq mi) in the Western Ghats of southwestern Karnataka. In 2001 its population was 548,561, 13.74% of which resided in the district's urban centres, making it the least populous of the 30 districts in Karnataka.
The district is bordered by Dakshina Kannada district to the northwest, Kasargod district of Kerala to the west, Hassan district to the north, Mysore district to the east, Kannur district of Kerala to the southwest, and the Wayanad district of Kerala to the south. Agriculture is the most important factor that upholds the economy of Kodagu and the main crops cultivated in this region are rice and coffee. Coorg is rich in natural resources which included timber and spices. Madikeri (English: Mercara) is the headquarters of Kodagu
Kodagu is known for its coffee and its people. The people include indigenous (Kodavas) and other ethnic groups (Arebashe Gowdas and Kodava subgroups). The chief languages presently spoken in Kodagu are Kodava, Are Bhashe, Tulu and Malayalam. Kodagu is home to the native speakers of the Kodava language.
The Kodavas were the earliest inhabitants and agriculturists in Kodagu, having lived there for centuries. Being a warrior community as well, they carried arms during times of war and had their own chieftains. The Haleri dynasty, an offshoot of the Keladi Nayakas, ruled Kodagu between 1600 and 1834. Later the British ruled Kodagu from 1834, after the Coorg War, until India's independence in 1947. A separate state (called Coorg State) until then, in 1956 Kodagu was merged with the Mysore State (now Karnataka)
Coorg in British India: In 1834, the East India Company annexed Kodagu into British India, after deposing Chikka Virarajendra of the Kodagu kingdom, as 'Coorg'. The people accepted British rule peacefully. British rule led to the establishment of educational institutions, introduction of scientific coffee cultivation, better administration and improvement of the economy.
The Kodavas are the earliest inhabitants of Kodagu. Kodava oral traditions are rich, some of the traditional folk songs have been compiled into the Pattole Palome . The Kodavas revere ancestors, arms and worship a number of deities, besides the River Kaveri, some of them being, Igguthappa, Bhagwathi, Muthappa, Mahadeva, Bhadrakali, Subramani and Ayyappa. Very similar to the Kodavas in religion, culture and language are the Kodava Peggade (Kodagu Heggade), the Amma Kodava, the Airi (artisans), the Meda (craftsmen and drummers) and the Kembatti (labourers).
The Kodava language speakers, other than the Kodavas, include the Kodava Heggade (cultivators of Malabari origin), the Amma Kodava (a mixed race), the Airi (smiths and carpenters), the Thatta (jewellers), some of the Male-Kudiya, the Kodagu Kembatti, the Maringi, the Kapala (of Siddi origin), the Meda (basket and mat weavers and drummers), the Kanya, the Banna, the Malaya (astrologers of Malayala origin), the Kodagu Golla (cowherds of Mysorean origin), the Kodagu Ganiga (oil-makers), the Kolla, the Kavadi, the Koleya, the Koyava and others.
Traditional costume: Kodavas wear the traditional Kodava costume. Men wear kupyas (knee-length half-sleeved coats) over a full-sleeved white shirt. The chale, a maroon and gold sash, is tied at the waist and an ornately carved silver dagger known as a peechekathi is tucked into it. The odikathi is yet another knife that is tucked into the chale at the back. A chain with a minuscule gun and a dagger hanging onto it gives the wearer a martial look. The saris worn by women are pleated at the back and the pallu fixed with a brooch is also wrapped in a unique way. They wear either a full-sleeved or three-quarter-sleeved blouse and cover their heads with a scarf. A traditional gold beaded necklace (jomalae) and a gem pendant (kokkethathi) is worn by Kodavas.

Home › Forums › Back End › ACF – display image on selection
I have created a custom field (activity_rating) using ACF with a selection 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (it's to show activity rating of holidays – 1 being very east and 5 being very difficult).
If, for example, 1 is selected I would like to display a corresponding image (e.g. image showing 1 out of 5 stars – i.e. very easy). I'm guessing I can just repeat the code for activity levels 2-5 and associated images- but with different image urls
Any ideas very very much appreciated.
My PHP isn't that great, so take this with a grain of salt: but I would think a simple elseif flow could work. I first thought of a switch, but not sure how each case would line up with each rating.
$rating = get_field('activity_rating);
if ($rating == 1):
$img_url = 'bloginfo("template_directory_uri()/img/1.jpg")';
elseif ($rating == 2):
$img_url = 'bloginfo("template_directory_uri()/img/2.jpg")';
Or, rather than passing the entire image url to $img_url, you could just do: $img_url = "img/rating-1.jpg";, but that depends on what your markup is like.
$img_url = "img/rating-1.jpg";

The latest on DACA: Despite Trump proclamations, Flake says a deal isn't dead
Sen. Jeff Flake isn't ready to give up on a deal to let undocumented "dreamers" stay in the country permanently despite President Donald Trump's Easter weekend proclamations that "DACA is dead" while blaming Democrats for its demise.
"There are plenty of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who stand ready to work with the administration on legislation to protect DACA kids who call America home," Flake tweeted Sunday. "Let's do it."
In a separate Monday tweet, Flake, an Arizona Republican who is not seeking re-election this year, also attacked Trump's claim that Democrats don't support border security.
"To say that 'Democrats want no borders' is inaccurate. Every senate Democrat voted for bipartisan immigration legislation in 2013 that included $40+ billion for border infrastructure, personnel & technology. Both sides of the aisle want reform. Let's do it," Flake tweeted.
Flake is one of the biggest Republican supporters of a DACA deal in Congress. He also is also a major Trump critic, fueling speculation that he is preparing to run for president in 2020 after he finishes his single term in the Senate.
Flake has been trying to get the Senate to pass a stopgap "three-for-three" DACA bill — a three-year extension of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in exchange for three years of funding for Trump's border wall — until Congress passes legislation that permanently addresses the legal status of undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children.
- A 2,000-mile search for answers
- Border agents, and the risks at the edge of the line
- A moving border, and the history of a difficult boundary
Flake devised the stopgap "three-for-three" proposal after Trump in February torpedoed bipartisan attempts in Congress to pass DACA legislation by insisting that besides billions of dollars for border security funding the bill include major cuts to legal immigration opposed by a majority of Democrats and many Republicans.
On Sunday, Trump posted a barrage of tweets proclaiming that a DACA deal was dead and blaming Democrats for derailing legislation in Congress that would have created a way for undocumented immigrants temporary protected from deportation under the Obama-era DACA program to permanently gain legal status.
"DACA is dead because the Democrats didn't care or act, and now everyone wants to get onto the DACA bandwagon," Trump said in one tweet. "No longer works. Must build Wall and secure our borders with proper Border legislation. Democrats want No Borders, hence drugs and crime!"
Trump was responding to news reports that hundreds of undocumented immigrants from violence-racked Central America traveling unfettered in a caravan through Mexico are headed for the U.S. border hoping to enter the country and ask for asylum.
"Border Patrol Agents are not allowed to properly do their job at the Border because of ridiculous liberal (Democrat) laws like Catch & Release," the president said in another tweet. "Getting more dangerous. 'Caravans' coming. Republicans must go to Nuclear Option to pass tough laws NOW. NO MORE DACA DEAL!"
Trump technically ended the DACA program March 5. But the approximately 690,000 undocumented immigrants now in the DACA program are being allowed to retain their temporary deportation protections and work permits and apply for two-year renewals until lawsuits challenging the way Trump ended DACA are resolved in the courts.
White House officials told reporters on Monday following Trump's tweets that a new push on immigration is coming, similar to Trump's original plan that failed to gain traction in the Senate.
Advocates say they have not given up hope on a DACA deal, but acknowledge that politically it will be difficult for Congress to pass a bill unless Trump is willing to compromise, said Karina Ruiz, president of the Arizona Dream Act Coalition who also is a DACA recipient.
Advocates are now focused on electing new members to Congress who support passing immigration legislation that allows dreamers to remain permanently without caving in to Trump's demands that a DACA deal include border wall funding and legal immigration cuts, she said.
"Eighty percent of the nation supports a permanent solution for DACA recipients and immigrant youth," she said. "At the end of the day we are not in a dictatorship and the president needs to hear what the American people want and if the current Congress ... is not able to get the job done, we are going to send a message in November that we need some change."

Online proctoring has transitioned from a good-to-have to an essential part of the education spectrum. Online courses must synchronize with intelligent online proctoring solutions to maintain and enhance academic credibility. On the other hand, offline systems with BYOD ( bring your own device) approach for exams also should invest in intelligent proctoring software to defeat advanced cheating tricks.
Here are some valuable tips to help you choose the best remote proctoring solutions.
• Scalability and Flexibility
It is essential to find an online proctoring solution that can cater to any number of students. For instance, online proctoring solutions such as Proctortrack can serve to proctor assistance to a small and large groups of students simultaneously. The technical capability of the software should be able to take up many students without crashing down.
• Privacy Approach
Any online proctoring software you may wish to use should have the highest regard for the institute's and students' data security. For apparent reasons, proctoring software will need access to the inside of the system. Still, it should come with the assurance that the data retrieved is going to be used for academic and invigilation analysis purposes only. Online proctoring software veterans like Proctortrack knows this full well and operate within the periphery of critical laws like FERPA( Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) and SOPIPA ( Student Online Personal Information Protection Act).
• Accessibility Across Devices
There may be different devices at work for online exam purposes. Compatibility with all these devices and operating systems is an essential feature of an excellent online proctoring solution. Such technical flexibility will help the institutes take care of the remote proctoring solutions seamlessly during exams.
• Costing and Pricing
Ideal online proctoring solutions should also come with economic advantages, primarily when the exams are on a larger scale. Institutes should choose an online proctoring partner that has a better financial proposition. As institutes have already deployed LMSs and associated ancillary IT infrastructure, the online proctoring system should not become a burden. Proctortrack's proctoring platform has been mindful of its pricing structure, keeping in mind the financial situation of institutes and individual administrators. Hence, it has become a partner of choice for many leading institutes.
• Features
The online proctoring solution should be comprehensive in all aspects. The application's interface or operation should be user-friendly, but the robustness has to be uncompromisable. Another consideration is that the software must have flawless compatibility with all major operating systems. This will help the software operate efficiently along with all its features. From primary attributes like biometric identity verification to advanced ones like the capability to detect virtual machines needs to be in place. All leading proctoring software have automated virtual proctoring solutions and hybrid systems to keep human proctors in a loop for extra security.
• Integration
The best proctoring software has the technical capability to integrate with the existing LMS of any institution. The security can be top-notch if the examination process is under the seamless amalgamation of the LMS and the online proctoring software. It also means that students will have less hassle of installing and configuring a new application or software primarily for the exam day.
• Customer Support
Several institutes miss out on this crucial checkpoint with uninterrupted client support by the proctoring solution provider. Solid proctoring software providers like Proctortrack have award-winning client support mechanisms. Therefore, they ensure that no student or instructor is struggling in the middle of an exam without enough technical support.

Drew Carey
Balance Number 7
Drew Carey is an American actor, comedian, sports executive, and game show host, best known for his own sitcom, The Drew Carey Show, and for serving as host of the American version of the British improv comedy show Whose Line Is It Anyway?.
He was born on Friday May 23rd 1958, in Cleveland, Ohio, United States.
Drew Carey retreats into some safe haven within himself and hopes he will not have to deal with the issue at hand. Yet, the clarity and analytical abilities of his mind are sufficient to provide Drew with insight into the problem, and a clear path to its solution.
Carey has to work at confronting himself and the issues he faces unemotionally and calmly. He can be engulfed in the emotional aspects of the issue, which clouds his mind and prevents him from using his clarity to find an answer.
Once Drew Carey gets past the emotion he will find an answer.

Mr. George Kofi Owusu Peprah is a music minister of the Gospel of Jesus, composer, music director, and an instrumentalist from Ghana. He was born to Mr. and Mrs. Owusu Mensah. Minister Kofi is the third of five children. He attended Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). He was a bass guitarist at the University. At the time, he realized that many students who played bass guitar were than him. As he was determined to be useful in the scheme of affairs nonetheless, he opted to be a singer and in a small while became a music director for the University's mass choir in 2014, this certainly was his best decision and today, he is doing great in the Gospel music industry. With a firm belief that his father, Rev. George Owusu Mensah's direction and coaching have had positive influences on his flourishing music ministry, he did a rendition of his father's song, MATWEN titled, The 'Father in his honor'.
Since then, he has come out with other songs such as Amen, Big God, Yesu Nyame Ba, Nyametease, No other God, and lots of worship medleys. Despite the growing popularity of his works in the last years including Big God, he failed to secure a nomination at the year's Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA). Speaking about the development, Kofi said even though he would have loved to be part of the year's awards, he was not bothered about not getting nominations." My works are proof of what I did last year. I released three songs in the midst of the pandemic and they are still doing well. Maybe, the organizers had their criteria but whatever it is, I'm excited to know my songs are positively affecting lives he stated.
He is married to Mrs. Barbara Ama Asantewaa Mensah, a fashion designer, and they're blessed with a daughter, Diella Psalm. At present, he is a backing Vocalist for Joe Mettle Ministries and also the Music Director of the International Central Gospel Church ( Evangel Temple) located at New Dawhenya.
He has an upcoming concert on the 22nd Of May live at the National Theatre dubbed, "The Father's Gift". Ministering live will be the Evergreen Amy Newman, Efe Grace, Luigi Macclean, Niiella, the KING himself, and many other amazing ministers. Tickets are going out for 60 ghc regular, 150 ghc vip, also you can buy them online https://tickets.ipaygh. com/kofiowusupeprah or dial 7257000# to buy on all networks.
Make it a point not to miss out.

Jonny Bairstow ruled out of England's first Test with Sri Lanka after injuring his ankle playing football… with Jos Buttler or Ben Foakes to keep wicket
- Jonny Bairstow will miss the first Test between England and Sri Lanka in Galle
- Wicketkeeper hasn't fully recovered from ligament damage in his right ankle
- Bairstow injured himself while playing football during training session
- Jos Buttler will play in the team anyway, but could take the gloves on Tuesday
- However, Ben Foakes could be wicketkeeper to leave Buttler free to bat
England coach Trevor Bayliss has confirmed Jonny Bairstow will miss Tuesday's first Test against Sri Lanka but remains unsure who will replace him as wicketkeeper.
Bairstow suffered ligament damage in his right ankle playing football during the one-day leg of the tour and despite making good progress he will not be be ready for Galle.
Jos Buttler will play regardless and could take the over behind the stumps but there is also a temptation to give a debut to Ben Foakes, rated as the best worker on the county circuit.
Jonny Bairstow will miss England's first Test with Sri Lanka because of an ankle injury
The wicketkeeper injured his ankle playing football during a training session on October 19
Bairstow is back in training with England but won't be fit enough for the first Test in Galle
England train on Sunday in Galle ahead of the start of the first Test on Tuesday
In interviews with Test Match Special and talkSPORT, Bayliss said: 'Jonny is not available for this Test match.
'He has come on a long way in the last week or so but with another winter tour and a big summer we didn't necessarily want to risk it.'
Buttler admitted last week he was unhappy with his own glovework when he kept during the one-day series, raising Foakes' hopes.
Jos Buttler, seen here keeping wicket in a warm-up match last week, could take the gloves
Ben Foakes, who also gained some practice last week, is another possibility in the role
First Test – Galle
November 6-10
Second Test – Pallekele
November 14-18
Third Test – Colombo
November 23-27
Both players went through training drills on the outfield after net practice and it appears a final verdict will have to wait.
'They're both still very much in our thinking and that will probably come down to the combination we want to play,' said Bayliss.
'Definitely one of them will be keeping but how we structure the batting order and what combination of bowlers we put in to the team could determine who eventually gets the gloves.'

Amud Cave is located in Nahal Amud; close to the rock pillar after which the stream is named. The cave was excavated by a Japanese delegation in 1961 and 1964. The excavations were resumed in 1990 by a joint Israeli-American team that included archaeologists and anthropologists. Two main strata have been identified at the site: one begins around 3000 BCE; characterized by numerous potsherds; stone vessels, and rubbish pits. And the other strata from the Middle Paleolithic period date back to about 55,000–68,000 years before our time. Dating to the Middle Paleolithic period.
Amud Cave: Archaeological Finds
But the most important find from this site is Amud 1. In other words, a skeleton was discovered in a cave in 1961. The skeleton is found in the later strata of the Middle Paleolithic period. The skeleton was identified as a Neanderthal male adult male. Its height was 1.7 meters, and its brain box volume was 1,750 cc. The skeleton lay in an articulation lying on its left side in a contracted position. The skeleton was dated to the end of the Middle Paleolithic period, about 50,000 – 60,000 years before our time.
Near Amud cave, there is another called the Skull Cave; Flinders Travelville-Peter carried out the first prehistoric excavation in Israel in 1925. This excavation uncovered the first ancient human skull found in the entire Middle East and was formerly known as the "Galilean Man." This person probably belongs to the Ashlo-Yibrod culture from the Lower Paleolithic period. Later remains from the Late Paleolithic period and the Epipaleolithic period, was discovered in the nearby Amira Cave. Other caves excavated are the Pillar Cave and the Shuvach Cave (north of the pillar). Remains from the Middle Paleolithic period, belonging to the Mousterian culture, were found in these caves. On my private tours of the Galilee region, I take my guests to see the famous cave.

- SEC Chair Gary Gensler still upholds that regulation in the "highly speculative" crypto industry is paramount.
- Ethereum co-founder and Polkadot CEO Gavin Wood agrees, saying regulation is "a good thing."
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler, commented on regulatory action in the crypto industry on Sept. 21. Speaking in a Washington Post webinar, he explained that most cryptocurrencies are securities, and therefore, under the SEC jurisdiction. Cryptocurrency exchanges and lending platforms list thousands of tokens. Most of these are likely "securities, investment contracts, or notes, or others that fit the definition of security," he said.
Additionally, these digital asset service platforms have the option of registering with the SEC but must opt-out.
Those platforms should come in, they should figure out how to register, but not many have.
Gensler predicts that the SEC's enforcement cases will only increase and "a lot of people are going to get hurt."
Gensler also likened the mushrooming of crypto tokens to the US wild-cat banking era that took place between 1836-1865. At the time, the country had no national currency, and banks were allowed to issue their currency. States readily granted banking charters and applied little oversight, if any, thus known as "the Free Banking Era." Scams and bank closures surged, leaving people with worthless money.
Public money has a certain place around the globe, private monies usually don't last that long, so I don't think there's long term viability for five or six thousand private forms of money, history tells us otherwise so in the meantime I think it's worth it to have an investor protection regime placed around this.
Gensler on crypto regulation
Gensler, again, reiterated his support for technology and innovation. The emerging crypto sector pushed global evolution and adaption to keep up with developments, he said.
Nevertheless, the former blockchain professor feels the crypto industry is becoming too large in a negative way. Cryptocurrencies are "highly speculative" and stablecoins are "poker chips" for the $1.8 trillion market cap crypto-casino.
Before the events of the wild-cat banking era repeat, Gensler would like the SEC to step in. The commission's oversight would improve investor and consumer protection, tax compliance, anti-money laundering, and financial stability for digital asset markets.
On a brighter side
On the same day, Gavin Wood, co-founder, and creator of Polkadot and Kusama discussed the upside of regulatory action. Regulation is 'a a good thing' for the crypto industry, Wood said in a CoinDesk interview during Missouri's mainnet conference for the crypto industry.

No spam, no lies, only insights. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Blockchain technology enables folks to "regain that personal sovereignty" lost in the internet age, he said. However, Wood thinks regulation will weed out projects and platforms that claim to be decentralized but are largely otherwise. Oversight would also force these projects to do away with centralized elements and become truly decentralized.
"As long as the regulations protect technologists, I think this is, broadly speaking, a good thing," the computer scientist said.

Keynote Speakers & Panelists
Dave Ward
The proliferation of connected devices, new video offerings and dramatic
changes in traffic patterns are exhausting the capabilities of traditional
approaches to service delivery. Profitability for service providers hinges
on their ability to monetize new services and optimize the use of their
infrastructure by increasing performance and reducing costs. Advanced
application delivery will require infrastructure that can simplify and
automate key operations and bring greater application awareness throughout
the network enabling on-demand responses to application requests and
increased service velocity. The properties of the system will be discussed
and we'll further investigate implementation options. A set of
applications will be examined in regards to their needs for on-boarding
and to their performance characteristics.
Victor Bahl
Resource poverty is a fundamental constraint that severely limits the class of applications that can be run on mobile devices. This constraint is not just a temporary limitation of current technology, but is intrinsic to mobility. In this talk I will put forth a vision of mobile computing that breaks free of this fundamental constraint. In this vision, mobile users seamlessly utilize nearby computers to obtain the resource benefits of cloud computing without incurring WAN delays and jitter. Rather than relying on a distant "cloud," a mobile user connects to a "cloudlet", a micro datacenter on nearby infrastructure and uses it. Crisp interactive response for immersive applications that augment human cognition is then much easier to achieve because of the proximity of the cloudlet. While much remains to be done, the concepts and ideas introduced here open the door to a new world of mobile computing in which seamless cognitive assistance of users occurs in diverse ways at any time and place.

Network virtualization is emerging as one of the most significant transformations in networking. Network virtualization does for networking what server virtualization did for computing: it decouples the services provided by a virtual network from the underlying physical hardware. A virtual network is analogous to a virtual machine, in that it faithfully reproduces the capabilities of a physical network, but does so entirely in software. And just as server virtualization changed the operational model of data centers by allowing server provisioning to be automated with software tools, network virtualization is greatly simplifying the operations of data center networks. A virtual network can be provisioned automatically in software in a matter of seconds. Network configurations can be tailored to the needs of applications with the result that new applications can be rolled out much more quickly than before. Also, by decoupling the network services from the underlying hardware, it becomes possible to deploy simple, efficient layer-3 switching in the data center. This talk will explain how network virtualization is being implemented in some of the largest data centers today, and discuss the benefits that are being realized by the operators of those data centers.
Bruce Davie is a Principal Engineer in the Networking and Security BU. He joined VMware as part of the Nicira acquisition, and focuses on network virtualization. He has over 20 years of networking industry experience, and was a Cisco Fellow prior to joining Nicira. At Cisco, he worked closely with leading service providers to enhance the capabilities of their networks. He led the team that developed multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) and contributed to the standards on IP quality of service. He has written over a dozen Internet RFCs and several networking textbooks. Bruce received his Ph. D. in computer science from the University of Edinburgh in 1988 and is an ACM Fellow.

4. Offers time for you gauge the relationship to find out if your own ex boyfriend is really the guy for your requirements
When you stick to the zero contact laws, provide your the full time and you may place to miss your. This may merely take place in your absence, maybe not on the visibility.
Of the speaking out too-soon, your chance falling towards a blog post-dating relationship. Meaning your chat once in a while and you spend time regarding date so you're able to day, however your relationship is very undefined therefore the needle does not appear become moving in that direction or the other. This is because you may be each other lacking understanding in fact it is as you you desire a time period of zero contact to truly get your minds straight. Otherwise capture now, what you will remain overcast and you may confusing.

Being preternaturally gifted at something seems so exhausting. Mastering an objectively difficult skill and then flaunting it at will in the name of justifying the hours and decades of lonely, diligent work and commitment—it's indulgent and, frankly, rude to the rest of us. And then to impose that indulgence on a medium designed to deliver the basest, most escapist thrills shouldn't make sense. The point of Eddie Van Halen was not merely that he was a generational musical genius who invented an entire way of playing and presenting the electric guitar in pop music, it was that he made this feel simultaneously effortless and alien. He was not the first person to bring classically trained chops to hockey arenas, but he may have been the first to do it wearing overalls.
Between the formidable spectacle of his own lead singer and the how-did-he-do-that gawping at his skill, it was easy to overlook Eddie's pure style. Hearing his name, you're as likely to picture his face as his guitar's trademark criss-cross design, red with white and black stripes, a distinct color scheme that certainly no other guitar-wielding artists have used to create an identity since. He did physically impossible things with a musical instrument in mid-air during loud and dumb rock songs and somehow came off as understated, managing to carve out a lane between artful DIY punk—he built and painted that guitar himself—and total bombast. Even as his band was redefining what excess looked like at their early-'80s peak, he seemed like the grounded one (even if the coke dealers of the greater Los Angeles area might beg to differ). What he did transcended genre, and even music itself, turning guitar playing into sport. Even if you didn't care for that development, you still understood that he was Jordan.

5 Ways to Prepare before You Begin a Signage Brand
The SIGN of a true business starts when it contains something special.
And if you're into a signage business or you think of starting one already, then you get the responsibility to present those SIGNS through the sign you make for your clients.
So, a signage business, in simple words, is a really special business.
CONGRATULATIONS for selecting it!
Now, we need to focus on what a signage business can do in order to be the bearer of the most attractive workforce to its clients.
Signage businesses have evolved more with businesses with emerging niches and technologies with impressive improvements. Some technologies are specifically meant for illustrators, making it easier for your signage business to deliver its services efficiently.
Then, with the arrival of a completely new genre of technical work known as graphic designing that's dedicated to working with chiefly graphical operations, the signage business got a platform to explore itself almost
in the infinite sense.
Now, signage or signboard making (both manual and digital) has become a rising trend. It is an industry that is teaching other industries and brands to survive in the competition.
With such a worthy business niche at your side, you are going to be the next influencer in the corporate world.
And you'd better prepare for it in a WISE sense.
So, let's do that by reading this blog.
Let's Prepare for a Fantastic Signage Business, Shall We?
A signage business needs to be organized according to the varied requirements of today's niche industries.
Today's entrepreneurs have identified a signage brand as that business that can offer an EXTREMELY TAILORED solution.
And that's what diverse niches require.
They want their signs to be more diversified in the route of customization.
And a signage brand is ready to give them that.
Read below to find some ways that will make your signage business more appropriate to fetch clients. If you're low on budget, consider taking out a loan without a guarantor to help your brand start in a snap. You can surely repay the money with the profit you'll make.
You'll need to:
- Make a budget plan
- Fix a niche you'll serve
- Work with an outsourcing team
- Purchase online signage software
- Signage for people with disabilities
Without more ado, let's get into it.
- Make a Budget Plan
Initially, you need a solid budget plan for a business like signage making.
You must keep in mind that it is a business that requires both the online and offline departments to be financed well.
While you need to take care of digital marketing; SEO, along with the online design and development work, you must also take care of making an office to have more 'non-digital meetings with clients.
Are we missing something?
Signage brands may have to spend some extra money for printing signs. That's an additional sector in the brand, which needs quick money.
Make sure you're good with money management.
Fix a Niche You'll Serve
Fixing a niche is like working in a world where you will be valued and cared for.
Not every business is comfortable with any niche they just get. These niches must be the ones that are profitable for a signage business.
They must have quality work and projects from which your business might 'earn and learn' at the same time.
Then come the designers you're working with.
If you have a team of designers who specialize in a particular niche, it is better to search for projects or talk to clients from similar niches.
However, if you've no other options but a niche in particular, then work accordingly to tailor your services to that niche.
You may ask your designers to learn something new.
Work with an Outsourcing Team
The business process is an area that helps a business spread in a functional sense.
Had this been a well-coordinated factor for many businesses, then there wouldn't have been so many brands taking out loans with no guarantor to fund their business processes even after investing for the first time.
The thing is, you need to be serious about reaching people. For a business like signage, you have to work with a team even if you're sweating off making and using digital marketing strategies.
Do that by investing in a resourceful team for outsourcing.
The team should be an in-house team, though, as that can help you track business records at ease.
Purchase Online Signage Software
There are hundreds and thousands of signage composition software out there.
And yes, they are not always your usual graphic design or illustration software.
This software has to be purchased as most of them are premium.
Check if they have what you call a 'product configuration tool'. It is n advanced option that lets you work progressively with customizing the designs for your clients.
Signage for People with Disabilities
The more you think for your customers; the closer the business comes to you.
And yes, signage CAN BE OF GREAT ASSISTANCE FOR THE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.
If you offer customized signage solutions for people with all kinds of disabilities, then you're also making a very social approach to your business.
Consider offering such special services as Braille signage and more.
Such additional services may also give you extended revenue.
To Conclude: Make Sure Your Prices are Competitive Prices
Why does a debt consolidation loan for bad credit offered by a direct lender score higher than other personal loans?
It is because it solves multiple debts (meaning issues that are bothering you) at once.
A competitive price is going to do the same.
You may have a 'not so appealing' office. You may have a slow website. Probably you are new to the industry. Probably your signboards didn't receive much critical appreciation, although they're wonderful in their own ways.
You see, these can be there. Nothing is perfect.
But, if you offer an affordable price, you might as well hunt more clients than the 'perfect' competitors of yours.
Isn't that a nice idea?
If it is (with the rest of them), then start implementing them now.
Happy signage-making!

I recently met someone who embodied the values and intelligence I seek for myself daily. This person has the qualities of a genius and a wealth of knowledge that could change the world for the better. I remember meeting them for the first time and thinking, "Wow, what am I doing with my life," as the imposter syndrome started creeping up from within my gut. In their lifetime, they saw a world of pain and trauma rising in the Middle East, had lived through and come out of poverty, and still managed to forge a path for themselves to success. On the other hand, and from the other side of the world, I haven't really done much with my 33 years besides take for granted the privilege to live in peace, maybe work like a dog now and then, fail at achieving many goals, and my personal favourite as you all know, disappoint my father (just kidding, not really). With my brain wired the way it is, this individual had me thinking about the differences between Collectivism and Individualism and reaffirmed – to me anyway – the notion that life cannot simply be led by one or the other.
This post obviously isn't about the brilliant mind I met earlier this summer (although they are worthy of their own post). Still, it had me wondering how equality is a much broader topic than the fundamental human rights to which we're all entitled. In my last post, My equality is more Equal than Your Equality Part I, I discussed how Collectivism is a socioeconomic ideology that values working together to build and maintain our society and support one another through social programs. Today, I want to unpack the individual responsibility one owes oneself despite all the uncontrollable variables stacked against us, which further contributes to what makes one more equal than the other.
Freedom of choice comes with a price
The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.Ayn Rand (Alice O'Connor)
I think we should all vote to obliterate the word "free" and all of its brothers, sisters and cousins because it's evident – especially with today's global inflation – that nothing in life is free, not even the air that you're breathing as you read this. Everything in this world comes with a price, monetary or consequential. For every action, there's a reaction. The purely collective mindset will argue that pooling our resources together will mean "free" services for all, yet the notion of pooling resources suggests a price to be paid for said services. In other words, just because you didn't pay for this service doesn't mean someone else didn't pay for it on your behalf. Let me pause here and reiterate a point I made long ago: I am not saying that we shouldn't have free healthcare, free housing, free education, etc.; I'm saying that we need to acknowledge that the word free is a political ploy that plays directly into your emotions and that nothing in life is free.
Now that we've established that nothing is free in this world, we can move on to the bread and butter of this piece. The Hofstede Insight collected data from countries worldwide to better understand power distribution within societies and how that translates to freedom. Countries like Japan, Singapore and Malaysia have an index score of below 50 (more collective) for Individualism, while the United States scores 91. The Hofstede Insight describes Individualism as "the degree of interdependence a society maintains among its members." This degree can explain whether a society thinks as "I's" or "We's". For example, Japan's low score suggests that people tend to think collectively and share accountability in most aspects of life. At the same time, the US expects individuals within society to take more responsibility for their livelihood. The latter gives one the independence to put in as much effort as they want to advance, increasing the risk of inequality; the former invests in ensuring a higher equality index at the expense of individual freedom. Of course, I'm neither saying that there isn't "any" independence in countries with a low index score on Individualism nor that one may have a better life in a country with a high index score. Countries in the Middle East have some of the lowest index scores on Individualism and somehow produce some of the most successful and independent individuals in the world! However, couldn't we argue that in a country where Individualism is encouraged, one could choose to build a better life for themselves and then choose to contribute to their society in the way they see fit?
Yet there are still people who confuse individualism with selfishness.Albert Camus
I often say that one must learn to govern oneself before one can govern a country because whether one likes it or not, at its core, governing starts with choices, passive or actionable. One has to make at least one choice every day, starting with the will to live. Think about it: from the moment you wake up, you choose whether or not to get out of bed, wash up, eat breakfast, go to work, call your parents, and so on. You set your intention for the day and decide whether to be happy or not. Making choices is inevitable in this life and, at minimum, a form of Individualism. Broadening the perspective, you further set goals for yourself and build an action plan based on your motivation and the external factors that may help or hinder you from achieving them. This is where a person who values Individualism may thrive, and I use the word "may" loosely. Let's zoom in on Individualism to understand its risks and rewards.
A society founded on Individualism will tell you, "you can be anything you set your mind to" because you are free to pave your way. However, such a society will never dare tell you it will be easy. In some countries, the governing system is set up for certain groups of people to fail. If they overcome every obstacle imaginable, they become a national-inspiration-turned-into-an-Oscar-worthy-movie designed to mislead the public into believing that it is, in fact, easy to be anything you want to be (*cough*US*cough). Yet, despite a flawed system where physical and economic discrimination run high, millions worldwide still desire the dream these societies sell over the collective reality in which they live. Why is that even after knowing it requires sacrificing the notion that we are all equal? Because freedom of choice has more sex appeal than living a life chosen for them. Because with freedom of choice, at least you have a chance to achieve true fulfilment.
Individualism today has a bad rap because of the misconception circling the globe that it is fueled by selfishness and egotism, eventually enabling racist ideologies. This idea that individualism harbours hate for others is quite frankly ignorant because, as I pointed out above, everyone has a duty to govern themselves first and foremost. No one is equal, and we have to accept that. The focus needs to shift away from equality and towards equity, the latter being adaptable to one's circumstances. Rather than aiming to attain equality, a society must focus on removing or minimizing obstacles that prevent people from achieving their potential. For example, public establishments founded on racism, credit scores that are designed to keep the poor poor, corruption, bribery, and crony capitalism, to name a few, are all barriers that hinder one's success. Neither Collectivism nor Individualism is protected from developing these obstacles. The truth is that Individualism gives one the freedom to live the life one wants and takes accountability for the choices one makes. That feeling that you can live your life without fear is liberating! True individualists will share their knowledge and empower others to do the same. In contrast, Collectivism risks keeping everything the same without a second thought as to whether "the same" works the same way for everyone equally.
In the end it all comes full circle
Collectivism and Individualism alone can be disastrous to society. In a purely collectivist society, we have no regard for one's self and the consequences of our actions. Whether you're a low-contributing, self-centred, entitled, or harmful human being, you would still have access to the services society provides (except for prisoners, perhaps, which is another controversial topic). This is where equality starts to show its cracks. On the other side of the spectrum lies pure individualist societies that risk brewing some of the most heinous, selfish, narcissistic creatures to walk this earth. The worst part of an individualistic society is when those "creatures" run the country. This is where independence shows its flaws. People don't realize that at both extremes, both ideologies come back full circle and eventually become one and the same. Left to their own demise, both Individualism and Collectivism can be dangerous. The former can lead to anarchy, while the latter can create a totalitarian government. You may be wondering in which society I would choose to live: I'm privileged to have the freedom to choose.

The longtime owners of a Winterport winery and brewery and accompanying tasting room have sold to a group of local investors, who plan to reinvest in the business and grow it.
Winterport Winery and Penobscot Bay Brewery was purchased in October by BRB, LLC from Mike and John Anderson, who started the business in 2001 originally as just a winery and tasting room, before expanding operations to offer craft beer as well.
The new owners — Augusta residents Alex and Katie Kolb, Veazie residents Nick and Kathryn Sawicki, and Bangor resident Katherine Freudenberger, who are all in their late 20s and early 30s — have already undertaken some renovations to the building at 279 South Main St. in Winterport, and held a grand re-opening celebration last weekend.
"We plan to keep the foundation that Mike and Joan laid, but in the future we're definitely going to experiment with different flavors and styles, and try to draw some new people," said Alex Kolb, who like his four fellow owners is a pharmacist and a graduate of the University of New England College of Pharmacy.
In addition to eventually adding some new beer styles, the new owners also plan to bring food trucks in on the weekends, and in the warmer months open up the patio for lawn games and other activities.
"We can't wait for the summer, when we can have food trucks and people playing cornhole and stuff like that," he said. "We're really excited to offer something fun for the community."
The Andersons have retired, although Mike Anderson will stay on with the business through the summer to help the new owners in the transition.
"They have a great view and vision about moving it to the next level," Mike Anderson said. "Already they have invested time, money and energy to renovate and expand it."
The Andersons purchased the building on Route 1A in Winterport, the former site of PenBay Ace Hardware, in 1999, and spent two years renovating the space and perfecting their initial lineup of wines made from Maine fruit like blueberries, apples and pears, which was followed by a popular line of ciders. It opened in October 2001, and was followed in 2005 by Pairings, an on-site restaurant, which they operated until 2011.
In 2009, building on the momentum of Maine's nascent craft beer scene, the pair opened Penobscot Bay Brewery as a sister company. Some of the brewery's most popular and widely distributed beers include Humble B, a lager brewed with honey, and Building 5 Rye, an IPA. Its beers are available in the Winterport tap room, as well as at bars and in retail stores across the state.
Winterport Winery and Penobscot Bay Brewery's new hours of operation are 3 to 8 p.m. Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays.
