Classes started last week for college students across the nation, including 30 new students enrolled at Augustana College through the Augustana Prison Education Program (APEP) at the East Moline Correctional Center. This program is the first Second Chance Pell Experimental Site in Illinois to use Second Chance Pell grants from the U.S. Department of Education to pay for tuition.
"The APEP students are driven to succeed. They express their thanks every day, sometimes literally and often in the effort they take to be prepared for every class every time. They make their professors proud. APEP is a joy," said Dr. Sharon Varallo, Executive Director of APEP.
Last year, Augustana applied for and was selected to participate in the Second Chance Pell Initiative to provide the education program inside the prison. The Second Chance Pell Initiative was expanded for the 2022-2023 award year and allows individuals in custody to attend post-secondary education programs using Pell grant funding. This is the first program of its type in Illinois since incarcerated people were banned from accessing Pell grants in 1994. This partnership between Augustana College and the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) aims to recognize best practices to share with the larger higher education community in Illinois. Persons in custody will have full access to Pell grants by the summer of 2023.
"Pell restoration is a tremendous opportunity to expand partnerships between colleges and correctional agencies to deliver high-quality education to individuals in custody," said Rob Jeffreys, Director of IDOC. "The work of Dr. Varallo, her team of educators and staff at East Moline Correctional Center were essential to establishing the robust and effective program that exists today. Launching a Second Chance Pell site is an important step to prepare IDOC for full restoration next year."
"We are thrilled that Augustana applied and was approved for this opportunity," said Alyssa Williams, Assistant Director of IDOC. "We look forward to continuing our partnership with them and deepening IDOC's understanding of how to prepare for Pell restoration next year. We anticipate it will become an essential part of expanding access to academic college courses across the Illinois prison system."
APEP is a full-time, liberal arts, Augustana College Bachelor of Arts degree program that is offered to individuals in custody at the East Moline Correctional Center. Students take Augustana coursework from the same faculty who teach on the college's main campus in Rock Island. APEP was started in 2021 with funds from the Austin E. Knowlton Foundation and sustained with donations from community organizations and private donors. As a Second Chance Pell Experimental Site, Augustana can utilize need-based Pell grants to pay for the costs of college for individuals in custody. This semester, the 30 students enrolled in APEP will take full-time coursework, with the option to select from eight different courses, including Principles of Economics, Introduction to Liberal Arts, and Writing Poetry, among others. Augustana plans to offer courses during the winter session and the spring semester.
"East Moline is proud to partner as an arm of IDOC with Augustana in this collaborative agreement. We look forward to what the future holds as Pell grants will likely increase opportunities for individuals in custody to receive a post-secondary education. We have seen how providing access to excellent education sets individuals up for success as they re-enter back into society," said Amber Allen, Assistant Warden of Programs at East Moline Correctional Center.

100%. This would be a huge improvement. I've resorted to using a multiband eq pedal but without the ability to target specific strings it's of limited utility. To be honest, I only use the JTV acoustic models for recording (which are really convincing)--haven't been able to get tones I can live with using any of the other models.
Got my new JTV-59, as expected seeing the same issue with the low E-string. To me this reflects well on Line-6's build consistency and negatively on the 2 Jazzbox bodies :). Something is definitely weird there: the Jazz Seventy Five body has an overly bright 6th string while the Jazz Super Four has an extremely muddy one. The good news is that, strung up with 12 guage flatwounds, all the models still sound good to my ears and I was able to find some decent mellow jazz tones using other bodies.
@fjs1962 forgot to mention, raising the action was one of my first adjustments and you're totally right, it did improve things immediately.
Thanks for the great info. I'm still using the original stock strings (10s I think) but am planning switching to 12 or 13s once my replacement jtv-59 arrives next week (instrument I received was the wrong color). First thing I did was reduce the global string level using the lester models, ending up with somewhere between -10 and -12 db. For me the 1 and 3 strings were louder than others. So far I'm impressed with the strat, tele, and acoustic sounds, less so with the jazzbox and semi sounds. I've spent several hours trying to get a decent jazz sound (I'm mostly a jazz player), tweaking everything including pickups, bodies, polarity, tone resistance/capacitance, etc. but haven't really found anything usable thus far unfortunately. The inconsistency of the 6 string, very noticeable piezo nasally quack of strings 4-6, and the inability to tweak the EQ of individual strings has beaten me down so far. I absolutely love the ability to change tunings on the fly though, that's the killer feature for me. Anyway, I'll report back when I get my new axe and string it up with fatter flatwounds. I realize that it's not the recommended setup and likely will destroy any semblance of authenticity for the other models but if I can get a usable jazz tone that will be good enough for me.
I'm definitely seeing this too on my new jtv-59, very noticeable on the jazz boxes, especially on the es-175-ish (Jazz Seventy Five body) models. Luckily it's not as pronounced on the casino (Jazz Super Four body) but still there. For all of them I'm fighting a strange nasally kind of tone that I'm hoping to alleviate with some EQing but have yet to try. Any pointers for getting a decent sounding jazz tone?

Market volatility is back. How to survive the stock market's wild swings
Visions of the Dow dropping 500, 600 or 800 points in a day keeping you up at night?
Trust me, you're not alone.
Watching the stock market basically dive off a cliff on a regular basis isn't easy on the nerves – or the 401(k) account balance, for that matter. The Dow Jones industrial average took investors on a wild ride last week. In a span of three trading days, it dropped 1,150 points, or 4.5 percent, to 24,389.
It ended Friday on downbeat note, tumbling 559 points. And that swoon followed Thursday's decline of 79 points after an intraday plunge of 784 points and Tuesday's 799 point dive, the Dow's fourth-biggest ever.
No doubt, it was angst-inducing action. But if you own stocks in a retirement plan or trade them on your smartphone, you have to find a way to deal with fear and anxiety now that wild swings, big price dives and amplified volatility have come roaring back on Wall Street.
The good news? You're not overreacting to the market's recent change in temperament. The turbulence is real. Data doesn't lie.
After Friday's 2.3 percent drop, the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index has closed up or down more than 2 percent on 15 trading days this year, marking the most swings of that size since 2011, S&P Dow Jones Indices data show. And the big moves, which include those triple-digit drops suffered by the Dow, likely freak you out more because there wasn't a single day last year when the broad market closed up or down more than 2 percent.
Here's some tips on how you can better cope with the psychological and emotional strain of a market that currently is wracking up paper losses in your accounts.
Don't get caught up in the points
Sure, the Dow's 559-point downdraft Friday and 799-point plunge on Tuesday can create enough stress to cause your blood pressure to spike. But with the Dow now trading above 24,000, declines of 500 points "ain't what it used to be," quipped Howard Silverblatt, senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices.
His data, which dates to 1896, show the Dow has closed up or down at least 500 points 38 times. The first such move was the 508-point drop on Oct. 19, 1987 – a day known as Black Monday because of the gargantuan 22.6 percent loss.
When it comes to percentages, the Dow closed Friday down 9.1 percent from its October high. What's more, in a typical year, the market has suffered an average drop of 13 percent, says Brad McMillan, chief investment officer at Commonwealth Financial Network. "So this is well within the normal range," he says.

Shift to more defensive posture
If the recent volatility has made you nervous and caused you to lose more of your money than you are comfortable with, now's the time to consider dialing back your risk, says Ben Phillips,chief investment officer of EventShares.
"We think investors should be using market rallies to position their portfolios more defensively," he told USA TODAY. "While markets appear to be oversold on short-term metrics, we feel stocks could fall much further if the U.S.-China trade disputes continue to escalate and (cause) a slowdown."
Raise cash if you might need it
First, make sure your plan is still in line with your objectives.
"If it is ... stick with the plan and remind yourself that you're a long-term investor and not a day trader," says Diahann Lassus of wealth management firm Lassus Wherley.
But there's one exception, she says.
"If you have a need for cash in the near term, you may want to raise a little extra in case this volatility continues," she says,
Employ a "barbell" strategy
Now's a good time to build a portfolio that provides both offense and defense, says Joe Quinlan, market strategist at U.S. Trust.
He recommends that on one side, investors add to their stock investments in areas such as health care, defense, cybersecurity and technology. On the other side, add to your helpings of short-duration bonds as a way of lowering your risk.
Consider buying the dip
If you have the courage, now might be a time to step in to buy stocks when they are beaten down and on sale, says Thorne Perkin, president of Papamarkou Wellner Asset Management.
The worst reaction is to panic and sell, as there's a good chance you could miss a stock bounce back in this environment, he says. The Dow's 706-point rebound off its intraday low Thursday was a perfect example.
If you have some cash sitting on the sidelines, now's the time to consider going on the offensive and buying stocks on weakness.
"Stock market fortunes," Perkin says, "are built buying on market dips, not peaks."

Just finished it on Hard. Well, actually not finished because I couldnt care to get through the last boss battle and just youtubed it. Because this is such a CINEMATIC game, you cant use the airplane mobile stairs to get the drop on the boss until the game lets you. If you go even slightly forward of the other enemies, insta-death. You HAVE to clear out those 20 other dudes or then its an insta-death whatever else you do. When you do the laborious chore of taking out everyone else, THEN the game puts you in a cinematic where Max jumps from those same mobile stairs and shoots out the grenade launcher of the boss to blow him up. Play this game exactly how the designers meant you to goddamnit, not make your own way and shorten down the boss to 5 seconds. Godawful level design coupled with the bad cover system and sluggish movement controls makes this one of the worst bosses in AAA games of this generation.
Max Payne 3 is awful from top to bottom. Not many people have said its an outright bad game, so Ill be the first. Its right up there with Assassins Creed 1 as one of the worst highly-rated AAA games Ive played this generation.
People saying it's a worthy successor are lying through their teeth. Some people on NeoGAF have even said its the best in the series!. Maybe he didnt like noir New York and the interesting characters as much and is more into suicidal, pathetic assholes who rip off Man on Fire.
I just dont understand how the few that have played it call it one of the best shooters. Maybe if you judge shooters by just enemy hit reactions and like to stare at animations. Yes, the Euphoria animation engine is great in some ways, but not in others.
Animation Priority: The Game
Putting Euphoria on the main character instead of just on the enemies like the sensible Star Wars Force Unleashed did, is one of the worst decisions Rockstar has made with their games this generation. Movement all around is sluggish, rife with that input lag and animation priority that I hate in cinematic games. This same kind of clunky movement is also in RDR and GTA 4, so its not like Euphoria is being used here as in-game characterization. Does this mean Euphoria is only fit for middle-aged characters? So I should only expect old people as protagonists in future Rockstar games? Well, there go any chances of Bully 2, then.
It makes shoot-dodging an even less viable strategy because you're knocking your head into walls and bits of cover in the already claustrophobic level design, where youre then forced into a stun loop while you clumsily pick yourself back up. This process of getting back up takes exactly THREE SECONDS.
It's made the worst when in "Last Stand" youre dealt a lethal shot, the camera jerks around sluggishly and you can only shoot that one person who shot you. You can't just kill anyone in your vicinity like the "Second Wind" of Borderlands games. You cant even RELOAD, so if you ran out of the clip before or during, youre shit out of luck and have to wait unceremoniously to slump over into death. You tell me how that makes sense. Last Stand is a straight up broken mechanic, and Im surprised it wasnt fixed in testing.
Oh, but sluggish Max Payne makes sense because hes old, right? No. Its inconsistent. Max does the most insane maneuvers here compared to even previous games. He dives from a collapsing water tower to jump across a whole rooftop, takes a sniper shot to the arm and just wraps it, or grabs onto a railing and crashes through a stadiums window knocking out an enemy in the process Rainbow Six-breach style. And even bigger drops from huge heights with zero repercussions unlike in Max Payne 2 where it served as a big dramatic moment to highlight his downward spiral.
Movement is so outdated. How many times did you use the "roll" button and not just as a cool animation for picking up a gun? I would only ever roll if when I ended up on prone, the distance was too far from cover to just press Q. If youre too far while prone, expect to be mashing up + roll + cover button to get back to safety. You can't even round covers, which should be a feature in every cover-based shooter (Mafia 2, Hitman Absolution, Deus Ex Human Revolution, Uncharted 2, etc).
To Slide Or Not To Slide Into Cover
People have actually said it's possible to play the game without ever using cover. Throwing around overly exaggerated numbers like 99% or whatever high number that fits your argument. The whole second half of the game with the favelas, Panama canals, and the rest of Sao Paulo, is just not possible to bypass cover because the level design gets even more constricted as you progress. Suppose you could in New York Minute or some other mode, but that means you have to memorize the enemy placements and level design by heart and have to do a second playthrough (who would do that with unskippable cutscenes?). If you can't play the game naturally on first playthrough without using cover for even 90% of the game, that means you have to use cover. Its an essential feature.
The game would incentivize you if you could bypass the cover system, like Vanquish does. Give you an achievement for not using cover for a whole level. I thought "Old School" difficulty would mean the game disabled cover, but nope. They designed the game around cover, so just accept it.
Maybe Remedy would implement a cover system in this modern age if they did Max Payne 3, but itd be a hell of a lot more effective.
You can tell Rockstar has never made a linear cover-based shooter. Or at least a competent one. The cover placement points make NO sense! You can not dive from cover to cover efficiently without scrambling to hit the cover button as Max takes his sweet time to get up. Sometimes you cant even dive forward from cover or this glitch business happens:
I got some shaking/stuttering game-ending cover glitches too.
The cemetery sniper bit of moving from one tombstone to another, the last boss battle, and many other places have really badly placed cover points. The level design is just not fit for moving from cover to cover. As evident in this gif:
How is this one of the best shooters when the only thing it gets right is enemy hit reactions but not player movement, monster closet enemy spawns, level design, cover systems, last stand, and having trite turret/sniper sections? I only liked the cinematic shooting moments because I didnt have to move Maxs slumbering ass at all.
Unskippable Cutscenes
Presumably if you havent played Max Payne 3, youve still heard about this. Theres way too many of them, they ruin the pacing and flow of the game, they look awful especially on PC with the jarring shifts from pre-rendered to in-game cinematics, and are pointless to be unskippable. No, theyre not loading the game. Yes, theyre a dealbreaker. This is so because it affects gameplay and replayability. A second playthrough is completely ruined, and the arcade mode doesnt do enough to bypass these issues. BTW, the checkpoints are also awful in that very modern way of making you replay a previous enemy encounter before where you died.
How it affects gameplay is because for some reason Max looooooves single-handed weapons and especially pistols for the very worst situations, so you end the cutscene with the least effective weapons. After every single cutscene (except for the very last one in the awful boss battle where he finally uses the double-handed weapon like my G6 Commando), I have to switch to either dual weapons or the rifle before I continue the fight. In quite a few fights, Maxs proclivity for single-handed weapons will lead to cheap deaths. Its a nuisance.
The awful Tony Scott (RIP) effects over them are just obnoxious and probably dangerous to photosensitive or epileptic gamers. Worse than Man on Fire, its taken to 11 without much context. They dont even make sense. Again, you think theyre there for narrative sense because they highlight Max as an alcoholic. But they still show up in the same frequency after you go sober and bald in the latter 3rd act. They would be fine if it was for a poignant moment, but theyre all over and not fun to watch. Even poor neogaf users like pa22word and Jubbly tried to fix this, but it wasn't successful. Rockstar never added this as a patch ala Dark Souls/Durante either.
You can't even access options during a cutscene when you pause it to maybe turn on subtitles, like the majority of games in existence.
Why are there fucking cutscenes for opening doors or climbing ladders? There are literally cutscenes just for these actions. Cant let me do those actions myself? Remedy only ever put cutscenes in their games for long conversations between characters or moving from one level to the next. Not for having Max doing mundane gameplay actions. OH WAIT I JUST FIGURED IT OUT!
As a joke, I would say going through doors are the actual enemies to Niko Bellic (GTA 4) and John Marston (RDR) because they hardly can get through in a clean sweep if you werent just walking. Rockstar (or Jason Bone, the lead designer) thought, man Euphoria fucks up movement through doors, so lets just dump cutscenes instead!. You can only walk through doors that dont have enemies on the other side, but no fuck you for deciding to go through yourself and plan a course of action like in previous Max Payne games. In previous games, you could see all the enemies in an area and had barely any monster closets like what Call of Duty and modern shooters go for nowadays. You could decide what you would want to do, how to take out those fools on the bottom in the amusement park of Max Payne 2. Here (outside of some parts in the favelas) they just pop out, and makes the world feel more game-y than lived-in.
Stop Telling Me To HURRY UP, BRO
The majority of the game, youll have either Passos or some other person always telling you to hurry up to get to the next part of the level. Its Escort Mission: The Game. And theyre dumb AI who never help you as evident in this clip and gif:
No exploring allowed on the job! There are even unspecified timed fail states to these. One fail state is so bad in the Cemetery that if you dont go into bullet time, Passos automatically dies. And yet the game has clues or collectibles throughout the levels, so what do you want me to do, Rockstar? I like golden guns, can I at least explore? I dont think even Call of Duty has this many fail states for idling.
The writers went to the trouble of writing 6-7 lines of idling from your escort NPC which while cool in its weird OCD way, is just plain overwriting to a point where I actually killed Passos, the IT guy, and Giovanna from time to time to shut them the fuck up. Max Payne also monologues about the idling, so yeah if you thought Nathan Drake was chatty, you havent seen anything yet.
Max narrates clues that you're examining, with again unskippable cutscenes! You're forced to stare at some texture, instead of having Max narrate it while you're still playing like any game that does audio diaries or narrating expository bits of the world or even just previous Max Payne games.
Uncharted: Among Assholes
Max Payne isn't Max Payne here, he's a Rockstar character. Hes an asshole among many assholes. Passos, with his overuse of the word bro only becomes likeable at the end in a cutscene because he exits the game never to bother the player ever again. Too little, too late. I love how Marcelo, easily the most hateful of the lot, is made even more hateful with a flashback after hes out of the picture. Theres a sub-plot where he loves some other woman (someone other than Daphne?), but it never goes anywhere. Max Paynes gullible errand boy kind of character makes game-sense in an open world of being an errand boy for quest givers, but here he seems like a dickless pussy where characters constantly shout at you for taking your time and not getting to some objective marker fast enough. Its so weirdly out of character compared to him in previous games where he was likeable while being sarcastic, self-deprecating, poetic, and full of dark comedy. Here, even his jokes sound like insults. I dont even get this line at the start:
"Very funny... Ha ha... Yes, that is a fake laugh, you jerk."
Is he talking to me, the player? To Passos? Is this the only bit of 4th wall breaking that was a staple of previous MP games? Is this a framed narrative where hes talking to someone while reminiscing the entire game? NOPE. Hes just an asshole.
Even more, he's a self-hating sad sack of shit who drinks a lot. He acts more Man On Fire than Max Payne. I know Rockstar loves them some movies, but its so blatant and character-breaking here.
The writers want to shove it in your face in case you forgot every 5 minutes that hes an asshole and an alcoholic. There should be AA(A) meetings for his kind. Oh, and hes constantly suicidal. Seriously, where is the suicide button? I just want to put him out of his misery. The ending doesnt even make sense in context to all this self-loathing. There are games where assholes as protagonists fit, Kane and Lynch for example. But Max Payne wasn't a douche to everyone in previous games, he made jokes and while self-deprecating he didn't keep on moaning. Previous games weren't as one-dimensional in their tone, thanks to Sam Lake's script. Here, Dan Houser brings all his typical social caricature, pop references, and modern cynicism that makes Max Payne more out to be the whinging grandpa in some sitcom that you just want to shut up.
The writers making the character an alcoholic feels so tedious. He's always fucking up stuff because of drinking. You're a bodyguard, your job is to protect people, and yet you're getting drunk on their time and money. Even Denzel Washington in Man on Fire only did that back in his apartment, not on the job. Making Max Payne out to be an unsympathetic person feels like such a cop-out to let him do stupid shit in service of the plot. Maybe James McCaffrey was just happy for the voice acting gig rather than questioning the continuity-breaking characterisation. He does some pretty contrived shit back in New Jersey so the writers can set the rest of the game in Brazil.
Ive got a fever and the only prescription is more Remedy!
One of my favourite bits about Remedys Max Payne games were the funny conversations enemies used to have to themselves. I love enemy chatter in NOLF, Riddick, the Darkness games, or many stealth games like Dishonored. Brings a certain level of believability to the world and at least you get a laugh from such violent games. Theyre hardly here, or if they are only Brazilians/Spanish gamers will get to understand them.
Hilarious how Take Two/Rockstar owns the Max Payne IP and yet still couldn't get the classic locked door sound effects of previous Max Payne games. Remedy even put them in Alan Wake as a signature touch for fans.
There are only two tv segments and theyre so disappointing. Even GTA 4 had better. Nothing comes close to Dick Justice, Address Unknown or Lords and Ladies. Max Paynes calls to a phone sex worker. Those little touches made Remedys work more notable, and made me love exploring every nook and cranny. Theres no identity to this game. It just rips off Man On Fire.
Why Does Max Payne 3 Exist?
The ending is so out of tone, almost Scooby Doo-ish, for a Max Payne game and even for his asshole, suicidal, drunk character in this game. I dont think the writers had even anything to say other than yo, gringos are dumb and angry. The only canon ending for Max Payne Ill accept is the one in Alan Wake with the late goodbye. That was clearly Remedys way of ending the character, and is more fitting than what we get with Rockstars Max Payne 3.
I can see why Rockstar was forgiven for being outdated in the gameplay for GTA 4 because it's a big open world and there was loads more to do than just combat. Red Dead Redemption had the hunting and exploring a western world, with a good story.
But here it's a linear shooter, and it's again outdated in its mechanics. Any new mechanics they added to the Max Payne formula like last stand and the cover system were badly executed. Heck, Spec Ops: The Line is better in this regard. Sleeping Dogs did more with its bullet time than Max Payne 3. Vanquish. Oh man, Vanquish. You get the jist.
Why does this exist? For Rockstar to have a game set in a creative new setting in Sao Paulo? But Call of Duty already did that with the favela levels. What was the spark here? To see a bald Max Payne? But we already had that trend with Splinter Cell and Breaking Bad. Or maybe Take-Two bought the Max Payne rights and hadnt done anything with it since 2004, so they just pumped out a sequel to get some returns. It sold horribly though, so I doubt a sequel will come. At least with Sam Lakes ending of the character, Im fine with no more of dearest of all my friends Max.
Its not that the design decisions (unskippable cutscenes, cover system, Euphoria, asshole protagonist, a suicidal alcoholic Max)are bad in themselves. Its that theyre executed in the worst possible ways. When I cant even appreciate the shooting mechanics, the one thing a lot of people praise about the game, what else is there? It was just no fun of an experience for me in any way. I dont even want to move Max! So yeah, if I can't appreciate the fundamental gameplay of a third person shooter, the story of a usually story-driven franchise, and this being an awful Max Payne game, I have to call out the game as bad.
I did enjoy spinning around Max to the tune of Kylie Minogue.
Who knew strippers in Max Payne 3 feared water? *NSFW*

Sliding doors open to a spacious dining room, complete with ornate trim along the walls, and the scents of spices wafting in the air. A daily lunch buffet offers a variety of dishes, from simmering curries to glistening grilled meats cooked in a tandoori oven. When you're seated, you'll find a basket of fresh naan bread at the center of the table looking as if it's been waiting for you its whole life. In addition to the buffet, a comprehensive menu is available at both lunch and dinner, featuring "Chef Specials," Indo-Chinese fusion dishes, and ample selections of vegetarian and vegan plates.

Under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), individuals and business owners may qualify for financial assistance to cover the cost of rebuilding or relocating their substantially damaged homes or businesses following the flooding in New York from Tropical Depression Ivan or from any flood.
The Increased Cost of Compliance (ICC) provision written into all NFIP policies purchased or renewed since June 1, 1997 provides up to $30,000 to offset the cost to comply with state or community laws or ordinances after a direct loss caused by a flood. The damaged structure must be located in a High Risk Flood Zone "A." The $30,000 is in addition to the policyholder's basic coverage; but the total claim, including the cost for ICC, cannot exceed the maximum dollar amount of $250,000.
"Substantial damage occurs when community building officials determine that a structure is damaged to the point that repairs will cost 50 percent or more of the building's pre-flood market value," said Mary Colvin, a U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) mitigation officer. "Homeowners and businesses may file an ICC claim if the structure suffered "substantial damage." There are a few communities in New York State where this coverage is also available for repetitive losses.
ICC funds must be used toward the costs of undertaking a mitigation measure that will substantially reduce or eliminate flood risk. These measures may include elevating the building to or above the flood level adopted by the community, relocating the building out of the floodplain, flood proofing non-residential buildings, or demolishing a damaged building. Repairs and rebuilding done under this program must be done in accordance with local building codes and must comply with local floodplain ordinances.
ICC claims are adjusted separately from flood-damage claims. Appropriate local government officials determine whether the structure has been substantially damaged by flooding. This determination is made when the owner applies for a permit to repair the damaged structure. Once the local government has made that decision, the policyholder should call his or her insurance agent to file an ICC claim.
For more information on ICC coverage, individuals can contact their insurance company or agent, call the NFIP at 1-800-427- 4661, or visit FEMA's Web site at www.fema.gov/nfip for guidance on reducing losses from future floods.

When I want to buy a lemon, I go to the fruit store or the grocery.
The average buyer of a car has no idea about the mechanics, just how to drive. And most of the worst lemons make it out of the lot. It's once you get the car home and begin driving that you discover everything wrong. Too late. Thanks used car salesman.

Every time I've been to used car salesmen, frum or not, I felt like I was being cheated. Salesmen in general have a reputation for being able to talk people in to overpaying for something they don't need. Used car salesmen have it even worse, since it's not difficult to hide major issues and get someone to overpay for a piece of junk.June 3, 2021 11:09 pm at 11:09 pm #1980168Always_Ask_QuestionsParticipant
Market works only when there is sufficient information. If I am selling you a car and you do not trust me, then you can only offer a lower price for it as you have to presume that inside is rotten. Then, an honest seller can not sell a good car on the open market, and the only sellers will be those with cars rotten inside. Thus, the "used car salesman".
As mentioned above, you need to show it to a disinterested car mechanic – pay him well for the estimate and make clear that you are not going to bring it to him for repairs.
The same rule works in other fields where buyers can not fully evaluate quality of the product – universities, schools, doctors ..June 4, 2021 8:24 am at 8:24 am #1980251Reb EliezerParticipant

I don't think I've seen these linked here, so I thought it might be handy to have them linked from one post. These are various time-limited exemptions from the CAA drone registration requirements starting on 5th November:
E4913: exemption from registration as operator and pilot for control-line aircraft, until 30 June 2020
E4973 Small Unmanned Aircraft – SUA Operator Registration Requirements for Members of UK Model and Small Unmanned Aircraft Associations
E4954: exemption from pilot competency test for members of BMFA, SAA and LMA holding relevant test passes, until 30 June 2020
E4956: exemption from pilot competency test for pilots operating in accordance with a CAA PfCO or equivalent, until 30 June 2020
E4957: exemption from pilot competency test for members of FPV UK holding 'A' certificate test pass, until 30 June 2020
Two important things to note:
Several of these exemptions are only valid if you print it off and have it with you when you fly/
The PfCO exemption only applies while flying in accordance with your CAA permission i.e. a PfCO holder flying recreationally outside the bounds of their ops manual would not be exempt and would still need to have completed the competency test.
Also note the significance of the date 30 June 2020, as this is when the EASA regulations are due to come in and change everything anyway.

The Arizona Cardinals are on the road Sunday afternoon to take on the Cleveland Browns. They hope to push their record to 6-0 to start the season and win their fifth straight game against the Browns.
They will have to do it without head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Kingsbury and quarterbacks coach Cam Turner tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday and did not travel with the team. General manager Steve Keim also did.
Offensive line coach/run-game coordinator Sean Kugler will call plays against the Browns and both defensive coordinator Vance Joseph and special teams coordinator/assistant head coach Jeff Rodgers will split the head-coaching duties.
The Cardinals will be without linebacker Chandler Jones and defensive end Zach Allen, both of whom are on the COVID list after positive tests this week.
This is the second time Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield face one another. They were teammates in college at Oklahoma, were consecutive Heisman Trophy winners and the No. 1 pick in the draft in 2018 and 2019.

Spam - past and future presented at Virus Bulletin 2003
by Costin Raiu (Kaspersky lab),
URL : http://www.virusbtn.com/conference/vb2003/abstracts/craiu03.xml
Summary : "Spam - past and future
Even if viruses and Trojans are still the holders for the infamous 'most widespread kind
of malware' award, last year showed some new trends making their appearance in the security
world. Already old, spam is becoming more and more widespread, and accompanied by dialers
and IE exploits, is becoming an even greater threat than viruses.
For instance, according to various statistics the average email user is receiving about one
infected message every week. On the other hand, the number of spam emails received can be
as high as ten per day, of which some can directly open web pages further exploiting
various IE bugs to install dialers or spyware.
This paper will take an in-depth look at spam, the most recent techniques used to create
'undetectable' (by AntiSpam software) messages and the technology which is currently used
against this increasing threat. Eventually, we'll see what are the most promising future
solutions, such as the Bayesian neural networks and analyse their limitations and expected

Introducing the correct No Parking Signs essential, particularly regarding helping drivers and the overall population to remain safe.There are many situations where it will be desirable to have drivers of motor vehicles not park or stand in specific areas, even if it only pertains to certain times of the day, or specific days of the week. The reasons for these restrictions can be extremely diverse, ranging from safety issues to problems with access which are caused by parked vehicles. In any case, it is the responsibility of the person or agency which desires to prohibit parking, to have such signage installed and maintained so that it can be clearly visible and thus complied with.

From Jamie Peipon: The status of the war has not changed much today. Therefore, today's report will be a cultural deep dive along with some news that is currently making waves in Ukraine. In today's picture you can see Mykola Leontovych with his family. That name might not be familiar to you, but I can almost guarantee that you are familiar with his work. Leontovych was a Ukrainian who studied in seminary from 1892-1899. While there, he was involved with the liturgical choirs and began writing choral arrangements. He was so proficient musically that he would go on to work at the same Kyiv Conservatory (the same one in which I would eventually study). He wrote a piece called Schedryk, which you will more likely know as "Carol of the Bells." He lived through the Bolshevik revolution which was one of the most tumultuous periods in modern Eastern European history. After the revolution, he was known to support an independent Ukrainian state and this earned him some enemies.
In January of 1921, he went to visit his parents. He stayed at their home. A man named Afanasy Grishchenko was traveling through their town and his parents agreed to house him for the night. He shared a room with Mykola. Afanasy, however, was a soviet agent who shot and murdered the composer that night and then robbed his family. The history of Russian oppression of Ukraine runs deep. It is amazing that Ukraine can still have such rich culture when Russia has historically murdered its best representatives or claimed them as Russian. The number of times this same scenario has played out in Ukraine is disturbing. Right now, we're just seeing the very latest iteration.
In current news, there has been a great deal of outrage channeled towards Amnesty International today. They published an article entitled "Ukrainian Fighting Tactics Endanger Civilians." In the article, they would go on to accuse the Ukrainian armed forces of using schools, residential areas, and hospitals as "de facto military bases."
This report has left Ukrainians at a loss. Here they are, the victims of a full-fledged invasion, and Amnesty International is condemning them instead of the country that has attacked them? What are they supposed to do? Why are they putting the Russian and Ukrainian army on equal footing? Isn't the Russian invasion a little more dangerous than the position of Ukrainian soldiers throughout the country as they defend their homeland? It is frustrating and, quite honestly, that an organization like this could be silent about so many Russian atrocities (even just this week alone) and then accuse the country who is clearly the victim of being the war criminal. In many significant ways, the information war IS the war. As the saying goes: the pen is mightier than the sword. HIMARS might be more powerful than the pen, but without the pen, without winning the hearts and minds of the west, these weapons systems and other kinds of support would evaporate.
Within hours, the Russian government was leveraging this content to justify their war in Ukraine and labeling Ukrainians as war criminals who act in violation of international law. They claim that this is exactly what they've been saying all along and closed out their tweet with a hashtag accusing Ukraine of being a country of Nazis.
In a frustrating twist, Oksana Pokalchuk (the head of Amnesty International in Ukraine) released a very strong statement condemning the report. She says that Amnesty Ukraine did not prepare the report and they did not provide any data for it. All data came from "international researchers." The Ukrainian office did not participate in preparing or writing the report and their arguments against it were not taken into consideration. The Ukrainian office was not sent any working version of the report and did not publish or translate it. Pokalchuk added that they "are extremely saddened by the fact that after all possible arguments against this report from our side, we have not been heard." I don't know about the innerworkings of the organization, but it does seem strange that the branch closest to the events would not be consulted.
"Let them be like chaff before the wind,
with the angel of the LORD driving them away!
Let their way be dark and slippery,
with the angel of the LORD pursuing them!"

Burn cleaner, longer and brighter with our home fragrance care guide. Extend the life of your favorite fragrances, prevent tunneling and scent spaces beautifully by following our guide for Voluspa candles and diffusers.
o Trim candle wicks to 1/4" before each use.
o With each candle use, always burn long enough to liquefy to the sides of the vessel (which may take a few hours). This will prevent uneven burning or tunneling.
o Use a candle plate or coaster to protect surfaces. Never put a candle directly on a surface that is flammable or could be damaged by heat or oil.
o Wicks may move or shift away from the center after the wax has liquified. Extinguish the flame and gently nudge back in place using a wick trimmer.
o Do not burn candles in or near a draft. Keep candles away from curtains or anything that could ignite (books, home décor, clothing, etc.)
o Always keep candles in sight when in use. If fragrance is desired but will remain out of sight, Reed Diffusers and Room & Body Sprays are great alternatives.
o Keep candles and diffusers away from children and pets.
o Never move a burning candle. The candle container and wax can become extremely hot when in use. Allow the candle to cool and wax to solidify before moving.
o Use lids to help keep the wick and wax clean of any excess debris and dust. Always remove wick trimmings, matches, etc. before burning.

Exipur Review
This review is for anybody aiming to shed fat, gain power and also drop weight with a brand-new dietary supplement. When I saw one of my colleagues had actually lost enough weight in the last month or so, exipure was brought to my interest. I informed her that it resembled she had lost 20 extra pounds of pure fat around her mid-section.
She informed me concerning Exipure and also how it has actually changed her life in a highly positive way. This all-natural formula assists enhance brown adipose tissue, which sheds fat quickly while suppressing long-term cravings for substantial weight loss outcomes. Every one of this is accomplished without any harmful side effects of prescription diet regimen tablets or serious wellness issues associated with most other weight reduction supplements.
Lessening Hunger
As any type of dieter recognizes, it's virtually impossible to lose weight unless you can manage your appetite and decrease your desires for unhealthy foods. This is a vital reason that so many people fall short to slim down with other weight-loss supplements or prescription medications.
Exipure works uniquely due to the fact that it promotes the development of brownish adipose tissue (BAT) degrees normally, which decreases hunger far more properly than various other techniques. I have yet to discover an additional item that comes even near what this pill can do when it pertains to decreasing appetite pains, particularly those late-night munchies that screw up most diet regimens! The makers of Exipure advise taking 2 tablets of this supplement prior to bed every evening to avoid late-night snacks.
Boosting Energy Levels
Several Exipure evaluations on the internet state that of the most significant advantages is boosting power levels, specifically for people who exercise hard or spend lengthy hours at their workdesks. This functions because BAT aids transform white fat cells right into healthy brownish adipose tissue and shed them off. It does so normally as well as safely by mimicking your body's natural process for tightening up loosened skin, offering you a lean feel and look, and boosting your power levels.
One more thing I like concerning this formula is that it does not simply concentrate on suppressing hunger to promote weight reduction, such as with other products such as Phentermine. It also provides a natural energy increase, making it easier for me to get those exercises in even when I'm weary or simply not feeling up to going into the gym that day.
Burning Fat Quickly and also Naturally
According to researchers at Vanderbilt University, excess body fat gets turned right into adipose cells– or else known as white fat– which isn't capable of metabolizing sugar efficiently like brown adipose tissue (BAT) does. The best method to stay clear of these concerns is by increasing your brown fat degrees via natural methods that don't consist of intrusive surgical treatment or unsafe prescription medicines.
Eliminating Belly Fat Fast
According to the makers of Exipure, this formula is made to target tummy fat by naturally improving BAT ( brownish fat) degrees. As any person that has ever tried reducing weight can tell you, additional pounds obtain stored in the stomach first before they begin approaching somewhere else on your body. The factor for this isn't just because it's very easy for excess fat to gather in your abdominal area however likewise because some areas are safeguarded by hormones that contribute to stubborn love handles and other undesirable down payments of fat.
Fortunately is that Exipure collaborates with your body's hormonal process to promote weight-loss and also burning stomach fat as rapidly as feasible. According to the product's web site, this formula makes use of unique active ingredients such as Garcinia Mangostana, EGCG from Green Tea Extract, as well as Capsaicin from Chile Pepper to naturally enhance brownish fat degrees with no harmful side effects. This is what I like regarding products that come straight from relied on makers who do not just duplicate and paste the exact same advertising content that you see on the majority of various other websites.
Weight Reduction Results
When it comes to weight-loss supplements, the most crucial point is whether they function, which is why I've consisted of a minimum of one Exipure evaluation that shows what other individuals experienced by utilizing this formula. According to this client testimonial, the individual lost 65 extra pounds in simply under four months by complying with a low-calorie diet strategy while taking two capsules prior to every dish. What's even more excellent concerning this testimonial is that he maintained his freshly slim number after stopping using this supplement since it targets the actual reason for excessive weight instead of masking its signs.
You'll discover other Exipure reviewsonline saying just how this supplement helped them shed as long as 30 pounds in 4 weeks, which is a rate of 1.5 pounds each day. Even if you're skeptical concerning these results, I assume it's secure to claim that they'll produce at least a 10-pound weight loss even when used without diet plan as well as workout.
Consumer Testimonials
One Exipure testimonial from a client going by the name Robert M claimed this product supported his new healthy and balanced way of living by improving power degrees so he could educate longer and more challenging daily. He went from being overweight with no confidence to shedding 45 pounds of fat within 3 months while adhering to a low-calorie diet regimen plan for the majority of this time. He additionally handled to maintain the weight off after stopping using this supplement by going running and biking daily.
Another Exipure testimonial from a individual named G claims he utilized to be a problem drinker but quit cold turkey once he began taking these fat burning supplements. He likewise added that it aided him control his consuming routines to stick to a healthier diet regimen that really did not force him to count calories. What's even more fascinating concerning his story is that he managed to shed 30 extra pounds in 5 months, ultimately transforming his life for the better due to the fact that now he functions as an designer as opposed to being out of work like previously.
Exipure was brought to my focus when I saw one of my coworkers had shed sufficient weight in the last month or so. I told her that it looked like she had actually shed 20 pounds of pure fat around her mid-section.
According to researchers at Vanderbilt University, excess body fat gets turned into adipose tissue– or else recognized as white fat– which isn't qualified of metabolizing glucose efficiently like brown adipose tissue (BAT) does. The factor for this isn't just due to the fact that it's simple for excess fat to accumulate in your abdominal area yet also because some locations are secured by hormonal agents that contribute to persistent love handles and other unwanted deposits of fat.
The good news is that Exipure functions with your body's hormonal procedure to promote weight loss and burning stomach fat as promptly as feasible.

These combined credits give your co-op a great opportunity to offset their upfront installation costs, giving them more flexibility when it comes time for budgeting.
Additionally, the New York Solar Bill of Rights grants homeowners a variety of protections when it comes to their solar system installations. This includes ensuring that no one can be denied access to solar energy because of their religion, race, or creed. It also allows homeowners to connect directly to the grid and receive credit for the excess electricity they produce.
NY co-ops and condos that are interested in making this switch should contact their local utility provider to learn about other incentives and programs available in their area. With these incentives in place, homeowners can take advantage of affordable renewable energy and help reduce carbon emissions throughout the state. With a few simple steps, NY co-ops and condos have an opportunity to make a difference by switching over to solar energy.

The June Bug also known as the May Beetle start to make an appearance in May to early July. They get the name "June Bug" becuase they show up the heaviest in the month of June. This beetle is most active at night and hatch from larvae in the springtime. The female will lay 60-75 eggs underground and after 18 days the eggs hatch out and the new larvae spend the next nine months in three stages of larval growth and come into the world as a newly hatched June bug around springtime. The larvae is a delicacy to skunks, moles and birds.
June bugs are not harmful to humans but can be a nuisance for business owners. This bug flies around bright lights, well lit windows & porch lights. They are very noisy and can be frightening to people coming into places of business.
Other problems effected by the June Bug are the shrubs and trees outside of residential homes and commercial buildings. Also, these hard shell pests can cause damage to lawn roots during the larvea stage and again because these beetles come out at night and then disappear in the daylight, can be very difficult to control them.
Quick Tips to Get Ahead of June Bug Season
- Search for larvae. The dead grass is the best indicator of the larvae presence. Remove a section of it and look for C-shaped grubs. It is much easier to destroy June bugs at this stage of their life cycles.
- If there isn't a heavy infestation then take a more preventive approach. This involves using insecticides that are less toxic and can be applied to kill larvea only. The only condition is the grass should be green.
- Set traps to reduce June bug population and preventing the new ones. June bug traps can be homemade and easy to use. Fill as many jars as possible with soapy water and set them under the plants preferred by June bugs. The insects will drop there and unable to climb out.
- Install bug zappers. LED bulbs will attract June bugs, be captured and electrocuted. June bugs are big enough, that is why you should select large-size zappers.
- To kill the grubs, apply an insectcides that contains carbaryl or trichlorfon in September. At this time, they are still close enough to the soil surface to be susceptible to an insecticide.

Why does the MIKE software not find my GPU?
If the GPU is not recognized by the MIKE software, it may be due to the following reasons:
#01 - An outdated GPU driver
An outdated GPU driver does not work with the given version of the MIKE software. Please try updating the driver via the NVIDIA download page
Note: Some tools may report the GPU driver to be the latest even if it is not. Therefore, always check which driver version is installed by going to the device manager - see example in Fig. 1 - the last 5 digits show the driver version - e.g. in this case 398.36. Compare with the latest driver version provided in the NVIDIA download page
Fig. 1 Compare your driver version with latest version provided in the NVIDIA download page
#02 - MIKE software not supporting the GPU
For example, from MIKE Zero Release 2021 and onwards only NVIDIA GPUs of computation capability 5.2 or higher are supported. A list of GPUs and their computation capability is found here: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus. As NVIDIA plans to discontinue the support for several generations of GPU cards, we advise all our users to start upgrading to GPU cards with a computation capacity of 5.2 and above.
Note: The expiry date for the GPU option in the license file follows the SMA expiry date.
If the GPU has been successfully recognized by the MIKE software, then the "Parallelization" tab in the "Launch Settings" dialogue in the respective MIKE FM editor will look like example in Fig 2 (left). Otherwise, it will look like example in Fig. 2 (right)
