Thrill Seeker Brides Set Their Wedding Gowns on Fire After Saying 'I Do' — Watch
True love lit a fire under two brides — literally.
On Oct. 13, April Choi, 32, and Bethany Byrnes, 28, tied the knot in Iowa with a twist: They set their wedding dresses on fire — while they were still wearing the gowns — for a ceremony that guests will not soon forget.
In an SWNS video of the dramatic nuptials, the brides clasped hands as a voice boomed, “Fire extinguishers ready?”
“You may now light the brides,” the officiant said. Two guests knelt down with burning torches to approach the long trains of the gowns.
“Three, two, one. Go,” he called. The guests touched the torches to the trains, and the flames billowed into large fires. The women remained still, looking into each other’s eyes as the blazes whipped behind their backs and the crowd cheered.
As the fires raged in the SWNS video, the women at last hopped out of their dresses and out of danger. Both were wearing pants under the gowns. With the help of their guests, they tried to extinguish the fires by rolling up the remains of the dresses.
“Congratulations again, you too,” the officiant concluded. “It could be warm, people.”
Choi and Byrnes met in February 2012, and started dating in July 2013, according to their page on The Knot. Choi popped the question four times unsuccessfully — though Byrnes did accept the engagement ring as a birthday present on the fourth try — until she finally got a yes in December 2016.
The brides listed February 2014 as the month when “Beth agrees to be put in a wedding dress and lit on fire.”

“We tried to get [the fires] to match evenly, but mine ran up first and Bethany’s took a while but it slowly burnt up the skirt,” Choi told SWNS.com. “I have never seen two brides do something like this. I don’t know many same-sex marriages first of all.”
The couple’s parents “were very, very nervous,” she added.
“I have done fire performance for fun and professionally, but as I watched the fuel being poured on April’s dress I couldn’t help but think it was a ton of fuel to be wearing,” Byrnes recalled to the news service. “You just have to repeat in your head that it’s fine, you’ve done this before and all of the safety has been figured out. It really is safe.”
“Watching the flames creep up your wife’s gown is not something you can ever forget,” she said to SWNS.
The brides reportedly wore cotton leggings and pulled up their hair as safety precautions. They had detached and reattached duck cloth to their gowns.
Byrnes posted on Facebook, “Thank you to our awesome wedding party acting as fire and fuel safeties, my big sister for lighting me on fire, Jake for being on point with the fire extinguisher and to Harmonic Threads for making awesome fire-retardant legging that totally saved my leg.”
“Every wedding I shoot is different, but this is way out,” photographer Michael Huang said, according to The Kansas City Star. “It was an honor to be able to capture this beautiful moment.” | <urn:uuid:2f1a549c-fd90-4b31-846e-380ec0bc104b> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://people.com/human-interest/thrill-seeker-brides-set-wedding-gowns-on-fire/ | 2021-11-28T18:23:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358570.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128164634-20211128194634-00430.warc.gz | en | 0.97145 | 795 | [

Château de Chambord
We arrived at Château de Chambord just after it closed – this was perfect timing as it meant the sun was shining on our view of the château from the campervan car park. At 11 euros for 24 hour parking, it’s quite a view!
After a chilly start (the condensation on the van windows from breathing during the night had actually frozen), we went into the château and were amazed at the architecture. At the centre of the keep are two intertwined winding staircases – designed so that the servants would be out of sight. I managed to see one anyway…
Below you can see the view from the bottom of both staircases looking up.
From the top of the château we could see Amelie (hidden behind the trees in the top left of this photo) and the fairytale-like details of the castle.
What I really like about Château de Chambord is the symmetry. The rooms in the keep are equally split, and if you were to divide the rest of the castle into six squares, each square would be the same size as the keep. Here’s a handy fire escape map to show you what I mean!
The other thing I loved was that some of the staircases were very Labyrinth-esque! | <urn:uuid:93b5c088-aef1-436a-a715-5fa8f3b683bf> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.travelpaddlecamp.com/single-post/2018/03/21/ch%C3%A2teau-de-chambord | 2021-11-28T18:35:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358570.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128164634-20211128194634-00430.warc.gz | en | 0.976339 | 283 | [

Seattle Drain Cleaning and Clog Removal Services
If your drain or toilet is backed up and you can’t seem to get them cleared out yourself, call the experts at South West Plumbing.
Most homes in Seattle have a plumbing access port called a clean-out located just outside the house. From here our experienced drain technicians can perform a drain camera inspection to first inspect your drain & sewer system for blockages or other faults. Afterward we can use hydro-jetting or rooting to clear your drain so you can get back to your daily routine. In most cases, this operation can be performed from the outside of your home.
Your Safety First
Should we need to access your bathroom, kitchen or utility room, we take the utmost caution to keep you and your family safe with our no contact social distancing policy. All of our technicians are required to wear boot coverings, masks and gloves before entering your home.
For any affected areas, we cover the work area with towels or tarps to minimize dirt and once the job is done, we take extra care to clean up any mess left behind. If your drain is clogged, call 206-932-1777 today or request your appointment with us online » | <urn:uuid:20ab9e85-b5d1-4422-b8bf-5975dd828508> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.southwestplumbing.biz/drain-sewer/drain-cleaning/ | 2021-11-30T08:18:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358966.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20211130080511-20211130110511-00110.warc.gz | en | 0.932716 | 251 | [

Juan Matheus, Global Product Manager Baltek products says:
“We are not only pleased to continue supplying the market with our balsa products from sustainable resources but also that our sustainable forestry plan has ensured the availability of prime balsa wood to meet the growing demand of our customers even in this challenging year filled with supply chain concerns. Passing the annual review, it proves our commitment to the FSC-requirements and that we just believe to do the right thing – not only for the environment but also for the communities we work in and for the standards of the industry.”
Its structural core material Baltek SBC comes from 100% controlled plantations as 3A Composites Core Materials owns and manages several thousand ha of FSC-certified balsa plantations in Ecuador (FSC-C019065) and Papua New Guinea (FSC-C125018) allowing to be the only one in the market with full traceability of the wood from the seed to the finished good and ensuring the product’s quality from legal plantations. Providing a natural material that is biodegradable, 3A Composites Core Materials contributes to the carbon neutrality efforts of the industries they serve to ensure the circular economy.
The company even goes beyond the requirements. Its Baltek SBC is the first carbon-neutral core material in the world capturing more GHG emissions than caused by the production and making therefore a clear positive impact on the climate.
3A Composites Core Materials’ sustainability plan at the forestry sites is in line with three areas of the United Nations SDGs and FSC Certification Principles & Criteria and covers significant reduction of environmental pollution, the conservation of natural resources and the economic, social and ecological well-being of the communities in which the company operates. Its sustainable activities were proven recognized when awarded with the SACHA Acknowledgements for Responsible Forest Management and Responsible Wood Innovations Award and the United Nations Global Compact Award for Best Practices for Sustainable Development.

Oh my word Cuz! I’m so incredibly worried about you:( I’ve been waiting for this news for a couple of days, and now I’m kind of wishing i didn’t get the news:(
(Let me just interrupt my little letter here and explain something to you…Kiki and Dee are my two cousins who live in the States. My uncle married an American, and while they lived in Swaziland for a long time they moved to the US when Dee and I were about 16. Kiki is 2 years younger than Dee. We get along like a house on fire and I love them dearly. Ok, now back to the letter)
Earlier this week we were informed that you were in hospital. The details were sketchy at best, all I knew was that there was bleeding in your brain and that things weren’t looking good. You were admitted to a hospital in Italy, as that’s where you are currently stationed, and your parents and Dee were making the 6 leg journey of 2 days to get to you. We’ve all been waiting with bated breath to find out exactly what’s going on. And we’ve all been praying.
So tonight I finally heard from Dee after they were able to visit you in hospital and speak to the doctors. Turns out you were born with a knot of veins and arteries very deep inside your brain. After many years this has finally started hemorrhaging. The tricky thing is that it’s so deep in your brain that they can’t operate without causing damage to a lot of other parts of your brain. The good news is that they’re starting you on a non-invasive procedure to see if that might help…but they have no answers…they just don’t know if it will work. If it doesn’t, surgery is your only option and who knows what damage that will cause.
I feel sorry for your folks and Dee. They’re in a strange country where they don’t understand the language, so while you are receiving the best care possible the hospital is not being very helpful towards them, because they’re not italian. The fact that when you are awake, your incredible sense of humor is still alive and kicking is serving as a bit of stress relief for everyone.
So my dearest Kiki….my heart is in a very sad place tonight. Please always remember that you are in our prayers. Wish we could be there with you, but obviously logistics won’t allow for that. Remember that we love you very much! | <urn:uuid:948e81e6-6d7c-4070-a9db-51448532967b> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://rubyletters.com/tag/news/ | 2021-12-03T12:48:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362879.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20211203121459-20211203151459-00110.warc.gz | en | 0.982343 | 549 | [

Types of Pain Relievers That Come Naturally
When people are in pain most of the times they rush to the different pharmaceuticals to get a pain reliever. These pharmaceutical drugs work very efficiently in reducing pain but most cases people who use them for a long time get addicted. As a result of the effects of the chemicals in the synthetic drugs in our body people are now so much interested in using very natural methods of pain relieving. In most cases when people are planning on other ways to deal with pain in their bodies including carrying out research on some chemicals which cause less harm in the body many people are now of the idea that only the natural methods of killing pain can be useful.
Some of the extracts on the herb tree can use for relieving pain at a high-speed rate in our bodies and have been found useful by many doctors. Such products are considered as natural since they are taken from plants and are less intrusive in our bodies since they can be applied for time without one becoming dependent on them. The oil can also be applied tropically on joints and other parts of the body which are ailing. Spicy foods like pepper have always been considered as pain inflicting food substance but have shown great significance in fighting illness in the body.
Pepper is very active and this makes it very possible to attack the neurotransmitters of pain so that the effect of pain in the body is significantly reduced at all the times. Some of the types of pepper have been discussed in the lab, and at last they are known to bring about blood clotting and pain relief in the case of an injury. When a person is in pain they can opt to use the hot or cold therapy depending on the kind of pain they have.
When one is in pain due to inflammation they can use hot water to facilitate the fluids that are in the vessels and then cold water to constrict the tubes. It is evident that many of the things a person can do to make him warm in the body end up increasing the rate of flow of blood from the veins. It have been proven by researchers that when the body is lacking a crucial vitamin D in the body they tend to experience a lot of pain time to time.
Standing in the sun, especially in the morning, is the most efficient way of ensuring that one has sufficient vitamin D in the body. In many cases when people involve themselves in reflection can fight depression. It is also believed and research done that bone broth is an efficient way of dealing with depression. | <urn:uuid:35e3edb4-5125-4090-b11e-5a53268932d4> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://vpnhowto.info/2018/06/03/lessons-learned-from-years-with-wellness/ | 2021-12-03T14:10:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362879.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20211203121459-20211203151459-00110.warc.gz | en | 0.971974 | 502 | [

The AEM 21-773C Performance Cold Air Intake System produces horsepower and torque gains by replacing your vehicle's restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing. This air intake system was designed, tuned and dyno-tested to fit specific Mazda Mazda3 models. Air enters the system through an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter for outstanding air flow, filtration and performance. The air filter is located in the original airbox space and is protected by a heat shield which is designed to reduce intake air temperature and adapts to the factory cold air scoop. The air intake tube is constructed from mandrel-bent aluminum featuring a durable gunmetal gray powder coated finish. This air intake system was developed to accommodate the engine's factory emissions control devices including the mass air sensor and engine breather hose. The tapered cylinder shaped AEM Dryflow air filter is made from an oil-free, synthetic filter media that can be used for up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is needed (depending on driving conditions). The air intake system is easy to install with commonly available tools and it is backed by AEM's Lifetime Limited Warranty. Some AEM air intakes are not legal for sale or use in California and other states adopting California emission standards, while others are 50 state legal. View the 21-773C vehicle applications to determine the legal status for each vehicle.
Tuned and dyno-tested to improve acceleration and engine sound

GREEN BROOK - A state appellate court on Monday upheld the convictions of three men for the roles they played in orchestrating the 2008 kidnapping and gruesome murder of a Green Brook woman in a robbery gone wrong.
Jamel Lewis, 40, of Newark, Robert Harris, 34, and Sharif Torres, 30, both of Philadelphia, were convicted of the murder of Tanya Worthy. Lewis was sentenced to life in prison, while Harris and Torres were both sentenced to 60 years.
A fourth defendant in the case, Rashawn Bond, 42, of Newark, was tried separately, found guilty, lost his appeal and is serving a life sentence in state prison for the murder.
The four will not be eligible for parole for at least 40 years.
In a 69-page opinion, the appellate court rejected the trio's claims that they did not receive a fair trial because of self-incriminating statements that were made, inadmissible evidence of cell phone calls was introduced during the trial and both the judge and prosecutor made mistakes. The appellate court ruled that the arguments were "without merit" and that only "harmless" errors were made.
On the evening of Oct. 28, 2008, Worthy ate in a Newark restaurant, leaving about 6:15 p.m. She placed a take-out order for her boyfriend Rahim Jackson, with whom she lived in Green Brook; rather than wait, she asked the waitress to call her when the order was ready. She left the restaurant and was never seen alive again, court papers say.
Jackson was home watching television. At about 8:40 p.m., he heard the garage door open and thought it was strange that Worthy was coming home, because he had tried to reach her several times and learned from the restaurant that she hadn't picked up his order.
When he opened the door to the garage, he saw Worthy's car in the driveway. A masked individual, who was holding a gun, got out of the car and told him not to move, but Jackson closed and locked the door. From inside the house, Jackson saw the masked man get back into the the car, which then backed out of the driveway. Jackson ran to a neighbor's house and asked her to call police.
About three hours later police and other emergency responders arrived at a field opposite a parking lot in Elizabeth and found a white 2005 BMW convertible engulfed in flames. Once the blaze was extinguished, they discovered Tanya Worthy's severely-burned body in the rear passenger seat.
An investigation revealed she had been shot three times, twice in the chest and once in the abdomen, prior to being burned.
The Union County Prosecutor's Office argued that Lewis had planned with his cousin, Bond, to rob and kidnap Worthy. According to the prosecution, Lewis and Bond believed that by kidnapping Worthy, they could get access to Jackson to rob him because they they thought he was a wealthy drug dealer. Lewis and Bond asked for help from Harris and Torres.
That night Worthy visited Bond, with whom she was romantically involved, court papers say. Lewis, Harris and Torres then stormed into Bond's home, robbed her and kidnapped her, then drove to her Green Brook home. But their plan to conduct a home invasion in Green Brook was botched and then they decided to drive to Elizabeth to "destroy the evidence," court papers say.
The prosecution used cell phone records to show that all of the defendants had traveled from Newark to Green Brook and then to Elizabeth.

Board Packet Review: April 27, 2021
Lest we think these are going away -- here's my thoughts on the upcoming board packet for Tuesday night's meeting.
First, let's talk about same odd choices that our current village president is making with regard to how these final meetings are set-up. I've noted the oddnesses with the budget workshops, but did you notice there's no SEPARATE meeting for the budget hearing this year? In every previous year the public hearing (required by IL code -- and our own village code) has been run as a separate meeting. Here's the 2019 agenda (which looks remarkably like the 2020 agenda and the 2018 agenda, the 2017 agenda -- you see my point.)
Can the hearing be 'inside' a board meeting? I honestly don't know -- but with the cancellation of the Budget Workshop #2 (when they redid the meeting on Friday, they effectively denied the existence of Budget Workshop #2 -- thus it didn't happen) and this odd placement of the public hearing -- it makes me wonder why this year everything is being done differently.
Without further ado -- let's see what this board packet contains.
Roll Call - Establish Quorum
Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag
Public Hearing on the Village’s proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2021-2022.
(See previous note about how odd this is.)
Public Comments (Not to exceed 30 minutes as an item)
CONSENT AGENDA: Note: Items under the Consent Agenda are considered and enacted on a singlemotion. Thereisnoseparatediscussionoftheseitemspriortothe Board vote unless: 1) a Board Member requests that an item be removed from the Consent Agenda for separate action or 2) a citizen requests an item be removed and this request is, in turn, proposed by a member of the Village Board for separate action.
1. Request Approval of Bill Lists:
Five months of Debit Card purchases that haven't been presented to the board, despite the fact that four of these months were already closed and presented as complete to the board. One of the shocking things I learned from our CAO is that she doesn't actually close prior months -- this means that expenses can be booked to prior months (long after the board approved the financials) and the board/public is none the wiser to these changes. Literally, the only way you'd see these changes is if you did the exercise I did when we went from September to October and line up the last approved YTD total and see if that plus the next month's expenses equaled the next month's YTD #'s.
Now, since our CAO has previously told me that she has extensive experience in municipal accounting, I inquired if this was a normal practice -- as I know it is absolutely prohibited in publicly traded companies to adjust prior periods without notice to the board and the SEC. She claimed it was a 'default in the new accounting software.' Well -- I naturally did a little research. Municipalities follow the accounting rules outlined by GASB which states that prior period adjustments would need to be noted in the financials as "Prior period adjustments" --- this would seem that we are not in compliance with the GASB standards.
a. Accounts Debit Card Purchases Dated September, 2020 in the Amount of $2,728.30
This was ALREADY approved on 12/22/2021 -- for the EXACT same amount of the village hall card only. In December, they also approved the RedTail card -- but while the activity is in the report, it isn't on the agenda. So, weird.
b. Accounts Debit Card Purchases Dated October, 2020 in the Amount of $5,671.96
c. Accounts Debit Card Purchases Dated November, 2020 in the Amount of $3,596.10
d. Accounts Debit Card Purchases Dated December, 2020 in the Amount of $4,190.86
e. Accounts Debit Card Purchases Dated January, 2021 in the Amount of $3,783.13
For the rest of these, it looks like the amounts combine the Village Hall Card and the RedTail card -- and the details are in the reports separately. My big question here is what is RedTail buying for village hall so much and Lakewood Utilities:
October: Non-Redtail charges on the RedTail's Debit card: $505.80
November: Non-RedTail charges on the RedTail Debit card: $515.03
December: Non-RedTail charges on the RedTail Debit card: $3,617.57
January: Non-RedTail charges on the RedTail Debit card: $1,537.61
Does that seem odd?
Also -- why are we paying Leading IT with a credit card? Shouldn't that be a monthly invoice?
f. Accounts Payable Invoices Dated April 28, 2021 in the Amount of $305,349.24
2. Request Approval of Financial Statements: a. Village Financial Statements for the January, 2021
b. Village Financial Statements for the February, 2021 3. Items Removed from Consent Agenda - If Any
AGENDA ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION 4. Motion to Approve Ordinance No. 2021-07 – An Ordinance Approving the Village of Lakewood Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Honestly, I do not think this board should approve this budget. I do not believe that it has been properly notified to the public -- I think the budget's preparation has been slapped together and is an ever changing target as error upon error has been found. We didn't actually have the Budget Workshops as we normally do with discussions and questions -- that might have tried to get the budget closer to reality. And truth is since it does not show this current year to date (and the amendment is lacking at least $85K in known expenses) the fund balance projections are too far off to make a reasonable decision.
It should also be noted that the budget amendment did not pass in Friday Night's Meeting -- it appears to amend the budget, you need 2/3 of the corporate authority -- which totals 7, 2/3rds of which is 5) Odom and Eddy voted no and Phil did not vote -- so, the budget was not in fact amended.
5. Acknowledgement of Child Advocacy Centers Memorandum of Understanding and the Child Advocacy Board Protocol
This appears to be an update and extension of the understanding originally signed in October 2020. What I want to note here is the tracking changes that are shown -- this is an example of transparency to the board and the public that if things are updated, we can easily follow the changes. Thank you, Sgt. Winters!
Then after the Department and Trustee Comments -- the board will close the meeting. And then...
16. Oaths of Office Administered to David Stavropoulos, April Runge, Michael Fischer, and Tricia Babischkin at RedTail Golf Club 7900 RedTail Drive, Lakewood, IL 60014
No -- they did not update the numbering of this agenda. What we don't know is if, they will keep Zoom going to be able to share the swearing in of the United4Lakewood Team (this is OFFICIALLY the last time I'll call us that). I do know that we think about 50 people will be able to be at RedTail, and the night should be lovely -- so maybe we can spread outside a bit. We will be sworn in and I hope as many of you who can will join us Thursday at the Raue for our first meeting -- where spoilers, Dave is going to share the plan for 2021-2022! | <urn:uuid:22524483-a3b9-46c7-89d8-3856deaa818a> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.unitedlakewood.com/post/board-packet-review-april-27-2021 | 2021-12-03T14:14:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362879.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20211203121459-20211203151459-00110.warc.gz | en | 0.953479 | 1,624 | [

This is an Explainer Video I have created to explain part of my Inquiry around building word knowledge and fluency for struggling readers.
I hope you enjoyed my video. I learnt news skills around using pictures created on a whiteboard to create an animation. This is a great way for learners to share what they have learnt and their process of learning. I wonder if this type of animation could be used effectively to show mathematical thinking? Or the process of creating a piece of art? I would love to try getting learners to take photos of their art at different stages and turn this into an animation of the process.
I also think this is something I could share with other teachers that they might want to use with their learners or to demonstrate their own learning. I also learnt that you do not have to be a great artist to animate your learning. | <urn:uuid:3ce500e1-0378-47e6-8a1a-4ec24d907c32> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | http://clarelledavis.blogspot.com/2016/05/explainer-video-building-word-knoweldge.html | 2021-12-05T01:07:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363134.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20211205005314-20211205035314-00430.warc.gz | en | 0.97975 | 169 | [

One of the most curious of Seyfert's original sample of galaxies remains NGC 1275, which has some of the properties associated with Seyfert nuclei, radio galaxies, and even BL Lacertae objects. One of its oddest properties is this extensive system of ionized gas filaments, which has variously been interpreted as evidence for an explosive outflow, slow inflow as gas in the surrounding cluster of galaxies cools, and even for heating by a high-speed collision with another galaxy. This image provided a wide-angle contrast to the following HST view.
This CCD image was obtained using the 4-m Mayall telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory with the Cryogenic Camera, through a narrow-band filter emphasizing the emission line at the redshift of NGC 1275 itself (thus rejecting gas in the foreground high-velocity system). The field of view is 2.6 arcminutes across. Details were provided in Keel, AJ 88, 1579 (1983).

B Lab begins Vote Every Day campaign
Non-profit organization B Lab has begun a digital advertising campaign called “Vote Every Day” that encourages Canadian consumers to support companies that “use business as a force for good.” The organization advocates for certified B Corporations, which meet certain standards for social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability. The campaign is being conducted in association with Danone Canada, Lunapads International and Chandos, among others. The initiative consists of ads on Facebook and Instagram, including six-second online videos addressing specific issues such as the environment, workers and local businesses. The ads direct consumers to a campaign website for additional information. The campaign was developed by Fortnight Collective in collaboration with Republik.
“People have a voice that gives them the power to vote for what they believe in every day by supporting brands that reflect their values,” said Anthea Kelsick, chief marketing officer at B Lab. “People deserve to know what their money supports, and by choosing B Corps, they can rest assured the products and services they purchase are creating an equitable and just society.” | <urn:uuid:d36295aa-808f-4685-9973-6686aa4d5bd5> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.adnews.com/38640 | 2021-12-06T17:09:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363309.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20211206163944-20211206193944-00110.warc.gz | en | 0.968138 | 235 | [

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, every student is aware that assessment books and practice papers are of utmost importance in helping them succeed. However, it is a pity that students are unaware of how these resources can be utilised to the maximum potential to strive for those ‘A’ grades. A useful resource when underutilised is as good as not being utilised at all as the opportunities that it presents are not being grasped rightfully.
So, how can students utilise their assessment books and practice papers to the best of their ability?
LEARNING THE CONCEPTS
The biggest mistake (and the most common) that students make is to rush into beavering away at their desk by completing one practice paper after another for every subject. This is dangerous as the amount of effort being put in only gives diminishing returns and the end-result further goes on to destroy hope in oneself and the joy for learning.
Before moving on to practice and master one’s skills, it is of utmost importance for the student to have a clear idea of the content and the concepts that are discussed in great detail in it. It is also essential for students to be able to differentiate the high-yield information from those that are not so significant while learning and in order for a student to accomplish, he needs to understand that not all information is created equal.
Achieving clarity in the concepts being given in the textbooks and/or lecture notes is the first step to achieving stellar results in examinations.
This is a crucial step to get pass and also a challenging one for almost every student. Examiners are keen on testing students’ ability to connect the dots by themselves and present the conceptual linking in their exam papers to derive the answers. For example, a single math question may test concepts like differentiation, geometrics and kinematics and such questions require students to understand that how these concepts are inter-linked to one another and according to that understanding, the student needs to implement the right techniques of solving the mathematical problem to arrive at the answer.
Every student in his learning journey will inevitably be confused about concepts or wrongly assume one thing to be something else. The beauty of learning is to essentially learn, unlearn and relearn concepts every now and then, and what is most important is to do it with enthusiasm.
On many occasions’ students may find themselves being unable to explain a concept that they have learnt to their peers and this is a sign that there are some logic gaps that have been created in the learning process. When working on practice papers and assessment books, if certain kind of questions are more challenging than others, students should take note of the pattern and revisit the respective topics to solidify the material before coming back to the question.
PUTTING TUTORS TO GOOD USE
There are numerous home tutors in Singapore who have the knowledge and expertise to guide students to achieve excellence. Unfortunately, many students try too much all by themselves and push their boundaries too far causing them to burn out at one point. Letting things snowball will never yield positive results. So, it is essential for students to seek the necessary help from home tutors to save their grades before it’s too late.
For students who are not struggling, private tuition will still be a great support as tuition teachers will be able to guide them with even better resources and teach them to adopt new learning techniques which can boost productivity.
Learning may be challenging but it’s equally as rewarding when students choose to be patient and persistent. A good student knows that studying smart is more important than studying hard and an even better student knows that he or she should never be afraid to ask for help and support when needed! | <urn:uuid:28ea3dbb-ac1f-4185-be16-f7e104e78e31> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.championtutor.com/blog/students-most-under-utilised-study-weapon-assessment-books-and-practice-papers/ | 2021-12-08T07:19:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363445.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20211208053135-20211208083135-00430.warc.gz | en | 0.963553 | 790 | [

Is there a day in the kitchen you can go without using a mixer grinder? No right? From waking up and making your cold coffee or a chocolate milkshake to preparing chutneys for breakfast to pureeing tomatoes and onions for lunch and dinner. This appliance can do every possible thing, and let’s be so thankful for this invention. However, have you ever found your family getting disturbed by the noise of the mixer grinder? That’s the only sad drawback of it. And that’s why I am going to explain to you how to reduce noise in mixer grinder.
Table of Contents
- What makes a Mixer Grinder Noisy?
- How to reduce noise in Mixer Grinder? Know it from the Expert
- How to Maintain a Mixer Grinder?
Well, I am going to give you all the insights you could possibly know from anywhere. Do you know what the best part is? These are all tried and tested remedies by our experts. So, there’s 100% accuracy in results. All I need from you is your precious time. I promise it will be worthwhile.
What makes a Mixer Grinder Noisy?
Before you get to a solution, you must identify the problem. So, let’s begin with identifying the potential reasons that make a mixer grinder noisy.
1. Mixer Grinders have a powerful motor
Mixer grinders are equipped with really powerful motors. The motor has fixed magnets and rotating electromagnets. The electromagnet rotates only 180 degrees, and hence the fixed magnets get flipped to ensure a complete rotation. This movement happens at a rapid pace so that all the ingredients get crushed and minced properly. This leads to the appliance getting noisy.
2. Mixer Grinder blades move at high speed
Are you aware of how fast a mixer grinder functions? Yes, that’s another reason for the appliance to get noisy. Mixer grinders run at about 20,000 RPM. To operate efficiently at such a high speed, the motor is obligated to work really hard. This entire mechanism ends in generating a lot of noise.
3. The vibrations of Mixer Grinders
When the motor functions at such a high speed, it makes the whole appliance vibrate. This means that the mixer grinder feet vibrates vigorously on the hard surface you have placed it on. So, yes, this gives birth to loud noise.
4. Grinding of heard ingredients
Crushing hard ingredients like peppercorn, ginger, sugar, etc., can create immense noise. Once you turn on the appliance, all the tough ingredients begin to rub against each other. The noise will certainly vary depending upon the ingredient and the jar material.
5. Mixer Grinder components
You are bound to face issues if the mixer grinder components are not of good quality. So yes, while you are trying to cut on the budget, be ready to face unpleasant consequences. I am not asking you to go all out on the spending. But with low price comes low quality as well. When manufacturers deliver affordability, they tend to compromise a bit on the quality of the product as well. They make use of cheap materials and bearings. Hence, when you avoid using a hi-end model, you also invite trouble with using a cheap one.
How to reduce noise in Mixer Grinder? Know it from the Expert
I wouldn’t lie by saying that you can make the noise disappear. However, I can give you some brilliant and easy ideas that will help you reduce the noise substantially. So, let’s find out how to reduce mixer grinder noise.
1. Keep the mixer grinder away from the wall
Be smart and keep your mixer grinder at a distance away from the wall. There’s a scientific reason behind it. The flatter the surface, the more noise it is capable of reflecting. The wall reflects the sound generated by a mixer grinder, and it further bounces around and creates even more noise. For this very reason, you must prevent placing the mixer grinder in a corner. There’s a reason why I am specifying about the ‘corner’. Because most people place it in a corner, and that’s an ideal situation for the sound waves to be at the maximum level.
2. Rubber feet can do the drill
Rubber works amazingly well in diminishing vibrations. The lesser the vibrations, the less noisy the appliance will be. Well, pick up your mixer grinder and have a look. Most probably, the appliance will have rubber feet. Considering this aspect, manufacturers ensure that every mixer grinder comes along with rubber feet. Rubber is known to be an acoustic noise-dampening element. It is capable of making drastic changes in the sound level.
3. Make use of a soundproof box
In my opinion, this is one of the most effective ways of dealing with a noisy mixer grinder. You can either get hold of one from the market or make it yourself. In either case, it is not an expensive affair. But placing the mixer grinder inside the soundproof box will solve your problem tremendously.
4. Soundproof the kitchen window
In most cases, you may not need this. However, I am considering extremity right now. This solution is for people who have their kitchen windows adjoining their neighbours. It will be a great idea to soundproof the kitchen windows. It will keep the noise completely inside your house and ensure your neighbours have no complaints whatsoever.
5. Place it on a sound dampening mat
When you are finding out the most effective solutions on how to reduce noise in mixer grinder, there is no way you can miss this one. Placing your mixer grinder on a sound damping mat is one of the smartest things you can do. We have already discussed how vibrations can lead to a really noisy mixer grinder. Using the sound dampening mats can make a huge difference. The reason being, once sound waves hit them, they do not vibrate. Because of this, they cut off the entire transmission. So, no vibration and no sound.
6. Use the mixer grinder at the right time
As silly as it sounds, using the mixer grinder at vague hours will only make it worse. If you start your day early, do not begin by using the mixer grinder at odd hours. For example, if you have woken up at 6 am and start preparing your breakfast and lunch at that hour. Keep the work of the mixer grinder for a later time. However, less noisy your appliance will be, there will be some omission of sound for sure. It will only end up disturbing the people in and around your house. Also, avoid using the mixer grinder in the afternoon, during peak hours of napping.
7. Use the right mixer grinder
How about using the best mixer grinder? Trust me; it makes a huge difference. Buying a dependable brand makes a huge difference. There’s a reason why Bajaj, Philips, Preethi Zodiac, Sujata, Philips are famous and promising. The exclusivity in the features is impressive. Noise control being one of them.

Collaboration between drug discovery groups from different sites, organizations and companies has become much more common recently. In some cases, virtual or semi-virtual companies are formed by outsourcing all, or a subset of, chemistry and biology services to contract research organizations (CROs). Distributing research in these ways can have profound advantages, but managing distributed research has unique challenges.
Mironid is a biotechnology company with distributed research operations that include core biology and chemistry teams located at two different sites, plus supplementary chemistry, biology and DMPK services contracted through external CROs. These scientists, working in many different locations, collaborate closely to apply an understanding of cell signaling to the design of tests that mirror the behavior of the living cell environment and identify compounds that can better treat target diseases. Informatics technology plays a key role, providing unified data collection and processing to enable seamless collaboration between the groups. This case study will explore how Mironid manages its data, projects and collaborations.
The work being done
Mironid’s discovery research focuses on developing novel small-molecule drugs to exploit new insights into phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzyme structure and function to target degenerative kidney diseases and chronic inflammatory diseases. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an orphan genetic indication that affects approximately 250,000 patients in the European Union and United States alone and causes major health issues, eventually leading to kidney failure for 50 percent of patients by the age of 55. Current clinical treatments do not adequately address the underlying cause of cyst formation to stop disease progression.
In humans, 24 PDE4 isoforms are encoded across four distinct genes (PDE4A-D). Each of these isoforms is characterized by regions of unique sequence, but follows an overarching structure of conserved regulatory domain expression which allows their grouping into “long” and “short” forms. While inhibition of PDE4 enzyme activity is a long-established method of influencing cell behavior, the inhibitors have always suffered from side effects caused by a lack of specificity of molecules binding to the catalytic site, which is near-identical among the 24 PDE4 isoforms. Small molecules that activate PDE4, on the other hand, had never been reported, until recent disclosure by Mironid [Omar et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U S A. 2019; 116: 13320–13329].
Mironid has developed insights into allosteric modulation of PDE4 enzymes that allow targeted activation or inhibition of selected subgroups of PDE4 isoforms. Of particular interest are compounds that can selectively activate PDE4 long forms, and thus decrease the levels of the second messenger, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), in key subcellular signaling complexes; these are termed LoAc compounds, standing for Long form Activators. The world’s first identification of selective small-molecule PDE4 long form activators provides a novel mechanism of action for the development of first-in-class molecules to treat diseases driven by aberrantly elevated levels of cAMP. These include several rare and orphan diseases, including ADPKD. The activation of PDE4 long isoforms by LoAc compounds reduces the concentration of cAMP in specific sub-cellular locations and reduces or reverses the formation of cysts in models of ADPKD.
The role of informatics
Informatics plays an important part in the drug discovery process. Proper collection, collation and reporting of results is imperative to show value from a project and provenance to the data. This can become increasingly complicated when compounds and data are being generated on multiple sites and by different organizations.
One of Mironid’s first actions was to establish an integrated, structure-searchable drug discovery database to secure its historical data and manage new data going forward. Mironid adopted the informatics platform, CDD Vault, as the company’s central data repository and informatics framework. This commercial solution is cloud-hosted for a zero footprint system that can provide access to authorized users anywhere in the world from a web browser.
Over the first few months, Mironid’s historical compound structures and data were transferred to the new database, in parallel with staff recruitment, setting up new labs, and scaling up the synthesis and testing of new molecules. From that point onward, new compounds, protocols and data were added to the database in real time as the standard way of sharing data within the company. This simplified the process of finding and cross-referencing data for particular compounds and interrogating the data by chemical structure, to identify structure-activity relationships and make informed decisions for the rapid optimization of lead molecules.
In order to work in the same efficient way with CRO partners, Mironid created isolated project spaces in its CDD Vault and granted access to selected CROs’ lead scientists, allowing them to securely upload and view the data they needed. By recording compound structures and experimental results directly in CDD Vault, they eliminated the security risk of emailing files back and forth, as well as the challenges of keeping data spreadsheets synchronized and current. Mironid’s CDD Vault users have access to their colleagues’ latest experimental results in real time, but only the data sets for which they have individually been authorized. This allows for a close collaboration with external partners, while ensuring that each partner has access to just the subset of data they need.
Results going forward
In 2017, Mironid secured an Innovate UK Biomedical Catalyst Award to co-fund the discovery of new LoAc PDE4 activators for the treatment of ADPKD. For this project, Mironid worked with a network of U.K. CROs to apply powerful computational modelling, X-ray crystallography and a high-quality library of over 12,000 diverse, drug-like screening molecules to generate a new wave of LoAc PDE4 allosteric modulators.
Screening data, chemical structures, analytical data, solubility and microsomal stability data were uploaded directly to CDD Vault by CRO partners, while biochemical profiles and cellular assay data were uploaded by Mironid. Data were immediately visible across sites, allowing rapid communication and decision making. In addition to data sharing, searching and retrieval, CDD Vault allowed the project team to readily view and analyze the various hit compounds in scatter graphs to help select the most attractive hits for progression based on their biological activity and physico-chemical properties, such as size, lipophilicity and predicted solubility.
The distributed project team rapidly identified multiple high-quality hit compounds. The hit compounds with the most attractive profiles were re-synthesized, and small arrays of analogs were prepared and tested to determine scope for further optimization within each series. After demonstrating scope for optimization, selected compounds from two distinct chemical series were progressed into cellular disease models and were shown to suppress cyst formation in 3D kidney cell culture, an in-vitro model of ADPKD.
By employing a unified informatics platform, the project team was able to coordinate expertise and resources across different sites and use all of the available data in day-to-day decision-making. Chemists and biologists were able to work together in a single computational environment, regardless of their physical location.
As the number of compounds evaluated expanded from hundreds into thousands, the CDD Vault database has continued to provide rapid feedback on queries based on single or combined search terms such as substructure, calculated physico-chemical properties, assay type or assay readout.
The Biomedical Catalyst co-funded project yielded a rich resource of diverse, drug-like LoAc compounds that activate PDE4 long forms, reduce cellular cAMP levels and suppress cyst formation in models of ADPKD. Modern informatics resources fostered these advances by providing infrastructure for researchers from different labs to collaborate in real time and coordinate their best combined efforts. Further optimization of these hit series is in progress within Mironid, with the aim of delivering improved therapies for ADPKD patients.

Nuheara is thrilled to announce the release of Focus, our latest upgrade for IQbuds BOOST™. Focus is a new feature that uses “audio beamforming” technology to isolate and enhance sounds directly in front of the BOOST user. The ideal use case for this application is for those looking to boost conversation clarity in noisy environments.
At loud dinner parties or restaurants, Nuheara’s existing Super Intelligent Noise Control (SINCTM) technology effectively suppresses or enhances audio from all directions based on frequency. However with Focus, users can also now choose to suppress noise specifically from behind them, thus enjoying better clarity from sounds directly ahead of them.
Consider situations where loud, nearby conversations and ambient noise muddle the speech of your direct conversation. Using Focus brings the sound directly in front of you into crystal clear focus.
(Click image to pause animation)Upgrade Firmware Here to Access the New Focus Feature
CE Week 2018 “Best in Show” Gets Better
IQbuds BOOSTTM were recently recognized by CE Week NY and Dealerscope as the “most advanced assistive listening device on the market today.” With the addition of Focus, 2018’s ‘best in show‘ from CE Week just got even better. Upgrade your firmware and web application today to enjoy even clearer conversations in noisy environments.
Guide for Effective Use of Focus
Below are a series of tips and best practices related to using Focus to achieve the best possible results.
How do you turn on Focus? On your IQbudsTM application, the “World” setting needs to be “on” to switch Focus on or off. Using the phone application, Focus can be toggled on or off. Additionally, the long tap-touch on the right earbud may be configured to toggle Focus on or off if desired. See figures below:
Is this an IQbuds BOOST-only feature? Yes, Focus is not available on IQbuds and is only available on IQbuds BOOSTTM.
Does Focus have any impact on Ear IDTM or vice versa? Focus works the best with Ear IDTM turned ON. The effect may be limited if Ear IDTM is OFF.
Which pre-configured location settings have Focus ON? Only the ‘Restaurant’ location setting has Focus turned on by default. For other locations, Focus can be turned on as shown in figure above.
Are there any conditions for it to work? Yes, Focus works best when the person speaking is close and in front, and background noise is behind.
Other recommendations: Focus is not recommended when outdoors in windy environments, or in situations where full peripheral awareness is needed (ex: driving, cycling, etc.)
Is there any impact on the call-quality? No, the call quality is not impacted by the Focus feature. | <urn:uuid:7b98ab60-4c52-4caa-803f-dd65233b5942> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.nuheara.com/usa/news/beamforming-audio-focus-upgrade/ | 2021-11-27T08:59:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358153.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20211127073536-20211127103536-00470.warc.gz | en | 0.919619 | 602 | [

Treyarch has delivered sniper recoil to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War as section of the game’s modern massive update.
Black Ops Cold War Multiplayer followers have known as for some structure of sniper recoil ever on the grounds that the recreation got here out closing year.
Flinch is the disruption triggered to your goal when you are hit through enemy fire. Sniper rifles are viewed through some as overpowered in Black Ops Cold War due to the fact of their wonderful lack of flinch.
In patch notes for the update that went stay overnight, Treyarch stated it had revised sniper rifles with two dreams in mind:
“To create extra significant gameplay between sniper rifles and different weapon classes.
“To higher outline the position of every sniper rifle to supply them greater individuality and specialisation.”
To that end, Treyarch has created a sniper-specific cringe that strikes the weapon goal whilst being hit. This draw back is greater mentioned in Aim Down Sight (ADS), Treyarch said, and attachments that limit draw back have been factored into this update.
There’s more: ADS momentum is now individualised for every sniper rifle. As Treyarch places it, ADS momentum is “that feeling of weightiness as the weapon exits and re-enters ADS”.
“You experience this when you swiftly exit and enter ADS, except entirely returning to the hip position,” Treyarch said. “Heavier sniper rifles will now experience weightier and re-acquire ADS slower accordingly. Please observe that ADS momentum is no longer used when getting into ADS from the full hip-fire position.”
Treyarch has additionally made extra adjustments throughout the sniper weapon class. Elsewhere, Treyarch has expanded bullet velocities throughout the board (with one exception – the devastating FFAR 1) to assault rifles to provide them greater innate long-distance gain over submachine guns.
LMGs have viewed their bullet pace refactored, too, to supply them greater inherent electricity with much less reliance on the Task Force Barrel attachment. And finally, pistols have obtained minor changes to bullet velocity. These adjustments higher in shape every pistol by using pushing their “hitscan” vary to the part of their most-used engagement distances, Treyarch said.
The mid-season three replace goes stay at 5am UK time on twentieth May, however the replace is accessible to down load now. It has a down load dimension of about 7.1-13.1GB for these who very own the full model of Black Ops Cold War. | <urn:uuid:875e1f4f-06ee-4a13-929d-4819909277fe> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://blog.mizcom.web.id/big-call-of-duty-black-ops-cold-war-replace-provides-sniper-flinch/ | 2021-11-28T23:11:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358673.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128224316-20211129014316-00150.warc.gz | en | 0.955658 | 531 | [

2016 was an outstanding year for the mortgage industry with interest rates hitting an all-time low, making it a maze for New Zealanders to borrow. Constant changes to lending have been a contributing factor to why more and more people are using a mortgage adviser when it comes to purchasing real estate.
With the opportunity still available for 90% lending on constructions loans, building and buying brand new has become a popular choice with both first home owners and the like.
Consumers want someone who can help maximise their chances of securing the property they’re after with minimal work involved. With so many different options out there, why are mortgage adviser services now more sought out than ever?
We do the leg-work
Being in the market for property can be an overwhelming experience at the best of times, and having someone do all the research, negotiation and working out the nitty-gritty of the paper work can make a world of difference.
In fact, for some, that is all the difference. Having an adviser do the groundwork will both facilitate the process and save the time that most people don’t have, these days.
Using a mortgage adviser, means having an expert who is familiar with the market and because they know what each lender looks for [and doesn’t], are in a position to give the borrower a more tailored solution to their circumstances and needs.
The relationship with a mortgage adviser is a long-term one.

DETROIT (WJBK) - A teenager was shot and killed early Sunday morning after a disagreement that began when her uncle told a speeding driver to slow down.
An unknown shooter opened fire on 15-year-old Jada Rankin's family at approximately 2 a.m. Sunday. Family and friends were visiting Jada's grandmother.
They say a "maniac" had been speeding up and down their street, on the 14000 block of Ardmore.
"They were outside, everyone was getting ready to go home," said the victim's grandmother Minnie Hill. "My grandson was getting ready to get in his car, and the guy sped past him. He said man, be careful, stop speeding, and he (in speeding car) just opened the car door and started shooting. He shot seven times."
Jada, an honor student at Sterling Heights High School, was struck in the stomach. She was pronounced dead later at Sinai Grace Hospital.
A friend of the family got in his car and chased after the shooter, but lost control and crashed into a pole. Family says his injuries are not severe.
Detroit Police say the gunman was in a gray or silver sedan, possibly a mid-2000 Chevy Impala or Lumina.
Grieving classmates will wear pink and purple to school Monday. They were Jada's favorite colors.
Right now, police do not have a good description of the gunman, but family and friends are calling him out.
"You, whoever you are, you're a coward," Grandma Hill said. "You shot a little girl."
Anyone with information is asked to call Detroit Police or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP. | <urn:uuid:91792583-c48b-4196-b37d-d31f40603a30> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.fox29.com/news/sterling-heights-teen-shot-killed-after-family-confronts-speeding-driver | 2021-11-29T00:13:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358673.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128224316-20211129014316-00150.warc.gz | en | 0.988789 | 356 | [

The Facebook and Twitter accounts of borrowers could be analysed by banks to decide whether they should give people in Britain a loan or mortgage.
Movenbank, an American online bank, already uses social networking sites to decide whether people are a good risk and said they plan to use a similar system when they come to Britain.
Some overseas lenders already use social media to check applicants’ credit worthiness – looking at their Facebook ‘friends’ to see if any are customers or in debt, as well as conversations held online. This information, based on the assumption that people with a good credit history tend to socialise together, is used to decide if someone is a good or bad risk, how much money banks should lend to them, or if they should refuse them entirely.
Movenbank will launch in Britain at the end of this year, subject to approval from the Financial Services Authority (FSA). It uses data from social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin to determine how influential potential borrowers are, with those who are more influential having a greater chance of getting better loans.
Brett King, the American banking expert and author who founded Movenbank, told the Sunday Times: “The better the score, the better the rates and fees will be. Someone’s reach and influence is taken into account. If someone has 5,000 friends and posts something good or bad about the service they got at a bank, 5,000 people will see that, which is inevitably good for business.”
Other banks also analyse people’s social networks to determine how good a risk they will be – based on the assumption that those who repay their debts are likely to have friends who have a similar attitude to banking. | <urn:uuid:9e4f05ca-6b8b-44ed-af2c-7430124cfd03> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.richmondassetfinance.co.uk/news/category/social-media/ | 2021-11-28T23:14:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358673.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128224316-20211129014316-00150.warc.gz | en | 0.961184 | 355 | [

When Cory Bernardi announced in February this year that he was leaving the Liberal Party to found a new conservative party, the mainstream media lined up to ridicule him predicting Australian Conservatives would be a flop. They predicted it would meet the same fate as other minor parties rising and falling over the past decade.
No less than six months later, Cory Bernardi has already began to achieve what others before him had failed to do, that is unite the disparate conservative parties in Australia under one banner. This was needed because of the abolition of group voting tickets in the Senate which meant that conservative parties could no longer easily swap preferences with each other in an effort to get one of them elected.
His first major breakthrough was the announcement that Family First would be absorbed into Australian Conservatives. The decision by Family First to join forces was a unanimous decision of all its state executives, and its two South Australian MLCs would become sitting members of Australian Conservatives. Family First has had a moderate level of success in Australian politics during its 15 years of existence, including electing two federal Senators, so the merger obtained a healthy voting base for Australian Conservatives.
Now Cory Bernardi has made inroads in Victoria with Democratic Labour Party MLC Dr Rachel-Carling Jenkins now joining Australian Conservatives in an effort to unite conservatives from across the state. The Democratic Labour Party has had a long history of internal implosions so Carling Jenkins is making the wise decision to be part of a stronger team. She has achieved a lot in the Victorian Parliament in blocking Daniel Andrews’ far left agenda on transgender birth certificates and removing religious discrimination exemptions. It now gives Australian Conservatives four elected representatives, in three parliaments and from two states.
It is worth adding that future merges with other conservative parties are likely, as Cory Bernardi is currently in talks with Australian Christians about joining forces. He has also had the most high profile member of the Australian Liberty Alliance Kirralee Smith of Halal Choice join the party as well. This is still very early days for the party, yet already so much has been achieved.
The leftward drift of the Liberal Party is also playing into Australian Conservatives’ hands. They just delivered a Labor-lite budget, they are committed to a high renewable energy target and international action on climate change, they will not address the problems with Islam and are looking at ways to get out of their promise to the Australian people to hold a plebiscite on same sex marriage. It was only revealed yesterday that the left-faction of the party is intent on dragging the Liberals further to the left.
Add to this Scott Morrison (an alleged conservative in the party) at the Liberal Federal Council on the weekend claiming that the Australian people are “not terribly interested in partisanship, not interested in the ideological debates that consume the extremes or the niche commentaries”. Cory Bernardi on the Bolt Report last night felt vindicated in his decision to leave and said that the Liberal Party left him, he did not leave them.
The mainstream media would appear to be letting Australian Conservatives fly under the radar. They continue to focus on the developments in the Coalition and One Nation as the only news coming from the ride side of politics. Perhaps it is because Bernardi has been so successful in his objectives and such a smooth political operator that there is no negative spin for the media to put on it.
Australian Conservatives already has a membership of 10,000. An astonishing achievement not only for a party founded just this year but also given that membership of the major parties continues to shrink. With such a strong membership base, it’s quite achievable for Australian Conservatives to be registered as a party in every state and run in all upcoming state elections.
A lot of commentators have been eager to point out that Australian Conservatives has not been tested yet at the ballot box and is only made up of MPs who have defected from other parties (including Bernardi himself). But looking at the Senate results from the last federal election and adding up the results of six conservative parties (Family First, Democratic Labour Party, Australian Christians, Christian Democratic Party, Australian Liberty Alliance and Rise Up Australia) the total is 4.71%.
Australian Conservatives is guaranteed to get at least the Family First votes, and will get a large chunk of the votes from these other conservative parties. We also shouldn’t discount the fact that he may get votes from One Nation, Shooters, Fishers & Farmers Party and of course disillusioned Coalition voters. Given that the next Senate election parties will need a full quote (14.33%) informed conservative voters are likely to vote more strategically and vote for the conservative party most likely to get elected.
The upcoming state elections where Australian Conservatives are running and of course the next federal election might throw up a result which the media were not expecting. They certainly did not predict Pauline Hanson’s political comeback, they never thought Tony Abbott could become Prime Minister. Australian Conservatives could finally be the major breakthrough that conservative and right wing voters have been after to finally address the issues that Australians are currently concerned about. | <urn:uuid:08eed0c0-5ba8-4d11-a2d5-3323e882e66a> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.theunshackled.net/australian-politics/mainstream-media-underestimates-australian-conservatives/ | 2021-11-29T00:08:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358673.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128224316-20211129014316-00150.warc.gz | en | 0.973151 | 1,030 | [

Lovely cover designs for Truth Sister and, coming soon, Blackwolf by Lawston Design
Interested in climate change? A great place to start is Leonardo DiCaprio’s film Before the Flood. “Climate change is the single greatest threat to a sustainable future but, at the same time, addressing the climate challenge presents a golden opportunity to promote prosperity, security and a brighter future for all.” Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary General, United Nations. Another thing to look at is Naomi Klein’s This Changes Everything.
Do you like to think? One of the things that fascinates me is why people make decisions they do, and in particular, why they make the bad ones. The answer can – partly at least – be found in Daniel Kahnemann’s excellent book Thinking, Fast and Slow. Recommended read – but there are things you can find on the internet too, e.g. a talk he gave at Google, and a documentary.
I can recommend:
- Arvon courses – I found that the tutors were not just good at writing, but good at tutoring too. And an excellent location too.
- Writers’ Retreat – get away from it all, do some writing and meet other writers.

Arcadia in urgent talks on £30m funding, denies administration report
Topshop owner Arcadia is reportedly in urgent talks to secure fresh funding in order to stay afloat. That's according to a Sky News report at the weekend that said the group has approached "several potential lenders about borrowing roughly £30 million" to support the business. The talks come as the crucial pre-Christmas trading plan has been dented by the current lockdown across England.
The report also said that an agreement to secure the deal is imminent and could happen this weekend. Arcadia has made no comment.
Meanwhile, the company denied a report in the Sunday Times that said Arcadia directors are drawing up plans to place the business into “trading administration”, allowing it to continue being run by current management while buyers are sought for its individual brands that include Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfridge, Evans and Burton.
A spokesman said: “It is not true that administrators are about to be appointed. Clearly, the second UK lockdown presents a further challenge for all retailers and we are taking appropriate steps to protect our stakeholders from its consequences. All our stores in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have now reopened, and we are continuing to trade online through our own channels as well as those of our partners.”
Arcadia operates more than 500 shops and while those in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland remain open, the bulk of its estate is in England and these shops have been forced to close until December 2.
A source told Sky News that the backing was needed due to doubt around the business’s ability to get through the pandemic without further funding.
The company had come close to collapse in 2019 as it won only narrow support for its series of company voluntary arrangements. It has closed a number of its shops and earlier this year it also cut around 500 head office jobs. The group currently employs around 15,000 people.
Sky also said that the pensions regulator is believed to be closely involved in the new talks, given the deficit situation with the company’s pension fund. Eighteen months ago, the company secured pension stakeholder support for its CVAs on the basis of it coming up with a package of assets to support the fund worth around £400 million.
The pensions issue complicates the situation around Arcadia, but so does its heavy presence in Debenhams. The company has a large number of concessions operating in the department store chain, which is itself up for sale but could be forced to liquidate if a buyer isn't found.

200 Comics In Under 12 Hours
Every Saturday we ask some of the funniest people on the web to fill in for us. Our readers get to learn about an awesome site, and we get to finish giving our dog full-body cornrows. Today's guest column is from the cartoonist Nedroid, creator of one of our favorite comics on the web. He's also been known to lend his talents to Cracked articles when something awesome enough needs doing (say, we need to convey that George Washington is punching a cherry tree in half).
One day not long ago, someone challenged Nedroid to draw 200 three panel comics as fast as he could. Nedroid couldn't say no, due to a rare neurological disorder that prevents him from forming the word. The results were 600 panels of inspired, free association comedy, created in a few days (hey, we didn't say it was 12 hours in a row).
For many more comics that are more carefully drawn but no less hilarious, check out Nedroid.com. | <urn:uuid:539c54a5-33ed-4391-aeb9-d7528774875e> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.cracked.com/article_16219_200-comics-in-under-12-hours.html | 2021-12-03T16:18:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362891.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20211203151849-20211203181849-00470.warc.gz | en | 0.973863 | 208 | [

Does anyone else think hes to good for present 205 pool????
No. Bigger guys are stronger and take a heavier punch. You can never say never but I doubt it.
Everyone at 205 would have to re-tool everything in there arsenal in order to get ready for the type of pace, pressure, strength, ground work, clinch work, and heart. I think with him at 205 hed be a measuring stick. Makes every 205 matchups exciting to watch. Could he be the champ? Without a doubt.
Could be. But as stated above he doesn't want to be.
Also, Anderson has evolved phenomnally since his PRIDE days. I wouldn't use any of those losses to reference what he possibly can and can't do today.
Anderson is overhyped imo. Several guys in that division would beat him. Although I think he would do pretty well.
quidnunc - Anderson is overhyped imo.
I stopped reading there.
I wont lie, it would be fun to watch Silva fight some LHW guys. He's destroyed most of the middleweight division in the UFC so it's only natural. Penn wants to do the same.
Add 20 lbs to anyone and you will often see a different fighter. Look at Bidping at 185....dude is quick and agile now. My point is simply to say that you may not see the same Anderson at 205.
Silva at 170 stright up kills everyone. Silva at 185 pointless to be there any more. Silva at 205 would make sense. Better competition and more give ya a run for your money type of fights. Makes sense for him to stay 205. Machida should move to 185.
Not if Irvin lands his best right hand.
I think someone like Tito would actually give him problems. With the extra size they could take him down and lay on him 3 to 5 rounds for a dec win. Plus a bigger guy would be harder to clinch.
Machida, Wanderlei, Chuck, Soko, Rampage, all those guys could give him trouble at a minumum. I think he could light Forrest up though, despite the size difference.
Give him trouble? Yes. Actually beat him? I'm thinking, no. And Tito? Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, no way. | <urn:uuid:e5d6f77e-3e68-41de-85ac-53b02ece0d26> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://forums.mixedmartialarts.com/t/could-a-silva-be-205-champ/1312250 | 2021-12-06T21:24:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363312.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20211206194128-20211206224128-00470.warc.gz | en | 0.976163 | 478 | [

Some people move heaven and earth to escape from hell. Witold Pilecki chose to enter it voluntarily. In 1940, the Polish Resistance fighter had himself locked up at Auschwitz-Birkenau. This is his story.
Between 1940 and 1945, Auschwitz-Birkenau was a central cog in the Nazis’ death machinery. The most sinister extermination camp of WW2, it took the lives of more than a million men, women and children. Inmates suffered from hunger, cold, hard labor, epidemics, ill-treatment and beatings. With a crushed morale, staying alive was mentally challenging; escaping was out of the question. Only 928 escapes have been attempted, eighty per cent of which failed.
The roundup volunteer
As difficult as escaping the concentration camp may be, it is obvious that no person in his right mind would ever dare to enter it of his own accord… That, however, was the plan of a man named Witold Pilecki. Resistance fighter from the outset, twice decorated for his involvement in the defence of Warsaw in 1920 (he was twenty years of age at the time), the Polish officer saw his country fall under German rule in 1939. And he could not stand it. So he started to recruit fighters for the Secret Polish Army (Tajna Armia Polska), an underground resistance group.
In September of 1940, alarmed by the scope of ethnic cleansing undertaken at Auschwitz, Pilecki came up with quite dangerous a plan: he would voluntarily be interned at the concentration camp so as to organize rebellion from the inside. Suicidal? Perhaps. While Nazi soldiers were rounding up Jews along Felińskiego street in Warsaw, he joined the crowd of prisoners. Pilecki and 1,800 others were crammed into cattle trains and reached days later their notorious destination.
When Pilecki went through the gate of the Stammlager (Auschwitz’s main camp), he noticed the slogan surrounded by barbed wire: Arbeit macht frei — work sets you free. But the Polish resistance fighter had already his mind set to another kind of freedom. He looked around himself. The Nazi guards were shaving his head, and he wore the striped inmate’s outfit with a red triangle (the sign of political prisoners) and the ID number 4959 stamped upon it. That, he understood, was the first step of his — and his fellow inmates’ — dehumanization. “Our whole crowd behaved like a herd of passive sheep,” he later wrote. “A simple thought kept nagging me: stir up everyone and get this mass of people moving.”
Six weeks of life expectancy: that’s what the SS usually promised to the newcomers. Pilecki, however, was not intimidated. Instead, he started to talk to prisoners, slowly but surely seeding a spirit of resistance within their ranks. Pilecki’s first priority was to describe the horrific life conditions inside the camp: he wrote a detailed report and entrusted a soon-to-be-released prisoner with it, and soon enough, the Polish Resistance had heard from its inside man. The worst was yet to come. From 1942 on, the Zyklon B-powered death machinery sped up. “There are no words to describe it,” Pilecki wrote. “I wanted to say: animal-like cruelty… But no! We are a whole level of hell worse than animals!”
The Great Escape
Unified under Pilecki’s charismatic leadership, the prisoners immediately moved into action. Some built a clandestine radio out of spare parts, to broadcast further reports. Others contaminated SS guards with typhus-infested fleas. Pilecki was sure that his gang, given Allied support, would soon be able to take over the camp… “We were waiting for an order,” the Polish prisoner would later write. But it never came, since both the Secret Polish Army and the Allied general staff had more important priorities to address. Eventually convinced that he would be more useful outside the camp, Pilecki decided to escape from Auschwitz at the first opportunity… With two other inmates – Edek and Jasiek -, he took off in April 1943, managing to escape the camp through the bakery (whose locked doors they crossed with key replicas made of bread crumb).
The Polish officer could have decided his war was over: he had, after all, spent more than thirty months in what must have looked like hell… But Pilecki’s idea of freedom was not limited to his own. So he headed back to Warsaw, heart of the Polish underground movements. In the summer of 1944, he took part in the Warsaw Uprising — sixty days of brutal battles without Allied support, the largest military operation of WW2 undertaken solely by Resistance movements. While it did not manage to drive the Germans out of the city, it cleared the path for the Red Army and the Allied forces to finish the Wehrmacht off. The sinister camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated in January 1945 by Soviet troops. Only 7,000 skeletal prisoners survived.
The Red Scare
While the end of WW2 was celebrated, Witold Pilecki remained vigilant. Suspicious of the puppet governements set up by Stalin across Eastern Europe, he crept back into the shadows and spied for more than two years for his country. As he fought communist dictature and abuse, his life became chaotic: he changed jobs regularly so as not to arise suspicion, and even when his cover was blown, he refused to leave Poland. He was arrested in May 1947, tortured and, after a sham and quick trial, sentenced to death. Upon learning it, he calmly said: “I’ve been trying to live my life so that in the hour of my death I would rather feel joy, than fear.”
On May 25, 1943, Witold Pilecki was shot in the back of the neck at the prison of Mokotów, and his body thrown into an unmarked grave. A place where, it was hoped, his life of devotion and sacrifice would quickly be forgotten… But how could one forget about a man who was a Resistance fighter, a spy, a volunteer deportee and a decorated soldier at the same time? “A man fighting for his life can do more than he ever imagined he could” — Pilecki’s ultimate message of hope through desperate times echoes to this day.

Telltale Games and Mojang shared the release date, along with a new trailer for the third episode of Minecraft Story Mode – Season Two. The episode is entitled “Jailhouse Block”, and the trailer shows Jesse and the gang jailed at The Sunshine Institute. It picks up right after the events of the second episode, “Giant Consequences”, which has been out for a little over a month now. “Giant Consequences” was not only an action-packed episode venturing through icy lands, but it also ended with an exciting cliffhanger to get fans anticipating episode three. Luckily we don’t have long to wait now.
The official description of “Jailhouse Block” reads:
Having bested The Admin’s icy obstacles, Jesse and the gang are rewarded with a one-way trip to The Sunshine Institute, a nigh inescapable prison buried at the bottom of the world and filled with all manner of miscreants. In order to make it back home, Jesse has to find a way to break out, even if that means employing a few desperate measures.
The trailer is nearly a minute and a half long, and it features some great shots of The Sunshine Institute. When Jesse refers to it as a ‘prison’, the term brushed off, and the The Sunshine Institute is instead humorously described as “a reformatory for people the Admin has found difficult.” We also get some quick shots of the Admin, some huge Ghasts, and an rushing horde of spiders. There is a lot at stake in this episode, and the dark tone of the trailer already makes it seem like this will be Jesse’s (and the player’s) most challenging episode yet.
Check out the full trailer below, and keep up to date with more Minecraft: Story Mode news at The Nerd Stash. “Jailhouse Block” will release on Tuesday, September 19th for Xbox One, PS4, PC, iOS, and Android-based devices. | <urn:uuid:8b3fb24e-d916-43da-b671-888625c2fd6a> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://thenerdstash.com/minecraft-story-mode-season-two-returns-tuesday/ | 2021-12-08T13:22:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363510.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20211208114112-20211208144112-00150.warc.gz | en | 0.956904 | 427 | [

Through The Wall Air Conditioners Accessories
Through the wall air conditioners should be installed by a professional or a person that is very handy. A hole must be cut in the wall to install a wall unit. The hole should be of a size that allows the unit to fit snugly. For weatherproofing reasons, space around the unit should be minimal. Each air conditioner comes with a manual that lists the size the hole in the wall should be. A metal sleeve is placed inside the hole in the wall. The sleeve provides structural support in the wall for the air conditioner. The air conditioner fits snugly inside the sleeve.

Choosing The Victim Mentality
“The was a man who one day had not mind to pay the world. Moving throughout his day as if it were any other regular day. You see, there was not much to it. Clock in at work, proceed to do his job, go home and that pretty much it. He was your average Joe doing what an average Joe did, live the good life. Let us not get confused because of the simplicity here he was a very happy man. Everything that he had done up until now was exactly what he wanted to do.
The simplicity created a sense of comfort for him because that was the type of man he was. He had the money he needed, he could pay his bills and guess what? He even had a little extra time at the end of his day so that he could see his friends. What else could he ask for?
Then one day he was going about his average Joe day. Doing his average Joe things. On his way to work he could hardly see it coming, it was a truck! This truck took out the entire front end of his vehicle before he noticed.
The man woke up sic months later, fresh out of a coma. He looked over at the doctor and the doctor said, “Son, you’re lucky to be alive. If that truck hit you a fraction of an inch closer to the cab you would never walk again.” Call that luck!
This man went about his life as if nothing had happened and I think that’s enough to say. Don’t fall victim to your own mind or circumstances, because Steve could have done that too. Steve decided to get back to life, on life’s terms. Proceeding forward with what he did best, living his simple life.
When Life Hands Your Complications, Conquer Them!
Life is constantly going to throw a wrench in all situations that you go through. The tough part here is choosing not to fall victim to what we go through. When we decide to play the victim it immediately constricts our ability to move further in the game of life. We could look at it like quitting a match of cards before it is even over. You ruin the hand not only for yourself but everyone else that is playing.
Conquer the complications and require the adaptability that we all can harness. Adaptability will be hard at first but when we try new things it comes at ease over time. Time is the remedy to any complication that we feel we can not handle. Never feel bound or pushed down by any complication because you can do it! You have the power within you to do anything that you set your mind to. Even if it is something that you feel you can not.
Give the good fight and continue to grow. Place yourself in the vantage point that you had once had through other means. If you are blessed to be good in entrepreneurship then be an entrepreneur by what ever means. If you are good at writing then write! Let us say that you are a great baseball player but can no longer swing a bat. Then use your troubleshooting ability in some other way. We can all make our strengths work in a way that creates a sense of achievement.
Question For The Day
Are you able to realize that you are not a victim? What is it in your life that gives you the ability to continue to fight?
The victim mentality is a song and tune many people play in today’s society. Do not fall into the trap of feeling like you are a victim. This is the farthest thing from the truth. You are a strong person and can do anything that you set your mind to. Without a sense of belonging to yourself you have nothing else to take a hold of. Be sure to realize that you are useful in situations that you may not even realize. Let it not be a trap if you can not go in other directions of life. Let it be a lesson that you may have to change directions from time to time. | <urn:uuid:43cb8389-bb26-4c93-be69-90cfc3b5e654> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://tangibletriumph.life/2021/01/22/do-not-choose-the-victim-mentality/ | 2021-11-29T02:36:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358685.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20211129014336-20211129044336-00510.warc.gz | en | 0.986298 | 822 | [

Port-au-Prince, Haiti — The State Department confirmed on Sunday that 16 of the 17 people kidnapped in Haiti were 16 Americans. Police said the gang, who kidnapped five priests and two nuns earlier this year, was also blamed for the recent kidnapping.
“The welfare and security of US citizens abroad is one of the State Department’s top priorities,” the State Department said in a statement. “We are in regular contact with senior Haiti authorities and will continue to work with Haiti authorities and inter-ministerial partners. We will provide additional information wherever possible.”
Haitian police inspector Franz Champagne told The Associated Press that a “400 Mawozo” gang had kidnapped a group in Ganthier, a commune east of the Port-au-Prince capital.
According to officials, the gang, whose name translates to about 400 “inexperienced men,” dominated the Croix-des-Bouquet district, including Ganthier, where they kidnapped and hijacked and blackmailed business owners. increase.
Haiti is headed by President Jovenel MoiseFollowing magnitude 7.2 at his private residence on July 7th It struck southwestern Haiti in August, killing more than 2,200 people.
Missionaries were on their way home on Saturday from the construction of the orphanage, according to a message from the Ohio-based Christian Aid ministry sent to various religious missions.
“This is a special prayer warning,” said the one-minute message. “Pray for the members of the gang to come to repent.”
In the message, the mission’s field director is working with the US embassy, and the field director’s family and one other unidentified man are at the provincial base while everyone else is visiting the orphanage. It is written that it stayed at.
Other details were not immediately available.
A U.S. government spokesperson said he knew of reports of the kidnapping.
“The welfare and security of US citizens abroad is one of the State Department’s top priorities,” a spokesman declined further.
Gangsters have demanded ransoms ranging from hundreds of dollars to over a million dollars, officials said.
Last month, a butler was murdered in front of a church in the capital of Port-au-Prince and his wife was kidnapped. This is one of the dozens of people who have been kidnapped in the last few months.
A report issued last month by the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti, known as BINUH, reported that at least 328 kidnapping victims were reported to Haiti’s national police in the first eight months of 2021, compared to the entire 2020. Then there were a total of 234 people.
Gangsters have been accused of abducting school children, doctors, police officers, passenger bus roads, etc. as they became more powerful. In April, a gang kidnapped five priests and two nuns, prompting a three-day protest. Haitians are currently preparing for another protest scheduled for Monday to condemn the lack of security in poor countries.
“Political turmoil, the proliferation of gangsters, and worsening socio-economic conditions such as food insecurity and malnutrition all contribute to worsening humanitarian conditions,” BINUH said in a report. “Overkill and underfunded police alone cannot address Haiti’s security problems.”
On Friday, the UN Security Council unanimously voted to expand the UN’s political mission in Haiti.
The abduction of missionaries occurs days after US officials visit Haiti and promise more resources for Haiti’s national police, including an additional $ 15 million to reduce gang violence. Increasingly unsanitary condition.
Among those who met with Haiti’s police chief was the US quail Zeya, who was under the Secretary of State for civilian security, democracy, and human rights.
“Dismantling the gangsters is essential to Haiti’s stability and civil safety,” she recently said. Tweet..

The largest state tax cut in Iowa history is now law after Governor Kim Reynolds signed Senate File 2417 into law.
The law cuts more than $2 billion in a six-year period. Governor Reynolds signed the bill on Wednesday at MobileDemand in Hiawatha. She said the cuts stand to help Iowans and small businesses like MobileDemand, which specializes in creating rugged cases for tablets.
"The new tax plan will unleash opportunity across our states and help families that are struggling to make ends meet. I’m signing the bill for every Iowan who works hard to earn a paycheck and deserves to keep more of it," Reynolds said.
According to a study done by the Iowa Department of Revenue, middle-to-upper classes stand to see the most in overall savings. Iowans collectively will see an average of $300 in savings per year.
The study shows Iowans making $50-$60,000 a year could see a savings around $150 per year. Incomes of $1 million or more could see as much as $25,000 in savings throughout a year. Whereas, Iowans with an income of $20,000 or less will only see about $18 per year.
Democratic opponents say the bill does too little to help low earners and does too much for high earners. Gov. Reynolds rebutted Wednesday, saying all savings matter.
"I know that every single extra dollar in a paycheck matters and I hear that from Iowans as I travel across the state. People might think $50 isn’t that much well it is. It makes a difference. It’s groceries, it’s gas. It’s new shoes," the governor said.
The owners of local small businesses, MobileDemand and Aurora Coffee, spoke prior to signing saying the cuts will also help their businesses.
Under this bill, top corporate businesses will see a tax deduction from a 12% rate to 9.8% by 2021.
"We pay taxes, my business pays taxes, a lot of them. So, I am grateful for this bill about to be signed," Aurora Moes said.
Outside of the signing, a handful or protesters gathered against the bill.
"To sign this bill for providing tax cuts for the wealthy it just doesn’t make any sense because we are trying to increase funding for education, mental health, for funds like domestic violence. It’s really important that we make sure we are providing for all Iowans just not the wealthy," Ashley Burns said.
The bill saw no support across the aisle from Democrats, but Reynolds says without passing it Iowans would have seen higher taxes do to federal tax reform.
"If we did nothing, their taxes would have gone up," she said. | <urn:uuid:8b4dde64-c5be-4bfa-81e6-395511fb9876> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.kwwl.com/news/read-more-governor-reynolds-signs-state-s-largest-tax-cut/article_c91170fa-c385-5da3-8091-1d0ee4a8e6e2.html | 2021-12-02T06:15:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964361169.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20211202054457-20211202084457-00510.warc.gz | en | 0.971119 | 574 | [

Here at InterKnowlogy we are always looking for ways to optimize our business. We’ve been using automated builds for sometime now. They are seriously one of the best things since sliced bread! Who doesn’t love to see a giant green checkmark stating their check-in succeeded. Or yelling names down the hallway when someone else causes a huge red ‘X’ to show up due to a failed check-in. As long as those names are aimed at you that is… We’ve been struggling with one problem lately with our release builds. If we have someone working offsite and they need to get the build after it completes they have to VPN into our network, go to the build directory, and copy the deliverable to their local machine. We do a lot of really cool graphically intense applications, which can mean large deliverables. This then turns into a really long difficult process to get a single deliverable. After a lot of discussions we come up with a really cool idea to use Hightail.
Hightail (Formerly YouSendIt)
We use Hightail for sending and receiving large files as I’m sure many of you do. We love the feature allowing us to specify an expiration date on a file so it will no longer take up space on our account. I did a lot of research on DropBox, Box, SkyDrive, and a few other options and each had pros and cons. In the end, Hightail was superior. It supports expiration dates, emails, and an easy API.
We created a REST service that lives on our build server named the BuildSendService. This service is responsible for accepting a file path, expiration date, and details for sending the email with a link to the file. Information received is immediately added to a queue and which is then processed asynchronously. This allows the caller of the service to continue on to do more work instead of waiting for the file to be hightailed. The service asynchronously processes each item in the queue using the Hightail API, which is brain dead simple! It’s really great! Hightail takes care of the email for us once the file is uploaded. Recipients can then quickly download the file from their inbox! AWESOME!
SendBuild Custom Build Action
In order to leverage the BuildSendService most efficiently we built a Custom Build Action named SendBuild. In our Build Process Template, after the build has completed all other tasks and the final deliverable is ready for use in the final build directory, the SendBuild action contacts the BuildSendService to hightail the build to all desired recipients. It is not a mandatory action and is ignored if no recipients are specified. We wanted this action to be as fast as possible. That is why the BuildSendService accepts the parameters and queues the information immediately. This frees up our build server to process the next request immediately instead of waiting for a large deliverable to be uploaded to Hightail.
While this process is still new to us here at InterKnowlogy it is showing promise. Overtime, I’m sure we’ll tweak the current implementation to make it better and help use run more effectively and efficiently. Also, Hightail is just awesome! They have been super helpful answering all of our questions and pointing me in the right direction for development. They have a .NET sample application, which as far as I can tell implements each of their APIs. That was the best source of information. Their documentation is mostly good, but could use some extra explanations. If you want to do something similar for your build process let me know. I’m happy to help where I can. | <urn:uuid:5600a1e7-d1f2-4778-934a-766c89cac8aa> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | http://blogs.interknowlogy.com/2013/10/25/send-your-automated-build-via-hightail-formerly-yousendit/ | 2021-12-05T11:18:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363157.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20211205100135-20211205130135-00510.warc.gz | en | 0.950034 | 771 | [

Starting last week in a head-snapping series of events, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure charity cut funding to Planned Parenthood, and after a wave of outcry, reinstituted the funding days later. Along the way it gave a string of seemingly contradictory explanations for its decisions. We break down exactly what Komen said, and how it's changed.
Tuesday, Jan. 31
Reports emerge that Komen denied funding to Planned Parenthood...
Komen fails to respond to criticism over its decision for over 36 hours...
The AP reports Tuesday afternoon that Komen has decided to pull funding from Planned Parenthood, cutting off hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants used for breast cancer screening and education for low-income women. Citing a Komen spokeswoman, the AP says the reason for the cut-off is a recently adopted rule that prohibits Komen from funding groups under government investigation. Planned Parenthood was disqualified because it's under probe by Representative Cliff Stearns, R-Fl., about whether public money was improperly spent on abortions.
Planned Parenthood says it is "alarmed and saddened" Komen is giving in to pressure from anti-abortion groups and has been influenced by what Planned Parenthood calls a "politically motivated" Congressional investigation.
Planned Parenthood sends a fundraising email asking its supporters to donate money to make up the lost Komen grants (which totaled $680,000 last year). It is met with a surge in donations.
Social media sites drive a deluge of comments protesting the decision. On Tuesday night it is one of the most discussed topics on Twitter.
Komen is silent about the outcry...
Komen makes no mention of the outpouring of criticism in a statement released to the AP that evening, saying only that it is "regrettable" that changes in priorities and policies affected its longstanding partner Planned Parenthood.
Wednesday, Feb. 1
Komen offers multiple explanations for its decision to defund: tighter grant making requirements, nothing to do with the congressional investigation, everything to do with the investigation...
"To support [a] new granting strategy, Komen has also implemented more stringent eligibility standards to safeguard donor dollars. Consequently, some organizations are no longer eligible to receive Komen grants,"
"We were giving [Planned Parenthood] money, they were sending women out for mammograms. What we would like to have are clinics where we can directly fund mammograms,"
- Komen CEO Brinker tells the Washington Post
"People don't understand that a Congressional investigation doesn't necessarily mean a problem of substance. When people read about it in places like Texarkana, Tex., where I'm from, it sounds really bad,"
- Raffaelli tells the New York Times
Komen issues a statement saying that its actions have been widely mischaracterized and it needs to set the record straight: In the course of strengthening its grant program, the foundation put in place more stringent criteria. Planned Parenthood simply didn't make the cut. The statement makes no mention of the Congressional investigation.
Komen posts a video of Komen CEO Nancy Brinker explaining the "real story" and saying that Komen would never "bow to pressure."
Komen President Elizabeth Thompson tells the Washington Post that the decision to cut off Planned Parenthood funding "doesn't really have anything to do with" the congressional investigation." Brinker says Planned Parenthood lost funding because it doesn't usually provide mammograms to women directly (instead it gives them referrals to other clinics).
While Komen says the decision was not meant to target Planned Parenthood, inside sources offer a different story...
Board member John Raffaelli tells the New York Times that Komen changed to its grant-making process specifically to end its relationship with Planned Parenthood. According to Raffaelli, Komen was worried a congressional investigation of Planned Parenthood would damage Komen's credibility.
Thursday, Feb. 2
"Mollie is one of the most highly respected and ethical people inside the organization, and she felt she couldn't continue under these conditions,"
- former Komen senior communications adviser John Hammarley tells the Atlantic
"Our issue is grant excellence. [Planned Parenthood does] pass-through grants with their screening grants, they send people to other facilities. We want to do more direct service grants."
- Brinker says on MSNBC
"This troubling decision threatens to reduce access to necessary, life-saving services. We urge Komen to reconsider its decision,"
- a letter from 22 senators to CEO Brinker
Brinker holds a news conference and continues to insist that the changes to grant-making procedures were not meant to specifically target Planned Parenthood, and had nothing to do with politics or abortion. What she leaves unmentioned is that Planned Parenthood was the only organization affected by the policy change.
A report in the Atlantic says that Mollie Williams, Komen's top public-health official, resigned immediately after she learned of the decision to defund Planned Parenthood in December.
The report in the Atlantic further states that senior vice president Karen Handel was behind the decision to cut funding, according to three inside sources. Handel is well known for her anti-abortion views and has said that she that she doesn't support the mission of Planned Parenthood. Handel was hired last year April after she lost her primary campaign for governor in Georgia to a more aggressively pro-life candidate. The three sources also told the Atlantic that the charity had been wanting to break with Planned Parenthood for quite some time, and the congressional investigation simply provided a way to do it. Handel has since responded that she had a role in the decision, but to "suggest that I had the sole authority is just absurd."
In an interview on MSNBC, Brinker says that the decision was not political, and had nothing to do with Karen Handel. Brinker again says the main reason for the decision was not the congressional investigation, but rather Komen's attempt to streamline grants by "putting metrics, outcomes, and measures to them."
22 senators sign a letter urging Komen to reverse its decision and reinstate the grants to Planned Parenthood.
Kathy Plesser, a member of Komen's affiliate medical advisory board in New York City, threatens to resign unless Komen reverses its decision.
Friday, Feb. 3
Komen retreats, and switches back to pinning the decision on the investigation...
"We will amend the criteria to make clear that disqualifying investigations must be criminal and conclusive in nature and not political. That is what is right and fair."
In an apparent reversal, Komen issues a statement saying that it will now amend its grant criteria to only disqualify investigations that are "criminal and conclusive in nature and not political." Even though a day earlier Brinker told MSNBC that the investigation wasn't "the only issue," the statement makes no mention of any other reason (such as streamlining grants or providing mammograms).
The Atlantic releases internal Komen memos including a Q&A for Komen employees explaining the new grant making criteria, as well as instructions and talking points for how employees should answer questions about it. The memos emphasize the investigation as the primary reason for the funding cut, and make no mention of mammograms.
The AP reports that according to an anonymous source with "direct knowledge of the decision making process," Karen Handel, the pro-life former Republican candidate, was a driving force behind the decision to defund Planned Parenthood.
Monday, Feb. 5
Handel again linked to Planned Parenthood decision...
The Huffington Post reports that Karen Handel was the main force behind the decision to cut funding, according to a Komen insider. She also crafted the strategy of drafting new guidelines to disqualify Planned Parenthood, according to emails sent to the Huffington Post under the condition they not be published. The AP and Time add details on Handel's involvement.
Tuesday, Feb. 7
"The decision to update our granting model was made before I joined Komen, and the controversy related to Planned Parenthood has long been a concern to the organization. Neither the decision nor the changes themselves were based on anyone's political beliefs or ideology,"
- Karen Handel says in a letter to Nancy Brinker
Handel, Komen's vice president of public policy, resigns. She is the fourth Komen executive to resign or threaten to resign since the Planned Parenthood decision was announced.
Wednesday, Feb. 8
Brinker says mistakes were made...
"If I have learned nothing else from our experience of the past week, it is that we in women's health organizations must be absolutely true to our core missions, and avoid even the appearance of bias or judgment in our decisions."
- Nancy Brinker says in a letter to Sally Quinn
In her first public comments since the reversal decision, Brinker admits she "made some mistakes," and apologizes for how her organization "mishandled the situation." Her note is addressed to Washington Post columnist Sally Quinn, who wrote an open letter to Brinker the day before saying that she, along with many others, felt betrayed. | <urn:uuid:884b4266-5cf0-4de2-a030-39a309a1df1d> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.propublica.org/article/komens-contortions-a-timeline-of-the-charitys-shifting-story-on-planned-par | 2021-12-07T04:09:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363332.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20211207014802-20211207044802-00190.warc.gz | en | 0.962823 | 1,856 | [

Mumbai: The Mumbai Police have booked Bollywood actor Sahil Khan and four others for allegedly instigating prominent physique-builder and former “Mr India” Manoj Patil to commit suicide, officials said here on Friday.
Patil, who survived the suicide attempt early on Thursday morning, is currently undergoing treatment at the BMC-run R.N. Cooper Hospital, Vile Parle.
“An athlete and body-builder, Patil had bagged the prestigious title of ‘Mr India – Men’s Physique Overall Championships-2016’, conducted by the government-recognised Indian Body Builders Federation,” IBBF General Secretary Hiral Sheth told IANS.
According to police, Patil allegedly tried to end his life by swallowing some pills at his home in Saileela Apartment in Oshiwara, but was rushed to hospital by his family and survived.
Patil, 29, who also dabbles in modelling, had recently submitted a complaint letter to the Oshiwara police in which, among other things, he accused Khan and others for allegedly creating issues in his professional career and defaming him via the social media, and demanding action against them.
The police, who have lodged a FIR based on Patil’s letter, will record his statement after he fully recovers before taking the investigations further though no arrests have been made so far in the case.
Incidentally, on Thursday, Khan rubbished all the allegations levelled against him and informed the media that the entire matter was between Patil and another person named Raj Faujdar of New Delhi who had come in his (Khan’s) contact on some social networking site.
The police have booked Khan and others under Indian Penal Code sections pertaining to abetment of suicide, attempt to commit offences, defamation, criminal intimidation, and common intent. | <urn:uuid:525456b0-a3a4-47cb-abf4-93e565c6417f> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://ommcomnews.com/india-news/mumbai-police-book-actor-others-for-driving-ex-mr-india-to-suicide | 2021-12-08T15:14:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363515.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20211208144647-20211208174647-00510.warc.gz | en | 0.977943 | 394 | [

Alternative healthcare is really popular currently with folks who suffer from begun to concern typical Western health routines. These procedures can include supporting solutions, herbal treatments, and change in lifestyle. Many experts of alternative medicine issue its ability to give a purposeful return for the investment put in. This informative article examines the validity of alternative medicine by evaluating many of the more widespread claims built. Alternative treatment can certainly help people who find themselves being affected by major conditions and are not made it easier for by traditional Western solutions.
The point that standard Western treatments can often be ineffective does not always mean that alternative healthcare is pointless. You should recognize that the strength of these methods is dependent on the type of condition being treated and even following the method taken in employing the remedy. Alternative treatment is frequently utilised together with traditional solutions which is at times suggested to carry out the 3 approaches to obtain greatest results. Which is not scientifically verified or untestable, for that reason should not be viewed as as a good substitute treatment method for the ailment.
An example of alternative medicine features supporting and integrative modalities such as naturopathy, traditional Eastern medicine, natural and organic treatments and acupuncture, however alternative treatment is any technique that work tirelessly to have the exact recovery influences as set up by traditional treatment options. These modalities will not be in line with the results of any scientific investigation and are also not be subject to the analysis of big medical laboratories. Some critics of mainstream remedies would like to check this out adjust since they believe it provides a veneer of respectability to these kind of techniques. Reports that do a comparison of the medical outcomes associated with normal healthcare strategies with the ones from alternative healthcare have not been conclusive adequate to encourage researchers that complementary and integrative modalities are unsuccessful or simply damaging.
A common kind of alternative healthcare includes herbal solutions and vitamin supplements, having said that. Herbal remedies have already been utilised by humankind for thousands of years and are acknowledged to have numerous useful characteristics. These herbal remedies are often very beneficial in advertising overall health along with the decrease in signs or symptoms connected with health issues and could also be used as therapy for distinct health issues. Dietary supplements are available in a number of types and can also include things likenutritional supplements, proteins, enzymes and various other substances that help the body purpose much better.
Lots of people are unfamiliar with complementary and integrative look at and remedies it as a “substitute” or “complementary.” While this can be beneficial with regard to understanding the primary difference amongst classic approaches and integrative and contrasting medication, it can normally trigger uncertainty in regards to what style of treatment therapy is remaining described. One example is, a search for cancers treatment utilizing Chinese herbal plants will bring up pages of search results and content written about Chinese remedies. As well, searching for malignancy remedy by using typical medical care will bring up many posts published about cancers together with its cure. May be the way to obtain information and facts more trusted when compared to the other? Your answer should be no.
Similar challenges occur when we finally focus on integrative scientific tests of Chinese treatment and Chinese organic cures. Are we contrasting grapefruits and apples or reviewing homeopathy to developed medicine? Will we definitely discover how to evaluate Chinese herbal treatments to american options? These are among the circumstances that happen after we focus on Chinese treatment and complementary medication.
It is crucial for health care professionals to indulge with alternative medicine professionals for more information about their point of view on health care. Many health care professionals are actually qualified to have a typical health care method. While using surge interesting in alternative treatment along with the increase in attention of alternative treatment investigation, it truly is becoming more and more a hardship on health care professionals to disregard these routines. In addition, the ageing human population can make it essential for health care professionals to take into consideration these alternative therapies.
While there remains a very good disagreement among regular Western medication and alternative medicine, acupuncture consistently acquire acceptance. The developing amount of studies backlinking chinese medicine with a decrease in soreness details suggests that homeopathy may possibly give even more advantages inside the control over soreness. Most likely the after that dilemma that health professionals should really be wondering their selves is if an traditional chinese medicine treatment might be as valuable as prescribed drugs supplied by a normal alternative healthcare practitioner. Studies in the foreseeable future would bring significantly greater understanding on the problem.

The relative lack of minorities in the dental profession never deterred Devin Stewart, who is African American, from pursuing his dream of becoming a dentist.
As early as high school, Stewart sought advice from dentists in his community and shadowed them during summer breaks. “I discovered that people with beautiful teeth and smiles seemed to fascinate me,” he says. “I want to create the same experience I received as a child while visiting the dentist and make a difference in someone’s oral health — and life as a whole.”
This year, the senior biology major at Jackson State University was accepted by the University of Mississippi Medical Center’s (UMMC) School of Dentistry. He credits the Student National Dental Association (SNDA) — particularly its dental school preparation program, Impressions — with preparing him for the dental admission test and the UMMC admissions interview, as well as familiarizing him with the everyday work of a dentist.
“I found the hands-on activities to be very beneficial,” he says, “because it allows pre-dental students the chance to get a feel for what dentistry will be like once they enter into the profession.”
SNDA was formed in 1972 as an auxiliary of the National Dental Association — the professional association of minority dentists — to promote diversity in dental school enrollment and support improvements in dental care in disadvantaged communities.
SNDA launched the Impressions program in 1999 with the goal of reaching out directly to minority undergraduates to help them become stronger dental school candidates. During the 2014-2015 school year, 30 to 40 SNDA chapters — of the approximately 50 active chapters at dental schools nationwide — will host one-day Impressions events for more than 1,000 dental-school hopefuls, says SNDA President Christopher Cathey, a third-year dental student at UMMC.
“[The program is] simply a concerted effort to make strides in eliminating healthcare disparities in dentistry nationwide by providing an avenue for underrepresented minorities to have the same resources as an applicant who isn’t underrepresented or who has adequate resources to get into dental school,” Cathey says.
Dr. Wilhelmina F. O’Reilly, assistant dean for student affairs at UMMC’s School of Dentistry, says the school has participated in Impressions annually since 2006. A typical Impressions event agenda includes writing workshops, mock interviews, presentations by dental school admissions and financial aid officials, and panel discussions featuring current dental students and residents. The national organization assists local chapters with organizing the events and defraying costs.
True to its name, the program also gives undergrads the opportunity to take dental impressions on volunteer patients. For many participants, this is their first real-life experience performing a dental procedure.
Although Impressions is designed primarily for minority students, it has begun to attract non-minority students as well, Cathey says. And while no nationwide statistics are available, he estimates that 85 to 90 percent of participants in UMMC School of Dentistry’s program are from underrepresented minorities.
In addition to critical hands-on experience, the program offers undergraduate students the opportunity to network with school administrators and current dental students — a part of the experience Stewart found invaluable.
“One of the most important pieces of advice the admissions committee gave me was making sure I apply early,” Stewart says. “They informed me that they would be accepting numerous applications for the upcoming school year, and it was in my best interest to get into the first batch.”
Dental students in the program advised Stewart on the best ways to prepare for the dental admission test, including helpful books and software. “They also gave me helpful interview tips, including the types of questions to expect, and most importantly, making sure I practice for the interview,” he says.
In 2002, the Institute of Medicine warned that minorities often receive unequal treatment in the U.S. healthcare system. Among other factors, “healthcare providers’ biases, prejudices, and uncertainty when treating minorities can contribute to healthcare disparities,” the report observed, even though “prejudice is not always recognized or deliberate.”
The Institute recommended that, among other measures, more individuals of color be recruited into medical professions. However, it stopped short of outlining specific ways of achieving that goal.
According to a study by the University of Colorado, in 2012, only 5 percent of U.S. dental school graduates were African American and 7 percent were Hispanic or Latino, indicating a need to recruit more students from these underrepresented minorities.
Based on more recent numbers, it appears that programs like Impressions may be having a positive effect. Since 2012, underrepresented minority students (including those identifying as more than one race or ethnicity) have comprised, on average, more than one-third of all students at the University of Florida College of Dentistry. That trend is likely to continue. The fall 2015 entering class, while not yet finalized, is currently made up of 42 percent minority students. This number includes Asian, black or African American, and Hispanic or Latino students, as well as students of multiple races.
Teresa A. Dolan, who was dean of the University of Florida College of Dentistry for 10 years and supported the Impressions program, says she believes the educational environment is richer and conversations deeper when the opinions and views of individuals from diverse backgrounds are included and respected.
“As the first college graduate and dentist in my extended family, I can understand why some students might feel that a career in dentistry or any of the health professions might be unattainable, or at least a little mysterious in terms of what it takes to successfully navigate the educational system to become a dentist,” Dolan says. “So the program helps demystify dental school and the dental application process.”
At the SNDA, plans are under way to provide scholarships to students who participate in the Impressions program, opening the door for more minorities and disadvantaged students to enter the profession. Cathey also hopes to one day see a national version of Impressions that would provide students exposure to dental schools across the country.
“I would like to implement a high school component,” he says. “I think it is very important to spark the interest of dentistry as soon as we can, before students begin college. This program can be a great tool in helping to recruit students at the high school level.”
Like other students who will take another step toward pursuing their dreams this fall, Stewart is eager to begin his training at UMMC’s School of Dentistry in August. And he has advice for others who share his passion.
“Although minorities are underrepresented in the field of dentistry, that should not stop you from pursuing it,” he says. “If anything, you should be encouraged to pursue it even more. That way, you can one day give back to underserved, minority communities and improve their oral healthcare.”●

It's a big day in Parliament today, as the Domestic Abuse Bill will receive its first reading in the House of Commons, bringing it one step closer to being enacted in law. As part of the new legislation, Northern Ireland will finally see coercive control becoming an illegal offence.
While it seems like little else aside from Brexit talks have been going on in government over the past three years, one of the other things that's been worked on is a new set of laws on domestic abuse. And it's about time, too, because the existing law surrounding domestic abuse is flawed. The sheer number of incidences that occur every year tell us that.
2 million adults in England and Wales were known by police to have experienced domestic abuse in 2017 (and then there’s all the ones who don't report their situations to the authorities). Women’s Aid’s 2018 census on femicide revealed that 59% of all women murdered in 2017 were killed inside their own homes, and other recent statistics from the charity indicate that an estimated 21,084 of referrals to refuges in England were declined in the year 2017/18, averaging over 400 rejections each week.
The new Domestic Abuse Bill will introduce the first ever statutory government definition of domestic abuse, will prohibit the cross-examination of victims by their abusers in family courts, will introduce new Domestic Abuse Protection Notices and Domestic Abuse Protection Orders to provide better protection for victims, and will establish the role of a Domestic Abuse Commissioner, among various other things. You can read more about what the bill will change here.
But for the people of Northern Ireland, this bill will also signal the introduction of coercive control as a crime. Despite having been illegal in England and Wales since the end of 2015 (Scotland followed on a few years later, making it a crime in 2018), Northern Ireland has been lagging behind in criminalising emotional abuse.
Coercive control is defined as ongoing psychological behaviour, rather than isolated or unconnected incidents, often with the purpose of removing a victim's freedom.
Some signs of coercive control include malicious name calling or bullying behaviour, unreasonable demands followed up by threats, financial control and isolation from friends, family or colleagues. You can read all the signs in more detail here.
Claire Sugden, Northern Ireland's ex-Justice Minister, who had long campaigned for the law to be updated to include coercive control, has described the move as "a huge success for victims and survivors of domestic abuse.
"My heart is bursting," she wrote on Twitter.
For the Domestic Abuse Bill to become officially enshrined in law, it will have to go through two further readings in the House of Commons, then three readings in the House of Lords - at which point MPs and Lords respectively can debate it and table any concerns - before it gets the Royal Assent. But it's on its way!
For more information and support related to domestic abuse, visit Women's Aid's website or call the Freephone 24-hour National Domestic Violence Helpline, run by Women’s Aid in partnership with Refuge, on 0808 2000 247.

Today’s beverage carbonators use low-pressure carbonation systems, which are more energy efficient, along with being reliable for ensuring each batch of beverage tastes the same. These also eliminate the worry of excess foaming, while carbonating your beverage faster than traditional methods.
Upgrading your carbonation system is a great way to improve the overall quality and efficiency of your production line. These systems are often component based, which means you can add it without requiring a change to your entire production line. This allows you to upgrade your system in line with the growth of your business.
Upgrading your beverage carbonator can be a very cost-effective measure. These systems are efficient and require less human intervention, as well. This allows you to grow your business without requiring that you grow your staff exponentially. You can use your valuable human resources to carry out the most important work and allow automated processes, like the beverage carbonator, to perform many of the routine tasks.
Talk with your equipment vendor about the various beverage carbonators available, so you can choose the one that best fits your beverage, your operation, and your budget. They can offer valuable advice on many aspects of growing your business in a way that is efficient and cost effective. Once you’ve added a beverage carbonation system to your line, you’ll be amazed at how much it improves your efficiency all while protecting the great flavor of your product. | <urn:uuid:8514eebc-a3c1-4142-8f5c-3a26074149d8> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.hubsite.biz/let-a-beverage-carbonator-improve-your-quality/ | 2021-11-29T07:46:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358702.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20211129074202-20211129104202-00230.warc.gz | en | 0.933189 | 378 | [

GOND ART #2
I love every form of art but my love for Indian art forms is different. And if you follow me then maybe you know that I love to do detailed work and lots of my artworks contain Heena patterns or another detailed work with some lines and patterns.
So, today again I am posting about GOND ART #trible art.
This one is my second Gond Art Painting.
This time I have used acrylic colors on canvas with black sharpies pen for minute details.

Hormonal Imbalance and Overeating – Is There A Connection?
Are you experiencing weight gain due to excessive eating? Can’t figure out the main reason behind overeating? Then you should know that hormonal imbalance can have a significant impact on your eating patterns and weight.
Hormones are substances that act as messengers. They are also responsible for regulating different processes in the body.
Hormones that can affect appetite and body metabolism are leptin, growth hormones, and sex hormones. Let’s dive into the details as to how hormonal imbalance may lead to overeating and weight gain.
The hormone leptin is produced by adipose tissue. It plays an important role in regulating energy balance. Maintaining stable levels of this hormone prevents overeating after consuming a balanced meal.
The leptin and the brain can’t communicate properly in leptin resistance due to a lack of leptin signaling. As a result, the leptin levels keep on increasing but the brain is unable to recognize them. The brain thinks that the person is still hungry, which ultimately stimulates overeating and increases the potential for weight gain. The leptin levels in overweight people are four times higher than the normal level.
Adrenal glands release a hormone called cortisol whenever the body is under stress. Cortisol is also known as the stress hormone. Acute stress is not a big deal as humans can cope with it. But in the modern era, most people are under chronic stress, which results in the overproduction of cortisol on a continual basis.
Imbalanced production of cortisol then triggers the appetite and urges a person to eat more and more. It also results in poor immune function, fat accumulation in the abdominal area , and loss of muscle mass.
Estrogen and Progesterone:
Eating behaviors, metabolism, and appetite can be greatly influenced by the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone. One of the main functions of estrogen is to encourage fat storage that is necessary to carry out reproductive functions.
Any fluctuations in the levels of estrogen during the menstrual cycle for women can affect the eating patterns that ultimately result in weight gain. Research shows that in the luteal phase, females tend to consume more calories than in the follicular phase. This is because, during the luteal phase, there’s more production of progesterone.
Insulin, secreted by the pancreas, plays an important role in maintaining blood sugar levels. After a meal, insulin is released into the bloodstream and transfers the glucose into cells.
When there is excess production of insulin, it may lead to insulin resistance. People who overeat and consume sugary, processed carbohydrates are more prone to develop insulin resistance. They often suffer from impaired brain insulin signaling, which can lead to metabolic syndrome.
Other hormones whose imbalance may result in overeating include:
- Glucagon-like Peptide
Hormones have a strong connection with eating behaviors and appetite. It can be tricky to navigate, but we can control hormonal imbalance by eating a proper diet, managing stress levels, and by minimizing exposure to exogenous estrogens. We can say that the key to hormonal balance is hidden in a healthy lifestyle.

From the age of thirteen Jared began sniffing glue. As he aged he moved on to many other drugs, and eventually heroin. To support his habits Jared became deeply involved with a group of guys in Sodom, Kawangware that took part in violent muggings. Today, many of those young men have been killed; among them were Jared’s brothers and his closest friend.
After going through the program we’ve been amazed to see the Lord perform a truly incredible transformation in this young man. He is indeed a new creation in Christ. He gives all the glory to God for rescuing him from his previous life. When he was baptized, he jumped out of the water, hands stretched to the sky praising God.
Every Sunday he faithfully attends church, and recently began bringing his nephews along with his mother. Not long after, his mother also gave her life to Christ. | <urn:uuid:6310674b-c12a-44b3-b812-39bc38508726> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.uzimaoutreach.org/single-post/2014/12/11/jared-s-story | 2021-12-07T06:29:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363336.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20211207045002-20211207075002-00550.warc.gz | en | 0.992788 | 189 | [

According to a survey by Mycredit on about 500 brokers aimed at assessing the impact of Covid-19 on the real estate market, the pandemic is likely to be followed by a declining trend of prices and the demand, although only in the short term. Commercial and industrial assets will be the most impacted by the crisis, while prices are likely to rise for residential properties.
EY estimates that the NPL operations will amount around 39 billion euro in 2020 and forecasts an expansion of the secondary market activities.
Scenari Immobiliari reports that residential transactions are expected to drop to 83 billion euro in 2020 from the previous 96 billion registered in 2019. The restart of the market heavily depends on the income of the households, which had suffered the closure of many businesses. Transactions, however, are expected to resume growing in 2021 (100 billion).

The operation concerns two assets in Rome and Monza and a 51% share in the Pegasus Fund, which holds the Eni HQ Palazzo Quinto in San Donato Milanese. Meanwhile, York Capital and Stoneweg acquired from Vittoria Assicurazioni four real estate developments consisting of 60 units in Parma, two complexes in Rome, and 200 units already built in Peschiera Borromeo (Milan).
In Rome, Tristan Fund sold an office building to Corum AM for an undisclosed amount. The asset is currently let to Colt Technologies.
Illimity Bank acquired a portfolio composed of mortgage loans and participating financial instruments from Tre Holding for a total of 130 million euro.

Recent research has also revealed there is a correlation between gambling issues and thoughts of suicide, with more than twice the number of people affected by gambling problems having considered suicide when compared to those who don’t suffer from a gambling issue. The more well-known the author and the more anticipated the book, the more quickly the price falls, making it less profitable for the retailer. When sales begin to decrease, the biggest retailers will mark down the average book heavily. We will begin with the market for books that are newly released by the publisher and then look at the market for books that are second or second as they are referred to, and finally, I will look at the market for used books.
Aaron was just 23 years old – an unassuming young man just beginning his adulthood. Large retailers will be able to tell they are betting on a particular thing and will purchase huge quantities of the book and then sell it at a huge discount the very first day it’s available. If you are unsure what to do, begin by loading the game in Practice Mode. The books can then be listed online at a fair price so that you can offer them while they are still in their original condition. You can get เซ็กซี่บาคาร่า better pricing by purchasing bulk quantities. Some banks even have specific subjects.
There is no reason not to choose an online bookseller, whether you’re new to the business or looking to maximize your profits. This article will examine the potential market for selling online. I will talk about the source’s wholesale price what you pay as a bookseller and the retail price what you could sell them for online, and how they relate to the business opportunity. For books that aren’t as popular, like textbooks, you can get the cover price if the book is brand new. They could still make money and buy the book for a lower price because they paid less for it. | <urn:uuid:0e3eae20-74f0-45ad-9070-a5d6cc21f37e> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://pittsburghendthewar.org/help-in-gambling-game/ | 2021-12-01T04:08:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964359082.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20211201022332-20211201052332-00270.warc.gz | en | 0.968254 | 412 | [

Spice up your New Year with a meal plan full of recipes that feature a little bit of a kick. I love a good spicy recipe, so why not feature a bunch of recipes that give you the option to enjoy a little heat in the otherwise chilly time of year.
To start off your spicy week, I’m going with chicken. Both of these recipes are so so delish and you all know I love chicken (if you’ve been around here for awhile!).
It’s Tuesday and you all know what that means. Yup, it’s taco time. And for our favorite day of my favorite spicy week, we’re sharing two different chipotle tacos for you to try. Option one will give you smokey flavors, while option two offers spicy with a hint of sweet.
Pork in two very different ways. A pork loin or ribs.
When it comes to spicy seafood, we have a few options for you to try. You know how important seafood is in creole and cajun cooking, so our spicy-week recipe options offer the best of those flavors – one with shrimp and one with salmon.
Wild card gameday calls for chorizo two ways! I vote that you don’t have to choose and, instead, try both! Dip and chorizo bites are both perfect to enjoy while watching some football. So sit back, relax and enjoy some chorizo goodness.
Two warm, comforting smoky chipotle recipes to enjoy on Sunday. Option one offers a way to add a little spice to your everyday pot roast and option two will have you re-thinking how you enjoy your Sunday chili! | <urn:uuid:583034bf-07c5-4311-92c0-d6ba27c9b261> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://lakegenevacountrymeats.com/blog/weekly-meal-plan/weekly-meal-plan-january-4-10-2020 | 2021-12-02T16:14:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362230.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20211202145130-20211202175130-00590.warc.gz | en | 0.925694 | 382 | [

See the Adelaide City Map.
Most of the beaches immediatedly west and southwest of the city are just as nice as the many northwest Beaches of Adelaide. Some would argue even nicer.
The beachside suburb of West Beach also has a great beach, wonderful for swimming and a family day out. Situated between the popular beachside suburbs of Glenelg and Henley. There is actually a number of family suitable accommodation places here, including a caravan park and a resort. A large shopping centre is located here as well, a favourite with locals and visitors.
Glenelg has not only a great beach to spend the day at, but a very active night life. Luxury hotels and resorts are also situated here, while a regular tram service can take you to the city and back. It also has a wide variety of restaurants and other eateries to choose from as well as bars and entertainment venues.
The beach itself stretches for a long way with soft, crystal white sands. There is a long jetty there, suitable for fishing from or if on the beach, provides shade.
The two kilometre long beach at Somerton is quite popular with the locals of Adelaide. Fishing is popular here as is enjoying the magnificent beach for swimming and a great day out. It stretches from Glenelg to the beach at Brighton. There are plenty of places to eat, the surf club watches over swimmers between flagged areas during the warmer months and weekends. Remember to swim between the flags!
Situated between Seacliff and Somerton, the beachside suburb of Brighton has a long beach, suitable for families. Small shops and a variety of eateries are conveniently located behind the beach. A caravan parks provides a variety of family accommodation, including not only sites for caravans, but cabins and ocean view villas.
This pleasant beach is normally quite safe for swimming. The presence of a Surf Life Saving Club only makes it better when swimming between the flags.
At high tide you can find good fishing here at Mario Rocks.

Editor’s note: From “climate adaptation” to “blue carbon,” from “landscape approach” to “ecosystem services,” environmental jargon is everywhere these days. Our Conservation News blog looks to make sense of it in an occasional explainer series we’re calling “What on Earth?”
In this installment, we break down “natural capital,” a concept that could revolutionize the way nature is protected.
What is “natural capital”?
It’s the stock of renewable and non-renewable natural resources (e.g., plants, animals, air, water, soils, minerals) that combine to provide benefits to people.
What kind of benefits are we talking about?
The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the wildlife that maintain healthy ecosystems, the forests that absorb carbon from the atmosphere and regulate climate — all of that comes from nature.
So natural capital is simply “stuff that nature does”? That seems rather broad.
Here’s another way to think of it: Imagine that nature is a trust fund, and humans are the beneficiaries. Humans live off the “interest” that the fund provides — the air, water, raw materials, carbon storage and its ability to regulate climate and mitigate floods, and so on. If humans keep dipping into the capital — by clearing too much forest, for example — we’re going to see diminishing returns from those dividends, to say nothing of their ability to continue to provide benefits over time.
That makes sense as an idea, but what does it mean in practice?
First, you have to identify which of our most important dependencies (the benefits we rely upon) are from nature, and the impact we have on the ecosystems that provide those benefits. This often will require an understanding of what these benefits (or impacts) are, who benefits from them and for what purposes, as well as how these benefits flow to specific users.
A great deal of natural capital is in the tropics — that’s where many of the world’s biggest natural repositories of carbon, wildlife and fresh water are (think rainforests, wetlands and the like). This represents a bulk of the “trust fund” — or stocks — from which we can identify how dividends flow to a range of users. Knowing the size of the stocks and the flow of the dividends over time to specific users — information that can be mapped — are critical to figure out the value of both the benefits and the stocks that provide them. Ultimately, the value is intended to help policymakers and decision-makers better understand the critical role of nature in economic development, and to inform a wide range of policy decisions and management choices by public, private and financial sectors.
Placing a value on nature — that seems kind of cold-hearted, no?
“We have historically ignored [nature’s] benefits and the value they provide to society,” says Rosimeiry Portela, an ecological economist with the Moore Center for Science at Conservation International. “Those benefits have been taken for granted — and we are using them at a rate that the Earth cannot replenish.”
In a world of finite resources, she says, many see the valuation of nature’s benefits as a way to make the contribution of nature to livelihoods and economies visible. This can inform more sustainable choices, including market-based conservation, which can be crucial for protecting nature from unrestrained consumption. Individuals, business and society depend on and impact nature, so by establishing nature’s value, we can foster efforts to account for nature’s benefits and ensure their continuous flows over time.
So why would a business want to “account” for the value of its natural capital?
To create value and to grow, every business has to be efficient and make better decisions — and if you’re not incorporating natural capital into your decision-making, you may be missing risks and opportunities.
An example: If you’re a coffee company, you need a steady and sustainable source of high-quality beans — and for that, you rely on water and pollination from the surrounding habitat that coffee crops require. If your suppliers in Central America degrade these habitats — or if climate change alters how or where your coffee crops can grow — the quality or quantity of your supply can suffer, or you could alienate consumers who want a product that doesn’t cause deforestation. These are risks that could hurt your bottom line.
This video from the World Business Council for Sustainable Development sums it up nicely (story continues below):
Got it. But how do you quantify nature’s value in your business?
You need some kind of standardized system for it that you can apply across the board — any business sector, in any geography, at any level. That’s where the Natural Capital Protocol comes in.
What’s the Natural Capital Protocol?
The Protocol is a new framework designed to help generate credible and actionable information to help businesses measure and value their impacts and dependencies on natural capital, enabling them to, in essence, integrate nature into their operations. Developed jointly by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Conservation International, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and others, the Protocol already counts the support of 50 major companies, including Coca-Cola, Dow, Hugo Boss, Kering, Nestle, Roche and Shell, Portela says.
- A scientific treasure hunt to find — and save — nature’s ‘capital’
- How CI is mapping the ecosystems people rely on
Give me some examples of companies that are valuing natural capital.
A key component of natural capital — water — offers a few interesting examples. Puma, the sports apparel maker, has measured the impact of its water use across its entire supply chain, from its own operations to raw materials production. Being able to measure and monitor the natural capital it relies upon is helping Puma reduce its environmental impact, including working with manufacturers in its supply chain on responsibilities and costs associated with water usage, and exploring new materials and products that are more water-efficient.
For Coca-Cola, water scarcity is a clearly natural capital dependence, and one that poses a risk to its business model. As a result, the company has made efforts to measure the water that it returns to the environment, as well as to improve how it manages water and conserves freshwater ecosystems. Coca-Cola has an ambitious target to safely replenish as much water as it uses in its beverages by 2020; by the end of 2012, it had replenished more than half of the water it used.
How would companies use this Natural Capital Protocol?
The Protocol and relevant documentation — available online at naturalcapitalcoalition.org/protocol — describe how to identify, measure and value the parts of nature that businesses rely on and impact.
“It’s a very pragmatic framework that can be used by any business, in any geography, any sector, to make better management decisions,” Portela says. An indicator of the relevance of this kind of framework, she says, is the fact that some originally proprietary methods to measure business impact and dependence on natural capital have now been made available through the Protocol, and can be used by companies that seek to better understand and manage their interactions with nature.
What happens next?
Portela says that proponents of the Protocol are confident that more businesses will see that it’s in their interest to understand their impact and dependence on nature, and act accordingly.
“This is a global movement of companies, academia, non-profit organizations and other initiatives that are coming together, hoping to provide an important path for businesses to be better stewards of nature.”

As I was reading the letter, I remembered something that I had read in the book, ‘The Struggle for Zimbabwe’, by David Martin and Phyllis Johnson, that at one time part of the expenses of running the ZANU PF offices in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) were paid for by the Israeli embassy in that country.
This led me to ask myself loads of questions as to why the Israeli government – which was, and still is, a staunch ally of the Unites States, and the United Kingdom, and is at the fore-front of oppressing and subjugating Palestinians after illegally occupying their land since 1947 – would be interested in sponsoring an organisation that is purportedly fighting racism, oppression, and Western colonialism and hegemony.
This did not make sense at all.
What interest did the Israelis have in ZANU PF?
The answer did not come easy, but a study of ZANU PF’s background helped shed some light.
When ZANU PF was formed in 1964, the leaders of the Frontline States (now the Southern African Development Community – SADC) quickly saw through its divisive and sectarian nature.
In January 1969, the seven genuine liberation movements on the African continent – including ZAPU from the then Rhodesia and the African National Congress (ANC) from South Africa – met in Khartoum (Sudan), at which they consolidated their bond as the ‘natural allies’ and authentic liberation movements of Africa.
These liberation movements were guided by a sincere desire for independence, and the struggle against colonialism, neocolonialism, imperialism, and exploitation of man by man.
They were vehemently opposed to any tribalism, regionalism, divisionism, and racialism.
However, ZANU PF did not attend this meeting.
It chose to align itself with movements as Angola’s UNITA led by the late Jonas Savimbi.
These organisations were clearly divisive and tribalistic – and clearly sponsored by the West.
In fact, Mozambique’s Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (Frelimo) said that ZANU PF was guided by power-hunger, and ‘represented dangerous divisions, and tribal secessionist tendencies’, as well as being ‘racist and undisciplined’.
Throughout the 1960s and 70s liberation struggle, ZANU PF was always viewed with disdain by the Frontline States, as its policies clearly ran contrary to the aspirations of the people.
Before the formation of ZANU PF, the indigenous people of this country were united, and lived peacefully side by side irrespective of tribe.
They had the common aim of liberating themselves from the shackles of colonialism and imperialism.
However, ZANU PF brought about chaos and fighting between tribes, as it played the tribe card everytime.
Joshua Nkomo, the leader of ZAPU was loved and admired throughout the country, and the party’s structures clearly represented all the tribes in the country.
On the contrary, ZANU PF portrayed itself, as a Shona party and gave the impression that ZAPU was for the Ndebele.
This worked very much against the spirit of the liberation struggle, and provided an edge to the Ian Smith-led colonial regime, as Blacks were now fighting each other, instead of one common enemy.
One might then ask why ZANU PF finally waged the liberation war using Mozambique as a rear base.
Well, it is a complicated issue that needs its own article, but simply put, when Frelimo opened up the western part of Mozambique on 7 and 8 March 1968 during its own liberation struggle, it offered ZAPU to use this as an entry into Rhodesia to fight.
However, at that time, ZAPU was embroiled in fierce divisions and was not ready to commence fighting.
As it turned out, the fighting within ZAPU was being orchestrated by ZANU PF’s Mugabe through their proxy James Chikerema, who was the ZAPU Vice President and leader in exile.
In 1967, ZANU PF’s Mugabe was trying to form a Zezuru alliance with Chikerema, so that if ZAPU ousted Nkomo, then they could form a united party led by Zezurus.
Again, that will be a topic for another article.
But the divisive and tribalistic machinations between Mugabe and Chikerema resulted in the debilitation of ZAPU, which made it unable to take up Frelimo’s offer.
Since Frelimo was eager for the liberation struggle to take off in Rhodesia, it then reluctantly opted for ZANU PF.
As Samora Machel stated at the time, ‘we do not support ZANU, but support the people of Zimbabwe’, and so they would reluctantly work with any group ready to wage a liberation war.
Therefore, Frelimo and ZANU PF started off with a tentative meeting at Dar es Salaam’s Twiga Hotel in 1968, and an agreement reached in 1970.
ZANU PF, through its divisive machinations managed to lead the liberation struggle until independence in 1980.
So where do the Israelis and the US fit in all this?
I strongly believe that ZANU PF was formed by these Western powers in order to sow hatred and division amongst the people of Zimbabwe, so that the authentic liberation movement would not win the struggle, and as such, threaten the interests of the Western powers.
When ZANU PF succeeded in derailing the authentic liberation movement, it proceeded to the Lancaster House Conference in London (England), and consented to a new constitution that virtually safeguarded and guaranteed the interests of the colonial powers.
They agreed to a 10-year dubious ‘willing seller, willing buyer’ constitutional guarantee on land – the very land that the whole liberation struggle was supposed to have been premised on.
Even after, the 10-year period, the ZANU PF regime had no intention of seriously redressing these colonial land imbalances.
The ZANU PF regime was clearly serving the interests of the colonial powers who had created it for that very purpose.
That is why the West was conspicuously quiet throughout the 1980s Gukurahundi atrocities in Matebeleland and the Midlands, as they still needed ZANU PF to continue with its project of safeguarding colonial interests.
There was never any talk of human rights abuses, or sanctions – instead Mugabe was globetrotting to Western capitals and being awarded all sorts of honours and honorary degrees for his ‘exceptional leadership’, despite the fact that his Fifth Brigade was butchering tens of thousands of people in cold blood.
As long as their interests were preserved, the West did not care.
Had the West not changed their allegiances to the Movement of Democratic Change (MDC) in 1999, the land question would have never been tackled.
That is when Mugabe panicked and embarked on arguably one of the most chaotic and bloody programmes in this country’s history.
The manner it was carried out, clearly showed that Mugabe had not planned it – as he had not banked on the West switching allegiances.
Even veterans of the liberation struggle were conveniently forgotten and discarded after 1980, as they had only been pawns in ZANU PF and the West’s agenda, and as such, were no longer needed.
Even today, war veterans are being beaten up by the ZANU PF regime  – no wonder.
Today, ZANU PF is still as power-hungry as ever, and still ‘represents dangerous divisions, and tribal tendencies…racist and undisciplined’, as Samora Machel’s Frelimo so correctly pointed out nearly 50 years ago.
Indeed, it has more in common with its chosen ally, UNITA, than any self-respecting liberation movement.
Therefore, it is clear that ZANU PF was never genuinely a liberation movement, but was planted by Israel, probably on behalf of the US and UK, to safeguard their interests, as they knew that should an authentic liberation movement come to power, it would focus on genuinely empowering the majority of the people of Zimbabwe, something that the West saw as a threat.

“Get busy living or get busy dying.” While plucked from a pop culture movie, in some ways it encompasses the Taoist mantra combined with the American mindset. Things happen in every person’s life that makes it seem like the days are never going to end. With every new stressor, time creeps on. In the end though, you have to get busy living or get busy dying. The only great hope is that either you will figure this out or that someone will inspire you to do so.
“Yesterday is History. Tomorrow is a Mystery. Today is a gift, that is why they call it the Present.” This is a longer and somewhat more picturesque version of the first quote. It embodies the same ideal though, live for now. Remember the lessons of yesterday but do not dwell. Look forward to tomorrow but do not lose sight of where you live today. | <urn:uuid:ede988b5-5a5a-4440-becf-381db8d2f58a> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://desertpanda.com/2013/05/09/living-today/ | 2021-12-09T01:04:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363641.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20211209000407-20211209030407-00590.warc.gz | en | 0.953145 | 185 | [

Get acquainted with
your new best friend
Forget being stuck in traffic or fighting the crowds with public transport, and say hello to the Jed Board. The Jed Board was designed to get you where you need to go, reliably and every time. Built as a vehicle it will be the last one you ever need.
Forget about range anxiety, and get where you need to
The Jed Board features our unique and patent pending Jed Drive™. Unlike other electric skateboards that use belts or motors in the wheel, the Jed Drive™ is built around an all metal gearbox just like in your car. It provides incredible efficiency and free rolling, lets you use regular longboard wheels and offers a real world range of up to 25km per charge on our airline friendly swappable 144Wh batteries.
A remote like nothing else
The Jed Board remote was designed to be simple. You pick it up to get going, there's no buttons. It's equipped with the latest radio technology offering interference resilience and the highest levels of encryption. The ePaper display gives you clear information in any lighting condition, and the large LiFePO4 battery gives you up to 30 days of continuous usage per charge.
Power meets safety
With a total of up to 4kW power (AWD) and 40km/hr top speed (80mm wheels), the Jed Board packs a punch to tackle the steepest of hills in a flash. What's all that power if you can't use it safely? That's why we designed a safety system into our brakes that allows the board to stop even when the battery is fully charged. Our remote also features a safety mechanism that stops unintended acceleration when you're not holding it. | <urn:uuid:67e975ad-69e3-4209-8139-326129a8982e> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://jedboards.com/ | 2021-12-01T06:36:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964359093.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20211201052655-20211201082655-00630.warc.gz | en | 0.944615 | 347 | [

Figures suggest that the average victim of a pension scam lost £91,000 to fraudsters in 2017 but the real number could be even higher.
Most victims of the crime never report it to the police which means there could be even more cases than authorities are unaware of.
Many of them were caught out of by cold-calls, promises of high return rates or offers of free pension reviews.
Action Fraud, a reporting centre for cyber crime and fraud, revealed two people each lost more than £1 million in savings to fraudsters, with "very slim" chances of getting their money back.
The chances of gaining a fraction of this money back is highly unlikely, especially when cases are reported too slowly.
Nicola Parish, The Pension Regulator's executive director of frontline regulation, said: "Victims of scams are often traumatised by what has happened to them and many inevitably are left questioning how they are going to afford to retire.
"The average loss of a victim is £91,000 but these Action Fraud reports show that people can also lose much, much more.
"However large your pension pot, you must be vigilant and able to spot and avoid a scam."
Research conducted by the Financial Conduct Authority in August and September 2018 suggests that more than half (52%) of 45-65-year-olds with a pension believe they are too savvy to be targeted by a pension scam.
A ban on these nuisance calls came into force earlier this month and firms that break rules could face penalties of up to £500,000.
Some 10.9 million unsolicited pension calls and messages are made a year, according to Citizens Advice. | <urn:uuid:3646d7a9-57f5-464c-9ee9-646ae38bd69b> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/two-pension-scam-victims-lose-15742837 | 2021-12-02T22:13:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362297.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20211202205828-20211202235828-00310.warc.gz | en | 0.978134 | 340 | [

The kn95 mask is not a disposable mask. In this special case (resource shortage), it can be reused. But there are conditions:
However, masks cannot be reused if people go to the hospital, come into contact with an infected person, or are suspected to be infected.

Another appealing adjustable in Sydney Valuation is costing the replacement value of a building. This cost has distorted mainly because of the swiftly escalating cost of building materials. Also fine builders in this place are not sour of do something so have just been escalating their prices. I have had a few stories come across my desk of people delaying plans to construct on your own to locate that costs have behind taking place hence much they have not been nimble to do something.
I pass judgment it amusing that everyone hears not quite the ample pouring into the big aussie companies related to BHP and Blue Steel but fail to realise how that impacts them until they meet the expense of a ruling to go and construct a residence. Know More : www.sydneypropertyvaluations.net.au
A project residence builder like Parry Homes have been impacted less than independent builders. They used to be skillful to construct brick veneer in report to definite slab for deadened $800 a square metre and now are regarding $1000 M2. To construct a fine vibes dwelling considering hardwood floors and improved than average fittings will now cost together surrounded by $1500 – $2000 M2 – less for the garage and decks. A couple of years ago you could construct a enjoyable character, architect intended burning for $1000 to $1200 a M2.
One of the newer finance options creature offered by boutique take to the lead lenders is the Equity Finance Mortgage – EFM. I don’t see the advantage of this one for anyone subsidiary than people who locate it hard accrual the full stockpile. Basically the lender coughs going on some of the depsoit maintenance but as well as shares in the equity lump as soon as the property is finally sold. Of course, the banks scratch themselves a affable concurrence and for investing 20% of the buildup child maintenance and subsequently having the mortgagee pay 100% of the charm payments they can expect to earn occurring to 40% of the capital profit come selling era.
He plans to turn the elevator into a shark cage. Valuation process is defined as doing Property Valuer Sydney to know property’s price. Henn’s industrial acrylic paint is designed to stand up to the wear of hundreds of thousands of visitors leaning into beveled viewing windows between his painted palms and South Sea skies.
The Newport Aquarium is progressing slightly ahead of schedule and should have no trouble opening on May 1, said aquarium spokeswoman Lisa Popyk. The first occupants will be 16 king penguins, scheduled to arrive from Japan by plane and truck in January. They will move directly into the aquarium, said Ms. Popyk. By then, several other new tenants could be waiting their turns in holding tanks at a nearby Newport warehouse. The first acquisition, a fresh water creature, will be introduced next week.
When the aquarium doors open, aquatic animals will greet visitors from behind thick acrylic windows in 54 fish tanks. Two hundred feet of acrylic tunnels will virtually surround visitors with 22 sharks, eels, a kelp bed and coral reef. Fresh water fish will fill a foot Ohio River tank, complete with shore line and towering Fiberglas trees.A bridge will carry visitors over an alligator pond in a Louisiana bayou scene. The penguins will breathe 50-degree air and swim in 36-degree water. An ice machine in the ceiling will create periodic ice showers.
Each tank must maintain a specific environment for the species in the aquarium. Copper and plastic water pipes snake through the building to supply fresh and salt water. ”We’ll have people doing 20 water tests a day,” said Ms. Popyk. ”We’ll use eight different kinds of salts and chemicals.”The warehouse tanks have the same Sydney Property Valuer capabilities and will act as holding tanks for acquisitions that arrive before the aquarium tanks are ready or that need to be quarantined before joining the aquarium population. That warehouse also will serve as an infirmary for sick fish.Fish aren’t the only acquisitions in the offing. The aquarium staff is growing daily.
Most of the technical staff is already on board. The full marketing and administrative staff should be hired by February. And workers to staff the restaurant, gift shop, ticket counters, and parking garage will quickly follow.”We’ll have employees by the time the doors open,” said Lori Broomhead, director of marketing. ”We have less than 20 now.”Nobody is more excited about today’s casting of the world’s largest swinging bell than the man whose time, money and dreams are tied up in it.Property valuation is conducted by expert valuer to avoid any issues. | <urn:uuid:2cee46b2-ea54-4ea0-bcdb-602bb8bc7019> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | http://donneoltre.com/tag/property-valuation/ | 2021-12-06T02:31:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363229.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20211206012231-20211206042231-00310.warc.gz | en | 0.950136 | 962 | [

Middle Eastern LNG heavyweight Qatar is eyeing investments in unconventional gas in Australia, raising possibility of it buying a stake in BG's QCLNG project, The Australian Financial Review reports.
The paper cited an unnamed source close to Qatar Petroleum International, the investment vehicle of the Qatari government, as saying that the fund wanted long-term exposure to alternative gas sources through direct equity investments.
"We don't see a country like Australia as a competitor but as an opportunity," the source told the paper.
"Coal seam gas is still in its early stages but we are interested in all of the opportunities across the oil and gas chain and if something comes up in Australia, we will take a serious look at it," he said.
BG is conducting an auction for the sale of a minority stake in its LNG project, and even though both the size of the stake and the potential for LNG offtake is up for negotiation, it is understood the sale is of only a stake in the liquefaction plant.
While the Qatari executive refused to be drawn on its participation in BG's auction process, analysts note that interest would be pretty high especially if an offtake deal can be struck.
And a direct equity stake is especially likely with Qatar's sovereign wealth fund recently disclosing a 2% shareholding in French energy major Total, which has a stake in the Santos-backed Gladstone LNG project.
The guessing game is still on: Hess is playing the cards close to its chest regarding which of the LNG projects in Western Australia will be the final destination of gas from its Equus field, The Australian reports.
Hess still is not giving an indication of who the gas will be sold to even though industry chatter has it that Woodside might clinch a deal for its Pluto expansion.
The paper cited documents submitted to the federal Environment Department in which Hess has asked for approval to sell its gas from 2018 to either Chevron's Wheatstone project, Woodside's Pluto or the Woodside-operated North West Shelf project.
It is understood that Hess is possibly closer to a decision as the US firm has stepped up its hiring, even though the company itself is sticking to its earlier decision of waiting until middle of this year before choosing a buyer.
Hess is hoping to make a final investment decision on Equus in mid-2013 with first gas and LNG being sold in early 2018.
Given the lead time of four to five years to move from an FID to a scheduled loading of first LNG cargo, it appears a final decision on either a Pluto expansion or Wheatstone expansion (depending on who Hess sells to) will be made next year.
Chevron's South American headache is getting worse, with prosecutors in Brazil acting to stop 17 Chevron executives from leaving the country as they file criminal charges against officials from Chevron and drilling contractor Transocean, AFR reports.
The move to prohibit the 17 officials from leaving the country comes as a new oil seepage emerges near the offshore well where at least 416,000 litres of oil spilled last year.
Officials targeted include George Buck chief operating officer of Chevron's Brazilian division. Prosecutors will be filing charges including "environmental crimes" in a federal court next week.
Last week, Chevron confirmed that there was a "small new oil seepage" and that it was working to collect the crude.
Brazil's National Petroleum Agency (ANP) said that the size of the leak was unknown and that it was detected as an oil slick appeared on the ocean surface. However, the agency said the leak was not coming from the well that leaked last year.
Chevron has asked ANP for permission to halt all production activities saying it wants to conduct a "comprehensive technical study" to better understand the reservoirs where it is drilling. | <urn:uuid:470f714f-aa94-4f7d-8a4a-e7c9e3082018> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.energynewsbulletin.net/premium-features/news/1083610/news-wrap-qatar-lng-investments-hess-and-chevron | 2021-12-06T02:51:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363229.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20211206012231-20211206042231-00310.warc.gz | en | 0.971049 | 788 | [

Activist investor Land & Buildings on Thursday resumed its criticism of Canadian department store owner Hudson’s Bay Co, urging it to correct its under-performance and extract value from its substantial real estate holdings.
The hedge fund, which has been agitating for change at HBC, agreed in December to cease public statements about the company until its annual shareholder meeting on June 12. That was in exchange for concessions from the company in a deal with Rhône Capital that the fund said gave the U.S. private equity firm preferential treatment.
Now, Land & Buildings founder Jonathan Litt is again pushing HBC to boost its share price, which is significantly below the value of its assets following a run of earnings disappointments, and to monetize its prime property assets.
The fund held a stake of nearly 5 percent in the company last July and has not provided an updated figure for its holding.
Hudson’s Bay declined to comment.
“It has become clear that the familiar refrain blaming the challenges of the macro retail environment no longer rings true,” Litt said in a letter to shareholders, comparing the company’s share performance with its peers’.
Hudson’s Bay shares are up 4.4 percent this year, compared with a 40 percent gain in the S&P 500 department store index SPLRCT, used as a benchmark because of the store’s big presence in the United States. On Thursday, shares were little changed at $11.78 at 10:52 a.m. in Toronto trading.
Hudson’s Bay’s real estate is worth $31 a share, Litt said.
The company has taken some steps to turn its performance around. In December, it sold its flagship Lord & Taylor building in Manhattan and received a US$500 million ($632 million) investment from Rhône as part of that deal. It said this month that it would close that store and up to nine others and had agreed to sell its unprofitable online banner Gilt.
HBC also has signed a conditional agreement to sell its eponymous flagship store property in Vancouver, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters in May.
Chief Executive Officer Helena Foulkes, who took over in February, also has said all options are on the table in its quest to improve profitability.
Litt also flagged concerns over Executive Chairman Richard Baker’s US$54.8 million pay package, which was approved by shareholders but opposed by investors including the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan and the California Public Employees’ Retirement System.
