Project management is a way of organising and managing resources to successfully complete a project, in the most effective and efficient way possible.
Projects are separate, unique and temporary pieces of work undertaken to achieve specific objectives in business. The management of such work often requires special skills, tools and techniques. However, certain basic principles of project management apply universally.
This guide outlines the essential best practices that are specific to each of the five stages of project management. These phases include initiation, definition and planning, implementation, monitoring and project closure. | <urn:uuid:9c9049b8-a120-48e0-b070-e40f12df29c1> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://nibusinessinfo.co.uk/content/project-management | 2021-12-06T02:38:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363229.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20211206012231-20211206042231-00313.warc.gz | en | 0.907821 | 112 | [

First let me say that we felt that we were lucky to get Tim Phelps as our builder. He came highly recommended, and was even described to us as the builder’s builder! When he completed our house we were inclined to agree! We never worried throughout the entire building of our house! He was always available to address issues as they arose. To be honest, I had so many different changes that I wanted to put in place - Tim and his team were always accommodating. Changes were completed quickly and efficiently. We had excellent communication throughout the building process. Tim is honest, reliable and trustworthy. We feel very fortunate to have Tim and his team build our home and we are truly grateful! Without hesitation we would recommend Tim Phelps! Anita Leveaux
Tim Phelps and Company helped us to move from remodeling ideas and dreams to a completed project. We redesigned two bathrooms, replaced skylights and upgraded our fireplace. He worked with us on meeting our schedule. His team from office staff to subcontractors were all skilled professionals. We are very pleased with our remodel and are planning other projects! Lise and Clyde Holt
I would like to say Tim Phelps & Co. are the Best people to have do your building projects. Our project was great. They are honest, reliable & they get the job done at a good price. They offer ideas to help you along the process. They take Pride in their work. So Thankful we chose them to do our building. What a great team. They built us a 40 x 80 Fellowship Hall. We all just love it. Jo-Ann Slaughter, Hickory Chapel Free Will Baptist Church, Ahoskie, NC
I have used Tim Phelps and Co. to do several repairs to my house and office in the past 3-4 years. The work that they do is very professional and excellent. They have been available to work when scheduled with you, being on time and punctual. They leave the premises clean after finishing. They have offered suggestions to remodeling efforts and have given ideas that have saved time and money and look very good. The final bill has been reasonable for the services provided. I would recommend their services to anyone.
Tim Phelps is one of the best builders or if not the best builder in Eastern North Carolina. He choose the best sub contractors and he is always checking on the build. He is a very experienced builder and you can trust him. My wife and I are very satisfied with him. Great job. Darrel & Sungcha West
Tim has completed several renovation projects for us. He is very professional, does craftsman work at a reasonable cost. The most important part is that he is dependable. I have recommended him several times. Jeff Sackrison
Sarah and I can't begin to tell you how ecstatic we are with the fabulous home you built for us overlooking the Sound. Thanks to you & your expert guidance, we have the exact type of home we dreamed of ... such high quality, open, airy, and tons of light. We're so appreciative of how easy it was to work with you through the design & construction phases, and how attentive you have been, even after you handed over the keys to us! Thanks again, Mike & Sarah LoPiano
I would gladly recommend Tim Phelps & Co. for any construction project, new or renovation. I was so pleased with the screen porch addition that he did a few years ago that I asked him to do a bathroom remodel that is almost complete as of this writing. Everything has moved quickly, on schedule and in a very professional manner. I will call Tim for any future building needs. Mickey Spruill
I am pleased to recommend Tim Phelps & Company as a reliable contractor who provides quick and quality workmanship at reasonable cost. I have known Tim for more than 30 years and have always found him to be a man of his word. When he takes a job it is reassuring to know that it will be completed according to quality specifications.
The company also helps with insurance claims to maximize benefit to the owner. In cases where property has been damaged, he helps to make sure the property is restored as near as possible to its original condition. I have found it comforting to know he does not settle for less.
Employing Tim Phelps & Company for construction work or repair work is an easy decision for any owner because of his promptness, reliability, and workmanship. I will not hesitate to employ him again and recommend him to any prospective client.
Sincerely, John B. Dunn, Ed.D.
It is with genuine pleasure and satisfaction that we write this letter of recommendation in support of Tim Phelps & Company as your builder and/or project renovator. We worked with Tim on the renovation/addition of our waterfront porch, master bedroom and master bathroom. His input, knowledge, and recommendations were invaluable. We explained to him what we wanted, and he exceeded all of our expectations. The workmanship is second to none and his team did an amazing job. Being our weekend home, it was nice to come down on a Friday evening and see the outside grounds and inside of the house clean during construction. We are getting ready to add an addition on to this same home and Tim and his company will be doing that job as well. Sincerely, Kathy & Dave Mullsteff
We purchased a cottage located in the Historic Cotton Mill Village of Edenton North Carolina July of 2016 knowing that it would require lots of work to make it our home and enhance its historical appearance. We had many trying days and weeks attempting to accomplish the various projects we had listed for our home. Contractors would not return calls or would show up then never heard from again. After spinning our wheels and an enormous amount of frustration someone recommended that we call Mike Whistler, a local Brick Mason. Mike came out took a look at his part of the project and talked with me about all the various items we were trying to accomplish and he recommended I call Tim Phelps of Tim Phelps & Company. In fact Mike called Tim and put me on the phone with him. We made an appointment and when Tim came out to our home with his dog Murphy and we handed him our list my wife and I knew we had the right man to bring our home to life. Tim took our list provided a cost to accomplish the tasks and immediately set to work. Along the way we made changes and additions which Tim took in stride and just kept moving forward. The subcontractors he used were all helpful and professional. The bottom line is Tim did what he said he would do in an honest straight forward manner and was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He would say to me “I can do that I can get it done.”
These few words don’t express the worry and frustration we had prior to meeting Tim. We love Edenton and because of Tim we have the home we had hoped for. The mark of a good contractor is would you use him again? Yes we would! Gary & Beth Campbell
We have had Tim do work for our company numerous times. We call and he returns the call within a few hours and most of the time will be on the job site within the week. We would highly recommend you to call Tim for any construction you need.
Elizabeth Stallings, MCP Ventures, LLC
Sally and I heartily recommend Tim Phelps & Co. During the time just prior to Hurricane Isabel’s arrival with 7’ storm surge, we engaged Tim to remodel a small half bath. Then came the storm to our waterfront & in the water home. What followed once the water and moisture were under control was a complete restoration of the first floor including a redo of the kitchen he had previously done. With the extensive damage to the community tradesman were scarce. As I recall from the September storm, we had the use of our kitchen Christmas morning. (We lived upstairs during the project) Later we had Tim design an enclosure for our large back porch which has become a focal point for much of our living. We are well pleased with the results. He has also promptly attended to several small requests. Jim & Sally Blount
I have know Mr. Phelps for several years and have always found him to be dedicated and trustworthy He has completed projects on my home and I would not hesitate to call on him or to recommend him to others. Patsy Taylor
Tim has performed enormously well for us. He first took down an old house on the Albemarle Sound that I had since 1972. He was careful to remove and preserve a large amount of the paneling that I wanted reused in the new house. He built a new house with especially finishing carpentry that has received large amounts of praise. About three years ago, I enlarged this house by adding a formal dining room, study, garage, and an additional bedroom above the garage. Once again, there was flawless execution and beautiful finishing carpentry. In between these projects, pipes had frozen and the old house had become flooded with several inches of water throughout the entire house. Tim and his crew were immediately available and got that water up. Nevertheless, the entire wood floor on the first floor was damaged and he worked closely with the insurance company to get new flooring that looks much better than the old flooring installed. All of this was done with my insurance covering everything. It was about a $30,000 project covered completely by insurance. Finally, with a very cold spell a year later, additional piping froze. Tim had this fixed immediately and found that the problem with that pipe freezing was inadequate insulation in the attic. Even though it was something like seven years from the original construction, he was able to get the insulation company to fix that with no new charge to me.
Tim remains available, even though I am out of warranty, and fixes anything that we ask. I have never had a contractor that was this reliable. Sincerely yours, Darell D. Bigner, M.D., Ph.D.
Dear Tim, How do we even begin to thank you for the beautiful home that you built for us. You have wonderful people. You were able to understand our needs and implement them. All of you staff and workers were also very skilled and easy to work with, making the whole process from beginning to end painless. We feel that we chose the best when we selected you to be our builder. Thank you once again for your understanding ways and cooperation. Most of all, thank you for our beautiful
home. Always, Allan & Cindy Clarke
Dear Tim, The time has passes by so quickly since our first meeting and construction began on our new home.
The home you built for us is truly a “dream come true” and has exceeded our expectations in every way. The home is absolutely beautiful and we’ve has so many compliments on it.
It’s been an enjoyable working collaboration with you, the entire staff of Tim Phelps & Co, and Rita, who we couldn’t have done without! All the sub-contractors were wonderful to work with and some of them we’ve come to know pretty well. Our home is definitely reflects quality craftsmanship with attention to detail the only Tim Phelps & Co. can provided. Warm regards, Sandy & Kenny
To the whole crew, Thanks so much to every one of you for making our house a dream come true for us. It’s everything we dreamed it would be. You all were wonderful to work with and we’ll do it all again with Tim Phelps & Co. Fondly, Tom & Karen
Thank you for your help writing an estimate for our water damage. The money we saved came when we really needed it. God blesses those who blesses others. In Christian love, Chapel on the Sound
Dear Tim, Thank you so much. I LOVE my new bathroom. Linda
Patti and I would like to extend our thanks and appreciation for the recent work your company did in repairing the wainscoting in our new home. As usual, the work was topnotch and Patti and I are very pleased with the result.
Tim Phelps and Company employees were at their usual craftsman level performance. I would like to particularly thank Dale for his patience in getting the work scheduled and finished on time. Tell them to keep up the good work. Cheers, Les Kersey
Thank you for the work done at the Village Creek poolhouse. A special thanks to Dale and his special efforts to get it done right.
Robert Fabish, Treasure, Village Creek PO Assoc
Tim & Crew: We are very excited to spend the holidays in our new home. You made the building process so very smoothly for us. We appreciate all the great work you did on the house. You built a magnificent home for us & we couldn’t have asked for more.
Thanks again for everything. You are great to work with. Fondly, Joan & Rich Reboli
Thank you so much for all your help with the planning and then building of our home on the Sound, Tim. First, your brilliant suggestion to renovate the old cottage for our guest quarters has been worth a million dollars to us and to our extended family! Julio’s very creative design for the new construction was a challenge which you met, above and beyond expectations. Your support staff was always extremely helpful and your crews working the sire were always on top of whatever needed to be done.

You know, until you take those kicks out for a spin and mud, coffee, and food stains enter the picture. Tragic, I know.
Before you totally lose your sh*t let me introduce you to Jeff Esquillo—owner of Sole Fresh, a sneaker cleaning service in New Jersey.
Whether you're trying to rehab suede, leather, or mesh, Esquillo is here to make all your sneaker dreams come true.
Stained white sneakers
Cleaning solution + water
If you're dealing with a white leather shoe that has some nasty food stains, like these white Reebok Freestyle Hi sneakers, Esquillo says you'll need:
From there, remove the shoelaces and place them in a small bowl that's filled with water and two to three tablespoons of dish soap (he recommends Dawn, FYI). After dipping the laces a few times, take one side in each hand, and rub them together to help scrub out the stains. After a few rounds of this, let them soak and get to work on the rest of the shoe.
Next, time to clean the undersole. Esquillo says you should remove any "rocks, dirt, or debris stuck in the sole using a small tool, like a mini screwdriver or other pointy object." From there, he grabs his firm-bristled brush, dips it in a mixture of shoe cleaner solution (specifically, Reshoevn8r Shoe Cleaner) and water, then scrubs.
Esquillo advises wiping the shoe down with a white microfiber cloth—yeah, the type of cloth matters: "The microfiber towel is great for picking up the dirt stains on a white shoe," says Esquillo. Repeat the process of scrubbing and wiping as many times as needed until your shoes look fresh. Then, move on to the midsole (the side of the sole), and repeat the process here.
Now it's time to clean the top of the shoe, a.k.a. the upper. Once again, break out your scrubby brush—but this time go for a medium or medium-firm brush—and get to work scrubbing (goodbye, nasty coffee stains!) Again, keep scrubbing and wiping until that shoe is sparkling. This usually doesn't take more than one go, but Esquillo says that once the shoe is dry, you can use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to clean up any leftover stains.
To finish off the shoe, put the clean, dry, laces back in place. And voila! A shoe that's ready to make its comeback.
Dirty suede sneakers
Suede brush + magic eraser
There's no denying that suede can be a real PITA. But it's no match for Esquillo's clever cleaning tricks.
If you spill food on a pair of suede sneaks, like these Saucony Jazz Originals, try not to panic and start frantically scrubbing at them. "You’re actually pushing the dirt into the suede" says Esquillo.
Instead, gently wipe the excess junk off the shoe, and let it dry (that is, if it's a wet stain like food or mud). Then, grab your secret weapon: a suede brush. Slide this special tool over the affected area, to help get rid of any remaining dirt and particles.
Once you've taken care of this step, you can start to clean the shoe more thoroughly. Again, start with your undersole. For this step, use a medium-firm brush dipped in your shoe cleaning solution and water mixture. Scrub the sole of the shoe until it's clean, followed by the midsole, where you switch to a foam cleaner (Esquillo recommends Foam Tex Gentle Foaming Cleaner by Angelu).
Next comes the slightly more challenging part: the suede upper. "You’ll take the soft brush, and avoid using too much of the foam cleanser, because you don’t want it to get too damp and ruin the suede," says Esquillo. "Just enough that it’s moist but not too damp, and then start scrubbing normally."
Scrub lightly—in one direction, scrubbing back and forth will mess up the material—until you start to see the stain get lighter. Since you don't want to get the shoe too wet, let it dry before attempting another round of cleaning. You can use that handy microfiber towel here to help soak up the moisture—just be sure to lightly dab and twist, don't rub.
While the shoe should look significantly better after the first wash (a.k.a. not a spaghetti murder scene), it can take anywhere from three to four rounds of washing and drying before your sneaker will look close to its original glory.
You may also notice the material feels stiff after it dries. In that case, break out your second secret weapon: a brass brush. This type of brush can help revive the suede after so much cleaning.
And if you're just dealing with everyday dirt stains, Esquillo says all you need is a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. When the shoe is dry, "You just rub it wherever the dirty area is."
Filthy mesh shoes
Those light mesh sneakers are cute AF and breath super well, but the second you hit a puddle of mud on your run—that upper gets wrecked. Seriously, it's like the mud sinks into every freaking crevice. (Can you tell I've been there before?)
When it comes to mesh sneakers, Esquillo recommends you start by (yes, you guessed it) removing those laces and giving them a nice bath.
While they're soaking, start cleaning the undersole with your shoe cleaner solution and water mix—but here's where things get a little different. A pair like these Adidas Ultraboosts feature an undersole and midsole made of a soft rubber. To clean them, "gently use a medium or soft brush—so you don’t damage the material."
Then, it's time to clean that cringe-worthy stain on the mesh upper. "Mesh uppers are tough," says Esquillo."It definitely takes multiple cleaning sessions. One tip that we recommended is grabbing a microfiber towel and wrapping it around two fingers. Scratch at the mesh with your fingers, and the microfibers should be able to help pick up the dirt."
Like the white sneakers, you'll use the shoe cleaner to wash the uppers, too. Dip the brush in your solution, and move it in a circular motion over the stain. Scrub and wipe until it starts to return to its original color. Again...this could take a few attempts, so be patient.
Once you feel good about the clean, let those bad boys dry, and lace them back up. | <urn:uuid:17de3db4-627d-4d64-be0a-4d897f40da99> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.womenshealthmag.com/fitness/a25588267/how-to-clean-sneakers/ | 2021-12-06T01:54:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363229.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20211206012231-20211206042231-00313.warc.gz | en | 0.934689 | 1,476 | [

FREE Ignite Your Voice Mini-Course
This mini-course will help you recognize how YOUR inner critic has hijacked your self-identity, give you a jump start to put your negative inner critic in its place, discover your inner voice and begin the journey towards a healthy self-identity!
Video 1: SORT OUT THE INNER CRITIC
Welcome to Video 1 of the Ignite Your Voice Mini-course.
Today we will be working on sorting out the inner critic.
But there are two things you must know before we start.
First, our brain is wired to save us from pain and harm. It naturally wants the path of least resistance AND it wants us to be SAFE.
Second, we all have an inner critic and it will never be silenced.
If you are like me you have been told "oh you just have to get rid of those thoughts or you have to ignore them".
They cannot be ignored and you cannot get rid of them.
The inner critic is here to guide you. Yes, maybe miss guide you possibly but the inner critic wants to save you from pain. So, what we’re going to do is invite our inner critic to the table for a heart to heart conversation today.
In Video 1 of your mini-journal you will jump start the conversation by writing a thought that usually wakes up the inner critic.
If it’s anything like my inner critic - your inner critic starts with a thought or an idea that believes they must save you from.
It could be as simple as I want to learn to paint or as complex as I want to go back to school or start a business.
Then you inner critic says, "Oh, you can't and here is why. Or you shouldn't and here is why". Your inner critic may even shame you or bully you.
To illustrate, here’s a real life example of my own personal inner critic and the type of dialogue that we have; and yes ladies we all have inner critics.
So before I created this mini-course for women, it started as a thought of how can I help more women in the world. | <urn:uuid:43dda3ee-5e4c-411d-9701-9033f4f5a02b> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.christiratcliff.com/copy-of-ignite-welcome | 2021-12-07T14:59:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363400.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20211207140255-20211207170255-00633.warc.gz | en | 0.95859 | 445 | [

West Midlands Palestine Solidarity Campaign welcomes the decision made by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council not to consider further Veolia”s bid for the ‘Waste Improvement Plan’ contract, a contract worth £1 billion over 20 years.
French multinational company Veolia is complicit in the continued Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory. Veolia is a leading partner in the CityPass consortium, contracted to build a light rail tramway system linking west Jerusalem to illegal Jewish settlements in occupied east Jerusalem. With its involvement in this project, the company is directly implicated in the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory and is playing a key role in Israel”s attempt to make its annexation of the territory of east Jerusalem irreversible. This construction project violates Article 49 of the 4th Geneva Convention.
Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and the annexation of East Jerusalem are illegal under international law. The settlements violate Article 49 of the 4th Geneva Convention, which provides that: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies” as well as Article 53, which forbids destruction of property.
The decision made by Sandwell Council is a victory for organisations and individuals who are campaigning for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions of Israel”s illegal activities directed at the Palestinian people. Our campaign, and Sandwell Council”s decision, show that companies need to be aware that in order to have community support they must behave ethically. Sandwell Council has set a positive example which other councils should follow.
West Midlands PSC looks forward to working alongside local communities, trade unionists and sympathetic Councillors in the fight for justice for Palestinians. | <urn:uuid:6175ab8f-d6e1-487f-bcaf-83055edcdf0b> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://usacbi.org/2009/03/west-midlands-palestine-solidarity-campaign-bins-veolia/ | 2021-12-09T07:43:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363689.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20211209061259-20211209091259-00313.warc.gz | en | 0.943099 | 344 | [

A Lake Mary man's hard work means some Central Floridians get to eat.
- Demitrius Bradley delivers food to the hungry
- He also brings water, blankets and pillows
- Some of the items are donated, others are out of pocket
We learned about Demitrius Bradley from a viewer email.
So we met up with him early on a Tuesday at an Orlando bread distribution center to find out just what he's doing for his community.
"Something told me - you're here for a reason," Bradley said.
That "reason" is to bring food, water, blankets and pillows to folks who eagerly await for his pickup truck to arrive.
"There's apartment complexes that I go to," he said. "There's houses that I pull up to. Everybody on the block comes out of the house and gets this. This isn't just about the homeless. It's just about our people. People drive by and see me giving away stuff and they're like, 'Is that free?' It's all free."
Some of the items, like the bread, are donated by Pepperidge Farms. He used to work there and built a strong relationship.
But the pasta is out of his pocket.
"Oh yea, they say I have the best spaghetti," he said, opening up the lid to show off a piping-hot pot of pasta. "Homemade every morning."
We got in our news truck and followed Bradley to a couple of stops off Orange Blossom Trail and John Young Parkway. About a dozen people in each location were there waiting, including Andre McGhee.
"He comes up here every Tuesday and gives away bread, food and water to anybody that's in need," McGhee said, taking a few items from the truck. "He's doing it consistently, and he has made a big difference."
"Ya know, when they see me, they're like - I get to eat today," Bradley said.
Bradley admits, though, that he's not rolling in dough.
"I don't have much," he said. "I'm struggling to make a car payment and pay rent just like everybody else. But you know, at the same time, I choose to give time."
"He's doing a great service and I actually bought him lunch," McGhee said. "I had to give back to what he's given to so many of us. So, ya know, a little bit that I can help him with, too." | <urn:uuid:98aea9bb-fac7-4ae4-8624-c23b3bd11db3> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.mynews13.com/fl/orlando/news/2018/3/5/everyday_heroes_loca | 2021-11-28T07:56:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964358480.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20211128073830-20211128103830-00353.warc.gz | en | 0.988301 | 515 | [

Together, Dr. See and our caring team work together to deliver the best dental care possible. We have a small, personal practice where our patient – you – comes first. We provide patients with the honest, efficient, quality and gentle dental care we want for ourselves and our loved ones.
1993 I graduated from Channel Islands High School in Oxnard; California then completed the regional occupational program in Dental assisting in Camarillo. I then moved on to the field of orthodontics, where I acquired my Registered Dental Assistance license. I enjoyed 7 exciting years in this field where I furthered my knowledge & experience. I next furthered my knowledge in the field of periodontics & intravenous sedation for 8 years. Wanting to further my experience further I then proceeded to the field of dental implant surgery for 8 exciting years, which I have enjoyed to this very day.
When I am not working in the field of Dentistry, I enjoy the spring & summer months which enable me to enjoy the outdoors. I love traveling, camping, gardening, culinary arts & enjoy wine testing with our local vineyards.
Welcome to the office. I have been working for Dr. See since 2009. I have over 20 years experience in the Dental Field. My goal is to always make you feel welcome and comfortable when you visit our office.
I enjoy working with our patients. This includes scheduling, reviewing treatment plans, and processing claims. I will strive to maximize your insurance benefits and mutually resolve all payment issues. Glad to be part of our team!
I am a native of Ventura County. I met my husband, Larry, on the Port Hueneme Navy base and we have been married for 38 years. We have two children, Nicole and Nick, and 3 beautiful grandchildren, Zach, Brooklynn, and Cole. I enjoy traveling to see my children and watching the dodgers, “Go Dodgers!”
On the weekends, I love to go shopping or see a good movie.

When we first met Acquire, their management team was struggling to understand their financial results. Their accounts weren’t trustworthy – results swung significantly from month to month and they couldn’t understand why. They also didn’t have anyone at the management table who could look at a business idea, ask, ‘does this make sense financially?’ and work out whether it was a go from a feasibility standpoint. A set of challenges right up the Balanced alley, we jumped straight in.
“The Balanced team has been fantastic! We have had a solid relationship for three years now and they are an invaluable part of our external resource. Our bookkeeping, reporting and end of month processes have been totally streamlined. Their financial expertise and ability to see the big picture has helped shape our direction. We regularly use them to bounce off ideas and refine our decisions.”
Early on we created efficient and thorough financial processes that allow the Acquire team to understand and trust their results and make informed decisions, fast. We implemented monthly rolling forecasts – projected revenue, costs and cash flow – showing us what future results would be and where we needed to focus our efforts to improve them.
Our partnership with Acquire now replicates the in-house finance team that larger businesses have – bookkeeper, accountant and commercial manager – where you get the depth of skills, expertise and accountability that you’d expect from full-time employees, without the overheads, staff management and time investment.
The Acquire team now has accurate, up-to-date results and solid forecasts to base decisions off, a proactive commercial lead that brings commercial rigour to the table, and complete peace of mind that their finance function is humming. | <urn:uuid:aef29f4d-6c52-4b92-bc8a-cc3459444d23> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://balanced.net/acquire/ | 2021-12-03T04:25:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964362589.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20211203030522-20211203060522-00033.warc.gz | en | 0.96199 | 361 | [

While the divorce rate dropped 18% between 2008 and 2016 and is currently around 32%, divorced individuals meeting new partners continue to come together with their children and attempt to “blend” families. Though best intention may be at the heart of the desire to bring two families together, successful outcomes seem few and far between (with more anecdotal than hard research data available). As a therapist who does work in the area of grief and bereavement and has a blended family, I feel the complications in trying to unite two families are mostly tied to themes of loss.
The potential pitfalls that blended families will have to navigate are complex. Here are the top 10:
- Conflict over differing boundaries – what is and isn’t okay in each family.
- Confusion and anger about differing rules and consequences.
- Loss related to the definitive ending of a child’s original family constellation is triggered (children usually hold out hope that biological parents may unite).
- For children to embrace a stepparent may feel like a violation of loyalty to the child’s biological parent.
- For children whose parents have been divorced for some time, the introduction of a new spouse may feel like another loss and bring up fear that they will be loved less (children tend to think of love as finite). Anxiety and depression may manifest.
- Sharing of one’s home, personal belongings, community space, bedroom may trigger anger and further feelings of loss for children.
- Children may feel pulled in many ways in terms of their role as they go back and forth between biological parents and try to navigate different households.
- Parents may struggle to form attachments with their step children and stepchildren may struggle to form attachments with their stepparents.
- Relationships with ex-wives and ex-husband’s take on another degree of complexity for adults that affect the children.
- Financial equity of all children may be especially difficult when ex- spouses are involved.
My goal in highlighting these difficulties is not to deter people from attempting to blend families. The blending of families can benefit children in many positive ways and provide stability and a healthy environment that was previously missing from their lives. However, what most families fail to do is enter counseling prior to blending in an effort to anticipate and resolve many of the issues above, which may be further complicated by children’s ages, ethnicity, and cultural and religious factors. Instead, couples forge ahead hoping that love and patience will be enough.
Hopefully, this blog will help adults have a deeper understanding of the potential issues that may arise. If you’re contemplating blending your family, I encourage you to work with a mental health professional who has experience in this area and who can help guide you and your loved ones in a way that will support the best possible outcome for everybody. Anticipating issues, talking them through, and figuring how to handle them before they arise is key.

The Presiding Bishop of the US-based Episcopal Church, Michael Curry, and Archbishop Fred Hiltz of the Anglican Church of Canada, have joined with their Lutheran colleagues to offer a series of Lenten reflections. Together with Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and National Bishop Susan Johnson from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, they have prepared reflections for Ash Wednesday, the five weeks in Lent, Palm Sunday and the Triduum.
Each reflection in the series Set free by truth begins with a series of four Bible readings from the Old and New Testaments, a Psalm and a Gospel – with three-sets for the Triduum. These are followed by a reflection by one of the bishops and a prayer. In the first of the reflections, for Ash Wednesday (14 February), Bishop Elizabeth Eaton writes about the need for racial equity in churches, saying: “We have been claimed in baptism, buried with Christ in a death like his, to be raised with Christ in a resurrection like his. We have already died the only death that really matters, and yet… We do not recognize the full humanity of others.”
The theme is continued by Archbishop Fred Hiltz who writes that “Lent is a time for us to be especially mindful of any and every arrogance reflecting the thought that some peoples are superior to others. I speak of the sins of racism, ethnic cleansing, and government-enforced policies of assimilation designed ‘to remake others in our image’.
“Lent is a season to confess these sins against our brothers and sisters. It is a time to correct attitudes, words, and actions, blatant or subtle that perpetuate them. It is a time to forge new relationships grounded in our baptismal vow to strive for justice and peace among all people.”
Later in Lent, Presiding Bishop Michael Curry writes about “things that don’t make sense”. Speaking about the symbol of the cross, he said: “In those earliest years of the Jesus Movement, [Jesus’] followers didn’t wear crosses around their necks or hang them in the homes in which they worshipped. They had other symbols, certainly, but not crosses.
“Crucifixion was not a historical curiosity, but a still present reality, and an agonising and shameful one at that. To be crucified was to be executed as a common criminal. Worse, according to the Hebrew Scriptures, cursed was one who hung on a tree, on the wood of a cross.
“So to speak of ‘Christ crucified’ didn’t make sense to many. It was a stumbling block, something foolish or offensive. But Paul said otherwise. Yes, Jesus could have avoided the cross, found some other way around it. But instead he faced the worst the world could throw at him, and then broke through death itself, and leave an empty cross behind as witness to his astonishing victory.
“Some things don’t make much sense. The cross is one of them. But it stands now and forever as our rallying cry that God – not injustice, not suffering, not even death – has the final, victorious word.”

American novelist Andrew Sean Greer recently talked to SF weekly and possibly revealed what could be Madonna’s next big movie project.
According to the author, Madonna is interested in bringing his latest book “The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells” to the big screen.
Set in 1985, 1918, and 1941, “The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells” is a very innovative novel that presents us with the impact a different set of circumstances might have on the development of a person.
The book opens in New York in 1985. Severely depressed after losing her gay twin brother to AIDS and abandoned by her partner, Greta Wells pursues every treatment she can think of to raise her spirits. She undergoes shock treatment and is transported to bygone eras and the lives she would have lived there. Only, everyone in her life comes with her.
Greer, who closed his latest reading with a cover song of Madonna’s “Material Girl”, explained that he recently received a phone call from the Queen of Pop herself who hopes to produce and possibly direct the film.
After her latest directorial effort W.E., Madonna might explore the theme of time travelling once again, if she decides to bring this achingly lovely novel, which examines the power of nostalgia, longing and hope, to the big screen.
Before the reading, Evan Karp from Litseen met up with Andrew and his husband David Ross…
Evan Karp: So talk to me about the movie. For this book.
Andrew Sean Greer: What can I say? I got a phone call last week… I think it’s fine. No one’s asked me about this… from a celebrity who read the book and loved it so much she called me up personally to talk to me about it. I thought it was going to be one of her assistants who was like, loved your book, she’s interested. Right. She didn’t read it. But oh no no no. She called me. She read it. She totally got it. There were a couple other people interested and they sort of all made a deal together, and she’s optioned the rights to it. We’ll see what happens. But it’s fun because it was Madonna.
Evan Karp: I’m sorry you got a phone call from Madonna? That’s incredible.
Andrew Sean Greer: Yeah. Isn’t that nuts?
David Ros: Can you imagine his 15-year-old little self? If he could go back in time, actually, and be like It’s all going to be OK, Andy. (laughter) Little Andy. Little gay Andy.
(We all laughed pretty hard right here.)
Andrew Sean Greer: Like, let me quote your novel back to you. Which has like five fantasies involved: I’m going to write a novel. Madonna will have read the novel and call me and quote it back to me and want to make a movie.
David Ros: The fact that Madonna knows his name is enough for me.
Evan Karp: Yeah. You should be going to every bar in the neighborhood — you probably, this is what you did all week — like, Madonna…
Their laughter told me they’d been in more than a couple bars this week, doing exactly that. How could they not, right? Madonna and a few others have purchased the rights to The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells (there, that’s the sentence). Let’s hope it happens! In the meanwhile, go get the book. You can start changing the culture right now.

Another Clive Barker story that was either badly adapted or bad to begin with. And another story about writers’ creations coming to life. This is all writers think about.
At first it seemed like it was headed exactly in the direction of “dreams in the witch-house” but it took a far more boring turn. The episode seems like the creation of a repressed network-TV writer… it exists just so dude can yell “shit” and “fuck” and we can show a naked girl on TV.
Star actor Christopher Lloyd has little to do. Barker vet actor Tony Todd (candyman!) plays the beast. Whole thing is just terrible. Oh, our main guy turns into book pages and blows away at the end… he was a fictional creation, just part of the story all along!!!
Season 2 overall kinda sucked. Maybe my expectations were just high because s1 was half good, but it seemed like this one’s hit-to-miss was much lower.
I am not making this screen shot up: | <urn:uuid:4c27e3ff-429b-4d05-855f-1bf029f794bd> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | http://deeperintomovies.net/journal/archives/499 | 2021-12-06T09:02:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363290.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20211206072825-20211206102825-00033.warc.gz | en | 0.976499 | 219 | [

A new guideline from the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care says adults ages 55 to 74 at high risk of lung cancer should be screened annually using low-dose CT.
Lung cancer is the most common cancer in Canada and the number one cause of deaths from cancer. In 2015, about 26,600 Canadians were diagnosed with lung cancer, and almost 21,000 died from it. Most cases of lung cancer, about 85%, are linked to tobacco smoking.
“Screening for lung cancer aims to detect disease at an earlier stage, when it may respond better to treatment and be less likely to cause serious illness or death,” states Dr Gabriela Lewin, chair of the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care guideline working group.
This guideline incorporates new evidence, including results from a large randomized controlled trial comparing low-dose CT with chest x-rays, and balances the benefits of early detection with the harms of overdiagnosis and invasive follow-up testing. It replaces the 2003 guideline from the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care.
- Adults aged 55-74 years who are at high risk of lung cancer (i.e., current or former smokers [have quit within 15 years] with at least a 30 pack-year history or more) should be screened annually up to three consecutive times using low-dose CT.
- Screening must be conducted in a health care setting with expertise in diagnosing and treating lung cancer.
- For all other adults, the task force recommends not screening for lung cancer, regardless of age or smoking history.
- The task force recommends not using chest X-rays to screen for lung cancer. | <urn:uuid:05ac01fe-8977-4dab-bcda-88be743ec7ea> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://rtmagazine.com/public-health/smoking/tobacco/lung-cancer-screening-new-canadian-guideline/ | 2021-12-06T08:25:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964363290.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20211206072825-20211206102825-00033.warc.gz | en | 0.943054 | 344 | [

BTS confidently posed in epic photos while visiting the world famous Empire State Building in New York City on May 21 in preparation for their iHeartRadio concert happening later that night.
BTS is on top of the world both literally and metaphorically it seems! All seven of the K-pop group members took the time to visit New York’s famous Empire State Building on May 21, and they posed for some incredible photos during the memorable moment. The talented artists V, J Hope, Jungkook, RM, Jin, Jimin, and Suga, stood in the observation tower, in between two of the building’s staircases and in front of a giant photo of the outside of the building, for their photos and they turned out truly amazing.
In one pic, the smiling studs can be seen posing in various ways, such as crossing arms and putting hands on hips, and in another, they’re all pointing at the giant photo of the building behind them. The guys visited the famous skyscraper in preparation for their special iHeartRadio concert, set to take place on the same night of their visit. iHeartRadio teamed up with the Empire State Building to also celebrate BTS’ success by illuminating the building in purple at the same exact time the concert is going on at the iHeartRadio Theater, so it’s definitely a special day for the guys!
Soon after their visit, fans took to social media to express their pride and excitement about the visit. “They look so happy!” one fan tweeted about the pics. “they’re making the empire state building lit up in purple tonight just for bts,, i’m telling you the world literally revolves around them,” another wrote. “Lighting up the Empire state building in purple for BTS and Army No one else is doing it like my boys,” a third tweet read.
BTS’ Empire State Building appearance comes after they performed two sold out shows at the MetLife Stadium in nearby East Rutherford, NJ. The shows were part of the American leg of their Love Yourself: Speak Yourself stadium tour, which kicked off at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, CA on May 4.
BTS fans can listen to the May 21 iHeartRadio concert in a live broadcast on iHeartMedia’s CHR radio stations and can see it in a livestream at LiveXLive.com at 7 p.m. EST.

SALT LAKE CITY — Two men were taken into custody after a stabbing sent one man to the hospital early Saturday morning.
At approximately 2:25 a.m., a Salt Lake City police officer was driving in the area of 300 West and 200 South when he saw two men beating up another man, said Lt. Mike Ross with Salt Lake City police.
During the course of the fight, Ross said, the victim was stabbed in the leg and hip and had $50 stolen from him.
The officer interrupted the fight and took one man into custody. The second suspect fled the scene but was soon located. Both men were booked into Salt Lake County Jail.
One of the men was booked on aggravated assault and aggravated robbery. The other suspect was booked on fleeing police.
The victim was taken to an area hospital in serious condition but is expected to survive. | <urn:uuid:97d47427-70dc-4281-828e-0c6bf119e989> | CC-MAIN-2021-49 | https://www.fox13now.com/2014/10/18/overnight-slc-stabbing-leaves-1-injured-sends-2-men-to-jail-police-say | 2021-12-09T12:56:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-49/segments/1637964364169.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20211209122503-20211209152503-00033.warc.gz | en | 0.991396 | 176 | [

In the Kaluga region, they decided to improve the village of Bryn in order to increase its tourist attractiveness. The improvement project was presented in Duminichi.
In accordance with the project, they plan to open a hotel in the village, which will consist of individual cottages and townhouses, to improve the Prishvina park and Stary Torg square. In addition, a network of pedestrian paths will be built there, recreation areas near boulders, a cafe with a summer terrace, a souvenir shop, an apple orchard and a fairground will be equipped.
As the newspaper “Vest” writes, the general concept of improvement is the inclusion of boulders, also called “sheep’s foreheads”, into the landscape of the park. Around the boulders, it is planned to equip recreation areas with the use of gravel, as well as to organize a “natural” playground.
It is also planned to develop tourist routes “Legends and the story of the Bryn forest” They will pass through the nearest villages with excursions based on epics and fairy tales about the life of Old Believers and the events of the war years.
These routes will be designed for cyclists, walkers and horse riders. One can be up to 24 km long. Along the route, every 500 m, places for rest and rest are organized, including with access to the lake. | <urn:uuid:89d112ac-6a53-4067-8f44-349dab28f903> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://balthazarkorab.com/the-village-of-bryn-in-the-kaluga-region-will-be-turned-into-a-tourist-destination/ | 2024-02-22T09:00:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00393.warc.gz | en | 0.968704 | 299 | [

One of the improvements coming in 2023 with the iPhone 15 could be better battery life, with Apple’s chip maker of choice TSMC (the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) promising increased efficiency with its next generation of silicon.
As per Bloomberg (opens in new tab), TSMC has announced the move to chips made using a 3 nanometer manufacturing process, which is a jump from the 5 nanometer process currently used. Essentially, the smaller the number, the more tightly packed the elements of the processor are going to be.
Crucially, TSMC says that their new chips are going to use around 35% less power, as well as being faster in terms of performance. That should relate to better battery life for devices made by TSMC’s partners – including the successor to the iPhone 14 made by Apple.
Chips with everything
There are some caveats here: Apple designs the Bionic processors found inside the iPhone, so it may choose to engineer the improvements that 3 nm offers in a different way rather than maximizing power efficiency.
However, the signs look good that the A17 Bionic chip – widely expected to make its debut in the next round of iPhones – will offer better performance without as much power draw. There’s plenty of time for TSMC to perfect its manufacturing process before it starts work churning out iPhone 15 handsets.
If Apple follows this year’s plan though, only the Pro models of the 2023 iPhone will get the new silicon. The standard iPhone 15 and the follow-up to the iPhone 14 Plus, if there is one, will most likely get the A16 chipset instead.
Analysis: the rumors are ramping up
The iPhone 15 rumors – like the one above – have already started rolling in, and they’ll only increase in number as we go through 2023. No other handset attracts the same kind of attention and anticipation as the Apple flagship, even when we don’t get huge year-on-year upgrades.
One upgrade that might be coming with the iPhone 15 range is a “state-of-the-art” camera sensor that’s better at capturing pictures and video in challenging conditions. Considering the cameras on the iPhone are already very good, that sounds promising.
There’s also been talk of certain iPhone 15 models coming with solid-state power and volume buttons. That’s a rumor that’s been floating around for years, but it sounds as though 2023 could be the year when it actually happens.
What isn’t yet clear is how many iPhone 15 devices we’ll get, or what they’ll be called. The emphasis in terms of improvements is once again expected to be on the Pro models, and there has been speculation that Apple is working on a new super-powerful, super-expensive iPhone 15 Ultra handset. | <urn:uuid:aa186f36-13f0-4129-867c-303f283b7fae> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://technoversepro.com/it-hardware/iphone-15-tipped-for-better-battery-life-thanks-to-new-apple-a17-chip/ | 2024-02-22T08:40:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473735.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222061937-20240222091937-00393.warc.gz | en | 0.947248 | 591 | [

Tonight is like a trip down memory lane. It’s ten years ago, and there I am standing in my over sized jeans, with pockets big enough to not need a bag (and so big you need a chain to be able to find your wallet in the Tardis sized denim!) Nu metal is at the forefront of music, even the charts, and everyone has their fists in the air ‘Rollin’. Fast forward a decade and tonight’s line up is like a triple headliner for anyone who was part of the scene the first time round, each band having an equal hour set.
Alien Ant Farm kick of proceedings with ‘Wish’ to a full room. The fun doesn’t really start until they play the smash hit of a song ‘Movies’ which see’s lead singer Dryden Mitchell jump over the barrier and head into the crowd. The band keep the interaction coming, getting everyone in the room to clap along to ‘Let ‘Em Know’. As ‘These Days’ get’s introduced everyone remembers the video by the sound of the screams, but not so much the song, as half-hearted attempts at trying to remember the chorus resonate around a sizeable chunk of tonight’s attendees. ‘Attitude’ see’s a pretty great reaction through the crowd, but although they have pockets of fans scattered around the room, Alien Ant Farm fit into the same category they did ten years ago – the almost one hit wonders who also did that cover of ‘Smooth Criminal’ (which they finished the set on) Not necessarily a bad thing, at least they were remembered!
Next up are P.O.D who open with ‘Murdered Love’ then burst into ‘Boom’ with Sonny Sandoval leaning into the front rows to a rowdy crowd. Stand out songs ‘Will You’ and ‘Set It Off’ get the room jumping, while the massive ‘Youth Of The Nation’ has everyone singing the hook ‘We are, we are, the youth of the nation’ at the top of their lungs. The set is peppered with new songs, most noticeably ‘Revolucion’ which is a catchy punky / reggae fusion. They end the set on breakthrough song ‘Alive’, which receives the biggest reaction so far tonight, with Sandoval once again joining the fans on the barrier for the mass sing-along.
Last but certainly not least are tonight’s official headliners Hoobastank, who start the set with ‘Crawling In The Dark’ to a room full of fired up fans. They play a set full of older and newer material, the former definitely getting the bigger reactions. ‘First Of Me’ slows the pace down midset, but it’s soon bought back up to speed with ‘Pieces’. The second half of the set is packed with fan favourites such as ‘Same Direction’ and ‘Remember Me’, which shows off the pipes of lead vocalist Douglas Robb, as he holds notes longer than most can dream of! The penultimate song is arguably why a lot of the audience is here tonight. ‘The Reason’ receives a warm welcome from the fans who have been waiting years to hear it live, they show their appreciation with a long round of applause and chant of ‘Hoobastank. Hoobastank’ A minute later they are stopped abruptly when Robb says ‘Shut the fuck up!…I love it but it’s a little embarrassing!’ with only warmth in his tone for the hordes of fans before him. They finish the set on one of their heavier songs ‘Out Of Control’.
The audience leave feeling adequately nourished in all their nostalgic needs. I imagine a lot of old CDs will be dusted off are played in the coming days to relive not only the night, but also everyone’s youth.

Let’s face it, the biggest workhorse in the house (alongside the kitchen) is the bathroom. We spend a lot of time in there, getting ready for work, school and bed; showering, grooming, and (ahem) contemplating life whilst in the shower cabin.
Bathrooms and kitchens are also the most complex rooms to renovate, and can sometimes require the skills of tradespeople to get the renovation done properly. On the plus side, the bathroom is also one of two rooms upon which the average return is at least 62%, and for which a number of homeowners see a full 100% return on their investment.
Updating your bathroom can increase the value of your home far higher than any other renovation you’re contemplating. Think about it – when someone is looking to buy a house, which rooms do they investigate first?
These are the ones that make the most difference in your ability to get the house sold for the price you want. It’s also likely that they’re the same rooms in the house where you’ll most appreciate updating as long as you call it home. One really nice point (and important to remember) is that you don’t have to do a full gut to make a big impact in your bathroom.
Take note of the most important features of the room; replacing certain outdated fixtures, countertops, shower cabins and a fresh coat of paint while keeping plumbing lines intact will go far and will save money.
Even an updated light fixture makes a big change, especially if the former light gave the room a dull glow or was minimal. A bright bathroom with enough light to see by is inviting and freshens up the place. Unless you’re planning on staying in the house for good, update with an eye for neutrals or something that will fit the likes and dislikes of the public at large.
A purple countertop might be just what the doctor ordered to fit your personal style, but other people might not be so keen on your bravery. You’ll want to keep the personal notes to smaller details; artwork, linens and such, so that your style isn’t off putting to potential buyers.
Styles and trends will change, but a good designer can help you choose colours and lines that will stand the test of time. Two little words to keep in mind before you touch a single thing in that bathroom; plan ahead! Barging on like a bull in a china shop without a plan will lead to expenses that you may not be able to recoup later on down the line. A good plan, along with good tradespeople is a recipe for success.
Other tips for your bathroom renovation:
- Don’t attempt to do renovations unless you’re a certified tradesperson. If you can tackle painting or laying floor, that’s one thing, but plumbing and electrical is entirely another.
- Salvage what you can. If your toilet is in good working order, and will fit in well with the new renovation, keep it! Not everything has to be new and you’ll save money if there are a few existing pieces you can work with.
- Keep the same layout for pipes and electrical whenever possible. Keeping the bathroom’s footprint can save thousands in specialized renovation costs. New fixtures will make a huge affect without altering their location.
- Shop around. Just because you’ve found a fixture or accessory at one store at a certain price doesn’t mean you won’t find it cheaper somewhere else. Take notice of upcoming sales and auctions.
- If you’re using tile, get creative with a more standard tile for most of the bathroom, and accent them with more expensive specialty tile. You’ll get the richer look without the price tag.
- Keep plumbing fixtures and accessories from dating too quickly by buying what stands the test of time, not what’s trendy right now. Trends can change quickly – even seasonally, and it’s easier to keep in touch with what’s hot when it comes to towels or soaps in the colour of the moment than to replace an entire countertop or shower.
- Homeowners and buyers love touches of luxury in their bathrooms; a spa-like shower averages an 85% return on investment when it comes time to sell.
- Instead of replacing floor tiles, see what a good commercial cleaner and new grout does to the space. You’ll get the same impact of a new floor with a lot less cost, time and hassle, so you can direct your hard earned money towards other highlights; a soaker tub or a granite counter.
Tour other newly renovated bathrooms, take note of what you love most, and gather input when it comes to pros and cons of homeowners experiences. Renovating your bathroom can be the most satisfying and financially savvy improvement you’ll make. | <urn:uuid:24449204-ed68-4351-9618-789b42c2bfdb> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://lerablog.org/home-and-family/interior-decorating-and-repair/why-bathroom-renovation-can-be-an-investment/ | 2024-02-25T02:58:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474573.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20240225003942-20240225033942-00393.warc.gz | en | 0.937983 | 1,013 | [

Sunny Deol and Esha Deol relationship
Sunny Deol and Esha Deol relationship – Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, Esha Deol’s stepbrothers, and she have a close relationship. She is adamant about keeping her relationship intact and out of the public eye, regardless of what the rest of the world thinks. The children of Dharmendra (Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, and Esha Deol) were pressed for some juicy information, but they kept their mouths shut and never really discussed it. Esha did, however, clarify the nature of her connection with her stepbrothers.
Every year, Esha Deol said, she ties rakhis to her stepbrothers.
Beyond the Dreamgirl, Hema Malini’s book, mentions that Esha binds rakhi to Sunny and Bobby every year. She does not, however, want the world to be aware of it. Esha reportedly stated that she views her half-brother Sunny Deol as a “father figure,” according to a report by Jansatta. The actress, who doesn’t mince words, acknowledged that she is aware of how the public perceives their relationship.
The Deol family doesn’t think it’s appropriate to flaunt their connection, Esha continued. She described Sunny bhaiy as creative and decent. Esha, though, thinks Bobby Deol is a little reticent. The following is an excerpt from Hema Malini’s biography which can be read as:
“I don’t need to tell the world about the relationship between myself and my half-brothers. I know the world talks about our relationships in different ways. But the Deol family members do not want to show off their relationships. Sunny Bhaiya is very innovative and a very good person at heart too. I treat him like a father. Bobby bhaiyya’s behavior is also very good, but he is a bit reserved.”Hema Malini
In 2012, when Sunny Deol failed to attend the wedding of his stepsister Esha Deol
Esha Deol has always had kind things to say about Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, and her stepbrother. Everyone believed that her half-brothers would attend her wedding in 2012 and dispel media perceptions of family tensions by showing up. Despite being the only brothers, Sunny and Bobby chose to skip the festivities. The ceremonies for Esha’s wedding, however, were carried out by their cousin brother, Abhay Deol.
According to rumors, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol chose not to attend the wedding so as not to offend their mother Prakash Kaur. But the Deol brothers made sure to bring Esha, their half-sister, gifts as a mark of their affection.
Despite being invited, Esha Deol declined to go to the wedding of Sunny Deol’s son, Karan Deol.
Everyone anticipated that at the wedding of Sunny Deol’s son, Karan Deol, they would finally appear together in a photograph. Esha was invited to the wedding festivities for Sunny’s son Karan, but it never materialized. Hema Malini didn’t receive the invitation, thus the actress made the decision not to go. According to a source in BollywoodLife, Esha also skipped the pre-wedding celebrations for Karan and Drisha.
Esha, however, expressed her wish for Karan Deol, her nephew. She posted an IG story in which she wished the newlyweds luck in their future. Her note might be understood as:
“Congratulations Karan and Drisha. Wishing you both a lifetime of togetherness and happiness.”Esha Deol

Multitable tournaments generally mirror precisely the kind of tournaments with which you may be familiar in the real-world brick-and-mortar type casino, and poker rooms and card rooms that feature and offer them. 바카라추천홈페이지 In a little while, it loses its thrall! 토토보증공식싸이트 How big would they have to be to be betting big in those days [the early 1960s]?
Similarly, if you find somebody with a screen name such as “easy Fred”, there’s probably nothing easy about this player at all. 슈퍼벳 ‒ The dealer then deals you one card to go with your ‘8-2′. Assume you get a ’10’, giving you a total of ’20’. 라이트닝 바카라 룰 So I walked back to this guy, and the guy’s sitting there, he’s got like most of his drink down, and then we order him another one. I said, “Okay.” I go over to the phone, “I’m gonna call the police, but first I’m gonna tell you something about this kid.” I said, “Now, I know you guys are talking back and forth, I know you’re both talking trash, it wasn’t just a one-way conversation, but I’ll call and have him arrested. Here’s what’s gonna happen, he’s never gonna work in this business again—he’s definitely not gonna work for me anymore, regardless. He’s got a wife and two small children. He’s always been good help. Are you sure you want me to pick this phone up and call the police to get ‘em down here?”
Therefore, although you are a very significant favorite in the hand when you begin with pocket Aces, if the situation was left purely to the statistics and no other considerations brought to bear, you would find yourself winning one third of the time with them, and losing the other two thirds. This would not make the hand profitable. 카지노공식업체싸이트 In casinos, you do not bluff the dealer. Whether your cards are face up or face down, as I mentioned earlier, the dealer does not make any decisions; they do not get bluffed by the player with ’14’. All the dealer’s playing decisions are pre-determined. They must make the same decisions, no matter what they think or know you have. 스피드검증공식홈패이지 When you’re in a true resort setting, or higher end setting, the advantages of it is that you play games for a living. It’s an exciting time. All the things they market, everything about Vegas—you’re in it. And there are some things you might, it’s like working at Disneyland. Yeah, you might see behind the scenes, and some of the magic might be gone, but you’re still at Disneyland, you know, and it’s the same thing here.
Hands such as King-Queen suited, Queen-Jack suited, and Jack-10 suited are not only favorite hands played by many players, but any of them has the potential of winning even when unimproved either to their straight potential, or flush-potential for their suit. 에볼루션카지노 유니벳 If you have ‘8-8’: ALWAYS SPLIT. 토토홈페이지보증 Well, when I broke in, you actually functioned as a crew. It was gonna be the same four guys. Every night, you had the same shift, the same—so, you weren’t moving around. Like today, we may not work, we could work together as four guys, and then not work together again for six months, so there’s no crew feeling, ‘cause we’re just on this table. But in terms of a crew, you really foster really good friendships. You’re in it together, and there’s always one guy who basically becomes like the crew captain. The boss is gonna talk to him to shape up the crew and stuff like that, and when you were going for your own, he was the one that would chop up the money, and lay off the pencil. Everybody chopped it up, but the crew feeling, it’s definitely like a team feeling, and a championship team. You know when you’re on a good crew.
Most of the time it is all but impossible to practice any kind of tell detection when playing Internet poker. There are some situation that you can analyze, and they can perhaps become something akin to what is generally described as a “tell”, but not nearly as good as those might be in the real world. An online tell is usually something like quick action, or delayed action, or something being said in the Chat Box, or the way the player bets, how much and in what situations, and with what cards, in which position, at which stage of the tournament, and so on. It’s much harder to detect this, or such mannerisms, but it is possible. 슬롯사이트검증 We are of an age, 바카라홈피쿠폰 I was really good at dealing craps, and I really enjoyed the challenge of getting tips. The dealers there [the Flamingo] were mostly on the older side, and they were a little caustic, and they really put a lot of pressure on you to make sure you were hustling and getting tips on the table, and quite often it skirted around the line of what you should and shouldn’t do in terms of how you treat a customer, but I became very good at it. Then one day, I just got totally sick of it. I mean, I enjoyed people, and I enjoyed dealing with people, but I got tired of the constant hustle of trying to get out there, and every thought you had was how you were going to get a bet down for the dealers. And it just hit me one day, and I said, you know, I’m just, I’m tired of this, and I thought I’d go into management.

Consequently, many of the relative strengths and weaknesses associated with the playing of these hands are quite common to them all. 카지노공식사이트 TWO CARD COMBINATION 스피드공식홈페이지 So you’re playing, point six. “Hey, what’s your first name,” “Oh, Dave,” “David, if you put five dollars behind there, you get six to five.” “Oh, really?” “Yeah, that’s why they don’t have it marked, ‘cause they don’t want you to put your money back there, ‘cause you get more than even money. If you think they’re gonna make a six, or an eight, whatever the point is, put five bucks back there, you know, you win one, you lose one, you’re still ahead.” “Oh, really?” So you put it back there, and you always get three or four bites at the apple, I mean, sometimes they win, sometimes they lose, but you’re trying to help people.
In addition, this kind of a play requires a great deal of professionalism and sophistication on your part, as well as your ability to so accurately pin down your opponent and his or her playing style, so that you can successfully pull this off the majority of the time. 온라인 슬롯 카지노 ‒ You can win both bets – good 에볼루션공식홈피 So it was like, “Whoa.” So then, a few weeks later, he’s with a bunch of girls, and these are top notch girls.

And, of course, this applies equally well to the higher-limit and higher buy-in no-limit cash games, where there are – either – better players, or the table plays short-handed, like at the final table of a tournament, or similar such short-handed play. In all these situations, especially in short-handed play, the value of pocket Jacks increases significantly. 에볼루션검증공식홈패이지 One final point about SPLITTING PAIRS: as TABLE 5 shows, you always split ‘8s’ and ‘Aces’. With ‘8s’, you can draw as many cards as you like, but most Casino’s rules dictate that when you split ‘Aces’: 에볼루션홈피추천순위 Yeah. And it was really nice talking to them.
Today, we are still feeling the effects of such stupidity by those who were in Congress at that time, and those who are still there today, as well as those in the Department of Justice who have decided to attack the one industry that could have provided billions of dollars in taxable revenue to a nation struggling under $20 trillion in debt. 카지노검증공식싸이트 Most major Casinos use more than one deck to play TWENTY-ONE. In fact, many have opted to go to four, six, and even eight decks. There are numerous reasons for the increased number of decks. To name two: 에볼루션보증공식사이트 Well, as a shift manager, you’ve pretty much dealt with all the day-to-day problems of all the staff on your shift. So you would deal with callouts that fell outside of the normal parameters of what’s going on or needed your approval. You would deal with any gaming-related issue that the pit managers and floor people couldn’t handle, or that the customer wanted somebody’s boss to deal with. You’d walk around and be responsible for making sure that the floor was balanced, that the table limits were appropriate, that the pace of the games was correct, that all the things that are supposed to be happening are happening. You’d liaise with surveillance to see what, if any, issues they were having, or if you wanted somebody watched, whether it’s a player or a staff member, for whatever reason. And you would also deal with the regulators to make sure that they didn’t have any issues as well.
Middle suited connectors can sometimes be playable when you have them in the blinds and the pot is unraised, and therefore if you’re in the big blind you can see a cheap flop without further investment, and if you’re in the small blind you can see the flop by investing only half an additional bet. Under any other circumstance medium suited connectors should be thrown into the muck. 토토보증검증홈피 This technique will take a while to master (if you master it quickly, you aren’t turning the cards fast enough). But after a while you will get used to the idea that high cards (‘9’ through ‘Ace’) are BAD and count ‘-1’, while low cards (‘2’ through ‘7’) are GOOD and count ‘+1’. 에볼루션바카라 패턴 Floor, maybe a year or two to get promoted to pit, and then another year or so to get back up shift.
Since it is a such a raggedy and uncoordinated flop, many times your pocket 10s will actually be the best hand. Therefore, whenever you raise like this, always be prepared to make a continuation play at the pot, because anything other than that will show weakness and open up the opportunity for your opponents to instead make a play at you regardless of what they actually have, and you therefore will have lost the initiative and will have to throw your hand away.

Therefore, the best lesson to be learned here is to not be blinded by the fact that you have picked up a pocket pair. 언 택트 카지노 Casino owners and employees should be the first to admit that most of the people who enter their Casino have little or no idea how to play BLACKJACK properly. Dealers and Pit Bosses routinely watch as the player makes the correct play on one hand and the incorrect play on the next. They watch as the players choose not to DOUBLE DOWN on a prime opportunity, SPLIT PAIRS when they shouldn’t, DRAW when they should STAND, and STAND when they should DRAW. 에볼루션사이트보증 Chris Bianchi
Such multitable tournaments usually take the form and structure of the well-known WSOP tournaments, and consequently they are easily understood by anyone who has already played in a land-based poker tournament. Slots TABLE 7 – POCKET SIZED CHARTS POCKET SIZE STRATEGY CHARTKEY: S=Stand ~ H=Hit ~ D=Double Down ~ X=SPLIT ~ F = Face ~ A = Ace 토토보증공식홈피 I looked at this guy—here’s another guy, four hours at twenty-five dollar average bet. He had eight hundred dollars in room service, and he didn’t have any alcohol. And so he comes down and he tells me, “You better comp me for that, you’re supposed to comp me for that food.” I said, “Peter, how did you consume eight hundred dollars’ worth of food in three days?” “Uh, my wife and I are good eaters.” I said, “Well I can’t—I’ll take care of your room, but I’m not taking care of your food, I’m not taking care of your airfare.” “Well, I’ll never come back here again.” I says, “If you’re gonna do this, I can’t afford to have you back here.”
In the real world, almost all such tournaments are usually single-table satellites, where only the winner is qualified to enter the subsequent qualifying event. But there are also those that are called multitable Sit-n-Go’s, and this simply means that there are more than one table playing tournaments in the Sit-n-Go format. There could be two tables, three tables, or as many as that particular poker site chooses to offer. In these multi-table format Sit-n-Go’s, usually the winner of the table then moves on to the next round, and so on. 토토싸이트보증검증 TABLE 1 – BASIC STRATEGY 토토쿠폰싸이트 Ten thousand was the maximum bet. There was, at times, requests by players to bet more, and depending on their hands played—I know there was a gentleman who played at Red Rock, and he had his own reserved game, two reserved Blackjack games, and I was the one to track each and every bet he made so that I could adjust the amount bet each and every hand, because that was where—the management was concerned with the true comp value, so every bet he made, I had to adjust in the system what he was betting. And, at Red Rock, three hands was our maximum hands—three at ten, two at fifteen, or one at twenty-five, I believe was our standard for the special limit player.
Most of the time this will result in you either winning the pot immediately, or, which may be preferable but is nevertheless dangerous, you will get that player committed to playing the pot with you. 에볼루션바카라 규칙 In addition to the combinations noted above, many Casinos allow you to DOUBLE DOWN on ‘SOFT’ totals. Refer to TABLE 4 for further details on ‘SOFT’ DOUBLE DOWNs. As an example, if you have ‘A-3’ and the dealer’s face up card is a ‘6’, this is an excellent time to DOUBLE DOWN. 에볼루션사이트추천 What kind of things would he do?

To adjust to this, it first became necessary to realize that in the world of Internet poker everything will go by a lot faster, as I mentioned earlier. Once we are able to make that adjustment, players such as myself who first learned to play tournaments in the real world quickly realized and understood that the large fields of players in Internet poker tournaments are not really as daunting as they initially appeared. 스카이카지노 ‒ The opposite sex; 정식 에볼루션 That was unique. We were in the bowels of this old converted cruise ship. Three days a week, we’d sail to nowhere, just past the three-mile international border to open up the casino.

Many thick-haired people ask is – should I get my hair thinned? Is your hair too thick? Or is there just too much? While you may think an easy fix is thinning out your thick and volumized hair to make it more manageable, thinning may not be the best idea.
Sometimes thinning can lead to a disappointing result. While thinning will take most of the bulk out of your hair, it won’t make the strands less thick. Let’s dive in and thoroughly answer your question.
What It Means to Get Your Hair Thinned
Thinning shears (used by a hairdresser) are scissors that limit how much hair is cut off. They have one straight edge and one notched edge for guiding how much hair is cut.
If your hairdresser overuses thinning shears, you may have problems styling it, due to the different lengths. While getting your hair thinned won’t take any length off, its purpose is to help change the shape and structure of your hair.
If your hair is very thick, you’ll want to consider getting your hair thinned. However, if you have short thick hair, thinning may only make it look shorter, and you’ll end up with a fluffy bob.
Should You Get Your Hair Thinned?
One of the first things you should consider before doing anything else is finding a hairdresser who has been in their field for more than five years.
Maybe, schedule an appointment for them to look at your hair and how it grows and ask them for advice on getting the desired look you’re going for. Finding a good hairdresser makes all the difference when deciding whether you need your hair thinned or not.
There are also a few things to consider before getting your hair thinned, which we’ll cover in detail below.
How Long Is Your Hair?
If you have short hair, you’ll want to stay away from thinning as it won’t give you the result you’re looking for – actually, quite the opposite. The longer your hair, the better you’ll be.
The weight will bring down how much volume your natural hair has with longer hairstyles. So, thinning your hair with a longer hairstyle will help it look not as poofy – as long as you have the weight behind it.
Your Hair Will Take a Different Shape
Hairdressers will start thinning from the midsection of your hair, so the roots will look bulkier while the ends are thinner. If you have naturally curly or wavy hair, thinning it will take some bulk out of it. However, the curls may become tighter, and the wave pattern may differ.
If you have straight or fine hair, you’ll see a massive difference in how your hair lays flat or is styled. Curly, thick hair will show subtle differences that only you’ll recognize when it comes to styling.
It May Become More Difficult To Style (Or More Effortless)
If you’re looking for a flatter, more relaxed hair, thinning is the quick fix. However, if you have straight hair, your natural curls or waves may take some heat and beauty products to get it right again.
Since the way hairdressers thin your hair, you’ll have more hair near the roots and less hair near the tips, which can cause your hair to bunch up unless you have long hair to weigh it down.
Also, you may notice more poof if your hair is short and naturally curly or thick and more frizz if your hair is straight or volumized. Taming your hair may become more difficult depending on your natural hair type.
You’ll Need More Washes Than Before
Perhaps the most significant benefit (depending on perspective) is with thick, volumized hair, you can get away with more lazy days without having to wash your hair every time you shower, and it looks great.
When your hair is thinned, it will look greasier and dirty quicker because the texture has changed. Then again, if you’re a shower everyday type of person, this won’t be a problem for you.

Fixing a Thinned Haircut Takes Forever
Another great thing about volumized, thick hair is that you can get away with layered and V-cuts. However, when your hair looks and feels thinner, getting these types of cuts will only make it look shorter and messy.
You may become tired of thinner ends and easier breakage, so waiting for it to grow out may take forever, considering the shortness starts near your roots. Your best bet may be to get a blunt bob and invest in some extensions until your hair grows out again.
Pros of Thinning Your Hair
The advantages of using thinning shears on your next haircut depend on what you’re looking for. Some people want thick, volumized hair – others want a flatter, more tameable look.
When you’re thinning your hair, you can expect the bulk of your hair to be trimmed down (it will look closer to your face). Your hair will appear wispier and light, and your hair will seem as if it has a feathered, more textured look.
Some benefits to a thinned haircut are:
- Adds texture to any length of hair. For short hair, opt for layers or thinned – not both.
- Thinner hair gives off a younger and modernized look.
- It will allow thick-haired people to have a flatter approach and fine-haired people to have a bulkier look.
- Helps make your head feel lighter, which will decrease getting overly warm during the summer months.
- Great for fixing a bad haircut.
- It settles easier.
- You’ll feel it’s easier to manage – most of the time.
Cons of Thinning Your Hair
Not enough thinning, and you won’t get your desired look. Too much thinning will result in more flyaways, frizz, and dryness. Ensure you have a hairstylist who knows what they are doing and have used thinning shears before.
The cons of getting your hair thinned are as follows:
- Make sure your hair is healthy enough to thin – otherwise, dry hair plus thinning shears equals more frizz and unmanageable hair.
- It’s easy to get carried away with thinning shears. Remember, you want relaxed hair that is easier to style – not hair with its own mind.
- You may run into more breakage and easier to damage hair when using heating tools and hair products.
- Your hair may grow slower.
- Keep thinning scissors away from your roots; otherwise, the top of your head will end up poofy and uncontrollable.
- Remember – fine hair plus thinning shears removes volume, which equals more frizz and flyaways.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you still unsure about whether you should get your hair thinned or not? Here are some common questions asked by thousands of people in the same position as you.
Does Thinning Your Hair Make it Grow Back Thicker?
Getting your hair thinner by a hairdresser doesn’t affect how your hair grows – thicker, denser, or otherwise. It really depends on your hair type, which you will notice more.
Thinner hair will look thicker with a thinned haircut. Thicker hair will look flatter with a thinned haircut. The process of how it grows back can only be seen within six months of your thinned cut since everyone’s hair grows differently.
What’s The Difference Between Thinning and Layering?
A layered cut requires ordinary scissors to cut length off in different parts of your hair. For example, a two-layered haircut means the top layer of hair is shorter than the bottom.
A thinned haircut requires special scissors to go through the depths of your hair and cut the bulk of it out.
The biggest difference between layered and thinned cuts is that layers create volume while thinned haircuts create a soft look.
How Often Should I Get My Hair Thinned?
Depending on your desired look, you will decide how often you should get a thinned haircut. On average, getting a haircut every three to four months is recommended.
However, with different hair types, a cut will only be necessary according to your natural hair, whether you should wait or get it done. If your hair is thick, you can wait a couple more months. On the other hand, if your hair is thin, you’ll need to aim for it sooner.
Read Next: How Often Should You Cut Your Hair?
What Happens If I Get My Curly Hair Thinned?
If you have naturally curly hair, thinning it will take the bulk of it down, but it will be hard to notice. If you decide to get your curly hair thinned in hopes that it will help tame down some of those curls, you’ll only end up with potentially more frizz and easier to damage hair.
Not to mention, your curls won’t lay the same as before because thinning shears change the shape and pattern of your hair.
Should I Get My Hair Thinned If I Am Trying to Grow it Out?
If you’re trying to grow your hair out, you shouldn’t get your hair thinned or layered; just trim until you reach the desired length. Thinning your hair or adding style such as layers will only cause your hair to have different lengths, making it seem like your hair is taking forever to grow.
So, Should I Get My Hair Thinned?
Still, the question remains, should I get my hair thinned? One thing you can try is getting it thinned once and see if you like it. Just because your friend had a bad experience doesn’t mean that you will too.
It comes down to the fact of how manageable your hair is. If your hair is fine the way it is, but you notice some breakage and frizz, it may be best to stick to a light trim. If it’s a hot mess and you’re having more bad hair days than not – opt for a thinning haircut. | <urn:uuid:905b8457-1dbc-4121-97bb-89abada9acdf> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://youprobablyneedahaircut.com/should-i-get-my-hair-thinned/ | 2024-02-27T19:41:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474686.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240227184934-20240227214934-00393.warc.gz | en | 0.941047 | 2,189 | [

For World Press Freedom Day we are excited to share a contribution from Mike Okwoche, a prominent TV news anchor for TVC News in Lagos, Nigeria, and an alum of the Broadcast Media International Visitor Leadership Program in 2017. Inspired by what he observed during his IVLP trip, Mike founded Rewired Africa Network to promote civic engagement through media and media literacy.
What does freedom of the press mean to you?
The freedom of the press represents or symbolizes every freedom that a country can get. So when we talk about freedom of the press or press freedom, that is the face of freedom in the country. Freedom of the press also means the freedom to dress, the freedom to associate, to move to eat and worship — the freedom to do anything. So, to me, the press is the arrowhead of freedom in a country. If the press is free to operate the way they’re supposed to, then all of us will be free to be anything that we want to be.
I remember traveling to the United States on my IVLP program, and my eyes were really opened to a lot of things. Visiting an institution like the Newseum in Washington, D.C. helped me to see what makes the press what it is. Journalism is the only thing that holds the government on one hand, and the people in the other, bringing them together to either understand or to become accountable to each other. [Journalism] goes a long way to defining who we are and who we are supposed to be. So press freedom is everything, and it is something we need to uphold by every means.
What is the role of journalists and journalism to enhance government and ensure transparency?
My trip to the United States changed my orientation when it comes to how best to hold government accountable, and how best to give voice to the people. Being a senior anchor and a newscaster and presenter on TVC, I’ve used my platform to give voices to people, and a lot of people have had their voices heard on my program. I’ve also conducted trainings as an associate lecturer at an institute of journalism, and I have mentored young people when it comes to what to expect in journalism and how best to approach it. Just this morning on my program we talked about the issue of transparency and the consequences of corruption; I brought guests on the program, people who have been in the fight against corruption for so many years. These are the things we do using my platform to ensure that I give voice to the people and hold government to account.
Do you have any inspirations or heroes in the journalism profession?
Growing up, we used to watch Cyril Stober, a journalist and newscaster in Nigeria. At that time, we used to have just one TV station in the whole country. He used to be the icon for Nigeria television, and he had a lot of influence and impact on all of us.

The chair of the House Intelligence Committee told reporters to “be careful what you ask for” during a discussion of FBI phone records.
He seemed to imply that the reporters themselves, or “other Americans,” could become the targets of congressional investigations should phone records implicate them.
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), speaking at a press briefing Thursday, was answering questions about the FBI’s cooperation with his committee, which is currently investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election. Nunes was a member of the Trump administration’s transition team executive committee.
Asked whether the FBI was providing information in a forthcoming manner for the committee’s investigation, Nunes said what really mattered was that the FBI was providing “timely information when they can get it to us.”
“Why can’t they?” a reporter asked.
“I would assume that because it’s quite complicated as it relates to, if, for example, you were on the phone with the Russian ambassador and somehow your phone call got recorded, would you want them turning over that phone call and that transcript to the committee?” Nunes replied.
“But isn’t there a difference between a call between a private person?” the reporter countered.
Nunes referenced ousted national security adviser Michael Flynn, who resigned after revelations that he spoke to the Russian ambassador to the United States about sanctions before President Donald Trump’s inauguration, when Flynn was a civilian. Nunes had previously mentioned that his committee was calling for any evidence that Trump affiliates were colluding with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election.
“That’s the point here. General Flynn was a private American citizen,” Nunes said. “Look, I’m sure some of you are in contact with the Russian embassy, so be careful what you ask for here because if we start getting transcripts of any of you or any other Americans talking to the press, then we can – do you want us to conduct an investigation on you or other Americans because you were talking to the Russian embassy? I just think we need to be careful.”

Managing your personal finances can seem overwhelming, but with the right knowledge and tools, it can be a straightforward and rewarding process. Whether you’re just starting out or want to improve your finances, these tips will help you take control of your money.
Set Financial Goals: The first step in managing your personal finances is to determine your financial goals. This can include short-term goals, such as saving for a vacation, or long-term goals, such as saving for retirement. Once you have identified your goals, you can develop a plan to achieve them.
Create a Budget: Creating a budget is essential to managing your money. Start by tracking your income and expenses for a month, then create a budget based on your actual expenses. Be sure to include all your expenses such as rent, utilities, groceries and entertainment.
Reduce Your Expenses: Once you’ve set a budget, look for ways to reduce your expenses. This may include eating out less, finding cheaper alternatives to your regular expenses, or negotiating bills with your vendors.
Increase Your Income: Increasing your income can also help you achieve your financial goals. This may include asking for a raise at work, finding a side hustle, or starting a business.
Start Saving: Saving is an important part of managing your finances. Start by creating an emergency fund to cover unexpected expenses. Then, work on saving for your long-term goals, such as a down payment on a house or retirement.
Pay Off Debt: Paying off debt is also important for managing your finances. Start by paying off your high-interest debts, such as credit cards. Then, work on paying off other debts, such as student loans or car loans.
Invest for the Future: Investing can help you grow your wealth and achieve your long-term financial goals. Consider investing in a retirement account, such as a 401(k) or IRA, or invest in stocks or real estate.
Managing your personal finances can be a lot of work, but it’s worth it in the end. By setting goals, creating a budget, reducing expenses, increasing income, saving money, paying down debt, and investing for the future, you can take control of your money and achieve financial security. | <urn:uuid:bf16f73b-e245-465e-af07-b677d0f7b878> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://teacherhaines.com/some-basic-steps-to-manage-your-personal-finances/ | 2024-02-29T06:14:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474784.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20240229035411-20240229065411-00393.warc.gz | en | 0.953762 | 460 | [

According to developmental psychologists, the foundation of human imagination emerges in childhood and its lifelong trajectory reflects the nature of the support that nurtures it during this time.
Bolster a young child’s budding imagination at home or in school with encouragement and she will sense this and accept more risks in whatever activities and challenges she faces. Such encouragement will prime her to get up and try again when she faces setbacks that would otherwise discourage her. Multiply that a thousand or ten thousand times and a young adult will emerge with the confidence to try, stumble, and try again until she’s satisfied with the results produced.
On the other hand, if you habitually fertilize a young imagination with doubt or fear or conditional “yes, but” responses, the emergent character of that person will be hesitant and wary of really extending himself for fear of censure and loss of self esteem.
The first example identifies the foundation of a life characterized by enduring resilience and an increasing ability to live an adventurous, creative life. Such a life will be characterized by stubbed toes, literal and metaphorical, but also by grand visions borne in the imagination and attempts to actualize those visions. Some of these will come to fruition.
The esteemed creativity researcher Paul E. Torrance circumscribed guidelines for a creative life with his eponymous ‘Manifesto for Children‘ in 1983 (image below). Since then, his guidelines have achieved a camouflaged celebrity, caught as they are between a schooling system etched, for the most part, in an imagination-stifling regime and a societal yearning for the much-sought-but-elusive innovation.
Paul Torrance’s ‘Manifesto for Children’ fits well into our era of Personalized Learning. Can schools uphold it? SelfDesign certainly does.
At the end of the day, or rainbow, we need to clearly see or identify the character of the young man or woman emerging from our education system. If we want that person to be resilient, self-determined and confidently imaginative than the education system they encounter throughout their schooling experience needs to prioritize that kind of character nurturance. For the most part, the current path of conventional schooling remains dominated by locked-in curriculum that impedes the creative and innovative destiny we say we want to inculcate in today’s children and teens.

The Best Omega Replica Watches all come with spectacular “Summer Blue” dials, and the greater the water resistance, the darker the blue color. The three Seamaster Aqua Terra 75th Anniversary models feature a light blue dial as they are rated to 150 meters. Within the Seamaster line, they are the lightest on water resistance and, therefore, have lighter dials.
New Seamaster Aqua Terra models
These three new Seamaster 75th Anniversary models represent the great variety of the Aqua Terra line, first introduced in 2002. First among today’s releases is the 38mm Aqua Terra 150M ladies’ version, which is easily recognizable by the hour markers shaped like sailboat hulls. The second is the popular 41mm Aqua Terra 150M Replica Watches Online with its horizontal “teak” pattern on the dial. Rounding out the lineup of three models is the chunky yet functional 43mm Aqua Terra Worldtimer.
In terms of summery vibes, all three models are perhaps the best. In particular, the 41mm Aqua Terra 150M on a light blue rubber bracelet. This combination is an absolute stunner. A light blue dial with a teak pattern and a light blue rubber strap — it hardly gets more summery than that.
The 38mm “ladies’” version also features a sun-brushed Summer Blue dial. It only comes on a bracelet, but it looks equally stylish, and we know that the bracelets of the 38mm models are super comfortable.
The Seamaster Aqua Terra 150 38mm ref. 188.8.131.52.03.004
Most of you will know that Omega Replica Watches China offers multiple versions of the 38mm model in its collection. The most well-known variants, without a doubt, are the Aqua Terra Shades models that were announced last year but officially introduced only in May of this year.
The Shades models come in 34mm and 38mm sizes with sunray-brushed dials in vibrant colors. The dials drop the other models’ instantly recognizable teak-deck dial pattern. Additionally, the case features an almost entirely polished finish. The result is a series of 38mm models with standout dials suited for both men and women.
Lastly, Omega Replica Watches For Men offers a series of 38mm models explicitly targeting ladies. The regular 38mm ladies’ models are instantly recognizable thanks to the different, more feminine shape of the indices and the wavy pattern on the dial. The new 75th Anniversary model of the 38mm Aqua Terra is based on that concept.
The bracelet is a show-stopper
The watch features a 38mm stainless steel case that is 12.2mm thick and 45mm from lug to lug. It has a lovely light blue sunray gradient dial with sailboat-shaped indices. The hour markers are filled with light blue Super-LumiNova. All the hands also feature blue lume to complete the “Summer Blue” look.
The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M 41mm ref. 184.108.40.206.03.005
The second model is the 41mm Aqua Terra 150M, a watch that most of you will know very well. The watch features a 41mm case that measures 13.2mm thick, 47.9mm long, and 20mm between the lugs. The Omega Replica Store case is combined with a stunning light blue gradient dial also featuring the famous pattern teak resembling sailboats’ wooden decks. The combination of the pattern, the color, and the subtle gradient makes for an fantastic watch.
The rhodium-plated hands and indexes are filled with light blue Super-LuminNova. I love that the light blue color is significantly lighter than the dial, as it creates a nice bit of contrast. As with the regular 41mm Aqua Terra models, the date window is at 6 o’clock, and the date disc is in a dial-matching hue, maintaining the “Summer Blue” theme.
The Omega caliber 8900
On the case back, you will find a similar depiction of Poseidon and his two seahorses as on the other two models. Underneath, Omega equips the 41mm Aqua Terra with its Co-Axial caliber 8900. This METAS-certified Master Chronometer automatic movement operates at 25,200vph, has 39 jewels, and delivers a 60-hour power reserve.
If I were looking for my next summer watch, I’d consider the search over and pick this new 41mm Aqua Terra 75th Anniversary model on the rubber strap. It’s the perfect summer piece that combines a sporty character with super classy looks. An absolute winner!
The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M GMT Worldtimer ref. 220.127.116.11.03.002
The Omega Replica Buy Now has a 43mm stainless steel case that is 14.1mm thick, 50.3mm long, and 21mm between the lugs. Just like the other two new Aqua Terra models, this watch comes equipped with a light blue gradient dial. Having said that, the GMT Worldtimer dial features many more elements and intricacies that define the face of the watch.
The two-tone 24-hour ring seems to have remained the same, though, and the depiction of the globe also still has some gold touches. Like the other two models, the hands and indices are filled with a light blue color Super-LumiNova. The date window at 6 o’clock also features a blue date disc in line with the other colors on the dial.
Behind the commemorative case back, you will find the Omega Co-Axial world-time caliber 8938. This automatic METAS-certified Master Chronometer movement operates at 25,200vph, has 39 jewels, and provides a 60-hour power reserve. Besides displaying the time in hours, minutes, and seconds, the movement can also track the time in 24 different time zones.
Just like the 41mm Omega Replica Watches For Sale, I prefer the rubber strap as it tremendously complements the look of the dial. The Worldtimer has never been my favorite of the Aqua Terra models. But I have to say that this 75th-anniversary version does look very nice. | <urn:uuid:6044cd56-8849-4b4b-a491-67d56e6a0881> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.bestomegawatches.com/omega-seamaster-aqua-terra-models-that-are-incredible-summer-watches/ | 2024-03-03T00:00:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947476137.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20240302215752-20240303005752-00393.warc.gz | en | 0.92101 | 1,323 | [

Earlier this year, at the Consumer Electronics Show, I had a conversation with Michael Børresen, president and chief designer of the Danish loudspeaker manufacturer Raidho Acoustics. He made one specific point about his company that, while simple in concept, struck me as alarmingly important in understanding his loudspeaker-design philosophy. Børresen said that whereas most companies buy raw drivers from third-party vendors but make their cabinets in-house, he decided early on that Raidho would do the opposite. He realized that while cabinet-making capability is readily available, designing and building drive-units from the ground up would give him the absolute technical control he needed to make Raidho speakers sound precisely as he envisioned them. Basically, he didn’t want to outsource what is arguably a loudspeaker’s most important component: its drivers.
That conversation hit me like a ton of lead. Why don’t more speaker manufacturers actually make the things that make the sound -- the drivers -- themselves? Based on my experience, I’ve concluded that the answer is one of two things: Either they don’t know how to design drivers, or they don’t have the capital to invest in the manufacturing capability.
One thing was certain from my conversation with Børresen: Raidho speakers are designed from the ground up and the inside out, starting with the drive-units. But then there are a number of technical elements that are important to Raidho. Read on . . .
The Raidho C2.1 ($28,000 USD per pair) is the smallest floorstanding model in the company’s C series. The new .1 designation (the previous model was the C2.0) stems from changes made in the development of Raidho’s flagship model, the C4.0. Above the C2.1 is a larger floorstander, the three-way C3.1, and below it the stand-mounted, two-way C1.1. The C2.1 (45.5”H x 20.5”D x 8”W, 110 pounds each) is a 2.5-way design, meaning that its top two drivers -- a 1” sealed-back ribbon tweeter and a 4.5” midrange-woofer -- are basically configured like a standard two-way (there is no low-cut filter on the midrange-woofer). The difference is that the C2.1’s third driver -- the bottom woofer -- augments the bass response of the midrange-woofer above it below 180Hz. This 2.5-way configuration is increasingly popular in compact floorstanders because it retains most of the simplicity of a two-way crossover while adding more bass and power handling than a single-woofer design could provide.
I exchanged a number of e-mails with Michael Børresen to learn exactly what was new in the .1 models, and he was quite forthcoming with information. That was a good thing, as nothing is different in the speakers’ appearance; it’s all under the skin, starting with the ribbon tweeter: “We have revised the tweeter by giving it a new interlocked conductive trace pattern,” Børresen said. “Where the former had a straight-line pattern, the new one has a waved interlocking pattern. The main result of this is that the tweeter membrane is driven over a much larger area and the non-driven areas have been reduced by more than 90%. The thing is that, from a measurement point of view, nothing has changed: specs remain the same, distortion unchanged; but to the ear everything has changed. I believe that the main change is in the frequency band above the hearing/measuring limit, and performance there is equally important.”
The bass driver used in Raidho’s original C-series speakers was developed eight years ago. Some would say it was ahead of its time, due to its excellent stiffness in-band and the use of neodymium magnets. Also novel is the mounting method: the front face of each driver’s chassis, machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, also acts as a portion of the speaker’s front baffle. The new versions of the Raidho drive-units offer evolutionary improvements. Børresen: “It’s all about the dynamic nonlinearities that are present in all loudspeaker designs. There’s deflection in the surround and suspension, there is inductance in the voice coil, and hysteresis losses in the voice-coil former, just to mention a few of the items that have been refined. In real terms, it means that geometry has been optimized, that the voice-coil former material has been changed to titanium, and that the inductance in the voice coil has been reduced to one third! The titanium is free from the dynamic hysteresis damping that is so present in the aluminum material previously used.”
As for the C2.1’s crossover, that, too, has been tweaked in terms of the wiring and parts quality. As for his company’s overall approach to crossover design, Børresen said, “In Raidho speakers the drivers are wired in series and the unwanted frequencies are then diverted around the driver by the crossover components. This has one profound advantage: In the crossover region, the drivers are fed the exact same current. This keeps the phase response stable under dynamic loads. It translates into speakers that don’t change character when loaded, and the acoustic image remains stable. In the C2.1 the crossover point is at 3kHz. The bottom bass driver in the 2.5-way system is rolled off at approximately 180Hz. The cabling on the Cx.1 is now a combination of Nordost Valhalla and Odin.”
Lastly, I was impressed that Raidho can not only make a speaker that has flat frequency response, but that they have the psychoacoustic understanding and the engineering expertise to make it not flat in a very specific way. Børresen: “The crossover region becomes rather critical, and though the school books tell you to make this region straight and flat, I don’t make it flat, because flat means it stands out! Our hearing will immediately recognize the tiny differences going on in that region and thus divert our attention there. The solution is to make a deliberate suckout in the crossover region where the frequency response has a 2-3dB dip centered at the crossover point. So Raidho speakers do not deliberately measure straight, they sound straight. This was the accident of the famed BBC monitor LS3/5A; people have often seen this curve as a target curve for loudspeaker design, and even some digital-correction units have this BBC curve built-in for adjusting speaker response, which is plain wrong. The BBC curve is not universal, but fits those drivers in that exact implementation.”
The C2.1 has a claimed sensitivity of 87dB (2.83V/1m), a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, and a frequency response of 40Hz-50kHz. There are three ports on the rear panel, and a single pair of five-way binding posts. The finish options are Walnut Burl Veneer, Black Piano, and White High Gloss. The rather narrow C2.1 has a plinth with a wider footprint than the speaker itself, for solid lateral stability. I found the overall build quality to be very good, and in keeping with what’s typically seen at the price.
It’s fair to say that Raidho speakers are highly engineered, and specifically voiced to produce a sound that is all Raidho. The question was, what would I think of that sound?
Although I gave the Raidho C2.1s a solid week of break-in before I began any serious listening, it was during that week that my first observations formed. I watched several movies in those first seven or eight days, and with each film there was at least one interesting moment in which my head darted to one side of the room or the other. Each time, some odd effect here or there in the soundtrack seemed to come to life, sounding both strikingly real and ultraprecisely placed to the outside of a speaker cabinet: a screeching chalkboard, metal scraped against metal, a voice off to one side -- these movie effects were the first hint that the Raidhos were quite different from other speakers that have recently visited my Music Vault.
Once I began listening to music, the C2.1’s character took on a more definite shape. First, there was no indication that the output of the ribbon tweeter was in any way sonically disconnected from that of the midrange driver. The transition was simply seamless -- the two drivers sounded as one, as Michael Børresen had indicated they would. I repeat: You won’t hear the C2.1’s tweeter while separately hearing its midrange. The blend, as near as I could tell, was perfectly transparent.
Looking at the C2.1’s in-room measurements, that depression centered at 3kHz that Børresen referred to is clearly obvious visually. Also, you can see the smooth rise in level out to just about 20kHz. I was somewhat concerned that the rise might make the speaker sound a bit hot in the uppermost treble over the long term, but that never happened. So much for conventional wisdom. The ribbon sounded detailed and airy when it needed to be, but never bothersome or sonically obvious in any way. The takeaway: The Raidho C2.1 could be just right for those listeners who love ribbon tweeters and for those who can’t stand them.
Frequency response in Jeff Fritz's Music Vault listening room (smoothed to 1/6th octave).
Moving down into the midrange, the good news continued: I heard a substantially neutral midband with no tonal discontinuities. As you might also surmise from the frequency-response graph, the mids weren’t upfront in the soundstage, but nor did they sound distant or diminished in scale. First-rate articulation was a defining characteristic of the C2.1, which reproduced all the small shifts and nuances that make music sound exciting and lifelike. Kristy’s version of the 1944 standard “It Could Happen to You,” from her My Romance (16/44.1 AIFF, Alma), was smooth but not homogenized. Don Thompson’s bass never got boomy or indistinct, as it can sound through lesser speakers. The C2.1s could play intimately, but with finesse and speed.
But could they rock? I played Adele’s “Rollin’ in the Deep,” which everyone in the world now owns, from her 21 (16/44.1 AIFF, XL Recordings). The sound was punchy and clear, even if the recording itself lacks the dynamic range to make the song as good as it could be. Nonetheless, the Raidhos were not so polite that they robbed the music of its energy and propulsion, as some audiophile speakers do. In short, rock rocked.
Those invisible crossover frequencies were again not on display with acoustic piano music of all genres. I tried to listen for where and when the lower woofer in this 2.5-way design came into play and found it simply not doable. The upper bass was punchy and quick but not lean or thin. The lower bass was surprising, given the modest driver complement. I was not expecting the smallish woofers to be able to do justice to the bass-drum whacks in “Norbu,” from Bruno Coulais’s music for the film Himalaya (16/44.1, Virgin). Although the post-whack decay was cut a bit short, and the C2.1s failed to fully pressurize my room as larger speakers have, the initial stroke was clearly audible, and there was enough impact that I could feel it in my chest. Impressive, even if not fully realized.
There were times when I knew I was reaching the limits of what the C2.1 could do in the bass. Jonas Hellborg’s The Silent Life (16/44.1, Day Eight Music), particularly “Low,” will test the limits of any speaker. His electric-bass playing on this track (and on the whole album) is pure energy, and soars in a way rarely heard from this instrument. The Raidhos were capable of getting about 90% of his virtuosic performance just right, but couldn’t quite reproduce the scale and physical propulsion of the bottommost frequencies that are required to make “Low” come fully alive. But I’ve never heard a speaker with so limited a driver complement reproduce as wide a bandwidth as the Raidho C2.1.
And when it came to high-resolution music, the C2.1 was quite capable. In fact, here is where it shone. As I fed the Raidho better and better source material, it kept pace by giving me more and more resolution of fine detail and musical nuance. It never got hot in the top end or brittle in the midband, but just kept digging deeper and deeper into the recorded event, exposing more musical beauty at every turn. I listened to our own 2L-TWBAS 2012 Sampler (2L, SoundStageRecordings.com) in its entirety at 24-bit/176.4kHz. The Norwegian Armed Forces Staff Band’s version of Eugène Bozza’s Children’s Overture sounded outstanding. I could hear deep into this recording and marveled at the detail, particularly in the highs. The bells and brass were simply crystalline in nature, with completely delineated decays and crisply rendered transient attacks.
Raidho vs. Sonus faber
The Sonus faber Amati Futura ($36,000/pair) is a bit more expensive than the Raidho C2.1, but both are stylish, modestly sized floorstanders designed to enhance their surroundings rather than detract from or dominate them. With its engraved chrome and stringed grilles, the Amati is the visually “louder” speaker; you could say that it’s exceptionally tasteful in its bling, but understated it is not. The Raidho C2.1 is a touch more subdued. Its aluminum front baffle (actually, drive-unit faceplates) is matte black and it has a very narrow profile, but these elements are optically set off by its bright-white drivers. The body of the Raidho’s cabinet is very nicely finished, if not quite to the same glass-like glossiness as the Sonus faber’s. In terms of build quality, the speakers seem about equal: Both are solidly constructed, and all parts, seams, and fittings appear to have been sweated to the same level. The Amati is physically slightly more substantial, but that’s no surprise given its larger size, four drive-units vs. three, and wider front baffle.
The Raidho C2.1 is a 2.5-way, the Amati Futura a 3.5-way, which means the Sonus has substantially more cone surface area for reproducing bass frequencies. In addition to that, perhaps the most obvious difference between the two -- and this proved important in the listening -- was the C2.1’s ribbon tweeter vs. the Amati’s soft dome. The ribbon, in this case, sounds more extended, and is the more high-resolution driver, plain and simple.
The Sonus faber sounded softer and more polite up top, and therefore not able to reproduce the air and space around performers as well as the Raidho. The Amati was slightly more forgiving of bright recordings and the speaker’s overall voicing was always easy on the ears, but even with its ribbon and the detail it imparted, I didn’t find the C2.1 at all aggressive up top. The Sonus faber Amati Futura sounded, in the upper frequencies, exactly as its in-room frequency-response plot would lead you expect it to sound, but the Raidho did not -- it didn’t sound a bit tipped up, even though the graph indicates that it should.
As different as the two speakers’ highs were, their reproduction of the low end also greatly diverged. The Sonus faber could play bigger and go deeper in the bass than the Raidho -- not surprising, given its bigger bass drivers -- but the C2.1 was more adept at following bass lines with maximum articulation and faithfulness while perfectly tracking the musical flow. Both speakers’ midbands were generally neutral, and neither exhibited any tendency to compartmentalize the various regions of the audioband, which indicates an ideal blending of driver outputs in each. Last, as mentioned, the Sonus faber could sound bigger and more authoritative, but the Raidho surprised me with its ability to pull details out of recordings and spring them on unsuspecting me. Both pairs of speakers cast a wide, deep soundstage; with either, I had nothing at all to complain about in the departments of soundstaging and imaging.
The Raidho Acoustics C2.1 is a high-resolution, maximum-articulation transducer that delivered sound in a wholly digestible way that will suit more people than not. It could wow me with its ability to resolve fine detail, but it never fatigued me over the long haul. And its great sound comes in a handsome package that will nicely suit most rooms in which the C2.1s might be placed.
I now know exactly why Michael Børresen wanted to design the C2.1 from the inside out. He was after a particular sound, and he needed to follow his own technical path to get it. In an era of me-too products, the Raidho C2.1 stands out as unique: You won’t find its drivers in speakers made by any other company, nor will you hear this sort of sound from any other product. I recommend that you find a place to listen to a pair of C2.1s, to hear if their performance fits your vision of what high-fidelity sound should be. Me, I’m a believer.

Recipe and Label Analysis
Rachael Ray Nutrish Indoor Complete Chicken, Lentils & Salmon was selected to represent the other products in the line for a detailed recipe and nutrient analysis.
Label and nutrient data below are calculated using dry matter basis.
Rachael Ray Nutrish Indoor Complete Chicken, Lentils & Salmon
Estimated Dry Matter Nutrient Content
Chicken, chicken meal, brewers rice, dried peas, corn gluten meal, lentils, poultry fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), whole flaxseed, cranberries, pumpkin, salmon, dried plain beet pulp, natural flavor, dicalcium phosphate, caramel (color), salt, choline chloride, potassium chloride, taurine, dried blueberry, vitamin E supplement, l-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (source of vitamin C), zinc sulfate, calcium carbonate, ferrous sulfate, niacin, dandelion, manganese sulfate, copper sulfate, vitamin a supplement, thiamine mononitrate, d-calcium pantothenate, biotin, sodium selenite, riboflavin supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride (source of vitamin B6), menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of vitamin K activity), vitamin B12 supplement, folic acid, potassium iodide, vitamin D3 supplement
Fiber (estimated dry matter content) = 8%
Red denotes any controversial items
The first ingredient is chicken. Chicken is considered “the clean combination of flesh and skin… derived from the parts or whole carcasses of chicken”. 1
Chicken is naturally rich in the 11 essential amino acids required by a cat to sustain life.
The second ingredient is chicken meal. Chicken meal is considered a meat concentrate and contains nearly 300% more protein than fresh chicken.
The third ingredient is brewers rice. Brewers rice is a cereal grain by-product consisting of the small fragments left over after milling whole rice. Aside from the caloric energy it contains, this item is of only modest nutritional value to a cat.
The fourth ingredient is dried peas. Dried peas are a good source of carbohydrates. Plus they’re naturally rich in dietary fiber.
However, dried peas contain about 27% protein, a factor that must be considered when judging the meat content of this cat food.
The fifth ingredient is corn gluten meal. Gluten is the rubbery residue remaining once corn has had most of its starchy carbohydrate washed out of it.
Although corn gluten meal contains 60% protein, this ingredient would be expected to have a lower biological value than meat.
And less costly plant-based products like this can notably boost the total protein reported on the label — a factor that must be considered when judging the actual meat content of this cat food.
The sixth ingredient is lentils. Lentils are a quality source of carbohydrates. Plus (like all legumes) they’re rich in natural fiber.
However, lentils contain about 25% protein, a factor that must be considered when judging the actual meat content of this cat food.
The seventh ingredient is poultry fat. Poultry fat is obtained from rendering, a process similar to making soup in which the fat itself is skimmed from the surface of the liquid.
Poultry fat is high in linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid essential for life.
However, poultry fat is a relatively generic ingredient and can be considered lower in quality than a similar item from a named source animal (like chicken fat).
From here the list goes on to include a number of other items. But to be realistic, ingredients located this far down the list (other than nutritional supplements) are not likely to affect the overall rating of the product.
However, this recipe contains sodium selenite, a controversial form of the mineral selenium. Sodium selenite appears to be nutritionally inferior to the more natural source of selenium found in selenium yeast.
It also contains caramel, a natural coloring agent made by caramelizing carbohydrates. It’s used by pet food manufacturers to impart a golden brown tint to the finished product.
However, the concentrated version of this ingredient commonly known as caramel coloring has been more recently considered controversial and found to cause cancer in laboratory animals.2
In any case, even though caramel is considered safe by the FDA, we’re always disappointed to find any added coloring in a pet food.
That’s because coloring is used to make the product more appealing to humans — not your cat. After all, do you really think your cat cares what color their food is?
Another controversial ingredient listed in this recipe is dried plain beet pulp. Beet pulp is a high-fiber by-product of sugar beet processing.
Some denounce beet pulp as an inexpensive filler while others cite its outstanding intestinal health and blood sugar benefits.
We only call your attention here to the controversy and believe the inclusion of beet pulp in reasonable amounts in most cat foods is entirely acceptable.
This recipe receives a 2.5-star rating.

Based on its ingredients alone, Rachael Ray Nutrish Indoor Complete Chicken, Lentils & Salmon dry cat food looks like a below-average food.
The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 37.4%, a fat level of 13.2% and an estimated carbohydrate level of 41.5%.
As a group, the brand features an average protein content of 36.7% and a mean fat level of 13.8%. Together these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 41.5% for the overall product line, alongside a fat-to-protein ratio of 38%.
This means this the Rachael Ray Nutrish dry cat food product line contains above-average protein levels and above-average carbs and average fat, when compared to typical dry cat food.
Rachael Ray Nutrish dry cat food does contain named meat and fish sources as its number one ingredient, but many of its recipes are also bulked out with brewers rice and contain corn gluten meal.
The AAFCO nutrient profile for this product range is also unspecified on the company website.
Has Rachael Ray cat food been recalled in the past?
Yes. In June 2015, a number of Rachael Ray Nutrish wet cat food varieties were recalled due to high levels of vitamin D, which can cause serious health complications in cats.
The products affected were:

View Rainy Summit in a larger map
|Mountain Charlie Road
The plan was to go to Big Basin again. I got the Lexington Reservoir the usual way, but then I was thinking about how to get to Boulder Creek. I could take Bear Creek Road, but since the dirt path near Highway 17 would be pure mud after all this rain, there was no easy way to get there. So I decided to get to Summit on the Old Santa Cruz Highway.
By this time it was raining pretty hard, and I was getting soaked. So out came the poncho. At first I wore it in the obvious way, with my arms sticking out. But then I pulled my arms in, and pulled the poncho over the handlebars. Now I was dry (well, not getting wetter, anyway) and warm, with only my dignity to pay for it.
Since I would be heading northwest on Summit, I took Mountain Charlie Road, which is steep but goes right to the intersection of Summit and Highway 17. I continued on Summit as it passed Redwood Estates and became a one-lane road. In this section the tree cover was good, and I was getting rained on much less. Nonetheless the cold was starting to get to me, perhaps through my drenched socks. I realized that my original plan was out the window, and I'd have to cut it short.
I thought about heading back on Bear Creek Road, but decided that was just a little too short, so I continued up to Black Road. This was the first time I'd ridden north on this part of Skyline.
As I turned onto Black, it immediately became clear that my brakes were shot. I knew the pads were low, but apparently in the rainy ride so far I'd taken the last bit of life out of them. So I gingerly descended, riding the still-functioning front brakes and trying to retain some body heat.
I returned up Highway 17 and through Los Gatos, then over Kennedy. As I began to turn from Kennedy onto Shannon, I suddenly found myself sliding on my shoulder. One moment I was riding along and the next I was down, with zero time in between. Amazing. Luckily nothing was broken, either on me or my bike, and I continued on home. | <urn:uuid:270a69e5-96e2-4784-8e7c-951ef013400a> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | http://www.ziasus.com/2012/03/ | 2024-02-22T11:41:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473738.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222093910-20240222123910-00493.warc.gz | en | 0.98975 | 471 | [

Jen Spencer (02:29):
Well, we're not here to talk about U of A and ASU rivalries or Tucson or Phoenix. We are here to talk about Intelligent Inbound. And so, let's start with just really broadly, what does inbound mean in your revenue organization that you have at Pyx Health?
Christina Rice (02:46):
Sure. Our customers are payers right now. Since we went into market in 2018, we have always sold to the health insurance payer space. And so really for us, our buyers are the executives at the big national health insurance companies. We specifically focus on Medicaid and Medicare payers, so more of those vulnerable populations that they're serving.
But for us, inbound in particular, that means for us that we're getting either at a conference or through digital, those executives at health plans coming into us and saying, "Hey, I want to learn more about Pyx." Or, "I heard about you or there was a referral out in the world." And so as you mentioned, bringing digital to Pyx, we're only about a year into digital. And thanks to SmartBug, really, for helping us do that. And so for us, inbound in digital is relatively new for us.
Jen Spencer (03:48):
I mean, it's still very new for the healthcare industry as a whole, would you say? I mean, you brought digital into Pyx, but you've got this vast experience in the healthcare space. What is shifted that you've seen? Why does digital and inbound make sense for this part of the market?
Christina Rice (04:12):
Yeah, I think healthcare, although innovative in many ways, also is very traditional. If I think about traditional marketing, that's typically how healthcare does it. And so even when we first started, we got a lot of our sales traction doing those outbound efforts. So, we would do direct mailers to these folks. We had someone who did cold calls for a little while. And I think that really for us what shifted is when COVID happened and conferences stopped, people weren't in the office anymore. There was a really big shift in how are we going to connect with these executives that we want to get in front of? We can't do in-person visits anymore. And so it was like we needed something new in our toolbox. And so digital made a lot of sense to us.
And it also made us really take interest and look at our website to say, hey, it was always around for brand recognition for someone to land for someone to say, "Oh yes, this reputation is there." But it was never really a tool to attract. And so again, in that same effort had to make a big investment into the web as well.
Jen Spencer (05:25):
And I mean, we've heard this from a variety of industries, folks said they literally couldn't do what they were doing before. You couldn't travel. You couldn't go and drop into offices. You couldn't attend these conferences, and so you were forced to. I guess, how do you prepare your team, your marketing team, your revenue team, just the operations team in general? How do you prepare for these shifts and changes?
I think COVID caught a lot of people off guard, but it also, as people started to make adjustments, it's almost like they established some new processes for themselves. They got some new behaviors so that if something like this happened again, they were better prepared.
Christina Rice (06:14):
Yeah. Yeah. I think for us, I don't call us a startup anymore necessarily. We're big, we've raised enough money. We have enough revenue, but we still are kind of a fast-paced, high-growth startup in many ways. And so, one, that's good because we are all used to pivoting and change and being able to see the value quickly when we're making those decisions. We're also a really transparent company. I think with any change, whether we're shifting our marketing strategy or going into a new market, for us as a company, part of our culture is, and we say that it's clarity with kindness. It's one of our behaviors that we... And to me, that goes with it.
For us, when we're making these changes, we're really clear on why we're doing it and we can all feel it at the same time. We need to make this shift. We're not seeing the traction that we used to. And for us when we're doing this, and I think about digital specifically, we knew that we needed a leader who was not only an expert in this area, but was someone who this team would follow and love and trust that they were going to be successful in this new venture. And so that's the first thing we did is we found our EVP of marketing who was specifically very expert at digital. And really, it was so fast in how she was not only to gather the team's trust and get things into action, but actually see results.
Jen Spencer (07:51):
And then you mentioned that having that domain knowledge as well. Was that a critical component? Because the things you're describing of finding that EVP of marketing, that marketing leader, mean these are conversations that I've had with countless executives and investors where they want to know what's more important: the tactical skills of how to run digital marketing, run that kind of strategy and launch the strategies, being able to coach, connection to core values of the organization, domain knowledge of what it is that you do? When you were looking for that person, was it even across the board, were there some things that were more important to you than others? I'm wondering what we can learn because so many people have these questions.
Christina Rice (08:39):
Yeah. It's not a super simple answer unfortunately, of just, "Hey, this is kind of the roadmap to it," or, "At least this is what worked for us." But as I mentioned, our company is so strong in our culture. I mean, if you look at our website, if you get recruited by us, if you find a job posting, you kind of find us because you connect with our mission. It's strong. And so first of all, we have to find someone who's aligned with our culture or otherwise they won't be successful or they won't love us. That's kind of our first and foremost.
And then for sure, we needed someone who has done digital, not only strategy, but tactically. We don't have a huge bench of a team because we're not a huge company. And so for us we needed someone that was scrappy enough where they would get in and help the team learn. But also that could see, "Hey, you need to be here in six months and then we're going to learn and then take you to the next level in the next six." And so we were really lucky. I think that that's a little bit of a unicorn type of find, but again, I think if these companies can marry a strong culture with their search for this person, they're going to find who they want.
Jen Spencer (09:52):
Yeah. I think that that strong culture is really key and it's more reason to invest in your culture as an organization and to be really clear on why you do what you do and being as mission-driven as possible.
I have roots in nonprofit. I'm just, "Why do you exist? And if you didn't exist, if your organization didn't exist tomorrow, who would suffer?" And I remember being plagued with that kind of question. And I think nonprofit world lives and breathes that. The for-profit world has, I think, struggled a little bit more. But the more we can learn from those peers that we have, I think the better, because you're talking about fast growth, really, really quick to action, really needing to be all in on what's the goal, what is the vision for this organization? To your point, there are people that are out there, and investing in your culture and showcasing what you do. You're using inbound, a lot of inbound tactics, to then attract that talent as well, I imagine.
Christina Rice (11:07): Yeah. Yeah, totally.
Jen Spencer (11:10):
Let's talk a little bit about more changes when you are you're in an industry that could be a little bit volatile in a way that could be impacted by the market, by politics, by the economy. There's constant conference talk about, "Are we entering a recession? Softening in the market?" Impact on individuals. What do you see? Are there any threats or maybe there are opportunities that you foresee for your business, with the state of the economy, with the state of the market, with what's going on in our world today? Are those things that you're thinking about as you are rolling out initiatives at Pyx?
Christina Rice (11:57):
Yeah, sure. I have been in healthcare since I graduated college. I started on the provider. So, worked in academic medicine, went over to the payer side before coming to Pyx. And I don't think there's been one year in my career where healthcare in politics or how the economy's doing, it's not an industry that's not affected by it, which it also is why I love it. It's never boring. There's always change. There's always things that are going to come up that you get to pivot to or from.
But for us as a company, I think that we're all watching the economy. We're all listening to what's going on. We're anticipating what could be to come. But for our business specifically, we serve vulnerable population. So, that Medicaid, Medicare. And so if there were to be a recession or if the economy does make a change that's not for the better for us, we actually are poised to help more people. And so for us it feels like we have a really good opportunity to make a bigger impact.
We do have these conversations with our plans to say, "Hey, don't worry. We're here to help you. If your membership grows, we're going to grow with you." I would also say that that is a common discussion too around the exchange market. So, those folks that aren't on Medicaid or they're on the marketplace and they can move plans. That's a big thing. COVID allowed a lot of people to stay on Medicaid roles for a long time because they needed to, they should, but some of that's coming to an end. And so how are
these folks going to get served?
Again, we're always talking with our plans about these things. But for us in healthcare generally, and more specifically in the space we're in, we want to be there to help if this happens. We're not necessarily nervous of not being able to do that for our plans and our members.
Jen Spencer (14:00):
How does your marketing strategy tie in? Are you changing messaging on a regular basis? Are you targeting different entities? Is there any impact that external factors have on the way your marketing team actually operates?
Christina Rice (14:25):
Yeah, not quite yet. Mostly because I don't think the economy has appeared as clear as it might be in a few months, but our sales languages have changed or at least our outreach has changed. We know that if Medicaid roles are being redetermined soon, we're talking to exchange plans about, "Hey, how are you going to find and take over these folks who have been on Medicaid that need services? Let us help you keep a continuity of care." It allows us to follow the member wherever their journey is. And so in that case, our sales language has changed, but our marketing hasn't. And that's partially just because we've always been in this space, we're not pivoting into it based on what's happening with the economy. So, we're really familiar with it.
Jen Spencer (15:21):
No, that makes a lot of sense. Can we talk about sales a little bit, sales enablement? How do you go about enabling that sales team with those language changes? Whose responsibility is that in your organization to ensure that that team is really up to speed?
Because I have to imagine, in your space, I could think of so many other companies and folks I know, where those salespeople, they have to be really knowledgeable. They have to at least appear very knowledgeable. If you say the wrong thing, you can be dubbed as a charlatan and you don't know what you're talking about, right? How do you organize that from an operational perspective?
Christina Rice (16:11):
Yeah. Organizational-wise in our company, and this isn't super common actually, just kind of works for us, is that the marketing function, although heavily driving revenue... So, I would say 70% of their work drives revenue generation, reports under operations. And then we also have a chief revenue officer that runs the sales account management team.
Although on an org chart, split very aligned, I think that has to do with the leadership of both teams being best friends. And I say that a little bit tongue in cheek, but the sense of being able to call each other on the weekend and say, "Hey, here's what we're hearing in the market. What are you guys hearing? And what should we make changes to?" I would say our sales folks are incredible. They not only know the space so well, they've been in it a long time. We are looked at as experts in the space. And so our relationships with our plans are very tight.
And so many times these changes in how we're having conversations, it's coming from the market. It's them saying, "Hey, we have this problem. You guys have helped us solve it in the past. Can we talk about how we can solve this together again?" For us, and I think it speaks to the relationships that we're forming as we enter into these markets, is they're coming to us to say, "Hey, can we solution together?" Which I actually love because it means that we aren't saying the wrong thing, and actually we're looked at as true partners to them.
Jen Spencer (17:50):
That's really great and not very common, I don't think. And especially, because what you're saying is you don't even have marketing rolling up to the same executive as sales, right? If I kind of understood correctly.
Christina Rice (18:05): That's right.
Jen Spencer (18:06):
And that you feel like you got really strong alignment between your sales team and your marketing team. Come on, there's got to be something. What's that secret? I'm questioning that and I want to know. I want to learn because I've always had, over my career, had pretty tightly aligned sales and marketing organizations, but my secret weapon was they all rolled up to me. So, I was able to control that.
Christina Rice (18:44):
Eventually they might live together under revenue. I think that's part of just how we operate the business is we're going to put these folks where it makes sense organizationally, structurally, even just workload wise, and it's not perfect. So, don't get me wrong. I talked to the chief revenue officer today and she said, "Hey, I told your marketing director I need three things." And so, really I think what it is just transparency amongst each other. We're always going to be needing things. We're always going to be pushing and pulling between the teams, but we're all under common goal. And I think again, that comes from our startup background is we are running to goals either for reaching revenue targets, for maybe planning for our next financial event.
There are so many common things that we're all running to, that it limits the friction within our operations because we know why we're making these sacrifices, why we're having these conversations, why the sales team is asking for these things. And so sure, there's hard days and there's things that are like, "Gosh, do we really need to do that?" But at the end of the day, when we're running at same goals that are very clear, that we're all aligned around, that we all can benefit from, at the end of the day we get through it and we do what we need to do for each other.
Jen Spencer (20:14):
Awesome. How big of a role does data play in the way that your sales and marketing teams, the whole, this revenue org, the way that everyone's collaborating? Is there specific data that each team is looking at from each other that impacts the work that they do?
Christina Rice (20:33):
Yeah. We've definitely scratched the surface of data, but we're very data driven, but I wouldn't say that we're probably a company that is super sophisticated in the marketing sales data. I mean, we're still making sure that we are using sales enablement tools to drive our business and so forth. It's just because of our age and our experience in the market.
But everything that the sales and marketing team do is driven by data. The things that they share that makes a common language for sure is for our inbound digital leads. I mean, we track them on a spreadsheet. We can very clearly, both teams, regardless of how we feel where inbound leads are coming from, we can see it. We can track those leads back to whether they were digital or they were from a conference from a salesperson. I think that data allows us to really understand what the other teams need, where we need to pivot, and gives us that common language of, "Hey..."
I worked for a health system in my early days, and so when we wanted to do marketing for doctors, doctors always wanted to do a marketing thing that they thought would be super successful, but we didn't use data to drive that. It was like, "Okay, you want a brochure? Let's do a brochure." And so it changes the conversation. It's not, "I want to do this." It's, "We should do this because the data's showing us we need to do it." And to me, that is such an easier conversation to get aligned around and move things faster.
Jen Spencer (22:10):
Absolutely. And so you've got those micro, deep dive analytics, your lead numbers and those lead sources and conversion rates, I'm sure, and those win rates. But if you take a step back and you think about the way you communicate business success with your board or broader executive team, if let's say you could only share three key business metrics with your board that let them know, "Company is doing well," or, "Maybe there's something we have to inspect," what would those three be? People usually get frustrated with me that I only give them three, but I'm just curious, what's at the top of your list?
Christina Rice (22:58):
Yeah. And I feel like these are common. I don't necessarily know if it's going to be anything super fun, but revenue, obviously we're running at a revenue target for tons of reasons. And that is the lens, if you're not hitting revenue, why? Is your digital not working? Are you not getting leads at conferences are whatever it may be. It's such a number that tells you exactly how you're doing and how you're tracking the year.
For us, we're a tech-enabled services company. So, we aren't just technology. We have a whole compassionate call center that takes care of members all day long. For us, margin. We need to show that we are efficient with our people, but we're still caring and giving that services that we need. Again, another one, it shows that we're being fiscally responsible and not over-hiring or not using our resources wisely.
And then I think the third one really, when we're talking to our board, we started the year, I think with, I don't know, 60 employees. We're ending the year with 170. And so for us, retention. We also measure culture. So, I'm sneaking a fourth one. And so I'm totally cheating on this, but we actually measure how we're doing against our culture. Every quarter we send out a staff survey to say, "Hey, are we living up to these things?" And it's not just leaders. We're judging every single person. Are we, as a company, doing that?
And so for me, that's another important one. There's a lot of effort and money into hiring. And so once we're bringing these people on, are we finding the right fit? Are we the right fit for those folks? Are they finding happiness and fulfillment? And are we giving them the jobs that we said we would? For me, that is kind of the holistic view of how a company is doing.
Jen Spencer (24:51):
I love that, and I'm going to allow you the fourth. That's great. Because I want to talk about it. I want to talk about it a little bit. When did that start happening? Quite of a quarterly, are we living up to what we said, who you thought we were or who we said we were going to be? Are we living up to our culture of who we say we are? Was that something that is newer? Is it something that someone, founders of the organization, brought with them from somewhere else?
I guess it's not unique. There's a lot of pulse surveys and things, but for you to call that out as being one of the key business metrics that you would report to the board on the health of the organization, that's pretty significant. That to me means this is really, really important to you. This isn't just talk. Where did that come from?
Christina Rice (25:52):
That actually came from one of our... it's our only private equity partner. And so gosh, it was 2020. We took on... Their name is Rallyday Partners. They're out of Denver. And their private equity is different. It's four founders by founders. So, the four partners were founders of their own companies, which isn't super common. They were all operators.
When they took us on into their portfolio, they put all of their companies in what they call Rallyday Accelerator Program. And it consisted of two things. It was not only strategy. So, defining really what is your strategy and being able to put it into five kind of statements, but the second part was culture. It's not that we, at that point, thought of our culture or invented it, it's that we were able to, as a leadership team, directors and above all sat in a room, we put what was already happening in the company onto a piece of paper to say, "Hey, we were able to solidify what this culture is."
And it's different. It's not five pillars. It's not authenticity or trust. It's not that. We call it our BBOs. It's our beliefs, behaviors and outcomes. We have three beliefs as a company that have behaviors associated with the outcomes that we want. And really, that was kind of the document that gave us a roadmap, not only to measure. It's really easy for us to say, "Hey, as a company, are we prioritizing clarity with kindness?" And people can say, yes, no, one to five, whatever the scale is.
But it also allows us to have conversations with our peers, with our teams. We do it as part of reviews. And so it's just this common language that we can all use to make sure that, one, we have that available and hard conversations. And two, that it embodies who we are and what we do every day.
Jen Spencer (27:55):
Well, I think it's great. And I think we see and hear more organizations marching to that beat. And so I applaud you for really doing it from the ground up, and your private equity firm for inspiring it. That's great.
Christina Rice (28:11): Yeah. That was great.
Jen Spencer (28:16):
Let's go back to marketing for a second here. And I love to ask everyone to do a little bit of dreaming with me. I mean, maybe you've thought about this already, but I want you to pretend that I gave you just a blank check to spend on marketing. And I think this is funny. People are like, "Oh, easy." But it's hard. I've been asked this question about a business. Where would you spend it? I guess my first question is, I would love to know where you think you would spend it, but more importantly, I'd love to learn how you would go about deciding where to put those funds.
Christina Rice (28:54):
I think deciding wise, it would definitely be a conversation not only with our marketing team. They're close to our current strategies and what we're seeing success in and where they're seeing interest in. It would also definitely be a strategic discussion on where we're going to go as a company. Are we entering a new market that I want to blank check for? Or are we trying to go after a new TAM that would make it an easy thing?
I think just kind of in your question, in the spirit of it, of just putting a dream out there and being able to put a blank check towards something, we're a loneliness company, as you said, we were a loneliness company before COVID happened. We used to have to get into a room with executives and kind of convince them that this was something that was really important for them and their teams to focus not only their time, but also their money.
And then COVID happened. And it became a more common conversation. All of a sudden, all of us had experienced it ourselves or our loved one, but really we're category creators. There weren't companies around addressing loneliness when we were doing it. And so I still believe that that's part of what we do. And while we've made a lot of progress in that area, I think that you can probably agree PR has changed dramatically in the last five, 10 years, right?
Jen Spencer (30:26): Yeah. Yeah.
Christina Rice (30:27):
It's a way different strategy and approach than it used to be. And so for me, I would love to make a big investment in raising our profile as category creators and experts in the market, and these days that takes money. And so to me, for us as a company, as a loneliness category creator, that's what I would write my blank check to.
Jen Spencer (30:51):
Awesome. I think it sounds smart. It's great. And the backup plan is leaning into the idea of inbound marketing and really focusing on how are we driving value? How are we educating our audiences? How are we informing and letting that grow over time. Although wow, a really impressive PR campaign would be a really nice icing on that cake. I'm sure.
Christina Rice (31:22):
Yeah. I mean, again, I think it goes hand in hand. I think that's so powerful about digital and inbound market. As my EVP says, you have to have it on surround sound. And so I think the work that our team has done around digital and inbound, putting out the blogs and the articles, creating us a category and continuing to have people come in and view us, to me that is totally achieving what we're hoping for. But yeah, surround sound. That's what I want.
Jen Spencer (31:59):
Yeah. I love it. I love that way of thinking. Last question for you, Christina, as a business operator in a very fast-growing organization, more than double the size of your team in a year, if someone is listening and they're also a business operator in a high growth organization like yours, what advice do you have? What do you think is the most important thing for them to be focused on right now?
Christina Rice (32:31):
Gosh, I think for high growth, obviously you will grow. As operators, we are so focused on getting to the end of the growth. It is in our bones to do all of those things, to put down a plan, to execute upon it. We will get there. I think the thing that we need to remind ourselves to do is to pick our head up and watch it, appreciate it, check in with our people, because I know me specifically as an operator, I can completely bulldoze to the end and not even appreciate that journey.
But I think most importantly too, is the team around you, that you do it with, finding that connection, knowing that you're part of a team, not doing it on your own, that will make it fun. Otherwise, you get burnt. You got to find the joy in what you do. And so to me, that's what it is.
Jen Spencer (33:35):
I love it. That personally resonates with me having been on that journey, a former bulldozer myself. It's always right there. It's always right there at bay, right?
Christina Rice (33:50):
I mean, I feel like it's in my bones, so I imagine that's common.
Jen Spencer (33:55):
Yep. Yeah. I think it's what has made you successful, what makes you such a phenomenal asset to the Pyx Health team. So, thank you so much for joining me. If anyone who's listening wants to learn more about you, but also the work that you're doing at Pyx, where should they go?
Christina Rice (34:15):
Oh, you should definitely go to our website. It's easy. It's www.PyxHealth.com. You can learn all about us. You can learn about who we serve, and really cool data on what we've been able to accomplish and how we've changed lives. Yes, please learn more.
Jen Spencer (34:33):

Tareem (Yemen): As part of Ma’din Knowledge Hunt, Ma’din Academy commenced its Yemen expedition under chairman Sayyid Ibrahimul Khaleelul Bukhari. The team consisting of 36 members received a warm welcome at Sana International Airport, Yemen by the representatives of Dar al-Mustafa University.
The main programmes of the expedition which lasts ten days include a three-day international Islamic conference organised by Dar al- Mustafa University at Tarim, a historic town situated in the Hadhramaut Valley of South Yemen, which has many things to do with the Kerala Muslim History, Visit to historic cities, Interviews with leading Scholars and Historians and research on Indo-Yemen relations.
It is a fact that the scholars and the Ahlu Bait of the messenger of Allah (S.A) who reached from Yemen to Kerala have played a prominent role in forming the life and culture of Muslims in Kerala. About 30 families of prophet are said to have arrived at Kerala as part of Islamic propagation. The Yemen influence can still be seen in the dressing and lifestyle of Mappila Muslims in Kerala. As part of the tour, an elaborate study on this centuries-old relationship between Yemen and Kerala will be conducted at different parts of Hadhramaut. The Knowledge Hunt team will also examine the manuscripts and old documents on Kerala-Yemen relation.
Ma’din chairman Sayyid Ibrahimul Khaleelul Bukhari delivered the keynote address in the International Islamic Conference held under the leadership of Sheikh Habib Umar Bin Hafiz, the international Islamic scholar and founder and Dean of Dar al-Mustafa University.
“ We are here as the representatives of the warm relationship between Yemen and Kerala. Hadhramaut is a city of peace and tranquility. Its culture based on traditional Islam teaches to imbibe all sections of people and to live in harmony and mutual cooperation. Therefore, the people who migrated from Hadhramaut to different parts of India have contributed greatly to the people’s peaceful coexistence in the country” he said.
In the conference attended by delegates from about 50 countries in the continents of Asia, Europe, America, Africa and Australia, Dr.Abdul Hakim Azhari presented his paper. Sheikh Habib Umar Bin Hafiz, Sheikh Habib Ali Mashoor, Sheikh Habeeb Ali Jifri and Sheikh Habib Muhammed Abdurahman Assaqaf spoke. | <urn:uuid:db67dc6d-f4de-4d1b-9ce9-73c9fb8dc9a2> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://madin.edu.in/madin-knowledge-hunt-yemen-expedition-commenced/ | 2024-02-22T11:43:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473738.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222093910-20240222123910-00493.warc.gz | en | 0.942174 | 505 | [

Millen Shores Retirement Residence
MAT 4Site Engineers was retained to work within a multidisciplinary team on the design and construction of a new retirement residence and condominium development in Stoney Creek. The 10 storey development consisted of over 140 suites and over 125,000 square feet of space. MAT 4Site Engineers provided a complete mechanical design and contract administration package to the client. These mechanical services included HVAC, Plumbing and Fire Protection.
MAT 4Site Engineers worked closely with the chief architect and ensured all in-suite and out of suite equipment and plumbing fixtures are selected properly and suitably which prevented potential lost time and profit during construction. The team has also introduced energy efficient system designs and cost savings measures such as energy recovery ventilation units, high efficacy water heaters and high efficiency rooftops and gas-fired make-up air units.
Critical design requirements were taken into consideration in the design phase of this project due to the sensitive nature of the retirement residence facility. These included items such as the required fresh air flow component for each space type and water tempering stations for the domestic hot water service to protect residents for scalding.
The project consisted of many milestones and delivery stages and MAT 4Site Engineers ensured they were met and delivered upon with no delay. These included preliminary/coordination design stage, final review stage, permit/commitment to general review stage and the tender stage. MAT 4Site Engineers then provided the required contract administration services during construction and the close out services following the commissioning and verification stage.
Project services included feasibility planning, detailed engineering, contract administration and close-out. | <urn:uuid:9184225e-e81f-453b-ae9e-021aa86751ec> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://mat4site.com/gp_project/221/ | 2024-02-22T11:12:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473738.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222093910-20240222123910-00493.warc.gz | en | 0.948372 | 329 | [

After launching the application, the first two weeks usually show a loading boom. You promote it, support it, view the first few reviews in application stores, and possibly technical blogs. But the downloadable application does not necessarily start; the running application is not necessarily used at least once; In addition, a regular application has a good chance of never being used more than once.
People tend to download a lot of applications, but may soon get tired of the accumulated excess on their home screen. It is difficult to attract attention with something that constantly rolls in abundance of pages with the same structure in badoo application stores. It’s even harder to keep user attention.
Analytical tools count the number of downloads, but not deletions. This makes the boot metric even more vague, as it is constantly growing. Downloading applications will not say anything to help improve your application.
There are things that are more important than downloads
Even if the application is downloaded, it can be easily removed over a period of time. If this does not start right away, users can forget about it and simply delete it later. Actual use is important here. How much time do people spend on your application? How does this fit your own calculations? There is an average expected time that the user spends in the application, depending on his purpose, and this is what should be measured and analyzed. Such things are more valuable than a reduced number of downloads.
The application can be paid simply, which means direct income; or it can be free with another monetization model on board, say freemium. Whatever it is, if it does not bring much impression to the user, it will not be successful. | <urn:uuid:c69db776-b9a7-499f-9851-cddec1c1eb9c> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://hotelbaltpark.com/2020/03/12/why-downloading-apps-is-a-deceptive-metric/ | 2024-02-25T04:53:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474581.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240225035809-20240225065809-00493.warc.gz | en | 0.963181 | 342 | [

Love Is Blind Japan Story
“Love Is Blind” from the United States is a huge assortment of single people who need to be loved by the substance, not the appearance. Would you be able to meet a marriage accomplice you need to live with while never seeing the other individual’s face or appearance? Chat with lover competitors consistently without being disturbed by the rest of the world. Members who observed an accomplice who had a decent heart chose to get ready for marriage and met interestingly as a team. Subsequent to being locked in, he lived with him on holiday for a month, and toward the finish of that, a wedding was pausing.
The Japanese adaptation of such an offbeat reality program is at long last here. Will the couples choose to wed their life partner “blindly” or will they separate even with the real world? The program pilots will be Takashi Fujii and Yuka Itaya . The Netflix series “Love Is Blind Japan” will be only distributed worldwide in February 2022. (Ichi Shimizu).

In today’s article about algorithms, algo.monster will introduce this common search technique – binary search. It will take you about 4 minutes to finish reading this post. Enjoy the tour to this search algorithm.
So, what is it about?
Binary search is a computer science method that allows you to find an item in a sorted set. This algorithm is faster than linear search. It will look through all items in the list to find a specific item. However, it has limitations. Before using a binary search algorithm, you need to arrange the list in order. Well, it can be ascending or descending.
Binary search works by repeatedly dividing the sorted list in two, and then working on the portion of the list that might contain the item you are searching for until the final list contains just one item.
What’s binary search?
The binary search algorithm can be used to locate the position of a particular value within a sorted array. This search algorithm uses the principle of divide and conquer. However, it is very fast and requires that the data be in a sorted format. The search begins in the middle of an array and then moves down to the lower or upper halves of the sequence. If the median value is lower than the target value, the search should go higher. If not, it will need to focus on the descending part of the array.
In computer science, people can call it a logarithmic or half-interval search as well.
The Explanation of Binary Search Algorithm
Binary search is a time-saving way to find a target value among a list of ordered elements. It can cut down on search space by starting in the middle of the end of the sorted list. Also, the median value is about to divide the list into two halves, either ascending or descending.
Example: with a target value 8 and a search area 1 to 11:
The median/middle element of the number list is determined and the pointer there is set. In this instance, it is 6.
So, during the searching process, you compare the target number 8 with each element that lies in the middle. The target of 8 >6. That means 8 must be in the higher half, which is the list from 7 to 11.
The target is compared with the pointer and the value of the pointer is moved to the next one(7). Because it is smaller, the pointer moves to a higher element.
Then 8 is a perfect match for the target.
This is the idea behind this method
Binary search only required the target to be compared with three values. It would have been much easier to do a linear search. Instead of starting with the first value, the binary search would have moved up and required the target to be compared to eight. Binary searches can only be done with ordered data. If the data are randomly arranged, a linear search will yield all of the results while a binary search will likely remain in an endless loop.
Example of how binary search method works
Imagine that you had 10,000 pages in a textbook and you accidentally burnt most of the pages away. Now you have a book that has approximately 300 pages. Those burnt pages are gone completely.
Normally, if you want to read some content from a certain page, say on page 500, you would open it at the center. But as we’ve mentioned, you only had 300 pages left. So, there’s the possibility that page 500 is not available in this book anymore, right?
Well, we don’t know. It is not clear if page 500 is the original page. There are pages 1-499, 501, and 600. It is not clear if this page is the final or any other. It is only known that, if it does exist, its pages will exceed 500 and those to the left of it will be less than 500.
Which strategy is best to find the page?
You can start with the first page, say it’s page 100. Next, you can go to 105, 108.110, and then on to 255. Then, you can move on to 256 and so on. Obviously, this is not a good approach.
Try this way now:
Now, open the book from the middle page. As we’ve mentioned, there are 300 pages in this book. Thus, if the page number you open is less than 500, you know that your page will appear in the second half of the book. Or else, it must be on the left side, which is the lower side.
Either way, you can locate it from the remaining 150 pages. Well, if it’s not burnt. Now, it is clear which half of your book does not contain page 500. Let’s say if your first try is page 606, so, apparently, 500<606. Then, 500 can’t be in the right half which is above 606.
For the remaining 150 pages, you will need to repeat this process.
Try the middle page and eliminate half of the pages. So here is how many pages you need to go through: 75, 37 or 38, 18 then 9, 5, and 3, then finally 2 left.
The conclusion from the example of finding the page
So, the first method we mentioned above is actually linear search. And the second one is what we’re talking about today: binary search.
Say if page 500 is somewhere in the middle, using linear search is definitely time-consuming. However, if this page is not existing, it’s hard to tell which is better. In the best case, say it is on the first page, linear is more efficient.
Now, how about using the binary search tree?
As the name tells, a binary search tree is just like the form of a tree. In this tree, you divide the main trunk into two halves. Each of these branches then becomes two and each one into two, and so forth. However, it is not infinite so assume that the branching process will end somewhere.
Grab your book and place it at the main trunk’s branching point.
The pages with numbers below this page will be shown on the left, while pages with higher numbers will be shown on the right. Continue the same process until you search all pages.
Binary search works perfectly with sorted elements in large datasets. It improves efficiency and saves much trouble. | <urn:uuid:7d67cdfa-5e60-477d-9293-8535701390db> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://preposting.com/4-minute-tour-to-binary-search-algorithm/ | 2024-02-26T15:19:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474660.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20240226130305-20240226160305-00493.warc.gz | en | 0.9219 | 1,333 | [

A prayer from the Moderator for Remembrance Sunday
Published on 10 November 2019 46 seconds read
A prayer for Remembrance Sunday from Rt Rev Colin Sinclair, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland
Those who have been to war rarely talk about it;
Those who haven't, struggle to understand it.
In this season of Remembrance we try to bridge the gap.
Help us never to forget the horror of war of lives lost,
of people changed of physical injury,
and mental health problems of homes lost,
and cities destroyed.
Help us to give thanks
for courage in adversity
for those who went above and beyond the call of duty,
for acts of self-sacrifice, that others might live.
May we resolve to work for peace,
to build bridges, for their sake, for our sake,
for everyone's sake. | <urn:uuid:4f226e18-beef-4553-84d4-625c36e39d83> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.churchofscotland.org.uk/news-and-events/news/archive/2019/a-prayer-from-the-moderator-for-remembrance-sunday | 2024-03-03T01:43:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947476180.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20240303011622-20240303041622-00493.warc.gz | en | 0.939845 | 183 | [

Orlando Agudelo-Botero’s unselfish belief that art can be used to educate and inspire may not be unique, but he certainly defies the trends of international modernism with his willingness to share his gifts of creativity and personal philosophies.
His efforts to educate are best expressed in the series entitled Equilibrio (1995). The works convey his own perspective on life that sees the universe in a state of balance, where nature’s creations are part of the spirit of harmony. The obligation to maintain this harmony begins at a personal level, involving our physical and mental existence. When Orlando’s life is in perfect balance, he can concentrate in creating works of art that inspire others to seek balance in their own lives. We can observe the idealism in a stylized human figure centered within a golden circle, perfectly maintained, in compositionally and conceptually equilibrium. The perfection of the circle as a symbol of universal harmony, the solar radiance and the never-ending cycles of life appear often in his works. It is an object of contemplation that unites the people, the planet and the universe.
This belief in the unity of the universe, in one voice for all, is paramount in Orlando Agudelo-Botero’s personal philosophy. It is the natural spiritualism that pervades and supersedes the human-made religions of the world. In works that serenade the natural world such as Naturaleza (1988), the artist pays tribute to the beauty and bounty of nature in a style that is especially reminiscent of the batik designs created by the natives of the Pacific Islands, and undoubtedly inspired by his long-time residence in Hawaii. Using his art as a messenger to unite the people of the universe in peace, Orlando Agudelo-Botero hopes to educate, as well as inspire. Children and family are special to his efforts and to his quest for artistic and spiritual satisfaction through his gift of creativity. He feels he has a special obligation to do more with his work than please aesthetic sensitivities; aesthetics are intuitive for him and his style and technique vary constantly as he explores and masters a full range of media, always communicating his message of global understanding. In Quest (1990), a large mixed-media composition that combines abstract and multi-colored heads and figures with words, “education” and “wisdom” are translated into different languages to correspond with the multi-cultural symbolism of the subject, and his genuine and dedicated effort to bring understanding and education to everyone.
For Orlando Agudelo-Botero, education elevates common human existence to the spiritual realm of universal understanding, and it is the responsibility of each person to speak in one voice to achieve harmony, balance and peace.
Family is expressed in works that unite members of a universe of relatives, each of whom bring their own system of values and spiritual and emotional ideologies of togetherness. Combining Judeo-Christian iconography with images reminiscent of Asian philosophies and those of pre-Columbian and primitive ritual masks, Orlando Agudelo-Botero uses love as the quintessential element of bonding.
Love swirls in circular motion to hold brothers and sisters, mother and father, in its embrace in Equilibrio: Amor (1995). In Madonna Mia (1993), a mother gently cradles her child. A painting done in reverence to motherhood, the figures are surrounded by candles symbolizing enlightenment. The mother’s form is voluminous, she is Mother Earth from which all life emerges, and her face is the sweet visage of a Boticelli maiden. The sacred trust of motherhood is again revealed in La Familia VI (1990), painted in a pale blue palette highlighted with golden radiances that give spiritual force and energy to its peaceful composition. The colors are carried from the mother onto the children representing the passing of the genetic code, as well as the traditions passed from one generation to another. Although the colors and facial imagery may change in the series La Familia, the message is the same—maternal love and family togetherness bring security, happiness, education and peace throughout the world. It is the force that inspires harmony and universal equilibrium.
The energy of the force of love is particularly poignant in works that comment directly on contemporary events, especially those which occurred in his homeland of Colombia. On December 6, 1989, a bombing at the National Security Department in Bogotá was a brutal reminder of the horrors of terrorism and its innocent victims. In response to this tragic event and other appalling incidents in Colombia’s recent history, Orlando Agudelo-Botero created Santafé de Bogotá, December 6, 1989 (1989). The painting depicts the protective arm of a maternal figure as she embraces a child shielding him from violence represented by the intruding figure in red on the right. There is a feeling of foreboding in this painting. Done in the colors of the Colombian flag this powerful composition portrays the anguish Colombian mothers feel as their world is rocked by senseless violence.
The plight of the “disappeared” and abandoned children in Colombia and the well-known efforts of mothers to bring attention to their heart-wrenching predicament, inspired Desamparados (1990). The abuse and abandonment of children is a problem not only in Colombia but throughout the so-called civilized world and Orlando Agudelo-Botero confronts the tragedy of the situation with the calm beauty and poignancy of a prayer and plea to action; in homage to the mothers who continue to march quietly and mournfully as they wait for the return of their loved ones. Cradling an immobile child, the mother’s bowed demeanor confronts us as witnesses to a grim reality in which Orlando Agudelo-Botero seems to say that human warmth and bonding are the last and only chances for redemption in an existence fraught with despair.
La Familia transcends all borders, physically and emotionally, and all the styles and categories of art history. Orlando Agudelo-Botero feels free and confident to approach this time-honored subject from his own personal perspective, paying tribute to the past while inventing his own unique methods to express the present. These images of love and family, at once tender and powerful, are at the core of Orlando Agudelo-Botero’s art for that is what is at the center of his soul.
HANDMADE PAPER COMPOSITIONS
Constantly exploring new media and techniques for his personally expressive subjects, Orlando Agudelo-Botero creates handmade paper works as unique as his paintings. Using a special method of his own invention that colors the actual pulp before hand-pressing the material into paper, he is able to produce images that occupy not only the surface, but are actually part of the paper. The colors appear to “blossom” as they become one with the fibers. Details are done with threads, yarns and other objects such as bark or sheet music actually laid into the paper’s construction and edges are torn or left unfinished for an original Surface effect and all-over texture that appears to be as primitive as the images are sophisticated and elegant.
The primitive, hand-made effect enhances a particularly appropriate choice of subjects that pay tribute to ancient civilizations and traditional concepts of universal significance. The diptych, entitled Genders (1985), recalls the elegant profiles on Maya stelae while paying homage to the concepts of duality, balance and harmony that are so prevalent in Orlando Agudelo-Botero’s work. There is a sense of timelessness in their simplicity as the images retreat into the paper’s texture, much as the Maya have retreated into the isolation of the forested jungles of their homeland leaving only a shadow of memories. In Longevidad (1985), the same reverence for the simplicity of ancient markings emerges from the paper and is enhanced by the addition of gold paint which fills the creases of the face, its beauty symbolic of the wisdom of the ages that transcends the physical.
The creativity he exhibits in his handmade paper works, and in all of his art, is inspired by the music that accompanies him throughout the day. With classical overtures lending an air of enchantment to his studio surroundings, Orlando Agudelo-Botero conducts his artistic compositions with the energy of a Maestro. Music motivates the creation of numerous complex abstractions. In Composition in C Minor (1985), Orlando has recreated a row of musicians as if the viewer is catching a glimpse of a section of a symphony. One figure, his arm outstretched, has his hand poised above a keyboard which winds lyrically across the paper. The second figure, seen as a dark profile has a violin perched beneath his chin. Here, Orlando shows his mastery of this medium. The brown of the violin is created with tinted pulp and is thus, a part of the sheet. In like fashion, Orlando has inlaid long fibers to represent the strings of the violin, just as he has placed a page of sheet music into the wet pulp. The name of J. S. Bach on the sheet music gives us a clue to the inspiration of this piece.
The mystical veneration of music and art as intimate associations within the creative process has long inspired painters and was a key element in the rationalization of abstractionism in the early years of this century. Music has a special influence on Orlando Agudelo-Botero who feels deeply that its rhythms and counterpoint harmonies can be translated directly into gradations of color and value; its repetitions and changes of mood and motif into compositional varieties. He uses music to give visual ambiance to his subjects and to contribute to their expressive powers and music’s very complexity greatly enhances the creativity behind the handmade paper composition. Their combination of technical originality and rhythmic design contribute a new facet to his artistic repertoire
RELIGIOUS AND SPIRITUAL WORKS
A quest for archetypal imagery and a desire to create ritual objects that transcend the secular limits of modernism and aesthetic commercialism inspire Orlando Agudelo-Botero to venture into the creation of spiritual works of art. Bridging the gap between the past and the present with paintings that range from those containing obvious religious references to those with the subtle communicative power of universal spirituality, he fearlessly and emotionally professes his own faith. The belief that there is the power of God within each of us which transcends formal religion and carries with it an obligation of love for all humanity inspires him to carry the full burden of religious meaning within the limits of every compositional arrangement.
In his religious and spiritual works, this obligation to explore the infinite reaches of doctrine and symbol that had determined the ritual images of the past is realized through the venerated materials of gold and silver and allusions to the iconography of the Christian and non-Christian worlds. Highlighted by the form of the cross, these works include numerous references to his Catholic upbringing and the Pre-Columbian heritage of the land of his birth, as well as Asian philosophies and mystical allusions to the mysterious idols and symbols present in the images of worship throughout the world, past and present.
The series of high multi-media assemblages on paper entitled Las Cruces, begun in 1987, continues to be part of his artistic repertoire today as new materials and new images appropriate to his present reality inspire their inclusion. Rising like a benediction above the ruins of society’s materialism, the crosses assume different surfaces with the addition of metals, jewels, ordinary objects and letters on varietally textured papers. With the hand and brush of the artist ever present as a distinguishing element that bring the crosses into the rightful realm of human intervention, the works are as provocative as they are beautiful; as elegant as they are rough.
The blessings of a Higher Power in Bendición (1994), extend above the figure of the praying religious to be illuminated in the blue and white light of spiritual inspiration where remnants of ritual artifacts from other cultures glisten in golden splendor. With the deepest respect for their spiritual efficacy and mysterious countenance, Orlando Agudelo-Botero often pays tribute to the unknown rites of people throughout the world who rely on the mask as a key element of spiritual communication. Its commanding presence resides behind the masked countenance of the huge Maestro triptych of 1990 that seems to be a summation of the artist’s religious beliefs. The conductor of the mysterious forces of the universe, the maestro holds the white dove of peace in his embrace as two angels, one black, one white kneel in veneration.
Angels and madonnas are favorite subjects of his spiritual works. The Angel of January, Enero (1990), is one of the images that Orlando Agudelo-Botero creates as a New Year’s offering to his creative spirit every year. It is a guardian angel, a communicator to the heavenly realm, a creature as lovely as it is enigmatic and worshipped throughout the ages. Its winged presence keeps watch over believers and non-believers alike, leads the prayers of children and guides the energies of earthly existence, now and forever. Historia (1992) depicts a stylized, faceless angel moving diagonally across a canvas against a background of human faces, carved in high relief, not unlike primitive stone carvings. The painting illustrates the presence of religion (the faceless angel representing all religions) in the lives of countless people throughout history.
In The Blessed Ones (1996), the latest work of the maestro to be included in this book, Orlando turns his attention to nature and the environment. From a body of work entitled The Nobility of the Trees, this particular piece depicts an ethereal figure in gold gently caressing the top of a tree. In the top portion of the painting the trees are etched in chiaroscuro with charcoal over a gray, wintery background. Below the trees are sprouting foliage and the sky is a spring-like blue. Drawn very subtly into the branches of the trees are faces, human faces. Here Orlando is showing concern for the environment and elevating the importance of nature. In The Blessed Ones, he is telling us that together, man and nature share this planet and that God has also blessed the trees.
For an artist who is very much a part of a contemporary society, this attention to religious subjects defies the trends of modernism. Relying on his own spiritual beliefs and intuitive artistic gifts, Orlando Agudelo-Botero creates the time-honored icons of yesterday with the assurance and confidence of today.
Emotions are defined as any strong feelings, such as joy, hate, sorrow, reverence or love arising out of the subjective subconscious. For an artist who bases his work on expressive and personal responses to the world around him, and uses art to affect responses in others, emotions themselves can be the subjects of paintings. Orlando Agudelo-Botero imparts an emotional character to everything he creates and uses his art as a vehicle to personally address moving and fervent situations, and to inspire others to respond as well. Particularly important to his philosophy about art is the idea of duality — every one of us has a dual nature affected by and interpreted as good and evil, dark and light, positive and negative, yin and yang, etc. We have an emotional side that is intuitive and subjective and a logical side that is objective and analytical. For Orlando Agudelo-Botero, the control of both by the artist is essential to productive creativity. This realization is the source of inspiration in The Artistic Embrace (1986), a small early painting that reverberates with the energy of the love for his craft and the sense of responsibility he feels to fulfill the demands of such a gift by producing art to the fullest of his potential. It is with the multi-media painting on paper Triunfo (1988) that this message of self-realization takes full shape. This large scale piece is a particularly bold work articulating the artist’s exaltation after receiving the White House Hispanic Heritage Award for the Visual Arts in 1988. Following a Rose Garden reception with President Reagan the medal was placed around his neck by Katherine Ortega, Treasurer of the United States. Orlando has recaptured the feeling at that moment…a medallion with a large heart hangs from his neck, his arms crossed in front of him in a loving embrace as he gazes downward in humility. It was following the receipt of this honor that he embarked on a journey of exploration and rededication to create paintings that could communicate his message of universal peace and emotional understanding. Triunfo (1988), is a work charged with the positive energy of happiness and accomplishment. The same jubilance and palette is displayed in Jubilo of the same year and it is this positive energy and direction that inspired the project series entitled Luz which encourages education through art and allowed him to expand his artistic journey by designing an outreach program for children that accompanied the Luz exhibition to Texas, Florida and New York, including the Fine Art Museum of Long Island.
The concept of balance between the dual anchors of human existence that includes education as a vital force and responsibility is constantly present in his paintings. Orlando Agudelo-Botero believes strongly in working for others, providing for others and giving-before-taking as critical aspects of his personal development. Duality, again is the theme of Emoción y Lógica (1988), a mirror-image diptych of eloquent simplicity featuring two profiles that appear to bleed into the surface texture of the paper like an ink-blot test and complement each other despite their differences. In Dueto (1987), humanity’s dual nature is reduced to a minimal form in blue and silver that has unique confrontational power. This is a persistent theme in the maestro’s oeuvre.
The emphasis on subject sensibility, emotion and imagination, as opposed to reason, is based on a profound feeling for the world of both man and nature and all that it represents beyond the merely physical. For Orlando Agudelo-Botero, this feeling affects all of his art.

When Chris told me that I could write for koreanindie.com, I was half excited (I don’t think it would be necessary to explain this one) and half self-suspicious. What could I possibly write about my life as a musician? To meet everybody’s expectations on a stereotypical student in Paris, I’ll have to begin with a question like “Am I a musician, already?”
Yes, I’m an electronic musician. I have released an album and another EP with my name printed on, and a few scores for films too. But I rarely do gigs (I’m not a big fan of my gigs, I’ll have to confess.) and I’m staying far away from Korean indie scene. Moreover, my present major occupation seems to be writing articles, especially on K-Pop but not authentic nor serious music. Somebody claiming to be my fan even asked me “Are you quitting your music? Are you a musician or an Idol specialist?” I had to answer, to my excitement, “I don’t know. Ask someone else.” I didn’t (and still don’t) mean to be mean, but for quite a time that has been one of my question to self, along with “where the hell (or which hell) my life is heading to?”
All of this confusion came from the moment that Cha Woojin encouraged me to write for weiv, the webzine for which he is the chief editor. If you ask me why he told me to write, a few things come to mind. There weren’t many Korean critics interested in dance music, I was used to analytic listening (as a musician), amd Cha was kind enough.
At first I hesitated. Until then I was a musician-blogger, how simple was that? Trying to call myself a music critic might have caused me many problems. For instance, if I criticize some music, I might ask myself if mine is better. As civilized we all are, we know that this question isn’t really fair. Still, as a musician myself, (and I should add here that I’m quite a jealous one when it comes to talents, yes, it’s true.) I just can’t help asking myself that. It’s just stronger than me. Of course, I’d never – in my best condition, that is – curse somebody for being better than me, and especially not in the form of music critic. But I had to wonder for a long time if I was really capable of writing about others’ music.
Finally I came up with a pretentious excuse: I’ll write, but only about good music. I see some people giggle from their experiences. Yes, it didn’t take long before I write bad things about some music that I found bad. I still focus on finding something good in the music about which I write, but easily I had urges to write bad too. Somewhere in my head I knew this from the beginning. Then why couldn’t I simply choose not to write?
My question was rather, “Why shouldn’t I?” We often say that a musician had better saying with music, and that’s often why musicians try not to write. I strongly and easily reject that. There are things that can’t be told with music if only you refuse to be superstitious. I mean, as if doctors and students could tell something with their charts and their year end notes? Plus, some things are more efficient to be told with words, again, even if you’re a musician. Then one thing led to another, and now I listen to more than 20 new K-Pop releases every month, in order to write I-don’t-know-how-many short or long articles on my webzine “Idology.” Again, where the hell my life is heading to ?
As I look back, actually I hardly dreamed being a musician, ever since I have learned that I’m not really a rock star material. But one day, it just came to my mind that almost all musicians in history had second jobs. By second job, I mean all kinds of activities other than your own music, and that includes giving private lessons, recording or mixing for others, or even teaching at universities. That’s depressing, but promising too. They all do (except Michael Jackson), so why not me ? It’s only natural. I can be a musician, as long as I do something else, which might pay me some real money that music probably doesn’t. (Of course, it would be great that music pays me too.) It’s healthier than being a full time musician without anything to keep whining about and cursing music industry, only to quit it one day.
So, I became a musician. Then came the opportunity to write. So, a music critic could be one of my side job, along with a researcher in music (which is why I’m studying in France). Then… you’re right, those ought to be able to pay me. And researching/writing for real money? This is stupid. If you choose this way for real money, it’s worse than stupid. So basically I’m, at least, stupid. Again, which hell my life is heading to? | <urn:uuid:b59936df-1911-40ef-a277-f653f2115ecd> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://www.koreanindie.com/2014/04/21/being-a-musiciancritic/ | 2024-03-01T11:38:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947475238.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240301093751-20240301123751-00593.warc.gz | en | 0.977172 | 1,143 | [

The Nigerian Senate has said that the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act 2020 (BOFI ACT) assented by President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to rejuvenate the financial system and enhance the development of the economy.
The Senate said the enactment of the BOFI Act follows many other Bills passed by the legislatures on critical areas for the economy which are relevant to the Nation’s development.
Speaking on the enactment, the media Committee Chairman of the Senate Dr Ajibola Basiru, said the assent has effectively repealed the 1991 edition and it is expected to rejuvenate the financial system and enhance the development of the economy.
” The work which has gone into the passage of this bill, like some previously assented to by Mr President, underscores the determination of the 9th Assembly to focus on the path of economic growth and development of our country.
“By this law, banks and financial institutions will be able to offer productive sectors of the economy, quality banking and financial services as well as ensure recovery of nonperforming loans.
Some of the bills which have been passed by Senate which are of direct relevance to the resuscitation of the national economy are the Petroleum Profit Tax Act; CAMA Act: Finance Act; Police Act; Deep Offshore and Profit Sharing Contract Act, to mention but a few.
Senator Basiru, however, added that the Senate under the leadership of Senate President, Dr Ahmed Lawan “is resolved to work tirelessly and turn around our moribund laws to ensuring that they are vibrant and are in consonance with modern-day economic reality”.
The News Chronicle had on Friday, reported that Buhari has signed the bill into law. | <urn:uuid:b95f1faa-5e45-4cba-b9a7-7b878194d9ab> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://thenews-chronicle.com/senate-reacts-to-buharis-assent-to-banks-and-other-financial-institutions-act-2020/ | 2024-02-22T17:46:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473824.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20240222161802-20240222191802-00693.warc.gz | en | 0.966991 | 346 | [

The basketball courts at Walker Park are getting a makeover this week.
Local artist Jeremy Navarrette is painting a new mural on the recently resurfaced courts as part of a project sponsored by Walmart and the AND1 street basketball brand.
The footwear and apparel company has recently been refurbishing public courts across the country as part of its “Paint the Park” initiative.
Navarrette was selected to design the Fayetteville mural about year after completing a mural for the city on the south end of the retaining wall along Nelson Hackett Boulevard.
The City Council in May voted 7-1 to approve the basketball court project. Former council member Sonia Harvey voted against and said she was worried the mural would be seen more as an advertisement for AND1 rather than public art, considering the designs have all included brand recognition.
Navarrette presented some preliminary designs to the Fayetteville Arts Council earlier this month, but was asked to reduce the size of the AND1 logo by member Bob Stafford, who was one of three people to advocate for the project during public comment at the May 2 City Council meeting.
Stafford said he argued against Harvey’s suggestion that the mural would be an advertisement, but the preliminary designs he saw did indeed look more like brand promotion.
Navarrette revised his work and the committee on Wednesday saw three new finalists for the design, all which included smaller AND1 logos moved to the bottom corner. The designs were all similar, with a basketball player surrounded by fall-colored foliage and hills.
One option included a depiction of Old Main, but that design was ruled out after Joanna Bell, the city’s arts and culture director, said the university would not allow the use of its imagery in the mural.
The committee approved the final design, which features the words “Born to Ball” in graffiti-style lettering across the sky above the basketball player.
Outlining work began on Friday and as of Monday morning, Navarrette had begun painting the blue sky and clouds.
A small ribbon-cutting is planned for Friday, followed by a community unveiling celebration at the courts from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug 5 that includes a giveaway of 1,000 pair of shoes for students in kindergarten through 6th grade, as well as 1,000 basketballs on a first come, first serve basis. A spokesperson from AND1 said attendees can also expect food, drinks, a DJ, a skills and drills clinic and appearances from AND1 legends Rafer “Skip 2 My Lou” Alston and Shane “The Dribble Machine” Woney. | <urn:uuid:dfdfbebe-0fcd-48b0-815a-0fc43d47deb2> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://fayettevilleflyer.com/2023/07/31/mural-work-begins-at-walker-park-basketball-courts/ | 2024-02-26T20:27:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474663.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20240226194006-20240226224006-00693.warc.gz | en | 0.979783 | 545 | [

Canadian actress Cobie Smulders got her first big role when she was still a teenager on the show Veritas: The Quest, but her breakout role was as Robin Scherbatsky in How I Met Your Mother. That character allowed her to show all her comedic acting talents while keeping her working for almost a decade. When she wasn’t shooting the sitcom, she became Maria Hill in the MCU and did some small, interesting, indie films.
In the last few years, the actress has gotten steady work, voicing characters, and going back to the medium that has always loved her, TV, proving she can be a great lead (Stumptown), but doesn’t mind being a supporting character either (High School). After probably ending her MCU career in Secret Invasion, she’s already working on a couple of movies, which, as always, will show how funny, raw, dramatic, and empathic Smulders can be. For now, here are Cobie Smulders’ 10 best performances, ranked.
10 The LEGO Movie (2014)
The Lego Movie is all about Emmet (Chris Pratt), a normal LEGO guy who surprisingly is branded as “special” and must save the LEGO universe from Lord Business (Will Ferrell) with the help of many other Lego characters.
A Memorable Wonder Woman
Some are still hoping the franchise will come back, and if that were the case, Smulders would reprise her role as Wonder Woman in it. Although it’s not the biggest of performances, the actress uses her voice talent to make the superhero sound fierce, smart, and loyal, making for a great complement to the real-life version played by Gal Gadot.
9 Alright Now (2018)
Also known as Songbird, Alright Now is about Joanne Sky (Smulders), a once-upon-a-time promising indie musician who never really made it, and has decided to leave that life behind and enroll in college to become a marine biologist.
Smulders Plays a Fun and Unique Character
The film was shot in less than a week and was vastly improvised, and yet Smulders still holds the character and story together, creating a unique, fun character that’s not like anyone she’s played before. The actress has said she would love to revisit the character, as it was a fun one, and it shows, as every moment on screen looks like Smulders is having the time of her life.
8 Friends from College (2017-2019)
Friends from College tells the story of a group of Harvard friends in their 40s who had become buddies during their college years. After they all reconnect, they discover that, sometimes, they still behave like they did back then.
A Fragile Character
There have been some great shows set in college, but not many are about those friendships decades later. Here, Smulders plays Lisa, the wife of writer Ethan (Keegan-Michael Key), as they have some marital problems, especially because he’s having an affair with another member of the friend group. The actress plays Lisa with some sarcasm but more fragility than it looks at first sight, as she unconsciously feels like her marriage might be on thin ice.
7 Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (2016)
Jack Reacher: Never Go Back was the sequel to the Tom Cruise-led Jack Reacher franchise. This time, Reacher wants to help Major Susan Turner (Smulders), who has been accused of a crime she hasn’t committed and is going to be judged for treason.
Smulders Goes Toe-to-Toe with Tom Cruise
Smulders shines as the military woman whose future is in the hands of Reacher. She’s smart, has a playful, intelligent chemistry with Cruise, and shows that she can handle action with the best of them. Even if she’s a supporting player, the actress is able to flesh out the character and create a 360 person with her own dreams, and motivations.
6 Safe Haven (2013)
- Release Date
- February 7, 2013
Safe Haven is an adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks book and tells the story of Katie (Julianne Hough), a woman with a troubling past and many secrets, who moves to North Carolina, and there falls in love with a widower named Alex (Josh Duhamel). When things are going great, her violent husband shows up looking for her.
An Underrated Supporting Role
Smulders has a supporting role as the friend Katie makes in the new town, as they’re neighbors. She plays the loving character who is always trying to help Katie, creating someone you would love to have by your side. The film has a surprising twist at the end, that explains what the characters’ motivations are, and Smulders’s performance works perfectly with it.
5 Stumptown (2019-2020)
Adapted from a comic of the same name, Stumptown is the story of Dex Parios, a military veteran with PTSD who becomes a private investigator in Portland, Oregon, so she can pay her gambling debts while living with her younger brother.
Stumptown Offers a Multi-Layered Role for Smulders
As the lead, Smulders was both a sarcastic, smart, and boozy detective, but also shows she’s still broken by what happened in the military and a tragic incident in her past with what looked like the love of her life. The actress can show all those sides and switch between them with ease, while also having a playful chemistry with both Jake Johnson and Michael Ealy. Surprisingly, this TV series also has one of the first Monica Barbaro great performances.
4 The Avengers (2012)
When Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and a band of Aliens try to invade New York, only the mightiest heroes on Earth can save the planet. That’s if they learn to work together and can become The Avengers.
Helping to Assemble The Avengers
This was Smulders’ first appearance as Maria Hill, and it might still be her best. As Nick Fury’s right-hand woman, the actress (and character) is important to the plot, proves she’s hardcore, has some sarcastic quips, and shows time and time again why she’s one of the most important members of S.H.I.E.L.D. The actress has kept playing the character on and off for 10 years, and she’s always a great presence in the movies, even if sometimes she’s only there to move the plot along or share some important piece of information.
3 The Intervention (2016)
A group of friends meets at the summer home of one of them, to share some time together, or at least that is what Ruby (Smulders) and Peter (Vincent Piazza) think before they discover this is an intervention for their marriage. That’s the story of The Intervention.
Smulders Filmed with a Broken Leg
Directed by Clea Duvall, the whole cast is great in this pseudo-version of The Big Chill, where every character is allowed to be as playful as possible. Smulders plays the dotting wife of a career-obsessed man, and she knows how to play that note very well, while also showing how hurt she is underneath. The actress broke her leg days before filming started, and Duvall decided to incorporate it into the plot.
2 Unexpected (2015)
Unexpected is about Samantha (Smulders), a high school teacher who finds out that she’s pregnant, and the same happens to Jasmine (Gail Bean), one of her best students. Those strange circumstances bond the two ladies, as they share everything good and bad about the pregnancies.
Pregnany While Filming
This is a sweet film that allowed Smulders to show a more vulnerable and raw part of her acting, as she’s just as lost and scared of everything that’s happening to her, as her student. The film is small, and simple, yet very real and makes audiences feel good. Smulders went pure method here, as she was really pregnant when shooting the movie and there were no baby bump prosthetics needed.
1 How I Met Your Mother (2005-20014)
How I Met Your Mother tells the story of five friends in New York while they’re living in their 20s and early 30s. The lead, Ted (Josh Radnor), is remembering their adventures and telling his kids how he, eventually, met their mother.
Cobie Smulders’ Best Performance
Smulders starts the show as the entry point for the audience, as she’s new in the city and in the group, and her character becomes the lead’s romantic interest for most of the show. The TV series had some great episodes that allowed Smulders to show all of her acting talents, be it singing and dancing, physical comedy, romantic chemistry, and heart, as her character started as a young journalist who was only thinking about her career and ended as someone who was in love, and wanted to get married in white, while still having a great professional job. | <urn:uuid:6b58ee8e-427f-4291-b938-b9ce3e20362d> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://newyorkverified.com/cobie-smulders-best-performances/ | 2024-02-29T14:17:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947474843.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20240229134901-20240229164901-00693.warc.gz | en | 0.973289 | 1,942 | [

2022 Oregon Pinot Noir
100% Pinot Noir
La Belle Promenade, Chehalem Mountain, Willamette Valley, Oregon
Produced + Bottled by Las Jaras Wines, Sebastopol, CA
Label Art by Alex Goose
We have been making Pinot Noir from the La Belle Promenade Vineyard in Oregon since 2018. It is a unique site at high elevation on a southwestern facing slope along the bucolic hills of the Chehalem Mountains. The vineyard is dry farmed organically and is planted to Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner and Mondeuse Noir. Although appellation rules do not allow us to label this bottle with its specific provenance of Chehalem Mountains AVA (this is because we trucked the grapes from Oregon back to our winery in California), this wine is a pure expression of the La Belle Promenade Vineyard. The 2022 vintage in Oregon was one we had the luxury of waiting till the grapes were in the perfect zone for us to harvest. Since the vineyard is so far away, we rely on the experience and expertise of our dear friend Grant Coulter who manages the vineyard and makes wine for both Flaneur and his own Hundred Suns wineries. Our picking window is on the lower end of the ripening scale because we would like to achieve a wine that has tension and tautness.
As always, this wine turned out quite stunning. There is such a classic Burgundian vibe but in more of a Volnay vein this vintage than the typical fatter Pommard expression we usually find. The 2022 La Belle Promenade Pinot Noir opens up with a nose of damp earth, cola, kirsch, and raspberry. The palate is bright in the attack with mineral layers and flavors of black cherry, plum and wild strawberry. It is elegant and lifted with a finish showing the very vine tannins tannins and fresh acidity. There is a very long finish of cocoa powder and bright minerality with incredible length. This is a perfect wine for sushi, grilled trout, or other lighter fare.
La Belle Promenade is farmed organically with high precision and high density, and without irrigation. The vineyard sits 820 feet above sea level. The soils are the volcanic Jory and Nekia series. This wine is made from two blocks: one-third is clone 115 and the remaining two-thirds, which comes from the Orchestra Block, is planted to a random mix of clones.
To prepare the grapes for their 600-plus-mile journey from Oregon to our winery in Sebastopol, California, we had to get our vented, quarter-ton macrobins up to the vineyard. Once the grapes were harvested, they began their journey back to Sonoma County on a semi-truck with a refer unit set to 40F. The fruit was pretty clean, despite the growing conditions.
The grapes from the Orchestra Block were destemmed and dumped into the tank. The grapes from the clone 115 block were destemmed with 20% of the bins left as whole clusters. We added no SO2 to the tanks because the fruit was very clean. The wines fermented naturally at cool temperatures with very gentle cap movements. At dryness, we drained the tanks and transferred the free-run wines to new and used large-format, 228 and 270 liter barrels. (The press wines were aged separately and sold on the bulk market). The core of the blend’s wines continued to age on their lees until one month before bottling (14 months after harvest), when they were racked clean and returned to barrel. Before bottling, we racked the wine clean again, and we were able to bottle without fining or filtration.

Just when you have finally been able to identify your skin type, as well as the necessary skincare products to meet the specific needs of your skin, you begin to notice visible changes in texture, complexion, and sensitivity that were not observed before. But once we know our skin type, is it set for life or can it deviate from its current path over time?
Is it possible to change your skin type?
Can we expect a change in our skin type over time?
Strictly speaking, your skin type is unique and cannot be intrinsically changed. Permanent, it has been assigned to you by genetics. However, even if your skin type cannot physically change, it can undergo major or minor changes, whether you want it to or not. The skin is an organ that constantly reacts and adapts, while trying to maintain a certain balance. However, there are several factors that can influence your skin type and contribute to its evolution.
Seasonal Changes: Although most skin types will remain the same across seasons, it is possible that certain parameters may intensify depending on the weather conditions and the methods used to combat these climatic variations (heating, air conditioning, hot showers, etc.). Temporary but uncontrollable, the skin must adapt to its new environment. For instance, winters can make dry skin even drier, flaky, dull, and more irritated than usual, pimples more inflamed, and exacerbate certain skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, etc.), whereas summers with high temperatures can make oily skin even oilier than normal, increase breakouts and skin flare-ups due to excessive sweating, and cause pigmentation spots with sun exposure.
Environment/Lifestyle: air pollution, stress, cigarette smoke, frequent and excessive alcohol consumption, sun, acute or chronic insomnia... are all recognised factors that affect the state of the skin and give it certain visible attributes. For instance, stress has been blamed for making the skin dull, oily, and more sensitive. Excessivealcohol consumption can also have various effects on the appearance of the skin. Alcohol is known to cause dehydration, leading to redness, a decrease in elasticity, a greyish complexion, and dry skin. Insufficient sleep can result in dull, dry skin, wrinkles, and dark circles under the eyes, in addition to exacerbating existing conditions such as acne or rosacea.
Dietary habits: what you consume on a daily basis can also cause your skin to react in various ways and deteriorate its appearance. Processed sugars, dairy products, saturated fats... certain foods can trigger acne outbreaks, promote skin inflammation or even accelerate skin ageing. Similarly, not drinking enough water can lead to dehydrated skin with sometimes the presence of dry skin patches, skin that is less elastic than usual, as well as the appearance of more visible fine lines on the skin or a dull complexion.
Hormones : puberty, pregnancy, menopause... throughout life, we may experience numerous hormonal upheavals, thereby disrupting sebum production. Cortisol, adrenal androgens, insulin, oestrogen... hormones can have a radical effect on the skin since they can impact the quantity or quality of the sebum produced. For instance, women who have their periods every month are subject to hormonal fluctuations that can lead to skin changes, although this period is brief. Similarly, puberty can make the skin oilier with the appearance of skin eruptions, while menopause is associated with dehydrated and wrinkled skin. During pregnancy, generalised hyperpigmentation (melasma) and blemishes can be observed.
Use of incorrect cosmetic products: the use of unsuitable products can have detrimental effects on the skin. Indeed, a poor skincare routine can disrupt the skin's pH balance, clog pores, and trigger an allergic reaction. If you have oily skin and you use products that dry out your skin, this will result in an excess of sebum to compensate for the loss, leading to enlarged pores. The same concept applies to someone with dry skin.
Ageing : as you age, your skin may change due to all the biological changes it undergoes, characterised by the accumulation of macromolecular damage within cells and a decrease in the regenerative capacity of stem cells. For instance, the pH gradually increases, which leads to an increased susceptibility to infections, reduced resistance to mechanical stress, and diminished wound healing. The skin also loses its natural hydration due to the sebaceous glands producing less sebum, risking the onset of dry, wrinkled, and sagging appearance.
Consequently, a reassessment and adjustments to your skincare routine from time to time may be considered if you notice that your skin is changing and is different than usual. Indeed, because what works for dry skin can sometimes exacerbate oily skin, and vice versa. | <urn:uuid:1dd975d7-7435-4172-a4ad-d1d7066c5e28> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://uk.typology.com/library/is-it-possible-to-change-your-skin-type | 2024-03-02T00:08:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947475711.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20240301225031-20240302015031-00693.warc.gz | en | 0.934135 | 990 | [

led by Giga Bokeria and Levan Bezhashvili. The media is deprived of the possibility to work and some of the provocateurs started to throw stones at the journalists. I would like to ask the representatives of the respective organs to strictly prevent any kind of physical violence."FactCheck
checked the accuracy of the statement.
On 22 May 2016 individuals, who later were identified as sportsmen and representatives of the Georgian Dream party, gathered at precinct N53 in the village of Kortskheli and physically assaulted members of the United National Movement, including Giga Bokeria, Tengiz Gunava, Akaki Minashvili and Nika Melia. According to the information of the representatives of the opposition, the Government of Georgia mobilised selected individuals in advance in order to create unrest and transported them with this aim from Tbilisi to the Municipality of Zugdidi. Of note is that the group of sportsmen who came to Zugdidi from Tbilisi were observed by TV cameras in the Zugdidi Botanical Garden before the start of the elections. As stated by the sportsmen themselves, they had come to Zugdidi for the purpose of tourism. However, they later moved to the polling station and physically assaulted their opponents.
Of mention is that at the end of his statement, Kakha Kaladze underlined that a new statement would be delivered within a short amount of time with the public getting detailed information (with pictures) about the specific sonders. Indeed, after some time, Mamuka Mdinaradze, a member of the Georgian Dream’s political council and a new face of the party, stated that representatives of Zaza Kedelashvili’s sondercommandos, on the orders of Giga Bokeria, had physically assaulted Georgian Dream member sportsmen who were at the polling station and disrupted the work of the journalists, all of which caused the unrest.
The individuals who were accused by Mamuka Mdinaradze of being sonders denied the allegation and stated that they were in Tbilisi when the incident in Kortskheli was taking place. Later, Mr Mdinaradze changed his initial version and said that there were some other sonders in the Municipality of Zugdidi instead of the individuals he previously named. However, he did not present any factual evidence to prove his statement. The Executive Secretary of the Georgian Dream, Irakli Kobakhidze, also put the blame on Giga Bokeria for provoking the violence. Mr Kobakhidze stated that the mobilisation of the sportsmen in Kortskheli was done for preventive purposes because there was a danger of the opposition intimidating voters. Additionally, Mr Kobakhidze stated that the United National Movement had deployed a 15-man strong sonder squad, armed with baseball bats, near the polling station.FactCheck addressed the Ministry of Internal Affairs with a letter inquiring about whether or not there was any type of legal response in regard to the accusations made by Kakha Kaladze and other representatives of the ruling party about members of the opposition committing criminal offences. If the information of the Government of Georgia in regard to the aforementioned incident is proven to be true, then this presumably points to the occurrence of a crime which, naturally, should not be left beyond the attention of law enforcement agencies. Of additional interest is why the police did not take any preventive measures to avoid the incident if representatives of the government had information about a forthcoming provocation as confirmed by the statement of Irakli Kobakhidze. FactCheck
attempted multiple times to contact the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in order to obtain more precise information but they never responded to our telephone calls.
Representatives of various political parties and non-governmental organisations have condemned the physical incident at the polling station. They are demanding a swift investigation of the incident and believe that an insufficient police force was the reason why preventive measures were not taken. As reported by a representative of Transparency International Georgia, the sportsmen who were gathered at the polling station physically assaulted not only politicians, but citizens and media representatives, including TV Odishi’s camera crew who were hit with bottles and stones.
The Republican Party of Georgia assessed Kakha Kaladze’s statement as cynical and unbelievable. Levan Berdzenishvili called the statements of the Georgian Dream representatives a step taken against the country. The Free Democrats have nearly the same position. Zaza Kedelashvili himself asserts that the allegations about his involvement in the Kortskheli incident are groundless and accuses representatives of the Parliamentary Majority of libel.
The fact that the village of Kortskheli was one of the two places where the United National Movement won the municipal by-elections also needs to be taken into account. Allegations made by representatives of the government that the opposition was trying to disrupt the elections because of a possible defeat do not sound convincing.
Similar events unfolded on 28 January 2016 at the municipal by-elections in the Gardabani district where some unidentified individuals verbally and physically assaulted United National Movement representatives. Irakli Kobakhidze blamed representatives of the opposition for organising the provocations at that time as well.
An investigation about the incident in the village of Kortskheli was launched on the basis of Article 125 of the Criminal Code of Georgia; namely, assault. The sportsmen involved in the incident have voluntarily shown up for testimony. Meanwhile, their supporters organised a protest demonstration in front of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Before that, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Giorgi Mghebrishvili, stated that his Ministry would address the court in the nearest future with the request to arrest the individuals identified in the incident. So far, no one has been brought to justice.
The assessments made by the Deputy Prime Minister, Kakha Kaladze, and other representatives of the ruling party in which they accuse the leaders and other representatives of the United National Movement of committing criminal offences remain without due legal reaction. If the statement of the Deputy Prime Minister were true, then the respective organs should take interest in politicians accused of violence and the so-called sonders named by Mamuka Mdinaradze. According to the latest information, not a single one of the aforementioned individuals mentioned has been summoned for testimony.
The Georgian Dream party asserted that the opposition fuelled the unrest because the Georgian Dream party candidate was winning by a landslide but this is not true. A member of the United National Movement won the elections in the village of Kortskheli. It is also false to blame members of the opposition for hampering the media from carrying out its functions because TV footage and the information of Transparency International Georgia indicate that stones and bottles were thrown at the journalists by the pro-government sportsmen. The opposition believes that Kakha Kaladze should be held responsible as the organiser of the incident.FactCheck concludes that Kakha Kaladze’s statement is a LIE.

My father was a music pastor.
I am biased, certainly, but my guess is that anyone who encountered my Pops in this role would affirm that he was one of the most effective worship pastors they’ve known.
He did a masterful job planning each service. It was a gift, and this offering was even more effective because none of it was about him. He did lead, but almost universally shied away from soloing. He invited others to do so, and cultivated their gifts by offering them opportunities and praise along the way.
I was spoiled by his craft. He always chose the proper mixture between songs of repentance and rejoicing. He recognized the need for this balance between awe and humility on the one hand, and gratitude and praise on the other, and strove to make this path available for parishioners every service.
In my journey I have visited and participated in almost every type of denomination. I am a wanderer by nature, and I enjoy learning new things and meeting interesting people, gleaning from them crumbs of wisdom that I would have never known otherwise.
Along the way, I encountered several churches that are heavy on the praise and proclamation and short on the repentance, and this struck me as wrong, irreverent even.
My personality is melancholy, so some of this is personal preference. I remember leading a few services at a small Baptist church in Shawnee, OK when I was in college. Eventually, the pastor told me my services would no longer be needed, because I was heavy on songs of repentance. I thought repentance is the first step to joy, and it is, but he told me his people needed more uplifting music. (If only I could go talk to my younger self 😊)
My journey eventually brought me to the Orthodox Church, where we sing “Lord, have mercy!” more than any other phrase. This is our motto, and it is my favorite prayer, because it is truly all-encompassing. The fuller version of this – the Jesus Prayer – is “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Everything is there – theology, praise, love, repentance, hope.
We also have several multi-week periods devoted to prayer and fasting, repentance, with constant prayer services devoted to the wretched state of our souls and a meditation on our deep need for salvation. It suits my personality, all this focus on repentance, but like with my father’s planning, there is balance, too.
Among the things I’ve learned is the Prayer of the Hours that I’ve made a part of my daily rule. During the middle section of the intercession there is this-
… guide our lives according to your commandments: make holy our souls, cleanse our bodies, correct our thoughts, purify our intentions and deliver us from every sorrow, evil and pain…
So, I say this prayer almost daily, and for years now, the sort of cynical part of me agrees with all the parts about cleansing and correcting, but “deliver us from every sorrow, evil and pain?” That sounds like those churches I went to that catechized their members to believe everything would always work out, to the destruction of faith in many, I suppose.
Some part of my psyche has subconsciously rejected this prayer for years. It appeared unseemly to make such an audacious request.
Life is hard, destructive, desolate, and sad. Almost daily, if one pays any attention. It seems a fool’s errand to ask God to “deliver us from every sorrow, evil and pain.”
Yet, today, after several weeks of my wife treating me with a great deal of kindness that I have not earned, cheering me toward wholeness, (Notice here that her love in action, not her theology or lecturing, moved me) I recognized the wisdom here.
We need songs of repentance, truly. We also need songs of deliverance.
Perhaps, due to our frailty, we have greater need of the latter. Perhaps.
God loves us as we are, yet longs to draw us closer to holiness that we might live fuller lives.
Consider the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well. She lived in a manner that was sinful, and harmful to her own soul. Yet, Jesus first sat with her and talked, heard her sorrow and looked into her sad eyes, when everyone else treated her with ridicule and ostracism. Jesus knew she needed love first, then truth.
This is how we must love our neighbor.
I have a few students who have done diddly-squat during this crazy time of online-hybrid-virtual-pandemic learning. They’ve just checked out. And in our teacher meetings, some bemoan these lazy little children and their irresponsible parents.
And yet, they are people, these little ones, who need to be loved, despite their pitiful effort. So, when I see one of these children pass by, I try to reach out with a smile and ask something I think they can answer, to make them feel accepted. I try to give them a moment of peace, when I’m not checking in on their meager effort, but instead just seeing them, the person they are in their sadness.
The point is, I sort of understand this, how to love my neighbor with mercy. (I’ve still got a long way to go.)
However, I often refuse to accept that I SHOULD ASK God for joy, and deliverance from “every sorrow, evil and pain.”
Maybe you’re like me, and your focus is always repentance. This morning I was reminded that it is alright to ask God for good, too. A perfect Father who gives good gifts, He is waiting for you and me to share the deepest longings of our souls.
Part of faith is the humility to recognize our need for great mercy. The other part is hoping against reason that Our Heavenly Father will draw us near, and hold us, and wipe our tears, and fill our souls with rejoicing. So, join me as I ask God to “deliver us from every sorrow, evil and pain.”
"Examine all things; hold on to the good."

Impacts on biodiversity of exploitation of renewable energy sources: the example of birds and bats – facts, gaps in knowledge, demands for further research, and ornithological guidelines for the development of renewable energy exploitation.
The purpose of this report is to collect and to evaluate the available information on the impacts of exploitation of renewable energy sources on birds and bats. The focus is on wind energy as there is only little information on the impact on birds and bats of other sources of renewable energy. The report aims at better understanding the size of the impact, the potential effects of re-powering (exchanging small old wind turbines by new big turbines), and possible measures to reduce the negative impact on birds by wind turbines. In addition the need for further research is highlighted.
The evaluation is based on 127 separate studies (wind farms) in ten countries, most of them in Germany. Most studies were brief (not more than two years) and did not include the preconstruction period. Before-After Control Impact studies that combine data collection before and after, in this case construction of a wind farm, on both the proposed development site and at least one reference site were rare. In only a few cases, would the design of the study and the length of the study period theoretically allow statistically significant effects of wind farms on birds and bats to be found at all. Assessments of impacts, therefore, are usually based on few studies only. This report includes all studies readily available to the authors, irrespective of the length of the study period and the quality of the study design. In order to base the assessments on as many independent samples as possible even rather unsystematic observations were included. The information of the data was reduced to a level that justified the application of sign tests. The compilation of many different individual studies gave the following results:
The main potential hazards to birds and bats from wind farms are disturbance leading to displacement or exclusion and collision mortality. Although there is a high degree of agreement among experts that wind farms may have negative impacts on bird populations no statistically significant evidence of negative impacts on populations of breeding birds could be found. There was a tendency waders nesting on open grounds to be displaced by wind farms. Some passerines obviously profited from wind farms. They were probably affected by secondary impacts, e.g. changes in land management or abandonment from agricultural use next to the wind plants.
The impact of wind farms on non-breeding birds was stronger. Wind farms had significantly negative effects on local populations of geese, Wigeons, Golden Plovers and Lapwings.
With the exceptions of Lapwings, Black-tailed Godwits and Redshanks most bird species used the space close to wind turbines during the breeding season. The minimal distances observed between birds and pylons rarely exceeded 100 m during the breeding season. Some passerines showed a tendency to settle closer to bigger than to smaller wind turbines.
During the non-breeding season many bird species of open landscapes avoided approaching wind parks closer than a few hundred metres. This particularly held true for geese and waders. In accordance with published information disturbance of geese may occur at least up to 500 m from wind turbines. For most species during the non-breeding season, the distances at which disturbance could be noted increased with the size of the wind turbines. For Lapwings this relationship was statistically significant. There was no evidence that birds generally became „habituated“ to wind farms in the years after their construction. The results of the few studies lasting longer than one season revealed about as many cases of birds occurring closer to wind farms (indications for the existence of habituation) over the years as those of birds occurring further away from wind farms (indications for the lack of habituation).
The question whether wind farms act as barriers to movement of birds has so far received relatively little systematic scientific attention. Wind farms are thought to be barriers if birds approaching them change their flight direction, both on migration or during other regular flights.
There is evidence for the occurrence of a barrier effect in 81 bird species. Geese, Common Cranes, waders and small passerines were affected in particular. However, the extent to which the disturbances due to wind farms of migrating or flying birds influences energy budgets or the timing of migration of birds remains unknown.
Collision rates (annual number of killed individuals per turbine) have only rarely been studied with appropriate methods (e. g. with controls of scarvenger activities). In particular, such studies are missing for Germany. Collision rates varied between 0 and more than 50 collisions per turbine per year for both birds and bats. Obviously the habitat influenced the number of collisions. Birds were at high risks at wind farms close to wetlands where gulls were the most common victims and at wind farms on mountain ridges (USA, Spain), where many raptors were killed. Wind farms in or close to forests posed high collision risks for bats. For both birds and bats, the collision risk increased with increasing size of the wind turbine. The relationship, however, was not statistically significant.
Gulls and raptors accounted for most of the victims. In Germany the relatively high numbers of White-tailed Eagles (13) and Red Kites (41) killed give cause for concern. Germany hosts about half of the world population of breeding Red Kites and has a particular responsibility for this species. Bird species that were easily disturbed by wind farms (geese, waders) were only rarely found among the victims. Bats were struck by wind turbines mostly in late summer or autumn during the period of migration and dispersal.
Population models created by the software VORTEX revealed that significant decreases in size of bird and bat populations may be caused by relatively small (0,1 %) additive increases in annual mortality rates, provided they are not counter acted by density dependent increases in reproduction rates. Short-lived species with high reproductive rates are more affected than long-lived species with low reproductive rates. The latter, however, are less able to substitute additional mortality by increasing reproductive rates.
The effects of „repowering“ (substitution of old, small turbines by new turbines with higher capacity) on birds and bats is assessed by the available data and by simple models. There is no information, however, on the effects of the newest generation of very large wind turbines. According to current knowledge, repowering will reduce negative impacts on birds and bats (disturbance and mortality) if the total capacity of a wind farm is not changed (many small turbines are replaced by few big turbines). In a scenario in which the capacity of a wind farm is increased 1.5 fold, negative impacts start to dominate. In case of a doubling of wind farm capacity, repowering increases the negative impacts of the wind farm. Repowering offers the chance to remove wind farms from sites that are associated with high impacts or risks for birds and bats. New turbines could be constructed on sites that are likely to be less problematic with respect to birds and bats.
Effective methods of reducing the negative impacts of wind energy use on birds and bats include:
- choice of the right site for wind farms (avoidance of wetands, woodlands, important sites for sensitive non-breeding birds and mountain ridges with high numbers of raptors and vultures),
- measures to reduce the attractivness of wind farm sites for potential collision victims,
- configuration of turbines within wind farms (placement of turbines parallel to and not accross the main migration or flight directions of birds),
- construction of wind turbines: replacement of lattice towers, wire-cables and overhead power lines.
Measures to increase the visibility of wind turbines and to reduce the effects of illumination remain to be studied.
In spite of many publications on windfarms and birds there still is a great demand for further research. First of all there is an urgent need for reliable data on collision rates at wind turbines of birds and bats in Germany. This holds true particularly for the new and big turbines which will replace the present generation of wind turbines.
It is still unclear whether these big and necessarily illuminated turbines pose a high collision risk to nocturnal migrants which have not yet been greatly affected by smaller turbines. The high collision rates of Red Kites in Germany also merit urgently study. The aim of the research has to be a quick reduction of the collision rates. The sensitivity to wind farms of many other bird species that are of particular nature conservation interest (storks, raptors, Cranes) has not yet been sufficiently studied.
There is hardly any information on the impacts of arrays of solar panels on birds and bats. Studies should be initiated as soon as possible. | <urn:uuid:94aae7dd-018c-48dc-b84c-619735491aee> | CC-MAIN-2024-10 | https://tethys.pnnl.gov/publications/impacts-biodiversity-exploitation-renewable-energy-sources-example-birds-bats | 2024-02-21T12:08:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-10/segments/1707947473472.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240221102433-20240221132433-00793.warc.gz | en | 0.957329 | 1,771 | [

You might have caught a glimpse of these new Callaway blades on tour in recent weeks and boy they’re absolute beauties.
Although we would all love to stick a set of blades in the bag, the simple fact is that only a select few golfers are actually good enough ball strikers to warrant gaming something this sleek and compact.
For that reason, Callaway built the new Apex MB irons with the best players in the game in mind.
One of the first things you’ll notice with this new iteration of Callaway’s muscleback design is a new CG weighting system.
Callaway has engineered a new weight in the centre of the clubhead, allowing them to precisely dial in swingweights without sacrificing CG location.
Another key feature comes in the form of the 20V grooves.
These precision grooves are designed to promote the high level of control and consistent spin that muscleback players expect out of any playing conditions.
The 20V design also stand out for reducing fliers from the rough to deliver even more control.
Apart from that, it’s largely the same, sumptuous Callaway blade that is loved by tour pros and ball strikers the world over.
Its classic shape and style, traditional, thin topline, refined sole, compact blade length and stunning chrome finish make it one of the best looking designs on the market.
Although the Apex MB irons are not currently available in Europe, it is understood that they will be introduced and available at retail across Europe in the early part of 2021.
Now, if only we could all stripe it like a pro and put these magnificent irons in our bag. Wouldn’t that be nice.
