What is the SNOO Smart Sleeper Bassinet?
In short, the SNOO is a high-tech smart bassinet that uses gentle motions and white noise to soothe your baby (and by extension, you) to sleep. It’s been shown to help babies sleep up to an extra three hours per night. Not bad!
Who invented the SNOO?
It was designed by Dr. Harvey Karp, author of the bestselling book The Happiest Baby on the Block.
Where can I buy a SNOO?
However, there is also a huge secondhand market for the SNOO, so be sure to check out Facebook Marketplace or your local mom groups.
How does the SNOO work?
The SNOO bassinet comes equipped with sensors that detect your baby’s cries and movements. When these sensors are activated, the bassinet will start rocking your baby gently back and forth until they fall asleep.
It will also play white noise at a volume that is just loud enough to block out other ambient noise but not so loud as to harm their hearing. According to the manufacturer, the sound level is safe and is below the levels experienced in the womb.
Is the SNOO safe?
The SNOO has been designed with safety in mind from the ground up. It meets or exceeds all US safety standards, and it has a number of features that help reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
For example, it’s equipped with mesh walls that allow airflow while still keeping your baby contained, and it has an adjustable built-in swaddle system that secures your baby in place preventing them from rolling over in their sleep.
According to some, it’s the safest baby bed on the market.
My Honest SNOO Bassinet Review
Here is my honest opinion on the SNOO bassinet. I have not received any money, sponsorship, or gifts for sharing my personal experience.
I purchased the SNOO for my second baby.
As a first-time mom, there was no way I would have spent this much on a bassinet for my first baby. At that time I was all about minimalism and saving money.
But, I was never successful at getting my first daughter to sleep in her bassinet. I had a beautiful cradle I had borrowed from a friend, but it went unused.
My first daughter co-slept with us, and it led to years of poor sleep. I swore I’d never cosleep before my firstborn, and I swore it again before my 2nd born.
Recognizing that quality sleep is priceless, I just knew I had to splurge on a SNOO for my 2nd born.
As of 2022, a brand new SNOO sells for approx $1700. The following items are included with the sale of the bassinet:
- Three ivory swaddles
- One ivory bedsheet
- Mattress with water-proof cover
- Unlimited access to sleep consultants
- One-year manufacturer warranty
At first glance, that is certainly a lot of money and way more than the cost of a standard bassinet.
But quality sleep is priceless. And the cost is certainly cheaper than a night nurse.
I get that most people just can’t afford the hefty price tag. But when you take the resell value into account, it’s absolutely worth it and really not much more than a standard bassinet.
So you have commitment issues? Ummm no? Ok, maybe it’s the sticker shock. Good news, SNOO rental is available from the Happiest Baby website. While I never used the rental program, it’s certainly a good option if you don’t want to commit to buying a SNOO.
Purchasing a SNOO secondhand
I purchased my SNOO preowned from a friend.
Her baby had only used it a handful of times, and it just didn’t work for them.
So, I was able to purchase a very gently used SNOO with six ivory SNOO swaddles in different sizes and two ivory fitted sheets for about $1000 (huge savings). It even came in the original box. One fitted sheet and most of the swaddles were still in their original packaging.
There are plenty of secondhand SNOOs for sale. So check your local Facebook Marketplace or moms groups if you are looking for a great deal.
Assembly & Set Up
I brought the SNOO home well before my due date. My husband set it up for us in our bedroom. It was easy and quick to assemble.
In order to set up the SNOO app, my husband had to reach out to customer service that same night. He was able to get a representative on the line easily and he found them helpful.
We were all set up and we were able to confirm that we could easily control the bassinet from the app.
I immediately loved the sleek look of the SNOO.
The first afternoon we brought our daughter home from the hospital we laid her in the SNOO as a trial. We were excited that she seemed to like it from the very beginning.
Then, the first night home we put her in the SNOO to sleep.
My first impression was the rocking motion jiggled her head (and brain) too much. I also found the noise of the SNOO to be quite loud. It took some getting used to for us to sleep through the noise.
According to the manufacturer, the sound level is safe and is below the levels in the womb.
Given my concern regarding the motion, I opted to put the bassinet in weaning mode with the motion limiter on from the first night.
The manufacturer also addresses this concern on its website, stating that the amount of jiggling babies experience in the SNOO is safe and mimics being in the womb.
Every night we used it with these settings on. If we ever felt she needed a little more rocking to sleep, we could manually increase the speed from the app on our phones.
The first night in the SNOO she did cry quite a bit. It took some getting used to the SNOO, but I am so glad we stuck it out.
In weaning mode, once the SNOO senses that the baby is asleep, it gradually reduces the rocking and eventually, it will turn off the rocking motion. The white noise will continue to play even when the motion stops.
If the baby wakes up, the SNOO will begin rocking and increase the sound to put the baby back to sleep.
If you do not have the weaning mode on, the SNOO will continue to rock your baby through the night at the lowest level.
The SNOO has 4 levels of rocking motion. Level 4 is the highest level available. The motion limiter limits the rocking speed to Level 2.
I found the mobile app to be intuitive and easy to use. The app contains a sleep log that allows parents to see how well their baby sleeps through the night.
The app controls the SNOO via Wifi. If your internet is down, you can manually turn the SNOO on and off from the power button on the bassinet.
I don’t recommend the ivory SNOO sheets.
Since the baby is strapped down in the bed, the oils from my baby’s head formed a dark spot on the sheet. Even with frequent washing, I had to buy new sheets because of the dark spot that formed. Yuck!
Fortunately, you can buy sheets in other fun colors.
SNOO sleep sack aka SNOO swaddle
I found the SNOO swaddles to be high quality. They held up well in the wash and seemed comfortable for my baby.
Sometimes I did have to run them through more than one dry cycle to get all of the moisture out of them.
The mattress is more of a mattress pad but seemed adequate. It has a water-resistant mattress cover. I had no issues with the mattress and saw no need to replace it.
Ok, this is why we are all reading this right! Yes, I firmly believe the SNOO made my daughter a good sleeper and that I got extra sleep thanks to it!
By 2.5 months of age, my baby girl would sleep 7-9 hours straight! That’s no wake-ups! It was in fact a dream machine.
The Happiest Baby company recommends putting the baby to sleep in the SNOO for naps and overnight sleep.
Especially in the beginning, we did use it for occasional naps. But given how many hours a day newborns sleep, I just did not feel comfortable putting her in the SNOO, strapped down like that, for that many hours a day.
For most naps during the first couple of months of life, I used the Snuggle Me Organic lounger. This is one of my recommended must-haves for newborns. You can see, she actually liked to nap with her arms up.
The manufacturer recommends bringing the SNOO along on vacations. It is not exactly compact and frankly does not lend itself well to travel.
We took one vacation without the SNOO at around 3 months. It did not go well.
It would have taken up our entire trunk space, with no space left for luggage, if we had brought it along. Fortunately we only had a couple of nights of poor sleep to deal with.
Baby transition to crib
At 4 months of age, we had to wean my daughter. She now sleeps well in her own crib in her own room.
She is officially a SNOO graduate and continues to be a good sleeper. Woohoo!!
I purchased a preowned SNOO for $1000 with 6 swaddles and 2 fitted sheets.
When I was done with it, I sold my SNOO bassinet on Facebook marketplace for $1000. I bought some new sheets for it and included them in the sale. So the SNOO essentially cost me the price of the extra bed sheets.
I sold the SNOO at 4 months, and most of the swaddles that came with it were still in their original packaging.
How many SNOO sacks do I need?
SNOO sleep sacks are available for purchase from the SNOO website and other major retailers.
There is no substitute for the SNOO sleep sack because it’s specifically designed to secure the baby in place within the bassinet. So you have to buy the Happiest Baby brand of swaddle that’s designed specifically for the SNOO.
The SNOO swaddles come in 3 sizes: small, medium, and large. You can wash them in the washing machine. You should plan to use the SNOO for up to about 6 months of age (per the manufacturer’s recommendations).
How many you need depends on how often you like to do laundry. You can probably get away with 1 swaddle in each size, which is what the SNOO comes with. You will just have to wash it each week.
So that you have a backup swaddle always available, I recommend starting with at least 2 small swaddles and 2 medium swaddles. I never even used the large swaddle sack, we weaned before she got to that size.
If your baby is prone to spit-ups you will likely need more.
What to wear under SNOO sack
We keep our bedroom pretty cool, our thermostat is set to 70F to sleep.
Since the SNOO sack is breathable, I would usually put her in long-sleeved and long-legged pajamas to be sure she was cozy.
I love the Posh Peanut rompers for the soft stretchy material and two-way zippers.
Does the SNOO cause the baby’s needs to be neglected?
This is a fair question. In my honest experience no, it does not cause parents to neglect their children. The SNOO works by rocking and soothing your baby to help them sleep.
If they were crying you would otherwise pick them up and rock them, take them for a car ride, or bounce them up and down on a ball to get them back to sleep.
Historically, parents have suffered through many painful hours of sleep deprivation as a consequence of poor newborn sleep. And the SNOO is basically a very effective tool for helping babies sleep.
If the baby continues to cry despite the SNOOs increased rocking and sound – perhaps because they are hungry or need a diaper change – the SNOO will turn off and inform you your baby needs your attention.
Because I knew my daughter’s feeding schedule I pretty much knew when it was time to get up and feed her. I would change her diaper when I would feed her.
I really didn’t have the SNOO turn off and alert me to attend to the baby that many times, because as a mother I was in sync with her needs.
Does the SNOO cause a flat head in babies?
There is some controversy surrounding the SNOO. There are some concerns that the use of the SNOO leads to a flat head in babies. The medical term is known as plagiocephaly.
I think for regular bedtime use, this is not a concern, especially since parents have been swaddling babies to sleep long before the SNOO existed.
Also, remember that the AAP recommends that babies are always placed on their backs to sleep.
Does the SNOO interfere with bonding?
This is another controversy out there that you may encounter. In my opinion, no it absolutely does not interfere with bonding.
Current safe sleep guidelines recommend that babies are placed to sleep in their own baby bed that meets safe sleep standards. That is exactly what the SNOO bassinet provides for them – a safe space to sleep.
You will still do all the childcare that will give you an opportunity to bond: like baths, clothing changes, diaper changes, feeds, burping the baby, playing and reading to them!
Is the SNOO an infant sleep positioner?
Some have suggested that the SNOO is unsafe because infant sleep positioners have been deemed unsafe.
Let’s take a closer look at this claim.
This is how the FDA describes sleep positioners:
“Some types of sleep positioners can feature raised supports or pillows (called “bolsters”) that are attached to each side of a mat, or a wedge to raise a baby’s head. Products called “nests” can feature soft, wall-like structures that surround the base. The positioners claim to keep a baby in a specific position while sleeping and are often used for babies under 6 months old.”
The following video from the FDA website warning about infant sleep positioners also shows pillows and bolsters.
Sadly these positioners have been linked to infant death from suffocation.
From both the description and video provided by the FDA, it seems to me that the FDA is referring to snuggle nests and bolsters as being unsafe for sleep – not the SNOO.
The AAP also warns against the use of postioners. Here is how the AAP describes positioners:
“These are sometimes called baby nests, docks, pods, loungers, rockers or nappers…Soft and plush sleep surfaces are…dangerous…With sleep positioners, babies can suffocate after rolling onto their stomachs since they can’t lift their heads. The soft padding can make it difficult to breathe if a baby’s face presses against it.”
Similar to the FDA description, the AAP seems to be talking about bolsters and pillows and nests – not the SNOO.
Perhaps not surprisingly, even Happiest Baby (makers of the SNOO) claim the SNOO is not a positioner.
SNOO newborn tips
- Start from the first night at home.
- Make sure your baby is well-fed before you put them in the SNOO for the night.
- Make sure your baby has a clean diaper before you put them in the SNOO for the night.
- Make sure the temperature in the room is comfortable
- Resist the urge to bring your baby into your bed. The early days are tough because newborns wake to eat every 2-3 hours. Sticking to putting the baby back in the SNOO will pay off in the long run.
- Be consistent and patient. Newborns do not come with a preset day/night cycle – they often have their days and nights mixed up. But with some consistency, they will get a handle on their new sleeping arrangement.
- Plan to wash your sheets and swaddles at least once a week.
- If your baby is prone to spitting up just go ahead and buy more swaddles, save yourself the headache of too frequent washing. Remember you can sell everything in a bundle when you are done with it.
Is the SNOO worth it?
There’s no denying that the SNOO is an impressive piece of technology. But is it worth the price tag? When you consider the resell value, then yes it is absolutely worth it.
If you’re looking for a way to get more sleep (and who isn’t?), then the SNOO is definitely worth checking out.
And if you still can’t stomach the cost, consider renting one.
Benefits of the SNOO
In summary, the biggest benefits of the SNOO for me were
- It took care of sleep training my baby for me
- My baby slept in her own safe sleep space (no bed-sharing)
- My baby slept longer stretches
- By the time my baby was 3 months old, I was able to consistently get more restful sleep
- Overall instilled good sleep habits, as a SNOO grad she sleeps through the night in her own crib
Overall, the SNOO is a great device for newborns and new parents. The SNOO can help babies (and parents) sleep longer and more soundly. And yes, it is expensive but oh so worth it.
Did the SNOO work for you? We’d love to hear about your experience in the comments below.

To put this quote into context, Tybalt has just insulted Romeo by calling him a "villain." He has also challenged Romoe to draw his sword and have a fight. In response, Romeo refuses to accept this insult because he says he has never done anything harmful to Tybalt ("never injured thee").
In addition, Romeo goes on to say that he loves Tybalt more than he could ever know. He also says that he loves the Capulet name more than Tybalt realizes. This is significant because Romeo is alluding to his secret marriage to Juliet. By marrying her, Romeo has become part of the Capulet family and, therefore, no longer feels any hatred for Tybalt and other members of Juliet's family.
As a result, Romeo urges Tybalt to "be satisified." In other words, he wants him to calm down and back off and to accept his declaration of peace because it is genuine.
Of course, Tybalt has no idea that Romeo has married Juliet, so he will not back down. Tybalt's refusal to back down, however, is an action that will soon cost him his life. | <urn:uuid:7d7a5dd8-0226-4814-92f2-c185b139cb21> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.enotes.com/topics/romeo-and-juliet/questions/explain-the-quote-i-do-protest-i-never-injured-167995 | 2023-10-03T14:57:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.989367 | 239 |

User experience matters most when planning to build an online platform. In a way, Vue goes the extra mile to enhance the user experience, and it ultimately gives success to an online platform. Today, we will talk about the Vue Developer Tools in detail.
Vue is an alluring progressive framework specially developed for the user interface. Unlike many other frameworks, Vue is designed from scratch to easily get integrated with different environments.
Moreover, Vue is even capable to deal with the sophisticated single page application with its function and Vue tools.
So are you interested to know more about various Vue developer tools? Get into the article to know about the top Vue developer tools in 2023.
Top Vue Tools For Developers
When you’re worried about the server-side rendering (SSR), the Vue tool like Nuxt would help you the best. It is one of the best Vue tools used to build a universal application.
The tool comes with various divided modules which makes it easy for the developers to choose the one which suits them best.
With the Nuxt Vue tool, you can seamlessly develop the single page application, progressive web apps, and server-rendered apps. This is a great benefit of this Vue tool.
In a way, we can say that this Vue developer tool will save developers the tedious task of structuring and streamline the developing experience.
With the help of instant prototyping features, you can easily experiment the new ideas and there is no need to build the whole project for the same.
Vue CLI supports web development tools like Babel, Mocha, Cypress, PostCSS, PWA, Jest, TypeScript, ESLint, and Nightwatch.
Here, the icing on the cake is a powerful GUI that lets you create, configure, and manage the project easily. And the best part is there is no need for ejection in the project.
It is one of the biggest players in the Vue ecosystem and is even known as a static site generator.
In the initial phase, VuePress was created as a tool for writing technical documentation. Later, it turned out to be a powerful headless CMS which is small and compact.
Since the first version of VuePress, it has offered extraordinary blogging features and even comes with a plugin system.
The tool even allows you to build custom themes or use the pre-developed option from the large community.
The major benefit that you get with VuePress is that you can include Vue Components or codes without any need for markdown files.
This Vue Js tool is similar to VuePress but has a major difference when it comes to the data source. Gridsome helps you to manage the data in the best possible way one can think of. The app will allow us to connect and use data from different sources.
In short, we can say that Gridsome is a tool developed for managing the front-end and GraphQL Data. The working goes like, provide the content and it will be converted to the GraphQL layer.
Later, you can use the data to build your app. All you need to do here is deploy the pre-rendered HTML file to a static web host, rest will be taken care of by the tool. However, for that function to perform, you need to hire Vue js developers.
One of the main problems faced by the developers these days is state management for web app building. Vuex offers an extraordinary state management system that acts as a central command point for the whole system.
All in all, it works as a centralized store for all the needed components in the system. The store is divided into various modules for a better understanding and application.
The four special objects which handle the complete system are mentioned below:
State: The one which stores data.
Getters: A method to abstract access for the state.
Mutations: Method that affects the state.
Actions: The object used to trigger mutations and asynchronous code.
A Vue tool with the greatest UI component libraries and a huge set of crafted components. And, this is enough to build a perfect app for any industry. The main reason for the popularity of Vuetify is its UI components.
You can easily use the components to build a single page app, progressive web apps, and mobile apps. To the fact, you can even start with a completely new app or just add it to the existing app.
The tool offers a free version as well as a premium version that comes with extraordinary themes. Just choose the component and place it in your app.
Quasar comes with amazing documentation and a massive set of components designed with great responsiveness.
The tool will integrate itself into the HTML, CSS, JS minification, code limiting, and accessibility, so the developers can focus more on important features.
In addition to all, this Vue developer tool provides CLI for the effortless starting of a new project.
Writing good and easily understandable components is a key thing for any developer. To fulfill this goal, the Storybook tool will suit the best for the developers as it is so handy with the components.
The Vue tool will let the developers develop and test amazing UI components in an easy-to-use way.
The tool even supports the isolated environment. Additionally, Storybook will allow the developers to create the components independently from the main app.
Later, developers can even showcase the components in an isolated environment. Therefore, we can say that without worrying about any dependencies developers can work on UI components.
These days there is a lot of buzz about the word GraphQL, and thanks to Vue Apollo. As it simply allows you to use GraphQL with the ongoing or new project. The tool allows you to have a smooth and pleasant representation of the app.
Vue Apollo is a Vue.js dev tool that will help you to build an extraordinary appearance of your app. If you’re so keen on the look of your application, then Vue Apollo will suit them best.
It is one of the best slideshow systems developed by the Vue. Eagle.js is so powerful and flexible that you can easily rescue the components and slides for your app representations.
The tool even supports animation, initiative widgets, and themes that will help you to create alluring demos.
Eagle.js enables you to put the Slideshare file in a separate folder rather than in the library. So that you can reuse it whenever you need it.
You can even import slides of particular slideshows in another one. At last, you can make out of the box and entertaining presentations with Eagle.js.
It is always important that you easily track the errors of your code for on-time delivery. When we talk about Vue.js dev tools, it has proven a standard in doing it.
The tool can help you in a seamless debugging of Vue code by just accessing the web page that has errors.
Once you install the Vue dev tools on your web browser, you will see an icon on the search bar. Just enable the icon whenever you want to know about the errors of a page.
There is even a feature that will let you know about the error automatically. To make the code debuggable, you need to enter a small syntax as mentioned below.
Vue.config.devtools = true
Writing a few pages of code for a platform is quite easy to manage and process. But when it comes to handling a bigger platform, tools become an essential part.
WebPack comes with readymade components which will make the code lighter and easy to process. You can even use these components in various pages which makes coding faster.
Above all, Webpack is widely used by the developers due to its amazing features. You can even include the extra files from the other projects. At the end process of the deploying, the tool will allow you to easily manage all the needed files.
It is one of the most favorite tools by the developers due to its amazing library. Basically, it is a library that provides a huge number of elements that you can place in your application. Vue-Dummy simplifies the process of generating placeholders for the content and text holder.
All you need to do here is write a single line code in your existing code. Use the below-given syntax as per your coding style.
npm install vue-dummy --save-dev
This will ease your work to a great extent. Just install the Vue-Dummy to your web browser and integrate it with your project through the above-mentioned syntax.
Official Vue.js Guide
As the Vue tool name suggests, it is a complete guide on working with Vue.js. Official Vue.js Guide is especially helpful for the ones who are just about to begin their journey as a Vue.js Developer.
This Vue tool includes a guide to learning Vue, documentation of Vue.js API, the official style code of Vue, a few Vue project examples, and much more.

As esports become more and more accepted around the world. By generations younger and older alike. It’s easier than ever to see it as a good investment for companies looking to expose their brand to a new and attentive audience. As the scenes of many stand-out esports grow and grow, the tournaments get bigger and bigger. Where there is competition there is a prize. And much like with traditional sports, where there is an audience, there is a wager to be had. In this piece, I’ll look at the differences, and similarities, of esports vs traditional sports betting.
Evolution of Esports and its Relation to Traditional Sports
Esports, the product of competition and a strive to be the best existing within all walks of life. Beginning humbly on the scoreboards of old and dusty arcade machines, as people got to grips with a new digital age. Now the medium has grown beyond what could possibly ever have been expected.
In recent years personal computers have become all the more accessible. The titles of choice have gone from Pacman, space invaders and Tomb Raider. To the likes of Counter-Strike, Call of Duty and League of Legends.
Its counterpart is its most comparable production in terms of competitive nature, personal expression and attraction of onlookers. Is obviously the traditional set of sports.
This is proof that human nature creates competition for its own sake. That watching somebody perform something in an exceptional manner. A manner that displays grit, determination and learnedness is inspiring no matter the medium. In such a way, esports and sports differ but are also very much the same.
Accessibility and Audience Reach
As the media looks for more and more ways to pit sports vs. esports. It’s only natural to consider esports betting vs sports betting as an extension. How do they differ? Well for starters, the setting.
Esports is infinitely more available on hand than the vast majority of traditional sports. You don’t need a TV, a subscription or even to create an account in most cases. Simply open Twitch or Youtube and the top tier games are immediately available for viewing. Professional CSGO and LoL games at your fingertips.
This presents esports betting sites with an audience that has no barrier to entry, which is a big win for esports in terms of esports betting vs sports betting.
Leveraging Data to Make Informed Decisions
In esports betting vs sports betting, it’s clear that statisticians with a love for the games that they follow have looked for every way to measure the players and teams that they follow and love. To garner knowledge for an edge in betting. That or simply to set in stone which player on paper has more impact.
However, due to the very nature of esports taking place in a controlled environment on a digital platform, every element of a given game can be captured and presented as a piece of data. The intangibles obviously being exempt from this.
This gives bettors access to more esports betting data than ever to make informed decisions on their expectations for the result of a game.
Game Context and Variable Factors in Esports vs Sports Betting
Another significant difference, in esports betting vs sports betting, is the variance in the context of the game.
- For example, if you were going to bet on CSGO you’d want to know that the match could be played on any of the given seven maps in the pool, depending on the picks and the bans of the team. This adjusts the likelihood of a team winning or losing a half, depending on if the map is T (terrorist) or CT (counter-terrorist) sided.
- Or within League of Legends, where the map always remains Summoner’s Rift, but the draft phase means that any of the five players could end up on any of one hundred and sixty-plus different champions available to select in the game.
This variance is more prevalent in esports betting vs. traditional sports betting. As for example a sport like basketball sees the same players on the same court for each and every game, there are fewer variables for the consumer to keep track of.
Profit Potential and Analytical Advantage
But something that remains true regardless of which side you land on, in esports vs traditional sports betting is that there is money to be made if you truly know your stuff. But this variance in context, can be a boon to esports bettors.
Knowing the map, a team might be likely to steer towards and whether their opponent likes to ban it, and knowing the draft before deciding who is going to achieve first blood in the game can all help when it comes to profit.
With there being more variance, there’s more to bet on, more that can be studied and quantified, leaving you with a clearer idea of where a game might be headed than simply knowing Team A is playing Team B and Team B is playing on their home field.
Implications for Betting
Despite many countries regarding esports players as athletes and affording them special visas with this in mind to aid in travel. For example, the United States, China, South Korea, and India, to name but a few. The two are generally referred to separately: Sports and Esports.
The consensus of old age media seems to be that a sport requires you to exert yourself. However, as Rick Fox, Canadian Actor, former Basketball player and owner of Echo Fox, famously put it on TheView: “I think about what it took for me to become a professional athlete. It took a lot of concentration, a lot of dedication, practice, preparation, stamina… they’re professionals, they have careers.”
Much to the chagrin of the other members of the ensemble, one of whom simply stated, “If they don’t sweat it’s not a sport.” Whether you think so or not shouldn’t affect your view on esports vs traditional sports betting, as it’s important to focus on what will generate the most beneficial outcome for you.
Leveraging Knowledge and Responsible Gambling
Overall, when it comes to esports vs traditional sports betting, if you have a preference for following either category, then it’s best to apply your knowledge to the area where you have the most of it.
It’s important to make informed decisions and to always bet responsibly. Never put forward more than you can afford to lose. With this in mind if you are still on the fence, with the larger degree of accessible data that esports betting has and the smaller barrier to entry. It might be pertinent to make your way into this space first as an icebreaker. | <urn:uuid:d1b06e52-9706-4ebe-b8e2-d07c80aa8853> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.esportsbets.com/news/esports-vs-sports-betting/ | 2023-10-03T15:16:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.9559 | 1,444 |
Women making their voices heard at the polls has never been more important than it is for this upcoming election and a new graphic is giving the world a startling look at what the outcome would be this November if only women voted.
In a new infographic from FiveThirtyEight that depicts which candidate would win each state if only women had the deciding vote, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton comes out victorious. In a second map that predicts the results of the election if men were the only ones heading to the polls, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump wins by an overwhelming majority.

Given that each of the infographics were built using up-to-date statistical data, the fact that the majority of men would be predicted to still vote for Donald Trump in light of the many troubling, statements, beliefs and incidents that are at the core of his campaign is highly disappointing, to say the least. | <urn:uuid:d7b1f42b-09f3-4378-ac55-d78b3ee258ca> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.essence.com/news/politics/if-only-women-voted/ | 2023-10-03T14:47:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.973688 | 194 |
In a world where all businesses are working towards delivering contactless experiences, bringing only the necessary employees to work and adjusting to social distancing; anything that can be automated and made more efficient is a big plus. Digitalization, automation, AI and robotics are being implemented across sectors to increase productivity and reduce costs. And while the benefits of integrating AI into business have been limited to far as per a BCG report , it is continuing to see increased investments for many reasons.
According to a survey conducted by MIT Sloan Management Review & BCG, more than 4 out of 10 senior executives consider AI a potential competitive risk. Rajan Navani, MD & CEO, JetSynthesis which has a play in gaming, fintech, digital media and entertainment and travel says, “ A decade ago, we started investing in digital capabilities and stopped building manufacturing capacity. We believed that the old way of manufacturing a product and then making an aggressive sale to push it to a consumer would get phased out. In the new world you had to be integrated seamlessly to your customer’s lifestyle.” The firm has created online interest groups that it engages with frequently and leverages for meaningful sales. The company discovered that an online community of people interested in mindfulness was an extremely reliable cohort for collateral-free loans with extremely low default rates.
Even though 70% firms report no gain from AI investments, 60% of those who make significant investments see the impact. The two big mistakes that Indian CEOs make while taking digital initiatives is that firstly, they don’t allocate sufficient funds. Secondly, they don’t hire specialized talent for the task. This has to change. Firms that have adopted technology did see its benefits during the pandemic. For SS Gopalarathnam, MD, Cholamandalam General Insurance, the pay off was in the form of great customer service even during the lockdown. “ We were able to move to a 100% work from home model and make all the necessary changes in 7 days with zero disruption in customer service. New policies were being issued and old ones were being serviced seamlessly. But we had gone about systematically in implementing digital initiatives. We divided our business into eight streams covering everything from analytics and infrastructure to customer service and then I hired a Chief Digital Officer to oversee everything,” says SS Gopalarathnam.
Companies want to use digital technology to gain economic advantages, but it takes more than technology to set up a digital culture. As per a BCG study of corporate digital transformations, firms that paid attention to the culture as opposed to only technological aspects of the shift were five times more likely to achieve big gains in performance. Their report lays out five key aspects that must be focused on: 1) Engage with customers and partners to develop solutions 2) Delegate more and don’t centralize decision-making 3) Take risks and learn fast 4) Iterate frequently and take speedy action and 5) Value collaboration more than individual effort.
“For digital models to work well, companies cannot simply replicate physical processes and take them online. This kind of implementation takes time, planning and a customized approach that would work for your business. 2020 will mark the beginning of the age of experience. We believe that what will be most effective will be a combination of physical and digital experiences, something we’re calling phygital.” says Deb Deep Sengupta, MD, SAP India.
There are four pillars of digital transformation – 1) Digitizing consumer interaction 2) Upskilling and recruiting for a digital organization 3) Build capabilities to harness large data sets 4) Automate processes. A comprehensive plan that takes into consideration all parts of the business and all its people is needed for a successful digital transformation. The benefits of it are well documented. BCG analysis reveals that digital champions experience a better time-to-market, higher competitive advantage and better cost efficiency. One reason why so far the US has been more successful across industries is because it has more digital champions in telecom, auto, banking, consumer retail, healthcare, energy, manufacturing and the public sector.
In India, even for sectors like auto and luxury goods, for which the online model was only an additional channel, digital will become mainstream. Digital is going to play a large role in communicating the experience the product can provide. If consumers can spend lakhs of rupees while shopping online, bike sales can also happen via e-commerce. The auto sector is looking at how they can assist the customer during the consideration process and also ensure that the customer doesn’t drop off.
But a digital economy cannot emerge just via the technology alone. As digital penetration increases, data security will become more important. Local policies will emerge in all countries and firms will have to adhere to both, domestic policies and global standards. Current business models will not take firms where they want to go in the future without fundamentally integrating digital into the way products and services are created and delivered. | <urn:uuid:3cbb0f51-db73-4163-bb4f-7a88d72844ed> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.et-ilc.com/knowledge-and-learning/accelerating-digital-initiatives-in-post-covid-19-era/ | 2023-10-03T14:47:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.959757 | 1,015 |
Tonight's The Night
I subscribed because if this article! My brother Dennis was his best friend on the mainland. Edis taught him to glass when he was still a grom. We were devastated at his loss. My brother shared your incredible tribute this morning. He said he cried through the whole read. I made my profile pic that of my bride and I with Edis in late June of 1992 while on our Honeymoon. We drove to see him while on duty on the South Shore. It was the last lifeguard position on that side of the island. I don't recall the beach but it was a long stretch and no one was on the beach that day. That was the last time I saw Edis. He will always be loved and fondly remembered. I live in San Pedro which was a second home to him. My brother and Edis were glassing for Wayne Miyata when they became friends and were always together until Edis moved to O’ahu. Thank you for the insight into his death and continuance. It brought some much appreciated closure. Mahalo!
I'm Edis's sister Adela, I.just came across this article. There was so much confusion after his death, we knew some of what happened..but had no idea the details. I recently had a psychic reading and asked about Edis. For.some.reason something prompted me to.google him online, and found your article. Now I know what happened. I always wondered all this time, so thank you. Adela
Yes, I've always wanted to know the whole story, about how it all transpired. My dad was out of the country, and didn't want to believe of what happened, he was sure he was murdered, and went to Hawaii asking all kinds of questions. Recently my mom spread the rest of Edis's ashes in Croatia...were he was born. I had a psychic reading recently, and Edis came thru, he spoke of his death. He said "I'm fine & happy".But not sure what made me search him and come across your essay. But yes, closure for sure. I have alot of his poems and letters...he was always writing about his day. I believe your name came up somewhere in them. Thanks again
Wow. That was heavy.

The Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) made an offer to the London Stock Exchange (LSE) to
at a valuation of £31.6bn.
The LSE’s board, assisted by its financial and legal advisors, has decided to reject the offer due to fundamental flaws within the proposal and won't continue any further engagement.
Within HKEX’s bid, the exchange proposed the LSE’s acquisition of data company Refinitiv could not complete if it was to accept the offer from the HKEX.
The LSE has said it is committed to make further progress with the proposed acquisition of Refinitiv which is on track to close in H2 2020.
The LSE declined the offer via a letter by the LSE’s chairman Don Robert. The letter said the LSE was “surprised and disappointed” the HKEX decided to publish the unsolicited proposal so soon after sending the offer to the exchange.
There were several factors which contributed to the rejection such as the potential scrutiny from financial regulators the LSE would face if it was to accept.
Another factor was three-quarters of the payment would be in HKEX shares. With ongoing political events within Hong Kong left the HKEX’s share consideration inherently uncertain and the LSE is confident it will gain significant value acquiring Refinitiv. Therefore, the LSE believed the valuation made by the HKEX “falls substantially short”.
In response to the LSE's rejection, the HKEX has also released a statement saying it is "disappointed that LSEG has declined to properly engage". Furthermore, it believes that the benefits of its proposal to buy the LSE significantly outweigh those of the proposed acquisition of Refinitiv.
HKEX believes that shareholders in LSEG should have the opportunity to analyse in detail both transactions and will continue to engage with them. | <urn:uuid:5472e9cb-b9d8-4647-b2fe-fda4f9ccff05> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.etfstream.com/articles/lse-rejects-hong-kong-exchange-s-32bn-bid | 2023-10-03T13:48:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.973541 | 393 |
Everybody Loves Raymond star Brad Garrett was one of the many guests at the 7th Annual Television Academy Honors, and the sitcom vet stopped to talk to ET about the recent passing of TV legend Ann B. Davis, who died on Sunday, June 1, at the age of 88.
"She was amazing, and I'm sorry," Garrett said. "A good life, 88."
The 54-year-old comedy star took a moment to find the humor in the sadness, saying of the actress' Brady Bunch character Alice Nelson, "She wasn't a great housekeeper. But she was so funny. She never really did anything. She just stood in the kitchen, kind of like me on Raymond." | <urn:uuid:74d9ab80-1759-4795-93f2-eedf6a125f2b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.etonline.com/news/147011_brad_garrett_reacts_to_death_of_ann_b_davis | 2023-10-03T13:47:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.990578 | 146 |
Founded in the UK, Palmer Hargreaves is a full-service integrated marketing communications agency with expertise in the automotive aftersales market. After in-depth research into the Chinese market, the company decided to establish a presence in the PRC by setting up a Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise (WFOE) in Shanghai in 2014.
The process, however, ended up being rather complex: HR, legal and cultural matters required the support from experts from both the EU and China. Nevertheless, it also endowed Palmer Hargreaves with the necessary credibility to succeed in the local market. Shortly after the establishment of the WFOE, Palmer Hargreaves won a six-figure contract with Porsche in China; and its Shanghai office has already expanded to eight permanent staff members after only one year.

While it is common to host funeral arrangements and other end-of-life ceremonies to remember a loved one, an increasingly popular option is to commemorate loved ones with life celebrations. Rather than focus on the fact that a loved one is gone, those who commemorate their loved ones with life celebrations choose to focus on all the good things their loved ones will be remembered for accomplishing. Here, the team at Evans Funeral Chapel & Cremation Services outlines why commemorating your loved one with a life celebration may be the right option for you.
After a friend or family member passes it is often important for their families to grieve the loss and honor their loved ones. However, not all who die would like to be grieved. Those who leave loved ones behind are increasingly expressing a desire for their loved ones to celebrate how they lived (and not how they died). Life celebrations can be the perfect opportunity to honor their wishes. They can also be hosted inexpensively and are increasingly creative tributes. Unburdened by timelines, funeral arrangements, and even high costs, life celebrations are often a one-of-a-kind way to honor your loved one’s memory and celebrate what made them special.
Life celebrations can be completely personalized. From hosting an event in a place that was important to the deceased to incorporating some of their favorite foods, music, or hobbies there are a number of ways to make your loved one’s life celebration special. Consider hosting a lunch or dinner party where everyone brings a dish that was a favorite of the deceased, especially if they had a passion for food or cooking. Was your loved one a musician? Similar to the New Orleans second-line tradition, a small tribute concert through a public park could be a proper way to send them off. If ash spreading will be incorporated into the life celebration, think about locations that may have been important to your loved one and gather a group of friends and family to visit that site and partake in the event together.
Other common life celebrations include:
- Write messages to your loved ones on biodegradable paper lanterns and send them off from a favorite spot
- Invite friends and family to share stories about the deceased
- Start a memorial fundraiser in their honor. Were they runners? A 5K is an accessible distance to host a race for a cause that was important to them.
- Establish a memorial fund at their high school or university.
- Dedicate a star in their honor.
- Plant a tree in their name.
- Turn their ashes into fireworks.
- Plan a destination life celebration in a place that was special to them or that they always wanted to visit.
The possibilities are truly endless when it comes to planning a life celebration, and the team at Evans Funeral Chapel & Cremation Services is here to help you plan the right way for you and your family to honor your loved one. Life celebrations can serve as the perfect alternative for those who wish to make their celebration creative and personal, while not being tied down by finances or strict funeral guidelines.

Energy efficient glass is used in double glazing and triple glazing to help you reduce your heating bills – and improve your carbon footprint.
Most new builds will be fitted with energy efficient windows. And owners of older properties are advised to replace any single or old-style double-glazing with new, more efficient glass.
How does energy efficient glass work?
Unlike single glazing or older types of double glazing, new energy efficient glass includes coated (low-emissivity) glass to stop heat escaping through windows and doors. It offers highly beneficial thermally insulating properties to keep cold out and warmth in.
Usually, double glazed windows will have two sheets of glass with a gap in between of about 16mm. This gap forms an insulating barrier and is sometimes filled with gas. Triple-glazed windows will have three sheets of glass.
Older style double glazed units don’t contain low-emissivity glass and are not as energy-efficient.
The benefits of energy efficient glass
According to Energy.gov, heat gain and loss through windows are responsible for 25 to 30% of residential heating and cooling energy use.
By replacing your existing window glass with low-emissivity glazing, you can improve the energy efficiency of your home, cut your monthly bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
As well as making cost savings by installing energy efficient glass, you also make your home cosier with fewer drafts and chilly rooms. Another advantage is that it stops condensation from forming on the inside of your windows.
Plus, energy efficient glass has another key benefit. It cuts down on external noise, making your home a more peaceful place.
Understanding energy ratings
Many window manufacturers use an energy-rating scale from A++ to E to demonstrate the energy efficiency of their windows. Both the frame and glass are tested on their ability to retain heat.
British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC) runs this scheme, and you should look for the BFRC rating when choosing energy efficient windows. Windows with an energy rating will have their u-value displayed on their energy label. Windows that let out more heat have higher u-values than ones that retain heat, which have lower values.
Typical savings from energy efficient windows
According to the Energy Savings Trust, by installing double glazing to windows in an entirely single-glazed property, you could save the following each year:
- £115 savings by installing AA+ glass in a detached house
- £105 to £110 savings if you use A+ glass in a semi-detached property
- £105 savings on installing A rated glass in a mid-terrace house
If you’re planning to replace existing windows, it’s worth investing in the most energy efficient windows that you can afford. You will soon recoup your investment by cutting the cost of your fuel bills.
Another advantage of installing energy efficient glass is that it will be reflected on the energy performance certificate that’s required when you sell your home. A property that’s fully fitted with energy efficient glass has added appeal to potential buyers. | <urn:uuid:82061473-6ca1-4798-bbc0-d59b552295d2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.excellentwindows.com/what-is-energy-efficient-glass/ | 2023-10-03T13:51:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.93063 | 640 |

So you’re running a start-up that targets corporate clients. All you need is a few corporate signatures on that paper, and all of a sudden you’ll have a sky-rocketing business with an exciting guaranteed revenue stream every month, right? Right… But it’s not quite that easy.
Maybe you decided against a B2C (Business to Consumer model) because the marketing spend to win over one consumer at a time was not worth it, or that the South African consumer market is not big enough in your industry, or that it’s better to get 10 paying corporates rather than a million paying individuals. You’re not alone, and you’re not wrong.
Both models have their major pros and their major cons. Trust me, I know. But here are some of the learnings I’ve had by pursuing the B2B model.
The pitch: Anything other than a resounding ‘yes’ is likely a ‘no’
First step is to get the pitch. There is a huge temptation to go about it as passively as possible, hoping that the deal will fall in your lap with a well written email. Reality is a little different however. To secure most pitches, a combination (or all) of in-person approach, phone call, linked-in message and email could be required. Once you’ve secured the pitch, book it in both parties’ calendars and hope that there’s no last minute cancellation. The exciting part awaits.
The sad fact of human nature is that people don’t always say what they mean, or mean what they say. Possibly it’s because we don’t like to hurt each other, or it’s because we avoid uncomfortable discussion as if it’s the plague.
Whatever the reason, it’s quite rare to receive “hard no’s”. The reality is that after a pitch, anything other than a resounding yes, or a “when can we start”, or “where can I sign?”, is likely to be a soft no; they have no interest in doing business with you. The entrepreneurial spirit is one that looks at the positive in everything, so it could be very dangerous for a glass half-full entrepreneur to receive a soft no, because this person will very much believe the deal is still alive.
Once again, trust me, I know. I recommend tempering the enthusiasm by looking out for any sign of an excuse during the pitch, and addressing it then and there. You know how hard you worked to get that meeting – so make sure you leave with no question unanswered, knowing that you did everything you could to win that business, or learnt everything you could to enhance your product, service or pitch to win future business. If you don’t get their business, it just means you didn’t get their business right now. Extract the positives and move forward.
1. Balance patience & momentum: They don’t operate like start-ups
It’s often said that a corporate is the most important thing to a startup, but a startup is far from the most important thing to a corporate.
As start-ups or SMMEs, we just have to accept that. Where we would respond to an email in a heartbeat, it may take our corporate contact 2 weeks to respond; especially if they are decision-maker. They don’t need our business, but we need theirs. As such, it’s important to remember when following up on a successful pitch that they are big, they are busy, and they have multiple balls being juggled at once. It’s likely that our proposition is the least important to them, and may be seen as a luxury.
Remember, they didn’t pursue you, you pursued them. So we have to be patient. But this is the difficult part; we have to balance patience with the desire to keep momentum. It’s an oft-said phrase that “time kills deals”. As start-ups, we need to be respectful that our prospective client is busy, but also very direct and honest with them in terms of our position and our goals and objectives.
If we are direct about when we want to conclude a deal and why, it could scare them away, or it could lead to them prioritising the deal as a priority. Either way, it’s better to know where you stand rather than have something drag on in that mythical pipeline for months or years as false hope.
2. Their emails are not their priority
After the pitch, it’s easy to get in an unhealthy pattern. That pattern could look something like this: Send follow up documents directly after the pitch; hear nothing back from the prospective client; send a follow-up email the following week; hear nothing back; send another follow-up email the following week; hear nothing back; send another follow-up email the following week etc. into perpetuity until you go crazy and re-apply for your old job.
I have learnt that busy decision-makers in the corporate environment don’t just sit at their desk all day reading and responding to emails. They’re on the move, in important meeting after important meeting, flying to London followed by a quick trip to Doha and then 10 days in New York. They’re not setting the wheels in motion in response to your proposal in that spare 30 minutes in the airport.
As such, when they are available, you need their full attention and you need to get them to commit to the next step. Either a phone call or in-person visit is effective with this. Getting through to them and asking them the difficult questions about the next step is the only way to be top of mind, and to find out if they are serious about this deal or not.
From my learnings, I recommend emails as secondary to the phone call as a way of confirming what was discussed over the phone in terms of next steps.
3. Improve the product / service – become irresistible
With all else said, there is only one way to consistently increase chances of getting a deal over the line. That is, simply, have an incredible product or service that solves a real problem. If you have pitch after pitch where the response is luke-warm, you should ask them before leaving “what would this product have to do / look like for you to sign up right now?”.
Once you’ve had a few meetings like this, you will understand exactly what your market needs. If you build that product or service that the market craves, you’ll be turning away clients because the demand for your business will be so high. Become indispensable. Build something so good that your clients would be crazy to say no to.
4. Build a pipeline
Your business should never rely on one client saying yes. Putting too much emphasis on one deal will make you desperate, and desperation is the easiest way to scare someone away – relationship, business or anything else. Your market should be big enough that a rejection here and there is water under the bridge and simply a learning.
Closing one deal will provide a proof of concept and credibility that can be leveraged to close the next deal. Each subsequent client should, in theory, be easier to win than the previous one.
Finally, if the product or service is constantly being enhanced according to the market’s needs, if there are enough clients in the pipeline, and if the follow-ups after a great pitch are being done effectively, deals should go through systematically. At the end of the day, closing a deal shouldn’t feel like hard work. The best way to win business is by building a great business that solves real problems. | <urn:uuid:42b1fa55-e077-48b4-ba1d-e7d50039032f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.experthub.info/launch/starting-a-business/selling-to-a-corporate-the-b2b-battlefield/ | 2023-10-03T13:24:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.964664 | 1,627 |
E-Discovery is the process of collecting and exchanging electronically stored information (ESI) that is requested during the discovery phase in civil litigation. The need for a well devised e-Discovery process for litigation stems from the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP), as several of these rules directly impact the e-Discovery process. The Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) was developed in 2005 to help create best practices and guidelines for attorneys, e-Discovery vendors, and anyone working within the e-Discovery field. The EDRM project has become the de-facto standard for navigating through the e-Discovery process and helping to adhere to the federal laws governing it. Further information regarding the EDRM model and projects can be found at www.edrm.net.
There are 9 phases in this model, which begins with the Information Management phase and ends with the Presentation phase. While these two phases are very important in e-Discovery, it is the middle seven phases that will be the focus of this article.
The Identification phase of the EDRM helps to determine the potential locations of ESI for the discovery plan. The most common locations for potential ESI that may need to be preserved are hard drives of custodian computers, e-mail, network home shares, network group or department shares, backup tapes, and external media such as CD/DVD's or flash drives. Other less common locations would be structured databases, documents in collaboration tools such as SharePoint, and instant message chat logs. During this phase the legal team may interact with the client's IT team and outside consultants to perform an early case assessment which will help to uncover additional locations of potentially relevant ESI and possible additional custodians who were not initially identified. Conducting interviews with key custodians, reviewing e-mail conversations, and sampling data from initially identified ESI locations are different techniques used while performing an early case assessment during the Identification phase to determine what needs to be preserved and collected.
The Preservation phase is where the duty to preserve evidence is initiated; preservation should begin when possible litigation is reasonably anticipated. The litigation hold management process is essential to ensure that the correct custodians and information were part of the collection process. As custodians may be added or removed from a matter based on the investigations during the Identification and Preservation phases this could require additional holds to be sent out or the hold to be removed from a custodian.
Litigation hold management includes maintaining accurate records of when the notices were sent, acknowledged by the custodian and Information Technology (IT) department, and the hold was removed. The company's IT department will also need to receive a copy of the litigation hold for each custodian as they will need to help ensure all information management and document retention policies are suspended for each custodian to ensure the data and its related metadata is not deleted or corrupted.
Metadata is essentially detailed information about an electronic file. Some of this information can be seen and edited by an individual when creating or using an electronic file, whereas other metadata is generated by the computer or application that created or used the file. Some examples of user created metadata are the document properties in Microsoft Office Word documents like author and title, while examples of computer or system generated metadata are the date and time a file was created, modified, and accessed.
The duty to preserve potentially relevant documents and its metadata is not one taken lightly by the courts. Sanctions have been levied in cases where a party does not fully comply with the discovery request. The examples of sanctions that have been brought against a party when preservation of requested data has not been effective have ranged from attorney fees and costs to awards in excess of $20 million dollars as in the case of Zubulake v. UBS Warburg. While the duty of preserving ESI is determined during the preservation phase, this data will not actually be captured until the Collection phase.
During the Collection phase, the ESI petitioned for in the discovery request is acquired. There are different methods of collecting ESI, some of which are self-collection and forensic imaging methods. Self-collection refers to individual custodians manually copying files or forwarding emails that they believe are relevant based on the litigation hold notice they received. This method can be used effectively for basic data sampling purposes during the Identification phase for early case assessment, as it is a very low cost method. For use as a complete collection method, self-collection may be very risky for several reasons: custodians may unknowingly or knowingly not forward all of their relevant data, the metadata of the files can possibly be altered during the collection, and the chain of custody documentation may not be complete.
In contrast, there are two methods of forensic imaging collection, which are generally performed by a third party vendor: the full forensic disk collection and the targeted forensic collection. Each of these methods consists of creating a forensically sound container to hold all of the data and its associated metadata.
A forensic image is a bit by bit copy of the entire physical media, where even the operating system (OS) related files and inactive data such as the unallocated disk space can be collected and preserved. The unallocated disk space of a hard drive consists of the area of hard disk where data has either not been written to, or that has been deleted and/or overwritten and is generally not accessible to a normal user. A full forensic disk collection may be necessary in cases related to trade secret misappropriation or intellectual property theft where in-depth forensic analysis may need to be performed due to a concern as to how the data was used.
A targeted forensic collection is a bit by bit copy of specifically targeted files from a custodian's computer or a network location. All of the metadata for each file that is collected is still forensically preserved, but the OS files and the unallocated space of the drive is generally not collected and preserved. A targeted forensic collection can help reduce the amount of data that will need to be processed and reviewed. Generally the targeted forensic collection can be performed over the network which allows custodians to retain the use of their computers and reduces down time and helps to mitigate business interruption.
Although both forensic imaging processes are typically more expensive because trained forensic professionals are required to perform a collection of this type, it is a lower risk method since chain of custody is created and maintained throughout, all metadata is preserved, and a hash value is automatically created not only for the individually collected files, but for the forensic image file as well. A hash value can be thought of as a digital fingerprint, and is used to determine whether two files are exact duplicates of one another. There are two main types of hash values that are commonly used during the e-Discovery process, MD5 or SHA-1. Both of these hash values are calculated by a mathematical algorithm that examines the content of a file and generates the value based on that content. When a file has any data added or deleted the hash value of that file will change.
The Preservation and Collection phases can be conducted simultaneously; as soon as the litigation hold for a custodian has been issued the collection can begin. Also the preservation and collection of ESI on network shares can begin as soon as they are identified. It is essential for attorney's to maintain an active and open dialog with their e-Discovery vendors and clients during the collection phase as it helps to ensure that the e-Discovery process stays on track, and on budget, while the teams are in a better position to handle any unexpected issues or concerns that may arise.
In the Processing phase the collected ESI is indexed, searched, and de-duplicated based on the requirements necessary for the litigation to reduce the number of non-relevant documents before the Review phase begins. There are several different methods that can be used during the processing phase to reduce the data set such as date range searching, keyword searching, removing known operating system files, and de-duplication. The metadata for the ESI can be extracted, indexed and searched during this phase as well.
Keyword searching is the most common method used to find documents pertaining to the subject of the litigation. The use of keywords searching and the terms to be used for searching are generally discussed and agreed upon during the Rule 26(f) Meet and Confer session. Some common keyword search techniques that can be used are Boolean, proximity, and stemming. Boolean searching uses the AND, OR, NOT operators to locate the specific keywords in a document, while proximity searching is the ability to search for keywords that appear within a certain number of words from each other in a document. Stemming allows for the grammatical variations of a keyword to be found.
While searching techniques can drastically reduce the amount of ESI that is filtered to the Review phase, it will not eliminate the need for attorneys to physically review documents that have met search criteria.
During the Review phase, ESI that has passed the filtering criteria from Processing is reviewed by the attorneys for privilege status, responsiveness and relevance to the litigation, and whether any redactions should be performed prior to the production of the files to the other party. An e-Discovery document review is usually performed as native file review or TIFF/PDF based review and can be done in a web based application or in a desktop based application.
A native file review allows the attorneys reviewing the ESI to see the data within its original application format such as Excel. However email files are generally converted to an html based file format for a native review. One downside to a native file review is the possibility that the metadata for the file can be changed when opened natively by a reviewer. To safeguard against this problem, most electronic hosting review platforms can place documents in a read only status, so that if the files are opened natively the metadata is not changed.
A TIFF/PDF review is where all of the documents have been converted to an image file, such as a PDF or TIFF. This type of review assures that the metadata of the original ESI cannot be altered but it does not allow the reviewer to see the file in its native application. Another type of review is a non-responsive document review which consists of reviewing a sample of the documents that are considered non-responsive by either the keyword culling, or by the review team. This is a good practice because it allows the lead attorney to verify that critical concepts are not being missed during the review, because a document may not contain a specific keyword but may still relate to the litigation. If a high number of documents are found to be responsive during this type of review, it may require a change in the culling techniques or a change of directive for the review team.
The Analysis phase of the EDRM should be taking place concurrently with Review. During Analysis, higher level attorneys or subject matter experts are needed to evaluate the processed data as this phase requires superior knowledge of the litigation subject matter. Analysis is not a stand-alone phase as it is iterative in nature; it works in conjunction with the Processing and Review phases until all of the data has been processed and reviewed.
There are different technologies such as concept searching tools that can be used to help bring forth key concepts and subject matter in the ESI. Concept searching enables a reviewer to examine the collected ESI for the meaning of phrases and the documents' subject matter, not just a specific word. It can be a powerful tool that is used to uncover relevant documents or potential keywords that may not have been found using a traditional keyword search. As with all of the culling techniques discussed, no method is perfect, but when used in conjunction with attorney analysis and review they can provide time and cost savings during the e-Discovery process.
The Production phase is tied to different FRCP Rules, which provide the guidelines to determine how, when, and what information is to be produced in response to a discovery request. Rule 34(b) allows for the requesting party to specify how the ESI should be formatted and how it will be produced to them. Types of possible ESI production are paper, native file or image file based.
- A paper based production requires that all of the relevant ESI be printed and produced to the other party. Due to the possibility of a large volume of data from a discovery request, the cost of printing all documents could be extensive.
- A native file based production contains the producible documents in an electronic format with additional electronic files containing formatting information.
- An image file based production is where the producible document is generally a PDF or TIFF image file. Image file is currently the most common type of production, as it easily allows for both the redaction of the documents without altering the native file, and allows the other party to easily ingest the files into their system.
With both the native file and image based productions, the data is generally stored in a load file which can contain the metadata, extracted text and formatting information of ESI being produced. Rule 26 also discusses when the producible data should be delivered to the requesting party. Options for delivery of the data included as a final production or a rolling production.
- The final production occurs after all of the collected data has been searched, reviewed and is delivered at one time to the requesting party.
- A rolling production allows the documents to be produced to the requesting party at different stages. This method can be used to provide data sampling, small test runs to ensure the requesting party has no concerns with the received data format, and the prioritization of custodian data.
The timing and production methods are generally agreed upon during the 26(f) conference but may be modified in a Rule 16(b) scheduling order issued by the court. The purpose of the Rule 16(b) scheduling order is to detail the time necessary to complete discovery and modify its extent, file motions, amend pleadings, and assert claims of privilege or protection after the data is produced.
The e-Discovery process like so many other processes has many techniques and technologies that can be used during the various phases to reduce the initial high volume of data to a smaller set of files, based on relevancy and privilege, which may ultimately reduce the time and cost of attorney review.
For everyone in this field it is extremely important to stay current on case law, and maintain a good understanding of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and its amendments to help ensure successfully litigated cases. Working with reputable vendors, using guidelines such as EDRM and resources such as the Sedona Conference, www.thesedonaconference.org, will allow you to navigate successfully through your e-Discovery cases to create a defendable, repeatable process and mitigate the risks associated with e-Discovery. | <urn:uuid:607c58f9-a365-45be-a9a6-cc9d910b3f20> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.experts.com/articles/introduction-to-the-ediscovery-process-by-envista-forensics | 2023-10-03T14:05:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.947972 | 3,021 |
What is the best teacher thank you letter?
The best thank yous are ones that are as specific as possible. Think of something you’ll always remember about the teacher and the class. Thank them for a specific time that they helped you. Tell them about an activity that you did that you really liked. I’ve received many thank you letters from students over the years. Occasionally, we begin to forget which student was which, but if you write a specific letter, we’ll remember you for many years and will always appreciate your nice note. Here’s one I received: “Thank you very much for teaching the class. I am glad I chose to attend it. It helped me a lot. I got a lot from the writing part, which was my weakest area. Although the work during and after class was hard, I am enjoying the results. I will try my best on the exam. Best wishes in the future! | <urn:uuid:4a87201c-da7d-475e-9f74-41d0cc456345> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.experts123.com/q/what-is-the-best-teacher-thank-you-letter.html | 2023-10-03T13:08:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.990192 | 195 |
If you are looking to take your yuletide celebrations to the next level, look no further than a yacht share vacation in the Med, providing the perfect opportunity to treat your family and spend quality time together on your own beautiful yacht, surrounded by the ocean. Christmas in the Mediterranean is a chance to tour the region’s most stunning locations out of the summer high season, when they are quieter and have a certain magic about them, and this is still possible from the safety of your boat this winter. Below, discover three spots that are certain to bring you glad tidings this holiday season.
Where to go for a very merry Christmas in the Mediterranean?
The French Riviera
Christmas in the Mediterranean Monaco
December on the Cote d’Azur is typically bright and sunny, meaning the light is perfect for taking in the breathtaking views that this part of the world has to offer. Temperatures are typically mild and tend to range between average lows of 9°C and average highs of 13°C, ideal for long walks on the beach or strolls to admire the beautiful decorations dotted throughout the towns and villages. At this time of year, the colours of the sea are beautiful, ranging from jade and cerulean to azure and Prussian blue, and these can be viewed from the moment you wake up on your Mediterranean yacht charter.
This year, there will not be the festive markets and events that are typically held across the country, and bars and restaurants will not be open. However, you can still enjoy French culinary delights and wines from the comfort of your yacht. Why not have your private chef whip up a traditional Christmas fare - perhaps roast turkey or roast goose with chestnuts, or oysters, foie gras, lobster, venison and local cheeses, all paired with wine from local vineyards. Don’t forget the bûche de Noël for dessert!
Where to go? Nice, St Tropez and Monaco all offer beautiful backdrops for a yuletide celebration away from home.
The Balearic Islands
Christmas in the Mediterranean The Baleric Islands
Temperatures in the Balearics are typically warm to mild in December, ranging between 9°C and 16°C, making for a warmer Christmas than many of us are used to. While the sea will be cold, there is nothing to stop you from enjoying some exhilarating watersports - your crew can ensure there are thick winter wetsuits onboard and will take you to exquisite secluded coves, ideal for everything from paddle boarding, snorkeling and diving to wakeboarding, water skiing and jet skiing.
On Mediterranean yacht share here, there are several festive treats you must try, including various types of artisan turrón (nougat), peix de pasta reial (freshly made pasta), coconut sweets and cinnamon biscuits. To embrace the island’s foodie traditions on the big day, start with sopa rellena (a ‘stuffed’ turkey soup) before feasting on a suckling pig.
Where to go? The four main islands Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera are not to be missed.
Christmas in the Mediterranean Croatia
Croatia has its own unique festive customs and traditions that should be experienced at least once in a lifetime, making it the ideal place for a festive Mediterranean yacht charter. Temperatures are typically mild, ranging between 7°C and 13°C, making for ideal walking and hiking weather.
Once again, exquisite local delicacies can be whipped up by your Mediterranean yacht charter chef - around Christmas these include Makovnjača (poppy seed rolls), roasted turkey, duck or goose accompanied by Sarma (cabbage rolls filled with rice and minced pork meat). In some regions, it is instead tradition to make a beef stew, homemade Mlinci (flatbread pasta), or roast suckling pig.
Taking a stroll through town, you’ll see public squares and homes adorned in glittering decorations, and perhaps catch the intoxicating scent of mulled wine spiced with cinnamon and cloves. Don’t leave without trying a Fritule - a Croatian doughnut-like festive pastry eaten at this time of year.
Where to go? Split offers pretty cobbled streets and living history, Rijeka means stunning architecture on a hillside.
If this article has inspired you to spend Christmas in the Mediterranean, why not treat yourself and your family to a yacht share holiday, allowing you to safely explore the Med from the privacy of your own luxury vessel. | <urn:uuid:473f68fb-a99c-446f-93ef-e285633a63c3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.extratimeout.com/trip/enjoy-a-magical-christmas-in-the-mediterranean.html | 2023-10-03T14:41:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.932043 | 949 |
Health: Namutumba Clinic
There is no health clinic in Namutumba, which means that for all medical issues--from allergic reactions or bacterial infections to permanent disabilities or pregnancy and birth--residents are often forced to go without care. Ezra Uganda hopes to build a village health facility and to supply it with funding for supplies and nursing staff.
Jewish Life: Synagogue Grounds
With Ezra Uganda's help, the Namutumba Synagogue provides Shabbat and holiday meals to the community. The synagogue also hosts Torah studies, Passover seders, and serves as a central gathering place. On these occasions, there is often too little comfortable space to go around; the sun is very hot without shade, and the grounds do not fit everyone. The community seeks to buy the land next to the synagogue, clear it of debris and dead plants, and plant trees for shade and a community garden to grow shared crops. Chairs and mobile tents are also needed to give worshippers a place to gather and eat after synagogue prayers.
Infrastructure: Village Wi-Fi
Most residents of Namutumba have no way to access the internet. There is no wi-fi, and few in the community are able to afford phones, making information and news difficult to access. Ezra Uganda Assistance hopes to partner with organizations working to provide internet access to rural villages around the world and extend the project to the Abayudaya of Namutumba.
Infrastructure: Modern Plumbing & Clean Water
The village of Namutumba has no running water and lacks modern plumbing. This can contribute greatly to the proliferation of disease. The community needs a new borehole to be drilled near the synagogue to allow for more central access to clean water, and for the eventual construction of underground plumbing pipes in the vicinity.
Ezra Uganda Assistance successfully vaccinated the entire village of Namutumba against COVID-19 and administered booster shots. But there are other diseases--such as typhus, yellow fever, and typhoid--that still plague the community. We hope to be able to vaccinate the whole village against these diseases as well.
Jewish Life: Supplies for Jewish Observance
The Namutumba synagogue has few prayer-books and chumashim (bible text and translation) and even fewer tallitot (prayer shawls) and tefillin (phylacteries). The community is always in need of these and other supplies for Jewish ritual observance, such as chanukiot (eight-branch candelabras for Channukah), mezuzot (sacred door markers), and Hebrew learning books. Ezra Uganda plans to collect and transport these items to Uganda.
Jewish Life: Jewish Cemetery
Jewish law requires that Jews bury their dead in Jewish cemeteries, away from residential areas. The Jewish community of Namutumba has no cemetery, so members are responsible for finding and purchasing the plots of land necessary for burying their deceased. Plots are expensive and difficult to come by, so the bereaved must often take what they can get and perform burials themselves, which forces them to flout Jewish custom. Ezra Uganda hopes to fund and build a fenced Jewish cemetery where the Abayudaya of Namutumba can bury those who pass on in a safe, kosher manner.
Infrastructure: Solar Power for Family Homes
Ezra Uganda Assistance has provided solar panels for the community school, the synagogue, and many family homes in Namutumba. As the community grows, more makeshift homes are built--all without electricity. Ezra Uganda hopes to provide solar panels to the rest of the Jewish homes in the village, allowing them access to electricity.
Education: Schooling for All
Ezra Uganda Assistance has helped to build the Tikkun Olam School in Namutumba, funded much of the training of the village rabbi, and begun funding the medical education of a local young lady who will one day be the village nurse. But there is still more to do: all of the village children need supplies and learning materials, and there are quite a few adults still struggling with illiteracy. We hope to raise enough funds to provide all of Namutumba's Jewish children a Jewish and a secular education; to eliminate illiteracy in the community; to allow the rabbi--and a local cantor--to obtain official ordination; and to sponsor the rest of the nursing student's studies.
Jewish Life: Synagogue A/V
As the Jewish community of Namutumba grows, so do the needs of its synagogue. Ezra Uganda hopes to provide audio-visual equipment to the synagogue in order to allow the growing number of worshippers to hear and follow along in services.
Jewish Life: Jewish Youth Camp
When school is out, Namutumba children have little to bring them together and allow them to socialize safely. The community seeks to found a Jewish summer camp on the synagogue grounds that will draw Jewish youth from all over the country. Ezra Uganda hopes to help build facilities and fund the necessary supplies and staff.
Infrastructure: Oxen & Plows
Ezra Uganda Assistance has provided 10 pairs of oxen and plows to the community, allowing members to farm more effectively. These oxen and plows are shared between more than a hundred families, and more are needed to help the village sustain itself. | <urn:uuid:b15e9bc4-49f2-48ec-8573-83ba290e76c4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ezrauganda.org/projects-2-2 | 2023-10-03T12:49:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.944178 | 1,115 |

Interesting tidbits from my email inbox and life in general:
Leave it to the USDA to both hand out advice and then retract it for all the wrong reasons.
The message seemed innocuous enough, coming as it did from the federal agency tasked with promoting sustainable agriculture and dietary health: “One simple way to reduce your environmental impact while dining at our cafeterias,” read a United States Department of Agriculture interoffice newsletter published on its Web site this week, “is to participate in the ‘Meatless Monday’ initiative.”
Hmmm, I think the writer for the New York Times might be showing a teensy bit of bias here. The message may be “innocuous” to her, but to me it’s just plain stupid. The idea that raising cattle causes global warming is even more bogus than the “science” produced by the ClimateGate crowd. And just because the USDA is “tasked” with promoting sustainable agriculture and dietary health, that doesn’t mean they’re actually doing either. Is subsidizing farmers to overproduce wheat and corn sustainable? Are the USDA dietary guidelines based on actual science? No and no. I’m surprised the writer doesn’t argue that Meatless Mondays must be a good idea just because so many people are going with it.
Thousands of corporate cafeterias, restaurants and schools have embraced the idea of skipping meat on Mondays in favor of vegetarian options, an initiative of the nonprofit Monday Campaign Inc. and the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health.
Look, lady, just because a bunch of goofs embrace an idea, that doesn’t mean it’s a good one. Countless cafeterias, restaurants and schools also embraced the low-fat diet. Look where that got us.
But by Tuesday afternoon, amid outraged Twitter messages by livestock producers and at least one member of Congress, the agency’s “Greening Headquarters Update” had been removed. “U.S.D.A. does not endorse Meatless Monday,” a spokeswoman said in a statement. The newsletter, which covered topics like the installation of energy-efficient lights on the Ag Promenade and recycling goals, “was posted without proper clearance,” the statement said.
Let me interpret that: some vegetarian zealot at the USDA posted the article without checking with the boss first. Then the USDA caved because of political pressure, which is the wrong reason to cave on anything. Bad advice, withdrawn for the wrong reason.
The folks at PETA reacted to the USDA brouhaha by cementing their reputation as a bunch of vegan lunatics:
PETA upped the ante Thursday, jumping headfirst into a feud involving the Department of Agriculture, the meat lobby and Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley.
In response to a controversial tweet — now retracted — by the USDA in support of the “Meatless Mondays” program, Grassley Tweeted he was planning on eating an extra helping of meat in order to “compensate for stupid USDA recommendation about a meatless Monday.”
But on Thursday, PETA posted a scathing missive on its website, bemoaning the fact that the senior senator is apparently “anxious to show his campaign contributors that he will fight to the death (literally, perhaps) over Americans’ right to be sick and fat.”
I used to be fat and sick. That was during my vegetarian phase.
The post, written by Alisa Mullins, continues on to say: “We’re taking bets (place yours in the comments section below) on how long it will take Sen. Grassley to succumb to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or some other meat-related disease.”
So those are all meat-related diseases, are they? Well, let’s see … Senator Grassley is 78 years old and hasn’t succumbed to a meat-related disease yet. I wonder if PETA would mind if we had placed bets on when these vegetarian celebrities would die:
George Harrison – died of lung cancer at age 58
Robin Gibb – died of liver and colon cancer at age 62
Linda McCartney – died of breast cancer at age 56
Davey Jones – died of heart disease at age 66
Steve Jobs – died of pancreatic cancer at age 56
Bob Marley – died of malignant melanoma at age 36
Apparently it’s not necessary to actually eat meat to die of a meat-related disease.
I’ve read about plenty of bad scientists, but this guy should win some sort of prize:
Dr. Yoshitaka Fujii seems well on his way to becoming the patron saint of scientific fraudsters, setting a record for the most extensive output of fake data. As near as anyone can work out, Fujii started making up data with abandon some time in the 1990s. By 2000, his fellow researchers were already on to him, publishing a comment in which they noted, “We became skeptical when we realized that side effects were almost always identical in all groups.”
But you can’t let such skepticism from your peers slow you down—and Fujii certainly didn’t. Even after the comment was published, two different medical schools hired him as a faculty member. He continued to publish, generally using faked data, racking up an eventual record of 200+ bogus papers.
An investigation later determined that out of 212 studies published by Fujii, only three were based on actual data. His specialty was anesthesia. With such an amazing ability to simply fabricate research, I’m surprised he wasn’t in the nutrition field.
This was an observational study, so we don’t want to make too much of it. But the results were certainly interesting:
The atmosphere of doom, blame and guilt has grown pretty thick around the subject of obesity these days, in case you hadn’t noticed. In documentaries, public health warnings and, increasingly, in their doctors’ offices, obese Americans hear a drumbeat of bad news and reproach. Among the most alarming of the warnings: Obesity will almost certainly cut short these Americans’ lives.
A new study, just published in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, says that may not be exactly true. The study, which tracked 50,994 Americans between the ages of 19 and 90 for a total of six years, suggests that obesity itself may not be a harbinger of impending death: Rather, hypertension and type 2 diabetes — admittedly common fellow travelers to obesity — make people more likely to die in the near term.
Put another way: At any given age, an obese person who does not have type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure is no more likely to die sometime in the next six years than is a person of the same age who is of normal weight.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: it’s not being fat that kills you. But the foods that are likely to make you fat are also likely to make you sick. You can be fat and healthy, and you can be skinny and sick.
The study deepens the body of emerging research that suggests that body mass index alone is not a terribly good predictor of an individual’s health status — and that, in some cases, carrying a little extra weight appears to confer some benefits.
In fact, the type 2 diabetes patient who is of normal weight — with a BMI between 20 and 25 — was more likely to die of any cause during the six-year study period than was a type 2 diabetes patient who was overweight or — yes — obese, the study found. And the super-thin patient with type 2 diabetes? The underweight (those with BMIs below 20) were far more likely to die during the six-year study period than their obese peers, the study found.
The authors of the study, physicians from the University of California Davis’ department of family and community medicine, acknowledge it may seem they’re splitting hairs here. After all, obesity undeniably makes type 2 diabetes and elevated blood pressure much more likely.
But people of normal, “healthy” weight — indeed even underweight people — get those diseases too. And once you know that it’s those diseases — and not obesity per se — that predict an untimely death, a physician can accurately assess which of his or her patients is at greater mortality risk and should be most aggressively treated.
If you want to live longer, spend less time obsessing with the scale and more time checking your blood sugar.
Slow progress on the knee
I’ve heard about people having surgery for a torn meniscus and walking a week later. I’m still on crutches. At a follow-up appointment today, the surgeon pulled up some before and after photos taken inside my knee during the surgery and explained why: he had to do more than the usual amount of cutting. The meniscus was frayed in several areas and one torn flap had folded under itself.
I also had some kind of thick tendon inside the knee that shouldn’t have been there. He suspects it’s been there since I was born … apparently when a fetus is developing, that tendon shrinks and goes away. Mine’s gone now because he removed it.
The bottom line is that the extra cutting means extra pain, stiffness and swelling. His guess is that if I keep up with the physical therapy exercises, I’ll be walking normally in two more weeks. Let’s hope. The crutches are a bother.
We’re leaving tomorrow for Illinois. I don’t know yet if I’ll write a post on Thursday.

Move over, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, there’s a new striker in town. And it just so happens to be Marc Bartra.
The center-back wasted no time opening his scoring account for the season curling in a brilliant goal from an impossible angle to double Dortmund’s advantage, 2-0, over VfL Wolfsburg in the first half.
Check out the wonder strike!
Perhaps an even more pleasant surprise about the goal was the creativity of Mario Gotze and Gonzalo Castro, both of whom helped set up the Bartra goal. The play went under review from the VAR but was confirmed. It also appeared VAR was not working properly, according to some reports.
Right then. Bartra appeared to be offside. The ref went to VAR but, according to Sky, the camera which judges offside isn't working. #wobbvb— DW Sports (@dw_sports) August 19, 2017
Bartra dedicated the goal to the victims of the Barcelona terror attack this past week with a simple celebratory gesture after the goal.
Current goal scoring tally for Dortmund: Bartra 1 : Aubameyang 0. Will the Gabonese international ever catch up? Probably, to be honest. Let’s hope it’s today. But until it happens, Bartra remains the goal-scoring wizard for this Dortmund side. Three points are on the way!
Friendly reminder that Marc Bartra leads Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the race for the golden boot now.— Daniel Shulman (@GlobeDanShulman) August 19, 2017 | <urn:uuid:aa5d560f-1b7b-4428-bb6a-26215dcf0f67> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.fearthewall.com/2017/8/19/16173264/watch-marc-bartra-doubles-dortmunds-lead-with-a-world-class-finish | 2023-10-03T14:45:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.933364 | 338 |
Former US judge Jeremy Fogel is passionate about giving disputants a chance to be heard
November 25, 2022 – Retired federal Judge Jeremy D. Fogel isn’t ready to quit his day job as the executive director of the Berkeley Judicial Institute, but he is enjoying the hands-on opportunity to help people resolve their disputes a little more frequently these days.
“I really like doing mediation,” Fogel said. “And I was looking for some way to keep my hand in that without in any way diminishing the work I do at Berkeley.”
Fogel described the center he heads at UC Berkeley School of Law as a combination of research and education aimed at applying an academic focus to the work judges do. Fogel has been the executive director there since 2018 and he does a fair bit of teaching – although he said his students are typically judges or people working in the judiciary, such as law clerks.
For over a decade, the leading law firms have used FedArb’s panel of more than 60 former Article III federal judges and 30 distinguished neutrals to successfully mediate and arbitrate hundreds of high profile complex civil cases–typically achieving results more efficiently and cost effectively than through litigation. FedArb’s panelists also work with law firms on internal investigations, mock trials and on corporate monitoring assignments. FedArb provides around-the-clock administrative services and requires its neutrals to honor the parties’ deadlines, saving clients time and money. | <urn:uuid:9583e6e5-1671-43a4-8802-9e7c2d4d3012> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.fedarb.com/the-human-dimension/ | 2023-10-03T15:14:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.973769 | 312 |

Washington—Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today released the following statement on the Supreme Court’s decision in NYSRPA v. Bruen that overturns New York’s “proper cause” requirement to receive a permit to carry a concealed weapon:
“By striking down a century-old New York law requiring ‘proper cause’ to carry a concealed weapon, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority has weakened gun safety laws in eight states covering a quarter of the U.S. population. This decision could put lives at risk, and that should be of deep concern to everyone.
“The court’s decision expands the interpretation of the Second Amendment far beyond precedent, and its effect will be to prevent states from implementing commonsense licensing procedures to prevent gun violence.
“In addition to overturning New York’s concealed carry law, this decision also puts in jeopardy similar concealed carry laws in California and six other states. It means more people will carry guns in bars, in shopping malls, in churches, hospitals, movie theaters, even schools. This isn’t the way to save lives.
“In the decision, Justice Thomas writes that our gun laws must be ‘consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.’ If New York’s 100-year-old concealed carry law isn’t sufficiently grounded in historical tradition, how old must a law be to meet that standard?
“Most importantly, studies have concluded that when states weaken the permitting process for buying guns, violent crime increases, including homicides. In the wake of two massacres last month in Buffalo and Uvalde, we must do more to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people, not less. This decision is a step in the wrong direction.” | <urn:uuid:7065cdf8-89ef-4119-8ec9-b28c06daadce> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=AE8FE4F3-F54A-4685-8597-3B7CCF4010A5 | 2023-10-03T14:04:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.922887 | 384 |
Learning that your child has or may have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may be a difficult experience for a parent. There will be many thoughts and worries about the future, as well as things you must do to ensure that your child does not suffer. While we recognise that receiving an ASD diagnosis can be difficult, advances in this field have come a long way, and even people who have been diagnosed with this illness can live a long and healthy life. Following are five methods shared by Hirak Patel, Counselling Psychologist, Fortis Hospital Mulund & Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi that any parent can assist a child who has been diagnosed with Autism.
Don’t Wait For A Final Diagnosis
If a child exhibits any signs of ASD or related developmental delays, it is best to begin therapy as soon as possible. Never wait for your child to catch up or grow out of a problem. A formal diagnosis is also not required. The earlier children with Autism start treatment, the better the outcomes. Early intervention is the most efficient and effective strategy to improve a child's development and lessen Autism symptoms over time.
Give Your Child Structure And Stability
Children with Autism need consistency in their life. Children with this illness frequently struggle to apply what they have learned in one setting (such as school or a therapist's office) to others, such as at home. A child, for example, may use sign language to communicate at school but not at home. As a result, providing consistency in the learning environment is critical since it will assist them to reinforce the same behaviour in all situations. An ideal approach to achieve this is to learn from the therapist what the child is being taught and then teach the same things at home or in different settings/locations. It is equally important for the parent to remain consistent in communicating with the child and dealing with problematic behaviours such as tantrums and bad behaviour.
Reward Good Behaviour
Positive reinforcement is vital for any child, but especially for children with ASD, so strive to reward everything they do properly. Praise them for good behaviour or for quickly learning a new skill. Giving them a sticker or allowing them to play with a favourite item are also good methods to encourage acceptable behaviour.
Be A Part Of A Support Group For Parents Who Have Children With AHD
Join a parent group that supports children with AHD if you haven't already. You will build vital connections that will assist you in dealing with the difficult aspects of raising a kid with this condition. Finding parents of children with your child's level of Autism is a fantastic idea so that you can share the experience together, where you can learn about anything new and get support for the difficult periods.
Pay Attention To Your Child’s Sensory Sensitivities
The majority of ASD children are hypersensitive to light, sound, touch, taste, and smell. Some children are "over-sensitive" to sensory stimulation on the other end of the spectrum. It's critical to figure out what sights, noises, scents, motions, and tactile sensations cause your child's "poor" or disruptive behaviour. What circumstances cause them to behave appropriately? What causes your child stress, and what causes him to relax? When you understand what impacts your child, you'll be better able to foresee problems, avoid situations that cause problems, and create positive experiences for your child and family.
A Note To Parent, From The Expert
As a parent, it is vital that you take care of yourself and your health. Autism is a marathon, not a sprint; you owe it to yourself and your child to be full, healthy, and happy, so do whatever it takes. If you are feeling overwhelmed, ask for support and, if necessary, consider therapy, which provides you with a secure environment to express yourself without hurting others. | <urn:uuid:ab4509cd-e5be-422b-abb0-9e7116730dd9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.femina.in/relationships/parenting/here-are-5-ways-to-support-a-child-with-autism-234375.html | 2023-10-03T13:22:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.952098 | 787 |
Fine lines and wrinkles affect everyone as the years go by — no matter how rigorous your skin care routine might be. But if you’re bothered by deepening wrinkles, you don’t have to live with them.
Nawo K. Fiamo, ARNP, and our team at Fiamo Aesthetics specialize in injectables like Juvéderm® to combat these signs of aging without resorting to invasive procedures. Injectable wrinkle treatments are consistently one of the most requested cosmetic procedures in the country, and here’s why.
Injectable wrinkle treatments have a proven track record of reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Juvéderm tackles wrinkles that form due to loss of fat and sagging skin.
The injections replace lost volume under your skin to fill in lines and create more youthful contours. You can get Juvéderm injections almost anywhere, from under your eyes to around your lips.
A major reason that injectables are so popular is because treatment is quick and minimally invasive. Unlike surgical procedures, injectables don’t require incisions, general anesthesia, or downtime.
We administer injectables in our office, and each treatment takes just a few minutes. That means you can treat wrinkles during your lunch break and return to your daily activities immediately afterward.
Injectable wrinkle treatments are quick. We apply a topical anesthetic before making the injections, so discomfort is typically minimal. And unlike some other aesthetic treatments, the results of injectable wrinkle treatments are noticeable shortly after treatment. In fact, your results are visible immediately when you get Juvéderm.
Another advantage of injectable wrinkle treatments is the ability to customize treatment to suit your specific needs. Before treatment, we discuss your aesthetic goals and tailor your dosage and injection placement to address your specific concerns.
Whether you’re seeking a subtle improvement or you want a liquid facelift effect, we customize injectable wrinkle treatments to help you achieve the look you desire.
Injectable wrinkle treatments provide impressive results, and you can enjoy those results for a long time. Depending on your treatment and your skin, Juvéderm can last two years or longer.
But although they’re long-lasting, injectables aren’t permanent. That means you can modify your injectable treatment plan if your aesthetic preferences change, and we’re here to help you keep your skin looking rejuvenated over time.
Are you looking for a way to treat fine lines and wrinkles? Injectable wrinkle treatments are a great option, and they could be right for you.

In the property industry, virtual data bedrooms help organizations streamline production and fiscal transactions and perform due diligence. They also offer repository capabilities to keep an easy-to-navigate record of past developing and monetary transactions. Shareholders can even use a VDR to compare ethosdata data room investment opportunities and make decisions.
Apart from reducing the amount of time spent on a project, a well-prepared VDR minimizes the risk of very sensitive information staying revealed to illegal individuals and potential disputes of interest. Hence, it is important that every file stored in an information room happen to be organized and simply accessible. Setting up a file composition using directories and subfolders is one of the best ways to try this. Moreover, a data room ought to include a search function to ensure that all the documents are easily retrieved quickly and effortlesly.
Another device that a data room will offer is QUESTION AND ANSWER abilities, which will allow administrators to efficiently set up and deal with questions and answers in the platform. They can sort the questions based on folders, categories, and/or confidentiality levels, and they can also set goal levels. In this manner, they can make sure that the most hitting questions are addressed first of all, and it also facilitates them keep tabs on responses. | <urn:uuid:51ad2dc4-feb9-43c0-8daf-15cf164b804a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.fietsendeglas.be/what-sort-of-data-place-reports-towards-the-real-estate-sector/ | 2023-10-03T13:08:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.94158 | 260 |
I'm a small-town Idaho farm boy who has always held onto big dreams of changing the world. Those dreams started coming to fruition during my time in college. There I had my first opportunity to start, grow and then sell a small business. Using those skills I organized and directed a team in creating my university's first peer mentoring program. That was a lot to tackle with a full course load. But volunteering introduced me to the nonprofit world, and I ended up donating my time to more than 10 of them over that 3-year span. among other things, I painted toys, gathered prepared, and served food and supplies, spoke at events, led multiple teams of over 300 volunteers, helped draft and pass legislation, made visits to the United Nations, and enjoyed a mission experience. It was through all of this that I realized, while the big trips and events were often more glamorous, impacting another person’s life for good on an individual level felt more meaningful. Handing a water bottle to a stranger or sharing perspective with a discouraged volunteer or holding the hand of someone who didn't have anyone else. After completing my undergrad and an intensive top 10 internship with a Fortune 100 company, I continued to pursue this career as a financial advisor. And I can now tell you that I feel like I am living my dream every day. The work with nonprofits has continued as I now sit on multiple boards and committees, donate time as a consultant, and volunteer at events. My wife and I started our little family in 2021 and I enjoy spending time with my wife, our new son, and our daughter more than anything. I still make time for outdoor rock climbing, lifting heaving things at the gym, sonic runs, skiing, grilling delicious meat, and occasionally reading a good book. And I still somehow try to sleep 8 hours a night.

Cannabis farmers markets are becoming increasingly popular as more states legalize marijuana. These events bring together cannabis enthusiasts, vendors, and growers to showcase products, share knowledge and network within the cannabis community. Here's a closer look at what a cannabis farmers market is, and why they're worth exploring, especially ours, The Finger Lakes CannaMarket.
What is a Cannabis Farmers Market?
Cannabis farmers markets are events where growers and vendors come together to market their products directly to consumers. These events offer a unique opportunity to learn about different cannabis strains, products, and consumption methods, as well as connect with the cannabis community. At The Finger Lakes CannaMarket we showcase legacy growers from Upstate NY. We feature a wide variety of vendors, including growers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.
The Benefits of a Cannabis Farmers Market
Cannabis farmers markets have a lot of benefits for both vendors and consumers. Some of the most significant advantages of attending a cannabis farmers market include:
Supporting Local Cannabis Businesses: Cannabis farmers markets give small, local businesses a chance to showcase their products and connect with customers. By attending these events, you're supporting the local cannabis community and helping to promote sustainable agriculture practices.
Sustainable Agriculture and Cannabis Cultivation: Many cannabis vendors prioritize sustainable cultivation practices and organic, natural products. By supporting these businesses, you're helping to promote sustainable agriculture and reduce environmental impact.
Exploring New and Unique Cannabis Products: Cannabis farmers markets often feature unique, hard-to-find products that you won't find in traditional dispensaries. This is a great opportunity to explore new strains, consumption methods, and accessories.
Cannabis Education and Networking: Farmers markets provide an opportunity for cannabis enthusiasts to learn from experts, ask questions, and network with others who share their passion for cannabis.
Meet the Vendors: Spotlight on Cannabis Businesses
One of the best things about cannabis farmers markets is the opportunity to meet the vendors and learn more about their products. Here are just a few examples of the types of businesses you might find at a cannabis farmers market:
Growers: These vendors specialize in cultivating cannabis plants, and may offer a variety of strains and products.
Manufacturers: These vendors create cannabis products like edibles, topicals, and concentrates.
Distributors/Retailers: These vendors market cannabis products directly to consumers.
Educators: These vendors offer educational materials or workshops related to cannabis, cultivation, or other related topics.
Tips for Attending a Cannabis Farmers Market: What to Expect and How to Prepare
Attending a cannabis farmers market can be a lot of fun, but it's important to know what to expect before you go. Here are a few tips to help you prepare:
Research the event beforehand: Make sure you know the date, time, location, and any other important details.
Dress comfortably: You may be walking around a lot, so wear comfortable shoes and clothes.
Come prepared: Bring a reusable bag to carry any products you purchase, and consider bringing snacks and water if the event is outdoors.
Be respectful: Remember that cannabis farmers markets are professional events, so treat vendors and other attendees with respect.

When you take medicine, you expect it to make you better. You do not expect it to cause you a whole different set of problems. Yet, this is precisely what some people are claiming the drug Elmiron does.
Elmiron is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat interstitial cystitis, also known as “painful bladder syndrome.” It is estimated that 12 million people live with this condition. Probably, many of them have taken Elmiron to treat it.
Research has been available since 2018, linking long term use of the drug to retinal damage. Further research in 2019 found this to be the case in 25% of people who had used it long term. The studies found pentosan polysulfate sodium (PPS), the active ingredient in Elmiron, caused the damage.
Last month, two US women filed a lawsuit against three pharmaceutical companies: Johnson & Johnson, Teva and Bayer. They allege the companies knew about the possible side effects but withheld that information from medical professionals who continued to prescribe it to their patients. A separate case was filed against Johson & Johnson in May, and there are similar lawsuits underway in Canada.
Having healthy eyes is critical to so many aspects of life. Eye damage can affect your ability to drive, work and carry out hobbies and leave you more prone to painful headaches.

The following is excerpted from , out today from Regnery Publishing.
I never, ever dreamed I would become a “person of faith.” My secular atheist childhood offered me no God, no church, no temple, no prayers, no heaven, no hell. It was like living in the song “Imagine,” but without Yoko Ono. Although we had lovely Christmas trees and all the trimmings, there was no God but Santa, and Rudolph was his messenger.
When I say we were atheists, I mean it. My mother kept a folder in her desk labeled “Religion.” She used it to store newspaper articles about church buses filled with pilgrims plummeting off cliffs. She would shake her head as she filed yet another clipping about missionaries raped and murdered by natives. The “why do bad things happen to good people” argument was her bedrock belief. “Why do little kids get brain cancer? What kind of God lets that happen? He wants it to?”
Both my mother and father were raised in the happy afterglow of postwar America in middle-class households that considered religion a dirty word. It was a backward thing their first-generation ancestors had shucked off as soon as they debarked at Ellis Island. The ones back in the old country, well, just look what happened to them: mowed down by Cossacks, chased by Vikings, persecuted by Anglicans, pogromed out of their villages, strafed by Germans—where was God then, huh?
Religion, to quote my Eastern European great-grandmother (who lived until she was well over one hundred years old), was “a big vaste of time.” When, newly widowed and grieving the death of her first child, she spotted the Statue of Liberty as she sailed into New York Harbor, she said she “threw religion into the vater. You don’t need it in de new country.” When asked her opinion of the afterlife, she would always say, “Ven you die, dey bury you and your body rrrrots!”
My great-grandmother and the other non-religious matriarchs in my family led daily lives of extreme domesticity, at advanced expert levels that no longer exist in our era. They were “scrub the floor with sponges strapped to your knees”–level domestic. “Three days making homemade dough for one thousand dumplings”–level domestic. Even my mother, despite her complete lack of faith, was a domestic extremist in every other way.
Because my European-American female ancestors overwhelmingly rejected traditional religion, within three generations their culture of extreme female domesticity was lost. When you look at grainy videos of European immigrants arriving at Ellis Island, hope shining on their faces, remember that every single one of them has an unmarried bisexual great-great-granddaughter on long-term birth control and SSRIs.
The secularized, sanitized home of my childhood left me to grope my way in darkness. I was baptized in the Church of MTV. Pop culture was my religion, and I dutifully prayed the Gospel According to Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—that is, Matthew Broderick, Mark Wahlberg, Luke Perry, and John Taylor from Duran Duran. We revered Madonna—not the virgin, the one like a virgin.
In the great black vacuum left by the absence of religion, a child will fill it with whatever cultural detritus is lying around. Maybe you’re a staunch nonbeliever, but you’re politically conservative, so you think that’s enough, right? Maybe you think that if you just teach your kids to reject contemporary feminism and vote Republican, all will be well.
I know a lot of right-wing nonbelievers, and it’s true, some have successfully indoctrinated their kids to mostly reject woke culture. But what happens in high school when their kids are invited to the polyamorous clothing-optional BDSM-themed prom? What page in the MAGA handbook tells you how to handle this? Will your subscription to Fox Nation be enough to guide your children through the minefield?
And at the end of the day, politics, even the “correct” politics, will not suffice to inoculate children against the seductions of modern culture. It won’t keep your kids off the pole, so to speak. The other side is offering your children a lifetime supply of guilt-free promiscuity, 24/7 on-demand porn, and abortion safety nets. That’s a tough offer to top. “Because I said so!” is unlikely to get them to delete Pornhub and Tinder off their phones—or never download them in the first place.
What can you, a mere mortal, do to give your children the best chance at a satisfying and happy life? Simply raise them to know they are not alone in the darkest times, that it’s not just you and your spouse, alone in a house. There are guardian angels and saints to pray to, and bedtime prayers, and stories to learn and read together. There is an ocean of comfort and resilience built into children who grow up knowing God loves them.
I didn’t have this opportunity, and folks, I made it through by the skin of my teeth. My more fortunate children will not have to cling to the sheer cliff walls above the abyss for as long as I did. Fortunately, I found God while there was still just enough time for me to execute Operation Extremely Domestic, punch in the cheat codes, respawn a few more times, and win the game with a life to spare. Please check back later to see how my dozens of grandchildren and hundreds of great-grandchildren are doing.
Recently, a true miracle actually occurred in my family. My sister, a devout secular atheist her entire life, suddenly decided to convert to Catholicism. This was a woman who rolled her eyes when I told her years ago that I was converting. “Really? You? You actually believe that stuff?” She reacted to my announcement like I’d told her I was selling my worldly possessions to join Heaven’s Gate and hitch a ride on the Hale-Bopp Comet. And yet here she was, a pagan, religion-scorning modern woman, telling me she had started reading the Bible with her children at night and was planning to start the conversion process.
For my sister, faith had appeared as a lifeline after two horrid years living under COVID restrictions in a dark blue state. Several years before the pandemic, she had suffered a catastrophic medical injury caused by a rare reaction to a commonly prescribed medicine. It caused life-altering, permanent side effects, and she must now avoid many other medications, including COVID vaccines. She’s better now and lives a mostly normal and happy life, but it shook her to her core and plunged her into a deep depression. Maybe because of that, and because of the two long years she was treated like an “anti-vax” pariah by her liberal “friends” and neighbors, her suffering finally delivered salvation—in the form of a sudden and overwhelming belief in God.
I can’t take credit for her revelation. Her children were the ones who first suggested their whole family convert. I was as shocked by this as she was when I dropped my own Jesus bomb on her. Now her kids, along with mine, will be raised with the great gift of faith.
When you raise children to believe in God, they have a final authority to answer to. Not you, not the president, not even their favorite YouTube personality, can fully control them. This is why the people in charge bleat so loudly about the dangers of “Christian nationalism” and “religious fundamentalism.” They are afraid of you laughing in their faces when they attempt to impose their dumb rules on you. Children raised to believe in God just wave these haters away. When your values, morals, and rights come from the divine, they are not up for discussion or debate. They cannot be repealed or replaced. God cannot be canceled.
Children who believe this will naturally be skeptical of politicians who make dumb decisions. They will intuitively understand that unborn children deserve to live. They will live by a moral code more compelling than anything man could ever legislate. They will be forces for good in a world breaking bad. They will be better able to resist the urge to join the mind-flayed lemmings flinging themselves by the thousands into Trans Canyon. They will have more willpower to refuse the first offer of a dangerous drug. They will be better prepared to resist the temptation to indulge in harmful sexual behaviors. They will cherish their own lives.
Faith gives children ballast. Faith gives them confidence that even while suffering, even after they die, they will be okay. Best of all, children who believe in God are much more likely to raise their own children to believe in God, thus perpetuating goodness and decency—and grandchildren for you.
Nothing is foolproof, of course. There is no guarantee that a devout child will thrive.
But it’s the best we’ve got.

Before I incorporated nutritional cleansing and nutritional rebalancing into my life I was tired, moody, withdrawn, overweight and had just about given up. After each child, it was harder to lose weight. Being an RN and a Certified Fitness Trainer I thought I could do it on my own, my way. I had tried everything, every fad diet, hitting the gym, counting calories and pretty much starving myself. I figured that I had to settle, this was life for me. I figured I would just continue to hide behind sweats and oversized clothing. While this was all going on in my head I had been watching a friend lose weight and feel great. She would try to talk to me about it and I would put her off. I would say, I can do it. One day I had enough, I thought if I could do it why hadn't I. The next 30 days changed my life. What you can't see in my 30-day transformation is that my only regret was not investing in myself sooner. | <urn:uuid:3a1902a4-a2cc-43c9-aa24-1386fa557803> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.fitbyjodie.com/health-wealth-wellness | 2023-10-03T14:19:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.995291 | 215 |

Living in an RV can feel like a dream, especially nowadays when it is never been easier just to pack up and go. Unfortunately, space is not something RVs are well known for; neither are they often revered for their kitchens.
Making space for a full stove in an RV can be an impossibility, and many of us have to resort to using smaller, usually portable cooktops. Finding the right cooktop for your RV is a difficult task – especially if you are specifically looking for induction cooktops.
That’s why we’ve put together a list of the five best RV induction cooktops in 2021.
Best RV Induction Cooktops Reviews
Here are our top picks for best RV cooktop:
1. Duxtop 1800W Portable Induction Cooktop
It devotes 83% of its power to heating. With 15 preset power levels (200W-1800W) and 15 preset temperatures (140°F-460°F), this cooktop is ideal for any cooking method. Additionally, Duxtop’s cooktop has a 170-minute timer, automatic pan detection, and overheating protection to ensure perfect, even cooking. The front LED display is large and angled, making it easy to see, even at a distance, and the five-foot cord allows for maximum portability.
The cooktop is easy to clean and scratch-resistant. It is lightweight, making it a breeze to transport and store. The only downside this cooktop has is that the fan can be a little on the loud side. For the price, reliability, and functionality, this is the best overall RV-compatible induction cooktop.
We should note that there are newer (and more expensive) models with LCD screens and safety locks, but not all of them have these features.
- Easy to use
- Easy to clean
- Easy to store
- Cooks perfectly
- The fan can be loud
2. NutriChef Double Induction Cooktop
NutriChef’s cooktop comes with a plethora of features. The cooking features include manual cooking options, preset modes for frying, steaming, boiling, and auto-warming. There is also a built-in child safety lock that prevents any of the settings from being changed by accident.
This cooktop is made of easily cleanable, stain-resistant, tempered ceramic glass that transfers heat efficiently and evenly. It can accommodate pots of roughly 5”-10” in diameter. Each burner has independent controls for both heat and time. The cooktop has a five-foot cord and measures 14.2”x23.6”.
Unlike the Duxtop, the NutriChef has an LCD (liquid crystal display) screen. This is the type of screen used in your phone, computer, or TV. It is generally easier to see. All the buttons are touch-activated rather than push.
The NutriChef runs on 120V so that you can use it in any RV. Like the Duxtop, the fan is a little on the loud side, but overall it is the best portable, two-burner induction cooktop.
- Two burners
- Presets for different cooking settings
- Safety lock
- Can be loud

- Simple design
- Can be noisy
How We Picked Induction Cooktops
There are many aspects to consider when selecting an induction cooktop for your RV. You have to look at quality, size, brand, affordability, and so much more. It can feel overwhelming at times when you have so much to consider for a simple cooktop.
Not to worry; we’ve done most of the heavy lifting for you already. We have put together a list of the five best induction cooktops for RVs, so now you can just pick by price and preference. How did we pick them? Below are the criteria we used to ensure that only the crème de la crème (a cooking pun) of cooktops were included.
We examined and ranked eat cooktop based on their size, shape, number of burners, functionality, and ratings. With these qualifiers in mind, we delivered a list of the best RV cooktops to you.
We know that living in an RV can be taxing on space management skills. Even the most minimalist person would probably have a hard time making everything work in an RV. We know that every inch of space counts; therefore, when selecting the best cooktops, size was a big (pardon the pun) consideration.
Taking this into account, we chose only the most space-conscious options. While having multiple burners is the most significant influence on size, some single burner cooktops are just unwieldy. We made sure to sort all those out for you.
If you are looking into induction cooktops for your RV, you’ve probably seen those Roomba-looking ones go by. While the burner itself is circular, having a round cooktop can be rather inconvenient when it comes to saving on counter space – not to mention they’re easier to knock pots off of. For that reason, we have only included rectangular cooktops on this list.
Number of Burners
As an RV owner, you are probably trying to save as much space as you can. Most people can make do with single-burner cooktops, and when it comes to storing them, they are often preferable.
With that in mind, we know that some RVs are larger than others and boast more counter space. As well, if you like to cook, you’ll know just how important it can be to have two pots going at once. Also, just because variety is the spice (more puns) of life, we made sure to include a two-burner cooktop option on the list.
Smoke and mirrors do not make up a good cooktop, but added functionality is never unwelcome. A simple, no-frills cooktop is fine, but if you can get one that does more for the same price, wouldn’t you want it? So long as the cooktop cooks well and is fully functional, it can be considered for this list, but cooktops with extra, valuable features generally score higher here.
There’re not many unique functions that can be added to a portable cooktop, but as you will soon see, there is a large variety in the number of options and features that these RV induction cooktops have.
We only considered well-rated RV electric cooktops for this list. All items have a 4.5/5 on Amazon among thousands of reviews completed. We want the best for you, so we did all the heavy lifting in ensuring that these cooktops are the best out there. You have our word, the manufacturers’ word, and the words of thousands of people just like you.
How Portable Cooktops Compare vs. Inset Cooktops
It goes without saying that the smaller an induction cooker is, the less powerful it will be. Most portable induction cookers have a 6”-7” induction coil – that is the bit that transfers energy to the pot or pan – while the large burners on full induction stovetops tend to be around 9”. The difference in the size of the coils means that you can use a different range of pots and pans. It also means that energy transfer differs.
You may find it difficult or downright impossible to boil a large pot of water on a portable induction cooktop. If you are looking to add an induction cooktop to your RV, chances are you don’t have room for an entire, full-sized stove and oven. When choosing an induction cooker, it is essential to consider where you will keep it.
If you have minimal counter space, you probably don’t want to sacrifice any of it for an inset cooker. On the other hand, if you lack storage space, an inset cooker can be better.
So, what are the fundamental differences between portable and inset induction cookers? For starters, there is the obvious matter of mobility. While some inset cookers are easily removable, others are fixed. If you want to take your cooker to different places or out camping, a fixed inset cooker might not be for you.
Another interesting difference between portable and inset cookers that most people fail to consider is the noise. While portable cookers can have rather loud fans, the sound is usually somewhat damped if set into a counter. Another benefit of an inset cooker is that you don’t have to worry about a power cord getting in the way of anything.
One more thing to consider is the price. Generally, the cookers are not far off in price, but if your counter does not already have a space for an inset cooker, you will need to modify it. In the end, whether you choose to use a portable or inset induction cooker comes down to a matter of preference. It is your RV; decide what works best for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
After presenting you with the best induction cooktops for RVs, we wanted to answer some of the most commonly asked questions regarding these products. As we were all taught in school, if you have a question, you are not the only one.
And even if you don’t have any questions, well, it is always nice to be well-informed anyways. Here are our answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.
This one is a particularly confusing issue. We have seen people rate cooktops lower because they didn’t include temperatures in degrees, only power. Other people are confused why most cooktops have both. Others still wonder if you should set them differently.
To answer this quandary, let us first define power and temperature in regards to induction cooktops. In short, power is the wattage of the cooktop. It is the amount of electricity it is using and the amount of energy it is thereby transferring. If the temperature shown is accurate (they’re not always perfect), that means it is a measure of the induction (the temperature of the pot or pan).
What this means is that the food is not actually at the temperature indicated. For accurate readings, you should use a thermometer that you can put in the food. For the purposes of the average user, the power and temperature mean the same thing, and therefore, cannot be set differently.
The temperature indicator on induction cooktops is ostensibly useless; it is just there for show and marketing. For the most accurate control, you should use the power setting rather than the temperature.
An induction cooktop works through the transfer of energy through electromagnetic fields, so while it may look like a hot plate, it is not. Hot plates are either gas or electric. They have open flames or elements that directly heat the pot.
An induction cooktop does not get hot like electric or gas; there is no heat in the coil, only in the pot or pan that the energy is transferred to. Additionally, induction cooktops can only be used with induction cookware and tend to heat much faster than a hot plate.
There are many benefits to induction cooking, especially in an RV. The top three are energy consumption, heat, and safety. Induction cooktops are far superior to gas or electric when it comes to energy efficiency. They will help you save power.
As induction is the transfer of energy rather than heat, not only is the energy not wasted in the transfer, but it also will not heat the inside of your RV as much. Because there is no open heat source and most induction cooktops have automatic pan detection and shut-off, the risk of a fire is significantly reduced.
Yes. Induction cooking is the transfer of heat via electromagnetic fields. For this to work, your pots and pans must all have magnetic bottoms. You can test this with a magnet, but anything with a high iron content should work. Glass, copper, ceramic, and aluminum will not. There are also pan adaptors available if you do not want to buy new cookware.
For most food splatter that gets onto your induction cooktop when you cook, you can merely wipe it away with a damp cloth. Because induction cooktops are flat glass panels, there is no place for food to get trapped and build up.
For tougher residue like oil splatter, try spraying the surface with white vinegar before sprinkling it with baking soda. Leave it for a few minutes and wipe it all off with a damp cloth. For even tougher grit, try a stove scraper and cleaner set; be careful not to scratch the surface, though.
The search is over! Congratulations, you’ve found your new RV induction cooktop. Or, perhaps you are still deliberating. In that case, let’s go over the key points one last time.
If you are looking for the best overall cooktop, try Duxtop’s.
If you want the best two-burner cooktop, we recommend NutriChef.
For the most compact option (and our favorite), iSiLER’s is terrific.
If you are shopping on a budget, Rosewill’s is best.
And finally, if you want a cooktop you can set into the counter and take anywhere, try True Inductions’.
No matter which induction cooktop you chose to bring home to your RV, we’re sure you’ll love it. Induction cooking is a wonderful way to have more precise control over your cooking, and portable cooktops are perfect for RV living; easy to store, easy to clean, and fun to use. | <urn:uuid:978e267e-5502-472d-a0a3-3443f028e66f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.foodchamps.org/best-rv-induction-cooktop/ | 2023-10-03T14:39:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.944601 | 3,364 |

Spaghetti Carbonara is one of my favourite pasta dishes! I love how creamy it is, it always amazes me how the authentic version of this dish doesn't include any cream. It's simply the starch from the pasta water combining and emulsifying with the cheese and egg yolks which creates a silky delicious sauce.
I like to use Pancetta in my recipe because its easy to get hold off, but guanciale is better if you can get your hands on it. If not, use streaky bacon.
I have listed pecorino romano here as the cheese of choice, but if you can't find that use parmesan cheese instead.
- 160 g dried spaghetti
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 80g Pancetta, diced
- 1 Handful fined grated pecorino romano
- 3 egg yolks
- 1. Cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions
- 2. Meanwhile fry the garlic in a little olive oil. Add the Pancetta and cook until crispy
- 3. In a separate bowl, add the egg yolks and mix in the cheese to make a paste
- 4. Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the frying pan with the Pancetta, scraping any crispy bits off the bottom. Turn off the heat.
- 5. Add in a ladleful of the pasta water, mix thoroughly and then add the egg yolk mixture, stirring constantly to avoid scrambling.
- 6. The starchy water will combine with the cheese and eggs and emulsify to create a really creamy sauce
- 7.

"Catapult Your Business to Fore, Gain Competitive Advantage "
Tower Crane works as a common fixture at the major construction site, used to lift, lower and move wide variety of building elements and are commonly seen at all the major residential, commercial and infrastructural construction sites. Tower cranes are beneficial as they can lift heavy loads using several movements such as jack operation, slewing, wire twisting, self-erection, self-climbing, smooth hoisting, climbing frame, and trolley movement. Major applications served by the tower cranes are heavy lifting of steel, concrete, acetylene torches and generators, and other building materials. It is widely used at construction sites, mainly residential, commercial and infrastructural sites, therefore driving the market growth in the near future. Rapid urbanization has resulted in the need for proper urban space planning and high-rise construction has served this purpose, thus expected to become a key growth factor for tower/hoisting cranes. Tower crane providers are investing in Research & Development (R&D) to come up with new and advanced products. For instance, Linden Comansa SL exhibited its latest high capacity flat-top crane model 21LC1050, in Bauma, that can load up to 50 tonnes with a high-speed hoist mechanism that can work with heaviest loads.

On May 2, 2010, an LVN based in Fort Worth failed to hire a nurse attorney because he claimed that he got nervous from receiving feedback from the Texas Board of Nursing due to having a positive drug screening result. The drug screening result shows that he was positive for using Morphine. What’s worse is not the drug screening, but so as the investigation that caused the drug test to happen in the first place.
On April 16, 2010, an inspection occurred at the hospital due to speculations that controlled substances were being taken from various patients’ medical dispensing system. They eventually found out that those dispensing systems were being taken care of a single LVN. This is where they eventually found out that the LVN was actually taking some for them but he claimed in the first place that these were emergency administrations for his patients.
However, they found out in the locker of the LVN that there were some Morphine containers stored in it, and it even has proof that it came from the patients’ medical dispensing systems. The said actions could have defrauded the patients of the cost of medication on their hospital bill. Additionally, the use of the controlled substance may impair their performance at work.
The severity of the issue caused the Texas Board of Nursing to place the LVN’s nurse license into revocation. A hearing was still conducted, but the LVN never provided a good defense on his end. Hiring a good nurse attorney for assistance could have made the defense stronger so then the sanctions could have been yielded a better result in the favor of the LVN.
All you need to hire is the best in the state of Texas. Gladly, there is no need for you to research further because you can go ahead and contact Nurse Attorney Yong J. An. To reach him out for assistance, you just have to contact him at (832) 428-5679 to finally begin. | <urn:uuid:6f96f341-ee09-4005-b36e-55a4ae93ab9e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.fortworthnurseattorney.com/best-nurse-attorney-nursing-cases/ | 2023-10-03T13:08:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.98616 | 392 |
To maintain a healthy lifestyle, you should be getting a consistent seven to nine hours of sleep every night – but why? If you think sleeping is just a period of rest and inactivity, you should think again. Sleeping is an essential activity that allows your mind and body to recharge and consolidate your learning and memory to perform tasks better the next day. Like eating and drinking, sleep is essential for maintaining good mental and physical health.
Lack of sleep at night makes you feel tired and cranky the next day, or worse, mess up your daily activities. Without enough sleep for a few days, your brain cannot function properly and might impair your abilities to concentrate, process happenings and think clearly. Whether you lie down in a king-sized bed or a storage bed, being able to fall asleep at night is vital. To give you a complete overview, read this guide to understand why sleep is essential.
You might wonder why sleep is essential, and to answer, it impacts your body in many ways. First, sleep gives your bodies time to rest and recover overnight to prepare you for the morning ahead. A good night sleep can help you feel refreshed and ready to face a new day. Meanwhile, sleep deprivation can seriously affect your physical health, such as the increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, stroke and diabetes.
Sleep also plays a vital role in your day-to-day productivity. Getting at least seven hours of sleep each night helps you function your best throughout the day. Without enough sleep, your productivity tends to be lower, along with your ability to finish tasks and reaction times. Missing one to two hours of sleep per night can already impact your functions and may cause disruptions at school or work.
To help you sleep well, there are certain things and factors that you must pay attention to have a good night’s sleep. Here at Four Star, our latest Chiro+ mattresses are designed to provide orthopaedic posture support and address back care and support issues, enhancing your well-being. Plus, the mattresses boast a Hexa-Coil Individual Pocketed Spring System, which consists of reel inter-mixed pocketed springs for compact cushioning and maximised body-conforming base.
Aside from physical health, sleep is also essential for your brain health. As you sleep, your brain forms new pathways that help you learn further information while storing the old. Additionally, it allows your brain to make decisions and pay attention, which becomes more challenging if you lack sleep. Sleep deficiency has also been linked to mood swings, depression, and risk-taking behaviour.
Sleep is essential for maintaining your physical and mental health and must be taken very seriously. Without consistent quality sleep, your body and brain suffer, resulting in unproductivity for the next day. So, it is highly recommended that you make use of what you have and try to get those seven to nine hours of sleep each night and give your body the rest it needs and deserves!
If you’re looking for ways to achieve a good night sleep, finding the best mattress that suits you would be a good start! You can try and visit our Four Star showrooms to get a first-hand look and experience of our premium beds. We offer latex mattresses in Singapore and king-sized mattresses of the highest quality to help you achieve the sleep that your body needs.

Police: Man beat up, bloodied two victims outside Lawrenceburg strip club
A witness told police the man ‘stomped’ on one of the victims, according to court records.
LAWRENCEBURG, In. (WXIX) - A man is behind bars after police say he beat up two men near a strip club in Dearborn County.
Ryan Jump is at the Dearborn County Jail charged with two counts of battery with serious bodily injury.
One alleged victim says he woke up in a pool of his own blood. The father of the other alleged victim says his son is now out of the hospital but can’t open his eyes.
Lawrenceburg police say it happened early Sunday morning near Concepts Lounge.
An officer found the two alleged victims unconscious and facedown on the ground at the intersection of Arch and Euphemia streets, according to court records.
One of the victims had severe trauma to his face and head, the records read.
Witnesses say they saw a fight outside Concepts. One witness claims he saw a man lying on the ground without a shirt on as another man in gray punched him. The witness says someone then tried to pull the man off him, saying, “Come on Ryan, let’s go.”
The witness says the man, now believed to be Jump, “just kept stomping on him... the dude was barely breathing... and just kept stomping on him.”
It remains unclear what sparked the alleged fight.
Jump is being held on a $125,000 straight bail.

AUSTIN, Texas - COVID-19 continues to gain a foothold in Central Texas.
Travis County is reporting 206 cases with two deaths and Williamson County is reporting 41 cases and one death. “I would like to suggest that the public just assume it’s everywhere at this point,” said Dr. Laim Fry with Austin Public Health.
Austin Public Health is working on a way to protect the most vulnerable in the community, the elderly, as the mortality rate is higher than other populations. “Rates at 30% some would say even higher and we absolutely want and need to avoid that in our community,” said Fry.
Fry is with the nursing home task force where they will be opening up two facilities, one in Travis County and one in Williamson County, totaling 100 beds for elderly COVID-19 patients who do not need hospitalization but need medical assistance.
“By having these facilities up and running before we have a surge in population that we would really be able to better protect our residents then other communities have been able to,” said Fry.
These facilities would be run similar to a nursing home. “There would be some restrictions, staff that work in one of these facilities would not be allowed to go into another facility,” said Fry.
By doing this, Austin Public Health hopes to also ease the burden on hospitals for patients who need to be hospitalized.
“They would be able to take those patients from the hospital as well as other nursing rooms and hospitals to allow us to safely take care of them at the same time keep those patients separate from the other nursing home patients where we have a couple thousand in our community,” said Fry.
As more cases of COVID-19 are reported daily they expect to use out of these facilities soon. “Within one to two to even three weeks we will see them with a significant amount of patients based on the mathematical model we’ve seen from UT Dell and UT Austin,” said Fry.
Fry says they are already pursuing more options should these two facilities reach capacity.

Yes Betterhelp Take Medical Insurance…In the very first circumstances. As with all sort of services and assistance, what works for someone might not work for somebody else,” he stated.
Marc Bush, primary policy adviser at Young Minds, said that while online counselling services are valuable, “they shouldn’t change face-to-face therapy with a qualified specialist. If a young adult is struggling, we would encourage them to speak to their GP in the first instance, or to contact an established service like The Mix, Childline or the Samaritans.”.
For Rackham, who has generalised anxiety condition, online counselling wasn’t the ideal fit. “I felt it was near difficult for the therapist to truly get a sense of the concerns I was handling, as all they had to go from was my typed-out words. I believe I understood after that online session how vital interpersonal interaction was.
” I’m a huge fan of using technology in all areas of my life as a solution to daily issues. I have apps for whatever, but when it concerns mental health, you need to pick how innovation plays a role in your healing really thoroughly.”. Betterhelp Take Medical Insurance
Rather, the app prides itself on having licensed therapists and psychological health professionals offered to help people through text, telephone call or video chat. That’s what many YouTubers who have actually accepted sponsorships from the company frequently state in their own videos, where they speak on the stresses in their individual lives and feelings verging on anxiety or anxiety. Bobby Burns, Elle Mills, Philip DeFranco, Heath Hussar, Boogie2988, Shane Dawson and ChandlerNWilson are all creators who have Betterhelp Take Medical Insurance sponsors now.
A number of these creators have actually spoken about psychological health problems in the past, however as burnout ends up being a bigger subject within the community– and traditional world– sponsorships involving BetterHelp have increased, regardless of the app not being precisely what the developers are touting. | <urn:uuid:f413788e-4e7f-45d6-9bac-10ef5f1d560b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.fpvspots.info/betterhelp-take-medical-insurance/ | 2023-10-03T13:12:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.957687 | 424 |
As I write this post, I join the rest of France and millions of people around the world who remain in shock following the fire that started on April 15th, 2019. For us, Notre Dame is more than a landmark and a place of worship. It is a work of art that has born witness to our history for the greater part of the last millennium. It is a symbol of human accomplishment and endurance across many generations.
“It’s the very soul of Paris, but it’s not just for French people. For all humanity, it’s one of the great monuments to the best of civilisation,” said Barbara Drake Boehm, senior curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s medieval Cloisters branch in New York. The traumatic impact of this devastating event transcends all cultural and religious boundaries. It will be felt across the globe by people of all faiths and none.

A witness to European history
'Great edifices, like great mountains, are the work of centuries,' wrote Victor Hugo in his literary masterpiece, The Hunchback of Notre Dame. This great and emblematic building has stood on the Ile de la Cité in Paris for more than 850 years. Some might say it is the embodiment of France itself, ever present at key moments in European history. Notre Dame hosted the marriages of French, English and Scottish kings and queens, and of the Emperor Napoleon. It was immortalized in one of the great works of French literature.
It survived the harrowing events of the French Revolution and two world wars. Against this context, the idea that a fire could destroy such a large part of Notre Dame in the space of a few hours would be hard to believe if we hadn't seen it on the news or from the streets of Paris with our own eyes.

The cathedral was undergoing renovation work before the fire began. Cracks had started to appear in the stone, possibly caused by years of pollution, and there were concerns that the structure would soon become unstable. There was speculation that this accidental fire may have been related in some way to this renovation work.
What remains of the cathedral?
Apart from one firefighter who was injured during the battle to control the fire, there were fortunately no other human casualties.
In terms of the structure and the relics and artwork contained therein, we have been encouraged by reports of how much firefighters and others were able to rescue from the fire. This is what we know so far:
The cathedral’s iconic 19th century spire collapsed quite early on and almost the entire roof has been destroyed. We also know that a fragment of the Holy Crown of Thorns (the main relic was rescued - see below), a relic of St Denis, and a relic of St Geneviève did not survive the fire.
The firefighters of Paris worked strategically through the night to protect the other parts of structure, including the two towers, which were saved. With additional help from Jean-Marc Fournier, the chaplain of the Paris fire brigade who joined a human chain to enter the burning building, agents of the culture ministry, the archbishop’s staff, and the security services some of the important artwork and holy relics that were inside the cathedral were also saved.

On the night of the fire, the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, confirmed that one of Notre Dame’s most precious relics, the Holy Crown of Thorns, had been saved. Originally from Jerusalem, it is said that this ring of rushes and thorns formed part of the crown of thorns that was placed on Jesus’s head during his crucifixion. King Louis IX received it in 1238 and built Paris’s beautiful Sainte-Chappelle to house it. It was later moved to Notre Dame de Paris and is now encased in rock crystal to protect it.
The mayor has also confirmed that the Tunic of Saint Louis has been saved. This 13th century garment belonged to King Louis IX – the same king to have acquired the Holy Crown of Thorns and the only French king to be canonized. Following his coronation in 1226, King Louis participated in the Seventh Crusade, eventually perishing in 1270, during the Eighth Crusade. He was made a saint in 1297.
According to a cathedral spokesman, all three magnificent Rose Windows, dating back to the 13th century, have survived the fire. They will, however, need to be closely inspected by experts for hidden damage.

French media are currently reporting that the True Cross and Holy Nails – claimed to be a fragment of the cross from the crucifixion and one of the original nails – have survived the fire.
Notre Dame’s principal organist, Vincent Dubois, has said that the 8,000-pipe great organ, first built in 1403, was not burned in the fire. However, it is not yet clear whether it can still be played in its present state, as it may have suffered water damage. In that case, it will require restoration. Along with the cathedral, the organ has been updated over the centuries, its most recent restoration work being carried out in 2013. Some of the medieval organ pipes are the originals.

Reports suggest that the sculpture by Nicolas Coustou on the high altar, ‘Descent from the Cross’, is still standing, but its condition is currently unknown. Finally, we are still waiting to hear about the iconic 14th century statue, ‘Madonna and Child’ (also known as ‘Notre Dame de Paris’ – Our Lady of Paris); the 18th century Statue of Saint Denis by Nicolas Coustou, depicting the patron saint of Paris; a 17th century painting of St Thomas Aquinas, depicting the saint drinking from a fountain of wisdom with the people; and the cathedral’s ten bells, the oldest of which dates back to the 15th century and was recast in 1681. We will update this post when we have more information.
Notre Dame de Paris will rise again
Although many things remain unknown at this stage, one thing of which we are certain is that Notre Dame de Paris remains a pillar of resilience, and will rise again from the ashes. When Victor Hugo wrote The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the cathedral was in a dreadful state of neglect and disrepair. So much so, that at the beginning of his novel, Hugo predicted that 'the church will perhaps soon disappear from the face of the earth.' The novel was a wake-up call to the people, who once again turned their attention toward the cathedral and demanded its restoration. Hugo’s novel was written as a tribute to Notre Dame, in anticipation of its imminent demise. Instead, it immortalized the cathedral and succeeded in saving it from total ruin.
Last night, the people turned their attention toward Notre Dame once again, as its survival hung by a thread. The sight of the collapsing spire was painful for many of us. But we know that this was not its first spire to have succumbed to the power of nature, and to have later been recreated. The original 13th century spire of Notre Dame was in such a state of deterioration that it was pulled down at the end of the 18th century. The second and recently collapsed spire was recreated under the supervision of architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc in the mid 19th century.
Notre Dame de Paris in the 1860s, after the reconstruction of the second spire
History is therefore a comforting reminder to us all that Notre Dame de Paris has been rebuilt and restored before - and will be once again. French billionaires François-Henri Pinault and Bernard Arnault have already pledged a total of 300 million euros to help rebuild the cathedral. UNESCO has also pledged its support to help safeguard and restore the cathedral, which forms part of the UNESCO world heritage site, ‘Paris, banks of the Seine’. But small donations are what will make the most of the renovation costs. If, like us, you wish to give some, you may go to this website to donate for Notre Dame de Paris.
Though we are still shocked and devastated today, France and Notre Dame will survive this tragedy, as it has survived so much else over history. We also hope it will bring us closer as a nation, during what have been challenging times for the country. In spite of our political, cultural and social differences, it is our shared world heritage that unites us all. | <urn:uuid:c4a6fbf3-89c8-4e57-a4fb-5a3bc484ae7e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.france-justforyou.com/blog/after-the-fire-notre-dame-de-paris-will-rise-again | 2023-10-03T14:20:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.97413 | 1,838 |

Drawing inspiration from the deep though of jazz tradition, and taking profit of his intricate, flowing lyricism and sheer technical command of the guitar. Dave Allen joins forces again with Seamus Blake on tenor sax and Mark Ferber on drums. Drew Gress, one of the busiest players in the music, anchors the session on bass. Interpreting nine of Allens originals achieving a fine-grained intensity that the leader couldnt have scripted.
"Dave Allens Real and Imagined is of particular interest as it exposes refreshing music that seemingly comes out of nowhere, causing you to wonder why you havent heard of the artist before.
But Allen is no neophyte, performing and thriving in NYCs diverse jazz environment for a number of years. Real and Imagined is his second release, following Untold Stories (Fresh Sound, 2005), featuring his working quartet consisting of the potent rhythm section of bassist Drew Gress and drummer Mark Ferber, plus the sure voice of tenor saxophonist Seamus Blake.
Allen has what could be dubbed as string-imagination, the ability to quickly form and rethink patterns like moving waterflowing, lucid and spontaneous, paired with superior comping skillsfilling in the gaps with creative touches and chord-work. But of equal importance, the band is tight and the music is immersive. Performed without the use of techno effects and overdubbing, the tone of this effort is as forward-thinking as it comes.
Its rare to find a balanced sax/guitar-lead quartet but Allen and Blake make a fine team, negotiating themes in simpatico on the hip serpentine pattern of Slipping Glimpser. Or take the bopping Untold Story, as Blakes tenor echoes a Michael Brecker-like intensity as Allen adds some Wes Montgomery chordspaving the way for memorable solos as the rhythm section flawlessly keeps the arduous time in check.
Intimate Distance is organic; Gress delivers a powerful solo, followed by Allens free lines as the Latin-tinged cadence is driven by Ferbers insistent traps. A minimalist approach on Musing, funky interactive changes on Real and Imagined, and the swagger of Mantra, are all connected sections of this recordings collage.
From beginning to end the recording has the pulse of contemporary jazz with roots, vision, and spontaneity. Take into account a plethora of good guitar-based recordings and Real and Imagined stands toe-to-toe with any of them. "
-Mark F. Turner, All About Jazz
"Dave Allen makes a fiery and eloquent showing with Untold Stories on Fresh Sound Records. Joined by tenor saxophonist Seamus Blake, bassist Carlo DeRosa and drummer Mark Ferber, Allen brings daunting chops, full-bodied tone and melodic sensitivity to the table on this all-original debut set."
-David Adler, Jazz Times Magazine
"There is a true sensuality to the guitarist's sound... unfolding his lines with an edge-of-your-seat stealth."

"James Clay's debut album as a leader (and one of only two that he cut before moving back to Dallas for nearly 30 years) matches him with fellow Texas tenor David 'Fathead' Newman, pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Sam Jones and drummer Art Taylor. Cannonball Adderley supervised the session, putting the spotlight on the competitive horns who really battle it out on the Babs Gonzales blues "Wide Open Spaces." Clay, who plays flute on the date's lone standard "What's New," holds his own with Newman and plenty of sparks fly."

Other popular bars include El Encuentro (tel. 06/2959-526), on Calle Olmedo 9-59, near Calle Velasco, and Bar Bud on Plaza Ibarrenidad. If you're looking to boogie, head to the nostalgically named Studio 54 (tel. 06/2953-985), located out on the highway to Laguna Yahuarcocha.

The Vocational Training Authority (VTA) under the guidance of Minister of Skills Development and Vocational Training Chandima Weerakkody, recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Jetwing Hotels Ltd, Sri Lanka’s premier hospitality brand, to improve and increase employability in the hospitality industry for youth in Pottuvil, through the provision of necessary training and technical support.
While Chairman Hiran Cooray signed the MoU on behalf of Jetwing Hotels, Chairman/CEO Eng. Dr. Lionel Pinto signed on behalf of the vocational training authority on 12 July.
VTA and Jetwing Hotels have committed to ensure that the students selected are provided with sound training in food and beverage, cookery, housekeeping as well as in front office management. The students who successfully complete the training course will receive National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) 3/4 qualifications. Their training will encompass technical knowledge as well as English and soft skills in keeping with the requirements of the hospitality sector, which will ensure that the students are prepared for the world of hospitality both nationally and internationally. Both parties will work towards providing a conducive environment to retain a maximum number of trainees.
The Vocational Training Authority (VTA) will be responsible for the overall coordination of the training, while providing the training space and facilities at the VTA Training Centre – Pottuvil. As the key party responsible for the training, Jetwing will ensure all training is delivered to the required standards. The program will be in line with the Jetwing Youth Development Project (JYDP), initiated in 2006, to ensure local community development through tourism.
JYDP was an immense success and received much international acclaim by winning the Grand Award in Education and Training from the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) in 2007 and 2016. To date, 19 programs have been successfully completed. The key objectives of JYDP were to involve the local communities in tourism, by providing employment opportunities for the youth and the capacity to learn, self-develop and succeed in the hospitality industry, with an additional focus of addressing the shortage of manpower in the industry.
JYDP is structured in a way that will enhance the language skills, as well as the theoretical and practical knowledge of hotel operations and management. Industrial placements within Jetwing hotels during the latter stages of the program have enabled all JYDP trainees to get a clearer understanding of hotel operations and management, thus creating a pathway for a successful career within the hospitality industry.
In addition, the trainees will be exposed to properties all around the island, thanks to Jetwing’s ambitious and currently underway expansion plans. All trainees who successfully complete the program will be offered employment at Jetwing Surf – Pottuvil Point. | <urn:uuid:3f975fb9-a4b1-459d-9c19-848f0b14155a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ft.lk/hr/vocational-training-authority-signs-mou-with-jetwing-hotels/47-631922 | 2023-10-03T13:37:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.952894 | 570 |

Find out if your KitchenAid washer isn’t responding. Did the circuit fail? To determine if the electrical outlet is the cause, plug a hair dryer or another device that is electrical into it. The wiring in the outlet could be the issue if the hair dryer does not function. Get an electrician involved to fix the outlet’s electrical wiring. If the hair dryer functions it could be due to an electrical issue in the washing machine. Take these steps for checking the wiring in the KitchenAid washing machine.
- Unplug the KitchenAid washer and inspect the power cord for damage.
- Replace the power cord if it’s damaged.
- Verify the wiring connections to the main control board or timer.
- Connect any loose wires.
- Make sure you check the connections to the wiring between your main control board (KitchenAid washer) and the user interface board.
Connect any loose wires to user interface: If the electrical connections are in good condition, you might require replacing the control board as well as the user interface board. Before replacing control components it’s recommended to make an KitchenAid service technician look over the KitchenAid washing machine’s control boards and user interface boards. Live voltage checks are necessary for testing the controls. We don’t advise you to perform a live voltage check on your KitchenAid washer by yourself, as those tests can be risky.
Replace the KitchenAid washer’s main controller board: The main electronic control board (also called the mother board) regulates the timing and execution of the washer’s component functions. It controls the fill valves along with the drive motor and the drain pump.
Change the KitchenAid washer’s timer: The cycle selector, also referred to as a timer, is the dial that you use to set the cycle of a KitchenAid washing machine with mechanical controls. The timer allows the washer to move through its cycles, from the beginning of filling to the final spin. If the timer does not move the washer throughout its cycle then replace it. Replace the KitchenAid washer’s user interface board: The user interface board is where you can find the buttons you use to start the wash cycle. If one or more buttons fail, replace the user interface board. A KitchenAid washing-machine that isn’t working can be extremely frustrating and stressful. Homeowners can address a variety of reasons why KitchenAid washing machine isn’t working.
The article discussed common causes of an appliance from KitchenAid not functioning, including power supply, water supply, and control issues, and provided step-by-step instructions on how to fix the issue. Be sure to unplug the KitchenAid washing machine before you attempt any repairs, and if you’re uncertain about any part of the procedure it is recommended to consult the manufacturer’s manual or consult a professional assistance. You can get your machine back to normal with a little patience and some time. Sometimes, the issue is more complex. If this is the case it is recommended to seek help from a professional as soon as possible. | <urn:uuid:a0a1ed4a-ec19-4ac7-ab13-72763ede0ca9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.fuseami.com/why-doesnt-my-kitchenaid-washing-machine-work-at-all/ | 2023-10-03T14:42:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.909352 | 645 |

The Boston Red Sox are one of the most renowned and beloved professional baseball teams in history, having won nine World Series titles and 14 American League pennants to cement themselves as one of sports' greatest franchises. Additionally, they are beloved members of their hometown community of Boston as one of its most recognizable and beloved teams.
Through its long and successful history, the Red Sox have been owned and operated by various entities. In 1933 a wealthy yet shy young man named Tom Yawkey purchased the team, investing money into it. Two years later in 1939 they acquired Ted Williams - widely considered to be baseball's greatest hitter.
In 2002, Yawkey sold the Sox to a group of investors led by New England Sports Ventures. These new owners reorganized the team as a limited partnership and laid the groundwork for what would become known today as the Boston Red Sox organization.
Since then, the Sox have had an incredible record. In each of their first eight seasons, they made the playoffs twice and won two division titles and five American League pennants. Most recently in 2018, they set a franchise-record 108 games while winning their third World Series title - an amazing feat!
The Sox have made some mistakes along the way, but they have always managed to bounce back from them. In 2011, their 92-65 record earned them a place in the World Series against St. Louis Cardinals; six games later, they became the first team ever to win it after finishing last in their division a year earlier.
Aside from their illustrious past, the Red Sox boast some of sports' most recognizable logos. Mascot Wally the Green Monster has been featured in multiple films and their anthem, "Red Sox Anthem", was composed by Boston native Jimmy Hayes during 1902 season; it remains a popular rallying cry for team fans today.
Fenway Park has been the beloved home of the Boston Red Sox since 1912 and remains a baseball fan's dream. As Major League Baseball's oldest ballpark, it has seen many renovations throughout its long history.
It has also hosted many concerts and other events such as Red Sox Baseball games. Furthermore, the stadium is renowned for hosting concerts by legendary artists like Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor and Def Leppard.
Fenway Park stands out among other stadiums with several distinctive features, one being the Green Monster in left field. This 37 foot high wall transforms line drives that would normally be considered home runs into "wall ball doubles" here in Boston.
Thomas Yawkey added the Green Monster in 1933 during his renovation of Fenway Park, along with other improvements such as replacing all seats with steel infill panels.
In addition to these modifications, the park had two prominent features: The Triangle and Pesky's Pole. These additions were intended to increase seating capacity in the stadium as well as enhance its atmosphere.
These features have contributed to creating an inviting atmosphere at the stadium and made it a great spot to watch baseball games. Furthermore, they offer visitors to the venue an engaging experience.
Fenway Park is known for many unique and captivating features, such as its metric distances set in 1976, first electronic message board and trough urinals in public restrooms. Fans love to experience all that Fenway has to offer!
One notable feature is the foul ball screen behind home plate, which was the first such screen in professional baseball and serves to retrieve home run balls that land in foul territory.
The Red Sox Stadium has been a beloved tourist destination for over 100 years, making it an essential stopover for any fan of the Red Sox or baseball enthusiasts visiting Boston for the first time.
Boston is the birthplace of the American Revolution, home to world-class educational institutions and the Red Sox, as well as having a rich history. As such, it makes for great photography opportunities, with plenty of iconic landmarks and buildings that can be captured from any angle.
This iconic New England city stands as a testament to its youthful nature, boasting an impressive skyline compared to other US cities. Since the late 1960s, Boston has experienced an unprecedented building boom, with numerous skyscrapers and landmarks springing up like mushrooms in springtime.
One of the best places to take in all of Boston's skyline is from Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Here you'll be able to admire TD Garden, State Street Building, Prudential Tower, John Hancock Tower and Leonard P. Zakim Bridge from a unique vantage point.
A leisurely walk around Back Bay will reveal several other stunning landmarks such as Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market. The Old Customs House, a tall tower on the corner of Quincy Market, has been a major tourist attraction for over 150 years; it has been renovated and now houses hotels and restaurants.
The First National Bank Tower, the tallest skyscraper in the Financial District, is an impressive sight at night with its bright lights illuminating the city's iconic skyline. What's most remarkable about it though is its cleverly designed facade made up of three layers of glass - making it both environmentally friendly and a stunning feature to behold!
The Boston Globe is one of the nation's most esteemed newspapers, known for their investigative reporting and scoops - especially on local issues. They've won multiple Pulitzer Prizes and enjoyed great success. Additionally, The Globe has long been associated with their coverage of the Red Sox and their legacy.
The Globe was established in 1872 and remains a family-owned paper today, being the oldest newspaper in Massachusetts. It was founded by Eben Jordan - owner of Jordan Marsh department store - with assistance from other businessmen. At that time, issues cost four cents each; however, due to losses caused by the Great Boston Fire of 1872 and low circulation levels, circulation initially suffered greatly.
At first, the paper focused on local news. Over time, however, they expanded their coverage of social movements in Boston, giving them an edge over other papers in New England.
They made a name for themselves by covering breaking news stories, especially related to the Vietnam war. As the third newspaper in America (after Washington Post and New York Times) to publish excerpts from the Pentagon Papers, they quickly gained notoriety for their reporting.
Their success has also spawned a series of scandals. In 1998, The Globe was forced to remove two star columnists after allegations were leveled that they were fabricating quotes and characters.
In 2001, The Boston Globe editor was fired for mishandling a sexual abuse case. Additionally, they were sued in 2006 over an editorial that appeared in their paper.
The Globe was known for being a liberal advocate, yet its editorial board was staunchly conservative. While endorsing Democratic candidates Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012, former Massachusetts Senator John Kerry in 2004, and former Vice President Al Gore in 2000, The Globe had also supported Republican nominee Donald Trump since 2008.
In 1971, The Globe earned a Pulitzer Prize for its investigation of an extensive municipal scandal in Toronto. This marked the beginning of many investigations that would ultimately result in profound reforms.
The Boston Globe has a distinguished and long-running history that includes publishing the Pentagon Papers. They are an established newspaper with over 150 years of experience in news reporting. Furthermore, The Globe has evolved into a multimedia hub for breaking stories across multiple platforms. | <urn:uuid:caa0eed1-4886-4136-89ed-aec03cd3285e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.futurestarr.com/blog/news/boston-red-sox-wallpaper | 2023-10-03T13:49:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.973954 | 1,559 |

"I'm going to knock them a few points for abusing the term "˜high definition', but otherwise Etymotic's new HD"¢15 electronic earplugs look like a far better alternative to those yellow or orange foam tubes you keep swiping from work. Your run-of-the-mill earplug simply blocks all (or most) noises from entering your ear canal. So while they're fine for activities like sleeping, they're not so great when you also need to hear people talking to you.
So the HD"¢15"²s feature a built-in microphone that monitors the ambient noise around the user. When it's loud, such as at a construction site, it naturally blocks out the harsh noises from equipment and vehicles. But when that din dies down and you want to talk to someone, the earplugs detect the change in noise and allow voices to be heard via their mic/speaker system. They can even be used to boost particularly quiet sounds or voices, but automatically return to protecting your hearing when the ambient noises get loud again. As you can probably expect, at $499/pair they're not cheap. But they look to be a lot more comfortable to wear than a large pair of headphones or ear protectors, while still letting you hear when you need to." | <urn:uuid:31b1e3f6-7710-42ee-9a9e-93325b32af85> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gadgetking.com/2011/09/09/etymotic-hd-15-high-definition-electronic-earplugs/ | 2023-10-03T13:45:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.954201 | 271 |

GAMSAT Sample Questions
"Absolutely fantastic! More than just basic/required knowledge but the reasoning skills that you need to do well in GAMSAT!"
"I don't know how I would have prepared without Gold standard!!!!! Absolutely amazing especially all the Youtube videos with worked solutions, the textbook and online videos and chapter review questions. Would HIGHLY recommend if you are serious about preparing for GAMSAT!!!"
"Gold Standard GAMSAT provides a great basis for anyone studying for the Gamsat. Dr Ferdinand is extremely experienced and gives honest advice and is always willing to advocate other useful resources too. I would recommend these materials to anyone!"
"Took their 4 day course (Section 1 & 2, bridging day, and 2 days of section 3), and found it INCREDIBLY helpful. It really pointed out where I needed to fill the gaps in my knowledge, where I was wasting time learning content that just wouldn't be relevant, and how to tackle problems and identify patterns that show up repeatedly on the test. I don't think anyone goes into the GAMSAT feeling fully prepared, but I have a much better idea now of how to deal with the questions, and where to focus my energy, thanks to this course! Would definitely recommend it :) "
"Dr Ferdinand is an amazing teacher, very enthusiastic and helpful throughout! Highly recommend gold standard resources especially if you're from a non-science background."
"Thank you Dr Ferdinand and the GS team. I sat GAMSAT for the first time in March 2018 and it would've been a complete disaster without your help. I come from a non-science background and after doing a lot of research into the GAMSAT courses that are available I chose Gold Standard. The content is great but I found the direction on how to approach the test the equally as useful. I've heard stories from people who have done other GAMSAT courses and they weren't provided with the depth of instruction and support that I received from GS."
"When I decided to take GAMSAT, I was completely lost and did not know where should I start since I did not have a science background. . . I purchased the book that guided me around main topics and the HEAP book with 10 practise tests, I watched every single available webinar, I did live courses on campus, and used essay-correction services."
"I HIGHLY recommend both the books and the online resources which have had a huge amount of time and effort put into preparing them."
"This course is absolutely perfect. Felt overwhelmed for all three sections before I started studying for the GAMSAT, and this helped me so much for all of them. Found the Humanities textbook to be very beneficial for sections 1 and 2, and the videos (both science videos and acer answers) to be the best for section 3. Essay correction service was also excellent - they dont just give you general replies - they breakdown your essays completely, and give examples of how you could have said things differently..."
"For someone from a Non-Science Background such as myself, having these resources available to help me understand why I was getting questions wrong, and to provide a possible method for solving each of these questions was amazing. I can't thank Dr Ferdinand and his team enough for his work."
"I just received my GAMSAT results and I'm over the moon with the results! I certainly would not have been able to do it without your help!"
I just wanted to let you know that the Live Course was superb - it was definitely the best investment of both time and money that I have made during my study for the GAMSAT. I received my GAMSAT results today from the Irish sitting and obtained a 64 overall including a 66 in the science section. Absolutely delighted.
Review By: Luke Conroy from Dundrum, Ireland
Just wanted to let you know that Kirsty starts Graduate Entry Medicine at her first choice university, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. Her only preparation was your system for 5 weeks prior to the exam. She and we are delighted!
Review by: Jane for Kirsty McGarry, Graduate Entry Medicine - Class 2019, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI)
I sat the GAMSAT once and thanks to GS materials and courses as well as a solid plan I got the results I wanted first time! I am now getting ready to start Medical School at the end of this month.
Review By: Fizzix (2010 Non-science Student, Trinity College Dublin)
The GAMSAT Gold channel on YouTube is a great free resource that works through the answers for the Acer practice question books.
Excerpt from GAMSAT - Some Tips from GEMS by: Grainne Allen, Graduate Entry Medicine - Class 2017, University College Dublin (UCD)
I think [Gold Standard GAMSAT] is a great book to have as a resource for directing your study... to take you through the things you’re going to need to know especially for science, definitely get a Gold Standard GAMSAT.
Review By: Thomas Kelly, MD program (Doctor of Medicine) - Class of 2017, University of Melbourne
I came from a background of both. . . a Biomedicine, which I did at the University of Melbourne and I’ve also done most of the Bachelor of Arts, Journalism degree, at Monash University. So, I did feel well relatively prepared in terms of the arts and sciences. But things like Physics, and I barely done any Chemistry - they were definitely areas that I had to work on. For this, I actually bought . . . the Gold Standard GAMSAT preparation pack. It was mostly because I was just really overwhelmed. I didn’t know what to study. . . and I really just wanted some guidance. . . I felt like it was very useful and combining that with my university studies, I really did on the day pretty well covered content-wise on my exam paper.
Review By: Renae M. Thomas, 4th year Medical Student (GAMSAT: 97th percentile), Monash University GEM
After the GAMSAT I thought there was absolutely no way I had passed! My friends encouraged me to apply anyway and I'm glad I did. I was pleased with my 58 overall and especially happy with the 66 that I achieved for the writing section. The GAMSAT essay correction is excellent and I know they contributed to my good result. Not only did I receive a coveted interview at dental school, but going through the process was incredibly enjoyable and rewarding. Thank you Gold Standard for some quality guidance.
Review By: Vivienne Morton from London, United Kingdom
I used this to prepare for my GAMSAT and found it really helpful. I started studying at the beginning of a 3 month summer break an was a bit dismayed to find that this book recommended at least 6 months! However I come from a science background and in the end managed to fit it comfortably into the 3 months. This kit was indispensable. The book guides you through your revision, it outlines the different sections of the exam clearly with plenty of examples. The essay section was particularly helpful. The essays have to be written in a very small amount of time and so his guide to structuring to include all that was needed whilst demonstrating strong grammar, spelling and well constructed arguments meant that I only wrote 1 side of A4 for each question and yet still received a really high mark for the essay section. The DVDs were also really helpful. The guy presenting them, Dr. Brett, is like the really cool science teacher who you never had but always wish you had. He has a really soothing voice and amicable manner so even on those days when I really didn't feel like studying, he still made me learn things. The flash cards were also really useful, I'd take them to work, on the journeys, use them with dinner. Really useful way to check your learning. I got a good enough score to get me 3 interviews and I am now starting med school at my first choice in September. This kit made a really challenging exam a lot less painless and I'd really recommend it if you're taking on the GAMSAT.

Remembering Professor Emmanuel Gaillard (1952-2021)
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Professor Gaillard’s family and the Team at Gaillard Banifatemi Shelbaya Disputes have been immensely touched by the outpouring of friendship and support received as we mourn his painful loss.
Click here for the Statement from Gaillard Banifatemi Shelbaya Disputes.
To honor and remember Professor Gaillard, Gaillard Banifatemi Shelbaya Disputes will organize a special event later this year, when the sanitary conditions so allow. Details of the event will be provided in due course.
We will provide information, in due course, about the ongoing projects relating to Professor Gaillard, including a Liber Amicorum that was underway and was going to be presented to him in 2022.
We also would like to invite you to share with us memories, stories, anecdotes and sentiments of Professor Gaillard’s life and accomplishments, which will be collected into a book of remembrance. Please email [email protected] to share your memories.
Honoring Professor Gaillard through donations
To honor Professor Gaillard, his family has requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Great Plains Foundation to support the fight against elephant poaching.
All donations in honor of Professor Gaillard will be used in support of the Motswiri Anti-Poaching Unit in the Selinda Reserve. This field camp and anti-poaching unit sit at a critical and vulnerable boundary between the Selinda Reserve, neighboring community conservancies and local villages. Having a conservation presence at this boundary helps ensure the protection of the full range of species that call the Selinda Reserve home, but in particular the elephants who traverse the Selinda Reserve as part of an unfenced migratory corridor with Botswana’s Chobe National Park. The Great Plains Foundation has indicated that it will be honored to accept donations from Professor Gaillard’s friends and colleagues to support the on-going protection of this stunning corner of wild Africa.
How to donate
- Donate online at https://greatplainsfoundation.com/donate
- In the “message” field below your email address please include “In honor of Prof. Emmanuel Gaillard.” Anything with this designation will be tracked and used in support of the Motswiri Anti-Poaching Unit in the Selinda Reserve.

What is Transmission Modes?
Transmission mode refers to the process of transferring the data between two devices connected over internet or network. It is also known as the communication mode. These mode associated with the flow of data in a particular direction.
Table of Content
Type of Transmission mode
In a computer network, there are basically 3 type of transmission mode
- Simplex Mode
- Half duplex Mode
- Full-duplex Mode
1. In simplex mode (one-way street), the communication is unidirectional.
2. Only one of the two devices can communicate or send data and others can only receive it.
Simplex transmission Example
- Keyboard and traditional monitors. The keyboard can only take input; the monitor can only give output.
- TV broadcasting and radio station.
Half duplex Mode
- In half-duplex mode, each station can transmit and receive the data but one at a time. If one device is sending the data, other can only receive it and vice-versa.
- The entire capacity of the channel can be utilized for each direction.
- Generally used in cases where there is no need for communication in both directions at the same time.
Half duplex Example
A walkie-talkie is a classical example in which one person speaks and other listen. One message is transmitted at a time.
Full duplex Mode
In full-duplex mode (Two-way street), both the station can transmit and receive data at the same time.
- Sharing can occur in two ways: Either the link must contain two physically separate
- The capacity of the channel is divided between signals travelling in both directions.
Full duplex Example
The telephone network, where two people can talk and listen at the same time.

When it comes to your fertility, you want the facts on your side. You need to know how to make your pregnancy goals a reality. Unfortunately, there are numerous rumors about sperm killers and reproductive hormone crushers on the internet today. There are also plenty of myths when it comes to sperm enhancers and reproductive hormone optimizers. Most of the buzz involves certain beverages, foods and daily activities. Do you follow the advice or ignore them?
Fortunately, the experts at GENESIS are here to sort through the buzz and present you with the facts.
Let’s dispel the myths and highlight the realities.
Food, beverages and fertility
In 2007, Harvard researchers conducted a fertility study related to diet, and in 2009, they published their findings in a book. The basic idea is that the following dietary choices may increase your chances of becoming pregnant by up to 80 percent:
- Higher monounsaturated fat intake like avocados or olive oil.
- Increased vegetable protein and less animal protein.
- More whole grains.
- Increased vegetarian sources for iron and less meat.
- High-fat dairy over low-fat dairy.
The study suggests that a healthier diet is the best practice. The results align with what we recommend.
According to the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, obesity in men may negatively influence testosterone levels. Additionally, obese men are at a higher risk for low sperm count and decreased sperm motility.
Other studies suggest that women of a healthy weight who increase their level of physical activity are more likely to experience regular ovulation.
However, for every nugget of information on the internet, there is a mountain of questionable advice to sift through.
Coffee and Caffeine
Q: Does coffee and caffeine influence your odds of getting pregnant?
A: Not really. According to the latest studies, coffee does not influence pregnancy rates and some studies show that it may actually improve pregnancy rates. However, like most things, drinking too much coffee may cause negative side effects.
Consider this: If you are already a coffee drinker, then 1-2 cups a day seems to be OK, both while trying to conceive and during pregnancy. But if you are not a coffee drinker, we don’t recommend starting; it just means another thing you would have to remember to do in the morning.
Q: Does soda influence fertility as the rumors suggest?
A: According to studies, drinking at least one soda per day lowers the odds of getting pregnant in women. In men, the chance of fathering a child can fall by as much as 33 percent.
Sugar and fertility don’t mix well. When you consume too much sugar, it affects adrenal glands, which contribute to hormone production in both men and women. Also a spike in blood sugar can increase insulin levels, which can be harmful even when you’re not trying to get pregnant. However, according to the same study, diet sodas and fruit juice do not negatively influence pregnancy.
We recommend limiting your sugar intake when trying to get pregnant.
Q: How does alcohol influence fertility?
A: Drinking alcohol reduces sex drive and sperm quality, and may even lead to impotence in men. For women, drinking alcohol negatively impacts ovulation and fetal development. We recommend avoiding all alcoholic drinks when trying to conceive and certainly during pregnancy.
Activities and fertility
The internet suggests everything from avoiding your laptop to standing on your head. Avoiding these activities is meant to influence your odds of becoming pregnant. While some of these myths may have some basis in reality, most are wildly exaggerated or embellished.
Q: Does smoking negatively influence fertility?
A: Smoking affects both sperm count and female reproductive hormones. Many believe that quitting smoking should happen after pregnancy. However, the reality is that you should stop smoking when trying to become pregnant.
We highly recommend quitting!
Q: Does cell phone use kill sperm?
A: There is some early data to show that there might be potential risks of cell phones on sperm health. According to a study published in the Central European Journal of Urology, a correlation exists between mobile phone exposure, DNA-fragmentation level and decreased sperm motility. Most studies don’t show an effect of cell phone exposure on sperm quality. Since the jury is still out on this one, GENESIS will have to wait for some more research before we give any official recommendations.
Q: Do laptops kill sperm?
A: The old saying “some like it hot” was definitely not describing the testicles, which prefer the temperature to be a couple of degrees cooler than the rest of the body, that’s why they are hanging out down there. Some studies not surprisingly show that a heated laptop may harm sperm. However, since most of us keep our laptops on a table or desk, it doesn’t seem to be a major problem these days.
We recommend not allowing heated devices to come in contact with testicles for a prolonged period.
Q: Do microwaves cause sperm abnormalities or other fertility issues?
A: Studies have shown that microwave radiation exposure may contribute to abnormally shaped sperm. However, this did not lead to fetal demise.
Heating certain plastics in the microwave may cause chemicals such as bisphenol A to transfer to the bloodstream. This may lead to infertility, hormonal changes and even cancer.
We recommend microwaving food in microwave-safe glass or ceramic containers.
Standing on your head
Q: Does standing on your head help you become pregnant?
A: This myth predates the internet. Some rumors suggest that elevating your hips on a pillow following intercourse may help sperm reach the cervix faster. There is no evidence that this is true. Sperm takes only seconds to reach the cervical area without any help.
We don’t recommend staying in bed for extended periods of time after intercourse since this doesn’t seem to help pregnancy rates, and can increase the chance of urinary tract infections. Cuddling is optional!
There are far too many myths to counter in a single blog post. However, the best and latest studies suggest that a common sense approach to fertility is still the best course. This includes a healthy lifestyle and making healthy life choices. We agree!

The gallery between two stretches of tunnels is exposed to rockfall. The concrete deck risked to be damaged by severe events.
To secure the bridge from rockfall energies up to 2300 kJ, a gallery roof construction was built above the street-stretch between the two tunnels. To reduce the risk further, the gallery-roof was secured by the ROCKFALL-X G damping system. A protection system which works by absorbing kinetic energy, thereby limiting deformation and above all limiting the pressure exerted on the deck by spreading loads over a wide area, while limiting the weight on the gallery so as not to overburden it.
556 preassembled ROCKFALL-X G big bags were delivered and installed during May and June 2014 in the following configuration: | <urn:uuid:ab21ac40-6cb3-4b2e-857a-7546fc58a445> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.geobrugg.com/es/Gfoeller-Bruecke-Val-dEga-43841.html | 2023-10-03T14:46:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.965503 | 156 |
- Juego de preguntas sobre ciencia ficción, fantasía, cómics, videojuegos, ciencia y tecnología
- Idioma: inglés.
One game to test them all, one game to find them,
One game to bring them all (answers) and in the geekdom, bind them.
La descripción de este producto solo está disponible en inglés. En estos momentos estamos trabajando en su traducción al español. Perdón por las molestias.
contains everything to test your knowledge and to finally prove that you're more into sci-fi and technology than anyone else! The small box is easily stored and taken along to game parties with friends. Of course, you can also use the game to resolve other issues, such as; whose turn it is to cook? (no, that doesn't mean 'order out'!), who hangs the washing out? (no, you have to actually hang it out!) or who gets the last slice of pizza ;).
- 150 trivia cards covering the different fields, including answers.
-50 battle cards
- 1x 6-sided dice.
-1x 12-sided dice.
-4 player pieces.
-And this is how it works:
The aim of the game is to reach the Inner Sanctum of Geekdom
with a player piece, and then to win a Geek Battle.
You can choose between four different player pieces: Alien Brainiac
, Mutant Robot
, Elf Wizard
and Star Hero
. You need at least 3 players to form 3 teams for a game. Each team (any number of players per team is possible) simply rolls the 6-sided dice* and moves their figure accordingly. Depending on the colour of the field you land on, your team has to answer one of the quiz cards. If you answer correctly, you're allowed to roll a second time using the 12-sided dice.
*Yes, we know a single dice is called a ‘die', but really does that sound right to you?!
Anyway, back to the game... To add more excitement, there are some wormholes
spread around the board. Then there's extra geek battles
where two teams have to battle each other by asking each other questions or setting challenges like "Give the names of people who've walked on the moon", for example (this is why you need at least three players, one has to check the answers). The team which gives the last correct answer wins the round.
And even clever clogs get their money's worth! If you feel that an answer on a card is wrong, you're given 90 seconds to prove differently. You can use books, the Internet or any other evidence to convince the others. 90 seconds only, mind!
Any questions...? Well, don't worry as detailed instructions are contained in the game box.
This game is only available in English
Well, as you're reading the English version of this product text it probable won't matter to you. But if you're better at Klingon than English, we recommend looking at the example question cards in the pictures to decide whether your English is good or not. But even if you have to look things up, that will only improve your English ;).

is a private Ivy League research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Founded in 1636 as Harvard College and named for its first benefactor, the Puritan clergyman John Harvard, it is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States and among the most prestigious in the world. buy fake Harvard University diploma
The Massachusetts colonial legislature authorized Harvard’s founding, “dreading to leave an illiterate ministry to the churches, when our present ministers shall lie in the dust”; though never formally affiliated with any denomination, in its early years Harvard College primarily trained Congregational clergy.
Its curriculum and student body were gradually secularized during the 18th century, and by the 19th century, it had emerged as the central cultural establishment among the Boston elite.
Following the American Civil War, President Charles William Eliot’s long tenure (1869–1909) transformed the college and affiliated professional schools into a modern research university; Harvard became a founding member of the Association of American Universities in 1900. James B. Conant led the university through the Great Depression and World War II, and liberalized admissions after the war.
The university is composed of ten academic faculties plus the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.
Arts and Sciences offers study in a wide range of academic disciplines for undergraduates and for graduates, while the other faculties offer only graduate degrees, mostly professional. Harvard has three main campuses: the 209-acre (85 ha) Cambridge campus centered on Harvard Yard; an adjoining campus immediately across the Charles River in the Allston neighborhood of Boston; and the medical campus in Boston’s Longwood Medical Area. Harvard’s endowment is valued at $53.2 billion, making it the largest of any academic institution. Endowment income helps enable the undergraduate college to admit students regardless of financial need and provide generous financial aid with no loans. The Harvard Library is the world’s largest academic library system, comprising 79 individual libraries holding about 20.4 million items.
Harvard has more alumni, faculty, and researchers who have won Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals than any other university in the world and more alumni who have been members of the U.S. Congress, MacArthur Fellows, Rhodes Scholars , Marshall Scholars, and Fulbright Scholars than any other university in the United States. Its alumni include eight U.S. presidents and 188 living billionaires, the most of any university. Fourteen Turing Award laureates have been Harvard affiliates.harvard diploma

The agent of Paulo Dybala is now in London amidst interest from Arsenal, Manchester United, Roma and Inter.
Sky Italia have reported about the situation of Dybala, claiming that Jorge Antun is in London and interest from the Premier League in La Joya has never decreased since the summer of 2019 when Tottenham and Man Utd had all but agreed moves for the Argentine.
It is stated that Dybala is always liked at Old Trafford but it remains to be seen if United will make an offer for him. Arsenal are also keeping tabs on La Joya and they are sensitive to the movements on that front.
The player is looking for a contract upto €8 million per season (including bonuses) but that does not include the signing-on fee.
The report claims that no offer has been for La Joya but Roma did make informal contact some weeks ago. They didn’t follow that up with anything concrete. Inter are interested but Antun has not had any formal meeting with any Serie A club so far.
It was previously reported that Dybala has agreed personal terms with Inter but his agent later denied it. | <urn:uuid:ac1666e1-7d92-45dc-8322-1da92650ef7e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.getfootballnewsitaly.com/2022/dybala-agent-london-arsenal-inter-united/ | 2023-10-03T13:52:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.983697 | 234 |
It can be hard to be fashionable. You might not know where to start. There are many factors and things to think about. The following article has tips and tricks that can help.
Avoid buying something simply based on price alone. If it does not flatter you, it is actually a bad deal. It will just sit around unworn, taking up space.
Never ever purchase a piece of clothing just due to the price being too good to refuse. If you don’t look good in it, you’ll never wear it again. It will be ignored as it takes up space in your closet.
You can dress up jeans by pairing them with a shirt that is more dressy and a pair of heels, but this is only acceptable if you plan on wearing black jeans. If you’re wearing the latest trend, colored jeans, it’s best to go for a more casual look.
A classic combination is black and white. Just check out the major fashion runways and you can see this combination used often. It’s so simple to create black and white combinations using just a shirt and pants or a dress. When it comes to the types of fashion choices you can make here, the sky is really the limit.
Nobody is perfect when trying to be fashionable, so do not set your goals on perfection. It is nearly impossible to do. Second, when you aim for perfection people will think you are going overboard. You might have noticed that the “rough” look is actually a great look anyone can pull off. For example, some hair that’s out of place, or a jacket that’s worn and torn, etc, can create a purposeful tattered look that really stands out in a crowd.
Develop a style that is all your own. Multitudes of people follow the pack when it comes to fashion; however, real originality comes from those who listen to their own style ideas. It takes a unique personality to pull this off; however, you will love the response you get as people admire your personal style.
Bring lots of neutral colors when you go on a trip. You never have to worry about colors clashing, and you can create multiple outfits with just a few pieces. Accessorize by using belts and scarves.
You shouldn’t have too many items in your makeup bag. Choose things that you are drawn to but that also fit the tone of the season. Consider daily and nightly applications. Once you open makeup, it can go bad. Bacteria can build on it, too.
Get the most out of your beauty products to save the most money possible. Get the last bit from a tube by squeezing it with a toothpaste tube squeezer. Angle the bottles 90 degrees, then 180 degrees to get every little bit of product out. Another tip is to remove the top of the bottle so you can reach into the bottle to get any remnants. Getting these additional applications will extend your products, saving you cash.
When it comes to fashion, you should not aim to be perfect. First, keep in mind that nobody is perfect. By attempting to look perfect, you can diminish the effect and appear to be trying overly hard. Some of the greatest fashion ideas come from people that have flaws with their look.
You should wear white any time of year, Labor Day or otherwise! You can, and should, wear any color that you find appealing and flattering, no matter the season. If you look best in white, by all means, wear it all year ’round. You won’t be at fault for having bad fashion sense, the people in your life will be.
Travelers should try bringing neutral colors in different shades to create clothing combinations. Your options are varied without worrying about how things will look together. To pull your fashion look together, add color accents with belts, scarves and shoes.
If you are wearing plus sizes and would like to seem smaller, don’t wear floral patterns with large shapes and flowers. These shapes emphasize your large figure, which you will want to steer clear of. Pick patterns that have small flowers as opposed to big ones.
Fashion is typically viewed as being about clothing. What some don’t realize is that lackluster hair can detract from the most beautiful outfit. You need to make sure that you use high quality hair products in order to keep your hair looking fabulous at all times, so that it compliments your choice of clothing.
Every ensemble requires a solid foundation to look its best. A well-fitting bra will help define your figure and make it more appealing. Undergarments not only provide support, but they also give a smoother and tighter look. There are a lot of garments made just to slim and hide imperfections.
When it comes to tall boots or strappy sandals, wedges always look great. They help shorter women add some height to their frame and they also elongate the body, making you look like you weight less. Just remember that you still need to walk with your wedged heels. This means that you shouldn’t purchase heel styles that are too thick for you.
By increasing the amount of water that you drink, you can help protect your nails from dryness. The drying and cracking of cuticles and nails could be a result of dehydration in the body. Since the air in winter time is normally dry and cold, it is important you keep yourself hydrated. You should remember to moisturize your cuticles and nails with shea butter once or twice each day. You can also put on shea butter or some other type of hand cream on your hands and place a cotton glove on top while you go to sleep.
Every woman should have a few essentials to build on in her wardrobe. Minimum requirements include dressy jeans to wear with heels, casual jeans, two or more pairs of dark, dressy slacks and perhaps a skirt or two. Every female ought to also have the legendary “little black dress” for special events.
Wear something you would not typically wear. By wearing something that you’re not used to, you may really surprise yourself. You can look really trendy and different, and you might just develop a new style. Discovering new styles and fashions can help you expand your wardrobe in a flash.
Although finding clothes that are fashionable is important, do not forget matching your shoes to your clothing. This means making sure that your shoes, your belt, glasses, etc, blend well with your clothing items. When you care about the details, you’ll always stand out as being fashionable.
If your look includes shorts, skip the long socks unless you are still in grammar school. That is, unless you want to look like you are still in kindergarten; this is a look for children. Make sure to avoid wearing long sock with your shorts if you want to look sophisticated.
Be quirky in your own way. Ruffle up your hair or wear socks that do not match. You can’t be perfect, so you should aim for controlled chaos.
Trade and sell your old clothes to keep yourself in clothes that are new and fashionable. Many Internet classified ad sites or even auctions let you sell your clothing easily, but there are also second-hand stores which you can sell items through as well. There are quite a few stores that will let you trade in old clothes for money or other clothes in stock.
One new fashion style involves quilted material. You can get the quilted look in skirts, blouses, blazers and jackets–or in all your clothing. This fabric is intended to be loose fitting, but wear it too loose and you’ll look fat.
Clothing in solid colors helps you direct attention where you want it. Also, these colors help to draw attention to your accessories. Research shows that wearing a pair of dark pants and a bright top can help people take you more seriously.
Keep yourself in newer fashions for less by selling or trading the clothes you are bored with. Either donate your old clothes or sell them. You can get some money from thrift stores for your old clothing items.
Excessive oils in the skin and hair are usually caused by an imbalance of hormones in both sexes. Stress can cause your hormones to be out of whack. If you are stressed, relaxation therapy can help restore hormonal balance, which will probably normalize the quantity of oil produced by your skin and scalp.
When washing whites, use bleach to extend the longevity of your clothing. Do not use too much bleach as this can make your clothes look yellow over time.
Wear solid colors to make up for your weight. Wear dark colors if you want to hide some of the excess weight that you have. Conversely, you can compensate for being on the small side by wearing lighter, brighter colors.
Try utilizing solid colors to control the attention on your body. Skirts in a solid hue can help your eye-catching blouse steal the show. Wearing bright colors on top will draw the attention of others nearer your eyes.
Some styles are more adapted to your body type than others. Is your body shape rectangular, pear-shaped, or do you have an hourglass figure? Knowing the right answer will strongly influence the type, style and cut of any clothing you buy and how fabulous it will look on you.
Have you recently gained some weight in your midsection? If so, then avoid wearing fitted clothing. This type of clothes will make your extra weight more noticeable. Don’t wear anything too baggy, though.
If you are always traveling for your job, take clothing that are anti-wrinkle or easy-care. Virtually any hotel room you stay in is sure to feature an iron and board, but why spend your time doing this if you can avoid it? Immediate and proper hanging of your clothing upon your arrival at a hotel ensures less time spent ironing.
Have a look in the thrift store in your area. No matter what your style, you never know what you can find. While these stores are well-known for things that don’t look right, there can be some hidden gems amongst the rest of it. It’s always a mystery as to what shops may be carrying a good find for a reasonable price.
Try to construct your style around your body shape and size. Is your body shape rectangular, pear-shaped, or do you have an hourglass figure? Your shape will determine which styles and clothing cuts will be flattering on you.
Jeans will always be popular in some way. However, the most popular at the moment are probably skinny jeans. You don’t have to be thin to wear skinny jeans. Nearly any shape looks good in them, as they tend to slim the body from the waist down. You can also pair them with a variety of shoes and tops.
Stay away from cosmetic surgery if you really want to have fuller looking lips. Wear a lip gloss or lipstick that is light in color and also has a shiny finish. When the gloss reflects light, it gives the illusion of fuller lips. Dark lipstick can make your lips appear thinner.
If you want to find the inside track on all the latest fashion trends, try researching online. You can get a ton of info quick online. If you’d rather not go online, there are plenty of printed magazines that can help you out.
Always carry along some simple sewing tools for a quick fix. If you bust a zipper, lose a button, or rip a seam, you can easily fix the problem. Keep it with you and you can always be prepared.
If you want your clothes to avoid becoming damaged, and if you want them to be easy to find, make sure your closet has a lot of room. You can damage your clothes if you cram them all into a small place, which would result in them not fitting you like they should. There needs to be about an inch or so between everything in your closet.
You should have an 80/20 balance of traditional items and trendy pieces. Classics that will always be in style should anchor your look, but they also provide a canvas for new fads or seasonal shifts. If you’re wearing something basic like black pants, choose a bright colored belt that makes your outfit “pop.” Wear a bold scarf with a plain shirt or sweater for a stand out effect.
Speak with a family member or friend who is a fashion expert. They will help keep you up-to-date on the fashion trends and what may look good on you. This will help you develop your personal style, too.
If you aren’t sure what you need to do so your look gets better, life is hard. Use the information here and give yourself a makeover. Be certain to take the tips and use them in your life; you’ll feel great doing it.
When you are buying white clothes, try them on under very bright light. Some white clothes are semi-transparent, so avoid that by checking them out before you buy them. Wear a skin tone bra under a white shirt.

Everything You Need To Know about Steamship Passage Tickets
The immense and ever-increasing traffic between the United States and Europe has created demands for steamship lines going to all the principal ports of Great Britain and the Continent, likewise a scale of prices which grows yearly more extended.
There is a wide choice between the palatial fast steamer sailing from New York, and the small ship considered an example of elegance and rapidity in former years. Still, today relegated to lines sailing from Philadelphia or Boston to accommodate passengers who desire cheaper rates.
The best-known agents are prepared to furnish all manner of information about the rates and accommodations of various steamships. The tour that the prospective traveler has planned should strongly influence the choice of his steamer.
It is most advisable to sail directly to some port in the country where the tour begins. Such a choice will be found more economical and more desirable than that of taking passage to England and then crossing the uncomfortable and wayward Channel for the Continent.
The great fast steamers are by no means always the most comfortable conveyances for crossing the ocean on a pleasure trip. They are usually overcrowded during the busy season, and, unless the tourist is exceedingly pressed for time, their speed does not offer sufficient compensation for other annoyances.
The fact that the slower boats are more and more patronized by those to whom additional expense is no object is a sign of the popularity of these comfortable steamers.
The ships built in recent years are fitted with steadying double keels. The slower ships with lesser size and power engines are by far the steadier. Still, the swift steamers carry such large engines that while these keels prevent the rolling and pitching, the vibration continues and is highly unpleasant.
The fast steamers charging the highest prices for their accommodations find it impossible to take as good care of the vast number of their patrons as the lines with limited passenger room.
On these great floating hotels, where there are sometimes eight hundred passengers, the decks are frequently so crowded by chairs that three or four tightly packed rows fill and obstruct all but a narrow passageway. The stewards are so busy that they cannot give proper attention to those who need their care with the best intention in the world.
The freight and transport lines and those who carry a limited number of passengers offer ampler deck room. These ships are highly recommended for those crossing the ocean on a pleasure trip.
Certain ships are more desirable on every line than others, so passengers should make the selection with great care. Tastes differ so widely among men and women that it is challenging to depend upon the judgment of one's friends.
Still, private opinion is frequently of more value than the recommendation of the best-intentioned agent who, with thousands of questions to answer, finds it almost impossible to do the right thing or to give the correct advice to people whose personal likes and dislikes he cannot possibly have any way of determining.
THE RETURN TICKET
Purchasing a return ticket should be seriously considered when the stateroom has been selected. Unless the stay abroad is indefinite, and there is some other substantial reason for hesitation, it is a wise precaution to secure a desirable stateroom in advance.
Should a tourist afterward decide to prolong his stay in Europe, he will find the company from whom he has bought return tickets only too willing to exchange these and give the holder of such tickets the first chance for the best stateroom available at the rate paid.
When buying tickets at any steamship office, a deposit of $25 is required, the least of the passage money to be paid three weeks before sailing; passengers must pay for a return ticket in full. There is sometimes a reduction of ten percent on the return portion of the ticket, but in the busy season, only a few lines grant this rebate.
If no stateroom is engaged, a tourist who buys a return ticket on any one of those lines in the Steamship Combination (listed at the end of this article) has a choice of returning when he is prepared to do so by any ship belonging to the list printed on his ticket.
If he chooses a stateroom of a higher price than what he paid when buying his ticket, he will be obliged to make up the difference. On the other hand, if he selects a cheaper cabin, the steamship line will refund the extra amount paid to him.
WHAT IS A STEAMSHIP TICKET?
It is a document of paper bearing the line's name for which it is purchased. On it is a printed agreement to transport the passenger according to the company's rules, noting the name of the ship, the number of the cabin, and the berth.
When a return ticket has been purchased, that fact, together with either the ship or names of the several lines on which the passenger is permitted to return, is also mentioned. After the steward has collected the document, the purser makes another ticket and returns it to the passenger.
The following are the lines in the Combination (a.k.a. International Mercantile Marine Company (IMM))
- American Line
- Atlantic Transport Line
- Dominion Line
- Leyland Line
- Red Star Line
- White Star Line

This Spoon is reserved for ANNA. Please don't purchase it unless it's yours. Thanks so much!
This wonderful rustic Madrone Kitchen Long Handle Spoon is handmade by my husband who enjoys spending a great deal of time creating each wooden utensil for your home. The long handle makes it perfect for reaching into a deep pot of a stew or scooping up a hefty helping of cooked cereal from a pan. He spends many hours collecting the dead branches and tree fall-downs and then in his woodshop lovingly cutting, carving, sanding and finishing with these woods. We have great respect for these trees and are grateful to give them a second life with these practical kitchen tools.
Pacific madrone is distributed on the Pacific Coast, from southwestern British Columbia south through Washington to western Oregon, and in the Coastal Ranges to south California. The heartwood is described as light pink to pale reddish-brown, sometimes with deep red spots. It has an irregular pattern of growth rings, which gives the wood a very decorative effect. It's a wonderful sturdy hardwood and I'm loving having these tools in my kitchen!
Hand wash and dry your wooden spoons. They should never be soaked in water.
These photos show the exact Spoon you'll receive. I photograph each one individually.
Madrone Wood Long Handle Spoon (#1)
Finished size is 14.5 inches long from end to end and the bowl is 4" x 3.25". There's a slight curve at the end of the spoon.
I want you to be pleased with your purchase. However if you're not satisfied with your purchase please contact me within 3 days of the receipt of your package for a return or exchange.

This is for anyone that is struggling with self confidence, or insecurities. As everyone knows, society has always shoved "Beauty Standards" down every adolescents throats; be it male or female.
At age 9, at my old Baptist church (Where I thought I was safe at the time), a group of high school girls were making fun of me- calling me ugly. The four letters everyone dreads. I had no self awareness at the time, I guess you could say I just looked in the mirror everyday and thought "Oh hey, that's me!" Instead of "Wow, you look hideous today. Look at that zit, and those puffy eyes. That red skin. Disgusting."
I went home that day and went straight to my mirror. I stared at myself and it soaked in, "You are ugly". It only took one group of girls to say one word to start me down a 6 year battle with my insecurities. I was constantly judging myself thinking, what is it that makes me ugly? I was always pondering why until I was 12. "It's your teeth. They are so crooked and yellow. Oh, and your hair is so frizzy and unkept. By the way, have you looked at your NOSE recently?!?!" My mind is shouting at me. I don't know how to fix it. I want to look beautiful like the girls on TV. "No one will ever marry a dog like you" No one has called me ugly since I was 9, except MYSELF. Everyday was a constant battle of how to look good, how to impress people. Then I had a bout of cystic acne, because thinking you're uglier than a camel isn't bad enough. It was at that time I had also noticed that I was as flat chested as a boy. I realize I was only 12, but at 12 a lot of useless crap is a big deal. I hid under pounds of makeup, hats and baggy clothes. At 13, I remember bawling and pleading with my mom and dad to get me a nose job. Convinced that it was making me so hideous. They declined, saying I was too young (Which I understand now and thank goodness they didn't let me.)
One day at 14, I was reading my bible when I realized, "Hey, God thought of me before time began. He designed my face, my body. God thinks I'm beautiful." I remember breaking down in tears and looking in the mirror. I said to my reflection "You ARE beautiful." Everyday, no matter how hideous I felt, no matter how big that zit was on the middle of my forehead was, no matter how bulbous my nose looked, I said "You ARE beautiful. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!"
Then when I was 15 1/2, I started believing it. I was looking in the mirror and saying, "Hey, you're looking GOOOOOD today girl!" And walking out of the house in confidence. As soon as I started believing it, I was getting compliments left and right! "Wow, your hair is gorgeous!" "You have such beautiful eyes." "You're eyebrows are amazing!" "You have the perfect body." But none of that matters. What other people's opinions of how you look DOESN'T matter. It's what you think of yourself. How GOD thinks of you.
AND GOD THINKS YOU'RE PERFECT.
I THINK YOU'RE PERFECT!
(Attached is a pic of my side profile I used to loathe so much, now at 17 I think is unique and beautiful!)
Here is a bonus pic of me at 12, my most self conscious phase.
I hope this MyTake helped you today. It was my first!
I just joined so I don't think I can message anyone yet, but if you would like to talk go ahead and privately comment and I'll try my best to get back to you. | <urn:uuid:bd39b34e-1c21-4cee-bfae-36712ec7dd36> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.girlsaskguys.com/how-do-i-look/a36120-my-story-of-overcoming-insecurities | 2023-10-03T14:14:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.988244 | 835 |
World Theatre Day
28 March 2017
Gian Jyoti Institute of Management and Technology in collaboration with Impact Arts celebrated ‘World Theatre Day’. On the occasion a play ‘ZakhmiKhamban Di Parwaz’ was presented. Dr. Aneet Bedi, Director, Gian Jyoti Institute of Management and Technology presided over the function.
This play was based on the ideology of Shaheed Bhagat Singh. The main protagonist of play Ranjit Singh was a great follower of Bhagat Singh during his college time. He was very intelligent and an optimistic. But due to corruption in the society he couldn’t get the right job. He was frustrated and put himself totally into drugs. His family is very upset with his such habits.He did nothing in his life. His wife got disturbed. But in the end he realized his mistake and left the drugs and came to the main stream of the society and restarted his life. | <urn:uuid:43b0799d-efea-4238-8cb8-f9e783cb955b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.gjimt.ac.in/world-theatre-day/ | 2023-10-03T15:10:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.98976 | 200 |
Farewell Blog – GUSRC Executive 2019-20
Our 2019-20 Executive Officers reflect on their year in office: telling us their favourite memories, some of their proudest achievements, and any advice they have for their successors.
Scott Kirby – President 2019-20
I can’t believe it is already time to be handing the reigns of the SRC over to my successor, a year in this job goes really quickly.
It has to be said, but this has been probably one of the toughest years to be a student at the University of Glasgow for quite some time – what a year it has been for everyone. I can’t think of a year in modern history which has thrown so many challenges in such a short space of time to students, perhaps not since WW2. Semester 2 in particular, has almost been like stepping into an alternate reality – an emotional rollercoaster from start to stop.
I won’t reflect too much on my personal experience, but I will say this has been an incredibly challenging year for the team – what we’ve had to deal with is totally outwith the job description of being a sabbatical officer, and is certainly not something you ever think you will have to deal with – even at 50 years old, never mind at an average age of 22 years old. I certainly didn’t think I would be walking out of this job with ‘Crisis Management’ as something I can put on my CV, but alas, here we are.
I’m really proud of what we have been able to achieve this year, despite the circumstances – the team have been utterly incredible at keeping things steady and stepping up to the plate when called upon, especially after lockdown began in March. From lobbying the University on its environmental agenda and getting Ecosia approved for all shared UofG computers, to putting a whole suite of wellbeing & de-stress events and activities online at the drop of a hat.
We tried holding the University accountable at every point after lockdown started, resulting in a No Detriment Policy, a COVID-19 hardship fund, a commitment to hold graduations and an Alumni Benefits package to help graduates into the new year. Outwardly we lobbied Scottish Government on Purpose Built Student Accommodation and summer financial support for students in a jobless market, and internally helped to finish the implementation of a Sanitary Product scheme on campus.
More recently, we have tried to hold the University accountable on what it’s doing for BAME students and academics, and have been campaigning for more support for survivors of rape and sexual assault. Despite the challenges that the team have gone through, I am truly grateful for what we have been able to do for students at a time where we are needed, as the SRC, to show up and be supportive for those that we represent.
Personally this year has been the most challenging year of my life, not just because of the job but also circumstances outside of work – however it has also been one of the most rewarding and fulfilling experiences I’ve had so far. If there was one piece of advice I could give anyone reading this, it’s to engage with the SRC, be a part of it, run for Council, be a Freshers’ Helper – it’s a community and a family, and getting involved has genuinely been one of the best things I’ve done at University. Give the SRC a go, and you’ll never look back!
I know going forward we have an amazing team coming into post who will be great at making sure the next academic year, in the unusual form that it takes, still proves to be a fulfilling and empowering experience for students at the University. With Liam’s, my successor, I know the SRC is in very, very capable hands.
Remember, if you ever find yourself with an issue or problem, the SRC are always here for you – here to represent you, to defend you, to support you and to hold the University accountable for you through your time here. So remember the SRC is here to be engaged with and used as a vehicle to make your student experience better – and that is a value I hope we have held true to this year given the circumstances.
It’s been an absolute privilege being President this year – thank you for everything and best of luck with your futures.
Liam Brady – Vice President Education 2019-20 (Incoming President 2020-21)
As we come to the end of our time in our roles, it’s only natural to reminisce on the last year. The key thing that sticks out to me is the people. Being a sabbatical officer has given me so many opportunities; I’ve ran my own Class Rep Conference, a virtual award ceremony, and represented the University at a Global Student Leadership Forum in China. All these things have been amazing experiences but it’s the friends that I have made along the way that are the highlight.
Being in such a close-knit team has made this year a lot easier and I can’t thank Kirsty, Tom and Scott enough for that. They have never failed to make me laugh when I needed it most and were always there to listen whether it was an emotional rant or simply catching up on a bit of gossip. It’s hard to imagine working without them but I am so excited to get to know Amy, Ella and Gregory even better and see what they bring to their roles.
This year has most definitely had its ups and downs but, ever the optimist, this blog is to focus on the positives. As a team we have worked tirelessly to represent the best interests of students and here are some examples of our achievements:
- Back in September we launched a Student Representation Toolkit to enhance the representation system here at the University
- We have been consistently involved in conversations around the University’s response to Covid-19 including the development and implementation of the No Detriment policy
- We took the Lecture Recording policy to Senate to move from an opt-in to an opt-out service which will help increase the number of lectures being recorded
I have enjoyed my year as Vice President Education so much and I can’t wait to be your next President. I’ve learnt a lot along the way so before I sign off, my advice for Gregory next year is don’t be afraid to use your voice! Oh, and take your annual leave, that helps too.
Thanks for reading and I’ll see you on the other side!
Kirsty Summers – Vice President Student Activities 2019-20
I can’t quite fathom that it is already June and our last day is here. The calmness of last summer is a distant memory in comparison to the responsibilities of this role that have been tested throughout this year. It has been a crazy, surreal and, at times, stressful year but I’ll do my best to pick out some of my personal highlights.
From day one, my focus was on Freshers’ Week and how to create the most inclusive and exciting line-up possible. My predecessors had set the bar so high that it was daunting to consider this task. To add my own touch, I wanted to focus on more early evening events that catered to home-students and non-drinkers. Planning a headphone disco in the cloisters will forever be one of my favourite achievements. Alongside this I wanted to address some of the welfare-based challenges that students face starting at University. Working with Tom, the wonderful VP Student Support, I devised the Freshers’ Fair Quiet Hour that helped reduce levels of anxieties and stress for those who needed it most. Although there will always be room for improvement, creating an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere to kickstart the year really was an absolute highlight in this role.
Another personal highlight was our De-stress at a Distance campaign, that saw our usual Exam Destress offering change to an online format. COVID-19 undoubtedly changed what we had expected the second half of our year to look like. Reacting to a global pandemic brought its challenges, particularly for a technophobe like me, but I am so proud of what we achieved alongside our fantastic comms team to help motivate, connect and inspire students throughout this difficult period. It also highlighted the resilience of the wonderful clubs and societies I’ve been lucky enough to work with. The amount of extra effort, dedication and passion that was put into the running and participation of all the extra-curricular activities is admirable and something everyone involved should be incredibly proud of.
There are so many aspects of this job I want to cover, but at the risk of boring everyone I’ll skip to the most enjoyable part. Teamwork. Getting to work with the University, the SRC staff, our council members, and the wider student population has been the most rewarding part of this job. Coming together to improve the student experience has been an absolute privilege and being trusted to represent the diverse and wonderful student cohort has been nothing short of amazing. I also couldn’t write this and not mention my fellow sabbatical officers, Scott, Liam and Tom. For so much of this year we have worked together and after putting up with me they all deserve a medal and a probably a holiday too.
Finally, to pass on the baton to someone as enthusiastic as Amy is a joy. Amy, you are surrounded by the best community of staff and students, so enjoy this year and embrace the challenges. You’ve got this.
Tom McFerran – Vice President Student Support 2019-20
Well it’s been a year since I began, and it feels simultaneously like a week and a decade. We’ve had an eventful year to say the least; the good, the bad and the ugly.
To say this job got a bit stressful at times is an understatement, but it has also been the best way imaginable I could think of starting my first graduate job. I have had some amazing experiences organising events, working on committees with the university, helping write policies and guidelines, and other amazing things. To top it off we ended up having a pandemic in the middle of it all, but we stood strong as a team and as a university community and are starting to see the light at the end of what feels like a very long tunnel.
One of the things I have been incredibly grateful for is the people who have supported all these initiatives. My Welfare and Equality Reps have helped with panel discussions, drop-in surgeries, careers events, film screenings and countless other things, especially around LGBT history month where we had a massive intersectional approach with all the reps, and it was a phenomenal experience. This job wouldn’t be possible without their support.
Aside from the council reps, the SRC has a plethora of other people I need to thank. The Admin Team for sorting everything from calendar meetings to pizza orders, the Advice Centre for having such a passionate drive and a wealth of knowledge that is unbelievably helpful, the management team for guiding us from day 1 and supporting our initiatives, those involved in our Marketing and Comms throughout the year and ensuring we made a presence on campus and engaged with the community. You are all fantastic and I feel lucky to have had such a great team across the organisation.
Lastly, thank you to the university staff who have supported, mentored and spent the time to listen and help us in our work, and push for change for the university to progress and change to be inclusive and accessible to all students. The hours and time put in during this past few months in particular do not go unnoticed.
It’s time to handover to my successor, so to you Ella I say good luck, work hard, enjoy the craic when you can, and you’re going to smash it! | <urn:uuid:77e439cf-4d16-4cde-8582-18783252ca67> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.glasgowstudent.net/news/farewell-blog-gusrc-executive-2019-20/ | 2023-10-03T13:34:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.969449 | 2,466 |
