Imagine your client had a routine blood screen ten weeks into her pregnancy, and the results come back clear. Your client rejoices and goes on with her life. However, seven months later, her child is born with a blood disorder that kills him three weeks later. This was the case for C. S., who not only had to handle the devastation of her son’s diagnosis, but was also faced with the reality that the illness could have been treated months ago if it hadn’t been for a careless lab error.1
While we’d all like to believe cases like this are exceedingly rare, when over 70% of clinical decisions are based on laboratory test results, it’s vital to confront their potential inaccuracies.2 A recent study found that the range of laboratory error is between 0.1% and 3.0%.3 Even with a defect rate of 0.1%, when applied to the seven to ten billion tests run every year in the U.S., that’s seven to ten million patients affected.4 Medical testing requires communication between medical professionals, attention to detail, and properly functioning technology for accuracy. Unfortunately it appears that it might be falling short.
To help understand the obstacles individuals could be facing from the possible poor lab practices, here is an insightful overview of the phenomenon:
What’s going wrong?
There are three stages in the testing process – pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical – and though errors can arise at any stage, between 46% and 68.2% of errors are observed in the pre-analytical phase.5 This is before the physical act of testing even begins, meaning technical failures are less at fault, and human negligence is more to blame. One of the main culprits here is labeling; samples can easily be mislabeled, swapped, or not labeled immediately.6 Additionally, collecting blood samples incorrectly or without awareness of patients’ preexisting conditions are small mistakes that can have enormous consequences.7
Perhaps more serious than the pre-analytical mistakes, though, are the errors that occur when regulations are not abided by in the laboratory where the testing takes place. Often, to cut costs, basic safety measures are not followed. For instance, control samples, which have known values and can be expensive, are used less.8 Similarly, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel discovered that labs were using expired products to screen for cancer and test children for lead poisoning.9 Beyond frugality, certain standards were not kept up in regards to cleanliness and machine functionality. Instruments get dirty if not cleaned routinely; pumps inside machinery break down if not maintained; machines must be calibrated for proper results; blood needs to be kept cold before a transfusion; compounds deteriorate over time if not stored properly.10 If lab technicians and managers don’t follow basic protocol, even due to simple forgetfulness, the costs can be devastating.
How can lab errors be prevented?
Many problems in how lab samples are treated can be easily eliminated simply through better communication among team members. There should be close coordination between the specimen management team, the clinician ordering the test, the phlebotomist, the courier picking up the specimen, and the lab technicians processing the specimen.11 This can help assure that each professional has the proper knowledge to label and test the specimen correctly. In a similar vein, all employees should be offered continued phlebotomy education to keep them up to date on recent developments in error reduction.12
To decrease many of the pre-analysis errors that occur, checking and double-checking cannot be stressed enough. While using technology like bar-coded wristbands and biometric scanning (such as with fingerprints or the iris) can be extremely effective, the usage of two patient identifiers can be all that is needed.13 Requisitions should be checked against results. Specimen containers should be labeled immediately after specimen collection. Machines should be routinely checked and tools cleaned thoroughly. Additionally, all labs should have written procedures posted explaining every step of identification, collection, transport, and preparation for analysis.14 If these criteria are followed closely, and each specimen is recorded in a log book, the risk for error will be significantly minimized.
What to remember:
Lab errors have long been a problem in the medical world. However, over the last decade, there is a new willingness to recognize human error not as inevitable, but as something that can be improved upon. Every patient deserves to have their tests carried out as safely and carefully as possible, and this acknowledgement has helped health care organizations actively work to prevent error incidence.15 Knowing the causes and potential remedies of lab errors helps medical specialists improve their practices, helps patients assist in the pre-analytical accuracy, and helps the attorney understand the potential risks for litigation. | <urn:uuid:cd43f955-f79c-4f1b-ac71-d9a0abe040db> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.legalnursepdx.com/everything-looks-great-or-does-it-how-lab-errors-happen-and-how-they-can-be-minimized/ | 2023-10-03T14:17:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.949849 | 977 |
Oxygen present in water and salt causes corrosion. Salt is hygroscopic in nature and it attracts the water. Water is required for corrosion and salt speeds up the process.
Corrosion is the transfer of electrons from one substance to the other so salt present in water improves the capability of water to carry electron through redox reactions. Redox reactions are the oxidation and reduction reactions. In oxidation a particular substance loses electrons and in reduction a substance gains electrons which are released by the oxidation. When these both reactions took place it is known as redox (Reduction and Oxidation) reaction.
Rusting in metals is the oxidizing of metal to metal oxide. Water acts as the medium to transfer the electrons and salt helps the corrosion process to speed up the process. It is an electrochemical process in which iron loses electrons by oxidation causing the water to break into hydroxide ions and oxygen. Now the iron that has oxidized reacts with the hydroxide ions and oxygen to form metal oxide. These salts remain even if the water is gone and they again start rusting whenever they come in contact with moisture. That is the reason why the metals get rusted more quickly near the beaches or salty places. | <urn:uuid:767a1577-8c49-4422-8f23-f3c7db187248> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.letusfindout.com/why-does-salt-speed-up-corrosion/ | 2023-10-03T15:07:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.956859 | 247 |
Botox® is an incredibly popular injectable treatment that temporarily turns back the hands of time. Residents of the Manhattan Beach neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, rely on Eyal Levit, MD, and the team at Levit Dermatology for top-quality Botox treatment. Booking a visit takes moments, whether you connect via email or by phone.
This FDA-approved medication has been used by Dr. Levit since 1999 for smoothing out wrinkles and reducing excessive sweating in both men & women. Botox® can improve the appearance of lines on the forehead, glabella (frown lines), around the eyes (smile lines), around the mouth, chin, and nose. Dr. Levit has also used Botox® to reshape the eyebrows, giving a more youthful and open appearance to the eyes. The misconception that Botox® can give a person an expressionless appearance stems from past treatments that centered on the elimination of all mimetic (movement) wrinkles.
Dr. Levit uses Botox® from the only FDA-approved manufacturer: Allergan. It is diluted according to the parameters recommended by the leading world experts in Botox® injections. Some of the side effects reported around the country stemmed from untrained people and/or people using cheap, non-FDA-approved Botox®.
Botox® lasts for 3 months after the 1st injection and then 4 months thereafter. Patients may occasionally report it lasting 6 months, (the patients simply see the wrinkles return in 6 months but the Botox® effect has disappeared a few months earlier). One of the reasons some patients report the Botox® did not last the expected 3-4 months is that it may have been too dilute (more water added into the bottle) or not fresh.
Dr. Levit is recognized by Allergen as an approved cosmetic Botox® injector. As part of his responsibilities as Director of Cosmetic & Dermatologic Surgery at Columbia University, St. Lukes’ Hospital, he also trains other physicians in the proper use of Botox® Cosmetic.
Beware of bargain prices! If it seems too good to be true: it probably IS! Dr. Levit offers reasonable prices that are lower than most in Manhattan, NJ, & Long Island because of his location. | <urn:uuid:c4664592-1b26-4077-9875-40783afe0940> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.levitdermatology.com/service/botox | 2023-10-03T13:38:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.942429 | 472 |
Updating your status on Facebook, posting photos on Instagram and Snapchat, Americans are spending approximately five hours a day on mobile devices, according to Flurry, an analytics firm. When Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan American think tank based in Washington, D.C., began tracking social media adoption in 2005, just five percent of American adults used at least one of these platforms. By 2011, that share had risen to half of all Americans, and today 69 percent of the public uses some type of social media. The number of worldwide users is expected to reach some 2.95 billion by 2020, around a third of Earth’s entire population.
Not just that, they can be used to invalidate your version of events. It gets even deeper than this. Social media sites you have visited and liked can be used against you and your personal injury case. If you have liked or followed specific sites or pages, this can indicate preexisting issues to insurance investigators. For instance, if you follow Alcoholic Anonymous and you have been involved in a car crash in which drinking was a factor, this can be a tipoff to those looking into your claim.
Another reality is that today online photos and posts are increasingly being used as evidence in court cases. The bottom line is if you have been injured in an accident and you are in the midst of a personal injury case, use caution when posting on social media. Posting anything online after your accident may be dangerous to your claim, even if you think that what you are posting is harmless or is in no way related to your injury.
Protect yourself and your privacy by not posting:
- Any information about your case or conversations you have had with attorneys
- Details of your medical diagnosis or treatment
- Information about when you returned to work or resumed regular activities
- Expressions of frustration related to the cases
- Details of phone calls, emails, or conversations you have had regarding the case
. Not only should you post with care during this time, but prohibit your friends and family from tagging you in photos, videos, or check-ins. Also, be cautious if you receive friend request during this time, especially from people you do not know. It is also advisable to change your social media settings from public to private. The fact is that once something is posted, it may remain on the Internet permanently, even after you have deleted it. In some cases, it may be best to stop using social media until your case has been resolved.

I bet your phone is in your hand right now! If it isn't, it's pretty close. Our phones are almost an extension of our arms. They're always in reach. It should make sense for it to make our daily lives easier and not just for stalking celebrities on social media. There's a ton of apps that can help with organization, weight loss, and stalking on social media. Here are a few of the apps I use almost daily to make my life easier.
OH EM GEE!! I love this app. Digit is a money-saving app that makes saving money easier than ever. It saves money and I legit don't even know it's happening. I don't remember exactly how I found this app but I'm forever grateful. With digit, you can set goals for big purchases or randomly save for a rainy day.
I travel and eat ... a lot. Those are two of my most favorite things. With Open Table, I sure the absolute best reservation anywhere. One of my coworkers told me about this app and with covid 19 still running the streets, you need a reservation almost everywhere. A few weeks back I was literally praying for a reservation at Chicago Jojos Shake Shack. For some reason, I need to change my reservation and the next available was too late. Open Table must've sensed my sadness because when there was a cancellation I received a notification so I could jump in and claim the spot rightfully mine. When we made it to the restaurant, we headed straight to the front of the line taking the cancellation spot. There was a woman in line trying to sweet-talk her way into a table, I kinda showed her Open Table and asked her to step aside. My table was waiting. LOL
If you have any presence on social media this app is a gawd send! PERIOD!!! I make almost everything I use for my brand with Canva. There are so many templates, stock photos, and well everything!! Seriously everything. My advice, download it. NOW!
Another app sent from the divine!! Guys as long as I put things into this app without a down they get done. Todoist is a great organizational tool. The notification reminders keep you on task when checking things off the to-do list. I get overwhelmed and forgetful (hence the need for Todoist) but with a little help, it keeps me on target to reach my goals!!
During the beginning of my "lifestyle change," I was extremely overwhelmed. There was just so much to track. Lose it definitely came in handy when it came to tracking food and water intake and even my exercises. It's very user-friendly and syncable (is that a word) with your apple watch. Once I was connected it automatically tracked the thing important to my lifestyle change. Another must-have app.
Do you have or are you planning to give any of my favs a try? Which apps have you downloaded that you can't live without? | <urn:uuid:e6a12b3e-c379-43af-a9a2-66948c7adc4e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.lipstickzngunz.com/post/5-apps-that-make-my-life-easier | 2023-10-03T14:57:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.969621 | 626 |
by John Shackford
The Stuckslager home was built by Harrison Stuckslager, a prominent Lisbon businessman, in 1876/77 at a cost of about $10,000. The property, located at 307 North Jackson Street in Lisbon, is situated on an entire city block in the northeast quadrant of the town.
Harrison Stuckslager was born in Pennsylvania in 1825. He arrived in Iowa in 1851, where he operated a sawmill in Marion for three years. He then moved to Kansas for two years before returning to Pennsylvania. He married Mary Coldron in 1866 and then returned to Iowa, where Harrison raised crops and livestock. He had this house built for his bride, a young lady who waited for him for many years while he made the fortune her father demanded prior to consenting to the marriage. Stuckslager made his fortune in banking, lumber, and cattle. He was the first president of the First National Bank of Lisbon, established in 1874.
This house is an example of Nineteenth Century Anglo-Italian design, an architectural style found throughout Iowa. The overall dimensions of the house are 42' x 44'. It is of solid brick construction with a stone foundation. Two stories high, it is built in the shape of a cross. The house displays many elements common to the Italianate style: the wide bracketed eaves, decorative window hoods, windows with keystones, projecting bays, and six elaborate porches. The front entrance has etched glass in the heavy doors and an arched transom panel. A doorbell is set into the center of the front door. The original iron fence runs the length of the property on the east side (North Jackson Street). The parkway still remains at the front of the property, including limestone stairs that were used for getting in and out of carriages.
In its early days, the grounds contained semi-formal gardens, an orchard, a small pasture for horses, and ornamental shrubbery Mary Stuckslager brought with her form the East to plant on the grounds of her new home.
The original carriage house and woodshed remain on the property. The carriage house is two levels, with doors on both the north and east sides. Centered on the roof is a square cupola with small hipped roof ending in a finial and weathervane.
The interior of the home is characterized by simplicity, with cleanly-molded doorways, fireplaces, and the main staircase. The main entrance opens directly into the main hall, with a staircase (illuminated by an oval window) to the right and front parlor to the left. The rear parlor, dining room and kitchen are arranged from south to north. Walnut shutters adorn the windows. The floors are made of pine except for the dining room, which features alternating strips of cherry and maple. The main-staircase has a smoothly curved rail and leads to three bedrooms on the second floor.
Being a prominent Lisbon family, they hosted many important guests, including musicians performing at nearby Cornell College in Mt. Vernon who would come to the Stuckslager house for the evening to socialize and perform a concert for guests.
This house remained in the Stuckslager family for three generations. Harrison’s only son, Willard, resided in the home until he passed the property down to Harrison’s granddaughter, Rowena Stuckslager Friedrich. She was the final family member to live in the home, now owned by Donald Crawford. | <urn:uuid:fa2f3671-e406-4d99-ba6f-6d207bb4a804> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.lisbonhistoricpreservation.com/stucklager | 2023-10-03T15:08:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.966333 | 735 |
Red Wanting Blue July 20
Hailed as “Midwestern rock heroes” by
American Songwriter, Red Wanting Blue has spent the last twenty years establishing themselves as one of the indie world’s most enduring and self-sufficient acts, notching appearances everywhere from Letterman
to NPR and reaching #3 on the Billboard
Heatseekers chart, all while operating largely outside the confines of the traditional music industry. For their powerful new album, The Wanting, the band handed production duties over to acclaimed singer/songwriter Will Hoge, who helped them create their most ambitious, fully realized collection yet.
Alternately triumphant and melancholic, the songs on The Wanting are both muscular and nuanced, with frontman Scott Terry’s epic, heartfelt vocals soaring above the band’s gritty brand of driving rock and roll.
Red Wanting Blue is:
Scott Terry (Vocals, Tenor Guitar, Ukulele)
Mark McCullough (Bass, Chapman Stick, Vocals)
Greg Rahm (Guitar, Keyboards, Vocals)

Advantages of playing in a mobile casino
Any mobile casino brings two basic advantages over any other form of casino, simplicity and accessibility. Top mobile casinos strive hard to keep the interface of the mobile casino app or the mobile casino site as simple as possible. As the casino will be operated on a smaller screen as compared to the PC, it becomes important to design the interface in a way which doesn’t seem complex. And the second advantage is the accessibility which is well known to everyone. It is no secret to anyone how easy it is to carry smartphones to any corner of the world. The only requirement for a mobile casino is an internet connection and a device which can support internet features. Hence, mobile casinos are highly accessible, anywhere, anytime.
How to start playing at a mobile casino?
Playing at a mobile casino is as easy as playing any other mobile game. There are some minimalistic steps that must be followed and that is all, you are ready to experience casino gambling in its best form.
The requirements to start gambling in a mobile casino are minimal. The device you have decided to play must be based on an Android or iOS device.

If you are already a customer at the casino, just sign-in with your previous details. For new customers, you will have to sign-up with the casino to avail all the casino games. The registration might take some time as Canadian mobile casinos require the account details and identity to be thoroughly verified for security reasons.
Note: On signing up, you will be awarded casino bonuses. Make sure to check all the bonuses offered in the mobile casino in the casino reviews or casino official sites. Also, don’t forget to read the terms and conditions before claiming any of the bonuses.

Online Cash Loans
If cold hard cash is what you need, we may be able to help you with that by giving you access to an extensive online lending network. Even with bad credit, you may be able to get an offer. Let’s find out.
If you are looking for money online, here are a few of your options.
These will be your easiest and quickest option. Cash advances take little in the way of qualifications, compared to conventional bank financing. In fact, many lenders do not even pull a credit report from one of the three major credit bureaus. Instead, they tend to use less traditional means of credit verification and their requirements are much less stringent. If you have a source of income, a checking account and a valid ID, you are well on your way to getting approved.
Getting A Bad Credit Cash Advance
The first step is to get a quote. To do that, you have a couple of options. You can go to a direct lender and apply or you can work with a loan network. The problem with direct lenders is that they all have unique requirements. So, if you get turned down, even for something trivial, you have to start all over again with a new lender. Loan networks solve this problem. With a network, if one lender turns you down, you get another shot with another lender. This happens again and again, automatically until a lender is found that wants to make you an offer. Want to see how it works? Get access to our loan network with the short quote form below.
Is An Online Cash Advance The Right Move
Like with any financial decision, you should give thought to weather a cash advance is the right choice for you and your particular situation. These loans are quite convenient and often beneficial to consumers but it is not all roses. There are pros and cons to taking one out.
On the pro side, you have numerous benefits. First and foremost is the fact that approval is super easy. Almost anyone who has a source of income and has never defaulted on a payday loan stands a great chance of approval. Another great thing is that they fund super fast. Most loans will be in your bank account the very next business day. That is hard to beat with any other loan. Finally, these loans are simple to apply for. It takes just a few minutes to fill out your quote form and there is usually little to no additional verification needed.
On the con side of things, there are also numerous things to mention. First, you have the loan fees. Lenders for these types of loans typically talk in fees instead of interest. An example of a fee might be $15 on every $100 borrowed. Doesn’t sound like much but when you factor in the second negative, the short loan terms, you get a very high effective Annual Percentage Rate. One final con to a cash advance is that the amount that you can borrow is limited. In many states, you can borrow up to $1000 but some states limit this amount further and in some states, cash advances are not allowed at all.
Online Installment Loans
Installment Loans will be a bit trickier to get. Your lender will be much more likely to pull a traditional credit report with one of these loans so if your credit is really bad, you might not qualify. If you qualify for a bad credit installment loan however, you get a number of benefits that a cash advance can not offer. Namely, you can get more money and you will have much longer to pay the loan back. This can be of great help to you if you are using your loan to catch up on bills and need time to get your finances in order.
Getting A Bad Credit Installment Loan
Just like with cash advances, you can get a quote for an installment loan online. It does not take long to fill out your quote form and to get your answer. If approved, your lender will give you the loan details and most of the time, the entire process can be handled online without additional documentation. Sometimes, a lender might require a dew documents for the loan or will need to contact you directly, so make sure your email address and phone number are listed correctly.
Is An Installment Loan Right For You
Loans are never to be taken lightly even if you have few choices due to bad or poor credit. So, before you commit to that tantalizing loan offer, take a look at the pros and cons of a bad credit installment loan.
Let’s look at all of the good things first. On a good note, you can do just about everything online to get this bad credit loan. That makes it super convenient to get your loan answer so that you can solve your money needs. In addition, an online installment loan can provide you the opportunity to pay out your loan in multiple installments. This allows you to spread out the debt over many months. That will drastically lower your payment and give you some breathing room to catch up on expenses.
On the bad side of things, you have the fact that these will still be high interest loans in most cases. You may not be paying payday loan levels of interest but you will still be paying a lot of money in interest. The overall interest, in fact, may wind up being more than the charges from a smaller payday loan. Finally, installment loans tend to be for more money and you may be qualified for an amount that you do not need and really can not afford to pay back. Be careful with how much of a loan you accept.
Online Auto Loans
If you are looking for a loan specifically to pay for a new vehicle, you are in luck. Numerous companies make it easy for you to shop for a loan online, even if you have bad credit. So, if you are afraid of the embarrassment of getting turned down for a loan at an auto dealership, you can do it all online in your home. Private, secure and embarrassment free.
Getting A Bad Credit Auto Loan
Like everything else online, getting an auto loan quote is super easy, even with bad credit. There are numerous outlets that will let you do it securely and in just a few minutes. A dealership can take hours to do what these websites do in just minutes so save yourself the headaches and try an online company such as 1-800 Auto Yes or simply use our installment form at the top of the page to get an offer. You may be able to get up to 20000 dollars deposited into your checking account to use for your purchase.
Is An Online Auto Loan The Best Thing
The answer to this question will probably depend on the loan offer that you receive but there are pros and cons to everything financial on the internet and in person. Here are some things to think about.
The Good stuff with online auto loans is that they are easy to apply for. It is much easier than going to a dealership and waiting hours for a loan approval. They often wait until you have spent half a day there, wasting your time before hitting you with an absurd offer. This is so you want to just get the whole thing over with and you will accept anything. By contrast, with an online auto loan, you can walk in with financing already arranged. In addition, not every dealership finance department is on top of their game. In many cases, an online finance company may be able to get you an approval where the dealership can not. In any case, if you walk in to a dealer with financing arranged, you have a starting point on your interest rate and can challenge the dealer to beat it.
As far as bad things go, there are not too many bad points. One though might be the fact that these companies often specialize in bad credit which means that the rates and terms of your loan might not be agreeable to you. Still, it gives you a jumping off point for when you have to deal with the dealership finance department.
Fun Fact: While gap insurance is a valuable thing when buying a vehicle, most people do not get the best deal on it. The dealership will often sell it to you for higher than they need to to make money. So, a gap policy for 800 dollars can often be negotiated down to a lower amount, even as low as 300 dollars. Check our article on other ways to make $500 quickly.
Online Home Loans
You get every other type of loan online, so why not a home loan. The days of a local broker are coming to an end with online companies offering easier and faster loans, even if you have bad credit. If you have bad credit, conventional financing is probably out the window. You will want to consider FHA, USDA and VA loans. All of these programs will work with those with lower credit scores. FHA will require a minimum of 3.5% down while USDA and VA loans can do loans with no downpayment. There are restrictions with both of those loan types however. With a VA loan, you must of course be a veteran and with a USDA loan you must buy a home in an area considered rural and it is subject to income restrictions.
Getting A Bad Credit Home Loan
The first step in getting an online home loan with bad credit is filling out your application. Choose a quality online lender that has a history of working with those with bad credit such as BadCreditLoans.Com. A company that specializes in such a thing will have a couple things going for them. One, they will have previous experience getting tough applications approved. They will also be willing to work with you even with the going gets tough. A regular broker might spend more of there time focusing on their high credit applicants.
Is An Online Home Loan For You
Only you can answer this question but, yes it probably is. Everything is online these days, so why not do your loan online, even if you have”bad credit”? With an online home loan, you will be able to do everything easier and from the comfort of your own home. It really is a win win situation but you decide for yourself.
Improving Your Bad Credit
If you have bad credit and need a loan, the above resources should be of use to you. If you were unable to secure the financing that you needed with one of those options, it is probably time to turn to improving your credit. It is not as hard as it seems and most of the things that you need to do to increase your credit are actually common sense. Here are some useful tips.
Fix Bad Credit With On Time Payments
Paying your bills on time is probably the single biggest thing that you can do to improve your credit rating. A single “30 day late” strike on your report can cost you 20-30 points or more. If you have some “30 day” or even “60 day” late strikes on your report the way to fix it is to start making your payments on time. In as little as six months you can start seeing your scores increase. Give it a year and you could see a drastic improvement.
Low Balances Improves Bad Credit
Another huge score factor is the amount of credit that you have available. Keep your balances low. It shows that you have credit available to you and that you know how to use credit responsibly. How low? Aim for having your credit balances at or below 30% of the limit. So, if you have 10000 dollars in available credit, you should be using no more than 3000 dollars of it.
That is the ideal amount but you will see improvements in your score incrementally as you lower your balances.
A Secured Credit Card Can Help
So, what do you do if you have no credit available and your score is too low? Get a secured credit card. Most cards are for in the neighborhood of $500. Open one of these accounts, use it responsibly and pay your bills on time. In about 6 months, apply for an unsecured card and get your credit moving in the right direction. | <urn:uuid:63a5669b-885c-4435-9d6f-350a227b6859> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.loanmonkey.net/online-loan-options-for-bad-credit/ | 2023-10-03T15:27:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.965256 | 2,444 |
“Welcome, may I take your order please?” This is a phrase many fast-food fans are all too familiar with. This automated voice will soon make way for more AI voice bots, learning your preferences, scanning your number plates, making the customer experience faster and more pleasant. One way interactions with voice machines will be replaced with full on conversations with machine operators, greeting hungry customers in drive-thru queues. According to the Food Institute, soon some drive-thru restaurants will feature recognizable voices of celebrities or sports heroes.
White Castle in the U.S is the latest franchise to add AI voice bots at its front counter. The burger chain revealed in a press statement that it will be using SoundHound’s AI-powered voice bots. It will be implemented at over 100 of its restaurants by the end of next year.
Steve Orenstein is the CEO of Locate2u. He is keeping a close eye on the latest developments regarding AI and how it’s revolutionizing the e-commerce and delivery industries. Having been in charge of successful companies from the age of 19, Orenstein believes it’s only the beginning of where faster delivery will improve rapidly.
Conversations with a robot
“When you think about the drive through restaurants they can recognize your number plate, they will be able to look at your previous order history and would be able to remember what you ordered last time,” says Orenstein.
Zohaib Ahmed, the CEO of Resemble AI told The Food Institute the plan is to make machine voices sound less artificial. “Customers may find it easier to understand and interact with a voice-ordering system that uses a voice that sounds more like a real person, rather than a robotic or artificial voice.”
Robots replacing humans?
Surely there will be concerns from the labour force whether this would drive workers out of their jobs. It’s a natural concern. Orenstein is confident this won’t be the case. “There is no doubt that it’s going to happen.”
A recent study conducted by the National Restaurant Association called Restaurant Industry Report highlighted the importance of growing job opportunities in the sector. “The foodservice industry workforce is projected to grow by 500,000 jobs, for total industry employment of 15.5 million by the end of 2023 and surpassing pre-pandemic levels.”
More restaurants will be using technology to boost the workforce, to put less pressure on humans. This could drive more customers and revenue.
AI could lead to price reductions of products
There are many factors to celebrate with the normalization of AI, including the impact on cost of living. At a time where the economic climate is making citizens nervous globally, it could result in products becoming cheaper.
“I think it’s going to mean the cost of living will be going down. It’s going to become more affordable to do certain things. We are living in an environment right now where there is a lot of inflation increasing costs. AI might be something that is going to help reduce inflation. It’s definitely interesting to see how AI impacts businesses and general employees,” said Orenstein. | <urn:uuid:48a07ac5-d7db-42d8-8268-0dbea4284089> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.locate2u.com/restaurants/white-castle-on-boards-ai-voice-bots-to-take-drive-thru-customers-orders/ | 2023-10-03T15:03:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.940738 | 672 |
The New Generation of Utility Companies
Updated: Feb 27, 2019
The energy industry will see unprecedented changes over the next few years, and the utility companies who will remain competitive are those capable of breaking away from traditional business models and adapting to emerging technologies.
Running a utility company has traditionally been expensive in terms of capital, but very simple in principle. Basically, there have been three main concerns:
Bringing more generation capacity online as power demand grows.
Expanding the power grid to accommodate the increase in generation.
Reducing operating expenses.
Also, given that energy is fundamental for society, governments have introduced regulatory frameworks that guarantee profits for utility companies. In short, is was a safe investment for anyone with the capital.
However, this is starting to change. There are several emerging technologies that will completely change the rules of the game, disrupting a century-old business model. Utility companies can see these trends as opportunities and evolve accordingly, or they can cling to traditional models and risk going out of business. The most relevant technologies that are currently on the rise and could disrupt how utilities operate are:
Small-scale energy generation
Distributed energy storage
The Internet of Things (IoT) and smart devices
The traditional business model worked for so long because most of the value was concentrated in energy generation and distribution. However, this is no longer the case as new value streams emerge, most of them located outside the scope of operation of utility companies.
Utilities Must Open Up and Innovate
With all the recent technological innovation, energy consumers are now becoming partially or fully independent from utility companies – they can generate and store their own energy, or they can manage their demand according to the electric rate structure so that their power bill is as low as possible. Any utility companies who decide to ignore this do so at their own risk!
However, this also creates opportunities for utilities to develop new revenue streams that were not previously available:
Information Technologies: Utilities can deploy measurement and data aggregation services to offer their customers enhanced visibility of their energy consumption. If there are demand-side management measures in place, the utility can even offer the automation service. With the adoption of variable renewable sources such as wind and solar power, utilities now have greater need for energy storage – what better way to develop the capacity that to offer incentives for their customers, avoiding huge capital expenditures!
Technology Providers: Not all customers who deploy small-scale renewable energy purchase the system; a considerable portion leases them from third parties. Electric vehicles are already following suit, and the same trend could occur with smart appliances and energy storage. Utilities can take advantage of the fact of the existing business relationship with their customers to lease technology.
The Central Role of Monitoring and Control Systems
Most innovations that are disrupting the energy industry have a common denominator: they are located beyond the power meter. This means that, for a utility company to successfully deploy new products and services, a reliable monitoring and control system must be in place. Customers can be granted access to informational dashboards, or even control features to adjust they preferred settings while operation is optimized in the background.
Logic Energy offers extensive experience collaborating with utility companies in the deployment of monitoring and control systems at customer premises, with experience that includes:
British Gas: ECOview monitoring system for renewable heating installations by Econergy, a British Gas subsidiary.
Real Value: Demand-side management with smart heaters, a project led by Glen Dimplex and Intel, and funded by Horizon 2020.
Scottish & Southern Energy: Monitoring system for a district heating installation by SSE.
With a decade of experience, the technical know-how of industry experts, and expertise on both hardware and software, Logic Energy can be the technology partner of choice for any utility company seeking to improve its value proposition. | <urn:uuid:5a041a61-eebf-499d-aef9-291d14f82bb7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.logicenergy.com/post/the-new-generation-of-utility-companies | 2023-10-03T13:38:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.95665 | 777 |

KINDNESS BRAVERY CURIOSITY AMBITION EQUALITY RESPECT
Values are the principles, beliefs and standards that guide our feelings, thinking, learning and behaviour. These values underpin all we do at school. We use them within our academic learning and achievements, working hard to apply them across our whole curriculum. We use them to support us with developing personally, reflecting on how our values can be applied to help us become, confident, independent and responsible citizens, within our school, community, country and world. We celebrate the use of our values weekly and are recognised if we use our values consistently and naturally in and around school. We aim to always show these values, regardless of the situation or time.
Our own set of values reflects and shapes our personal view of the world and how we interact with one another. These values are understood and practiced across the world. By thinking about and discussing values we are developing our own views and opinions and respect those of others.
We want to create the climate for a happy and successful school. We believe that positive values should underpin our curriculum and all of school life.
Together as a school, we discussed over 50 different values. We worked in teams to decide on the 6 values we felt were the most important for our school. We recognise and encourage an ever-changing set of values when we feel it is appropriate. We know that us as children, staff and parents as well as the world around us is constantly changing and our values change to reflect where we are at present. | <urn:uuid:b9677829-63f0-496f-9c95-8fe6ceca902d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.londoncolney.herts.sch.uk/our-school/our-values/ | 2023-10-03T13:54:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.941664 | 311 |

For every person that pays income tax/social security fees to The Netherlands it is usually compulsory to take out the ‘Basisverzekering’. Sometimes exceptions are made.
Yes you do, if you pay income tax/social security fees to The Netherlands. Travel Insurance policies or international policies are not being accepted as a substitute for the Dutch public health insurance (‘Basisverzekering’).
Every health insurance company in The Netherlands offers the ‘Basisverzekering’ next to their own supplementary packages.
The content/coverage of the ‘Basisverzekering’ is determined by the Dutch Government every year. However, despite of the fact that all health insurance companies offer exactly the same product, the premiums may vary!
In The Netherlands the health Insurance premiums are being taken upfront (for the month to come). You can expect the premium to be deducted from your account around the last working day of the month.
The main reason that the premium varies is that the health insurance companies try to attract people by promoting the ‘Basisverzekering’ with a high voluntary excess or they offer just a limited amount of contracted care providers. This way they can lower the monthly premium.
Excess/deductibles called ‘Eigen Risico’ is the amount you have to pay yourself before you receive a reimbursement from your insurance company. The ‘Basisverzekering’ includes a compulsory excess for everyone aged 18 or older. In principle, you will pay the first €385,- euro of care costs out of your own pocket (except for when choosing for the No Risk I supplement on top of the HollandZorg public health insurance). You can also opt to add a voluntary excess to your compulsory excess in order to reduce the premium for your standard package. The higher your voluntary excess, the lower the premium you will be charged. Please be aware of the risks when you consider a voluntary excess!
The HollandZorg public health insurance (‘Basisverzekering’) itself is not free from compulsory excess/ ‘Eigen Risico’. However the compulsory excess/ ‘Eigen Risico’ can be covered via a supplement if people take out a policy through LoonZorg.
On top of the HollandZorg public health insurance LoonZorg offers the ‘No Risk’ additional packages. In order to avoid unexpected- and administrative care expenses afterwards, the No Risk I supplement has been added to cover compulsory excess/’Verplicht Eigen Risico’ of the ‘Basisverzekering’. Besides the coverage of the ‘Verplicht Eigen Risico’ the supplements also offer a coverage for extra dental care, repatriation within geographical Europe, extra expenses for medicines and physiotherapy. More information you will find in the policy conditions.
Including the No Risk I and No Risk II package, the 2023 HollandZorg public health insurance has a monthly premium of 145,20 euro. The average premium of the ‘Basisverzekering’ in 2023 is 140,- euro per month. So together with not having to pay for the excess ‘Verplicht Eigen Risico’ this ‘No-Risk policy package can save you more than 400,- euro easily.
In order to join this HollandZorg-LoonZorg collective agreement you will have to meet the following requirements:
You’re a non-Dutch resident, which means you do not hold a Dutch passport;
People have to be employed in the Netherlands (contribute towards Dutch Social security);
People will have to meet the requirements in order to join the Loonzorg collective agreement
The Healthcare Institute tracks down people that are uninsured. People that are uninsured can expect to receive a fine of approximately 400,- euro. Also the Healthcare Institute has the right to take out insurance for people that are not insured. The standard premium will be withheld from their salary, benefits or other income for 12 months.
You can change health insurers at the end of each year.* Important is to cancel your old insurance before the 1st of January and to take out new insurance before the 1st of February. You will then be insured retroactively as from the 1st of January.
* Switching during the year is possible when you switch from one (employer’s-) collective health care plan to another.
LoonZorg offers a transfer service. We will cancel your old insurance for you if you take out a new policy via LoonZorg before the 29th of December.
The HollandZorg public health insurance policy is an in kind (‘natura’)-policy. This means that usually the care providers are able to send the bills directly to the health insurance company. In case of visiting a non-contracted care provider, a dentist, or a GP that you are not registered at, you may have to pay upfront. In that case you can upload the invoice to HollandZorg via the portal or the claim app.
HollandZorg has contracts with all public hospitals in The Netherlands. As well you can visit any GP of your own choice (near your home address). Should you decide to visit a care provider outside of the hospital please be advised to check the organization with us or HollandZorg upfront.
Yes, they do! Children under the age of 18 do have to be insured but do not pay a premium. LoonZorg can help you out to register your children.
In case of emergencies people are advised to first visit their house doctor (GP), if possible. The GP can take care of a lot of your problems him-/herself.
In case you need to visit a specialist you will have to have a referral from your GP before you make an appointment. | <urn:uuid:178a6db7-06d2-4413-b579-8bae04833b49> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.loonzorg.com/faq/ | 2023-10-03T12:53:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.931054 | 1,222 |

It’s the small things that thrill your heart when you go from blindness to eyesight, from the blackness to brightness.
That’s what Eliot discovered after double cataract surgery at the Miracle Campus. “I can see to sign my name so you can take my photo,” he said. “I can see you writing in that little book. It’s all so new.”
Chuckling, Eliot exclaimed, “I had two eyes that could not see. Now I have two eyes that can see.”
|Eliot is wheeled into CARES registration area by TLC staff. He can see nothing but has come to the Miracle Campus to witness a miracle.|
Eliot, age 76, is the husband of three wives, all living and all living in the same vicinity. Number three wife came with him to The Luke Commission campus during a CARES surgery session. “She is my last and youngest one,” he explained.
The first two wives reside on the family homestead. Eliot’s third wife, Mary, stays at her own home, although she visits Eliot every morning and evening “to make sure he is okay.”
Mary said of her mate, “He could not know what was happening with anything before.”
|“What can you see, Babe?” his wife Mary asks, right after surgery bandages are removed.|
“Now I can observe what is going on in my fields,” Eliot noted, shortly after the bandages were removed from his eyes. “Today I see people’s clothing and the colors. Oh, it’s so good to see colors again.”
He had not been able to see for two years because of dense cataracts. When he came for surgery, Eliot told TLC staff: “I am not going to let this opportunity pass me by and only do one eye. Please operate on them both.”
While staying at the Miracle Campus, Eliot was wheeled around in a large wheelchair provided by TLC. A big man with a bigger laugh, Eliot said, “My legs swell. I can walk a little with crutches. But I can not move fast, and things move fast around here.”
Eliot kept tapping his heart, smiling and clapping after his eye bandages were removed the day following surgery. He could not contain his joy even an hour later.
|“What do I see? Colors, people smiling…”|
Six months earlier, Eliot was assured at a rural TLC mobile outreach that he would receive help. “They told me to just be patient. They would call and pick me up when the special doctors came.
“I hope God gives The Luke Commission many more days to work here and to help us Emaswati,” he said repeatedly, each time in slightly different words.
Added Mary, “I will come next year and get my eyes washed.”
Mary is the mother of 7 children with Eliot; 4 are living, and 3 have died. His other 2 wives gave him 9 children, of which 2 have passed away.
In all, the jovial man who commanded the space around him wherever he sat had 18 children. When he left the Miracle Campus, Eliot took a huge piece of happiness with him, even as he noticed his own little finger…and held it up with a wave of thankfulness.

Accentuate your Best Features
BRONZE & GLOW
Always been too scared to use a bronzer? "Too orange" or "Too made up"?
- Bronzer is an awesome tool that ANYONE can use for a sun kissed glow or when you want to wear more muted tones next to your face
- A few well placed strokes of Bronzer you can add warmth to your face and accentuate your best features.
The basic principles of sculpting the face are:
- Add depth where you want areas to recede
- Add a highlight/glow to the areas that you want to bring forward
- Sculpt under the cheekbones, as it pulls the face ‘up & in’ and lets the lighter tops of the cheekbones pop forward in contrast
- Selecting the right brush for your look is important

Unread, developed by Jared Sinclair, is my new favorite RSS reader for iPhone. Unread is on my Home screen, on the same spot that Reeder held since late 2009 when I first reviewed it. Unread provides a fantastic mix of elegant typography, intuitive gesture-based, one-handed navigation, iOS 7 features, and modern sharing tools that, in my opinion, make it the best RSS reader for iPhone today.
The Sound Of Settling
I’ve been using Reeder for over four years, and the app hasn’t changed much. It received interface refinements through the years and support for more RSS services was added after Google Reader’s demise in 2013, but it’s no secret that, for months, Reeder stagnated, with no updates to reassure users that Silvio Rizzi still had big plans for the app. Not that the lack of updates was a problem per se: Reeder was a great app and it always kept working, but seven months without updates on the iPhone and the removal of the iPad and Mac versions from the App Store didn’t suggest that Reeder was on track for major changes.
In September 2013, just a week before iOS 7, Rizzi released Reeder 2, a new app for iPhone and iPad. Reeder 2 brought a completely new UI for the iPad and an evolution of the iPhone’s one, leveraging new animations and transitions for navigation inside feeds and articles. My review wasn’t completely positive: while I lauded the app’s speed, elegance, and familiarity, I also stressed that, in the age of Mr. Reader, Reeder for iPad was too little, too late for my workflow. I concluded by saying that Reeder was a “beautiful and familiar app that could have taken bigger risks”. In spite of the fresh(ish) coat of paint, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Reeder 2 wasn’t exactly new or advancing the basics of the app in meaningful ways.
Especially if you’ve been waiting for an update to Reeder for iPad, maybe a redesigned Reeder that doesn’t go crazy with new features but that instead brings a cleaner reading and syncing experience is exactly what you wanted from Rizzi. Reeder 2 is a fine piece of software – it certainly looks and works better than the majority of RSS clients on the App Store – but my hope was that Rizzi would include new functionalities in the sharing and browsing departments. I guess that, with Reeder 2, I was expecting the same impact that Reeder 1 had in 2009, whereas what I found was a beautiful, solid, but familiar (and trite, in some areas) take on the same app.
I was hopeful that the new foundation would give Rizzi time to regroup and evaluate how Reeder could add new iOS 7 features without losing its nature in the process, but, four months and a 2.1 update later, things haven’t changed much. That’s not necessarily a bad thing – good software takes time, especially when you’re an indie developer – but, as a user, I was curious to see whether other RSS readers could satisfy my news-reading needs better.
Why You’d Want To Read Here
I’ll admit that when I first heard of Unread, I thought it was one of those “minimal” apps with a focus on elite typography and other contemporary design trends that I never fully understood. I was happy with Reeder, and I read this:
Let Unread be an opportunity to break away from your old reading habits. Let Twitter or App.net be the place for loud, busy feeds.
I made Unread because I wanted to get back to a more deliberate style of reading. I designed it for times of quiet focus. With warm typography and a sparse interface, it invites me to return to the way I used to read before I fell into the bad habit of skimming and forgetting.
I didn’t know Jared, and I assumed that Unread would end up becoming a niche, probably attractive way of reading RSS that, however, wasn’t for me. I do subscribe to a lot of feeds (more than 100) and I tend to scroll past most of the headlines I see on a daily basis. I don’t have to read everything, nor do I want to. RSS remains a convenient, open technology to subscribe to interesting blogs and passively receive new articles; in the age of Twitter streams and “curation algorithms”, I stick with it. Based on the public pitch, I thought that I wasn’t the target audience for Unread.
A couple of weeks later, my partner in crime Stephen Hackett asked me if I had seen Jared’s teaser of Unread. I replied that I did, but that I wasn’t interested. He told me that the app had a lot of potential and that there were some unique ideas worth checking out, and on the same day I received a beta of the app. The following day, I deleted Reeder and put Unread on my Home screen. I’ve been using it every day since.
Feed Wrangler is my RSS service of choice. I subscribe to about a hundred feeds and I organize them in four Smart Streams. I stay on top of RSS all day: I open my reader in the morning, when I usually find about 70 items waiting for me; during the day and until I wrap up work, I get hundreds of other articles that I either skim or read inside my RSS reader, starring some of them for later. I wouldn’t say that I read RSS in “quiet times of focus” – more like “busy times while everything is happening”. Could Unread work for me?
The beauty of RSS is in portable, personal, and private decision-making: I can skim headlines or tap an article that piques my interest and spend 30 minutes reading it. I’m not forced to publicly “like” or “broadcast” an article. I can star it, forget about it, and go back to it later. I can check for articles while I’m buying pasta and RSS won’t judge me.
Unread supports Feed Wrangler, Feedly, and Feedbin. If you use any other service or prefer to read RSS with no sync, you’re out of luck. It’s iPhone-only, $2.99 at launch, and it supports iOS 7 background fetch.
The initial screen of the app is a home page that shows the app’s logo, the current date, accounts, and Extras such as settings, a tutorial, and a description of the app’s philosophy (an in-app version of Jared’s aforementioned pitch). The addition of the date in the dashboard is a seemingly trivial choice, but it contributes to setting the tone for Unread: “here’s what you have today”, as opposed to “here’s what we just synced back from a server”. I obsess over subtleties, and I like this one.
The basic flow of the app is business as usual. There are buttons to view Unread, All, and Starred articles; for Feed Wrangler, you get Smart Streams immediately below articles, followed by individual subscriptions. Articles are displayed vertically with titles, excerpts, time stamps, and feed name. Tap an article and you’re in reading mode, where you’ll start noticing Jared’s choices for the app.
There are no toolbars in Unread. The app is based on the premise that Mail-like layouts aimed at putting feed management in your face shouldn’t take away from content, which is a very Apple-like way of thinking. Articles take over the entire screen, and the app is adorned by beautiful typography that visually differentiates titles (condensed, bold) from feed names (red), author name and date/time stamp (italic, light gray) and body text (regular weight, black). Articles you’ve read are dimmed and hyperlinks are highlighted in red. The app has support for themes: by default, it comes with Day (my pick) and Night themes, and while more can be unlocked (with a system similar to Clear), they’ve all been balanced for the reading experience, making content understandable at a glance.
Unread uses the excellent Whitney font by H&FJ, and it’s strikingly different from most RSS readers, which tend to rely on system fonts provided by Apple. Whitney is sophisticated, but not arrogantly so; even as a type newbie, I found it to be a great choice for both skimming and reading.
The downside is that Unread leaves no room for user customization: you can’t change the default font, only the size (which is done in the app, not in iOS’ Dynamic Type settings).
Initially, I wasn’t sold on the idea of removing toolbars completely: I understand the desire to prioritize content and color, but buttons are handy. As I kept using Unread, though, I realized that I wasn’t missing unified status bars or toolbars full of buttons, and I started adapting to Unread’s other core concept: gestures. Unread can be always used with one hand and every action can be conveniently activated with taps, long taps, and swipe gestures.
And why not? With iOS 7, Apple added the possibility to navigate back and forth between views of an app by swiping from the edge of the screen – a feature that I’ve grown to like immensely on a day-to-day basis as I highly value one-handed operation of my iPhone and I sometimes struggle to reach out to the Back button in the upper left corner of the screen.
Sinclair took the idea a step further and eschewed the Back button completely, opting for a gesture-only approach that makes navigating Unread a pleasure. Navigation in the app is fast: using Apple-provided APIs for physics recognition, Sinclair wrote Unread’s stacked navigation from scratch, which means that when you swipe to go back and forth, screens move around quickly and smoothly. This is one of my favorite details of the app: quick swipes equal really quick “push” for the app’s screens, which, in practice, makes Unread responsive and snappy. You can swipe anywhere (not just at the edge) on the screen to navigate back/forward, and I find Unread’s gesture-based navigation well done and satisfying. It’s fast.
Gestures are also used to trigger pull to refresh, article options, and sharing – and that’s where I believe Sinclair hit it out of the park with this 1.0 version.
First off, refresh: you don’t have to. Thanks to iOS 7, Sinclair built support for background refresh in Unread, thus allowing the app to fetch articles in the background, letting iOS figure out a proper schedule for updates. Like other apps that use this technology, the frequency of updates depends on various factors such as how many times you tend to launch an app during the day, network conditions, and battery life – in other words, Unread can’t tell iOS to, say, “refresh exactly every 5 minutes” and everything should “just work” thanks to iOS 7.
If you’ll start using Unread a lot, iOS will learn your usage patterns and refresh feeds in the background at a higher rate. In my experience, Unread displayed new articles in the morning after I woke up, and refreshed every 15–30 minutes during the day. Like Tweetbot 3, background refresh is a fantastic addition: it’s great to be able to wake up to new items already downloaded and ready to be viewed, and it’s the kind of feature that saves a few seconds on each session that add up over time.
Instead of adopting Apple’s default pull-to-refresh mechanism, Sinclair built a custom indicator that is best explained with an animated GIF. I love it.
The same pull-to-refresh technique is used in a pull-to-action context for the action menu, another of my favorite touches in Unread.
Anywhere in the app, the menu can be activated by pulling from right to left on the screen; depending on the screen you’re currently viewing, the menu will yield different options.
In the main Articles/Streams screens, pull to action brings up a menu with options to sign out, change the theme, refresh, and go back to the browser (more on this in a bit). The menu pops up from the right with a fast animation and can be dismissed by tapping on the “x” button (or inactive areas). If you’re viewing a list of articles, the same menu will give you options to change grouping (by feed or date) or mark as read. Inside an article, you’ll get options to mark as unread, star, view on web, and share.
There’s an argument to be made about discoverability of gestures: they need to be learned and they’re hidden from view unless you know where and how to swipe. The problem is mitigated by a welcome tutorial that Sinclair created to instruct users on how to work with gestures in Unread, and I believe that the app’s target audience will easily adjust to a buttonless, gesture-driven interface.
When taken all together, the fast transitions, large touch targets, and action menu make for a solid one-handed experience that doesn’t require me to stretch my thumb across the screen to perform actions or navigate. When I want to share or star an article, for instance, I can swipe in the middle of the screen to quickly reveal the action menu, then tap on the share/star cell – not the icon itself all the way to the right – to activate that specific action. It’s a small detail, but it makes the app faster and easier to use. Unread is a pleasure to operate because it’s fast, accessible, and clear.
The action menu can also be activated by tapping & holding an article in the list; in this way, you’ll be able to mark items above or below the selected article as read, which is a nice shortcut. Alas, Unread’s full-screen reading mode (which can be turned off in the Settings), doesn’t allow you to automatically jump to the next article as you reach the bottom of the current one. I liked this feature in Reeder.
Sinclair is the co-creator of Overshare, a third-party sharing menu that can be used by other developers in their apps. It’s no surprise that Unread ships with a good selection of built-in services and apps that can receive text and URLs from your RSS accounts. Unread currently supports:
- 1Password (browser and search)
The app also has other system integrations:
- Safari Reading List
- Copy Quote
- Copy URL
Unread has a good collection of sharing services and it’s better than most news apps for iOS 7. Notably, it integrates with Drafts, which can act as a hub to send text to any other app. However, there’s no native support for Evernote; you can’t turn articles into todos with Reminders, and, though Unread’s menu looks nice, it’s not as advanced as Dispatch in terms of built-in functionality.
Support for Drafts makes for a handy stopgap solution until more native sharing services and apps are added, and I only have minor quibbles about the sharing menu. I’m not a fan of how articles are sent to Drafts, and I also don’t like that you can’t control how articles are saved to Pinboard and how Unread automatically adds an “Unread” tag to them. Having a flexible sharing menu without overwhelming the user is tricky, and Sinclair is on the right path.
One of Unread’s peculiarities is the browser view, which acts separately from the feed view and that is restored every time the app is launched. Articles can be opened in the browser by tapping on their title, but a “View on Web” option is also available in the action menu; you can go back to the browser at any time by tapping “Back to Browser” in the same menu. The browser retains history navigation (so you can navigate back and forth between articles you’ve decided to view on the web), and it comes with its own sharing menu and optimized reading view.
The browser is great for multitasking within the app. Unread’s browser doesn’t prevent you from going back to reading articles in the regular view: you can tap an article, open it in the browser, leave it there, and return to reading other feeds. Whenever you want to read that link you opened in the browser, you can swipe and you’re in the browser again. The browser has drag indicators at the bottom to suggest that you can swipe over the toolbar to switch views and trigger sharing, and, overall, it’s well done and useful.
Details, Settings, And More Minor Complaints
I love analyzing an app’s smaller details and understanding why they’re there. Unread is no exception.
- Unread supports footnotes powered by bigfoot with Feed Wrangler. Two of the sites I’m subscribed to that use them, Marco.org and And Now It’s All This, render bigfoot popovers nicely in Unread.
- A nice touch that I like is that, when sharing an article, its title is displayed for additional context above the various sharing options; however, if you select text in the article, that selection will be shown at the top of the sharing menu.
- For sites that have linked articles such as Daring Fireball and MacStories, Unread will show the destination domain right within the article list and reading view.
- The app has a custom Twitter sharing view that lets you pick accounts and shorten links with Bitly.
- You can long-tap links when reading an article or inside the browser to bring up the sharing menu.
- In the Settings, you can tweak various preferences such as max sync count, image caching, feed order, and full-screen reading. Disabling the latter will show a gray status bar. Unread doesn’t use iOS 7’s unified status/title bar, and I think the decision fits well with the app and iOS 7. Eschewing the unified title bar allows Unread to display multi-line titles, which look good in full-screen mode. Even if the status bar is not shown, you can tap at the top of an article in full-screen to scroll up.
- In the Settings, you can choose to use Unread Counts as buttons: doing so will let you tap on a count to view only unread items (by default, the app shows all items for Smart Streams/categories/tags). A secondary settings determines what the app does for folder rows (tags and categories; Smart Streams don’t support this) – if it should open feeds or articles. Personally, I keep this setting turned off.
- As you scroll the article list, a translucent date indicator quickly appears at the top of the screen to show which day you’ve reached.
I have a few additional minor complaints about Unread. Alongside the obvious lack of an iPad app at this point, I couldn’t find a way to add/remove subscriptions from the app or create and manage Smart Streams without switching to the Feed Wrangler website. There is no search, and I would like to see a shortcut to “View This Feed” to open all articles from a specific source without navigating back to the main screen.
In my experience, I found these to be unimportant shortcomings that don’t compromise the way I use Unread on a daily basis. An iPad version would be welcome, but I’m not sure if it could convince me to move away from Mr. Reader.
The New Reader
I approached Unread thinking that it was an app designed for people who subscribe to a handful of feeds and just want to read a few articles every day. What I found is an app that works exceptionally well with hundreds of feeds, that has great custom typography and interface choices that don’t look out of place on iOS 7, and that tastefully implements modern gestures, sharing controls, and iOS technologies.
For me, Unread provides a better reading, syncing, and sharing experience than Reeder. While it lacks some of the features that Reeder gained over the years, Unread’s debut shows an app with focus, flexibility, attention to iOS 7, and the capability of scaling from dozens of unread items to several hundreds articles. Some people will complain about the lack of a compact mode to disable article previews in the main list; combined with thumbnails, I realized that this feature helps me pay more attention to articles in my RSS feeds.

At The Mad Hatter, our goal is that all of our customers are safe and comfortable. This is why we make it our business to bring expert comprehensive chimney care year-round. When you have a chimney problem, your safety and your life could depend on it. We often get calls from homeowners thinking they only have cosmetic issues with their chimney, but it can actually be serious problems.
Causes of a Stinky Chimney
The negative air pressure in the home due to the tightness of your home, weatherized windows and doors, a new roof, keeping kitchen or bathroom exhaust fans turned on, can cause a stinky chimney. Anything that draw air out of the house can create negative air pressure that needs to be corrected. The empty space then pulls air from the chimney. As the air flows down the chimney and through the fireplace, it brings nasty odors with it.
Types of Chimney Odors
Smoky/Barbecue – Your chimney is dirty. It needs to be cleaned of all the remnants of winter fires. Until the soot and creosote is cleaned out of the chimney system, it will continue to cause odors, especially as humidity mingles with these materials. Schedule a chimney sweep with our professionals right now.
Mold/Mildew – Your chimney is leaking. Whether it’s an old leak or a new one, you need to have it checked out. A leaky chimney can cause damage to your chimney from the inside out. If the odor is musty, mildewy, or moldy, it’s likely that your chimney has been leaking for awhile. Our certified chimney sweep can spot a leak or hazard during a routine chimney inspection. Don’t hesitate to schedule yours today.
Decomposition – The worst odor from a fireplace is decomposition. It does not always mean an animal was in your chimney and died. It can also mean organic material is decomposing in there such as leaves, sticks, fur, and more. As it decomposes, gases are released, creating odors that are very undesirable. A simple chimney sweep will clear away these materials and stop the odors.
Call us Right Now
Foul odors can ruin anyone’s home, and they usually indicate other problems such as a leak or a buildup. Avoid these problems including leaks and terrible odors by scheduling your routine sweeps and inspections.

hm, I'll check the logs, but I can reproduce this 100% on an idle test cluster just by running a simple test client that generates a smallish workload where just 2 processes on a single host hammer the Cassandra cluster with LWTs.
Maybe LWTs are not meant to be used this way?
BTW, since you said you want it to be fast, I think it's worth mentioning that LWT comes with additional cost and is much slower than a straight forward INSERT/UPDATE.
Sure, but we have to swallow that pill as we need linearizability.
You should avoid using it if possible. For example, if all of the Cassandra clients (samba servers) are running on the same machine, it may be far more efficient to use a lock than LWT.
no, the goal is designing a huge scaleout SMB cluster spanning hundreds of nodes, used as multitennant cloud SMB frontend much like Microsoft Azure SMB.

When it comes to interior design, the use of 3D room decor has completely revolutionized the industry. With its realistic and immersive effects, 3D room decor has made a significant impact on how people view and design their living spaces.
The Evolution of Room Decor:
In the past, room decor mainly focused on two-dimensional elements such as paintings, wallpapers, and fabrics. While these elements added visual interest to a space, they were limited in terms of creating depth and dimension. However, with advances in technology and the introduction of 3D printing, designers are now able to bring their creative visions to life in a whole new way.
By incorporating 3D room decor into their designs, interior designers can now create a more immersive and realistic environment for their clients. This technology allows them to add texture, depth, and intricate details that were previously difficult to achieve.
One of the greatest advantages of 3D room decor is its ability to transform a space and make it truly unique. Whether it’s a statement wall, a customized furniture piece, or decorative accents, 3D room decor has the power to elevate the overall aesthetic of any room.
Benefits of 3D Room Decor:
There are numerous benefits to incorporating 3D room decor into your interior design:
- Realism: 3D room decor provides a level of realism that cannot be achieved with traditional two-dimensional decor. The textures, shadows, and intricate details of 3D objects bring a sense of authenticity and depth to a space.

When selecting 3D room decor for your space, it’s important to consider the overall style and theme of your room. Whether you prefer a modern, minimalist look or a more eclectic vibe, there are countless options available.
Additionally, consider the size and scale of the decor pieces you choose. While larger statement pieces can make a bold impact, smaller accents can add a touch of elegance and sophistication.

Real Madrid’s winning run ended on Wednesday night, with a 1-1 draw at Elche halting their series of victories at six. This December has been a bittersweet way for Real Madrid to end 2020, as they recovered their form only to then drop two points at a newly promoted side. As the year draws to a close, there are many questions to contemplate and several of them are discussed here.
1. Would Modrić be fit enough to start?
Having suffered a knock, Luka Modrić was a slight doubt coming into this game. He’d recovered enough to make the squad, but it wasn’t clear if he was going to be able to start or if Zidane would go for Fede Valverde or someone else. In the end, Modrić was fit enough to start and he even looked like one of the freshest players on the pitch. His headed goal – his first ever headed goal with Real Madrid – was made possible because of an incredible burst of acceleration to get there before the Elche defenders. The veteran was even seen sprinting back - but properly sprinting back - on occasion to help out in defence. Once again, Modrić looked so good.
2. Would the struggles with Marcelo continue?
There’s no doubt any more that Ferland Mendy is a better option at left-back than Marcelo, but the real concern with the Brazilian being selected to start this game was that he tends to be associated with poor results. It’s not always Marcelo’s fault, but he’s the common link as he has started in four of Real Madrid’s five defeats of 2020/21, while he was missing throughout the entire six-in-a-row winning run they’d embarked on this December. The only player in the whole squad with a worse points-per-game record than Marcelo’s 1.0 for this season is Mariano, with 0.8 per appearance. So, what would happen this time? Well, it was another case of dropped points with Marcelo involved. It wasn’t necessarily his fault, but it happened again with him on the pitch.
3. Would we finally see Hazard?
Eden Hazard suffered his most recent injury on November 28th against Alavés, but he has had the medical all-clear since December 16th. Zidane, though, has been so hesitant to rush the Belgian back that Hazard hadn’t played a minute in the three games Los Blancos played since December 16th. So, coming into this game we were surely going to see him make his comeback. Right? Well yes, he did play. Although it was only for the final 13 minutes. Zidane only partly peeled off the cotton wool that he has been wrapping Hazard in. Maybe it’ll fully come off on Saturday against Celta Vigo.
1. Why did it take so long for Zidane to make any substitutions?
Hazard’s introduction on the 77th minute was the first of the evening for Real Madrid, coming on at the same time as Fede Valverde. Considering how much Elche improved after scoring their equaliser, it’s strange that no changes were made earlier. This has been a common theme in recent weeks and Zidane was asked about this in his post-match press conference. “When it comes to making substitutions, you must be very clear on what you want from them,” the coach explained. “We weren’t playing poorly, so that’s why I waited until later,” he added.
2. To talk about referees? Or, to not talk about referees?
I don’t think Casemiro and Thibaut Courtois got the same memo ahead of their post-match interviews. Literally minutes apart, Casemiro said “We don’t talk about VAR or referees” and Courtois, referring to the foul called on Dani Carvajal, said “There are some referees who like to call that kind of penalty” and “You can’t not give the one against Benzema and then give this one”. Whether the refereeing incidents in this match were correct or not - and I largely believe the decisions were all the right ones - it’s not a good look to have one leader of the dressing room calling for the players to stand above such controversy and to have another airing frustration by breaking down specific details live on TV.
3. Who’ll have played more minutes by the end of the season? Kubo or Ødegaard?
There is so much talk of how harsh Unai Emery is being with Takefusa Kubo, but Zidane is being just as stingy when it comes to giving minutes to Martin Ødegaard. Both players currently find themselves at a club that is maybe a little too big for this current stage in their development, where there are simply too many good players blocking their path to the pitch. With the January transfer window approaching, there is loan talk about both of these players. I don’t think Ødegaard is going anywhere, while there’s a slim chance that Kubo could switch teams. In any case, it’s interesting to wonder who’ll finish the season with more minutes. Kubo currently has 687 minutes to his name at Villarreal, while Ødegaard has 362 at Real Madrid, partly because he’s had injuries. What do you think? Who’ll finish the 2020/21 campaign with more minutes? | <urn:uuid:a978ff0a-7f5d-4c55-99a3-0fa6549ff436> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.managingmadrid.com/2020/12/31/22207317/three-answers-three-questions-real-madrid-draw-elche | 2023-10-03T14:16:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.982282 | 1,194 |

Virginia is a beautiful state with a rich history and breathtaking natural beauty.
It offers many fantastic choices for a memorable driving vacation or road trip. Here are six destinations to enjoy a lovely road trip with friends and family.
Places To Hit on Your Next Virginia Road Trip
Assateague Island is a barrier island in the Chesapeake Bay that lies between the Atlantic Ocean and Delaware Bay.
Drive about the island in your car and see various wildlife, including wild ponies, deer, and birds. Birdwatchers flock to the island to observe migrating species such as Sandhill cranes and Wilson’s snipe.
Ocean temperatures mean the best time of year for swimming here is the end of June to early Sep, when the air temperature is also warm.
Throw a tent in the back of the car as there’s plenty of camping available, and you can pull up to camp at the beach. Hiking, biking, and horseback riding are among the great things to do here, as well as fishing, crabbing, and watersports.
Virginia Beach is where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean, and is a great place to stop for a coastal city vibe. It has all the great perks of a city; great food, rich history, and a huge range of arts and entertainment, while also being on the beach.
The pace slows down here, and there are multiple beaches to explore across 7 unique districts. Head to Sandbridge, south of the Boardwalk for sand dunes and dancing sea oats, and to Pungo to break up the citylife for a rural country experience.
Oceanfront is where you have all your hotels along the ocean, and where your live music, street performers and outdoor cafes are all lined up, and the Town Center is where you’ve got high-end shopping, dining, and entertainment.
The Blue Ridge Parkway
The Blue Ridge Parkway is a 469-mile road that runs through the Appalachian Mountains. It is one of the most visited National Park Service units, featuring stunning vistas and adventure opportunities.
Millions of people take this drive every year because the scenery is truly stunning; it runs along the Appalachian Mountains, and there are plenty of stops for accessing hiking routes and wildlife observation.
If hiking isn’t your style, the park also provides horseback riding tours of the surrounding area.
Shenandoah National Park & Skyline Drive
Shenandoah National Park is only 75 miles out of Washington, D.C., and once there you have access to 200,000 acres which include waterfalls, spectacular vistas, fields of wildflowers, and quiet wooded hollows.
Hiking is the most common reason people drive in, with over 500 miles of trails, you can slot in time for both quick walks to stretch your legs, or extended backcountry camping trips.
Skyline Drive is here, which follows the ridge of the Blue Ridge Mountains for 105 miles north and south. Highly recommend you subscribe to Shenandoah’s alert system as the roads often close based on weather.
Virginia Wine Trails
Virginia has several wine trails, including six American Viticultural Areas and nearly 300 wineries.
You will find wine trails from the Eastern Shore to the western mountains, close to charming villages, historic structures and attractions, and there are often wine and food festivals you can include.
There are Artisanal Wineries of Rappahannock, only an hour from DC, and six wineries along the Bedford Wine Trail through the Blue Ridge Mountains and Smith Mountain Lake. The Blue Ridge Whisky Wine Loop includes distilleries as well, and the Heart of Virginia Wine Trail is a great choice if you’re around Richmond.
The biggest consideration, beyond choosing where you’ll stop, is choosing who will be your designated driver! Make sure you don’t drink and drive.
If you’re looking for a place to enjoy a road trip adventure with your car, Virginia is a perfect choice. It offers some of the best locations and scenery in the country, and there’s also plenty of history and culture for you to discover.
If you are visiting from another state, you can use car shipping services to have your car delivered immediately to your hotel. | <urn:uuid:7c2c7aa5-20f6-4eaa-920e-ed66ecd6f6be> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.mappingmegan.com/virginia-road-trip/ | 2023-10-03T13:57:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.945856 | 888 |
CINCINNATI - March First Brewing and Cincinnati’s May Festival have teamed up to create a
special edition peach apricot cider to celebrate the May Festival series of concerts running from May 17 - May 25. The May Festival celebrates the most intimate and personal of
instruments—the human voice. They tell stories of our shared humanity through the enveloping sound of a hundred voices and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Join them for the 2019 May Festival season at Music Hall, which explores the Great Beyond.
“When The May Festival approached us to see if we were interested in collaborating with them on an official cider for their concert series we were honored” March First Brewing representative Josh Engel said. “To say that we are excited to work with some super talented people is simply an understatement. We think our peach apricot cider will compliment the sounds and ideas that The May Festival brings very nicely. We’re eager for everyone to try it!”
The May Festival and Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra join Aglamesis Bro’s Ice Cream,
Holtman’s Donuts, and Air Heads candy who have all collaborated on ciders with March First
Brewing. You will be able to purchase the special May Festival Cider at Music Hall for the concerts, at the March First Brewing taproom on East Kemper Rd. in Sycamore Township and in select retailers around the city. You can find more information about The May Festival concerts, dates, and times on their official website:http://mayfestival.com | <urn:uuid:a58eddc7-0286-49d9-856b-d56e836382ad> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.marchfirstbrands.com/post/march-first-brewing-releases-a-special-edition-cider-for-the-may-festival-at-cincinnati-music-hall | 2023-10-03T13:34:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.959897 | 320 |
Marcum LLP Launches Quarterly CEO Survey
Middle-Market CEOs Optimistic; Talent Acquisition Is Key Priority
New York City, NY – Marcum LLP, a national accounting and advisory services firm, today unveiled a new quarterly survey of middle-market company chief executives, in collaboration with the Chief Executive Group, publisher of the CEO Confidence Index. The new Marcum survey gauges CEOs’ outlook on the current business environment and their priorities for the next 12 months.
The first quarterly Marcum CEO Survey found that chief executives are strongly optimistic, with 99% of CEOs rating their business outlook between 5 (positive) and 10 (very positive), and 8% selecting the top rating. The weighted average rating on a scale of 1-10 among all CEOs participating in the Marcum survey was 7.77 for Quarter 1, 2018. This compares to the CEO Confidence Index finding of 7.09 in the fourth quarter of 2017 and 6.49 one year ago (Quarter 1, 2017).
Over the next 12 months, CEOs in 11 of 16 categories – the greatest concentration of industries – plan to invest in technology. However, talent recruitment was the No. 1 priority among CEOs, with 36% saying their biggest investment will be in human capital. Technology was a distant second with 15%, and workforce training was third with 12%.
Paralleling these findings, the single most important influence for business planning over the next 12 months is availability of talent (31%). The urgent need for access to talent is industry-agnostic, with CEOs in 14 of 16 categories saying this is the most important influence on their companies’ near-term future. Other key influences appear to be industry-specific and are similarly divided among technology (11.16%), access to capital (11.16%), labor (10.33%), and regulatory environment (9.92%).
Ninety percent of CEOs said product or service diversification is a central issue, with answers ranging from 5 (important) to 10 (very important). Most CEOs placed diversification as an 8 (21.9%) or 7 (19.8%) on a 1-10 scale. Less than 10% of CEOs (9.7%) said diversification is not important to their future.
“Clearly, human capital is the overriding concern of CEOs in virtually all industries, ahead of even technology as a driving force in how companies are preparing for the future. Our findings in the inaugural Marcum CEO Survey are a barometer of market conditions, and it comes as no surprise that this population of entrepreneurial CEOs is remarkably optimistic about the current and near-future business environment. It’s the nature of entrepreneurs to confront and overcome challenges. It will be very interesting to see how things might change over time as prevailing business conditions respond to economic shifts, political winds, and world events,” said Jeffrey M. Weiner, Marcum’s chairman and chief executive officer.
A total of 242 CEOs completed the debut Marcum CEO Survey for the first quarter of 2018. 228 participating companies (94.2%) had revenues of up to $1 billion in 2017; 14 companies (5.8%) had revenues in excess of $1 billion.
Participating industries included:
- Financial Services (Banking, Insurance, Brokerage, Investment)
- Government and Non-Profit
- Health Care (Providers and Payers)
- High Tech/Telecommunications/Information Technology
- Manufacturing (consumer goods)
- Manufacturing (industrial goods)
- Pharmaceuticals & Medical Products
- Professional Services (Legal, Consulting, Accounting, Architecture)
- Real Estate
- Retail Trade
- Transportation (Airlines, Trucking, Rail , Shipping, Logistics)
- Travel and Leisure (Hotels)
- Wholesale Distribution

Marketplace is community-funded public service journalism. Give in any amount that works for you – what matters is that you give today.
Steve Chiotakis: Earlier this week, wheat prices rose on news of a heat wave and drought wiping out crops in Russia. It’s one of the world’s biggest breadbaskets, and now Moscow’s imposed a ban on wheat exports, sending prices, well even higher. What does that mean for the price of food around the world? From London, Christopher Werth reports.
Christopher Werth: The price of wheat surged another 8 percent after the ban was announced, and that’s raising fears that other grain-growing countries, like China and India, might begin hoarding their own supplies. That’s what happened in 2008, and that sparked a global food crisis, complete with riots from Egypt to Haiti.
But Martin Deboo of Investec says this year, global stockpiles are about 50 percent higher than they were a couple of years ago. Plus, farmers in the U.S. are growing a lot more wheat than was expected.
Martin Deboo: Traditionally, the U.S. has tended to be the sort of exporter of last resort, and I’m sure will take up some of the slack that’s left by Russia. I think this is good news for American wheat farmers . . . they’ll be selling a lot of volume, and they’ll be selling it at good prices.
And it’s not just wheat growers that stand to benefit. Farmers don’t like to feed their cows expensive food, so instead of buying wheat, they’ll find cheaper alternatives. Witness economics in action: all that demand has driven up the price of soybeans and corn.
In London, I’m Christopher Werth for Marketplace.

Iceberg and leaf lettuce crops in California’s Salinas Valley are experiencing some challenges related to disrupted planting schedules back in March caused by heavy rains/flooding as well as cool, humid conditions over the past two weeks.
Since the Salinas season started, the industry has seen peaks and valleys of supply and optimal plant maturity based on when and how growers were able to plant their crops in between the many heavy rain events of the winter/early spring. This is expected to be the last significant supply gap related to the heavy rains in March.
Markon First Crop (MFC) Iceberg and some MFC Green Leaf and Romaine packs are limited; Markon Best Available (MBA) is being substituted as needed. Case weights for 24-count liner lettuce have been dropping into the upper 30- to mid-40 pound range and may remain low through next week or longer. Some varieties of green lead and romaine have been vulnerable to internal burn/fog burn issues caused by high humidity and excess moisture that occurs when the morning marine layer recedes and temperatures warm up in the afternoons. Increased insect pressure has also been observed in some lots.
Marko n inspectors are working with our suppliers to secure the best lots for commodity and value-added packs and will continue to update as needed.
Please contact your Markon customer service representative for more information.

3) Biggest surprise of the season so far, good or bad?
Andy: I guess it’s really a combination of Carlisle’s generally terrific coaching in partnership with his completely insane treatment of the PG position in the final minutes. Although it’d still be a bad idea, Carlisle playing anything he can find, including inanimate objects, instead of Darren Collison in the waning minutes is one thing but choosing, say, Mike James to end a game in which Collison played 31 regulation minutes to James’ 17 seems beyond belief for reasons that have nothing to do with Mike James. I mean, aren’t you playing your best PG the most minutes? WTH, Rick?
Alan: I guess I'll go with O.J. Mayo, for lack of a great answer to this question. I'm hesitant to say he's been THAT much better than I expected...because there's enough of the season left that his streakiness could take his final stat-line in a few different directions. Maybe the surprise is that I'm even starting to consider the possibility he might be around longer? Which, I'll be honest: I didn't at all before.
Tim: I could always tackle the Carlisle/point guard issue, but another surprise (if a tad mild) is that Dirk took so long to recover. It's not that he took longer than usual, but we've known for years that Dirk isn't mortal. To see him struggle, first with the decision of surgery, next with the frustration of rehabbing the knee, and now with the process of him getting back into superstar-shape, really showed a side of Nowitzki that we never had seen. It makes him a little more human, and I appreciate him just a little bit more.
Kirk: Carlisle's inability to determine who he wants to play point guard. While it finally feels like he's sticking with Collison, most Mav observers have been rightly critical of Carlisle hurting Collison's confidence when things got rough in late November. Dallas has now tried five point guards this season (Collison, Jones, Beaubois, Fisher, James) and the right answer was there from the start. Collison needed something, whether it was time or coaching, to get his mind right so he could start finishing in the pain and making the right pass. Things are back on track now, but I wonder if getting frustrated with Collison early cost the Mavericks wins.
4) Favorite moment of the season so far?
Andy: Uhhhhh, when Dirk came back. He’s not all the way back and the game he came back the Mavs were absolutely slaughtered. BUT, when they announced that he was in the layup line, my heart flew out of my mouth and sang bluebird songs.
Alan: Dirk back. And yeah, it does say something that my favorite moment happened in a blowout loss to the hated Spurs.
Tim: Without a doubt, Dirk's return. Let me set it up for you, though. I was home for winter break, and actually made the drive down to San Antonio to catch this one. Our lovely leader Lisa (alliteration alert!) also made the drive, and I was able to met her for the first time in person. There we were, sitting in the press area with 30 minutes until the game tipped off and whatd'yaknow, the stunning announcement comes down that Dirk is suited up and ready to play. What!? Total shock. The moments following, where the Mavs got roasted alive and devoured by the Spurs, was not as enjoyable. But Dirk's return was just perfect.
Kirk: The Mayo-Harden duel in early December. Two young players going back and forth in a high scoring exciting game was a delight to watch. That Mayo came out on top and had a more complete game than Harden was an added bonus. | <urn:uuid:f5068d2e-aea1-4b95-840a-2b0605e46e18> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.mavsmoneyball.com/2013/1/22/3902584/mmb-mid-season-roundtable-part-2-4-biggest-surprise-and-favorite | 2023-10-03T14:07:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.977444 | 810 |

Every one of my clients enters my office in a state of confusion, anxiety, and financial distress. Although typically their number one goal is to alleviate those conditions, they quickly realize that they have to live life after filing a bankruptcy proceeding and are concerned about the conditions under which they must do so. A legitimate concern for most people is what life after bankruptcy looks like, and just how far their credit score will drop once they file.
Imagine a client’s surprise and delight when I tell them that in most cases your credit score will rise within a year of completion of your bankruptcy filing. Although that seems counterintuitive and runs in direct contrast to what most people hear on the street, years of experience and thousands of cases filed, have shown me otherwise. How can this be? What magic do I possess to make this happen?
First of all, it is important to note that when people are pushed to the point of bankruptcy they usually have been trying, and struggling, for years to pay their bills. Bad things happen to good people seems to be a tired expression, but I have found it to be very true. Job loss, health care costs, unexpected expenses, and school tuitions all have contributed to kind, hardworking people having to file bankruptcy. Scores are usually very low by the time a client gets to my office, and there is nowhere to go but up.
Secondary to that, the term “debt to income ratio” is one that most people recognize. Think about it and use your hands to illustrate my point. Your debt is overwhelming. You are just about drowning in it. Put one hand up around your forehead where the river of bills is about to put you under to represent your debt. Your income is steady. Put the other hand right around your midsection to represent your income. Now consider your debt being erased by a bankruptcy filing. For each debt that will be erased, lower the hand near your forehead a few inches. Eventually, your debt will be below your income, thereby flipping the script on your debt to income ratio. Creditors moving forward will analyze your new debt to income ratio, and future credit will be available. Your scores will improve, and life will be better. | <urn:uuid:4e07d9f1-22d1-4016-9cbf-0805d5d5fbc2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.mdbankruptcylawyer.com/bankruptcy-myth-dispelled-filing-can-actually-improve-your-credit-score/ | 2023-10-03T13:30:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.969718 | 451 |

The challenge, announced earlier this year, was run by the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network (ACCAN) and the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC), and sponsored by Telstra.
Prizes for the winners included the Telstra Prize of $1500 in cash, promotion through Telstra’s social media and a one-off opportunity to participate in a mini-incubator experience with Telstra’s own in-house app developers and technology specialists.
PointFinder, developed by the Perth-based picoSpace, allows users to save a ‘point of interest’ such as the letterbox, bus stop or office. The app’s inbuilt compass or Google Maps can then be used to provide directions.
Studies have shown that using captions can enhance the learning experience for all students, with particular benefit to students who speak English as a second language or with learning difficulties, not to mention the Deaf or hearing impaired students for whom captions are absolutely essential.
Media Access Australia found and tested three educational apps that include captions for all students.
Cost: Free, $1.99 per month, $6.99 per month (unlimited access)
To echo what many other critics have expressed, Maps shows some inaccuracy in the mapping content that it provides. The level of detail that the app provides is minimal at this stage and as many have reported, some landmarks are misrepresented. | <urn:uuid:54977f52-0cad-45a5-adb3-9f6602314992> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.mediaaccess.org.au/category/digital-media-and-technology/app-reviews?page=2 | 2023-10-03T13:32:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.946251 | 303 |
Somaliland is a self-declared state but largely regarded to be an autonomous region of Somalia. Located on the southern coast of the Gulf of Aden. It is bordered by the rest of Somalia to the east, Djibouti to the northwest, and Ethiopia to the south and west. The country was ruled by dictator Mohammad Barre for over twenty years until the outbreak of the Somali Civil War in the late 1980’s. The war caused the death of tens of thousands of Somalilanders, many were killed by the Siad Barre regime due to their tribal affiliations. the region suffered extensive damage to its economy and infrastructure during the Somali civil war and is still recovering today: it’s not uncommon to see burnt out tanks and vehicles on the sides of the road and buildings damaged by bullets and artillery. The republic is a member of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization, an advocacy group whose members consist of indigenous peoples, minorities and unrecognised or occupied territories.
The republic is rich in sights and locations, from stunning African beaches to camel markets and the fascinating scenes of the local money changers with their twenty foot high stacks of cash are a sight to behold. The country is a safer way to see Somalia and use as a location for a war torn, African country.
Security situation in Somaliland:
Whilst Somaliland is considerably safer compared to Somalia itself, this is a poverty stricken country with an 80% unemployment rate so there is a low level of crime, petty theft and a lack of basic services. Somaliland and Puntland territorial claims overlap and the border region between them is a conflict zone and is not safe for travel. As always, knowing a little of the local language or having an interpreter can go a long way when requesting information should you wish to learn about the surrounding area. As an extra precaution when travelling outside of the major cities, the local government requires that foreign travellers be accompanied by an armed SPU guard (Special Protection Unit).
Access for filmmakers and journalists in Somaliland:
Getting into Somaliland requires a visa which is thankfully not difficult to get, the Somaliland embassy in London can issue a visa. The whole process is thankfully non-bureaucratic and can be done via post, which makes London the most convenient place to get a visa for travellers who live in Europe or want to obtain a visa before travelling to the region. Pioneer Media have been operating in the region for the past four years and through our mixture of on the ground contacts we can guarantee entry permits, journalist and film permits as well as access to local fixers. We will deal with all the bureaucracy and entrance applications on the ground. Similarly, we can arrange film logistics within the country at ease. Staff and translators can be found for very affordable rates. | <urn:uuid:dfcf502b-946f-4eac-bd56-0387eab84aa2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.mediapioneers.net/the-republic-of-somaliland-security-profiles/ | 2023-10-03T13:24:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.947391 | 575 |

According to a private report, rental prices in the AMBA increased 15.6% in the case of houses and 26.4% in the case of apartments in August
02/09/2023 – 19,53hs
Rental prices in the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area (AMBA) increased 15.6% in the case of houses and 26.4% in the case of apartments in August, according to a private report. In addition, in the City of Buenos Aires there was a year-on-year drop of 23.8% in supply.
A two-room apartment with 50 square meters has an average monthly rent of $198,000, while a three-room unit with 70 m2 rents for $260,000 per month, according to the study by the University of San Andrés and Mercado Libre.
In the northern area of Greater Buenos Aires (GBA), meanwhile, prices move in a similar way, with slight reductions in the western and southern areas of the suburbs.
A large percentage of the offers for renting houses and apartments are expressed in dollars.
“This is relevant because in August we experienced a notable rise in the value of the blue dollar, which means that the equivalent in pesos of these publications increased significantly from one month to the next,” said Paula Margaretic, a researcher at the University of San Andrew.
According to the analysis, the price per m2 of the monthly rental of apartments in CABA is $6,478; in the northern GBA it is $5,602, and the lowest is recorded in the western GBA with $2,375 per m2.
What will happen to the Rental Law?
As for what could happen with the rents and the law that has been in place since 2020, which is currently under review in the Senate (after the approval of Deputies to reform two controversial articles, such as going back to two years instead of three and allowing free adjustments between the parties under different indices), Margaretic explained that “in case corrections are made, We estimate that at least the supply of rental housing would begin to grow rapidly.”
A large percentage of rental offers for houses and apartments are expressed in dollars
The report also addressed the values of home sales in the AMBA. In CABA, average prices decreased by 1.1% in August compared to July 2023, while in the case of houses there was a slight increase in CABA and a moderate decrease in the north, south and west areas of the GBA. .
Apartment prices MoM decreased 0.3% overall; a moderate rise was registered in CABA, of 0.6% and 1.2% in northern GBA.
In addition, there was a slight decrease in the rest of the areas: 0.4% in West GBA and 1% in South GBA. Both for purchase and for rent, The neighborhood most requested by the demand is Caballito in CABA.
In addition, a coincidence is also observed in the south and west GBA, where La Plata and Ramos Mejía stand out as the most privileged places for those looking for a home. | <urn:uuid:6ac804f6-a29d-44be-80c8-0a345a49a6cd> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.memesita.com/rents-in-august-doubled-inflation/ | 2023-10-03T14:11:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.970181 | 658 |

As brighter and whiter teeth become one of the most commonly requested forms of cosmetic dentistry today, many consumers are asking, “What is a bleach kit for teeth whitening?” The push to have a more picture-perfect smile is strong among individuals of almost every age, but with more options than ever on how to achieve it, choosing the right method of teeth whitening can be confusing to say the very least.
There are two primary categories when it comes to at-home teeth whitening kits:
- Over the Counter Brand Kits
- Professional At-Home Kits from the Dentist
Over the counter kits can be found at most local grocery or drug stores and claim to be able to whiten a person’s teeth over time with repeated use. The success of this method can depend heavily on:
- How clean a person’s teeth are before they begin whitening
- Whitening medium (topical solution, strips, trays, etc.)
- The strength of the whitening solution being used
- Proper usage of the kit, including application
- Duration and frequency of use
A professional at-home kit from the dentist, otherwise known as a dentist-approved bleach kit for teeth whitening, is quickly becoming the more preferred option for some for the simple fact that it can still be customized to yield maximum benefits for the user.
What Is a Bleach Kit for Teeth Whitening and How Does It Work?
A bleach kit for teeth whitening may be obtained from your regular dentist. Users should take note that the professional version from the dentist comes with a few critical distinctions from those that are over the counter, including:
- They typically have an increased concentration of whitening solutions.
- They are available in trays that can be custom fit for an individual’s teeth, which helps the solution adhere to the teeth more effectively and limits exposure to the gums.
- They frequently yield noticeable and preferred results within a shorter time span than over the counter options.
So how do they work? It all begins with customization because no two mouths are exactly the same. Ensuring that a whitening tray closely fits the mold of a patient’s teeth can be one of the primary keys to success. It allows the solution to be exposed to each tooth’s surface in a targeted way without needlessly irritating the gums with a bad fit.
To create a tray that matches a patient’s teeth, a dentist may either do an impression of the teeth via dental putty or by digitally scanning them. Either way is acceptable. From this information, experts in the dental office or at a specialty lab will begin creating a customized tray.
Once the trays are ready, the dentist will likely clean the surface of the teeth to enable the whitening solution to be more effective when applied. Then the dentist will make a note of the current shade of the patient’s teeth so that they can better monitor their progress after a couple of weeks of whitening is completed.
Next, the dentist will show the patient how to put the trays in for the best fit as well as how to put the whitening solution in the tray. For the bleach kit for teeth whitening to be effective, it is critical that the patient pay close attention to these steps, especially when it comes to how much whitening solution should be dispensed in the tray before each application.
Most dentists recommend a specific amount of time for application, depending on how much lighter a patient desires their teeth to be.
While the bleach kit for teeth whitening from the dentist should yield visible results for the majority of patients, it does require additional care on the part of the patient for optimum results. For example, activities that can contribute to the staining or discoloration of teeth such as eating or drinking certain foods or smoking should be avoided. Failure to abstain from drinks, foods, or tobacco which can stain the teeth may keep the treatment from yielding the preferred results.
At the end of the recommended timeline for whitening, the dentist may ask the patient to return to the office to evaluate progress that has been made. At that point, they will gauge the current shade of the person’s teeth and compare it to the shade of their teeth before treatment began.
The results of bleach kits for teeth whitening can vary from patient to patient. The outcome can depend on the person’s ability to follow the directions for preparation and usage correctly. Should their teeth appear to be discolored from something other than staining that is related to eating and drinking, teeth whitening may be more difficult to achieve.
Benefits of Getting a Bleach Kit for Teeth Whitening from Your Houston Dentist
Although the whitening of a person’s teeth is an obvious benefit of getting a bleach kit for teeth whitening from your dentist, there are additional benefits for choosing this method over another, such as:
- In customized kits from the dentist, the concentration of the whitening solution is typically stronger than over the counter options. This can yield potentially more effective and noticeable results in less time that can leave patients having more confidence in flashing their pearly whites for their next Instagram selfie.
- A kit from the dentist ensures you are getting your money’s worth. While over the counter options may provide some degree of whitening, it is typically not as strong or long lasting and still comes at a somewhat pricey cost. For the additional money that the dentist’s kit would cost, patients can enjoy a customized fit designed to yield maximum benefit with minimal irritation to the gums. Using a bleach kit for teeth whitening from the dentist also generally takes less time to achieve desired results, and those results will generally last longer as well.
- Dentists can also do professional teeth whitening in office, but the bleach kits allow patients to do whitening daily in the comfort and privacy of their own home. This keeps the person from having to dedicate an hour or so at the dentist to receive an in-office treatment every time a session is required. Being at home enables patients to do customized teeth whitening while completing other tasks around the house.
- A professional teeth cleaning before a whitening treatment can make all the difference. Although daily brushing and flossing of your teeth is essential hygiene for maintaining good oral health, it is not usually as successful at removing plaque as a cleaning at the dentist. By getting a professional teeth cleaning, it allows a whitening treatment to be more effective since it is whitening the actual teeth instead of also the plaque on top of the teeth.
A bleach kit is for teeth whitening from the dentist can give a person an additional and professional option for brighter teeth and a more confident smile.

The fascinating history of French words that have entered the English language and the fertile but fraught relationship between English- and French-speaking cultures across the world.
English has borrowed more words from French than from any other modern foreign language. French words and phrases—such as à la mode, ennui, naïveté and caprice—lend English a certain je-ne-sais-quoi that would otherwise elude the language. Richard Scholar examines the continuing history of untranslated French words in English and asks what these words reveal about the fertile but fraught relationship that England and France have long shared and that now entangles English- and French-speaking cultures all over the world.
Émigrés demonstrates that French borrowings have, over the centuries, “turned” English in more ways than one. From the seventeenth-century polymath John Evelyn’s complaint that English lacks “words that do so fully express” the French ennui and naïveté, to George W. Bush’s purported claim that “the French don’t have a word for entrepreneur,” this unique history of English argues that French words have offered more than the mere seasoning of the occasional mot juste. They have established themselves as “creolizing keywords” that both connect English speakers to—and separate them from—French. Moving from the realms of opera to ice cream, the book shows how migrant French words are never the same again for having ventured abroad, and how they complete English by reminding us that it is fundamentally incomplete.
At a moment of resurgent nationalism in the English-speaking world, Émigrés invites native Anglophone readers to consider how much we owe the French language and why so many of us remain ambivalent about the migrants in our midst.

A lot of people own have homes. If you have a home, it is supposed to be your pride and joy. For your home to look good, you need to plant flowers and also set a barbecue for your yard. Also, you need to add landscape lighting to your yard. Landscape lighting is garden lighting on private gardens and public landscapes and it is used for the enhancement and purposes of safety, recreation, sports, and social event use. A number of advantages are experienced when landscape lighting is used. Some of these advantages are discussed in this article.
It is not a must for you to spend all your time in the living room. Sometimes you can spend your time outdoors. For example, you can decide to entertain your guests at your backyard, take your meals from there or even spend time with your kids there. When landscape lighting is used, the backyard can be used even at night since it adds illumination to that space. Also, an ambiance is added to your space when landscape lighting is used and thus making it usable for many things. However, you need to find that lights that fit the features of your home for your backyard to look good.
Different people have backyards which have different features. It is through landscape lighting that these features are highlighted. For example, if you have identified paths in your backyard, landscape lighting allows them to be easily identified. Also, landscape lighting can be used to mark property boundaries to ensure that it is not stepped on. For example, if you have a flower garden in your backyard, it can be easily identified when landscape lighting is used. Special features are also enhanced when landscape lighting is used. For example, lights can be placed next to fountains and spotlight trees to enhance how they look.
The value of the property of a person is enhanced when landscape lighting is used. A lot of buyers love homes which look good both on the inside and outside. Landscape lighting makes the outside of a home to look good and hence attracts a lot of buyers. The value of a home is higher when the outside looks than when there is nothing done on its outside. Therefore, landscape lighting makes a home to be bought at a higher price than it would have been bought if it did not have it.
Safety is enhanced when landscape lighting is used. It is through landscape lighting that people in your home are able to see all the things which are in your backyard at night. Therefore, the chances of a person stepping on something which is dangerous are very low when there are lights in the backyard. Also, pathways are identified when landscape lighting is used. Therefore, a person is able to see where he or she is supposed to pass through even if it is at night. Also, a passerby will not slip and fall near your property when landscape lighting is used. Above are some of the benefits of landscape lighting. | <urn:uuid:9c89b06e-c541-493d-ab32-b3689309e7ab> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.michaelkorsfactorystores.com/learning-the-secrets-of-18/ | 2023-10-03T15:16:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.972989 | 577 |

You however need to understand that, your truck cannot undertake those duties without a permit. You need to make it easier and legal for you to do your work without disturbances from the authority that is also doing their duties. For you to get a permit with the market full permit companies, you should look at the following factors.
Consider the license. You cannot be sure if a company is genuine if it does not have a license. Make sure that the permitting company you are working with so that you can get the best services. You do not want to get a fake DOT and MC numbers from a fake company that will lead you to the hands of the authority since you are operating with fake documents make sure you are safe from such dramas by confirming that the company is licensed. Since licenses are placed in a place you can see, make sure that the license is up to date as well.
Consider the experience of the company. You must choose a company that has worked in the field for a long time so that you can get quality services. A permitting company that has experience knows what is supposed to be done at all times and they will work towards your requirements, they will also guide you on how to go about other things which will be an added advantage to you.

The issue with a permitting person that is not qualified is that he or she does not know what is supposed to be done and whatever he or she does mostly is not correct.
Consider the reputation of the company. You need to listen to what people are talking about the permitting company that you want to use. People are very reliable point of reference and you must listen to them if you want to get quality services. Make sure that you consult other people with trucks before you choose the permitting company that you want to choose. You should look for recommendations and d after you get the recommendations you need to visit the website of the company so that you can read the review left by people who have used these services before to know what you expect.

There are organizations formed known as law firms which can involve either one or more lawyers with common intentions of assisting in law related engagements. It is the role of most law firms to advice and represent their clients in knowing their legal rights and their expected responsibilities. The lawyers are also mandated to representing civil and criminal cases. Customers are legally represented in their business transactions and any other matter that involve them in need of any assistance or legal advices. However, law firms are categorized into various types depending on the specifics of the jurisdiction practiced.
Sole proprietor lawyers have the rights to enjoy the credits, profits, liabilities and responsibilities of their law firm. In the circumstances where lawyers gather together and form partnership law firms, then they share equally all the profits, responsibilities and all the expected liabilities. For the purpose of lawyers to secure their interests they work in their law firms by maintaining, controlling and having more insight in regard to their occupation. Once you reach out to a specific law firm it is their obligation to ensure they safeguard the clients' interests and ensuring that they clearly understand their rights. One thing that maybe you never knew is that the lawyers acts so that they can maintain a powerful position in a specific country.
Globally, most countries have the right to engage in ownership interests without any regulations. When setting up law firm's lawyers are not supposed to raise any funds in public offerings through stock market. Lawyers should either contribute as partnership to a specific law firm or borrow loans from lenders directly into their accounts. Clients should never be charged huge sums of money by law firms when they represent them at any duty.
Honest is expected from lawyers when filling any case or seeking for defense in court against their interests. Interests of clients should be protected and the lawyers should not be expensive even though they are known with offering quality services.
At this juncture it is important that you get to know more statistical measures that explain the ranking of law firms. Net profit which is incurred per partner is one of the common identifier. A law firm with more profit is identified to have prestige and the capability of attracting more customers.
Less profitable law firms will definitely mean that they serve little number of clients when it comes to representation. Various partners who own law firms have the priority of sharing the gross revenue evenly. Ability of the law firms to generate revenue is included in their ranking without focusing on all the expenses and costs incurred during compensation. Net operating capital of all equity and non-equity partners is used to tell on their ranking. | <urn:uuid:e842bd46-93c9-41e5-a74a-a4381d432bb3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.michaelkorsfactorystores.com/why-not-learn-more-about-28/ | 2023-10-03T14:05:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.97762 | 506 |
First, what is mindfulness? Mindfulness is very close in meaning to awareness and also to attention. As in paying attention. You turn your attention to someone and just look at them and watch them and listen to them. Hear what they are saying. Take notice of what they are doing. Pay attention to them. To pay attention in that way is to be mindful. Just that. It is that simple!
There is also a bit more to it. Mindfulness includes certain qualities. Still it is a good starting point in your understanding of mindfulness to think of it as simply paying attention to what is happening right now. That is a start. . . and there is more to it.
When you do pay attention to something, how do you know you are paying attention? This is a tricky question, but just the same, try to answer it. . .
What makes it tricky is that to know you are paying attention you must do something extra: you must notice that you are paying attention. This is an important first characteristic to mindfulness. When being aware, someone who is being mindful knows they are being aware. Think of it this way: When driving a car you know you are driving a car. When washing the dishes you know you are washing the dishes. When brushing your teeth you know you are brushing your teeth. That would be mindfulness.
The second characteristic you should know about in order to understand mindfulness is that to be mindful you must be accepting. To be accepting is to notice something yet leave it alone. You are to leave the thing you are noticing alone and not try to do anything to it, but leave it alone in an open-hearted way. No resistance. This is different from what we usually do; usually we don’t simply accept something, we both notice it and then immediately evaluate its goodness or badness in relation to ourself.
For example, a cup of ice cream is sitting on the table. Think of all of the evaluations that go along with the perception: “Let’s have some now.” “Better not have any, I’m on a diet.” Or, “Too cold to eat ice cream.” All of these are implicitly evaluative and self oriented and add something to the simple act of noticing that there is a cup of ice cream on the table. The point is that when being mindful we notice, we know we are noticing, and we do not try to change anything. Mindfulness is a constant stream of noticing with acceptance.
Acceptance is of particular importance when it comes to internal experiences such as feelings or thoughts or emotions. When practicing mindfulness we accept these internal experiences too and don’t try to make them stay or go away.
The next characteristic of mindfulness is relaxation. Relaxation is particularly important when it comes to stress management. I won’t say much about stress right now, but know that our nervous system has two basic settings, one is heightened and a bit revved up and the other is lower and slower.
Next, we approach mindfulness with efficiency. By efficiency, what I mean is that we only work as hard as needed. No strain. For example, when you are sitting still, you do not need to work hard. Maybe you need to use the muscles along your spine to sit up straight, but not the muscles of your neck and shoulders, hands and arms.
So how do you relax? To relax is to release or let go of holding. Very often a person holds tension in their shoulders, tension that is not needed. The first thing a person who wants to relax needs to do is to notice the tension and then the second thing is to know how to let it go. Letting go is a physical process, like letting go of a clenched fist. You just let go.
Moment to moment awareness, that would be another characteristic of mindfulness. The way it works is that you notice what is happening in this very moment, and then you notice what is happening in this next very moment, and the next, and the next. Now many things are happening in every moment, far more than you could possibly notice. So we need to make a choice: what we generally do in mindfulness meditation practice, for example, is to notice the sensations of breathing. When breathing in you notice you are breathing in, when breathing out you notice you are breathing out. We use the breath as the anchor for our mindfulness and when our mind wanders we bring it back to the breath. But you could also notice the dishes if you are washing the dishes, or your driving when driving, or your footfalls when walking. That would also be mindfulness.
That is a start in your understanding of mindfulness | <urn:uuid:7aa453a2-f4b7-45f9-93bf-f73196d46379> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.michaelwizerpsychologist.com/post/what-is-mindfulness | 2023-10-03T12:50:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.969854 | 967 |

Mar 27, 2014 Philip Burgess
Those that live hand-to-mouth, using every cent left on their weekly paychecks to pay for bills, groceries and other perfunctory expenses, are not exempt from experiencing car trouble or having a water pipe burst in their kitchen. Caught in a catch-22 situation - the vehicle owner has to drive in order to get to work - he or she can turn to short term lending to provide a quick fix to the situation.
Providing quick financial stability
The service provides needy workers with immediate solutions, letting them pay back the amount borrowed over a certain period of time. Most short term lenders have made a genuine commitment to help those in a financial pickle while assisting the local economy.
It's not uncommon for these institutions to abstain from asking customers for consumer credit data, finding that doing so often drives them away. They recognize that some of these people have made financial mistakes in the past, but that doesn't mean they should be punished for it. Take for example Stacia Barton, manager of Missouri Loan Center, who doesn't require applicants to provide such information. The Branson Tri-Lakes News reported that Barton and her subordinates want to help those in need without interrogating them about their previous monetary actions.
"I try to treat my customers the way I would want to be treated," said Barton, as quoted by the news source.
All that's required of short term lending applicants at Missouri Loan Center is to provide proof of employment and residency, their driver's license, Social Security card and two recent bank statements. A financial profile of the customer is built, citing alternative credit data and work history. Barton claimed that the organization will not give a loan that exceeds a customer's ability to repay.
Bad credit? No problem
Poor consumer credit data can follow hardworking citizens for many years. It could potentially take them decades to mitigate the financial mishaps they have made. Although many have grown to be dependable, indefatigable employees, that doesn't change the fact that almost everyone is susceptible to falling on hard times.
A blog post on The Epoch Times claimed that the majority of short term lenders are using the immediate data at their disposal, such as paychecks and drivers' licenses to check for any recent hiccups a potential customer may have made. One such organization, Allied Cash Advance, acts as a third-party between borrowers and short term lenders, asking loan recipients to fill out an application online. If the statement is approved, the customer is immediately notified.
Some United States citizens are still pulling themselves out of the residual pitfalls caused by 2008 recession. Providing them with quick fixes to costly problems will push them in the right direction. | <urn:uuid:84ba72aa-f65d-4977-a852-9ffa121d76b3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.microbilt.com/news/article/short-term-lending-without-the-credit-check | 2023-10-03T15:13:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.965967 | 552 |
How can you make your resume really stand out? This has been the topic of books, articles, class assignments, and blogs for decades. It came up in conversation one day, and a friend of mine had a unique story. I’ve included it below, with some edits.
“With so much written on the topic, there is one resume that still sticks with me thirty-five years later. In the mid-1980s I was working as an electronics technician for a component manufacturer. The department had an opening to expand and hire a second technician. Before the internet, jobs were typically placed in a newspaper “want ads” with candidates mailing in the resumes and cover letters via U.S. mail. Among all the stacks of letters, my supervisor received one package about the size of a shoe box. Inside the box was a device that had an array of alphanumeric LED displays on its cover and written instructions on how to plug the device in and turn it on. After following the instructions, the red LED display lit up and started to scroll the applicant’s cover letter and resume in a continuous loop, which I still remember.
The applicant worked for Franklin Computer at the time. Franklin Computer was known for pocket dictionaries, spell checkers, and even an electronic Bible. In the mid-1980s they attempted to market Apple IIe clones.1 Unlike the easy availability of similar devices today, through his employer the applicant had access to resources so he could program and burn his resume to non-volatile memory chips of the day and program a Microcontroller (MCU) to display it. Along with catching our attention, it also demonstrated his skills and ability to contrast against others with a custom device. He got the job.
Recently, a client wanted an Arduino design that would remain dormant for up to 20 days in a dark box that would be delivered by mail. When the recipient opened the box, a custom message would scroll across a 1.3” OLED display. I accepted the project. It was a young web designer that wanted his resume to stand out among his competition. He planned to purchase a low-cost Arduino and OLED displays, assemble them into a custom package, and mail them to hiring managers at companies where he was going to apply. The client knew that what he was asking for was technically possible but didn’t have the skills to execute it. I was happy to take the assignment and create my oven version of the electronic resume display I had seen 35 years ago.
Having an Arduino scroll a message across an OLED display is relatively easy with available opensource libraries. Some custom programming was necessary to get the text to display word by word, as requested. Wiring between the Arduino and chosen OLED display was simplified by using a two-wire I2C interface. Detecting when the box had been opened was just a matter of using a photoresistor (a Light-Dependent Resistor) in a voltage divider across the Arduino’s external interrupt. But what about the 20-day power requirement? With only seven days to complete the entire project, how could I guarantee that the battery selection of the finished design would last 20 days? With some careful design consideration, reading the specification, and actual measurements, the deliverable design far exceeded the 20-day requirement. The design was validated by actual testing later.”
Eliminate the USB in favor of FTDI chip
One of the biggest advantages in developing on an Arduino microcontroller board is the ease of writing code using Arduino’s Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and then downloading it the to the Arduino board with a common standard-A to micro-B USB cable. However, like everything else, convenience comes at a cost. Arduinos with onboard USB support will consume additional power, even when they are not powering the Arduino via USB. On an Arduino UNO board, the USB support costs an additional 15mA. Fifteen milliamps may not seem like much, but it could significantly impact the ability of an entire design like the above to last 20 days.
On the other hand, some Arduino boards can be programmed using an FTDI cable. FTDI is a company that’s been manufacturing USB-to-serial converters for several years. (It’s important to only buy genuine FTDI products since counterfeit chips may not work well.) A genuine FTDI cable for this purpose costs about twenty dollars. The FTDI cable itself has an embedded chip that converts the computer-side (host) USB signals to Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) serial signals on the Arduino. When the USB circuitry moves from the Arduino to onboard the FTDI cable, there is no additional power drain when the Arduino is being powered by a battery. One such Arduino that supports FTDI programming is the Arduino Pro Mini. The Arduino Pro Mini 328 and Arduino Pro 328 are each available in two versions; both offer a choice of 3.3V running at 8MHz or 5V at 16MHz. So how do you evaluate the best selection for this design?
Choosing based on voltage level: 5Vdc or 3.3Vdc?
Most microcontrollers designed to run on Arduino boards typically come in either 5Vdc or 3.3Vdc logic level versions. The 5Vdc logic level comes from the legacy Vcc levels of the TTL serial technology dating back to the 1970s. The 5-volt logic level comes from the semiconductor processes and performance characteristics of the time. As such, many peripheral components like sensors and drivers were designed around these logic levels. 5Vdc logic level devices are still prevalent today as fully functional remnants of electronics in earlier times.
Advances in semiconductor processing have allowed lower voltage level highs at 3.3v, where 3.3v became the logical bit “1”, rather than 5v. Using a five-volt blip to register a logic level 1 consumes more energy than a 3.3-volt level for a logic level 1. (Near zero voltage level registers as a logic level 0 for both.) Thus, CMOS technology has created alternatives for TTL to perform the same functions at lower voltage levels. Lower voltage levels equal lower power consumption. Lower power consumption equates to longer battery life. Without any specific power calculations, choosing an Arduino that supports 3.3Vdc logic is the better choice. (Semiconductor process technology has brought voltage supply levels even lower, saving more power, but Arduinos don’t support voltage levels lower than 3.3v .)
Choose 8MHz or 16 MHz?
The driving goal of semiconductor development is faster and faster processor speeds. Other than cost, it seems rare that a designer would ever choose a slower processor speed over a faster one. However, remember that the faster the processor speed, the more heat that is dissipated by the processor. That’s why the latest computers will have a huge fan-cooled heat sink mounted directly on top of the processor chip. Taking a step back and looking at the OLED display design mentioned earlier, nothing in the design requires the top clock speed of 16MHz offered on the Arduino Pro or Mini Pro. The difference is just nanoseconds if you detect the opening of the box using an 8 MHz clock versus a 16 MHz clock, which is imperceivable to the user. The words displayed on the OLED display is in the range of hundreds of milliseconds at a time. By choosing the lower clock speed of 8MHz over the 16MHz, there’s no degradation in performance, and the MCU is consuming less power.
Power consumption evaluation
With our Arduino and OLED display chosen, what is our starting point for sizing the batteries to last 20 days? While we could continue to pour over the component documentation, there is no substitute for measuring the current draw of the circuit with a milliamp meter. Using the milliamp setting of a multimeter and attaching the probes as needed, we can see that we’re drawing about 15mA for the Arduino and OLED display. So, what size and how many batteries will we need to last 20 days? To calculate this, we need to look at the “milliamp-hours” each type of battery can supply.
Battery mAh capacity by type
While the ambient temperature and current draw influence battery life, it’s simpler to use the “milliamp hour” (mAh) rating for each alkaline battery size in Table 1 below. Note that since mAh refers to the amount of current the batteries can supply, connecting batteries in series to achieve the desired output voltage does not increase the mAh. One AA battery will supply 1.5Vdc for 2400 mA hours. Three AAs in series will supply 4.5Vdc for 2400 mA hours. You would have to connect the batteries in parallel to extend the capacity (in milliamp hours).
Calculate the number of days each battery type will last using the formula:
Days = (Capacity (mAh) / 15mA) x 1 Day/24 hours
You can get a maximum battery life out of the 6-volt lantern battery or a series of D batteries. Two D cells would provide 3 volts. However, that would put the supply at the low-end range of the selected 3.3V Arduino. While it would initially work, the batteries would only have to drain a few hundred millivolts before you’re out of range for a 3.3V Arduino. Therefore, it’s better to use three 1.5-volt batteries so that the batteries can drain by 33% before the supply starts to get into the problematic range.
Arduino deep sleep mode
The above is technically a solution, but a lantern and three D cell batteries are bulky. If bulky batteries are a problem, then you need to look at reducing the current draw of the system by implementing the “deep sleep mode” of the Arduino microcontroller. In deep sleep mode, the processor is halted until an external interrupt wired to the light sensor “wakes up” the Arduino and resumes the program. Since the processor is not running, only a small amount of current is used to monitor the external interrupt. After implementing the deep sleep mode, the supply current measures 1.9mA.
You now have more choices to meet the 20-day requirement, as shown in Table 3.
While AAA batteries meet the 20-day requirement, the AA batteries are a better choice, lasting more than twice the 20-day requirement and taking up not much more room than AAA batteries. AA batteries are significantly smaller than the C, D, or lantern battery choices.
OLED sleep mode
Although the OLED display has a sleep mode, it’s not worth implementing for this use case. While the Arduino is in its sleep mode, the OLED can be set to have all LEDs off. The display’s backlight LEDs in the off state reduce the current that’s drawn by the OLED, but the driver chip may be running at full power, albeit low. Implementing an OLED sleep mode might get the 1.9mA circuit current draw to under 1mA, allowing more confidence in selecting the AAA batteries, but the higher cost of AA batteries is worth the time and effort saved, considering that the scope of the project was a one-off shoe-box message delivery system. If you were building hundreds or thousands of these devices, it would be worth the time to design the lower current draw of the OLED driver, as well. However, for a dozen or so shoe box messaging systems, it isn’t worth it. Judgment calls regarding what is “good enough” to balance cost, schedule, and specification are all part of good engineering.

The UFAG C.I was a two-seat biplane that served the Austrian Air Service in many roles. First released in April 1918 and intended to update or replace earlier observation airplanes, its excellent speed and handling saw the UFAG C.I used for everything from escorting observation airplanes to ground attack to light bombing. The fastest two-seater produced by the Central Powers, its Hungarian manufacturer could not keep up with demands and only about 170 had been delivered when the war ended.
As a high-performing 2-seater, available in limited numbers, the UFAG C.I was often reserved for the best available crews. This model has special cards to reflect that.Contents:

Good Morning, Folks! May I tell you something about the unusual foods on today's menus? First I shall tell you about the dinner menu for the day.
The tomato soup is a cream tomato soup with some extra flavoring added to give it a spicy taste. Our cream tomato soup is made without soda. We use cream in the soup instead of milk, and soda is unnecessary.
Parsley is an unusually wholesome vegetable. We ought to eat more of it than we do. Parsley contains more vitamin A than any other vegetable. It is necessary to eat only a small amount of parsley in order to get all the vitamin A that is needed. Parsley used to garnish a dish should always be eaten. We have parsley in the soup today. You will find cream parsley soup very wholesome and tasty.
The cauliflower timbales are composed of cooked cauliflower cut in small pieces and combined with eggs and milk. This mixture is baked in timbale cups; then the timbales are turned from the molds and served with flavex cream sauce. This is a cream sauce flavored with a vegetable extract which closely resembles beef extract in flavor.
The nut cutlets are slices of nutene, one of our high protein foods which may be thought of as resembling white meat. These slices are served with a spicy tasting tomato sauce. The beets are flavored with fresh mint today—a palatable combination. The hot slaw is shredded cabbage heated in a hot lemon sauce.
The orange junket has no orange juice in it; it is just ordinary junket flavored with orange rind. The junket is served as a custard in a custard cup, but it contains no eggs. It is made by coagulating milk by the use of junket tablets.
I am sure you will like the raspberry pie with cream-cheese garnish. The raspberry filling is poured into a pastry shell, and a cream-cheese meringue is put on top, and the result is a very tasty pie.
The salt-rising bread is an old-fashioned bread that our great grandmothers used to make before it was possible to go to the store and buy a yeast cake. In the evening the old-fashioned corn meal was scalded with milk, and in the morning this was light and was used as a starter for making the bread. This bread has a peculiar flavor of its own, one that you will learn to like. It is whiter than ordinary bread, sweeter, and more tender.
Supper Menu.—On the supper menu we have cream of okra soup. Okra is a Southern vegetable which does not grow in our climate, but it is much enjoyed by the people of the South. It is in the shape of a pod, and has a spicy flavor and a gelatinous juice. It is almost always cooked with tomato, and sometimes sweet pepper is added.
The steamed natural brown rice compares with white rice as whole-wheat bread compares with white bread. That is, the bran and the germ which contain the minerals and the vitamins have not been removed. This rice has the full value of rice. Chinese and Japanese who live on white rice contract the disease beriberi, but so long as they use natural brown rice, they can keep well indefinitely.
The recipe for Esau's pottage was given me by a woman who has traveled in the Near East. She says this pottage is a favorite dish in Egypt and Palestine, and it is made from red lentils. You remember the story of the birthright that was sold for red pottage. That red pottage was made from red lentils, the vegetable that we use in this dish which has been named Esau's pottage. Lentils belong to the same class of vegetables as beans and peas, and they are high in protein.
The cupcakes are made light without the use of baking powder or soda. Loganberryade is a drink which has enough loganberry juice in it to give it a palatable taste. Loganberries were popular when they first came on the market, but they were so sour and it was necessary to use so much sugar with them that people soon tired of them. But we have only enough loganberry juice in this to give it a pleasant flavor.
Breakfast Menu.—On the breakfast menu we have soy sausage with gravy. This soy sausage contains soybeans, but you would never know it by the taste. It also contains nuts and flavorings which give it the flavor of sausage, and we serve it with a meaty tasting gravy.
The steamed prunes are soaked overnight and then steamed. Prunes are usually stewed, but when they are steamed they have a sweeter flavor. Sliced bananas in orange juice make a pleasant combination of flavors.
Our whole-wheat gems are made light without the use of baking powder or soda The soy basic bread is different from other breads in that it is basic instead of acid. It is made of soybean flour and white flour. Soybean flour is highly alkaline, and by combining it with white flour it is possible to make a bread that is alkaline instead of acid in ash.
Our molasses is not the usual black molasses. It is made by boiling down sugar-cane juice, just as maple sirup is made by boiling down maple sap.
Our raw sugar is not the usual raw sugar which comes from the tropics, made there by natives who know nothing of sanitation. If you had handled as much raw sugar as we have and found in it what we have, you wouldn't want to eat ordinary raw sugar. Our raw sugar is made by the Sugar Refining Company of New Jersey. They have devised a process by which they can clean raw sugar and leave all the minerals in it, and they call it Jack Frost Grans. It has a very pleasant flavor, and dissolves in the mouth more readily than granulated sugar.
I am sure you have never tasted any honey like our strained honey. It is depollenized honey. That is, it has had removed from it that which makes honey disagree with some people; so anybody can eat this depollenized honey.
Suggestions on Selections.—Now, if you will return to the dinner menu, I will make suggestions for balanced meals. You might select either of the soups listed, and I would suggest nut cutlets with fine herb sauce, baked potato, beets with mint, spinach, lettuce with oilless dressing, orange junket, tomato juice, salt-rising bread, and butter. If you wish to try the raspberry pie, I would suggest that you choose the cream parsley soup, ripe olives, out cutlets, baked potato, mashed squash, tomato juice, salt-rising bread, and butter.
From your supper menu you might choose any one of the soups, Esau's pottage, melba salad, grapenut ice cream, and a cupcake; or milk, whole-wheat bread and butter, and one or two selections from the fruits.
From the breakfast menu, I would suggest that you try creamed Graham toast instead of cereal, soy sausage or an egg, sliced bananas in orange juice, wheat-germ gems, and butter.
And now I shall say good-by until tomorrow morning.

Three Brands Of Frozen Vegetables Tested, ONE Crowned The Freshest (2023)
Mishry reviewed three brands of frozen vegetables and titled Safal’s as the best. Here’s why.
Our reviews are research-based, and all trials and testings are conducted in-house over days and weeks. We have a strict no-free-sample policy to ensure our reviews are fair and impartial.
Frozen veggies are often looked down on as undernutritious alternatives to the real thing. Don’t get us wrong, nothing could ever beat freshly picked veggies pulled straight from the soils of the earth. But we are here to bust some myths and add more convenience to your time in the kitchen, you’re welcome.
We chose three contenders for our best frozen vegetables brands review – Safal, ITC Farmland, and Godrej Yummiez. In addition to crowning one of these, we share the 411 on frozen veggies.
Ready to learn?
Our Review Factors
Taste and texture remain the prime parameters for our best frozen vegetables brands review. In addition to these, we also took into account factors like the ingredients, appearance, and overall quality.
Do the vegetables retain their natural flavors? For instance, corn and peas have a certain sweetness, French beans taste muted with some starchiness, while carrots have an earthy sweetness.
So how close did these packaged, frozen variants come to the real deal?
While some veggies are chewy and juicy, other have a firmer bite by nature. Under this parameter, we gauged the pre and post-cooking texture of the frozen vegetables. Were they limp and mushy, or did they have a soft, firm bite?
We clubbed freshness and quality under one.
While taste and texture are the key indicators of freshness, here we gauged the appearance. Are the veggies peeled properly? Are the cuts even? Do they look vibrant, or did we notice some dark spots?
4. Other Parameters
The price, packaging, shelf life, proportion of veggies, and other non taste-based parameters were considered here.
Our Review Process
We thawed a portion outside the refrigerator. These were blanched for around 10 minutes in order to eliminate any excess ice build up.
We prepared a basic sabzi with some some oil, ginger, salt and chillies. No onion/tomato was used as it would significantly influence the taste of the veggies.
The 411 on Frozen Veggies – Busting Myths
Before we dive into details of our testing and the verdict, here are some facts, myth-busters on frozen veggies.
How are frozen vegetables frozen? What is the process?
Essentially, vegetables are frozen immediately after harvest. This quickness ensures maximum nutrient retention.
This nutrient retention varies from vegetable to vegetable. For instance, frozen broccoli has more riboflavin as compared to frozen peas.
The steps are- cook veggies in boiling water (blanch) for a minute or two. Follow this up by briefly dipping them in ice water until chilled.
Drain the water, pat the veggies dry and place them in a freezer-safe container.
If you do not have this, you can just as easily freeze the veggies on some baking sheet.
Next, freeze them with a vacuum sealer. This is to prevent any contact with air, which may affect the flavor.
What are the potential benefits of frozen vegetables?
Firstly- convenience. Frozen vegetables help to enhance your intake of micronutrients and fiber with convenience. Next, you have access to almost every vegetable all-year round.
Frozen vegetables also help you get a bang for your buck as they are relatively cheaper, have a longer shelf life (this means chances of veggies going bad before you use them are lower).
Common Mistakes with Frozen Veggies You Can Avoid
1. Defrosting before cooking
Thawing results in limpy vegetables after cooking. Most frozen vegetables must be added directly to the recipe you are preparing. They will have a better, more natural texture.
However, there are exceptions. You must defrost leafy vegetables (spinach, for instance) as these leaves are packed in a solidified block.
2. Adding Heat
We do not really boil, steam, or microwave fresh vegetables. So why would you do that with the frozen counterpart?
Instead, dry heat cooking alternatives like sauté/roast work way better and deliver significantly better results.
3. The shelf life is a real limit
As mentioned above, frozen veggies certainly have a longer shelf life than fresh ones. But does that mean you can store them for months and months? NO, you should not. It may not impact the vegetables nutritionally, but storing frozen vegetables past their shelf life dry them out, and deteriorate the taste and texture.
Therefore, in our opinion, there are definitely certain variations between fresh and frozen vegetables. But these differences also occur based on modes of cooking, seasonings, pairing them with other macronutrients, etc.
Though fresh cannot be compared to frozen, frozen vegetables can make for a nutritious and convenient addition to your diet.
Frozen Mixed Vegetables – Detailed Review
This section discusses all the details about the brands we tested.
1. Safal Frozen Mixed Vegetables – Mishry Top Pick
There was no shred of doubt when it came to honoring Safal’s frozen vegetables as our Top Pick. It fared exceptionally across parameters.
This was a balanced mix of green peas, cauliflower florets, carrot cubes, and French beans. The veggies looked fresh, vibrant, and quite appetizing. We liked how there were no random dark patches or spots at all, thumbs up. These were chopped fairly uniformly which would ensure a similar cooking time.
On to tasting…
The veggies cooked really well yet retained a soft bite. The sweet peas and carrots, juicy beans and fresh cauliflower – all of them retained their original flavors and did not feel stale, limp or watery. The freshness of the frozen vegetables by Safal is commendable.
A 500-gram pack is priced at Rs 80/- and has an 18-month shelf life. This comes in a green pouch and cannot be resealed.
The ingredients are green peas, cauliflower florets, carrot cubes, and french beans.
- Looks appetizing
- Almost identical cuts
- Very vibrant
- No additives
- Soft bite
- Fresh tasting
For your sabzis or pulaos, even snacks like tikki/cutlets, Safal Frozen veggies are a quick way to get the fiber and micronutrients.
2. Farmland Frozen Mixed Vegetables
ITC Farmland Frozen veggies were a small step down from our Top Pick. Despite having a vibrant appearance, these did not look desirable. The cuts were wildly uneven. There were some whole beans, some humongous florets of cauliflower, and also some super thin slivers of carrots. This doesn’t just impact the visual appeal but it also disturbs the time it requires to be cooked evenly.
That said, these did taste fresh which was a saving grace.
This half kg pack is priced at Rs 70/- and has a shelf life of 12 months. The ingredients are frozen green peas (35%), frozen cauliflower (25%), frozen carrot (25%), and frozen french beans (15%)
- Fresh to taste
- No additives
- Detailed ingredient list
- Uneven chops
- Not very pleasing to look at
3. Godrej Yummiez Mixed Vegetables
The overall quality of Godrej Yummiez frozen vegetables was below average. Neither appearance nor the taste were decent. These veggies lacked freshness in terms of color. They have been chopped/sliced very finely which brings down the versatility. Even the characteristic flavors of veggies (sweetness of carrots, and peas; the taste of beans) were poor.
Godrej Yummiez Frozen Vegetables are offered in packs of 500 grams, priced at Rs 90/- The shelf life a year and half (18 months)
The main ingredients are carrots, cauliflower, french beans, and green beans.
- Lack vibrancy
- Veggies lack freshness
Our Top Picks & Recommendations
Why did we choose Safal as our Top Pick?
Safal Frozen Mixed Vegetables were rightly our Top Pick as they had the correct texture, the natural flavors and appearance, plus were chopped evenly. The vegetables tasted fresh and were appealing to look at. These retained a desirable texture post-cooking also.

Zach Price, who was on Louisville’s national championship team announced he’s coming to Missouri. Price, a 6’10, 250 power forward, will have to sit out next season, but the junior will have two years of eligibility. Price was a four star recruit out of high school, but only played in 25 games in two seasons at Louisville. Last season he made seven starts. Louisville coach Rick Pitino said playing time was the major issue for Price. Price was actually recruited by Mizzou associate coach Tim Fuller when he was with the Louisville staff.
During the Cardinals championship run, Price averaged just 1.3 points and 1.4 rebounds in 7.7 minutes per game. However, he was recruited based on being known as a good low-post scorer and a potentially solid rebounding force around the basket.
Tiger fans certainly know how valuable transfers can be. Last season Mizozu had four transfer student-athletes who average double figures last season–Jabari Brown, Alex Oriakhi, Keion Bell and Earnest Ross.
Frank Haith and his staff have already snagged Tulsa transfer Jordan Clarkson, who will be eligible this season, and Baylor swing man/guard Deuce Bello will join Price for the 2014-15 season.
I found this video of Price having fun with fans just before he made his debut with Louisville at the Derby Festival Classic. | <urn:uuid:540f9973-34cb-4fa2-b3b1-a12a93496a8c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.missourinet.com/2013/07/01/mizzou-basketball-grabs-louisville-transfer-price/ | 2023-10-03T13:00:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.981558 | 289 |
The Inquiry of Ugra (Ugrapariprccha) is one of the most influential Mahayana sutras, preserved and transmitted in both India and China over many centuries and actively quoted in treatises on the bodhisattva path. It is, nevertheless, one of the most neglected texts in Western treatments of Buddhism. The Ugra appers to be one of the earliest bodhisattva scriptures to come down to us, and as such it offers a particularly valuable window on the process by which the bodhisattva path came to be seen as a distinct vocational alternative within certain Indian Buddhist communities. The Bodhisattva Path is a study and translation of the Ugra that will fundamentally alter previous perceptions of the way in which Mahayana was viewed and practiced by its earliest adherents. To achieve a better understanding of the universe of ideas, activities, and institutional structures within which early self-proclaimed bodhisattvas lived, the author first considers the Ugra as a literary document, employing new methodological tools to examine the genre to which it belong, the age of its extant versions, and their relationships to one another. She goes on to challenge the dominant notions that the Mahayana emerged as a "reform" of earlier Buddhism and offered lay people an "easier option." On the contrary, the picture that emerges is of the early Mahayana as a more difficult and demanding vocation, initially limited to a small contingent of monastic males. Combining a detailed critical study and translation of an important Buddhist scripture with a sweeping re-examination of the relationship between the Buddha and the practitioners alike and other interested in the history of Indian Buddhism and the formation of Mahayana.

ARE MY BELONGINGS SAFE AT MODERN STORAGE?
July 13th, 2021
FIND SAFE STORAGE UNITS IN LITTLE ROCK
Is safety a concern for you when it comes to finding a place to store your stuff? Good! It should be! That’s why our goal is to provide safe storage units in Little Rock that our customers can trust. While 100% safety cannot be guaranteed (we can’t predict the unpredictable), we do our absolute best to make sure we use the latest security features available. Each Modern Storage location is equipped with exterior lighting, controlled-access gates, and 24-hour surveillance cameras to help keep your unit safe. But, that’s not all! Let’s dive into all the security measures we take at our self-storage facilities across the Little Rock metro area.
When you drive up to our storage facilities, you will see it is secured by electrically-powered, controlled-access gates at the entrance and exit points. The only way to open them is by using your unique gate code issued to you on your move-in day. Only customers with a valid access code can enter a Modern Storage facility. Each security gate even has a license plate reader to help us identify all vehicles coming into our facilities. If you need to stop by, you can reach your safe storage unit daily from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm. We even offer 24-hour access for any customers that may need it for as low as $10 per month!
Our self-storage facilities are under constant surveillance by dozens of security cameras. Our West Little Rock facility has over 50! These security cameras are top-of-the-line to help ensure the safety of you and your items in storage.
Locks and Latches
Our safe storage units have built-in latches that can hold a variety of different locks to keep your items secured. Don’t have your own lock? No worries! We have disc locks and pinhole locks available for purchase at every Modern Storage location.
As a bonus, our West Little Rock location even equips each storage unit with a door alarm! Anytime your unit door is opened, you will receive a notification, and so will we. All you have to do is download an app to your phone to monitor the safety of your storage unit.
On top of the cameras, locks, gates, and alarms, we also have a manager living on-site at each location to help with any emergencies.Our offices are open Monday through Saturday, with West Little Rock even open on Sundays.

Starting at $9 a month for $2,000 worth of coverage, tenant insurance comes in several coverage options to fit your needs.

The Utility Green Jefferson Native Shoe looks great with the little guy's wardrobe! This new color is very verstile.
The Jefferson style is the most popular! It's the leader of lite-ness and Native's original EVA all-star. Like any reigning ruler of the ring, the Jefferson encompasses all of the fine features that you'd expect from a Native shoe. It's shock absorbent, odor resistant, hand-washable, and comes in an infinite assortment of colors and treatments. | <urn:uuid:dda920c6-a79c-4417-9e88-c9e95c84a405> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.mommiechicandme.com/products/native-jefferson-shoes-utility-green | 2023-10-03T14:50:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.92292 | 103 |
When it comes to family movie night and seeking out what we will watch together, I find that allowing everyone a chance to share what they like and want to see makes our family movie nights a fun night that everyone looks forward to. I also find that when we have a selection to choose from, that we get a chance to watch a variety of both movies and shows. So when we were sent the Star Wars Rebels: Season 3 on Blu-Ray to review, I knew that my son would not only enjoy watching it over and over again as well as have fun sharing it as his pick for our family movie night!
In Star Wars Rebels Season 3, you get 22 episodes that are action packed and follow the story from season 2. Where you have the established Ghost Crew on Atollon, and where the Rebels have a stronger leader who is building a bigger and stronger group to help when they stand against the Empire. The Rebels might be a fierce force but they find that their skills are tested as they find that the new Grand Admiral wants to take out the Rebellion and is one who is a threat like none they have seen. Along with the 22 episodes we also got some great bonus features as well. Making the Star Wars Rebels: Season 3 on Blu-Ray a great choice to go with to add to any Star Wars Rebels fan’s collection and also a great choice to add to your next family movie night!
Product received, thank you to Disney Movies as well as the PR for supplying me with a product for this review, all opinions are my own. | <urn:uuid:4398d2b8-2496-4aad-9ba2-0638b0cfc893> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.mommykatie.com/2017/08/star-wars-rebels-season-3-on-blu-ray.html | 2023-10-03T14:22:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.979305 | 316 |

I recently attended a training with my mentor, Todd Herman, and he introduced this concept called “Pillow Happy,” which I just had to share with you. It’s all about doing the things during the day that will guarantee you are in a blissful state of happiness and contentment when your head hits the pillow at night. And I am not just talking about the woo-woo things like being grateful, meditating, drinking water, etc. (I think you need that, but that is not what I am talking about.) I am talking about the hard things. You know the things you want to do but don’t feel like doing. Because otherwise, you won’t have a good night. No Pillow Happy for you.
And you know what robs you of Pillow Happy?
- Unchecked money problems
- Ignored money problems
Because when it is late at night. And the house is dark and silent; fears, worries, and doubts start to creep into our minds.
You and I both know the drill. Questions start swirling in our heads, like:
- How on earth am I going to pay off my IRS debt?
- Seriously, how did my debt get so big?
- What if my spouse finds out? Could it lead to a divorce?
- And what about my clients? Will they start doubting my abilities and think I’m a fraud?
And on and on and on.
But do you know what is the simple cure for that?
Are you ready for the answer?
Take Action – do the thing that you want to do but don’t feel like doing.
Yes, that simple! I didn’t say it was easy. I just said simple.
And also, notice I didn’t say take massive action; I just said take action.
And that can be something as simple as:
- Open that unopened IRS letter. Facing the situation head-on will immediately lift some weight off your shoulders.
- Find out the exact amount you owe. Having a clear understanding of your money obligations will help you make informed decisions moving forward.
- Hey, if you’re up for it, why not book a meeting with me? We can talk about how you can conquer your tax debt once and for all.
So, my wish for you today is for you to experience a truly Pillow Happy night. So, I urge you to take that first step, no matter how small it may seem. Trust me; it can make all the difference in the world.
Wishing you clarity (and a good night’s sleep),

Chicago Fire will eventually return to NBC, but not right away.
The network ordered a new season of Chicago Fire and planned to debut those episodes in Fall 2023.
When the Writers Strike began in May, an earlier hint was delivered that the season would get delayed.
And when the actors and actresses went on strike recently, it forced NBC to make a big announcement.
Production has halted on Chicago Fire Season 12, with no new episodes ready to air on NBC.
NBC has now revealed its new fall schedule. It is devoid of new content from One Chicago.
How long is the wait for new episodes of Chicago Fire?
Let’s start with the bad news. There is no end date in sight for the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
Negotiations have reportedly broken down, meaning contracts aren’t even being discussed.
If the strikes don’t end, the production team can’t return to working on Chicago Fire Season 12.
The hope would be that negotiations resume and that an agreement is reached between the sides within the next few months.
A quick resolution could mean production resumes in the fall and episodes begin debuting in the winter.
But with negotiations completely stalled, it is unlikely that Chicago Fire will air new content in 2023.
The prevailing winds also suggest difficulties in having content ready for early 2024.
It’s not exaggerating to state that Chicago Fire has been postponed indefinitely. There is no scheduled return date, and if the strikes drag out for months, episodes might not be ready for Spring 2024 either.
More television news
The major networks have all scrambled to find content for Fall 2023.
Over at CBS, NCIS: Hawai’i was taken off the schedule. CBS is also rolling out more seasons of its hit reality competition shows, including Survivor, Big Brother, and The Amazing Race.
A new show called Superfan debuts soon. On the reality competition show, contestants try to prove they are the biggest fan of a specific musical artist.
The downtime for Chicago Fire fans will be difficult due to the cliffhangers from Season 11. Fans still don’t have a resolution to Kelly Severide being missing in action.
One character is also clinging to life after getting injured during a domestic terror attack on the city.
At least the One Chicago shows are still airing repeat episodes on other networks during the downtime, and the shows are always available for streaming.
Chicago Fire is currently streaming on Peacock. | <urn:uuid:b13cdddf-affe-4626-9c13-91641fd5ff74> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.monstersandcritics.com/tv/when-does-chicago-fire-return-with-new-episodes/ | 2023-10-03T15:14:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.951891 | 519 |
Community Action Champions
The Community Action Commission (CAC) of Santa Barbara County just held their 13th annual CAC Champions dinner in Solvang at the Corque Hotel. Until recently, I was not aware of this nonprofit and all they do. But during the mudslide, they were my lifeline when I called 211. I always got a real person on the line and could ask if we were supposed to evacuate. Since we were right on the border, I never knew. They could zero-in on their computer maps to our house and tell exactly. Little did I know that was part of CAC.
Once a year, CAC honors those champions of youth, families, and seniors in our County. This year, one of the stars was Fran Forman, the newly retired executive director of CAC. She worked tirelessly on behalf of children, teens, families, and seniors to promote their education, job skills, physical/emotional well-being, and economic security in an effort to stabilize their lives.
Another champion was Dr. Kevin Walthers, who is superintendent/president of Allan Hancock College. He has built relationships with the community and created innovative fundraising programs. Under his leadership, the college launched The Hancock Promise, which allows students who graduate from high schools in Santa Maria, Lompoc, Santa Ynez, and Cuyama to receive their first year of tuition and fees for free.
The third star was CenCal Health (CCH), which gave a generous matching gift allowing this year’s event to raise more than $100,000 to support the Healthy Senior Lunch program of CAC in our County. CCH began from a small local health plan to the largest health insurer in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. They provide for those who would not otherwise have health care coverage.
Introducing the Champions were Jim Raggio, Bob Freeman, and Guy Walker. David Bolton was master of ceremonies. Upon arrival, we had a wine reception outdoors on the terrace and then went into the ballroom for dinner and awards.
CAC works through its 22 health and human service programs, including Head Start, Healthy Senior Lunch, Weatherization Assistance, Family & Youth Services, and 211 Santa Barbara. They serve more than 10,000 people throughout the County each year and employ 400 health education and social service workers, and are one of the County’s largest employers.
CAC executive director Pat Keelean wanted us to know the top event sponsors were CenCal Health, Rabobank, Athur Gallagher, BB&H Benefit Designs, Chumash Foundation, and Deckers. “Tonight, we are all partners in the quest to ensure our seniors remain healthy and independent – that makes each one of you a champion as well.”
You can dial 211 to find health and human services for postpartum depression, health care, counseling, food assistance, housing, and much more.

Montefiore in the News
Dominican Day Parade to honor NYC front-line workers

Dominican Day Parade to honor NYC front-line workers Tuesday, August 4, 2020
Ahead of the first-ever virtual Dominican Day Parade, Eyewitness News is celebrating the accomplishments of Dominicans in our area - including front-line workers.
NEW YORK (WABC) -- Ahead of the first-ever virtual Dominican Day Parade, Eyewitness News is celebrating the accomplishments of Dominicans in our area -- including the front-line workers who put up a fight against COVID-19. At the onset of the pandemic, Dr. Miguelina German says there were mothers at Montefiore Medical Center with COVID-19 who couldn't nurse for various reasons and there were children in the pediatric practices who needed to eat.
"It just became this perfect storm where really the infants were forgotten," German said. "Although the mayor did a wonderful job committing to providing food to the department of education, that didn't include babies." That is when German created infant survival kits that include diapers, wipes and if a family requested it, formula. German and her team how now given out 1,400 kits to date and for this, she is one of the health care heroes being honored at this year's Dominican Day Parade. "As someone who has attended the parade in years past I could never have imagined that I would be honored," German said. "It's a little shocking and fills me with joy and pride." Dr. Denise Nuñez, a pediatric ICU physician, is also being honored this year. When she's not on the front lines in the ICU at Montefiore, she volunteers with Somos Community Care to administer COVID-19 tests. "I'm just grateful that we are here and able to celebrate somehow. Especially going through what we went through and being in the ICU and seeing so many people just pass away," Nuñez said. "It's just the fact that we're celebrating, it's good. I'm very happy." But for Nuñez, her commitment to providing health care to the Latino community in the Bronx goes back 10 years when she went on medical mission trips to Latin America and when she opened a pediatric practice, an urgent care and started the Niño de la Caridad Foundation. | <urn:uuid:698ba82a-d1d2-48a3-8728-87c65cdd4573> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.montefiore.org/dominican-day-parade-to-honor-nyc-front-line-workers | 2023-10-03T13:14:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.976519 | 484 |

Retailer Spotlight: Suzanne's Bridal Boutique
October 31st, 2016 Wedding IDEAS, INSPIRATION AND INSIDER TIPS
Here at Moonlight Bridal, we’re ecstatic about our upcoming trunk show at Suzanne’s Bridal Boutique in Gilbert, Arizona. Owned by Suzanne Novak, the boutique brings the colorful spirit of her native Hawaii to the greater Phoenix area.
That “aloha spirit” is what makes Suzanne’s stand out from the rest — the atmosphere is warm, inviting and full of love for each and every bride.
We sat down with Suzanne’s to get the details on the boutique, the upcoming trunk show and the latest trends in bridal fashion. Read on to learn more about the woman behind the magic, and be sure to visit Suzanne’s in person November 4-6 to check out the latest Moonlight styles!
Q. How did you get your start as a business? What is the back story for the boutique?
A. Got my start in the business doing alterations for other bridal shops. Realized this was my passion and decided to do it for myself :). In addition, I'm terribly cute, extremely talented, but mostly humble :).
Q. What trends are you currently seeing in bridal fashion? Are there any personal favorites?
A. The trends we're seeing for 2017 so far are a lot of 3-D floral details, romantic oversize bows, off-the-shoulder gowns, cut-out or sheer cathedral trains, and of course my personal favorite, capes. Capes are a great new option to wear instead of a veil for the fashion-forward bride.
Q. Can you walk us through a step-by-step process of the typical wedding dress shopping experience at your store?
A. To begin, our brides and their guests are greeted warmly at the front desk by our receptionist Robyn and will check in with her. Then the bride will be introduced to her bridal stylist and will have a brief discussion on what kind of dress style she is looking for. The store layout will be explained and the bride will be taken through a brief walk through of the store. Dress styles will be pulled by the bridal stylist and the bride herself and then the try-on process will begin. The bride is assisted into each dress by the bridal stylist.
The bride can walk out of her dressing room and stand in front of a 3-way mirror and a seating area to model her gown choices. If she finds her dream gown with us, she will be measured for her correct gown size and will place her dress order in the preferred color. The brand-new gown will arrive in store anywhere from 2-6 months later and at that point the alterations process with Suzanne herself will begin.
Q. Is there any key "wedding dress shopping secret" that's often overlooked by brides? If so, what?
A. Usually brides will purchase a dress from a boutique, pick up the gown and will be left to find somewhere to do the alterations. When a bride purchases her gown at a full service bridal salon like Suzanne's, she's taken care of from beginning to end with bridesmaid dresses, mother of the occasion dresses, veils, accessories, tuxedo rentals, pressing, alterations, cleaning, and gown preservation.
Q. What's your favorite part of owning a wedding dress boutique?
A. Building lasting relationships with our brides and providing excellent customer service is our top priority and is the best part of this business. Having our brides come back with their newly engaged friends and family is the biggest compliment we can receive.
Q. What advice would you offer someone who's considering looking at a dress in your shop?
A. A few tips for shopping in our store would be to consider different dress styles than you had in mind. Sometimes a bride will come in with a specific dress silhouette in mind without thinking about the best dress style to fit and flatter her body type. Just stay open minded if you have never been dress shopping before.
Another tip for a bride who is looking at a dress in our store is to come in with a budget in mind. We will always ask you your dress budget before pulling dresses so we never make you fall in love with a dress out of your price range.
Q. What sets Suzanne's Bridal apart from other wedding dress boutiques?
A. Suzanne. She has been doing wedding gown and formal wear alterations for 40 years! If you're going to trust anyone with your wedding gown alterations it should be her. We also always have the newest wedding gown trends from top designers in store!
Q. What can visitors expect at a trunk show? Will there be any special trunk show promotions?
A. Brides can expect to try on an array of different dress styles that are not typically in store and are here for one weekend only. If a bride purchases her dress during the trunk show weekend she will receive 10% off her gown purchase when paid in full.We’re truly looking forward to showcasing the latest Moonlight Bridal styles at the upcoming trunk show and proud to work with bridal boutiques like Suzanne’s! Be sure to visit Suzanne’s Bridal Boutique, located at 645 N. Gilbert Rd. Suite 174-176 in Gilbert, Arizona, November 4-6 to explore the hottest trends in bridal fashion. | <urn:uuid:13aa8ab0-6718-4cda-8c09-05c48590f5b7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.moonlightbridal.com/Blog/12-wedding-ideas-inspiration-and-insider-tips/104-retailer-spotlight-suzannes-bridal-boutique/ | 2023-10-03T15:09:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.934488 | 1,130 |

You may be aware that shamans use and burn herbs, incenses or resins in their healings and journeys. What we breathe is very important because the aromatic herbs reach the brain, so shamans are very careful about what they burn. They can burn herbs for healing, for cleaning people or places or to call spirits and have visions.
Shamanic Sacred Smokes Reiki attunes your energetic field to all the healing substances of a shaman so you can use them even without actually burning anything.
It’s not important if you don’t know anything about herbs because with this energy you will get exactly what you need for your session!

Bugatti Chiron Super Sport Hits Dyno, Makes Nearly 1,600 Horsepower
Bugatti really doesn’t have anything left to prove at this point. However, just as a reminder, they tend to prove themselves anyway. In the case of one of the world’s most powerful sports cars, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, the advertised horsepower out of the box is 1,578. However, Bugatti recently put one on a dyno just to remind everyone that those numbers, while massive, are far from imaginary.
The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport made more power than advertised
A recent Bugatti press release outlines the experience Bugatti had with putting the Chiron Super Sport on the dyno. It wasn’t just to flex the car’s power, either. Bugatti engineers actually used the dyno to simulate a full-throttle run to a speed of over 270 miles per hour. Of course, while it is standing still, it’s important to remember that the dyno does simulate road friction and resistance to adequately produce real-world load conditions. Additionally, the wheels are actually spinning as fast as they would if the car were traveling over 250 mph on a real road.
“On the all-wheel single-roller dynamometer, all the components can be tested under real driving conditions neutrally and comprehensibly. Driving resistance levels which are identical to those on the road are simulated,” says Michael Gericke, engine developer at Bugatti. “We can also reproduce the tests at any time of the year and no matter what the weather. This helps us in our permanent search for technical perfection,” he says.
Putting a Chiron on a dyno to go over 270 mph is no trivial task, either. Bugatti co-developed a restraint system with the dyno owner specifically for this test. Holding a car like this in place is a serious endeavor. Doing it wrong could cause major issues. Additionally, a massive custom cooling fan that’s over 12 feet tall provides the much-needed airflow to the Bugatti’s intakes. All said and done, the fan produces over one million cubic feet of air an hour.
In the end, the dyno results read 1,618 PS, which works out to 1595.86 horsepower. That’s nearly 20 more horsepower than Bugatti advertises. That’s no small feat. Though, it seems pretty minuscule compared to the massive power figure in the first place.
This test wasn’t just for show
Although you’ll rarely ever see a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport owner actually use its power to its maximum potential, Bugatti still wants to ensure that it is safe to do so. That is the primary purpose Bugatti performed this test. After all, the company can’t just advertise that a car can effortlessly achieve and travel at 270 mph with no hard evidence backing that claim.
“This means we can guarantee free and, above all, safe running, even at full load and top speed,” explains Gericke.
With a starting price of about 3.4 million U.S. dollars, one should hope that this kind of testing is being performed.
So, even if not for flexing, it’s still a pretty unique and awesome spectacle to see a multi-million dollar car making four-digit horsepower numbers on a dyno.
Here’s a fun fact from Bugatti to wrap things up. At 260 mph, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport’s tires turn over 50 revolutions per second or about 477 rpm. The forces exerted on the tire tread are over 4,000 times that of gravitational acceleration. That’s about 444 times the lethal amount of G-forces for a human! | <urn:uuid:b72c2332-d312-4dac-934c-227d141fbfe4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.motorbiscuit.com/bugatti-chiron-super-sport-hits-dyno-makes-1600-horsepower/ | 2023-10-03T15:05:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.926778 | 792 |
Bus and strategic freight reliability overview
Summary of indicator
To measure the level of consistency of transport services for bus and strategic freight related trips.
Places do not exist in isolation from each other, and people within them form part of a wider community across the town, city or region. Public transport provides equitable and efficient access to and from more distant places, and deliveries and servicing are essential to create vibrant places. Both modes should be provided at the appropriate priority to their frequency and service type to enable connected and reliable journeys.
This indicator will support practitioners to understand the consistency of travel times across different days and/or times of day. Based on the outcome of the assessment, practitioners can determine whether improvements could be made to address poor performance.
Practitioners can use the planning time per kilometre metric to measure the total travel time that a traveller needs to allow to ensure that they arrive on time most of the time.
Practitioners can use the buffer time per kilometre metric to measure the additional time that a traveller needs to allow for unexpected delays to ensure that they arrive at their destination on time and is a measure of variability.
Practitioners can use the typical delay time per kilometre metric to measure the average variation in travel time from the free flow travel time and reflects traffic efficiency, such as the level of traffic congestion.

Bhagwan Shri Bajrangbali was born in a Vanar family based in Kishigandha. His father was Pawan (God of Wind), and his mother Anjani. He had two brothers, Sugreev and Vali (aka Bali), and a nephew, Angadh, Vali's son. As a child Bajrangbali has always regarded the skies and universe as his playground and could leap and fly around at will, even swallowing the sun on one occasion. With powers to fly, enlarge his body, he makes himself virtually invulnerable. He obtains his training from Surya Dev, and as a fee for this training, he disciplines Shani Dev with the help of the now vanquished Mangal Dev. When Vali abducts Sugreev's wife and holds her captive, Anjani summons Bajrangbali, who with the help of now exiled Bhagwan Shri Ram, manages to kill Bali, ensures that Sugreev is reinstated as the King of Kishigandha, and then the entire Vanar and Vrush (bear) armies go to assist Ramji, whose wife, Devi Maa Sita, has been abducted by Shivbakht Ravan, and is being held captive in far off Lanka. Bajrangbali locates Sitaji, kills Akshaye, Ravan's son, mocks Ravan, and even sets Lanka afire, before returning back to Ramji, and tells him that he has 30 days to get Sita back before Ravan forcibly marries her. With Bhagwan Shri Shivji's blessings a bridge of floating rocks is constructed in order to enable Ram and his armies to attack Lanka, killing Ravan's huge brother, Khumbakaran; Laxman, who is the reincarnation of Sheshnag, kills Ravan's mighty son, Meghnath, without knowing that in a previous birth, he was Meghnath's wife, Subadhra's father; an angered Ravan mortally wounds Laxman, but Bajrangbali brings forth the Sanjeevani herb, along with the entire mountain, and Laxman gets a second life. Ten-headed Ravan is killed with Vibhison's (Ravan's estranged brother) assistance. Ramji then asks Sitaji to go through a Agni Parikhsha to ensure her purity, and that done they return home to Ayodhya. This is where Bajrangbali's body will be associated with Vermilion (Sindoor); Sitaji will find that his appetite is insatiable, and that Ramji cannot stay away from him too long. Tragic events will propel Ramji to expel a pregnant Sitaji from his kingdom forcing her to live in Sage Valmiki's Ashram where she will give birth to twins, Luv and Kush. Watch what happens when years later circumstances compel Ramji to take up arms against his devotee Bajrangbali himself. | <urn:uuid:38af946a-dbf2-403d-be73-a8b186598ca3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.moviebuff.com/bajrang-bali | 2023-10-03T13:08:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.975473 | 625 |
In July 2019 we published our inaugural blog post titled “The Next Phase in Cyber Insurance.” At that time, the lost laptops and basic malware incidents of earlier years had morphed into complex situations involving destruction and business interruption. That article shined a spotlight on an increasingly complex landscape that the existing approaches were ill equipped to handle. We introduced the MOXFIVE Technical Advisor concept: a role that is positioned to deliver better outcomes to clients and carriers alike.
Fast forward two years; MOXFIVE is deeply engaged in the proverbial trench. Our Technical Advisors have provided a steady voice of experience. As we expanded into incident coordination and business recovery, we and our partners’ engineering teams have helped hundreds of clients get back on their feet quickly.
Reflecting on the road behind us, we humbly offer the following observations and recommendations.
The following technical capabilities are critically important to prevention, detection, and failing that, to enact a swift response. If you only take away one thing from this article – implement these capabilities starting today. These represent the minimum pillars necessary for an effective security capability; learn from our clients’ pain.
“I need as many people as I can get engaged right now!” exclaimed the senior executive on the first day of the incident response effort. While it is an understandable reaction to a crisis, more people involved early on can be counterproductive and delay recovery. Rather than focus on more, it is vitally important to accomplish the following at the outset of the response effort – before scaling up the number of doers executing the work.
Once lanes are defined, additional resources can be added to turbocharge some workstreams. But not all processes benefit from more people. For example, if you are only able to restore one virtual system image from backup per hour, adding 10 more people to that workstream won’t make it go faster.
Even still, sometimes one may be tempted to add additional people, regardless of a real need, to improve the optics of the situation. While it may feel good in the short term, I have seen this approach degrade teams by creating more (unnecessary) meetings and increased coordination challenges. This increases risk when multiple, well-intentioned people are trying to do their part but lack clearly defined lanes and coordination. For example, if two engineers independently start restoring servers from backups and causing IP address collisions, this will cause more trouble as other efforts will need to stop to troubleshoot unusual errors that stem from this avoidable mistake.
There is also a cost component to consider. Insurance carriers are increasingly scrutinizing recovery costs, so if you plan on filing a claim, keep in mind that the reasonableness of costs-versus-impact will be reviewed as part of their processing the claim.
While a neurologist may be an extremely capable physician in their field, when you have a heart condition, you need the expertise and experience of a cardiologist. In the field of incident response, when you need to make decisions about how to proceed with investigation and recovery, you need a Technical Advisor.
Back in 2019, we said that a Technical Advisor is “best suited to identify possible investigative rabbit holes, inefficient business recovery activities, or potential technical items / tasks that may not be aligned with the policy coverage.” Looking back two years later, we’ve helped many clients avoid these sand traps.
For example, several clients initially planned to reimage large numbers of systems affected by ransomware. After assessing those situations in collaboration with the investigative teams, we successfully executed containment plans that avoided the large time and financial costs of massive reimaging projects. A combination of EDR tooling to block known and unknown malware and some (automated, scripted) elbow grease to decrypt and clean up systems en masse often does the trick.
Many voices are heard around the table during an incident response situation. Find advisors that have extensive experience in incident response within their domains of expertise: legal, investigative, recovery, communications. It’s best to establish these relationships before you need them. You’ll sleep easier knowing that you have someone to call.
MOXFIVE provides the clarity and peace of mind needed for attack victims during the incident response process. Our platform approach enables victims of attacks to work with a Technical Advisor who provides the expertise and guidance needed in a time of crisis, and facilitates the delivery of all technical needs required, consistently and efficiently.Learn More

It's hard to believe the kiddo's will be heading back to school in just a couple of short weeks. Yikes!
Today, we skipped out of my little craft nook here in the house and headed out to the mall with both my girls. My son has been enjoying Tiger Cub Scout Camp this past week with his Dad. So it was nice to take the girls and get out for a while.
The Little League World Series is coming up next week, and if you live in Williamsport, PA or around the area then you understand what a big deal it is! Bella and her girlscout troop are marching in the parade next week. We had to get a white t-shirt and tan shorts for the march.
Of course, both Girls found these glittery adorable shoes at Target today. Man, I wish they made glittery shoes like this for us big girls.
Bella even opted for a cute little striped plaid skirt for school, and Bug was happy with a pair of Dora sneakers to add to her shoe collection.
Next week, I'll have to take the boy out for shoes too and shopping too.
But until then, it's time to get back to crafting!
See you all tomorrow, and don't forget about our online party from 7-9pm eastern time on my fan page at www.facebook.com/mrschadt!

Salmon species and fishing in the distant past
In this presentation Camilla Speller will discuss some of her research identifying salmon bones from ancient villages. Understanding which salmon species were harvested in which places can help us to document Indigenous fishing strategies over time as well to understand how salmon populations have been impacted by colonial fisheries, development and climate change.
Presenter: Camilla Speller is the Director of the Lab of Archaeology at UBC. She is a bioarchaeologist who uses molecular methods to identify archaeological animal bones. Camilla has been working with the Musqueam Archaeology Department on a number of projects. She hopes to learn more about Musqueam’s fishing strategies past and present, and if and how the molecular methods she uses can help Musqueam in the management of Pacific salmon today.

PALO by aimée&mia is the project of Noëmie Aimée Laflamme and Shannel Mia Laflamme, two sisters of Ecuadorian and Canadian origins living in Montreal, Canada. Together, they created a range of all natural products revolving around the Palo Santo essential oil. We love that their products are made in Montreal, with Palo Santo exclusively sourced from Ecuador. PALO is proud to guarantee that 100% of their wood is sustainably sourced from Ecuador by a certified government association that respects forestry standards and protects the environment.
