An Inside Job
"The clouds above us join and separate
The breeze in the courtyard leaves and returns
Life is like that, so why not relax?
Who can stop us from celebrating?"
Perhaps you have spent the majority of your life believing that something out in the world will make you happy - that if you just had the right amount of money, the perfect relationship or the fulfilling job - you would be eternally happy and your life would have the meaning you think it should. Yet you may have noticed that, when you do get what you want, the satisfaction you experience is temporary at best, and it isn't long before the mind (the voice in your head), once again begins to look for something 'out there' to ease it's feeling of fear and insecurity.
Despite the fact that we have been told by every spiritual teacher and philosopher since the beginning of time that the fulfillment we long for can only be found within us, we can still find ourselves falling for the illusion that there is something/someone 'out there' who will do the trick. We hold out the hope that the next 'big thing' in our lives will bring the long-awaited happiness we long for, despite being shown again and again, that nothing in the world will give us the peace and flow we desire. If you truly know this, why not just save yourself from this continual frustration, and drop the illusion once and for all?
Why not begin, right now, to focus on the only place where you can find the treasure of joy that you so desperately long for; in the space within you? Why not come home to the present moment, here and now, and re-discover the peace and contentment that you have spent your whole life looking for? When you notice that you are searching for something out in the world; a relationship, a possession or any experience to make you feel more complete and fulfilled, take a refreshing breath and ask yourself, "Here and Now, is there anything lacking?" Look for yourself and see that, in this moment, there is nothing missing or out of place. See for yourself that your own fulfillment is an inside job, on this breath, in this moment, Now... | <urn:uuid:100a67ca-b598-43b9-bc38-947dd9efe82c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.taotribe.com/single-post/2018/09/24/an-inside-job | 2023-10-03T14:02:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.955967 | 452 |
constitutional law in order to prepare for the legal fight against targeting.
Prior to being targeted, Jack climbed the Seven Summits, which is the highest mountain on each of the seven continents, in just three-and-one-half years, summiting each on his first attempt. He joined an elite group of about 200 climbers in the world to accomplish this feat. During the record, Jack discovered that, according to all the cartographers and atlas makers, including National Geographic, all the other climbers climbed the wrong mountain on the continent of Australia/Oceania. Jack then climbed the correct mountain, making Jack the first person in the world to climb the correct Seven Summits, changing world climbing history. Months after setting this record, the targeting to Jack began. | <urn:uuid:3a5799cb-d186-4a3d-8f18-e6ae5fd15654> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.targetedamerica.com/our-team.html | 2023-10-03T14:47:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.949809 | 159 |

The Disability Benefit is available to CPP contributors who are under the age of 65, and have a "severe and prolonged" mental or physical disability, which makes them unable to work at any job on a regular basis. A monthly benefit may also be available to their dependent children.
You can estimate the Disability Benefit available to you by referring to your Statement of Contributions, which is accessible online via Service Canada. You can also request that the statement be mailed to you. See also the information on the Child Rearing Drop-out Provision, which could help you meet the contributory requirements for a disability pension.
Your CPP disability benefit will automatically be changed to a CPP retirement pension when you turn 65. You cannot receive both a CPP retirement pension and a CPP disability benefit at the same time. If you are under 65, have been receiving a CPP retirement pension for less than 15 months, and you are eligible for the disability benefit, you can request to have your retirement pension replaced by a disability benefit. See the Service Canada Disability Benefit page for more information.
The children's benefit may be payable for a child of a disabled contributor. The April to June 2023 children's benefit is a maximum monthly payment of $281.72. See below for links to further information, including current rates.
Self-employed and filing a tax return more than 4 years late? This affects CPP.

This paper provides an overview of a collection of works related to sport and Christianity from historical perspectives. After a brief general historiographical introduction, the material connected to the burgeoning field of sport and religion is summarized. In particular, it is noted that the works concentrate on diverse geographic locations and different time periods. The investigations are not limited to a narrow definition of Christianity, but encompass a wide range of denominations, related philosophies, and viewpoints. In terms of variety, it is noted that different methodological and theoretical approaches are adopted, and, given the existing state of play, it is clear that there is still much to be uncovered, documented, and written about when it comes to the enduring topic of sport and Christianity. The conclusion is that any research agenda which emerges from observations on historical perspectives concerning the relationship of sport with aspects of Christianity will continue to resonate and add value to wider understandings of sport, culture, and the human condition. | <urn:uuid:c281fbbf-4b0c-4890-b32e-1ae33601ea0a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.1201/9780429354359-1/sport-christianity-historical-perspectives-hugh-mcleod-nils-martinius-justvik-rob-hess?context=ubx&refId=ee7c5dc1-4b21-48f8-bc07-b38d34335b12 | 2023-10-03T15:25:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.935959 | 190 |
A word processing program could in theory have a wide range of interface specifications—those compatible with Windows, Microsoft Disk Operating System, Apple, International Business Machines System/370, Digital Equipment Corp Vax, UNIX, or even a nonexistent operating system which could be developed in the future by the programmer writing the word processing program. Among the most rigid functional constraints on a computer program are the interface specifications which permit the program to interoperate with an existing computer system. With the issuance of Apple v. Franklin, Whelan v. Jaslow, and Plains Cotton, the first question of the interoperability debate, the protectability of interface specifications, moved to center stage. The Business Software Alliance, which included companies such as Microsoft, Lotus, and WordPerfect, launched a high visibility campaign to stop piracy abroad. The team of Plains Cotton programmers subsequently joined Goodpasture, where they developed a cotton growing and marketing program which could run on personal computers. | <urn:uuid:391f8203-56ac-489b-91ae-124d8562f1b1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/mono/10.4324/9780429046841-3/unprotectability-interface-specifications-jonathan-band-masanobu-katoh?context=ubx&refId=85603078-b1c7-47a9-991a-2451331bc300 | 2023-10-03T14:20:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.915646 | 194 |
Techs Missing Badly
from the recovery-delayed dept
We don’t put much stock (pun not intended) in what equity analysts have to say, so the idea that a bunch of big tech names all missed their earnings estimates and dampened expectations going forward isn’t that exciting. However, it does suggest that for all the talk about how tech was “back,” some of it may be a bit of wishful thinking, eagerly hoping to bring back bubble era stock madness. We have no clue if these misses from Intel, Yahoo and IBM really indicate much of anything about the real state of the tech world (mostly, we’d say they indicate very little about it), but it does show that some people somewhere (whether in these companies or on Wall Street) were a little too eager to believe that the boom days were coming back so quickly. Remember after the last bubble burst, everyone was hoping for a “soft landing?” Well, now maybe we have a softer recovery to look forward to as well. | <urn:uuid:239c7480-6625-4f96-93e3-b7761510f64c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.techdirt.com/2006/01/17/techs-missing-badly/ | 2023-10-03T13:25:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.981195 | 217 |

Adaptive Risk Aware Response Mechanism for MANET Routing Attacks
Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET) have been highly vulnerable to attacks due to the dynamic nature of its network infrastructure. Among these attacks, routing attacks have received considerable attention since it could cause the most devastating damage to MANET. Even though there are several intrusions response techniques to mitigate such critical attacks, existing solutions typically attempt to isolate malicious nodes based on binary or naive fuzzy response decisions. However, binary responses may result in the unexpected network partition, causing additional damages to the network infrastructure, and naive fuzzy responses could lead to uncertainty in countering routing attacks in MANET. | <urn:uuid:2b1b1de9-cb15-49d2-b265-73d4cc931983> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.techrepublic.com/resource-library/whitepapers/adaptive-risk-aware-response-mechanism-for-manet-routing-attacks/ | 2023-10-03T15:33:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.947077 | 129 |

When is it going to cease?
The descent into hell or the return to earth of cryptocurrencies sadly continues for a lot of buyers who proceed to see the worth of their portfolio soften.
Bitcoin, the most well-liked digital forex, was down nearly 10% to $20,737.24 previously 24 hours, in keeping with knowledge from CoinGecko.
The fall is sort of 34% within the final 7 days. Prices are actually at their lowest since December 2020.
Given the overall downward pattern and the very volatility that characterizes the crypto business, it’s potential that costs will sink below the psychological threshold of $20,000 within the subsequent few hours.
In eight months, the worth of Bitcoin has fallen by roughly 70% in comparison with an all-time excessive of $69,044.77 reached on November 10. The solely excellent news for the digital forex is that it alone nonetheless accounts for 43.069% of the whole crypto market valuation.
The valuation of the market is dependent upon the evolution of Bitcoin. It is subsequently no shock that the market which weighed simply over $3 trillion originally of November misplaced greater than $2 trillion within the Bitcoin crash.
The crypto market was solely price $926 billion on the time of this writing, in keeping with CoinGecko.

The causes for the crash are the identical: fears of recession are pushing buyers to liquidate dangerous belongings. Cryptocurrencies and tech teams are thought of as such. And as consultants anticipate an aggressive price hike by the Federal Reserve to combat inflation, buyers are choosing warning whereas ready to see how issues unfold.
In addition, two large scandals have chilled buyers.
The first is the sudden collapse of sister tokens UST and Luna, regardless of their founders promising that their expertise was strong and viable.
The second scandal is the choice by crypto lender Celsius Network to freeze withdrawals and different transactions from its platform.
“The current bear market is nos entering a phase aligned with the deepest and darkest phases of previous bears,” strategists at Glassnode wrote in a word. “The market, on average, is barely above its cost basis, and even long-term holders are now being purged from the holder base.”
Ether, a local token of the Ethereum platform, fell greater than 12.5% to $1,079.58 Over the final 7 days, Ether, the second cryptocurrency by market worth, has plummeted by 40.6%.
The fall is equally sturdy for the meme cash like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. Dogecoin has misplaced 36.4% of its worth over the past 7 days and Shiba Inu 28%.
It can also be the stampede for the tokens of decentralized finance initiatives, or DeFi, supposed to switch conventional finance. Cardano, Solana, Polkadot, Avalanche cash are all down between 23% and 40% previously seven days. | <urn:uuid:42297eb2-2500-4cb7-9908-f2b61e93ef6f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.techyops.com/technology/bitcoin-drops-to-20000-as-crypto-crash-continues/ | 2023-10-03T15:01:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.958646 | 623 |
In this blog post, Tembo will inform readers that your property taxes should not have to go through the roof because of your municipality being cash strapped from COVID-19.
That’s because the Government of Ontario and the Federal Government have come to an agreement on the transfer of over $4 billion dollars in money for local government and transit agencies. We’re all aware of the impacts of COVID-19 on our towns and cities and their financial bottom lines. The money that we’ve received from the federal government will help local governments maintain the critical services people rely on every day, including public transit, over the next six to eight months. Details on specific allocations will be provided in the coming weeks. This funding is part of the province’s made-in-Ontario plan for renewal, growth and economic recovery.
Mr. Popular, Premier Doug Ford worked to secure this money with the Prime Minister, municipal partners, fellow Premiers, and Deputy Prime Minister Freeland to reach this historic agreement, which includes $777 million from the federal government and $1.22 billion from the province in support for municipalities. Ontario will continue to work closely with its municipal partners to ensure this funding provides the support they need to address budget shortfalls related to COVID-19. A big, crucial deal for public transit funding was also secured as part of the federal-provincial agreement. Up to $2 billion will be shared equally between Ontario and the federal government. Transit operators that have seen steep declines in revenues will receive the support they need to help address the financial impacts of COVID-19 and continue their operations in a safe manner.
If you hear from your local Councillor, Mayor, or even a friend or family member that property taxes will be going up, up, and up because of COVID, tell them about the Safe Restart Agreement, as this deal is being called. The Safe Restart Agreement represents over $19 billion of your hard earned tax dollars from Ottawa for local government across our country. This isn’t the first dollop of money to local government, Ontario has invested about $350 million to support municipalities and social service providers such as shelters and food banks, as well as individuals receiving social assistance and those who are ineligible to receive federal support. Ontario has also invested billions to support the health system, build new schools, and cut and delay taxes for businesses, consumers, and individuals. | <urn:uuid:3d57d956-ae24-4e6e-9d2a-9a1ffbba6df6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.tembofinancial.com/2020/07/28/your-property-taxes-should-not-have-to-soar/ | 2023-10-03T15:19:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.963927 | 495 |

Topic of the night:
Revolution From The Kitchen
Srividhya Ganapathy (Co-chairperson of CRIB Foundation/Partner of law firm Muhendaran Sri) and Lina Tan (Founder of Red Communications, Red Films, 3R Media and Suatukala)
With the coming election, Nowhere Kitchen #08 takes inspiration from the women of the French Revolution of 1789.
As new ideas of individual rights, class and education percolated into society, a new breed of women were born - the salonnieres.
Evening gatherings hosted by them, provided an indirect platform beyond their household responsibilities; excerpting indirect influence in the world of politics and culture.
With that, NK08 invites you to a chatty evening of the re-imagination of (leftover) food, contemporary society and what we all can do to make Earth a better place to live in.
Vive la révolution... de la cuisine!

If you love the outdoors – and most people looking at Davie FL homes for sale do – you’ll want to check out the Everglades Day Safari. It’s fun for the whole family, and it ranks No. 1 on TripAdvisor for outdoor activities in Davie. In fact, it has a 5 out of 5 rating on TripAdvisor, based on about 300 reviews!
The Everglades Day Safari is Eco-Certified
If you’re concerned about boatloads of visitors ruining the everglades, never fear. The Everglades Day Safari is a Florida Society for Ethical Ecotourism (Florida SEE) Gold Certified Ecotour Operator. This certification isn’t easy to come by. The Safari hosted two different Florida SEE Assessors who hitched a ride on the full day safari. The Gold status indicates that the Safari operators go far above what an ecotour company could be expected to do to protect the environment and wildlife.
You can start your tour from several hotels around the Fort Lauderdale area. But, residents of Davie just need to go to the Flamingo Gardens to be transported to the everglades.
The Full-Day Safari
The full-day Everglades Day Safari runs from approximately 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It’s a full day of fun and adventure, with a good bit of education thrown in, too.
A well-educated and highly-trained naturalist will guide you during the tour. You’ll learn a lot about the everglades, and the birds and animals that inhabit it. Each tour includes transportation to the everglades and an expansive lunch. Here’s what you’ll see during the day:
- A Nature Walk: You’ll take a leisurely stroll into the cypress swamp forests that are home to owls, woodpeckers, and raccoons. Beautiful orchids, ferns and vines decorate a landscape that you won’t see anywhere else.
- A Boat Cruise: The hour you spend on the boat will fly by as you tour the Everglads National Park’s “10,000 Islands.”
- A Southern Lunch: Served in the town of Everglades City, you’ll be able to sample their wonderful seafood. If that’s not your preference, you can also choose a veggie wrap, chicken sandwich or a good old hamburger.
- A Wildlife Drive: You’ll be amazed at the open savannahs of the 720,000 acre National Preserve in the Everglades.
- An Airboat Ride: You’ll float on air above the “River of Grass” in the National Park. You’ll search for alligators and the many birds that inhabit the area.
The Half-Day Safari
Captain Bob’s Excellent Adventure is a half-day tour that includes an airboat ride in the River of Grass and a Gator Show that brings you safely up close to Florida’s famous alligators. The Excellent Adventure runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

I am going to keep it simple:
Penquin skeletons still in closet
May I say I have been to thousands of sporting events and yes this was the toughest ticket I have ever seen. Hundreds of people draped the Verizon Center with 1 or 2 fingers in the air. My only comment for on of the worst performances ever by a home team in game 7, is that Boudreau should have given Varlamov a rest in Game 3 or 4. The kid was worn out.. The Caps were not ready to play.

Happy 2021! I’m stepping into this new year filled with inspiration and enthusiasm to explore and share my plant journey with you all. That is a big part of my goals for this shiny new year so look for new classes posted on my website coming up this spring. I’m a bit of a dork when it comes to exploring plants, and this time of year I am so drawn to learning about all the different coniferous trees that are in the park near our home. After learning about all the benefits of the needles and resin that these trees produce and also adoring the aroma, I have taken to carrying a jar around with me anytime I find myself out walking in the woods to collect the little nuggets of resin. I also keep an eye out for fallen branches of pines, spruces and firs. If you are walking through a coniferous forest, many of the trees will shed a few small branches, perfect for forest floor foraging. Winter is a great time to gather the resin, and I look for resin that is no longer gooey, that has turned brittle and crystalized, sort of like peanut brittle might be. I use my fingers to break off these nubs of resin and if it doesn’t willingly come free from the tree I leave it be rather than gouging it out with a knife. I prefer the gentle approach and the tree is still using the resin to protect itself from infestation. A new thing I learned in preparing for this newsletter is that the resin and sap of the trees are totally different elements. I had thought that the resin was just dried sap, but this isn’t so. The sap carries nutrients from roots to branches throughout the tree, but the resin is a separate compound that is thicker and stickier and functions somewhat like a band-aid, being secreted from the tree where branches have been cut or broken or where it has been eaten by birds or insects. There are always new things to learn!
"Ever eat a pine tree? Many parts are edible." -Euell Gibbons
For those of us who grew up in the 1970's this may bring a smile to your face remembering the Grape Nuts commercials with naturalist and wild edibles expert Euell Gibbons talking about what plants are edible. There are so many good parodies of this commercial on YouTube, and the concept of eating a pine tree has gotten lots of chuckles over the years, but all laughing aside, you can actually eat some parts of the pine tree. There is a 500-year old legend about a French explorer in Canada whose crew was gravely ill with scurvy, a vitamin C deficiency. They were assisted by a tribal chieftain named Donacona who brewed the explorers pine needle tea, which revived them so they could continue their travels. There have been many scientific studies on the active compounds found in pine needs, and they are loaded with flavonols and bioflavonoids. The scent of pine has been found to be soothing for the mind, and just the thought of walking through a coniferous forest can bring some peace.
So, what are conifers and how are they different from evergreen trees and pine trees? Conifers are a group of plants that produce cones, hence the name CONifer. Pines, spruces, firs and cedars are all conifers, as they all produce a cone, although not all of the cones produced are the classic pine cone we tend to think of. Juniper berries of the Eastern Red Cedar, Juniperus virginiana, and the little nubs produced by arbovitae, the Eastern White Cedar, Thuja occidentalis are also considered to be cones. There are more than 600 species of conifers worldwide and in Minnesota we have about 10 different species. Conifers are important to grow as they are great carbon sinks. The photosynthesis removes carbon from the atmosphere and they can store immense amounts of carbon for hundreds of years in their large trunks. They also provide food and shelter for a variety of wildlife. Not all conifers are evergreens, and if you want to learn more about the difference between pines, spruces, firs, cedars, and evergreens The Spruce has a good resource page for this. https://www.thespruce.com/difference-between-evergreens-and-conifers-2131029. I would recommend having a few good tree books particular to the areas that you frequent, and also check the web for information provided by the DNR. 'The Botanical Safety Handbook' gives Pinus strobus, the Eastern White Pine, the highest safety rating, so that is my go to conifer when it comes to bringing it into my kitchen. I know that 'forest bathing' can sound a lot less appealing in the winter, but getting to know the different types of conifers that grow in our area can be a fun challenge and make outdoor walks in the woods so much more pleasant. And now, I am going to encourage you to get all 'Euell Gibbons' out there and taste the needles of the trees you encounter. Please do use a good tree guide so that you can identify what you are trying, but the main shrub you would avoid is the Yew, Taxus spp. which is mainly grown as an ornamental shrub in this area. Pay attention to how many needles are in a a bundle on each branch. There are single needle, clustered needle and scaly needled conifers. I have a lot of red and white pines near me, and an easy way to identify them is that red pine has two needles in each bunch and the white pine has 5 (think 5 letters in the word 'white' to help remember). I am by no means a tree expert but I do so love and admire them and am making it my person mission to get to know them all better and there is so much to learn! So, it's that time of year when we like to bring a pine tree into our homes....the smell brings up so many memories, and is found to be uplifting and invigorating! Pine essential oil is found to be antimicrobial so it's an added bonus to have a celebratory tree inside in a season when colds and flus are prevalent. Does this mean you could make a tea with your Christmas tree? Sure...but only if you know where and how the tree was grown and if it has been sprayed with any chemical to preserve it. I prefer to go out to trim trees in my own yard or in the woods near my home to gather branches for my recipes. The best time of year to gather branches from any tree is when the weather is cold when there are no insects that may attack a fresh cut of a tree. I prune any branches that are in a congested area of a tree or any branches interfering with each other. Once gathered, I use fresh pine needles to flavor vinegar, honey, sugars, spirits or syrup and I dry a good amount for having on hand to make tea. Here are some simple recipes to get you started enjoying the flavor and health benefits of conifers.
Three Trees Shortbread (Pine, Maple, and Black Walnut) Celebrate the flavors from some trees that live in our world. For the pine needles, taste and explore some pine trees that are near you. I love the white pine for it’s slightly citrus-y gentle flavor and soft needles. If you don’t have a source for black walnuts you can sub pecans or English walnuts. Makes about 6 dozen small slice and bake cookies, or 2 dozen roll and cut cookies 8 ounces unsalted butter, softened ½ cup Maple Sugar 2 Tablespoons minced pine needles (try white pine, red pine, or Norway Spruce) ¾ teaspoon sea salt ¼ cup finely chopped black walnuts 2 cups all purpose flour
Powdered sugar for garnish, optional In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment cream the butter with the maple sugar, pine needles, salt and black walnuts until smooth. Mix in the flour until it forms a cohesive dough. Shape the dough into three 6-inch logs and wrap in parchment paper or wax paper and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight. If you are planning to do cut-out cookies, press dough into two discs and wrap and chill. When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Sliced the logs into 24 slices each and arrange the cookies on a baking sheet. Alternatively, roll the dough discs to ¼” thickness and cut into desired shapes and arrange on baking sheets. Bake cookies for 11-13 minutes until edges begin to brown. Cool cookies on sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Spruce Tip Oxymel
An oxymel is a folk medicine made with apple cider vinegar, raw honey and plant material of some sort. To make an immune boosting elixir, gather spruce tips in early spring, pack into a jar and cover with apple cider vinegar. Let steep for two weeks, shaking gently once or twice a day, and strain after two weeks. Measure the amount of liquid and add an equal amount of honey and mix. Keep stored in the refrigerator, and take one or two teaspoons daily during cold and flu season.
Soaking in a Pine Forest Bath Salts
I like to make an Epsom salt bath to soak in during the cold winter months. I make jars of this pretty and aromatic blend for friends for holiday gifts.
2 cups Epsom salts
1 cup pine, spruce or fir needles, cut into small pieces
5 drops pine, spruce or fir essential oil, if desired
Mix the needles into the Epsom salts and blend in a blender or food processor. Add essential oil if you want to boost the aroma. Store in an airtight jar, and add ¼-1/2 cup to a nice warm bath. You can also use a muslin bag to steep as a tea, to eliminate having little bits of pine needle to clean out of your tub.
Pine Needle and Rose Hip Tea It’s a great idea to boost your vitamin C intake in the winter months and if you think outside the citrus family, pine needles and rose hips are wonderful sources. This tea can also make a lovely drink syrup to stir into cocktails. Makes 2 cups
2 cups boiling water
1 Tablespoon pine needles
1 Tablespoon rose hips
Honey, to taste
Place pine needles and rose hips in a tea pot and pour the boiling water over and cover. Let the tea steep for about 10-15 minutes. Strain into tea cups and sweeten with a little honey if you like, to taste. If you are feeling congested, inhale the steam from your tea while you enjoy it. Simmering the needles and rose hips in the water will make a stronger, more 'medicinal' decoction, but will also make a more tannic, astringent flavor. You can make a syrup with this strong decoction for drinks, but adding an equal amount of sugar or honey to the tea. Store in the refrigerator and add to cocktails or fizzy water over ice.
Conifers are anti-microbial and the needles and resin contain this quality. I like to make a salve with the resin and I use it for skin wounds, slivers and eczema. The resin helps to increase blood flow to the area when applied which can get things moving to heal the tissue and sometimes brings about a little mild inflammation to bring about healing. It is also great for removing splinters because of this activity. It’s a soothing and warming salve which makes it nice for soothing sore muscles.
Next time you are walking in the woods get up close and personal with some conifers and look for areas where branches have been cut or where there are some openings in it's bark. Some of the resin may still be gooey, and will make your hands really sticky and end up inside your winter gloves so it is neater to gather the hardened resin chunks from the tree. The sticky stuff will work great, but it will just be messier. To clean the sticky residue off of hands, just rub them with coconut oil and wipe off with a towel. This works much better than soap and water! When gathering the resin, make sure to give it a sniff to appreciate the beautiful aroma and also to make sure it smells nice. I have occasionally found conifer resin that smells kind of like vomit, so want to avoid anything to spoil the aroma of your salve. I just can't get enough of sticking my nose into my jar of collected resin for a deep inhale of the smell of the forest!
Pine Resin Salve Making an herbal salve isn't terribly difficult and is a great way to make a sticky resin more 'user friendly'. As with any herbal salve the first step, once the plant material is gathered, is to infuse a neutral oil with the material. Because of the nature of the resin, I used heat to melt the resin and infuse the oil so I don't need to mess with a mortar and pestle. I like to use a locally produced sunflower seed oil from Smude's, which is a family owned company here in Minnesota, but you can certainly use jojoba oil, or olive oil or another high quality neutral oil that isn't prone to rancidity. The resin does act as a sort of preservative, which helps this salve last for quite some time. For this project it's great to have some dedicated vessels for wax melting, since it isn't the easiest to wash out of measuring utensils, graters and strainers. 3 Tablespoons (roughly) resin from white or red pines, spuce or fir 4 ounces sunflower oil 2-3 Tablespoons grated beeswax In a 4-ounce glass canning jar cover the resin chunks with the oil and cover the jar tightly with the lid. Simmer in a pot of water for about 1 hour to infuse the oil and melt the resin. You could also do this overnight in a crockpot if you like for a longer infusion. Strain the infused oil and melted resin through a mesh strainer into a glass measuring pitcher or jar and stir in the grated bees wax. Place this container in the pan with boiling water and heat, stirring, until the wax has melted. Check to see that the salve is the consistency that you would like by dripping a bit on a plate to see if it sets up as you like. If you want it to be thicker, add more wax little by little, testing as you go. It helps to consider if you will be using the salve during warmer months so may want to make sure it will hold up to being in a first aid kit in the summer. Pour the salve into small jars and allow to set up. Cover with lids and label. Store away from excess heat and light. This should last at least one year. If you have leftover resin that was strained out, you can use it for incense making or just add to pot pourri.
Extra Credit: I have also been enjoying making my own Bees Wrap to eliminate the use of plastic wrap in my home. I use the resin-infused oil and grated bees wax and iron it into cotton fabric using parchment paper and a towel to protect my iron and my ironing board. It works amazingly well for wrapping cheeses and bowls filled with leftovers and can be reused for quite a few months, simply wiping it off between uses. *Also a shout out to my husband Tom Thulen for taking the gorgeous photos for all of my newsletters. I couldn't do this without him!

“The subject of an artist’s life"

nina Granirer’s career as an artist has been built around the portrayal of humanity through figurative works. One can express relationships through the painting of bodies in movement and the juxtaposition of figures with the goal, among many, to explore individuals as equals or as subservient. None of her pieces might be viewed as more personal and controversy than her series exploring the biblical narrative concerning Eve and the resulting relationship between women and men.
Few artists can say that their work has been expressed in book form, much less a movie. But then not all have explored the position that women play in biblical literature.
In 1989 Pnina published a book called The Trials of Eve, based on the twelve panel work by the same name. The Trials of Eve explores, in visual and poetic form, the history of woman based on the biblical story recounted in many religions of Adam and Eve. The pictorial and verbal narrative, in the form of a three act play, describes Eve’s courtroom trial and subsequent tribulations. And while the narrative takes us through some very challenging emotions, the disturbing drama does end on a note of hope for the future relationship between men and women.
While it is may be easy for us today to feel superior about the relationship between the genders, fifty years ago, that relationship was vastly different. Women were just beginning to gain the equality they have today and to find their voice outside the home.
For Pnina to explore how Eve was portrayed through the eyes of the three main western religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) and how this translated into a women’s place in society, would have been, at the time, entirely bold. Consider her words, they “put (Eve) in a golden shrine as long as she is good and reads her script as written: the Mother and the Whore. It is all God’s will!”
There is much more to know about the art pieces presented in this book, and I would encourage you to follow this link to her website: http://pninagranirer.com/feminist_theology.html It explains the series through Pnina’s exploration of her own biblical experience and understanding. It is also an admission of the challenges it posed for her in the practice of her faith (Judaism).
Having grown up in a home where women’s rights were a focal issue, I can understand Pnina’s crisis not only in being a Jewish woman in that era but also in having religious faith in general.
Pnina’s journey and my childhood occurred at the same time and I certainly remember – through a child’s eyes – the sense of spiritual turmoil coursing through our shared religious and secular society of the day. Challenging the status quo was a controversial action; much of both the Jewish and Christian religious communities, and to this day the Muslim community, were controlled by oligarchic minded men who felt confident in their right to dictate the terms of people’s morality.
Although I did not know Pnina at the time, I was certainly well acquainted with many of the Vancouver women whose sheer strength of will changed the manner in which women were able to express their religious convictions; and men – some and I must stress not all – were forced to accept a new understanding of women in religion. Challenging the validity of that social order through art was brave and I am certain, daunting. Many highly intelligent women of the day contended for years with a maelstrom of spiritual frustration. I know this, because one gave birth to me.
One gets a sense of the artist’s courage from the following description of the panel “The Verdict”: “The Verdict portrays Eve being found guilty for all time, particularly by Christian theologians with their doctrine of the “Fall” and the woman’s culpability in it”. “In 418 A.D., a Church synod declared that death was not a necessity of nature, but rather a direct result of Eve’s disobedience.” Granirer’s Eve and her Adam are portrayed as marionettes, indicating that in her mind men and women are stock figures for humanity “race unimportant, sex unclear, easily manipulated.”
Through the years her perspective has changed, and society has changed along with it. Her focus is still on figurative work, but now her aim is to celebrate humanity. This is not to say that she has come to accept a women’s role in religion as defined by history. Indeed, it is to celebrate victory over the past oppressive social construct. Her most recent work, done in her 60’s is the Dancers Series.
THE DANCERS SERIES by Pnina Granirer
Dance is one of the oldest forms of human expression. Ever since humanity initiated the rituals that were to ensure its survival, people have swayed and moved to the rhythms of music, using their bodies to appease the gods and to express their joys and sorrows. And later, in dark and hidden caves, their marks on the stone walls became the earliest form of visual art.
The purpose of this series is to express the marriage of these two basic, non-verbal human activities, dance and painting, There is an additional element explored in these works: the long tradition of aesthetics, the need for beauty which is intrinsic to our humanity, as consistently expressed through millennia of artistic endeavour.
I am well aware of the current trends and norms in visual art, as well as of the fact that painting in general and figurative painting in particular are not very popular in Western Canada. However, the interest in the human form and expression is alive and well and I am one of its proponents. This series of works deals with the connection between the disciplines of painting and dance, reflecting my need for simplicity as I grow older.
I have learned that what really counts at the end of the day is not the attractions of new gadgets, technology and machines, but rather the human factor, family and friends. Thus I am returning to the basics, and to the most wonderful machine of all, the human body.
The human factor in dance is irreplaceable and no technological means can change this; dance is an art form that relies totally on muscle and bone, intelligence, perception and creativity. To celebrate the humanity of dance in my work I use painting, the simple, direct and human way of expression that goes back to our very beginnings.

PATNA: Trouble mounted for BJP as its main Bihar ally JD(U) on Saturday came out in support of LJP’s demands for undoing the Supreme Court’s “dilution” of the SC-ST atrocity law and removing Justice (retd) AK Goel as NGT chairperson. Sensing the rising resentment among Dalit voters in Bihar towards the BJP-led NDA, the Nitish Kumar-led JD(U) said the two demands put forth by Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan’s LJP are justified.
With LJP’s demands finding support among Dalit groups and they planning a nationwide protest on these issues planned on August 9, JD(U) is afraid of losing the support of Bihar’s Dalits, who form 16 per cent of the electorate.
“The demands are sensible and justified. If Dalits choose not to vote for NDA, what will happen to the alliance? The government is for the poor. Should we not be addressing their issues first?” asked JD(U) national general secretary KC Tyagi.
Reminding that the strict law was framed by “leaders such as Ram Vilas Paswan, Lalu Prasad Yadav, Sharad Yadav and others under the leadership of VP Singh,” Tyagi said it was “only natural” that changes in the law would evoke protests from leaders irrespective of political affiliation.
“Considering the still deplorable condition of Dalits and the rising atrocities against the across the country, this law needs to be further strengthened. The need of the hour is to make Dalits feel safe,” said senior JD(U) leader Ashok Chaudhary, a former education minister.
LJP has set the an August 9 deadline for the Narendra Modi-led central government to restore the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 to its original form and remove Justice (retd) AK Goel, one of the Supre Court judges who had passed the order, as chairperson of National Green Tribunal (NGT).
Sources said Bihar Chief Minister and JD(U) national president Nitish Kumar has been unhappy over “dilution” of the law by the apex court and that he has privately raised the issue with senior BJP leaders, including BJP chief Amit Shah during their meeting earlier this month. JD(U) leaders, however, did not specify if the party would support the August 9 protests.
- The SC, through a March 20 judgment, banned immediate arrest of a person accused of insulting or injuring a Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe member
- The ruling caused wide protests and the govt filed a review petition. But the SC rejected it saying its order was not an affront to Dalit rights
- The SC said the SC/ST law was sometimes misused and its ruling was meant to protect innocents from arbitrary arrests

The Fourth of July is a holiday for family and friends to enjoy the sunshine, pools, barbecues, and fireworks. Although the day is full of fun activities and delicious food, many of the festivities are not always safe for our furry, four-legged family members. Here are safety tips that will help your pet have a safe and sound Independence Day.
With the hustle and bustle of the day, it can be easy to make the mistake of leaving a plate unattended or dropping food that is unsafe for canine consumption. Indulging in barbeque is a classic Fourth of July tradition, but fatty and salty meats can cause gastrointestinal upset or even pancreatitis in some dogs. Meats to avoid include ham, ribs, bacon, sausage, pepperoni, fatty hamburger, and raw salmon. A better option for dogs is cooked, lean, poultry or fish.
Fruits make for healthy and tasty treats for dogs, however, several fruits can be dangerous and difficult to digest. Always keep dogs away from grapes (including raisins!), avocado, large amounts of cherries, and any fruit with a pit. An alternative to these fruits are berries, apples, mangoes, bananas and apricots. Always make sure the fruit is in small enough pieces to ensure the dog won’t choke.
Another important factor to consider throughout the day is that alcoholic beverages have the potential to poison pets, so never leave drinks unattended or within reach of pets. If dogs ingest alcohol, they can quickly become very intoxicated and weak.
When the day draws to a close and fireworks are set to begin, it is important to remember that pets do not associate the loud noises and flashing lights with celebration in the same way that people do. More pets end up in shelters on the Fourth of July than any other day of the year because the booming sounds associated with fireworks can cause anxiety and an instinctual reaction to escape. To avoid this, consider staying home to reassure pets, or if going out, make sure your dog is in a secure place where they can’t escape or hurt themselves. In the event that your dog gets scared and is able to escape, microchip identification will be helpful in locating and identifying your dog. | <urn:uuid:4aba19b5-2117-408a-aa71-534d7f7d9261> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.theboneadventure.com/fourth-of-july/ | 2023-10-03T13:23:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.950545 | 463 |
How and where you work can have a direct impact on your productivity.
The traditional eight-hour working day was introduced by Henry Ford in 1914, at a time when factory workforces were actually working 10 to 16 hours a day to meet explosive demand. By cutting his employees’ length of hours at work and doubling their pay, Ford actually doubled his profit margins within two years. These days, more than a century later, we have an evolved, creative economy that once again demands a similar shake up of the status quo – as author Tony Schwartz explains, “Manage your energy, not your time.” In practical terms what this means is rethinking how you work, when you work, what your most productive environment is, and with whom.
Sitting at a desk for an uninterrupted eight to 10 hour day is not productive for most people; few can maintain full attention for that amount of time. Our ultradian rhythm responds well to 90 to 120 minute sessions, so if you break your working day down in to chunks, you can treat each chunk as an opportunity to achieve a task.
In a well-designed, co-working, collaborative or flexible workspace you can choose where is best suited to maximise your productivity. In a busy office, the distractions are endless and it’s hard to find the quiet needed to focus. Hot desks and private meeting rooms are ideal for activities which require concentration without interruption.
Recognising when you’re at your most productive and having the freedom to choose when and where you work is both liberating for the individual and beneficial to the company. If you are able to work remotely then a flexible solution, such as membership of a co-working space where you can start your day at a time to suit you, with access the stakes are high and first impressions count, a high-specification meeting room with reliable technology and personal service will make you and your business stand out. Every time you meet a client, you are demonstrating the values of your business by choosing where you meet. If you are speaking with an investor or looking to secure a key client, would you like to do so in a busy coffee shop or somewhere that they can be greeted professionally and taken care of? Choose a place that reflects your values and your ambitions, a place which solidifies your reputation, rather than compromises it.

My husband and I split up last October. There was no infidelity, just a relationship that no longer worked. (for him) He didn’t want to be married to me anymore and had no problem being honest and telling me straight out. Although it was devastating to hear, I am grateful that he had enough respect for me to be honest and end it.
I decided that we would have the “perfect” divorce. We would remain friends and still do things as a family and all those wonderful scenarios that you dream up in your mind and absolutely none are based on reality.
When December hit last year, it was rough. It was the season of “Firsts” — first holidays alone, first school break with /without the kids alone, first Christmas alone, first New Years alone — an extremely difficult time for me.
My friends and family were amazing and rallied around me. They all had such great intentions and it seemed as if everyone had their own words of wisdom for me on how to cope during the holiday season while my kids were away.
Here are some of my favourites:
1. “Take this time for yourself and enjoy the peace and quiet”
This was from my best friend who packed up her entire family (including husband) and went to Mexico for 2 weeks. She had no idea what being alone felt like and how the peace and quiet was the worst part!
2. “Make a plan! Get a calendar and fill your time with interesting things. Find a play, a movie just write it down and do it “
This one was hilarious to me. All my friends were married and NO ONE was around over the holidays. As much as I wanted to explore and go and do – I was depressed and miserable. The last thing I wanted was to be out and see people actually enjoying the holidays.
3. “Go away alone – just do it!”
Only someone who has never, ever been divorced or single over the holidays would say such a thing. Who in their right mind would actually PAY to watch happy families vacation during school break? I was depressed and feeling sorry for myself so this was not even a consideration.
4. “Take a warm hot bath and get great books to help you fill your time”
I didn’t want to take a bath, I wanted my life back!!! I couldn’t focus on reading or doing anything in my state. I was just miserable!.
There were many, many more that I won’t bother sharing but suffice it to say that I had enough quotes, ideas, and direction to last me all vacation long.
In the end, I did get through the holidays last year. I was sad, I was angry and to be honest I didn’t listen to one piece of advice that was given me. I somehow just coped and got through the days when my kids were gone as best as I could. Some days I didn’t leave my bed – didn’t even get dressed. What I learnt was that I had to do what was right for me and I had to stop listening to everyone around me – no matter how good their intentions were.
I am now approaching Christmas Break for the second year. I would like to say that I am great and I am happy and life is amazing since my divorce. But the truth is that its not. Although I have gotten over the shock of it all – my life has dramatically changed. My family has changed, my finances have changed, the ease of my life has changed. Most of all, I miss being part of a family, I miss having someone to take care of me and I find it hard to be alone. I have gone on a couple of dates but frankly I’m just not that interested.
I am trying to be patient and kind to myself – its only been one year. If my husband had died – there would be no expectations on me to be a fully functioning person just yet.
So in the spirit of complete honesty I will tell you that I am DREADING the holidays again – I DO NOT WANT to hear anyone’s words of wisdom (unless they have actually been through a divorce) and I don’t want anyone’s input on all the things I should and should not do.
I am sad that my ex gets to take the kids away on a great vacation while I can’t. I am pissed that he has a girlfriend and she’s going with and I am super pissed that I have to share my kids.
I will however suck it up, and pretend that I am just fine for my children, family and friends.
But truthfully the Holidays are not an easy time, especially for a single Divorcee! | <urn:uuid:e21e6b08-cadf-4fa3-b3de-139f8c6fc6d4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.thedivorceangels.com/holidayseason/ | 2023-10-03T14:26:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.989901 | 996 |
50 quotes about telling others the truth.
Have you ever heard these lines in a movie? ''You can't handle the truth.'' ''I did this to protect you.'' How did you feel about the other person(s) not knowing the truth? Were you angry? Did you cry? Did you develop resentment for the person(s) who withheld the truth? Sometimes we can relate to the betrayal and heartbreak that these movies portray. It's as though our whole life is being played right before our eyes.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8 KJV
“If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.”
“When someone loves you, the way they talk about you is different. You feel safe and comfortable.”

Young immigrants to the United States on Monday celebrated the news that a Cuban-American who helped develop a popular immigration relief program for them will be the new head of that country’s Department of Homeland Security.
More than 700,000 young people in the United States benefit from this program, known as DACA for its acronym in English. The team of US President-elect Democrat Joe Biden announced Monday that Cuban-born Alejandro Mayorkas, who helped develop DACA, will be the first Hispanic and first immigrant to head the Department of Homeland Security.
“(Mayorkas) came to the United States as a refugee. His family left his country so that he could have better opportunities here, just like our families, ”said Martín Batalla, a Mexican who his parents took to the United States when he was seven years old. “I think he (Mayorkas) can feel identified with us.”
The immigration relief program, which took effect in 2012, temporarily suspended deportation and granted work permits to young people who had been illegally brought to the United States by family members as children.
President Donald Trump ended the program in 2017. Activists and immigrant youth battled that decision in court. The United States Supreme Court ruled in June 2020 that the Trump administration improperly terminated the program.

Top marketers from CoverGirl, L’Oréal and Zenyum on the secrets of cosmetic sales success
With brick-and-mortar retailers closed for business and masks the accessory du jour, cosmetics and personal care brands everywhere struggled to sell. But even while lipstick went out of style, beauty brands still managed to grow –thanks to digital innovation, a novel focus on specific product segments and new investments in commerce and CX. Future 50 inductee Aaron Ting of Zenyum and fellow industry experts explain how they made cosmetics cool during Covid.
Top cosmetics brands managed to make it – even as mask-wearing and restrictions on socialization abounded
In the early 2000s, Leonard Lauder, chairman of beauty behemoth Estée Lauder, coined the term ‘lipstick index’ in reference to the sustained sales of cosmetics – and especially lipstick – during financial downturns. In essence, the theory suggests that, historically, even when consumers’ spending power is dampened, they will still spend on modest luxuries like lipstick, fortifying the industry against market turmoil.
But in early 2020, as consumers the world over donned face masks, lockdown orders were implemented, and drugstores and department stores closed up shop, the cosmetics industry, like countless other sectors, was turned on its head. By the end of Q1, cosmetics sales were down 22% compared to 2019, according to market research firm NPD. Fragrance sales dropped by 13%. And things were only getting worse.
With consumers stuck at home – and covering their faces when they ventured outside – how did the world’s major cosmetics brands adapt? How did they sell beauty when fewer folks than ever were investing in their personal appearance?
Getting into specifics: clean beauty, skincare and eye cosmetics pick up the slack
While cosmetics sales on the whole have suffered, the impact across categories has been varied. With mouths hidden beneath masks, lipstick sales dropped significantly. But McKinsey data suggests that even in the first few months of the pandemic, sales of eyeshadow, mascara and other eye cosmetics skyrocketed by 150% while nail product sales rose by a whopping 218%. So, while the ‘lipstick index’ did not prove bulletproof, it’s clear that consumers still shelled out on products that allowed them to work within the constraints of mask-wearing and social distancing.
“Consumer trends in cosmetics, skincare and haircare have shifted throughout the course of the pandemic,” says Lex Bradshaw-Zanger, chief marketer at L’Oréal UK and Ireland. “For example, we saw increased interest in categories such as skincare, hair color and nail varnish during lockdowns.”
The brand, which leads the cosmetics industry in sales globally, also reported that dermocosmetics – an emerging category of products billed as beneficial for both appearance and the health of the skin – saw a sales lift of 2% in 2020 while other categories suffered. “At L’Oréal UK and Ireland,” says Bradshaw-Zanger, “we have remained agile in order to adapt to these trends and change the focus of our campaigns and media as needed.”
Other brands, like CoverGirl, have leaned into consumers’ growing demand for ‘clean beauty’ (it’s been reported that retailers like Sephora saw sales of products billed as ‘clean’ take off during the pandemic). In November of 2020, CoverGirl –which is among the largest brands to receive a Leaping Bunny seal for animal-friendly production practices from Cruelty Free International – introduced a new formulation of its beloved Lash Blast mascara. The product is vegan and free of parabens, talc, sulfates and formaldehyde. Smaller cult indie brands like Goop, Ilia, Youth to the People and Kjaer Weis are helping accelerate the shift to ‘clean’ and ‘natural’ beauty – which, according to Nielsen data, has been significantly outpacing the sale of products that aren’t marketed as such.
“Consumers today demand clean beauty and look to the brands they trust for healthy, natural product formulations,” says Stefano Curti, chief brands officer of consumer beauty at CoverGirl’s parent company Coty. “It’s our ambition is to create simpler, more sustainable products that meet the needs of socially and environmentally-conscious consumers.”
Tele-dentistry and other digital-first approaches gain steam
Zenyum, a Singapore-based DTC brand focused on teeth straightening and teeth whitening products, saw six of its seven major markets shut down for nearly half of 2020. Even so, the brand found innovative ways to evolve. “When fishermen can’t go to sea, they repair nets,” says the brand’s head of performance marketing and The Drum Future 50 inductee Aaron Ting.
Ting says that the brand homed in on operational and strategic improvements; it switched to a completely remote-first work culture and continued investing in building out its engineering, technology and product development teams. “We tried to see the opportunities in this difficult time and evolved the business,” Ting says. “Procedures like doing X-rays are essential to the safety of a good treatment, but can only be done when dentists are open. Many other parts of the consultation can now be done remotely though. With our app and tele-dentistry capabilities, we were able to ensure that our funnel keeps moving and our customers are ready once markets open.”
Other major brands focused on digitizing its marketing and customer experience efforts. “We now prioritize digital in our media mix, consistent with dominant consumer trends, especially for the key gen Z and millennial audiences,” says Curti. He points to a specific campaign by Marc Jacobs Fragrances, which hosted a fully-virtual event to launch a new product when it debuted its new scent Perfect in an online event in August, which attracted more than 1,700 consumers from 50 countries. Curti says the brand saw the limitations of the pandemic as a way “to connect with a much wider group of people on a global scale” through digital activations like these.
Others adopted similar tactics. Base Beauty, a New York-based creative agency that works primarily with cosmetics and wellness brands, put on its Virtual Beauty Events in May of 2020 with a selection of beauty influencers who shared tips, tricks and stories about various products on social media. The company was among the first to host live digital beauty events during the pandemic.
Meanwhile, Coty brands CoverGirl and Sally Hansen teamed with People Magazine to host a live beauty shopping event, which included streamed makeup tutorials, giveaways and exclusive offers. The event garnered some 100,000 views and drove record high click-through and engagement rates for both brands.
The e-commerce revolution is real
To cement the shift to remote and digital-first approaches, many brands invested more deeply in e-commerce – a channel that has already been swallowing up large portions of the retail market year-on-year.
Whereas cosmetics point-of-sale has traditionally been centered in drugstores and department stores, personal care purchases accounted for an impressive 7.39% of the total e-commerce market in the US in 2020. Cosmetics brands helped lead the charge on the shift to an e-commerce-first consumer goods market.
“Shifting our focus from in-store activations to e-commerce was key,” says Coty’s Curti. “The advantages of purchasing beauty online, such as the ability to compare price and availability and shop 24/7 with speedy home delivery, have outweighed the perceived barriers to purchase.” As one example of its efforts in the e-commerce arena, the brand launched a Spanish language pilot program on Amazon, which helped to drive over 70% of new households to Coty brands like CoverGirl and Sally Hansen.
L’Oréal notes similar success. The brand saw about 40% growth in its total online sales, and the business’ online sales now account for more than a quarter of the total. “Technology is reshaping the definition and experience of beauty, and at the same time, we’re seeing consumers make more informed purchasing decisions, which means the retail journey is being transformed,” Bradshaw-Zanger says. “This shift was accelerated by the pandemic.”
Another key trend accelerating the takeover of e-commerce is social commerce. Instagram’s shopping features are expanding seemingly day by day, cementing the platform’s status as a major player in the social commerce space. Increasingly, however, newer platforms like TikTok are integrating social commerce capabilities. Brands underneath the L’Oréal umbrella including Garnier and NYX Professional Makeup have recently started highlighting selected products for purchase on TikTok as part of a new commerce pilot on the platform. According to Bradshaw-Zanger, they are among the first international beauty brands to use the feature.
But for beauty and personal care brands, offering a convenient, seamless online shopping experience may not be enough to establish a competitive advantage. Supercharged by Amazon Prime’s free two-day shipping – and the growing cohort of online retailers offering same-day shipping and even same-day delivery –consumers now expect products to arrive at their doorstep in the blink of an eye. With cosmetics sales happening in digital shopping carts for the past year-plus, cosmetics brands were forced to optimize their supply chains to meet these demands.
Curti calls last-mile delivery “one of the hottest retail trends of the year”. He says Coty and its suite of brands partnered with delivery service startup GoPuff to launch its beauty category in August. By doing so, it was able to help get cosmetics products in consumers’ hands faster than ever. “The partnership brought the most iconic products from Coty brands CoverGirl, Rimmel and Sally Hansen to the platform, which delivers everyday essentials straight to your door in 30 minutes or less. Since our launch, nearly every major beauty brand has announced a similar partnership in response to consumers’ demand for instant, at-home beauty.”
What’s next: tapping into expanding Asian markets
As physical retailers open their doors and masks become secondary safety measures rather than enforced criteria for socializing and shopping, the cosmetics industry is poised for a major comeback. In fact, during a four-week period ending mid-April, market research firm IRI reported that lipstick sales reached $34.2m, representing a jump of more than 80% from the same period last year. So perhaps the ‘lipstick index’ is not failproof – but lipstick is assuredly en vogue once again. Anticipating similar trends across cosmetics segments, beauty and personal care brands are now strategizing their next moves.
Zenyum’s Ting is optimistic. “Self-improvement has risen to the top of [consumers’] personal agenda,” he says. “People took up new skills, new workout regimes and new beauty treatments.” He thinks that Zenyum’s offerings in particular may be more appealing than ever. “With the new trend of working from home and constant video conferences, people have become more aware of their look and their smile and are more willing to research, compare and invest time to get the smile they have been dreaming of.”
The company recently concluded a Series B funding round and aims to use this capital to accelerate expansion across Asia, diversify its product offerings and mature its tech stack so it can “be a true partner to dentists while building a category-defining company,” per Ting. And the brand may be especially well-positioned for growth as data suggests that the cosmetics and personal care market is growing in Asia – and in China in particular – faster than anywhere else. The Chinese cosmetics market is projected to reach more than $87bn by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 6% between 2021 and 2025.
CoverGirl and other Coty brands are also hoping to get a slice of Asia’s growing cosmetics pie. “If we look to the Asian market, where we saw the first signs of Covid-19 as well as the first easing of restrictions, as an indicator for what we might expect to see across the globe as the world bounces back, we can expect consumers returning to heavier makeup looks, including lipstick,” says Curti. He points out that last quarter, Coty saw cosmetics sales from its luxury brands soar in China. In particular, Gucci and Burberry cosmetic sales rose by 357% and 73%, respectively, compared to the previous year. The numbers suggest a rapidly-growing market – and new opportunities for brands in the region.
As for others, the next stage of growth will focus on appealing to new demographics. “With the rising middle class across [the Asia] region, and the increasing demand among the younger generation to want to look better and be a better version of themselves, the cosmetics sector is expected to grow exponentially in the coming years,” says Ting. “As shoppers are getting smarter and more tech-savvy, brands will need to put in more effort to stay competitive and build trust [and] loyalty among target audiences. Consumers these days are starting to expect products from brands beyond just functionality; they demand quality and safety.” | <urn:uuid:3571dc10-65be-4b38-b04c-6e6b68ba53b0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.thedrum.com/insight/2021/06/28/top-marketers-covergirl-l-or-al-and-zenyum-the-secrets-cosmetic-sales-success | 2023-10-03T12:55:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.958059 | 2,821 |
Writing your Last Will can be a great way to ensure that your assets are appropriately distributed. However, there are also drawbacks to doing it on your own.
Writing a Last Will and Testament is essential to planning for the future. It is possible to draft a Will without the help of a lawyer. But doing so requires knowledge of the law in your jurisdiction and careful consideration of the various legal options available.
What Is A Last Will & Testament?
A Last Will is a legal document outlining how you would like your belongings and assets to be distributed after death. It provides clarity and direction for how you want things handled, ensuring that your wishes are as followed as possible.
Your Last Will can include anything from the distribution of personal items to real estate or money. Additionally, it can name guardians for children and pets. You can specify an executor who will fulfill your wishes and provide instructions on burial arrangements.
Having a Last Will in place gives you peace of mind knowing that all of these details have been thought through and laid out before you leave this world.
Creating a Last Will also allows you to express gratitude towards any individuals or organizations who have been influential in your life.
Advantages Of Writing Your Last Will & Testament On Your Own
It is essential to recognize the advantages of creating this document for you to feel confident about it.
Creating your own Last Will and Testament allows you to control how assets are distributed upon death. An example includes tangible items such as property and money. It also consists of any donations or trust funds you may like set up for immediate family members or charities.
By writing your own Last Will and Testament, it is possible to avoid family disputes over inheritance and leave nothing up to chance.
Considerations Before Writing
Writing your own Last Will and Testament can be daunting, but you can do it with the correct information and planning. Before starting to write your Will, you should make several essential considerations.
The first is to assess your assets that may need to be divided upon death. These could include money, property, investments, or sentimental items. Knowing exactly what needs to go into the Will is essential for ensuring that all of these items are taken care of when the time comes.
Second, consider who will receive the assets listed in your Will. This includes deciding who inherits any money or property and considering guardianship for any minor children.
While this seems like a lot to consider, you must take your time writing your Will.
Step-By-Step Guide To Writing
By understanding the essential elements of a valid Will, you can ensure your wishes are followed when the time comes. This step-by-step guide is designed to help you get started in the process of writing your own Will and Testament.
Step 1: Gather All Of Your Essential Documents & Information
Before you begin drafting your Last Will and Testament, you’ll need to have all your essential documents and information in one place. This includes:
- Your Social Security Number.
- Your Assets and Property.
- Your Beneficiaries.
- Your Children’s Information.
- Any Named Executors.
Step 2: Choose An Executor
An executor is a person you choose to fulfill your wishes after you die. This person is responsible for managing your estate, paying debts and taxes, and distributing your assets according to your wishes. Be sure to choose someone reliable, trustworthy, and capable of handling the responsibility.
Step 3: Name Your Beneficiaries
Your beneficiaries are the people you want to receive your assets and property after your death. In your Will, you can name both primary beneficiaries and contingent beneficiaries. Primary beneficiaries get the assets first. Contingent beneficiaries will receive them if the primary beneficiaries cannot or do not want to accept them.
Step 4: Draft Your Will
Once you have gathered your essential documents and information and chosen an executor and beneficiaries, you can begin to draft your Will. Be sure to include all of the necessary information that you want to include in the document.
Step 5: Have Your Will Reviewed
After you have drafted your Will, it’s essential to have it reviewed by an attorney. An attorney can ensure that everything is in order and that the document is legally binding. A qualified lawyer will also help ensure that all legal requirements are met so there are no issues later when executing the Will.
Step 6: Sign & Witness Your Will
When writing a Last Will and Testament on your own, the sixth step is to sign and witness your Will. This is an essential part of legally validating the document. All adults signing a Last Will, including witnesses, must be of sound mind to ensure that all parties know what they are signing.
This means that none of them can be under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of signing. It also helps if each person has a basic understanding of the document’s contents before signing it.
Two adult witnesses must be present when you sign your Last Will for it to become legally binding. The witnesses should not be named as beneficiaries in the document; otherwise, their testimony will not count toward legal validation.
Step 7: Store Your Will In A Safe Place
When storing your Will, the best place is typically a safety deposit box at your local bank or with another secure organization. This ensures that only you have access and can keep it securely locked away from anyone else’s eyes.
Another option is to give a copy of the document to someone you trust, such as an attorney, family member, or friend who can act as executor of your estate when needed. Scan or photograph the document, making multiple copies available for future reference.
Once your Will is signed and witnessed, store it in a safe place. It’s vital to ensure that your executor and other loved ones know its location.
Potential Risks Of Writing A Last Will On Your Own
There are several risks associated with writing this document without seeking professional advice.
First, it could be difficult for you to ensure that the paper meets all of the requirements for it to be valid according to state law. Please meet these to ensure the document is valid and clear when passing on your estate or possessions.
Additionally, if mistakes are made in wording or dates, it could result in unintended consequences.
The consequences could be dire if you do not correctly write down your wishes in a legally valid document.
It is crucial to ensure that all necessary steps have been taken so that the court does not invalidate your wishes due to improper writing or incorrect information.
Without a valid Will, the distribution of your estate would default to state laws which may not reflect what you wish for you or your beneficiaries. Furthermore, with formal writing of the Will, there could be clarity over who receives what and when they receive it. Portions of your estate are passing into the wrong hands or not being distributed. It is essential to understand the risks involved before making a decision.
Consulting An Attorney
When writing your Last Will and Testament, it is vital to consult an attorney before taking on the task yourself. Writing a Last Will without the help of a qualified lawyer can lead to costly mistakes that may not be reversible, leaving your estate in disarray. You must take the time and get professional advice when dealing with such important legal matters.
An experienced attorney can provide valuable guidance and ensure that your wishes are addressed following state laws.
A lawyer can review your assets and liabilities and advise how best to structure your estate plan. They can draft necessary documents and keep them valid throughout the process. More about our services.
Additionally, they can explain any tax implications or consequences associated with certain decisions so that you make informed decisions.
When To Seek Legal Help
If you have an extensive estate or a large family, seeking help with your Last Will is the best option. An attorney experienced in drafting Wills can ensure that all the necessary steps are taken to create an enforceable document that adheres to state laws.
Additionally, consulting a lawyer is essential if there are any complicated provisions or conditions in your Will, such as trusts, guardianships, or tax issues.
On the other hand, if you have few assets and a small family circle without any complicated provisions, consider writing a Will on your own.
If you are considering writing your own Last Will and Testament, it is essential to seek the help of a qualified attorney. At The Estate Plan, they have the experience and competency to help ensure that your Last Will and Testament are valid and comprehensive.
The Estate Plan offers various services, including estate planning, probate, and Trust administration. Their lawyers are familiar with the laws in Florida and can help you draft a Last Will and Testament that meets your needs.

28Then, Jesus was taken from Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early, and the Jews themselves did not enter into the Praetorium in order not to be made ritually impure and to be able to eat the Passover. 29For this reason, Pilate went out to them and asked, “What accusation do you bring against this man?”
30“If he were not a criminal,” they replied, “we would not have handed him over to you.”
31At this, Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and judge him according to your law.”
Then, the Jews told him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death!”32 (This was to fulfil the word which Jesus had spoken, by which he had indicated by what kind of death he would die).
33So Pilate went back into the Praetorium. Having called Jesus, he asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
34Jesus answered, “Do you say this by yourself, or did others tell you about me?”
35Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered you to me. What have you done?”
36Jesus replied, “My Kingdom is not of this world! If my Kingdom were of this world, my servants would have fought so that I would not be delivered to the Jews. But as it is, my Kingdom is not from here.”
37Pilate, therefore, said to him, “Are you a king then?”
Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. I was born and I have come into the world for this reason: that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is ‘of the truth’ listens to my voice.”
38Pilate said to him, “What is truth?”
After saying this, he went out again to the Jews, and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him. 39But you have a custom, that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Therefore, do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?”
40Then they all shouted back, “Not this man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a rebel.
1Then, Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. 2The soldiers twisted thorns into a crown, placed it on his head, and dressed him in a purple garment. 3They kept saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” and they kept slapping him.
4Then, Pilate went out again. He said to the Jews, “Behold, I bring him out to you, so that you may know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”
5When Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple garment, Pilate said to them, “Behold, the man!”
6But when the chief priests and the officers saw Jesus, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”
Pilate answered, “Take him yourselves, and crucify him, for I find no basis for a charge against him.”
7The Jews insisted, “We have a law, and according to our law, he should die because he made himself the Son of God.”
8However, when Pilate heard these words, he was even more afraid. 9Returning into the Praetorium, he asked Jesus, “Where are you from?” But Jesus gave him no answer. 10Then Pilate asked him, “Are you not speaking to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you, and the power to crucify you?”
11Jesus answered, “You would have no power at all against me unless it were given to you from above. Therefore, he who delivered me to you has a greater sin.”
12From then on, Pilate tried to release Jesus, but the Jews cried out, “If you release this man, you are not Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!”
13When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called “The Pavement,” and in Hebrew, “Gabbatha.” 14Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, at about the sixth hour. He said to the Jews, “Behold, your King!”
15But they shouted, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate asked them, “Shall I crucify your King?”
The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”
16And so, Pilate delivered Jesus to them, to be crucified. Accordingly, the guards took Jesus and led him away.

It may not seem very apparent, but the most dangerous addiction that you could get into is doing drugs. Drug abuse is the dependence on drugs without any consent from medical professionals.
The problem is not limited to prescription medication. A person may also abuse drugs that are available illegally on the black market. These drugs are made in dubious facilities with the aid of strong chemical substances.
Path to Recovery
Men are often the culprits in the public’s view when talking about drug abuse. Women, however, are just as capable of getting into it as a means of coping with the stresses of life, notes Vizown, a drug rehab in Oklahoma.
In 2013 alone, there were 46,471 drug-induced deaths in the United States, which include use of legal and illegal drugs.
Managing Drug Addiction
Submitting oneself to a rehabilitation center is a step to recovery. Depending on the program, a person may take months or years to get rid of the drug dependence. Still, being drug-free is a lifelong challenge that will need support from friends and family.
Residential treatment centers are effective at providing treatments as patients have the chance to be far away from their usual stressors and influences. Time spent in these places makes the patients reflect and strategize better, with the help of therapists, on how to overcome the addiction.
Centers that cater to women, especially, have group and individual counseling sessions. There may also be opportunities for family counseling and other sessions like art therapy, physical fitness and others as part of the treatment program. All of these make the treatment program more effective.
Choosing a rehabilitation center that makes use of various approaches in dealing with drug addiction can help anyone on the path to recovery. Uncovering the causes of the addiction and implementing a treatment program are effective ways of addressing the problem. | <urn:uuid:787447c5-b390-438a-857a-f77c9d95cd2f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.thekikoowebradio.com/therapy-and-guidance-to-conquer-your-drug-addiction/ | 2023-10-03T14:54:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.962812 | 372 |

Why Is Lingerie So Expensive?
It's time for another Why do Lingerie Retailers...? feature, and this one asks the ever-popular question "Why do things cost what they cost?" If you've ever wondered what goes into the price of your favorite lingerie brands, Catherine (of Kiss Me Deadly fame) is here to explain:
My heart sank when Treacle asked me to put in something about prices, because that’s a 10,000 word essay in itself. So, I'll try and cover some of the basics. As you may recall from a few years back when I wrote about hosiery, pricing basically depends on the amount of time that goes into making a product and the cost of the materials.
But it won't always be obvious to someone not involved in making something what might be the expensive bit of a product. Ayten Gasson does a roll hem or French seam on all her pieces, for example, as it's more attractive and comfortable than the standard cheaper overlock... but you don’t see the inside of a garment when you buy online, and how many of you know that bit of trivia anyway?
You should also factor in the time it takes to develop a product --- sampling, fittings, grading (i.e. different sizes), marketing, and photography. The post-production time is where it costs you money.
Obviously you can reduce those costs considerably by having key patterns that you just restyle regularly. At the other end, there are costs associated with having stock sitting on the shelves. Space equals rent and bills and staff to count things, so a product sitting around is costing you money. It’s a fine balance keeping enough in stock without ending up with huge overheads that maim your profit margin into the kill zone.
Then there are lots of additional complications. For example, in the UK we pay 20% VAT (sales tax, basically) on most things, so about 1/5th of what we charge goes pretty much straight to government. We also have to factor in national insurance (the chunk of peoples' wages we send the government to help with pensions and whatnot), business rates (tax on our offices that goes to our local councils for services they provide) and of course in the event that we manage to make any money, 20% of that goes (yes, you guessed it) straight to the government again. Unless you're Vodaphone, in which case you can mysteriously avoid these things.
We should supply a certificate if you manage to read all this stuff. It’ll be super handy if you ever do a business qualification, I promise. | <urn:uuid:fd4878a2-eb07-4d67-9a4d-80b9c387daf3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.thelingerieaddict.com/2012/05/why-do-lingerie-retailers-charge-the-prices-they-do.html | 2023-10-03T15:02:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.959249 | 549 |

The Dolphins got some great news yesterday as they were informed that Hard Rock Stadium suffered no structural damage.

Let’s not waste any more time and dive right on into the evaluation. Https Www Coursera Org Browse Language Learning Learning English…
A good Coursera review can help you decide whether the e-learning platform is going to match your desires and requires or not. This review intends to do simply that, so if you have an interest in Coursera – read on!
To start with, I’ll tell you what is Coursera and what are the important things that it does. It will most likely be rather beneficial to discover the platform prior to starting to really evaluate it. After that, we’ll have a look at the company’s organization model, offered finding out experience, functions, pricing and everything in between.
A reputable and good knowing platform must possess, to name a few things, an “user friendly and navigate” kind of a user interface.
The website itself need to be easily reasonable – a great deal of business go for fancy designs that not do anything else however puzzle the visitors and make them wish to leave instantly. Let’s check out simply how well Coursera handle this subject.
Once you get in the main landing (front) page of the site, you are immediately presented with an easy, yet reliable welcoming. It’s a fundamental definitive catchphrase – “100% online learning from world’s best companies and universities”.
As simple as it may be, this very first one-liner serves its purpose significantly – you instantly get information about what is Coursera, how it’s different from the rivals, what’s the discovering model, and so on. Far, so great!
The landing page itself is super-simple in regards to style and what is revealed to the visitor. All that is exposed is the above-mentioned catchphrase, a list of partners and a “how it works” section.
Sure, you’ve got your search bar, headers & footers and all of that great things, however they’re required in either case, so it probably isn’t actually worth pointing out.
The user interface itself works fine – you can either select what you wish to gain from a drop-down menu or go into the keywords into the search bar. You can pick the topics, subtitle and main languages, types and so on.
Some users explain in their Coursera reviews that the course/specialization pages are pretty special in their style and look – and I would tend to concur! I do not wish to sound repeated, but they’re actually basic – visually pleasing, minimalistic color scheme, general descriptions and “why take this course?” areas, university, partner and trainer intros, Frequently asked questions which’s it!
Coursera offers a large range of certification programs. Nevertheless, it is regularly asked whether Coursera is complimentary, and if it supplies complimentary certificates.
The site states it provides a free, seven-day trial. Nevertheless, there are reports online of students having trouble ending a trial, although some may have simply forgotten to cancel on time.
Search our list below of the kinds of degrees and certificates provided by Coursera.
These are the individual courses that Coursera uses. Some are consisted of in the seven-day totally free trial, but once those seven days are over, the course will change to a monthly membership plan of an average of $49 per month till the course surfaces.
This is the term used to explain a group of four to 9 courses. MORE: Udemy Review: Is Udemy Worth It?
Bear in mind that the faster you complete your courses, the less money it will cost you. One threat with these expertise courses is that if the site has any bugs that stop you from moving to the next lesson, you may end up paying more than you had expected, due to their lack of client service.
Expert Certificates. The good idea to be said about Coursera’s expert certificates is that a few of them are transferable as university credits. However, they are also used in groups naturally, like the specializations, so they typically cost a lot more than a confirmed certificate course.
Master’s Degrees. The master’s degrees offered on the website are rather more affordable than a college degree, generally costing around $22,000. These are not subscription-based but are more of a typical college payment method rather.
Some of these certificates can likewise count towards a master’s degree. The certificate course expenses in between $2,000 and $5,000, not including textbooks and possible surprise fees.
Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences. These are Coursera’s bachelor’s degree choices. They cost in between $15,000 and $43,000 and can be paid completely or in increments.
Coursera Courses Evaluation
Coursera is among lots of platforms that use Huge Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in addition to degrees, expert courses, Coursera specializations, and MasterTrack courses. Coursera was founded in 2012 by Stanford computer technology professors Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng.
This Coursera course report may look familiar, but Coursera is not the only company of MOOCs. If you research online, you’ll find that there are many other alternatives, such as Udemy, FutureLearn, and others.
It’s the sheer breadth of Coursera’s offerings that sets it apart from the competition. The University of Michigan, Princeton University, Stanford University and the University of Pennsylvania are amongst the very first schools to use material on the platform. This enables users to access an Ivy League-level education without ever leaving home or being accepted to these competing institutions.
The Coursera courses last about 4 to twelve weeks and consist of one to two hours of video lectures each week.
As with any other course, Coursera courses vary a bit depending on the option you choose. Some consist of quizzes, graded tasks, and weekly workouts, while others may include last exams, final tasks, and even honors assignments!
There are also many courses that are available as needed. So you can take as much time as you require to complete the course without worrying about completing it on time. Https Www Coursera Org Browse Language Learning Learning English

Ursula Goes Tough On Media Law Enforcement
Communications Minister, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful has refused to give in to pressure by the Minority in Parliament over sanctions levelled against 131 radio stations.
She explained save some defaulting community radio stations that the Ministry will “deal a little leniently” with, the others will have their authorisations given to new applicants if the fines are not paid.
The Minister told Parliament Thursday, the National Communications Authority (NCA) deserves to be commended for having the “gut” to sanction media houses for breaching the law.
“We cannot continue to flout our laws [because] the evidence of our lawlessness is everywhere,” the Ablekuma East Member of Parliament (MP) said.
Related Article: NCA sanctions over 100 FM stations; revokes licences of 21 stations
About 131 FM Authorisation Holders were slapped with sanctions for violating various aspects of the Electronics Communications Act (2009), Act 775 last month.
The NCA also revoked the license of 21 others said to be operating “illegally” because they refused to renew their authorisations after they expired.
The Minority in Parliament has been dissatisfied with the action, describing the sanctions as “draconian.”
The opposition lawmakers said the exercise was a “deliberate attempt” to shut down radio stations that are not aligned with the government, asking the NCA to rescind its decision.
But the Communications Minister has dismissed suggestions that the exercise was carried out to target opposition radio stations.
Ms Ekuful said actions based on “statutes” cannot be termed political persecution or threat to press freedom as the Minority claimed.
“There is a clear need for proper regulation and management of this scarce finite resource and NCA [has been] ensuring an orderly broadcasting environment,” she said.
She threw a challenge to radio stations that believe they were unfairly dealt with to register their complaint with the NCA.
“I am inclined to deal a little leniently with the community radio stations but even they will pay a significant fine,” Ms Owusu-Ekuful said. | <urn:uuid:b771a454-7d50-4054-b697-22085169a620> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.thepublisheronline.com/ursula-goes-tough-on-media-law-enforcement/ | 2023-10-03T14:54:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.955313 | 464 |

There are a number of vital nutrients that are essential to our health, but none are more important than oxygen. In fact, Oxygen is the most vital nutrient we consume. It provides 90% of our energy, compared to food and water which provide only 10%. Needless to say, we wouldn’t last long without it.
Have you ever taken a nutritional supplement such as a multivitamin, fish oil or magnesium? These supplements can be helpful to make up for common nutrient deficiencies. Two-thirds of Americans take at least one nutritional supplement, but supplementing with oxygen is almost unheard of. Oxygen might be the most important supplement you’re not taking!
Benefits of Oxygen Supplementation
Destroys harmful bacteria
Increases white blood cell production and strength
Enhances the growth of new blood vessels
Helps prevent infection
Increases oxygen levels in tissues
Increases stem cell growth
Increases the production of collagen
Positively affects blood flow
Speeds wound healing
Shortens the inflammatory process
The air at sea level contains about 21% oxygen so we all get a daily dose of oxygen from the air we breathe, but some of us aren’t able to utilize all of the oxygen we are breathing in. Similar to food, it’s not all about what we take in, but rather what we absorb and utilize. An individual with gut issues isn’t able to absorb and utilize the nutrients from food as effectively as a healthy person. Similarly, individuals with damaged cells and poor mitochondrial health aren’t able to properly utilize the oxygen they take in. This results in an oxygen deficiency at the cellular level and poses a number of health threats. When the cells don’t have a proper supply of oxygen they aren’t able to perform their functions properly and the body’s ability to generate new cells is decreased. You’re your body loses the ability produce enough healthy cells to keep you healthy any number of symptoms and diseases can manifest.
Oxygen is the most important nutrient we consume, and if you're facing a health challenge oxygen supplementation might be the most important thing you can do for your health!
Symptoms of Oxygen Deficiency:
Easily get tired
Hard to focus which could lead to memory lost
Weak immunity system so easily infected by viruses, bacteria and etc.
How To Supplement With Oxygen
We’ve established that oxygen is important, and that supplementation might be a good idea. How does one go about supplementing with oxygen? Oxygen doesn’t come in a capsule or softgel like many nutritional supplements. And just sniffing extra hard probably isn’t the most effective solution either. There are a number of ways to supplement with oxygen but our favorite is called Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT). This involves breathing a higher concentration of oxygen, usually about 95%, while getting your heart rate up.

INCI = Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil
Saponification Value: 92 mg KOH / g of Fat
Jojoba has been used for skin and hair care for hundreds of years. Our jojoba has been deodorized and decolorized so your lotions can be white or can accept colors that remain true. Jojoba oil is similar to and has replaced Sperm Whale oil.
When using Jojoba in soap, limit its usage to one or two ounces per pound. Jojoba naturally accelerates tracing in soap recipes. We recommend that you use temperatures in the range of 100 F to 110 F when making soap with jojoba to accommodate this faster tracing.
1 gallon weighs 7 lbs.

Before every episode of The Vergecast I sit down, read through a bunch of news, and take a bunch of notes. It’s one of the most enjoyable parts of my week, and I started thinking it might be fun to do every day on the site. So, every day this week I’m sitting down and writing some notes on the news as though I’ll be talking about it later. Are you into this? Am I into this? I don’t know. But it’s fun to do! Give me some feedback and we’ll keep mutating this into something good.
A bit of a slow day in tech news, as Trump’s second cut at his immigration ban swallowed much of the news cycle. We’ll be covering that closely — as we’ve said repeatedly, immigration is very much an issue for the tech industry and community — but there was some other stuff going on today as well.
VERGECAST LIVE AT SXSW
- We’re doing The Vergecast live at SXSW on March 12th and 14th! Come hang out if you’re in Austin — details here.
GO FAST, TURN LEFT, DON’T WRECK YOUR CULTURE
- Two big pieces from our transportation section to bookmark and read. Andy Hawkins has been steadfastly reporting the endless string of Uber mishaps, and today he asked the obvious question: Can Uber be saved? Lots of quotes from investors and former employers, but my big takeaway is that the company has a talent retention and recruiting problem that spells doom over time. Who wants to work at Uber right now? There’s a lot of money out there for tech talent that understands cars and self-driving; Uber can’t survive if it can’t attract the best people.
- And over the weekend Sean O’Kane covered how Nascar is rebooting itself, with different race formats, far more data collection, and even a computer vision system that can detect when pit crews try to cheat by jumping out into pit lane early. It’s a super interesting story, and Sean also took some incredible photos of the Daytona 500.
- (All that Nascar tech is running on Surfaces and Microsoft cloud services, by the way. It’s a promotional deal, sure, but there’s something about having a traditional PC in that form factor that seems very smart for these kinds of applications.)
HP AND DELL, LEADERS IN DESKTOP PC DESIGN?
- Speaking of traditional PCs, Dan Seifert has been clogging up desks in our new office for weeks with all manner of neat-looking all-in-ones, and today he issued his proclamation: the desktop PC is finally cool. It’s a weird thing when Apple doesn’t seem to be pushing PC design forward at all compared to... HP and Dell? Here’s the video:
- It’s worth noting that the Dell, HP, and Microsoft Surface Studio all-in-ones are relatively underpowered, though. Paul Miller and I have been talking about a review series where Paul just reports back on whether a given default shipping configuration of various PCs can play Overwatch. Thoughts?
- We updated our Nintendo Switch review with a score and thoughts on the final software. Here’s Andrew Webster with a very low-key burn:
- The Switch’s Joy-Con controllers are Bluetooth, so you can pair them with Windows PCs, Macs, and Android phones — you need some keymapping software to make it all work though. Neat. But no iOS, even though it would be super cool if Nintendo extended its Super Mario Run deal by releasing classic games that could be played on iOS devices with a paired Joy-Con. Just a thought, please don’t @ me.
- More photos of the Galaxy S8 leaked out, and I am just utterly confused as to why the company put the fingerprint reader next to the camera lens. Reaching to unlock your phone and smudging your camera seems like an easily avoidable problem, no?
- Counterpoint: a lot of people tweeted at me that maybe Samsung is assuming you’ll unlock the phone with face detection or a retina scan, and this won’t be a problem at all. We’ll see.
- Lauren Goode covered the new Fitbit Alta, which has heart rate detection. Making it... basically a smaller Charge 2? As Lauren points out, Fitbit’s sales seem to be correlated to new product introductions, so the company has a major incentive to flood the market with Taco Bell-like remixes of the same few ingredients in various cases. And some sort of smartwatch is coming soon. We’ll see.
AJIT PAI UPDATE
- Not a peep from the FCC today, as far as I can tell; the immigration ban was the clear focus of government today. But FTC commissioner Terrell McSweeney wrote an op-ed for The Hill saying that FCC Chairman Ajit Pai’s move to halt the FCC’s privacy rules on internet providers is a big mistake, because the FTC can’t actually prevent ISPs from sharing your personal data. Complicated!
- As always, Pai is welcome on The Vergecast. SXSW, perhaps?
- Logan came out over the weekend, and as Chris Plante noted in our staff meeting today, the movie hits almost every base at The Verge. There are self-driving cars! References to patent law! Logan, uh, probably has an NFC chip in his finger? Sure. Anyhow, there’s tons to discuss, and Tasha Robinson, Kwame Opam, and Megan Farokhmanesh did a Logan post-watch conversation piece about it. (I love these.)
- Andrew Liptak interviewed Dan Panosian, who created the bespoke Wolverine comics featured in Logan. All together, he mocked up 10 covers for the film.
- The PlayStation Vue streaming TV service now lets you watch three channels at once, which the company says will be good for sports fans. With Sling, DirecTV, YouTube, and Sony all in the streaming-TV mix, I’m eager to see more competition and innovation around the actual TV viewing experience, even if this particular idea seems a little silly.
- All of these companies have basically the same channel bundles, give or take, so really all they can compete on is price and functionality. Which is always good for the people buying the stuff.
- Finally, the rare headline that says everything but also rewards you for looking at the photo: This self-driving van concept from Volkswagen looks like a pissed-off toaster. | <urn:uuid:3c9803f7-0be4-4cec-b960-b497629db1de> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.theverge.com/2017/3/6/14835472/show-notes-apple-is-getting-out-designed-by-hp-and-dell | 2023-10-03T14:57:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.947252 | 1,420 |
THE need is urgent, in this new academic year, 2022/2023, for educational programmes to assist Saint Lucian parents in establishing better relationships with their children. I will pursue this issue in the paragraphs which follow.
Recently, I met a young woman, Betty (pseudonym), who decided to share her life story with me. One of her biggest concerns, she expressed, was that she did not have a good relationship with her mother. Her mother was aggressive toward her, and did not make time to speak with her, or even listen to what she had to say. She yearned for love, guidance and support from her mother; she did not feel loved, valued or supported.
Betty was in Form four at a secondary school when she got pregnant for her stepfather, and had to drop out of school with no CXCs to her name. Sadly, all along, she was unable to inform her mother about her stepfather’s physical and sexual abuse towards her; not only because he used to threaten that he would kill her if she did but, also, she knew that her mother did not show genuine concern about her welfare, and would, therefore, not care to listen to her cries for freedom from the monstrous clutches of that brutal stepfather, with whom she grew up from a tender age (pre-school).
Many times, parents fail to take an accusation of physical or sexual abuse seriously, especially if the perpetrator is a family member or friend. This insensitivity or ignorance on the parents’ part could have serious repercussions on the individual’s social, educational, and emotional development, and self-esteem, as was the case with Betty: Betty further explained that as a result of her traumatic experiences with her stepfather and her stormy relationship with her mother (as well as her biological father), she looked to a gang, drugs, alcohol, and theft, hoping to find solutions to her myriad of problems. Unfortunately, this route exacerbated Betty’s situation–she became a delinquent teenager, and her life, then, became a living hell!
Paul H. Mussen, a pioneer in the field of child psychology, whose research studies focused on “social interactions between parents and children,” has provided valuable insight into the effects of poor parent-child relationships long before the 1970s, and those findings are still very relevant to the present discussion. Mussen (1979) states that poor parent-child relationships and parental rejection, physical punishment (abuse), erratic discipline are major antecedent factors in juvenile delinquency. Most delinquents feel rejected by their parents, insecure, deprived, jealous of their siblings, and are uncomfortable with their parents (among other factors). In a nutshell, the author accentuates that, obviously, socio-economic factors are not the only significant antecedents of delinquency. Psychological problems and personal insecurities which stem from dysfunctional family relationships also predispose a child to delinquency, as well as other maladaptive behaviours.
Relatively speaking, the American SPCC (2014) asserts that a child who is never allowed to make decisions, and who is constantly belittled, criticized, and who experiences abuse is likely to have low self-esteem. It becomes worse when the child goes through sexual abuse as a child. Such forms of abuse are known to make children more prone to violent behaviours. Children who are exposed to abuse and violent behaviours are likely to become violent adults. They grow up believing that violence is the only way to solve problems.
Children need love and security. They require a loving family to care for them, and need to know that no matter the circumstances, their family will continue to love and look after them. This will give them a feeling of security because they will feel safe in the love and care of their family. Usually, a secure child is a well-behaved child (Grant, 2009).
One will agree that Betty’s dismal situation is not an isolated case in Saint Lucia. A number of cases have been reported on children or teenagers who have suffered severely at the hands of a perpetrator, perhaps, a stepfather, uncle, family friend, neighbour, or the biological father himself (or someone else you, the reader, know or have heard about), either physically or sexually, or both.
What, then, does one think is the role of the Saint Lucian education system in regard to this critical psychological issue at hand? Undoubtedly, it is the responsibility of the Saint Lucian education system to develop educational programmes that would assist parents in establishing better relationships with their children, including young adults or teenagers. Just as parents are not only dependent on doctors to treat their sick child but, also, to educate them on how to manage their sick child at home, so are parents dependent not only on teachers to educate their child but, also, on schools to educate them (parents) on how to establish better relationships with their growing child in the home.
As a school teacher (primary/elementary, secondary, and tertiary level), and a school principal, I can recall parents asking me for advice about certain issues regarding their child, even at the tertiary level. Hopefully, many parents will welcome such programmes.
Careful planning of educational programmes would, first and foremost, engage school administrators and teachers in ascertaining as much as possible about each child’s environment. By environment is meant the type of family and home which the child comes from (Grant, 2009). For example, is it one where the child comes from a foolish, negligent family, whereby the mother is enjoying herself with friends, and cannot be bothered to spend quality time with her child and, more often than not, leaves the child at home (vulnerable to some paedophile) to care for himself or herself?
Secondly, what the above exercise would mean is that the programme would be in a position to identify families who are considered to be at serious risk and provide intensive home visiting. Such an initiative can enhance the understanding, coping skills, and parents’ self-esteem (Ontario Early Years Study Final Report, 1999).
Thirdly, the programme would be prepared to meet the individual needs of parents or families, with the assistance of significant persons or resources to achieve the desired results and, ultimately, the goal of the educational programmes on the whole.
In conclusion, school training can never take the place of a healthy, harmonious family life, and it is easier for principals and teachers to build on the solid foundation started at home. Therefore, the development of educational programmes to assist parents in establishing better relationships with their children is indispensable. It cannot be overlooked. What such educational programmes will do, hopefully, is to raise awareness of lifelong impacts of adverse childhood experiences, and prevent child maltreatment (American SPCC, 2014) in the home. In the final analysis, the future Saint Lucian society would benefit, tremendously! | <urn:uuid:3e3a28f0-150d-489e-af19-27523aa0c263> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.thevoiceslu.com/2022/09/in-this-new-academic-year-2022-2023-and-beyond-educational-programmes-need-to-assist-parents-in-establishing-better-relationships-with-their-children/ | 2023-10-03T14:57:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.974607 | 1,407 |

In this recipe, Sweet Broccoli Salad gets a makeover by adding tender pasta and a lightened up Greek Yogurt dressing. It’s the perfect cold side dish for any time of the year!
This post was originally shared by Kristin of Yellow Bliss Road.
Have you tried Joan’s Broccoli Madness Salad from Costco? It’s a make-at-home version of the famous Broccoli Salad from Souplantation and it’s delicious! Crunchy broccoli, cashews, bacon, onion and a sweet and creamy dressing. We picked a package up on our last big Costco trip and devoured it at dinner time.
Looking at the ingredients (just mayo, sugar and vinegar – yikes!) it was obvious that if I wanted to keep on enjoying this salad I was going to need to come up with a lighter version.
Greek yogurt based dressings are my go-to when I’m trying to lighten things up, like this Hawaiian Macaroni Salad or this Crunchy Chicken Asian Style Salad. For this broccoli salad I knew I needed the creaminess of the mayo so I chose to replace just half of it with the Greek yogurt. Instead of sugar I used honey, and the kept the apple cider vinegar for a little acid.
While the broccoli salad is great on it’s own I wanted to make it a heartier salad so I added some grapes and bowtie pasta. The grapes also help to give a little more sweetness since you’re leaving out the sugar. My son is allergic to cashews so I swapped them out for some dry roasted sunflower seeds but you could use any nuts you like. They really do give a nice added crunch. You could also add a little chopped up bacon if you miss that flavor.
This was really a fun and deliciously different salad and a nice detour from our regular green dinner salad. It’s great for summer picnics or barbecues, or potlucks and parties any time of the year.

Gorgeous girls, snow angels and winter adventures was the perfect way to spend a snowy morning. I’ve known this mama since I was four years old which makes it even more fantastic to see her with her own little ones. I have gained a new respect for parents of more than one now, because it is a little tricky to get everyone to want to take a picture at the same time! Of course the work paid off when I saw sweet moments like this first picture from behind the camera, and then of course, it makes all the hard work of entertaining and distracting totally worth it! The final pictures are some family photos of a new nephew and his very excited cousins. | <urn:uuid:0e327e43-6a0c-4f12-9a81-0dd368c6549d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.tiffanyjoywphotography.com/2016/01/craft-family-medical-lake.html | 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 | 0.980859 | 139 |

Kim Kardashian's signature shapewear company, SKIMS, says a woman who filed a lawsuit claiming SKIMS body tape ripped her skin off has it all wrong ... and the tape she actually used was an Amazon purchase that's not associated with Kim or SKIMS at all.
The woman, Noelle Mahasin Smith, filed a lawsuit against SKIMS Monday -- claiming the company's body tape was ripping her skin off. The lawsuit was thin on specifics, but Smith says the body tape is directly responsible for the physical and mental pain she claims she endured by using it.
A rep for SKIMS tells us Smith didn't even purchase the tape from them, saying, "We take feedback from our customers very seriously. Upon further review of this specific complaint, we have discovered that the customer purchased what appears to be fake tape from Amazon, who is not an authorized or official retailer of SKIMS products."
Kim's SKIMS brand has become super popular in the market, the company rep continues, "Unfortunately counterfeit items have become commonplace for the brand and we strongly advise our customers to only purchase from SKIMS or any of our official retail partners which can be found on our website to ensure that they receive authentic products that meet our quality standards."
In comparing the products, you can see Kim's tape has the SKIMS marking ... much different than the one allegedly purchased on Amazon.
There's also the price difference, Smith's purchase was $9.99 for a roll of tape and pack of 10 pasties ... SKIMS retailed for $36 for a roll and $12 for a pack of 10 pasties. | <urn:uuid:fcdfdfdd-e415-4051-b28d-31e6cc6d64d0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.tmz.com/2022/08/29/kim-kardashian-skims-brand-sued-body-tape-amazon/ | 2023-10-03T15:12:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.973348 | 338 |

Geography professor Kelsey Hanrahan builds global relationships.
Think geography is just about maps? Think again.
“Sometimes students in my human geography class are surprised that what they’re learning is called geography,” laughs Assistant Professor Kelsey Hanrahan, who delights in sharing how the discipline also explores “relationships and connections between people and their environment.”
Hanrahan is all about relationships.
For nearly a decade, the geography department professor has been building connections with villagers in rural Ghana for her research on, guess what? Relationships. That is, the bonds that matter when people are trying to support themselves in a labor intensive, agrarian society.
Ghana has had a lot of research attention, says Hanrahan, but she’s looking at the country and its people through a particular lens.
“It’s nice to be able to contribute a perspective,” says Hanrahan, “inspired by feminist approaches that challenge some long-standing assumptions, chiefly the idea that people make individualized and purely economic decisions. I, instead, focus on how people depend on each other and make difficult, complex decisions about individual, family and community physical and social well-being.”
Back on campus, one of her favorite parts of teaching is the relationships she builds with students.
Hanrahan, who joined TU in 2016, looks forward to involving students in her research, including working with the data she collects or even taking them with her to Ghana.
For now, she welcomes those knocks on her office door — students coming for academic advice, career advice, life advice.
“Those moments in my office are a lovely extension of teaching,” says Hanrahan, “into that other space where you see them think about the world and their position in the world, who they want to be, who they want to become.” | <urn:uuid:49f8446d-f191-45d6-bf53-cee714d04524> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.towson.edu/cla/departments/geography/about-kelsey-hanrahan.html | 2023-10-03T13:27:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.972263 | 399 |

Following on from the proven success of Stealth Digital Processing, and the use of FPGA’s for large scale audio processing applications, DiGiCo has revealed their concept design of the company’s next development of Quantum 7 processing.
Quantum 7 is developed with seventh generation FPGA devices that further expand audio processing power, and ultimately allows DiGiCo to provide its users with an unrivalled amount of further flexibility. To put this advancement into perspective, the current Stealth Digital Processing is heavily based around third generation FPGA devices.
Although not scheduled for release until Spring 2017, DiGiCo will present an SD7 installed with Quantum 7 at ProLight+Sound 2016. Those attending the show will see some of the unique ways this processing and flexibility are being implemented.
Some examples of these enhancements are the patent pending Nodal Processing and True Solo.
Nodal Processing means that for the first time processing can be applied to any node on the auxiliary section of the console, allowing engineers to send unique processing on each send from a single, or multiple channels. This level of creativity will allow engineers to tailor and deliver dedicated mixes that were simply not possible before Quantum 7.
Coupled with Nodal Processing is the new True Solo system that allows the operator’s monitoring system to replicate almost any section of the console, and how that source is being processed and heard. This saves time and speeds up the process of managing the potentially daunting number of channels and busses available to the user.
Getting into the numbers, Quantum 7 expands an SD7 to over 600 channels of processing in 96kHz operation that can be connected in the outside world to approaching 3,000 potential I/Os. New connectivity goes further, as the engine is also equipped with eight newly assignable MADI connections and two DMI slots (DiGiCo Multi-Channel Interface) for AoIP and other connectivity options from the complete family of DMI card options.
Perhaps the best feature of Quantum 7 is its ability to be retro-fitted into any existing SD7, allowing owners to take advantage of these developments and continue to make the unrivalled return on investment DiGiCo stands for.
“Even though I have worked with DiGiCo’s R&D team for 20 years, I am still amazed at the creativity of the complete team and how they continually strive to add value to our products,” said DiGiCo Managing Director James Gordon. “Last year they managed to take Stealth Digital Processing to a new client base with S21, and now this year they present the Quantum 7 concept. There’s never a dull day at DiGiGo.” | <urn:uuid:a783ae51-8d16-4391-aa56-00297101ca23> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.tpimagazine.com/digico-reveals-quantum-7-at-prolightsound-2016/ | 2023-10-03T13:50:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.93627 | 551 |

It’s now time for everyone to call Gurgaon as Gurugram. This modern city in Haryana has got a new name – Gurugram. According to reports, this was a long pending demand or decision of the municipal corporation.
It is believed that in the ancient time, the village was given to Guru Dronacharya as Gurudakshina from Pandavas (his students).
Hence, it was named as Gurugram. As per sources, this name got distorted to Gurgaon with passing time. This is regarded as the reason to change the name of Gurgaon. It is also said that here, Guru Dronacharya and his wife Mata Sheetla resided in an ashram.
Further, it is also said that Mewat, the neighbouring district of Gurgaon, might also be renamed as Nuh. Mewat basically, is not a town; rather, it is cultural and geographical unit beyond the state of Haryana.
Only time can explain whether or not, the new name of the city will stick to the lips of the residents. However, reports suggest that there are mixed reactions for it.

We, at Trinity Catholic School, are committed to Catholic education in the North Country and to making it available to all families, regardless of financial ability. The tuition increase this year is less than 3%; which is below the cost of living increase and less than previous years increase. We recognize financial burdens that many of our families are experiencing due to the cost of living, and do not want to add to that strain. The revenue collected from this increase will be solely directed to support our teachers with an increase in their salaries; which will also be well below the cost of living increase. Our dedicated teachers deserve much more than we can offer them in terms of salary, and we are very thankful for the sacrifices they make. They fulfill the high standard of education we have come to expect from Trinity, while creating a loving and caring environment for their students.
We will still be able to offer financial assistance for our families through scholarships and the Diocesan tuition assistance program. Please never hesitate to reach out if you need help filling out or submitting any of these forms.
Thank you for your continued support of our wonderful school.
All families must participate in fundraising for the school and agree to raise $400 (per family, not per student) through school-sponsored fundraisers, by the end of all fundraising events; or agree to a fundraising buyout of $400 for the year.
Please click here for the school’s tuition policy.
Available for Jr. Kindergarten through 6th Grades only. Pre-Kindergarten students are not eligible for tuition assistance.
All families may apply for financial assistance toward tuition. Trinity Catholic School exerts every effort to make Catholic education accessible and affordable for every family. Last year, close to $53,000 in scholarships were awarded to students enrolled at Trinity Catholic School. Families who wish to apply for scholarships should apply for FACTS Tuition Assistance first. Then, if your income qualifies you for Free and Reduced Lunches for your children, you may apply for Diocesan Tuition Assistance. Scholarship awards are based upon each family’s financial need and ability to pay.

How to Develop a Successful B2B Mobile App ?
Business to business (B2B) is becoming popular in the application business area. Instead of reaching customers through mobile apps, businesses focus on reaching other businesses like doctors, restaurants, etc.
With the evolution of new and innovative technologies, it has become easy to access emails, social accounts, games, music, and other entertainment area on the smartphone device at any time and also including the latest technologies in the business such as wearables, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, etc., these technologies have also made B2B application important.
However, very few businesses opt for the B2B application; hence, the competition is not yet intense in the market. The slow adoption of B2B in the mobile application development process is due to the small size of the B2B market. It requires better communication and robust sales, which is still difficult. However, the best part of the B2B application is that the user focuses on the conversion rate.
Various studies have also suggested that more than 85% of mobile phones are spent on smartphone apps. Hence, mobile apps that are useful for existing clients can help the business to grow.
Below are some of the tips on developing a successful B2B application. App development, deployment, and app service and maintenance are important factors for developing successful B2B applications and proper resources and time.
Social media has become an important part of our lives as it helps people connect and helps businesses achieve their goals. Hence, companies and businesses are focusing on taking full advantage of social media and developing techniques.

Along with mobile application development processes, companies are also building social media pages to enhance the user experience. Businesses are also focusing on developing campaigns targeting smartphone audiences and encouraging them to install the app.
Optimizing App Store
Every store has its own algorithm; hence, it becomes important to comprehend the multiple ins and multiple outs of each store to ensure that the mobile application has maximum exposure.
In the case of the iOS mobile app, it is important to ensure that the app is optimized for the App Store, and in the case of the Android app, it should be optimized for the Play Store. Regardless of the cost to develop a mobile app, the company should deliver a quality app to the customers and users.
Purpose of B2B App
Going with the Flow of Latest Trends

Conducting robust research and planning accordingly can help businesses develop the best B2B app for a client and enhance customer experience.
Marketing B2B Mobile App

Monsoons are however recommended to be avoided for Andaman Nicobar tour because of the high tidal waves, incessant rains and strong winds.Travelers on Tripoto have been talking about this.

Production Load Fixtures for Cargo Winches
Case: Our customer, a supplier if winches for military vehicles and aircraft, had designed 2 new products with much higher load capacities than their existing products. Read more
Their existing test equipment was antiquated and not capable of developing the loads required for their new products. The new test equipment would aid the development of the new products and test production test winches for, at least the next 30 years, the required support life of their products.
Solution: TPD designed an instrumented load winch test platform capable of monitoring and controlling the loading and speed of the customer’s winches, per their design specification. The test platform is easily changed over between the two winches and has the capability to accommodate future new designs with only tooling and programming changes.
Design Challenges: The Test Platform needed to be capable of reeling in 250 feet of cable from the customer’s winch and reeling it out again, without damaging the cable, and control the cable tension, throughout the test. To meet this requirement TPD designed a 42-inch diameter drum with helical groove cut into the outside diameter to control the position of the cable. The diameter of the drum design meant that the Test Platform needed to provide up to 21,000 Ft-lbs. of torque to produce the maximum of 12,000 lbs. of cable tension. The Test Platform can provide up to 24,000 Ft-lbs. of torque by utilizing 2 radial, 7-cylinder, hydraulic position motors directly coupled to the drum. Safety requirements were met by totally enclosing the Test Platform in 80/20 framing with clean Lexan Panels and several emergency stop buttons located around the Test Platform. The Test Platform is controlled by a dedicated PC running a LabView GUI. The LabView GUI provides the means for the operator to select programs, run and monitor tests in progress and store and retrieve test data. | <urn:uuid:11f1c380-03ea-4ff7-9420-3025ed425b5b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.tripowerdesign.com/3-product-load-fixtures-for-cargo-winches/ | 2023-10-03T12:47:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.93601 | 393 |
Pushkar , Rajasthan
Historical, Heritage, Pilgrimage, Lake, Pushkar Festival
Hindi & Rajasthani
Pushkar is one of the oldest cities of India and known as city of temples. It’s a city steeped in so much legend and holiness you could almost fly a magic carpet across Arabia to get here. But if your carpet won’t take off, you won’t be stuck. Ajmer is about half an hour away and you can make the trip by bus or taxi. Local buses leave regularly from the main bus station in Ajmer. Pushkar features heavily in Hindu legend, and the town was a residence for many rulers during the Mughal Empire.
Temple viewing is an important activity in Pushkar. Many tourists come from all over the world and thousands of pilgrims visit Pushkar each year. Watching the life on the lake by the ghats is activity enough for some, and many of India’s festivals, from Diwali to the Holi Festival, take place here in full color.
Pushkar is a good place to buy beads, bangles, leather goods and textiles. Try the Sadar Bazaar for bargains. Try the Funky Monkey Café for a good place to relax and read. There are many foods in Pushkar, Daal Batti is a delicious dish containing Rajma beans. There are many opportunities to try yoga, massage or meditation while in Pushkar. Always look for a quality instructor; try following the recommendations of other travelers. You will see many holy men, or Sadhus, in Pushkar.
Near Pushkar is the Pushkar Yoga Garden, so tired travelers can get bendy, flexible, and hopefully rejuvenated. Not to be missed is the speactacular Pushkar Camel Fair. Hundreds of camels spread out across the sandy desert.
Men may approach you in Pushkar and invite you to take part in a puja. They may be looking to charge you for this service. As with anywhere in India, try to distinguish between those looking to make money and those being genuinely friendly. It pays to be alert in Pushkar. Be aware of pickpockets and do not accept food or even cigarettes from strangers as it may be drugged. It is also important to respect the sanctity of the town. Footwear should be removed thirty feet away from the ghats of the lake. By no means take alcohol to Pushkar as it is forbidden here. | <urn:uuid:4aad3d42-2fc3-4b97-be48-2b25430b2823> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.trodly.com/india/destination-1895/pushkar | 2023-10-03T13:26:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.950121 | 519 |

The report assessed and compared 19 organizations that offer managed security services in the Asia Pacific region and was based on several parameters including: comprehensiveness of service offerings, portfolio benefits, delivery model, market execution, cost competitiveness, platform capabilities and customer services. Trustwave catapulted to a Leader position, up from the Major Player category the previous year, through aggressive regional expansion, a threat intelligence-led approach for delivering higher-value security services and connectivity support across the datacenter and cloud.
"Demand for managed security services continues to spike as organizations face arduous struggles to detect advanced persistent threats while contending with new malware strains and exploitable vulnerabilities each day," said Lee Chiang Toh, General Manager, APJ at Trustwave. "Our positioning in IDC's report reflects significant strides we made and continue to make in the Asia Pacific region and globally helping businesses combat threats and strengthen their security postures by providing a best-of-breed managed security services portfolio backed by some of the world's foremost security expertise."
Added Global Security Firepower - Trustwave added to its network of federated Advanced Security Operation Centers (ASOCs) that collects, updates, and disseminates actionable threat intelligence in real-time to all managed security services customers. A total of ten ASOCs located throughout North America, Europe and Asia protects customers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In addition, Trustwave added to Trustwave SpiderLabs, its elite force of security researchers, penetration testers, incident responders, and threat hunters. Serving as the backbone of Trustwave's managed security offerings, they were also responsible for discovering several new malicious threats and coding vulnerabilities.
New Managed Security Service Offerings - Trustwave unveiled a highly advanced threat hunting service to heighten its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services. Led by Trustwave SpiderLabs, threat hunting uses behavioral analytics and proprietary threat intelligence to actively search for, isolate, and kill advance persistent threats and other hard to detect malicious activities to stop cataclysmic damage before it occurs and/or greatly lessening its impact.
Strengthened Channel Program - To address and capture the growing demand for managed security services in the Asia Pacific region, Trustwave bolstered its global channel partner program by incorporating robust training regimens and curriculums designed to help resellers better understand industry specific and regional security challenges and articulate key advantages offered through the Trustwave model.
"All the participating companies in this study have been selected because they are strong providers, and each firm differentiates itself uniquely. Organizations should leverage the right managed security services provider to augment and optimize their security operations and, more importantly, transform their security programs to be more aligned with their business strategies," stated Cathy Huang, senior research manager, IDC Asia/Pacific Security Services.
For inclusion in the IDC MarketScape study, managed security service providers and services vendors were narrowed down based on the following criteria: service capability across a broader managed security services portfolio, in-country managed security services delivery capabilities in a minimum of two sub-Asia Pacific regions, and a total managed security services revenue of more than $20 million USD attained in Asia Pacific between 2016 and 2017.
IDC MarketScape vendor analysis model is designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of ICT (information and communications technology) suppliers in a given market. The research methodology utilizes a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative and quantitative criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of each vendor's position within a given market. IDC MarketScape provides a clear framework in which the product and service offerings, capabilities and strategies, and current and future market success factors of IT and telecommunications vendors can be meaningfully compared. The framework also provides technology buyers with a 360-degree assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of current and prospective vendors.

Art and history are two of King’s favorite subjects, and both have influenced his creative work. The bulk of that work can be seen during the “The Paper Route” exhibition, and in King’s book, The Paper Route, which also shares memories and paintings of his hometown.
Tryon Palace will host a free reception and book signing of The Paper Route from noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 9, in the Duffy Gallery, and light refreshments will be served. The Tryon Palace Museum Store sells copies of King’s book and encourages visitors to purchase a copy before going to the book signing event.
To view some of King’s locally-inspired artwork, visit www.artbygerryking.com.
This free art exhibition is offered Aug. 2-Sept. 1 in the Duffy Gallery, which is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
For more information about this exhibit, or the book signing and reception, call 252-639-3500, or visit www.tryonpalace.org.

House Passes Fiscal 2021 Transportation Funding Bill
[Stay on top of transportation news: Get TTNews in your inbox.]
A package of fiscal 2021 appropriations bills that included the Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies measure recently passed the U.S. House of Representatives. The Senate has yet to consider its legislative version.
The House bill, which received a 217-197 vote, would provide the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration $881 million for its operations. The proposed allocation would be a $202 million increase from the fiscal 2020-enacted level, and $179 million more than the president’s request.
Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Subcommittee Chairman David Price (D-N.C.) noted, “Throughout the bill, we focus on improved safety, the needs of underserved people and communities, and resiliency in the face of a changing climate. ‘Infrastructure Week’ shouldn’t be a punchline. This funding is necessary for our future prosperity, especially as we transition from pandemic to recovery.”
According to Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.) the bill:
- Provides strong funding and protections to prioritize public health and safety.
- Addresses police reform.
- Invests in education and job training.
- Expands access to safe, affordable and fair housing.
- Supports service members and military families.
- Combats climate change and embraces a clean energy future.
“I am also proud that the package includes strong emergency appropriations to confront coronavirus and support economic recovery,” Lowey added.
The House bill would provide $107.2 billion for the U.S. Department of Transportation, an increase of $21.1 billion from the fiscal 2020-enacted level and $19.4 billion more than the president’s request. The legislation also proposes $62.9 billion for the Federal Highway Administration. It would provide the Federal Transit Administration $18.9 billion; and the Federal Aviation Administration would receive $18.1 billion. The measure also would match the president’s request by providing $1 billion for infrastructure grants.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, under the bill states and municipalities would receive supplemental aid for transportation and housing programs totaling $75 billion. Top Republicans in the House rejected the measure.
“I am disappointed by both the process that got us here and the product that was produced. The Appropriations Committee has a strong tradition of working together and seeking consensus where we can. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case for the annual funding bills that moved through the committee and the House floor over the last month,” said committee ranking Republican Kay Granger of Texas. “Democrats walked away from a bipartisan budget agreement that was made just last year and jammed through partisan messaging bills that will add to our skyrocketing national debt.”
Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) has not scheduled consideration of the fiscal 2021 transportation measure. The GOP-controlled Senate has lagged in its consideration of the appropriations measures, raising the possibility of taking up the bills after the November elections.
Senators have feuded along partisan lines about the ability to offer amendments related to law enforcement and the pandemic. Considering appropriations bills that would allow Democrats to present high-profile amendments would put a spotlight on lawmakers who vote on political issues.
When Congress resumes its legislative schedule after the August recess, a focus is likely to be placed on approving temporary funding stopgaps that would avert a partial shutdown of federal agencies at the end of the fiscal year Sept. 30. To avert a shutdown of certain agencies prior to the start of the next fiscal year, Congress would have to send to the president’s desk for enactment either fiscal 2021 funding legislation or temporary funding bills.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif — Advance Auto Parts and the Bakersfield Police Department are teaming up to create a new vehicle safety program.
A press conference was held Thursday morning where Advance Auto Parts announced they're donating $2,500 worth of gift cards to the Bakersfield Police Department. The idea is when an officer pulls someone over for a vehicle violation like a broken headlight or cracked window, the officer can decide to give them a warning and a $25 gift card to get their car fixed.
Lieutenant Ryan Kroeker with BPD believes this program will really benefit drivers in need.
"Typically a lot of the vehicle code violations we see are taillights not working, brake lights not working. Having this kind of program, a lot of them are probably gonna be covered by the $25 gift card. So being able to bring their vehicle to code for free, is a good thing for our community."
BPD hopes this makes the relationship between officers and community members more positive. They say partnerships like this are crucial for improving public safety so they appreciate the support from local businesses like Advanced Auto Parts. | <urn:uuid:608cef30-816c-42e8-8a07-f3f4256b97d1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.turnto23.com/news/local-news/advanced-auto-parts-bpd-partner-up-for-new-vehicle-safety-program-in-bakersfield | 2023-10-03T14:19:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.961533 | 229 |
With just eight guys left on The Bachelorette Canada, Jasmine’s job is getting tougher. And, with Quebec City as the backdrop, she got a lot closer to her final decision.
As the episode began, Chris announced to producers that he wasn’t going to focus on his differences with Drew, but his connection with Jasmine. Smart move, considering Chris isn’t vying for Drew’s affections.
But it was Mike—and his eight-pack abs—who landed the first one-on-one date of the episode, with the two taking to the skies in a helicopter. (I’m hoping Mikhel gets a helicopter date so he can show off his skills.) The fact he’s a firefighter scored Mike points, and their connection over parental loss did too. The in-sky smooches sealed it, and he nabbed the first rose of the night, though the fact he’s not able to relocate—at this point, anyway—could cause some problems.
As for the first group date, Mikhel, Chris, Kevin P. and Thomas donned plaid lumberjack shirts and headed outside to hammer nails and chop and carry logs around in the woods. It was a physical date designed to spotlight prowess and determination, and some did better than others. Thomas (speaking in third person, no less) and Chris started off strong, but Chris faltered in the end and the former construction worker turned international model was tops in the competition. Not only did he get free time with Jasmine in a horse and carriage but they discussed the differences between Tom and Thomas, and what they do to get freaky. Kudos to Thomas for letting his guard down and singing—into a Two Oceans wine bottle—to Jasmine because he was rewarded a rose for it.
Second group date was reserved for Benoit, Kevin W. and Drew. Drew announced he was playing it coy with Jasmine, with fingers crossed she’d be intrigued by his mystery and seek him out. Speaking of fingers, everyone’s got a workout at a spa where massages and other spa treatments were doled out. The hook? Jasmine was blindfolded and had to guess who was touching her. Drew went first, running his oily fingers all over Jasmine, and that upset Kevin W. quite a bit. Benoit and his vibrating things performed a sensual manicure, and upset Kevin W. too. When it was his turn, Kevin W. took control of the pedicure and got Jasmine all hot and bothered. Jasmine successfully guessed who had performed what and, after fending off Benoit’s tongue, got serious with Drew and talked dogs, outside fireplaces, apple trees and his mom. Kevin W., meanwhile, was surprised by the jealousy he was feeling and showed it by giving Jasmine a bit of a cold shoulder. He was rewarded by … Drew receiving a rose.
After a surprisingly low-key episode compared to last week’s fireworks, Jasmine doled out the remaining roses to Mikhel, Kevin W., Benoit and Kevin P. Unfortunately, despite wanting to focus on Jasmine, she wasn’t interested in Chris, his lyrics … or kissing him. That led to the most awkward moment of the season, Chris’ demise, and a tearful exit.
“Just another broken dream,” he said, wiping away tears.

African leaders seeking to broker peace in the Ukraine war are ready to launch their mission “in mid-June,” the South Africa government has announced.
In May, President Cyril Ramaphosa had said Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had each agreed to receive a six-member African peace team.
The African leaders, meeting on Monday, “agreed that they would engage” Putin and Zelensky “on the elements for a ceasefire and a lasting peace in the region,” a statement from Ramaphosa’s office said.
“The presidents confirmed their availability to travel to Ukraine and Russia in mid-June,” it said.
Ramaphosa later told a press conference in Pretoria alongside the visiting Portugese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa that Monday’s meeting “confirmed that we now are at a stage where we are going visit Kyiv and Moscow.”
“Our mission is a peace mission,” he said, “and we want to dub it as a road to peace.”
He said the African leaders would be “seeking to get a commitment on both sides that they too should seek… to end this conflict through peaceful means.”
Foreign ministers from the respective countries will “finalise the elements of a road map to peace,” the presidency said.
The delegation unveiled by Ramaphosa last month comprises the presidents of the Republic of Congo, Egypt, Senegal, South Africa, Uganda and Zambia.
African countries have been badly hit by rising prices for grain since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a major global source of wheat and other agriculture commodities — and the war’s wider impact on world trade. | <urn:uuid:19b9f4f7-beb1-40d2-b558-757f91b48eeb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.tv360nigeria.com/african-peace-mission-in-ukraine-war-to-start-mid-june-south-africa-govt/ | 2023-10-03T14:53:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.95453 | 370 |

The existence of the theater within the metropolis of Odessa started from the primary days of the city’s basis. Travellers should have particular person danger assessments by considered one of our doctors whether they are holiday makers, businesspeople, or lengthy-term expatriates. Throughout my time in Ukraine, I visited three totally different cities- Lviv , Odessa and Kiev.
While Chernivtsi is greatest completed as an overnight trip from Lviv, it’s closer, will not take you through Moldova to get to Odessa, and can give vacationers an opportunity to see one other predominantly Ukrainian metropolis (Odessa is more Russified and speaks Russian).
Though everybody there’s Ukrainian by citizenship, there are greater than one million who are of Russian origin; for example Kharkiv itself sports activities 1 million ethnic Russians. Sails twice per week between Istanbul (= Haydarpasa, on eastern aspect of the Bosphorus) and Odessa (= Chernomorsk, just south of town), a 23 hour voyage throughout the Black Sea.
There is not any signal of Stalinist concrete, and Ukrainian (not Russian) is unquestionably the majority language. You may walk throughout the 200m long bridge from Sighetu Marmaţiei , Romania When you get to Solotvino , Ukraine, you may proceed your journey in a automotive or a practice.
The Kiev-Lviv-Przemysl trains are smart air-conditioned Ukrainian categorical electric trains, introduced in December 2016. Particularly in Lviv, you will have the toughest time as a result of they not solely mostly speak Ukrainian however they have a particular dialect of their own.

ARINS provides evidence-based research and analysis on the most significant questions of policy and public debate facing the island of Ireland, north and south. Prof Fidelma Ashe features in episode 12 which considers popular participation in constitutional discussion.
Recent developments in constitutional theory have focused on participatory and deliberative constitutionalism. Popular participation in constitutional discussion is at once a normative commitment, a practical policy and a legal right. In episode 12, Joanne McEvoy (University of Aberdeen) and Fidelma Ashe (Ulster University) explore the ways in which including and encouraging popular engagement can not only enrich constitutional discussion but critically can shape constitutional change. | <urn:uuid:e8c291e3-d4cb-486c-9b16-9dba33cf40d3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.ulster.ac.uk/faculties/arts-humanities-and-social-sciences/law/updates/publications/participatory-constitutionalism-and-the-agenda-for-change | 2023-10-03T14:20:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.922879 | 128 |

Retirement planning: three questions to ask your potential financial advisor
Retirement is one of life’s biggest financial decisions. But most of us feel off track in our planning. In fact, a recent survey by the personal finance platform Unbiased shows that only 21% of consumers feel confident regarding financial planning.
Other studies show the same. Independent studies have shown that approximately half of all Americans fear they cannot afford retirement. The same survey found that more than half of all consumers feel too intimidated to seek financial advice from an expert, even if they need it.
Simply put, for most of us, the idea of consulting with a financial advisor is too intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Keeping your retirement on track with a financial advisor
For the upcoming generation of retirees, the idea of a pension coming from a company they worked at for 30 years is a tale from their parents’ generation or one straight out of a fantasy novel. Instead, today’s upcoming retirees must rely on years of strategic planning and saving to afford a comfortable retirement.
If approached the right way, working with a financial advisor on a retirement plan, whether in your 30s or decades later, can help you live an enjoyable life after retirement.
Planning for retirement does not have to be as daunting as taking out a mortgage or even preparing your tax return. Speaking with the right financial advisor can simplify the process, help take the stress out of planning, and ensure your retirement plans are on track for later in life.
While there is no shortage of financial advisors ready to take on new clients, when it comes to your financial health in retirement, you must choose the right advisor for your specific needs.
3 questions to ask your financial advisor
Thankfully, it’s easier than ever to match with a financial advisor. And once you’ve found them, you’ll usually have an initial meeting to get acquainted and ask all your burning questions.
We recommend starting with these three:
1.Do you have a track record of success?
Yes, this may sound obvious, but not all advisors are alike.
As you review potential advisors, ask them to provide examples of their results and how they compare with industry benchmarks.
Remember, it is up to the advisor to win your business, not the other way around. So what can they show you to prove they know what they’re doing?
2.Do you have customers in my age range?
The saying “age is just a number” does not always hold, especially when seeking a financial advisor.
While you want to find an experienced advisor, what is equally important is their experience with people in your age bracket. For example, someone in their 30s is most likely thinking about retirement differently than someone in their late 50s.
3.How wealthy is your current clientele?
In today’s society, we often avoid discussing our income level, savings, and investments. The opposite is true when working with a financial advisor.
While the advisor will want to know your complete financial profile, it’s equally important that you have an idea of their current client base. Similar to the age range of their clients, you’ll want to work with an advisor who has experience with people with the same income and savings level. If their client base is far below or above your income level, the advisor may not have the experience you need to meet your retirement goals.
The list of questions you ask your potential financial advisor shouldn’t be limited to these three. You will also want to find out more information around costs, qualifications, and services.
However, checking with an advisor on their track record for success, along with the age of their customer base and financial resources, is a solid place to start.
Finding your perfect financial advisor
Knowing the questions you should ask when choosing a financial advisor is a big step in the right direction, but starting the search can feel daunting.
A quick search in Google will yield pages upon pages of results, most filled with paid ads from advisor firms taking a shotgun approach to bring in new customers. Luckily, some alternatives can simplify the advisor search.
Unbiased, which launched in the U.S. earlier this year, is one such option.
The Unbiased personal finance platform connects you with a financial advisor based on your economic standing, age, goals, location, and other factors. Unlike many of the established financial websites in the U.S., which aggregate and sell leads to financial advisors, Unbiased custom pairs you with a single advisor.
As a result, you can seek financial guidance, knowing your financial advisor aligns with you and your goals. Constant calls from multiple advisors giving you the hard sell on taking a meeting can become a thing of the past.
Better still, while there may be a cost when you begin working with an advisor, connecting with them through most qualified platforms is free.
Make confident financial decisions
While saving for retirement is a key reason for someone to seek an expert financial advisor, those at Unbiased are capable of helping their customers with a wide range of financial matters, including advice on buying a home or investment property, investment accounts, and more.
Unbiased is also known as a leading financial information resource for consumers. It provides users with a free, comprehensive library of information covering various financial topics to empower people to confidently make financial decisions.
With many in the U.S. citing money and their pending retirement as a source of stress, having a financial plan in place for retirement under the guidance of an expert can offer feelings of freedom, empowerment, and peace of mind.
Remember, as we get older, it’s not just our physical health we need to be mindful of; our financial health is just as important.

How To: 4th of July Picnic with Sprinkles + Confetti!
Summer is here, and we are here for it. As Minnesotans, we wait patiently all winter to enjoy the nice weather and spend time outside during the summer. I can honestly say that summer is filled with some of my favorite activities … boating, fishing, bonfires, rodeos, and hosting family gatherings at the lake. One of my favorite gatherings each summer is 4th of July! I love seeing friends and family gather around sharing stories, laughs, and enjoying the freedoms we have - a HUGE thank you to our military men & women for your service!!
This month’s blog post is all about easy hosting tips to make your 4th of July party a breeze. Most of my parties have elements of thrifted items and paper goods. I love taking the time to source all kinds of items and finding unique pieces to showcase. The thrill of the hunt makes me come alive, but it takes time that sometimes I just don’t have! SO what do I do when I don’t have the time to go around sourcing the paper good items?! I email a friend who always has me covered!
This month, I’ve teamed up with my friend from Sprinkles & Confetti, and we are bringing you a special hosting how-to to get you geared up for a super easy 4th of July picnic. But before we get started ... have you heard of Sprinkles & Confetti?! My girl, Jackie, is a party guru who helps party hosts throw simple & stylish seasonal occasions! Her website is FILLED with the cutest party supplies, and she has made it super easy by making it a one-stop-shop! Jackie helps her clients pair colors & patterns effortlessly, making your party prep easy and simple while wowing your guests!
A URL in the search bar and a couple clicks later … and I have a customized box of party goods that gets shipped right to my door! Now THAT’S convenient!!
Are you hosting a 4th of July party for family and friends this year? Follow these simple steps to create a gathering that’s easy to prep but will bring the WOW factor this July!
List your needs and purchase accordingly.
Before ordering, I always evaluate my menu and needs. For this picnic, I knew I would need plates and napkins, along with some type of decorative containers to dress up basic items. Jackie suggested the favor bags and food cups, and I just loved those suggestions! Along with a dinner napkin, I also added a cocktail napkin for dessert use. When eating outside and away from a water source, extra napkins are a must!
I truly believe that more is more when it comes to party supplies. Mixing and matching colors & patterns adds interest and layers to your party. Don’t be afraid to use stripes & polka dots, & stars! When it comes to mixing patterns well, watch the scale of the pattern. Medium polka dots paired with large stripes and small stars is a win in my book!
Dress up the basics.
To keep items in line with your theme and aesthetic, I always suggest replacing any existing packaging or containers with products that fit your theme. For this picnic, I made individual servings of chips using the favor bags and then closed them with silver washi tape. I then placed store-bought cupcakes into the food cups, hiding the existing paper wrapper. I also poured lemonade into lidded glass bottles and wrapped our sandwiches in white parchment paper.
***You can also use items to contain other items. For my picnic, I used the favor bags to create patriotic utensil bags. Slip a napkin in back and pair with your favorite cutlery!
Add in some details
Last but not least, add in some details that make a statement! I thrifted a vintage picnic basket, a two-tiered wood serving tray, a neutral striped blanket, and a vintage USA flag. I love adding some old items with some new. It keeps things interesting and helps tell your party story!
For all your 4th of July paper goods and party supply needs, head to Sprinkles & Confetti! I hope y’all have a wonderful and safe 4th of July! | <urn:uuid:b12146fb-05b3-4a49-8581-66ad7ce15bd8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.uncommoncs.com/single-post/how-to-4th-of-july-picnic-with-sprinkles-confetti | 2023-10-03T14:40:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.947139 | 894 |

Maritime Robotics has signed a contract with Ørsted, making them the supplier and integrator of the built-in Autonomous Navigation System (ANS) for Ørsted’s first fleet of uncrewed surface vessels (USV).
A new class of USVs
In late June this year, Ørsted announced the first USV in the industry for offshore MetOcean measurements. The USV has already been deployed and tested in the area where one of the first Norwegian offshore wind projects will be built. The vessel has proven its ability to deliver valuable insights on wind and seabed conditions which means Ørsted can deliver the best possible offshore wind projects in collaboration with its Norwegian partners.
The success of the first USV has resulted in the serial development of a new class of USVs that will include incorporated learnings from the prototype. As a continuation of the successful collaboration on the first USV, will the new class of USVs be built by Tuco Marine Group and the Autonomous Navigation System delivered by Maritime Robotics.
Broadened operational capabilities
The USVs, like the first USV prototype, are designed for continuous operation in the harshest offshore conditions for a year at a time. However, the new class will have broadened operational capabilities that include deep-water operations for future floating wind farms. The built-in autonomous navigation system enables the MetOcean USV to transit from shore at various levels of autonomy, offering several advantages over conventional solutions that rely on large specialized support vessels. Moving the control and navigation to an in-line-of-sight or beyond-line-of-sight remote control center removes the risk for offshore technicians whilst significantly reducing overall carbon emissions.
“This official recognition of our years of cooperation fills us with delight. This significant milestone highlights our shared commitment to innovation and excellence within the maritime industry. Through our collaborative efforts, we have harnessed cutting-edge technologies and leveraged our expertise to create a remarkable platform that will revolutionize offshore operations. Ørsted’s utilization of USV technology represents a major leap forward, enabling more efficient and sustainable solutions in the renewable energy sector,” said Eirik Hovstein, Maritime Robotics Chief of Business Development.
”Norway has a strong supplier base, ranging from heavy industry to high-tech, and Ørsted is working closely with a number of Norwegian suppliers to harvest the power of offshore wind, both in Norway and internationally. Maritime Robotics is a great example of how Norwegian companies can benefit from the build-out of offshore wind and deliver real innovation and value to the projects we’re developing with our Norwegian partners in Hafslund and Fred. Olsen Seawind,” added Sebastian Hald Buhl, Ørsted’s country manager for Norway. | <urn:uuid:04c0b549-aca1-4ac3-8a49-2a47792a79ce> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.unmannedsystemstechnology.com/2023/09/maritime-robotics-delivering-autonomous-navigation-system-for-usv-fleet/ | 2023-10-03T14:13:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.931835 | 578 |

Module 3: Viewing the smuggling of migrants video with a purpose
Students should be able to view the video critically. The skills the students need to do this will help them analyse and question the media that they consume. Media and information literacy is critical to engaging with the issues that surround content and empowers young people to participate in their communities.
- Define the purpose. The purpose is for the students to engage with the content in a post-viewing discussion. Tell them that they will be invited to ask questions, answer questions, challenge points of view respectfully and raise additional issues. At the end of the process, share the key messages in the discussion guide so students can have some closure on the main points.
- Set expectations. Explain to the students that they will have multiple opportunities to view the video, including during the debriefing session. Describe the video to help set expectations.
- The video is two minutes long
- The video contains metaphors that may directly refer to one thing by emphasizing, mentioning or highlighting another.
- Explain that some aspects of the video will be teased out or made sense of during the debriefing session
- Allow for special needs. Allow students with different learning styles and special needs to view in ways that make the content more accessible to them (e.g., by allowing them to sit closer to the screen, by enlarging the screen, by providing multiple viewing stations or by providing a headset).
- Provide multiple viewing opportunities. Play the smuggling of migrants video multiple times before holding the debriefing session. This helps students to notice specific details. During multiple viewings, invite the students to look for main ideas, climaxing scenes and embedded conflict. | <urn:uuid:57bc42c1-68fe-4d4a-9551-d006c89f94e3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.unodc.org/e4j/en/secondary/teaching-guide-migrant-smuggling/viewing-the-video-with-a-purpose.html | 2023-10-03T13:27:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.931476 | 357 |

Sam & Max: This Time It’s Virtual will feature a series-first (other than being in VR): creator Steve Purcell will voice a character in the game.
Purcell plays the voice of the animatronic head of Duncan B. Dills, creator of the Aquabears funtime park, in the upcoming adventure. But that’s not all – we also have a fresh new look at the title, straight out of today’s Upload VR Showcase! Check it out below.
The footage is taken from early on in the game when the titular duo are putting you through your paces. This Time It’s Virtual will feature classic gameplay elements familiar to fans of the series like taxing puzzles, just all done from a VR perspective. To that point, maybe don’t watch this clip if you don’t want to know how to solve one of the game’s challenges.
Sam & Max will first land on Oculus Quest this summer before coming to PC VR and PSVR headsets later down the line. Are you looking forward to the game?

Sewage separation system, Polkowice, Poland
Sewage separation system
Construction of storm water collectors at Przemkowska street in Nowe Polkowice is one of the stages of a big investment concerning the drainage of the district. Uponor Infra (former KWH Pipe) was a supplier of pipe systems PEHD Weholite SN8 within the diameter range dn 500÷1600mm. The storm water separation system was constructed in collaboration with NavoTech Inżynieria Środowiska. In the course of execution of the project the heavy and complex structures of concrete separators were replaced with the modern system of separation and pre-treatment of storm water in Weholite technology of diameter dn 3000mm.
Uponor Infra produced and delivered also the Weho manholes, which supplement the pipe systems. The application of unique technology of Weholite pipes and connection of elements of the manholes and pipes with the use of extrusion welding ensures their high quality and 100% tightness. Thanks to small weight the Weho manholes are easy to transport, unload and install. The manholes are delivered to the construction site as monolith structures with factory made connections, which allows to save the assembly time at the construction site and thus reduces the construction costs and ensures exceptional durability of their operation.
Despite very difficult winter conditions the works were carried out efficiently. The system was started up and released for operation in February 2013.

Butt welding by night of 900 mm pipes ensures stable operation of a district cooling solution in Copenhagen Harbour.
ProFuse pressure pipe line provides drinking water to cottage owners in islands near by Uusikaupunki
To rebuild an office building located in the heart of Amsterdam into 150 appartments in a relatively short time is definitely a big challenge.
Rapid action was critical when a sewage collector broke in Warsaw, Poland, causing a massive waste spill into the Vistula River. Uponor Infra’s crew worked 24 hours a day in order to stop the pollution of the river. A temporary pipeline was produced, delivered and connected in just eight days.
Thanks to swagelining technology, it was possible to carry out most of the water line modernisation works in the centre of the city of Łódź, in a built-up area, along traffic lanes with heavy traffic of motor vehicles and trams.
A sea outlet of treated wastewater was initiated in Swarzewo. It is yet another of the many environmentally friendly projects that have recently been carried out in Poland where PE pipes were used.
City of Lahti is building new neighborhood called Ranta-Kartano. While they were constructing basic infrastucture the city saw the possibilty to reserve some ground space for storm water management. Now there is a test running for different kind of storm water management. Uponor is involved with new type of storm water filter.
September 2018 saw the launch of the project for a stormwater drainage system in Rzeszów, almost 26 kilometres long, in the residential District of Budziwój, which partially coincides with the floodplain of the River Wisłok. One of the elements of this system is the retention canal. The project, scheduled for delivery by May 2020, will help to finally solve flooding problems which have been plaguing the residents of this region of Poland. | <urn:uuid:93a15eb6-1574-42df-a578-d12b44dc8b13> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.uponor.com/en-pl/infra/r/sewage-separation-system | 2023-10-03T13:18:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.947515 | 762 |
