How to Fix Overpronated Ankles
Updated February 17, 2023.
Ankle overpronation, often known as flat feet, is a natural occurrence that occurs when the arches of the foot roll inward or downward while walking. The foot strikes the outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates), shifting weight to the inner edge of the foot rather than the ball of the foot. Overpronation can also occur while standing, and pronation refers to the degree that the foot rolls inward toward the arch.
As such, it is easy to check for overpronation by dipping your feet in water and standing normally on a sheet of cardboard or paper. If your connecting arch fills more than half of the width of the impression, there's a good chance you have overpronation.
People who overpronate are more likely to sustain particular injuries and knee, hip, and back pain. This is because it creates more impact when the foot strikes the ground by disrupting the body's normal position. Overpronators, athletes especially, are more prone to overuse injuries.
Causes and Risk Factors of Overpronation
Flat feet and overpronation are often related and influenced by each other. Overpronation occurs when the muscles, ligaments, and plantar fascia (arch) of the foot are strained, overused, or worn down, causing the foot to flatten too much and roll inward as it contacts the ground. Sometimes people with flat feet are born with them. However, certain factors and circumstances might raise a person's risk of developing flat feet or weakened arches, which can contribute to overpronation.
The following are some examples of causal conditions and situations:
- Being overweight or obese
- Participating in any activity that requires striking the foot repeatedly on a hard surface for an extended period of time, such as running
- Wearing incorrect footwear
Can Overpronation Be Cured?
Yes, foot and ankle overpronation is curable. A doctor might suggest a variety of treatments to reduce pain and avoid re-injury. Treatment options for overpronation include the following:
- Selecting footwear the supports the arches
- Wearing orthotics or insoles for overpronation
- Exercising to strengthen the arches and the muscles that surround them
People who have been injured by overpronation can take efforts to prevent further damage. The fusion can take up to 12 weeks to properly heal, and no weight should be placed on the foot for at least half of that time. Because of the lengthy immobilization, physical treatment may also be required.
Footwear for Treating and Preventing Overpronation
Things to look for while choosing orthotics or footwear for overpronated feet include:
- Overpronation stability shoes These use a strong midsole motion control system known as a medial post, and sometimes ankle braces, to stabilize the foot and help with overpronation.
- Adequate cushioning Overpronation necessitates the use of specialized cushioning technology. Look for a foam that is both soft and springy while yet being stable.
- Limited flexibility Shoes with excessive flexibility will exacerbate your foot's natural tendency to roll inward. It's critical that your footwear keeps your feet secure.
- Reinforced heel counters These are a frequent component of stability shoes that provide maximal support for overpronated feet during a long run.
Wear your orthotics for overpronation only two to three times during the day, a few minutes at a time, for the first few days. Remove your orthotics in between wears to give your body a rest, and increase the time you wear them daily.
Exercises for Treating and Preventing Overpronation
A physical therapist is referred to a person with overpronation for strengthening exercises to correct pronation. These exercises for collapsed arches should help strengthen the muscles, help to lower loading forces, and reduce the pain of flat feet:
- Your feet should be together when you stand.
- Engage your calves by rising onto the balls of your feet.
- Lower down until you feel a stretch in your calves
- keep your knees straight but not locked.
- Lie down on your back.
- Wrap a resistance band around your legs, slightly above your knees.
- Raise your hips and push your knees out further.
- Maintain outward tension on the band as you return to the starting position.
- Begin with your right thigh parallel to the floor in a lunge position.
- Jump high and switch legs in mid-air, bringing the left leg forward.
- Land as softly as possible.
- Start skipping with your feet together, forcing your right knee up hard to raise you off the ground.
- Drive your foot back down toward the ground while keeping it flexed
- Repeat on the other side.
Other Ways to Treat Overpronation
Excessive pronation can be treated conservatively by realigning the foot using a stiff orthotic to realign the subtalar joint. This type of orthotic is typically worn indefinitely.
Another option is surgical reconstruction, though this is difficult and time-consuming. If surgery is required, it may take up to a year to return to your previous state.
When Should You See a Doctor for Overpronation?
A diagnosis can be made by a podiatrist, orthopedic surgeon, or physical therapist. If you are enduring pain or a persistent injury as a result of overpronation, you should visit a specialist, especially after self-correction treatments have failed you. | <urn:uuid:10efa14f-fb8c-46ef-9f2c-0dcd8cf4c59a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.upstep.com/a/blog/how-to-fix-overpronated-ankles | 2023-10-03T12:53:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.924425 | 1,173 |

One of the easiest kitchen decorating ideas to implement in today’s kitchen is to bring in some bright, bold, and contrasting colors. When you do this, your kitchen will immediately appear more dynamic and spacious. In addition, it will make your kitchen seem like a fun, exciting place to be. Here are some kitchen decorating ideas that are out there right now:
A great kitchen decorating idea is to use a contrasting color for every area of your kitchen. If you have a kitchen with a lot of stainless steel appliances, you may want to choose a red kitchen paint. Or if you have a kitchen that is filled with granite counter tops, you can have the paint color match those granite colors.
Another great kitchen decorating idea is to create an interesting geometric design. It doesn’t have to be a basic geometric pattern; it can be a more complex geometric pattern. Just add a little bit of color and imagination to it. For instance, paint a square or rectangle on the wall in a contrasting color. Now, add in a few black tiles and you have a fun geometric pattern. This type of kitchen design is becoming quite popular among those who like to have unique kitchen decorating ideas.
One of the most important kitchen decorating decisions you’ll ever have to make is what color to paint your cabinets. If you have a light color kitchen, then you’re in luck. You should choose a few different hues of kitchen paint so that your kitchen will appear more wide-ranging and colorful. For example, if you have a light blue kitchen, you can choose dark blues or even purples. However, if you have a kitchen that is composed mainly of stainless steel appliances, then you should stick to a white color for your cabinets. It will make your kitchen look neat and clean, while making it appear simple.
If you have a large kitchen, then you are going to need a lot of space to work in. One of the best kitchen decorating ideas is to install a bar in your kitchen. A bar adds a lot of character to the kitchen, since it makes it seem more formal. A barbell rack, a wine rack and a wine cooler will all help you to store your collection in an organized manner.
A buffet is another great addition to a kitchen. With a buffet you can display a variety of goodies such as candies, cookies, crackers and other sweets that you want to show off while waiting for people to arrive. However, if you have a small kitchen and cannot afford a buffet table, then perhaps a cooktop or barstool with a side serving counter would work better for your kitchen decorating ideas.
When it comes to kitchen decorating ideas, you do not have to limit yourself just to the kitchen. Almost every room in your home could use some updating. For example, if your living room is decorated with a bunch of knickknacks, then maybe you should look into replacing a few of them with things that your guests might enjoy instead. For example, maybe you should get rid of the TV and put in a couch or a loveseat so that you can have more room in your living room. Just be creative when it comes to kitchen decorating ideas. There is no reason to feel overwhelmed.
It is important that you also pay attention to how light or dark your kitchen is. This will make a difference when it comes to kitchen decorating ideas. A dark kitchen will make it difficult for you to work in because it can be difficult to see where you are going. However, a very bright kitchen will make it fun and easy to work in. A lot of kitchen decorating ideas are centered around the idea of making kitchens easy to work in. It may take some time, but eventually you will have a kitchen that you love decorating. | <urn:uuid:618ceee1-3ed6-4f54-8640-379465f3749f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.usefulhomedecorideas.com/cool-kitchen-decorating-ideas/ | 2023-10-03T14:57:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.959312 | 780 |

The 30-year-old former phlebotomist took over for Clare Crawley after the 39-year-old hairstylist got engaged to contestant Dale Moss within the first two weeks of production. In addition to bringing in Tayshia, ABC brought back four men — Peter Giannikopoulos, Noah Erb, Montel Hill and Spencer Roberston— who were sent home from the Palm Springs set before cameras started rolling. (The network vetted 42 men for the season, but ultimately picked 31 to meet Clare on night one.)
Us Weekly broke the news at the time that production reached out to the almost-suitors because a shakeup was going down on set. After Clare and Dale’s proposal, fans watched Tayshia meet her 16 remaining contestants and the four newcomers.
“I don’t remember the specifics, but it wasn’t terribly long … Clare and Dale went on their one-on-one and had their proposal, and then the show shut down for a couple of days and then Tayshia started right away,” Robert Mills told Entertainment Tonight. “[The four new men] were guys who were sort of in the hopper and ready to go and came in and then quarantined. There’s a lot of guys who either don’t make the show for various reasons or we’ve met through casting before, and these four seemed perfect for Tayshia. And they certainly made a splash.”
During her first night as the new lead, the Bachelor Winer Games alum handed out her first impression rose to Spencer.
“I couldn’t have asked for, like, a better group of men,” Tayshia gushed exclusively to Us ahead of her first episode. “I’ve always said that I want an older, more mature man that has depth and all of these guys have exactly that. It was, like, perfect.”
One man who won’t be scoring any roses from Tayshia? Her ex-husband, Josh Bourelle, whom she was married to from February 2016 to October 2017. While some fans were convinced her former spouse was set to make an appearance after a man is labeled as Josh in the closed captioning in a Twitter promo, Tayshia later shut down the speculation.
“I am dating 20 men on ABC, every single week, so the fact that we are continuously talking about my past relationship that was I don’t know, three years ago, I don’t get understand it,” she said via Instagram Stories. “He’s living his life, I’m living my life.”

In life, you have good and bad days; some things are favorable, while others are unfavorable. You get a large bonus or can’t find a parking place. You are sometimes lucky and at other times luckless. Your friend “touches” the numbers regularly; you never have won. There are also people whom you have heard of who are born wealthy and some who lose their fortunes. Health changes between well and sickness. Natural disasters kill thousands, but leave some untouched. Why?
Since the beginning these things have been going on. It was the same when Buddha lived; but he gave an explanation called the Dhamma. If you learn this Dhamma, then you will understand the worlds as unstable, disagreeable and impersonal, but comprehensible and controllable.
In the three worlds of existence, there are many beings and some are not very nice. The most nasty is Mara, who stirs up greed, hatred, anger that cause unwholesome actions. Mara’s companions, too, are not of good character; their despicable behavior is seen in the story of a passing demon giving the meditating Venerable Sariputta a great, earth-shattering whack on the head. And for no reason! Witnessed by Venerable Maha Moggalana, he later asked his friend if while meditating anything exceptional happened; Venerable Sariputta replied that nothing happened, however, he did have a slight headache! If this demon had the power and audacity to disturb the “Marshall of the Dhamma,” certainly others can play with normal persons like a kitten with a ball of string.
While the Venerable Sariputta had strong meditative powers for protection, lay people must rely on other methods given by Buddha for protection. These methods are called Parittas.
Paritta is the Pali word for a protective spell. Their result is the prevention of bad luck, misfortune, the warding off of the influence of malignant beings, and to promote healing. The power of the parittas exists by their ability to strengthen the mind. They are the mind’s seat belt keeping it safe in collisions with dark forces. Reciting, writing, holding, wearing, thinking or listening evokes the protective powers.
Parittas are recited for specific or general protections. The parittas will clear your mind, focus it, arouse mindfulness and wholesome thoughts, preventing the entering of demonically induced negative influences.
May all misfortunes be warded off, may all ailments cease; may no calamities befall you; may you live long in peace.
May all blessings be upon you. May all devas protect you.
By the protective power of all Buddhas, may wellbeing constantly be yours.
By the protective power of all the Dhamma, may wellbeing constantly be yours.
By the protective power of all the Sangha, may wellbeing constantly be yours. (Devaradhana)
Parittas may be written on cloth, engraved on metal or impressed in clay, all often containing icons of Buddha or famous monks. These amulets shield the owner from evil. Parittas also appear in tattoos, at all times and in all places providing a person with protective powers.
In Sri Lanka, the Pirit Potha, (The Book of Protection), is a collections of parittas considered of great power. The Pirit Potha contains twenty-four suttas abstracted from the Pali canon. The book originated as an introductory summary for novice monks, but has now taken on a very different role. The book alone protects a household and is kept along with reverend objects.
Buddha taught that every problem arises in the mind. The mind is affected by the six senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, bodily sensations, and thoughts. These are the portals by which evil may be prompted. (Evil spirits do not “hijack” the individual like in the novel The Body Snatchers.) The parittas help you guard your sense doors and strengthen your virtue (sila); a mind strong in virtue is impenetrable to maliciousness. As a result, you refrain from evil, do good, and purify your mind.
To have a good day, to appreciate other’s success and outwit devils, you should recite this paritta:
Aham avero homi abyapajjho homi anigha homi sukhi - attanam pariharami
(May I be free from hatred,
physical suffering and
may I happily take care of myself.)

21st Century Preparatory School Visits UW-Parkside for Natural and Health Sciences Day
Students from 21st Century Preparatory School in Racine visited the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, Friday, Oct. 6. The students were from Mr. Jamian Knuth’s science class. The outing was part of a grant called “Protecting America’s Water” through the EPA and Greening School’s Network. The students were invited to Parkside to participate in a Natural and Health Sciences Day sponsored by the College of Natural and Health Sciences. Students participated in outdoor, hands-on environmental science activities with Laura Schulz, Director of the Root River Environmental Education Community Center (REC). They explored various parts of campus, specifically looking at environmental science topics, including soil sampling. The students also learned about various career opportunities in the natural and health sciences.
21st Century Preparatory School is a public school that is charter certified through UW-Parkside and has continued partnerships with admissions, and faculty such as, Laura Schulz, and Dr. Bryan Lewis. Mr. Knuth called the Parkside partnership “crucial for the lifeline of our school” to extend real-life learning experiences. “The Natural and Health Sciences Day was a continuation of the grant with Dr. Julie Kinzelman, but also a truly integral aspect of authentic learning with experts in the field.” | <urn:uuid:dcb68e25-e9d8-4c64-9d51-a9186d33a5d2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.uwp.edu/explore/news/21st-century-preparatory-school.cfm | 2023-10-03T14:06:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.956238 | 293 |
Should West Central Florida residents expect to see tornadoes this summer as a result of strong thunderstorms and hurricanes? While we do not receive the same type of advance warning for tornadoes that we usually do for hurricanes, it is still possible to take steps to ensure that your home can withstand, as much as possible, the strong winds of a damaging tornado. And if we were to gain a better understanding of when tornadoes are likely to strike and the type of damage they might create, Florida homeowners could be even better prepared. That is one of the aims of Vortex SE, a project with $5 million in research backing that is designed to provide insight into “how environmental factors characteristic of the southeastern United States affect the formation, intensity, structure, and path of tornadoes in this region.”
In addition to learning more about tornado formation, Vortex SE researchers are also interested in developing better systems to inform the public of impending tornadoes and to analyze public response when dangerous tornadoes make landfall. What else should residents of West Central Florida know about Vortex SE and how it could help residents of Tampa, for instance, to better manage the threat of tornado damage?
Florida Has the Third-Highest Rate of Tornadoes on Average
Tornadoes are not typically associated with Florida in the same way that hurricanes are linked to the state. However, as a report in the Palm Beach Post clarifies, Florida actually “has the third highest number of tornadoes on average per year nationally.” Indeed, between 1985 and 2014, there were an average of 59 tornadoes in Florida per year, placing it third behind only Texas and Kansas, which are both part of “Tornado Alley.”
Given the frequency of tornadoes in Florida, and in West Central Florida in particular, the state’s weather patterns were of particular interest to those working on the Vortex SE project.
More Tornadoes in the Southeast are Deadly Compared with Tornadoes in Other Parts of the Country
A major impetus for the Vortex SE research is the fact that more tornadoes in the southeast result in serious and fatal bodily injuries when compared with tornadoes that make landfall in other parts of the country. To be sure, the Vortex SE project highlights how “the number of killer tornadoes in the southeastern U.S. is disproportionately large when compared to the overall number of tornadoes throughout the country.” What is the reason for this? Researchers have some educated guesses, which include the following:
● More nighttime tornadoes;
● Tornadoes occurring in rugged terrain;
● Tornadoes occurring prior to the perceived onset of tornado season;
● Lack of visibility when tornadoes make landfall;
● Inadequate shelter when tornado warnings are issued; and
● Larger population densities.
Part of Vortex SE’s role is to clarify why tornadoes are deadlier in the southeast and to help raise awareness among the public about the risks not only of property damage from tornadoes, but of serious bodily injury. While tornadoes do not tend to be as deadly in Florida, statistically, as in certain other states, these storms nonetheless produce devastating home and property damage.

The summer months are perfect for relaxing, getting outside, and spending time with the family. However, this time of year can also be incredibly hot. When you need cooling relief, you depend on your air conditioner to perform. Nothing compares to feeling that cool blast from your HVAC system!
As your AC unit works tirelessly to keep you comfortable, problems can happen at any time. While there are several AC issues to consider, thermostat problems are some of the most common. No matter what thermostat issue you are dealing with, Vaughan Comfort Services is here to help!
To learn more about our air conditioning and thermostat repair services, contact us today to speak with a skilled HVAC expert.
Is your thermostat not changing the room temperature? If so, you are dealing with one of the most frustrating thermostat issues. Luckily, troubleshooting the problem is fairly simple! This malfunction is likely due to the following:
If you notice that none of the above issues are happening, it seems another type of malfunction is going to occur. To ensure your thermostat and cooling system stay working as they should, Vaughan Comfort Services is here for you. We will examine your thermostat to find a quick and stress-free solution!
Unfortunately, there are several reasons why a thermostat malfunctions. If you are dealing with a faulty thermostat and your home is uncomfortable, finding cooling relief is a top priority.
Check out the following common reasons why your thermostat fails to work properly:
If your thermostat is not working at all, it could be due to your HVAC system. While some thermostats are powered by batteries, others run off energy from your air conditioner. If this unit is not working, then this may cause your thermostat to do the same.
To troubleshoot this issue with your standard or programmable thermostat, check to see which type of thermostat you own and how it receives power. If it is battery-powered, try replacing your dead batteries with fresh ones. If the device is wired to the home, it is possible there is a tripped breaker. You can fix this issue by going to your breaker box and flipping the switch.
Another possibility is a blown fuse. If you suspect this issue, call an HVAC professional for help. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration suggests that unqualified personnel should not try to fix this problem, as it poses a safety risk.
Another common issue that many homeowners deal with is short cycling. Typically, an HVAC unit will go through three cooling cycles per hour, with each cycle lasting about 10 minutes. This means the AC compressor will work for 10 minutes and rest for 10 minutes, then this process repeats two more times every hour.
Short cycling occurs when this cycle is much shorter than it should be, causing the AC compressor to constantly turn on and off. This issue adds significant wear to your compressor, leading to cooling issues in the home. Unfortunately, this can also cause your thermostat to malfunction.
A dirty thermostat is another common culprit to consider. As these devices can last for several years, they can get dirty pretty easily. Whether it is dust, dirt, or other debris, these all can cause your electrical and mechanical components to malfunction. To solve the problem, give your thermostat a good cleaning. To accomplish this, remove the thermostat cover, clean the area with a small brush or compressed air, then replace the cover.
Do you have an old and aging thermostat? As most of these devices last for 10 years, it is important to replace them when the time comes. If not, you could deal with several problems, including a thermostat that stops working altogether. If you are interested in a brand new smart thermostat, Vaughan Comfort Services has you covered!
Another one of the common thermostat problems is when the device keeps turning or going blank. This could be due to a number of issues, including:
If you have a malfunctioning thermostat, check for a tripped breaker. Luckily, this issue can be solved with a flip of a switch! All you have to do is head to your breaker box and flip the tripped breaker to the normal position. If your thermostat display still looks blank, there could be another problem on your hands.
Dead thermostat batteries are another common issue to consider. However, this is also an easy fix. Simply remove the battery cover and replace the batteries, which are typically AA or AAA. If you are still having the same problem, it may be time to call a skilled HVAC technician from Vaughan Comfort Services!
If it is not the batteries or tripped circuit breaker, there may be wiring issues. However, unless you are an expert, you should leave this job to HVAC professionals. On many occasions, these specialists can fix wiring issues very quickly! Contact us today if you need assistance.
The older your thermostat, the higher the chance of experiencing problems. However, they should work properly for 10 years. If this time has come, consider purchasing a replacement. There are several high-quality new thermostat models today that provide a long list of features, and some even help you save on your energy bills!
Vaughan Comfort Services is here to keep you comfortable all year long! If you are experiencing issues with your thermostat, we can look at your thermostat settings, check the batteries, and examine your cooling system. When you choose us for your HVAC service needs, you can always count on us for a job well done. We can even help you improve your indoor air quality!

Rudy's Vegan Butchers is the latest addition to Selfridges as the vegan business opens its second location in London.
Vegan steak at Selfridges? That’s right, Rudy’s Vegan Butcher is moving in!
Rudy’s made waves when it opened its first location in London last year, selling out on the first day after serving a neverending queue.
Now, the iconic vegan butcher shop has opened in Selfridges’ flagship store on Oxford Street.
This is a huge step up for Rudy’s and presents the business with the opportunity to appeal to a whole new audience.
The plant-based meat producer is now serving up vegan meats in the store’s famous food hall, with a range of charcuterie including Pastrami, Salami, and Mortadella, and meaty classics such as Meatballs, Ribz, Burgers and Baycon.
At the deli, you can also find specials such as the Pie of the Day, Rudy’s famous Ruben’z, Mac & Cheeze, and a Veatball Sub.
‘A new step’
Announcing the news on Instagram, Rudy’s wrote: “We are so excited for this new step and we can’t wait for you to visit us and see all the surprises we have for you!”
This is certainly a big step for the vegan butcher, and their success demonstrates the huge demand for vegan meat alternatives in the UK.
In fact, a vegan butcher in Nottingham received the same level of enthusiasm for its products upon opening in March this year.
Named Faux, the vegan butcher shop wasn’t prepared for the overwhelming demand and sold out for three consecutive days.
‘The bigger picture of veganism’
Speaking to Vegconomist, Rudy’s founder Ruth Mumma explained:
“Our aim has always been to start a conversation about the bigger picture of veganism, as well as get customers excited for Rudy’s. Our concept and our food is both a celebration and education of all things vegan.”
We can’t wait to head down to Rudy’s counter in Selfridges. And if you buy something this week, you’ll get a free Rudy’s tote bag!

Nan Tien is Chinese for Southern Paradise. Just 90 minutes south of Sydney, this southern paradise is the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest Buddhist temple and Australia’s first government accredited tertiary institution grounded in Buddhism values and wisdom.
The Nan Tien Temple stands with a sense of serenity firmly amongst the trees near Wollongong, just a 90 minute drive south of Sydney.
The Southern Hemisphere’s largest Buddhist temple offers retreats and workshops for those interested in learning about Buddhism, touring the temple, or simply spending a day relaxing. Walk-ins are also welcome.
After visiting the temple with friends I was inspired to learn more about Buddhism and spend more time in the temple soaking up all of that calm, positive energy, so it wasn’t long before I secured my spot for their One Day Retreat (the next available being months away after the sold out dates – so bookings are a must!).
My roommate and I drove down from Sydney early on a Saturday morning. As we walked up the stairs and into the reception area, the overall sense of peace and quiet was hard not to feel. We were early so I took the opportunity to read about meditation from various booklets sitting in a small bookcase lining one of the walls. Once our diverse group gathered we were welcomed by a friendly volunteer. We signed in and attached name tags, then we all sat down and watched a video introducing the principles of meditation. The recording was dated but the principles more relevant than ever.
Our retreat was lead by Reverend Lee, a young Buddhist nun with a calm and compassionate aura who was patient, wise, refreshingly funny, and encouraged us all to go slower, deeper, wiser.
Our day went a little like this..
9.00-9.10 | Registration and introductory film to meditation
9.10-9.20 | Walking Meditation – We were given the task of walking mindfully to the Meditation Hall, paying careful attention to and counting each step along the way. Any time our mind wandered we had to start counting from the beginning. What number had I reached by the time we stood outside the meditation hall? Four.
9.20-10.00 | Introduction inside the Meditation Hall involved learning how to sit mindfully and discussing the fundamentals of meditation, as well as going through what the day would hold.
10.00-10.20 | Tai Chi in the courtyard was an interesting experience. My first attempt at this physical form of meditation left me feeling calm and reenergised. I used to think the folks practicing Tai Chi in the park looked a little kooky but after learning how to combine the slow and gentle martial arts based moves with controlled breathing for myself I totally got it!
10.20-10.40 | Morning Tea was served which gave us a chance to have some tea/coffee and biccies and a short break before the first meditation session.
10.40-11.30 | Basic Meditation in the Meditation Hall was an easy beginner-level guided meditation.
11.30-12.40 | Lunch in the Dining Hall was a lesson in mindful eating. We were encouraged to pay special attention to what we chose from the unlimited buffet, filled with plenty of healthy sautéed mixed veggies, steamed greens, deep fried capsicum, rice, noodles, tofu and fresh orange slices. We were encouraged to be mindful of each sensory experience, from the cool metal of the cutlery to the smells and tastes of each mouthful. We paid special attention to the sight, smell, sounds, feel and tastes of mealtime as well as being thankful for the process involved before the food even made it to the buffet table. The cooks who prepared it in Nan Tien’s kitchen, the truck driver who transported the produce from farm to kitchen, the farmer who planted the seeds and harvested the crops.
12:40-1.00 | Walking Meditation around the temple grounds straight after lunch was a good way to walk off any food comas. We counted each step again and I was able to make it to double digits this time so I noted that the workshop was helping to improve my zen somewhat.
1.00-2.00| Our Temple Tour was led by Bob who managed to be both educational and hilarious. One of the many times we slipped up and broke our Noble Silence for the day was during Bob’s example of the meaning of integrity. To cut a long story short, Integrity is preparing a nice salad for your party guests and not double dipping the taste-testing spoon while your guests aren’t looking!
2.15-3.00 | Our last Meditation session was conducted similarly to the first session but felt a little easier after all of the practice we had been working on throughout the day.
3.00-4.00 | Discussion held after the last meditation session helped us reflect on what we had learned and ask any questions.

Las Vegas, NV, USA – Drone technology pioneers Verge Aero and Drone Stories joined forces in October to deliver an incredible, perfectly programmed show to mark the 25th anniversary of Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas.
The milestone event, created for EDC producers Insomniac Events, saw 600 LED-enabled drones launch above the famous Kinetic Field stage, programmed to choreograph into an array of mid-air imagery including the EDC 25 messaging, festival emblems and huge dancing figures. More than 500,000 party people enjoyed this year’s festival over three nights, dancing to world-renowned EDM DJs.
“We figured that we needed to do something special for our 25th anniversary, so we came up with a drone show, with next level designs,” says Rutger Jansen from Insomniac. “Working with Drone Stories is really easy because we have the same mindset. We wanted to take this further than what everybody else is doing.”
The drone show for EDC 25 was the result of a longstanding relationship between Lucas van Oostrum, owner of Drone Stories, and Jansen, and followed two years of discussions and planning. The Insomniac team had also recently seen Verge Aero’s drones in action at the San Bernadino event, Day Trip, which took place over Fourth of July weekend 2021 and, as Verge Aero’s Nils Thorjussen says, they had been “impressed”.
Drone Stories then developed designs for the drone show, using its own fleet of 600 Verge Aero drones, which it says are “flawless”. Drone Stories is known for its collaboration with DRIFT on the Franchise Freedom starlings murmuration drone art piece, and for orchestrating magical drone shows for clients like NASA, Disney, and Samsung.
“Verge Aero has been a great supplier of the hardware, they fly very precisely and form a canvas on which we can create our stories,” says Lucas van Oostrum. “This is due to both their weight, and the RTK GPS which are built in the drones. The drones keep correcting themselves in the air, so that they can accurately execute complex and dynamic flightplans.
“The main challenges were around the number of drones, the coordination of such a large team operating on the show, and on the timing of the show. We needed to fly at a set time, which could not be a second earlier or later. This means that if a drone has not picked up their signal, we need to fly without it. Usually, we can wait and go five minutes later, but in this case the music at the stage would already have started, so we would not be synced if we waited. Our technical team has made this timing perfect.”
“We delivered 600 drones at exactly the right second via timecode trigger,” says Thorjussen. “It’s a nice validation of our technology and roadmap. We have designed the Verge Aero drones and programming to make it possible to execute bigger shows in a safe and efficient manner. The system has been designed from first principles to scale and we’re now doing it. It’s very rewarding to see it all come together.”
van Oostrum continues: “The Verge Aero team is very flexible, fast, experienced and thoughtful which makes working with them a pleasure. Also, our teams fit well together with the pilots, which means that we together have a very efficient way of working, to execute the shows successfully.”
The drones’ pilot on the night was Verge Aero’s Director of Show Operations, Mason Hayes.
The drone show prompted scores of positive reactions online and in the EDM press, with revellers taking to social media to share what they had seen. One commented, “the craziest sky show I’ve ever seen … the effects they pulled off were pretty crazy. I’ve never seen anything like it before.”
Dance music bible EDM.com raved about the show on their site: “As attendees decompress the surreal weekend and the memories begin to crystalize, one will go down as a timeless ‘you had to be there’ moment: the drone show. In a music festival that featured the world's best DJs and more fireworks than a Fourth of July bash at the White House, the unquestioned pièce de résistance was the coordinated drone performance.”
The Drone Stories and Verge Aero team also flew three shows at EDC Orlando in mid-November. “Every drone took off and did exactly what it was supposed to do,” adds Thorjussen. “This is quite a technical feat. Most of the time when you look at drones shows, there are pixels missing or abnormalities of some kind. Earlier in our development, this was the case with us as well. But we continue to evolve our technology and capabilities so shows get better and better. Perfection is now the standard.” | <urn:uuid:2446a832-6fb0-4187-80a7-9283fcc953f1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.verge.aero/news/edc | 2023-10-03T12:53:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.961263 | 1,048 |
Although we have significantly increased our driver base and bonus pay levels consistently each year, we continuously review and evaluate all of our driver pay programs. We are excited to announce that we have made measurable changes to both our 2022 Driver Stop and Driver Detention pay levels.
On top of the significant driver pay increases to our West Coast Service-Region pay for the 2022 Summer Peak Season, we are also making changes to our Team Driver Base Pay Rates. All of this is in addition to the 2022 Stop Pay and Detention Pay increases for Solo and Teams.
We have significantly increased our West Coast Service-Region driver pay for the 2022 Summer Peak Season. The Summer season is our busiest time of every year with higher customer freight demand levels and increased volumes. Peak Season is relatively short and runs through seasonal produce demand each year during Summer month(s).
We’re very excited to announce that Van Eerden Trucking has been awarded the EPA’s prestigious SmartWay Excellence Award for 2021! This isn’t the first time we’ve been the recipient of this award, but each time we do, it becomes more meaningful as it reinforces that our own emissions standards and quality expectations continue to align with the EPA’s highest environmental performance standards.

I grew up in Taormina, the Pearl of the Mediterranean, I was 18 when I moved away. However, summer, though, for me has always meant at least seven days in my town where I have old friends, and where I know all the streets by heart.
My nest, perhaps the only place where I really feel at home, where life is that typical of small towns where even if I have not been seen for years.
It’s enough to go around on the Vespa to be recognized even with a helmet and sunglasses on.
Yet never like this year, given the absence of exactly two years, have I started to notice things that perhaps those who come here for the first time would notice right away, and sometimes the eyes of those who live in it take for granted. Small beautiful details, corners, entrances of houses, alleys, passages.
From wherever you are looking the panorama is worthy of the nickname that over the years continues to elect it a TOP destination in Sicily.
Not only in summer but also in winter, the snow-covered Etna that lies on the coast where Catania rises, that had inspired the famous painting by Otto Geleng, is reason enough to come to this small village perched on Mount Tauro overlooking the sea.
On the one hand, the Calabrian coast, on the other the most active volcano in the world. From wherever you are facing, the view is unique.
The village winds around for streets and lanes, arteries of the main road: Corso Umberto where top fashion boutiques alternate with jewelry shops and some souvenir stores.
The Corso, amicably called “the tub” by the inhabitants of Taormina, is crowded from June until the end of August, especially on weekends, by the locals and tourists coming from all over the world.
The walk can start at Porta Messina, the arch that looks toward the north, thence Messina, or Porta Catania – the second arc that looks to the south.
To the right and left along the course, stairs … everywhere.
Among which, the narrow alley, the name speaks for itself, flowering balconies and plants and lush colorful flowers housed in heads of Moors, vases in the shape of heads with strong Arab colors and faces of dark colors, in ceramic or earthenware. Colored terraces of typical ceramics, the very beautiful Piazza IX Aprile of which sight is worth the slalom, or way of the Cross, as I call it, of the Corso also on 15 August.
Taormina is not by the sea, it is above the sea, at 200 meters.It dominates and leaves, to Giardini Naxos, Letojanni and Mazzarò the arduous task of welcoming the tourists that every summer flock to the beaches in August, which become a bit too full for my taste.
Yet Taormina is attractive, even when in August to go forward 10 meters will take you 10 minutes because you will remain bottled up in the crowd. Everybody is dressed elegantly, in high heels, fashionable clothes.
Premises close when the sun rises, the restaurants stay open late. Midnight is the hour to go out if you dine at home. Sometimes even at 1 am, you never know at what time you will go home. I have stopped asking myself.
The great thing about this village is that taking the steps down or up will take you to quiet corners in which to escape if the crowd of Corso Umberto gets too much.
In this way, you shy away towards the beautiful square of Varò, with the stone walls of the houses and the climbing bougainvilleas, and lemon and orange trees, the square lit by large lamps that give off a warm light.
Same style and just as beautiful and intimate although very central The Square of Carmine and the deconsecrated church where often are hosted art exhibitions and performances.
It is worth then a walk in the fairytale Public Gardens and a must stop at the lookout at the end of Via Pirandello, which presents you with a view of Isola Bella from the top.
It is worth then a walk in the fairytale Villa Comunale (Public Gardens) and a must stop at the lookout at the end of Via Pirandello, which presents you with a view of Isola Bella from the top.
Hidden but central the Naumachie, mauri in bricks of the Roman period that once was believed to be an aquatic circus in which the naval battles were represented (naumachia means, in fact, naval battle) but later identified as a fountain with water play.
The dominations can be felt and seen in the palaces as in its people.
Dark and deep eyes, the Saracens of today that are not far from the beautiful Sicilian fauns artistically photographed by von Gloeden who managed to capture the Sicilian in artistic nudes of priceless value when man fits perfectly in his place of origin.
Taormina is well-liked, and the whys are many.
Hard not to love this little quiet and elegant town overlooking the sea, which boasts among its treasures the Isola Bella, which I recommend to visit inside, the villa could surprise you, linked to the mainland via an isthmus of sand that appears and disappears depending on the tide, the Greek Theatre and the concentration of historical and archaeological artifacts that cannot escape not even the most distracted eye.
For a different afternoon, I strongly recommend considering a few hours up in Castelmola one of the oldest medieval towns in Italy.The higher you go the more beautiful the panorama becomes, and sipping an aperitif in one of the many bars of Castelmola at sunset is one of my favorite things to do with friends especially those who do not know Taormina. It might be that we islanders are proud in nature, it might be that the Taorminans are even more so, though … there hasn’t been any one time I haven’t thought that this cannot be the place where I would want to spend one day, my old age: right between the sea and the sky
Taormina is beautiful for walking around, enjoying the little and elegant town center spending time looking at the wonderful view of Mount Etna falling down into the sea. It’s a small town, 1 day could be enough for visiting it but then, once you get here, I bet you hardly leave!
When you get tired, if you get tired, of going to the sea, Isola Bella, Mazzarò, Fondaco Parrino, Villagonia, you can dedicate yourself to daily excursions.
Taormina, in fact, is located exactly halfway between Messina and Catania, hence the doubt for many of the province, Taormina is in the province of Messina, you can safely consider it as a base for organizing several excursions to do during the day including Catania, Siracusa e Vendicari, Tindari, Aciscastello e Acitrezza, l’Etna o Modica.
Today you will discover the town center and its gems.Here is the map of the walkStarting from Porta Messina, which introduces us to the Corso Umberto.
We immediately enter into Piazza Badia, where you will recognize the Palazzo Corvaja, today tourist information center and museum of folk arts, and the Baroque Church of St. Catherine of Alexandria in Egypt, dating back to 1600, which stands on the ruins of the Odeon, constructed, in turn, on the ruins of a Greek temple probably dedicated to Aphrodite. Under the floor of the church, there is a crypt, discovered during the restoration that took place in the 70s, in which they were originally buried, important people.After having breakfast with granita with figs at the BamBar, we head to the ancient theater of Taormina, which does not require many presentations.
The walk continues along the Corso Umberto with a stop at Piazza IX Aprile, from which you will enjoy one of the most beautiful views Sicily can provide you having behind the Church of St. Joseph, which was the seat of the Brotherhood of Purgatory souls, the reason why it will be easy to identify, in different parts of the facade and even into the church, human figures in the flames as a symbol of purification from sins.Keep on walking until you get to Piazza Duomo, built intone 1400 on the ruins of a small church of the Middle Ages and dedicated San Nicola di Bari.
On the way back, I recommend doing for internal road passing by the former Carmine’s church, now used as art exhibitions and Varò before getting back to Piazza IX Aprile.
About a hundred meters after the square, in front of the Unicredit Bank take the way on the stairways on the right, Via Naumachie, where you can sport the Naumachie, on your left, before reaching the public park of Taormina where you will enjoy a panoramic view of the Gulf of Giardini Naxos and Etna.
The Villa Comunale was once the home of Lady Florence Trevelyan, an English noblewoman cousin of Queen Victoria, who lived in Taormina since 1884 and married Prof. Salvatore Cacciola mayor of the town at the time.The park, which was a desire of Lady Florence, was built as a typical English garden with many species of rare plants and pretty special constructions, called victorian follies.
After dinner, follows the nightly walk along the Corso Umberto ending the day with a drink at the Morgana Bar.
We will spend the second day at the beach ending drinking an aperitive with a view!
Here is the map of the itinerary
Even if cold you can’t miss our wonderful bays and the world-famous Isola Bella!The beach is accessible by cable car, € 3 round trip, or through a path down the stairs walk starting from the Belvedere at the end of Via Pirandello.I also recommend paying a visit to the Bay of Mazzaro, which is the beach of the people of Taormina, and then spend the rest of the day to the Isola Bella (or the opposite).Lunch on the beach at the Lido La Pigna.
*** Note that both beaches can get incredibly crowdy during August
Return to Taormina and then drive to Castelmola where to make the aperitif, my choice goes to the Bar Turrisi, a pretty weird bar. On the way to Castelmola have a brief stop at the Church of the Madonna Rocca, a beautiful church built in the rock, if open is worth entering, it is tiny, from which see Taormina from above.
If you are in Taormina during summer is worth buying tickets for one of the events taking place at the Greek Theater to enjoy the Opera or the ballet in the most impressive scene in the world.For more info: Taormina Arte and Film Festival
Taormina lends itself excellently also to visit some tourist centers in eastern Sicily, for an idea of 7-day cruises having as base Taormina click here (a car is better!).
READ – East Sicily Travel Itinerary in 7 days
From spring to autumn Taormina is beautiful, indeed, I personally prefer among all the months, September.
It is then that the prices go down, the mass goes away, the seawater is still warm, Corso Umberto empties slowly until to fill up pretty much just during the weekend. August is the Terrifying and Delirious month.
Everywhere is full, restaurants, hotels, roads, kilometric queues that sometimes start from the motorway toll-gate up to the main parking lot of the city, Lumbi. Astronomical prices … even for those who live here.
Also, May and June are quite interesting. It’s the beginning of summer, prices start to be higher but yet not like in July or August, and you will have chances to enjoy huge empty beaches (mainly from Monday to Friday).
Taormina is a 12 months tourist destination, even in winter can be a nice base to discover the eastern part of Sicily.
You won’t swim, of course, but the climate is pretty temperate also during winter.
Taormina is beautiful and as often happens, good things come with high prices. For those on a budget, the best solutions are: either to stay in Giardini Naxos or in Letoianni and then pass the evenings in Taormina, or, if in more than two persons, to rent an apartment.In all cases, mainly if you are planning to visit Taormina during high season you better book well in advance. August fills up quickly, and, as early as June, it becomes difficult to find economic solutions but above all free and available.
Iancu Charme Aparment (Mazzarò) Elegant apartments close to the Bay of Mazzarò, ideal to spend the day at the beach and then go up to Taormina by cable car in the evening.
Hotel Villa Ducale (Taormina)A boutique hotel with fantastic views of the Gulf of Naxos overlooking Mount Etna.
The rooms are elegant and decorated in typical Sicilian style. There is also a small swimming pool, comfortable for days when you do not want to go to the sea.
Isoco Guesthouse (Taormina)The Guesthouse looks towards Capo Sant’Alessio and Calabria, is located near the center but in a quiet and peaceful area. Each room is dedicated to a different artist and therefore each with something special. All rooms have a sea view.

Art School Confidential has two not entirely unserious points to make: (a) most art sucks and (b) this is so because the controlling institutions are eminently corruptible. No surprise, then, that the film bombed at Sundance, where many in the audience must have had a hard time not taking personally its bilious attack on the strivers, poseurs, whores, and sellouts that hog the oxygen in any artistic ecosystem. Directed by Terry Zwigoff from a script by his Ghost World collaborator, comic artist Daniel Clowes, this bitter meditation on art and commerce is a corrective to the feel-good cynicism of last year’s Sundance smash Hustle & Flow, with its own pimptastic catchphrase to boot. In a hilarious fit of drunken career counseling, Jim Broadbent’s washed-up painter poses the big question to Max Minghella’s ambitious student: “Are you a ‘great artist’ when it comes to fellatio?” Clowes and Zwigoff spoke to the Voice the day after their movie’s premiere.
Have people here been reading the film as a Sundance allegory?
Daniel Clowes: Not as much as I’d have thought. I got the sense the audience wanted it to be that. And then it got too dark.
Is it a little disingenuous for successful artists to be taking a critical view of the art establishment?
Terry Zwigoff: You’re saying we’re successful artists?
Clowes: I don’t consider myself successful, certainly not within that art establishment. But my intent was never to say, “Artists are all fools and I don’t like art.” I love art, I live for art, but the things that make it difficult I’m not in love with. It’s about what success and lack of success does to you. It’s easy to say, “Oh, I’m never affected by that.” But it’s impossible not to be.
Zwigoff: People tend to see a misanthropic viewpoint behind anything that’s critical or discerning. People are just not critical enough in this culture.
At what stage in your careers did you realize the importance of, as the Jim Broad bent character puts it, “cocksucking”?
Clowes: I think it’s just a constant process, a cycle of becoming Jim Broadbent and then all of a sudden you’re Marvin Bushmiller [the school’s smug celebrity alumnus].
Zwigoff: I relate to Jim Broadbent’s character more myself.
Clowes: He’s a very comforting character, our talisman of failure. Failure in some ways is more empowering than success.
The movie proposes that the key to success is knowing how to talk about your art—more so than the art itself. How good are you at the salesmanship?
Clowes: We had a class where we had to get up and defend our work and the teacher told me, “You are truly the worst speaker I’ve ever seen.”
Zwigoff: You can see how articulate I am. It’s tough for me.
Do you think your portrayal of conceptual art is fair?
Clowes: I don’t want to come off like one of those Republicans picking on the NEA, like, “Oh this guy pissed on a crucifix and called it art.” That’s not what this is about. But when I was in art school, people literally were bringing in the tampon in the teacup.
Zwigoff: I’ve seen some great conceptual art.
Clowes: I’ve seen every kind of art that I like, but it’s the idea of following a school— “I do the triangle paintings.” That’s when the dog is eating its own tail.
Looking back now, how useful was art school?
Clowes: In terms of learning to do comics, almost not at all. But in terms of meeting people who became friends for life it was essential. People read my comics and say, “I guess you’re saying I shouldn’t go to art school.” And I always say they should. It’s where the weirdos of the world meet.
Terry, you didn’t go to art school?
Zwigoff: No, I never had the benefit. I have a B.A. in psychology from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where I spent four years smoking pot and avoiding classes.
And Daniel, have you dabbled much in teaching?
Clowes:One-off classes. Every three or four years I forget it’s something I should never do. I’m very nervous around young people. I know how mean I was then. I know they’re making jokes about my lack of hair. | <urn:uuid:2fddb2ca-8690-44fa-891e-7923d53905bb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.villagevoice.com/but-is-it-art/ | 2023-10-03T14:25:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.956177 | 1,073 |

• Payment on 8 June 2023 of a total final dividend of €24.9 million, representing €0.54 per share, bringing the total shareholder remuneration to €1.95 per share, 6.0% more than the equivalent remuneration in the previous year.
• José Domingo de Ampuero y Osma, Chairman of the Viscofan Group: "The Group has once again shown significant year-on-year growth in the main operating figures, reflecting commercial discipline and production efficiency. It should be noted that the transformation projects of our Beyond 25 strategic plan have obtained, in some cases, results even higher than initially expected. We have built a stronger Group that has been able to offset the most adverse cost environment in recent decades and is able to accelerate margin improvement in the second half of the year.
Thus, given the current average cumulative exchange rates, we expect to achieve the low-end of the guidance, except for the net profit, where exchange differences are lowering our growth expectations for the year to the range of 4% to 6% from the 10% to 15% initially planned. These results imply to reach all-time highs in revenue, EBITDA, and Net profit”.

Crabbing on the Outer Banks is a tasty way to make some of the best beach vacation memories.
From May to late fall, you can find locals and visitors of all ages doing their best to catch the region’s blue crabs that swim through the shallow waters of the Currituck Sound.
Officially known as Callinectes sapidus, which translates to “beautiful, savory swimmer,” blue crabs are a local delicacy. In May, when the blue crab sheds its hard shell to keep growing, you can find fried, soft shell crabs on nearly every Outer Banks restaurant menu. Come June, the shells have hardened. Most people steam them with a little bit of Old Bay.
Where to go crabbing on the Currituck Outer Banks
If you’ve always wanted to go crabbing on the Outer Banks, Currituck County offers some of the best places to catch blue crabs.
It’s an activity that families have enjoyed together for generations. With a little patience and the right equipment, you can enjoy a giant crab dinner with your friends and relatives.
“We treat our crab feasts like Thanksgiving,” says Hadley Twiddy, who grew up learning to crab with her family. “We sit, tell stories and eat plenty of crabs.”
Today, as the owner of Coastal Explorations, Twiddy teaches visitors how to catch blue crabs in the sound. Her company also offers sunset cruises, stand-up paddling lessons and kayak tours during the day and night.
A native of the area, Twiddy loves to share her knowledge of the barrier islands.
“Crabbing is great thing for kids to do on the sound,” she says.
Mature male crabs, called Jimmies, have blue-tipped claws while female crabs, Sooks, have red ones. The easiest way to distinguish the crabs is by looking at the apron on its underside. If it’s shaped like a Capitol Dome, it’s a female. If it looks like the Washington Monument, it’s a male.
You can take both male and female crabs home to eat, but they must meet specific size regulations set by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries. Male crabs and immature female crabs must measure at least 5 inches from tip to tip of the carapace (its shell).
Learn how to catch blue crabs during your Outer Banks vacation
On Twiddy’s crabbing tours, visitors get to try two different ways to catch crabs. “That way, there’s usually something to take home for dinner,” she says.
The simplest method to catch a blue crab is called handlining. It involves dropping a string with chicken meat or squid into the sound from a dock or a boat. If you’re lucky, you’ll feel a nibble and gently pull up a crab into a net before it swims away.
After guests have tried handlining, Twiddy takes them into the deeper water of the sound where bigger crabs tend to swim. Here, she uses baited, wire cages. A pot will sit for a couple days before Twiddy pulls them up during a tour.
“It’s kind of like Christmas,” she says. “You’re just hoping it’s stuffed with Jimmies.”
If you want to try crabbing on your own, Corolla Bait & Tackle has all the gear supplies you need for any method you want to try. For less than $25, you can rent enough crabbing gear for five people, according to owner Keith Cummings.
Corolla Bait & Tackle also offers crabbing excursions on its pontoon boats for visiting families. Up to 6 people can fit on a boat. If you want to book a crabbing trip during the summer, Cummings recommends making reservations in advance.
“Everyone loves to go crabbing in the summertime,” Cummings says.
Crabbing in the waters of the Currituck Sound
The public is welcome to crab at Historic Corolla Park. The 39-acre site includes the Whalehead in Historic Corolla, the Currituck Beach Lighthouse and the Outer Banks Center for Wildlife Education. Crabbers can drop their lines from the park’s wooden boardwalk. You won’t need a license for handlining but you can only take home 50 crabs per person. Check with the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries for guidelines on crab pots, harvest limits and whether you need a Recreational Commercial Gear License.
Many waterfront vacation homes have docks perfect for crabbing any time of day. If you’re staying at a canalfront home, you’ll also have access to the waters where blue crabs thrive.
Be sure to keep a cooler handy so your crabs stay fresh. The more humidity in the air, the faster crabs can perish. Hadley recommends covering crabs in a cooler with newspaper and sprinkling ice on top. “You don’t want to dump ice on them,” she warns. “It’ll freeze them.”
Finally, only cook crabs if they’re alive. You can throw dead crabs back in the water for another creature to eat. | <urn:uuid:166800f8-cb30-4d10-8c9b-63909c784bee> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.visitcurrituck.com/blog/lets-go-crabbing/ | 2023-10-03T13:05:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.935172 | 1,106 |

Leathers, brilliant tailoring and gorgeous corsets sat alongside signature knits at Louise Lyngh Bjerregaard's spring/summer 2022 presentation
Known for her delicate, artistic knitwear, today's Louise Lyngh Bjerregaard presentation — shown by way of a screening at an art cinema in Charlottenborg — proved the emerging designer has much more to offer than that. Yes, there were knits aplenty; An eggplant purple dress with 'transparent knit' holes and a matching intarsia knit set with an abstract bowling pattern. But there were also leathers, brilliant tailoring and gorgeous corsets, worn backwards and bursting at the seams.
The aesthetic seems devoid of time and place, at once painstakingly current and, at other times, something that might have existed a decade or two ago. Simultaneously artsy and eccentric, with moments of sensual appeal.

Classical review: Enigma concert fills the house
Reviewer: William Dart, NZ Herald
Monday 23 April 2018
The APO and VOICES NZ perform NZ composer Ross Harris’s new work, Face.
“One sensed justifiable pride when Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra CEO Barbara Glaser announced the Enigma concert had drawn a full house and, best of all, the programme included a major commission, shared with the BBC, ” writes William Dart.
Ross Harris’ Face pays tribute to the pioneering plastic surgery of Harold Gillies during World War I. Vincent O’Sullivan’s verses take care to convey history through the lives of its participants, and it was delivered under a subtly evolving Barry Cleavin image.
Face is a score of considerable solemnity, laid out between sonorous blessings from Voices New Zealand Chamber Choir. The restrained orchestral palette early on soon graduates to wild, scatter-gun outbursts, conveying the horrors of war, with numerous sinister marches, now familiar as a component of this composer’s musical armament.
The narrative for three soloists is relatively calm alongside this instrumental fury.
Henry Choo was impressive as the impassioned young soldier, not quite matched by Allison Bell as his young woman. While Harris surrounds the Australian soprano with a bower of beautiful effects, her raw vibrato in the upper register was disturbing. Alongside them, Joel Amosa exerted his usual strong presence as a voice of military and medical authority.
Face is the Kiwi centrepiece of a staunchly British evening.
First up, Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending featured a young Yanghe Yu as a thoughtful, sweet-toned soloist, only occasionally wanting in rhapsodic fervour.
Dutch conductor Antony Hermus, a model maestro in the first half, had the orchestra to himself for Elgar’s Enigma Variations after interval, giving an extraordinarily vivid reading, full of dash and intricate detail.
This work changed the landscape of English music in 1899 and Hermus seemed to underline the fact that, back then, it had burst out, unexpectedly, from a compower known for pretty salon pieces and sturdy, worthy monoliths. In this performance, there were ironic hints and echoes of both set around a spellbinding Nimrod variation.

Where: Auckland Town Hall

JILLAROOS v KIWI FERNS
GIO Stadium, Canberra
5.30pm, May 5
Friday, May 5 has been circled and marked with a cross in my diary for several months.
The moment I found out that the Australian Jillaroos would be playing the Kiwi Ferns in Canberra as part of Representative Round I knew that I had to make the trip down to watch my favourite Australian sporting team.
One of my favourite sayings when it comes to women's sport is: "You can't be what you can't see". Growing up as a rugby league fan, I'm still embarrassed that it never crossed my mind to ask my dad where the women playing rugby league were, or to ask why I wasn't able to play rugby league, or why there weren't more women visibly part of the rugby league family.
I think that at an early age I assumed that rugby league was a game for the boys and was content watching my men in blue and gold take the field each week, without thinking about the bigger picture - the bigger picture, which of course, involved women.
As I grew older, I was suddenly exposed to women's rugby league and I was impressed not just by the quality of play, but also the dedication of these women to the sport that they played out of love. Women like Kezie Apps, Ruan Sims, Allana Ferguson and Sammy Bremner now demonstrate to the next generation of young women that if they want to play rugby league at an elite level, there is very little stopping them.
So who wins tonight?
It has already been a big start to the year for the Jillaroos after they won their first series over the Kiwi Ferns at the Auckland Nines this year in a three-game sweep. The Jillaroos should be able to take some confidence from this, although the 80-minute version of the game is a completely different prospect.
Jillaroos coach Brad Donald seems to have taken this into account with a couple of familiar faces returning to the squad on Friday night. Whilst the squad that won the Auckland Nines was geared towards speed, favouring players like Chelsea Baker, Karina Brown, Allana Ferguson and Sam Bremner, the squad for Friday night is more balanced and features both speed and power.
The Jillaroos' forward pack will be boosted by the inclusion of women like Rebecca Young, Elianna Walton and in particular, captain Ruan Sims who returns for this game from injury.
One notable omission from the squad is Dally M Female Player of the Year, Kezie Apps who is still recovering from a broken leg from the Auckland Nines. Fortunately for Kezie fans, she has travelled with the team and has taken on a coaching/player manager role in the lead-up to the game.
Jillaroos players to watch: All eyes will be on the new Jillaroos halves pairing of Zahara Temara and Simone Smith who look set to make their debut tonight against the Ferns replacing Ali Brigginshaw and Maddie Studdon.
Simone featured in the Women's All Star team this February that, for the first time, beat the Women's Indigenous All Stars team. Simone was also named player of the match and impressed many rugby league fans with her play-making skills and speed.
This skill is going to be key in defeating a Kiwi Ferns team that new coach Tony Benson has promised will feature plenty of attacking football, second-phase play and 'playing what's in front of them'.
Karina Brown is also a player I'll be watching. In the corresponding match in 2016 Karina managed to score two tries. These were Karina's first tries in the green and gold and I'm hoping she manages another double on Friday night.
Kiwis Ferns players to watch: Keep an eye out for Teuila Fotu-Moala. Everyone knows Kezie Apps is the best second-rower in the women's game, but in a game that the Ferns have promised will focus on second-phase play, this young woman will be key to the Ferns' attack. Any woman with the nickname 'Jukebox' (because she always produces the big hits) is someone that the Jillaroos will need to keep an eye on.
Georgia Hale is my favourite player in the Ferns because she is a naturally gifted footballer. Georgia has previously represented New Zealand in touch and tag and is a serious speedster. She's come to be a player that the Ferns heavily rely on to help them play to a structure, and with new coach Tony Benson having promised that the Ferns will be playing a new type of attacking footy in this game, expect Georgia to be a key part in making sure that they stick to the game plan.
Ladies who League predicts: There is plenty on the line in this game, with both teams wanting to make a statement heading into preparations for the Rugby League World Cup which begins in October this year.
This is the first time that the men's and women's World Cup tournaments will be played alongside each other and presents a real opportunity for women's rugby league to take another step forward.
The game on Friday night gives players from both teams the opportunity to show their relatively new coaches how they perform in the full 80-minute version of the game, and while the Jillaroos will be keen to continue the momentum established with their series win at the Nines, the Kiwi Ferns will be desperate to get back into the winner's circle. | <urn:uuid:7d120ac6-447f-4fd6-acd5-cb6969bf9fcc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.warriors.kiwi/news/2017/05/05/preview-jillaroos-v-kiwi-ferns/ | 2023-10-03T13:13:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.974919 | 1,140 |

This service is ridiculously amazing. Being a digital nomad that doesn't have to worry about washing clothes, it gives me more time to see Chiang Mai and also have more time to focus on work. On top of someone doing my laundry, the pick up and delivery process is perfect.
I was on vacation in Chiang Mai and needed to wash clothes - laundry prices in the hotels are insane. After a quick search for laundry Chiang Mai when looking for an alternative I found WashDrop, their service is amazing. They pick up your clothes on time in your hotel and bring them back as well - all within a 60 minute window decided on by the customer. Everything worked out perfectly and the price is great.
Super service! Our clothes looked brand new, smelled very nice and felt very soft when they came back! Nothing went missing and they even managed to get rid of stains (which were there for months) and discolouration! The pick up and drop off service is very convenient and works just as described on website!

Green and black belt certifications in Six Sigma are generally for the senior managers or process owners that are capable of taking up leadership roles. Organizations like sixsigmatraining.us have designed customized courses for senior employees who have already received white or yellow belt certifications. sixsigmatraining.us has training courses that can be imparted through various models like classroom coaching, online or a combination of both.
A green belt certification helps professionals to develop in-depth insight of the core of Lean Six Sigma Methodology. He or she then can be entrusted upon for leading Six Sigma projects and can also work as an important team member of a more complex project. Black belt professionals are however expected to take up leadership roles in Six Sigma projects.
Green Belt professionals will have a thorough understanding of all aspects of the Lean Six Sigma methodology. They can also work as SMEs or subject matter experts wherein they can combine their domain knowledge and six sigma skills together to provide seamless integration.

Six Sigma Green Belt certification helps one to understand the process of implementation, interpretation, application and performance. A good sixsigmatraining.us institute will train them on these very important skills.
By earning a green belt, you are eligible to receive insight from mentors who have years of experience in handling different types of projects. Many training institutes share a project template for selecting your project, which makes your job not only easy but exciting as well.

This jumpstart will not only save their time but will let them carry on with their work and solving problems at the same time.
Some training modules are designed in a flexible way so that after attaining Green belt certifications, the employees may move ahead for their Black Belts. Black Belts help employees to take up more challenging positions in leadership roles. From the perspective of their career, Black Belt is naturally more lucrative and rewarding. So, Black Belt certification from a reputed institute is always going to be in high demand and if you have already decided to go for Green Belt, our suggestion will be to finish Black Belt after it for a brighter future. | <urn:uuid:cc04ee50-6d7c-4da8-be59-fcde674f98be> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.webnewswire.com/2018/10/05/green-and-black-belt-certifications-from-sixsigmatraining-us-have-great-value/ | 2023-10-03T13:53:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.962259 | 608 |
Most readers would already be aware that Enghouse Systems' (TSE:ENGH) stock increased significantly by 9.6% over the past month. Given that the market rewards strong financials in the long-term, we wonder if that is the case in this instance. In this article, we decided to focus on Enghouse Systems' ROE.
Return on Equity or ROE is a test of how effectively a company is growing its value and managing investors’ money. Simply put, it is used to assess the profitability of a company in relation to its equity capital.
The formula for return on equity is:
Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations) ÷ Shareholders' Equity
So, based on the above formula, the ROE for Enghouse Systems is:
16% = CA$84m ÷ CA$530m (Based on the trailing twelve months to July 2023).
The 'return' is the yearly profit. Another way to think of that is that for every CA$1 worth of equity, the company was able to earn CA$0.16 in profit.
So far, we've learned that ROE is a measure of a company's profitability. We now need to evaluate how much profit the company reinvests or "retains" for future growth which then gives us an idea about the growth potential of the company. Assuming everything else remains unchanged, the higher the ROE and profit retention, the higher the growth rate of a company compared to companies that don't necessarily bear these characteristics.
To start with, Enghouse Systems' ROE looks acceptable. Even when compared to the industry average of 13% the company's ROE looks quite decent. This probably goes some way in explaining Enghouse Systems' moderate 7.8% growth over the past five years amongst other factors.
Next, on comparing Enghouse Systems' net income growth with the industry, we found that the company's reported growth is similar to the industry average growth rate of 8.5% over the last few years.
Earnings growth is an important metric to consider when valuing a stock. The investor should try to establish if the expected growth or decline in earnings, whichever the case may be, is priced in. This then helps them determine if the stock is placed for a bright or bleak future. Has the market priced in the future outlook for ENGH? You can find out in our latest intrinsic value infographic research report.
Enghouse Systems has a three-year median payout ratio of 39%, which implies that it retains the remaining 61% of its profits. This suggests that its dividend is well covered, and given the decent growth seen by the company, it looks like management is reinvesting its earnings efficiently.
Additionally, Enghouse Systems has paid dividends over a period of at least ten years which means that the company is pretty serious about sharing its profits with shareholders.
On the whole, we feel that Enghouse Systems' performance has been quite good. Particularly, we like that the company is reinvesting heavily into its business, and at a high rate of return. Unsurprisingly, this has led to an impressive earnings growth. With that said, the latest industry analyst forecasts reveal that the company's earnings growth is expected to slow down. To know more about the company's future earnings growth forecasts take a look at this free report on analyst forecasts for the company to find out more.

Comfortable blood collection
The Wellion PRO2 lancing device not only stands out for its attractive design and good quality, but also meets ergonomic principles. Therefore the lancing device lies well in the hand and enables comfortable blood collection. Especially the fingertips are highly sensitive, therefore the blood collection with the Wellion Pro2 finger pricker is particularly gentle and careful.
An individual penetration depth can be selected on the lancing device, with 10 gradations to choose from. This allows you to decide for yourself which depth is best suited for you to obtain a drop of blood in the right size. As large as necessary, as small as possible.
The eject button prevents stab injuries with the used lancet.
- Clean the puncture site with warm water and soap and dry it carefully. Warm water stimulates the blood flow and makes it easier to obtain a blood sample.
- Let your arm hang down at the side for 10 to 15 seconds and massage from the wrist towards the ball of your thumb and fingers. This also stimulates the blood flow.
- Unscrew the adjustable cap from the lancing device and insert the lancet by pressing it down firmly until it stops.
- Unscrew the protective cap from the lancet. Screw the adjustable cover cap back onto the finger pricker in a clockwise direction.
- Adjust the lancing depth on the adjustable cap (1 is the shallowest, 10 the deepest).
- Hold the finger pricker firmly with one hand and pull the back cap back with the other hand until you hear a click and the finger pricker is tightened.
- The release button is now red, so you can always tell whether the finger pricker is ready to draw blood.
- If the trigger button is not red, pull the back cap back again until the trigger button turns red.
- Press the lancing device laterally against the fingertip and press the release button to prick. | <urn:uuid:4de41f4c-c663-4de6-888f-f71d16ad9741> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.wellion.eu/en/products/lancing-device/wellion-pro2-lancing-device/ | 2023-10-03T13:05:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.882032 | 401 |
You can in fact teach an old dog new tricks my friend. And very quickly at that. Jaleo, Jose Andres’ first ever restaurant in the District, has undergone a makeover, and with its refreshed modern look comes a seriously delicious menu full of creative twists on Spanish classics. I went to Jaleo the day before it closed for renovations, and exactly a month following- the total time it took to revamp the place- I returned to a completely new experience. Hello Jaleo, Fully Loaded.
Jose Andres really had no idea that when he opened Jaleo in Chinatown as a mere 23 year old kid that he would be setting the foundation for an empire, one that would span across States and elevate tapas to the highest levels. With all of his success (such as making it to the shortlist of Time’s most influential people) Jose Andres continues to be an unofficial Ambassador of the District and of its culinary talent. Right off the train from the James Beard Foundation Awards, Jose came straight to Jaleo and spoke with us extensively about the new restaurant, but furthermore, about our city, it’s food, and the people behind it. In his words, we need more “cheerleaders” – whether journalists, bloggers, or simply customers – that cheer on our chefs and those in the industry to build DC’s reputation as one of a food-town, and for its tasty offerings to no longer be an after-thought.
The man behind the kitchen at Jaleo is Ramon Martinez, a young, energetic chef who has also worked at the famed El Bulli. Martinez has overseen the kitchen operation of all the DC Jaleo’s but now is more devoted to the Chinatown outpost. And with every good bite Martinez makes, there is an equally tasty drink to accompany it. Under the direction of head Bartender Owen Thomson, Jaleo now offers six unique Gin & Tonic combinations, Jose Andres’ drink of choice, all beautifully presented and refreshing. If wine is your thing, you get an Ipad with it too. Jaleo is the first restaurant in the city to offer the entire wine and beverage list on an Ipad, so you can search and learn about what you are drinking.
Now… onto the more important matter: La Comida (the food). First off, lets start with the cones. I am a huge fan of all things bite-size but always am left wanting more. In this case, a hundred more. These cones are borderline addictive. Small, but flavorful. My favorite was the serena cheese cone with quince paste, but the salmon tartare and trout roe cone is also a force to be reckoned with. We all know the traditional pan con tomate, but imported from Spain comes the oh so good pan de cristal con tomate, which is a light, airy, crispy bread, that soaks up all the rubbed tomato perfectly. The tortilla menorquina, a Spanish omelet with sobrasada, onions and mahon cheese was creamy and spicy at the same time, and cooked to perfection. The empanadillas de brandada de bacalao– cod brandade wrapped in a fried dough and drizzled with honey- is worth the mess. These little pockets burst with unexpected big flavors. The gambas al ajillo– the classic spanish tapa of shrimp sauteed with garlic, will have you ordering more bread to soak up the sauce, these are the best gambas al ajillo I have had in the city.
While I have recently become a fan of oysters, I absolutely loved the Ostras a la Gallega– five warm oysters served with potato, sweet paprika and olive oil. In following with my shell theme, the steamed mussels with a salsa of tomatoes, cucumber, green pepper and onion were light and fresh, or you can booze up your mussel and go for the Gin and Tonic oysters. I also recommend the calamares en su tinta– a basque style squid in it’s ink-dark and tasty.
For larger parties and plates, don’t miss the “secret” steak. You can break your Meatless Monday promise for this one. A large skirt steak, apparently of the black-footed Iberico pigs of Spain, is served on a large plank, with thick crystals of salt, rosemary and thyme. With this porkalicious plank comes toasted tomato bread and two unbelievable sauces you will want to slather all over. A mojo verde- almost a chimmichuri type sauce, and a garlic alioli.
After the meat I thought I was going to fall into a coma, but somehow made room for dessert. We tried a dark chocolate mousse and brioche ice cream, garnished with a fried toast that was sprinkled with sea salt, the combination of salty and sweet was perfect. And because we didn’t have enough G&T’s, the second dessert was a foamy play on the libation. A refreshing, fruity sorbet with just the right amount of booze.
All things at Jaleo, except for maybe the customers, hail from Spain. Spanish designer Juli Capella, known for his innovative and modern designs, was responsible for the design of Jaleo Las Vegas, so a collaboration for DC was an easy ask. Jose Andres wanted to create a warm and relaxed environment with various spaces, from the bar area to the more playful group foosball tables, diners experiences change depending on table location. Colorful fabrics and contemporary tiles adorn the bar, while the lively art by emerging artist Daniel Canogar evokes action and play. Just go to the bathroom on your next visit and it will all make sense.
So grab a G&T, some tapas, and cheers to Jaleo 2.0. | <urn:uuid:87a1cb09-6cf6-43dc-bd0a-beca1df487d4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.welovedc.com/2012/05/17/we-love-food-jaleo-2-0/ | 2023-10-03T14:36:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.947118 | 1,239 |
Adams County expects to receive mold remediation plan this week
QUINCY (WGEM) - The Adams County Board heard an update Tuesday night on plans to address mold inside the Adams County courthouse.
Adams County is still waiting for a remediation plan from a St. Louis-based industrial hygienist.
However, steps have already been taken to address courthouse mold, according to board chair Kent Snider.
He said air scrubbers have been installed throughout the courthouse during the last 30 days.
The board voted to buy those scrubbers from Peters Heating and Air last month to address indoor air quality.
Adams County hired Jurgiel and Associates for a second opinion on mold testing.
That company presented its findings to the board last month.
The board was expecting to receive a remediation plan from Jurgiel on Tuesday.
“We still are hoping to have it, yet this week, so we can start with other cleaning of areas,” Snider said. “We’re working as fast we we can. We really don’t want to touch a lot of stuff until we get our remediation plan, because that tells us what to do first and how to actually do it safely. It seems like we’re working slowly, but we’re waiting for instruction.”
The board also unanimously ratified a contract with county ambulance workers.
The agreement raises the starting salary from $15 an hour to $19 an hour.
Snider said that increase was needed, because Adams County’s ambulance wages were far below surrounding counties.
As a result, Adams County was losing first responders to other counties.
The new 3-year contract starts Dec. 1.
The board also agreed to create a Veterans Assistance Commission for Adams County.
It will help veterans access benefits and entitlements from various resources.

INDIANAPOLIS — Bird lovers across Indiana can once again feed their feathered friends, the Department of Natural Resources announced.
In June, Indiana DNR recommended not feeding birds to slow the spread of a still-undetermined illness that killed songbirds across the state. Last month, the department lifted the restrictions on all but 16 of Indiana's 92 counties.
Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Marion and Morgan counties in the metropolitan Indianapolis area were still under the restriction until Friday, as well as Carroll, Monroe and Tippecanoe counties in central Indiana.
"The actions of many Hoosiers significantly helped the DNR’s work related to the disease outbreak. By taking down their feeders and submitting more than 4,300 reports, residents enabled DNR staff track the disease, detect regional differences, and provide updated recommendations for feeding birds," Indiana DNR wrote in a release Friday announcing the lifting of feeding restrictions.
DNR biologists looked over more than 750 cases of sick or deceased birds that had symptoms including crusty eyes, eye discharge and neurological issues. The mysterious illness impacted mostly songbirds, including robins, cardinals and blue jays.
DNR has ruled out some possible causes including avian influenza, West Nile virus, and other flaviviruses, Salmonella and Chlamydia (bacterial pathogens), Newcastle disease virus and other paramyxoviruses, herpesviruses and poxviruses, and Trichomonas parasites.
The department said Hoosiers can put bird feeders back out "if they are comfortable doing so" and have not observed dead or sick birds in their yard.
Despite removing the restrictions, Indiana DNR still encourages people to clean seed and suet feeders at least once every two weeks, scrubbing them with soap and water, then soaking briefly in a 10% bleach solution. Rinse and dry the feeders before refilling them with seed.
Hummingbird feeders should be cleaned weekly with a 10% bleach solution, then rinsed before being used.
(NOTE: The video below was first published on June 28, 2021.)
Hoosiers who are still finding sick or dead birds on their property are asked to report them to the Indiana DNR online at on.IN.gov/sickwildlife. | <urn:uuid:92949e71-63ed-4cf9-adda-483bd9a70f01> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.whas11.com/article/life/animals/indiana-dnr-sick-dead-birds-bird-feeders/531-7adf60d9-9883-4c6a-a81c-b1a9c6dab07f | 2023-10-03T13:03:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.949272 | 476 |

Quotes Tagged "privacy"
Intellectual property, more than ever, is a line drawn around information, which asserts that despite having been set loose in the world - and having, inevitably, been created out of an individual's relationship with the world - that information retains some connection with its author that allows that person some control over how it is replicated and used. In other words, the claim that lies beneath the notion of intellectual property is similar or identical to the one that underpins notions of privacy. It seems to me that the two are inseparable, because they are fundamentally aspects of the same issue, the need we have to be able to do something by convention that is impossible by force: the need to ringfence certain information. I believe that the most important unexamined notion - for policymakers and agitators both - in these debates is that they are one: you can't persuade people on the one hand to abandon intellectual property (a decision which, incidentally, would mean an even more massive upheaval in the way the world runs than we've seen so far since 1990) and hope to keep them interested in privacy. You can't trash privacy and hope to retain a sense of respect for IP. | <urn:uuid:c1dc560d-a993-4f1a-9017-bb9fba01a381> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.whatshouldireadnext.com/quotes/tags/privacy | 2023-10-03T15:08:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.968445 | 245 |
The midsize SUV market is a crowded one, with many strong contenders vying for your attention and, ultimately, your purchasing decision. The 2023 Ford Edge and the 2023 Chevrolet Traverse are two models that frequently catch buyers’ eyes. Both SUVs have earned their places in the market, and while they offer several similar features, they each bring unique qualities to the table. The Ford Edge has become known for its tech-savvy amenities and well-balanced performance, whereas the Chevrolet Traverse is often praised for its spacious interior and versatile capabilities. In this article, we’ll dive into each vehicle’s specifics across key aspects such as design, technology, safety, and performance to give you a well-rounded view of what each brings to the table.
Design & Style
With its modern, streamlined appearance, the Ford Edge makes a strong first impression. The interior exudes sophistication, with a plush, comfortable seating arrangement and an upscale dashboard. On the other hand, the Chevrolet Traverse leans more towards a classic, utilitarian design, prioritizing space and practicality. While the Traverse’s interior can accommodate more passengers, it lacks some of the refined touches and material quality found in the Edge.
Technology & Safety
In terms of technology and safety, the Ford Edge boasts a host of modern features. Its SYNC 4A infotainment system comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, among other connectivity options. Standard safety features such as forward-collision warning and lane-keeping assist add to its appeal. The Chevrolet Traverse is not lacking in this department, offering a comprehensive infotainment system and standard safety features, but it doesn’t quite offer the same breadth of advanced tech and safety amenities as its counterpart.
Performance-wise, both SUVs bring considerable strengths. The Ford Edge’s turbocharged four-cylinder engine provides an ideal balance of power and fuel efficiency, making it a versatile option for both city and highway driving. The Chevrolet Traverse, powered by a V6 engine, offers more towing capacity and is better equipped for heavier loads. However, this comes at the expense of slightly lower fuel efficiency compared to the Edge.
The Bottom Line
After taking a closer look at both vehicles, your decision will likely come down to what you value most in a midsize SUV. If a more luxurious interior, advanced technology, and a balanced performance are your priorities, you may find the Edge more aligned with your needs. Conversely, if you prioritize spaciousness and towing capacity, the Chevrolet Traverse could be a better fit. When considering the overall package, including technological amenities, comfort, and performance, one of these SUVs seems to offer a more well-rounded experience.

“Roberts then withstood a month-long, desperate campaign to bring him back to his original position, the sources said… But this time, Roberts held firm. And so the conservatives handed him their own message which, as one justice put it, essentially translated into, “You’re on your own.”The conservatives refused to join any aspect of his opinion, including sections with which they agreed, such as his analysis imposing limits on Congress’ power under the Commerce Clause, the sources said.Instead, the four joined forces and crafted a highly unusual, unsigned joint dissent. They deliberately ignored Roberts’ decision, the sources said, as if they were no longer even willing to engage with him in debate.”
To the untrained ear that sounds like old-fashioned pouting. But surely, not at the Supreme Court. | <urn:uuid:0b095070-edf5-4837-9fe7-a6dcf7ed8beb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.who2.com/behind-the-health-care-ruling-why-john-roberts-switched/ | 2023-10-03T13:03:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.980998 | 174 |
(Richmond Hill) – Looking at the faceless blue doll called “Nobody”, it’s hard to imagine the difference he’s been making.
As part of an innovative literacy program called “Who is Nobody?”, the doll has become an increasingly important part of a unique approach to teaching in York schools.
Public school is really a time to explore, make mistakes and find out what you're good at, rather than being forced to conform— Kelly Clark, program creator
Members of the Richmond Hill and York Region rotary clubs made it all possible raising more than $3,500 to buy kits.
They were presented to the schools at a ceremony last month in Thornhill.
Seven schools, from Thornhill to Keswick, have bought kits, which include a doll, scrapbook, film and information for teachers and students.
After receiving the package, students work to discover their own interests and create their own way of being kind to living things. It can be anything from picking up litter in the local park to donating clothes to Goodwill or teaching about another culture.
Each student takes the doll home for a week and adds something representative of their lesson. They then present the doll to the class along with their own story and a picture.
It's a remarkable tool that encourages young people to get involved in good causes, it nurtures their self esteem and enhances their academic performance— Bill Harris, president Richmond Hill Rotary Club
By the end of the year, the doll is infused with the spirit of the students’ character and covered with mementos of their explorations — no longer a “Nobody”.
All their work is compiled in a scrapbook and the doll becomes the class mascot.
“I was teaching and I saw a void in the classroom,” said project creator Kelly Clark, who took three years to assemble the project.
“Public school is really a time to explore, make mistakes and find out what you’re good at,” rather than being forced to conform, she said.
She designed the project to meet curriculum requirements in areas such as literacy while allowing students to develop their individuality and think of others.
Thornhill Public School teachers Michelle Fermont and Sumona Sanyal show off “Nobody”, a new tool to teach students literacy and character education.
Some of the local schools making use of Nobody include Beverly Acres and Charles Howell public schools.
The program fit perfectly with the ideals of the service club in terms of teaching literacy, encouraging children to do things for others and performing “service above self”, said Bill Harris, president of the Richmond Hill Rotary Club.
“It’s a remarkable tool that encourages young people to get involved in good causes. At the same time, it nurtures their self esteem and enhances their academic performance,” he said.
“We were so impressed by the presentation she did on the unit, we purchased five to distribute to schools.”
This year, the project’s sixth, will see about 100 projects taking place across Ontario. It’s the first year Who is Nobody? has gone beyond Toronto and York Region and it’s now in 14 boards across the province.
Ms Clark said she hopes school boards will soon take it on en masse but, in the meantime, local schools and Rotary groups have helped by buying the kits.
Venture Park Public School teacher Wendy Herman can’t wait to break the little guy out of his box.
They can see that by doing something for others they can help themselves— Wendy Herman, teacher
“Nobody is up and running in my classroom. I am going to have the first presentation today and the kids are ultra excited,” she said last week.
Angelica Karchevskaya, a Grade 3 teacher at Beverly Acres Public School, said her students jockeyed to see who would take the doll home first.
Already three children have taken Nobody, doing everything from learning about the Ontario Humane Society to teaching little children ice skating.
“They can see that by doing something for others they can help themselves,” she said.
Moreover, the fact they have to write in Nobody’s scrapbook and do an oral presentation is helping their literacy skills and attitudes.
“They all want to take it and create a mascot and create somebody from Nobody,” she said.

Hoodie Allen is an independent American hip-hop artist, singer and rapper who has a net worth of $800 thousand. Hoodie Allen made a successful turn from an Internet sensation into a charting rap artist with the release of his 2012 EP All American. Born Steven Markowitz on August 19, 1988 in Plainview, New York, and raised on Long Island, he first started writing lyrics as a child.
Later on, he would perform raps for his friends at house parties. A frat-rap from the beginning, he got the chance to meet producer RJF during an Alpha Epsilon Pi-hosted party at the University of Pennsylvania. Even though he was studying marketing and finance and landed a post at Google, Hoodie Allen recognized music as his true calling. Along with RJF, he released the street albums Bagels & Beats and Making Waves (2008) and won MTV’s Best Music on Campus Award in 2009. However, Hoodie Allen’s big breakthrough hit came with the 2010 track “You Are Not a Robot,” which appeared on his popular mixtape Pep Rally (2009). Since, he has seen the release of two other mixtapes, Leap Year (2011) and Crew Cuts (2013). In the meantime, he went on a headlining tour across the States right before he made his official debut with the All American EP in 2012.

I wonder what would happen in this hypothetical situation? What if I create file containers with Serpent-AES and one day AES is broken? Or, if I create file containers with AES-Twofish-Serpent. AES and Twofish become broken one day? Or any other cascade example. If I use cascade encryption will 1 broken algorithm make it possible for an adversary to have partial access to the container? Or they need to break every algorithm used to have any kind of access to the container? Is it safer to use cascade, even if one of the used algorithms can get broken in near future? Or to choose a single algorithm which is highly unlikely to get broken during my lifetime? | <urn:uuid:e88b0707-1a16-42e6-90a1-0f14da45c01d> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/truecrypt-encryption-algorithms.217429/ | 2023-10-03T13:27:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.94455 | 140 |
Fairbanks is the second largest city in Alaska and is pretty much right in the geographic centre of the state. It’s a fairly nondescript city of about 100,000 people. Summer temperatures can get up as high as 30C and in winter it’s a very cold -40C (coincidentally, this is also -40F). While we have been here, the temperature has been a very comfortable 18 – 20C every day.
We spent our first morning here picking up our car for our driving trip over the next three weeks. We have booked our travel and car from a tour company based here called GoNorth. They are one of the few companies that will let us take a car on a one-way trip into Canada and they have done a very nice job of organising our accommodation, ferry and tours etc along the way.
Our car is a relatively new white Jeep Cherokee is very comfortable and nice to drive. GoNorth give all their cars a name and ours is called Hedwig. This was the name of Harry Potter’s pet owl. I had to use Google to find out that Hedwig is actually a girl’s name. All the cars here have a short length of power cord protruding from the front grill so the they can be plugged into one of the posts in every parking lot to prevent the engine from freezing while parked. GoNorth have provided us with a safety kit including flares, jumper leads, tow rope and first aid kit.
Near Fairbanks is the community of North Pole. The obvious attraction there is the Santa Claus House. There’s nothing else at all in the town that would ever entice you to go there. The lamp posts are painted in red and white candy stripes but that is very superficial. They get thousands of letters each year addressed to Santa, at the North Pole. While we were there, Santa was on a break and I couldn’t tell him that I had been a good boy. It may not have helped, as there is a lot more of the year to go before Christms and things might just change. However, we couldn’t resist buying another ornament for our Christmas Tree from North Pole.
We spent the remainder of our first day looking around Fairbanks but there is nothing very outstanding to see even though this place is billed as the ‘Gateway to the Arctic’. Some of the participants of the Iditarod live here. One of the most famous was Susan Butcher, who won the race four times. The Iditarod is a long distance dog-sled race (approx 1800 km) from Anchorage to Nome. It follows some of the the old Athebascan Indian trails and is held in early March (right in the middle of the coldest time of the year). Susan Butcher, sadly, died of cancer some years ago. I met her daughter today and she told me that the dog teams travel up to 160 km per day. That’s much further than you would ride a horse in the same time!. We found a museum to the ‘Mushers’ in the downtown area.
We also took some time to do some shopping. Tomorrow, we head north to the tiny settlement of Wiseman, along the ‘Haul Road’. (This is the same road that is featured in the Discovery Channel’s show, ‘Ice Truckers Highway’). We need to take some food and other supplies with us because our accommodation is a long way from the nearest town. We have stocked up on food and mosquito repellant as well as some wine, of course, to last us for the next three days. We will be ‘off the air’ for this time, and I will be unable to post any more travel news until we are back in Fairbanks. I’m also making sure that we have all our batteries charged up, as there will not be any power there either.
One of the most interesting places we saw in Fairbanks was the local University of Alaska. I think that their buildings are very modern and impressive. One of them was the science facility where they study the northern lights. Outside was a signpost showing international places with which they have a working relationship. Among these were Melbourne, Adelaide and Mawson. I realised just how far we are away from home when I saw that the sign on the top of the post showed that Melbourne was 12,778 kilometres away.
Today, we enjoyed a riverboat trip up the Chena River. In the old days, around nine riverboats navigated this river carrying supplies and trading goods. It’s not very deep but it freezes to a thickness of 1 metre in winter. It was a good three-hour trip, quite expensive but well worth the money.
We passed Susan Butcher’s home, with its dog kennels, and had a quick demonstration of the way that sled dogs are trained. At our furthest point, we came to a replica Athabaskan Indian settlement which allowed us to learn something about their life and culture. I’m generally fairly sceptical about these reconstructed tourist places, but this was very interesting. One of the things I learned is that Rendeer and Caribou are really the same animal. Reindeer is the name given to the domesticated Caribou. I was rather interested to see this native fish wheel. It revolves in the water and flicks out the salmon it picks top into a bin. Then they are filleted and smoked. Other places in this village showed how animal skins were used for clothing and protection against the weather.
We met a Native American this morning as we were having breakfast. He didn’t like being in the ‘big city’ of Fairbanks and was much happier in his home village which is an hour’s flight to the west of here. Most of western Alaska is only accessible by plane. He told us how his people hunted moose and shaped cedar into a form from which they could make a toboggan. I thought that it would be easier to buy one from the store but he didn’t understand my sense of humour. He was in town to start his summer job of fighting forest fires. Most of these are started by lightning and take a lot of work to control.
Jill is a little nervous about our travel up the Dalton Highway tomorrow, but I’m sure that it will be OK and we’ll report back in a few days. | <urn:uuid:688e951d-f5d9-479e-978d-2c14f46c24f0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.wilsons.id.au/fairbanks/ | 2023-10-03T14:02:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.983235 | 1,339 |
Vessel selection: The Prysmian Group has chartered Global Marine Systems' (GMS) cable-laying vessel, the CS Sovereign, from mid-2016 into early 2017 for carrying out the inter-array submarine cabling at the Wikinger Offshore Wind Farm in the Baltic Sea.
The vessel is equipped with two powered 2,300 tonne "basket" turntables, designed to operate at a maximum linear speed of 900m/hour.
It was used for installation and burial of 80 inter-array cables at Global Tech 1, Thornton Bank in 2011, and previously Denmark's Horns Rev 2.
The 350MW Wikinger project is located 45 kilometres off the German coast. It is being developed by Iberdrola and will use 70 Adwen 5MW turbines. Adwen is the offshore joint venture formed by Areva and Gamesa. 7-Sep-15
Project online: Inauguration of the 288MW Butendiek offshore wind farm took place in Husum on 8 September 2015 with the participation of state-level politicians and Jurgen Trittin, federal German MP and former federal environment minister.
The project, built at an investment of €1.3 billion, is expected to generate 1.28TWh per year, equivalent to 4,444 full load hours per year.
The electricity is marketed on the wholesale day-ahead market by CLENS Clean Energy Sourcing, an independent green electricity trading company selected in a competitive tendering process.
The project began generating electricity in February 2015. 10-Sep-15
Financing arrangement: Bremer Landesbank has announced that it will contribute to financing the €410m Nordergrunde nearshore wind project.
KfW-IPEX and the European Investment Bank (EIB) lead the consortium of lenders, it added. No further details were released.
The 111.6MW project will be built 15 kilometres north-east of the German island of Wangerooge, and comprises 18 Senvion 6.2MW M126 turbines installed in water depths of up to ten metres.
Construction is due to begin in March 2016 with commissioning due in 2017. 11-Sep-15
Servicing deal: Deutsche Windtechnik Offshore and Consulting (DWOC) and Vattenfall have expanded the scope of their cooperation for the DanTysk offshore wind farm.
Under a four-year contract running from end-June 2015, DWOC will maintain and inspect all transition pieces and foundations above and below water level of the 80 Siemens SWT-3.6-120 turbines. It will also perform maintenance tasks for the offshore substation, accommodation platform, hydraulic cranes and latchway systems.
Two teams carry out these tasks in 14-day cycles working out of the Danish port Esbjerg, DWOC said.
Deutsche Windtechnik has been involved in the DanTysk project since the first construction phase in 2012, monitoring construction and production for the blades, nacelles and towers. In 2014, it developed the service concept for the offshore substation and managed its commissioning. 11-Sep-15
Safety concerns: Construction of the 30MW Block Island in Rhode Island Sound has faced safety issues that developer Deepwater Wind says are now being addressed.
The ABS Group, retained by the Coastal Resources Management Council to oversee construction, said there had been problems including dropped objects, loss of control of suspended loads, employees working underneath suspended loads, wrong placement of logistical safety equipment, and the reliability of a rescue skiff.
Foundations contractor Weeks/Manson has limited offshore experience, noted ABS, and there was limited safety representation during operations resulting in numerous personnel changes.
Also, at one point Barge 533 was not secured to a deck, there were concerns about crane and pile-driving equipment reliability, cranes were old and poorly suited to offshore use, and there was repeated failure of rigging equipment resulting in loss of a load.
Deepwater says it is implementing ABS' recommendations to fix the problems. Construction started in late July.

The seemingly directed, written, and misleading spontaneity of actions should not be: Julia is a film with a more complex structure than its lightness reveals itselfa little bit of space “YouTube-Romanesque”who wants to hang out with him freely between the summer city and the coast, between auditions, parties in breeding, terrace parties and sunrise on the beach.
de caro puts the story in contemporary era Characterized by masks, gel sterilizers, economic crises but above all internal crises. Julia, wandering the streets of Rome in search of work, after a badly ended relationship, pursues an illusory dream of motherhood, wishing at the same time with feelings of freedom, lightness and love. With her backpack on her shoulder, she finds a home wherever she goes. Your meetings will fill her days by giving her a roof and lots of support. This hot Roman summer is for her a period of hope and recovery as she finally realizes that she must be the engine of her life.
The work is part of the macro set of films shot in the Covid era, but the epidemic here does not contradict the plot. The cues are translated by adopting habits that we all now internalize. We can’t help but smile when the characters don’t know when to remove the mask, or how to greet a stranger for the first time. These details add tangibleness to the work, which is very realistic in itself.
“Realism, in fact, is the most striking element. The film attempts to capture the truth and convey it to us with complete success. The topic of not being able to exist in the world is as complex as Julia’s character, but the handheld camera faithfully reproduces mental and emotional crisis situations without slipping into exaggeration or over-construction. Filming equipment was kept to a minimum, there was no makeup for the actors and the music only interfered when the characters were dancing and singing songs. This natural and pure state of things gives the film a rare beauty.” (My films).

Internet marketplaces have become an essential part of the modern economy, providing customers with a vast range of products and services while enabling vendors to reach a broader audience. As the marketplace landscape becomes increasingly competitive, businesses must look to new technologies to stay ahead. One such technology that has emerged as a game-changer for internet marketplaces is data analytics and dashboards. By leveraging data analytics and dashboards, marketplaces can gain valuable insights into customer behavior, preferences, and purchasing patterns, which can be used to improve customer satisfaction, increase sales, and maximize profitability.
Automatic RFM Segmentation for Targeted Messaging
One of the key benefits of data analytics and dashboards for internet marketplaces is the ability to perform automatic RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) segmentation analyses. RFM segmentation is a powerful tool that allows businesses to group customers based on their purchasing behavior, including how recently they made a purchase, how frequently they make purchases, and how much they spend. This information can be used to tailor marketing campaigns and promotions to specific customer segments, improving customer engagement and loyalty.
Automating Customer Segmentation with APIs
Reports are useful for visualizing RFM segmentation, but to take full advantage of this tool, marketplaces can store the segments in a database and use APIs to programmatically target customers with relevant messaging. This approach eliminates the need for manual segmentation, reducing the potential for errors and saving valuable time. By automating the process, marketplaces can quickly identify the most valuable customers and target them with customized promotions, increasing the likelihood of repeat business and higher customer lifetime value.
Sensitivity Analysis for Advanced Marketing Strategies
In addition to RFM segmentation, data analytics can also help internet marketplaces with other types of analysis. For example, sensitivity analysis is an advanced method of testing marketing strategies that involves adjusting multiple variables simultaneously to determine the optimal combination. By using sensitivity analysis, marketplaces can more accurately predict the impact of marketing campaigns and adjust their strategies accordingly, resulting in more effective campaigns and increased ROI.
Pricing Strategies and Fraud Detection with Data Analytics
Data analytics can also help marketplaces with calculating bonuses and incentives, discount coupon values, and other pricing strategies. By analyzing customer data, marketplaces can determine the most effective pricing strategies for different customer segments, improving profitability while maintaining customer satisfaction. For example, a marketplace could use data analytics to determine which discount coupon values are most effective for a particular segment, resulting in higher conversion rates and increased sales.
Another area where data analytics can benefit internet marketplaces is in fraud detection and prevention. With the increase in online transactions, fraud has become a significant issue for many marketplaces. By using data analytics to identify patterns in customer behavior, marketplaces can detect fraudulent activities and take appropriate measures to prevent future occurrences. This can include monitoring transactional data, user behavior, and network activity, and using machine learning algorithms to detect and prevent fraudulent activity.
In conclusion, data analytics and dashboards offer many benefits for internet marketplaces. By leveraging these technologies, marketplaces can gain valuable insights into customer behavior, preferences, and purchasing patterns, which can be used to improve customer satisfaction, increase sales, and maximize profitability. With the competitive landscape of online marketplaces constantly evolving, businesses must embrace new technologies to stay ahead, and data analytics is undoubtedly one of the most promising technologies available today.

In the wake of lending her voice to two fruitful tunes – “Joganiyan” and “Sannata” – not long from now, Shruti Haasan has sung a tune pictured on herself for her film ‘Gabbar Is Back’. Additionally mind blowing is that she recorded the tune in one hour with no break.
“Shruti was shooting in the village of Pollachi for one of her Tamil films. In between her film schedules and her numerous brand shoots, she had just half a day to complete this recording. After a two-hour car ride to Coimbatore and then a flight to Mumbai, Shruti landed and went straight into the recording studio,” said a source.
“She had prepped the song in advance and had worked on the voicing so that she can maximise her output at the studio. And that’s exactly what happened. The music director got what he wanted from her for the entire song within an hour, post which she took a flight back to resume her shoot in Pollachi,” he said.
Coordinated by Krish Jagarlamudi, the film emphasizing Akshay Kumar ahead of the pack, is the redo of Tamil film ‘Ramanna’. The film likewise features Prakash Raj and Sonu Sood in imperative parts, while Kareena Kapoor Khan and Chitrangada Singh will show up in cameo parts. | <urn:uuid:ee9fefbf-b303-4e66-8dbe-35b7616a5465> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.wittyscoop.com/gabbar-is-back-movie-shruti-haasan-sings/ | 2023-10-03T13:52:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.978149 | 302 |

Tune Your RouterComments (0)
In most shops a router gets plenty of hard work, so it’s not surprising that an occasional problem can show up. But just because your router has been acting finicky doesn’t necessarily mean it’s time to replace it. You can often get it back into tip-top shape if you know where the problems are likely to be hiding. And chances are, the fix won’t cost you much time or money.
As manager of the Fine Woodworking shop, I get to see quite a few routers. The problems that most of them have had can be distilled into one of three categories.
The main problem I see is related to the height-adjustment mechanism. Over time it may become difficult to adjust. Or it does not lock properly, causing the motor to creep out of position.
Second on my list of common problems has to do with the collet. Sometimes it won’t grip the shank of the bit tightly enough, causing the bit to slip.
Worn brushes are the third most common problem. When brushes have worn too much, the motor might not start. If the motor does manage to run, it can unexpectedly cut out under load.
It’s not unusual for the height-adjustment mechanism to stick or bind, especially on a plunge router. When that happens, it’s difficult to make precise adjustments. When the height adjustment is not working quite right, the first thing to do is check the sliding components and the lock mechanism. A buildup of grime prevents parts from sliding or meshing properly. And parts that aren’t properly lubricated suffer the same problem. The fix here is simple enough. It’s just a matter of cleaning and lubricating the parts.
Unfortunately, some routers have a complex lock or height-adjustment mechanism that makes disassembly difficult. In this case, first try cleaning and lubing without taking apart the router. Disassemble the machine only if you can’t get it to free up.
On a plunge router, first remove the springs from the base unit. Then use a penetrating oil, such as WD-40, and a paper towel or rag wrapped around a rod (a wood dowel works fine) to clean out the holes that accept the two guideposts. Then clean all of the old grease off the springs and wipe down the guideposts.
Use a paper towel or a rag wetted with WD-40 to get into the threads, grooves, gear tracks and other nooks and crannies of the lock and depth controls of your machine. An old toothbrush also comes in handy here. Go over any moving or sliding parts, looking for burrs, rough spots, binding or excess wear. Use files, stones and emery paper to correct any problems you find. Also, examine the springs, nuts and washers for burrs and distorted or worn-out parts. Washers especially can get cupped or chewed up, making the controls hard to work and lock handles difficult to tighten. If the router has a rack-and-gear mechanism, use a needle file to clean up any burrs down in the gear teeth that can cause interference.
On a fixed-base router, use a paper towel or rag wetted with WD-40 to clean the barrel of the motor and the inside of the base. Some fixed-base routers have a motor housing that threads into the base.
Make it a habit to clean out chips and sawdust that get caught between the base and motor. Also, adding an occasional thin coat of wax to the sliding surfaces can reduce wear and help extend the life of the parts.
Eventually, these parts can wear to the point that it becomes hard to thread the motor or lock it in place. If you find that’s the case, and if the base is metal, the most cost-effective fix is simply to replace the base. Little can be done for plastic routers because typically both the base and the body are worn out.
Now you can reassemble the machine, lubricating as you work along. Shafts and threads that are somewhat protected from sawdust can get a coat of light oil (such as sewing-machine oil) or lithium grease.
On parts that get more exposure to sawdust, such as the guideposts or a sliding motor, it’s best to use a stick lubricant or a good wax to make the parts slide smoothly.
Caring for the collet
A typical router bit spins at 25,000 rpm. To prevent slippage, the collet on the router must maintain a viselike grip on the shank of the bit. So it makes sense to keep the collet in good working order.
In time, grime can build up in both the collet nut and the collet, effectively reducing the squeeze on the shank. A collet that isn’t properly lubricated can also have less gripping strength.
The nut and collet can also begin to wear or get distorted. And it doesn’t take a lot of wear or distortion to cause problems. Indeed, a change of just a couple of thousandths of an inch can prevent the chuck from fully gripping the bit.
A collet that’s worn or distorted can lead to vibration. And that could damage the shank of the bit or the inside of the collet. Or it can cause the bit to creep from the collet, changing the depth of cut as you rout. Should the bit creep far enough, the entire shank could come out in the middle of a cut—the woodworking equivalent of a nuclear meltdown.
Fortunately, it takes only a moment to make sure the surfaces of the collet are clean and properly lubricated. The procedure is pretty straightforward. Remove the router bit and unscrew the nut, then lift the collet from the spindle. On some routers, the nut stays attached to the collet.
Once the collet is out, you can blow out any sawdust. Also give a quick visual inspection to the taper inside the end of the spindle. The tapered surfaces should be smooth, almost polished. And the tapers should be straight, not worn into a bell shape.
Check the collet for cracks, which sometimes show up along the edge, particularly on thin-walled collets. Replace the collet if you spot one. Any burrs or rust need to be smoothed out. I use a fine stone on the tapered surface. On the inside, emery paper (220 grit or finer) wrapped around a dowel works well.
It’s important to use a light touch when using a stone or emery paper. The idea is to remove the rough spots without changing the shape of the parts. The collet must fit precisely in the spindle taper.
Be sure to clean off any grit left by the emery paper or stones. The grit will cause rapid wear if not removed. If you find that a bit has spun inside the collet, chewing up the bore, the collet should be replaced.
This sort of damage cannot be fixed and will allow bits to slip, damaging their shanks. If the spindle taper is chewed up, the router is probably due for retirement. On some routers the spindle taper is a separate part that threads onto the end of the spindle. But it typically requires special tools to remove and replace it. If the critical surfaces are in good shape, it takes just a few steps to clean and lube the parts.
Slightly moisten the corner of a paper towel (or clean rag) with WD-40. Then wipe down the inside of the nut, the collet and the inside and outside of the end of the spin-dle. After that, use your fingernail to get the towel into the threads on the spindle. Before cleaning the outside of the collet, tear off a small piece of the oil-treated towel and thin dowel to force the towel through the bore of the collet. Because the bore is the part of the collet that actually grips the bit shank, you don’t want to leave oil residue there.
So run some pieces of clean towel through the bore to make sure all of the oil is gone. Worn-out brushes need replacing To produce high power in a light, compact package, a router uses a universal-type motor.
Common to this motor is a pair of small carbon blocks, called brushes, that rub against the commutator, a part that spins with a surface speed of some 60 mph. These brush-es eventually wear down. When they wear too much, the router starts to complain.
So it’s a good idea to check the brushes once in a while. And replace them before they wear too much. One sign of worn brushes is an increasing amount of sparking that can be seen through the air vents on top of the router. Another common symptom is a motor that cuts in and out under load, or one that intermittently fails to start. Running a router with badly worn brushes for any length of time can damage the soft copper surface of the commutator. happens, the replacement brushes are going to wear faster than they should. Or worse yet, the motor may be ruined.
There is no sure guideline for how often to check the brushes for wear. Most owner’s manuals recommend a check every 50 to 100 hours of running time. But running time isn’t easy to track, so I just check them once or twice a year.
So how do you know when a brush needs to be replaced? A few manufacturers mold a wear line on the brush. Once worn to the line, it’s time for a new brush. Most of the time, however, the brush won’t have a wear line. When that’s the case, check whether the owner’s manual tells you when to replace the brush.
If the manual isn’t helping (and that’s not uncommon), there’s a pretty good rule of thumb that applies here: Replace the brush when it becomes shorter than it is wide. For example, a typical 1/4-in.-thick by 3/8-in.-wide by 3/4-in.- long brush (when new) should be replaced when it wears to 3/8 in. long. By the way, worn or damaged brushes should always be replaced in pairs.
Most router manufacturers have made brush-changing a simple manufacprocedure. On many machines, you can reach the brushes by removing two dime-sized plastic caps set 180° apart on the top of the machine. With the caps removed, the brushes will easily slide out of their brass housings. Brushes held in by threaded caps are typically bonded to a spring and lead wire
Some routers have the brushes inside the plastic housing that covers the top part of the motor. Held on by a few screws, the cover is usually simple to remove, although some makers hide the screws under labeling that must be peeled off or cut. With the cover removed, the brush assemblies should be easy to spot. Most likely, they are going to be held in position by flat coil springs.
A paper clip comes in handy here. Straighten the clip and bend one end into a small hook. Slip the hook under the spring, then pull it back to release the brush. Be careful, though. The brush could shatter if the spring snaps back against it.
After checking the length of the brush, it’s also a good idea to inspect its general condition. A bad electrical connection or heavy use can burn the brush, causing it to crack or crumble.
While you have the brushes out of the router, take a moment to look over the springs and lead wires that usually are attached to the back of the brush. On the springs, look for evidence of burning or cracking. And check the wire to see whether it is frayed, broken or even pulled out of the brush. Any one of these problems is a good reason to install fresh brushes.
Replacement brushes are typically available from the manufacturer. If they can’t supply brushes because the motor is too old, a motor repair shop might be able to help. By the way, when installing new brushes, make sure they slide easily into their housings. If they don't, file them down as needed to get a good fit.

‘If you don’t vote, you lose the right to complain’
Polls is one of our funnest components. You can use it to get feedback on what everyone wants for lunch on Fridays, or to ask more serious questions like, ‘What make should our new fleet vehicles be?’ However, it can also be a sneakily incentivizing tool for driving up compliance and ensuring workers complete their required tasks. Let’s say that Bob has very strong opinions on whether pineapple belongs on pizza but only has a 40% compliance score - you have the option to adjust the settings so that only people above a certain percentage can participate. Suddenly, Bob who vehemently opposes pineapples on pizza has a 100% compliance rating and has also managed to sway the vote to Meat Lover’s by Friday’s lunch.
To setup a poll, all you have to do is choose your recipients and build a question. The poll can be set to release immediately or at a future date. Specify whether the poll accepts single, or multiple selections. A multiple selection question might be something like, ‘Which days would you be available for the Christmas party?’
Getting down to the nitty-gritty.
If you have several polls going at the same time you can organize them by setting a priority level. You can also allow people to vote anonymously. An example of where that might be applicable is when you want to gauge your employee’s satisfaction with a Mental Health and Wellness program, or how they perceived the success of a new product roll-out. Click the poll in the admin panel to view the participation rate and number of votes; or pop over to Workers Responses to view their selections.
Poll your workforce on company issues like, “What make should the new fleet vehicles be?” or more light-hearted topics such as, “Where should the company Christmas party be?”
Workers will want to weigh in on the more fun, extracurricular themed polls. Setting a minimum compliance level will encourage your workers to get up to date so they can participate.
Choose to automatically send out results in a Bulletin when a poll ends or generate a bulletin draft on demand for completed polls. This includes a summary and graph of results.
Track Responses and Participation
Refer to the participation chart to review overall interaction with the poll. View and filter individual responses by position and location in the Worker Responses tab.

No need to purchase additional dies if you already own a Rowley machine!
- #30, #36, #45, and #60 buttons are compatible with Rowley medium and heavy dies.
- Rowley #22 and #24 dies are not industry standard but may still work depending on fabric —please test.
Low wall shells work best; select button backs that can be paired with them. As always, please request samples before committing to an order.
Another option is to purchase dies from us and have the shanks turned to fit your Rowley machine. This is a good compromise if you want to offer customers a greater range of button sizes and styles, but don't want to invest in another machine. You will also be able to use any type of shell we offer. | <urn:uuid:f9e647d9-1d58-4547-852a-b763722bdfd3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.workroombuttons.com/rowley-co-machine-and-dies.html | 2023-10-03T14:36:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.935566 | 160 |
Günther Ehrgott, Operations Director of Kienberg, Austria Facility
This year, Worthington bids farewell to 40-year employee, Günther Ehrgott, Jr., Operations Director of the Company’s Kienberg, Austria facility as he begins his retirement. In 1982, right after high school, Günther joined the Quality Control department at Heiser which would later become Worthington. However, Günther’s family legacy with the Company started long before his time here and will continue after.
SPANNING 205 YEARS
A Family Legacy
Established in 1817, Heiser transformed into one of Europe’s leading producers of high-pressure industrial gas cylinders and was purchased by Worthington in 1998. The Ehrgott family’s history with the Company, dates back to 1882, when Günther’s great-grandfather Leopold Ehrgott worked there as a blacksmith. In 1902, his grandfather Franz Ehrgott also joined, with his maternal great-grandfather and maternal grandfather following, along with his father Günther Ehrgott, Sr. later in 1955. Currently, Günther and his brother Rainer Ehrgott, Head of Scheduling, are both Worthington employees, along with his son and several nephews. In total, five generations of Günther’s family have worked for the Company.
Günther pictured alongside photos from the 1960s of his grandfather working on the hot-drawn press (top right) and his father hand stamping (bottom right).
GROWTH AND ADVANCEMENT
The Right Fit
Aside from his family’s history with the Company, Günther knew this was the right place for him. After interning several times throughout school, Günther was offered a position in the Quality Control department which he happily accepted. A year after he started, he was promoted to assistant plant manager and later to material planner. With added management experience, he soon led an entire department, serving as the head of Scheduling before moving into Operations management. All the while, he received high-quality training from Worthington which fostered his development in the Company. “There were always external job offers,” he said. “But it was always clear to me that I would remain loyal to the Company.” | <urn:uuid:6e819f7b-7740-4ac1-8491-97d60f5af52a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.worthingtonindustries.eu/2022/maker-of-legacies-a-passion-for-manufacturing-and-a-philosophy-that-spans-generations/ | 2023-10-03T13:10:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.98208 | 526 |

A report from New York Post’s Andrew Marchand reveals the exclusive WWE TV rights negotiating windows for both FOX and NBCUniversal have closed for RAW and SmackDown.
WWE is free to explore signing a deal with other networks and streaming platforms.
One of the leading streaming platforms expected to enter into talks with WWE is Amazon Prime Video. The likes of Apple and Warner Bros. Discovery may show interest but are not expected to make a play for the broadcasting rights.
In regard to traditional broadcasters, FOX and NBCU are still reportedly the favorites to retain WWE broadcast, but Disney has shown interest in WWE programming to air on FX but not ESPN, as ESPN "can’t guarantee a specific night of the week due to their rotating slate of games."
The report noted something very interesting, “One nugget I was told that may interest wrestling fans is that Warner Bros. Discovery does not have to stay exclusive to AEW. It would be something if it got in on WWE. But I don’t see it yet.”
There will be much speculation and news throughout the summer, we'll keep you updated!

The Writers' Union of Canada is pleased to announce the short list of nominees for the seventeenth annual DANUTA GLEED LITERARY AWARD. The Award recognizes the best first English-language collection of short fiction by a Canadian author published in 2013. The Award consists of cash prizes for the three best first collections, with a first prize of $10,000 and two additional prizes of $500.
The jury this year comprised authors Candas Jane Dorsey, Russell Wangersky, and Ian Williams, who determined the short list from 28 collections submitted. The jury noted the task of creating a short list of five titles was very difficult due to the depth and quality of the submissions they read. This is an ongoing testament to the strength and value of the short story in Canadian literature, and is an especially poignant tribute to the form in the year following Alice Munro’s Nobel Prize win.
Those finalists are:
- Théodora Armstrong, Clear Skies, No Wind, 100% Visibility, Astoria
- Lisa Bird-Wilson, Just Pretending, Coteau Books
- Astrid Blodgett, You Haven’t Changed a Bit, University of Alberta Press
- Paul Carlucci, The Secret Life of Fission, Oberon Press
- Eufemia Fantetti, A Recipe for Disaster & Other Unlikely Tales of Love, Mother Tongue Publishing
The winners will be announced at The Writers’ Union of Canada’s OnWords Conference on May 31st.
The Award was created as a celebration of the life of Danuta Gleed, a writer whose short fiction won several awards before her death in December 1996. Danuta Gleed’s first collection of short fiction, One of the Chosen, was posthumously published by BuschekBooks. The Award is made possible through a generous donation from John Gleed, in memory of his late wife, and is administered by The Writers’ Union of Canada.
Jury Comments on the Finalists for the
2013 DANUTA GLEED LITERARY AWARDS
Théodora Armstrong, Clear Skies, No Wind, 100% Visibility, Astoria
Sharp and accomplished, the stories in Théodora Armstrong’s Clear Skies, No Wind, 100% Visibility don’t read like a first collection: they read like the work of an accomplished author already comfortable in her skin, and in her characters’ skins as well. They ring with a sense of place and a carved-out space in your mind. You don’t jump towards the unlikely – you simply read and believe that what you read has happened, curving into your head like memories you’d experienced yourself but had forgotten until then. There is a real art to building an experience a reader has never had: Armstrong has that art, yet uses it with care.
Lisa Bird-Wilson, Just Pretending, Coteau Books
Lisa Bird-Wilson writes of women and men making, and sometimes losing, their chances for magic and understanding; loneliness and tragedy abound, and yet also humour and unlikely connections. An isolated teenage mother bonding with her baby is both profoundly together with this other person and yet also still alone: “She longed to tell someone, but there was no-one to tell.” Wesakechak emerges from a wine bottle to bring doomed wishes to a group of people “not so young any more” and “old enough, maybe, to know better,” and yet, at the end, they love him despite the failure of magic answers. Bob’s camping adventure is pure slapstick tragedy, and yet, at the end of it, “for a moment, he thought he knew exactly what it was all about.” Bird-Wilson’s Métis heritage is central and yet also tangential to her power as a storyteller. These stories evoke sadness and the shock of life’s brutality, but also a sense of unexpected kindness and great pleasure.
Astrid Blodgett, You Haven’t Changed a Bit, University of Alberta Press
The characters in Astrid Blodgett’s You Haven’t Changed a Bit live rather than perform. They are being recorded rather than created. And they are being recorded covertly in their kitchens and trucks rather than under the lights of reality TV. Even under the scrutiny of the reader, the characters act without the self-consciousness of being trapped in fiction. Blodgett’s debut collection is a prime example of literary short fiction: she satisfies the voyeuristic impulse; her voice is like clear water; she attends to ordinariness with reverence. Most of all, she enters and enlarges one’s privacy in preparation for living a more attuned life.
Paul Carlucci, The Secret Life of Fission, Oberon
The Secret Life of Fission by Paul Carlucci delivers the explosiveness alluded to in its title – sharp-edged language and a kind of flying-apart. Nothing gentle here: families and relationships are either in the midst of blowing apart or else already hopelessly broken, and all is portrayed with a careful, almost dissected language that prevents the reader from glancing away. The work is spare, careful, direct and fully engrossing. These are stories well told, and unsettling the way only honesty is.
Eufemia Fantetti, A Recipe for Disaster & Other Unlikely Tales of Love, Mother Tongue Publishing
Eufemia Fantetti’s slim volume of stories, A Recipe for Disaster, is more of a treat than a snack for literary foodies who like their stories fun, brisk, and effortless. The theme of food is sustained without dominating the stories; it functions like a recurring secondary character or a soundtrack. Fantetti’s storytelling is both supple and disciplined as if she were whisking plots and characters together until the reader can hardly distinguish whether characters are acting or being acted upon. True to life, that’s how disasters work.

I engaged a mini truck carrier for transporting Auto Parts from Jigani to Khargone. In my new job, this was my first task. I was new to the company and no knowledge about the process. I searched online and got help from XPL customer care experts. The company quoted me an amount for the transporting . Initially, I thought that the rate was pretty high, but when I compared the rates from other service providers, it was slightly high. But in the end, i noticed the overall cost was low and the service was very good.

I love watching YouTube moms. One of my favorites is Britneyandbaby. I just watched her recent video where she vented out on being a parent. I thought about this and agreed with her on certain aspects.
My Question to you:
1. Is being a parent really hard work?
2. What makes this title so difficult for some than others?
3. Does money really buy happiness?
Not so long ago, I chatted to a young woman who isn’t a mother yet but kept on giving me advice on how a child should be raised and what I should do differently. I took it all in, came home.. realizing that my husband and I are thee only ones that know our daughter and her personality. How I’m I suppose to listen to someone who doesn’t even have a kid yet? Is that even possible?
I recently did a post on stay at home moms and how it’s not as easy as some people think it is. Multi tasking with a child can be difficult for a stay at home or working parent. I believe being a parent is hard but it’s also a choice we make. Right now I wouldn’t consider having a second child, reason being its difficult already with Kitana alone.
Parents that have 3 kids and pregnant with the 4th, are they still allowed to vent? Some say, you made your bed now sleep in it…but there are days where you want to wake up even if it’s for a minute or 2. If I have a second child now, I might become very emotional and lost. I don’t have the time to watch 2 babies and breastfeed both of them. Yes there are some mothers who can do it but there are many who struggle. Not everyone can afford 2/3 helpers like celebrities.
Please don’t compare me to Angelina Jolie or Kim Kardashian. I’m an ordinary woman whose trying to be a mother, student, entrepreneur and a wife.
There are moments when I feel like screaming or curling in a ball and just sleeping but that won’t help me at all. I still have to wake up at 6am every morning and look after a little person who trusts me and needs me.
Parents have the right to vent. We human after all. Sometimes I feel down and depressed and sometimes I want to pause the moment and let it last forever. For me, motherhood is a challenge. Everything that could go wrong, kinda did go wrong. I have a toddler who is a fussy eater, co-sleeps, breast feeds and who is extremely clingy. I’m still learning to deal with this. Each day gets better, I’m still new at this. First child and first time experiences but the question remains, will it get better or worse with the second?! It’s scary as you not sure what to expect, reality is very different from perception. What to expect when you’re expecting is a brilliant movie for those who want a little peek into parenting and pregnancy.
Trying to change the current situation is not easy, it takes time and patience.
Moms need a break.
Moms need at least one day of sleeping in.
One afternoon off from cooking, cleaning and maybe half day off from being a parent.
When I say a day off from being a parent, I mean girl or pamper time!
I love meeting with friends and just catching up. It takes my mind of my busy schedule and allows me to be free. I know I’m a mom but I’m also a young woman. Parenting is never going to be easy! We just have to learn to make it work. Each family is different and each child is unique. Please don’t compare your perfect child with my fussy toddler. If you think parenting has been easy for you, I salute you! Please share your secret with the rest of us.
I don’t think I’m a perfect mom and don’t think I will ever be.
”Being a mom is hard work. It can be exhausting, overwhelming and downright stressful. If I knew how hard being a mom would be, would I do it all over again? ABSOLUTELY. I would just know that it’s okay to not love every minute of it!” Janet Casey, Founder of Tell Another Mom.

Spanish diminutive of manta cape manta
American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition
From Spanish diminutive of manta.
The palliolum was a kind of mantilla.
The Spanish mantilla is a covering for the head and shoulders of white or black lace or other material, the characteristic head-dress of women in southern and central Spain.
Leaning on her arm was a slightly-built old lady with white ringlets, dressed all in black and wearing a lace mantilla.
Escaping from her father she ran to hide her flushed face in the lace of her mother's mantilla--not paying the least attention to her severe remark--and began to laugh.
Natasha, raising her face for a moment from her mother's mantilla, glanced up at her through tears of laughter, and again hid her face.

5 Short-Term Rental Property Manager Headaches
Founder & CEO
Managing properties at scale – whether it’s real estate, hotels, rentals, or something else – is certainly no easy feat, but short-term rental property management comes with its own special set of challenges.
First, many vacation rentals in the U.S. are owned by individuals and managed by a property management company (PMC). This adds a layer of fiduciary responsibility for the PMC to accurately report and distribute its owners’ income as well as its own. And second, unlike long-term rentals, where guests are under contract for months or years, the nature of short-term rentals is to be a high-frequency, high-traffic business.
Even for those with experience in property management, it can be easy to overlook small details that compound over time in this fast-evolving business environment. To help you prepare for the road ahead, learn what challenges you’re likely to encounter as a vacation rental property manager, particularly as you continue to scale your business.
Damage & troublesome renters
Unlike renting to someone through a lease, you can’t do background checks on every renter that books out your property. While Airbnb does provide a limited vetting process, this can’t be said for every platform, and you should have as many protocols as possible in place for potentially troublesome guests.
For starters, make sure that your homeowners are properly insured so that claims can be easily filed in the event of damage. Furthermore, it’s important to have on-call, on-site personnel that can look in on any complaints or other situations that may arise.
Carefully-enforced guest policies are key to avoiding the troublesome renter situations mentioned above. Make sure that each of your guests signs a rental agreement prior to booking that indicates the consequences for damage, cancellation, no-shows, fraud, and beyond.
Keeping yourself and owners protected through a blanket contract that covers rules and regulations for all the properties you manage is the best way to ensure you stay covered in the event of legal action.
Moreover, it also helps you deal with day-to-day circumstances like last-minute renter cancellations. If you have a clearly stated cancellation policy, you can avoid any gray areas with changes in bookings.
Maintenance & contractor management
With vacation rental property management, there is a good amount of maintenance required. High turnover means more opportunities for wear and tear, so having a well-trained and experienced maintenance staff is vital. Your housekeeping crew should be instructed to keep an eye out for new damages between renters, and routine checks should be done to ensure everything in a home is working properly.
Your maintenance crew might be employees or they might be contractors. If they’re the latter, you’ll want to have effective contractor management procedures in place, including separate accounting for them and your full-time employees. Using a flexible vacation rental accounting platform can help keep these expenses separate.
If you’re managing a vacation rental property, then chances are you’re overseeing a tourist-heavy destination. This means that seasonal fluctuations are a reality of the business. If you’re managing vacation rentals near a ski town or a beach, you’ll probably want to consider a multitude of factors, such as protecting the property against heat or freezing temperatures as well as the effects of seasonal demand for rentals.
Not only should you implement special maintenance procedures for each season (such as pipe thawing in winter or stronger pest control in summer), you should consider staffing availability. Many vacation rental property management companies hire seasonal employees, but figuring out how to factor these employees into your existing accounting operations can be complicated.
This is another area where having a knowledgeable vacation rental accounting service can help.
Monthly accounting cycle
Accounting for vacation rentals is unique because the business has so many different moving parts. Most entrepreneurs who approach short-term rentals with a basic knowledge of accounting and a can-do attitude will quickly (and sometimes painfully) realize that it’s more work than they thought.
The need to allocate funds from guests to owners, the allocation of expenses and vendor payments, the need for trust accounting, and the push for detailed, accurate, and on-time owner statements, all make the monthly accounting cycle painfully slow for a business that thrives by staying on its toes.
In fact, frustration with owner statements is one of the most common reasons our clients say pushed them to revamp their accounting and finance processes.
With the recent launch of the Owner Statement Portal within VRPlatform™ by Ximplifi, property managers now have a way to speed up and simplify the monthly accounting cycle.
The Owner Portal builds on the accounting automation within VRPlatform™ to instantly calculate and post management commissions, owner revenues, and owner expenses, prepare detailed owner statements, and share them with owners through an online interface. Most importantly, the PMC can customize how revenues and expenses are grouped and labeled, which is a key piece of functionality that other apps miss.
Short-term rental management might come with a few headaches, but you can set yourself up for success by having the right systems and strategies in place to mitigate them before they become an issue. This includes documenting policies to protect you and your owners from damages as well as implementing an automated accounting system to help you easily manage income, payroll, bills, vendor payments, and owner statements, all in one place.

For those who think manipulating the human body and its organs to create something resembling the undead belongs solely to the realm of Science Fiction, it might be time for a reevaluation of that assumption.
A remarkable breakthrough in the field of biology comes with the creation of a ‘modular body’—a seemingly living entity that isn’t quite alive. Biologist Cornelis Vlasman envisions a human body that functions in a manner similar to the LEGO blocks we grew up with. Consequently, Vlasman developed OSCAR, a living, organic system composed of his own cells combined with the capabilities of technology. OSCAR’s distinctive feature is its interchangeable system, reminiscent of LEGO blocks, that allows for the formation of specific configurations. Moreover, Vlasman demonstrates how his electric brain module connects to a lung module, enabling interaction between the two synthetic ‘organs.’ The process continues as he attaches additional modules, such as a kidney and limbs. A bloodstream and nerve signals course throughout the connectors of this modular body.
Though Vlasman notes that OSCAR is merely in its prototype stage, it is evident that the system manages to convert the human body from a closed system into an open-source one. This modification indicates the potential for a damaged organ to be readily replaced with a new module. Additionally, with the attachment of supplementary modules, the human body could be ‘upgraded,’ allowing adaptability to various situations. Nonetheless, more work lies ahead for Vlasman, as merely using cells is not enough to ensure the experiment’s success and readiness for practical application. | <urn:uuid:a20e1ca3-8116-4933-9c88-ea449db8832e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://yonipnetwork.org/remarkable-breakthrough-scientists-develop-a-bizarre-modular-body-system/ | 2023-10-03T15:22:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.933846 | 333 |

In the future, you may no longer need a protective case for your iPhone and other Apple devices. That will be possible through Apple’s new plan to make the devices more dent and impact-resistant, which should also mean more durable surfaces against breakage.
According to a patent document from Apple (via Apple Insider), the company is granted a patent for so-called “spatial composites.” Apple discusses in the document the functions of the patent, saying they “relate generally to abrasion-resistant surfaces for electronic devices, and more particularly to incorporating abrasion-resistant elements into material of a housing to form abrasion-resistant surfaces.”
In the document, Apple discusses how different device housing materials have advantages and disadvantages. The company specifically describes how metal can be “resistant to dents, scratches or breakage” but “may interfere with radio signals entering or emanating from the device.” Meanwhile, it says that although “ceramic housings may be scratch resistant and transparent to radio signals,” it is “brittle” for housing. The tech giant also mentioned the pros and cons of using plastics as housing, which it says “may be transparent to radio signals and fairly strong, but may be prone to scratches or dents.”
With this, Apple proposes to use a combination of the said materials and place them intelligently in the housing to ensure their best properties will be utilized. “A housing of an electronic device includes a substrate defining an external surface and internal surface of the housing, at least one sidewall extending from the substrate, and abrasion-resistant members at least partly embedded in the substrate and extending beyond the external surface,” it explains. “The abrasion-resistant members are formed from metal or ceramic. The substrate may comprise a moldable matrix. The abrasion-resistant members are harder than the moldable matrix. An average distance between the adjacent abrasion-resistant members is between about 10 and 100 microns.”
Apple has already made huge improvements in the strength and quality of its latest products, yet it is undeniable that scratch resistance remains an issue in Apple products. As such, knowing that Apple is continuously trying to improve its product’s durability is interesting. However, it is unknown when the company plans to specifically implement the new patent in its creations, but it will certainly bring sturdier Apple devices in the future. | <urn:uuid:92903a8b-0488-4387-9973-c9fe738273d4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://yoodley.com/apples-patent-increased-housing-dent-impact-resistance/ | 2023-10-03T13:19:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.941037 | 534 |
We gathered a few suggestions from our Alongside: Young Life Leaders Facebook group for socially distant games and compiled them here for you!
First, we played a few innings of Shaving Cream Wiffle Ball at an intramural field. Play it like a normal baseball game, but filled the Wiffle ball with shaving cream before each pitch.
Then we spread a few tarps out around home base, and asked kids to bring stuff from home to slug. We also brought extra stuff for kids who didn’t bring anything. Some brought eggs, apples, watermelon, zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, a gallon of milk. Then we just took turns smashing stuff. Everyone had a blast!
Glow-in-the-dark Capture the Flag
You can get a great glow in the dark set from Amazon here. This is great for WyldLife or high school or even on a college campus where non-young lifers can join in.
You could also play glow-in-the-dark volleyball if you have access to a sand volleyball court!
Extreme Yoga Simon Says
A designated player or leader will call out yoga poses, and then the rest of the group must get into the pose as quickly as possible or risk being eliminated. You can escalate, calling the poses out faster and faster.
Have kids form a huge circle outside. Everyone gets a loop of tape stuck to their back. The object is to steal the tape off everyone’s backs without getting it taken from yours. Students run inside the circle stealing tape from other players back, once yours gets removed, you’re out. Last person standing wins!
Rock Paper Scissors
Song plays, everyone mixes, when music stops… Rock Paper Scissors (of any variation) and loser sits. The winner moves on to the next round.
Pool Noodle Tag
They actually sell pool noodles, marketed as “SOCIALLY DISTANCED noodles,” on Amazon and other stores!
Pom Cup Toss
Kids break up into partners and one kid holds a cup on his/her head while the other one tries to throw poms into it from 6 feet away. You can buy 2000 poms for $7 here.

After the discontinuation of the YU Shuttle during the Spring 2020 semester, the YU Security Department sent an email to the YU community on November 29 to announce the continuation of the shuttle service starting on November 30.
To allow for proper social distancing, instead of using the original shuttle van, a school bus will be used to shuttle YU students between campuses. Students will be required to sit in every other seat and not directly across, next to, or behind each other. Only undergraduate students who have reservations and wear a mask will be able to board the shuttle. The students who reserve their seats will get a confirmation email and will show that and their school ID to the security officer who will be monitoring who boards the bus.
In addition, there will be a limited schedule that the shuttle will run on. According to the YU Security Department, there will be one one-way daytime shuttle from Wilf to Beren at 8:00 a.m., three evening times from Wilf to Beren (6:15 p.m., 8:15 p.m., 10:15 p.m.) and three evening times from Beren to Wilf (5:15 p.m., 7:15 p.m., 9:15 p.m.). It will only be operating from Mondays to Thursdays starting on Monday, November 30 with the 5:15 p.m. Beren to Wilf time.
The location in which the shuttle will be dispatched on Wilf campus will be between 186th and 187th St on Amsterdam Ave facing north, near the Burger & Grill restaurant. Students will be able to wait for the bus in the Morgenstern Residence Hall lounge. For those boarding the bus on Beren campus, they should either wait in the Brookdale Residence Hall lounge or stand in front of the building at 50 E. 34th St.
As described in the email, students can reserve their seats either through the MY YU app or web browser. For the former, one should open the application and press “Menu>Scroll down to “Campus Info” category > Tap “Shuttle (Inter-Campus)” > Sign In using “User Login” > Use your Inside Track credentials to login > Follow the cues to register for the shuttle service.” For the latter, one should go to www.yushuttles.com > Menu > Scroll down to “Campus Info” category > Tap “Shuttle (Inter-Campus)” > Sign In using “User Login” > Use your Inside Track credentials to login > Follow the cues to register for the shuttle service.”
Some students have tried to raise awareness of the importance of restarting the shuttle service. Shani Wolfson (SCW ‘21) said that “I am very appreciative of the fact that YU has decided to reopen the shuttle in a COVID-19 safe way. With finals around the corner, I wish that the shuttle would run an hour or two later to help [B]eren students who want to study late in the [W]ilf library get home safely, but the fact that the shuttle is open at all is a win in my book.”
Any students with additional concerns or questions should contact the YU Security Department by emailing [email protected] | <urn:uuid:623c3ce8-8c4d-4953-9be3-d291b6f92bbf> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://yuobserver.org/2020/11/yu-shuttle-service-restarting-with-limited-hours/ | 2023-10-03T13:24:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511106.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20231003124522-20231003154522-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.926219 | 707 |
