Simplify the file claim process
I received the project brief and spent the first days clarifying the current process of filing an insurance claim (about 20 steps) and tried to re-design it while cutting back on the process steps. You see, filing a claim after you've had a car accident is something no one likes doing. Most of the time, people are still shocked or angry while recalling the event and having to complete 20 steps just makes them more angry.
Design the Interface with accordance to Ergo's Design System
While it may seem obvious that the UI needs to be done according to an existing style guide, it was actually quite a challenge because Ergo had just transitioned into a new Corporate Identity and there were a lot of design components missing in the new library which had to be created from scratch.
Ergo Digital IT was in the process of digitalizing various insurance products- for business clients as well as end clients.
As a Senior UX/UI Designer, I was involved in the product design of 5 different insurance products:
- a product for applying and managing bank Guarantees (B2B)
- a product for filing auto insurance Claims (B2C + B2B)
- a cyber insurance product (B2C)
- a B2B portal serving high-end business customers
- a business insurance online calculator (B2B)
The product development at Ergo Digital IT was following the SCRUM Framework. I was communicating with the Product Owner and the Development Team on a daily basis.
In-Person Interviews/ Usability Testing
In-person user interviews and usability testing were used to validate the initial assumptions and fix usability problems. The test person had to file an insurance claim after an imaginary incident, using the prototype. A total of 3 scenarios were tested with 20 participants.
- Would the test users report their vehicle damage online? What is important for them?
- Online claim reporting: how user-friendly is our solution?
- Are all questions easy to understand?
- What happens if the user is stuck? Do they stop using the online claim form?
- How can we improve the process?
The tests consisted of 2 parts:
Part 1 (app. 10 mins) -Short conversation about the user's current car insurance and experiences with reporting vehicle damage (qualitative).
Part 2 (app. 40 mins) -Conducting usability tests using an online prototype and one of 3 different test scenarios (quantitative) All conversations and screen time were recorded, so I was able to re-hear everything and evaluate the results.
User Interface Design and Prototyping
I took over the wireframes from another designer in the team and started creating the user interface.To make my life easier, I named the files inside Sketch to match the Tickets created in Jira. F.e. ECM 446, ECM 448 etc. This way, I could easily connect the exact screen the developers needed with the corresponding ticket. Next, I connected all the ready screens and created the User Flows. There was a total of 7 different user flows, based on the different car accident types.
You can view some more screens here.
New web app significantly reduced calls to customer support
The project was released in 2019 and is currently serving thousands of customers filing claims and reported a significant lower numbers of calls.
The Handoff included documenting the whole project from start to finish, including the results from the user testing to the Product Owner as well as hading over the design files and giving access to all screens to the Development Team. In addition, I prepared a separate Style Guide and Project Brief for the developers which also included the critical User Flows and critical interactions. | <urn:uuid:30864817-2d74-4824-9234-8d7a01cd5b64> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.iglika.co/ux-projects/car-damage-claim-web-app | 2023-10-04T20:20:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.958087 | 775 |

A comprehensive guide to Series A funding for product development
Reading time 9 mins
- A guide to Series A funding and its role in product development
- It’s generally the first round of venture capital financing, enabling companies to increase production, hire more talent, step up their marketing efforts, or expand into new markets
- Prepare for Series A funding by ensuring you’re able to deliver on what investors are looking for, e.g. a robust business model, demonstrable product/market fit, proof of traction, and a credible path to growth
- Timing is everything. Make sure to carefully weigh the advantages of securing additional funding (e.g. fuel for growth) against the disadvantages (e.g. loss of control or equity dilution)
- Carefully consider the potential implications and impact of Series A funding on the future growth of your product and business
Is your business ready to harness the potential of IoT? Our expert team can help design and implement bespoke IoT solutions. Reach out to us now to kick-start your IoT journey.
As you wade into the deep waters of product development, you’ll face many crucial sink-or-swim decisions. The choice of whether to pursue Series A funding for product development is significant: it’s the first round of external fundraising and venture capital financing, and its implications will reverberate through the entire life cycle of your product.
Unlocking the ins and outs of Series A funding, understanding what investors are looking for, weighing potential advantages against anticipated drawbacks, and envisaging the long-term impact on your venture can shape the course of your business journey.
How to secure early-stage product idea funding: A beginner’s guide
Free product/market fit template to ensure you’re meeting customer needs
How to find investors for your product idea
Laying the foundations for Series A funding
Firstly, it’s crucial to understand what Series A funding is and its place in the funding ecosystem. When you’re developing a new product, there are various stages of funding to tap into to help you progress. Series A is one such stage, typically following on from seed funding rounds.
Seed funding, as the name suggests, aims to help a business sprout from an idea into a functioning entity. You might be refining your product prototype or testing the market’s appetite at this stage. Read our guide to securing early-stage funding for your product idea if this is where you are.
When it comes to Series A, you’re no longer in the realm of proving your concept: you’re seeking to build upon an established foundation and scaling up. You may need to ramp up production, broaden your marketing efforts, hire more talent, or expand to new markets. According to data from Pitchbook, as of 2021, the average Series A round in the UK was roughly £5 million. This figure is by no means prescriptive; your needs could be above or below this average.
What are Series A investors looking for?
A significant part of gearing up for Series A investment for product development begins with getting your house in order. This includes everything from your financial statements to customer feedback surveys and demonstrating how you’ll meet expectations. Investors at the Series A stage will look for a few key things:
Firstly, they will scrutinise your business model. While seed investors might be content with a promising concept, Series A investors require a robust business model that shows a clear path to profitability. A study by Startup Genome reported that over 70% of tech startups fail due to premature scaling – meaning that many startups focus on spending money to expand the business before nailing what customers want, how to reach them, and ensuring the right product/market fit. A robust business model will help you prevent this from happening.
Investors also look for proof of traction. You need to demonstrate a growing user base, increasing sales, positive customer feedback, or any other indicators that show your product has a place in the market. A 2020 Silicon Valley Bank outlook survey showed that for 92% of investors, evidence of traction was a crucial consideration for Series A investments.
Additional proof-points that investors look for in startups looking to fundraise:
- A credible path to growth: What are your growth levers (e.g. acquisition, retention, referrals), and how do you intend to scale them? Do you have a demand pipeline waiting to be unlocked if you can scale your services or supply with more funding?
- A small but well-defined and well-understood niche that points to a bold, inspiring, and grander vision
- A clear and compelling narrative: Frame the problem, describe how to solve it, and explain what makes right now the opportune moment for your solution
- A talented team: Demonstrate your ability to attract and hire people that will bring a diversity of perspectives and qualities beyond those of the founding members
- A world-class pitch deck that leaves a lasting impression of how outstanding, knowledgeable, and insightful you are
- Social proof: Highlight any endorsements from top customers, angel investors, business partners, press stories etc
Preparation is key. Please read the rest of our tips on how to find investors if you’re considering Series A funding for product development to help ensure you’ve got all your bases covered.
The pros & cons of Series A funding for product development
Like all significant business decisions, Series A funding has its pros and cons. It’s crucial to be aware of both sides before diving in.
Series A funding advantages
Fuel for Growth: The capital injection is the most apparent benefit of Series A funding. This funding allows you to scale your operations, hire new talent, and expand into new markets.
Credibility: Securing Series A funding often brings a certain level of prestige. It can be a signal to the market that you’re a business worth watching, which can, in turn, attract more customers, partners, and even future investors.
Strategic Partnerships: Series A investors often bring more to the table than just funds. Many come with industry experience, connections, and strategic advice. According to a 2022 Harvard Business Review working paper, startups that utilise their investors’ expertise and networks often fare better and benefit more from their investor’s reputation than those who don’t.
Series A funding disadvantages
Loss of Control: With Series A funding comes new shareholders, who will likely want a say in how you run your business. You may find yourself answering to your investors, which can limit your control.
Pressure to Perform: With external funding comes the expectation of growth and returns. A 2022 report from Beauhurst showed that nearly 40% of startups that secured Series A funding faced considerable financial pressure to deliver results quickly.
Equity Dilution: Raising funds in a Series A round will dilute your equity. While this isn’t inherently negative, it does mean you’ll own a smaller piece of the pie.
How will Series A funding impact your business in the long term?
Finally, it’s crucial to consider the long-term impact of Series A funding for product development. The decisions you make at this stage can shape your product’s future and your company’s direction – allowing you to finance expansion plans, hire new staff, invest in new equipment, and refine product features to fit the market/customer better. On the other hand, it could also lead to premature expansion if the timing isn’t right.
Securing Series A funding can also pave the way for future funding rounds. Each round allows you to reach new heights but also comes with unique challenges and requirements. Don’t miss out on our next post, where we’ll explain everything you need to know about Series B funding.
A final word on product development financing
Remember, Series A funding isn’t the end of your funding journey – it’s just another step.
The world of Series A funding is exciting but challenging, lucrative but stressful. It’s what will allow you to pivot from the survival mode mindset of an entrepreneur to the sustainability mode of an established business. However, you can navigate these waters successfully with a solid understanding of the pros and cons, a clear vision for your product backed by data, and a well-prepared pitch delivered with enthusiasm, expertise, and insight.

OBJECTIVE : To evaluate the free radical scavenging and cytotoxic activities of the butanolic (BuOH) extract, methanolic (MeOH) extract and 20-hydroxyecdysone extracted from the roots of Pfaffia glomerata .
MATERIALS AND METHODS : Pfaffia glomerata roots were collected, powdered and extracted with methanol by maceration at room temperature. The extract was concentrated under vacuum, yielding a residue, followed by a butanol extraction. The 20-hydroxyecdysone (EC) was obtained by chromatographic separation of the BuOH fraction. An amount of 10 mg of each dry extract and EC was dissolved in 0.1% dimethyl sulphoxide-phosphate-buffered-saline solution (DMSO-PBS) and screened for their capabilities on scavenging thiobarbiturate reactive substances (TBARS). The antioxidant activity of each extract was determined in vitro by measuring malonyldialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) in erythrocyte ghosts treated with ferric-ascorbate. The investigation has also included the cytotoxicity measurement by Trypan blue exclusion test and tetrazolium reduction assay in mice peritoneal macrophages.
RESULTS : The free radical scavenging activity of EC was higher than that present in the BuOH fraction. The MeOH extract showed a remarkable pro-oxidant activity. The EC-free radical reaction-inhibition was almost twice of that of the control a-Tocopherol (aT). The Trypan blue exclusion assay confirmed toxicity of the MeOH extract, whose lethality surpassed 80% of the treated macrophages after 1 h of 0.01 mg exposure per 106 cells.
CONCLUSIONS : The present study shows the antioxidant effect of the Brazilian Ginseng. The scavenging effect was evidenced for EC as well the BuOH fraction. The MeOH extract showed cytotoxicity on mice peritoneal macrophages. Such toxicity is probably due to ginsenosides present in this latter fraction and warrants further toxicological evaluation of the Brazilian Ginseng roots.

Every time I’m away from Cape Town for a few months, I spend my days yearning for its beauty – the ocean, the mountains, the forests, and my favourite beauty of all: the good food! So when I recently got back from London and had the chance to visit La Petite Ferme in Franschhoek, I was overjoyed.
I always enjoy driving out to – and spending time in – Franschhoek. I don’t think I do it often enough (have you seen the price of petrol?!), but it’s always worth it when I do. There’s something quite magical about the Franschhoek Valley.
I also recently started taking French lessons, so I think I enjoyed the trip this time even more as I got to translate (or attempt to translate) the names of various places en route – much to my poor sister’s dismay, who’s had to listen to me blabbering on in random French phrases for a few weeks now.
But even armed with a yearning for the Western Cape’s beauty and a bucketload of French vocabulary, I still don’t think I was quite prepared for how beautiful the views from La Petite Ferme are.
Welcome To La Petite Ferme
La Petite Ferme (“the little farm”) is situated on the opposite end of Franschhoek, heading up Pass Road past Haute Cabriere. It overlooks not only the town itself but the mountains surrounding it, and you can really enjoy the Franschhoek Valley in all its splendour from this angle.
The restaurant itself boasts the most fantastic views, but there’s also luxury accommodation available. Staying overnight at La Petite Ferme sounds like it would be the most spectacular experience – fresh mountain air, diamond night skies, and quiet all around … a girl can only dream!
The La Petite Ferme Restaurant
Luckily, what I dream about the most is food – and those dreams have a habit of coming true.
The restaurant at La Petite Ferme really is what foodie dreams are made of.
The estate is part of the Nest Collection and has recently appointed Stephen Raaff as the new head chef. The menu has been recreated with a touch of countryside cuisine and a touch of fresh contemporary feels.
The new summer menu just launched this month, and you’ll get to enjoy it for the foreseeable future. This is a set menu that’s available as a two-course or a three-course option, at R450 pp and R520 pp respectively.
The menu is small, but you know what they say about dynamite …
The I Love Foodies La Petite Ferme Review Experience
I was already impressed when our lovely waitress, Thabisa, led us to our table and immediately brought out the welcome bread.
You can always tell what type of restaurant you’re at from the welcome bread portion.
At La Petite Ferme, you’ll get to enjoy mosbolletjies with gorgeous beaten butter with garlic chips, dill oil, and herbs from the garden.
I could never be vegan. I love butter far too much. And La Petite Ferme’s beaten butter is as pretty as it is delicious!
We also ordered a bottle of the La Petite Ferme Chardonnay, which we enjoyed for the rest of the afternoon.
For starters, I was torn between the Beef Tartare (with parmesan thyme crumb, egg yolk puree, CBC amber ale mustard, crispy capers, pickled onion, and sourdough croûte) and the Scallop Ceviche (with shaved celery, citrus gel, compressed apple, puffed quinoa, and pancetta).
I always think about Mr Bean when I think of beef tartare (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you can watch the Mr Bean tartare clip on YouTube), but I actually quite like tartare.
Alas, how often do you see scallop ceviche on the menu? Or scallops in the first place? They’re exceedingly rare this side of the world.
I love scallops – cooked, raw, made up or dressed down – but I’ve never had scallop ceviche before and it’s quite unusual. Fascinating and delicious, yet unusual.
If you’ve had cooked or seared scallops before, you’ll be familiar with that sweet, buttery, chewy, tender flavour. If you haven’t, then that description may make no sense and I’d urge you to try it.
And if you’ve had scallop sushi before, you’ll be familiar with that very, very chewy almost bland but slightly seawater taste.
But scallop ceviche? Now, that’s a whole different ballgame.
These scallops were very evidently not cooked – and yet buttery soft with that typical ceviche citrus flavour. Every bite was an adventure – putting together the taste of the fresh compressed apple, the salty pancetta, the almost pungent celery, and that galaxy of flavours of the actual scallop meat itself.
I’d definitely have this dish again just to explore those flavours more.
On that note, the compressed apple reminded me of the cucumber compressed apples we had at Gate Restaurant at Quoin Rock earlier this year, which I still dream about all the time!
Scallops aside …
Buttermilk Fried Chicken
Sabine opted for the Buttermilk Fried Chicken, served with grilled pineapple, sweet chilli, cabbage slaw, avocado puree, pickled cucumber, and tom yum mayo.
She absolutely loved this dish and couldn’t stop raving about the pickled cucumber! These trick you a bit because they look like normal, fresh English cucumber and then – surprise! – pickled goodness all the way!
Now, I’ll say upfront that mixing the chicken with the scallops is not a good idea – the flavours are too contrasting. But, alas, I have to try it all, right?
I also really liked the dish. I have been slightly obsessed with buttermilk fried chicken since I had an onset of chicken burger cravings at Bootlegger’s earlier this year. Yes, I still haven’t been able to shake that obsession and have to order buttermilk chicken wherever I go.
You don’t need to ask me why I didn’t order it at La Petite Ferme. There’s a simple two-word answer: Scallop Ceviche.
But, the buttermilk fried chicken is a heartier option that’ll probably suit more taste profiles than the scallop ceviche.
Moving On To Mains
For me, choosing my main dish was a no-brainer: Kudu Loin served with sweet potato pomme anna, wilted spinach, tenderstem, pumpkin puree, confit garlic, chimichurri.
There are tons of other amazing options on the menu, but I’ll pretty much always choose the venison option if there is one.
Sabine had a bit more of a struggle with the mains. Linefish? Pork Belly? Karoo Lamb?
She eventually decided on the Pork Belly with Asian glaze, baby corn, mange tout, candied chilli peanuts, lemongrass & coconut broth.
Both dishes were spectacular.
The flavour and texture of the meats, the accompanying vegetables, the whole composition of both dishes – every second eating this was pure enjoyment.
The dishes were also very light and you’re very unlikely to feel heavy or weighed down after lunch!
I definitely loved my Kudu Loin as much as I enjoyed my stolen bites of the Pork Belly and would have both again in a heartbeat.
Finishing It Off With Dessert
La Petite Ferme probably has my new favourite dessert menu, simply because they have so many options that aren’t sinfully sweet.
I opted for the White Chocolate and Brie Cheesecake (served with cherry gel, pickled cherries, caramelised white chocolate, candied pecans, celery leaf) and Sabine had the Cheeseboard with apple beetroot chutney, sourdough croûte, preserved figs, and grapes.
The White Chocolate & Brie Cheesecake was spectacular! If you’re a sweet tooth, you may find it a bit too savoury, but I certainly enjoyed that slight touch of sweetness in this very fluffy creation, perfectly balanced by the cherry gel and candied pecans.
And Sabine’s Cheeseboard was just as fantastic. This is probably one of the prettiest cheeseboards I’ve ever seen, and it perfectly matches creamy cheeses with some sweet fruit and the delightful apple beetroot chutney.
Both are worth ordering again!
Should You Visit?
Absolutely! Visiting La Petite Ferme should be on your bucket list for this summer – and any other time!
The views are magical, the service astounding, and the food will take you on a magic ride better than Alladin can!

I’m not sure if you’ve ever heard of a meme, but that’s where someone starts a theme of some sort and other people adopt it and do the same thing for a day or two (my buddy Peter says he doesn’t do memes; let’s see if I can goad him into the challenge lol). Well, it seems I’ve created my own meme where I’ve written 10 quick tips that shouldn’t take most people long to read. I’ve got a bunch of them on this blog, including one on writing and one on blogging and a few others here and there, including on my other blogs.
The plan is simple; write a post that gives information that hopefully the reader can digest in 2 minutes. I think this works great and should be something that everyone should be able to do. I sometimes like writing something like this to follow up a relatively long post.
Anyway, giving it another shot here so let’s get going:
1. Create a blog so you can communicate often with the masses, which includes your potential customers.
2. Have at least a LinkedIn account, but it wouldn’t hurt to be on the other social media platforms.
3. Don’t always sell; be engaging here and there, at least 50% of the time.
4. Don’t say social media is worthless if you’ve never given it a try.
5. Be nice, even when you’ve got a gripe you want to get off your chest.
6. Every person is a potential customer or lead; remember that.
7. Nothing says you have to do it all in social media. Find what you feel comfortable and do just that.
8. However, you must be in social media; trust me, your competitors are.
9. If it didn’t work the way you thought it would it’s not anyone’s fault; when has anyone gotten everything right every time?
10. Be yourself; sometimes you only get one chance to impress people.
That’s it; enjoy the challenge! | <urn:uuid:9714660d-2dae-449e-841a-bf145c4bf722> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.imjustsharing.com/tag/social-media-tips/ | 2023-10-04T21:14:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.928751 | 452 |

In-Form Solutions have been supporting the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust’s Good Hope Hospital site for a number of years. Assignments have covered a wide variety of projects, including business case development, undertaking a feasibility review, supporting cost improvement, income generation, fundraising and innovation programmes.
In-Form Solutions successfully completed a feasibility study to develop a private patient wing at the hospital site. Our team undertook stakeholder engagement with managers and clinicians to draw up the hospital ward configuration as well as carrying out a detailed market assessment. This study was presented to the hospital board and accepted in full.
The hospital required a business case and specification to develop its front entrance to include a cafeteria, shops, meet and greet points and a secure and ambient area to relax and commissioned In-Form Solutions for the work. In addition to undertaking the business case work, In-form Solutions also led the successful negotiation with a contractor to support with the contribution of both capital and revenue costs and proposals for the way forward.
In-Form Solutions provided expert support to enable the hospital to develop a cost improvement programme, which involved drawing up a set of plans, templates and schedules as well as monthly performance management reports to measure progress. Our team ran stakeholder engagement sessions with individual managers and clinicians and then undertook detailed deep dives in areas such as Trauma and Orthopaedics. We then devised a unique, informative and engaging approach, by developing an Innovation Strategy. This included a communications plan, resulting in the organisation and development of roadshows and seminars, hosting and organising competitions, supported by targeted social media campaigning designed to engage staff, patients and the community.
Our team was actively engaged in the fundraising programme and helped to organise a number of events, including fêtes, concerts and balls. Our approach involved the team actively supporting the Trust by helping to raise new funds and ideas through this programme, which enabled the development of a new garden for patients and their families.
In-Form Solutions also chaired various steering groups, regularly reporting to Richard Parker the Managing Director of Good Hope Hospital.
Our work resulted in the successful delivery of:
Heart of England Foundation Trust commissioned In-Form Solutions to undertake a number of assignments to support the Good Hope Hospital Site Executive team to progress its cost improvement, fund raising and innovation programme.
The In-Form Solutions team supported both managers and clinicians by undertaking detailed service reviews such as a Deep Dive as well as developing new ideas, processes, templates and monitoring tools. The team not only provided their professional expertise, but they also engaged with the team by helping to organise, participate and support a number of fund raising and innovation schemes which generated new funds, events and ideas. I am happy to recommend In-Form Solutions to support any health care provider to develop and implement a cost improvement and innovation programme as well as providing their financial expertise."

Cambridge University Press Releases 2019/2020 Annual Report; Sales Up Nearly 3% vs. Previous Year
From the Cambridge U. Press:
A strong performance helped Cambridge University Press to secure an increase in sales during the last year, despite the impact of the global pandemic.
As the Press’s newly-published annual report for 2019/20 shows, nearly 11 months of strong growth were interrupted by the impact of COVID-19 during the last six weeks of the financial year and the subsequent global lockdown of schools and universities.
Despite the disruption to supply and a sharp fall in sales, the Press’s strong pre-pandemic performance was enough for it to end the year with sales up nearly three per cent on the previous year at £336 million [$437.1 million/USD]. Operating profits fell slightly to £23.6 million [$30.7 million/USD], compared to £24.4 [$31.74 million] in 2019.

Helping families to fight against pornography
Author Emily Olivia discusses the access children have to pornography — and why her new book Put A Lid On It: Exposing the Pornography Trap aims to assist parents in navigating the challenging online landscape, with their kids.
Are your kids looking at pornography? Maybe. Conservative estimates suggest 140 million people are online right now, looking at pornography. Many of them would be children; the average age of exposure to porn is 11 and, startlingly, 90 per cent of 8-16 year olds are believed to have encountered pornography online.
Insights was provided with such shocking statistics by Melbourne mum Emily Olivia. A psychology student and mother of three boys, Emily doesn’t claim to be an expert about how pornography affects children (or how parents could encourage their kids to not view it). But the reason we are tackling such a disturbing topic with Emily is because she was so disturbed by the potential impacts of pornography on children, she decided to do something about it.
“As parents, I think we often want to address the issue – but we don’t know how and we need some support,” explains Emily, who wrote Put a Lid On It: Exposing the Pornography Trap as a resource for parents and their children to use, to sensitively discuss pornography. “I hope my book would be able to do that for parents, because that’s what I needed but just couldn’t find.”
Emily was surprised to discover few other resources out there which intended to assist family units with confronting the live issue of pornography. She began researching the extent of the porn problem with children, and thinking through a biblical response to it. Also driving the illustrated Put a Lid On It — suitable for children aged six and up — was a personal desire to not repeat what Emily’s husband experienced when his mate showed him pornography. It was the 1980s, he was 11 and his Christian family didn’t really discuss such prickly matters. “He didn’t know what it was,” says Emily.
“He didn’t know how to deal with it or what to do with it.
“What we wanted for our kids was for them to be able to talk to us, about stuff that came up. And we knew pornography is an issue more so now than it was back then.”
Put a Lid On It is not just notable for striving to help parents speak openly, comfortably and appropriately with their children about pornography. Emily’s book also is grounded in an ethical approach to relationships and sex that comes from the creator of relationships and sex. “I couldn’t have written the book without a biblical foundation. I couldn’t have written it without God because, especially with these sorts of topics, God has to be a foundation in why we do what we do.”
Why would God be the answer when trying to encourage children – and adults, of course – to flee from pornography? “I think there is a real spiritual element to sex, to pornography, to relationships,” says Emily about the deeper connections which God has infused within personal intimacy. Books in the Bible, such as Ephesians, helped Emily to understand God’s design for sex in relationships. In the fifth chapter of Ephesians, God’s design is framed in light of Jesus’s bond with the Christian church.
In contrast with such a positive, meaningful model for intimacy, Emily has been disturbed by links between pornography use by men, and domestic violence that some of them commit. Emily has investigated research into this connection and concludes such men have a “distorted”, dangerous view of what is at the foundation of marital relationships. “I think it’s that spiritual nature that is being played with,” confirms Emily, before pointing out the sad future of a society that normalises pornography.
“We can look around and see where we are headed because, at this stage, we are not really applying a biblical filter or foundation to the issue of pornography.”
“We’re finding in this research about violence against women that we’re not treating women with respect. A lot of pornography is quite violent and abusive and damaging. If that is left unchecked, that’s where we are headed.
“And not just women… Husbands, families, relationships in general – how are we treating people?”
How are we treating people? Great question. Here’s another one: How are we treating our kids when it comes to this confronting area of sexuality? Emily believes we should be treating our kids to a wide range of support, scrutiny and sensitive discussion. Because there is no one solution. Instead, from internet filters to having transparent conversations and reading Put a Lid on It together, Emily suggests using as many tools as you can (all under the umbrella of God’s word). “Yes, filtering is great and, yes, this book is great, but we need to use them all together.” | <urn:uuid:e623b4e6-b603-4b06-ad37-27e4294cec12> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.insights.uca.org.au/helping-families-to-fight-against-pornography/ | 2023-10-04T21:05:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.973025 | 1,072 |
My mom loved to copy quotes from church signs. I've always enjoyed them, too. They are great instruments in speaking to our hearts and helping us to improve ourselves and be more like Jesus. My mom died two years and some time last year, I came across all the quotes she kept. I decided to make a book out of them. I just recently completed it and published it on Amazon.

Introduction: Mcpe Prison
Here is how to make a mcpe prison in creative mode!
Step 1: Main
First off make a MASSIVE area for the cells to be this should cover a large area i personally made it 27 blocks wide, 29 blocks long and 14 blocks high
Step 2: Interior
Make the interior but remember to make 2 floors for cells. The ceiling for the first floor must be 6 blocks high and the ceiling must only cover 18 blocks make sure the ceiling covers the side your going to put the kitchen and showers.You now have room for 8 cells!
Make the roof out of fences or iron bars!
Step 3: Kitchen and Showers
Go back outside and add and extension that will be 10 blocks long and 6 blocks high! Now you have room for a kitchen and showers
Step 4: GREAT ESCAPE
have stairs leading up to the top cells and have a door leading to the roof of the kitchen and showers. Now put a wall around the roof of the kitchen/showers and put cobwebs on the wall this will look like barbed wire. Have a ladder leading up to the cell area roof and make a platform to get out
Step 5: Freedom
Make a boat of a skybase and make parkour so it's more challenging to win!
Step 6: End
I really hope this helped if you have any questions post a comment remember to follow for daily minecraft pe instructables! | <urn:uuid:5b427ce5-5b9d-411b-9823-071e3a0c6976> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.instructables.com/mcpe-Prison/ | 2023-10-04T19:23:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.919981 | 298 |
Combination therapies effective against COVID-19 variants in animal studies
Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) therapies made from combinations of two antibodies are effective against a wide range of variants of the virus, according to new research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis published in the journal Nature. Further, combination therapies appear to prevent the emergence of drug resistance.
The study, in mice and hamsters, tested all single and combination antibody-based therapies authorized for emergency use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or that are being evaluated in late-stage clinical trials, against a panel of emerging international and U.S. variants of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
The findings suggest that COVID-19 drugs made of two antibodies often retain potency as a therapy against variants even when in vitro studies indicate that one of the two antibodies has lost some or all ability to neutralize the variant, according to the study.
"We knew how these antibodies were behaving in vitro, but we don't give people drugs based solely on cell culture data," said Michael Diamond, MD, PhD, senior author of the study and professor of medicine, in a statement. "When we looked in animals, there were some surprises. Some of the combinations performed better than we thought they would, based on in vitro data. And there was no drug resistance to combinations whatsoever, across all the different variants. We're going to have to continue to monitor the effectiveness of antibody therapy as more variants arise, but combination therapy is likely needed for treating infections with this virus as more variants emerge."
So-called monoclonal antibodies mimic those generated by the body to fight off the virus that causes COVID-19. Administration of antibody therapies bypasses the body's slower and sometimes less effective process of making its own antibodies. At the time this study began, there were two dual-antibody combination therapies and a single antibody therapy authorized by the FDA for emergency use. The FDA withdrew authorization for the single antibody therapy, bamlanivimab, in April on the grounds that it was not effective against the variants circulating at that time. In May, the FDA authorized the single antibody sotrovimab as a treatment for COVID-19.
In all, the researchers evaluated antibodies corresponding to the FDA-authorized ones, as well as the antibodies currently under development that are in clinical trials. The researchers tested the antibodies against a panel of virus variants containing key mutations in their spike genes. The SARS-CoV-2 virus uses spike protein to invade cells. All monoclonal antibody-based COVID-19 therapies work by interfering with the interaction between spike protein and cells.
The panel included mutations found in three of the four variants that have been designated "variants of concern" by the World Health Organization, Alpha (first identified in the United Kingdom), Beta (South Africa) and Gamma (Brazil), as well as an emerging variant from India similar to the Delta variant of concern. They also tested variants from New York and California. The researchers used a mix of virus samples originally obtained from people with COVID-19 and laboratory strains genetically engineered to contain key mutations.
The researchers evaluated the antibodies in hamsters and two strains of mice. The researchers first gave the animals antibodies, singly or in the same combinations in which they are given to treat patients, a day before infecting them with one of the virus variants. The researchers monitored the animals' weight for six days and then measured the amount of virus in their noses, lungs, and other parts of the body.
Although some single antibodies showed reduced or no ability to neutralize virus variants in a dish, low doses of most of the antibody combinations protected against disease caused by many of the variants. The researchers sequenced viral samples from the animals and found no evidence of drug resistance in viruses from any of the animals that had been treated with combination therapies.
Since antibody-based COVID-19 therapies primarily are used to treat people who already are infected, the researchers also evaluated how well the antibody combinations performed when given after infection with the Beta variant. The Beta variant was chosen because it has been shown to be most likely to escape neutralization in laboratory-based experiments and has the most resistance to COVID-19 vaccines.
“It's going to be useful going forward to understand how these monoclonal antibodies are going to behave as variants continue to emerge," said Diamond. "We need to think about and generate combinations of antibodies to preserve our ability to treat this disease. And we'll need to monitor for resistance, although, in my opinion, the use of specific combinations will make this less of an issue.” | <urn:uuid:68c7841f-76c3-44f3-8831-379127f00782> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.integrativepractitioner.com/practice-management/news/2021-06-23-combination-therapies-effective-against-covid-19-variants-in-animal-studies | 2023-10-04T19:02:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.963083 | 971 |
Nokia has announced that it will reduce emissions by 50% across both its own operations and products in use by 2030. The company’s new science-based targets (SBTs) fulfill its commitment to recalibrate in line with a 1.5°C global warming scenario.
Nokia first committed to SBTs in 2017, initially with goals based on limiting global warming to 2°C. The company achieved 90% of its target savings within its own operations 11 years ahead of target and was on track to deliver its targets for products in use with its customers.
Nokia is now adopting more ambitious targets which consider a 1.5°C warming limit, starting with 2019 as the baseline. These have been expanded to cover a broader base, close to 100% of the company’s current product portfolio. They also now include emissions from both logistics and assembly factories within its supply chain, as well as emissions from Nokia’s own operations.
Pekka Lundmark, President and CEO, Nokia said: “We have led the way in reducing emissions from our own operations and helping our customers to do the same by continuously innovating to make our products more energy efficient in recent years. But climate change is a race against time. These tougher, new, scientifically-calibrated climate targets mean we will go further and faster to reduce our carbon footprint and ensure sustainability is at the heart of our product design and the smart solutions we enable.”
SBTs are authenticated by the science-based targets initiative (SBTi) that works with private sector businesses to validate their emissions reduction targets in line with global requirements. SBTi will update Nokia’s targets on the https://sciencebasedtargets.org/ website.
Products in use is the largest part of Nokia’s carbon footprint and the company is addressing in multiple ways, from hardware and software energy efficiency to product design, to modernisation and better use of resources
In December 2020, the company was recognised for its contributions towards cutting emissions, mitigating climate risks and developing a low-carbon economy and included on CDP’s A list in the Climate change category, the defacto standard for carbon disclosure.Click below to share this article | <urn:uuid:e0d2b841-8c23-46e5-b7f9-328ffe1fcc9c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.intelligentcxo.com/2021/03/08/nokia-to-halve-emissions-from-2019-to-2030/ | 2023-10-04T19:23:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.961447 | 455 |
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has sharply increased its IT staffing budget, rising to a total of £150 million – almost double the pre-pandemic figure, according to official data.
The findings, obtained under the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act by the Parliament Street think tank, revealed that a total of £152,871,499 was spent on 4,032 IT staff in the most recent financial year ending March 2023. This was a 91% increase on 2019’s figure of £79,916,209 where only 2,203 staff were in post.
The FOI also revealed that HMRC has launched several new initiatives within its IT department, the Chief Digital and Information Office (CDIO) recently. HMRC said that around 2,000 learning requests for courses and training are submitted annually by staff, with some staff attending multiple programmes.
HMRC also said that it has developed 15 academies for CDIO that deliver professional learning for specific technical roles such as data scientists or for functions and technologies like cloud computing. The FOI response stated: “The academies use a blended approach of externally and internally developed learning content. They are led by internal subject matter experts who ensure we are aligned to industry standards and using the best learning opportunities for our people.”
James Campanini, CEO, VeUP, said: “It’s encouraging to see HMRC investing in IT skills and cloud support, areas which will enable it to vastly improve public services and reduce costs in the long-term.”Click below to share this article | <urn:uuid:3ec94340-f5e7-4ebc-ab3f-11dee03f8cc1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.intelligentcxo.com/2023/05/03/hmrc-splashes-150-million-on-digital-skills-and-launches-academy-training-programme/ | 2023-10-04T20:36:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.968124 | 326 |
Each year, millions of people are diagnosed with eye conditions — and Hollywood stars are no exception. In this blog post, Dr. Edward Hedaya of InVision EyeCare reveals some celebrities that have spoken publicly about their chronic eye condition or disease.
Former Friends star Jennifer Aniston recently admitted she was “addicted to eye drops” and had trouble reading scripts due to dry, itchy eyes. Aniston struggled with chronic eye syndrome for years but didn’t know it was a diagnosable condition until a year ago. The actress has now partnered with a pharmaceutical company to spread awareness on dry eye syndrome.
As the lead singer of the band U2, Bono is known for his distinct vocals and dark-colored sunglasses. During a 2014 interview, the singer revealed that the sunglasses are more than just a fashion statement. Bono admitted he has glaucoma, an eye disease that makes eyes sensitive to light and glare (hence the sunglasses). Often called the “silent thief of sight,” glaucoma has no early symptoms and can eventually lead to blindness. But thanks to advanced therapies and surgical methods, glaucoma can be managed.
“I have good treatments,” Bono said during the interview. “And I am going to be fine.”
In 2013, Academy Award winning actor John Goodman revealed he was taking time off from acting to take care of his health, including undergoing cataract surgery. The procedure, which involves removing the eye’s clouded lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), is one of the most commonly (and successfully) performed surgeries today.
In 2014, Goodman’s Roseanne co-star Roseanne Barr announced she had been diagnosed with two chronic eye diseases. Barr has both glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. Neither disease has a known cure but treatment can help stave off vision loss.

A Statement from the International Council
This gross violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity is not just devastating Ukraine. It will cause untold damage to Russia and its proud history. The people of both countries are being forced into a war that they do not want. The manoeuvrings and ambitions of a dictatorial government do not represent the views of all Russians.
The tragedy of war is that innocent people and unarmed civilians will pay a terrible price. Death and destruction affect everyone across generations and for a long time. We grieve deeply.
Ukraine and Europe are now again in the front line of the struggle between democracy and authoritarianism, between peaceful co-existence and territorial expansion. Everyone has a part to play, wherever in the world they are. If freedom is threatened in one place, it is threatened everywhere.
We in Initiatives of Change will play our part. In many European countries our colleagues are taking action to support Ukraine, contacting our policy makers, raising funds for medical supplies and clothing, caring for refugees. And praying.
We challenge our governments to stop this war and be compassionate to its victims. This is not a time for grandstanding.
There are people of good will on both sides of this struggle. We have dear friends in all these communities who reject this invasion. We will use our centres to bring together Russians and Ukrainians, knowing that their true destiny is one of friendship, and that Ukraine can become a bridge of understanding and cooperation between Russia and Western Europe.
We honour all who work for peace and stand in solidarity with them.

Have you ever heard of the…
A4 waist challenge, where women showed how their waists were narrow enough to fit behind a sheet of A4 paper?
100 yuan challenge, where women showed how their wrists were narrow enough to be encompassed by a 100 yuan banknote?
Fit-inside-a-child’s-t-shirt challenge, where adult women showed how they could fit inside a child’s t-shirt from Uniqlo?
These were all trending unhealthy beauty challenges designed to promote “thinspiration” among Asian women.
Now, thinness is only one aspect of (in my opinion, ridiculous) Asian beauty standards, and the reality is, these standards have gotten out of control and are causing irreparable damage to young girls and women’s body image.
Let’s dive into this more.
I Didn’t Conform to Taiwanese Beauty Standards.
I was born in Taiwan but immigrated to Canada when I was 3. The first time I went back to Taiwan after moving abroad was when I was 12. And boy, was I in for a rude awakening.
I was unaware and unprepared for the fat-shaming and beauty standards in Taiwan.
You see, in Canada, I hardly gave any thought to my looks. I had my family and friends. I was healthy, going outside to play a lot, and I was happy.
But I started becoming more aware of my looks when I visited Taiwan after living abroad for so long.
Because here’s the thing…
Taiwanese people are blunt. They’re quick to point out if you’ve gained weight, lost weight, got acne, insert any insecurities you have, straight to your face.
So whenever I saw my relatives, they, without fail, commented on my looks.
“Oh, she looks like her dad. Oh, she’s the cute type (There’s a difference between pretty and cute). Oh, she’s kind of chubby and has a round face. Oh, she didn’t get her mom’s double eyelids. Oh, she doesn’t have a high nose bridge.”
Those comments, to this day, still affect me emotionally. To the point where I get scared about the thought of visiting relatives when I’m in Taiwan. Every time I go back, I’m terrified people will say I’m ugly, I’m fat, or I’m not pretty enough.
And unsurprisingly, I’m not the only one who struggles with body dissatisfaction, considering these are the criteria to meet the “ideal” beauty standard in Taiwan.
The “Ideal” Beauty Standards in Taiwan:
You need to have pale skin.
You need to be as thin as possible.
You need to have big eyes with a double eyelid fold.
You need to have a prominent nose with a high bridge.
You need to have a v-shaped face, so slim, with a defined jawline and chin.
How to Love Yourself From the Inside Out:
This is still a work in progress because even to this day, I still dread visiting relatives during holidays or returning to Taiwan after a few months abroad.
But, over the years, I’ve started to learn how to love myself from the inside out. I’ve started to:
Take care of my body. This means, I make sure I stay in shape by lifting weights, going on walks, and stretching, because I noticed I’m more susceptible to people’s comments when I slack in this area or if I’ve gained some weight. It also means I'm more mindful of what I eat. I focus on eating whole foods to fuel my body properly to look and feel better.
Take care of my skin. When I have pimples, or wrinkles, or when my face feels dull, I feel uglier. So, I make sure to take care of my skin by sleeping early. I make sure to drink lots of water. To wear sunscreen every day and a hat. To eat less spicy foods. To rinse my face with water in the evening and wear vaseline at night.
Take care of my soul. I make sure to do things I love. And that includes walking, reading, drinking matcha lattes, playing the piano, singing, spending time with people who energize and uplift me, doing fulfilling work that brings me closer to my goals like writing, and journaling to remind myself that I am worthy of love and belonging.
Learning to love myself will be a lifelong journey, and that’s okay. There will be days when you feel absolutely beautiful and like poop on other days, and that’s okay, too. If you zoom out your perspective, you’ll see that you’re still moving in an upward trend with your healing.
The Main Takeaway Message
Asian cultures need to stop promoting unhealthy beauty standards.
Because when young girls and women fail to meet them, they are left to feel shame. To feel ugly. To feel like they’re not enough. To be unloved. And to feel unworthy.
We should not teach young girls and women to have a waist as thin as an A4 paper. To have a wrist thin enough to be wrapped around by a 100 yuan banknote. To be 29 and still fit in a child’s t-shirt. To starve themselves to reach the “ideal” beauty standard.
Instead, we need to teach them to move their bodies, to eat healthy foods, to drink water, to manage their stress, and to love their bodies. To love themselves by nourishing their minds, bodies, and soul. In this way, this is how they build ultimate self-worth and confidence.
We should not judge or shame their appearance to the point where they feel that they need to lose weight, bleach their skin, or get eye and nose surgery to look beautiful.
Instead, we should celebrate their innate qualities like how kind they are, how empathetic they are, how disciplined they are, or how much integrity they have. These are qualities they have control over and are worth being appreciated for.

My boyfriend and I are planning to visit San Juan, Culebra, and St. Thomas on a four-day-three-night trip.
We're arriving San Juan (SJU) at 12:30 pm, and planning to visit Old San Juan area during the afternoon. At about 6:00 pm, we'll take Air Flamenco to Culebra.
On the second day, we'll go to beach Flamenco. We plan to go to St. Thomas sometime in the afternoon.
We'll stay at St. Thomas for two nights, visit St. John, and go back on the fourth day's afternoon.
There are some questions that I have.
1. How can we get to Old San Juan from SJU. Are the attractions within walk distance? How can we get SIG from Old San Juan?
2. How can we get to St. Thomas from Culebra. Is there a ferry?
3. Is it recommended to rent a car on St. Thomas and St. John to get around?
4. Is there any place that highly recommended for our trip that we missed to consider? We don't want miss anything important, because this is a once-many-year trip.
I know some of the questions are not quite relevant to this website. However, I found people are extremely friendly and helpful here, and I don't know where else I can ask these questions.
We'd really appreciate your help and advices. | <urn:uuid:b4901596-249a-4c62-aed1-68cd7db0adfc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.islaculebra.com/forvm/read.php?f=1&i=3541&t=3540 | 2023-10-04T19:44:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.947573 | 342 |
With great stories and larger-than-life characters at the heart of many of favorite childhood memories, the grand opening of Kiddie Academy’s brand new Bellevue location promises to be very exciting indeed!
To celebrate the location’s grand opening Saturday, July 13, franchisee Devinder Singh invites children and their parents to Storytime LIVE!, a free community reading event where beloved characters Curious George and Pinkalicious jump off the page and visit the classroom in person.
Beginning at 10 a.m. at Kiddie Academy of Bellevue, the event is part of the ninth annual Storytime LIVE! coming to Kiddie Academy locations across the US.
The state-of-the-art Bellevue academy, joining others in Kenmore, Kirkland, Bothell, Mill Creek and Seattle, will welcome 190 students from infant to age 5, in age-appropriate groups – infants, young toddlers, preschoolers and pre-kindergarten.
Taking a holistic, whole-child approach, the Kiddie Academy program strikes a balance between structured programming and fun, understanding that learning happens throughout the day, from free time on the center’s three playgrounds to circle time in the classroom, Devinder says.
Reserve your Storytime LIVE! spot today!
Combining learning and fun – both key ingredients to Kiddie Academy’s Life Essentials curriculum – the free Storytime LIVE! event invites families to a story reading and classroom visit with Curious George and Pinkalicious, promising a truly memorable experience. Don’t forget your camera!
All are welcome – current students, new friends interested in learning more about Kiddie Academy of Bellevue, and anyone looking to share a special experience with their child. Light refreshments and fun educational activities will also be available.
“We know that reading together is an essential part of preparing children for school and life – not only does it delight their imaginations, it introduces new ideas and experiences,” Devinder says. “We’re so excited to share this event with local families. Storytime LIVE! encourages families to spend quality time together and lays the groundwork for children’s lifelong passion for books.”
Research shows that reading aloud to young children provides numerous benefits, from boosting vocabulary and stimulating speech, to lessening behavioral issues. Plus, students who are exposed to reading before preschool are more likely to do well in all facets of formal education; it also builds motivation, curiosity and memory, and helps children cope with stress.

I have had so many people ask questions over the last year about one special animal that has captured the hearts of many. And I don't mean that in the way that the Olsen twins captured our hearts in the '90s (gag). I mean it in the way that, like, Satan captures hearts.
The Queen of Colors.
I mentioned her for the first time a year ago in a post about a text exchange over Snuggies. I never thought anyone would read that post or really think it was all that funny. And I especially never thought anyone would pay any attention to my passing reference to the Queen of Colors in one of the text messages I sent to Jane.
But in the days that immediately followed, it became apparent that that was the thing that a lot of people seemed to pay the absolute most attention to.
Since then, many of you have sent me pictures of Queen of Colors look-a-likes and paraphernalia. I have received tons of emails referencing the Q of C and asking questions about her. For some of us in our little Stranger community, the Queen of Colors has become a household name. Something that represents evil hilarity.
But many of you have wondered where on Earth she came from. And I suppose it's because you aren't satisfied with the answer I have given time and time again: straight from Hell. Many of you have also wondered about the infamous "hair" story.
I'm here to answer your questions for you today, and tell you, once and for all, that the Queen of Colors is real and the story is absolutely, positively, true. Well, mostly.
So sit back and enjoy, finally, the story of the Queen of Colors.
When I was a small wretched child, Bob and Cathie had a chicken coop. The biggest way in which this affected me was through the constant looming threat that I was going to have to sleep in the chicken coop if I didn't behave. This was possibly the most terrifying fate I could imagine at age 6, which made it pretty effective at getting me to do absolutely whatever Bob and Cathie wanted me to do.
Bob and Cathie: 1. Six-year-old Eli: 0.
I never really knew what sleeping in the chicken coop would be like. I just knew that Bob and Cathie threatened it in a tone that made it sound like something no person would ever want to experience. Fortunately, the chicken-coop-sleeping-punishment was only ever threatened, and not enforced.
Your bark is louder than your bite, Bob and Cathie. And I'm on to you.
The fact that Bob and Cathie had chickens was a very strange thing. Bob and Cathie have never been animal people. I can count the number of "pets" we had during my childhood on two fingers. One, a horrifically mean bird named "Feathers" who one day without any notice went away to live on a farm where he would be happier. And two, a dog named Winnie who bit me every single day of her spoiled, untrained existence.I asked Cathie one day why we had chickens in the first place. I did not grow up on a farm. Nor did we live in an area where there really were farms. Cathie told me that we had those chickens for two reasons: 1) to teach responsibility, and 2) because of something about the Mormon pioneers and how we should be able to take care of ourselves.Far and away, the scariest thing about the chicken coop was that it was where the Queen of Colors resided. She lived there and was absolutely the most unpredictable, mean, atrocious, evil creature that ever roamed the planet. My sisters and I used to stare out of the back windows, making sure she hadn’t gotten out of her cell, before daring to venture into the yard.My older sisters named her the Queen of Colors because, well, she was a colorful chicken. The Q of C was smaller than the others but absolutely had a vendetta against all other life. My sisters were responsible for gathering the eggs from the chickens and they both swear that every time they approached the Q of C, she would scratch, squawk, and nip at them, on occasion, drawing blood.
BLOOD, you guys. She drew BLOOD.
She was just exactly like Satan. She acted calm and gentle and inviting until you got within a few feet of her. Then without warning she would spread her wings and sprint-fly at your shins. And then eat your soul.
Some of the earliest memories of my life involve the Queen of Colors chasing me around the yard, both of us screaming for entirely different reasons. Bob and Cathie would stand idly by, unwilling to interrupt the fray. I assumed this was because they didn't want to make enemies with the Q of C.
Little did they know, the Q of C considered everyone an enemy. All of our fears culminated one day when the Queen of Colors launched her greatest attack. My oldest sister, Krishelle, had a friend named Kelly who had come over to play. Kelly accompanied Krishelle in her walk out to the chicken coop to gather the day's eggs.Krishelle's memory, 20-something years later, is still in slow-motion.If anyone was afraid of the Queen of Colors more than anyone else, it was Krishelle. She bore the bulk of the chicken-egg-gathering responsibilities, presumably because Bob and Cathie were too afraid to handle the job themselves. Krishelle often approached the chicken coop brandishing make-shift weapons in the event that she would be required to go head-to-head with evil.
Occasionally she held a Bible and a cross, too.
On that fateful day, Krishelle opened the door to the chicken coop while Kelly stood a few feet behind her. Her weapon of choice: a shovel.
After 20 plus years of dissecting the incident, my family has all reached a common consensus that the Queen of Colors's next move was clearly premeditated.
She was not startled.
For one could not startle the Queen of Colors.
She was not acting in defense.
For the Queen of Colors would never allow herself to be put on the defensive.
She acted out of pure, planned, poisonous, hate.Without any hesitation, the Q of C sprang from the ground, five feet into the air, and flew directly at Krishelle's head.
We knew that the Queen of Colors had an uncharacteristically creepy ability to fly. But we had only ever seen her catch a few feet of air, and only for a second or two. But on this day, the Q of C flew.In a split second of panic, Krishelle forgot her weapon and ducked just in time. The Q of C flew past Krishelle and instead landed directly on top of Kelly's head.Kelly had a perm. And when I say that she had a perm, I mean she had a perm. This was the 80s and if you didn’t have a perm in Utah in the 80s, there was totally no way you were ever going to get a guy with a mullet to look at you. I had ingrained in me that the giant permed hair was attractive from a very young age. For this reason, I automatically had a crush on all the high school girls who helped out in my pre-school class and who had perms. They never gave me the time of day though. Whatever. Joke’s on them. When I'm 70 and they're all 82, they'll be wishing they had a younger man in their lives.
The Queen of Colors was now on top of Kelly's head, holding on. Tight. The high-pitched screams of the terrified 11-year-old girl competed with the screeching “BOCK BOCK” coming from a very distressed and pissed Queen of Colors. And that's when they got tangled.
All stared on in fear. The Queen of Colors dropped and now hung completely upside-down with one shank buried deep in the permed hair. Then, Kelly spun in circles with her head tilted downward, twisting herself more and more deeply into the chicken's grasps. They were like some combination of twine and welded metal. Only scarier.
The scene looked like the shot-put. Only with a lot more screaming. And without the release.
How, exactly, the Queen of Colors was freed from Kelly's perm has always been a fuzzy (pun intended) part of the story to me. I always imagined Bob running toward her with some tool to cut her free. But Kelly may have just continued to spin in screaming circles until the Queen of Colors was finally ejected to the ground.
Had Bob run to the rescue and attempted to hold onto the Queen of Colors so he could control the quick movements that made it pretty impossible to identify the root of the entanglement, this would have been a difficult task. And because she had no allies, the Queen of Colors would have pecked and pecked and pecked at Bob, with hate in her eyes.In any event, all present remember that the Queen of Colors fell to the ground and then calmly strutted back into the chicken coop, while Kelly, on her back, cried.
That's right. She strutted back into the chicken coop.
The Queen of Colors was not trying to escape. She wasn't trying to have a different life. She didn't attack so that she could be freed, or get more food, or change her circumstances in any way.
The Queen of Colors wanted to cause pain. Plain and simple.
It wasn't long after that that we came home from school one day and discovered that the chicken coop was gone. Bob and Cathie made an executive decision, and just like that, the chickens were taken away.
It has been said that there is a black spot on the ground directly below where the Queen of Colors's bed sat.
Also, nothing has been able to grow there ever since.
Not even dreams.
Especially not dreams.

Will the data being looked at by the government on Omicron make it likely that they choose post-Christmas restrictions? Sources I speak to suggest that they will.
It’s not because they think there’s no chance that Omicron results in milder disease - as suggested in today’s Politico Playbook email - that is something that early studies point to for many people.
But the question around restrictions is based on one thing alone and it’s not general illness or, as one minister put it frankly, the death rate.
It’s all about hospitalisations and pressure on the NHS.
In the UK, Department for Health sources tell me that because London is the “epicentre” of our Omicron pandemic it is where they are focused. The problem is the lag in the data - those in hospital today fell ill two weeks ago or more.
Listen to our coronavirus podcast
That’s why Chris Whitty and Sir Patrick Vallance told MPs yesterday that it could be some time before we have a full picture. But scientists say waiting for a full picture will mean it’s too late to act - so what is the initial data suggesting?
So in London hospitalisation data is a little bit of good news because hospitalisations aren’t rising at the same pace as cases, which could indicate milder disease but also that the boosters are working.
Data from South Africa this week also suggests people are less likely to be hospitalised by Omicron.
However, because Omicron is spreading so fast it is still resulting in worrying numbers in London hospitals - even now, before those falling ill this week and last will be admitted.
And once in hospital there are some suggestions that people can be just as ill as those with Delta. So the next question, which is hard to answer at this stage, is how long people stay in hospital on average - as that will affect NHS capacity.
All in all, the government is facing a nightmare decision. As one member of the SAGE committee said to me, act too soon and you really hurt the economy with all the fallout from that, but if you wait too long then it is much harder to contain.
Peter Openshaw, who is on the NERVTAG committee that feeds into SAGE, told me that it’s very hard to bring down Omicron from a high level, but quite easy to stop it rising.
'I think it is quite likely that we will need additional restrictions', says Peter Openshaw
And that is why, overall, Cabinet ministers I speak to expect that while it isn’t certain it is highly likely that a decision will be taken for more action after Christmas, however reluctant most ministers are to go there. | <urn:uuid:7197b379-a9d6-4d89-9799-326f660eb46b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.itv.com/news/2021-12-22/why-england-faces-post-christmas-restrictions-even-if-omicron-is-milder | 2023-10-04T21:12:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.97139 | 578 |

SpaceChem is a game you'll spend a few minutes learning but weeks trying to master, and its 50+ levels are more than enough to strain your poor brain matter more than it's been strained in quite some time.
If you've ever played a game from Zachtronics Industries, you know it isn't really possible to read a paragraph introduction and learn everything about the game. SpaceChem is much easier to pick up than previous releases, though, which is encouraging for casual players. Here's a quick introduction to the mechanics, just so you know what to expect. Much like The Codex of Alchemical Engineering, SpaceChem is all about assembling molecules from simple atoms using a series of programmable commands. You work from a grid and two colored WALDOS that function as conveyor belts. By laying commands on to these belts, you can move elements around the grid, outfitting them as instructed by the level goals, and depositing them in the correct positions.
Now, it would be relatively simple to create a machine that does this once or twice. But in a true "games for engineers" fashion, you must build a mechanism that can accomplish this ten times. A repeatable, looping set of programs that builds a perfect molecule and drops it off in the correct grid space. Atoms can be bonded multiple times (depending on their limitations), each bond accomplished by setting atoms on paired reactors and initiating a "bond" command. The red and blue paths can also overlap as well as activate things for each other. Now you're beginning to see the challenge, right? And fortunately for us, this description only scratches the surface.
There's even a story to go along with your molecule building, and it explains why you're doing what you're doing and adds a nice narrative to the whole experience. And don't worry, an in-game tutorial walks you through new gameplay elements when they arise. In later levels, you'll be working with multiple reactors, each doing its own assembly task and sending its product on to the next reactor for further transformation. The big picture is often mind boggling, but the sense of accomplishment you feel once you pull it off is enormous!
Analysis: SpaceChem is a big step-up from previous releases, adding a lot of shortcut features that make playing the game easier, more entertaining, and more social. Keyboard shortcuts allow you to place commands on the WALDOS with minimal effort, and after completing a level, you're shown stats that are compared with other SpaceChem players. You can even upload your solutions to YouTube!
Zachtronics' games aren't for everyone. These hyper-challenging logic puzzles require a certain mental disposition to grasp, let alone solve or complete in their entirety. Couple with that the lack of any sort of hint feature and you've got a real challenge on your hands. It's the kind of challenge that's fun to figure out, though. SpaceChem requires thinking. Real, honest problem solving, not memorizing a pattern and repeating it over and over again to the end of the game. You must analyze a situation, determine the best route, work on your design, tinker with it, refine it, and finally solve it. The effort you put into each level pays off in that feeling of nigh-euphoria when you solve a puzzle on your own.
SpaceChem is a brilliant game. It's a polished and playable release that's thoroughly challenging, easy to get into, but terribly difficult to master. But when you see that machine you've worked so hard on complete a task, it's a thing of true beauty. | <urn:uuid:a0bdaafe-e498-4743-9cb7-58b2c245a96b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jayisgames.com/review/spacechem.php | 2023-10-04T19:58:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.960879 | 819 |

The History of Domestic Partnerships in New Jersey
In 2004, the Domestic Partnership Act allowed couples to register a domestic partnership in New Jersey. The Act applied to opposite-sex couples 62 years old and older and same-sex couples 18 years old and older. However, the law was amended in 2007 by the Civil Union Act.
Under the Civil Union Act, opposite-sex and same-sex couples must be 62 years old or older to register a domestic partnership. They must also meet the statutory requirements in N.J.S.A. §26:8A-4. The state continues to recognize domestic partnerships registered before February 19, 2007.
What Are the Requirements for Registering a Domestic Partnership in New Jersey?
Domestic partners have some of the same rights as married couples. The law affords them certain benefits and rights related to child visitation, health care decisions, debts, taxes, discrimination, and more.
However, a couple must meet the statutory requirements to register as a domestic partnership. Those requirements include the following:
- Both parties are at least 62 years old or older
- The parties share a common residence and are jointly responsible for their partner’s welfare, as evidenced by joint financial arrangements
- The partners agree to be responsible for the other person’s basic living expenses during the partnership
- Neither person is a party to a civil union or marriage
- The parties are not related by affinity or blood up to the fourth degree of consanguinity
- The couple desires to be in a committed relationship with each other
If the couple meets the requirements for a domestic partnership, they can register their partnership by filing an Affidavit of Domestic Partnership with a Local Registrar of Vital Statistics. The office must issue a Certificate of Domestic Partnership for the state to recognize the domestic partnership.
How Do You Terminate a Domestic Partnership in New Jersey?
You can terminate a domestic partnership on many of the same grounds you would use for a divorce action. You must file a request for termination with the New Jersey Superior Court. The parties must notify any entities of the termination of their domestic partnership that were notified when the domestic partnership was registered.
Before filing the paperwork to end a domestic partnership, you should consult a Monmouth County domestic partnership dissolution lawyer. Because domestic partners are not afforded the same rights as married couples or individuals in a civil union, questions regarding property, debts, and children may arise. A domestic partnership dissolution attorney can help you resolve these problems.
What Is a Civil Union in New Jersey?
Same-sex and LGBTQA couples can enter a civil union in New Jersey as of February 19, 2007. In a civil union, the parties are afforded the same rights, benefits, protections, and responsibilities as spouses in a marriage. Therefore, the dissolution of a civil union follows the same procedure as a divorce, including resolving issues related to child custody, property division, and alimony.

Perks versus culture — is one more important than the other?
Throughout COVID, employers were quick to offer benefits in order to meet a myriad of employee needs. Yet without a strong vision of a company’s culture, those efforts could prove to be useless.
“We can have our employees set up with every perk out there — if you don’t have strong culture or empathetic leadership, is it really going to make a difference?” said Debi Yadegari, CEO of Villyge, a platform that helps managers to lead with empathy. “They’re still going to look for other opportunities. Culture is the foundation of everything.”
Yadegari joined other HR and adviser leaders at this week’s Workplace Strategies Agenda in Austin, Texas, to dig into how employers can offer perks that support a caring culture for employees. The first step for employers is to simply start listening, said Lori Lantz, SVP and chief people officer at CableLabs, a research and development firm.
“If you’re not really listening to your employee population, you could be picking the wrong benefits and it could be incongruent with your culture,” Lantz said. “If you’re engaging leadership in being mindful and showing compassion, and your perks are part of that whole experience, the perks and culture really support each other.”
The panelists discussed how COVID has fundamentally changed the work experience — both employees and their managers were “allowed to be human,” said Allison Cohen De Paoli, founder of Altiqe, a benefits consulting firm. As such, leaders need to reflect on why they may be offering a benefit or perk, and explore how that aligns with the larger purpose of the organization.
“You have to understand why you’re throwing the thing at them,” Cohen De Paoli said.
And with many employees still remote, creating a culture that supports them has never been more important, said Ed Ligonde, EVP of Nielsen Benefits Group.
“People aren’t in the office everyday and they’re working remotely so culture is 10 times more important,” he said. “As human beings, we’re emotionally driven — how do you bring everyone together, but separately?”
Whether it’s by promoting mental health benefits, offering unlimited PTO policies, or even providing trendier perks like pet insurance, connecting the dots on how the benefit will support employees and telling them why you’re offering it will increase retention, engagement and productivity.
“Culture is a felt experience — it’s the way we do things around here,” Lantz said. “When the way we treat each other and the benefits we offer are aligned, it brings longevity and people wanting to advance their career — all of those things come together.”
While it’s important to ensure culture and perks are in sync for existing employees, it’s even more critical when recruiting and retaining new talent. Data from The Muse found that 80% of millennial and Gen Z employees would leave their job in the first six months if their organization isn’t aligned with their values.
“It’s a huge problem if you’re not giving the right impression of who you are,” Cohen De Paoli said. “It’s a recruiting problem and not necessarily a retention problem.”
To solve for that, it’ll take consistent work and curiosity from upper-level management, Yadegari said.
“What’s the employee experience, what’s the employer's intention, and how are we going to close that gap?” she said. “When you do the right things, you build a positive relationship of trust. And then productivity really soars.”

Crises hit leaders all of the time. Though, our latest crisis (nay, pandemic) is the COVID-19/Coronavirus is something completely different than many of us have ever faced.
Non-essential businesses are shutting down. Essential businesses have to expose their team members to the possibility of contact with the virus.
It’s a scary, scary time.
In times like this, it is easy for a leader to focus primarily on their team. They look for ways to help their team members through the crisis. But what about the leader? Doesn’t he need to stay healthy throughout the crisis as well?
Leaders do need to stay healthy. They need to make sure they’re looking after their physical and mental needs. Today, I want to share 6 ways leaders can stay healthy during a crisis.
6 Ways To Stay Healthy During The COVID-19 Crisis
1. Get enough sleep:
Sleep can be elusive during a crisis. Your mind is racing on the best ways to take care of your people… of your family. The thoughts of what could happen run through your mind and prevent you from getting the right amount of sleep.
You can’t allow a crisis to rob you of your sleep. Sleep is a critical part of your mental and physical health. The Sleep Foundation recommends adults between the ages of 26-64 get 7-9 hours of sleep each night.
Sleep helps your body recover and recharge from the strain of navigating a crisis. Don’t ignore your sleep when a crisis hits.
2. Keep digesting good, positive content:
It’s easy to forgo the good, positive content you’ve been consuming when a crisis hits. You don’t need that positivity junk when you’re dealing with a crisis. You need the cold, hard facts.
What if I told you that you’re wrong? You don’t need only the cold, hard facts. You need the cold, hard facts along with a good, healthy dose of positive content.
The positive content you consume will help you keep a positive outlook on the situation. You may find yourself sifting through content that inspires you to lead your organization in a new direction during the crisis. Or the positive content you read may help you keep your head above the water.
Remember, as a Native American proverb says: The dog (positive or negative) you feed is the dog that will win.
This means if you continue to feed the negative thoughts in your mind, the negative thoughts will win. Feed the positive thoughts in your mind, they will win. Make sure you’re feeding the right dog!
3. Meet with your close friends (virtually):
This one has been hard for me. I am an extrovert times 10, according to my wife. She says I need people. I say she’s right.
What do you do during a crisis? One where you’re told to stay home and not have any physical content with your friends, coworkers, and family that lives outside of your house?
I’ve found meeting with my people online has been a great help. Our church has used Zoom Meetings to keep us in touch. We’ve run multiple meetings this way and it has helped us stay connected.
You can also use Zoom Meetings to connect with your close friends. You will be able to see their smiling faces while you’re hearing their voice.
It’s not the same as meeting in person but it does raise the spirits. Find ways to meet with your close friends and encourage one another.
4. Keep exercising:
Another area of your life you may neglect during a crisis is your physical health. Neglecting your health is a big no-no.
If you’re letting your health lag because of a crisis, you’re allowing your ability to lead through the crisis to weaken. A physically healthy leader is a leader who can get through the toughest times.
If your state allows, go outside for a run. Lok and I have continued our regular runs. It helps to clear my mind and to keep my body in shape. Find an activity you can do that will help you stay physically fit.
5. Talk to a counselor:
Leading through a crisis can be mentally draining. You may feel like you’re at your wit’s end. You don’t know what to do next or you feel tired and worn out mentally.
What do you do when you’re mentally drained? You go talk to a counselor.
There are many ways you can talk to a counselor. You can call a local counselor and make an appointment to talk to them over the phone. There are Skype and Zoom sessions you can have with a counselor. You may even be able to share your thoughts and struggles with a counselor via email.
If you’re struggling mentally, be willing to go talk to a counselor. There’s no shame in needing to talk to someone who can walk you through the mental gymnastics of a crisis.
6. Keep a healthy, balanced diet:
Want to know what I did when the stay-at-home order hit Michigan? I began to binge eat. If there was junk food in the house, I went for it. The salty, sugary snacks tasted so good. They feed my bad cravings. Binge eating also made me feel bad.
My runs and times of exercise felt sluggish. I felt horrible afterward. Why? Because I wasn’t fueling my body with the right fuel. I choose tasty and easy over good and healthy.
You need to make sure you’re eating a healthy, balanced diet during crises. A healthy, balanced diet will help your body and mind process the crisis better.
You won’t feel sluggish. You won’t feel like sleeping in until 10 AM. And you won’t have a clouded mind.
Make sure your diet doesn’t become worse during the crisis. | <urn:uuid:2e4c4711-343e-43f1-ae21-533a908f8a6a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jmlalonde.com/6-ways-to-stay-healthy-during-the-covid-19-crisis/ | 2023-10-04T21:02:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.952131 | 1,263 |

Why don't you listen?!
Updated: Oct 20, 2021
Many people wonder why their partner does not listen to them. What most people don’t know is that there is a secret to being heard, especially when the content might be a touchy subject. Most people make the mistake of saying, “you did” rather than, “for me” or, “I feel that”. It is a very simple little shift that makes hard content a little easier to hear. So, let’s give this a try, say your wife leaves her shoes in the middle of the floor. You want her to stop because you are tired of tripping on them. Rather than the typical statement, “you always leave your shoes in the middle of the floor!” Try this, “I would be super happy if you would put your shoes away” with a smile. Or, “I really struggle with not tripping on your shoes, would you mind putting them away?” There are many simple shifts that can make communication much less challenging.

The sun is just beginning to set, casting long shadows on the verdant fairway. You step up, positioning yourself, feeling the familiar weight of the club in your hands. As you pull back for the swing, a thought crosses your mind – would the legends of golf recognize the advanced piece of equipment you’re holding?
The journey of golf equipment, much like those seeking golf lessons in Orlando, is one of constant evolution and pursuit of perfection. It’s not just about the clubs; it’s about the symphony they create with the golfer.
Let’s dive deep into this evolution and see how it’s changing the game.
The Humble Beginnings: Woods and Feathers
Long before the advent of graphite and the gleaming clubs we see today, golfers had a very different playing experience.
The ancient golf grounds echoed with the sound of wood striking wood. The earliest clubs and balls were both made from tough woods, often shaped with rudimentary tools. Without the precision of today’s equipment, these golfers heavily depended on skill and intuition.
Every shot taken was a testament to the golfer’s expertise, making the game more about the player’s talent than the tools at hand.
The featherie ball marked one of the first significant upgrades in golf equipment. Crafted with leather and tightly packed with feathers, these balls promised better flight and control. However, they weren’t without their challenges.
Producing them was labor-intensive, making them a pricey commodity. Additionally, their durability was often in question, especially in wet conditions where they’d absorb moisture and lose their shape.
The Steel Age: Shifting Gears
As the Industrial Revolution steamed ahead, its impacts were felt on the golf courses too.
Advantages of Steel
The introduction of steel shafts was a game-changer. Not only were they more durable than their wooden counterparts, but they also allowed for innovations in club design. With steel’s ability to withstand greater forces, golfers could now attempt a wider range of shots.
The consistency and control offered by these shafts meant that players, including those opting for golf lessons in Orlando, could focus on refining their swings without worrying about equipment limitations.
Progress in ball design paralleled advancements in club technology. The Haskell ball, boasting a rubber core, redefined the game’s dynamics. Its resilience, combined with the newer steel clubs, allowed golfers to achieve distances and precision previously thought unattainable.
The Modern Magic: Composite Materials and Advanced Designs
Modern golf is a blend of tradition and cutting-edge innovation.
Graphite and Titanium
These materials ushered in an era of lightweight yet robust clubs. The benefits were instantly recognizable: golfers could now achieve faster swings without sacrificing accuracy. Clubs tailored for various shots – from drives to putts – became widely accessible.
Golf clubs of today are marvels of engineering. Integrated with adjustable weights, they can be tuned to a player’s unique swing. Enhanced sweet spots reduce the impact of off-center hits. These clubs cater to the individual needs of players, a testament to how far golf equipment has come in personalizing the experience.
The Future: Smart Equipment and Personalization
The horizon of golf equipment innovation seems limitless.
The clubs of the future are set to be interconnected. Picture a club with sensors that relay real-time data on your swing, angle, and force, providing immediate feedback. This could be a transformative tool for those seeking golf lessons in Orlando, turning every practice session into a tailored lesson.
Beyond just the flight and spin, future golf balls might offer real-time data analytics. Whether it’s their speed, trajectory, or even deviations caused by wind, these balls will keep players and spectators informed, heightening the game’s engagement level.
The Game Beyond the Equipment: Skills and Training
In the heart of it all, golf remains a game of skill, honed over time.
Training with Technology
Virtual reality, swing analyzers, and biomechanical assessments are making their mark in modern golf training. These tools provide insights that were previously based on mere observation, turning every training session into a precise, data-driven exercise.
The Role of Coaches
Amidst this whirlwind of technological advancement, the importance of a seasoned coach remains undiminished. They bring a human touch, interpreting the data, understanding the player’s psyche, and transforming raw talent into refined skill. Their wisdom, coupled with state-of-the-art equipment, promises a golden era for golf enthusiasts everywhere.
In this riveting journey of golf equipment evolution, players now stand at a juncture where the past’s traditions and the future’s promises intersect. The game’s essence remains unchanged, but its tools have transformed, offering unprecedented advantages.
Those seeking to truly harness the power of these advancements, be it a budding golfer or a pro, should consider marrying their passion with proper guidance.

Seems like the term “mindfulness” is all over social media and health posts these days. Schools are teaching it and therapists love it - so what’s all the buzz about? Is this really something that teens can or should be doing to improve their mental health?
In this article we’ll unpack what mindfulness is (and what is isn’t). We’ll learn a little about some of the proven benefits of mindfulness based on scientific research. And we’ll learn how to become more mindful with simple activities you can practice easily every day.
At heart, mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment without judgment. It is the ability to simply be, right now - not lost in ruminations about the past, not worrying or stressing about the future. And while that sounds straightforward, it is also harder than it seems. To be present fully, right now, means we also can’t be zoning off or mindlessly scrolling social media or watching a show. Mindfulness is not simply the absence of thinking about the past or the future, it is also the presence of being fully in the right now.
Paying attention to the present moment is the first part of mindfulness.
The second part of mindfulness is to do that without judgment. What does that mean? It means that one of the reasons it can be hard for us to just focus on the right now is that when we do so, we find that our mind starts spamming us with all sorts of critical, wandering, or otherwise unhelpful thoughts. Common judgmental thoughts we have are:
So while it sounds really simple - mindfulness is the practice of simply being in the present moment, with full attention to what you’re doing right now, without judgment - it can actually be very hard for most of us to do, especially busy teenagers.
But there are very good reasons to start practicing mindfulness!
Sometimes the mental health trends are just that - trends with no actual data or science to back them up. But mindfulness is the real deal. There have now been hundreds of studies showing that mindfulness has positive mental health effects. Mindfulness can help you:
Not bad, right? Mindfulness can not only improve your mood - make you feel less stressed, anxious, or depressed - but it can also improve your ability to function in your day-to-day life. Mindfulness can improve focus, attention, and self-regulation, which can have positive impacts for teens on homework completion, grades, and performance in areas such as sports, music, or other extracurriculars.
At the end of the day, our brain has to work within what is called our “cognitive capacity.” Our cognitive capacity is the overall amount of information and processing that our brain can handle at any given time. Our cognitive capacity is limited, meaning we cannot simultaneously pay attention to every single thing. When our attention is on one thing (like social media on our phone) it reduces our ability to attend to another thing (like homework).
The human brain is pretty good at multi-tasking, and we can attend to multiple things at once to some extent. But we’ll always perform best when we can direct all our attention to the immediate task at hand - whether that task is schoolwork, the game we’re playing, or even relaxing.
Mindfulness helps our brains learn to focus attention at what we choose to focus on. We learn to be less distracted by information that isn’t relevant to right now, especially our internal information - such as our thoughts. When our brain is ruminating over the past or worrying about the future, it has less cognitive capacity to focus on right now. Mindfulness helps us let go of those other thoughts and direct our attention to what is happening right in front of us.
Mindfulness, like any skill, can be learned through regular practice. This practice can be self-guided. Mindfulness is also a component of many evidence-based therapies and it can even be learned through virtual therapy over video. Below are some tips for how to get started learning mindfulness.
The great thing about mindfulness is that it is really simple at heart - it is simply learning to pay attention to the here and now. It doesn’t take much time or special materials. Some easy self-guided mindfulness activities are:
Take a walk around your neighborhood. Use your senses to notice what is going on around you, even saying them to yourself quietly or in your head. For example, you might walk and say: “I notice the big tree to my left. I notice the wind blowing on my face. I notice the red car driving by.”
Practicing deep breathing is a great way to focus on one thing - your breath. Find a quiet place to sit or lay down. Breathe in for a count of 5, hold for a count of 5, exhale for a count of 5, and hold the exhale for a count of 5. Do this 10 times.
Use your senses to stay grounded in the present moment. Try identifying:
Get a piece of candy or chocolate (Jolly Ranchers or Hershey’s kisses work well here). Very slowly unwrap it. Smell it. Turn it around in your fingers. Then put it on your tongue and let it melt slowly. Notice how it tastes and feels in your mouth. Make it last as long as possible!
Any focused art or reflection activity works well for developing mindfulness. Consider a coloring book, journal, knitting, or anything creative that focuses your attention on that task.
Mindfulness is also a component of many evidence-based therapies, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). All of these are therapies commonly used with teens to treat stress, anxiety, depression, and academic motivation or performance.
Your therapist may encourage you to learn and practice mindfulness as part of your therapy. In addition to the mindfulness activities listed above, therapists might guide you in activities such as body scanning, progressive muscle relaxation, guided visualization, or paced breathing - all activities that help you learn mindfulness. Try a few of these guided meditation practices.
Looking to start therapy? Online therapy can be an easy way to get started.
You’re probably not doing anything wrong! Mindfulness is a skill that takes time to develop and get good at. Most people find that when they start trying to be “mindful” they find their mind wandering to all the things that aren’t the mindful activity! Then their brains start to doubt the whole thing.
At first, your brain will likely wander often. You can redirect it by noticing the intrusive thought but trying not to dwell on it, by saying things to yourself like “I notice my mind wandering but I’m going to focus on my breath.” When you start practicing mindfulness you probably have to redirect your attention A LOT! That’s OK. Just keep at it and it does get easier.
The other way to improve your ability to be mindful is to start small and build up, just like you would train for anything. If you have never run more than a few laps, you couldn’t run a marathon tomorrow - you’d slowly build up, running just a few laps at first, then maybe a mile, then maybe a few miles. It would likely take you months to get to 26 miles!!! Mindfulness is just the same. Start small - maybe only 2-3 minutes. Move up to 5 minutes. Then 10 minutes.
Set aside a few minutes once a day at first. Often the best times are first thing in the morning or just before bed - but you should pick a time that works for you to find 5 quiet minutes to focus. Set a reminder on your phone, and have a place and activity picked out. If we say “I’m going to start mindfulness this week” - that’s not a very specific plan. But if we say “Every night before I go to bed I’m going to do 3 minutes of deep breathing” - that’s a pretty specific plan that makes it easier to stick to.
In the case of mindfulness, all the hype is real! Mindfulness really can help improve your mental health and performance. And it is really easy to learn. Good luck getting started on your mindfulness practice! | <urn:uuid:c19054b4-2830-4722-b19d-df3d01352b95> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.joon.com/blog/mindfulness-for-teens | 2023-10-04T20:32:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.949423 | 1,750 |

It can be so simple to feel alone in how you feel, however you may be shocked to hear that many celebs (and even simply individuals in your community) are experiencing similar sensations and struggles.
Quotes About What Mental Illness Feels Like
Though checking out somewhat sad quotes about anxiety or mental disorder when experiencing a low might feel counterproductive, it can be remarkably validating when others can put words to your sensations.
The following quotes focus on what anxiety and basic psychological struggles feel like on a personal level. Betterhelp Therapy Pay.
” Mental pain is less remarkable than physical pain, but it is more common and also more tough to bear. The regular attempt to hide mental pain increases the concern: It is much easier to state ‘My tooth is hurting’ than to say ‘My heart is broken.'” -C.S. Lewis
” Every act of life, from the morning toothbrush to the good friends at dinner, became an effort. I hated the night when I could not sleep, and I hated the day since it approached night.” -F. Scott Fitzgerald
” People who have never ever handled depression think it’s just being sad or remaining in a tiff. That’s not what depression is for me; it’s falling into a state of grayness and numbness.” -Dan Reynolds
” It was against my principles and all, but I was feeling so depressed I didn’t even think. That’s the entire problem. When you’re feeling extremely depressed, you can’t even believe.” -JD. Salinger
” I sob a lot. My feelings are extremely close to my surface.
” Well, you understand, there’s anxiety and depression. What I indicate by anxiety in my own case is that anxiety isn’t just the blues. It’s not truly anxiety; it’s a kind of mental violence which stops you from operating properly from one minute to the next.
Treatment has become such a big and important part of society. Where did it all start? Well, individuals have actually been assisting each other through words for countless years. The very first treatment took place over 3,500 years ago when recovery “magic” and stories were a way for people to come together and connect and share problems, happiness, and love with others. | <urn:uuid:a430cf57-2c1c-437a-aa68-4ffc636805ca> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jordanrestaurantgroup.com/betterhelp-therapy-pay/ | 2023-10-04T20:18:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.943995 | 1,008 |

“Eating is an agricultural act.”
Kim Henken has fond memories of her formative years, spent on her family farm in rural Metcalfe County, Kentucky where she was born and raised.
“I grew strawberries, that’s how I paid for my first car,” Henken said.
Her mother worked as a legal secretary and her father, like many of his generation, was a farmer.
Although Henken’s parents are now gone, she still has the family farm in Metcalfe County and returns there when she can, to maintain the property and get back to her roots.
Henken is employed by UK as the Acting Director of the School of Human Environmental Sciences and Senior Program Manager for Family and Consumer Sciences Extension. She serves as the state advisor for the Kentucky Extension Homemakers Association.
After high school, she thought that law school was the place for her, but soon changed her mind.
“I left with one viewpoint, and I came back with another,” she said. After earning two degrees in agricultural economics, she started working for UK full-time in 1995.
The combination of her raising and career have given her a unique vantage point when it comes to looking at the ways families have changed their living habits.
“Fewer children are growing up on farms today,” Henken said. With farming no more commonly a part-time occupation, and both spouses working outside of the home, Henken says it’s more difficult to strike a balance.
As a result, foods once raised and preserved at home are now being bought at the grocery store, greatly changing the food choices that families make on a daily basis.
According to a 2017 study conducted by The Simple Dollar the average American eats an average of 4.2 commercially prepared meals per week. In other words, as a nation, we eat out between four and five times a week. This number equates to 18.2 meals in an average month eaten outside the home.
Within the home, less of what is eaten are fresh foods, known in the dietary/ nutrition community as “real food”.
Instead, the pace of life dictates that most families opt for convenience foods that are prepackaged and pre-prepared, making the biggest portion of what we now eat far removed from the simple, wholesome foods from the farm.
Lisa Boswell (Director of Bowling Park) has an up close and personal vantage point when it comes to what these societal changes have brought about at their extremities.
Bowling Park in Edmonton hosts the only homeless shelter of its kind in the region and temporarily takes in people from near and far.
“It’s a hand up, not a handout,” Boswell said. Boswell makes certain that the men and women who reside at the shelter for 30-day stints secure jobs, and take other steps to rehabilitate their lives and becomes active members of society again.
Although a diversified cross-section of individuals from all walks of life wind up at the shelter, Boswell sees at least one unanimous thread.
“When you talk to them and learn about them, the common thread is that growing up they didn’t have structure or accountability, especially if they are between the ages of eighteen and thirty,” she said.
Almost always, basic living skills including food preparation, food safety, money management, and healthy living have fallen entirely by the wayside.
To help rectify this Heather Shaw (Metcalfe County Cooperative Extension Service Senior SNAP-Ed Assistant) comes to the shelter once a week to train residents on basic and necessary skills.
“It truly is amazing how people no longer have these basic skills,” Shaw said. “If you put a whole chicken in front of them, they have no idea how to prepare it. If you give him a sack of potatoes, they don’t know what it takes to safely turn them into mashed potatoes because they are living entirely on prepackaged convenience foods, mostly from retail stores or drive-thru food. They have no fresh fruits and vegetables in their diet at all.”
Shaw says that because most of the foods they are regularly consuming are non-perishable and preservative-laden food safety measures, and basic preparatory skills like cutting, slicing, peeling, using a stove and putting to food away in the refrigerator also have to be taught.
“It’s also very difficult to get people who have reached this extreme to understand why it’s important to be able to use a sack of potatoes instead of a powdered mix. They don’t seem to understand that the sack of potatoes costs way less per serving and is better for you.”
Although this true across the board with residents, Boswell says the younger individual the worse the problem.
“The younger they are the less they know about these basic skills that used to be taught at home and at school,” Boswell said.
In Henken’s youth, preparing meals at home and teaching younger generations to do the same was commonplace.
“It didn’t matter how hard we were working, or what needed to be done when we hired people to help with tobacco every year we always stopped for lunch and my mother prepared a big lunch for everyone,” she said.
Unfortunately, that dedication and lifestyle are mostly memories of yesteryear, and whether it is at it’s extreme or chalked up to the byproduct of a changing world, it is unquestionable that these changes in America are taking their toll.
According to the Works Population Review, America is the 12th most obese country in the world, and Kentucky is the 6th most obese state in the nation (State of Obesity Report, 2018). With the growing negative diet-related disease is also on the rise, including diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and the like.
That is not to say the situation is hopeless.
Thanks to the SNAP program offered by UK extension, young people across south-central Kentucky are learning about nutrition and food preparation early in life through various community partnerships. Also, though lifestyles have changed drastically over the past five decades in Kentucky, there is a revival of old traditions such as gardening, canning, and home food preservation underway.
“Everything old is new again,” said Henken. “It seems like everything comes back around and people are interested in the garden and home again, canning and sewing. It may be a trend or they may be longing for simpler times.” | <urn:uuid:1b2774d0-409e-43f7-9402-c2d5bbbd0664> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.jpinews.com/2019/06/18/rural-matters-part-4-the-way-we-eat/ | 2023-10-04T21:03:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.970143 | 1,402 |
Settlers build small white shack to protest 10-month moratorium on new Jewish building in West Bank settlement.
By TOVAH LAZAROFF
Under a cloudy sky on the side of a hilltop in Samaria, settlers late Tuesday afternoon built a small white shack in Elon Moreh to protest the 10-month moratorium on new Jewish building in the West Bank settlement."We do not think the freeze is temporary," said David Ben Zion, who heads the campaign against the moratorium."We understand that Bibi [Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu] has new friends," said Ben Zion, who is of the belief that the moratorium is just the initial step toward the eventual evacuation of West Bank settlements.To protest the moratorium, he is among a group of settlers who have sworn to illegally construct buildings in West Bank.After the moratorium was announced at the end of November, settlers in Elon Moreh built a small club house for children that was dismantled at 3 a.m. on Friday.On the same spot, on Tuesday afternoon settlers constructed a small room made out of pre-fabricated siding, which is intended to house students who study at yeshiva. Settlers stood on ladders and hammered the siding into place, while children and families braved the cold and watched from the sidelines.The shack was constructed just one day after Netanyahu planted a tree in the Kfar Etzion settlement of Gush Etzion and announced that after the moratorium homes would be built in Gush Etzion, Ma'aleh Adumim and Ariel.But Ben Zion said he was not impressed by Netanyahu's vows. Former prime minister Ariel Sharon also planted trees in the settlements and then evacuated Jews from their homes in Gaza, said Ben-Zion.The Samaria Citizen's Committee, which organized the event, as well as their counterpart in Binyamin have vowed to build more such structures in other West Bank settlements.On Tuesday Israeli media reported that a settler had developed a new kind of low cost "tent" which could be put up instantly for new housing, but that had a floor, heat and windows.It's designer, however, told The Jerusalem Post that the new kind of housing unit meant to assist settlers resist security force demolitions, had yet to be fully tested.Earlier in the day, security forces destroyed a synagogue in the small outpost Givat Menachem in the Nachliel settlement in the Binyamin region.In the aftermath of the demolition violence broke out between settlers and Palestinians in the area, in which three settlers and Palestinians were lightly wounded. One settler was taken to Tel HaShomer hospital for treatment, according to security sources.The Civil Administration also handed out demolition orders at the Hill 18 outpost near Kiryat Arba.

KANALCOIN NEWS – Jim Roger, a well-known investor and founder of Quantum Fund and Soros Fund Management, gave a stern warning regarding the global investment market bear market.
Reporting from Bitcoin News, Jim Roger highlighted the worrying surge in global debt over the last 14 years as a key factor in the crisis that must be anticipated. This was revealed in an interview with Real Vision.
A bear market is a market condition that experiences price declines that occur over a long period of time. This happened amid negative investor sentiment.
Bear markets are the opposite of bull markets. A bull market is a long period of price increase due to higher demand than supply.
In 2008, the bear market that occurred in America was caused by debt that was too high. And since 2009, the global debt is unprecedented.
“We should always be worried about Washington. They have no clue what they are doing. And they are proving it day after day,” explained Jim Roger in the interview.
Bear markets are not only caused by increased debt. But also the trend of global de-dollarization. Where many people are looking for alternative currencies other than dollars. It is this concern over the huge debt burden borne by the US that drives this de-dollarization movement.
The use of the US dollar as a weapon by America, such as the imposition of an embargo on Russia and its allies, actually provides a sufficient reason for other countries to reduce their dependence on the US currency. This is a compelling reason to accelerate the de-dollarization movement.
Even the de-dollarization movement has made the United States’ allies also worry that they will be affected too. For that, these countries are also moving. So that the movement to find an alternative to the USD is getting faster.
What’s more, the trend of using cryptocurrencies for global transactions, which will soon be spearheaded by Russia, is getting more intense. If successfully implemented, it is not impossible that crypto will shift the role of the USD as a medium of international trade exchange.
“You should be very worried. If you don’t, you don’t know what’s going on,” added Jim warned.
Jim also said that the existence of the dollar as a global currency would end. Investors in developed and developing countries have been looking for alternative currencies other than the dollar. And that means, something bad with the currency is going to happen two or three years from now.
It’s not just about dedollarization. Jim also reminded about the increase in interest rates. The central bank is likely to raise interest rates to deal with inflation that occurs.
“The world has never seen this much debt, spending and money printing in recent years. So something very disastrous is going to have to happen to solve the problem this time around,” Jim asserted.
Jim also explained that all financial and investment markets such as stocks, bonds and forex would experience significant challenges. And the impact of this crisis for the world is quite wide and large.
It is important for every individual and policy maker to see the ever-evolving financial landscape. Monitor developments to make the most appropriate decisions. | <urn:uuid:5dcdcea6-9f64-4a91-a6b6-75254c6882dc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.kanalcoin.com/jim-rogers-predicts-bad-bear-market/ | 2023-10-04T21:05:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.960524 | 658 |

intematix introduces remote phosphor for led high bay lighting
join date: 2013-4-7 total viewed: 685
intro: intematix has announced availability of its reference design for a low cost, high light quality and efficient led high bay lighting system using remote phosphor technology.
intematix has announced availability of its reference design for a low cost, high light quality and efficient led high bay lighting system using remote phosphor technology.
intematix remote phosphors convert light from blue leds into white light up to 30% more efficiently than conventional white leds. as a consequence of increased efficacy, remote phosphor reduces costs for lighting systems by implementing fewer leds and other components and by cutting power consumption. the new 22,000 lumen light engine, based on a novel architecture, exceeds performance levels of traditional sources, operating at 110 lumens/watt efficacy according to tuv, a provider of certified testing.
the department of energy has projected increasing levels of efficacy for led technology toward the goal of replacing all conventional sources while increasing their quality and ease of implementation. as an example of this trend, the intematix high bay lighting module produces 5000k cct, 73cri and uniformity of 3 macadams over angle, uses only 9 blue led arrays and is sealed against moisture at ip66. | <urn:uuid:8c3c47ef-45f4-4a2f-b8f0-a1a377d3d0f8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.kartingww.com/newshow/id=255.html | 2023-10-04T19:49:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.928628 | 279 |
Fresh off their summer tour opening for Steely Dan, Stryker releases Prime—the first recording featuring his working trio. Along with Jared Gold on organ and McClenty Hunter on drums, Stryker offers eight new compositions and the beautiful standard “I Should Care.” From the burning title track “Prime” to songs penned for his first boss Jack McDuff (“Captain Jack” and “Dude’s Lounge”) as well as “Mac” for his drummer and the original trio versions of “Hope” and “As We Were” from Stryker’s last album As We Are, Prime grooves from start to finish with the precision of a trio that has been road-tested for the last 12 years.
“In October of 2020 my long-standing trio of organist Jared Gold and drummer McClenty Hunter was booked to play a concert out of town. Due to the pandemic, in lieu of traveling we were given the opportunity to tape a show that could be streamed by the venue. Inspired by getting the chance to play together again after eight months in lockdown and knowing we would be in the studio, I was motivated to write an album of new music—my first featuring this trio exclu- sively. I decided we would record live in the studio with just one take per song and no overdubbing. The connection, interplay and fire of the group was captured on that day and we’re happy to now share with you the music of our trio in its Prime.” Dave Stryker
ABOUT DAVE STRYKER
Whether you’ve heard guitarist Dave Stryker leading his own group (with 34 CD’s as a leader to date), or as a featured sideman with Stanley Turrentine, Jack McDuff, and many others, you know why the Village Voice calls him “one of the most distinctive guitarists to come along in recent years.”
Hot House magazine awarded him Best Guitarist Fans Decision for 2017. He was recently voted once again as one of the top Jazz Guitarists in the 2022 Downbeat Critics and Readers Polls for the 15th time.
Dave’s last 5 CD’s have all gone to #1 on the JazzWeek Radio chart. His most recent “As We Are” features John Patitucci, Brian Blade, Julian Shore and a string quartet led by violinist Sara Caswell. Critics are calling it one of Dave’s greatest works yet. “Eight Track III” stayed at #1 on JazzWeek Radio chart for 6 straight weeks. “Messin’ with Mister T”, is a celebration of the man he worked with for over a decade — Stanley Turrentine, “Mister T” — with ten of the greatest tenor sax players on the scene today. It went to #1 on JazzWeek Radio and stayed in the Top 50 for 20 weeks and has received great reviews including 4 1/2 stars in Downbeat magazine.
Dave Stryker grew up in Omaha, Nebraska and moved to New York City in 1980. After establishing himself in the local music scene, he joined organist Jack McDuff’s group for two years 1984-85. When McDuff wasn’t on the road (literally traveling by van all over the country) they worked a steady four-night a week gig at Dude’s Lounge in Harlem. His first break, this turned out to be an invaluable experience, paying his dues night after night with the soulful jazz organist. It was at Dude’s Lounge that Stryker met tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine, who would occasionally sit in. After leaving McDuff, Turrentine asked Stryker to join his quintet. From 1986-1995 he played with the legendary saxophonist at all the major festivals, concert halls, and clubs throughout the world. He is featured on two Turrentine CD’s (Stanley recorded Stryker’s tune “Sidesteppin”). With Turrentine, Stryker was able to play with such jazz greats as Dizzy Gillespie and Freddie Hubbard. The ten years playing alongside the tenor legend helped Stryker realize the importance of having his own sound. Dave continued to work with Stanley and was with him during his final week at the Blue Note in NYC, when he passed in Sept. 2000.
Early on Stryker realized that as much as he loved playing standards and the jazz repertoire he had to have something of his own to give to the music. He feels that his writing combined with his playing is what shapes his musical expression. He has recorded and published over 150 of his own compositions and has released “The Dave Stryker Songbook” with most of his original music. Also 18 of the compositions (from the first five SteepleChase CD’s) are compiled in the book: “The Music of Dave Stryker” (SteepleChase Music) which can be ordered on this website.
Some of the other artists who have recorded Dave’s music are: Stanley Turrentine, Kevin Mahogany, Victor Lewis, and Steve Slagle. Dave continues to perform with The Dave Stryker Organ Trio, Dave Stryker Eight Track Band, and his Blue to the Bone Band. Dave Stryker’s Trio will be opening for Steely Dan’s 2022 Summer tour “Earth After Hours”.
Recent gigs have included Birdland, the Blue Note, Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola at Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Monterey Jazz Festival, The Newport Jazz Festival, The Keystone Korner in Baltimore MD, The Jazz Bakery in LA, and tours of Europe, canada and Japan.
Dave co-led The Stryker/Slagle Band for 30 years with saxophonist Steve Slagle. He has appeared on over 75 CD’s as a sideman. Past sideman work has included vocalist Kevin Mahogany’s group, with Dave writing and arranging music for Kevin’s Telarc release “Pride and Joy” and “Another Time, Another Place” on Warner Bros and tours of Europe, Japan, Brazil, Poland and Carnegie Hall. As a producer, Stryker compiled the CD “The Guitar Artistry of Billy Rogers” which is the only existing record of the brilliant jazz playing of the late underground legend who was his friend, former teacher and member of the Crusaders. He has also produced “A Tribute to Grant Green” on Evidence Music and has produced many other artists. (See below).
Dave is Adjunct Professor of Jazz Guitar at Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University and John J. Cali School of Music at Montclair State University. Dave recently launched his online teaching school at www.artistworks.com. His book “Dave Stryker’s Jazz Guitar Improvisation Method Vol III” is available on his website at www.davestryker.com. | <urn:uuid:d4d4c080-08d8-48cb-8627-9e8b2070d044> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.katesmithpromotions.com/artists/dave-stryker/ | 2023-10-04T20:08:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.972641 | 1,504 |

On January 29, 2019, it has been revealed the Big Bang’s Seungri has resigned from his director role at Club Burning Sun.
In a KBS News 7 report, Seungri resigned from his directorship position prior the alleged sexual assault claims and patron abuse claims exploding in the media. The report also claims that Seungri was never really the owner.
“Burning Sun is currently registered under a different name [not Seungri’s],” a club affiliate said. “While the owners were working on the interior to run a club within the hotel, they heard that Seungri was looking for a position for running a club and they proposed that they work together. This is why everyone thinks Seungri is the CEO. It’s true that Seungri participated in the operation of the club but he is not the actual owner of the business.”
In the official statements regarding the incidents at the club, Seungri’s name is not present, further cementing that Seungri may not be attached to the club. Lee Seong Hyeon and Lee Moon Ho are currently listed as the club’s CEOs.
However, the club’s own website states Seungri still owns and runs the club.
Seungri’s resignation seems suspect to many Netizens following the cases surrounding Club Burning Sun. To them, his resignation indicates his awareness of the situations and that he’s simply running away in attempt to save face. Netizens still wish for Seungri to provide a statement about the incidents, especially since he was still the owner during the time the assaults took place. Netizens also want a statement after discovering he was actually at the club the night of the alleged incidents thanks to an Instagram post by Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon.

Meanwhile, some now-former fans of Seungri, YG Entertainment, and Big Bang have launched boycott campaigns due to the multiple scandals that follow all three entities.
A Netizen posted a call-to-action for people to boycott Big Bang and Seungri in order to send a message to YG that the group should not be shielded. In a post translated by Koreaboo, the Netizen states:
Don’t buy YG contents.. I’m having a lot of thoughts after Seungri’s controversy.. I just deleted and threw away all the YG songs and albums that I bought for BLACKPINK and BIGBANG. Let’s boycott itㅠㅠㅠ So that money doesn’t become a source of authority.. Let’s show them how scary the people who loved them enough to make them rich can be
If we continue to buy their songs and contents, YG will think the public are fools. They’ll think that time will heal, it will be okay once they go and return from the army, if we send out good songs we’ll make money.. Other entertainment agencies will see it and think, ‘Oh? The other agency was able to cover up anything they did as long as they had money?’..
If you really love BIGBANG and YG artists, shouldn’t you reprimand them instead of shielding them?? So they can walk a better path
I’ve never once written on Nate Pann before. The policemen who arrested the victim, the employee who only cared about his laptop when a woman who was roofied was struggling as she was dragged out, Seungri who was at the club on that day… It made me want to write this post.
I realized how this one situation probably happens much more often than we realize, and I was shocked.. The stories that we see on movies like ‘Veteran’, ‘Inside Men’, ‘The Outlaws’, and ‘Man From Nowhere’ actually happened in real life, and I’m scared our society is going to get worse.
Please don’t do anything about this, thinking ‘This has nothing to do with me. As long as I’m fine.’ Everything that happens in society will affect you in some way at some time.
Those of you who complain about being born in high class and low class, please understand that way of thinking was born from these kinds of people who think money is power.”
This story is still a developing one. Stay tuned for more updates! Meanwhile, what are your thoughts about boycotting YG and YG artists?

Celebrating Women in Leadership Roles in the Tech Industry
The technology industry, specifically, has been continuing to close the gender gap.
Photo by Tima Miroshnichenko
Today’s organizations recognize that a diverse workforce based on gender, race, age, and other factors is good for business. Diverse teams perform better and are more innovative. The technology industry, specifically, has been continuing to close the gender gap. Deloitte Global predicts that large global technology firms, on average, will reach nearly 33 percent overall female representation in their workforces in 2022, up slightly more than two percentage points from 2019. The proportion of women in other industry roles will also presumably nudge up as well.
Parul Bharadwaj, a seasoned technology professional based in Seattle, WA, who has worked with tech giants such as Amazon and DoorDash Inc., says she is very encouraged by opportunities that lie ahead for women as technology companies continue to renew their commitment to advancing gender diversity. Currently employed as a senior technical program manager at DoorDash, Bharadwaj leads engineering-wide initiatives such as data infrastructure, real-time streaming, rollouts, experimentation, analytics, data compliance, and governance. She said she finds inspiration at DoorDash, where female leaders such as Liangxiao Zhu, vice president of engineering; Sophia Vicent, senior director of engineering operations; Avani Nanavati, technical product director; and Varsha Dudani, director of engineering, display the potential for women to hold key decision-making positions. “I commend DoorDash for its efforts to expand women’s roles,” Bharadwaj said. “When hiring for leadership positions, research shows that the percentage of female candidates with required experience is low, but DoorDash is tactically addressing this problem by hiring women in management, thereby giving women the opportunity to gain experience today to lead as executives tomorrow.”
Setting New Standards
A report by McKinsey & Company suggests that companies with a diverse workforce are more likely to have higher financial returns. Apple Inc.’s latest diversity report reflects that hiring a more inclusive workforce across different areas is important. Bharadwaj says she is optimistic about change with these types of trends and notes that there are also prime examples of women who have succeeded in the industry outside of her company who continue to inspire her to remain passionate about her work. Some notable names include:
- Susan Diane Wojcicki, chief executive officer (CEO) of YouTube. A Polish-American business executive who has more than 20 years in the tech industry.
- Reshma Saujani, founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, a non-profit organization based in New York, NY, that aims to support and increase the number of women working in the computer science field. In 2010, Saujani became the first Indian-American woman to run for U.S. Congress.
- Deirdre O’Brien, senior vice president of retail at Apple. Named to Fortune’s list of the world’s most powerful women in business in 2019 and appeared on the Fast Company Queer 50 list in 2021.
As a young girl, Bharadwaj remembers wanting to work in a career that would allow her to transform the future while shaping the present. That passion led her to digital technology. “The possibilities for innovation always seemed infinite,” she says. “It is a field at the forefront of our ever-evolving world. And it was this desire to make an impact, to maintain a competitive edge and to stay relevant that led me to this field.” She continues to see herself as someone who is part of enabling a massive growth of key online platforms that continue to make an impression on a global scale. “This not only gives me the opportunity to keep learning about new tools and technology and deliver better products and services, but also keeps me hungry to explore different ways of solving new problems.”
Despite her accomplishments, when looking back on her career Bharadwaj says she could have chosen to abandon her ambitions at a young age, but she was fortunate enough to receive the right guidance and support from her family to pursue her dreams. Today, she wants to play a leading role in helping other women to achieve heights in their careers. Bharadwaj says she has enjoyed success and suggests that a healthy mindset can go a long way when combined with valued education and industry skills. Suggestions that she hopes other women can practice include:
- Network with peers who share similar experiences, challenges, and solutions.
- Always know your worth based on your education, skills, and experiences.
- Invest in continuing education.
- Evaluate goals frequently.
- Take chances when the timing feels best.
Plans For More Equity
Through diversity training, onboarding, coaching, and mentoring, progress is being made throughout industry as well. According to Bharadwaj, “when you hire a diverse workforce, you must also be sensitive to and be able to recognize differences among those employees. Listening to people who have different life and career experiences reduces the likelihood of falling into group-think patterns.” It's just reality today. Innovative companies must have people at the table with different backgrounds. In this way, organizations harness excellence as they reshape the power structure for a better future for all.

A couple of weeks ago my nurse came to me with a request for a consultation. Since our schedule has been packed full lately, she’s been asking me where I can squeeze patients in.
She said, “I’m not sure about this one — he says you treated him twenty years ago and he wants to see you. But there is no new pathology so I don’t know how urgent it is.”
I looked at the consult request and did not remember the patient but there were several handwritten jottings on the cover sheet from the referring physician that listed phone numbers and beside them, “no answer at this number x 3,” and “Dr. Fielding hasn’t worked here since 2004.” Apparently some effort was made to track me down, since I have changed jobs a few times in the last twenty years. I said, “Well get the latest information on the patient and put him in the open emergency slot a week from Friday.”
So Friday came yesterday and this patient was scheduled at one o’clock. I like to review the charts before I see new patients, so I picked up the chart during a hurried lunch and read through it with a growing sense of recognition, and no small amount of dread.
The man had been treated for advanced head and neck cancer back in 1994. He had presented with cancer on the lateral aspect of his tongue, which was excised by his surgeon. Six months later, he recurred both on the tongue, on the soft palate, and in his neck, with a large tumor wrapped around his jugular vein. His surgeon tried, even sacrificing the large vein, but he could not resect all of the cancer and the patient was referred to me for post-operative radiation therapy.
Given that the man was only 51-years-old, his medical oncologist made the decision to give him chemotherapy along with the radiation, a decision which was considered quite radical at the time. Treatments for head and neck cancer back then were crude by today’s standards, and fraught with complications, and this man had had all of them.
By 2000, he could no longer swallow, and his esophagus had to be dilated. This happened again in 2008, and another procedure provided relief. His saliva never fully returned after treatment, and so in 2012, plagued with tooth decay, he began a series of extractions, augmented by hyperbaric oxygen therapy to prevent osteoradionecrosis of his mandible. Unfortunately this did not work, and he ended up having a portion of his jawbone removed.
A year ago, he began to have a new issue — when he tried to swallow the food was going down “the wrong way” and causing him to choke, resulting in several episodes of aspiration pneumonia. It was becoming hard for him to go out socially, and enjoy a meal with friends and family. His carotid and vertebral arteries were narrowed, putting him at risk for stroke. Multiple recent studies showed no evidence of recurrence of his cancer, but there was scar tissue in the back of the throat which prevented the epiglottis from closing over the trachea when he swallowed. These were the things I read in his chart before I saw him, and I anticipated that our session together would be an angry one.
Tall, older and thinner than I had last seen him, the patient greeted me with a huge hug. His wife smiled warmly. As we sat and talked in our sunny consultation room, he described his current difficulties and told me that his surgeon had referred him back to me for electrical stimulation therapy of the throat muscles, which might help his aspiration. Our institution has an entire department for the rehabilitation of head and neck cancer patients. I groped for the right words to say to this man who had suffered through complications which are rare by today’s standards of care. I apologized profusely, and explained that now we have better ways of shielding normal tissues to spare patients the terrible late effects of treatment. I told him I would be happy to put in a referral to our swallowing and speech rehabilitation specialists.
He looked at me in surprise, and said, “Doc, I didn’t come here for that. Dr. M (the surgeon) already put in the referral. When I found out you work here, I came to say thank you. I was fifty one when I was told that my chances of survival were 10 per cent. Now I’m seventy one years old.” He squeezed his wife’s hand and said, “We’ve traveled the world together. We’ve seen our grandkids graduate high school. We’re going on a cruise to San Francisco next week. Yeah, I’ve had my problems but we’re still having fun!”
Some folks are just “the glass is half full” kind of people. Having always thought of myself as one of them, I’m surprised it took me a whole consultation to recognize that in my patient. Taking care of cancer patients has always been a good way to remind myself that my own life is not so bad. Lesson learned, again.

Achieving a successful transplant outcome is a team effort. From organ intake management to waitlist management, it’s a complex journey to get a life-saving transplant—whether it be a kidney or lung—to the lucky person receiving it. The stories around transplants going from donors to recipients are deeply emotional and inspiring.
OmniLife Health is a Keyhorse-backed company with a platform that transforms the organ transplant journey by simplifying clinical workflows and standardizing complex care pathways. OmniLife’s platform, FlowHawk, lets care teams access data and insights that help them improve productivity, manage staff, and optimize billing.
We asked the company’s co-founder and CEO, Dalton Shaull, a few questions about his journey, inspirations, and predictions for the future of software in healthcare.
How did you become interested in workflow management for organ transplantation?
DS: I had the experience of spending four years working with our hospital partners and clients. Our product is an evolution of being customer-centric and agile to adapt to the evolving market, follow the money, and try to build value and ROI for our early clients.
What inspired you to co-found a company?
DS: There are several: I was inspired by my tissue transplant, my co-founder Eric’s family struggles with liver failure and disease, my uncle is a transplant surgeon, and a family friend’s three-year-old child needed a heart transplant to survive.
Staffing shortages, mass consolidation of primary care, aging population, increases in complex care cases driven by heart disease, diabetes/CKD/ESRD, lung disease (accelerated by CV19), complex cancers, and increased remote/out-patient care all result in an increased need for collaborative care.
Tell us about your team: Who’s on it, and how did you meet?
DS: My co-founder Eric Pahl and I met at the University of Iowa at an entrepreneurial networking event. Dyan Bymark, our Chief Commercial Officer, joined in 2022. Her sister received a life-saving liver transplant. Dyan came from Teladoc Health and has over 10 years of startup health IT experience with three successful exits. Jake Sorg, our interim COO/advisor, came from Symplr Health and has over 30 years of Health IT experience with five exits. Before Symplr, Jake served at Trizzeto, which was acquired by Cognizant, and served as VP of National Practices at Cerner Corporation, which was acquired by Oracle. Matt Stafford, our SVP of sales, joined in 2022. He has over 10 years of selling into the hospital provider markets and extensive experience in organ failure/complex care. You can read more bios and get to know other team members here.
Where do you see healthcare-related software headed in the near future?
DS: Staffing shortages, mass consolidation of primary care, aging population, increases in complex care cases driven by heart disease, diabetes/CKD/ESRD, lung disease (accelerated by CV19), complex cancers, and increased remote/out-patient care all result in an increased need for collaborative care. All of this is driving a systematic demand for improved care coordination and communication.
What does success look like to OmniLife Health in the short term and long term?
DS: OmniLife Health is the #1 care collaboration and clinical workflow automation platform for complex care. This means that OmniLife leverages its first-mover advantage to dominate/monopolize the organ failure market and as a result, grows into other complex care verticals within hospitals, health systems, IDNs, and ACOs—starting with oncology. | <urn:uuid:77140df3-8f7a-482c-8bb3-15e463be1282> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.keyhorse.vc/post/founder-stories-dalton-shaull-of-omnilife | 2023-10-04T19:17:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.959371 | 772 |

About the ’88 tour, about 200 Motels, about remixing CDs… you’ll love it.
Conducted by Peter Eötvös, the tunes played (if I’m correct): Penis Dimension, Dupree’s Paradise, The Perfect Stranger. The concert is said to be broadcasted on the 21st of December on France Musique radio.
Rich of another Ugly Radio writes:
We are doing a ten hour marathon of The Mothers on Portland OR station KBOO this Friday night starting at 8pm (PST). That’s right, it’s time once again to remember our Mothers. Of course we mean The Mothers of Invention. Frank Zappa’s seminal band of renegade freaks and musical experimentalists. Bizarre and hilarious indigenous “folk” music, borne of the denizens of the streets of 1960s Los Angeles and El Monte.
Join us FRIDAY, MAY 8TH from 8:00 pm until 6:00 am. Featuring rare live performances, “incidents”, interviews, and special Mothers gifts for those who decide to become a MEMBER of Community Radio KBOO during the broadcast.
Frank Zappa, on the air with Mark Simone, October 30th, 1978, at WPIX-FM, New York, just prior to one of his annual (and albeit, infamous) Palladium concerts. It’s quite easy to see why these Palladium concerts were of the must see variety.
I wonder if the Warren that FZ is saying hello to “on air” is the same Warren Cuccurullo who later joined his band?
“I’m ending Zappa’s Grubby Chamber, not from oppression but because of the sheer difficulty of physically transporting myself to and from the distant radio station very late on Friday nights, and retaining my health and sanity.
Too bad, because there are lots of unexploited ideas for the show. But I have to focus on my actual job.”
Kevin L. Hoover tells us that tonight is the last ZGC show (more details on his weblog Crush All Boxes. The show starts at 10 PM (Los Angeles time); details to listen online, here.

Last Saturday’s hard-earned but well-deserved 2-17 to 2-15 victory over Toomevara secured a place in the County semi-final for the first time since 2019. It was the first time since 1990 that we recorded two successive championship victories over our neighbours – 1986 & 1990 North finals. This latest victory follows on from our North semi-final victory in 2018. Although only two points separated the sides on this occasion a five or six-point margin of victory would be a more accurate reflection of the of the game. MacDonaghs hit sixteen wides and were denied two goals in the first half when Rory Brislane came to Toomevara’s rescue.
This was a much-improved performance compared to the display against Clonoulty when a number of players struggled to find their form. We had eight different scorers from play and although the radar was malfunctioning on occasions we were creating the chances and we avoided aimless shooting. MacDonaghs were the better team in the opening half and led by 0-5 to 0-4 after twenty-five minutes. In the 27th minute David Young fired the sliotar to an empty net after we had been turned over in possession while trying to clear our lines. With thirty one minutes gone the teams were level but Toomevara raised two white flags to take a two-point lead into the dressing room at the interval.
MacDonaghs carried the game to Toomevara in the opening minutes of the second half. Willie Cleary converted a free in the 33rd minute. He then turned provider a minute later. Niall O’Meara surged up field and did a quick one-two with Jerome Cahill. When the movement broke down Willie Cleary latched on to the broken ball, soloed through the defence, hand passed the sliotar to Kian O’Kelly who buried it from close range. Ten minutes into the half Seamus Hennessy was introduced into the fray as MacDonaghs held a one-point advantage. His impact was immediate. He struck two points from distance inside a minute. Toomevara managed to stay in the game and were just a point adrift with four minutes of normal time left. Brian O’Meara had replaced the injured Kieran Cahill in the 54th minute and to nobody’s surprise he was despatched to the edge of the square. Just on the field Buggy made his presence felt. Thomas Cleary broke a long puck out from Páidí Williams to Seamus Hennessy. Seamus flicked it to the flying James Cleary who rode two tackles hand passed it to Jerome who danced round his marker, palmed to the unmarked Brian O’Meara who stretched full length to bat it to the net for a peach of a goal. Cian Darcy added a monster of a point from inside his own 65 as the pendulum swung very much in MacDonaghs favour. With a five-point cushion we should have closed out the game.
However, we were in for a tense finish when Jack Delaney scored Toomevara’s second goal in the 59th minute after we had failed to deal with puck out that dropped on the 45 metre line. Three minutes later Kevin McCarthy added a point from a free to leave just a point between the sides. Cian Darcy then got in a vital hook on Kevin whose shot for the equaliser trickled harmlessly wide. Rory Brislane’s long range effort from a free just outside his own 65 – well within his range - dropped short and Niall O’Meara went into the clouds, offloaded to Seamus Hennessy who relieved the pressure. In the final minute of added time Kian O’Kelly won a crucial free on the right wing. Willie Cleary held his nerve and sent the sliotar between the posts to clinch a two-point victory.
Team: Páidí Williams, Kieran Cahill, Jack Peters, James Cleary, Conor Austin (0-1), Niall O’Meara (0-1 free), Eoin Hogan, Sean McAdams (0-1), Mark O’Neill (0-1), Willie Cleary (0-5 frees), Jerome Cahill (0-1), Kian O’Kelly (1-2), Thomas Cleary, Cian Darcy (0-3), Aaron Morgan. Subs: Seamus Hennessy (0-2), Brian O’Meara (1-0)
In the County semi-final we have been drawn to play Upperchurch Drombane on Sunday, 9th October in Semple Stadium at 2.00pm.
In the second round we came out the wrong side of a 1-14 to 1-13 scoreline against Silvermines in MacDonagh Park. This panel has been badly hit with injuries with Colm Williams, Martin Wash and Nathan Lynch all ruled out. Jonathan Cahill was on vacation so it was an achievement to field a team for this encounter. After 21 minutes the teams were level MacDonaghs (1-5) Silvermines (0-8). Diarmuid Cahill had scored the goal from a penalty in the ninth minute after a foul on Louis Kennedy. Silvermines dominated the rest of the half and led by 1-10 to 1-5 at the break.
After 38 minutes Silvermines were six ahead. Bit by bit MacDonaghs clawed their way back into the contest and were just one behind with four minutes left. Despite their best efforts they couldn’t secure the elusive equaliser.
Team: Alan Quinlan, Arran Conroy, Fergus England, Sean Quinlan, Stephen Cleary, Shane Williams, James Loughnane, Diarmuid Cahill (1-3, 1-1 frees)l, Finnian Mannion, Eoin England, Kevin Quinlan (0-1), Níosa Minogue, David Williams (0-5, 0-3 frees, Louis Kennedy (0-4), Fionnan Hurley. Sub: Colin England.
In the final group game we are at home to Kiladangan this weekend. Fixture details have yet to be finalised.
MacDonaghs qualified for the ‘A’ final with a hard-earned 1-11 to 0-11 victory over Newport in Puckane. It was a perfect evening for hurling with no breeze of any significance to affect the play. The opening exchanges were very even and after ten minutes the teams were level on 0-2 each. Kilruane began to get a grip of the game and scored five points on the trot, a brace from Cillian Healy and one each from Michael Cleary (65), Ray Quinlivan and Michael Hennelly. Newport rallied towards the end of the half and raised three white flags. Michael Cleary replied with a pointed free. Just before the break Michael was unlucky to see his shot whizz past the butt of the post with the Newport keeper beaten. MacDonaghs had a 0-8 to 0-5 interval lead which wasn’t a true reflection of their dominance in the opening half.
On the restart, Ray Quinlivan extended the advantage with a point from play. Newport converted a free to leave three between the teams again. In the 37th minute William Jones whipped the sliotar to the net after taking a pass from Michael Cleary. MacDonaghs now had a healthy six-point cushion and looked like they were going to drive on. However, the goal seemed to galvanise Newport. The hit the next five points and Kilruane went nineteen minutes without registering a score. While the forwards struggled in the second half the Magpies defence excelled. Shane Cleary and Paul Molloy were outstanding with all their colleagues in the backs rising to the occasion. With five minutes of normal time left our lead was down to the minimum and the momentum was with Newport. To the team’s credit they dug deep and chiselled out a victory. In the 56th minute Michael Cleary sent a magnificent long-range free sailing between the posts and two minutes later Cillian Healy extended the lead to three with his third point of the game. In closing minutes Newport attacked in search of the equaliser but our defence remained defiant.
In the final we will play the winners of Toomevara and Nenagh.
Team: Andrew Austin, Fearghal Doheny, Shane Cleary, Jack Quinlisk, Paul Molloy, Tommy Burriss, Cormac Gaynor, Fiachra Woods, Cillian Healy (0-3), Michael Hennelly (0-1), Tommy O’Meara, William Jones (1-0), Dara O’Looney, Ray Quinlivan (0-2), Michael Cleary (0-5, 0-3 frees , 0-1 65). Subs: Charlie Kennedy, Cathal McIntyre, Johnny Naughnane. Referee Peter Carroll (Burgess).
It was a very successful Saturday morning for both our sides in Páirc na nÓg, Thurles. Our second team recorded a nail-biting 1-6 to 2-2 victory over Cashel. Both teams agreed to play thirteen-a-side instead of the official nine-a-side. The sides were level on 0-2 each at halftime. A Cashel goal seven minutes into the second half put them into the driving seat. MacDonaghs were back on level terms with eight minutes left when Oisín Carroll found the net. Three points on the trot sent Kilruane into a three-point lead but a Cashel goal in the last minute of normal time tied up the game. Four minutes into added time Oisín Carroll bisected the posts to hit the winning point. We face St. Mary’s in the final.
Team: Colin Gaynor, Odhran Goulding, Tadhg Teefey, Shane Carroll, Conor McGrath, Sean Whelan, Oisín Carroll (1-1), Dylan Sheahan, Emmet Dwyer (0-1), Arman Kan Wahid, Liam Killackey, Shane O’Meara (0-2), Ciaran Foote ( 0-2, 0-1 65). Sub: Cian O’Looney. Remainder of panel: Daniel O’Brien, Robert Cleary, James Last (Sick) Rory McLoughney (Injured), Ronan Hayes (On holidays).
Referee: Donal Leahy (Moyne Templetuohy) Frees For: 2 Frees Against: 11
Our first team booked a spot in the final with a 6-10 to 3-2 victory over Clonoulty Rossmore. MacDonaghs were always in control of this game and enjoyed an eleven-point lead at the interval.
Team: Dara Gaynor (0-1 free), Kalen Grace, James Gould, Mark Cleary, Tommy Gaynor, Lukah Williams, Jack O’Meara, Karl Ryan (0-1 free), Tarla Doris (0-2), Hugo Healy (1-3), Senan O’Leary (1-1), Gerard O’Looney (3-2, 0-1 free), Tom Campbell (2-0). Referee: Murt Ryan. Frees For: 11 Frees Against: 14

To watch the Wonderland film, please click HERE.
‘Wonderland’ began in the summer of 2009, born of grief for my mother Maureen, who died 7 months earlier in November 2008. Back then as I sat in my kitchen sewing the first rough costume, nothing could have prepared me for the 5-year journey that lay ahead. What started as a desperate distraction from the pain of reality, led to a dramatic turning point in my career, and consequently my entire life…..
My mother was an English teacher, who spent over thirty years inspiring generations of children with her stories and plays. She was rarely seen without her head in a book, or writing in her own vast diaries, which she had kept since I was young. In April 2008 she was diagnosed with a brain tumour that left her too ill to be brought home to England from the small French village where she and my father had retired. Instead of a funeral filled with her friends and ex-pupils, we had to make do with a tiny family gathering, which left me heartbroken and compelled to do something that would never let her be forgotten.
In the months that followed real life became a difficult place to deal with, as I found myself retreating further into an alternative existence through the portal of my camera. This escapism grew into the idea of creating a storybook without words, dedicated to her, that would echo fragments of the fairy tales she had read constantly to me as a child. Originally it began as a small summer project, but none of us could have predicted the path that lay ahead and the very special friendships it would produce. From the moment I met hair and make-up artist Elbie Van Eeden there was a sense of something deeper, we became extremely close and the series blossomed into our own private playground within the ancient woodlands that surrounded my home. Some days I would walk for hours in the landscape searching for it’s high points of natural wonder, at times waiting a full cycle of 12 months for a certain flower to bloom. I wanted to convey the feeling that despite it’s theatrical inhabitants, my Wonderland was in fact real and all around us, something many of us have become blind to in this digital age.
As the months passed I developed a deep bond with the land, it became my church, the place where I could process my sadness and speak out loud to my mother. Without at first realising it, a subconscious parallel had developed between my journey through grief and the lead model Katie Hardwick in the photographs. She had become a mirror to all I was feeling, and so I chose to embrace the ebbs and flows of loss, and let my emotions guide the narrative of the series.
In the beginning I was still working full time as a fashion designer and could only spend my evenings and weekends creating the costumes and props. Everything was entirely self funded, so I worked with the most basic of materials to try and achieve results as convincing as possible, scavenging and customising whatever I could lay my hands on.There were no stylists, designers or huge teams of assistants involved. It was simply a few passionate friends helping out for free, whilst I scraped together the funding for raw materials from of my wages each month.
None of the pictures were a recreation of a story that already existed, to me that felt empty and pointless. Instead it was a blur of colours and settings inspired by the faded illustrations of my childhood books, mixed up with memories, grief, and my new found spiritual connection with nature. As the project progressed some of the new character’s concepts could take up to 5 months to make. I found their physical creation became my favourite part, and the chance to actually step into the frame on shoot days was unlike any other experience in my life. It became a way to block out the ghosts of the hospital and a chance to momentarily live in a more beautiful place than the darkness of my reality. At last I could lose myself behind the camera, it was a relief and began to heal me in the most unexpected of ways.
Two years into the project I found it almost impossible to cope with the demands of the series whilst holding down my full time job in the city. On the verge of a breakdown in December 2011, I felt I had no choice but to leave my fashion career behind, to dedicate my future to finishing the project and the dream of producing the book. It was the hardest decision of my adult life, but thankfully also one of the best.
Ever since that day, life has been a roller coaster of emotion and so much hard work it is difficult to put into words; but as I sit in front of this computer screen 10 years after my mother passed, I can finally say quietly to myself that the dream did come true. Wonderland continued for a further 3 years and was completed in November 2014, cumulating in 74 photographs. After a number of offers from publishers, in September 2015 I decided to walk away from all contracts and instead launch my own Kickstarter campaign in order to make the most beautiful book I physically could without any compromises. The campaign went on to become the most successfully crowdfunded photobook ever made, raising £334,000 in just 28 days and was completely sold out within 2 months. 8 months later, due to overwhelming public demand, a Second Edition was released which now continues to sell around the world.
The series eventually reached the major press, being recognised by Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue Italia, The Royal Photographic Society, The BBC News, The Guardian and The Telegraph to name just a few. It has since been exhibited in London, America, Spain, South Korea, Milan, The Netherlands and Sweden and now has over 400,000 followers on social media.
Finally this winter (2018) for the first time ever, the entire Wonderland series has opened as a major museum show at Fotografiska in Stockholm – one of the worlds largest meeting places for contemporary photography. It will then to tour to their London and New York venues over the next two years, and possibly reach further partnering museums in the future.
So this has been a bittersweet tale to tell, ten years ago my world had ended, I had never felt so lost, numb and alone. Yet what was the worst thing to have ever happened to me, somehow bloomed into something extraordinary that I may have never known in another life. I’ve learnt that grief can take you down in the most monumental way, but it can equally lead you along a path you never expected. This is something I try to hold on to everyday, especially since my own cancer diagnosis after the birth of my first child in 2015. I’ve learnt to embrace what we have thrown at us, to try to take the sadness and fear and make something meaningful and beautiful in it’s place.
Nothing I write can express how losing my mother has felt, or how she touched the lives of the many who loved her. I miss her more than words can ever say, and I still struggle greatly with the void she has left. This series is all I physically have inside of me and is the best I can offer to commemorate the incredible person she was. I have tried my hardest for her, just as she did for me.
She will always remain in my heart…… this is for you mum. xx | <urn:uuid:ea3a0784-56c0-4906-8c58-ee96a0d2010b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.kirstymitchellphotography.com/galleries/wonderland/the-story-behind-wonderland/ | 2023-10-04T20:23:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.982042 | 1,503 |
AirVenture 2020 was canceled, which made Oshkosh’s Wittman Regional Airport a very quiet place in late July. If it was strange for you to stay home, it was equally strange to be nearly the only person there. No fireworks or explosions, no thrumming warbird formations or ear-splitting military flybys, only a field waiting for our return. This video shows where we gather. If you need to remember why we gather, I try to answer that here.

For those who suffer from chronic health conditions such as diabetes, it can generate a glimmer of hope when new and innovative treatments appear on the market. While these medications promise effective solutions, the potential for unforeseen consequences also exists.
Two such medications, Ozempic and Mounjaro, have recently come under scrutiny as numerous reports of severe health issues have begun to surface. If you have suffered injuries or illness due to using either of these drugs, it’s important to explore the legal options available to you. With the help of a personal injury attorney, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit and seek compensation for your losses.
The Consequences of Taking Ozempic or Mounjaro
The diabetes management drugs, Ozempic and Mounjaro, have recently been shown to lead to severe gastrointestinal episodes. These drugs, which belong to a class known as GLP-1 receptor agonists, are known to slow the passage of food through the stomach. However, this mechanism can trigger violent reactions, plunging patients into bouts of extreme nausea, persistent vomiting, and digestive burning, sometimes leading to hospitalization.
Amid growing concerns about the potential dangers of Ozempic and Mounjaro, individuals have taken steps to voice their experiences and seek justice. Patient allegations have led to a series of lawsuits against the manufacturers of these medications.
Patient Allegations and Lawsuits
The lawsuits against the manufacturers, Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, revolve around allegations of inadequate warnings and a failure to disclose potential risks associated with Ozempic and Mounjaro. Plaintiffs claim that their health and well-being have been compromised due to the medications’ side effects, and they assert that the manufacturers should have provided clearer information about these potential harms.
As these legal actions progress, the spotlight on patient allegations highlights the significance of responsible disclosure and patient safety within the pharmaceutical industry. This controversy serves as a reminder of the importance of holding companies accountable for the potential consequences of their products, ensuring that patients receive the transparency and protection they rightfully deserve.
Legal Grounds for Filing a Lawsuit
When pursuing legal recourse for injuries caused by medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro, several fundamental legal principles come into play. These principles form the foundation upon which individuals can build their case to hold pharmaceutical companies accountable for potential harm.
- Product Liability and Negligence: One key legal principle is product liability, which asserts that manufacturers have a responsibility to ensure their products are safe for their intended use. In the context of pharmaceuticals, this involves proving that the medication in question was defective or unreasonably dangerous.
- Failure to Warn: Another critical concept is the failure to warn. Pharmaceutical companies are required to provide adequate warnings about potential risks and side effects associated with their products. If neglecting to disclose important information about a medication’s risks leads to harm, it may open up grounds for legal action.
- Establishing Causation. A fundamental aspect of pharmaceutical lawsuits is proving causation. This involves ruling out other potential causes of any injuries or illness sustained and demonstrating a direct link between the medication and the harm suffered by the patient.
How to Get Started with Your Claim
Embarking on the path toward justice begins with understanding your rights and options. If you’ve experienced harm due to using Ozempic or Mounjaro, taking swift legal action is crucial. Start by seeking expert advice from a personal injury lawyer to assess the validity of your claim. An experienced attorney can provide an estimate of the damages you are owed, help you build a solid case, guide you through each step of the claims process, and work towards obtaining the compensation you deserve.

The American “Youtuber” who came under fire for his racist comments against BLACKPINK claimed he made an apology for earlier comments, but did something else entirely.
The video was posted as a reaction video to BLACKPINK’s “So Hot”.
The “Youtuber,” JUSTiN’s WORLD, had previously posted a reaction to “DDU-DU DDU-DU” where he called BLACKPINK “hoes” and Rose a “slore”.
“Go see that video and then look at this video and you can clearly see that this is why the world is the way that it is today, because everybody is so sensitive.” — Justin’s World
In his video, he continues making more racist comments, and even mocked BLACKPINK by attempting to mimick them with some “Korean” singing.
He also called BTS “the other women” of K-Pop when he mistakenly mentioned BTS instead of BLACKPINK.
Fans are saying he is mocking BLACKPINK and insulting BTS in a desperate attempt to bring attention to his unknown channel.
As he was responding to comments on the previous video and this one, he told BLINKs who criticized his comments that they deserved to be slapped.
“Who even sits and types this bulls%$it? You need to be smacked. Everybody at the BLINK office, I just want to line up and single file slap the s*%t out of each one of them. I’mma double hands smack you.” — Justin’s World
He wrapped up the video by cussing at BLINKs for their hateful comments.
“To all you BLINK fans posting comments telling me to f*%$ myself, die, go to hell, displaying a bunch of head-assery, f#*% you. F*%# all of you.” — Justin’s World
BLINKs can’t believe his apology was made in such a crude way and many are commenting that he needs to own up to his insults.
- “His apology is worse than Logan Paul’s.”
- “I wish people could be reasonable and criticize K-Pop without being flamed, but there’s a difference between constructive and interesting criticism and then insults. You can’t just make excuses and say ‘ah everyone’s so sensitive’ – no, mate, you’re rude, own it, apologize properly and move on.”
- “You are getting hate because you are disrespecting the language. You also make fun of their Korean words because some of them sound English (like the n word.) If you can’t stand not listening to another language then please stay with English music and stop annoying us.”
- “I WOULD SAY THAT THIS VIDEO WOULD LOOK WAY BETTER WITH THE SCREEN AND SOUND OFF.”
Fans also expressed their opinions on Twitter, to which he responded by using an inappropriate insult.

Minnesota acquired the biggest name available on Monday, adding a three-time Stanley Cup winner. The bold move boosts the Wild's chances of making the playoffs and perhaps making a deep run for the first time since reaching the 2003 Western Conference finals.
The Wild gave up a conditional first-round pick in this year’s draft, and Chicago agreed to pay half of what is left on the last year of Fleury’s three-year contract.
“It was a very open, collaborative process and Minnesota obviously was a very favorable location for him,” Chicago’s first-year general manager Kyle Davidson said. “I’m glad we could work out something that worked for the Wild, Marc and also the Blackhawks."
The 37-year-old Fleury, who was 19-21-1 with four shutouts in Chicago, won the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goalie with the Vegas Golden Knights just a year ago. The high-scoring Wild effectively exchanged Fleury for Kaapo Kahkonen, who they traded to San Jose for a fifth-round pick, and gave themselves an option in net other than Cam Talbot.
Here's a look at some of the other winners at the deadline, when 33 deals were made involving 54 players, and in the days leading up to the potentially pivotal day:
NEW YORK RANGERS
The Rangers, who failed to make the playoffs last season for the third time in four years, improved their chances of making noise in the postseason for the first time since reaching the 2015 Eastern Conference finals.
New York bolstered its defense by acquiring Philadelphia's Justin Braun and improved their depth up front, adding Tyler Motte from Vancouver and Winnipeg's Andrew Copp. The Rangers gave up a total of five picks, including two conditional second-round selections to Winnipeg, along with a pair of minor league prospects.
The NHL-leading Avs, clearly, are not content with their place in the standings by acquiring forward Artturi Lehkonen from Montreal to make plays at both ends of the ice. They also landed San Jose forward Andrew Cogliano to add depth after bolstering the blue line after acquiring defenseman Josh Manson from Anaheim last week.
TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING
Winners find a way, and the Lightning looked as if they did on Friday by acquiring 23-year-old forward Brandon Hagel — who scored 21 goals for a second straight season in Chicago — for a pair of first-round picks.
Tampa Bay also added a layer of toughness by adding 6-foot-3, 225-pound forward Nick Paul from Ottawa in a quest to become the NHL's first team to win three straight Stanley Cups since the New York Islanders won four in a row from 1980 to 1983.
“Everybody’s trying to get that extra edge — whatever they think that is," coach Jon Cooper said.
The Panthers, who lead the rival Lightning in the Atlantic Division, made a splash Saturday by acquiring seven-time All-Star forward Claude Giroux from Philadelphia a few days after adding standout defenseman Ben Chiarot of Montreal.
Vying with Carolina and the Rangers to win the Metropolitan Division, the Penguins added 16-goal scorer Rickard Rakell from Anaheim. His 154 goals in 550 games rank fifth on the Ducks' all-time list and his secondary scoring is needed in Pittsburgh.

This post is the third in a series of posts on Route Redistribution. If you didn’t yet read the first two, here are the links:
So far in this series, the route redistribution examples we’ve worked through used a single router to do all of the redistribution between our autonomous systems. However, from a design perspective, we might look at that one router and realize that it's potential single point of failure.
For redundancy, let’s think about adding a second router to redistribute between a couple of autonomous systems. What we probably don’t want is for a route to be advertised from, let’s say, AS1 into AS2, and then have AS2 advertise that same route back into AS1, as shown in the figure.
The good news is, with default settings, that probably won’t be an issue. For example, in the above graphic, router BB2 would learn two ways to get to Network A. One way would...
In a previous post, we considered the need for route redistribution, and we also took a look at some configuration examples. This posts builds on that previous configuration and discusses how we can filter routes using route maps.
Specifically, the previous example performed mutual route redistribution between EIGRP and OSPF, where all routes were redistributed between the two autonomous systems. However, some design scenarios might want us to prevent the redistribution of every single route. One way to do that filtering is to use a route map.
For your reference, here’s the topology we’re working with:
Also, with our current route redistribution configuration, the IP routing table on router R1 looks like this:
Let’s say, for some reason, we don’t want the 192.168.2.0 /24 network redistributed from EIGRP into OSPF. One way to do that filtering is to use a route map that references an access control list (ACL).
First, let’s go to router R2 and...
If the security track is on your radar, particularly CCNA Security, you need to have a working understanding of configuration and troubleshooting with Cisco's Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

All the best,
Our organizational IT environments are constantly changing, driven by factors such as telecommuting, cloud technologies, and BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies. This requires modular and dynamic architectures in place, allowing flexibility while still maintaining a rigid security posture. One of the most foundational ways to accomplish this is through the use of network security zones, which we'll take a look at in this blog post. We'll cover common security zone types, and also zone filtering policy considerations for each.
A security zone is a portion of a network that has specific security requirements set. Each zone consists of a single interface or a group of interfaces, to which a security policy is applied. These zones are typically separated using a layer 3 device such as a firewall.
In a very broad sense, a firewall is used to monitor traffic destined to and originating from a network. Traffic is either allowed or denied based on a...
Introduction to Route Redistribution
Until there is one routing protocol to rule them all, there is a need to have multiple routing protocols peacefully coexist on the same network. Perhaps Company A runs OSPF, and Company B runs EIGRP, and the two companies merge. Until the newly combined IT staff agrees on a standard routing protocol to use (if they ever do), routes known to OSPF need to be advertised into the portion of the network running EIGRP, and vice versa.
Such a scenario is possible thanks to route redistribution, and that’s the focus of this blog post. Other reasons you might need to perform route redistribution include: different parts of your own company’s network are under different administrative control; you want to advertise routes to your service provider via BGP; or perhaps you want to connect with the network of a business partner. Consider the following basic topology.
In the simple topology show above, we’re wanting OSPF and...
I get asked a lot about home lab equipment by those interested in studying cybersecurity, particularly CCNA Cyber Ops and CompTIA CySA+ students. In this new video, I'll give you a look at my setup, and give some recommendations for creating your own basic security lab and why it's important.
All the best,
Whenever someone asks me what direction they should focus their IT career, particularly in regard to cybersecurity, my answer is always the same: “It depends.” It’s usually not a very satisfying answer, but it’s an honest one.
Early in my own career I learned the pitfalls of not specializing in something. While there’s always a place on a support team for someone who seems to know a little bit about everything, this makes for a very poor career move. On the surface it seems like a great idea, but in reality…
It’s simply not possible to be an expert in everything. Everyone hits their limits with time, memory, and determination eventually, so we must choose wisely what we want to specialize in. Having no specialty is a recipe for a mediocre career, especially in cybersecurity.
So, if you’re just kicking off your security career, or re-tooling and looking for inspiration, the best place to start is finding a specialty. A few...
One question that I get asked all the time goes something like this: “How can I break into the cybersecurity field without any experience?” We hear the stats all the time about zero-percent cybersecurity unemployment and over a million job openings, but is it actually possible to get into this sector with little or no real-world exposure?
Just as with many other careers, I think cybersecurity (and IT in general, I would argue) suffers from unrealistic expectations, particularly at the entry level. I’ve had discussions with so many students who are shocked that employers aren’t beating their door down, after they’ve obtained legitimately difficult and prestigious certifications. The truth is that competition is fierce. Degrees and certifications guarantee nothing, in reality. That’s why it’s so important to be well-prepared in every possible way.
So, the short answer is yes, it is possible to get into the cybersecurity field with...

I recently returned from the Cisco Live US 2018 event in Orlando, Florida. It was a great experience, with lots of conversations, sessions, and insight. You can expect more content about what I learned over the coming weeks.
But for now, I'd love for you to checkout an interview I did with Network Chuck. If you're not familiar with Network Chuck, you're in for a treat. He's an instructor at CBT Nuggets, but I've been a fan of his YouTube channel well before that. His enthusiasm for all things IT is contagious, and I'm sure you'll get some valuable insight from him in this interview.

I’ll start off with this. I am not in academia and do not have a PhD. I am an engineer and scientist who turned into an entrepreneur with a background in academic and industry research. My job is to work with organizations in research. I started a company to build a product that will change the way science is done and turn a profit. I started it with my co-founder because I cared about science and wanted to see organizations succeed among the myriad of operational issues they encounter in their labs on a daily basis. I find it exciting to see products that change the lives of people and how they work, in whatever industry they are in, which is why I have find companies so fascinating. But are all organizations in science and research approaching innovation the same way? To that effect, I would like to have a frank conversation on the following topic; are academics producing the kind of results that are producing products that government, industry and the general population demand for the betterment of everyday life?
The Answer; Well it depends. For the majority of scientific research, the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Health are the largest entities funding academic research in the United States. They have funded everything from the Human Genome Project to the world's first supercomputer. However, in an economy that is desperate for innovation and job creation, the intense directive to these organizations has been to fund organizations that have the potential to produce these results. This falls in direct conflict with the academic status quo.
In academia, the majority of research is done by professors, graduate students and post-doctoral associates with minor contributions from undergraduates and the majority of research in academia can be considered theoretical research at best. In other-words, this is research that may be interesting but does not actually produce a tangible product. Don’t get me wrong, some of this stuff is really exciting. But this is not what science in America needs right now. It’s not something industry is going subsidize and more importantly, the government does not want to either. In America, we need jobs. We need success stories. We need real, tangible innovation. For this, it’s time to look at the statistics. (See here)
So let’s talk about life sciences. In the life sciences, the NIH is the most prevalent funding organization. In academia, a large majority of funding comes from this organization. In 2015, their estimated budget is just above $30 Billion USD. (See here) In 2004, this budget was closer to $40 Billion USD implying a reduction in appropriations at a rate of $1 Billion USD per year. This is not to mention that while a budget may increase a maximum of 0.7% per year, the cost of doing business (or in this case the cost of doing research) is rising at a rate of 2.9% a year. This has created a stir and as a result, organizations in the sciences have been trying to cut their losses. The biggest losers (you guessed it) are academic institutions. A perfect example is the University of Virginia, where their grant awards have dropped from $252 Million USD to $187 Million USD. And federal and state governments don’t look like they are going to change direction on these policies. In short, universities across America are having conversations with their professors on ideas on how to go forward…and it’s becoming difficult.
In this environment, if academia is suffering, who is doing well? One Word: Start-ups. The government has been showing an enormous favoritism to start-ups because of their job creation record. They have been working on projects such as scaling solar power and electric cars. They have been investing in cyber security and strategic defense. In Massachusetts, a cradle of life science, start-ups have been funded by millions of dollars of funding for research and product development in cutting edge drug and medical device research that out paces the best academic research institutions. In addition, they are some of the States’ largest job creators, attracting the best talent from all over the world and making Boston and Cambridge some of the most innovative cities in America. This is not to mention that private companies and investors have been investing profusely into these new companies with the expectation of high returns. The best part; they are just as trained and as capable as their academic counterparts. In an economy where the majority of manufacturing is now being done abroad, start-ups have been driving the resurgence of innovation in America. And this scares academics to no end.
Academics and Industry have a complicated relationship. Industry values the academic world for its achievements and technological know-how which has prompted many successful partnerships. However, industry has been looking for financial returns more than ever. This is why there has been a reduction of partnerships over the past 5 years. Academics (to be honest), have a real reservation of working with industry experts. Within university walls, academics are able to maintain their independence and to some extent, set their own expectations and their own time table. As long as you have tenure and funding, you really have nothing to worry about. When adding a fiduciary responsibility to the mix where they become responsible to a corporation for their results, many academics have expressed the sentiment of enslavement or as one professor put it at a recent university meeting I attended, “we are afraid of being gagged.” I have two words for people who think this way; Wake up. If academics take money of any kind, they should be held accountable. They, like research scientists at private companies, should be responsible for the results they bring.
In short, from a capital standpoint, I believe that academia is no longer fundable (and I don’t think I am the only one). I’m sure this is a controversial comment. Ask a financial capital expert and the academic stock is considered a “long term, high risk” at best (and they are not alone with that opinion). I’m sure this is a controversial comment as well. And yes, there are exceptions. However,the past trends do not lie. Waste and lack of results at these organizations is nothing new and there are multiple papers published on this topic. (See here). This is unacceptable in an industry setting. In that regard (in all honesty), the bailing out of General Motors was a better investment. It saved millions of jobs and tax payers got their money back, something that the majority of academic projects cannot promise. I think it’s time to save tax payer dollars and invest in start-ups and companies who are developing the jobs and the applied technologies of the future. And if academia wants to be a part of this phenomenon (which I think is in the next 10 years is going to prove inevitable), I think academic labs should partner with them. As a matter of fact, I think it should be mandated. And to that effect, university labs will be able to indulge in this emerging market and create a strategy of success for the future.
For example, ask MIT and Stanford. They are doing it already…and they are not worried about federal or state government funds. They are investing into the future by leading from behind and creating a formula to rapidly take technology from their labs and bring it to industry. They are working with start-ups and their founders and succeeding on a tremendous scale. Conclusion: Universities need reform to stem the decline and academics need to put pride aside, build products of the future and learn to work more closely with their industrial counterparts, lest the concept of a research university ceases to exist in all but a few, innovative places. | <urn:uuid:1454253e-c5f3-4a76-ae35-c83b6c2933c8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.labcloudinc.com/news/the-decline-of-academic-research-and-the-rise-of-startups | 2023-10-04T20:36:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.969923 | 1,560 |
LSPA performing murder mystery this weekend
Published 8:00 am Thursday, April 20, 2023
Mystery, murder, and perhaps a bit of humor accompanies Lafayette Theatre Company’s latest production, Agatha Christie’s “The Mousetrap, presented by the Lafayette Society for Performing Arts (LSPA) and Design Group.
“The Mousetrap” is a suspense-packed period play that will have the audience on their feet, trying to figure out who the villain is.
With its reputation for having the longest run of any play in the world, cast members have worked to handle Christie’s traditional twists and turns, breathing fresh life into the seventy-year-old play.
Written by thriller extraordinaire, Agatha Christie, “The Mousetrap” opens at Monkswell Manor in the winter of 1952. During a snowstorm, guests and staff find themselves stranded at the hotel and learn of the murder of the local woman. It soon becomes clear that the killer is among them, and the seven strangers grow increasingly suspicious of one another.
A police detective, arriving on skis, interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. When a second murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate.
“The Mousetrap” is a cunning, intricately written play that has captivated audiences for years, and Jack Morman, the director, shares the same enthusiasm.
“I love ‘The Mousetrap.’ It was one of the first shows that I performed during college. I have loved it ever since,” Morman said.
As Morman reflects on the journey of putting together the show with the cast and crew, he said he looks forward to audiences seeing their hard work on the stage.
“When you match great characters with talented actors like this cast, you end up with a magical night of theater. This cast and crew are perfect examples of what community theater should be,” Morman said. “When we began our rehearsals, I asked each cast member why they put themselves through this process. Their responses ranged from, ‘It is where I find joy,’ to ‘it helps my soul to breathe.’ We hope your soul is touched as you enjoy the work that all our artists are providing.”
Detectives bring your sleuthing expertise and put your wits to the test from April 20-April 23.
The venue is the LSPA Black Box Theatre located at 214 Bull Street in downtown LaGrange. The shows are on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night beginning at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday afternoon at 3:00 p.m.
To purchase tickets for “The Mousetrap” and additional LSPA productions visit www.LSPArts.org or by calling LSPA’s box office at (706) 882-9909 during business hours. General seating: ($20 adults/$15 students).

The weather stations are all predicting record cold in the next few days. Record cold means staying in the house. Staying in the house means lots of ‘together time’. Use that time to promote language use and development and have fun as well.
These frosty days are perfect for working together not only on language use and practice, but beginning to develop some independent functional skills that promote a sense of independence and pride. You have all you need to accomplish this in your kitchen. Cooking, baking, food prep….functional and filled with language.
Creating in the kitchen builds a sense of togetherness and promotes language development and use. For most, food is a motivating force to decrease inappropriate behaviors, increase language use as well as social skills. For loved ones that are not motivated by eating different foods, you may be surprised at their willingness to help in the kitchen and be around different smells, tastes and textures (all great ways to start introducing new foods to limited palates).
Below are links to wonderful resources that not only promote cooking and baking as therapeutic tools, but provide free materials for everyone (young and old and in between) to participate in together time in the kitchen.
- Your Special Chef – collections of simple recipes with photo cues – perfect for all ages

Your notions of swiss chard may have been developed in some neighborhood panaderia or at a cramped table jammed against the wall of a far-off bodegón, or maybe on a chilled winter afternoon in your grandmother’s kitchen.
But you’d be hard pressed to find something like the version over at Gran Dabbang; here, they don’t call it a buñuelo, but rather, a pakora. The inspiration is from far away India but the emotions are familiarly porteño. Wheat flour is swapped out for a chickpea batter before being precariously tossed into a deep fryer—some strands stretch outward and come out long, thin and crunchy, others stack and weave together into thick, softer bites. They are all costumed with a double dutch of homemade yogurt and mild sriracha that bounce and twist along the tongue.
It is difficult not to fall in love with Gran Dabbang, the crammed restaurant along the otherwise gastronomically anonymous Avenida Scalabrini Ortiz, which waltzes with the cooking of Southeast Asia and in particular India, fused with national ingredients and regional Argentine dishes.
Gran Dabbang marked an antes y después in the porteño approach to distant culinary traditions. While many restaurants that fall into the Southeast Asian genre attempt to imitate flavors of far off lands with blurred broad strokes, chef Mariano Ramón and his team use them like a sketch. Five years later, their influence is just beginning to peak its head around the corner in the form of ingredient forward restaurants that splice together wide reaching global tastes.
The mood is a paradoxical fusion of formal and structured. Servers who double as cooks refuse your entry until the entire party has arrived, and no more than two tables can be squeezed together whether you are a party of five or eleven. Food soars out fast, moving from the kitchen to your table in the order that it flies off the grill, meant to be shared and eaten sloppily with your hands. You quickly forget the strays from restaurant norm.
It is hard not to be enamored with an apple chutney served with goat cheese stuffed chipa the size of a small wheel, or a smokey lamb curry, bolted with cloves and lowered down to earth with a coconut chutney. Pops of fennel, cumin and black mustard seeds lash to the tongue. It is scooped up with a powdery roti—you can fight over the solo flatbread or be smart and order an extra portion. Artichokes are courageously served whole—did you know artichokes are unripened flowers?—diners yank off the petals, dip them in a nutty smoked garlic sauce and scrape off the guts with the back of their teeth.
Try the fanta orange sweet potatoes dampened with soy sauce, fried chiles and lotus root, goat ricotta and pureed pears. The mix is meant to be squished between crunchy yellow cabbage leaves. Or the burrata served with a chunky eggplant, creamy harissa and citrusy onions topped with pops of pomegranate seeds.
For wine, a rustic orange wine by Pelihueso is a fine choice, although a neutral Pinot Noir by Zorzal has a good personality without taking the attention away from the food in front of you.

c. 400 BC
On the fifth day, the Greeks came to the mountain, and the name of it was Theches. When the men who were in the front had mounted the height and looked down upon the sea, a great shout proceeded from them, and on hearing it, Xenophon and the rearguard thought that some new enemies were assailing the front; for in the rear, too, the people from the country that they had burned were following them, and the rearguard, by placing an ambuscade, had killed some and taken others prisoners, and had captured about twenty shields made of raw oxhides with the hair on. But as the noise still increased and drew nearer, and as those who came up from time to time kept running at full speed to join those who were continually shouting, the cries becoming louder as the men became more numerous, it appeared to Xenophon that it must be some very great moment. Mounting his horse, therefore, and taking with him Lycius and the cavalry, he hastened forward to give aid, when presently they heard the soldiers shouting, “The sea! The sea!” and cheering on one another. Then they all began to run, the rearguard as well as the rest, and the baggage cattle and horses were put to their speed. And when they had all arrived at the top, the men embraced one another, and their generals and captains, with tears in their eyes. | <urn:uuid:5faa3aec-e2ce-493d-966c-8a55047f20d7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/conversations/xenophon-heinrich-heine | 2023-10-04T20:20:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.994053 | 312 |

VERIFY 3D LIBRARY
VERIFY 3D GLOSSARY
A measurement that includes three values, one each for the X, Y, and Z directions. The values are the distances from an arbitrary 0,0,0 point.
How close a measurement comes to a specific value. In different disciplines accuracy is defined in different terms. In laser scanning, generally it means how close to the true value a measurement comes. cf. PRECISION
ACCURACY – MEASURED & ACCURACY - REPRESENTED
Measured accuracy refers to the accuracy of the direct laser measurements taken while scanning. Measured accuracy refers to the POINT CLOUD. Represented accuracy refers to the accuracy of the objects in the CAD model. Objects are sometimes drawn square, plumb, and true even though they are not. The choice of representing objects as square, plumb, and true or not depends on the objectives of scanning and modeling.
AS BUILT & AS DESIGNED
Any complex structure, such as a hospital, is carefully designed, but as construction proceeds, changes are made, sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. Laser scanning is often used to compare the design drawings or models to the actual construction. The differences between AS BUILT and AS DESIGNED are useful to owners, constructors, regulatory agencies, and others.
A surveyor’s term for a precisely known elevation at a specific coordinate.
A mathematical representation of a parametric curved line. This allows the succinct representation of complex curves that do not conform to simple geometric shapes such as circles, rectangles, and ellipses that are easily defines by simple equations. Beyond the BÉZIER CURVE is the Bézier surface for representing three dimensional curves.
An abbreviation for Building Information Modeling. A set of methods for creating a virtual duplicate of the physical and functional characteristics of a structure according to certain rules, conventions, and standards.
Short for Computer Aided Design Model. CAD models are data representations of a (generally) physical thing. The data can be stored in many different formats, most of which are propriety to the vendor of the CAD system. CAD models can be built manually or built from POINT CLOUDs. The construction of the CAD MODEL from the POINT CLOUD is semi-automatic.
A collection of software that is used to manipulate CAD MODELS and POINT CLOUDS. Among the many companies that offer such are AutoDesk, Bentley, Dassault Systèmes, Technodigit SARL. Among the many products for such are AutoCAD, Revit, Navisworks, Microstation, 3D Solidworks, 3D Reshaper.
A laser scanning term for a location with precisely known coordinates. During scanning, control points are often established at locations that will not move, such as the base of a structural steel column.
DENSITY OF SCAN
The number of measurements taken by the laser scanner per unit area. For example, if the laser scanner is set to take twenty measurements per square meter of a surface, that is one-fifth the density of one-hundred measurements per square meter. Specifications for laser scanning should include density of scan, and this is usually written as the number of measurements per unit area at a specified distance from the scanner. Specifications for laser scanning change depending on the purposes to which the scanning data will be put. Collecting measurements more dense than needed wastes time. Collecting measurements less dense than needed runs the risk of insufficient ACCURACY in the resulting models and drawings.
A surveying instrument that emits pulses of laser light and calculates distances based on differences between the emitted pulse and the light that was reflected back from some object.
LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT (LOD)
A measurement of the amount of detail in a modeled object. The Level of Development is usually expressed as a number between 100 and 500; the higher the number, the more detail. Modeling to a higher level of development is more time-consuming and expensive than modeling to a lower level. Specifications for laser scanning and modeling should take into account the uses to which the data will be put and identify a specific Level of Development that matches the needs of those who will use the data.
An abbreviation for Mechanical Electrical Plumbing, which distinguishes those systems from the architectural, structural, HVAC, and other components of a building.
MESH or WIRE MESH
A data format built from the POINT CLOUD in which each measured point is connected to its nearest neighbors in a 3-dimensional surface of triangles. The MESH is used for various purposes including analysis of variations in a surface.
One of the ways a LASER SCANNER measures the distance from the scanner to an object. In this method, the circuitry of the LASER SCANNER compares the phase of the light reflected from the object to the phase of the light emitted by the scanner. From this difference, the scanner can calculate the distance to the object. cf. TIME OF FLIGHT
The collection of measurements obtained from laser scanning. Each measurement consists of X, Y, & Z coordinates and the albedo or reflectivity of the surface. When many measured points are displayed on a computer screen, the resulting image of the object(s) appears cloud like, similar to a pointillist painting of the late 19th. century.
How closely a set of measurements come to each other, or how closely they are spaced. cf. ACCURACY. For example, if the distance to an object is measured four times (1003 mm, 1002 mm, 1004 mm, 1005 mm) the measurements are more precise than another set (1010 mm, 998 mm, 1001 mm, 1005 mm) even though the two sets have the same average value. And all the measurements could be inaccurate or accurate. PRECISION can be represented as the standard deviation of a set of measurements.
Another name for the process of laser scanning. The scanning data in the form of the POINT CLOUD is a fully measured, virtual duplicate of the objects or space that was scanned.
Combining multiple scan positions into a single conglomerate POINT CLOUD. Scans are mathematically aligned using millions of overlapping points between stations. Methods include scan-to-scan and scan to target registration. Targets may be placed on survey control points allowing registration to global or site survey coordinates.
An object of known dimensions and characteristics placed in an area before scanning begins. Placing targets in the scanned area assists in the accurate REGISTRATION of scans, and targets improve the overall ACCURACY of the scanning data.
TIME OF FLIGHT (TOF)
One of the ways a LASER SCANNER measures the distance from the scanner to an object. In this method, the circuitry of the scanner multiplies the time that light took to travel to the object and back by the speed of light in the ambient air divided by two. Variations in the density of the air can affect the speed of light and consequently the measurements. cf. PHASE DIFFERENCE.
An abbreviation for United States Institute of Building Documentation, an organization devoted to the development of conventions and standards for collecting and organizing the various documents of building design, construction, and maintenance. | <urn:uuid:0ddaba71-2e0f-48f1-8e7c-de1c8d2aca27> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.laserverify3d.com/laser-scan-glossary | 2023-10-04T20:02:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.918905 | 1,603 |
Google sales, profit crush Wall Street estimates
That’s how Google’s chief executive, Larry Page, summed up his company’s third quarter.
The nation’s economy may be stalled. Concerns over a global recession may be in overdrive. But Google’s digital advertising engine delivered another NASCAR-worthy performance, even with the economic head winds, sending its shares sharply higher.
In after-hours trading, Google shares rose $36, to $595, up more than 6%. The company released its results after the close of regular trading.
Google’s quarterly sales and profit crushed Wall Street estimates as businesses shelled out more on ads to reach online consumers, showing yet again why the Internet search giant is far less vulnerable than most in the advertising industry. The vast majority of its revenue comes from advertising, chiefly search ads, which are more popular in a rough economy as businesses look to track the effectiveness of their ad dollars.
Analysts say Google is also gaining market share in display and mobile advertising, two key areas of growth.
“Google really seems to be firing on all cylinders,” said Edward Jones technology analyst Josh Olson.
Google earned $2.7 billion, or $8.33 per share, in the three months that ended in September. That was up 26% from nearly $2.2 billion, or $6.72 per share, a year ago. Revenue rose 33% to $9.7 billion from a year earlier.
“Not bad for a 13-year-old,” Page boasted in a conference call with analysts.
Pumping out those kinds of results should allay some doubts about Page’s leadership, analysts say. The Google co-founder got a lukewarm reception when he took over as chief executive in April, but Google has soared past analysts’ forecasts in both quarters since.
Still, investors are concerned about Page investing heavily in what he says is Google’s future, buying up companies such as Motorola Mobility, in a $12.5-billion acquisition, and hiring thousands of employees — even as storm clouds darken the horizon.
Analysts are forecasting tough times for Google in 2012 unless the economy rebounds, particularly in Europe where Google is already experiencing some softness.
Excluding employee stock compensation, Google’s operating expenses rose by nearly 40% to $6.1 billion. Google added nearly 2,600 workers in the third quarter for a total of more than 31,500 employees, all but assuring that 2011 will be the biggest expansion year in its 13-year history.
Page has curtailed some spending by dumping 20 Google products so employees can divert their attention to more promising initiatives such as its new social network Google+, he said.
Page touted the success of Google+, saying it has added more than 40 million users and 100 features. He also said that engagement is “phenomenal,” with users uploading more than 3.4 billion photos.
Google is also focused on its fast-growing mobile business. Its Android mobile software is already the world’s most used smartphone platform, powering 190 million devices, up from 135 million in July.
Page said that ad revenue for Google’s mobile business is more than $2.5 billion, up from $1 billion a year earlier, a milestone that analyst Olson called “impressive.”
The Motorola deal, which Google says it expects to close this year or in early 2012, will come with a large patent portfolio and the hardware manufacturing capacity Google needs to develop its own line of smartphones.
Analysts applaud the acquisition for addressing the threat of patent litigation over Android, including a high-profile trial with Oracle expected to begin this fall. But they remain worried about Google building its own phones, a low-margin business that could undermine other manufacturers’ use of Android software. | <urn:uuid:cbff686d-7ee1-4208-af55-83fe60a48993> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.latimes.com/business/la-xpm-2011-oct-14-la-fi-google-earns-20111014-story.html | 2023-10-04T21:24:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.951581 | 811 |
Sandra Bullock: won’t Wreak Havoc On Our Sweetheart
This is Sandra Bullock.
The woman is nice. She actually is pretty such that women and men love. This woman is comical. She is disarmingly charming. If Keanu Reeves will be the Internet’s man, soft sand is America’s sweetheart™ — and don’t you decide to go messin’ along with girl!!
Let’s grab a walk through Sandy’s going out with history!
With Sandy Dated?
Sandy’s 1st Hollywood sweetheart was actually Tate Donovan. The two found in 1990 regarding collection of romance mature dating Potion #9, which is apparently (I haven’t read it) actually bad motion picture about some analysts slipping crazy while tinkering with a love concoction. It was so very bad that We can’t actually locate an amusing evaluation online how awful it actually was. So incredibly bad that a motion picture offers page notes one of several cornerstone quotations out of this movie as, “Hey, what do you imagine regarding pretzels?”
Hey, what do you might think of those pretzels? We decided this quotation necessary some special interest.
Despite the fact that had been extremely serious for the next 5 years, the like potion didn’t have stamina — Sandy and Tate separated during the early 1995.
After the Tate breakup, exotic outdated Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman for a couple several months (#rebound).
Following the fling with Aikman, Sandy going a much more significant commitment with movies technology Don Padilla. Group set about speculating they are an item when this bird got him as this lady meeting within the premiere regarding the Net, that had been a 1995 movies about a hacker, that we visualize was an entertaining modern-day re-watch (floppy devices, etc!). Don and Sandy survived for a tiny bit over per year before separate.
Sandy & Matthew fulfilled regarding the number a period to destroy in 1996. Sandy’s star would be growing after her top part in Speed, and she put her strength to gather McConaughey the role. Neither of them mentioned they were a relationship at the same time, but Sandra has since talked-about their own romance in earlier times tight, verifying that they comprise with each other. They had a pretty friendly breakup and have now stayed associates throughout the years.
Soft sand accepted many years away from matchmaking (so far as we know), however in 1999, she picked back up and outdated artist Bob Schneider for a few many years. If you’re undecided that Bob try, well, I’m perhaps not often. He or she guide a band called terrible Americans along with a good number of records showcased in cinema, but none of them sounded actually remotely familiar to me. Matter ended in between them in 2001.
Sandra didn’t relax now. She moved on to Ryan Gosling in 2001.
They found in the collection of Murder by rates. This may not be their typical met-on-set absolutely love story wherein two actors actively playing aficionados being fanatics in real life. Ryan played a high-school-aged murderer and Sandra played the investigator wanting to nab him (and in the end killing your). Very intimate! Ryan lasted a few years before getting the boot from soft sand.
If you were forgivingly looking forward to the role where anybody messes along with girlfriend as you just love an appropriate combat and also you online your crisis — congratulations! You have made it. Clasp right up, folks, this one’s a doozy.
In ’09, soft sand set out operate the movie which is why she would have by far the most important acclaim during their whole job, The Blind half. (I mean, yet. There’s even opportunity for Sandy going to united states with another banger.) | <urn:uuid:bef3450a-6e0d-4300-b932-f4d1ddb406a0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.lavazzatunisie.com/2021/10/30/does-it-latest-a-blog-for-individuals-that-are/ | 2023-10-04T21:03:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.963753 | 848 |
Child Custody Laws on Unmarried Parents in Arizona
By Teo Spengler
Updated October 17, 2018
The laws on child support have evolved. The laws on custody have evolved as well. But the laws on unmarried parents and custody look very much like they did years ago. This is significant in Arizona, since some 45 percent of all births in the state are to unwed mothers. When a married couple splits up, each has clear rights to spend time with the minor children, and often courts grant joint legal and physical custody. When an unmarried couple splits up, the law acknowledges the role of the mother, but doesn't give the father many rights unless and until he's proved that he is the father.
Arizona Custody Laws
Custody (parental rights to a child) is one of the most difficult issues a divorcing couple must face. Most parents welcome the arrival of their offspring while the couple is together, but sharing the management and care of minor children when a couple divorces or separates is never easy. The parents must compromise on what they want in terms of parenting time with the kids as well as when making the major decisions in the children's lives like where they will go to school, whether they will attend church and where they will get health care.
In Arizona, these issues used to be called legal custody, physical custody and visitation. Today, they are called legal decision-making and parenting time. Often in Arizona, parents share legal decision-making. This means that both get a vote in the major decisions about raising the children. Parents must also work out a parenting plan that determines the amount of time each can spend with the child. It determines where the child will stay during each weekday and on weekends, holidays and school breaks, too.
Arizona does not mandate parenting time and legal decision making orders. A married couple who wishes to can separate and still raise the children without any court orders. In that case, the courts presume that the parents share 50/50 in both making legal decisions for their children as well as time with the children.
To some extent, the same custody rights in Arizona that apply to married couples in divorces also apply when unmarried couples separate. However, state law puts a barrier in the way of the rights of unwed fathers to parenting time and legal-decision making. This barrier is called establishing paternity.
Unmarried Fathers' Rights in Arizona
Under Arizona state law, when a child is born "out of wedlock," the mother is the legal custodian of the child unless and until paternity is established and the court addresses custody or access issues. This means that the minute a child is born to an unwed mother, she immediately has full and sole custody, basically 100 percent of the legal decision-making and the parenting time, without having to even set foot in a courthouse. She can make all important decisions without consulting the father, and can even seek child support from him without obtaining a custody order for the child. The father can only challenge this presumptive custody by a paternity action or court action for custody.
However, certain actions taken by the unwed parents can alter this. Arizona law recognizes a presumption of paternity that arises after certain actions. Alternatively, the law also recognizes paternity determinations by the court.
If both parents sign the birth certificate of the child born to the unwed mother, Arizona law establishes a presumption of paternity. Likewise, if both parents voluntarily sign a written and notarized or witnessed statement acknowledging the father's paternity, the presumption is established. The law also creates a presumption of paternity when a DNA test is taken and, according to the results, there is a 95-percent or greater likelihood that the man is the father. If the man marries the child's mother, he is presumed to be the legal father of the child. The presumption comes into effect if he is married to the child's mother at any point from 10 months before the child's birth through 10 months after the child's birth. Finally, the courts presume paternity if the mother and father agree to paternity and appear in court on a child support or parenting time matter.
The other way an unwed father can establish paternity is by getting a court-ordered paternity test. Either the unmarried mother or the presumed father can ask for a paternity test. Likewise, the child's guardian, a public welfare official or agency, or the state of Arizona can request one. Paternity testing compares the DNA of the child and the father. The family court can use the DNA results to make its legal decision-making ruling and to determine custody rights in Arizona. If some party other than the presumed father demands paternity testing, the father is obliged to appear in court for DNA testing. If he declines to appear or refuses to take the DNA test, the court can presume paternity.
Custody and Child Support Issues
Once an unwed father has established paternity, he is entitled to the same parental access to the child as a divorced or divorcing father who had been married to the mother. That means that he can go into court to ask for parenting time and also to share decision-making for the children with the mother.
Just like with a divorced father, an unmarried father who has established paternity may not get the parenting time he would like. An unwed mother can gain sole physical and legal custody of the child if the court decides that the father is not a fit parent. This can happen if there is evidence that he is a habitual drug user or an alcoholic. A court might also give the mother sole custody if the father has a history of domestic abuse or has neglected the child or other children. If a father has refused involvement with the child for many years and failed to make child support payments, this also militates against the father getting significant parenting time from the court if the mother objects.
Whenever an issue has been raised as to the stability of one parent, the court may grant primary custody to the other parent. Sometimes, the Arizona judge orders an investigation, or requests that Child and Family Support Services make an investigation and report back to the court. And even today, the court tends to award a mother primary custody of very young children on the theory that they do best in one home rather than splitting time between homes. As they grow older, the parenting time can change.
As far as child support goes, the same rules apply to unwed parents as to divorced or separated parents, as long as paternity has been established. Both the mother and the father must provide financial support to each of their children. And courts insist that each parent offer financial support to the child based on the Arizona Child Support Guidelines or else under the terms of a written agreement made between the parents. The courts use a Child Support Worksheet to help figure out the amount of child support each parent provides. They compare this to the required amount and then make the determination as to which parent must pay the other and how much.

John Douglas Arnup, one of the great
Born in 1911, the son of a Methodist minister and moderator of the United Church of Canada, Arnup learned law in one of the great litigation firms, Mason Foulds (WeirFoulds today) and he joined that firm when he was called to the bar in September 1935 just 70 years ago.
At Mason Foulds, Arnup got a rigorous apprenticeship with Gershom Mason, Roy Kellock, Bill Gale, and others. He later said that it was seven years before he took a case to the Supreme Court of Canada but when he did, he did it right, because of the Mason Foulds training.

Arnup did countless cases in many courtrooms.
One of his great cases, fought between 1966 and 1968, was Leitch Gold Mines v.
Bertha Wilson, who also had a role in the case,

There were masses of technical evidence to assimilate, but a crucial factor was the credibility of the plaintiff's key witness. Arnup's successful demolition of that credibility gave him the win.
Popular and respected from early in his career,
Arnup became a bencher at age 40 when most benchers were a good deal older. He
had an extraordinary impact at the Law Society of Upper Canada. He was deeply

In 1970, chief justice George Alexander Gale of
the Ontario Court of Appeal told Arnup, "If I can get you, I can get anybody,"
and Arnup, soon joined by luminaries such as Charles Dubin, Bud Estey, and

Retirement in 1985 allowed him to expand his other career as chronicler of his profession. He wrote many essays, some on substantial issues, some simply colourful stories, for The Law Society Gazette. He wrote a biography of a personal hero, justice William Edward Middleton. He struggled for years to bring into being a history of the Court of Appeal.
A decade ago, I was writing the bicentennial

Instead he insisted I call him John and said very firmly the book was my responsibility and he was merely interested and eager to help. Then he proceeded to give my rough draft an extraordinarily vigorous, careful, and useful critique. If this law thing had not worked out, he could have been a very fine editor.
But he read the chapters in chronological order, and I grew nervous again as we approached the era he knew from personal experience. When Arnup told me he thought I'd got the feel of those times just about right, it seemed as fine a professional compliment as I'd ever received.
I only knew John Arnup in his 80s and 90s, and he seemed the nicest man you could imagine. Considering his career, I realized that in his day he must have been able to be tough, to put work ahead of all else, to be ruthless in court or convocation.
Doubtless he did. But to prepare this piece I looked over many years' worth of recollections of John Arnup. Seems just about everybody has emphasized what a nice guy he was.

Regardless of the degree to which Americans love the game of football, there is no denying the serious risk of injury associated with the game. But when does the risk of injury on the gridiron or any athletic field result in legal liability? Typically, an injured athlete that is looking to file suit will do so under a theory of negligence.
As a general rule in all personal injury law suits, the plaintiff has the burden of showing the defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff, that duty was breached, the defendant’s breach caused the plaintiff’s injuries, and the plaintiff was actually injured. However, due to the inherent violent nature of athletics, courts have formed an exception to this ordinary care standard. As such, coaches, players, and athletic administrators are not liable for any injury that results from an inherent risk associated with the sport. Therefore, liability will only be found when there is a showing of recklessness, or an intentional act, that is outside the scope of the inherent risks of an athletic contest. For example, in Nabonzy v. Barnhill, during a soccer match, a forward kicked the goal keeper in the head while he had possession of the ball. Witnesses testified that the goal keeper had secured possession of the ball and the forward had time to avoid any contact. However, the forward proceeded to strike the keeper in the head with his foot, causing permanent brain damage. The court ruled that the forward’s conduct was deliberate, willful, and with reckless disregard for the safety of the goal keeper. Consequently, the forward was liable for the goal keeper’s injuries.
The relevance of the doctrine of assumption of risk depends on whether it is clear that the person assuming the risk had actual knowledge of the danger and an appreciation of its character. In the context of team sports, it has been acknowledged that, although a participant will generally be held to assume the risk of unintentional injuries suffered at the hands of an opponent or other participant,the participant should not be held to assume the risk that an injury will be inflicted intentionally or as the result of reckless disregard for his safety.
