Can numbers determine our destiny?
I’m sure almost everyone reading this has a favourite number – mine is 6. It hasn’t been particularly lucky for me, but it sure crops up a lot in my life. Some people believe numbers can reveal a lot about ourselves, but can they determine our destiny? Can numbers be used to predict our future?
Numerology dates back thousands of years and is often associated with Pythagoras, the man attributed with a2+b2 = c2. Pythagoras was a religious man as well as mathematician, and he and his followers very much believed in the divine power of numbers and associated characteristics to them.
The practice has evolved over the years and when studied properly, Numerology can help guide important decisions in your life e.g. when to change jobs. Your numbers are unique to you, derived by simple equations using your birth-date and birth name. The resulting numbers all have traits that relate to you as an individual, allowing insight into your personality and where you’re heading. You can’t change these numbers and therefore one could say our destiny is already mapped out – these numbers control us.
Like with astrology, skepticism surrounds Numerology, as there will still be people who have the exact same numbers assigned to them as you, but are living entirely different lives. I think the more open you are to it though, the more you will see the benefits it can bring. My numbers were scarily accurate in relation to my personality; now I understand why I act a certain way and how I can overcome negative traits.
As for predicting the future, a search online will reveal people claiming their Numerology predictions came true, so take from that what you will.
Many cultures have numbers they dread and believe will bring misfortune. For example, in India many tragic events within the last two decades have happened on the 26th of the month – now the number is feared.
There’s no definitive reason as to why 13 is so foreboding in the West, but many refuse to tempt fate by finding out. In China, the number 4 is avoided because the word for 4 sounds eerily similar to the word for death.
However, it’s not all doom and gloom, in many Asian influenced countries, the number 8 is considered to bring wealth and prosperity. In the West, 7 is considered lucky thanks not only to its religious connotations, but also with its appearance in nature e.g. the seven wonders of the world. However, I’m yet to find any concrete examples of where lucky/unlucky numbers, with the exception of 26, have had any mass bearing on historical events.
Whether it’s Astrology or Tarot, numbers play an important role in fortune telling practices. Like with Numerology, numbers can have their own meanings. For example, in Tarot, an abundance of a particular number in the spread or even its position in it, can add extra meaning within the reading. Lots of twos would indicate you’re at a crossroads or have a complex decision to make. Whereas many eights (like with superstition earlier) relate to positivity.
From my personal experience practicing Tarot, I found that if the person I was reading for didn’t believe in it, then their reading made no sense. Perhaps this is why we can’t prove that Numerology or other fortune telling methods work, because to prove something is possible, you have to believe it’s possible.
Science and Nature
How about science – can science and nature prove the power numbers possess?
Well, we’re back to maths with the Fibonacci sequence.
Throughout nature, there are many occurrences of Fibonnaci numbers, from the amount of petals on flowers to the number of spirals of seeds in fruit. Even the human body is made up of these numbers; we tend to have two of something (arms, eyes, kidneys), or five in the case of digits, even DNA can be linked to Fibonacci numbers 21 and 34. Clearly there are certain numbers that bear a huge significance to our existence. Do these numbers determine our destiny though? Well, there’s no official answer, it all comes down to what you believe.
For decades, scientists have conducted experiments on whether or not we have free will and pending on who you speak to, the answer will differ. The Times Paradigm website explains both sides very well. If we do have free will, then it means the future is not set in stone and we can change our fate. If we don’t, then our destiny is pre-determined, in the same way we can’t change the past, we can’t change the future. If the latter is true, there’s no reason to suggest that we can’t use numbers to predict what will happen, in the same way we use numbers and equations to predict possible outcomes in science.
My personal belief is that there are certain things in life that are destined to happen, events we have no control over. It’s the journey in-between these events we can change. Think of it like a map, in most scenarios there are alternative routes that all get you to the same destination. Which route you choose is up to you and can be influenced by the past, length of time it takes to get there or even guidance from someone who has done the route before. That’s where practices like Numerology can help; they act as the guide that helps you pick which route to follow. | <urn:uuid:07f8960e-001b-4b8e-8044-73a11b6dd59a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.subscript.it/can-numbers-determine-our-destiny/ | 2023-10-04T21:12:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.950736 | 1,177 |

The Sunrays project is a passion. It is very dear to the hearts of the authors. Let us run you through the how / where/ why of it all. E-mail had started becoming popular as a means of official communication around the year 2000. Some people started sending jokes to their friends through email.
During one of his visits to Prashanti Nilayam, Puttaparthi, the abode of Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, Sanjay Tandon happened to buy a desk calendar containing quotes from the discourses of Baba. There was a quote for every day. Taking Inspiration from these quotes Sanjay Tandon, started sending a one-liner; Good Thought; to some people through email in the year 2000. Initially he had to bear the brunt of some ridicule too. But he persisted in his endeavour. His friends nick-named him, ‘Mr Good thought’. Later, at the suggestion of his wife Priya, he started emailing an Inspirational story to them on each Sunday.
On an official visit to Reliance Communication at Bombay, he met his friend Mr V. K. Gandhi who praised his ‘Good thought and story’ email venture profusely. He suggested that it would be wonderful if these Sunday stories could be compiled into a book. This sowed a seed in the mind of Sanjay. The couple Priya and Sanjay got down to putting these stories together. Priya illustrated each story with a simple pencil sketch.
With inspiration from Sathya Sai Baba and the perseverance and perspiration of the authors, was created was a work of devotion A compendium of these Sunday stories was released in the name and style of Sunrays for Sunday in the year 2004. The amount of appreciation that poured in from all quarters was enough for them to think that they should make another book and then yet another …
Sunrays for Monday, Sunrays for Tuesday, Sunrays for Wednesday and Sunrays for Thursday followed and each one was blessed by Bhagwan Baba.
The couple continued their noble endeavour, even after Baba left the mortal coil. They released Sunrays for Friday in September 2016 and Sunrays for Saturday in the year 2018, in their effort to divinize each day of the week and resultantly each day of the year. The stories contained here-in, aim to awaken the finer instincts latent in each of us; such that they
become patent in our lives.
The letters and messages that the authors have received from people the world over, telling them how these little stories have helped them to better themselves are proof that their efforts have borne fruit. People of all ages, from all communities are using these books. They are a great resource for parents and teachers to teach value based stories to their wards. They are a great resource for public speaking too, because if quoted proficiently they touch a chord with the audience amidst any business/ executive address. They make great gifts too. If you gift a book instead of a bouquet, it will last forever!
It may not be inappropriate to mention here that taking cognizance of their Corporate Social Responsibility the authors are doing many other social service activities through their NGO ‘Competent Foundation’. These books are also part of their CSR initiative and the proceeds from the sale of these books are used for charity.
Everyone loves a good story. The art of storytelling has been known since time immemorial. Whether you grew up reading Bedtime stories, Enid Blyton, Archie comics, Amar Chitra Katha, Chanda mama, Chacha Chaudhary or Dada-dadi ki kahaniyaan… stories have always tickled the imagination of kids and adults alike.
The quest for the unknown is what keeps the reader intrigued. For that the story teller has to have the skill to keep the reader glued to the book. In the present times where everyone’s mind is clogged with media, multimedia, social networking sites, socializing per se, work pressures, peer pressures etc., the authors of this series of books have something different to offer.
If we look back some years, mothers and grandmothers used to tell stories to children. The values hidden in those stories were imbibed by the children in a subtle manner. In today’s date, let alone parents, even grandparents do not have time to share anything value based with their children. No wonder the values that we as a society were so proud of, are fast depleting.
The Sunrays series of books are essentially works of love and devotion. They are an endeavour to encapsulate into simple stories the human values that are so important to make a ‘man’, out of a man. It is like administering a bitter pill to a baby, under a sugar coating. The taste is camouflaged, but the doze is delivered! Each book in this collection contains 52 Inspirational Short Stories of two pages each. Every story is preceded by a quote chosen from the discourses of Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba and is accompanied by a simple pencil sketch done by Priya Tandon that ensures that the story remains etched in the mind of the reader. The stories in these books are a humble endeavour to invite you to delve into the fascinating world of value based story-reading and story-telling.
The authors urge the readers to read and share an Inspirational story with their family at least once a week. It could be anywhere and at any time. The dining table is perhaps the best place to do it.
Family time is bonding time. Storytelling and sharing is a great way to spend time together. This is a very important tool for good parenting as well as teaching. It is in the formative years that the mind of a child is like a blank slate or like wet clay. Whatever you write on it leaves an impression forever.
I think we as kids, learnt more about the Ramayana, Mahabharata and the Gods and Goddesses from the Amar Chitra Kathas than we learnt from our History books. Moreover reading these comics was a fun thing, whereas school text books always felt like a drag. Learning, when the emphasis is not on learning; is the best kind of learning. We didn’t even realise when we learnt and imbibed those values!
We have also read stories like the Snow white and the seven Dwarfs, Alice in Wonderland, Nancy Drew etc. These too have given us childish wonder, a feel of fairyland etc. The power of expression in good words as well as through pictures is a skill that not many people have.
The Sunrays books contain an ocean of goodness. They contain all the human values that we strive to inculcate in our children as well as in ourselves. Do take a dip and taste the goodness! | <urn:uuid:14ef1109-1858-47af-b77d-64127e23e78e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.sunrays.me/origin-story/ | 2023-10-04T19:28:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.968974 | 1,418 |
Game of the Week – Circus Delight
The circus is coming to town! Remember when the circus was one of the highlights of summer? While there are few circuses still in existence nowadays, you can relive those days of old with Circus Delight.
Circus Delight is the latest video pokie from PG Soft. It has a fun circus theme with some awesome prizes and a free spins feature. Learn more about this game and more about the free spins feature.
The Circus is in Town With Circus Delight
Do you remember going to the circus as a child? If so, you will get to relive some of those memories with Circus Delight. It is the latest 5-Reel, 25-payline video pokie from PG Soft. The game features a fun circus theme with upbeat music and circus-themed symbols.
Paying symbols include Royals, clown shoes, juggling pins, a drum, a monkey playing symbols, and a female ringmaster. Symbols are a mix of low paying and higher-paying symbols. One thing that’s good about this game is that the higher paying symbols only require two on a payline to pay out.
The clown is the Wild for this game. He substitutes for every symbol except for the scatter. Wilds also have a separate payout for two or more on a payline. Also, any payouts including a wild have a 2x multiplier.
Free Spins Feature
The cannon is the scatter for this game. Get three or more scatters on board to trigger the free spins feature. At the start of the feature, there will be two sets of cannons. The first set of cannons are for free spins. Pick a cannon to be randomly awarded free spins. The number of potential spins is based on how many scatters triggered the feature. For three scatters, you will get 8, 12, or 20 free spins. For four scatters, you will get 12, 16, or 24 free spins. Get five scatters and pick 20, 24, or 32 free spins.
Next, you will get three cannons to pick your multiplier. Click one to get a multiplier of 2x, 5x, or 12x. All wins during the free spin feature will be multiplied by this amount.
Also, free spins can be won during the free spins feature. Land 3, 4, or 5 scatters to get 8, 12, or 20 additional spins.
This feature took a long time to trigger and was one of the most disappointing free spin features I’ve ever triggered. I was only able to get 8 free spins with a 2x multiplier. However, I didn’t win but on one spin. I won a grand total of $2 in the free spins feature. Unfortunately, I was never able to trigger it again.
Fun Concept But High Volatility
When I first spotted Circus Delight, I was intrigued due to the theme and the high 96.7% RTP. That’s much higher than the average online pokie. However, what I didn’t bank on is that the game has very high volatility. As such, I quickly found that players will down a ton of money in this game trying to chase some profits.
Granted, there were a few solid wins of $10 to $25, but nothing outstanding. Also, the free spins feature turned out to be a huge disappointment. Playing this game was like going to the circus expecting Ringling Bros and finding out that it was Uncle Harry’s Traveling Circus.
If you don’t mind high volatility, this game is worth giving a try because of the potential for big wins in the free games feature. For smaller stakes players, you’ll want to play something else.

We all have stories inside of us. Some are happy, others are sad. But, like everything else in life, we have the ability to change them. What we do with our stories is up to us. In this blog post, we are going to explore the concept of letting go. What is it? Why is it important? And, most importantly, what are the steps we need to take in order to let go of the past and start fresh with the present? We all have baggage from our past. Sometimes it's difficult to let go of the things that have hurt us. But, if we are willing to take the time to explore and understand our stories, we can start to let go of the things that are no longer serving us. We are all capable of change. Let's start by exploring the idea of letting go, and then take the steps necessary to make it a reality in our lives.
In this blog post, I would like to share with you my journey of self-discovery. I've been through a lot of different phases in my life and I've discovered that letting go is the key to happiness. I hope that by reading this post, you'll be able to understand and apply the lessons that I've learned.
2. Why did I decide to let go?
There are many reasons why someone might decide to let go of something. Maybe the person has grown tired of the situation, maybe they feel like they're not making any progress, or maybe they just don't feel like it's worth their time. In the end, it's up to the person to decide if they think the benefits of letting go outweigh the risks. There are always risks when anything is involved in life, whether it's a relationship, a job, or a hobby. But sometimes it's worth taking the risk in order to gain something else. For me, I decided to let go of my blog because I felt like it wasn't giving me the results I wanted it to. I'm not saying it was a bad blog, but I wanted to try something new.
3. How did letting go, go?
In the beginning, letting go was hard. I wanted to cling to the memories like they were my only friends in the world, but I knew it was for the best. I slowly began to realize that memories are like cobwebs- they hold us back from moving on.
The more I let go, the more space I had to explore and grow. I was able to see that I had been holding myself back for years and years. I had to let go of the past in order to move on to the future.
4. What were the main emotions I felt during the process?
There are many different emotions that go along with letting go. Sadness, anger, regret, and emptiness are just a few of the emotions that can surface during the process.
No matter how healthy or unhealthy the relationship was, it is always difficult to let go. We may be attached to the idea of holding on to something that no longer serves us. There are a few things to keep in mind when letting go. First, be honest with yourself about what it is that you're holding on to. Second, be prepared for the emotions that will surface. Finally, be patient. It may take some time for the emotions to dissipate, but they will eventually.
5. How has letting go changed me?
I remember the first time I let go. It was a difficult process but it has led me to some amazing things. Here are just a few of the things that have happened as a direct result of letting go. 1. I've become more patient. 2. I've become more organized. 3. I've become more creative. 4. I've become more efficient. 5. I've become more flexible. 6. I've become more disciplined. 7. I've become more forgiving. 8. I've become more optimistic. 9. I've become more confident. 10. I've become more loving. There are many benefits to letting go. The key is to start small and work your way up. Once you've begun to see the benefits, you'll be more eager to let go of the things that are no longer serving you.
6. Lessons I learned from letting go
It's been said that when you let go of something, you're actually letting go of who you were at that moment in time. You're transitioning into a new person, and you're starting fresh.
When I decided to let go of my previous job, it was a very difficult process. I was going through a lot of emotions and it was really tough to let go. In the end, I learned some valuable lessons which I want to share with you.
7. What would I do differently next time?
This was a toughie. There are so many things I would do differently next time. Some of them would be small, like taking the time to properly research a potential business partner before signing on the dotted line. Others would be more significant, like not investing all my money in a new business idea before fully understanding the market. It's been said that hindsight is 20/20 and that's definitely the case with business decisions. In fact, most of the time we don't even know what we don't know until after we've made a mistake. That's why it's so important to continuously learn and grow. The biggest lesson I learned from my journey is that I need to be more patient. I'm not saying that I won't ever take risks again, but I will be more thoughtful about it. I also need to be more flexible in my business plans and not be so rigid.
8. Final thoughts
I'm not sure where this journey will take me, but I know it will be an interesting one. I've learned a lot in the last few weeks, and I'm excited to see where the journey takes me next. I'm grateful for the opportunity to write this post and to have shared my thoughts with you. As always, I welcome any thoughts, feedback, or questions you may have.
9. Appendix: A list of resources to help you let go
There have been many times in my life where I've been faced with the decision to let go of something that's no longer serving me. Sometimes it's a relationship, other times it's a job, and sometimes it's something I've been holding onto for too long. The following are some resources that I've found helpful in letting go: -The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman -The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle -The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss -The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown I'm not saying that these books are all about letting go, but they all provide helpful insights and advice on how to deal with difficult situations. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, so what works for me might not work for you. But I hope that after reading this list, you'll have a better idea of what resources and advice might work best for you in your own journey to self-discovery.
It's been a journey of self-discovery for me as I've let go of things I once thought were important. In the beginning, it was hard. I craved the approval of others, I wanted what they had, and I didn't want to be on my own. But eventually, I realized that being on my own provided me with more freedom, and I was able to do things I never thought possible. I'm not suggesting that you have to go through the same process as I have, but I am suggesting that you take some time for yourself and assess what's truly important to you. Once you've identified those things, it will be much easier to let them go.
We hope you enjoyed our blog post on letting go. We know that this can be a difficult process, but it is ultimately one that will lead to a much stronger and happier you. We highlighted five tips that will help you through this journey. We hope that you find the tips helpful and that you can apply them to your own life. Be well and happy, and thank you for reading!
After a breakup, it can be easy to feel lost and confused. It's natural to go through the five stages of grief, but it's important to remember that everyone experiences these emotions differently. Here are the five stages of grief after a breakup: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. It's important to remember that these stages will pass and that you will eventually reach acceptance. In the meantime, remember to keep your head up and stay positive. The best way to cope with the breakup is to take things one step at a time. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing from a breakup, but by following these five stages, you will be on your way to a healthy and positive outlook.
At first, you may feel like it's not really happening. You may try to convince yourself that your partner is simply having a bad day and will soon come around. You may try to rationalize the situation or convince yourself that it's not really over.
In the early stages of the breakup, you may be in denial. You may think that things will get better and that your partner will change their mind. You may think that it's not really over.
Eventually, you may reach the stage of bargaining. You may offer to do anything to make things work. You may try to convince your partner that you're the one that should be the one to go. You may offer to move out or to stay friends.
In the stage of bargaining, you may be trying to get your partner to change their mind. You may be trying to get them to change their mind about the breakup. You may be trying to get them to change their mind about you. Eventually, in the stage of depression, you may realize that bargaining is not going to work and that the breakup is really over. You may feel hopeless and helpless. You may feel like you'll never be able to get over the breakup.
Anger is the first stage of grief. You're mad at the world and everything in it. You may lash out at your ex and their new partner, or you may be bitter and resentful. You may feel like you can't go on. The second stage is bargaining. You're trying to get the best deal possible. You may try to make your ex come back to you, or you may try to get them to change their mind about ending the relationship. The third stage is depression. You're sad and you may feel hopeless. You may feel like you can't cope, or that you'll never be the same again. You may feel like you don't want to live. The fourth stage is acceptance. You've come to terms with the breakup and you may even be grateful for it. You may learn something new about yourself, or you may move on.
The first stage of grief is bargaining. You may feel like you have to do anything to get your ex back, even if it's just getting back together for the sake of the kids. This is a phase where you may try to convince your ex to get back together, or you may try to make him or her change their mind about leaving. In this stage, you may also feel like you're not good enough for your ex and that you'll never be good enough. You may also feel like you deserve to be hurt or that your ex deserved to leave.
After bargaining, you may enter the second stage, depression. This stage is characterized by a lack of motivation, a decrease in appetite, and a decrease in energy. You may also feel like you can't go on and that you don't want to live. The third stage is acceptance. In this stage, you may start to feel better and may even start to look forward to the future. You may also start to forgive your ex and start to see him or her in a different light.
The fourth stage is rebuilding. This is the stage where you start to focus on your own life and start to build a new relationship. You may start to focus on your own happiness and start to focus on the things you're grateful for. The fifth and final stage is moving on. In this stage, you may start to date and find someone new, or you may start to volunteer and help others. You may also start to think about your ex less and less.
After a breakup, many people experience a range of emotions including sadness, anger, and confusion. However, one of the longest and most difficult emotions to deal with is depression. Depression is a mood disorder in which people experience a persistent low mood, diminished interest or pleasure in activities, and diminished energy. It can be caused by a number of factors such as a break-up, a personal loss, or stress at work. If you're experiencing depression after a breakup, it's important to seek help. There are many effective treatments available, and you can get help from a therapist, counselor, or support group.
The 5 stages of grief after a breakup are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Denial is when you refuse to accept the breakup even though it's happening. You may try to convince yourself that it's not really happening or you may act like everything is still the same. Anger is when you feel resentment and anger towards the other person. You may lash out at them or blame them for the breakup. Bargaining is when you try to get the other person to change their mind or do something to make the breakup go away. You may offer them money or favors. Depression is when you feel sad and hopeless. You may have trouble sleeping, eat a lot, or avoid anything that reminds you of the person who broke your heart. Acceptance is when you finally let go and accept the breakup.
We hope you enjoyed our blog post on the 5 stages of grief after a breakup. We know that this is a difficult time for everyone involved, and our blog is here to provide some support and help you through this process. We understand that it can feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel, but with time, you will start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We are here for you, and we will continue to support you through this difficult time. Thank you for reading.

The Department of Built Environment and Energy Technology provides education and conducts research in energy processes and energy systems to support our society’s transition to a sustainable development and a low carbon economy.
Organised by Chalmers and the University of Gothenburg.
We hereby invite you to contribute to Act Sustainable Research Conference 2022, organized as part of the sustainability week, Act! Sustainable, at Chalmers and the University of Gothenburg on November 16-18, 2022. This call is directed to all researchers and PhD-students associated with our two universities who want to strengthen their contacts with other sustainability-oriented researchers, increase their knowledge about the challenges that lie ahead and learn how their research can contribute to change. Furthermore, we encourage contributions from researchers in low- and middle-income countries that are linked to the Global Sustainable Futures platform.
Overall theme of the conference
The conference connects to the overall theme for the Act Sustainable week 2022, Democracy in a changing climate, which focuses broadly on issues related to democracy and the relationships between changes in the social, political and ecological climate. In the plenary sessions of the conference, we will raise key issues such as the impact of democratic decline and increased polarization on academic freedom, future funding and security, and how the academic community can act for equal opportunities for all researchers in a more hostile climate.
Submit your proposals
Fill in the registration form below and upload your full abstract according to the instructions
Deadline 26 August, 2022.
About the conference
Act Sustainable Research Conference is aimed at all researchers associated with our two universities who want to strengthen their contacts with sustainability-oriented researchers and research networks from other disciplines, increase their knowledge about the challenges that lie ahead and learn how their research can impact society.
Science has an important role to play in the transition to a sustainable society. But more cooperation is needed and decision-makers have to act more quickly on research results. Those were the main messages at an international sustainability conference held in connection to the Stockholm+50 conference.
How science-based solutions can drive transformative change
“Science is like a canary in a coal mine. The time between the canary warning us and us reacting is too long.”
UNEP Director Inger Andersen at Stockholm+50
In conjunction with the 50th anniversary of the first environmental conference of the UN, Stockholm University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm Environment Institute held a one-day conference at Stockholm University on how scientists and academia, through research and education, could support sustainable transformations for a better future.
A joint Stockholm initiative for sustainable actions were launched by the three presidents from Karolinska Institutet, the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University. The initiative is called the “Stockholm Trio for Sustainable Actions.” The ambition with this initiative is for Stockholm to become a hub for world-class science on sustainability. The university presidents stressed that universities have a responsibility to act in accordance with the global development goals.
The event gathered approximately 400 participants from around the world.
The budget allocated for the call is approximately MNOK 14 for a period of 2 years (2023-2024). The grant amount is a minimum of NOK 290 000 and a maximum of 430 000 for a period of 2 years.
From 1 January 2022, the NOS-HS Secretariat and the administration of funded projects were transferred from the Academy of Finland to NordForsk. The allocations of NOS-HS are subject to the availability of appropriate funds in the budget for NOS-HS.
Focus of the call
The primary objective of the call is to support the development of new researcher- and curiosity-driven research areas and programmes within the humanities and social sciences in the Nordic countries. The proposed series of workshops must have a strong focus on research and novel research areas and already established and ongoing activities will not be supported. If the network that applies for funding already exists, the proposal must contain novel elements, including breaking new ground and new participants. Funding is not intended to cover plain conferences or postgraduate training courses. There must be strong elements of active discussion and contribution of all participants.
The secondary objective of the call is to encourage the inclusion of junior scholars and actors from outside academia in Nordic social sciences and humanities networks. It is also considered an advantage in the evaluation if a series of workshops aims at preparing ambitious research proposals for Nordic or international research programmes. However, this should not be the only purpose of the workshop series.
Eligibility requirement for grant applications
You must check that you fulfil all the requirements below to be eligible to apply for the grant. Proposals that do not fulfil the eligibility requirements are rejected from further processing.
The project leader must be employed by the project owner during the grant period.
The project owner must be a Nordic university or research institute, a Nordic higher education institution, or some other Nordic public organisation. The project owner must commit to administrating the funding. The commitment from the project owner is verified by a letter of commitment, which is a requirement for eligibility.
The project leader must hold a PhD or professorship and is responsible for applying, using the funding, and reporting.
The proposal must include at least two partners in addition to the project leader. The co-applicants (project collaborators, principal workshop organisers or applicants with special responsibilities) must hold a PhD or professorship. Each proposal must have partners representing at least three institutions in at least three different Nordic countries. Nordic countries are defined here as Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Åland. The maximum number of co-applicants is five. The roles and responsibilities of all applicants should be described in the proposal.
The proposal and all appendices must be submitted in English.
Participants invited to the workshops or keynote speakers or other participants with a special role may come from other countries, but the emphasis should be on Nordic institutions.
Scientific review of applications and criteria
All proposals are assessed by review panels composed of prominent researchers. There are two general evaluation panels: one with a broad focus on social sciences, and another with a broad focus on humanities. While the NOS-HS secretariat is located at the NordForsk, the NOS-HS follows the conflict of interest policy of NordForsk. The panels will review proposals and prioritise them in their proposed decision to NOS-HS.
Reflecting on the call objectives, the following criteria are used in the review of proposals:
Nordic added value
Quality of explorative workshops
Outcomes of the workshops
Please note that NordForsk may make changes to the call text until six weeks before the deadline. Any such changes will be stated clearly. | <urn:uuid:27352f07-a7e0-46f3-99df-1063b2efebb0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.swedev.dev/tag/sustainability/ | 2023-10-04T18:54:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.931254 | 1,667 |

AIRPORT–Leisure Car Rental, located on Airport Boulevard in Simpson Bay, has won the Annual World Travel Awards’ “St. Maarten’s Leading Car Rental Award” for Dutch St. Maarten and the “St. Martin’s Leading Car Rental Award” for French St. Martin. The company was nominated for three awards and won two.
The 25th Annual World Travel Awards (WTA) Caribbean and North America Gala Ceremony was held at Sandals Montego Bay, Jamaica, on Saturday, September 22.
“We would like to sincerely thank every single person who contributed in one way or another towards the growth and success of Leisure Car Rental over the years. Special thanks to everyone who voted. And we are very grateful to everyone at the WTA for this prestigious award,” Leisure Director Jimmy H. Fitzpatrick said in a press release over the weekend.
World Travel Awards was established in 1993 to acknowledge, reward and celebrate excellence across all key sectors of the travel, tourism and hospitality industries. Today, the World Travel Awards brand is recognised globally as the ultimate hallmark of industry excellence.
Leisure Car Rental has received several awards over the years and Fitzpatrick said the company is “still the only award-winning rent-a-car company in St. Maarten.”
The company won the Auto Rental News Professional of the Year Award from American Express in 2013. The company also received the Award of Excellence for Outstanding Managerial Leadership, Strategy Development, Customer Orientation, and Strategy Implementation from Jeff Berger’s
www.everythingsxm.com in 2016, and 2017. “We were very pleased to have been recognised by the largest St. Maarten/St. Martin Travel website,” Fitzpatrick said.
It also won the Award for St. Maarten’s Leading Car Rental Agency at the World Travel Awards in 2017, which the company said “was an amazing win.”
Leisure Car Rental was established in St. Maarten in 2007 and has since expanded to Dominica with plans to expand to St. Kitts, Anguilla and the rest of the Caribbean, the release said. “They started small, but consistently grew over the years to become the number one car rental agency on The Friendly Island. Hence the slogan ‘The best place to rent a car in St. Maarten,”” the release said.
Leisure Car Rental serves the local and tourist markets and offers special discounts to government and the private sector. Additional information can be obtained from

Venezia F.C. Symbol
This page is about the meaning, origin and characteristic of the symbol, emblem, seal, sign, logo or flag: Venezia F.C. Symbol.

Much later, in 1987 when the club merged with a local side Associazione Calcio Mestre from Mestre who wore orange and black, orange would also become one of Venezia's official colours, giving them the nickname arancioneroverdi Venezia's colours and kit are very distinctive; the shirt, shorts and socks are usually black with the shirt having a green and orange trim.

Turkish Scrambled Eggs on Toasted Seeded Pita with Salsa Verde and Cilantro
Created by Natalie Seldon, @prettyediblestylist
Mix all the ingredients for the salsa verde together and set aside. This can be made up to a week ahead and stored in the fridge until ready to use
To cook, heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat
Add the garlic, green onion and green pepper, stir, and then add the paprika and oregano. Cook for 1 minute, and then add the tomatoes, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, or until the tomato has softened
Reduce heat to low, then push the tomato mixture to one side (away from direct heat if possible) Crack the eggs into the space left in the pan and use a wooden spoon to stir the yolks into the whites for about 20 seconds, or until starting to set

New paper published in Cell Reports
In our daily lives, stimuli are often predictive of negative or positive events that will occur some time later. We found that enhancing the activity of neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex enables rats to detect the relevant stimulus relationships across temporal intervals and identified a ramping increase of prefrontal theta and beta oscillations during the interval as a potential underlying mechanism. This work was conducted by Julien and Tag with helps from Huaying, Stephanie, and Nathan.

Regional Reviews: Albuquerque/Santa Fe
The Cradle Will Rock
The current production is directed by American theatre and film luminary Robert Benedetti. He has chosen to give the Santa Fe patrons the experience of attending the play as the original audience did that June night in 1937 when the WPA (Works Projects Administration) locked the company out of Maxine Elliott's Theatre on 39th Street in Manhattan. The staunchly pro-union play was deemed too socialist by right wing members of Congress who threatened the funding and the very existence of the Federal Theatre Project. Hot young director Orson Wells and his producer, John Houseman, cried censorship and declared that the show must go on, no matter what.
Audience members in Santa Fe waited outside the theatre just as the audience did 84 years ago in New York City at the first performance. Actors from the company entertained them with labor songs and Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land" until Wells and Houseman arrived to say they had found an alternative space for the performance. In 1937, the audience followed the company twenty-one blocks uptown to the Venice Theatre. In Santa Fe, the loading dock doors opened to admit everyone into the theatre.
As in the original production, the play begins with actors singing from seats in the house. They migrate to the stage as the play develops. Composer Marc Blitzstein played the piano on stage in the original production; no sets or costumes were available. The Actors Lab utilizes the theatre space without embellishment with a raised platform for the piano and long benches for set pieces. Both productions are sparse but the Santa Fe effort keeps the production values high. Costumes are simple streetwear of the 1930s and are spot-on for each character. Lighting is utilized well to bring focus within scenes.
The play of ten scenes with fifteen songs and two reprises is agitprop musical theatre/opera as political commentary. The characters are broadly drawn, corporate greed is lampooned, and the little guy, the average Joe, is the virtuous hero. At the height of the Depression, in hard times, this message was gaining traction. Perhaps this play speaks to contemporary audiences in the same way.
Eleven talented cast members take multiple roles. Most of the actors have moments to shine and the ensemble work is outstanding. They manage to play broadly drawn cardboard cut-outs and still bring poignant moments of human feeling to the stage. Brent Black as the hero and Kent Kirkpatrick as the villain are particularly strong, as are Danielle Louise Reddick and Jody Durham.
The 90-minute production without intermission is fast paced, thought provoking, and thoroughly enjoyable. Mr. Benedetti brings his vast experience in academic and professional theatre, and in Hollywood as a writer, director and actor, to this historical gem. Back in his Hollywood days he had a conversation with John Houseman about what actually happened that night in 1937. He and his company are to be congratulated on their impressive work. This is truly an immersive night at the theatre.
The Cradle Will Rock runs through September 19, 2021, at the New Mexico Actors Lab, 1213 Parkway Dr., Santa Fe NM. (In the former Adobe Rose Theater). Performances are Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., Sundays at 2:00 p.m. General Admission $25, Students $5. For tickets and information visit www.nmactorslab.com or call 505-395-6576.

Cast: Brent Black, Jody Durham, Danielle Louise Reddick, Kent Kirkpatrick, Aaron Leventman, Tyler Nunez, Don Converse, Talia Pura, Mickey Dolan, Ann Rylance and Robert Krupnick. | <urn:uuid:a9d28094-2178-4b80-9c1f-eb6ac34fe528> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.talkinbroadway.com/page/regional/alb/alb623.html | 2023-10-04T20:06:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.955456 | 784 |
Tallahassee skyline at sunset, a violin being played, a pallet of paint, an outdoor concert venue.
Here in the Capital City, like the magnificent oak trees that provide canopies to our roads and line our beautiful parks, our arts and culture has very strong roots. Welcome to our town. COCA, the Council on Culture & Arts, is a non-profit organization that serves as the facilitator and voice for the arts and cultural industry in Florida’s capital area. COCA provides information and promotes the arts and culture to both citizens and visitors.
COCA has been serving the area since 1985. More than thirty years ago, the community created COCA as their designated local arts agency. The capital area’s only umbrella agency for arts and culture, COCA works with and for those who produce, invest in, and experience the arts and culture in our area.
COCA is not a government entity, but works hand-in-hand with the city, county, state, and local school district as their cultural industry partner. The City and County contract with COCA to access their expertise and provide specific services that benefit the community at large.
COCA’s board of directors is not made up primarily of artists nor do they represent any one cultural institution. That’s because the Florida statute by which COCA was founded expressly prohibits members from representing any one arts faction. Instead, two practicing artists are members, and the remaining board members are outstanding private citizens with expertise in tourism, finance, business, economic development, marketing, and volunteering. The city and county commissions make appointments to the COCA Board from a list of three nominees sent to them by the COCA Board for consideration. These nominations have been vetted to fill the needs on the Board and assure that it is a broad representation of the community demographic.
COCA’s staff is where the professional arts expertise is found. This group of talented multi-taskers have titles that may not give you enough information about the many hats they wear. You will find, in addition to their titles, a list of things that they each handle. We hope it will help you know who to call to get the information you need.
COCA is proud of our cultural community, and we look forward to sharing all the ways that “The Arts Live Here!” | <urn:uuid:5ec79329-ef2a-490c-a821-ddee1eac0c86> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.tallahasseearts.org/about-coca/ | 2023-10-04T19:05:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.965943 | 501 |

Roots & Vision
Talon’s founder Glenn Foster carries on a family legacy established at a renowned Sonoma, CA winery, reliably producing wines that are outstanding whether enjoyed on their own or paired with a variety of cuisines. He then made wine in Colorado for 3 wineries over the course of 10 years before launching Talon Winery LLC in 2005.
Our mission is to be Colorado’s Premier Winery through Customer Focus, Integrity and Care. We share the JOY wine!” Translation: we make great wine and serve it to our customers with a warm sense of hospitality and a smile. We do everything we can to create an authentic, meaningful, enjoyable experience with whoever we touch.
“Our goal is to share the joy of wine by offering wine lovers hand-crafted wines of the highest quality at a reasonable price” – Glenn Foster
Our winemaking team is completely focused on creating authentically crafted wines that show great varietal character. For us, that means starting with the best grapes and produce available.
Our winemaking techniques are somewhat proprietary, but we can share a few insights. First, we ferment our white wines cold to retain as much of the fruity aromas and flavors as we can in the finished wine. This requires a chilling system and tanks with heat exchangers.
For our reds, we ferment at warmer temperatures to extract the deep, rich flavors we want from the skins before pressing.
Honey wines are the most difficult to ferment because of the anti-microbial properties of honey. Luckily we’ve cracked the code and can ferment a batch of honey with no trouble in about 12 days. This clean, fast fermentation results in a crisp, aromatic mead or honey wine.
There is great variability in our fruit wines. We use local fruit and produce whenever possible. Whether Apple, Peach, Rhubarb or Pomegranate, all our fruit and botanical wines are fermented in the same fashion as traditional grape wines, just without the grapes!

Last Updated on March 30, 2023 by James Ewen
Your mobile app has launched or is getting close to it. This is excellent news, but the work doesn’t end there. Teams must also find ways to grow the app’s visibility and get users. The key to growing a mobile app’s audience is through App Store Optimization (ASO). When putting together an ASO strategy, it’s critical that teams remember several key points, including:
- Using mobile data
- Understanding how the algorithms work
- Selecting relevant and high-volume keywords
- Developing appealing creatives
- Testing their app pages
- Launching paid campaigns
The Importance of Using Mobile Data
Mobile data is essential when putting together a solid ASO strategy. This is because there is only a 20% overlap between web and mobile keyword volume estimates. What this means is that using web data to guide an ASO campaign can sabotage it, leading to wasted resources and efforts.
Developers may be tempted to use free tools that look similar to Google keyword planners, but many of these use web keyword scores, which don’t translate well for discoverability in the app stores.
What Users Search For
Users search differently on the web than they do on the app stores. App store search is feature-driven, rather than research-based. For example, while a user might search for “How to edit a PDF?” on the web, they would instead search “PDF converter app” on the app stores.
When you prepare an ASO strategy, you’ll need mobile data from an ASO platform like DATACUBE. Otherwise, your data will not correctly reflect the terms users are searching for, misguiding your strategy.
With the right mobile data, you can target the proper terms that will help your app’s audience grow.
How Each Stores’ Algorithm Works
Mobile data is only a piece of the ASO puzzle. Understanding how the app store algorithms work is also necessary. This is because the Apple App Store and Google Play Store crawl metadata differently, requiring different approaches. One thing they do have in common is that they both look at an app’s click-through-rate (CTR) when determining rankings.
How the Stores Index Your App
On iOS, Apple’s algorithm will crawl your app based on keywords in the:
- Keyword Bank
Apple merchandises apps based on their targeted keywords when determining what phrases to index it for.
For Google Play, the algorithm looks at the:
- Short Description
- Long Description
There is no declared keyword bank on Google Play. Instead, Google Play’s algorithm examines the metadata fields from left to right, top to bottom and pulls keywords and phrases from there. The closer a keyword is to the front of a line or sentence, the easier it is for Google’s algorithm to pick it up.
Including keywords in prime areas will help with indexing on the Google Play. This will then increase your chances of reaching your audience who is searching for apps just like yours. This is what makes understanding stores useful to app growth.
Setting Up Your App’s Metadata
Once you have access to mobile data and have an understanding of how each app store works, you’ll then want to start researching the app’s space. When getting started, it’s essential to determine what keywords are high-volume and relevant. DATACUBE is an ASO platform that can help you research the keywords you want to target and decide if they’re aligned with your target market.
You’ll also want to research your competitors and see what keywords they rank well for, find related keywords you can target and see what performs best for other apps in your field.
The Metadata Fields
Apple provides users with the title and subtitle at 30 characters each, plus a keyword bank of 100 characters. It’s vital to use as much of that space as possible to have the maximised number of keywords.
Google Play has no keyword bank so that an app will rank for the keywords included in within its title, short description and long description. It’s essential to enter the keywords and phrases precisely as you want to target them, as the algorithm does not account for variations of keywords.
Make sure the title, subtitle and descriptions are readable and not keyword-stuffed as this could hurt conversion. If your app uses the right keywords correctly, you’ll have a higher chance at reaching and converting more users, ultimately growing your audience.
Designing Creative That is Optimized for Conversion
Click-through-rate is also crucial for improving an app’s keyword rankings as well as measuring conversion. Given that 70 per cent of installs come directly from search, an app’s search presentation should be appealing, helping encourage users to install it.
Screenshot Best Practices
An app’s screenshots should include call-to-actions that utilises high-volume keywords to inform users of the app’s features. The text should be concise and digestible, quickly getting to the core message while using popular keywords.
The screenshots should be up to date and optimised for the devices they’re viewed on including image upscaling if necessary. Outdated screenshots can look poor when viewed on devices with better image quality, turning potential users away and hurting conversion.[vc_row el_class=”newsletter-sign-up-box”][vc_column][vc_column_text]
The monthly tends in app development that matter.
A monthly newsletter helping developers and app makers be more productive, stay inspired and keep up with all the latest trends in the app world.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][contact-form-7 404 "Not Found"][/vc_column][/vc_row]
Apple allows up to ten screenshots, while Google Play allows up to eight. The app’s listing should utilise each of them to provide as much information about the app and its features as possible. The screenshots on iOS can also be used for Search Ads A/B Testing to determine which creative elements convert best. By launching two search Ads campaigns with different creative sets, you can compare the results to determine how well each set drove conversions and apply that information to the app’s live listing.
Preview videos are another way to help increase conversion. Apple and Google Play each allow videos, although the guidelines are different for each store.
Videos on the Apple App Store can:
- Only show in-app footage
- Must be between 15 to 30 seconds long.
The Google Play Store’s videos can:
- Link directly to YouTube
- Run any length, but should be between 30 seconds and 2 minutes long
- Show content from outside the app
A/B testing is important for determining how effective creatives and metadata are. ASO is an iterative process, and to continue growing, it’s critical to understand that what worked a year ago, may not work today. A/B testing can help your team find what’s working now, helping it stay relevant and grow.
Splitcube is an app A/B testing that emulates the app stores, allowing teams to test creative and keywords. Splitcube can also heat-map user behaviour, tracking how users search and which apps, and elements, they are most likely to click on. As your creatives are important for converting users, testing them before deployment helps ensure the ones you use will help grow your mobile audience best.
Reaching as many users as possible is key to increasing your audience. Paid marketing campaigns help a wider audience see your app through advertisements and paid placement in the search results.
Paid campaigns can include:
- Search Ads
- Google Ads
- Social media marketing
To improve your audience within the App Store, Search Ads is essential.
Utilising a paid campaign like Search Ads will place your app at the top of certain search results. You can select the keywords and demographics you’re targeting to help your app reach the audience you want to see it. Targeted advertisements can help put your app front and centre before users who are most likely to be interested, which can be made even more effective with the use of creative sets.
The first three apps in search results receive about 41% of the clicks from those searches, making them valuable spots to be placed in. With paid campaigns, your app can appear in that top spot, which can help increase the number of users that view your app and convert. Search Ads boasted a 50% conversion rate and average CPI of $1 in 2017, making it an affordable and efficient form of paid marketing.
Paid marketing campaigns also help improve your organic indexation. Running campaigns such as Search Ads can increase your click-through-rate, which will help improve your app’s rankings within the store to reach and convert even more users.
App Store Optimization makes it possible to grow an app’s audience continually. This involves:
- Using mobile data
- Understanding how each stores’ algorithm works
- Researching metadata
- Designing optimised creatives
- A/B testing
- Utilising paid campaigns
By taking this approach, teams can help their app consistently grow and thrive.
This is of course only the tip of the iceberg for App Store Optimization. ASO is an iterative process, one that requires consistent upkeep and revisions to keep up with changing consumer trends and developments.
To continually expand a mobile app’s audience, one must revisit their ASO strategy on an ongoing basis. By continuing to iterate while using best practices, teams can ensure they are providing the best outcome for their app’s growth.

After a relaxing weekend, some serious motivational podcast listening, taking some time to be alone and create content for my blog I started thinking about fear and what a hold fear has over us.
In the podcasts I listen to I often hear the question ‘’what would you do if you weren’t afraid?’’ and I started asking myself this question. What would I do if I didn’t feel fear? and it got me thinking. Fear can really hold us back. Yes, fear is a necessary part of life and we do need fear. Fear keeps us alive. It prevents us from putting ourselves in dangerous situations but fear also keeps up from living our best lives, taking calculated risks and moving forward. Fear likes what it knows and it wants to stick to what it knows but like I have said in numerous other blog posts, fear holds us back just like comfort zones hold us back and we all know that nothing good ever comes from a comfort zone. Fear and comfort zones keep us in one place and that’s where we stay.
Just think about it. If we weren’t afraid the possibilities for our lives would be endless but we do feel fear and that’s ok but we need to make sure we aren’t letting fear run our lives, make our decisions and define our future.
I want you to really start thinking about your future, where you see yourself and where you want to be. Is fear holding you back from getting to that place? Does fear run through your mind every time you think about taking a step towards where you want to be? Do you fear what everyone else is going to say or if they will even agree with what you have to say? We are always going to have people that won’t agree with what you are doing or what you are saying. That’s fine but the fear of people not liking or agreeing with that can’t keep you from moving towards the direction you feel is best for you.
When you are about too step out and you start feeling that fear I want you to embrace it, feel it, acknowledge it and then do it anyway. Take that step, give your opinion and don’t be afraid. You were put on this earth to have a say, to live a life you are completely obsessed with, create something for yourself that you love and make your mark. Fear is always going to be there. Rather than hide from it and avoid it, embrace it and grow from it | <urn:uuid:026b5937-1794-4549-8e0b-2f6e74f74958> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.tarrynchristy.com/life-blog/what-would-you-do-if-you-didnt-feel-fear/ | 2023-10-04T19:04:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.971735 | 514 |

“Astute investment is increasingly important – but that in no way means that money can’t be spent where it’s needed”
Investing in ICT (or anything else, for that matter) for the education market can seem rather like the croquet game in Alice in Wonderland. If you remember, the balls were live hedgehogs and the mallets were flamingos. The playing-card soldiers had to double themselves up and stand on their hands and feet to make the arches. Everybody played the game with enthusiasm, but there were no rules; the flamingos flew away and the hedgehogs hid. The role of the playing cards was literally to ‘move the goalposts’ at any opportunity. It is not surprising, then, that Alice ended up thoroughly confused! Similarly, changes in budget structure have caused uncertainty in many schools over recent years. Astute investment is increasingly important – but that in no way means that money can’t be spent where it’s needed, with current relevant software often a vital resource and therefore something to prioritise.
There are four simple steps the British Educational Suppliers Association recommends that schools should take to ensure wise investment in this area:
1. The first thing to consider is whether you already have a licence for software that will support your school’s learning needs. The days of Curriculum Online and its eLearning credits resulted in many establishments possibly having more eLearning resources than they needed. Licensed software resources that no one in the school remembers purchasing are commonly found in cupboards in various classes and storerooms – a stock take is therefore an advisable annual activity that also helps avoid the risk of breaking licensing laws.
2. Think about establishing purchasing partnerships with other schools in your area. If a few other schools are looking for the same software, significant discounts can be achieved.
3. Depending on the urgency of your requirement we always recommend attending shows such as Bett (30 January – 2 February 2013, London ExCel) and the Education Show (14 – 16 March 2013, NEC, Birmingham) where a number of software packages can be reviewed in one day. Staff from the suppliers will be on stand to answer your questions and negotiate any discounts so that you leave knowing you have fully assessed all the options.
4. Don’t dodge the small print! The terms of the licence, level of support and the quality of the warranty are three important considerations to be made before purchase. If the software is accessed through online registration, how many users can have access to it at any one time? Annual licences hopefully offer the advantage of getting regular updates but schools will have to budget for a regular annual payment. What are the terms of this licence? Avoid being tied into a two or three year contract. And of course if the software stops working, will the supplier offer you new CDs, or a new login? Will they visit your school to fix the problem or doesn’t the warranty cover such support?
It is BESA’s belief that we all need rules to play the game, and it is a part of our mission to provide them. If we can avoid the confusion in procurement (and the hedgehogs!), then it will be to the benefit of all – supplier, purchaser and most importantly, the end users: your students.
All BESA’s members must adhere to a code of practice that means their products must be of high quality, fit for purpose and with good support services. It is always worth having a quick search on BESA’s website to ensure the company you are considering buying from is a member (besa.org.uk).
Keeping on top when it comes to educational software provision, effective management is just as important as canny investment, explains seann gardiner…
Schools are always looking for ways to save money – but at the same time boost the performance of pupils by using modern teaching tools such as computer applications and programs to enhance the classroom experience. However, the addition of these applications can make it a challenge for those who are tasked with keeping schools’ IT systems secure and running smoothly. There are three best practices to consider:
First, schools must prevent the installation of unlicensed programs onto their computers. It’s a good idea to have a whitelist of applications that can be installed; this prevents teachers and pupils installing unapproved software on school machines. Managing this properly means reduced costs in the long run.
As Caroline Wright points out on the previous page, every school should know what software licenses it has, and how these are being used. A software inventory should be carried out regularly as this can help the IT department identify any unused licenses, so that software that is not needed can be eliminated or transferred. Rarely used software can also be evaluated to see if more value could be gained from it. Automating software license reporting saves time, and means you are always prepared for an audit.
Finally, it’s important to keep approved software up to date, patched and secure. Implementing automated patching and software management processes can make this vastly easier. Effective software management, that includes support for mobile devices too, can free up resources to concentrate on fulfilling other strategic IT goals. Whether it be tracking software usage and its distribution, or getting visibility of all software installed on the network, automating software compliance saves schools time and money. A more centralised, automated approach assists with enforcing license compliance and strips out inefficiencies, thereby helping educational establishments to operate more effectively.

A smartphone is a mobile phone with a considerably greater amount of functionality than an ordinary mobile phone or a feature phone. Smartphones can be considered a blend between a mobile phone and a full featured mobile computer, similar to the PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) of the past, but even more capable.
They typically include a complete operating system, the ability to add or remove applications at will, significant amount of data storage, mobile and Wi-Fi internet connectivity, a multitouch capable touch screen, GPS navigation, and of course, standard mobile phone functions such as making phone calls and texting.
Smartphones vs. Feature Phones vs. Basic Mobile Phones
The difference between smartphones and feature phones is somewhat vague because feature phones also include some features usually ascribed to smartphones. They reside somewhere in the middle between smartphones and simple mobile phones. We can therefore classify them like this:
- Smartphones: all or almost all of the features of a mobile computing device that are possible at the time.
- Feature phones: some of the features included, others left out to reduce cost and appeal to those who don’t need all of the smartphone features.
- Basic mobile phones: primarily meant to just enable phone calls, texting, MMS and other features considered basic for any mobile phone.
Popular examples of smartphones include Apple’s iPhone, Samsung’s Galaxy S series, Motorola Droids, Nokia Lumia, and so on. Popular mobile operating systems running on smartphones include Apple’s iOS, Google’s Android, Microsoft’s Windows Phone, RIM’s Blackberry OS, and Nokia’s Symbian OS (although their Lumia series runs on Windows Phone).
Uses of a Smartphone
What really makes smartphones useful are all the applications (or “apps”) it can run, and the ability for the user to choose at will which to run. This flexibility combined with the sheer amount of functionality available from these apps is what makes smartphones appealing.
Smartphones will then be most useful to those who need a full featured mobile computing device that you can count on for almost any mobile computing need you might have. If you are sure you only need a few specific features then perhaps a feature phone with only those select features might be a better, and cheaper, choice.
Features provided by smartphone apps are truly many. The following is just a cross section of what a smartphone can be used for: managing email, browsing the web, listening to music, watching movies, recording movies, taking and managing photos, instant messaging, social networking, taking notes, scanning documents, and even some exotic functionalities such as measuring your heart rate.
Being essentially full featured mobile computers, and increasingly always connected to the internet, smartphones can also be susceptible to malware such as viruses and spyware. One of the ways an infection might occur is by installing a bad app from the app store. Unofficial third-party app stores carry a greater risk in this respect.
Anti-Virus and anti-malware apps are, however, available, and could ensure greater security of your smartphone when kept running and up to date. | <urn:uuid:8abf9382-1e90-4983-86bd-99ee08278a25> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.tech-faq.com/smartphone.html | 2023-10-04T21:12:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.923999 | 650 |

AI researchers at the Chinese tech giant Tencent have posted details of two programs capable of beating the “cheating” AI found in the popular video game Starcraft.
The AI programs, called TStarBot1 and TStarBot2, were able to defeat the AI built into Starcraft, which has a superhuman view of the entire game. The programs use quite different approaches to achieve the same ends. The first employs advanced machine learning, while the second follows carefully crafted rules. Neither is sophisticated enough to defeat an expert human player, however.
Ready player none: Starcraft is an important new challenge for AI researchers, for two reasons. First, it’s a complex and sprawling game. Second, it involves a deferred reward—it’s difficult for a program to know if it’s doing well until relatively late in the game, so simple trial-and-error learning doesn’t work well.
London v. Shenzhen: The Alphabet subsidiary DeepMind, famous for developing AlphaGo, a program that mastered Go using reinforcement learning, is working on its own Starcraft AI programs. But it has yet to announce something quite as capable as Tencent’s programs.
Copycat no more: Rumor has it that Tencent has a lab dedicated to replicating DeepMind’s achievements. Yet Tencent, which operates China’s dominant mobile social app, WeChat, has been investing heavily in AI research. And it would seem that the company’s researchers are now making strides of their own.

It is always frustrating when we lost all our chat & media history when accidentally uninstalling Whatsapp or system reset. But do you know that we can recover all the chats and media files again if we do some simple setting beforehand. Here is how we can do this…
You can back up your chats and media to Google Drive, so if you change Android phones or get a new one, your chats and media are transferrable.
To back up to Google Drive:
Step 1: Open WhatsApp. Tap More options > Settings > Chats > Chat backup
- How to enable dark mode in chrome
- Recover permanently deleted files in windows
- Watch Bollywood movies online
- How to delete an Instagram account
Step 3: If you don’t have a Google account already set up, tap Add an account when prompted.
Step 4: Tap Back up over to choose the network you want to use for backup. Please note that backing up over a cellular data network might result in additional data charges.
Step 5: You can change your chat backup frequency, the Google account you back up to and which connection to use for backup at any time by tapping More options > Settings > Chats > Chat backup.
Step 6: Every time you create a Google Drive backup using the same Google account, the previous Google Drive backup will be overwritten. There’s no way to restore an older Google Drive backup.
So the WhatsApp backup is best practice and must frequently backup for unexpected situations.

These programs have become ubiquitous with Android, and if you’re looking for the good stuff, it’s assumed that you’ve got some of the stuff already. There are a ton of amazing best free Android Apps out there. However, their usefulness is usually restricted to the habits of the people using them. These best Android apps shouldn’t have those problems. Everybody can use these. Without further delay, here are the best free Android apps currently available! Most folks should be relatively familiar with most of them, and since they are the best, this list won’t frequently change unless something truly spectacular comes along.
We would also like to give an honorable mention to Bouncer (Google Play link). It is a permission management system that automatically revokes permissions. The Latest best Android apps versions have this functionality Built-in today, so Bouncer is slowly becoming unnecessary. A version of Android below ten should definitely look into it.
Top 15 Best Free Android App
Cost: Free / $1.99
1Weather is arguably the best weather program out there. It features a simple, paginated design that shows you the current weather, the forecast for up to 12 weeks, a radar, and other fun stats. Along with that, you will get a fairly good set of gently customizable widgets and the standard stuff like severe weather notifications and a radar so that you can see the storms approaching. Perhaps its best attribute is its minimal design, which just shows you that the weather and little else. The free version has all the features with advertising. The $1.99 charge removes advertising. Otherwise, both versions work the same way. Most will also likely enjoy the range of fun weather facts also once you open the program. We have a list of the best weather apps if you want more options.
Cost: Free / $1.99-$299.99 per month

Google Maps and Waze
Google Maps virtually owns the navigation best apps scene, and it remains of the Best Android apps. It gets frequent, almost weekly upgrades that Seem to only add to its incredibly generous collection of existing features. Interest, traffic info, directions to things like rest stops or gas Channels, and they even allow you to have offline maps now (albeit temporarily). If you add to that the Waze experience, which includes Tons of its own features, and you won’t need another navigation app. Ever. Google also owns and operates Waze. It’s unique and fun in ways That Google Maps is not, and we also highly recommend it. Naturally, we Have more GPS apps options also here if you need them.

Additionally, the premium version is cheap. You can even grab LastPass Authenticator to go along with it for additional security. There are other possibilities for great password supervisors here if you want more options. However, we like LastPass a bit more friendly and secure (usually), particularly with its additional authenticator app.
Microsoft SwiftKey Keyboard is among the most effective and customizable third-party keyboards out there. It hit the market many years ago with a predictive engine unlike anything any other keyboard had, and the app has grown a lot of over the years. It is a free download, and you can buy themes for it if you want to. Other features include a dedicated number row, SwiftKey Flow, which allows for gesture typing, multiple language support, cross-device syncing of your library, and much more. It is about as good as it gets in the keyboard area. It’s true that Microsoft currently owns SwiftKey, but so far, they’ve managed not to mess it up. Gboard, Google’s computer screen program, is also exceptionally good and could easily take SwiftKey’s place on this list. There are some other great Android keyboards here also.
Cost: Free / $4.99
Initially, we weren’t going to put any launchers on this list. Nova Launcher appears to be stretch beyond what normal launchers are. It’s been around for years, it has always been updated, and thus it has not been a great alternative for a launcher replacement. It comes with a host of features, including the ability to backup and restores your home screen set ups, icon theming for each your Android apps, tons of customization components for the home screen and app drawer, and much more. You can even make it look like the Pixel Launcher if you want to. If you go premium, you can tack on gesture controls, unread count badges for apps, and icon swipe actions.

Needless to say, we’ve got a list of the best Android launchers with even more options as well.

Podcast Addict is a fantastic podcast app for podcast fans. It features almost every podcast you can consider. Additionally, it has a very simple and powerful UI, plenty of organizational features, lots of download and playback features, and a single-cost superior version. You can browse podcasts by category or search for them individually. You may also set download rules, create playlists easily. Also, it supports both Chromecast and SONOS, along with Android Auto and Wear OS. The UI is not the most elegant thing we have seen. However, the app makes up for it by hitting every other box we could think of. Pocket Casts, Doggcatcher, and CastBox are other excellent choices in this space, and we’ve got a list of even more great podcast apps here.
Poweramp Music Player
Cost: Free trial / $4.99
Poweramp is among the most popular and most functional local music players on Android. It’s essentially all of the features, including Hi-res audio assistance, Android Auto, an equalizer, gapless smoothing, and Support for almost any audio codec you can find. It even supports The UI has a little bit of a learning curve, but it’s among the better-Looking music players as well with discretionary themes from the Google Play Store. There are other great music apps here, but the best is arguably Poweramp’s title to lose.
Pulse SMS or Android Messages
Cost: Free / $10.99 after / $0.99 per month
There are tons of terrific SMS apps. They’re Pulse SMS and Android Messages. Android Messages is a bit more basic, but it’s easy, and it gets the job done. Both these apps also provide SMS messaging from your own desktop. Pulse charges a monthly subscription or a single $10.99 fee while Android Messages are free of charge. Pulse SMS uses a host arrangement while Android Messages live streams your messages. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, but they are both still excellent alternatives to get your texts everywhere. Textra is another wonderful alternative if you don’t require desktop texting, and you may find more amazing SMS apps here. Pulse SMS also went open source in ancient 2020.

It looks great, it is incredibly Stable, and it only works well. There is a 14-day free trial using a $2.99 price tag at the end of it. This is, by far, the best file manager On Android for most people. When it does not work for you, here are some other outstanding file browsers.
Tasker and IFTTT
Cost: $2.99 and Free, respectively
Tasker is a glorious application if you have the patience to learn how to use the app. What it does is allow users to make custom made commands and use them in a variety of places. There are a number of apps out there that have Tasker support, and you can also use Tasker to make quite complex commands for NFC tags. It’s difficult to really explain what this app can do because it can do so many things. Between the apps supported, plugins you an add, and the sheer volume of stuff which you can do, there are not many apps out there as useful as this one. IFTTT is another excellent automation app. In some cases, it may even be better than Tasker thanks to its simplicity and a broad range of uses. Tasker is also available free as a part of the Google Play Pass. There are some other great Android tools and utility apps, but none of them can step up to Tasker and IFTTT.
Cost: Free / $27.99 Each Year
TickTick is not as popular as other to-do record apps. However, it can be the best one. It covers the basics like recurring tasks, reminders, pushes notifications, various organizational features, and categories. The app also lets you share jobs and whole categories with other men and women. This makes it great for family use, small teams at work, or other similar groups. It’s also perfect for stuff like grocery lists, honey-do lists, or any other list. You get all of the features for free, albeit at a somewhat limited capacity, such as two reminders per task (superior makes that boundless ). It’s also a wonderful alternative to Wunderlist. Some other excellent options in the space include Todoist and Microsoft To perform.
YouTube and YouTube Music
Cost: Free / $12.99+
We don’t typically recommend streaming services to people. Own preferences, and there are loads of great options out there. However, we really enjoy the combination of YouTube Music and YouTube. For one price, you get unlimited music from YouTube Music with over Enough paths to compete with Spotify and Apple Music. However, you Also get ad-free YouTube along with desktop offline and play download. That one-two punch is right up there with the Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+ bundle for $12.99 a month As one of the greatest prices for audio and video streaming. In fact, the Two combined should cover all of your video and audio streaming needs essentially. On YouTube Music. Audiophiles may want to check out Hi-Fi options like Tidal or Deezer, even if these services come at a premium or among those audio streaming apps as well.
Cost: Free / $0.99 per month / $4.99 Annually
Last, but certainly not least on our list is Zedge. This is wallpapers, calendars, telling tones, and alarm tones program, which gives you an incredible number of options to customize the most basic pieces of your device. On top of having an exhaustive selection of things, Zedge also promotes various items during holiday seasons, which makes it easy to theme your phone up for Christmas, Halloween, and other holidays. It’s not 100% perfect. It does have the occasional bug and some truly irritating advertisements. Zedge Premium is a new initiative to provide premium content at a fair price. You see ads or fill out surveys to make Zedge credits as well. There are additional great ringtone apps and great wallpaper apps. But, Zedge is the only one that faithfully does both. | <urn:uuid:22705cae-0598-4516-847b-e5757dc511e7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.techwriter.org/best-free-android-apps/ | 2023-10-04T20:14:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.940019 | 2,830 |
The Yemen peace talks took place on the deck of a UN-chartered ship anchored in the Red Sea Sunday.
Pope Francis is urging the international community to support the Yemen ceasefire accord for the welfare of the children and those in need of resources, the pontiff said Sunday from Abu Dhabi.
“The people are exhausted by the long conflict and many children are hungry, but humanitarian aid isn’t accessible. The cry of these children and their parents rises before God,” the pope said during a historic first visit to the Arabian Peninsula.
“I appeal to the interested parties and to the international community to urgently encourage compliance with the agreements reached, to ensure the distribution of food and to work for the good of the population,” he said.
The Yemen peace talks brought representatives from opposing sides to the neutral environment of a UN-chartered ship anchored in the Red Sea Sunday.
The United Nations is overseeing the implementation of a ceasefire and troop withdrawal accord in Hodeidah, the main entry point for most of Yemen’s imports, in the hope it will lead to a political solution to the almost four-year war.
The warring parties were meant to withdraw their forces by Jan. 7 as part of efforts to avert a full-scale assault on Hodeidah, but have failed to do so as the Iranian-aligned Houthi group and the Saudi-backed government disagrees on who should control the city and ports.
Sunday’s meeting was the third time the U.N.-led Redeployment Coordination Committee (RCC) convened since it was formed in December, bringing together the Houthis with the Saudi-backed, internationally recognized Yemeni government and U.N. mediators.
According to statements, despite some delays, the U.N. is optimistic that progress can be made and peace achieved, provided that international powers such as the U.S. and Saudi military do not interfere with the peace process. | <urn:uuid:4534c590-38d4-4c0f-b735-627c0b447b7f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.telesurenglish.net/news/Pope-Urges-Global-Powers-to-Support-Yemen-Ceasefire-Peace-20190203-0021.html | 2023-10-04T20:58:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.967144 | 406 |

Did markets start to revive?
Did the markets start to revive? Do not you also notice dynamism at the markets? Recently we have been frequently hearing narratives that business activities are rallying. If you wonder what is going on, please keep reading.
As far as we are concerned, there is no recovery in any market. Rather, business owners that are bored as they do not make any sales become willing to take higher risks. So, what happens? The post-dated checks that were declined a few months ago to be cautious start to step in again. Commodity sales on credit start to take place. Those that do not know what to do with the commodities in inventories start saying "Will I keep these for good? I would rather dispose of the inventory first and hope that I will get paid in time." They do not exactly act rationally. In such an environment, they take higher risks. Day by day Turkish economy becomes a more interesting research laboratory for those studying on behavioral economics. Maybe this is also what goes on in the world; but we can observe the course of events more closely in Turkey.
Okay, but why the business owners act like this? Why do they become ready to take more risks? To answer this, the situation the corporate sector is faced with must me well acknowledged. We propose a three-step answer. First, a number of companies in manufacturing sector was caught in the crisis with raw material and finished goods inventories. Raw material prices have decreased unprecedentedly from the emergence of the crisis to present. For instance, iron-steel and cotton prices move around very low levels. What does this mean? Cost of production with high-price raw materials is higher than the current sale price of the finished good. Each sale of good produced with high-priced raw materials implies a loss for the company. As a result of this, companies in various sectors have lost their working capital. This is the first point.
The second point is: Due to the lack of confidence rising among the corporate sector, companies stopped making transactions based on post-dated checks. No one is sure what his counterpart will face in the future and whether or not he will abide by his debt. That as a principle, banks stopped extending loans in exchange for post-dated checks shut down the channel for transactions on credit. Commercial activities based on post-dated checks are highly important for the Turkish economy. Due to the blockage of this channel, domestic demand instantly came to a halt. The actor to open the channel is the banking sector. Their perturbation can be understood, however the banking sector knows better than any of us that in an economy where the corporate sector is in bad condition, banks extending loans to the corporate sector can never be in good condition (here, some banks that are not interested in extending loans to the corporate sector; that have forgotten of such a phenomenon years ago and who are frequently discussed recently are out of subject. They are in another league. And that league is not related with the corporate sector.). This is the second point to be stated concerning the corporate sector.
The third point is: A number of companies that have suspended production still have finished goods inventories because of the tightening of domestic and foreign demand. What does a business owner that cannot see the end of the tunnel and that is not proposed a way-out strategy and a horizon by the government do? What does that business owner do if it is also given that more than six months has passed and no measures to tackle the crisis has been introduced, that though the elections has passed a simple IMF agreement has not yet been signed?
In our determination, there are two options he can follow: He either will keep the finished goods inventory until a period where prices will start to go up again, or dispose of the inventory even it incurs a loss in exchange. The former means maintaining the finished goods inventory as an investment tool. The latter means shifting the investment portfolio even in incurs a loss in exchange. Now, which option would you follow if you were owner of a business? If you believe that the market will not recover in the short term, do not you convert the finished goods inventory into cash as soon as possible and shift to another investment tool? For instance, do not you shift your to government debt securities which ensure higher gains day by day thanks to the interest rate cuts by the Central Bank or to foreign exchange the value of which does not change much? In our determination, this is what is beginning to happen. Some business owners are trying to convert the finished goods inventories into cash as soon as possible. When doing this, they are taking risks and start accepting post-dated checks again. And obviously, this situation will lead to a slight recovery. Short-term tax cuts introduced by the government in certain sectors might also have led to a temporary recovery.
Is this recovery sustainable? In our determination, it is not under its current features for three reasons: First, the source of the recovery is not hope but hopelessness about the future. It is an instant portfolio changing operation. Business owners try to shift from a portfolio composed of finished goods, which is hard to be converted into cash, to a portfolio composed of financial assets. Second, working capital losses of the corporate sector is not compensated for. When compared to the time the crisis emerged, Turkish economy has a lower level of working capital stock. Production level does not increase to the older levels unless the working capital stock is exchanged. In that case employment losses cannot be compensated for as well. Third, there is no way-out strategy; even a medium term one. This recovery is a flash in the pan; it will end as it started.
Then, is Turkey hopeless? No. However, there are steps to take and measures to implement. It is possible to control the rising hopelessness.
What was the equation? Either we would control the crisis or the crisis would control us. Currently, the crisis goes on controlling us. It is kindly submitted to the information of those who want to learn about the present state of affairs.

Getting into the University of Texas at Austin just got even harder.
Texas students who apply to UT-Austin for the fall 2017 semester will need to be in the top 7 percent of their high school class to gain automatic admission. That's a little tougher than the threshold for students entering in 2016, who only need to be in the top 8 percent.
UT-Austin President Greg Fenves notified key lawmakers and the Texas Education Agency of the change this month. The news was shared with school administrators Tuesday.
The automatic admissions route for Texas students has been available since 1996, when lawmakers passed what is known as the top 10 percent rule. The rule aims to increase diversity at Texas universities: High schools are largely segregated, so providing automatic admission for the top of each class gives more opportunities to minority students, supporters of the rule say.
The rule is deeply unpopular in suburban areas, where competition is stiffer to be among the top high school graduates, and some who would otherwise be qualified to get into UT-Austin are crowded out.
UT-Austin is the only school in the state with a partial exemption to the rule, since so many students began applying under the rule that it threatened to take away all of the school's admissions leeway. In 2009, the Legislature capped automatic admits at 75 percent of the incoming class, with the rest of the freshmen admitted through a holistic process.
The cutoff for each year — whether it's 10 percent or 7 percent — is calculated based on the prior year's applicant pool.

A zipper is a device of clothing that is used to bind two fabric parts together, an important part of a cloth or bag. A zipper is used in a product of the apparel industry as an important trims though it is a very small part in size and functionally zipper is a very much critical part of the cloth. There are many different types of zippers found in the apparel industry., here is a discussion about 12 different types of zippers, these 12 will cover almost all types of zippers used in the apparel industry.
12 Different Types of Zippers you should know them
There are various types of zippers that are used in the Apparel industry are mentioned below:
- Concealed zipper
- Continuous zipper
- Coil zipper
- Molded Plastic zipper
- Metal zipper
- Waterproof zipper
- Exposed zipper
- Separable zipper
- Non-separable zipper
- Two-way zipper
- Fly zipper
- Lapped zipper
The concealed zipper is an invisible zipper where the teeth component is not visible from the inside or top side. It doesn’t cover the design of the garments. So it is a suitable zipper for different ladies dresses frocks and skirts.
It is a widely used zipper in garments around the world. These are used for long coats or dresses. But especially used for large suitcases. The Zipper is spooling continuously without pulling the slider, which is called a continuous zipper.
A coil zipper is also known as a nylon coil zipper. It is a type of zipper whose components are made from coiled monofilament which is traditionally nylon. The coil is sewn on zipper tape to create the final product. The nylon zipper is very soft in hand feel and is used in formal dresses, jackets, and bags.
Molded Plastic zipper
Molded plastic jacket zippers are lightweight and are flexible, matching the color of teeth, tape, and slider. Plastic zippers are perfect for outdoor, sports, and casual wear. Molded plastic zippers are available in different tooth sizes and lengths. This is a plastic zipper made through plastic injection molding, which is why called molded injection zipper.
Metal zipper is the oldest type of functional zipper. Metal zippers are mainly made of brass, nickel, and aluminum and due to their durability, they are mostly used in jeans, denim pants, denim jackets, workwear, heavy luggage, and heavy-duty clothing.
Waterproof zippers are made of nylon which maintains a high-density element to protect the water. These zippers are usually used to protect garment products from rainwater. We see the use of these in the case of raincoats, rain jackets, waterproof bags, tents, etc.
Exposed zippers are zippers that sit right on top of dresses and they can also highlight a casual outfit.
Separate zippers are zippers with two completely separate units of stringer that have a bottom assembly to attach to each other and they can work as a single unit.
The bottoms of these zippers are closed with a stopper so that they do not become detached. It is used in clothing, pants, pillows, seat cushions, skirts, etc.
These types of zippers can be closed or opened in two opposite directions at the same time. It is also called a double or dual zipper. These can be made of metal, plastic, or nylon.
Zipper fly is more commonly used in ready-to-wear clothing. It is mostly used in the case of pants. The area of pants used for the zipper is fly, that is why this is called a fly zipper.
The zipper is covered with fabric by the clever use of sewing in a certain way so that the zipper does not visible from the outside.
We have covered all 12 types of zippers used in the garment manufacturing process.

Grilled sardines are simple and simply Thai. Dishes like curries and noodles are influenced by foreign cuisines; grilled fish is core and basic. We live along canals, rivers and oceans. Fish is caught and turned into meals for today or dried and preserved for days to come.
The role of fish is so traditional that when Thais receive guests at home, we always ask the guest if they have eaten by asking if you, "Gin kow, gin pla?" or "did you eat rice and eat fish?".
I made grilled fish when we got the fresh sardines and preserved the rest in the form of fish sauce. The grilled sardines can be served with chili fish sauce (nampla prig) or chili sauce and fresh vegetables. | <urn:uuid:0168aeaa-d226-4816-b4c8-af00d4a0d536> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.thaitable.com/thai/recipe/grilled-sardines | 2023-10-04T20:08:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.963869 | 162 |
Green Card Lottery DV-2025
Deadline ends in:
We’ve announced the winners of our high school scholarships in the USA! Meet the German students Emilia, Marlene, and Nils, and learn what they’re looking forward to during their high school year!
Take the chance of living in the USA and apply for the official US Green Card Lottery!
Emilia loves the USA, particularly for its famous American sense of community. In her hometown of Hanover, Germany, she already has her hands full of volunteer positions and extracurricular activities. Emilia is determined to continue this commitment at her American high school.
Emilia tested her "suitability" for exchange programs with a short language trip to England at first. Since this cultural experience was a huge success and led to many friendships, she now wants to take the leap across the pond and spend a high school year in the USA with our The American Dream scholarship.
Nils has been dreaming of a high school year for a long time because, for him, the United States is the most diverse and exciting country in the world. He deserves his scholarship not only because of his fantastic video application starring friends and relatives but also because of his incredible voluntary commitment, e.g., at the Red Cross and the animal shelter in his hometown of Cuxhaven, Germany.
The 15-year-old is looking forward to exciting new subjects in high school and hopes to be part of an American football team. Nils is also really excited about his new host parents and siblings, who will hopefully become his second family.
Marlene was inspired by her big sister to apply for the The American Dream Scholarship. The 15-year-old wants to see as much of the world as possible and is particularly curious to see whether American culture is actually like we know it from movies and books.
She also wants to fact-check the good old "American Dream," according to which anyone can truly fulfill their dreams in the USA. Marlene is excited about high school, the sports teams, and extracurricular activities. And, of course, she will try out cheerleading!
The American Dream Scholarships, established in 2021, were created to provide dedicated and imaginative students with the opportunity to attend an American high school year, regardless of their family's financial circumstances.
The USA experts from The American Dream have pledged to support the initiative with an annual contribution of 15,000 € while the non-profit organization Partnership International e.V. is responsible for implementing the scholarship program.
After the call for applications, students between the ages of 15 and 17 may prove themselves in four selection rounds which include a freely choosable creative contribution. Our criteria for eligibility include a passion for the United States, a demonstrated commitment to volunteerism, and an affinity for digital storytelling.
Marlene, Nils, and Emilia will start their adventure to the land of their dreams in the summer of 2023. They will document their experiences through personal USA blogs, allowing us to follow their journey.
Like our winners, many young people would love to spend a year abroad in the USA. So here’s good news for all USA fans: the next round of The American Dream Scholarships will start in May 2023! We will keep you up to date in our news section as well as our The American Dream Newsletter! | <urn:uuid:746e28c8-b5c1-42e7-a9f1-480632f61090> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.the-american-dream.com/usa-scholarship-winners-2023-2024/ | 2023-10-04T19:05:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.973001 | 694 |

Freedom of expression is probably probably the most preciously shielded of particular person liberties, and the Courtroom has famous that it should receive “scrupulous safety” in faculties “if we aren’t to strangle the free thoughts at its source and train youth to discount essential principles of our authorities as mere platitudes” (West Virginia Board of Training v.

10th to 25th August 2017
1st to 2nd Sept 2017
“Pageant is a fabulous musical comedy about the world of beauty pageants – where six hopeful contestants battle to win the coveted title of ‘Miss Glamouresse’. But this is no ordinary pageant: all of the ‘girls’ are played by men. With catchy songs, outrageous costumes and hilarious dialogue, the contestants compete in rounds including talent, spokesperson, ball gowns and swimsuits. Finally, their fate rests with a panel of judges selected from the audience. Who will it be?”
Review by Richard Lambert, 4 Stars
This is a scaled down pop-up production of Pageant at the Irish Centre. This Camden Fringe Festival production presents a very intimate small Fringe show where you are literally only a few feet away from the amazing cast and all the action.
With percussion and keyboard, and a cast of 7, you’ll love the energy and talent as they sing, dance, trip and stumble in good comedy fashion through a multitude of sketches based around their Beauty Contest. You’ve got the evening gown round, the talent, the brains, and their “caring phone support service” – all incredibly funny! Laughing from start to finish this is a really entertaining show!
The makeup, hair and costumes all incredible! But as a pop-up the Lighting might verge just a little too far into the minimal with only a couple of Front Wash LED Panels to actually illuminate the Cast. The Set is simply a few shimmer cloth drapes and steeldeck stage. However, this doesn’t detract from the frivolous frothy fun.
Always nice to see the unexpected with a Tap number from Miss Texas (Jonni Gatenby, who also doubles as Dance Captain), a roller skating routine from Miss Industrial Northeast (Nic Chiappetta) and a double hand glove puppet routine from Miss Deep South (Adam O’Shea).
The star of the show, with a brilliantly sculpted interpretation, is Miles Western. Miles’ charismatic performance nails Frankie Cavilier as the swanky MC of proceedings!!! He oozes the swagger to its fullest extent. An awesome character portrayal that adds quality to the proceedings – all very tongue in cheek and so so funny!!!
Sam Spencer-Lane’s choreography meshes throughout the show with the Cast dancing in well rehearsed tight unison. The Cast are slick – even in stillies!
The story book may be a little thin (well it did debut off-Broadway in 1991) but the character protrayals are full fat and flavoured! Director Bill Russell has not missed a trick in making this simple show a huge delight!
There are only 9 performances in London until Aug 25th then the show transfers to the Lighthouse Poole so catch this as soon as you can!!!

Yes, the last couple games have been rough. But we can all take a breather this week. The boys had Monday and Tuesday off from practice to recover from a difficult stretch of 5 matches in 15 days.
So take a load off, you guys.
11 goals conceded in the last three matches doesn't bode well; but with everyone rested and Soni Mustivar back on the field, they can get back to business. (We will know more about the return of Mustivar at practice tomorrow).
The Supporters' Shield is far from lost. We're in the home stretch with ten games remaining. They still have three games in hand over the Galaxy and two on Vancouver (STANDINGS). However with two matches in Portland, and big home matches against Dallas, Seattle and LA... the road is a bit bumpy.
Although Vermes says nobody has "emerged as the team to beat", the Galaxy is pretty damn scary right now.
For one.... Giovani Dos Santos feels at home in Los Angeles. And they are all playing like it. Four players scored as they NYCFC 5-1 last weekend and Bruce Arena is loving it: Galaxy continue to find success as MLS landscape changes.
"The good thing is you look at the front four, everyone scored today. That's always a good sign. You've got Juninho and Stevie [Gerrard] who can score also. It's certainly exciting times ahead, but we just continue. Don't get carried away. Continue with the way we're playing like we have been for the last month. As long as we can do that, we'll be fine." - Bruce Arena
The latest MLS Power Rankings came out today and Sporting KC slid to 4th. Colorado, this weekend's opponent, sits all the down in 19th (above only the Chicago Fire). ESPN also has the same top 4 of LA, VAN, NYRB, and SKC.
Zusi's howler is up for GOTW. But it will be tough to beat Cristian Techera's flick.
Right as things are heating up in MLS and everyone wants to be peaking, Jurgen Klinsmann hoping to to get help from clubs during USMNT's busy October.
"Obviously, we need help," said Klinsmann. "We need help from the clubs overseas, we need help from the clubs here in MLS in order to get the players released, especially the olympic team. Qualifiers start outside of the release dates, so we badly need those players to qualify for Rio de Janeiro." - Jurgen
ESPN took a look at several players and who is "warming up" and who is "cooling down" on the national team radar for the upcoming friendlies against Peru and Brazil, along with the VERY important match with Mexico on Oct. 10.
Dempsey, Altiore, Diskerud, and Brooks were all 'cooling down'. Geoff Cameron has been starting at CB for Stoke City and could help stop the defensive woes. Graham Zusi was also on the warming up list:
Graham Zusi, M, Sporting Kansas City (MLS)
Why he's here: Slowed by a series of injuries early in the year, Zusi went the distance for SKC for the first time since June on Saturday, scoring a terrific second-half goal against Columbus.
What this means: It's hard to know where Zusi stands with Klinsmann following a so-so Gold Cup. But the U.S. doesn't have a ton of attacking options right now, and at his best, the Floridian can still help the U.S. in the attacking third of the field.
US Soccer is changing things up a bit in the youth ranks: U.S. Soccer introducing new coaching initiatives focused on youth development | Soccer By Ives.
The 2018 CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying has been tweaked a bit, and RIGHT HERE is how it is all set up.
Just in case you haven't had a good hard laugh today.... Sepp Blatter: Fifa chief says 'he is clean' amid corruption inquiry.
"I have my conscience and I know I'm an honest man. I am clean. I am not a worried man."
In other somewhat troubling news, the guy tabbed with reforming FIFA Francois Carrad defends Sepp Blatter.
On top of that he just absolutely thrashed American soccer. While questioning why the US is even involved in this FIFA nonsense, he had this to say.
"For the U.S., football, soccer, does not have the same weight as baseball, basketball and American football. There, it's just an ethnic sport for girls in schools. In addition, the case involves only a few 'rogues,' including at the FIFA executive committee, who have filled their pockets from continental competitions."
I vehemently disagree, sir.

It’s a slow time for soccer news. This week between Christmas and New Year's Day is a black hole to which the news goes to die. Yet there is still stuff to talk about in Kansas City soccer and more so in a wider sense. Let’s get to it.
MLS Expansion Update
Back in 2021, MLS Commissioner Don Garber had focused the Major League Soccer expansion on three cities: Las Vegas, Nevada, San Diego, California and Phoenix, Arizona. Let’s briefly update all three cities.
Just before Christmas, Luca Bendoni of Transfermarkt is reporting that the San Diego Loyal of the USL Championship will make the jump to MLS.
Landon Donovan's San Diego Loyal will go to the MLS in 2024, coming from the USL. Been told MLS commissioner has approved it. It's time! ⌛️ ✅️ pic.twitter.com/hka29cMfsZ— Luca Bendoni (@LucaBendoni) December 23, 2022
There are no other reports out there to substantiate this move and that timeline seems aggressive. Over the years, San Diego has been in and out of discussions. Over five years ago there were talks of sharing a stadium with San Diego State University’s football team. That obviously didn’t happen at the time, but that stadium, Snapdragon Stadium, has since been built. That could potentially be their home and it’s something to watch.
There are other indications that San Diego may have the lead though.
If San Diego is in, does that mean Vegas is out? Not necessarily, as I’d expect MLS to easily expand to at least 32 teams but being the 30th team could take a hit. During last year’s State of the League, Don Garber said it was safe to assume that Las Vegas was the front runner to be the 30th team. In the 2022 State of the League, Garber said San Diego is “probably closer than ever before,” so it would seem a lot changed in a year.
One potential owner of a Las Vegas MLS team is owner of the NHL’s Las Vegas Golden Knights, Bill Foley. The chance of him owning a team seems to be out the window. Speaking to the BBC about an MLS team, Foley said:
“I’ve looked at it, I’ve examined it, and I was pretty serious about it.”
“The MLS, unfortunately, requires a stadium to be built and, in the United States, that is costing $600-700 [million],” he said.
“The franchise fee itself, I think, is $300m so you are into it for a billion dollars before you have a team.
“I thought Bournemouth was a bargain. I’m buying a Premier League team that already has a stadium, already has players and I can improve it. I don’t see us being involved in the MLS. I’m just not that interested.”
Obviously, a Premier League team comes with a huge wage budget too, particularly compared to MLS, but if the start-up costs are so high, it's bound to be a deterrent to some. MLS may have finally started to price themselves out of expansion after Charlotte FC leaped in line and paid significantly more ($325 million) than the next team.
As for the third city, there isn’t really any news for Phoenix. They’ve often been in rounds of discussion and are the fifth largest city in the United States, but the heat, as in Vegas, is something to overcome. Back in July of 2022, when Phoenix Rising appointed a new Governor, Bill Kraus, he said he couldn’t legally “comment on MLS and Phoenix Rising.”
Garber has previously said he expects an announcement in the first quarter of 2023, but they’ve missed targets in the past. If San Diego is the team and if they are coming in 2024, it has to be announced very soon.

In Kansas City soccer news, the Kansas City Current and midfielder Addie McCain “have agreed to mutually part ways.” After the roster moves were announced in mid-November the team was said to be negotiating with McCain, but instead they put her through the waiver wire which runs today.
Addie was a 2nd round pick in 2021, 17th overall. She only had three starts and 231 minutes in league play last year. With the recently announced contracts for Kate Del Fava and the outside signing of forward Mimmi Larsson, the roster was looking quite full with 22 players already signed and eight draft picks looming in January. The climb for playing time was likely only going to get steeper for McCain, particularly with the free agent additions of midfielders Morgan Gautrat and Vanessa DiBernardo.
Looking back at my predictions going into the offseason, I feel pretty good about the calls I made. I had suspected McCain could end up on the chopping block and ultimately, she ended up not returning. Of all the other options, only Desiree Scott still remains unsigned. Otherwise, I either correctly predicted who would stay and go, with the exception of Kristen Edmonds being offered a deal (as I said they should), but Edmonds deciding to go elsewhere signing with NJ/NY Gotham.
Best of luck to Addie, wherever she ends up.
- Sporting Kansas City’s top five goals of 2022. Erik Thommy is number one for me all day. Not just his ridiculous finish, but that build up and final ball from Espinoza!
- An interesting graphic for World Cup searches versus Big 4 searches while the competition was going on (explanation in the Reddit thread). Missouri scored lower than Kansas, likely because the NFL still rules here with the Kansas City Chiefs.
- The top 10 kits in America’s lower leagues. There are some wild ones in here. Heck, here are 11-22 too, just for fun. Plus, this actually includes some teams from the US Soccer pyramid that you may have heard of. (And because this sent me down a rabbit hole, here are the top ones from 2021 and 2020).
- And let the kit leaks begin. The New England Revolution’s 2023 away kit is fun. I always like a good sash. Simple, but effective. There aren’t a ton of leaks overall, but they are all rounded up here along with the known 2023 kits. As a reminder, Sporting KC get a new primary kit this season as the Hoops 3.0 is gone with the State Line (2.0?) sticking around one more season. | <urn:uuid:bae9a962-8df6-46e1-a1fd-a3900d9d2f62> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.thebluetestament.com/2022/12/27/23528094/mls-expansion-update-san-diego-las-vegas-mccain-departs-kc-current-sporting-kc-goals-kit-leaks | 2023-10-04T19:09:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.972884 | 1,407 |

French scientists have researched the brain’s ability to multi-task. The reported research suggests that the brain can do two things and only two things simultaneously. And more tasks and our brains start making irrational decisions.
This backs up the training at The Brain Training Company where people are taught that their brain’s like to perform two functions and they learn to control that process for optimal performance.
It is interesting that the brain imaging showed that the primary task is controlled by the left frontal lobe and the secondary task is help by the right frontal lobe. The brain switches the focus between the two hemispheres during the tasks.
It is known that women have a larger corpus callosum, the part of the brain connecting the two hemispheres, with more neural pathways. So women are hard wired to have a better connection between the two sides. It has been hypothesised that this maybe why women are generally better at multitasking than men.
This research would seem to back this up, as women can switch between the two tasks in the two side more easily. Men are better at focusing on a single task, in general. Someone once said to me that this comes from our hunter-gatherer evolution – men go and hunt for food, women manage the tasks at home. | <urn:uuid:e09241a0-511d-4ad9-a6b7-b5ae9a003ba6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.thebraintrainingcompany.com/can-you-multi-task/ | 2023-10-04T20:57:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.976119 | 260 |
MM, UWTH, Master Teacher
Bradford has been studying and practicing sound healing since 2006. His exploration began by attending classes at the Globe Institute of Sound Healing and Psycho-acoustic Music in San Francisco with the intent of merging his two interests of music composition and the healing arts. He has a background in classical piano performance and music composition. He graduated from Amherst College in 2002 with a BA in music composition, magna cum laude, and the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 2014 with an MM in Music Composition. He has also been practicing massage therapy since 2004 after receiving certification from the StillPoint School in in Greenfield, MA.
He followed his intuition and moved to San Francisco, CA after obtaining his massage certification. There he was guided to enroll in a sound healing institute. That was where he first connected with his guides, and also where he discovered the crystal singing bowls, which would become central to his performance and sound healing practices. Soon after he was guided to meet and study with the Head Teacher of Universal White Time Gemstone Healing and become a Level 3 Gemstone Teacher within one year.
He discovered that when singing with the crystal bowls, streams of divine energy flow down to inspire and heal the listeners, and began to perform with them allowing people to journey within. He believes everyone can create such a connection with their souls like this and so began to offer private sessions and workshops to help people open up their voice to their divine essence and personal power and healing potential.
Bradford has been sharing his voice and crystal bowls at yoga studios, healing centers, and public venues, locally and globally, in the form of concerts alone or in collaboration with other sound healers and musicians for the past 7 years. He also offers his private sessions and workshops in conjunction with his meditative sound healing journeys and concerts.
In addition to singing with crystal bowls, Bradford is a certified Universal White Time Crystal and Gemstone Healing Teacher. By using crystal layouts in conjunction with sound healing sessions he creates powerful customized healing experiences for people. He also offers workshops and classes in this crystal healing modality and classes in Lemurian Intuitive Crystal and Sound Healing, a modality of his own design.
In addition to all if this, Bradford still composes and performs contemporary classical piano music, which people also find very relaxing and healing. Bradford has released two albums of original piano music and two albums of sound healing music to date.
Bradford enjoys being a guest performer and educator at spaces that focus on consciousness development and healing. His offerings are in alignment with the vision of most healing centers and provide unique experiences for the community and all who are involved.

The 2nd episode ended with Ada’s body found. With what is being shown, Daniel was likely behind it.
1988 is a 2022 sci-fi thriller series surrounding a group of passengers aboard the Kerberos ship. The series was created by Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar. Starring Emily Beecham, Andreas Pietschmann, Aneurin Barnard and Miguel Bernardeau.
1899- Episode 3 Summary & Recap
Episode 3 starts with Ling Yi’s (Isabella Wei) nightmare or distant memory where she was drowning in a box. Yet again, Maura’s whisper of “Wake up” woke Ling Yi up. She was brought to see Mrs Wilson who checked her chasity. Turns out Ling Yi is a virgin and Mrs Wilson herself was surprised considering Ling Yi was “meant to be one of her best girls”. Here, it seems like Mrs Wilson is a pimp and Yuk Je, Ling Yi’s mother was a prostitute. Devastated that she had to “get ready” by eight, Ling Yi ran off.
Meanwhile, a fog blocked Kerberos’s way and the ship had to halt. A male doctor on the ship examined Ada’s body and found no wounds, signs of struggle nor any discoloration on Ada’s skin and throat. He ruled the death was by natural causes or by heart attack, which Eyk and Maura found difficult to believe. Still, Eyk gave instructions to not notify Ada’s family. Instead, he showed Maura the hidden chamber that he found under his bed. It was hidden by a plank with the symbol of triangle and two lines. Eyk also told Maura about Henry Singleton who bought 3 German ships and installed new communication devices in those ships. Henry’s company symbol is exactly that very triangle symbol, which indicated that Henry owned the Kerberos ship.
On top of that, Eyk confided in Maura about the odd hallucinations he had and his daughter’s ribbon that he found on the Prometheus. Believing that something was wrong with the ship, he suggested that he went back to the abandoned ship to look for the captain’s logbook. Maura wanted to follow him and the two took off. This however, created a rift with Franz who did not think Eyk was acting in interest of the ship. So he informed Ada’s family about Ada’s death. Tove and Krester were devastated.
Meanwhile Ling Yi was found by Olek after she started having visions similar to Eyk’s. Ling Yi saw herself trapped in a box and sent to the sea to drown by herself and her mother. Olek took her to another part of the ship and left to get her some food. During that time, Ling Yi had visions again, reminding her of how her sister died. Her sister was a prostitute and was supposed to get on the ship to New York from England. Ling Yi wanted to take her place on the ship and therefore gave her some medicine that she thought would made her sister fall asleep. Instead, her sister died. When Olek returned, Ling Yi’s visions stopped and Olek shared some words of encouragement.
Ling Yi then returned to her customer, Lucien who had been waiting for her. After a dance, Ling Yi offered to undress but Lucien stopped her. He began shaking and collapsed to the ground, telling Ling Yi that “it won’t take long”. In his room, Clemence found that Lucien had taken some form of liquid.
When Eyk and Maura got on the Prometheus, they realized that the captain’s logbook were destroyed. But they found the similar hidden chamber from the captain’s room. Inside the chamber, they found a control panel that maintains the ship’s pressure. They had a similar one in Kerberos, but it was not working. In the incinerator, Eyk found a list of Prometheus passengers and took it. He looked horrified and did not tell Maura about it even after they got back to Kerberos. Turns out, Maura’s name was on the list of Prometheus passengers.
However, when Maura and Eyk returned, Franz had already started a mutiny by getting the third class passenger in arms. Olek who tried to ran away was captured and held captive with Jerome. Ramiro tried to ward Eyk too, but they ended up being cornered by the mutinies. What’s worse was several crew members were found dead. Again, their cause of death was unknown.
Daniel was seen with some form of remote control. After tampering with it, the ship’s pressure gauge started again, even though Eyk claimed that it couldn’t be used before. With that remote control, he also cleared the fog and made Prometheus disappeared out of sight.
Additional Observations From Episode 3
- On the Prometheus passenger list, it was mentioned that the captain was E. Larsen, which might stand for Eyk Larsen himself.
- When Maura was off to the Prometheus, the mysterious boy tried to go under the secret chamber. After he returned, Daniel came and see him. The boy indicated that he couldn’t find what he was looking for.
- It was revealed that Ramiro killed a priest and took his clothes because of something Ángel did. Ramiro also did not like that Ángel does things as he pleases, especially after Ramiro found a drawing of Krester. | <urn:uuid:119fb7af-8bc5-4166-a7a0-1d2d132431df> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.thechillviews.com/1899-episode-3-recap/ | 2023-10-04T19:07:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.989075 | 1,191 |
This week the 10th anniversary of one of the best science fiction films of recent years was celebrated: pacific rimMexican director Guillermo del Toro. And yes, the movie is still funny today.
The story focuses on Raleigh Pickett (Charlie Hunnam)Giant co-pilot wicks Known as Jaegers, they each have cool names like Gipsy Danger, Cherno Alpha, or Striker Eureka. After his brother was killed in battle against A.A KaijuRaleigh retires until he can be recruited again by Marshall Sticker Pentecost (Idris Elba).
Raleigh’s skills are needed to take on bigger, more sinister monsters with Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi). Humanity must prepare for the final battle against kaijuswhich is skyscrapers high, and Rally Pickett must bring it back again.
The $180 million budget is noticed every second, and watching the massive, heavy machines slowly march through the classic sets of giant monster movies. Battles with gigantic creatures are also a visual spectacleEspecially since the viewer can always feel the weight of both monsters.
probably Pacific Rim’s only complaint is that it’s over two hours and eleven minutes long. However, the cinematic world becomes tangible and vivid due to so many very interesting characters that it is difficult to blame Guillermo del Toro for this decision.
To go over what needs to be said about Pacific Rim, mention one of the best heroic speeches in movie history (even compared to… independence day). Idris Elba can make anyone fight monsters from hell with this speech:
pacific rim It has a rating of 65 on Metacritic and 72 on RottenTomatoes…well below what it really deserves. | <urn:uuid:0ef941df-c50e-4771-bd73-c82505f3a7f9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.theclevelandamerican.com/a-180-million-fight-thats-just-as-exciting-today-as-it-was-then/ | 2023-10-04T19:53:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.940319 | 364 |
Investigators discovered rifles, shotguns, handguns, and approximately 25,000 rounds of ammunition at the home of Samuel Cassidy, the gunman who shot and killed nine people before taking his own life Thursday at a light rail yard in San Jose, California, a spokesman for the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office said. As reported by KTVU, authorities said they also found 17 Molotov cocktails that had been strategically placed around Cassidy’s home, which he set ablaze before leaving for work. An ex-girlfriend of Cassidy’s described him as abusive and said he had repeatedly forced himself on her sexually during their tumultuous year-long relationship. Cassidy’s father, 88-year-old James Edward Cassidy, told The Daily Beast that he was shocked by the mass shooting, as his son “seemed completely himself” in the days before the incident.

Asteroid Abundantia, the asteroid of abundance, is going to move from air sign Gemini to water sign Cancer in a few days. Abundantia can show where we're experiencing abundant energy at the moment, and whether there are challenges or benefits.
What does Abundantia in Cancer have in store for us?
Asteroid Abundantia in Cancer 2022 Dates:
Asteroid Abundantia in Cancer 2022 General Impact:
Abundantia in Cancer can bring abundant energy to home and family matters. We may spend more time in the places that are most familiar and feel like home, or with the people we know best and are comfortable with. Some may expand their family during this time, or expand their home (moving to a bigger place or renovating your existing one).
Comfort and familiarity are a big thing for Cancer, so that's what we may focus on having more of. We want to be comfortable, and we want familiarity. We may have greater abundance when we're comfortable and in familiar places with familiar faces, or there may be more opportunities to do or be with or in those people and places.
Cancer is the bottom of the Zodiac, so it connects with internal foundations. With Abundantia in Cancer, we may have greater opportunities to improve internal foundations of ourselves, our relationships, or projects and ventures. We can access more abundance in our lives when we feel our foundation is secure.
Cancer rules emotions, so there may be an abundance of emotion with Abundantia in Cancer. Whatever we feel, we may feel a lot more of, whether it's joy, or sadness, or anger, or confusion. We may need to work on regulating that!
While in Cancer, Abundantia will conjunct, or align with, Black Moon Lilith on June 30th, and this comes with Abundantia conjunct the Sun on June 29th and square (challenging aspect) Jupiter on June 27th. Abundance can be a huge focus thanks to the Sun, and we can be more passionate about it and want to do more thanks to Lilith. But, we may feel stuck in some way, or need to carve out our own way thanks to Jupiter.
Abundantia conjuncts Mercury on July 11th, and this can greatly increase mental energy, ideas, and communications, and this may focus on home/family matters, emotions, or foundations. Abundantia sextiles (beneficial aspect) Uranus on July 23rd, and this can help us try different ways of creating abundance.
On August 6th, Abundantia is trine (beneficial aspect) Neptune, and is then conjunct Venus on August 7th. Compassion and empathy can be high, and we may want to be more helpful with others. We can care a great deal, and feel the need to give support.
The hardest aspect is when Abundantia is opposite Pluto on August 11th. This might bring power struggles that seem out of control, and we can see more anger, rage, and violence. We have to get that under control so we're not doing something we regret later. We need to make sure our emotions aren't getting the better of us.

‘El Chapo’ Guzman: Dozen jurors picked for drug trial
Jurors have been selected in the trial of notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.
Seven women and five men will decide if Guzman is guilty of 11 charges related to trafficking, money laundering, and firearms.
All 12 will remain anonymous under tight security terms and be escorted to and from the court by US Marshals.
If convicted, the leader of the infamous Sinaloa Cartel could face life in prison.
Guzman – whose nickname “El Chapo” roughly means “Shorty” in English – twice escaped prisons in Mexico before he was extradited to the US in January 2017.
His trial in a federal court in Brooklyn will begin on 13 November and could last up to four months.
US prosecutors say the Sinaloa cartel under Guzman’s tenure shipped vast amounts of heroin, methamphetamines, cocaine and marijuana into the US.
Guzman’s lawyers have reportedly hinted they plan to argue he had a smaller role in the cartel than is believed.
Of the jurors, at least three are immigrants and three speak Spanish fluently. Several have relatives who work as prison guards or in law enforcement.
While nearly all said they had heard of Guzman before being called for jury duty, they said they would be impartial in the trial.
Prosecutors said the stringent security conditions were necessary to protect jurors. They said Guzman has a history of intimidating or ordering the murders of potential witnesses, a claim his defence denies.
Several potential jurors were excused after expressing fear about participating.
One woman reportedly wept after learning she was picked and said she was fearful of the attention she would get if she was found out to be on the panel. She remains a part of the jury.
However, others were excused for more particular reasons.
One man, who was born in Medellín in Colombia, was not chosen after admitting he was a “bit of a fan” of Guzman’s and had tried to get his autograph.
Another said his job as a Michael Jackson impersonator made him too well-known to serve, while a third man was reportedly recused after saying he had heard of Guzman thanks to a bagel named after the criminal at a deli near his home – a fact which, if made public, could lead to the man’s identification. | <urn:uuid:f0a72904-ae80-475f-9556-aaf4d32a11a6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.theghanareport.com/el-chapo-guzman-dozen-jurors-picked-for-drug-trial/ | 2023-10-04T19:52:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.985756 | 516 |

A Bench of Justices G.S. Singhvi and V. Gopala Gowda, acting on an appeal by Health for Millions, vacated two interim orders of stay passed by the Bombay High Court. The Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products (Prohibition of Advertisement and Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply and Distribution) Rules 2004 as amended in 2005 were stayed by the High Court in 2005 and this order was made absolute in 2006.
Justice Singhvi told senior counsel V. Shekhar, appearing for the Centre, that every year millions of people died of oral and lung cancer caused by tobacco and tobacco products.
“The High Court did not apply its mind while staying the Rules because of which serious repercussions are faced by lakhs of people,” the judge pointed out, and pulled up the Union government for not taking steps to get the order vacated.
The Bench said the High Court had passed the stay order without taking into consideration the huge adverse repercussions for the public at large, particularly the poor and weaker sections “who are the largest consumers of tobacco products.” As per statistics, “about 10 lakh people die on account of oral and lung cancer per annum and by 2015 it is estimated that about 85 lakh people will die.”
So the manner in which the Government of India handled the matter in the High Court all these years was “intriguing,” the Bench said. “Prima facie, it gives us the impression that counsel for the Union of India had some other idea as he refrained from appearing before the High Court when the date was fixed for consideration for vacating the interim order.”
Criticising the High Court, the Bench said it should be extremely loath to pass interim orders when the vires of the Rules were challenged. The High Court could not stay a law or the Rules unless comprehensive reasons were recorded, the Bench said, quashing the interim orders and directing the Centre and the States to implement the Rules. | <urn:uuid:bf45b43f-545f-4dd8-bea6-e37f4a4d2570> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/health/centre-let-tobacco-rule-go-up-in-smoke-apex-court/article4941103.ece | 2023-10-04T19:28:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.965069 | 486 |
Let’s talk regional delicacies, shall we? Like Black and White cookies from New York City, frozen custard from the Midwest, and San Francisco’s It’s-It ice cream sandwich, there’s an air of mystery and exotic appeal to sweet potato pecan pie for all of us not living in the Southeast.
Sweet potatoes, in pie? Oh my, how wonderfully rustic and old-fashioned. And pecans! Why, if there was ever a pie worthy enough to make into an ice cream flavor (after this one, this one, and obviously this one) it would be sweet potato pecan pie!
Okay, so the pie thing in ice cream has perhaps lost some of its avant-garde appeal, but while pumpkin pie has gotten the full treatment from most commercial ice cream makers, this is the first mass-produced take on a sweet potato flavor to my knowledge. Vegetables in ice cream usually go together like pizza and Twinkies, but add enough cream and brown sugar to anything—not to mention pecans—and you’ve got something thoroughly in the realm of dessert.
I’m not quite sure what to expect as I open the container. Will it be an unnatural Garfield the Cat orange? Will there be skins from the sweet potatoes? Will the Zac Brown Band’s “Chicken Fried” spontaneously start playing, serenading me to the virtues of other southern staples like sweet tea and homemade wine?
Here are the answers to those questions; no, no, and yes, although in the case of the last one, that’s because I had Pandora on in the background to set the mood. And yes, I set the mood before eating ice cream.
The color is a slightly darker version of vanilla, with a pleasant and not overpowering aroma of all the usual fall spices. I try to forget it’s May for a moment and dig in, immediately discovering that a viscous and plentiful pecan swirl runs its way throughout the base. However, there don’t appear to be any pecans. This shatters my only previous conceptions of sweet potato pecan pie, as gleaned from one to many hours gawking at Pinterest.
Obviously, the romantic in me covets plump and crunchy nuts in my ice cream. The actual person in me, though, laughs hysterically at “plump and crunchy nuts.” That person also recently ate pistachio ice cream with plump and crunchy nuts, and remembers it being totally “meh.” Truth be told, whole nuts in ice cream tend to have a raw and somewhat bitter flavor, and I’m thankful for being saved the overly gritty texture which can often ruin an ice cream’s base. By adding the pecans and an invert sugar swirl, this problem is avoided completely, creating a smooth and sweet textural component to compliment the base’s natural creamery fresh taste.
The flavor itself is brown sugar-cinnamon-caramel-sweet cream-pecan, then kinda pumpkiny, and exactly in that order. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of walking around New Orleans while sober with the sole intention of trying every free sample of pralines imaginable (what, doesn’t everyone?) you’ll recognize it tastes exactly like one of the sweet potato pralines offered by any of the numerous vendors. Take my word for it; this is an enjoyable taste, and one which you will come back for repeatedly.
Clearly, I’m impressed. The flavor is more nuanced than Turkey Hill’s graham cracker-infused pumpkin pie flavor, and it’s got a deeper, richer praline effect than your standard cinnamon ice creams. My one complaint is that the sweet potato flavor could use more development. I say this with some trepidation (do I really want to taste the vegetableness of a sweet potato in ice cream?) but knowing how well the brown sugar and cinnamon sweetness works, a little extra sweet potato flavor could go a long way.
Turkey Hill’s Sweet Potato Pecan Pie is a great addition to what’s become a solid lineup of limited edition seasonal flavors, although calling it “seasonal” for May is more of a stretch than marketing the ice cream as a way to sneak vegetables into your diet would be. While the sweet potato flavor is restrained, the brown sugar and praline effect comes through in full force amidst the creamy base, and makes for a new and creative take on a southern specialty.

Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros: Excellent brown sugar-cinnamon and sweet cream flavor. Notes of caramel. Smooth pecan swirl provides pecan flavor without raw nut grit. Doesn’t taste like a vegetable flavored ice cream.
Cons: Could use a more pronounced sweet potato flavor. Base isn’t super premium or rich. Does not have the health benefits of an actual vegetable. | <urn:uuid:e9fb40c8-dcea-4a16-aa63-ff9340159c78> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.theimpulsivebuy.com/wordpress/2014/05/06/review-turkey-hill-seasonal-favorite-sweet-potato-pecan-pie-ice-cream/ | 2023-10-04T20:32:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.909535 | 1,152 |
As you may have noticed, I’m all about planning ahead for unexpected food emergencies, whether it’s illness or laziness or “too hot to cook”. That’s a big one, for sure. Our summer season isn’t that long in Alberta but it can be brutal.
Over the years my meal planning has evolved away from “test kitchen” meals and more complicated, distinct dinners every night to easy, loosely planned, eat-how-you-like meals. The fridge is generally full of food, and while I do try to keep track of what I’ve got, sometimes things get lost in the back of the fridge (which is another great reason to do an inventory! Join the July challenge now! Check out the “Discussion” tab for posts and inspiration)
If you’re lucky enough to start with cooked proteins in your freezer, as I am- from planning and cooking ahead throughout the winter and spring- your pre-planning meals will take center stage over the next few weeks. Think meals such as wraps and salads, egg bites, fried rice, stir-fried vegetables with chopped meat, charcuterie plates, fish tacos.
If not, that’s ok. Take advantage of cool cloudy days to cook ahead and consider pre-cooked rotisserie chickens when it’s hot. Check out the weather forecast and see how you can plan to cook ahead. Use your bbq if you’ve got one, and/or your small appliances outside as much as you can.
Lean on summer staples like canned beans and corn on the cob, summer seasonal fresh fruit, cool yogurt and heart-healthy dips like hummus and tzatziki. Make your meals as quick and easy as you can because summer’s a great time to step back and take a break as much as you are able to.
Check out this old post for more hot weather meal ideas, and happy July to you. | <urn:uuid:54263a40-8482-4844-8aea-d41eb6795da8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.themealsmaven.com/blog/easy-peasy-summer-meals | 2023-10-04T20:53:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.944332 | 417 |
Here are 3 options of final words to say to a woman when she breaks up with you:
1. Tell her that you accept the break up
For example: “Hey, I completely understand why you feel the way you do. Things have been rough between us lately and I can see why you might want to end things. So, I totally accept your decision to break up. I promise not to pressure you into doing anything that you don’t want. So, let’s break up, but at least be mature about it all and stay friends, okay?”
This means that your final words aren’t so ‘final’ after all.
You are creating an opportunity to keep the communication open between you and her, so you can get her back.
Watch this to understand why…
By handling the break up in an emotionally strong and mature way, you will cause her to feel respect and attraction for you.
This will make her feel drawn to you, even if just a little.
It will cause her to go away from the break up with feelings of regret in her heart and mind.
She will begin to miss you and wonder why she is missing you.
This is what you want.
On the other hand, if you don’t accept the break up right away, you will cause her to lose feelings of respect and attraction for you.
So, be mature about it.
If you are, she will then think something along the lines of, “Hmmm…that’s not at all how I thought this would go. I was expecting him to do all sorts of childish things to make me change my mind (e.g. cry, beg, plead, get angry), but he didn’t. In fact, he’s being so emotionally mature about the whole thing. I’m impressed. Other guys can’t handle a break up like a man. Maybe we can stay friends after all. He’s clearly mature enough to do so.”
Of course, she might still respond by saying something along the lines of, “No, I don’t think we can stay friends. It’s probably better if we make a clean break and not see or talk to each other for a while.”
This is just an attempt to maintain her position as the one in control of the break up, or to make sure that she doesn’t seem to be opening back up to you.
Regardless of what she says, don’t let it upset you or cause you to react in a way that will make her to think, “Oh, here it comes! Now he is going to start getting desperate for me. I guess he was just faking being okay with the break up after all. It was a trick. Okay, well two can play at mind games. I’m going to be very cold, rude and closed off from now on.”
So, make sure that you are READY for the tests, because they WILL come.
She will test your confidence by giving you mixed messages or by being very cold or distant all of a sudden.
For example: If she says, “No, I don’t think we can stay friends. It’s probably better if we make a clean break and not see or talk to each other for a while” you just need to maintain your confidence and not appear rejected by her statement.
You might laugh (important!) and add in, “What’s the big deal? Why can’t we be friends? Oh wait, you don’t still have a crush on me, do you? That’s why. I get it now” and have a laugh with her about that.
She will most likely be a bit defensive and say, “No, I don’t have a crush on you! I’m breaking up with you.”
You can then use it as an opportunity to get her to meet up with you by saying, “Prove it then. Let’s catch up for a “friends only” cup of coffee in a couple of days. I’ll call you to set up a time. If you don’t have a crush on me still, you will be fine to catch for a coffee just a friends.”
Say it in a light-hearted, easy-going, playful way, but also be serious about it and actually get her to catch up with you.
In most cases, a woman will agree because she will want to prove to her ex that she doesn’t have feelings for him and is mature enough to remain friends.
Of course, if she keeps saying “No,” just tell her that if she meets up with you this one time, you will then leave her alone and never contact her again if that’s what she wants.
She’ll most likely agree, even if it’s just to get you to leave her alone after that.
Then, when you meet up with her, make sure that you say and do the types of things that will reactivate her feelings of respect and sexual attraction for you.
For example: Maintain your confidence around her even when she’s being cold and distant, make her smile, laugh and feel happy that she said yes to the meet up, make her feel feminine in contrast to your masculine vibe and charm her with your new and improved approach to the relationship.
She will then begin to wonder, “What’s going on here? Why am I only feeling positive emotions towards him all of a sudden?” and won’t be able to stop herself from feeling surges of respect and attraction for you once again.
From there, you simply build on that spark of attraction to show her that things really are different now.
Alternatively, you might want to…
2. Calmly tell her what you like about her and say goodbye
Another example of the final words to say to a woman when she breaks up with you, is to calmly say some nice things about her and then leave.
For example: You might say, “Hey, you’re a great woman and I really appreciate the time we had together. You’ve always been loving, kind and attentive to me in the relationship, even when I was being a bit of a jerk. So, I will always respect that about you. I just want you to know that I wish you only the best. Of course, I’m sad that it didn’t work out between us, but I hope you find happiness. You deserve it.”
Then, after saying that to her, give her a few days of space (between 3 to 7 days) so she can calm down and start missing you.
Make sure you don’t ignore her for longer than that though, because if she has disconnected from her feelings for you, she’s just going to use that time to get over you and move on.
Watch this for more info…
After giving her 3 to 7 days of space, go ahead and contact her (preferably calling her on the phone rather than texting her) and actively re-spark some of her feelings of respect and attraction for you.
Then, get her to agree to a meet up with you in person so you can fully re-attract her and start the process of getting her back.
Another option is to…
3. Joke with her by switching roles and breaking up with her instead
It has been said that laughter is the best medicine.
By using humor, you can change a potentially difficult and tense situation (i.e. breaking up) into something that can spark some respect in her and make her see you in a more positive light.
For example: You might laugh (important) and say in a joking way, “What? You’re breaking up with me? No way am I going to allow that to happen! I’m breaking up with you first! It’s over. I can’t be with you anymore. You’re dumped!” and have a laugh with her about that.
When you make her laugh, she stops focusing on all the negatives about you and she may even start to think things like, “I’m still going to break up with him, but I have to admit that he is the kind of guy who can always make me laugh…even when things were really serious and awkward. That’s one of his finest qualities. I like that about him. I’m going to miss him.”
You can then continue making her feel attracted during the conversation until she has a whole list of things about you that she likes.
For example: Not only do you have a great sense of humor, but you also have the confidence and emotional strength to use it in a difficult situation (i.e. when she’s breaking up with you).
Additionally, not only are you funny, confident and emotionally strong, but you’re also emotionally mature enough to handle the break up like a man, rather than crying, begging and pleading like other guys would.
The more she thinks about it, the more she realizes that you have many attractive qualities that she actually likes.
Suddenly, all the reasons she has for breaking up with you don’t seem so important anymore.
She starts to open back up to you and as a result, you can re-attract her and get her back.
What You Shouldn’t Be Doing When She Breaks Up With You
The final impression you make on a woman when she breaks up with you really matters.
It is the difference between earning some of her respect for you again, or turning her off even more.
So, to ensure that you stay on her good side, make sure to avoid any of the following mistakes that other guys make.
When a woman breaks up with a guy, he will often make mistakes, such as…
Sometimes a guy might not know how else to react when his woman breaks up with him, so as a last resort, he might start crying.
He is hoping that she will think, “Wow, he must really love me if he’s falling apart like that. Maybe I’m making a mistake here. Do I really want to lose a man who is even willing to cry over me?” and feel guilty enough about what she is doing to give him another chance.
Yet, that almost never happens.
Instead of being impressed by his display of desperation, a woman will add, “Emotionally sensitive, needy and desperate, wimpy, wussy” to the list of things that have been turning her off about him.
As a result, her decision to leave the relationship feels like the right thing to do for her.
Here’s the thing…
Most women don’t want to be in a relationship with the kind of man they can’t look up to and respect.
So, when a guy is crying and coming across as emotionally weak, a woman will usually think something like, “Maybe it’s just his way of showing me that he loves me, but if he can’t handle a simple break up without falling apart like this, what are the chances that he will be able to handle other, more challenging situations in life? He just doesn’t realize that by crying he’s only convincing me even more that I made the right decision to break up with him. I don’t want to be with a guy who is emotionally sensitive and needs me to support him and prop him up when things get tough. I want a man who is confident and emotionally strong enough to take care of both himself and me, no matter what life throws at him.”
Another example of what not to do when a woman breaks up with you is…
2. Trying to have a long, drawn out, deep and meaningful conversation
A guy might assume that by getting into a deep, serious conversation about the relationship (e.g. asking her why she’s breaking up with him and what he can do to convince her to give him another chance) will be the best way to get her to change her mind and give him another chance.
He’s hoping that she will think something like, “This is good! At least we’re finally getting to the bottom of our problems. Maybe now we can actually work things out! I have to give him another chance” and everything will get sorted out.
Unfortunately, having that kind of conversation with a woman before you’ve fully reactivated her feelings of respect, sexual attraction and love for you, will simply make her focus on the fact that you don’t even know what she wants.
Let me say that another way for you…
If she doesn’t feel attracted to you and you try to have a deep and meaningful conversation about the relationship, she will realize that you don’t even know what she wants.
You don’t know how to make her feel attracted anymore and instead, you want to discuss the relationship and try to fix things.
She doesn’t want to fix things.
She wants to feel differently.
The only way to make that happen is to change your approach to attraction (e.g. if you were too emotionally sensitive before, then you now are so much more emotionally strong and ballsy) so she can feel attracted to you in a new and exciting ways.
In other words, the most important thing is how she feels, not how you feel.
I know, it’s not nice to hear that, but it’s the reality of the situation when you’re getting dumped.
Your feelings are only important to her if she has feelings for you.
If you don’t make her feel attracted to you again, she’s just not going to want to work on the relationship, fix things and get back with a guy who doesn’t even know how to make her feel attracted anymore.
It’s very annoying for a woman to have to explain what women feel attracted to and how her guy can make her feel that way.
So, make sure you avoid the deep and meaningful conversation and just focus on making her want you again.
Attract her and pick her up again like she is a completely new woman to you.
Don’t talk to her as though you and her are deeply in love with each other, because you’re not.
You are deeply in love with her, but she currently doesn’t feel the same way.
Fix that and you will get her back right away.
Another mistake to avoid making is…
3. Getting angry
It’s understandable that a guy might feel shocked when his woman wants to break up with him, but getting angry with her about it and doing something silly (e.g. become aggressive, violent, threatening, rude) is not going to help him get her back in the long run.
A woman is not a man’s property and she doesn’t have to stay in a relationship with him if she doesn’t want to.
As a result, getting angry with a woman about her decision to break up, isn’t going to change her mind and make her feel obligated to stay.
In fact, she will simply lose more respect and attraction for you as a man, and that will make getting her back a lot more difficult.
So, maintain your cool and be a confident, emotionally strong, loving man.
That approach always wins.
Another mistake to avoid making is…
4. Begging or pleading for another chance
When a man resorts to begging and pleading for another chance, a number of things happen in a woman’s head:
- She loses even more respect and attraction for him because he is being emotionally weak and wimpy in front of her.
- She feels that he’s not really facing up to the fact that she’s breaking up with him because certain aspects of his thinking and behavior has turned her off over time and he is hoping that by begging and pleading, she’ll stop wanting to leave and give him another chance.
- She feels like she has to console him because he can’t cope and that only makes her lose more attraction for him.
- She begins to look at him as a weak, immature guy who doesn’t yet know how to be a real man.
So, rather than changing her mind about the break up, she becomes even more convinced that he’s not the right guy for her.
Another mistake to avoid making is…
5. Trying to work things out via text
When a guy tries to work things out with his ex via text, it almost never works.
Texts on a little screen don’t have the same impact as words spoken over the phone, or in person where a woman can hear the tonality of your voice or see your confident, masculine body language.
Rather than give you the benefit of the doubt via text and imagine that you’re being confident, emotionally strong and mature, she will remember how you behaved near the end of the relationship and when she broke up with you (e.g. needy, clingy, insecure, childish) instead.
As a result, she won’t be interested in working things out with you.
What you need to remember is that texts aren’t you.
Words can’t fully portray to her the changes and improvements that you’ve made since she broke up with you, so if she is like most women, she will assume that you haven’t even changed.
On the other hand, if you call her on the phone, or meet up with her in person, she will sense that things really are different now.
She’ll be confronted by the new and improved you (e.g. more confident, emotionally independent, emotionally masculine, charismatic, appealing) and even though she may try to fight it, she will instinctively start to feel rushes of respect and attraction for you once again.
When her feelings get reawakened, she stops pushing you away and getting her back becomes easy.
So, while the final words that you say to a woman are important, how you behave after that is even more important if you want her back.
If you focus on re-attracting her and making her want you back, you will get her back.
If you ignore her and hope that she comes back, she will most likely move on.
If you beg and plead for another chance, she will lose respect for you and close up even more.

If you believe that you’re doing everything right in your relationship, it only makes sense that you’d be wondering why she is being distant.
After all, if you’re a good guy, you love her and you’re doing your best, then what is her problem?
So, why do women act distant, when to a guy, everything seems to be going perfectly on track?
Here are 4 common reasons why…
1. She’s testing your confidence
Women always test a guy’s confidence because they have an instinctive need to ensure that they are coupled up with a confident guy who will remain emotionally strong with or without her reassurance.
If she becomes distant to test how you will react and you then become emotionally sensitive and insecure, she will instinctively lose respect and attraction for you.
Even though she might not be able to explain it herself, instinctively she will know that something just isn’t right.
A woman will happily stick with a man if he is able to remain confident in his attractiveness and value to her no matter how she tests him.
However, if he can’t handle her confidence tests, she will instinctively begin to lose interest in being with him.
Each women uses confidence tests in a different way and with different timing.
For example: Some women are easy to pick up and get into a relationship, but about 2-3 months in, she will completely change and play hard to get.
Likewise, some women test a guy’s confidence a lot when they first meet him by playing hard to get, but once they are in a relationship, they soften up and fall madly in love.
Each women is slightly different, so to be successful at picking up women and keeping a relationship together, you’ve got to be emotionally strong enough to handle the confidence tests of women.
2. Her feelings for you aren’t strong enough yet
Another reason why your woman might be acting distant is that she’s just not fully in love with you yet.
The beginning of a relationship is always the easy part because of the excitement of being with someone new, kissing, having sex and enjoying the feelings of lust and new love.
However, after a while (how long depends on the woman), it’s not unusual for a woman to ask herself:
- Is this the guy that I see myself being with in the long term?
- Is he really the best that I can do?
- Can he deepen my respect, attraction and love for him over time, or is this as good as it’s going to get?
- Can I love him, faults and all, or is he only good enough for now, until someone better comes along?
Naturally, while all of this is going on in her head, she will act distant and pull away from her man, causing him to feel shut out, and possibly even worried about losing her.
He might then begin to think, behave, talk and act in insecure ways, which will turn her off and start making her think about breaking up with him.
What a guy needs to do is to simply relax, maintain his belief in his attractiveness to her and let the relationship unfold naturally.
As long as he is able to deepen her feelings of respect, attraction and love over time, she won’t want to break up with him.
However, one of the reasons why some women won’t fall madly in love quickly is that she doesn’t want to go through the process of giving her complete love and trust to a guy, only to find out a short while later that he has no idea how to guide her into deeper feelings of respect, attraction and love in the long term.
For example: Some guys think that once they get a girlfriend to fall in love with them initially, she’s going to stick around and put up with him for a long time or for life.
A guy like this might then relax and assume that hanging out together, watching TV, going out to eat once in a while and kissing and having sex is enough for her to want to stay with him for life.
Yet, that’s not how it works.
If you want your relationship with your woman to grow and flourish over time, you have to be the one leading both her, and yourself, to deeper levels of respect, attraction and love.
If you can’t do that, then why should she stay interested?
Look at it this way: When you plant a seed, you have to then continue watering and nurturing it for the rest of your life, if you want it to grow into a big, strong healthy plant.
The same applies to a relationship.
The initial feelings of attraction are not enough to last for a lifetime, unless you can nurture them into something bigger and more meaningful.
The more attraction, love and respect you can make her feel for you, the quicker she will decide that you’re a catch worth keeping, and then she will draw closer to you and open up, because she won’t want to lose you.
3. She’s feeling turned off by your excessive need for her
There’s nothing wrong with really wanting your woman and enjoying spending time with her, but when it gets to the point where you need her for your emotional security and stability, that’s when problems begin to occur.
It’s a woman’s natural instinct to be attracted to the emotional strength in men (e.g. confidence, masculinity, drive and determination, high self esteem) and be turned off by the emotional weakness (e.g. insecurity, self-doubt, clinginess, neediness).
If a woman is a little preoccupied and distracted in her relationship (e.g. she’s having a hard time at work, she’s in the middle of big exams) and her guy reacts by becoming clingy and needy towards her, she will instinctively pull away and start acting distant.
If he then keeps asking, “Why are you being so distant? What’s wrong? What’s changed between us; don’t you love me anymore?” or “You know that you are everything to me. You’re the only thing that I care about? Can’t you see that when you act distant and keep me shut out I feel like I’m dying inside? What do I need to do make things go back to the way they were at the beginning? Just tell me and I’ll do anything for you. Anything!” she will feel turned off by what she perceives as his emotional weakness.
She might then start thinking, “Why is he so insecure in our relationship? What is he hiding from? Have I hooked up with a guy that other women wouldn’t want? Is he needy for me because he knows how difficult it would be to find another woman? What kind of man do I have here? Is he needy for me because he lacks purpose in life? Is he afraid of spending time rising through the levels of life to reach for his true potential as a man? Do I have a failure of a man here? Am I going to be safe staying with him in the long run?”
If she senses that he is using her and the relationship as an excuse to hide from his true potential as a man in life, she will naturally distance herself from him even more.
A woman definitely wants a man who loves and respects her and is there for her, but she doesn’t want get stuck with a guy who hides from the challenges of life behind a relationship with her.
When a guy is needy, clingy and insecure in his relationship, it makes a woman feel as though she has to mother him and take care of him emotionally, which is a huge turn off for her.
4. She’s trying to tell you that something is wrong
Every couple goes through some ups and downs in a relationship. It’s completely normal, expected and natural.
However, if a woman suddenly realizes that her instinctive desire to distant herself isn’t because of little things (e.g. he doesn’t take out the garbage when she asks him to, he forgets to call her when he said he would), but because of major issues, she will begin to distance herself from her guy.
For example: A woman might realize that, even though at the beginning of their relationship, her guy attracted her with certain personality traits and behaviors (e.g. confidence, masculinity, charisma, charm), it was all an act to get her into a relationship.
Now, after she has fallen for him a little, his true colors are coming through (e.g. he’s insecure, jealous, doesn’t have much purpose or direction in life, prefers to watch TV rather than face his problems head on, can’t handle her confidence tests, argues with her over unimportant things, needs her emotional support to feel strong).
She might then start dropping hints to let him know what’s bothering her (e.g. she might say, “Why are you always watching TV? Why don’t you do something with your life?” or “You’re smothering me. I need some space.”)
If he doesn’t get the message, she will begin pulling away and distancing herself emotionally until she is ready to break up with him.
Unfortunately, most guys don’t notice what’s going on until it’s almost too late.
They often ask, “But, why doesn’t she just tell me what’s bothering her? How am I supposed to guess what’s going on?”
Yet, here’s something that you need to understand and accept about women…
Most women won’t come out and tell a guy what’s bothering them and give him a nice list of things to fix. A woman will hint and then she’ll distance herself and wait for her man to figure things out by himself.
She doesn’t want to have to mother him or teach him how to be the kind of man she can look up to, respect and feel attracted to.
If she has to take on the role, she will feel more dominant than him and that will kill her feelings of sexual attraction.
So, if your woman is acting distant, it may be her way of trying to get your attention focused on the fact that there is a deep problem with how you are approaching the relationship dynamic (e.g. you’re giving her too much power, you’re insecurity is ruining her attraction for you).
The sooner you understand what is causing her to pull away from you, the sooner you can fix any issues and re-spark her feelings of respect and attraction.
Making Your Relationship Better Than it Was Before
Right now, if you’re asking, “Why do women act distant in a relationship?” it’s quite obvious that your relationship is not the way you want it to be.
The good news is that this can change and you can actually make your relationship even better than it was before.
Start by figuring out the real reason your woman is acting distant.
- Have I been turning her off by acting jealous, needy or insecure?
- Have I been making her feel the way she wants to feel when she’s with a man (i.e. making her feel feminine and girly in comparison to how masculine I think, talk, feel, behave and act)?
- Am I rising through the levels of life like a man, or am I using her and the relationship as an excuse to hide from my fears of failure?
- Have I been deepening her feelings of respect, attraction and love, or have I been sitting back hoping that it will happen all by itself?
Regardless of what your answers are, when you start fixing your issues and show your woman that she’s been heard, she will naturally start to feel respect for you again.
Then, you simply need to continue deepening her feelings of attraction for you and her love for you will become stronger every day.
She will open up to you and feel lucky to have found a man that is so emotionally strong and mature compared to other guys.
Instinctively, she will know that her best chance at a happy, fulfilling life is to hold on to you and never let you go, rather than risking being a guy who isn’t able to make her feel what you do.

This humorous poem appears in Carroll’s earliest surviving manuscript, a magazine he created for his younger siblings when he was just thirteen years old.
A Tale of a tail—
An aged gardener gooseberries picked,
From off a gooseberry tree;
The thorns they oft his fingers pricked
Yet never a word said he—
A dog sat by him with a tail,
Oh! such a tail! I ween,
That never such in hill or dale,
Hath hitherto been seen.
It was a tail of desperate length,
A tail of grizly fur,
A tail of muscle, bone, and strength
Unmeet for such a cur.
Yet of this tail the dog seemed proud
And ever and anon,
He raised his head, and barked so loud,
That tho’ the man seemed something cowed,
Yet still his work went on.
At length in lashing out its tail,
It twisted it so tight,
Around his legs, 'twas no avail,
To pull with all its might.
The gardener scarce could make a guess,
What round his legs had got,
Yet he worked on in weariness,
Although his wrath was hot.
“Why, what’s the matter?” he did say,
“I can’t keep on my feet,
‘Yet not a glass I’ve had this day
‘Save one, of brandy neat.
“Two quarts of ale, and one good sup,
‘Of whiskey sweet and strong,
‘And yet I scarce can now stand up,
I fear that something’s wrong.
His work reluctantly he stopped,
The cause of this to view,
Then quickly seized an axe and chopped,
The guilty tail in two.
When this was done, with mirth he bowed
Till he was black and blue,
The dog it barked both long and loud,
And with good reason too.
Moral.

Magma Storm is a type of move in Pokemon Go that has been getting a ton of attention recently. Related to the Heatran Raid, some players have a question in mind; how to get Magma Storm Back on Heatran in Pokemon Go. So, let’s answer it in detail below.
- How To Get Shiny Turtonator in Pokemon Go Dark Flames Event – The Panther Tech
- How to Catch Ditto in Pokemon Go 2023 – The Panther Tech
- How to Get Glaceon in Pokemon GO – The Panther Tech
- How to Get Ribombee in Pokemon GO – The Panther Tech
If you went through the simpler raid, then you can go through the Shiny Heatran. In this way, you can go through it once more, but at a different level.
You can actually get Magma Storm Back on Heatran using the Elite TM. This is one of the ways to do this. Otherwise, there is another way as well below.
Catch New One
Even if you had done the Elite TM after doing the Shiny One, you could simply catch a new one for the Magma Storm.
Get Magma Storm Back on Heatran in Pokemon Go
To get Magma Storm Back on Heatran in Pokemon Go, you simply have to do three things;
- Do Shiny
- Go for Elite TM
- Catch a New One, which is basically easier than both
Players were confused about whether is it possible to get the Magma Storm Back on Heatran, and it truly is. You can either go for the shiny, elite TM or go for the new catch, which is basically easier. | <urn:uuid:c49bde94-653d-4404-85e0-8ae26b41201b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.thepanthertech.com/get-magma-storm-back-on-heatran-in-pokemon-go/ | 2023-10-04T21:08:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.919064 | 349 |
As good as the Bobcats have been at home this season, playing another game at The Convo is the last thing on the team’s mind heading into the regular-season finale at Miami.
Ohio needed a win against Kent State Wednesday and a win from first-place Akron to lock up a triple bye in the upcoming Mid-American Conference tournament, but the Bobcats had no shimmer in a loss to the Golden Flashes, and the Zips fell at home for the first time in conference play.
That leaves Ohio (23-7, 10-5 MAC) on unstable ground in its search for a tournament bye. With a win against Miami on Friday, the team will wrap up at least a double bye and will have a shot at the elusive three-round free pass with some outside help.
But if Eastern Michigan and Kent State win their final games and the Bobcats lose to the RedHawks, Ohio will fall to fifth in the MAC, will not clinch a bye, and will instead return to The Convo on Monday to open the conference tournament against Northern Illinois.
But the Battle of the Bricks requires no extra motivation, coach John Groce said, adding that his team can take care of business simply by winning.
“I won’t talk much about seeding and standings because that stuff takes care of itself, but they’ll know. Kids are kids, they’ll look and it is what it is,” he said.
“Hopefully, it will inspire us to play harder and better than we did (Wednesday) on Friday.”
Both teams have high expectations for the final game of the season. The Miami faithful will bid adieu to seniors Julian Mavunga and Adam Thomas, and possibly to 16-year head coach Charlie Coles, who has hinted that he is considering retirement and was hospitalized for observation last weekend. He has since been released and will coach the RedHawks from the sideline Friday.
“It’s certainly bittersweet if in fact it’s his last game at Millett (Hall),” said associate head coach Jermaine Henderson, who has played for and coached with Coles during Coles’ entire tenure as head coach at Miami.
“The bitterness, of course, is that you won’t have that wealth of knowledge any longer. When you look at the sweet part about it, he’s had it for a long time. He’s done a tremendous amount for Miami basketball, Miami University and the students that come through it.”
The RedHawks (9-19, 5-10 MAC) have struggled for much of the year but have shown promise at times. They fell to lowly Northern Illinois earlier during the conference season but also upset Buffalo and gave Ohio a healthy scare in front of a full house at The Convo. Three of Miami’s five conference wins came against teams in the top five in the MAC standings.
Ohio has had little time to make adjustments since Wednesday’s setback. The Bobcats will play their third game in six days Friday night, and they will need better ball control from their forwards to secure a win on the road.
“(Reggie) Keely and (Ivo) Baltic need to be better, and they can’t get their ball taken,” Groce said. “They’ve got to be stronger with the ball. Both those guys know that.” | <urn:uuid:8d454ee2-00e8-4806-ac5f-88b525a7a27b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.thepostathens.com/article/2012/03/mens-basketball-cats-tournament-destiny-on-the-line-with-road-game-against-redhawks | 2023-10-04T20:47:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.972272 | 735 |
A sunroof is installed on car roofs and is a sliding window panel that offers you an amazing view of the sky when you are driving. A sunroof installation cost will depend on a few factors, which we will talk about in this article. One of the best types of sunroof currently available is the moonroof. It is made almost entirely of glass and will give you an amazing view even if you close it.
Sunroofs were first made from a pane of glass that was nontransparent. It could only be opened and closed manually. When it was invented, it was first introduced as a basic option in several 1937 models made by the Nash Motor Company.
It was only in 1973 that a moonroof was developed by a marketing supervisor of Ford Company. This could be opened, so that travelers could enjoy the outside view through the glass, and it was made of a clear pane so that they could enjoy the same view even when this sunroof was closed.
How much does sunroof installation cost?
Most sunroof installation jobs will cost between $900 and $2,300, depending on factors like the professional working on the installation, the type you car you have, and the type of sunroof you purchase. This cost will include the sunroof and the labor needed for the installation.
An aftermarket sunroof or moonroof will only cost you around $300 to $800 to install yourself if it’s a simple unit that will pop open for ventilation. The cost will gradually increase as you need more features for the sunroof and will be considerably higher if you plan to hire a professional to do it for you.
The list below will give you an idea of the different types of sunroofs you could buy and their respective costs.
Type of sunroof with Average Prices (parts + set up)
- Moonroof – This power-operated sunroof comes with a sliding glass panel. It can slide into the car, right between the headliner and the metal roof. This type of sunroof is the most common one you will see installed on cars. Moonroofs are usually priced between $1,300 and $2,800.
- Factory Installed – This is considered a premium feature for some models, although some more expensive cars have it as a standard feature. It usually costs between $1,500 and $2,500, depending on the car you’re buying and the type of sunroof you pick.
- Spoiler Sunroof – The spoiler sunroof is a glass panel that is top-mounted and can tilt and slide along the outside of the vehicle’s roof. Depending on the make and model of the vehicle you have and its size, expect to spend $700 to $1,300, on the spoiler type.
- Pop-up Sunroof – This type of sunroof is usually the cheapest option you have. It is manually operated and removable. It will usually cost between $500 and $1,000.
- Panoramic – Panoramic sunroofs are usually factory-installed. They are opaque or transparent and expand farther than a traditional part. Most panoramic panes cost between $2,000 and $3,500 which makes them a rather costly option, but some car enthusiasts consider them the best as well.
But enough with the ranges and guesses. We did the research for you and looked around the Internet to see the prices other car owners have paid for aftermarket sunroofs. The prices can be found in the table below:
|Car Type||Average (parts + labor)|
|Jeep Grand Cherokee||$1,650|
Discussions on different sunroof forums revealed the rates that most professionals charge for different types of sunroofs. According to them, big power moonroofs that were made for full-sized SUVs or trucks can easily reach prices of $1,800, while 32-inch by 20-inch pop-up sunroofs that have a detachable glass panel can cost as low as $900.
The sunroof installation process
Before you can install an aftermarket sunroof, you should know that the headliner will have to be removed. The solid sheet of metal will then have to be cut based on the specifications of the sunroof. If you go for a powered model, you will then have to run power wires from the fuse box to the new sunroof location.
Most sunroofs will be bought as complete kits so after the wires have been setup properly, the full kit will be dropped into the newly cut hole. After this, the wiring will be plugged in and everything will be bolted shut.
It should be obvious that any type of sunroof should only be installed by a professional who is knowledgeable about the roof of the particular vehicle involved. A simple installation of an OEM or aftermarket sunroof will require a lot of practice and experience.
What are the additional costs?
Even when perfectly installed, aftermarket sunroofs are still prone to leaks. As the overall design and the materials the sunroof is made from won’t fit the original specifications of the vehicle, most experts recommend against installing an aftermarket part, even if you’re sure the job will be done in a professional manner.
Even though it isn’t a cost to consider when you’re installing the piece, repairs might pop up in the future and could cost $100 to $250 when it comes to replacing the motor running it or as much as $300 to $500 to replace the sunroof glass.
Aside from this, there are some other expenses you should know about, that will influence the cost of a sunroof installation. When opting for an electric type of sunroof, it will end up costing more than a manual alternative, but in the end, it will probably be more practical for you as a car owner.
You should also consider getting a warranty on both the sunroof itself and its installation, to avoid having to spend any additional money, if either the sunroof or the work involved in installing it were to be poorly made.
As soon as you figure out how much the warranty will cost, also figure out if this modification will have any effect on your car’s insurance.
If you want to make sure that you are still adhering to the car insurance requirements, you might have to modify it and include the sunroof. This addition won’t necessarily come with a higher cost for your policy.
You should take into account any reparations that the sunroof will need in the future, considering that you’re adding a multi-piece system to your car. These repairs shouldn’t come for a few years, because even the cheapest of the sunroofs don’t start to leak for quite some time.
If you’re going for an automatic system, you should be prepared to have to repair it sooner, as these are more easily broken than manual ones. The track that holds the side of the panel will also need to be repaired at some point. Usually, you will spend around $250 or more to have the sunroof repaired and some of the easier repairs can be taken on as DIY projects, but they would still cost you around $100.
More complex issues that will require a mechanic’s help can cost $1,200 or even more, depending on the parts that are malfunctioning and the number of labor hours required.
How Long Should a Sunroof Installation Take?
It shouldn’t take more than two hours for a professional to install a sunroof on your car, but it will, of course, depend on your vehicle’s make and model. For most cars, this process will take even less, sometimes right under an hour.
If you choose to undertake this task yourself, be prepared to spend a little longer figuring out where everything goes, but there are plenty of tutorials on the internet to help you get through this.
Who Can Help You Install a Sunroof?
As with any other car repair or improvement, if you don’t feel confident enough to go through it alone, it’s best to go either to a car dealership, an auto glass store, or even a car shop or independent mechanic that has a history of installing sunroofs. If you don’t know how to find either of those, just look online and read some reviews about the professionals in your area.
Always remember to get at least 3-5 quotes before deciding who you’re going with, but never work with someone based solely on the cost of their services.
How Long Does a Sunroof Last?
Your sunroof should last longer if it is made from silicone or polycarbonate, which are considered quality materials. A higher-quality system will usually last 15-20 years with ease, even if you overuse it.
You will notice that your sunroof breaks considerably faster if you get a cheaper model because it will usually be made from lower-quality materials like plastic or neoprene. Although you will spend a little less when buying a lower-quality sunroof it will also leak sooner and will have considerably more issues than the premium models, which means you will also have to replace it sooner.
Benefits That Come With a Sunroof
One of the most obvious advantages of installing a sunroof on your car, especially if it is properly installed, is an increase in the price of the vehicle. But this isn’t the only advantage offered by this add-on. Another great plus will be the boost in aesthetic appeal, making your car look more luxurious.
The sunroof will also allow fresh air into the car, along with a lot of sunlight. It will also offer a great view of the outside regardless of the weather, creating an almost 360-degree view around the vehicle that all passengers can enjoy.
Is The Sunroof Worth It?
Factory-installed sunroofs are the best
A factory addon sunroof has actually been crafted to accommodate all of the modifications to the design, consisting of the roofing, seals, wires, insulation, controls, etc. However, an aftermarket part, on the other hand, will not be developed to satisfy the requirements of a factory setup. Aside from this, they might not match the vehicle’s general design, have very restricted functions, and might rattle and/or leak quite a bit, even when appropriately set up.
If going for an aftermarket sunroof, be sure the specialist, at least, provides a service warranty for as much as 3 years to protect your financial investment. In this manner, you will know the product and service are of quality.
Talk to your vehicle’s manufacturer before setting up an aftermarket sunroof to see if it can affect your vehicle’s factory warranty.
The sunroof installation cost is between $800 and $3,000. The number of hours that will be put into labor will affect the final price. The costs will also be influenced by the type of sunroof and your vehicle’s make and model. Keep in mind that this won’t be the only expense you will face when installing a sunroof. You should also prepare to spend on any needed repairs and possible insurance surcharges. Going for a cheaper part might also mean that you will have to replace it sooner than you.

I firmly believe that if you don't whole heartedly love yourself there is no way you can really love anyone else. Without any self-love all there is, is hate. Hate for yourself, hate for others, and as we all know by now love trumps hate every single time.
Last year about this time I posted all about the pride we must have in ourselves (http://bit.ly/2ugsqJv) no matter who we are.
This year I decided I had to attend the NYC Pride March. I actually had wanted to attend before this but the dates never seem to work out. This year I made sure they did.
I began my morning by getting on the train and eating a vegan protein bar. This is the difference between being under or over thirty years old. Those under were probably already pregaming.
I got out at Union Station where I was surprised to see so many people out there getting their sales pitch hustle on; trying to sell as many rainbow flags, pins, practically anything with a rainbow on it that they could.
I walked down Fifth Avenue towards the Village which is pretty much the entire parade route. When I arrived at the corner of Gay and Christopher Streets I found a spot to stand in the shade. I was all set to go.
I wanted to be as close to the end of the route as possible because I wanted to be sure to pass by the gay rights monument that is the Stonewall Inn. Seeing that spot has been on my to do list (http://bit.ly/2s4Ydji) for some time.
I actually got to pass by the bar later on in the day but not the way I wanted. Of course it was too packed on this particularly day to get close let alone inside so I have to still go back to have at least have one drink, otherwise I won’t be available to properly check it off my list. But that was not what Pride Day was all about, necessarily.
Since it is not in my nature to skip out on the history behind any particular event, here are the basics. The first ever Pride parade was held in NYC in 1970 to commemorate the Stonewall Inn riots that occurred the prior year. It has continued every year since then promoting the issues and names of those struggling and surviving the injustices the LGBTQ community has been forced to endure.
Apparently 2017 marks the first time in history that the NYC Pride March was being broadcast live on ABC7 from twelve to three p.m. I was none the wiser but it wouldn't have mattered since I was there. But it is still good to know that this parade is being treated with the same magnitude as the Thanksgiving Day Parade but clearly one is more important than the other.
The Rainbow Flag, which is such a big part of the LGBTQ community’s image originates from San Francisco. A former drag queen with a talent for sewing named Gilbert Baker, who was friends with the late Harvey Milk, worked on creating the iconic flag from 1976-1978. Harvey knew they needed a symbol where words were not needed and anyone in the world can identify with a flag.
Baker instinctively knew:
“They are among the most immediate, primal, and communicative forms of design.”
The first rainbow flag made its debut on June 25th, 1978 at the United Nations Plaza in San Francisco. This flag now resides at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC, a source of great pride for me. I have a planned trip to MOMA this summer to see their current Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit. I will be sure to see this flag before I do anything else that day.
As for the parade (technically called a march) it was fun. It started pretty soon after I found my sweet spot and the energy was amazing. Everyone was in a great mood, sharing the love in the air, even brining out the politeness New Yorkers aren't necessarily known for. There wasn't any shoving or pushing like I have experienced at stage doors. Here everyone was just out to show, well their pride, and respect. It was a great feeling to be in the crowd.
There were of course those with the outlandish outfits including some people were purposeful missing portions of their outfits. I saw more naked breasts than I needed too. I feel like nudity or as close as that as you can see, doesn't really have anything to do with having pride in yourself. That seems more like an act to attract attention which rather misses the focal point of the days events. You can have fun and be creatively dressed without crossing a line, though I have see much worse on any given average day taking the subway.
The parade had long periods of pausing which I hear is not the norm but there were some big highlights.
For starters towards the end there was Kelly Osbourne!! I have seen online that Kelly has since blamed Starbucks for wetting her pants after they refused to let her use the restroom. Starbucks has said that that location did not have one. Either way I totally sympathize and that crowd couldn't have been more excited to see her.
There were an assortment of groups that proceeded Ms. Osbourne individual in their own ways. I found the group that held up signs of trans victims of violence especially moving. There was the collection of signs depicting our current President and his cabinet members with some choice phrases over their mouths. There were those, like the myself and the gentleman behind me who saw that and replied with a chanting of Secretary Clinton’s name. Then there was the best sign of all!! It read: “Make America Great Britain Again”. Now that was pure genius.
There was also a politician portion which included Governor Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Bill de Blasio, and Senator Chuck Schumer.
At around three I broke for a bite and a rest at the Waverly Restaurant around the corner which is a great local spot. Many others had the same thought.
From there I then had the strength to return to the festivities passing near the Stonewall Inn and then going for a drink at Barrow’s Pub. That was great fun. It was dark inside but relatively cool. It was packed but playing great music that reminded me of a college bar I used to go to.
But what took the cake was this man that worked there, who I could have sworn I saw on an episode of Dateline or surely will soon, holding up a flashlight on those brave enough to sing and dance on a table for their fifteen minutes of fame. Those folks were great fun to watch but I was so sure one of them was going to fall and break their neck. Luckily no-one did while I was there.
Across the street was a deli were I managed to satisfy my craving for fries. All and all for me is was a great day filled with pride, love, and happiness.
In other Governor Cuomo news, he also announced on Sunday that the plans for an LGBTQ monument are finally under way. It will be placed in the Hudson River in the Greenwich Village section of NYC. The artist is Anthony Goicolea and the monument will have nine boulders with pieces of borosilicate glass so that when the light hits it will create a series of rainbows. There is currently no estimated completion date but naturally that will be added to next my to do list.
Another thing on my schedule next year is to celebrate pride in another city. I am thinking maybe LA! See you all there.

A lottery is a random draw in which prizes are given to winners. These can be financial or non-financial. They may also be a means of raising funds for a good cause. Examples include a lottery to win units in subsidized housing or a lottery for kindergarten placements at public schools.
Lotteries are a form of gambling that is legal in many jurisdictions. They are a popular activity in the United States. The odds of winning the lottery are very low, but they can be fun to play.
The History of Lotteries
In many countries, there is a long tradition of holding lottery draws as a way of raising funds for a project or building. In the colonial era, lotteries were used to fund roads, libraries, colleges, canals, and bridges. They were also used to finance fortifications and militia. In 1776, the Continental Congress voted to establish a lottery as a way to raise money for the American Revolution.
Privately organized lotteries were also common in England and the United States, as were commercial promotions where goods or property are offered for more than they would cost if sold at a regular market. They were also used to raise funds for religious and charitable causes.
Some modern lotteries are based on a system of distributing numbers or symbols that are then entered into a pool for the chance of being selected. The bettor writes his name on the ticket and stakes a certain amount of money for a chance to win a prize. The bettor then waits for the drawing or the result of shuffling to see if he has won.
The odds of winning a lottery vary from state to state, and they depend on several factors including the size of the jackpot and the number of people who participate. However, in the United States, the odds of winning the lottery are remarkably low.
A lot of people think that they can win big by buying a lottery ticket. They are tempted by the fact that they can invest only $1 or $2 and potentially win hundreds of millions of dollars. The risk-to-reward ratio is attractive, but they should keep in mind that they are contributing billions of dollars to the government receipts that could be better spent on retirement, college tuition, or other investments.
In most cases, the winner can choose to have his or her winnings paid out in a lump sum or annuity. The annuity option is usually more expensive than the lump sum and is subject to income taxes.
One way to improve the odds of winning is to buy more tickets. But buying more tickets will only improve your chances of hitting the jackpot if you do win.
There are also a variety of strategies for selecting the numbers to play. You can use a random number generator or pick numbers that have personal meaning to you. You can also choose numbers that are not close together, as other players will be less likely to select them. | <urn:uuid:da897dd8-7066-42ed-9aa4-a906f4abfef7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.therevoltingsyrian.com/the-odds-of-winning-a-lottery/ | 2023-10-04T19:36:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.981759 | 590 |

So, you've decided you want to make some modifications to your bath room.

Thankfully, this little guide will give you an easy way of finding the perfect en suite bathroom design to integrate into your family life. We'll take you through design ideas for anything from a small space to a loft conversion, as well as ensuite bathroom ideas designed to give your ensuites a modern bathroom feel; complete with a glass panel and subway tile detail.
You might be wondering, however, where do I even start to look for en-suite bathroom ideas? Whether you're looking for master bathrooms ideas to tack onto your master bedroom, or you just want bathroom suggestions for a smaller en-suite bathroom, here's all you need to know.
What is an en-suite bathroom?
Before you have a look for some design tricks for your ensuite bathroom, recommended by the likes of everyone's favourite Queer Eye guy, Bobby Berk, let's take a look at just what an en-suite bathroom is.
When we hear 'ensuite bathroom', it's not uncommon to think of a hotel, or travel. However, you can get an ensuite bathroom right in your own home. The word 'en-suite' comes from French, literally meaning 'in the room'.
An ensuite is therefore a bathroom that is attached directly to the bedroom, allowing for private access. It usually includes your basic elements, i.e. bathroom, shower, toilet, and also tends to have a bathroom vanity.
Most interior design experts have many shower room recommendations and ensuite bathroom ideas for your home.
Small Bathroom Suite Ideas
From wall tiles to the shower area, to a swanky window trim, your bathroom remodel deserves the best in order to give your en-suites the best that bathroom trends have to offer. No matter your search type or priorities, we've got everything you need to kit out your small shower room or ensuite bathroom here at bellabathrooms.co.uk.
En-suite bathroom ideas can range from modern to vintage, from a glass shower door to sleek shower enclosures. The best modern en-suite bathroom ideas ensures that everybody can have the most indulgent bath room suite, even in the smallest space. Space-saving designs tend to take the lead, with lots of manufacturers offering 'compact' ranges of ensuite bathroom ideas.
Designing an en-suite can be just as important a case-study as designing a good home office. So, here's what we recommend for smaller shower room ensuite suggestions:
- Have a good grasp of your available bathroom space- this will help any interior designer to give your storage ideas, such as a storage unit. We've all seen Marie Kondo on Netflix - the key to a zen space is space-saving design solutions.
- Know what you want- do you want a bath and shower, or just one or the other? Knowing this will give you easy inspiration to look for products in your home renovation that suit the style and space of your bathroom interiors.
Here are our key suggestions for smaller ensuite organisation:
Master Bathroom Ideas
Just like the smaller bathrooms, we have some tips for your search for a master bath-room design.
- Aesthetics are key - you'll want to ensure that your style of bath-room suits the rest of your house. Whether you're after a coastal ensuite bathroom that reminds you of the French Riviera, or you want a matte black bold statement packed with textural paradise and other design details, straight from Adore Home Magazine... for the interiors addict, there needs to be a consideration of these things.
- Free or fixed bath- one of the most popular design features of the swankiest master bath-rooms, nowadays, is the existence of free-standing bathtubs. These products will offer a sense of high-class luxury, whether your design is more minimalist or out-there. The materials, paint colour, and lighting of your bath room can all affect how you'd like to style your baths. A free-standing design can be a real focal point of your ensuite vision.
Here are our key suggestions for master en-suite organisation:

Honda Used VR to Design the Prologue and Pilot TrailSport
It’s easy to pile on with criticism of the metaverse and Mark Zuckerberg’s ridiculous virtual reality fantasies, but there are plenty of practical uses for the technology. Honda used VR to continue pushing forward with vehicle design during the pandemic.
Honda said its engineers and designers used VR to design the new 2024 Prologue EV and 2023 Pilot TrailSport. The technology allowed teams to collaborate without being in the same place and helped enable quick, responsive updates to feedback. Clay modeling is likely a lot more fun in VR than sitting in a Zoom meeting in your home office, and it allowed the team to make endless revisions without fear of ruining an expensive and time-consuming physical model. The automaker said it doesn’t want to remove humans from the process altogether, so we won’t see CR-Vs and Civics designed in the metaverse anytime soon.
Honda developed the Prologue in partnership with GM. The EV will ride on General Motors’ Ultium platform. We don’t have many details on the vehicle yet, but Honda said it will go on sale in early 2024. Spy shots show a vehicle strikingly close in size and appearance to the Chevy Blazer EV, so there’s a good chance the specs will be similar.

Apple Pay now supports American Express customers in Canada, making the country the third region after the US and the UK to get access — albeit it limited — to the mobile payments service. The news, reported first by MacRumors, comes a day after American Express confirmed the launch date to tech site iPhone in Canada.
As it stands, Apple Pay is limited to American Express in Canada because no other banks or credit card companies, some of which are working on competing mobile payments services, have struck deals with the company. Apple first confirmed plans to bring Apple Pay to Canada — as well as Australia, Hong Kong, Spain, and Singapore — on an earnings call last month. The service may launch in Australia with American Express as early as later this week, according to a report today from Financial Post.
Apple is working to add more banks to speed up adoption
Canadians interested in trying Apple Pay should now be able to do so within the Wallet app on iPhones running iOS 9.1. An "Add Credit or Debit card" option will let you scan or manually enter the information from an American Express card and begun using your iPhone to pay at locations like McDonald's, Tim Hortons, and other retailers with NFC-equipped point-of-sale terminals.
Only American Express cards issued directly from the company will work for now, leaving out cards issued in partnership with other non-participating banks. Apple is reportedly in talks to add support for the Royal Bank of Canada, TD Canada Trust, Scotiabank, Bank of Montreal, CIBC, and National Bank of Canada, according to an April report from The Wall Street Journal.

Ayelle‘s newest effort “Mind and Body” is as sultry as they come. The Swedish-Iranian has been on a musical run as he drops music every month for her eager listeners. The track is again produced by my go-go producer Maths Time Joy (Mahalia, Gallant) who helps craft a downtempo, entrancing backdrop laced with atmospheric textures and sparse arrangement that allows Ayelle’s honeyed vocals to really shine bright.

It’s one thing for a movie to leave you wanting a sequel and quite another to make you wish you were watching that sequel instead. “Fantastic Four” — the second attempt by Fox and the third by Hollywood in general to bring Marvel Comics’ popular superteam to the big screen — offers glimmers of good things to come in its final moments, but only after the audience has slogged through yet another dispiriting origin story and yet another Earth-rescuing battle in a bland, CG-created nowhere land.
Director Josh Trank, whose debut feature “Chronicle” put a smart new spin on superhero tropes, has assembled a quartet of engaging, charismatic performers and stranded them in a miasma of exposition and set-up that sinks the movie. So much time is spent putting the pieces on the board that there’s barely any time to play with them.
In 2007, boy genius Reed Richards (Owen Judge) tries creating a teleportation device with the help of his best friend Ben Grimm (Evan Hannemann), whose family junkyard makes a great source of spare parts. They teleport a toy car to parts unknown, with only some sand and rocks returning in its place. Seven years later, teenage Reed (Miles Teller) and Ben (Jamie Bell) repeat the experiment at a school science fair; this time their object comes back, although somewhat the worse for wear.
Their teacher scoffs at the device as a magic trick, but it attracts the attention of Dr. Franklin Storm (Reg E. Cathey from “House of Cards,” all gravelly gravitas) and his adopted daughter Sue (Kate Mara), who have been pursuing similar research. That sand, they inform Reed, comes not from some other location on Earth but from another dimension. Dr. Storm gets Reed a full scholarship at the Baxter Institute so that they can complete a larger version of the teleporter.
Joining them in the lab is Victor Von Doom (Toby Kebbell, “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes”), a sulky-loner genius, and Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan), Franklin’s hot-headed but brilliant son, who would rather drag-race than bend the laws of time and space. They succeed at teleporting a chimp to the other dimension, known as “Planet Zero,” and back, but when Baxter higher-up Dr. Allen (Tim Blake Nelson) makes noises about handing the tech over to NASA, Victor, Johnny and Reed decide that they, and not some glory-hogging astronaut, should be the first to make the leap, and Reed insists that Ben join them.
So yes — Sue doesn’t even get to go in the spaceship this time. And at this point, we’re only about a third of a way into the plot, which also involves Mountain-Dew-CGI-lava energy from Planet Zero, the military using our heroes for the superpowers they gain from the dimensional leap, Reed going fugitive, and Victor transmogrifying into a destroyer of worlds.
Once we get to the inevitable showdown — rubber-limbed Reed, disappearing Sue, pyrotechnic Johnny and rock-covered Ben versus metal-encased, energy-manipulating Victor — it’s too little, too late. The big finale, for all its inevitability, at least offers some hope of excitement, but by that time, it’s all too easy to have checked out of “Fantastic Four.”
If the screenplay by Trank, Simon Kinberg (“X-Men: Days of Future Past”) and Jeremy Slater (“The Lazarus Effect”) wanted to eschew superheroics in favor of character development, they wound up bringing neither to the table; it’s only the inherent charm of the lead actors that make these otherwise archetypal cardboard characters of any interest. The first half of “Fantastic Four,” with its bright junior scientists and their shadowy, nefarious backers, calls to mind the ’80s comedy “Real Genius,” only without any of the humor or charm or eccentricity. That was a movie that knew how to make smart young people delightfully odd and unique; the ones we get here are randomly assigned one or two personality traits each. (If that — poor Ben spends much of the film off-screen and un-commented-upon.)
Not helping matters is the sheer ugliness of the final battlefield; the digital fakery is so very obvious that it’s difficult to engage with their surroundings as an actual place. To its credit, the movie does a fine job of portraying Reed’s stretching, Ben’s craggy body and Sue’s force field. (Johnny, alas, suffers from having a very cartoony face when his flames are on.)
With all this tedious Tinkertoy origin-story business out of the way, there could certainly be some entertaining “Fantastic Four” adventures in the future with this ensemble. Whether or not audiences will want to gamble another 100 minutes of their lives on subsequent chapters, however, is another matter entirely. | <urn:uuid:635fcb0b-9d9f-414a-a63f-d47a83f05ea1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.thewrap.com/fantastic-four-review-marvel-mcu-michael-b-jordan-kate-mara-miles-teller/ | 2023-10-04T19:46:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.939147 | 1,095 |

By Ashly Moore Sheldon • April 26, 2022
The first week in May is Children's Book Week, an annual event promoting childhood literacy. As we all know, reading with young children expands their imagination and introduces them to new concepts, ideas, language, and experiences. To celebrate, we enlisted OnePoll to survey 2,000 Americans about their favorite childhood books. And we got a pretty sweet story out of it too! Here are some of the primary lessons we learned.
For many of us, the comfort and joy of storytime represents some of our most cherished memories, whether as children or as adults, with our own kids. More than half of Americans surveyed said that reading their favorite childhood books transports them back to those formative years—including 62% of people over 77 years old! When asked which kid's books they've picked up again in adulthood, some of the top choices included:
"At the far end of town where the Grickle-grass grows and the wind smells slow and sour when it blows." Do you recognize these lines? Our survey found that half of the respondents said they can still recite their favorite childhood books word for word. When asked to name their most treasured and memorable reads, popular choices included:
Poll-takers said that what they loved most about reading as a child was imagining that the fictional characters and worlds were real. Truth be told, many of us became quite attached to the characters in our favorite books. Specific figures that people named as especially relatable included:
Beyond just learning, reading can contribute to our values and ethos. Popular books from certain eras become a part of the zeitgeist for entire generations of people. In our polling, we asked people what character traits they most identified with from their childhood books. Topping the list were adventurous (52%), kind (50%), and loving (48%).
We were somewhat surprised to learn that men were more likely than women to relate to generous characters (42% vs. 32%). Meanwhile, millennials were much more likely than Gen X to relate to characters who are brave (52% vs. 38%), generous (45% vs. 29%) and loyal (47% vs. 33%). One-third of those surveyed said they related most to children's book characters who looked like them.
Books teach us valuable life lessons. According to respondents, the most important of these were to always be friendly, that every living thing has feelings, to laugh at your mistakes, and to be true to yourself.
Our take: "Literature can be both an escape and a powerful educational tool. Our results show books are often the first place where people learned about such concepts as kindness, honesty, sharing, cooperation, and bullying."
Our experiences in childhood set the stage for the rest of our lives. More than seven in ten of those surveyed (73%) said their parents read to them at bedtime, with an average of five books each night. According to 69% of Americans, reading books as a child helped them learn to appreciate literature more in adulthood.
Our take: "Books clearly play an important role during the childhood years and have a lasting effect into adulthood. As we head into summer, it is important for children to find fun incentives to continue reading. Reading challenges can include incentives for both students and adults to pick up more books during the summer months. Adults can also keep the joy of reading alive by exploring fresh takes on familiar classics."
Here are some of our latest recommendations for the kids in your life:
As always, we love hearing from you. So let us know if you have any thoughts on what our survey revealed in the comments or on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram where we share daily book recommendations, literary tidbits, and more. | <urn:uuid:7206467c-b268-4683-aac3-6b422542bc80> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.thriftbooks.com/blog/childrens-books-survey/ | 2023-10-04T21:19:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.975647 | 762 |
[retrogaming] The boy behind the biggest coin-op conversion of the 80s … A look at how a british teenager converted the arcade game Outrun to the Commodore 64 in 1987. ‘It seemed that the 17-year-old in the room had a prototype of just what US Gold needed – and this was around Eastertime, giving them months to get the game ready for Christmas 1987. “Geoff took me into a side room where there sat an OutRun arcade machine. He said ‘Martin you can do this right? You can convert this to the C64?’ I was gobsmacked. Within an hour the lawyers and my dad had made a contract and that’s how I landed my first conversion. The upfront fee was about £20k. That was a lot of cash back in 1987.”‘

Volume 8 Chapter 14 Hakuryuu Aiko, The Prince I had Imagine
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”No way, Euris…”
I froze as I read the message sent by Euris.
[I’m sorry! I have to go home now! Aiko, enjoy your date with Shiro-san!]
No, no, no, no! What do you mean, ‘I’m sorry’? There’s no way I can enjoy it now!
”Oh no, what should I do?”
Ever since that day when Aqua-kun, Euris, and I decided to have dinner together, my life had become incredibly hectic. I bought new clothes, got nail care and esthetic treatments I never usually do, even changed my shampoo to one with a nicer scent. It was all in vain, I knew, but just to be safe, I made an effort in the past few days to look my best.
”Am I okay? Am I weird?”
I checked my reflection in the mirror at the hotel’s lounge where we were supposed to meet. Today’s outfit was a shirt-type dress, simple high-heeled boots, and a mini shoulder bag. Yeah, I had it all picked out by the Fuji Department Store staff, so it should be fine. Speaking of that Fuji store clerk, she seemed to know that I was Hakuryuu Aiko and that I was going on a date with Aqua-kun next time. Could it be…?
I turned my gaze toward the voice, and there stood Aqua-kun in a slightly casual jacket style. Not too stiff, but not too casual either – he effortlessly pulled off a cool look. I had thought the same when he was Yuujin-sama, but was he really still only sixteen? Why did a high school student exude so much charm? And his scent was so much better than ours, female body odor was nothing compared to him. His real-life appearance even surpassed that of 2D boys. I couldn’t help but wonder about his mom, who brought him into this world.
”Sorry, did you wait long?”
”N-No, I just… arrived.”
Wait, is this okay? Is this the right response? I thought maybe it would be okay to arrive early, but did I make him feel uncomfortable? I was spinning these thoughts in my head. Ahhh! I’ve never been on a date before, so I don’t know!
”Haha, why are you using honorifics, Aiko-chan… I mean, Hakuryuu-sensei.”
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh! A-A-A-Aiko-chan!? I was momentarily flustered by Aqua-kun’s surprise attack.
”Uh, I-I mean, Aiko-chan…”
Wait a minute! Hakuryuu Aiko!! Do you even know what you’re saying? I need to cover this up! I can still recover from this!
”Uh, well… today is a celebration with Shiro-kun.”
Hey! That’s not it! Not that!
”I see… I got it! So today, it’s Aiko-chan!”
Ah, unfair! Aqua-kun might look mature, but he’s making me lose my composure. Actually, I’ve already lost it… it’s not even worth discussing anymore.
”Sorry about today. I thought meeting outside would attract too much attention, so I chose this place because it’s convenient for me. Anyway, it’s about time. Shall we go?”
Ugh, I should be the one leading, not the younger Aqua-kun! I’m such a mess… This is the image of a woman who has protected her maidenhood all these years. Ugh, saying it out loud makes me sad.
Aqua-kun and I got on the elevator at the hotel and headed to the upper floor.
What is it? Could it be that I smell bad? Elevators are enclosed spaces, and if there’s a weird smell… what should I do?
”Your hairstyle has changed, hasn’t it? It was great when we met before, but today’s hairstyle looks lovely too.”
Huh? Unexpected words caught me off guard, and I momentarily had a blank expression. Uh, um, I need to continue the conversation…
”Uh, um… Well, today we’re having dinner at the hotel, so I thought I’d change my clothes. H-How do I look?”
”Yeah, today’s outfit suits you very well. You went through the trouble of dressing according to the place we’re having dinner. Thank you. I’m starting to worry that standing next to you, Aiko-chan, makes me look too childish.”
Huh? Is he trying to flirt… Wait, wait, wait! Wait, Shirogane Ai, no, Hakuryuu Ai! Dangerous! What’s this about Shirogane Ai? I was skipping straight to marriage in my fantasies… Aqua-kun’s advances have been relentless ever since we were alone in the elevator. Real-life guys don’t compliment hairstyles and outfits like that, and they don’t say thank you, right? Is Shumi-san really enduring this every day? Unbelievable! Or maybe Aqua-kun is saying the same things to others like me, not just Shumi-san. Do the girls around Aqua-kun always put up with this? Well, if he ever tried anything, it would probably be impossible anyway. I sneak a glance at Aqua-kun.
”Hmm? Is something wrong?”
”N-No, it’s nothing.”
I casually brushed it off and then glanced at Aqua-kun again. Aqua-kun was taller than me, had muscles from his neck to his chest, and was fundamentally different from a girl in various ways. It felt like any girl who approached him would easily succumb to his presence, an instinctual response as a living being. And it was all thanks to that intoxicating scent that made me slightly unsteady on my feet… Ah, that’s why everyone just watches from a distance. I see, I see… it’s impossible. It really is. The perfect boy in my head was gone in an instant. And Aqua-kun in front of me keeps updating that image all by himself. No one can stop him now. Haha… While I was thinking about such silly things, the elevator arrived at our destination.
”Welcome. You must be Shirogane-sama. Allow me to show you to your table.”
Wow, it’s really high up… I’ve been taken to fancy places by the publishing house’s editor-in-chief before, but I don’t usually go to places like this on my own. Don’t worry; while I may not be sure, I trust Fuji’s staff’s choice of outfit. So, I believe in that!!
”Aqua-kun, are you used to places like this?”
Seated at the counter, I discreetly asked Aqua-kun.
”I haven’t been to places like this very often either. So I’m a little nervous. But today, Euris said she wanted to eat Wagyu beef, so since we’re at a hotel, I thought we should go to a nice place. It’s a shame Euris couldn’t make it…”
When I asked that, Aqua-kun smiled gently.
”In that case, let’s eat lots of delicious food together today. And afterward, we can brag to Euris.”
Wow, that’s cheating. His smile and everything. If I were still a teenager, I would have misunderstood a hundred times by now. By the way, do boys typically have dinner at a hotel with a girl? Isn’t this an invitation for something more in the room afterward? If Euris were here, she’d probably ask straightforwardly if we were going to have a thre*some.
”Here’s the Chestnut and Pumpkin Grated Soup.”
I have no idea about the taste… Well, it’s delicious, but I don’t have the luxury to savor it properly.
”It’s delicious, isn’t it?”
”Yeah, it is.”
Next came the Egg Tofu with Sea Urchin and Chicken Soboro on top, Grilled Eggplant and Shrimp with Akadashi Glaze, and Autumn Sea Bream with Kombu-Shime and Chrysanthemum Leaves with Salt Ponzu.
Of course, everything was delicious! Don’t expect me to be a food critic; I don’t usually eat such fancy dishes!
”Is this the Akadashi Glaze? It’s delicious. Who would have thought plain grilled eggplant could be so refined…”
”Uh, yeah, it’s true.”
Wait, have I been saying “uh” and “yeah” too much lately? Come on, as a writer, I should show more variation in my responses! Also, I wonder if Aqua-kun bringing up grilled eggplant is some sort of metaphor for something? Like, reserving a hotel room after this? No, it can’t be that, right? Please, someone explain… I’m a hopeless virgin who has never played this kind of romantic game in her life…
”Wrapped in the leftover sea bream, this dish features mushrooms seasoned with conger eel broth and topped with yuzu.”
I glance at Aqua-kun next to me, who is using chopsticks with great finesse. Wow… I’ve heard that many boys have terrible chopstick skills, but Aqua-kun handles them with such grace, like he’s a master of etiquette.
”Aqua-kun, you’re really skilled with chopsticks.”
”Oh… Aiko-chan, do you know the drama I appeared in on Monday nights?”
I nod my head. Well, everyone knows about that one. Even the female chef cooking in front of the counter and the staff in the hall were all nodding. Wait, is anyone listening to our conversation? Well, it can’t be helped; we’re in a fancy hotel. But as much as I am in this position, I’m curious about what Aqua-kun is saying.
”By the way, did you know that Kohina-san, who co-starred with me in that drama, once said, ‘Even if you’re suddenly asked to play a high-class character, if you show discomfort with details like how you use chopsticks, you’re considered third-rate. That’s why I’m taking you to nice places. It can also be helpful when you have roles as a chef or a waiter.’ That’s why she took me to these places quite a bit. I’ve been trying to be careful ever since. Kohina-san also said that eating fried chicken and potato fries at a banquet scene is a sign that the work is over. Haha…”
No way… Kohina Yukari-san, known as the biggest man-hater in the industry, known for being so difficult, is actually looking after Aqua-kun like a senior. That means, as an actor, Aqua-kun has been acknowledged by Kohina Yukari-san herself. Aqua-kun is amazing…
”By the way, the script for that Monday night drama is by Tsukasa-sensei, right? Have you met her?”
Aqua-kun shakes his head in response to my question.
”In fact, I’ve never met Sensei either. Aiko-chan, haven’t you met Sensei?”
”Yeah, but it seems Sensei doesn’t attend author gatherings or events. Besides, there’s a difference between a light novel author like me and a serious writer like her… Ahaha.”
Authors like me, who write light novels, have a different circle of acquaintances. Of course, most people are friendly regardless, but there are some who look down on us, so I usually keep my distance unless they approach me. It’s just safer that way. Oh… What should I do? I’m feeling a bit blue now, even though I’m having dinner with Aqua-kun.
”By the way, Sensei’s work hasn’t been adapted into live-action?”
”Is that about No-Rin?”
”No-Rin? Oh, it’s an abbreviation for ‘Nouka’ (agriculture) and ‘Uchuu ichi kakkoii otoko no ko ga rinjin deshita’ (The coolest boy in the universe was my neighbor) once he took over the farm.”
Oh nooooooo! My work’s name just came out of A-A-A-A-Aqua-kun’s mouth!
”Do you know it?”
”It’s a work I write…”
”Of course, I do, Aiko-chan, no, sensei…”
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute! Ugh, what’s this uncomfortable feeling? It’s not like I’m ashamed of the work I write, but it’s embarrassing that Aqua-kun knew about it. Is everything okay? If he says something negative, I might never recover…
”Seeing the protagonist Hatoko struggling with her first attempt at farming, I can’t help but feel energized. There are relaxing stories, touching moments, exciting developments, and occasionally, the neighboring boy is great too. I’m looking forward to the next volume that will be released.”
Oh, I’m so happy… Simply happy… Aqua-kun, that Aqua-kun, is actually reading my work. It feels like all the hard work I’ve done so far has paid off. I definitely have to contact the editors when I get back and have a celebratory beer together.
”Aiko-chan, if it ever gets adapted into a drama, let me know. I’ll audition for the role of the neighboring boy.”
No, no, no! There’s no need for an audition; if Aqua-kun says he’ll do it, it’s already decided by unanimous consent! As the original author, I will strongly support it!! Wow, I’m already thinking that coming here today was worth it. I’m almost in tears!!
After discussing No-Rin, Aqua-kun and I enjoyed one more dish, savoring the tenderness of the finest Wagyu beef as our main course. The conversation continued, and we discussed topics like Nourin, CreamRAW Cup, Euris, and various other subjects.
”Ah, welcome back.”
Seeing Aqua-kun return from the restroom, I also start preparing to leave. Our enjoyable time has come to an end. If only I hadn’t been so nervous in the beginning and had initiated more conversation…
”Shall we head out?”
I take my wallet out of my bag. Even if it’s just this, I’ve got the money covered! I thought, all motivated. But for some reason, the bill hasn’t come to us yet… Huh? Why?
”The payment has already been taken care of by Shirogane-sama. So, there’s no need to worry, Hakuryuu-sensei.”
The staff’s sister kindly whispered to me as I looked puzzled. Huh? Wait a minute, has the payment already been made? Was the trip to the restroom earlier for that purpose? Or maybe, when I went to the restroom earlier, he had already paid? Wow… Aqua-kun is so cool that my jaw dropped wide open like Morikawa-san’s.
”Um, thank you. Actually, even though I’m older, I should be the one paying.”
”Don’t worry about it, Aiko-chan. I invited you, so let me show off a bit.”
No, you don’t have to show off any more… thinking that would be so uncool. From start to finish, Aqua-kun has been so cool, I don’t know what to do.
”The food was really delicious. Let’s brag to Euris later.”
In the elevator, Aqua-kun moves closer to me. Wait! Well, it’s not like I have to wait, but I need some mental preparation for this…
”Aiko-chan, let’s take a selfie and smile.”
Aqua-kun leans in close to my face and takes a selfie with his smartphone.
”Let’s send this picture to Euris. She’ll probably envy us for how tender the Wagyu was, right?”
”Come on, don’t be mean. Hehe.”
Seeing Aqua-kun’s mischievous side and his carefree smile, I couldn’t help but think he’s still quite young. That’s right; I’m more than a decade older… So, this dreamlike time is coming to an end. As we exit the elevator, we walk through a not-so-busy hallway on the hotel’s first floor.
”Next time, let’s come here with the three of us.”
I should say yes, but I freeze in place.
Aqua-kun realizes there’s no response and turns back to me. That’s when, for some reason, I move closer to Aqua-kun and gently place my hand on his chest.
”Would you mind… being alone with me?”
Taking one more step forward, I look up at Aqua-kun with a questioning gaze. Aqua-kun, looking slightly surprised, quickly averts his gaze from me, seemingly embarrassed.
”It’s not like I mind, but… I have a wife.”
”Because you have a wife?”
What does he mean by that? Is it because of Shumi-san? Is Aqua-kun being controlled by Shumi-san or something?
Certainly, in this world, there are people with multiple wives, and there are those who adhere to monogamy for various reasons. But Aqua-kun’s response somehow felt different from that.
”Wait, Aiko-chan, no, Hakuryuu-sensei! W-We’re too close! Too close!!”
Unconsciously, I had pressed my body so close to Aqua-kun that my chest was touching him. This is bad. It’s just like Chijou. It’s no different from a r*pist. I panicked and tried to move away, but my feet got caught in the high-heeled boots I’m not used to wearing. As a result, I unintentionally pressed my body even closer to Aqua-kun, and that’s when I noticed a certain change in a certain part of his body.
Aqua-kun quickly blushed as if he had noticed my realization. Hey, Aqua-kun, I’m more than a decade older than you, you know? Yet, you reacted like this when pressed against by an old lady like me? I can certainly tell what this stiffened thing touching my body is. So, I realized that Aqua-kun is consciously aware of me as a woman. Now that I’ve noticed, I couldn’t just give up. My feminine instincts awakened something in my dormant heart.
”Aqua-kun, do you not want any other wives?”
This reaction… Could it be that Aqua-kun doesn’t know about polygamy? Boys typically learn about this as part of s*x education during elementary or middle school, but did Aqua-kun skip that part? Or maybe he didn’t take those lessons seriously? It’s hard to imagine considering Aqua-kun’s personality, but that’s the only explanation I can think of. Boys tend to avoid s*x education classes in high school, and there might not even be such classes in the first place. Perhaps Aqua-kun was a hikikomori during his earlier school years? It’s still hard to imagine, but considering that Shirogane Aqua didn’t exist in the world until he turned 16, it could be possible.
”Aqua-kun, boys can have as many wives as they want, you know? It’s absolutely forbidden for girls to cheat, both in society and legally. But boys, they don’t even have a concept of cheating.”
That’s right, so…
”If Aqua-kun likes me even a little, then I…”
”Stop! Aiko-chan! Hakuryuu-sensei! Please wait!!”
Aqua-kun held my shoulders and separated my tightly pressed body from his.
”I’m sorry for reacting like that. But, please wait! I also hadn’t properly investigated this, and I want to discuss it with Kanon. And, um… I don’t want to do things like manipulating girls just for se*ual desire.”
Manipulate for se*ual desire…? I still felt something very unsettling about Aqua-kun’s response. Clearly, there was something fundamentally different between me and, well, everyone else in this world.
”Aqua-kun, maybe… No, it’s nothing. Alright, I understand. I’ll give up for today. But, well, this is how I feel. I may be an old lady like me saying such things might make you feel uncomfortable, but I like Aqua-kun as the opposite s*x…”
With any other man, I might have been laughed at or scorned, but Aqua-kun had listened to my story seriously until the end. Moreover, he had genuinely considered it.
”I understand. To be honest, when a beautiful and wonderful woman like Hakuryuu-sensei says something like that to me, it makes me happy. Sensei is such an attractive woman… But I want to cherish my time with Kanon right now… So, that’s why…”
That’s enough! I thought, and on impulse, I pressed my lips against Aqua-kun’s lips.
My first kiss ever. I never thought it would happen like this, and to be frank, kissing someone without their clear consent is a crime in itself. Nevertheless, I couldn’t think of any other way to silence Aqua-kun’s words.
For a few seconds, our moist membranes touched intimately, and then I slowly pulled my lips away from Aqua-kun’s.
”I can’t refuse now… Aqua-kun, I’m still okay, and I have the confidence to give birth to a healthy baby in 1 or 2 years. So, please. I want you to do my best. This is surely Hakuryuu Aiko’s… no, it’s Shirasaki Ai’s first and last love. So please, won’t you give me a chance? You might think it’s strange for me to kiss you like that without permission… but would you please consider it?”
Oh, how unfair it must be. I thought that way, but even so, I didn’t want to let go of the delicate thread that had connected me and Aqua-kun.
”…I understand, Hakuryuu-sensei. I will also think about it carefully.”
”Thank you, Aqua-kun.”
I wanted to cry tears of joy, but I held back. It might seem unfair to do such a thing now, but when Aqua-kun and I are together, I want it to be real, not out of pity. That’s why I did it.
”Hakuryuu-sensei… no, Aiko-chan. Thank you for today.”
”Yeah, I’m the one who should apologize. See you…”
As I got into the taxi, I looked at my reflection in the car’s window and gently touched my lips with my fingertips.
I kissed… and it was with the person I love.
The tips of my fingers that touched my lips still carried his warmth.

The fiscal situation that is unfolding in the state of Louisiana is increasingly negative. Compounding the ongoing effects from the Great Recession are falling oil revenues, sagging tax coffers, and poor political decisions. These factors and others have left many communities virtually reeling.
This effect can be observed in places like Hammond. This small city about 40 miles east of Baton Rouge has a per capita income level of about $21,000 per year. At the same time, average rents are fast approaching $900 per month. When other necessary costs of living are deducted, it’s easy to deduce that the average resident may be finding it hard to save for the future.
The members of the regular banking system seem inured to the suffering of those at the lower end of the income spectrum, dealing mostly with those who can field superstar credit scores.
Luckily, there is another path available for those who need financial help, and it’s called a title loan. This cash advance is available to people who can produce a clear title to their vehicle. Here on the Title Loans Online site, visitors who need title loans in Hammond can rest assured that our main goal is to help them reach this aspiration.
The process for applying for online auto title loans here on the Title Loans Online site has been designed to provide visitors with a pleasant, hassle-free experience. Our reps always reach out to applicants, so the first item to take care of will be to place some basic contact info in the provided spaces. Email address, name, and phone number will all be useful.
Next, we’d like to get to know the vehicle that will be used as collateral during the course of the transaction. Mileage, make, year, and color should all be included. It’s important for clients to note that various vehicle types may be used for this purpose.
Once this is done, customers can expect to receive a lightning quick loan quote, detailing how much cash they’ve qualified for. Lastly, clients will receive calls from members of our title loan application department. During this conference, all remaining questions will be answered, and the deal set in motion.
The laws on the books concerning title loans in Louisiana are to the point. Individuals that bring along a clear, valid, and current title for the collateral vehicle can almost always expect to receive the requested funding. Payment time windows can vary from person to person, with some preferring quick turnarounds and others needing longer time schedules.
Title loans are known to offer certain concessions that the regular banks have a hard time matching. The following section will detail some of these.
The economy in Louisiana obviously continues to rest on shaky ground. The good news is, individuals here on the site who need title loans in Hammond to tide them over have made the right move.
Don’t worry about bad customer service, we want to help you with all your questions and title loan needs. Remember that you can always talk to our wonderful staff about any questions regarding title loans. That’s one of the great benefits of title loans, and don’t forget to read our article that highlights more benefits for you. | <urn:uuid:926302f6-2784-4506-9b9d-b0f9693b0abf> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.titleloansonline.com/locations/title-loans-hammond/ | 2023-10-04T19:38:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.954957 | 642 |
Hulk Hogan says he's been forced to change planes in Iceland after things went horribly wrong during the landing ... with his plane taking serious damage to the tires and brakes.
Hogan was on his way to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday with fellow WWE legend Jimmy Hart for the upcoming 'Crown Jewel' PPV event, when things hit a snag.
"Just had a really hard landing," Hulk said from the tarmac ... "blew out the tires and brakes have melted."
Hogan says the plane was grounded due to "all that crazy stuff happening" -- but says a friend of his from Minnesota who stopped at the same airport offered seats on his plane to get them to Riyadh.
We're working on trying to find out exactly what went wrong -- but as far as we know, Hulk and the rest of his passengers are expected to make it to Saudi Arabia in time for the event.
Hulk isn't wrestling at 'Crown Jewel' -- but he's selected a 5-man team to take on another 5 superstars hand-picked by Ric Flair.
Some of the stars on Team Hogan include Roman Reigns, Rusev and Mustafa Ali. Team Flair includes Randy Orton, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre. | <urn:uuid:e445118c-ef9f-4182-9bfb-a6a54789b6c3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://www.tmz.com/2019/10/29/hulk-hogan-plane-landing-video-wwe-crown-jewel-iceland-saudi-arabia/ | 2023-10-04T19:18:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.985503 | 261 |

I hope you are safe, well and keeping groceries stocked to prevent food scarcity from creeping in.
And speaking of this, I bet you can tell if you aren’t feeling secure with the food you have. It’s because:
We know we were meant for connection.
We want to feel accurate signals inside but the wires are jumbled because of overwhelm.
This is why not trusting our bodies with food is so scary and why running back to restriction (that causes us to constantly think about food and eat or not eat ) occurs.
How come we don’t do the thing (eat) we know we need to do?
Because we are afraid what we need (safety)won’t be there so we hold onto the misery we know.
We are not accustomed to slowing down and feeling/knowing the difference between the needs of the body and other sensations and then assume it’s too much.
Here is the simple hard thing to do about all of this.
Look around at the good you do have, where you are encouraged to be authentic and who is waiting for you to pick up the phone, type the text or send a picture.
It may not have always been the case but there are things/places/people who care that you do reach for what you need.
I care and am here. Others are here too. If you are needing a community away from the chaos and to get your questions answered , Peace with Food Group is available.
Don’t wait to reach for your needs to get met:

Light on the Mountain - The Story of LaSalette
By John S. Kennedy
Through his own research and readings, John S. Kennedy creates a fantastically visual and accurate profile that slowly transports the reader to the very day of the apparition. Our Lady reveled herself to two iron-willed, overworked, discarded, and uneducated shepherd children. In her choosing of them, she chose all of us, for these children, were, in essence, a mirror for what we all were and unfortunately continue to be.
