When cool, volt meter goes up to 14.5 or so. As air temp goes up it will drop. This morn at 80 degrees and high humidity it was 13.4. Previous new bat last fall only lasted 4 months. This new one starting to act same way.
Yellow wires hard wired. No short in alternator.
Would appreciate where to look next.

I have an 83 interstate hope my experience will help you and it took a while to figure out. The 3 yellow wires from the stator, they did not use a thick enough gauge wire , so they get hot and the weak point is the plug by the battery because it has metal in it and that gets even hotter and eventually melts or burns the plug a few years back I removed the plug and used some good wire connectors which also have metal in them , beginning of this season I saw on the amps gauge it charging once went on a long ride and it mostly read 11.9 Volts,I check the wiring harness from the stator at the battery and it was hot to the point the electrical tape was half melted and the wires were stuck together I separated the wires and still not charging I cut out the wire connectors and soldered in some heavier gauge wire just in the area of the plug about 4 inches of wire started it up and the charging went up to 13.9 and now it is charging properly also in the past I saw the gauge go to high on charging but now is working better than it has in years | <urn:uuid:300d2ac5-9929-4feb-a1b9-6ee944fb5f23> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://goldwingdocs.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=67360 | 2024-04-18T14:36:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.965327 | 343 |
“None of us knows what might happen even the next minute, yet still we go forward. Because we trust. Because we have Faith.” -Paulo Coelho
It’s easy to trust when life is giving us what we want, when our relationships are stable and communication flows. Leaning toward trust when our health is broken, our relationship connections are tattered and we can’t find the words to express our own needs is where trust becomes our capacity for resilience. In the moments when life is falling apart, when our best laid plans are dashed and lying in a heap of disappointment that we have the opportunity to grow more resilient. This deep inner work is one of the highest forms of love. It is the work that transforms us into our most authentic and compassionate selves.
I often tell my kids that life is first a problem solving adventure. Watching as they can easily become overwhelmed with life’s adversity has shown me time and again that the outcome often has less to do with the external life circumstances than what we bring to the challenge from inside. I have tried to teach them by example that what transforms all life challenges into something that makes us more whole is our capacity to not give ourselves away. This is a kind of radical trust, tapping your inner resilience, which keeps you present to the truth about yourself and doesn’t allow you to make the situation worse with a downward spiraling story line of victimization and blame.
Resilience, like love, is a skill that we all contain, like a seed of goodness that lets you befriend yourself when things go wrong. It is a form of self compassion that holds your back and encourages you to try again. Like love, it takes practice. Resilience encourages you to know and play to your strengths. We improve this skill in regular daily choices: by choosing foods that nourish instead of junk that fills, by spending time with people who appreciate you, instead of people who undermine, by giving our attention to things that spark our curiosity and desire to know instead of getting lost in negative storylines that surround us in the news and on Facebook.
Maybe the best reason to dedicate yourself to building your own muscles of resilience is because it is the only way to ensure living in resilient relationship. Many a valuable relationship has been abandoned because one or both of the partners did not have the ability to see beyond their shared adversity and hold onto the many gifts that were also present. Resilience becomes more powerful when it is shared just like love, the multiplier of having someone show up with true tenacity of spirit buoys even the darkest moments. All long-term loving relies on each partner’s ability to believe in a future that might not always be apparent.
This is the ultimate form of showing up for someone you love- having the courage to bear the disappointment of life together and the patience required to hold the discomfort and not make the situation worse by spinning it into a storyline that cements everyone’s pain. The most heroic stories we tell and the love stories that get passed on through centuries share this one truth that overcoming the odds of life with compassion, trust and faith is the only life worthy of our efforts. You have everything you need to write your own heroic tale: trusting life begins with building your muscle of resilience. | <urn:uuid:11b45194-2188-40b4-a7c6-02c1594e1eef> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://goodcleanlove.com/blogs/making-love-sustainable/building-resilience | 2024-04-18T13:15:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.961433 | 673 |
Recently there has been much talk about the refugees fleeing Syria. While some people are against the Syrians coming to their states or countries, we are all people. We should all do our best to help out anyone who is in need, you never know when you might need that help in return.
Campaign Against Banning Refugees
Almost half of the states have created a supposed ban against allowing refugees from Syria to enter their borders. Governors and other political leaders need to know that their voters want to help the Syrians and not keep them out. In addition, voters who have not been keeping up on the Syrian Crisis need to be brought into the issue.
A group called Mercy Corps has been instrumental in supporting the Syrian people. Most support groups stick to providing food and water, some also offer shelter. Mercy Corps goes beyond all of those. The group also offers activities for children, safe spaces, and sanitation. Mercy Corps relies on donations and volunteers so visit their website to see how you can best help out!
Around the world there are rehousing programs that are looking for people with family-sized rental properties. Although the exact requirements depend on the country you are in, typically you will need to be able to rent the property to refugees for several years at your local affordable housing rate. There are a variety of different ways to connect with Syrians looking for housing. In Germany you can use Refugees Welcome, a website similar to Airbnb.
Hire a Refugee
Refugees are not going to be leaving Syria with jobs or large amounts of money. They are going to need jobs to help transition into new lives around the world. You can help them out by offering jobs to them. Most programs that are bringing Syrian refugees to new countries do pay for housing, food, and airfare but they require that the refugees pay it back. Having a job allows the refugees to pay back their supporters and start a successful new life.
Be A Mentor
You may not be able to employee a Syrian refugee but they are coming to their new countries from an extremely different culture. They will need people to help mentor them on work life in their new countries and how to prepare and pass interviews. It doesn’t cost you anything but a little bit of time to help guide someone through a job interview or looking for a job.
The United Nations UNICEF agency is well known for providing aid to children around the world. UNICEF is helping Syrian children with all of the things that they need to live and continue to grow. Food, water, sanitation, healthcare, and even education is being provided. Back UNICEF to help the refugees.
Direct Medical Aid
Doctors Without Borders along with several other medical support non-profits are helping those in need in Syria. They can’t do it without financial support and the support of medical professionals. Donate to these organizations or volunteer with them to add aid that will save someone’s life.
The International Rescue Committee helps to provide guidance and support to refugees from the crisis in Syria. While a large majority of the Syrian refugee action for the IRC is in Greece there are many things you can do to support this agency around the world. You can donate money or volunteer with them to help Syrian people adapt to their new homes.
Spread The Word
There are many people who have only seen brief snippets about the Syrian Crisis. By spreading the word about the crisis and what people can do to help, you are helping to bring more people into the fold who can provide resources of many kinds. You don’t have to be rich to help refugees, spreading the word alone is a big help.
The Worldwide Tribe in Calais and many similar groups are working to document the struggles of the refugees. Supporting these groups helps not only to spread the word but to document what is happening for history. The Worldwide Tribe specifically makes short documentations of people who are at the Calais refugee camp.
You don’t need to be a millionaire, you don’t even need to be thriving to help out Syrian refugees. Donate your time, used items, or money to support people in crisis. | <urn:uuid:2863ce41-1544-48d2-81c9-026afd2df07a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://goodinternational.org/10-ways-to-help-syrian-refugees/ | 2024-04-18T13:38:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.973177 | 838 |

Does your current real estate website represent you well and project an image of professionalism and success?
And if you don't have a website, you need one.
Besides being very attractive, it must be easy to search, navigate and be extremely smart-phone friendy.
I maintain a daily updated database for the RANWW MLS area on a Microsoft SQL Server and store all required images. I will provide you with an impressive
web presence that meets all of your demands with the most hassle-free experience ever. People searching for a home know which websites provide them the best experience and those
are the sites they continually visit in their real estate search.
Below is a very basic example of a real estate site. It demonstrates the most important features; the search function and the property display. There are obviously many more
features that can be added and I will customize your site to your needs.
Take it for a spin using real-time listing data. The "Favorites" feature is disabled in this example. It also uses a one page display, which would not be the
case in production. Only 8 results will be returned on search in this example. | <urn:uuid:00c32952-a806-4f96-bd6a-cf55d173ed64> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://gowinter.com/RealEstate.aspx | 2024-04-18T13:43:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.946335 | 238 |
Chapter 1160: Consumer Treatment
After sending the kid off, Han Sen held Ji Yanran and spoke with her for a while.
“There’s a new aircraft in-store today. Would you like to go give it a try?” Ji Yanran said, as she drew invisible circles on Han Sen’s arm.
“An aircraft, huh? Is it better than my beetle?” Han Sen said.
“Ouch!” Han Sen exclaimed, after being bitten on the arm following his boast.
“Why are you biting me?” Han Sen asked.
“Are you going? Yes or no?” Ji Yanran asked, simply.
“Yes, of course I’ll go,” Han Sen confirmed.
The next morning, Han Sen brought Bao’er with him to the store Ji Yanran owned and operated. Her store was the biggest of its kind on Planet Roca. There were many high-cla.s.s aircraft on display in it.
The salesmen were all robots, though, and not a single human actually worked there.
“Wait for me here; the new aircraft is still in the warehouse. Let me go get it out.” Ji Yanran pa.s.sed Han Sen her bag and coat. Then, she went towards the control room.
Han Sen brought Bao’er to walk around with him, so they could check out their own store in full.
Very rarely did Han Sen make use of aircraft, and if he did, he’d usually used one that would take him to his destination without any effort on his part. As such, he wasn’t very interested in them.
But most men loved good, old-fas.h.i.+oned machines, and just seeing them there before him, Han Sen wanted to bring some home. Bao’er, by comparison, was flat-out uninterested. The only interest she had was in the employee-robots of the store.
“h.e.l.lo, young man. Could you help us, please?” As Han Sen observed an aircraft, an old couple approached them. They looked to be in slight distress and confusion.
“How can I help?” Han Sen didn’t mind lending a hand.
The man said, “We would like to purchase an aircraft, but we haven’t a clue what to choose. Could you help us in deciding, and perhaps provide us a few recommendations?”
Han Sen looked at them strangely, and he told them, “For information like that, you’d best ask the robots. They are more informed than I am on such a subject.”
The man, however, looked embarra.s.sed upon being given that answer. He said, “But we’ve never interacted with robots before; I have zero education on what to do with them. I would just like to see if there is a simple aircraft I can purchase for casual enjoyment. I just have no clue where to start.”
Han Sen was surprised to learn there were still people in the Alliance who did not have a clue about this sort of stuff. They had to be very old; otherwise, they’d have received the necessary education in school.
“If you two aren’t in a rush, I can consult my wife. She’s the owner, and thus, she knows a lot more. She can answer all your questions and then some,” Han Sen proposed.
“That sounds delightful. Thank you so much!” The couple were very happy, and until Ji Yanran showed up, they began to chat about other things.
The old couple seemed very polite, and subjects of conversation came easy to them.
Han Sen was able to learn they were both nearly three hundred years old, and they were natives to Planet Roca. They had never before left the planet.
There were more and more old people like them in the Alliance. They hadn’t been to the sanctuaries, but their lifespans were long. They owned a garden, and in their younger years, managed a pet store. They were very good at taming pets, apparently.
When people discovered the sanctuary, though, average pets were rarely wanted. Due to this, they had to shut down and keep all the pets for themselves.
The old man even told Han Sen he had trained creatures for people in the sanctuaries, though. Han Sen asked quite a few questions on this subject, and he was able to learn a lot.
When Ji Yanran returned, Han Sen introduced the old couple before handing them over. She then told them everything they needed to know and helped them in their decision-making.
When she figured out what the old couple were looking for, Ji Yanran picked out a few aircraft for them to try out.
They ended up selecting a model of aircraft called Cloud Crane. They thanked Han Sen and Ji Yanran a lot, telling them they were free to come and visit them whenever they wanted to.
“Do you know who they were?” Ji Yanran asked.
“No, I just met them today. Why? What is the problem?” Han Sen asked.
“You were born on Planet Roca; how could you not know them?” Ji Yanran looked at Han Sen queerly.
“Are they famous, then?” Han Sen truly did not recognize the couple.
Ji Yanran shook her head, telling him, “Well, the old couple themselves are not famous. Their son, however, is.”
“Who’s their son?” Han Sen asked.
“Have you learned about the Battle of Rekno?” Ji Yanran asked Han Sen.
“Yeah. It was the most important battle humanity ever fought upon entering the s.p.a.ce age. It laid the foundation for all we have managed to accomplish.” The battle was indeed very important, so much so, Han Sen still knew much about it.
“Do you remember there was a general who ran out of ammo? So he drove his s.h.i.+p into a s.h.i.+p belonging to the shura?” Ji Yanran asked.
“Wait… They cannot be Xu Henian’s parents!” Han Sen was shocked.
In the Rekno system, Xu Henian controlled the s.h.i.+p called Phoenix. He selflessly rammed his s.h.i.+p into the shura’s command s.h.i.+p and changed the entire tide of the battle. When the shura lost their primary battles.h.i.+p, their command was lost. It swiftly led to their fall. Humans were then able to take the system, and ever since, the Alliance had been strong and able to grow freely.
Xu Henian and the Phoenix, with its ten thousand soldiers, had been written as a tale of paramount importance for the development and future expansion of humanity.
By most of humanity, it was regarded as a great triumph. But for the families of Xu Henian and the ten thousand families caught in grief and mourning, it was a disaster.
Now, Han Sen was able to understand why they chose the s.h.i.+p Cloud Crane. | <urn:uuid:42ef112f-349d-4d45-89d7-e8ca2a4cbca2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://grapenovel.com/novel/chapter/supergene-twelvewingeddarkburningangelshieryiheianchitianshi/1160 | 2024-04-18T14:05:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.987245 | 1,596 |

Bill Belew has raised 2 bi-cultural kids, now 34 and 30. And he and his wife are now parenting a 3rd, Mia, who is 8.
My dad, one of the greatest people I know, is also one of the most stubborn and hard headed. After reading the post about the struggles of a family and a dad, i was inspired to share my story too and what/how i dealt to have a new outlook on life, generally different from the ones my friends had.
I was born in India, but even before my birth my dad lived outside of the country. Using the traditional model- my mom and dad got married,in an arranged marriage setting and I came into the world. But as soon i was born i was transported out of the country to see the sights and sounds of another one.
Many years we stayed together as a family, and in the process my brother was born too. but times change, and the only thing that is constant is change itself. We, as a family, moved back to India and continued to stay there for a few years, but this was about to change to.
My dad was never happy with what he did in India. Almost all his working life he had lived outside of India, and getting adjusted back to the conditions was something not everyone can easily do.
In a very few years, he decided to go back, but this time he was in a fix, we( his children) now were school worthy, and he always believed that education in India was way better( and cheaper) than outside of it. Plus we were all school worthy now, so shifting countries and places weren’t that easy anymore.
So my parents took the biggest step any parent can take. My father decided, he would live outside of India, where as we 3 would be in India.
When i was a kid, i was always proud of my dads work, and i was extremely proud to showoff to all my classmates that my dad works in a foreign land, i get to visit him 2 times a year. This carried on for many many years, almost as long as i finished high school.
Back then i was a kid, i dint know the difficulty and severity of the decision that my parents made for us. The sacrifices they made for us. I am now old enough to understand the pain a dad has to go through when he has to say goodbye to his wife and 2 children to live in a foreign land to earn some extra $$.
As a kid, I never understood why my mom used to cry at the airport, when we had to say bye to our dad. I was small i was just happy to go the airport, my brother even younger than me. but now i realize that for my dad, his family meant everything, as you grow older, we understand the feelings that our parents went through, the pain and the distance, and all the credit goes to my dad and my mom( I cant leave my mom out of this conversation)
My parents made sure that we never feel the lack of either of them, even though we lived separate lives in separate countries. My dad worked really hard to keep us financially and emotionally stable, and no amount of thanks would suffice the sacrifices he has made.
My mom always told me to be creative and always had my eyes on music. yes I have a engineering degree and 2 masters degrees and 4 certifications but i am still a child at heart, and music still revolves around me and is deep in me.I release my energy and my frustrations on a dance floor , and this is all thanks to my upbringing. Thank you mom and Dad. you people truly are the greatest gifts a son could have.

In an era of digital transformation, project management has been undergoing a significant change, one that is inclined towards efficiency, productivity, and smooth operation. The catalyst for this change is the adoption of Unified Dashboards, a technological marvel that is revolutionizing project management. With a centralized system for data and information, project managers and teams can now work with enhanced visibility and control. This article delves into the essential aspects of Unified Dashboards and how they are reshaping the landscape of project management. Let's embark on this enlightening journey and discover the power of this innovative tool.
Understanding the Concept of Unified Dashboards
The concept of Unified Dashboards is an integral aspect of modern project management. Essentially, a Unified Dashboard is a centralized system which integrates data from various sources into a single view, thereby providing a comprehensive overview of all pertinent project details. This Integrated Data Platform operates by collating information from diverse inputs and presenting it in an easily digestible format, enabling efficient data management. This streamlining is vital in project management, where the efficient use of time and resources is critical to the success of any project. In this context, the use of Unified Dashboards can significantly enhance productivity and accuracy, making them a fundamental tool in the project management realm.
The Benefits of Unified Dashboards in Project Management
The next part of the article focuses on the merits of utilizing Unified Dashboards in project management. This is critical as it provides readers with insights into why they should consider adopting this technology. It will cover how Unified Dashboards significantly enhance efficiency by providing a singular view of all project aspects, thereby facilitating quick and informed decision-making.
In addition to efficiency, the centralization of project data through Unified Dashboards greatly improves communication among team members. Everyone can access the same information in real-time, eliminating any discrepancies and confusion that could potentially hamper the project's progress.
One of the key benefits of Unified Dashboards is the feature of real-time data analysis, which is an important point to be discussed. This feature not only speeds up the decision-making process but also ensures that these decisions are data-driven and, therefore, more likely to contribute to the project's success.
Implementing Unified Dashboards: The Process and Challenges
Embarking on the journey of implementing Unified Dashboards entails a thoughtful approach towards strategic planning. The process demands an amalgamation of technology transition and change management strategies to successfully integrate these platforms into the existing systems. It's vital to acknowledge that this course of action is not devoid of challenges.
The initial step in the process involves a comprehensive understanding of the project requirements and objectives. This is followed by a meticulous choice of the Unified Dashboard that aligns with the project's needs. The selection ideally depends on the functionality, cost-effectiveness, and adaptability of the dashboard.
Once the appropriate Unified Dashboard is identified, the focus shifts to the technology transition. This phase incorporates the replacement of old systems with the new dashboard, which requires a well-structured implementation plan and a robust change management strategy. The term 'Change Management' here refers to the methodology used to deal with the transition or transformation of organizational goals, technologies, or processes.
Last but not least, one of the most significant hurdles that organizations often face is user acceptance and adoption. This challenge can be addressed with proper training and by communicating the benefits of the new system clearly. It's fundamental to ensure that the end-users are comfortable with the change and understand how to leverage the new system to its full potential.
In conclusion, while the task of implementing Unified Dashboards comes with its own set of challenges, the benefits it brings to project management are undeniable. Therefore, with the right strategic planning, these hurdles can be tackled efficiently, paving the way for enhanced project management and productivity.
Case Studies: The Success of Unified Dashboards in Project Management
Through examining various case studies, it becomes clear how Unified Dashboards have played a pivotal role in enhancing project management, marking numerous success stories. Unified Dashboards are not merely theoretical constructs; they are practical tools, offering tangible benefits, as indicated by the numerous practical examples currently available.

Future Trends: Unified Dashboards and Project Management
As an emerging trend in the field of project management, Unified Dashboards are poised to significantly alter the landscape. These dashboards present a game-changing solution to the complex demands of modern project management, integrating disparate data sources onto one screen for easier tracking and analysis.

Fall is the time when girls often don outfits inspired by fraternity boys. There’s a wide variety of accessories you can add to your frat boy-inspired ensemble for a girl. Choices include boat shoes, Puka shell necklaces, and feather boas to enhance your appearance. Pairing leather gloves with thigh-high boots can create an eye-catching look to finish off your attire.
Fall frat boy costume girl
Don’t be afraid of being creative with your Fall frat-boy costume. Your frat boy costume can be made more real with a big sweatshirt, long socks, baggy sweatpants, or crocs. You can also add a pair of sunglasses to your look! You don’t even have to be a frat boy to make this costume work!
Your frat boy outfit should start with the footwear. White sneakers are a great choice. White sneakers can be worn with many colors and are versatile. You should also make sure that you choose a belt in the same color as the outfit. Don’t forget to wear sunglasses, either wayfarers or aviators.
Feather costume for girl
Feathers are a beautiful and fluffy material. Feathers are a beautiful, fluffy material that falls from birds and floats around like snowflakes. But unlike snow, they don’t melt. Feathers are not only glamorous, but they also make people laugh. This no-sew costume has a sun headband and poofy cloud details.
Whether you’re dressing as a frat boy or frat girl, boat shoes can complete your outfit. These shoes are designed to be men’s footwear, but can also be surprisingly feminine. For a feminine touch, add a pair of floral boat heels to your outfit.
Boat shoes have been a classic since the 1940s. However, they’ve seen a revival. One of the main reasons the boat shoe is back in style is because of the influence of luxury brands. Prada recently released a pair of boat shoes featuring rubberized logos. And last month, Louis Vuitton released three different styles of boat shoes. All three sold out quickly.
A button-down shirt, boat shoe, and a shirt polo are all classic options. The look can also be completed with a matching belt. The look can be made more masculine by adding aviators to it. A brightly colored polo top is the final touch. Don’t forget to add a pair of sunglasses to complete the look.
As boat shoes are so casual, they are best worn during the warmer seasons, especially during the Summer or Spring. This style looks best with light colored pants. The exposed foot will be more noticeable. But khaki pants or skirts will also look great with boat shoes.
Puka shell necklaces
The puka shell necklace has been the jewelry of choice for frat guys, surfers, and every teen drama on CW for years. Its retro style has returned to the fashion runway for the spring 2018 collections of designers, with Prada’s menswear collection taking the idea to new heights. Even Louis Vuitton’s spring 2018 collection featured teeny white shells.
Puka shell necklaces were popular during the 1990s surf culture boom, which grew out of the disco era. The Philippines became a popular destination for shell gathering. At that time, the clam shells were bleached and cut for use as jewelry. The most common style at the time was the mostly white puka shell necklace. Later, square cut shells were introduced.
If you’re in need of inspiration, check out Karen Celiss’s Spirit Week Pinterest board, which includes many images and links to other frat boy outfits. In addition, you can follow her TikTok channel for videos related to frat boy outfit ideas.
For the final finishing touch, add a pair of boat shoes and a button-down shirt to complete the frat boy look. A belt and sunglasses are essential. Ray-ban Wayfarers are a perfect complement to the look. Frat boys are notorious for rapping women, holding nutsacks and dancing elephant. Their only concern is women, and their conscience is absent.
Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses
A pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses is a great accessory for frat boys costumes. These sunglasses are stylish and affordable. These sunglasses can be bought for as low as $50 and bamboo frames are even more affordable. These sunglasses are guaranteed to get lots of compliments, and are an essential part of any frat boy costume.
Wayfarers were invented by Raymond Stegeman and are still one of the most popular styles of sunglasses today. They were nearly discontinued in the 1950s because of their low sales, but they quickly became one of the most popular styles of sunglasses. Since then, they’ve undergone several different design changes, and you can find a pair for a few dollars or as expensive as a few thousand dollars.
A fun costume idea is to wear a hat and look like a fratboy. While a new hat is the best, you can also use a pair of old sunglasses. You can also choose a shiny wraparound pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarer or Oakley sunglasses.
You can identify a fake Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses by looking for one that comes in a box with a code. Fake Ray-Ban sunglasses logos are often off-centered and slightly distorted. Genuine Ray-Ban sunglasses include a genuine leather case and a shiny logo on the frame. Also, the case should be made of hard leather and the case should have no loose threads or seams. The sticker should not be cracked and should remain static.

It’s completely feasible to craft costumes that are both inexpensive and uniquely eye-catching. Popular choices often include pun-based costumes, funny group outfits, and simple DIY costumes of Disney characters. Furthermore, coordinating costumes for couples can offer a fun and easy option.
Costumes like Scooby Doo and his gang are a great choice for last-minute Halloween costumes. These characters are recognizable, easy to make, and are easy for the whole family to wear. You can use everyday clothing, paint, and DIY accents to create a look that’s authentic and fun. You can even include your pet in the costume, if you want!

It consists of a ruffled blouse, tweed blazer, and carpet bag. A white pair of gloves and a large black parrot umbrella are also essential to complete the look.
Rosie the Riveter
A Rosie the Riveter costume is quick and easy to make. The iconic cultural figure is a symbol of World War II and the women who worked in factories during the war. To make a Rosie the Riveter costume, all you need are blue overalls, a red bandana, and black shoes. For the rest of the costume, you can find any neutral eyeshadow palette and purchase a red lipstick.
The Marvel superhero Loki series has introduced many memorable characters, including President Loki. As President Loki, you’ll need a suit, a green tie, and a horned helmet. But the most important part of this costume is the Loki for President button. You can print one of these on your computer and then attach it to your suit. It’s sure to inspire fear among onlookers.

Creative and Unique Ways to Decorate for Halloween
For a Halloween-themed display, consider adding unique and innovative decorations such as pumpkins. These pumpkins stand out by providing a special touch to your decoration and can be embellished in a variety of ways, including using black nail polish or spray paint for a spooky effect. Other unique decorating pieces include jars decorated with black nail polish, Halloween-inspired stencils, or electric candles.
Embroidery hoops are a great way to make festive decorations. They can be used to decorate pillows, pillowstops, and walls with embroidery or sewing thread. Embroidery hoops are also useful for crafts, such as decorating cork boards. They can also be used to create flexible chalkboards.
Embroidery hoops can also be used to create hanging planters. Just make sure to cut your fabric on the bias. This will help the fabric stretch well around the hoop.
Mini terrariums are a great way to add a unique touch to your Halloween decorations. These tiny glass containers can be used to hold all kinds of house plants. The most popular types of plants that are used in terrariums are orchids, ferns, and mosses. However, these decorative vessels can also be used to add other decorations.
Creating your own Halloween terrarium is easy and fun. You just need a suitable container, organic components, and miniatures. These terrariums do not need any special maintenance and are a great way to add greenery to your home decor. Whether you’re decorating for Halloween or another holiday, mini terrariums are a great way to add a special touch to your home.
Spray painted tombstones
Spray painted tombstones are a great way to add detail to your Halloween display. You can find tombstones in a variety of shapes and colors. Some are even made from styrofoam. These are great ways to decorate for Halloween and can be used to decorate outdoor furniture too.
To make the tombstones, start by cutting out the tombstone shape from cardboard or other materials. Next, spray them with black spray paint. Use multiple angles to apply the paint and allow enough time to dry. Then, add some rhinestone eyes or plastic bugs to complete your tombstone. Adding a headstone name or epitaph is also a great touch.
A spider display for Halloween can be a fun and effective way to add a spooky touch to your home or store. There are many different ways to create a display that incorporates spiders, including carving and painting them. Using a giant spider is also a great option because it can be large enough to be a focal point in a larger display.
Start by creating your spider’s body and legs. Make the legs as long as possible and be sure to make bends in the legs and mandibles. You can use hot glue to hide any mistakes or gaps. Make sure that the mandibles are pointed upward with a slight curve back towards the body.
Tips For Throwing a Halloween Party on a Budget
If you’re on a tight budget, think about reducing expenses by making your own decorations or using available free printable resources. Furthermore, you might create a scorecard to evaluate the best costume. Given that costumes can be expensive, considering a couple’s costume may be a smart decision.
If you’re on a budget and looking for a way to throw a Halloween party, there are many options available. Some ideas include a movie theme party, a game night, or a Halloween-themed dinner. You can even find inexpensive ways to dress up your home.
One of the most inexpensive ideas is to hold a costume contest. While this may seem silly, it’s a fun and inexpensive way to get the party started. Costume contests are great fun and can result in some impressive getups. Be sure to provide plenty of voting materials and a door prize for the winner.
You don’t have to break the bank to have a fun Halloween party. There are many games, food and activities that can be performed for free or very inexpensively. There are also many DIY Halloween decorations that you can make. Halloween is the perfect time to get in touch with your inner child!
To add atmosphere to your Halloween party, consider playing chamber music. Many streaming services offer spooky playlists for this occasion. You can also play YouTube videos throughout the night to set a creepy mood.
If you’re on a budget and hosting a Halloween party, consider serving cheap snacks and sweets. Some easy and cheap treats include pigs in a blanket, popcorn, and candy bars. You can also try hosting a potluck, where guests bring their own dishes. A potluck is a good option because it allows you to avoid having to provide all the food.
Another way to keep the party budget in check is to limit the number of guests to a few close friends. This can help you avoid spending too much money on food, decorations, and games. You should limit the number of guests to your closest friends, but don’t restrict the party to just kids. If the party is for adults, parents may also want to attend.
If you are on a budget, you can still throw a Halloween party with a few inexpensive games. One fun game is Halloween bingo. Players fill out bingo cards and win prizes. Another fun game is glow in the dark paint or glow bracelets. You can also set up DIY Halloween decorations. For fun games, you can also use plastic pumpkins for beer pong.
Another game to play with inexpensive Halloween supplies is pumpkin checkers, a fun version of the classic tic-tac-toe game. A simple version of this game involves placing miniature pumpkins on a map, which can be made using masking tape. Another Halloween game uses pumpkins with long stems to make goals.
A costume contest is a great way to add a fun element to your Halloween party. Rather than monetary prizes or bragging rights, you can offer costume certificates to those who turn up dressed as their favorite character. You can also have a photo booth station and hand out fun props.
If you can’t afford to hire a professional party planner, you can host your own costume contest. Just make sure that it doesn’t exceed your budget. In this way, you’ll be able to keep the party budget within your reach. In addition, you can opt to host your party outdoors if the weather is nice.

The new building will become a centre of work, relaxation and meetings with recreational areas on the green roof terrace and a 400-square metre green oasis in the inner courtyard. "Working environments are changing fundamentally," said Johann Spengler, Managing Partner of Steidle Architekten. "The office block of the future must offer meeting places, create open spaces for spontaneous exchange and foster creative centres for developing new ideas." It picks up on demands for new work structures subsumed under the term "New Work" and that include work-life blending, collaboration and remote work.
The Hamburg-based DC Developments is constructing a bold, state-of-the art, 16-storey sustainable office block in the Elbbrücken district at a cost of EUR 180 million. VTG, the leading lessor of rail freight cars, will become the anchor tenant and can then avail of 18,000 square metres of floor space. Construction is set to begin in early 2023 and will last through 2026. Then the company is expected to move its 600 employees from St. Georg to HafenCity.
Multifaceted demands on office building
VTG employees involved in planning
A VTG team helped develop the plans from the outset to successfully adapt to new standards, said Spengler. "We at VTH take ecological, economic and social responsibility and want to be climate-neutral by 2040. When choosing our new office space, it was important to us to set an example in terms of sustainability and functionality," said Oksana Janssen, Chief Operating Officer Eurasia & Far East of VTG AG. The project was backed by the Hamburg Invest economic development agency.
Sustainability and functionality
The development and construction processes are based on the HafenCity Ecolabel, the highest sustainability award for suburb there. Apart from reduced operational energy requirements, it includes recycled or reusable building materials produced with particularly low CO2 emissions. The façade, for instance, will be made of used or reused bricks. Photovoltaic systems will supply green electricity. A deconstruction concept documents the circularity of the building. | <urn:uuid:e2690c2c-0a3c-4764-b2f1-d99fba775440> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://hamburg-business.com/en/news/state-art-office-building-emerging-hafencity | 2024-04-18T14:09:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.939097 | 439 |

“What does my inner self look like?”
“Are you curious about what secrets I’ve hidden inside my self-portrait?”
The relationship between children and their environment—
The world we live in has given the youth a pandemic to survive through; how do they respond?
In these self-portraits, the children hide their favourite things and symbols for viewers to find, just like a game.

A series of Harrogate landmarks, replicated in Lego bricks, will star in a new town centre trail for families to follow this summer.
Harrogate BID’s Lego Trail – which launches on Saturday, July 31 and runs until Sunday, August 22 – features ten mini-models located in nine different locations, some created especially for this three-week event.
These small-scale masterpieces include Harrogate Town mascot, Harry Gator; Bettys Harrogate café; The Turkish Baths; The Great Yorkshire Showground’s main ring; and Hogwart’s School from the Harry Potter books.
At 10am on Saturday and Sunday (July 31 and August 1), Victoria Shopping Centre will be hosting a live-build of a white rose, the county’s emblem, in which the public are invited to take part.
There is also a competition with 500 Lego prizes to be won. To enter, participants need to download the LoyalFree app and ‘check in’ at each venue using the QR code displayed. Toyland in the Victoria Shopping Centre is where the prizes can be collected from.
Harrogate BID Manager Chapman Matthew Chapman said: “With the school summer holidays already here we wanted to create a trail that would really appeal to families.
“With restrictions now lifted, this is one that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, and will be a fun way to spend a few hours visiting different parts of the town.
“As a child I loved Lego, and so do my two sons. And as you will see from these creations Lego can be anything but child’s play. I’m really excited to say that we have commissioned a number of models that will be unique to our trail.
“The live-build on Saturday and Sunday in Victoria Shopping Centre is where the public can help create a mosaic of a white rose. This will be proudly displayed in a Lego pop-up shop on the centre’s ground floor.
He added: “One of our key remits is to drive footfall into the town centre, and we hope our Lego trail will help us to achieve this.
“I’d like to thank all the businesses who will be displaying these mini-brick creations, Fairy Bricks for making them and Victoria Shopping Centre for staging the public live-build.”
The models can be viewed at the following locations:
- Harrogate Town Shop, Commercial Street
- Games Crusade, Oxford Street
- HSBC, Cambridge Crescent
- Primark, Cambridge Street
- Waterstones, James Street
- Bettys, Parliament Street
- Maturi, Parliament Street

Can making pension contributions increase your entitlement to child benefit?
Child benefit is the principle benefit payable to people who are responsible for children under the age of 16 or who are aged under 20 and are in full time education. The benefit is not only available to birth parents but to adoptive and foster parents also. As soon as the first child is born, the parent is entitled to a flat rate amount of £20.70 per week in the current tax year (2019/2020). For any additional children that are born after the first, the parent becomes entitled to a further £13.70 per week per child.
It is not means tested, but the benefit is withdrawn to high income households by the high income child benefit charge. This charge applies to households where at least one of the parents has an adjusted net income of over £50,000.00. The charge is 1% of the child benefit that is received for every £100 of income that exceeds £50,000.00 and must be reported on the individuals self-assessment form.
Mr Smith has an adjusted net income of £55,000 and has three children. Before the high income child benefit charge he could expect to receive £2,501.20.
As Mr Smith is £5,000 over the adjusted net income limited of £50,000, this means that the child benefit he could receive will be reduced by 50%.
This is calculated as £5,000 divided by 100 = 50%
Therefore the child benefit reduces by 50% of £2,501.20 to £1,250.60.
Here we used the term adjusted net income. But what does this mean exactly? This is total taxable income less certain tax reliefs, including:
- Pension contributions paid gross (before tax relief)
- Pension contributions where the pension provider has already applied tax relief at basic rate
- Trading losses
- Donations made to charities through Gift Aid
Therefore, one way to reduce a clients adjusted net income meaning that they are no longer subject to the high income child benefit charge would be to make pension contributions.
Mrs Jones has a salary of £52,000 a year and has one child which gives an entitlement to child benefit totalling £1,076.40. Based on this, she is subject to the charge which means that her child benefit is reduced by 20%
This is calculated as £2,000 divided by 100 = 20%
The child benefit reduced by 20% of £1,076.40 to £861.12.
But if Mrs Jones makes a gross contribution of at least £2,000, it means her adjusted net income will be less than £50,000 and she will no longer be subject to the high income child benefit charge
If she were to make a contribution, she would be entitled to receive tax relief on this. For further information about tax relief, we have a section in our technical section of the website with some Frequently Asked Questions.

Making the most of your landscaping projects
Home improvement projects aren’t constrained to a single season, but during these warmer months, your focus is no longer simply on your home’s indoors. Now there’s outdoor yard work to do as well, and if you’re looking to recreate your outdoor space, your outside projects may include some landscaping. If you have landscaping as part of your to-do list this season, the right strategy can ensure that you get the most benefit from your landscaping goals with the least amount of headache.
To that end, here are five tips to simplify your landscaping projects this year.
Plan for the entire year.
Landscaping projects can be hard work, and because of that, you deserve to enjoy them for as long as possible. That’s why it’s important to plan your landscaping layout with the entire year in mind.
Research your plant and flower options based on bloom periods and plant a variety so your yard is always being introduced to new pops of color. You should also add evergreen shrubs and other such plant life to your overall plan to give you a spot of color in the winter and preserve your landscaping look.
Be mindful of other tools outside your home. When developing your landscaping strategy, you need to be aware not only of your home but the other vital components outside as well.
Many homeowners are not mindful of their home’s HVAC units and may place landscaping solutions too close to the unit, which makes it difficult for techs to service the unit and exposes your system to the harmful effects of debris. Instead, plan to keep all landscaping at least two feet away from your HVAC system.
This allows units like the Champion Momentum Variable Capacity Residential System to operate at peak efficiency and allows service techs to utilize its built-in advanced monitoring system to provide accurate readouts for faster annual service, maximized service life and improved comfort in your home.
Touch every corner of your yard. Your home is naturally the focal point of your yard, but it doesn’t have to be the only one. Creating a berm – a mound-type space that you can fill with rocks, wood chips or a flower garden – can add a pop of color and visual appeal to an otherwise plain area.
These visual attractions can be placed anywhere, but adding one to an otherwise deserted corner of your yard is a great way to tie the entire space together and make the most of an unused area.
Add plants that fit your lifestyle. When planning your landscaping project, it’s important to remember this isn’t just a one-time solution. Your landscaping will need continual work, and as such, your landscaping plan should be based partly on the time you have to dedicate to the project.
For example, if you’re a person who appreciates beautifully colorful flowers but doesn’t want to replant them every year, you should start your project by planting perennials instead of annuals. Your time commitment in year one will be roughly the same, but you’ll ease your time requirements in the years ahead.
Monitor your budget. Like many things, a lavish landscaping project can get away from you very quickly in the financial department. Veteran landscapers know that it becomes very easy to get swept up in the project and before you know it, you’ve added a slightly larger tree or another bush or two. Then you suddenly have unexpected costs heading your way. Instead of ending your exciting project on a bad note with a higher bill, plan out your budget ahead of time.
If you are placing trees and shrubs on your property, you must remember, they grow bigger! You have to place saplings carefully so that once full size they do not pose a threat to your property. Then you will have to get them trimmed or removed – something only a professional can do. If you need to ask a professional about your trees or bushes in your garden and how to maintain them properly without stunting their growth, or of course exceeding your budget, you can visit www.tuckerenterprise.com.
Try to get as specific as possible with where you plan to spend every dollar. The more you can hold to each line item in your budget, the better you’ll be able to avoid unnecessary expenses throughout the process.
Making these landscaping improvements, and others, to your yard can be a fun and rewarding project provided you follow a strategy that makes the best use of your time and money. To learn more about the Champion Momentum Variable Capacity Residential System, visit championhomecomfort.com.

From the experimental realms of Flying Dog Brewery comes their Imperial IPA featuring the enigmatic HBC-431 hop—a variety so cutting-edge it lacks a proper name. In this venture, the brewery promises a melange of melon, tropical fruit, stone fruit, pine, and earth notes, with their head brewer attesting to its unparalleled uniqueness. As we embark on this tasting journey, let’s explore the facets of the Flying Dog Imperial IPA – HBC-431 Single Hop.
The pour reveals a fairly clear gold liquid adorned with a meager film of white head. While it’s a standard presentation, the lack of any extraordinary visual elements doesn’t immediately set this brew apart.
Wafting from the glass is a tropical symphony of tangerine, papaya, and pine sap. It’s a commendable blend, yet the promise of groundbreaking innovation hinted at by the brewery seems to be somewhat muted in the olfactory experience.
The flavor profile, dominated by Citra-like hop characteristics, unfolds with notes of orange and a subdued bitterness. The pale malt presence lacks significant sweetness, and the culmination is marked by a satisfactory hop fruitiness and bitterness. While enjoyable, the taste doesn’t quite transcend the boundaries of the expected.
With a medium-bodied constitution and an average level of carbonation, the mouthfeel adheres to the conventional standards of a Double IPA. It neither astonishes nor disappoints, providing a middle-of-the-road experience.
In summary, the Flying Dog Imperial IPA – HBC-431 Single Hop is a play-it-safe venture into the realm of Double IPAs. It undoubtedly pleases the palate, yet falls short of delivering the groundbreaking experience one might anticipate from an experimental hop variety. While it’s undeniably a delicious addition to Flying Dog’s portfolio, it leaves the adventurous beer enthusiast yearning for a more audacious exploration of the HBC-431’s potential. | <urn:uuid:c760ed92-01d8-4510-9f67-355fbaff872f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://haztucheve.com/beer-review-flying-dog-imperial-ipa-hbc-431-single-hop/ | 2024-04-18T15:05:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.872142 | 408 |

The federal government, through the Ministry of Solid Minerals, on Tuesday warned illegal miners to stop sabotaging the economy and canceled the permits of 1,633 defaulters.
The council noted that this decision is the current administration’s noble goal of cleaning up the solid minerals sector and positioning the industry for global competitiveness.
The Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr. Oladele Arake, disclosed this at a press conference in Abuja, saying that corporate bodies that earn huge profits from the mining industry are failing to pay their annual dues and refusing to pay the government. said that it was indeed very unconscionable. service charge.
Alek said: “In accordance with the law, the MCO commenced the process of canceling 2,213 titles on October 4, 2023. These include 795 exploration titles, 956 small-scale mining licenses, 364 quarry licenses, Includes 98 mining leases.
“These were published in Federal Register No. 178, No. 110, dated October 10, 2023, along with a notice of cancellation for non-payment of annual service fees.
“The mandated 30-day period expired on November 10, 2023. Only 580 titleholders responded that they would settle their debts. With this development, MCO announced that the next 1,633 mineral titles recommended the cancellation of 536 exploration licenses; quarry licenses, 279; small-scale mining licenses, 787 and mining leases, 31.
“Pursuant to the powers vested in me by section 5(a) of the NMMA 2007, I have authorized the cancellation of 1,633 titles. We will work with the Mining Supervision Department to arrest any violators found in areas where rights have been revoked, warning them to immediately leave relevant cadastral records.”
He said it is certainly a reasonable assumption that such companies would be more reluctant to pay royalties or meet their tax obligations to governments, and that the amount companies are being asked to pay is He added that the amount is small compared to the company’s revenue forecasts.
He said the unity of the Nigerian press and Nigerian people on the solid minerals issue had led to national resolve and injected new vitality into its strength and readiness to carry out reforms with stamina and unity of purpose. .
The Minister explained the Nigeria Minerals and Mining Act, 2007 and Mineral Title Management, stating that every sector has a governance system that regulates the conduct of participants, entry and exit procedures, the obligations of government towards participants, and the obligations of government towards the nation. I explained that I needed it. Penalties for violations.
He said the philosophy of the Nigeria Minerals and Mining Act, 2007 is to establish a streamlined system of transparent and comprehensive title management to ensure a seamless transition from renaissance to exploration and from exploration to mineral extraction. He said that this is true.
He added: “The lead authority for title management is the Mineral Cadastral Authority, which receives applications, evaluates them and issues titles with approval from the Office of the Honorable Minister for Solid Minerals Development.” Although we have sought to improve efficiency through adoption, we continue to face challenges in monitoring titleholders’ compliance with the most basic requirements for their operations and title maintenance.
“For example, Article 10(a) provides for payment for processing an application, while Article 10B provides for payment of an annual service fee. According to the law, the Mineral Register Office An application processing fee shall be collected: an annual service fee set at a fixed rate per cadastral square unit for management and administrative services provided by the cadastral.
“It is indeed very unconscionable for a company that makes huge profits from mining to deny the government its due by not paying an annual service charge.
“For example, owners of exploration rights pay only N1,500 per cadastral unit not exceeding 200 units. If you hold title over 200 units, you pay N2,000 per unit. The larger the area your title covers, the more you will pay.
“This principle was applied to ensure that the applicant does not retain more than is necessary for the exploration. As the cadastral unit is captured as a 500 m x 500 m square, it is possible to ensure that the right ownership is in compliance with the law. should fulfill their obligations without hesitation.”
In her remarks, the Assistant Secretary, Mines and Steel Development (MMSD), Dr. Mary Ogbe, said everyone must work together to advance the policy.
she said: “I would like the press to spread the message far and wide, even if it is in a different dialect. As the Mining Minister says, the mining sector is the next oil and together we will You can take it back.” | <urn:uuid:7cf11831-3bd2-4285-82cf-c5030b14f71e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://headline.com.ng/fg-sets-agenda-for-mining-investors-cancels-1633-mineral-licenses/ | 2024-04-18T14:05:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.960114 | 990 |
Medical Xpress – Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which causes painful swelling of the joints, is a form of autoimmune disease where otherwise healthy tissue in a patient’s joint gets mistaken for an intruder and is attacked by the immune system.
Past observational studies have confirmed a correlation between patients with RA and higher levels of periodontal disease (gum disease).
Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) are found in the blood of most patients with RA.
They are correlated so tightly that ACPAs detected in the blood are the best early detection tool for future RA pathology as they can pre-date clinical diagnosis by several years.
Gum disease is specifically more common in individuals with RA who also have ACPAs in their blood.
In a study led by Stanford University, researchers wanted to investigate whether these overlapping observations could be better connected.
Researchers analyzed bacterial RNA in blood samples collected from a group of 5 RA patients with and without gum disease over weekly time points for a year.
They identified RNA signatures within clusters of activated immune cells that correlated with both the presence of oral bacteria in the blood and with flares of arthritis in patients with both RA and periodontal disease.
The bacteria were found to be citrullinated (enzymatically altered), and this alteration provided the targets for the anti-citrullinated protein antibodies to attack … | <urn:uuid:183d44e3-b039-49ae-bfae-349d7ba2a025> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://headlinehealth.com/study-suggests-causative-pathway-between-gum-disease-and-rheumatoid-arthritis/ | 2024-04-18T13:51:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.959521 | 283 |

Why Does the Respiratory Rate Remain Elevated After Exercise?
The body's respiratory rate remains elevated following exercise, a phenomenon known as Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption, or EPOC. EPOC occurs as the body works to return its systems to homeostasis, or the resting state that preceded exercise. The additional oxygen consumption is used to replenish energy stores, return oxygen and hormone levels in the bloodstream to normal, and restore body temperature, ventilation and heart rate. EPOC may last several minutes to up to 24 hours, depending on what type of exercise was performed 1.
Replenishing Energy Stores
Replenishing the body's energy stores requires the use of more energy. During EPOC, the body replaces creatine phosphate and adenosine triphospate, or ATP, fuels that are used in quick bursts of activity. It expends energy to convert the waste product lactic acid to pyruvate, a viable fuel source. In addition, glycogen stores within individual muscles are restocked.

Balancing Oxygen and Hormones in the Bloodstream
How Long Does an Adrenaline Rush Last?
Two changes occur in the bloodstream during exercise that require EPOC 2. The body draws upon oxygen in the blood for energy when working out. Therefore, following activity it must replenish these stores. Secondly, hormones that flood the bloodstream during exercise must be restored to normal levels.
- Two changes occur in the bloodstream during exercise that require EPOC 2.
- Secondly, hormones that flood the bloodstream during exercise must be restored to normal levels.
Restoring Normal Body Temperature, Ventilation and Heart Rate
Heat is produced during exercise, which elevates the body's core temperature 2. In the period of EPOC, the body requires additional energy to activate its cooling systems. Ventilation and heart rate, which are both working overtime during EPOC to replenish energy stores and serve the needs of the bloodstream, require increased energy themselves. As the overall post-exercise system requirements are met, breathing and heart rates gradually return to normal 1.
Get the Most Out of EPOC
What Happens to the Breathing System When We Exercise?
EPOC is highest following certain types of physical activity. For someone who is trying to lose weight and decrease body fat percentage, a lengthier EPOC will be beneficial to reaching overall goals. Aerobic activity followed by resistance training in the same session has been found to have higher rates of EPOC than resistance training followed aerobics. High Intensity Interval Training, exercising in short bursts of intense activity, places increased demands on the body during EPOC. Supersetting, or performing weight training exercises back-to-back with minimal rest between sets, has also been shown to boost energy expenditure in EPOC.

Find out how each lemwarm plan can help you boost your business growth.
If you want to understand the difference between the two lemwarm plans that we’re offering, you’ve come to the right place!
Let me take you through each of them.
First of all, here’s a peak to compare both types of plans and subscriptions:
What you’re getting:
For those of you who were already using our deliverability booster before, you might remember how the emails used to look with their funny content.
That’s in the past now as the content is replaced with real-life templates that make more sense.
If you want lemwarm emails that are even more customized and sent using custom variables, check out the details of the Smart Plan below.
A dashboard that allows you to check if your DNS is top-notch or needs to be created/modified.
Check out here to find out more about DNS checks and its records.
Analyze your inbox and your lemwarm usage to estimate your deliverability status.
Red -> things are not looking so good (blacklisted, DNS not good, the wrong configuration, there can be several different reasons).
We advised you not to send campaigns with this status and we will give you advice on what to do to improve your situation.
Orange -> you can start to send campaigns but with a low volume because your results are not optimal yet.
Green -> you can go ahead and start sending campaigns but make sure to keep lemwarm active at all times to keep good results.
When you’re choosing to go for the smart plan, you’ll go through a questionnaire, and depending on your answers, we'll adapt the content and the cluster in which you'll be placed.
What you’re getting:
We will send automated & ultra-personalized emails from your inbox based on your audience and email goals.
Also, we'll use custom variables depending on what you answered during the Smart questionnaire.
This will increase your email sending reputation and helps you reach and maintain a high deliverability score.
You can add your real email templates to lemwarm and warm them up.
We cover this entire feature in a dedicated article that you can find here.
You will get automatically assigned to a specific cluster according to your industry, targeted audience, and email goals to tailor your deliverability strategy and boost your deliverability score.
For both plans, we do offer a monthly or yearly subscription option. It’s up to you to choose!
The main differences are:
1. Using a monthly plan, you’re getting charged each month based on your subscription date and you can cancel your plan whenever you want.
Ie: you subscribe on the 1st of January, you then pay right away for the period covering January 1st until February 1st.
If you decide to cancel on the 15th of January, your service will still run until February 1st and will stop on that day.
2. Using a yearly plan, you’re getting charged in one go for the entire year and you can still cancel whenever you want during that year. The service will run until the end of the period of one year.
With a yearly plan, you’re getting a 20% discount overall compared to monthly plans.
Ie: you subscribe on the 1st of January, you then pay right away for the period covering January 1st until next January 1st.
If you decide to cancel on the 15th of January, your service will still run until January 1st of the following year and will stop on that day.
You sure can but you’ll need to create a team and add more seats to your plan for that, as one seat = one email address that you can warm up! | <urn:uuid:aef5e468-58a7-4768-b88f-4203286e2c39> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://help.lemwarm.com/article/discover-lemwarm-plans | 2024-04-18T15:06:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.959501 | 798 |

Create Relative Date Filters
Relative date filters dynamically update to show a time period relative to when you open the view, such as the current week, the year to date, or the past 10 days. Relative date filters make it easy to create views that always show the most recent data.
Step 1: Drag a date field to the filter shelf
Drag a date field from the Data pane to the Filters shelf. In the Filter Field dialog box, click Relative Date, and then click Next.
Step 2: Select a time unit
In the Filter dialog box, click Relative dates, and then select the unit of time for the filter. For example, to show only the last three weeks, select Weeks.
Step 3: Define the date period
Use the options in the lower part of the Filter dialog box to specify which date period to include in the view. For example, to show the last three weeks, click Last, and then enter the number 3.
The specific range of time that you have selected is displayed in the upper right of the Filter dialog box.
Note: “Last” date periods include the complete current unit of time, even if some dates haven't occurred yet. For example, if you select the last month and the current date is January 7th, Tableau will display dates for January 1st through January 31st.
Step 4: Watch the view update
The view will now update to always show the relative date range you've chosen.
Once created, you can show relative date filters in the view as cards. See Display interactive filters in the view. To confirm the specific date range, users can click the menu on the filter card: | <urn:uuid:b496af28-1bd6-43e2-ad2d-96bbba45e8aa> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/qs_relative_dates.htm | 2024-04-18T14:47:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.859793 | 346 |

Last month, we published a blog post on the basics of launching a successful patent portfolio.
That post was geared toward tech companies in the initial stages of building a patent program. Since then, we’ve fielded inquiries from readers who want to know: What if we’ve alreadylaunched a patent portfolio? What steps can we take to make our existing patent portfolio more effective?
A strong patent portfolio requires a considerable investment of time and money — and as a startup owner with limited resources, it’s especially important to ensure your patent portfolio consistently gives your company a strong business advantage.
In this post, we’ll look at four common strategies to strengthen an existing patent portfolio.
1. STRATEGIC USE OF CONTINUATION APPLICATIONS
A “continuation” application enables you to pursue additional claims based on an earlier-filed patent application (called the “parent” application) that hasn’t been issued or abandoned yet. Continuation applications use the same priority dates and specifications as their parent applications.
Continuations are often used simply to preserve the “pendency” of an application. As long as you have a continuation pending, you can file claims for any of the subject matter described in the original application — even for ideas that were not initially claimed.
(By contrast, if a continuation isn’t filed before the parent application becomes issued or abandoned, the ability to file new claims is extremely limited.)
A continuation application may offer you the flexibility to pursue additional claims tailored to your business objectives, such as:
- Directing your claims to a specific competitor or field of use
- Drafting narrower claims that avoid newly-discovered prior art
- Pursuing broader claims that provide more comprehensive coverage
USING CONTINUATIONS OFFENSIVELY
You can use continuations to deter competition.
For example, if a competitor tries to enter the market with a similar product to yours, you can file additional claims directed at their attempts to “design around” your existing patent. Keep in mind, though, that any additional claims you introduce must be adequately supported by the specification of your original application.
Another example: You can use continuation applications to create uncertainty around the eventual scope of your patent portfolio. By introducing broader claims that cover multiple embodiments of your invention, you force your competitors to contend with an increased risk of infringing your patent rights.
USING CONTINUATIONS DEFENSIVELY
In addition to providing some salvageable rights, the continuation may discourage an IPR in the first place by introducing a moving (and more costly) target for the challenger.
USING CONTINUATIONS TO PURSUE BROADER CLAIMS
Continuations are often filed to pursue broader claims after narrower claims have been allowed in the initial patent application.
As one example, an examiner might indicate that one or more of your (narrower) dependent claims is allowable, while rejecting the (broader) independent claims. In that case, you may choose to accept the narrower claims just to secure an issued patent, and simultaneously file a continuation application to pursue the broader claims.
As another example, you may have initially filed narrower claims in order to obtain an issued patent quickly — perhaps because you need to attract funding from investors, or gain immediate protection for a particular embodiment of your invention. Consequently, you can use continuations to obtain broader protection later on.
2. STRATEGIC USE OF REISSUE APPLICATIONS
A “reissue” application can be filed to correct a mistake in an issued patent. Some of the errors that can be corrected by filing a reissue application include:
- Correcting inventorship
- Correcting substantive errors in the drawings or specification
- Broadening or narrowing the claims
- Citing references that should have been cited in the original application
Reissue applications may be filed by only the owner of the original application, and cannot introduce any new subject matter to the original application.
HOW ARE REISSUE APPLICATIONS DIFFERENT FROM CONTINUATION APPLICATIONS?
Reissue applications offer many of the same opportunities that we listed above for continuation applications (such as pursuing a broader, narrower, or different claim scope) — but with a couple of significant downsides.
The main risk of filing a reissue application is that the claims of your original patent will need to survive another full examination process. That’s because when the reissued patent is granted, you have to surrender the original patent — including any claims that don’t survive.
(By contrast, you can pursue a continuation application without jeopardizing the claims of its parent application. Thus, continuation applications are the strongly preferred mechanism for pursuing claims of different scope.)
The other risk is that you have to formally state that the original patent is defective. If a reissue patent isn’t granted, this admission can jeopardize the original patent’s viability.
However, reissue applications are often valuable because they can be used to do things that continuation applications can’t: namely, correct errors in an issued patent.
REQUESTING A BROADENING REISSUE
A broadening reissue is a request to enlarge the scope of the original patent’s claims. So it’s used to address cases where you’ve obtained overly narrow claims — that is, claiming less than you were entitled to claim in the original patent.
But there’s a very important time restriction on this: broadening reissues must be filed within two years of the original patent’s issue date.
REQUESTING A NARROWING REISSUE
Conversely, a narrowing reissue modifies claims that inadvertently cover too much subject matter, such as something that’s already known in the prior art. This can be used to cure claims in an issued patent that would be invalid, for example, for being obvious in view of the prior art.
Narrowing reissues may also be applied for at any time, assuming the original patent is still in force.
3. APPROACH YOUR PATENT STRATEGY FROM A NEW ANGLE
Many companies typically consider seeking patent protection for only their own commercially viable products — but there are many other ways patents can give your business a competitive edge.
First of all, think about patenting a broader range of technology. In particular, you can seek patent protection for more than just your end product.
As an example, your competitor may produce a totally different product from you, but you can put competitive pressure on them by patenting technology relevant to what they do — even if it’s not what you do.
Next, think about the technological ecosystem around your product. For example, think about the manufacturing and shipping of your product, or how your product interacts with other technologies. Are there key technical components in your product that will be essential to compete in certain markets?
Even if the chances of getting broad patent protection for your invention are low, sometimes it’s worth pursuing a patent for specific components and features that could become ubiquitous in the market.
GET OTHER TEAM MEMBERS INVOLVED
Finally, use all the strategic minds that you have available on your team — including the non-technical, business-minded people. Although your patent portfolio is typically the domain of R&D folks and patent professionals, periodically getting other viewpoints involved can be extremely valuable.
4. STRATEGICALLY PURSUE FOREIGN PROTECTION
If your technology is relevant to a foreign market or if you have competitors operating in foreign countries, pursuing foreign patent protection ensures that your company is exploring all viable options in your overall patent strategy.
When determining where you should foreign file, consider the following factors:
- Where are your competitors filing patent applications?
- Where are your potential investors doing business?
- Where do you want to sell/manufacture/distribute your product?
- Where do your competitors want to sell/manufacture/distribute their product?

I have written many versions of this post over the past couple of months. I’d start them and then stop writing it. Some of them over a thousand words and some of them a few sentences. Truth is, I don’t have a lot to give so I decided until I do, I wanted to give you piece of what I can offer at the moment. I know that it’s important that these words be seen. That these words be prayed over and that these words heal the recipient. God has a way of being strategic like that. His plan is perfect. This isn’t about what others felt, their response or their experience in my journey. This about seeing the inside of healing in its present form. Knowing that there is hope for us all.
What Do I Have to be Depressed About?
So in short I have battled with severe depression and of course most people don’t know unless you tell them.Depression is not a hard thing to hide when no one is really looking directly at you. You can be looking at some one and not see them. Yes, I have a lot of happy days and happy moments. I feel blessed to have my family and life, honestly. You see how in that last sentence I had to validate my blessings to help you as the reader understand that I’m grateful? Because of what I may have presented, doesn’t align with what you summed my life to be. That’s natural, we all do it. That’s one of the levels of why depression can be hidden from people who can’t see your pain through your smile. But this isn’t about where I am, its where I’m traveling to. When I share my journey in any piece of writing, the healing has happened or is happening. The light is what is shared, never darkness. Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Can I share my light with you?
This won’t be a long post remember, So here are the cliff notes. My depression didn’t come from one thing, it came from a lot of things. But most days it only takes one trigger. Big or the smallest thing. Well, one day I had a trigger and I spiraled internally. That night I sat in my closet on the edge of an unknown mental space and I said to God, “If you can please just hold on to me and get me off this floor, I’ll go get help.” My mind began to ease and the next day I was back in therapy sessions. I was going to church focusing on my faith, I was in depression recovery group. Hell, I didn’t know that was a thing. Everything hurt, literally and figuratively. I withdrew drastically and put myself in a bubble. My therapist helped me see that I didn’t have much left to give and I was trying to protect and hold on to the little I had left. It was true. Over the next few months, I made a commitment to get my mind and body right. My body didn’t feel the same, I was in pain and my body was reacting.
Lump in My Breast
I found a lump in my breast. I was in denial for like two weeks. I cried, laughed, panicked, cussed, & questioned. I honestly thought I was imagining it, because sometimes I couldn’t feel it. I made an appointment and my main doctor sent me to get a mammogram. I felt like I hadn’t prepared to be getting a mammogram this early. The experience felt lonely, foreign but oddly comforting. Walking into a back waiting area full of women in pink robes brought a feeling of solidarity. Everything turned out to be fine, and I was so thankful, But that grounded me in the notion to not play about my health. So I got a full work up and discovered I had a little work to do on my health. That story is long but that about summed it up. The whole experience made me just want to hide under the blanket of childhood. You know, that blanket of what was…
30 Year Old Blues
Imagining life before and just the whole 30 year old experience is rocking us millennials like we’re in that treetop from the lullabies going 100 miles in hour. We have this craving to revert back to when we didn’t have to care, just live. This is that age nobody really talked about too much. Of course you know about your teens, 20s and the fabulous rebirth of 40s and so on. I now get the 40 and fabulous awakening. Because if you mentally make it out the changes and growing pains of 30s, we all deserve a metal and feel sure of ourselves that may come in your 40s.
Healing is taking a beat to figure out the source and moving in that direction while working through it. As a woman in my 30s I was intrigued and really wanted to get other women’s opinions on their experience. And 30s definitely comes with some blues, like the low down dirty blues. The consensus is, no matter what you have, or where you are, you probably don’t think you have what you want, not where you want to be, or want to move folks out your life. The need to feel like you are somebody and have impact sets in at this age. You probably want to give more than you have to people that you love. And death becomes more final, like you, yourself are running out of time.
In life you hear don’t look back, except to see how far you come. That has truth, but 30s has a lot of looking back because this age brings about so many questions. where you came from, where you’re going and what the hell is taking so long of your ask. Like I mentioned earlier we’re trying to chase the dreams we set for ourselves or just feel grounded in some way. Along with the mess of the last 3 years within this country, grief, work, family, friends, and our own mental battles, depression is real across the board for a lot of people. I know I’m not alone and gatekeeping my journey and healing doesn’t help to make sure we as women know, that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I hope you aren’t reading this and feeling sadness, but hope. In April my husband lost his mother, the woman that birthed him into this world. I am watching and supporting him in his grief the best I know how. But daily I see a man carry his pain, provide for his family, give to others and try to keep his head above water. That doesn’t show me perfection, it shows me human strength only God can give. It shows me that we must continue to pray for each other even when no one is watching. Your prayers are helping someone you may not even know hold on. The lost of a love one feels suffocating because it’s final, you can’t take a pencil and erase it. Listen to me closely, because THIS I know. God will give you enough and he will comfort. You know that we all die, but grief grooms you to accept that and in return be able to comfort those who experience it after you. That’s why God made love the greatest of all.
I want you to understand that feeling full in one area and completely empty in others can co-exist in your life just as easily as you inhale and exhale your next breathe. But there is one thing you must ask yourself, what was that thing that made you feel alive? Like throwing your head back and feeling? If you know it, do more of it and do it often. If you can’t think of anything, you have work to do. The good thing is, you have now to figure that out, so don’t wait. I can promise you this, Being the best healthy you will always take some type of work. We will never be able to escape the need to evolve and we can’t go back. In the times of social media, the pivot the country has taken, and all we endure daily, life doesn’t feel like “home” to you and that feeling can cause deep depression or sadness.Even though some seasons seem longer than others, they do change, Hold On. Get help via therapy, support group, church, a trusted friend, someone older who has been through it, or a family member. Don’t be afraid to combine and mix or match the options. As for me I feel better because I’m doing the healing work. I feel my feelings. You are not alone, we got this, Happy healing. Thank you for seeing me.
NOTE: If you are looking for more in-depth conversation about my depression journey, I have walked you through each week in real time my recovery on my podcast the last few months.
Dedication: Rest In Peace to one of the most amazing men I have known, My Uncle Charles Sibley(11/24/2022). I can’t put his lost into words. But my heart aches. I thank God for blessing me with another uncle who loved and cared for me. Who made us laugh, who cooked/grilled us good food, and fed our souls with his electric presence. Strength, peace, love and comfort to his girls. | <urn:uuid:13d74e34-1def-430b-950c-9cdc5c264f9f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://herlifeonpurpose.com/2022-gave-me-a-breast-lump-depression-30yr-old-blues/ | 2024-04-18T13:57:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.975205 | 1,977 |

Table of Contents
This is where you would have to go down and get dirty to find the truth. A lot of men who have an affair are good at hiding their infidelity, so if you suspect he is out with another woman, wait until he comes home, then initiate sexual activity. Cup your hand around his ball sack during the foreplay, I bet he would just sit back and let you do your thing; he is a man after all. Here’s your chance to do the test.
Does it feel more deflated than usual? Does it look weak and empty? It would be deflated, weak, and empty, especially if he had just ejaculated. This is a sign he probably was up to no good before getting home to you. Here’s a disclaimer, it’s possible your partner is just exhausted but do not discard your findings.
The sack test is not a hundred percent, but it would take you close. Watch his body language, too, there’s probably something to hide if he hesitates too much.
If you’ve done almost every sexual acrobat you know and your man still isn’t getting hard, it should tell you he has probably had sex already. They are a bunch of other reasons why this would happen, but this is the most significant. A man who has just roughed up the sheets with someone else would take a while to get hard again, it could also mean he’s not sexually attracted to you anymore.
Why? Perhaps he is seeing another woman, it could also mean he is exhausted, but events leading to this moment would help clarify if he’s cheating or not. If he eventually gets hard, check how long he lasts; if it’s shorter than the usual, then what is his reaction? A man would usually be embarrassed and apologetic about this. However, a cheating man would be quick to blame it on someone or something else, being overly defensive about it is a sign.
Like I said before, there would be a lot of going down and getting dirty to get to the bottom of things. Smelling his body for unfamiliar scents is one of the ways to know if your partner is cheating. You could perceive a ladies’ perfume on his neck or shirt or taste something unusual on him when he comes home.
If down there smells like soap, especially feminine soap, that’s a huge sign. He is covering something up, think about it, what would cause him to put soap on there at work? Except he was doing himself, but can he do that at work? If you taste something like latex on him when you get down, that’s the aftermath of using a condom; it’ll leave a taste.
If your partner is cheating without protection, that’s a red flag; it would smell and taste like semen when you get in there. You’ll be able to tell if he was intimate with a different woman if his penis is still a bit wet, and the length of it smells like semen.
That your significant other spends a reasonable amount of time outside the home with other people, with no solid excuse is a sign he’s up to something naughty, especially if he was fond of getting back home early and things are different now. In addition to getting home late, your partner is secretive about who he was with and what they were up to.
As soon as he returns home, that’s the best time to hug that man and take a whiff of any strangers' perfume. If he’s not cheating, then he shouldn’t be smelling like roses and lemon, when his perfume notes are woodier. If he unapologetically does whatever he feels, then this man shows little regard for you. Dating this kind of a person is tiring and pointless, he’s having an affair and probably isn’t in love with you anymore.
Is your partner acting weird by refusing to get intimate with you? If he’s always coming up with one excuse or the other day after day, something isn’t right. He may be having an affair with another woman. He would rather take time off on his own even when you both are in the same apartment.
If the man says nothing is bothering him when it looks like something is eating him up on the inside, it might not be that he cheated on you, maybe he’s going through some things. I’d advise you to give him time to come around on his own. Trying to get a person who doesn’t want to speak with you to talk to you is a very dire situation to put yourself in, the rejection would sting.
If your man is getting too close to a lady, that’s a warning sign. You need to act on it quickly before it gets too much to handle. It’s okay for him to be friends with other ladies but there’s a thin line. Watch the way they communicate, if things get really intense between them when they are around each other, they might have had sex or are planning to.
Are they touching for too long? Do you catch him staring at her or is there some kind of unspoken communication going on between them? It’s easy to figure out when two people are silently flirting with each other, it doesn’t necessarily mean the man is cheating, but he may be planning to.
He probably would start hiding his phone from you and taking more calls outside than he usually does, if this is the case, then something is up. It’s easier to know your husband is cheating when you know and have seen a prospect. Cheating is a hard pill to swallow, nobody deserves to be treated like that in a relationship.
Another trick to finding out if your partner just slept with another girl is to check for physical signs on his body. Could be a hickey or scratches, those things are not easy to get rid of; more so, you’d find it if he has one. Has he been coming home with weird injuries on his body, says it’s nothing when you ask him? That’s a sign.
Especially if your partner is someone who’s into little rough activities during sex, don’t ignore any new scars it might just be a tale of what he has been up to behind your back. Guys are good at hiding stuff like this from their partners; the reason he’s putting up a front is cause you’re going to find something.
More so, you have to be smooth about this search; he could realize you’re looking for something and get real defensive about it. This man can make you look stupid even when he’s guilty of what you think he’s been up to. As long as you have no proof that he’s cheating, you’ll just look crazy, take your time and be sweet about this investigation.
Jumping on him once he gets back to rip his clothes off in search is a bit too much unless you smother yourselves like that usually. Get him to relax and be subtle about the search till you find it; it may not be there so it didn’t make this obvious.
This sign may come off as a huge cliché, but it’s true; some people glow after sex, mostly if it was good sex. Take yourself, for example; think back to when you went full-blown kinky and satisfied your dark sexual desires, weren’t you happy and glowing on the inside? I’m sure you were.
News flash, you’re not the only one that feels this way after good sex. You become giggly and excited about almost everything. It happens to men; they may try to stifle it, but it’s there. Maybe you want to know about your crush and if he’s having sex with anyone else, the glow is the best way you can tell from a distance.
Watch him, is he smiling to himself like he just had flashbacks of a fantastic time? Is there someone he’s touchy with? If yes, he might just be cheating or seeing someone else.
Except you catch a man in the act of cheating it’s hard to figure out what he’s up to, you can check by any changes in how he smells, or if he comes home wearing different clothes. Although smelling the penis and checking the color of his semen would help, it’s only viable within the time frame of his sexual activity.
If your partner is cheating or has cheated on you, there’s bound to be some behavioral changes. They don’t want to sleep with you as much or at all; they hardly come home early or at all. You could also find out by checking him physically for anything distinctive smell when he gets back home.
There would be a change in how they interact with each other, long stares, intimate touching, and public display of affection. If they aren’t an item, things might become awkward between them. They may equally be pretty secretive with their inside signals, giddy around each other, and seen together at odd hours.
It would begin to feel like you are sharing his time and attention with someone else. If he’s being a bit too secretive about where he’s going or what he is up to, that’s a sign. In a long-distance relationship, continuously declining your call or asking you to call only when he says it’s okay is another sign, you’re not the only one.
If a partner loves you, he would not want to lose you. Situations that make him feel like he can lose you would scare him. Try to make him jealous; if he doesn’t flinch, he probably knows you’re just messing around, or he simply doesn’t love you that much. A man that loves you would make sacrifices for you, care for you, and would look out for your happiness always.

Here's a simple fact, lovers of loud fireworks: your enjoyment is being bought at the price of animal pain. Many dogs are terrified of fireworks. So also, I'm sure, are wild animals -- deer, birds, raccoons, etc.
On behalf of our dog, Zu Zu, I just want you to be aware of what you're doing when you set off loud fireworks. I can't inject a sense of compassion into your fireworks-loving brain, though I sure wish I could.
I just want to speak for the stressed-out dogs who can't write a blog post.
And even if Zu Zu could, (she's a pretty damn smart dog) for most of yesterday, July 4, she couldn't have, because she was busy trembling, shaking, anxiously running around the house, hiding in the indoor kennel-with-a-curtain I made for her.
There are lots of dogs like our dog, canines terrified by fireworks.
So I can virtually guarantee that if you live in a populated area, and you're setting off loud fireworks, you're causing severe distress to some dogs. Maybe many dogs.
We live out in the country. Most houses are on several acre lots. Nonetheless, the fireworks started going off early in the afternoon on July 4 and didn't stop until after midnight.
If you're a fireworks lover, you don't want to know what went through my mind as I did my best to reassure our beloved dog, who is usually calm and relaxed, that her dog world wasn't coming to an end.
I'll just say that even though I'm not the most empathic guy (far from it), I'd feel terrible setting off loud fireworks that I knew were causing dogs and other animals to suffer. Knowing that would take away any pleasure I might get from fireworks.
Maybe you loud fireworks lovers don't care. Maybe you think you have a right to do whatever you want on July 4, even if it bothers animals. OK. Like I said, compassion can't be forced on anybody.
I just want you to think about what you're doing. Most people claim to be animal lovers. Most people wouldn't intentionally hurt a dog.
So why did loud fireworks lovers hurt my dog for most of the day yesterday? I'm asking for Zu Zu. But every person who sets off fireworks should be asking that question of themselves.
I don't get how people feel fine celebrating the day in 1776 when our founding fathers said everyone has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness by causing dogs and other animals so much unhappiness. | <urn:uuid:85ea6195-7bfe-4352-b3b1-88b051bd4877> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://hinessight.blogs.com/hinessight/2013/07/if-you-set-off-loud-fireworks-youre-terrifying-dogs.html | 2024-04-18T14:12:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.98183 | 544 |

Magnolia Building. Image: Bass Photo Collection, Indiana Historical Society
It was May 1875 when John B. Cleaveland filed for a building permit for a new five-story brick structure at the intersection of Maryland, Kentucky, and Tennessee (now Capitol), estimating the cost at $60,000. In June 1875, William Ballard won the contract to build the “Cleaveland Block.” Cleaveland was born in 1826 in Quebec City, Canada and he came to Indianapolis in 1864. Cleaveland went into the real estate business with John S. Spann. A few years later, he patented a couple of novel iron fence designs that became popular in Indianapolis and elsewhere.
Ads and endorsements appeared for “Cleaveland Yard Fence,” used in front of prestigious homes on Meridian Street. In 1889 the homes of A. B. Gates, and later J. H. Clark were noted specifically and another notice said the fence was “going up in every part of the city. It is self-supporting, has no unsightly braces, and does not hide the beauty it encloses.” The fencing was manufactured at 20-22 Biddle Street, “three squares south of the Massachusetts Avenue depot.”
The Cleaveland Block was designed by William Henry Brown, the same architect who designed another beautiful flat iron building at the intersection of Virginia Avenue, Washington and Pennsylvania streets: the Vance Block, a. k. a. Indiana Trust Company Building. Brown was a Lawrenceburg native who moved to Indianapolis at age 17. His father was a contractor, which likely inspired his interest in architecture. While studying architecture, the Civil War broke out and he entered military service. He returned his study after the war’s conclusion. Years later, he was president of the Brown-Ketcham Iron Works, secretary of Colonnade Realty Company, for which he designed the Colonnade Apartments, among others. He also designed the Masonic Temple on the southeast corner of Washington and Captiol (Tennessee), which preceded the one that still stands on Illinois Street. His obituary says he built the very first double in Indianapolis–also on Illinois street.
When the Cleaveland block was finished in 1876, the namesake owner moved his real estate business into the building. John B. Cleaveland and his son Charles F were entrepreneurial. In addition to the real estate business, they also ran an insurance business for a few years. In 1878, Charles F. Cleaveland and Fred D. Appel started Cleaveland & Appel. The next year, the insurance company was just “Cleaveland & Co.” with John J. Appel as a clerk and living at the Cleaveland Block. John J. Appel continued with Cleaveland & Co. through 1881. Charles F. partnered up with Robert H. Adams to continue the insurance business in 1883. Such was the liminal nature of such business.
The rental units were fairly filled in 1878, and noteworthy among the business tenants, attorney and future vice-president, Charles W. Fairbanks who had offices there for a few years. The agency of Western Assurance Company of Toronto moved into the building in 1879. In March 1882, the Indiana, Bloomington & Western Railroad office which had been in the building since July 1876 vacated the Cleaveland block; plans were announced that the building would be converted into a hotel and boarding house.
In 1901, the building was sold to (Michael H. Spades for $37,500. This appears to be when the building’s name was changed to “The Magnolia.” It was remodeled within a few years leaving the building with 136 apartments in addition to the commercial space. As with most commercial spaces, many businesses came and went. One early member of the automobile industry, the “Indianapolis Motor Car Company” established its first sales room here in 1907, where they represented the Dragon and Logan cars, while also working on models of their own.
In 1916, the building suffered a large fire that started in the attic, causing $30,000-35,000 worth of damage to the building and its contents. Renters on lower floors chucked some of their belongings out the window in an attempt to salvage them. Just over a year after that fire, at the end of 1917, Michael Spades’ son, Myron, sold the building to David M. Kitselman for $80,000. It was at this time, the name of the building was changed to the Columbia Building. Through the 1920s, the Betsy Ross candy shop was in the building and in 1929, the Goldsmith Brothers started a new drug store business, after selling their prior drug store venture to a chain called Walgreen Drug Company. There are countless stories of lives and businesses that touched this building.
In October 1939, businesses were vacating the premises so the building could be razed and replaced with a parking lot and filling station. Today, its grave is somewhere under the vast convention center. | <urn:uuid:2ad8fca9-01b2-48ca-86ba-30d77deb7e03> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://historicindianapolis.com/then-and-now-the-cleaveland-magnolia-building/ | 2024-04-18T14:24:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.981745 | 1,056 |

Nancy Sit and Julian Cheung work at an old style tea house in Macau courtesy of on.cc |
Julian Cheung Chi Lam, Charmaine Sheh Si Man, Nancy Sit Ka Yin and Joe Chen Chiao-En yesterday worked on their film RETURN OF THE CUCKOO (SUP YUET CHOR NG DIK YUET GUONG) in Macau's Casa de Cha Long Wa. Many fans waited for a glimpse of their idol. Because the restaurant had little space and had over 100 Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan media outlets covering the shoot, the film company could only arranged for the actors to stand on the balcony for the media to take photos. When the leads appeared, fans screamed. The actors waved to the media and the fans. Director Patrick Kong (Yip Lim Sum) used a selfie stick to take photos with the actors.
Chi Lam said that the restaurant scene explained his love triangle with the two female leads. As for working at the restaurant, the actors was the happiest about being able to try traditional dim sum at the same time. Chiao-En knew that Hong Kong rarely had this type of old style restaurants and was very happy to be able to make a film there. She even tried the Roast Pork Rice! Sister Ka Yin was the happiest about running to some old neighbors from the series days. She also praised the restaurant owner because actors not only were able to enjoy the old style dim sum but the boss also presented the 30 year old Pu Er tea for everyone to savor. Ah Sheh also said that it was very hard to be able to go to an old style restaurant for tea in Hong Kong, thus she was very happy to have the traditional dim sum there for breakfast and lunch this time. | <urn:uuid:b2c34f3a-0f95-4a97-b8ab-e2e416a1f487> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://hktopten.blogspot.com/2015/04/20150413-return-of-cuckoo-cast-enjoys.html | 2024-04-18T14:55:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.969523 | 420 |
Stan Wawrinka and Garbine Muguruza relationship

The duo has been training together in Geneva, Switzerland, sparking rumors and curiosity among fans about the nature of their relationship.
Wawrinka and Muguruza have not only trained together, but they have also shared moments of relaxation, both on and off the court. The athletes posted photos and videos on their Instagram profiles, showcasing their workouts and leisure activities.

This wouldn’t be Wawrinka’s first foray into a relationship with a fellow tennis player. Following his separation from his wife, with whom he shares a daughter, Wawrinka was romantically involved with Croatian tennis player Donna Vekic from 2014 to 2019. The relationship gained attention after Nick Kyrgios, an Australian tennis player, revealed an alleged affair between Vekic and another player during a match against Wawrinka.

His noteworthy victories include triumphs against tennis giants like Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.

MY FIRST OLD FIRM DERBY
My name is Thomas. I’m 28 years old and have been an avid follower of Glasgow Rangers since the age of 5. I have many great memories regarding my club, but some of the fondest involve the Old Firm Derby.
As you know, Rangers vs Celtic is arguably the biggest derby in the world. It certainly is for me!
The Old Firm’s shared hatred stems from some very dark religious and social divides. And nothing gets the heart racing like being in the stadium and seeing it unfold in front of you.
Let me take you back to 20th August 2005, the day of my first derby.
I remember waking up extremely nervous but every bit as excited. Rangers came into this game as Champions of Scotland. But Celtic had a new manager with new ideas and players.
My dad, his friend and I met up in Glasgow City centre – where the real atmosphere always starts. You proceed to board the city subway, which in around 12 minutes puts you directly outside Ibrox stadium.
During those 12 minutes the singing drowns out any thoughts you may have inside your head, and your body is covered head to toe in goosebumps.
There’s a line in a Rangers song that goes “…. it’s the greatest sight that I have ever seen”. And it certainly was when I first walked into Ibrox.
A sea of red, white, and blue Rangers fans in front of me and 8000 green and white Celtic fans to the corner. Each trying to out-sing each other.
As always, the game started frantically. Rangers took the lead through Dado Prso – a Croatian international and a favorite with the Rangers fans. The first goal is always important in these games, and this time it led to Rangers dominating the match.
Celtic’s Alan Thompson was sent off in the 40th minute as tensions rose, and Rangers made it 2-0 straight after half time through Belgium’s Thomas Buffel.
Rangers would go on to see the match out 3-1, and the atmosphere leaving the ground was unbelievable. Strangers hugged, kissed and high fived. I had only ever watched these games on TV before, and to be a part of it was something else.
I’ll always remember that feeling when that first goal went in. One of sheer relief and euphoria. I hope whoever reads this will one day experience what I did and see why, for me, this is the biggest derby in the world.
Thomas is a Glasgow Rangers fan and hosts Homefans tours in Glasgow. | <urn:uuid:2473f94c-32cd-44c2-84c1-e97b813ef8f0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://homefans.net/my-first-old-firm-derby/ | 2024-04-18T13:35:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.96846 | 546 |
Well this little project was never intended to be a DIY post for this blog. It was totally just something fun and "Fall-ish" for us to do on Porterville Night. If I had had this post in mind from the beginning, I would have taken some specific pics of supplies and all that biz. And I would have bought some serious bling bling to bedazzle them in the best kind of way.
But this is real life y'all. This was not staged to make a pretty Pinterest pic or to create a blog post. It was just us doing life that happened to turn into a blog post. Now you can truly see how easy it is to do a fun project with stuff you already have without spending any extra money. Sure...I ain't gonna lie....I wanted more gems and pearls to bling it out big time, but we had the same amount of fun without them. And the having fun part is where I gauge the success.
I came up with this idea strictly because a few years back, we discovered that my girls are allergic to pumpkin. Who knew? We didn't. We hadn't carved a pumpkin in years and now they were all grown up and I thought it would be fun. After scooping out all the insides and carving it all up, by the end of the night, they were both covered in red splotches and whelps.
So now we stick to painting pumpkins. But to be totally honest, I didn't feel like dragging out all my paint and our pumpkins were tiny so we didn't have much of a "canvas" to work with. So I rummaged through some of my stash and decided we could use push pins and tacks and see what we come up.
I loved the results.
So easy and so cute.
We didn't use the first bit of glue of any kind. It was mess free. Holla.
Some of the supplies I had on hand were:
- colored tacks
- gems that have little holes so you can use push pins to secure them (see picture in cup)
- silver tacks
- push pins with colored balls on top
- pearl corsage pins
- brass fasteners
- page reinforcers
We had Carolyn hanging out with us so I tried to find something that would be easy for her to create with. I dug around and found a pack of page reinforcers. They were perfect to make cute polka dots on her pumpkin.
We even convinced Nick to join us and he did his entirely using stick pins.
Carolyn had a ball and her pumpkin was almost as cute as she is.
She kept holding it up and would look at it and then declare it was perfect.
But then she would keep on adding stuff. A girl after my own heart.
She was so proud of it.
We gave her the job of "Pumpkin Judge".
She took it seriously as you can see in this pic.
" First Place...Bruda Nick. Second Place.....Lidi.
Ummm.....Third Place...Hmmmmm. I guess that would be me.
Fourth Place....that's you Stephy."
Ouch. We all died laughing.
Here are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place winners.
The honorable mention (I prefer that over last place) is the one taking the picture. As in me.
It was a ton of fun.
But be warned....the only hazard to this project is the "pumpkin pee".
They do squirt and leak. Lydia found this out on her drive home.
Happy Fall y'all!
Be sure to tag me on instagram if you bedazzle a pumpkin of your own. I'd love to see them! | <urn:uuid:42d245e1-fa03-493e-9594-7c1226acc4b0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://honeyholden.blogspot.com/2015/10/bedazzled-no-carve-pumpkins-hanging.html | 2024-04-18T13:17:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.9881 | 789 |

An extended offering for future graduates looking for operational, entrepreneurial and academic excellence
“We believe that excellence is formed in the perfect blend of intelligence and emotions, hard skills and soft skills, theory and practice.”
EHL – Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne was founded in 1893 as the world’s very first hotel school, located in Switzerland.
After 125 years of pioneering and reinventing the education model that made its reputation and the success of its alumni, EHL is introducing a new opportunity for students to learn and practice their entrepreneurial skills through an internship or through a consultancy mandate in their own start-up hosted on our Innovation hub, located near the Lausanne Campus.
Furthermore for a growing number of students who are attracted by the core hotel or F&B business within the hospitality sector our professional pathway leads to the same accredited Bachelor of Science degree and is delivered on our Alpine campus in Graubunden (Grisons).
In the preparatory year students learn the fundamentals of business ethics: responsibility, attention to detail, discipline, punctuality and professional appearance. On top of acquiring these behaviors, they go through 20 weeks of hands-on workshops and operational practice. This is a perfect opportunity for EHL to introduce the students to new technologies not only in digital marketing classes but starting with operations in hospitality, with a first VR simulation of Housekeeping.
The ever-growing number of applicants into the bachelor program demonstrates our success.

Galveston Bay Oil Spill
Frequently Asked Questions
Galveston Bay is officially re-opened for commercial and recreational use, but what remains to be done for the wildlife still affected?
Houston Audubon will continue to monitor the Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary and other locations directly affected by the spill, or known to be inhabited by potentially impacted birds. Our independent observations and data collections are important evidence as to the short-term effects of the spill and its potential long-term impacts on wildlife, their habitats, and their food supply for which we remain very concerned. If affected negatively, this could impact the habitat’s ability to support robust populations, and especially could affect important nesting behaviors and outcomes. In summary, we are largely out of the woods for the immediate threats, but we will focus on short-term monitoring for the next few weeks and then revert to long-term monitoring.
What is happening at the Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary, and may I visit?
Houston Audubon is conducting conservation business as usual which means we are managing the land in a way to provide a safe haven for wild birds which feed, rest, and nest there. Every five to ten days, we conduct the Texas Shorebird Survey, created a year ago in response to the Deepwater Horizon incident. The info collected establishes baseline data for how birds are using the beaches and other habitats on the sanctuary on a regular basis. Currently, all sanctuaries normally open for visitation will remain open, including Bolivar Flats.
Will the Spring Migration 2014 public events, bird walks, and workshops planned for High Island or Galveston FeatherFest’s & Nature PhotoFest event schedule be impacted by the spill?
Currently, no changes have been made to event or festival schedules. The High Island Spring Migration open house is Saturday, April 5 and is free and open to the public. After that date, regular admissions is $7 per day (students and children are free) or $25 for a season pass to access all sanctuaries. Saturday, May 3 please visit our tent at Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary for the Bolivar “Big Sit” where Houston Audubon will attempt to break its previous year’s record of 77 species seen in one day from the flats. That morning, we will also host our monthly 1st Saturdays Bolivar Beach Ramble which is an interpretive walk from a naturalist point of view, free and open to the public. No preregistration required. Meet at 10 AM at the vehicular barrier.
Are you taking volunteers to rehabilitate oiled birds?
Thank you for offering to help. Houston Audubon is part of a regional team responding to the spill. Our role is to watch for, document, and report oiled birds and to coordinate with the lead agencies managing the wildlife recovery effort – that's the US Fish and Wildlife Service and Texas Parks and Wildlife. Presently, we have not been pulled in to aid with the bird washing operation part of the effort which is being handled by Wildlife Response Services based in Baytown. A Houston-based partner called the Wildlife Center of TX is on standby to also help. If you would like to volunteer in a capacity other than cleaning the birds, please contact our partners at the Galveston Bay Foundation who are standing by to register volunteers who will be called upon as needed at www.galvbay.org or 281-332-3381.
Why can't I help clean the birds?
The birds are being handled by highly trained volunteers through Wildlife Response Services. Right now we understand there is enough help for that task. Please stay tuned in case the volume of birds in need changes, but for now we are being told there is an ample supply of trained personnel.
What do I do if I encounter an oiled bird?
Please keep a safe, respectable distance from the bird as it is under heavy stress. Please call 1-888-384-2000 to report oiled birds and wildlife. That number is to the Galveston County Office of Emergency Management which is centrally handling the information.
How can I help?
Houston Audubon owns and manages 17 bird sanctuaries encompassing approximately 3,400 acres throughout the Houston-Galveston region. Every day, we work to ensure these lands are protected for the use of birds and other wildlife. Please consider helping us meet our mission by becoming a local, supporting member of Houston Audubon, making a donation, becoming a regular volunteer and spreading the word about our conservation work. Please see the Ways to Help section of our website for more information.

Asians follow eastern changes and advance in their careers, but they remain classic when it comes to their families and relationships. They want to find the ideal lover and start a committed relationship with them. Hence, it’s crucial to comprehend their cultural norms before dating an Asiatic. Dealing with their family and customs https://hidjabaya.com/blogs/news/7-south-asian-muslim-wedding-traditions-you-should-know may be challenging if you do n’t. But with some understanding and perseverance, you can get past these obstacles.
Most Asians are extremely conventional when it comes to dating, and they expect their partners to respect their beliefs and tradition. Additionally, they value their families ‘ opinions and regard them https://lovestrategies.com/online-dating-tips-for-women/ as the most significant individuals in their lives. To get an Asian woman’s soul, it is crucial to make an impression on their family and gain their trust.
There are some points that are taboo in Asian dating culture, just like in most cultures. For instance, affectionate outbursts are uncommon in Asia. Instead, they would rather express their love by making close-knit cues like kissing and holding hands. They are also really timid, so you might never feel comfortable touching them in front of others. Additionally, the majority of Asians dislike talking about themselves or taking center stage and prefer to speak softly.
The generosity and charm of Eastern women appeal to a lot of international people. They are drawn to the fact that they put in a lot of effort and are committed to their work. Additionally, the majority of Asiatic women have robust moral principles and show their relatives respect. They also hold their husbands to a great standard and are very defensive of their kids.
Asian women’s eagerness to move rapidly toward the next phase in a partnership is another element that contributes to their why men like asian women reputation of dating Asian men. This is due to the fact that the majority of them are driven to marry and have children. As a result, even after just one date, it is common for them to introduce their schedules to their parents. While it may seem strange to do this in the West, giving their relatives a deadline shows that they are committed to the union.
Asiatic American girls, on the other hand, are viewed as amazing and obedient by many Westerners. In a research conducted by the Asian American Journal of Psychology, responders reported that their acquaintances, companions and loving lovers held regarded values about Asian American women. Asian American women were thought to be amazing, little, and subservient among these stereotypes.
The research observations even showed that Cultural Duality, Conventionality, Reservedness, and Expertise- Seeking are the four Group Traits that best describe the Asian dating lifestyle. These characteristics are correlated with an individual’s levels of Asian American id and diploma of acculturation. The findings of this study also imply that a person’s perceived skill to deadline an Asiatic person is positively correlated with how well they have adapted. The connection between indoctrination and these factors, though, is unclear. | <urn:uuid:6c84d031-736d-4374-9813-f79881a4da90> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://hrising.thedesignerr.com/recognizing-eastern-dating-traditions/ | 2024-04-18T12:50:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.974858 | 661 |

I have a new demo available for download.
Or actually, it's not new, it's been done for quite a while, it's just that I haven't published it before. This is the demo that goes with my article "Post-tonemapping resolve for high quality HDR antialiasing in D3D10" in
A short update while I'm at it. As you can see, it's been two months since the last update. The main reason for this is that I've been quite busy lately. I bought an apartment recently and have spent quite a lot of time getting it in order. Since I rented second hand before and didn't have any furniture or anything of my own I had to get a lot of new stuff, and that has taken quite some time and effort lately. The good news is that that's pretty much done now, so things should get back to normal. As for demos, I have a couple in the pipeline, so don't worry about that.

Good to hear.
/me hopes to see more OpenGL demos
Friday, March 28, 2008
Nice, looks pretty good, just a few things though
1. the fps counter is a bit to inconsistent, on my computer it jumps randomly anywhere from 16 to 1600fps and sometimes even over 3k, though actual framerate seems ok.
2. movements are not working, when pushing forward it jumps randomly back and forwards, clearly this is related to #1.
I have a quadcore, 2GB ram, a GF9600gt and vista installed

hi Humus, i was using your framework3 for my school project and i change some of its parts like 3ds loading on Model class etc.. so i cant directly change to new version.
would you please put a file that tells which parts of the framework updated.. i realized joystick support easily but anything else?
"/me hopes to see more OpenGL demos"
and me too
thanks a lot for your great work..
Sunday, March 30, 2008
Humus... why you don't use logarithmic/exponential exposure better? I find the 1.0f - exp(-col*exposure) too color-destructive.
Perhaps would be better to apply some kind of histogram like Valve does or a Reinhard's operator.
Thursday, April 3, 2008
Demo looks really nice. Anyway will this algo be fast enough to use with high complexity scene at high framerate (F.e. in games)?
and of course me hopes to o see more OpenGL demos too.
Btw. Good luck in your new apartment ;-)
Friday, April 4, 2008
I usually don't keep track of what changes I do. You best bet if you want to merge it with any of your own changes is to use a Diff tool, like WinMerge (haven't used it myself so I don't know how good it is).
The tonemap operator I use roughly matches what cameras do. The trick is selecting a good exposure. In this demo I just let the user set it so you can see how the effect of the custom resolve changes as you change exposure.
I'm not convinced that histogram based methods neccesarily are better.
It should be fast for complex scenes. In fact, since this just changes the resolve and not the scene rendering it will have less performance impact with complex scenes than on simple scenes. | <urn:uuid:3d01d325-3efd-4279-a5d5-fb2307a431e2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://humus.name/index.php?page=Comments&ID=201&start=0 | 2024-04-18T13:08:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.966123 | 733 |

This exciting new partnership will see Kappa supply kits, training and leisure wear for the Parksiders.
Kappa already have big presence in Leeds with our South Leeds neighbours Leeds United already a major partner of the Italian brand and new Chief Commercial Officer Paul Taylor was delighted to be extending their presence within the city. “It’s fantastic news that we have been able to secure this deal with Kappa which is an iconic technical sportswear brand.
“The club is looking forward to establishing a long term partnership with the Kappa team which will be beneficial to both parties”
The Parksiders will return to a traditional home design for 2019. Sneak previews of the new home shirt will be revealed across our social media channels soon with home replicas available to purchase prior to Christmas.
Paul went on to say: “We are really excited with the designs for next seasons playing kits.
“We will be returning to a more traditional design for the home shirt and will be paying tribute to David Plange’s 1999 Grand Final winners with our away design, which is really exciting for the club and something I’m sure our supporters will love.”
More details on the away design, celebrating the 20 year anniversary of the 1999 Northern Ford Premiership Grand Final win will be released in the new year leading up to the League 1 season.
With its global head office in Turin, Italy, Kappa is one of the world’s leading sportswear brands and originates back to 1967, boasting a rich history of participation in all major sports.
The brand is looking to expand its footprint in Rugby League in the UK and see this partnership as key to doing that.
Alan Keylock, Rugby Sales Manager of Kappa UK & Ireland, said: “Kappa are delighted to have become the official kit partner of Hunslet RLFC.
“With 18 years’ experience in professional rugby, across both codes, Kappa have the vision of replicating their European dominance over here in the UK.
“Partnering with an iconic name in Rugby league such as Hunslet falls in line with that strategy seamlessly.
“We aim to grow alongside our partners and share the inevitable success both on and off the field.
On the kit designs for 2019, Alan was equally confident that the designs would be well received by staff and supporters alike: “Having worked closely with the clubs management team on design and product selection, I am confident the playing staff as well as the loyal Hunslet supporters will be excited by what the brand have to offer.
“I would like to wish Gary Thornton and the team all the very best for the season ahead and look forward to working with the club going forward.”

As parents and caregivers, ensuring that young children receive the right nutrients is crucial for their growth, development, and overall well-being. Establishing healthy eating habits early on lays the foundation for a lifetime of good health.
In this blog post, we’ll explore eight important nutritional tips to guide parents in providing the best nourishment for their young kids.
Nourishing Little Bodies: 8 Important Nutritional Tips for Young Kids
- Variety is Key: Introduce a Rainbow of Foods
Encourage a diverse and colorful range of foods to ensure that children receive a broad spectrum of essential nutrients. Include a mix of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and dairy in their diets.
This not only provides a rich array of vitamins and minerals but also helps develop a palate for different flavors.
- Balanced Meals: The Power of the Food Pyramid
Follow the principles of the food pyramid, incorporating a balance of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals in each meal. Aim for a variety of nutrients from different food groups to support the diverse needs of growing bodies and minds.
- Hydration Matters: Emphasize the Importance of Water
Water is essential for overall health, and developing the habit of drinking water early is crucial. Limit sugary beverages and opt for water as the primary source of hydration. Keeping hydrated supports digestion, concentration, and overall cognitive function in young kids.
- Mindful Snacking: Choose Nutrient-Rich Options
Snacking is a natural part of a child’s eating routine, and choosing nutritious snacks is key. Offer options such as fruits, vegetables, yogurt, and whole-grain crackers. Limit processed snacks high in sugars and artificial additives, promoting healthier alternatives that contribute to sustained energy levels.
- Calcium for Strong Bones: Include Dairy and Alternatives
Calcium is vital for the development of strong bones and teeth. Ensure your child’s diet includes dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt, or suitable alternatives for those with lactose intolerance. Dark leafy greens and fortified plant-based milk can also be good sources of calcium.
- Limit Added Sugars: Sweetness in Moderation
While some natural sugars are found in fruits and dairy, it’s essential to limit the intake of added sugars. Be mindful of sugary cereals, candies, and sweetened beverages. Opt for naturally sweet alternatives, and use moderation when incorporating treats into your child’s diet.
- Healthy Fats: Embrace the Right Sources
Fats are crucial for brain development and overall health. Choose healthy sources of fats such as avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. Limit saturated and trans fats found in fried and processed foods, promoting a balanced approach to fats in the diet.
- Lead by Example: Create a Positive Food Environment
Children are highly influenced by the eating habits of those around them. Be a positive role model by demonstrating healthy eating habits, sharing meals as a family, and involving your child in age-appropriate food preparation activities.
Creating a positive food environment fosters a healthy relationship with food that extends into adulthood.
Nourishing young bodies is a rewarding and essential aspect of parenting. By incorporating these nutritional tips into your child’s diet, you are laying the groundwork for a healthy and happy future.
Remember, each child is unique, and it’s important to be flexible and responsive to their individual needs. By fostering a positive attitude towards food and making informed choices, you contribute to the well-being and vitality of the youngest members of your family. | <urn:uuid:b129e25d-0d6f-4f32-b278-28f5adf3070b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://hydeparkplayschool.com/nourishing-little-bodies-8-important-nutritional-tips-for-young-kids/ | 2024-04-18T13:54:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.925909 | 739 |
Shaving at home can often feel like a struggle. While you may want smooth skin year-round, having to use razors or wax on a weekly basis can seriously frustrate you and irritate your skin. At Hydra Med Spa and Wellness, we offer advanced XEO® laser hair reduction treatments to help you get the silky-smooth results you deserve without the irritation. Best of all, these treatments require no downtime and offer longer-lasting outcomes than traditional methods. Book an appointment at our clinic to learn more.
How Does XEO® Laser Hair Reduction Work?
XEO® laser hair reduction was created to address stubborn unwanted hair, eliminating it with little, if any, downtime afterward. XEO®’s hair reduction attachment, the ProWave LX™, works by emitting pulses of highly concentrated light energy directly into hair follicles. This concentration of light destroys the hair at its source and stalls the regrowth process, giving you long-lasting results.
Why Choose XEO®?
The benefits of choosing XEO® Laser Hair Reduction include minimal downtime after treatment, long-term results, and little-to-no side effects. The XEO® can remove even the fairest hair, delivering a degree of smoothness that traditional shaving simply can’t match. Most importantly, this treatment eliminates hair and keeps it off for far longer than traditional razor shaving. When hair does grow back, it will appear much finer than before.
What Can I Expect?
XEO® Hair Reduction is convenient, safe, and effective, but can feel slightly uncomfortable to some. Thankfully the XEO® is designed to minimize any unpleasant sensations you may experience during your sessions. Not all hair follicles in a treatment area can be targeted in a single session, so you must schedule multiple sessions to get the best outcome. The number of sessions it takes depends on the area being treated, the density of the hair, and your skin and hair type.

EPA issues new definition of “waters of the United States” under the Clean Water Act…again
Just before the new year, the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers announced plans to formalize and clarify the definition of “waters of the United States”, or WOTUS, under the Clean Water Act after years of back and forth and uncertainty among regulators.
Signed in 1972, the Clean Water Act (CWA) has served as one of the hallmark laws governing environmental regulation and protection in the United States. Prior to the CWA, pollution of our nation’s waters was rampant and they were often regarded as the dumping ground of industry, leading to such extremes as the Cuyahoga River in Ohio catching fire numerous times.
However, like many broad-reaching regulations, the interpretation of the CWA has long been a topic of fierce debate and has been heard by the Supreme Court twice and is currently being heard in a third case (Sackett v. EPA) involving a north Idaho couple.
While this law has been debated in courtrooms and on campaign trails since it was signed, things really heated up in 2015 when the Obama administration signed new rules defining WOTUS. This set of rules expanded the CWA jurisdiction and was heralded by environmental organizations as a crucial step in the right direction while being vilified by industry lobbyists as governmental overreach and even unconstitutional.
Since the signing of the Obama-era rule, there has been an almost constant back and forth involving the courts and different attempts to push the legislation to one side or another. Most recently, the United States District Court for Arizona threw out the 2020 Trump-era replacement rule that severely gutted and rolled back the protections that the Obama EPA established. This leads us to today and the Biden administration’s attempt to provide some clarity to where things stand.
Under the new rule, the EPA revived a definition of what constitutes WOTUS that had been in place since 1986, reverting the definition to the pre-2015 understanding. Part of this revised rule includes two standardized tests to help determine jurisdiction of the CWA on a case-by-case basis for some of the more debated protections involving wetlands and non-navigable waters.
Relatively Permanent: This test established waterbodies that are “relatively permanent, standing, or continuously flowing waters connected to” traditional navigable waters are protected.
Significant Nexus: This test clarifies that certain waterbodies such as wetlands or ephemeral streams are subject to the CWA “based on their connection to and effect on larger downstream waters that Congress fundamentally sought to protect. A significant nexus exists if the waterbody (alone or in combination) significantly affects the chemical, physical, or biological integrity of traditional navigable waters, the territorial seas, or interstate waters.”
In a press release announcing the new rules, EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan stated “Following extensive stakeholder engagement, and building on what we’ve learned from previous rules, EPA is working to deliver a durable definition of WOTUS that safeguards our nation’s waters, strengthens economic opportunity, and protects people’s health while providing greater certainty for farmers, ranchers, and landowners.”
While we are pleased to see some additional clarity come from the Biden administration regarding the CWA, we know that Idaho thrives on clean water and hope to see additional protections make their way into law sooner rather than later. However, if the past has taught us anything, we should all expect this most recent set of rules to be challenged once they take effect later this year.

Stress-Free Planning Hacks
Tips and Insights from a Seasoned Bride
Planning a wedding can often feel like a daunting task, filled with uncertainties and unexpected challenges. As someone who has navigated through the ups and downs of wedding planning firsthand, I understand the importance of seeking guidance and support while infusing personal touches into every aspect of the process. Join me as I share invaluable tips and insights to help you plan your perfect day, while also shedding light on my own wedding planning journey.
1. Ask for Help: If you’re like me and couldn’t afford a wedding planner service, fear not! Embrace the power of organisation with tools like our best selling wedding planner and digital tools. Your beloved diary will become your best friend and lifeline throughout the planning process. Whether it’s jotting down ideas, tracking appointments, or managing budgets, having a dedicated space to organise your thoughts can be indispensable.
2. Book Vendors Early: When it comes to securing your dream venue and vendors, early booking is key. Although my partner and I faced the uncertainty of the pandemic head-on, early on we decided to choose a date and to stick to it. This meant we could book and secure the most important vendors, including our venue, The Red Barn about a year ahead of the date. This ensured that we had ample time to explore options, create a ‘plan A’ and a ‘plan B’ (thanks to covid), compare prices, and make informed decisions without feeling rushed.
3. Consider the Guest Experience: While your wedding day is a celebration of your love, it’s essential to consider the comfort and enjoyment of your guests. Our rustic barn venue showcased our beautiful hometown and lifestyle to our loved ones, as well as being the perfect backdrop for our wedding photos. It also came complete with modern amenities like heating, air conditioning, BYO options, easy accessibility and indoor restrooms. Adding touches such as personalised placement cards and having a live band enhanced the overall experience for our guests, making them feel truly valued and appreciated.
4. Be Flexible: Flexibility is key when it comes to wedding planning, especially amidst unexpected challenges. From navigating vendor availability to adjusting to last-minute changes, my hubby and I learned the importance of staying flexible throughout the process. This allowed us to overcome obstacles/unforeseen issues as they arose (which they most certainly will) and ensure that our wedding day was everything we had envisioned and more. And when things did go wrong, we reminded ourselves that in the grand scheme of things, no one else knew precisely how things were meant to unfold, so there was no need to fret over minor details!
5. Communicate with Vendors: Building strong relationships with our vendors was crucial in bringing our wedding visions to life. Regular communication ensured that everyone was on the same page, from finalising details to addressing any concerns or questions that arose along the way. This open dialogue not only fostered trust but also allowed us to collaborate seamlessly, resulting in a truly memorable wedding day.
6. Don’t Forget About The Details: As the saying goes, “the devil is in the details,” and this couldn’t be more true when it comes to wedding planning. From planning the day-of timelines to curating your music playlist, every detail contributed to the overall atmosphere of our wedding. Taking the time to consider these finer points and drawing inspiration from elements we admired in other weddings or inspiration boards allowed us to create a cohesive and unforgettable experience for ourselves and our guests.
7. Manage Milestones Efficiently: One invaluable piece of advice I received was to maintain a separate yearly calendar dedicated solely to wedding plans and events. From vendor open days to meetings with our celebrant, there were numerous milestones to keep track of in the months leading up to our big day. Whether it was paying deposits, attending cake tastings, or dance classes, each task demanded time and attention. By drafting and then digitalising our calendar and setting reminders, we ensured that no detail slipped through the cracks. Breaking down the planning process into monthly milestones became our saviour, providing structure and alleviating overwhelm. The most common pitfall brides face is leaving tasks to the last few months, resulting in unnecessary stress. Planning at least 12 months in advance proved to be the ideal timeline, allowing us to execute our vision with precision and peace of mind.
8. Take Time for Yourself: Amidst the hustle and bustle of wedding planning, don’t forget to prioritise self-care. Whether it’s indulging in a spa day or simply taking a moment to breathe, carving out time for yourself is essential for maintaining balance and perspective. My partner and I made it a point to enjoy date nights and know when to ‘park the wedding chat’ amidst the process, allowing us to recharge and evoke renewed energy and enthusiasm when coming back to it.
9. It’s okay to Delegate: When it comes to wedding planning, it’s crucial to recognise that it’s okay to delegate tasks. Often, the desire for things to be executed to perfection can create tunnel vision or hinder our ability to ask for help. However, learning to entrust certain responsibilities to others can be essential for keeping on top of (and maintaining your sanity) throughout the process. Whether it’s assigning small tasks like DIY decorations or researching bridesmaid dress stores, or larger undertakings such as creating guest seating charts, involving your loved ones can alleviate stress, foster brainstorming sessions, and provide you with invaluable time to focus on other aspects of your special day. Embracing delegation can truly lighten the load and enhance the overall planning experience.
10. It’s your day: Ultimately, it’s essential to remember that your wedding day belongs to you and your partner, not anyone else. It’s easy to get caught up in meeting the expectations of others and feeling pressured to conform to certain standards, but prioritising your own desires is key. Whether it’s deciding who to invite, seating arrangements, determining your budget or choosing the style of your wedding dress, always come back to what truly matters: what you and your partner want. Your wedding should reflect your unique style, values, and traditions, creating a day that is meaningful and unforgettable for both of you. Embracing this mindset ensures that your wedding day is a true celebration of your love and commitment.
Finally, planning your dream wedding is a going to be a journey filled with both incredible highs and even some lows. By embracing the power of organisation, early bookings, and everything else mentioned, you can navigate this chapter with confidence and joy. Remember, your wedding day is a reflection of your love story, and the journey towards it should be cherished just as much as the destination. Here’s to crafting a stress-free wedding of your dreams! | <urn:uuid:5cc6561d-1d3b-479d-bc53-8321f9c25a86> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://idodiary.com/stress-free-planning-hacks/?v=922dbf7e542c | 2024-04-18T13:26:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.935549 | 1,439 |

Please visit the APA website for complete information and guide here.
Author(s) may add any appendices, if any, at the end of the manuscript. Appendices includes supporting data, i.e. additional information, data files, tables of extra information or extra figures. If there is more than one Appendix, Author(s) may specifically identify them as A, B, etc. Formulae and equations in appendices or subsequent appendix (A.1, A.2, B.1 and so on) should be given by a separate numbering: Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc. Similarly for tables and figures: Table A.1; Fig. A.1, etc.
Please provide the full form of the abbreviations that are not commonly used in a footnote. You can also give a brief explanation of what the abbreviations mean. Such abbreviations that are unavoidable in the abstract must be defined the first time they are mentioned, as well as in the footnote. Please ensure the consistency of abbreviations throughout the manuscript.
Footnotes should be used sparingly. Number them consecutively throughout the manuscript. Many word processors build footnotes into the text, and this feature may be used. Should this not be the case, indicate the position of footnotes in the text and present the footnotes themselves separately at the end of each page.
Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the international system of units (SI). Please take care that all terminology and notation used will be widely understood. Abbreviations and acronyms should be spelled out in full at their first occurrence in the text. Please use a decimal point to separate comma, and comma to separate thousands (i.e. 1.606 for one point six hundres and six; 1,600 for one thousand and six hundreds). These are some examples on how to write units in a correct form:
- USD 50
- 80 tons
- 1,500 bopd
- 20 km
- IDR 1,000
- 8 liters
- 300 GW
- 80 0C
- 469 MWh
- 2,000 Mbtu
Please submit math equations as editable text and not as images. Present simple formulae in line with normal text where possible and use the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line for small fractional terms, e.g., X/Y. In principle, variables are to be presented in italics. Powers of “e” are often more conveniently denoted by exp. Please cite all the equations given in the text; otherwise please put them in the Appendix. Number any equations consecutively using a bracket () and use center alignment, regardless of the subsection they are in. For example, see the following:
A + B = C (1)
A/B = E (2)
All figures should be embedded in a correct position within your manuscript, and should also be sent as separate graphics files in their original formats. EPS, TIFF, PSD or PDF formats are preferred. Please use a minimum of 300 dpi pictures the image is submitted in the form of JPEG or PNG files.
Figures should appear in numerical order, be described and mentioned in the body of the text and be positioned close to where they are first cited; otherwise put them in the Appendix. Each figure should have a caption which describes the illustration, and that can be understood independently of the main text. The caption should be given in the text format, not as an image.
There are no restrictions on the use of color in the digital version of your manuscript. However, you should bear in mind that any printed version of your manuscript is likely to be in black and white which may make colored lines difficult to distinguish.
Figure Caption and Number
Captions should be below the figure and separated from it, in a text format. Figures should be numbered sequentially throughout the manuscript, e.g., Figure 1., Figure 2., etc, and should be referred to in the text as Figure 1, Figure 2, and not fig. 1, fig. 2, etc. Captions should be written in Times New Roman, 11 pt, and figures number should be written in Bold.
For captions below the figure, it should be set to the width of the figure for wider figures, centred across the width of the figure. Meanwhile, for narrow figures with wide captions, slightly extended beyond the width of the figure. The caption should finish with a full stop (period).
The following examples show the appropriate format for figure’s position and caption.
Figure 3. Figure with short caption (caption centred).
Figure 4. This is a figure with a caption that is wider than the actual graphic. To save space you can put the caption to the right side of the figure, by placing the graphic and justified caption in a table with one row and two columns. |
If a figure is divided into parts, these should be labelled (a), (b), (c) etc. but there should only be one caption for the whole figures, not separate ones for each part.
Figure 5. First figure (a), second figure (b) and third figure (c).
Please submit tables as editable text and not as images. Number the tables consecutively, in accordance with their appearance in the text and place any table notes below the table body.
Tables should appear in numerical order, be described and mentioned in the body of the text and be positioned close to where they are first cited; otherwise put them in the Appendix. Be sparing in the use of tables and please avoid using vertical lines. Each table should have a caption which describes the data, and that can be understood independently of the main text. The caption should be given in the text format, not as an image.
Table Caption and Number
Tables should be centred unless they occupy the full width of the text. Tables should be numbered sequentially throughout the manuscript e.g., Table 1., Table 2., etc, and should be referred to in the text as Table 1, Table 2, and not tab. 1, tab. 2, etc. Captions should be placed at the top of the table, centered and should have a full stop (period) at the end. Except for very narrow tables with a wide caption (see the example below for Table 1) the caption should be the same width as the table. Captions should be written on 11 point and Table number should be boldly written.
Lines in Tables
Tables should have only horizontal lines and no vertical lines. Generally, only three lines should be used: one at the top of the table, one at the bottom, and one to separate the entries from the column headings. Table lines should be 0.5 pt wide.
Because tables can take many forms, it is difficult to provide detailed guidelines; however, the following examples demonstrate our preferred styles.
Table 1. A simple table. Place the caption above the table. Here the caption is wider than the table so we extend it slightly outside the width of the table. Justify the text. Leave 6 pt of space between the caption and the top of the table.
If a table is divided into parts, these parts should be labelled (a), (b), (c), etc. However, there should only be one caption for the whole table, not separate ones for each part.
Table 1. A simple table with condition 1 (a), condition 2 (b) and condition 3 (c). Place the caption above the table. Justify the caption. Leave 6 pt of space between the caption and the top of the table.

After months of waiting, the 2020 Big Ten football season is here and for Indiana, it begins with an opportunity to knock-off a top-10 team in the Penn State Nittany Lions.
Indiana opens the season Saturday against No. 8 Penn State inside Memorial Stadium and it is a chance for the Hoosiers to get over the hump. The Hoosiers have been competitive in a lot of the past contests against top teams. IU’s biggest struggle has been not being able to put everything together and beat the top teams in the league.
However, after an 8-5 season in 2019, expectations have risen around the program and just being competitive is not enough. Head coach Tom Allen said in a zoom call on Monday that beating a top-25 team is one of his team’s goals.
“When you talk about what is next for our program, it is winning these games,” Allen said. “Obviously, being close is no longer acceptable, the goal, or the objective whatsoever. It is to find a way to finish and win these games.”
Indiana is 1-22 against the Nittany Lions with their lone win being in 2013. Last year’s contest in University Park, Pa. saw the Hoosiers’ fall short once again in a 34-27 defeat. Key turnovers and big plays by Penn States’ offense aided to Indiana’s defeat. That has been one of the problems for the Hoosiers in these type of games. The team finds themself in striking distance, then timely miscues erupt and halt their chances for a big win.
Miscues such as Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford breaking a big run for a touchdown or timely fumbles on offense and special teams, cannot happen if IU wants a victory.
“When we take care of things the right way, obviously, there are a lot of variables that go into a game,” Allen said. “The bigger the game is, the heightened attention to detail needs to be in all three phases.”
Indiana’s defense must limit big plays
Questions have already been posed about Indiana’s defense with defensive back Marcelino Ball’s season ending ACL injury. Redshirt junior Bryant Fitzgerald has been moved into the starting spot at the husky position. Allen said that the team is going to maximize the strength of their team in different ways and give other players opportunities.
Indiana’s defense gave up 371 total yards in last year’s contest. Quarterback Sean Clifford threw for 197 yards on 11-of-23 passes, but rushed for 55 yards and two touchdowns. Running back Journey Brown added 100 yards on 21 rushes with a 4.8 average and one touchdown. Tight end Pat Freiermuth was limited in the contest, but was a key weapon for Clifford last season with 43 receptions for 507 yards and seven touchdowns.
“Bottom line is that they are a great football team,” Allen said. “Their offensive line makes them go, they have an excellent quarterback, a very talented receiver corps and arguably one of the best tight ends in the country, definitely one of the best.”
247Sports Mark Brennan reported Monday that Brown could miss the entire 2020 season due to an “undisclosed medical condition.” Brown’s status remains in question for Saturday and Penn State may look towards sophomore running backs Noah Cain and Devyn Ford to fill the void. Cain and Ford combined for 136 rushes for 737 yards last season.
One thing that is up in the air about the Nittany Lions’ offense is what will they look like with the addition of offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca. Ciarrocca spent the last three seasons as the offensive coordinator at Minnesota where the Gophers posted the third-highest scoring offense in team history.
The Hoosiers not only have to prepare for Penn State’s offensive weapons, but also have to plan for a brand new play caller who has playmakers all over the field.
“Good coordinators and smart people find creative ways to get their playmakers in space and I thought, Ciarrocca did a phenomenal job of that at Minnesota and featured the players that they had,” IU defensive coordinator Kane Wommack said. “I think it is a combination of seeing what their personnel is, what he has done in the past and trying to blend the two.”
Penix taking full reigns of the offense
Indiana quarterback Michael Penix Jr. did not play in last season’s contest due to injury. However, former quarterback Peyton Ramsey threw 31-of-41 with 371 yards and had three total touchdowns. Indiana out gained Penn State by 91 yards and moved was just fell just one score short. Now, Penix is back under center and his skillset can be key in this matchup.
Penix demonstrated he can play in big games last season with three touchdowns and a 159.3 passer rating against Michigan State on Sept. 28. He gets the ball out quickly and completes a high percentage of his passes at 68.8 percent last season. Offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan said that Penix is able to execute under pressure and that the moment is not too big for him.
“He is able to operate at the level that we all would want him to regardless of who the opponent is, what is the situation,” Sheridan said. “He is good in that regard without a doubt.
Penix has plenty of weapons at his disposal with the top-three leading receivers returning in Whop Philyor, Peyton Hendershot and Ty Fryfogle. Those three players combined for 2,228 yards and 12 touchdowns. Running backs Stevie Scott and Sampson James return to the backfield and gives Indiana the opportunity to mix things up offensively.
The offensive line has to be ready to step up against Penn State. Personnel has been shifted around with Penix back on the field. Sophomore tackle Matthew Bedford moves to right tackle after playing nine games on the left side. Bedford now has the task of protecting Penix’s blindside and redshirt junior Caleb Jones moves to left tackle. On the interior, senior Harry Crider is at center this season and there are multiple players who can be slotted in at guard in Dylan Powell, Mike Katic and Mackenzie Nworah. Protecting Penix and opening up holes in the run game will be key for an upset this weekend.
Penn State is without their leading tackler a season ago in Micah Parsons. Parsons announced in August that he would opt-out of the 2020 season and prepare for the NFL Draft.
This year’s Indiana team is a much more experienced group with talent on both sides of the ball. Wins will not come easy this season as the Hoosiers prepare for an onslaught of Big Ten teams. Year-after-year Indiana has competed against the best in the conference, but have fallen short in different ways. After all of the momentum gained from last season, the program is trending in the positive direction, and it is time for Indiana to put it all together against a top team.
“We know we are going to have to play our very best to be able to do the things we want to do against a top-10 team in the country,” Allen said. “We are really excited for the opportunity. To be able to begin Big Ten play here at home and be able to have our players, be able to exhibit, all the hard work that they put into to this.”

The shooting for the thriller movie Taxi No. 24 starring Mahesh Manjrekar, Jagjeet Sandhu and Anangsha Biswas has started. The film is Produced by Saviraj Shetty and Directed by Saumitra Singh. The Producer has released the first look of the poster of his banner “Whatever Productions” last week.
The story of the film revolves around a young man after having a tough day gets into a Taxi whose driver is paranoid by a newspaper headline that says – A Psycho Killer is lost in Mumbai” and the whole story goes around that. The film has suspense and thriller elements that will definitely keep the audience glued to the screen.
Director Saumitra Singh said, “As a director when you get such stories that are fast-paced and surprising, you jump to the gun and want to tell them as soon as possible. They don’t let you breathe, shifts their scale constantly, and makes every character interesting and important. The simple motive of mine to tell this story is to showcase how life can offer unwelcoming surprises. So, when things are unpredictable, why get tensed, why not enjoy every bit of it.”
Producer Saviraj Shetty expressed his excitement and said, “Working with such a dynamic and energetic team brings in a lot of new learnings every day. I am super excited to have on-boarded such great casts which further makes the journey and experience of film making very enriched. I can’t wait to get the project on the floor.” | <urn:uuid:717059d5-55ed-4178-90e2-8d0f7643b2ca> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://indiancinemascreen.com/taxi-no-24-hindi-movie-updates/ | 2024-04-18T14:27:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.975782 | 326 |

What Is A Black Diamond Watermelon?
In 2008, man in Japan paid $6,125 for a nearly-black watermelon. The specialty fruit is grown only on the island of Hokkaido. We couldn’t find any reports on whether or not he said it was worth it.
We spoke of the luxury fruit market in Japan with this article on the Japanese white strawberry. Now, however, it seems that we can also spend way too much money on a watermelon that looks like it’s black. Yes, that’s right. It’s not actually black… it’s just really dark green.
Funny, because the black diamond apple is also a thing, and it’s also not black; it’s dark purple.
All of that to say, a black diamond watermelon is basically just a black watermelon that claims to be more delicious and ‘luxurious’ than other watermelons. The Densuke watermelon, however, claims to be far superior in every conceivable way.
Why Are They Black Anyways??
The Densuke black diamond watermelon is known for its tough skin. With its signature dark shade of green being so incredibly dark, it appears black. It’s also really shiny, which further enhances its perceived value.
The black skin is merely a result of genetic alteration over the years. Much like other fruits that are sold as a novelty, companies spend a lot of time and money making their product stand out.
And for a $6,000 watermelon, you have to applaud them for their efforts.
How Much Would You Be Willing To Pay For Watermelon?
The funny thing about the Densuke black diamond watermelon is that there are a lot of other black diamond watermelons selling for regular watermelon prices.
You have to wonder if that’s just smart produce market people knowing trends and making their signs accordingly. Me? I’d probably pay like $25 for a special watermelon. Not $250 that’s for sure, and I’d laugh in your face if you asked me to pay $2500. Ha.
What’s The Deal With The Massive Price tag?
Here’s the thing: the price tag is apparently in proportion to how hard these things are to grow. This specific black diamond watermelon by Densuke is only grown on the island of Hokkaido in Japan. They take a considerable amount of space to grow, and require several months of care and maintenance.
They are very rare and every year there are fewer than a hundred that the company sells. The final cost of this fruit, in other words, reflects the amount of time and dedication it takes to growing it. You also have to factor in how popular they are, and how highly regarded it is to receive one as a gift in Japan.
The flavour is supposedly unsurpassed with a richer sweetness, fewer seeds, and a crunch that’s worth potentially thousands of dollars.
Oh, and there’s the fancy packaging as well.
Where Can You Get Black Watermelons?
You can apparently find a sign that says “black watermelon” in a lot of places. However, very few of them are actually black diamond. Because of this, even fewer of them are actual Densuke brand.
And after a modest search online, we have to report that it’s actually quite hard to find somewhere to buy one of these things. You can, however, get seeds that claim to produce a black diamond watermelon.
In fact, those are so easy to come by, you can fetch them on Amazon.
How To Grow A Black Diamond Watermelon
Herein lies the problem. These glorious watermelon-diamonds are really hard to grow. The team at Densuke apparently sings to them and caresses them and blows special types of incense on them when they’re at different stages of growth. Just joking.
Suffice to say they take up a lot of space and require a lot of care that’s quite specialized in knowledge. Because of this, they’re really hard to grow. However, that doesn’t seem to be stopping people from buying the seeds, because they’re currently out of stock on Amazon.
But wait! This company is selling seeds for just four pounds! Hopefully they come with growing instructions. | <urn:uuid:de497c12-1f3a-4e70-b40c-1a4366871d09> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://indie88.com/black-diamond-watermelon/ | 2024-04-18T15:07:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.958665 | 925 |
Why Returning to the Office Could Improve Your Mental Health
In research highlighted by HR magazine, 24% of UK office workers expressed their fear that physically returning to the workplace could adversely affect their mental health. However, this concern could be ill-founded, according to renowned psychologist Michael Mazius.
“Human beings are organisms known for habituating,” Mazius tells Real Simple when explaining why, even if you now feel thoroughly accustomed to working from home, you shouldn’t be too quick to rule out a return to the office. So, how could an office setting mentally revitalize you?
It’s easier to socialize with people in an office
“Social interactions are crucial to growing our social brain and social skills,” Mazius says. Georganne Hassell, one employee who was originally recruited in October 2020 and required to work remotely for her company as soon as she joined, has attested to the beneficial effect of office life.
After eventually meeting her co-workers in person for the first time, she enthusiastically reported to Real Simple about this “energizing” experience.
You could now more easily appreciate a good work-life balance
Your work life and your personal life are like two different sides of the same coin. In other words, you must be wary of spending excessive time at either your home or the office.
Sadly, though, successive lockdowns have left many of us a little too familiar with our homes – potentially leading to weariness and loneliness to set in. To help shake off those negative feelings, you should step outside – and ideally head over to your office.
You might not struggle so much to enter ‘work mode’
One persistent drawback of working from home is how it blurs the usual boundaries between work and non-work responsibilities. You could end up occasionally working in bed or without slipping into ‘proper’ work attire.
However, none of this applies when you are required to always emerge from your bed at a specific time, get washed and dressed and spend fixed hours of your day at an office potentially far removed from your home in both location and atmosphere.
You feel a stronger sense of career progression
Working from home day after day can start feeling akin to running on a treadmill – in other words, like you aren’t getting very far even when you expend a lot of effort.
However, as you spend more of your time at the office, you could find yourself increasingly brimming with optimism about your career trajectory. For example, as your company grows, you could relocate it to larger premises by renting a serviced office from BE Offices.
Your co-workers could reinforce your positive feelings
Furthermore, they could do this more easily in person than online – given that, as explained earlier, socialization just flows more naturally in an office environment.
Sharing the same physical space as your work colleagues could help to keep the feel-good factor going – at least from your point of view. When you do good work in an office rather than at home, these people could notice it more easily and thus be inclined to praise you for it. | <urn:uuid:f7902c0e-14a9-49cd-a631-ec2161e45aaa> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://influencedigest.com/productivity/why-returning-to-the-office-could-improve-your-mental-health/ | 2024-04-18T14:06:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.968887 | 646 |
Businesses, organisations, and individuals depend on websites in the digital age. WordPress runs 39% of websites, making it a potential target for fraudsters. Website owners must prioritise WordPress security as cyber threats rise. A security breach can cause sensitive data loss, website reputation damage, and financial losses. Taking steps to secure WordPress websites is crucial to avoid attacks and minimize damage.
Understanding common threats and weaknesses
Understanding typical WordPress website vulnerabilities and attacks is crucial to strengthening your online castle. Cybercriminals target WordPress because of its popularity and security flaws. Old WordPress versions, weak passwords, insecure plugins, and themes are common weaknesses. Understanding these vulnerabilities and threats lets you protect your website. Consider WordPress maintenance services or WordPress maintenance plans that include upgrades and backups to protect your website. These steps can help you avoid security breaches and keep ahead of attacks.
Using strong login credentials
Strong login credentials are a simple but effective technique to secure your WordPress website. This requires a complex password with capital, lowercase, digits, and special characters. Each login account should have a unique password to prevent one hacked password from impacting other accounts. Two-factor authentication (2FA) requires users to submit a second form of identity, such as a phone code or biometric scan, to increase security. WordPress maintenance plans include password updates, 2FA setup, and other security measures to protect your website. Strong login credentials lessen the possibility of hostile actors compromising your website.
Regularly checking for questionable activity
Monitoring your WordPress website for suspicious activity is crucial to protecting your online castle. This is possible manually, but it takes time and technical expertise. WordPress maintenance services help here. WordPress maintenance plans include security scans and suspicious activity monitoring to keep your website safe. These programs also notify you of potential hazards in real time, allowing you to act before harm occurs. WordPress maintenance services give you peace of mind and let you focus on your business by monitoring and protecting your website 24/7.
Prioritizing security for your WordPress website is crucial in today’s digital age. By implementing basic security measures such as strong passwords, regular updates, and plugin monitoring, you can fortify your online fortress and protect your website from potential security breaches. It’s also important to stay informed and up-to-date on the latest security threats and trends in order to stay one step ahead of potential hackers. Taking these steps will not only ensure the safety of your website but also the security of your customers’ sensitive information. | <urn:uuid:7a560eeb-958b-4983-a483-f34bcb3f028e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://info-hitech.com/fortifying-your-online-fortress-prioritizing-wordpress-security/ | 2024-04-18T14:34:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.90406 | 503 |

This will be the second StarPlus Energy gigafactory in Kokomo, and it will be built next to the gigafactory currently under construction. The companies' StarPlus Energy joint venture will invest more than $3.2 billion to co-locate the new battery plant with the first one.
The new site is expected to begin production in early 2027 with an annual capacity of 34 gigawatt-hours. The facility will create 1,400 new jobs in Kokomo and the surrounding areas.
The first StarPlus gigafactory that's already under construction is expected to go online in the first quarter of 2025 with an annual production capacity of 33 GWh. Both Kokomo battery cell plants are estimated to have a combined annual production capacity of 67 gigawatt-hours, according to StarPlus Energy.
The total investment for both facilities will be more than $6.3 billion – including $3.2 billion for the second one – and will create a total of 2,800 new jobs.

"Our battery ecosystem is the foundation of our electrification strategy, and our great partners Samsung SDI, the state of Indiana and the city of Kokomo have created a compelling case for locating our sixth gigafactory in Kokomo," said Mark Stewart, Stellantis COO North America.
"The BEVs coming to our North America brands play an important role in our drive to offer clean, safe and affordable mobility for all and achieve the bold goal of carbon net zero by 2038."
As part of its Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan, Stellantis has announced plans of reaching a 100 percent passenger-car battery-electric vehicle (BEV) sales mix in Europe and 50 percent passenger-car and light-duty truck BEV sales mix in the United States by 2030. To make that possible, Stellantis said it wants to secure about 400 GWh of battery capacity.
The new plant is the sixth battery facility globally to support Stellantis' electrification plan and the third in North America – there's also one under construction in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. The automaker owns brands such as Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and Maserati – to name only those that are present in North America.
The two battery gigafactories in Kokomo, Indiana, will represent Samsung SDI's largest production base for EV batteries in North America. The Korean company also has a battery joint venture with General Motors, and construction of their first battery plant will begin in 2024, also in Indiana. | <urn:uuid:28fab852-ce1e-4928-bd4c-711f3a981172> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://insideevs.com/news/691350/stellantis-samsung-sdi-invest-3-2-billion-usd-second-indiana-battery-plant/ | 2024-04-18T14:16:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.941814 | 574 |
Luxury streetwear label Off-White is the latest fashion brand to offer its customers payment with cryptocurrencies at its three flagship stores in Paris, Milan and London. The cryptocurrencies accepted include Bitcoin, Ether, Binance coin, XRP, Tether, and Circle’s USDC. Transactions are managed through a sophisticated digital payment system by Berlin-based technology company Lunu. Off-White is taking necessary steps to ensure it is ready for the next evolution of the internet, Web3, by
by adopting systems that are already familiar to its largest audience segment, Millennials – the fastest-growing user base in the crypto industry.
Off-White creator Virgil Abloh, who died late last year, was exploring various aspects of this new digital frontier within a project dubbed Skyscraper. There were discussions about creating a Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO), a social token and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). LVMH, which took control of Off-White in July 2021 has remained on course with Abloh’s vision, along with the Off-White team.
Upon announcing Off-White would begin accepting cryptocurrency in exchange for apparel and accessories, the popular brand said in a statement: “This is another important step in the growth of the brand, that looks towards the future including Web 3.0 technologies, understanding the needs and desires of its ever-evolving customer base.”
Off-White isn’t the only luxury brand in LVMH’s portfolio embracing premium crypto technology. Swiss luxury watch brand Hublot released a limited-edition watch earlier this year – the Big Bang Unico Ledger – that is intended to attract those interested in both traditional watch craftsmanship and cryptocurrency.
“Hublot has always been first, unique, different and we’re extremely proud and excited to introduce a luxury Swiss-made watch that brings these two passionate, creative worlds together in such an historic, tangible way. History will show the Hublot Big Bang Unico Ledger as a landmark collaboration that set the new standard for forward-thinking people who love watches, crypto and shaping the future,” Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe said.
With only 50 watches made, they are the epitome of rare collectors items. Those who were fortunate enough to secure the Hublot Big Bang Unico Ledger package received three core items: the watch, a limited-edition Ledger Nano X crypto wallet, and a special sapphire watch box.
Buy a Bentley with Bitcoin
As companies start to incorporate blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies into their business and product offerings, more interesting use-cases are becoming commonplace. Growing alongside are fin-tech startups creating highly efficient systems and gadgets to stabilise some of the issues currently preventing widespread adoption.
Bitcoin transaction solution provider NYDIG is helping Texas luxury car dealership Post Oak Motor Cars accept Bitcoin as payment for their luxury vehicles. The innovative purchase option allows customers to buy luxury vehicles financed through loans secured by Bitcoin.
Two of the most well-known problems within the crypto industry are the associated transaction fees and fluctuating cryptocurrencies. These issues are largely due to supply and demand, media hype, and greedy investors.
Off-White and Lunu are making a serious effort to make purchasing physical items in store with cryptocurrency simple and seamless. As transactions are processed, the Lunu point-of-sale terminal swiftly converts the crypto-to-fiat exchange rate at the time of purchase and is compatible with multiple crypto wallets.
You may be wondering about the rationale for buying with crypto when you can use real money to buy physical items. But it’s a fitting move as new trade and ownership models emerge, which ties in with what Abloh may have been working toward with the Skyscraper project.
The next web
The creator economy is powering the boom of NFTs, helping artists and content creators find a unique place online and access new revenue streams. Additionally, it’s shining a light on how these technologies are contributing to the culture economy.
For the most part, the incredible success of NFTs in the past few years has been due to scarcity and status. It’s the age-old notion that people desire something because it’s new, shiny and limited in supply. Seeing images of cartoon apes and 8-bit punks sell for millions of dollars has people scratching their heads in confusion, thinking, “Why on earth would you waste your money?”
But it’s less about images of apes and more about the cultural phenomenon and technology. The focus is on the ability to redistribute power from a handful of companies into communities. The scales are tipping in favour of creators and culture.
It’s worth noting that the acceleration of blockchain and the crypto industry might not be happening without several significant advancements in technology and the evolution of consumer behaviour. To put it simply, we rely heavily on the internet, connect and interact via various platforms on a regular basis, use social media several times a day and consume a vast amount of content.
With the rise of social media came business opportunities. Many creators and marketers have found fulfilling careers in social media and built highly successful businesses off those platforms alone. The same can be said for the crypto industry and everyone who has gravitated towards it. This space offers deep community engagement and an ability to connect on shared views and have a stake in a community’s future. And it is all built on decentralised networks to distribute ownership equally.
While Abloh is no longer at the helm, his legacy includes championing artists, the creator economy, and offering new ways of trading products to participate in the World Wide Web’s next evolution, and Off-White. The unapologetic luxury streetwear label is proving it is culturally aligned to today’s customer and technologically prepared for the youth of tomorrow. | <urn:uuid:3cba82b4-6470-4471-abeb-0606e06d3e65> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://insideretail.com.au/ir-pro/off-white-is-now-letting-customers-pay-with-cryptocurrency-heres-why-202204 | 2024-04-18T14:43:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.949417 | 1,211 |

Edward Chindori-Chininga and Obert Mpofu may not have seen eye to eye. But Chindori-Chininga congratulated Mpofu, Ministry of Mines officials and the diamond mining companies for the investment and work they did to make mining in Chiadzwa a reality and for working hard to make Zimbabwe diamonds KP compliant.
This praise is contained in the Parliamentary Committee on Mines and Energy Report released before his death.
Most of the reporting on the committee’s findings has focussed on how diamond revenue has been diverted from treasury.
Some reports have even suggested that Chindori- Chininga, who died in a car accident shortly after the release of the report, was assassinated because of his “critical” report.
Chindori-Chininga did not seem to see eye to eye with Mpofu and at one time described him as a crook and a thief, but the report congratulates him for a job well done in its concluding remarks.
It encourages the government and the diamond mining companies to take all measures necessary to properly resettle people of Chiadzwa and provide adequate compensation to the villagers and business people.

IntexSoft specialists worked on payment systems integration, logistic systems integration, and also created a unique custom backend part for the platform.
The dev team developed the innovative system architecture and integrated it into the project.For proper usability, we also developed the responsive version of the platform. This allows easy access to the website via mobile devices.
Speaking of the ordering process, each buyer gets a confirmation letter after the order is done. Considering an expected great boost in visitors and, in particular, buyers, there was a threat of email spam blocking and the client’s system could get blacklisted. In order to avoid blocking and blacklisting, in the case of mass email distribution, our team tested various public servers and chose Gmail SMTP Server, where it was possible to set daily limits for letters auto sending. Control over the number and frequency of sending was carried out by the lining management system.
The project involved third-party payment systems, protected by standard security protocols. Two-level security provided a secure protocol (HTTPS) between the browser and the server, and a secure protocol between the server and payment systems.
At the data center, all servers are closed in the internal network, which is not accessible from the outside through the firewall (DMZ). Only the end user’s requests pass through the first firewall. Access to the database, thanks to the second protection level, can only be done via one particular device by a certain protocol.
Since the client allocated a certain budget and set strict deadlines, work on the project was carried out according to the classical model of the Waterfall methodology. Although when delivering the intermediate results to the client, the team followed the iterative approach.
The IntexSoft team provided the client with access to the project management system. Koawach was also provided with a testing system, where they checked the platform operation. Communication was carried out between project managers from IntexSoft and the client’s side. They organized daily calls, where all the current issues on the project were discussed. | <urn:uuid:e99b421b-25b8-4bcc-87a3-9031de80766d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://intexsoft.com/portfolio/web-app-for-koawach/ | 2024-04-18T14:53:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.946807 | 414 |
October is usually the month that Halloween store owners look forward to all year round. Adult customers often spend well over $100 on costumes and accessories as they prepare for parties or haunted pub crawls. But with many of these social events now canceled due to the pandemic, Halloween stores are struggling to make up this essential source of revenue. At Lorenzo Caltagirone’s Virginia costume shop, for instance, sales are down 80 percent. “I’ve never been this worried before,” said Caltagirone. “After all these years of business, this Halloween could actually be the one that puts me out.”
Analysts expect that consumer spending this Halloween season will drop by 8 percent to about $8 billion. While people are still buying spooky decorations and children’s costumes, these items aren’t nearly as profitable for stores as adult costumes. “Halloween is a make-or-break time for smaller seasonal retailers,” said economist Diane Swonk. “They wait all year for October. Now the pandemic is going to put many of them back an entire year, if not more.”
Business is especially bad in locations that depend heavily on tourists to drive sales. For example, Kharolina Lampe operates a costume shop in Honolulu that normally rents out hundreds of outfits to vacationers. With Hawaii largely free of tourists, however, she has yet to receive an order this year. “The economy has been so bad,” said Lampe. “Just about every other costume shop in Honolulu went out of business a while back — and I probably should have too, to be honest.”
- Do you think struggling seasonal stores like costume shops should receive some sort of relief? Why or why not?
- Why are Halloween sales especially low in places that depend on tourists? | <urn:uuid:e473c159-109f-4606-bf84-97e5c2b25457> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://introbiz.tv/costume-shops-struggle-with-low-seasonal-sales/ | 2024-04-18T14:27:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.9661 | 384 |
If you're looking to diversify your investment portfolio, you might want to consider fixed income securities. This type of investment can provide steady income, offer tax benefits, and help preserve your capital. Let's dig deeper into the advantages of investing in fixed income securities.
Understanding fixed income securities
Fixed income securities are essentially loans that an investor makes to a corporation or government. The issuer agrees to pay back the loan over a certain period of time with a fixed interest rate. There are different types of fixed income securities, including treasury bonds, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, and more.
Why invest in fixed income securities
Here are some key reasons why you might want to consider investing in fixed income securities:
Income generation: Fixed income securities typically pay out interest regularly, providing a steady stream of income. This can be particularly attractive for retirees or those seeking a predictable income stream.
Capital preservation: If you're more interested in preserving your capital than in high-risk, high-reward investments, fixed income securities might be a good fit. They're generally considered lower risk than equities, though they also typically offer lower returns.
Diversification: Including fixed income securities in your portfolio can help reduce overall risk and volatility, as they often perform differently than other asset classes.
Tax benefits: Some types of fixed income securities, like municipal bonds, may offer tax advantages.
Risks of investing in fixed income securities
While there are numerous benefits, it's also important to understand the risks involved with fixed income securities. These might include credit risk (the risk that the issuer won't be able to pay back the loan), interest rate risk (the risk that interest rates will rise, reducing the value of your fixed income investments), and inflation risk (the risk that inflation will erode the value of the fixed payments you receive).
Choosing the right fixed income security
Investing in fixed income securities isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. Different types of bonds come with their own set of risks and rewards. For example, corporate bonds typically offer higher yields than government bonds, but they also come with a higher risk of default. Consider your risk tolerance, investment goals, and the overall composition of your portfolio before choosing which fixed income securities to invest in.
Here's a summary of the key benefits and risks associated with different types of fixed income securities:
Investing in fixed income securities offers many benefits, but it's important to understand the risks and consider your own investment goals before diving in. A diversified investment strategy that includes a mix of asset classes, including fixed income securities, can help you achieve your financial goals while managing risk. And always remember, it's never a bad idea to seek professional advice when it comes to your investments. | <urn:uuid:d721ceb5-3f07-45f5-bc6c-a1ee5e552698> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://investauro.com/article/exploring-the-benefits-of-investing-in-fixed-income-securities-25940 | 2024-04-18T15:07:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.960001 | 561 |
The road to recovery: How smarter payments can play a part
COVID-19 has had a huge impact on businesses across the UK. As we plot a route to recovery, many businesses are re-opening and rebuilding.
There will be challenges. Furloughed staff could leave business owners short-handed when trying to manage core systems and online or remote sales. Some consumers will behave differently, with preferred payment options including cards and mobile wallets over cash.
For some firms, the road to building back sales may be slow, with the Bank of England recently predicting that the UK economy could shrink by 14% in 2021. Hard-hit sectors such as hospitality may experience a particularly lengthy path to significant sales increases.
But recovery is possible. Whether you run your business via a physical store, online or both, it could be worth looking to payments as part of your recovery plan.
Reopening your store
If you operate from a physical store, some customers will be keen to start shopping in person when it reopens. Many others, however, will be reluctant to re-enter shops – and you’ll need measures to help keep them safe and reassured.
Be mindful of hygiene-related issues around PIN entry devices (PEDs). And while you will wish to adopt – and communicate – a rigorous cleaning regime immediately, now could be a good time to consider longer-term solutions that could give you an advantage.
Contactless could see wider use in the post-lockdown market, with the limit on contactless payments having risen to £45 in response to the unfolding situation.
Encouraging online sales
If you don’t operate from physical premises, or if you’re in a position to offer online sales before your physical premises reopen, you could encourage purchases through online offers. Consumers may have an appetite for these promotions, particularly when reviewing their personal finances.
Also look at how you can increase your online presence as a whole. Promote yourself on social media or consider ways for customers to browse virtually. It could pay off now and make your online offering more effective in the future.
Crucially, when purchases happen remotely you need to have appropriate payment options in place. Worldpay, provider of FSB Payments, offers Pay by Link to make it easy to send a payment link via email. This way, customers can securely complete transactions.
Alternatively, a Virtual Terminal offers a method for accepting secure payments from customers who prefer to purchase over the phone. These systems are easy to use and set up, with only an internet connection and browser needed.
Making payments count
Smarter payment solutions could give you additional support during this difficult time, providing opportunity where it might not be obvious. Simple, secure options are available to help businesses rebuild using alternative payment methods.
You can find out more about this topic and access resources to support your business with the impacts of coronavirus on the FIS website, providers of FSB Payments. | <urn:uuid:b87e7761-ae47-4210-b324-6e4f74e1d8c9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://investinangus.com/the-road-to-recovery-how-smarter-payments-can-play-a-part/ | 2024-04-18T14:09:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.951671 | 603 |

“Skidmore’s petition says that the 123 songwriters who submitted the brief were ‘some of the wealthiest musicians, music executives, and attorneys on the planet’ who did not have the ‘foundational principles of copyright law in mind.’”
On October 30, Michael Skidmore, Trustee for the Randy Craig Wolfe Trust, filed a petition for rehearing of the denial of its August 6 petition for writ of certiorari to the Supreme Court. In the original petition, Skidmore requested that the Supreme Court review a March judgment of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit siding with Led Zeppelin in a long-running case examining whether the opening notes of the band’s legendary song “Stairway to Heaven” infringed the song “Taurus,” written by Robert Wolfe of the band Spirit, a contemporary of Led Zeppelin. Skidmore brought the original suit in 2014. In the petition for rehearing, Skidmore claims that the “Ninth Circuit’s en banc opinion herald[ed] the ‘death of music copyright,’ just as happened to literary copyright before it.”
Stairway to SCOTUS
In September 2018, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit vacated-in-part the judgment of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California that Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” was not substantially similar to Spirit’s “Taurus”. The case was remanded back to the district court after the Ninth Circuit found that certain instructions given by the district court to the jury were erroneous and prejudicial. The Ninth Circuit agreed to rehear the case en banc, which resulted in the March 9 decision, wherein the Ninth Circuit notably struck down its own “inverse ratio rule,” which dictated that there is “a lower standard of proof of substantial similarity when a high degree of access is shown.” The Ninth Circuit noted that the inverse ratio rule “improperly dictate[ed] how the jury should reach its decision” and that the “[t]he burden of proof in a civil case is preponderance of the evidence.” Thus, as a result of the Ninth Circuit’s decision to abrogate the inverse ratio rule, it concluded that the district court did not err in failing to include a jury instruction articulating the rule.
In addition, the Ninth Circuit concluded that the 1909 Copyright Act limited the scope of copyright protection to deposit copies and stated that “[b]ecause the deposit copy define[d] the four corners of the Taurus copyright, it was not error for the district court to decline Skidmore’s request to play the sound recordings of the Taurus performance that contain[ed] further embellishments or to admit the recordings on the issue of substantial similarity.”
On August 6, Skidmore filed a petition for a writ of certiorari asking the Supreme Court to “resolve two issues of first impression: (1) whether a deposit lead sheet defines a copyright under the 1909 Copyright Act, and (2) whether the Ninth Circuit’s evisceration of the substantial similarity extrinsic test should be reversed.” On October 5th, the Supreme Court denied the petition.
Petition for Rehearing
In the October 30 petition for rehearing, Skidmore asserts that the “Ninth Circuit’s holding that the deposit copy controlled the scope of a copyright was a first in 106 years and will divest hundreds of thousands of songs of copyright protection under the 1909 Act” and that the “holding regarding the extrinsic test— fundamentally altering its nature—applies to all copyright cases under both the 1909 Act and the 1976 Act.” Thus, Skidmore is urging the Supreme Court to review the Ninth Circuit’s en banc holding immediately.
Skidmore also asserts that the Ninth Circuit’s opinion overstepped by “purporting to redefine what ‘originality’ is” because “[o]riginality is a constitutional requirement which can only be changed through constitutional amendment or by [the Supreme Court]. The petition explains that the Supreme Court has specifically held that “originality only requires a modicum of creativity,” and that a work need not be novel, but the Ninth Circuit “raised the bar significantly, instead holding that for a work to be original it has to be novel.” Skidmore further argues that the Ninth Circuit’s “redefinition of originality [combined with its] concomitant holding limiting the application of selection and arrangement… essentially means that artists who have their musical compositions stolen no longer can claim protection in their work.”
Reasons for Rehearing
Skidmore asserts that the Ninth Circuit used a “shady rehearing process” to issue the en banc opinion on a “multitude of unrelated issues that the court wanted to rule on.” According to the petition, new information has come to light that the Ninth Circuit’s process was influenced by an amicus brief that was submitted on behalf of “123 Songwriters, Composers, Musicians, and Producers.” According to Skidmore, “[g]reat pains were taken by the amici to (falsely) portray themselves as unaffiliated artists who were friends of the court and dedicated to getting the law right;” however, the “purpose and effect of these amicus briefs was to push the narrative to the en banc court that both songwriters and the industry agreed that copyright law needed to be changed.”
Skidmore also notes that the Ninth Circuit adopted the songwriter’s brief in many respects and that the Ninth Circuit even admitted that it relied on the brief in its opinion. The petition says that the 123 songwriters who submitted the brief were “some of the wealthiest musicians, music executives, and attorneys on the planet” who did not have the “foundational principles of copyright law in mind.” The petition for rehearing includes a list of the “alleged ‘songwriters’ with their publicly available net worth and titles to illustrate just who the law was changed for.” Skidmore also asserts that some of the listed songwriters and industry executives, including Max Martin, who was a defendant in the Katy Perry case, were interested parties who would benefit directly from the en banc opinion.
The petition also points out that an additional case, Smith v. Weeknd, which is now being appealed, was not previously raised by Skidmore. The petition explains that the Central District of California court granted summary judgment for the defendants and cited to the Skidmore decision in stating that “once the prior art is filtered out” the plaintiffs’ song contained no protectable expression similar to the defendants’ song. Skidmore notes that the court in Smith also held that the plaintiffs “cannot establish substantial similarity by reconstituting the copyrighted work as a combination of unprotectable elements and then claiming that those same elements also appear in the defendant’s work.” The Smith court essentially held that “(1) elements that appear in the prior art are no longer protectable, and (2) those unprotectable elements can no longer be protected in a selection and arrangement.” Skidmore’s petition for rehearing ultimately urges the High Court to grant rehearing and to grant the original petition for a writ of certiorari.

Chad Sweeney teaches in the MFA program at California State University, San Bernardino and lives in Redlands. He is the author of four books of poetry: Wolf’s Milk: Lost Notebooks of Juan Sweeney (Forklift Books, 2012); Parable of Hide and Seek (Alice James, 2010); Arranging the Blaze (Anhinga); and An Architecture (BlazeVOX); and he is co-translator of the Selected Poems of contemporary Iranian poet H.E. Sayeh (White Pine). He is coeditor of Parthenon West Review, a journal of contemporary poetry and translation. Sweeney’s poems have been included in Best American Poetry, The Pushcart Prize Anthology and The Writer’s Almanac.
How did you find Sayeh and his poems?
I found Sayeh through a wonderful accident (some would call it destiny) because of my love for the poetry of Rumi and Hafiz! I was having a rich conversation with a total stranger, Mojdeh Marashi, about the great Sufi masters Rumi and Hafiz, about their musical, mysterious blend of spirituality with secular concerns, the music of the Ghazal, and the whole celebrated tradition of Persian poetry. Mojdeh Marashi smiled wide and said, “The modern day Hafiz is a poet named H.E. Sayeh, but his poems are not really translated into English, so you probably can’t read them.” “Let’s translate one together,” I replied, and our new adventure had begun. It was the first day for each of us in joining the Masters program in Creative Writing at San Francisco State University. We happened to be sitting beside each other, and we struck up a conversation about poetry, which led us to a eight-year collaboration. We began by translating one poem, but we knew right away that a complete book of Sayeh’s poems needed to be translated, so we committed to doing just that!
How long did it take you to translate his poems?
Well, eight years from that day the finished book appeared in print with White Pine Press: THE ART OF STEPPING THROUGH TIME: Selected Poems of H.E. Sayeh. We had finished most of the poems after about six years, but I was working on them right up until the book was published, as I wanted the voice to be consistent throughout, and there were still lines that felt clumsy or un-musical. The great challenge is to balance music with the images and the meaning. It’s a slippery formula, like trying to catch water with a net. The poems are so beautiful in Persian, and the meaning of the poems is not separate from that music, so it’s essential to express that music in English as much as possible, to express the full musical capacity of English just as Sayeh expresses the full musical capacity of Persian.
Did you have any support for translating it?
The most important “support” came from Mojdeh Marashi, a native speaker and my partner in the project. Mojdeh elaborated on the texture and history of each word, of each syllable, and of the myths and folktales and literary epics referenced in Sayeh’s poems, the romantic traditional gestures, the metaphysical and religious symbolism, the double meanings, the differences in grammar and syntax, and the political dynamics in Iran between 1948 – 2000, with special focus on the coup d’état of 1953 and the Revolution of 1979, the way an Iranian reader would hear and see each line in the book. Mojdeh worked very hard to teach me, and we labored over every nuance and gesture. She also traveled to Germany and Iran to speak with Sayeh directly.
The renowned Persian poet and scholar, Shafii Kadkaani (currently teaching at Princeton), also agreed to read the book and to make suggestions. We were also supported by the American literary community, as many of the poems were published by important national literary journals, such as American Letters & Commentary, Crazyhorse, Poetry International, Atlanta Review and the Indiana Review, and two poems were chosen for Shole Wolpeh’s important Anthology, “The Forbidden: Poems from Iran and its Exiles.” In addition to all of that, I was fortunate to win a large grant (Cultural Equities Grant) from the San Francisco Arts Commission, and White Pine Press won grants from the NEA, the Witter Bynner Foundation, and the New York State Council on the Arts. We’re grateful for all of this support, and to Denise Maloney, editor and publisher of White Pine Press, and Elaine Maloney for doing the layout and the design.
Which one of his poems do you like the best and why?
There are several “best” poems, each in its own class. There’s a long poem in the middle of the book called “The Dance of Burning” that reaches the greatest philosophical depth, an inspired poem which reminds me of why I love Rumi and Hafiz so much. Here’s an excerpt of this ten page poem:
What is light but the laughter of Being? Laughter drunk on its own joy?
Light has twirled in seven curtains Before coming to circle in this mirror
Color is the raiment, the red and the white, But the nude body of light is invisible
A few starlings sit on that low branch— How many starlings are in the whole tree?
That little blackness is all they are But they overwhelm the sky when they fly...
The most musical poem is “Sunset on the Green,” at least in terms of what we were able to render into English. The most powerful personal poem is “Caravan,” when the young Sayeh commits to turning his art away from happy love poems and toward the national crisis of poverty and inequality—a fascinating, passionate poem! And equally provocative and perhaps even more haunting is “Arghavaan,” a poem in which Sayeh calls out from his prison cell to the flowering tree in his family garden, “Arghavaan, become my bleeding poem. Keep the memory of my loved ones red on your tongue!”—while in prison during the years after the Islamic Revolution. The poem that contains all others is the masterpiece, “Exiled,” for its music, philosophy, romance and historical witness, a poem which features the circling of the cosmos at the macro and micro levels, from the planets to the blood in the body, as the whirling Dervishes sought to discover and express in their ecstasies of turning. “Exiled” may be my favorite poem over all.
In literary adaptation, which American poets are comparable to Sayeh’s poems?
The traditions are so different, the question is almost impossible to answer, as we can not find Sayeh in any one poet, but perhaps in a distribution of many poets. Sayeh is a poet of large vision and formal innovation, capable of sweeping arcs of grief and love, felt at a personal and a national level. In this he is comparable to Walt Whitman, Hart Crane and Allen Ginsberg, though his tone feels more like Randall Jarrell on one hand and W.S. Merwin on the other, especially in Mewin’s Vietnam era masterpiece, “The Lice.” Musically, I hear a kinship with Native American poets like Joy Harjo and Maurice Kenny, especially in their great chanting poems, such as Harjo’s “She Had Some Horses” and Kenny’s “Dug-Out.” And in this spirit of listening to Sayeh’s poems as incantatory works of oral mastery, Galway Kinnell shares this deep resonance with Sayeh. In Sayeh’s most personal moments, I feel Robert Lowell in one way and Robert Duncan in another. Among the European languages, I feel a closer kinship between Sayeh and Lorca, the poet of duende and silences, (which reminds me also of the haunted presences and silences in poems by L.A. poet Ralph Angel)—yet also Pablo Neruda. Yet it would be too easy to refute any one of these comparisons.
Do you know other Iranian poets and writers
Besides Rumi and Hafiz whose poems I’ve pored over now for twenty years, I’ve studied the master Ferdowsi’s epic Shahnameh (Book of Kings), and the poetry of Shafii Kadkani. And I’ve been excited by the contemporary poetry emerging from the Iranian diaspora, as witnessed in anthologies such as Sholeh Wolpe’s Forbidden and the extensive efforts of Niloufar Talebi’s Belonging.
Are you planning on translating any other Iranian literary works?
At the moment I’m working on translating a book from Spanish, Pablo Neruda’s final book, Calling on the Destruction of Nixon. After that, I’ll take a break to focus on writing my own poems. Since I began translating Sayeh, I’ve written and published four books of my own poems, and I see some of what I’ve learned from Sayeh in those books.

The Ischia Island is an area of active volcanism, hydrothermalism, active faults and historical strong earthquakes. Nevertheless the structural pattern and timing of faulting of Ischia offshore is unknown. Continuous seismic reflection profiles were acquired off Ischia between 2005 and 2007 in the frame of research programs of marine cartography (CARG Project) financed by the Campania Region. The interpretation of seismic lines permitted us to recognize the architecture of syn-eruptive volcanic units interlayered between the Late Quaternary systems tracts.
