With a 37-7 win over the Eagles, the Trojans have started off back-to-back seasons with a 4-0 record. University is currently ranked 1st in PCL pre-league standings. The Trojans are one of eleven teams in the O.C. that remain undefeated.
As the first quarter was underway, the Trojans were unable to find the back of the end zone due to costly penalties. Keeping the Eagles from advancing downfield, Estancia was forced to go four and out on every drive and continued do so for most of the game.
At the end of the first, the score was all tied up at 0-0. With the Trojans scoreless, they wasted no time in the following quarter. Daniel Dolan (Jr.) was the first to score with a 6 yard rushing touchdown and 10:45 left in the quarter. His touchdown would be followed by another from Clark Smith (Sr.), and later Alex Pourdanesh (Jr.).
A hard hit by Francisco Clouthier (Sr.) on an Eagle player brought the game to a stop. While in transition of plays, the player remained motionless until the athletic trainers came to his aid. The stadium was silent until the paramedics appeared and carted him away.
“Although it seemed bad, he just got hit hard and what went on tonight was just precautions that are performed to ensure the wellbeing.” Alyssa Alpert (Athletic Trainer) said. The Eagle player is currently being monitored at a nearby hospital near Estancia.
As the game went on, the coaches decided to force a halftime with 58 seconds left in the first half. When the game picked back up, Smith rushed for a 62 yard touchdown to increase the Trojans score to 37-0.
“It felt great and was an overall team effort.” Smith said. With every touchdown completed off a run, Smith shone the most for his rushing effort, a total of 123 yards (O.C. Varsity).
Leading up to tonight’s game, star running back Sam Winder’s (Sr.) MRI came back negative, so he will be sidelined for the next two weeks. Smith, in place of Winder, showed he could step up when needed.
A huge part of the win came from a defensive shut down led by Thomas Stea (Sr.) who had an interception and three tackles that night.
With 17 seconds left in the game, the Eagles scored off of a two yard rush to the left side. The Trojans were not able to complete the shutout but still won with a score of 37-7.
Next week the Trojans face the Adelanto Saints who are 1-4 in season. The game is expected to be a blowout for UHS.
The Friday following marks the first league game where the Trojans play Beckman at home. This will be Winder’s first game back to the roster if all goes expectedly in the next week. | <urn:uuid:4dfb9f30-b6ed-4134-ab65-8f17d1793938> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://uhsswordandshield.com/12710/sports/uhs-football-breezes-by-estancia-to-remain-undefeated/ | 2024-04-18T13:24:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.979127 | 643 |
Authorities have temporarily closed tourist resorts in the Mount Baldy area of the San Gabriel mountains, where Julian Sands went missing, due to danger of avalanches.
The Mount Baldy resort and popular nearby areas were “temporarily closed” on Monday and would remain that way until further notice, authorities said.
Snow storms have battered the southern Californian region throughout the past week, almost two months on from when British actor Sands was first reported missing after setting out for a hike.
Though no evidence of Sands has yet been found, San Bernardino County Sheriff’s department previously vowed to “bring closure” to his family.

Searches by both ground and air have been suspended while adverse weather conditions continue.
Angeles National Forest tweeted: “After major snowfall near steep mountainsides, there can be avalanche danger.
“The Mt Baldy area, including the Mt Baldy Resort and nearby popular areas for snow play, will remain temporarily closed until further notice due to avalanche danger.”
Last week, the sheriff’s department said the storm meant that further search efforts for Sands would be delayed “for some time”. | <urn:uuid:c3794702-4c32-43fa-bbe6-16dbd9dda851> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/area-julian-sands-disappearance-closed-035557536.html | 2024-04-18T14:03:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.969117 | 306 |
Larry Stenek is the Owner of Art Nelson Sailmaking in Hawaii. He was born in California, but now resides in Honolulu, Hawaii. He moved to Hawaii after he completed the Transpac regatta and just didn’t go back! Larry loves working with his hands and enjoys the technical side of sailing as well. He used to sail in Hawaii, despite the rough waters and cruises around the Kona Coast.
Larry comments on working for Ullman Sails: “In terms of joining the group, the Ullman Sails model fits me perfectly. The group gives us the flexibility to work outside of purely sailmaking (doing rigging and other canvas work) while offering us a lot of support and expertise for designing and building really high-quality sails. I really like how we support each other too.
As a sailor and sailmaker he is the perfect fit for Ullman Sails!

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. PLEASE SEE MY DISCLOSURES FOR MORE INFORMATION
My family is in the process of buying our first home. We have had an interesting few months of it, and when a friend called my husband recently and asked how he was doing, my husband shared our news and then got ready to vent about it – about the “great investment” we almost made that turned out to be quite the opposite, about our landlord refusing to go month to month on our lease after the house fell through, about having to pack up and move…in with my parents, while we (hopefully) closed on another house.
My husband told me he had just opened his mouth to complain when his friend’s voice came through the line, “Buying a house? How exciting! I’m so happy for you guys!” In that instant, my husband realized, yes, it was exciting. And, however bumpy the journey had been, it was definitely one with a happy outcome. Despite the stress along the way, this was a really good thing – he just hadn’t been seeing it that way.
Sometimes, it takes another’s point of view to shake up our own, to make us realize that we have been stuck on one path of thinking or reacting when there are many other paths to choose from. Stressful situations can stop us from keeping things in perspective. Worries loom in the forefront, immediate and menacing, while reason and optimism shrink back to pinpoints on the horizon.
And while there are some instances when “perspective” on the situation doesn’t really apply (and might even be downright disrespectful to suggest), many of the situations we stress about everyday don’t fall into that category. Usually they are things that, while they don’t seem small at the time, actually are, especially when compared to the really big, important things (like waking up every day). It is hard, though, to see things clearly when stuck in the thick of stressful situations. How can we gain back clear sight when our perspective goes out of whack?
Keeping Things In Perspective
It can be immensely helpful to get another’s take on issues that we grapple with – not necessarily soliciting advice from someone, but speaking with a trusted friend who will give us the gift of simply listening, or provide honest feedback when asked. What can be even more important, though, is being able to remind ourselves about keeping things in perspective, to work at keeping the molehills from looking like mountains.
A simple way of doing this can be to follow up a negative thought with a reasonable one before we get mired in the bad. Our “great investment” house turned out to be a money pit and cost us months of house-searching time? Luckily, we found out what we needed to before we actually purchased it, spending very little on a home inspector compared to what buying it would have ended up costing! S
tuck with my parents for two months while making settlement? Thank goodness I have a loving family willing to open their doors to us. Buying a house is stressful? We are both proud and lucky to be able to even make such a choice.
Keeping Things In Perspective In Everyday Life
It applies to many things we deal with every day. Tough day at work?That hard work earns the paycheck at the end of the week. Kids making a mess of the house?What a gift to have healthy, happy kids who are able to run and play (and be taught to clean up).
Many of our everyday complaints can be easily balanced by reminding ourselves of the positive aspects they do have, if only we allow ourselves to view them in a different light. Sometimes, that can even mean trying to see them through another’s eyes. Not by comparing ourselves with others, but by realizing that the world is a big place and can be looked at in many different ways, not just from our own, singular point of view.
Our problems can be regarded in the same way. Looked at it in different light, they may not even seem like problems. Recently, my mom and I were having a conversation about working out and in the middle of complaining about her upper arms (sorry Mom!) she stopped, looked at my daughter (who was listening with a puzzled look on her face) and said “You know what? I’m pretty lucky I have strong arms that can lift you up, aren’t I? Who cares what they look like?” and with that, she picked my daughter up and swung her around, both of them laughing while my mother’s arms, and thoughts, were put firmly into perspective.
Rachel contribute to the site because, with all the negativity and fear being broadcast these days, everyone could use a reminder of the wonder and joy that is always around us, if we only take the time and make the effort to see it. | <urn:uuid:b06c57a8-cfac-496e-88f6-03e1cf03d42f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://unfinishedsuccess.com/keeping-things-perspective/ | 2024-04-18T13:51:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.975613 | 1,032 |
Protecting Structures With Our Termite Infestation Treatments in New York City
Termites demand more attention than any insect pest. Unlimited Pest specialists are knowledgeable in the proper and safe use of pesticides, termite biology and behavior, and the use and maintenance of equipment. Our technicians always use considerable judgment in performing every job. See how effective our termite infestation treatments in New York City and New Jersey are; contact us.
About Termites and Our Treatments
1. How do you know if you have termites?
Get a pest sample and look for the following characteristics:
2. What can termites do to your home?
2.1 How to save your home and budget from being eaten full of holes?
Termites feed on wood. They eat fallen logs and stumps off the forest floor in their natural state. However, on properties, they can eat away the equity you have built up for your establishment and home. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), termites infest millions of homes nationwide, causing billions of dollars in damage annually. Save your home and money by calling Unlimited Pest.
3. How do termites get in?
Termites need moisture and have a low tolerance to light and air. They live underground, attacking homes from below. They only need a small space around a drainpipe, loose mortar joint, or settlement crack in the basement to enter your building.
4. How can Unlimited Pest technicians protect your home and property?
4.1. How does an Unlimited Pest professional termite inspection find termite activity you are unaware of?
While much of termite damage is hidden, termites have few secrets to the eyes of Unlimited Pest professionals. Our technicians know the conditions they favor and how to find activities untrained eyes may not notice.
What will Unlimited Pest do to eliminate my termite problem?
Our team will create an invisible chemical barrier between your house and the termites by applying chemicals that will affect them as they pass through the barrier. They’ll also carry the chemical back to the termite colony, destroying it.
The treatment starts with a thorough inspection. Afterward, we will prepare an analysis of your home and property. Finally, we will apply materials to eliminate termites effectively.
4.3. How will Unlimited Pest achieve this invisible barrier?
We use different methods in each house, depending on the type of foundation, presence of construction chimneys, crawl space, or basement. We can apply materials by rodding along the walls, drilling through horizontal surfaces and into voids, or digging narrow trenches. The materials we use will kill termites and prevent their colony’s reentry.
4.4. Won’t this kind of thorough treatment be troublesome?
No, because we use new termite elimination technology. Our treatments usually take a single day or less, so they will not affect your daily routine. Additionally, since a home is the largest single investment most families in America will ever make, protecting its value is not much trouble.
5. What will you see us do as we treat your home?
6. How can you make your home a fortress against termites?
Unlimited Pest’s termite treatment creates an invisible underground barrier that prevents termite entry. Our methods create treatment zones that prevent future infestations. With the latest information and equipment, our services will cause less disruption to your home. We will also provide annual inspections to safeguard your home as long as you keep your coverage in effect.

- The market misprices Amazon’s earnings and sales potential.
- Amazon is not oversold, technically, but the chart setup is increasingly bearish.
- AWS has substantial operating income potential going forward.
Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) has been in an extended down channel since August, and the stock appears poised to challenge its previous 52-week low in the near term.
I believe that the market has become too afraid to touch Amazon following a weak sales forecast for 4Q-22, and that a potential drop to a new 52-week low should be viewed as a buying opportunity (and as a Christmas gift).
Amazon is a true economic heavyweight, with multiple businesses that generate billions of dollars in operating and net income each quarter.
Furthermore, Amazon’s stock trades at an absurd valuation, despite the fact that AWS is an industry leader in its field.
Given Amazon’s exorbitant valuation and the negative market sentiment toward AMZN, I believe investors should become greedy.
The Technical Setup In The Short-Term Is Very Bearish
Amazon is in a downward spiral, and even the company’s strong third-quarter results were insufficient to propel Amazon’s stock into a higher market valuation.
In terms of Amazon’s chart situation, three bearish indicators have appeared since August:
- The stock price fell through the 50-day moving average in September, accelerating the stock’s downward momentum;
- The stock ‘gapped down’ following the 3Q-22 report and failed to recover in time; and
- The stock immediately fell to new lows following earnings and failed to ‘gap-close’ in the months that followed.
Furthermore, Amazon is trading near its 52-week low and may soon fall to a new one, which I believe would represent a highly appealing buying opportunity for investors.
Why Does Amazon Trade At 52-Week Lows And Why Is The Company Valued So Lowly?
The primary reason for Amazon’s stock decline this year is the repricing of Amazon’s growth prospects in an increasingly sluggish economy. Investors simply do not expect Amazon to deliver double-digit sales growth, resulting in a 47% valuation cut.
Amazon achieved 22% YoY sales growth in 2021, aided by pandemic tailwinds, but the company will be lucky to achieve a little more than a third of this rate in 2022. The market currently forecasts only 8.60% YoY sales growth in 2022, and the outlook for 2023 is not much better: the average estimate for 2023 forecasts only about 10.50% YoY sales growth.
A number of factors are influencing the market’s assessment of Amazon’s growth prospects. Obviously, the pandemic provided a significant boost to Amazon’s eCommerce business, but these tailwinds have faded in 2022.
Furthermore, Amazon is heavily investing in the future, particularly in its cloud business, AWS, and other areas of its business such as global fulfillment center capabilities and Amazon Prime expansion.
Changes in foreign exchange rates have also harmed Amazon’s business this year, resulting in a significant drop in operating income. Amazon’s operating income fell 48% (but 55% in forex-adjusted terms) to $2.5 billion in 3Q-22. The very weak forecast for 4Q-22, which implies sales growth of only 2% to 8%, added to the uncertainty.
While Amazon’s operating income fell in 2022 due to a broader slowdown in the global economy and other challenges, Amazon provides investors with something that many other eCommerce brands do not: it is extremely profitable.
Amazon’s operating income totaled $2.5 billion in 3Q-22, with AWS contributing $5.4 billion in operating income. In short, AWS is now responsible for Amazon’s entire performance. Net sales in the AWS segment increased 27% YoY to $20.5 billion (28% in currency-adjusted terms).
AWS’s trajectory is extremely encouraging, and the company is a market leader in its field. Investors can and should expect AWS to deliver solid business results in the future because it has a strong market position to exploit and AWS’s scalability is a key asset for Amazon, especially during a recession.
What Investors Are Paying
Amazon’s growth currently has the lowest price tag since November, when the stock fell to its 2022 low. With a $510.3 billion average sales assumption, an investment in Amazon costs investors 1.8x sales. This multiple appears to be quite low, given that Amazon traded at twice this multiple just six months ago.
I also believe Amazon is undervalued in this market because it is expected to earn approximately $12 billion in net income this year on an annualized basis.
Why Amazon Might See A Lower Valuation (Risks)
Amazon is a large retail company that is therefore vulnerable to the economy’s cyclical swings, but AWS should not be. AWS is experiencing strong growth as a result of persistent product demand from the corporate sector, and I believe Amazon is currently valued as if AWS did not exist.
I believe Amazon’s valuation includes a very high margin of safety for the world’s most innovative eCommerce company, but there are some risks associated with currency headwinds, lower margins, and high operating costs.
In my opinion, the market is completely wrong about Amazon’s future growth prospects. I believe the market has gone insane by valuing Amazon at a sales multiple of 1.8x, despite the fact that the company generates massive operating profits, particularly from the AWS business line.
Amazon’s down channel, in my opinion, has been largely driven by concerns about the company’s sales growth, particularly the 4Q-22 outlook, which I believe investors continue to overreact to.
Yes, Amazon’s growth is slowing, but it has never paid to bet against Amazon in the last twenty years, and I find it difficult to believe that a company with a quarterly net income of ~$3 billion is losing its edge.

That application you submitted resulted in an interview, and now you’re ready to land the job. You’ve researched the company, you’ve practiced your interview answers and set out your suit and tie. But is there anything else you can do to get an edge, to further impress your interviewer? As it happens, there is: Nearly every interview ends with an opportunity to ask questions, and asking the right ones will put you ahead of the pack.
Because the purpose of a job interview is to figure out whether you’re a good fit for the job, the interviewer will probably ask you scenario-based and some personal questions to confirm your qualifications and assess your attitude. However, there’s a subconscious element too: If your interviewer likes you and responds well to you, he or she is likely to give you a much better score or recommendation than otherwise.
Interviewers tend to follow a script – asking the same questions helps make the process fair to all applicants – so there are limited opportunities for you to shine. But when the interviewer asks, “Do you have any questions for me?” then you have an opportunity to shine. Use it to show yourself as engaged, eager and a good (potential) co-worker. Failing to ask any questions makes you look uninterested and uninteresting (not to mention even lazy and/or entitled)
Also, asking thoughtful, interesting questions will lead the interviewer to invest in you by providing answers, and maybe even confide in you a little bit, which helps the relationship between you and your interviewer feel like, well, a relationship. The interviewer will subconsciously remember that positive connection with you when crafting his/her recommendations to the higher-ups. Here are 10 impressive questions to ask in an interview:
1. “How long have you worked here? What do you like most about it?” Obviously, if the interviewer has introduced him/herself and already told you how long they’ve worked with the company, skip that part. But the second part of the question lets the interviewer talk about him or herself (and who doesn’t enjoy that?) and lets you know whether employees enjoy working there.
2. “Where else have you worked in the company?” The word “else” is in this question because most interviewers will tell you their current job as a way to introduce themselves. Obviously, if they haven’t told you where they work, just ask them. The answer can provide some insight into the broader culture of the company and provoke good follow-up questions like, “Which job was your favorite?” Ultimately, this question will give you a good sense of the company while letting the interviewer connect with you by talking about him or herself, building more rapport between you and maybe a more positive impression.
3. “How do you respond when an employee comes up with a good idea?” It’s important to ask this question innocently, because if you’re not careful it will come off like a challenge. But it’s an invitation to the interviewer to explain a bit of the company culture, namely how it values and responds to employees, and makes you seem like you’re ready to start improving things right off the bat.
4. “Is there much opportunity for overtime?” or “Do you keep things running during weekends?” Tailor this question to the type of job in question. “Overtime” applies to workers who earn an hourly wage, weekend work to salaried employees. It will make a big difference in your quality of life, so it falls in the category of things important to you. But this is the question of someone interested in the job.
5. “What are my advancement opportunities in the long-term?” You probably want to add the “in the long-term” part because otherwise this question could be taken to mean you’re not satisfied with the job at stake in the interview (you may not be, of course, but don’t tell the interviewer that!). But this is another question that shows you’re thinking of committing to the job, because you’re thinking about an extended future with the company.
6. “Is there a chance I’ll be relocated?” This is another question that shows interest in the company as a long-term career, and it’s good to know if you just completed your final PCS.
7. “Am I replacing someone? What happened to them? What did you like best about their work?” These questions will provide some free mentoring upfront, along with an idea of the actual expectations of the job (as contrasted with the on-paper expectations of the job posting). Of course, you might get, “I’m not comfortable talking about that,” which usually means the former job occupant was fired, or they were promoted, which allows you to follow up with a question about advancement. Either way, good information to have, and good searching questions from someone serious about succeeding in the job.
8. “What are common mistakes people have made in this position?” If you’re serious about the job, make sure you note the answers by writing them down. This is another way to get some upfront mentoring, and will impress the interviewer by showing you take your performance seriously.
9. “What do you find most exciting about this company?” A fun, feel-good question that gives the interviewer an opportunity to talk, and which will give you a practical look at daily life working there and/or an idea of the practical goals of the company.
Bonus: Questions to avoid in an interview. Just as the right questions create a favorable impression of your eagerness and investment in the job, so also the wrong questions can sour an interviewer on you. If that happens, they can find any pretext to push other candidates ahead.
Avoid asking questions (or using a tone) that imply you aren’t impressed with the company, like “Do you have any community service initiatives?” or “Do you use [insert specialized software or system] at this company?”
Don’t ask about benefits, because it makes you seem entitled. Don’t mention your minimum required salary. When they offer you the job, then is the time to talk compensation and benefits.
Don’t ask if they’ve employed a lot of veterans – you don’t want to create the impression that you’re looking for a former-military environment, because they want someone to integrate into their culture, not impose another.
Just remember that you need this interview to result in a job offer, and that largely depends on the impression of the interviewer. What will distinguish you in his or her mind from other seemingly qualified candidates is whether you seem like a good fit. The game here is to make them like and respect you while feeling comfortable that you’d be a good addition. You have a lot more leverage for negotiation when they finally offer you the job. | <urn:uuid:c996a3c4-2fc9-41ac-85a4-1efc0acb60b6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://updates.gijobs.com/impressive-questions-to-ask-the-interviewer/ | 2024-04-18T14:02:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.959235 | 1,488 |
Can You Put Driveway Sealer On Gravel? (Find Out Now!)
A gravel driveway that is several years old can begin to look a little sad. Gravel tends to migrate, leaving bare patches or uneven places on your driveway. You can, of course, simply add more gravel to your driveway. However, many people consider applying a driveway sealer on top of their gravel driveway. Is this a viable solution?
You can apply most driveway sealer products to a gravel driveway, but the outcome may be less than satisfactory. The gravel may not provide a suitable base for an asphalt-based driveway sealer. Some epoxy-based driveway sealers can be poured over existing gravel driveways with suitable results.
You probably chose gravel for your driveway for some specific reasons. It may have been the cost that led you to a gravel driveway. However, aesthetics is the biggest reason most people choose gravel for their driveways. In any case, adding a driveway sealer to your gravel drive may not be the solution you are seeking.
What Are the Options for Sealing My Gravel Driveway?
There are two basic options for sealing a gravel driveway. Each of these options has its advantages and disadvantages. You should understand the pros and cons of each type of driveway sealant before you decide.
Hot Asphalt Seal Coat
Adding a hot asphalt seal coat to your gravel driveway is probably the least expensive option you can choose. It has properties that make it a good solution for sealing a gravel driveway. Hot asphalt sealers are applied while hot. This causes the sealant to penetrate between and around the gravel, creating a denser surface.
This penetrating action creates a more durable, thicker surface than other sealing materials. However, unless your gravel driveway is properly prepared, the end result may be less than satisfactory. You may experience a crumbly surface that rapidly deteriorates as it weathers.
Many asphalt contractors recommend that an extra layer of gravel be applied to the hot asphalt seal immediately after it is applied. This layer of gravel helps build a driveway surface that is more resistant to wear and damage than just the asphalt alone.
Cold Asphalt Seal Coat
Cold asphalt seal products can produce almost as good results as hot asphalt sealers. The major difference between these two types of seal coating is the heat required. Cold seal products don’t need to be heated. These products can be applied directly to your gravel driveway. Cold seal driveway sealers are emulsified asphalt that must cure properly before being used. These products contain chemicals that keep the asphalt liquid until they are exposed to air. Over time, these chemicals leave the asphalt allowing it to harden and set.
Cold seal driveway sealers are much more sensitive to preparation and conditions than hot seal products. Cold seals cannot be applied below a certain temperature. The gravel base must also be properly prepared, or problems will occur. For best results, follow the manufacturer’s application instructions closely.
A relatively new entry into the driveway sealing market is the epoxy-based driveway sealers. These products effectively create a durable driveway surface when properly applied. In practice, the epoxy resin coats and binds the gravel together to form a solid mass.
The epoxy resin is also waterproof. This waterproof element of epoxy resin prevents water from penetrating the gravel, where it can freeze and thaw, creating cracks and potholes. Epoxy resin driveway sealers tend to have a longer lifespan than asphalt-based driveway sealers.
The downsides of epoxy resin sealers are the cost and the need for extensive preparations before applying the epoxy resin. Epoxy resins are more expensive than asphalt sealers. More extensive work is required to prepare the gravel driveway and may even entail setting forms or adding concrete curbs to contain the epoxy resin as it is applied.
How Well Does Applying a Sealant Work on a Gravel Driveway?
Applying a sealant over a gravel driveway can achieve acceptable results. However, suppose you want a long-lasting solution. In that case, the answer is to install a proper hard surface driveway done by a paving contractor.
Overall, applying a driveway sealer to an existing gravel driveway can end up with some serious problems. Unfortunately, these problems often create more maintenance issues and add additional costs to your gravel driveway situation.
- Voids and Spaces – The sealant material you apply to your gravel driveway may not infiltrate the gravel spaces evenly. This can lead to voids and spaces in the driveway, creating many problems. Your driveway may suffer from crumbling, subsistence, or cracks as the voids break down under use.
- Deterioration From Sunlight – Many cheaper sealers, especially cold seal asphalt products, are susceptible to being broken down by sunlight. This can be as minor as color changes that give your driveway a mottled appearance. On the other end of the scale, the sealer may suffer major deterioration and begin to crumble and lose its integrity.
- Structural Problems – If the sealer or the gravel driveway is not properly prepared, the driveway may suffer structural failures. This type of structural failure can lead to large potholes or even driveway sections becoming loose and unstable. This type of damage is often not repairable short of removing the gravel and sealer and starting over.
Applying a driveway sealer to an existing gravel driveway is certainly possible. However, the results won’t equal what a professionally installed permanent driveway will provide. Adding a driveway sealer to an existing gravel driveway is a temporary solution rather than a permanent fix.
What Can I Do to Ensure I Get the Best Results from a Driveway Sealer on my Gravel?
You should do several things that will make the application of a driveway sealer more effective and long-lasting. These tips and tricks will help create a better result if you apply a driveway sealer to your gravel driveway.
- Make sure you have an adequate depth of gravel on your driveway. Applying a driveway sealer to a thin layer of gravel will lead to premature cracking.
- Repair any drainage problems on your driveway. If you have areas where water washes across your driveway or stands after rain, these problems should be addressed before applying a driveway sealer to the gravel.
- Areas where your gravel tends to migrate quickly need attention. You may need to add curbs or other retaining features to these areas to keep the gravel in place. This may be a significant problem where the gravel driveway is on a slope.
Proper preparation of your gravel driveway before adding a driveway sealant will give the sealed driveway a longer life. A little work upfront can forestall bigger problems down the road.
Sealing Your Gravel Driveway
Sealing your gravel driveway may be a viable solution to keeping the gravel in place and functional. However, there are the downsides of cost and durability to consider. Whichever option you consider, a little preparation and knowledge can lead you to a better decision.

Over 50s life insurance is a type of life insurance policy designed to be taken out later in life, usually by those in the 50-80 age bracket. Here are some of the key features of an over-50s life insurance policy:
If you’re over 50 then you are guaranteed to be accepted for cover without any need to provide your medical information, which isn’t the case with some standard life insurance policies. This kind of guarantee can be a tonic to those who are of uncertain health, or with a history of family medical issues.
During an initial qualification period (1-2 years), any pay-out that does get made would be proportionate to the amount you’ve already paid into the policy. If you pass away after the qualification period, the full amount would be paid out.
Life insurance policies range in cost depending on the type of policy, the insurer, and the individual taking out the policy. To determine your monthly premium, a life insurance provider will consider the following factors:
You’ll be required to provide basic information such as your name, age, and address when applying for life insurance. Of these, only your age will go towards determining your premium - generally, the older you are then the more you can expect to pay.
You will typically be asked questions about your own medical history, as well as that of your family’s. Failure to disclose certain information, such as a history of heart disease in your family, could invalidate your policy.
You will also need to tell your insurer about any habits you have, such as whether you smoke or drink, and how much. Your occupation will also come into consideration and could boost up your premiums should it be deemed a hazardous job.
The size of the payout you want will also determine how much you pay for your life insurance policy. The larger the payout you require, then the higher your premiums will be.
Over 50s life insurance policies are often advertised as a way to cover funeral costs. With funeral costs rising year on year from a not insignificant base line, a pay-out to help cover them, known as a funeral plan, can make a huge difference.
Equally, the lump sum pay-out can be used as a broader kind of inheritance, providing extra financial help to your loved ones or dependents when you pass away. Ultimately, how the money is used is up to the beneficiaries of the policy, but it’s a good idea to think about what you’d want it to be used for when assessing how much cover you want to take out.
Yes, it is possible to take out more than one life insurance policy. There are many reasons why you may want multiple policies, for example you may have more money compared to when you took out the original policy, you may have new family members, or you might just want to increase the amount left to your loved ones.
Yes, it is possible to take out life insurance with a pre-existing condition. However, you will need to declare any pre-existing medical conditions to your insurer before taking out the policy, as failure to disclose relevant information could invalidate your policy. Any pre-existing conditions will likely increase your premiums, depending on the severity of the condition.
If your personal circumstances change and you can no longer afford to make the monthly payments on your life insurance, your policy could lapse and you will no longer be covered. If you find yourself in this situation, don’t hesitate to get in touch with your insurance provider to see if you can work out an affordable repayment method.
Yes, it is possible to get life insurance if you’re over 80 years old. However, not all providers will offer you cover, and when you do find it then your premiums will likely be higher. This is because premiums are based on the risk of the insurer having to make a payout, which increases significantly the older you get.
Yes, it is possible to cash in your life insurance policy before you die, although this depends on the insurance provider and the type of policy you’ve got so take this into consideration when comparing quotes. Of those insurers that do allow an early payout, you will likely be charged a fee to do so. | <urn:uuid:c0323c65-ac06-46aa-81b5-2c5ebc6dd1d5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://usave.co.uk/life-insurance/life-insurance-for-over-50s/ | 2024-04-18T14:34:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.957579 | 901 |

Now wouldn’t that be an awesome headline!
Given the magical things that are happening at TUCW these days, there is no reason we can’t turn this into a reality!
This is, in fact, our goal for this year’s Canvass (aka Annual Pledge Drive or Budget Drive) – to think magically, and to raise $700,000! That is what is needed from us to collectively fulfill our financial needs for the coming fiscal year. As an entirely self-funded entity, this how we pay staff salaries, maintain the building and grounds, etcetera.
So with Spring just around the corner, we are asked to spring into action and recommit to our beloved spiritual home and our fellow members with our hearts, our energy, and our money.
The Canvass will officially kick-off on Sunday March 20th with Rev. John’s proverbial “Sermon on the Amount”, and will run for 5 weeks, until Sunday April 17th. This is the period in which we will invoke magical thinking and magical giving.
The primary way the Year Round Stewardship Committee will be reaching out to members this year is via “Visiting Stewards” – members from our congregation who will have been trained to call on other congregants for a one-on-one conversation about how this place moves us, why we give, how funds are spent, and what one’s pledge might look like. These conversations can be house calls, or can be held at the church before, after, or in between Sunday services. The particulars of when and where are up to the Visiting Steward and the member(s) being visited to decide.
While we already have a small cadre of Visiting Stewards from previous canvasses, we need more help. Can you please lend your time and energy and help us create the magic?
There will be a training session from a UU consultant at the church on Saturday March 12th from 9:00 am-12:00 pm. Being a Visiting Steward is a fantastic way to meet other members and get more deeply connected to this loving and supportive community. For more information and to volunteer as a Visiting Steward or Stewardship committee member, please contact one of our co-chairs: Mary Money or David Smith.
To help us think more magically, and to celebrate our remarkable community and one another, we will have a congregation-wide party; an evening of food, fun, song and, yes, magic – with a professional magician — for the entire family. This event, “A Night of Living Magically”, will take place mid-way through the canvass. So mark your calendars and SAVE THE DATE: Saturday April 2nd from 6:00 to 8:30 pm.
In preparation for the upcoming Drive, we remind you to check Realm, our on-line church database and giving system, to be certain your 2015 pledge payments are up to date. You can email Dorothy Adams with any questions or issues with the Realm system.
Finally, a here are a few data points from our 2015 Canvass to mull over as we start thinking about our financial commitment to TUCW.

Do not panic owing to the coronavirus outbreak. Stay in touch with your family members via phone.
Coronavirus is a global crisis, and the situation is changing every day. COVID-19 is a virus that causes respiratory disease and in serious cases, it can lead to pneumonia. If one exhibits symptoms such as respiratory distress, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties then he/she may suffer from coronavirus. Since, everyone is advised to stay safe at home and adhere to the recommended precautions, it is equally imperative for cancer patients to take charge of their health during the lockdown period.
“Cancer patients are at a higher risk of suffering from coronavirus. It is the need of the hour for them to avoid venturing out of the house and follow all the necessary precautions,” remarked Dr Dhairyasheel Savant, senior surgical oncologist, reconstructive and microvascular surgeon, Asian Cancer Institute of Oncology (ACI Hospital).
Here’s what cancer patients must do, as per Dr Savant.
It is essential to stay physically active. Not exercising can lead to the loss of body function, muscle weakness and limited range of motion. So, improve your balance and reduce your risk of falls by exercising daily. Try to do your daily chores by leading an active lifestyle. This will allow you to improve your self-esteem. Exercising can also lessen your feeling of nausea. Thus, you will be able to maintain an optimum weight, avoid feeling fatigued and enhance your quality of life.
However, remember to speak to your doctor before undertaking any exercise regime. They will be able suggest an exercise programme based on the stage of cancer and your strength, stamina and flexibility. Other exercises that you can do at home are walking, light stretching and yoga. But avoid doing rigorous activities. If you encounter pain while exercising, then immediately stop.
Cancer patients should opt for a healthy and well-balanced diet at home. Include all the essential nutrients in the diet. Eat foods such as tomatoes, carrots, pumpkin, green leafy vegetables packed with iron and calcium and cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli). Going for fruits like banana, peach, kiwis, berries, pear and oranges that help you get that much-needed vitamin C can be helpful. Bid adieu to deep-fried, oily, spicy, processed, preserved and sugary foods. Add ginger, garlic, and turmeric in the food to help boost immunity. Stay hydrated by drinking a lot of water.
Take charge of your mental well-being
See to it that you meditate to calm yourself down. Do not panic owing to the coronavirus outbreak. Stay in touch with your family members via phone. Spend some ‘ME’ time by doing activities that you like. Read, write, listen to music or opt for gardening. Do not get bogged down.
Structure your schedule
Make a list of activities you would want to do throughout the day. Maintain a journal and write down your thoughts and feelings.
Other important measures
*Do not be around people who are sick or venture out of the house.
*Maintain good personal hygiene. Clean or disinfect objects that you tend to touch frequently.
*Do not exert yourself and rest as much as you can.
*Do not touch your face, nose or even mouth if you haven’t washed your hands.
*If your family members are sick, see to it that they cover their mouths while coughing or sneezing. Also, you must cover your mouth while sneezing or coughing as well. Restrict visitors at home. Dispose of the tissues used to cover the mouth while sneezing or coughing. Maintain social distance at home by staying six feet away from people.
*Do not believe in rumours. Avoid reading news that is distressing.
*Make sure you don’t skip your medications and stay in touch with your doctor.

In the past decade, A24 has evolved into a cinematic phenomenon, with films released under its banner, particularly those in the horror genre, garnering substantial attention. Credit must be given to A24 for consistently exploring different themes, setting itself apart from mainstream horror cinema. By infusing its distinct style into these themes, it manages to distance itself from the conventional, struggling horror genre. However, A24’s biggest challenge with its horror films lies in the disparity between concept and execution, a problem that unfortunately afflicts “Talk To Me” as well.
Upon its initial announcement and especially after the release of its trailer, the film initially captivated my interest, but regrettably, it ultimately conforms to the classic A24 horror formula. While it boasts a compelling concept and reasonably competent execution, it ultimately fails to reach a satisfying conclusion.
Let’s briefly delve into the plot. Hayley (Zoe Terakes) and Joss (Chris Alosio) attempt to capitalize on the mysterious properties of a hand sculpture they discover, turning it into an evening’s entertainment and growing their social media presence with the madness that unfolds at night. Anyone who touches the statue and says “Talk to Me” successfully communicates with the spirits of the deceased. However, when “Let me in” is uttered, the spirit takes control of the body touching the sculpture, speaking through it. Unaware that some spirits manage to remain connected to the living, the youths believe that, as long as the rules are followed, the spirit remains on the other side.
The screenplay of the film, crafted by Danny Philippou, Bill Hinzman, and Daley Pearson, presents an undeniably creative concept. Directors Michael Philippou and Danny Philippou effectively utilize the original idea at the outset. The film attempts to build its narrative around the unstoppable curiosity of young individuals, and for a while, it manages to hold the audience’s attention. However, when the story departs from its established order and ventures into the realm of the living interacting with the dead, the film’s pace unfortunately falters. This, too, is a classic A24 dilemma: a promising concept with a weak outcome.
The film essentially tells the audience what will happen at a certain point. The youthful fascination with spirits must somehow lead to a dire outcome. But how? One of the spirits should escape. Quite conventional, but always powerful. My expectation as a viewer was for the escaped spirit to unleash terror. After all, we witness the visuals and conversations of the spirits that the youngsters encounter, and it becomes apparent that none of them are benevolent. However, despite the film’s investment in building tension during the sequence involving the spirit escaping through Riley (Joe Bird), it ultimately delivers a much lower level of suspense than anticipated. If we were to divide the film into two acts, one before Riley and one after, the first act excels, but the second act fails to live up to the tension it creates, sadly offering a much slower pace than the initial part.
Sophie Wilde, portraying the character Mia, delivers an absolutely outstanding performance. The film effectively utilizes Mia’s need to reach her mother and her consequent poor decision-making, skillfully playing on the theme of youthful foolishness. The film’s tension is built through Mia’s series of wrong decisions throughout. It’s a simple and classic method of storytelling. The writers and directors do not encounter any issues in character development and storytelling; in fact, they excel in these aspects. If they had followed through and surpassed the promise they set up in the first act during the second act, this could have been a memorable film for years to come. However, I must admit that I appreciated the ending, even if it was somewhat predictable, as I found it to be the most logical and fitting conclusion.
In summary, “Talk To Me” presents an exciting thriller with its original concept in the first act, but unfortunately tumbles downhill in the second act. The film should have gained strength, especially after the sequence involving the escaping spirit alongside Riley, but it loses momentum and concludes with a much weaker ending than expected. If only the second act had matched even a fraction of the intensity of the first act, this could have been a much better film. Sadly, perhaps my high expectations contributed to this disappointment. I was hoping for a more robust and striking film, which I did find in the first act. However, during the second act, I lost all my concentration on the film.

Nobody told them that being a good supervisor would be easy. In fact, in some organizations, nobody tells them anything about being a supervisor. Avoid the problems of the new supervisor not knowing what to do and who to ask. Provide your first-line supervisors or potential supervisors with the basic skills needed to make a smooth transition from doing the work to managing the work.
In the MDP program, the content of each seminar builds on the other so that at the end of the series, the participants will have the needed skills to perform each function effectively and efficiently. Although some seminars are a required part of the series, seminars can be added or changed according to your training needs. Supervisors that are not enrolled in the MDP program can attend one or more of the individual seminars and will get a certificate for the ones they have attended. Supervisors who have completed the entire series will get certification that they have completed the program.
Who Should Attend: Potential or new supervisors. Supervisors, who may be in the job, but have had no formal training. Supervisors, who have had formal training, but are having difficulties performing the supervisory function or need a refresher course.
Methodology: This program utilizes lecture, video, case studies, group discussion, structured exercises, practice exercises, assessment tools, on-the-job assignments, question and answer segments.

@sia77 I had the same thing happen to me. After the first shot I almost passed out. Was told it was a common vagal response. After the second shot the same thing happened. I thought that was the extent of it. 6 days later I am having bouts of dizziness, racing heart, palpitations. I went to the ER on day 3 and had bloodwork and an EKG done. They said everything was fine and gave me a sedative. Cutting out caffeine helps a little. I am scheduling a visit with a cardiologist. Thank you for posting this it was extremely helpful to know it's not in my head or just some anxiety issue. If you have any info you can share on the cause of your issues, diagnosis, or anything that has helped you I would really appreciate it!
Hello! I am RN and work with COVID patients. Fortunately, COVID didn't get me but the vaccine did. It is so frustrating. I had an episode of dizziness about 15 minutes after my first Pfizer shot. Two weeks after, almost passed out at work and had to take two weeks off due to my symptoms. I had a sore throat, metallic taste, and dizziness. COVID test came back negative and then I found this forum... I canceled my second shot. It's been four weeks now and my symptoms persist. I have fullness in my left ear, tingling and numbness in my face/neck/tongue, dizziness/nausea. I would say the symptoms are intermittent from mild to moderate but very scary and make me anxious which makes it even worse. My PCP was reluctant to relate it to vaccination but I was 100% healthy before it. I just hope there's not permanent damage.
They are so shy to relate it to the vaccine. Suddenly they go dumb.
Exactly, you said it.
Has anyone tried quercetin and melatonin together? Im thinking about experimenting and seeing what would happen.
Almost two months of leg pain since I had Johnson's vaccine. I have visited lot of doctors but they found nothing. I hope it will get better.
The following three people have experienced Vertigo after taking the Pfizer vaccine. My brother is 67 years old, my sister who is 66 years old and a good friend who is 74 years old. All 3 are in excellent health and had debilitating Vertigo experiences that included spinning sensations and extreme dizziness leading to vomiting. My brother required hospitalization. I wonder if there is a way to find out if more people have had Vertigo after taking the Pfizer vaccine?
Does anyone have pain when they touch their temples?
@ohjason thanks for checking in. It’s been rough. Weeks 9-11 were my worst. I was on Ivermectin, prednisone, and fluvoxamine…then I started having issues walking…like it felt almost as if I was developing Guillian Barre syndrome. So I went to the hospital for a 3 day stay - MRI/bloodwork all normal. They recommended to stop everything except the prednisone. I’m on week 13 now. I’m on short term disability from work and I’m expecting a baby girl in October so I’m up against a clock. Legs/feet are pretty much back to normal though after stopping the medication. Not sure if that was it or if it was the vaccine causing my nervous system to attack itself.
I started following Dr. Dmitry Kats’ B3 vitamin protocol a day before I went to the ER and more recently his niacin/melatonin protocol. It has definitely helped with the fatigue and I feel like I’m “flushing” the spike protein out of my body. But one thing that is not clearing up is my dizziness. I feel pressure above my left eye, and it just feels so weird - like my brain can’t keep up with my eye. Eyes are very heavy and sensitive to light. And although the boat rocking has substantially subsided, it’s still there.
Honestly if I could clear up my head/dizziness and eye issues, I’d feel 95%. I’m afraid it’s a vestibular migraine though which is extremely hard to treat.
Along with Dr. Kats’ protocol (I spoke with him as well), I started acupuncture, I’m starting physical therapy next week, speaking with a highly rated holistic medicine doctor next Thursday, and I have an appointment with an ENT at the end of the month who is well known for treating vestibular disorders. I’m throwing everything I got at it - eastern medicine and western medicine. Hopefully something works.
I haven’t been on the forum for a while because I’ve been focusing on mentally getting in a better place. Too much reading about all of this pushed my anxiety through the roof. I’m now in the mindset that I will fully recover and overcome this which is definitely helping me get through the days.
I wish we had some more frequent recovery stories on here. I’ve been waiting to get back to my old self so I can give everyone good news. The second I do I’ll be posting it!
@djmatera Its actually kinda funny that you bring up the niacin protocol, I've been thinking about trying it myself but I was kinda scared of any potential side effects etc. I've mainly been taking quecertin zinc and glutathione and I feel like I hit a wall atm. Hopefully with more time things improve, I've had trouble trying to get treatment from certain doctors because of a bunch of shit ( They are on vacation, personal family issues, etc ) I really hope there's nothing super seriouslywrong with me because atm I'm in the dark.
- I received my 1st Phizer vaccine on May 11. Two weeks later I had nausea and diarrhea for 3 days. On the 5th day I started having dizziness and feeling off balance. It went on for a week and a half until I went to Patient First. I never suffered from dizziness before. They did blood work, urine sample and EKG and everything was normal. They checked my ears and saw that my left ear was full with fluid. They drained my ear and I felt a lot better. One week later, my left arm was in so much pain....just throbbing at the injection site. I could not move my arm at all. I started taking naproxen 200mg and putting ice and the heating pad on several times a day. NOTHING WORKED!!!! July 1st I was scheduled to take my 2nd shot. I get to the sight and discussed my issues with the nurse. She said it was common and I would be okay with getting the 2nd shot. Let's just say as of Sunday, August 22nd, I am still suffering with mild nausea, dizziness & off balance. I've seen 2 different specialist that still can't figure out what's wrong. I took a VNG test and they saw some abnormalities so now I have to get an MRI on Wednesday. I'm taking meclizine to help with the dizziness & off balance. This has been so scary to me. I am type 2 diabetic but it was under control. Otherwise, I'm a pretty good healthy eater that worked out 6 days a week before I got the vaccine. I can't see any other reason for my illness. Anyone else have an MRI? If so, what were your results? Feeling a little nervous about this. | <urn:uuid:9aea8e5a-cd01-4862-8ab1-814d7b4bf32f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://vestibular.org/forum/dizziness/covid-19-vaccine-side-effects/paged/479/ | 2024-04-18T14:28:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.983367 | 1,579 |

[The following excerpt from The Victorian Age in Literature is based on Project Gutenberg's EBook #18639, which Karina Aleksandrova, Juliet Sutherland and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net produced.George P. Landow formatted the text and added links to other material in the Victorian Web]
His noble enduring quality in our literature is this: that he truly had an abstract passion for history; a warm, poetic and sincere enthusiasm for great things as such; an ardour and appetite for great books, great battles, great cities, great men. He felt and used names like trumpets. The reader's greatest joy is in the writer's own joy, when he can let his last phrase fall like a hammer on some resounding name like Hildebrand or Charlemagne, on the eagles of Rome or the pillars of Hercules. As with Walter Scott, some of the best things in his prose and poetry are the surnames that he did not make. And it is remarkable to notice that this romance of history, so far from making him more partial or untrustworthy, was the only thing that made him moderately just. His reason was entirely one-sided and fanatical. It was his imagination that was well-balanced and broad. He was monotonously certain that only Whigs were right; but it was necessary that Tories should at least be great, that his heroes might have foemen worthy of their steel. If there was one thing in the world he hated it was a High Church Royalist parson; yet when Jeremy Collier the Jacobite priest raises a real banner, all Macaulay's blood warms with the mere prospect of a fight. "It is inspiriting to see how gallantly the solitary outlaw advances to attack enemies formidable separately, and, it might have been thought, irresistible when combined; distributes his swashing blows right and left among Wycherley, Congreve and Vanbrugh, treads the wretched D'Urfey down in the dirt beneath his feet; and strikes with all his strength full at the towering crest of Dryden." That is exactly where Macaulay is great; because he is almost Homeric. The whole triumph turns upon mere names; but men are commanded by names. So his poem on the Armada is really a good geography book gone mad; one sees the map of England come alive and march and mix under the eye.

What Are Hospital Supply Chain Costs?
- Saving Costs Optimizing the supply chain can lead to enormous savings in annual costs – to the tune of $25.4 billion nationally. At the hospital level, reducing wastage can save a facility’s supply chain $11 million per year.
- Minimizing risks Shortage of supplies, use of expired products, etc., are some incidences that often characterize a poorly managed supply chain. These inefficiencies pose significant risks to patients and can immensely reduce the quality of a hospital’s services and reputation. Hence, optimizing the supply chain is essential to help minimize these risks.
- Increasing service quality Hospital management’s top priority is to ensure patients’ safety and quick recovery. However, inefficient supply chains keep physicians away from patients for unnecessary long durations. According to studies, physicians spend nearly 20% of their time on supply chain tasks. This translates to low productivity and reduced service quality. By optimizing the supply chain, hospitals can increase patient-physician time, thereby guaranteeing improved service quality.
How to Optimize Hospital Supply Chain Costs
Essentially, there are plenty of opportunities for increasing the supply chain’s efficiency without compromising the quality of care. For example, a report shows that Medicare quality programs’ high performers record impressive efficiency in their supply chains by implementing cost-saving strategies. Some of those strategies include:
- Improving Data Integrity
Inaccurate and inconsistent data can inhibit the efficiency of the supply chain immensely. The biggest downside of this is that inventory discrepancies can misinform purchasing decisions. Again, when the supply chain operates with inaccurate data, the risk of supplies running out becomes apparent, a situation that can affect the service quality negatively and throw the supply department into an even deeper mess.
One of the best ways of improving data integrity is investing in data management software. This can guarantee accurate data capture throughout the supply chain by eliminating the risk of human error synonymous with manual processes. However, for complete fool-proof data management, accurate product identification is essential. Among other things, the supply chain must ensure that the correct name, cost, and quantity details are captured for better control. - Enhancing Utilization
Another way that the hospital supply chain can increase efficiency is by enhancing utilization. Past research has shown that analyzing, planning, and controlling the purchasing process can reduce costs by up to 15%. This is because it provides accurate information on the supplies needed at any particular time. Consequently, you can buy only what is required hence avoid wastage.
However, to successfully implement this strategy, you would require to insist that the medics utilize only what they need in a particular procedure. To get them to cooperate, you can hold occasional meetings to sensitize them on the benefits of prudent resource utilization. Quoting statistics and relating how they impact the hospital margins and ultimate service quality can help drive the point home. - Standardizing Supplies
Standardization is another strategy that can help reduce costs. Usually, similar-use supplies may have varying prices from one manufacturer to other. Sometimes, the products may have slight distinctions but achieve the same results on a particular procedure. By decreasing the variations in the orders requested across the hospital, the supply chain can easily achieve cost-effectiveness in supplies acquisition.
This would require researching the most affordable product among a group of similar-use items and then making it standard across the hospital. In some cases, the physicians might not be aware of the cost of their preferred products, hence continue ordering pricey supplies obliviously. Letting them know the cost of their select products versus affordable alternatives is an easy way of getting them to embrace cost-cutting measures.
Other times, the physicians may stick to specific products for lack of knowledge of using cost-effective alternatives. In this case, the hospital should provide training to equip the physicians with the necessary skills. - Retendering
Having consistent suppliers has its convenience. However, it may hurt your supply chain costs over time, especially if the suppliers exploit your loyalty through non-competitive prices.
One way of avoiding this trap is by entering into open contracts with your suppliers and retendering from time to time. Essentially, you should keep researching the market for information on changing trends. This can encourage your suppliers to keep offering competitive prices, and you can also retender whenever better deals come up. - Encouraging Internal Collaboration
As much as you want to implement strict cost-saving strategies, a more effective approach requires getting the medics involved. One thing you should expect is that they may not always appreciate your recommendations.
By having a sitting with them, they can elaborate the reasons for their dissent; then, you can take an informed action based on that. In some cases, they may have valid reasons, but other times it may be mere resistance to change, probably for lack of expertise on how to use the products.
The essence of being on the same page with them is that it can help you garner better cooperation in your cost-cutting measures. Again, the team can provide handy recommendations and opinions, which can go a long way in optimizing the supply chain. - Establishing Trading Partnership
Unless you’re a giant healthcare provider with an extensive network of facilities, forming a trading partnership with other health providers can be incredibly beneficial. This is because you can aggregate purchasing to bargain for better pricing and terms. Moreover, you can collaborate to conduct research and exchange market insights on cost-effective and efficient trends in supply management and utilization. - Stepping Up Inventory Management
Inventory management is an ever-present challenge in most hospital supply chains. For instance, a slight lag in inventory management can be felt across the entire hospital. While shortage is the worst-case scenario that can harm the patient experience and hospital reputation, overstocking also has unpleasant effects. Not only can it contribute to resource wastage, but it can strain the budget by tying up funds that could be useful elsewhere.
As poor inventory management impacts a hospital’s overall performance, stepping up the process can significantly affect the supply chain’s efficiency, cut costs, and improve the margins. Some essential tips for cost-saving inventory management include:- Automation
- Clear assigning of responsibilities
- Data collection
- Frequent analyzes and control
- Seamless recordkeeping
- Systematic supply room organization
- Reviewing Your Pricing Model Regularly
Offering competitive prices is essential in patient acquisition and retention. However, this requires regular reviewing of the pricing model to ensure you don’t run the hospital into losses.
One way to achieve this is by cutting costs, as it allows you to offer competitive prices without affecting the margins. This requires regular research on cost-effective products and procedures that improve efficiency without compromising on the quality of service. Again, you need to regularly research your competitors to find out how much they charge for their services. - Improving Order Accuracy
Last but not least, ensuring data integrity during the ordering process is essential not just for the supply chain efficiency but for the entire hospital. Ordering the wrong supplies can harm both your service delivery and margins.
To begin with, it can mess up your lead times, leading to supply shortages. Consequently, lacking the right supplies may delay essential procedures. And as we have mentioned, negative patient experience can harm your margins. Again, erroneous ordering results in massive losses. For these reasons, improving order accuracy can go a long way in optimizing your supply chain.
Start Optimizing Your Hospital Supply Chain Costs
As much as new trends such as automation of inventory management processes have drastically reduced hospital supply chain costs, they still constitute a huge chunk of a facility’s overheads. Studies have also indicated that part of the costs results from wastage, costing hospitals millions of dollars. But a good thing is that you can implement cost-saving strategies that optimize the supply chain without compromising the service quality. Besides saving costs, optimizing the supply chain can help minimize risks and increase the quality of your services. As we have discussed above, you have tons of optimization tricks at your disposal; you only need to implement them.

Protecting Singapore businesses and homes in the face of growing cyberthreats
ViewQwest wins in this year’s Asian Telecom Awards with their SecureNet service
Singapore, 6 April 2023 – Global internet penetration has grown from 54% in 2019 to 63% currently, and Singapore continues to be one of South East Asia’s leading digital nations with a nationwide fibre infrastructure and 92% of the total population (5.45 million) now online.
This pervasive connectivity and reliance on the internet has created increased exposure to the threat of cybercrimes such as phishing attacks, ransomware, and dangerous malware. These now constitute nearly half (48%) of total crimes in Singapore as of 2021.
Having fast internet — even the fastest in the country — is now no longer enough. Network security shouldn’t be optional, but a necessity. Faced with this challenge, telecom and cybersecurity services provider, ViewQwest, launched their SecureNet service as part of their broadband offering in Singapore. Developed as a countermeasure against cyber threats in partnership with global cyber security leader Palo Alto Networks, SecureNet automatically blocks online threats before they wreak havoc in homes, businesses, and organisations across the country. Because of this innovation, ViewQwest has been awarded the Broadband Telecom Company of the Year – Singapore Award at the 2023 Asian Telecom Awards.
The awards programme recognises the efforts of Asia’s telecommunications companies in providing high-quality products and services to the market, and ViewQwest has elevated itself from Singapore’s telecom landscape after providing a simple yet effective protection to customers against cyber threats.
Recognised five years in a row from 2018 to 2022 by Ookla Speedtest Awards as the Fastest Fixed Broadband in Singapore, ViewQwest has gone beyond providing fast internet connection and rolled out SecureNet to ensure customers’ broadband connectivity is equipped with network security at all times in their homes and businesses.
Statistically, Singapore recorded 55,000 cases of phishing in 2021 which exposes victims’ private data and financial information. ViewQwest was the first telco in Singapore to take this innovative step towards providing accessible and effective cyber protection to their customers, with most focusing their efforts on entertainment, gaming, smart home, and connected hardware bundles, all of which can be potential entryways for attacks.
What separates SecureNet from other cyber security offerings is that the company has built into their infrastructure not only the capabilities to support the high speeds they offer but also the protection and safety measures they have installed to ensure uninterrupted cyber protection.
With their partnership with Palo Alto Networks, one of the world’s leading cybersecurity organisations, ViewQwest leverages machine learning technology to conduct full deep packet network traffic inspection that automatically filters out online threats such as malware, botnet attacks, and phishing activities. This technology and security platform is constantly updated and upgraded to meet the ever-evolving capabilities of cyber threats in what is similar to a digital arms race.
ViewQwest has also designed SecureNet to overcome the complexity and cost that often become hurdles to cybersecurity adoption, especially for homes and smaller businesses that usually may not have any IT background or tech expertise. SecureNet provides effective and easy network security with no need for any application app or hardware to be set up or installed on the customer’s side as it is built into ViewQwest’s broadband service.
The company reports that their penetration for their residential and SME customer base is at 31%, resulting in SecureNet blocking nearly 33 million malicious ads and five million malware attacks during the third quarter of 2022 alone. This is double the amount of cyberattacks prevented during the first quarter of the same year amounting to 18.6 million cyberattacks
With SecureNet, ViewQwest has successfully protected thousands of customers, preventing potential financial losses, lost productivity, and privacy loss.
In the face of growing cyber threats, ViewQwest believes that telcos have the responsibility to not only give the best service to their customers but to also protect them from cyber threats. Singapore is amongst the leading nations on the path to becoming a digital-first country. It’s essential now that all roads that lead to this vision also be secure. | <urn:uuid:6de89dc8-40ef-4777-bc12-b77f06521663> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://viewqwest.com/sg/news/asian-telecom-awards-2023-winner-viewqwest-pte-ltd/ | 2024-04-18T14:31:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.949591 | 863 |
VCN – In dividend season this year, many banks have passed a decision not to pay dividends to retain profits to serve business needs. For shareholders, these decisions do not bring much joy, though according to the banks, this is a “trade-off” for future development.

Missed appointment by “blood clot” at VAMC
At the General Meeting of Shareholders of Vietnam Maritime Commercial Joint Stock Bank (MSB), Huynh BuuQuang, Vice Chairman of MSB’s Board of Directors, said the remaining profit of 2019 was nearly VND900 billion. However, if dividends are affected, MSB’s ability to operate will be further developed.
In 2020, MSB aims to completely handle bad debt bonds under management at Vietnam Asset Management Company (VAMC). According to the regulations of the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV), banks that have not yet handled NPLs at VAMC cannot receive dividends. Therefore, he promised that, in 2021, he will pay dividends to shareholders, because in 2019, the General Meeting of Shareholders has approved the plan not to pay dividends for 2019 but to pay 10% dividends for 2020, but until now cannot do it again.
Similarly, Saigon Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SCB) has not paid a dividend for many years, while total assets have increased many times. This makes many shareholders disagree and require a dividend. But according to SCB’s leaders, the dividend payment without permission is very difficult, because the bank is still in the process of handling bad debts managed at VAMC.
At Vietnam Export-Import Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Eximbank), in order to paydividends to shareholders, this bank also has to handle about VND3,300 billion of bonds being managed at VAMC. However, by the end of 2019, Eximbank has made a provision of VND2,100 billion. So, the bank also needs more than VND1,000 billion to settle all bonds at VAMC. It is expected that this can be done in June 2020, when all is done,Eximbank can plan its dividend payment as prescribed.
Not divided and then… not divided
According to the document of the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in 2020 of AnBinh Commercial Joint Stock Bank (ABBank), the Board of Directors intends to submit to the General Meeting of Shareholders through the distribution of profits, with the proposal of allowing to retain all undistributed profit after tax. This means that ABBank will not pay dividends to shareholders. While before that, in 2019, the bank’s General Meeting of Shareholders also approved the plan of not paying dividends to shareholders, the whole remaining profit in 2108 of VND624 billion was retained to continue increasing financial capacity. Therefore, the total remaining undistributed profit is now over VND1,403 billion.
The Board of Directors of this bank explained that the retained profit after tax is to accumulate capital to enhance financial capacity, to meet the requirements of SBV regulations and the bank’s development needs in the coming years. This is necessary so the Board of Directors proposes to retain all remaining after-tax profits to increase charter capital.
Another bank that continues to not pay dividends is Saigon Thuong Tin Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Sacombank). This made many shareholders of Sacombank “annoyed” with the fact that for many years the bank did not pay dividends, although the business results were very good and the accumulated profit also reached a high level. The reason given by the bank’s management is that the SBV has not yet agreed with Sacombank’s proposal to share dividends by shares because it is in the restructuring phase. Therefore, Sacombank’s leaders only know that by 2022-2023 there will be a breakthrough, when the bank is restructured, it will be stronger and dividends will be paid.
For Vietnam Prosperity Joint Stock Commercial Bank (VPBank), in 2019 and 2020, the bank did not pay dividends but leave profits to develop the bank. Bui HaiQuan, Vice Chairman of VPBank’s Board of Directors, said this is a trade-off because the bank’s goal of keeping money is for bank development, because the banking industry needs continuous growth to ensure market share and the safety ratio, so it is not possible to meet the regular annual cash dividend.
In fact, as soon as the Covid-19 pandemicbroke out domestically in March, the SBV instructed credit institutions to adjust their business plans and financial plans in line with the reality before the shareholdersmeeting, in the immediate future, do not pay cash dividends in order to focus resources on sharply reducing lending interest rates on current and new loans. Therefore, one part is to comply with this requirement of the regulatory authority, one part is to meet financial plans, especially capital raising plan, banks, one is not dividend, and the other is divided by stock dividends.
The recent General Meeting of Shareholders of TienPhong Commercial Joint Stock Bank (TPBank) has approved to increase the charter capital from VND8,566 billion to VND10,199 billion by paying 20% of the stock dividend, expected to be implemented in the third and fourth quarter of 2020. Orient Commercial Joint Stock Bank (OCB) has set a target of 25-27% stock dividend to increase its capital by VND1,299 billion. Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank (ACB) pays 30% dividend by stock. Ho Chi Minh City Development Commercial Joint Stock Bank (HDBank) plans to issue bonus shares and pay a dividend of 65%.

Continuing on the way to Varkiza, after the lake of Vouliagmeni, the rocks form on the coastline small natural coves with beaches that have turquoise waters. These coves with sea-beaten and wind-eaten rocks with minimal vegetation from small shrubs are the famous Limanakia (small Ports), which are particularly dear to the Athenians.
The area is formed by rocky soils that sink relatively steeply into the waters of the sea and form beautiful picturesque small coves.
The area belongs to the freed diving sites and most diving learning schools in Athens are active there. The ports become, especially in the summer, a gathering place for hundreds of swimmers, divers and snorkelers.
A dip in the ports of Mystral in Varkiza leaves satisfied and the most demanding divers.
Life here is rich. In the openings of the rocks hide dragons, while octopuses, sparrowheads and sars frequent the area.
But the most famous spot in the ports is the Devil's Well. It is in the second port of Vouliagmeni and it is an underwater well. There, at a depth of 11 meters, there is a hole 3 meters in diameter. At the end of the well there are protective railings that prohibit the entry of divers into the underwater cave.
Its position is marked by a red buoy tied with rope to the bottom of the sea.
A small canteen serves the needs of guests, which late at night is converted into an outdoor romantic Bar.
Limanakia with their wild beauty are a destination for young people but also for divers who want to explore the sea wealth of their seabed. | <urn:uuid:6229cd23-5213-455b-a21c-a334d2e5d61b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://visitvarivoulavouliagmeni.gr/index.php/en/for-kids-playgrounds/item/76-playground-kavouriou | 2024-04-18T14:32:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.95594 | 352 |

I like writing about many things
Dawn to Dusk: Embracing Our Unique Sleep Rhythms
In the delightful tableau before us, we encounter the enchanting coexistence of an early bird and a night owl, gracefully navigating their respective natural domains. The early bird, a radiant harbinger of the morning, joyously rises with the sun, their vitality palpable as they eagerly leap out of bed. Throughout the day, this spirited creature steadily invests its energy, yet gradually succumbs to the gentle lull of exhaustion, gracefully surrendering to a peaceful rest around the time of sunset.
Break Procrastination cycle
As the clock strikes 5 p.m., a sudden realization sets in – that report you've been putting off is due tomorrow. The moment has come to buckle down, fire up your computer, and plunge into the task at hand. However, before you fully commit, the allure of checking your phone and catching up on your favorite YouTube channel becomes too tempting to resist. Perhaps a brief detour to prepare dinner first, considering your usual enjoyment of cooking. Yet, the looming work casts a shadow over this routine, and before you know it, the evening has slipped away. The thought of giving it another shot in the morning crosses your mind. Ah, the perpetual cycle of procrastination – a scenario that resonates with us all at some point.
Sibling's Impact on Development
Siblings, often relegated to the sidelines in discussions about child development, command a profound influence that extends far beyond the formative years. In the landscape of family dynamics, sibling relationships take center stage, playing a pivotal role in shaping personalities, values, and the trajectory of individual lives. The prevalence of sibling connections in the United States surpasses even that of relationships with fathers, underscoring the need to unravel the intricate threads of this familial dynamic.
The Attachment Theory
The theory of attachment posits that a robust emotional and physical connection to a primary caregiver during our early years is pivotal for our overall development. The strength of this bond, characterized by secure or insecure attachment, significantly influences how we navigate the world and form relationships throughout our lives. This theory suggests that a secure attachment provides a safe base from which individuals feel empowered to explore their surroundings, fostering trust, connection, and ultimately, success. Conversely, insecurely attached individuals may struggle with trust issues, lack social skills, and encounter difficulties in forming meaningful relationships.
Is it normal to talk to yourself?
As the blaring sound of your morning alarm pierces the silence, you find yourself muttering, "Why did I set it so early?" This thought continues to linger as you go about your morning routine, contemplating the need for a haircut while diligently brushing your teeth. In the haste of rushing out the front door, the realization strikes—you've misplaced your keys. Frustration builds, and you exclaim, "I can't do anything right!" Only then do you notice your neighbor, witnessing this moment of self-dialogue.
The Small Town of Meadowville
Once upon a time in the small town of Meadowville, there lived a young woman named Alice. She had sparkling blue eyes that mirrored the skies on a clear day, and her laughter was as melodious as a songbird's melody. Alice worked at the local bookstore, where she spent her days surrounded by the enchanting worlds found within the pages of countless books.
Whispers of the Forgotten Realm: The Enchanted Forest
In the heart of the Forgotten Realm, where time danced to the rhythm of ancient magic, there lay an enchanted forest cloaked in mystery. The Whispering Woods, as the locals called it, was a realm untouched by the hands of mortals for centuries. Legend had it that the trees themselves whispered tales of forgotten lore, and mystical creatures roamed freely, guarding the secrets hidden within the verdant depths.
Police say many people were killed

Interested in investing in gold? Before you dive in, it’s important to understand the concept of assets and the different types available.
In this article, we’ll explore what assets are, the various types including tangible, intangible, and financial assets.
We’ll also delve into whether gold is considered an asset, its characteristics, benefits, risks, and how you can invest in this precious metal.
Stay tuned to learn more about the world of gold investing!
What Is An Asset?
An asset is a financial instrument or physical entity with a quantifiable economic value that can be owned or controlled to produce positive economic benefits or value. Assets can encompass a wide range of items, from tangible properties like real estate and gold to financial holdings such as stocks and bonds, all contributing to an individual or entity’s overall wealth and financial stability.
Diversifying one’s investment portfolio with a mix of assets is crucial for spreading risk and maximizing returns. By allocating funds across different asset classes, such as equities, fixed income, and alternative investments, investors can reduce the impact of market volatility on their overall wealth. Assets act as a safeguard against economic risks and uncertainties, providing a buffer against market downturns or unforeseen events. As wealth accumulation is a long-term goal for many, understanding the role assets play in building a robust financial foundation is essential.
What Are The Different Types Of Assets?
Assets come in various forms and are categorized into different types based on their nature and characteristics, providing investors with a diverse range of options to build their investment portfolios and secure their financial future.
Tangible assets are physical assets that have a distinct, measurable intrinsic value and can be held or touched, such as real estate properties, precious metals like gold and silver, jewelry, and other physical commodities.
Investors often turn to tangible assets like gold as a hedge against economic uncertainties or inflation, making them an essential component of diversified investment portfolios. The allure of gold lies in its time-tested ability to retain value over the long term, acting as a store of wealth and purchasing power.
Owning physical assets like gold comes with its challenges, including the need for secure storage facilities and protection against theft or damage. Despite these challenges, tangible assets play a crucial role in providing stability and resilience in investment strategies, offering a tangible form of asset protection and helping to preserve wealth for the future.
Intangible assets lack a physical presence but hold significant value due to their intellectual or legal rights, such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, goodwill, and brand recognition.
These non-physical assets play a crucial role in modern economies by shaping companies’ competitive advantage and market positioning. They are essential in valuation as they can represent a substantial portion of a company’s total worth.
Intangible assets are vital for asset protection, serving as a shield against competitors trying to replicate unique features. They contribute to defining an organization’s reputation, customer loyalty, and overall success in today’s knowledge-driven and highly competitive business landscape.
Financial assets represent ownership of a claim on real assets or underlying economic value, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, currencies, and other financial instruments traded in various markets.
These assets serve as a crucial component of the capital markets, facilitating the flow of funds from savers to investors. Investors analyze various characteristics of financial assets, such as risk, return potential, and correlation with other assets, to design effective investment strategies. Liquidity considerations play a key role in determining the ease of buying or selling these assets. Diversifying a portfolio with different types of financial assets can help reduce overall risk and enhance wealth accumulation over time.
Is Gold An Asset?
Gold is widely recognized as a valuable asset and investment option due to its historical significance as a precious metal with intrinsic value, serving as a store of wealth and a safe haven in times of economic uncertainty.
Its unique characteristics such as scarcity, durability, and divisibility make it a sought-after commodity for investors looking to diversify their portfolios. Gold’s value proposition lies in its ability to act as a hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations, making it an attractive option for those seeking financial security and wealth preservation. Its tangible nature provides a sense of stability in volatile market conditions, offering a buffer against market risks and enhancing portfolio resilience.
What Are The Characteristics Of Gold As An Asset?
Gold possesses distinctive characteristics that make it a sought-after asset, including its historical significance as a form of currency, its role as a store of value, and its appeal as a tangible and liquid investment option.
With its scarcity, durability, divisibility, and portability, gold stands out as a reliable form of wealth preservation throughout centuries. Its limited supply adds to its allure, as it cannot be arbitrarily created like paper money. Its resistance to corrosion and tarnishing ensures its lasting value, making it a popular choice for long-term investments. The ability to divide gold into smaller units without losing its intrinsic value enhances its usability in various transactions, further cementing its status as a versatile and enduring asset.
Store Of Value
Gold’s role as a store of value stems from its ability to retain purchasing power over time, safeguarding wealth against inflation, currency devaluation, and economic uncertainties.
Throughout history, gold has been revered for its intrinsic value and enduring worth. Its scarcity, malleability, and resistance to corrosion contribute to its status as a sought-after precious metal. Investors turn to gold as a hedge against market fluctuations and geopolitical tensions, recognizing its ability to provide stability in times of financial turmoil. In times of uncertainty, gold’s tangible nature provides a sense of security that digital assets or paper currencies cannot match.
Gold offers liquidity as an asset, with a well-established global market for trading and ownership, ensuring that investors can easily buy, sell, or trade gold assets as needed.
The liquidity aspect of gold as an investment is further enhanced by the high market demand for gold across various sectors, including jewelry, technology, and central banks. This consistent demand helps maintain the liquidity of gold investments, as there is a steady flow of buyers and sellers in the market.
The supply dynamics of gold, influenced by factors such as mining production and recycling, play a crucial role in determining its availability for trading. The trading mechanisms, such as futures contracts and physical delivery, provide investors with different avenues to engage with the gold market efficiently. The ease of converting gold holdings into cash or other financial assets adds to its appeal as a liquid investment option.
Gold plays a crucial role in portfolio diversification by reducing overall risk exposure, enhancing asset allocation strategies, and safeguarding wealth through its low correlation with traditional financial assets.
The inclusion of gold in a diversified investment portfolio can help in managing risk by acting as a hedge during times of economic uncertainty or market volatility. Gold’s intrinsic value and historical reputation as a safe haven asset make it an attractive option for investors looking to bolster their risk management tactics.
Combining gold with other asset classes, such as stocks and bonds, can help balance the overall risk profile of the portfolio and potentially improve overall returns. This diversification can lead to a more resilient and robust investment strategy that aims to enhance wealth preservation and growth over the long term.
What Are The Benefits Of Owning Gold As An Asset?
Owning gold as an asset offers numerous advantages, including serving as a hedge against inflation, providing a safe haven during economic uncertainties, and enhancing portfolio diversification strategies.
Gold ownership plays a crucial role in safeguarding wealth against the erosion caused by inflation. By holding physical gold, investors can protect the real value of their assets even as prices rise. During times of geopolitical instability or market volatility, gold often retains its value or even experiences price appreciation, thereby acting as a reliable safe haven. This stability and resilience make gold a popular choice for long-term wealth preservation, as it can help balance and strengthen a diversified investment portfolio.
Hedge Against Inflation
Gold serves as an effective hedge against inflation by maintaining its purchasing power over time, making it a valuable asset for wealth preservation during periods of economic uncertainty and rising prices.
In times when inflation erodes the value of traditional currencies, gold’s intrinsic value and limited supply help it retain its worth. Historically, during inflationary periods, gold prices have often surged as investors flock to this precious metal as a safe haven. This surge in demand drives up the price of gold, offering investors a way to protect their investments from the negative effects of inflation. As a tangible asset, gold provides a sense of security and stability in times of economic turmoil, safeguarding the real value of one’s assets.
Safe Haven Investment
Gold is considered a safe haven investment, as investors flock to this precious metal during times of economic crisis, market turbulence, geopolitical events, or when seeking financial security and stability.
It is renowned for its ability to retain value and serve as a hedge against inflation. Historically, during periods of economic downturns, gold has demonstrated resilience and maintained its allure as a store of wealth. Investors often turn to gold to diversify their portfolios and mitigate risk.
The shiny metal’s intrinsic value and limited supply contribute to its enduring appeal, especially when global uncertainties threaten the stability of traditional financial assets. Gold’s role as a safe harbor in times of crisis is firmly established in the investment world.
Gold enhances portfolio diversification by reducing risk exposure, optimizing capital appreciation potential, and providing a hedge against market volatility and economic uncertainties.
Investors recognize the significance of including gold in their investment portfolios to achieve a more balanced mix of assets. By incorporating non-correlated assets like gold, individuals can potentially lower their overall portfolio risk and increase the chances of weathering market downturns with more stability. Gold’s unique properties as a tangible asset with intrinsic value make it a valuable tool for preserving capital in times of economic turbulence. Diversifying with gold can also serve as a buffer against inflation and currency devaluation, further proving its worth in a well-rounded investment strategy.
What Are The Risks Of Owning Gold As An Asset?
While gold offers various advantages, there are risks associated with owning it as an asset, including price volatility, storage and insurance expenses, and the absence of income generation, which investors must consider.
Gold prices can fluctuate significantly due to various factors such as economic conditions, geopolitical events, and market speculation, making it a relatively volatile investment. Storing physical gold can pose challenges in terms of security, maintenance, and potential theft risks. Insurance costs for safeguarding gold holdings can also add significant expenses to one’s investment portfolio. Unlike some other assets, gold does not generate any income through dividends or interest payments, requiring investors to rely solely on capital appreciation for returns.
Gold prices exhibit volatility due to various factors such as market trends, economic indicators, investor sentiment, and geopolitical events, making it essential for investors to understand and manage price fluctuations.
Market trends play a significant role in influencing the price movements of gold. For example, during times of economic uncertainty, investors tend to flock towards gold as a safe-haven asset, driving up its price. On the other hand, periods of economic growth may lead to decreased demand for gold, causing its value to drop.
Understanding these market dynamics and staying updated on global economic indicators can help investors make informed decisions when navigating the volatile nature of gold investments.
Storage And Insurance Costs
Ownership of physical gold requires storage and insurance, incurring additional costs for investors seeking to safeguard their gold holdings against theft, damage, or loss.
When considering the storage of physical gold, individuals must prioritize security measures to protect their valuable assets effectively. Options for secure storage include personal home safes, bank safe deposit boxes, or specialized private vaults. Each option comes with its own set of pros and cons, with factors such as accessibility, confidentiality, and insurance coverage needing careful evaluation.
Insurance requirements for physical gold vary depending on the storage method chosen, with policies tailored to mitigate risks such as theft, fire, or natural disasters. Balancing these costs is crucial in optimizing investment returns and ensuring effective risk management strategies.
No Income Generation
Gold does not generate income on its own, unlike dividend-paying stocks or interest-bearing bonds, posing an opportunity cost for investors who prioritize regular income streams from their investments.
Investors seeking regular cash flows may find gold investments less appealing due to their lack of income generation. While gold can serve as a store of value or a hedge against inflation, its inability to provide a recurring stream of income can lead investors to explore other asset classes. Owning income-generating assets like dividend-paying stocks or bonds allows investors to receive periodic payments, offering a more stable source of cash flow. There are trade-offs to consider in choosing between income-generating assets and non-yielding assets like gold, as each type of investment carries its own risks and benefits.
How To Invest In Gold As An Asset?
Investors have multiple avenues to invest in gold as an asset, including physical gold, gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs), gold mining stocks, and gold futures and options, each offering distinct advantages and considerations for investors.
Physical gold ownership provides tangible possession, serving as a hedge against inflation and geopolitical uncertainties, although it may require storage and insurance costs.
On the other hand, ETF investments offer ease of trading like stocks and provide diversified exposure to gold prices.
Investing in gold mining stocks can offer leverage to gold price movements, but it also exposes investors to operational and geopolitical risks.
Trading gold futures and options can provide high liquidity and speculative opportunities, but it requires a deep understanding of the market and carries higher risk due to leverage.
Investing in physical gold involves acquiring bullion bars or coins, gold jewelry, or other tangible forms of gold, with considerations around ownership, storage, and security playing a crucial role in physical gold investments.
When looking to purchase physical gold, individuals can opt for bullion bars or coins, which are valued based on the weight and purity of the gold contained within them. Gold jewelry, while also a popular choice, may come with added design and craftsmanship factors that affect its value.
Storage options for physical gold include home safes, safety deposit boxes, or specialized storage facilities, each with its own implications for security and insurance coverage. Ensuring the safety and security of physical gold holdings is essential, as it protects against theft, damage, or loss, yet this can also add extra costs and logistical considerations to the investment process.
Gold Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)
Gold Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) offer investors a convenient way to gain exposure to gold prices without owning physical gold, providing liquidity, diversification, and market access benefits to investors seeking gold investments.
These ETFs are structured as funds that hold physical gold or derivative contracts linked to the price of gold. The beauty of gold ETFs lies in the fact that investors can buy and sell shares just like a stock, making them easily tradable throughout the trading day. By investing in gold ETFs, individuals can enjoy the benefits of owning gold without the challenges of storage and security. This indirect exposure to gold prices can help investors diversify their portfolios and manage risks more effectively.
Gold Mining Stocks
Investing in gold mining stocks involves buying shares of companies involved in gold exploration, extraction, or production, offering exposure to gold price movements and company performance in the mining sector.
As an investor in gold mining stocks, one must carefully consider the performance of individual companies, industry trends, and macroeconomic factors impacting gold prices.
The performance of gold mining stocks is often closely tied to the price of gold itself, making them a popular choice for those seeking to diversify their investment portfolio with exposure to precious metals.
It’s important to note that investing in gold mining stocks also comes with risks, including operational challenges, geopolitical uncertainties, and fluctuations in commodity prices that can affect company profits.
Gold Futures And Options
Gold futures and options contracts allow investors to speculate or hedge against gold price fluctuations by entering into derivative contracts that derive their value from underlying gold prices in the futures or options markets.
These financial instruments serve as valuable tools for managing price risk in the volatile gold market. When investors expect gold prices to rise, they may choose to go long on futures or options, aiming to profit from the anticipated price appreciation. Conversely, if they anticipate a decline in gold prices, they can take short positions to benefit from the downward movement. By utilizing gold futures and options trading, investors can diversify their portfolios and implement various investment strategies based on market trends and their risk appetite.

Analysis of Causality among Tax Revenue, State Expenditure, Inflation, and Economic Growth in Indonesia between 1973 and 2019
tax revenue, state expenditure, inflation, economic growth, VECM, granger causality testAbstract
This study aims to analyze the causality between tax revenue, state expenditure, inflation and economic growth in Indonesia during the 1973-2019 period to provide policy advice to the Indonesian government. This country was selected as an object with consideration that its economy has grown impressively and has been able to rise from the Asian economic crisis. A brief overview of the policies developed during the research period is presented to provide insight into the policies taken by the government. The use of quantitative methods through the Vector Error Correction Model and Granger causality test was carried out to provide an in-depth analysis. The result showed a positive long-term two-way causality relationship between tax revenues and state expenditures as well as tax revenues and economic growth. This indicates that the government's efforts to implement state expenditure have succeeded in increasing tax revenues. Conversely, an increase in tax revenue allows the government to make state expenditures, both in development and other activities, to improve people’s economy, leading to increased economic growth. The government must maintain an economic policy strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic to restore the national economy by considering potential sectors that are suitable for the climate, such as the agriculture or livestock sector. The result of tests on inflation show that this variable is caused by economic growth and does not apply the other way around, but this variable is has a negative effect on tax revenue, state expenditure and economic growth so its needs to be suppressed to ensure the stable economic growth. | <urn:uuid:8e892a35-5c5d-40e8-bd50-644f3cd95859> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://vpa.ktu.lt/index.php/PPA/article/view/29950 | 2024-04-18T15:04:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.959882 | 340 |

A recent study presented at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session challenges the traditional view of eggs as detrimental to heart health due to their high cholesterol content. The study suggests that fortified varieties of eggs may not pose the same risks, contrary to previous beliefs.
Eggs do not affect cholesterol levels even in high risk population
In the 1970s, the American Heart Association advised limiting egg consumption due to concerns about cholesterol content. A single egg contains approximately 186 milligrams of cholesterol, surpassing half of the daily recommended limit at the time.
Recent studies have challenged the negative perception of eggs due to their cholesterol content. Research indicates that dietary cholesterol has less effect on blood cholesterol levels compared to saturated and trans fats. In 2015, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans eliminated the recommended limit on cholesterol intake, emphasizing the importance of minimizing intake of dietary cholesterol while focusing on reducing saturated and trans fat consumption to lower the risk of heart disease.
The PROSPERITY trial, a controlled study, explores the impact of consuming fortified eggs enriched with nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and selenium on heart health markers. The study compared participants consuming 12 or more fortified eggs per week to those eating fewer than two eggs weekly over four months. Results suggest no significant differences in “good” HDL cholesterol or “bad” LDL cholesterol levels, despite all participants being at high risk for heart disease.
Fortified eggs have no effects on lipid levels
The study led by Dr. Nina Nouhravesh from the Duke Clinical Research Institute found that consuming fortified eggs over four months had no adverse effects on lipid levels, even among a high-risk population. Additionally, participants who consumed fortified eggs showed potential improvements in various heart health markers such as total cholesterol, LDL particle number, and insulin resistance scores. These findings hint at the potential cardiac benefits of consuming fortified eggs.
Despite limitations, like size and relying on self-reported data, the study highlights a new aspect in the ongoing debate on eggs, suggesting that fortified eggs may offer better heart health benefits compared to conventional ones. | <urn:uuid:ccd8d9fe-daec-4885-93b5-966fa85c580f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wallstreetviral.com/eating-fortified-eggs-is-not-risky-for-your-heart-health-study-finds/ | 2024-04-18T13:48:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.926668 | 426 |

We, humans, can’t run away from sadness. It is considered one of the basic human emotions. It is a normal response to situations that are upsetting, painful, or disappointing. The sadness can hit you anytime it wants although the life events happened in the past. It can be a difficult emotion to deal with, not only because of the pain it causes but also because of the factors that caused the sadness in the first place.
Growing up, people always thought that I was a happy person, talkative, and cheerful around people. I made jokes all the time and laughed a lot too. I still do, but I am much different now. The truth is, I have this happy personality and a really sad soul in one body. It’s weird. In the past, I was kind of using people to distract myself from what was happening in my life, but once I was alone, I struggled to find any happiness at all. I cried myself to sleep almost every night.
Looking back now, I can see how much I’ve changed. I prefer to be alone whenever sadness hits me. It’s the only way I can reset or recharge myself. Some people can pick themselves up quickly. I’m one of them. Unfortunately, some people, can’t. So, how do I deal with my sadness and be happy instead?
1. I don’t try to distract myself anymore. I accept the sadness.
Most people will tell you to go out with friends and have some fun. The problem with this solution is that it is unhealthy. You can’t ignore or suppress sad feelings. There’s no alternative: when we’re sad, we need to accept it. I use this tea trick :
2. I pampered myself.
I treat myself like I’m sick. Minimum of 24 hours to myself. I take some time off from work. I nap as much as I can. I eat whatever I want. I catch up on movies or series I’ve always wanted to watch. I do online shopping and buy whatever I want. I’ll get a body massage or go to the hair salon if I feel like it.
3. I listen to music all the time.
I can’t live a day without music. Music is my therapy. When I’ve had a rough day, music can make me feel damn good. I created a playlist on Spotify based on my mood. I will specifically listen to the sad songs playlist whenever I feel sad. Sad songs help me express my feelings. It makes me feel like I am not alone and that there are people out there who can understand my feelings. I usually make myself cry because it’s a good thing. Crying triggers your body to release oxytocin, which can help with physical pain relief and make you feel safe.
4. Being careful with whom I share my sadness with.
There are two types of people: those who will listen to you and support you mentally and physically, and those who will only listen to you with the intent of responding, judging you, and comparing you to their stories. You need to be careful with whom you share your sadness with. Whatever it is, remember that pain is not a competition. You cannot compare another person’s pain to your own. You can’t say yours is worse or better than others. Small or big, everyone’s pain is valid. As for myself, I don’t like to share much verbally. But yeah, everyone knows that I write.
A little note: If someone wants to share their sadness with you, just listen. Sometimes the best way to help is to say nothing. Give them a long, tight hug, and let them know that you will be there for them in any way they need you.
5. I don’t dwell in sadness for too long.
Most of my sadness is related to my past. I have trauma and bad memories that I could never forget. I used to allow myself to dwell on it. It is such a difficult habit to break, but I did make a lot of healthy changes because I got tired of wallowing in my negativity and sadness. People will eventually get tired of you too if you keep dwelling on the same things over and over again. This is what I do: I’ll take my time to be sad. Usually for 2-3 days (max, a week). It’s perfectly OK. I never let anyone tell me otherwise. But then. I bounce back. Pick myself up again. I focus on positive energy and listen to motivational speeches every day too.
Before I end my writing, remember that feeling sad does not mean you have depression. But if your mood starts to interfere with your life and how you function, then you may become depressed. In this case, it is important to seek help. Take care, everyone! | <urn:uuid:6d6b61b0-9887-42d5-a108-f1a0e89e4339> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wanderhoney.com/2021/02/06/how-i-deal-with-sadness-and-be-happy-instead/ | 2024-04-18T15:12:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.968595 | 1,026 |
The Shared Genius of Mahan and Corbett
Kevin D. McCranie, Mahan, Corbett, and the Foundations of Naval Strategic Thought (Naval Institute Press, 2021).
Strategists and writers examining naval affairs argue a lot: the necessary size of the fleet, its composition and design, the education or specialization of the officer corps and the sailors, and the relative integration of U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps operations are all areas of discussion, debate, and development. However, there is one thing on which it seems all naval writers and thinkers agree: Somewhere in your article, you must quote either Alfred Thayer Mahan or Julian Corbett, but you cannot quote both. Today’s naval writing and thinking casts the two founding fathers of modern naval thought as competitors, as men who have diametrically opposed ideas and who created “schools” of naval thought. As a result, you must pick one or the other as your guiding star.
Articles in the pages of the leading naval journals include titles like “Going to War with China? Ignore Corbett. Dust Off Mahan!” and “Going to War With China? Dust Off Corbett!” Even here at War on the Rocks, authors are not immune, telling us that “it may be time to demote Mahan’s masterpiece to the second rung, in favor of paying increased attention to Julian Corbett.” This conception of Mahan and Corbett, as strategists, thinkers, and writers in competition, is not only ahistorical — it is astrategic. Kevin McCranie’s masterful new book Mahan, Corbett, and the Foundations of Naval Strategic Thought attacks misperceptions, misreadings, and misunderstandings of the two men and their writing head on. He gives us a clearer understanding of their ideas and their views on strategy and naval warfare. In reality, Mahan and Corbett largely agreed with one another, and reading their work in tandem offers a single school of strategic thought, a school of maritime power.
A Fresh Look at Classical Naval Strategy
Misreadings and misinterpretations of Mahan and Corbett are as common as clear understanding today. Even experienced national security commentators get things wrong. In a recent article entitled “Mahan’s Illusory Command of the Seas,” Harlan Ullman makes several faulty assertions that can be cleared up by reading McCranie’s book. The claim that Mahan believed in the concept of a total and absolute command of the seas is a common one. But in his chapter entitled “Command of the Sea,” McCranie dives deeply into the writings of both Mahan and Corbett to determine what they meant by the phrase. While both strategists seemed to see total and absolute command as an ideal, neither really thought that it was always realistically attainable in a practical sense. Corbett was the clearest in his writing on the gradations of command, in a temporally or geographically limited reality. However, Mahan was just as suspicious of a navy’s ability to achieve total command. When today’s writers talk about Mahan, they often quote him as saying that seapower and command of the sea “is the possession of that overbearing power on the sea which drives the enemy’s flag from it,” but they often skip the very next clause in the same sentence “or allows it to appear only as a fugitive,” which suggests that Mahan did not see command as total and absolute. McCranie suggests that in reading the two men together, “command is less about control of the sea than about relative dominance.”
Each chapter of this book fires a salvo into false impressions of or caricatured teachings on the two strategists. Some of our contemporary naval commentators suggest that Corbett did not understand or account for economics enough in his writing. But McCranie shows that economics and seaborne trade were clearly on Corbett’s mind and a part of his naval thinking. Today’s naval articles often decry Mahan’s focus on “decisive” battles and hold it up as an example of how incomplete his thinking was. However, McCranie reveals that Corbett also placed fleet-on-fleet battle at the top of the naval priorities list. Additionally, Mahan did not use the word decisive in the way that we do today, using it to suggest a kind of indispensable nature rather than to indicate something that outright ended a war. The Battle of Trafalgar was decisive, in Mahan’s usage, not because the war ended in 1805 (it clearly did not) but because Adm. Horatio Nelson’s victory resulted in general command of the sea for Great Britain that ensured eventual victory. Trafalgar allowed for the necessary and secure seaborne logistical support of the Peninsular War and the strangling of the continent’s economy, and thus Mahan saw sea power as the decisive element that led to Napoleon’s downfall. Despite this, Mahan himself wrote that the sinking of ships and winning of sea battles “is itself only a means, not an end, and the two cannot be confounded.”
McCranie dove deep into the documentary record, perhaps deeper than anyone before. He tackled the published work of the two men, which is a daunting task in itself with over 40 books and several hundred articles and essays between them. He also mined Mahan’s voluminous correspondence and Corbett’s nearly daily diary entries to deepen his understanding of their arguments and how they explained them. Many writers have a tendency to rely on favorite quotes from either of the men, or a reading of one or two sources from them. McCranie tackles the question of the relationship between Mahan and Corbett, however, not only in width but in the deepest depth. The result is that when a section of published writing introduces the potential for confusion (more often the case in Mahan’s writing than Corbett’s), McCranie has multiple resources for finding clarifications, rather than simply relying on his own analysis or supposition.
After studying each strategist’s views of the uses of history and theory, the comparisons of offense and defense, the relative importance and value of concentration, sea denial, and joint expeditionary warfare, McCranie repeatedly comes to a parallel conclusion. He tells the reader that “similarities dominate when Corbett’s naval strategy is compared with Mahan’s. Though the two often took different routes to their determinations, their theories are not polar opposites; rather they differ by degree.” The two men build on one another, clarify the ideas behind naval strategy, and add nuance to maritime thinking. “Arguably,” he tells us, “Mahan’s work was a necessary prerequisite to Corbett’s.” Much of Mahan’s work came first, and Corbett had the opportunity to read it and digest the ideas before putting his own pen to paper. Many of the foundational ideas that Mahan expressed, but did not always provide clear detail for or develop analytically, Corbett returned to and fleshed out in more depth. The two men clearly had their differences and occasional disagreements, but when compared to their agreements and the grand scheme of their thinking on sea power these differences added nuance and offer today’s readers curious questions to ponder rather than shaping the two men as counters to one another.
The Danger of Competing Schools
Mahan abhorred doctrinaire approaches to naval strategy. He insisted that strategy was an art, not a science, where deviations from the rules were what made genius. Corbett wrote that, despite the effort that he and Mahan made at deriving principles of naval strategy, “every case will assuredly depart from the normal to a greater or lesser extent, and it is equally certain that the greatest successes in war have been the boldest departures from the normal.” And this is why breaking “Mahanian thought” or “Corbettian strategy” into competing schools is so dangerous.
When today’s war college and staff college instructors, or naval writers and modern maritime strategists, leave students and readers with the idea that they have to pick and either follow Mahan or follow Corbett, they reduce the thinking element of naval strategy. Naval culture is dominated by the technological mindset and engineering-based thinking, what is often called the material school by historians. This looks for procedures, doctrines, and set methods that can be duplicated in the face of naval challenges. Casting Mahan or Corbett as the progenitors of schools with doctrines to be followed in lock step makes them seem more approachable to this way of thinking, but fundamentally reduces the value of their work and eliminates the very thing that they both insisted on: critical thinking and looking for the right moment to deviate from set procedure or doctrine. Neither man tolerated dogma or maxims. In their wide writings they suggest that we have to understand doctrine not because we should be following it, but because we need to be creative enough to know when to violate it.
Instead of a competition, we need to be reading what Mahan and Corbett wrote as complementary. These are the two sides of the coin of maritime power. The places in which they disagree, or where their analysis leads them to focus on different ways of looking at a similar question, are places to pay special attention. This is not because we should always pick one side or the other, but because these differences offer today’s strategist a place to pick their head up out of the book and look around. A chance to consider the details of our own time, the specifics and geopolitics of our contemporary challenges, and the changes to the character of war created by modern weapons or technologies, and thus to make a strategic decision based in the present rather than one bound tightly with one or another of the naval thinkers of the past. While both Corbett and Mahan wrote on naval strategy, and offered up theories and principles, both men were also naval educators. More than anything else, their aim was to create thinking, critical, informed decision-makers who could operate in their present and make sound military and maritime conclusions in their contemporary world.
The Foundations of Naval Genius
Mahan, Corbett, and the Foundations of Naval Strategic Thought is not the end of the discussion on Mahan and Corbett. McCranie has written an excellent examination of the two men, their work, and how they viewed naval strategy. His focus on developing a “way of war” for each of the historian-strategists, however, has left a part of their writing and thinking behind. Both men wrote on naval professionalism, naval organization, and command in addition to wartime strategy. Mahan, in particular, wrote a great deal on international relations and what today we would call “grand strategy,” in books like The Problem of Asia and Its Effect Upon International Politics and essays collected in The Interest of America in Sea Power, Present and Future. This work resulted in the historian Jon Sumida crediting him with “inventing grand strategy.” But those elements of their writings were not the purpose of McCranie’s book and pointing out other areas for examination does nothing to take away from what he has accomplished. His book should become the starting point for all discussion of Mahan and Corbett, and especially for comparisons between the two, in the future.
In his recent article “Classic Works on Sea Power Have Enduring Value,” John Maurer made the case that, despite being a century old and from an earlier technological era, “both authors belong on the reading list of those who consider themselves strategic leaders.” Mahan and Corbett without a doubt provide the “foundations” of naval strategic thought. Combined with the writings of the men themselves, and a few other books like Sumida’s Inventing Grand Strategy and Teaching Command and Andrew Lambert’s 21st Century Corbett: Maritime Strategy and Naval Policy for the Modern Era, McCranie’s work can launch current and future naval leaders toward the mastery of the principles of naval strategy and the genius to know when to break the rules. Reinforcing the value of critical thinking, an understanding of history, and an appreciation of the use and abuse of theory in naval affairs, comprehending the depth and breadth of the work of the two great naval historian-strategists will continue to prepare naval strategists for the present and the future.

Purple Finches are regular if erratic visitors to our feeders. The gorgeous males with their deep red breasts and heads can only be confused with male House Finches. A male House Finch has brown streakings on the flanks with less extensive red (more reddish-orange) on its head.
Female Purple Finches are mostly brown and white. The breast has dark streaks. A bold white stripe lies just above the eye; this white supercilium is absent in female House Finches.
Have you noticed that male Purple Finches are usually outnumbered by females at your feeder? Not so fast. First-year males are dead ringers for female Purple Finches. You really have to have them in hand to tell them apart by examining the wear of the primary coverts and the shape of the tips of the outer tail feathers. Some of those streaked Purple Finches at your feeder are first-year males.
Purple Finches belong to the suite of irruptive finches popularly called the northern finches. Purple Finches breed across the northern tier of the U.S. from Maine to Minnesota and across the southern tier of the Canadian provinces. A breeding population also occurs west of the Cascades and Sierra Nevada from California to British Columbia.
Strong southerly irruptions occur every other year in this species. These biennial irruptions are thought to be driven by variation in the production of cone crops of the conifers on which the Purple Finches depend.
To gain some insight into these movements of Purple Finches, my wife Bets Brown and I analyzed all of the banding data on Purple Finches from the Bird Banding Laboratory over the period of 1921 until 2008. Over 745,000 finches were banded over this period and almost 20,000 of those banded birds were subsequently recaptured (or in a few cases, found dead).
We were particularly interested in three questions. During irruptions, do birds from one area like New England move straight south or do they spread across the continent (Purple Finches can be found throughout North America)? Do Purple Finches show fidelity to breeding sites? Do Purple Finches show fidelity to wintering sites?
The analysis of banding data presents many challenges. Banding effort is never constant either across space or time. Most of the banding records come from the period 1960-1985. Banding effort varies greatly among states and provinces. Nevertheless, some general patterns can be discerned.
Birds banded in VT, NH and ME were re-encountered broadly but mostly in the eastern United States, curling eastward through the Gulf Coast states. A few reached Texas and modest numbers occurred in MI, ONT, WI and MN. A similar pattern emerged for birds originally banded in NY.
We also analyzed birds first banded in PA, NJ and NC. These areas are south of the breeding range and were banded in the winter. Re-encounters of these birds occurred mostly in the the New England and the eastern provinces. The re-encounters are consistent with the data from birds originally banded in New England.
Moving to to the Midwest, birds originally banded in MI, WI and MN also were re-encountered broadly but most irruptions were due south.
Only 275 Purple Finches banded in the Pacific states or BC were re-encountered. However, a consistent pattern was that those birds migrate west of the Cascades and Sierra Nevada.
We did find some evidence of breeding site fidelity across as many as five years. Some wintering site fidelity was evident as well over periods of one to six years. Uneven banding efforts prevent us from knowing how prevalent such fidelity is.
I’ll end with the most impressive distance between captures. A Purple Finch banded in Maine in 1966 was subsequently captured two years later in Texas, a distance of 1792 miles.

The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has emerged as a game-changer in the constantly changing world of digital transactions, transforming the way we manage money transfers. The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), which created UPI, is well known for its ease of use, quickness, and convenience. The principles of UPI payments will be covered in this essay, along with the mechanisms, costs, and cutting-edge idea of offline UPI payments.
How UPI operates
UPI is fundamentally a mobile platform that streamlines the process of transferring money across bank accounts. Users establish a virtual payment address (VPA) by connecting their bank accounts to a mobile app that supports UPI. By serving as a distinctive identifier, this VPA replaces the need for lengthy bank data during transactions. Users simply need the recipient’s VPA to send money.
Through the UPI app, a payment request is started, and the payer is then prompted to enter a secure PIN. The money is promptly moved across the connected bank accounts when it has been validated. The use of conventional techniques like NEFT and RTGS has greatly decreased because of this easy methodology.
Knowledge of UPI Payment Limits
The predetermined restrictions established by banks are a vital component of UPI transactions. These restrictions operate as a security mechanism to stop large-scale, unapproved transactions. Users should be aware of their bank’s unique constraints, as the UPI payment limit differs from bank to bank.
The majority of banks impose a daily cap on UPI transactions, which usually ranges between INR 1 lakh and INR 2 lakh. The total number of transactions permitted each day could also be restricted. Users who want to understand and abide by these constraints should speak with their individual banks.
Investigating UPI payment fees
Although UPI transactions are popular because of their quickness and ease, it’s important to understand the costs involved.
Many banks already provide UPI transactions to customers at no cost. However, some transactions, such as cross-bank transfers or those that exceed the predetermined limit, could be subject to fees. To avoid any unpleasant shocks, users should review the UPI transaction fees set forth by their bank.
It’s important to note that UPI payment charges fees might vary, so customers should be informed of their bank’s regulations. Some banks could charge an extra fee for premium services with increased features.
Offline UPI Payments: A Modern Wonder
Historically, UPI transactions needed to be connected to the internet. However, users may now conduct transactions even in places with bad or no internet, thanks to the introduction of offline UPI payments.
QR codes are used to ease transactions for offline UPI payments. The recipient uses an app that supports UPI to scan a QR code that the payer creates with the payment information. When the payer’s app reconnects to the internet, the QR code’s safe storage of the transaction data enables a smooth transfer of funds.
This function is particularly useful in rural locations where internet access may be patchy. It makes sure that people in these areas may still access digital transactions and take advantage of their convenience without being constrained by network problems.
Other UPI Payment Methods Than Transfers
Although peer-to-peer financial transfers are UPI’s primary association, the technology’s application goes beyond straightforward transactions.
UPI has gained the support of retailers and service providers as a method of payment acceptance. Many companies now accept UPI as a mode of payment, from tiny local sellers to huge e-commerce platforms. The simplicity of use and rising customer preference for digital transactions are the trends driving this one.
UPI has also cleared the path for innovations like bill splitting, recurring payments, and integration with other financial services. The UPI network now allows users to effortlessly pay utility bills, subscribe to services, and even participate in mutual funds.
The way we manage financial transactions has clearly changed as a result of the unified payment interface. The flexibility and creativity in the digital payment field are highlighted by its user-friendly design and the ongoing development of features like offline UPI payments.
It is important to be aware of the related constraints and fees as consumers continue to utilize UPI for its convenience. People may fully exploit this cutting-edge payment system by grasping the fundamentals and investigating the various ways in which UPI can be used. UPI is a gateway to a financial future that is more smooth, effective, and linked than merely a way to move money. | <urn:uuid:4f086f43-cc66-40e7-9bf6-485266c8fec9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://webauramedia.com/understanding-upi-payments-the-basics-and-beyond/ | 2024-04-18T13:11:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.95115 | 937 |
“You wake up 25 years GM has gone electric, Dylans gone public, a phone is a camera. Coffee, five bucks a cup!, And the stones bless their heart they are still on tour.”
Is Stallone’s first scripted television series getting the Highest rating? Not a little bit surprising. Tulsa King is a Volatile thriller series which has created history by starring Stallone as the main lead. However, the other cast is also amazing but we can’t forget our Rocky! Now that I’m done fangirling, we can move to another serious matter, which would be Winter stepping down from the showrunner title. He did say there were some creative differences. However, could these differences affect the Tulsa King Season 2 plotline? We aren’t sure since his replacement hasn’t been found yet.
So right now, We are free to focus on the expected release date for the second installment, which, I must add, fans are going crazy about! So let’s get started!
Is Tulsa King Season 2 renewed or canceled?
Before we start digging further to find out our answers, let’s take a moment to appreciate the crew who made the series possible. All thanks to Taylor Sheridan for creating the series. Also, to Paramount+, who put their faith in the series and gave it an international platform. Let’s not forget the amazing cast members who made their characters memorable! Now getting back to our main topic, Tulsa King Season 2 renewal status.
View this post on Instagram
It’s not surprising that the series got renewed between the release of the first season. To be precious, Tulsa King Season 2 got renewed on November 30, 2022, after the third episode got out. That’s neither the latest news nor a surprising one. With the given popularity of the show ( let’s not forget the main lead is an iconic celeb), it was bound to happen. However, fans’ curiosity is related to the expected release date rather than renewal status. Who are we to come in between fans and their curiosity? Let’s see what we got!
When can we expect Tulsa King Season 2 to arrive?
Before declaring our predicted release date, let’s take a look at the history of the series. It was announced in December 2021, and after a long waiting period, the first episode got out on November 13, 2022. Every Sunday, we were gifted with the latest episode on Paramount+ until the finale got out on January 8, 2023. Now fans are waiting for second-season updates, but the production house has got none.
The truth is the ongoing strikes in the Hollywood entertainment industry have taken all the focus of production houses. The stress and revolt are to the extent that several scripted series have gotten canceled while a few are delayed. If this wasn’t enough, fans are also demanding answers and early release of their favorite series. Some are forgetting that we are the lucky ones whose series haven’t gotten canceled. Since Tulsa King is a scripted show, not a single word for the second season has been written.
Stallone also supports the strikes as he believes it’s their right. Don’t believe us? At least have some faith in the lead actor, Stallone’s words, which he exchanged in an interview with Newsletter, “It’s definitely affecting work because we can’t move forward with a lot of projects, especially Tulsa King. But I think it’s changed so much that the writers do have a serious gripe. They’re in a grievance that it’s changed. There’s not enough work to keep all these writers going and then they’re living under this cloud of AI. It’s a very terrifying time to be a writer.”
Now that we know, we as fans can be patient with it so that the matters get resolved soon. Now regarding our predicted release date, we believe we won’t be watching the second season anytime before the second half of 2024.
The show is already quite popular, with 8/10 IMDb ratings and a 79% Rotten Tomatoes Rating. Let’s note that The Times of India has given a 3.5 rating out of 5 to the show, and the series is liked by 92% of viewers. Call it the magic of the plot or Sylvester Stallone. All we know is Tulsa King Season 2 might be delayed, but it’s not canceled!

A stud welder is a machine that joins a metal stud to a metal workpiece using an electric arc. This process is known as stud welding. Stud welding is a fast and efficient way to join metal components, and is often used in construction and manufacturing applications.
Stud welders typically have two main components: the power supply and the welding head. The power supply provides the electricity necessary to create the electric arc, while the welding head is responsible for holding the stud in place and controlling the arc.
Stud welders can be used to join a variety of studs and workpieces, and are available in a range of sizes and power levels to suit different applications.
- There are two main types of stud welding: drawn arc and capacitor discharge. In drawn arc stud welding, an electric arc is used to heat both the metal object and the fastener. The fastener acts as an electrode, allowing it to melt and join to a flat plate on the metal object.
- No, stud welding does not require filler metal.
- The voltage necessary to produce an arc welded stud can range from 110 volts to 480 volts, depending on the power supply involved in the application.
- A stud welding machine is a machine that uses an electric arc to quickly join a fastener to a metal base or substrate.
- Stud welding is superior to other welding methods as it doesn’t require a hole to be made in the metal sheet. This means that the material is not weakened and there is no room for leakage or corrosion.
Types Of Stud Welding
In capacitor discharge stud welding, an electrical current is used to create a plasma arc between the fastener and the workpiece. This process is often used for welding smaller fasteners, as it is more precise than drawn arc welding.
Does Stud Welding Require Filler Metal?
The process of stud welding is a fast and efficient way to join studs to a variety of flat workpieces. The process uses an arc to weld the stud to the workpiece, resulting in a strong and secure joint that doesn’t require any filler metal. This makes stud welding an ideal choice for a variety of applications where speed and efficiency are important.
What Voltage Is A Stud Welder?
The voltage necessary to produce an Arc Welded Stud can range from 110 volts to 480 volts, depending on the power supply involved in the application. A stud welder is a tool that uses electricity to fuse two pieces of metal together. The welder uses an electrode to create an electrical arc between the two pieces of metal. The heat from the arc melts the metal, and the welder can then fuse the two pieces together.
What Is Stud Welding Machine?
Stud welding machines are used to join metal fasteners to a substrate using an electric arc. The machines are designed to create a strong, durable weld that can withstand high loads. The process is quick and efficient, and can be used on a variety of different materials.
Stud welding machines can be used to weld a variety of different fasteners, including threaded and unthreaded types. The fasteners can be made from a variety of different metals, including steel, aluminum, and brass. The machines can also be used to weld a variety of different shapes, including countersunk, flush, and beveled.
The stud welding process is quick and efficient, and produces a strong, durable weld. The process is ideal for use in a variety of applications, including automotive, construction, and manufacturing.
What Is An Advantage To Stud Welding Vs Other Welding Processes?
There are many advantages to stud welding over other welding processes. One key advantage is that stud welding does not require a hole to be made in the metal sheet. This means that the material is not weakened and there is no room for leakage or corrosion.
Another advantage of stud welding is that it is a very fast process. This is due to the fact that the studs are much smaller than the metal sheets that they are being welded to. This means that less heat is required to weld the studs in place.
Finally, stud welding is a very versatile process. It can be used to weld a wide variety of materials, including aluminum, stainless steel, and even plastics. This makes it a great choice for a wide range of applications.
Stud Welding Disadvantages
While stud welding has a few disadvantages, it is still an effective way to weld smaller components onto a work piece. One of the main disadvantages of stud welding is that it can only be used to weld smaller components. This is because the component must be able to be rotated at high speed in order for the weld to be effective. Additionally, stud welding can be less precise than other welding methods, so it is important to make sure that the component is properly aligned before welding.
Is Stud Welding Hard?
Welding is a process of joining two pieces of metal together by heating them until they melt and then fusing them together. There are many different welding processes, but stud welding is one of the most popular, especially for industrial applications.
But is stud welding hard? No, it’s actually quite easy. In fact, it’s easier than resistance welding because it only requires one step. To connect your two metals together, all you need is a few weld studs and your equipment.
So if you’re looking for an easy way to weld two pieces of metal together, stud welding is a great option. It’s quick, easy, and requires no special skills or training.
How Strong Is Stud Welding?
If you’re in the market for a stud welder, you’re probably wondering how strong of a weld you can expect from this type of equipment. The answer is that stud welding can produce very strong, one-sided welds on base metals with thicknesses starting at 0.048″. This means that you can weld metal fasteners in as little as 0.06 seconds.
To create the weld, stud welding uses a DC power supply to create the arc. A stud welding tool is then used to complete the weld. In some cases, ferrules may also be used. This type of welding is very versatile and can be used on a variety of materials.
If you’re looking for a strong and durable weld, stud welding is a great option.
How Hot Does Stud Welding Get?
As anyone who has ever welded knows, heat is a crucial part of the process. But how hot does stud welding actually get?
Upon triggering, the studs are held in the welding gun at a pre-set height above the parent material whilst a pilot-arc is struck. This is followed by the main arc which generates heat of over 1400 degrees so that the weld end of the stud starts to become molten and a molten pool forms on the plate.
At these temperatures, the stud welding process is able to create a strong, permanent bond between the stud and the parent material. This is why stud welding is used in a wide variety of applications, from construction to automotive manufacturing.
So next time you see a stud weld, remember that it was created at temperatures hot enough to melt metal!
Can You Stud Weld With A Mig Welder?
If you’re wondering whether you can stud weld with a MIG welder, the answer is yes! By using a MIG stud welding kit, you can weld the draw pins onto the surface of a dent or pull crease. You can then use the slide puller to pull the pins outward. This is a great way to repair dents and creases without having to replace the entire panel.
In conclusion, a stud welder is a great way to quickly and easily join two pieces of metal together. It’s a fast, efficient, and strong way to join metal components, making it ideal for construction and manufacturing applications. | <urn:uuid:abbcae7c-4e54-431b-9675-2e033dfda531> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://weldingresource.com/what-is-a-stud-welder/ | 2024-04-18T15:22:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.914455 | 1,627 |

Highlights! Lombard DQ’d For Illegal KO Of Dollaway At UFC 222
Sunday, March 4, 2018 - 04:33
The FOX Sports 1 preliminary card did not start off on the right foot earlier tonight (Sat., Mar. 3, 2018) at UFC 222 from inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, as middleweight Hector Lombard was disqualified for knocking C.B. Dollaway out after the bell sounded for the end of the very first round.
Both fighters exchanged early and landed good shots. Lombard stayed in the middle of the Octagon and was looking for a one-shot kill the entire time. As the first round was coming to an end, Lombard launched a devastating combination. Unfortunately, the bell had already sounded before the Cuban veteran landed two huge punches that put Dollaway out. After Dollaway struggled to understand what happened and was stumbling around the Octagon, the fight was called and Lombard was disqualified for illegal punches.
Check out the late knockout above courtesy of UFC.
This is not the way either fighter wanted to end their night. Dollaway does walk away with the win, but it’s not a performance he could really build off of in the 185-pound division. As for Lombard, who clearly landed his best shots when the clocked already elapsed, he has yet to capture a victory since a decision win over Jake Shields in 2014.

The parent is the provider – the provider of food, shelter, love and safety.
All parents want to provide the right food to help their children stay healthy and reach their full physical and mental potential – and we are here to help you do that.
Dr Debmita Dutta MBBS, MD from What Parents Ask has joined forces with Simran Oberoi Multani from Ovenderful to design weekly menus for your family that will be easy to make and fulfill the nutrition needs of the whole family.
Food is much more than nutrition. Food connects us – that is why we like to eat together. Food is an emotional balm – that is why we love some foods and turn to them when we are happy and find comfort in some foods and turn to them when we are sad. And we understand that.
We understand that every family eats differently and that every family cooks differently and we realize that a standard diet cannot work.
So we are offering to help you modify what you eat every day.
This is what we will do –
- We will look at what you are already eating and analyse how it is deficient
- We will add-on certain elements that will make your existing menu healthier
- We will suggest what you can do to make your menu more interesting without compromising on nutrition and without spending hours in the kitchen.
- We will ensure that we make the preparation of the meals that we suggest – easier than what you are already used to doing. The aim is to help you finish cooking in about an hour every day.
- We will help you with exhaustive ingredient lists and efficient kitchen workflows that will make life very easy for you.
Connect with us today!!

Key Difference – Charity vs Social Justice
Charity and Social Justice can be considered as two approaches between which a key difference can be identified. Charity refers to helping people who need assistance. Social justice is the promotion of justice in the society. The key difference between the two is that while charity embraces an individualist approach, social justice uses a much more structural approach. Through this article let us examine the difference between charity and social justice further.
What is Charity?
Charity refers to helping people in need. A charitable person is a generous person who is ready to help those in need. In the world today, there are so many people in need of assistance. In the media, we often hear of so much of poverty, hunger and various forms of deprivation that people undergo on a daily basis. In such situations, helping people by providing them with whatever we have is considered as charity. This does not always have to be money; it can be food, clothing, etc.
In most societies, charity is considered as a good quality. However, one has to keep in mind that when helping others it is wrong to be condescending and sympathetic to others. All people prefer to be treated with dignity and respect, even when helping others, it is vital to bear this in mind.
Charities refer to organizations that help people who are in need. In different countries, there are a large number of charities that aim to assist different social groups. Some aim at helping orphans while others aim at helping female-headed households. Likewise, there is a lot of variety in charities.
What is Social Justice?
Social justice refers to the promotion of justice in the society. This focuses on eradicating the inequalities that lie at the heart of the society. Social justice is creating a society where there is equality, solidarity, and human rights. It pays attention to the structural difference that creates inequality and social stratification in the society.
When engaging in a comparison between charity and social justice, the charity aims at helping the individual. This is an individualistic approach. Social justice looks at the underlying social structure that creates inequalities and tries to remedy the situation. Unlike charity, social justice is much more difficult to achieve as it goes against most of the well-established social conventions and structural components.
This can be understood through an example. Charity is helping a person who is considered as poor. Social Justice is looking at the conditions that make the individual poor and attempting to fix this issue of poverty.

Case 03: Smart Trash Can
Most of the trash cans sit on the roadside are designed by throwing in the trash from the side part without lids, the bad smell are easily to get especially in hot summer days, and there are some cans with lids but require us to open it by hands, which may easily get virus and dirt attached to our body. Therefore, we could design a smart trash can to open the lids by itself while there are people appraching and close when they are leaving.
Detect if there are humans approaching with the sonar:bit, program to open the lid automatically when people come and to close when they leave.
Connect the sonar:bit to P1, the servo to P2 on IoT:bit.
Click "Advanced" in the MakeCode to see more choices.
For programming, we need to add a package: click "Extensions" at the bottom of the MakeCode drawer and search with "iot-environment-kit" in the dialogue box to download it.
For programming, we need to add a package: click "Extensions" at the bottom of the MakeCode drawer and search with "servo" in the dialogue box to download it.
Save the returned ultrasonic distance value as the variable “ultrasonic_distance”.
Detect if there are people near the trash cans through the sonar:bit(note the detection range is 4~400cm), if the object is not in this scope, the returned value would be 0, therefore, here we need to define both of the minum and maxium value.
If the varible value is in the scope, it means there are people approching the cans, program to turn on the servo and open the lid, or it closes.
- If there are people approching the cans, the lid would be opened automatically or it closes. | <urn:uuid:f3f501d6-e586-4e4a-b6c1-5090624650f5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wiki.elecfreaks.com/en/microbit/wisdom-life/microbit-smart-city-kit/microbit-Smart-City-Kit-case-03/ | 2024-04-18T14:34:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.917414 | 389 |

Preparing the Vineyards
Vineyards in the Northern Hemisphere are currently going through a rest. Grapes in 203 were harvested and leaves have fallen off the vines, making vineyards look like they are sleeping. The vines’ long canes have buds for this spring’s bud break of leaves. Established vines have long tap roots, some over 25-feet deep. The younger vines are inching their roots down into the soil, providing water, nutrients, and minerals for the vines. These younger vines are manipulated in the vineyards to focus on establishing a strong roof system. Young grape vine’s flowers and grapes are manually removed so these young vines can concentrate their energy into establishing a strong root system and hence foundation for the individual vines. Normally, vineyard managers wait three years before harvesting fruit from the young vines in order to establish strong root foundations. These grape vine root systems are the basis for establishing vines that can produce quality fruit.
The first four months of each year is when vineyards normally focus on pruning. In cold weather areas like the Texas High Plains and New York State. Pruning is delayed as long as possible. If bud break occurs too early in these cold temperature areas, then a rough pruning leaving cane lengths of over a foot will delay the continuing of the bud break. Canes are one year growths off the older main trunks of the grape vine. Along the Gulf Coast Region, vines are normally pruned in January and February with bud break occurring in late February and early March. In other areas, vines are trimmed in March and April, and sometimes as late as May due to cold weather conditions. Vines are trimmed primarily to limit the production of fruit and to train the vines to grow on a trellis system for easy harvesting. Vineyard managers normally limit the amount of fruit that is produced on each vine based on the grape varietal, vine age, location, and prior year’s harvest. The vineyard manager wants quality fruit on his vines to provide the winemakers to produce quality wines. The age and condition of the root system is important in making this decision since the root system is the basis for establishing the limits of how much fruit is produced. The root system will support only a certain number of pounds of grapes per vine in order to produce quality grapes. If you exceed that limit, the roots will have to distribute its resources over more grapes, hence reducing the essences of the vines to each grape bunch. Normally, a grape bunch develops opposite each leaf bud. The portion of the grape vine growing vertically out of the ground is called a trunk. When the trunk reaches a certain height which is normally chest high, the vines than have limbs which branch off to the side which are called arms. Many vineyard managers want no more than four to six shoots off each arm of the grape vine and four to six buds per shoot. Some grape vines are trained to have only one arm off its main trunk while other vines have one, sometimes two arms. This decision on pruning is based on the vineyard manager’s decisions in how he wants his grape crop to evolve. A quality grape crop will get more dollars per ton of grapes vs. grapes of an average quality. A vineyard manager always wants more grape bunches on his vines so his vineyard workers can selectively retain the good bunches of grapes and snip off the bad bunches of grapes as the grape bunches mature. This selectivity is based on the vineyard manager’s decisions and the availability of vineyard workers.
Several local vineyards like Bernhardt, Haak and Wild Stallion host pruning seminars and allow visitors to do pruning after going through the seminar. This is an opportunity to harvest grape canes to make wreaths or to start new vines. Most wineries will reward you with the cuttings from the vine pruning. New grape vines can be started from these cuttings by taking a healthy cutting with at least seven buds, dipping the “bottom end” into a root hormone product like Root Tone, and then sticking that end into soil. Make sure the buds on that shoot are facing upwards or that vine is not going to root. You can put 20 to 30 of these vines in soils in a gallon pot.
If you want this pruning experience, try Wild Stallion Vineyards on Saturday, February 10 starting at 8am. The Vineyards are located in Harris County on West Rayford Road, west of Gosling. You need to make a reservation on their website at www.WildStallionVineyards.com. I hope to see you there. | <urn:uuid:76d9fd5a-99f3-48a7-8921-5a1b818ac8a6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://winewalkonline.com/preparing-the-vineyards-2/ | 2024-04-18T12:56:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.960752 | 949 |
Unofficial report about the September 12, 2013 hearing for a zoning change before the South Valley Planning Commission.
About forty neighbors that live near 20840 Sherman Way (SE corner of Sherman Way and Mason) showed up for the hearing, as well as the Applicant for the zoning change, name the developers and their attorney, Mr. Kaplan. At first, Mr. Kaplan proposed a continuance for 2 weeks to the Commissioners, saying that he had mentioned this at the WNC meeting 2 days prior. WNC Board members are not sure that this was communicated. As there was present such a large number of concerned stakeholders, the Commissioners granted them a 5-minute recess in which to step out in the hall, and take a vote on whether to have the hearing now, or in 2 weeks. The stakeholders voted to have the hearing today (9/12/13), to move forward, as many had taken time off of work to attend and might not be able to do so in two more weeks.
So the hearing proceeded, meaning that the Commissioners would hear both sides, giving them 10 minutes each, then give any who had filled out speaker cards 2 minutes each; then rebuttals by each side; then a statement from Cesar Diaz, representing our new Councilman, Bob Blumenfield.
First, Attorney Kaplan spoke for the Applicant (the developer) and presented their project, changed even from the WNC meeting two days prior: it remained 2 levels of parking and 3 stories of apartments, with 69 parking spaces, but had reduced from 39 apartment units to 32 apartment units.
Speaking for the stakeholders was Ben Stormer who presented the concerns of the neighboring stakeholders: density, height, crime, traffic problems, parking problems, not consistent with the neighborhood, etc.
Then the moderating Commissioner, Gordon Murley, called names of those who had filled out speaker cards, and each person was given 2 minutes. About 30 people spoke, WNC Board Member Bettie Ross spoke about there not being any curb cut-outs for cars queuing up to enter the building, and how that was probably impossible on the Sherman Way side due to the bus stop. She also reminded the Commissioners that this was merely a gas station lot; and quoted from the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce booklet about the history of Winnetka, how Sherman Way was once the “most beautiful boulevard in the world”, and that this should be preserved.
During the time when people were speaking, the moderator said that they were well aware of what we do NOT want, but what is it that the stakeholders DO want; to please let them know. It became evident that what is wanted is for the lot to remain two-story commercial, or be changed to a two-story apartment, not a three-story building.
There were short closing statements/rebuttals by both Attorney Kaplan and by Ben Stormer. Then Cesar Diaz of Bob Blumenfield’s office spoke, saying that as the project is currently designed, Councilman Blumenfield does not support the project as it is inconsistent with the neighborhood, among other reasons.
The Commissioners then closed the hearing for any testimony, and proceeded to openly discuss the matter between themselves, and with their three staff assistants. As there were only three Commissioners (one is on a leave of absence, one is recused from this matter), any decision would have to be unanimous. And unanimously they voted to not change the zoning so as to permit the apartment building.
The lot is currently zoned for two-story commercial use, same as the other 3 corners of Sherman Way and Mason. The Applicant can appeal the case, and it would appeal to the L.A. City Council, not to the Planning Commission. | <urn:uuid:db01dcb8-bf61-4d92-ba96-05afeb7b0122> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://winnetkanc.com/news-hearing-about-20840-sherman-way/ | 2024-04-18T13:18:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.983867 | 763 |
As the song says, "Breaking up is hard to do." Finding closure after the end of a relationship is often harder. "Closure" is a psychological term that means closing the door on something or someone.
A closure means that you leave the past in the past rather than dragging it out into the present again. In relationships, this means learning how to let go of that relationship and move on to another relationship, possibly a more reliable one. There are many ways of putting closure on a relationship. In fact, it will depend entirely on your personality and your particular situation. Here are some tips on how to put closure on a relationship that has ended.
1Accept That The Relationship Is Over
Declare out loud to a close friend that you accept that the relationship is over. Choose someone who will support you. It should be a friend who will help you stay focused on the present and future rather than dwelling on the past.
2Let Go Of The Person
Call the person you're letting go of and release them. Acknowledge that you still have feelings for them but that the relationship isn't healthy, and they're free. If it's too painful to talk with them, write them a note.
3Refocus On Yourself
You may have let your own interests slide while you were involved in your previous relationship. Now's the time to shift your focus back to yourself. Give attention to what you want to do.
4Find A New Hobby
Find a new hobby or activity to replace the time with your ex. If you always go out on Friday nights, invite some friends over instead and watch movies. You could also volunteer for a worthwhile charity.
5Call A Friend
When you start thinking about your ex, call a friend. Let that friend bolster your resolve. Ask him to restate your reasons for letting your ex go.
6Create A Mantra That Helps You Refocus
"I am strong, and I am over him" could be all you need to say, but it can be something more detailed like, "I'm a wonderful person who is worthy of love, respect, and happiness." Keep telling yourself this mantra, and before long, you'll start believing it. You'll also begin to act differently as well.
7Remove Things That Remind You Of Your Ex
At some point in the future, you'll be strong enough to look at these things with fondness rather than being tugged back to the past. Take him off your speed dial, and remove the photos of the two of you. Box up the gifts that they gave you.
8Take Care Of Yourself
Eat better, take up a new exercise, and get plenty of rest. Hydration is important, too. So be sure that you drink plenty of water.
9Don't Hold It In
If you're feeling particularly sad over the breakup, don't hold it in. It's natural for you to feel upset about the end of the relationship. Go ahead and cry. You may even want to write in a journal how you feel so you can get the feelings out rather than holding them in.
10Figure Out What Went Wrong
Reflect on what went wrong in your relationship after you've distanced yourself from it for a while. If there were things that you did that could've damaged the relationship, admit them. Try to determine the red flags that signaled that the relationship was ending. Decide to avoid similar mistakes in future relationships.
If you didn't want the relationship to end, you might be tempted to leave the door open, hoping to rekindle that lost love. It may be difficult to find closure. But the emotional price of holding out hope can be costly.
For your health and peace of mind, learn to let the relationship end. Let go of the past. Close the door. Walk into a better future.

Instagram hashtags are significant when it comes to digital marketing. They are like traffic signs that lead people to your Instagram profile. The question we seek to answer is why?
A hashtag is a word or keyword phrase preceded by a hash (#). Here is just a snippet on the value of Instagram hashtags:
- They allow for your content to be easily discovered by your target audience.
- Saves time for social media users when they are searching for precise content by categorizing your content.
- They boost your content to reach more people and be discovered by users all across the world.
- Allow social media users to engage with content related to common themes or interests.
- They add fun and wit to your content.
Below are some of the pointers on how to effectively use hashtags:
Use Relevant Hashtags
Your content really matters. It’s what draws your audience.
Questions to ask yourself when formulating a hashtag: What do you want your audience to focus on? Who do you want to view your posts? How quickly can your post be visible to those searching for particular content?
Get topics that are relevant to your audience. You need to find the hashtags that are being discussed and relevant to your content and brand. It’s about getting seen by the right people not numbers. That’s just how hashtags lead to higher engagement and more followers. Select the right words for each hashtag.
Make it Brief
Keep your hashtags short and precise. It should be a few words or a short phrase. Using many words or a complex word may not give you the results you hope to get as you want the hashtag to be familiar or easily discovered by your audience.
Utilize Trending Instagram Hashtags
A trending hashtag is a hashtag that has become very popular. This hashtag is presently widespread or is the most talked about at a particular time. This could also just apply to a specific social media channel. Often, they are centered on the major news topics of the world.
Only use a trending hashtag if it makes sense to the specific content in your post and your brand. A trending hashtag is a great way to increase a brand’s visibility. Before you decide on a hashtag, ensure it adds value to your post. However, if your post does not add value to social media users, it is likely to be lost in an ocean of posts and go unnoticed.
Also using a trending hashtag in your posts can get your message seen by a larger audience. More people can see and engage with your content other than just your followers.
Number of Hashtags
The maximum number of hashtags Instagram allows is 30. Do you need all that to effectively utilize hashtags you may ask? Well, there is no ideal number of hashtags you can use. Some say you need at least 9 hashtags, others settle for around 1 to 3.
With that said, you may need to try different tactics before you settle for a particular number of hashtags.
Its easier to copy paste from previous posts but that may not be a wise move. You want to appear creative and serious as a brand and avoid monotony. Also Instagram’s community guidelines clearly state that “posting repetitive comments or content” is not acceptable. If you use the same hashtags for every post, your content will be fined by the system.
Avoid Spammy Instagram Hashtags
To make sure you attract reliable followers and your ideal audience, you want to carefully choose your hashtags for your specific brand. Be aware that some hashtags attract spammers.
Some hashtags that attract spammers include: #likeforlike, #follow4follow, #love, #goodday #instagood, to name but a few. These hashtags should be avoided if you don’t want to be spammed.
Also it leaves a bad impression on your audience and makes your post seem spammy.
A branded hashtag is a hashtag that’s unique to your company, one that you create yourself. It helps to promote your business or campaign.
Creating a branded hashtag can be simple as your business name or the services you offer or campaigns. You can then let your audience know about your hashtag by using it in your captions and Instagram Stories. Also, by highlighting it in your Instagram bio
Instagram hashtags can be very helpful in growing your brand when used correctly. We hope the article has been helpful in shedding some light in regards to using hashtags. | <urn:uuid:59d10e50-27a7-4dd7-bad2-751a8085d1ba> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://witflair.com/instagram-hashtags/ | 2024-04-18T14:16:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.936817 | 927 |

The Jacksonville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau is again seeking donations to make sure those in need are not cold this winter.
The Convention and Visitors Bureau is teaming up with the Hampton Inn again for their annual blanket drive, which benefits local outreach programs in the Jacksonville area.
Brittany Henry with the Convention and Visitors Bureau says that the program has been supported well in years past.
“We are collecting through the end of November. It takes us a couple of days to sort through them because we usually get a couple hundred blankets, and then we will get them delivered about the frist week in December.
Blankets will be delivered to the Salvation Army, the New Directions Warming and Cooling Shelter, and the Women’s Crisis Center. We will take cash donations as well, and we ask that people donate either new or they could do a homemade blanket.
New or homemade blankets can be dropped off now through the end of November to the Hampton Inn on West Morton Avenue, or the Jacksonville Convention and Visitors Bureau office located at 310 East State Street.
Henry said that cash donations are also accepted, and some area residents have enjoyed making blankets in their spare time during the year.
“Since we have been collecting blankets over the past couple of years, we have had a couple people that look forward to making handmade blankets. They crochet blankets and like to deliver those, and last year, Cedarhurst Assisted Living donated some beautiful knotted blankets we were able to donate as well. And then with the monetary donations, we will go in a purchase blankets to fulfill those that we did not receive.
Last year, the New Directions Warming and Cooling Center said they could really use more twin sized blankets because that is the type of bed that they have in their facility, so we were able to use the monetary donations to purchase some of those. And for the Crisis Center, they had some children there and also some clients who were ready for placement and leaving the center, so we were able to help with bedding for those needs as well.”
Henry said that the effort started out as a hat, scarf and glove drive, but that those needs were being fulfilled by other groups, and that the idea for changing to a blanket drive, came out of necessity from the Hampton Inn.
“This is the fourth year we have partnered with Hampton Inn, and when we started this, Michelle Foreman, the General Manager, was actually getting ready to get new bedding for the hotel, and she had said, hey I have seen blanket drives in other communities, what would you think about switching ours to a blanket drive this year.
We had an Illinois College student who was doing an internship with us at the time, and they were doing some research on blanket drives at the time, and through the research we realized there was a need for blankets in our community.”
Henry said that as long as donations continue to come in, and area organizations continue to report a need for the blankets, then the Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Hampton Inn will continue the drive each year.
The Hampton Inn can accept donations 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Jacksonville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau office is open to accept donations Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. | <urn:uuid:d4c6c686-f2bd-466a-8192-eed2396348ec> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wlds.com/4th-annual-blanket-drive-aims-to-warm-jacksonville-needy/ | 2024-04-18T14:10:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.981004 | 676 |

Halloween Safety Tips
HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS FOR GHOULS AND GOBLINS
From the candy to the costumes, Halloween can be a fun time for parents and kids alike. When you combine children with dark streets, you have a formula for danger. According to Safe Kids Worldwide, the risk of children being hit by a car is higher on Halloween then any other day of the year. To reduce the dangers, follow these Halloween Safety Tips to stay safe on the spookiest of holidays.
Be Safe – Be Seen on Halloween
A good Halloween safety tip is to choose costumes and treat bags that are bright and reflective. If your child’s costume or treat bag is not reflective, you can affix reflective tape to them. Choose costumes that fit well. Pants that are too baggy or costumes too cumbersome increase the risk of falling.
Light Up the Darkness
Encourage children to use glow sticks or flashlights. Children under the age of 12 should always be accompanied by an adult. If you are not accompanying them, ask your child their intended route. Make sure they are not going alone and you that know the friends they are going with.
When the Kids Return Home
An important halloween safety tip is to sort through your child’s candy with them. Throw away any items that are opened, tampered with, or if the seal is broken Be mindful of any allergies.
Halloween Safety Tips for Visiting Ghouls
If you are a homeowner, make sure your sidewalk and front door are well lit and free of any debris. Keep family pets away from trick-or-treaters, even if they seem harmless to you. | <urn:uuid:811f4fc6-e9ec-40ee-9882-1954fcaca942> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://woodrufflawyers.com/blog/2019/10/halloween-safety-tips/ | 2024-04-18T13:36:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.91961 | 346 |

English Beer Types
Understanding Beers of England
England is brewing beers for several hundred years.
But, this is all the country brews? Absolutely not! Whenever we try to understand the types of English beers, we could realize that these are complicated!
From the ancient historical times till date, the English beers have been changing from time to time and hence, they are difficult to understand. If you are among those who are interested in understanding the English beer types, just continue reading.
Bitter Beer Types
So, what does the term bitter mean? Broadly, this is the term used for describing the well-hopped pale ale types of beers.
In general, these are found to have strengths of 3.5 to 7% ABV and would appear pale gold to deep mahogany in colours.
Let’s see the subtypes here:
Best Bitter: These are found to be bit stronger than the ordinary type and their strengths are ranging between 3.8 to 4.7% ABV.
Premium Bitter: These, which are otherwise known as ‘extra special bitter’, are found to be having strengths of 4.8% and above.
Ale Beer Types
The pale ales are found to be representing the country’s best beers and are found to be medium-bodied with low to medium malt contents.
The colours are found to be varying from bronze to copper. These generously hopped beers would give a dry and crispy taste with some sweetness.
Golden ales were originally developed during the 20th century in order to compete with the pale lagers.
These, which are otherwise called as summer ales, are found to be having a similar appearance to that of our pale lagers with their malt character having subdued and their hop profile ranging from spicy to citrus.
The strengths of these English beers are found to be ranging from 4 to 5% ABV. The most commonly used hop additions for the golden ales are Styrian Golding and Cascade.
Indian Pale Ale
Traditionally, the Indian Pale Ales are the heavily hopped beers and were developed for export to the Indian Subcontinent.
But today’s Indian pale ales are found to be the stronger variants of ordinary ales, but with the slightly higher gravity than them.
Most of the present-day Indian pale ales are found to be deep golden to medium amber coloured and are found to be giving some lively aromas of English hops (earthy, grassy, and floral).
These, which were traditionally associated with north-eastern parts of the country, are generally sweeter and tend to be full-bodied and stronger than the mild ale English beer types.
In most cases, we can find that these beers are deep reddish brown in colours. In these beers, both the hop aromas as well as the bitterness are usually found to be lower.
In other words, we can say these ale beers are less bitter than ordinary pale ales, but are higher in malt and alcohol contents than them. The alcohol levels of these beers are found to be lying between 4 and 5.5% ABV.
Mild Ales are originally from London and even today, they are considered as the regional favourites there.
These are lower in their alcohol levels but are flavourful. The mild ales are found to be light to medium bodied with 3 to 3.6% ABV and are mostly dark in colours.
Light Mild Ale

This is the English beer style that is used to describe the beers that are kept for a long time before consuming. We could find that most of the old ales are full-bodied and darker in colours.
They will be tawny with the sweetness of the nutty malt. In simple terms, these can be called as the higher alcohol versions of the pale ale with some fruity characters.

More often, the colours of these beers would vary from bronze to mahogany although there are golden varieties too. These ale beers are found to be heavy, full-bodied, and malty in nature and would come with high fruity flavours.
This was found to be the principal beer type of England in the past and this represents lighter bodied and less malty beers when compared to the other group called stout (described below).
The degrees of sweetness, as well as hop characters, are found to be varying thus giving rise to the following porter subtypes:

These are the beers that are sweeter than your brown porters and are coming with some extra alcohol contents when compared to the browns. The alcohol contents are found be lying between 4.5 to 7% ABV.
These are the strongest porters with up to 10% ABV and are found to be less bitter with caramel and fruit flavors.
These, which were first produced during the 19th century, can be otherwise called as high-gravity porters.
In general, the stouts are found to be darker in colours and hence, they appear black in most cases. The subtypes of stout are:
These are brewed with oats for smooth textures and are found to be displaying varying levels of sweetness.
Sweet Milk Stout

Planet to Appear at its Brightest Point in Years Above the Hudson Valley
Skies in the Hudson Valley are expected to be clear this week, which will provide the area with its best chance to catch a rare astronomical event. AccuWeather says we won't get an opportunity like this again until 2025.
Mars to Shine Above the Hudson Valley
AccuWeather says that the planet Mars will appear brighter than it had in two years. Scientists say the red planet will rise in the eastern sky shortly after sunset Thursday and will set in the west just before sunrise. mars will reach its point of opposition, which is when the planet is on the opposite side of the Earth than the sun.
The last time Mars showed this bright was October 13, 2020. The next time we'll get to see something like this won't be until 2025. Space.com says that Mars will reach its highest point in the sky 74 degrees above the southern horizon, at around 11:41 PM.
Space.com says the distance to Mars from Earth varies considerably depending on their orbits around the Sun. The distance between the planets can vary anywhere from 33.9 million to 250 million miles apart. The current distance apart is about 51.9 million miles.
More Cool Stuff
The most active time of the year for meteor showers continues through December, and as always, they're saving the biggest one for last. The Orionid meteor shower peaked in October, followed by the Taurids and the Leonids in the month of November.
The last astronomical event of the year also happens to be the most active. And according to AccuWeather, onlookers could expect to spot over 100 meteors an hour.
The Biggest Meteor Shower of the Year
AccuWeather says that the Geminid meteor shower, which is the most active shower of the year, will peak night of Tuesday, December 13, into the early hours of Wednesday, the 14th. And the thing about the Geminids is that you don't necessarily have to stay up late or get up very early to see them. AccuWeather says that the streaks of light can be seen right after dusk.
The height of the meteor shower though will come around 2 AM, Wednesday.
One thing that could hamper the peak of the shower is the Moon, so perhaps the earlier time is better for viewing. In some years, 120 to 180 meteors have been reported per hour with the Geminids.
The Geminid meteor shower is the debris left from the rock comet 3200 Phaethon. The meteor shower gets its name because it can be seen as white or yellowish streaks in the night sky, coming from the direction of the constellation Gemini. You'll want to be away from as many city lights as possible for the best viewing opportunity. | <urn:uuid:8f49a3bb-6139-40c2-b916-306407d489f9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wrrv.com/mars-brightest-new-york/ | 2024-04-18T13:01:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.958208 | 574 |

For more than a decade Bill Petros led his own research lab at Duke University Cancer Center, one of the top cancer research centers in the United States.
Then he got a call from West Virginia University, and was thrilled to return home.
Now in his lab at the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center in Morgantown, Petros develops early drug trails on how smoking affects the way a cancer drug acts in the body, or how body weight affects the way a drug may act, as well as many other factors.
He’s carrying out world-class research in the new world of personalized medicine – here in West Virginia.
Petros holds the Mylan Chair in Pharmacology at West Virginia University. He’s also Associate Director for Anti-Cancer Drug Development at the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center at WVU.

The Public Service Commission of West Virginia has set aside three days for hearings on the companies’ proposed 15 percent increase in residential rates, commonly called base rates.
If approved by the commission, the average retail customer would see an increase of more than $18 in monthly rates, while the overall rate increase being sought by the companies is 13 percent.
“We encourage and actively seek comments from those affected by any rate increase pending before the commission,” PSC Chairman Charlotte R. Lane said. “But these larger cases seem to attract more notice than smaller cases.”
Both companies recently announced they will give customers a one-time fixed bill credit on their 2024 July bill after a PSC audit revealed financial misconduct and called for greater accountability of lobbying expenses and better record keeping.
An evidentiary hearing starts at 9:30 a.m. Jan. 24 at the PSC headquarters at 201 Brooks St., Charleston. The case was filed May 31, 2023.
Public comments can be filed by email on the Commission’s website, or they may be mailed to the PSC. Reference Case No. 23-0460-E-42T in your comments.

Why Selenium Can Be The Tool Of Software Testing?
Suppose your association has now a steady arrangement of manual testcases that is utilized for relapse each time your item discharges. As you know this set continues expanding and soon you are seeing that the relapse test cycle is overloading on your item discharge courses of events.
In nowadays of Coordinated practices, the conspicuous next place you take a gander at is to computerize testing with the end goal that relapse cycle is abbreviated. This is not by any means the only advantage of robotization, however we will leave that talk to later. Likewise for motivation behind this exchange, we will focus on GUI robotization apparatuses. So on the off chance that you are in charge of GUI robotization, the primary inquiry that will come up is
"What is the best GUI test robotization apparatus for application"?
In the event that you had posed this inquiry in any QA discussion or simply done a plain pursuit, atleast one of the response to above inquiry would be Selenium. To keep this discourse in context, I might want to talk about benefits/faults of Selenium being the instrument of decision.
... of utilizing Selenium:
–Choice of utilizing dialect of your decision.
This is favorable position which has an aberrant advantage of connecting to your building engineering effortlessly. For instance if your association is a Java shop, you as of now have a learning and specialized skill accessible with scope of devices (e.g IDE, fabricate frameworks, announcing instruments and so forth.) that your improvement branch employments. It would be simply an issue of exchanging this know-how to your QA group which they may as of now be comfortable with it.
–Script once, Keep running on different programs
While this is not precisely valid in least complex feeling of talking, the upside of running your tests on numerous programs with a similar arrangement of contents is a colossal favorable position when you need to test your application on various program adaptation
–Inherent appropriateness to AJAX
Selenium works in program, with the center innovation that is driving your experiment working close by your application under test (AUT). This gives unimaginable control over testing of AJAX web applications .
–A people group upheld Selenium Programming suite
Selenium clients can and should exploit Selenium IDE,A Firefox module which helps you in recording and running your tests.Selenium Matrix enables you to take your tests and convey it in a bunched domain upgrading utilization of your assets. For points of interest please allude to this Selenium documentation
— Bolster numerous test systems
In spite of basic considering, selenium is not a testing instrument. It is more similar to a GUI driving library. This is a gift. Selenium enables clients to wrap their preferred test contents in the structure. So in the event that you like JUnit versus TestNG,you have a decision and furthermore exploiting announcing capacities of this structure your advancement group may be now utilizing.
— Mix with the environment
In the event that your necessity is coordination with various suite of devices like Hudson, QMetry etc,there are as of now arrangements accessible out there which will make the reconciliation easier.With no interest in acquiring tools,you can make a test mechanization framework ideal keeping pace with a commerical suite of instruments. There are additionally different arrangements accessible for you on the off chance that you need to run tests in parallel. Check outselenium Lattice and saucelabs
Having said the majority of the above,what are the ranges where Selenium misses the mark
— Supporting non-web applications
Selenium is composed and developing remembering that it is utilized to computerize web applications. So on the off chance that you have a windows application or a Java applet or applications that utilization Streak, it is difficult to utilize Selenium. However different devices likewise don't make a superior showing with regards to of supporting this applications. In fact there can be different answers for deal with this weakness from selenium itself.
— Support preparation is not inbuilt
On the off chance that you take a gander at business apparatuses, there would dependably be an idea of putting away UI question definitions independently from test code, test information administration and other pleasant utilities incorporated with the device. In Selenium, this is left to person's execution. While both methodologies have it's advantages and disadvantages, an elegantly composed Selenium system can go far in giving you a head begin in composing Selenium test cases.
Frequently Selenium is offered as an ease (opensource) other option to business devices like QuickTest Professional or SilkTest. While this being valid as far as acquiring the real programming, i believe it's basic to comprehend that since composing and keeping up different functionalities that would have been offered as a major aspect of the business apparatus bundle now falls on people, this cost ought to be contemplated while settling on a ultimate conclusion
Where does this data abandon you as far as noting the first inquiry? The appropriate response depends on number of components, extending from administration objectives to specialized prerequisites however Selenium ought to be viewed as a vital competitor alongside the business instruments which requires a gigantic forthright speculation as well as huge interest in taking in another suite of devices, a group committed to particular range of abilities and so on.

Wallet Codes Cambodia joins ABA’s PayWay payment platform to enable popular online payment methods
ABA’s PayWay will enable transactions through ABA Pay, credit and debit cards, which include Visa, Mastercard, and UnionPay International.
Wallet Codes Cambodia, a one-stop portal for digital goods from the world’s popular online entertainment and stores, expands its payment options for Wallet Codes users in Cambodia by joining ABA’s PayWay payment platform.
PayWay is an advanced payment platform from ABA Bank that enables businesses to accept online payments instantly and hassle-free. The new payment gateway integration provides an opportunity for Wallet Codes users to conveniently purchase gaming vouchers and digital gift cards of their choice from the portal. As part of the partnership deal, PayWay will enable payments through ABA Pay, credit and debit cards, which include Visa, Mastercard, and UnionPay.
Soknang To, Country Manager at Forest Interactive Cambodia, said: “Our goal at Wallet Codes has always been to provide an optimized user experience for seamless purchasing process. Thanks to this new integration, Wallet Codes users can now make their payments through any gateways of their choice and enjoy faster checkouts.”
Zokhir Rasulov, Chief Digital Officer at ABA Bank, noted: “As the leading bank in digital finances, we are excited to enable the acceptance of payments with ABA PAY, credit and debit cards on Wallet Codes Cambodia. We believe such initiatives bring great value to Cambodians by opening up more opportunities for financial inclusion across the country and, ultimately, to make their financial lives more convenient, especially during the pandemic.”
Wallet Codes, a platform developed by Forest Interactive, extended its digital offerings to Cambodia in November last year to boost digital financial inclusion, especially among gamers in the country. With the increase in gameplay time and consumption of online streaming content due to the pandemic restriction measures, Wallet Codes comes in handy for many Cambodians who want to have access to premium services but do not own a credit card.
“We understand the challenges faced by some underserved segments in Cambodia in making purchases online from a portal with limited payment options,” explained To. “As of today, Wallet Codes Cambodia has a total of seven local payment options available on the portal, including the latest added ABA PAY and Visa, Mastercard, and UnionPay debit and credit cards.”
Previously, ABA Bank, the Kingdom’s leading private financial institution, onboarded Forest Interactive as its digital content partner for the award-winning mobile banking app, ABA Mobile. The partnership allows ABA Mobile users to pay seamlessly for a variety of world’s popular digital vouchers, including premium services like Amazon, Google Play Store, iTunes Store, Netflix, Spotify, Steam, Xbox, Nintendo, PlayStation Network, Mobile Legends Diamonds, PUBG UC Mobile, Garena Shell, Rules of Survival, Roblox, and many more.

ABOUT MY FINE ART PRINTS
Every colour-perfect Giclée fine art print is printed using the very latest technology. Featuring 11 inks, 2880 x 1440 DPI higher dot per square inch and CMYK colour model. The museum-grade archival art paper is hand-picked, highly textured and carries the highest age resistance currently available (archival life of 80 years.)
The super matte finish of Hahnemüle Photorag has minimal texture with a chalky smooth cotton feel which creates smooth colour gradients. Weighing 308gsm, acid and lignin free, the paper conforms to ISO 9706 standards and ICC-profiles. There is no white border on the prints. The prints have a delicate surface and extra care must be taken when handling. Photorag is suitable for mounting but its cotton texture means edges can fray if not carefully handled. I recommend the use of gloves throughout the handling process.
Larger prints are carefully wrapped, rolled and secured in heavy-duty tubes to protect the prints in transit. To flatten the prints after arrival, I recommend carefully placing them (with their protective paper still in place) between heavy flat blocks / surface for several days until your prints are flat again.
To showcase the print and protect your investment, I recommend having them professionally framed in UV Non-Reflective Acrylic Glass. Ideally, 2.5mm thick acrylic glass that provides both 99% UV resistance and a reduction in glare and reflections through a matte coating on the acrylic glass.
ABOUT MY HANDMADE NATURAL FIBRE BAGS
My handmade woven bohemian bags embody the things I love about slow living. From the easy going simplicity, the subtle minimalism, right down to the lovely earthy colours and textures. Every bag is hand crafted from natural raw fibres that have been hand spun and hand dyed by artisans supported by the Fair Trade Organisation. Each twine or rope is sustainably produced, 100% natural and only natural vegetable dyes are used. Each bag is a limited edition and no 2 bags are similar. Unless otherwise, indicated, all the leather straps are made from vegan faux leather. If a leather strap is used, it will be clearly indicated and only made from salvaged leather scraps that is being repurposed into a bag handle. FREE STANDARD WORLDWIDE SHIPPING is offered on every bag purchased.
JUTE VS HEMP
~ Jute is light brown in colour. Hemp is off white in colour with grey undertones.
~ The Jute I use is thicker than the Hemp. The Jute yarn is about 6mm thick and the Hemp is 4 – 5mm.
~ The Hemp is very dense. It is about twice the weight of the Jute. So while the Hemp thread is thinner than the Jute thread, the Jute compresses more and will become “flatter” so to speak.
~ The Hemp has a more “premium” feel to the yarn given its density. While it will stretch beautifully with time, it holds its shape very well. Jute is softer in comparison to hemp and will stretch a little more in time to give it a lovely slouchy look.
~ The Hemp has a “grassy” scent while the Jute has a “strawy” scent.
HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR HANDBAG
~ All the Boho Bags are made from 100% natural fibres like hemp, jute, flaxen or strong. As such they are very easy to care for. If it gets dirty, just wipe the area clean with some warm soapy water and allow it to air dry naturally.
~ If the bag gets wet, please hang it up and allow to air dry naturally.
~ Never place the bag in the washing machine or dryer.
~ When not in use, I recommend hanging the bag up to “breathe” in the natural air and to maintain it’s natural shape.
~ Please note that given the nature of natural fibres, the bag will take on a softer and slouchier appearance with time.
~ PLEASE ENSURE THAT AN EMAIL ADDRESS AND CONTACT PHONE NUMBER (INCLUDING COUNTRY AND AREA CODE) IS PROVIDED IN THE NOTES SECTION WHEN PLACING YOUR ORDER SO THAT THE CARRIER CAN CONTACT YOU IF NECESSARY.
~ PLEASE NOTE DELIVERY MUST BE TO A PHYSICAL ADDRESS. DELIVERY CANNOT BE MADE TO A P O BOX.
~ All bags are sent out in the standard Australia Post satchels within Australia and transit time on the standard regular satchel is 7 to 10 working days. For international orders, items are sent out on the standard international service and transit time is 15 to 20 working days. Please note any overseas taxes and duties are the responsibility of the buyer.
RETURNS & EXCHANGES
~ As every bag is custom made, exchanges and cancellations are not accepted. However, if you have any problems with your order, please contact me on [email protected] asap and I will do my utmost to assist.
GIFT WRAPPING & PACKAGING
~ I’ll love to help you brighten someone’s day with gift wrapping. Each bag is wrapped individually in tissue wrap which is then gift wrapped in brown paper and tied around with jute twine.
~ A card is also included in the gift wrapping with the option to include a personalised message handwritten on your behalf. If you wish to include a letter or longer note, I’ll be delighted to print it on a lovely stationery and include within the card too.
~ If you have any particular gift wrapping request to make it extra special, please do not hesitate to direct message me beforehand and I will do my best to accommodate.
~ Oh, and don’t worry, no invoice or receipt is included in gift wrapped orders. | <urn:uuid:3766aea7-19d7-4f41-a2d2-9c03b3c3cb2c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.abohemialife.com/pages/faqs | 2024-04-18T13:04:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.91478 | 1,262 |
Michael Salas – Making Music Since ‘Day 0ne’
Michael Salas was born and raised in New York City and is known in the music industry Day 0ne, a DJ and Music Producer who is quickly rising to the top as the next big EDM artist. Always knowing music was his passion, he dropped out of college at 18 to attend a prestigious music school in the heart of NYC. It was at school that he was able to find the unique sound that was always deep inside this talented young artist. Believing music is a universal language, Day 0ne’s diverse sounds, melodic tunes, and captivating songs, based on real emotion, are a catalyst for bringing people together. His latest hit song Paradise is full of high energy beats, inspiring listeners that the time is now to live their best life. With a drive for success that started when he received his Black Belt in Martial Arts at just ten years old, Day 0ne is sure to be at the top of the charts. When not spinning tunes or producing new music for his fans, this bi-lingual artist enjoys maintaining a healthy lifestyle, playing sports, and having fun.
HI, WELCOME TO ABOUT INSIDER! THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO CHAT WITH US! CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF, WHO IS MICHAEL SALAS IN YOUR OWN WORDS?
I’m a very ambitious and driven individual, I really enjoy what I do and I take great pride in it. I’m very passionate about my music and I truly give it my all in every project. I consider myself a hard working individual who is always working to improve my craft. I just love being in the studio, trying something new, being as creative as possible and just having fun with it.
WHAT PROMPTED YOU TO DROP OUT OF COLLEGE AND PURSUE A CAREER AS A MUSICIAN?
It really came down to just figuring out what I wanted to do for the rest of my life and be happy about it. And the only thing I actually saw myself doing for the rest of my life was making music. I just love everything about it from brainstorming my next track, to creating it and to finally releasing it for the world to hear it. I really enjoy the process and everything that comes with it so for me it was an easy decision to drop out of school to pursue my music career.
THE NAME ‘DAY ONE’ IS UNIQUE IN ITS OWN WAY. HOW DID YOU GET THIS NAME?
Behind every artist, there is always a good team. I wanted to choose a name that not only represents myself but that also represents every single person that has helped me throughout my career. So that’s how I came up with the name “Day 0ne” . I’m acknowledging everyone that has contributed to my career since day one. I feel like nowadays the artist always gets all the glory and the people that are helping them behind the scenes don’t get enough credit. So “Day 0ne” is not just an artist’s name, it’s a community. Anyone who is supporting me is a “Day 0ne”,we are all “Day 0ne”.
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE EDM BIGGIE?
It feels great to be honest, I really enjoy making electronic music and I also love being part of the community. There’s so much diversity in the electronic scene with different artists from all over the world so it’s pretty cool getting to connect with different artists. Also thanks to social media EDM is growing in different countries all over the world so it’s really impressive how the EDM culture is growing rapidly.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR DEBUT SINGLE, ‘PARADISE’, AND HOW YOU CAME UP WITH THE IDEA FOR YOUR DEBUT SINGLE?
My song Paradise was made to inspire everyone to live their lives to the fullest with their loved ones. Life is short and we need to make the most out of it. Everyone goes through hard times in life but sometimes we need to sit back and focus on the good things we have and really appreciate the people that are there for us. Life is so much better when we appreciate it more and we are actually living it.
WHAT IS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND YOUR SOULFUL MUSIC PRODUCTION?
It would have to be trying to connect with the audience on an emotional level. When someone can connect with your song on an emotional level it has a greater impact on them. A song can bring back an old memory, it can make you feel some type of away, it honestly just connects with you on a deeper level. Every song has a different emotion attached to it and everyone receives it in a different way but as long as they are able to connect with it then they also feel like they are connecting with the artist as well.
HOW DO YOU INTEND TO CONTINUE TO AMUSE YOUR FOLLOWERS IN THE FUTURE? DO YOU INTEND TO HOST ANY LIVE STREAM SETS OF ANY KIND?
I intend to keep releasing music that they can vibe to, I have a new track called “Sunset” that will be released next week which I know they’ll love. I’m super excited it’s the perfect summer track for everyone to vibe to. And yes I do plan on having a few sets for the summer to switch things up.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY TO YOUR FANS BEFORE THIS INTERVIEW CONCLUDES?
I would just like to say go follow your dreams. Anything is possible in life if you put your mind into it. Whatever you choose to do it definitely won’t be easy but with hard work and consistency you’re putting yourself in a good position to succeed. So don’t be afraid to go after what you truly want, at the end of the day you will be so much happier that you went for it. | <urn:uuid:236858a6-0dcf-4569-8fba-908132260f2c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.aboutinsider.com/michael-salas-making-music-since-day-0ne/ | 2024-04-18T12:57:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.969074 | 1,268 |

Commercial Radio Australia calls for urgency in regulating big tech
Australia’s commercial radio industry has warned of irreparable damage to Australian media businesses due to the expansion and market dominance of tech giants.
In a submission to the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC), the industry body Commercial Radio Australia has called for urgent regulations to stem the anti-competitive behaviour of big tech.
CRA chief executive officer Ford Ennals said the need for rapid reform can’t be overstated.
“Australian media businesses are suffering significant harm as they compete with tech giants for advertising and consumer attention,” he said.
“We are calling for mandatory codes to regulate the business behaviour of the big four – Google, Meta, Apple and Amazon.”
CRA‘s submission is in response to the ACCC’s discussion paper on updating competition and consumer law for digital platform services, which was released this month. The ACCC is due to make recommendations to the government in September.
Mr Ennals said that while the industry welcomed recent steps by the ACCC to curb the imbalance between digital platforms and news media businesses, such as the introduction of last year’s News Media Mandatory Bargaining Code, the pace of regulatory change was too slow.
“The growth of tech market dominance is outpacing regulatory action. There’s a real risk that we will simply run out of time to find regulatory solutions to reverse the damage to media businesses,” he said. | <urn:uuid:c8ed6547-ce51-4446-aa83-5db846ce6da1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.abu.org.my/2022/04/29/commercial-radio-australia-calls-for-urgency-in-regulating-big-tech/ | 2024-04-18T14:12:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.956441 | 308 |

Professor Roberts says much of the research focused on technical aspects of mango supply chains. This includes both the consumer end of the chain and refining technologies to improve handling and shelf-life.
Sap-burn and hot water treatments have made the fruit look better and last longer, which is important for retailers and vendors. After treatment, mangoes in supermarkets can last between 7 and10 days. An increase from just 3 or4 days.
Sap-burn management is used to maintain the visual integrity of the fruit while hot water treatment is generally used to disinfect mango for fruit fly. The fruit is dipped into hot water with the duration of dipping time dependent on the type of cultivar and size. This is applied before the packing process.
Professor Roberts emphasises that when studying demonstration supply chains, it became apparent that ‘interventions or changes at the demand end of the chain were necessary’.
The trial application of improved technologies and management practices have demonstrated mango farmers of the Cat Chu varieties increase income by 17% as the fruit became bigger resulting in higher grading which commands a higher price. Professor Roberts estimates that farmers may see an average increase of US$2,000 in seasonal income as a result of both reducing cost of fertilizing and increasing price of mango grade 1.
Raising the profile of mangoes in consumer minds by improving packaging methods and instore display, associated with premium products, has contributed to an increased value in the marketplace.
Based on the project activities and evaluations, mango farmers from southern Vietnam, if they adopt practices put forward by the project, could see an increase in production of 25–30%, as well as a decrease in postharvest losses.
The project also trialled the introduction of a freezing protocol for mangoes, which would give farmers another trading channel for fruit that doesn’t meet quality requirements for being sold fresh. If adopted by the industry, says Dr Robin, this would provide another revenue stream and reduce on-farm losses. | <urn:uuid:a24409c5-45e8-4553-9e10-2e065f542f3e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.aciar.gov.au/media-search/blogs/new-practices-boost-mango-production-income-vietnam | 2024-04-18T13:01:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.960957 | 401 |
A check of a BE-4 engine at Blue Origin’s Launch Web site One facility in West Texas, Aug. 2, 2019.
A Blue Origin rocket engine exploded throughout testing final month, CNBC has discovered, a damaging setback with potential ramifications for the corporate’s clients and its personal rocket.
Throughout a firing on June 30 at a West Texas facility of Jeff Bezos’ house firm, a BE-4 engine detonated about 10 seconds into the check, in line with a number of folks conversant in the matter. These folks described having seen video of a dramatic explosion that destroyed the engine and closely broken the check stand infrastructure.
The folks spoke to CNBC on the situation of anonymity to debate nonpublic issues.
The engine that exploded was anticipated to complete testing in July. It was then scheduled to ship to Blue Origin’s buyer United Launch Alliance to be used on ULA’s second Vulcan rocket launch, these folks stated.
A Blue Origin spokesperson, in a press release to CNBC on Tuesday, confirmed the corporate « bumped into a difficulty whereas testing Vulcan’s Flight Engine 3. »
« No personnel had been injured and we’re at present assessing root trigger, » Blue Origin stated, including « we have already got proximate trigger and are engaged on remedial actions. »
The corporate famous it « instantly » made its buyer ULA conscious of the incident. ULA is the rocket-building three way partnership of Boeing and Lockheed Martin, which competes primarily with Elon Musk’s SpaceX, particularly going head-to-head over essentially the most profitable navy launch contracts.
Blue Origin additionally stated will probably be in a position to « proceed testing » engines in West Texas. The corporate beforehand constructed two stands for the assessments.
« We can meet our engine supply commitments this 12 months and keep forward of our buyer’s launch wants, » Blue Origin added.
BE-4’s check failure threatens to additional push again the already-delayed first Vulcan launch — which was just lately rescheduled to the fourth quarter of this 12 months — whereas Blue Origin examines the reason for the issue.
Every Vulcan rocket makes use of a pair of BE-4 engines to launch. ULA waited anxiously for years to obtain supply of the primary set. A month in the past, ULA accomplished a key milestone in preparation for the primary Vulcan launch, often called Cert-1, with a quick static fireplace check of the rocket utilizing the primary pair of BE-4 flight engines.
In a press release to CNBC, a ULA spokesperson stated, « The BE-4 testing difficulty shouldn’t be anticipated to impression our plans for the Vulcan Cert-1 mission. » The corporate famous that the engines for Cert-1 « efficiently handed acceptance testing » and are certified to launch.
The Vulcan rocket for the Cert-1 mission stands at SLC-41 throughout testing in Cape Canaveral, Florida, Could 12, 2023.
United Launch Alliance
As ULA’s Cert mission identify implies, the corporate must launch two Vulcans efficiently to finish the U.S. Area Drive’s certification of the rocket for operational flights. With ULA set to retire its at present operational rockets, Atlas V and Delta IV Heavy, the corporate wants Vulcan to be licensed as quickly as doable to start flying nationwide safety missions.
Final month, Area Drive assigned SpaceX and ULA every with six missions underneath the Nationwide Safety Area Launch Section 2 program. All six of ULA’s NSSL missions are set to fly on Vulcan. Moreover, ULA is making ready to bid for Section 3 contracts underneath NSSL, with the Area Drive welcoming heightened competitors.
Blue Origin’s BE-4 incident comes after ULA spent three months investigating its personal check explosion. In March, a separate a part of the rocket, often called the higher stage, exploded throughout a structural check and required ULA to partially disassemble the primary Vulcan rocket to strengthen the higher stage that was already put in.
Whereas ULA decided the issue could be pretty straightforward to repair, it’s now testing a change to the thickness of the higher stage’s metal partitions to make sure the answer is adequate earlier than the corporate reinstalls an improved model.
On the identical time that Blue Origin must get BE-4 working properly and buzzing off the manufacturing line for its important buyer, the corporate additionally wants the engines for its personal reusable New Glenn rocket that is in improvement.
Whereas Vulcan makes use of two BE-4 engines, every New Glenn rocket requires seven BE-4 engines, which means Blue Origin wants to supply dozens a 12 months to help each rockets.
Vulcan and New Glenn are each underneath contract to fly satellites for one more Bezos-founded firm, Amazon. The blockbuster business launch deal noticed Amazon order 38 Vulcan launches and as much as 27 New Glenn launches to fly its Venture Kuiper web satellites over the subsequent few years.
Blue Origin additionally plans to make use of New Glenn to fly the lunar lander it is growing underneath a $3.4 billion NASA contract.
A mass simulator model of a New Glenn rocket is moved for testing in November 2021.
BE-4, the centerpiece of Blue Origin’s secure of rocket engines, was speculated to be prepared by 2017, however a myriad of improvement points has meant the corporate solely completed the primary flight-ready engines just lately.
Equally, New Glenn was initially slated for its inaugural flight in 2020. However delays have modified that timeline to unknown, with Blue Origin management in current public appearances declining to touch upon a brand new debut launch goal for New Glenn.
Blue Origin opened a significant engine manufacturing manufacturing unit in Huntsville, Alabama, in 2020, and has expanded its amenities within the space to about 1 million sq. ft. NASA leased engine check stands on the Marshall Area Flight Heart to Blue Origin. The corporate assessments its smaller BE-7 lunar lander engine there, whereas restoring a bigger NASA stand for BE-4 testing at its testing facility in Texas. | <urn:uuid:2f640bc1-1072-4f96-a3d8-69ec4940199c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.actunews.eu/jeff-bezos-blue-origin-be-4-rocket-engine-explodes-throughout-testing/ | 2024-04-18T14:26:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.936811 | 1,248 |

IFRS Reconciliation Adjustments for Recruiter.com Group Inc. Common Stock
- An example of a fair value hedge is a hedge of exposure to changes in the fair value of a fixed-rate debt instrument arising from changes in interest rates. Such a hedge could be entered into by the issuer or by the holder.
- Despite the requirement in paragraph 7.2.1, an entity that adopts the classification and measurement requirements of this Standard (which include the requirements related to amortised cost measurement for financial assets and impairment in Sections 5.4 and 5.5) shall provide the disclosures set out in paragraphs 42L–42O of IFRS 7 but need not restate prior periods. The entity may restate prior periods if, and only if, it is possible without the use of hindsight. If an entity does not restate prior periods, the entity shall recognise any difference between the previous carrying amount and the carrying amount at the beginning of the annual reporting period that includes the date of initial application in the opening retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) of the annual reporting period that includes the date of initial application. However, if an entity restates prior periods, the restated financial statements must reflect all of the requirements in this Standard. If an entity's chosen approach to applying IFRS 9 results in more than one date of initial application for different requirements, this paragraph applies at each date of initial application (see paragraph 7.2.2). This would be the case, for example, if an entity elects to early apply only the requirements for the presentation of gains and losses on financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with paragraph 7.1.2 before applying the other requirements in this Standard.
- An entity may use practical expedients when measuring expected credit losses if they are consistent with the principles in paragraph 5.5.17. An example of a practical expedient is the calculation of the expected credit losses on trade receivables using a provision matrix. The entity would use its historical credit loss experience (adjusted as appropriate in accordance with paragraphs B5.5.51–B5.5.52) for trade receivables to estimate the 12-month expected credit losses or the lifetime expected credit losses on the financial assets as relevant. A provision matrix might, for example, specify fixed provision rates depending on the number of days that a trade receivable is past due (for example, 1 per cent if not past due, 2 per cent if less than 30 days past due, 3 per cent if more than 30 days but less than 90 days past due, 20 per cent if 90–180 days past due etc). Depending on the diversity of its customer base, the entity would use appropriate groupings if its historical credit loss experience shows significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments. Examples of criteria that might be used to group assets include geographical region, product type, customer rating, collateral or trade credit insurance and type of customer (such as wholesale or retail)
- Hedge effectiveness is the extent to which changes in the fair value or the cash flows of the hedging instrument offset changes in the fair value or the cash flows of the hedged item (for example, when the hedged item is a risk component, the relevant change in fair value or cash flows of an item is the one that is attributable to the hedged risk). Hedge ineffectiveness is the extent to which the changes in the fair value or the cash flows of the hedging instrument are greater or less than those on the hedged item.
*International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adjustment process involves reviewing the company's financial statements and identifying any differences between the company's current accounting practices and the requirements of the IFRS. If there are any such differences, neural network makes adjustments to financial statements to bring them into compliance with the IFRS.

ASTM F1717 | Medical Devices and Equipment | Mechanical Properties
Spinal Implants are tested according to several ASTM standards. ASTM F1717 is intended to provide a basis for the mechanical comparison among past, present and future spinal implant assemblies. Three static and one fatigue mechanical test of a spinal construct are governed by ASTM F1717. The three static tests are compression bending, tension bending and torsion.
The fatigue test is a compression bending test. The mechanical tests are conducted using simplified loading schemes and do not attempt to mimic the complex loads of the spine.
Prior to conducting ASTM F1717, it is important to read the entire specification in the relevant ASTM publication.
Load at a rate not to exceed 60 deg/min and record the torque vs angle curve.
Calculate angle at 2% offset yield, elastic angle, yield torque and torsional stiffness.
Compressive Bending Fatigue Test
Apply a constant load amplitude sinusoidal control profile at no faster than 5Hz. A constant load ratio, R, for all tests should be established and should be greater than or equal to 10.
Evaluate two specimens at the initial fatigue loads. Determine the maximum run out load based on no samples failing prior to 5 million cycles.
Continue fatigue testing pairs of specimens until the difference between the load at which a specimen fails and the run out load is no greater than 10% of the compression bending ultimate load.
ADMET biaxial universal testing systems are available for static only or for both the static and fatigue tests outlined above. These tests require specific fixturing described in the F1717 specification and can be provide by ADMET. | <urn:uuid:db4f2e58-0f36-4eb4-9aa5-5eef62d50682> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.admet.com/testing-applications/testing-standards/astm-f1717-spinal-implant-testing/ | 2024-04-18T13:14:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.904765 | 349 |

On Oct. 13, 1913, Albert Jewell was flying a Moisant-Blériot monoplane from Long Island to Staten Island, intending to compete in an aerial derby. He disappeared and was never heard from again; no trace of Jewell or his airplane were ever recovered.
On May 19, 1919, New York hotel owner Raymond Orteig offered a $25,000 reward to the first aviator to fly non-stop between New York City and Paris. François Coli and Charles Nungesser tried to do this in May 1927, leaving from Paris in a Levasseur PL.8 biplane called L’Oiseau Blanc, or The White Bird. The plane disappeared and was never found, leaving the task to Charles Lindbergh two weeks later.
There are countless other tales of disappearing aircraft and pilots between that and the one you know about, when Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan attempted to fly around the world in a Lockheed Electra 10E in 1937 and disappeared somewhere near Howland Island in the Pacific Ocean. And there are countless more tales after that, not to mention the disappearance of the UC-64 Norseman over the English Channel that carried band leader Glenn Miller. No trace of that flight was ever found.
Before Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, the last plane reported missing was in November 2008, when a small Beechcraft King Air plane disappeared over Guyana. They lost 3 crew members who were never heard from again.
We still lose airplanes. We’ve been losing airplanes for 100 years, and we’re still losing them. Losing an airplane is still within the realm of possibility. In my own car, I can have a computer talk to me to tell me how to drive to Pittsburgh, but we can still lose an airplane. From this latest event, I draw two reflections.
This world we live on is big. I have posted these numbers recently: The total surface area of the Earth is 196.9 million square miles. The total surface area of the United States is 3.794 million square miles, including all land and territorial waters. This means the United States comprises 1.9 percent of the Earth. It’s a big planet, but we can only live on a quarter of it. And, sometimes, when we try to traverse it by air, it eats you up and spits you out anyways. Intelligent design my forehead.
Second, we sure do think we’re hot goosepoop these days, with the Internet and GPS and satellites and the Google Glass and whatnot. But get humble, people. Get real, real humble.
Because we still lose airplanes.

Rapper Eminem garnered fans and detractors alike in the gay community over the controversial content of his The Marshall Mathers LP, and cable network VH1 will take a closer look at the multiplatinum CD on Ultimate Albums, airing Sunday, June 16, at 10 p.m. (check local listings). "I think that through the interviews and protests and such that we do on the show, you get the sense that even Eminem doesn't believe the stuff that he says," show producer Soren Baker tells LAUNCH Music. "He's just saying that to make entertaining music and kinda rattle their brains." The show will also focus on the making of the single "Stan," which Elton John performed with Eminem at the Grammy Awards. | <urn:uuid:8d6d493a-f356-4a12-87b9-cfa819b21a04> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.advocate.com/arts-entertainment/entertainment-news/2002/06/15/vh1-explores-ltigtthe-marshall-mathers-lpltigt-4669 | 2024-04-18T13:49:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.969666 | 154 |

Fault Injection and
Environmental Failure Testing
Fault induction is a process by which a device (and for the purpose of this discussion, in particular a cryptographic module) is forced to miscalculate defined operations, skip over required operations (such as password verification or self-tests), and exhibit other erroneous behaviors enabling the attacker (or tester) to gain access to sensitive data or unauthorized control of the device.
On September 1, 2015, DCI provided to SMPTE a memorandum regarding its investigation into the implications of SP800-56Br1 compliance, should NIST decide to enforce it. In May 2016, NIST announced that it would enforce SP800-56Br1. This document is an update to DCI’s earlier FIPS memoranda regarding impact to Media Block (MB) designs and the Key Delivery Message (KDM). | <urn:uuid:9596722e-8fab-48f9-822f-0bba928462a3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.aegisolve.com/cybersecurity-ebooks | 2024-04-18T13:47:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.834279 | 685 |
Sydney Cafés for Coffee Lovers
Sydney takes its coffee seriously. Even casual joints serve espresso drinks with foam flowers, and locals sip from mugs all day long, even when it’s hot outside. More recently, third-wave coffee has taken over, bringing pour-overs, cold brews, and a new crop of bean geeks to the city.
7a/2 Huntley St, Alexandria NSW 2015, Australia
The Grounds café—run out of a former pie factory in the warehouse district of Alexandria—makes coffee, juices, smoothies, baked goods, and rustic breakfast and lunch dishes with equal care. Order a flat white (a cross between a cappuccino and a latte) or a piccolo (a mini latte)—there’s also a coffee tasting board and a deconstructed iced coffee—to pair with your seasonal porridge or Big Brekkie (spicy chorizo and serrano ham with braised white beans, smoked peppers, halloumi, avocado, poached eggs, and thick slabs of house-baked toast). After brekkie, peek into the roastery and Potting Shed restaurant next door, and admire the enchanting garden and event space, complete with a coffee cart, barbecue joint, plant stall, and petting zoo.
6-8 O'Connell St, Newtown NSW 2042, Australia
Opened in a brick-walled space that used to be a favorite local bookstore, Brewtown is the latest venture by Simon Triggs and Charles Cameron, who met while working as managers for the coffee company Toby Estate. The coffee is what you’d expect from two industry veterans—well-executed espresso drinks made using a computerized machine and filter coffee served hot, brewed, or cold and poured from a tap. But the food is somewhat surprising for a small, coffee-focused place. For breakfast, there’s polenta with mushrooms and poached eggs, beet-cured trout served on rye toast that’s smattered with avocado and feta, and house-made “cronuts"—a cross between a doughnut and a croissant, imported from New York and earning a cult following here. There’s also a retail space run by Triggs’ wife upstairs, which has plans for an affogato bar.
Shop 11, The Strand Arcade, 412-414 George St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia
This bite-size coffee stand in the Victorian-era Strand Arcade building downtown is perfect for a midday lift. Run by the team behind Coffee Alchemy in Marrickville, Gumption serves coffee and only coffee (no food). Six single-origin bean varieties are on offer, three of them filtered hot, the other three dripped cold and served over ice. Don’t think about asking for milk, though, unless you mean a steamed drink. They’ll deny you. The staff is not snobby, just matter-of-fact. The coffees come small and extremely drinkable—even for dairy lovers.

What started in 2002 as a little café tucked into a Newtown laneway, Campos has become one of the biggest household names in Australian specialty coffee. The company’s success stems from its simple but ambitious mission: to buy, roast and serve the finest quality coffee. Today, the Campos menu rotates more than 10 direct-trade coffee varieties grown in nine regions around the world. The café continues to experiment with beans, machines, and barista techniques to maintain its order pace of hundreds of coffees per hour. Now operating in Queensland and Melbourne as well as Sydney, Campos has recently introduced cupping classes Thursday through Saturday held in a dark upstairs lounge above the Newtown location. Customers pay $30 to compare five coffee varieties from different regions and learn the different processing and preparation styles. Sydney’s newest Campos café in the Alexandria neighborhood features a siphon bar that only serves select single origin coffees. | <urn:uuid:275c6dab-c9f8-43a9-af6e-cc552fd5e890> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.afar.com/travel-tips/sydney-cafes-for-coffee-lovers | 2024-04-18T14:50:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.93938 | 834 |
