“When I feel conviction, I step back
and observe the evidence.
When I feel the call to assert my truth,
I acknowledge what purpose
this act is in service to.
I seek the center of conflicting truths for understanding
and cast out baseless assumptions,
programmed reactions, and defensive projections.
I choose balance beyond extremes
and have the courage to refine my beliefs
or bias with curiosity and respect for
the diversities of perspective.” | <urn:uuid:a86cdf4e-8bbf-4042-9b7e-eed3b4888469> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.faizhealing.net/post/mantra-for-neutralizing-assumptions | 2024-04-18T14:32:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.914534 | 98 |

Happy Birthday, Chiranjeevi: Tracing The Megastar’s Film And Political Journey
Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi turns 68 years old today. With his acting prowess and exceptional dance moves, he made a mark for himself in showbiz. The actor began his journey with the 1978 movie Pranam Khareedu, directed by K Vasu. His debut as a lead actor in Punadhirallu got him Nandi Award for Best Actor and Best Feature Film.
The megastar was last seen in Bholaa Shankar, which underperformed at the box office. Now, the actor is all prepared to star in films, including The Journalist, an untitled film with Anil Ravipudi, a project with Mallidi Vasishta, and Krishna Kurasala’s next venture.
In 2008, Chiranjeevi launched Praja Rajyam Party in Andhra Pradesh. His political aspiration closely paralleled that of Kamal Haasan, who launched Makkal Needhi Maiam in 2018 with a focus on social justice. But, his political journey was not a huge success. Eventually, he merged his party with Congress.
Before foraying into politics, Chiranjeevi last acted in Shankar Dada Zindabad, a remake of the Hindi movie Lage Raho Munnabhai. Following the merger with Congress in 2012, Chiranjeevi became a Union Minister. The same year, he also became a Rajya Sabha Member, marking a shift from an actor to a politician.
Chiranjeevi’s political journey ended after Andhra Pradesh’s division in June 2014. Despite being loyal to Congress and actively joining their 2014 campaign, he chose not to contest the polls.
The year 2017 witnessed Chiranjeevi’s comeback to the film industry with his movie Khaidi No 150. This marked his first lead role in a decade, and remarkably, the movie shattered numerous box office records. Produced by Chiranjeevi’s son Ram Charan, the film was a remake of AR Murugadoss and Vijay’s Kaththi.
Chiranjeevi’s recent film, Bhola Shankar, directed by Meher Ramesh, received mixed reviews from both viewers and critics. Despite featuring a prominent cast, including Keerthy Suresh and Tamannaah Bhatia, the movie failed to live up to expectations. Bholla Shankar will soon have its digital premiere on Netflix. As reported by the media, the streaming platform acquired the rights to the film for a sum of Rs 50 crore.
Next, his fans are looking forward to Mega 157. With his history of making a strong impact on-screen, Mega 157 is poised to become another remarkable chapter in Chiranjeevi’s impressive career.

Being a parent is often both incredibly rewarding and incredibly exhausting. Whether you just welcomed a newborn, have adopted your first, or have teens—it's a lifelong journey filled with ups and downs. Balancing parenting and an exercise routine in your life can present an additional challenge.
Are you a running parent? Or perhaps, you've never tried running before or want to get your feet back on the trail—but are unsure how to make it easier for yourself and your little ones.
Did you know there is a wealth of specialized gear for the running parent to help you balance being a parent and a passionate, committed runner of any level? If you're struggling to determine which gear might make your next family run a bit easier, we're here to help!
The Running Stroller
You might think you already have a stroller; what's the difference between that and one specifically built for running with your kiddos? And, is it worth it? If you're an avid runner or belong to an avid runner family, having a specially adapted stroller suitable for jogging may be worth it. Running strollers are built more robust and have more stability than the regular baby and toddler strollers on the market.
A lightweight regular stroller isn't probably going to remain stable enough to push them in front of you on sidewalks or your usual running terrain. Generally, standard strollers weigh between 8 – 33 pounds, while most jogging strollers start at 23 pounds and go over, thanks to larger wheels and extra stabilizing accessories.
Since running strollers are more robust, they have a higher weight limit of around or above 75 pounds. There are two reasons for this. First, you shouldn't go running with your baby until they are six months old or older; second, running strollers can handle weight better due to sturdier builds.
What other features do running strollers have that regular don't?
- Running strollers use either pneumatic tires or foam-filled tires. Pneumatic tires are heavier, with an inner wheel structure, an air tube, and an outer rubber tire. Pneumatic tires are flexible, giving you a smoother ride on bumpy ground. Foam-filled or EVA foam rubber tires are solid and lighter than pneumatic tires but tend to be stiffer. In general, jogging strollers are three-wheeled. Either way, running strollers should feature big wheels. However, EVA tires can be as smooth as pneumatic if your stroller has suspension.
- Great running strollers should have suspension. Suspension is crucial because it makes the ride smooth and comfortable for your kids while making it easier for you to push it while running.
- Reputable jogging strollers should always have a five-point harness, as you'll be moving faster than usual in probably more complicated areas when running. Many running stroller models also can interface with a car seat and a canopy to protect your little one from the elements.
- A running stroller will either have a fixed front wheel or the ability to lock the front wheel when running to prevent swivel.
- Running strollers should come with two types of brakes: hand brakes for running and a foot brake that can be engaged when your feet aren't moving, but you aren't holding the handle. Additionally, a safety wrist strap is critical because, as a parent, we're human, and after a long day or run, you may forget to engage the foot brake. Extra precautions to ensure safety is always an excellent choice.
Running Belt Bag or Waist Packs
Now, we can guess what you're thinking. "A fanny pack? Really? Hear us out! A running belt or a waist pack is designed exclusively for those who need to carry essential items while running or doing cardio, like hiking and jogging. Running belts consider that the body wearing them will be bouncing around. They work to ensure there's less discomfort while allowing you to carry your essential items like keys, wallet, water, or phone without pockets. Running belts also utilize lightweight, sweat-wicking material that won't chafe, which is ideal for runners.
Some running belts are also designed to hold water bottles, allowing you to keep your hands on the stroller.
Fanny packs, on the other hand, can be worn—but they are not designed to account for the more extensive range of motion when being worn. Fanny packs also tend to be much bulkier.
If you prefer just water, that's fine! However, if you want to sustain performance and boost your endurance, many nutritionists recommend consuming additional hydration, carbohydrates, and electrolytes, especially for longer runs.
You can choose sports drinks, more water, energy bars, chews, blocks, or gels. Regarding what offers the most portability, consistency, and convenience for running parents, we recommend energy gels. Gels are essentially sports drinks without bulkiness or weight.
GPS and Fitness Tracking Watch
If you would instead leave the smartphone behind, having one less thing to carry, a GPS and fitness tracking wristwatch might be perfect for you. GPS running watches can be an excellent tool to add to your running routine and even more so as a parent. Track your miles effortlessly; plenty of models offer other unique smartwatch features you can use outside your run.
Whether your little one or you are an early riser or a late-evening run sort, your safety is as essential as your kids. One of the best tips for running safely at dawn or dusk is to ensure you're visible. Reflective clothing or gear for mom and dad is prudent. Making sure you're visible isn't just for vehicles, either. Reflective clothing is an excellent way to be seen clearly by others running, walking, or walking their dog along the same trail. We recommend looking for something as minimalistic and lightweight as possible that is soft, chafe-free, and doesn't trap sweat.
When it comes to being a running parent, there is a lot of excellent gear out there that will help make running with your kids much more manageable. But try and remember, you can head out the door planning your usual with all the best gear in the world, but your kids may have other plans! Remember to manage your expectations and be flexible. Enjoy this time you have together with your kids. | <urn:uuid:4b788758-028e-4cd2-bfe3-50ab1d5ffbea> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.fitsok.com/blogs/blog/accessory-gear-for-the-running-parent | 2024-04-18T13:21:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.957456 | 1,304 |
For the first time in a long time, The Chills have released a new track. This is You're Immortal:
Martin Phillipps on You’re Immortal. “These are unprecedented times but, as usual, the young feel invulnerable and the elders are concerned. The old people (like me) want to feel more involved but they also know that their time of influence has largely passed.
So we learn from the young and admire them as they make their own mistakes yet still, hopefully, shape extraordinary history we could not have imagined.”
This song sets in motion a new epoch for the band, with much to look forward to. Alongside that lest we forget are the recently announced reissues of Submarine Bells and Soft Bomb (in blue or orange no less), set to be released on January 15th, 2021. Things are looking up!
You're Immortal is out now via Fire Records. | <urn:uuid:7bdd8f64-e172-49bb-8bdb-f8ca175b5761> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.flyingnun.co.nz/blogs/news/new-track-from-the-chills | 2024-04-18T13:44:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.975308 | 190 |
Georgia and Drosia Tseri live and work in Kythera for the last 25 years. The title “Cherish” is a play on words to show their love and devotion to the Kytherian life.
Drosia Tseri, as a different “Alice in Wonderland” observes closely the majestic, to her belief, Kytherian landscape and creates her own symbols which are used as fundamentals in her paintings and installations.
Georgia Tseri creates prints on paper that is usually processed by her. Her main subject of interest is the trace of the prints that express an absence so profoundly loud that can affect reason and reality. | <urn:uuid:dae6d932-7ad4-47f0-9c3b-b3481250f1f5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.followyourart.gr/exhibitions/cherish | 2024-04-18T14:47:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.965469 | 136 |
The sea of Kythera, according to Hesiod, is the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite. The myth of her creation is well known, and contains intense violence. The goddess of Love, therefore, was born from blood and the sea’s spume in the island of Kythera and then travelled on a shell to Cyprus. Kythera as a place and landscape was par excellence associated with the utopian, the dreamlike, the beautiful but also the idyllic nevertheless the repulsive and tragically sublime, aesthetic qualities that are particularly expressed in Renaissance and newer landscape and mythological paintings, as well as in literary and poetic tradition. The myth of Aphrodite and the island of Kythera has inspired many artists over the centuries, such as the painter Jean Antoine Watteau, poets such as Charles Baudelaire and recently filmmaker Theodoros Angelopoulos with his “Journey to Kythera”. A journey symbol of deeper personal feelings, visions, values and existential quests. Each of the five artists, who reside permanently or periodically in the island of Kythera and are associated with "follow your art" gallery in Kapsali Kythira, participates with his/her own perspective and thoughts.
Angelos Antonopoulos plays with the boundaries between sculpture and painting and creates a personal narrative-installation, with diverse objects. But mainly he removes the objects he uses from their environment, removes their gender, neutralizes them, processes them, and integrates them into new conditions and relationships. Creating a surreal effect as our dreams and visions often are.
Stefanos Rokos’ works "In the garden" (2022) and "3.15 a.m." (2017) represent two distinct moments of the summer season, in which, under the light of the sun and the moon, and through conversations between members of a group, the attempt is to approach the ideal, or the realization of its futility.
John Stathatos is inspired by the magical gardens of the Scottish multi-talented artist Ian Hamilton Finlay (1925–2006), and specifically by "Little Sparta", the garden he created on the barren slopes of southern Scotland. This garden, which belongs to the great tradition of the allegorical gardens of the Renaissance, places poetic and sculptural elements in an eternal relationship with the natural and artificial landscape. Works made by a range of his collaborators and inspired by the pre-democrats, by the leaders of the French revolution, by the history of art.
Georgia Tseri’s archetypal patterns, allegories and symbols emerge as human beings, solitary figures searching for truth, myth, values and utopias.
Manolis Charos based on Baudelaire's poem "Journey to Kythera": Le navire roulait sous un ciel sans nuages, Comme un ange enivré d'un soleil radieux [Under the starry sky the ship rolled like an angel drunk with sun shining] in order to attempt his own painting journey to Kythera, a journey of search, mental and emotional and at the same time essential. | <urn:uuid:693d9601-0511-4014-a17d-355cd7aeb607> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.followyourart.gr/exhibitions/kythera-distant-and-desirable-ideal | 2024-04-18T13:20:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.947625 | 650 |
As today’s market analysis goes to print, Mario Draghi takes to the podium to discuss the latest European Central Bank meeting. Earlier today, Mr. Draghi and company left rates unchanged at 0.05% and markets are looking for more clarity on the Quantitative Easing plans that were announced in January. Up to this point, all we know is that the ECB plans to buy €60 billion in assets per month, beginning this month, but all other details remain vague. The euro touched a new 11-year low ahead of the rate announcement and is current hanging in the balance above the psychologically important $1.10 level as Mr. Draghi address reporters.
The UK also held a policy meeting today as the Bank of England left rates and QE levels unchanged at 0.50% and 375 billion pounds, respectively. The pound, which had been under heavy selling pressure this week, has stabilized ahead of the real fireworks – the ECB. Economic data was limited elsewhere as Italian GDP and Swedish industrial production were announced to little to no fanfare. All eyes will rest on Mr. Draghi as the Eurozone has arrived at an important inflexion point in the wake of last week’s Greek stop-gap announcement. The stability of the region lies on Mr. Draghi’s words in the short term, as investors look for guidance in the short term.
Addressing the National People’s Congress in China, Premier Li Keqiang unveiled a lower growth target and pledged tighter environmental controls as he opened up parliament’s annual session. Premier Li lowered the GDP growth target to 7% and CPI to 3% but claimed his regime is set to create over 10 million new jobs. Elsewhere, PBoC advisors Yulu and Li made comments on the CNY band and monetary policy, at which both advisors pointed at more neutral outlooks for 2015. The Japanese yen sold off a touch to once again surpass the 120 level versus the dollar. Bank of Japan member Kiuchi made comments that the appropriate level for inflation of Japan is now lower than the BoJ’s current 2$ target, hurting the yen.
Turning to North America, the Canadian dollar is still riding high after yesterday’s policy meeting. The Bank of Canada kept rates steady at 0.75% after cutting in January for the first time in five years. Chairman Poloz noted the economy is performing in line with expectations laid out in January and but warned that further rates cuts could be on the horizon. Despite the warnings, the Canadian dollar rallied about 1% is current below the $1.25 level against the US dollar that has acted as a magnet for the last six weeks or so. The BoC meets again April 15th.
In the US, we are one day away from the February jobs report. At 8:30am, the weekly jobless claims for the week ending February 27th will be released, with expectations at 313k. Like its Canadian cousin, the US dollar continues to surge this week, touching its own 11-year high ahead of the today’s ECB meeting. Yesterday’s ADP report showed private-sector employment grew by 212k jobs in February although January’s release was revised lower from its initial 250k. The dollar continues to rise this morning even after the Fed’s beige book showed a stronger dollar combined with depressed oil prices had in fact weighed on export demand in several important factors. Look for ample opportunity today and tomorrow as the ECB and NFP drive markets into what we all hope is the last cold and snowy weekend of the winter that won’t end. | <urn:uuid:358f5779-7b2a-4730-86d4-48afbd36e08e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.forexcrunch.com/blog/2015/03/05/all-eyes-on-draghi/ | 2024-04-18T13:39:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.964278 | 748 |

Major events — political, natural, or economic — create a lot of eyeballs on a select set of media and stories. But as friends chimed in on Facebook, Twitter, and texts, they shared stories of who stood by them during the crisis. My colleague Christine Overby and I were discussing what marketers did and should do during a crisis. Do your customers need to hear from you during Hurricane Sandy? We’ve seen a few best practices from companies that are handling communications in a helpful and dignified way. We hope they are useful to our readers in charge of customer communications, both this week and in general.
- USAA's mobile app reduces angst. The USAA Mobile App allows customers to report a property or auto claim, submit photos, and view claims status. Storm-related tweets featured a link to the app so that customers knew how to find it and submit a claim. One friend of mine was able to submit a claim, including photos, in about 2 minutes, allowing him to focus on cleaning up the debris. Its relative ubiquity — available for the iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows Phone 7, and BlackBerry — means that any USAA customer with a smartphone can take advantage of these game-changing and life-managing services.
- Citi Cards and American Express send emails to offer personal assistance. In a service message to customers today, Citi Card anticipates their needs and offers relevant services like access to cash, fee waivers, and general instructions for getting help. Similarly, American Express offered affected customers help with emergency financial, travel, or medical services. The message from both is targeted, helpful, and intentionally brief — creating the right tone and value in the middle of a crisis.
- Wall Street Journal and New York Times suspend paywalls to keep people informed. These New York-based papers put aside their business needs to open their content to all visitors to the site during the storm. Readers have unfettered access to news and updates until the emergency is over. It’s the perfect example of knowing when public good trumps business as usual, and quickly executing to make it happen.
But don’t feel like you have to speak. Ham-fisted tweets like the Gap’s “All impacted by Sandy, stay safe! We’ll be doing lots of shopping today. How about you?” always invite scathing responses like “Drowning in cotton Gap hoodie. Send help.” If you’re a business whose customers or operations are not directly supported by these quirky or self-promoting zingers, then you’ll say it best when you say nothing at all, or focus on business as usual for the rest of the audience.
How are you responding to Sandy? Let us know how you have responded or wish other companies would respond to this very tragic event. | <urn:uuid:167dd8cc-8499-47e0-b906-ded9ed58588c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.forrester.com/blogs/12-10-30-hurricane_sandy_reminds_us_how_to_speak_to_customers_during_a_crisis_or_not/ | 2024-04-18T14:59:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.95188 | 587 |
CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago's budget director says the city is on track to pay $100 million in police overtime this year, which is $30 million over budget.
Chicago Budget Director Alexandra Holt gave aldermen the figures Monday during the first day of hearings on Mayor Rahm Emanuel's proposed 2016 budget. The mayor's plan includes a $543 million property tax over four years, among other tax increases and new fees.
The city budgeted about $70 million for police overtime this year.
Holt says $60 million of that $100 million is spent for police working past the end of their shifts and going to testify in court. The rest of the money is being spent on extra violence-reduction patrols in high-crime areas.
Chicago spent about $93.4 million on police overtime last year. | <urn:uuid:0520b5f9-9523-4d5f-8672-55320d13537d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/budget-director-chicago-to-go-over-budget-on-police-ot | 2024-04-18T13:06:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.959924 | 171 |
LOS ANGELES - A Twitter account which was posting messages from former President Donald Trump’s website has been banned from the social media platform.
The account, @DJTdesk, included press releases and statements issued by the former president after leaving office.
The account was created more than four months after several social media companies, including Facebook and Twitter, banned Trump for his comments during the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
RELATED: Oversight board maintains Trump’s Facebook suspension, but scolds company for indefinite ban
"As stated in our ban evasion policy, we’ll take enforcement action on accounts whose apparent intent is to replace or promote content affiliated with a suspended account," a spokesperson for Twitter told FOX Television Stations. The spokesperson did not say who owned the account.
According to Twitter’s policy, attempts to circumvent prior enforcement, including through the creation of new accounts, are prohibited.
Screenshot of suspended account on Twitter
The suspension of the @DJTdesk account came one day after a Facebook-appointed oversight panel upheld the ban of Trump on its platforms, but added that the company should reassess and make a final decision in six months.
Facebook’s Oversight Board ruled that the social network was right to ban Trump in January, saying he "created an environment where a serious risk of violence was possible."
During the riot, Trump posted a message to his followers at the U.S. Capitol that said "We love you. You’re very special," calling them "great patriots" and said "remember this day forever."
The panel found the posts "severely" violated Facebook’s and Instagram’s rules by praising or supporting people engaging in violence. Four people died during the riot and several more were injured. A fifth person, a Capitol Police officer, died shortly after the riot and was later found to have died from natural causes. | <urn:uuid:e94a8461-b7d9-4752-8fd8-a6dbdfdadcbe> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/twitter-suspends-from-the-desk-of-donald-j-trump-account | 2024-04-18T14:54:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.979886 | 396 |
LOS ANGELES - Cases of a rare inflammatory syndrome linked to COVID-19 have been on the rise across the country amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
MIS-C is a condition that causes various parts of the human body to become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs, according to the CDC.
The CDC says the number of MIS-C cases in the U.S. surpassed 1,000 as of Oct. 1, 2020. As of Feb. 1, the number had surpassed 2,000.
MIS-C cases have now been reported in 48 states, New York City, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.
Most cases have been identified in children and adolescents between the ages of 1 and 14 years, while 69% of reported cases have occurred in children who are Hispanic or Latino, according to the health agency.
Ninety-nine percent of all identified cases were in children who had tested positive for COVID-19.
Dr. Jean Ballweg, medical director of pediatric heart transplant and advanced heart failure at Children’s Hospital & Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska, told the New York Times that the hospital was only treating about two cases of MIS-C cases per month from April through October last year.
Ballweg said the number of monthly cases rose to 10 in December and January with 60% requiring intensive care.
The CDC says MIS-C is a new syndrome and questions still remain as to why children and adolescents develop the illness after contracting COVID-19.
The CDC said that the inflammatory condition was first reported in the United Kingdom as early as late April. On May 12 last year, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said 100 children in the city had been diagnosed for MIS-C. Of the 100, 55 tested positive for COVID-19 or had antibodies indicating a previous infection.
Medical experts had initially thought the syndrome could be linked to Kawasaki disease, another rare childhood condition that can cause swelling and heart problems, because the symptoms of the two conditions are similar.
More than a year into the pandemic, researchers are still stumped by an array of ever-evolving symptoms and long-term effects that appear in coronavirus patients.
A study published on June 25, 2020, in the journal Cell Reports Medicine found that while COVID-19 is commonly known as a respiratory illness, the disease has also been known to instigate inflammatory responses in the body which can negatively affect the function of one’s heart and brain.
According to the study, researchers observed SARS-CoV-2 infecting human heart cells that were grown from stem cells in a lab. Within 72 hours of infection, the virus managed to spread and replicate, killing the heart cells.
Another study published last month in the medical journal The Lancet found that some of the first people to be hospitalized for COVID-19 experienced symptoms lasting for up to six months.
Researchers looked at 1,722 coronavirus patients who had been discharged from Jin Yin-tan hospital in Wuhan, China, where the disease was first identified.
The patients were discharged from the hospital between January 7, 2020, and May 29, 2020, and were then interviewed about their symptoms and quality of life pertaining to their health. They were also administered physical examinations and blood tests, as well as a six-minute walking test.
Approximately three-quarters of the patients still reported symptoms within six months after contracting the deadly virus.
More than 60% reported still experiencing fatigue or muscle weakness, while 23% reported anxiety and depression.
"At six months after acute infection, COVID-19 survivors were mainly troubled with fatigue or muscle weakness, sleep difficulties, and anxiety or depression," study authors write. "Patients who were more severely ill during their hospital stay had more severe impaired pulmonary diffusion capacities and abnormal chest imaging manifestations, and are the main target population for intervention of long-term recovery." | <urn:uuid:767a7383-9056-487d-a9a8-639dddca797a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.fox5ny.com/news/mis-c-cases-of-rare-inflammatory-syndrome-linked-to-covid-19-on-the-rise-among-children-in-us | 2024-04-18T13:57:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.971656 | 836 |
The omicron variant BA.2, commonly known as "stealth omicron," now represents 42% of all cases in New York, according to state Health Commissioner Mary Bassett.
Even with that shift, "we don't expect to see a steep surge in cases in New York state," Bassett said Monday at an Albany briefing with Gov. Kathy Hochul.
She said that, so far, the state is not seeing a steep rate of growth like in the United Kingdom and parts of Europe.
New York state averaged around 2,100 new COVID-19 cases per day last week, according to state health officials. That's up 32% from the previous week.
The state's data doesn't include results from at-home COVID-19 tests.
The number of patients made seriously ill by COVID-19 has been declining since early January, when nearly 12,700 were hospitalized. That number had fallen to about 900 as of Sunday.
New York, like other states, scaled back or dropped some of its COVID-19 precautions this month as a wintertime surge in cases fueled by the omicron variant subsided. That included getting rid of mandatory masks for students and teachers in schools.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul's administration announced last month that the state won't enforce its mandate requiring healthcare workers to get booster shots because of concerns over staffing shortages.
About 57% of roughly 146,000 nursing home staffers across New York were fully vaccinated with a booster shot as of mid-March, up from 43% in mid-February. | <urn:uuid:a74a4aef-e4ef-4450-a542-17120a2878cc> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.fox5ny.com/news/no-steep-surge-from-ba-2-variant-ny-health-commissioner-says | 2024-04-18T14:38:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.975962 | 326 |
TAMPA, Fla. - When Danielle Cobo got married in 2013, she never imagined she would have to Photoshop her husband onto the family Christmas card six years later. Her husband is currently deployed overseas with the military and it is the first Christmas they will not spend together.
The Christmas card features a family photo, taken by their nanny, showing her husband standing in front of a helicopter holding her hand as she stands with the couple’s two-and-a-half-year-old twins -- but it is actually two photos combined as one.
“I love the holidays, “ Cobo explained. “I love Christmas cards. I save Christmas cards. It’s just a way of showing people that though we are apart, we are a family.”
Cobo knew her husband had a passion for the military, and less than a year after their wedding he closed his medical marketing company to join the Army. She said they only spent one anniversary together since he enlisted and though he’d be gone a few weeks here and there, this is the first time he’s been deployed.
By the time he returns home in spring 2020, he will have missed more than half of their twin’s lives, but Cobo said she wouldn’t change a thing.
“It was such a calling for him and I didn’t want anything to hold him back from his dreams,” she said.
Cobo said she incorporates her husband into the twin’s daily lives through photos, stories and videos, but they just have one wish for Santa this year: to bring their father home safe. | <urn:uuid:b48ec215-a3c1-4bf5-9ef6-553c7108e985> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.fox5ny.com/news/though-they-are-thousands-of-miles-apart-military-family-unites-for-christmas-card | 2024-04-18T14:30:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.990721 | 345 |

The girl was initially kicked out for 10 days in what the school categorized as a “terroristic threat,” according to the kindergartner’s mother and confirmed by the family attorney. That suspension was reduced to two days and labeled as a “threat to harm others.”
Their names are being withheld to protect the girl’s identity.
Mount Carmel Superintendent Bernard Stellar on Thursday declined comment, saying it would be a breach of confidence and that he cannot discuss student discipline issues.
The alleged incident occurred Jan. 10, while the girl was waiting in a school bus line. | <urn:uuid:408c77a8-e41c-4c69-8ed0-d38de96cd4c6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.freedomsphoenix.com/News/126752-2013-01-19-5-year-old-brandishing-a-hello-kitty-gun-suspended-for.htm | 2024-04-18T14:13:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.976072 | 125 |

Useful Direct Mail Marketing Tips you’ll be Thankful for!
The thing about direct mail marketing is that it’s not hip and happening anymore. While is undeniably true that email and social media marketing have become mainstream today, most businesses still stick to direct mail marketing.
- As to a report by Winterberry group, a strategic consulting firm, marketers spent over $45 million in 2013 on direct mail marketing.
- According to Harvard Business Review, direct mail receives 25% more response in comparison to 23% for emails.
Why? In spite of direct mail being highly expensive, it is still considered as the most effective and reliable way for reaching out to affluent customers. The best thing about a successful direct campaign is that it can easily offset the costs behind the campaign and yield escalating profits. But careful, direct marketing also means making use of a carefully crafted marketing campaign. It is something that requires more time and efforts compared to doing the same for email and social media campaigns.
Direct Mail Marketing Tips
There are 5 tips below that will help you pave the way for instant marketing success (with a must-know tidbit in the end!):
Get a Well-Segment Direct Mail List:
We’ll simply get past the “build your own list” advice. Here is why: When you’re building your own list means employing your time and resources for crafting a niche audience base. Why waste it, when you can put it to some good and profitable use such as revising and improving your products? Instead, get a well-segmented, niche business-to-business or consumer-to-business list from a reputable source, like FrescoData.
There’s always one retailer in your inbox who would keep on filling it with newsletters and email without any value-added offer. What do we do to such emails? We delete them, we brand them as the virtual equivalent of fingernails on the chalkboard thing, and ultimately we unsubscribe! This is the kind of business that we should be sincerely thankful to, they help us learn something valuable from their marketing goof ups.
Then there’s also the kind who would always steal your attention with tactics such as truly unique offers and sales, rebates, time-limited promotions. And there tip no. 2 – value added promotions!
Let the Overall Design do the Magic:
Let your direct mail marketing material follow basic design rules. Be creative, but no such that the colors do a dance of visually distorting illusions. Hire a graphic designer. Get a good quality printer. Use professional-grade paper; make sure the final copy isn’t poor-quality.
Select the Medium:
There’s no point in sending a greeting card to your customers in December when you can actually capitalize by sending a brochure. Some companies never learn that choosing the right medium for the right kind of message is essential for direct marketing.
Test the Demographic:
Before you press the green button for a full-fledged marketing campaign, test it on a smaller market. This way you will be able to determine on your ROI for a much broader future marketing campaign. If you fail to capitalize on the smaller market, it means that you need to work on a improved sales idea and test it again rather than see it fail on a much larger demographic. This simple step works great especially if you have a smaller budget for the marketing campaign.
Adopting all these tips will ensure instant marketing success yielding incredible profits. But how useful are they if you could multiply the profits twofold or maybe more using another such great tip?
That’s the one.

Tanzaku Prints - Tanzaku or "poem slip" prints are narrow, vertical format woodblocks with a printed verse or space to write a poem. These charming prints typically feature beautiful landscapes or peaceful nature subjects. This traditional Japanese form dates back hundreds of years, and is still in use today, with tanazaku decorating bamboo branches for the annual Tanabata Festival. Original shin-hanga tanzaku prints have all but disappeared from the market. These classic designs are an excellent opportunity for the serious collector!

Emerging Australian artist Kris Hartas will present a selection of motorcycle inspired soft hyperrealism works all drawn with unipin pens.
Seven original works will be on display, with some available to purchase during the show. The talented artist will also produce a special one off artwork of three-time Superbike World Champion Troy Bayliss which will be unveiled at the event and auctioned off for charity Beyond Blue.
With each artwork taking between 90 and 120 hours to produce, Hartas said drawing such a technical subject as a motorcycle takes time, attention and patience.

The near-term direction of the April Comex gold futures contract is likely to be determined by trader reaction to $1833.90 to $1819.00.
Gold futures are edging lower after hitting its highest level since November 22 earlier in the session. Putting a cap on the market on Thursday are slightly higher Treasury yields and a firm U.S. Dollar. Volume is light and the range is tight after prices jumped the most in three months on Wednesday on a weaker dollar and increased safe-haven demand.
At 05:53 GMT, April Comex gold futures are trading $1841.80, down $3.70 or -0.20%.
Although the widely expected Federal Reserve interest rate increase in March is threatening to keep a lid on gold prices, the focus for gold speculators seems to be on the Russia-Ukraine situation, which is something the Fed can’t control.
Gold prices seemed to have received a boost on Wednesday when U.S. President Joe Biden, citing simmering tensions between the West and Russia, predicted Moscow would make a move into neighboring Ukraine, although Russian officials have denied this. Meanwhile, according to reports, the Russian army has massed some 100,000 troops near Ukraine’s borders.
The main trend is up according to the daily swing chart. A trade through the overnight high at $1846.60 will signal a resumption of the uptrend. A move through $1783.80 will change the main trend to down.
The minor trend is also up. A trade through $1807.20 will change the minor trend to down. This will shift momentum to the downside.
The short-term range is $1882.50 to $1755.40. Gold is currently trading on the strong side of its retracement zone at $1833.90 to $1819.00, making this area support.
The main range is $1682.40 to $1882.50. Its retracement zone at $1782.50 to $1758.80 is the major support controlling the longer-term direction of the market.
The direction of the April Comex gold futures contract on Thursday is likely to be determined by trader reaction to the retracement zone at $1833.90 to $1819.00.
A sustained move over $1833.90 will indicate the buying is getting stronger. This could even trigger an acceleration to the upside since the daily chart indicates there is not actual resistance until the November 16 main top at $1882.50. This is followed by the two-year 50% level at $1899.80.
A sustained move under $1833.90 will be the first sign of weakness, but taking out $1819.00 could indicate the selling pressure is getting stronger.
Thursday’s marks the eighth day up from the last main bottom on January 7.This puts the market inside the window of time for a potentially bearish closing price reversal top. This chart pattern may not change the trend, but if confirmed, it could lead to the start of a 2 to 3 day correction.

EUR/USD Current Price: 1.1094
- Sentiment in better shape ahead of critical US data.
- EUR/USD capped by Fibonacci resistance, bearish below 1.1065.
The EUR/USD pair has recovered some ground this Monday, reaching a daily high of 1.1106, and trading not far below the level. Speculative interest is unmotivated amid a scarce macroeconomic calendar and first-tier data programmed for later this week. The positive tone of equities and a modest uptick in government debt yields are playing against the greenback.
The European Union released September Money Supply, which resulted at 5.5% YoY, missing the market’s expectations, while for the quarter it rose by 5.5% as expected. Private Loans were up by 3.4% against the expected 3.5%.
The US has already released the September Chicago Fed National Activity Index, which came in at -45 against the expected -0.37, and the Goods Trade Balance for the same month, which posted a deficit of $70.39B. Wholesales inventories declined by 0.3%. Pending of release is the October Dallas Fed Manufacturing Business Index, expected at 1.4 from the previous 1.5.
EUR/USD short-term technical outlook
The EUR/USD pair met sellers ahead of the 23.6% retracement of its latest bullish run, with the 38.2% retracement of the same advance providing immediate support at 1.1065. In the 4-hour chart, a bearish 20 SMA converges with the mentioned Fibonacci resistance, while technical indicators remain within negative levels, although lacking directional strength. The overall stance is negative, although little should be expected on this first day of the week.
Support levels: 1.1065 1.1020 1.0980
Resistance levels: 1.1115 1.1150 1.1180

Oni Press does some interesting stuff, to put it mildly.
Like, I think that’s about the only way to introduce Zander Cannon’s Kaijumax.
Kaijumax combines the general goofiness of giant monster stories with the standard prison drama cliches. Our entry to this world is probably new inmate Electrogor, who, despite his name, seems to lack any and all electrical powers. Electrogor was captured doing the sorts of things giant monsters always do, but now he’s mostly worried about his two kids, left behind when he went out looking for food. As a single parent, he probably should be concerned.
Essentially, the story follows the premise that after years of doing otherwise, one day humanity developed the means to bring down various giant monsters. Afterwards, the monsters were all sentenced to the Kaijumax prison, where apparently escape is impossible.
I’m assuming that. The book doesn’t really go into why, for example, winged monsters don’t just fly away. There’s a mention of a potentially island-wide forcefield by the book’s end, but that’s about it.
On the island, the monsters split into gangs and do the sorts of things you expect from a prison drama, such as find religion, engage in contraband trade, work out, and occasionally get abused by crooked guards. The guards all have the ability to become giant-sized Power-Ranger type fighters, and the warden dwarfs even the largest monsters. One guard, Gupta, is on the take and selling drugs to inmates in the form of smokestacks, virgin princesses, and uranium when he can get it, while also needing to keep the Queen of the Moon’s inmate son alive and off the drugs.
I’m not sure how well this worked. Zander Cannon’s artwork is rather cutesy. Electrogor is a giant yellow grasshopper with a pair of baby-blue eyes. He looks less like a dangerous monster and more like a cartoon character. That would be fine if Cannon’s story matched the artwork. But this is a prison drama, so of course there’s a prison rape. It’s not really played for laughs unless you’re the type that thinks its funny when giant monsters are the only ones involved. Cannon also uses a lot of invented slang to stand in for the sorts of words you might normally hear in a story like this, and I’m just not sure how it all works. The series did get better as it went along, but it didn’t grab me. It ended on a high note and Cannon’s characterization largely works, so let’s say eight out of ten giant goat-men.
NEXT BOOK: Normally, this would be where I’d end the month’s Bento reviews, but Comic Bento sent an extra book for the whole “giant Titans” theme. It’s a magazine-style reprint of five issues of the 70s Marvel superteam The Champions whose original line-up has to be the craziest line-up they could have come up with. Be back for that soon. | <urn:uuid:867087c3-9da8-406a-b57d-a78382f5c436> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.gabbinggeek.com/2016/12/02/bento-review-kaijumax/ | 2024-04-18T14:10:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.950889 | 683 |

Rockstar Games has unveiled yet another trailer for upcoming crime drama L.A. Noire. This time the trailer shows off the “A Slip of the Tongue” traffic case exclusively offered at Wal-Mart.
The trailer is shorter than most that have come before it but once again shows off the game’s amazing MotionScan technology. It also shows how a little slip from someone you question and catching said mistake can turn a simple car theft investigation into a confrontation meriting a shootout.
Wal-Mart won’t the only store getting exclusive content for the game, as Rockstar announced last month that GameStop, Amazon, Best Buy, and Target will also be receiving either DLC or another type of special offer.
L.A. Noire is set for a May 17 release for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Milkman Alan Smith was left surprised and concerned when he spotted a homeless man sleeping at a war memorial.
He was so worried that after a quick word with the mystery man, who claimed to be "the mayor", the 54-year-old called police.
But to his surprise Cleveland Police officers were able to put his mind at rest and confirm the man wasn't a confused vagrant but he was indeed Loftus mayor Barry Hunt who was spending 11 nights at 11 war memorials in honour of servicemen and woman.
Alan was doing the rounds in Skelton with his son Jack, 17, on Friday when he spotted the strange sight at the war memorial.
He said: "I didn't realise who it was."
The pair went back to him and gave him £10, a bottle of milk, and some orange juice.
"He's got a lot of bottle to sit there," Alan told Teesside Live.
The mayor started his ultimate challenge on Halloween - October 31 - and each night has slept out under the stars at a different Redcar and Cleveland war memorial to raise money for, and awareness of, armed forces charity SSAFA.
Helping keep 70-year-old Barry warm were two blankets, including a quilted poppy one made by Cody McKay-Hutchinson and another, co-ordinated by Brotton Improvement Group, with contributions from across East Cleveland.
On Thursday, Andrew Fulton, general manager at ICL Boulby, went to the Skelton Cenotaph to hand over a cheque for £250.
Afterwards he said: "It gives me great pleasure to boost such a worthwhile cause that Councillor Hunt has chosen to promote. It is just a small token of our appreciation for the sacrifices that have been made down through the years by members of the armed forces.”
Councillor Hunt added: "I have been overwhelmed by the support given to me by the local communities.
"The other night more than 20 people were waiting for me when I arrived and offered cups of tea and coffee and food.
"I couldn’t take them because I don’t have access to toilet facilities but the generosity was fantastic."

Whether you are walking down the street, taking public transport, or among a large group of people, there is something that you may notice. Most people are hooked up to earphones or headphones. These days, you will be hard pressed to find someone who is not listening to music via their phones, mp3 players, or iPods.
This is quite understandable when you are at the heights of civilization. All of this changes, however, when you head to the great outdoors. All of a sudden, you realize that you might have to forgo your music, at least for a couple of days. This is because you do not have access to the same technology when you are out camping in the woods. Of course, if you are like most audiophiles, this simply will not do. You need your music.
Listening to music is not just a way to isolate yourself, however. No, it is also a way for friends and family to come together and enjoy each other’s company. Without music playing in the background, it just does not have the same effect. Well, if you are considering going camping but do not really want to give up your music privileges, here are some things that you can do:
Nature Friendly Headphones
Okay, so there aren’t headphones that are directly tailored for camping. There are, however, plenty of headphones made for athletic and sport use that really fit the bill. What you need to look for is something that is light and comfortable, but with high quality of sound. Some additional features to look out for are headphones or earphones that are sweat and water resistant.These really will make all the difference, and Mpow will do. You should make sure, nonetheless, not to get headphones that are completely noise cancelling. After all, you want to be able to notice any animals stalking you in the woods.
Speakers for a Group
If you want to sit around a fire sans a guitar, then you are going to need a good set of speakers. If there are only a few of you and you do not want the sound to carry, Bluetooth speakers (hyper link: http://amzn.to/2cmVNoc) will work just fine. However, you might want to pick one that is hardier so that it lasts the trip. For a larger gathering, you are going to require something that is a little more powerful. In this instance, you will be better off with a battery powered speaker system. The battery will last longer and it will also produce more sound.
The truth is that it is very difficult to imagine camping without music. The experience really would not be the same. This does not mean that you have to give up your favourite pastime, however. You just have to get creative about how you listen to your music. | <urn:uuid:5375f93c-6283-43dd-ac76-abc4a4069330> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.gearfuse.com/camping-life-without-music/ | 2024-04-18T15:11:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.974064 | 577 |
Special Report: From the Sets
Hidden in the Adirondack Mountains, you will find the most unlikely of Star Trek tourist attractions. Nestled in an old storefront in downtown Ticonderoga, New York, is a complete reproduction of the standing sets from the original series.
Standing sets are sets built for regular use on a TV series. In Seinfeld, the Monk’s Diner or Jerry’s apartment are examples of standing sets. While other sets are purpose built for specific episodes, in the Seinfeld example, this would include Newman’s apartment.
For the original Star Trek TV series, these standing sets would include the bridge, engineering, sickbay, transporter room crew quarters, briefing room, and the ship’s corridors to name a few.
In 1964 when the first of these standing sets were built, they represented both a significant financial investment for a television pilot. A significant design accomplishment for a TV production at the time. Most TV shows of this still early television era utilized Hollywood’s many existing sets. Sets of homes, offices and their interiors were readily available for lease particularly for use in pilots where full production money was not yet committed. Star Trek was a considerable departure for television production in the mid 60s. Almost everything in Gene Roddenberry’s universe would need to be built from scratch.
The original interior sets were designed by Matt Jefferies, the show’s set designer. Jefferies had considerable background in the military serving in WWII as a flight test engineer. In addition to his military experience, Jefferies was a member of the Aviation Space Writers’ Association and American Aviation Historical Society. One of his many hobbies was to own and restore WWII aircraft. All of his considerable skill and knowledge brought believability and credibility to his designs and to the ambitious TV series. The original bridge layout was so authentic that the US Navy master communications center at the NAS in San Diego is said to have been influenced by Jefferies’ design.
While photos of the original set layout and set structures exist, the original sets first built on the Desilu, later Paramount Pictures lot, have long been lost to time. Many fans over the years have built sets or parts of the sets, but only 2 groups have built them all. I can think of no higher testament of the enduring affection for a television show than to spend thousands of dollars of your own money recreating sets of a fictional TV show.
Cosplay on steroids!
One such super-fan James Cawley first started building his recreations over 13 years ago to serve as the backdrop to his popular fan film series Star Trek Phase 2, later renamed Star Trek: New Voyages. The fan series was intended to pick up where the original series ended. Rounding out the original 5-year mission and leading to events intended in a planned follow-up series set to be called Star Trek: Phase II in the mid-1970s. This canceled series end up as Star Trek: The Motion Picture. In total, 10 full-length fan episodes were filmed – many featuring original Star Trek actors. The plot devices used to account for the age difference were inventive and fun. Both George Takei and Walter Koenig’s appearances are quite memorable.
Over the years, these sets were improved, rebuilt, moved to where they currently reside in Ticonderoga, New York. Facing increased restrictions on fan film productions, James Cawley struck a deal with CBS as part of the 50th-anniversary celebrations to open the sets to the public as a studio-licensed tour experience.
In late April, I personally had the privilege to fulfill a lifetime dream to walk the halls of the USS Enterprise.
The tour starts in one of the corridors just left of the Transporter room, down the hall from sickbay. Taking roughly an hour to complete the tour guide was happy to let us linger in each set. The tour concludes on the bridge.
The bridge, complete and real. I’ll let that linger and sink in for all the classic Star Trek fans for a moment.
After being denied access to handle the many buttons and chairs throughout the tour, the guide did allow us a photo op in the captain’s chair.
Bucket list: Captain’s Chair – check.
The sets are impressive and highly detailed. James Cawley and his team have made considerable effort to include every detail, every label, every button. Including a few surprises that we only imagined were part of the original sets. Things like working computer monitors and displays that regularly updated with screen inspired detail. This detail was fully intended as part of the original set design but proved too expensive to maintain on a weekly series.
When you visit, be sure to ask how big the main view screen is. (For your own recreation, of course). Hint: you can now buy a flat screen television in this size now.
As impressive as the bridge was, and it was, the most immersive for me was to stand within those recreated corridors and halls. Looking left, right in front and behind you see nothing but the ship, the rooms so familiar just behind each door. Everywhere you looked, you were there… you were on the ship.
The bridge was missing the 4th wall where the cameras, lights, and crew would be located, just as they would have been on the original sets. Because of this, some of that interactive immersion was missing from the experience. This was not the case in the corridors. The illusion was complete and fully immersive, right down to the lighting effects seen on the show.
Tours are ongoing through the summer, or if there are any tickets left, book a special tour during a special mini-festival called “Trekonderoga” and let Nichelle Nichols or Walter Koenig or other Star Trek alumni be your tour guide.

Publisher DANGEN Entertainment and developer Ernest Placido Games have announced Shin Megami Tensei-inspired RPG Pry Into The Void for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Steam). The PC version is scheduled to launch in 2024. A demo is available now.
Here is an overview of the game, via DANGEN Entertainment:
Pry Into The Void is a bleak RPG where the player must pry into the hearts of monsters, converse with their souls, and navigate challenging moral dilemmas to recruit them as allies in order to exploit enemy weaknesses. Inspired by the Shin Megami Tensei series, it is the first entry in Project: Retched Garden, a collection of monster-taming RPGs where the world dies and the flowers scream.
In a world of decay, you play as Josef, a young man who has been thrust into the depths of the Void to defeat the vile being that has been draining the world of its life. With the ability to pry into the hearts of monsters, he must gain allies who will assist him on his descent. Players experience a branching narrative that seeks to explore the personal morals of in-game characters and their own. How will their decisions affect how Josef sees the world?
- Engage in a challenging and rewarding turn-based combat system where you build the perfect party composition and exploit enemy weaknesses and status conditions, inspired by games such as Shin Megami Tensei and Pokemon.
- Converse, negotiate and solve moral dilemmas with the souls of monsters to recruit them—a unique scenario for each monster!
- Follow a bleak and depraved story that will challenge the way you think about each character. Make choices to affect how you see these characters. Can you truly judge a person as binary good or evil?
- Discover multiple endings as you pry your way into the Void. The path to your ending will depend on your own personal morals.
- Replay the game in Blind Prophet Mode, a mode that makes the game more difficult with more permanent gameplay decisions—inspired by popular rules for other monster-taming games (e.g. Nuzlocke).
- Rock out to key music tracks composed and produced by Jun Mitsui.

It is best to park near the former Winslow Fish and Wildlife Management Area gun range off of Piney Hollow Road. (The gun range was closed aprrox. 2009). Follow the un-named sand road to the north until you spot the blue dots trail which will guide your way to the hole. It is not necessary to walk into the woods just follow the road and paths.
The container is now an ammo box placed at the original coordinates. Hide the cache well after you find it to avoid muggles.
NOTE: The place is full of ticks. Make sure you spray yourself with bug spray containing Deet before you venture into the woods-Deep Woods Off will work fine. Wear long pants and long sleeves to protect you against the brush and ticks. It is also very important to check for ticks before you leave and when you get home.
There is light bushwhacking at the end of this trip the cache is located behind the hole on the right hand side (SW).
A word of warning: Be careful when walking on the sandy roadways some people like to fly down the roadway in 4x4s, motorcycles and 4 wheelers. Also, since it is a Wildlife Management Area check the hunting seasons and wear orange or bright colored clothing while out exploring. WMA regs state that "Wildlife Management Areas are closed from 9 p.m. until 5 a.m. unless engaged in lawful hunting, fishing or trapping activities. "
The Blue Hole Legend
The legend of Blue Hole was rediscovered recently by a group of old timers in South Jersey. The hole was inaccessible for over 40 years when a flood washed out a bridge over a river and locals soon forgot about the blue swimming hole. Recently the local group found another way to access the hole from East Piney Hollow Road and mapped out a trail and blazed it with blue trail markers.
The Legend states that a meteor hitting the earth created the Blue Hole. Locals say it is bottomless and is where the Jersey Devil drinks water for refreshment, swims and also uses it as a bathtub on a regular basis. Years ago it was said that a group of engineers and scientists brought a large crane to the site and dropped a large weight on steel cable and never hit the bottom of the hole when they ran out of cable.
Parents warned their children never to swim in the hole because if you did the Jersey Devil would pull you to the bottom. A logical explanation would be that since the Blue Hole is spring fed from cold underground springs swimmers would actually cramp up and it would feel like they were being pulled to the bottom. The water temperature of the Blue Hole is said to be in the 50s to 60s even in the hottest part of the summer. The hole is not bottomless because I can see its sandy bottom from the surface. It is reported that the sandy bottom is similar in texture to quicksand. Maybe the hole was a lot deeper years ago and erosion has filled the hole somewhat.” | <urn:uuid:2cb01261-eb72-4650-9024-c9adf165cd75> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC2092_the-blue-hole-search-for-the-jersey-devil?pf=&ID=8338&decrypt=y&log= | 2024-04-18T13:06:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.966575 | 613 |
Essentials of Estate Planning for New Parents in Texas
Becoming a parent is a life-changing event that comes with numerous responsibilities, including ensuring your child’s future is secure. As a new parent in Texas, estate planning may not be at the forefront of your mind, but it is crucial to protect your family’s well-being. A Texas lawyer can discuss the essential elements of estate planning that you should consider and help you draft the proper paperwork.
Drafting a Will
A will is the foundation of any estate plan. It allows you to designate how your assets will be distributed upon your death and, most importantly, who will become your child’s guardian. In Texas, passing away without a will (intestate) means that state laws dictate the division of your assets, which might not reflect your personal wishes. By creating a will, you maintain control over your estate and ensure your child’s future is secure.
Choosing a Guardian
One of the most critical aspects of estate planning for new parents is selecting a guardian for your child. This decision should not be taken lightly, as the guardian will be responsible for raising your child if both parents pass away. In selecting a guardian, it’s important to evaluate their values, financial stability, and capacity to offer a nurturing environment. It is also crucial to have a conversation with the prospective guardian to confirm their readiness and ability to assume this significant role.
Establishing a Trust
Setting up a trust can also provide further protection for your child’s future. A trust is a legal entity that holds assets on behalf of a beneficiary, in this case, your child. Establishing a trust lets you specify how and when the assets will be distributed to your child, ensuring their financial needs are met. In Texas, there are several types of trusts available, including revocable and irrevocable trusts, each with its own benefits and drawbacks.
Updating Beneficiary Designations
Many assets, such as life insurance policies and retirement accounts, allow you to name beneficiaries who will receive the funds upon your death. It is crucial to review and update these designations after becoming a parent to ensure your child is included. Neglecting to update your beneficiary designations can result in the distribution of assets according to default provisions, potentially conflicting with your present intentions.
Appointing a Power of Attorney
A power of attorney is a legal instrument that permits you to appoint an individual to manage your financial and healthcare decisions should you become unable to do so. For new parents, it is crucial to establish a power of attorney to guarantee that your child’s needs are addressed in the event you are unable to make decisions on your own. In Texas, two primary forms of power of attorney exist: the Statutory Durable Power of Attorney for financial matters and the Medical Power of Attorney for healthcare decisions.
Reviewing and Updating Your Plan
Estate planning is not a one-time event; it is an ongoing process that should be reviewed and updated regularly, especially after significant life changes like becoming a parent. As your child grows and your financial situation evolves, it is essential to revisit your estate plan to ensure it still reflects your wishes and provides adequate protection for your family.
Contact a San Antonio, TX Estate Planning Lawyer
Estate planning is a critical step for new parents to ensure their child’s future is secure. By drafting a will, choosing a guardian, establishing a trust, updating beneficiary designations, appointing a power of attorney, and regularly reviewing your plan, you can have peace of mind knowing that your family is protected. If you are a new parent, consult with a Bexar County, TX estate planning attorney to discuss your unique situation and create a comprehensive plan tailored to your needs.

Business Problems – Solving Everyday Challenges Using Technology
Ask any goal-driven business owner, and they’ll tell you that their aspiration is always to enhance productivity, save on expenses, and increase sales for improved ROI. However, the path towards realizing this feat isn’t usually rosy as it has its fair share of hurdles and roadblocks. Such business problems as recruiting the right talent, regulation compliance, customer service, etc., define most businesses.
Luckily, there are several technological solutions that business owners can leverage to eliminate or minimize the effects of everyday challenges. In this post, we take a deeper dive at the most prevalent business problems facing small and medium businesses today and provide viable solutions for them. So let’s jump right in!
Delegating tasks is as good as ensuring you get the best possible results for different projects in various business sectors. A business is not the place to play the Jack of all trades, master of none. Nonetheless, and perhaps understandably so, many entrepreneurs are always reluctant to outsource tasks due to an unpleasant previous experience; they always get the exact opposite of what they expected every time they do.
Good news: thanks to technology, there are several independent professional bodies solely dedicated to solving specific business problems. For example, if you have trouble operating and maintaining your IT infrastructure, there are several credible managed service providers like Advantage Industries that you can entrust with running your IT systems on your behalf.
Likewise, if your problem is recruiting and retaining qualified staff, you can partner with an HR firm to handle the function for you. It’s OK if you’re not apt with employment laws, administration, culture, employee engagement and development, etc. A top-rated HR firm will handle these strategic processes for you incredibly because that’s what they went to school for.
Time Management (Poor Response Times)
Ask yourself, if your workplace computers were to break down or get compromised in the middle of a business day, would you have the problem remediated promptly and resume operations? If the answer is NO, then that’s a sign you need to take action. Hire an IT services company – before the risk occurs.
Surprisingly, many businesses (whose operations depend on computer systems) don’t have a candid IT department they can consult in case of a network outage or similar issues. That’s probably understandable for small businesses because maintaining an on-premise IT infrastructure is overly expensive.
However, simply having one guy that you call when your IT systems breakdown is entirely unacceptable. What if your “guy” is busy at the moment and needs a day or two to clear his schedule? Even worse, imagine the IT guy shows up after two days, looks through the computers, and sees it fit that you need new hardware altogether. Your staff has been unproductive all this time, remember. And considering the current pandemic environment, it may take up to 90 days just to order business computers.
So why expose yourself to all these inconveniences and potential loss of business? When you can simply contract a managed IT service provider at a fraction of the cost. You want to consider making that move because an IT support company will be at your service 24/7. Eliminating any business interruptions through quick response times. And another thing, outsourcing IT ensures that the likelihood of such attacks as ransomware, phishing, or malware is exceptionally minimal. And if they occur, your MSP will have you up and running in a few hours.
The other challenge that most businesses struggle with today is complying with laws and requirements set by state, federal, and local businesses. Non-compliance is usually highly costly as it leads to hefty fines and penalties, or worse, closure/suspension of business.
For example, suppose your business handles or processes cardholder data, e.g., primary account number, service code, or cardholder name. In that case, you must comply with PCI-DSS regulations meant to reduce credit card fraud. Other industry regulations that may apply to your business include NIST, HIPAA, GDPR, CMMS, and more.
As you may be aware, the regulatory compliance maintenance process and reporting is a very time-intensive process yet an extremely costly one if you ignore it. However, since it doesn’t contribute to the bottom line directly, it’s wise to delegate the compliance and consulting services to a professional company like Advantage Industries to do all the groundwork.
The best part about outsourcing compliance is that you’ll enjoy an ongoing service to ensure that you’re always on the right side of the law. Your partner will continually update your manual policy, network security and submit regulatory updated reports.
Creating a Business Growth Strategy
Many businesses want to grow by expanding their portfolio, customer base, product lines, and opening new branches. But not all of them have a clear-cut roadmap for achieving that growth. There are several challenges you might face as you attempt to climb up the ladder, and without a definitive growth plan, you might stumble right back to where it all began.
The most crucial step for overcoming the bottlenecks is ensuring that today’s choices don’t create further problems tomorrow. This comes with the need for effective leadership to maximize opportunities, enabling sustainable future growth. And the best way to achieve growth is to approach it organically, i.e., one customer at a time, one team at a time, one product line at a time, etc.
But even as you do so, you must consider your employees as they are the most significant drivers of that desired growth. You need to ask yourself: what’s their opportunity to keep working for your business? Will your company’s growth provide an opportunity for your employees to grow as well? If that’s not the case, then you need to remodel your strategy because one cannot do without the other.
In essence, the best business growth plan should factor in the following attributes:
- Welcoming to change. That your previous model brought tremendous growth and revenue doesn’t mean that’s always going to be the case. You should revisit and update it regularly to accommodate changing market conditions.
- Future-oriented. Again, there’s no guarantee that what worked for your business today will work tomorrow.
- The right systems. You can’t steer growth without adept financial records, regulatory compliance, employee empowerment platform, etc.
- Problem-solving. As your business grows, it’s not uncommon to face new challenges that need urgent resolution. Instead of treating each problem as a one-off situation, you want to develop structures and systems that make it easier to solve or avoid similar challenges going forward.
Hopefully, this blog was insightful, and it opened your eyes to resolve common business problems we are facing today. Such business problems as outsourcing tasks, complying with regulations, steering business growth, and effective time management only need competent leadership, employee empowerment & training, and leveraging of technology solutions.

The biggest crypto heist of 2023 struck the investors
Investment in crypto-assets is unregulated, may not be suitable for retail investors and the entire amount invested may be lost. It is important to read and understand the risks of this investment, which are explained in detail here.
On a fateful Sunday, Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency company Mixin fell victim to a devastating breach, and the result of the Mixin hack incident is approximately $200 million.
The breach occurred on September 23, 2023, in the early hours of Hong Kong time, when hackers targeted the database of Mixin Network's cloud service provider. This cyberattack prompted the company to take immediate action.
Mixin announced on its social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, that as a security measure, it had temporarily suspended deposit and withdrawal services on the Mixin Network. The company emphasized its commitment to resolving the vulnerabilities that led to the breach. They also initiated an investigation by enlisting the support of Google and the crypto security firm SlowMist.
See the company's announcement on the Mixin hack incident below.
[Announcement] In the early morning of September 23, 2023 Hong Kong time, the database of Mixin Network's cloud service provider was attacked by hackers, resulting in the loss of some assets on the mainnet. We have contacted Google and blockchain security company @SlowMist_Team…

How did the Mixin hack happen?
Mixin, known for its decentralized exchange and cross-chain network, boasts an open and transparent decentralized ledger maintained by 35 mainnet nodes. Despite its commitment to security and decentralization, the breach left many questions unanswered regarding how hackers managed to compromise the system.
Google confirmed its involvement in the incident response through its subsidiary Mandiant. However, neither Mixin nor SlowMist provided immediate comments from multiple sources on the Mixin hack situation.
0xScope has described how the Mixin hack happened as follows:
An address connected to the recent $200M @MixinKernel #hack received 5 $ETH from the platform last year and deposited 5.9 $ETH on #Binance soon after.
Also, the hacker then swapped $USDT for $DAI to avoid being frozen.

How will the Mixin hack be compensated?
Although it was initially promised that Mixin founder Feng Xiaodong would announce this Mixin hack incident in a public Mandarin live stream on September 25 at 13:00 Hong Kong time, links to the live stream were not provided on official social media channels such as X (formerly Twitter) or on the official website mixin.network.
However, according to PANews' report, regarding the stolen assets, the official said that the current maximum compensation is 50%, and the remaining part will be paid in the form of bond tokens. This means that if you have an investment in the platform, it will take time to fully recover your loss. | <urn:uuid:6933516d-ea0c-44fb-b6e9-7f513b36c4ac> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.ghacks.net/2023/09/26/how-did-the-mixin-hack-happen/ | 2024-04-18T13:00:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.958838 | 657 |

Things you need to know.
- St Patrick’s Day – but Markets are RED not Green
- T-8 hrs until the clock strikes 2 pm
- 10 yr treasuries ticking UP in early trade
- Global markets await…
- It’s all about DOTS
- Try the Corned Beef and Cabbage
Happy St Patrick’s Day –
Drum roll please………oh it is so exciting….T- 8 hours…..until Fed Chair Jay Powell opens the door and enters the room….taking to the podium in an attempt to ‘walk the line’….in fact ‘walk the fine line’…..as global investors hang in the balance…..not knowing if the status quo today will be the status quo tomorrow….reminding us all of the one and only Johnny Cash…..as he sings –
“As sure as night is dark and day is light…I keep you on my mind both day and night….and happiness I’ve known proves that it’s right… because you’re mine…. I WALK THE LINE….”
And walking the line is exactly what Jay Jay must do……in fact – he must convince everyone that the current plan IS the plan no matter what happens…. That he will remain steadfast even IF the economy begins to heat up…….and it will heat up….and so my friends that is the challenge for today…. And now –
The Dot Plot! Close your eyes and take yourself back to 4th grade math…. recall your favorite 4th grade teacher – mine was Mrs. Greenwood – when she introduced the idea of the dot plot. The dot plot is a simple form of ‘data visualization’ and all you do is create your data point (dot) and put it on a graph – with an X & Y axis….it’s simple, does not need a complicated computer program or app – all you need is a #2 pencil and some graph paper….(I’m not sure that any of that actually exists any longer….I mean – Do Gen Zer’s even know what a #2 pencil is????) Remember how you could only take a test with a #2 pencil?? What a great memory that is….it represents such a simpler, less complicated, innocent time….)
Ok – back to yesterday……It was a game of musical chairs…. Stocks changed position…. The Dow, S&P’s, Russell, and Transports all ended the day lower while the Nasdaq ended higher – eking out an 11-pt. gain……all this as the 10 yr. rose to end the day at 1.6197%.
Yesterday’s economic data disappointed – many analysts were quick to blame the massive snowstorm that swept across the country and knocked Texas offline for days while impacting a host of states in the storms path that stretched all the way up to New England…. – retail sales were off a whopping 3% vs. the -0.5% expectation….and ex food and energy it was off 3.3%….Industrial Production which was expected to be +0.3% came in at -2.2%, again it is curious when compared the latest PMI Manufacturing reports – which show strength…..Capacity Utilization of 73.8% below the expected 75.5% rate…..so the conflicting macro data caused investors and markets to pause and that is ok – as the focus remains squarely on the Fed.
Declines in energy, financials, industrials, retailers, materials, and consumer discretionary all sending the broader market lower. While tech, consumer staples, communications and utilities ended the day in the green.
In the end – the action yesterday was driven purely by speculation about today – period. Loose monetary policy for the last 12 years, near zero interest rates, a flood of cash that keeps washing over the market, rising interest rates on the 10 yr. Treasury, rising inflationary pressures, massive stimulus spending by the gov’t with even more promised in the months ahead, $1400 checks being deposited into bank accounts across the country and now talk of increasing corp taxes, wealth taxes, capital gains taxes, to rates not seen since 1993 only adding to the angst…..all as the world comes to grips with a stubborn virus that refuses to give up while vaccines attempt to stall the spread……
SPACs are you kidding…. that is a whole other story that has yet to be written……The latest victim – RIDE – lost 6% yesterday bringing its loss to 53% off its February high as news hits the tape that an ongoing investigation into the company suggests that they have issued false or misleading statements or has failed to disclose pertinent information to investors…. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy….
And in the middle of all this – is a surging stock market…. right? Because in the end we are much closer to all time highs than not…….Everything is feeding of the fact that investors expect and in fact we are experiencing a ‘huge recovery’ ….and while it is far from over – all you have to do is wake up and you can feel the energy building….you can feel the recovery in your bones….and you can’t wait for that 4th of July family BBQ that Joey told us we ‘might’ be able to have…
Eco data today away from the FOMC is all about housing…Housing starts expected to be down 1.3%, Building permits -7.2% – all while the average 30 yr. fixed rate mortgage is approaching 3.4% and that is up from 2.875% only a month ago…. or an 18% rise in 30 yr. rates….and likely to only go higher if Jay Powell cannot convince investors that he is in control…. – this is KEY.
Yesterday after the bell – Lennar Home Builders posted a better-than-expected earnings report – despite a drop in new orders……….and saw its shares rise in the post trading session….
– Lennar CEO – Stuey Miller – told us that he sees no problem in rising home prices – and is happy to slap price increases on a Lennar home because there is plenty of money floating around, and covid 19 has caused a surge in savings and years of underbuilding has created a supply chain shortage but the real reason he is happy to slap price increases is because the cost of building a home has soared…..….Lumber is now up 30% since January alone and is up 100% since late October…..but don’t worry – there isn’t any inflation….the chart shows us nothing….the fact that lumber futures which were trading at $500 in October and are now trading at $1000 is a myth….Nothing to see here….move on…….So at the moment he does not appear to be concerned about rising mortgage rates….but that story is far from over…because as the economy heats up, and inflation heats up and the long end of the treasury market heats up – then expect 30 yr. mortgages to heat up…..and that will at some point bring the surging home prices to a halt….and when all of those people who are on the fence right now – expecting prices to be higher tomorrow realize that the party is over – then watch how many homes come on the market for sale…..and so the pendulum will swing in the opposite direction….. And don’t get me started on NFT” s (non-fungible tokens).
Ok – so back to the FED since that is what will consume us…..all eyes will be on the Dot Plot…..and this sophisticated analysis shows the projection for the Fed Funds Rate – the short term rate that affects savings and consumer loan rates…Each dot represents a rate that each FED member is projecting at the end of the year shown on the X axis…with the rate on the Y axis…..in the end the markets typically focus on the median dot……so get ready…the 10 yr. Treasury is trading up this morning at 1.639%….. suggesting what? Yup…. come on, you know….
So, we await the 2 pm press conference. Expect Jay to be dovish as he always is, but understand that there is a faction of professionals that suggest he could indicate that rates could rise before January 2023 because of new economic data…and this has the ability to send tremors through the stock market…..and expect him to remind us that the inflation rate calculation that he is using is now a ‘modified’ calculation which allows him to let inflation run HOT without any concerns….Or at least that is what he will try to convince us of…..in the end the market will decide what it heard vs. what he said….Capisce?
This morning US futures are churning in place…. Dow futures are up 30 pts, the S&P ‘s is down 3 pts, the Nasdaq off by 40 pts and the Russell is down 3 pts.
European markets are all down….as the clock ticks…..and investors there attempt to speculate on what the FED will do….and again – all expectations are for no change in rates……but the conversation about the future is unclear…and so investors there are hitting the sell button this morning…In addition there is more Astra Zeneca news – more countries halting the distribution of this vaccine -sending Drs. into a frenzy as they suggest this whole blood clot thing is a big overreaction. Again, the WHO (World health Org) insists that the vaccine is safe – so now you can decide what you think. At 6 am – the FTSE -0.31%, CAC 40 -0.13%, DAX flat, EUROSTOXX -0.12%, SPAIN -0.46% and ITALY +0.11%.
Oil – is off again today on more renewed lockdown concerns across Europe all while demand in the US and the rest of the world remains strong. US crude inventories fell by 1 million barrels last week helping to stem the selloff. Ok great…. Oil remains in the $60/$65 range….
Bitcoin – is trading at $55,000 and Ethereum is at $1765.
The S&P closed at 3962 after inching higher and testing a new intraday high at 3981 before backing off…. Once again inching closer to the channel trendline at 4040 – there is still plenty of reasons to think we will test lower in the days ahead….and today is one of them…. Any sense that the tone has changed at all will leave stocks vulnerable to another pullback – the extent of which should not be a crash, but more of another round of re-pricing that will take some of the fluff out. We remain in the broader 3770/4040 channel – any move lower should find support at the century mark – 3900.
Stick to the plan, do not chase, trim where necessary and put money to work when its right….and that may not be today……and that is ok.

Ah, maskne. It’s the word no one expected to be a part of their vocabulary, but a topic that’s very much on many people’s minds in recent years as wearing face coverings has become a part of daily life.
If you’ve been struggling with breakouts or congested pores from your mask and are wondering what you can do to troubleshoot this issue, you’re going to want to keep reading. We’re sharing our favourite skin tips and product picks that can help support your skin!
What causes maskne? For keeping mask acne at bay, it can first be helpful to understand why it happens. While there are a number of factors at play when wearing a mask, the major issue is trapped oil, dirt, and bacteria.
Most face coverings are designed to cling tightly to your face, this leads to these common acne culprits being in close quarters with the skin and working their way into your pores as a result. Then, when you add in the sweat and humidity factors associated with long-term wear, it can create the perfect storm for breakouts and overall irritated, unhappy skin.
This is the bad news, but the good news is that there are things you can do to prevent and treat maskne:
How to support your skin before, during, and after wearing a mask:
● Before you mask - Prior to masking up, remember that cleanliness is key. Choose a new disposable mask or freshly-washed face (fragrance free laundry soap) covering to ensure that no bacteria or other debris is lingering from the day before. You’ll also want to wash your face with a gentle, fragrance free cleanser, apply lightweight hydrating products for protecting the skin’s barrier, and opt for minimal to no makeup in areas that will be covered up.
● While wearing a mask - Throughout the day, if you have the option to change out your mask for a fresh one, this can be especially helpful for keeping your skin clean and preventing a buildup of unwanted irritants. You might also consider refreshing your skin at intervals with a hydrating toner like our Balancing Facial Toner, which contains skin-calming Aloe, Tea Tree floral water to target surface bacteria, and Niacinamide, a natural anti-inflammatory to help strengthen the protective skin barrier.
● Simply, spray the skin under your mask every 3-4 hours and let dry before putting your mask back on.
● After you mask - Last but not least, aftercare is an important aspect of maskne prevention and you’ll need to treat yourself to some proper products post-mask. Remembering that stress is also an enemy to the skin, we suggest taking 10 minutes before 9pm to enjoy your nighttime skincare rituals, followed by a weekly skincare mask like our Restore Exfoliating Mask. This gentle exfoliation treatment is the perfect antidote to struggling skin because it features antioxidant rich Green Tea Extract and Rhassoul clay to help remove surface congestion and to provide your skin with some much-needed TLC. | <urn:uuid:a520a36a-c0db-4555-903c-b0496c0bac73> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.glowjar.ca/fr/blogs/news/still-dealing-with-maskne-in-2022-our-guide-to-caring-for-your-skin-before-during-and-after-masking-up | 2024-04-18T13:52:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.941795 | 643 |

Not sure what to get the SF fan in your life this holiday? We’ve got some brilliant books that we know will make their holidays merry and bright. From far future adventures to mysteries, roadtrips, romance, dreamhacking and cutting edge SF, these are the books to gift this season.
A dazzling new science fiction novel from the multiple award winning author of Something Coming Through.
The great geoengineering projects have failed.
The world is still warming, sea levels are still rising, and the Antarctic Peninsula is home to Earth’s newest nation, with life quickened by ecopoets spreading across valleys and fjords exposed by the retreat of the ice.
Austral Morales Ferrado, a child of the last generation of ecopoets, is a husky: an edited person adapted to the unforgiving climate of the far south, feared and despised by most of its population. She’s been a convict, a corrections officer in a labour camp, and consort to a criminal, and now, out of desperation, she has committed the kidnapping of the century. But before she can collect the ransom and make a new life elsewhere, she must find a place of safety amongst the peninsula’s forests and icy plateaus, and evade a criminal gang that has its own plans for the teenage girl she’s taken hostage.
Blending the story of Austral’s flight with the fractured history of her family and its role in the colonisation of Antarctica, Austral is a vivid portrayal of a treacherous new world created by climate change, and shaped by the betrayals and mistakes of the past.
‘One of the best post-climate change novels yet written’ – SFX
‘A vivid example of science fiction at its best’ – Kim Stanley Robinson
The War of the Worlds, the best alien invasion novel ever written, gets a superb sequel from the man who knows Wells’ work best, the author of the official sequel to The Time Machine.
It has been 14 years since the Martians invaded England. The world has moved on, always watching the skies but content that we know how to defeat the Martian menace. Machinery looted from the abandoned capsules and war-machines has led to technological leaps forward. The Martians are vulnerable to earth germs. The Army is prepared.
So when the signs of launches on Mars are seen, there seems little reason to worry. Unless you listen to one man, Walter Jenkins, the narrator of Wells’ book. He is sure that the Martians have learned, adapted, understood their defeat.
He is right.
Thrust into the chaos of a new invasion, a journalist – sister-in-law to Walter Jenkins – must survive, escape and report on the war.
The Massacre of Mankind has begun.

But in London 2022, her skill is in demand. And when she is hired by a minor celebrity – who also happens to be the new girlfriend of Charlie’s lamented ex – who dreams of a masked Creeper then sleepwalks off a tall building, Charlie begins to realise that someone else might be able to invade dreams…
**One of Financial Times’ Best Books of 2017**
An action-packed post-apocalyptic thriller from the critically acclaimed author, screenwriter, and noted film critic.
Humankind is extinct. Wiped out in a global uprising by the very machines made to serve them. Now the world is controlled by One World Intelligences – vast mainframes that have assimilated the minds of millions of robots.
But not all robots are willing to cede their individuality, and Brittle – a loner and scavenger, focused solely on survival – is one of the holdouts.
Only, individuality comes at a price, and after a near-deadly encounter with another AI, Brittle is forced to seek sanctuary. Not easy when an OWI has decided to lay siege to the nearest safe city.
Critically damaged, Brittle has to hold it together long enough to find the essential rare parts to make repairs – but as a robot’s CPU gradually deteriorates, all their old memories resurface. For Brittle, that means one haunting memory in particular . . .
Sea of Rust boldly imagines a future in which no hope should remain, and yet a humanlike AI strives to find purpose among the ruins.

Four hundred years in the future, the most dangerous criminals are kept in suspended animation aboard prison ships and “rehabilitated” in a shared virtual reality environment. But Miska Corbin, a thief and hacker with a background in black ops, has stolen one of these ships, the Hangman’s Daughter, and made it her own. Controlled by explosive collars and trained in virtual reality by the electronic ghost of a dead marine sergeant, the thieves, gangsters, murderers, and worse are transformed into Miska’s own private indentured army: the Bastard Legion. Are the mercenaries just for fun and profit, or does Miska have a hidden purpose connected to her covert past?
From Darkest Skies is a high-concept science fiction thriller wrapped around a love story, a man’s search for the truth about his dead wife, and his relationship with the artificial intelligence he has built to replace her. Set in a future where the aliens came, waged war, and then vanished again, this is a striking new voice in science fiction.
After a five year sabbatical following the tragic death of his wife and fellow agent Alysha, Keon Rause returns to the distant colony world of Magenta to resume service with the Magentan Intelligence Service. With him he brings an artificial recreation of his wife’s personality, a simulacrum built from every digital trace she left behind. She has been constructed with one purpose – to discover the truth behind her own death – but Keon’s relationship with her has grown into something more, something frighteningly dependent, something that verges on love.
Cashing in old favours, Keon uses his return to the Service to take on a series of cases that allow him and the artificial Alysha to piece together his wife’s last days. His investigations lead him inexorably along the same paths Alysha followed five years earlier, to a sinister and deadly group with an unhealthy fascination for the unknowable alien Masters; but as the wider world of Magenta is threatened with an imminent crisis, Keon finds himself in a dilemma: do his duty and stand with his team to expose a villainous crime, or sacrifice them all for the truth about his wife?

Crosstalk is a smart, brilliant and endearing romantic comedy comparable to Sliding Doors
Briddey is about to get exactly what she thinks she wants . . .
Briddey is a high-powered exec in the mobile phone industry, overseeing new products from concept (‘anything to beat the new apple phone’) to delivery. And she works with her wonderful partner, Trent. They’ve been together for six magical weeks, in a whirlwind of flowers, dinners, laughter and now comes the icing on the cake: not a weekend away or a proposal but something even better. An EDD. A procedure which will let them sense each other’s feelings. Trent doesn’t just want to tell her how much he loves her – he wants her to feel it.
Everything is perfect.
The trouble is, Briddey can’t breathe a word of it to anyone (difficult, when the whole office is guessing) until she’s had two minutes to call her family. And they’re hounding her about the latest family drama, but when they find out about the EDD – which they will – they’ll drop everything to interrogate her. And it might just be easier to have the procedure now and explain later.
Only Apple are poised to deliver an amazing new product and she has to be one step ahead . . . if she can only persuade their tech genius, C. B., to drop his crazy ideas about a ‘privacy phone’ with its ‘do not disturb’ settings, and focus on what people really want: more efficient, instinctive and immediate ways to communicate.
The race is on: not just for new, cutting-edge technology, but also for a shred of privacy in a public world and – for Briddey – a chance for love at the heart of it all.
This is a brilliant, heart-warming romantic comedy from one of the wittiest and wisest of our authors. Written with a light touch and a smile, we’re swept up in Briddey’s romance – and into the difficulties of a world just one technological step away from our own, as technology and social media blur (or indeed remove) the line between personal and public.
An impossible murder. A ticking deadline. A political coup. A Hitchcockian thriller set in a chilling near future.

Alma’s partner is ill, and has to be treated without fail every 4 hours, a task that only Alma can do. If she misses the 5 minute window her lover will die. She is one of the few not to access the Shine.
So when Alma is called to an automated car factory to be shown an impossible death and finds herself caught up in a political coup, she knows that getting too deep may leave her unable to get home.
What follows is a fast-paced Hitchcockian thriller as Alma evades arrest, digs into the conspiracy, and tries to work out how on earth a dead body appeared in the boot of a freshly-made car in a fully-automated factory.

You may be uncomfortable smiling or do not speak as much as you would like because you are embarrassed by the appearance of your teeth. Many people don’t like their misshaped teeth or are unhappy with other parts of their smile, such as gaps between their teeth, misaligned teeth, or broken or chipped teeth. Ceramic veneers are a great solution for these issues and can help you rejuvenate your smile in a short amount of time. Dr. Yolanda Cintron, a holistic dentist in Fort Lauderdale, FL, is highly experienced in helping patients achieve the smile they want with veneers for cosmetic issues.
Veneers are very thin pieces of ceramic that are custom-designed for your mouth. They are fitted onto the top of your teeth and then bonded onto them with an adhesive for an instantaneously improved smile.
With veneers, you can change the appearance of the shape, size, or position of your teeth without expensive, time-consuming, and unsightly orthodontic appliances such as braces.
Veneers are not permanent and do need to be replaced over time, but they last for many years if you provide proper care for your teeth by brushing after meals, flossing every day, and seeing your dentist for regular cleanings and check-ups.
A common cosmetic complaint that people have about their teeth is that they seem too big or too small, or they have one or more teeth that are not the right shape. Your teeth may naturally have an imperfect shape or there may be small chips in your tooth from traumatic injuries or biting down on something that was too hard.
By placing a specially fitted veneer over the teeth, the shape and size of the teeth are instantly improved so that your smile looks natural and balanced.
In addition to misshaped teeth, veneers can correct the following common complaints that people have about the appearance of their teeth:
To get veneers placed on your teeth, you will typically need two visits to the office after consulting with the dentist to make sure they are the best choice for you. In the first visit, the dentist will sand down the enamel on your tooth by about half of a millimeter so that there is room for the veneers to be placed on your teeth. This is necessary so that the veneers do not take up too much extra space in your mouth or affect your bite. Then, the dentist will use a mold to take an impression of your teeth and send it to a lab where the veneers will be custom-made for your mouth.
After the veneers are created, which typically takes about one or two weeks, the dentist will test out the placement and fit of the veneers on your teeth and adjust as needed. Then, your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned and slightly roughened so that the veneers bond better to the surface of your teeth. Then, the dentist will use a dental cement and an ultraviolet light to adhere the veneers to your teeth.
Aside from good daily dental hygiene and regular dental check-ups and cleanings, no special care is needed for veneers. Your teeth may be sensitive at first and your gums may be sore, but these issues should fade over time.
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth when you smile, Dr. Yolanda Cintron and the team at Go Natural Dentistry are here to help. With expertise in veneers and other cosmetic treatments, Dr. Cintron can evaluate your teeth and discuss your desired results to determine the best treatment plan for your specific goals. With the latest technology and materials, Dr. Cintron can custom-design veneers that look beautiful and natural when you smile so you can walk into any situation with confidence.
Dr. Yolanda Cintron's passion for cellular biology and chemistry led her to join The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, where she learned about the safe removal of toxic substances and the body's response to dental materials. She believes that she's God's instrument to get you healthy.
Dr. Cintron graduated from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in 1987 and has gained over 27 years of expertise and 15 years of experience in oral implantology ever since. She is an IV Sedation credentialed and a recognized physician who is a member of several recognized organizations. As a lifelong learner, Dr. Cintron constantly seeks new knowledge and techniques to provide her patients with the most innovative and effective treatments.
Dr. Cintron's patient-centered approach to care means that she puts the needs and well-being of her patients above all else. With her expertise and compassion, she provides the best care possible and strives to help her patients achieve maximum health and wellness. She has cared for hundreds of satisfied patients and looks forward to meeting all your requirements while keeping your trust in safe hands. | <urn:uuid:92896b70-0270-4e37-b000-54ff8b2cce0c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.gonaturaldentistry.com/veneers-for-misshaped-teeth-fort-lauderdale/ | 2024-04-18T13:00:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.958604 | 1,011 |
2015 is becoming the year of the launch of Marketing Automation. Even though it is a concept that originates from years back, and some brands such as Amazon, have already been using it very effectively for years to deliver great customer experiences, the emergence of new tools and cloud services is facilitating the adoption of these technologies in all types of businesses and contributing to their growth.
With the proliferation of technology and new channels, points of contact are increasing and expanding, making it such that data is no longer in one single place, and making it difficult to obtain a complete view of each customer. Without this vision, it is difficult to deliver content that is both relevant and delivered through each customer’s preferred channel in real time.
In addition, many of the systems that store this data are beyond the control of marketing departments, as they are the property of other departments, thus making it difficult to access them. In order overcome these obstacles and eliminate dependence on the IT department, Marketing Automation platforms have come to be; they help marketing departments to plan, coordinate, manage, and measure all of their online and offline campaigns.
Marketing Automation consists of using technology to manage and automate conversion processes, recording and exploiting all defined points of contact in a customer journey, from acquisition to final purchase. For this, different technology platforms are used to enable the automation of the various tasks and workflows involved in customer acquisition, lead management and generation of customized communications across multiple online channels (email, social networks, websites, mobile devices are used etc.). This allows for shorter sales cycles, increases in revenues, and ensures greater ROI for each marketing action.
Until a few years ago, Marketing Automation used to be considered as a form of technology that allowed the possibility to capture leads through online forms, and to send out scheduled bulk emails in a simple way. However, today, the concept has evolved, and current platforms (all in the “Software as a Service” model) allow for more complex actions. The explosion of channels and social media networks; real-time communications; and the need to reduce the sales cycle have resulted in today’s tools incorporating new features that are aimed at solving this need to respond quickly to customers and in a personalized way.
Marketing data centered on lead management
In today’s age, it all begins with the data. Information is knowledge and these tools allow companies to have a centralized place where all interactions and communications with customers and prospects are stored. Additionally, it creates the possibility to identify and assess which users are prepared to, and intend to make a purchase through systems of auto categorization by lead scoring.
By unifying the customer and knowing all their interactions, many of these tools enable companies to automate campaigns by sending relevant messages over time, based on customer behavior; in addition, they can enable lead nurturing as a strategy applied to inbound marketing (Article in Spanish).
Today’s automated communications go beyond simply sending out emails. Through behavioral marketing, we can know each and every one of the interactions that customers have in our channels. Thus, different triggers can be set to deliver a personalized message to each customer, based on their channel preferences and the relevance of the content. In this way, we can communicate with customers through new channels using PUSH notifications, social interactions, or by making various sections on our websites more dynamic, in order to increase engagement with each customer.
Comparison of tools
Advantages: It is among the most highly valued in the B2B sector. It has an aggressive pricing policy and comprehensive training services. In addition, it is made up of a structure of partners and agencies, and is rapidly adapting to the email and B2C context.
Disadvantages: They spend an enormous effort, possibly unbalanced, on sales and marketing, leaving other aspects somewhat neglected. For example, the integration of clients with SFDC is not available.
Advantages: It captures customer behavior through email, mobile applications, web and social environments.
It offers the possibility to easily create landing pages, mail marketing and web forms; to send messages through different channels and to optimize the most suitable. It also has the ability to create custom and automated marketing campaigns, and to create customer-scoring models through their behaviors. You can generate dynamic content based on navigation, to know the route through which each client becomes sold or persuaded by what is being offered, and integrate this with CRM (Microsoft Dynamics) and with available API. It has ability to identify the customer individually, regardless of the channel, and to communicate using different technologies, setting a visual workflow of every touch point along the customer journey.
Disadvantages: There is poor integration with paid media. In its future roadmap however, it appears that this functionality will eventually be integrated, and they already have agreements with Facebook and Twitter.
Advantages: It offers good lead management in multiple channels and in a sophisticated manner. Their earnings reports are the most comprehensive, and additionally, it offers the possibility to integrate SFDC and MSD.
Disadvantages: It is not scalable, from a point where the volume of emails is too large and is somewhat too complex to make the most use out of.
Advantages: This is a service specialized in retail, with a very good reputation in the industry. It has very highly established email capabilities, especially in terms of delivery and scalability. It also has the ability to help with the creation of display adverts.
Disadvantages: Its cost is usually very high and needs of various services for proper and adequate functioning. We identified a lack of support for complex data queries in this tool, and moreover, its operation requires advanced knowledge of SQL programming.
Advantages: This is the leader in high-end retail sector, with strong services and the possibility to choose each one separately. It also offers robust SMS-integrated functionality.
Disadvantages: Its weak point, when focused more on customer service and expertise, is technology: compared with other solutions, it is less flexible and has a lower level of sophistication. In addition, its integration with CRM is not sufficiently robust.
Advantages: It has hosted and on-premise solutions, with a very strong presence in Europe. Usually, it is implemented in business and has both B2B, B2C and positioning services.
Disadvantages: The different solutions are purchased separately, so it has very high prices. Moreover, its partners network is underdeveloped and its integration with CRM is not very robust.
Advantages: It offers native integration with SFCD, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, NetSuite and SugarCRM. Its lead management product has powerful features for the sector in which it is found (small to medium size). It is a good choice for not very large; B2B companies; or those that have SFDC.
Disadvantages: It is positioned more as sales service than as a marketing tool; it does not have enough email functionality and scalability. It is primarily focused on small and medium enterprises.
Advantages: It has powerful email capabilities, ability to perform A/B testing, excellent deliverability, and is scalable. It possesses the capabilities to create SMS messages and mobile notifications (push), has SFDC resources, campaign management features, and finally, has a good customer base and global presence.
Disadvantages: The initial integration with SFCD is not very solid; its services are acquired in a modular way, so that what they teach is sometimes not included in the price. Recently, they have had some complaints about their service and support. They do not offer a complete management of leads or a rating system, and can be complicated to use.

Ever since Tyson Beckford commented on Kim K’s pic that he personally doesn’t care about her newly toned body, the air has been tense. The 37-year-old Kardashian slammed back at the model calling him sis for which she faced serious backlash from fans.

This week saw the publication of my fifth novel – SHAME THE DEVIL, the latest outing for detectives DI Matthew Denning and DS Molly Fisher.
The book begins with a young father being stabbed to death on his doorstep in what looks at first to be a case of mistaken identity. However, once other similar murders follow, Denning and Fisher suspect there could be a connection, and could have something to do with a tragic event from years before.
As well as book 5, the first four books in the series (KNOW NO EVIL, BLOOD FAMILY, THE DARKNESS WITHIN and RUN FOR COVER) are going to be released as an e-book bundle – a single volume that contains all four titles, and will be out on 29 October. Hopefully more Denning and Fisher books will be coming out next year…
In the meantime, I’m currently writing a standalone thriller, set slightly closer to home in East Sussex, and featuring a successful novelist who has suddenly started receiving anonymous death threats. Could this have something to with events from her past? Events she would do anything to keep secret.
On the personal front, this week marks exactly three months since I moved into my new house, which is right next door to our previous address, so we didn’t have far to move. It still managed to cause they odd headache however, but I‘m very happy to finally be settled. I now have a much bigger, brighter office with a gorgeous view of Hastings East Hill (photo below) – what greater incentive do I need for my writing? | <urn:uuid:ca7222c5-6ff8-4183-9c94-399735999f6a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.graemehampton.com/shame-the-devil/ | 2024-04-18T14:48:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.975413 | 324 |
Looking to the future
Graig embarked upon a new shipping venture in 2010 with the creation of Idwal Marine Services,2010 also saw two significant additions to the Graig board when Christopher Hilton and Philip Atkinson were appointed directors. A Newcastle-based specialist maritime lawyer, Chris Hilton has long been associated with Graig as a legal adviser, whilst Phil Atkinson’s appointment as technical director was the culmination of a sea-going career which started on a Tyneside coaster in 1974 when in his teens, later joining Graig as a cadet in 1977.
Looking to the future
As the market picked up somewhat, shipowners once more showed an interest in acquiring new tonnage and Graig reinvigorated its various international partnerships to produce new designs for both bulk and container vessels. In 2012 the Seahorse 35 design of 35,000dwt geared bulk carrier was launched. Essentially a refined and developed version of the Diamond 34, a series of eight vessels was contracted for at the Jiangdong yard in China. The first two were taken by Graig in partnership with the equity arm of ABN AMRO bank in Rotterdam, the next four by CarVal, the shipping division of major world grain house Cargill, whilst the final two were taken by Greek shipping interests.
For those long associated with Graig, it was somehow fitting to see the company once more involved in the ownership of bulk carriers. The two vessels were named Graig Cardiff and Graig Rotterdam; both were registered at Cardiff and carry a full Chinese crew of twenty one. Commercial management of the vessels is provided by the long-established Danish shipowners and managers Lauritzen, where they operate as part of a varied pool of some sixty bulkers of handymax, panamax and kamsarmax sizes. Typical voyages might include fertilisers outward from Europe to Brazil or Argentina, returning with grain, or steel products from Europe to the US Gulf, again returning with grain. Their charters occasionally take them to ports and on voyages that would have been familiar to those chartering Cardiff ships and century and more ago – in the early months of 2014, for instance, the Graig Rotterdam sailed from Odessa with a cargo of maize for part discharge at Belfast, followed by completion of discharge at Glasgow. Needless to say though, this homeward passage had not been preceded by an outward voyage with coal from Barry or Cardiff to the Mediterranean!
Seahorse types Graig Rotterdam recently launched and the Graig Cardiff fitting out.
A major change in the company’s operations came about in the summer of 2017 with the sale of Graig Ship Management to V. Ships, a global market leader ship management company registered in Monaco but with its operational headquarters in London, and some sixty offices world-wide. V. Ships had for some time been hoping to establish a more substantial presence in China and found the high reputation of the operation developed by Graig in the Far East, offering cost effective and high quality services in both shipbuilding and ship management to clients, very attractive. Following lengthy negotiations, the deal was concluded on 10 August 2017.
Despite this sale Graig Shipping remains innovative and committed to a future in shipping. The two bulk carriers continue in operation, whilst 2018 saw the launch of a new ship design, the geared 63,000dwt Diamond 2 bulk carrier whose specification reflects the move towards increasingly efficient and environmentally-conscious tonnage. These are concerns that can hardly have crossed the minds of Idwal Williams and his fellow directors a century ago as they acquired the first Graig, and they reflect how times have changed. The closure of Graig’s London office in the spring of 2018 is a recent reflection of the fact that there is no longer a need for a physical presence in the City’s shipping quarter in the way that there was in the early 1950s when it was opened. The spring of 2018 also saw a notable break with the past in the death of former technical director Philip Thomas at the great age of ninety-seven. He had retained an interest in the company throughout his retirement and was a regular and popular visitor to the office to within months of his death.
In the modern shipping world, change is inevitable and it is by changing, and responding to change, that Graig has been a successful survivor. It adopted motor propulsion soon after the war and was the first Cardiff shipping company to acquire bulk carriers, thus enabling it to continue its participation in the world-wide tramping trades when other local companies were selling-up. The diversification of the 1970s and 1980s reflected the need to protect shareholders’ interests during volatile times for the company’s core shipping business, but the privatisation of the business in the 1990s has enabled the company to return to concentrate on that core business that it knows best. That Graig has changed and survived so effectively and successfully over the past one hundred years surely augurs well for the future. | <urn:uuid:2f03c5f3-23d0-4b4f-9399-534c57fd70b8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.graig.com/chairmans-desk/pt-8 | 2024-04-18T13:45:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.972135 | 1,017 |
“I am fully aware that I am now in the mayor’s body, but I was swapped into her body much like the rest of you are swapped into different bodies. I don’t have any answers nor any authority. I get that I look like I do, but I don’t,” Dylan was trying his best to explain the situation, but people didn’t want to listen to him. He was just a 19-year-old guy trapped in the body of their town’s mayor. He didn’t have any answers, but people thought he did! It was frustrating. He hadn’t even had any time to come to terms with the fact that he was now a woman -- and one who was around 50-years-old as well! He had lost thirty years of life, and everyone was coming to him with their own little problems!

On Wednesday, Tesla released its version 8.0 software to Model S and Model X owners through an over-the-air update.
Announced by the carmaker earlier this month, the software update includes hundreds of changes to vehicle functionality—with most relating to the Autopilot driver-assist system—according to the company.
Tesla has been under significant pressure to upgrade or alter Autopilot since a fatal May 7 crash involving a Model S running the system.
Perhaps the most significant change to Autopilot is a switch to prioritizing data from the system's radar, which CEO Elon Musk believes could have prevented the crash.
Autopilot previously required visual confirmation of radar data from its forward-facing camera, in order to prevent false positives from overhead objects like bridges and signs.
In the May crash, a Model S collided broadside with a tractor trailer. At the time, Tesla said that Autopilot failed to distinguish the white side of the trailer from the bright sky, although the company noted that the driver missed it too.
Tesla Model S Autopilot
Shortly after Tesla announced the version 8.0 software update was announced in a September 11 blog post, Musk said it was "very likely" that the new version of Autopilot could have prevented the crash.
Another change aimed at addressing Autopilot safety concerns is that the system will now shut down its Autosteer function if drivers ignore repeated warnings to keep their hands on the wheel.
If such a shutdown is triggered, Autosteer will not reactivate until the car has been parked.
Aside from safety-related changes, the software update also gives Autopilot the ability take highway off-ramps if prompted either by a flick of a turn signal or by directions from the navigation system.
Tesla also claims the system is now better at taking curves, and reacting to cars in adjacent lanes coming too close.
In addition, the radar sensor can now monitor the behavior of not only the car ahead, but the car ahead of that one, by bouncing a signal beneath the car immediately in front.
2016 Tesla Model X
As well as features related to driving, the version 8.0 update adds Cabin Overheat Protection, which keeps cabin temperature below a certain threshold to prevent children or pets from overheating.
This system automatically activates the air conditioning when the interior temperature reaches 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
Tesla also claims that version 8.0 of its software represents the biggest update to infotainment capabilities since the launch of the Model S in 2012.
Navigation maps now span the entire 17-inch central touchscreen, and the navigation system includes a trip planner as well.
The media player and voice-control functions have been streamlined, with voice control now initiated with a single tap.
Text in the instrument cluster now confirms voice commands, and "visual tips" remind the driver of what functions are available as well. | <urn:uuid:9cee5b05-8cfa-47ea-98fc-ad62f2ce4952> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1106297_tesla-electric-car-software-version-8-0-whats-new-whats-improved | 2024-04-18T14:13:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.9408 | 594 |
As we mentioned in a previous post, Whitney Houston was having some trouble with estate planning before her death due to complicated family issues. And now after her passing, it may only get worse. Financial Planning Magazine discusses what could become a big problem. If Whitney has only a simple will, and leaves her potential fortune to her 18-year old daughter, she’ll receive it in full. That’s quite a lot for an 18-year-old to get at once.
This is a great example of why it’s imperative you make absolutely certain that your clients’ wishes are set to be fulfilled. Does anyone believe Whitney Houston wanted her daughter to receive everything at once? And do we think she would have wanted the courtroom battle that is likely to come? Make sure your clients are protected.

Game developers, including Fatshark, have recognized the issue, recommending interim solutions such as slightly lowering the performance core speed using Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, which has helped reduce crash incidents in some cases.
Examination of motherboard default settings revealed that often, power and current limits are set to "unlimited" by default, aggravating the instability. Manually adjusting these to more conservative levels has been found to enhance stability. These insights suggest that techniques such as underclocking, undervolting, or setting stricter power/current limits can effectively prevent these crashes.
This underscores a broader challenge with managing the power of Intel's Raptor Lake CPUs under certain conditions and raises questions about finding the ideal settings for these processors that balance stability and performance. The precise way these adjustments mitigate the issue is still being studied, underscoring the complexity of modern CPU architecture and power management. Users facing such instability may need to tweak their BIOS settings or use tools like Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility to maintain stable system performance during high-demand tasks like gaming. | <urn:uuid:f688acc8-883b-4a71-b054-3f1fcb4b2091> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.guru3d.com/story/instability-issues-with-intel-13th-14th-generation-processors-during-unreal-engine-gameplay/ | 2024-04-18T13:23:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.944662 | 305 |
Of all the woes that can bring a great hair week to a standstill, few are as bothersome as dry hair. If your locks look and feel crunchy and parched, it’s almost impossible to make a silky blowout or even a ponytail happen. Since dryness can be caused by a variety of factors, from bleach damage to overusing hot tools, managing it can be tricky.
We tapped Matthew Morris, Kérastase brand ambassador and pro stylist, to find out everything you need to know about how to fix dry hair, and more importantly, determine why your strands are parched in the first place. We even share the best shampoo for dry hair to add to your routine.
What is dry hair a sign of?
First things first: To help your hair feel better, you’ll need to know if it actually is dry or just seems that way.
“Find out from your stylist if your hair is, in fact, dry, or if it is the texture, product usage, color, and drying techniques that are making it ‘feel’ dry,” he says.
Morris says a myriad of factors can play a role in the dryness of your hair, but only some of them are ultimately within your control. Side effects of medication, hard water, excess protein, and environmental factors can all leave your hair feeling rough and parched.
How can I hydrate my hair at home?
If you’re looking to nourish your strands without the help of a pro, you’ll need a routine full of hydrating hair products. Start in the shower with a shampoo and conditioner system like Biolage Hydrasource Shampoo and Conditioner. This gentle, paraben-free system helps optimize moisture balance and protect hair against future damage, leaving your strands hydrated and shiny.
To give your strands extra nourishment, apply a moisturizing leave-in conditioner like Biolage Hydrasource Daily Leave-In Tonic. This moisturizing formula balances and strengthens hair for enhanced hair shine and reduced hair breakage.
Can you repair extremely dry, damaged hair?
For those experiencing dryness due to hair damage, you’ll need strengthening and repairing products formulated specifically to hydrate and soften your mane. We recommend starting with a shampoo and conditioner like Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Sulfate-Free Shampoo and Conditioner. This system provides ultimate strength repair, intense conditioning, and color fade protection. Formulated with citric acid and a concentrated bonding care complex, the pH balancing formulas reinforce weakened bonds within your hair to improve hair strength. Follow your shampoo and conditioner with the Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Conditioner to strengthen, tame frizz, add shine, and protect against heat damage.
What can I do for extremely dry hair?
If you’re dealing with extremely parched locks, you’ll need to create new hair habits and update your routine with products specifically formulated for very dry hair. Since over-shampooing can strip the natural oils from your mane, we recommend only washing your hair once or twice per week. Keep up with trim appointments to get rid of split ends and keep your strands as healthy as possible.
When it comes to your product line-up, choose extra hydrating formulas like Redken All Soft Mega Shampoo and Conditioner. These formulas are infused with a nourishing mix of sacha inchi extract, aloe vera gel, and cactus extract to soften and add hydration to severely dry, coarse hair. You should also add a hair treatment like Redken All Soft Mega Deep Conditioning Treatment Mask to your routine for extra moisture and hydration.
Since dry hair has so many underlying causes, the best treatment for dry hair will always be one customized for your individual needs. With that in mind, your stylist is the ultimate resource to turn to. If you’re waiting for the day of your appointment, however, there are a few general causes of dry hair that can be addressed at home. Keep scrolling to discover eight common dry hair issues—and Morris’s top tips for fixing them.
Your curls lack moisture.
Some hair types are more prone to dryness than others. If you have waves, curls, or tight coils, you may find that your hair often feels a bit crispier than you’d like, even if you’re doing your best to care for it. That’s because the zigs and zags of curly hair can make it harder for the sebum your scalp produces to travel down the hair shaft. This is why the tightest curl patterns are so prone to becoming parched.
To help manage your dry strands, focus on regularly using moisturizing masks and deep conditioners. Cutting down how often you shampoo may also help. We’re big fans of the Kérastase Nutritive Masquintense Thick Hair Mask, which is formulated for dry, extremely sensitized, thick hair. If you’re working with fine ringlets, choose a lightweight alternative like Kérastase Nutritive Masquintense Fine Hair Mask.
Your shower water is too hot.
On the other hand, there are some causes of dry hair you may be bringing on yourself.
“Excessively hot water is a big culprit [behind dry hair],” Morris explains. “People are literally boiling the moisture out of their hair. When conditioning the hair, the hair should be warm, and the conditioner should be applied and rinsed with cooler water. This will close the cuticle down and trap conditioning agents and moisture with it.”
It’s not just texture and softness that are affected by scorching water, either. If you’re spending good money on the hair color of your dreams, you won’t be happy to know that you’re effectively washing it down the drain. A cool temperature can help you cleanse your color-treated hair safely.
You’re going light too quickly.
Your at-home habits may not be the only thing sucking the moisture from your strands. Morris cites overprocessed or overly bleached hair as the third most frequent cause of dryness he sees. If you’ve never tried a blonde or pastel hair color, it’s important to know that shades like this require a blank canvas—in other words, your stylist will need to lift the existing color from your hair using bleach before starting on the new shade.
Bleach is inherently damaging to hair, which is why professionals use it carefully. If a dramatic color change is your end goal, expect to come into the salon for multiple appointments so your pro can lift the color slowly while maintaining the health of your hair as best they can.
To help minimize the chances of accidentally ending up with ramen noodle hair (read: dry and fragile), take the time to research before booking a color appointment and be clear with your stylist that you want to ensure the health of your hair. A simple conversation can make all the difference!
For anyone already dealing with dry, bleach damaged hair, opt for a hair treatment like Redken Extreme Bleach Recovery Lamellar Water Treatment. The conditioning treatment for bleached, damaged hair moisturizes dry, brittle hair to restore softness, smoothness, and shine.
You’re using shampoo the wrong way.
If you’re not using the proper technique to shampoo your hair, you could be needlessly drying it out. There’s a reason your hair feels so good after getting it washed in-salon—they’re experts!
When shampooing your mane, use less shampoo than you’re used to. Use a hydrating formula like Pureology Hydrate Shampoo and focus it right on the scalp, where natural oil and product can build up over time. Instead of using your nails to scratch at the skin, let your fingertips do most of the work. Be sure to focus on areas like the nape and the spot just above either ear which are often neglected.
Avoid scrubbing your whole strand—your ends are the oldest and most fragile part of your hair and need more gentle care. Allowing the suds to run down the strand as you thoroughly rinse is likely of all the cleansing they require.
You’re using the conditioner the wrong way.
When you’re done shampooing, rinse your hair until the water runs clear. Then, gently squeeze excess water from your mane before grabbing the conditioner. Focus the formula on your ends, remembering that they’re often prone to dryness.Try a moisturizing conditioner like Pureology Hydrate Conditioner. This conditioner deeply hydrates dry, color-treated hair.
You’re styling your hair without heat protection.
Your shower routine isn’t enough to protect your strands from heat or styling damage. Once you’re out of the shower, Morris says the blow dryer can be at fault for your dry hair woes. Relying on high temperatures every day and regularly forgetting a heat protectant can wreak havoc on your locks.
“Applying a thermal protectant to damp, towel-dried hair is key for helping to prevent damage and dryness from the blow dryer and hot tools,” Morris says.
The next time you turn on a styling tool, be sure to set out a heat protectant product in plain sight. If it’s right in front of you, you won’t be able to forget about applying it. One of Morris’s favorites is Kérastase Nutritive Nectar Thermique Blow Dry Primer. This leave-in thermal protectant for dry hair protects against heat up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit while nourishing and smoothing the hair fibers.
You’re using a tool that’s too hot.
It’s also possible the temperature on your dryer or flat iron is to blame for your crunchy ends. Some tools heat up higher than what’s protected by your hair products. If you’re styling at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, make sure the label on your heat protectant promises the same.
We love Kérastase Couture Styling L’Incroyable Blowdry Hair Lotion. a miracle reshape heat lotion with long-wear hold and repositionable shape control. Formulated to provide thermo-protection up to 446 degrees Fahrenheit, this formula controls the look of frizz for 96 hours in 80 percent humidity.
You’re heat styling too frequently.
If your dryness is a result of over-styling or heat, take a step back from the blow dryer. It’s crucial that every woman has a few air-dried styles under her belt for days when heat styling just won’t cut it. Be sure to pick up an air dry product like Biolage Styling Airdry Glotion Multi-Benefit Styling Spray to keep your strands looking flawless on heat-free days. This formula boosts shine and enhances shape while strengthening and repairing hair.

Juvenile Offenses in Pennsylvania — What to Expect
In Pennsylvania, most juvenile offenses fall into one of two categories: delinquency or summary offenses. Delinquency involves acts that would be considered crimes if committed by an adult — if you are charged with delinquency, you will be required to go through juvenile court proceedings to resolve the matter. A summary offense is a crime in the adult criminal code that has been committed by a juvenile. Summary offenses are considered less serious than other types of crimes.
If police officers have probable cause to believe that you are either engaged in illegal activity or have committed an offense, you can be detained or taken into custody. The probable cause may stem from information from witnesses, leading officers to obtain a warrant for your detention. Police may also detain you based on evidence they personally observe.
With probable cause, police may either question you on the scene, or may take you to a precinct for questioning. They can also arrange to release you to the custody of a parent or guardian. If the offense with which you are charged is a misdemeanor or felony, law enforcement officers may obtain fingerprints or take photos for your permanent record. In limited circumstances, they can also seek a DNA sample.
Police officers do not have to release you to the custody of your parents. They can place you in a juvenile detention center, a child welfare approved group home, or in any other environment approved by the court. Police may only put you in a secure detention facility, though if one of three conditions exists:
- You have no parent or guardian to whom you can be released
- There is a reasonable concern that you will leave the jurisdiction before your hearing is scheduled
- You need to be confined for your own safety

Zoning Commission Recommends Historic District Expansion
The Harrodsburg-Mercer County Joint Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended approval of a text amendments which would allow Harrodsburg homeowners to apply to have their properties included in the city’s historical district and could possibly allow distilleries and spirit warehouses in the city and county.
At their regular meeting on Monday, Feb. 27, the planning and zoning commission held a public hearing to discuss three text amendments. The first would amend the “H” zoning district to allow for historic preservation overlays.
The Harrodsburg Architectural Preservation Commission is working with the city to become a certified local government. Helen Dedman, a member of the preservation commission, Dedman said if Harrodsburg regains its status as a certified local government, it would open opportunities for grants. She said the verbiage for the text amendment was requested by the Kentucky Heritage Council. The actual ordinance dated back to the 1980s, she said.
“We can save our historic heritage,” Dedman said.
Shawn Moore, executive director of planning and zoning, said currently there are two heritage Historic districts in Harrodsburg, Morgans Row and Old Fort Harrod State Park. Most of downtown Harrodsburg is already part of a historical district.
If the text amendment is approved by the Harrodsburg City Commission, it would allow owners to petition for their properties to be placed on a historic overlay. The planning and zoning commission would conduct public hearings when someone requested to join the historic district, then issue a written recommendation to the preservation commission.
“We’re not actually changing the zone,” Moore said. He also said the planning and zoning commission would also not be responsible for enforcing the ordinance.
Commissioner Jonathan Elliott asked if there was a way out for those who buy historic properties.
“Probably not,” Dedman said.
Commissioner Jerry Catlett asked what would happen if there was a fire that destroyed a historic property.
“That’s happened twice,” Dedman said. “We don’t want to lose the historic nature of Main Street. We would work with that owner to find the best way.”
“I am in favor of historic preservation, I just don’t want to do anything prohibitive,” Catlett said.
Moore noted entering the historic district overlay was voluntary. If a property owner elected not to rebuild a destroyed property, there was nothing they could do.
There was no other testimony. The planning and zoning commission also held a public hearing on a proposed text amendment to allow for distilleries and distilled spirit storage buildings in certain zoning districts in the City of Harrodsburg.
“It would open up the opportunity for the city to open two different kinds of craft distilleries,” Moore said.
No one spoke at the public hearing. The planning and zoning commission also held a public hearing on a similar text amendment to the county zoning ordinance. It would also amend article 10 in zoning ordinance concerning signage following a Supreme Court decision. The model ordinance was written by the Kentucky League of Cities.
“It will solve the problem of us being sued,” Moore said.
Gus Faeth spoke against the county ordinance changes.
“I don’t have any problem with that in the city,” Faeth said. In particular, he was opposed to allowing distilleries and storage facilities on land zoned for agriculture.
“It’s really not a cottage industry, it’s a real industry,” Faeth said. “I just don’t think it’s appropriate in the agricultural zones.”
Faeth said allowing distilleries and storage facilities on agricultural land “would be a bad road to go down.”
After closing the public hearing, the commissioners voted unanimously to recommend all three text amendments. It will be up to the Harrodsburg City Commission to decide whether or not to approve the historic district text amendment and distilleries and storage facilities in the city. The Mercer County Fiscal Court will decide whether or not to approve distilleries and storage facilities in the county.
The next meeting of the Harrodsburg-Mercer County Joint Planning and Zoning Commission will be Tuesday, March 14, at 5:30 p.m. | <urn:uuid:27877c08-714d-4a08-92a0-ec67f5441d8c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.harrodsburgherald.com/2023/03/08/zoning-amendments-would-allow-distilleries-and-spirit-warehouses/ | 2024-04-18T14:25:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.962222 | 922 |

BEAUTY AND LIFESTYLE PROFILE with Tarin Kerrey
Vocalist of Sanguine
Sanguine is a 4-piece alternative metal band from the UK and is about to release its debut full-length cd `Black Sheep’ (29th January 2016). Mixing rock, punk and metal but also showing a sensitive side, typifies the band and distinguish them from many other female fronted metal bands out there. But it is singer Tarin Kerrey who spices up `Black Sheep’ with the element of surprise by switching from melodic singing easily to high-pitched almost howling screams. Not only does Tarin knows what she is aiming for as a singer, she also knows what she wants when it comes to beauty and lifestyle.
Are you a make-up and/or fashion junkie?
,,Not really, I love art and so my interest in make-up and fashion goes hand in hand with art. I don’t follow many trends on the high street, I don’t know the names of many labels but I do like rock chick fashion. I generally follow the darker side of fashion. Black dominates my wardrobe.’’
How would you describe your make-up and (stage) clothing style and how did it develop over the years?
,,I’ve always liked the old 1950’s pin-up girls so I took inspiration from the pin-up look when it comes to make-up. For example I always wear eyeliner and red lipstick, that’s signature to me. In terms of clothing styles I love using a mixture of layers, belts and jewellery to match my outfit. Accessories are just as important as the clothes! To top it off I mainly wear boots, I feel like they represent my `war uniform’ when I step on stage. I’m ready to do battle when I am in my boots! I think that you have to work with what you’ve got, find your assets and work on bringing attention to those assets. When I started out I was always working on a tight budget and so I spend a lot of time finding clothing items on the cheap or in second hand shops and tailoring them so that they fit me perfectly, or adding in extra detail to plain clothes. Remember that you can make your own outfits, don’t just rely on what is for sale on the high street. Adapt, shop around, and find items in stores you don’t normally buy in. You might surprise yourself.’’
Have you found your own visual identity or are you still looking for that?
,,I’m definitely not basing my look on anyone in particular, so I suppose I’ve found my own visual identity. I suppose I would describe my look somewhere between Tomb Raider, Kate Moss and a pin-up girl! I’m not a materialistic person but I do have expensive taste. I’m always seeing clothing that I can’t afford, so I try to emulate fashion I’ve seen by shopping around and making adjustments to outfits to get that expensive look. Get that sowing machine out, start gluing those diamantes!’’
Who is (are) your style icon/role model when it comes to beauty and fashion?
,,I love Alexander McQueen, the dark theatre was always impressive but you couldn’t wear it. But he had ideas, his fashion was art! In terms of women I’ve always loved Dita Von Teese, she pretty much sums up my love of pin-up girls.’’
What are your favourite beauty products? And which ones can’t you absolutely live without?
,,I can’t live without my red lipstick. I mean really red, most reds are either too pink or too orange. I shop around for colours to ensure that I find a true red lipstick. My GHD hair straighteners are also a must have! They are as amazing as everyone makes them out to be. These babies can keep your hair straight for days so they are worth every penny you spend on them.’’
Best make-up tips you ever got and what are your own best tips!
,,I would be absolutely lost without Lipcoat, it’s a coat that you put over your lipstick so that it stays on. When I’m singing and performing I get pretty hot so it’s really important that I find ways of making my makeup stay on. Lipcoat is the only product I’ve found that truly works. Don’t rely on hairdressers work out hairstyles you can do yourself on the road. I recommend that every girl with longer hair works out a way to style their hair up and down. The reason I say this is because long hair does not always want to be down. Sometimes it won’t behave itself! So I recommend that you try out a few up-styles until you find the one that frames your face and make that your “look”. Every longhaired girl should have at least two hairstyles that they can style themselves without any help. Practice your up-style until it becomes second nature. This means that even if you are no where near a hairdresser (like me when I’m on the road) you still look good.’’
Which products are your life saviours after a late night party and how do you deal with a hangover?
,,Sleep!!! Sleep is the best thing you can do to look good. Make sure you sleep as much as you can, your body needs time to restore itself. Eat well; I mainly eat white meat, fish and vegetables. I don’t diet or exclude anything from what I eat but I do count how many carbs I have in a day. Carbs and sugar is definitely the enemy. If you eat well you’ll feel better. In terms of hangovers I’m not a big drinker. It’s not that I won’t enjoy a drink from time-to-time but I rarely drink in the week. I think that alcohol does bad things to your body, it puts on weight and generally lowers your health. So when I do drink I enjoy myself but I’m not someone who will drink every day. When I do overdo it I make sure that I drink vitamin drinks like Berocca. I normally enjoy a glass of orange Berocca, it also turns your wee ultra-yellow so watch out for that!’’
What type of traveller are you when it comes to touring? What are the essentials for you to bring on the road?
,,Being the only girl in the band you have be prepared. No one else is going to bring along a pair of tweezers. So not only do I have to pack for myself but I’m also in-charge of basic first aid: painkillers, plasters and a bunch of safety pins are always in my bag! I basically travel as light as I can with one make-up bag, a small mirror, my GHD straighteners and a travel hairdryer, with a bunch of travel adapters (remember I’m from the UK!). I also bring earplugs and an eye mask because you never know where you’ll end up sleeping and who’s snoring you’ll have to put up with!’’
Being in a band, how do you take care of your voice, also during touring?
,,Sometimes I just know that I’ve pushed my voice pretty hard the night before and I need `vocal rest’, a period of silence without using my voice. But resting your voice can be nearly impossible when you have to do interviews before the next show. Basically the key to looking after your voice is being healthy, generally I carry a bottle of alcohol rub for my hands and I make sure that I use it! Picking up a cold is the worst enemy for my voice!’’
What makes you different in your opinion from other female singers in the metal scene?
,,I don’t know! I’m just me. I’m not trying to be anyone else. I take inspiration from people around me but I never try and copy anyone. I just don’t care what others are doing; I’m very much on my own trip! I think this independence came from the fact that I left home at fifteen so I had to grow up pretty fast. I’m girly but I’m not girly, I’m a paradox. I love girly pink things but I won’t think twice about breaking a nail in order to lift a heavy amp into the van! In terms of singing style I take a lot of influence from Mike Patton from Faith No More with his ability to sing and scream. I like to mix up the styles I sing in, I’m not afraid to scream my head off, but I also enjoy singing. I’m lucky that I have Sanguine as a vessel to do both styles of singing.’’
The debut album `Black Sheep’ of your band Sanguine will be released 29th of January 2016. What do you want to say and show with this album?
,,I want to introduce first time listeners `the world of Sanguine’. We worked hard on putting this collection of songs together so that it can be a soundtrack to your life! There is a song for every mood on this album. We’ve always been alternative, somewhere between rock, metal and punk and I’ve always wanted to sing and scream and mix up my styles of delivery. I would absolutely love people to listen to the record in its entirety as there are so many inspirations pulled into the styling of the songs. It even features Jesper Strömblad, former guitarist from In Flames, on two of the tracks (,,Empty’’ and ,,Breathe Out’’). The album is called `Black Sheep’ because as a band we’ve never really fitted into the industry. We’ve always been labelled as alternative heavy music. I suppose if this album was trying to say anything it says: we don’t fit in, but we don’t care! We are proud to be Black Sheep.’’
What is the most personal song on the album and why?
,,,,Breathe Out’’ is pretty personal. The lyrics are written from my perspective trying to comfort my best friend who was going through some major crap in his life. I felt like I was losing his friendship and I was trying so hard to get him to talk to me, to reconnect with me. So there are some pretty emotional lyrics in that song, still hits a nerve when I listen to it.’’
First thing you did when you heard you had a record deal?
,,We were over the moon! We had travelled to L.A. to play a show and afterwards we bagged our very first record deal with The Leaders Group in Japan. Pretty amazing experience to fly halfway around the world and realise your dream is coming true. The first thing we did was head back to the apartment we were staying in, cracked open some drinks and headed to the hot tub! Pool party! Yep, got to love celebrating L.A. style!’’
What bands/artists are rotating on your IPod or IPhone lately?
,,`Philistine Philosophies’ of SikTh. A brilliant new EP just recently been released. SikTh broke up a while back and now they are back with more insanity! This band are the meaning of true musicianship, amazingly technical but still melodic. Check them out!’’
What are your good intentions for 2016?
,,Travel more, tour this album all over the world in as many countries as possible. `Black Sheep’ is coming out in the UK, Europe and Japan and we are booking in tours right now, so watch this space!’’
What is your motto in life?
,,Be yourself. Follow what’s in your heart. There is no point copying someone else or thinking that you should follow social pressure or profiling in order to be happy. Only you have to live your life so only you know what will make you truly happy. I’ve seen so many people follow paths in life that aren’t their own, that makes them stressed out and miserable. Be yourself, always be yourself.’’ | <urn:uuid:273e9ef4-61e9-42d1-8ccc-4fe8bc5d0191> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.headbangerslifestyle.com/lifestyle/beauty-lifestyle/beauty-and-lifestyle-profile-with-tarin-kerrey/ | 2024-04-18T14:59:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.968238 | 2,652 |

Vaisala’s Indigo 201 provides an optional display, analog outputs and relays, and a wireless user interface accessed easily by, for example, a mobile phone.
The currently available Indigo-compatible CO2 probes, GMP251 and GMP252, are designed for harsh and humid environments. They are used in life science incubators, cold storages, and other demanding applications.
According to the company, carbon dioxide is used more often in refrigeration systems because it is more environmental friendly and has a lower impact on global warming than CFC, HCFC and HFC refrigerants. At the same time it is important in these systems to monitor the CO2 levels with reliable measurements for human safety.
The Indigo 201 uses a wireless user interface for easy configuration: Users can easily configure the host using any device with a WLAN connection, such as a laptop, computer or a mobile phone. Temporary viewing of measurement data of the attached Indigo-compatible probe can be done wirelessly.
The host also allows for minimal downtime as the probe can be easily removed and changed to a new one. Users can also calibrate the probe with the help of Indigo 201.
The measurement result can be shown on the display or be converted into other formats, for example, analog output signals and for relay activation. These features are useful in various control and monitoring systems, and the relays can be used even to build small scale system, such as to turn on/off a fan or give an alarm. | <urn:uuid:54faa766-d5a5-4a7a-8533-d88918911bda> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.healthcarepackaging.com/machinery/inspection/press-release/13292700/vaisala-indigo-201-analog-output-transmitter | 2024-04-18T13:39:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.920197 | 306 |
Flaxseed is no one-trick pony. These tiny, nutty-flavored wonders, also known as linseeds, are nutritional powerhouses loaded with fiber, healthy fats, lignans, and other protective compounds that account for many of the health benefits of flax.
As its botanical name suggests, Linum usitatissimum, is a versatile and valuable plant. (Usitatissimum means most useful.) The cultivation of flax dates back at least 9,000 years. Flax fibers were woven into linen, the cloth that swaddled mummies in Egyptian tombs, and used to make twine, rope, and paper. Flax oil was an ingredient in soap and paint, the blue flowers of the plant were rumored to ward off sorcery and evil doings, and the seeds were eaten to improve gastrointestinal health.
Flax has certainly withstood the test of time. Linen remains a popular fabric, flax oil (also called linseed oil) has a number of industrial applications, and additional medicinal benefits continue to be discovered.
Flaxseed Is Rich in Fiber
One of the most impressive health benefits of flax is that it is an excellent source of both insoluble and soluble fiber. Insoluble fiber, or “roughage,” bulks up the stool and helps it pass through the intestinal tract, preventing constipation and other gastrointestinal complications.
Soluble fiber has even more benefits. It fills you up, which promotes satiety, and helps with weight control. It also delays the emptying of the stomach, allowing glucose to be released more slowly and keeping blood sugar on an even keel. This is not only valuable for anyone who has diabetes, but also for those with weight problems, since spikes and plummets in blood sugar levels can lead to intense food cravings.
Flaxseed Helps Lower Cholesterol
All that fiber leads to another noteworthy health benefit of flax: its ability to lower cholesterol naturally. In a landmark study, researchers in Rome studied the effects of flaxseed on a group of patients with total cholesterol greater than 240. They were randomly assigned to one of three groups: a low-fat diet, a low-fat diet plus a statin drug, and a low-fat diet plus 20 g (about 1/8 cup) of ground flaxseed daily. Cholesterol and triglycerides were measured at the start of the study and after two months of treatment.
The flaxseed group saw their total cholesterol levels plummet by 17.2 percent, their triglycerides by 36.3 percent, and their total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratios by 33.5 percent. The big news here is that these results were not statistically different from the statin group. What does this mean? In this study, flax worked just as well as statins in lowering cholesterol! And any time a natural supplement works better than a dangerous prescription drug, I’m all for it.
Great Source of Omega-3s and Lignans
The oils in flax are the most abundant plant source of alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 essential fatty acid (EFA). It is converted into DHA and EPA (the same fatty acids found in fish oil), which improve cognitive function, reduce inflammation, and boost overall health.
Yet another health benefit of flaxseed is that it’s nature’s richest source of plant lignans. Lignans are classified as phytoestrogens because they are transformed by bacteria in the intestines into compounds that bind to estrogen receptor sites throughout the body and exert weak estrogenic activity. In one study of menopausal women who were plagued with hot flashes (at least five a day), taking 40 g (a little less than 1/4 cup) of flaxseed daily reduced the frequency of hot flashes by more than one-third.
Equally important, flax’s phytoestrogens block more potent forms of estrogen. This not only helps keep hormone levels balanced, but it also does one other very important thing: It protects against certain types of cancer.
Protection Against Certain Cancers
The “C” word is scary for everyone, which makes this health benefit of flaxseed an important one. The lignans in flax are protective against certain types of cancers. One type is breast cancer. New York researchers looked at the dietary lignan intake of more than 3,000 women in relation to breast cancer risk. After adjustments were made for age and other relevant factors, they determined that premenopausal women who consumed the highest amounts of lignans had a reduced risk of breast cancer.
Another is prostate cancer. Swedish researchers recently found that eating foods rich in phytoestrogens and lignans, such as flaxseeds and soybeans, is associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer.
Flaxseed also appears to reduce tumor growth in women with existing breast cancer. A Toronto research team gave participants with newly diagnosed breast cancer a muffin containing 25 g of flaxseed every day for about a month, while another group of women were given muffins without flax. In the group eating flaxseed, tumor proliferation was reduced by an average of 34.2 percent, and a 30.7 percent increase in apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells was observed.
How to Reap the Many Health Benefits of Flaxseed
It’s easy to see why flaxseed is a part of my general recommendations for good health. To reap the health benefits of flaxseed, incorporate about 1/4 cup (50 g) of freshly ground flax into your daily diet. To grind, place whole flaxseeds into a coffee grinder, food processor, or blender and process for about five seconds. Sprinkle on yogurt, fruit, oatmeal, salads, and other foods; or try my favorite flaxseed smoothie recipe:
In a blender, place 1/4 cup freshly ground flaxseed, 3/4 cup of water, 1 cup of ice cubes, 1 1/2 cups of fruit* (I prefer blueberries and strawberries), and 2 scoops of protein powder. Blend well and serve immediately. For variation, add plain, nonfat Greek yogurt or a scoop of greens. (Serves 2.)
*If you use frozen fruit, use less ice and more water. | <urn:uuid:8e3a05be-e41c-4f58-a715-b2837fc2f698> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.healthydirections.com/articles/general-health/the-bountiful-health-benefits-of-flaxseed | 2024-04-18T13:42:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.963187 | 1,324 |

Albania eyes tourist boom
Albania seeks to scrub stereotypes of poverty, criminality and blood feuds to persuade tourists to visit. But can it exploit its natural and cultural treasures without wrecking its potential as an undiscovered gem?
For those flying in from German and Austrian hubs, the first sight of Albania is usually of the Dajti mountain brooding over Tirana. The shadow it casts across the capital perfectly matches the mystery that engulfs the country in most minds.
After taking power during the Second World War, Enver Hoxha — whose authoritarian rule of Albania lasted from 1944 until his death in 1985 — sealed off the country for four decades, outlawing travel and religion. Over 500,000 concrete bunkers sprang from his paranoia onto the country's beaches, mountains and plains, many remaining to this day.
This long and haunted isolation, allied to the vicious wars that stalked the western Balkans in the 1990s, has helped turn Albania into Europe's least known and most enigmatic country.
That means that for the uninitiated, the images that spring to mind stem from its grim communist past. But while corruption and criminality can be found, as in all European countries, Albania is still one of the last unspoiled corners of Europe.
The Accursed Mountains in the north offer one of the continent's last wildernesses to hikers and climbers. Golden sand beaches run down the Adriatic and Ionian coasts to the city of Saranda, which sits just across the Greek island of Corfu. Across this southern region runs the Vjosa, one of Europe's last wild rivers, soon to be protected within a national park.
Albania is now beckoning visitors to discover not only these stunning landscapes, but also the country's Mediterranean-Balkan hybrid cuisine — featuring specialties such as Tave Kosi or Fergese — which can be catered by over 250 ecotourism hosts, a sector the government is keen to promote.
A plethora of Greek, Roman and Ottoman ruins and archaeological sites also punctuate the country, such as the UNESCO-listed Butrint National Park, the Ottoman-era city of Berat, or the ancient city of Apollonia.
The bonus for visitors, says Gazi Haxhia, CEO of travel agency Landways who has been enthusiastically pushing his country's tourism potential for over two decades, is that all of these treasures can be enjoyed without struggling through crowds.
"Albania is still relatively undiscovered," Haxhia boasts. "We've not been overrun with mass tourism, so visitors can still enjoy unspoiled natural beauty, unique culture and authentic experiences."
However, some are starting to wonder just how long that will remain the case, as tourist numbers start to rise.
The pandemic gave Albania a leg up. Neighbouring tourism stars were hard hit by COVID. Croatia, whose sparkling Adriatic coastline tends to dominate tourist flows heading into this south-eastern corner of Europe, saw visitor numbers drop by 68% in 2020, as restrictions crimped travel. Montenegro fared even worse, as tourist flows dropped by 83%.
Softer restrictions saw Albania trim the pullback to 59%, and numbers have quickly rebounded. A record 7.5 million arrived last year.
"The recovery has been quicker and stronger than expected," Haxhia says. Although developments regarding COVID restrictions in Asia, Russia's war in Ukraine, and the economic downturn in Europe make it hard to gauge, he says and hopes for another record in 2023.
On top of the country's natural and historical treasures, the hospitality of Albanians and their eagerness to share their culture and traditions are important selling points, he claims.
Tolerance and hospitality are the basis of a tradition called "Besa." One of Albania's proudest boasts is that the country — which is Muslim-majority — was the only one in Europe to have a larger Jewish population in 1945 than in 1939.
Haxhia notes that his clients, who largely hail from European states such as Germany, the UK and Italy, also appreciate the low costs of a trip to Albania. Increasingly, he adds, travellers from the US and Asia are starting to discover the tiny country sitting just across the Ionian Sea from the heel of the Italian boot.
The potential of tourism is so significant that Prime Minister Edi Rama dreams of making the country the region's "tourist champion" by the end of the decade.
One of Europe's poorest countries, Albania's emerging economy depends heavily on agriculture and mining. But tourism is viewed as a key driver of modern economic development.
Pre-pandemic, the $2.3 billion or so the sector brought in annually constituted close to 16% of GDP. Rama hopes that a strong government push will help double that share.
Progress is clear to see. The rubbish piles that in past decades blighted towns and roadsides have been cleared. Transport infrastructure is being expanded and upgraded. Encouraged by tax breaks, hotels and resorts are rising.
"But there's still more to be done," Haxhia points out. "The quality of services and infrastructure remains a challenge, particularly in rural areas."
Indeed, although Albania's transport infrastructure has undergone significant improvement over the past two decades, crucial gaps remain.
While a second international airport opened in 2021 in the northern city of Kukes, with seasonal flights linking it to Germany, Austria and Turkey, getting to the Albanian Riviera in the south requires either a five-hour drive from Tirana or a flight to Corfu and then a ferry.
A third airport, being built near the city of Vlore should help. "Tourists have had a hard time getting to Albania in the past," Mirela Kumbaro, minister of tourism and environment minister tells DW, "but, all infrastructure investments are being made to serve tourism."
The government is also working with investors to build several giant resorts. Announcing a €2-billion deal with the UAE's Eagle Hills development company in January, Rama branded the project to transform the port city of Durres "a locomotive" to accelerate economic development and allow Albania to compete on the international tourism market.
But at the same time, such schemes come mired in controversy. The sums of money rinsing through the system are seen as a corruption risk, and claims of sleaze and lax control are not uncommon.
The threat posed by regulators looking the other way as such behemoths advance on Albania's virgin territories are clear. Europe's Mediterranean coast is plagued by unsympathetic development, environmental damage, and over-tourism.
Although an enthusiastic proponent of the need for further development of the tourism sector, Haxhia recognizes the need to tread carefully.
"The government must enhance accessibility further, but should also promote sustainable tourism practices and training while it does," he suggests. "We need to preserve the country's natural and cultural assets for future generations."
And despite her government's rush to build motorways, airports and resorts, Kumbaro says that's exactly her remit. It's no coincidence, she insists, that her ministry is responsible for both tourism and the environment.
"Last year we had 7.5 million tourists," she declares. "But we don't plan increase the numbers. Instead, we target tourists who spend and who empower the development of sustainable tourism."

If you’re receiving the error “SQL Server does not exist or access denied” when trying to add an MSSQL database to your domain, follow the steps below:
- First, make sure you have SQL Server installed on the server.
*Note: You cannot add databases using MSDE, as it is a single instance cut-down version and does not provide this functionality. You need the *full* version of SQL Server in order to add databases. Either SQL Workgroup, or SQL Standard or Enterprise edition.
- Now, make sure that the SQL Server service (located at Home > System Settings > Servers > Your Server > SQL Service) has the SA username and correct password. This ensures Helm can connect and create the database.
- Next, check SQL itself. You need a default instance of SQL to be present. This is selectable from the actual installation of SQL Server.
For instance, you may have something like:
SQLSERVERSQL 2000but no default instance, which would just be:
SQLSERVERWithout the default instance, Helm won’t be able to access SQL Server to add databases.
*Note: As of version 3.2.8 of Helm, named instances of MSSQL are now supported.

Surveyor-general Major Thomas Livingston Mitchell is credited with opening the plains of Central and Western Victoria to settlement by pastoralists and farmers. In his book of 1838 (Three Expeditions into the Interior of Eastern Australia) he called this land ‘Australia Felix’.
‘The land is...open and available in its present state for all purposes of civilised man. We traversed it in two directions with heavy carts, meeting no other obstruction than the softness of the rich soil; and, in returning over flowery plains and green hills fanned by the breeze of early spring, I named this region Australia Felix, the better to distinguish it from the parched deserts of the interior country...flocks might be put out upon its hills or the plough at once set to work in the plains’.
Mitchell had made it! After 2 expeditions that had been comparative failures, contributing little to the picture of land resources of the British colony, he had succeeded in finding great new pastures and his name would resonate in the halls of pomp and power in Britain and in the annals of exploration.
Extremely difficult to buy !!!! On offer is an original lithograph bookplate engraving from the 1838 1st edition book by Major T L Mitchell “Three Expeditions into the Interior of Eastern Australia”. Paper size is 21.5cms x 13cms. Lightly hinged to acid free white backing. Minor marks & light foxing.

Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation (HNF) is pleased to announce the creation of a joint venture to develop drug candidates for the treatment of Charcot-MarieTooth (CMT) Disease with BioPontis Alliance for Rare Disease. HNF has supported basic research into the cause of CMT and early translational research to develop critical tools for drug development, with the goal that research would lead quickly to treatment. Progress can become stalled because drug development requires a complex array of more engineering like technical capabilities, capabilities not available to patients and academic researchers alike. Also new attention must be paid to patenting and aligning to the interest/requirements of the drug industry players who will be needed to bring treatments to patients.
To ensure success of potential candidates that are ready to enter clinical trials—not at the earlier stage where potential treatments are first being developed and tested in cells or animal models multiple steps need to be taken—BioPontis Rare Disease Alliance can provide the scientific, business and patenting structure to help bridge to those pharmaceutical companies.
In the Joint Venture, BioPontis Alliance will manage the project’s scientific execution, regulatory strategy, patenting and business partnering. HNF will continue to manage the other important factors that support the drug discovery process, such as basic and early translational research, build and maintain the Global Registry for Inherited Neuropathies and conduct market research and clinical outcome measure research. | <urn:uuid:0841c24a-4467-4bde-b726-2e2b83d6c8d9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.hnf-cure.org/cmt-update/biopontis-aliance-rare-disease-joint-venture-hnf/ | 2024-04-18T12:54:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.930516 | 287 |
