Faisal Saeed Al Mutar is the founder of Ideas Beyond Borders and Bayt Al-Hikma 2.0, Global Secular Humanist Movement. He is an Iraqi refugee, satirist, and human rights activist. He is also a columnist for Free Inquiry. Here, we continue to talk about the recent work.
Scott Douglas Jacobsen: What is new? What is new within the mission and mandate of Ideas Beyond Borders?
Faisal Saeed Al Mutar: There are many things. I want to focus on a few. We have assembled a team of editors and translators to make many of the articles that were not available to be available on Wikipedia.
Only a small portion of the articles are available in Arabic, for a language spoken by more than 400 million people. We have successfully moved the Arabic language to the 16th. There is a lot of work to be done.
But I am confident in the team that is constantly growing. We have translated roughly one million words in less than 6 months. We have a team from all over the region who constantly are trying to fill in the missing elements or information.
That the closed societies try to deal with. We have secured a partnership with Wikimedia Levant. Wikimedia is the mother of Wikipedia and other projects. In partnerships with other wikis, we are able to issue certificates, so that they can advance in their own career.
That element of empowerment that we deal with. On other subjects, on the books, we have translated roughly 10 so far. We are acquiring more and more to be released in our digital library. It is designed by the company of WordPress itself, which has generously featured us in their campaign for doing anything.
For people interested, they have listed IBB as one of their success stories. They have designed our website. They are also designing our library website, which is Bayt al-Hikma 2.0. It will be where there will be most of the content in terms of books.
People can also go to IBB Wikipedia to see the list of articles translated and are translating. It is constantly growing. We are tapping it, to start new programs and features and more stories of some of the heroes – I would say.
Those who are on the day-to-day basis fighting extremism, not necessarily with a gun. They are sharing a positive counternarrative that is enlightening and counter to the way the extremists tell us how the world is going badly – and the only way to change it is via extremist ideology.
It is why we are glad to have Stephen Pinker in the Advisory Board, who is about the counternarrative. It is Enlightenment values and a positive outlook. That the world is getting much better than the extremists show.
2018 was a tremendous year. It was a year of foundation, of trying to figure out who is who, building relationships, building partnerships, and so on. I see 2019 as the year of growth and constantly trying to expand our team, expand our network, expand our impact.
Our page grows roughly 1,000 likes a day. We have multiple social media managers working all across the region. Today, I got the statistics. We have roughly 5,000 likes from Iraq, 10,000 from Algeria, 7,000 from Egypt. We have an impact all across the world.
That impact is constantly increasing. I am pretty happy. This year is going to be the year of creating more content. As we also continue to do more on the ground, we have campus programs from last year expanding from the east coast to the west coast.
We are partnering in the creation of workshops. Those are trying to fight extremism through culture, through arts, through positive ideas. Stephen Pinker on the AB said that ideas can change the world.
Extremism is an idea. It can change the world. We are trying to counter the narrative with a positive image. I am pretty excited about what is coming.
Jacobsen: If we are looking at the global threat of extremism and terrorism, according to the 2016 UN Arab Human Development Report within the IBB Annual Report 2018, what does this indicate about the Middle East-North Africa region and work IBB does in terms of education and other means?
Al Mutar: The development report is an important element. It is why we mentioned it in the report. For a region that is very small, it is a source of constant conflicts. It has produced a lot of attacks and a lot of refugees.
On The Rubin Report, I said, “The Middle East is like Las Vegas, but happens in the Middle East doesn’t say in the Middle East.”
Al Mutar: What helped as a pre-requisite, it is the language. It is helpful. We are developing these educational projects because many of the wars launched against the region have been dealing with the iceberg.
Some have been dealing, even with the region defeat of ISIS, with a lot. I definitely celebrate the defeat. But the environment that permits groups like ISIS to exist is still there. The issue of extremism is multilayered, so is the issue of extremism.
It is multilayered, so is the issue of terrorism. The ideological and ideas element is important. That is why I think we can have the most impact by making the ideas of the Enlightenment accessible in that region.
Russia has its narrative in the Arab world. The extremists have their narrative in the Arab world. There is no institutionalized narrative of Enlightenment in the Arab world. I think that is what IBB can do. That is what we have been successful in doing over the past year.
I think we will continue to do that.
Jacobsen: In terms of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 19 speaks to freedom of expression, which is more general than freedom of speech – especially in an international context.
How does arguing for freedom of expression as one of the most important rights stop the spread of extremism?
Al Mutar: That is a very good question. There is a distinction, in my mind, between conversation and violence. When conversation stops, violence, in general, is the only outlet that people use to justify the spread of their ideas and ideals.
If you look at many of the countries with censorship across the Middle East, you will see this in many extremist groups. Because when you censor or kill anybody who disagrees with you, as many of these dictatorships do, extremists and the people who do not care about life.
They will the only people to show disagreement and most often violently. We take freedom of speech for granted in the Western world. Even though, it is being challenged here. We always have to remember that the element of freedom of expression and combatting censorship in that part of the world.
It is an extreme element of combatting extremism. When people find a way to express themselves through outlets and newspapers, there can always be differences of opinion. I do not think people go to violence as the first route.
I often think violence is the last resort. I think most issues can be resolved through conversation. It might be heated. It could be the dislike between people with different opinions. But I think the resort to violence will be much less if we allow all the other options for democratic participation.
People with the right to freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, freedom of thought. I was, recently, in a conversation with a representative from a Syrian group in Iraq. He was telling me for ages. Many of their Syrians have existed peacefully in Iraq. But many of them, because of the conflict, are picking up arms to defend themselves.
When there was a peaceful situation in which people were considered citizens and then there were no attacks against them, one of the oldest groups in Iraq have existed in peace and never resorted to violence.
Now, they are doing it, forming militias. When there is a conversation, when human rights are respected, when civil societies can participate and protect rights and advocate for these rights, then, definitely, something positive can happen here. It is a counter to extremism.
Jacobsen: What would be the biggest thing IBB can do, and other individuals and groups can support IBB in doing, in 2019 to further the advancement of the Article 19 right to freedom of expectation from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in addition to the empowerment of individuals on the ground in the Middle East-North Africa region who may not have access to rights and the information that people, such as ourselves, simply have as a privilege?
Al Mutar: One of the main things that we’re incorporating as part of our growth is building a global network. Building a global network has a lot of positives in which a lot of other people try to help other people achieve their goals, as I say, one of the main elements of IBB is the institutionalization and building the network.
There are many missing elements in the ideas world. There are many individuals working by themselves. They are not getting enough advice. Having one institution, it is allowing things to grow. As you can see, our AB is constantly growing.
This is in addition to the ambassadors and employees. All of these people, they work together. Everybody can play a major role, whether they can donate their skills within the getting involved section of our website or in donating money.
I think building the network is what makes IBB helpful. It is what has been missing in most of these networks. There have never been any successful attempts to bring a network together. I think IBB is doing this already.
I think it will do this successful more and more. I have seen more and more people from the region getting involved.
Jacobsen: If we look at individuals such as Malala Yousafzai, and other human rights activists, what is the importance of women coming forward and adding their voices and being given platforms to add their voices to this progressive work, human rights activism, and advancement of freedom of expression in the Middle East-North Africa region?
Al Mutar: Very good question, I think it is important. There is an Arab proverb that comes from poetry. If we empower women, then we empower the next generation. Women are also not just mothers. But they are also teachers, doctors, and all of that.
If you look at one of the main things that extremists have been trying to express across the Middle East, they are the number one victim of extremism. One of the major conversations happening right now in Afghanistan is what would a Taliban return to Afghanistan look like.
Many people who have been writing articles and advocating the Taliban is women. Because they would be denied human rights by these terrorist organizations. Malala being one from the region. There are also many others across not just the Arab world but the Muslim world, even the whole world. It is to be involved, as a message, and organized.
I think IBB is definitely playing a role in that. Also, in terms of getting more people to know about these ideas, there are several issues in the region, because of the existence of patriarchy in the Muslim world. Males have to be educated.
Within our translation project, it counters some of these elements within societies. It is exposing many people across the region to the idea of women’s rights, human rights, and civil rights, too. We have done multiple campaigns about that.
These societies will start to become more open. Women, hopefully, will be beneficiaries of it. I think it is their fight as much as our fight as well. That struggle is the struggle against extremism.
Jacobsen: Thank you for the opportunity and your time, Faisal.
Al Mutar: Thank you, Scott!

The rude New York man who ripped a woman’s wig from her head was fired from the law firm he worked at. Leader Berkon Colao & Silverstein LLP released a statement condoning former associate Anthony P. Orlich’s actions and elucidated he no longer worked with the firm.
“We have been made aware of a video of a non-work related incident involving one of our associates circulating on social media,” the company wrote. “We take seriously any inappropriate behavior by any employee, whether inside or outside the workplace. This associate is no longer with the Firm.”
The firm removed Olrich’s profile from the site and his name from the “our team” list.
The victim, musician Lizzy Ashliegh hasn’t come forward with a statement and said she couldn’t say more about the situation because she decided to take legal action.
“I am unable to say more at the moment as I move forward legally,” she wrote in a TikTok post. “I appreciate everyone who identified, called and emailed! Once I receive an update, I can share, trust and believe I will. Thank you again. I am currently being educated realistically on next steps.”
@lizzyashmusic Replying to @Danesh ♬ original sound – Lizzy Ashliegh
News Onyx previously reported that Orlich, for no reason, yanked Ashliegh’s wig from her head, and she began filming the aftermath, where his friends pleaded for him to apologize, which he refused to do. The incident happened in New York City around 1 a.m. on Monday.
“Sir, for what f**king reason? For what reason? For what reason did you take my wig off? Because what made you think that that was the good thing to do? For what?! For what?! Why did you do that?” The singer and Netflix production assistant repeatedly asked Olrich, who continued to smile as if he did nothing wrong and as “for what” when the former lawyer was told to apologize.

Guest Column: “Oppenheimer” erases history of nuclear waste caused to Navajo Nation
Hollywood is excited about the blockbuster $80.5 million Oppenheimer brought in during its opening weekend, as reported by Variety. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book American Prometheus, the movie is about the so-called “father of the atomic bomb.”
Hollywood may be gleeful about the long lines to see Oppenheimer, but Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren still thinks Hollywood comes short on reporting on the devastation uranium mining and nuclear testing caused to the country’s largest Indian reservation.
“The Navajo people cannot afford to be, yet again, erased from history,” Nygren writes in a TIME magazine op-ed on July 21, 2023.
“Hollywood has a lot of work to do, and they can start by standing with the Navajo people and urging Congress to provide just compensation for victims of radiation exposure,” Nygren writes.
Nygren, 36, is serving his first term as president of the Navajo Nation and is the youngest ever elected president of the tribal nation.
Nygren says the movie was released five days after the 44th anniversary of the Church Rock uranium mill spill when 94 million gallons of radioactive waste poured into the Puerco River spanning the northern portions of New Mexico and Arizona where the Navajo Nation is located.
“What came next—cancers, miscarriages and mysterious illnesses—is a direct consequence of America’s race for nuclear hegemony. It’s an accomplishment built on top of the bodies of Navajo men, women, and children—the lived experience of nuclear weapons development in the United States. But, as usual, Hollywood chose to gloss over them.” Nygren writes.
In 1990, Congress passed the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA), but the problems on the Navajo Nation still persist.
“Despite the passage of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) in 1990, justice remains elusive for Navajo families who have suffered from the devastating and long-lasting health and environmental effects of the uranium mining industry on Navajo land,” Nygren writes.
While the Oppenheimer movie deals with history, the Navajo Nation still deals with the long-term effects of the spill and uranium mining impacting the lives of its people.
Buu Nygren’s full article can be read in Time magazine. | <urn:uuid:9a000b5a-6def-4d03-89df-4a6570c21894> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.nhonews.com/news/2023/aug/01/guest-column-oppenheimer-erases-history-nuclear-wa/ | 2024-04-18T13:38:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.938948 | 502 |

Katherine Reding, Ph.D., Winner of the 2017 NIMH Three-Minute Talks Competition
>> KATHERINE REDING: I want to talk to you about puberty and psychopathology.
Puberty is a time of increase onset of several neuropsychiatric disorders.
However, across the pubertal transition - demarcated here by the white dashed-line - there is a demonstrable sex difference in disease prevalence, such that girls show a 2 to 3 fold increase in onset of mood and anxiety disorders compared to boys.
So, one hypothesis is that the activation of the reproductive axis - and production of gonadal hormones including estrogen - increases disease vulnerability for girls at this time.
However, to understand how puberty itself may affect disease vulnerability, one must first understand how puberty affects neurodevelopment.
So, to begin to answer this question, I asked a very simple first question:
Prior to the onset of puberty - at that first dashed-line - are there any visible sex differences in brain function?
To do this I studied a cohort of typically developing 8-year-old children prior to onset of puberty using a neuroimaging paradigm which allows me to look at brain function.
Specifically, how brain areas communicate with each other by measuring their "functional connectivity" while children rested in an MRI scanner.
I then used an analysis tool which allowed me to go through the brain voxel by voxel to identify those that show the greatest differences between boys and girls.
The results of this analysis identified a region in the medial prefrontal cortex.
An area associated with autobiographical memory and part of a larger systems-level network called the default mode network.
Importantly the default mode network is often dysregulated it in both mood and anxiety disorders in adulthood.
We then hypothesized that girls might actually be showing increased connectivity within the default-mode network compared to boys, which might elevate their disease vulnerability.
However, as our first analysis only identified the voxels that showed the greatest differences, we had to conduct a second analysis to understand the directionality and magnitude of those differences.
The results of the second analysis are at the bottom.
We found seven regions that showed greater medial prefrontal cortex connectivity in girls compared to boys, and none where boys were greater than girls.
When you identify these regions, what you see is two-fold.
One, increased connectivity between the prefrontal cortex and other regions in the same 'default mode network.' And then two, increased connectivity in regions within a secondary-network called the 'executive control network' which is responsible for decision making, working memory, and cognitive control.
The key take home here is that prior to the onset of puberty, girls show greater within network and between network connectivity in a circuit that is associated with both mood and anxiety disorders in adults.
This highlights the connectivity of these circuits as a key point of vulnerability that may confer risk to girls across the pubertal transition and may be altered by activation of the reproductive axis and/or gonadal hormones at this time. | <urn:uuid:bfd44518-933d-405d-a175-5aed3f4620bf> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.nimh.nih.gov/news/media/2017/katherine-reding-phd-winner-of-the-2017-nimh-three-minute-talks-competition | 2024-04-18T14:45:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.944392 | 667 |

Federal Agencies Partner to Promote Coordinated Services for Patients with First Episode Psychosis
Coordinated specialty care may become more readily available
• Science Update
NIMH is the world’s leader in mental health research, yet it’s rare for that research to have an immediate impact on clinical practice. However, the NIMH-funded RAISE initiative is an exception.
On October 16, 2015, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) posted an informational bulletin to State Medicaid Directors about covering treatment for first episode psychosis. The bulletin represents a joint effort by several agencies: NIMH, CMS’ Center for Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration ( SAMHSA ). A key feature of this bulletin is CMS’ support for coordinated specialty care (CSC), the evidence-based treatment approach tested in the Recovery After an Initial Schizophrenia Episode (RAISE) initiative.
The bulletin says that the two RAISE studies, as well as the Specialized Treatment in Early Psychosis (STEP) study from Yale University, “demonstrate convincingly (1) the feasibility of first episode psychosis specialty care programs in U.S. community mental health settings, (2) that young people with psychosis and their family members accept these services, and (3) that CSC results in better clinical and functional outcomes than typical treatment.”
The rest of the bulletin goes on to explain how states can use the federal Medicaid program to pay for evidence-based first episode psychosis services, such as those tested in RAISE.
Why is this important? The RAISE initiative has shown that coordinated specialty care for first episode psychosis is better than the standard care offered in community clinics. However, covering the cost of coordinated specialty care can be challenging. When Medicaid agrees to pay for effective treatment programs, patients in need benefit. With CMS’ informational bulletin on first episode psychosis treatment, more clinics may be able to offer coordinated specialty care and the treatment may become more readily available. Decisions made by Medicaid can influence private insurance companies and the services they cover. Ultimately, this will help people experiencing first episode psychosis get effective treatment, which is important for recovery. | <urn:uuid:18655b29-3344-4ff8-a277-c2d822827c65> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.nimh.nih.gov/news/science-news/2015/federal-agencies-partner-to-promote-coordinated-services-for-patients-with-first-episode-psychosis | 2024-04-18T13:06:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.93694 | 499 |

Vinyasa Yoga: Virtual
This class is intended to be an accessible yet challenging vinyasa-flow class based loosely on the Ashtanga Method established by Tirumalai Krishnamacharya that was primarily responsible for popularizing Yoga around the world. We will begin with sun salutations to warm up the body followed by standing postures to develop strength, stamina, and balance and then come to the floor for spine and core work as well as hip and shoulders openers. We will conclude with savasana to bring a deep sense of peace to the mind and relaxation to the body.

NOAH welcomes Theresa Villiers as new Secretary of State
25th July 2019
NOAH looks forward to working with Theresa Villiers, the new Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and her team, to promote high standards of UK animal health and welfare.
Dawn Howard, NOAH Chief Executive, said: “Leaving the EU without a deal presents a serious risk to the seamless supply of the medicines our animals need to protect their health and prevent disease and suffering, despite the extensive preparation for this eventuality that our members and government departments have carried out. We are keen to continue working with Government to develop more detailed plans to safeguard supplies,” she said.
“Government now has the opportunity to take decisive action to increase farming resilience to ensure the long-term future for those farming to UK’s high health and welfare standards, as well as ensuring continued access to medicines for our vets, farmers and pet owners, as we leave the EU and beyond”.
Looking towards a new chapter in UK agriculture policy and the opportunity to marry increased productivity and a healthier environment, the future could mean farmers can be incentivised to deliver higher standards of animal health and welfare as a public good.
Dawn said: “We need to champion a regulatory environment in the UK to enable the tools to support these higher standards of animal health, not only for our farm livestock but for our pets too. Measures to encourage innovation in the veterinary medicines field will be vital. We will continue with the veterinary sector’s good work in the fight against antibiotic resistance as a priority, with a parallel need to ensure the value of vaccines in disease prevention is recognised.
“The health and welfare of animals is vital to society; they are an essential part of our food supply chain, and much-loved companions to ourselves and our families. NOAH’s vision is to be at the forefront of UK animal health and welfare,” she added.

Emily Moffitt & Hilfiger Van De Olmenhoeve. ph: Taylor Renner/ Phelps Media Group.
Thursday evening at the CP National Horse Show in Lexington, Kentucky, featured the $130,000 CP Grand Prix International Open Jumpers CSI4*-W. Competing for the first time at the historic event, Great Britain’s Emily Moffitt claimed the biggest individual win of her career to date aboard the ten-year-old Belgian Warmblood gelding Hilfiger Van De Olmenhoeve (Dulf Van Den Bishop x Querlybet Hero).
The events took place at the Kentucky Horse Park on November 2, 2017. Canada’s Michel Vaillancourt tested 43 international horses and athletes over his 13-obstacle-track in the first round. Out of the 18 combinations who jumped clear, 14 returned to battle it out in the jump-off, while the remaining four elected to save their mounts for Saturday’s highly anticipated $250,000 Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Lexington CSI4*-W.
USA’s Beezie Madden was the first to navigate the short course with no faults, piloting the nine-year-old KWPN gelding Darry Lou (Tangelo van de Zuuthoeve x Nabab de Reve), owned by Abigail Wexner, to a time of 37.260s. The would finish in an eventual 3rd place.
USA’s Laura Kraut, victor in Wednesday’s $35,000 International Open Jumpers Welcome Speed CSI4* with Whitney, followed Madden and produced another double-clear performance with Confu in 36.990s. They finished in an eventual 2nd place.
Moffitt was the fourth out of five combinations to complete the jump-off fault-free. It was Kraut and partner Nick Skelton who originally found Hilfiger Van De Olmenhoeve for Moffitt and the pair have since established a strong, winning partnership, even contributing to Great Britain’s gold medal in the young rider team competition at the FEI European Jumping Championship in August.
The duo crossed the timers in 35.70s to secure the victory.

An Imperative Paradigm Shift for Performance.
Our current paradigm of business profit above all, individual gain and authoritarian command has hit the wall in what it can achieve. The global cost has been astronomical and it’s getting worse.
The natural world is suffering catastrophic degradation at a demoralising human cost. A recent Gallup poll suggests a massive 85% of employees are actively disengaged from work. A polite way to say that a vast majority of work colleagues are anxious, frustrated and in a state of continual stress that is leading to a pandemic of burnout and ruined lives.
When in a continual stressed state our sympathetic nervous system – fight, flight or freeze response – is activated1. In this state we only have access to 5% of our brain’s available capacity. The quality of our decision-making deteriorates and our work takes a lot longer. The cost to our state of mind and quality of life is plainly unacceptable yet continues. For organisations, we simply underperform and this hidden cost is enormous.
There is an urgent need for a transformative shift in the way we work and manage society towards a living systems or regenerative paradigm. A world where leaders dare to lead with compassion for people and planet and understand that this is the foundation for flourishing business and society. A world where products, services and organizations create more value than they take2.
Our planet is a living system and when left alone it regenerates and becomes vibrant. Nature works through collaborative networks and partnerships, sensing and responds to what is happening in its environment. No leader is required. Regenerative organisations apply these lessons from nature. They re-examine the internal way of working and outer relationships from an understanding that the organisation and its stakeholders are a complex living system and builds in flexible, people-positive ways of working where employees bring their whole selves to work and discover their natural creativity and motivation.
It seems to be complete and utter common sense that if employees have more well-being, energy and are happier, performance will improve. For each of us this comes from self-reflection and reconnecting our overly rational thinking with our emotional, intuitive, and somatic intelligence.3
We need to reconnect our left hemisphere brain of analysis with the right hemisphere of creativity; our inner heart and gut with our outer head of policy and finance; and our masculine side driving results with our feminine side of relationship building. We need to reconnect and be in awe and curious about what we can learn from nature. A guide that can also help us to reconnect is the recently released Inner Development Goals4 (IDG’s) of BEING, THINKING, RELATING, COLLABORATING and ACTING. There are 23 underlying inner skills and competencies that will help us be more in tune with our true inner nature. When we reconnect in this way our parasympathetic nervous system kicks in more often, we relax, life becomes more in flow and we connect with others more effectively. Leaders of regenerative organisations, when reconnected to themselves and others, work differently. They are bold enough to scrap outdated models and lead from care and compassion for people and nature. They create adaptability and resilience without the need for top-down authority and excessive control mechanisms. They trust and encourage colleagues’ wisdom to take appropriate decisions. A happy, engaged workforce improves performance for the individual and their organisation. We have the technology, understanding and funds to move to a living systems/regenerative paradigm. It has become imperative to transform our mindset to know this operating mode will help business, nature and society to flourish and to take action towards achieving it.

Nebraska farmers have started the process of harvesting this year’s crops. The good news of a bountiful harvest comes with the possibility of crop damage. If you are a farmer in Nebraska who experiences crop damage, it is important to know the steps involved in filing a crop insurance claim. It is also important to know what NOT to do when filing a claim.
DO’s and DON’T’s of Filing a Crop Insurance Claim
–Keeping records: Good records are essential if you need to file an insurance claim. Keep track of all receipts, contracts, and other documentation related to your crops.
–Reporting damage as soon as possible: If you notice damage to your crops, it is important to contact your crop insurance agent right away. The sooner you report the damage, the sooner your claim can be processed.
– Filing a timely claim: Once you have reported the damage to your crops, you will need to file a formal insurance claim. Be sure to follow the instructions on how to file a claim, and be sure to do so promptly.
– Failing to report damage: If you fail to report crop damage promptly, you may be denied coverage.
– Making false claims: It is important to remember that crop insurance fraud is a crime. You could face fines and/or jail time if caught making a false claim.
– Not following instructions: When filing a crop insurance claim, be sure to follow the instructions carefully. Failure to do so could result in a delayed or denied claim.
Step by Step: How to File a Crop Insurance Claim
If you experience crop damage, the first step is to contact your crop insurance agent. Once you have reported the damage, you must file a formal insurance claim. To do so, follow these steps:
– Gathering all the necessary documentation: Before you begin the claims process, be sure to gather all the necessary documentation. This includes receipts, contracts, and other documentation related to your crops. If you fail to include all the required documentation, your claim may be delayed or denied. When in doubt, include more documentation rather than less.
– Filling out the necessary paperwork: The next step is to fill out the necessary paperwork. This includes a damage report, which you and your crop insurance agent must sign. Be sure to complete all the required forms and include all the required information.
– Submitting the claim: Once you have completed the necessary paperwork, you must submit your claim to the crop insurance company. Be sure to do so in a timely manner.
– Following up on the claim: After you have submitted your claim, it is important to follow up with the crop insurance company. This will help ensure that your claim is being processed in a timely manner.
What Should You Do If Your Claim is Denied?
If your crop insurance claim is denied, don’t give up. You have the right to appeal the decision. To do so, you will need to submit a written request for an appeal within 30 days of receiving the denial notice. Ensure all the necessary documentation and a detailed explanation of why you believe the denial was unwarranted. You can also request a hearing, which will give you the opportunity to present your case in person.
By following these steps, you can reduce the stress of filing a crop insurance claim and increase the chances of having your claim approved.

The German jazz singer Anette von Eichel moved to the Netherlands in 1994 to study with the American singer Rachel Gould at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. Since graduation, Von Eichel has been exploring the whole spectrum of jazz. Free jazz, big band music, small jazz ensembles; she goes in search of the right form and finds it with her own international band with Michael Erian (sax), Jakob Frandsen (guitar), Wolfert Brederode (piano), Jens Loh (double bass) and Thorsten Grau (drums). The compositions of the band are modern, and von Eichel sings beautiful, without sounding artificial. Her first solo CD Welcome To My World, an acoustic record produced by Hein van de Geyn, was released last year. The German Frankfurter Allgemeine called it ‘a debut with prospects’. According to the paper, ‘Anette knows all the facets of scatting and phrasing’. | <urn:uuid:6370dc98-bdcf-4497-b5e9-bd172d5235fe> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.northseajazz.com/en/program/2002/saturday-13-july/226-anette-von-eichel | 2024-04-18T14:08:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.913233 | 211 |

Fast and Easy: How to Optimize Your WordPress Site’s Speed
Have you ever visited a website where you really wanted to view and engage with their content, only to be turned off by the web page’s loading time? Even worse, have you seen cases where you or others that you know have lost sales only because their web page took a few seconds more to load? Major e-commerce websites stress that long page loading speeds lose them thousands of dollars in revenue for their business, and several other web entrepreneurs fall into the same trap. People are more engaged with the internet now than ever before. However, many web entrepreneurs that use Wordpress haven’t taken any actions toward improving the website’s speed. In the following guest article, we have provided proven basic methods for improving the loading speed of your web pages and increase the performance of your website. Optimize your WordPress now.
Test the Page Loading Performance of Your Web Pages
You need to know how quickly your site’s content is loading for web users. Two of the best online tools to use are Pingdom Tools and Google PageSpeed Insights. Pingdom Tools will give you the website loading time as well as the sequence in which the web files are loaded on your web page and how long they take to load. From looking at the visuals that they provide, you can clearly see which files need to be optimized to improve the web page’s loading time. You can even see how the loading time is broken down by the DNS and server response. Google’s PageSpeed Insights provides a performance score which is also attributed to speed. However they don't specify any timings with the files that are being loaded. Instead, they offer suggestions for optimizing the web page to improve the performance score on both the mobile and desktop version of your website. You can continue to optimize the recommended elements on your web pages until you receive scores that will give you a green tick (which is usually a score above 80).What Improvements Can You Make With Your Wordpress Website?
Aim to keep your web page size to 1MB.
This is a bold goal. The lower the size of the web page, the quicker the web page should load. Large files such as embedded audio files, video files, and images can significantly impact a web page’s loading time. Furthermore, themes and plugins can also slow down the performance of the website. We recommend doing the following.Minimize the size of your images.
One of the biggest culprits for slowing down websites comes from large image files being hosted on the web server. When images are used on your site, they should be configured and uploaded with minimum display dimensions. Additionally, the files should be compressed in size. Compression tools such as TinyPNG, and Compressor.io can reduce file sizes by up to 60%. You can also use the WP Smush plugin to compress the image files even further once they have been uploaded to your Wordpress site.Serve your content from a content delivery network (CDN).
The location of your hosted content also has a tremendous impact on the page loading time of your website. For example, if your site is hosted in New Zealand and someone wants to access your website’s content in Scotland, there will be a time lag between them requesting the content from your server to display on their device. When your site is configured with a CDN, the site’s content can be delivered much quicker since the content can be stored on servers around the world. Check CDN options with your web hosting company or look into inexpensive options such as a CDN from Amazon S3. Once you have your CDN in place, you will need to configure the CDN to your Wordpress site. You can install plugins such as W3 Cache (which is free and can be accessed via the Wordpress repository), or you can opt for a premium option such as WP Rocket. Once installed, you can configure the CDN settings so that your website’s content will be loaded from the content delivery network instead of the server of your web host. Google’s accelerated mobile project (AMP) is an Open Source project committed to improving content delivery solutions for websites, which will enhance web user’s experience. AMP can be installed on Wordpress from the Plugin repository and then be configured with Yoast’s add-on ‘Glue’, which can also be downloaded from the Plugin repository.Other Considerations to Keep in Mind
Choose a Reliable Web Hosting Provider
Your optimization efforts will be in vain if you pick a slow web hosting provider. Consider investing in a dedicated server or VPS solution.Invest in a Light Theme
There are several themes that might look pretty, however if they take a long time to load or if they are too heavy in size, they will severely impact your site’s speed performance. Look for reputable themes that are known to be light and quick, such as themes based on the Genesis Framework.Only Use Essential Plugins
Unused plugins can run in the background and slow down your website’s performance. If you have any unused plugins, turn them off and delete them from Wordpress if they are no longer required. With these improvements, your site should be able to load in less than two seconds. However, there are always more improvements that can be made to improve your website’s loading time. Do you have any other methods that you feel should be added? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

NRL CEO Todd Greenberg is expected to give evidence on Tuesday in the Federal Court as Jack de Belin's legal challenge to the game's new "no fault stand-down" policy continues.
Player agent Steve Gillis and RLPA COO Tim Lythe took the stand as the case begun on Monday with de Belin's lawyer, Martin Einfeld QC comparing the NRL's policy with the ban imposed on former Australian cricket captain Kim Hughes for leading a rebel tour to South Africa.
De Belin attended the opening day of the hearing, while former St George Illawarra team-mate Mark Gasnier was an interested observer in the Sydney court.
Greenberg, NRL chief commercial officer Andrew Abdo and Melbourne Storm chairman Bart Campbell are set to testify on the need to implement the "no-fault stand down" policy on March 11.
Under the policy, de Belin remains on full pay and can train with the Dragons but the NSW Origin lock is unable to play while he defends a sexual assault charge.
The policy applies to any player facing a criminal charge carrying a maximum penalty of 11 years or more in jail, while Greenberg has the discretion to impose a "no-fault stand down" of players on lesser charges.
Manly centre Dylan Walker and Penrith utility Tyrone May are also currently unable to play after Greenberg used his discretionary powers.
Einfeld told the court that the policy was "harsh", "unfair" and "draconian".
He said de Belin's case was similar to the Western Australian Cricket Association's decision to ban Hughes after he returned from the rebel South African tour and attempted to play club cricket in Perth.
Hughes won a court hearing against the WACA in 1988.
"It's unprecedented, as far as the evidence enables one to tell, in any sporting code in Australia," Einfeld said.
Gillis, who manages de Belin, told the court de Belin needed to be playing to maintain his market value when he comes off contract at the end of 2020 season.
"I would expect that the player would take a severe financial hit if the player is not allowed to ply his trade in the next 18 months," Gillis said. "He needs to be in the shop front window." | <urn:uuid:c10a17bb-34ff-4097-a035-5a7a4d72c61b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.nrl.com/news/2019/04/15/greenberg-to-take-stand-in-de-belin-hearing/ | 2024-04-18T13:57:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.969687 | 467 |
The Future of Refrigerants
Balancing Safe Working with Environmental Concerns
Refrigerants are becoming a larger part of our daily lives
Written by John Hammond, NPD Heat Pump Manager November 2022
Whether in the form of air conditioning in offices, shops, and cars, or even keeping our food cold, refrigerants are everywhere. But as we start placing more reliance on these gases, it’s important to consider the serious effect they have on the climate.
Refrigerants are essential to modern living, but the effect they have on the planet is considerable. In fact, the cooling industry accounts for 10% of global CO2 emissions. Not only do cooling systems use a considerable amount of energy, but refrigerant gases are also bad for the ozone. Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) and chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants are greenhouse gases, breaking down the ozone if released into the atmosphere, leading to global warming
Each type of refrigerant has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) – a figure that allows us to compare the global warming impacts of different gases. CO2 acts as the base, with a GWP of 1. As an example, R410a refrigerant has a GWP of 2088 – this translates into an equivalent of 2088 metric tons of CO2. It’s for this reason that effort is being made to move away from high-GWP refrigerants.
University of Birmingham (2016) Clean Cold and the Global Goals.
The Drive Towards Lower-GWP Refrigerants
To future-proof the cooling industry, an active effort needs to be made to move away from high-GWP refrigerants. Not only do air conditioning plants using low-GWP refrigerants use less energy, but the gases are also less harmful to the planet. This reduced energy usage as well as lower warming potential is a big leap in helping reduce global carbon footprints for the cooling industry.
Legislation and standards are driving our industry in the direction of lower-GWP gases via a wider acceptance of flammable refrigerants. Often, low-GWP refrigerants are more flammable and require a smaller charge, however, the industry is pushing these in favour of lowering global warming. But it would be foolish to ignore the added safety concerns and requirements that come with using these newer refrigerants. As we move towards lower-GWP refrigerants, safety needs to remain a key concern.
When working with A2L and A3 flammable gases, workers need to be aware of the added danger and the differences and nuances when working with different refrigerant types. An understanding of what constitutes as safe working for each refrigerant, as well as a general understanding of how to safely work with pressure equipment and explosive substances is vital. An industry-wide commitment to upskilling F-gas engineers to a higher understanding of PE(S)R and safe working practices (DSEAR) will help safeguard and futureproof the industry for the changes to come.
The future of the cooling industry will have a heavy focus on the difficulty of ensuring the safe working whilst also lowering our environmental impact. As we start to develop and use refrigerants with lower environmental impacts, constant training needs to be enforced to ensure our workforce is confident and keeping up with the ever-changing market. The cooling industry of the future is due to look very different to the cooling industry of today, but with an industry-wide commitment and enough investment, we can ensure safe working practices whilst also lowering the industry’s carbon footprint. | <urn:uuid:ade27dde-2504-4b20-80a1-f4ae83ed9bd6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.nuaire.co.uk/blog/the-future-of-refrigerants | 2024-04-18T13:15:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.932281 | 733 |
Working together to conserve species
Cooperation is crucial to the conservation and protection of species at risk. In 1996, the governments of the Northwest Territories and Canada , together with other provinces and territories, signed an Accord agreeing to establish complementary legislation and programs that provide for effective protection of species at risk throughout Canada.
The territorial Species at Risk (NWT) Act and the federal Species at Risk Act (SARA) both apply in the Northwest Territories (NWT). They are designed to work in a complementary fashion with other legislation and cooperatively with Indigenous people to protect species at risk and their habitats.
Each Act has a legal list of species at risk: the NWT List of Species at Risk (territorial) and SARA Schedule 1 (federal). For the NWT List of Species at Risk, the decisions are made by the Conference of Management Authorities. For SARA Schedule 1, the decisions are made by the Government of Canada.
To learn how the legislation works to protect NWT species at risk, see links under Our Work.
The Species at Risk (NWT) Act came into force in February 2010. It provides a process and tools to identify, protect and recover species at risk in the Northwest Territories. It allows for concerns about species to be addressed at the NWT level.
- Understanding the Species at Risk (NWT) Act - brochure
- Flow charts for processes under the Species at Risk (NWT) Act
The Species at Risk Committee (SARC) is an independent group of experts that assesses the biological status of species that may be at risk of extinction in the NWT using Indigenous and community knowledge and science.
The Conference of Management Authorities (CMA) is the group of co-management boards and governments that share responsibility for the conservation and recovery of species in the NWT. They provide direction, coordination and leadership on species at risk.
The NWT Species at Risk Secretariat provides professional, technical and administrative assistance to the CMA and SARC to support them in exercising their powers and performing their duties.
The NWT Species Conservation and Recovery Fund provides funding for projects that support the long-term conservation and recovery of species that are at risk in the NWT.
The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) is a national committee of experts that assesses the biological status of species in Canada. COSEWIC makes a recommendation on “risk level” to the federal government. The evaluation process is independent, open and transparent. For more information on Canadian status assessment go directly to the COSEWIC website or view their Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
Some species in the NWT are legally listed under the federal Species at Risk Act (SARA), legislation for the protection of species at risk in Canada. After receiving COSEWIC's assessment and consulting with the appropriate Minister(s) and the wildlife management boards, the responsible federal Minister makes a recommendation to the Governor in Council and the decision is made on whether or not to add species to the list of species at risk (Schedule 1) on the Species at Risk Act, or to refer the matter back to COSEWIC for further information or consideration. For more information on SARA, visit the federal Species at Risk Public Registry.

Whatever your experience and circumstances, chartering is always a good alternative.
Many of us get our first taste of boat fishing aboard a snapper charter. It can be a great experience leaving you wanting more or it could turn you away forever. If you are thinking of going on a charter boat, choose carefully. First you need to decide on both your budget and your target.
Most charters specialise in a certain style of fishing. Those that simply target bottom species such as snapper and tarakihi using baits tend to be the less expensive options. A typical snapper charter, though, is a day trip.
Not all snapper charter operations are created equal, and to a degree you get what you pay for. Some of the more expensive ones favour softbaits and lures, although they generally allow bait fishing too. Charter trips may be only a few hours long, or overnight. It makes sense that more expensive charters usually go further afield to make the experience more memorable for their clients. An inexpensive charter operating out of Auckland is unlikely to travel far offshore.
When the weather in Tairua wasn't looking great, Tom Maxwell of Epic Adventures took his clients all the way to the West coast off Manukau to catch this 128.2kg striped marlin in late January; the first for the angler Shane Clapp and the team.
Blue water expeditions
Some charters specialise in species such as kingfish and hapuku, or game fishing for marlin and broadbill. Generally, these will fish locations such as White Island, East Cape, Ranfurly Banks or the King Bank. Popular fishing personality Matt Watson honed his trade as a deckie aboard what must be New Zealand’s premier game fishing vessel for hire, Primetime. They often fished the Wanganella Banks, which is out of range of all but the biggest vessels. Naturally, you can expect to pay a whole lot more for an offshore adventure targeting big deep water species.
Cobalt Charters cater for groups interested in bottom fishing for snapper. The skipper works hard and doesn't mind sharing his knowledge. It is a very well set up boat with identical gear and tackle at every bait station.
While a top end charter can’t guarantee you a lot of fish, it will get you a skipper who will do everything he can to ensure you enjoy the experience. When you find a charter that suits you, it really pays to stay with it.
Over the years I’ve been on many charter boats, several of them returns visits and long ago I lost count of trips. While I can’t recall being too disappointed when I’ve had a good catch, I have also had very enjoyable trips without a lot of fish coming aboard. Sadly, there have also been times I’ve sworn I’d never set foot on ‘that boat’ again. Before you book a trip, ask around for recommendations.
Cobalt charters run a very slick operation. Quality gear with a bait board and knife at each fishing 'station'. It's one of the tidiest boats around.
Many charter operators will take both group and individual bookings. My preference by far is to fish with a group of friends who mostly have an understanding of where and how they will be fishing. I have booked places on charters for two or three of us where we were fishing with strangers, and that can be an enjoyable or unpleasant experience depending on the makeup and attitudes of the other anglers. Enjoying a beer or two with your mates is a different experience from fishing with a bunch of drunks you don’t know!
I was once invited on an overnight trip to White Island to target kingfish, hapuku, bass and bluenose. I only knew one on board, my brother-in-law. They turned out a great bunch of guys, although I was concerned when we stopped for ‘supplies’ in Whakatane. The event was fully catered, but understandably any drinks we wanted to take were not included. The three of us who weren’t drinking woke at 5.00am to the sound of twin diesels firing up. Running into big swells leaving the sheltered bay of White Island soon had me feeling queasy, but grateful I had not overindulged the night before. That feeling was reinforced forty minutes later when I was feeling much better and enjoying the ride in what was still the biggest sea I have fished in. The first of some very tired, green-gilled individuals surfaced a couple of hours later, and it wasn’t a pretty sight. Some didn’t even have the desire to catch fish. Those who did had the more able-bodied winding in their catch. I thought it was great, but it certainly was tiring hauling in hapuku from 350m.
Multiple hook ups aren't uncommon, the skipper works hard in this situation!
- Listen to the skipper and follow his advice and instructions
- Dispose of litter or rubbish responsibly
- Match methods of fishing to fit with the rest of the crew
- Use at least the same weight sinker as the guy in front of you; tangles are always a pain.
Charter boats are a great way to get kids into fishing
- Go under-gunned, use gear suited to the task at hand
- Start fishing the moment the boat stops as the boat may turn on anchor
- Keep doing the same thing if it’s not working for you; ask the skipper for advice
- Take too much gear it will get in the way and could get broken
- Set unrealistic expectations but treat it as an adventure - big fish aren’t always going to be caught
- Take more fish than you are allowed or need.

- Take a sense of humour
- Ask advice from the skipper or deck hand before trying a different technique
- Ask your mates if they want to donate towards a kitty for the biggest fish
- Look and learn from others; it is the best way to learn.
The skips most important job, fixing tangles
Before you book your charter it is important to understand a little about the operation and there are some important questions you should ask. For starters, you need to know what gear to take and while most charters can supply gear, make sure it is tackle you are comfortable using. You should also ask about additional costs, such as loan gear. If you are fishing for kingfish, hapuku or gamefish, discuss whether your gear is up to the task. There’s no point in taking your snapper strayline set on a specialist kingfish charter.
When considering a charter, make contact well ahead as good boats are usually booked months in advance. Try and get a group together; it’s usually a lot more fun if you are fishing with friends. Sometimes people commit happily but at the last minute can’t make it. Set the rules early and have people to pay in advance. If there is a cancellation due to the weather some of your group may not be able to make the new date so you will need a contingency plan. The charter operator may have a list of people he can call on or you may simply decide to chip in a little more to cover the cost of the missing members. If you can’t get a group together, individual bookings can work out fine too. Just be aware that you don’t know who you will be fishing beside.
A typical Hauraki Gulf snapper
Many years ago a mate and I booked a trip to the Poor Knights islands. It was in the days before they were granted marine reserve status. Weather postponed the trip three times, and in the end only three of the original crew of eight made the trip. Luckily we were able to fill all the spots.
Listen to skip
Regardless of whether you are on your own or with a group, always listen to the skipper’s advice. He is out there doing it most days and almost always knows what is and what isn’t working. The crew on board your charter can make or break the trip. While a good skipper and deck hand will do everything possible to put people on fish and offer advice, they can only do so much. There are those who just don’t listen, determined to do things their way. An exceptional skipper will at least try to overcome that and do his best to give his clients what they want.

Naturally, obey any rules on the boat. One thing that will get you offside with any skipper is allowing your rubbish to go in the water. Not using the bait boards provided also won’t win you any favours. Often the crew will take care of the fish for you by netting, unhooking, releasing or despatching. If you are new to fishing this can be a great opportunity to watch, ask questions, and learn. Fishing alongside others is one of the best ways to master fishing. Not only do you see new, different and better ways to do things, you also see things go wrong. Sometimes there’s more to be learnt by seeing what you shouldn’t do!

Even though I have been a boat owner for over twenty years I still enjoy charters. I regularly fish aboard Diversity in the Hauraki Gulf. A group of us target snapper using jigs and softbaits in deep water, almost always drift fishing. As we are mostly experienced fishermen there is a lot of knowledge to be shared. I’ve learnt from fishing beside some of the best in the business. A good sense of humour is always a good thing to take fishing with you, and the team on Diversity have no trouble keeping the fun going.

So, while a charter is a good way to get into fishing, there is plenty to offer the more experienced angler too. Kingfish, hapuku and marlin are not within striking distance for many fishermen and not everyone owns a boat. Far-off destinations are something best done via charter boat. Not many of us have the means to get to the King Bank, the Ranfurly Banks or White Island, all of which are hotspots. It is especially important on those trips to use the right gear and most boats will be able to provide it. Once again, ask first!
Questions you should ask when booking a charter

- What gear should I bring?
- Is bait supplied, if not what do you recommend?
- Is ice provided?
- Is lunch provided?
- Is hire gear available and at what cost?
- Do you have people available to fill a spot if someone in my group can’t make it?
- What will we be fishing for and where will we be fishing?
- What happens if the trip is postponed due to bad weather?
- What have I not asked that I need to know?

What is lungworm?
Lungworm is an emerging parasite that affects dogs in the UK. It has become very common in Southern England and South Wales and cases are increasingly occurring in Northern England and Scotland. This is a potentially fatal disease so something we all need be aware of.
Lungworm (Angiostrongylus vasorum) is a parasite that can cause breathing problems and coughing due to its effects on the lungs. It can also affect blood clotting which can potentially cause nose bleeds, bleeding into the eye and excessive bleeding from minor wounds, among other signs.
How do dogs catch it?
Lungworm parasites can be carried by dogs and foxes, so it appears increasing numbers of foxes, especially in urban areas, increases the spread of the parasite. Dogs become infected by ingesting slugs or snails (or their slime) as these contain the infective larvae. Any dog eating slugs, snails or grass in an affected area is at risk.
Larvae may also be ingested by dogs when drinking from puddles. Dog toys or bowls left out in the garden at night are thought to be a source of infection as they attract slugs and snails and may get covered in slime. The parasite does not pass directly from dog to dog. However, picking up dog faeces will reduce the level of parasites getting into the slug/snail population.
Interesting fact…lungworm does not affect cats!
What are the symptoms to look for?
Lungworm disease can easily be missed as often the signs can mimic a lot of other diseases e.g. clotting disorders, bronchitis, neurological signs, anaemia, general malaise etc.
Diagnosis is either from finding larvae in faeces of an affected dog or from a blood test detecting presence of the parasite. Also, chest x-rays or endoscopy of the airways may be used if there are respiratory signs.
Prompt treatment is needed of affected cases as the disease can be fatal, unfortunately. However, cases caught early enough can be treated and will usually recover.
Prevention of this parasite is with monthly use of a suitable anti parasitic. Routine combined roundworm/tapeworm treatments are ineffective against this parasite. Only those products available from your vet or on prescription will be effective. Milbemycin (eg Milbemax) will prevent this parasite but needs to be given monthly.
Other measures to reduce risk of infection include:
- trying to stop your dog eating slugs or snails
- avoiding leaving toys outside overnight
- regularly cleaning outside water bowls
- picking up poo – this reduces the spread of the parasite

How Do You Deal With Size Issues In Staff Uniform Rollouts?
When it comes to maintaining a large team’s uniforms, the intricacy of achieving consistent size across a variety of uniform components may be the most stressful aspect of the garment industry. And it’s confusing, annoying, and can result in a huge number of returns for your personnel.
The size and fit of the clothing will vary depending on the manufacturer, regardless of the size tag it bears. And if the fit is wrong, so is the appearance!
Why is “uniform fit” so difficult?
Anyone with a physique is probably aware of the disparity in garment sizes. A size 10 chest measurement might vary by several inches between brands. The arbitrary numerical measurements of men’s and women’s apparel sizes vary between uniform suppliers, each with their edition of a sizing “standard.” Isn’t it complicated?
Another factor to consider is that manufacturers do not cater to all sizes.
Petite bodies, straighter or curvier, shorter or taller height, plus-sized bodies, “in-between” sizes, or anybody else who does not fit into “normal” apparel sizes are all under-represented segments of the population. Some firms make uniform selection selections without carefully considering the numerous sizes that their uniform program must accommodate.
The cost of incorrect uniform sizing
For those who believe that buying a uniform in the wrong size is only a small hassle. Consider it again. Consider the consequences of having employees who are not in uniform while the right size is being organized.
Employees in various businesses are rostered to a remote site, which necessitates the use of specialized clothing and PPE. When they arrive on-site for the first time and their uniform is ill-fitting and judged dangerous for them to execute their jobs, the employer may incur large costs in missed earnings with no result.
Recommend Post : Know These If You Are a Uniform Supplier
With eCommerce being such a big part of our lives these days, customers have come to anticipate free returns. This isn’t always the case with business uniforms. It is the individual ordering the uniform’s obligation to guarantee the right sizes for each outfit.
If organizations do not handle the “return supply chain” correctly, the cost can quickly escalate. Unless there is a manufacturing defect, it is uncommon for a uniform supplier to pay the price of returns. Return charges might include, to mention a few, extra packing, restocking fees, personnel costs to analyze the returned products, mailing costs, and return postage.
There are a few approaches you may use to decrease returns in your uniform program:
- Use a size recommendation tool to help consumers find the best fit.
- Using video examples, teach individuals how to correctly self-measure.
- Provide an appropriate size chart – provide a clear and easy-to-understand size chart to assist consumers in self-measuring and determining the optimum size for them.
- Improve product information – comprehensive descriptions that highlight characteristics of the garment’s fit might be beneficial to your team when buying uniforms.
- Invest in enhanced product images – consult with your uniform provider on the best method to market your uniform program to personnel.
Reduce returns by ordering the correct size (and fit) the first time.
How can firms overcome uniform sizing issues?
- Make use of internet sizing tools.
- Organize uniform roadshows
- Teach employees to self-measure
- Get a sizing range
Whatever technique is adopted, the end goal should be to make it easy for your personnel to buy uniforms that fit and make them feel confident. It has been proved that a confident employee who feels comfortable in a uniform they are happy to wear will perform better.
Business owners, if you want to cut down on your sizing issues too, make sure to deal with one of the top uniform manufacturers in the industry. Curate an order based on your bulk needs and don’t forget to mention customization details. | <urn:uuid:e76cbad2-ada1-41c4-b1d8-57a8e65c3e52> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.oasisuniform.net/how-do-you-deal-with-size-issues-in-staff-uniform-rollouts/ | 2024-04-18T13:15:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.932573 | 835 |

Tashkent, 11 May 2017
This has been the first ever visit to Uzbekistan by any of the six UN High Commissioners for Human Rights, since the Office of the High Commissioner was established in 1993, just two years after Uzbekistan became independent, and one year after it became a member of the United Nations.
It has been a very brief visit indeed — effectively one full, highly intense, day of meetings yesterday, and a few hours in Samarkand today. That was shorter than either my Office or the Government of Uzbekistan intended, as we both viewed this visit as very important, very significant. But in the end, because of conflicting schedules, one full day of meetings was all we could manage without postponing the visit until the autumn — which neither of us wished to do.
I am very glad we did not postpone it. We packed a great deal of discussion into a single day yesterday, culminating in a 90-minute meeting between myself and President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, in which we found much common ground and reached agreements on a number of concrete steps.
My predecessors visited the four other Central Asian Republics on a number of occasions, but none of us was able to visit this country. When we set up our Regional Office in Bishkek in 2008, Uzbekistan made it clear that the office covered four countries, not five. After my meeting with the President yesterday, we have a clear agreement that our Regional Office will from now on work closely with all five Central Asian Republics, and our Regional Representative, Ryszard Komenda, is here with us today. That is one important result of this visit, which should enable the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the wider UN human rights system, to deepen cooperation during what appears to be a key moment in Uzbekistan’s history, with the Government embarking on an ambitious and — on first sight at least — very dynamic programme of reform.
I should note at this point that this visit and its outcomes have not come out of the blue. There has been gradual progress on human rights in Uzbekistan over the past four years, with much credit due to the Resident Coordinator and the UN Country Team here who, in the absence of any permanent presence of my Office, have made the advancement of human rights a priority, and have cooperated with many Government departments on human-rights related issues leading to a National Action Plan being adopted in November 2014, and a continuous human rights dialogue and succession of activities between the UN and the Government since then. I believe the approach of the Resident Coordinator and Country Team has been a commendable — almost model — example of the Secretary-General’s policy of ‘Human Rights Up Front’ being enacted across the whole UN system, as was intended. And it is heartening to see that their efforts are also clearly appreciated by the Government, with the acceptance by all concerned that peace, security and development will not be durable without a strong grounding in human rights.
On the back of such a short visit I am not going to attempt a full overview of all human right issues in Uzbekistan. I note however that there was a consistent recognition in all my meetings with senior government officials and members of the judiciary that the country has — to put it in the words of one Minister — “issues and challenges.”
There was also a statement of intent, repeated on a number of occasions, that the response to those issues and challenges needs to be rooted in international human rights laws and standards, and that there is some way to go in this regard. The Speaker of the Parliament Legislative Chamber, for example, stressed this point and said that every new law is now going through a process to see if it is compliant with international human rights standards.
This clear-eyed acceptance that there are problems, and there are also well-honed solutions to those problems available within the framework of international law and the institutions designed to uphold them, is key. This means we can really get down to business.
Over the past eight months or so, the Government of Uzbekistan has initiated a dizzying array of new laws, policies and plans with human rights ramifications. According to the Minister of Justice, whom I met alongside the Minister of Interior and Prosecutor-General yesterday afternoon, the Government has a target of adopting 125 regulatory documents in 2017 alone — and a number of other key laws and regulations were already being drawn up, discussed and adopted during the last few months of 2016. Again, I will not attempt to analyse, or even summarise, these during this short statement. In general, the aims appear to be substantive, constructive and important.
Human rights — all categories of human rights — figure very prominently across the five sets of priorities laid out in the over-arching policy document guiding these proposed reforms — the President’s 2017-21 Action Strategy. Anyone wishing to understand what underlies the changes starting to take place in Uzbekistan — and what lies behind my visit — should look closely at the Action Strategy.
The five priorities of the Action Strategy are:
1) Improving the public administration system, including political, parliamentary and public administration reform, and plans to enhance public accountability. This in turn includes effective mechanisms for dialogue with the people — already under way; better public oversight — already producing some results, in terms of criminal cases brought against corrupt officials; and much-needed strengthening of civil society and the media. The journalists attending this press briefing are in a better place than me to judge whether or not you are beginning to see some tangible improvements in terms of freedom of expression and freedom for the media to operate, criticise, contribute to holding the authorities accountable for their actions — and I would be interested in hearing your views during the question and answer session.
2) Ensuring rule of law, and reform of the justice system, including the vital element of making the judiciary impartial and independent of the executive, which it has not been in the past — a situation that has contributed to much of the injustice faced by individuals in Uzbekistan. This priority area also contains a number of provisions related to the protection of individual rights and freedoms, and access to justice, as well as measures to tackle corruption. It also proposes measures to enhance oversight of the law enforcement and regulatory authorities, and to identify and deal with systemic violations committed by them, as well as measures to improve performance, with a strong emphasis on training and re-training of public officials. This is an area where my Office can of course offer some concrete assistance, for example in providing training of judges, which is a service we have often provided in other parts of the world, and the Minister of Justice and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court both requested our assistance with the retraining of judges on international legal standards.
3) Development and liberalization of the economy. The proposed major economic reforms include measures to support small businesses and strengthen the protection of rights of private property, as well as measures to mitigate climate change, assist the many Uzbeks working in the agricultural sector and reduce disparities in the socio-economic development of the regions.
4) Development of the social sector, with a focus on employment and reduction of low-income families, strengthening of social protection of vulnerable populations, including the elderly and persons with disabilities; reform of the health care sector, with stress laid on both accessibility and quality of health and social services; targeted programmes to build affordable housing and enhance infrastructure; development and significant improvement of the education sector, both in terms of teaching and in terms of infrastructure; and a strong focus on Uzbekistan’s youth, including not just education but also social protections. I have been given the good news that the Parliament is expected to ratify the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities shortly.
5) Security, religious tolerance and inter-ethnic harmony, and constructive foreign policy. Balancing these issues, while ensuring the rights of the individual, is of course crucial — both to security and to human rights. As in other countries, I have emphasised that the answer to the risk of radicalization is not simply heavy-handed security measures and repressive policies which breed resentment and frustration, thereby making it easier for extremists to recruit new supporters. I also welcome the focus in this section of the Action Strategy on improving relations with Uzbekistan’s neighbours, including resolving the sensitive border issues inherited from the Soviet Union, and playing a constructive role in wider international affairs.
The Action Strategy provides an impressive framework for the numerous reforms demanded by the President and planned by the Government. I encourage the Government to monitor actual human rights results as part of the High Level Government monitoring of the implementation of the Action Strategy. Needless to say, frameworks and plans are one thing, and results are another — especially when it comes to human rights, when States often make fine promises but fail to back them up with real change. Nevertheless, I believe the intent is evidently genuine — and while there is some scepticism outside Uzbekistan that this may amount to window-dressing, I have not encountered such scepticism during my visit here.
I was particularly struck by yesterday’s meeting with members of civil society. Firstly, the attendance was high — some 60 people in all (twice as many people as we were expecting) from different segments of civil society, including some of those most critical of the authorities. Secondly, several participants expressed very forthright opinions, yet there seemed to be little or no anxiety about the presence of numerous TV cameras, including state television.
Although the meeting was short — much too short to hear everyone’s views — the enthusiasm was palpable. As one participant said: “This is the first time in 12 years that we have had a meeting like this.” I hope that we are indeed seeing a new dawn for civil society in Uzbekistan, and that from now on such open, forthright, well-attended meetings become the norm. If the President and his Government are to achieve their declared aims they will need a strong, vibrant and dynamic civil society — and media — helping them, but also pushing them, criticizing them and exposing failings, gaps and injustices, without fear of repression or reprisal.
In this respect, I have raised with the authorities the need to continue — as quickly as possible — with the release of more political prisoners, some of whom have been serving very long sentences after the type of highly problematic trial processes that the authorities state they wish to put an end to.
I have also suggested the Government adopts measures to quickly resolve the continuing lack of transparency about what goes in Uzbekistan’s prisons and other places of detention, with the aim of ensuring that torture and other forms of ill-treatment are halted once and for all, in line with Uzbekistan’s commitments under the Convention Against Torture. I believe ratifying the Optional Protocol to that Convention — which creates a monitoring system and entities that can enter any prison, at any time, unannounced, would greatly enhance and accelerate the effort to end torture, which is one of the issues that has been most damaging to Uzbekistan’s international reputation over the years. I am glad that the Government is considering this.
To help it advance its efforts to live up to its treaty obligations, I am recommending — and the Government itself is proposing — closer cooperation with the other parts of the UN human rights system, including the Treaty Bodies and Special Procedures. After a gap of some 15 years, during which not a single Special Procedure has been invited to visit the country, I am delighted to hear the Government’s confirmation that cooperation will be resumed, starting with an invitation to the Special Rapporteur on the Freedom of Religion or Belief. Like civil society, they play a vital role in providing expert advice on positive reform and in pointing out gaps and failings.
In recent years the Government has proved that it can make major systematic efforts to eradicate an entrenched human rights violation — for example in the concerted and highly successful effort it made to end the age-old practice of large scale forced child labour during the annual cotton harvests. The Action Strategy implies similar efforts to eradicate other entrenched violations — including torture, harassment by security forces, and indeed the continued forced unpaid labour of adults during the cotton harvests.
And accountability — also covered in the Action Strategy — will be key to all of this. On Saturday, we will mark the 12th anniversary of the terrible events that took place in Andijan on 13 May 2005. While it is important to look forward, it also important to come to terms with past events and ensure that victims are not forgotten and their grievances are addressed.
I had another glimpse of change already under way this morning in the historic city of Samarkand, where I visited the ‘People’s Reception Office of the President’ for the Samarkand region. This was set up as part of the President’s initiative to listen to people all across the country and act on their complaints. And the complaints have been forthcoming — some 800,000 in all since the initiative began late last year. These have apparently fed into the numerous reform proposals, and are also being addressed on a practical level locally, as I saw in Samarkand, where referral desks are operating — and in some cases providing immediate assistance — on issues such as housing, employment, health, social care, banking and legal assistance. Mobile Reception Offices have also been set up to reach out to the more remote villages and rural areas.
While in Samarkand, I also met representatives of six different religious confessions and nine cultural centres, including several ethnic, national and linguistic minorities. With 138 such cultural centres across the country, their role in promoting inter-religious and inter-ethnic tolerance and harmony — and in ensuring the viability of many of the government’s proposed reforms — will be vital, and I strongly support the apparent intention to include them as much as possible and as transparently as possible in the reform process, while ensuring the focus on communities does not impact negatively on the rights of individuals.
I would like to conclude by thanking the President and all the other senior officials I met during this short visit, and especially the Minister of Foreign Affairs, as well as the Director of the National Human Rights Centre, who was present at almost all the meetings, and the Parliamentary Ombudsman who will play an increasingly crucial role on oversight, as the reforms unfold. My visit has been extremely efficiently organized, and the hospitality extended to me and my delegation was exceptional and greatly appreciated.
If I am to make one short critical comment before concluding on an optimistic note, it is that there seem to be very few women in leadership roles, with the Deputy Prime Minister and Chairperson of the Women’s Committee, Tanzila Narbaeva, whom I also met yesterday, being one of the notable exceptions. In several meetings I had yesterday, there was not a single woman present on the Government side. I understand two important new laws relating to equality of men and women and domestic violence are in an advanced stage of development, and the Government has committed to consider them as soon as they are submitted, but I believe having more women in positions of authority is equally as important. Their full participation at every level will be vital to the country’s ambitious reform agenda.
Uzbekistan is, in my view, at a cross-roads. The volume of constructive human-rights related proposals, plans and new legislation that has emerged since President Mirziyoyev took up office is remarkable. The successful implementation of those reforms could have a transformational impact on the country’s future. I am extremely happy that I myself, my Office and my staff are now set to play an active role in trying to secure a future where every citizen and resident of Uzbekistan has their human rights observed, and state-sponsored violations become a distant memory. It is going to be a long and difficult road to get near that point, with obstructions and setbacks, but I do believe the journey has begun.

American Movie directed by Chris Smith Gods and Monstrosities "I am clinically sane," Werner Herzog insists in one of the clashes he had over a decade-long working relationship with the late actor Klaus Kinski. In his documentary-memorial My Best Fiend, Herzog reviews that battle of egomaniacs with dignified candor. Speaking in English over the original German narration, Herzog recalls outrageous Kinski incidents with an eerie calm that eventually sounds quite personal, as if measuring pain, balancing it. Respect stabilizes Herzog's account, presenting something different from the hysterical biography Kinski published in 1976 ("I helped him invent particularly vile expletives about me," Herzog admits). My Best Fiend uses on-the-set outtakes and recent interviews with Kinski costars Claudia Cardinale, Eva Mattes and others to create a scrapbook effect of Herzog's most inspired, mad-genius period. It's helpful that this personalized insight into filmmaking evokes an era when movie culture was cognizant of greatness. The week's other new documentary American Movie accepts the diminution of film culture in its maker's effort to scavenge a career for himself. Herzog and Kinski (who died in 1991) fought with each other while making powerful, memorable, serious expressions?Aguirre, the Wrath of God, Woyzeck, Nosferatu the Vampyre and Fitzcarraldo. Clips of Aguirre's magnificent opening and closing scenes and the pantomimed erotic horror in Nosferatu show Kinski the consummate artist, but they also prove Herzog the real thing. At the time his genius inspired many, including Coppola with Apocalypse Now, but also, 20 years later, Jane Campion's self-centered racist piffle in The Piano and today, jester-imitator Harmony Korine, who further bastardizes Herzog's eccentricity for an obtuse era.
My Best Fiend isn't simply a diva contest; Kinski's intensity gave the wild-eyed fearlessness Herzog needed to create a series of cultural and psychological portraits of modern and historical madness, legacies of the European God-complexes, guilt and, certainly, Herzog's confrontation with his own neuroses. "When nobody, absolutely no one, nobody, not one, nobody, not one believe in the film, Klaus did," he salutes. Kinski's outbursts were extreme ("This is not how Brecht and David Lean did it," he screamed. "I couldn't care less," Herzog answers) but his performances tangled artistry, nerve, ego and imagination. (In a Fitzcarraldo scene he does the acting of two people?replacing Jason Robards and Mick Jagger, no less.) Kinski wrote peskily about Herzog: "Eventually he kneels before himself like a worshipper in front of his idol, and he remains in that position until somebody bends down and raises him from his humble self-worship." But a Fitzcarraldo outtake, panning from an indulged Kinski raging to the Peruvian extras poised to kill him at Herzog's request, also shows Herzog standing by fascinated, recognizing a complex, outre soulmate ("I thank his cowardice and his instinct").
Tracing their paths back to adolescence, Herzog revisits the apartment house they shared before either became professional?it's been made over in bourgeois comfort, the past gentrified in ways that show time, fashion and memory's inevitable change. Herzog's instinct for simple settings or exotic landscapes rivals Murnau's, making this documentary portrait as expressive as Tabu. The final image, a closeup of Kinski's broad head and beaming face circled by a butterfly, is as mysterious as any Herzog's ever found. It's a fresh, loving symbol of the actor-director symbiosis.
Flip-flop the disclaimer that appears before Action, Fox-TV's Hollywood satire series, and you get an apt description of American Movie: "Portions may be inappropriate for mature audiences. It is intended for younger viewers."
Action makes no difference between being daring and having bad taste (it revels in offensiveness like a morally blank version of The Player) yet it's still a pretty funny show. Its cast of fatcat greedmongers are worthy targets. But American Movie pirates that sarcasm, envies it, seeking the same insider's cool yet childishly using the inept poor as punching bags.
Director Chris Smith showcases Mark Borchardt, a beery Wisconsin ne'er-do-well, pursuing that nuttiest American dream, filmmaking. It tops the era's prestige totem pole to such an extent that everybody?reckless insiders, hopeless wannabes and derisive onlookers?wants to be in on it at any cost. And Smith?sharing the same hysteria?can't make up his mind if Borchardt is a fool or a hero. Probably because he can't decide that about himself. Yet he hasn't made a compassionate film. Smith's hip, juvenile perspective ridicules Borchardt, his decrepit family and loser friends, exploiting them as a desperate means of making Smith's own name. Where Action manages to be a narcissistic industry satire, American Movie represents a new low in national self-hatred and class spite. This hyper-hip mood in culture was inevitable, but it isn't necessarily a good thing. Immaturity is part of its essence?the generation that grew up idolizing media, imitating it, remains so far from achieving professional power, artistic elan or humane understanding that bitter pathos is the result. (Rushmore, at least, satirized it.)
A highly paid amateur like Kevin Smith has turned such adolescence into a bummy kind of style inspiring more followers, including Chris Smith, who thinks that by smirking at misbegotten aspirations he has discovered a truth. I laughed at some of the flubbed takes, but I know there's more to movies than that. The release of American Movie?a smash at Sundance?is actually a demoralizing affair. It takes failure as a measure of American intelligence (which might be more true of current film culture than I'd like to believe). Borchardt and mates talk inanities, malapropisms and mispronunciations to go with the brain-fried spaciness and low-rent production procedures. This rickety project is too specific to call "American"; it doesn't stand for anything except Smith's exceptionally insensitive choice of subject matter. Yet it hit home at Sundance?as did Blair Witch Project?because it represented how pathetic is the majority of independent filmmaking ambitions. Smith, the Sundancers and the Blair Witches can relieve their own self-doubt by pointing to Borchardt's ineptitude. "There's still a chance for me!" they'll whisper to themselves. But not in the fast lane of Action (where you have to look good and talk slick)?only in a culture that encourages smugness, insensitivity and anti-intellectual arrogance.
"This time I'm not gonna fail," Borchardt promises. He wants to begin a horror movie titled Northwestern but with a shamble of unfinished projects behind him, he needs to raise money by completing a horror short titled Coven. "Just to drink and dream is not enough, you must achieve," he says. And Mike Schank, his acid-burnout best friend, offers unending support: "Hopefully everything will collide." We're supposed to enjoy this undeniable pathetic case, but the amount of contemptuousness promulgated by movies like this (and mockumentaries like Dadetown) is epidemic. Current indie-mania obscures class envy and disgust.
Smith's perverse anthropology is a bad version of a film that should be an American classic (Demon Lover Diary), but has he or his celebrants even seen it? Demon Lover Diary, which showed Halloween weekend at the American Museum of the Moving Image, is the best movie I know about the neuroses of filmmaking and their relation to social manners. In 1979 the filmmaking team Joel DeMott and Jeff Kreines watched a Michigan filmmaker make good on his comic-book, pop-inspired dream by organizing a post-George Romero production called The Demon Lover, using friends and family (and personal injury insurance claims) to keep the project going. There were cultural and class politics everywhere in the documentation, getting close to the imaginative impulse and too close to the anger, frustration and chaos of collapsed relationships. American Movie doesn't lack dramatic content, it's just that the niggling spectacle of Borchardt's drug-addled, ex-con friends and family is so utterly banal?elderly, noncommunicative divorced parents, distant siblings, hostile ex-wife and three dependent children?that nothing gets revealed.
Cut adrift from film history and cultural coherence Borchardt's circumstance is really too pitiful for such detached, unfeeling observation. Smith misses the import of working-class identification with horror as a chosen artistic idiom. So instead of analyzing social causes of monstrousness and deprivation, you grasp at incidentals: Borchardt's library of Spike Lee books, Norman Kagan's Kubrick book?not signs of learning or hero-worship but delusion, success-hunger. Borchardt's meaningless desire to shoot at "the magic hour"?a phrase stolen from the romance of the 70s American Renaissance (Days of Heaven)?has nothing to do with indie filmmaking struggles or trailer-park frustration. Then, Coven's hometown premiere is a travesty and a con job. Smith elides Borchardt's moment of primitive glory, chopping Coven into coming-attraction bits, no hint of plot, just the mess of clips that cinema has become to a generation of attention-deficit-disorder nerds.
Smith emphasizes the supposed levity of degradation, a bad inheritance of the Maysles brothers' Grey Gardens. His clueless, invasive view of Borchardt cadging his infirm uncle for production cash knows no bounds. Smith shows the wizened uncle's performance as a Coven extra out of context for a spuriously haunting effect. The uncle croaks numerous takes of "It's all right! It's okay! There's something to live for! Jesus told me so!" Still not fatuous enough, Smith plays "Mr. Bojangles" over the end credits commemorating both the dead uncle and foolish nephew while home movies of Borchardt's childhood claim our sympathy. Nothing in Action is that tasteless. American Movie's cruelty customizes verite for immature movie-fiends and that makes it hateful. | <urn:uuid:00600898-2c3f-497f-baf8-34c97e57cee6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.otdowntown.com/news/herzogs-best-fiend-MHNP1219991109311099996 | 2024-04-18T14:21:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.948554 | 2,204 |
Part of the mission of Vistamar School in El Segundo is to balance rigorous academics with an intimate atmosphere that supports students with meaningful relationships. A recent addition to the campus is furthering that goal. The Viking Commons, a new commercial kitchen and gathering space, was opened at Vistamar in August. Located in the newest section of the building, the eatery provides a nutritious lunch daily for the entire school community.
The innovative communal space has expanded the ways that Vistamar’s students, faculty and staff can connect. Emphasizing the school’s commitment to building community, the Viking Commons provides a venue for the entire school community to gather during lunch each day. The daily block class schedule allows everyone to have lunch at the same time, making it easy for students, faculty and staff to enjoy each other’s company and meet informally over a great meal.
“We’ve removed the stress of having to figure out what to do about lunch every day and instead provide an array of healthful food options at no added daily charge in a beautiful space to meet.”
“The Viking Commons provides an important way for everyone in our school community to come together over a great equalizer: food,” says head of school Chris Bright. “We’ve removed the stress of having to figure out what to do about lunch every day and instead provide an array of healthful food options at no added daily charge in a beautiful space to meet.”
A healthy and balanced life is one of Vistamar’s core values—one that the Viking Commons supports with healthful, nutritious and delicious lunches prepared from scratch daily. The food service partner takes a “wellness-first” approach, providing custom menus that offer great flavor and variety and support local, sustainable agricultural practices.
Hot entrees, a sandwich bar, and a salad and soup bar are available daily. Allergens are noted on the menus, and options for those with allergy sensitivities or special diets are offered including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free.
The design of the Viking Commons was a collaborative process. Originally envisioned by school leadership and the board of trustees, the yearlong design and fundraising process incorporated the work of trustees, staff, parents and the architect.
The vision was to transform an office area and small commons area into an open-plan, state-of-the-art kitchen, servery and inviting space to gather. Care was taken to echo the innovative open-space design of the school and reinforce the commitment to best practices in education. The Viking Commons was built through the generosity of the Vistamar extended community, working together to fund construction entirely through donations.
“As a school committed to best practices in education, our campus design deliberately supports the dynamic needs of the community. The Viking Commons is one of our most dramatic building upgrades since the school was founded,” says Kris Rone, chair of Vistamar’s board of trustees and an alumni parent.
Founded in 2005, Vistamar is an independent college preparatory day school serving grades 9–12. The founders’ vision was to tap into the diversity of Los Angeles to bring together students who could learn from each other the skills and attitudes necessary for global citizenship. Vistamar believes there’s a better way to do high school—a conviction they are sharing at lunchtime every day at the Viking Commons. | <urn:uuid:d02c6874-81bc-49b7-a61f-87262489e425> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.oursouthbay.com/vistamar-schools-students-and-staff-bond-in-an-inviting-new-space/ | 2024-04-18T13:27:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.951969 | 709 |

Ken Stack, GM manager of EFI Jetrion, has a confession to make. "Is our ink more expensive? Yes, that's absolutely true," the refreshingly candid executive tells PD during a booth visit at PackPrint 09.
But Stack says those who concentrate on ink price are missing out on bigger savings. Some of these examples are in recurring supply costs, such as savings from not having to make plates; eliminating the need to coat sheets thanks to the hardiness of the Jetrion's UV-cured prints; and the fact that the company doesn't use a "click charge" (price per impression) to collect the cost of the machine from the buyer. He states that all these things save money and have helped EFI push the breakeven point between digital and convention printing technologies, such as flexo, to dizzying heights from 50,000 to 100,000 sheets with the introduction of its new Jetrion 4830 ink-jet.
He states that these savings are great, but where the real money lies is in the supply chain and digital printing can set those dollars free.
As many in the food packaging industry know, labeling is of major importance to the safety of the consumers eating your foods and one of the major costs of running labels is in press setup, which can be recouped by leveraging that cost across many labels. Yet, longer runs can mean fewer jobs are run per day. This can result in a longer turnaround time for jobs, and many brands need to capitalize on product demand when it's hot and not be waiting for a label job to come through.
So label printers, Stack explains, often will print a large amount of labels. sell part of the print run, store the rest at their expense until their customers are ready to order additional labels. In the meantime, the printer is stuck with the costs of printing, storing and managing this inventory of labels that he or she hopes the customer will purchase.
If the customer changes ingredients, graphics or any other messaging on the labels, the printer has to eat these costs and destroy the labels. Brand owners that are working so hard to make their packaging sustainable also are hurt as this process can result in potentially thousands of labels being destroyed thus increasing the true carbon footprint of their products.
He contends that digital label and package printing can help "green" packaging by eliminating wasted labels, free up warehousing space used to store the labels, and offer just-in-time ordering and printing.
"If the turnaround time for labels is six weeks, with digital it can be six hours," Stack remarks. Digitals' shorter turnaround time, along with the elimination of setup costs such as printing plate processing and mounting, enables label printer to offer shorter-run jobs. Stack rhetorically asks: "How much interest would you have if you had that cash in the supply chain in the bank instead?"

Explore the Urgent Push for an Inclusive Deposit Return Scheme and Corporate Responses to Plastic Pollution Challenges.
In the recent annual audit conducted by Surfers Against Sewage, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and PepsiCo emerged as the prominent contributors to packaging pollution in the UK. The examination involved more than 30,700 polluting items collected by 4,000 citizen scientists across various environments over a 12-month period until June 5, 2023. Shockingly, 12 companies were found responsible for over two-thirds (70%) of branded pollution during the year.
Coca-Cola, despite implementing initiatives to reduce plastic pollution, claimed the dubious title of the UK's biggest polluter for the fourth consecutive year, accounting for nearly a fifth (17%) of branded plastic pollution. McDonald’s followed closely, responsible for 11% of identified polluting items, surpassing PepsiCo in the rankings. Together, these three companies accounted for 37% of all branded pollution, showing a marginal decrease from the previous year.
Notable mentions among the top polluters include Tesco, Haribo, Nestlé, Heineken, Mars, Carlsberg, and Red Bull. Izzy Ross, a campaign manager at Surfers Against Sewage, expressed the results as "shocking but sadly not surprising," emphasizing the need for accountability.
The campaign group urges companies to take full responsibility for their product life cycles by adopting measures to reduce packaging and embracing circular business models. Furthermore, Surfers Against Sewage is advocating for the government to implement an "all-in" deposit return scheme (DRS) encompassing drinks of all sizes and materials. While the government has plans for a DRS in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, excluding glass and delayed until 2025, a similar scheme in Scotland has also been postponed to 2025.
Izzy Ross emphasized the success of DRS schemes in other countries and stressed their potential effectiveness in the UK. In response, major companies involved provided statements outlining their ongoing efforts to address plastic pollution. Coca-Cola highlighted recyclability and recycled content in its packaging, while McDonald's emphasized the recyclability of its packaging and encouraged responsible disposal. PepsiCo acknowledged the challenge of beach litter and reiterated its commitment to reducing plastic use, aiming to eliminate virgin fossil-based plastics in crisp and snack bags in Europe by 2030. The call for increased accountability and sustainable practices echoes a growing sentiment for a more environmentally responsible approach within the packaging industry. | <urn:uuid:308cfbfd-8296-4b0b-aff6-d7cc340818f7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.packnode.org/en/latest/coca-cola-mcdonalds-and-pepsico-lead-urgent-call-for-account | 2024-04-18T14:55:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.935854 | 500 |

I’ve had so many inquiries for the 4×4 paintings to be offered in a solo fashion, vs only as collage prints:
So I’ve decided to offer the 4×4″ paintings as 8×10 prints!
above image: Friendship (a brand new 4×4″ painting) has just been added as an 8×10 due to popular demand ~ ENJOY!
I am unsure of offering them in large prints such as 12×12 since the original is small and they are created to be enjoyed as mini images, little intimate & sincere moments.
If you would like an 8×10 print of a specific 4×4″ painting (see the abundant selection here)
I will make an 8×10 print available in the shop for you, just let me know!
Thanks to those who continued to ask!

The Mindful Mothering Project
In actuality, I do not create my paintings from photos. I paint from sketches in my journal that have sprung from my heart and from inspiration around me. When I do have photos for inspiration (for custom commissioned paintings) I look at the photos for a bit, set them aside, and see what blossoms. I have no intentions or desires for photo-likeness, just for a heart-felt representation of closeness.
HOWEVER! For the Mindful Mothering Project… I like to involve YOU ~ my community of intriguing, wise mothers and women, fathers and friends. I like to invite YOU to submit YOUR photo(s) ~ and when I feel the urge… I pick one and create a painting inspired by it. She or he who submitted the chosen photo gets a free 12×12″ print of the finished painting ($32 value). Learn more here. I’ve done this 11 times in the past several years!
Here is the newest MMP Painting in process (I’ve named her Timeless Adoration):
Also, each week I create at lease one new mini original painting ~ this week’s new original mini painting is called Shared Smile ~ this original piece has SOLD, because a collector who saw her on Facebook (before she was completely done) asked to claim her.
YOU can do this too… if you ever see a piece in process (I post on Facebook and Instagram) and feel a connection, don’t hesitate to ask if you can snag her. I’ll let you know if someone else has already done so, or if the piece is a custom commissioned (pre-sold) piece.
Let me know if you’d like a print of Shared Smile!
Thank you for everything, have a WONDERFUL day. Wanna chat live on Facebook? I’ll see you there.

Lahore is the 2nd largest city in Pakistan with a population more than 13 millions after Karachi. The traditional capital of Punjab for a thousand years, it had been the cultural center of Northern India extending from Peshawar to New Delhi. It is a very famous saying in Pakistan “One who hasn’t seen Lahore has yet not born”. The people of Lahore, when they want to emphasize the uniqueness of their town say “Lahore is Lahore”. Lahore is the city of poets, artists and the center of film industry. It has the largest number of educational institutions in the country and some of the finest gardens in the continent. Apart from being the cultural and academic center of the country, Lahore is the showcase for Mughal architecture in Pakistan. For more than 200 years, beginning from about 1524 AD, Lahore was a thriving cultural center of the great Mughal Empire. Mughal Emperors beautified Lahore, with palaces, gardens and mosques.
The original citadel city is situated one mile to the south of the river Ravi, and some 23 miles from the eastern border of the Punjab district. The walls of the city, when they were still standing, gave it a shape of a parallelogram. The total area inside the walls encompassed roughly 461 acres of land. The city is slightly elevated above the plain, and has a high ridge within it, running East and West on its northern side. The whole of this elevated ground is composed of the accumulated debris of many centuries.
The origins of Lahore are shrouded in the mists of antiquity but Lahore is undoubtedly ancient. Legend has it that it was founded about 4,000 years ago by Loh, son of Rama, the hero of the Hindu epic, the Ramayana. Reminiscence of its hoary past are the remains of a subterranean temple attributed to Rama, in the northern part of the Royal Fort. Historically, it has been proved that Lahore is at least 2,000 years old. Hieun-tasng, the famous Chinese pilgrim has given a vivid description of Lahore which he visited in the early parts of the 7th century AD. Lying on the main trade and invasion routes to South Asia, Lahore has been ruled and plundered by a number of dynasties and hordes. Muslim rule began here when Qutub-ud-Din Aibak was crowned in Lahore in 1206 and thus became the first Muslim Sultan of the sub-continent. It waxed and waned in importance during the Sultanate. However, it touched the zenith of its glory during the Mughal rule from 1524 to 1762. The Mughals, who were famous as builders, gave Lahore some of its finest architectural monuments, many of which are extinct today.
It was Akbar’s capital for 14 years from 1584 to 1598. He built the massive Lahore Fort into burnt bricks on the foundations of a previous fort and enclosed the city within a red brick wall boasting 12 gates. Jahangir and Shah Jahan (Shah Jahan was born in Lahore) extended the fort, built palaces and tombs, and laid out gardens. Jahangir loved the city and he and his wife Noor Jahan are buried at Shahdara. The last of the great Mughals, Aurangzeb (1658-1707), gave Lahore its most famous monument, the great Badshahi Masjid (Royal Mosque) and the Alamgiri gateway to the fort.
During the 18th century, as Mughal power dwindled, there were constant invasions by the likes of Nadir Shah and Ahmed Shah Abdali. Lahore was a sooba, (a province of the Empire), governed by provincial rulers with their own court. These governors managed as best they could though for much of the time it must have been a rather thankless task to even attempt. The 1740s were years of chaos and between 1745 and 1756 there were nine changes of governors. Invasions and chaos in local government allowed bands of warring Sikhs to gain control in some areas. Lahore ended up being ruled by a triumvirate of Sikhs of dubious distinction for about 30 years before Maharaja Ranjit Singh came to power in 1799 and finally managed to bring order for 40 odd years. He tried to bring back a glimmer of Mughal glory by renovating some of the monuments while adding some of his own. Because of scarcity of building material, marble and semi-precious stones were appropriated from the existing buildings to be used in the Sikh projects all over the empire.Maha Raja Ranjeet singh was a local ruler who was born in Gujranwala a city of Punjab in 1780s the rest mostly were the invaders.
Lahore Fort The British, following their invasion of Lahore in 1849, added many buildings in “Mughal-Gothic” style as well as some shady bungalows and gardens. Early on, the British tended to build workaday structures in sites like the Fort, though later they did start to make an effort to preserve some ancient buildings. The Lahore Cantonment, the British residential district of wide, tree-lined streets and white bungalows set in large, shaded gardens, is the prettiest cantonment in Pakistan. Since Independence in 1947, Lahore has expanded rapidly as the capital of Pakistani Punjab.
Today, Lahore can be best described as a city that is just so wonderful, so very fabulous, that every nook and corner of the city speaks of a certain vibrance, a certain zeal, a spirit of life, which cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Perhaps it is the maturity of the city, which manifests itself in the various parts of Lahore. It is present in the monuments, in the bazaars, in the old buildings lining the Mall, or in the vast expanses of the sports grounds in the Cantonment. But most vividly, this great Lahori spirit is visible in the people of Lahore, the Zinda dilan-e-Lahore (The Zealous of Lahore).
Lahore is a city of culture, of history, of an unrivaled charm that sets it apart from every other city on earth. It seems that great Lahori spirit has invaded and saturated this city over the centuries, to the effect that Lahore today is not just a city, not just a place in one corner of this planet, but a whole universe in itself; what to say of similarities to other Mughal cities…the average Lahori is that same old Mughal prince of bygone ages, one only has to get to know him. There is an old saying, that in every Lahori, there is a Mughal prince.
The description of the pure Lahori spirit conveniently evades the mind, adding to the mysteries of this city. At best, it can be said that this spirit pervades the citadel and the slum alike. The city has known ages of cultural, intellectual, musical, literary and humanistic evolution, which has consequently led to the fermentation and over fermentation of this rich brew we call Lahore. Few cities of the world, if indeed any, can lay claim to such a wonderful past or present.
All this makes Lahore a truly rewarding experience. The buildings, the roads, the trees and the gardens, in fact the very air of Lahore is enough to set the mind spinning in admiration. Many a poet has written about this phenomenon one experiences in the environs of Lahore. When the wind whistles through the tall trees, when the twilight floods the beautiful face of the Fort, when the silent canal lights up to herald the end of another chapter in history, the Ravi is absorbed in harmony, mist fills the ancient streets, and the havelis come alive with strains of classical music, the spirit of Lahore pervades even the hardiest of souls.
In short, frankly saying Lahore is a “Darling City” for historians & “Lahore is Lahore”. | <urn:uuid:82d0a31c-c4fa-4f94-9722-d3766ca6b757> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.pakistanguidedtours.pk/lahore-brief-history/ | 2024-04-18T13:57:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.967828 | 1,707 |
Why Shippers Should Care About the CVSA Roadcheck
06/03/2019 — Leah Palnik
Coming to a highway near you, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) International Roadcheck will take place June 4-6. On average, 17 trucks will be inspected every minute in Canada, the United States, and Mexico during the 72-hour period. The CVSA-certified inspectors will primarily conduct the North American Standard Level 1 Inspection and could render trucks out of service or place drivers out of service for violations. In fact, nearly 12,000 trucks and buses were placed out of service last year.
Both the drivers and their vehicles are put through a 37-step inspection which includes checking items such as the braking system, securement of cargo, exhaust system, frame, fuel system, lights, tires, wheels and rims, and other critical components. Each year, the CVSA places special emphasis on a specific category of violations. This year’s focus will be on steering and suspension systems due to their importance to highway safety.
Drivers and their trucks are subject to these same inspections year-round, but the International Roadcheck event brings a significant increase in inspections that has a notable ripple effect.
What can shippers expect?
- Capacity will tighten which will likely increase freight rates. Many smaller carriers and owner operators will take the days off to avoid the potential hassle. This can make it more difficult for shippers to find trucks during this time – driving up the load-to-truck ratio and therefore driving up rates.
- Delivery times will be affected. Not only do all of these inspections take time, but some loads may be delayed if drivers are pulled out of service due to violations. Even something as simple as a cracked windshield could cause a vehicle to be pulled out of service. In general, it’s a good idea to allow for some extra time just to be on the safe side.
Finding a truck during Roadcheck week is easier when you’re working with a quality freight broker like PartnerShip. We’ll help you find the best option and let you know what you can expect.

How Diabetes Causes Blindness
Diabetes damages small blood vessels throughout the body. Diabetic retinopathy happens when prolonged high blood sugar damages the blood vessels of the retina. This is the part of the eye that sends images to your brain. Other conditions that increase your risk include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and kidney disease.
Diabetic retinopathy can lead to poor vision and even blindness. It often gets worse over many years.
At first, the blood vessels in the eye get weak. Blood and other liquid can leak into the retina from the blood vessels. If the fluid leaks into the center of your eye, you may have blurry vision.
If blood sugar levels stay high, the condition will keep getting worse. New blood vessels grow on the retina. These blood vessels can break open easily. If they break open, blood can leak into your eye and change your vision. This bleeding can also cause the retina to move away from the wall of the eye (retinal detachment). Sometimes people don't have symptoms until it's too late to treat them. That's why regular eye exams are important.
Retinopathy can also cause swelling in the middle of the retina (macula). This is called macular edema.
Treatment for diabetic retinopathy
There's no cure for diabetic retinopathy. But treatment often works very well to prevent, delay, or reduce vision loss. The earlier retinopathy is found, the easier it is to treat. And it's more likely that vision will be saved.
Treatment options include:
- Laser treatment (photocoagulation).
This usually works very well to prevent vision loss if it's done before the retina has been severely damaged.
- Anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) or an anti-inflammatory medicine.
Sometimes injections of these types of medicine can help to shrink new blood vessels when diabetic retinopathy is advanced.
- Surgical removal of the vitreous gel (vitrectomy).
This may help improve vision if the retina hasn't been severely damaged.
Keeping your blood sugar levels within your target range can help keep eye problems from getting worse.
Many people with retinopathy need to be treated more than once as the condition gets worse.
Major causes of blindness from diabetes
This table shows the major causes of blindness in people who have diabetes and what you can do to help prevent vision loss.
Keeping your blood sugar levels and blood pressure within a target range is always important. You also need regular dilated eye exams to help find eye diseases early. Finding and treating eye diseases early can help prevent or delay vision loss.

Adorable? Spooky? Or both? Jasper, affectionately known as Jazzy, is a unique cat with an equally remarkable story. He has always been bald – he’s a sphynx cat, a completely hairless breed – but he hasn’t always had his distinctive skeletal look.
A photo posted by @jazzy.purrs on Mar 27, 2019 at 12:24pm PDT
Jasper was adopted when he was two years old and seemed to be in good health. A few years later, however, he was diagnosed with feline herpes virus (FHV). For several years, the virus did little more than give Jazzy a case of the sniffles, but in 2014 it led to the development of a corneal ulcer in one eye. The ulcer caused him such pain that the only option was to remove the eye.
Jazzy adapted well and lived a healthy one-eyed life until 2018, when an ulcer appeared in his other eye. Again, surgery was the only option, and Jazzy has spent the last two years getting used to navigating the world without eyes.
I was actually born with two eyes. I have FHV and ended up with a really bad corneal ulcer. Twice. In November 2014 I had the first, then in September of 2018 I had the second. Both were so bad they did not respond to treatment and caused so much pain that removal was the best option. But don’t be sad for me, I’m still a very happy well loved kitty! #jazzypurr #blindcat #sphynx #sphynxcat #nakedkitty #sphynxlair #catsofinstagram #cat #sphynxofinstagram Jasper

Jazzy is now 12 years old and his owner Kelli says he’s a happy boy – he just has to meow for help now and then when he can’t work out where he is. The scar tissue from his eye surgeries gets itchy, so Jazzy is fond of a good eye socket rub.
His story and his striking appearance have attracted a lot of attention; he has almost 88,000 followers and Kelli regularly receives Jasper-inspired art.

New MHRA website for PILs and SPCs
Record learning outcomes
A new service to enable health professionals or members of the public to search for information about medicines has been created by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Authority.
The MHRA products website carries information on:
- Patient information leaflets - the leaflets which are provided with medicines
- Summary of product characteristics - the description of the medicinal product’s properties and how it can be used
- Public assessment reports - scientific reports about marketing authorisations for medicines
Users can search by product, active substance or PL number. The service replaces the previously separate MHRA websites. | <urn:uuid:eace140f-ad07-45ff-a89f-afc641dc4bf8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.pharmacynetworknews.com/practice/new-mhra-website-for-pils-and-spcs | 2024-04-18T13:58:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.889092 | 131 |

After the Removal of Multiple Teeth
Some oozing of blood may continue for a short time after surgery. This may be controlled by maintaining pressure over surgical site by biting FIRMLY on a damp,chilled gauze sponge for 30 minutes. Lie quietly with the head elevated and repeat the above procedure every 30 minutes until active bleeding is controlled. A pinkish tinge of salvia is normal for a 24 hour period after surgery. Excessive bleeding may be controlled by first rinsing or wiping any old clots from your mouth, then placing a gauze pad over the area and biting firmly for thirty minutes. Repeat if necessary. If bleeding continues, bite on a moistened tea bag for thirty minutes wrapped in dampen gauze. The tannic acid in the tea bag helps to form a clot by contracting bleeding vessels. To minimize further bleeding, do not become excited, sit upright, and avoid exercise. If bleeding does not subside, call for further instructions.
Do not remove immediate denture unless the bleeding is severe for first 24 hours. Expect some oozing around the side of the denture.
Use ice packs (externally) on the same side of the face as the operated area. Apply ice for the first 36 hours only. Apply ice continuously while you are awake.
For mild discomfort use aspirin, Tylenol or any similar medication; two tablets every 3-4 hours. Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) 200mg can be taken 2-3 tablets every 3-4 hours.
For severe pain use the prescription given to you. If the pain does not begin to subside in 2 days, or increases after 2 days, please call our office. If an antibiotic has been prescribed, finish your prescription regardless of your symptoms.
Drink plenty of fluids. If many teeth have been extracted, the blood lost at this time needs to be replaced. Drink at least six glasses of liquid the first day.
Do not rinse your mouth for the first post-operative day, or while there is bleeding. After the first day, use a warm salt water rinse every 4 hours and following meals to flush out particles of food and debris that may lodge in the operated area. (One half teaspoon of salt in a glass of lukewarm water.). After you have seen your dentist for denture adjustment, take out denture and rinse 3 to 4 times a day.
Restrict your diet to liquids and soft foods, which are comfortable for you to eat. As the wounds heal, you will be able to advance your diet.
The removal of many teeth at one time is quite different than the extraction of one or two teeth. Because the bone must be shaped and smoothed prior to the insertion of a denture, the following conditions may occur, all of which are considered normal:
- The area operated on will swell reaching a maximum in two days. Swelling and discoloration around the eye may occur. The application of a moist warm towel will help eliminate the discoloration quicker. The towel should be applied continuously for as long as tolerable beginning 48 hours after surgery (remember ice packs are used for the first 48 hours only).
- A sore throat may develop. The muscles of the throat are near the extraction sites. Swelling into the throat muscles can cause pain. This is normal and should subside in 2-3 days.
- If the corners of the mouth are stretched, they may dry out and crack. Your lips should be kept moist with an ointment like Vaseline. There may be a slight elevation of temperature for 24-48 hours. If temperature continues, notify our office.
If immediate dentures have been inserted, sore spots may develop. In most cases, your dentist will see you within 24-48 hours after surgery and make the necessary adjustments to relieve those sore spots. Failure to do so may result in severe denture sores, which may prolong the healing process.
1. Leave denture(s) in for the first 24 hours after surgery
2. Remove the denture(s) the next day
3. Brush denture(s)
4. Rinse mouth with warm salt water 4 to 5 times a time without denture(s) in place
5. After the first 24 hours denture(s) needs to be removed nightly | <urn:uuid:96f46aab-9561-4a11-8169-4499db4f412e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.pinehurstoralsurgery.com/surgical-instructions/multiple-extractions/ | 2024-04-18T13:34:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.924316 | 889 |

The latest success in a growing list of holding midfielders who turned into football managers, Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen are taking European football by storm.
Your son’s favourite football team, Leverkusen have suddenly become the club for society’s cropped trousers and tote bag-wearing IPA drinkers.
German football has generally always endeared itself to that sort of crowd between the safe-standing sections, pints in the stands, cool kits and clubs steeped in history, but Leverkusen are taking it to a new level with that handsome bastard on the touchline.
We’re allowed to say all this as we absolutely qualify as the kind of football culture nerds who are suckers for cool clubs, sexy managers who used to be brilliant midfielders, and all things tote bags and nice pints.
The great thing about culture in football is that it doesn’t matter how bad a team is if they’re cool above all else.
Venezia are back in Serie B, but they have brilliant kits, slick graphics and Serie A sides used to arrive to their ground via boat. Who cares what they play like?
What makes Alonso and Leverkusen stand out above the rest, though, is that they’re combining form with function. It’s cool and hip to like them both as a tactico nerd and a football culture nerd.
The strapping Spaniard, his gorgeous beard and his exceptional vision of the beautiful game has created a world where two completely different factions can co-exist, better than a makeshift tag team on an episode of Monday Night RAW.
When he’s not looking all suave or pinging passes on the training ground in a pair of Copa Mundials, he’s putting on coaching clinics in the Bundesliga and Europa League, embracing his nerdy side and quietly ascending to the top of the mountain.
After 11 games in the 2023-24 Bundesliga season, Leverkusen sit top of the table with 10 wins and one draw to their name, having toppled the likes of RB Leipzig and Borussia Monchengladbach, while drawing 2-2 to the ever-inevitable Bayern Munich.
That is obscene.
It’s even more obcene knowing that when Alonso took over the side in October 2022, Leverkusen were second-bottom in the Bundesliga after eight games. What a difference a year makes.
Transforming Die Werkself into a ruthless pack with young Florian Wirtz thriving at the centre of it all, it’s exceptionally impressive how Alonso is able to get such a tune out of his squad.
Wirtz has been stealing the headlines for his glorious displays filled with flicks, tricks and crucially a sickening cutting edge in front of goal, but it’s the revival of a certain Granit Xhaka that stands out just as much.
Since leaving Arsenal in the summer, the Swiss midfielder’s stock has gone through the roof. You can call Bundesliga tax all you want, but that doesn’t do justice to the fact that Xhaka has made more successful passes into the final third than any other player in Europe’s top seven leagues this season.
Alonso has given him the keys and the squad are repaying him.
A key component to succeeding in today’s game is implementing an uncompromising and unrelenting style, but doing that is easier said than done.
Leverkusen are playing dominant and explosive football, but what allows them to do so are 100 IQ moves, such as their tactic to keep play moving as quickly as possible.
Xabi Alonso ball = Leverkusen playing quickly, even when the ball goes out.
Just counted up 29 balls lined up round the perimeter of the pitch. Some of them below. That seems…a lot!? pic.twitter.com/766aC8yVXa
— Archie Rhind-Tutt (@archiert1) November 12, 2023
The most subtle of details, but it makes all the difference. Xabi, you big nerd. We love you.
It’s the little things like this which can go unnoticed at a glance that allows Alonso to implement such a strong style at Leverkusen and drill his players into being ruthless, all-action attackers.
Jose Mourinho rather amazingly claimed in 2010: “He has the quality that a ‘metronome’ must have. I’m sure that when he hangs up his boots he’ll be a great coach if he wants to be. He reminds me of Pep Guardiola when I had him as a player.
“He was already a coach on the pitch.”
Incredible vision from the Special One, who is probably now looking over his shoulder knowing Alonso is leading the pack as the next generation of elite managers look to step up and propel football forward.
As glorious as his Leverkusen side have been, we can’t imagine he’ll be there for much longer. Enjoy them while you still can.

The P-51D Mustang was built as a long-range fighter and bomber, and was the best fighter aircraft of late WWII, seeing action in other engagements as well. At the time, no other combat plane could go as far, fly as high, or go as fast as the P-51D. In 1944 the Mustang was recognized as the best single seat long range escort fighter. Over 15, 000 P-51s were produced. The big beautiful doll is an extremely popular aircraft as it was flown by Col John landers, who was one of the most famous pilots to serve in the USAAF. He was one of the few pilots who was an ace in both the Pacific and European theatres.

Fun-filled moments at night
I am going to share my latest experience with my fun vibrator. All the nights are now wonderful and I can plan a lot of naughty experiments with this toy. The length of the toy is very good and it gradually gets inside the private part and makes me naughty. I enjoy the single vibrating mode present inside the toy that stimulates me like anything. | <urn:uuid:1b85d57d-6717-46a0-b3cc-babd8e790b17> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.pleasuredelhi.com/index.php?fc=module&module=homecomments&controller=reviews&id_product=217 | 2024-04-18T14:34:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.935273 | 130 |

The teenage years can be an awkward time for an individual. There is much to learn about the world and themselves and many changes to face. Relationships and dating often do not come naturally but can improve with experience. These first-time relationships are the foundation for future relationships throughout adulthood.
When most people think of domestic violence, they see it as something that only happens to adults. However, statistics show that youth are more likely to experience violence in their romantic relationships than the rest of the population. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a survey that looked at teen dating and found that 1 out of 11 girls and 1 out of 15 boys have experienced physical dating violence in the past year, and 1 out of 9 girls have experienced sexual dating violence.
Teen dating violence is similar to domestic violence because it is centered around power and control. One partner in the relationship is working to control the other partner through abusive behaviors. There are many different tactics used to maintain control, including isolation, belittling, guilting and manipulation. Many times, when these specific tactics are not providing the power and control that the abuser needs, they turn to physical and sexual abuse.
UNICEF states, “The single best predictor of children becoming either perpetrators or victims of domestic violence later in life is whether or not they grow up in a home where there is domestic violence.”
When a young person is not taught what healthy relationships look like in their home, these unhealthy signs or “red flags” may be difficult to see. These types of behaviors are learned. When children are exposed to these types of behaviors in the home, they begin to see them as normal. They begin to believe this is what love is supposed to look like.
The best way to prevent abuse in teen dating and adult relationships is to provide information about healthy relationships and teach skills to create and maintain healthy relationships. The sooner this information can be provided to our youth, the better chance there is of correcting unhealthy behaviors. Skills that are necessary to create these healthy relationships are appropriately managing feelings and understanding how to communicate in a healthy way.
The CPN House of Hope offers many ways to provide education about healthy relationships and prevention techniques regarding domestic violence, sexual violence and stalking.
If you are interested in providing this type of education to your organization, classroom or group, please reach out to House of Hope to schedule. Find more information about prevention efforts at cpnhouseofhope.com.
If you or someone you know is experiencing intimate partner violence, sexual assault or stalking and would like more information, call House of Hope at 405-275-3176 or visit us online at facebook.com/cpnhouseofhope. | <urn:uuid:5cc8f0d2-0af0-4e9d-9137-e208e635368e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.potawatomi.org/blog/2023/02/27/preventing-teen-dating-violence/ | 2024-04-18T13:05:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.956973 | 566 |

In today's fierce industrial competition, technological innovation is one of the most important ways for companies to gain a competitive advantage.
For powder coating equipment manufacturers, owning relevant patents is the key to achieving technological leadership and protecting intellectual property rights.
This article will discuss the importance of patents for powder coating equipment and explain its role in enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises.
Powder coating equipment patents recognize and protect technological innovation. In this highly competitive market environment, companies can gain a unique technological advantage by continuously developing and improving their powder coating equipment. By applying for a patent, a company can ensure that its technological achievements will not be copied or misappropriated by others, thus protecting its innovative achievements and commercial interests.
Powder coating equipment manufacturers with patents are often able to occupy a more favorable position in the market. Firstly, patents can bring reputation and credibility to an enterprise, enabling it to establish a favorable brand image among customers and partners. Secondly, patents can help companies attract investors and partners and provide financial and resource support for their development. Most importantly, enterprises with patents tend to gain the competitive advantage of a larger market share and higher profits.
The protection of powder coating equipment patents is not only conducive to technological innovation within the enterprise, but also promotes technical cooperation and innovation within the industry. Under the framework of patent protection, enterprises can be more assured of cooperation with other enterprises to jointly develop new products or solve technical problems. Such technical cooperation is not only conducive to the technological advancement of the industry, but can also bring more business opportunities and benefits to enterprises.
The protection of powder coating equipment patents is also the protection of intellectual property rights. In today's globalized market environment, the protection of intellectual property rights has become particularly important. By applying for a patent, an enterprise can effectively protect its intellectual property rights, safeguard its business interests, and prevent intellectual property rights from being infringed and violated.
The importance of powder coating equipment patents cannot be ignored. It is not only the protection and recognition of technological innovation, but also an important means to enhance the competitiveness and market position of enterprises. Therefore, powder coating equipment manufacturers should pay full attention to patent application and protection, and continuously strengthen technological innovation in order to realize the sustainable development and long-term competitive advantage of enterprises. | <urn:uuid:cccd039b-c46f-436f-8410-ae169dac3be4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.powdersprayline.com/powder-coating-equipment-patents-a-sharp-tool-for-enhancing-competitiveness.html | 2024-04-18T15:06:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.9354 | 478 |
China in mid-September increased its renewable portfolio standard (RPS) to 35% of electricity consumption by 2030. The country has already heavily invested in wind and solar, and it anticipates more gains will come from some provinces.
In a revision of an initial draft plan published this March, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) also mandated six new entity categories that must meet the renewables obligation. The entities include provincial power grid companies owned by the State Grid Corp. of China—the largest utility company in the world—and Southern Power Grid, both which are government-owned; local power grid companies owned by provincial local governments; electricity retail companies with distribution grid operation permits; independent power retail companies; consumers participating in direct trading; and companies with captive power plants that purchase power through public power grids.
The new draft allows power generators to sell green certificates—which are distinct from those in the existing voluntary green certificate market—to covered entities, allowing them to get renewable power subsidies from national renewable development funds. The reform seeks to alleviate the government’s subsidy burden, which has gotten heavier, though it has spurred rapid uptake of non-hydro renewables nationwide. The measure also seeks to stall an increasing rate of curtailments, and follows a December 2017 mandate in which the government established a red-yellow-green alert mechanism designed to slow solar installations in provinces with high curtailment or limited transmission.
At the end of 2017, according to China’s National Bureau of Statistics, the country’s total electricity output rose 5%. Though the country is suffering a coal power glut, it added 46 GW of new thermal power generation, which ramped up its output 4.6% compared to the year before. New measures aimed at coal could deeply impact the sector, however. At the end of August, the National Energy Administration (NEA) ordered 49 GW of coal power units to meet ultra-low emission standards set by provinces by the end of 2018 through retrofits, and 54 GW of units nationwide to meet new energy savings mandates. The ultra-low emission standards could require coal units not to exceed 5 milligrams/cubic meter (mg/m3) for particulates, 35 mg/m3 for sulfur dioxide, and 50 mg/m3 for nitrogen oxides—and respectively, these standards are 75%, 30%, and 50% lower than the upper limits defined in the Thermal Power Air Pollutant Emission Standard set in 2012.

During 2017, meanwhile, China’s nuclear output increased 16% and hydro rose a modest 1.5%. But wind and solar saw the most significant gains. Though wind curtailments have been fluctuating between 12% and 15%, depending on the region, since 2015, wind power output surged 26%. Solar photovoltaic (PV) curtailments fell from 10% to 6% between 2016 and 2017, even as solar output surged 75%. Yet, at the end of 2017, while thermal power provided 73.5% of China’s total generation, wind provided just 6.6%, and solar only 1.84%. The NDRC’s September draft orders each province to calculate its 2030 non-hydro renewable power indicative target in accordance with the existing national target of 20% non-fossil energy consumption set for 2030 (Figure 4).
The new RPS follows the pivotal rollout by China’s NDRC, the Ministry of Finance, and NEA of the “531” policy at the end of May, which sought to control the breakneck surge of solar PV by phasing out subsidies. The NEA noted that China’s total installed solar PV capacity has reached 150 GW—well beyond the 105-GW national target set for 2020 in the 13th Five-Year Plan. Experts widely projected that the policy would halt work on major solar PV projects. However, over the summer, the NEA reaffirmed that the country will continue supporting solar PV deployment, though it said it will focus on accelerating solar’s price parity compared to coal power, mostly through programs to alleviate poverty and for distributed generation.
While the draft doesn’t limit the total amount of new grid parity wind and solar PV power projects, the government in September also solicited comments on an NEA notice that prohibits wind and solar PV projects from receiving subsidies if they are in a region with very high curtailments—marked as “red”—even if they are at grid parity.
In a separate notice, the NEA also encouraged acceleration of nine direct current and alternating current ultra-high-voltage power transmission projects with 12 lines and a total transmission capacity of 57 GW. The measure seeks to transmit power from the northwest to heavy-load areas in the southwest and east as well as to increase interregional and interprovincial power transmission. The measure could mean that four of the nine projects may be approved later this year, and the other five, in 2019.

Report Labor Force Participation in California By Julien Lafortune, Sarah Bohn, Marisol Cuellar Mejia, Jenny Duan ... Feb 14, 2024 California’s labor force participation is shrinking, mainly because of an aging population. But significant gaps across demographic groups are also a concern. How can California remove barriers to work, boost participation, and build a strong workforce for years to come?
California Counts, Report Birth Rates in California By Hans Johnson Nov 15, 2007 Teen birth rates in California are dropping dramatically, and last year were the lowest the state has ever recorded. In this edition of California Counts, PPIC researchers explore changing birth rates and fertility trends in the state, and find that in some counties, teen birth rates fell more than 25 percent from 2000 to 2005. They also found that over the last two decades, California has experienced an accelerating trend in delayed childbearing--a growing percentage of women are not giving birth until their early forties. Despite this rise in birth rates among older women, rates of childlessness in the state are also increasing. Reference Maps

My grandfather used to specialize in drilling wells, drilling a well at least three to four thousand dollars, depending on the depth and diameter of the well, drilling a well of hundreds of meters, at least ten thousand yuan. The depth of the well should be based on the depth of the groundwater "water veins" and decide.
Our village has a hundred-year-old well, where the water is particularly sweet, and the water has never dried up, as if "inexhaustible, inexhaustible". In the old days when there was no running water, this well was the only source of water for the whole village, and there was a big water tank at the entrance of every house in the village, specially for storing water.
Water is a necessity for life, and in many rural areas today, tap water is installed. Tap water is convenient, but once the dry season, it is easy to stop the water, so it is especially important to have a well that never runs dry in rural areas.
In the rural areas to drill water wells, the old people often say to hit the "Yin River" water pumping is not finished, "Yin River" is the underground river, the underground river is an important part of the Earth's water cycle, we are drilling water wells, if you can open the underground river, then the well will naturally be a constant stream of water. If we can open up the underground river when we drill a well, the well will naturally flow with water. In modern society, the water table is getting lower and lower in many places. In the past, a well could be drilled for eight or nine meters to produce water, but now it may take hundreds of meters to produce water, so finding the right place to drill a well is especially important.
Groundwater Detector Recommended
How do I find a water vein for a rural well? Is there any good method?
1, two mountains sandwich a cave, the middle of the pumping can not dry (two mountain range sandwich a ditch, ditch side water flow)
As the saying goes, "water goes lower", the middle of the two mountains is often the place where groundwater must pass through, from this external drilling wells tend to be relatively shallow depth, the cost of drilling water wells is naturally the lowest.
Note: When drilling deep wells, if the water is still red after a very deep drilling, you can continue to play deeper. Of course, if in the mountainous areas, it is possible to hit the geological layer containing iron, if people drink, it is best to find the relevant parts of the laboratory, so that people drink up relatively safe.
2、Find the water veins by observing the plants on the ground
In the dry season if the grass grows relatively luxuriant in a certain place, generally speaking the water table in this place will be relatively shallow, the probability of drilling water wells from here will be relatively large.
In the process of planting crops we often see such a phenomenon: the same piece of land sown at the same time, often crops do not mature at the same time, a part of the crop will appear back to the phenomenon, and the height of the crop will be significantly higher than other places, where the probability of drilling water wells out of water is relatively high.
3, winter ground often foggy places, the water table is relatively shallow, more suitable for drilling water wells
The ground is often foggy in winter, often wetter, in this place to dig shallow wells can easily hit the water.
Here is a great trick to share: just dig a pit where you think there may be groundwater, insert a few chicken feathers in the pit, and then cover it with a container (bowl), open it overnight to see, the more water on the chicken feathers, the greater the possibility of underground water. According to this method can quickly deduce the location of the underground water veins.
4、Use PQWT groundwater detector
PQWT groundwater detector uses the earth's electromagnetic field as a working field source, based on the difference in resistivity of underground rocks and ores, and measures the change pattern of several (or dozens) of different frequency electric field components generated by the earth's electromagnetic field on the ground to study the electrical changes in the underground geoelectric section to solve geological problems. It is widely used to quickly find and evaluate different types of groundwater in urban, rural, mountainous and plain areas. Determine the well location, the amount of dissolved water in a single well, the number of layers of the aquifer and the depth of each layer.
Drilling wells to find water veins is a very complicated matter, plains, mountains, hills are not a concept, unless one can clearly understand the underground rock structure, geological and hydrological situation, even very experienced well drillers want to find quality groundwater only 70% success rate. | <urn:uuid:42de3285-4f63-4d7f-a482-80cb5cafce1a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.pqwtdetector.com/4waystodigwellsinruralareastofindwatersources | 2024-04-18T14:42:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.943636 | 1,023 |

I've passed the 1rst round of AtKearney Dubai, and have been invited to a third interview with a principal. Nevertheless, I have been doing all the interviews via Skype. Has somebody gone though the recruitment process at ATKerney Dubai? How many round are there? Will they fly me to Dubai from Europe?

ATKearney Middle East - Dubai: how is the recruiting process structured for a full time Business analyst position?
Overview of answers
Hey, Can you please let us know how the recruiting process finally was ?
I recommend you to ask the HR. They are pretty opened to share this information.
The process depends on your type of recruiting. With MBAs they may have just the skype interviews.
ATKearney Dubai has the following process:
First, some candidates are introduced to pre-call, which is the short introdusction call for 10-15 min to speak about your motivation and CV (I think this you have already passed)
Then there are several rounds of interviews, depending on the candidate it might be 3-4 sometimes even 5 interviews, if there some doubts. In every case interview specific aspects are tested, so you have personal fit, where you might be asked about intellectual curiousity, teamwork, leadership and all this kind of staff as well as you have a case. Cases might be different either market-sizing or operations cases in different interview rounds.
Interview becomes harder from round to round. First starting with managers, then principals, then partners. And there is kick-off system: you actually need to pass the interview in order to get to the next level.
Regarding flying from Europe to Dubai, normally this is a case, but given current situation with COVID, I'm not sure that this is going to happen. I think that the entire interview will take place online.
I have many friends working with ATKearney Dubai and already helped candidates to get there.

This one came as quite a shock, licensing out six-inch(ish) scale Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle figures? It looks like S.H. Figuarts will indeed be bringing us some cartoon inspired TMNT figures. And it doesn’t appear that their plans stop at the four main turtles. At the Bluefin booth they conducted a survey and one of the questions was “which TMNT figure should we make next?” I voted Shredder. My buddy David voted April. April will probably win. I’m okay with that.
This set of four is quite an amazing depiction of the 90’s cartoon turtles. Even down to the cross eyed looks!
There wasn’t any stated release date as of yet, but I’d assume Q1 or Q2 2016 would be a safe bet. The figures are quite articulated. Maybe even too much? I did notice as I was taking pictures that Michelangelo fell backwards and one of the Bluefin booth attendants had to fix him. He was flopping all over the place. Of course these are also prototypes so they do have time to iron such issues out. I also can’t think of a Figuarts toy in my experience that had chronically loose joints.
I’m in on these bad boys … well at least depending on the price. Bowser has me a bit worried that across the board prices could go up. If these are around Power Ranger MSRP of $40 – $50 each then I’m in! I’m probably in anyway. Turtle Power!

Amazon signs long-term deals with Future Retail
Amazon India and Future Group have entered into long-term agreement for expanding its reach by using its mutual network to sell products.
10 Jan 2020 | By Dinesh Ingawale & Dinesh Ingawale
The development comes nearly five months after Amazon bought an indirect stake in Future Retail through its purchase of 49 percent stake in Future Coupons that in turn holds stake in Future Retail (FRL).
"FRL and Amazon India signed two agreements focusing on key categories - grocery and general merchandise, and fashion and footwear," according to a press statement.
Amazon India will also become the authorised online sales channel for FRL stores, and FRL will ensure participation of its relevant stores and programmes on the Amazon India marketplace, said the press note.
Besides, Future Consumer (FCL) has also inked a long-term agreement with Amazon Retail India for distribution of Future Consumer's portfolio of brands online. Some of FCL brands include Tasty Treat, Voom, Dreamery, Karmiq, Mother Earth, Kara, CleanMate and others.
As part of the partnership, FRL will augment existing store-infrastructure at its retail outlets for facilitating seamless packaging and pickup of products ordered online. FRL and Amazon India have already launched this service across 22 stores. Both companies plan on rolling this out across the entire FRL store chain based on agreed timelines.
The statement said further, "FRL will leverage its existing infrastructure, strong product knowledge and extensive brand portfolio resulting in higher store productivity and improved margins.”
Currently, FRL attracts over 350 million footfalls across its retail network, and Amazon India's marketplace will enable FRL to reach a wider customer base.
In addition, FRL will be listed on Amazon Prime Now, allowing customers to get food, grocery and general merchandise delivery within two hours in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.
FRL plans to soon list stores like Big Bazaar, and Foodhall in more cities on the Amazon India marketplace.
"In order to drive efficiencies, the two organisations will work closely through a dedicated team, and will explore synergies in distribution, customer acquisition, and marketing initiatives. This creates an enviable collaboration bringing together the best of consumer insights and geographical reach from the online and offline world," the statement added.
Kishore Biyani, chairman and managing director of FRL, said, "This arrangement will allow us to build upon each other’s strengths in the physical and digital space so that customers benefit from the best services, products, assortment and price".
"FRL’s national footprint of stores offering thousands of products across fashion, appliances, home, kitchen and grocery will now be available to millions of customers shopping on Amazon.in, in hours across over 25 cities," Amazon India senior vice president and country head Amit Agarwal said.
On the FCL-ARIPL partnership, Future Consumer’s managing director Ashni Biyani said the collaboration will expand the reach of its brands to new sets of customers on Amazon India's online marketplace.
"We will be working closely with Amazon to develop marketing and promotion initiatives and look forward to using Amazon’s technical expertise and resources to increase the reach of our brands. Our distinct portfolio of brands catering to aspirational categories will be an excellent addition to Amazon’s offerings. Hence, we believe this is a win-win agreement," Ashni Biyani added. | <urn:uuid:16cfb1a3-fb75-4d65-9204-90e7daa209d1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.printweek.in/news/amazon-signs-longterm-deals-with-future-retail-42612 | 2024-04-18T13:53:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.929001 | 719 |

Apart from the 100th anniversary celebrations of PPOA, the annual general meeting and governing council meeting of All India Federation of Master Printers will be conducted from 20 September and 22 September. According to Raveendra Joshi, "Over 600 to 700 press owners and printers are expected to be present for this three-day gathering." Joshi added, "The print industry is the second largest industry in the world. India has over three lakh printers creating employment for 35 to 40 lakh citizens in the country.
The PPOA press conference
Joshi added, "We feel that it’s a matter of pride for the city of Pune that the oldest print association in India and in the world was established 100 years ago in 1919." Joshi mentioned, "Looking ahead, we plan to make 1.4 billion people in India aware of the rich and proud printing legacy. We plan to establish a big printing museum in Pune which will present the oldest as well as the newest printing techniques along with the journey of the printing press. The overall cost of the project is estimated to be Rs 10 crore."
In addition, the association will start a ‘one stop mall’ for printers in Navi Peth area of Pune. Joshi said, "This project will be set up on the area of 10,000 sq/ft and will ensure one can source all types of printing press related material under one roof." | <urn:uuid:321f3ccf-01e1-4f0b-b494-17cce7563e42> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.printweek.in/news/pune-celebrates-hundred-years-of-print-on-21-september-42090 | 2024-04-18T14:24:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.935324 | 670 |

Are we all sitting comfortably on our selvedge denim/vintage chino clad arses? Good then I’ll begin…. A long time ago in 1911, in a lovely little place called Turin, a cool Italian cat called Walter began producing rubber-soled footwear under the name of Superga. Several years later his designs made use of the newly discovered vulcanised rubber, turning Superga into a bang on footwear classic. Seen about town on only the coolest of moped riders and Paninaros until more recently when the rest of us caught on to this charming sneaker. To mark their centenary, Superga are celebrating with a ltd edition take on their iconic 2750. Whilst still the same great looking shoe it’s been embellished with gold lace loops and aglets, the rubber has been extended to the toe cap, with the original 1911 ‘Superga’ logo being the final cherry on top of the tiramisu. | <urn:uuid:77887149-3ab7-4c2f-9684-292340f53dd0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.propermag.com/site/superga-2750-limited-edition-the-hundred-year-shoe-2011-08 | 2024-04-18T14:36:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.935199 | 199 |

Grant Funding Flows to Struggling Main Streets in MN
Wednesday, November 2, 2022
For some Minnesota small businesses, it's been harder to fully recover from major events of the past two years. A state grant program has a new round of funding for capital improvements, and partners say the goal is to get the money to areas of high need.
Minnesota is in its latest phase of the Main Street Economic Revitalization Program, established last year. One partner in distributing funding is the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation, with a key focus on commercial corridors in the East Metro affected by the pandemic, civil unrest and other challenges.
Claire Thomas, economic development program manager for the East Side Neighborhood Development Company, said business owners of color have particularly struggled.
"A lot of those lifelines that were put out to businesses during the pandemic, like PPP loans, they really were able to help a lot of businesses," Thomas acknowledged. "But for a lot of micro businesses, BIPOC-owned businesses, those programs were still pretty tough to access."
Eligible businesses can apply for grants of up to $750,000 if they have had economic struggles going back to March 2020. They are required to secure matching funds, and the Foundation can assist with those needs.
State officials say in some cases around the state, the program helps Main Street corridors still reeling from events like natural disasters.
Brandon Toner, director of the office of small business partnerships for the Department of Employment and Economic Development, said while a large manufacturing plant might create a lot of jobs for a community, the impact of small businesses cannot be overlooked.
"These are places that make a city, or Main Street or a town, a place where people want to live, people want to spend money," Toner contended.
Three out of every four jobs in Minnesota are in businesses with fewer than 500 employees. In diverse communities in the East Metro, Thomas pointed out the locations have purposes which go beyond sales and service.
"So, whether it's a place for community members to gather, for them to get their basic needs met, or to be able to celebrate together," Thomas noted. "We have a lot of cultural and community centers."
Community partners are facilitating grants for targeted corridors elsewhere in Minnesota, including other parts of the Twin Cities, as well as communities like Worthington.

As stated above, the investors go through the records to understand how the companies are growing and decide whether they should invest in the assets offered for trade in the market. Shareholders' EquityShareholder’s equity is the residual interest of the shareholders in the company and is calculated as the difference between Assets and Liabilities.

If the https://www.good-name.org/how-accounting-services-can-help-real-estate-companies-optimize-their-finances/ of a company depict improvement in performance, it signifies growth. As a result, investors know that investing in the entity would be a good idea. On the other hand, if the expenses, debt, and costs recorded in the statements are more than the revenue, income, and profits, the company’s performance is doubtful. Financial statements are a collection of summary-level reports about an organization's financial results, financial position, and cash flows. They include the income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows.
Operating activities detail cash flow that’s generated once the company delivers its regular goods or services, and includes both revenue and expenses. Investing activity is cash flow from purchasing or selling assets—usually in the form of physical property, such as real estate or vehicles, and non-physical property, like patents—using free cash, not debt. Financing activities detail cash flow from both debt and equity financing. The Financial Statement Data Sets below provide numeric information from the face financials of all financial statements. This data is extracted from exhibits to corporate financial reports filed with the Commission using eXtensible Business Reporting Language . As compared to the more extensive Financial Statement and Notes Data Sets, which provide the numeric and narrative disclosures from all financial statements and their notes, the Financial Statement Data Sets are more compact.
What is the purpose of financial statements?
Financial statements provide a snapshot of a corporation's financial health, giving insight into its performance, operations, and cash flow. Financial statements are essential since they provide information about a company's revenue, expenses, profitability, and debt.
Buyback Of SharesShare buyback refers to the repurchase of the company’s own outstanding shares from the open market using the accumulated funds of the company to decrease the outstanding shares in the company’s balance sheet. This is done either to increase the value of the existing shares or to prevent various shareholders from controlling the company. Financial statements are records that reflect how a company has performed financially in a fiscal year. | <urn:uuid:0271c7eb-c980-460e-9f49-ca237b882481> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.pugliadiscovervalleditria.it/the-ultimate-guide-to-the-three-financial/ | 2024-04-18T14:18:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.942172 | 1,652 |
Pro Arte Series A hog brushes are made from the highest grade of Chinese Jyukeis hog hair. The bristles are firm with a spring to them, making them ideal for oil and acrylic painting. This is because the fine quality natural hog hair holds the paint well and the brushes maintain their shape, even after many hours of continuous use and cleaning.
You can buy them in a round, filbert, short flat and long flat. The different shapes allow for a variety of painting techniques to be achieved. They come in sizes ranging from a small size 1 all the way up to a large size 12. All the Series A hog brushes have long, green, polished handles and seamless nickelled brass ferrules. These really are beautiful brushes for oil painters. If you have a slightly smaller budget, then you may wish to try the Pro Arte Series B Hog Brushes. | <urn:uuid:02ec8517-7f67-4a70-bdbb-d7119fd12f7b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.pullingers.com/c/100025/pro-arte-series-a-hog-brushes | 2024-04-18T13:31:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.958153 | 181 |

The Barossa experienced a very dry winter and spring, causing some concern amongst vignerons and winemakers alike.
Coupled with the ‘pleasure’ of a hail storm hitting some of our vineyards on 22 November 2018, and the hot dry conditions through January and February 2019 – made it another vintage of extremes!
Apart from our Montepulciano, Vintage 2019 will prove to be our lowest-yielding Barossa harvest since 2009.
The 2019 harvest started with picking our older Shiraz on the 25 February 2019 and was completed with the Aglianico on the 4 of April 2019.
Given the difficult weather conditions, we are quite excited about what we have made from the 2019 vintage. Shiraz which received the brunt of the hailstorm, combined with the warm and dry growing conditions, gave very light crops and small berries. However, this did result in good colour intensity, depth and varietal definition – promising even at this early stage.
The Ancestor Vine Cabernet has loads of depth and flavour, quite surprising given the conditions.
Grenache is very impressive. The dry warm conditions are perfect for this variety. This is a favoured variety with us here at Purple Hands and all three Grenache wines we make will shine from the 2019 vintage.
Yes, you read that right – three Grenache wines… stay tuned!
Maybe the stars of the vintage are the three Italian varietals, Montepulciano, Aglianico & Negroamaro. These varieties seem to cope with most weather conditions that Mother Nature throws at them. Their colour, depth, varietal definition and wonderful tannin has us very excited. We will definitely be botting Aglianico & Montepulciano as single vineyard varietals, but it should also be a joy blending the Serata.
The Negroamaro is also interesting, offering such distinctive flavours. It will be part of a brand new wine, so watch out for something exciting very very soon.
Mataro is another variety that loved the weather conditions. This generally late ripening variety was able to achieve very good phenolic ripeness. Something not always achieved in this variety. This in turn allowed for longer maceration on skins, as well as the addition of some whole clusters in the ferment which we have never tried this before. We have received some interesting results. Could be a chance of a single release. The last one was the fabulous 2015 vintage which was another warmer vintage.
A tough year in terms of crop levels, but the quality is very is smart. We will update everybody later in the year and let you know how the wines from 2019 are progressing.

What's the best pitching interface to use and why in MLB The Show 24? You're going to spend at least half of your time with San Diego Studio's latest baseball simulation pitching the ball, and as such you're going to want to settle on a pitching interface that optimises your potential of earning strikes. Of course, you can test drive them all in the Options Explorer, and as part of our MLB The Show 24 guide, we're going to introduce the best pitching interface to use and why. For more information on the best pitches and when to throw them refer to the link.
What's the Best Pitching Interface to Use and Why in MLB The Show 24?
In MLB The Show 24, there are five pitching interfaces you can choose from, all of which use the face buttons to let you select the pitch you want to use, and the left analogue stick to select the general direction you want it to go. The options are:
- Pinpoint: Uses a combination of timing and accuracy to determine pitch outcome, as you trace patterns to execute different pitches.
- Meter: A triple-click system similar to in classic golf games, where you set the power and accuracy by stopping a needle on a gauge.
- Pure Analog: Similar to Pinpoint in that it relies on timing and accuracy to determine the pitch outcome, but does not require you to trace patterns to execute different pitches.
- Pulse: A double-click system whereby the size of the pulsing circle determines the accuracy and outcome of the pitch.
- Classic: A stripped back option, where you simply need to aim the pitch and execute it with a button press.
The best pitching interface to use overall is Pinpoint, although this comes with the caveat of also being the most difficult to learn. The upshot to overcoming the learning curve here is that it gives you absolute precision, assuming you're tracing the patterns perfectly and getting the timing of your releases right. Spend a little bit of time in the practice mode if you don't feel confident enough with the mechanic, and remember that difficulty is selected independently from pitching interface, so you can still enjoy a slightly more forgiving experience if you're new to the game.
If you simply can't get on with Pinpoint, then we'd recommend Meter as a competent alternative. While this doesn't give you the same level of absolute precision as Pinpoint, it's accurate enough to accommodate more casual players, and you can still enjoy some success with it on the lower levels of online play. If you're planning to spend a lot of time with MLB The Show 23, though, we'd still recommend you take the time to practice and learn Pinpoint for that added accuracy.
One other suggestion we have is, just like with the hitting view, adjusting the camera to the pitching view named Pitcher or Pitcher Zoom can help you to get a better view of the strike zone. | <urn:uuid:a2ffc1c7-c0aa-4368-878a-4535d2c86230> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.pushsquare.com/guides/mlb-the-show-24-best-pitching-interface-to-use-and-why | 2024-04-18T13:30:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.961639 | 589 |
Here at Push Square, we love a Platinum Trophy and we know you do too. You'll doubtless recall that we already ran an article on the easiest PS4 Platinum Trophies to bolster your collection with minimal effort, but what about the other end of the spectrum? What are the most difficult or time-consuming Platinums you can pop to really show off to your friends? These are the hardest Platinum PS4 Trophies available right now.
Not including games that are broken or require online play but nobody is playing them, Crypt of the Necrodancer is perhaps the closest-to-impossible Platinum Trophy ever crafted by mortal hands. As it stands, Trophy tracking website psnprofiles.com lists a mere 11 users as having bonked the Platinum gong on this one, with a trophy rarity of 0.06%.
So, what makes this Trophy list PlayStation 4's very own Mount Everest? Well, it's a notoriously difficult rhythm-based roguelike to start with, but in order to unlock all of the Trophies, you'll need to play the game around fifty times, including multiple runs with each character with increasingly silly restrictions. The coup de grace is the Trophy "Lowest of the Low" which tasks you with beating the game with all nine characters, back to back in one run, without dying at all and with every character still in their default gear.
Anyone who clocks the Platinum in Crypt of the Necrodancer should receive a personal visit from Shuhei Yoshida himself to present them with an actual Platinum Trophy to put on their mantlepiece next to the picture of their mum.
Final Fantasy IX's Platinum is fairly easy, if a little grindy, aside from one absurd trophy. "Hail to the King" will only unlock after you've taken part in Final Fantasy IX's skipping mini-game and jumped the rope 1,000 times or more without tripping. Getting to 1,000 successful jumps will take a solid eight minutes of button tapping in perfect time, but the timing of the jumps changes periodically as you skip, and that's before you even consider the input lag between the controller and the television.
Going for "Hail to the King" is so pad-snappingly annoying that devious Trophy hunters have come up with a workaround that involves initiating a remote play session on PC and running a specially created script that takes care of the skipping for you automatically. Sure, it's cheesy, but getting the Trophy is the main thing, right? The answer, of course, is no. Don't you dare.
You can file this one under time-consuming rather than genuinely difficult, as you'd probably expect from an MMORPG. The Trophy that you've really got to watch out for in this one is "An Adventurer's Life" which will unlock once you've completed 1,000 levequests. Levequests aren't difficult, but you can only start one by spending a special currency called a levequest allowance. You automatically gain three allowances every 12 real-world hours, but you can only hold 100 of them at any one time so you can't just save them all up and blast through this Trophy in one go.
If you do your three levequests every day then you're looking at a six-month commitment, and by the time you throw in all of the other trophies, this one is probably going to take nigh-on 1,000 hours to Platinum. Honestly, there are marriages that haven't lasted that long.

What's weird about Gran Turismo Sport is that for the most part, the Trophy list is fairly plain sailing if you're into driving games. If you enjoy a race then you should find that you can pick up most of the Bronze and Silver awards without too much trouble, but there's a quartet of Gold Trophies that'll likely leave you with road rage.
The biggest hurdle you'll face on your quest for Gran Turismo Sport glory is the Trophy "Record Number of Wins" in which you're tasked with matching Michael Schumacher's record of 91 Formula 1 wins. And you have to do it online against other people in Sport Mode. Aside from the massive time commitment required, the more you win the more you'll rank up and the stronger your competition will become, meaning this Trophy gets harder the closer you get. This one really separates the serious racers from the ones just driving to a local castle to test out their eyesight.
Honestly, we don't even know how to pronounce the name of this game which is a bad start. This remaster of the niche fighting game Koihime†Enbu contains a number of Trophies that unlock through pulling off incredibly complicated combos. We're not talking ten hit combos here, kids. We're talking 75 hit combos that need to be precisely inputted with small margins for error. Even watching videos of people doing it on YouTube was difficult.
And that's it. If you're not an android or some kind of child prodigy, you're probably not going to get this one. You need thumbs and fingers that move with the precision and dexterity of a skilled jazz musician, and sadly, our bugle playing days are long since over. | <urn:uuid:6f42cb47-2878-4ac2-802f-2b41b87176a7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.pushsquare.com/guides/the-hardest-ps4-platinum-trophies | 2024-04-18T13:10:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.961895 | 1,104 |
Last week’s official PlayStation Blogcast teased the arrival of a new on-demand video service for PlayStation 3, and, after much speculation, that feature has sneaked its way onto the system’s XMB today.
Those in North America will find a new icon under the PS3’s TV heading, unlocking access to Amazon Instant Video. From there you’ll be able to purchase and rent movies from Amazon’s extensive selection, adding over 100,000 movies to the PS3’s vast offering. Even better, Amazon Prime subscribers will be given the option to stream over 3,000 movies at no additional cost.
Amazon Instant Video joins an already extensive roster of on-demand options for PS3 owners, including Netflix and Hulu. | <urn:uuid:3e0dd7ce-a268-4ffa-a422-87ae8ba44aa0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2012/04/amazon_instant_video_sneaks_onto_playstation_3 | 2024-04-18T13:11:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.891656 | 158 |
The Christmas tree is still up, presents are discarded around the house, the tins of Celebrations are half empty, and Push Square scribes are penning articles that celebrate the very best of everyone's favourite hobby. That's right folks, we hope you're enjoying Game of the Year 2018!
However, you won't find any of those nominees in the following piece. We're here to recognise those titles that came and went without even a hint of intellectual discussion, even if they may have warranted some. These are the PlayStation 4 games you already forgot were released in the year of 2018.
For many, The Inpatient was one of the reasons for being an early adopter of PlayStation VR. A prequel to the horror hit Until Dawn, and after developer Supermassive Games had already proven itself upon the headset's launch with spin-off Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, what could possibly go wrong?
As it turns out, rather a lot. A captivating opening gives way to tedium and mediocrity as gameplay devolves into not much more than running through hallways and interacting with bland characters, who are forgotten about just minutes after meeting their inevitable demise. The Inpatient was boring, and with a whole host of endings that barely scratched the surface of being memorable, the whole experience was very quickly erased from our minds.
It feels like Lost Sphear was almost destined to be completely forgettable. I Am Setsuna put Tokyo RPG Factory on the map with its ode to the classic JRPGs of yesteryear, but it really realised its factory mantra with this by-the-numbers outing.
On paper, it's not an inherently bad game, but thanks to a battle system that looked and operated almost identically to that of its predecessor, and a story that was just as lame and predictable as one of the copycat PSone RPGs that tried to emulate Final Fantasy VII, it gets lost among a tsunami of better titles. One or two role-playing fanatics may have found something to like, but the world had already moved on a day later.
Yikes, that artstyle. 1993's Secret of Mana is considered one of the greatest JRPGs of all time, but you'd struggle to believe that if the title's remake earlier this year was the only evidence. The change in presentation stripped away much of the SNES original's charm, while voice acting sounded like the attempt of an amateur.
The battle system and story remained pretty much intact, but the majority of interested parties turned a blind eye as soon as it released thanks to that art style. It's an odd thing, you can play Secret of Mana on a PS4, but nobody would recommend that you do, with most forgetting of its existence entirely.
Oh boy, Metal Gear Survive. This scribe will continue to stick by the 8/10 awarded in the now infamous Push Square review, but even he can't deny that Konami's latest take on the series has largely been lost to time. The hate train crushed any chance of success for the title, with over-reactive internet personalities just looking for something they could use to have a dig at the game, from its microtransactions to a gameplay loop that simply didn't click with them.
It was and still is a good game, but Metal Gear Survive has undoubtedly been forgotten about ten months later. Don't worry, it won't crop up in Push Square's top ten list. Liam Croft's on the other hand...
Worryingly, this is the second entry on this list for developer Supermassive Games. Bravo Team wasn't the greatest PSVR game thanks to incredibly repetitive gameplay, imprecise controls, and poor hit feedback. This wasn't a shooter worth engaging with past its conclusion.
The title was so distinctly average that it falls into the realm where it's probably tougher to remember it even exists. With no true atrocities to keep it in your mind, it's just sort of there. The far superior Firewall Zero Hour ate its lunch later in the year, and so Bravo Team is a distant memory when it comes to tactical shooters on PSVR.
The Crew 2 is the title that fuelled us to create this article all over again this year. Despite its neat vehicle shifting mechanic, this has to be one of the most completely forgettable racers of the generation. Average and inoffensive in every way, Ubisoft's attempt at a sequel to the clunky 2014 original didn't fare any better.
Apparently an online multiplayer mode was supposed to be patched into the game last month? Who even knows, or cares, if that actually happened or not. The Crew 2 is yet another driving title from Ubisoft to forget, and even if the first outing had a small resurgence thanks to DLC, we don't see a Rainbow Six: Siege-like transformation happening here.
Two years later, the best thing about We Happy Few continues to be its announcement trailer. When the game finally released back in August on PS4, it was met with widespread mediocre reviews that complained of a game that tried to do too much while actually delivering on very little. Survival mechanics soured the experience, bug and glitches were aplenty, and the story felt like it had been stretched to triple the size it should be.
We Happy Few was pitched as a AAA title, but upon launch, was found to be nowhere near. That of course isn't the game's fault, but when the experience suffers with many major technical deficiencies and a gameplay loop that bores quickly, it can't be considered competent on any sort of level. Lost to the depths of a GAME bargain bin, We Happy Few has been quickly forgotten about.
What's that? Konami remastered the second Zone of the Enders game? Huh? Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner Mars passed most people by without a care in the world, and we can't say we regret letting it slip by either. We didn't even review it! It was a PlayStation VR title, too, just to shrink that potential target market a little bit more.
Was there a game so utterly forgettable that even we passed it by when looking for entrants in this year's article?

To the Community we serve,
Since the beginning of January 2022, we have been working diligently at building the foundation for a regionalized fire and EMS company. We are excited to announce that on September 11, 2023, the Kinzer Fire Company and Gordonville Fire & EMS merged to provide emergency services to the community as Station 40, Pequea Valley Fire Department. As of today, September 28th, at 2pm the Lancaster County 911 center has officially retired the individual station identifications of Gordonville Fire and EMS Station 43 and the Kinzer Fire Company Station 45 and placed the Pequea Valley Fire Department Station 40 in service. Both companies will continue to serve the community's needs from their current locations with no services being interrupted.
As we interact with you and many people who travel through our area, we recognize that things are changing at a fast pace. The needs of our community and how we respond to them have been one of these changes and we find ourselves needing to be more proactive in how we move forward with providing emergency services. Price increases, the decrease in the number of volunteers and current events are just a few of the reasons that working together would benefit everyone we serve. As we join together as PVFD, we will be able to collaborate better within Fire and EMS incidents, have more opportunities to train together, and we will have better purchasing power as we make the necessary purchases for multiple stations. Our desire is to have what we need in order to tend to most emergencies without wasting money on duplicate purchases of apparatus that a neighboring company may already have and not promoting the construction of multi-million dollar buildings that are all within a few miles from each other. Depending on what type of fire apparatus, it could cost over one million dollars and a new ambulance could cost over four hundred thousand.
With this in mind, we wanted to let you know that we are still going to hold our community sales and other fund raising activities at both Kinzer and Gordonville locations. We appreciate all of the support throughout the years and we look forward to developing the relationships even more while we move forward as PVFD. If you are interested in how we operate, want to visit one of the locations or want to know how you can get involved with EMS or Fire service to your community, please contact us at 717-768-3869.
Along with a new station name and station number, comes a new Board of Directors, new officer positions and apparatus and ambulance call signs that are all listed below. Please make note of these changes.

I have six honest serving men
They taught me all I knew
Their names are What, and Where and When;
and Why and How and Who.
–Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)
Interestingly, these same six questions are used in many marketing campaigns, with an emphasis on answering the question “Why?”
In a recent article at psychotactics.com called, “The Power of Why: Your Psychological Ally To Marketing Success!” the author says:
“Let’s assume you needed to go to the supermarket. All the other triggers (how, when, where, who and what) would make absolutely no difference if you didn’t know ‘WHY’ you were headed there. Everything else would be totally irrelevant. Once you know WHY you’re doing something, everything else is just a matter of logistics.” Full article
Simon Sinek’s TED talk “How Great Leaders Inspire Action?” explains the power of knowing why we do the things we do. He explains his message through a simplistic, bulls-eye graphic that he calls the “The Golden Circle”. In the graphic there are three rings. The outer ring represents ‘what’, the middle ring represents ‘how’, and the core represents ‘why.’
He explains that this model corresponds to the way our brains are wired and applies equally to both individuals and companies. Our brain starts from the outer circle and moves inward and this is what is typically done in marketing.
He says that the successful companies, the progressive companies, and the winning companies operate in reverse. They start from the inside – out, explaining ‘why’ they do what they do before anything else.
He gave this example using Apple’s marketing strategy:
Let me give you an example .I use Apple because they’re easy to understand and everybody gets it. If Apple were like everyone else, a marketing message from them might sound like this: “We make great computers. They’re beautifully designed, simple to use and user friendly. Want to buy one?” “Meh.” And that’s how most of us communicate.
That’s how most marketing is done, that’s how most sales is done and that’s how most of us communicate interpersonally. We say what we do, we say how we’re different or how we’re better and we expect some sort of a behavior, a purchase, a vote, something like that. Here’s our new law firm: We have the best lawyers with the biggest clients, we always perform for our clients who do business with us. Here’s our new car: It gets great gas mileage, it has leather seats, buy our car. But it’s uninspiring.
Here’s how Apple actually communicates. “Everything we do, we believe in challenging the status quo. We believe in thinking differently. The way we challenge the status quo is by making our products beautifully designed, simple to use and user friendly. We just happen to make great computers. Want to buy one? “Totally different right? You’re ready to buy a computer from me. All I did was reverse the order of the information. What it proves to us is that people don’t buy what you do; people buy why you do it.
Simple? You bet. Effective? Very.
All customers really need to know is the answer to one simple question: Why should I chose you over all my other options? Why should I pick you over all of your competition?
All the fancy graphics, signage, websites, aren’t going to sway a prospect into a customer until you answer this basic question. Why?
Why should I spend my hard-earned money? Why should I spend valuable time at your website? Why should I watch your video? Why should I read your email or newsletter? Why? You better be prepared to answer that question on the first page of your website, in the title of your email, and in your headings and not buried somewhere your reader/visitor needs a map to find.
Sometimes, ‘why’ isn’t easy to put into words. But this simple, practical piece of advice often pulls the psychological trigger for people to buy. Try starting off by answering Why, before tackling What and How. Your result will be worth it. | <urn:uuid:dab64595-a7fb-489e-8600-b85105d0bc2c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.radiusbridge.com/the-power-of-why-in-marketing-your-business/ | 2024-04-18T14:03:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.954293 | 946 |
