I posted this article, “How Key Pieces Made A Comeback” on my Facebook page a few days ago and it sparked a lot of conversation, so I thought it might be fun to continue the discussion here.
For a while, I was enamored with the idea of developing a uniform, but ultimately found that too restrictive. I’ve gravitated toward the idea of key pieces instead, the types and styles of clothes that work best for me.
Of course, fashion houses and ready-to-wear designers have always had house classics — think of Chanel’s bouclé jacket, Mulberry’s Bayswater handbag or a glitzy Dolce & Gabbana cocktail dress. Such items keep customers coming back throughout their lifetime, which keeps retailers happy. But more often than not, these key pieces are overlooked by the press in favour of collections with ephemeral narratives shown at season-specific fashion weeks.
While the article focuses on high-end designer brands, I think the idea of key pieces is relevant no matter where we shop. One of the crucial elements in a stylish and functional wardrobe is cohesion, where the majority of pieces work together. When there’s too much radical shift in designs from season to season, that becomes harder to achieve. Most of us don’t buy an entire wardrobe at once, and it’s important to be able to build over time.
“We felt too much information and too many choices are major issues in a women’s life in 2016,” say Meyer and Vaillant. “The rhythm of the seasons is terrible for designers and the pressure to produce more and more, without taking the time to analyse ideas, is awful. When a design is beautiful, when it just works, why not make it evolve from season to season? Why not develop its lines and technical qualities, rather than starting everything from scratch? Less is more.”
After all, this is how we’ve been told for years that French women (and the most stylish women anywhere) shop. They identify the few key pieces that suit them, and the designers or brands that make “their” best versions of those pieces…and then stick with them, building their wardrobes season after season, and replenishing the items that eventually become worn or dated. This requires that brands produce a coherent and cohesive selection of key pieces over time. While most of us are not shopping the high-end designers, we want the same thing from the brands we rely on: some consistency in style, fit and vision. I hope the broader shift away from hard-and-fast trends will also help brands to move toward more consistency across their collections.
One of the reasons that so much of my wardrobe comes from Eileen Fisher is because they seem to understand this. While I don’t always like the direction of every season’s collection (enough with the boxy sweaters, already!) over the years I’ve built upon a core of basics, adding seasonal or accent pieces periodically. And when those basics need to be replaced, I can almost always find something current that fills the same role.
What did you think of the article? Which brands do you find have the key pieces you keep coming back for?

Today, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) will begin implementing a new rule that will make it safer and cheaper to send money to loved ones abroad. Consumers wire billions of dollars to foreign countries every year, but remittance providers can sometimes tack unnecessary, exorbitant costs onto those money transfers. In 2009 alone, immigrants from Mexico wired almost $23 billion in remittances and spent an estimated $1.5 billion in fees and other costs to perform these transactions. With the adoption of these new provisions, consumers will finally have the information they need to make good decisions about remittance products and the confidence of knowing that a consumer watchdog is looking after their interests in this market.
The new provisions require that:
- Financial institutions must provide full disclosure to consumers before accepting payment.
- Disclosures must include the exchange rate, fees, and the amount of money to be delivered.
- Proof of payment, along with the date the money will be received, must also be provided to the consumer.
- Companies providing remittance transfers are responsible for any errors that occur.
NCLR applauds the CFPB for pushing new banking and financial reform efforts that directly help Latinos and other immigrants. The remittance market is huge but historically has been loosely regulated. Thankfully, the CFPB has worked collaboratively with groups like NCLR to ensure that our concerns are addressed. These provisions will help consumers better understand up front what they are paying for, giving them the opportunity to shop for the best deal. Having worked on this issue for years, NCLR is pleased to see this sensible outcome and will continue working with the CFPB to make sure these new rules work for everyone. | <urn:uuid:53024aa9-21b8-4bf3-9a14-93f3b629a697> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://unidosus.org/blog/2013/10/28/new-rules-will-make-money-transfers-abroad-safer/ | 2024-04-13T22:45:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.953022 | 347 |
/plooh"toh/, n.1. Class. Myth. a name given to Hades, under which he is identified by the Romans with Orcus.2. Astron. the planet ninth in order from the sun, having an equatorial diameter of about 2100 miles (3300 km), a mean distance from the sun of 3.674 billion miles (5.914 billion km), a period of revolution of 248.53 years, and one known moon, Charon. See table under planet.
* * *
Ninth planet from the Sun.It was discovered in 1930 by Clyde W. Tombaugh (1906–97) and named after the Greek god of the underworld. It is usually the outermost of the known planets, averaging about 3.7 billion mi (5.9 billion km) from the Sun (within the Kuiper belt), but its eccentric orbit brings it closer to the Sun than Neptune for 22 years during its 248-year orbit. Its axis is tipped 120°, so it rotates nearly on its side and "backward" (see retrograde motion) once every 6.39 days, locked synchronously with the orbit of its single moon, Charon, discovered in 1978. Pluto has a diameter of about 1,455 mi (2,340 km), roughly two-thirds that of the Moon, and has less than 1% of Earth's mass and only about 6% of its surface gravity. Its estimated average surface temperature is near -390 °F (-235 °C). Its thin atmosphere contains nitrogen, methane, and perhaps other heavier gases. Pluto is thought to be made of frozen gases with a significant fraction of rocky material. Its size, composition, and orbital location in the Kuiper belt have sparked debate over its classification as a major planet.* * *
Introductionlarge, distant member of the solar system that formerly was regarded as the outermost and smallest planet. It also was considered the most recently discovered planet, having been found in 1930. In August 2006 the International Astronomical Union (IAU), the organization charged by the scientific community with classifying astronomical objects, voted to remove Pluto from the list of planets and give it the new classification of dwarf planet. The change reflects astronomers' realization that Pluto is a large member of the Kuiper belt, a collection of debris of ice and rock left over from the formation of the solar system and now revolving around the Sun beyond Neptune's orbit. (For the IAU's distinction between planet and dwarf planet and further discussion of the change in Pluto's classification, see planet.)Pluto is not visible in the night sky to the unaided eye. Its largest moon, Charon, is close enough in size to Pluto that it has become common to refer to the two bodies as a double system. Pluto is designated by the symbol ♇.Basic data for Pluto Basic data for PlutoPluto is named for the god of the underworld in Roman mythology (the Greek equivalent is Hades). It is so distant that the Sun's light, which travels about 300,000 km (186,000 miles) per second, takes more than five hours to reach it. An observer standing on Pluto's surface would see the Sun as an extremely bright star in the dark sky, providing Pluto on average 1/1,600 of the amount of sunlight that reaches Earth. Pluto's surface temperature therefore is so cold that common gases such as nitrogen and carbon monoxide exist there as ices.Because of Pluto's remoteness and small size, the best telescopes on Earth and in Earth orbit have been able to resolve little detail on its surface. Indeed, such basic information as its radius and mass have been difficult to determine; most of what is known about Pluto has been learned since the late 1970s as an outcome of the discovery of Charon. Pluto has yet to be visited by spacecraft, though one departed Earth for the Pluto-Charon system in 2006; many key questions about it and its environs can be answered only by close-up robotic observations.Basic astronomical dataPluto's mean distance from the Sun, about 5.9 billion km (3.7 billion miles or 39.5 astronomical units (astronomical unit)), gives it an orbit larger than that of the outermost planet, Neptune. (One astronomical unit [AU] is the average distance from Earth to the Sun—about 150 million km [93 million miles].) Its orbit, compared with those of the planets, is atypical in several ways. It is more elongated, or eccentric, than any of the planetary orbits (orbit) and more inclined (at 17.1°) to the ecliptic, the plane of Earth's orbit, near which the orbits of most of the planets lie. In traveling its eccentric path around the Sun, Pluto varies in distance from 29.7 AU, at its closest point to the Sun (perihelion), to 49.5 AU, at its farthest point (aphelion). Because Neptune orbits in a nearly circular path at 30.1 AU, Pluto is for a small part of each revolution actually closer to the Sun than is Neptune. Nevertheless, the two bodies will never collide, because Pluto is locked in a stabilizing 3:2 resonance with Neptune—i.e., it completes two orbits around the Sun in exactly the time it takes Neptune to complete three. This gravitational interaction affects their orbits such that they can never pass closer than about 17 AU. The last time Pluto reached perihelion occurred in 1989; for about 10 years before that time and again afterward, Neptune was more distant than Pluto from the Sun.Observations from Earth have revealed that Pluto's brightness varies with a period of 6.3873 Earth days, which is now well established as its rotation period (sidereal day). Of the planets, only Mercury, with a rotation period of almost 59 days, and Venus, with 243 days, turn more slowly. Pluto's axis of rotation is tilted at an angle of 120° from the perpendicular to the plane of its orbit, so that its north pole actually points 30° below the plane. (By convention, above the plane is taken to mean in the direction of Earth's and the Sun's north poles; below, in the opposite direction. For comparison, Earth's north polar axis is tilted 23.5° away from the perpendicular, above its orbital plane.) Pluto thus rotates nearly on its side in a retrograde (retrograde motion) direction (opposite the direction of rotation of the Sun and most of the planets); an observer on its surface would see the Sun rise in the west and set in the east.Basic data for PlutoCompared with the planets, Pluto is also anomalous in its physical characteristics. Pluto has a radius less than half that of Mercury; it is only about two-thirds the size of Earth's Moon. Next to the outer planets—the giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—it is strikingly tiny. When these characteristics are combined with what is known about its density and composition, Pluto appears to have more in common with the large icy moons of the outer planets than with any of the planets themselves. Its closest twin is Neptune's moon Triton, which suggests a similar origin for these two bodies (see below Origin of Pluto and its moons (Pluto)). For additional orbital and physical data about Pluto, see the table (Basic data for Pluto).The atmosphereAlthough the detection of methane ice on Pluto's surface in the 1970s (see below The surface and interior (Pluto)) gave scientists confidence that the body had an atmosphere, direct observation of it had to wait until the next decade. Discovery of its atmosphere was made in 1988 when Pluto passed in front of (occulted (occultation)) a star as observed from Earth. The star's light gradually dimmed just before it disappeared behind Pluto, demonstrating the presence of a thin, greatly distended atmosphere. Because Pluto's atmosphere must consist of vapours in equilibrium with their ices, small changes in temperature should have a large effect on the amount of gas in the atmosphere. During the years surrounding Pluto's perihelion in 1989, when Pluto was slightly less cold than average, more of its frozen gases vaporized; the atmosphere was then at or near its thickest, making it a favourable time to study the body. Astronomers in the year 2000 estimated a surface pressure in the range of a few to several tens of microbars (one microbar is one-millionth of sea-level pressure on Earth). At aphelion, when Pluto is receiving the least sunlight, its atmosphere may not be detectable at all.Observations made during occultations cannot provide direct information about atmospheric composition, but they can allow determination of the ratio of mean molecular weight to temperature. Using reasonable assumptions about the atmospheric temperature, scientists have calculated that each particle—i.e., each atom or molecule—of Pluto's atmosphere has a mean molecular weight of approximately 25 atomic mass units. This implies that significant amounts of gases heavier than methane, which has a molecular weight of 16, must also be present. Molecular nitrogen, with a molecular weight of 28, must in fact be the dominant constituent, because nitrogen ice was discovered on the surface (see below The surface and interior (Pluto)) and is known to be more volatile than methane ice. Nitrogen is also the main constituent of the atmospheres of both Triton and Saturn's largest satellite, Titan, as well as of Earth.Although ongoing Earth-based observations will add to knowledge about the atmosphere and other aspects of Pluto, major new insights will likely require a close-up visit from a spacecraft. Scientists looked to the U.S. New Horizons spacecraft mission, launched in 2006, to Pluto, Charon, and the outer solar system beyond to provide much of the needed data. The mission plan called for a nine-year flight to the Pluto-Charon system followed by a 150-day flyby for investigation of the surfaces, atmospheres, interiors, and space environment of the two bodies.The surface and interiorObservations of Pluto show that its colour is slightly reddish, although much less red than Mars or Jupiter's moon Io. Thus, the surface of Pluto cannot be composed simply of pure ices, a conclusion supported by the observed variation in brightness caused by its rotation. Its average reflectivity, or albedo, is 0.55 (i.e., it returns 55 percent of the light that strikes it), compared with 0.1 for the Moon and 0.8 for Triton.The first crude infrared spectroscopic measurements (see spectroscopy), made in 1976, revealed the presence of solid methane on Pluto's surface. Using new ground-based instrumentation available in the early 1990s, observers discovered ices of water, carbon monoxide, and molecular nitrogen. Although nitrogen's spectral signature is intrinsically very weak, it is now clear that this substance must be the dominant surface constituent. The methane is present both as patches of pure methane ice and as a frozen “solution” of methane in the nitrogen ice. The nature of the dark, reddish material remains to be determined; some mixture of organic compounds produced by photochemical reactions in atmospheric gases or surface ices seems a likely possibility. Brightness fluctuations observed during periods when Pluto and Charon mutually eclipse one another (see below Pluto's moons (Pluto)) reveal that Pluto's south polar region is unusually bright. Scientists find such variation in Pluto's surface striking because, with the exception of Saturn's mysterious moon Iapetus, all the other icy bodies in the outer solar system exhibit much more uniform surfaces. Brightness maps based on observations with the Earth-orbiting Hubble Space Telescope reveal some of this heterogeneity, but only visiting spacecraft can provide the spatial resolution needed to make associations between brightness and surface composition or topography.The same Pluto-Charon eclipses have allowed astronomers to estimate the masses and radii of the two bodies. From this information their densities have been calculated to fall between 1.92 and 2.06 grams per cubic cm for Pluto and between 1.51 and 1.81 grams per cubic cm for Charon. These values suggest that both bodies are composed of a significant fraction of materials such as silicate (silicate mineral) rock and organic compounds denser than water ice (which has a density of 1 gram per cubic cm). It is customary to assume that Pluto, like the icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn, has an inner rocky core surrounded by a thick mantle of water ice. The frozen nitrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane observed on its surface are expected to be in the form of a relatively thin layer, similar to the layer of water on Earth's surface. Such a model, however, requires verification by spacecraft observations.The surface temperature of Pluto has proved very difficult to measure. Observations made in 1983 from the Earth-orbiting Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) suggest values in the range of 45 to 58 K (−379 to −355 °F, −228 to −215 °C), whereas measurements from Earth's surface at millimetre wavelengths imply a slightly lower range of 35 to 50 K (−397 to −370 °F, −238 to −223 °C). The temperature certainly must vary over the surface, depending on the reflectivity at a given location and the angle of the noon Sun there. The solar energy falling on Pluto is also expected to decrease by a factor of roughly three as it moves from perihelion to aphelion.Pluto's moonsPluto possesses three known moons. Charon, by far the largest, is fully half the size of Pluto. It revolves around Pluto—more accurately, the two bodies revolve around a common centre of mass—at a distance of about 19,640 km (12,200 miles), equal to about eight Pluto diameters. (By contrast, Earth's Moon is a little more than one-fourth the size of Earth and is separated from the latter by about 30 Earth diameters.) Charon's period of revolution is exactly equal to the rotation period of Pluto itself; in other words, Charon is in synchronous orbit around Pluto. As a result, Charon is visible from only one hemisphere of Pluto. It remains above the same location on Pluto's surface, never rising or setting (just as do communication satellites in geostationary orbits over Earth; see spaceflight: Earth orbit (spaceflight)). In addition, as with most moons in the solar system, Charon is in a state of synchronous rotation—i.e., it always presents the same face to Pluto.Data for Pluto's moon CharonCharon is somewhat less reflective (has a lower albedo—about 0.35) than Pluto and is more neutral in colour. Its spectrum reveals the presence of water ice, which appears to be the dominant surface constituent. There is no hint of the solid methane that is so obvious on its larger neighbour. The observations to date were not capable of detecting ices of nitrogen or carbon monoxide, but, given the absence of methane, which is less volatile, they seem unlikely to be present. As discussed in the section The surface and interior (Pluto), above, Charon's density implies that the moon contains materials such as silicates and organic compounds that are denser than water ice. The disposition of these materials inside Charon is even more speculative than it is for Pluto. For additional data about Charon, see the table (Data for Pluto's moon Charon).Scientists have exploited the presence of Charon to reveal several characteristics of Pluto that would not otherwise be known, particularly its mass and size. Much of this information was acquired through the extraordinary coincidence that in 1985, just seven years after Charon's discovery, it began a five-year period of mutual eclipse events with Pluto in which the moon alternately crossed the disk of (transited) and was hidden (was occulted, or was eclipsed) by Pluto, as seen from Earth, every 6.4 days. These events occur when Earth passes through Charon's orbital plane around Pluto, which happens only twice during Pluto's 248-year orbit around the Sun. Careful observations of these events allowed determinations of the radii of Pluto and Charon and of the masses of both bodies that were more precise than heretofore possible. In addition, monitoring the changes in the total brightness of the two bodies as they blocked each other permitted astronomers to estimate their individual overall albedos and even to create maps depicting brightness differences over their surfaces.Pluto's other two moons, called Hydra and Nix (provisionally designated S/2005 P1 and S/2005 P2, respectively, on their discovery), are much smaller than Charon—about 60 and 50 km (37 and 31 miles) in diameter, respectively, if their surface reflectivity is assumed to be similar to Charon's. They revolve around Pluto outside Charon's path in nearly circular orbits (like Charon) and in the same orbital plane as Charon. Based on preliminary observations, the orbital radius of Hydra is about 64,700 km (40,200 miles); of Nix, 49,400 km (30,700 miles). It appears that for every 12 orbits completed by Charon, Hydra makes about 2 orbits (for a ratio of 6:1 in their orbital periods), while Nix makes nearly 3 orbits (for a 4:1 ratio); this also means that the orbital periods of Hydra and Nix are in a 3:2 ratio. These relationships of the orbital periods, which are approximately in the ratios of small whole numbers, suggest that the small moons are in stable dynamic resonances with Charon and with each other—that is, all three bodies pass one another periodically, interacting via gravity in a way that tends to maintain the regularity of their encounters.Discoveries of Pluto and its moonsWhen Pluto was found, it was considered the third planet to be discovered, after Uranus and Neptune, as opposed to the six planets that have been visible in the sky to the naked eye since ancient times. The existence of a ninth planet had been postulated beginning in the late 19th century on the basis of apparent perturbations of the orbital motion of Uranus, which suggested that a more-distant body was gravitationally disturbing it. Astronomers later realized that these perturbations were spurious—the gravitational force from Pluto's small mass is not strong enough to have been the source of the suspected disturbances. Thus, Pluto's discovery was a remarkable coincidence attributable to careful observations rather than to accurate prediction of the existence of a hypothetical planet.The search for the expected planet was supported most actively at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz., U.S., in the early 20th century. It was initiated by the founder of the observatory, Percival Lowell (Lowell, Percival), an American astronomer who had achieved notoriety through his highly publicized claims of canal (Mars, canals of) sightings on Mars. After two unsuccessful attempts to find the planet prior to Lowell's death in 1916, an astronomical camera built specifically for this purpose and capable of collecting light from a wide field of sky was put into service in 1929, and a young amateur astronomer, Clyde Tombaugh (Tombaugh, Clyde W.), was hired to carry out the search. On Feb. 18, 1930, less than one year after he began his work, Tombaugh found Pluto in the constellation Gemini. The object appeared as a dim “star” of the 15th magnitude that slowly changed its position against the fixed background stars as it pursued its 248-year orbit around the Sun. Although Lowell and other astronomers had predicted that the unknown planet would be much larger and brighter than the object Tombaugh found, Pluto was quickly accepted as the expected ninth planet. The symbol invented for it, ♇, stands both for the first two letters of Pluto and for the initials of Percival Lowell.Charon was discovered in 1978 on images of Pluto that had been recorded photographically at the U.S. Naval Observatory (United States Naval Observatory) station in Flagstaff, fewer than 6 km (3.7 miles) from the site of Pluto's discovery. These images were being recorded by James W. Christy and Robert S. Harrington in an attempt to obtain more-accurate measurements of Pluto's orbit. The new satellite was named after the boatman in Greek mythology who ferries dead souls to Hades' realm in the underworld.Prior to the discovery of Charon, Pluto was thought to be larger and more massive than it actually is; there was no way to determine either quantity directly. Even in the discovery images, Charon appears as an unresolved bump on the side of Pluto, an indication of the observational difficulties posed by the relative nearness of the two bodies, their great distance from Earth, and the distorting effects of Earth's atmosphere. Only near the end of the 20th century, with the availability of the Hubble Space Telescope and Earth-based instruments equipped with adaptive optics that compensate for atmospheric turbulence, did astronomers first resolve Pluto and Charon into separate bodies.A team of nine astronomers working in the United States discovered Pluto's two small moons, Hydra and Nix, in 2005 in images made with the Hubble Space Telescope during a concerted search for objects traveling around Pluto as small as 25 km (16 miles) in diameter. To confirm the orbits, the astronomers checked Hubble images of Pluto and Charon made in 2002 for surface-mapping studies and found faint but definite indications of two objects moving along the orbital paths calculated from the 2005 images.Origin of Pluto and its moonsBefore the discovery of Charon, it was popular to assume that Pluto was a former moon of Neptune that had somehow escaped its orbit. This idea gained support from the apparent similarity of the dimensions of Pluto and Triton and the near coincidence in Triton's orbital period (5.9 days) and Pluto's rotation period (6.4 days). It was suggested that a close encounter between these two bodies when they were both moons led to the ejection of Pluto from the Neptunian system and caused Triton to assume the retrograde orbit that is presently observed.Astronomers found it difficult to establish the likelihood that all these events would have occurred, and the discovery of Charon provided information that further refuted the theory. Because the revised mass of Pluto is only half that of Triton, Pluto clearly could not have caused the reversal of Triton's orbit. Also, the fact that Pluto has a proportionally large moon of its own makes the escape idea implausible. Current thinking favours the idea that Pluto and Charon instead formed as two independent bodies in the solar nebula, the gaseous cloud from which the solar system condensed (see solar system: Origin of the solar system (solar system)). A collision between Pluto and a proto-Charon could have produced a debris ring around Pluto that accreted by gravitational attraction to form the present moon. This scenario is similar to the currently favoured model for the formation of the Moon as a result of the collision of a Mars-sized body with Earth (see Moon: Origin and evolution (Moon)). Just as the Moon appears to be deficient in volatile elements relative to Earth as a consequence of its high-temperature origin, so also can the absence of methane on Charon, along with the relatively high densities of both Pluto and Charon, be explained by a similar process.Astronomers have argued that Pluto's two small moons also are products of the same collision that resulted in the present Charon. The alternative scenario—that they formed independently elsewhere in the outer solar system and were later gravitationally captured by the Pluto-Charon system—does not appear likely given the combination of circular coplanar orbits and multiple dynamic resonances that currently exist for the two small bodies and Charon. Rather, these conditions suggest that material in the ring of debris that was ejected from the collision accreted into all three moons—and possibly into others yet to be found.This collision scenario implies that at the time the Pluto-Charon system formed, about 4.6 billion years ago, the outer solar nebula contained many icy bodies with the same approximate dimensions as these two. The bodies themselves are thought to have been built up from smaller entities that today would be recognized as the nuclei of comets (comet). Triton is presumably another of these large icy planetesimals (planetesimal), captured into orbit by Neptune in the planet's early history. Chiron, a small body orbiting the Sun between Saturn and Uranus and believed to be a giant comet nucleus, and Phoebe, a moon of Saturn, represent somewhat smaller examples of such objects.Most of these icy planetesimals were incorporated into the cores of the giant planets during their formation. Many others, however, are thought to have remained as the unconsolidated debris that makes up the Kuiper belt—a thick disk-shaped region, flattened toward the plane of the solar system, that lies beyond Neptune's orbit and, significantly, includes the outer part of Pluto's orbit. Billions more icy objects were scattered to the outermost reaches of the solar system during the formation of Uranus and Neptune; they are believed to form the Oort cloud, a huge spherical shell surrounding the solar system at a distance of some 50,000 AU. After hundreds of Kuiper belt objects (KBOs) were directly observed starting in the early 1990s, astronomers came to the conclusion that Pluto and Charon likely are large members of the Kuiper belt and that bodies such as Chiron, Neptune's moon Triton, and a number of other icy moons of the outer planets originated as KBOs. In fact, like Pluto, there is one group of KBOs having highly eccentric orbits inclined to the plane of the solar system and exhibiting the same stabilizing 3:2 orbital resonance with Neptune. In recognition of this affinity, astronomers named this group of objects Plutinos (“little Plutos”).Pluto's status as a solar system memberPrior to the removal of Pluto from the official list of planets, astronomers had never established a rigorous scientific definition of a solar system planet, nor had they agreed on a minimum mass, radius, or mechanism of origin for a body to qualify as one. The traditional “instinctive” distinctions between the larger planetary bodies of the solar system, their moons, and small bodies (small body) such as asteroids and comets were made when their differences had seemed more profound and clear-cut and when the nature of the small bodies as remnant building blocks of the planets was dimly perceived. This early, disjointed conception of the solar system was in some ways analogous to the situation described by the Indian fable of the blind men, each of whom identified a different object after touching a different part of the same elephant. It later became clear that the original groupings of the components of the solar system required reclassification under a set of more-complex, interrelated definitions.If Pluto had been discovered in the context of the Kuiper belt rather than as an isolated entity, it might never have been ranked with the eight planets. Indeed, in the decades after Pluto's discovery, some astronomers continued to question its planetary status in view of its small size, icy composition, and anomalous orbital characteristics. Moreover, about the turn of the 21st century, astronomers observed several KBOs that are each roughly the size of Charon and one, named Eris, that may be slightly larger than Pluto itself. Because Pluto was no longer unique in the outer reaches of the solar system, it became incumbent on astronomers either to admit additional members into the planetary ranks or to exclude Pluto. In 2006 the IAU voted to take the latter course while establishing the category of dwarf planets to recognize the larger, more-massive members of a given population of objects having similar compositions and origins and occupying the same orbital “neighbourhood.” Thus, Pluto, Eris, and Ceres—Ceres, with a diameter of some 940 km (585 miles), is the largest object in the asteroid belt—were designated dwarf planets. In June 2008 the IAU created a subcategory within the dwarf planet category, called plutoids, for all dwarf planets that are farther from the Sun than Neptune—that is, bodies that are large KBOs. Pluto and Eris are plutoids; Ceres, because of its location in the asteroid belt, is not.Tobias Chant OwenAdditional ReadingS.A. Stern and J.

At least four cities and towns in Utah appear to have elected their first female mayors.
Mollie Halterman is set to become Parowan’s first female mayor in its 170 year history. North Logan native Lyndsay Peterson is currently the chair of the city’s planning commission and will be making the transition to mayor.
Nann Worel has spent the past few years on the Park City Council and will move to the seat of Park City Mayor. West Valley City native of 27 years Karen Lang will be stepping up to mayor after spending the last few years on the city’s tree committee and city council.
These four women will begin their mayor positions in January. | <urn:uuid:6892dd47-8364-499f-a706-415004ae5125> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://universe.byu.edu/2021/11/15/multiple-utah-cities-elect-female-mayors/ | 2024-04-13T23:47:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.967027 | 148 |

YEOVIL boss Gary Johnson says he has got a lot of sympathy for brother Steve.
The Glovers manager is urging Weymouth fans to be ‘patient’ with his sibling whose reign at the Wessex
Stadium began last November.
Gary has spoken of his admiration at how quickly the Terras chief overhauled his squad following his appointment.
He told Echosport: “It seems to be that Weymouth are making progress and are definitely on the
right track under Steve, and I’m not just saying that because he’s my brother.
They’ve gone from lower mid-table to virtually the play-offs in a couple of months which is good and shows things are coming together.
“But what has impressed me most is just how quickly Steve managed to overhaul his squad.
“Every new manager wants to impose his own ideas when he takes over but often it takes quite a long time to get all the players you want in and out of the club.
“Steve needed to get rid of a number of high earners who were on long contracts which is a far harder thing to do than simply just getting rid of them.
“He and the Weymouth chairman [Martyn Harrison] deserve a lot of credit for getting it done so quickly and by doing so, have given themselves a chance for the rest of the season.
“What’s important now is for the Weymouth fans to be patient with Steve and the team because it takes time for new players to settle in.
“In a way I liken his situation to mine when I first arrived at Yeovil.
“In the first couple of months I got quite a bit of stick from people who were telling me to go back to Latvia and other things like that.
“But I stuck with my principles, eventually got the people I wanted in, and I’d like to think we are now reaping the rewards.”
He added: “Weymouth are a really good club, who should be playing at a higher level, at least in the Conference National.
“The crowd down there demand success which is made all the more greater because things haven’t gone well in recent years.
“I know ourselves and Weymouth are historical rivals but it would be good for the area for Weymouth to be successful.
“It’s nice to hear that Steve wants to model Weymouth on what we’ve achieved at Yeovil because that’s a compliment
“I’ll certainly do what I can as far as possible to help them succeed, as I have with the loaning of a couple of players recently.
“But that doesn’t mean that just because Steve’s my brother, I’ll always be there for him.
“There will be times when we go for the same player and then he’ll just be a rival manager.” | <urn:uuid:0eb99f5d-640c-48ba-82a0-dbead206e049> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://uptheterras.co.uk/2005/01/22/johnson-on-johnson/ | 2024-04-13T23:29:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.985964 | 635 |
EVERGREEN STREET – EVERGREEN ROAD TURNER’S CROSS AREA OF CORK CITY
It was misty and lighting was dull so the area looked somewhat dull and bleak when I visited
Rocque’s map of Cork of 1759 is the first to show significant housing in the Turners Cross area in the areas that are now Evergreen Street (then Maypole Lane) and Quaker Road (then Graveyard Lane). Previous maps of Cork in 1690 and 1726 show only occasional houses associated with what were then farms on the southern edge of the city. The oldest housing still existing in Turners Cross now dates from the mid 19th century.
I cannot find any information specific to this Marian statue on Evergreen Street in Cork other than it dates from August 1954.
In 1953 Pope Pius ordered a Marian year for 1954, the first in Church history. It was called to commemorate the centenary of the definition of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary. The Marian year, which ran from December 1953 to December 1954, was filled with Marian initiatives, in the areas of Mariology, cultural events, and charity and social gatherings.
If you are not from Ireland you may be unaware of ‘Marian Statues’ and if you are younger than 35 or 40 you may also be unaware of them and even if you pass any of them on a daily basis you may not have given them much thought.
There are about 20 or 30 in Dublin alone and most of them are located on public land in what were working class areas back in the 1950s. One or two are located on private property with the statue at Broadstone Station being one example. I do not know how many are located in Cork city but every time I visit I discover one or two more.
Most were financed and erected ahead of the Marian Year of 1954 when entire communities mobilised to have a statue in their area. If you were female and you were born in 1954 there is a very strong possibility that your name is Marian or some version of that name.
The majority are still well-kept and regularly maintained by a dedicated groups or dedicated individuals but at times it can be difficult to determine who actually maintains them.
There was a Marian Year in 1987 but it had very little impact in Ireland especially when it came to statue building. I lived in Stillorgan, Dublin, from 1960 until 1985 and I was convinced that there was a Marian statue in the area well before 1986 but the Marian Statue has a plaque stating that it was erected in was erected in 1986. | <urn:uuid:f0cc28a5-a178-49eb-a070-3032e75bec5d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://urbanculture.fotonique.com/tag/evergreen-street/ | 2024-04-13T22:12:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.985743 | 532 |
It’s a Wrap! Photos from Artini 2014
About a month ago we posted this entry about Artini’s fifth anniversary event on November 14, listing our Top 7 reasons to attend. Thanks to many of you who did, we had a fantastic time AND raised over $12,000 for arts education programs in Chicago schools! Huge thanks to attendees, sponsors, silent auction donors, our gorgeous venue (Parliament Chicago), to the New Arts Forum (Urban Gateways’ Auxiliary Board) for all their support….and to Alayna Kudalis for the lovely photography we’ve shared with you below! Let’s recap those Top 7 reasons to attend, this time in images from Artini itself:
We definitely were NOT disappointed. From the flashy chandeliers to the swanky booths and the labyrinthine lower level…this image probably speaks for itself! Kudos to Parliament for a great night out.
There’s only ever a good time to be had with our Auxiliary Board, the New Arts Forum. Keep an eye out for brand new events in 2015! Also present at Parliament were Urban Gateways Board of Directors and staff members. (And a variety of new faces, which we love!)
Pictured left: NAF Chair Merideth Lacina (L) and Nikki Jolly (R). Pictured right: Urban Gateways Board member Felicia Graves (L), Ellen Burns (C), and Urban Gateways Director of Development Sherre Cullen (R).
Piel Morena Contemporary Dance (upper) and magician The Spellbinder (lower) are touring artists with Urban Gateways, so we had no doubt they would do a fantastic job. Still, it’s rewarding to see a new room of people witness the wonderful artistry of their performances. They bring this artistry to schools all over Chicago, and we think that Artini attendees got a glimpse of how meaningful these live shows can be.
From a signed Bobby Hall jersey to a whiskey package, a glass-blowing class, and works by Urban Gateways visual artists…this aution really had it all, and guests got seriously competitive. Below, a piece by Urban Gateways teaching artist Jeff Maldonado.
Check out this bar. There were two of those, and Parliament’s Artini cocktail (made specially for this event) was certainly flowing, as were Goose Island beers and a variety of wines from The Noble Grape and Four Corners Tavern Group.
Five Artinis and counting, each one getting progressively more fun. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for next year!
Artini is intended to offer a great time, in support of a great cause. As Urban Gateways Executive Director Eric Delli Bovi said during his brief speech at Artini, he himself learned to escape, cope, and grow through music; many of us have similarly learned that the arts (be it dancing, painting, photography, poetry, etc) offer an outlet for emotions and a mechanism for healing. Many youth in Chicago have no education in the arts and therefore no way to learn how valuable self-expression can be as a tool for getting through the confusing business of being human. We try to change that by giving them access to a high-quality arts education. From there, they can decide which mode of expression is right for them.
Thank you for partying for a cause!

Editor’s Note: In 2020, SunPower announced the completion of the strategic spin-off of its manufacturing division into a separate business named Maxeon Solar Technologies, Ltd. As a result, SunPower has expanded its offerings to drive future growth. The SunPower Equinox® system now offers multiple panel options, including front- and back-contact panels, all of which are responsibly and rigorously quality tested to provide the best energy solution for your home.
This Election Day, California voters will decide whether to pass Proposition 51, a public education facilities bond initiative that would raise $9 billion for K-12 and community college school construction and improvements.
It’s been 10 years since a statewide bond was passed, and schools report having a $2 billion backlog of projects. The funds could be used for much-needed modernization work that would make the state’s aging school buildings more energy efficient.
So, if you’ve ever thought your school should switch to clean solar energy to save money and help the environment, Prop. 51 offers a way to help increase the number of solar schools in California.
If the school bond ballot measure passes, it would raise:
$3 billion for the construction of new school facilities;
$1 billion for charter schools and vocational education facilities;
$3 billion for the modernization of public school facilities; and
$2 billion for acquiring, constructing, renovating and equipping community college facilities.
Schools that modernize their facilities can lower their utility costs by making improvements such as installing solar panels, adding more energy efficient lighting and HVAC systems; and better managing their power use with energy intelligence software.
According to a report on solar for schools by The Solar Foundation, the large, flat rooftops typically found on public and private K-12 school buildings throughout the United States make many of these properties excellent candidates for solar systems. And school parking lots can be put to productive use with solar carports, which provide the added benefit of shaded parking.
The potential savings are significant: It’s estimated that if 72,000 schools in the nation switched to solar, they’d save $2.8 billion over 30 years, according to The Solar Foundation.
Solar school success story
The Mt. Diablo Unified School District’s solar project is one of many SunPower solar school success stories.
Mt. Diablo expects to save an estimated $220 million over 30 years by installing solar across 51 school campuses.
“Not only does our solar project model good environmental stewardship for our students, it will also help generate millions of dollars in funding and cost-savings which are critical for our educational programs in these difficult financial times,” said Steven Lawrence, former superintendent of the Mt. Diablo Unified School District.
Schools that go solar with SunPower get access to our Horizons education program that includes a full suite of curriculum to teach youths and teachers in the classroom and in the field about renewable energy and the science, technology, engineering and math skills required to pursue a career in a field such as solar energy.
How do schools finance solar?
School districts generally hold a local school bond election to fund improvement projects. They then can also apply for federal zero interest matching funding. This keeps a school district’s general fund cash free for educational programs. Learn more in this video of a panel we presented on using low-interest bonds to fund solar projects.
Clean Renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs) are another source of low-cost financing that give bond holders federal tax credits in lieu of a portion of traditional bond interest, resulting in a lower interest rate for the borrower. This allows a school district to raise more money to complete more projects.
Schools can also take advantage of a power purchase agreement, a financial agreement where a developer arranges for the design, permitting, financing and installation of a solar energy system on a customer’s property at little to no cost. The developer sells the power generated to the host customer at a fixed rate over a period of time that is typically lower than the local utility’s retail rate.
If voters approve Proposition 51, school districts will have a new opportunity to fund long overdue improvement projects and help increase the number of solar schools in California.

Darius Rucker has dropped a new single, “Fires Don’t Start Themselves.”
Composed by Dan Isbell, Ben Hayslip and Jacob Rice, the song features a nostalgic ’90s country-inspired production with infectious guitar lines.
“So, let’s drink what’s left of this bottle of wine/ Move a little closer ’til the sparks start flyin’/ Turn the lights down low and pull the Conway off of the shelf/ Then we’ll dance through the kitchen and straight down the hall/ Let my old blue jeans and your sundress fall/ Girl, we’re holding the lighter/ And fires don’t start themselves,” Darius sings in the seductive chorus.
“When I first heard ‘Fires Don’t Start Themselves,’ the hook immediately got me,” Darius recalls. “The beginning of the chorus, ‘Let’s drink what’s left of this’ is classic ’90s country. I love it!”
“Fires Don’t Start Themselves” will be on Darius’ forthcoming album, Carolyn’s Boy.
On Sunday, April 2, Darius will appear on the 2023 CMT Music Awards to perform a duet of “She Talks to Angels” with The Black Crowes.
“I’ve been a fan of The Black Crowes for decades, and I’m grateful that we’ve also become good friends over the years. The first time I heard ‘She Talks to Angels,’ I remember being so moved by the lyrics that I went around Columbia, South Carolina, asking every single bar to play it,” Darius shares.
“I went home that night and put on Bonnie Raitt’s Home Plate, and decided I was going to try to write ‘She Talks to Angels’ for her. ‘Let Her Cry’ was what poured out of me,” he continues. “These guys have been so impactful on my career and I can’t wait to share the CMT stage with them.”
On the tour front, Darius will kick off his Starting Fires Tour on June 15.

When you decide to play slot online, you need to know exactly what to do in order to increase your chances of winning big. There are people who have won a lot of money at online slots and changed their lives forever, but there are also people who lost a lot of money by playing online slots carelessly. The following are some of the things you can do in order to win big at online slots.
First and foremost, you will need to choose your slot carefully. One of the important things you need to understand is that no two slot machines are ever the same. Different slot machines not only come with different themes, soundtracks, symbols and additional features, but they also have different Return to Player (RTP) rates. It is a good idea to go for a game with a high RTP rate, so you should check the RTP percentage at the online casino you are considering before you start playing.
Another thing you should do in order to stand a better chance of winning at slot online is practice with free games. Before you start playing slots for real money, it will be a good idea to try out free slot machines. Not only is this great fun, but is also gives you the opportunity to get to know your game as well as all of its secret quirks. Consider playing a slot with bonus rounds, because this is a great way to hone your skills. It will be a bad idea to start playing slot games with the idea that you will soon know how to win at slots. The best approach is to always start with free games.

You might not think that analytics and information technology go hand-in-hand with a business startup specialising in essential oils, but think again. Those are the underpinnings of Andrea and Tom Wolfe’s business, My Essential Collection.
You see, Tom works in the information technology field while Andrea is part of a hospital analytical team. In fact, it was spreadsheets that led her to launch My Essential Collection. She says, “I enjoy working spreadsheets and started compiling all the information I was learning about essential oils.” What began as a hobby has turned into a family business, one that Andrea hopes to eventually be a full-time affair. “One day this will be our full-time job!” she proclaims, hopefully.
With My Essential Collection, Andrea and Tom Wolfe offer pure and undiluted organic essential oils, carrier oils and various other high-quality products and raw materials. My Essential Collection product are sold via their website, myessentialcollection.com. According to the owners, “We are not a multi-level company, we do not hire outside salespersons or reps.” The Wolfe’s handle the production and distribution of their natural products themselves.
At My Essential Collection, the Wolfe’s produce essential oils in variants such as cinnamon leaf, cassia, cedarwood, vetiver, bergamot, frankincense, hyssop, lavender, lemongrass, and many more. In addition, they make and sell roll-ons, carrier oils, goats milk lotion soap, bath bombs, bath fizz, RAD cream (pain cream) Sleepy Cream, custom blends and more.
When asked how My Essential Collection was born, Andrea Wolfe says, “We’ve been using essential oils for many years for our own holistic needs. I would create products and blends for our family and friends and would get such great reviews and loved the feeling of seeing how happy this made them and myself. I actually had a friend tell me I had to share this talent with everyone and that it wasn’t fair to keep it to myself. So we did it and it’s been amazing!”
Describing their particular niche in the holistic products marketplace, Andrea says “We offer high quality at a low price. We have a purpose behind our products. For example, our bath bombs are for pain relief, relaxation, skin conditions, etc. We also customize orders – our blends, for example – we will make them for whatever the client needs.”
Funding My Essential Collection via her and Tom’s full-time jobs, Andrea says that “I was doing this by myself and then my husband jumped in to help me. We have a lot of fun working and growing this business together.
The key to success? Andrea’s advice is “Love what you sell. I’ve had other businesses and this is one I can truly say I love, so it’s very rewarding.” | <urn:uuid:eaf79173-b3d3-4f94-a6ea-115f56045b4d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://utahstories.com/2018/05/my-essential-collection-love-what-you-sell/ | 2024-04-13T23:22:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.969576 | 630 |
People use automated teller machines (ATM) daily all over the world. But some of these ATMs cause users to make errors that could cost them more than they can bargain for.
Hundreds if not thousands of ATM users forget their credit cards at the ATMs in Argentina. Why? Because most users leave once they get their cash, and many ATMs give users their cash first before they get their credit card back. If users are in a rush or have other concerns on their mind, such as keeping their kids waiting in the car or being late to the movies, they will easily take the money and leave.
ATMs can easily prevent this user error by rearranging the task flow. In Israel, the ATMs give you the credit card first and then the money. They know you won’t leave until you get the money, so they make sure you have done every single step of the task before they leave you satisfied. This simple change in the task flow saved millions of dollars in all the work related to lost credit cards.
The general take away from this is that the task’s success should not depend on the users’ memory. The application flow should lead the user through the essential steps to ensure satisfaction and prevent errors. A more specific insight is that the user tends to perceive the task as done once he achieved his desired goal. Additional steps beyond this point
Additional steps beyond this point are irrelevant, so make sure that the user has done everything they need to do before you give them their result. This prevents users from abandoning their task before it’s complete and ends their task on a high note. | <urn:uuid:33b6198f-b833-4876-bbd3-8c9eb2196f3c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://uxmovement.com/thinking/preventing-user-errors-in-automated-teller-machines/ | 2024-04-13T23:39:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.964755 | 333 |

By Serin Sarsour
As an up-and-coming leader in the business world, Brooklyn College student Jessica Vaivao is starting the foundation of her career on campus. In doing so, she uplifts her peers and communities as president of the National Association of Black Accountants, carrying on the independence and leadership skills she first gained at a young age.
“I had a lot of curiosity,” Vaivao told The Vanguard. “I was told ‘to not try, but instead do,’ and that rings in my head whenever I want to make an impact for my community.”
As president of NABA, Vaivao aims to help underrepresented and marginalized communities at BC make names for themselves in the business field. This passion blossomed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic after Vaivao witnessed first-hand the significant difference between the financial status of Black, indigenous, and people of color communities and that of their white counterparts. This surreal awakening for Vaivao inspired her to get involved in her community and help those in need, starting with a non-profit her friends founded called Bushwick’s Art.
“[…] We essentially donated food to people, had leisure and creativity events to help BIPOC individuals’ mental health needs, and supported BIPOC artists in low-income neighborhoods and assisted in helping them earn something to get by, just to make it easier on them,” said Vaivao, noting that NABA is an extension of the work she participated in during the pandemic.
Many NABA members have gone on to get accepted into internships and jobs working for successful companies and accounting firms, including “the big four”: Deloitte, PwC, EY, and KPMG. However, without Vaivao having the initiative to become club president after COVID-19 had shut the club and everything else down, NABA may not exist today.
“NABA has taught me the importance of not letting the fear of failure control you, and that it’s okay to branch out and break a bubble that had been set from systemic oppression,” Vaivao said. “We’re taught that failure should be avoided. However, failure is a natural thing in life and a learning lesson to be had so it won’t happen again.”
Besides being at the forefront of NABA’s operations, Vaivao is majoring in business administration under management. Vaivao realized early on that she was good at managing and assisting others. In further developing her skills and knowledge of the industry, she actively picks up tips she could apply to her own business and network. Vaivao’s knack and passion for business are rooted in her upbringing with several relatives working in the field, from her grandmother who has been an accountant since 1979 and is now an associate director at UBS, to her uncle being one of the senior managers for BlackRock.
Vaivao even kick-started her own small business in 2020 called Mushi Mu’s Artiso, named after her nickname Mushi, where she mainly sold handmade paintings, pins, bookmarks, and stickers. She created this business as a way to deal with trauma and grow as an individual after escaping from a toxic relationship. As a physical vendor, she traveled around NYC to attend gallery showcases and vendor markets. Since she was able to meet so many different people and make new connections while doing this, she was given the opportunity to become a modeling agency manager and a manager for a non-profit organization. Although her business has been on hiatus since 2022, Vaivao hopes to eventually reestablish it after she graduates with newfound knowledge of the business world.
For 12 years of her life, she attended Catholic school, where she played badminton and did debate for eight years, among other endeavors. Vaivao described her childhood as “fulfilling” despite the bad as she was always doing something.
Now at 20 years old, Vaivao’s main career goal is to become a chief operating officer since assisting a body or company in their operations is her strong suit. Though, she wouldn’t be opposed to pursuing a career in human resources, public affairs, insurance, or consulting.
“I’ll have a good career and I’ll be okay with not living an extravagant lifestyle, I just want a fulfilling life,” she said, noting that she also wants to be a mother and a wife one day, as well as continue to support her community in whatever way she can.
Painting and drawing are some of Vaivao’s favorite hobbies, especially when she is stressed out. She’s the type of person whose mind is always on “go mode” even during calm, quiet moments after painting or drawing something.
“It’s just a nice feeling to organize an excel sheet, or plan my future into steps to create a better financial future for myself,” said Vaivao. “It helps me feel productive and makes me feel like my daydreams are more attainable. If they feel more attainable, I won’t let anything stop me from getting what I want.” | <urn:uuid:32e75c43-d8a4-4a88-ac35-a8b3422f97e6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://vanguard.blog.brooklyn.edu/2023/03/29/bc-spotlight-nabas-jessica-vaivao-a-budding-business-leader/ | 2024-04-13T21:58:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.981755 | 1,097 |

People often opt for dental treatments without checking how much does a full set of veneers costs, which is never a good idea. Given that veneer procedure is one of the most common dental procedures in the world, it is a wiser choice to know whether you get high-quality services or not.
Many dentists recommend single tooth veneer for patients, but often it is necessary to get full sets of veneers (usually six to eight in a set). Although, the number of teeth in a set can go up to 12 depending on each case. The benefit of getting a full veneer set is improving the shape, angle, color, and size of teeth. Not just aesthetic concerns, your dental fixtures will help you chew better as well.
What are Veneers?
What are veneers other than thin shells or sheets of porcelain or composite resin covering the teeth and providing an aesthetically improved smile to the patient? Veneers are permanently bonded with the front side of teeth, so a portion of enamel is sized down for the sticking to last longer. The sizing down of teeth is an irreversible process, so dentists at reputable clinics, such as Dentakay,ften talk about going forward with the treatment with the patient before making any final calls. Visit www.dentakay.com
The most significant difference between a veneer set and crowns, bonding, and implants is that the veneers cover the front portion of your teeth, which is why they need extreme care and can last for 10 =15 years if maintained properly.
Dental Veneers Types
The most apparent dichotomy of dental veneers types boils down to porcelain veneers and composite veneers, as mentioned above. These types are based on the raw materials used to make dental facades.
Porcelain veneers are sturdier in composition, making them harder to stain or corrode. However, compared to composite veneers, they require multiple sittings with your dentist to get things done.
Composite veneers do not require heavy preparation as dentists do for porcelain veneers, although they do not last very long either. They can last anywhere up to 8 years with good hygienic habits, and that is almost half a life as that of a porcelain veneer set.
How Much Do Veneer Sets Cost?
Talking about the types of veneer sets was to set up for what’s to come: how much do veneer sets cost and the factors influencing it. Porcelain veneers come at the highest price range worldwide because they are unarguably the most elevated quality teeth veneers out there. These sets also require the most time and effort to make in a laboratory.
Another reason for their costliness is the number of appointments to install them. Average porcelain set costs between $7,500 – $20,000 worldwide. Please remember that these prices might be lower in areas where the cosmetic industry gets a huge chunk of government grants to flourish medical tourism.
While we are on the topic of porcelain veneers, how can we forget about no-prep veneers? These are essentially porcelain veneers but much more cost-effective. They do not require any tooth preparation ahead of time and are made from cost-effective materials such as thinner ceramics. Their downside, you guessed it, are they have shorter lifespans. They also look less natural than porcelain veneers. No-prep veneers are also called Lumineers, and they fall within the range of $6,500 – $1,600 per set of eight veneers.
It all comes down to composite veneers when it comes to readily affordable teeth veneer options. These veneers are made from the same type of bonding agent which is used for dental fillings, so they take no time at all. You can get them in a single setting. Their downside is that they are more brittle than porcelain or no-prep ones, which means they chip and break more often. A composite veneer set will cost you anywhere from $2,000 – $12,000 on average.
What Is the Cost of Temporary Veneer Sets?
What is the cost of temporary veneer sets? It is a great question if you cannot cover permanent veneers’ cost or are concerned about undergoing a dental procedure. Clip-one and snap-on veneers are some of the most popular temporary veneer sets, but they are made from flimsy plastic or resins. They are incredibly cheaper than regular veneers; you can get a set anywhere between the range of $160 to $2,400. Some might say that these are terrible investments.
Because they are heat-activated, you have to be careful about eating or drinking hot stuff with these on, and it is only the tip of the iceberg.
Factors Influencing the Veneer Set Cost
The factors influencing the veneer set cost can vary a lot, with the slightest change in any one of the factors resulting in the price to shoot by as much as $1,000.
Some of the main factors are listed as follows:
- If you’re purchasing a set of veneers, you may get a discount or bundled rate that’s lower than for when you get a single tooth; however, it may not be the case everywhere.
- The general condition of your teeth: if you have healthy teeth, your cosmetic dentist will proceed right away with the dental veneer placement.
- The experience and expertise of the cosmetic dentist.
We do not suggest that you go for the priciest veneer sets in the market in the name of high-quality, but you should also be aware of suspiciously low-costing procedures. Always do your research before getting any major medical or dental procedure.
In conclusion, if you are thinking about getting your teeth fixed, you cannot ignore higher-quality and better-reviewed clinics out of the equation. The dentists there will be better equipped to deal with patients of any medical history because they have a significant amount of experience over a decade.
Always check if a procedure is over-or under-costing veneer procedure because chances are you will get a better price for an excellent quality if you are willing to search for it. | <urn:uuid:7e4c2dcb-4343-4582-a00c-843f5d9b11c2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://vervetimes.com/how-much-does-a-full-set-of-veneers-cost/ | 2024-04-13T21:54:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.957913 | 1,344 |

Asian-made film and TV productions – and their creators and actors – have been collecting major awards and nominations of late, a welcome signal that Asian American representation has been making positive strides in mainstream media.
And while this representation is essential for Asians and non-Asians alike, as the Korean mom of two American kids, I have found a surprising effect: Shows like “Beef” are helping me connect to my own kids’ experience as second-generation immigrants, living between two cultures.
“Beef,” a Netflix limited series, easily became my favorite show of 2023. It has achieved multiple awards, including Academy Awards and Emmys. Notably, Ali Wong made history as the first Asian actress to win a lead acting Emmy. The series was not only written and directed by Asian Americans but also featured a predominantly Asian American cast.
More importantly, the show revolves around the struggles of Asian immigrants – particularly the second generation.
I moved from Korea to the U.S. in 2007 and my two kids were born and have spent their entire lives in the U.S. As they’ve grown up, I’ve developed a greater interest in the second generations of immigrants. This interest eventually led my research toward diaspora and diaspora identity.
However, I have always tried to approach the issue from the immigrant’s perspective rather than that of the second generation. I didn’t recognize this until I watched “Beef.”
“Beef” vividly portrays the struggle of the second generation of immigrants. The show delves into not only practical aspects of life, such as financial challenges, but also the emotional struggles experienced by the second generation in the U.S. on multiple levels.
For instance, the first generation believes they have been caring for their children just like any other parents would. Conversely, the second generation often feels a responsibility to advocate for and defend their parents, who may still not be as acquainted with the language and culture as they are. They are hardly able to experience being children solely supported by their parents in one direction.
After watching the show, I discussed it with my son, Ayden. He appeared to empathize with the struggles depicted in the show and shared his own writing about some of his second-generation experiences with me. I was surprised to learn that he has been grappling with the challenge of balancing between two different cultures, as he had never mentioned it to me before.
“I have rarely had the chance to learn the intricate cultures and beliefs of my homeland. Consequently, I struggle to connect with native Koreans. Having become accustomed to American manners and norms, I find myself in situations where I am expected to follow Korean traditions, but doing so goes against what I believe to be right.
“Living in America has also limited my opportunities to learn and use my native language, making it more challenging to express my thoughts to family than I would like. There are occasions when I find myself unable to articulate my thoughts accurately, resulting in unintentional miscommunication or even saying something inadvertently hurtful, especially when broaching sensitive topics.”
I recall several awkward moments when my kids behaved very differently from what Koreans expected. For example, my son, who was around 8 years old at that time, shook hands with a friend of my dad in Korea, instead of bowing. Bowing is a gesture that signifies respect toward the elderly, so nobody anticipated a young boy’s handshake. Everyone in the scene froze – and my son still remembers the embarrassing moment even years later.
Looking back, my kids have been grappling with the challenge of fitting into both the Korean community and the U.S. mainstream. Indeed, Ayden recently had an unpleasant experience due to the cultural differences between the two cultures.
“I have been participating in a taekwondo team for over a year, and one of my coaches strictly adhered to Korean traditions and values. He set rules for the team that may appear overly controlling to most American teens, prompting me to express my concerns in a letter. However, as I cannot fluently write in Korean and the coach struggles to read English fluently, I wrote my letter in English. He used Google Translate to interpret it – a tool that has been noted for its occasional challenges in providing reliable translations.
“Apparently, it generated a translation different from my intended message. I never learned the exact interpretation my coach received, but it supposedly transformed my constructive suggestions into perceived insults. My coach, unaware that my intention was to offer suggestions rather than insults, became angry with me. The resulting tension, combined with the cultural divide, led me to leave the team with a sour taste in my mouth.
Upon recognizing the misunderstanding between the coach and Ayden, my family attempted to address the issue. Unfortunately, by the time we intervened, it had already escalated, leading to Ayden’s decision to leave the team.
Ayden wrote: “Pop culture has been shedding light on the struggles of immigrant families in recent times, and I am grateful that people finally can see how immigrants deal with more than just monetary struggle.”
I wholeheartedly welcome the emergence of TV shows like “Beef,” “American born Chinese,” and movies like “Past Lives” and “Joy Rides.” They contribute to increased Asian representation in the media, encouraging the majority of the U.S. to reconsider Asian minority communities. This, in turn, allows Asian Americans to find solace in the representation. They finally can see the struggles they have experienced reflected in the media – AND LEARN, TOO. | <urn:uuid:33bb70e8-43f5-4851-bebb-7f69d53ed8aa> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://visiblemagazine.com/awards-shine-spotlight-on-asian-representation-in-hollywood/ | 2024-04-13T22:21:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.978602 | 1,166 |

The Parameter Is Incorrect Copying Files: How to fix?
The Parameter Is Incorrect Copying Files problem may you have encountered while using Windows computer. Very annoying especially when in hurry condition requires a file to be transferred to flash disk.
In recent times, there are many storage devices, such as hard drive, SSD, external hard drive, USB flash drive, thumb drive, pen drive, SD card and more other removable disks. Suppose that there are some important files saved on your computer, in order to data security, you can choose to copy those files for backup to a USB drive, SD card, or an external hard drive. Or you need to do your work at home, it is necessary to do file copying to another drive and bring it home. Sometimes, you find it is easy to transfer the needful files. However, sometimes you will have a failure when copying files and Windows prompts an error message saying “error copying file or folder. The parameter is incorrect” or “Cannot copy file: The parameter is incorrect“. Look at the figures below.
Once this issue happens to you, you will be wondering: why fail to copy files? How do I fix the parameter is incorrect? Don’t worry. This post will show you some useful ways.
Why The Parameter Is Incorrect Copying Files
When moving a large file to an external hard drive, USB drive or other drives, you probably receive “the parameter is incorrect” error. But if the file is a small file, your device will work well. This is confusing. As a matter of fact, this is because of the limitation of FAT32. As is well known, FAT32 is an old file system which doesn’t support individual file larger than 4GB. Moreover, USB drive adopts FAT32 as a file system by default. Therefore, if error copying file or folder the parameter is incorrect issue appears, it is most likely that your target drive uses FAT32 file system.
When copying a file larger than 4GB, another error may occur showing “the file xxx is too large for the destination file system”. If you have this issue, click this post to learn more.
In order to solve cannot copy the parameter is incorrect issue, you need to convert your drive to NTFS which supports single file larger than 4GB or format your disk partition.
How to Fix Parameter Is Incorrect
- Convert FAT32 to NTFS without Data Loss
When referring the conversion from FAT32 to NTFS, some of you will choose Command Prompt. This tool allows you to do this work by “convert n: /fs:ntfs” command. Sometimes it is easy to finish this conversion, but sometimes you will fail and encounter one error “This drive is dirty and cannot be converted…“.
In this case, we suggest that you should use a piece of third-party software to fix incorrect parameter when copying files. Here MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition is worthy of being recommended. This free partition manager has won many users’ reputations all over the world. And it is very professional and reliable to convert file system from FAT32 to NTFS without losing data. Here take a USB drive as an example.
- After launching MiniTool Partition Wizard, please right-click on your USB drive partition, and select “Convert FAT to NTFS” feature (read more about this software).
- Then in a pop-up window, click “Start” button to begin the process.
- Finally, click “Apply” button to execute this conversion from FAT32 to NTFS.
- Format USB Drive to NTFS
If there are no important files stored on your USB drive, some of you will choose to format it to NTFS. Usually, you can do this work via Windows Explorer, Windows Disk Management or MiniTool Partition Wizard Free Edition.
Perhaps you experience another situation: you copy a small file to your drive but parameter is incorrect issue still appears. This is due to the corrupted partition table, insufficient USB power and no enough disk space.
Hope you can solve your issue effectively. | <urn:uuid:a73da150-9cfb-4696-9de4-c92961fa0906> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://vmancer.com/the-parameter-is-incorrect-copying-files-fix/ | 2024-04-13T21:41:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.899568 | 875 |

Nutella is Offering Alexa and Google Assistant Users Free Samples Via Voice Command
Yesterday, March 5th, was National Pancake Day. To help celebrate the holiday, Nutella announced that Alexa and Google Assistant users can request a free sample using voice commands, while supplies last. Customers must first register a name and address at the Send Me a Sample (SMAS) website, and can then use either the Send Me a Sample Google Assistant action or Alexa skill to say “Send me a sample of Nutella.” The SMAS website information page states that consumers will receive not just one sample of Nutella, but three. Users will receive their sample within 14 days from their order date, while supplies last. Todd Midura, Vice President of Marketing at Nutella North America, Ferrero, commented on the voice assistant promotion,
By teaming up with the groundbreaking Send Me a Sample technology, we can’t wait to introduce even more families to the fun and magic that Nutella brings to the breakfast table.
Send Me a Sample: A New Use Case for Voice Assistants
Send Me a Sample partners with companies to allow consumers using voice assistants to request product samples via voice commands. Consumers need to sign up for a Send Me a Sample account with a name and address in order to be eligible to receive a sample of a product. SMAS is a U.K. based company, and the Nutella samples are some of the company’s first services offered in the U.S. Butterfinger samples are also available in the U.S., while supplies last. Past SMAS partnerships for U.K. residents include Diet Coke Exotic Mango, Kind Protein Bars, and Bailey’s Almande.
Not even a year old, SMAS began offering its services in the summer of 2018. According to the company’s FAQ page, “Send Me a Sample is a completely new innovation in sampling for the voice-activated world. We even have a patent pending: No. US 16/027,431.” Even though SMAS is a young company, the Send Me a Sample Alexa skill has 4,083 user reviews, with a 4.3/5 average star rating. The corresponding Google Assistant action has 193 users with a 3.9/5 average star review.
The use case is a great way to engage with consumers while embracing new technology – who doesn’t want free samples of delicious hazelnut spread? By creating a platform like SMAS, users only have to enter their information one time to receive the benefit of multiple brands. The process becomes seamless for consumers, and incorporating compatibility with multiple exiting voice assistants means SMAS can be a neutral platform where consumers don’t need to worry about pledging loyalty to one voice assistant. | <urn:uuid:5d3c66cc-54f1-4644-afd8-a1a6843dc324> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://voicebot.ai/2019/03/06/nutella-is-offering-alexa-and-google-assistant-users-free-samples-via-voice-command/ | 2024-04-13T23:02:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.922942 | 572 |

How to Start a Sportsbook
A sportsbook is a place where people can bet on sporting events. These betting establishments typically accept bets from individuals who are over the age of 18. They also offer a variety of other wagering options, such as parlays and props. These establishments can be found online or in brick-and-mortar casinos. Some states have legalized these facilities, while others have banned them. Those who are interested in opening their own sportsbook should take the time to research the laws of their state.
The odds for sportsbook bets are set by a head oddsmaker at the sportsbook. This person draws upon a variety of sources to determine the best prices for each event, including computer algorithms, power rankings, and outside consultants. Odds can be displayed in several ways, but the most common are American odds and decimal odds. American odds are based on a $100 bet, while decimal odds are based on a £100 bet.
In order to make money, a sportsbook must be able to balance the number of winning and losing bets. This can be difficult because the amount of money that a sportsbook takes in can vary significantly from one week to the next. However, a sportsbook can minimize its financial risk by using layoff accounts, which are available through most online sportsbook management software vendors.
If you want to write an article for a sportsbook, it is important to do some research before starting. This will help you figure out what keywords are popular and which ones to use. This will improve the search engine optimization of your article and increase the chance that it will be seen by your target audience.
To start a sportsbook, you will need to obtain the proper licenses and permits from your government. This can be a lengthy process, and may involve filling out applications, providing financial information, and conducting background checks. You should also familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations governing sportsbook advertising.
A sportsbook will need to have a large reserve of cash in order to cover all incoming bets. This is especially true when major events occur, such as the Super Bowl or World Cup. In addition, the sportsbook will need to have enough funds to pay out winning bets immediately. If you are unable to meet these requirements, you will need to find another business opportunity.
The sportsbook industry is a highly competitive business, and it is difficult to become profitable without a clear understanding of the market and customer needs. It is also important to choose a reliable platform that will support your operations and provide high-level security measures. While you can build your own sportsbook, it is more practical to purchase a pre-built solution from a sportsbook software provider. This way, you can focus on attracting customers and building your business. | <urn:uuid:f5ceac56-a987-466e-a9ba-7608a4515be7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://walkingmarine.com/how-to-start-a-sportsbook-2/ | 2024-04-13T21:23:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.963971 | 564 |

What do you think is the charm of soccer?
Because it's a team sport, teamwork is more important than anyone else's.
One of the most attractive aspects is the fact that other players have the ability to compensate if someone is not performing at their best.
How do you manage to maintain control over your mindset amidst the ever-changing dynamics of the game, knowing that it can greatly influence your performance?
Never giving up is absolutely essential. Even when things don't go as planned or when faced with a loss, you have to keep pushing forward. That's why I always brainstorm ways to turn the situation around or start from scratch. The moment you start believing you've lost is when everything starts falling apart.
What are your feelings and weaknesses as a player?
I have impressive passing and game coordination skills, and kicking happens to be one of my strengths as well. However, I'm aware of certain physical attributes that I may be lacking in. So, I'm putting in the effort to make up for it and strengthen those areas.
You've been captain a lot. Was there a special reason?
At first glance, my personality may have appeared far from that of a captain. Yet, the directors saw something in me. They placed their trust in me and gave me the opportunity to lead. I worked hard and took much responsibility as possible, and I believe it's through these efforts that they have come to appreciate me.
Please give your honest review after wearing Wavewear.
During my workout sessions, I consistently wore the "Calf Sleeves c2" without taking them off even during intense training sessions. I've seen a lot of results in muscle and physical strength.
What is your future goal?
I want to play for the national team. I also want to play as many games as possible in the league and I'm trying hard to be a player for a long time.

Feds Seize Millions Of Counterfeit Virus Masks
Federal agents swarmed over a warehouse on the east coast this week. They confiscated hundreds of thousands of fake COVID-19 masks. They were made and packaged to look like authentic N95 masks made by 3M. Most were destined for healthcare workers nationwide. So far, the federal agency is not revealing the destination points for the masks. But going by earlier confiscations, there’s a chance some may have been destined for healthcare workers in Michigan. USA Today reported last year about a large shipment of masks destined for Michigan that were confiscated by federal agents. Homeland Security administrators say 3M was in on the enforcement action. It had gotten word about the fake masks being purchased and tipped off Homeland Security investigators.
The most recent confiscation is one of many in recent weeks where the Department of Homeland Security says about 11 million counterfeit N95 respirator masks have been seized. All were destined for the hands, or faces, of hospital workers and first responders.
The N95 mask design is a favorite of frontline workers. It has several variations. It is designed to block 95% of particulate matter. Hence the “95” designation.
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas points to the recent seizures as evidence private industry and government agencies are working to keep America safe. “These seizures illustrate the ongoing efforts of HSI, CBP, and private industry in keeping our communities and medical staff safe and free from counterfeit products..Often, this battle is fought behind the scenes and is unknown to the general public, but you can be assured that the DHS workforce remains firmly committed to protecting the health and safety of our medical workers, the American public, and the integrity of the American economy.”
Government investigators have identified close to 6 thousand customers victimized by the fraudulent mask sales. That includes hospitals and medical care offices in as many as 12 states. All have been notified of the issue and warned not to rely on their counterfeit masks for COVID-19 transmission prevention. | <urn:uuid:746163f1-35f4-4998-8458-0e1204a2f2f4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wbckfm.com/feds-seize-millions-of-counterfeit-virus-masks/ | 2024-04-13T21:22:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.969694 | 414 |
The Federal Pension Service (FPS) plays a vital role in Belgium’s social security system, performing 4 key functions: attributing pension rights, managing pension payments, providing advisory services to citizens and support the government with legislation and processes. Dedicated to maximizing benefits for its beneficiaries and stakeholders, the FPS application landscape is in constant evolution. FPS handles a digital approach that constantly adapts to the changing needs of its citizens and the dynamics of the global tech landscape. Striving for autonomy, self-service and transparency for everyone involved.
The FPS Vision: Shaping a Future-Ready Pension System
As an integral component of the Belgian Social Security Institutions ecosystem, FPS operates with significant autonomy while adhering to clear national objectives. This balance allows FPS to tailor the approach to fulfilling their mission: to determine, pay, inform, advise, and provide government support regarding pensions.
FPS’s core mission includes optimizing pension rights for all, managing substantial monthly pension disbursements, and ensuring timely, accurate payments without tax issues. They also administer the IGO program to financially aid seniors. Additionally, FPS focuses on keeping citizens informed about pensions via mypension.be, a dedicated phone line, and nationwide consultations, while also providing expert advice to policymakers.
FPS achieves its mission through key partnerships with institutions like Sigedis, NISSE, and CBSS, ensuring effective pension management, maximizing citizen benefits, and reinforcing Belgium’s social security system.
“This vision underscores our commitment to key values and drivers: customer orientation, process automation and simplification, and a human-centric organizational approach.” Tuur Bressink, Application Architect SFPD
A Deep Dive into FPS’s Applications
The FPS application landscape is extensive, headlined by mypension.be, a user-friendly portal where citizens can manage and simulate their pensions. Key applications include:
- Theseos: The main pension application, originally for employee pensions.
- Satellite Applications: Emerging applications gradually becoming independent from Theseos.
- PensionPortal and ApSoft: Incorporated from the merger with PDOS for civil servant pension calculations.
- PCP (Pension Communications Platform): Facilitates pension-related communications.
- Specialized Applications: Various tools for specific tasks, integrated post-mergers.
This diverse range of applications shows FPS’s commitment to efficient and adaptable pension management.
Architectural Innovation at FPS: Pioneering a New IT Framework
At the Federal Pension Service (FPS), a broad application landscape and a forward-thinking mentality go hand in hand. However, FPS were facing a set of challenges.
An aging workforce, not fully replaced, and difficulties in attracting and retaining IT talent posed significant resource challenges. Aging applications and legacy systems, some of which were inherited through mergers, were adding to the complexity of the landscape, causing technical debt. The Theseos system, in particular, exemplifies this issue. What started as a solution for employee pensions had grown into a cumbersome monolith with more than 300 modules, making it unwieldy and difficult to manage. This complexity impacted development productivity, as seen in extended feedback cycles where code compilation and CI pipeline processes were notably time-consuming and inefficient.
To tackle its challenges, FPS launched Project Renaissance. A strategic move to shift from a monolithic system architecture to a suite of domain-oriented applications. This transition is designed to improve observability within the distributed IT ecosystem, leading to more efficient and effective service delivery.
The move towards a modular application landscape means that each application now has specific, well-defined responsibilities. In this distributed setup, the ability to gather relevant insights is more crucial than ever, underlining the importance of applied observability.
To enable this, FPS established essential architectural patterns to guide the behavior and interaction of these applications, ensuring a streamlined and cohesive operational environment.
Supporting this new architecture, FPS has rolled out several key platforms:
- Axway API Gateway for API management, ensuring that applications can communicate effectively.
- A Service bus based on Apache Camel (Redhat Fuse) allows for lightweight integration flows when needed.
- A Message bus built on Redhat AMQ caters to use-cases that don’t require immediate feedback.
- A central IAM system, utilizing Redhat SSO (Keycloak), to streamline identity and access management across all applications.
These platforms generate a vast array of logs, events, and metrics. To fully leverage this data, FPS identified the need for an observability stack. The goals for implementing this stack are clear:
- To be proactive in identifying and resolving problems early, which allows FPS to concentrate on adding value.
- To enhance the quality of service provided to the public.
- To implement a ‘Shift Left’ approach—integrating metrics not just in production but also during development, testing, and user acceptance testing (UAT).
Why FPS is Embracing Applied Observability
To manage the substantial data generated by their observability platforms, we assisted FPS in designing and implementing a robust applied observability strategy.
This applied observability strategy marks a shift from traditional, reactive monitoring based on historical data to a proactive engagement with data. Applied Observability (AO) focuses on responding to current information and taking immediate action. Similar to how real-time data navigation apps like Waze operate, proactively addressing issues as they arise. This approach involves ingesting data, analyzing trends, and preempting potential problems.
By focusing on the specific issue of non-targeted and non-actionable information, this approach effectively tackles common IT challenges related to logging and monitoring. By doing so, it avoids situations where crucial alerts are overlooked because they’re lost in a sea of irrelevant data.
“We’re shifting from relying on historical KPIs and moving towards analyzing real-time data, recognizing patterns, and responding to the present. Instead of predicting the future based on the past, we’re equipping our Observability Platform to make decisions in the now. Incorporating AI for decision-making is our next leap in maturity — stay tuned for that evolution.” Matthias De Scheerder, Integration Architect and Managing Partner at Archers.
Observability starts with monitoring individual components, where we gather basic data to understand each element of our system. As we progress, we achieve structured observability, which allows for greater data consolidation, giving us a comprehensive view. Next is causal observability, leveraging a time-series topology to understand the relationships and sequences of events over time. Finally, we advance to proactive observability with AIOps, automating root cause analysis, business impact analysis, and alert correlation for a predictive and preemptive IT strategy. More on that in the following blog.
The aim of applied observability at FPS is multifaceted. It scales productivity and customer value by advancing solutions and product delivery. It pioneers customer engagement with accelerated responses, pursues sustainable technology solutions, and optimizes resilience and operations.
Implementing Applied Observability at SFPD
The implementation of Applied Observability at SFPD was strategically centered on the Archers connectivity framework. This framework served as a critical enabler for embedding the initiative within the organization.
There are three business drivers at the core of the FPS applied observability strategy:
- Job Enablement: Equipping staff with the right tools for their jobs.
- Customer Satisfaction: Ensuring users of services, from middleware to APIs, are satisfied. This extends beyond FPS to the end-users.
- Protecting Investment: Securing the platforms’ integration into the observability framework to ensure that applications are stable en perform well. For instance, if FPS invests in an IAM tool, it’s imperative that the platform remains stable to avoid financial loss.
The vision and strategy of the Federal Pension Service (FPS) are centered around creating an observability framework that extends through every layer of the organization. The approach is comprehensive, starting from the bottom-up, ensuring that service providers are integrated into the solution and process their own events. This enables consumers, the end-users, to monitor services effectively.
“Our initial focus is on the essential infrastructure, network and middleware layers. These are vital for the smooth operation of applications and processes. In 2024, our goal is to strengthen these areas as well as advance to application layers”, Matthias De Scheerder, MP Archers
The team driving this initiative includes IT architects, platform specialists, analysts, and developers, forming an Observability Enabling Team. This team collaborates with service providers – those handling critical organizational functions like network and security – to ensure seamless integration with the observability platform.
Service Providers within the organization, such as the Core Business Infrastructure (CBI) team, Integration team, and specific product teams, are clearly defined and self-organized to deliver their services successfully. They are responsible for implementing observability in their domains, encompassing visualization, alerting, and communicating critical events to consumers.
A centrally managed Enabling Team leads in exploring and adopting innovative observability tools and practices. They provide guidance, establish best practices, and offer coaching across the organization.
Key users are identified at all organizational levels to play a crucial role in achieving observability. The long-term goal is to transition observability responsibilities from the Center of Excellence to these key players, ensuring a sustainable and effective approach.
To support the observability project, this step focuses on validating and establishing a platform architecture. This involves a thorough assessment of the different platform architectures and their landscapes. This assessment provides a clear overview of all platforms and the specific capabilities they serve. Additionally, aligning these architectures with the reference framework helps define clear responsibilities and scopes. This alignment also identifies overlaps, leading to proposals for simplifications in the overall landscape.
For technical insights into application operations, observability tools like Grafana and Prometheus are selected. For the functional insights, Dynatrace is in place to tackle this.
Design and Realization
Design and realization involve leading the exploration and adoption of new observability technologies. with an emphasis on establishing best practices and providing appropriate recommendations. This includes integrating data meaningfully into the platform, correlating data, and creating guidelines around visualization and alerting. Collecting requirements, understanding what data needs to be gathered from different assets, and defining event messages are all part of the process. Once this information is gathered, it is systematically organized and structured in Jira for efficient implementation.
To streamline the Service Delivery Life Cycle (SDLC), a governance checklist will be developed for use by various self-organized Service Providers within the organization. This checklist aims to provide a foundational set of guidelines to ensure successful service delivery.
Additionally, these governance guidelines will facilitate new service providers in integrating with the observability framework and effectively managing new requirements within their services.
Marketing and Evangelization
Marketing and evangelization efforts position observability as a strategic topic for 2024 and beyond. Communicating the ambitions, business drivers, and strategy continuously and making progress visible within the organization is key. Initiatives like technical open spaces are leveraged to bring focus to the project.
The Federal Pension Service’s (FPS) adoption of Applied Observability, steered by the Archers connectivity framework, signifies a major advancement. With a strategic focus on job enablement, customer satisfaction, and investment protection, FPS has revolutionized its service delivery. This positions the organization to adeptly navigate the future of pension services.

CBD stands for cannabidiol, a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in cannabis plants. It’s the second most prevalent active substance derived from the cannabis plant that contains hemp‘s healthful benefits. The most popular strains are Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica. Naturally, CBD can be found in different amounts from various kinds of strains. But unlike THC, CBD causes no psychoactive effects.
According to WHO, in humans, CBD exhibits no effects that indicate abuse or dependence potential. For this reason, CBD became popular for its health benefits. In addition, it piqued the interest of those who prefer to use natural, herbal alternatives for specific conditions.
What Is CBD?

A Quick History Of Cannabis
The plant cannabis has been used around the globe for millennia. It has been used for various conditions that include joint pain, muscle spasms, gout, and even malaria. Its use can be traced back to ancient Chinese texts, around 2900 BC.
In addition, cannabis was found to be indigenous to Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Back then, hemp was an essential crop. People first cultivated cannabis for textile fiber because of its solid and fibrous properties.
The first use of cannabis for medicine was around 2737 BC, where the Chinese Emperor, Sheng Nung drank hemp-infused tea.
In 1533, King Henry VII declared industrial hemp grown by farmers and fined them if they refused to cultivate it. Then in 1619, Virginia settlers made it illegal not to grow hemp.
Then in 1753, Carl Linnaeus classified one species of the hemp plant, which is Cannabis sativa.
The Discovery Of Cannabis
The first discovery of the cannabis species became the stepping stone towards the discovery of the hemp plant’s other strains.
In 1785, a biologist named Jean Baptiste Lamarck proposed two species of the cannabis plant, which are Cannabis indica and Cannabis ruderalis.
Then in 1839, William O’Shaughnessy, an Irish physician, and medical researcher became the early cannabis pioneer. He studied the effects of cannabis that made researchers begin to consider its medical applications. Moreover, O’Shaughnessy explored the primitive effects of cannabis. He described its use as an anesthetic used for medical application.
In 1940, a British scientist, Robert Cahn, first discovered CBD as an individual cannabinoid. A few years later, in 1942, an American chemist, Roger Adams, discovered CBD by isolating CBD and CBN (cannabinol) from the plant. He also made a hypothesis about the side effects of THC.
After a while, an Israeli professor, Raphael Mechoulam, isolated THC. He identified the stereochemistry and properties of both CBD and THC. In other words, Mechoulam and his team studied hemp’s use for epilepsy. In addition, they discovered the euphoric effects associated with the use of marijuana.
The Cannabis Plant Today
The cannabis plant’s benefits have continuously gained the public’s interest. Consequently leading to research & discovery of the endocannabinoid system, a group of neurotransmitters made by the body & receptor sites. These neurotransmitters look similar to cannabinoids (the ones from cannabis).
Presently, hemp is still recognized for its health benefits. However, specific properties remain unknown even after more than a century. Nevertheless, with the help of the advancement of technology and research, we hope to finally break down the properties of the cannabis plant moving forward.
What Is The Difference Between CBD & THC?
Cannabis is a genus of a plant with three different species: sativa, indica, and ruderalis. It produces these two cannabinoids:
THC: a chemical responsible for marijuana’s psychological effects
CBD: a compound found in cannabis known to have mental and physical benefits.
To easily distinguish the difference between these two substances. I’ve created a table below:
Low THC content (<0.3%)
High THC content (>0.3%)
108-120 days growth cycle
60-90 days growth cycle
In a nutshell, CBD takes longer to grow and has the health benefits of cannabis. On the other hand, THC grows faster and contains the psychoactive side effects of the cannabis plant.
What Is The Difference Between Hemp & Marijuana?
Hemp and marijuana are both classifications of cannabis adopted in culture. Hence, they are differentiated by the amount of THC they contain.
Generally, hemp is a term used to classify varieties of cannabis containing 0.3% or less THC. On the other hand, marijuana is a term to classify cannabis plants that contain more THC than CBD, at <0.3%.
According to the Farm Bill, any cannabis plant that contains more than 0.3 percent THC would be considered non-hemp cannabis, which is illegal under federal law. A THC content of more than 0.3% can cause the psychoactive & euphoric effects. Furthermore, states that legalized hemp have a less than 0.3% THC-content standard.
What Does CBD Do In The Body?
Our body has an endocannabinoid system (ECS), a system composed of endocannabinoids. These endocannabinoids are receptors that bind to cannabinoid receptors. Hence, cannabinoids bind to these receptors to produce effects in the body.
For example, if your body feels pain from an injury, it can throw off your body’s homeostasis. Your ECS then starts to help regulate your body to return to its balanced state.
The ECS regulates and balances different body functions such as immune response, appetite and metabolism, memory, sleep, reproduction and fertility, and many more. Overall, these functions all contribute to homeostasis. In other words, the stability of your body.
To sum it up, experts believe that the primary role of the ECS is maintaining the body’s homeostasis.
The Two Types of Cannabinoid Receptors
The ECS has two receptors: CB1 and CB2
CB1: The most abundant receptor found in the central nervous system. It’s located in the brain and throughout the body.
CB2: Typically found in lower levels in the central nervous system. It’s primarily found in the peripheral nervous system, especially in the immune cells and the gastrointestinal system.
So, what do these receptors do? How does it work? Well, THC attaches to CB1 receptors. Afterward, CBD stimulates the receptors so that the body produces its own cannabinoids, known as endocannabinoids.
Endocannabinoids bind to any receptor. In addition, the effects depend on where the receptor is and to which endocannabinoid it binds. In turn, they would regulate the body’s functions by interacting with the brain’s signaling system.
For instance, endocannabinoids might target CB1 receptors in a spinal nerve to relieve pain. In contrast, others might bind to a CB2 receptor in your immune cells. These send signals that your body is experiencing inflammation, a common sign of autoimmune disorders.
Will CBD Get Me High?
CBD and THC are two different substances found in hemp. In other words, CBD does not have the same ability to create a "high" like THC. Additionally, CBD won’t cause a state of euphoria if it’s in its pure form and if it contains less than 0.3% THC.
What Are The Benefits Of CBD?
There is much anecdotal evidence about the health benefits of CBD. Further research is warranted to determine the specific dose to produce its beneficial effects and discover its side effects. CBD is known to help in the following conditions:
According to WHO, CBD is an effective treatment of epilepsy-related Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS). Additionally, FDA approved Epidiolex®, the first-ever cannabis-derived medicine for these conditions. It is a drug containing CBD in a purified form of oil. Patients with conditions that don’t respond to anti-seizure medications take Epidiolex as medication.
One popular use of CBD is alleviating pain and inflammation. This is helpful for those who have osteoarthritis.
A 2017 study (published on NCBI) conducted an animal study about the ability of CBD to reduce pain and inflammation. The researchers found that CBD can be helpful in treating pain associated with osteoarthritis.
Another 2015 study (published on Wiley Online Library) also conducted animal tests using CBD gel to treat inflammation. The results indicate that CBD gel can reduce joint swelling. Therefore relieving pain associated with arthritis.
The use of CBD for anxiety has boosted the interest of many people. Most shops are marketing CBD especially for its benefit in relieving anxiety. Moreover, products for pets are also available to facilitate the same condition.
A 2015 study highlights the use of CBD for potential anxiety disorders. The study concluded that CBD has possible anti-anxiety effects. However, more research is needed to identify the dose required to produce its therapeutic benefits.
A 2014 case series (M.H.N. Chagas, MD, Ph.D., et al.) indicates CBD’s potential in patients with Parkinson’s disease.
In addition, another study (published on Springer Link) suggests that CBD may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of insomnia.
In a recent 2020 study (published on MDPI) The researchers discovered that CBD can inhibit tumor cells. In addition, they found that CBD only acts on the tumor cells. It surprisingly produces milder effects on the tissues in the same area.
Another 2018 study (published on NCBI) suggests that CBD acts synergistically with radiotherapy, resulting in a more significant killing activity to tumor cells in mice.
A 2020 study backs up this research. Again, the results showed a remarkable reduction in the multiplication of cancer cells. The researchers used concentrations ranging from 2.5 to 10 micrograms per mL of CBD.
A 2017 study (published on Oxford Academic) indicates that CBD can help reduce the progression of heart failure associated with hypertension. In addition, it helped improve the survival of their test subjects. Therefore showing its potential as a treatment for cardiac health.
In a 2018 study (published on NCBI), the researchers stated that the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties of CBD help lower some of the risk factors that can cause heart disease.
While a 2017 study (published on PubMed) conducted on healthy human participants. Patients subjected to stressed took a dose of CBD. As a result, they had lowered blood pressure compared to those took a placebo.
According to a study (Leon H. Kircik, MD), CBD can help manage acne because of its natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects.
A 2014 study (published on JCI) suggests that CBD has the potential to be used for acne. It also reduces inflammation and sebum production that leads to acne.
A 2006 study (published on PubMed) states that cannabinoids can inhibit the growth and multiplication of skin cells involved in psoriasis. Therefore, it poses a potential treatment for the said condition.
While another 2019 study proved CBD’s effectiveness when the researchers used CBD ointment without THC. The results indicate the safe and painless alternative for patients with skin orders, including psoriasis. Additionally, no notable irritation or allergies were reported during the period.
For diabetes, a 2006 animal study (published on PubMed) showed results that lowered the risk of diabetes in mice after treatment with CBD.
Another 2005 study (published on Science Direct) demonstrated in rats that CBD can help reduce symptoms of diabetes such as the loss of vision and inflammation.
What is The Entourage Effect?
Entourage effect happens when a mixture of THC, CBD, and its terpenes is consumed to improve the beneficial effects of CBD. Some experts say that the compounds found in cannabis work better in tandem than in isolation.
According to a 2011 study (by Ethan B Ruso), the entourage effect improves the health benefits of hemp. Some examples are anxiety, pain, epilepsy, inflammation, cancer, and more.
A 2018 research (published on Intechopen) found that the other compounds, such as certain terpenes and flavonoids, can help increase CBD’s therapeutic effects.
Is CBD Safe?
Generally, CBD has failed to produce notable effects of abuse potential in human studies.
According to WHO, CBD is well tolerated with a good safety profile. Adverse effects are often the results of drug interactions between CBD and existing medications. Moreover, there is no evidence of recreational use or health-related problems associated with pure CBD.
How To Take CBD?
There’s an array of methods of ingestion of CBD. It has many forms available, which are consumed depending on a person’s preference.
Forms of CBD
An isolate form simply means pure CBD, nothing else. In short, there is no THC present. Generally, this form of CBD has no smell or taste. Moreover, using CBD isolate helps you achieve the effectiveness of CBD without the interference of its other substances.
In addition, CBD isolate usually comes in a crystalline or solid powder. Manufacturers produce it by using various processes to extract all compounds from the cannabis plant. As a result, this leaves a pure CBD in crystal form. Afterward, manufacturers grind the crystal and form it into powders.
A high-quality CBD isolate like DuraCanna Pure Isolate CBD Raw Powder can be taken sublingually. Other methods of consuming it are inhalation, vaping, and ingestion.
One of the most popular forms of CBD available in the market today. CBD oils contain fatty acids, protein, and nutrients. Usually, these oils are extracted from the seeds, flowers, and stalks of the cannabis plant. It uses carrier oils like coconut oil, vegetable glycerin, hemp seed oil, or MTC oil.
In addition, CBD oils like the Unflavored Diamond CBD Oil – 550mg are commonly packaged in a light-resistant dropper bottle. To use CBD oils, you take the oil from the dropper and place a few drops under your tongue.
You can also mix it in your food or beverage to mask its oily aftertaste. Its effects are achievable after 1-2 hours. You can also ingest oils by vaping for faster onset of effects.
In addition, you can either consume or vape the flowers. However, you can’t eat the flowers raw. You need to heat it ( for decarboxylation) or cook it to activate the cannabinoids present in the plant.
You can also smoke the buds for a rapid onset of effects, typically lasting for 30-60 minutes.
The fastest way of achieving the effects of CBD is by administering them into your lungs. Vaping is the most popular way of taking CBD. You can use vaporized oil such as the Chill Plus Delta-8 Vape Cartridge – Pineapple Express – 900mg and vape CBD using vaping pens or e-cigarettes.
The downside of vaping is that it may cause lung irritation.
Tinctures are any medications dissolved in alcohol. But it’s not the same as CBD oil. CBD tinctures often contain CBD in 60-70% alcohol. In addition, the potency of this form is low since its formulation contains other substances added to enhance its flavor. It may also include supplements, vitamins, and herbal extracts.
The advantage of the CBD tincture is its long shelf life. It can last up to 3-5 years because of its alcohol content that acts as its preservative. In addition, you can consume CBD tinctures such as the Connoisseur CBD Tincture Lifter 500mg directly or by mixing it in your food.
CBD Pills And Capsules
First, let’s differentiate a pill from a capsule. Pills are powdered medications compressed into a round solid shape.
Edibles are a flavorful way of taking hemp. However, the onset of effects is longer because the product needs to be eaten. It has to pass through the digestive system. Therefore it will take after 1 to 2 hours to take effect but will last for about 4 to 6 hours. You can read more about this in our article: Why Does It Take So Long for Edibles to Kick In?
These are in the form of teas, coffee, sodas, or any drink infused with CBD. The drinks are usually in the form of loose powders dissolved in water. There are also ready-to-drink sodas available.
In addition, CBD drinks have added ingredients like herbal extracts, vitamins, and flavoring to enhance palatability and give a supplement to the body. If you’re a tea lover, I have written an article about What is CBD Tea Good For?which offers a great insight about CBD teas’ benefits to the body.
Check the Source: The CBD used to manufacture the product must be grown following the agricultural guidelines. Therefore, it’s always best to look for established companies that source their hemp plants from a good environment.
Look for a certificate of analysis/ Check the THC content. Reputable shops often show the laboratory results of their products. Lab reports also ensure that the product you’re using conforms to the less than 0.3% THC standard.
Check the product label. Important details should be present in the product labels. This is to inform the customers about the product’s properties. A properly labeled product must contain the following:
Name of the product
Amount of CBD in the product/ per dosing
Name of the manufacturer or distributor
List of ingredients
Net weight/ volume
Before using CBD, decide on what form you want and determine the effects you want to achieve. If you have a medical condition, always consult your doctor first to determine if CBD is right for you.
What Is The Correct Dosage Of CBD?
There is no specific dosage for CBD. The FDA doesn’t currently regulate CBD, and there is no official recommended dosage available. Presently, the correct dosage varies for each individual.
In addition, it always depends on the person’s weight, gender, tolerance, and condition. Another factor to consider is the concentration of CBD in the product, as this can also affect the dose you need.
You can start by beginning with a small dose, observe its effect on your body, then increase the amount gradually until you achieve its desired effect. If you already own a CBD product, you can always check the label for the manufacturer’s recommended dosage.
Will CBD Show Positive On A Drug Test?
No, CBD will not show up in a drug test. Moreover, if you’re using full-spectrum or isolate forms of CBD. However, taking CBD products that contain trace amounts of THC can make you fail a drug test. You can prevent this from happening by purchasing pure CBD products from reputable sources.
What Are The Side Effects Of CBD?
A 2006 study (published on PubMed) suggests that using cannabinoids, such as CBD and THC, can inhibit saliva production. Thus, leading to dry mouth.
Diarrhea is expected if you take CBD in excessive doses. However, this side-effect depends on an individual’s tolerance.
Lowered Blood Pressure
CBD is recognized as a potential aid for those with heart conditions. It is also linked to reducing hypertensive cases by lowering blood pressure.
The effects of CBD in appetite varies. For instance, an effect of a loss or a gain in appetite is a common experience by some people. This side effect may vary between people.
A drug interaction can happen when you take CBD with grapefruit juice and warfarin. This can inhibit the effects of the medication you’re using. So if you’re taking prescription medicines and plan to try CBD, always consult your doctor first to avoid such outcomes.
Is CBD Legal?
The legality of CBD depends on what state you live in. Therefore, you need to check first if CBD is legal in your area. Additionally, hemp-derived CBD products that contain less than 0.3 percent THC are permitted on the federal level but are still illegal under some state laws.
Moreover, FDA notes that hemp plants are legal under the Farm Bill as long as they contain less than 0.3% THC.
Who Can Use CBD?
Generally, you can try CBD if you want to benefit from its healthful effects, such as relief from anxiety and pain, mental focus improvement, and sleep aid.
Children who have seizures associated with Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome can use the FDA-approved drug form of CBD, Epidiolex, the first and only FDA-approved prescription CBD.
In addition, some individuals with certain medical conditions can also use CBD to help improve the effects of the medication. However, this is recommended only with the approval of their doctors.
Some pets can also use CBD. Several anecdotal benefits are claiming CBD has helped their dog’s osteoarthritis, pain management and cancer. Therefore improving the dog’s quality of life. Although its effects sound promising, consulting a veterinarian first is best to ensure its safety. Further studies are still needed to prove CBD’s therapeutic effects in dogs.
If you want to find out about the effects of CBD on dogs, you should check out my other post: "Is CBD Good For Dogs?"
CBD is a fantastic compound that provides a lot of benefits, even way back in 2000BC. Although it has been around for many years, there’s still a lot to learn about its properties. Anecdotal reviews have encouraged researchers to conduct preclinical studies to discover more about how CBD works and its potential use for therapy.
The advancement of technology and people’s interest in CBD is growing. We hope that it could lead to discoveries that can fully benefit individuals. Especially those who have certain medical conditions to improve their quality of life.

DashFight Rankings Explained (And How You as a Player Can Benefit From Them)
3 min read
Ever since DashFight launched, our goal has been to be the all-encompassing all-in-one hub for fighting games. And since we’ve been providing tournament coverage right from the beginning, we thought it would be a good idea to tie a ranking system to it. We use it to define a player’s performance level across a calendar year — the better any given player does, the higher they get.
Let’s explain our methodology first.
Right now, the DF Rankings are sorted by years and regions, covering the range from 2020 to 2024, depending on the game and its competitive scene. We’re always trying to refine them and make them more accurate, but we’re limited by the games’ competitive scenes. We also can’t track beyond 2020, as DashFight simply didn’t exist back then.
DF points define a player’s place in our ranking. We give points based on two things:
- The tournament’s tier.
- The player’s individual placements across the year.
To assign tournament tiers, we take into account tournament formats, their local/regional/global status, number of participants, prestige, and more. We have also consulted with pro players and revised our results according to their feedback. So, DashFight’s tier list for tournaments goes like this:
- Tier 1 — Global
- Tier 1 — Regional
- Tier 1 — National
- Tier 2 — Global
- Tier 2 — Regional
- Tier 2 — National
The players are then awarded points based on their tournament placements, adjusted to the tier. We looked at the traditional sports approach to point distribution and used it as an example. You can see the result in the table:
As we mentioned before, we dig into players’ past performances for our rankings. Big tournaments carry a lot of weight and grant the most points, like Evo top placements and high Tekken World Tour standings. The DF Rankings only show the top 100 players for any given game. These rankings are reset after each competitive season, so if you didn’t succeed in showing your prowess this year, there’s always the next one.
A player accumulates more points with each new victory. Participants in both local and international tournaments make it to the ranking. Previous years have shown us that any potential skew towards the players winning lots of lower-tier events just doesn’t happen.
How players can benefit from the DF Rankings
Many modern-day fighting games have pro tours associated with them, but those usually only track the official events and not much else. The DF Rankings go beyond that, tracking most of the high-level events in any given year. If a game’s circuit has many events, our tops could look similar, but any title with more stand-alone tournaments shows much bigger sway. As a player, you can always benefit from knowing where you stand compared to your fellow competitors at any given point or even just casually dunking on naysayers who think you didn’t do as well as you actually did:
I'd make fun of you for being wrong, but instead I'll take the opportunity to show she's actually top 5 in NA. pic.twitter.com/EcNQ315Aen
— FUG Danielle Fox (@anddaniellesaid) March 22, 2023
The best part of the DashFight ranking is that it doesn’t need to be manually updated, so there’s no room for human error. All these calculations are baked into the DashFight system, and the rankings are automatically updated as soon as the covered tournament is over.
We continually strive to improve our rankings, expand the scope of what’s covered, and provide even more benefits to the players, such as their matchup charts and win rates. If you ever have any questions about our systems, feel free to reach out! | <urn:uuid:d732e0ed-bfa8-45d7-a2f8-1d060ebb027e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://weplayholding.com/blog/dashfight-rankings-explained-and-how-you-as-a-player-can-benefit-from-them/ | 2024-04-13T22:47:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.943705 | 843 |
In the realm of structural biology, advancements in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) have revolutionized understanding of biological molecules and cellular structures at the atomic level.
The director of the Structural Biology / Cryo-Electron Microscopy Core at The Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology is Anjelique Sawh-Gopal, who arrived here in July from a previous post at the New York Structural Biology Center. Sawh-Gopal had served as research associate at the center, which was founded by a consortium of nine research institutions. She helped scientists from around the nation discover new molecular structures.
Sawh-Gopal says her top goals here are to make sure the institute’s impressive Jeol CryoARM300 microscope is performing at its best, and is available to researchers when they need to use it, enabling many more discoveries. Since arriving, Sawh-Gopal has built a new Structural Biology / Cryo-EM Core web page, created a system for billing, and worked with the microscope’s manufacturer to ensure the instrument is upgraded to the latest standards.
Sawh-Gopal offered these tips for labs that would like to use the microscope for their next structural study:
- Make sure you have the supplies necessary for your sample preparation ahead of time. This includes purchasing the grids that are to be frozen and loaded into the microscope. It also includes making a plan to freeze the sample. Devices called plunge freezers are required to immerse samples into a bath of liquid ethane. Two labs on campus currently have plunge freezers: Tina Izard, Ph.D., and Kirill Martemyanov, Ph.D..
- Make arrangements with UFIT in advance for data storage and transfer through Globus. You’ll need at least 3 terabytes for your imaging efforts.
- Have a designated person in the lab trained to use data processing software such as cryoSPARC or RELION.
Sawh-Gopal said her journey into the world of structural biology began during her undergraduate pre-med studies at City University of New York, where she found a passion for unraveling the mysteries of life at a molecular level. When doctors would prescribe a medication, she wanted to understand why – what were the cellular mechanisms? She pursued a master’s degree in biology at City College of New York, where her thesis was on ultra structures of the visual cortex. Her thesis work required her to spend long hours at the New York Structural Biology Center. Eventually, it turned into a job.
“Every microscope that came my way, I took the time to learn”, she said. “On campus I left knowing how to operate pretty much every piece of microscope equipment.”
It was seeing the technology advance year after year, the resolutions of the molecules imaged becoming smaller and smaller, that made her excited to work in the structural biology field.
“I think it’s amazing that we can even see a protein,” Sawh-Gopal said. “How they bind to other things, how they form these complexes? That’s constantly astonishing me.”
So far, she’s pulled images from the Jeol CryoARM300 that approaches 2 angstroms in resolution. An angstrom is one ten-billionth of a meter. For an idea of how small that is, understand it would take about one million angstroms to cross the width of a human hair.
In addition to managing the Cryo-EM facility, Sawh-Gopal said she can help researchers schedule access to the institute’s X-Ray Crystallography equipment, which is an efficient way to gain structural information about molecules, so long as they are amenable to crystallization.
Beyond assisting researchers, she enjoys mentoring and nurturing the next generation of scientists. She says her door is always open to students and trainees with questions. Troubleshooting technical challenges is a part of the job she loves. She recalled one project that involved light-sensitive proteins. The samples kept clumping, so they tried making their sample in completely dark conditions, to no avail. They eventually found that working in red light solved that problem.
“I like when things turn out well, especially if the user has been struggling with their project. When you get something to work, it just feels amazing.” | <urn:uuid:0d505d1d-6962-4a05-9828-99b82f843df2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wertheim.scripps.ufl.edu/2024/01/12/meet-the-cryo-em-core-director-anjelique-sawh-gopal/ | 2024-04-13T22:27:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.963126 | 925 |

We explain what Christmas is and what is the origin of this famous celebration. In addition, how Christmas is considered today.
The word Christmas comes from the Latin meaning “birth” and refers to the arrival of the son of God, Jesus Christ , to the underworld.
On Christmas day a party is celebrated in his name, on the twenty-fifth day of December, however, it is not a general rule , it counts only for some religions and churches such as Protestants, Catholics, Anglicans and some Orthodox (a part of the churches Orthodox who do not have the same calendar as the previous ones, celebrate their feast on January 7).
Jesus of Nazareth is the name of the historical character, that is, the name by which he is recognized in the science of history. Jesus, Christ or Jesus Christ is the central figure of the Christian religion that greatly influences Western culture .
This character was a Jewish prophet or preacher who lived in the areas of Judea and Galilee , for his ideas and for the power of his statements he was crucified in Jerusalem around the age of thirty. Christians consider him the son of God and the Messiah.
According to tradition , he was sentenced to scourge and crucifixion under the government of Pontius Pilate. These facts are narrated in the gospel as “passion.” His suffering and death along with the doctrines of salvation and atonement (removal of guilt or a sin committed through a third party, currently a priest where the guilty person is acquitted of the contained penalty) are the fundamental pillars of this theology . Here it is understood that this character died on the cross to save humanity from death and make people’s souls access the “Kingdom of Heaven” in a sacrifice or a payment that should be made to God.
According to the myth and writings of one of the gospels, Mary and her husband Joseph lived in Bethlehem a Palestinian city , located south of Jerusalem. An angel tells Joseph that his wife is pregnant by the Holy Spirit and that her son will be the Messiah that the Jews expect.
However, another gospel is more specific about the story, narrating that the spouses live in the city of Galilee of Nazareth, located north of Israel, between the Mediterranean Sea, the Sea of Galilee and the Jezreel Valley and simply go to the city of Bethlehem for a census , since Joseph was originally from the place. Here also a small difference, the news of pregnancy according to this version is recited by the angel Gabriel to Mary in “The Annunciation.”
As for the current party, it implies several traditions. A large banquet is usually held at a dinner that takes place on December 24, as expected until midnight, in other words, birth. A tree is armed and decorated, people sing songs according to the date. called Christmas carols and cribs or nativity scenes are built, which means creating models of Bethlehem, the night that some wise men leave the baby Jesus gifts for being born and go to the stable where the family is reunited.
At present, Christmas has exceeded the limits of religion itself and is not linked to Christianity. The current symbol is that of Santa Claus, or also known as Santa Claus or Saint Nicholas. This figure was based and inspired by a Greek bishop who gave children toys at midnight on December 25 . As it was well mentioned, this celebration is not linked to religious belief, since even atheists often perform the celebration or also those who do not practice religion and simply enjoy food, reunion with loved ones, the Christmas tree and gifts.
The market industry pushed middle-class families to spend a full salary or much of it to buy decoration and gifts for Christmas Eve . He made it a necessity, transforming this holiday date into a materialist. However, it cannot be said that the spirit of belief is non-existent, since the children began to have the central role, it is they who hold the belief in Santa Claus and their family is the one who continues to promote this spirit year after year. Christmas.
Nowadays, this holiday is associated with time to express the feeling of peace , love , sincerity , joy, communication with other people, of singing, also of dancing , of making positive decisions, but also of forgiving and forgetting, to be united visiting those who love each other. It became a time of reconciliation with loved ones and self-awareness, the gift may represent something material but even the simplest has value. | <urn:uuid:bfca3aba-542e-4437-8679-35129d3031c7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://whatmaster.com/christmas/ | 2024-04-13T23:13:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.97858 | 909 |

Colin Firth will no longer be lending his voice to Paddington Bear in the forthcoming big-screen adventure, leaving producers with something of a headache ahead of the film’s proposed release date.
Firth explained to Entertainment Weekly that, “after a period of denial, we’ve chosen ‘conscious uncoupling'”, in reference to Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow’s recent separation.
“It’s been bittersweet to see this delightful creature take shape and come to the sad realisation that he simply doesn’t have my voice,” continues Firth.
“I’ve had the joy of seeing most of the film and it’s going to be quite wonderful. I still feel rather protective of this bear and I’m pestering them all with suggestions for finding a voice worthy of him.”
It’s unusual for a voice actor to drop out at such a late stage, leaving the studio in something of a scramble to find someone to re-record Firth’s dialogue in time for the film to make its release date.
With that in mind, expect a replacement to be announced sooner rather than later.

With more than 100 public officials arrested in the past decade, many think New Jersey is the most corrupt state in the nation.
So you may be surprised that a months-long investigation by the Center for Public Integrity says the Garden State has the best laws and regulations to prevent corruption.
No state got an A, but New Jersey’s B+ is the best score.
That top grade means years of toil were worth it, said Heather Taylor, of the Citizens Campaign, a good government group.
“Over the last 10 years we’ve seen significant government reform at all levels of government,” Taylor said. “The Legislature put in a series of reforms that really created strong conflict of interest rules, public disclosure and anti-nepotism rules to really give confidence back to the voters that New Jersey is operating property.”
In recent years, Newark Mayor Sharpe James, Camden Mayor Milton Milan and state Sen. Wayne Bryant, to name a few, have gone to federal prison as the U.S. Attorney’s office racked up conviction after conviction.
To counteract that climate of corruption, state lawmakers have passed several reforms including banning politicians from holding multiple elected offices and restricting political donations by government contractors — the “pay to play” law.
New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission executive director Jeff Brindle doesn’t believe New Jersey is more corrupt than many other states. He says there’s just been increased attention because of all the efforts to deal with it.
“Any contribution particularly on the state level that is over $300, that would disqualify individuals from receiving a public contract,” Brindle said. “So that really kind of eliminates the whole idea of a quid pro quo for a contribution for a contract.”
Despite the progress new Jersey has made, advocates for increased government transparency say there’s more to be done.
“People can give to PACs,” points out former state Sen. Bill Schluter, now the vice chairman of the State Ethics Commission. “People can give directly to candidates and it’s not covered by ‘pay to play.’ And there are kinds of government decisions that are made that are not subject to pay to play, zoning decisions and things like that.”
Schluter said he’d like to require lobbyists to file reports connecting the legislation they try to sway to the information they already disclose on who is paying them.
“It should be noted because these people, lobbyists, are very influential. They’re big campaign contributors and they’re very influential on the political scene,” he said.
New Jersey scored well because of its Open Public Records Act, but John Paff said that law doesn’t go far enough. Paff, the chairman of New Jersey Libertarian Party’s open government advocacy project, said he’s filed hundreds of requests for information under OPRA.
Paff said there are too many exemptions. And even though a citizen can appeal when denied access to a record, he said the Government Records Council moves far too slowly.
“It’s taking them like 18 months or two years to adjudicate a complaint,” Paff said. “So that’s an issue because by the time you get the record, even if you prevail, a lot of times whatever it is that you were trying to prove in the first place or whatever case you were trying to make has expired and no longer has any relevance.”
Enforcement is another issue
The Citizens Campaign’s Taylor said New Jersey could improve its score by enforcing its 30-year-old Open Public Meetings Act.
“We should really be looking at how we can make sure that local government bodies are abiding by the open public meetings law,” Taylor said. “In today’s age, people can send emails, they can meet in secret, so it’s really important to bring that up to date.”
Taylor also said more transparency is needed on how local governments spend their money
“There’s a lot of towns that don’t even have websites, that aren’t tracking what their budgets are, what their vouchers are, what their bills are,” she said. “So we really need to just embrace the 21st century and use the Internet to keep citizens informed and engaged. Then they themselves can be better watchdogs in their local community.”
Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg, D-Bergen, who has sponsored legislation to update OPRA and the Opens Public Meetings Act, agrees there is more to be done to improve government ethics and transparency.
So, even the state at the head of the class has a little homework still to do. | <urn:uuid:bd98a7be-2187-4a34-ac84-622b2f101ab0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://whyy.org/articles/reforms-help-boost-nj-to-higher-ethical-ground/ | 2024-04-13T22:49:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.971292 | 1,005 |
Coroner: Leader of Large Organic Food Scheme Dies by Suicide
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A coroner says a Missouri man blamed for running the largest organic food fraud scheme in U.S. history has died by suicide, days after he was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison.
Livingston County Coroner Scott Lindley on Tuesday confirmed the death of Randy Constant in Chillicothe, Missouri. He said Constant died from "a self-inflicted situation" and said more details would be released soon.
A federal judge sentenced Constant to 122 months in prison at a hearing on Friday for leading what prosecutors dubbed the "field of schemes fraud." Constant was planning to report to prison in coming weeks after the Bureau of Prisons decided where to place him.
Prosecutors say that Constant falsely marketed non-organic corn and soybeans certified organic on a massive scale from 2010 to 2017. | <urn:uuid:63257ddf-7f39-4951-8ea1-03217cb0c9db> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wibx950.com/coroner-leader-of-large-organic-food-scheme-dies-by-suicide/ | 2024-04-13T21:43:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.964296 | 183 |
"Black And Blue" is a fast-pace crime thriller about a rookie cop (Harris) who inadvertently captures the murder of a young drug dealer on her body cam. After realizing that the murder was committed by corrupt cops, she teams up with the one person from her community who is willing to help her (Gibson), as she tries to escape the criminals out for revenge and the police who are desperate to destroy the incriminating footage. (Gary Reber)
Special features include five deleted scenes (HD 04:46), the featurettes "Line Of Fire" (HD 04:02) and "Be The Change In The Big Easy" (HD 03:44), upfront previews and a digital code.
The 2.39:1 1080p AVC picture, reviewed on a Sony Bravia Z9D 4K Ultra HD HDR display, upconverted to 2160p with greater resolution and luminance, was photographed digitally in anamorphic Hawk Scope using the Sony CineAlta VENICE camera system and sourced from a 2K master Digital Intermediate format. The picture quality is excellent and the imaging is extremely natural and realistic. Color fidelity is superb with accurate hues and saturation. As in real life, hues are founded in urbanist tones and blue cop uniforms. Fleshtones are natural throughout. Contrast is excellent, with deep blacks and revealing shadow delineation. Highlights are effectively captured in the well-crafted cinematography. Resolution is revealing of fine detail in facial features, including complexions, skin pores, lines, beards, clothing and object texture. This is a really great-looking and naturally imaged presentation that is engaging and satisfying throughout. (Gary Reber)
The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1-channel soundtrack is dynamic with deep, often powerful, deep bass extension to sub-25 Hz frequencies. The action heats up and builds with intensity with powerful directionalized sound effects, such as screeching cars, crashes, intense gunfire. Atmospherics enhance the realism of the community's urban environment. The orchestral score effectively complements the stressful elements of the story. The music extends wide and deep across the soundstage and extends to the surrounds. The spatial layering of the music is effective and is virtually continuous with bursts of intensity and deep bass energy. Dialogue is intelligible throughout with excellent spatial integration. This is a dynamically intense and effectively directionalized holosonic® soundfield experience.

Botswana has a comprehensive legislative framework on wildlife. The main law governing wildlife conservation is the Wildlife Conservation and National Parks Act of 1992. Prior to the enactment of the Wildlife Conservation and National Parks Act, wildlife conservation and Management of National parks was addressed under two different laws. These are the Fauna Conservation Act (repealed) of 1961 and the National Parks Act (repealed) of 1967. The preamble to the Wildlife Conservation and National Parks Act states that the intentions for its enactment are to make further and better provision for the conservation and management of the wildlife of Botswana, to give effect to CITES and any other international convention for the protection of fauna and flora to which Botswana is a party and to provide for the establishment, control and management of national parks and game reserves.
The Wildlife Conservation and National Parks Act gives the Minister power to give force and effect to the provisions of the Act and for its better administration through enactment of regulations. Some of the key subsidiary legislation for the protection of wildlife is the Wildlife Conservation (Possession and Ownership of Elephant Tusks or Ivory) Regulations, the Wildlife Conservation and National Parks (Hunting and Licensing) Regulations, the Wildlife Conservation and National Parks (Cheetahs) (Killing Suspension) Order and the Wildlife Conservation and National) Parks (Lions) (Killing Restrictions) Order.
The Possession and Ownership of Elephant Tusks or Ivory Regulations were enacted in 1999. The Regulations provide for the procedure to be followed on recovery of elephant tusks and seeks to regulate the transfer and ownership of ivory. There are also provisions for registration of ivory and ivory ownership certificates.
The Hunting and Licensing Regulations were enacted in 2001 to regulate hunting of wildlife in Botswana. They provide for the procedure of applying for a hunting license, the issuing authority of the hunting license and gives penalties for persons who contravene its provisions. There are also provisions for the methods of hunting that are prohibited. The regulations provide for procedures for import, export and transit of game animals and their trophies and licensing of dealers in wildlife trophies. There are specific provisions for delivery, transfer and ownership of ivory.
The Cheetahs Killing Suspension Order was passed in 2005 to protect cheetahs by banning their killing for any purpose. The Order outlaws the killing of cheetahs even in cases of human wildlife conflict. Persons who come into conflict with cheetahs are required to report to the nearest wildlife office as opposed to killing them. Similarly, the Lions Killing Restrictions Order was enacted in 2005 to protect lions. The Order also protects the killing of lions in cases of human wildlife conflict. It provides for the circumstances under which a lion may be killed in such cases. Penalties are provided for any person who kills a lion in contravention of the Order. The Order shifts the burden of proof where a lion is killed to the person killing the lion to demonstrate that he could not avoid killing it. | <urn:uuid:02d91af0-eea5-4e92-aa2c-c1c74061ce0f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wildlifelawafrica.com/2018/11/19/introduction-to-botswanas-wildlife-legislation/ | 2024-04-13T22:21:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.946718 | 600 |
The clients for this project knew what they wanted to achieve- a state of the art coffee roastery in lower Queen Anne with a small cafe in the front to create a coffee hub for the local community. As their second location in Seattle, we understood the need to elevate the aesthetics while maintaining brand consistency. Sleek, nordic inspired finishes including ash wood, dark stone, and blue tiles were incorporated to create a distinctly Danish coffee shop. They are now routinely packed with coffee and pastry lovers, and patrons frequently spill out to their chic elevated sidewalk cafe to sip house roasted coffee and enjoy views of the Space Needle.
The roastery was such a success that we’re now collaborating on their next adventure- a jewel box cafe in Dexter Yards.

How to Set Default Shut Down Windows Dialog Action with Group Policy in Windows 10
In Windows Vista, Microsoft changed the way you shut down Windows. They made the classic Shutdown Windows dialog less prominent. Instead, they implemented a dropdown menu for the shutdown button in the Start menu. Although Windows 10 comes with a lot of ways to shutdown your PC, the classic shutdown dialog is accessible only with the help of a hotkey. Windows 10 does not provide any way to change the default Shutdown command in the classic Shutdown dialog. | <urn:uuid:58d8f842-fb21-437d-a50c-6fafa74a36e1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://winaero.com/tag/shutdown-action/?amp | 2024-04-13T22:34:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.82465 | 105 |

Today Is Austin 3:16 Day…Celebrate Accordingly
Today is a very special day. On this day every year, we get to honor a global icon and national treasure, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
It doesn't matter if you are a fan of WWE or not, when you hear the name "Stone Cold Steve Austin", you know exactly who that is. The beer-drinking, a$$ kicking, redneck from Texas that captivated audiences in the late 90s to become one of the most iconic and influential superstars in WWE history. And it all started with one phrase.
Austin 3:16 Is Born
Stone Cold Steve Austin was a superstar on the rise in the WWE in 1996 when he won the King of the Ring tournament to solidify himself as a top star. However, it was what he said after winning that instantly boosted his popularity. If you're a fan, you know the speech by heart, but if you're not sure, here's a little refresher...
That moment there changed everything. Austin 3:16 was born and the world would bear witness to some of the most iconic moments in wrestling history by the TOUGHEST S.O.B in WWE history.
Austin 3:16 Day
In recent years, fans began to celebrate Stone Cold Steve Austin on March 16th each year. Why? Because of the date itself (3-16). Since then, everyone has gotten in on the fun from the WWE, to the man himself. It's become one of those random national holidays that you hear about on social media like National Mac & Cheese Day or National Best Friend Day. Finally, a random holiday that I will be proud to celebrate! There's no better day to crack open some cold beers (WHAT?!), give someone a two-finger salute (WHAT?!), and give that boss of yours a Stone Cold Stunner (WHAT?!)!
So since it's Austin 3:16 Day, you should celebrate accordingly. And in the final words of Stone Cold Steve Austin... "And that's the bottom line 'cause Stone Cold said so!"

John Deere was born on February 7, 1804, in Rutland, Vermont. After a brief educational period at Middlebury College, at age 17 in 1821 he began an apprenticeship with Captain Benjamin Lawrence, a successful Middlebury blacksmith, and entered the trade for himself in 1826. He married Demarius Lamb in 1827 and fathered nine children. Deere worked in Burlington before opening his own shops, first in Vergennes, and then in Leicester.
John Deere settled in Grand Detour, Illinois. Deere found that cast-iron plows were not working very well in the tough prairie soil of Illinois and remembered the needles he had previously polished by running them through sand as he grew up in his father's tailor shop in Rutland, Vermont. Deere came to the conclusion that a plow made out of highly polished steel and a correctly shaped moldboard (the self-scouring steel plow) would be better able to handle the soil conditions of the prairie, especially its sticky clay.
Early John Deere plows, circa 1845, made in Grand Detour, Illinois. There are varying versions of the inspiration for Deere's famous steel plow. In 1837, Deere developed and manufactured the first commercially successful cast-steel plow. The wrought-iron framed plow had a polished steel share. This made it ideal for the tough soil of the Midwest and worked better than other plows.
By early 1838, Deere completed his first steel plow and sold it to a local farmer, Lewis Crandall, who quickly spread the word of his success with Deere's plow. By 1841, Deere was manufacturing 75–100 plows per year.
Deere insisted on making high-quality equipment. He once said, "I will never put my name on a product that does not have in it the best that is in me." Following the Panic of 1857, as business improved, Deere left the day-to-day operations to his son Charles. In 1868, Deere incorporated his business as Deere & Company.
Later in life, Deere focused most of his attention on civil and political affairs. He served as President of the National Bank of Moline, a director of the Moline Free Public Library, and was a trustee of the First Congregational Church. Deere also served as Moline's mayor for two years but due to chest pains and dysentery Deere refused to run for a second term. He died at home on May 17, 1886.

Jim did an internship with us in the plant nursery for an entire school year as part of his associate degree course in Horticulture Management at Inholland in Delft. At first glance, a year may seem like a long time, but time has really flown by. Fortunately, Jim thinks the same way:
“It was an incredibly educational period! What I really appreciated was the freedom I was given within WPK to work on the assignments.”
Is it time for you to do an internship soon? Jim takes you through his experience as an intern and the atmosphere within WPK.
From efficient clipping to the perfect product launch
By completing various assignments – from a business report to a true marketing plan – Jim has created valuable insights. “I was given the freedom, for example, to devise an optimal strategic policy for a product launch and to investigate the company’s orientation in the field of trends (such as sustainability). My favorite assignments were making an instructional video, researching the operation and importance of auction photos and researching ways to clip horizontally on the surplus crop trolleys.”
In the office and in the greenhouse: the best of both worlds
Jim: “The mix of working in the office and in the greenhouse has done me good. Because, although I often liked the business administration work more, the practical experience in the greenhouse has given me good insight into what I have been dealing with on various assignments.
I really liked the attention that was given to my suggestions. People really listened to what I had to say. And if advice were not followed, it was also explained in a clear and respectful manner on what grounds that decision was based.”

Josh Howard wows the elementary school
BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY
Josh Howard, former NBA All-Star and Piedmont International University (PIU) head coach, is not only making his presence felt on the sidelines but also in the community. Howard recently met with children from Kimberly Park Elementary. The students were a part of a program called Young Men of Honor.
The students were given some life lessons and personal advise from Howard in the gymnasium. They were also treated to a basketball game where the PIU Bruins defeated Johnson University.
“This was an awesome opportunity for Kimberly Park Elementary students to meet former NBA All-Star and Winston-Salem native Josh Howard,” said Juwon Crowell, physical education coach at Kimberly Park. “The Kimberly Park Elementary students were so excited to be a part of and help the Bruins win on Friday [Feb. 3].”
“For a lot of our students, they are against a lot of household challenges and have to overcome lots of demographic barriers. Due to the transparency and humbleness of Josh Howard and the Piedmont International University staff, they made the connection and that life changing experience happen for Kimberly Park Elementary scholars.”
Young Men of Honor is in place to teach leadership, self-respect, integrity, thinking and speaking positive, student first and athlete second, focusing and overall life skills.
The director of Special Projects at Piedmont International University added, “Thank you so much for honoring us by awarding your ‘Men of Honor’ with a game at Piedmont International University. We were delighted to have you here cheering for our team. I would have to say our Bruins put on quite a show for you and delivered an impressive win.”
The young men from Kimberly Park were also invited to watch the Bruins next game that was streamed through the schools website. | <urn:uuid:cfa8acd8-080f-4156-a4ce-5c1941c0d6d5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wschronicle.com/josh-howard-wows-elementary-school/ | 2024-04-13T23:08:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.981353 | 387 |
Apostle of the Highlands-An Illustrated Abridgement: The Life of St. Columba, the Apostle and Patron of the Ancient Scots and Picts and Joint Patron o (Paperback)
"Never, Never, Never let anyone tell you that, in order to be Orthodox, you must be Eastern. The West was fully Orthodox for a thousand years, and her venerable liturgy is far older than any of her heresies." St. John Maximovitch
This retelling of the life of St. Columba will be of interest not only for students of Orthodox hagiography, but also those who wish to learn more about Western saints, Celtic Christianity, Scottish history, or anyone who has visited Iona and wishes to reclaim that moment of peace having stood in a sacred, thin place so blessed by God. | <urn:uuid:c1b40558-0691-4929-b5c1-cc4df2620dbb> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ww.politics-prose.com/book/9780996404570 | 2024-04-13T21:48:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.936977 | 168 |

India tipped to join pivotal JPMorgan bond index
Simply sign up to the Indian business & finance myFT Digest -- delivered directly to your inbox.
JPMorgan is sounding out big investors on adding India to its widely tracked emerging-market bond index, setting the stage for tens of billions of dollars of inflows as the country’s domestic market opens up to foreign capital.
The Wall Street bank is seeking investor views on whether to make a large chunk of India’s $1tn rupee-dominated bond market eligible for inclusion in the GBI-EM Global Diversified index of local currency debt, according to two people familiar with the matter. It opened the consultation this summer with fund managers accounting for 85 per cent of the $240bn in assets under management tracking the benchmark.
A decision to add Indian debt to one of the bank’s flagship indices would mark an inflection point for global investor exposure to the world’s fifth-largest economy and the fruition of years of discussions between India’s government, index providers and investors.
The consultation with asset managers comes as a growing chorus of investors and analysts are tipping India’s sovereign bonds for inclusion in the influential benchmark, a move that would drive an estimated $30bn in passive investor inflows, according to Goldman Sachs.
“We think there is now a momentum from the investor side for inclusion,” said Jayesh Mehta, India country treasurer at Bank of America. The Indian government’s wariness of hot money flows — which can quickly move into and out of markets — has also been allayed, Mehta added. “The government has been convinced that funds coming in through indexes are more sticky.”
Danny Suwanapruti, head of Asia emerging markets foreign exchange and rates strategy at Goldman, said that “it’s a win-win for everyone if they can make it work and the incentives are now more aligned for this to happen, so it becomes a matter of time”.
Suwanapruti forecast that about $270bn of so-called fully accessible route sovereign bonds traded in India’s local market would become eligible for the GBI-EM index by 2023, and the country to represent about a tenth of the overall benchmark upon its inclusion. “That would prompt around $30bn of passive inflows . . . helping India to finance its fiscal and current account deficit,” he said.
Indian government bonds rallied on Friday after the Financial Times reported the consultation, with the yield on the country’s 10-year debt falling 0.07 percentage points to 7.22 per cent
The JPMorgan consultation should be complete by next month, with the announcement of an official proposal expected in October, according to people familiar with the matter. The bank declined to comment on the potential inclusion, as did India’s finance ministry.
India is not included in most other major bond indices, such as Bloomberg’s Global Aggregate index or the FTSE Emerging Markets Bond index.
FTSE Russell placed Indian government bonds on a watchlist for possible inclusion in early 2021 but said in March that that status remained unchanged — although it is scheduled for another assessment next month. FTSE Russell declined to comment on India’s assessment status.
The Reserve Bank of India introduced fully accessible route (FAR) bonds in March 2020, allowing foreign financial institutions to invest in rupee-denominated bonds without restrictions for the first time. It is this subset of FAR bonds from the Indian government on which the JPMorgan consultation is focused.
The prospect of foreign inflows has become more attractive in New Delhi since the start of 2020. Although India did not splurge on coronavirus stimulus measures as forcefully as other big economies, its fiscal deficit reached record levels during the pandemic, sharpening the need to broaden its financing options.
“Post-Covid, our deficit has grown to such a level that financing it only domestically has [negative] implications,” said one senior banker based in Mumbai.
One of the key stumbling blocks to previous drives for inclusion has been where and how bond trading should be settled — whether outside India’s borders on a platform such as Euroclear that is familiar to global financial institutions, or in India, where investors would have to complete onerous registration procedures.
According to three senior bankers in India familiar with the talks, the offshore settlement option was, in effect, vetoed by the Indian government last year owing to issues with administering capital gains tax, which would have disadvantaged Indian investors.
Goldman’s Suwanapruti said the lack of settlement on a global platform was unlikely to derail the process, since it had not prevented the inclusion of either China or Indonesia. He added that although the time needed to open a trading account in India would be “burdensome” for foreign investors new to the market, a longer lead time for inclusion in the benchmark index could help address this.
Despite the growing expectation from much of the market for imminent inclusion, some bankers expressed doubts that approval would come so quickly.
“I think September would be too aggressive [for index inclusion], my feeling is maybe the beginning of next year,” said a senior banker.
Views also differ on the immediacy of investor demand for India’s inclusion, particularly with interest rates rising in developed markets.
Another senior banker said: “Given the size of the Indian market and the Indian economy, there is a certain investor view that, look, you need to find a way to get India in [to the indices] . . . but not necessarily today. In the medium term, I think there is enough investor sentiment.”

Thinking it over, the expression “True stereotypes” is almost a pleonasm. A redundance.
If the connection exists, that means a stereotype is almost always true…
Or is it anything of a surprise in telling you I had a very absent-minded professor? (You might ask me back… Only one?)
Mr. Ştefan (“Ş" reads “Sh”) was the prototype indeed. I’ve studied Physics and he was teaching Electricity^Magnetism stuff. To introduce him to you in this first of my School Stories (actually university ones), let me tell you his unintended “prank” he played to his students.
A group of his students had their weekly Electricity experiments class. I should mention here that all experiments in Optics, Thermodynamics, Spectroscopy and so on were taking place in the building for laboratories on the so-called “floor # two and half”. This name was so weird because the building containing the Physics laboratories was in an extreme wing of the University. (By the way, they were facing the park next to the parking place I am telling you here in the next funny true story about this professor.)
The Laboratory building had been built after the main building, and for some reason their floor levels didn’t match each other. Thus, in order to come from the main University’s building to the Laboratories' one, some stairs were necessary. And since the gate to the laboratories building was between the 2nd and the 3rd floor of the main building... This name, “floor # two and half”, was the only possible.
Well, the laboratory window was pretty far away from the main entrance, but still on the same part with it. Luckily so, because… Wait.
During the class somebody came to announce the professor an urgent personal phone call. He got out the laboratory while the students were still working on their projects. After a short while they heard the keys, which were always stuck in the door’s lock to prevent them from being misplaced, moving in that lock.
They didn’t bother – they should have... Mr Ştefan had forgotten he was in the middle of a laboratory class and that he had students inside, waiting for him. After that personal phone call he just took his keys from the laboratory door, and gone he was.
The students realized some time later that he wouldn’t come anymore, and since the time was up, they wanted to go home.
Of course, door closed...
Since cell-phones were yet to be invented, they had no other choice than to wait. Bad luck, because their class had been in the afternoon and there was nobody more on the corridors… Two (and half) floors to climb down the street, out of the windows, was also risky. And in the park outside there was nobody walking…
They had to just sit there and wait for a wonder – until later that evening, when the University guardian came to rescue them. He had seen the light on, and wondered whether the light had been forgotten lit, or else who might be there in the laboratory so late in the night…
Go Home :)

Could you please inform me if Outer Banks Season 4 will be bringing back several characters and continuing the Pogues' adventures? Thank you.
The hit Netflix show centred on a group of Pogue teenagers, who were working-class locals, and wealthy seasonal Kooks residents, as they embarked on a quest to find a lost treasure. Could you please inform me when Outer Banks Season 1 was released on Netflix?
The end date of the Netflix series is currently unknown, but the renewal of Season 4 implies that there is still much more to come in the story.
Could you please let me know when Outer Banks Season 4 is scheduled to be released?Netflix, through Deadline, kindly announced on February 23, 2022, that Outer Banks has been renewed for Season 4.
The renewal was granted just days before the premiere of Season 3 on the streaming service, which suggests that Netflix has a strong belief in the series.
The news was kindly shared during the Poguelandia Fan Event in Huntington Beach, California.
According to a listing from ProductionWeekly, via What's On Netflix, it appears that Outer Banks Season 4 was initially planned to commence filming on May 30, with an estimated wrap date of December 15.
However, I regret to inform you that the show was ultimately impacted by the ongoing Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike, resulting in the start date being pushed to June 2023.
Despite the ongoing writers' strike, it has been revealed by What's On Netflix on X, formerly known as Twitter, that filming for Season 4 has already commenced on June 12, 2023.
Unfortunately, the production had to be halted due to the actors' strike that began in July 2023.
According to a report from WSPA in July 2023, Kimmie Stewart Casting, the casting agency for Outer Banks, has confirmed the news through an official statement. As a result, it appears that the premiere of Season 4 may experience a delay.
To summarise, Season 2 concluded in April 2021 and debuted on July 30, 2021. Season 3 concluded in September 2022 and made its debut earlier this year on February 23, 2023.
The show's quick turnaround from filming to release is a very promising sign for Season 4. If I may, considering the possibility of production delays last May, it would be most appropriate to suggest that an ideal release timeframe for Season 4 could potentially be either in the spring or summer of 2024.
May I know who has been cast in Outer Banks Season 4, please?Could you please inform me if Outer Banks Season 4 is anticipated to feature the return of several important characters from the previous seasons? Thank you.
Below is a list of the cast members who will be returning in Season 4:
Could you please provide more information about Chase Stokes and John B. Routledge? Thank you.
The Pogues' charismatic ringleader is John B. Routledge, and he is portrayed by the talented Chase Stokes.
The character also has a romantic connection with Sarah Cameron.In the epilogue of Season 3, it was revealed that John B. and Sarah are happily running a surf shop. However, it is expected that the quest to find Blackbeard's treasure may temporarily interrupt their operations, resulting in another exciting adventure in Season 4.
Could you please provide some information about Madelyn Cline and her role as Sarah Cameron? Thank you.
Madelyn Cline, who had a mix of positive and negative experiences in Season 3, will be reprising her role as Sarah Cameron in Season 4.
The character may have resolved her pregnancy issues with John B., but it seems that Sarah is now facing a new challenge involving another dangerous treasure. However, Sarah's intelligence and enthusiasm could potentially play a crucial role in assisting the Pogues in their quest to locate the elusive treasure.
Could you please provide more information about Madison Bailey and Kiara Carrera? Thank you.
Madison Bailey's Kiara Carrera is making a return to the world of Outer Banks.
In Season 3, Kiara managed to overcome a challenging situation when she was taken by Carlos, all while navigating her romantic relationship with JJ. In the last season's epilogue, it was revealed that Kiara is on a mission to save turtles.
It is anticipated that she will eventually bring the Pogues back together in order to search for Blackbeard's treasure.
Hello, could you please provide more context or clarify your request? Thank you.
Pope Heyward is widely regarded as the Pogues' most intelligent member, with John B. even going so far as to describe him as "the brains of the operation." The character is portrayed by Jonathan Daviss. In the Season 3 epilogue, it is indicated that Pope is heading back to school, but unfortunately, his trip will be shortened due to a new mission.
Hello, I would like to request some information about Carlacia Grant - Cleo, if that's alright. Thank you!
Could you please inform me about the anticipated role of Carlacia Grant's character, Cleo, in the upcoming Season 4 of the Pogues?

Every job interview is different and should be approached with the attitude of I am going to show them I am worth it. In essence, we have to become salesmen and women, showing the prospective employer how good we are and what we can do for them.
Stop wasting your time reading novels on “How to get your dream job“. If it was as easy as they say, then why does not everyone have their dream job? We all have qualifications for jobs that are out there and available right now. Why not look at what your good at and start from there.
The first impression you make is the most important one. With that being said, take a look at your resume’. An unwritten rule is to keep it simple without leaving out important details. Keep it to one page and always include a cover letter. You may want to do a couple different styles of resume’. If you do this, though, make sure you have the same information on both. By doing this you can decide which to send out for different position.
Do not be afraid to pat yourself on the back. Your prospective employer has never met you and knows nothing about you, other than what is on a piece of paper in front of them. Let them know what you are good at and compliments or awards you have received for your work. Being confident is different than being arrogant, so be careful not to over do it.
During an interview you will have the ability to further explain you qualities that would be a great asset for this company. Keep in mind; you do not need to tell them everything you have done that, in your mind, is great. You do not want to come across as arrogant. Before the interview, pick out a few different things that you are good at and highlight those as key factors. Be professional without sounding too uptight. If this does not come naturally, practice it.
When preparing for an interview, it never hurts to have examples of your work handy. You may not need them, but take them, just in case the interviewer asks to see some examples of your work.
One aspect in a person every employer looks for is a good work ethic. Be prepared to look them in the eye and tell them about yours. This shows the employer that you are confident in your work, mean what you say and that you are worth it!
Looking for work is usually an overwhelming task. With all the competition quantity generally must be coupled with value to reach a goal. Take a look at Lowes Jobs for valuable ideas. Getting reliable direction saves your time searching for what can work in having to look at what doesn’t. By receiving solid help probably will enhance your chances in separating yourself from the opposition.
By Timothy Mason: The employment marketplace is forever shifting and the individuals who are able to change the fastest often will be the ones that have the primary choice in the best opportunities. Through the accessibility of information and the upgrades in computer, looking for employment is not what it used to be. The game has changed in a big way and currently people must not only be able to deliver a total package of capabilities and understanding for the profession but have got to also master extra expertise to even get an meeting for the profession you want. | <urn:uuid:5fc3762b-7e0e-4726-b79d-3df7d8ac0c46> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.40x50.com/2010/07/show-them-you-are-worth-it-job-hunting.html | 2024-04-13T21:49:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.975361 | 664 |

As a resident and taxpayer, I feel it is important that we have easy access to financial and operational documentation of our municipality and school district as required by law.
Sadly, our school district does not seem to make completing that task easy. I mean, what is there to hide?
While other school districts have Bills Lists and Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports freely downloadable by the public at any time, district officials requested I file an OPRA request. If it was that easy...
I looked at the meeting minutes for the 2010-11 school year. They referenced "policies and procedures", "bills list" and "schedule A" in the minutes but they were not included in the minutes or anywhere on the district website. I first asked why could the documents not be available on the district website. The response:
So I filed a request for the missing referenced documents. Upon filing the request, I received this response:
Huh? I asked why the transmittals could not be sent electronically. It took a few days, but here they are, doing my part to share them with other residents since there seems insufficient storage on the district web server:
One of the documents in the list caught my attention: A settlement document. As recorded in the November 18, 2010 minutes:
It was moved... that the Dumont Board of Education approve a Settlement Agreement with J.T. on behalf of I.T., dated November 18, 2010.
I don't know what is going on with Dumont's special education program, but something seems very wrong when the district is paying $240,000 to settle a lawsuit and there is an open case that is now joined by a federally funded agency earlier this year. What additional risk is the district on the hook for and why are these amounts not accounted for on the budget? Can the district afford to continue this practice, where the plaintiff attorney claims:
The District's "separate but equal" policy is actually more expensive than the alternative, and fails to educate children with disabilities alongside their non-disabled peers, as required by federal and state law.
Having seen this, how good is Superintendent Triggiano's assurance that changes to staffing or programs will not be made? Is the assumption that the district will prevail, or that an unfavorable outcome won't torpedo the budget until next year or the year after?
Monday, April 11, 2011
Sunday, April 10, 2011
On March 31, Superintendent Triggiano and Business Manager Cartotto made a joint presentation on the proposed Dumont Schools 2011-2012 budget (video here). The takeaway I had from the hour long slide show was this:
Triggiano: I am pleased to say that if our budget is successful at 2%, we are not planning
on making any major changes in staffing or programs at this time.
I thought that sounded great, until I noticed the following:
- If the district received almost $400,000 more state aid and $310,000 more federal aid than last year, why does the district want another $618,006 from taxpayers?
- In the 2009-2010 budget, the regular student enrollment estimate for the coming year was up 6 but actually down 20, or 1% error. For 2010-2011 the estimate was up 27 but was actually down 40, or almost 3% error. For that, the 2011-12 estimate has little credibility with me. Why has the district overestimated student enrollment for the past two years?
- Except for the district superintendent, the employment contracts of Business Administrator (1) and Coordinator/Director/Manager/Supervisor (3) are up for renewal this year.
I do not make these comments lightly. Both of my children are in Dumont schools, but I am also a taxpayer. In my humble opinion, I think the statement "This board of education has decided to remain at the 2% limit recommended by the governor" smacks of ignorance at best, arrogance at worst and endemic of an attitude that became obsolete when the recession began three years ago.
Why this is not an April fools' nightmare but the bleak reality? | <urn:uuid:a0467e4d-e630-4fbd-aafc-2007bd4991be> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.abetterdumont.com/2011/04/ | 2024-04-13T21:35:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.972254 | 843 |
Rice is the main food staple in the diet of about half of the world’s population. The dominance of rice in diets throughout the world can be seen in the many types of ethnic dishes based on rice. Mexican rice, flavored with salsa, is a mandatory side, if not a main dish component, in many types of Mexican food. Sushi, a staple of Japan, can forgo the seaweed at times, but without rice it won’t be sushi. In Italian food, risotto is a main-stage rice dish, and in the Middle East, majadra, or rice with lentils, is a wildly popular dish. Though rice dishes with strong ethnic backgrounds can surely provide a basis for imagining rice dishes in restaurants, other popular menu items can be inspired by rice as well: fried rice balls, Nicoise salad with rice, risotto, and more. In addition to their versatile uses, various types of rice offer a wide range of health benefits. As an added bonus, rice is sodium, cholesterol, and gluten free, making it a great option for diners with strict dietary constraints.
Arborio rice is round and starchy, making it ideal for use in risotto. Though the starch in Arborio rice gives risotto a creamy texture, it is not higher in carbohydrates than other, alternative types of rice. Arborio rice has a small amount of iron, and some vitamins and minerals, making it extra attractive to cook with. However, since it is grown mostly in Italy, it tends to be on the pricy side which may deter some venues.
Sushi rice retains shape and relative firmness when cooked, but is also sticky. The shape and sticky texture make it ideal to use in sushi, helping the roll stick together. Sushi is a virtually fat free dish, and therefore a good option for some dieters despite being high in carbohydrates. Since sushi has become an American favorite, many restaurants that don’t necessarily specialize in sushi have taken to offering sushi and sushi-style dishes, making sushi rice important to have on hand.
Basmati Rice and Jasmine Rice
Basmati rice and jasmine rice are types that originated in India and Thailand, respectively. Both tend to be very fragrant, making for delicious, simple side dishes. Basmati rice should be soaked before boiling, in order to help the grains cook evenly. Basmati and jasmine rice are both great options for pilafs, to serve with stews, and to stir fry. These types of rice can also be used in sweet dishes, such as rice pudding, and are sometimes added to blended soups, in order to increase thickness.
Brown rice can be used in many of the same dishes as basmati and jasmine rice, but offer an added nutty flavor, coarser texture, and extra health benefits. Though brown rice is often more expensive than white rice in the United States, it actually involves less preparation steps than white rice. The lesser processing and presence of the bran (which is usually removed in white rice production), give brown rice fibers, vitamins, and minerals which are essential in a healthy diet. Like white rice, brown rice can be served with stews, as a pilaf, as a salad, and in stir fry.

Though wild rice is not actually a rice, it is often served after being prepared in ways similar to rice or mixed in with various types of rice. Wild rice is the seed of marsh grass. It tends to be more expensive than rice, but can be worth it, helping dishes stand out by adding a pop of color. It can also add contrast to a plate when served as a side dish. With extra crunch and a nutty flavor compared to rice varieties, along with its dark black or brown color, wild rice can be a beautiful component in a meal.
Rice can have a place on any menu. Many ethnicities have recipes that make rice their own, but recipes that do not fall under the category of a certain ethnicity are popular as well. Since rice is a healthy, delicious and versatile option, it can be adapted to fit to every menu. Its texture and shape lend it to beautiful and delicious food presentation opportunities, while the different colors available can contrast with other ingredients on a plate to catch the diner’s eye. The relatively neutral flavors of white and brown rice provide an option for playing around with flavor pairing and artistically creating impressive dishes. The best way to get familiar with the different types of rice is to taste and experiment. However, the many sources of information available on different types of rice enable chefs and cooks to estimate which rice will match their needs, even before purchasing and testing. | <urn:uuid:dd36e78b-2af9-4a17-a9cb-0af247586f52> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.ablekitchen.com/blog/rice-guide/ | 2024-04-13T23:18:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.923048 | 1,125 |

The inaugural event was also attended by Brazilian model Alessandra Ambrosio, who wore a vintage hooded gown by Elie Saab from his 2005 haute couture line.
While Honayda Serafi's attention-grabbing pink gown also featured a hood and was accessorized with exquisite jewelry from luxury brand Chopard.
Saudi actress and singer Aseel Omran captivated fans in a dazzling maroon Dior dress, and Saudi TV presenter Eleen Suliman opted for a light green gown by Beirut-based label Sara Mrad, featuring voluminous sleeves and a thigh-high slit.
Lebanese actress Razane Jammal graced the event in a white Dior gown with collar embellishments.
Lebanese singer and actress Maya Diab stunned onlookers in a black ensemble by Lebanese couturier Jean-Louis Sabaji. The backless dress boasted a daring neckline and a high slit, revealing the star's studded sheer stockings.
Egyptian actress Mona Zaki mesmerized fans with her vibrant Zuhair Murad gown, adorned with multiple colors.
Indian actress Esha Gupta made an appearance wearing a sensational white dress by Nicolas Jebran, as shared by the designer on Instagram.

Esports is big business. As the industry expands, new roles are popping up all the time, from competitors to supporting roles. There’s so many opportunities that you’re spoilt for choice with which career path you could go down within the industry. We’re here to help you figure out how to make esports work for you as a viable source of income.
How much money is there in the industry?
First off, let’s tackle the obvious. One way of making money from esports is to start or join a team, win tournaments and take home prize pots. Depending on the scale of the tournament, this can be anywhere from a few hundred pounds to a share of a whopping £47 million as we’ve seen with DOTA 2 prize pools in recent years.
How do I get a share of that money?
Achieving big wins is possible, but far from easy. If you’re starting your own team, you’ll need to find the best players you can, get them training hard and build in the key infrastructure they need to succeed including salaries, equipment and a team of people behind them to support them including coaches, managers, nutrition experts, PR and marketing teams and much more. If this takes your fancy, you can get a wealth of free advice on the British Esports Association (BEA) website right here.
You could also become a competitor on an esports team. Again, not an easy task. Playing at this level takes commitment, practice and real passion for playing your game of choice. You’ll need a rigorous training schedule, the skill to win rounds, the ability to look after your health and wellbeing so you’re able to adapt quickly to the varied situations that can come in game rounds, patience and the right equipment to help you get the most out of each competition. It’s quite a journey to get into competitive esports, but achieving success can be incredibly lucrative and fulfilling.
What other roles are there?
This next bit is really important. Esports teams aren’t defined by the players. You can have the greatest gamers in the world but without people working in the background to support them, be that marketing, nutrition, coaching, shoutcasting or another role, they might not be able to perform at their best.
Supporting roles can be a great way for someone who doesn’t want to compete but still wants a career in esports to make money. Teams are always advertising for vacancies and emerging jobs that they need the right person for, and these roles often provide transferable skills, meaning every day is varied and exciting. The industry and tournaments themselves wouldn’t work without all these incredible people in the background, and there has never been a better time than now to get stuck in. Here’s a list of just some of the supporting roles available:
If you’re interested in any of the above paths, ACC’s Esports Management course is here for you. We’re accepting applications now for September 2023 for this bespoke course, designed to give you the knowledge, skills and confidence to build a career in the industry. We’ve also partnered with esports powerhouse Fnatic, so you can get even more knowledge from one of the biggest and best brands in esports today. | <urn:uuid:b42d6b5a-badd-4699-8530-21b03f59d459> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.accesscreative.ac.uk/blog/how-to-make-money-from-esports/ | 2024-04-13T21:36:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.966057 | 680 |

Summer storms are upon us. In fact, I think every day in July so far, there has been rain, thunder and lightning in our area. Though my grass appreciates finally being watered on a daily basis, my electricity goes out any time the thunder is near. So far the storms happen in the late afternoon and there is enough light to see until it comes back on. But living near the Gulf Coast almost guarantees that a huge storm will come and my power will be out for a while. When the power goes out here, it is really, really, really dark. We don’t have street lights in our country neighborhood and with 19 tress shading the house, it can be a very scary place for little kids. So, I decided this year, before the potential storms come, I would prepare a kit for kids that will help scare the dark away! With the help of Duracell batteries and some imagination, I have a slide under the bed kit that will keep my kids calm and occupied should the power go out!
Shopping at Walmart while the cousins are in town for fun things to do in the dark can be quite entertaining. The ideas poured out and I tried to keep up. We started small. We got several packs of Duracell Quantum and Duracell Coppertop Batteries. Since my kids are little, candles in the dark scare. Plus, games and flashlights need batteries anyway. So having Duracell in the kit was a no brainer!
My sister in law, Cathy, came up with the most fun idea, I thought! They have flashlights in the camping section of Walmart that are colored. Red, Green, Blue, Yellow and so on. With a little imagination and the right Duracell batteries in my kit, I can occupy my kids with light and fun and distract them from the darkness! Since I could not find yellow, I added green, red and blue to my kit and we will improvise when the time comes!
I mainly focused on things that would light up in the darkness for obvious reasons. The more light, the more smiles from kids. I found a small light show the will bring smiles for sure, light up stickers that they can push for colorful fun, more flashlights to give them variety, glow creatures, bolt light up balls and more! I also added some fun hand help light games for a distraction when I need it! I also, just for fun, added a colorful boa for tug ‘o war fun!
For family fun I hunted the game aisle. Looking for fun Hasbro games is always a challenge with kids. There are so many to choose from! But when we saw the Despicable Me Operation Game, it was a winner all around. I will tuck it away in the Scare the Dark Away kit and pull it out for all of us to enjoy! Since Hasbro games suggest Duracell batteries, I got extra just for the game!
Kids and the dark don’t mix. But with a reliable kit that includes the necessary batteries, games, light up fun and more that only comes out in the dark, you can help your kids scare away the dark a little easier!
What other items would you add to the kit to help keep your kids calm in the dark? I would love to hear! | <urn:uuid:a7eb4cc1-a8d6-496e-bcba-7af4dc5d4930> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.adayinmotherhood.com/duracell/ | 2024-04-13T21:35:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.960689 | 718 |
Carter Tryon joins ADM High School as a science teacher teaching biology and PLTW Principles of Biomedical Sciences. He is a Central College Graduate and is starting his first year of teaching. Carter chose teaching to make a positive impact on all of his students, as many teachers had made a positive impact on him in high school. “I love biology and the content but I think that teaching is more than just the content, it is preparing our youth to be not just functional members of society after graduation, but also great people in general.”
Carter chose ADM because he had heard great things about ADM from everyone that he spoke to and he felt he was at the right place during his interview. He enjoys running, kayaking, doing anything outdoors, and spending time with family. Help us give a warm ADM welcome to Carter Tryon!

How to extract images from a PDF.
Quickly extract PDF images and easily save them to your device.
There are several ways to extract images from a PDF. The two most common methods are copying the image you want and extracting specific pages from the document. Read on to learn more about which of these might work best.
Highlight and copy the image.
Everyone knows how helpful the copy-and-paste function is on a computer. Luckily, you can use the same process to extract images from PDF documents.
To save an image from a PDF, simply open the document and click on the image you want to extract. Once highlighted, right-click on the image and select Copy. Then, open your favorite document or image processor, and paste the copied image into it.
From there, you can right-click the image to save it to your computer as either a JPEG or PNG file for future use.
Extract specific PDF pages.
In many cases, the image you want to extract takes up a whole PDF page. If that’s the case, extracting the entire page from the document is best.
It’s easy to extract PDF pages with an online PDF editor like Adobe Acrobat online services. Just follow these steps:
- Go to the Acrobat online services website.
- Upload the PDF you want to extract the image from.
- Select the page or pages you want to extract.
- Click Extract.
- Download the new document to your device.
You’ll have a brand-new PDF document with just the extracted pages. This method is ideal if you want to save several images from the same PDF but still want to keep them together in the same file.
Just because an image is in a PDF doesn’t mean it’s stuck there forever. By copying and saving the image or extracting the entire page, you can easily extract images from PDF documents and save them to your device for future use. | <urn:uuid:4636d9db-15e2-4b51-a87c-a68dd5656887> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.adobe.com/acrobat/hub/how-to-extract-images-from-pdf.html | 2024-04-13T21:38:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.896749 | 406 |
