Daniel and Jonathan have gone from strength to strength with their street style blog started last year and changing what it means to have a style blog. With a t-shirt line, club nights and exhibits of their photography in Frasers and Urban Outfitters was their ever any doubt that they would win Vogue’s Street Chic competition?
The competition was judged by creative director of Vogue Robin Derrick and deputy editor of Vogue Emily Sheffield.
If you aren’t already following les garcons…shame on you! but make sure to go over to their blog as they cover some of the most exciting events in Glasgow and it’s wonderful to see Glasgow’s vibrant and eclectic sense of style told through les garcons lenses. | <urn:uuid:1bdf7879-ade6-474f-9bf8-79c5fabfcc2a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.beewaits.com/2010/09/on-congratulations-being-in-order.html | 2024-04-19T12:23:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.969069 | 170 |

If you follow me, or have read any good horse racing books, you will have come across the term ’tissue’ or ’tissue price’ and maybe wondered what on earth it is. So the purpose of this article is to try and explain the term and why it’s so important to understand how tissue prices can have a very positive effect on your long-term betting.
Tissue prices are a set of prices that are constructed from ratings converted to probability in most instances, though they can sometimes be constructed without this first step. However, in most instances a number of factors are first combined to arrive at a rating figure, and then that rating is converted to a percentage. This makes calculating the tissue price easier.
For example, if the probability figure suggests the horse has a 20% chance of winning, then that is essentially 5/1. If the horse is calculated as having a probability figure of 25% then again that equates to around 4/1.
You will often see this in the Racing Post, they provide a ’tissue price’ or betting forecast based on their estimation of chance, and this is usually seen at the bottom of the race card for each race. It is a guide as to what their race reader considered to be ‘fair odds’ for each runner, expressed in fraction form.
It is rare that 2 odds compilers will come up with exactly the same price for each selection, the process is subjective, but most of the time they will reach the same conclusion in as much as the favourite is x horse, it’s just the tissue price that may differ. I have noticed this on the Racing Post site and the Sporting Life site – they might agree the first 3 in the market, but oftentimes they disagree as to the order sometimes, and the prices apportioned to each as a tissue price more often than not.
Tissue prices are very useful, in fact I would go so far as to say they are essential. A good set of tissue prices can mean the difference between making a long-term profit, or just lining the pockets of the bookie repeatedly. If you read my previous article, is your selection running for you or the bookie, then you will hopefully by now realise that bookie prices do not accurately reflect chance, the best guide to the chance of a horse winning is you, not the market. The market can point you in the direction of a winner sometimes, but often the prices are so prohibitive that it’s hard to make a long-term profit following market moves because by the time you are on the edge being punted has long gone.
So why use tissue prices? The answer is simple… they help find value bets. If you can find a horse that’s 5/1 on your set of tissue prices, and you can back it at 10/1, then you have a huge advantage over the market. You don’t need a lot of 10/1 shots winning, that are effectively 5/1 shots, to make a substantial profit over time – and this should be your main objective, finding horses that are way overpriced and punting them at odds more advantageous to you than the bookie. When this happens you effectively wipe out the bookie margin and place the profit potential firmly in your wallet.
A long time ago I use to use a set of ratings produced by Infineform (www.infineform.com) and found them to be very good for a long while until I progressed pass them, but I will use them now as an example to show how you can find possible value by converting ratings to odds, and then looking for real price discrepancies to punt at odds in your favour instead of the bookies:
Race: Sedgefield 14:20
So working off a set of ratings from Infineform we can see that the rating is converted to chance first of all and then the chance is converted to decimal odds as a guide to fair price.
In the ‘Offered’ column is the odds currently available and the ‘Value %’ signifies to what degree the horses are currently running for you or the bookie.
You can see that the current situation shows that the main contenders, Seventeen Black, Charlie Wingnut and Chasma are all fairly heavily priced in the bookies favour right now, but at the other end of the odds spectrum with selections like See the Legend, where the target odds are 6.65, the current price on offer of 13.00 looks like a pretty decent value bet each way.
In this sort of race I would only concentrate on those horses that have a target of less than 10.00, otherwise you are betting big price outsiders with no real chance of winning. At least this particular horse has a decent chance of winning, or hitting the frame, and the odds on offer provide real value.
While this is not a complete science, it’s a good way to form a set of prices based on ratings, and have something to compare the selection to in order to determine whether or not the odds on offer are better or worse than they should be. In effect you have a tissue price from the set of ratings which can then be used to compare the prices on offer against the odds you have generated.
Again, in this instance I like to see a 100% value% in my favour, or thereabouts anyway. It provides a safety buffer of sorts.
In this particular race Chasma won, but was heavily overbet, returning 3/1 SP. Charlie Wingnut came 2nd at 7/2, and Seventeen Black came third at 10/3. The bookie made a nice profit on this race with that result, as he would have layed them all at fairly short odds so it wouldn’t have mattered to him which one won at those prices, they were covered!
As you can see, the ratings you use can drastically affect the prices you generate as fair odds, or tissue prices. The more accurate the ratings, the more reflective the prices are you are working from.
I have found commercially produced ratings are better than free ratings. That’s not to say that free ratings are no good, but unless they are compiled with a high degree of accuracy they are pretty much worthless in my mind.
I see more and more people using ratings and formulating their own tissue prices, or fair odds, and this is great. Dynamite in particular has started doing this and there is an interesting thread in the forum detailing some great ideas about how to do this.
The source of your ratings, or the way you compile them, is very important. A poor set of ratings will generate disappointing results, but a good set of ratings can be a goldmine. I use a commercial service to provide my collateral form ratings, and then use 30-40 factors to produce a tissue for each race. Most of the time the horses I have priced up at 10/1 or less win, which is encouraging, but it’s when a horse that’s shorter on the tissue price than in the market appears that I pay particular attention. I go back through to double-check every fact first of all, then if it all looks good and there is no apparent reason for the discrepancy, then it’s a possible bet at the odds.
Ratings provide a ’rounded’ view of each runner in the race I feel. It allows you to look at all the positive and negative factors incorporated into 1 single figure – and it saves a lot of time. Using a median figure, you can quickly narrow down a race to just those main contenders, and then focus on them solely to find the winner. In most instances horses below my median rating figure don’t win, so they can be discarded with a fair degree of accuracy. Those above the median figure are those most likely to win the race, and any with strong positives and a low tissue price stand out at that point. It’s just a matter of determining whether the odds they are available at make it a good value bet.
Obviously this approach is not suited to everyone, we all have our own way of doing things. This is a more ‘scientific’ approach to horse racing and because I enjoy the challenge of pitting my selection skills against the market I find this aspect of horse racing the most interesting and profitable for me personally.
The other positive aspect of ratings is that besides just highlighting 1 betting opportunity, there are sometimes many opportunities, maybe several horses in a race at decent odds that can be backed against a weak favourite that is either below the median rating figure or has strong negatives that suggest it just cannot win the race, despite what the market says to the contrary.
Regardless of what ratings you use, how you view value, how certain you are of the strength of a selection… there are going to be times when your horse or horses just don’t win. No set of ratings will guarantee success all the time. No amount of value hunting will guarantee a profit all the time. Like all things ‘horse racing’, it’s just another weapon in our armoury in the constant fight against the bookie and the market in general.
Some places to start if you are interested in looking at ratings in more detail:
* Infineform – www.infineform.com (concentrate on horses rated >= 60 and <= 85 here with LM >= 30 and CTY >= 80). The higher the HD and HG figure the better, but you want HD to be >= 80 and HG >= 50 for best effect. Good indicator for first time head-gear as well as it is highlighted.
* Timeform – www.timeform.com (Commercial service)
* Form Genie – www.formgenie.com (Commercial service – about £60 per month)
* Racing Research – www.racingresearch.co.uk (Expensive, about £10 per day, but excellent)
* Form Ratings – www.formratings.co.uk (Commercial service, untested, free trial)
There are a load more out there, it’s just a matter of looking around to see what’s on offer. The ones I have noted above I have either used in the past, or have heard good things about. Like all things, they are not guaranteed, but do provide a reasonable service. Form Genie in particular looks interesting now they have switched to a web-based system and I have used them a long time ago for a few months and found their ratings to be very good with a good number of decent price winners from their top rated and dutch selections.
Timeform again is very good, industry standard in many instances.
Racing Research is very good also, Dave Nevison use to swear by these ratings when generating his own tissue prices.

A psalm of Asaph.
The Mighty One, God, the Lord,
speaks and summons the earth
from the rising of the sun to where it sets.
From Zion, perfect in beauty,
God shines forth.
Our God comes
and will not be silent;
a fire devours before him,
and around him a tempest rages.
He summons the heavens above,
and the earth, that he may judge his people:
“Gather to me this consecrated people,
who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
And the heavens proclaim his righteousness,
for he is a God of justice.50:6 With a different word division of the Hebrew; Masoretic Text for God himself is judge50:6 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here.
“Listen, my people, and I will speak;
I will testify against you, Israel:
I am God, your God.
I bring no charges against you concerning your sacrifices
or concerning your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.
I have no need of a bull from your stall
or of goats from your pens,
for every animal of the forest is mine,
and the cattle on a thousand hills.
I know every bird in the mountains,
and the insects in the fields are mine.
If I were hungry I would not tell you,
for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
“Sacrifice thank offerings to God,
fulfill your vows to the Most High,
and call on me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you will honor me.” | <urn:uuid:bf1792e8-1cb9-4f7e-9c3c-ce17449d98bb> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.biblica.com/bible/?osis=niv%3Apsalm%2050%3A1-15 | 2024-04-19T13:26:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.969194 | 373 |
Occasionally I’ll run into someone just getting started saving that is worried about putting so much money in retirement accounts because they have a vague sense that at some point they might need access to the money in the future.
They couldn’t tell you specifically what they’ll need the funds for (perhaps a mortgage, emergency, future living expenses, etc.) but feel more “comfortable” keeping the money in a regular taxable brokerage account rather than what they perceive as locking up the money forever until they’re 59.5.
Besides missing out on all the tax arbitrage benefits of retirement accounts, the fear of locking your money away might not be as big as you think. We’ve already run the math to show that the 10% penalty in your 401(k) account isn’t even that bad if you decide to simply pay it.
But if you’re willing to do some life planning, there are a couple of other easy ways to get access to your money before you hit 59.5.
We’re going to explore one today: The Roth IRA Conversion Ladder.
The basics of the Roth IRA Conversion Ladder are pretty simple: (1) you roll pre-tax 401(k) money to a pre-tax Traditional IRA; (2) you convert pre-tax Traditional IRA money to post-tax Roth IRA. You can then withdraw the contributed amount from a Roth IRA tax and penalty free.
The Roth IRA Conversion Ladder comes with two catches.
The first is that you need to wait five years after conversion before you can withdraw the money without penalty. The second catch is that you must pay income taxes when you convert money from a pre-tax Traditional IRA to a post-tax Roth IRA.
How would this work in practice?
You have to build a ladder.
Let’s imagine a lawyer that decides to call it quits at the age of 45 and wants to access 401(k) funds before 59.5 without paying the 10% penalty. Let’s further imagine that this lawyer wants about $50,000 in annual going forward.
Here’s how the Roth IRA Conversion Ladder would look:
In the first five years you’d be building the rungs of the ladder as you convert money from a pre-tax IRA account (formerly your 401(k)) to a post-tax Roth IRA. The conversion would generate $50,000 in taxable income each year. Paying income taxes puts you in the same position as you would be if you were withdrawing 401(k) money after age 59.5.
Because of the 5-year conversion rule you wouldn’t be able to withdraw this money immediately, otherwise you’d defeat the purpose of the 10% penalty entirely. The IRS isn’t clueless as to what you’re doing!
However, the IRS thinks making you wait 5 years is enough time to keep you from taking advantage of this path around the 10%. And while that might discourage some, all it really takes is a little advanced planning.
However, you probably noticed that for years 1 through 5 you have a problem. You can’t withdraw the $50,000 while you are waiting for the money to season thanks to the 5-year conversion rule.
To solve this problem, you have two options.
The first possible solution is to begin the Roth IRA conversion five years in advance of when you’ll need the funds. The problems with this, however, is that you’ll end up adding $50,000 to your income during years when you’re working, thus subjecting that $50,000 to a high marginal tax rate. Also, you might find it logistically difficult to get the money from a 401(k) to a Traditional IRA so that you can perform the conversion. For those two reasons, this may not be the way to go.
The second solution is to withdraw the money from some other source. Again, a little planning goes a long way.
The money needed for the first 5 years could come from (i) previous Roth IRA contributions (not the backdoor kind, but direct contributions, since direct contributions can always be withdrawn without tax or penalty; (ii) withdrawals from a 457 account; (iii) savings in a regular taxable brokerage account or (iv) income from a side hustle.
Savings in a regular taxable brokerage (or savings) account seems the most likely to me.
If you saved up $250,000 in a taxable account, you could withdraw $50,000 per year for five years before your Roth IRA Conversion Ladder kicks in.
The process sounds more complicated than it is but conversions are pretty easy (Vanguard has one button to press which gets it done in about 5 minutes). After that, all it takes is a little bit of planning for you to access these funds well before you’ve hit the age of 59.5.

Core5 Powers Up With Duracell At Shugart Farms
A big-time battery-maker is putting a copper top on Shugart Farms, along with adding up to 800 new jobs to the Metro Atlanta economy.
Duracell has inked a deal to lease all of Core5 Logistics Center at Shugart Farms, at 5000 Bohannon Road in Fairburn, from Core5 Industrial Partners. Core5 broke ground last year on the spec, 874k SF warehouse.
The facility — being operated for Duracell by third-party operators Sonoco and DHL — consolidates packaging and shipping functions from other states, said Core5's Lisa Ward (here). It's close to Duracell's LaGrange manufacturing facility.
For Core5, Shugart Farms was among 7M SF in industrial pipeline bets this past year, and one that has paid off. The project, off Interstate 85 south of the city, is surrounded by a number of other big-box industrial operations, including Clorox, Smuckers, Electrolux and Amazon.com, according to Cushman & Wakefield.
Ward said total employment at the facility will vary, but at its peak, it could be to 800 people. JLL's Kris Bjorson and Bill Kee repped Duracell while Cushman & Wakefield's Ray Stache, Pat Murphy, Lisa Pittman and James Phillpott represented Core5. | <urn:uuid:cb2e82c7-8c96-4754-9aca-10a04fbc13f6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.bisnow.com/atlanta/news/industrial/duracell-inks-huge-warehouse-deal-adds-800-jobs-at-shugart-farms-69529 | 2024-04-19T11:43:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.94021 | 298 |

This book provides in-depth studies of some of the leading family law cases which have shaped modern family law in England and Wales. Family law cases tend to raise highly controversial issues, often on striking facts, frequently provoking wider social debate and/or extensive publicity. Consequently, the landmark cases chosen for this collection provide considerable scope, not only for doctrinal analysis and explanation of the importance and impact of the decisions, but also for in-depth examination of the social or policy developments that influenced them. The stories behind the cases provide a fascinating insight into the complexities of family life and the drama that can be found in the family courts of England and Wales.

The contributing authors read like a who's who of English family law scholars. The book...combines imagination and authority in its presentation and analysis. The contextualisation of the legal analysis is a particular strength: while not a fully socio-legal approach, the chapters give as much weight to the policy implications of these decisions as to their legal consistency and demonstrate how they do indeed represent turning points in the relationship between law and families.
Family law scholars outside England will find this a valuable source for understanding how England approaches issues that rouble most national family law systems, often because there are no wholly correct answers.
...few people interested in the field could fail to profit from reading it. The book is beautifully written, nicely produced and just full of intrinsically fascinating material.
Robert Dingwall, The Law and Politics Book Review, Volume 22, No.7
Landmark Cases is not overly legalistic, its appeal transcending the world of lawyers, academic and students. The re-telling of the cases includes some enjoyable prose, often peppered with colourful anecdotes that indulge the voyeuristic side of reading cases: the desire to follow the characters beyond the courtroom. Authors employ Panorama anecdotes, snippets from biographies and obituaries, quotes from novels, verse from Keats and Marvell, and even a Giles cartoon, all to entertain the professional and the general reader alike.
The book can be read cover-to-cover or chapters can be read in isolation.
Simon Edward Rowbotham, Child and Family Law Quarterly, Volume 24, No.1
There are 13 cases here, addressed by some very big names indeed...anyone with intellectual curiosity would enjoy them.
Were I an editor, contributor or publisher of this brilliant book I would want it spread, or at least read, way beyond such people both 'sideways' to other disciplines and the general public and 'down' to undergraduate students.
Chris Barton, Family Law
…a journey through the 'landmark cases' skilfully selected by the Editors of this Volume provides an effective way of making a study of the law both exciting and pleasurable. But these cases do more than that: they illustrate many of the great changes which have occurred (especially since the end of World War II) in society and in social institutions. The cases discussed also open up many of the fundamental (and often profoundly difficult) moral and social issues which have to be confronted by lawmakers and others who have to resolve them.

The Himalayan glaciers and ice caps are a source of water supply and storage for Asia. Downstream populations depend on melt water for agriculture, power production and drinking, Thakuri reports. With future research the team plans to understand the behaviour of the hydrological cycle to predict future water availability in the region.
Written by Ornela De Gasperin Quintero.
A study led by PhD student Sudeep Thakuri integrates satellite images and topographic maps to reconstruct the glacial history and analyse the extent of glacial change in the Sagarmatha National Park. They found that the glacier in this region has shrunk by 13% in the last 50 years, and the snowline shifted upward by 180 meters. The team has yet to establish what the causes of this phenomenon are, but they suspect it is caused by human-generated greenhouse gases which alter global climate. | <urn:uuid:38d1b134-dfe1-44d7-aeb7-9b88555828df> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.bluesci.co.uk/posts/extensive-glacial-retreat-in-the-mount-everest-region | 2024-04-19T12:53:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.920097 | 187 |

As the country begins to open after lockdown, it is vital that people are fully aware of the best ways to protect themselves in order to prevent a second wave of COVID-19. Social distancing is a good start to ensuring safety but, as has become clear over the last few months, it is in many cases impractical and often ignored or accidentally broken. Wearing face masks while in contact with other people is likely to significantly reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory viruses by reducing the spread of droplets carrying the virus. Therefore it is a good step towards protecting both the wearer and the people around them.In light of the new government advice to wear face coverings while on public transport, supported by WHO recommendation, it is important to consider how much protection they provide. While it is helpful to some degree for people to wear any kind of face covering, using suitable materials and having an effective design is essential for the mask to be successful. Many people are under the impression that anything in front of their face is good enough, be it a bandana, a clear plastic visor or a respirator. This may not be the case. Currently, the European standards for respirators require 99% filtration efficiency of particles between 0.02 and 2μm as well as be of a low enough resistance for the user to breathe comfortably (3mbar) . It seems reasonable that we should be creating masks that approach this effectiveness if we wish to use face masks as a successful strategy to combat the spread of the virus.
After reviewing the evidence surrounding the materials and designs for masks which people could make at home, it is clear that it can be possible for every person to equip themselves properly using materials that are easily available. Here, I provide a summary of research conducted on designing the best mask to ensure that we can protect ourselves in the best possible way. From material to design to maintenance, there are simple and effective measures that we can all take to maximise the worth of our homemade masks.
A consensus in relevant literature that investigates the filtration efficiency of various household materials is emerging, indicating that high thread-count cotton, such as that used in bedding, is a good start for homemade masks. The literature suggests that cotton of this type can provide at least 70% filtration efficiency with a sufficiently low resistance with some finding even higher efficiencies, especially with multiple layers of material. It is important to ensure that the cotton is high quality as not all cotton fabric will provide the same levels of filtration . Therefore this seems like a good place to start for creating homemade masks. Of course, the breathability of the mask is another essential factor in deciding what materials to use. This is why porous, cloth materials have been explored here.
It is thought that filtering usually occurs by two groups of methods; mechanical and electrostatic. It is thought that larger particles (1 to 10μm) are filtered by their inertial settling, medium sized particles (100nm to 1μm) are filtered by their impact into the fibres of the material and smaller particles are captured by the electrostatic attraction between the particles and the fibres of the materials. There is some evidence that materials such as silk, chiffon (polyester/spandex mix) or flannel (cotton/polyester mix) which are ineffective on their own can significantly improve the filtration efficiency to ≥90% when combined with a cotton layer . It is thought that the improvement in efficiency could be due to the combination of electrostatic and mechanical filtering.
There are many suggestions that other materials may also be effective filters. There is some evidence that vacuum cleaner bags could be effective filters and several brands, particularly those claiming to relieve allergies, make similar claims although these are unregulated and unverifiable. It could also be reasonable to incorporate air conditioning filters into masks as these are regulated by European Standards and so some (those with a H13 or higher rating) provide >99.95% filtration efficiency . However, the breathability of these materials is limited, questioning their suitability in this context.
Equipped with this information, it seems that hybrid masks are the most efficient. Using a combination of cotton and different material or household filters is the first step for creating your own protective device.
The particular design is not a primary important factor in their efficacy alone, but the fit of the mask to the users’ face certainly is. This is because an improper fit could reduce filtration efficiency by more than 60% . Proper respirators have to be fit tested for each user. Testing is conducted either by the user judging if they can taste a flavoured aerosol when they are wearing the mask or by comparing the particulate count inside and outside the mask as the user breathes . Since it is impossible for everyone to test homemade masks, it seems reasonable to look at designs which have passed fit tests by large numbers of other people. It is important to note that users are recommended to do seal checks after putting on any mask where they deeply exhale while bracing the mask against their face with their hands, and feeling if the air goes through or around the mask . This provides no guarantee but is a helpful step.
There are a huge range of fabric masks but fit tests bear out a few common themes in those that have high filtration efficacy . Effective designs commonly have structures that maintain its shape, such as a metal strip which can be fitted around the nose. These are similar to the “duckbill” designs of commercially available masks.
Some examples can be found at the following links:
- UFHealth Mask alternative - https://anest.ufl.edu/clinical- divisions/ mask- alternative/
- HKMask - https://diymask.site
- Weibel Surgical Mask - https://3dprint.nih.gov/discover/3dpx-014003
- Suay Community Mask Coalition - https://suayla.com/pages/suay-community-mask-coalition
Furthermore, a large variety of designs, usually 3D printed, have a ridged frame to which a piece of filtering material is attached. This design allows the use of stiffer materials like vacuum cleaner bags and air conditioning filters. A lot of these designs are used in hospitals in America at the moment . Those that will prove the most useful are the designs that are quick to make and require little skill to put together. As many people will know, earlier on in the pandemic the 3D printing community quickly came together to produce hundreds of thousands of visors for hospitals . It will be interesting to see how people with these skills can help as many people as possible to return safely to work in jobs that require close contact such as retail and public transport.
Some examples of printed masks can be found at the following links:
- The Montana Mask – https://makethemask.com
- Wiles Covid Pandemic Mask - https://3dprint.nih.gov/discover/3DPX-013805
And some much quicker printing designs:

- “CEG Extreme” Mask Frame - https://3dprint.nih.gov/discover/3dpx-013690
- GE Additive Community Face Mask Frame - https://3dprint.nih.gov/discover/3dpx-013512
There are many more designs that people across the world have been making which may be suitable. It is just important to think about the fit of a mask when making them.
Cleaning and Hygiene
Proper cleaning and practicing good hygiene is also essential for the use and maintenance of an effective mask. There is evidence that a successful way to clean items such as masks and clothes could be to wash them at more than 70°C for 25 minutes or to wash them at a cooler temperature with a strong disinfectant such as bleach . Some materials cannot tolerate this type of cleaning regime though, so it is important to keep in mind how the device will be cleaned when building a mask. A better method may be to heat the mask to more than 70°C with high humidity for an hour, such as by placing them in the oven at a low temperature . When cleaning items at home, it is also important to remember that surfaces such as the outside of washing machines, work tops or ovens can get contaminated and spread contamination. A last resort method of decontamination could be to leave the mask sealed in a bag at room temperature for a minimum of 5 to 7 days, although the effectiveness of this method is expected to vary greatly on how clean the mask already is .
A final factor to consider is taking the mask on and off properly to ensure that the user does not get contaminated. The guidelines from Public Health England and the CDC are clear on the importance for the user to wash their hands before and after touching the mask, to dispose of it/store it hygienically and to remove it after other protective items (e.g. gloves) .
Everyone should have access to a mask that is effective and properly protects them and everyone else around them, especially those who are more vulnerable. As we potentially move out of lockdown and into the next stages of returning to normality, it is essential to keep in mind social distancing practices, personal hygiene and the use of effective personal protection equipment. Designing a face mask that optimises filtration and is easy to clean will be a great aid in ensuring as many people as possible are protected.
Jago Strong-Wright is a second year undergraduate at St John’s College studying Physics. For a more detailed look at the factors to consider when making an effective mask he has written a more full review which is available at: https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202006.0132/v1

ITP+ Course: Temporary Exhibitions and Permanent Display
Rebecca Horton, International Training Programme Assistant
Last Monday marked the start of the first ITP+ Course, themed of the subject of Temporary Exhibitions and Permanent Display.
10 Fellows attended a week of lectures, workshops and exhibition visits from a variety of countries and across many ITP years: Anjan Dey (India, 2010), Asad Hayee (Pakistan, 2012), Bo Haikun (China, 2008), Dikko Idris (Nigeria, 2011), Ikhlas Latief (Sudan, 2006), Lydia Nafula (Kenya, 2008), Mahesh Kalra (India, 2013), Seyda Cetin (Turkey, 2014), Sharareh Farokhnia (Iran, 2015) and Yu Miao (China, 2014).
Before arrival in London Fellows were asked to fill in a project scope document, detailing an exhibition or display project they would like to work on or are working on in their institutions. The course ran from Monday 15th – Friday 19th May and the week began with presentations from Fellows about their institutions, proposed projects and challenges to overcome.
Lectures and workshops were presented by staff currently working on new exhibitions (The American Dream: Pop to the Present, Desire, love, identity: exploring LGBTQ histories and the Rodin exhibition) or developing permanent galleries (Joseph E Hotung Gallery of Oriental Antiquities and Albukhary Foundation Gallery of the Islamic World ). The speakers reflected the variety of work that goes into exhibition and display projects including curators, fundraisers, visitor insights, education and many more.
Fellows were given the opportunity to catch up with colleagues they worked with on the Summer Programme and to meet new Fellows and members of BM staff. Fellows attended the opening of the newly refurbished National Army Museum and the week was finished off with an evaluation session, project updates from the ITP team and a farewell meal.
The first ITP+ was such an enjoyable and productive week for the ITP team and Fellows. Participants will be filling in an evaluation and completing a report about their experience which we look forward to receiving and sharing on our blog.
Thank you to colleagues who made the programme possible and to the Fellows for their continued enthusiasm and engagement!! | <urn:uuid:b569d6db-9aeb-4ede-b66b-4344248a9490> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.bmitpglobalnetwork.org/2017/05/24/itp-course-temporary-exhibitions-and-permanent-display/ | 2024-04-19T13:14:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.952377 | 479 |
The FDA meeting coincides with growing concern among health professionals worldwide that COVID-19 may soon become widespread. A new Covid Vaccination strategy has been invented by them. The virus won’t go away completely, but it will become easier to predict and control. This fact has spurred widespread planning for future responses to the virus in many nations.
Four years into the pandemic, many Americans have resumed their lives as they were before the spread of COVID. The New York Times reports a 20% drop in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and test positivity in the U.S. This winter, the number of cases has been much lower than in previous winter waves. Many experts think this is because the U.S. has a high rate of population immunity from vaccination, infection, or both.
The FDA held a meeting to figure out how to streamline the vaccination process against COVID-19. It is one of the virus’s most effective countermeasures. However, the FDA has stated its desire to increase the popularity of the shots among American citizens. They aim to do it by simplifying the process for the general public.

The agency’s strategy includes polling the Vaccine and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee for input on a potential change to the vaccine composition. They administer the first dose of an mRNA vaccine like the Pfizer or Moderna shot for an unvaccinated American to protect against the virus’ ancestral strain. Monovalent vaccines are those that only work against one strain.
On the other hand, the bivalent boosters will protect against more than one strain of the virus. Use them at least two months after the primary series date to regain full protection. The last-year-developed shots target the ancestral strain and Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5. They also work against the dominant U.S. strain, XBB.1.5.
To improve the process, the committee of experts voted unanimously to make all the doses of the COVID-19 vaccine interchangeable. This means that anyone who gets a COVID shot, whether as part of the primary series or as a booster, will get the same vaccine. Vaccinees receive the bivalent booster. This new plan’s start date is unknown. The new strategy needs FDA and CDC approval. | <urn:uuid:fc6b8ca3-ec2f-4051-bbdb-b6cfa3f19ca5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.bocsnews.com/the-fda-is-suggesting-a-new-covid-vaccination-strategy/ | 2024-04-19T12:57:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.956364 | 490 |

For three women in postwar Germany, 1945 is a time of hope--lost and found--in this powerful novel by the bestselling author of The Woman on the Orient Express.
Just weeks after World War II ends, three women from different corners of the world arrive in Germany to run a Displaced Persons camp. They long to help rebuild shattered lives--including their own...
For Martha, going to Germany provides an opportunity to escape Brooklyn and a violent marriage. Arriving from England is orphaned Kitty. She hopes working at the camp will bring her closer to her parents, last seen before the war began. For Delphine, Paris has been a city of ghosts after her husband and son died in Dachau. Working at the camp is her chance to find meaning again by helping other victims of Hitler's regime.
Charged with the care of more than two thousand camp residents, Martha, Delphine, and Kitty draw on each other's strength to endure and to give hope when all seems lost. Among these strangers and survivors, they might find the love and closure they need to heal their hearts and leave their troubled pasts behind.

The LAst Footies
Wallace E Briggs
Fiction, Children's Books, Fantasy
December 5, 2016
Anthony lives in the very north of rural England. A stream babbles through his garden where he nurtures the visiting wildlife. One summer evening he rescues from the stream, it turns out, the last surviving clan of J’s which he christens “Footsies.” Their journey has ended when their raft hit rapids and threw one of their kin overboard. The Footsies are an unknown, subterranean species which has been hounded almost to extinction. The Footsies are persuaded to stay a while in the safety of his garden. Hence Anthony’s declaration: “There are no fairies at the bottom of my garden.”
This short story of approx. 2100 words is aimed at early/middle grade readers. It relates a brief history of what has become a nomadic clan of unusual creatures: the Footsies.
Anthony, an only child of school teaching parents, lives in an isolated rural country cottage, somewhere on the edge of the Border Counties in the very North of England. A stream, shaded by mature trees, runs through the bottom of the garden
Nature loving Anthony loves observing the wildlife which passes through his paradise. Many species are attracted to his garden because he nurtures them with food and treats.
One warm evening in late summer he rescues from the stream, what turns out to be, the last surviving clan of J’s which, in his own mind, he christens “Footsies.” The Footsies have no hands, nor arms, but they do have very dextrous feet.
The Footsies, a diminutive, unknown species with human speech, have been hunted almost to extinction and, now nomadic, are moving ever northward to escape detection. Their journey ended abruptly at the bottom of Anthony’s garden when their raft unexpectedly hits rapids and throws one of their kind, and their meagre belongings, overboard.
Rescued by Anthony they are persuaded to stay a while in the safety of his garden. The nocturnal J’s excavate holes and burrows in which they live, hidden during the day.
Hence Anthony’s declaration: “There are no fairies at the bottom of my garden.” | <urn:uuid:727e84cc-3698-4352-8289-b7219dfbf8d8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.booksshelf.com/books/the-last-footies | 2024-04-19T11:56:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.96081 | 496 |

PepsiCo is set to invest $400 million in Vietnam to build two new plants fuelled by renewable energy, according to Reuters.
The announcement coincided with a three-day working visit to Vietnam from over 60 US enterprises, including PepsiCo and Suntory JV, Suntory PepsiCo Vietnam Beverage.
One beverage manufacturing facility, with an estimated cost exceeding $300 million, will be situated in Vietnam’s southern Long An province. Additionally, another facility dedicated to food processing, with an investment of $90 million, will be located in the country’s northern Ha Nam province.
Reuters said that although the Vietnamese government’s report did not give details on the commissioning time for the two factories, PepsiCo had previously stated its plans to start operations at the Ha Nam facility in the third quarter of 2025, after it had been granted an investment certificate late last year.

Five Reasons to Get a Flu Shot
Let’s start with the obvious: Nobody likes getting shots. Whether it’s a phobia of needles, a low pain tolerance, or just a lack of time, there are lots of reasons you might not be psyched about getting a flu shot this fall, but the fact is, it’s really important. To prove it, we asked Dr. Paul Sax, director of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, why you should get vaccinated this season.
1. There’s no fool-proof way to predict or prevent the flu.
“The flu virus is indiscriminate. It can strike both the healthy and sick, and the young and the old,” Sax says. “It’s important to be vaccinated not only to protect our own health, but also to protect those around us. No one wants to be responsible for spreading an illness to their friends, family, co-workers, or patients.” The bottom line: Hand washing and eating plenty of vitamin C just aren’t good enough.
2. You won’t get sick after vaccination.
“You cannot get the flu from a flu vaccine,” Sax says. “Almost all people who get the influenza vaccine have no serious problems from it.” The most common side effects, he says, are simple soreness, redness, itching, swelling, or a low-grade fever, all of which should pass quickly and can be managed with over-the-counter painkillers. Allergic to eggs? There’s now an egg-free version of the vaccine.
3. Getting the flu once doesn’t mean you won’t get it again.
“Last year’s vaccine may not protect you from this year’s virus, so it is important to get a flu vaccine every year,” Sax stresses. “Flu vaccines work by triggering your immune system to produce antibodies that protect against a certain virus. Generally, the level of these antibodies decline over time.” Translation? Just because you were sick as a dog last year doesn’t mean you’re immune this year, unfortunately.
4. It’s free.
Sax says you don’t need to see your doctor to get a shot, which means it’s an option even if money (or time) is tight. Many pharmacies, workplaces, and colleges offer flu shots free of charge, so be on the lookout. The Boston Public Health Commission also keeps this handy calendar of free flu shot clinics.
5. The flu can be a serious illness.
Since the flu is so widespread every year, it’s easy to develop a cavalier attitude and think of it as a slightly more uncomfortable cold. Sax says that’s not the case. “Everyone who is at least six months of age should get a flu vaccine, but it is especially important for certain people to get vaccinated,” he says. “Studies show that those with asthma, diabetes, chronic lung disease, people younger than 5 and older than 65, and pregnant women are at higher risk of developing serious complications from the flu.” And it’s not just those groups—anybody who gets the flu is at risk for complications like pneumonia, bronchitis, and sinus and ear infections. | <urn:uuid:3eeb0efb-6c85-4ed4-9c1f-79f0b49fc3e7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.bostonmagazine.com/health/2013/10/09/do-i-need-flu-shot/ | 2024-04-19T13:19:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.956537 | 713 |
A training program in the form of progressive resistance exercise builds muscular size and strength. In order for a training routine to be productive, however, it must first provide the correct stimulus to induce an adaptive response. Second, a workout that stimulates and adaptive response must provide for recovery. Third, in order for recovery and subsequent size and strength increases to occur, nutrients, which are of limited supply in our bodies, must be provided. It is clear that the most important nutrient for recovery is protein. In particular, essential amino acids contained in complete protein sources; dairy, meats, and fish. It is well documented that essential amino acids consumed before, during, and after resistance training boost strength and size gains.
HMB is a metabolite of the essential amino acid L-leucine. During many studies on protein effects, L-leucine seemed to be the single greatest contributor to muscle protein synthesis. A recent study examined the effects of an essential amino acid based product, Muscle Armor (MA); manufactured by Abbott Laboratories contains beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate (HMB).
Seventeen healthy men were randomly assigned to one of two groups and performed twelve weeks of periodized heavy resistance training while supplementing with either MA or an isocaloric, isonitrogenous placebo (Control group (CG)). Every two weeks the subject?s strength and power were measured and blood was drawn. More-over the blood draws taken were performed pre, mid and post-training. Researchers found the MA group affected training induced changes in muscular size and strength to a significantly greater extent than the CG. Also found, was reduced levels of circulating muscle damage markers creatine kinase and malondealdehyde compared with the CG. In addition, the MA group experienced increases in resting and exercise-induced testosterone and resting growth hormone levels with reduced pre-exercise cortisol levels.

Trip to Motunui
When Walt Disney Animation Studios released Moana (2016) to a tidal wave of good reviews, the Bowers Museum was overjoyed to see Polynesian culture and art achieve broad recognition within popular culture. But as one of Southern California’s best collections of Oceanic art, it was difficult for us at the Bowers to not scrutinize the film with an eye for detail. Fortunately, this upcoming Saturday August 11, 2018, the Bowers Museum will be featuring an outdoor screening of Moana (click here for more details), an event which provides the perfect opportunity for the Bowers Blog to see exactly where Moana drew inspiration for its Polynesian aesthetic.
Te Kā Tapa
When researching Moana, the two directors spent three weeks travelling around Oceania looking to ground their fictional story in authentic Polynesian culture. In total they visited seven different island chains. Polynesian mythology is an oral history, and was never documented in artwork; so, to make the film’s exposition more visual, the team created a synthetic style of tapa—a cloth-like material most often made by pounding the bark of the paper mulberry tree until it has the proper consistency. Moana’s tapa was inspired by the bark cloth of the islands they visited, but was ultimately a creation of Walt Disney Animation Studios. The two largest influences here are siapo from Samoa, which can feature well-defined geometric borders and the ngatu cloth made on Tonga. As seen in the above detail of a massive swath of tapa, Tongans were one of the few to use zoomorphic figures in their designs, as opposed to just geometric and floral patterns.
The character of Maui seen in Moana predates the film by at least a few thousand years. As the movie explores, all of Polynesia is connected by a single cultural root. As humans spread through the islands of Polynesia they brought the story of Maui with them. Like any other living, breathing thing, stories have a tendency to change though and depictions of Maui are anything but consistent. There is no consensus on whether he was a man, demigod, or god; or even if he was just one person. What almost every version of his story agrees upon, is that Maui used a magical fish hook to pull the islands Polynesians live on from the depths of the Pacific Ocean—and that it was usually through some fairly clever tomfoolery. The immense size of the fish hook we see in Moana is a Disney innovation, but on a smaller scale it was clearly inspired by Hawaiian fish hooks, which were known for both their quality and variety. The distinctive outer barb is dead giveaway. Two demonstrative objects used in Spirits and Headhunters by the Bowers’ docents share nearly the exact same form as Maui’s hook, even down to the fiber wrapping.
Return to Voyaging
An outrigger is a secondary float attached to the main body of a canoe to stabilize the vessel, and it gives its name to canoes which have outriggers. As we see in Moana, the largest of these vessels could reach length of up to 100 feet, and more than any other single invention, it was outriggers that allowed for Polynesian island hopping. That these ships are one of Moana’s major plot points is illustrative of just how important they were to Polynesian societies. The small vessel which Moana pilots throughout the film in is based on the Fijian camakau, a relatively small outrigger with a triangular sail. The camakau was a smaller version of the Fijian drua, a vessel which could reach lengths of up to 100 feet. The Bowers Museum’s model of a drua is difficult to recognize as a counterpart to Moana’s boat, due to its lack due to its lack of a mast and sail.
In Moana we see our heroine navigate the seas using the stars, but that was just one of the means by which the inhabitants of Oceania taught wayfinding. The Marshall Islands are a Micronesian culture and not a Polynesian culture, but this navigational chart contains much of the quintessential knowledge way finders brought with them to the ocean. The Marshall Islands contains a total of 1,156 islands, so different charts were made to show the entirety of the islands, smaller chains, or were purely instructional. The cowrie shells and strips of wood represent features such as reefs, islands and currents, but reading the chart requires very specific knowledge. Unlike the techniques Moana employs, to actually take a navigational chart like this out to sea would be a sign that the navigator had no confidence in their abilities.
To see Moana and Spirits and Headhunters, and compare the two yourself, be sure to come to our outdoor screening of Moana on August 11.

This article was originally published for Forbes Agency Council.
Sadly, I'm starting to think that passing a beer or hot dog down the row at a ballgame may never be the same. Thanks to the pandemic, I believe our world has fundamentally changed.
In times like these, we roll up our sleeves, keep our heads down and get to work on saving the things we hold dear. But we have to be careful. When we only focus on saving what we have, it can divert energy from decisions that could have long-term effects on the success of an enterprise.
Now, it's time to think about what's next. It's time to help our customers and ourselves do more than survive — we must help each other thrive. How will your business be relevant in a world where digital, health, speed, customer service and social good are even more highly valued? How can you proactively shift your thinking beyond recovery and prepare for a revival?
- Look Inward, And Invest In Your Employees.
- Identify How You're Relevant.
- Deliver An Exceptional Experience.
- Communicate Your Value.
- Embrace A New Path Forward.
People tend to go (and stay) where they are valued and appreciated. Your employees may have new concerns and expectations after the pandemic ends. According to Gallup, just 54% of U.S. employees feel prepared to do their work during this crisis. How will you adjust your internal messaging, training, communications and resources to equip them with tools to thrive and show them that you care? Companies can fall into the trap of being too externally focused, when internally, they are misaligned or not meeting employee expectations.
More than ever, employees will likely expect access to top technology to help them perform, manage and communicate effectively. Are you investing in training to help them interface internally and with customers? Are you planning for how your employees will deliver on your brand promise while remaining safe? Characteristics like speed, professionalism, cleanliness and respect for all may start converging and could attract top talent — and impact your retention.
The bottom line: Your internal message should align with your external message. Make sure there's action behind your message and that your employees are living up to your promises.
Customers are already searching for new solutions to their pains, needs and wants. As a result, you may need to develop new features or update your offerings. It's a challenging exercise, but ask yourself, "Does our product or service really matter?"
If you don't look at shifting your strategy, you may miss out on opportunities. For example, if your brand has always emphasized the value of personal relationships, have you thought about how you will deliver on your promise in a world where personal interactions are different? If the physical environment is a central component of your brand (e.g., theme parks, hospitality or team sports), how will you reimagine your experience across, quite literally, all of your touchpoints?
What people will value in a post-pandemic world will likely be different. Your existing product or service might need to be updated to remain relevant. For example, Marriott Bonvoy recently sent out an email promoting an article about virtual travel.
The bottom line: Revisit your "why." Think about how you effectively address a pain, need or want in our world. Think beyond convention and maybe even the current business you're in.
The pandemic has emphasized the importance of exceptional customer experience. It's a valuable strategy to avoid becoming a commodity or, worse, becoming irrelevant.
I believe that speed and cleanliness throughout the customer experience will be of paramount importance. The airline industry, for example, may have to invest more in cleaning procedures to convince passengers that it's safe to fly. In other industries, ease of use, a touchless ordering process and speedy delivery have the potential set companies apart.
The bottom line: Conscientious customer service will likely be a real competitive advantage. Think about ways you can provide seamless and superior service, even from a safe distance.
Branding isn't all marketing and sales. It's about positioning your company in a way that customers can see the true value of your product or service.
Maybe your product is still relevant, but customer perception has shifted. KFC recently ran a TV ad in the U.K. that's based on its once timeless "Finger Lickin' Good" tagline and had to pull it due to the pandemic. Update your story to ensure a positive perception of your brand and get customers to see your product in a new way.
If you do make a shift in your product or service, think about how customers will respond. Will they trust that your shift is genuine and that your product can live up to a new standard? New or repackaged offerings may require updated messaging to reclaim a unique position in the market, followed by a refresh for all of your brand touch points. Most importantly, you have to safely deliver on the new promises you're making — or customers won't come back.
The bottom line: If needed, shift and present your product in a new, compelling story that balances empathy with real value. Make sure your story is true and relevant — and that your offering delivers on what's promised.
As customers continue to expect instant updates and gratification, speed will become a competitive edge. Brands that aren't able to adopt this advantage will likely lose market share to competitors that can provide the real-time, reactive services that consumers have come to expect.
Your brand will need to respond, anticipate and create faster than ever to succeed. The world is becoming more competitive than ever — if you're not quick and smart, you're dead. However, these new technologies create unparalleled opportunities for those willing to embrace them.
Brands will be challenged to keep up as these trends continue to compound. While there's great opportunity to differentiate around things like service and personalization, it will take a great deal of discipline to keep up with changing technology and the expectations of consumers. It's a brave new world for organizations as they work to understand the changing expectations of their customers while adopting smarter, faster and more responsive technology.

Talbott Farms is a leading, family-run agricultural company located in Palisade, on the Western Slope of Colorado. The family has been farming for six generations, over 100 years, since 1907. They are the state’s largest grower of those world renowned, always sought after Palisade peaches. Talbott also is the state’s largest grower of wine grapes, supplying some 34 wineries. In total, the family farms over 500 acres.
Working with the Talbotts, Brandwerks first developed a strategic plan to help evolve the company from its deep agricultural roots into a vertically-integrated and market-driven beverage company. We identified 10 viable beverage concepts, the first of which was a wine spritzer, made with real juice and premium wine from the family’s own orchards and vineyards.

California’s Attorney General, Xavier Becerra, filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court Friday, countering the Trump administration’s request to reconsider a liberal judge’s ruling that keeps the rescinded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in place.
Barack Obama-appointed Federal District Judge William Alsup issued an order keeping DACA in force nationwide last month, despite the executive branch’s decision to discontinue President Barack Obama’s constitutionally questionable program.
Solicitor General Noel Francisco quickly made good on Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s pledge to take the unusual step of bypassing the notoriously left-leaning U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and asking the Supreme Court to step in to overturn Alsup’s order. On January 23, the high court granted Francisco’s petition.
On Friday, Becerra answered Francisco’s petition, as the Supreme Court gave him leave to do, on behalf of his own “sanctuary state” of California, as well as his fellow Democratic Attorneys General in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, and others. The response argues that the case, which is forcing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to keep DACA up and running, is not “of such imperative public importance as to justify deviation from normal appellate practice” and therefore ineligible to go directly to the Supreme Court under Supreme Court Rule 11.
The brief argues not only that DACA is constitutional, but that there is “no such emergency” justifying the direct petition to the Supreme Court because DACA recipients have already been in the country for years. Most surprisingly, the brief refers to illegal aliens shielded from deportation by DACA as “Americans,” arguing:
Without [Judge Alsup’s] injunction, thousands of DACA recipients would lose their work authorization and deferred action status in March 2018 and thousands more the next month, and each succeeding month, until nearly three-quarters of a million young Americans would be shunted back into the shadows of our society. As the district court found, this would profoundly damage the individual plaintiffs, the States and the other entity plaintiffs, our communities, our educational institutions, our businesses, and the entire Nation. (citations omitted)
Becerra, California’s top law enforcement official, is a fervent advocate for illegal aliens and the use of “sanctuary city” policies to frustrate federal immigration enforcement. He has gone as far as to threaten California employers who cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with prison time. In President Trump’s first year in office, California has sued the Trump administration more than two dozen times. Trump, meanwhile, has repeatedly acted swiftly to disperse federal emergency aid to California.
The original lead plaintiff suing to reverse President Trump’s decision to cancel DACA is Janet Napolitano, Obama’s DHS secretary, who initially oversaw DACA’s rollout. She is now President of the Univsersity of California and is suing in that capacity, alleging the decision to end DACA violates the Administrative Procedure Act. Her lawyers also filed a brief aiming to stop the Supreme Court from immediately taking the case Friday.
The Napolitano brief also implies illegal aliens are “Americans.” The respondents argue that the main posited government justification for ending DACA – that the program is likely illegal and the government ought to stop breaking the law – is a mere pretext for what they see as a constitutionally impermissible goal: benefiting what they call “non-immigrant Americans” to the detriment of illegal aliens. The lawyers, from the prestigious Washington, DC, firm of Covington & Burling, write that their clients
claim that Petitioners’ proffered reason for rescinding DACA — that it is illegal or posed intolerable “litigation risk” — is pretextual, and that the actual reasons were . . . unsupported assertions that DACA recipients are taking jobs away from non-immigrant Americans and present risks of crime and even terrorism.
The next Supreme Court conference day is Friday, February 16. A decision on whether to consider Judge Alsup’s order preserving DACA may come shortly thereafter.
The case before the Supreme Court is U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security v. Regents of the Univ. of Calif., No. 17-1003, on appeal from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. | <urn:uuid:9d2a0688-b9aa-424d-b83d-43809d640aeb> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/02/06/sanctuary-states-ask-scotus-ignore-administration-keep-daca-place/ | 2024-04-19T13:01:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.947805 | 920 |
Ohio State K-9 College
When I started in this profession, I knew I would change the face of dog training forever! I have always had a deep love for dogs since I was a child. I've watched trainers from all over the world work with dogs and couldn't fathom why I had to "choke, etc" my best friend to make him OBEY me. I was always told "Well, that's just the way it has to be done or the dog won't RESPECT you," but I just COULDN'T agree. So, when I founded Ohio State K-9 College in 1978, I was determined to find a better way!
It's been 30+ years since and I still run the whole business by myself, because quality is not secondary to me and never will be. So rest assured that all consultations, all training, and all evaluations here will continue to be done by A REAL PROFESSIONAL.
My most important goal is for you to achieve and permanently maintain first command performances off-leash, especially with the come command. I’m always striving for your perfection; remember, anything less than this 100% control could actually cost your dog its life! In most cases, it eventually does! After knowing all the facts, can you settle for anything less than the quality of training offered at Ohio State K-9 College? I’m proud to say I have dedicated 12 hours a day, 5-6 days a week, for the past 30+ years being a Master Trainer. | <urn:uuid:231eb81b-e633-4b71-8a53-0945a3bc621d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.bringfido.com/resource/19802 | 2024-04-19T12:43:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.983358 | 316 |

I've heard stories of people on the Camino getting rid of things, even if they were things that they really needed, because it was just getting too heavy to carry. My experience was similar but slightly different. It was more about what I chose to continue carrying and what it meant. Everyone's journey is personal and unique. This is mine.

I uploaded a game made on buildbox classic a few days ago, but today google sent me a rejection email, they say that I violated their ad content policy, they said this: The ad content in your app is not consistent with the app's content rating. To resolve this issue, please remove content not consistent with your app’s rating and/or retake the content rating questionnaire. If you monetize your app, please ensure you’ve excluded ads from sensitive categories. But the problem is I don't even have ads in my game at all! It's not monetized, should I tell google that you made a mistake? What should I tell them exactly?
If there's no ads I would try to resubmit or re-check you answers on the data questionnaire for sure. Also re-check the file for any ads as well.
If no ads are selected we certainly wouldn't be serving any. We don't force ads to show in ad-less games
I have a similar issue but it is because I don't know how to answer the data safety question since adbox is buildbox ads. the questions are about the ads in the game, so only the team who had created adbox can answer them. I emailed support, its been over a month I got noting, bassically I can't publish my App. another issue I have Buildbox doesn't recognize one of my apps Bundle ID. so, every time I tried to update the app it says that this look like a new Bundle ID that I need to claim it. If I continue without claiming it, another message pop up says that I have to remove Adbox and if do claim it, I got a message that says THIS BUNDLE ID DOESN'T FOLLOW GOOGLE PLAY CONSOLE GUIDELINES if continue Buildbox change link which cause the build to fail because the link doesn't match. contacting Buildbox via email and on discord and got nothing. there's a game I finished since July 2021, I've been trying to put it on my phone, it's gonna be a year now and still can't, the build failed in Xcode and Android Studio. no one can help. I want you guys to understand, I'm paying every year and can't get anything done, it's like what is the point.
Hi Sean, thanks for your help, but I found the problem, when we have the "our apps" button, it takes players to play store or app store right? to Google it's considered an ad, I will remove it soon and submit an update again, trust me a lot of experienced developers have told me this, but I kept saying My game has No ads!

The challenge was to design a home (and perhaps a garden) for a favourite fictional character reflecting the character and needs of the owner. So, for example, Winnie the Pooh may need plenty of storage space for his jars of honey whereas Harry Potter may need a bird house for his owl Hedwig in the garden – Elsa from Frozen could want a cold room with lots of ice sculptures and Moana might like to be near the ocean. Designs were judged not just on their artistic merit but on how imaginative the work is. At the Building Centre we encourage architects and developers to consider carefully what materials they use for their projects and the impact they are having on the environment, so children were encouraged children to think about the sustainability of their design too.
We are delighted to announce that Poppy is the winner of the 4-9 age category with her design of a home for Lotta and Sophia is the winner of the 10-14 age category with her design of a treehouse for Squirrel Nutkin.
The runners up for the 4-9 category are Rosa and Aarvi, and for 10-14 Seth, Ria and Zara.
You can view the winners, runners up, and all the fantastic and imaginative entries in the virtual gallery below. You can also download them all as a pdf from the bottom of this page.
The entries were judged by our panel - Ella Beech, Lucy Brownridge, Alisha Morenike Fisher and Stephanie Nebbia - chaired by Colin Tweedy.

The Gilmore Avenue Sewer Separation Project is part of Omaha’s Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) program designed to improve the city’s water quality.
Our team was hired to help the city remove stream flows from the combined sewer system and provide neighborhood sewer separation to meet the CSO program’s goals. The project included a watershed of approximately 350 acres and features the design and construction of:
A regional detention basin
3,000 linear feet of large diameter storm sewer interceptor
New storm and sanitary sewer collections systems covering 150 acres
Green infrastructure to improve water quality and attenuate flows
More than half of the watershed is located in Bellevue, Nebraska, south of Omaha. A small, intermittent drainage conveys flow from Bellevue to the Omaha CSO. When analyzing the watershed and downstream infrastructure, our team determined the downstream infrastructure was undersized to convey the design storm and separate the neighborhood sewers. To address this issue, the design team analyzed the watershed with a regional detention basin and a lower level level of service. The level of service for the separation area is better than existing conditions, allows for full separation of the neighborhood, and provides for additional capacity in the downstream infrastructure to allow future separation.
The existing 60-inch brick sewer is being replaced by an 84-inch reinforced concrete pipe storm sewer and 18-inch clay sanitary sewer. The regional detention basin will store the 10-year event, and safely pass the 100-year event through the auxiliary spillway. The design level of service for the project is a five-year design storm.
The 84-inch storm sewer crossed two mainlines of the Union Pacific Railroad and beneath a Nebraska Department of Roads viaduct. The large diameter storm will be tunneled under the railroad and tie in to an existing stub-out from a previous project. Because the project watershed spanned two cities and counties, significant coordination was performed to keep an open dialog with both communities for design and public engagement issues. | <urn:uuid:c415da7a-cb7f-4915-b566-2972bdef660e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.burnsmcd.com/projects/gilmore-avenue-sewer-separation | 2024-04-19T13:01:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.933317 | 406 |

The Victoria Building
The Victoria Building, dubbed, “The most beautiful shopping centre in the world,” by Pierre Cardin. This iconic building was built in 1898. The original purpose for the building was to give a permanent location for the Sydney Markets. The gorgeous building is filled with stained glass windows and wood panelling with dome ceilings indicative of the time period in which it was built.
There are over 200 shops in the current configuration. The building was remodelled in 1984. It was updated but the designers retained the charm from the original building while giving it all the conveniences of a modern building.
The ground floor is filled with old world shops. This is where you will find some of the most interesting and eclectic shopping in all of Sydney. The shopping is fabulous, but the building itself draws visitors from all over who appreciate grand architecture. Old world charm meets modern convenience. The Victoria Building is not to be missed by anyone who enjoys shopping.
The birthplace of Australia is a section of Sydney referred to as “The Rocks”. This part of the city is the oldest section and is heritage protected. The streets are cobblestone and the shop fronts are classic. You can find antiques and homewares throughout The Rocks that are distinctly Australian. The Rocks is one of the best places to go hunting for your favorite designer or for up and coming designers. The Rocks is a mecca for designers and they flock here for inspiration and because Sydneysiders already know they where to go to find the latest in fashions for both men and women. In addition to clothing designers you will also discover jewelers that make one of a kind pieces using Australia’s famous black opals.
Before colonial times Aborigines settled in the area for thousands of years. Aboriginal artefacts are among the unique items that can be found for sale in The Rocks.
From art galleries, chocolates, wine cellars, cafes, fashion designers, and antique sellers there is something for everyone to be found by visiting The Rocks.
Farmers Markets are so prevalent and popular in Sydney that there is a comprehensive website as your guide to the location, days, and times of markets all over Sydney. Farmers Markets provide Sydneysiders with organic and locally grown produce. These markets give all consumers the opportunity to buy directly from the farmer. Ingredients that are fresh have more nutrients and taste better. If you have not been to a farmers market before there is no better place to begin than Sydney, you will become a fan for life. If you are accustomed to using farmers markets to shop you must check out the ones available in Sydney as they are a leader in this arena.
You can find markets every weekend, and some during the week, while others are held at night. You will find markets available on nearby beaches, at The Rocks, the CBD, and in outlying suburbs. See the Local Market Guide for the market nearest you, or the one that looks the most appealing. Each one is a little different.
Treasure Hunting – Second Hand
The Rozelle Markets started in 1991 and is now known as Sydney’s favourite second hand market. Heritage protected Rozelle Public School hosts the market every weekend and the market currently draws over 100 stalls with goods ranging from clothing, jewelry, art, crafts, housewares, antiques, electronics and more stuff.
The Rozelle Markets draw people from the filmmaking industry because of the immense variety of goods that pops up at the Rozelle Markets. Props for TV and movies can range from ancient telephones, to robotic looking toys that are supposed to be futuristic. Serious collectors love going through the piles and piles of odd things on display looking for the ideal bargain. Keep your eyes open, and you ears sharp for bargains of a lifetime. You never know what you may find. One man’s trash is another mans treasure.

The chief executive of a Manchester-based printing and software firm has stepped down after a deal to sell one of its divisions for more than £3m was announced.
Peter Gunning has left his position at Grafenia with immediate effect after the group revealed a deal to sell Works Manchester to Rymack Sign Solutions.
The divested company used to be called Image Everything while the buyer trades as PFI Group.
Grafenia confirmed it will receive a cash consideration of £3.165m through the deal.
The business added that Mr Gunning will continue to be involved as a consultant of Nettl Systems.
He will also take on a master licence for WorksThing and Nettl in Spain.
The board has appointed group chief operating officer Gavin Cockerill as its acting chief executive.
Mr Gunning said: "Nearly a quarter of a century ago we opened our first store in Edinburgh.
"It's been a great privilege to build and develop a business in such a time of intense change.
"And now it's time for me to start something new. To bring Nettl and WorksThing to the businesses of Spain.
"For the last decade, I've worked flowery-jacket to complicated-gilet with Gavin.
"I wish him and the team every success. I'd also like to thank our teams for their energy, good humour and attitude, particularly through dark days.

Hotels in Wales will be able to keep serving guests after the Christmas Day cut off for hospitality.
First Minister Mark Drakeford announced this week that hospitality had to close from 6pm on Christmas Day.
This restriction is coming in ahead of Wales moving into alert Level 4 on December 28.
From this date all holiday accommodation must close.
But hotel owners were seeking clarification whether they can keep serving guests food and drink after the Christmas Day cut-off.
This was a big issue for sites with guests booked for breaks over the festive period.
UK Hospitality now says it has been told they can keep hospitality open for guests until the end of December 27.
The ban on serving alcohol remains in place.
Executive Director Wales at UK Hospitality Cymru David Chapman said: "Following successful representations by UKHospitality Cymru, Welsh Government have now informed us that hotels can remain open for residential guests as booked and provide them with meals until midnight on December 27th, when they have to have completed their departure."

- Season four of "The Crown" follows the British royal family in the 1970s through the early '90s, and stars actress Emma Corrin, 24, as Princess Diana.
- Corrin told journalist Tamron Hall that the experience of being in the spotlight for her portrayal of Princess Diana is "sort of a parallel experience" to the paparazzi attention Ladi Di faced.
- Corrin also addressed criticism of "The Crown" by saying that the show is rooted in history but fictionalized.
- "All of the cast, we want to constantly remind people that we approach these people that we play as characters," Corrin said.

Season four of "The Crown" follows the British royal family in the late 1970s to early '90s, and scratches the surface of the marriage between Princess Diana, played by Emma Corrin, and Prince Charles, played by Josh O'Connor.
Corrin, 24, has been thrust into the spotlight for her portrayal of Princess Diana in the latest season of the Netflix series that has followed the rise of Queen Elizabeth II and the evolution of the royal family.
Prior to landing her role on "The Crown," Corrin had few acting credits, but she's quickly become known for her portrayal of Lady Di and what many viewers of the show are calling an uncanny resemblance to the late Princess of Wales.
Corrin described playing Princess Diana and facing the spotlight outside of the show as a 'parallel experience'
In a recent interview on the "Tamron Hall Show," Corrin told the journalist about what it's been like to portray Princess Diana — who attracted a kind of paparazzi attention that was new for a member of the royal family at the time — while also experiencing life in the spotlight beyond the show.
"Did you have any idea when you landed the role of Diana that it would come with this kind of attention?" Hall asked.
"I think I had kind of an idea that it would, but you can't ever know until it happens, I suppose," Corrin told Hall. "I remember one of the directors who was there when I got the part saying: 'Anything that happens between now and, well, I guess when it comes out ... if you end up in the paper or people start taking photographs of you or recognizing you, and you start feeling anxious about it or scared at all, just use it because that's what Diana would have been feeling.'"
Corrin added that while she was filming, it was something that was on my mind quite a lot because obviously, it is sort of a parallel experience."
Corrin also addressed critics of 'The Crown' who say it's not historically accurate
Like many shows in the historical fiction genre, "The Crown" takes creative liberty with scenes and elements of the series.
For example, in an episode from season four, the show tells the story of a man, Michael Fagan, who broke into the Queen's bedroom in Buckingham Palace, which really happened — but the series' portrayal showed a more lighthearted interaction between Fagan and the Queen than in real life.
Other elements of "The Crown" have been disputed by experts. Hugo Vickers, a royal historian and author of "'The Crown' Dissected," told Insider's royals reporter Mikahila Friel that season four of the show falsely portrays Prince Charles and his affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles (now Camilla, Duchess of Wales).
When asked by Hall if she understands critics of "The Crown," Corrin said that she and the rest of the show's cast want to remind people that the show is fictional.
"The series that we're in is fictionalized to a great extent. Obviously, it has its roots in reality, but Peter Morgan's scripts are works of fiction," Corrin told Hall. "At the same time, I understand why people would be upset because this is history, and even with Diana, it's still very much fresh, I suppose."
She added that the cast wants "to constantly remind people that we approach these people that we play as characters, which is why it's such a joyous job."

IN ONE of the most highly anticipated fundraising events of the year, 12 CEOs will go from boardroom to ballroom in the 2016 Dancing CEOs competition next month to help raise money for the prevention of domestic violence.
Two of Brisbane's finest legal minds are among the bunch, with Clarissa Rayward of the Brisbane Family Law Centre and Amelia Hodge of the Queensland Law Society set to kick off their Sunday shoes and cut loose in support of the Women's Legal Service (WLS).
Natalie Davidson of WLS Queensland says the event is shaping up to be one of the best Dancing CEO competitions yet, with proceeds to be directed at operating the organisation's national helpline for domestic violence and complex family law matters.
"All funds from the event will keep the new WLS Helpline running," says Davidson.
"The Helpline costs $200,000 per year to operate, and we only have funding for the Helpline until July."
Since the Helpline began in January this year, Davidson says the WLS has been able to answer five times the amount of calls and has booked in more than 300 appointments for women at risk.
Dance lessons and choreography are well under way at Mad Dance House, with the CEOs set to perform on the night before three esteemed judges, TV Presenters Damien Anthony Rossi and Liz Cantor alongside master-jeweller Karl Schwantes of Xennox Diamonds.
Network Ten's Josh Holt and media personality Michelle Anderson will co-emcee the event to be held at Brisbane's City Hall on April 15, officially supported by the Lord Mayor.
A raffle will also be held at the dance-off, with a Hyundai Accent as the major prize.
The WLS works to assist more than 3700 women and their children who have been affected by domestic violence each year. WLS estimates another 16,000 people a year remain unassisted due to its limited resources.

Dr. Dre is one of music's most prolific and venerated producers, but behind his trove of industry triumphs is a problematic past. Since the '90s, his career has been trailed by reports of concerning incidents of violence against women, including the 1991 assault of journalist Dee Barnes, as well as searing accusations from ex-girlfriend Michel'le and onetime labelmate Tairrie B.(Dre plead no contest to misdemeanor battery against Barnes, and was fined, sentenced to community service, and given probation; he has denied Michel'le's allegations via his lawyer, and does not appear to have commented in the press regarding Tairrie B's claims. She never pressed charges.)
Save for a contentious statement of apology to The New York Times in 2015, Dre has only vaguely alluded to the allegations, but in HBO's new docuseries, The Defiant Ones, he addressed them in depth, if not in specifics — a startling frank testimony literally decades in the making. (Bustle has reached out to Dr. Dre for further comment on the allegations and his apology in The Defiant Ones, but has not yet received a response.) He said in the documentary:
"I've done a lot of stupid sh*t in my life, a lot of things that I wish I could go and take back. I've experienced abuse. I've watched my mother get abused. So there's absolutely no excuse for it. No woman should ever be treated that way. Any man that puts his hands on a female is a f*ckin idiot. He's out of his f*ckin mind, and I was out of my f*ckin mind at the time. I f*cked up. I paid for it. I'm sorry for it, and I apologize for it ... It's a major blemish on who I am as a man, and every time it comes up, it just makes me feel f*cked up. It's like, what do I do? What do I do to get rid of this dark cloud? I don't know what else to do. I'm learning. I'm trying to become a better person, become a better man."
It's a crucial and affecting moment, but it's also a course correction of sorts. When Straight Outta Compton — a biopic co-produced by Dre about the pioneering rise of his former rap group, N.W.A. — was released in 2015, it was chastised by many for glossing over what many believe to be misogynistic lyrics and outright ignoring the allegations against Dre. In response to the backlash, Dre told the Times in the aforementioned piece that he was sorry, that he "deeply regret[ted]" what he did, and that he was working every day to "never resemble that man again."
Dre neglected to mention any of the women he said he'd "hurt" by name, but it was nonetheless a monumental revelation from a man who had previously dodged, disregarded, and even bragged about his violent past ("It ain't no big thing – I just threw her through a door," he told Rolling Stone of his behavior toward Barnes in 1991). Michel'le publicly questioned the sincerity of Dre's eventual apology, noting that he didn't speak directly to any of the women that had accused him of assault and that it seemed prompted by a need for good publicity. Barnes, however, wrote in an essay for Gawker that his motivations were irrelevant, it was the act that mattered. She said:
"Is Dre himself really remorseful or just saving face? To me, the answers to these questions matter less than the fact that Dre stepped up and performed his social responsibility by finally taking accountability for his actions."
And in The Defiant Ones, her point stands. Whether or not Dre has genuinely atoned for his self-proclaimed mistakes, they are an integral part of who he is, what he represents. To overlook them would be to excuse physical violence, to prioritize success over human decency, and to erase Barnes' story, as well as those of the countless other women who have been subject to abuse at the hands of others.
"It was as if I had ruined his career by being that disturbing footnote in his legacy," Barnes said in The Defiant Ones of the fallout that came from taking Dre to court. She continued:
"But I went through the anger and the dismay. I worked those things out to where I got to a place of peace. Forgiveness is not really about the other person. Forgiveness is for you. You do it for yourself, because what are you gonna do with all of that anger?"
It's a small, albeit overdue victory for the documentary and Dr. Dre himself to address the allegations, but one that's no less necessary than it was 20, 10, or even two years ago. Though influential, much of N.W.A.'s music is unapologetically misogynistic, and seems to normalize violence against women — particularly black women — with abandon, as does Dre's previous dismissal of his transgressions. There's no rewriting history (or records) but the more we condemn it, the less merit it has, and having Dre be even a semi-active part of that conversation makes it a hell of a lot more powerful. | <urn:uuid:9127813b-1779-411d-8db8-2bf03bdfe05b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.bustle.com/p/dr-dre-apologizes-for-his-abusive-past-in-the-defiant-ones-furthers-conversation-about-assault-in-the-process-68457 | 2024-04-19T13:29:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.989227 | 1,088 |
In a nutshell
Addressing comments made by the Russian military regarding the breakaway Moldovan state of Transnistria, Zelenskyy warned that the invasion of Ukraine would just be the beginning of Russian military operations, adding that Putin had intentions to invade nearby countries.
“This only confirms what I have said many times: the Russian invasion of Ukraine was intended only as a beginning, then they want to capture other countries,” the Ukrainian leader said.
“Of course, we will defend ourselves for as long as necessary in order to break this ambition of the Russian Federation. But all the peoples that believe in the victory of life over death like we do, have to fight alongside us, have to help us,” he added.
This warning came as a result of comments made by the acting commander of Russia’s central military district, Rustam Minnekayev, who said on Friday that Russia’s new goal was to fully gain control of southern Ukraine which would then give access to Transnistria, where Russian forces have been stationed since the 1990s.
It was not confirmed if this is official Kremlin policy.
Moldova expressed “deep concern” at Minnekayev’s comments that the Russian-speaking citizens in the breakaway region of Transnistria are being oppressed. Zelenskyy further warned that Moscow may use these claims to justify a false flag invasion of the region.
Moldova’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement, “These statements are unfounded and contradict the position of the Russian Federation supporting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Moldova, within its internationally recognized borders.” | <urn:uuid:ee7e68ec-70f6-4317-b92f-0c9290f63bc3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.buzz.ie/news/world-news/zelenskyy-says-russia-aims-to-26779127 | 2024-04-19T13:01:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.969162 | 348 |

For the amount of impact they give, crotons are certainly a good investment for home landscapes. Depending on the size you buy, they will reach 2 feet tall and perhaps a little wider. The heat and humidity prevalent in much of Georgia create the perfect conditions to allow crotons to thrive. Wherever I look, whether grown with elephant ears, hibiscus or the Hawaiian ti plant, crotons look festive and tropical. | <urn:uuid:59a2ee6b-1446-4238-8870-ba060dabe0b6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.caes.uga.edu/news-events/news/browse/keyword/15271/Perennials/page3.html | 2024-04-19T11:40:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.918221 | 93 |
The following comes from a May 23 story in the LA Times.
The Los Angeles city attorney’s office announced Monday that it is aggressively enforcing a new state law requiring pregnancy clinics to inform clients of their reproductive rights.
City Atty. Mike Feuer said his office is working in coordination with the Los Angeles County Department of Consumer and Business Affairs to ensure clinics follow the law because “women need timely, accurate and complete information” on their family planning options.
“We’re not going to wait,” Feuer told reporters. “Waiting for a day or a week or a month to enforce this law threatens the health and safety of women who during that time period may not be informed of their choices.”
The law, dubbed the Reproductive Fact Act, requires licensed facilities primarily providing family planning or pregnancy-related services to notify customers that the state offers free or low-cost access to a variety of family planning services, including prenatal care, abortion and contraception.
Unlicensed facilities offering pregnancy-related services must provide notice that they are not licensed by the state as medical facilities and have no medical personnel overseeing services under the new law, which went into effect in January.
Pregnancy centers that fail to follow the law could face a $500 fine for the first offense and $1,000 for each subsequent violation, the city attorney’s office said.
Feuer’s office sent notices to six pregnancy centers last week as the first step in ensuring the law is enforced, he said, because other clinics in the state have tried to dissuade women from terminating pregnancies.
It is not clear whether the six clinics that received letters have violated the law, according to the city attorney’s office. The letters simply serve as notices that the clinics have to comply with the law, Feuer said…. | <urn:uuid:55e7c431-d6d9-4a68-b962-3220a51944da> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.cal-catholic.com/l-a-city-attorney-goes-after-pregnancy-counseling-centers/ | 2024-04-19T12:53:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.968042 | 380 |
CSKA name price tag for Arsenal and Juventus target
As reported by Corriere.it, the Russian team want at least €25m in order to let go of their starlet. The World Cup in Russia will certainly e an opportunity for the teams interested to observe the player' progress, although there's always the risk of the price rising.
Juventus and Arsenal are both monitoring the situation of Golovin, who scored seven goals for CSKA Moscow this past season, contributing to six.
At the age of 22, Golovin has made 19 appearances for Russia's first team, and is expected to be a key player for the hosts of World Cup 2018 this summer. Should he have a good tournament, then €25m could be a bargain. | <urn:uuid:e28a5248-c131-4e76-b18b-bd302073a6e9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/cska-name-price-tag-for-arsenal-and-juventus-target-46465 | 2024-04-19T11:30:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.961721 | 156 |

AC Milan have confirmed that defender Pierre Kalulu has undergone surgery for a torn tendon and will be out of action for at least four months.
The club were already concerned when he limped off in the opening minutes of the 2-2 draw with Napoli at the weekend. He required a specialist consultation which confirmed a complete rupture of the left rectus femoris tendon. Kalulu underwent surgery yesterday in Finland, performed by Professor Lasse Lempainen in the presence of Milanese medical chief Stefano Mazzoni, and it was “a complete success”. The recovery time indicated in the press release is estimated at “around four months”. This is a major blow, as Kalulu has already missed several games this season due to another muscle injury. | <urn:uuid:a00b9762-c2b7-4d4e-b8bb-a3528b430e28> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.calciomio.net/pierre-kalulus-unavailability-from-ac-milan-confirmed-id-3207 | 2024-04-19T13:20:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.967033 | 164 |

A lifeline for blue badge holders on Mill Road bridge?
Experimental traffic regulation orders - ETROs are widely used in the county’s recently announced temporary cycle and pedestrian schemes including the one that has barred cars from crossing Mill Road bridge - have considerable flexibility. They can be adapted quickly where problems occur - even before the first six-month review of the new experimental travel arrangements takes place. This may prove useful to those who have sensitivities about not being able to drive the full length of Mill Road.
Where there are safety concerns then changes can be agreed within seven days and extra modifications made within another seven days, according to Matthew Danish, a trustee of Cambridge Cycling Campaign, who told the Cambridge Independent: “The law allows for experimental traffic regulation orders to be modified at any time within that six-month consultation period.”
This might mean that blue badge holders could get clearance to cross Mill Road bridge even before the end of the first six-month period for the new travel arrangements.
This week has seen an increased appreciation of the scale of the measures, with around 90 new modifications being implemented or due to be implemented.
One of the first to be put in place is on Mill Road, a usually busy shopping street close to the city centre. In a Cambridge Independent poll which asked how the new pedestrian schemes would affect shopping habits 50 per cent said they would visit Mill Road less often, 36 per cent said they would visit more often and 14 per cent said it would not affect their visits.
One point of comparison has been last year’s closure of Mill Road bridge to enable rail service improvements, but Councillor Linda Jones of Petersfield ward says that the circumstances of last summer’s closure of Mill Road bridge while rail improvement work went on was not an accurate reflection of how this year’s scheme would work.
“Gas works on the pavements caused major disruption,” she said, “and the fire at the electrical store shut down even more of the road. To attract people back to Mill Road this summer we need to make it feel safe to walk and cycle. A lot of older people have also said that the pavements have deteriorated badly, with broken paving stones and potholes not repaired, so that, with social distancing, queuing for shopping and the traffic - it all makes people nervous.”
This week both Camcycle and Extinction Rebellion called for blue badge holders to be able to cross Mill Road bridge. Cambridgeshire County Council recommends that the blue badge holders and their representatives and carers (where relevant) need to apply via the feedback mechanism for the ETROs, and that would be considered in six months, when the first period of the 18-month experimental project ends and adjustments can be made.
Speaking to the Cambridge Independent, a county council spokesperson said: “Looking into the detail of the technicalities isn’t something we’d want to do at this stage, what we’ll do is wait for the feedback to come in and then work from there.
“It’s an experimental road traffic situation. If we get the feedback through that will be considered. We’d have to see if organisations including Mill Road Traders and Camcycle provide the feedback, so it’s not something we can speculate on at this time.”
There is another component to the blue badge story which presents a technical challenge for the automatic number plate recognition system.
“Blue badges belong to individuals, regardless of whether they are a car drivers or not,” says blue badge holder Suzanne Morris. “They can be used by friends and relatives when giving the blue badge holder a lift etc. So they aren’t tied to a car, but an individual, so not sure how easy access would be given, or if a barrier would be needed, like a car park entrance, but that would drive bus drivers mad. Surely there is an answer with all the technology there is about?!
“I guess it all depends on where the ‘buses-only’ section would start. Blue badges are access to facilities and parking-related, as far as I know, not a green light to drive through town in less time than everyone else.” | <urn:uuid:777f4b70-31b3-4e4a-a55b-35ff56db8659> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.cambridgeindependent.co.uk/news/a-lifeline-for-blue-badge-holders-on-mill-road-bridge-9114361/ | 2024-04-19T12:00:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.956974 | 880 |

Reporter for The Canyon Weekly
A second open house has been set up for community members to hear about plans for a skate park in Mill City.
The meeting is set for 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 12, at Stewart’s Hall, 158 SW Broadway St., in the Odd Fellows building. The event is hosted by Santiam Kids and Tourism Effort (SKATE).
An earlier event was held Oct. 29, but organizer Beverly Thacker noted that that session was held on a Saturday afternoon, “a busy time for lots of folks. We hope to give more people an opportunity to get involved with a weeknight evening meeting.”
SKATE plans to build the skatepark behind the Odd Fellows building in a city-owned space now used as a parking lot. The Oddfellows contributed $5,000 for engineering and design.
The skatepark project consists of three phases: an 1,800-square-foot bowl; an additional 4,200 square feet that includes a bump, ledge banks, a mini spine and a one-quarter pipe as well as additional security fencing; permanent bathrooms, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, landscaping and parking.
The facility is projected to cost $500,000. SKATE has $50,000 in hand and thinks it can secure an additional $50,000 in donated materials and labor, but Mill City is requiring that the organizers secure funding for the entire project before it can begin.
“Which means,“ said Thacker of the SKATE board, “that nothing can happen until we figure out how to pay for sidewalks, curbs, gutters and stand-alone bathrooms, so we are still very much in the fundraising phase.”
When completed the facility will be turned over to the city and maintained as a city park, Thacker said. No opening date can be projected because of the fundraising challenge.
The location already has Mill City City Council approval and SKATE has been working with Dreamland, a noted skate park design firm in Lincoln City on what Thacker calls “a wonderful plan.” | <urn:uuid:76d58561-f633-4ef8-bdb1-ff073a67b14c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.canyonweekly.com/2023/01/06/meeting-jan-12-on-mill-city-skate-park/ | 2024-04-19T11:55:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.965759 | 438 |

Accuvio is a great value
製品を使ってみた感想： We have had a positive overall company experience. With about 1000 locations worldwide Accuvio has not only assisted in getting all our data in one place, they have also been working on bespoke API data transfers to link into smaller regional data aggregation providers not on the national scale. With Accuvio help our organization is on a path to increase our CDP score.
Quick responses to user questions and overall awesome support behind the software. Very detailed and able to handle complex organizations. Software comes with standard reports, which provide valuable insight and quality reports to share with internal teams to improve reporting.
User interface is technical and takes users time and training to understand.
A Sustainability software that
製品を使ってみた感想： Our business has been able to segregate data and report it correctly for several projects, for metrics including energy and water use analytics, waste reporting, supply chain management and GHG emissions. The software allows multiple options for streamlined data entry such as manual and meter entry, upload from Excel etc. which is quite a breath of relief when there is an enormous amount of data to be dealt with. Our consultants have been saving time and diminishing the possibility of human error using Accuvio, whilst preparing accurate sustainability reports for a wide clientele.
Being a cloud-based platform for sustainability reporting and management, Accuvio Sustainability is a tool that has helped us estimate and report our greenhouse gas emissions for Scope 1, 2 and 3, in addition to the carbon footprint. We were pleased with the ease of results and efficiency it offered with managing multiple layers of data in a spreadsheet form. Moreover, this data includes other metrics such as energy and water use, commuting, waste management, water treatment as well as logistics and transit. One of the better and user-friendly features it enables is report formats are tailored according to your region, and so are the units.
The software is a bit technical and challenging to get started with, but with consistent use and training, it can be achievable. However, personalised support from the customer service team and the Account Manager is extremely appreciated as they assist until our software training is complete and queries are answered.
Easy to use and developing quickly
製品を使ってみた感想： The Accuvio software platform is extremely flexible and easy to use. It is able to capture not just energy usage (standard with most software packages) but also water consumption, waste, transport and a number of other metrics too. The software support and clean interface also help this platform to rise above the competition. There are some areas on energy usage reporting that require development to allow for more granular analysis and usage alerts, however, the Accuvio team are very open to new ideas and are continually improving the system.
Accuvio for greenhouse gas and sustainability management in healthcare
製品を使ってみた感想： Accuvio has gone out of their way to problem-solve with my organisation through unusual issues (from setup through to new developments). Although my main Accuvio contacts are half a world away (in distance), I am readily able to: make contact/raise a ticket; gain skills in new enhancements/modules as they are released by Accuvio; discover new approaches to my work (eg through webinars on offer, or suggestions from staff); and sometimes speak directly to someone via Skype. I can rely on them to back up data and stay up to date with emissions factors from Australia.
The user-friendly user interface translates what I imagine is a complex back-end, into something which is both easy to use and reliable in capturing (and reporting) a wide range of emissions sources, performance indicators, project summaries, and documentary evidence. It's an essential tool for reporting to regulators and organisational decision-making.
The things I liked least about the software have been fixed over time as Accuvio is always responding to what clients are asking for.
Excellent Customer Support
製品を使ってみた感想： Operating across four divisions, eighteen Business Units, and in multiple countries, Accuvio has enabled us to apply simplified and consistent reporting across all geographies and business types. CDP and CR inputting is now much more straightforward for both our reporting businesses, as is creating output reports by our central sustainability team.
Very easy to use, does everything we need and more for our CDP reporting and our Annual Report and Accounts (Corporate Responsibility). Responsive customer support, in the event of queries (technical or practical).
Nothing specific. If we ever get to the position of needing customised reporting over and above what is available to us, then Accuvio support is only a phone call or email away.
Accuvio for CRC
We have used the Accuvio support for the duration of the CRC scheme and have found the software and more importantly the team really helpful and supportive. The software works well and helps develop a clear evidence trails for audit purposes.
The software works well and I guess the only downside is that this is a once a year last minute panic to hit the CRC deadline and so we never really remember the details from year to year or take advantage of the update seminars which would address this. That said it is pretty intuitive so easy to get back up to speed.
製品を使ってみた感想： It has been a great experience all round. I spoke to existing customers as part of my Valadation process and that convinced me I had the right solution.
The solution is intuitive and easy to use. Our teams had no trouble adapting to it. The data entry methods (there are 9 currently) make adding and validating data incredibly fast.
I found it a little limited on energy metrics, however after speaking with the support team discovered the majority of information I needed was captured and available through the report functions.
製品を使ってみた感想： Accuvio Sustainability provides a straight forward solution to the reporting of CRC data with simple but effective reports for audit purposes.
The software provides a easy to understand route to the required date for CRC reporting. The results are verified and auditable.
I found the system a little complicated at first but with a little help I discovered I was over complicating my data entry. Second time around this was much easier. The customer support is second to none very patient and happy to get involved when required
製品を使ってみた感想： It does everything we need and more
Outstanding Customer Support and very easy to use
There must be some weaknesses but I haven’t found them yet
製品を使ってみた感想： Accuvio really assisted us to map our CR journey, monitor and improve our carbon footprint, develop Responsibly Portman and supported the achievement of ISO14001.
Carbon Footprint Estimation Tool
We use the Accuvio program to estimate our global carbon footprint. We originally thought we could use spreadsheets to calculate and track our footprint. We quickly realized there was too much data to manage efficiently in a spreadsheet and opted to manage through the Accuvio program. We've been using the program for approximately 4 years.
There are a few features of Accuvio that you can't replicate in a spreadsheet without significant effort: 1) Current emission factors. Its all done for you. No worries on updating emission factors and verifying their validity in your region. 2)Tracking and reporting. There are so many ways to report your data, which can be exported to a spreadsheet. Date range selection allows you to look at historical data and evaluate trends. The report formats also facilitate consistency for all of our regions. 3) Data validation. The program checks your data for errors/anomalies when its uploaded.
At first the program is complex and overwhelming, but with continued use and review of guidance information, you'll figure it out. Accuvio's customer service is excellent. You get personalized support. Their support team sticks with you until the issue is resolved. They are also open for suggestions for improvement and customization for your needs. 5 stars on customer service.

- The N.C. Supreme Court will decide in the months ahead whether as many as 56,000 felons who have completed active prison terms but not finished their full sentences will remain eligible to vote in state elections.
- The court's two newest members, Justices Trey Allen and Richard Dietz, led questions challenging felon voting advocates.
- Lower court rulings allowed felons on parole, probation, or post-release supervision to vote last November in North Carolina.
The two newest members of North Carolina’s Supreme Court took the lead challenging plaintiffs in a case Thursday dealing with felon voting rights. Questions from new Justices Trey Allen and Richard Dietz signaled their concerns about a lower court ruling that allowed thousands of felons to vote last November.
The state’s highest court will decide in the months ahead whether felons who have completed active prison sentences will be allowed to vote in future elections.
Supporters of felon voting have said the case could affect 56,000 potential voters.
The case could produce one of the first high-profile decisions from the newly configured state Supreme Court and its 5-2 Republican majority. Democrats had maintained a partisan advantage on the state’s highest court from 2017 through 2022.
Plaintiffs in Community Success Initiative v. Moore challenge a 1973 state law that sets rules for restoring felons’ voting rights. The N.C. Constitution bans felons from voting until their rights have been restored by law, a process known as re-enfranchisement.
Challengers say the law discriminates against black voters. A three-judge trial court panel split 2-1 in supporting the plaintiffs. That court then ruled that felons should be able to vote after completing active prison sentences.
“Is the legislature under our state constitution required to enact any kind of re-enfranchisement statute?” Dietz asked plaintiffs’ attorney Stanton Jones, cutting off Jones’ opening statement after less than one minute.
“The text of the constitutional provision refers to ‘the’ manner of rights restoration, I think signaling in the text that the design from the very beginning of the constitutional provision was that there would be rights-restoration legislation at all times,” Jones responded.
Several minutes later, Dietz challenged the plaintiffs’ argument that the courts could do more than strike down a bad law. Plaintiffs had secured a trial court ruling that allowed felons to vote last fall without any state law authorizing them to vote.
“It seems that our constitutional doctrine is pretty clear that in North Carolina we don’t try to get in the minds of legislators,” Dietz said. “We declare something unconstitutional and then tell that other branch of government, ‘You need to try again.’”
Jones responded that a ruling striking down the current felon re-enfranchisement law would “wreak havoc” on state elections. It would remove from the state’s voting rolls even those felons who had seen their rights restored under the law before the legal dispute started.
Dietz was not alone in raising concerns about a panel of trial judges opening the door to felon voting last year.
“Here’s my basic concern with the remedy,” Allen said. “The constitution in Article VI says felons shall not vote unless their rights have been restored in the manner prescribed by law.”
“The default is no felon voting except in the manner prescribed by law,” Allen said. “Where is the law that prescribes that felons can vote — or may vote — simply upon being released from incarceration?”
“The trial court seems to have imposed a remedy that’s beyond the authority of a court,” Allen added.
While Allen and Dietz, both Republicans, asked the most questions to attorneys representing felon voting advocates, the court’s two Democratic justices dominated questioning of the attorney representing state legislative leaders. Top lawmakers are defending the state’s existing law regarding felon voting.
“The key flaw in plaintiffs’ case here is that they have challenged North Carolina’s law providing for felon re-enfranchisement when the harms of which they complain all flow from North Carolina’s constitutional provision disenfranchising felons, which is not challenged,” said attorney Pete Patterson, representing Republican legislative leaders.
The challenged 1973 law made it easier for felons to regain voting rights, Patterson argued. “Something has gone awry when a signature achievement of the civil rights movement is invalidated on the basis of racial discrimination.”
“If the claim … is that this is a provision that is racially discriminatory against African-Americans in this state, why would the disparate impact be analyzed only as regards people with felony convictions?” asked Justice Anita Earls, a Democrat. “Why isn’t the trial court correct that the proper standard here is whether or not this provision discriminates against African-Americans in the state as a whole?”
Justice Michael Morgan, a Democrat, asked whether the felon re-enfranchisement law should face “strict scrutiny,” a particularly high burden for constitutional analysis.
“Doesn’t … the fact still remain that in looking at the totality of the circumstances as the impact that this statute has had in terms of re-enfranchisement, that strict scrutiny is employable here as the Superior Court did in terms of looking at the totality of the impact and what has occurred relative to the African-American community?” Morgan asked.
In addition to deciding whether any felon completing an active prison sentence should be eligible to vote again, the Supreme Court also could address a related issue. Attorney Daryl Atkinson argued against a provision requiring felons to pay all fees and penalties before having voting rights restored.
“It makes political rights and privileges dependent on the ownership of property,” Atkinson said.
“The theoretical problem I see with that is you could read Article VI to say felons don’t have a right to vote,” Allen said. “At the point where they have yet to pay, they don’t have a voting right. That’s one way to look at it.”
In Community Success Initiative v. Moore, the state Supreme Court could determine whether felons on probation, parole, and post-release supervision will remain eligible to vote in future N.C. elections.
Felons in those categories were allowed to register and vote in November’s general election thanks to lower-court rulings.
A split trial court voted 2-1 in March 2022 to throw out the 1973 state law that set conditions for felons to have voting rights restored after completing their sentences. That trial court panel would have opened voter registration up to felons immediately.
But a split 2-1 ruling from the N.C. Court of Appeals in April 2022 blocked felon voting in elections scheduled for May and July. The same ruling opened the door for felons to participate in the November general election.
The state Supreme Court agreed to hear the case. But in October the high court rejected felon voting advocates’ plea to hear oral arguments in the case before the end of 2022. Legislative leaders defending the felon voting law in court had objected to plaintiffs’ request for a “breakneck argument schedule.”
Court rulings in the case to date have generated party-line divisions. At the trial-court level, Democratic Judge Keith Gregory and unaffiliated Judge Lisa Bell voted to throw out the felon voting law, while Republican Judge John Dunlaw dissented.
At the Appeals Court, Democratic Judges John Arrowood and Allegra Collins voted for the order allowing felons to vote in November. Republican Judge Jefferson Griffin dissented.
The case has pitted left-of-center advocacy groups supporting felon voting against Republican legislative leaders defending the 1973 law. The General Assembly approved the law at a time when Democrats dominated both legislative chambers.
N.C. Gen. Stat. § 13-1 is the state law, last revised in 1973, that spells out the process for felons to regain voting rights.
“The North Carolina Constitution provides that ‘[n]o person adjudged guilty of a felony … shall be permitted to vote unless that person shall be first restored to the rights of citizenship in the manner prescribed by law,’” according to a September brief from legislative leaders. “Today, Section 13-1 is that re-enfranchisement law. And Plaintiffs are challenging only that law, not the constitutional provision that disenfranchises felons or the statute that criminalizes felon voting.”
In a Sept. 9 court filing, state lawmakers rebutted plaintiffs’ arguments in the case.
“On the merits, Plaintiffs’ claim that Section 13-1 was racially motivated hinges upon tying Section 13-1 to racial animus that they contend surrounded the effort to add felon disenfranchisement to the North Carolina constitution in 1876 and codify that policy in statute in 1877,” according to legislators’ brief. “What Plaintiffs cannot escape, however, is that the re-enfranchisement statute — the predecessor to Section 13-1 that Plaintiffs challenge — was not amended in the 1870s but rather retained the form it had taken since 1840 — before African Americans had the right to vote.”
“Therefore, even if Plaintiffs theoretically could succeed by tarring the civil rights reformers who enacted the 1970s reforms with what came before (and they cannot), such a gambit would not work here. A re-enfranchisement law enacted before African Americans had the right to vote cannot possibly have been motivated by discrimination against African Americans. Plaintiffs also cannot escape that every amendment to the felon re-enfranchisement law since 1840 has been in the direction of greater liberalization, and the form Section 13-1 takes today is the result of reform efforts by civil rights stalwarts.”
“Once the focus is on re-enfranchisement, rather than disenfranchisement, Plaintiffs’ claims of discrimination fall apart,” legislative leaders argue. “Accepting Plaintiffs’ other arguments for invalidating Section 13-1 would require this Court to find that felons have a fundamental right to vote, that elections without them are not ‘free,’ and that insisting felons pay their debt to society before rejoining the electorate is the equivalent of a poll-tax or property qualification. No such findings are possible because the North Carolina Constitution itself disenfranchises felons, subject to any re-enfranchisement law the General Assembly may in its discretion enact.”

Dissatisfied directors are increasingly speaking up about fellow board members they feel are falling short and should be replaced. And the search for new blood is turning too some unconventional sources with limited impact so far, PwC said in a new report.
A large number – 35 percent of directors – say someone on their board should be replaced, PwC’s 2016 Annual Corporate Directors Survey determined.
Of that number, 25 percent said that replaceable directors weren’t prepared for meetings, up from 11 percent in 2012. About 17 percent said that the director in question lacked the right expertise; Only 13 percent cited that reason in 2012. Approximately 12 percent said a director needed replacing because he or she was too old; That’s down from 15 percent in 2012.
How to search for new directors? Back in 2012, 91 percent of respondents said they relied on board member recommendations, a long tradition. Things seem to be changing slowly, with 87 percent of respondents citing this method in 2016.
About 18 percent say they rely on investor recommendations now for director replacements, reflecting the growing influence of investors in corporate affairs. That’s up from 11 percent in 2012. Approximately 11 percent rely on public databases, versus 4 percent four years ago.
“A shift is starting to happen,” PwC said in its report. “Calls for board diversity and investor influence on board composition have prompted some boards to use less traditional sources to find new directors.”
So how is this push for diversity fairing? According to PwC, 96 percent of directors responding said that diversity is important. But female directors were much more supportive of the benefits of board diversity than male directors, according to the survey.
Nearly 90 percent of female directors said that diversity led “very much” to better company performance, versus 24 percent of men. Ninety-two percent of women directors said diversity leads “very much” to enhanced board effectiveness. About 38 percent of male directors had the same sentiment, PwC said.
As the report noted, women made up 20 percent of S&P 500 boards in 2015, up just 5 percentage points in a decade. While most directors say that as much as half of a board should be female, 10 percent of directors – mostly male, said that the ideal mix should be what it already is now, or less.
But if board is looking for diverse directors, where should they be found? PwC said that many qualified candidates exist a few notches below the C-suite, including those who run business sections and must work like a CEO as a result. With that in mind, a disconnect remains as to whether the talent pool is big enough. Ninety-three percent of female director respondents said that the talent pool is large enough for directors, but 64 percent of male directors agreed with this.
According to PwC, 4 percent of S&P500 CEOs are female, and 1 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs are African American. But board members typically look to current or former CEOs as director candidates, making it hard to create a more diverse board.

More and more people are viewing their pets as part of the family, which includes figuring out the ideal care while they’re traveling. Cat sitting is a growing profession that gives pet owners the comfort of knowing a kind, caring, and trustworthy person is looking after their cats while they’re away—and there are some perks for the sitter as well.
Whether you’re considering becoming a cat sitter or you’ve already done a little pet sitting as a side hustle, here are all the reasons that cat-sitting jobs are awesome.
The 6 Reasons Cat-Sitting Jobs Are Awesome
1. It’s Fun Money
If you’re an animal lover, there’s no question that cat sitting is a fun way to make a living. You get to relax and spend time with cats while earning some extra funds. That sure beats making coffee or delivering food as a side hustle.
2. You Can Spend Time With Cats
This one is obvious, but not everyone has the opportunity to have a cat of their own. And if they do, they still want to hang out with other cats. Whichever applies to you, know that you’ll get a lot of chances to cuddle and play with a variety of kitties.
3. Cats Are (Mostly) Low Maintenance
Though some cat breeds are needy, cats are much easier to care for than dogs or some other pets. Other than feeding, cleaning the litter box, and playtime, cats don’t demand walks, long runs outside, or other hard work.
4. You Learn More About Cats
Even if you think you’re the “cat whisperer”, cats are individuals, and all have unique personalities and quirks. Getting exposure to a range of different cat breeds and personalities makes you a well-rounded cat caregiver and prepares you for situations you may come across with your own cat.
5. You’ll Gain Fellow Cat Lovers as Friends
Leaving a pet in someone else’s care requires a lot of trust. Naturally, friendships develop between cat owners and their cat sitters, so you’re building a network of fellow cat lovers and contacts that may come in handy in the future.
6. It’s Rewarding
Cat sitting can pay well, but it’s not about the money. For most cat sitters, it’s a rewarding experience and privilege to be entrusted with someone else’s pet and home. Cat sitters care for other people’s cats as they would their own, building a unique bond.
Is It Easy to Become a Cat Sitter?
There’s a huge demand for cat sitters across the country. However, it takes some hard work to market yourself and build a positive reputation in the area. Online networks, such as Reddit, Rover, WagWalking, and Care.com, can be a good start but don’t hesitate to get the word out in your area. Many pet sitters build their client list by sitting for a friend or family member and getting referrals.
Most importantly, don’t get discouraged! It can take time to gain traction and get your name out there. If you’re not getting a lot of work initially, put that time into boosting your credentials. Volunteer at local shelters and look into certification programs to improve your credibility.

Waukegan man arrested after attempting to sell burglary victim's property back to burglary victim
WAUKEGAN, Ill. (CBS 58) -- A Waukegan man was arrested after allegedly attempting to sell a burglary victim's property back to the burglary victim himself.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office was called to the 12900 block of West Wadsworth Road on June 19 for a report of a burglary to a landscaping trailer.
The victim told police that during the overnight hours, someone cut the lock on one of his trailers and stole five backpack blowers, two chainsaws, and a concrete saw.
A few hours after reporting the burglary, the victim was contacted by an acquaintance, 53-year-old Angelo Rodriguez.
Knowing that the victim owns a landscaping business, Rodriguez told him that he had some landscaping items for sale that he recently acquired.
The victim looked at photos of the items and identified several of them as the ones that were stolen from him overnight.
The Sheriff's Office conducted an undercover operation to view and purchase the items that Rodriguez had in his possession.
According to the Sheriff's Office, He was arrested at the scene and complained he wasn't feeling well.
After being checked out at the hospital, Rodriguez allegedly tried to flee on foot from Sheriff's Detectives.
After a brief pursuit, he was taken back into custody.
He is now charged with theft, resisting/obstructing a peace officer, and driving while suspended. | <urn:uuid:1e9b57b8-309b-4e95-9008-c16040b5e0a4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.cbs58.com/news/waukegan-man-arrested-after-attempting-to-sell-burglary-victims-property-back-to-burglary-victim | 2024-04-19T11:29:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.986781 | 304 |
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed a "harsh response" to
on crowds gathered to mark the anniversary of the 2020 assassination of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, as Iran observed a day of mourning Thursday. The attack killed at least 84 people, Iranian authorities said."Cruel criminals must know that they will be strongly dealt with from now on," Khamenei said in a statement.
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claimed responsibility for the attack, which appeared to be the deadliest targeting Iran since the country's 1979 Islamic Revolution. The death toll was revised down to 84 early Thursday by the country's emergency services after initially being reported as over 100. More than 280 people were wounded, according to the emergency services.
Washington denied U.S. involvement and U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said the U.S. had "no reason" to believe Israel was involved. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby indicated the same and said "our hearts go out to all the innocent victims and their family members."
Wednesday's twin bombings occurred minutes apart in the city of Kerman, which is just over 500 miles from Iran's capital city, Tehran. A crowd had gathered to mark four years since the assassination Qasem Soleimani, who was the head of the Quds Force, in a U.S. drone strike.
The first explosion took place at about 3 p.m. local time, around 765 yards from Soleimani's grave. As the crowd rushed away from that blast, the second occurred around 20 minutes later on a street they were using to try to get out of the area, The Associated Press reported. A delayed second explosion is a tactic often used by militants to target emergency responders. | <urn:uuid:dbbde521-6a43-4d51-ab4a-a20decd15b9f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-supreme-leader-ayatollah-ali-khamenei-vows-harsh-response-to-bomb-attack-qasem-soleimani/ | 2024-04-19T12:11:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.97556 | 360 |
Farmer Was Killed When Pinned by Old Skid-Steer Loader
Photo 1 — Old skid-steer loader with ROPS cage re-attached by new owner. |
A 69-year-old farmer was found dead while cleaning snow from a hog-sorting pen. The man was driving a small skid-steer loader, which was 20-30 years old. The man was working alone, and details of the incident are unclear. He was found sitting in the operator’s seat, leaning to his left, with the left hydraulic lift arm pushing down and crushing his chest against the machine frame. The man’s hands were next to the control levers for the machine, which has led family members to suspect he may have lost consciousness prior to being pinned by the machine. There was nothing obviously in the vicinity that the man could have been reaching for. The work surface was flat concrete, and he was moving snow, as he had done many times before with the same machine. He had removed the protective cage on the machine years ago to provide access to an old-style hog house, so there was no protection between the operator and the hydraulic lift arms. He had owned this skid-steer loader for many years, and was very accustomed to using it without the cage.
RECOMMENDATIONS based on our investigation are as follows:
- Owners and operators of skid-steer loaders should not modify factory-installed protective structures, nor alter other built-in safety devices
- Owners and operators of skid-steer loaders should be made aware of the multiple dangers of using these machines.
In February 2001, a 69-year-old farmer was killed while using a skid-steer loader at his farm. Later that week, the state Medical Examiner’s office notified the Iowa FACE program of the incident. Additional information was gathered from the County Sheriff, and a site visit was planned later in the spring. The machine had been sold to a neighbor, the same man who was one of the first to arrive at the scene. One FACE investigator visited with this man at his farm, and photographed the skid-steer loader, which had the protective cage reattached. The incident site was not visited, but relevant information was gathered from the victim’s son via telephone.
The victim was a full-time farmer and had been farming his whole life, producing grain crops and varying numbers of livestock, including hogs. The farm itself had 240 acres (97 hectares), and the farmer tilled additional rented ground for a total of 800 acres (323 hectares). At that time, the farm produced only row crops, although livestock space was occasionally rented to others. This was a typical family farm operation, and there were no safety programs or written policies in place.

The victim was using the skid-steer loader to remove snow from a flat concrete hog lot at his farm. This was something routinely done in the winter, and the farmer had used the loader for this purpose many times. The loader was ~25-30 years old, and the victim had owned it for the past 15-20 years. The old loader was not equipped with safety interlocks as on newer machines, but did have a seatbelt, which appeared to be unused.
The height of the loader with the cage attached was 70″ (1.8 m) tall. This protective cage was too tall to accommodate an older hog house at the farm, and the farmer had removed the cage several years earlier to facilitate cleaning of manure from this building. The protective cage did not have machine controls or other mounted connections, and was therefore very easy to remove. The small loader had 28″ (71 cm) between the right and left hydraulic lift arms and only 21½” (55 cm) of space left to right inside the cage. The victim was taller and heavier than average, which likely made mounting and dismounting the narrow loader quite cumbersome, especially in the winter with heavy clothing.
The victim was found dead in the seat of the skid-steer loader, leaning to his left, with the left lift arm crushing his chest against the frame of the loader. The loader bucket was empty, and the loader was backed in position in a corner of the hog lot, as if getting ready to scoop more snow. There were no obvious gates or other objects in the vicinity that the man could have been reaching for. He may have leaned and looked to the side, or been distracted, and inadvertently grabbed one of the control levers. These circumstances are not known.
The loader was found to be in normal operating condition after this incident, and there was no evidence of any mechanical failure. Family members say the victim had recent complaints of shortness of breath, and speculate he may have suffered a heart attack or other loss of consciousness prior to the accident. No autopsy was performed, and this question can never be answered.
CAUSE OF DEATH

The cause of death from the Medical Examiner’s report was “asphyxia due to crush injury to chest”. No autopsy was performed.
RECOMMENDATIONS / DISCUSSION
#1 Owners and operators of skid-steer loaders should not modify factor- installed protective structures, nor alter other built-in safety devices.
Discussion: The protective structure is an essential safety feature of all new skid-steer loaders. Due to close proximity to the loader bucket and lift arms, the operator is in great danger if the protective structure is removed or modified, especially on this machine, which had a very narrow distance between the lift arms. This protective cage was removed to provide easier access to an old, low farm building. Other safety features are commonly built into newer original protective cages, such as lift arm safety stops and ignition safety interlocks. This older loader had none of these features. Removal of the cage provided easier access to the machine, and to certain low worksites at the farm, but seriously compromised safety of the machine. Using the machine with the original cage would have prevented this fatality.
#2 Owners and operators of skid-steer loaders should be made aware of the multiple dangers of using these machines.
Discussion: This fatality, and several others involving skid steer loaders, indicates that increased attention is needed to address the hazards in operating skid-steer loaders. The potential to be crushed between the bucket and the frame is an obvious danger for those who choose to remove protective cages or other safety devices. Overturn hazard, seatbelt and other operator restraint use, modifications of the safety devices, and overloading the machine, are all important safety topics that should be covered. The operators should avoid walking, stepping, or leaning under the raised bucket or raised lift arms, unless the machine is turned off and mechanical lift arm stops or braces are used.

In the state of Iowa, The University of Iowa, in conjunction with the Iowa Department of Public Health carries out the FACE program. The NIOSH head office in Morgantown, West Virginia, carries out an intramural FACE program and funds state-based programs in Alaska, California, Iowa, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
The purpose of FACE is to identify all occupational fatalities in the participating states, conduct in-depth investigations on specific types of fatalities, and make recommendations regarding prevention. NIOSH collects this information nationally and publishes reports and Alerts, which are disseminated widely to the involved industries. NIOSH FACE publications are available from the NIOSH Distribution Center (1-800-35NIOSH).
Iowa FACE publishes case reports, one page Warnings, and articles in trade journals. Most of this information is posted on our web site listed below. Copies of the reports and Warnings are available by contacting our offices in Iowa City, IA.
The Iowa FACE team consists of the following: Craig Zwerling, MD, PhD, MPH, Principal Investigator; Wayne Johnson, MD, Chief Investigator; John Lundell, MA, Coordinator; Risto Rautiainen, MS, Co-Investigator.

Most people are familiar with 503A pharmacies, which dispense patient-specific medications pursuant to prescriptions for individual patients. These include your local corner pharmacy, hospital pharmacies, and many others. 503B outsourcing facilities, however, are not as familiar. To understand the important role of 503B outsourcing facilities in today’s drug supply chain, it’s helpful to revisit the necessity for their existence.
Events That Led to 503B Outsourcing Facilities
The genesis of the 503B outsourcing facility designation stems from an unfortunate tragedy dating back to 2012. In that year, 64 patients died and over 750 more were injured after contracting fungal infections, including meningitis, from products contaminated with Aspergillus fumigatus. All of these products were sourced from a single compounding pharmacy — New England Compounding Center. These unfortunate events led to increasing scrutiny of compounding pharmacies from both state and federal officials. The Drug Quality and Security Act was subsequently passed in response, dividing pharmacies into two sectors: 503A pharmacies and 503B outsourcing facilities. This was done in an effort to increase regulatory requirements on compounding pharmacies with the goal of ensuring safe production of compounded drugs.
503B Outsourcing Facilities’ Role in Today’s Drug Supply Chain
The primary role of a 503B outsourcing facility is to produce large batches of sterile products with or without a prescription. These drugs are then procured by healthcare facilities for patient use. 503B outsourcing facilities differ from a traditional pharmacy in a number of important ways. First, 503B outsourcing facilities are subject to oversight from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Secondly, all compounding activities must adhere to current good manufacturing practices, or CGMP. FDA personnel make periodic visits to these facilities to ensure adherence to CGMP and other regulatory requirements.
Please take a moment to listen to the latest episode of DISRxUPT, where we discuss the importance of 503B outsourcing facilities and CGMP with Jeff Hval, COO and Chief Pharmacist of STAQ Pharma.

It’s very common to have dry eyes, there are a lot of contributing factors to what can make eyes feel dry. Some of the causes of dry eye can be due to lifestyle choices, but dry eyes can also be the result of certain eye conditions or medications.

If you continue reading then you are able to know that whether you have dry eyes or not. We will go through the causes, treatments, and prevention of this condition.
What is dry eye?
Dry eye is an uncomfortable condition that causes the eyes to feel:
- Sensitive to light
If you experience these symptoms, it’s likely that you have dry eyes. This means that you either aren’t producing enough tears or your tears evaporate very quickly. When tears do not remain in the eyes, they cannot provide adequate hydration, causing dryness.
What causes dry eyes?
There are a few reasons for dry eyes; below are some of the most common reasons. If you try to avoid these causes then you might be able to stop dry eyes. If these dry eyes reasons cant be treated then you might lead to chronic eyes illness. So, try to take precaution and keep safe yourself.
Excessive screen time
If you spend a lot of time in front of digital devices, as many of us do in this digital age, then it’s likely you’ve already experienced dry eyes at some point. Focussing on these screens naturally reduces how much we blink because we are concentrating so much. The blue light from these screens can also keep you awake, so it’s best to avoid technology too close to bedtime.
Those over the age of 50 are more prone to this condition. There are a few other eye conditions that you are more likely to develop as you get older, so it’s important to have eye tests every 2 years to ensure any concerns are found early. This is particularly important for some of the more aggressive eye diseases that can lead to vision loss.
Certain medications will cause you to develop dry eyes as a side effect, the symptoms should stop after you stop taking the medication. It is also one of the major cause of dry eyes dryness. These medications must needed to mention behind and stay precaution before eating them. Don’t neglect the factor of medication in eye dryness because many side effects of drug involve dryness.
Conditions such as blepharitis will cause eye dryness. In this condition you have to bear the eye dryness and get treated before it get worsen you eye health. If you have this condition then you can prevent it happening. If you don’t treat this condition then the complication and the symptoms like eye dryness just increase and lead serious eye illness.
Contact lenses, if worn for longer than the designated wearing time, can cause dry eyes. Contact lenses can sometimes absorb the thin layer of tears across the cornea, which is needed to keep the eyes feeling hydrated and comfortable.
How can I prevent dry eyes?
There are some things you can do to minimise the uncomfortable symptoms of eye dryness. If you still to able to stop eye dryness then you immediately have to visit your nearby optic clinic and examine your eye to eye specialist. It is last option left for you to treat it. Otherwise you should follow below mention points and safe your eye.
- Use eye drops
- Use lubricating eye ointments (at night and without contact lenses in)
- Switch from contacts to glasses for a while
- Keep your eyelids and lashes clean
- Take regular breaks from digital screens
- Blink more often
- Talk to your doctor and optician about any medication that might be causing dry eyes
- Eat a varied healthy diet
Diet can improve your overall health, so it’s worth eating a balanced and varied diet to ensure you get all the nutrients you need for optimal health, including eye health. Foods containing vitamin A, vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega 3 fatty acids will all contribute towards maintaining excellent eye health. Diet can also help your eyes to stay moisturised throughout the day. If you try some of the above remedies without success, talk to your optician. They will recommend alternative treatments for you. Vitamin A is the basic nutrient to change your eye health and promote the eye conditions. You can increase vitamin A and change your eye into healthy eye so that you can perform basic function.
Eye ointments can be an especially effective treatment for severely dry eyes. These ointments tend to obscure vision due to the consistency, which is why they should preferably be used at night and only after you have taken out your contact lenses.
Digital screens will cause temporary eye strain and dryness, however, the symptoms of this will continue to persist for as long as you are excessively looking at digital screens. Reducing your screen time will be good for your eyes long-term too, as ‘close work’ such as this can accelerate the progression of myopia. Everyone’s eyesight starts to deteriorate eventually with age but minimising your screen time might go a long way towards delaying this.

Pop star Mikey Shyne arrived on the scene in early 2015, sending shock waves throughout the entire music industry. A native of Queens, NY, Mikey grew up singing with church choirs and local theater groups.
Despite having traveled through the pits of hell and struggling with the horrors of
addiction, Mikey Shyne considers himself grateful to be alive today and to have
another shot at life. He has been ripped up and torn apart by life, lost relationships with family members he was closest with, did a three and a half month stint in rehab, battled depression his whole life and lost his own identity numerous times. But he continues to be a source of hope for others because no matter how broken, battered or stressed out at times he may be, he ALWAYS puts one foot in front of the other.
With music as his lifeline and at the core of his soul, he uses it as his guiding light to keep him balanced. He says that there is nothing in the world, not drug, no woman, no amount of sex, that could fill his void like music can.

I spend too much of my free time sifting through used car posts looking for some car, any car interesting enough, clean (if I’m lucky) enough, fairly priced, or even halfway decently priced to post to @Cheap_Classics. I do this far more than any average, healthy, and/or occupied individual ever should or would. More often than even I’d like to. For example, right now, I’d rather be drinking a beer poolside. My feet dangling in cool, blue, chlorinated water. I don’t have a pool, or beer, or any friends with pools or beer. So, here I am, in front of the screen, writing a guide no one will ever reference when selling their ‘93 Prelude, or ‘88 Rolls, or their aunts Subaru. But here it goes anyway.
First things first, your photography sucks. At times, scrolling through ads, I have laughed at some of the photos. Others, an audible “Oof” punches out of my gut and I move on. Maybe it’s not your photography specifically, but the third person uhh, conjugation …superlative… um… the general sense of “you”, the “they” of “you”, those people, not you …maybe. Their photography really needs work. I am not saying be Ansel Adams or Steve McCurry. We aren’t capturing the quintessence of man here. Just get the whole car in frame. Somehow, preteen kids innately understand concepts like composition better than adults do. I find this inherent acclimation to technology they are born into weirdly off putting. Secondly, the commentary in your post. It’s not quite as big a deal as the photography but it’ll be good to go over a few key points. You don’t want to come off the wrong way. Lastly, your asking price. Luckily, you’ve got me to help you catch up! And because there is no pool, no beer, no chaise lounge, here are some do’s and don’ts that I’ve been subjected to since being a part of the awesome @Cheap_Classics crew.
- How to photograph your classic like generation tiktok.
- As emphatically stated previously, the subjects background is important. But more important, is getting your entire car in frame. The car is your subject and how you compose the subject in the frame is composition. You need to pull your classic out of the garage expressly for this purpose if nothing else. The buyer has to see the whole rig at once. You cannot expect someone scrolling around your local online auto page to know your car as intimately as you might. Why make them piece the car together in their mind from weirdly fragmented, oddly and contrasting angles? Let them see the whole thing, as god made it and as you drove it.
- If you can, get your classic out of your garage. In fact, if it drives at all, drive it somewhere. Somewhere nice. Somewhere pleasant. A parking lot at the beach. A dirt road next to a field. Across from a mountain view like it’s a palomino ready to bolt. If you can do that, you’ll give the car a fancy story the buyer can build in their brain. You’ll allow them to imagine your car can take them on magical journeys and never run out of gas. But if your car doesn’t drive, pull that hunk of shit out of the garage and get it on the street if you can. You are going to need the space to walk around your car.
- One thing Gen Tiktok uses on their phone is a ring light. That’s right, they already understand the importance of lighting. Let’s say that you’ve got a driving classic, let’s say it’s a nice and sunny day. You’re out there on the road. You are driving to your favorite location to get those romantic photos of your darling classic. What time of day is it? If it’s lunch time, drive your car through whatever drive-thru you prefer and go back to work. Go straight back and wait. Wait for the shift change horn. That’s when the sun gets lower in the sky, the light isn’t so harsh, and the shadows start to get long. You don’t have a ring light for your car, but you do have the sun. Midday sun sucks. It sits over us like an ember, basting harsh light all over your car. It’s worth it to hold off to quitting time or get up early and get the early light. Lighting is important. Midday sun is oppressive. Soft light is your friend.
- It is unlikely that you have a camera body with interchangeable prime lenses. It is more likely that you might be, like many others, using your cell phone as your main digital camera. That means, instead of zooming in or swapping lenses, you are going to have to walk toward and away from your subject to get the composition correct. Remember, you need to get the whole car in frame. Try walking back 45 degrees from each of the four corners, crouching down to a high relative to the height of the top of the corner of your car for each shot of the body.
- We need to see the interior and hopefully, if you’re up for it, the engine compartment. At the very least, pick the tools up off the passenger floorboard. A socket wrench and a Philips head with some gaskets tells everyone that your classic is an unreliable and increasingly worsening pit of despair. While we are on the subject of cleaning the car, running it through the wash. Lift the hood, spray out the engine compartment. Hit it with the vacuum. Pretend your car is going out on a date. This is a good way to let buyers feel that you took care of the classic, enjoy the classic, and want someone else to feel the same joy you did driving the classic. Open the front doors of the car. On the driver’s side, get a shot that includes the dash, the instrument panel, and the seat. Do the same on the passenger. Back seat is up to you. The engine compartment tells a big part your classics’ story, try not to skip it.
- The Description
- Unlike the photography, this is generally not as egregious. The first issue I feel the need to address is, in my experience, sellers can sometimes seem defensive. As though they don’t even want to sell their car. It is typically uncommon to start off a sales pitch with “Don’t call me unless you’re serious.” Or “I know what I have! I won’t budge on price.” Maybe that’s like, “your truth” or whatever. But this is my advice, take it or leave it. Most importantly, be honest. If your car has problems, be transparent.
- The Asking Price
- I get it, we all do, you want to maximize your profits. I can’t tell you what your car is worth. However, I can tell you no one is going to pay for your sentimentality. So be objective. Use KBB or market research as evaluative tools when deciding your asking price. It is common that seller’s factor in some wiggle room in their price for hagglers. But if you didn’t, let the buyers know your firm on the price in the description.
Good luck selling your car. If you can’t, don’t blame me.

The 22nd Ward — led by ward leader Cindy Bass, who is also a sitting member of City Council — is a troubling example of the ward system gone wrong.
The city’s ward system is a microcosm of democracy on a hyper-local level. Every four years, Democratic and Republican voters elect committee people to represent them — to hear from candidates, and to vote on who they think would best represent their constituents and deserve an endorsement.
Then, the committee people energetically disseminate their endorsements and, more importantly, drive voter turnout among their neighbors. That’s how it’s supposed to work anyway.
Unfortunately, many wards in the city do not operate this way. The majority of wards are “closed,” in which ward leaders collect money from candidates, and unilaterally make endorsements on behalf of the ward without any input from elected committee people.
The 22nd Ward — led by ward leader Cindy Bass, who is also a sitting member of City Council — is a troubling example of the ward system gone wrong. Ms. Bass not only runs a closed ward, but has gone so far as to exclude any committee people who advocate for open wards principles that guarantee committee people are empowered to represent their constituents in a ward that is transparent, inclusive, and democratic in its operations and endorsement process.
Beyond being shut out of ward meetings and endorsements, these committee people have been denied poll watcher certificates to safeguard the voting process, and materials to inform voters on election day. Their requests for full transparency of ward finances and to use Robert’s Rules of Order, a basic practice of any democratic body, have been denied.
Not to be dissuaded from the roles they were elected to play, these committee people, members of the 22nd Ward Open Caucus, have continued to volunteer vigorously for their neighbors, knocking on doors, printing newsletters, organizing voter registration drives, GOTV campaigns, and voter education events before and throughout the pandemic.
Councilmember Bass’ justification for excluding select committee people is that their dissenting views on how the ward business should be conducted constitutes “unacceptable behavior” that disrupts the ward’s operations.
Shutting duly-elected committee people out of the ward disenfranchises both them and their constituents.
This sort of “leadership” is unacceptable on any level of democratic government. Elected committee people have every right to participate in ward activities, and ward leaders should not shut them out simply because they have a disagreement with them.
If wards cannot operate in an open manner where dissenting viewpoints foster robust, healthy debate on issues, they no longer embody the democratic process, but something else entirely where power is maintained by suppression and disenfranchisement.
The 22nd Ward Open Caucus stands for the principles that wards should be rooted in democracy and committee people ought to be empowered in their efforts to support and represent their constituents, not suppressed. Open Wards Philly was created and exists to foster and encourage these principles in wards across the city, including the 22nd Ward.
In the upcoming May 17 primary election, voters in the 22nd Ward have the opportunity to elect neighbors to represent them in the Ward Committee. These elected committee people will, in turn, attend a meeting on June 6 to elect a ward leader for the next four-year term. If the current ward leader, Cindy Bass, continues to suppress the participation and votes of elected committee people, she will likely guarantee herself re-election. But will it be legitimate?
We think not, and we call on Ms. Bass to immediately restore full participation of all committee people. It’s time for true democracy in the Democratic 22nd Ward. | <urn:uuid:88017e7d-12f2-40f3-8fd4-ee7dc82813b0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.chestnuthilllocal.com/stories/letter-open-the-22nd-ward-open-all-wards,23596 | 2024-04-19T11:54:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.971834 | 751 |
One day after Jay Cutler sustained a torn groin muscle Oct. 20 in a loss to the Redskins, the Bears announced that their starting quarterback would be sidelined for at least four weeks.
The timetable hasn't changed. But in his first interview since suffering the injury, Cutler told reporters Tuesday in the Walter Payton Center that he hopes to return sooner.
Jay Cutler (left) will be replaced by Josh McCown Monday night when the Bears face the Packers. |
Coach Marc Trestman said Monday that the timeline hasn't changed, but he acknowledged Tuesday that that doesn't mean Cutler will definitely be out that long.
"I don't decide when Jay comes back or when any player comes back," Trestman said. "The doctors make that decision. What I was doing was reiterating the prognosis of the doctors.
"They're not always right. It could happen faster. Jay's optimistic; we all are. But I'm not saying we're not bringing Jay back for four weeks. That's what the doctors have said and we'll work off that timeline. If it happens quicker, that'd be great."
Receiver Brandon Marshall has said in multiple interviews that he thinks Cutler will be back in two weeks, possibly as soon as the Bears' home game against the Lions a week from Sunday.
"He's optimistic, and so am I," Cutler said. "So we'll see how it goes."
"Brandon is a teammate and he's optimistic that his teammate will be back," Trestman said. "He's not the doctor. When I talk about a player's prognosis to play, it's not mine. It's what the doctors have said is the normal. That doesn't mean that Jay can't beat the odds and come back quicker."
With the Bears (4-3) set to battle the Packers (5-2) Monday night in Green Bay, Cutler has switched roles with backup quarterback Josh McCown, helping his teammate prepare to make the start.
"It's tough watching," said Cutler, who will miss his ninth start due to injury in five seasons with the Bears. "It's always the hardest part; not being able to do your job with the rest of the guys. I've just got to help Josh as best as I can and when I get back, I get back.
"We're just going through the reads, just looking at film. He's been around a long time. So there's not much I can tell him that he hasn't seen or done."
Cutler has complete confidence in McCown, an 11-year veteran who excelled in relief against the Redskins, completing 14 of 20 passes for 204 yards with one touchdown and a 119.6 passer rating.
"Josh is going to do the job," Cutler said. "We've got a good game plan coming in. The coaches have done a great job all year of protecting guys at the quarterback position. Josh fared well against [Washington]. He played well. He'll play well again this week as well."
McCown's last regular-season starts came in the final two games in 2011 when he completed 19 of 28 passes for 242 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in a loss in Green Bay and 15 of 25 passes for 160 yards with one TD and one interception in a win in Minnesota.
McCown is surrounded by a better supporting cast than other backup quarterbacks have been when they've replaced Cutler, starting with his pass protection up front.
"We've got a lot of talented guys," Cutler said. "The offensive line is playing really well. That's what made my job easier. It's going to make his job easier as well." | <urn:uuid:ebfa16a2-a46b-4946-891d-14ce068d08f4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.chicagobears.com/news/cutler-hopes-to-return-sooner-than-four-week-timetable-11668275 | 2024-04-19T13:19:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.987214 | 753 |
10th China Acrobatic Exhibition set for late July in Nanning
The 10th edition of the China Acrobatic Exhibition, formerly known as the National Acrobatics Competition, is set for July 17 to 28 in Nanning, south China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, according to authorities on Wednesday.
For the first time, acrobatic dramas will be showcased in the exhibition this year, while in the past the entries were only acrobatics and magic tricks.
Initiated in 1984 as a government-run event, the National Acrobatics Competition has been held nine times and will be held under the title of China Acrobatic Exhibition from this year.
The 9th National Acrobatics Competition was held in 2013 in Chongqing, southwest China, with the participation of more than 700 performers with over 40 troupes.
This year's event is co-sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Regional People's Government. | <urn:uuid:47b4bd1f-7958-452b-b3b9-d2fa5eaed8a1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/201907/10/WS5d258bf9a3105895c2e7cbd4.html | 2024-04-19T13:33:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.972865 | 204 |
Last Updated on January 4, 2024
Bioindividuality is so important and not very many people know what it is or why it matters. That’s why I’m doing a deep dive into what bio-individuality is and some things to consider that affect you most.
Working in a way that’s best for your bio-individuality is the easiest way to reach your fitness and wellness goals. Not eating and exercising for your bio-individuality can easily cause weight gain, stubborn fat, and other physical and mental health issues that make it hard to get results and stay consistent.
In this video, I explain more, including the first three things to consider that affect your bio-individuality. HINT: It’s the basis for your ability to burn fat, get healthy, and stay that way. It’s also addressed in every single one of my programs because without addressing it, you’ll struggle… and I’m not going to let that happen.
This is the training I mentioned in the video
What is Bioindividuality
Bioindividuality is the idea that each person has unique biological and physiological characteristics that affect their nutritional and fitness needs. These characteristics can include genetics, body type, metabolic type, blood type, and hormone levels, among others.
Why does this matter? It means that what works for one person in terms of diet and exercise may not work for another person. It also means if you don’t use an approach that’s best for your biological needs you can experience negative physical and mental consequences.
For example, one person may thrive on a high-carb diet while another may do better on a low-carb diet.
One person may have a high tolerance for intense exercise while another may do better with less intense activity and another may be exercise intolerant naturally.
See all these people?? It’s impossible to think that they’d all benefit from the same diet and workouts.
They all have different body types, shapes, metabolic types, blood types, genetics, preferences, and needs. Everyone has their own unique health issues, diagnoses, hormone profiles, injuries, and physical limitations They all also have a unique goal. This is a very short list of things that have an impact on your unique bio-individual nutritional needs and what workouts would be best for you.
How Bioindividuality Affects Diet & Workouts
Eating and exercising in a way that is not aligned with your bio-individuality can have negative effects on your weight, health, and mood. Excess fat, fatigue, bloating, cravings, joint pain, acne, hormone imbalances, gut issues, and other much more serious health issues are all common when eating and exercising in a way that doesn’t match your bio needs.
- If you’re eating a diet that does not provide the energy and nutrients your body needs (examples of diets that commonly cause this are crash diet, Vegan diet, Keto diet, etc.)
- If you’re exercising in a way that’s too intense or not intense enough, you may experience weight gain or difficulty losing weight, as well as physical and mental health issues.
We’re all completely unique in our genetic and biological makeup that determines our nutrition & exercise requirements. The requirements are further unique because you have your own goal for your body. Your goal weight and look (amount of muscle mass, body composition, and shape) each further lends towards modifying your needs.
For example, if I have two women clients who are both 5’7″ but one wants to weigh 150lbs. with 25% body fat and the other wants to weigh 165 and boost her energy would have to train and eat in a way that works best for them.
Also, everyone has their own routines, practices, and preferences that work best for them.
- The foods we prefer & love and the foods we refuse to eat because we don’t like them or they don’t work for us. (taste, texture, beliefs about them, allergic reactions, etc.)
- The exercises that work best for your body considering your skill level, goals, and pre-exisitng issues (injuries, rehab, post-op considerations etc.
- Supplements or medications that are necessary or that should be avoided completely to prevent an adverse reaction
- Coping mechanisms that are positive and helpful and
Your body’s reaction will always be unique to various foods, habits, stress, and emotions. This idea also extends to every single other aspect of your life. The way we navigate life and respond to things we go through makes our journeys even more unique… and modifies our approach even further.
So how can you expect to live your life following the same strategies, protocols, paths, and expectations of others? You can’t. That’s where bio-individuality comes into play… and you have to do what’s right and works best for YOU.
WHAT RESEARCH SAYS ABOUT BIO-INDIVIDUALITY
Did you know that we all react differently to certain foods? It’s true. A study from 2015 found that when 800 people were tracked for over a week. All the volunteers received identical meals and snacks for 7 days. It was discovered that age and BMI caused changes in blood glucose levels after meals, but also that people had different responses to the same foods.
This means that each person metabolizes food differently and that personalizing nutrition based on individual needs would be beneficial for achieving health goals. Isn’t that interesting? It’s just another reminder that we are all unique and our bodies have different needs.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCE BIO-INDIVIDUALITY?
A number of factors influence your bio-individual profile. There are 3 main things to think about before anything else.
- The first thing to consider is your age. Because your needs change over time. Normal hormone fluctuations, pregnancy, age, and current height, weight, and all influence what diet and exercise routine is best for you.
- Your goal weight changes your nutritional needs and what workouts work best to make your vision for your body become a reality.
- Gender has a huge influence on what your nutritional needs and exercise habits should be based on your goals. I can’t begin to tell you how many women come to me complaining that they’re getting big and bulky but they’re working out with a male trainer or their husbands/boyfriends/male friends.
Eating and exercising for your age, goal, and gender are THE places to start adapting your diet and workouts to get the results you want. So since I’m results-oriented we’re starting there because they matter most. But some other things can have the biggest impact.
GENETICS AND BIOINDIVIDUALITY
Studies prove that your genetic background (obviously) has a lot to do with what diet and workouts are optimal. This applies most to foods you’re genetically able to metabolize and digest properly. For instance, if you’re from Italy you’d likely thrive on a Mediterranean diet. But if your ancestors are from Mexico, your digestive system wouldn’t do as well on the Med Diet. Just like the Italian system wouldn’t thrive on traditional Mexican staples.
GUT HEALTH AND BIO-INDIVIDUALITY
- environmental exposures
- health status
- socioeconomic status
- antibiotic intake
- + many others… a few of which we’ve already discussed
Bottom line, your diet is among the most important influences on your gut microbiome, as both short- and long-term nutrition habits can alter the state of your gut. Studies also show that individuals we interact with—including family members and pets—can influence our gut health.
The degree to which these microbiomes are shared, however, is unknown. Next, when your gut health is compromised, your dietary needs will be different from someone with a stronger stomach.
For instance, if you have a leaky gut, you’ll have to keep an eye out to avoid various allergens. In addition, if your gut health is off, it’s important to limit sugar and consume easily digestible food. That could mean eating fewer raw foods and/or avoiding beans and grains until your gut balances out.
METABOLISM AND BIOINDIVIDUALITY
Metabolism is the sum of all chemical reactions happening in the body. Some of those reactions determine the rate at which you convert food into energy and if you can properly absorb and react to the components in your diet. THIS IS A HUGE aspect of bio-individuality. Knowing this can be helpful when gauging the amount of food your digestive system can process.
There are several factors that determine your metabolic type:
- Are you a fast or slow metabolizer?
- Are you a fast or slow oxidizer?
- Are you sympathetic, parasympathetic dominant or mixed?
- Your endocrine type (gonadal, thyroid, pituitary)
- How do you metabolize different macronutrients?
- How do you metabolize micronutrients?
I have a quiz that determines your Metabolic Type and training. In it I explain your metabolic type and how food affects you if you’re interested.
HOW TO WORK IN A WAY THAT’S BEST FOR YOUR BIOINDIVIDUALITY?
The bottom line is that it’s important to listen to your body and find a way of eating and exercising that makes you feel your best!
Here are some common examples of how your diet can be affected by bioindividuality:
- If you have a slow metabolism and eat a diet high in calories, you can struggle to lose weight or gain weight. This can be very frustrating emotionally and mentally.
- If you have food sensitivities or intolerances and (unknowingly) continue to eat foods that trigger these issues, you may experience digestive problems, skin issues, and other physical symptoms.
- If you have low energy levels and eat a diet low in nutrients, you may find it difficult to maintain physical and mental energy and focus, which can affect your performance at work or school.
- If you have a medical condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure and eat a diet that is not properly balanced or that does not meet your specific needs, you may have difficulty managing your condition and may be at risk of complications.
It’s important to note that these are just a few examples.
The specific health issues you may experience will depend on your individual circumstances and bio-individuality. And those are just examples of how diet can affect you.
What about exercise and bioindividuality?
Here are some common examples.
- If you are not well-suited to high-intensity exercise but engage in it regularly, you may experience burnout, overuse injuries, or inflammation. You will also dramatically change your nutritional needs.
- If you have specific fitness goals (such as building muscle or improving endurance) and do not exercise in a way that is targeted towards these goals, you may not see the progress you desire.
- If you have medical conditions or physical limitations and do not modify your exercise routine accordingly, you may be at risk of injury or worsening your condition.
- If you have a busy schedule and do not have time for long workouts, but try to fit in lengthy workouts anyway, you may find it difficult to stick to your exercise routine and may become demotivated.
Again, these are just a few examples, and the specific issues you may experience will depend on your individual circumstances. It’s important to find an exercise routine that is appropriate for your unique biology and goals in order to achieve the best results.
Otherwise, you can seriously slow down your metabolism… especially if you’re not working in a way that’s right for the metabolism.
I have a training that discusses this in more detail. You can start the training here. This is where I have all of my one on one clients start because it customizes an approach based on age, gender, and goals. It also repairs the damage done by ignoring your body’s needs. After that I tailor my approach to metabolic type and body type further. This progressive approach helps you get better results, avoid plateaus, and enjoy the most food and least intense exercise possible.
ALSO… STAY TUNED because I’m going to start dripping out tools you can use to start working on your bio-individuality. So make sure you’re on my newsletter so you don’t miss a thing. If you sign up below you’ll be the first to get the upcoming training & tools.
Ciao for now.

The Prime Minister approves |
10 May - Malaysia Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim recently took to social media to help promote and sing praises for the biopic, "Anwar: The Untold Story", which recently held its premiere in Malaysia.
On 9 May, the 75-year-old politician shared a series of photos from the event, which was attended by the cast and crew of the movie, and admitted that the storyline, which revolves around his political struggles, truly touched his heart.
"This film also reminds me of the pain and burden borne by Azizah, the children and our friends. Although the entire dialogue and narration are not totally the same, the issues raised in the work are real events," he wrote.
He also complimented the movie team for a job well done, saying, "My salute to the wonderful production team for being able to condense decades of storytelling into a film lasting about 90 minutes."
The upcoming movie, directed by Indonesian filmmaker Viva Westi ("Jenderal Soedirman", "Serambi"), is executive produced by satirical cartoonist Zunar.
It stars Farid Kamil and Acha Septriasa as Anwar and wife Wan Azizah, and the challenges they face from the moment he was appointed the Financial Minister to the time of his firing as Deputy Prime Minister in 1998.
Beside him, is a strong woman |
Songstress Siti Nurhaliza performed the song, "Menjaga Cintamu", composed by Indonesia's Andi Rianto and written by Sekar Ayu Asmara, as part of the soundtrack of "Anwar: The Untold Story".
"I am grateful when the PM praised it. It means that he is satisfied with the efforts made by the songwriters and me, especially since I was not well when I was recording the song," she said.
Siti stated that she was having a sore throat while she was recording the song and had wanted to try and record the song again, but that Andi loved the raspy tone of her voice, and told her that it suited the feel of the song.
"The song Menjaga Cintamu was produced for a figure like Anwar who sacrificed a lot alongside his wife, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, who was often patient and held back a lot of feelings throughout their struggles," she said.

Article originally written in September 2021.
Someone recently asked me for my thoughts on the top maintenance items most often overlooked by homeowners. Rather than repeat my hackneyed list of recommendations to check smoke detectors or furnace filters, my mind immediately went to one maintenance item that isn't talked about nearly enough: decks and porches.
Here in the South, decks and porches are a wonderful addition to a home to extend outdoor living space. As an inspector, however, I rarely find one that is not in need of at least some improvement. I find decks commonly underbuilt, lacking appropriate connecting hardware, and not maintained or updated throughout the seasons. This neglect can have a significant impact for safety as well as the value of a home.
Why are decks so often problematic? In my opinion, people tend to build decks and simply forget about them. They disregard the fact that the materials have a finite life and they fail to plan for routine cleaning, painting, or simple repairs that would prolong the structure.
Additionally, many decks are simply not built well.
Believe it or not, the International Residential Code (IRC) didn't have much to say on decks until 2015, when a spate of unfortunate deck failures caused careful reconsideration of building science and code. In 2018, even more comprehensive provisions were added. This means that until recently, most builders were left to their own devises or local codes, which may have been dated or poorly written, understood, or enforced.
While the NEW code helps guarantee safe NEW decks, there are still a LOT of structures out there that are lacking and would benefit from review and upgrades. Fortunately, many decks can be retrofitted with additional inexpensive bracing or hardware!
If you are considering purchasing a home or currently own a home with a deck, consider having an evaluation performed by a home inspector or contractor certified by the North American Deck and Railing Association (NADRA). You can also check periodically for deterioration and loose components, and plan for seasonal maintenance.

Rapist Metropolitan Police officer David Carrick will serve at least 30 years behind bars for attacking a dozen women over a 17-year period.
In a two-day sentencing hearing, Southwark Crown Court heard how the 48-year-old “monster” used his power and control to carry out a “catalogue of violent and brutal” sex attacks between 2003 and 2020.
His victims spoke of how they had “encountered evil”, and the court was told Carrick sent one of his victims a photograph of himself with a work-issue gun, saying: “Remember I am the boss.”
The court also heard how he told another woman he was the “safest person that she could be with and that he was a police officer” before taking her back to his nearby flat to rape her.
Carrick, who was sacked from the force following his conviction, was handed 36 life sentences with a minimum term of 32 years.
The sex predator previously admitted 49 charges, including 24 counts of rape and charges of sexual assault, controlling and coercive behaviour and false imprisonment.
Deducting the number of days he had spent in custody from his minimum term on Tuesday, Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb told the defendant: “These convictions represent a spectacular downfall for a man charged with upholding the law and empowered to do so even to the extent of being authorised to bear a firearm in the execution of his duty.”

Over the past decade, as I researched and wrote, “The Soul of Civility,” I spoke with many people across North America and the UK who had a keen interest in how civility can bridge our social, cultural, and political divides. Despite that experience, I am still blown away by the intense response the publication has created.
However, I shouldn’t be surprised. As Eric Adler at the Front Porch Republic reminds us, “Incivility is as old as humanity itself.”
As we witness this outpouring of interest in this topic we are reminded that the very desire for conversations that are fraught with the potential for incivility is just as old.
And it isn’t just the conversations that we need. As I point out in my Western Standard article, “Civility — the duties of citizenship — sometimes requires disobedience.”
During my chat at The Art of Manliness podcast pointed out, “Civility ensures the health of democracy”.
True civility is required whether we are contemplating civil disobedience or simply having Thanksgiving dinner with our extended family. Both require the “thought-provoking conversation” we discuss in the Intercollegiate Studies Institute article, “How to Navigate Conflicting Social Norms to Build Cultures of Trust.”
John Hood writes in the Carolina Journal that at the start of each North Carolina Leadership Forum, they strive to build that trust right out of the gate. “Fostering constructive engagement across political differences is possible only after building rapport.”
Building trust and rapport will require both civility and politeness, and I discuss those differences in a podcast with Matt Lewis.
I hope you will join the conversation on social media using the hashtag #TheSoulOfCivility.
I look forward to reading your comments!

We at CK Auto Exclusive have been experts at Mercedes service and Mercedes maintenance since 1977. Our independent Mercedes Benz service center offers a few things that the dealerships cannot. Because Mercedes Benz vehicles offer such luxury and performance, it's fair for Benz owners to only seek the best for their vehicles. In this article we discuss the advantages to trusting your Benz to an indie shop versus a dealership service center.
WHY GO INDEPENDENT WITH MERCEDES SERVICE?
One of the biggest advantages to taking your Benz into an independent service center is that you get access to the knowledge and expertise of our master tech, Paul Duckworth. In addition to Paul's hundreds of service hours, advanced diagnostic strategies and disassembly instruction, he and his team can also troubleshoot the complex computer systems in your vehicle.
Like many large organizations, Mercedes Benz dealerships cannot offer the same level of customer service offered by CK Auto. Due to the volume of customers serviced at dealerships, technicians and mechanics are pressed to turn cars out of the service center as soon as possible.
At CK Auto, we take the time to get to know our customers and their vehicles. The simple truth is that the exact Benz services and maintenance each car needs is based on how the car is driven. If you drive your car in bumper to bumper traffic for several hours every day, the service and maintenance needed for your vehicle will be different than that of the driver who uses his or her Benz primarily for long distance travel.
You aren't just a number at CK Auto. We treat you and your car with respect and care.
DO INDEPENDENT BENZ SHOPS OFFER THE SAME SERVICES?
Yes, we offer the same or more services when compared to the service centers at dealerships. Following is just a short list of the many services we offer to Santa Rosa Benz owners.
You don't just get better rates at CK Auto Exclusive. You also get access to our master tech and access to personalized service and maintenance schedules for your Santa Rosa Mercedes. Give us a call to schedule your next appointment! | <urn:uuid:e929fb12-9bf0-4578-8a59-04ded3d4f81a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.ckautoexclusive.com/blog/independent-mercedes-benz-service-center | 2024-04-19T13:10:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.954997 | 424 |
Treatment essence carries many benefits for the skin and is especially helpful in combating signs of ageing such as wrinkles and fine lines. While it’s less concentrated than a serum, it adds a layer of moisture and preps your skin to absorb the active ingredients of your serum and moisturiser.

The Super Restorative Treatment Essence is a powerful firming essence for mature skin. It contains
Green Coffee and Ginseng extracts, which are very effective in revitalising and hydrating the skin. This anti-ageing essence is also formulated with Hibiscus Flower Acids, which gently exfoliate the skin to unveil a radiant complexion. Users love its
lightweight, non-greasy texture. Visibly enhance your complexion with our Nutri-Lumiere Treatment
Essence, a nutrient-rich anti-ageing essence with Horse Chestnut, Roselle, Oat, Ginseng and Leaf of Life extracts that illuminate the skin and remove deep wrinkles over time. It also hydrates and softens mature skin, restoring a
luminous glow to your complexion.
Clarins’ magnificent facial treatment essences for dark spots are also not to be missed. Featuring two brightening superfruit extracts combined with powerful plant extracts and vitamin C derivative, the Bright Plus Dark Spot-Targeting Treatment Essence is a must-have in your brightening skincare collection.

palm after cleansing and toning. Gently apply the treatment essence onto your face and neck, allowing the liquid to absorb into your skin. A small amount is sufficient as our treatment essences are concentrated in nutrients and active
