With the aim to educate and help every female in the Virgin Islands envision a future where there’s equality of opportunities in sports, the British Virgin Islands Women and Sport Commission (BVIWSC) has been formed.
‘We are going to be dedicated to having a positive influence on gender equity, the empowerment and access for women to an enriching sport experience. Working together, with the BVI Olympic Committee as well as all organizations, associations and federations we shall lead the advancement of sport for the benefit of the participants and society,’ said President Michel Penn.
Penn, upon election, automatically gains a seat on the executive body of the BVI Olympic Committee and is entitled to play a pivotal role in the policies and decisions as it regards women in sports.
One of the roles of the Women in Sports Commission is to advice the British Virgin Islands Olympic Committee on the policy to deploy in the area of promoting women in sports.
When asked how she saw the formation of the Commission improving and enhancing the participation and involvement of women in sports in the Virgin Islands, Penn said she foresees the Commission as the vehicle for helping women and female athletes currently in sports and those who have, being able to exchange and share ideas on best practices and create a network of all women and female athletes involved in sport.
‘This is a golden opportunity to learn about each other’s vision for women and female athletes in sports in the BVI. Eventually after all the awareness, an action plan can be developed for the enhancement of all women and female athletes involved in sports and recognize the contributions others have made,’ she said. | <urn:uuid:ba956ca8-8dd3-4937-810a-2fff5e2af97c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.coldwellbankerbvi.com/blog_archive/bvi-women-athletes-form-commission/ | 2024-04-19T12:27:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.957915 | 334 |

As with whatever else in digital advertising and marketing, e-mail advertising calls for split testing. The good news is, Systeme.io supplies you a couple of different alternatives. The initial is the more standard technique. That gives you the option to contrast a control against a variation.
If you’re new to split-testing (or A/B test), the control is the initial version of something (like an e-mail) and the variation is the modified version.
So, for instance, if you intend to test a number of different subject lines to see which one offers you the highest open price, you ‘d set up your try out both various subjects. Systeme.io would split your email list and send out the control to half your contacts as well as the variant to the other half.

In simply a couple of minutes, you can create a form that requests a customer’s first name and also e-mail address. After that, you can embed that form on your site. Conversely, you can link to it from an organized website, make use of a plugin to include the email capture form to your WordPress website or include the type on your Facebook page.
If you’re trying to find a whole lot of flexibility, though, you won’t find it on Systeme.io. For example, you can’t change the layout of the type itself unless you recognize CSS.
Developing an Email
No email marketing solution would be full without a designer. Systeme.io enables you to create magnificent e-mails with a drag-and-drop user interface. That will aid you attain the precise look that you want. The editor itself resembles the type editor I explained over.

Reports will likewise show you information about your automation.

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
Henry David Thoreau
WE LIVE in the age of the oxymoron. Diversity means everyone thinks the same. Tolerance means the vicious exclusion of anyone who doesn’t. Levelling up is literally exacerbating inequality to medieval levels. Freedom passports means you require papers to watch football. Vaccines don’t prevent the infection or transmission of disease. Democracy is the imposition of new laws and policies no one voted for. Journalism is propaganda. Modern Monetary Theory means effect before cause, the ‘wet pavements cause rain’ branch of economics. Education is the process of removing information rather than importing it. That you don’t think but repeat is more important than that you learn and grow. Asymptomatic transmission means the healthy can infect the immunised. Sociopaths are philanthropists. Virtue signalling is camouflage for a collapse in morality. The green new deal is neither green, new or a deal. Environmentalists means a collection of the world’s most polluting corporations. Climate change policies are any act which preserves the most extreme forms of exploitation. War is peace, freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Owning nothing is happiness, as Orwell might have added if he were around today. Probably on social media (another oxymoron, they’re hard to escape).
A parlour game for this age of absurdity is to see how many of these logical inversions you can think of. Now I want to head in a different direction and consider two questions: What is the effect of collective cognitive dissonance? Where will it lead us?
I believe the effect of collective cognitive dissonance is the mass abdication of responsibility to authority. When something becomes impossible to understand or reconcile, the natural human instinct is to rely on authority figures – to herd. When people feel intense insecurity they abdicate freedom for perceived safety.
According to psychologist Erich Fromm (1900-1980): ‘Most people are not even aware of their need to conform. They live under the illusion that they follow their own ideas and inclinations, that they are individualists, that they have arrived at their opinions as the result of their own thinking – and that it just happens that their ideas are the same as those of the majority.’
Fromm described the concept of automaton conformity as ‘changing one’s ideal self to conform to a perception of society’s preferred type of personality, losing one’s true self in the process’. Fromm described the desire to subsume the self into the herd.
The human species now sounds like a herd of animals with the relentless repetition of alliterative phraseology: for build back better I hear moo moo moo, new normal baa baaa etc. A cacophony of mindless agreement is expressed as poetic assonance: ‘double jabbed’, we yabber at each other like a flock of jabbering birds. Another parlour game for the next lockdown is to list all the new terms and phrases which sound like advertising slogans or neuro-linguistic programming. Why the repetition? Why the repetition?
The real pandemic is everyone thinking the same, a culture so mono it feels as if ISIS won. So why is this conformity reckless?
The width of the edge is what really matters in society. Too wide and we have anarchism, too narrow totalitarianism. Mass conformity is the mechanism of totalitarianism, it is the most reckless act. Progress is always ground up, never top down. All the good stuff happens at the edge. Great art is never produced by corporations. Scientific discoveries take place in patent offices, medical breakthroughs in dirty Petri dishes, great music is made by the unemployed, entrepreneurs succeed via repeated failure. Mandela didn’t change the world from Davos. The moment the pressure on de Klerk forced him to widen the edge, the idea of freedom nursed by Mandela blossomed like a giant protea. The campaigners for women’s suffrage were on the edge of society. Nothing changes from the middle. A third game might be to look around you and list everything born of the maverick. Start with the device you’re most likely reading this article on and work your way out.
Returning to the Thoreau quote at the top of this piece: mavericks need space to dance to a different tune. The edge needs to be just wide enough. ‘And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music,’ as Nietzsche might have said. Reckless conformists hear only one note, mavericks the whole range.

Being in rural America complicates things. I cover 44,000 square miles outside the Las Vegas area. That adds up to a lot of cactuses and a limited hiring pool. It seems like all the local candidates have either already worked for us or are not qualified to work for us. As we continue to grow, we have learned to search across the country to bring talented team members in. We rely on these simple steps.
During my early career my mentor taught me that I needed to spend one-third of my time recruiting.

Sea Salt Caramel Chips Pecan Cookies aren't exactly Easter cookies, but they sure are good! And they're a great way to use caramel chips if you are lucky enough to find them. I used to only see them around the holidays, but Wegman's has them all year round. The caramel chips go great with the chewy dark brown sugar dough and the toasted pecans.
Sea Salt Caramel Chips Pecan Cookies are giant! They'd look good in any bakery. I consider the recipe the cousin to Martha Stewart's Kitchen Sink Cookies because they originate from the same source -- Martha! But Martha makes them with white chocolate. So if you can't find them and don't have time to order them from Amazon, you can use 8 oz of chopped white chocolate.
Pecan Cookies Without the Pecans
If you like the looks of these cookies but want to make them without nuts, my advice is to look for another recipe. The cookies have a lot of sugar (it makes them lumpy, bumpy and chewy), and the nuts balance out the sweetness of the sugar. You can substitute walnuts or use half walnuts and pecans, but the cookies taste pest with the full half pound of roasted pecans.

Sea Salt Caramel Chips Pecan Cookies
- 8 ounces pecan halves or pecan pieces (240 grams)
- 1 ¾ cups unbleached all-purpose flour (245 grams)

Figs Nutrition Facts & Health Benefits
Figs have a centuries-old reputation as a sustaining and nourishing food. Figs are a good source of fiber and are high in protein. They are also among the best plant sources of calcium. Here are nutrition benefits of figs.
Raw figs contain roughly 79% water, 19% carbohydrates, 1% protein, and negligible fat. They are a good source of dietary fiber. A fig supplies 16 percent of the recommended daily intake for iron, 18 percent for magnesium, and 14 percent for potassium, which benefits your heart and other organs by keeping your blood pressure and hydration in balance. Fig leaves have been found to have some potential in controlling diabetes.
When dehydrated to 30% water, figs have a carbohydrate content of 64%, protein content of 3%, and fat content of 1%. Dried figs are a rich source of dietary fiber and the essential mineral manganese, while calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin K are present in moderate amounts.
Nutritional Composition of Raw Figs
One medium raw fig provides 37 calories, 9.6 g carbohydrate, 0.38 g protein, 0.15 g fat, 1.6 g dietary fiber, 71 IU vitamin A, 1 mg vitamin C, 3 mcg folic acid, 116 mg potassium, 18 mg calcium, 9 mg magnesium, 7 mg phosphorus, and 0.18 mg iron.
Nutritional Composition of Dried Figs
One dried fig provides 21 calories, 5.47 g carbohydrate, 0.28 g protein, 0.08 g fat, and 0.8 g dietary fiber.
Raw Figs Nutrition Facts Label
Health Benefits of Figs
Figs carry an excellent source of the phenolic compound proanthocyanidins—in an even greater capacity than red wine. The skin of the fig has even more antioxidant capacity, with higher polyphenols than the pulp. In addition, lycopene is the most abundant carotenoid, followed by lutein and alpha-carotene.
Figs are well known for their fig-derived polysaccharides: Ficus carica polysaccharides. FCPS possesses both antioxidant and anti-tumor properties. Many phenolic compounds play favorable antioxidant roles in human health because they can act as reducing agents, hydrogen donators, free radical scavengers, singlet oxygen quenchers, and so forth.
Figs are an excellent source of radical scavenging and antioxidant activity. The benefits vary depending on the variety of the fig, with mission figs (dark purple) having the highest polyphenol antioxidant capacity.
This fruit is antibacterial, antiparasitic, and restorative. In some old Mediterranean folk practices, the milky sap of the fig plant was used to soften calluses, remove warts, and deter parasites.
They have a high content of mucin, a soothing laxative. Since the late 1800s, syrup of figs combined with senna has been available as a laxative.
In either fresh or dried form, they are friendly to the digestive system. This is because they contain an enzyme called ficin that assists the digestive process by exerting a soothing action on the gut. Dried figs are a rich source of fiber, iron, potassium, and calcium, making them a useful food for people with high blood pressure. They have a special affinity for the stomach, spleen, and pancreas; help moisten the lungs and large intestines; and improve liver function, which can result in improved eyesight.
Weight for weight, figs contain more fiber than most other fruits or vegetables, so they’re great for your digestive system and your cholesterol levels.
They’re also very high in polyphenol antioxidants, which makes them a valuable food for cancer prevention. The instant energy they provide and their ability to prevent cramps make them good for athletes, too.
Figs also contain the compound benzaldehyde, which has been shown in Japanese studies to shrink tumors, as well as a sulfur compound called ficin, which helps reduce joint and tissue inflammation and is used to treat injuries.
Excessive consumption of figs may cause diarrhea.
As they are very sweet, figs should be eaten only sparingly by people desiring to lose weight. However, they are an excellent food for body builders and people wanting to gain weight.
Dried figs are considered the healthiest, but be sure to avoid those treated with the preservative potassium sorbate. Remember to brush your teeth after eating dried figs because their stickiness clings to the teeth and can contribute to tooth decay.
Like other plant species in the family Moraceae, contact with the milky sap of Ficus carica followed by exposure to ultraviolet light can cause phytophotodermatitis, a potentially serious skin inflammation.
Organic chemical compounds called furanocoumarins are known to cause phytophotodermatitis in humans. The common fig contains significant quantities of two furanocoumarins, psoralen and bergapten. They are found chiefly in the milky sap of the leaves. but not in the fruit. | <urn:uuid:f07053c5-081c-4a93-9a10-4073fad0a464> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.cookingeggs.net/figs-nutrition-facts-health-benefits/ | 2024-04-19T13:04:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.934418 | 1,078 |
Jackfruit Nutrition Facts & Health Benefits
Jackfruit is a multiple fruit, consisting of edible (pulp and seed) and nonedible (rind and rachis) portions. The bean-shaped achenes of the jackfruit are coated with a firm yellowish aril (seed coat, flesh), which has an intense sweet taste at the maturity of the fruit. The pulp is enveloped by many narrow strands of fiber (undeveloped perianth), which run between the hard shell and the core of the fruit and are firmly attached to it. Jackfruit has a strong, pleasant aroma when fully ripe, and the pulp of the opened fruit tastes like a combination of apple, pineapple, mango, and banana.
Nutritional Value of Jackfruit
Jackfruit contains high levels of carbohydrates. The juicy pulp of the ripe fruit is eaten fresh as a dessert. The bulbs (excluding the seeds) are rich in sugar, fairly high in carotene, and also contain vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B6, thiamin, niacin, and riboflavin. Jackfruit is also rich in nutrients such as sodium, potassium, iron, calcium, zinc, and other nutrients.
The edible pulp is 73% water, 23% carbohydrates, 2% protein, and less than 1% fat. The carbohydrate component is primarily sugar and is a source of dietary fiber.
In a 100-gram reference amount, raw jackfruit contains 95 calories, 23.2 g carbohydrate, 1.72 g protein, 0.64 g fat, 1.5 g dietary fiber, 110 IU vitamin A, 13.7 mg vitamin C, 448 mg potassium, 2 mg sodium, 21 mg phosphorus, 24 mg calcium, 0.23 mg iron, 29 mg magnesium, and 0.13 mg zinc.
Jackfruit Nutrition Facts Label
Health Benefits of Jackfruit
Jackfruit is a rich source of potassium, with 448 mg found in 100 g of jackfruit. Studies show that foods rich in potassium help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease.
Jackfruit also contains niacin, known as vitamin B3 and necessary for energy metabolism, nerve function, and the synthesis of certain hormones. A portion of 100 g of jackfruit pulp provides 4 mg of niacin. Boiling the root of the jackfruit and extracting and consuming it with its high nutritional content has been found to control asthma.
Jackfruit is rich in vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), which is one of the B vitamins, an essential nutrient. Vitamin B6 serves as a co-factor in cellular reactions, mostly related to amino acid biosynthesis and catabolism, but also involved in fatty acid biosynthesis and other physiological functions.
Another benefit of eating jackfruit is that it is a good source of vitamin C. The human body does not make vitamin C, so one must eat food that contains vitamin C to reap its health benefits. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that protects the body against free radicals, strengthens the immune system, and keeps the gums healthy.
It can slow down aging and cell degeneration. Jackfruit contains phytonutrients, including lignans, isoflavones, and saponins, that have wide-ranging health benefits. These phytonutrients have anticancer, antihypertensive, antiulcer, and antiaging properties. The phytonutrients found in jackfruit, therefore, can prevent the formation of cancer cells in the body, can lower blood pressure, can fight against stomach ulcers, and can slow down the degeneration of cells that make the skin look young and vital.
In addition to starch, jackfruit seeds contain a substantial amount of minerals, protein, fiber, and sugars, whereas pulps contain reasonable amounts of carotene and sugar. Seeds can be used to prepare bread or dry food in supplementation with other flours,such as wheat. | <urn:uuid:58f44888-1a91-4a13-8568-173af75aa6a6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.cookingeggs.net/jackfruit-nutrition-facts-health-benefits/ | 2024-04-19T12:58:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.915678 | 806 |
When it comes to hiring a new candidate for an open position, there are a lot of factors that come into play. What if there was a way to ensure that a new hire shares similar workplace values and has the proper qualifications? Using big data when it comes to recruiting and hiring new employees can help to find a mutually suitable candidate. It can lead to a more diverse workplace and can create a faster and less expensive process of recruitment.
With the answer to a seamless workforce available, why haven’t more companies jumped to create the most efficient teams possible?
People analytics uses data to diminish business problems and enhance outcomes at all levels of an organization. By applying proven math and data science techniques to human resources, people analytics can ensure that the individuals hired are the best fit for the company, job and team. The process combines hard science with an emotional component and predicts the relationship of employee and environment. These algorithms learn and adjust according to specific needs and characteristics of the organization and factors like emotions and personality are factored in along with job qualifications.
Retention and Job Satisfaction
There are two other equally salient advantages to employing people analytics: retention and job satisfaction. Consider the 2015 National Healthcare Retention & RN Staffing Report, which found that the past four years have seen a steady rise in hospital turnover rates. The current rate is 17.2 percent, up from 13.5 percent in 2011.
This is alarming, especially given that the cost of such turnover has a profound impact on a health care facility’s bottom line: Medicare reimbursement, for example, is tied to specific HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) scores.
The alarm bells ring even louder when one also considers that several recent surveys have shown that as many as 32 percent of American workers want to leave their jobs. In an economy filled with high unemployment rates, many workers feel trapped and unhappy in their current positions. Happy workers are the key to productivity, and employing people analytics during the hiring process can lead to a more dynamic workforce with lower turnover rates.
The Math of It All
Using proprietary algorithms, we have seen a remarkable turnaround. In over 135 health care facilities across the country with which we have partnered, the turnover rate has been reduced by a median of 38 percent, with the high of 100 percent. Even in the least successful job function in the least successful department in the least successful facility, the reduction was still 13 percent.
Human expertise will always be a part of employment recruitment, hiring and retention. However, incorporating people analytics will make the process more efficient and effective and result in a better experience for the hospital, its employees and patients. | <urn:uuid:68697cfd-f67d-4862-8b2f-97cdf7dd7ce7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.corporatecomplianceinsights.com/successful-hiring-matches-personality-culture-and-talent-with-a-focus-on-people/ | 2024-04-19T11:08:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.952638 | 542 |

Today more than ever Halloween is seen as a celebration of family and community, an opportunity to join together in a fun way with costumes and masks. Children will visit neighbours to “Trick or Treat” in the hope they might get some sweet treats, families decorate their homes in preparation of the night and will often throw a Halloween Party for friends and neighbours.
Halloween, previously know as All Hallows’ Eve or All Saints’ Eve dates back to the Celts, who lived 2,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France. A celebration of the New Year on November 1 marked the end of summer and the harvest and the beginning of the cold winter, a time of year that was a struggle against the freezing temperatures and associated with death. Celts believed that on the night before the New Year, the boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 31, they celebrated ‘Samhain’, when it was believed that the ghosts of the dead returned to earth. It was thought that the presence of the spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic priests, to make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of comfort during the long, dark winter.
Eventually the celebration of Samhain evolved combining the Roman festivals of Feralia and the honouring of the Roman goddess Pomona. By the 800s the influence of Christianity had spread into Celtic lands and Pope Boniface IV designated November 1 All Saints’ Day to honour saints and martyrs. The celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas (from Middle English Alholowmesse meaning All Saints’ Day) and the night before it, the night of Samhain, began to be called All-hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween. Even later, in A.D. 1000, the church would make November 2 All Souls’ Day, a day to honour the dead. It was celebrated similarly to Samhain, with big bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costumes as saints, angels, and devils. Together, the three celebrations, the Eve of All Saints’, All Saints’, and All Souls’, were called Hallowmas.
On Halloween, when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world, people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid being recognised by these ghosts, people would wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits.
As European immigrants moved to various parts of the world, they took their varied Halloween customs with them. Because of the rigid Protestant belief systems that characterised early New England, celebration of Halloween in colonial times was extremely limited there and was much more common in southern colonies. As the beliefs and customs of different European ethnic groups, as well as the American Indians, meshed, a new version of Halloween began to emerge. The first celebrations included “play parties,” public events held to celebrate the harvest. Colonial Halloween festivities also featured the telling of ghost stories and mischief-making of all kinds. By the middle of the nineteenth century, annual autumn festivities were common, but Halloween was not yet celebrated everywhere.
In the second half of the nineteenth century, America was flooded with new immigrants. These new immigrants, especially the millions of Irish fleeing Ireland’s potato famine of 1846, helped to popularise the celebration of Halloween nationally. In the late 1800s, there was a move in America to mould Halloween into a holiday more about community and neighbourly get-togethers, than about ghostly spirits and pranks.
By the 1920s and 1930s, Halloween had become a secular, but community-centered holiday, with parades and town-wide parties as the featured entertainment. Between 1920 and 1950, taking from Irish and English traditions the centuries-old practice of trick-or-treating was also revived. Trick-or-treating was a relatively inexpensive way for an entire community to share the Halloween celebration. In theory, families could also prevent tricks being played on them by providing the neighbourhood children with small treats. A new tradition was born, and it has continued to grow. Today, Americans spend an estimated $6.9 billion annually on Halloween, making it the country’s second largest commercial holiday.
Halloween has always been a holiday filled with mystery, magic and superstition. It began as a Celtic end-of-summer festival during which people felt especially close to deceased relatives and friends. For these friendly spirits, they set places at the dinner table, left treats on doorsteps and along the side of the road and lit candles to help loved ones find their way back from the spirit world. Today Halloween is a celebration of community and enjoyed by all. | <urn:uuid:36ec695a-4ad1-4dc2-8005-9f4e023aa6b9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.costumeland.com.au/halloween-ancient-beginnings/ | 2024-04-19T13:07:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.973493 | 1,012 |
Williwaw - Razor Sharp Edge
Designed by Jim Hammond in Birmingham, Alabama.
Art in motion. They say, “dress for success.” If that’s the case, the Williwaw knife’s wispy, artful handles take the cake, sitting squarely at the intersection of beauty and functionality. It’s upping the ante for everyday carry knives. Black tie not required.
Jim Hammond is the very first knife designer we worked with way back in 1994, and we’ve been deeply admiring of his talent and unparalleled work ethic ever since. From his studio in Birmingham, Alabama, the knives he produces are renowned and remembered. He’s been a member of the Knifemakers’ Guild for over four decades, and truly, his designs simply keep getting better and better. So when he presented us with his vision for his newest design, we couldn’t wait to see it come to fruition. The cherry on top was the name he had chosen: Williwaw, nodding at a frigid wind that originates in the Alaskan mountains and ends blasting into the coastal fjords.
A practical modified drop point blade with a satin finish sets the tone, deployed with a subtle flipper. Opening this one is a breeze with the IKBS ball bearing pivot mechanism. Stainless steel spheres reduce friction around the pivot for quick, consistent operation, and once open, the blade is locked in place with a frame lock to keep digits safe.
The real show-stopper of the knife is its black stonewash stainless steel handle whose curvy, wandering lines expertly illustrate its well-chosen name.
The Williwaw: an awesome representation of an artist at work.

All over the world kids go through a hard time in their life, for an example, divorce. Divorce is probably one of the most common struggles to go through in life and it's sad to say that it happens to a lot of families, including me. It is a topic that is very hard to talk about and deal with over your lifetime. When my parents got divorced it had changed me as a person.
My siblings and I, worried and scared as can be, seated on my soft pink bed waiting for the breaking news, that would impact on our life forever. The horrid thoughts going through my mind of worry. Worrying about how this will change me through my life, where are we going to live, and am I ever going to see both of my parents again? I knew that I just …show more content…
The words come out of my mom's scared mouth, “ Guys we are so sorry to say this, but me and your father are getting a divorce.” The room is still silent. My heart suddenly stopped. I started feeling dizzy and I felt like I was going to throw up. Those hurtful words repeating on and off in my sorrow brian. Everything went blank, I didn't know what to do. My mom spoke again with worry in her voice, “ We are so sorry, we will try our best to make it easy for you.” Looking over at my siblings with tears rolling down like rivers on their sad faces, kept quiet. Everything that had happened in those quick horrid minutes, were the last and I couldn't change them. I knew that my life was ruined and it would never be the same again.
That same horrible school year was awful. The repeating words of, “ We’re getting a divorce,” going on and off in my brain, while the sounds of the deathful rings go off in my ears.
My anxiety went higher, my self esteem went higher, and my own self as a person went lower. I didn't feel like the same person that I was before. I acted like a sweet young girl who was always happy in class and to the outside world, but in reality I was in pain. I always had doubt in myself that I was never going to get | <urn:uuid:d63562fd-8efc-4a4d-9422-23553e1ed582> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.cram.com/essay/Parents-Divorce-Essay-My-Parents-And-Parents/PCWEKYSYUR | 2024-04-19T12:15:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.991288 | 469 |
Prostate Cancer Exosome Research Solution
Online InquiryProstate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cancer type among men globally. Most patients with PCa present with locally advanced or metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis, thus limiting the effectiveness of conventional treatment. The development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for castration-resistant and chemo-resistant PCa is essential. Exosomes derived from PCa cells have shown great potential in the treatment and diagnosis of PCa.
The role of exosomes in prostate cancer
Exosomes deliver functional biomolecules, such as nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins to mediate the communication between cancer cells and stroma cells. Studies have shown that prostate cancer development, metastasis and chemoresistance are associated with exosomes loaded with these biomolecules, especially proteins, miRNAs, and lncRNAs. PCa cells regulate the surrounding stromal cells through exosomes, thereby regulating the microenvironment and promoting tumor growth and metastasis. Exosomes derived from PCa cells have been found to contribute to chemotherapy resistance in cancer. In addition, exosomes are promising carriers of drugs and other therapeutic molecules targeting PCa due to their high stability and low immunogenicity on lipid bilayer membranes. The isolation and detection of exosomes from body fluids can also be used for the non-invasive diagnosis of PCa.
- Exosomes promote PCa progression, involving miR-139, miR-21 and miR-100 containing exosomes
- Exosomes promote PCa cell growth along with metastasis, involving miRNA-21 and miRNA-139 containing exosomes
- Exosomes regulate angiogenic activity in the tumor microenvironment, involving c-Src tyrosine kinase, insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-R) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) containing exosomes
- PCa-originated exosomes enhance cancer cell evasion of immune response

People have said in response to the release of the Boy Scouts of America files, “well, gee, that’s too bad and all, but all that abuse was in the past and the BSA is a much better organization than it was in terms of protecting kids.” To which we have said, “well, let’s hope so, but, judging from the frequency with which Scout leaders are still regularly being arrested these days, we wonder.” That is why we have called for Congress to do an inquiry and an audit into the BSA’s current child abuse procedures and policies. Are they working? Is the problem better or worse than it used to be? Given that the BSA steadfastly refuses to release the modern Perversion files—from 1985-2011, who really knows the scope or the scale of the problem? BSA alone. And, I’m sorry, when BSA asks us, essentially, to trust them that they are taking care of things, my response is: “Uh, I don’t think so. We did that once in this society, and it didn’t work out very well for tens of thousands of boys. How about we ask Congress to find out what is really going on?” We are still waiting for an answer from the Scouts on this.
Here is an excellent article listing many recent instances of Scout leader abuse of boys. So I just don’t buy it when BSA says that it’s all better now. | <urn:uuid:bc082a9a-c35a-4646-ae38-8eb9175f3880> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.crewjanci.com/boy-scout-perversion-files-released-today-2/ | 2024-04-19T13:11:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.97985 | 318 |

Companies, celebrities, and influencers who hawk crypto will soon have to warn potential buyers that the investments they peddle may lead to financial ruin—at least in one jurisdiction.
On Monday, South Africa’s Advertising Regulatory Board released new guidelines obliging crypto advertisements to “expressly and clearly state that investing in crypto assets may result in the loss of capital as the value is variable and can go up as well as down.”
The directive added that advertorials have to be both balanced and simply worded while avoiding the presentation of past performance in such a way that “creates a favorable impression of the advertised product or service.”
Influencers and “ambassadors,” meanwhile, “may share factual information only,” and “may not offer advice on trading or investing in crypto assets” or “promise benefits or returns.”
Crypto ads rise, then fall
Crypto companies poured billions of dollars into publicity over the course of 2020 and 2021, with major crypto companies like Crypto.com, Coinbase, and since-collapsed crypto exchange FTX launching a number of high-profile commercials.
Adverts played at the Super Bowl, were stitched into the kits of major sports teams, and starred celebrities including Curb Your Enthusiasm creator Larry David.
After the broad crypto collapse, a number of those celebrities were named in lawsuits pertaining to the collapse of investments they marketed. Their ranks included David, Jimmy Fallon, as well as Kim Kardashian, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and Tom Brady.
David, for instance, was criticized for having appeared in an advert that encouraged investors to “pour billions of dollars into the deceptive FTX platform.”
Ironically, David’s character in the advert was an out-of-touch curmudgeon who dismisses investing in FTX as a bad idea, having previously dismissed the wheel, as well as the Apollo moon landing, as unfeasible.
Scores of celebrities and influencers were also paid to plug products from their social media accounts, often without official disclosure.
A notorious segment of comedian Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show” included an interview with Paris Hilton in which the two awkwardly gushed over their newly purchased “Bored Ape” NFTs.
Neither mentioned that they had been gifted the NFTs as part of a marketing campaign.

Crypto Investing Risk Warning
Crypto assets are highly volatile. Your capital is at risk.
Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest.
This is a high-risk investment, and you should not expect to be protected if something goes wrong. | <urn:uuid:bb3405ba-25ec-4b87-a623-4d8d900d4bd1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.cryptobreaking.com/south-african-crypto-ads-must-now-state-investments-may-result-in-loss-of-capital/ | 2024-04-19T11:45:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.964133 | 575 |
In Spring 2013, CSaP began working in collaboration with the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST), to run an horizon scanning process examining potential interactions between emerging public policy issues in the UK and wider developments in science and technology, looking forward five to ten years.
This work engaged policy-makers from across government and stakeholders with specialist expertise in science policy issues (drawn from academia, business, and civil society). The expectation was that it would help raise awareness of the potential public dimensions of numerous science and technology policy challenges that are still ‘on the horizon’ in the UK.
The project had three distinct stages, as follows:
- CSaP initially sought the input of a diverse cross-section of the policy-making community, whose insights were used to compile a long-list of specific, new and emerging public policy issues. These issues were more tangible than ‘grand challenges’ such as Living With Environmental Change or Energy Futures. For instance, they may have included the development of autonomous road vehicles, new types of disease in farming livestock, or the consequences of an increased use of personalised information in the delivery of public services.
- This long list of issues were then be circulated to stakeholders with specialist knowledge of a range of scientific and technological domains, including scientists themselves, academics, industry representatives, science journalists, and others. These groups’ input helped CSaP to refine the long list of policy issues, and to draw links between specific areas of policy and novel developments in science and research.
- Finally, once all these groups’ inputs had been collated, a refined list of policy issues, complete with science and technology dimensions, were circulated to all those who participated in stages one and two, the aim being to facilitate a vote on those issues that were deemed most worthy of in-depth discussion at a one-day workshop.
A multi-disciplinary advisory group were on hand throughout each stage of the process to provide external support, guidance and suggestions (see below for further details on this group’s composition).
Following a workshop in Cambridge, Sciencewise-ERC (the project’s funders) used the outputs to help map areas of policy in the UK where public dialogue with science could support more effective policy-making. POST then ran a follow-up workshop in Parliament to debate further the implications of the earlier workshop, helping to ensure that key findings were communicated as widely as possible.
Thirty issues were identified and published in PLOS in May 2014. The paper – Identifying the Science and Technology Dimensions of Emerging Public Policy Issues through Horizon Scanning – can be viewed here.
A further report was then published with Sciencewise-ERC in September 2014, and can be found here.

Commercial kitchens are battlegrounds against fire, not dragons (although sometimes the heat might make you think so!). Grease, the secret weapon of deliciousness, also loves to turn villains, transforming into a serious fire hazard. But fear not, brave chefs! Hood filters, the unsung heroes of the kitchen, are here to save the day.
These bad boys hang out above the stoves and fryers, acting like shields against the greasy onslaught. They trap those sneaky grease particles before they can sneak into the ventilation system and cause major trouble. Imagine grease buildup as kindling – just one spark and whoosh, kitchen inferno! Hood filters prevent that by keeping the ventilation system clean and clear.
But don't think they're just glorified grease vacuums. Hood filters are like smart filters, designed to let the good air (and delicious smells) flow through while trapping the bad grease. This keeps the air flowing smoothly and prevents things from getting too hot, another recipe for disaster.
Of course, even heroes need a break. Regular cleaning and, sometimes, even replacing hood filters is crucial. A clogged filter is like putting a wet towel over your mouth – it can't do its job!
So, the next time you see a hood filter in a kitchen, give it a fist bump (metaphorically, of course). These silent guardians are essential for keeping the kitchen safe and the food fantastic.
How Exactly Grease Hood Filters Work?
Grease filters are an essential component of commercial kitchen hood systems; their purpose is to extract grease particles from cooking vapors. Their purpose is to filter out greasy particles from cooking odors so that the ventilation system can circulate cleaner air. They work with several tiers of metal baffles. The air, which is packed with grease, is pushed to quickly reverse course as soon as it encounters these baffles. The heavier grease particles become lodged in the filter during this process. The kitchen's fire risk is decreased since less heat and smoke escape.
Why Hood Filter Maintenance is Vital for Kitchen Safety
One of the first lines of defense in the fight against grease duct fires is thought to be kitchen hood filters. It's essential to clean and maintain these filters on a regular basis to avoid grease accumulation, preserve adequate airflow, and guarantee the exhaust system runs well. While fire extinguishers and alarms are crucial, preventing fires is even better. This is where hood filters play a starring role, acting as silent guardians against greasy threats.
Imagine a clogged hood filter – it's like a blocked chimney, trapping grease and heat instead of letting them escape. This can lead to a dangerous buildup, increasing the risk of a fire igniting with just one spark.
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure your hood filters function properly. This includes cleaning them frequently to remove grease buildup and replacing them when they become saturated or damaged. For professional and reliable Hood Filter Cleaning & Replacement services, don't hesitate to consult experts. They'll help you keep your kitchen safe and compliant with fire safety regulations.
Can I Clean Hood Filters Myself?
Cleaning hood filters yourself is possible with the right tools and know-how. For exhaust hood cleaning, start by removing the filters and soaking them in a solution of hot water and degreaser. Scrub them gently to remove built-up grease and grime.
While some filters can be cleaned in-house, professional cleaning is often recommended. They have specialized equipment and techniques to ensure thorough cleaning and avoid damaging the filters.
Remember to also clean the surrounding area of the exhaust hood to ensure optimal performance and safety. If you're unsure or prefer professional assistance, many companies offer Exhaust Hood Cleaning Services for thorough maintenance.
What Are the Signs that My Hood Filters Need Cleaning?
Hood Filters in Kitchens, Mandatory or Must-Have?
Forget regulations, think fire safety! Grease in kitchens is like a sneaky villain, just waiting to spark trouble. Hood filters are like superheroes, catching that grease before it becomes a flame-thrower. They might not be officially mandatory everywhere, but trust us, you wouldn't want to cook without them.
Imagine a kitchen with a clogged filter – it's like a blocked chimney, just asking for trouble. Instead of delicious smells, you get smokey alarms and potential fires. Hood filters keep things safe and cookin', allowing everyone to focus on what matters: creating amazing food.
So, are hood filters mandatory? Not technically, but highly recommended for anyone who wants to avoid fire hazards and keep their kitchen (and everyone in it) safe. After all, prevention is always better than a fire drill!
In conclusion, the significance of hood filters in commercial kitchen fire safety cannot be overstated. These unsung heroes act as the frontline defense, trapping grease and preventing it from accumulating in exhaust systems, reducing the risk of devastating fires. The implementation of a reliable hood filter maintenance routine, such as with Capital Steam Hood Cleaner, becomes a pivotal aspect of maintaining a safe kitchen environment. It is not merely a matter of compliance with safety regulations but a proactive measure to safeguard both the establishment and its occupants.
Recognizing the interconnectedness of fire safety, efficiency, and overall operational success, prioritizing the proper care and maintenance of hood filters emerges as a crucial responsibility for anyone involved in the management of commercial kitchens. By investing in the well-being of these often-overlooked components, businesses can confidently uphold a standard of excellence in fire prevention and kitchen safety. | <urn:uuid:56944e92-046b-480b-b4f2-5902bb223c06> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.cshoodcleaners.com/post/role-of-hood-filters-in-commercial-kitchen | 2024-04-19T12:33:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.951574 | 1,130 |
What: If dinosaurs could talk, this site provides accounts of what they might say. And eat. And do in their spare time.
Best points: This is as close to a museum exhibit as anything online. The Dinosaur Dictionary profiles 300 of the ancient creatures, including the pronunciation of their scientific names; the order, suborder, and family to which they belong; where they once lived; their average height and weight; and a shadowed drawing of their appearance.
"I tip the scales at 100 tons," bellows the Seismosaurus, one of the longest dinosaurs to ever roam the earth and just one of 20 that "speaks" on this site - a list that includes Ankylosaurus, Baronyx, and Pachycephalosaurus. "At my size, I don't have any natural enemies other than old age or accidents," Seismosaurus continues. "It's best not to get underfoot when I'm around."
What you should know: With links devoted to the discovery and classification of dinosaurs, where to see them, and theories/controversies surrounding them, this site caters to a wide range of ages and levels of familiarity with the subject. And, just like a museum, it has the online equivalent of a gift store: a shopping link. | <urn:uuid:f16af871-b745-42b5-b695-a304d05fa080> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0909/p12s02-legn.html | 2024-04-19T12:49:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.950987 | 262 |
Orlando Personal Injury Lawyers Question New Florida Insurance Law
James O. Cunningham and other Orlando personal injury attorneys are voicing their opposition to a new Florida law expected to take effect on July 1. State legislators recently amended the statute that governs personal injury protection (PIP) insurance. Mr. Cunningham and his colleagues believe that the changes could harm people who suffer injuries that are not immediately apparent, such as head and neck injuries from auto accidents. In our state, PIP insurance is a type of no-fault insurance coverage that pays up to $10,000 for injuries suffered in an accident regardless of who is responsible for causing the accident.
Lobbyists for the insurance industry have been lobbying lawmakers to amend the PIP statute for some time in an effort to reduce staged auto accidents and other types of insurance fraud. They also told lawmakers that an amendment would reduce excessive billing practices by health care providers. Some of the provisions in the new amendment include the following:
- There will be a new state agency that will be overseen by Florida’s Chief Financial Officer that will combat fake auto accidents and other types of PIP fraud.
- There will be tougher licensing requirements on health clinics.
- PIP payments for massage therapy and acupuncture will no longer be allowed.
- All drivers and passengers involved in an auto accident will now be required on the accident report.
- PIP payments for non-emergency medical treatment will be capped at $2,500, and a licensed doctor, dentist, supervised physician’s assistant, osteopathic doctor or advanced registered nurse practitioner must prove that the person receiving the payment suffered an "emergency medical condition."
Mr. Cunningham and other auto accident lawyers say that the changes limit coverage for injured people and will not provide the lower insurance rates for drivers that the insurance companies claim. More important, they fear that the new amendment will unfairly penalize people with injuries that do not become apparent until weeks or months after the accident, such as head and neck injuries. People who suffer these types of injuries often don’t realize that they have been injured until they begin to experience chronic pain long after the accident. Worst of all, the new law imposes a 14-day time period for injured people to seek medical treatment or they will be ineligible to receive the benefits of the PIP coverage they have purchased.
Insurance companies are in business to make money, not disburse it, and many injured people end up accepting less compensation than they are due simply because they get tired of dealing with their insurer. If you or a close family member has been injured, it is a very good idea to speak with an experienced Orlando personal injury lawyer like Mr. Cunningham before you sign any documentation from an insurer. Before you sign any papers, call Mr. Cunningham today at 800-425-2004 to schedule a free consultation. Let him deal with the insurance companies while you and your family focus on healing.

Few contemporary Indian artists can claim to be as well known as Maqbool Fida Husain, better known as M F Husain. If he was still alive, the prolific artist would have celebrated his 100th birthday on September 17, 2015. Over an illustrious, and even controversial, career that spanned five decades, the doyen produced a large number of paintings, the values of which have increased substantially since his death. Let’s take a look at some of his paintings that will help you understand his work better.
1. Bharat Mata (2004)
One of Husain’s most controversial pieces, the painting depicts a nude woman drawn to mimic the shape of India, with the names of states on her body. The artist had tried to distance himself from the controversy by stating that he did not attest the name Bharat Mata to the painting.
2. Three Dynasties (2008)
Hussain uses three panels to juxtapose three Indian dynasties and climatic moments from the Mughal, Mauryan and British dynasties under Akbar, Ashoka and Queen Victoria respectively. This is part of a series of eight paintings, under the Indian civilisation series, which Husain worked on in his last few years. He planned a total of 96 panels under the series, but completed only 24 before his death.
3. Tale of Three Cities
Among his last few pieces, and part of the Indian civilisation series, is this work which represents Delhi, Varanasi and Kolkata and their associations as being cities which represent politics, spirituality and culture respectively.
4. Draupadi (1971)
Husain’s affinity towards painting the female figure is visible in a number of his paintings. The painting consists of a large female nude, surrounded by miniature male figures, representing how Draupadi was controlled by the men in her life.
5. Draupadi on dice (1971)
Yet another piece on Draupadi represents the Mahabharata heroine mid-fall, as she screams, while surrounded by dice.

The Diversity of Focus in Small Regional Chambers
The Columbia Valley Chamber of Commerce (CVCC) is located in Invermere BC, however it serves many smaller communities throughout the “Columbia Valley” region (including but not limited to Radium Hot Springs, Fairmont Hot Springs, Canal Flats, Edgewater and Windermere). The region boasts a population of approximately 12,000 full time residents, and an impressive number of part-time residents (approximately 4000 residences in the valley are second homes) as it is a popular vacation spot for Alberta residents being only three hours from Calgary. The CVCC membership base generally hovers between 325 to 350 members, which includes a diverse mix of businesses and non-profit organizations.
Businesses in the region must be resilient and diverse to withstand the unique and seasonal demands of this environment – the Chamber of Commerce representing them must be equally so. Particular challenges posed to the Columbia Valley include maintaining robust Economic Development in the region, Physician Recruitment, and unsurprisingly, Housing. The Columbia Valley Chamber of Commerce is working in each of these areas to facilitate education, growth and to maintain a positive presence in their communities.
Economic development is a nebulous term that can refer to many facets of community growth. The Columbia Valley is an easy place to love, but not necessarily always an easy place to live. The CVCC is dedicated to increasing the opportunities of existing and potential businesses in the area, made possible by the contract work they do as the Columbia Valley Community Economic Development Office (CVCEDO). The CVCEDO is a service of the Regional District of East Kootenay with initiatives that include, (but are no means limited to!) support of the Columbia Valley Housing Society (CVHS), hosting local job fairs and attending job recruitment events across the country, supporting local childcare staff training and logistic needs to increase capacity, attracting film projects, and a significant destination signage project. The CVCEDO strives to attract and retain a sustainable and thriving workforce, encourages investment, retention, and support of local business, and maintain visibility and goodwill amongst businesses and the community at large.
It is always a challenge to attract Doctors and locums to a rural practice. In our region, while maintaining a busy practice, family doctors and general practitioners also work at the hospital emergency department which can be unpredictable and demanding. However, working in a location such as the Columbia Valley can provide invaluable and diverse experience for physicians. The Physician Recruitment program aims to fill several positions and attract long-term locums to the area. Representatives from an established Recruitment Committee attend two highly beneficial conference/tradeshows each year: The Society of Rural Physicians of Canada – “Annual Rural & Remote Medicine Conference”, and the Rural Coordination Centre of BC – “BC Rural Health Conference”. Once prospective recruits are identified, members of the Recruitment Committee will host tours of the area for prospective general practitioners (and their families) and plan welcome meetings for visiting locums, residents, and students. They also created a Physician Recruitment Website which is regularly maintained.
As one can imagine in a community with a seasonal population that easily doubles the full-time resident numbers, the challenge of finding housing to support the staffing and family needs in the region feels insurmountable. The Columbia Valley Housing Society was formed in 2022 as an attempt to dedicate resources to helping solve this urgent crisis, and a full time Project Manager was hired in 2023. The Society has partnered with local government in purchasing and managing housing and is currently in negotiations to both purchase and build or develop other multi-unit long-term rentable dwellings. They have recently been designated a registered charity and are actively seeking donors, particularly within the business community; support of the housing society is a direct way to create housing opportunities for critically needed staffing. Recent studies estimate that 14% of full-time employment positions remain unfilled in the Columbia Valley and the vast majority of respondents blame the current housing availability.
The Columbia Valley Chamber of Commerce is an organization dedicated to serving their members in a plethora of useful, creative, and interesting ways – diversity is an essential piece of this puzzle. Rural Regional Chambers experience a unique set of challenges, and therefore must consider many and varied solutions to those problems. The previous three examples are a snapshot of how the Columbia Valley Chamber of Commerce has worked towards solving a few pressing issues in their communities.

are antimicrobial phone cases toxic
Antimicrobial phone cases have become increasingly popular in recent years. However, concerns have been raised about the potential toxicity of these products. This article aims to explore whether antimicrobial phone cases are safe to use and what you need to know before buying one.
What are antimicrobial phone cases?
Antimicrobial phone cases are designed to protect your phone from bacteria and other microorganisms. They are made with materials that have antibacterial properties, such as silver ions or copper particles. The idea is that these materials will kill bacteria on contact, keeping your phone clean and hygienic.
Why are people concerned about the toxicity of antimicrobial phone cases?
There are several reasons why people are concerned about the toxicity of antimicrobial phone cases. Firstly, the materials used to make these products may not be entirely safe for humans. Silver and copper particles, for example, can be toxic if ingested or inhaled. There are also concerns about the potential for these materials to leach into the environment if the phone case is not disposed of properly.
Secondly, there is a concern that the constant use of antimicrobial phone cases may disrupt the natural balance of bacteria on our skin. Our bodies are home to trillions of bacteria, and some of them are actually beneficial to our health. By constantly using antimicrobial products, we may be inadvertently killing off the good bacteria as well as the bad.
What do the experts say about the safety of antimicrobial phone cases?
The evidence surrounding the safety of antimicrobial phone cases is somewhat mixed. Some studies have suggested that they are effective at killing bacteria, while others have raised concerns about their potential toxicity.
One study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology found that silver nanoparticles were toxic to human liver cells, even at relatively low concentrations. However, the study also noted that the toxicity of these particles may depend on factors such as their size and shape.
Another study published in the Journal of Environmental Science and Health found that phone cases containing copper particles were effective at reducing the amount of bacteria on a phone's surface. However, the study also noted that further research is needed to determine the long-term safety of these products.
Overall, it seems that antimicrobial phone cases can be effective at reducing the amount of bacteria on your phone. However, more research is needed to determine whether they are entirely safe for humans and the environment.
What should you consider before buying an antimicrobial phone case?
If you are considering purchasing an antimicrobial phone case, there are several factors you should consider. Firstly, you should look for products that are certified as safe by reputable organizations such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
You should also consider the materials used to make the phone case. Some products may contain harmful chemicals or heavy metals, so it's important to choose a product made with safe and non-toxic materials.
Finally, it's essential to dispose of your phone case wholesale properly. Many antimicrobial phone cases are not biodegradable, so you should avoid throwing them in the trash. Instead, look for recycling programs or other eco-friendly ways to dispose of your phone case.
Antimicrobial phone cases can be an effective way to keep your phone clean and hygienic. However, there are concerns about their potential toxicity and impact on the environment. If you are considering purchasing an antimicrobial phone case, it's important to consider the materials used to make the product, look for certification from reputable organizations, and dispose of the phone case properly. By doing so, you can enjoy the benefits of an antimicrobial phone case while minimizing any potential risks.

How to fix paper jam in Hp printer
Struggling with a paper jam in your Hp printer? Need not worry now, since we have found a way out for you by providing all the possible causes and their step-by-step solutions with some valuable tips to fix paper jam in your Hp printer.
“Why paper jam takes place”? While working in an office or at home this could be the most common printer issue that anyone can face, sometimes we insert paper incorrectly, damaged rollers can also bring this error, low-quality cartridges or some low-quality papers.
Whatever issue there could be, We are here to bring you out of the issues that you are facing with your Hp printer. These troubleshooting steps are generally relevant to HP printers, however, they ought to apply to most standard printer models.
So, let’s start with it
Steps to fix paper jam in Hp printer
Turn off and unplug the printer from the power supply
This guarantees that it’s safe for you to nudge the printer’s internal parts, and furthermore ensures the printer against mechanical harm.
- Begin with canceling any printing jobs that are in progress, and afterward turn off and unplug your printer from the power supply.
When you unplug the printer, shift it (if vital) so you can get to the rear of the unit. (This will prove to be useful if the paper jam hasn’t happened directly by the paper plate.)
If you utilize a laser printer, give it around 30 minutes to chill off before proceeding to the following steps.
Pull out all printer paper from the plate and afterward reload it
Mostly paper jams take place as the printer paper feeds into the printer, so start at the paper plate or tray.
- Eliminate any paper from the tray so you can see inside the printer properly.
In the event that paper is stuck at the opening of the printer, slowly and tenderly haul out each sheet in turn, beginning in the middle of the stack.
When you pull out any large sheets, investigate the machine to ensure you haven’t left behind any little pieces of paper.
Then, review the paper that had been sitting on the plate for indications of damage, and recycle any paper that has been torn or folded.
Then, at that point cautiously re-stack the leftover paper and load it back into the tray.
Ensure the plate is completely driven into its space so the paper feeds appropriately into the printer.
Open the duplexer or back access door (or whatever other doors that give you admittance to the paper’s way through the printer)
This permits you to get two things done. In the first place, you ought to have the option to eliminate stuck paper from the rollers with less danger of harming the printer.
- Pull it gradually and delicately to avoid tears, and make certain to eliminate any smaller pieces of paper left behind.
On the off chance that you’re not being able to eliminate all of the stuck paper from the backside of the printer, you may have to tenderly remove it from the front.
The accentuation here is on “delicately” or “gently”: Aggressively eliminating paper from under the front cover can harm the printer.
Also, you can survey the rollers inside the printer. On the off chance that they look dirty or filthy, delicately clean them with a soft towel since debris may get on paper and cause jams, so eliminating the trash may fix the issue.
Likewise, verify whether the rollers turn freely on the off chance that they don’t, which means that you may have to replace the rollers before the printer works appropriately once more. Try not to attempt to force the rollers to move, which can harm the printer.
Close the doors and plugin and switch on the printer
- Try to close the doors firmly, as a loose door can make the paper become slanted inside the machine once more.
Switch on your printer and give it a trial. (Most printers print a test page after you press and hold the “continue” button until the machine begins back up.)
Important tips for avoiding frequent paper jams
- Ensure your gadget’s paper is accurately stacked into space or tray.
- Don’t overload the tray If your printer has a paper tray. Stuffing the paper tray is oftentimes the reason for paper jams.
- When you reload your input tray, focus on the tray’s requirements. This incorporates how the paper ought to be loaded, and if the width or length guides need adjusting.
- Do not blend the paper sizes or types in a single stack. This can confuse the printer and will straightforwardly bring paper jams.
- Fan the stack of paper that you’re going to load on the tray. This will release any sheets that might be stuck together.
- Utilize just a single sort of paper at a time in your input tray. On the off chance that you’re uncertain about whether your machine takes a particular sort of paper, check its documentation.
- The quality of paper you utilize will have an impact. Continuously attempt to utilize suggested sort of printer’s paper.
- Regularly run device cleaning cycles. This aide keeps the paper pathway neat & clean. It is likewise prescribed to turn off the printer, in case you’re not going to utilize it for some time. A few people turn their printers off each night. What this does is that it brings gadgets’ small-scale cleaning cycles into play, which are gainful in keeping the gadget inconvenience-free.
- Examine the printer for any debris from past print jobs that will keep on causing issues.
So, here we are done with it. I hope that this guide turned out to be helpful to you. Fixing paper jams is a hassle-free process and can be done easily. However, if you are still confronting the issue, then there could be some problem with the printer’s hardware, maybe the rollers need to be replaced or some other part.

Laura McAllister, the former Wales captain, has secured a place on Uefa’s executive committee. The 58-year-old had been due to stand for election for the post in April, but she has been appointed unopposed, making her the first Welsh person to serve on Uefa’s executive committee.
McAllister had been backed by the Football Association of Wales (FAW).
Uefa also confirmed that president Aleksander Ceferin will stand unopposed for re-election.
— FA WALES (@FAWales) February 16, 2023
“I am very grateful to everyone who has supported me on this journey so far and to the FAW for nominating me,” McAllister said.
“Welsh football is breaking through a lot of glass ceilings currently and joining the Uefa executive committee will be a tremendous achievement for the FAW and a very proud moment for me and my family.
“Once I am officially elected to the executive committee at the congress in April, I will give all I have to working to improve European football and I look forward to contributing towards a bright future for football for everyone in our beautiful game.”
McAllister had narrowly lost an election to be Uefa’s representative for women on Fifa’s ruling council in 2021, but she is now set to achieve a historic first for Welsh football.
“When Laura’s position on the Uefa executive committee is formally confirmed in April, we will have achieved yet another huge milestone in our strategy, with Laura becoming the first person from Wales on a Uefa or Fifa board in the history of the FAW,” said FAW chief executive Noel Mooney.
Meanwhile, Ceferin, who is also running unopposed, was re-elected to the same role in 2019.
Slovenian lawyer Ceferin took over as Uefa president in 2016 after France’s Michel Platini stepped down after being banned by Fifa over ethics breaches.
Despite criticism over an independent report finding Uefa bears “primary responsibility” for the chaotic scenes that “almost led to disaster” before last year’s Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid, Ceferin has maintained his position as Uefa’s president. | <urn:uuid:04624a2b-ea9a-48c9-bde8-2f64ae1d37ca> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.dai-sport.com/laura-mcallister-becomes-first-welsh-face-on-uefa-executive-committee/ | 2024-04-19T12:34:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.974553 | 497 |
Kuala Lumpur, Sep 18 (IANS) The Malaysian police have sought help from their Indian counterparts and the Interpol to trace an Indian millionaire who has been missing since January when he arrived here to seal a business deal.
A. Muthuraja, a Chennai-based millionaire, was allegedly last seen with the two lawyer brothers who were arrested last month for the murder of Malaysian woman entrepreneur Sosilawati Lawiya and three others.
Muthuraja was said to have contacted his wife, Usharani, and told her that he met the lawyer brothers at the airport here.
She said she failed to contact her husband for several days later and became worried and lodged a report with the Indian high commission here.
Muthuraja's wife has charged that her husband could not be traced as "authorities" refused to release him despite her family having paid RM 80,000 ($25,777) through a middleman.
The police here have asked their Indian counterparts to help obtain DNA samples from the family members of Muthuraja, whose business interests in Chennai include financing film production.
The Malysian authorities said that police here needed the samples following the discovery of hundreds of bone fragments, believed to belong to as many as 20 persons who might have been killed and dumped in the Sungai Panchau river bed in Banting.
"Police in Malaysia are not sure if the businessman is dead or alive and the DNA samples are needed to assist in investigations," The Star newspaper said Saturday, quoting an unnamed source who also said it would take a few days for the DNA samples to be sent to Malaysia.
Selangor police chief Khalid Abu Bakar, meanwhile, confirmed the arrest of a 34-year-old Malaysian man in connection with the missing Muthuraja.
The role of Selangor police has come in for criticism and Bakar said the anti-graft cell in his force would investigate "policemen who live beyond their known means", who are alleged to have hushed up the involvement of the lawyer brothers in last week's killings.
The serial disappearances and killings triggered political controversies Friday.
T. Murgiah, an ethnic Indian and a deputy minister in Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak's government, alleged that he had been subjected to a smear campaign through SMSes, that he had links with two main suspects, who have not been named so far.
Murgiah hinted at his political rival, M. Kayveas, who heads the People's Progressive Party (PPP) with which he had an acrimonious parting earlier this year.
A similar SMS campaign also took place between leaders of opposition Democratic Action Party (DAP) and Perkasa leaders.
The police Saturday said they had built up "an iron clad case" and would approach the Attorney General's office next week to pursue judicial processes.
Prime Minister Najib has commended the role of the police in the investigations. His government has said that there was no racial bias in the investigations that were being pursued as per the law. | <urn:uuid:f1955cd2-c3ed-4042-93e0-a44f8ad0acc4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay?newsID=85882 | 2024-04-19T11:57:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.989411 | 631 |
Mercato: Steven Gerrard on his way to Saudi Arabia
Out of a job since being sacked by Aston Villa last October, Steven Gerrard is close to joining the Saudi league.
Steven Gerrard is also set to play in the Saudi Pro League next season. The Liverpool legend is in the process of joining Saudi club Ettifaq FC, with whom he had already negotiated last month without reaching an agreement at the time.
— James Pearce (@JamesPearceLFC) July 3, 2023
But according to The Athletic, the former Glasgow Rangers and Aston Villa coach has received a new offer from the Saudi club and is now very close to joining them. Ettifaq FC finished 7th in the Saudi league last season and boasts the likes of Franco-Congolese defender Marcel Tisserand and Tunisian attacking midfielder Naïm Sliti. | <urn:uuid:5898cc6f-be81-49eb-a475-2b384b6d710a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.daily-transfer.com/news/mercato-steven-gerrard-on-his-way-to-saudi-arabia | 2024-04-19T11:11:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.972076 | 174 |
NPR's "Fresh Air" with Terry Gross has broadcast an unsettling interview with three representatives of Physicians for Human Rights who describe in disturbing detail a seven-year investigation of a mass grave in the desert of Dasht-e-Leili, near Sheberghan, Afghanistan.
On July 11, The New York Times published a front-page piece by Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter James Risen, who reported that Bush administration officials had repeatedly discouraged efforts to investigate the mass killing of as many as 2,000 Taliban prisoners by the forces of a US-backed warlord, General Abdul Rashid Dostum, in November 2001. General Dostum, the Times revealed, was on the CIA payroll.
The Times article focused on new revelations that despite requests by officials from the FBI, the State Department, the International Committee of the Red Cross and human rights groups for a formal investigation, Bush administration officials repeatedly impeded any inquiry because General Dostum worked closely with the CIA and US special forces.
On July 17, Gen. Dostum denounced the Times story -- along with an August 2002 Newsweek cover story on the massacre. Nevertheless, Dostum admitted that the Taliban prisoners had surrendered jointly to US forces and to his own Northern Alliance forces.
"Dostum makes a significant admission by confirming in his statement that Taliban prisoners surrendered jointly to US forces and to US-allied Afghan forces in November 2001 outside Konduz, Afghanistan," stated Nathaniel Raymond, Physicians for Human Rights’ lead researcher on the Dasht-e-Leili case.
"Furthermore," said Raymond, "Dostum’s blanket denial should be seen in the context of clear indications of evidence-tampering at the Dasht-e-Leili site where bodies are suspected to be buried, and the fact that at least four witnesses in this case have been tortured, killed or disappeared."

Physicians for Human Rights discovered the alleged mass grave site at Dasht-e-Leili in January 2002. The group has been investigating possible war crimes ever since, combing through documents they received through the Freedom of Information Act, and pressing for a full, formal, and transparent investigation.
This 2002 photo by Physicians for Human Rights was published for the first time on the front page of The New York Times on July 11, 2009. That same day, President Obama ordered his national security team to collect all the facts about the Dasht-e-Leili massacre.
A former CIA case officer, Brian Glyn Williams, has summarized the events leading to and immediately following the November 2001 capture of the Taliban prisoners in his documentary film, "Dostum: An Afghanistan Warlord's War on Terror" (University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, 2004):
Dostum's troops began to move to the east, towards the last Taliban hold-outs, the city of Konduz. There, Dostum's forces eventually rounded up and surrounded and destroyed a major Taliban army, as well as its 055 Support Brigade.
In so doing, Dostum ended up capturing the largest single components of Arab al-Qaeda forces in the world, handing over hundreds of hardened al-Qaeda shock troops and terrorists to an American special forces team who accompanied him.
Most of these Arab terrorists were subsequently sent to Camp X-ray and Camp Delta in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Most of them were average rank-and-file Taliban, as well as hundreds of Pakistani volunteer jihadis who had flowed over to Afghanistan in October and November of 2001 to kill the Americans.
They were rounded up by Dostum and shipped to the west, towards two fortresses that were going to be converted into prisons. One fortress was to the South, Dostum's headquarters, the great castle of Qala-i-Jangi, Afghanistan's largest castle, which surrounds an area the size of three football fields. There, several hundred hardened al-Qaeda prisoners were imprisoned in the depths of Dostum's fortress, while other prisoners were sent to Dostum's headquarters at Sheberghan.
In the process, Dostum began to celebrate his victory over the Taliban with his CIA and remaining A-Team, the Special Forces comrades-in-arms. A visibly exuberant Dostum for once allowed himself to wallow in the adulation of his people as they thronged to give him a hero's welcome.
The New York Times editorial board has described the killing of the Taliban prisoners as a massacre:
According to survivors and witnesses, over a three-day period, fighters under the command of Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum stuffed surrendering Taliban prisoners into metal shipping containers without food or water. Many suffocated. Guards shot others to death. The victims are believed to be buried in a grave in the desert of Dasht-i-Leili in northern Afghanistan.
Although the deaths were previously reported, The Times’s James Risen has now detailed repeated efforts by the Bush administration to discourage any investigation of the massacre — even after officials from the F.B.I. and the State Department, along with the Red Cross and human rights groups, tried to press the matter. Physicians for Human Rights, which discovered the mass grave in 2002, says the site has since been tampered with. Satellite photos seem to bear this out.
General Dostum, unfortunately, had far too many powerful friends looking out for him. He was on the C.I.A. payroll and his militia worked closely with United States Special Forces in the early days of the war.
Dr. Jennifer Leaning and former PHR staffer John Heffernan first reported the mass grave in January 2002. She’s a co-founding board member of PHR and a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health.

What It's Like to Discover a Mass Grave: Dr. Jennifer Leaning
Dr. Leaning described to Terry Gross the scene in the desert near Sheberghan Prison.
GROSS: Dr. Leaning, you and one of your colleagues found the mass grave. How did you know when you found it?
Dr. LEANING: It was –- it was remarkable. I have seen old massacre sites. I have seen some mass graves that are smaller, but we were riding in an old Toyota Land Cruiser, heading southwest out of Sheberghan towards Maymana, and as you take a road out of Sheberghan to enter the Dasht-e- Leili Desert, as I say, within a matter of a few hundred yards, we suddenly saw this dry desert expanse, and it’s really desert. This is January. There wasn’t snow on the ground, but it was dry, cold, hard- packed desert. It was 40 degrees with the wind. And we saw fresh, moist sand and deep tracks of major vehicles, of what looked like bulldozers and also huge trucks -- bulldozers meaning there were real treads on it. And there were these vast areas of disturbed sand and earth, moist and darker in the light compared to the hard, firm, undisturbed surface of the Dasht-e-Leili on both sides of this dirt road that we were on, and we got out.
And we were careful because we were within a line of sight of General Dostum’s military post up there, one of his headquarter posts, which is very near Sheberghan and the prison. And since everything is so flat, it was possible from the third floor of this outpost where he – where his troops were, at least, for him actually to see what we were doing - for his forces to see. And we had figured that out...
GROSS: Meaning you weren’t necessarily safe being there.
Dr. LEANING: No, and...
GROSS: Because he might have been behind the mass grave. That’s a possibility. His men might have been behind it, so...?
Dr. LEANING: Possible, yes, because he was...
GROSS: He might not have wanted you sniffing around there.
Dr. LEANING: No. He was in military control of this part of Mazar and the area going north and east, where Sheberghan was. He was in control of this whole area, and of the Sheberghan Prison. It was his people that were wardens in the prison.
And so we got out of the Land Rover, and we stayed on the road because of the Land Cruiser, because we were afraid that some parts of this might have been mined, which is often the case around mass graves. And yet, as we walked a little bit hesitantly into the disturbed earth, it became evident that, virtually as far as the eye could see on both sides of this road but particularly on the right-hand side as we were heading southeast out of Sheberghan, that there were black turbans tangled in the dirt, that there were prayer beads, isolated sandals and flip-flops, other little garments that I didn’t stoop down to investigate because some of them would have involved walking 20 yards into this disturbed area, and exposed human bones.
I mean, I’m a physician. There were pieces of rib cage. There were bones that looked as if they were parts of femurs.
And it appeared as if some of the surface of this grave had been already defaced by animals who had come to dig and then, smelling things, had explored deeper so that the - as I say, it was an area of disturbed earth with surface remnants of human remains and human clothing that extended on both sides for a very large area.
And we saw three or four military vehicles at Dostum’s outpost begin to fill with troops, with these men with uniform that we could see from a far distance, and begin to turn out of that compound and head down the road towards where we were. And so we quickly got back into our Land Cruiser, did a U-turn and went very fast. Before they got onto the road to the Dasht-e-Leili, we got back and went into Sheberghan town.
In response to The Times's revelations about the Bush administration cover-up, President Obama has ordered his national security team to collect all the facts about the killings of up to 2,000 Afghan prisoners of war suffocated in container trucks in 2001.
This response is a welcome turn-around from Bush-era policies that allowed war crimes to occur and be covered up. But as the initial fact-finding proceeds, President Obama will face enormous pressure – including from within his own administration -- to "look forward" rather than allow a full, clear-eyed, and transparent investigation into what happened at the mass grave at Dasht-e-Leili.
Physicians for Human Rights is urging the Obama Administration to conduct the thorough investigation that is necessary to help Afghanistan return to the rule of law and restore America’s reputation as a world leader that respects the Geneva Conventions.

Rap. The acronym for rhythm and poetry. A much bigger world than we imagine. Today I’ll tell you about its history, my influences and my way of working the genre 😉
Short overview on the history of rap and hip hop culture
Rap comes from ancient times, but for real; as an anecdote, troubadours were already doing cockfights, improvising rhymes in the street making fun of their opponents just as it is done today in the FMS or in Red Bull among others (it is something I discovered during my musical research career in Oviedo studying antiquity and European pagan music).
Although the history of rap is so enormous that it would not fit in an informative blog like this one, I would like to focus a little on the whole range of possibilities that rap has within a culture that lends itself so well to mixing and fusion like hip hop. Hiphop culture was born in the 1970s in the United States. It has several components that make it up: street art (graffiti, breakdance…), scratching and powerful rhythms accompanied by poetry and Flow. Within this last element, which is what brings us here today, there is room for a thousand stories, themes and genres.
As long as we have a rap beat, styles like jazz, funk, r&b, soul, trap, cinematic music, classical music, lofi, heavy metal, latin music… absolutely everything fits, and that’s why this is my genre and my great speciality as an artist and producer in the electronic music area.
Why am I specialising in rap?
To give you an example of this specialisation I’m carrying out with hip hop culture and especially rap, my album, The city says hi, is pure rap, especially mixed with r&b, funk and jazz among others. Samples chopped up and bumped in a thousand ways to create a new melody, a new music; old piano sounds, analogue synthesizers that sound fat; legendary drum machines and midi sound libraries of the best range to get my music to resemble an aesthetic that I’m passionate about. Of course, this is an album as a creative catalogue, so there are no vocals, I just showcase my bases; the melody that should carry the voice is outlined by some lead or piano in mid/high frequencies.
This genre gives me so many possibilities and so much freedom that I have chosen it as my genre, and I am especially focused on it; its rhythm makes my mind beat, and the rest (harmony and melody) is drawing on an empty canvas in my own way, without rules, so the result is always spectacular. Another example outside of my album is my Instagram profile, @dakotapulse_ , where I upload a lot of hip hop music, with different mixes. I like old school, vaporwave, lofi, jazz and old school styles, but I handle all aesthetics derived from rap at a very high level, since I’ve been listening to Spanish and Anglo-Saxon rap for many years (50cent, Snoop Dog, Eminem, Violadores del verso, Hablando en Plata, SFDK…).
My influences when it comes to producing rap bases
But I’m not going to talk about the masters of Hispanic and Anglo-Saxon rap, as you know them well enough: I’m going to talk about the influences that I have personally chosen to build my style within the rap genre: the first one I have to name is Anomalie, without a doubt. From him I have learned to imitate many audio techniques based on the mastering of bass frequencies and bass compression and the increase of possibilities regarding headroom and high volumes.
In rap in general, the bass drum and bass guitar have to be exaggeratedly big, and the rest has to be little more than circumstantial and accessory, so the elements that have to be worked on the most are the bass and all the percussion in general. Each sound has to breathe, to go up and down depending on whether or not the bass drum is present at any given moment, the rest is to introduce samples that sound interesting and/or sickly, and repeat them like crazy to the point of satiety. Here I show you a vivid example of what I’m talking about: the whole first Anomalie EP is a true masterpiece, but this track is the one that has marked me the most and from which I’ve been able to learn the most, I hope you like it!
Regarding the old school style, there are two rap producers that I like very much and I think they emulate perfectly the most classic American style rap: one is Cookin Soul, who is absolutely devastatingly brutal.
and the other one is Ramsay beats, who is a crack that produces and distributes his music here in Spain.
But that’s not all, because as I said, in my little home studio I also work on hip hop, and I produce, mix and master rap tracks and whole rap albums for independent artists who need quality music for their musical projects. Here you have a small sample of my rap music, I hope you like it!
See you next week with a blog titled: “Why doesn’t Latin hip hop fusion triumph internationally?” If you want to know I’ll wait for you here for the next chat 😉
Remember that you can buy a dembow, reggaeton, drill, rap, trap, pop, r&b custom beat, etc! A la carte.

At Toasted Coffee & Kitchen, toast is not just for breakfast anymore. As the name suggests, Toasted brings the trendy toast sensation, and much more, to Dallas. Despite what you may think, Toasted is not just a great breakfast café, but it has offerings to satisfy any meal of the day.
In addition to their gourmet toasts, they offer soups, salads and specialty sandwiches. All toasts and sandwiches are served on fresh baked bread that is made in their in-house bakery. To quench your thirst, you can choose from multiple coffee and espresso drinks, teas, and even a full bar!
My guest and I went to Toasted for brunch on a Saturday morning. We arrived to a busy and buzzing café with some customers brunching and sipping on mimosas, and others working on their laptops and drinking coffee. The atmosphere is cozy and casual as you walk up to the counter to place your order.
Most of the entrees and drinks have punny names which makes the ordering process a little more fun and you’ll get a few laughs out of it! For our meal, we decided on three toasts: The All-Day B.A.E., A Toast to Gravy, and Toast Ma Goats. We also ordered a mimosa and A Little House on the Mary (aka: a bloody mary) because weekend brunch isn’t complete without a little booze!
Each of the toasts are served on thick slices of delicious homemade bread. The All-Day B.A.E. comes with a black bean spread topped with two sunny-side-up eggs, bacon, avocado slices and queso fresco. This dish covers all of the breakfast essentials.
(pictured above: All Day B.A.E.)
A Toast to Gravy is a twist on the traditional breakfast dish biscuits and gravy. Toasted serves their dish with two thick homemade toast slices topped with bits of biscuits and slices of sausage, covered in a white gravy. If you’re looking for some comfort food and a filling meal, this will hit the spot!
(pictured above: A Toast To Gravy)
Lastly, we ordered a sweet toast to balance out our savory toasts. Toast Ma Goats included a spread of sweet goat cheese, pear slices and pecans, topped with a honey drizzle. I love anything and everything with goat cheese on it, so I must say this was one of my favorites! The beautiful presentation almost made it too pretty to eat, but don’t worry, I ate every bit of it.
(pictured above: Toast Ma Goats)
I have officially hopped on the TOASTed bandwagon and can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!
Toasted Coffee + Kitchen is located at 5420 Ross Avenue, Suite 180, Dallas, TX 75206

Lachulung La: enjoy a drive among the clouds
Lachulung La is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 5.059m (16,598ft) above the sea level, located in the Himalayas, on the boundary between Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh (Jammu and Kashmir) in India.
The pass, also known as Lāchālūng La or Lungalacha La, is traversed by the Leh-Manali highway. It is open for only about four and a half months in a year in summer between May or June. The pass is located 54 km (34 mi) from Sarchu and 24 km (15 mi) from Pang.
Due its unique location and the climb in elevation over thousands of feet, and passing through remote areas, it is important when driving in these conditions to be prepared. The road is visible from the narrow gap of the Lachulung Lungpa. While crossing the pass, the tourist buses and taxis take a halt here most of the times, to let the tourists admire the local natural beauty of the surrounding mountains. It is one of the favorite passes amongst the hikers as well as trekkers.

Recognizing that many small, rural downtown areas have experienced varying levels of economic distress, DCA worked with the Georgia General Assembly to secure passage of a bill calling for the development of “Rural Zones.” The establishment of up to 10 zones per year will enable businesses and investors to obtain tax credits for qualified activities occurring within designated Rural Zones. DCA, in partnership with the Georgia Department of Economic Development, will receive applications and designate zones each year to provide an incentive for job creation and private investment in the designated locations.
Credits will be available for job creation activities, investment in downtown properties, and renovation of properties to make them usable. The credits can be layered on top of each other; however, no credits are eligible without the job creation element being present. This program cannot be used in conjunction with any other state tax credit program. | <urn:uuid:a1a2acf3-3f1e-4fe7-9668-d5e9d96bd0f1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.dca.ga.gov/community-economic-development/incentive-programs/rural-zones | 2024-04-19T12:24:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.948112 | 174 |
State Approves Plans for Freestanding Emergency Department in Hartselle
“We appreciate the CON Review Board’s careful consideration and are pleased with today’s decision,” said James Clements, Cullman Regional CEO. “We’re proud to serve the Hartselle area and are grateful for the tremendous community support shown for this project.”
The 17,934 square foot facility will be located at Hartselle Health Park on Hwy. 31 in Hartselle. Just like a hospital-based emergency department, Hartselle Health Park ER will operate 24/7 and will be staffed with board certified emergency medicine physicians capable of caring for patients in critical medical conditions. It will offer on-site imaging including MRI and CT as well as lab and pharmacy services. The facility will also be equipped with an ambulance bay and a helipad.
In 2021, Cullman Regional opened Hartselle Health Park and has since added multiple outpatient services including two physician clinics, a diagnostic imaging center and an urgent care clinic.
“Freestanding emergency departments are especially important for communities without a hospital,” said Dr. Bill Smith, chief medical officer at Cullman Regional. “This project means Hartselle residents will not have to leave their community for life-saving emergency services.”
There are several other freestanding emergency departments in Alabama including in Mobile, Auburn and the Birmingham area.

The New York Times Wednesday cited Turkey as identifying four associates of Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman (MbS) as suspected of being present at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul during the disappearance of Jamal Khashoggi after Oct. 2. The four were described as the crown prince’s regular traveling companions. A fifth suspected of taking part in the journalist’s alleged murder was identified by Turkey as a forensic doctor who holds a senior position in the Saudi Interior Ministry and medical establishment. They were among the 15 Saudi officers Turkey claimed had arrived at the consulate and were seen departing the country a few hours later.
Tuesday night, the crown prince assured President Donald Trump that he had no knowledge of what happened to Jamal Kashoggi. “He told me that he has already started, and will rapidly expand, a full and complete investigation into this matter. Answers will be forthcoming shortly,” Trump said on Twitter. | <urn:uuid:8d54ad32-9467-4692-a321-2715d18613bd> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.debka.com/mivzak/nyt-turkey-names-4-suspects-close-to-mbs-in-khashoggi-case/ | 2024-04-19T11:23:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.98525 | 186 |
Some of that is some pretty scary-sounding stuff.
The Sticky Faith Guide for Your Family by Dr. Kara E. Powell is one answer for parents regarding this issue.
From the publisher:
The Sticky Faith Guide for Your Family addresses one of the top current concerns about youth and the church: the reality that nearly half of all young people raised in Christian families walk away from their faith when they graduate from high school. That's the bad news. But here's the good news: research also shows that parents are one of the primary influences on their child's faith.
This book arises from the innovative, research-based, and extensively field-tested project known as "Sticky Faith," designed to equip parents with insights and ideas for nurturing long-term faith in children and young people. Grounded in academically verified data, The Sticky Faith Guide for Your Family is a positive and practical resource that empowers parents to take the small steps that can translate into big progress in their kids' spiritual journeys.
Even busy families will find the "guidebook" format accessible and easy to use. More importantly, they'll be equipped with research-tested tools to nurture a strong faith in the next generation.
This isn't a fast book to get through. I had this impression I'd be able to breeze through it, picking up some ideas in the process. Because I certainly am aware that we do not have this parenting gig down just right.
Instead, I found myself moving pretty slowly through the materials. I'm thinking a second read would go faster.
Powell tries really hard not to make you feel guilty about what you are not doing. She encourages you in each chapter to think about what you are doing well, where you could improve, and to think about which suggestions from that chapter do appeal to you.
And in reading through the entire book, she encourages you to come up with no more than five suggestions that you are going to attempt to implement. No. More. Than. Five.
She does not want you biting off more than you can chew, nor does she want you to feel inadequate. I appreciate that a lot.
There are some amazing suggestions in here. There are suggestions I cannot imagine doing in a million years. I am quite certain some of those "not in a million years" suggestions would be fabulous for a different family.
This is a book I will be pulling out and mulling over, probably just a chapter at a time, in the future. I like the idea of re-reading one chapter at the start of each month, and really thinking about what one thing I can do this month.

The 5th Ordinary General Assembly meeting of the SAHA Istanbul Defense, Aerospace, and Space Cluster was held on 6th May at the Süleyman Demirel Cultural Center of Istanbul Technical University (ITU) Campus in Ayazağa-Istanbul.
Haluk BAYRAKTAR, the Chairman of the Board of SAHA Istanbul, provided the press with an update on recent developments related to the SAHA Istanbul cluster and SAHA EXPO before the General Assembly. Noting that SAHA Istanbul, which was established in 2015 with 27 founding member companies, has now grown to become the largest industrial cluster in the European Union, he added, “The primary objective of our cluster as a non-governmental organization is to strengthen our defense industry and guide the companies willing to engage in this sector. Currently, SAHA Istanbul has 938 companies and 26 universities within its network. Of these, 80% are small to medium-sized companies, with only a few large-scale ones. SAHA Istanbul plays a critical role in ensuring successful companies from the private sector to support those new to the defense and aerospace industry and fostering collaboration between them. The third SAHA EXPO was held last year, with over 900 companies participating in the event. Numerous high-level delegations from various countries were also present. | <urn:uuid:a25b77e2-60d1-497a-aa5b-a48dc937880b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.defenceturkey.com/en/content/5th-ordinary-general-assembly-of-saha-istanbul-held-in-istanbul-5557 | 2024-04-19T11:08:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.962482 | 277 |

VCE Vocational Major
The Victorian Certificate of Education Vocational Major (VCE VM) at De La Salle College offers a practical alternative for Years 11 and 12 students, distinct from both the Scored and Unscored VCE paths. Designed for those inclined towards hands-on learning, the VCE VM does not lead to an ATAR score, which is typically required for university admissions. Instead, it caters to students aiming to pursue a VET qualification at TAFE, embark on apprenticeships or traineeships, or enter the workforce directly after school.
The VCE VM program at De La Salle College is grounded in full-time enrolment, encompassing classroom learning in VCE VM subjects, Vocational Education and Training (VET), and either Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) or a School-Based Apprenticeship or Traineeship (SBAT). The curriculum includes four core VCE VM Studies: Literacy, Numeracy, Personal Development Skills, and Work-Related Skills. Additionally, as part of the Year 11 offering, students have the opportunity to enroll in selected Units of Competency within Certificate II in Hospitality, contributing to the 180 hours required for VCE VM completion. Students are also required to choose another VET Study in their area of interest to meet VCE VM requirements. De La Salle College not only offers several internal VET Studies but also provides access to a broad selection of VET Study options available through external TAFE Colleges, ensuring a comprehensive and flexible vocational education pathway.

Despite advanced research and advancements in the dental industry, oral health issues remain one of the most significant challenges faced by seniors today. An estimated 70% of seniors (ages 65 and older) experience gum disease, while only 47% of all adults have gum disease. Seniors also have higher tooth decay rates when comparing to children. Tooth decay and gum disease are the most frequent causes of tooth loss. Although the rate of tooth loss is actually declining, about a quarter of America’s seniors are missing all of their natural teeth.
Oral cancers (mouth, throat and tongue) are primarily diagnosed in the elderly. The American Cancer Society reports about 31,000 cases a year, 7,400 of these cases resulting in death. The average age for these cancers is 62 years old.
Senior dental health can be complicated, as older adults may suffer from several issues at once. Some of the most common problems that seniors experience from poor dental health include: darkened teeth from thinning tooth enamel, dry mouth (medication and disease side effect), diminished sense of taste, root decay from exposure to acids, gum disease, tooth loss, denture-induced stomatitis and thrush.
Several reasons can contribute to inadequate dental care in older Americans. Often, seniors have more difficulty accessing care to prevent and control diseases than do younger adults or children. Many senior Americans do not have dental insurance and lack of dental insurance coverage affects treatment choices and the ability to seek clinical care. Consequently, senior Americans with the poorest oral health are those without insurance benefits. Taking medications, wearing dentures and other general health conditions are a few other factors that seniors face.
Some of the most common problems from poor dental health include: darkened teeth, dry mouth, diminished sense of taste, root decay, gum disease, tooth loss, stomatitis and thrush.”
With proper care and regular check-ups, your teeth can last a lifetime. No matter your age, it is never too late to start caring for your oral health. Many seniors are at risk for a number of health problems; however, tooth loss is not necessarily an inevitable consequence of aging, but is actually the result of preventable oral disease. Learn how proper oral health is vital to living a healthy life.

I’ll spare you the awful jokes about how Monday Night Combat can only be played on Monday nights, etc. etc. Let’s get straight to it: Uber Entertainment’s class-centric, tower-defense-having shooter is finally up on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Like the previous Summer of Arcade games, the asking price here is $15.
Maybe I’m just friends with too many positive people, but I have heard nothing but pleasant things so far. Many are saying the mechanics are solid, the core idea is smart, and the potential for Uber to expand the selection of maps — and add new content in general — is there.
The attached launch trailer is flashy and all, however, I do recommend also watching the developer walkthroughs for the Support and Tank classes.

Medical review by Elizabeth Gomez, MSN, FNP-BC
Experts say that type 1 diabetes can shorten your life by years — it’s unquestionably one of the scariest things about the condition.
Life expectancy is a distressing topic, but an important one. The few recent studies on the topic suggest that people with type 1 diabetes can expect to live about 12 years fewer than peers without diabetes.
Thankfully, we can take that number with a grain of salt. The very latest science shows that diabetes mortality rates are declining across the board, and we believe that a little context will offer some reasons for optimism.
A Short History of Diabetes Lifespans
Before the discovery of insulin, one century ago, a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (a term that had not yet been coined) was a death sentence. Newly-diagnosed patients usually only had days or weeks to live. The only ways to prolong life at all were extreme measures such as starvation diets.
The discovery of insulin is a story that has been told many times. It changed everything: suddenly, almost overnight, the lives of these unfortunate souls could be saved.
But the first decades of the insulin era remained a very difficult time for people with diabetes. Insulin in those days bore little resemblance to the precise medication we use today; it was “an impure concoction derived from the smashed, blood-soaked pancreases of pigs or cows,” and was almost impossible to dose with any confidence or accuracy. Patients were ravaged by frequent bouts of both severe hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia.
Even as late as the 1960s and 70s, as better insulins were synthesized and distributed, glucose monitoring was infrequent and inaccurate, and tight glucose control was almost unimaginable. It wasn’t until the late 1980s, with the conclusion of the landmark DCCT trial, that diabetes authorities reached a consensus on recommending the tight glucose control that is now considered standard and necessary treatment.
There’s a reason to dredge up this ancient history: the earliest data on type 1 diabetes and lifespan in the insulin era comes from this timeline, when people with diabetes simply did not have the tools to manage their conditions like we do today. And to some extent, the whole discussion on longevity is still influenced by this early data.
A study found that patients with type 1 diabetes that were born between 1950 and 1964 lived only an average of 51.5 (men) or 54.8 years (women). Recent improvements in lifespan, due to superior diabetes management, have been absolutely tremendous.
The Causes of Premature Death in Type 1 Diabetes
Broadly speaking, type 1 diabetes harms your health in two ways: low blood sugar and high blood sugar.
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is not generally associated with long-term health problems, but it can cause death in an instant, either directly or indirectly (e.g. by causing a car accident). Past studies have suggested that as many as 4-10 percent of patients with type 1 diabetes have died or will die of hypoglycemic episodes. We can be hopeful that the number is trending down as diabetes medicine and technology has improved; newer resources, including nasal glucagon rescue and the continuous glucose monitor (CGM), with its blood sugar alarms, can be literally life-saving.
Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) is the cause of most of the long-term complications of diabetes and is the most significant contributor to reduced life expectancy. Persistent high blood sugars, which for decades have been considered all but unavoidable, cause both microvascular damage (such degradation of the eyes, nerves, and kidneys) and macrovascular damage (which makes cardiovascular illness more likely). Either can lead to early death.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in patients with type 1 diabetes. While many healthy adults eventually die due to cardiovascular disease — heart disease is the most common cause of death in the United States — people with type 1 diabetes usually experience heart disease about one decade earlier.
Historically, kidney disease has been the other leading killer, although improvements in diabetes management have resulted in an encouraging reduction in deaths due to renal failure. Nevertheless, it remains an important factor: kidney disease is still the leading cause of death in patients with type 1 diabetes that die before they reach the age of 40, a fact which contributes significantly to lower average lifespans.
High blood sugar can also cause rapid death. Diabetic ketoacidosis, caused by an acute lack of insulin, can be fatal.
The Data Today
Shockingly few studies have addressed the topic of life expectancy in type 1 diabetes. These are the best and most recent studies we were able to find.
A 2016 study published in Diabetologia working with data from Australia found that type 1 diabetes reduces life expectancy by an average of 12.2 years.
A 2015 study published in JAMA working with data from Scotland had extremely similar results. This study found that type 1 diabetes reduced life expectancy by an average of 11 years in men, and 13 years in women.
The age of onset also appears to be significant. A 2018 study in The Lancet found that patients diagnosed before the age of 10 were much more likely to suffer from early death, resulting in a loss of life as large as 14.2 years (for men) to 17.7 years (for women). The older a patient was diagnosed, the lower the hazard of premature death.
Meanwhile, a 2012 study of American patients had a much more encouraging result: patients diagnosed in the late 1960s or 1970s only experienced 4-6 years of lost life (a massive improvement from the previous generation). We’re not sure why this study seems out of step with the others.
None of these studies measured precisely the same things – they each studied different data sets and had different inclusion criteria.
What do these numbers mean to you? That isn’t easy to say. An average number doesn’t necessarily speak to your unique situation and circumstances.
Reasons for Optimism
There’s reason to believe that the studies above are of limited relevance to most people with type 1 diabetes today, especially those on the younger side.
The studies mentioned above were all published at least five years ago, which already seems like forever ago in the history of diabetes technology. That was before the widespread availability of the continuous glucose monitor and the proliferation of low-carb diets, among other factors.
The data that the researchers examined was even older. The Scottish study, for example, looked at deaths in the years 2008-2010. A 60-year-old that died in 2010 was born in 1950; if he or she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in their childhood, they likely would have endured decades of chronic hyperglycemia in the years before tight glucose control was recommended or possible. Even if he or she achieved exemplary glucose control later in life, the metabolic memory of those years would have continued to negatively influence their long-term health outcomes.
To put it simply, if most people today with type 1 diabetes will have a significantly longer lifespan, as seems possible, it could be decades before we really know it.
It is also worth noting that the Australian study found that much of the loss in average lifespan was due to premature death from hypoglycemia, diabetic coma, and kidney disease in younger patients. These tragic results are typically the hallmarks of uncontrolled blood sugars, and cautious patients with diabetes should be optimistic about avoiding them. Only about 50% of the loss in average lifespan was due to cardiovascular and circulatory disease in older patients.
The very latest study on the topic, published in Diabetologia in March 2022, focused on mortality (that is, rate of death) instead of lifespan. This work evaluated 2000-2016 data from multiple nations—Australia, Denmark, Latvia, Scotland, Spain, and the USA—to determine if people with type 1 diabetes were dying more frequently in recent years than they had at the turn of the millennium. The researchers found that mortality rates fell almost across the board, “in most studied populations and across a wide range of ages.”
Some of that improvement may overlap with general improvements to health in the entire population—in three of the six nations studied, the decreases in the mortality rate for people with type 1 closely tracked the decreases in the mortality rate for nondiabetic people. In the other three, however, excess mortality in the type 1 diabetes population fell, suggesting that improved diabetes treatments were extending lives.
The Factors Affecting Life Expectancy
Experts are unanimous that proper glycemic control and the avoidance of chronic high blood sugar are key to reducing your risk factors for early death from type 1 diabetes. Good blood sugar stability also makes sudden death from hypoglycemia or DKA less likely.
A 2020 article published in the journal Cardiovascular Endocrinology & Metabolism devised a model to estimate the impact of suboptimal blood sugar control. The model predicts that today, the average adult with type 1 diabetes can expect to lose 7.6 years of life compared to the non-diabetes population. This was a crude measure, because the authors assumed that early deaths were entirely attributable to time spent above international benchmarks for blood sugar control: “We estimate that for both T1DM and T2DM, one year with HbA1c >58 mmol/mol [7.5%] loses around 100 life days.”
While tight blood sugar control helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, we do not know if there is any level of glucose control that actually eliminates the risk of early death. And glucose control isn’t everything: there are innumerable other factors to consider, all of the factors that affect lifespan in people without diabetes.
An article focusing on especially long-lived patients (50+ years beyond diagnosis) found that they tended to share the following features:
- Reasonable (but not necessarily perfect) glycemic control
- High HDL-cholesterol (“good cholesterol”) level
- Low daily insulin requirements (high insulin sensitivity)
- Normal body weight
- Lower blood pressure
- Family history of longevity
While some of these factors are impossible to change, others can be modified with better lifestyle, diet, and exercise choices.
Recent studies suggest that the average person with type 1 diabetes lives about a dozen years fewer than their non-diabetic peers of the same age. While this number is scary, it also represents an enormous improvement from previous generations, and there are reasons to believe that the number will be even lower for today’s people with diabetes, especially for younger patients. Today, we have the tools to achieve a level of tight glucose control that was largely unavailable to earlier generations.
We do not really know how long a well-controlled patient with type 1 diabetes can expect to live. But it is fair to say that those who maintain tight glucose control and make other healthy lifestyle decisions are stacking the odds in their favor. | <urn:uuid:305206b6-6c79-4648-a324-9855c6a1bfab> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.diabetesdaily.com/learn-about-diabetes/basics/what-is-type-1-diabetes/the-truth-about-type-1-diabetes-and-life-expectancy/ | 2024-04-19T12:39:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.961079 | 2,260 |

Transcription vs. Speech Recognition: A Comparison
In today's fast-paced world, the need for efficient and accurate conversion of spoken words into text is ever-growing. Two primary methods for achieving this goal are transcription and speech recognition. While both serve the same purpose, they operate differently and come with their own set of advantages and disadvantages. In this article, we will delve into the world of transcription and speech recognition, comparing their pros and cons, and exploring their applications, with a special focus on their role in the healthcare industry.
Attention: The Power of Speech-to-Text Conversion
Imagine a scenario in which you need to convert a lengthy speech, a legal deposition, or a medical dictation into text. Transcription and speech recognition are two tools at your disposal. Let's start by dissecting transcription's strengths and weaknesses.
Transcription Pros and Cons
Transcription, the traditional method of converting speech to text, relies on skilled professionals known as transcriptionists. They actively listen to spoken content and painstakingly transcribe it into written or printed form. The human touch in transcription can be both an asset and a liability.
On the positive side, a transcriptionist possesses the ability to decipher speech across various accents, discern context, and fill in gaps when words are inaudible. Their expertise is particularly valuable in specialized fields like legal and medical transcription, where precision and domain knowledge are paramount.
However, speed is where transcriptionists face a challenge. Even the fastest typists can't compete with automated speech recognition systems, which can effortlessly recognize and output entire sentences in a fraction of the time it takes a human to type.
Furthermore, transcriptionists need a specialized skill set that combines fast typing with domain-specific knowledge. Without expertise in the subject matter, transcribing content accurately becomes a significant challenge.
Interest: The Rise of Speech Recognition
As we transition from the era of traditional transcription to the digital age, speech recognition emerges as a formidable competitor.
Speech Recognition Pros and Cons
Speech recognition software excels in terms of speed. It instantly converts spoken words into text without the need for manual typing. This speed advantage can significantly enhance productivity in various industries.
Accessibility is another feather in the cap of speech recognition. It is widely available and adaptable to specific needs, such as legal or medical speech recognition. Some free speech recognition software options exist, although they may have limitations.
However, the Achilles' heel of speech recognition remains accuracy. While it has made remarkable strides, it still competes with humans to accurately decipher speech. Transcriptionists, with their keen ears and domain knowledge, often outperform speech recognition systems in this regard.
Usability is another aspect to consider. Speech recognition should streamline workflows rather than obstruct them. It should integrate seamlessly into existing processes to maximize efficiency.
Desire: The Healthcare Perspective
Now, let's shift our focus to the healthcare industry, where the battle between transcription and speech recognition rages on.
Transcription vs. Speech Recognition in Healthcare
Medical documentation is a critical aspect of healthcare. Accurate and timely documentation is essential for patient care and legal compliance. Here are the primary methods healthcare facilities employ:
- Manual Entry: This involves entering patient information and medical records manually. While it's still used, it's a time-consuming process in today's digital age.
- Transcription: Certified medical transcriptionists transcribe dictations from healthcare providers, ensuring accurate and detailed medical reports.
- Speech Recognition: Speech recognition has gained traction in healthcare due to its speed. It quickly transcribes spoken content into text, reducing the time spent on documentation.
- Hybrid Solution: Some healthcare providers opt for a hybrid approach, combining manual entry, speech recognition, and transcription to tailor their documentation process to their specific needs.
In healthcare, where precision and speed are paramount, speech recognition has found a significant role. It enables healthcare professionals to complete documentation efficiently, saving valuable time that can be redirected towards patient care.
The Legal Perspective
Now, let's explore the legal field and how transcription and speech recognition impact it.
Transcription vs. Speech Recognition in Legal Practice
In the legal world, precise documentation is crucial. Legal professionals often rely on transcription for recording depositions, court proceedings, and client meetings. Transcriptionists play a pivotal role in ensuring that every word is accurately transcribed, maintaining the integrity of legal records.
Transcription's human touch shines in the legal context, where nuances and details matter. A skilled transcriptionist can navigate through complex legal terminology and capture the essence of legal discussions.
On the other hand, speech recognition offers speed advantages, making it an attractive option for legal practitioners looking to streamline their workflow. However, it may not match the precision and contextual understanding that a human transcriptionist brings to the table.

Ireland’s TV3 takes Rugby World Cup rights
Irish commercial broadcaster TV3 has secured the Irish rights for all 48 matches in next year’s Rugby World Cup.
TV3 will broadcast all of Ireland’s matches and the final stages of the tournament free-to-air. It will also manage live coverage of all the tournament’s matches and will deliver a TV, digital and mobile highlights offering.
TV3 said it is currently in discussions with platform operators about carrying a high definition feed of its channel from mid-2015 – in time for the rugby tournament, which takes place in England and Wales from September 18 to October 31, 2015.
“As Ireland’s leading commercial broadcaster TV3 is building its strongest ever schedule of originated programming. The Rugby World Cup win is an endorsement of the strategy to invest in the most relevant content for Irish audiences and advertisers,” said TV3 Group CEO David McRedmond.
TV3 said that it expects to broadcast around 20 matches on its network and the remainder on its youth-skewing channel, 3e. However, it said it has not ruled out some sub-licenses to other Irish broadcasters. | <urn:uuid:c88e94c8-61b3-472c-9a4b-4304c43e710d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.digitaltveurope.com/2014/04/16/irelands-tv3-takes-rugby-world-cup-rights/ | 2024-04-19T12:27:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.96435 | 244 |
On the day of Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, people were shocked to see large public displays on building facades showing hostile contents planted by hackers warning of the consequences of the US House speaker's support for the island. The general public is seldom aware that IoT devices like public displays are potentially at risk of hacking.
Information security has become ever more important in the era of the Internet of Things (IoT). JMEM Technology (JMEM TEK), a semiconductor information security startup founded three years ago by alumni of Taiwan's National Chiao-Tung University (NCTU), is unique in its approach to preventing hackers and protecting customers' IC intellectual properties.
In the past, during the updating of firmware and software, the shortcomings of the existing authentication mechanism would make it easy to form loopholes for hackers to break through. JMEM TEK came up with an integrated solutions for dealing with vulnerabilities at both the firmware and software levels, attracting attention from customers and venture capitalists.
The team members are all graduates or students of the Department of Electrophysics of NCTU. Their professors have provided support not only in the form of mentorship but also as angel investors. Other NCTU alumni also helped introduce potential IC design customers to them.
They leveraged resources such as electronic design automation (EDA) tools and chip manufacturing shuttle provided by Industrial Technology Research Institute's Innovation Incubation Center in Nangang, Taipei, and had been working in stealth mode until 2022 when they formally registered their company.
The founder and CEO, John Chang, majored in business and electronic engineering at the Queensland University of Technology in Australia before continuing his study at NCTU. He is in charge of operations and single-device design. CTO Paul Lo takes care of the circuit design, and there are other teammates who work on packaging and testing. Their IC design is subdivided into analog and digital.
Chang explained that for the storage device, if the data is stored in the chip, the company's solution focuses on one-time programmed (OTP) memory. The traditional manufacturing process is to program data into the chip during the programming process, so the action of writing data into the chip is in the hands of others.
The OTP solution of JMEM TEK allows customers to write data after getting the chip so that no one else can tamper with it. The security of this part is thus ensured.
However, protecting IP at the software level alone is not enough, so the team also has a hardware approach to prevent people from reverse engineering the chip.
Lo said the architecture of many IoT chips is relatively simple, and usually has OTP inside. But when they are taken to China, they are opened up and the hardware protection is disabled through various methods, so the firmware inside the controller or the calibration code inside the sensor can be easily copied.
"As communication technology has advanced from 4G to 5G, and will soon move to 6G, we will soon enter the era of the Internet of Everything," said Lo. "JMEM's solution is to give each device an independent ID, just like a human fingerprint. The function, still under development, is called physical unclonable function, which can add biometric-like identification to each device to confirm whether it should be trusted and authorized to access information."
Lo explained that whenever a device wants to connect with a local device, the system will detect whether it is a trusted device. If not, access can be denied immediately, thus greatly reducing the risk of hacking from device to device.
"This part of the solution is in the protection of authorization mechanism, which is fundamentally different from the traditional software information security at the network level because the identification is added at the hardware level," said Lo.
"In addition, we are also working on the design of encryption processing chip IP and the prevention of bypass attacks, such as the use of laser probing or electronic waves to understand the circuit feedback," said Chang.
"We are not trying to replace the software, but rather to propose a combination of software and hardware to make the product more secure," Chang explained.
Latest regulations in Europe, the US and China hold system vendors responsible for losses resulting from inadequate system security in the event of hacking, and the amount of penalty often can reach as high as US$1 billion. When such incidents occur, the finances and reputation of system providers will be severely impacted. "This greatly enhances the motivation of customers to adopt chip information security solutions," said Chang.
Chang observed that information security has become more and more important: There is a significant increase in research papers studying it, and international conferences on failure analysis have also started to discuss information security.
He believes that as the chip war between the US and China intensifies, the problem of China copying chips will become more and more serious. In the past, China copied between their own manufacturers, and when their technology matures to a certain level, they will start copying the ones made by advanced countries, he said.
The company's future applications will first focus on two main verticals: IoT and automotive chips. As IoT chips are usually relatively inexpensive, it is impossible to add many complex functions, and JMEM TEK's solutions can achieve cheap and simple functions. As it takes a long validation period for automotive applications, JMEM will first focus on IoT chips before moving to automotive chips. For the automotive segment, the company can rely on some of its investors who have connections with car manufacturers.
JMEM's previous round of fundraising was led by 500 Global in the form of a simple agreement of future equity (SAFE), and the next round of capital raising has already received many commitments and has been oversubscribed.
JMEM declined to disclose the goal of the fundraising for 2023 but said that they plan to use the fund to conduct a shuttle tape out in May 2023 for silicon proof of concept, that it to prove the feasibility of the process.
Since JMEM TEK's business model is IP licensing, silicon proof of concept will be a key factor for their success and hence a goal to reach for the next two years.

WATCH | Nine trucks petrol-bombed on N3 and R103 in Gauteng, police hunt for perps
Police have launched a manhunt for the perpetrators who allegedly petrol-bombed nine trucks on the N3 and R103 near Heidelberg on Thursday night.
Gauteng police spokesperson Capt Mavela Masondo said preliminary investigations revealed that a white Toyota Quantum and a black VW vehicle, both with unknown registrations, had blocked the road. Then a number of trucks caught fire after petrol-bombs were allegedly thrown at them.
This occurred at about 8.30pm on Thursday.
“Seven trucks were torched on the N3 between Heidelberg and Vosloorus while two trucks were set alight on the R103.”
Police said the motive for the torching could not immediately be confirmed.
“Police are investigating cases of malicious damage to property and are appealing to anyone who might have information that can lead to the apprehension of the suspects to please call the nearest police station or the crime stop number on 08600 10111.”

Used in stadiums, and by many live production companies, such as Live Nation, the REEL FX DF-50 DMX Diffusion Hazer is a patented, top-of-the-line hazer. A subtle mist of mineral oil is blown out into the air, creating an ethereal effect that enhances lighting, making it possible to see beams of light through the air, and adding depth to the light show.
The DF-50 uses a food grade, mineral oil blend fluid to produce the haze, so it's completely safe to inhale and won't irritate the throat or eyes of your guests. Oil-based haze is considered to be a premium option for events, compared with water-based haze or fog, because it won't leave behind any sort of residue. It's also less dense, making it much less likely to trigger fire alarms, making it a great option for events in any venue. | <urn:uuid:1b74e1c7-f21c-418c-9c7e-61dee6c36f25> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.djillusion.com/equipment/reel-fx-df-50-diffusion-hazer | 2024-04-19T12:09:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.954737 | 186 |

Improve Your Chances at Getting a Mortgage

Improve your chances at getting a Mortgage
In the video Phil explains common mistakes people make with credit, how more credit is sometimes better, why a small limit is a bad thing, how to check your credit without it hurting your credit and what the banks expect for a credit score. Read below for the more detailed version.
The first thing banks or mortgage brokers will look at is your credit score.
Having no credit can negatively affect you. Meaning that if you only have one form of credit (or zero) then it wont look good to the bank. Phil recommends having at least two. This can be a car loan, student loan, credit card, line of credit or anything that will come up when you do a search.
Search your credit! Phil mentions Equifax. I have not tried Equifax, but in the past, I tried one that said 'Free Credit Check' but they forced me to input my credit card. I didn't think much of it until I noticed a monthly fee of around $20. Unfortunately, it took me many months before I noticed and the best they would do was delete the account. So, if any similar site asks for your credit card information to get your free report, don't do it.
I have used Borrowell for free for some time now and I have never paid for it. I am sure there are others that can also work, but this one has been perfect for my family.
I did notice that they offer me $5 if I introduce a friend. This site is free for you, but if you want to buy me a coffee, please use the following link and they will send me a $5 gift card (last time I got an ecard for Starbucks)
Phil also mentions that banks now offer something similar inside their apps/sites. if you prefer you could also see if your bank offers soft checks that would not effect your score by checking.
What is a Good Credit Rate?
So you checked your credit history and score, now what does it mean?
The minimum a bank looks at for a mortgage is a credit score of 600.
A lot of lenders want to see you above 700.
If you are around 600 you are considered a little higher risk so the banks will want to see more savings or a higher income.
Payment History / Credit History
Banks do look at payment history. Make sure you are making your payments ontime. Many services offer automatic payments and bank accounts offer scheduled payments. Use these or pay bills as soon as you get them if paying on time is an issue for you.
Why is a Small Limit a Bad thing?
This is a common misunderstanding that I used to have. I thought that the less credit you had the better, but that is not how the algorithm works. 33% of your score is based on utilization. This means that if you have a credit card for $1000 and you owe $900 on it, your credit score will go down as you have used 90% of your credit. On the other hand if you had a credit card for $9000 and you owed $900 on it you are only using 10%.
Using your credit and creating a good history is ideal, but anything over 50% usage looks bad. Below 30% is best. So, having a higher limit will help you.
In my case I had all my credit cards paid off and only had money on my line of credit owing. This was not a huge line of credit, so I was using probably 80% of it and contacted the bank to try to raise the amount and they also explained that if you are using a high percentage of it and not able to pay it off, they do not want to offer you more. When it comes to the algorithm it doesn't look at all credit you have an average it out, so try not to use over 30% of any of your limits.
Continue to Save!
We joked about getting a Sugar Mama (or Sugar Daddy), but a lot can be said about reducing your expenses or, if you can, increasing your income.
Personally, I would ask yourself how you will feel about your expense a couple years from now? If it will create awesome memories you probably wont regret spending money it, but can you cut out some of the THINGS? Or even better spend less on bad food or things that are bad for you?
Any questions? Feel free to reach out.

Qatar has launched an online registration platform for those arriving in the country through the Abu Samra border, the Ministry of Public Health has announced on Friday.
The new platform aims to expedite entry procedures into the country while also ensuring the safety and well-being of the community by documenting health and vaccination data prior to arrival.
All those wishing to return or visit Qatar through the Abu Samra border must register through the newly-launched platform and apply no more than 72 hours prior to arrival time and at least six hours before it, authorities stressed.
Meanwhile, GCC citizens are required to enter their passport numbers, and visitors are required to enter their visa and passport numbers.
Travelers must enter health information that includes the type of Covid-19 vaccine and the date of the last dose (if taken) or the date of the last infection with Covid-19 for those who recovered.
Copies of passports, certified vaccination certificates, negative PCR test results, hotel quarantine reservations for unvaccinated individuals or those coming from high-risk countries, must also be uploaded to the platform to complete the registration process. | <urn:uuid:d3c503e9-9dfc-4d67-aa6c-d7ee1c9dbae2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.dohamums.com/qatar-prepares-to-open-for-visitors-with-the-launch-of-online-registration-platform/ | 2024-04-19T12:53:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.943521 | 249 |
The Bird - Flite Wide Spikes Kit With Bond is a popular and least conspicuous bird spike product on the market. It is perfect if you have problems with large birds like pigeons, gulls and others that can leave messy droppings and debris on your building. It is good for all pressure levels (perfect for medium to heavy bird pressure) and perfect to put on architectural ledges, chimneys, pipes, signs, street lights, small equipments, steel beams, roof peaks and even on boats.
This bird deterrent will not harm the bird's feet but will alarm them whenever they try to rest on the ledges. It is made of stainless steel and polycarbonate material that is built to last, and doesn’t brittle in age. It is very flexible and it is light enough to carry around for installation. Though the spike is made of stainless steel, like other Bird Barrier spikes, this product literally disappears from a distance. This is an easy-to-install bird deterrent and you can easily store other spikes that are not in use in a small space.
Bird-Flite comes with a plastic base with stainless steel spikes.
Bird-Flite - Bird Spikes - Wide has a length 12", Width 5", and is made for ledges 4-7”.
Wide wires are spaced 1.5 inches on center—far enough apart to repel pigeons, yet avoid entrapping debris, like paper, twigs, etc.
Wide spikes are blunted, preventing injury to birds or unsuspecting workmen. Birds typically hover above products before loafing so they will not be harmed.
This wide version is 5 inches wide by 1 foot long and comes in 4 different kit options:
5 Feet Kit with Bond Glue (5 x 1 foot length with 1 oz of bond glue)
10 Feet Kit with Bond Glue (10 x 1 foot length with 3 oz of bond glue)
25 Feet Kit with Bond Glue (25 x 1 foot length with 10.2 oz of bond glue)
100 Feet Kit with Bond Glue (100 x 1 foot length with three (3) 10.2 oz of bond glue)
Ledges, parapets, signs, beams, pipes, chimneys, cutouts, security cameras, lights, rook peaks
Do not use where birds are nesting Bird-Flite's plastic base is flexible and can be used on curved surfaces. Bird-Flite Bird Spikes are used widely on historic restorations due to its low visibility and ease of installation
Base can be glued or screwed to any surface. Please see instructions label for more details or instructions below.
Bird-Flite - Bird Spikes - Wide has a length 12 inches, Width 5 inches and is made for ledges 4-7 inches Rod Material : 302 Stainless Steel, 18 per foot Base Material: Ultra-violet stabilized polycarbonate Width: 4.5 inch (20.5 cm) Height: 4.5 inch (12 cm) Length: 36 inch (30.5 cm) per piece
Roosting birds not only litter your property with debris and droppings but attract other pests and insects as well. The most effective way to prevent bird damage is to deter them from landing on your property in the first place. Bird prevention spikes are Bird Barrier's most popular product for bird control. Bird Barrier bird spikes are discreet, humane and effective deterrents that create a barrier against birds seeking a place to perch or roost.
Constructed with stainless steel rods set on a UV-resistant polycarbonate base, these bird spikes provide a durable and versatile solution for invasive birds. Bird Barrier's easy-to-install spikes can be attached with nails, screws or adhesive. From bird spikes for small birds to pigeon spikes that deter gulls and blackbirds as well, an array of sizes ensures that you'll find solutions for every type of bird. Bird Barrier's bird control spikes feature sleek, innovative designs that makes them virtually disappear from distances as near as 20 feet.
Whether installed on roof parapets, window sills, ledges, signs or chimneys, their flexible bird control spikes conform to the shape of your application. Spikes are shipped in space-saving cases that contain rolled up cylinders of spike strips for easy application. Each section can be cut to accommodate any architectural size, shape and configuration. Bird Barrier offer spikes specifically designed for gutters as well, with detachable, clip-on installation for easy application and cleaning.
Unlike some bird prevention spikes in the market, their bird control spikes are blunted to prevent injury to birds yet are strong enough not to bend under pressure. Whether you need a short length of narrow bird spikes for small birds or a 100-foot length of pigeon spikes that can deter an entire flock, you can rest assured that you'll resolve your bird infestation problem without causing harm to nuisance birds.
When installing Bird-Flite to a ledge, beam or pipe, keep two things in mind for a successful application:
Proper placement of the product on the ledge
Securely fastening the product to the ledge
One of the great benefits of Bird-Flite is that you can leave unprotected space between rows of the product, and between the back row and wall.
Tips can be placed up to 2” apart, and the tips of the rods can be up to 2” from the back wall – that’s free coverage! The rods must overhang the outer edge by at least 1/2”.
Examples: Bird-Flite Wide can be used to protect a one-sided ledge up to seven inches wide.
A 12 inch ledge (one-sided) can be protected with two rows of Bird-Flite Wide.
Bird-Flite can be glued or screwed to the ledge. If screwing we recommend three screws per foot. But using Bird Barrier Bond is by far the preferable technique; it is far faster, and actually more secure, as the entire strip is fastened securely to the ledge.
Using Bird Barrier Bond
The one-foot section of Bird-Flite should receive four to five equally spaced marble-sized dabs. You do not want to run a continuous bead as you will create a water barrier. Apply the four to five dabs per foot. Then simply place the strip in the correct position and press firmly to the ledge. You want the Bond to come out the sides and squirt up through the screw holes.
Bond Coverage using Bird Barrier Bond
10.2 oz cartridge = 30-35 feet. 3.75 oz tube = 12 feet
Using Self-Tapping Screws
Bird-Flite can be installed using small self-tapping screws. We recommend two to three screws per foot, not one screw per hole. If you are using a drill motor, you should obtain a long 1/4” magnetic nut driver (at least 5” long). Make sure you don’t keep the drill motor running when the screw seats down on the plastic or you will strip out the hole or break the Bird-Flite base.
We like this product--it is nearly invisible, unless you look up and know what you are looking for! Especially important where there is an HOA! Easy to break off sections to fit any space. The adhesive covers more area than we expected it to. Highly recommend this before nesting season!
Just to be sure, can I bond these Bird - Flite Wide Spikes Kit With Bond on WOOD beams on my deck? The wood beams will be very clean. Just wanted to make sure.
Thank you in advance for your professional advice.
Bird Barrier's easy-to-install Bird - Flite Wide Spikes With Bond can be attached with nails, screws or adhesive. If the wood on the deck has been treated with any type of petroleum product we would suggest that you use both the adhesive and 2 screws for every 3 ft of barrier. The wood needs to be clean and dry. | <urn:uuid:e016209b-8d4d-48f5-ab90-3d09c5c04d6d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.domyown.com/bird-flite-wide-spikes-kit-with-bond-p-14428.html?sub_id=14429 | 2024-04-19T12:44:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.929493 | 1,641 |

Shar Gaden Nampar Gyalway Ling Monastery, a full-fledged Gelug monastic seat for higher Buddhist studies was established on 23 February 2008 by monks from Gaden Shartse Monastery’s Dokham Khangtsen in order to provide an avenue for those with karmic affinity with the Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden to study, practise and uphold their lineage.
To give some perspective, both Gaden Jangtse which is also known as ‘North Peak’ and Gaden Shartse which is also known as ‘East Peak’ make up Gaden Monastery. For administrative efficiency, both Gaden Jangtse and Gaden Shartse have autonomous khangtsens, similar to fraternity houses.
Gaden Jangtse which housed Lama Tsongkhapa’s residence at first had 13 khangtsens, namely Lubum, Tsawa, Samlo, Hardong, Serkong, Trehor, Gyalrong, Bati, Ngari, Dora, Dranyi, Gowo and Kongpo khangtsens. In current times, there are only 12. Bati and Ngari khangtsens were dissolved, and Phara Khangtsen was added.
Gaden Shartse has 11 khangtsens, namely Dokham, Phukang, Nyagre, Lhopa, Zungchu, Tepo, Choni, Ta-on, Ngari, Sogpa and Gungru khangtsens. Dokham Khangtsen was generally recognised as the ‘right hand’ of Gaden Shartse Monastery on account of its sustained contributions over many centuries towards the preservation of monastic tradition and discipline.
Monks join khangtsens based on their place of origin and dialect spoken. Each khangtsen has several sub-houses or Mi-tshan, which are also divided according to the place of origin of the monks living in them.
The lineage and history of Shar Gaden Monastery can be traced back to Lama Tsongkhapa and even to Buddha Shakyamuni. Gaden Monastery’s history dates back to the time of the historical Buddha Shakyamuni, who made a prediction about how Lord Manjushri would later emanate as Lama Tsongkhapa to establish Gaden Monastery. In the Manjushri Root Tantra, the Lord Buddha said,
After I have passed away from this world, when the Earth becomes desolate, you will take the form of a child and enact the deeds of a Buddha. At that time there will be a great monastery called Rabga (Rab-dga’) in the Land of Snows.
“Ga” is the first syllable of “Gaden”
In the Sutra Taught to King Dam-ngag-bogpa, upon Buddha Shakyamuni accepting the offering of a crystal rosary from Lama Tsongkhapa as a small boy in a previous life, Buddha Shakyamuni exclaimed,
O Ananda. This small boy who has given me a crystal rosary will restore my teachings. At a degenerate time in the future, he will found a monastery called ‘Ge’ (dGe) at the border between Dri (‘Bri) and Den (lDan). His name will be Lozang.
“Ge” is a variant of the first syllable of “Gaden”
In return, the boy was given a conch shell that had been presented to Buddha Shakyamuni by a naga king. Buddha Shakyamuni then entrusted this shell to his disciple, Maudgalyayana, who buried it in Tibet as a treasure auspicious for the future spread of the teachings.
According to records, the original location of Gaden Monastery, Drogri Mountain, was approximately 50 kilometres east of Lhasa. The site was personally chosen by Lama Tsongkhapa following his disciples’ insistence to build him a monastery at any site of his choice as they were concerned about the effects of constant travel on his health. Lama Tsongkhapa personally consecrated the land and named the monastery Gaden, or Tushita in Sanskrit, after the pure land of the future Buddha, Maitreya.
Lama Tsongkhapa’s student, Duldzin Drakpa Gyaltsen who is one of the previous lives of Dorje Shugden, was primarily responsible for overseeing the construction of Gaden Monastery. The monastery, which comprised of a main temple and over 70 smaller buildings took only a year to build and was completed in 1409.
In 1410, a year after the completion of Gaden Monastery which was constructed in strict adherence to the Indian monastic rules, Lama Tsongkhapa unearthed the treasure conch shell that was buried by Maudgalyayana on a hill behind Gaden Monastery. In 1416, Lama Tsongkhapa gave the Gaden Conch to his disciple, Jamyang Chojey, who founded Drepung Monastery later that year. The Gaden Conch has been kept at Drepung Monastery ever since.
The construction of Gaden Monastery was Lama Tsongkhapa’s fourth great deed and became his main seat. When he passed away in Gaden Monastery, his disciples accordingly kept his remains there.
Since its founding, Gaden Monastery has been the seat of the Gaden Tripa or the ‘Holder of the Golden Throne of Gaden’, who serves as the spiritual leader or head of the Gelug tradition. The Gelug tradition is also called the Gaden Tradition and is named after Gaden Monastery. “Lug” means tradition, and “Gelug” is an abbreviation of “Gaden Lug.” The term of office for a Gaden Tripa is seven years and the position alternates between the Sharpa Choje and Jangtse Choje.
After the Tibetan Uprising in 1959, Gaden Monastery was relocated to the Tibetan refugee settlement (Camp 1) in Mundgod, south India. After a difficult beginning during which great masters including His Holiness Kyabje Trijang Rinpoche and His Holiness Kyabje Zong Rinpoche played a pivotal role in keeping up the spirits of the displaced monks, both Gaden Shartse and Gaden Jangtse continued to flourish and have produced many great masters, scholars, monks and practitioners.
In accordance with the rich history of Gaden Monastery, Shar Gaden Monastery adopts a combined study program of Sutra and Tantra based on texts composed by Lama Tsongkhapa and his two main disciples, Gyaltsab Je and Khedrub Je, and supplemented by commentaries and textbooks developed to explain the finer points of the teachings. The textbooks commonly referred to include:
- The Jetsunpa textbooks composed by Jetsunpa Chokyi Gyaltsen which are used by Gaden Jangtse, Sera Jey and Sera Ngagpa Colleges.
- The two sets of textbooks composed by two disciples of Jetsunpa, one of whom is Khedrub Tendarwa. It is said that Jetsunpa intentionally asked his two disciples to write commentaries explaining some of the major texts slightly differently than he had, so that future disciples would be able to sharpen their intelligence by debating their discrepancies.
- The Panchen textbooks composed by Panchen Sonam Drakpa which are used by Gaden Shartse, Drepung Loseling and Drepung Ngagpa Colleges.
- The Kunkyen textbooks which were composed several centuries later by the first Kunkyen Jamyang Zheypa Ngawang Tsondru and which are used by Drepung Gomang and Drepung Deyang Colleges, Labrang Monastery in far-eastern Amdo and most monasteries in Inner and Outer Mongolia, Buryatia, Kalmykia, and Tuva.
Each of the textbook traditions includes several additional texts written by later scholars.
Similar to Gaden Shartse Monastery, Shar Gaden Monastery places importance on the Panchen set of textbooks. The author of these books, Panchen Sonam Drakpa, is considered to be one of the previous lives of Dorje Shugden and hence an emanation of Manjushri. Thus, it is no surprise that his texts are still used as an essential part of the standard monastic curriculum and for debates, a benchmark of the geshe accreditation programme of study.
It is apparent that the establishment of Shar Gaden Monastery plays an important role in the preservation and spreading of the Gelug lineage and by extension, the practice of Dharma Protector Dorje Shugden. The current throneholders of Shar Gaden Monastery include His Holiness Kyabje Trijang Chocktrul Rinpoche, the current incarnation of the late Kyabje Yongdzin Trijang Dorjechang who was the junior tutor and spiritual guide of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama; His Holiness Gaden Trisur Jetsun Lungrik Namgyal Rinpoche, the 101st Gaden Tripa; His Eminence Kyabje Domo Geshe Rinpoche Losang Jigme Ngak-Gi Wangchuk, the great meditator and master; His Eminence Kensur Rinpoche Losang Phende, the venerable abbot emeritus of Shar Gaden Monastery and the current abbot, Khen Rinpoche Geshe Lobsang Jinpa. These great masters are just some of the recognised and realised holy beings who look to Shar Gaden Monastery as their spiritual home.

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. Something that is incredibly close to my heart and something I actively support so this week's set of pictures relate to things that help me when I need it.
Last year, I weighed a hell of a lot more than I do now. In fact, I think there's a 3/3.5 stone difference. I feel incredible compared to what I did last year. I did it by dieting and exercising. As mentioned in an earlier post (Cycling) I cycled to and from work most days and that alone helped me shed the majority of this weight and it has helped me significantly in not only my confidence but also in my general well-being. I'm definitely not saying you can't be happy being bigger, in fact I love eating and that'll never stop, but the routine of exercising and working hard on something and being patient has really helped me.
Behind the scene
A simple and somewhat bland picture but it took me so many attempts. It actually took my about 55 minutes to take the shot that I liked. Every other shot was too out of focus or awkwardly taken because of the lack of space that I have and the limited lenses I have for my camera. I settled for this in the end by using a singular flash and a funny meme that always makes me chuckle! | <urn:uuid:fc076f98-7f60-48c2-bc06-6f6718d5d9f5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.dotgo.uk/fabio/exercising | 2024-04-19T12:34:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.989381 | 270 |
Do you believe you know enough about health and wellness to make a significant impact on your weight, energy level, performance, and overall level of wellness? You definitely do. You may not know everything you need to know, but surely know enough to do better than you currently are. There are certainly things that you are currently doing that you know you shouldn’t, and you are not doing things currently that you know you should.
There are times that we get into a groove and really make progress, but even then, the wheels seem to fall off, and we fall back into our old bad habits. Why does this happen? Why do we continue to fail when it comes to living healthy, performing better, and acting the best we can?
I study successful systems. If I see something that works well, I try to pick out the reasons why it works. If there is a successful business, I look to see what makes it so special. If I see a really successful coach, I try to pick out the things that they do different to do as well as they do. I even study successful relationships to see what traits are present and consistent. The idea is that I can apply those characteristics to my own life, modeling successful behaviors or traits of others, which increases the likelihood of success.
One day I was thinking about the safety of air travel. How could there be over 5,500 commercial flights in the U.S. every single day (and add to that all of the private flights), yet so few crashes? It is staggering to think how safe air travel really is. I gave a lot of thought to why it is so safe. There are redundant systems within airplanes, meaning if a gauge fails, there is usually a backup to take its place. Airplanes are also required to have very regular inspections by certified mechanics and need the engine and other parts replaced after so many hours of use, regardless of their condition. Pilots are also required to go through rigorous training to get their license, have advanced certifications that require hours of study and practical training, have to pass a particular medical examination, and are required to do regular re-examinations to remain current and retain their license.
There was one thing that stood out to me, though, as I thought about the incredible safety record in aviation. It is the checklist. I first noticed this when I was training for my private pilot’s license. Before each flight, I was required to pull out a checklist. Before taking off, each thing listed on that checklist is confirmed by the pilot. This includes everything from a pre-flight inspection of the aircraft, a review of all the switches and gauges, and procedural steps to follow for proper start-up, roll-out, and take-off.
It makes sense for a newer pilot to have to rely on a checklist, but after years of flying, is it necessary? I have logged hundreds of hours flying, yet am required to go through that checklist before each and every flight. My flight instructor has thousands of hours of flight, and even he has to go through that same checklist. Commercial pilots have their own checklists that they go through no matter what plane they are in and no matter how much experience they have. This is a critical key to the success and safety of aviation. This greatly reduces the risk of human error, sloppiness, and simple mistakes. It is this checklist that helps make my flights with my family across the Midwest safer than driving.
So, you want to improve your odds of succeeding in your efforts to be healthier? Make a checklist. List the things you know you need to do each day and check them off as they get done. Look at it throughout the day, and make sure that before you go to bed, you get each item done.
This list should not be super long, nor should it be your to-do list that changes every day. This list should contain the fundamental things that you need to do every day to perform at your best and express optimal health. It should include certain foods you need to consume, the supplements you need to take, specific exercises you want to complete, and even prayer, meditation, and/or gratitude exercises. I would even add thank-you’s and I love you’s so those get expressed too.
A checklist will help ensure that you do not let life’s most important action steps slip by. It will help you become more consistent with healthy behaviors. And as you develop better habits and start to think you do not need the checklist, think again. Continue using it. | <urn:uuid:745cff3c-684a-47e1-9b5e-3a54d45f4445> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.drbizjak.com/use-a-checklist-2/ | 2024-04-19T11:22:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.975527 | 938 |
I was honoured to be nominated for Thomas Cook’s Explore the Elements photo competition. The challenge is to capture through pictures the essence of four elements – Earth, Water, Fire and Air. It was almost impossible for me to choose from thousands pictures the ones that I think represents all these elements the best, but finally here are my four entries:
Represents the hard, solid objects of the earth Associated with stubbornness, collectiveness , physicality and gravity
The bitter beauty of Ijen volcano in East Java, Indonesia. Its sulphur miners bear the scars of their labour - poisoned lungs and skin criss-crossed with burns and scars. Each man carries up to twice his body weight from the crater to the weighing station part way down the mountain... they got paid just around 4-5 USD per day. When I hiked to the top of the volcano, I talked to a few of them. None of that miners complained about their work. They all were grateful to have the opportunity to work in the sulphur mine as no other job pays so well in the region.
Despite of the beauty of Kawah Ijen and its surroundings, it was a heartbreaking experience... and the real eye-opener...
Represents the fluid, flowing, formless things in the world. Associated with emotion, defensiveness, adaptability, flexibility, suppleness, and magnetism
And then, there you are. Earth or another planet? Blue ice caves in Iceland was truly one of the most unique places I have ever experienced. I was mesmerized by that fluttering play of light on the icy curved walls. A magical world of blue crystal hidden below the 1200 years old Jökulsárlón glacier...
Represents the energetic, forceful, moving things in the world. Associated with security, motivation, desire, intention, and an outgoing spirit
Sunrise, steam and dust of Mount Bromo in East Java, Indonesia. I would wake up at 3AM to watch the sunrise at this unreal place. Staring to the darkness for one hour before witnessing the sun’s rays slowly transforming the scene from pitch blackness to aspen glow on the high mountains and clouds to then warm hues stirring the fog.
Represents things that grow, expand, and enjoy freedom of movement. Associated with will, elusiveness, evasiveness, benevolence, compassion, and wisdom
That freezing night in Vatnajökull National Park in southeast Iceland I’ll remember forever. To witness mesmerizing beauty of Aurora Borealis for the first time was one of the most powerful feelings in my life and once you see those lights dancing above your head, you want more and more. You are definitely enchanted…
Those are my four elements, four magical and unforgettable places I could have experienced.
Now I would love to nominate five travel bloggers to see how they feel about the essence of Earth, Water, Fire and Air:
Mike & Anne (HoneyTrek)
Megan (Mapping Megan)
Kelly (Blue Eyed View)
Alexandra (Crazy Sexy Fun Traveler)
Jul' (Les Petits Pas de Juls)

Windhaven’s 47 year old heating system was inefficient and replacement cost for commercial water heaters was high. The association was struggling to reserve infrastructure and prevent assessment increases, and chose DRF’s solution to install new modulating condensing boilers with domestic hot water priority controls as the best value option.
DRF’s design provided Windhaven with an efficient, reliable space heating and domestic hot water system with redundancy to reduce failure and maintenance costs. The association took advantage of additional Nicor Gas rebate offers with installation of in-unit programmable thermostats and one-inch pipe insulation on all hot water piping in the boiler rooms of each of the 16 buildings.
From assessment to design-build, installation and maintenance, DRF provided a complete service. In the first three months of operation, each of the 16 buildings experienced therm savings, with combined total energy savings in excess of 28%. The redundant space heating and domestic hot water system provides security and comfort, while reducing maintenance. At the conclusion of the project, On-Site Property Manager Carole Engstrom explained, “When the boilers and hot water tanks were replaced, this turned over with little interruption to the heat or water. What i thought as going to be ‘Mission Impossible’ became ‘Mission Accomplished’!”

The thing about toothaches is that the reason why they occur isn’t always obvious. The fact that your tooth hurts may not be something you can ignore, but if the sensitivity is minor, it can be easy to overlook as something you don’t have to worry about, or that will disappear on its own. Unfortunately, most of the many different reasons that could potentially cause your tooth to hurt are things that could also mean significant trouble for your oral health if they’re ignored long enough. Today, we examine just a few of these concerns, and why it’s important to take your toothache seriously every time.
The progressive decaying of your tooth
By the time many people reach their middle ages, they’ve already had to deal with a cavity at in at least one of their teeth. Cavities are common because the reason they form (a condition know as tooth decay) is a natural result of excessive oral bacteria on your teeth. The fact that they’re so common, and that they’re typically treated in their minor stages, can belie the danger that cavities can actually pose to your teeth. The cavity, or hole, won’t heal on its own, the structure you lose to the decay will be permanently gone, and the destruction of your tooth will grow worse until you treat your cavity.
Structural damage to your tooth
Tooth decay is a threat because it erodes your tooth structure, which is also why it causes your tooth to hurt. However, your tooth structure can also be compromised in a way that makes your toothache if it’s directly damaged or worn down. A worn-down or chipped tooth is another type of problem that doesn’t always seem severe at first. Yet, they can also grow worse the more the tooth is exposed to pressure and friction from your bite. The discomfort associated with tooth damage varies with the extent of damage to the tooth, and it can grow increasingly more severe as your tooth suffers increasingly more damage.
A loss of protection around your tooth’s root
Your teeth roots rest within sockets in your jawbone and are covered by periodontal tissues (gums) up to the point that the root turns into the tooth’s crown. Above this point, the crown is protected by a highly resilient level of enamel, which stops the tooth’s crown from feeling any sensitivity. However, your teeth’s roots are not covered by enamel, and they rely heavily on the health and integrity of your gums for protection. If your teeth roots become sensitive, it may mean that they’re being exposed due to the recession of your gum tissues, which can be a common warning sign that gum disease has developed.
Learn if your toothache is serious
There are many potential reasons behind the development of a toothache, and over time, almost all of them can become serious.

Some things in life can be achieved through hard work and dedication. However, there are always a few that are impossible, like trying to fly, or making a duck stand on a perch! We’ve all been there, in situations where we simply feel like giving up on something we’ve been forced to do.
While persistence is the key to getting things done, ‘throwing in the towel and calling it a day’ by settling with what your ability permits is also a wise thing to do after you’ve worn yourself out.
In Chinese culture, there’s a common proverb that’s used to express forcing someone to do something beyond his or her ability. With a streak of ambition and a knack for hard work, Chinese culture has always promoted and emphasized perseverance. However, some things simply should be left for another day — like a boss forcing an employee to walk on thin air, or fly.
There’s a useful Chinese proverb that correlates with all these things that are beyond one’s ability. “赶鸭子上架 (Gǎn yāzi shàng jià)” is a Chinese proverb that literally translates to mean that only chickens can climb onto a perch, while ducks cannot, and signifies forcing someone to do something beyond their ability.
There are many proverbs in Chinese that relate to animals, which also are composed of useful lessons, and even may teach you about Chinese culture, while at the same time helping you improve your Mandarin proficiency.
In the proverb “赶鸭子上架 (gǎn yāzi shàng jià)”, “鸭 (yāzi)” means duck. It’s worth mentioning that even though the proverb does relate to a chicken’s inability to climb a perch; “鸡 (jī)”, which means chicken, is not found in the actual phrase. Even so, the proverb is still widely understood among fluent Chinese language speakers, and will make you sound more like a native speaker when used correctly!
You might be wondering about the exact origin of “赶鸭子上架 (gǎn yāzi shàng jià)”. If you’re familiar with farming, it might be obvious for you as to how the proverb came to be. Ducks cannot climb a perch like a chicken, solely because of the anatomy of their feet.
Due to the shape of a duck’s feet, it is difficult to get it onto a perch while raising it, despite how hard the person raising it tries. The irony is that this also shows that the person raising the ducks doesn’t understand much about ducks.
All this implies that a leader may force his subordinates to do something without knowing exactly who they are, or understanding the fine details that are involved in doing their tasks. However, on the other hand, with good encouragement, just about anyone can do his or her best to unleash the potential to make the seemingly impossible possible.
Wǒmen gǎn yāzi shàng jià shìde ràng wǒmen de háizi qù shàng gèzhǒng xìngqù bān, cónglái bú qù liáojiě háizi de zhēnshí xiǎngfǎ.
We force our children to take all kinds of after-school classes without knowing what’s on their minds which like driving a duck onto a perch.
Wǒde shǒujiǎo bù xiétiáo, nǐ ràng wǒ shàngtái tiàowǔ, zhè búshì gǎn yāzi shàng jià ma!
My hands and feet don’t coordinate but you made me dance on stage. That’s driving a duck onto a perch!
Here are examples of other proverbs that use animals, which are similar to “赶鸭子上架 (gǎn yāzi shàng jià)”:
Búrù hǔxué, yān dé hǔzǐ?
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
If you don’t go into the tiger’s den, how can you catch the baby tiger? The implication is that you can’t achieve success without going through hardships.
Gǒu yǎo hàozi, duōguǎn xiánshì.
A dog catching mice meddles in cats’ Business.
It is a cat’s job to catch mice, but a dog does what it is not supposed to do. The implication describes people who overstep their boundaries and do what they shouldn’t do.

It is preferable to create a Stateless application for Docker Container. We can create a container out of our application and take out the configurable state parameters from the application. Now we can run the same container in Production as well as QA environments with different parameters. This helps in reusing the same Image in different scenarios.
Also, a stateless application is much easier to scale with Docker Containers than a stateful application. | <urn:uuid:0cffc285-0993-451e-a695-2c724bf5a7bc> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.edureka.co/community/52783/stateful-stateless-application-useful-docker-containers | 2024-04-19T11:54:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.887103 | 87 |
The Biden administration tomorrow is expected to release a new cross-government strategy for preventing lead exposure in children, with a focus on high-risk communities, according to sources familiar with the plan.
The same effort under former President Trump triggered infighting and was alleged to be an issue in the ouster of a top scientist who had called for tougher action to protect children from the toxic substance, which has cropped up in drinking water, paint and fuels.
EPA earlier this week announced as part of Lead Poisoning Prevention Week that it’s working with agencies like the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to address lead, and plans to release for public comment a draft strategy for reducing lead exposure and disparities with an emphasis on vulnerable communities.
Sources say the strategy is slated to be a whole-of-government approach that touches on everything from President Biden’s vow to remove all of the nation’s lead service lines to eradicating the substance from paint and Superfund sites.
Lead is a potent neurotoxicant that’s especially dangerous to pregnant women and children, causing developmental delays, abdominal pain, neurological changes and even death at high levels.
A first-of-its kind study last month found more than half the children tested had detectable levels of lead in their blood, which researchers say is tied to contaminated paint, water pipes and soil in poverty-stricken communities (Greenwire, Sept. 29).
EPA has identified nearly 1,200 Superfund sites where lead contamination is a concern and a potential source of exposure to children. Sources questioned whether the new strategy could potentially include more stringent requirements for remediating Superfund sites, given that the federal threshold for what constitutes a "concern” in children’s blood levels has changed.
Up until 2012, the CDC identified the “blood lead level of concern” in children as 10 micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood, before halving that amount to 5 micrograms. The CDC says that value is based on the nation’s population of children under 5 who are in the highest 2.5 percent of kids when tested for lead in their blood.
The strategy is expected to arrive tomorrow, just as EPA considers how and whether to revise its Lead and Copper Rule, but sources said the agency has until mid-December to unveil the final regulation. Advocates are calling on EPA to include language that would require the removal of all lead service lines (Greenwire, Aug. 24).
Also in the works, according to EPA, is guidance the agency plans to issue to help states and communities identify lead service lines, the most significant sources of lead in drinking water. Recently, tech giants like Google have announced plans to infuse grant money into companies and environmental justice groups to help publicly map lead lines in the most vulnerable communities (Greenwire, Sept. 28).
Locating and tracking the removal of lead service lines is a problem across the nation, and multiple majority-Black communities in Michigan recently snagged national headlines for high lead levels in drinking water, putting pressure on state and national regulators and lawmakers to step in and ensure the safety of drinking water (Greenwire, Oct. 20).
EPA’s previous Lead Action Plan under the Trump administration was released in 2018 and was clouded in controversy after former EPA Office of Children’s Health Protection Ruth Etzel alleged she was sidelined from her post due to disagreements about the document.
Though EPA has maintained that Etzel was removed from her post due to problems with her leadership, Etzel has said she ran afoul of the Trump administration for arguing that the strategy should include regulatory goals (Greenwire, Dec. 19, 2018).
Ultimately, the document set goals of reducing children’s exposure to lead sources; identifying children who have been exposed to lead and improving their health outcomes; communicating more effectively with stakeholders; and supporting and conducting critical research to inform efforts to reduce lead exposure and related health risks.
Though the Trump administration said the goals were to serve as a road map for all federal agencies, which would in turn develop their own performance measures for attaining them, the strategy was roundly panned by health experts for not including performance measures, deadlines and funding for completing the goals.
One advocate called the plan "disappointing" at the time, and another said it amounted to mere "talk." | <urn:uuid:52a8345c-0372-4285-af09-9b3fe797ca8c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.eenews.net/articles/biden-to-unveil-lead-strategy-that-triggered-trump-turmoil/ | 2024-04-19T12:27:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.96971 | 899 |
The thin, lightweight (the medium-size model has thickness of 1mm and weight of 7g) audio device, called “Smart Sonic Sound” is based on the company’s long history of fine ceramic technology and utilises a piezoelectric actuator combined with a special film to create a piezo film speaker. Smart Sonic Sound will not only contribute to making digital devices even thinner but also, Kyocera asserts, enhances audio quality for a much more realistic audio experience. Its low directivity characteristics broaden the sound projection range, providing 180-degree sound quality and bringing delicate and minute sounds to life.
This innovative piezo actuator audio technology is being used in a flat-screen television for the first time by LG Electronics in the company’s 55-in. curved-screen OLED TV. Smart Sonic Sound comes in three different sizes (large, medium and small), and Kyocera plans to expand its use in a broad range of applications including digital devices and automotive applications with strict weight requirements.
The company launched the Smart Sonic Receiver in early 2012, on Kyocera mobile phones for the Japan and U.S. markets. Smart Sonic Receiver uses a ceramic actuator to send vibrations via tissue conduction and traditional air conduction through display screens without the need for a traditional earpiece or loudspeaker, making it ideal for clear audio in exceptionally noisy environments. The new Smart Sonic Sound technology uses the same base technology but with a different implementation that amplifies air conduction.
The Smart Sonic Sound components come in in small, medium and large, with a thickness of 1mm.
Smart Sonic Sound can create the same audio volume as conventional electromagnetic speakers in just a fraction of the width and weight.
This allows for the speaker device to be built onto the front face of an end-product with ease ― contributing to flexibility and enhancements in end-product. The smallest device measures 19.6 × 27.5 × 0.7 mm, weighs 1g and radiates over 800 Hz – 20 kHz. Corresponding figures for the medium and large units are 35 × 65 × 1.0 mm/ 70 × 110 × 1.5 mm, 7 and 23g, and 500 Hz – 20 kHz /200 Hz – 20 kHz.
Low directivity and high responsivity create a high-quality audio experience (the plot is at 10 kHz); as the piezo actuator and film create sound through vibrations, the directivity (directional projection of sound waves) is more balanced than a conventional speaker, meaning that sound quality and volume are delivered almost completely equally within a 180 degree range. Moreover, the high speed of responsivity in the Smart Sonic Sound is able to reproduce delicate and minute soundswith greater clarity, thus providing an even more realistic audio experience.
Electromagnetic speakers use rare earth elements such as neodymium in their magnets. Conversely, the core component in the Smart Sonic Sound is made of a piezo actuator (fine ceramics) and resins, so the new product eliminates the use of rare earths.
Kyocera says it will continue to develop new applications for the use of its piezo film speaker, helping to contribute to the further downsizing of electronic equipment. | <urn:uuid:be95487a-8197-4b59-a1ae-4c4224f52f34> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.eenewseurope.com/en/piezo-film-speaker-for-screens-of-tvs-pcs-and-tablets/ | 2024-04-19T13:19:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.902416 | 661 |
Actor Nicholas Braun, 32, is shooting his shot at Kim Kardashian, 40, only days after she filed for divorce.
The reality star filed for divorce from Kanye West on Friday, February 19.
On Monday, Feb 22, Nicholas shared a nearly three-minute-long Instagram video.
In his post’s caption, he tagged Kim Kardashian and explained to her that “it’s all about meeting new people” after her split.
He said in the clip: “This Kim and Kanye divorce news is just bumming me out. God damn… It hurts to think about how they’re feeling and how she’s feeling.
“I mean, I’m wondering at this point, where do they even go from here? Where does she go… at this moment? ‘Cause she’s been through three marriages now and it’s like, are you willing to even take a shot on a new guy at this point? Would you be down to meet a new person, totally just kind of different guy? One who could, you know, make you laugh a little bit or make you feel small cause he’s so tall.”
Braun added: “Or, you know, just a guy who’s reaching out, talking about her on the internet. A guy who makes a video like this and he’s just sort of, like, trying to find a way to talk to her because he doesn’t know anybody who knows her. So, he’s just sort of making a video that might possibly penetrate her — not the right word choice — but enter her sphere. And she might see him and go, ‘Hmm, this is kind of different. You know, this guy is odd but maybe in a good way.’ And he goes to himself, ‘Yeah, you’re right. There’s something real here and there’s something good. There’s a deep understanding between these two souls.’ ”
Kim hasn’t responded yet but some of Braun’s famous friends have shared messages of support. Lili Reinhart advised him to “give her a little time” and “she’ll come around,” while Anna Camp simply commented, “Yesssss.” | <urn:uuid:6865322a-e851-4dfd-9b7b-d803eb2841ff> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.effizziemagz.com/actor-nicholas-braun-shoots-his-shot-at-kim-kardashian-only-days-after-she-filed-for-divorce/ | 2024-04-19T12:20:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.962648 | 495 |

Part 1 (Background Research) is the first of this 3 part article, ‘How to Gain and Keep School Clients’. Part 2 (Initial Contact & Follow Up) and Part 3 (Keeping your School Clients) will be covered in out next bulletins.
Part 1 – Background Research
Schools have suppliers in all areas but it does not mean that they are not open to new suppliers in a wide range of fields. As a potential supplier to a particular school you want to be sure that you are present in their mind.
Before you make contact with the School find out all you can about the school. Visit their website, Google the school and/or go to the My School website (www.myschool.edu.au)
You will be able to find out information about the School such as:
- Religious affiliation and values. This affects the types of supplies they may require, the term dates and hours of the school, and dress codes.
- Special programs or initiatives undertaken. For example if the school is promoting environmental sustainability you may be able to offer products or services which help them. If they promote “Performing Arts” you could offer products which will enhance their performances.
- The name of the Principal and some information about him. This is regardless of whether or not you are dealing with the Principal – it will be useful for future discussions and reference.
- The age of the students – this influences not only the type of products the school needs but also the way in which service providers go about their work.
- The number of students – it gives you an indication of demand.
- Whether the school is co-educational or single sex, and whether or not it is a day and/or boarding school.
- Who runs the school canteen.
- Whether the school is government, systemic or independent. Independent schools have the greatest control over their suppliers, but all schools now have a large degree of control.
- The facilities at the school and plans for future facilities.
- Financial Information – this is available on the My School website
- Depending on the School’s website you may also be able to find out the name of the person you need to deal with. Nearly all school websites have some information on the Principal.
The information which you find out about the school is important. When you meet with someone from the school it means that you will be able to tailor your product to their needs. You will impress if you show you know a lot about your potential client.
Find out the legal requirements for contractors working in Schools, such as a ‘Working with Children Check’ and Police check. Identify how a school environment is different from other environments. There are often restrictions due to examinations or holidays, and hours when children are out and about.
Consider what incentive you can offer which will the cause you to become a supplier to the School … perhaps something for free, an additional service or reduced pricing.
Is this school connected with any other schools which you have supplied to – if so you may be able ask the other school as a referee. | <urn:uuid:43a14d59-52f7-41f0-b5b4-4a00d1147801> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.eisau.com.au/blog/how-to-gain-keep-school-clients-part-1/ | 2024-04-19T13:24:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.965179 | 639 |
A prosecutor in charge of investigating corruption claims in Thessaloniki, Argyris Dimopoulos, has ordered a preliminary probe a large loan issued by Proton Bank before the lender was split into parts and liquidated, the Athens-Macedonia News Agency reported on Tuesday.
The investigation was launched on the basis of a complaint singed by a committee of shareholders and bondholders and concerns a loan of 13 million euros granted to a Thessaloniki businessman who was also a member of the bank’s board.
According to sources, the unnamed businessman allegedly received the loan without going through the proper channels just a few months before Proton was liquidated. He is said to have offered bonds worth less than 100,000 euros as collateral.
The investigation has been put in the hands of the Financial Crimes Squad (SDOE), which will be looking into whether the loan constitutes fraud against the lender and whether there is a case of money laundering to be made. SDOE will also investigate any large loans made in the same period from the bank to other businesses in the northern port city.
Proton Bank is also the subject of a separate case as its former chairman, Lavrentis Lavrentiadis, and another 42 defendants are to stand trial in March next year over questionable loans amounting to some 700 million euros which were allegedly granted by the defunct lender to Lavrentiadis’s group of companies.
The suspects are facing charges of running a criminal organization, money laundering, fraud and breach of faith in connection with alleged embezzlement at the bank. | <urn:uuid:6aad6383-24e5-44af-9593-69266a41fea4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/164030/sdoe-to-probe-proton-bank-loan-to-thessaloniki-businessman/ | 2024-04-19T12:27:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.983226 | 322 |
