Have you ever felt the urge to tell others what they should or should not do with their lives? Doesn't it seem to you that this is like a painter with a broad brush, trying to impose on us only one colour shade to describe our surroundings?
I know, I often long for every day to be sunny, for the light to eclipse the mixture of black and white and for the grey days to disappear for everyone. But I am immediately reminded that the absence of light in the evenings also allows for rest.
Different moments come and go with their circumstances, pretending to ignore them, just like ignoring cloudy days or dark nights, does not make us right; much less does it determine the success of anything or anyone.
On the contrary, to understand those who see the world from an alternative point of view and use unusual strategies, often difficult to accept, is to face the challenge of a life with an infinite gradation of colours.
No matter how happy or successful we believe someone could be by following our example, we must resist the temptation to try to change that person's life. We are who we are at any given moment in our existence for a reason, and no one person can say with certainty how others should or should not be. Therefore, I think the world is meant to be painted with that special brush with which we work, using our own colours and turning ourselves "upside down" from time to time to see it differently. | <urn:uuid:ca3ad86a-01e6-452b-96c3-3f3c623869e7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.jamymusica.com/post/upside-down | 2024-04-19T11:20:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.971287 | 294 |
The gaming industry is one of the fastest-growing industries on the earth and with the increase in internet access, polished mobile gaming titles, and cloud gaming the industry is predicted to grow even further. The gaming industry provides plenty of career opportunities starting from being a game artist, a game developer, or a gameplay tester to being an esports athlete. At the forefront is the lucrative opportunity to translate ideas into action by developing games such as Rise of Kingdoms (check out the Rise Of Kingdoms Guides MGE to learn more). To form your path easy in pursuing a career as a game developer, freeCodeCamp has launched an interactive game Learn to Code RPG to show the basics of game development.
Learn to Code RPG: An initiative by freeCodeCamp
freeCodeCamp, a nonprofit organization is one among the foremost popular websites for self-taught developers. The website boasts of articles and videos on various software, web, and game development topics, and learners can even interact with other students around the world as a part of study groups.
The latest addition to their huge list of learning resources may be a visual novel-based RPG that will gamify the educational process. Players won’t only learn to make games but also get a chance to network with people within the tech industry to progress in their careers.
The game aptly titled “Learn to Code RPG” currently features over 2 hours of gameplay with several minigames, 4 characters, 6 different endings, and 600+ computing inquiries to learn and grow.
Developed using Ren’Py Visual Engine, the sport is currently available on Windows, Mac, and Linux with support for mobile devices coming soon. Within the coming months, the developers also will expand the music and art library while introducing new characters with whom more people can relate and lastly support more languages.
Additionally, their ambition is to diversify the gaming experience by publishing games that will cater to more audiences across the globe by specializing in their local education and tech ecosystem. | <urn:uuid:8aea1a00-ae5d-4fa2-a920-d28e89f9dd5f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.javaslang.io/how-an-rpg-teaching-how-to-code-can-change-the-video-game-development-industry | 2024-04-19T13:06:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.947392 | 403 |
Why Do JW's Believe that Hell is Symbolic When the Disciples of the Apostles believed it Was Literal ?
2 Cor. 5:8 - We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
If what you argue is true, Can you explain how the disciples of the apostles could have gotten everything so “wrong” so quickly?
This is powerful data indicating that people simply believed Jesus.
The burden is really on you to explain their testimonies away. Seems pretty hard to do.
From “The Epistle of Barnabas” (70-130 AD)
Barnabas, was the associate of Paul who is mentioned in the Book of Acts. The letter was written to new converts to Christianity:
The way of darkness is crooked, and it is full of cursing. It is the way of eternal death with punishment.
From Ignatius of Antioch (110 AD)
Ignatius was a student of the Apostle John, and succeeded the Apostle Peter as the City Overseer of Antioch. He wrote a number of important letters to believers in churches in the area:
Corrupters of families will not inherit the kingdom of God. And if they who do these things according to the flesh suffer death. how much more if a man corrupt by evil reaching the faith of God. for the sake of which Jesus Christ was crucified? A man become so foul will depart into unquenchable fire: and so will anyone who listens to him. (Letter to the Ephesians 16:1-2)
From Clement of Rome (150 AD)
Clement was the City Overseeer of Rome from 88 to 98AD, and his teaching reflects the early traditions of the Church. “Second Clement” reportedly a recorded sermon, and Clement discusses the nature of Hell:
If we do the will of Christ, we shall obtain rest; but if not, if we neglect his commandments, nothing will rescue us from eternal punishment (“Second Clement” 5:5)
But when they see how those who have sinned and who have denied Jesus by their words or by their deeds are punished with terrible torture in unquenchable fire, the righteous, who have done good, and who have endured tortures and have hated the luxuries of life, will give glory to their God saying, ‘There shall be hope for him that has served God with all his heart!’ (“Second Clement” 17:7)
From “The Martyrdom of Polycarp” (155 AD)
This work was written by an Early Church Leader (unknown author) and is dated very early in the history of Christianity. It describes the death of Polycarp, a disciple of the Apostle John, and also describes early teachings of the church:
Fixing their minds on the grace of Christ, [the martyrs] despised worldly tortures and purchased eternal life with but a single hour. To them, the fire of their cruel torturers was cold. They kept before their eyes their escape from the eternal and unquenchable fire (“Martyrdom of Polycarp” 2:3)
"in 2 Corinthians 5:8, the apostle Paul is saying, “Look, I am living a tough life, and I would prefer to be at home with the Lord.” A lot of Christians today feel the same way, and they will be at home with the Lord at the Rapture, when Jesus comes from heaven to get us."
Jerusalem was destroyed by unquenchable fire. Is it still burning today?
So what do you think was "absent from the body"?
9 pages of a thread containing wrong answers. Sheol/hades/hell is not symbolic and it is not literal. It is the state of being dead. Dead is dead. Not living on anywhere, until the resurrection. First the dead in Christ from Pentecost to 1914 were raised, then the rest of the 144,000 were raised when they died from 1918 to now. Then in the kingdom hell will be emptied of its dead by the people being resurrected to earth.
The problem is that so many people read the Bible shallowly such as "I would prefer to be at home with the Lord." They take Paul's words at face value. What Paul said applied only to him and those of his time. But people like to fantasize and want all of the gusto and glory that they see as the Lord can provide them.
Sea Breeze - “Why do JWs believe that Hell is symbolic when the Disciples of the Apostles believed it was literal?”
If “Christendom” zigs, the Org wants to zag.
It’s practically baked into their ideological DNA at this point.
@ Sea Breeze
<<So what do you think was "absent from the body"? II Cor.5:8>>
Hey, read the verse in context.
Certainly I want to be absent from the body and present with the Lord without being unclothed for a season. But it's only those who are alive at the coming of Christ that will miss being unclothed.
II Cor. 5:4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
Now consider when this mortal will put on immortality and be forever with the Lord
1Cor. 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
If a burning hell is a literal place, then it must mean that there is a civilization of human beings literally deep underground or on another literal planet experiencing pain as punishment.
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
So, when we (believers) are absent from the body, we are present with the Lord.
JW’s deny this truth and reject fellowship with the Lord in yet another way.
7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:smile:
I think this verse is a big clue regarding how hell or heaven is to be experienced. | <urn:uuid:d7556168-4e80-4c99-9ce8-756292c5b401> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/6198733956448256/why-do-jws-believe-that-hell-symbolic-when-disciples-apostles-believed-literal?page=9 | 2024-04-19T12:27:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.967732 | 1,506 |
Where the "Magic" Happens
March 28, 2019
Clients come in for a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy session, with pain in their back or hip, and part-way through the session often they arrive in a mental and emotional state where “magic” happens and the pain dissipates. How is this possible?
Connecting scientific research about overall brain activity (measured by electroencephalography, EEG) with what happens in a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy session points towards an explanation of how this sudden relief occurs. The four brain states I will speak to are all important, however, it’s the slow wave brain states where we find the magic.
Beta Waves = Default (13-40 Hz)
You may not know the term Beta Waves, but I am sure you are familiar with this state as this is where we spend most of our waking hours. Here we are ready to react and we can multi-task. It's how we walk and talk, and even catch a ball if it comes flying at you.
This state is so important... but if you are stuck here it sucks. You are stuck here when you mind is racing and you can’t settle to sleep. Perhaps anxiety wrecks havoc with your digestion, or gives you a tension headache. It takes a lot of energy input to be at this level and if you are unable to shift down a gear its being stressed-out.
Alpha Waves = Mindfulness (7-13Hz)
The Alpha state is mindfulness and relaxed engagement. Here you can effectively learn to play an instrument, go for a walk, or have a conversation. When you are in this state you fully listening to the person speaking to you, you are enjoying the sound of the lively birds above, and you’re learning in a relaxed and powerful way. The ability to live mindfully supports you living a happier, more engaged life. Mindfulness in and of itself is a life changer and deserves the hype it gets.
Theta Waves (4-7Hz) & Delta Waves (0-4Hz) = Your unconscious world of healing/change/intuition
Mindfulness promotes the release of serotonin and gives us a gateway to consciously travelling down to Theta and Delta states. Though it is not possible to live from these two states as you go about your tasks in a day, this is somewhere you can go to restore and gain perspective.
Theta is the level we usually sleep at, and it dominates in deep meditation. Senses withdraw from the external world and into our inner world. We are entering into our unconscious here where super learning and emotional integration can happen.
Go a little deeper and you are in Delta, it’s the deepest meditation, it's dreamless sleep. You absolutely can’t live from here but if you visit here you'll find healing, organ regeneration, and the stress hormone cortisol is removed from your system. With coaching, you can consciously travel deep into the Delta state and effortlessly bring home some priceless mementos such as deep peace, freedom, and inner wisdom.
We live from Beta and Alpha, but travelling to Theta and Delta is the best vacation. Within your human body there is the innate capacity to have access deep restoration and relaxation in your body. No plane tickets required.
Part of what I offer is a bridge to your inner vacation, a bridge to your capacity to adapt, heal, and change.
Please contact me about booking your vacation in my safe office space where I will skillfully coach you to travel into the deeper states mind where your body heals.
I would like to acknowledge my mentor, Sarah Kaczor (www.yourkompass.com) for encouraging me to research brain waves and supported me in my understanding of the relevance of brain waves in the context of a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy session. | <urn:uuid:bcd1defb-c790-4fb5-a321-bb78d7f2599f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.jennelledodd.com/where-the-magic-happens | 2024-04-19T13:02:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.935436 | 791 |
My liver started failing 15 years ago when I was in my thirties. Until recently, after my healing with you, I had struggled to walk to the shop. It took a couple of minutes before needing to stop. My doctor referred me to a urologist who diagnosed cirrhosis of my liver. The X-Rays and liver biopsy showed that my liver was scarred, and my urologist told me that it was permanently damaged. I used to drink a lot, too much in my late teens and 20’s, and I was shocked that it could do so much damage to my liver. It was just not something that crossed my mind back then.
A friend suggested that I try Reiki and energy healing and I was already researching ayurvedic and Chinese medicine but that was two years ago and COVID had set in. So, I looked online and spotted Jerry Sargeant and Star Magic on YouTube. After watching a dozen or so videos, I contacted Jerry and booked a 1:1 healing session. I was open to anything, and I wanted my life back. He regressed me into one of my past lives and we healed it together. I felt a warm, soothing presence around me, and I saw alien language and symbols, and then felt something lift away. Afterwards I slept a lot and feel so much better.
I booked another session to ensure that things were clear. On this session, Jerry asked me to lie down and worked on me remotely, I have regained energy, strength, and vitality, and the blood in my urine had stopped too. I was healed and this was confirmed when my urologist saw a vast improvement in my liver scan and the scar tissue on my liver had also healed up. I am forever grateful to Jerry and Star Magic healing for being able to live and enjoy my life without any worries or medication. I am now living my life. It really feels like I have a new liver.

On April 9, 2022, Ocer Campion Jesuit College in Gulu, Uganda, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the grand opening of the newly constructed Fr. James Strzok, SJ, Science Hall. With the help of USAID/American Schools and Hospitals Abroad (ASHA) and the American people, as well as a partnership with Midwest Jesuits, a FY18 grant of $553,789 was awarded to build the A-level science building that will further science education for the bright youth in Gulu and its surrounding areas.
This grant from USAID/ASHA follows a previous FY17 grant of $500,000 for an A-level girls’ dorm, which celebrated its grand opening in June 2021. The dormitory now houses 300 girls.
The Honorable Denis Hamson Obua represented the minister of education. Hon. Obua expressed his gratitude for the great donation to the school and urged students to be disciplined, committed, and trusting in God, as that is the basis of success. Most Reverend John Baptist Odama, Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Gulu, also attended the ribbon-cutting and called on students to concentrate and work hard on their studies.
Ocer Campion Jesuit College was cofounded by Fr. Tony Wach, SJ, a Midwest Jesuit and alumnus of Campion Jesuit High School in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, and opened its doors in 2010 following a post-civil war recovery initiative in northern Uganda. Ocer Campion is a private Catholic boarding school founded and operated by the Eastern Africa Province of the Society of Jesus. The school offers quality education to both boys and girls from different religious affiliations with the mission to promote progress through learning, loving, and serving. This mission aims to mold Ocer Campion students to become ethical, principled, and responsible leaders. | <urn:uuid:f9e5c5f0-d349-443b-a4ed-0342488d9141> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.jesuitsmidwest.org/stories/ocer-science-22/ | 2024-04-19T12:49:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.967744 | 383 |
Bottomless Brunches Are Illegal and Now Happiness Is Dead
LatestGuys, this might be your final weekend for happiness. No really, I’m serious. The NYC Hospitality Alliance has highlighted a somewhat hidden restaurant rule. On what, you ask? Kitchen cleanliness? No. Rats? Nope. Bottomless brunches? YES. That’s right, those unlimited deals — on mimosas and Bloody Marys (and whiskey drinks at the swanky joints) — that make Sundays in New York so fun are actually against the law. What’s that? Oh, just the sound of your weekend buzz dying.
Recently there has been press about restaurants around New York City that offer bottomless brunches or unlimited drink offers. In most cases, these type of promotions are UNLAWFUL according to the NYS Liquor Authority (SLA).
Essentially, according to the Alliance, who is merely translating the law, restauranteurs are prohibited from “selling, serving, delivering or offering to patrons an unlimited number of drinks during any set period of time for a fixed price.” And yes, this law also includes your favorite club’s ladies night where the drink specials let you party off all those TPS reports you filed so someone else could throw them away. Club drink specials are breaking the law too, and I’m guessing this will ruin all New Year’s Eve party planning. How else will restaurants entice us to hunker down with them for four hours? Boo.
Apparently the only drink specials that are legal are two-for-ones and discounts that aren’t more than half price. So, bring your flask to brunch ladies, because Eater thinks a crackdown is on the horizon and shit’s about to get real.

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I haven’t posted since June. It's now the beginning of November, the leaves are changing colors, I've started wearing sweaters and there are pumpkins on my front porch.
I have missed writing. It is something I love to do. However, at the start of June, I decided to take a break.
Up until that month, a lot of change had happened – multiple moves (OR to GA to AZ to OR to OH to DE), buried my dad, supported my family in grief and loss, all while deepening a new relationship, integrating into a blended family, pursuing additional certifications, as well as growing my own private practice.
It was a lot to process and be present for, and by June, I was noticing moments of anxiety, depression, and overwhelm show up more frequently. I wanted to stay connected to life, but I was exhausted and needed to find ways to support my own system as I continued to integrate all the change and transition from the past year.
A few questions I asked myself to help figure out what I needed were:
What do I notice happening in my body as I reflect back over the past months?
How is my body responding to these changes?
Does my own system feel safe? OR am I reacting or shutting down?
What is not happening that would be helpful or supportive in this moment as I experience all these changes?
My answers to these questions didn’t come from thinking my way through them. It was a much more internal, reflective process of noticing emotions, sensations, and the impulse for certain movements within my own body. And even then, the outcome wasn’t a logical step-by-step process.
As I held these questions open over the past few months, I looked for moments when I felt an increased sense of safety and support in my body. In these moments, there was a spaciousness and capacity for deeper breath.
I also paid attention to the moments when I felt myself wanting to pull away or tightening within my body. The combined awareness of all of these things became valuable information when deciding how to better support myself.
One of the decisions I made was stopping my newsletters and blog posts. Another was to increase my own work with practitioners. I chose to prioritize sleep over fitness. I withdrew from a Master’s degree program that no longer aligned with my goals. I declined invitations and opportunities, even when doing so meant disappointing others. Not all of these decisions were easy to make. Still, I continued to trust my body to show me what I needed to restore a sense of safety and connection within myself.
I've said before, I didn’t get into this work to fix people – I got into it because I needed it myself. And I still do! My work with others comes out of my commitment to my own healing and growth. One reason I love sharing these newsletters is that they are an invitation for you to walk alongside me and observe my journey.
You see, I'm right here, "in it" just like you. I'm still learning and growing and integrating this work into my life. I’m trying to find balance and not allow the pace of life to leave me exhausted. And I am still dealing with change and hard things.
I feel excited and grateful to be ready to return to writing. I look forward to connecting with you in this way once again. My hope is these posts will be an offering of encouragement wherever you are on your own journey.
We’re in this together, | <urn:uuid:424f894c-41e6-431b-95f2-77c3e5b06b5d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.jmeller.com/post/changes-of-season-i-m-back | 2024-04-19T13:05:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.978577 | 740 |
Takeaway: You’ve done healing work before, but life happens. New stressors are bound to come up, or old wounds might resurface. Emotional wellness coaching can help you move forward with increased self-awareness and compassion.
Your wellness matters.
Have you ever found yourself reacting disproportionately to something and thought: “Wait a second … I thought I moved past that?”
While it may be momentarily discouraging to revisit something you previously thought was complete, it can be a doorway into another layer of healing.
Mental health coaches can help you process that next layer of healing so that you can develop an even deeper level of self-awareness and self-acceptance.
What to expect from mental health coaching
No two people are the same, so it makes sense that your healing path will be completely unique as well. Whether you're experiencing emotional health challenges, personal and professional challenges, or negative thinking patterns, mental health coaching can help.
You'll work together with your mental health coach to create a plan that's tailor-made for your needs, values, and goals. Your coach's role is to be part of your support system: not tell you what to do.
While mental health coaches use their professional training and lived experience to offer feedback and guidance, they recognize that you know what feels best for you.
During your work with your mental health coach, you'll examine the emotional patterns that are keeping you stuck. Are you noticing negative self talk resurface? Are you struggling to manage stress in your day to day life? Does the idea of finding a healthy work life balance feel out of reach?
Whatever you're going through, your mental health coach will help you figure out how to deepen your insight and self love. Together, you'll identify the steps needed to reconnect with your life purpose and become the best version of yourself-and help you take action to get there.
The mental health coaching process
Healing and growth is a journey, not a destination. Your coach is here to help you on that journey. While each coach may take a slightly different approach to address mental health issues and help clients manage emotions, here's a general idea of what you can expect.
In the first coaching session, you’ll have the opportunity to share your story. You'll also identify your goals and desired outcome.
From here, you and your coach will clearly identify the areas of your life where things feel challenging, the history behind it, and why it’s coming up for you in this moment.
Using modalities that resonate best with you, you and your coach will then begin the work of going deeper to process the things that need attention.
When coaching is complete, you’ll walk away with a greater sense of self-awareness so that you can continue to process and grow in your journey toward emotional well being.
Who emotional & mental health coaching is for
Many different people can benefit from working with a coach. Here are just a few examples of who coaching is for.
You've done the work before.
You’ve been to therapy or have worked with a coach to process aspects of your life. You want to continue your own work. You want to have a resource on-call for when you need that extra support.
You're navigating a change or living through a season of life that feels particularly overwhelming.
Change can be uncomfortable and bring out insecurities we thought we had resolved. You need someone to support you and your emotional responses as you move through change. Your coach will help you find a positive outlook as you navigate life's challenges.
You find yourself reacting instead of responding.
It feels as though your emotional wounds have been reopened. You are realizing that your reactions are rooted in something deeper that needs additional healing. A new layer of healing is being revealed and you want to continue the work.
FAQs about working with an emotional & mental health coach
Many people are new to the idea of emotional and mental health coaching. Here, I've answered some of the common questions I hear as an emotional wellness coach.
How are mental health coaches different from therapists?
Coaches and therapists both provide important mental health services. However, there are important differences. A therapist is trained in treating complex clinical problems that may require a diagnosis or specialized treatment.
Working with a mental health coach bolsters mental health in a different way. It's often a good fit for people who need less intensive-but equally meaningful-support. You'll still learn (or refresh existing) ways to challenge negative thinking patterns, improve
relationship skills, and find a greater awareness of yourself and your emotions.
Additionally, mental health coaches (like myself) are able to work with people all over the world. On the other hand, a licensed mental health professional has restrictions on where their clients are located.
Therapists also have to complete certain education and professional requirements in order to practice. While coaches don't have the same requirements, many receive specialized training, often in some of the same modalities used by therapists. Some examples include Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and more.
What can mental health coaches help with?
Each person has different life experiences and struggles (as well as strengths). While this isn't an exhaustive list, here are a few issues that emotional well being coaches can help you navigate:
Anxiety and depression
Difficulty managing emotions
Problems in relationships
Lack of motivation
Desire for personal development and growth
Working with an emotional wellness coach can help you get more deeply connected to yourself
It's tempting to think that emotional well being is something to achieve. After all, things would be a lot easier if we could follow a formula to get perfect mental health. It can take some painful unlearning to realize that's not how it works.
However, I'd argue that the reality is even more beautiful: instead of staying stagnant, we have the ability to continue deepening our self awareness, building our self esteem, and striving for personal growth throughout our entire lives.
My mental health coaching business was born out of my own journey with mental illness, trauma, and serious life changes. Through my own experience and my work with clients, I've seen how transformative and empowering inner work can be.
I can help you live your life from a place that is deeply rooted in self-awareness, self-compassion, courage, and grace. It’s a place where you’re not reactive to life, but are responding to it, and finding joy in the process.

07/26/2023 / By Ethan Huff
A black “writer, cultural critic and championship-level Spades player” has written a piece for The Grio, which was also picked up and republished by Yahoo News, telling other black people that the only way for all of them to receive the reparations they feel they deserve is to “take things from white people.”
Michael Harriot, the black man in question, actually titled his hate-filled rant “Take things from white people,” opening it up with the question: “What is the opposite of backlash?”
Harriot’s piece is a response to the Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn affirmative action policies that for decades have allowed colleges and universities across America the legal right to discriminate against white people and Asians while propping up blacks and Hispanics.
Also fueled by the 2020 George Floyd psy-op and the Black Lives Matter (BLM) terrorism sprees that ensued, Harriot’s anger seeps from every word of his piece, which basically calls on blacks to continue looting, robbing, and harming white people every chance they get.
“Over the last five years, the long game of white supremacy has stymied police reform [read: handcuffing cops], thwarted student debt relief [read: having blue-collar people pay off white-collar people’s debt], criminalized Black history [read: protected kids from racist Critical Race Theory], ousted Black educators attempting to equalize education [read: shielded students from indoctrination] and made it harder for Black people to cast ballots [read: combated vote fraud],” Harriot writes.
(Related: America First Legal [AFL] has promised to sue any and all colleges and universities that violate the Supreme Court’s overturning of affirmative action.)
After unpacking a litany of statistics that he believes shows that white people are evil and want to keep all black people down, Harriot proceeds in his article to suggest that America faces an “unchanging stream (of) anti-Black sentiment that periodically pierces the wall of Black defenses.”
“And while Black America is furiously defending itself, the white reaction is always the same: White people come to take things.”
Harriot’s hatred for whites blurred his understanding of the statistics he presented in this article, which is full of cherry-picked anti-white data points that completely ignore the fact that all of the things he hates about white people are also true of Asians, Hispanics, and pretty much every other non-black demographic.
“Consider that it isn’t just 57 percent of whites who oppose race-based affirmative action; Asians also do 52-37, while Hispanics are evenly split, according to the poll Harriot cites,” writes Selwyn Duke for The New American.
“As for reparations, 65 percent of Asians and 58 percent of Hispanics join the whites in opposing it. In fact, every single demographic apart from blacks – whether defined by race / ethnicity, income, age, or educational level – opposes reparations. Why, even a plurality of Democrat / Democrat leaners do.
“So while Harriot tries to make whites appear the outliers here, it is blacks who oppose the rest of America on reparations.”
Harriot made other false claims in his piece, including the statement that a “poor white child has as much economic opportunity as a Black child raised by wealthy parents.” This claim was pulled straight out of Harriot’s derriere since there is no such truth anywhere to be found in science.
In conclusion, Harriot’s solution to all the things he feels are a problem is to simply commit crimes against white people and steal their stuff. This includes eliminating job recommendations, banning Santa Claus and Christmas songs, and banning all male and female bathrooms and books about heterosexual relationships, because all of these things are apparently anti-black.

Israel offered the Palestinians land in the Negev in exchange for West Bank settlement blocs.
The idea was part of a draft peace deal that Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert presented to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas this week, Ha’aretz reported Tuesday.
Under the proposal, which was leaked to the newspaper, Israel would keep West Bank settlement blocs, turn the West Bank security fence into a border and evacuate settlers east of it. In exchange for what would be, effectively, an annexation of 7 percent of West Bank land, Israel would cede a parcel of the Negev to the Gaza Strip.
The Negev land would be equivalent to 5.5 percent of the West Bank; the shortfall would be made up for by a road connecting Gaza and the West Bank, allowing for free Palestinian passage between the territories.
According to Ha’aretz, the Gaza annexation would take place only after Abbas reestablishes his authority over the Gaza Strip, ending Hamas rule there.
The P.A. leadership has indicated a willingness to consider territorial exchanges, but other disputes remain.
Both sides want sovereignty in Jerusalem, which Israel has vowed to keep as its undivided capital. According to Ha’aretz, Olmert and Abbas agreed to defer the Jerusalem issue to future negotiations.
Israel also has demanded that the future Palestinian state be demilitarized, while the Palestinians want an armed force capable of defending against “outside threats,” Ha’aretz reported.
According to the newspaper, Olmert’s proposal includes a “detailed and complex formula” for solving the issue of Palestinian refugees. Israel wants the refugees resettled in a future Palestinian state while the Palestinians want them to be granted a “right” to land that is now in the Jewish state.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will visit Jerusalem and Ramallah next week to try to move Israeli-Palestinian peace talks forward.

Immigration officials say they are “guardedly optimistic” following the release on Sunday of July’s aliyah statistics.
During July, the overall aliyah rate rose an impressive 36.6 percent over the June immigration figures, while aliyah from the former Soviet republics rose 25 percent.
In all, 6,575 immigrants arrived in Israel during July, including 4,872 from the Soviet successor states. Only 4,812 people immigrated in June, among them 3,898 from the republics.
While the July figures are encouraging, they are still 40.7 percent below the July 1991 statistics, when 11,101 immigrants arrived, including 10,325 from the former Soviet Union. Since the beginning of 1992, 39,884 people have made aliyah, compared to 105,611 during the same period last year.
In related news, the Israeli Embassy in Moscow issued 5,390 immigration visas last month, compared with 4,659 in June, and 3,720 in May.
About 1.2 million Jews in the former Soviet republics currently hold approved requests for family reunification, according to the Jewish Agency. Of these, some 62,000 hold exit visas from the local immigration authorities, while 34,000 have received Israeli immigration visas.
Commenting on last month’s rise in aliyah, Jewish Agency Chairman Simcha Dinitz said, “I am optimistic regarding future immigration to Israel, though it is premature to judge whether this month’s 25 percent increase in Soviet immigrants is the beginning of an upward trend.”

Everyone’s worried about how to protect themselves from COVID-19, but did you know the virus is threatening your home network and devices, too? Yes, as if the threat of getting seriously ill or worse weren’t bad enough, this crisis is coming for our devices.
Scammers are taking advantage of escalating fear of the virus, and the sharp uptick in remote work by companies seeking to mitigate the spread of the disease, by developing new phishing techniques that could threaten your personal information and financial security.
In fact, Computer Weekly reports that, collectively, the proliferation of COVID-19-related phishing emails, malware, and other threats makes the pandemic the largest security threat ever, as social engineering attacks are deployed on a massive scale.
The COVID-19 Cybersecurity Threats Keep Coming
As the entire world hunkers down and tries to wait out the worst pandemic of the last 100 years, cyber criminals, hackers, and scammers are having a field day.
The global economy may be set for a major contraction due to COVID-19, but cyber crime is looking for a payday. So many malware and phishing threats have emerged as a result of the pandemic that it’s impossible to list them all.
In the week prior to April 17, 2020, Google blocked a staggering 18 million COVID-19-related phishing and malware emails a day. For some context, the enormous tech company blocks about 100 million phishing emails on an average day.
The majority of phishing and malware emails related to the novel coronavirus play on users’ medical and financial fears regarding the unfolding realities of the pandemic.
A significant number purport to come from members of the World Health Organization, offering medical safety and hygiene advice — one such common attack includes a malicious Word attachment that downloads malware onto the user’s device.
Another prevalent malware email claims to offer users access to an interactive map tracking COVID-19 cases and deaths in real time. The map is fake, and so is the software that the email urges users to download to create said fake map — it’s malware. But the map and the message look so sophisticated that many users are taken in.
That’s not uncommon. Phishing attacks in general are getting more sophisticated, and COVID-19-related attacks are no exception to that rule. Many of these attacks are so incredibly sophisticated that users don’t give them a second thought.
And at least some of the attacks are state-sponsored efforts to target international health care workers, U.S. government employees, and public health agencies, among others. With droves of employees suddenly working from home with little in the way of IT support, the risks are even greater.
Don’t Fall Victim to COVID-19 Cyber Attacks
There may not be a vaccine for COVID-19 yet, but protecting yourself from related cyber threats is fortunately somewhat easier. Start by making sure you have a secure network, especially if you’re working from home. With malware and phishing threats ramping up, you need to beef up your home network security, too.
The right solution will offer the IT support you need (and which your company, let’s face it, probably isn’t equipped to give you at this juncture), combined with security for all your smart devices and total control over your network — who and what connects to it, event timelines, real-time threat notifications, and more.
Comprehensive home network security can’t take the place of vigilance and good old-fashioned common sense, though.
Now more than ever, you need to be skeptical of any emails you get, especially any that offer medical or hygiene information, safety tips, cures or treatments for COVID-19 (there are none, and if any emerge, you won’t find out about them from a stranger’s poorly written email), interactive maps, or even meal deals from local restaurants.
Don’t follow any links in emails you receive or download any attachments you weren’t expecting, and avoid discussing sensitive information in email if at all possible.
As the COVID-19 crisis deepens, it’s become clear that it’s not just a global threat to public health. It’s also ushered in an historic wave of social engineering attacks, phishing scams, and malware.
Take the right steps to protect yourself from COVID-19, and stay vigilant against coronavirus cyber attacks, too. The safety of your network and devices, and your very financial future, could depend on it.

August 5, 2019 is remembered as the most historic and the golden day of post-independence India when the unfinished agenda of complete integration of Jammu and Kashmir was executed by abrogating of Article 370 and the dream of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee ‘Ek desh mein do vidhan, do pradhan aur do nishan nahi chalenge’ (In one country, two different sets of legislature, executive, and judiciary cannot function) was fulfilled. The Article 370 gave a special statue to the state although it was yet discriminatory and obstacle in development of the state. It was supposed to be a temporary provision in the Constitution of India, but it was perpetuated due to the vested interest of various political parties.
Under the able leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister, Shri Amit Shah became the architect of modern and new Kashmir.
Dr. Syama Prasad always believed that the Article 370 was working as a deterrent for the cultural unification of India and Kashmir and it was harmful for the unity of the country. As a founder of Jana Sangh he sacrificed his life for the cause of complete integration of Kashmir and for abolishing the permit rule in Kashmir.
In fact, the Article 370 had become a sweltering wound which became septic and dangerous to the overall health of the nation. Scrapping of Article 370 was a surgery which was necessary.
Whenever the history of India would be written dispassionately, this will be hailed as one of the biggest steps by the Modi Government who is known for its strong, decisive and farsighted decisions. Shri Amit Shah visited Kashmir this week for the first time after the abrogation of Article 370. The new approach of Kashmir policy adopted by the Union Home Minister is clear- Justice for all, appeasement for none and at no cost anyone would be allowed to disturb the peace of the state.
Immediately after landing in Srinagar, he went straight to the brave policeman who made the supreme sacrifice while protecting the national integration and sovereignty of India.
Later, he took a high-level meeting on the security situation in Kashmir.
He was well received by all the sections, classes and regions of Kashmir. The focus of the new Kashmir-policy is the people of Kashmir and specifically the Kashmiri youth. The Home Minister extended his hand of cooperation to the Kashmiri Youth and urged them to work for the development of the New Kashmir which is full of opportunities, growth and development.
The last 2 years have seen ‘Kashmir’ move on the road to national and cultural-integration; unprecedented all round development and economic-growth. The pellets and guns have given way to ballot papers. There are hardly any incidents of stone-pelting or violent protests. The secessionist gang of Hurriyat has been dismantled. Kashmir is not witnessing any curfew, forced-protests, and ‘Bandh-call incited by Pro-Pakistani Hurriyat conference.
Kashmir has seen a protracted arms insurgency by a few miscreants supported by the terrorist nation of Pakistan. After the removal of Article-370, there is a substantial and measurable decline in terror-activity in the J&K Union Territory. As per one report of the Home Ministry, there is a decline of terror incidents up to 60% in Jammu and Kashmir which has reported 614 terror incidents in 2018, while the number reduced to 244 in 2020.
A new targeted approach of development, political-healing and political-participation at the ground level has been initiated at a massive level. In the peaceful election of DDC in December 2020, 100 women were elected for the first time which had a voting turnover of 52%. For the first time, reservation was implemented in the political field following which 6 women, 2 leaders belonging to SC and ST were elected as chairpersons.

LE SSERAFIM member Hong Eunchae is becoming a topic of discussion due to her skirt length, which is deemed “too short”.
On October 20th, an article titled “A girl group member who’s being talked about due to her skirt being too short” was posted on a Korean online forum.
Eunchae is smiling brightly as she spins round and round with a youthful look. However, it is pointed out that her overly short outfit, which barely covered her buttocks, is too excessive for a minor.
Under the article, netizens also showed concerns via comments such as, “Isn’t this too short?”, “This is too short for a minor”, and “I hope they dress young idols like their true age.”
Hong Eunchae, who was born in November 2006, is a 17-year-old high school freshman.
Earlier, Hong Eunchae’s group LE SSERAFIM was scheduled to start promotions for the release of their second mini-album “ANTIFRAGILE” on October 17th. However, the schedules for the first week of comeback was changed due to an unexpected car accident.
In particular, LE SSERAFIM’s schedule for the October 20th episode of Mnet’s “M!Countdown” and the October 21st episode of KBS2’s “Music Bank” has been canceled. In addition, rescheduling for fan signing events on the 21st and 22nd will be re-announced for winners after adjustments are decided . | <urn:uuid:8ba245ec-5eaa-442a-9f98-416f9ab804c5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.kbizoom.com/too-much-for-a-minor-le-sserafim-hong-eunchaes-short-skirt-length-draws-controversial-opinions/ | 2024-04-19T11:32:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.986951 | 342 |

The Rankin government announced today, March 18, full-time foster families will receive a one-time payment of $5,000 under the Because You Care Foster Family initiative. The initiative is in recognition of the fact that foster families incur expenses for which they often do not submit a claim.
“Foster parents provide love and security to vulnerable children across Nova Scotia. They’re among our most dedicated volunteers in the province,” said Kelly Regan, Minister of Community Services. “Anyone who is a parent recognizes there are many costs, both big and small, raising a child. We want to ensure that foster families receive payment for those expenses, and hope they understand how deeply we appreciate all they do.”
Ms. Regan also announced that government is committed to redesigning the province’s foster care system to better support both children in care and foster families.
Part of reforming foster care includes the recruitment of nearly 500 more full-time foster families. Recognizing that changing the system will take time, and in recognition that these new families will incur similar costs, government will provide the one-time funding to approved new families until the goal of 1,000 full-time foster families is reached. This is the number of foster families Nova Scotia needs to ensure a loving and safe home is available for vulnerable children in their own communities, when they need it.
Further details about foster care system redesign are being finalized and will be shared at a later date.
Today’s announcement by our government shows they value the efforts of our foster families of Nova Scotia, especially during this past year with the pandemic. I am sure all foster families will appreciate this acknowledgment. The government also realizes we need more foster families recruited and we need to retain homes we now have. They have announced steps to help this happen and I am sure we will have positive results. Department of Community Services staff have worked extremely hard to enhance our foster care system and these announcements will help ensure we have family-based homes for the children in care. Wendell Fraser, chair of the board, Federation of Foster Families of Nova Scotia

Kenya beat out Italy to rank 7th globally in the production of geothermal power across the globe.
The new global rankings were reflected in the Renewable Capacity Statistics for the year 2020 published the previous week by the International Renewable Energy Agency.
The rankings were based on the different capacity of each country with Kenya's increased capacity of 823MW beating out Italy's 800MW.
Kenya was the only country shortlisted and leads Africa in the production of geothermal energy.
Across the globe, the US leads in capacity with 2,555MW followed by Indonesia with 2231mw, the Philippines comes in third with 1,928MW with Turkey's 1515MW landing it 4th.
Kenya is on track to join the club of 4 countries with an installed 1000MW capacity or greater.
Kenya's leap was credited to the addition of the largest geothermal capacity in the world which allowed it to move from the ninth position and join the world giants.
Geothermal power accounts for 30% of Kenya's installed electrical capacity of 2,700MW with hydropower, wind, solar and thermal power accounting for the remaining 70%.
Kenya constructed its first geothermal station in 1981 dubbed Olkaria one.
KenGen which owns and operates 85% of Kenya's installed capacity recently added Olkaria V with a 165.4MW capacity to the national grid.
The country currently contributes 6% of the world's global installed capacity which stands at 13, 931MW.
Kenya has an untapped potential of 10,000MW of geothermal energy in Rift Valley where exploration continues.

A devastating crash on I-81 in the early morning of November 6 closed southbound lanes for three hours and sent over two dozen people to local hospitals. The car accident, which is still being investigated by New York authorities, involved a bus and a tractor-trailer as well as the initial car. The driver of the car is facing DUI charges associated with the accident.
According to authorities, the bus — which was carrying some 52 passengers — was headed south when an accident happened ahead of it. A car, reputedly driven by a 36-year-old man believed to be intoxicated, crashed into a guard rail. The bus struck the car and then a tractor-trailer, which had parked so that its driver could offer aid to the car’s driver.
In all, 27 people on board the bus were injured, including the bus driver, who had to be cut out of the vehicle over the course of several hours. The driver was the most seriously injured and was listed as being in critical condition, while the injured passengers all suffered minor injuries. The driver of the car is in custody awaiting a criminal trial.
If it can be proved that the driver of the car was intoxicated, and that his intoxication contributed to the car accident that caused the bus to crash, the driver could face serious criminal repercussions. In addition, he could also face a slew of personal injury lawsuits, which all injured parties on board the bus would be allowed under New York law to file. The success of these suits is not contingent upon the outcome of a criminal case.

Certain procedures require dental sedation, for the purpose of keeping a child calm and as comfortable as possible during their dental visit. There are multiple types of sedation, one of which may be recommended or required if a child needs to undergo a lengthy procedure or multiple complex procedures within one visit. Your child may also require or be more comfortable with dental sedation if he or she has special needs, is extremely fearful of dental care, or experiences great difficulty sitting still. As pediatric professionals, the decision to recommend or require oral conscious sedation for a child’s dental care is always dictated by what is most advantageous for the child, not out of convenience for the dentist or parent/caregiver. Dental sedation is considered very low risk, and as a practice, our goal is to care for your child’s dental needs in the least invasive and safest manner possible.
What Exactly Is Dental Sedation?
Dental sedation may be advised or required for multiple reasons and is usually performed at the pediatric dentist’s office before your child’s dental procedure(s). Sedation is the use of one of the multiple forms of mild sedative drugs for calming purposes or anxiety relief while dental procedures are being performed. Sedation may also be necessary and given by the dentist when a child displays a high “gag reflex,” when the child’s safety may be jeopardized without a sedative, or when too many procedures must be done at once for the child to handle without sedation. Oftentimes oral conscious sedation is used on very young children who display extreme dental decay or are unable to cooperate in the typical manner. Pediatric dentists will most commonly utilize oral conscious sedation to gain cooperation from children to eliminate disruptive behavior and to prevent patients from accidentally causing injury to themselves during a dental procedure. This sedative drug is used often in conjunction with nitrous oxide and oxygen analgesia.
Dental sedative medication does not control or decrease pain. A different medication is administered (injected) to numb the mouth and reduce discomfort during procedures, after the sedative is given. The effects of sedation may persist up to 6 hours after a procedure, so the pediatric dentist will always give parents/caregivers special instructions regarding pre and post-procedure care for the child.
Types Of Dental Sedation
There multiple components to dental sedation and more than one type. Multiple medications may be used in conjunction with each other, depending on a child’s particular situation and needs. The type of sedation best suited for a child depends on each individual situation and the extent and complexity of the dental work being performed. Types of dental sedation include:
Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Analgesia—Nitrous oxide and oxygen analgesia is also known as “laughing gas” or “happy air.” It smells good and its effects are completely removed five minutes after withdrawal. Many children find it helpful in managing dental anxiety. It provides a sensation of wellbeing.
Conscious Sedation—Sometimes a sedative drug is used to relax a child who does not respond to other behavior management techniques. Often this is an extremely young child who has extensive decay and who is unable to cooperate in the usual manner. This drug is administered orally and may be used in conjunction with nitrous oxide and oxygen analgesia. Sedations are not performed without parents being further informed and obtaining their consent for this procedure.
Hospital Dentistry or IV Disassociative Sedation—For some children with medical complications, extensive decay at a very young age, or instances when conscious sedation is ineffective, dental treatment can be accomplished in a hospital operating room under general anesthesia or by IV sedation in the dental office. Additional information is provided to parents regarding this information.
Benefits Of Dental Sedation Outweigh The Risks
Oral conscious sedation as well as IV sedations are considered low risk and safe. A parent or caregiver, however, should always make an informed decision when consenting to the administration of dental medications or procedures being performed on their child. The risks of oral conscious sedation, although extremely unlikely, will be explained prior to a child’s procedure. The parent/caregiver must then sign a form stating that he or she understands the risks of sedation and is consenting to this medication being administered before the procedure(s).
The benefits of dental sedation include reduction of anxiety, elimination of disruptive behavior, cooperation for dental treatment, prevention of self-injury during a dental procedure, and removal of the dental disease process as to prevent further dental or medical complications. | <urn:uuid:1e3d6dd6-82b3-4748-880e-39ae0e6bf381> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.kidsdentalonline.com/dental-topics/tips-safety/dental-sedation/ | 2024-04-19T12:17:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.934572 | 956 |

Can A Warrant Be Issued For The Wrong Person
Once the crime is committed and the suspect is identified then the arrest warrant can be issued. Sometimes the warrant is issued for the wrong person. The person it is issued for is incorrect because their identity had been stolen and used by someone else.
For the police to obtain an arrest warrant they must write to the Magistrates court for permission. If the court grants the warrant, then the police may enter and search premises in order to make an arrest.
For instance, they must have reasonable grounds for believing a person has, is about to or will commit an offence. Reasons a police officer may choose to proceed without a warrant, include: If they have a false address or information. To prevent a suspect from disappearing. If the suspect or someone is at harm.
Check out our section on actions against the police for more information. There are other types of warrants that could lead to a persons arrest, including search warrants and bench warrants. What is a search warrant?
Warrants do not last forever the police have up to three months to arrest a person after a warrant being issued. Certain terms and police powers will also be laid out in a warrant. For instance, the courts may set a time frame determining when an arrest can take place.
If You Have A Warrant Out For Your Arrest Or You Missed Your Criminal Court Date Here’s What You Should Do
By Lauren Baldwin, Contributing Author
If you discover that a bench warrant or arrest warrant has been issued against you or that you have missed a court hearing that you were ordered to attend , the most important thing to do is take action immediately. When you didn’t show up, the judge may have issued a bench warrant for your arrest. This means that the police can take you into custody at any time at a routine traffic stop, at your home or office, or when you appear at court on another matter. If you do not address the warrant, you will have to worry constantly that you may suddenly be taken to jail.

When Do The Police Need A Search Warrant
If a police officer leading an investigation feels a suspect has committed a crime or an indictable offence , they will require a warrant, which may give them grounds to search premises or arrest a suspect.
However, there are certain requirements that an officer must meet for the Court to grant a warrant, including:
- A suspect must be over 18
- The offence must be an indictable offence
- When a Court summons alone would not be good enough i.e. an not established address
- A warrant request must be submitted in writing
Why Are Warrants Issued
Courts issue warrants for various reasons.
- Bench warrant. A bench warrant is a warrant directing law enforcement to take a person into custody and bring the person before the court to address the reason the warrant was issued. Courts most commonly issue bench warrants for failure to appear, for violating probation, or for failure to comply with a court order to pay a fine, complete community service, pay child support, or do some other act. If you are picked up on a warrant, you could be held in jail until the court has a hearing on your case, or you could be required to post a high bond and pay court fees.
- Arrest warrant. If the police have enough evidence that you committed a crime, an officer or detective can request that the court issue a warrant for your arrest. Once in custody, you can be held without bail until an arraignment, release hearing, or similar proceeding.

Why Is There No Search In An Arrest Warrant
The search in search warrant assumes that officers will find and seize incriminating evidence, whether that be drugs, weapons, cash, electronic files, or virtually anything else. But the absence of the term search in arrest warrant doesnt mean that officers cant nab evidence in the course of apprehending someone.
Incorrect Information In Arrest Warrants
Sometimes, arrest warrants contain factual mistakes. For example, the suspect’s name may be misspelled or the wrong crime may be specified. Ideally, the police should show the warrant to the suspect. And, if the suspect is able to prove that the officer has the wrong person, then the officer should not proceed. As a practical matter, however, the police sometimes don’t show the warrant to the suspect for a variety of reasons real or imagined, and any mistakes as to identity are sorted out later. As for clerical errors, these aren’t enough to invalidate the warrant.

When Isn A Warrant Necessary
If the police have probable cause of a felony crime, they usually do not need a warrant. Probable cause means the police have reason to believe that it more likely than not that the suspect committed the crime in question. Because they have a strong case against the individual, they don need a judge permission to make an arrest.
For example, the crime might be committed in front of the police officer. As a witness to the crime, the officer can pursue and arrest the individual.
Usually, a police officer needs a warrant to arrest someone in their home. This is true even when they have probable cause. However, there are exceptions. They may be able to make a warrantless arrest if there are circumstances that make getting a warrant impractical. Known as exigent circumstances, these situations can involve:
Why Are There Arrest Warrants For My Arrest
Warrants for your arrest can happen for a number of reasons. Admin mistakes like never receiving court date information or missing court due to scheduling conflicts can happen. Whether you accidentally or purposefully avoided court, arrest warrants can be an extra annoyance to already tedious legal situations.
When Is An Arrest Made By Virtue Of A Warrant
When making an arrest by virtue of a warrant, the officer shall inform the person to be arrested of the cause of the arrest and the fact that a warrant has been issued for his arrest, except when he flees or forcibly resists before the officer has opportunity to so inform him, or when the giving of such information will imperil the arrest.
What Are Search Warrants
A search warrant is a legal document signed by a judge that authorizes law enforcement officers to conduct a search at a specific location in order to seize certain items. A search warrant allows law enforcement officers to look for and seize evidence of criminal activity.
The process of obtaining a search warrant is similar to the process of obtaining an arrest warrant. Law enforcement officers must submit a written affidavit to a judge that outlines the reason why they need the warrant. They must prove to the judge that they have probable cause to believe that criminal activity is occurring at the specific location or evidence of criminal activity may be found at the specific location.
The judge will review the affidavit to determine if the officer has successfully established probable cause. If so, they will sign off on the search warrant.
The warrant will contain very specific information regarding where the officers can and cannot search. For example, the warrant may specify that the officers can only search the backyard of a home, rather than the home itself. Law enforcement officers cannot search any area that is not included in the warrant.
In most cases, the police will need a warrant to search your person or property. But sometimes, the police can conduct a search without a warrant. For instance, if you give an officer permission to conduct a search, they will not need to obtain a warrant first.

How Can The Police Obtain A Warrant
If the police suspect you have committed or had some involvement with a crime, they have the right to search or confiscate items from your property.
However, you have certain rights to privacy under Article 8 of the Human Rights Act, which could be used to argue against an unlawful arrest.
If you feel you have been subject to an unlawful arrest or an unlawful search by the police then its worth taking a look at our guide to making complaints against the police to see if you have a case.
The police will require a warrant to either arrest you or carry out a search of your property. An officer must apply for a warrant through the Magistrates Courts by making a written request.
How Are Arrest Warrants Valid Under The Fourth Amendment
The Fourth Amendment requires that the warrant particularly describe the person to be arrested. If that description contains enough detail that would reasonably lead law enforcement to determine that you were the intended subject, the warrant may still be valid.

What Happens In The Execution Of A Warrant
Execution of Warrants. Summers, 191 the Court held that officers arriving to execute a warrant for the search of a house could detain, without being required to articulate any reasonable basis and necessarily therefore without probable cause, the owner or occupant of the house, whom they encountered on the front porch leaving the premises.
How Does An Officer Obtain An Arrest Warrant
How the Police Obtain an Arrest Warrant. To obtain a warrant, a police officer typically submits a written affidavit to a judge or magistrate. The affidavit, given under oath, must recite sufficient factual information to establish probable cause that a crime was committed and that the person named in the warrant committed it. A description so broad that it could apply to hundreds of people will not suffice.

What To Do During A Search Warrant
The best thing to do when served with a search warrant is to sit there, dont talk to the police while they go through your things. Another good thing to do is NOT look at the place you wish they would not search. At least one officer will probably be assigned to watch your actions during the search.
How Do Warrants Work
Sometimes on TV shows, for the sake of drama, theyll show the police officer arriving at the home of a suspect. Then after some dramatic monologue the police officer surprises the suspect and arrests them. Thats probably not whats going to happen in real life. If a crime has already been committed and not in the presence of an officer that officer will require a warrant to arrest a suspect. This article will provide a brief overview of warrants in California.

What Is A Police Warrant
A warrant is a legal document issued by a judge or court official that allows police to execute an arrest or search for evidence related to a crime. An arrest warrant is an alternative way to arrest a person when police officers were not witnesses to the crime or were not in pursuit of a suspect following a crime.
Do You Have To Have An Arrest Warrant To Make An Arrest
The statutes governing arrest warrants were put into place by the Fourth Amendment in order to protect people against unlawful arrests. However, an officer does not necessarily have to have an arrest warrant in order to make an arrest.
Perhaps the warrant contains the wrong name or states the wrong crime as the basis for the arrest. If there is a typo or an error that does not defeat the main basis for the warrant, this will not make the warrant invalid.
How Do I Know If There Is A Warrant Out For My Arrest
There may come a time where you believe there may be a warrant out for your arrest. A common example that comes across my office is when there is a domestic dispute, and someone involved calls police, but by the time the police arrive, someone involved has left or is otherwise unavailable. In this example, the police will take a statement from one party, and if they believe they have received enough information to establish probable cause for an arrest, they will pursue an arrest warrant or capias.
Other examples come to mind, for instance, you may have been called by an investigator for the Government regarding a various criminal incident. First and foremost, absolutely do not give a statement under these circumstances. If an investigator calls you, they are fishing for information that hopefully can trigger enough evidence that probable cause for an arrest is justified. Remember, statements are evidence. Testimony is evidence.
Unfortunately, it is rare that someone from the government will call and inform you that a warrant has been set for your arrest. There are exceptions, often for crimes when the investigator has been in regular communication with the suspect, however, if you are a suspect that has been in regular discussion with the police, you have made a mistake! Stop immediately!
Regardless of why you may suspect there is an active warrant for your arrest, lets discuss how you can find out:
What Details Must An Arrest Warrant Include In Order To Be Valid
Under California Penal Code Section 815, a valid arrest warrant is required to include:
- the name of the defendant
- the crime the defendant is accused of committing
- the date and time at which it was issued
- the city or county where it was issued
- the signature and title of the judge who issued it and
- the court where it was issued.
If the document does not include any of these items, the arrest may be deemed illegal and the circumstances of the case may be altered in the defendant’s favor.

Obtaining A Search Warrant
Only judges and magistrates may issue search warrants. In Coolidge v. Hampshire, 403 U.S. 443 , the Supreme Court held that a warrant must be issued by a “neutral and detached” judge capable of determining whether probable cause exists. To obtain a warrant, law enforcement officers must show that there is probable cause to believe a search is justified. Officers must support this showing with sworn statements , and must describe in particularity the place they will search and the items they will seize. In Groh v. Ramirez, 540 U.S. 551 , the Court held that a warrant that lacks accurate information as to what will be searched is improper, and that a search which happens pursuant to that warrant is unlawful and violates the Fourth Amendment.
In Illinois v. Gates, 462 U.S. 213 , the Supreme Court held that when deciding whether to issue the warrant, a judge must must consider the totality of the circumstances, including an informant’s veracity, reliability, and basis of knowledge.
When Can Police Make An Arrest
To make a lawful arrest, the police need probable cause that the suspect committed a crime. Like the term arrest, no exact definition of probable cause exists. Generally, probable cause requires more than suspicion that a suspect committed a crime but less than proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Courts review all the facts and information surrounding the arrest when deciding if the officer’s belief in the suspect’s guilt was reasonable.
Let’s say Eric owns a store that sells smartphones. He calls the police to report that his store was burglarized by a woman with blonde hair driving a black car. He says she stole four phones, two purple phone cases, and a pair of headphones. The police see a black car speeding away from the store. The officers pull the car over for speeding and notice that the driver has blonde hair. The officers see three phones, two purple phone cases, and a pair of headphones on the passenger seat. The officers have probable cause to arrest the driver for the burglary of Eric’s store.

Black Lentil Soup is SO much more flavorful and delicious than Green Lentil Soup.
Yes, black lentils are a little more expensive, BUT very worthwhile for this soup. It is a difference of a couple of shekels, I believe. If you can't do that right now, this soup also works well with other varieties of lentils.
This recipe is so easy! In addition, you can vary it somewhat to your preferences by adjusting the quantities and types of vegetables. Feel free to get creative! I actually made it a bit heartier today by adding a couple of diced potatoes to the pot.
Black Lentil Soup
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
4 stalks celery, chopped
4-6 carrots, sliced or diced
6+ cups water
500g black lentils
seasonings: salt, pepper, parsley, oregano, whatever else you like
Pick over the lentils (there are often stones in the
black lentils) and rinse them. Set them aside. Heat olive oil in soup
pot. Add chopped onion, chopped garlic, diced celery and carrots to
olive oil. cook till onion is
starting to carmelize. Add 6 or more cups water (depending on your pot)
and the lentils. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 20-30 min. Add seasonings
(I used pasley, salt, pepper, and oregano, sometimes smoked paprika), and simmer a few more
minutes. It should be nice and thick and fragrant when you serve it...
My family loves to pair this with fresh rolls, but garlic bread or pitot works well too!

In order to allow the public time to review and comment on sixteen sections of gravel roads that may be reclassified as earthen roads, the Saline County Commission agreed to table action on the proposal for two weeks. The same proposal would reclassify one section of road from earth to gravel.
Darren Fishel, Road Administrator, said that reclassifying these sections could save the county $10,000-15,000 annually. In a previous study session, commissioners individually reviewed which sections of road might be reclassified; they also asked that Hannah Stambaugh, Emergency Management Director, notify all emergency responders of the reclassifications.
Joe Kehr spoke directly about the proposed reclassification of “Stimmel Road 500 feet west of Hedville Road to the closed bridge”. At least five years ago, he’d been told by then county officials that this bridge was “next” on a list of bridges to be repaired in the region. Those plans did not materialize. Kehr spoke of the possibility of putting another house on land accessed by this segment of Stimmel Road. Kehr said he only heard of the proposed reclassification this morning, on SalinaPost. He said he had not been officially notified.
Commissioners asked that staff notify all affected land owners. Commissioner Jim Weese asked that designated emergency responders formally “sign off” on the reclassification plans.
Proposed Sections of Roads to Go from Gravel to Earth
- Amos Road going 1 mile south to McPherson County line.
- Hobbs Creed Road going 3200 feet west from Solomon Road.
- Lapsley Road from Gypsum Valley Road to Donmyer Road.
- Niles Road going ½ mile north of Lapsley Road.
- Holmes Road going south 1900 feet from Salemborg Road.
- Schilling Road from Kipp Road to Gypsum Valley Road.
- Donmyer Road going south from Riordan Road.
- Gypsum Valley Road between Ottawa Road and Humbargar Road.
- Giersch Road going north to the White Bridge in Ottawa County.
- Tressin Road going 1000 feet south of Pleasant Hill Road.
- McReynolds Road going 1000 feet east of K-104.
- Rose Hill Road between K-4 Highway and Centennial Road.
- Lightville Road going 1600 feet north of Parsons Road.
- Rose Hill Road between Soderberg Road and Tyler Road.
- Stimmel Road 500 feet west of Hedville Road to the closed bridge.
- Gypsum Valley Road from Country Club Road to Crawford Street.
Proposed Section of Road to Go from Earth to Gravel

BOSTON (AP) — Months after being sued, a small Massachusetts town has agreed to let a local Islamic group build a cemetery that some neighbors opposed.
Under a deal approved this week, the town of Dudley will permit the Islamic Society of Greater Worcester to buy a long-idle dairy farm and build a 6-acre cemetery at the site. In exchange, the group won't seek to expand the burial ground for at least a decade and will drop a lawsuit it filed against the town in July.
The society sued Dudley after a town zoning board denied plans for the cemetery in June, saying the group didn't have standing to seek a special permit. The group, which runs a mosque about 20 miles from Dudley, alleged that its constitutional rights were violated in the rejection.
During earlier meetings on the proposal, some residents had said they were worried the cemetery could contaminate groundwater because Muslims traditionally don't embalm bodies and bury their dead without coffins. They also cited concerns about noise, vandalism and increased traffic on the narrow road along the proposed site.
The group's leaders described those arguments as thinly veiled bigotry.
Both sides negotiated until October, when a lawyer for the Islamic group said talks had reached a standstill. But on Thursday, the town's governing body announced it had reached a deal.
Under the agreement, the Islamic group must return to the zoning board in early 2017 for a public hearing, but the cemetery proposal is to be approved. Once all its permits are granted, the group will drop its lawsuit. The deal says that Dudley won't make any settlement payments to the group or its attorneys.
Khalid Sadozai, trustee of the society, said in a statement that the group is going forward with the project.
"Today is a good day for citizens of all beliefs," he said. "Our right to practice our religion and honor loved ones in accordance with our Islamic faith has been affirmed."
The chairman of Dudley's governing body, Jonathan Ruda, issued a statement saying the agreement allows a fair, open application of the law.
"We want to stress that the town's sole interest and motivation has been for all parties to respect the legal and regulatory process, and has absolutely nothing to do with the religious affiliation of the applicant," he said.
Similar disputes have erupted across the country in states such as Texas, Pennsylvania and Minnesota. In some cases, opponents have defeated cemetery projects, while in others, Muslim groups have appealed and judged have cleared the way.

Neil Sedaka, Recording Yiddish 'Memories'
After five decades of pop hits, Neil Sedaka is preparing for a concert of Yiddish music. NPR's Scott Simon talks with the entertainer about his career and return to his Jewish musical roots.
While growing up in a non-religious family in Brooklyn's Brighton Beach neighborhood, Sedaka says he did learn to appreciate Jewish customs and traditions -- and he loved the music. But there was a slight detour before he released Brighton Beach Memories: Neil Sedaka Sings Yiddish in September 2003.
As a teenager, Sedaka horrified his mother by leaving his classical piano studies at Juilliard to write rock and roll. (She forgave him after he presented her with her first mink stole.)
Sedaka was hired to work in the legendary Brill Building along with songwriters Carole King, Neil Diamond and Paul Simon. The hits came spilling out: "Calendar Girl," "Oh Carol" and Sedaka's 1962 number one song, "Breaking Up is Hard to Do."
After the Beatles took over the charts, Sedaka faded from the public eye, only to stage a strong comeback in the early 1970s. In 1974, he had another number one hit with "Laughter in the Rain." At 65, he continues to tour and record.

You will all get to see it in a matter of hours but I need to tell you the highlights of this fitting because I had my sons with me.
My sons are 6 and almost 9. They don’t like doing any chores with Mama. They like playing LEGO and begging me to show them movies since now that’s something we do sometimes. They like getting annoyed with me when I won’t give them more than three jelly beans at a time. They like swimming and playing ball in the house. They do not like watching me try on dresses for award shows they don’t care about and won’t be seeing.
But I am divorced, and I had my kids all the way until Emmy Sunday, so with me they were. They pouted all the way there. Little Man asked, “Is it far? Are we there yet? How long?” a few dozen times. Firstborn kept it together a bit better but did his best looking annoyed face every time I looked at him in the rearview mirror.
So we got to Oliver’s studio and of course everyone loved meeting my kids. “They’re so CUUUTE!” everyone said. And they smiled shyly and all I could think about was the caca-storm it was all morning getting them dressed and into the car, and how annoyed we all were with each other, and how Little Man hates the shorts I gave him to wear but I haven’t gotten to do laundry and that’s all I had and WHAT. EVER. I am doing my best and it was just a week where my best was the WORST as far as my kids were concerned. Grumpy pants. Me. Them. Everyone grumpy, all the time.
I couldn’t see the cute right then. I mean I knew they are aesthetically lovely, both of them dark blond. Firstborn with my eyes exactly, blue and green with gold and brown flecks and long lashes. Little Man has blue blue sky blue eyes and lashes that taper longer at the ends. They have their father’s full, rosy cheeks, like a painting of a cherub. Their hair swoops to the side, they have warm smiles, and they look huggable for sure.
But all I could see was the crying and the grumpiness and the debacle of the morning.
I made myself be in an extra good mood for the fitting to balance out their crummy moods. (I think this is a sign of co-dependent behavior on my part but I will deal with that with my therapist after the Emmys.) We saw my dress on a mannequin and it was STUNNING. It took my breath away. Not so much for Little Man. Deadpan: “It needs to be red.” Everyone laughed, but I kind of glared at him and he glared back. Grrr.
I put on my SPANX, which is at least mildly amusing to my boys, and I tried on the dress. It fit like a glove, with a big full skirt. It’s gorgeous. Princess gorgeous. Or Queen, even!
Firstborn said, “It’s way too poofy. No. No.” Little Man said again, “I prefer red. Or gold. Gold would be AWESOME.” Their arms were folded. They already tore through the Looney Tunes comic book I brought for them and they shared the one square of chocolate I had for them. (The second piece went missing in the car and subsequently melted.) They were DONE.
I finished up as quickly as I could and put my t-shirt and cotton skirt and Converse sneakers back on. We waved goodbye and they even shook hands with everyone, and again everyone said, “They’re so CUUTE!” and I looked at them politely saying goodbye. I realized I could see it stronger now: They are cute. Even when they’re grumpy.
I’ve been too impatient and distracted to see it lately. They are trying to make sense of divorce and two houses to live in and a famous mama who is strict and super busy all the time. It’s a hard balancing act being a working mom, no matter your job. It’s hard balancing things without a nanny or housekeeper. But it’s all OK. And I thank whatever lessons the Universe gave me that helped me give up trying to be perfect years ago. Because I am so far from perfect I don’t even know if I’d recognize perfect if it sprung out of my VitaMix and announced itself to me.
My boys test me. And what that means to me is they need to know where I’m at. Sometimes I ignore it, like I did before the Emmy fitting. They had been sent out of the house (by angry mama) to just WAIT BY THE CAR FOR THE LOVE OF PETE. They banded together and joyfully conspired to throw acorns at me.
I ignored it, quietly happy to see that they could get out some aggression at me since it had been a rough morning. And it was done gently, because they are gentle. And they were laughing. And I just stormed off and opened the car for them and ignored them.
Next time, I will do what they are accustomed to me doing: I will gather all of those acorns up and raise a mama battle cry and chase them down, all of us laughing as I gently pelt them with acorns too.
Because I am that mama. I wasn’t that mama this day. I was Emmy mama late for a fitting, making everyone grumpy with my haste and lack of patience.
Someday I hope they understand how hard it is for me to be so many things for so many people. For today, Emmys are almost over and I am ready to be just their mama again.

FX Volatility Builds the Business Case for Treasury Software
In my experience as a treasury practitioner and consultant, I have repeatedly observed the difficulty of getting budget approval for purchasing a treasury management system (TMS). Treasury typically needs to demonstrate to the CFO how adopting a TMS will benefit the entire organization, but competing with other project requests can be quite the shark tank. However, addressing FX volatility may provide an opening for treasury.
In this blog, which is part of our Value Engineering series, we will address how FX volatility may be the key to getting treasury project approval.
Prioritizing FX Risk Management
Often, the treasury team identifies how a TMS will eliminate key pain points and calculates a healthy ROI. Yet treasury cannot obtain approval for the project. Often, your ability to function with imperfect data and brute force may work against you; the issues you are striving to address with a TMS is not readily visible to management.
In addition, rarely is treasury the only department looking for project approval. You are typically competing for capital against other departments with other issues. You therefore need to not only show a solid ROI, but also the beneficial impact to the company to prove why your project should be prioritized over others.
FX volatility is not just a treasury issue, it is a corporate issue. In building your business case, have you identified and addressed the issues with your current currency FX risk management process? What has been your FX forecast exposure? What has been the impact of currency volatility on net earnings? If you have material exposure to foreign currency volatility, was transforming FX risk management your first or second reason you articulated your need for a TMS? I suggest that it should be the reason you lead with in your business case to senior management. I will now discuss why this should be your strategy in getting your TMS project approved.
FX Volatility Surging
According to Kyriba’s January 2023 Currency Impact Report, North American corporates sustained a staggering $43.15 billion in negative impacts to earnings from currency volatility. The combined pool of North American and European corporations reported $17.04 billion in tailwinds and $47.18 billion in headwinds in the third quarter of 2022. Reducing those headwinds requires accurately identifying your exposures and executing the most cost-effective strategies to mitigate FX risk.
If your company has significant FX exposure it should be a part of your due diligence in selecting a TMS partner. A point solution in FX management will lack integration with your cash forecast and automation in cash accounting, hedge accounting and payment workflows, delivering less productivity and cost benefits as a TMS with an integrated FX risk management function.
When it comes to FX risk management, most companies struggle to get an accurate handle on their FX exposure. If you need to gather information from disparate systems and operations around the globe, it can result in incomplete, obsolete or erroneous data. As a result, FX hedging based on imperfect data yields imperfect, unexpected results. FX volatility and its impact on corporate earnings affects share price, shareholder return, borrowing cost and capital spending. Unexpected currency impacts on earnings can create the perception that the company is poorly managed.
Clearly this is a larger issue to the CFO and senior management, which is why you should make it the leading reason you are seeking a TMS.
The Value of Complete FX Exposure Data
Kyriba’s Enterprise Liquidity Management platform can automatically gather detailed exposure data from disparate systems. Many companies identify their exposures with 75% or less accuracy. Kyriba can improve this to 90% or more, resulting in a significant reduction in volatility. This can be tens of millions of dollars, depending on the size of your exposures and accuracy improvement.
To the right is a summary chart of the benefits that a public multinational company would receive after implementing Kyriba’s Enterprise Liquidity Platform, excluding and including the FX earnings-at-risk reduction. If you were the CFO of this company, which proposal would you be most excited about?
In addition, obtaining detailed exposure data down to the invoice level can identify additional natural hedge opportunities and internal offsetting exposures. The result is a reduction in the exposure. Less exposure in turn means less cost, especially as the increase in volatility in the markets has resulted in a sharp increase in FX currency derivatives.
Having the ability to model the company’s exposure with sophisticated tools such as Value at risk (VaR), you can determine the most cost-effective hedging strategy.
As with your other treasury processes, automation can yield substantial productivity savings in your FX risk management process. By reducing or eliminating manual and repetitive tasks that are necessary to gather information, your TMS should be able to generate a significant productivity gain.
Those savings come not just in the treasury department but from finance operations and other areas where data is provided manually. Automation should be end-to-end, from exposure identification, hedge approval, contract execution, contract confirmation, mark-to-market, settlement, and reporting. If your company seeks hedge accounting treatment, your accounting team likely spends a significant amount of time and effort in documenting and complying with the requirements of hedge accounting. If you have outsourced the hedge accounting process, you may be able to eliminate a significant vendor cost.
Benefits to the Entire Organization
If your company has significant exposure to currency volatility, your CFO should see the value in a TMS that digitizes and addresses problems in your FX risk management program. Those benefits, along with productivity gains in other functional areas, cost savings and improved liquidity management, elevate the project from one that helps treasury work better to one with sizable benefits across the entire organization.
When building the business case for TMS adoption, you should absolutely identify and present the other benefits. But leading with improved FX risk management can display and elevate the wide-ranging impact of the project. | <urn:uuid:cdd3ef69-66da-4836-a1ba-1d43820a3034> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.kyriba.com/jp/blog/fx-volatility-business-case-for-treasury-software/ | 2024-04-19T12:27:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.93837 | 1,205 |

“My wife and I selected La Citadelle after perusing their booth at one of the Our Kids private school expos and also attending two open days at the campus itself. We have been very impressed with the new location as well as the inclusive, community driven, safe and welcoming environment for a multi-faceted and wholesome bi-lingual education of our son.”
“La Citadelle is an extension of the home. It is a close-knit family of parents, students and staff who come together to provide a high standard of academics, social and emotional well-being for its children. We are happy to see both our children advancing toward bilingualism and couldn’t be happier with our choice of school”
“Our child has been attending LCA since JK and not only do we love this school but more importantly our child does. LCA provides our child with a holistic education that focuses on a bilingual curriculum within a warm and friendly family-oriented environment” | <urn:uuid:68244bb5-8f18-469a-a587-ed1c7cfcc31b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.lacitadelledaycare.com/ | 2024-04-19T11:05:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.95132 | 1,051 |
On Wednesday, Tamar Braxton premiered the first episode of her podcast, Under Construction.
The Braxton Family Values star kept things light on the episode, titled “The Bounceback,” discussing everything from her recent, emotional appearance on the Tamron Hall Show to her July hospitalization, while making additional claims about the show she’s been a part of since 2011.
“I created Braxton Family Values. I created that show and funded it, ok? Let me go there,” Tamar said. “I know everybody is like, ‘well, your sisters have to work and your sisters have to do this that and the other.’ Well yeah, I know this because I created it.”
Despite cancellation rumors at the top of the year, the WE tv reality series that follows Grammy-winning singer Toni Braxton, Tamar, their three sisters and their mother, Evelyn, premiered its seventh season earlier this month.
Due to Tamar’s severed relationship with the network, she said she decided to not be included as much in the series this season as she normally is.
“I’m not saying don’t go to work. I’m saying don’t include me,” she continued. “Normally, if its something you create [or] something your’re a part of, it kind of goes away when you go away. Not that I wanted that to happen. I just don’t want to participate. That’s really all I have to say about that because that’s behind me now.”
Tamar said she’s now moving forward and is solely focused on being a single mother to her son, Logan, and managing her mental health, which includes therapy and asking herself daily, “Am I ok?”
Braxton Family Values airs tonight at 9 p.m. ET on WE tv.

Most of us come into therapy seeking change. Maybe we hurt too much, feel lonely, depressed, anxious, or hate our job. Our relationship might be faltering or we're feeling overwhelmed by the family. What I've learned is that we come into therapy thinking that we have one story, or narrative, and that narrative is set and fixed. I believe we've forgotten that we have a multitude of stories, or alternative narratives. Those alternative narratives can be discovered and shed light on new options and possibilities, while expanding our understanding of what we once believed was unalterable.
What we can do together is discover your preferred narrative, find your intentions, set goals, and explore the barriers to achieving those goals. I believe in a nurturing, strength-based, and collaborative therapeutic environment that is based not as much on my expertise as it is on yours.
My Masters degree in Clinical Psychology includes a specialization in LGBT affirmative psychotherapy. Also, I'm trained in Attachment Focused EMDR (EMDRIA Certified) and Trauma Resiliency Model which focuses on PTSD, long-term exposure to physical and sexual abuse, and drug and alcohol dependency.

Permanent lace exhibition in Cogne
1665: the rustle of skirts, hurried whispers. A group of Benedictine nuns are fleeing from France and, crossing the Alps, reach the Aosta Valley, bringing with them an ancient and fascinating skill: the ancient art of bobbin lace making.
Did you know that…
This story is truly incredible if you think that linen lace making, learnt from those French nuns, has been passed on by memory in Cogne without the help of drawings.
Such a transient skill that it could have been mislaid through the centuries but lives on thanks to the cooperative Les Dentellières de Cogne, whose members meet regularly to teach town girls this skill. A permanent exhibition has been set up at Maison di Pitz in Cogne, where you can watch this hypnotising lace making art (dentèlles) and admire their finished products.

COGNE LACE IS MADE
The floor to the artisans
An art that’s
Besides being a subtle game of deftness, it’s also a trial of patience: fingers move rapidly, crossing bobbins – and delicate lace slowly materialises on the bobbin cushion (coessein), creating a pattern inspired by surrounding nature. And there you are, birds, flowers and even butterflies appear…
A cheerful touch of brightness on a sombre dress: the lace was originally used to embellish traditional dresses but today it has found new life in complex doilies, elegant tablecloths and immaculate curtains.
These items are so astonishing and complex that they have won prizes at the Valdostan traditional handicraft exhibition-contest on several occasions. | <urn:uuid:dda8d47c-2cb0-474e-b427-89c005259084> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.lasaintours.it/en/dentelles-de-cogne/ | 2024-04-19T12:37:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.914712 | 387 |

Jewish groups decry Obama award pick
Jewish congressional members and lobbying groups are protesting President Obama’s decision to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to former Irish leader Mary Robinson, who they say has a long record of harshly criticizing Israel.
The award announcement prompted the first criticism of Obama by the powerful American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a group he courted during last year’s campaign. Jewish groups in the U.S. have been largely supportive of the president. But the Robinson award is the latest in a series of recent disagreements with Obama, and some Jewish leaders are growing skeptical of his commitment to Israel.
Last month, Obama hosted Jewish leaders at a White House meeting designed to soothe tensions over his differences with Israel over the future of Jewish settlements in the West Bank and lingering concern over the tenor of his outreach to the Muslim world.
By Thursday, several members of Congress -- including two Jewish Democrats -- had rebuked the decision to bestow the country’s highest civilian honor on Robinson during a White House ceremony planned for Wednesday.
Among their concerns was her role as the United Nations’ high commissioner on human rights in the 2001 World Conference Against Racism in Durban, South Africa. The U.S. and Israel pulled out of the conference over objections to a document it produced accusing Israel of racism in its treatment of the Palestinians.
Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and a member of the Jewish caucus to the conference, said Thursday that Robinson “allowed the event to be hijacked by extremists who had no interest in peace.”
The episode, Cooper said, “degraded” the global human rights effort, setting the stage for the second racism conference, held this spring, in which a keynote speaker was Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a fierce enemy of Israel who has questioned whether the Holocaust occurred.
Robinson “simply did not have the guts . . . to step into the fray and say it can’t be this way,” Cooper said. “She’s a nice woman and a good person, but the fact that you mean well isn’t a prerequisite to get our nation’s highest honor.”
Robinson, Ireland’s president from 1990 to 1997, told Irish reporters this week that the accusations had no merit and blamed the controversy on “a lot of bullying by certain elements of the Jewish community.”
“They bully people who try to address the severe situation in Gaza and the West Bank,” she told a radio network, according to an account in the Belfast Telegraph.
Rep. Shelley Berkley (D- Nev.) said Thursday that the “biased views expressed by Mary Robinson against the nation of Israel remain deeply troubling, and her tarnished record of actions on this issue cannot be erased with the awarding of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.”
Berkley blamed Robinson for the “highly charged anti-Jewish attacks against Israel and its supporters” at the 2001 conference and said her actions “deserve to be condemned.”
Another Jewish Democrat, Rep. Eliot L. Engel of New York, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Robinson was a “screw-up” and a “mistake.”
A White House spokesman, Tommy Vietor, on Thursday stood by the president’s decision, calling Robinson a key figure in history. “Mary Robinson was the first female president of Ireland, whom we are honoring as a prominent crusader for women’s rights in Ireland and around the world,” Vietor said. “She has dedicated her career to human rights and working to improve an imperfect world.
“As with any public figure, we don’t necessarily agree with every statement she has ever made,” Vietor said, “but it’s clear that she has been an agent of change and a fighter for good.”
Still, the controversy looked to be growing.
The World Jewish Congress on Thursday accused Robinson of an “endorsement of Palestinian violence as legitimate political activity, and the outrageous equating of the Holocaust to the suffering of the Palestinians,” adding that Robinson’s record “renders her unqualified to receive the nation’s highest civilian honor.”
The criticism from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, which called on Obama to “firmly, fully and publicly repudiate [Robinson’s] views on Israel,” was especially problematic for the president.
As a candidate, he delivered well-received speeches to the group as he presented himself as a staunch supporter of Israel. AIPAC’s incoming president, Lee Rosenberg, is a Chicago friend of Obama’s and was a key fundraiser during the campaign.
Defenders of Robinson point to a 2003 op-ed she wrote in the New York Times deploring the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe, and they note that during the 2001 racism conference she waved a booklet of anti-Semitic cartoons and declared, “I am a Jew.”
But critics point to a 2002 report compiled by the late Rep. Tom Lantos of California, a Holocaust survivor and delegate to the Durban conference, who said that Robinson’s conduct “left our delegation deeply shocked and saddened” by her remarks about Israel.

How to Master Braking Technique on a Dirt Bike
Jun 19, 2022In this video, you guys are gonna learn how to use your brakes properly.
What's up guys, Tyler here, we're at the MX factory and we're gonna teach you guys how to use your brakes in three steps. One is gonna be just what the knowhow of what's going on with these things. Where do I use this one? When do I use this one and how much the second step's gonna be your body position in the meat of the breaking.
Your third is going to be your setup. When do it off the brakes and get ready for the turn.
Step one. What do these things even do? How many are. There's actually three breaks. A lot of people don't know that you have your front brake, which can create a lot of power, your rear brake, which acts as stabilizing. And then you're shifting down without the clutch in will also engine brake and give you more slowing power, which is a really, really good thing that a lot of people don't know how to use.
So pay attention to this video and will help you out when you're just getting started into this stuff. Think. Leaving the front break alone. For the most part, focus on your rear break. We go 70% rear, 30% front on our new lessons that come through the MX factory doors and then progressing from there. The ratio is coming up to even so 50, 50, you know, equal amount of pressure up front to back.
And then you start playing with your dirt types. If you're in sand, there's a little more back, a little less front, you don't want the front end to die. If you're on tacky dirt, you can really get on the front. So sometimes it's up to 70% on the front and 30% on the rear. It's really trial and error in step two.
You're gonna see the meat of it, and you're gonna really understand what it's supposed to mean. Step two, the meat and potatoes. Or the salad and the vegan ice cream, whatever way you flow. So we're gonna start from the ground up here. It's important that your squeeze tight to the bike the whole time ankles all the way up to your.
And then also that you're moving your foot from the front to the back. When you're going to the brake, especially the back brake, it doesn't need to come out like this. You lose all your, your squeezing power when you do that. So moving up from there, you wanna stack your hips over the pegs, and then as you're breaking the big thing in breaking that most people don't get.
It's balancing with the amount of break that you're applying balancing back. That is. So if you're heavy on the brakes, you've gotta move your weight way to the back and lower over the. The less breaks you give the less that you have to be back there. So just as we talked about, when we're powering that way, powering forward, you've gotta do the exact same thing under breaking.
Okay. The more front break is usually gonna bring you wanting to pull over the front and the back break is gonna plant the bike and get it to connect to the ground. So it's Aly supportive. The big thing is, is testing. How much breaks am I? Where's my butt. If my butt's way back here and I'm not giving it any breaks, it's gonna feel real awkward.
But if I'm here and I'm on the binders, it's gonna feel nice and balanced. And then if, if you're not, you wanna be more towards the middle of the bike, feeling smooth, squeezing the bike, having a lot of fun to add on top of all that, a good drill to do, which really helps we do this a ton here is setting two cones up.
You did it.
Congratulations, hitting the gas at the first cone, powering through that. And one, your front tire hits the second cone immediately. Snapping back into position and hitting your breaks at the same time and just conditioning the feeling of being balanced on the bike in this drill. Just make sure that you're not using the clutch.
We touched on that on step one. This is a big key component learning how to use all three breaks at once. And not just to, if you want to go a little more advanced with it, my advanced feathers, we do it one handed. And what that does is takes away all your upper body strength, which you don't need a lot.
If you do this right. And your balance, and it gets you all in your technique. So if you hit the brakes hard and you're in the wrong spot, you're going forward and the bike's staying back, but if you're in the right spot, it feels extremely balanced and really easy. And it's really cool. Step three is gonna be your setup and your timing of when to do so.
What we teach here is red zone, yellow zone green zone. What that means is red zone is when you're breaking, you're moved back on the seat. Your. Yellow zone is when you set up. So when you go from that to seated leg out and ready to go through the turn and green is when you're back on the gas. What's important here is to know when to do all of that.

The Democratic debates this week offered a new episode in the race for the nomination. If the first round of debates was marked by camaraderie and cautious avoidance of open confrontations, this time, and particularly on Wednesday, we saw candidates increasingly attacking each other.
Whereas on Tuesday, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren formed a sort of “progressive united front,” taking hits and defending themselves and each other from the attacks of their more conservative opponents, on Wednesday, Joe Biden was the preferred target of everyone on stage. He was repeatedly called out for his sexism and racism, remnants of his past record that are becoming an unbearable weight for the 76-year-old. What appeared to be his main asset—his role as President Obama’s VP—is also his main liability. When Bill de Blasio cornered him, asking whether he had opposed Obama’s deportations, he went on a tangent and failed to respond. Cory Booker took up the opportunity and fired: “Mr. Vice President, you can’t have it both ways. You invoke President Obama more than anybody in this campaign. You can’t do it when it’s convenient and then dodge it when it’s not.”
The fact is, the times are changing fast in the United States, and the status quo—from the health care debacle to the country’s massive student debt to the criminal justice crisis—is untenable for most Americans. Trump’s election should have been enough proof of this, but Biden and the establishment Democrats are taking longer to get used to this new reality.
Yet, Booker and De Blasio also had their moment of reckoning. Biden himself accused Booker of hiring a “Rudy Giuliani guy” and ramping up stop-and-frisk when he was mayor of Newark. And Julian Castro, in turn, called out De Blasio for having failed to fire NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo, who five years ago murdered Eric Garner using an illegal chokehold.
The cross fire did not end there. Tulsi Gabbard took aim at Kamala Harris, exposing her record as California prosecutor—not a “reformer,” as she tries to portray herself, but as a tough-on-crime conservative, increasing penalties and the persecution of black and brown communities.
“There are too many examples to cite,” said Gabbard, “but she put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana. She blocked evidence that would have freed an innocent man from death row until the courts forced her to do so. She kept people in prison beyond their sentences to use them as cheap labor for the state of California.”

If anything, this was the beauty of the debate: All the credible candidates have right-wing track records, so when they criticized Biden from the left, they exposed a weak flank for their opponents to attack. Biden may have served as a punching bag for all the candidates, but almost no one left the staged unscathed.
Health Care at the Center of the Debate
Given the abysmal state of U.S. health care, it is no wonder that it took center stage in both the Democratic debates so far. Three of the candidates propose a credible fix, which includes expanding Medicare to all citizens (some would allegedly extend it to undocumented immigrants) and eliminating private insurance plans: These are Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and De Blasio. All the rest, who claim to support Medicare for all but want to keep private insurance companies, are merely latching on to a brand that attracts votes while emptying it of its real meaning. Although Biden, Harris, Castro and others strive to emphasize that, under their programs, everyone would have the chance to choose a “public option,” the truth is that keeping the insurance sector defeats the purpose of Medicare for all. The key for such a plan to succeed is, precisely, that everyone—not only those who don’t have an employer-provided health care plan—be included in the same health care system. This would guarantee a certain level of coverage and quality. Keeping the private insurance sector alive leaves the door open for dramatic inequalities in health care access: The public option will be severely underfunded, and the insurance sector will lobby for subsidies and tax breaks, offering much better service to those who can afford it and who, in addition, tend to be healthier.
On this question, as with others, Democrats overall have shifted to more progressive positions. Except for Biden—and maybe some other Republican-lite Democrat like Steve Bullock—all the candidates recognize the urgency of fixing the U.S. health care system. But tellingly, most candidates choose a middle-of-the-road approach.
The loudest applause both days of the debate, however, came when candidates said they favored Medicare for all and denounced the parasitic character of insurance companies. The writing is on the wall: The vast majority of people in this country want Medicare for all, and they want the insurance companies out. But centrist Democrats want it both ways: They want both the votes for supporting Medicare for all and the bucks from the health insurance companies for proposing to keep them.
Legitimacy and Class Interests
On practically all issues discussed in the debates, there is a position—sometimes voiced by a candidate—that reflects working-class interests. All other proposals represent the interests of capital, some more bluntly, some with a relatively “progressive” veneer. On health care, for example, Medicare for all represents in a distorted way the need for a universal health care system. Having guaranteed access to health care would no doubt strengthen the working class, allow workers to organize more freely at their workplaces and fight their bosses with their main weapon, the strike, without the fear of losing their health insurance if they were fired. But a more comprehensive working-class program for health care would go much further: It would nationalize the whole health care system under the management of workers and patients, nationalize the pharmaceutical industry and eliminate all profits reaped at the expense of people’s disease. Furthermore, it would take into account the social determinants of health, eliminating food deserts, banning harmful working conditions and so on. In sum, to achieve the best health possible as human beings, we need to transform society so that profits are no longer its driving force.
On other topics, Democratic candidates are even further away from a working-class program: On border and immigration, no matter how progressive, all candidates agree on “strong border security.” As James Hoff explains, working-class interests can be represented only in the demand for open borders, which none of the candidates is putting forward. Similarly, foreign policy is expressed only in nationalistic terms. Whether it is about beating China in the race for technological supremacy, about trade agreements or the U.S. relations with the UN, the terms of the conversation are always from the perspective of what’s best for the United States, without ever mentioning its imperialist character. Notably, U.S. financial and military support for Israel goes unquestioned. The bottom line is that, with a more or less progressive outlook, these are all positions that represent the interests of capital.
The Democratic Party is in flux. Trump’s victory in 2016 shook the foundations of the party and forced many to grapple with the need of abandoning openly neoliberal policies in favor of more progressive ones. The generational change and the disillusionment of millions in the politics of establishment Democrats are pushing the agenda to the left. But the natural tendency for Democratic politicians is to gravitate toward the center. As a result, candidates are pulled in two directions: Big donors pressure them to maintain a conservative approach, while the crisis of legitimacy pushes them to incorporate elements of a progressive agenda. One after another, most have embraced Medicare for all (at least in name), some version of tuition-free college and some cosmetic version of criminal justice reform. Warren is the most radical example of this trend: Forced by a profound dip in the polls after the “Native American” misstep, she adopted most of Sanders’ program and even outflanked him on reparations for descendants of slavery.
But the Democratic Party continues to represent the interests of capital. The fact that its candidates are forced to take up some working-class issues like universal health care or tuition-free college shows that U.S. politics is undergoing a major shift. The rising popularity of “socialism” as a vague idea but, concurrently, a bold challenge to capitalism, shapes the political conversation. The Democrats are intent on harnessing that mighty social force to tame it, use it and pillory it. The viability of today’s renewed socialist movement hinges on, precisely, its capacity to break free from the Democratic Party. | <urn:uuid:cea0c378-2aa3-4763-b6c9-0157faa2dc38> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.leftvoice.org/class-politics-and-the-democratic-debate/ | 2024-04-19T12:55:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.961817 | 1,840 |
Maine became the latest state to ban pick’em games offered by fantasy sports companies, leading to Underdog at least temporarily pulling back the prop-style markets.
Last week, the Maine Gambling Control Unit issued a fine of $391,850 dollars to Underdog for offering illegal daily fantasy games, MGCU Executive Director Milton Champion told LSR on Tuesday. Underdog has 30 days to appeal but was instructed to immediately cease offering pick‘em contests in the state, according to Champion.
An Underdog spokesperson told LSR the company stopped offering pick’em products in Maine following Champion’s decision. Underdog’s move is a notable departure from other states where regulators instructed the company to stop offering pick’em.
Illegal Maine DFS offerings
According to the final written decision obtained by LSR, the MGCU first became aware of the pick‘em offerings May 26. The agency filed a complaint July 11 investigating the legality of the products, which allows customers to compete against the house.
Underdog replied September 11 that the pick‘em products are “flexible fantasy contests” that allow “customers to select their own scoring parameters rather than being locked into an operator’s grid of fantasy points.”
Champion’s choices explained
In the written decision, the Champion wrote fantasy providers:
“provide that a winning outcome may not be based on the score, point spread or performance of a single actual sports team … or solely on a single performance of an individual athlete.”
He also ruled that:
“contests must involve more than one contestant and wagers cannot be made against the operator.”
Underdog pick’em wagers placed in Maine
Maine regulators followed with a request for the number of wagers placed in pick‘em products. By October 15, it was determined Underdog accepted at least 482,771 wagers from 7,837 individuals in Maine.
At least 4,781 of the participants had at least one winning wager and the action generated net revenue of $1.4 million for Underdog since January 2021. Maine statutes allow a fine of up to $1,000 per violation. Champion chose a compromise of $50 for each of the 7,837 pick ‘em participants.
“This is the first of its kind and is setting a precedent,” Champion told LSR. “It sets the tone going forward, but any other violations will be looked at separately.”
Underdog response to Maine ban
Underdog said it complied with all requests during the MGCU investigation.
“This is just an initial step in the administrative process, and we now have the opportunity to be heard by the state in the coming weeks and look forward to receiving a final decision that ultimately agrees with our interpretation of Maine law,” an Underdog spokesperson said Tuesday.
Pick’em remains hot industry topic
Since Maine’s investigation into Underdog emerged in July, the DFS industry has been under growing regulatory scrutiny. Prior to Maine’s ruling last week, the first set of North Carolina sports betting rules included a pick’em ban.
Numerous other states reached similar decisions earlier in 2023:
- A pick’em ban in Michigan took effect, while New York also implemented a similar rule.
- Florida regulators issued a cease and desist to Underdog, Betr and PrizePicks in September.
- Wyoming sent a similar order in July.
- Underdog launched an adjusted Colorado pick’em product in August based solely on fantasy points following regulator feedback.
Maine sports betting coming
While no firm launch date has been selected, Champion said Maine sports betting will go live in November. The debut will cap a process that began in May 2022, when Gov. Janet Mills signed sports betting into law.
“We’re excited. We’re raring to go,” Champion said. “The day after we go live, I’m going to Disneyland. There comes a time when you just need to roll it out, let the wrinkles come and then iron it out. We didn’t reinvent the wheel or come up with anything new.” | <urn:uuid:fc5b9aaf-dd67-4bc9-a896-f631c11bf981> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.legalsportsreport.com/145687/maine-underdog-ban-fine-pickem-games/ | 2024-04-19T13:20:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.957444 | 894 |
Gratuity is a monetary benefit or perquisite awarded by an employer to his/her employee for the services rendered by them over a period of time. It is a lump sum payment made generally at the time of retirement of an employee. In India payment of gratuity is mandated under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Act is a social security legislation adopted by the government to secure financial stability of employees and their dependants post retirement. The Act has witnessed numerous amendments the latest being in March, 2018.
This Blog is bifurcated under various headings for the convenient and thorough understanding of the concept of gratuity.
Is the Act Applicable to You?
Gratuity under the Act shall be payable by every factory, mine, oilfield, plantation, port, shop or establishment which employ 10 or more persons. The word “establishments” covers all establishments that are covered under the Shops and Establishments Act of each state.
Which Employees are eligible for Payment of Gratuity?
Only those employees who have rendered continuous service for a period of not less than five (05) years shall be eligible to receive gratuity from their employers, at the time of termination of employment by reason of resignation or retirement.
Note: If the services of an employee are terminated before the period of 5 years on account of either death or disability then, in such cases the rule of continuous service shall not apply and the amount of gratuity shall be paid irrespective of whether five years have been completed.
The concept of “Continuous Service”
Gratuity is payable only to employees who have been in continuous service for a period not less than five (05) years. While calculating continuous service the days on which the employee did not attend work on account of accident, sickness, leave, Lay-off, Lockout, strike or cessation of work, not due to the fault of the employee shall be considered. This simply means that all of the days mentioned above shall be considered/added while calculating continuous service.
In case of women, the period of continuous service should also include the Maternity leave afforded to them. The Payment of Gratuity Act has amended its provisions in consonance with the Maternity Benefit Amendment Act (2017) which enhanced maternity leave from 12 weeks to 26 weeks. https://www.legawise.com/giving-maternity-leave-and-benefits Therefore, while calculating the period of continuous service of a female employee who has availed maternity leave, the 26 weeks leave period shall be considered or added to the continuous service period.
When and how is the gratuity payment made?
Every employee who has rendered his service for a continuous period of not less than five (05) years shall be eligible to receive gratuity upon termination of his/her employment, irrespective of whether such termination is on account of superannuation, retirement, resignation or death or disablement due to accident or disease.
Incase of death of an employee the amount of gratuity payable to the employee shall be paid to his nominee. If the employee has not nominated any person then the gratuity shall be payable to his/her legal heirs.
The employer must arrange for the amount to be paid as gratuity within 30 days from the date on which it becomes payable, failure to comply with this condition within the stipulated time frame would warrant payment of simple interest on it from the date on which the gratuity becomes payable.
Maximum Amount of gratuity payable
The Act stipulates an upper ceiling on the payment of gratuity. The maximum gratuity payable under the Act is Rs. 20,00,000. This amount has been enhanced via the Payment of Gratuity (Amendment) Act, 2018. The earlier ceiling of gratuity payable was Rs. 10,00,000. These changes were effected, owing to the inflation and wage increase of employees engaged in the private sector.
Note: This provision does not in any manner stop the employer from awarding a higher amount of gratuity to his employees.
Forfeiture of gratuity
The employee shall have to forfeit his gratuity upto the extent of the damage or loss caused if his/her employment has been terminated for any act, willful omission or negligence which has resulted in damage or loss to or destruction of property belonging to the employer. An employee may have to partially or wholly forfeit the gratuity payable to him/her if the employees services are terminated for his riotous or disorderly conduct or any other act of violence on his/her part or any act in the course of his/her employment which constitutes an offence involving moral turpitude.
Formula for Calculation of gratuity
The formula to calculate gratuity is well established under the Act.
Gratuity = Last Drawn Salary x 15/26 x number of years of service.
Example 1: If Rashi has worked in an establishment for 25 years and her Last Drawn Salary is Rs. 1,50,000/- per month.
Gratuity payable to Rashi = 1,50,000 x 15/26 x 25
Note: Even though the amount of the gratuity is more than 20 lakhs, Rashi shall be eligible to receive only Rs. 20,00,000/- which is the maximum amount stipulated under the Act.
Example 2: If Ruchi has worked in an establishment for 6 years and her Last Drawn Salary is Rs. 50,000/- per month.
Gratuity payable to Ruchi = 50,000 x 15/26 x 6
Note: Even though the stipulated ceiling of Gratuity payable under the Act is Rs. 20,00,000/- Ruchi shall be eligible only to Rs. 1,73,076/-.
Note: Last Drawn Salary = Basic Salary+Dearness allowance
Since Gratuity is provided as social security to employees it is exempted from their taxable income under Sec. 10(10) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. But this exemption is also limited to a maximum of Rs. 20,00,000/- if the amount of Gratuity exceeds the ceiling of Rs. 20,00,000/- it shall be taxable.
For e.g: If Rachel’s boss gives her a gratuity of Rs. 22,00,000/- than only Rs. 20,00,000 shall be exempted from income tax, while the remainder of Rs. 2,00,000/- shall be taxable income.
Consequences of Non-Compliance with the Gratuity Law
Failure to comply with any of the provisions of the Act would warrant imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year (01) and penalty which may extend to Rs. 20,000/- or both. | <urn:uuid:bc1d35d5-d83b-4ab0-8312-92ba1bc246e8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.legawise.com/gratuity-payments-a-complete-guide | 2024-04-19T13:29:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.955046 | 1,388 |

5 Questions to Ask Ourselves Before Coaching
Being ready in every coaching session that we have is mandatory. After all, that’s part of our commitment to our practice and our clients, right? We owe it to our clients. And to ourselves too. So how do you know if you are ready to engage in yet another life-changing session with your client?
Here are five questions to reflect on before you begin your session:
1) Am I 100% present now?
Assess the space you’re in. Are you free from distractions? Is your mind (and heart) not wandering around? Are you truly ready to listen and understand? Focus is key so that you get to navigate fully with your client in harmony as you ask powerful questions that will bring them from where they are at present to where they want to be. It’s either you’re all in or not; there’s no in between.
2) What are my intentions for coaching today?
For each session, come from a space of honesty and ask yourself, what intentions are you bringing? What do you want to achieve? Are you there for the right reasons? Please take note that at the end of the day, the coaching session is not about you, so your intentions must be aligned with whatever would be beneficial for your clients.
3) What biases must I set aside?
Never judge. Come into every session with an open mind and heart. Leave your prejudice behind. While you may be familiar with your clients, never assume that you know better than them by tweaking the session to fit your own assumptions. Remember, every time you let your biases get in the way, you prevent the session from flowing freely and your client from growing fully.
4) What can I learn from today’s session?
Every session that you have with your client allows you to grow personally and professionally as a coach. You just have to be open (and very excited) to learning along the way. Anticipate new enlightening and empowering experiences ahead and know that whatever lies ahead is in line with what you need at the present, too.
Allow yourself to grow in harmony with your client by mentally noting all the things that their journey is teaching you. Doing so presents a very beautiful opportunity during your own decompression session after coaching as you embrace the valuable lessons you have learned along the way.
5) What can add value to my coaching session today?
Going the extra mile for your clients must be second nature to you. Have you remembered something they needed help with? Have you stumbled upon something that will be of value to them?
At the end of the day, it’s not just about giving them new information, new practice methodology, new tool kits or whatever they were seeking during previous sessions. Going the extra mile can mean extending your time a bit during a session, giving consideration for a pending request from a client, or whatever little gesture that your client can appreciate. Remember, not everyone has a smooth journey towards becoming one’s own #bestmeever, so a little act of kindness (or going the extra mile) can go a long way.
I hope these questions help you reflect and re calibrate as you coach. Remember to give your clients your 100% best. When feeling lost and confused along the way and you feel the need to brush up on your coaching skills, feel free to visit ICF’s Core Competence and Code of Ethics. Those can help you fully become the coach you’re meant to be for the clients you are meant to serve. And before you coach, ask yourself these questions. | <urn:uuid:1eda16d8-34da-4ff8-96b6-f4cb874aa0d5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.lifecoachingacademy.edu.au/5-questions-to-ask-ourselves-before-coaching/ | 2024-04-19T13:08:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.961073 | 750 |

14.3.2. Saving Traceback Messages Without a Diskette Drive
If you receive a traceback error message during installation, you can usually save it to a diskette.
If you do not have a diskette drive available in your system, you can scp
the error message to a remote system.

About Pontefract Cakes
The town of Pontefract was making liquorice as early as 1614. A hand-held ‘stamp’ was used to authenticate each piece of liquorice using an image of Pontefract Castle.
The fields that grew the liquorice plants that supplied the factories with roots had been growing for several hundred years on grounds that once belonged to Pontefract Castle. They were originally grown by the local Monks who recognised the medicinal benefits and they ended up receiving a Royal Decree protecting their rights to a monopoly on liquorice root production in England.
By 1760, the Dunhill family was doing well with its liquorice-growing business. George Dunhill had a brilliant idea and he mixed sugar with the liquorice-root extract and created a chewable sweet.
People loved it and it became known as the Pontefract. Dunhill called them Pomfret Cakes, the original Norman name for Pontefract. They were also widely known as Yorkshire Pennies.
In the early days of the 20th century, the town of Pontefract (In Yorkshire ) had 13 liquorice factories that made and exported this candy all over the world. Whilst only a few factories now exist, they still host a liquorice festival.
Until the 1960’s all Pontefract Cakes were stamped by hand with the trademark image of Pontefract Castle using a tool called a thumper. The workers that did this were known as thumpers. Workers pulled a lump of liquorice and kneed and roll it until it was soft and pliable before pulling off small pieces, flattening them into coin shapes and thumping them. A good thumper could stamp 20,000 Pontefract Cakes per day!
Unfortunately today, the liquorice fields have been abandoned. The last liquorice harvest in Pontefract took place in 1966 by commercial grower James Shay.
Thanks to the efforts of two confectionery companies Haribo (Formerly Dunhill) and Taveners (Formerly Wilkinsons of Pontefract) Pontefract liquorice is being made again. The raw liquorice is now imported from Spain, Italy and Turkey.
Taveners was established in 1904 by William Henry Tavener. Taveners are famous for iconic and traditional sweets such as Liquorice Allsorts, Coconut Mushrooms, Wine Gums and Jelly Babies. They have factories in the sweet manufacturing capital of the UK (Pontefract) and through acquisition, make one of the earliest surviving Pontefract cakes after taking ownership of Wilkinsons of Pontefract. They form part of a larger group of companies that includes Barratt (Which at one point was owned by Bassett’s!)
Treacle, glucose syrup, maize starch, invert sugar syrup, WHEAT flour (WHEAT flour, calcium carbonate, iron, niacin, thiamin), liquorice extract, modified potato starch, vegetable oils (palm, sunflower, coconut), flavouring, glazing agent (carnauba wax).

Fortunately, there are some “smart” tools that can help you easily resize images without the pixelation problems you encounter when you try to resize your image with a “dumb” image editing tool.
Make A Picture Bigger Without Losing Quality
All you do is enter your photo. The tools then use fancy algorithms to generate an enlarged version that looks surprisingly natural.
How To Enlarge A Picture Without Losing Quality In Microsoft Word
In this post, I’ve tested six of the best photo zoom tools and will share the tools and test results with you.
To maintain consistency during testing, I used the following two images when running each image zoom tool. The purpose is to show results from a detailed image and to demonstrate that the quality often ends up being better if you start with a larger file.
We also ran two tests for each image: 2x original size and 8x original size. Click on one of the test images to view the full size image.
Upscalepics offers several high-end free photo items along with affordable pricing plans. This online resizer requires no software download, but it proves to be one of the most effective tools for increasing image size.
How To Upscale Images From Stable Diffusion
The actual image file size has increased by a significant amount compared to other tools. Our first image (larger) shows excellent detail when enlarged to a larger file. The second image (smaller original file) looks fine when scaled down in this blog post, but the actual full size has noticeable distortion (click image to open in new tab).
On1 Resize is a premium desktop program with a multitude of features for scaling an image, creating printable graphics, and simulating how the image will actually look when printed.
Of course, the file size grew with all the tests. It didn’t get too big because each expansion is tied to its own dimensions. The first test image 1 is of higher quality but with a softer appearance. Interestingly, the second (larger) transformation of image 1 appeared more pronounced. It’s a big transformation.
Image 2 (original smaller file) has similar results. The first test (2x size) gave a softer image, with the larger file (8x size) coming out slightly better. It’s not as clean as test image 1, but it’s not bad. The results of image 2 clearly have distortions such as blur.
Make Your Photo Bigger Without Losing Quality By Elgrandepatka
ImageEnlarger.com has the simplest interface. Some may like this, but others will notice that it looks like something from another era.
However, you cannot exceed the process guidelines. You can upload an image, choose the format and then select the required dimensions.
Both tests of Image 1 turned out to be much better than I expected. I would argue that the resolution of any enlarged image is of a higher quality than any other tool on this list – at least without the need for editing features.
The 2 photo tests were another story. All have noticeable blurring and slight color changes as the images get larger. ImageEnlarger.com seems to provide a fast, high-quality, enlarged image as long as the original file is not too small.
Video Resizer: One Click Video Resize Online
There’s also a maximum width limit, which is problematic if you’re trying to enlarge images without losing quality.
Befunky is an online photo editor with powerful options for resizing, retouching and adding effects. However, it also offers unique features for adding creative textures and turning ordinary photos into a work of art, such as when you want to turn one of your photos into a painting or drawing.
To resize images, Bufunky provides a fast and free resizer to increase the width, height and overall size of your images by a percentage. You’ll find hundreds of image editing features, but you’ll need to go to Edit → Resize if you want to enlarge the image.
The Befunky Plus plan starts at $4.99 per month for an annual plan and $9.99 per month when billed monthly. This unlocks features like a one-click AI photo enhancer, smarter editing tools, background remover, collage editor and many more filters, effects and productivity options.
How To Resize An Image In Photoshop
Zooming in at 1x and 2x produces solid results, with a slight blurring around the edges that’s only noticeable when inspected while zooming. Larger increments are allowed, and you can go even further if you don’t lock the aspect ratio or use smaller images. In any case, the maximum 6.8x magnification in Image 1 showed similar results to our previous test: we lose marginal quality from the original, but the 6.8x magnification looks quite similar to editing at 2x.
Photo 2 was a different story, with 2x magnification showing a decent amount of blur and 8x magnification looking ridiculous. I will note that you can scale smaller images to larger ratios in Befunky (I managed to get 8x with image 2). Not to mention that file sizes remain manageable.
The test showed clear strengths and weaknesses. You can’t start with a small image and expect high quality results when you scale it up with Befunky. You shouldn’t expect decent print accuracy either. However, we found it to be one of the best options for quickly uploading a fairly large image and getting a larger version that looks great on digital devices. You will have no problem using the results of image 1 on a website or blog. It’s also a big plus that Befunky is free and easy to use. There is also a sharpening tool that can help after resizing.
Reshade is a free desktop program designed primarily to resize images and enhance those images in the process. I love that it’s an easy program without the high price tag. Not to mention you can upload images in bulk.
How Do I Resize A Gif In Photoshop Without Losing Quality?
Reshade has done an incredible job of keeping file sizes down while maintaining the quality of what we would expect from a digital photo.
Reshade appears to include a vector adjustment strategy that allows you to add cartoon-like elements to large images to fill out the data. Your photos will continue to look sharp and colorful as long as you don’t overdo it. They really look like paintings when done right.
Image 2’s tests are slightly cloudier, but still superior compared to other tools we’ve tested. I’m sure I could have improved the results with the simple post-processing tools available.
GIMP is an open source alternative to Photoshop. It is a popular image processing software that you download to your desktop. The best part about GIMP is that it has a solid following to explore the features and there is no limit to what you can do with the program. It’s much more than just enlarging an image.
Free Image Resizer Tools To Resize Photos Online
I found that selecting “None” for the quality interpolation gave the best results. However, it depends on the size of the image, so feel free to adjust it if you resize it.
The sizes of the resulting files were not related to dimensions, which I don’t understand. It makes me think there is an inconsistency with the resizing. For example, a 2400 x 1600 pixel file is 167 KB, while a 600 x 400 pixel file is 249 KB. I guess that will come back.
Anyway, both tests for Picture 1 were great. Details remain, with subtle color changes and nice depth.
GIMP really struggled with Image 2. I couldn’t get it to work, which leads me to believe that you need a slightly larger original image for GIMP to serve as a viable solution to scaling images without losing the quality.

I suggest you try them all and maybe have one or two on your computer. The reason for this is that all images change differently. Some tools work better with graphics or vector-style graphics. Others did great for detailed landscape images, but not for vector or shape-based graphics (such as logos).
Once you’ve resized your image, you’ll need to optimize it so that the larger image doesn’t slow down your site. To help you do this, check out some of these guides:

It might have been scaled down, but this was the most appreciated edition of Visions yet
Hands thrown in the air, heads back, eyes closed. Sweating, swaying, moving. The familiar but long-forgotten sensation of tacky beer on the soles of your shoes. Empty cups rolling. Nostalgic ’80s synth melodies rise and fall, the kick drum providing a hypnotic anchor. A fierce energy in the eyes of Porridge Radio’s lead singer and songwriter Dana Margolin, her voice still rasping from the last song’s desperate chorus.
So is the headline set of the 2021 Visions festival. For many, this is the first live music event they’ve been able to attend in 18 months. The air is thick with anticipated excitement. Throwing all caution to the wind, the audience leave all traces of lockdown behind, fighting to get as close to the stage as possible.
The festival is running on a slightly smaller scale than in previous years, and in an effort to minimise the spread of Covid, every attendee is asked to bring proof of a negative lateral flow test; those who didn’t have proof were asked to take a test there and then on site. We then have our temperature taken before being granted a wristband.
This year, Visions spans across three venues in East London (two fewer than normal), and each venue runs at a slightly reduced capacity. Having said that, once in, the rooms feel packed and the energy is high, bubbling with conversation and buzzing at the thrill of being back in a crowd.
Oval Space functions as the main stage. Up the stairs, past the outdoor balcony bar, and into the room, with windows overlooking the Regent’s Canal and its dramatic gasholders, it’s a venue that gives a striking reference to pre-industrial Victorian London. Inside it’s all grey concrete flooring and whitewashed walls, with purple strobe lighting illuminating Girl Ray as they fill the space with arpeggiators and synthesisers. The silky soft-pop vocals are occasionally interspersed with a Kraftwerk-esque vocoder, giving a hint of something extraterrestrial.
Next, I head to Pickle Factory, whose lineup celebrates predominantly Black artists throughout the course of the day, ranging from Kai Kwasi‘s spellbinding sample-based bedroom pop, to high-energy experimental rap from both Grove and Flohio, and Falle Nioke‘s percussion-based, Guinean-inspired electronic music. The room, with its wooden ceiling and exposed brick floor, is packed wall-to-wall all day, in reverence to the live music culture that has been so deeply missed for the last year.
A short walk through Bethnal Green takes me to the third venue, a beautiful red brick building embedded within a surrounding council estate. The Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club is a new site for this festival, and it really is what it says on the tin. Inside, it’s the the kind of venue where you’d usually go for cheap pints and bingo. The stage is lit up by a giant love heart, big multicoloured bulbs glowing cheekily from behind the the musicians’ heads. The walls are decorated with gold foil tinsel curtains, and a disco ball gently spins. It feels like both a time and location warp. We could just as well have stepped into a village hall in a remote part of Wales in the 1960s. Or Sheffield, or Newcastle, or Glasgow. The space beautifully facilitates a coming-together; of friends, of musicians and their audiences, and of two very different worlds, allowing the modern and experimental art world to exist in a space so deeply rooted in a time long gone by.
South London’s Wu-Lu takes to the stage here, changing the atmosphere and seamlessly embracing a cross-genre soundscape of heavy rock guitar, subtle jazz, grunge beats and soft, textural vocals. The overall effect is an ebbing and flowing of highly dynamic, passionate and loud walls of sound, and sections of drifting, meandering hypnosis. The sound engineer immaculately follows the natural dynamic contours of the music, softer sections gradually rising and building into immersive full body waves of vibration.
The line up for this stage is a highly eclectic mix of cultures and musical backgrounds. There’s caroline – an eight-piece band who’s bedroom post-rock is reminiscent of early Yndi Halda, with the soulful addition of trad folk vocals – R&B experimentalist GAIKA, and Folly Group, who introduce an injection of energetic indie rock, thick with percussion and heavy vocals. Loraine James headlines this stage, bringing together influences from jazz, electronica, UK drill and grime.
Following Yard Act‘s performative (and totally captivating) critique of the British class system, Billy Nomates opens her set with the lyric “No is your greatest resistance.” Alone on stage with a backing track, it really is remarkable how she so completely manages to captivate her audience, via her use of driving bass lines, heavy sub synths and incredibly catchy melodies, sung in a thick American accent, with a notable hint of country. It shouldn’t work but somehow it does, probably due to her sheer passion on stage. Arms reaching and body bending, her quirky dancing to her own music is at once bizarre and very, very contagious.
Visions 2021 is a mix of experiences, sounds and juxtapositions which are both unique and brilliant. It feels as though it isn’t just the musicians who’ve been rehearsing for this day; the organisers clearly have, with a lineup that’s so carefully curated, and it even feels like we, the audience, have rehearsed too. After so many months deprived of live music events, Visions is attended by all with greater focus. In comparison to memories of “life before Covid”, we come with a little more appreciation, a little more passion and a little more love. | <urn:uuid:fd007e96-4f38-47fc-8cd9-4c7069f2ec14> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.loudandquiet.com/short/visions-festival-2021/ | 2024-04-19T11:32:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.949327 | 1,280 |
Suffering an injury is frustrating as it is, but sustaining an injury at the hands of another adds an additional layer of stress and complication. If someone else causes you harm, you’re likely to face financial consequences as well. A Myrtle Beach injury attorney can help you get the justice and financial compensation you deserve after suffering an unexpected injury. Lowcountry Law, LLC is standing by to assist you.
What Is a Personal Injury?
A personal injury refers to the physical and mental harm an individual suffers at the hands of another.
Several types of injuries could count as personal injuries, including:
- Broken bones
- Head injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Neck injuries
- Back and spinal cord injuries
- Amputation injuries
If you suffer an injury due to another individual’s wrongful action or negligence, you may be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit. Personal injury law protects injured individuals, allowing them to pursue justice from the responsible party and financial compensation for their injuries and losses.
How Personal Injury Claims Arise
Usually, personal injury claims come about due to negligent or intentional wrongdoing. The most common kind of personal injury claims include the following:
- Car accidents
- Truck Accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Boating accidents
- Slip and falls
- Workplace accidents
- Construction accidents
- Malfunctioning or defective products
- Medical malpractice
A personal injury can occur in any type of setting for a multitude of reasons.
Who’s Liable for Causing My Injury?
The person responsible for causing your injury is usually the one who’s considered liable.
Establishing liability is an essential part of any injury case. While many injuries arise from intentional actions, most happen due to negligence. When someone is negligent, they fail to act in a manner that another reasonable actor in the same position would have.
To prove the other party’s negligence, you’ll have to establish that they owed you a duty of care and breached this duty and that their breach was the cause of your accident.
A Myrtle Beach injury attorney can gather important evidence that proves the other party’s negligence. Once you establish the other party was at fault, you’ll be one step closer to obtaining fair compensation for your injuries.
Compensation for Personal Injury Claims
The damages you stand to receive for your injuries depend on the nature of the incident that caused the harm, the type and severity of your injuries, and the losses you incurred as a result. Both economic and non-economic damages may be available with the help of a Myrtle Beach injury attorney and could include:
- Current and future medical bills
- Lost earnings
- Loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Emotional distress
- Permanent disfigurement
Punitive damages may also be available in cases where the defendant’s actions were willful, wanton, or reckless.
South Carolina places damage caps on non-economic damages for medical malpractice cases and punitive damages. In most personal injury cases, there are no damage caps, allowing a plaintiff to seek as much compensation as they feel they deserve.
Your Myrtle Beach injury attorney can thoroughly review the details of your situation to calculate the value of your case. Knowing how much your case is worth can help you pursue maximum compensation for your injuries.

Former two-time middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya appears to be all ears toward last night’s call out from rival and newly-crowned divisional champion, Dricus du Plessis following UFC 297 – claiming the duo’s paths are “destined” to cross once more.
Adesanya, a former two-time undisputed middleweight titleholder, has been sidelined since he took main event honors at UFC 293 back in September, suffering his second championship loss in the space of a year, in the form of an upset decision loss to Sean Strickland in Australia.
And failing to appear at UFC 297 last night in Toronto, Adesanya was initially expected to feature at Octagon-side ahead of the main event bout, between Strickland and South African force, du Plessis.
Turning in a close, split judging win over Strickland, Pretoria native, du Plessis landed his first title victory since his move to the Octagon four years prior, retaining his promotional-perfect run to boot in a hard-fought five round clash with the champion.
And immediately switching focus to his first title defense in the immediate aftermath of his UFC 297 win, du Plessis urged City Kickboxing staple, Adesanya to make a hasty return to the Octagon – amid links to a quickfire turnaround on a monumental UFC 300 card in April.
Israel Adesanya welcomes Dricus du Plessis fight
Welcoming the opportunity to settle the score with du Plessis in a bid to become a three-time middleweight gold holder, Nigerian-Kiwi striker, Adesanya responded on social media.
“IS~RA~EL ADESANYA,” Israel Adesanya posted on his official X account. “This arc in my story was written long ago. Our paths are destined to cross again. Stay tuned for the next episode, thanks for watching. We Write History.”
Sharing the Octagon in a tense face-off back in July of last year following UFC 290 during International Fight Week, Adesanya’s planned September fight with du Plessis was scuppered after the latter was unable to recover from a lingering injury suffered pre-fight.

presentation on strengths-based biopsychosocial techniques to attending to anxiety and while those are fantastic you understand I believed maybe we should take a look at you know what’s a few of the current research so I went into PubMed which is I do not understand it’s play area for me it’s where you find a great deal of the journal articles and you can arrange and I sorted by short articles that were done and meta-analyses that were done within the past 5 years so that gives us a concept about current research I indicate there’s a lot of things that is still the same like a few of the medications that were understood to work 10 years back are still known to be you know good first-line treatments but there are also some newcomers that we’ll speak about and there are likewise some changes that we’re going to discuss so we’re going to explore some typical causes for stress and anxiety symptoms in order to treat it we actually need to and naturally this does play into the biopsychosocial element we really need to comprehend kind of what causes it since stress and anxiety that’s brought on by for example someone having a racing heart might be different than stress and anxiety that’s triggered for someone who has abandonment concerns so we’re gon na deal with the two things in a different way so we want to look at a few of the typical causes we’re gon na look at some common triggers for stress and anxiety you know what are some of these common themes that we see in practice and I will ask you to share a few of the styles that you see that underline or underlie a lot of your clients anxiety and identify existing best practices for anxiety management including therapy interventions medications physical interventions and helpful treatments so we care because stress and anxiety.
can be disabling and a lot of our clients have stress and anxiety a great deal of our customers have stress and anxiety comorbid with depression and they’re taking a look at us going how can I feel nervous and stressed and like I can’t sit still and depressed at the same time you understand when you’re depressed you’re supposed to wish to sleep well a great deal of times people who are have both issues really want to sleep however they can’t so I want to help customers comprehend that likewise often stress and anxiety when individuals are anxious for long enough the body starts kind of holding on to the cortisol the body really acknowledges at a certain point this is a losing battle I’m not going to put energy into this anymore so it starts with drawing a few of its excitatory neurotransmitter so to speak and people will start to feel depressed generally the brain has already said this is hopeless this is you’re you’re defenseless to alter the situation so then individuals start feeling hopeless and defenseless which is sort of the meaning if you will of anxiety low-grade chronic stress and stress and anxiety occurred energy and individuals’s capability to focus so if we’re going to help them become their uber selves we need to help them find out how to address stress and anxiety not just generalized frustrating devastating stress and anxiety but also panic social stress and anxiety and those small stress and anxiety sets off that come along that might not satisfy the threshold for a medical diagnosis stress and anxiety is a major trigger for addiction regression if you have a client who is self
medicated before or had an addiction for some reason stress and anxiety is a significant trigger increased physical pain when anxiety increases individuals tend to tense their muscles when they tense their muscles they tend to feel more pain I suggest think of when you’re stressed out you tend to have more discomfort like in your neck in your back and things that already injured may injure more why because serotonin which is among our significant anti-anxiety neurotransmitters is likewise among our significant pain modulators so when serotonin levels are too low due to the fact that anxiety is high then our pain understanding is going to be more intense and people can have sleep problems if you’re stressed your body thinks there’s a hazard you’re not going to be able to get into that deep relaxing sleep you might have you might sleep you might sleep a lot but it’s probably not quality sleep which indicates your neurotransmitters may leave whack your hormonal agents make it out of whack and your body is going to start perceiving your itself in a persistent state of tension when we’re exhausted the body knows that we might be the weakest link in the herd so it continues to secrete cortisol to keep keep you on alert a little bit so you may once again you may be resting type of like when you have a new baby in your home those first number of months that my children were house from the healthcare facility I slept however I didn’t sleep well I imply the slightest little sound and I was awake and I was taking a look around and you know I felt it I felt exhausted and a great deal of new moms and dads do so activates for stress and anxiety abandonment and rejection and we’re going to talk about methods we may wish to deal with these things but a few of the underlying styles that I’ve seen in a great deal of clients and when I do the research study what a great deal of what themes that come out include low self-esteem
if somebody has low self-confidence they’re looking to be externally verified often they’re trying to find somebody else to tell them you’re adorable you’re fine so that can result in stress and anxiety about not having people to tell them you’re fine that makes their relationships tenuous and can make them dysfunctional irrational thoughts and cognitive distortions might lead people to believe that if I’m not perfect for example I am not adorable so we’re going to look at some irrational thoughts and cognitive distortions unhealthy social supports and relationships when you’re in a relationship it takes two to tango and even if your customer is relatively mentally and physically healthy if they are in a dysfunctional relationship they can fear abandonment and rejection if that other individual is always saying if you don’t do X I’m going to leave you or if that other person is constantly cheating on them or whatever so relationships can activate abandonment anxiety and inadequate interpersonal skills can result in relationship turmoil and social exile if our clients are in relationships even if they’re not entirely inefficient if our clients are unable to request for what they need and set proper borders and handle conflict successfully because conflict takes place in every relationship then they might begin to argue more which may cause fearing might result in relationships ending in the past and them going well every relationship I enter into ends which implies I should not be adorable so they start fearing abandonment and rejection so these are four areas that we can take a look at another examining clients another issue is the unknown and loss of control a great deal of times unfavorable self-talk and cognitive distortions can contribute to that if I do not have control of everything then it’s all going to be a disaster unfavorable others when customers hang out or when individuals socialize with negative individuals it type of wears on you after a while you discover that individuals who are tend to be more negative pessimistic conspiracy minded tend to hang out with people who are likewise negative pessimistic and conspiracy minded so if you’re socializing with somebody who tends to be distressed then the stress and anxiety can be palpable and it can kind of permeate physical complaints can lead people to be nervous since they don’t know what’s causing it like I said previously sometimes if your heart starts to race if you do not know what’s triggering it you can begin believing I’m having a cardiac arrest or I’m gon na pass away when people have anxiety attack for example they truly think they’re having a cardiac arrest and
it’s I’ve had them they are really very unpleasant experiences however when people start having physical problems and it can be you know they have an odd rash that they can’t get to go away or it whatever however when they do not understand what it is and they can’t manage it they can’t make it disappear they start thinking of all the worst-case circumstances and going on the internet and getting on WebMD which typically offers you all the worst-case situations um so physical complaints are essential we require to normalize the truth that nobody’s pain-free all the time and you understand the truth that you may have a pain or a pains or a swelling or a bump or you understand a cough more than likely you know when we take a look at likelihood the likelihood of it being something significant is pretty little now do you wish to get it took a look at probably however you know the likelihood that is anything to be worried about is is relatively little and a sense of powerlessness can set off fear of the unknown and loss of control for somebody who doesn’t seem like they have any agency in their life if they have an external locus of control or if they felt victimized all of their life then they might fear not being in control they may be hanging on and stating okay this is the one area of my life I can manage when I matured you understand I matured in a very chaotic environment I had no control I was bounced around in the foster system yadda yadda yadda now that I’m an adult you know I can control these things and I am going to hang on with white knuckles and if I can’t control everything then that frightens me death and loss are other triggers for anxiety and it can be family pets or people and animals are essential I do not wish to minimize pets due to the fact that you know they are little parts of a great deal of our households so making sure we check that my daughter’s canine for instance is it’s getting old she’s aging she’s 14 now I believe and you understand she’s in decent health we took her to the veterinarian and the veterinarian said yeah she’s got a little heart murmur but that’s expected for a 14 years of age dog and but when she goes out if she does not return when I call her I have this rush of stress and anxiety for a second oh my gosh I hope this wasn’t the day so stress and anxiety around losing people and you know if she when she crosses the bridge she will and and you understand
I’m all right with that I’m I have a more difficult time handling my daughter’s psychological chaos when that happens and because she’s matured with this canine so you understand those are the kinds of things that we wish to talk about with our clients what things are weighing on you that you may not even be considering because I understand in the back of my mind there’s always that fret about one of our donkeys and her pet dog jobs and promos can trigger stress and anxiety if individuals hesitate they’re gon na lose their job if they’re always afraid that you understand they’re gon na walk in and get or get a pink slip fired you understand we wish to help them look at how realistic is that are you doing what you need to do in order to accomplish and keep your job and in some cases it’s not easy to answer I mean the very first thought that a great deal of us have is well you know if you’re doing the best thing so simply do it however there are those managers out there and I have actually had some actually amazing managers a great deal of them and I have actually had two actually horrendous employers and those two bosses I might never I never seemed like I had the ability to do anything ideal therefore going to those jobs there was always this anxiety about what I’m what am I going to get in trouble for today so you want to talk with individuals about does your job cause anxiety what can you do to moderate that anxiety the same thing with promos individuals may get distressed about whether they’re going to get promoted safety and security you understand when you lose security and security you can feel actually nervous so if there’s a break-in at the house next door or a shooting down the road or you begin viewing the news you can feel unsecure and very hazardous actually rapidly so we want to assist people determine how safe and protected are you actually and a great deal of it goes back to truly looking at realities when individuals lose their dreams and hopes or fear that they’re going to lose their dreams and hopes they can begin to get nervous you know they have this dream that they’re going to be a doctor or I simply completed the discussion on assisting high school trainees transition to college and a great deal of high school trainees for example start college with these large eyes and wants to conserve the world and they wish to be medical professionals and engineers and this and that and they enter into it and they understand that it’s a lot harder than they believed or they understand that you understand what I actually do not like this but I have actually already dedicated to it so what do I do or I want to help individuals but I can’t I can’t cut it doing this you know for me I determined in my 2nd year that I wasn’t going to medical school due to the fact that I wasn’t going to pass calculus and that triggered a great deal of anxiety it resembled fine what am I gon na do now you know what profession ought to I choose so helping individuals figure out do you have dreams that have maybe sort of crashed and burned and you need to discover new ones you understand okay that one we have actually got to accept it find out that it’s not going to be and what can you do now people
might likewise have dreams about relationships they enter relationships and they see themselves with this person permanently and then this relationship ends and or starts to get rocky and they resemble but that’s my dream what happens if my that’s got to occur due to the fact that it’s my dream I do not understand how to operate if that disappears we wish to help people be able to rewrite their narrative and then sickness spiders and other fears kind of shares death a great deal of times when people get sick they start getting nervous that oh my gosh what if this is terminal oh my gosh what if this is you understand incurable if I get bit by a spider it’s gon na eliminate me and which is unusual you understand there are very couple of spiders that are actually that poisonous very same thing with snakes going over bridges I’ve shared with you all that is not one of my irrational fears you understand I am just terrified that you understand something’s going to take place and I’m going to get pushed off the side of the bridge which is totally unreasonable but we need to assist people take a look at those and recognize the ideas that they’re telling themself about those fears and handle that anxiety failure is another trigger for anxiety especially in this culture our culture American culture in in large part puts a high premium on success and perfectionism so when individuals understand that they’re not best they may begin to get anxious since they seem like if I’m not best then I’m a failure you understand those cognitive distortions of all-or-nothing thinking and they start with that negative self-talk you know you can’t do anything right so those are some of the issues that you understand we frequently see in counseling sessions so what do we do you know someone comes in and it like I can’t live in this manner doc stress and anxiety depression and compound disorders as well as a series of physical conditions are often comorbid so this is the first thing we need to recognize we need to recognize that we’re really hardly ever dealing with an extremely simple medical diagnosis you understand when somebody comes in we require to figure out you understand if they come in and they’re presenting with anxiety all right let’s discuss that and
Understanding Anxiety: A Patient’s Experience:
In my current session with Emma (name changed for personal privacy), a 32-year-old lady, I had the opportunity to delve into the intricate layers of stress and anxiety. These signs were interfering with her daily life, relationships, and overall well-being.
Emma’s Treatment Strategy:
To resolve Emma’s anxiety, we established a detailed treatment plan tailored to her special needs. Here are some crucial elements of her plan:
Psychoeducation: Educating Emma about stress and anxiety and its psychological and physiological manifestations helped her gain a deeper understanding of her signs. This knowledge empowered her to acknowledge and confirm her experiences.

Business restructuring or business restructuring has acquired Popularity with enormous and private venture homes all through the planet. It is currently an ideal methodology to satisfy up with the development or withdrawal requests of an association. Associations intending to amplify their base hotel to combinations, acquisitions, consolidations, resource buys, joint endeavors, and takeovers. They are a wide range of sorts of business restructuring which unite the assets of two organizations under one umbrella. They are viewed as synergistic in nature since they lead to more noteworthy advantages of financial matters of scale, utilization of duty covers, creation of a colossal pool of assets, and the arrangement of a more productive bearing. Then again, getting the organization through divestitures, side projects and a splitups are various sorts of business restructuring. Here the center is to wipe out a misfortune making key business unit to have the option to shorten business misfortunes.
Such ways are likewise preferred When associations take a stab at more prominent operational effectiveness and wish to zero in additional on districts which have huge benefit producing potential. A divestiture incorporates the offer of a part of an organization to another firm. It is a constriction move from the merchant’s perspective. In a side project, a business unit is turned off into an alternate organization having its own lawful personality and a typical seal. In a spiltup, one organization, which is a parent organization, is isolated into at least two separate associations. A mainstream kind of business restructuring is to expand assets from the overall population through the value or obligation way. This empowers the organization order impressive measures of cash that in any case is incomprehensible through the individual course. In this, the association draws out an underlying public offer welcoming individuals to apply to its recommended least number of offers conveying a fixed assumed worth.
In the first place, the explanations behind restructuring your organization and for staff redundancies consistently must be authentic. Moreover, the state of the business changes from private confined to public restricted in the wake of meeting an extensive rundown of legitimate conventions. Something else, a public endeavor going private is likewise a sort of business restructuring. It is typically called privatization. In most non-industrial nations, public area was made to take care of enterprises of vital significance like steel, oil, and guard. Throughout the progression of time, failures like administration and red tapism crawled to the system bringing about constant monetary misfortunes. Thus, the experts in these nations started moving responsibility for organizations into private hands. The current business circumstance has brought forth various types of business blend’s and business restructuring that is finished with the vital target of achieving an upper hand in the business. | <urn:uuid:05672d2e-d8c9-4fe9-b5e5-bd9adcb951a3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.lucialoo.com/2021/different-forms-of-business-restructuring.html | 2024-04-19T11:43:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.949795 | 531 |

LUTARKE is everywhere admirable, but especially where he judgeth of humane actions. The notable things he reporteth may be perceived in the comparison of Lycurgus and Numa, speaking of the great simplicity we commit in leaving long children under the government and charge of their fathers and parents. Most of our policies or commonwealths, saith Aristotle (as the Cyclopes were wont) commit the conduct of their wives and charge of their children to all men, according to their foolish humour or indiscreete fantasies. And well-nigh none but the Lacedemonian and Cretensian have resigned the discipline of children to the lawes. Who seeth not that in an estate all things depend of nurture and education? And all the while, without discretion, it is wholly left to the parents mercy how foolish and wicked soever they be. Amongst other things, how often (walking through our streets) have I desired to have a play or comedie made in revenge of young boyes, which I saw thumpt, misused, and well-nigh murthered by some harebrained, moodie, and through choler-raging fathers and mothers, from out whose eyes a man might see sparkles of rage to startle.------ rabie jecur incendente feruntur(And according to Hypocrates, the most dangerous infirmities are those which disfigure the face), and with a loud thundring voice often to follow children that came but lately from nurse, which after prove lame, maimed, blockish and dul-pated with blowes; and yet our lawes makes no accompt of it, as if these spraines and unjoyntings of limbes, or these maimes were no members of our commonwealth.
Præcipites, ut saxa jugis abrupta, quibus mons
Subtrahitur, clivoque latus pendente recedit: -- JUV. Sat. vi. 548.They headlong runne with rage, which doth enflame their livers
Like stones that broken fall from mountaine tops in shivers,
The hill withdrawes, and they are rould
From hanging cliffe which leaves their holdGratum est quod patrim civem populoque dedisti,There is no passion so much transports the sinceritie of judgement as doth anger. No man would make conscience to punish that judge by death who in rage or choler had condemned an offender. And why should fathers be allowed to beate or schoolmasters be suffered to whip children, or to punish them, being angry? It is no longer correction, but revenge. Punishment is unto children as physicke, and would any man endure a physician that were angrie and wroth against his patient? Our selves (did we well), during the time of our anger, should never lay hands on our servants. So long as our pulse panted, and we feele any concitation, so long remit we the partie: and things will seeme far otherwise unto us if we once come to our senses again, and shall better bethinke us. Then is it passion that commandes. It is passion that speaketh, and not we. Athwart it, faults seeme much greater unto us, as bodies doe athwart a foggy mist. Whoso is hungry useth meat, but whoso will use chastisement should never hunger nor thirst after it. Moreover, corrections given with discretion and moderation are more gently received, and with more good to him that receiveth them. Otherwise hee shall never thinke to have beene justly condemned by a man who is transported by rage and choler, and for his justification alleadgeth the extraordinary motions of his maister, the inflammation of his face, his unwonted oaths, his chafing, his unquietnesse, and his rash precipitation.
Si facis ut patriæ sit idoneus, utilis aqris,
Vtilis et bellorum et pacis rebus agendis. -- Juv. Sat. xiv. 70.That you to th'countrie give a man, 'tis acceptable,
If for the countrie fit you make him, for fields able,
Of peace and warre for all achievements profitable.Ora tument ira, nigrescunt sanguine venæ:Suetonius writeth that Caius Rabirius, having by Cæsar been condemned, nothing did him so much good towards the people (to whom he appealed) to make him obtain his suit, as the sharpnes and over-boldnes which Cæsar had declared in that judgement. Saying is one thing, and doing another. A man must consider the sermon apart and the preacher severall. Those have made themselves good sport who in our dayes have gone about to checke the veritie of our Church by the ministers vice: she fetcheth her testimony from elsewhere. It is a foolish manner of arguing, and which would soone reduce all things to a confusion. An honest man may sometimes have false opinions, and a wicked man may preach truth: yea such a one as beleeves it not. Verily it is a pleasing harmonie when doing and saying goe together. And I will not deny but saying when deeds follow is of more efficacie and authority: as said Eudamidas when he heard a philosopher discourse of warre: these speeches are good, but he that speakes them is not to be beleeved, for his eares were never accustomed to heare the clang of trumpets nor rattling of drums. And Cleomenes, hearing a rhetoritian speake of valour, burst out into an extreame laughter; whereat the other being offended, he said unto him: 'I would doe as much if it were a swallow should speake of it, but were be an eagle I should gladly heare him.' Me seemeth I perceive in ancient mens writings that he who speaks what he thinketh toucheth nearer the quick than he who counterfeits. Heare Cicero speak of the love of libertie, then listen to Brutus: their wordes will tell you and sound in your eare, the latter was a man readie to purchase it with the price of his life. Let Cicero, that father of eloquence, treate of the contempt of death, and let Seneca discourse of the same; the first drawes it on languishing, and would faine resolve you of a thing whereof he has not yet resolved himselfe. He giveth you no heart, for himselfe hath none: whereas the other doth rowze, animate, and inflame you. I never looke upon an author, be they such as write of vertue and of actions, but I curiously endevour to finde out what he was himselfe. For the Ephori of Sparta, hearing a dissolute liver propose a very beneficial advise unto the people, commanded him to hold his peace, and desired an honest man to assume the invention of it unto himselfe, and to propound it. Plutarkes compositions, if they be well savored, doe plainely manifest the same unto us: and I am perswaded I know him inwardly: yet would I be glad we had some memories of his owne life: and by the way I am falne into this discourse, by reason of the thanks I owe unto Aulus Gellius, in that he hath left us written this story of his manners, which fitteth my story of anger. A slave of his, who was a lewd and vicious man, but yet whose eares were somewhat fedde with philosophicall documents, having for some faults by him committed, by the commandement of Plutarke his master been stripped naked, whilst another servant of his whipped him, grumbled in the beginning that he was whipped without reason and had done nothing: but in the end mainly crying out, he fell to railing and wronging his master, upbraiding him that he was not a true Philosopher, as he vanted himself to be, and how he had often heard him say that it was an unseemely thing in a man to be angry. And that he had made a booke of it: and now, all plunged in rage and engulf'ed in choler, to cause him so cruelly to be beaten was cleane contrarie to his owne writing. To whom Plutarke, with an unaltered and milde-setled countenance, said thus unto him: 'What, thou raskall, whereby doest thou judge I am now angrie? Doth my countenance, doth my voice, doth my colour, or doth my speech give thee any testimony that I am either moved or cholericke? Mee seemeth mine eyes are not staringly wilde, nor my face troubled, nor voice frightful or distempered. Doe I waxe red? Do I foame at the mouth? Doth any word escape me I may repent hereafter? Doe I startle and quake? Doe I rage and ruffle with anger? For to tell thee true, these are the right signes of choler and tokens of anger.' Then turning to the party that whipped him: 'Continue still thy work,' quoth he, whilst this fellow and I dispute of the matter.' This is the report of Gellius. Architas Tarentinus returning from a warre where he had beene captaine generall, found his house all out of order, husbandrie all spoiled, and by the ill government of his bailiffe, his ground all waste and unmanured; and having called for him, said thus: 'Away, bad man, for if I were not angrie I would have thee whipt for this.' Plato likewise being vexed and angrie with one of his slaves, commanded Speusippus to punish him, excusing himselfe that now being angrie he would not lay hands upon him. Charilus the Lacedemonian, to an Helot who behaved himselfe over insolently and audaciously towards him, by the Gods (saith he) if I were not now angrie I would presently make thee die. It is a passion which pleaseth and flattereth it selfe. How many times being moved by any false suggestion, if at that instant we be presented with any lawfull defence or true excuse, doe we fall into rage against truth and innocencie it selfe? Touching this purpose, I have retained a wonderfull example of antiquitie. Piso, in divers other respects a man of notable vertue, being angrie, and chafing with one of his souldiers, who returning from forage or boothbaling, could not give him an accompt where he had left a fellow-souldier of his, and thereupon concluding he had killed or made him away, forthwith condemned him to be hanged. And being upon the gallowes and ready to dye behold his companion who had stragled abroade, comming home, whereat all the army rejoyced very much, and after many embracings and signes of joy between the two souldiers, the hangman brought both unto Piso, all the company hoping it would be a great pleasure unto him; but it fell out cleane contrary, for through shame and spite, his wrath, still burning, was redoubled, and with a slie devise his passion instantly presented to his minde, he made three guiltie, forsomuch as one of them was found innocent, and caused them all three to bee dispatched: the first souldier because he was alreadie condemned; the second, which had stragled abroade, by reason he was the cause of his fellowes death; and the hangman for that he had not fulfilled his generalls commandement. Those who have to deale with froward and skittish women have no doubt seene what rage they will fall into, if when they are most angrie and chafing a man be silent and patient, and disdains to foster their anger and wrath. Celius the orator was by nature exceedingly fretfull and cholerike. To one who was with him at supper, a man of a milde and gentle conversation, and who because he would not move him, seemed to approve whatever he said, and yeeld to him in every thing, as unable to endure his peevishness should so passe without some nourishment, burst out into a rage and said unto him: 'For the love of God, deny me something, that we may be two.' So women are never angrie but to the end a man should againe be angrie with them, therein imitating the lawes of love. Phocion to a man who troubled his discourse with brawling and scolding at him in most injurious manner, did nothing else but hold his peace, and give him what leisure he would to vent his choler, which done, without taking any notice of it, began his discourse againe where he had left it off. There is no reply so sharpe as such silent contempt. Of the most cholerlike and testie man of France (which is ever an imperfection, but more excusable in a military man, for it must needes be granted there are in that profession some men who cannot well avoyde it) I ever say he is the patientest man I knowe to bridle his choler; it mooveth and transporteth him with such furie and violence --
Lumina Gorgoneo sævius igne micant. -- OVID. Art. Am. 1. iii. 53.The face with anger swelles, the veines grow blacke with blood,
The eyes more fiercely shine than Gorgons fierie moode.------ magno veluti cum flamma sonorethat he must cruelly enforce himselfe to moderate the same. And for my part I know noe passion I were able to smother with such temper and abide with such resolution. I would not set wisdome at so high a rate. I respect not so much what he doth as how much it cost him not to doe worse. Another boasted in my presence of his behaviours order and mildnesse, which in truth is singular. I tolde him that indeed it was much, namely, in men of so eminent a quality as himselfe was, on whom all eyes are fixed, alwaies to shew himselfe in a good temper; but that the chiefest point consisted in providing inwardly and for himselfe; and that in mine opinion it was no discreet part inwardly to fret: which, to maintaine that marke and formall outward appearance, I feared hee did. Choler is incorporated by concealing and smothering the same, as Diogenes said to Demosthenes, who fearing to be seene in a taverne withdrew himselfe into the same. The more thou recoylest backe, the further thou goest into it. I would rather perswade a man, though somewhat out of season, to give his boy a wherrat on the eare, then to dissemble this wise, sterile or severe countenance, to vex and fret his minde. And I would rather make shew of my passions then smother them to my cost, which being vented and exprest, become more languishing and weake: better it is to let its pointe worke outwardly, then bend it against our selves. Omnia vitia in aperto leviora aunt: et tunc perniciosissima, quum simulata sanitate subsidunt; (SEN. Epist. lvi.) 'All vices are then lesse perilous when they lie open to bee seene, but then most pernitious when they lurke under counterfeited soundenesse.' I ever warne those of my household who by their offices-authoritie may sometimes have occasion to be angry, first to husband their anger, then not employ it upon every slight cause; for that impeacheth the effect and worth of it. Rash and ordinary brawling is converted to a custome, and thats the reason each man contemnes it. That which you employ against a servant for any theeving is not perceived, because it is the same he hath sundry times seene you use against him if he have not washt a glasse well or misplaced a stoole. Secondly, that they be not angry in vaine, but ever have regard their chiding come to his eares with whom they are offended; for commonly some will brawle before he come in their presence, and chide a good while after he is gone --
Virgea suggeritur costis undantis aheni,
Exultantque æstu latices, furit intus aquai
Fumidus atque alte spumis exuberat amnis,
Nec jam se capit unda, volat vapor ater ad auras -- VIRG. Æn. 1. vii. 462.As when a fagot flame with hurring sounds
Under the ribbes of boyling cauldron lies,
The water swelles with heat beyond the bounds,
Whence streaming streames raging and foaming rise,
Water out-runs it selfe, blacke vapours flye to skies --Et secure petulans amentia certat, -- CLAUD. in Eu. 1. i. 48.and wreake their anger against his shadow, and make the storme fall where no man is either chastised or interested, but with the rumour of their voice, and sometimes with such as cannot doe withall. I likewise blame those who being angry will brave and mutinie when the partie with whom they are offended is not by. These Rodomontados must be employed on such as feare them.Madnesse makes with it selfe a fray,
Which fondly doth the wanton play --Mugitus veluti cum prima in prælia taurusWhen I chance to be angrie it is in the earnestest manner that may be, but yet as briefly and as secretly as is possible. I lose my selfe in hastiness and violence, but not in trouble. So that let me spend all manner of injurious words at randome and without all heed, and never respect, to place my points pertinently, and where they may doe most hurt: for commonly I employ nothing but my tongue. My boyes scape better cheape in great matters then in small trifles. Slight occasions surprise me, and the mischiefe is that after you are once falne into the pits it is no matter who thrusts in, you never cease till you come to the bottome. The fall presseth, hasteneth, mooveth, and furthereth it selfe. In great occasions I am pleased that they are so just, that every body expects a reasonable anger to insue. I glorify my selfe to deceive their expectation. Against these I bandy and prepare my selfe; they make me summon up my wits and threaten to carry me very farre if I would follow them. I easily keepe my selfe from falling into them, and if I stay for them I am strong enough to reject the impulsion of this passion, what violent cause soever it hath. But if it seize upon and once preoccupate me, what vaine cause soever it hath, it doth cleane transport me: I condition thus with those that may contest with me, when you perceive me to be first angry, be it right or wrong, let me hold on my course, I will do the like to you whenever it shall come to my lot. There is not engendred but by the concurrence of cholers, which are easily produced one of another, and are not borne at one instant. Let us allow every man his course, so shall we ever be in peace. Oh profitable prescription, but of an hard execution! I shall sometime seeme to be angry for the order and direction of my house, without any just emotion. According as my age yeeldeth my humours more sharp and peevish, so do I endevour to oppose my selfe against them and if I can I will hereafter enforce my selfe to be lesse froward and not so testy, as I shall have more excuse and inclinations to be so; although I have heretofore beene in their number that are least. A word more to conclude this chapter: Aristotle saith choler doth sometimes serve as armes unto Vertue and Valor. It is very likely: notwithstanding such as gainsay him, answer pleasantly, it is a weapon of a new fashion and strange use. For we moove other weapons but this mooveth us; our hand doth not guide it, but it directeth our hand; it holdeth us, and we hold not it.
Terrificos ciet, atqui irasci in cornua tentat,
Arboris obnixus trunco, ventosque lacessit
Ictibus, et sparsa ad pugnam proludit arena. -- VIRG. Æn. 1. xii. 103.As when a furious bull to his first combats mooves
His terror-breeding lowes, his horne to anger prooves,
Striving against a trees trunke, and the wind with strokes,
His preface made to fight with scattered sand, provokes.

SanDisk (http://www.sandisk.com) says it’s increased the speed limit
on digital photography by upping the speed of SD flash memory cards
to 30 megabytes per second with the new SanDisk Extreme III 30MB/s
Edition SDHC card.
The 50-percent burst in performance lets consumers shoot like the
pros with DSLRs using continuous shooting mode, and shortening the
time spent offloading images, says Susan Park, director of consumer
product marketing for SanDisk’s performance cards. The cards, due in
September, make it possible to record 39 images in continuous
shooting mode at 4.5 frames per second with a file size of 6.0 MB
JPEG L Fine per image.
The manufacturer’s suggested retail price is US$64.99 for the 4GB
card, $109.99 for the 8GB card, and U.S. $179.99 for the 16GB card.
Simultaneously, Nikon formally announced its new Nikon D90 DSLR
camera. It’s the industry’s first DSLR camera to take advantage of
the new SanDisk Extreme III Edition 30MB/s SDHC cards. The Nikon D90
is also the first DSLR to offer movie recording capability, making
the largest capacity 16GB SanDisk Extreme III card a great option. | <urn:uuid:1e48a209-2a8d-48be-b869-24e3d32f2e1b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.mactech.com/2008/08/27/sandisk-boosts-sd-card-speed/ | 2024-04-19T12:44:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.878349 | 290 |
Amid indications that Apple Inc. is ratcheting up its iPad production targets to meet booming demand, iSuppli Corp. (http://www.isuppli.com) is ratcheting up its shipment forecast as well.
iSuppli now predicts Apple will ship 12.9 million iPads in 2010, an increase from the previous forecast issued April 2 of 7.1 million units. Shipments will rise to 36.5 million in 2011 and 50.4 million in 2012, predicts the research group.
“The iPad is shaping up to be the ‘Tickle Me Elmo’ of the 2010 holiday season, with product demand expected to vastly exceed available supply,” says Rhoda Alexander, director of monitor research for iSuppli. “Apple has hiked its iPad manufacturing goals to suppliers across Asia. As iSuppli stated in its initial forecast, the key to continuing success will be how quickly Apple responds to issues as they arise and whether the company can align suppliers to meet demand needs. Apple’s acceleration of its component demand indicates that the company has raised its iPad production target for 2010. Our latest research indicates there is much higher production than previously expected for two key components: LCD panels and NAND flash.”
iSuppli’s original iPad forecast was by far the most aggressive outlook for the product among industry analysis and market research firms issuing outlooks at the time. iSuppli in April characterized its forecast as conservative, and noted that Apple could easily ship higher volumes. Subsequent events have shown iSuppli’s characterization to be correct.
“iSuppli believes that the only limitation on iPad sales now is production—and not demand,” Alexander says. “Apple has taken a very controlled approach introducing this product to new markets, with manufacturing limitations likely being the major inhibitor on how quickly iPad sales expand.”
iSuppli’s believes that Apple can hit the new unit sales figure within the 19 countries it has already announced for 2010 distribution. Production capacity for the iPad’s projective capacitive screen is increasing daily with new vendors entering the market, expanding production at existing sites and improvements in yield rates at the established producers.
While yields on the finished screens reportedly remain well below a desirable level of 90% the expansion in capacity should provide sufficient touch panels to meet iSuppli’s iPad shipment target. Arguably, Apple could further increase its 2010 production goals, but it risks sacrificing some quality control in that effort. At present, iSuppli estimates Apple will stay close to the existing production targets, leaving room for further expansion in 2011.
To drive continued sales growth, Apple undoubtedly will refresh the iPad’s features in April 2011, says iSuppli. Likely additional changes will embrace an internal camera and expansion of the product line, potentially including additional screen sizes.
Nonetheless, with nearly 84% share in 2010, Apple’s iPad virtually owns the market, and the device is expected to dominate at least through 2012. In comparison, much of the competition delayed launching rival offerings following the iPad debut to allow time to reconfigure products.
For their part, Asus and Acer are expected to release consumption tablets in the fourth quarter of 2010 — joining the likes of Dell, JooJoo, and Germany’s WePad — but competition from Apple competitors is not expected to be significant before 2011, when Hewlett-Packard and others are expected to enter the fray, says iSupplie.
To be sure, the major challenge for Apple competitors will revolve less around hardware but relate more to the suite of applications that can be paired with the hardware, adds the research group. Just like the iPhone, the rest of the market is feverishly playing catch-up to the iPad at this point. | <urn:uuid:fff4dea9-37d0-43ea-bd63-c7c41e93e06d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.mactech.com/2010/07/20/isuppli-ups-ipad-forecast/ | 2024-04-19T12:49:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.950698 | 781 |
In August last year we devoted our Illuminating Magdalen article to some of the papers of Sir Douglas Dodds-Parker (1909–2006; C. 1927–30), concentrating on his years in the Sudan in the 1930s.
As we said at the time, the Dodds-Parker papers form a most significant collection, covering every aspect of his long and varied life. So for this month we take his story forward a little further, and display some of the papers in the collection relating to his activities during the Second World War.
As war loomed in Europe, so Dodds-Parker felt that his place should be nearer home. He therefore resigned from the Sudan Political Service, and returned to Britain to join the Grenadier Guards. Soon afterwards he was recruited to the Special Operations Executive (SOE), and spent most of the rest of the war working for them as a senior operative. Dodds-Parker himself wrote about these experiences in his book Setting Europe Ablaze (Springwood, 1983).
Inevitably, many contemporary documents relating to Dodds-Parker’s wartime activities were destroyed, but a few are preserved in his papers. We also have many documents from later years in which he reminisces about and analyses his life and work during this remarkable period.
Throughout the war, Dodds-Parker took an interest in many aspects of the SOE’s work, in particular their attempts to fly special agents into occupied Europe. However, his first significant project was to help drive the Italians out of Ethiopia in 1941, and reinstate Haile Selassie as Emperor there. This was a project which must have appealed especially to Dodds-Parker, after he had visited Ethiopia under Italian occupation in 1939.
This photograph shows Dodds-Parker (second from the right) and a team who had made a reconnaissance for a route to return the Emperor to his country. As it happened, the route chosen for this trip proved impassable.
The next major project to involve Dodds-Parker was “Operation Anthropoid”. This was a plan to assassinate Reinhard Heydrich, one of Hitler’s senior henchmen, who played a leading role in the planning of the Holocaust, and who was Deputy Reich Protector of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. The plan succeeded: in June 1942, Heydrich was attacked and badly wounded in Prague, and died from blood poisoning related to his injuries.
This is a card sent to Dodds-Parker in 2001, on his 92nd birthday from Major General A. Perak, who had helped the SOE train Heydrich’s assassins. By now he and Dodds-Parker were the last surviving members of “Anthropoid”.
When North Africa fell to the Allies in late 1942, Dodds-Parker moved there. When French North Africa fell in November 1942, one of the senior members of the Vichy Government, Admiral Jean Darlan, had been in Algiers, and was unable to get away. Six weeks later, on Christmas Eve, Darlan was assassinated by one of SOE’s French instructors, to whom Dodds-Parker, then in Algiers, had issued a pistol. SOE’s role in the assassination has been much debated, but many on the Allied side believed that Darlan’s removal was for the better.
Dodds-Parker remained in North Africa after the Darlan affair, and was appointed Operations Officer for an SOE Mission, called “Massingham”, which aimed to establish bases in the northern Mediterranean.
This pair of photographs shows the “Massingham” headquarters when Dodds-Parker revisited them in 1976. He can be seen standing outside the building.
While based in Massingham, Dodds-Parker received several important visitors, including George VI, travelling incognito as “General Lyon”. Another was the Foreign Secretary and future Prime Minister, Anthony Eden, who wrote to thank Dodds-Parker for his hospitality.
One of Massingham’s greatest triumphs was to assist in the invasion of Italy. It seems that Dodds-Parker himself played a significant, if still obscure, role in negotiating the surrender of Italy in 1943.
This menu was created for members of the Special Forces, including Dodds-Parker, who were celebrating Christmas Day 1943 in Naples. One would like to know what the “Trick Soup” contained!
After the USA entered the war in 1941, Dodds-Parker liaised regularly with members of the Office for Strategic Services (OSS), the American counterpart to SOE, and once again established many lifetime friendships as a result.
One such colleague was the Hollywood star Douglas Fairbanks Jr., who, in his addition to his acting talents, proved an invaluable member of the US special forces teams. This letter from Fairbanks to Dodds-Parker shows that they became good friends.
In later life, especially after his retirement from active politics in 1975, Dodds-Parker took a great interest in SOE matters. He and his wife regularly attended SOE reunions and conferences, and he was more than once interviewed on television documentaries. He also became Chairman of the Special Forces Club. Dodds-Parker also maintained close friendships with SOE and Resistance members in many other countries, especially in France and Italy.
This invitation to a reception at Clarence House from May 1972 for members of the French Resistance who had helped members of SOE is very typical of the many occasions which the Dodds-Parkers attended after the war. Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, the hostess of this reception, was a lifelong supporter of such Special Forces reunions.
As the Second World War came to an end in Europe, so Dodds-Parker turned his thoughts to what he should do next, and decided to begin a fresh career as a politician. In the 1945 election, therefore, he stood as the Conservative candidate for North Oxfordshire and was elected their MP. | <urn:uuid:b09b19b4-08bb-4b9b-bc81-d54b09c88133> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.magd.ox.ac.uk/blog/an-englishman-at-war-sir-douglas-dodds-parker-and-the-soe-1940-5/ | 2024-04-19T13:23:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.986213 | 1,271 |

8/28/2018 Cheap airlines are getting better and better.
Newer offerings in new routes. More options to choose from such as print your own tickets, online check-in, are getting better as well. This is very good for fliers whose budget cannot afford the amenities and the frills of the regular airlines. The key here is providing value to the point that customers are eager to try on without sacrificing a lot of dollars for the whole experience. The safety, comfort, and overall no-frills experience are what counts at the end of the day. Beware, if you do not read the fine print, you get charge for every little thing. Little thing that we take for granted but adds costs to the operations. When did you start to think about your organization's value addition to your customers? Is it the price, comfort, peace of mind, guarantees, "the relationship," or the expertise your provide? or how about the lethal combination of these musts. In these days, standing out in the market is not being the loudest or the most noisy product or service. It is about the filling the gaps, combining the best value for your offer, and ensuring a follow-through of a great experience.

5/26/2021 The best organizations are constantly unlearning not just learning constantly.
There a big difference between those who are always challenging themselves versus those who are already feeling that they have reached and arrived. A few comments I have heard through the years where external help is rejected on the basis of: If it's not invented here, it wont work. We are pretty good at what we do. We have another consultant that we 're still working on. We don't need another external person to know our problems. The current Board or Executive will not support this intervention. Our Request for Proposal is our vehicle for getting help. Our priorities right now are very different from the last Executive Director. We don't have a budget for this kind of exercise. All these are excuses and should not be seriously considered. The best organizations do recognize that 'if there's a will, there's a way.' Unlearning should happen before actual learning happens. Bringing a resource is a matter of strategy and an asset that can be deployed when needed, not when the organization is in a critical condition. Past success is never a predictor for future success.

One of the most surprising games that came out this year, Stray lets you play as a cat in a post-apocalyptic city inhabited by robots.
The gameplay consists of platforming and doing tasks specifically for a feline, like knocking things off the ledge, scratching doors, jumping, and running around.
It is not as action-packed as the other games, but it gave players a glimpse of how cats live their lives.
Stray is available on Playstation 4, Playstation 5, and Windows PC.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus
Nintendo and Game Freak switched things up (no pun intended) with its Pokemon Legends: Arceus for the Nintendo Switch.
The game allowed players to roam freely in Hisui, the bygone era of the Sinnoh region mixed with the core elements of past pokemon games.
Fans of pokemon games loved the step Nintendo took as it gave the game a fresh breath of air.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is available on Switch
Roll7’s OlliOlli World is a vibrant, cute skateboarding platformer that makes players pull off many gravity-defying moves.

Hummingbirds had such a fantastic trip to the cathedral and Verulamium Park today. We explored the different areas of the cathedral and were blown away by how beautiful is!

We then went to see the Roman wall in the park and walked around the lake, spotting all the different signs of spring. We were delighted to see a nest of coots and some very large carp! | <urn:uuid:eb67e9ad-8a14-4ce5-857e-5023933e8c82> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.margaretwix.herts.sch.uk/news/detail/year-1-visit-st-albans-as-part-of-their-local-stud/ | 2024-04-19T13:20:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.984266 | 94 |

Not many countries have had the same success in dealing with marijuana in the same way that Spain has. Because of the many loopholes that can be found in their cannabis laws and regulations, Spain has many different ways to offer both citizens and tourists a wonderful marijuana experience. Now, many of you may have heard that cannabis is publicly accepted and widely used around the provinces of Spain. But there is actually much more to learn about the cannabis industry in that country. For one, it may surprise people to learn that it is not entirely legalized yet.
In this article, we will give you guys little details about the cannabis scene and legality in Spain. Additionally, we will go over some of the rules and regulations that people should remember when taking a trip down to Spain for its cannabis wonders. Knowing and understanding these rules can really help guide people into avoiding any legal issues with local enforcers.
HISTORY OF MARIJUANA IN SPAIN
Spain was one of the first countries across Europe to discover and make use of the cannabis plant. During early times, Spanish civilizations frequently cultivated and harvested the cannabis plant for its nutritious health benefits and richness in fibers. Because it was a very natural growing commodity that had multiple purposes, the cannabis plant became a part of Spain’s commonly traded items during its many expeditions around the world. It is often credited for introducing marijuana to many other nations. Because of its high trade value, the cannabis industry in Spain was very lively during the early 1800s.
Despite the majority of the world banning the use of marijuana during the early 1900s, Spain was one of the last countries to ever consider placing legal restrictions on the drug. While it did eventually have to adhere to the Narcotics Act, Spain was also very lax with the policies that it implemented on the uses of marijuana.
MARIJUANA IN SPAIN TODAY
Spain is well-known for its tropical climates and sunny days which make it an ideal place to grow your cannabis plants. And true enough, there are quite a lot of personal cannabis growers in this nation. It has become quite a common activity so long as it takes place in private. And while many people cultivate their own cannabis seeds, there are also a number of online websites that you can purchase your weed seeds from. Marijuana seedbanks such as Crop King Seeds, Sonoma Seeds, SunWest Genetics, Beaver Seeds, and Rocket Seeds are all great choices that ship to international waters such as Spain.
Despite it being illegal to distribute and traffic marijuana in Spain, the numerous inconsistencies in the cannabis laws have allowed many cannabis clubs to be established in this country. These places allow its citizens and visitors to enjoy the public marijuana scene of Spain although the legal status of these places is quite complicated. Overall, marijuana is a very commonly used substance in Spain and most people can find open ways on how to enjoy it here. With festivals and parties abundant in Spain, there is no doubt that cannabis will find its way into your social life when visiting there.
LEGALIZATION MARIJUANA IN SPAIN: IS IT POSSIBLE?
Despite the open use of the substance in Spain, cannabis laws are actually quite strict in this region. The distribution and shipping of marijuana and cannabis seeds can result in your arrest. Additionally, when people in public are found with an unreasonably large amount of marijuana in their possession, they can be charged with a fine of up to €30,000. When citizens plan on cultivating their own cannabis seeds, this must be done in their private households and away from public sight. Also, the purpose of this cultivation must be for personal use only. It must be done in private or any designated smoking areas such as cannabis clubs.
Cannabis legalization for both medical and recreational purposes may not seem like a problem in Spain because of the many different ways in which people can acquire their marijuana. However, people must consider that it must be fully legalized in order to avoid any fines and jail time for cannabis activities. Spain looks to be well on its way to legalizing marijuana in the near future. Until then, it is still a great place to spend your marijuana holidays in. | <urn:uuid:81561f3a-d5bb-4052-b8d4-74dd1b0e6275> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.marijuanatravels.com/buy-cannabis-seeds-spain/ | 2024-04-19T12:26:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.978329 | 843 |
Irish moss, sea moss, and Icelandic moss are touted in the natural product industry as beneficial and mineral rich plants that you can add to your health and beauty routine.

Jim Simons is the legendary founder of quantitative hedge fund Renaissance Technologies, commonly referred to as RenTec. The mathematician graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and took what he learned and applied it to financial markets.
At age 38 he founded RenTec and he's been wildly successful (just see his Medallion Fund returns here). Simons retired from RenTec in 2009, but the firm full of scientists lives on.
Simons gave a lecture at MIT in 2010 about mathematics, common sense, good luck, and his various careers. Given that he rarely gives interviews, this lecture is well worth a view.
Embedded below is the full video of Jim Simons' lecture (email readers click to come read). He begins at the 10-minute mark and talks investment management at the 28-minute mark:
You can also view another rare interview with Jim Simons here.
Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio recently put out a research paper entitled, "An In-Depth Look at Deleveragings." Given that Bridgewater is the top hedge fund by net gains since inception and that Dalio doesn't give his views in public that often, this 30+ page paper is surely a must-read.
In summary, the piece basically says that deleveraging in the purest sense of the word equals debt reduction and debt monetization. Dalio writes that "good" deleveraging stimulates economies via monetary stimulation and that "bad" deleveragings cause recessions and in turn, usually deflation.
To compare and contrast the two, he walks through six periods as examples of each: The Great Depression, Japan's lost decade, the UK from 1947-69, the US financial crisis, as well as Weimar Republic's hyperinflation.
Put your macro hat on via the full article below: Ray Dalio on Deleveragings
Those who have followed Dalio's scarce appearances also know that he has a dim view of the economy this year. For more from the legendary manager, head to Dalio's interview with Charlie Rose.

Howard Marks of Oaktree Capital is out with a new memo entitled, "Deja Vu All Over Again." In it, he talks about how history often repeats itself and how investors can learn and take advantage of such situations. Additionally, he focuses on "the herd" and how they're often wrong at extremes.
At the heart of the matter, Marks' latest memo centers on contrarian signals. He references "The Death of Equities," a BusinessWeek magazine article from August, 1979. At the time, the article was supposed to signal a 'tectonic shift' in investing.
The irony, of course, is that the negative article actually signaled the beginning of the greatest bull market in history. Investors who utilize contrarian signals will of course point to that as a prime example of the media highlighting extreme negative sentiment that in actuality represents an opportunity.
"Likewise, in this case, according to the writer, it will take a bull market to attract investor interest and confidence. That sounds reasonable. But isn't investor interest and confidence a prerequisite for a bull market? Without it, how can a bull market get started?
The answer is that when prices are low enough, stocks can begin to rise without help from a full-fledged bull market, just as when they're high enough, stock prices can collapse under their own weight.
The bottom line here is simple, and I'm thoroughly convinced of it: Common sense isn't common. The crowd is invariably wrong at the extremes. In the investing world, everything that's intuitively obvious is questionable and everything that's important is counter-intuitive."
This kind of timeless education is exactly why we highlight Marks' memos. For more insight from the manager, be sure to read his book: The Most Important Thing.

Value investors love to follow everything that is Warren Buffett. This is the first time we've really seen an in-depth tour of Warren Buffett's office in Omaha, Nebraska at Berkshire Hathaway.
Some notable takeaways from the tour: Above a door, a sign that reads "Invest like a champion today." Also, Warren Buffett's office doesn't have a computer in it. Instead, he utilizes the phone and reads physical copies of annual reports. Old school.

Lee Ainslie's hedge fund firm Maverick Capital finished 2011 with their flagship Maverick Fund down 14.7% for the year. Their Levered Fund was down 30.7% for the year while their Long Fund was down 17.5%.
Today we present excerpts from Maverick's year-end letter where they outline how they've learned from their mistakes and how increased volatility and high correlations have affected them.
On Risk Management
Ainslie said that it was the firm's darkest year. The reason for the underperformance? He writes,
"While the environment for fundamental investing was certainly unfavorable last year, such factors do not fully account for our results. Maverick's poor performance was primarily driven by a handful of individual mistakes and insufficient risk constraints."
In order to address risk management, they've implemented MavRank, a quantitative system driven by fundamental inputs that helps make recommendations for position sizing. While Ainslie stressed that all decisions will still be made by humans, the full implementation of quant tools is interesting.
Ainslie turned then turned his focus to volatility, highlighting some interesting datapoints:
"In late October last year the trailing 60 day volatility of the S&P 500 index exceeded 37% for only the fourth time since 1938. The alarming aspect to me is the increasing frequency with which the equity markets have displayed this level of volatility since 1938:
Years that Volatility Exceeded 37%: 1988, 2002, 2008, 2011
Years Since Prior Occurrence: 50, 14, 6, 3
The fact that recent volatility surpassed anything seen in a fifty year period is staggering - especially when one considers that during that time the world suffered through World War II, the Cuban missile crisis, a Presidential assassination, the dollar going off the gold standard, New York City on the verge of bankruptcy, the OPEC oil embargo, US 10 year treasuries yielding over 15%, and the S&L crisis - just to name a few of the events that today's markets might find a tad unsettling.
So why do the markets appear less resilient to such developments today? There are many factors, but I believe globalization, high levels of debt, uncertain regulatory environments, extreme monetary policies, unsustainable fiscal policies and the resulting currency uncertainties all play major roles. The more important question, in my mind, is 'will it continue?' Given that the aforementioned factors are all likely to persist, and in some cases further deteriorate, it is hard to believe the answer is 'no.'
This leads to our conclusion that volatility spikes are likely to continue to occur more frequently, and, therefore, future levels of equity volatility are likely to be higher than those seen in the past. As a result, going forward we will seek to continue to maintain volatility in the 10-12% range in our core funds, even though we expect this level of volatility is likely to be less than half of the equity market's volatility. To help achieve this objective, we have lowered our long-held gross exposure target to 225% from 250%(our long-term average gross exposure has been 248%), among other steps. (We have also decided to maintain our 1.5:1 long/short ratio, which translates to a slight reduction in our target net exposure from 50% to 45%.)"
On the Investment Environment
Ainslie also touched on a subject that many investors have been fixated on: correlation. He writes,
"Last year intra-stock correlations reached all-time highs, surpassing even the levels seen in 1929 and 2008. In other words, stocks moved in tandem with one another to a degree never before seen and were less responsive to idiosyncratic risks, such as fundamental factors, than ever before.
Such an environment is clearly challenging for long/short investors who rely upon stock prices being responsive to fundamental differences among companies. These challenges were evidenced in the small number of positions that generated significant returns for us last year."
Ainslie goes on to point out that January 2012 marked a break in high correlations. However, he still points out that, "equities have maintained correlation above the long-term average for almost six years now, creating a sustained, unfavorable headwind for fundamental investors."
For more from this hedge fund, we've also posted up Ainslie on the impact of fund size on returns.

Strategist Jeff Saut's latest market commentary is entitled 'Lose Cash.' In it, he talks about how the market is off to its eighth best start of the year as managers have put cash to work. However, he's still not ready to shed his cautious stance. Why?
Well, he highlights the divergence between stock prices and US Economic data trends in April 2011 and thinks a similar situation is occurring now. Saut feels that "all the good news is on the table" and points out other signs of concern such as massive insider selling, as well as falling 10 year Treasury prices (rising rates).
Saut reiterates that he is not getting "too bearish" because he expects stocks to be higher at the end of the year. But it does sound as though he expects a pullback in the intermediate term. Last week we detailed how Saut says to position your portfolio this year.
He also recommended two stocks that have declined recently for "one-off" reasons: Acme Packet (APKT), Nuance (NUAN), and Vocus (VOCS).

Continuing the stock of the week series, this time around the focus is on why Lee Ainslie's hedge fund Maverick Capital owns Amdocs (DOX). If you missed last week's, be sure to also check out why George Soros owns Comverse Technology.
The following is written by Tsachy Mishal, portfolio manager of TAM Capital Management:
It often happens that when owning a company, I stumble across one of their competitors or another company in their industry and end up owning them as well. I came across Amdocs (DOX) when researching last week's stock of the week, Comverse Technology (CMVT) as they are competitors. Amdocs is a large position for tiger cub Lee Ainslie's Maverick Capital.
Amdocs makes billing and customer relationship software for telecom companies. They are the leader in their industry with 28% market share, three times the share of their closest competitor. Amdocs generally signs 5 to 8 year contracts with their customers so revenue visibility is high. These long term contracts account for 75%-80% of their business.
DOX trades at less than 10 times this year's expected free cash flow and less than nine times next year's (EV/FCF). Profit growth is expected to be in the mid single digits but with share repurchases EPS growth is expected in the mid teens.
What I Like:
- The valuation is very attractive for a company with such high earnings visibility.
- Amdocs repurchased approximately 10% of their shares outstanding last year and is set to do the same again this year.
- No major contracts are set to renew until 2014, making visibility especially good for the next 2 years.
- There are high switching costs to move to a competitor.
- Amdocs is by far the leader in the industry.
What I Don't Like:
- A single customer, AT&T, accounts for 29% of revenue.
- The business is tied to a single industry, albeit a good one.
I originally looked at Amdocs in order to get a comp for Comverse Technology (previous analysis here) but after studying the company I had little choice but to buy a position in it. A market leading company, with high visibility, that is returning cash to shareholders should not be trading at a single digit multiple (EV/FCF).

In 2015, the Golden State accounted for 60 percent of all wine shipments to the United States, according to the Wine Institute. At 229 million cases, with an estimated retail value of $31.9 billion, last year represented an all-time high for California’s wine sales. When considering both domestic and international shipments, California sold 276 million cases, also a record.
Commercial vineyards have been around in California since the 1800s. One reason for such tremendous demand, brags
The Wine Cellar Insider, is the uniqueness of California’s wines, which, in turn, stems from the divergent array of the soil, topography, and climate throughout the state. In total, California has more than 525,000 acres planted for wine grapes. Of that acreage, 95,000 are devoted to Chardonnay, and 80,000 to Cabernet Sauvignon, the two most popular grapes.
Within all this land, about 110 different American Viticultural Areas (AVA) exist. The Wine Cellar Insider defines an AVA as a specific area for distinct wine-growing grapes, with its own soils, microclimate and terroir, leading to a specific style of wine that is only produced in that area.
The Wine Institute attributes the continued performance of California wines to their outstanding quality and value. In addition, sustainable growing practices and marketing efforts that have educated consumers create ongoing interest.
All those sales make California the largest wine producing state in the country, and the fourth largest wine producer in the world. Because wine is such an important part of California’s economy, the Board of Equalization (BOE) has created a new, online
Sales Tax Guide for Winemakers (Guide) to help California’s winemakers learn what they need to know about sales and use taxes. In a September 2016
Special Notice, the BOE highlights some of the details contained in the Guide:
- Common tax issues
- A winery operator is considered to be a manufacturer because he transforms one product (grape) into another (wine);
- As a manufacturer, a winery operator may qualify for a partial sales and use tax on the purchases of certain equipment, and leases;
- A vineyard operator may qualify for partial exemptions on certain purchases of farm equipment.
- Application of tax rules to ingredients and products used in the winemaking process
- Some sales may not be subject to tax, depending on whether they qualify as food products, raw materials, or manufacturing aids.

Applications are now open for The McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism, a new program at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism to support in-depth, ambitious coverage of critical issues related to the U.S. economy and business.
In an age when many news organizations no longer have resources to tackle complex, time-consuming stories, the McGraw Fellowships will enable accomplished journalists to do the deep reporting needed to produce a distinguished investigative, analytic or narrative business story. Each McGraw Fellow will receive a stipend of $5,000 a month for up to three months.
The Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Center for Business Journalism, which opened in January at the CUNY J-School, will award the Fellowships. The McGraw Center is dedicated to enhancing the depth and quality of business news coverage through training, scholarships and support for veteran journalists. In addition to financial backing, the McGraw Center will provide Fellows with editorial guidance and assistance in placing their stories with established print, radio or digital outlets.
The McGraw Fellowships are open to journalists with at least five years professional experience. Freelance journalists, as well as reporters and editors currently working at a news organization, may apply. Applicants must submit a well-developed story idea, three professional work samples, and two letters of reference.
Applications will be accepted periodically through 2014. The upcoming deadline for proposals is May 15, 2014. Further information is available at www.mcgrawcenter.org .
Funded by the family of the late Harold W. McGraw, Jr., the former chairman and CEO of McGraw-Hill and long-time publisher of BusinessWeek, the Center is led by Jane Sasseen, a financial journalist with 30 years experience covering global business and economics for BusinessWeek and Yahoo News; her work has also appeared in the New York Times, Newsweek and the Christian Science Monitor. She is a recipient of the Gerald Loeb Award, the top prize for financial journalism in America. Steve Shepard, editor of BusinessWeek for 20 years and the founding dean of the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism, is faculty advisor to the Center.
The CUNY Graduate School of Journalism in midtown Manhattan is the only publicly supported graduate journalism school in the Northeast. Led by Dean Sarah Bartlett, the School offers a 16-month Master of Arts in Journalism program that includes a required paid professional summer internship. It was first in the nation to offer an M.A. in Entrepreneurial Journalism. | <urn:uuid:a275ab03-0e5a-4db8-8312-17413db00be9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.mcgrawcenter.org/2014/03/27/cuny-j-school-launches-new-business-journalism-fellowships/ | 2024-04-19T11:23:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.955003 | 513 |

Faye Webster loves the feeling of a first take: writing a song, then heading to the studio with her band to track it live the very next day. When you listen to the Atlanta songwriter's poised and plainspoken albums, you can hear why: she channels emotions that are so aching, they seem to be coming into existence at that very moment.
"One of my favorite things about songwriting is taking thoughts that people don't really think are worthy, or might overlook, and highlighting them," Webster says. "I like saying things that everybody thinks, but nobody's saying".
At any given moment, Webster might be making country-tinged indie rock flecked simultaneously by pedal steel guitar and modern R&B production and songwriting techniques-a bespoke sound which has won her ardent fans and turned her into something of a stealth superstar beloved by everyone from southern hip-hop heads and alt-rock tastemakers.
The title of Faye Webster's new album is inspired by her occasional compulsion to lose herself amongst concertgoers at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. Craving company and distraction but also leaning into the anonymity of a bustling crowd, Webster often bought a ticket to a performance at the last possible second. "Going to the symphony was almost like therapy for me," she says. "I was quite literally underdressed at the symphony because I would just decide at the last moment that that's what I wanted to do. I got to leave what I felt like was kind of a shitty time in my life and be in this different world for a minute."

Ah, sleep – that elusive, wonderful realm of rest where our bodies rejuvenate and our minds wander through the landscapes of dreams. But what if, instead of being a distant fantasy, a good night's sleep could be aided by something as down-to-earth as magnesium? Yes, you read that right. Magnesium, that humble mineral found in everyday foods and supplements, might just be the key to unlocking your best sleep ever. In this article, we're delving into the perplexing relationship between sleep and magnesium, uncovering the truths, addressing the misconceptions, and guiding you through this journey of understanding. So, grab your cozy blanket and let's dive in!
The Slumber-Inducing Duo: Sleep and Magnesium
Ever found yourself tossing and turning in bed, wrestling with the elusive Sandman who seems to be playing hide-and-seek? You're not alone. Sleep troubles are like those unexpected guests who arrive uninvited and stay way past their welcome. But here's where magnesium swoops in like a silent hero. Magnesium aids in sleep like a prescription for tranquility, yet without the bothersome side effects that often accompany those fancy sleep-inducing medicines. You see, some of those pharmaceutical remedies might be as problematic as they are helpful for some people. But fear not, for nature has its own solution – magnesium-rich foods and supplements.
Tablets and Supplements: Your Slumber Superheroes
Picture this: you're lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, counting imaginary sheep in a futile attempt to coax yourself into slumber. You've heard about valerian root and melatonin, those names that sound like mystical enchantments. But here's the secret – magnesium might just be the wand you need. However, before you rush to grab the first bottle of magnesium tablets you see, there's a note of caution. Magnesium has a recognized laxative effect, which is perhaps not the dreamiest scenario when considering a good night's sleep.
Magnesium: More Than Just Pumpkin Seeds
Let's talk about pumpkins – they're not just for carving spooky faces. In fact, they're like the unsung heroes of the vegetable world, packed with magnesium goodness. But here's the thing: relying solely on pumpkin seeds might not be the easiest way to supplement your magnesium intake. Enter the magnificence of multivitamins. These handy dandy capsules are like the superheroes of the supplement world, delivering a diverse blend of nutrients, including magnesium, without the need for a pumpkin seed feast.
Absorbability: The Magnesium Game Changer
Now, let's unravel the mystery of absorption. It's like your body's VIP entrance for nutrients. When it comes to magnesium, not all forms are created equal. There's magnesium aspartate, citrate, lactate, and chloride, each with its unique attributes. But here's the real deal: some forms are easier for your body to absorb than others. It's like choosing between a door with a doorknob that's practically begging to be turned and one that's just a tad too complicated. Among these options, magnesium citrate takes the crown for being the easiest to absorb. So, when you're perusing the supplement aisle, keep this nugget of wisdom in mind.
Organic vs. Medicinal: The Battle of Choices
Now, imagine you're presented with two paths: one lined with prescription medications and the other with organic remedies. Which one would you choose? There's a tendency among modern humans to lean toward the “organic” label, and for good reason. While medications might have their appeal, the preference for natural goods is deeply ingrained in our collective psyche. But, beware of the addictive potential of some sleep medications. They might lure you in with the promise of immediate slumber, but the price could be much steeper than you'd like to pay.
Unraveling the Insomnia Enigma
Are you one of those people who consider themselves “prospective sound sleepers” yet have an uncanny knack for difficulty falling and staying asleep? Don't worry; you're not alone in this nighttime adventure. Sleep expert Buenaver suggests that this could be due to the side effects of our modern lifestyles. The screens we're glued to emit a bright blue light that's akin to the early morning sun, messing up our body's internal sleep clock. But fear not, for the wonders of melatonin might just come to your rescue.
The Quest for Efficacy: Magnesium and Sleep
Ah, the everlasting debate – does magnesium really do the trick, or is it just another hype? The results of current research are like a mixed bag of surprises, playing peek-a-boo with our expectations. According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, the investigation into magnesium's sleep-enhancing prowess yields inconsistent results. It's like a puzzle where some pieces fit perfectly, while others just don't seem to belong. Nonetheless, there's a glimmer of hope. Some studies suggest that when used correctly, magnesium can boost sleep quality and decrease sleep latency, which is the time it takes to fall asleep.
The Melatonin Marvel: A Hormone's Role in Sleep
Imagine your body as a grand theater, and sleep is the star performance. Now, introducing the hormone melatonin as the director of this theatrical masterpiece. Melatonin plays a crucial role in the production and release of this play we call sleep, with its cues tightly connected to the time of day. As darkness creeps in, melatonin's presence increases, guiding your body toward a restful slumber. But as the sun begins to stretch its rays across the sky, melatonin's production takes a bow, allowing you to awaken to a new day.
Expert Insights: A Glimpse into the Science
Ever wondered what a doctor has to say about the sleep-magnesium connection? Dr. Rafael Sepulveda Acosta, a board-certified physician with a treasure trove of experience in internal medicine and pediatric and adult obesity, weighs in on the topic. Based in the northern realms of California, Dr. Acosta encounters sleep-related issues in his practice more often than you'd think. He believes that while the sleep-magnesium link is not a silver bullet, it's certainly a piece of the puzzle. He advises caution when considering supplements and emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to sleep health.
In a world where the mysteries of sleep still often elude us, magnesium stands as a potential ally, ready to aid us in our quest for a restful night's slumber. While the perplexing relationship between sleep and magnesium might not be fully unraveled, the journey of discovery is an exciting one. From multivitamins to magnesium-rich foods, from melatonin's backstage magic to the cautionary tales of sleep medications, there's a world of possibilities waiting for you to explore. So, as you embark on this journey, armed with the knowledge of the sleep-magnesium connection, may your nights be peaceful and your dreams be as vivid as the daylight itself. | <urn:uuid:4f18441d-6c62-4e4a-a859-2b12b27fac6e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.mcnewsletters.com/supplements-to-help-sleep/ | 2024-04-19T11:44:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.940856 | 1,461 |

Eczema is the name for a group of inflammatory skin conditions that cause the skin to become itchy, red, swollen and cracked. It is often a chronic (long lasting) condition, though it can improve significantly and usually clears completely over time.
Eczema more commonly affects young children, often developing before the age of one, but can also affect teenagers and adults. It is estimated that 1 in 5 children in the UK is affected by eczema at some stage.
As there are also other types of eczema, identifying your eczema is key to getting the right treatment.
If you’re ready to get help now you can book an online GP appointment to discuss your skin with a doctor, or refer yourself to a specialist dermatologist using the links below. | <urn:uuid:e2c67ce2-62f2-4b97-82e7-2a73abf6a4a5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.medicspot.co.uk/health-guides/eczema | 2024-04-19T12:46:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.971809 | 162 |

Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry Research
A wide variety of research opportunities exist within the section of C-L Psychiatry,
collaborating with other specialties and the basic sciences. The clinical locations
of the University Medical Center and the embedded clinics afford the interested fellow
a selected patient base to engage in clinical trials.
An ongoing collaborative effort with screening and treating Trauma Patients at the
Spirit of Charity Trauma Center Psychiatry Research Unit serves as the cornerstone
for the fellows' engagement with the research process and individual projects are
encouraged. The C-L Psychiatry faculty will aid any interested fellow in pursuing
research and learning how to comply with the appropriate regulatory agencies. While
a research project isn't required, it is expected that each fellow will present a

Amanda and Danny, what can I say.. over the past year this sweet couple has become very dear to me. We first got together for a portrait session in Old Town Alexandria (over here!). Since then, I’ve been able to photograph them again for their save the date session, and a little one-on-one with Amanda for a special boudoir session (an awesome gift to her hubby!). So naturally, when the time came to be with them for their ‘Take Two’ wedding day, it was pure magic! We all were so comfortable with one another, and they were so excited to recapture their vows. The ceremony and reception were both at The Winery at Bull Run and it could not have been a more GORGEOUS October day.
Danny had no idea what Amanda and I had been up to for his wedding gift 🙂
Amanda and Danny opted for a ‘first look,’ so we had plenty of time to capture the last of the sunlight | <urn:uuid:4d6a0389-249d-4e1e-9a96-173a9b61d572> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.meganannphoto.com/the-atwells-the-winery-at-bull-run/ | 2024-04-19T12:37:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817398.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20240419110125-20240419140125-00268.warc.gz | en | 0.989859 | 206 |
