Personalized Mindset, Marketing and Offer Strategy for Consistent and Predictable $10-20K Months YOUR WAY
CONSISTENT FIVE FIGURE MONTHS in your coaching business does NOT require working 40 hours a week, posting on social media 24/7 or launching something new every month.
I DON’T HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING YOU ALREADY KNOW:
Doing the work is important…and you DO the work.
You do the launches…
You create the content…
and you try your best to show up…
Even when you doubt yourself at times.But, despite all of this effort…
Deep down, you never really know when it’s all going to pay off.
After each launch is over, you finally sit back, relax, and take a deeeeeeep, soothing breath…
But then…REALITY HITS.
1. Now you have to show up at your best and actually DELIVER the program you just sold.
2. AND you have to figure out how to bring in income next month… without killing yourself.
You’re a woman of your word, and you care… so it’s a #1 priority that your clients are happy.
But you also know
if the launch doesn’t bring in as many people as you hoped…
The only Plan B is to launch again.
As soon as possible.
…So your days turn into a merry-go-round of content creation, client-pleasing, and admin work that literally hurts to think about.
THE PRESSURE IS REAL.
Your spouse, relatives, and friends don’t truly “get” what you do…
And some months, you feel ashamed because you’re not rolling in cash the way you thought you’d be right now,
so it’s hard to prove that you’re doing the right thing.
Sure, they’re supportive…but in the back of their minds, you know they’re thinking:
“WHAT A CUTE LITTLE “DREAM” YOU HAVE THERE…
why don’t you just… get a job?”
You know with all of your heart that you are a rockstar at what you do, you are badass as hell, and people NEED what you offer.
And… to give credit where it’s due you DO see glimpses of this!
Little love notes from clients, shout outs on social media and probably some really good income months here and there…
but you’re ready for the REAL recognition and consistent INCOME that the leaders in our space command.
There IS a way to create 5-figure cash months, every month, CONSISTENTLY.
WITHOUT jumping from launch to launch or posting on social media 24/7.
YOU DON’T HAVE TO CONTINUE TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT ON YOUR OWN.
I’m working with a small group of women to generate consistent $10-20k months using my 10 week profit accelerator without having to launch every month or show up on social media 24/7.
Do you want to join us?
I was able to quadruple my investment with new revenue inside the 10K Lab! Inside the program, I finally launched a program I created a year ago AND let go of a program that was no longer aligned. I love the community of women Jenn bought together & I especially how hands on Jenn was. Anything you had questions she was there to answer or share resources to help. Thank you Jenn for fully showing up for us inside the program.
It was so inspiring! And definitely helped fill some gaps I had in my business that allow me to operate at a higher level.I automated pieces for list growth and outreach, $25k banked, made great connections in the group, confidence is at a 10, and feel stronger in my boundaries.
You get results and your work is powerful.
You’ve invested heavily into biz mentorship, so you already know how to market and sell.
But now you’re wondering — at this point in your career —
With AAAALLLLL of your skills and experience…
WHY ARE YOU STILL WORKING SO HARD TO CREATE SOMETHING CONSISTENT?
You KNOW that you could easily make $20-50K per month…
but you don’t wanna be chained to your laptop in the process, or with your phone stuck to your ear on grueling sales calls.
YOU WANT TO BUILD A BUSINESS THAT MAKES SENSE. FOR YOU.
Where you put in your best…for about 4 hours a day.
Then you shut off your computer, put down the phone, and GO LIVE YOUR LIFE.
I’ve generated over 3 Million in online sales AND
I’ve helped over 2,500 women grow their businesses over the last 8 years.
When I made my first million, I figured I’d feel like I “made it”…
But the opposite was actually true.
I was posting on social media aaaaaall the time and
I was CONSTANTLY in launch mode,
creating new offers every month.
I had a son to provide for and expenses to pay. Not to mention there was a pretty sexy lifestyle I wanted to live.
The great thing was…
I had marketing and selling dialed in;
But things changed a LOT in the 7 years after I hit the scene…
The Industry EXPLODED
I unconsciously started sizing myself up next to other entrepreneurs in my space. Wondering if my content was good enough to stand out.
Slowly, I started doubting myself and doing MORE to prove that I was an authority and I lost a piece of myself in the process.
Eventually, I decided
ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH.
I didn’t need to do what the popular coaches were doing to “make it.”
I was sick of the pressure, and sick of feeling (and sometimes acting) like less than I actually was.
I was ALREADY creating multiple 5-figure months, and helping others do the same!
I wanted to bring in even MORE while staying in integrity and alignment, eliminate the noise that distracted me from doing that, and uplevel my identity… so my business genuinely reflected who I was as a person.
And once I did THAT…I WAS FREE.
I didn’t HAVE TO make a bunch of noise or PUSH my business to grow. I didn’t have to dip out of alignment by attempting inauthentic tactics.
Instead, I tapped into my own innate gifts and it began to grow exponentially, with ease, and on MY terms. Now, the confidence I feel — inside and out — as a result of having a congruent business has been life-changing.
And I’d like for it to be life-changing for you, too.
Such an amazing program! I felt like I got a daily support when ever I needed. And our weekly calls were such a good help get better focus and clear some funk. The weeks went so fast and when I looked back, I know I wouldn’t have got so much done all by myself. Jenn is real and warm person who is not afraid to give a gentle kick in behind when needed. Jenn shares her journey to help us to rise and for me that has been so inspiring and helped a lot. I made over $20K and it felt easy and fun!
Love everything about the Lab! By truly discovering what works for me and focusing on it. Jenn is the go to person to up-level your business! – its a unique experience, as you get to take what you need and what feels right, even in a group with others, you truly have a tailor made journey. Yes the financial up-level is amazing, 5k days, Clients throwing their cards at you for offers that feel effortless as they are so aligned – but more than that, for me at this stage in my business its being in an environment where I feel truly supported in so many areas. Working with someone that just gets it, been there and done it and has pockets of knowledge and gems to get you where you need to be is great, But its also an energy that Jenn has which allows you to feel confident and comfortable in the knowing that.
This program is for sure one of the best investments you can make! Not only for the content Jenn is delivering – but much more for the energy, the members and the mindset you will get into, when joining! It’s the first group coaching program I’ve been really consistent and I made about 95K Euros. So be aware – you will be more successful, more visible, more energized and as a side effect: you’ll even make more money! Loved being part of this amazing group!
“Totally transformative! I’m not the person that I was when I started. I’m thinking differently. I’m believing differently. And, most importantly, I’m acting and BEING differently.”
“I banked $51,070 cash! Jenn over-delivers. I got more done in one hour with her than in six months with other courses and programs. She gets right to the point. I feel like I am on my way to rockstar status!”
“I was able to 10x++ my investment back! I loved getting back in touch with my intuition and overcoming my insecurities around my visibility. It’s been huge!”

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
The offer strategy that ensures consistent and predictable five figure months like clockwork without launching every month or being on social media 24/7.
Why Listen To Me?
THAT’S WHY I’M HERE. To help you gain the unstoppable confidence that comes along with making a consistent impact and income.
In the time I worked with Jenn, I grew my group and mailing list by 2000 people – each. I made $80K in revenue and over 3/4 of that was profit. I became further known as an expert in my field. People sought me out to be a guest expert on their telesummits, to be interviewed on their podcasts, etc. AND I signed up over 500 new clients from over 25 countries!
Jenn is a master at helping female entrepreneurs get visible and earn big money online. Like all the best coaches, she leads by example. Jenn has one of the most powerful, compelling voices in the online space. She connects with people’s hearts and souls, and isn’t afraid to speak the truth — which has drawn tens of thousands of people into a community.
I am blown away by the level of quality Jenn brings to every single thing she does. She SCREAMS determination and “I will not be messed with” while at the same time being incredibly down to earth, open, and eager to connect with and ultimately serve and empower her community.
Do whatever you need to do to work with this woman!
“Jenn’s no nonsense, tough love, keep it real (but with a smile and laugh) approach is just what I needed. I did more in 10 weeks than I had done in the last 5 years and brought in over $10K in revenue… including $8,865 in 5 days.”
“I’ve created an additional 50k in revenue, completely filled up my 1:1 coaching at a 5-figure price point, signed done-for-you clients, and I still have more people messaging me! Thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone. I know now that I’m capable of so much more than I thought.”
“I made it to $20k this month AND I’m pretty sure next month will be close to $30k. It wouldn’t have happened without your mindset AND business strategies. I am a different person – not because of the money I am making, but because of the limits I was finally able to leave behind.”
My clients tell me stories like this every day.
Now it’s your turn.
This IS FOR coaches who want to:
This IS NOT for:
“I made over $20K, got about 15-16 features, got connected with Frank Kern, and launched my group program. I am much more confident, showing up more, and giving less of a f*ck about what other people think. I’m way more comfortable selling myself and I know that the right people will come. Everything we got from Jenn was absolute gold!”
“Before this program, I was frustrated & confused. Working with Jenn, I re-gained tons of clarity and confidence that led to signing new clients, multiple automated income streams, and new offerings that I’m SO excited about. I’ve also sold out 2 private group programs and just recently had a $14k week!”
“I have taken more action, more consistently than ever. I launched my course, increased my visibility online, and got 13 feature opportunities. My confidence is through the roof- I really do see myself as a leader. I’m showing up as the $20k/month earner that I want to be! Do yourself a favor- don’t wait as long as I did. Just say yes, you’ll be thankful you did.”
IMAGINE HOW POWERFUL IT WILL FEEL TO…
Say YES to opportunities and things you always wanted, but you were afraid you wouldn’t have the cash to maintain your lifestyle
Make decisions based on alignment, rather than forcing yourself to say “yes” to everything because you need the money.
Look at yourself with a new found respect, because you’re SO PROUD of the abundant life you’ve created.
I’m going to help you claim the freedom, sustainability, and genuine success you’ve worked so hard to create.
Plus…you’ll be able to model everything you learn and teach it to your own clients!
You’ll know in your heart that your strategies really WORK… and that will change lives.
It’s time to leave constant hustle mode behind for good and vibe with your wealthy self.

Ayala Nivin’s FULL House: Reflections on Mothering a Large Family
Ayala Nivin is the mother of 14 children (KA”H!) whom I recently wrote about for the article “Cleaning for Passover Under Fire” about getting ready for Pesach in Ashdod. But I only actually met Ayala in person at her son’s bar mitzvah this month (Ayala’s husband is my teacher, Rabbi Aryeh Nivin).
What really blew me away, right away, about Ayala was how relaxed and genuinely cheerful she seemed despite all the stress of being in the middle of her son’s bar mitzvah and having many, many small kids underfoot (the Nivins have 5 children under the age of 4 and a half, including a set of 3-year-old twins).
So before I left the bar mitzvah, I warned Ayala that I would be calling her to learn her secret that enabled her to be such a happy and calm mother of FOURTEEN! During our conversation the following week, I heard about Ayala’s personal struggles and ups and downs, just like all of us moms. And I also heard about her sense of mission as a Jewish mother that helps her pull through those very tough moments. Here’s what Ayala told me in a conversation last week:
As a child I used to fantasize about having a big family, and as I grew a bit older I was anxious that I might not be able to have children.
So when I discovered that I was pregnant for the first time, I was in Heaven. But I didn’t think about having another child right away. Having a big family wasn’t something that I planned on, but it turned out that that was Hashem’s plan for us.
I think that almost every woman has a deep instinctual need to give to a child. And I’ve always felt that need as well. Because of that, I guess, having a large family just feels natural to me. I also feel like it’s a huge zechus. I feel very, very lucky.
My husband and I both lost family members in the Shoah. My great-grandparents were murdered by the Nazis and my husband’s father and uncle were the lone survivors of their entire extended family. For that reason, my husband also views having many children and raising them to continue in Hashem’s ways to be one of his primary missions in life. He believes, as I do, that this is the best way to rebuild the Jewish people after the murder of 6 million Jews during the Holocaust.
My husband always explains that a Jewish child is the most valuable thing in the world, so that by having many children, he is just being a “very smart businessman.” I guess you could say that we feel like billionaires.
So it feels a bit strange when people who aren’t religious see me and how hard I have to work as the mother of 14, and they give me looks as though they are saying, “You poor thing!” They think that having many children is something low or primitive. Or they’re wondering, “Doesn’t she want to have a career instead?” And you know why they look at me this way? Because they respect a person who has an advanced degree or is a workaholic, but they don’t understand that bringing these holy souls into the world and raising them to be good Jews is one of the greatest achievements possible for a human being.
It’s true that as a mother of many children, my personal needs often get pushed aside. It is a huge challenge staying on top of all the extra clutter and the mess, not to mention all the extra cooking and cleaning that having a large family requires. It’s often very difficult.
But as my children grow, I definitely see the payback from Hashem for all of this hard work. I see my children growing older and becoming real mensches. And this year we are even hoping, G-d willing, to make our first wedding. I really want people to understand that the fact that I work so hard does not mean that I am suffering.
Raising this family is the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but it’s also, without a doubt, my greatest source of satisfaction and pleasure in life.
A few months ago I had a very special experience. My son really wanted me to make him a birthday cake for his class. It was hard for me to find the time to bake a cake, but I put in the extra effort and made my son a really yummy cake, since I knew it was very important to him. And when my son came home that day he went on and on about how it had been the best cake, and how all the boys had loved it, and that they hadn’t even left a single crumb. I understood that that was his way of saying “Thank You.” And that made me feel so grateful, to have a child who really goes so out of his way to make me happy.
And there are so moments of nachas like that, especially now that my children are growing up.
I feel like becoming a mother is like saying “Naaseh v’nishma” just like the Jewish people did during the giving of the Torah. The Jewish people said, “We will do and we will hear” which means they agreed to keep the Torah before they even knew what the Torah said. And that’s what a mother does as well. When a woman becomes pregnant, she accepts upon herself a commitment for an entire lifetime, raising a child she has never seen. This requires true self sacrifice and a tremendous leap of faith. But I feel that Hashem rewards me for this leap of faith. As a mother, I experience such tremendous Siata Dishmaya, such constant Divine Assistance and miracles.
I feel like Hashem sees how much help I need to take care of all these children, and I feel like He gives it. Every single day.
The other day, for example, my son forgot his lunch at home, so I had to bring it to his cheider. And even though I was in a big rush, for some reason I took a moment to write him a nice note to put in with his lunch. And when my son came home that day, I saw how his face was shining with joy, and I suddenly understood just how much that note had meant to him. I could see that Hashem had put that idea into my head so that I could give my child something that he, it turned out, really needed. And there are so many examples of that every week, experiences when I see with my own eyes how Hashem is guiding me and enabling me to care for my children.
One of the most important things that enables me to manage this family is keeping clutter in my home to a minimum. And I have learned that my Olam Hamidos, my mind and heart, also needs to be free of emotional clutter to enable me to care for all these people who are depending on me 24/7. I don’t have room in my mind and heart for the clutter of petty concerns about what others will think of me or guilt or taking minor irritations or mishaps to heart.
Let’s say, for example, that my two-year-old decides he doesn’t like the apple juice I made for him, and he spills it all over the floor. I do need to educate him that he shouldn’t do that again, but as my family grows, I understand that minor mishaps of this nature are not the end of the world! No matter what happens over the course of the day, I do my best to stay calm and keep my cool, and not to let myself get swept up by stressful situations. I know that when I’m calm I’m able to deal with whatever challenges come my way.
The truth is that another real miracle that Hashem made for me is that I’m a much calmer mother today as the mother of 14 than I was as the mother of a smaller family. No doubt about it. I have days, and in fact I have many of them, when many things go wrong.. But I no longer allow myself to get bogged down in guilt like I used to. Not every day feels like a homerun. And that’s OK. I’m not perfect. I’m only human.
Today I know that a Jewish mother’s first commandment is: “Don’t sweat the small stuff.”
When there are tough moments, I just try to connect with my inner sense of Malchus, of royalty, and that really helps. And that leads me to what I feel is the second commandment of Jewish mothers: “Remember you are a queen.”
I really had to work very hard on fulfilling this 2nd commandment since I suffered for many years from low self-esteem. When I was a younger mother, I felt like such a shmata, and I was so incredibly sensitive and my feelings were always getting hurt. But today, I see that when I feel like a queen, that light of royalty and malchus fills my home. When a mother feels like royalty, her kids feel like royalty too. Our family isn’t perfect. We have our issues, like all families.
But I know today that when a mother feels like a queen, despite the inevitable mess and the stress of a growing family, then people will be able to see G-d’s greatness through her and through her home and her children.
I personally feel very connected to the verse “Kavod Hashem Alayich Niglah” from Lecha Dodi, which means “G-d’s glory is revealed upon you.” And that is my ultimate goal as a mother. I pray that I will be able to serve Hashem with love, and to have a wonderful Jewish home, and to raise my kids to love the Torah so that Hashem will look at our family and say “G-d’s glory is revealed through you.” I pray that people will be able to look at my 12-year-old son, for example, and see the light of Kavod Hashem, G-d’s glory, shining through him.
I feel sometimes like I am a security guard watching over a jewelry store. I am guarding these priceless treasures, these Jewish souls. And to be a trustworthy guard of such a priceless treasure I really have to take excellent care of myself and make sure that my needs are met on a spiritual, emotional, and physical level so that I can mother my children with joy.
My children’s pricelessness also means that I have to guard them very carefully. I need to make sure that our home is a comfortable and positive place to be. I need to make sure that my kids are getting the education they need at school and at home. And I need to make sure that my kids will not be injured, G-d forbid, by the tests of this world.
Another way I like to think of things is that our home is like Noah’s Ark. The flood is raging outside these 4 walls. But inside these walls, our home is a bastion of safety and security and holiness.
I once heard a mother of twins say that have having twins is twice the work, and 100 times the nachas. But I feel like having all these kids is 14 times the work, but a million times the nachas.
People say that as mother of a large family you can lose yourself, but my experience has been the opposite. I feel like I’ve become more in touch with myself and who I really am– a queen, and a daughter of the highest King. And that hard-won understanding is yet another one of the great gifts my children have given me. | <urn:uuid:ae6b5444-6c45-40a5-9391-e44b978760e9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://jewishmom.com/2011/05/29/ayala-nivins-14-children-one-womans-reflections-on-mothering-a-large-family/ | 2024-04-20T17:39:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.984578 | 2,547 |

Ed March 24, 2024 at 3:48 pmLog in to Reply To refute the common claim that the Bolshevik revolution was somehow good but only later was perverted under Stalin, read James DeMeo’s meticulously researched book, “Marx Engels Lenin Trotsky: GENOCIDE Quotes–The Hidden History of Communism’s Founding Tyrants, in their Own Words” (2016). These quotes, obviously not intended for wide public consumption, show the founders and original implementers of Communism for what they were in there own words–bloodthirsty totalitarians. More background can be learned by watching the film “The Chekist” (on YouTube etc.), a fictionalized account of a participant in Lenin’s secret police Cheka murder squad (https://youtu.be/X_RSDqBn0bA).

Period. No raise in 2023 for any of us. Kroger and the Union said there was no money for raises that year when negotiating the current contract in October 2022 at the same time they were spending $22.6 billion to merge with Albertson’s. If you look it up, you will see a bunch of paid propagandists parroting what Kroger told them about somehow spending $777 million in 2023 on increasing employee wages and benefits and offering additional training opportunities. Again, I cannot stress enough-NOBODY got a raise in 2023 at Kroger. They supposedly spent $777 million last year increasing our wages and offering additional benefits and the only thing that changed last year was threats of disciplinary action against anyone not doing their new “Fresh Start” computer training each week starting the first of August. That week came and went and the sign threatening that went down for a while. This year, it’s now being threatened that we will have disciplinary action taken against us if we don’t do the Fresh Start training every single day when we first clock in. Does anyone know how that improves my wages or benefits? Where did the $777 million go, Kroger? How come I have a contract with a union, but my employer can just arbitrarily add extra work to my job and not compensate me for doing it?

In today’s fast-paced world, finding time for self-care and relaxation is more crucial than ever. Massage therapy has long been recognized for its ability to reduce stress, alleviate muscle tension, and improve overall well-being. However, the traditional model of visiting a spa or massage studio is not always convenient or accessible for everyone. This is where door-to-door massage services come into play. Offering a host of benefits, from convenience to a personalized experience, door-to-door massage services are becoming increasingly popular. Here, we outline the key reasons why you should consider choosing door-to-door massage.
What is Door-to-Door Massage?
Door-to-door massage 출장마사지, also known as mobile or at-home massage, involves a licensed massage therapist providing massage treatments at the client’s chosen location. This could be at their home, office, hotel room, or any other preferred setting. The therapist brings all the necessary equipment, including a massage table, linens, oils, and music, to create a spa-like environment. | <urn:uuid:89cf5403-07ce-4591-adf3-5d1f309484a7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://jiyugaoka-minami.com/why-choose-door-to-door-massage-%EC%B6%9C%EC%9E%A5%EB%A7%88%EC%82%AC%EC%A7%80/ | 2024-04-20T16:56:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.951744 | 238 |
Maria del Mar Hinojosa enrolled at San Diego Continuing Education to discover ways to sew. You may both strategy that with indignation and conceitedness or understand that you need to at all times question, always search out solutions, never stop studying simply since you are carried out with formal education. To unravel this challenge, you’ll be able to enroll for Mission Administration Professional (PMP) exam prep courses. It doesn’t matter if you are wanting to go back to highschool for a grasp’s degree, get persevering with education credits to your insurance license, or need assistance budgeting a large undertaking. I worth the education and training of medical college students and residents, and I especially respect the persevering with education of training physicians. Your education by no means stops with our Lifelong Learning packages for adults over 50 years of age.
An absolute religion in science and the theory of evolution; a perception that youngsters may very well be taught very very like animals in accordance with the brand new behavioral psychology; a conviction that there was no place for religion in education; and that traditional values were an obstacle to social progress which needed to be removed.
For instance, someone, like myself, who’s licensed as an ophthalmic assistant with 20 years’ experience would probably not need additional education due to the extremely specialised nature of the field and the quantity of expertise they have. Past simply getting ready for the interview, however, getting to work with the sufferers actually shows you if physical remedy is the suitable alternative. These programs provide grownup learners the option of getting in-classroom and on-line studying.
Insurance agents in Florida for example do have to have to finish an examination in the event that they sit in a classroom for his or her continuing education credit. I additionally assume that paradoxically, if you pay for online courses (which I have completed previously), you’re more likely to stick with them to be sure you didn’t simply waste your money. And I do consider there’s a hidden agenda behind the education of our kids.
I have at all times considered taking some classes only for fun and private curiosity and I think this would be a great way to discover that. Distance studying might not be acknowledged by all employers, however the good news is that most employers do acknowledge and recognise on-line education similar to on campus programs. Licensing our bodies in a number of fields (similar to instructing and healthcare) impose continuing education necessities on members who maintain licenses to proceed practicing a selected career. Take a look at-preparation courses that ready human useful resource managers, challenge managers and prospective teachers in certain states for trade-acknowledged exams. | <urn:uuid:d7f6b3ec-6f89-4ed1-b5c4-4c0f4cfe7882> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://jlawrencebrasil.com/so-you-acquired-suspended-from-faculty.html | 2024-04-20T16:47:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.96341 | 554 |

Former Morning Musume. Mari Yaguchi, who was supposed to be at the height of her popularity at the time, disappeared from the entertainment industry after her girlfriend cheated on him.
She returned to terrestrial TV after taking a break for more than a year.
It was thought in the world that it would be difficult to escape from the “drying out” situation.
Perhaps people in the world were also thinking, “I know that the entertainment industry is not that easy.”
However, recently, Mari Yaguchi’s work has been increasing.
Here we will talk about Mari Yaguchi’s work situation.
Mari Yaguchi’s comeback drama
In fact, there aren’t many people who see Mari Yaguchi’s face in the media these days…She seems to be receiving a lot of offers from not only terrestrial TV but especially from the advertising industry.
This is because when they were popular, they were paid 25 million yen per commercial, but now they are paid 5 million yen per commercial, and it seems that the average advertising price has been lowered.
Speaking of Mari Yaguchi’s commercials, she appeared in a commercial for Nissin, but in an unusual incident, the show was canceled after a week.
This commercial became a hot topic with people asking if Mari Yaguchi was making a full return to the entertainment industry, but it was reportedly canceled due to a flood of complaints.
It seems that the world still hasn’t forgiven her.
However, in the advertising business scene, this catchphrase of “I’ll do anything for a low fee” is likely to be weak.
Is Mari Yaguchi a comedian?
Young people who have recently discovered Mari Yaguchi may not be sure whether she is a talent or a comedian.
At the product PR unit press conference held in March 2015…
“Hair Removal Girl” is the PR unit for the women’s beauty salon “Hair Removal Lab.” Former Morning Musume member. Yaguchi was selected along with Nozomi Tsuji (27) and Ai Takahashi (28).
This is Yaguchi’s first time as an advertising character since his return.
Yaguchi, who seemed enthusiastic about this work, said at a press conference held on the 22nd,
“At this salon, it doesn’t hurt at all, so I remove all the hair from below my eyes. Even my sensitive area!”
he said in a harsh way while gushing about his sponsor.
She even made a “Shaved Pussy Declaration” that was unthinkable during her idol days, serving the media.
She even said things that you wouldn’t expect from a former idol.
This is no longer a matter of enthusiasm or anything like that.
I wonder if they are trying to establish a new self-deprecating character by abandoning the original character.
It’s been more than a year since this press conference, but I feel like I’m gradually getting used to the new character and my dislike for it has subsided.
It may be too early for her popularity to recover, but I feel like she’s on the rise and I want to support her.
icon-arrow-right Becky 27 hours live call on TV! A declaration of return from being “punished”? !
Thank you for reading until the end today.

Performance Management In The Pandemic: Becoming Your Best-Self
We’re in a tumultuous business cycle and everyone is concerned about performance: the performance of our company, our teams, and ourselves.
And in the midst of this pandemic, we are ever more concerned with wellbeing, resilience, and growth. How can we best stay productive at home (or at work) when there are so many uncertainties?
Despite the best efforts of every CEO and HR leader, our COVID Business Resilience study shows that only 24% of companies are teaching managers how to support remote teams, 58% do not feel they have the right tools or culture for remote work, and only 41% feel they have adequately trained employees how to be “well” in this new environment.
The answer may not be more training but something different: Creating a culture where everyone can be their “best self.” And our upcoming research on Business Resilience will help prove this to you.
In 2016, I wrote an article entitled “Learning To Be Yourself,” and the focus was to help people understand that only by clearly understanding who you are can you really become the person you want to be.
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
– Oscar Wilde
“Always be a first-rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else.”
– Judy Garland
If you think about your career, you bring a set of talents, skills, and personality traits that are uniquely you. Maybe you’re a gregarious, outgoing person who builds deep empathetic relationships with others. Perhaps you are a quiet, introverted person with deep technical or artistic skills who can analyze data or solve problems in a unique way. Or maybe you’re a charismatic and natural team builder or leader.
And even as you grow, these core traits remain. I recently got together with a group of friends I have known from college, and as we were chatting and laughing together, I realized that despite 30 years of life, families, children, careers, and changes, we are all pretty much the same way we were in college. I remember a comment a friend made to me many years ago: “People don’t really change; they become more and more the same.”
Throughout our careers, we go through tremendous personal and professional development. We learn how to work with people, how to solve problems, how to lead — and we develop a wide array of technical skills. But the way we apply them is unique to each of us, and in the end, we each bring our own unique combination.
From the standpoint of you as a manager, leader, or HR professional, this concept is now more important than ever. David Hassell, the founder of 15Five, has built a whole methodology about “best-self” management, and I have to say I agree 100%. When people feel fully capable of leveraging their own god given strengths (and desires and aspirations), they always perform well. Understanding what these are is both the job of managers and each of us as individuals.
In David’s platform, the focus is not on managing performance or setting goals. Rather it is on helping people grow, creating clarity about priorities and objectives, and helping people build relationships with others so everyone can get the help, respect, and freedom to succeed. And 15Five has been a tremendously successful company just leveraging these ideas.
Leveraging Best-Self Management at CreditKarma
Here’s an interesting story. CreditKarma, a credit score and personal finance company, is the largest consumer financial technology platform in the United States (more than 100 million customers and 30 million users per day). The company started with free credit score services and quickly expanded into all sorts of other offerings: low-cost mortgages, financial advice, credit card services, and much more. The company has been spectacularly successful and is now in the process of being acquired by Intuit for more than $7 billion.
Like any fast-growing company, the HR and leadership team had to decide what kind of performance management to use. The CEO and management team believe strongly in the “best self” philosophy, so they brought in 15Five as a tool to facilitate regular feedback, check-ins, recognition, and goals.
The results have clearly been fantastic. The company conducts weekly pulse surveys (which are not anonymous and data is fully shared) and an open weekly discussion which lets everyone know what’s on everyone else’s mind. The CEO regularly weighs in, creating a sense of psychological safety because any issue can be brought to the table. Pay is reviewed every six months and the CHRO told me performance reviews are almost automatic because goals are so clear. People move into roles they feel comfortable with and find ways to perform, even as the company changes.
What their story reminds me is that while goal setting is important, it is far less important than conversations, listening, and feedback. So using the best self ideas inherent in 15Five, the company has grown, thrived, and stays successful regardless of the economic cycle. Other new HR products such as Lattice, BetterWorks, and CultureAmp are all moving in this direction – facilitating growth and collaboration around goals, not just measuring and managing goals like they are boulders to work around.
Leveraging Best-Self Management at TrueCar
TrueCar is a website originally designed to be an online destination for context and transparency on vehicle pricing in order to provide consumers with price confidence and more efficient transactions for retailer partners. As you can imagine, this is now a highly competitive market and one that has been dramatically changed by the pandemic. Since many people cannot buy cars face- to-face today, TrueCar is quickly adapting to provide digital solutions for both consumers and dealers that enable an end-to-end experience that’s flexible and includes all aspects of the car buying experience.
Chief People Officer John Foster has helped facilitate this transformation which included a complete remaking of the executive team, a restructure of the entire organization and the implementation of new talent management practices.
TrueCar selected 15Five as the foundation of its talent management efforts to emphasize the power and importance of regular conversations between managers and their direct reports. The company has found that creating asynchronous, thoughtful conversations between employees and their leaders (and teams) leads to much better understanding of priorities and expectations — a key factor in managing the turbulence caused by the company transformation and the COVID pandemic.
15Five provides a convenient toolset to prompt employees to share their work priorities and a weekly status on how they are feeling and to answer some weekly poll questions. These features improve the quality of 1:1s by provoking underlying issues and making it easier to have meaningful dialogue about what’s working and what’s not. The platform also provides an easy way for employees to recognize each other through High Fives, a highly popular feature that helps build connectivity across and between departments.
TrueCar has also launched the Best Self Review features to help every employee manage their career by sharing their contributions and identifying developmental goals. This is the “best self” philosophy – at least once per year everyone gets to decide if they’re doing the job they feel is best for them and if not, to discuss ideas and plans for how to make that happen.
TrueCar was able to launch 15Five with minimal training and essentially no focus on the “how to” aspects of performance management. HR business partners show managers how to use the tool and the platform takes care of itself. TrueCar’s people team can review company-wide leaderboards that show who is doing weekly reviews and where there might be breakdowns, which make it very easy to follow up and get people to engage.
Through his work at a variety of companies, including IDEO and Hulu, John has found that traditional annual reviews don’t hit on all of the aspects of performance, recognition, and career development that managers and employees need to manage. He’s developed the idea of performance dialogue as a complete replacement for what most companies call performance management.
TrueCar uses performance objectives help employees prioritize and assess their efforts, and they are integrated into the ongoing performance dialogue. Performance dialogue is essentially a continuous discussion about two key questions: A) Is this the right work to be doing?, and B) How is it going? Employees also discuss with their managers their workloads. If employees are feeling overloaded with objectives, things can be reshuffled to help keep people focused without being overwhelmed.
Rather than a complex system of OKRs that cascade from top to bottom, TrueCar creates a handful (four to six) of annual goals to align the company. These are embedded into people’s work through executive communications, team meetings and then performance discussions. The best self philosophy encourages each employee to provide their manager with ideas about what and how they can support the company goals from their position.
When I asked John how he measures the effectiveness of TrueCar’s management system, he told me, “We focus on how engaged our employees are. When people are engaged, they know what’s expected, they’re recognizing others and getting feedback, and projects are getting done.” And this is part of the best self philosophy – when people are actively shaping the work they do and helping define the goals, they’re naturally engaged.
Best-Self For You
The bigger issue today is how you leverage your best self in your own career and team. And as I look back to my many years of research and discussions on this topic, I think it comes down to three things:
A) Start with a mindset that every individual (including YOU!) has the potential to do amazing things.
We humans are amazingly resilient and adaptive animals, so when we are given the freedom to work at the right job and “craft” our work as we like it best, we can do amazing things. This means you as a manager have to give people lots of help – feedback and support – and enable them to move into a role, job, or environment that lets them succeed. You can call that growth mindset if you like, but it’s more of a philosophy than anything else. You can succeed if you’re in the right situation, and others can too.
B) Build a culture of growth in everything you do.
As you build HR programs or management practices, stay away from blame or punishment or ratings whenever you can and instead build a set of systems that let people continuously grow and improve. I am just reading the book about the fall of GE (Lights Out) that clearly explains why Jack Welch’s famous forced ranking caused the near death of the company over the ensuing 20 years. That kind of forced performance encourages lying, hiding mistakes, and exaggerating results. We now know that enabling people and teams to grow is the answer.
Yes, there are always people who don’t perform well. But if you consider it’s often because they don’t fit the job, team, or company – you can better deal with any performance issues.
C) Remember that performance drives engagement, not the other way around.
Finally, remember that great performance management is great management. When people know what’s important, they get great feedback on their work, and they feel their management cares – their engagement will skyrocket. The book The Progress Principle proves this well: when reading the job logs of people who loved their work, the #1 thing they mention is their ability to get things done every day.
Helping people be their best self is the most powerful engagement tool you have.
In this pandemic, it’s more important than ever to let everyone tell you what they need to succeed.

A friend who contacted me about my visiting North Korea wrote an article about visiting North Korea. He traveled extensively, spoke Korean, and ate meat, so he had a chance to experience something different and communicate more.
It’s hard for me not to notice how experiencing North Korea differed from his expectations, which led him to understand more about his culture — mainly the press (perhaps the government). Also that the North Korean people made the difference.
Besides his article, the comments showed what I would call short-sightedness and ignorance in people’s knee-jerk responses. They criticized his visiting without considering the pros and cons of people visiting. I’ve written on the ethics of visiting North Korea so you can find out I find value in visiting. No other strategy — not isolation, military, aid, or sanctions — has improved people’s lives there, but I see increasing trade and communication as having a chance.
I don’t see anyone offering a more effective alternative. Yes, money goes to the regime, but you also communicate and undermine any stories saying foreigners or Americans are worse than we are.
Anyway, check out the article.

A JAPANESE national attempting to leave the country with a counterfeit Special Resident Retiree’s Visa (SRRV) was nabbed by Bureau of Immigration (BI) agents at the Ninoy Aquino Terminal 1.
The Japanese was identified by BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco as Yoshiaki Nakamura, 64. He is now detained in the BI’s Warden Facility pending deportation procedures.
Tansingco said the Japanese was about to board a Philippine Airlines flight to Osaka last November 19 when the primary inspector initially referred Nakamura for secondary inspection for holding a visa that appeared counterfeit.
After validation from the agency’s forensic document’s laboratory, it was revealed that the SRRV visa affixed on his passport was counterfeit.
In response to this incident, Tansingco then issued a stern warning to all foreign nationals emphasizing the gravity of possessing counterfeit documents.
“Such actions violate Philippine immigration laws and warrant serious consequences,” he said. “We remain committed to safeguarding the integrity of our immigration system and will take decisive action against those attempting to deceive or defraud it” he said. | <urn:uuid:a814c1d2-10ae-4386-91a8-c1983c781843> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://journal.com.ph/japanese-nabbed-for-fake-visa-attempt-at-naia/ | 2024-04-20T17:41:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.952881 | 238 |

29 November 2020
Scientists and commentators worldwide believe Graphene is the next giant leap forward for industry.
And a South Australian start-up has recently listed on the ASX to provide the capital to be part of that revolution.
Graphene Technology Solutions
Graphene Technology Solutions, an Adelaide University spin-out, has recently completed its back-door listing and recommenced trading on Monday 23 November 2020 as Sparc Technologies (SPN:ASX).
Dubbed the ‘World’s most Intelligent Material’, graphene is a disruptive and transformational material with extremely powerful properties to support advanced manufacturing, through enhancing existing product performance, as well as producing superior new products. Like many ground-breaking technologies, Graphene will spawn new products and develop new markets.
What is 'Graphene' ?
Graphene is an allotrope of carbon (a property of some chemical elements to exist in two or more different forms in the same physical state) consisting of a single layer of atoms arranged in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice.
The name derives from "graphite" combined with the suffix -ene, based on the graphite allotrope of carbon consisting of stacked graphene layers.
Carbon atoms bond with each other in different ways giving rise to materials with remarkably different properties. Other allotropes of carbon include graphite, diamonds, buckminsterfullerene, nanotubes, nanobuds and nanoribbons. Carbon also forms bonds readily with other elements and is commonly found in organic compounds.
Since being isolated and characterised at the University of Manchester in 2004 by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, Graphene is being heralded as the new super-material. A comparatively recent discovery.
For their ground-breaking work both were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010.
A "graphene gold rush" has been sparked since the scientists published their results and described their simple preparation method.
Research has since exploded exploring different exceptional properties of Graphene — quantum mechanical, electrical, chemical, mechanical, optical, magnetic properties and exploiting Graphene’s incredible strength by weight.
Graphene super high strength
Graphene is the strongest material ever tested, with an intrinsic tensile strength of 130 GPa (19,000,000 psi), and tensile strength in the order of 50-60 GPa for stretching large-area freestanding Graphene. Graphene has a Young's modulus (stiffness) close to 1 TPa (150,000,000 psi).
The Nobel announcement illustrated this by saying...
A 1 square metre Graphene hammock would support a 4 kg cat, while itself weighing only as much as a cat's whisker.
- Unparalleled strength (200 times stronger than steel, harder than diamond)
- Light weight (1,000 times lighter than paper)
- Superior conductivity (conducting electricity better than any known material at room temperature)
- Water repellence
- Chemical repulsion
- Fire resistance
- Anti-microbial mechanisms
These incredible mechanical, chemical, electronic, and magnetic properties have widespread application and implications for any number of fields, including energy, renewables, battery storage, sensors, aerospace, building materials, mobile devices and much, much more.
For this reason, scientists and commentators worldwide believe it is the next giant leap forward for industry.
Back to those bright Sparcs
Sparc Technologies back door listed by taking over ASX listed Acacia coal; a metamorphose from coal to graphene coincidentally seeing the company simply changing from commercialising one form of carbon to another. A carbon from the ancient past to a new form of carbon for the future.
The public listing is positive news for South Australia in further developing its place at the hub of graphene application development and commercialisation in Australia.
Sparc Technologies has been a significant R&D investor and commercialisation partner with the University of Adelaide, with a focus on developing industrial solutions utilising graphene in high value areas of…
- Marine & Protective Coatings
- Metals Recovery from Tailings
- and Environmental Remediation (water purification and soil remediation, oil spill containment and PFAS destruction).
Of course, this list should be considered as only their initial focus (for the purpose of getting to first revenues). However, familiarity breeds understanding and as a research-centric company with strong ties to Adelaide University, no doubt other applications will be identified. This is an exciting frontier technology.
The company has exclusive licenses to commercial UoA graphene technologies with global patents pending.
Decarbonising carbon using graphene
Graphene also promises a more environmentally sustainable industrial path, offering solutions to many environmental challenges, through substitution for more harmful materials, promoting a shift away from petrochemicals, enhancing renewable energy production, improving battery storage and solar energy technology, offering cleaner and more sustainable sources of water, through better contaminant monitoring systems, water treatment and desalination; and reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions (think aerospace for one).
Graphene in Australia
The University of Adelaide is a leading institution in the field of graphene research, and a principal member of the Graphene Enabled Industry Transformation Hub, a $6.5 million initiative co-funded by the Australian Research Council in partnership with universities and industry partners designed to facilitate graphene industry development in Australia.
SPARC is just one listed Australian company seeking to accelerate path to market, joining other Graphene Hub Members and ASX-listed companies Archer Materials and First Graphene, as well as Eden Innovations, the Hazer Group and Talga Resources. From these few companies, we are seeing an exciting diversity of products emerging; from the development of biosensor technology for rapid detection of disease, strengthened, water resistant oyster baskets used in commercial aquaculture; superior coatings, polymers and paints, and new resin composites; graphene batteries, polymer composites for automotive, and development of the carbon-strengthened concrete additive, ‘EdenCrete’.
The graphene future
As with the discovery of any new technology, realising its full potential is a long and time-consuming process requiring painstaking research, sharing the learnings and ultimately some creative thinking.
However, a new material possessing such incredible properties will find its way into many practical applications possibly being paired with other technologies that have been stalled through lacking a suitable super material.
Graphene will be a game changer. | <urn:uuid:11177ec7-3cea-49e8-ba7c-e99b5e4631c8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://jwpm.com.au/industrial-marketing-blog/bright-sparc-targets-graphene-disruption | 2024-04-20T16:30:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.93468 | 1,347 |

A Gypsy In Auschwitz: How I Survived the Horrors of the ‘Forgotten Holocaust’
- Brand: Unbranded
Otto lays bare the brutal cruelty of the Nazis and while the appalling conditions in concentration camps like Auschwitz-Birkenau are well-known these days, it's still difficult to contemplate the scale of suffering and calculated, systemic murder of people they deemed to be racially inferior. Those interested in learning more about the Holocaust shouldn't miss this awful yet achingly beautiful book. He begins by remembering a time when his family were poor but happy before the gradual eradication of their rights, the arrest of Sinti and Roma just prior to the 1936 Olympic Games and their forced move to the Berlin-Marzahn labour camp. Later after the concentration camp he was back with his grandmother after living with his dad at the age of five in berlin. He is just a little boy so when a shiny object catches his eye, he tries to steal it to play with it.
The police left and the military tookover the transport - when he turned 16 the train arrived in Auschwitz.moments about remembering someone or explaining that he has seen a certain person since they got out of the camps. While the numbers are shocking, they are an abstract figure whereas a memoir such as this which focuses on one person gives us a starkly affecting insight into the terrible persecution of Roma and Sinti people during WW2 and beyond. This book took a very dark subject but spun it in a way that the reader can sympathise but also be compelled to see what is going to happen to the characters.
All around them, Sinti and Roma families are being torn from their homes by Nazis, leaving behind schools, jobs, friends, and businesses to live in forced encampments outside the city. The trauma not ending when he was liberated, but all through his life and this led to his remarkable retelling of events within the camps. It is this trauma, still affecting him, that shapes his writing and it feels as you read that you can feel and see much it took for him to survive and eventually move on. Without giving too much away this was a book that had to be written, we need more books about Roma and Sinti, they deserve to be known and the stories to be heard. So the history and the knowledge being written regarding the Sinti and Roma was completely new to myself so I found this read interesting.The Sinti included name of his aunts, uncles and other relatives, including his grandmother's sister and her sons. The book is recommended by Doris Bergen as further reading in her book War and Genocide: a Concise History of the Holocaust. Otto had a big family with his mother and father splitting up and having children with different partners. In this heartbreaking and riveting memoir, holocaust survivor and activist Otto Rosenberg describes his Sinti childhood in Berlin, the concentration camps and the post-war treatment of his people.
Otto had such a kind soul, he was hard working from a young age and always took pride in what he did as well as being willing to help anyone, ever in dyer circumstances. This book really hit me in the feelings a few times, there were two moments that will really stay with me. I hope that means that Rosenberg was spared from some of the horrors, but it also might just be that he was not willing to go that in-depth. THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Otto Rosenberg is 9 and living in Berlin, poor but happy, when his family are first detained.As his daughter says in the afterword, the true history and horror of what happened under the Nazis (and the Japanese on my side of the world), tends to be numbed when spoken about as a group. He was sentenced to three months and three weeks in youth detention for sabotage - and theft of Wahrmacht property. It rarely accounts for the deaths of the many Roma, Sinti, homosexual or other non desirable minorities. Otto is a mere nine years of age when he and his family are ripped from the comfort of their community and forced to fight to survive in the Marzahn camp. Any book or novel that deals with the Nazi persecution of not just Jews but others such as gypsy’s, is difficult to read and review, simply because of the horrific nature of the story.
All survivors of Auschwitz are complete warriors to me, but what I loved about this book and this man, was how he was able to find certain things comical and laugh about them afterwards.
From the wretched living conditions which saw prisoners racked with illness and plagued by lice as they were beaten, starved and worked to death to the planned mass murder of his people, Otto barely survived but still lost so much.

Sarah Susnar, founder and owner of Play Café Family Activity and Play Centre in Peterborough, is excited that her business has outgrown its original location.
On November 1st, she moved the business to 1434 Chemong Road in Peterborough. The new event space, play place, and learning centre is for all parents and caregivers with babies and children up to six years old. The new location includes an outdoor play area and many more options for her community of parents.
Sarah established her business with a vision of a place where moms could convene without having to juggle young children. She quickly learned there was also a need for special interest, exercise, and creative programming for young families — a need she could better fulfill with more space.
“We outgrew our space two years in,” Sarah says. “I didn’t realize that people would want to sign up for our programs as much as they have. I thought the play area would be popular, but I quickly realized that while people wanted to get out with their babies — they also wanted experiences like mom and baby yoga and mom and baby art class.
“We’ve just moved into a bigger space and we have two program rooms as well as a play room. So we’re excited to offer a lot more programs and party options.”
Sarah thought her café’s play area would be popular because the idea struck her while struggling to socialize with other new moms. With her firstborn in her lap, Sarah conceived the idea that would one day become her own business.
“I first had the idea when I was a new mom 13 years ago living in Toronto,” Sarah explains. “I was part of a strollercize group and would go out to café’s with other moms. I noticed that there was nowhere for babies to go to be safe and the idea came to me.”
Sarah often discussed her dreams of opening a café with a play area for babies on walks with her mother. It wasn’t until after she relocated to the Kawarthas that she opened her business in 2014/15.
“We moved to Peterborough and I went back to school to study early childhood education,” says Sarah. “I worked in a daycare for a bit. I had two more kids and then I left my job. I was hoping to get a position with the school board. Now I had three young children.”
“I didn’t get in with the school board after interviewing twice. I was heartbroken and didn’t know what to do. I decided to work for myself — and the idea for Play Café came back to me. I started researching it and that’s how we got started.”
Fast-forward to 2019 and now, providing a positive mental health environment for moms and babies is among Play Café’s many accomplishments since opening.
“I suffered from post-partum depression with my second baby and there was nowhere to go,” Sarah recalls. “So one of the things I do now is run a mom and baby group to encourage moms to get out of the house, meet people, and discuss the struggles and joys they’re experiencing in this new chapter of their lives.”
As a result, moms often thank her for providing this platform. She has received many cards, letters, and encouragement from the families she’s met.
“A lot of moms thank me,” Sarah says. “On days when I think running a business is hard, a mom will send me a message that says ‘Thank you so much for being here’, and I know the roller-coaster of running a business is worth it.”
To make entrepreneurship a little bit easier, Sarah also chose to participate in the Women Business Network of Peterborough (WBN) mentorship program last year. She says she has benefited from the experience and advice of other successful women in business.
“I love going to WBN meetings,” she says. “Before I joined, I’d attended meetings as a guest a few times and wasn’t sure if it was for me. Last year I wanted to hear a particular guest speaker, so I attended and made a few connections. I thought, ‘This is the place to be if you have a business. A lot of the women here have been in your shoes and they can offer a lot of advice and mentorship’.”
Sarah says she joined WBN immediately after attending this event, and her business continues to blossom and grow.
Play Café is located at 1434 Chemong Road (Unit 1 and Unit 2) in Peterborough. Hours of operation are 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday to Friday and 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, with Sundays are reserved for party and private event bookings.

The Daily Standup
In Liz Hayes’s post about routine check-ins, seemingly simple collaboration processes and trust enable hard-working, distributed teams to succeed. —Editor
Author: Liz Hayes
I joined a new project last summer, a Global Information System (GIS) effort run by Keith W. Miller. The team is made up of about seven database experts and Python developers who do data visualization for our sponsor. We have a daily standup meeting. Every morning, we get together either in person or by phone. Some dial in from home or from the road, and one connects from Bedford. (There’s a spoof, “A Conference Call in Real Life”, in which people around a conference table speak while muted or attempt to quiet a barking dog. That video is our theme song.) The standup lasts fifteen minutes. Each person says what they did yesterday, what they’re going to do today, and what obstacles lie in the way.
I usually work with little supervision, so I felt doubtful at first about checking in every day. But the standup isn’t about micro-management, it’s about collaboration. Keith usually goes first, setting the example and leading from the front. The fact that he participates as an equal rather than an overseer is extremely important to the way the standup functions. There’s a lot of trust among team members, I think because we get together every day.
In the first standup I attended, one of the senior developers said, “for obstacles, the main barrier is that I don’t know what I’m doing.” Now, if I were standing in front of a group of people I didn’t see very often, and wanted to impress, I would’ve said, “No problems, everything is proceeding on schedule,” assuming the problems I had were the usual small, normal ones. But at the standup, I feel free to admit, “My path variable doesn’t work. It should work, but it doesn’t.” And someone else will say, “I had that problem yesterday, and here’s how I fixed it.” And that five-minute conversation will save me a whole day of trying to track down the problem.
One measure of trust is how much we tease each other. Once I addressed John White, a semantic linguist, as Jon Snow. He said, “I don’t even know who that is.” “Good, because you died a horrible death in the last season,” said someone else on the team.
I think it works, even with all the teleconferencing, because we all know each other in person. The combination of the tone Keith sets, combined with the daily contact in the hallway conversations about hobbies and other important events in our lives cements the trust that makes the standup meetings work.

Thinking About Thinking While You’re Thinking
Author: Larry Colby
At MITRE, we are routinely asked to analyze large amounts of complex information, crunch numbers, be innovative by linking separate ideas from different disciplines, and collaborate by applying new concepts and ideas. We tackle tasks related to everything from reviewing information and analyzing data to evaluating and formulating solutions.
In other words, we think.
We often think long and hard about long and hard problems.
While these tasks are indeed well-known, it has also been my experience that many professionals may not be able to explain clearly what their thinking is and what steps were taken to generate their conclusions. Are all of us completely clear on how to think through a problem? Whether we work on national security problems, an agency regulatory issue, or even difficult problems at home, many of us could benefit from using a questions-based framework to formulate a well-thought-out conclusion that comes from critical thinking. A questions-based framework can help us concentrate on outcomes that are important and practical. In other words, ensuring our thinking is well thought out!
Why Will This Help Me in My Thinking?
Henry Ford and Thomas Edison both publicly said that thinking is the hardest work and therefore few engage in it. Many recent books (e.g., The Black Swan, How Not to be Wrong, Superforecasting) call the act of thinking one of the toughest things for the human mind to conquer.
As the host of Family Feud, Steve Harvey laughs with competing family members and contestants as they race to be first with an answer, any answer. Watching Harvey’s contestants provide (incorrect) answers to simple questions reminds me of Thinking Fast and Slow. In that book, Daniel Kahneman, a psychologist and co-winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, breaks up thinking into two parts: System 1 (“thinking fast, intuitive and emotional”) or System 2 (“slower, more deliberative and more logical”). Harvey’s contestants fall under Kahneman’s System 1 of “thinking fast, intuitive and emotional!”
The more difficult, complex problems that we face at MITRE (and at times in our personal lives) require us to think longer and harder, which is Kahneman’s System 2-style thinking. Thinking longer and harder is our sweet spot at MITRE. But whether we view problems and apply our thinking according to Systems 1 or 2, we are all potentially open to human error.
Left unchecked, the human mind can be myopic, biased, inaccurate, overconfident, and incomplete. The quality of our thinking is directly correlated to our language, culture, practices, and habits. The quality of our thought is based on our education, experience, and exposure. Unstructured thinking can be costly to MITRE, our country, to a family, and to each of us personally. As Team MITRE continues to produce successful outcomes for our sponsors in an uncertain and complex world, comprehending a set of questions as part of the structure from which quality thinking arises may be a best practice for your consideration. Critical thinking experts share with us that this is done by dividing our thinking into parts and asking crucial questions.
There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
Parts of Thinking
In her work The Thinker’s Guide to Analytic Thinking, educational psychologist Dr. Linda Elder shares eight elements that make up our thinking. She writes “whenever we think, we
- think for a purpose,
- within a point of view,
- based on assumptions,
- leading to implications and consequences.
- We use concepts, ideas, and theories to interpret data, facts, and experiences
- to answer questions, solve problems, and resolve issues.”
Dr. Elder shares that each of these elements has implications for the others. As we at MITRE approach a sponsor’s problem, it requires us to think through our purpose, which leads us to have questions, followed by more questions. It’s the Socratic Method in action. With more questions comes our desire to hunt for new information and data. The loop of questions and data is continuous in resolving issues.
Questions to Guide our Thinking
Dr. Elder refers to some of these questions to aid in our understanding of a problem and formulating a solution:
- Clarity: Could you elaborate further? Could you give me an example?
- Accuracy: How could we check on that? How could we find out if that is true?
- Precision: Could you be more specific? Could you be more exact?
- Relevance: How does that relate to the problem?
- Depth: What factors make this a difficult problem?
- Breadth: Do we need to look at this from another perspective? Do we need to consider another point of view?
- Logic: Does all this make sense together?
- Significance: Is this the most important problem to consider?
- Fairness: Do I have any vested interest in this issue?
The Five Why’s involves more actual questioning, while the Six Thinking Hats encourages looking at problems from multiple perspectives. Both offer useful tools for critical thinking.
While aviation and medicine are two industries that utilize checklists to ensure a set of formal, repeatable procedures are followed, thinking does not need to be viewed as rigid. It is not necessarily a prescribed checklist that will lead to the perfect set of solutions for the sponsor. Instead, checklists should be used as a guide to assist your thinking. Author David T. Moore in his Critical Thinking and Intelligence Analysis explains that a big picture way to think utilizes cognitive brainpower to leverage curiosity, skepticism, and objective reasoning. It simultaneously creates a chain of reasoning to test your logic. Reviewing and challenging your thoughts is necessary to protect the integrity of your own thought processes.
Example of Applying Critical Thinking to Reading/Research
A few years ago I taught Strategic Leadership and Healthcare Industry-related courses at the National Defense University and wrote about the experience in a previous KDE blog post, along with my MITRE teammate Jim Chapple. When we approached the subject of critical thinking with our graduate students, we started the semester by assigning an article to be read regarding pharmaceuticals, followed by discussing as a group in the classroom to analyze the author’s points. At the end of the discussion, we would ask them to identify the author’s background. Not one student questioned who wrote it and why. Our teaching point: every article they would read (reports/presentations upon graduation, too) was geared to persuade, inform, or entertain. The lesson was that they should read critically to detect bias and find out the ‘why.’ In this example, the author was from a healthcare organization (lobbyist), and if the reader did not pay attention, they might be persuaded by opinion rather than fact. Our point was that slanted stories, politics, guilt feelings, powerful interest groups and competitors are all out there seeking one’s opinion. Made famous by Ronald Reagan, we emphasized the “trust, but verify” concept when reading and researching. To assist our students, we placed emphasis on Mr. Moore’s and Dr. Elder’s works mentioned above. The same concepts can be applied when conducting MITRE interviews, focus groups and research.
Critical Thinking and National Security
One other item comes to mind when considering MITRE and critical thinking: national security. It has been documented by recent domestic and international events, government reports and speeches by national security leaders that the future continues to be uncertain when it comes to the actions of adversaries against the United States. Our country does not have the resources to deal with the issues facing the future and we need our current team of doers and thinkers to be at the top of their game by providing analysis and deep thought on information and data, no matter what the source. We may want to review reports and articles via a critical thinking lens, as these are difficult, heavy-weight challenges that require System 2 thinking. Not falling for internet rumors, text spam, Tweets with no basis in fact, and political bias in what is and is not reported by different media outlets requires us to apply critical thinking to public statements. Only critical thinking will reveal false statements, hypocrisy, and the incomplete presentation of facts. If something does not seem right, it may not be.
All of us should consider improving our critical thinking skills via additional practice. Reading and studying in this area informs us of our unique capabilities and limitations of our minds, informs us of how we generate answers, and gives us personal indications of how we can improve the quality of our lives. This self-education not only benefits us personally, but the MITRE products and solutions we produce to solve problems for a safer world. Thinking about thinking while thinking. Think about it.

Pupils of Ramridge Primary School in Luton and The Grove Infant and Nursery School in Harpenden have become social media stars following a humorous film of them talking about death.
In less than 24-hours, the film produced by Keech Hospice Care, the adult and children’s hospice in Luton, has racked up more than 20,000 views across social media, with Harry Judd from McBusted and national charities including Marie Curie showing their support.
Carolyn Doherty, Head teacher of Ramridge Primary School, said “It was a really enlightening experience to see how deeply the children were able to think and talk about the subject of dying and in such a relaxed way.”
Anna Archer, Head teacher of The Grove Infant and Nursery School, said “We’re delighted to support Keech Hospice Care with its film. Death can be a difficult subject for adults to talk about but children have such wonderful ideas about every aspect of life. Watching the film brings a range of emotions, and I hope others find it useful.”
When asked ‘what happens when you die?’ the students aged between four and five years old, gave answers including ‘you sit on a star’, ‘your garden goes on top of you’ and how their pet cats go in jars!
The three minute film on Keech Hospice Care’s Facebook and Twitter pages has already received nearly 500 shares across social media.
Elaine Tolliday, Interim Clinical Director at Keech Hospice Care, said the innocence and honesty of the children is helping to throw open a conversation people often find difficult to have.
“As far as we know, Keech Hospice Care is the first ever hospice to do something like this and I’m proud to see us leading the way.
“Talking about death doesn’t bring death closer. It’s about planning for life. Without talking and understanding, death and terminal illness can be a lonely and stressful experience, both for the person who is dying and for their friends and family,” she said.
Eighty-one percent of people have not written down any preferences for their own death, and only 25% of men and just over one in three women (35%) across England have told anyone about their funeral wishes.
“The stats show nearly two-thirds of people (60%) have not written a will,” said Mrs Tolliday.
“By launching our unique film during Dying Matters Week, we hope everybody will follow the lead of our brilliant young students and be open about what they want to happen when they die.”

- Look for brands that are certified mycotoxin-free by independent third-party organizations, such as Clean Coffee Certification, USDA Organic, or Rainforest Alliance.

The Role of High-Altitude Coffee Farms in Reducing Mould Levels
High-altitude coffee farms play an important role in reducing mould levels in coffee beans. Coffee plants grown at high altitudes are exposed to colder temperatures, which slows down the growth of mould and reduces the risk of mycotoxin contamination. Additionally, the soil at high altitudes is typically richer in nutrients, which can improve the overall health of the coffee plants and make them more resistant to mould and disease. By sourcing coffee from high-altitude farms, coffee companies can ensure that their beans are less likely to be contaminated with mycotoxins, and also benefit from the unique flavour profiles that high-altitude coffee can offer. As a result, high-altitude coffee farms are becoming increasingly popular among specialty coffee roasters and consumers who prioritize quality and safety in their coffee.
Clean Coffee Certification: What It Means for Consumers
Clean Coffee Certification is a mark of quality that assures consumers that the coffee they are purchasing is not only ethically sourced but also meets certain standards in terms of cleanliness and safety. With the growing trend towards healthier living, consumers are increasingly interested in knowing more about the products they are consuming. This is where Clean Coffee Certification comes in.
If you’re a consumer looking for clean coffee, here are some things to keep in mind:
- Look for the Clean Coffee Certification mark on the packaging of keto coffee pods, beans and ground coffee.
- Check that the coffee is certified organic, which means that it has been grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
- Ensure that the coffee has been tested for contaminants such as mold, mycotoxins, and pesticides.
- Look for coffee that has been roasted to a medium to dark roast level, as this can help reduce the levels of acrylamide, a potentially harmful chemical compound.
By choosing coffee that has been certified as clean, consumers can enjoy their favorite beverage with the peace of mind that they are making a healthy choice for themselves and the environment.
How to Properly Store Whole Bean Clean Coffee to Stop Mould
Storing whole bean clean coffee properly is essential to maintain its freshness and prevent the growth of mold. Mold can not only ruin the taste of your coffee but can also be harmful to your health. Here are some tips on how to properly store whole bean clean coffee to prevent mold growth:
- Store the coffee in an airtight container. Exposure to air can cause the coffee to go stale and promote mold growth.
- Keep the coffee away from moisture. Moisture is a breeding ground for mold, so avoid storing your coffee in a damp area like the kitchen or near a sink.
- Store the coffee in a cool, dry place. High temperatures can cause the coffee to deteriorate quickly, so avoid storing it near heat sources like ovens or stovetops.
- Don’t store coffee in the fridge or freezer. While it may seem like a good idea to keep coffee fresh, the moisture in the fridge or freezer can cause condensation, leading to mold growth.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your whole bean clean coffee stays fresh and mold-free, so you can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee every time.
Grinding and Brewing Techniques for Maximum Flavour and Freshness – Keeping Coffee Mould Free
Grinding and brewing techniques play a crucial role in maximizing the flavor and freshness of your coffee while also keeping it free from mold. Here are some tips to help you achieve the perfect cup:
- Grind your coffee just before brewing. This ensures maximum freshness and flavor.
- Use a burr grinder for even grinding. Blade grinders can produce uneven grounds, which can affect the flavor of your coffee.
- Use the right amount of coffee. The recommended ratio is 1 to 2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water.
- Use filtered water. This removes impurities and improves the taste of your coffee.
- Brew at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for brewing coffee is between 195 and 205°F.
- Use the right brewing method. Choose the method that best suits your taste, whether it’s a French press, drip coffee maker, or pour-over.
- Clean your equipment regularly. Residue can build up and lead to mold growth, affecting the flavor of your coffee.
By following these tips, you can enjoy a delicious and fresh cup of coffee every time, free from mold and with maximum flavour.

According to the US Census, bold entrepreneurs start up to 4.4 million new businesses each year. Only half of those companies will be in operation five years later.
What sets successful start-ups apart from the millions of failures? There’s no single, simple answer, but there are plenty of books for entrepreneurs that can offer tips based on experience in the business world.
The best books for small business owners include first-hand anecdotes that can transform your understanding of what it takes to succeed. Excellent business books illuminate the common pitfalls that smart innovators often miss. We sincerely believe a single book can change the trajectory of your life.
We’ve gathered the four best entrepreneur books we’ve read this year to get you started. Read on to discover the tome that will ensure your success.
Table of Contents
1. The Effective Executive by Peter Drucker
When starting a new business, management and leadership resources are indispensable. That’s why our first recommendation is The Effective Executive: The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done by Peter Drucker. It’s accessible and full of valuable anecdotes that put institutional leadership in perspective.
Drucker shares particular insight into creating effective proposals. If this is an area where you struggle, start here.
2. The $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau
Sometimes the best way to exceed your own expectations is to begin with a challenge. The $100 Startup is part how-to guide and part inspiration, pushing new business owners to do more with less. Not only will it help you craft compelling and actionable business goals, but it will also help you reframe your role as a leader in your own life.
This is an excellent option for anyone who needs a push to get started. It’s a clear call to action for a reluctant innovator-in-transition.
3. Reading People by Anne Bogel
Entrepreneurial success is about more than ideas and funding. You’ll need to hire dedicated innovators who share your vision and are willing to push hard to see it through. If you can’t read and understand people, how can you expect to see beyond their job interview facade and know you’re investing in the right collaborators?
That’s why Reading People by Anne Bogel should be essential reading for all business owners. Hiring is an investment. Invest in your ability to make the right choices from the start.
4. The Little Red Book of Selling by Jeffrey Gitomer
The word “sales” has a lot of negative associations, but The Little Red Book of Selling seeks to reclaim its reputation. Jeffrey Gitomer takes the sleaze out of becoming an effective salesperson. You’ll learn tips and tricks that can transform your reputation without sacrificing your conversion rate.

The topic for the day is indeed organising writing projects.
I have a spread sheet where I list all the stories I've writen or want to write in the future. I just counted them up and I have a grand total of 150 storys and story ideas.
A grand total of two of these have been accepted for publication. Two more are out there waiting for a verdict. One more will go out at the end of this month.
Now for the math. At the moment I'm trying to send off one or more a month. Lets call it one to keep the math simple. I'm aiming to submit 12 stories a year. So, it is going to take me about 12.5 years to submit them all at that rate. And I'm not even taking into account all the ideas I keep adding to the tally.
On the one hand, it is great to know I'm not going to run out of things to write about for quite a while. On the other hand, I feel a bit...
I don't really know how to discribe it. I try to be practical and organised. For me that means I onlt work on one first draft at a time and one editing project at a time. I've tried to put them in some sort of order.
The first drafts of the Perfect Timing series should be finished in September.
During October and December I'm hoping to do the first drafts and major re-writes for another series I have in the works called Hot + Wet.
November is Nanowrimo (more about how much I love Nano closer to the date!) and I've set that month aside to work on a stand alone novel called Model Submissive.
At the same time I'm editing up Perfect Timing for submission to Total-e-bound.
So, the chances of my having time to work on anything else for the rest of this year are somewhat slim.
And when I think about that I just feel... well, what about the other projects in my to do list?
I start working out that if I do X and then Y and then Z, and soon I realise it will be a decade or so before I get to work on some of them. Can I really put those ideas on the back burner for that long? What if I don't remember what I liked about the idea and the characters when I finally come to write them? What if... and this is the one that really does worry me... What if someone else writes the stories first?
I don't know why I'm telling you all this. Maybe because I wonder if there are other writers out there who feel the same way? Maybe it just does everyone good to have a moan now and again - even if they haven't actually got anything to moan about.
I'll leave you in peace now.
What do I intend to do with myself until I speak to you next?
Well, today I'm doing the synopsis and blurb for Silent Night (1700 words) and adding to my first draft of Quick Learner (1500 - 2000 words).
Tomorrow I'll be adding the last section (another 1500 - 2000 words) to finish off Quick Learner.
Friday I'll be talking to you again :) | <urn:uuid:e9b6d396-055b-4bba-a118-1d641bd876ae> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://kimdare.blogspot.com/2008/08/wednesday-wonderings-4.html | 2024-04-20T16:43:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.972814 | 667 |

Typically, the very best full-flow filters capture only 50 % at particle sizes of 10 microns and above. Smaller soot suspension and insoluble that can also cause wear and deposits are not controlled effectively by these full-flow filters.
For this reason, compressed cellulose depth media used as bypass filters can offer benefits in removing fine organic and inorganic particles.
The Kleenoil By-Pass filters operate by filtering oil on a “partial-flow” basis. They draw approximately 10 % of the oil pump’s capacity at any one time and trap the extremely small, wear-causing contaminants that full-flow filters can’t remove.
They have a high-pressure differential, causing the oil to flow through them very slowly and allowing for the removal of smaller contaminants.
You may install the KLEENOIL hydraulic by-pass filter on individual machines for 24X7 filtration. Oil will be continuously cleaned as and when machine is in operation and no manual intervention is required. | <urn:uuid:c9583550-3744-4276-a51b-19cc86132441> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://kleenoilindia.com/product-range/kleenoil-by-pass-filters/ | 2024-04-20T16:43:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.952356 | 209 |

In this article, Aq’am Chief Joe Pierre describes in detail Qat’muk in the East Kootenays and what this sacred place means to him and the Ktunaxa people.
“You wouldn’t want to build a resort in the Vatican, so why are we talking about building a resort in any other sacred space?” With that quote Aq’am Chief and Ktunaxa storyteller Joe Pierre skyrocketed to prominence during the debate about the Jumbo Glacier ski resort development. He helped share the views of the Ktunaxa nation who believe Qat’muk, the Kootenay, British Columbia, area that includes parts of Farnham, Glacier, Horsethief, Toby, and Jumbo creeks is a sacred place.
Eddie Petryshen, an East Kootenay local and conservation assistant with Wildsight, sat down with Joe to record his thoughts and stories related to the Ktunaxa people. Part one of the interview appeared here and in part two, transcribed below, Joe gives us a detailed look at Qat’muk and why this beautiful place is so sacred to Ktunaxa people.
Eddie Petryshen: When did you first learn about Qat’muk?
Joe Pierre: When I first heard about it and really started to understand about Qat’muk, I was already in my twenties, it was the early ‘90s and it was when this resort proposal came out. We had a nation-wide meeting. Our leadership was aware of what was happening with the Jumbo proposal, so our leadership wanted to talk to the nation people about what was happening. I remember being at that meeting; I was a young man, so really all I did was listen.
Once people understood what was being told to us from our leadership and what the plan was in this part of our world, the rest of that meeting day became elders standing up. Just one after another, all of them standing up, talking about our responsibility as Ktunaxa in our homelands. Immediately, people were talking about Qat’muk as the home of the grizzly bear or the spiritual home of the grizzly bear or the different terms they were using for the place. And how modern human beings can’t, or won’t or don’t listen to our brethren and don’t even consider them. Again it’s because we remove ourselves from being part of the whole of all living things and put ourselves on the top. That attitude is what allows consumerism. That attitude of being on the top is what leads to a lot of our environmental problems.
So that day I heard elder after elder standing up. And by the end of the day, I had a pretty good idea that it was a pretty important place for us, a pretty spiritual place for us. But you know, I still needed some explanation. So I went to my grandma, and said, “Grandma, I heard all those elders talking today and can you help me to really understand what they were talking about?” and my grandmother did it in a really simple way, she just said, “Well, it’s where the grizzly bears go to dance.” And then she left it at that for me to think about and to wonder about.
So when I left my grandmother that day, that’s what I had to think about. I had to think: what do I know about dancing? If that’s where the grizzly bears go to dance, what is my grandmother getting at? And so I started thinking, well, what have I been taught about dancing throughout my life, in our Ktunaxa ways? Dancing is a big part of our ceremony of life. So I started thinking about that and I realized that my grandmother was talking about all living things, how we all are interconnected and we all need to interact with one another and communicate with one another. I knew that what my grandmother was talking about was that when we’re dancing, the grizzly bears are dancing as well—we are dancing together. And it just so happens that the Qat’muk valley is where the grizzly bear goes to dance.
Afterward, I started learning other things about Qat’muk as well. That Qat’muk is the place where the Grizzly bear spirit is born, where it goes to heal itself, and where it eventually goes to die. And so we are talking about that spiritual level of things, right? Not the physical realm, but that spiritual realm.
We know that when we are in ceremony and dancing in the wintertime, that those grizzly bears are sleeping, they are sound asleep. But really, the spiritual being of the grizzly bear goes to Qat’muk at that time of the year, so that they can come together and dance and so that we are able to communicate with them, because we’re dancing and singing their song. So when we are dancing and singing our songs, they are dancing and singing, and that’s when we are able to really communicate. So if you take Qat’muk away, you take away the grizzly bear’s place to dance and you are really, seriously interrupting our ability to communicate with the grizzly bear spirit. And that’s the problematic piece.
I remember at that meeting was the very first time I was told about this, with our elders standing up and speaking. You have to remember the century that happened before that, because this was 1990. The century that happened before that was the century of colonization, of residential schools, of sixties scoop, of veterans being treated poorly after coming home after fighting for this country, of just everything: the laws that kept us from voting until 1960, the laws that took aboriginal status away from women because they married a non-Native man, the laws that gave status to non-aboriginal women who married Native men.
A lot of the elders who were at that meeting that day are no longer with us and this is another part that makes it very, very important for me, because that day they were talking about our responsibility to speak on behalf of the grizzly bear. Now I have the responsibility to speak on their behalf, on behalf of the grizzly bear. So it’s even doubly more important for me to be able to say these things.
So that day, I remember a lot of our elders saying: we can’t talk about these things, these sacred parts of our worldview with suyapi (our word for white people). We can’t be speaking with the suyapis about these things, these are our things. All that persecution, all that abuse led Ktunaxa people to hold our culture very, very close to ourselves. So much so that our ceremonies are being done in secret, so much so that only certain parts of the Ktunaxa people find out about the ceremonies and others don’t, because it’s secret. So at that point in the early ’90s, we said that we can’t talk about these things with the suyapis. We know our responsibility is to speak on behalf of those grizzly bears. We know the reasons for our spiritual connections, but we are not going to tell those things to those suyapis because they are going to take them, like they have taken everything else.
I remember at that first meeting, our elders were telling our leaders at the time, the chiefs of those days: you go and oppose this, and you say no to them. We don’t have to talk about why we are saying no, they need to listen to us, because right now we are starting this treaty process. They have come to us and said they want to make treaty with us, and if they truly want to make treaty with us, then they need to listen to us. And so if we are saying no about a piece of land, then all we should have to say is no, we shouldn’t have to explain why. Because we are the sovereign people within our lands, right? We are the ones with the rights and title within our land, and so if we are saying no, we shouldn’t have to explain ourselves. We should be listened to. Well, that wasn’t good enough, right?
For that to change, it took a near death experience for one of our spiritual leaders. He came very close to passing away; he had heart troubles and his heart just about gave out on him in the early 2000s. But when he was in the hospital, his guardian spirits, which are the grizzly bears, came and sat by his bed and told him: you need to start telling these people what you have been holding close, because they are not listening and now is the time. So in the early 2000s, as a Nation, we started to tell the provincial government, “Okay, we have been saying no for the last dozen years and now this is the reason why.” And so a lot of people interpreted that as “Oh, they just came up with that reason now.”
No, the reason we held it close was the 100 years of persecution and colonization before, that’s the reason why we held it close and are just talking about it now. A lot of people like to believe or think that we just came up with that thing in the early 2000s, but we have been saying no since the beginning. We just didn’t explain those sacred parts in the beginning because they are sacred. And if you have a full understanding of that word, sacred, which is not a Ktunaxa word, it’s an English word, if you understand sacred then we shouldn’t need to explain ourselves, especially in our own homelands.
EP: What’s your vision for Qat’muk once the proposed resort is defeated?
JP: My vision is that seven generations from now, a young Ktunaxa family can go there and enjoy it the way I am enjoying it with my son right now. My grandmother, when I was very, very young, she used to talk about, in our mountains here, there are times of the year when we need to be out of those mountains and down in the valleys and in the low places, and that’s the wintertime and the snow. And she used to say to me, “If you’re going to be up there, if you’re going to be in there, you need to be able to get there and be there under your own power, because if you’re accessing those places under the power of a vehicle, then you really haven’t gotten yourself there. And what happens if something happens to you there? What happens to that vehicle? You’re not going to be able to survive, because you haven’t gotten yourself into that place. If you can’t get yourself into those places under your own power, then you shouldn’t be there.
Backcountry skiers, like Leah (Leah Evans), get themselves there, and I have no problem with that. You’ve gotten yourself there under your own power. You’ve earned the right to be in there. The heli-skiers: it’s problematic, but at least with the heli-skiers, they’re not leaving the footprint that’s being suggested for actually having a resort there. That’s a permanent footprint that you cannot remove. That would cut those corridors for the animals. Whereas the heli-skiers, at least their footprint is a lot lighter. It’s still significant, with the fuel that’s going into those things and there is still a disturbance factor for animals. Some of the people in our Nation are okay with that, others still have problems with it. I absolutely believe in what my grandmother used to teach me, in that if you can’t be out there under your own power, then you should not be there.
When you’re on a sled like that you’re not getting all the messages either, because you can’t hear them. You have no time for them. So I really have no problem with people that earn their right to be there, skiing on that glacier. Because I know that those people earned that right to be there. People who have physically put themselves on the line, probably very much do respect that place in the way that it needs to be respected. But skiing on that place in the summertime, because it is a glacier, is so problematic. That’s just ludicrous, unbelievable, especially with what we know about climate change and the glaciers. I mean it’s pretty darn clear when you see photos from the 1970s and then you look at photos now. The glaciers are clearly disappearing. So to propose to ski on one all year long…?

Virtual fact is a simulated 3D environment that permits customers to discover and interact with a digital bordering in a way that approximates reality, as it is perceived via the users’ senses. The environment is designed with personal computer hardware and software, despite the fact that consumers may possibly also need to have to dress in gadgets this kind of as helmets or goggles to interact with the atmosphere. The a lot more deeply consumers can immerse themselves in a VR environment — and block out their physical environment — the much more they are in a position to suspend their perception and settle for it as true, even if it is fantastical in mother nature.
What are the primary types of virtual truth?
vr simulator The VR industry still has far to go before recognizing its eyesight of a entirely immersive environment that enables users to have interaction multiple sensations in a way that approximates fact. Nevertheless, the technological innovation has appear a long way in delivering realistic sensory engagement and exhibits assure for organization use in a quantity of industries.
VR systems can differ significantly from 1 to the following, depending on their objective and the technological innovation employed, although they usually drop into 1 of the adhering to three types:
Non-immersive. This variety of VR typically refers to a 3D simulated atmosphere that’s accessed through a computer screen. The environment may well also produce audio, dependent on the plan. The user has some manage more than the virtual surroundings employing a keyboard, mouse or other gadget, but the surroundings does not immediately interact with the consumer. A movie recreation is a very good example of non-immersive VR, as is a site that permits a consumer to design a room’s decor.
Semi-immersive. This variety of VR provides a partial virtual encounter that is accessed via a pc display screen or some kind of eyeglasses or headset. It focuses mainly on the visible 3D factor of virtual fact and does not incorporate physical motion in the way that complete immersion does. A typical illustration of semi-immersive VR is the flight simulator, which is utilized by airlines and militaries to prepare their pilots.
Totally immersive. This kind of VR delivers the biggest amount of digital truth, completely immersing the person in the simulated 3D entire world. It incorporates sight, seem and, in some cases, contact. There have even been some experiments with the addition of odor. Consumers dress in special equipment this sort of as helmets, goggles or gloves and are capable to completely interact with the environment. The surroundings may also incorporate this kind of gear as treadmills or stationary bicycles to offer end users with the encounter of transferring by means of the 3D room. Completely immersive VR technology is a field nonetheless in its infancy, but it has created critical inroads into the gaming sector and to some extent the healthcare industry, and it’s creating a wonderful deal of interest in other people. | <urn:uuid:c0d298d1-eaa8-4137-bad4-cb7d5db4c5bb> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://koreexclusivehealth.com/8-incredible-vr-simulator-machine-examples/ | 2024-04-20T15:56:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.96015 | 590 |
520 days of the COVID-19 Lockdown, and as of 30th of August 2021, the Ministry of Health and Child Care reported that the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases had increased to 124 581 after 144 new cases, all local cases, were recorded. The highest case tally was recorded in Harare with 44 cases. We note that the Hospitalisation rate as of 15:00hrs on 29 August 2021 was 256 hospitalised cases: 15 new admissions, 23 asymptomatic cases, 152 mild-to-moderate cases, 56 severe cases and 25 cases in Intensive Care Units.
Active cases went down to 7 766. The total number of recoveries went up to 112 399 increasing by 865 recoveries. The recovery rate remains at 90%. A total of 22 092 people received their 1st doses of vaccine. The cumulative number of the 1st dose vaccinated now stands at 2 552 573. A total of 12 712 recipients received their second dose bringing the cumulative number of 2nd dose recipients to 1 619 463. The death toll went up to 4 416 after 15 new deaths were recorded.
Critical Emerging Issue
Implications of Intercity Travel
We note the problems being raised by the opaque guidelines on resumption of inter-city and inter-provincial travel to support the resumption of the education sector. We note the erroneous public perception that inter-city and interprovincial travel has been fully resumed.
We note further that this has been exacerbated by the inconsistencies in enforcement patterns by security officers. The requirement to have a bus passenger manifest with names of students and their respective schools listed is not well understood or consistently applied on the country highways. The resulting effect is of significant cause of concern.
We note further the heavily congested buses and with several buses with standing passengers on inter provincial tips. We note the lack of mask wearing in the buses and the non-existent social distancing.
We note further the limited to non-existent sanitisation especially when the buses are effecting the pick up of passengers in between the official start and stops of the buses.
We raise grave concerns regarding the negative implications of infection control
- We call for stricter control on sanitisation and mask wearing on buses.
- We call for enforcement of social distancing on buses.
- We call mass publication of enforcement guidelines for inter provincial and inter-city travel.
Inconsistencies and Shortages of Vaccines
We raise concern at the inconsistencies of vaccines and shortages of vaccines at various vaccination centres. We are greatly concerned at continued reports of shortages of vaccines on the ground whilst deliveries of vaccines at the national level have been recently recorded. We note with concern the slowing down of the vaccination programme at a time when the country is still in the vaccination blitz period and limited jabs are being administered.
We are concerned about growing community reports indicating inconsistencies of vaccine supplies which may be undermining public efforts to secure vaccines. We note that the number of persons vaccinated daily is shifting on daily basis, thereby completely eroding the booking and tracking systems of individual vaccination centres.
We therefore warn against such ineffectiveness and inefficiencies in the vaccination programme.
- We urge Government to address logistical and distribution problems pertaining to the vaccination program.
- We call for main/large scale vaccination centres to hold adequate supplies of vaccines for consistencies in numbers of persons processed per day.
- We call for rapid deliveries of vaccines to centres supported by public announcements at community and rural health-care centres to ensure that numbers of vaccines match numbers of persons being attended to at vaccination centres.

We are now going to have an RNR strategy 2040.
What does it even mean?
Agriculture, under which comes also forest in its totality, is a development dimension that we are yet to understand.
Agriculture in Bhutan, in the true sense of the term, has been a failure.
And there are the plans, one after another. When we are a nation in the Himalayas with abundant water resources, why should we be clamouring about water shortage, for example? We are, perhaps, the biggest owners of forest resources, yet why do we continue to import wood and wood products?
According to a study, the agricultural sector growth and its contributions to the country’s economy have been decreasing with a record low at 4.36 percent in 2018, which is associated with the poor performance of the forestry sub-sector.
This had been plain to the common people for a long time; only the policymakers could not establish the right link.
Education and civil service have a new mandate now. It is high time we had one for agriculture.
Why is the biggest sector in the country not getting, not receiving, the pride of place?
If bureaucracy is the main hurdle, why can’t we remove it entirely and replace with something arrangements that work? Where civil servants have not been able to act, for ages, volunteer groups are making it happen, overnight.
RNR strategy 2040 says that decreasing trend of the sector’s contribution to GDP is linked to lack of accounting forestry services. Why and how is this even happening?
We have been aware, all these years, that frequent organisational reviews impede meaningful change; and there are policy conflicts, ad hoc adjustment of plans, lack of “cascading plans”, and absence of monitoring and evaluation.
But then, the people have been, and are, paying for these vital services.
Logical and sustainable use of forest resources should be at the heart of service provision strategy from the agriculture ministry.
According to the reports collected and presented by the “experts”, Bhutan has 1,001 million (M) m3 of forests and natural vegetation, and 7,434 floral and faunal biodiversity. However, the economic returns from the “vast” natural resources so far been negligible.
The government last year announced measures to export wood-based products, which is expected to save more than Nu 3 billion (B) revenue losses from import of these products.
Bioprospecting, the exploration of natural resources for micro and macro molecules, biochemical and genetic information, for example, can employ thousands of Bhutanese youth in an industry that has the potential to both produce and provide.
Economic development must begin from looking inward.
But then, sustainable utilisation of natural resources is one thing, making it equally beneficial is another. That’s what strategy 2040 must address. | <urn:uuid:9339220b-1047-435a-b230-25666495e157> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://kuenselonline.com/looking-beyond-rnr-strategy-2040/ | 2024-04-20T17:42:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.958479 | 605 |
These people save lives.
Welcome to Rujeko Covid-19 Isolation Clinic in Masvingo.
The well organised COVID Clinic has 11 beds for patients, a well maintained garden and an exceptionally dedicated team who are doing what it takes to save lives and help people breathe.
Given the numbers of lives they’ve saved, their track record is so outstanding that public and private hospitals and clinicians across the province refer Covid patients to Rujeko.
Secrets of their success:
How they’re saving so many lives
1. They prepared well (training, practice & setting up oxygen therapy systems)
- Rujeko Clinic received donations of 6 OxERA kits TWO months before they had Covid patients who needed oxygen support. In order to become familiar and skilled with the innovative OxERA device, the whole team watched the 20 min training video every day during May and June.
- They also set up the equipment, filled their oxygen tanks and connected the devices to be ready for immediate deployment.
- When the first patient arrived gasping for oxygen, they were ready and confident to quickly use OxERAs as part of the oxygen treatments for severely ill patients.
2. They use the equipment on patients who can benefit the most
- They realised that they could put the sickest patients on the device (those who have the lowest blood oxygen levels) – in most cases they would quickly improve.
3. They use limited resources wisely
- They reuse the devices (after careful sterilisation) with new patients as needed.
- They de-escalate patients to simple oxygen rebreather masks when possible.
- They are also able to reduce the oxygen flow rate as patients improve, thus saving oxygen for use with the next patient.
Like the Rujeko team, Kufema is also preparing for the next wave.
Just like these amazing people at Rujeko, Kufema has a small team, limited resources, and a mighty impact.
We’d love your help in growing our impact, so together we can help save more lives and help more people breathe.
By supporting Kufema you help get much needed equipment and support into the hands of healthworker heroes across the nation.
We couldn’t succeed without the incredible dedication of our volunteers, supporters and well wishers like you.
Thank you so much for cheering us on.

People always think oil painting is the hardest medium to learn. I say it’s the easiest IF you do a few key things! I’m sharing some of those in these 8 oil painting tips!
Tip #1 Paper Towels
Oil paint doesn’t play nicely with all paper towels. The only paper towel I recommend is VIVA. And I already know what a handful of inexperienced people who think they know all the things will say “I have to disagree with you. Regular paper towels work just fine.” I mean sure… so does wearing one shoe around town. I can get around with one naked foot but that isn’t the most effective way to do things.
Viva is like using cloth. Paint thinner and oils make an absolute mess when you try using regular paper towels. Trust me, just pick up some Viva. You can also use old rags/t shirts.
Tip #2 Monochromatic Base Layers
This isn’t a must like the paper towels, but it does make things easier for you. When you paint your underpainting in black and white or browns and white, all you have to worry about are values and shapes. You remove a major challenge when painting…mixing colors. We’re going to keep that as a separate step making our lives a bit easier. Do you HAVE to paint a monochromatic base layer? Of course not, but it does simplify things!
Tip #3 A Little Paint Goes a LONG Way
If you’ve previously painted in acrylics you may be tempted to buy the HUGE tubes of oil paint. Unless you’re painting with a palette knive or thick chunky paintings where you use a LOT of paint, you don’t need this! When you put paint on your palette, a tiny amount goes pretty far. Save your money and your paint, start with less and add more as needed to your palette!
Tip #4 Limited Color Palette
When we’re learning to mix colors we often think we should just buy every color we might need like it’s a paint by number. Nope! You’re better off using fewer colors and learning to mix the color you need. By limiting your color palette you will learn more about mixing colors than any video or book can teach you. Plus you ensure that the colors you’re using work well together. By using 4 different blue paints you can end up with a painting that lacks color harmony. When you set up your palette, choose one red, one magenta or purple, one yellow, one blue etc and blend what you need from there. This makes the process less confusing and teaches you by necessity about mixing colors!
Tip #5 Palette Setup
Oil paints are the only medium I work in where I do this. Reds/yellows/oranges are easy to see the color of, but when you move into magenta, greens, blues, browns, and black, many of these all look the same when they’re on your palette. If you get in the habit now of ALWAYS putting your colors in the same place, you won’t have issues figuring out which is which. This avoids accidentally grabbing black when you meant to add purple and not finding out till you hit the canvas.
This is my setup. Feel free to save this image and use it yourself! That doesn’t mean I use the same blue each time, but I always know that whatever blues I’m using go in that spot.
Tip #6 Don’t Overblend!
If a couple of blending brushstrokes looks good…50 must look better!! NO! JUST NO! Oils are amazing because they stay wet long enough that you can blend like a champ, but less is more. Normally you only need a couple of brush strokes to get the results you want. If you keep blending you lose your lights and darks and end up with one muddy mess.
Tip #7 Let it DRY!
Speaking of over blending, when you hit a point where your colors are mixing together and creating a muddy mess, that’s a big sign that it’s time to end your painting session and let that layer dry or at the very least tack up a bit. If you use Liquin as your mixing medium as I do, what you’ve painted should be dry overnight (unless you’re painting super chunky but that’s another style so you’re not likely here for that). When things are smudging too much just stop for the day. Sometimes even waiting a few hours is enough for the paint to start tacking up enough that you can continue painting, but if you try again and it’s still a slippery feeling, just wait. Oil paints are one of the easiest mediums in my opinion to learn, but you HAVE to let them dry between layers as needed. This is usually where things go wrong for beginners.
Tip #8 Varnish
Most varnishes say the painting needs to be dry for 6 months before you can apply them. Obviously, this isn’t going to work for any of us who sell. Instead, use Gamvar by Gamblin. This varnish can be applied when your painting is dry to the touch! If you have shiny spots where you went heavier with the liquin, this will even all of that out by adding a nice gloss too!

The power of storytelling in marketing and tips for using storytelling elements such as plot, characters, and conflict to connect with visitors and increase conversions
Storytelling is a powerful tool for engaging visitors and building an emotional connection with them. When used correctly, storytelling can help to make your landing pages more effective and increase conversions.
Here are some tips for using storytelling on landing pages:
Identify a problem
The first step in using storytelling on your landing pages is to identify a problem that your product or service can solve. This problem should be something that your target audience can relate to and that they are actively searching for a solution to.
Create a hero
Once you have identified a problem, you can create a hero that represents your target audience and who is facing the same problem. The hero should be relatable and likeable, and should be someone that your target audience can identify with.
Show the hero's journey
Use your landing page to show the hero's journey as they encounter the problem and then find and use your product or service to solve it. Showing the hero's journey can help visitors to understand how your product or service can help them to solve their own problem.
Use emotional language
Use emotional language throughout your landing page to help visitors connect with the hero's story and to build an emotional connection with your product or service.
Use visuals to help tell the story on your landing page. Use images and videos to help visitors to visualize the hero's journey and to build an emotional connection with your product or service.
Use a clear call-to-action
Use a clear and compelling call-to-action (CTA) at the end of the story to encourage visitors to take action and buy your product or service.
Use customer testimonials
Use customer testimonials to provide social proof and to show that other people have had success with your product or service. This can help to build trust and credibility with visitors.
Use storytelling throughout your website
storytelling should not be limited to just the landing pages, but should be used throughout the website and in all the marketing campaigns.
By using storytelling on your landing pages, you can create an emotional connection with visitors and increase conversions. Remember that storytelling is not only about making the visitor connect with the story, but also to make them understand how your product or service can solve their problems and to help them achieve their goals. | <urn:uuid:ba0d7b65-a7ea-46e8-ab75-bb19c5014296> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://landinghunt.com/posts/how-to-use-storytelling-on-landing-pages | 2024-04-20T16:20:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.938541 | 487 |

Altair Solar Wedge 2021 Version 2 with improved cooling for longer use with larger refractors. The Altair Solar Wedge (Herschel Wedge) replaces the normal 2" mirror or prism diagonal at the rear of your refractor telescope. The Solar Wedge transmits a greatly reduced, safe amount of light to the eyepiece or camera.
Altair Imaging Ready Solar Wedge makes it safe for both visual use with an eyepiece, or astrophotography with a CMOS camera such as the Altair GPCAM or Hypercam.
Altair Solar Wedge is "imaging ready" because you can fine-tune the image brightness without removing your camera to get the best exposure, gain and contrast setting for your CMOS camera such as Altair Hypercam or GPCAM series.
Solar wedges are well known to give a sharper, higher-contrast image than traditional metallized solar film or front-mounted glass solar filters, by eliminating all reflections between the filter and telescope lens. The result is a sharper, extremely high contrast view of sun spots and solar surface granulation. Sun spot centres look a much darker black compared to views with solar films or front glass filters. The difference is quite remarkable and immediately visible in the eyepiece.
The Altair Solar Wedge has special anti-reflection coatings on the internal polarising filter and prism. A high specification prism gives the ultimate in sharpness and resolution for imaging and observing.
Compared with normal solar film filters, the improvement the Altair Solar Wedge offers is dramatic. Sunspots appear a much darker black against the surface of the sun, with the grey area around the sunspot being very separate and distinct from the darker central area. Many who have never seen fine surface granulation before will see it easily! Please note this product is designed to be used with REFRACTORS ONLY
- Wide brightness adjustment range allows imaging AND visual use - in one unit.
- High quality, large prism.
- 115mm backfocus / optical path length enables use with most refractors.
- Anti Reflection (AR) coated prism and polariser.
- 46mm clear aperture.
- Quick, easy centering of the sun with glowing spot on rear diffuser.
- Does not become as hot as other models, thanks to rear energy diffuser.
- 2" "Positive Lock" compression ring for fast accessory changes.
- Includes 2"-1.25" adapter.
- Sturdy CNC machined casing to hold heavy binoviewers or a DSLR camera, filter wheel etc.
- Includes Comprehensive Altair Solar Wedge instruction sheet also downloadable here (opens new window).
Safe and easy to use: Unlike cheaper solar wedges which overheat or worse, direct excess energy downwards into the ground, the Altair Imaging-Ready Solar Wedge directs energy into a special extra thick Polycrystalline Ceramic diffuzer disc at the back of the Wedge. Air vents allow air circulation by convection. The Polycrystalline disc has the added benefit of acting like a "solar finder". The sun appears as a "ball of light" on the back of the disc simply move your telescope until the ball of light is in the centre of the disc, and you are aligned with the sun! Read the
Altair Solar Wedge instructions here (opens new window).One wedge does it all! Both solar photography or visual observation: Often solar wedges don't give enough light for high speed exposures needed to "freeze" air-motion for a sharp image. The Altair Solar Wedge has an AR coated internal polarising filter, which let's you control the brightness of the image. Brightness can be increased or decreased by rotating the top assembly, then locking it in the desired position with a side thumbscrew. Variable brightness is very important both for visual and imaging use, to fine tune the ideal exposure time, or the ideal contrast levels at the eyepiece - especially when adding a colour filter such as a green continuum filter for extra contrast. Unlike other makes, the Altair Solar Wedge enables both visual and imaging applications
without having to change internal filters. With the solar wedge in "bright" mode, exposure times as low as 2 milliseconds are routinely possible with high speed CMOS cameras like the Altair Hypercam or GPCAM. This effectively "freezes" the seeing (air movement) resulting in an incredibly sharp image.
Altair Solar Wedge Questions and answers:Firstly you can download the Altair Solar Wedge instructions here (opens new window). Q: How do I observe the sun safely with a telescope and filter or Solar Wedge? If you view the sun through a telescope or binoculars without a professional filter product, immediate and permanent eye damage will result. This has discouraged people from exploring this fascinating subject, however observing the sun is perfectly safe, provided you use your filter equipment correctly. Each wedge ships with instructions which must be read and understood completely before using the product. Never allow children to observe the sun with a telescope and wedge or filter without the supervision of a knowledgeable adult. Never remove a solar filter or wedge without first placing the front lens cap on the telescope. Always securely fasten solar filters or Solar Wedge securely to the telescope. Always remove any optical finder from the telescope before pointing it at the sun because you could inadvertently look through it. (Use the safe Altair solar finder with Solar Filters or Wedge. Code: SOLARFINDER).
Q: How do I set up the Altair Solar Wedge safely?A: Safe setup procedure:
PLEASE NOTE this product does not work with reflectors, only refractors.
- With the front objective lens caps still in place. Remove the finder scope from the telescope and replace it with a safe non-optical solar finder such as the Altair Solar Finder. (Code: SOLARFINDER)
- Add the Solar Wedge in place of your existing 2" diagonal mirror. Screw the included Neutral density filter into the base of a low-power 1.25" eyepiece and insert it into the included 1.25" eyepiece holder on the back of the Solar Wedge.
- Point the telescope at the sun until it's centred in the solar-finder.
- Remove the front lens cap from the telescope. A glowing ball of light should appear on the translucent disc on the rear of the Altair Solar Wedge. Move the telescope so the glowing ball of light is centred on the disc.
- Approach the telescope, and look through the eyepiece. If the image is too bright, loosen the locking thumbscrew and turn the turret top until it's a little dim. Fasten the locking screw in this position and remove the eyepiece. Remove the neutral density filter and replace the eyepiece.
- You can now fine-tune the brightness further by rotating the turret-top and locking it. You will find that high power eyepieces require a little additional brightness compared to low power ones, which is normal.
Q: What telescopes can I use with a Solar Herschel Wedge? A: Altair Solar Wedge V1 works with refracting telescopes up to 6" (~152mm) aperture. Solar wedge V2 can be used with refractors up to 7" (~175mm). Refracting telescopes have a front objective lens, and rear eyepiece. Please note this product is designed to be used with REFRACTORS ONLY. It is dangerous to use ANY reflecting telescope with mirrors with a Herschel Solar Wedge due to the risk of fire and excessive heat from reflections within the tube. This includes Maksutov Cassegrains, Schmidt Cassegrains, Newtonians, Classical Cassegrains, Cassegrains, and Ritchey Chretiens, in fact anything utilising mirrors to form an image.
Q: Will the Altair Solar Wedge come to focus with my refractor telescope? A:The Altair Solar Wedge has an optical path length (also known as "backfocus" of 115mm from the front telescope facing side (excluding the 2" barrel) to the top of the 2" turret where the eyepiece or camera is inserted. This is similar to most 2" mirror diagonals, and shorter than most other solar wedges to maximise compatibility.
Q: Can I used coloured filters like solar continuum filters with the Altair Solar Wedge? A: Yes you can but only if added AFTER the wedge. NEVER add ANY filter in front of a Solar Wedge (..e. between wedge and telescope) because it will crack or melt due to the concentrated heat from the sun, damaging the inside of your telescope. Remember this product cannot be used with a reflector, refractors only!
Q: How do I "tune" the image brightness for imaging? A: When imaging the sun using "lucky" imaging techniques with a high frame rate camera like the Altair Hypercam, it's best to keep the exposure duration of the camera as short as possible - ideally under 10 milliseconds is ideal, though less than 5ms is even better. This "freezes" air motion to show granulation and other small details. Being designed for visual or imaging use, the internal polariser module (controlled by rotating the turret top) has a wider brightness range than normal Hershel wedges allowing fast frame rates and short exposure duration. When set for fast frame rates, the image can appear very bright visually through an eyepiece - like looking at a light bulb. This is uncomfortable, but not dangerous due to the protective ND filter inside the unit allowing 0.1% of light through. Therefore, an additional 1.25" neutral density filter is provided, which transmits 75% of light, blocking 25% for initial focusing and setup with an eyepiece. When you first set up the Wedge and align it with the sun for visual use, you should add the provided 1.25" Neutral Density filter to the eyepiece, then rotate the turret-top until the image is quite dim. Once you are satisfied with the balance of contrast and sharpness, lock the polariser locking thumbscrew, and you are ready to observe. If using the wedge for imaging only, you can just insert the camera and turn the turret-top until you are satisfied with the exposure duration and gain settings.
Q: For how long can you keep the wedge aimed at the sun? A: The Altair Solar Wedge has been fully tested with the sun remaining in the centre of the field of view for 5 hours of continual exposure with a 6" (152mm) aperture refractor in mid-summer in the UK. At no point did the outer prism housing become too hot to touch, a problem common with other wedges. Whilst we cannot recommend use with telescopes of larger than 6 (152mm) aperture for longer or shorter duration, if your telescope is larger, then we suggest trying the wedge for a short time initially, to assess the heat build-up and make your own informed decision.

The MIT Research Seminar in French and Francophone Studies presents Identities, Communities, and Spaces.
Same-sex marriage became legal in France in May 2013. Large protests against gay marriage erupted despite opinion polls revealing a growing acceptance of homosexuality. Tissot compares two neighborhoods—Le Marais in Paris and Park Slope in Brooklyn—to examine “gay-friendliness.” To what extent are gay-friendly attitudes shared in these communities? What underlies these attitudes? To what extent have they become the social marker of a specific social layer? Sylvie Tissot is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Paris 8. Before studying gay-friendliness in Paris and New York, she did fieldwork on gentrification and upper middle class culture in Boston, and on urban policies in the outskirts of Paris. Her most recent book, De bons voisins (Good Neighbors. Researching Upper Middle Class Progressives), was published in French in 2011 and will be published in English in 2014. | <urn:uuid:d4bc4046-93a0-4db2-b7db-e892e3a47fb5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://languages.mit.edu/events/sylvie-tissot/ | 2024-04-20T17:42:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.937028 | 207 |
Most people don’t know that the house always wins in casinos. Although the casino doesn’t care if you lose or win, it has a business model that ensures profitability by including built-in advantages. These built-in advantages include the house edge, which represents the average gross profit a casino receives from every game. The longer you play, the higher your house edge will be and the more likely you’ll lose. Therefore, casino gambling is not for the faint of heart, but for those who enjoy a good game of blackjack.
While you’re in a casino, you’ll be in a state of euphoria. It may be a rush to enter the casino, but a little acclimatization is necessary before playing. Try to avoid alcohol or other drugs before entering a casino, as they can have the opposite effect of your desired outcome. Also, don’t let your excitement interfere with your sense of timing. Stay calm and rational.
While this may not seem like an ideal situation, most casinos do a good job of enticing gamblers. You’ll find great comps, enticing servers, and interesting deals that keep people coming back for more. Casinos are aware of this human nature, and they have adapted to this by developing programs that reward people for playing more often. So if you’re a high roller, you might get a free drink or a free meal. If you’re a high roller, you might win more than you’ve spent on the slot machine. | <urn:uuid:62958d2c-d991-40cb-8986-aed91d2f1952> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://laptoprepairdepot.ca/the-house-always-wins-in-casinos/ | 2024-04-20T17:42:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.94446 | 318 |
Slots are openings that are narrow in shape and designed to allow the passage of something. They are also commonly used to describe an airliner’s wings, which are fitted with slots to improve air flow. There are different types of slots, including video slots and traditional slot machines. In the modern world, slot machines are generally operated by computers. Many of them feature many paylines, and some even have bonus rounds.
Slot machines also have different levels of risk and volatility, which affects the amount of money that you can win. The lower the variance, the greater the odds of winning. Likewise, high variance machines pay out less frequently but pay out larger amounts. So, it is essential to choose your slot game carefully. If you choose to play slot games online, it is important to learn the basics before you go and play with money.
Different types of slot machines allow players to place a large number of coins on a single spin. However, you may not want to bet more than 20 coins on a single spin. Choosing the right number of coins will help you win more money than you invest. There are also different types of slot machines that allow players to use only a certain amount of coins per spin.
Modern slot machines also utilize microprocessors to assign probabilities to the symbols. This way, they can reward players for large jackpots. While the classic machines had one single payline, today’s games have 22 symbols and allow for tens of thousands of combinations. | <urn:uuid:223a6e8b-3ec3-4153-9461-47e6cafe683b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://laptoprepairdepot.ca/what-are-slots-12/ | 2024-04-20T17:37:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.968178 | 302 |
Since its grand opening in 1957, the Tropicana Resort on the glittering Las Vegas Boulevard has stood as a beacon of luxury and entertainment in the heart of the desert. However, as times change and the city evolves, the iconic Tropicana is set to bid farewell to its patrons, making way for a new chapter in the city’s ever-evolving landscape.
When the Tropicana opened on Las Vegas Boulevard in 1957, it was the most expensive resort that had ever been built in the city.
When the Tropicana first opened its doors over six decades ago, it was heralded as the epitome of opulence and grandeur, setting a new standard for resorts in the burgeoning gambling capital of the world. With its lush tropical theme, sprawling casino floor, and glamorous entertainment options, the Tropicana quickly became a favorite destination for visitors from around the globe.
Constructed at a staggering cost, the Tropicana was the most expensive resort ever built in Las Vegas at the time of its inauguration. Its towering palm trees, cascading waterfalls, and lavish accommodations captured the imagination of all who crossed its threshold, earning it a place among the city’s most iconic landmarks.
Over the years, the Tropicana witnessed the transformation of Las Vegas from a humble desert outpost to a world-renowned entertainment destination. It played host to countless celebrities, high-rollers, and leisure-seekers, each eager to experience the magic of Sin City within its walls.
However, as the city continued to evolve, so too did the demands of its visitors. With newer, more extravagant resorts springing up along the Strip, the Tropicana found itself facing stiff competition in an increasingly crowded market. Despite numerous renovations and rebranding efforts, it became apparent that the time had come for the Tropicana to pass the torch to the next generation of Las Vegas landmarks.
The decision to close the Tropicana and make way for a new ballpark represents a bittersweet moment in the city’s history. While it marks the end of an era for one of Las Vegas’ most beloved institutions, it also signals the dawn of a new chapter in the city’s ongoing evolution.
As the Tropicana prepares to dim its lights for the final time, it leaves behind a legacy that will be remembered fondly by all who had the pleasure of experiencing its hospitality. From its glamorous casino floor to its legendary entertainment lineup, the Tropicana will forever hold a special place in the hearts of Las Vegas residents and visitors alike.
As the sun sets on the Tropicana Resort, Las Vegas looks toward the future with anticipation and excitement, eager to embrace the new opportunities that lie ahead. While the iconic resort may be closing its doors, its spirit will live on in the memories of all those who were fortunate enough to be a part of its storied history. | <urn:uuid:2153772e-b777-4759-9747-cc9b97576eed> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://lasvegastoday.com/index.php/2024/04/01/las-vegas-iconic-tropicana-resort-to-close-its-doors/ | 2024-04-20T16:44:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.951527 | 591 |

I lost it!!!!!
I could not sleep and it was hard to think of anything else. My mind was spinning out of control. I lost my mind over something so insignificant, yet felt so important. As I packed for my end-of-the year hiatus to the beach, I could not find my favorite bikini (in the picture above:).
Yes, this is the truth and what totally created havoc in my life for more than 24 hours. I searched and searched and could not find it. Despite having six other bathing suits packed, I wanted this one.
I tried to meditate, I tried to let it go, I tried, I tried, I tried, but I failed miserably. I literally could not let it go until I found it. After searching through our drawers multiple times and even going through our good will bag, I found it folded in my husband’s bathing suit from a prior outing. When I found it, I screamed like I won the lottery and felt a huge weight lifted from my shoulders.
After it was over, I realized I really needed to get away and get re-centered. When the search for a bathing suit begins to take over your brain, you know it is time for some rest.
The search for the bathing suit was about much more than the bathing suit; it was more about the fact that I have been so busy that I rush through everything and can’t remember what I am doing from one moment to the next. When we lose focus, when we lose our ground, when we can’t stop to think long enough to figure it out, then we need to slow down and take a pause.
So that being said, I am happy to report that I am leaving for the beach with my favorite bikini and will try my best to disconnect from social media and begin to reconnect to my inner-self so that I can come back bringing you more love and inspiration.
With fall quickly approaching and our activity levels moving back to super speed, do you need to hit the pause button, the reset button or hit the emergency brake? Before you crash and before you lose it, take notice where you are and what you need. Breathe!!!! Sit Still! SLOW DOWN!
Sending you strength, love and peace!

ISLAMABAD : Swiss authorities have dismissed Pakistan’s appeal to reopen investigation into alleged corruption by former president Asif Ali Zardari, saying the government did not submit plea within the time frame.
The National Accountabiliy Bureau (NAB) in its reply to the Supreme Court of Pakistan said the anti-graft watchdog had to close its National Reconciliation Ordinance inquiry in 2012 due to dismissal of the plea by the Swiss government.
The report also stated that there was no available record of the loss to the national exchequer in cases closed under the NRO in 2007, adding that further details were being collected.
The graft cases were shelved in 2007 after then attorney general Malik Qayum wrote letters to the Swiss authorities following the promulgation of the NRO by then-president Musharraf. The Supreme Court, however, scrapped the NRO in 2009 and declared that all cases closed under the defunct law stood open. | <urn:uuid:cd40c782-aa75-49c6-8897-84a8fa1e0cd8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://leadpakistan.com.pk/news/swiss-cases-against-zardari-cant-be-reopened-nab-tells-sc/ | 2024-04-20T16:26:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.977561 | 197 |

Add users to Azure Pipelines
Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019
Permissions for build and release pipelines are primarily set at the object-level for a specific build or release, or for select tasks, at the collection level.
You can manage security for different types of resources such as variable groups, secure files, and deployment groups by adding users or groups to that role. Project administrator can grant or restrict access to project resources. If you want to allow a team member to edit pipelines, you must be a project administrator in order to do so.
Add users to your project
Navigate to your project's summary page:
Select the Invite button to add a user to your project, and then fill out the required fields. Select Add when you are done.
The new user must accept the invitation before they can start creating or modifying pipelines.
Verify permissions for contributors
A security best practice is to only grant permissions to required users or groups. The Contributors group may be too broad in a given project.
To verify the permissions for your project's contributors, make sure you are a member of the Build Administrators group or the Project Administrators group. See Change project-level permissions for more details.
From within your project, select Pipelines > Pipelines. Select the All tab, and then select the more actions menu then Manage security.

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is a relatively novel technology, which uses a fibre-optic cable as sensor. Advantages are that the cable is passive, it does not have separate detectors and the channel spacing can be set by the instrument. DAS has
already found applications in monitoring of hydraulic fracturing and VSPs. A downside is that a straight fibre has no broadside sensitivity and can therefore not be used for reflection seismic with horizontal cables. A helically wound cable (HWC)
solves that problem; the video describes a field trial, which confirms the theoretically expected isotropic sensitivity of the HWC for P-waves.

Essays and photographs that document the anti-Asian riots of 1907 in the context of contemporary anti-Asian sentiment.
White Riot: The 1907 Anti-Asian Riots in Vancouver explores the conditions leading up to and the impact of a demonstration and parade in Vancouver, Canada, organized by the Asiatic Exclusion League and the ensuing mob attack on the city's Chinese Canadian and Japanese Canadian communities. Emblematic of a systemically racist era, White Riot reveals the social and political environment of the time, when racialized communities were targeted through legislated as well as physical acts of exclusion and violence.
Based on 360 Riot Walk, a 360-degree video walking tour by artist and author Henry Tsang, White Riot offers an intersectional approach to this pivotal moment in the history of racialized communities and a cultural and social context for understanding for the current wave of anti-Asian sentiment. It features photographs of the riots colourized by Tsang as well as those of contemporary Vancouver where the riots took place. Essays by Tsang and others speak to the colonial times that preceded and followed the 1907 riots, as well as issues that Chinese and Japanese communities (and other racialized communities) in North America are facing today. White Riot poses the question: in the current ethos of anti-racism and decolonization, what does it take to reconcile our collective histories within the legacy of white supremacy?
Includes essays by Paul Englesberg, Melody Ma, Patricia Roy, Nicole Yakashiro and Angela May Kruger, Andy Yan, and Su-Anne Yeo. | <urn:uuid:d9d1e168-2ea3-437e-83ee-9e5727fd1496> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://leftwingbooks.net/en-us/products/white-riot-the-1907-anti-asian-riots-in-vancouver | 2024-04-20T16:38:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.946404 | 317 |
Fossil of the Day: Canada takes a commanding lead
Canada has taken a commanding lead here in Durban in the Fossil of the Day awards. The award is given daily at the climate change negotiations for the country doing its best to impede, stall or otherwise oppose progress in climate negotiations. The award is judged by 700+ member organizations of Climate Action Network.
In the past three days, Canada has earned itself two first place and two second place medals, including an impressive sweep on Day 1 in Durban. (The U.S. and Poland deserve honorable mention for their first place medals.) Canada looks on track to earn a 5th consecutive Fossil of the Year.
How did Canada manage such a run? Well, on Monday Canada said it will not entertain a second commitment period for Kyoto. In fact, reports suggest that Canada will take its ball and go home, by formally withdrawing from Kyoto. (If it does, it would be the first such withdrawal.) The official government news agency of China, Xinhua, reprimanded Canada for setting a “bad example.”
Also Monday, Canada insulted all developing countries with this assertion from Canadian Environmental Minister Peter Kent:
Emerging and developing countries need to stop “wielding the historical guilty card” and asking for a free pass on emissions reductions just because in the past, industrialized countries had more emissions than the rest of the world.
Yes, after a few hundred years of emissions by developed countries, apparently Canada feels that it is time for developing countries to pay the price.
And here is Mr.Kent on Tuesday, for the gold:
There is an urgency to this. We don’t need a binding convention, what we need is action and a mandate to work on an eventual binding convention.
Does anyone else object to the use of the words urgency and eventual in the same thought?
On Wednesday, Mr. Kent was back on his crusade to make poor, developing countries on the front lines of climate impacts pay for the mistakes of Canada:
There is a fairly widely held perception in the developing world of the need for guilt payment to be built into any international deal on climate.
Mr. Kent’s view stands in direct opposition to the principle of “Common But Differentiated Responsibilities,” upon which Kyoto was constructed. The idea is simple: those who have contributed the most to the problem should contribute the most to the solution. By that measure, Mr. Kent has some work to do. | <urn:uuid:8a1ccb9c-0623-4b3a-9438-33a597928425> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://legal-planet.org/2011/12/01/12606/ | 2024-04-20T16:53:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.969431 | 511 |

NOTHING HAPPENS AND WE REPORT IT
The starting point for artistic exploration was the question: is “nothing” in art possible at all? And if not, why do we often say on leaving the theatre: it was basically about nothing, or: nothing really happened here? And what if one tried with all his might to do “nothing”, to produce no meanings? Won’t it, by any chance, turn out that Leibniz was right in assuming that in the universe (spectacle?) there is always something rather than nothing?
The piece is intended to become a poetical manifesto and perverse apotheosis of dance itself and the power of man’s body as a medium. For no matter how hard we would like to suppress it, it will always tell stories from which, no matter how hard we try, we cannot escape…
”… a bright and artistically mature observation – far from an easy provocation”.

Kylie Jenner’s Fashion Week streak continues to grow.
The Kylie Cosmetics mogul made her most recent appearance in Paris last week at the Jean Paul Gaultier haute couture show, where she dazzled in a form-fitting color-blocked corset gown. The stunning dress’s strapless bustier featured panels in iridescent baby blue and peachy pink. The black skintight skirt with its short train and floor-length hem stood in dramatic contrast to the pastel bodice.
Jenner wore simple black shoes and no jewelry to complete the rest of her look. She created an Old Hollywood-style high bun out of her black raven hair that was gelled.
Jenner has been in the news since the start of Paris Fashion Week. The reality TV star donned a strapless, ruched gown made of black velvet at Schiaparelli’s exhibition last week Monday. But the lion’s head affixed on the dress’ bust, which was incredibly lifelike, caused the most controversy. Additionally, the faux-taxidermy ornament made its runway premiere while being worn by model Irina Shayk. Animal heads were sewn onto the bosoms of the clothing worn by Naomi Campbell and Shalom Harlow as they strutted down the runway in allegory-inspired looks.
Daniel Roseberry, the creative director at Schiaparelli, spoke on Instagram about the outrage surrounding his outlandish collection – “3 animals sculpted and embroidered by hand, celebrating the glory of nature and guarding the woman who wears it. Thé léopard, thé lion, and thé she wolf. All from Dante’s Inferno.” | <urn:uuid:963e401a-b26f-4fcd-a779-c1240a4aaa40> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://leurr.com/fashion/fashion-week/kylie-jenner-corset-gown-jean-paul-gaultier/ | 2024-04-20T16:55:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.943418 | 358 |

“Polymer-Induced Drag-Reduction in Turbulent Flows of High-Salinity Fluids”
Produced waters are high-salinity fluids that are produced as a by-product during oil and gas production from the wellbores. These fluids are often re-injected in the unconventional reservoirs along with some additives and proppants (silica particles) to induce and sustain fractures, and thereby increase oil/gas production. To enable these fluids to carry the proppants at low viscosities, the fluids are pumped are exorbitant flow rates. Such high flow rates could only be facilitated by drag reduction during flow which may be induced by the polymer additives in the fluid.
The phenomenon of polymer-induced drag reduction is inter-play of two distinct areas of physics, i.e. flow turbulence and polymer dynamics. The present work investigates one additional dimension to this phenomenon, i.e. fluid salinity which influences polymer relaxation and accordingly, governs the ability of the polymer to alleviate drag. To understand the drag reduction behavior in these high salinity fluids, the current work focuses on addition of two synthesized polymers: first is a co-polymer of acrylamide and acrylic acid, and the second is a ter-polymer of acrylamide, acrylic acid and a functional group.
The classical von-Karman law for Newtonian turbulence, had demonstrated a logarithmic relation between the scaled fluid-velocity vs. scaled wall-distance in a turbulent near-wall region. The literature has also shown that when the drag-reducing polymers are added to the fluid, at a constant pressure gradient, the scaled fluid-velocity would be higher compared to that in the Newtonian case. Further, the phenomenological studies have illustrated that this polymer-induced rise in the scaled fluid-velocity corresponds to drag reduction for the flow; however, this rise has a limit as defined by the Virk’s asymptote. From a slightly different perspective, the same studies reflect distinct drag reduction regimes in the Re-Wi (Flow Reynolds number- Weissenberg number) parameter space; where Wi defines the “coil-stretch” response of the polymer in the fluid. In the present work, we investigate how the fluid salinity affects the polymer relaxation behavior i.e. Wi number and accordingly changes the drag reduction response of the fluid.
For evaluation of the drag reduction performance in the laboratory, an automated flow-loop was built to mimic wellbore flow conditions. Using a centrifugal pump, fluid flow rate in the range of 10 –50 litres/min. was achieved to create turbulent flow condition in a 5 ft long ¼” SS tubing. The flow rate was measured using an electro-magnetic flow-meter while the pressure drop across the ¼” tubing section was measured using a differential pressure transducer. The flow rate is electronically controlled using a VFD and the pressure drop vs. flow rate data is logged on automatically using a PLC and a user-interface. The experimental evaluation was conducted for the fluids with added polymers and with variation in the fluid salinity in the following ranges: NaCl salt amount variation from 0 – 200,000 ppm while the CaCl2 salt amount variation 0 – 55,000 ppm. This variation in fluid salinity cover the most of plausible variations in the field fracturing application of these fluids. Additionally, for evaluation of the viscosity performance of the fluids in the laboratory, a conventional oil-field viscometer was used.
The obtained experimental data was used to build a semi-empirical correlations that predict the polymer relaxation response i.e. Wi number as a function of the fluid salinity. Ultimately, for the studied range of parameters, a correlation between % drag reduction during the flow and polymer Wi number was developed. The experimental data and models also evidently depicted that the synthesized ter-polymer provides a superior salt-tolerance compared to the co-polymer for the range of parameters studied.

By Kaylee Greenlee
On the first day of classes, a high school teacher in Westchester County issued an assignment that included a comic style strip comparing police officers to slave owners and Ku Klux Klan members, the New York Post reported.
The assignment was part of a chapter on “European Colonization of America,” given by Westlake High School teacher Christopher Moreno to 11th graders on Sept. 8, the Post reported.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
The image depicted five versions of the same illustration that depicted one man kneeling on another’s neck, according to a picture of the assignment obtained by the Post. Types of men shown kneeling included a slaver, a KKK member, and a police officer.
Captions under the pictures said “white only” and “I can’t breathe,” according to the picture. The assignment asked students to “describe the goals of the Black Lives Matter movement” and whether or not they agreed with the movement.
“My daughter showed me the paper. I said, `What is this?! You’ve got to be kidding me!’” Ania Paternostro, the mother of a student at Westlake said. “This cartoon compares the police to the KKK. It’s an attack on the police.”
Paternostro said she sent letters addressing the assignment to Mount Pleasant School District Superintendent Kurt Kotes and Westlake Principal Keith Schenker.
“Enough is enough,” she said. “This cartoon is disturbing. We have to respect the men in blue who protect us,” Paternostro added. “We don’t need a teacher brainwashing my kids. I’ll teach my kids about what’s right and what’s wrong.”
Paternostro’s daughter Nicole expressed concerns about the assignment, saying she thought it was one-sided and anti-police, the Post reported. Nicole said she has been bullied and called racist on social media since expressing her opinion on the assignment.
“The cartoon was disgusting,’’ Nicole said. “It compared the police with all the terrible people in history. It was not fair. It wasn’t right.’’
Kotes sent a letter to the parents of students in Moreno’s class which promised an “investigation” into the assignment.
“I want to address an issue that I have recently been advised is of deep concern to many members of our community,’’ Kotes said. “Specifically, I have been advised that one of our High School teachers may have recently conducted a lesson that many have deemed to be highly controversial in the current climate.”
Kotes added that he would update the community once the investigation concludes.
Steve Kardain, a retired Mt. Pleasant police officer and former New York City Department of Investigations prober called the assignment a “smack in the face to law enforcement. It’s an absolutely a smear of the police,” Kardian said.
“Parents don’t send their children to school to learn to hate America and our police,” Former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino said.
“Our schools should be a place for the open exchange of ideas, not political indoctrination,” Astorino said. “The false narratives and brainwashing has to stop.”

I'm up early this morning to give myself plenty of time to get the ferry back to Mallaig today and what a sight.
The deer are lying on the beach as I pack up and it's so peaceful that I'll be sad to leave Rum behind. All packed up and back on the track at 7:30am I feel the joys of the early morning.
I hadn't quite realised until yesterday but the ferry this morning goes all around the Small Isles again before it gets back to Mallaig and so I have a good 5 hours of nothing to do before I can start my ride south on the mainland. The sea is choppy and it's a bit windy so I sit inside and while away the time drinking tea and staring out of the window.
Arriving in Mallaig at 2pm I feel like I've been up forever and it's time to start thinking of where to camp rather than the reality of just being about to start the days riding. My plan is just to get as far south as possible as I'm headed for Kilchoan to get the ferry over to the Isle of Mull.
Immediately I'm riding into a headwind, urgh! The road is fast and busy and I am not enjoying it as I make my way towards Lochailort. Stopping at the Lochailort Inn for a pot of tea I'm greeted by a woman who looks like she'd rather chop her own finger off than serve me and her attitude doesn't improve when I later ask for a top up of water in my teapot. How she gets any business is beyond me but then there was only one other person in there so maybe she doesn't!
The wind didn't improve any as I continued on the road to Glenuig. It was 8 miles and I'd decided that I would stop there for the night. It started to drizzle and that just didn't help matters any. I totally wasn't feeling the riding and longed for the miles to disappear.
I hate feeling like this when I'm riding. I get angry at myself for not enjoying it and it's a vicious circle of frustration and anger. Riding along the coast there were some nice views and I forced myself to take them in and try to find something to smile about.
Tired and rather miserable I arrived in Glenuig. I needed some water and so popped into the Inn and ended up staying for a pint. Sitting down on the comfy sofa was nearly the end for me as all I wanted to do was lie down and sleep.
Dragging myself away with my water for the night I only had to ride 5 minutes down the road until I'd found a nice spot to camp.
It's been a strange day and not one that I've particularly enjoyed but tomorrow is another day.

It is good to have my youngest home. Her main focus seems to be ridding the attic of her years of 'stuff'. Her highschool things, college, graduate school, I wish that it didn't matter, but she is her own person. A hallmark of our family, I suppose.
She has many people to catch up with so yesterday, while she was out, I drove Tim up on the hill to pick up his truck. It is a new to him truck, and when he took it to be inspected, he was given a list of things to be repaired. He ticked those things off. The last repair was one that required a special tool, so he bought the part and had it installed at the shop. Then it needed to be aligned, and then it was ready to be inspected. There was a last minute snafu when his windshield got broken by something as he was driving down the road. $471 for that, alone.
But now it is picked up and done, and for $4000 all in, he has a very fine truck.
Since I was out in that direction, I headed for the Amish store. They had a two for one deal going on coffee. 28 oz bags were $6.99 for two. 12 oz bags, $3.99 for two. It is a good time to stock up and the vacuum sealed bags toss easily into the freezer for later use. I've got enough coffee to see me through the winter. They also had the Pepperidge Farm bread whole grain 16 seed bread we like at $1 a loaf, which is also great to toss in the freezer up on, being double sealed.
Checking out, I saw something I have never seen before: the Amish girl at the register was heavily made up, with an expertly done 'smokey eye'. Her blush accented her high cheek bones. She looked very nice, but it was an unexpected sight.
I drove home sipping on carrot ginger juice and noticing how quickly the season is changing. Last night Cara brought pizza in for everyone, and later we went to the basketball court across the river to shoot hoops with William. | <urn:uuid:b377b858-e6e9-4ae3-ac68-582c58e5495d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://lifesfunnylikethat.blogspot.com/2023/09/low-key.html | 2024-04-20T17:23:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.993936 | 444 |
Construction on the Treated Effluent Re-use (TER) Scottsdene Pump Station, under the City of Cape Town’s Water and Sanitation Directorate, has begun. The pump station aims to expand the accessibility of treated effluent, which is a viable alternative water source for non-potable purposes and can significantly reduce the demand on drinking water supply.
Situated at Scottsdene Wastewater Treatment Works (WWTW), this pump station and filtration facility project was initiated in September 2023. The first phase of work is scheduled for completion by February 2025. When completed, the pump station will be capable of supplying six megalitres per day (million litres per day) of treated effluent to the Scottsdene treated effluent network, extending about 3.6km currently, with a planned extension to 14km starting in July 2024.
Treated effluent undergoes a thorough treatment process at WWTWs to eliminate contaminants, rendering it suitable for safe discharge back into the environment. A portion of this treated effluent undergoes filtration before being distributed to customers for re-use.
The City produces treated effluent from nine WWTWs through a network of treated effluent pipes, 31 draw-off points, and nine collection points across the city. This resource serves various industries, including construction and irrigation for sports grounds, parks, schools, and golf courses.
Another similar project in its final phase of expansion is the TER Zandvliet Link, connecting effluent networks from Zandvliet and Macassar WWTWs through a 400mm diameter High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipeline and associated infrastructure. This 5.3km pipeline integrates the two networks, enabling pumping from a single source into both systems.
“We are striving to become a water sensitive city where we need to preserve our valuable water resources, become water wise and explore the use of treated effluent as a viable alternative. To facilitate this, the City is constantly expanding its treated effluent network to provide access for more customers. Currently, our the network spans over 249km and as more investments are made, this will increase considerably in the future,” said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Water and Sanitation, Councillor Zahid Badroodien.

I am trying to learn Sanskrit alphabets, and want to see how I can pronounce the consonants. Then I noticed that when pronouncing the consonants, which are voiced and unvoiced, my vocal chords are vibrating for both the sounds and I am not able to distinguish between them.
Here are the consonants in question:
I am unable to distinguish between any consonant sounds, which are voiced vs unvoiced. My vocal chords are vibrating for sounds or not vibrating at all, when I am pronouncing them.
Please tell me whether I am pronouncing wrongly or if I need to do in different manner.

It was great to see so many of you a week or so ago at Wuthering Bytes
and OSHCamp in Hebden Bridge. It was a sell-out and there were
definitely more chairs in the hall compared to 2019. All the thanks and
credit must go to Andrew Back who organised another wonderful weekend
with a great lineup of speakers and workshoppes.
Several of you approached me over that weekend or have been in touch
since to say that you really enjoyed the sense of community and to ask
about the old meetups in London. It was clear that many people were out
of contact with OSHUG and that communications have been sparse. This is
my fault so I apologise.
Some of you will know that we used to co-organize meetups once a month
in London with the BCS Open Source Specialist Group. The turnout was
generally good and when lockdown happened in early March 2020 the
meetings went online. For the first year things were well attended,
seeing audience numbers more than double from the in-person meetups with
attendees all over the country and speakers from Europe and occasionally
the US or other places in the world. However, very few of these were
advertised to the OSHUG membership base because announcements only went
out when there was a very strong hardware focus. Moreover, although the
attendance was incredibly high, the sense of community, especially the
serendipitous interaction and networking, was completely absent.
Over the recent weekend, and since, people have spoken and it seems that
there might be a renewed opportunity to do something about this. If you
were one of those people, or have the same sentiments, I'd like to
invite you to reply to this message on the mailing list so that we can
get the discussion out into the open.
I'm in London so can help organise something here, including finding a
venue, perhaps again at the BCS or maybe somewhere else. If anyone
anywhere else in the country would like to do something similar then
please also speak up.
It was great to see so many people in Hebden Bridge and hopefully see a
few of you again soon!
Please reply to this message with your thoughts about a renewed set of
meetups as well as where in the country you'd like to see them. | <urn:uuid:cdc97294-c460-46c1-865a-6c93f3622eed> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://lists.oshug.org/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/2023/12/ | 2024-04-20T18:25:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.985706 | 494 |

Rats and mice both constantly chew and gnaw on things, creating debris, damage and potentially even starting an electrical fire. These rodents are also full of disease and can easily cause harm to humans in the area. Rodents feed off almost anything, have highly developed senses of taste and smell and multiply quickly. Mice and rats can produce over 400 offspring per year. Rodents also leave their droppings and urine in a home as well as greasy smear marks when they brush up against objects.
If you heard noises in your roof or home, it must be determined that the sounds are coming from a rodent rather than a possum. Possums are protected creatures and their treatment varies significantly from rats and mice. This distinction can, of course, be made visually but can also be determined through droppings and grease marks.
When a rodent has been discovered, management and removal involves a process of baiting, trapping, blocking holes and entry points and improving sanitation and hygiene. If you suspect a rodent may be present in your home talk to a representative at Livermore Pest Control today. | <urn:uuid:b35dc161-caf6-49b6-88fa-140e016661b4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://livermorepestcontrol.com.au/rodents/ | 2024-04-20T15:48:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.968915 | 220 |

A while back I came across the wesite of the Slanket, an ingenious combination of a blanket with sleeves – perfect for keeping warm while lounging about, yet still keeping your arms free for reading or changing channels. I loved the idea so very, very much, but was unwilling to shell out the money for one. So, I decided to try to make my own out of cheap Wal-Mart throws. Turns out, I would really recommend buying one from the website, since the one I made looks like a blind person did it. The seams are all crooked and inside-out, and there are a bunch of tiny threads all over the material from when I had to rip a whole seam out, and the the little throws I bought to make them didn’t have enough fabric for the project. Ah, as the old saying goes, “God is in the details…. and Lauren’s making crap again.”

If someone told you that personal loans are installment loans, but installment loans aren’t always personal loans, would you understand? The world of finance, and the terminology used within it can be confusing. But to stand the best chance of financial success, it’s critical to understand the differences. Knowing what loan type is right for your situation could save you in the long run.
What Are Installment Loans?
As mentioned above, a personal loan is an installment loan, but an installment loan isn’t necessarily a personal loan. Installment loans are any type of loan with a set number of payments to repay it. Because of that broad definition, you can think of installment loans like an umbrella. That umbrella covers mortgages, car loans, and personal loans; but each loan type varies in the specifics. These loans are almost always paid back through equal payments across a weekly, biweekly, or monthly payment schedule. Beyond that, the loan can vary drastically based on the personal information and credit history of the individual applying.
Personal Loans vs. Installment Loans
Which One to Choose
Personal loans and installment loans can both be used for a wide variety of purposes. From debt consolidation or medical emergencies, to vacations, and everything in between. For standard financial needs either type of loan will suffice. Where the two vary is when it comes to bigger, more specific needs like purchasing a car or a home. Auto loans and mortgages are considered installment loans, but are not personal loans. And should be used accordingly.
While the flexibility of a personal loan would allow you to use your funds towards your car or home purchase, it will likely cost you more to do so. Mortgages and car loans are standalone items for a reason; they are financing solutions tailored specifically to one purpose. Taking out a personal loan to pay for your house or car will almost never result in the best case scenario. Stick to the proper lending avenues for these items and get installment loans through a mortgage broker or auto lender. If down the line you need to do work on your home or car, then look to a personal loan for funding support.
How to Pay Them Back
A loan from either category is almost always paid back through equal monthly or bi-weekly payments. These will be set up with the lender you work with, but can be anticipated to follow a regular payment schedule. The specifics of repayment will vary depending on a number of factors. Your personal financial standing will influence what interest rate the lender offers you as well as how long you have to pay it back.
Secured vs. Unsecured
Personal loans and installment loans often differ in regards to secured vs. unsecured. Personal loans are more often than not unsecured, meaning they don’t require collateral to be placed against the loan. Taking an unsecured loan can therefore result in higher interest rates as there is more risk for the lender. While many installment loans are secured as they usually finance larger purchases, like a home and require collateral.
Should I Take an Installment Loan?
When considering any type of loan, it’s good to ask yourself a few questions before making your decision.
- Do I need this loan, at this time?
- Can I afford the repayment terms of this loan without financial stress?
- What are the repercussions if I cannot pay back this loan?
- Is this the best type of loan for what I’m using the funds for?
Choosing to take an installment loan shouldn’t be different than choosing to take out any sort of financial support. If you answer the questions above and don’t feel confident about the decision, you may want to reconsider if a loan is the right choice. Number four is also crucial to ensure you are taking the best loan type for its intended use. When beginning your loan search and applications, be as specific as possible with all details. This should help you find the best results available to you.
Above all, just be sure to do your research about the loan. Understand all costs and details of the lender and their specific loan process before signing anything. A loan search engine like LoanConnect is a great place to start as you will get results from multiple lenders through one application. Apply for free to get results from multiple lenders across Canada and compare your rates before choosing to proceed. Never rush a decision that can carry so much weight to your financial future. | <urn:uuid:3a84864a-f4db-4ada-8aa0-b5254bf13b2f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://loanconnect.ca/blog/installment-loans/ | 2024-04-20T17:27:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.959347 | 901 |

Two men were arrested in a string of crimes at nearly 20 Long Island businesses.
The robberies happened across eight different villages or hamlets across Nassau County and took place over an almost four-month span.
Police say two of the burglaries took place in New Hyde Park, two in Oceanside, five in Hicksville, two in Williston Park, five in Lynbrook, one in Plainview and one in Mineola.
Police say they arrested the two men during their latest burglary, which happened Thursday in Merrick.
The suspects, 50-year-old Diego Ercoli and 60-year-old Hector Portilla, faced a Nassau County judge Friday for their arraignments.
Emma, one of the employees whose store was robbed in Lynbrook, says she knew something was wrong when she walked in and saw the register paper on the floor.
“First, I think, ‘Oh, maybe my assistant came here to do that,’” Emma says. “Then I go around the register and everything was on the floor and the register was broke.”
Emma says the suspected burglars took everything from the register and also money from a wallet that was left in the business
She says it was the first time the business has ever been robbed, even though she once left the back door open by accident.
Police told her the suspects broke in through the back door. They believe the suspects took over $300 from Emma’s business.
News 12 was the first to tell Emma of the accused robbers’ arrests.
“I feel really good about it,” Emma says. “They do bad, so they deserve it.”
Portilla surrendered his passport, and the judge set an electronic monitor for bail. He is due back in court on Aug. 18.
A judge set Ercoli's bail at $250,000 cash, $500,000 bond or $2 million in partially secured bond. He is due back in court on Aug. 8.
Police say many of the burglarized businesses were in the same strip mall or building. | <urn:uuid:3744e216-57ac-4674-ae7f-5590f0c561c8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://longisland.news12.com/police-2-men-arrested-in-string-of-crimes-at-nearly-20-nassau-businesses | 2024-04-20T16:23:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.988454 | 443 |

Red Street Records' artist Cade Thompson drops his latest single, 'Arms Of Jesus'. Available on all DSPs now.
Thompson, who wrote the song with A.J. Pruis (Matthew West) and Matt Armstrong (Chris Tomlin), shares, "It's more important than ever to run into the arms of Jesus. People, including myself, are facing times in their lives where they need healing or they're walking through pain or tragedy. I believe as humans we have the choice to run to the ways of this world or run and fall into the arms of Jesus and in His arms, we can find the healing, the hope, and the strength that we need."
With a desire to create music that reaches people of all ages, Cade Thompson strives to bridge the gap for people to bring their struggles to Jesus, that it is in His arms alone that peace can be found.
He will be sharing "Arms Of Jesus," along with previous releases from his 2021 album, Bigger Story, and more on tour this summer. Along with hitting numerous festivals, plans are underway for a fall tour.
Also, be sure to check out his most recent interview with the Jesus Calling Podcast where they discuss the nation's mourning of yet another school shooting. Thompson shares his own similar experience with the podcast and how it inspired him to write a song ("New Normal" from his 2021 album Bigger Story) to encourage others who are dealing with the fear, anxiety, and pain that these dramatic events can cause in their lives.
With a growing following on social media, this is just the beginning of what's to come from Cade Thompson. | <urn:uuid:31e51afe-8c96-4a4c-aa77-328cc1318140> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://louderthanthemusic.com/document.php?id=12430 | 2024-04-20T17:28:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.969135 | 337 |
Updates For Pinterest Users
Are you using Pinterest for your marketing?
If not, you may want to check it out. It is a great medium for visual marketing and it can help generate traffic as well as link juice for your business.
If you are already a Pinterest user then here are a few recent updates that you will want to know about.
Pinterest Verified Account
Pinterest now allows you to have verified ownership of your account. It links your Pinterest account with your top level domain (your website) as shown in the diagram below.
With that you now have your full web address on your Pinterest “Profile Page” – with a clickable link to your website. A very useful way for others to find out more about you and your services.
This is great. Besides allowing others to check you out online it provides a direct and live link to your website. This is way better than just having them link to your Facebook or Twitter accounts. Talk about for cross promotion!
How To Verify Your Pinterest Account?
Pinterest provides very detailed instructions on how you can do that so I won’t repeat it here. You can refer to resources here.
When your account is successfully verified, a red check mark will appear right next to your web address (as shown above).
If you don’t see this on your profile account yet, don’t worry. It is being rolled out in stages.
Reporting On Pinterest
If you find inappropriate pins or if you feel uncomfortable with some users, you can report either the pins or the person to Pinterest.
To do that you will need to go to the person’s profile page. To the right of the photo you will now see a little flag.
When you hover over the flag you will see options for reporting as well as blocking.
As you can see from the diagram here, there are different reasons why you may want to report this to Pinterest.
Obviously, any comments or images that are “deemed to be hateful, violent, harmful, abusive, racially or ethnically offensive, defamatory, etc.” are not to be encouraged. Pictures relating to “harm, death, disability or disfigurement to yourself, other people or animals are also prohibited”.
Blocking On Pinterest
There is also an option to block out people at the bottom section. Blocking a person will disable the person from re-pinning, liking or commenting on your pins.
However, the person will not be notified that you have blocked him – until he realizes that he cannot seem to respond to your pins.
Pinterest is fast gaining momentum as a social media platform. Use it wisely and within its terms and let it be another marketing channel working for you. Be respectful and observe online etiquette. Seeking short term gain while spamming will only put your account at risk.
If you like to have more tips on using Pinterest, here’s a guide that explains what Pinterest is and how you can make use of it.

You can cheat on someone without laying a finger on someone else. Cheating is all about intent, which is why emotional cheating is often more devastating than a physical affair. Personally, I think I'd be more forgiving of a sexual encounter because that's just sex and sex doesn't always mean anything more than an orgasm. Getting all tangled up with someone emotionally is altogether different. Distancing yourself is altogether different, too. All the little ways people cheat without having sex still add up and easily result in the demise of the relationship.

Don't say you're just trying to see what's out there because … well, why? If you're that curious about what you're missing, you maybe shouldn't be in a relationship in the first place.
And Using Them
This is even worse, though. It may never come to anything, but if you use an app to hook up with other people, you have the intent to cheat.
Creating Alternate Personas Online
Ditto, plus it's catfishing and catfishing is never cool.
Taking Flirtation Too Far with a Friend
People flirt. That's not a big deal. Flirting can go too far, though, and you know when it's reached that point.
Flirting with a friend might seem harmless, but when it crosses a line, it can jeopardize your friendship and your existing relationship. It starts off innocently enough: a playful banter here, a lingering gaze there. But when you're saving your most charming quips for them, or feeling that electric charge during incidental touches, you're treading into dangerous territory. Shared secrets and inside jokes morph into private texting sessions that you hide from your partner. The excitement of this subtle, emotional foray can often be as powerful and damaging as a physical affair.
Comparing Your Partner to Someone You're Interested in
It's never fair to compare your partner to anyone. Comparing her/him to someone else you have feelings for, however, that's just wrong.
Thinking about Someone else during Sex with Your Partner
I don't mean thinking about a celebrity or someone you simply fantasize about, obviously. If you're physically imagining someone you've wanted to be with, though, that's like cheating by proxy.
Carrying on a Virtual Relationship
Long-term texting relationships are increasingly common. You may never do anything physical and you may do it under the guise of friendship or flirtation, but it can cross a line into more serious territory.
When you start sharing secrets, dreams, and fears over the screen, your heart gets intertwined. The messages might be innocent at first—a joke, a meme, an update—and then they evolve into late-night deep dives into your psyche. Before you know it, you're waiting for their notification like it's the highlight of your day. That connection becomes a sanctuary, potentially more intimate than a physical one. There lies the heartbreak—you're emotionally entangled with someone who may remain just pixels on a screen.
Withholding Sex Because You're Thinking of Someone else
For instance, if you have a crush on someone other than your partner and refuse to sleep with your partner because you feel like you'd be cheating on your crush, that's … well, kind of cheating, isn't it?
Sending risque photos, that is. Sharing nude photos with anyone other than your partner is just … no.
Confiding Solely in Someone else
It's okay to have a friend who's more like your soul mate than your partner. However, when you completely stop confiding in your partner and share your feelings solely with someone else, that's pretty serious.
When emotional intimacy shifts exclusively to a friend, your bond with your significant other can become compromised. This emotional reliance can sneakily lay the groundwork for a deeper betrayal, even if it's unintentional. Heart-to-heart conversations are pivotal for maintaining closeness in romantic relationships. By outsourcing your emotional needs, it's like forming an invisible wedge between you and your partner. True, it's vital to have a supportive network, but not at the cost of eroding the trust and connection in your romantic life.
Telling Someone They Understand You More than Your Partner
First of all, is that true? Because that's not great. Second of all, this is another case where you're comparing your partner to someone else and putting all your feelings outside of your relationship.
Pretending That You're Single
You only say this if you wish you were single. There's no other reason.
Making Plans to Leave without a Word
This means you're not communicating at all, and once you stop communicating, things are all but done.
Exchanging “I Love Yous” with Someone else
For obvious reasons.
Lying More Often than You Tell the Truth
Even if you're not interested in someone specific, once you get to this stage, your heart and your mind are somewhere else.
When you start pulling away from your relationship, in whatever way, you've already made a decision that you don't want to be in it anymore. Some people – can some couples – can come back from this, but not all of them. Have you done any of these things? Would it bother you if your partner did? | <urn:uuid:1cf4fdb7-36fa-4df5-b2e1-2ad7c891580a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://love.allwomenstalk.com/little-ways-people-cheat-without-having-sex/ | 2024-04-20T16:19:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817670.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20240420153103-20240420183103-00168.warc.gz | en | 0.958609 | 1,146 |

Our advice is based on our extensive experience in the mortgage industry and we are dedicated to helping you achieve your goal of home ownership.
The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is a government-mandated calculation that provides a theoretical retrospective view of the total payments a home buyer would incur over the entire term of their mortgage. It encompasses various elements such as mortgage interest, closing costs, insurance premiums, and other loan-related expenses.
The primary purpose of the APR calculation is to assist home buyers in comparing multiple mortgage options.
For instance, when a first-time home buyer is evaluating potential 30-year fixed-rate FHA mortgages and holds Loan Estimates from different lenders, selecting the mortgage with the lower APR typically represents the more favorable mortgage offer.
Nevertheless, there are specific situations in which relying solely on the APR may not be advisable. These situations include when the home buyer intends to sell the property, pay off the mortgage, or refinance it within the initial term of the loan, when considering an adjustable-rate mortgage, or when the mortgage requires private mortgage insurance.
In each of these scenarios, the retrospective nature of the APR calculation becomes speculative, rendering it an unreliable tool for making accurate mortgage comparisons.
How does APR distinguish itself from the mortgage interest rate?
The mortgage interest rate represents the cost of borrowing the principal amount. Conversely, the APR encompasses not only the mortgage interest rate but also any additional mortgage fees and loan costs. This comprehensive view of a mortgage's cost provides a more accurate assessment of its true financial implications.
Is it possible for the APR to change after I've secured a mortgage?
For fixed-rate mortgages, the Annual Percentage Rate remains consistent unless there is a requirement for mortgage insurance, in which case the amount can fluctuate based on the remaining principal and equity percentage. In contrast, with adjustable-rate mortgages, the APR changes whenever the loan's interest rate undergoes adjustments.
Does a mortgage with a lower APR always signify a superior option?
A lower APR occasionally suggests better loan terms. However, it's important to consider specific circumstances. For instance, a mortgage with multiple discount points may feature a low APR but come with exceedingly high closing costs. This may not align with your individual needs or budget.
Which types of fees are typically incorporated into the APR?
The mortgage APR calculation encompasses all fees associated with the mortgage, including loan origination fees, mortgage discount points, mortgage insurance premiums, and various mortgage-related closing costs. It's worth noting that the APR does not cover attorney's and title fees, or other expenses that would still apply if the buyer were to pay for the home in cash.

I'm really enjoying adding buttons to my ribbon accents, it's a fun switch from the usual knot or bow. I love how simple this card is but at the same time it's loaded with lots of texture and interest. The torn cardstock strip adds a bit of texture, I just tore it by hand and curled the ends up a bit. It was super easy! The ribbon and the buttons all have their own great texture and shine to them. Extending the tree top and sentiment over the edges adds a touch of interest, as does the stamped text background. Oh, and of course the rounded corners (gotta love that corner rounder... lol).
So what are some of your favorite ways to add texture and interest to your creations?
I hope this was a nice change from all those In Bloom cards. :) Glad you stopped in for a visit, now you all have a wonderful day!
