Girish Chandra Murmu, the Comptroller & Auditor General of India, stated during a panel discussion at the UN headquarters in New York that data integrity is crucial for a fair audit assessment of any national climate action plan. In the absence of data integrity, there may be biases in climate data and misguided policy decisions.
A statement released by the CAG’s office on Wednesday mentioned the two-day ClimateScanner Global Call: Engaging Supreme Audit Institutions in Assessing National Climate Action, Accounts – Brazil (TCU) event on March 25 and 26.
Aiming to create a comprehensive audit tool for evaluating government efforts to mitigate climate change, the Supreme Audit Institution of Brazil is spearheading the ClimateScanner initiative.
Murmu said that the Supreme Audit Institutions face several obstacles while assessing national climate action, including data gaps, incomplete records and a limited number of climate stations.
The lack of standardised methodologies and reporting frameworks and different countries deploying different approaches to measure emissions make the task of comparing and aggregating data globally challenging.
This requires sustained efforts at capacity building and hand-holding amongst SAI members, he added.
At the session, Murmu shared India’s climate action journey beginning with the setting up of the National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) in 2008.
He said India has achieved success in eight national missions, including declining greenhouse gas emissions since 2005 and meeting 42 per cent cumulative installed capacity from non-fossil fuel sources against a target of 50 per cent by 2030.”
He urged SAI members to undertake collaborative action. “By developing recommendations from insights gleaned from audits of climate change initiatives, we can pave the way for SAIs to become pivotal players in the fight against climate change,” he said.
At a separate event, the CAG of India formally handed over the 2024 Chairmanship of SAI 20 Engagement Group to the President of the Federal Court of Accounts-Brazil, Minister Bruno Dantas. | <urn:uuid:87d21619-b3cd-451b-a465-97dcddb4716b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://newskarnataka.com/india/delhi/un-meet/27032024 | 2024-04-21T21:11:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.914907 | 411 |
Los Angeles is the undisputed leader in terms of live music venues. Our past is rich, ranging from the folkloric ramblings of Woody Guthrie to the raunchy rock ‘n’ roll of groups like the Doors, Van Halen, and Motley Crue. And to this day, the city is still one of the greatest for incredible concerts in Los Angeles and astoundingly free concerts—in large part because of its variety of venues, which range from stunning outdoor amphitheaters to dive bars and hole-in-the-wall clubs. There is a constant flow of remarkable local talent, and no well-known performer finishes a tour without visiting Los Angeles. In terms of live music, Los Angeles has it all, and we’re lucky—see for yourself below.
1. Jazz at LACMA
Jazz at LACMA has been one of the top free live music events in Los Angeles for three decades, showcasing genuine legends. The much-loved show is back for the season, as well as the open seating and picnicking arrangement (whereas last year you needed a reservation). The series is held on Friday evenings in the LACMA welcome plaza (just behind Urban Light).
2. The Original Farmers Market’s Summer Music
There are many enjoyable, family-friendly outdoor events held at The Original Farmers Market, but its summer music series is among its best. Take a break at the end of the week and visit the West Patio to listen to live music on Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m. for a variety of genres or on Fridays from 7 to 9 p.m. for a lineup of tribute bands presented by E.B.’s Beer & Wine.
3. The Walt Disney Concert Hall
From the exterior, this stunning 3.6 acre performance venue appears to be a piece of art in and of itself. Frank Gehry created it, and it debuted in 2003. The LA Philharmonic Orchestra, whose music and artistic director is the very entertaining Gustavo Dudamel, performs in the Walt Disney Concert Hall. One of the sweetest and most modest guys you will ever meet, Dudamel is also a very gifted conductor. It is without a doubt one of the most famous locations to attend a concert of Classical, Jazz, or World Music because of the superb acoustics in the main auditorium and the unmatched beauty of this location. They also provide free tours if you’d prefer a more relaxed yet close-up look at the building.
4. The Getty Center
In your neighborhood is the largest philanthropic and cultural institution in the world for the visual arts! It recently celebrated its 20th year since being constructed in 1997. The Santa Monica Mountains are home to buildings that are more than a million square feet. If you enjoy the arts, the Getty Center is among the top things to do in Los Angeles. It is more than just a museum. They showcase a variety of performances, such as live music and theater. You can also watch movies and listen to lectures that provide an entirely immersive experience with a variety of artistic mediums. From young to elderly, this place may bring out the creative in you.
5. Hollywood Bowl
Since the LA Philharmonic performed here for the first time in 1922, concerts have been held at this stunning outdoor amphitheater. The 18,000-seat theater, which is tucked away in an aesthetically pleasing fold of the Hollywood Hills, has the power to make even the most pessimistic person feel romantic. Although it is the LA Phil’s summer home, everyone from the Beatles to Big Bird has performed there. The best performers from all genres, including rock, pop, country, and musical theater, perform at the Bowl over the summer.
Be a part of soul warming concerts and live music in Los Angeles coming weekend! | <urn:uuid:ee18bf19-446b-49ae-87b2-2015b295586d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://newsnblogs.com/5-exciting-places-for-attending-live-concerts-in-los-angeles/ | 2024-04-21T21:41:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.951305 | 794 |

A jury in the United States has mandated chemical company Monsanto, now under the ownership of German pharmaceutical firm Bayer, to remunerate $857 million to seven individuals at a Washington state school.
These individuals claimed adverse health effects resulting from chemicals emanating from light fixtures, specifically polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). This verdict compounds Monsanto’s existing legal challenges, particularly in the aftermath of court losses related to its glyphosate-based weedkiller, Roundup.
The jury’s decision encompasses a compensation sum of $73 million and an additional $784 million in punitive damages allocated to the plaintiffs. Attorney Felix Luna asserted that Monsanto engaged in prolonged subterfuge to conceal the detrimental impacts of PCBs, emphasizing their enduring nature and neurotoxic properties. Monsanto, planning to contest the ruling, contends that objective evidence refutes claims of unsafe PCB exposure levels.
PCBs, originally employed as coolants and lubricants, carry health risks, prompting concerns about the safety of outdated fixtures at the school. This ruling amplifies Monsanto’s legal entanglements within the broader context of controversies surrounding its product portfolio.
The company’s intention to appeal underscores its commitment to challenging the verdict. This development further underscores the intricate legal landscape Monsanto faces, compounded by ongoing disputes related to Roundup and the broader implications of its acquisition by Bayer. | <urn:uuid:d28063d0-5648-4ceb-9e34-e2986d89c087> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://newyorkparrot.com/index.php/2023/12/19/us-jury-orders-monsanto-to-pay-857m-over-chemicals-in-school/ | 2024-04-21T20:57:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.915075 | 272 |
As spring break kicks off and travelers gear up for their anticipated getaways, Southwest Airlines finds itself contending with a significant uptick in delays and cancellations. The airline, like its counterparts, grapples with the adverse effects of thunderstorms sweeping through the Southeastern region, impeding smooth operations and prompting disruptions across its flight network.
In a statement provided to Spectrum News, Southwest Airlines acknowledged the challenges posed by inclement weather conditions, particularly thunderstorms affecting the Southeast. The airline attributed the disruptions, affecting approximately 160 flights on the reported day, to Air Traffic Control (ATC) constraints in the vicinity of Florida. Southwest Airlines reassured passengers of its commitment to swiftly and safely reroute them to their intended destinations while expressing gratitude for their patience amidst the inconvenience.
Flight tracking data from FlightAware underscores the magnitude of the disruptions faced by Southwest Airlines, with a quarter of its flights experiencing delays and a notable 7% cancellation rate. These figures underscore the breadth of the challenges confronting the airline industry amid heightened travel demand during the spring break season.
Passengers seeking real-time updates on flight statuses and potential delays are encouraged to visit Southwest Airlines’ dedicated website for the latest information. As the airline navigates the complexities of weather-related disruptions and ATC constraints, proactive communication and transparency remain pivotal in mitigating the impact on travelers’ plans and enhancing overall customer experience.
As Southwest Airlines and other carriers continue to navigate the intricate landscape of spring break travel amidst weather-related challenges, stakeholders remain vigilant in their efforts to minimize disruptions and uphold operational resilience. The evolving situation underscores the importance of flexibility and preparedness for both airlines and passengers alike, as they navigate the uncertainties inherent in air travel during peak seasons. | <urn:uuid:2eea5770-cc4d-4043-b53d-da5d0134cc1d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://newyorkparrot.com/index.php/2024/03/10/southwest-airlines-faces-surge-of-delays-as-spring-break-travel-begins/ | 2024-04-21T21:43:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.924546 | 345 |

13:27 My 3 Hot Business Tips Of The Week (Mindset, Marketing & Money)
18:08 What's worked, what hasn't & what am I doing differently?
In this interesting post @NicolaCairnX shares her real life lessons learned over 25+ years as an entrepreneur (and creates a ChatGPT App!)
Hello everyone, it's Nicola and I'm back here to talk more about life lessons because I got a great response from last week and lots of interesting comments in my email inbox. So I just wanted to go into it in a bit more detail because I think, although the newsletter covered it in more detail than the video, it was quite fleeting, mainly because I'll just get my head around the new format.
So today I've just made a mind map of the kind of things that I've been thinking about over the last week with regards to life lessons and how they can help you in business particularly, and how they can help you grow as an entrepreneur and become a better entrepreneur, as the name of my next book is going to be. I want to just sort of run through a few external life lessons before we get to the business ones, just to sort of get you warmed up, as it were, and also to get me warmed up a bit, and so I was thinking about what kind of life lessons we learn from our families. Now, if you followed following along from last week, I was exploring the idea of reincarnation, and there's someone called Cliff High who's got quite a lot to say on this subject, and I was a confirmed atheist for my whole life and then I gradually came around in the last three years to the idea that there is actually good and evil in the world. And if there is good and evil in the world, then there must be some sort of purpose or some sort of plan. And I don't know who makes plan and I'm open to everything. I'm open to everything right now, if you accept the fact that we all come back at time and time again and we learn lessons in each life.
So, yes, if you accept that we go through lives, different lives being reincarnated, and each time we do we learn some lessons in that life, and then those lessons, the lessons, get condensed into a sort of layer of well, cliff calls it an iridescent, sparkly, shiny cover on our soul. So each, each life lesson turns into another cover, and another cover and another cover. And I love that idea because it sort of brings up the idea of something beautiful and precious and shiny and pearly and iridescent and ever changing and growing. And I like all of those ideas, as I think you have to do that to become an entrepreneur and in fact, you know, unless you're born into it or you have a great mentor straight off, then you have to learn those business lessons for yourself, entrepreneur lessons for yourself. So if we think that we choose our parents and we choose to go down into that family and they choose us, there must be a reason for it, there must be a lesson for it. So I wonder what the lesson is for me in the family I grew up in and I'm not going to go into that too much because I do go into it in my book and also talk about it on other videos but if you think about your family as your first tribe, then perhaps that's what a family is for is to teach you that there are people around you hopefully you've got your back and who act as your tribe. But then eventually you outgrow that tribe and you have to go and look for another one. Which brings me on to your friends.
I've lost several friends over my life and sometimes I haven't known why, and sometimes I've known exactly why. It's been something I've done or said, or sometimes you just don't realize what happens. But I do think you have friends for a reason and friends for a season. So sometimes the best friends of all you know I've got a friend who I've been friends with since I was 15 years old and because we didn't have the same views over what was going on during the pandemic, as it was called. We don't speak to each other now, which is, I feel, something I feel personally very sad about. And I've got another friend that I lost a while ago and I never really understood what happened with that.
So you can carry on feeling sad about these things, or you can look for the lesson and I think that's what I'm trying to get to with this video is how, if you can look on everything in life as teaching you a lesson, everything becomes a lot more bearable. So if I was gonna think about what lesson my latest friendship loss is all about, it's about me standing up for my principles and it's about the fact that my I believe my friend went along to get along. I just feel very disappointed in her for that, and I don't know what would happen if she popped up and said let's be friends again. I just don't know, because I've got to stand by my principles because, at the end of the day, they're all you've got really, aren't they? So, coming back to the fact that your friends are for a season, perhaps friends come into your life for a reason to teach you a lesson, and perhaps that's what's happened with my friends, and then they move on again.
But I've accumulated some amazing friends, mainly through business relationships, and that's really interesting because they've turned into friendships lifelong friendships, I hope, and in fact it's one of my friends who talks to me a lot about the whole reincarnation and soul growing and lessons we're learning from things. And it's nice to have a business relationship with someone who is not my partner, who's not my family, who's not my friend or who wasn't my friend until he became so, and we can have really nice objective discussions about things without there being any family dynamics going on or any partnership dynamics going on, and I really really appreciate that. But who'd have thought that you'd become friends with business colleagues? Who'd have thought that you could become friends with business colleagues to the level that you can? It's just astonishing because random meetings you just meet these people randomly. I find that quite amazing really.
And then there are partner lessons. There are the people you choose to love, for all the people you fall in love with depends on whether you think that, whether you've got a list and you go out looking for the person to fulfill your list, as I've heard some of my friends talk about, or whether you just let it wait and let it happen to you and some sort of weird chemical reaction comes over you. That's how it happens with me, anyway, and I can remember the time exactly when I fell in love with each of my long-term partners, which is quite funny. So, yes, they're there to teach you a lesson too, and we won't go into the lessons I've learned from my life partners, but the one thing I have learned from all of them actually is that I do believe there is a specific kind of male and female energy, and I think that I've got a very male energy, but I look for a male who's more alpha than I am, because I don't in a relationship. I don't want to be the alpha partner, I want to be a more feminine energy, which is really very interesting, and I never thought I'd hear myself say these things be your lifelong died and the more feminist as I was for years. But again, the last three years has changed a lot of people about a lot of things. So that's one of the things I've learned about relationships is the male, female alpha. Whatever dynamic has got to be right or the relationship just simply won't work.
I've learned a few global lessons in the last three years as well, one of which is governments lie. They have not got our best interests at heart. And the other thing I've learned from several of my business associates is when I get all upset about what's going on in the world and I talk to them about it, they tell me things like you can't save everybody and by feeling bad about the stuff you can't do anything about, you're just disempowering yourself and taking away all your energy from making things better that you do have control over. So I've learned a little bit how to compartmentalize that, and a lot of the times the things I get upset about that I see online are things that turn out to be absolute fabrications, their propaganda, their lies, and so I have learned to restrict the amount of energy I give to something until I find out whether it's actually true what I'm reading about. I won't give you any examples, but I'm sure you can all think of some, especially in the last three years. Everybody gets all uptight about it and then we find out it's a complete fabrication and nobody's got any confirmation of it. It's a deliberate attempt to stir people up and make negative emotions swirl around the globe, and they're not having any more of mine, that's for sure.
And the final thing I've learned well, there's so many global lessons, isn't there? But one of the things I wanted to just touch on is that something I'll be doing differently is one of the lessons I've learned is that I'm going to absolutely hang on as long as I can before I replace that and this, because lithium batteries are just becoming more and more and more of a boogeyman, not least because there are millions of children in various places who are digging out the lithium by hand and living horrible, horrible lives. So much as I love my laptop and my phone, I'm not going to be looking to upgrade it as quickly as I would have done otherwise and revel in the enjoyment of a new gadget, because I know now what goes into it. Anyway, that's all the warm-up stuff covered, so let's talk about some business lessons. I mean, I've learned so many business lessons over the years, but one of the things I wanted to just touch on today is that the difference between a freelancer and a business is the most profound difference of all, and I think so many people don't understand that yet, and it took me an awful long time to get it. I thought being a successful business meant being a successful freelancer, and actually it doesn't at all.
And the other thing I've learned is that you've got to think about profit first and take profits out of your business. There's a book called Profit First from Michael McCallowits I think it is Michael McCallowits and it's a great book and it really does teach you that you should always be taking some of the profits out of your business while the business is profitable, so that you are in a personally, a better position should the business stop being profitable for any reason and you have to move on or close it down, or you indeed get kicked out by your new board of directors just after you've sold it perhaps. So, yeah, that's one of the things I've learned is to make your business look after you first before it looks after everybody else, and it's funny it took me so long to learn that, because that's one of the things I teach in my book. The Money Gym is you've got to put yourself first, ie save to invest later rather than putting everybody else, like Sainsbury's and the local garage and the local restaurant, and putting all those people first rather than putting you first by saving to invest. One of the other things I've learned is I really enjoy joint ventures. I love finding people who you can work with, who benefits as well as you do, and working out some sort of two-way or three-way deal. If you want to learn more about that, I covered it in one of my recent videos. I can't remember off the top of my head, and I never can, the author of this book, but it's called something along the lines of how to get everything you want from what everything you've already got, and I did cover it in one of my top seven business books. That's right, just a few videos ago. If you go and look for it, it's literally about three or four videos ago you'll find the top seven business books that I think nobody no business owner should live without.
The other business lesson I've learned is find a hungry market. It's no good trying to have to educate people. They want you, and the reason I've been thinking about this quite a lot recently is because I've got several clients who are working so far out on the edges of groundbreaking activities that they somewhat have to educate their clients that they need them and want them, and that makes life a little bit more difficult. I mean, if you've got a passion which is great to work on, then I suppose you're always going to find that, because you're always going to be a few steps ahead of everybody else, aren't you? But a great idea to find a hungry market. If you're not so bothered about what business you go into and you just want to build a business, then I would definitely be looking for a hungry market. And the second most important lesson I've learned about that is find a hungry market who can afford to pay for your solution to their problem, because it's no good finding a hungry market who can't afford to pay for a solution, and I've done that so many times over the years. It's unreal.
One of the life lessons I've learned and that spills over into the business thing is how to value yourself. I've had to learn how to do that because Difficult upbringings and all that not taught my own value very young at all. So I've had to learn that lesson and then get over it. And it really does help in business to value yourself, value your business, value what you're offering and so that you know people can't trample all over you and you can stand firm and Stand for what you believe in and stand up for your product or service and expect people to pay a decent amount for it. And, of course, people without any sense of value and without your sense of worth. They find it very difficult to price themselves to make a profit, and then they find it very difficult to take the profit out of their business to look after their own lifestyle and, basically, if your business can't do that for you, then it isn't a business at all. So do think about that one very deeply after you finish watching this video. Obviously is something I've had to learn and it's been very a difficult, long lesson learned, but Very worth it.
I just want to end on this section on a positive note. I think one of the most uplifting things about thinking about all this is realizing how far you've come, because we're all prone to be thinking, looking forward and thinking ahead and Looking up from the top of the. You know we never look back from the top of the mountain, do we? We never even look back for one of the foothills about how far we've come. We're always looking upwards and onwards and the next, the next thing, the next goal, the next achievement, and I think it's really important sometimes just to take stock. So if you sat down now and wrote down the lessons you've learned in each of those areas for that from this life, then I think that would give you a really good feeling and a bit of a warm fuzzy grow inside. It certainly did me, okay. So what are the three hot resources I've got for you this week? Usually in video format.
I've been neck-deep in Ed Dale recently and he stumbled I stumbled across him again. He was someone who literally got me started on my internet journey because I came across him and Frank Kern talking to rich chef friend about the underachievers method and I really enjoyed that podcast. That was back in must have been about 2003, 2004 and Ed has retired and these come back out of retirement. And he he pioneered something called the 30-day challenge. He had the first 30-day challenge on the internet and it really was excellent and so many people went on to do very well afterwards. So he's back and I gave him the time of day to watch his latest video and I've been binge watching his latest stuff ever since.
And if you go to YouTube and put in discover Kanban, and then it's For entrepreneurs, so discover Kanban for entrepreneurs by Ed Dale. There's a set of nice Five or six videos short videos on how to organize your time and how to make sure you don't miss things and he's specifically talking about for entrepreneurs with a ADD, or ADHD as it's now called, and he has had a diagnosis himself recently and he's found it very useful to know that. When I knew, I knew that since I heard the phrase that I had ADD and ADHD. But I don't see it as a problem. I see it as a blessing and a superpower, because it also enables me to deep dive learn, which there's a special name for it I can't remember is, but it's something that is a very much superpower and it's very much means that I can concentrate when I'm interested. That's the thing.
On the marketing front, I've had an extremely exciting week because I've been mucking about the chat GPT I and so has it, and so when I got to, it's a sub stack and videos about chat GPT and the fact that he's created his own app on chat GPT. It's absolutely astonishing what you can do. Basically, you can create your own app for a very reasonable amount of money. It's $20 a month for chat GPT plus, which you need to create your app and you go and create your app and you can feed into it things like I gave it my book and literally it had gobbled up and absorbed the content of my book in minutes. It was unbelievable. And then it starts acting. Your app starts acting as if it was you and you can give it parameters. You can give it a style that you want to speak in. You can basically turn it into a mini you and then can advise people based on how you would do it, how well questions you would ask a new client, for example, and also it can use your book to advise people about what they could possibly do and gives them suggestions.
So go to nicklecairnextcom, forward slash marketing mentor, and I'll put the link in this video description underneath. So if you're in the newsletter, there'll be a link just here, and if you're watching on YouTube, there'll be a link in the description below to go and try it out, completely free to use it. You only need to sign up for a free chat chat GPT account, which you can do just using your Google account or your Facebook account or whatever and just get playing with it. Have fun and let me know, and you can just email me at Nickle at Klicks and Leeds at any time. And just let me know how you get on with it.
I've spent several days this week honing it and honing its reactions and telling it what to do, and so hopefully you'll get a really good feeling from it of how it would be to work with me using the Attract 3.0 book and the Be Everywhere Online program Bit of fun, and I really enjoyed it. And when it comes to the money, the video I recommend in fact there's three short videos on Odyssey that I recommend to you today. It's called who Runs the World, part one, two and three, and it's Tom Luongo and Crypto Rich talking about who really runs the world and what it really means. And the third video in the series has got lots of June references. So if you like June, as I do, it's got lots of June references and it makes it quite fun to think about who's playing the parts of the House of Treaties, who's playing the parts of House Harkonnen, who's the Benegasaret in this world and who are the Guild Navigators. So go and have a look at that. It will give you a good feel for who's playing which parts and I hope you enjoy them.
Finally, this week we've got the what's worked, what didn't and what am I going to do differently as a result? So what's worked? Has this new video format is working. I only feel like I have to produce one good video a week and hopefully you'll think this is it, and then I can then spin off all my content from there. And the other thing that worked this week was working through a Find a Ged Daily again, which is great he's a really cool character and also working out how to use chat GPT to create my own app. That's a real high for me. I love new technology, absolutely love it.
And what didn't work was all of this creation, and new creation has meant I haven't done some of the things as routine that I would have liked to have done. So what's changing as a result of that is that I'm going to be focusing the next week on getting some sort of system nail down for how to disseminate the new information from my weekly video that follows this magazine format, because I've changed the format of how I'm creating content. I now need to change the system a little bit of where it goes and what it looks like when it goes there. So that's what will be changing this week and I hope you have a think about your life lessons and I'd love to see anything you're willing to share in the comments below here, or just hit reply. If you're reading the newsletter and all of the emails come direct to me that don't go to anyone else. So I'd love to hear about your life lessons and specifically your business lessons that you've either learned or you'd like to learn in the near future. Speak soon. Bye.

Ghanaian Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale has said his relationship with Shatta Michy, the mother of his son “is for life.”
In the past few months, several media reports has it that the two have gone their separate ways as a result of irreconcilable differences.
“Me and Shatta Michy? It is for life. Come on! She is my next artiste I’m going to produce… She is back home.” stated Wale to Giovani Caleb and Berla Mundi, hosts of Starr Drive on Starr 103.5 FM Monday afternoon.
The ‘Low Tempo‘ act commended Michy for making an impact in his life.
“…cos I’ve experienced that. Let me just say like, for instance when people see Shatta Wale, they see me like this rugged, rowdy boy… who doesn’t know what he is doing. I’d say with the help of my partner around me, I’ve been able to put certain things on the table for myself. I feel women are more important in our lives.”
Wale also spoke about his upcoming album, revealing that Nigerian artiste, Olamide is the only act featured on the project.
“Olamide is the only artiste I featured on my album because I really wanted to make this album a statement. You know I wanted to get one of the toughest guys in Africa who also holds the crowd like me, someone who is understood by the people and Olamide is the artiste I chose for this album.” | <urn:uuid:d3384ba3-2770-4279-ab83-f3b4b6cbc08f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://nkonkonsa.com/me-and-shatta-michy-is-for-life-shatta-wale/ | 2024-04-21T21:09:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.978002 | 343 |
On Sunday night, fellow Canadian Maggie MacNeil took gold at the Olympics.
She won the 100M Butterfly with a time of 55.59 seconds. But here's where the Olympics is always interesting.
2nd place had a time of 55.64 seconds
3rd place: 55.72 seconds
4th place: 55.73 seconds
To understand how fast that is…
Take a moment and clap your hands together once. Listen to the sound. That sound represents a bit more than the difference between going home with a medal and going home empty-handed.
The gold medal winners will have 10X the opportunities after winning to capitalize on that success than the other winner, and the 4th place winner will constantly wonder if they could have done anything better.
But here's the thing, the gold medal winner didn’t work 10X harder. In most cases, they’ve barely won by tiny fractions of a second like this. Maggie MacNeil didn't realize to many seconds after the race had finished she had won.
In this week's video, I share why this matters and what your organization can do to ensure you're always shooting for the podium. Check it out HERE or click the link below.

I read this sentence this morning in a book I'm reading, Moonwalking With Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything. I was stopped in my tracks and reflected.
The context of the sentence was a discussion the author had with Ed Cooke, an English mnemonist about the performance of the brain.
Cooke and the author were discussing a memory championship. Cooke says..
I figure that there are two ways of figuring out how the brain works. The first is the way that empirical psychology does it, which is that you take a look from the outside and take a load of measurements on a load of different people. The other way follows the logic that a system's optimal performance can tell you something about it's design. Perhaps the best way to understand human memory is to try very hard to optimise it"
Optimise a system and it can reveal how it works. An optimal performance is where the system can sustain maximum throughput and quality without deteriorating or failing.
I started thinking about different systems (city traffic, product development teams, financial markets) and realised that when a system is pushed to maximise it's potential, you find out so much more about how it works than if you observe it when it's running slack.
The same is true of people. I learn much more about myself when I'm challenged than I do when things are easy. I learn more about my team too and about people I partner with. These are learning opportunities.
Think about it: optimising for performance can reveal the design of a system. | <urn:uuid:c72f0acc-14d7-4c8f-b0d6-7f70fc1406a6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://norrisnode.com/a-systems-optimal-performance-can-tell-you-something-about-its-design/ | 2024-04-21T20:36:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.968175 | 317 |
19 Jan Miami Laser Hair Removal With The Palomar Icon Laser
Dare To Go Bare! Permanent Hair Reduction for Life in South Florida
Whether you live here in Miami / South Florida or are just a summer sun worshipper, there is nothing quite as embarrassing as 5 o’clock shadow showing up at 3pm. We Floridians spend the majority of the year in shorts and tank tops, and shaving can be a dreaded daily activity. Whether it is legs, under arm hair, bikini line, back or facial shaving or plucking that has you down, it can be a chore. And waxing? That is no fun either. Not to mention that lovely stinging sensation when hopping in the ocean after a close shave? OUCH!
What if you never have to shave or wax again? What would you do with all that extra time? How liberating would it be to be able to just walk outside with your favorite shorts on without the worry of unsightly stubble or razor rash?
With light-based permanent hair reduction your days of being a slave to the razor are over. It takes just a few simple treatments to permanently minimize hair growth and free yourself from the hassle of unwanted facial and body hair. At North Beach Vascular & Aesthetics, we use the state of the art Palomar Icon laser device, an FDA approved treatment that targets and destroys hair cells responsible for hair growth without harming the surrounding skin. No matter your skin tone or hair color, including very light and very dark skin, fast and painless laser hair removal treatment is here! Depending on the size of the area, treatment is fast, virtually painless and the results are amazing! The hair can only be affected in an active growth phase and all hair follicles grow at different rates, so several hair removal sessions are recommended for the best results.
Most people feel a slight momentary “snap” at the treatment site during the Palomar Icon laser session and are fine to resume normal activity right after the session. Side effects are mild, with some people experiencing a mild sunburn like sensation, some minor swelling and redness, but it goes away quickly. And the benefits are worth it!
So stop fretting about that upper lip hair or those dark hairs on your arms. Now instead of enduring painful waxing or embarrassment you can have a permanent solution, and cross this off your list of worries! Give us a call to schedule an appointment with North Beach Vascular and Aesthetics today!
Have questions or ready to finally remove that unwanted hair? You deserve it!

Thermal imaging cameras engage active watching and control of temperature-fundamental strategies both with low temperatures (for instance in cooling chains) and with high temperatures (for example, in glass and metal getting ready). Their high thermal affectability makes these infrared cameras in a perfect world reasonable for exact and dynamic undertakings. Distinctive execution classes empower an appropriate model to be chosen for each application. The camera is associated using a USB interface, which additionally supplies the power.
Another standard device for non-contact temperature estimations generally utilized in modern applications is the spot pyrometer. Both spot pyrometers and warm cameras work as indicated by a similar guideline; they distinguish infrared radiation and interpret it into a temperature perusing. Thermal cameras, be that as it may, have a few focal points contrasted with spot pyrometers.
A spot pyrometer gives you a number - Thermal imaging cameras produce a picture. A spot pyrometer peruses the temperature of one single spot - a thermal imaging camera gives you temperature readings for every pixel of the whole thermal picture. Given cutting edge optics, thermal imaging cameras can likewise resolve temperatures from a more drawn out separation. It enables you to review vast zones rapidly.
The spot pyrometer is otherwise called temperature firearm or infrared thermometer. Since it works as per the same physical standard from a warm camera, a spot pyrometer can be viewed as a thermal camera with just a single pixel. Such an apparatus can be accommodating for some errands, but since it only estimates the temperature of one single detect the administrator can work without much of a stretch miss essential data. The high temperature of certain essential parts that are the close disappointment and need fix may go unnoticed.
Utilize a large number of Spot Pyrometers In the meantime
A thermal imaging camera additionally gives non-contact temperature readings, much the same as a spot pyrometer does. Not at all like a spot pyrometer have thermal imaging cameras produced not one, yet a large number of temperature readings in the meantime, one for every pixel in the picture. Utilizing one thermal imaging camera, consequently, relates to a large number of spot pyrometer estimations. The FLIR E40sc warm imaging camera has a picture resolution of 160 x 120 pixels, bringing about 19,200 temperature readings initially. The FLIR T1030sc, one of the best models for mechanical Research and development/Science applications, has a picture resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, giving you 786,432 temperature readings without a moment's delay.
Spare Time and 'See' the Warmth
A thermal imaging camera gives you a great many temperature readings. However, it additionally interprets these readings into a picture. This change into a picture results in a total diagram of the reviewed gear and enables the administrator to promptly observe little problem areas that would be barely noticeable with a spot pyrometer. Utilizing a thermal imaging camera likewise spares time. Filtering large zones with numerous segments utilizing a spot pyrometer is a very tedious errand since you need to check each part independently. A thermal imaging camera can be used to check heat dispersal on printed circuit sheets, to do quality checks or survey thermal impact in the vehicle division, or to do dissatisfaction investigation in the lab. The more remote away you hold the spot pyrometer from the item that you need to gauge, the bigger the spot size will move toward becoming, because of the idea of optics. Like this, the littler the objective, the closer you have to hold the spot pyrometer to gauge its temperature precisely. It is like this imperative to watch out for the spot size and ensure that you stand close enough to cover the whole spot measure with the objective, ideally even somewhat nearer to make a security edge. The Spot Measure Proportion characterizes a detect pyrometer's spot estimate for some random separation to the objective.
If the SSR of a spot pyrometer is 1:30, for example, this implies the temperature of a spot with a size of 1 cm in width can be precisely estimated at a separation of 30 cm. The temperature of a place having a scale of 4 cm can be calculated from a separation of 120 cm (1.2 meters). Most spot pyrometers have an SSR somewhere in the range of 1:5 and 1:50. It implies most spot pyrometers can quantify the temperature of an objective of 1 centimeter in width from a separation of 5 - 50 cm. Warm imaging cameras are the same as spot pyrometers in that infrared radiation is anticipated onto a finder lattice, with every pixel in the picture comparing to a temperature estimation.
Recognize Temperatures from a Separation
Notwithstanding when the factor of perfect versus sensible optics is considered the contrast between thermal imaging cameras and spot pyrometers in estimating separation is colossal. Most spot pyrometers can't be held any more remote away than 10 to 50 cm, expecting a 1 cm target. Most thermal imaging cameras can precisely gauge the temperature of an objective of this size (1 cm) from a few meters away. Indeed, even the FLIR E40 thermal imaging camera, with an IFOV of 2.72 mrad, can quantify the temperature of a spot of this size (1 cm) from more than 120 centimeters away. The FLIR T1030sc thermal imaging camera, a standout amongst FLIR's most exceptional models for mechanical examinations, can gauge the temperature of an objective of this size at a separation of more than seven meters with a standard 28° focal point. These qualities are determined to accept that the usual focal point is utilized. Other advanced thermal cameras include FOTRIC 228sc with up to 20 um macro lens, which is the best smallest IR resolution in the world.
A significant number of further developed thermal imaging cameras that highlight compatible focal points. At the end when another focal point has utilized this progression the IFOV, which thus influences the spot estimate proportion. For the FLIR T1030sc thermal imaging camera, for example, FLIR offers the standard 28° focal point, yet additionally a 12° zooming focal point. With this focal point, which is produced mainly for long separation perceptions, the spot measure proportion is fundamentally more significant. With the 12° zooming focal point the IFOV of a FLIR T1030sc thermal imaging camera is 0.20 mill radians. With this focal point, a similar thermal imaging camera can precisely quantify the temperature of the same size focus from a separation of right around 17 meters.
See Whether You Have to Move in Nearer
Thermal imaging cameras outflank spot pyrometers with regards to the SSR esteems, however, the SSR esteems allude to the separation from which an exact temperature estimation can be made. Recognizing a problem area does not generally require a precise temperature perusing. The problem area can be perceptible in the picture notwithstanding when the objective covers just a single pixel in the image. The temperature scanning usually won't be immaculate. However, the problem area is identified, and the administrator can draw nearer to ensure that the objective covers more pixels in the picture, guaranteeing that the temperature perusing is right.
Spot pyrometers additionally have difficulties with estimating temperature on little articles. This ability is progressively critical for a hardware review. As gadgets keep on getting quicker in handling speed, yet are required to fit into small bundles, discovering approaches to scatter the warmth and distinguish problem areas is a genuine issue. A temperature firearm can adequately identify and gauge temperature. However, its spot estimate is excessively substantial. In any case, thermal cameras with close-up optics can center down to under 5μm (micrometers) per pixel spot estimate. It enables designers and professionals to make estimations on a tiny scale. A thermal imaging camera allows you to 'see' the warmth, giving you temperature estimations as well as a moment picture of warmth appropriation. This blend of visual data and exact temperature measurements empowers you to discover blames rapidly and precisely.

A collaborative team of Molecular Foundry Users and staff used computation to design and predict a new metal–organic framework (MOF) able to separate dinitrogen from methane and other methane-rich gases.
In Advanced Materials article, "Stable Anode-Free All-Solid-State Lithium Battery through Tuned Metal Wetting on the Copper Current Collector," (Adv. Mater. 8/2023) CINT scientists and users report a stable anode-free all-solid-state battery (AF-ASSB) with a sulfide-based solid-electrolyte (argyrodite Li6PS5Cl). The battery is achieved by tuning the wetting of lithium metal on the “empty” copper current-collector. In the cover image, the sprinting antelope represent the lithium cations rapidly diffusing through the solid-state sulfide electrolyte with the blood-red sunset behind them. The still water underneath represents the smooth lithium-metal anode, while the mountains represent the dendrites, which the antelope avoid.
CFN Users at Binghamton University and CFN staff demonstrated they could control the activity and selectivity of an oxide catalyst (cupric oxide, CuO) using adsorbed oxygen.
Significance and Impact
This work provides mechanistic insights into the effect of adsorbed oxygen on the tunability of redox steps for catalytic oxidation reactions, which can play a vital role in clean energy production and environmental remediation applications.
CFN researchers and collaborators employed artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) enhanced data analytics and theory, along with high-throughput synthesis and spatially resolved characterization, to identify the phase composition of complex metal-oxide thin films.

This work shows how combinatorial methods, coupled with autonomous, “self-driving” characterization, accelerates the discovery of self-assembled nanostructures, which have potential applications in microelectronics, membranes, and catalysis.
CFN users collaborated with CFN staff on a study to correlate tantalum surface oxidation states with coherence losses in superconducting qubits. Developing a variable energy X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy methodology was key to revealing the depth profile of tantalum oxidation.
Significance and Impact
Tantalum is a promising material for superconducting qubits and has enabled record-long coherence times. Understanding the underlying reasons for qubit decoherence can yield material design pathways to ever better qubit performance.
CFN staff and users from Binghamton University co-led a study resulting in a new method to synthesize monodisperse, ternary (Pt-Fe-Ni) colloidal catalysts and measure their performance. These trimetallic materials showed superior mass (2.8x) and specific (5.6x) activities toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) compared to the benchmark platinum catalyst, and retain performance after 10,000 voltage cycles in alkaline solution.
Significance and Impact
This synthetic strategy paves the way for improving reactivity for a broad range of electrocatalytic applications, including fuel cells and water electrolysis.
In a Nature Physics paper, scientists report on an electron charge qubit with record long coherence time and strong coupling of two qubits.
Nanoparticles of lithium metal formed on the surface of a solid state lithium ion electrolyte by an atomic force microscope. The particle size and height can be controlled by using carefully chosen voltage amplitude and sweep rates. The particles can be as small as 50 nanometers in diameter and a few nanometers high, and can potentially be used in lithium nanobatteries. A. Kumar, T.M. Arruda, A. Tselev, I.N. Ivanov, J.S.

A team of scientists from CFN, Peking University, and Soochow University designed and characterized a new fuel cell catalyst — a platinum-lead core/shell structure, shaped as a nanoplate. The catalyst shape and chemical composition dramatically enhances the oxygen evolution reaction — important for fuel cell performance — while providing stability during operation.
Femtosecond laser etching is fast enough that the material vaporizes material rather than melting or burning it. Consequently, cuts made with this laser are cleaner than other nanosecond lasers that may leave ragged edges or cause material scarring. The image demonstrates this capability by etching the CINT logo onto a human hair. This etching enables highly accurate study of microfluidic processes in a variety of materials. At Los Alamos National Lab, rock samples are etched with the femtosecond laser to create a microfluidic device specific to the rock of interest and liquids within these devices are tested under conditions of extreme heat and pressure. Accordingly, earth scientists are able to study the movement of fluids through rock similar to deep earth conditions. It would be very difficult to study these exact conditions in the natural system.
Foundry industry users developed a multinozzle emitter array (MEA), a silicon chip that can dramatically shorten the time it takes to identify proteins, peptides, and other molecular components within small volumes of biological samples. This patented technology is now being commercialized by Newomics Inc., to further develop the product and build a platform for personalized health care. Some of the early work on multinozzle emitters was done at the Molecular Foundry.
Newomics’ product, which is based on the core technology developed at Berkeley Lab, is designed to work with mass spectrometers, a machine commonly used by research scientists, the pharmaceutical industry, and increasingly in clinical labs, to measure the structure and concentration of molecules. Once molecular parts are isolated, scientists can begin to understand how they work together as a system, a field known as systems biology, which holds great promise for better medicines and diagnostics as well as a host of other applications.
The dominant method for analyzing biological molecules such as peptides and proteins in a complex mixture is electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), a technique in which molecular samples are delivered to the machine as an ionized mist, propelled by an electric current. But there is a bottleneck at the front end of ESI-MS, making it slow and expensive. Each sample has to be loaded, lined up, and sprayed one at a time.
Instead of a single capillary, Newomics’ M3 emitter has eight or more nozzles working together to split a single large flow into smaller flows. For the MEA, up to 96 M3 emitters are packaged on a single chip. The development of these technologies involved a blend of microfluidic, microelectronic, and electrochemical innovations.
By clearing up the bottleneck and increasing throughput, Newomics’ emitter could dramatically reduce the cost of testing each sample. And by improving the sensitivity, it will also be possible to detect very low concentrations of molecules. For example, they showed they could analyze many different modified forms of proteins such as glycated albumin and apolipoproteins, in addition to the conventional glucose and HbA1c in diabetes monitoring, using a single drop of blood. Such tests have the potential to enable better long-term monitoring and disease management of diabetes.
The team of scientists developed and implemented a ‘physics-aware’ algorithm to correct for missing information in experimental X-ray scattering datasets. Because the algorithm relies on well-understood physics of X-ray scattering, the ‘healing’ operation provides robust and physically-rigorous results and outperforms all other conventional image interpolation methods.
Experimental X-ray scattering images always contain missing data and artifacts, which complicate further analysis, especially rapid, automated analysis. This healing operation is an essential pre-processing step for machine-learning interpretation of scientific data.
X-ray scattering is a powerful way to measure the structure of materials at the molecular- and nano-scale. Scattering images contain features, such as peaks and rings, which encode structural information. As with most scientific data, collected X-ray scattering images are inevitably ‘incomplete,’ with missing data being due to limits of the measurement, or experimental considerations. These missing data render automated data analysis of the datasets much more difficult. In this work, the team developed an image healing algorithm designed for X-ray scattering/diffraction datasets. Because the algorithm is ‘physics-aware’ (incorporating known properties of an X-ray scattering measurement), it outperforms all other image healing methods when applied to X-ray scattering data. The healed images can then be easily fed into existing data analysis pipelines. Importantly, the image healing is also a crucial pre-processing step for input to machine-learning methods — which would otherwise tend to focus on the high-intensity — but ultimately irrelevant — image defects.
Researchers have created a new catalyst that brings them one step closer to artificial photosynthesis — a system that would use renewable energy to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into stored chemical energy.
As in plants, their system consists of two linked chemical reactions: one that splits water (H2O) into protons and oxygen gas, and another that converts CO2 into carbon monoxide (CO). The CO can then be converted into hydrocarbon fuels through an established industrial process. The system would allow both the capture of carbon emissions and the storage of energy from solar or wind power.
Foundry scientists Yufeng Liang and David Prendergast performed theoretical modeling work used to interpret X-ray spectroscopy measurements made in the study, published Nov. 20 in Nature Chemistry. This work was done in support of a project originally proposed by a team from the University of Toronto.
Last year, the team developed catalysts for such reactions. But while one of their catalysts worked under neutral conditions, the other required high pH levels in order to be most active. That meant that when the two were combined, the overall process was not as efficient as it could be: energy was lost when moving charged particles between the two parts of the system.
The team has now overcome this problem by developing a new catalyst for the first reaction – the one that splits water into protons and oxygen gas. Unlike the previous catalyst, this one works at neutral pH, and under those conditions it performs better than any other catalyst previously reported.
The new catalyst is made of nickel, iron, cobalt and phosphorus, all elements that are low-cost and pose few safety hazards. It can be synthesized at room temperature using relatively inexpensive equipment, and the team showed that it remained stable as long as they tested it, a total of 100 hours.
The team employed X-ray experiments at the Canadian Light Source and Berkeley Lab’s Advanced Light Source (ALS) to reveal the working principle behind this new catalyst, mainly focusing on the nickel chemistry during the reaction itself. The Theory Facility at Berkeley Lab’s Molecular Foundry specializes in the interpretation of such X-ray results, connecting chemical intuition to the atomic and electronic structure models of working materials.
What is the scientific achievement?
We have fabricated highly-porous, highly-uniform silicon nitride membranes by replicating features from self-assembled block copolymer films. With porosities over 30% and thickness <100 nm, the membranes are designed for high throughput. Pore sizes are controllably tuned to molecular scales, for selective gas permeation. Capillary condensation within nanoscale pores enhances selectivity beyond that expected from molecule size differences.
Why does this achievement matter?
Membranes underlie integral separation processes in energy production, water purification, medicine, environmental cleanup, and chemical processing. These highly-uniform, highly-porous inorganic membranes may provide durability for high temperature operation in extreme environments.
What is the scientific achievement?
CFN users from Rutgers University worked with CFN staff to perform high-resolution, 3D imaging of metallic nanostructures by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). The measured 3D structure of these ‘nanostars’ was used as input for finite element simulations of the material physical and optical properties, in remarkable agreement with experimental measurements.
Why does this achievement matter?
Nanomaterials can have enhanced optical properties stemming from plasmonic effects — giving them promise for advanced sensors and diagnostic applications. This study represents the first time that information from STEM tomography has been used to predict nanomaterial physical and optical properties.
At the Center for Integrated Nanotechnology (CINT), researchers discovered an efficient way to make combined solar panels and light-emitting devices. Rather than using blocks of hybrid perovskite materials, they layered several thin sheets on top of each other. In this new layered pattern, they discovered important “layer-edge states.” In these states, energy is highly conserved. When excited by light or other sources, the material produces energy that doesn’t instantly dissipate and can be used to charge batteries or do other work. That is, it creates long-lived, free charge carriers that can be harvested and manipulated.

Nanotechnology researchers studying small bundles of carbon nanotubes have discovered an optical signature showing excitons bound to a single nanotube are accompanied by excitons tunneling across closely interacting nanotubes. That quantum tunneling action could impact energy distribution in carbon nanotube networks, with implications for light-emitting films and light harvesting applications. In the study, a collaborative research team from Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies and the National Institute of Standards and Technology showed that Raman spectroscopy (a form of light scattering) can provide more extensive characterization of intertube excitons. The team used chemical separations to isolate a sample of a single type of carbon nanotube structure. The nanotubes in these samples were then bundled to force interactions between individual nanotubes.
Over the past decade, researchers have been working to create nanoscale materials and devices using DNA as construction materials through a process called “DNA origami.”
Now, for the first time, a team of researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Ohio State University have generated 3-D images from 129 individual molecules of flexible DNA origami particles. Their work provides the first experimental verification of the theoretical model of DNA origami.
The research team focused on DNA structures modeled after a basic mechanism called a “Bennett linkage,” which is a 3-D structure consisting of a chain of four rods connected by hinges. This creates a skewed quadrilateral shape in which the hinges are not parallel or in-line. Using Bennett linkages as building blocks, it’s possible to create expandable, useful structures, like supports for tents that can be rapidly assembled.
The researchers relied on a technique developed at the Molecular Foundry to image the individual molecules that make up these structures. The method, called individual-particle electron tomography (IPET), takes pictures of a target molecule from multiple viewing angles, and then combines these pictures to create one 3-D, whole-molecule rendering, similar to how a medical computed tomography (CT) scan works.
Researchers captured 129 3-D images, with a resolution of 6 to 14 nanometers, that enabled them to tease out information about the dynamics and flexibility of DNA origami structures.
An international team of Foundry staff and users have created a method to direct the self-assembly of MOFs and nanocrystals into new types of 2D structures. This is the first time that researchers have been able to guide the self-assembly of organized 2D structures using MOFs and nanocrystals. This development will enable the design of new functional materials for catalysts, energy storage, and more.
What is the scientific achievement?
A team of scientists from the CFN and the University of Buffalo developed and characterized a new Pt-alloy catalyst to promote the oxygen reduction reaction in fuel cells. This catalyst is formed by annealing Pt nanoparticles deposited onto graphene tubes co-doped with nitrogen, nickel, and cobalt. After annealing, the resulting Pt-alloy catalyst and N-doped graphene support enhanced catalytic activity and stability.
Why does this achievement matter?
Pt catalysts on carbon supports are used to promote the oxygen reduction reaction in commercial fuel cells, but these catalysts suffer from poor long-term stability. The Pt-alloy catalysts synthesized in this work have excellent activity and improved stability, and represent a new design strategy exploiting a unique hybrid configuration.
Using a single actuation signal, we generate a novel response—a frequency comb—in a micromechanical resonator and demonstrate the mechanism behind the behavior. Mode coupling can be nonresonant, where the frequencies of the different vibrational modes do not match and result in inefficiency or instability, or resonant, where the frequencies of the different modes satisfy proportional relationships and produce efficient energy transfer or improve stability. Both nonresonant and resonant typically require multiple external signals to create the multiple modes. In this work, using a micromechanical device, we generate both a flexural mode and a torsional mode with a single signal. The two modes have proportional frequencies and couple to generate a “frequency comb.” Further investigation traces the source of the novel behavior to a branching of the vibrational frequency into two stable paths—a bifurcation. A generic model describes the internal resonance using experimental data from the device. This completely mechanical model, which can be easily controlled, may be applied to certain biological systems and possibly as a way to emulate neuron interactions. Standard experimental measurements were used to determine the model parameters from the two vibrational modes, flexural and torsional, whose interactions are responsible for the unique frequency comb response. Capabilities from the Center for Nanoscale Materials include electrical equipment to measure device properties.
CFN staff in collaboration with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign developed a polymerization model that evolves from a "soup" of different monomers into a complex system made from a limited number of polymer segments, which reduces the entropy in the system. Numerical results, supported by mathematical analysis, confirm the survival and extinction process that resembles natural selection, and drives the dramatic decrease of informational entropy.
The emergence of life from non-living matter is one of the greatest mysteries of fundamental science. The model could also be applied to make biopolymers and nanostructures.
A team of scientists from the Center for Mesoscale Transport Properties Energy Frontier Research Center working with CFN staff to study in real time how the size of zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O) nanoparticles determines their performance during battery operation. The team found that the improved performance observed when using smaller nanoparticles (6-9 nm) is because lithium is taken up by forming a solid-solution, a more efficient reaction pathway.
Understanding lithiation in materials as a function of particle size is helpful in designing batteries with improved performance and longevity. In-situ, dry cell transmission electron microscopy allows direct observation of structural changes in real time and with high spatial resolution.
CFN staff members found that increasing the film thickness of cylinder-forming block copolymers frustrates their self-assembly and results in highly defective nanoscale patterns. However, blending small homopolymers into the films alleviates the frustration, especially during early stages of pattern formation. In-situ grazing-incidence X-ray scattering and ex-situ electron microscopy reveal the ways that these homopolymers help produce more uniform and well-oriented patterns.
Improving the quality of nanopatterns produced via self-assembly in thicker polymer films creates new opportunities to engineer functional, large-area surface nanotextures and nanoporous membranes.
CFN Staff have discovered a new method to synthesize hollow metallic nanostructures with surface openings, which can carry and deliver cargos of guest nanoobjects. These nanowrappers have unique optical signatures originating from plasmonic effects and their complex nanoarchitecture. Advanced electron tomography provides 3D images at different stages of synthesis, which tracks their transition from Ag nanocubes with sharp corners to Au-Ag alloy nanowrappers with large cubic pores at all corners.
This research is a promising new strategy for synthesis of porous, 3D nanoarchitectures. Nanowrappers have biomedical potential as photothermal therapeutics, vehicles for photoinduced drug delivery, or agents for improved imaging contrast.
CINT scientists and collaborators were the first to grow an isotopically pure and highly uniform TMD material only six atoms thick. They compared this to an otherwise identical film of naturally abundant TMD, which has several different isotopes within the material. Along with characterizing the electronic band structure and vibrational spectra, the team found a surprisingly large effect in light emission, which is not predicted by current theoretical models.
By implanting silicon ions in diamond with extreme precision and then controlling the strain on the crystal structure, CINT scientists and collaborators showed that they could significantly increase the spin lifetimes of solid-state quantum bits. This is of fundamental importance to quantum mechanics and quantum computing.
CFN scientists and BNL collaborators from NSLS-II and the Computational Science Initiative deduced the structure of ultrathin titania (TiO2) coatings on ZnO nanowire photocatalysts by employing new data analytic approaches to X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) measurements. The ultrathin, amorphous TiO2 promotes efficient charge transfer during photocatalytic water splitting while also protecting the catalyst against photocorrosion.
This research implements a unique, data-driven approach to deciphering the structure of highly amorphous materials at the smallest dimensions from X-ray spectra, and lays the groundwork for understanding chemical and electronic properties.
CFN staff and collaborators studied the performance of magnetite (Fe3O4) as an inexpensive, nontoxic battery material. Batteries made using magnetite can have high capacities, but unfortunately their capacity fades with battery cycling. The team combined in-situ transmission electron microscopy and synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy to understand the origins of this capacity —directly observing the accumulation of obstacles to electron transport in the magnetite material.
In-situ transmission electron microscopy allowed direct observations of electrode structural changes in real time. Understanding how kinetic barriers are linked to capacity fading in materials is important for their future practical implementation.
CFN Users from Columbia University working in collaboration with CFN staff found that intercalating oxygen at the interface between graphene and iridium can change the electronic states of this interface resulting in nearly-flat bands. The scientists used micro-spot angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (µARPES) measurements and density-functional-theory calculations to explain the mechanism by which ordered oxygen induces a nearly-flat band structure in graphene.
Controlling the electronic states of 2D interfaces will enable new opportunities to engineer band structures and electronic properties in graphene and other 2D materials.
CFN staff and users from ExxonMobil have developed a new approach to identifying heteroatoms, like nitrogen and sulfur, commonly found in aromatic hydrocarbon molecules. The team used non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc–AFM) measurements to determine the chemical structure of molecules that can be found in complex mixtures of crude oil.
NOx and SOx are two major pollutants that result from the combustion of fossil fuels. Straightforward and robust methods for identifying nitrogen- and sulfur-containing hydrocarbon molecules can improve methods to produce cleaner fuels from crude oil.
A collaborative team of DOE scientists developed a new artificial intelligence method for autonomous experimentation. Their versatile algorithm was integrated into an X-ray scattering instrument and deployed to study nanomaterials without need for human interaction.
Machine-guided scientific studies can liberate human scientists from micro-managing experiment details, allowing them to focus instead on understanding the scientific meaning of the results. The methods in this work demonstrate the ability of autonomous methods to achieve high-fidelity searches of experimental problems more efficiently than traditional approaches.
CFN and CNMS users from the University of Buffalo led a collaborative study of a new manganese catalyst that significantly enhances the important oxygen reduction reaction in fuel cells. The catalyst enables a large half-wave potential of 0.80 V and remains stable in acidic environments in which fuel cells operate. Mechanistic studies identify the 4-electron pathway responsible for the enhanced performance. The catalyst structure — atomically dispersed MnN4 embedded in graphitic carbon, was established by multimodal X-ray absorption spectroscopy and atomic resolution electron microscopy.
Discovery of catalysts that are free from platinum group metals is necessary for wider adoption of fuel cell technologies. The catalyst structure and reaction mechanism identified here provide clues for progress on this important goal.
Scientists from MIT and CFN researchers have developed a new, scalable approach to creating highly-uniform single-crystal nanodiamonds. The team combined self-assembled nanopatterning with plasma etching for precise synthesis of large quantities of 30 nm diameter nanodiamonds. Photoluminescence measurements demonstrated single-photon emission from single nitrogen vacancy centers located within the nanodiamonds.
Solid-state defects are a leading material system candidate for quantum communication and sensing. Single optical defects in nanodiamonds have potential as a sensor platform with unparalleled sensitivity.
A CFN user project investigated Mn- and N- doped catalysts (Mn-N-C) for the oxygen reduction reaction in fuel cells using combined computational and experimental methods. Calculations showed that the Mn-N-C catalyst has the potential to achieve a performance near that of a Pt catalyst (60 mV lower in terms of half-wave potential). Experiments showed the new catalyst has superior stability over 10,000 cycles compared to an Fe catalyst, degrading 75% percent less even after undergoing twice as many potential cycles.
Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells have the potential to reduce energy use, pollutant emissions, and dependence on fossil fuels. Efficient, stable catalysts that are free from platinum group metals are key for widespread fuel-cell adoption.
CFN scientists and a team of collaborators have devised a new approach for building nanomaterials for use as nanomedicines. The team developed a class of biocompatible molecular coatings and used them to stabilize wireframed DNA origami cages. The coatings give the structure multifunctionality and environmental stability. In this work, the researchers showed that the designed nanomaterials are capable of carrying an anticancer drug and delivering medicines with a controllable release.
Although DNA nanotechnology provides a toolkit for creating programmable nanostructures with potential for biomedical applications, a challenge is the limited structural integrity of these materials in complex biological fluids. The molecular coatings developed in this work solve this challenge, paving the way for this approach to be used in drug delivery, bioimaging, and cellular targeting.
A collaborative team from CFN, NSLS-II, and Stony Brook University created a machine-learning algorithm based on a convolutional neural network that accelerates the process of imaging materials with coherent X-rays. This imaging method, called X-ray ‘ptychography,’ is a powerful, high-resolution technique that typically requires long experimental and computational time. The machine-learning algorithm accelerates ptychographic imaging by around 90% based on simulations compared to conventional methods.
The speed provided by this new, machine learning-based method makes possible the use of X-ray ptychography for high-resolution studies of beam sensitive materials, and to image in-situ dynamics of nanomaterials in different environments.
A collaborative team of users, led by University of Wisconsin-Madison, worked closely with CFN staff to show that ultrathin films of samarium nickel oxide can mask the thermal radiation emitted from sources. The cloaking mechanism is due to this quantum material undergoing a unique, gradual insulator-to-metal phase transition across the temperature range of 100 °C and 140 °C — the temperature range of interest.
This study shows that quantum materials may be used to manage thermal radiation — important for applications such as infrared camouflage, privacy shielding, and for heat transfer control.
Alzheimer’s disease takes an enormous human toll. Current estimates suggest that one in ten persons age 65 or older are living with it, which accounts for an estimated 60–80% of dementia victims. This major brain disorder gradually destroys memory and cognitive functions. Scientists at the Center for Nanoscale Materials and Advanced Photon Sources, together with Argonne National Laboratory's Biosciences Division and Korea (KIST/KAIST), have developed nanotechnology that can trap and clear the brain peptides that contribute to this disease. The nanotechnology developed in this project could prevent the abnormal assembly of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides in the brain, a major hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Effective depletion of these peptides could significantly delay Alzheimer’s progression. This technology, based on mesoporous silica nanostructures, may thus represent an attractive therapeutic agent for the clinical treatment of Alzheimer’s disease in the future.
For the first time, scientists at the Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM) and Imperial College London observed an exceptional surface – a continuous saddle-shaped surface comprised of exceptional points. The surface displays unique phenomena, such as complex anisotropic behavior, that can enable desirable behavior such as high sensitivity and unidirectional signal propagation in materials. Past research has detected exceptional points and lines, but this is the first time researchers have plotted surfaces with potential impact on physical processes.
To produce the surface, the scientists constructed a magnon polariton system using a small magnetic sphere of yttrium iron garnet and a specialized circuit board that confines microwaves. They characterized the system using a magneto-electro-optical spectrometer at the CNM and then plotted the results in three-dimensional graphs to produce the exceptional surface. The experimental realization of exceptional surfaces could have applications in information processing and sensing, including in the realm of quantum technology.
Working with theorists in the University of Chicago’s Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, Argonne’s researchers have demonstrated a novel approach that allows real-time control of the interactions between microwave photons and magnons, potentially leading to advances in electronic devices and quantum signal processing. Microwave photons are elementary particles forming the electromagnetic waves used for wireless communications. Magnons are the elementary particles forming “spin waves” — wave-like disturbances in an ordered array of microscopic aligned spins that can occur in certain magnetic materials. Microwave photon-magnon interaction has emerged as a promising platform for classical and quantum information processing. This interaction had proved impossible to manipulate in real time. By smart engineering, the team employs an electrical signal to periodically alter the magnon vibrational frequency and thereby induce effective magnon-photon interaction. The result is a first-ever microwave-magnonic device with on-demand tunability. The device can control the strength of the photon-magnon interaction at any point as information is being transferred between photons and magnons. The team’s discovery opens a new direction for magnon-based signal processing and should lead to electronic devices with new capabilities. It may also enable important applications for quantum signal processing, where microwave-magnonic interactions are being explored as a promising candidate for transferring information between different quantum systems.
A team from the Air Force Research Laboratory and CFN determined the influence of carbon and hydrogen on iron nanocatalysts used to grow “forests” of carbon nanotubes. This work shows that carbon byproducts can efficiently activate the catalysts by reducing them, resulting in the growth of densely packed, tall carbon nanotube forests in high yield.
Carbon nanotubes have physical and chemical properties attractive for sensors, energy storage, and composite materials. This study provides a new fundamental understanding of common practices used to synthesize these materials and provides a pathway to improving carbon nanotube densities.
CFN scientists demonstrated that nanoporous silica films less than one nm thick boost the activity of a palladium surface for carbon monoxide oxidation, a critical reaction in environmental chemistry. In situ IR & X-ray spectroscopies and mass spectrometry reveal that the film nanostructure disperses CO adsorption and restricts adsorption geometries, enhancing CO conversion and increasing CO2 production by 12 percent, compared to that on palladium alone.
Carbon monoxide oxidation converts poisonous CO and O2 to CO2, often with the aid of catalytic palladium. The results reveal the impact of 2D silica films in enhancing metal-catalyzed reactions, which can be applied to other confined reactions and 2D materials.
A collaborative team of scientists at Brookhaven Lab and Kyungpook National University used transmission electron microscopy and synchrotron x-ray techniques to understand the structural changes in metal-oxide battery electrodes during charging and discharging. They found asymmetric reaction pathways for lithium insertion (charging) and extraction (discharging), with slow lithium-ion diffusion and incomplete lithium extraction during discharge, accelerating the electrode degradation.
A detailed understanding of how the structure of conversion-type metal oxide electrodes evolves during battery cycling can be applied to optimize the performance of other conversion-type materials like metal fluorides and sulfides.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — CINT Scientist Brad Boyce, a materials scientist at Sandia National Laboratories, was elected president of The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society.
Boyce will become vice president of the society on March 3 at its annual meeting, and then serve three consecutive one-year terms as vice president, president and past president. He is the second Sandia employee to be elected to lead the professional society. The first was Elizabeth Holm, now a professor at Carnegie Mellon University.
The professional society, also known as TMS, includes 11,000 materials scientists and engineers from around the world. It fosters the exchange of knowledge and ideas in topics ranging from producing metals from mined ores to advanced applications of materials.
“It’s really an honor to assume this responsibility,” Boyce said. “The society has been a professional family to me since I was a student. I really came into my own through my engagement with the society, and it provided me a platform to present my ideas and to hear the ideas of others. We have this shared passion and challenge with the materials we work with. Through the society, I’ve been able to not only discuss my technical work with the professionals who I highly respect, but become friends with them.”

Significance and Impact
This cleaning mechanism is an important tool for developing manufacturing protocols for large and high-quality devices, and obviates additional post-cleaning processes.
CFN scientists created a hybrid, organic-inorganic polymer and integrated it into a memory device, showing the ability to tune device switching voltage, off-state current, and stochastic variation by controlling the amount of infiltrated inorganic material.
Significance and Impact
This work demonstrates control of device switching parameters and reduced stochastic switching, which are critical technology issues for resistive random-access memory (RRAM). These devices show promise as multi-level memories, which are essential elements in neuromorphic computing.
A team of CFN users and staff formed single molecule circuits with single metallocenes and gold electrodes. They found that barrel shaped metallocenes bind to gold without need for chemical link groups, and exhibit extended conductance plateaus. Metallocenes bind more strongly to a dull tip, compared to a sharp one.
Significance and Impact
Understanding how metallocenes form junctions differently from the more widely studied, rod shaped molecular wires can allow for further manipulation and tunability of these single-molecule circuits.
Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science and CFN discovered that methanol to hydrogen conversion using copper catalysts displays kinetic behavior that deviates from well-established models, which is explained by measurements of intermediates in the reaction pathway.
Significance and Impact

CFN researchers demonstrated that elevated electrolyte temperatures increase the activity of a bismuth vanadate electrode for solar hydrogen generation by photoelectrochemical water splitting by 40 percent, due to more efficient charge carrier separation and a favorable semiconductor surface reconstruction.
Significance and Impact

Through the BNL-led Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA), a team of scientists at Stony Brook and CFN proposed a new quantum algorithm to accurately solve total energies of molecules.
Significance and Impact
This work will find application in quantum chemistry, such as predicting reaction energies and lowering barriers for future quantum devices by tackling the limitations caused by energy level crossings and energy gap closing.
Transmission electron microscopy ( ) of the discharged cathode product indicated some Mo3P nanoparticles with amorphous film (10 to 20 nm thick), presumably the LiO2/Li2O2/Li2O observed by the Raman mapping.
Prior to this work, the excitons in CdSe nanoplatelets (NPLs) were thought to follow the Giant Oscillator Strength (GOST) model, which produces a large increase in exciton size at low temperature. This work shows that is not the case and the exciton remains highly localized at low temperature.
Synthesis of the nanoplatelets was performed at the CNM. All characterization measurements including static absorption, transient absorption, and the optical Stark effect were performed at the CNM between room temperature and 3 K on a series of nanoplatelets.
In a Nature paper, scientists report that they have determined both the elemental type and chemical state of single iron and terbium atoms using synchrotron X-rays. | <urn:uuid:cc041ea2-f398-490e-9480-cec7edce54cd> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://nsrcportal.sandia.gov/Home/News | 2024-04-21T22:00:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.913893 | 8,615 |

If you’re looking for a feel-good book that doesn’t feel like an assigned reading and will make you feel seen, then this cozy read might be the one for you.
The desire to quit your job, pack your bags, move to a completely new place, start over, and open a bookstore – slash – café may call to some more strongly than others. But if you’re an avid reader chances are the thought has crossed your mind at least once.
More than just an occupational cover to justify to your well-intentioned if slightly nosy parents your penchant for reading the day away, the idea of a place where people can come together to silently share their love of books and meet interesting people is tempting regardless of where you fall on the scale of introversion. This is the world that Hwang Bo-reum creates in her sensational book: “Welcome to Hyunam-Dong Bookshop”.
What’s it about?
Despite the cover’s whimsical but warm palette, you may be surprised to find that this cozy book isn’t in the fantasy genre. At its core, “Welcome to Hyunam-Dong Bookshop” is a big bear hug for those who have something heavy in their hearts they need to let go of, as well as a survey of different perspectives towards the corporate grind.
How do these two fit together? Hwang Bo-reum’s first foray into the world of full-length novels (with the help of translator Shanna Tan) presents a narrative that is devoid of intense action but is far from boring. If the plot was laid out simply and objectively, one might say that this is a book where “almost nothing happens”. But what keeps you going is the emotional struggles of the characters – seeing yourself in them and occasionally holding back tears when their inner monologue hits a little too close to home.
What makes it special?
In this book, the reader is presented with a cast of characters – each at different stages in their life yet grappling with essentially the same question: What is the right way to live my life? From the burnt out owner of the titular bookshop running away from her past to chase her childhood dreams, to the frustrated barista who “did everything right” in his life only to find that “it do be like that sometimes”, to the angsty teen practically being dragged by the collar to the shop so he might finally find some inspiration for his future, and so on – all of these people find refuge in a space where the exchange of ideas and the expertly-brewed coffee are free flowing.
This cozy read dares you to care deeply about people like the auntie who could talk your ear off about how unhappy her marriage is, as well as the auntie who crochets the cutest, softest figures despite the fiery rage that fuels her. As you watch these characters create a cozy community around each other that enables them the safety to grow, you may find yourself wondering if there’s something you could stand to let go of as well.
Should you read it?
Should you read “Welcome to Hyunam-dong Bookshop”? There is no “should” where casual reading is concerned, but this book is about as cozy they come. Should you open a bookshop? This is not a business advice column, so please do your own research. Will you feel good after reading this? If reading about good people letting go of their baggage makes you smile, then absolutely.

Orwell Astronomical Society (Ipswich)
Solar Annular Eclipse, 14 December 2001
Once again NASA's 50 Year Canon of Solar Eclipses directed us to an exotic part of the planet to see the Sun, Moon and Earth come into alignment! Six months previously, on the other side of the Earth's orbit, we had seen a spectacular solar total eclipse from Zambia. This time however the Moon was further from the Earth and the Earth was closer to the Sun so the Moon failed to cover the Sun completely and the eclipse was annular.
Fred Espenak's maps of the eclipse path showed just one small region where the eclipse was visible from land. The eclipse track traversed most of the Pacific, only hitting land at Costa Rica near sunset. The only dedicated eclipse trips we could find were very expensive and originated in the USA. As a result we scoured the holiday brochures for package tours to the area and found one by Kuoni that put us just a few miles north of the centre line on eclipse day, in Tamarindo, on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica.
We flew first to the capital city, San Jose, for a three-day stay, and it was immediately obvious that things weren't as expected. Instead of the clear blue skies of the dry season we were greeted by grey clouds and rain. Only the day trip to the rainforest lived up to expectations with a torrential downpour as we pulled up to the visitor centre. The excursion to see the spectacular volcanic crater of Mount Irazu was like standing on Dartmoor in thick fog!
After our time in San Jose, we flew to Tamarindo for the eclipse and our spirits rose as the local weather forecast predicted all-round sunshine. However, our hopes were soon dashed as we flew through all-round rain cloud for most of the journey. On our first day in Tamarindo it was generally cloudy and it rained. On our second day there, again it was generally cloudy and it rained! Day three was eclipse day. Yes it was cloudy but not quite as bad, until midday when it became completely overcast again. The partial eclipse started at 3.15pm and up to two hours beforehand we had no expectation of seeing anything of it. However, by 2.30pm, as we left the hotel for our observing site on the beach, large patches of blue sky appeared along with the Sun. By first contact the Sun was clear of the cloud and we were much happier.
Some cloud drifted in front of the Sun obscuring some of the partial phase but we were able to see most of the slow progress of the Moon across the solar disc. With less than 30 minutes until 2nd contact a rather menacing lump of thick grey cloud drifted across the Sun and we nervously looked at our watches. Minutes went by and the cloud barely moved. Ten minutes to go and still no Sun. Five minutes to go ... no Sun. With just a couple of minutes to go before 2nd contact the Sun did start to reappear as a nearly complete ring of light but with the Moon still touching one side of the solar limb.
The annular phase began with the Sun, although shining through high cloud, clearly visible to the naked eye without the need to use a solar filter. We took a frantic series of pictures over the next few minutes, some with a filter and some without. We witnessed most of the three minutes of annularity before once again cloud began to obscure the Sun. We felt lucky to have seen annularity on what turned out to be the best day of the week for eclipse viewing. The photos below were taken using a 500 mm Tamron lens at f/8 with no solar filter and an automatic exposure on 200 ASA film.
We felt all the more lucky when we met up with some friends who had observed from a hotel at the other end of the beach less than a mile away. From there the cloud had completely obscured annularity. A group of Americans who traveled from our hotel to the centre line about 30 miles south also lost the eclipse to cloud cover, glimpsing it for just a few seconds.
"Fifty Year Canon of Solar Eclipses: 1986-2035", NASA Reference Publication 1178 Revised, Fred Espenak.
Mike Harlow and Sue Brown were lucky enough to see the annular eclipse from their exotic viewpoint off the Tamarindo Pacific beach resort in north-western Costa Rica. However, please spare a thought for those of us that they left behind in the rain-sodden capital. As Mike and Sue and the other faces that we keep meeting on eclipse tours flew off from San Jose to the beach leaving Diana and me behind, we kept thinking: Costa Rica is a hot place. It doesn't rain much here. It must be clear here. We don't need to spend all that extra money travelling to the coast.
However, last minute planning can pay off, as it did for us at the 11 August 1999 eclipse. We concluded that we had to get out of the central valley in Costa Rica, as the rainy season was hanging on there for too long. We decided to catch a bus to the west coast at Puntarenas. The service bus would cost about $10 US for both of us return, but the Lonely Planet guide suggested that we would be mugged or pick-pocketed and that we should avoid the departure terminal at the Coca Cola Bus Station (named after the former soft drink bottling plant on the site) at all costs. As the day of the eclipse approached we began increasingly to doubt our decision and, on the day before the eclipse, we went to the Kuoni Travel Partners company office to ask advice on what best to do. Kuoni replied that we had two options - travel north to the volcano area or west to Puntarenas. They even phoned the Costa Rican weather bureau to ask where would be the best chance of clear skies. The bureau indicated that the further we could go south-west within the annular track the better would be our chance of clear skies. We found a helpful travel agent offering two vacancies on a day trip on a luxury catamaran, heading south-west from Puntarenas - and only $99 US each: this clearly was our best option! Our hearts went out to Mike and Sue who, according to the weather bureau, had headed towards thick cloud!
So the day of the eclipse dawned. We caught the luxury coach from our hotel in San Jose and consumed a wonderful continental breakfast en route to the coast. We boarded the catamaran, which held about 60 people plus crew. Fruit and soft drinks were free and plentiful on the two hour cruise to the desert island of Tortuga, where we had to suffer a beach party, food and wine, in and out of the Pacific on our own, exclusive desert island. What you have to put up with in the name of astronomy...
About two hours before the eclipse, we set sail again on the Pacific to see the eclipse with our resident professional astronomer. Just two things were wrong: it was totally overcast and the astronomer hadn't arrived because he was ill. No problem, the tour guide latched on to Diana and me (possibly because our tee shirts listed the other eclipses we had seen) and we became the "tour experts". Everyone had been issued with complimentary eclipse glasses and had been given a safety talk, so the next job was to find some clear sky. The captain of the boat insisted on travelling further and further north which meant that we were going into thicker cloud cover. I managed to persuade him to slow down when the clouds thinned a bit and, miraculously, five minutes before the annular phase of the eclipse, an enormous patch of blue sky cleared. With the whole boat shouting at the captain to stop, he finally did!
The outcome: we saw the initial partial phase (1st to 2nd contact) intermittently, full annularity perfectly (about two and a half minutes duration) and then most of the final partial phase, the Sun setting in eclipse.
I'm glad that Mike and Sue saw the eclipse, since most other land based observers were disappointed. The newspaper headlines the next day were along the lines of The Eclipse That Nobody Saw and Eclipse? What Eclipse? I understand that Fred Espenak himself was in Tamarindo and didn't see it.
Kuoni Travel Partners also told us that if you change a couple of letters in the Spanish for Institute of Meteorology, you get Institute of Liars, apparently a big joke in Costa Rica. It didn't go down too well with Diana, who works for the British Meteorological Office!

Thailand’s Minister of Digital Economic system and Society (DES), Chaiwut Thanakmanusorn, has introduced the potential for proposing the closure of Meta, previously often known as Fb. This drastic step is being thought-about as a part of the federal government’s efforts to fight a rising tide of monetary scams, significantly these involving cryptocurrencies. The announcement is available in response to mounting issues that scammers are exploiting the social media platform to orchestrate fraudulent schemes, in the end preying on unsuspecting victims.
The Rip-off Panorama on Social Media
Thailand’s Ministry of Digital Economic system and Society has recognized a disconcerting pattern: scammers are using in style social platforms, together with Meta, to disseminate faux commercials. These misleading adverts lure people into investing their funds, just for the scammers to swiftly drain their property. So as to add an phantasm of legitimacy, fraudsters typically make use of pictures of well-known personalities, exploiting belief and credibility to additional their schemes.
Minister Chaiwut Thanakmanusorn has expressed his staff’s intention to current a proposal for Meta’s closure by the tip of the month. The rationale behind this proposal lies within the perception that barring entry to the platform would facilitate authorities of their investigation of the people chargeable for the scams. The fraudulent actions span a spread of funding alternatives, together with gold shares, high-yield lending corporations, overseas alternate buying and selling, and most notably, cryptocurrencies.
Thanakmanusorn emphasised, “DES is within the technique of compiling proof from offenders on the Fb platform to ship the courtroom to shut Fb by the tip of this month and ask the courtroom to order the closure of the Fb area inside seven days by Fb’s offense.”
Magnitude of the Rip-off
The influence of those scams has been substantial, affecting greater than 200,000 people and leading to a staggering lack of practically $300,000. The gravity of the state of affairs has prompted the Ministry to take swift and decisive motion in an effort to safeguard the pursuits of the nation’s residents.
Thai lawmakers have additionally taken the chance to coach the general public on detecting and avoiding on-line scams. They’ve highlighted that funding alternatives promising unusually excessive returns inside a brief span of time, particularly if accompanied by the endorsement of celebrities, ought to elevate crimson flags. Furthermore, the urgency with which fraudsters strain people to speculate shortly typically signifies a possible rip-off.
The Ministry’s assertion learn, “We wish to warn folks to not be fooled by any solicitation of funding by way of social media and ask folks to confirm the details from the cited companies or associated companies earlier than publishing and forwarding such data on numerous social media channels.”
In response to the state of affairs, Meta has obtained a warning letter from the Ministry, together with different related corporations, demanding the removing of over 5,300 fraudulent adverts and pages that pose a menace to customers. The result of this example will seemingly set a precedent for the legal responsibility of social media platforms in circumstances of fraudulent actions orchestrated by their providers.
As Thailand contemplates the unconventional step of shutting down Meta within the identify of defending its residents from cryptocurrency scams, the case underscores the more and more advanced relationship between on-line platforms, regulation, and the burgeoning world of digital finance.

I went to IKEA today to look for new light fixtures. I didn't buy any, but I had a good experience none-the-less. I was wearing my anti-Bush t-shirt, and got a lot of positive reactions. I've been noticing more & more positive signs about the November election. Except for one Bush sign on my block, and a smattering of Bush bumper stickers here & there, for the most part all I see is major support for Kerry - yeah!!
However, there was one news item this week about Kerry that irked me. He was asked: knowing what we know now about Iraq, would he still go to war...he said yes. Yes?! I doubt that he thought that answer through. I think he was worried about the ignorant red-neck vote when he answered that question. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt on that one. | <urn:uuid:78ab9f68-34d9-4f10-9903-cf1f8359652a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ocd-gx-liberal.blogspot.com/2004/08/anti-bush-t-shirt.html | 2024-04-21T21:10:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.993441 | 185 |

My mother was bugging me, and I was not too happy about it.
It was Aug. 20, 1969 and we were visiting friends in Casa Grande, Ariz. My parents had moved from Casa Grande, the city of my momentous birth, in 1967 to Yuma, Ariz., where my dad took a job as an elementary school principal.
But we were back visiting, and I was having a great time running around the large house owned by my parent’s friends. The dad was a dentist, so they had all the cool stuff – a pool, juke box, pool table – you name it.
But there was something on the TV that had the adults all engaged, and my mom wanted me to see it. So she corralled my squirming 6-year-old body and made me watch. And I’m glad she did, because what they were watching was man stepping foot on the moon.
Sure, it was hard for my tiny little mind to wrap my head around what I was seeing. These guys are on the moon? The one I look up to at night?
Little mind blown.
I remember the setting that day – the living room, the people, where the TV was. But I don’t remember the actual footage in my mind. When I think of it, the replays I have seen over the years cloud the original memory.
But it was still something, and I can say I actually did see it live on television.
(And if you are one of the conspiracy nuts who says the whole thing was faked, please keep that to yourself down in your basement surrounded by your sci-fi movie posters and action figures).
I thought about that day on the recent 50-year anniversary of this incredible moment in human history – and American history – and felt proud. We did it! We were the first, and so far only, human beings to step foot on the moon. It was a great accomplishment and something that made the country collectively proud.
But reflecting on such a huge event also made me a bit sad. It made me sad for us here, today. All those decades ago we embraced a dream and made it a reality. We believed in the power of science and logic. We worked hard through seemingly impossible problems and made them work.
Now, science is scoffed at by many people in power. And we have no collective dreams, just divisive policies and partisan fights.
It makes me very sad. It makes me think about the 6-year-olds running around these days. Do their parents grab them and make them watch people in Washington constantly attack and belittle each other?
Where are the big dreams for this generation? What is the next big goal that will unite the country? That will make everyone pull together and cheer for a big collective victory?
Instead, it is name calling and lying and yelling and on and on it goes. Left, right, center. We are certainly not a nation right now that is collectively anything – except dysfunctional.
I hope for the sake of the youngest in our nation and world that this too will pass. I hope that we will again unite in a beautiful dream for mankind that we can turn into a reality. I hope the mother of some little boy or girl will hold them in front of the TV or computer screen to see a transformative moment in human history that is full of hope and promise. | <urn:uuid:d2dbad7d-ca9a-4272-87fb-6541a299cb3a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://oglecountylife.com/stories/we-need-another-big-moment-to-unite-us,20432 | 2024-04-21T20:30:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.982319 | 704 |

The Effects on Credibility and Trustworthiness of Targeting Disclosure Labels for Micro-Targeted Political Advertisements
micro-targeting, disclosures, trustworthiness, credibility, persuasion knowledgeAbstract
Political micro-targeting describes the use of data to identify members of a target audience and send messages designed to fit their views and resonate with them. The practice has received considerable attention of late, especially around questions of transparency. This study explores one potential solution to this quandary, namely, disclosure labels. Adopting a pre-registered online one-factorial three-group between-subjects experimental design, we have investigated how different types of disclosure labels for micro-targeted advertisements impact source and message credibility, as well as source trustworthiness. Furthermore, we have investigated the potential mediating effect of persuasion knowledge on these effects. We exposed 227 German Facebook users to either a Facebook advertisement without a disclosure label, a sponsored disclosure label, or a targeting disclosure label that stated they were targeted based on their online behavior. The results demonstrate small and non-significant differences between groups regarding source and message credibility and source trustworthiness, with no mediation by persuasion knowledge observed. Additionally, most participants did not recall the disclosure we exposed them to, potentially explaining these small effects within our sample. In conclusion, our targeting disclosure approaches were insufficiently informative. Hence, we argue that platforms should put more effort into improving transparency for their users than they currently do.

My biggest blog goal for the year has been to review as many new premium cabin airline products as possible. While I started off the year with what I thought was an aspirational list at the time, I’ve found reviewing new airlines to be so fun that I ended up expanding it significantly.
Earlier in the year I managed to review a lot of mainstream business class products for the first time, though all along there have been some seemingly random airlines on the list (at least from a US perspective) that I’ve wanted to try.
Tiffany and I hadn’t yet taken a big trip together this year, so since we both love flying and visiting random places, we crafted an itinerary that would allow us to try four transatlantic products over the course of about 10 days.
Funny enough part of the motivation here was that we both needed to get from the west coast to DC for a conference this past weekend, so rather than flying nonstop, we routed via Moscow, Belgrade, New York, Baku, Kiev, and New York… as one does. 😉 In the end, the routing looked as follows:
With that in mind, here’s how we booked the trip:
I’ve reviewed most transatlantic SkyTeam airlines, including Air France, Alitalia, Delta, KLM, etc. Aeroflot is an airline that has always fascinated me, and they have surprisingly decent award availability nonstop from Los Angeles to Moscow. So we managed to book the following flights from Los Angeles to Belgrade:
10/25 SU107 Los Angeles to Moscow departing 4:55PM arriving 2:45PM (+1 day)
10/26 SU2092 Moscow to Belgrade departing 8:10PM arriving 10:05PM
Cost: 62,500 Delta SkyMiles + $328.10 taxes and carrier imposed surcharges
As you can see, the downside is that there are hefty carrier imposed surcharges on Aeroflot, though I still figured it was worth trying their product… and boy, am I happy I did!
The motivation for making Belgrade our destination was that Air Serbia began flying between Belgrade and New York earlier this year, and I’ve been wanting to sample their product. Air Serbia’s frequent flyer program is Etihad Guest, so we were able to redeem Etihad Guest miles for the trip, as follows (see here for an explanation of how to redeem Etihad miles on Air Serbia):
10/29 JU500 Belgrade to New York departing 12:55PM arriving 5:25PM
Cost: 64,082 Etihad Guest miles + $57.53 taxes
Now back in New York, we saw a decent opportunity to book some paid business class tickets to Baku and back, on two airlines that aren’t really practical to book with major mileage currencies. But the airlines still interested me, so we made it work. Specifically, we managed to book AZAL Azerbaijan on a paid business class ticket, as follows:
10/31 J2102 New York to Baku departing 12:30PM arriving 7:30AM (+1 day)
Then for the return we booked Ukraine International Airlines via Kiev, as they had a business class fare that was half as much as what Azerbaijan charges (for good reason, as we later found out). The routing looked as follows:
11/03 PS602 Baku to Kiev departing 6:15AM arriving 8:05AM
11/03 PS231 Kiev to New York departing 11:05AM arriving 3:45PM
In the end we got to try four fascinating products, none of which really matched my expectations. For a teaser on the flights, check out the posts I’ve already written about our flights on Aeroflot, Air Serbia, Azerbaijan, and Ukraine.
With this itinerary we ended up having three nights in Belgrade, two nights in New York, and two nights in Baku.
In Belgrade we decided to book the Metropol Palace Hotel, which is a Starwood Luxury Collection property. The nightly rate was 80EUR per room, which made paying a better option than redeeming points, given that this hotel would have cost 7,000 Starpoints per night.
Then in Baku we booked the Hyatt Regency Baku, which is the only Hyatt or Starwood property in the city. The nightly rate was $105 per room.
This was such a fun trip, both because I was traveling with Tiffany, and also because these were four airlines I’ve long been intrigued by. Unfortunately I caught a cold halfway through our trip, which made the whole thing a bit more challenging, but we still had a great time. Stay tuned for the full review, and also for some more installments from Tiffany about the trip. | <urn:uuid:b3caaaf7-3739-490c-b09a-f40794009a2b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://onemileatatime.com/introduction-transatlantic-insanity/ | 2024-04-21T20:28:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.952768 | 1,168 |
eToroX is a professional crypto exchange and a subsidiary of eToro Group. It excels as one of the crypto exchanges with an extensive collection of digital assets like cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. In addition, it boasts a host of futuristic features and options and is one of the exchanges providing dynamic trading standards in the industry. You can enjoy API trading, credit line trading, and even multiple-order placing here.
You can expect a professional trading experience at eToro. But it is built for the veteran trader with deep knowledge of the industry. On the other hand, corporate and advanced-level traders will find eToro sophisticated, practical, and highly efficient.
Key Advantages of eToroX
Founded in 2007, the parent company – eToro Group – has been around for over a decade. It diversified to crypto when it launched eToroX trading platform in 2019. If your goal is to trade crypto assets, stablecoins, fiat currencies, and tokenized assets, eTorox can serve your needs well.
Here are some reasons that make eToroX shine:
Access to Popular Different Markets
You can explore different FX markets to diversify your portfolio. eToroX features 80+ trading pairs. Also, you can move from one market to another, choosing from the Forex market, crypto market, and commodities.
Access a Professional, Advanced Trading Interface
eToro group has done an excellent job with the layout of the platform. You can tell this by looking at the sophisticated yet accurate charts. Also, the platform has been integrated with numerous futuristic trading features apt for veteran traders.
You’ll have no challenges navigating its all-around interface that features available trading pairs, order book, margin calls, open trades, equity, canceled orders, and more.
A Secure and Trusted Platform
With eToroX, you can trade cryptocurrencies through a licensed, secure crypto Exchange. Being a subsidiary of a licensed broker, eTorox complies with government laws and regulations. In addition, it offers cold storage, secured by military-grade security protocol known as Cars technology.
Also, you trade on eToroX knowing your data and funds are safe, thanks to several protection layers. Security measures include Two-factor authentication and multi-signature technology to secure users’ funds.
Favorable Commissions & Fees
eToroX exchange has fixed Maker and Taker fees, set at 0.05% per trade (the equivalent of 5bps). Also, you pay a small fee for fiat-to-crypto transactions (approximately 1%). For fiat and crypto assets, there is a withdrawal fee. The fee for crypto assets depends on the type of crypto, while for fiat currencies – fees vary depending on the intermediary bank.
Trade-Up to 50 Different Cryptocurrencies and Stablecoins
While eToroX does not have a diversified crypto portfolio, it lists some popular ones in the market. On top of cryptocurrencies, it also deals with trading fiat currencies and tokenized assets. A unique feature of this exchange is the availability of stablecoins. eToroX has developed stable coins for 14 fiat currencies. In addition, it also has stablecoins for gold and silver.
Launched in 2010, the copy trading service is the foremost investment opportunity for traders. The copy trading service is where you can subscribe to recent news in the crypto space worldwide. You can stay up-to-date with trading news, copy transactions, etc.
Advanced Order Types:
Another unique feature of eToroX is using particular Advanced Orders types. These advanced order types come with conditions – they execute and close at given pricing. Advanced order types offered at eToroX include IOC, GTC, GTD, and FOK. Also, a trader with a sizeable trade can take advantage of the iceberg orders to conceal their trade. Iceberg orders split your order into small ones for a smooth trading process. If you are an institutional trader, you don’t have to worry about safeguarding your privacy on eToroX – you can maintain a low profile.
API Trading and Credit Line Trading
API trading allows you to integrate eToroX with third-party applications. For a better trading experience, you can merge several applications to get complete control. Unfortunately, many crypto exchanges lack this strategic feature.
Also, you can take advantage of credit line trading, a premium service that lets you increase your account liquidity. With this option, you can get deep, regulated liquidity, unlike leverage trading. For example, let’s say you deposit the minimum fee of $10K – you’d be eligible to take a credit line of x5, meaning you’d have $50 in your account for trading.
Other benefits include
- Join a massive community of traders. Get trade signals from over 135,000 strategy providers.
- Accessible to search database. Conveniently search for copy transactions using search filters or the search bar.
- Affiliate program: Invite a friend to eToroX to earn $50 as a reward.
- Convenient deposits and withdrawals. Deposits are free and accept various deposit methods, including crypto, Wire Transfer, and Signet. Also, the deposits are free, just like in eToro.
- Customized candle charts. Candle charts enable you to analyze the market before you open trades.
Key Downsides of eTorox
While eToro offers a full-fledged trading platform, it has some disadvantages. But the positives outweigh the negatives here.
- No mobile app yet.
- Not suited for newbies. Professional traders are better suited for this exchange. The minimum deposit limit is capped at $10K, while $125 is the minimum trade order.
- The minimum deposit is $10,000. eToro has high standards for the minimum deposit required because it operates without leverage.
- eToroX has been denied access to many countries.
- The application process is lengthy.
How to Get Started with eToroX
First, you need to sign up for an account with eToro so you can link your account to eToroX. But worth noting the two are two distinct platforms. The former is your stop-shop for buying and holding crypto assets, social trading, and exploring FX and stock markets. eToro X is designed to deliver a professional trading experience. As a result, this platform’s available assets are less than the original eToro exchange.
If you’re a corporate or advanced-level trader, eTorox will deliver a professional trading experience. In addition, it offers a comprehensive trading suite for a veteran trader who wants to explore FX markets and invest in crypto assets. We only hope the platform will remove restrictions for some countries to welcome more users, plus make it more straightforward to sign-up for an account.

Dhanraj Sagar Shelke, a topper from Bharti Vidhyapeeth, Pune in Finance & HR specialization and the great-grandson of artist Mr. Mahadevrao Mistari Shelke, listen to his heart and followed his passion of making oil portraits in 18 K & 24 K Carat Gold.
Dhanraj without any formal education in Art is known today as India’s first artist who makes oil portraits in 18 K & 24 K Gold worldwide. Appreciated by many Bollywood, Hollywood, Sports personalities & many leading industrialists, and corporates, he has been awarded at national and international platforms. His work has been exhibited in many prominent exhibitions of the world such as the Tokyo International Art Fair, etc.
Formally not joining the family business of real estate & multiplex, Dhanraj feels blessed to have his family support in fulfilling his wish to become Artist. Based at Kolhapur, he learned this art from a national award-winning artist Mohanrav Ganpatrao Wadangekar from Maharashtra, and seeing his dedication and innovative approach, he decided to give him knowledge for free, as he was rejected 5 times by many big art institutes to study the art.
Since childhood, his interest in drawing has helped him a lot. Though there were many hurdles in learning this art his interest and love towards this innovative art made him successful. He has given 11 years to this art and studied extensively on youtube to learn more about this art in detail. “I love to mix 24 K gold plating with crystals, metals, gems, and diamonds, etc on the portrait,” says Dhanraj Sagar Shelke.
Today Dhanraj employs over 80 artists & owns an exclusive art gallery of 20,000 sqft area with in-house art & graphic studio, where they work in all art forms like hyperplastic paintings, Sculpture, 3d printing, graphics, & large installation, etc.
With the belief of art is for everyone, and not only for the rich, this 26 years old is loved by all art lovers. His work is available both in India and abroad and on online platforms such as Etsy, Google, Fine Art America, etc.
Salman khans, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Mahesh Manjrekar, are the few celebs for whom he has made the portrait. The portrait comes in customized size and the price varies from size to size. The A-4 24 K Oil painting is priced at RS 30,000 whereas the basic18k sketch comes for Rs 2000. Each portrait is awarded the certificate of its quality and material used in the same such as Gold, Gemstones, etc and these portraits are curated in the size of A0- A5. | <urn:uuid:ee46a644-0101-4a72-8272-2ae7136bd211> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://openart.in/general-topics/dhanraj-sagar-shelke-indian-artist-making-oil-portraits-with-24k-gold-plating/ | 2024-04-21T20:25:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.975878 | 580 |

Flemish masters like Antoon van Dyck, Gaspar de Crayer and David Teniers the Elder have found their home here in this church. The work ‘The Adoration of the Shepherds’ by Antoon van Dyck was specifically painted for this church, and was made to order in 1631 by the Brotherhood of Our Lady. The showpiece of this church is a roman baptismal font in Tournai Stone. The visitor further gets to see a sculpted pulpit, a marble main altar, a Van Peteghem organ, and several worthwhile murals. The church treasury consists of, amongst others, a masterpiece of goldsmith's art: a reliquary with sapphires from about 1220-1230.
We presume that Ringoot II, lord of Dendemonde, had the church built during the 11th century. Many renovations took place from the 13th to the 16th century. The most important parts of the church were built in Scheldt Gothic style. The eight-sided tower on the crossing, where ship and transverse panels cross each other, dates from 1388. The stubby spire was replaced by a tall wooden spire during 1910-1912. During a stormy night at the end of 1940, the wooden spire blew away never to be replaced again.
After the devastation that took place during the Calvinist period (1578-1584), new furniture was added in renaissance and baroque style. During the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, several parts of the church were changed, partially also in Neo-Gothic style. Since 1948, the non-profit organisation Friends of the church of Our Lady has been watching over this building. They remind the visitors that he or she is walking in the footsteps of Margaret of York, who visited the church on July 23, 1468. This was also when her coat of arms was attached to a vault key. You are now using the guestbook.

However, for individuals just starting out or those with a very small client base, the cost can seem steep. It’s important for coaches to weigh the benefits against their current business needs and budget before making a decision.
The Coaches Console has garnered a generally favorable reputation among its users for its comprehensive features, user-friendly interface, and exemplary customer support. However, like any tool, it has its limitations, particularly concerning customization and pricing.

Last Updated: 29 Sep 2023 For: OptiSurface Designer V2.6 and above
OptiSuraface Designer does support transforming coordinates from UTM to the coordinate system used by common machine controls. See the article in the knowledgebase for more details: Export To Field Level .gps File From UTM Coordinate System
Here's a video showing the difference of two different RTK system brands.
We've just done a survey with two different GPS brand RTK systems - one was a Trimble Field Level System using the survey plug-in and one was, I think it's probably Novariant or AutoFarm System, an Australian guidance system.
The operator drove around the boundary with both systems very closely to check the difference and the MB is here. The GPS Ag System saved the coordinate system in Eastings and Northings, see these numbers here, and using the GPS datum. Then we shifted the multiplane so that they matched up at the Master Benchmark and we want to see the distance at the extremities.
As you can see, there is a significant difference at the furthest point away from the MB, which is about 1400m, there's a 21m difference in horizontal. Those lines should overlap perfectly if the coordinate systems matched. The difference is Trimble Field Level System uses the local plane coordinate system which is slightly different to the other coordinate system - the UTM Easting and Northing. So you can see a 21m difference there and at the southern edge it's 17m difference.
The problem that produces when we try and survey with one coordinate system, do a design, and then export to back out to load into another GPS system to do the earthmoving, is that these difference can end up producing significant differences in what the design should be. On this field it was quite flat, so this 20m horizontal error we tested and found the following.
The Proposed Topography Map and contour intervals is at 30mm or about 1inch. Where the contours change, the closest together that's where we will end up with the largest error design because of that horizontal error. Looking at these contours, the worst vertical error could be 80mm in a couple of locations and 40mm at a few locations. The rest of the field will be less error than that.
We could add a feature in OptiSurface to translate these systems from one to the other but there's always the risk that we don't know the exact coordinate system that each system uses. So just be aware of this issue and the easiest solution is to survey with the same type of system that you wish to do the earthworks with.
One other comment is the further you get from the MB the greater the error. If you had a small field in here or around the MB, the error is quite small and you may get away with it. A field that's maybe 400m x 400m would not be too bad at all, but with large fields it is more significant.
And the other thing is depending on how large your slopes are. If your slopes range from say 10% say at this point it's 20m out and sloping 10% then you are going to be 2m out in the vertical, you can see that's going to be a massive amount of error. This problem is least significant when you have smaller fields and flatter topographies. It is most significant when you got larger fields or larger slopes (anything above 0.10% or 0.20%).
I hope that's useful and thanks for watching.

Proper prior planning prevents poor performance has always been the catch phrase in our organization. Supply chain resiliency is a cornerstone of our value proposition to our customers. For all the planning and testing one does, one never knows for sure if one has planned properly until crisis strikes. Such is the case with COVID-19. Because the possibility of supply chain disruption is possible for numerous reasons (weather, civil unrest, disease, war, transportation disruption, cyclical holiday events around the world etc.), we have always tried to have redundant manufacturing and systems in place that can enable us to operate under less than ideal circumstances to keep our global customer base functioning as normally as possible.
Late in 2019 we had taken the normal steps to contact our customer base to make them aware of upcoming disruptions caused by Christmas followed by Lunar New Year holidays and to make sure we had product in the pipeline for them for the upcoming year. As 2020 began and COVID-19 emerged in China as a threat, it was readily apparent from discussions with our personnel in Asia, that something was afoot that had the potential to be disruptive to trade and transportation as well as manufacturing. We immediately gathered our management team in January 2020 to discuss readiness plans. Preparations included confirming our ability to convert to a remote work configuration and network security was double checked and up to date. We broke the production and warehouse team into 3 operating groups that could be separated for quarantine purposes if needed. We communicated to all employees as the first COVID-19 cases were being reported in our area, that we would pay all employees salaried or hourly for any quarantine period required if they came into contact with or contracted COVID-19 even if that period exceeded paid time off to make sure that everyone on the team did not have a financial motive to not report contact. We upgraded and intensified our daily sanitization efforts and also purchased UV-C lamps to scan and decontaminate all incoming mail, air, and express shipments. We implemented daily temperature scans for all employees and visitors and acquired a thermal scanner to simplify scans and reduce contact. All unnecessary travel was cancelled indefinitely. We also contacted a former head of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and two other local physicians to discuss our preparations to our organization and facility to see if there was anything we could be doing to make our organization less susceptible to infections. Having completed our plans and preparation by February 2020, we felt we were ready.
As the virus progressed and stay at home orders were issued, we elected to send all non-essential staff to work from home and implemented the remote work configuration we had planned for. Thankfully our plans worked as expected and most customers were completely unaware and undisrupted by the shift. We engaged with some of our key customers as well to help them prepare their organizations for the challenges ahead. Due to our foresight and planning in January of 2020, our company saw little disturbance to our business as a result of the virus. We sent our first mass customer communication on our status the first week of February. Many other organizations did not react until there was an immediate threat or a case of COVID-19 within their organization.
Although there may be a light at the end of the tunnel, we are not clear of disruptive events yet and continue to re-evaluate our preparations daily. We continue to communicate with all employees any relevant information concerning COVID-19 as it is released by various public and private organizations to ensure all team members are aware of the current status. Life goes on. We are once again faced with an extremely high infection rate nationally however we are operating with very few impediments to growth in 2021 and beyond.
Companies that will survive must improve their supply chain resiliency and figure out how to work remotely and effectively respond to disruption or they will suffer. We have continued to work on new designs and new production as well as many legacy and existing products throughout 2020. Let us be a partner and help you build your supply chain resiliency. | <urn:uuid:85201282-2bc7-4968-b831-b3b3da1f8120> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://orionfans.com/covid-19-response/ | 2024-04-21T20:56:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.980509 | 805 |
Dietary dried plum increases bone mass in adult and aged male mice.
Bone is progressively lost with advancing age. Therapies are limited and the only effective proanabolic regimen presently available to restore bone is intermittent treatment with teriparatide (parathyroid hormone 1-34). Recent evidence suggests that dietary supplementation with dried plum (DP) can prevent bone loss due to estrogen deficiency. To determine whether dietary DP supplementation can prevent the loss of bone with aging and whether bone that has already been lost can be restored, adult (6 mo) and old (18 mo) male mice were fed a normal diet or isoenergetic, isonitrogenous diets supplemented with DP (0, 15, and 25% DP by weight) for 6 mo. MicroCT analysis and bone histomorphometry were used to assess bone volume, structure, and metabolic activity before, during, and after dietary supplementation. Mice fed the 0% DP diet (control diet) lost bone, whereas both adult and old mice fed the 25% DP-supplemented diet gained bone. Adult but not old mice fed the 15% diet also gained bone. Cancellous bone volume in mice receiving 25% DP exceeded baseline levels by 40-50%. Trabecular structure varied with diet and age and responses in old mice were generally blunted. Trabecular, but not cortical, mineral density varied with age and measures of bone anabolic activity were lower in aged mice. Our findings suggest that DP contains proanabolic factors that can dramatically increase bone volume and restore bone that has already been lost due to aging. In turn, DP may provide effective prophylactic and therapeutic agents for the treatment of osteoporosis. | <urn:uuid:71406ee2-f205-4d33-a18d-9c798adf4dc3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://osteoporosis-studies.com/dried-plum-may-be-proanabolic/ | 2024-04-21T21:27:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.93491 | 349 |

Slave law in early America may be found in the formal written laws created in metropolitan places such as Paris or Madrid as well as locally within English colonies such as Barbados or South Carolina. These written laws constitute only one portion of the known law governing slave behavior, for individual masters created their own rules to restrict enslaved persons. These master-made rules of conduct almost never appear in print and were conveyed most often through oral transmission. Such vernacular laws provide another element of the limitations all enslaved people experienced in the colonial period. Those without literacy, including Native Americans or illiterate settlers, nonetheless had rules to limit slave behavior, even if they remained unwritten. Customary law, Bible precepts, and Islamic law all provided bases for understanding the rules that bound unfree persons. Most colonial law mandated barbaric punishments for slave crime, though these were sometimes commuted to banishment. Spanish and French codes and local ordinances did not always agree on how slaves should be treated.
The numerous laws found in English colonies, sometimes wrongly denominated as codes, spread widely as individuals migrated; the number and variety of such laws makes comprehensive transimperial comparisons challenging. Laws might occasionally ban keeping slaves or trading in them, but most such laws were ignored. Slave courts typically operated in arbitrary, capricious ways that assumed slave guilt and accepted weak evidence to prove it. Runaways might, if they joined strong maroon communities (bands of runaways living together), end up enforcing the laws against slave flight, much as slave catchers and slave patrols did. Laws to prevent manumission by a master frequently required the posting of bonds to prevent those freed from becoming a financial burden on their communities. Later manumission laws often mandated the physical departure of those freed, creating emotional turmoil for the newly emancipated.
Early American Slave Law
Law in Early America
Law in early America came from many sources. To focus exclusively on the English common law excludes other vital sources including (but not limited to) civil law, canon law, lex mercatoria (the law merchant), and custom. Also, the number of sources increases the farther back in time one goes and the greater the geographic area under consideration.
By the 18th century, common law had come to dominate, but not snuff out, other competing legal traditions, in part due to the numerical, political, military, and linguistic advantages of its users. English colonists were well-acquainted with the common law, but after arriving in the New World, the process of adaptation to new experiences and new surroundings meant that English common law would undergo numerous alterations.
Colonists in early America had to create legal explanations for the dispossession of Native American land and the appropriation of labor by enslaved Native Americans and Africans. Their colonial charters provided that all colonial law must conform to English law, but deviations began to appear in several areas almost from the first moment of colonization. When controversies arose within the colonies, not all disagreements were settled in courts: churches and merchants provided alternative settings to arbitrate disputes. In part, other groups provided mediation because there were so few trained lawyers and judges available in 17th-century colonies. By the 18th century, however, the number of trained practitioners increased, and the sophistication of legal knowledge in the colonies grew. The majority of legal work handled by colonial lawyers concerned contracts and property.
Law and the language of rights became more widely used by early Americans as the English attempted to tighten their control over the colonists in the mid-18th century. Rights and law became firmly linked with the Revolution in the minds of Americans, so much so that law, rights, and the American Revolution continue to form an integral part of American national identity.
Piracy in Colonial North America
Mark G. Hanna
Historians of colonial British North America have largely relegated piracy to the marginalia of the broad historical narrative from settlement to revolution. However, piracy and unregulated privateering played a pivotal role in the development of every English community along the eastern seaboard from the Carolinas to New England. Although many pirates originated in the British North American colonies and represented a diverse social spectrum, they were not supported and protected in these port communities by some underclass or proto-proletariat but by the highest echelons of colonial society, especially by colonial governors, merchants, and even ministers.
Sea marauding in its multiple forms helped shape the economic, legal, political, religious, and cultural worlds of colonial America. The illicit market that brought longed-for bullion, slaves, and luxury goods integrated British North American communities with the Caribbean, West Africa, and the Pacific and Indian Oceans throughout the 17th century. Attempts to curb the support of sea marauding at the turn of the 18th century exposed sometimes violent divisions between local merchant interests and royal officials currying favor back in England, leading to debates over the protection of English liberties across the Atlantic. When the North American colonies finally closed their ports to English pirates during the years following the Treaty of Utrecht (1713), it sparked a brief yet dramatic turn of events where English marauders preyed upon the shipping belonging to their former “nests.” During the 18th century, colonial communities began to actively support a more regulated form of privateering against agreed upon enemies that would become a hallmark of patriot maritime warfare during the American Revolution.
The Posse Comitatus Doctrine in Early America
Courts and legislatures in colonial America and the early American republic developed and refined a power to compel civilians to assist peace and law enforcement officers in arresting wrongdoers, keeping the peace, and other matters of law enforcement. This power to command civilian cooperation was known as the posse comitatus or “power of the county.” Rooted in early modern English countryside law enforcement, the posse comitatus became an important police institution in 18th- and 19th-century America. The posse comitatus was typically composed of able-bodied white male civilians who were temporarily deputized to aid a sheriff or constable. But if this “power of the county” was insufficient, law enforcement officers were often authorized to call on the military to serve as the posse comitatus.
The posse comitatus proved particularly important in buttressing slavery in the American South. Slaveholders pushed for and especially benefited from laws that required citizens to assist in the recapture of local runaway slaves and fugitive slaves who crossed into states without slavery. Though slave patrols were rooted in the posse comitatus, the posse comitatus originated as a compulsory and noncompensated institution. Slaveholders in the American South later added financial incentives for those who acted in the place of a posse to recapture slaves on the run from their owners.
The widespread use of the posse comitatus in southern slave law became part of the national discussion about slavery during the early American republic as national lawmakers contemplated how to deal with the problem of fugitive slaves who fled to free states. This dialogue culminated with the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850, in which the US Congress authorized officials to “summon and call to their aid the bystanders, or posse comitatus” and declared that “all good citizens are hereby commanded to aid and assist in the prompt and efficient execution of this law, whenever their services may be required.” During Reconstruction, the Radical Republican Congress used the posse comitatus to enforce laws that targeted conquered Confederates. After the end of Reconstruction in 1877, Southern states pushed Congress to create what would come to be known as the “Posse Comitatus Act,” which prohibited the use of federal military forces for law enforcement. The history of the posse comitatus in early America is thus best understood as a story about and an example of the centralization of government authority and its ramifications.
The Quaker “Invasion”
Adrian Chastain Weimer
Founded in the late 1640s, Quakerism reached America in the 1650s and quickly took root due to the determined work of itinerant missionaries over the next several decades. Quakers, or members of the Society of Friends, faced different legal and social challenges in each colony. Many English men and women viewed Friends with hostility because they refused to bear arms in a colony’s defense or take loyalty oaths. Others were drawn to Quakers’ egalitarian message of universal access to the light of Christ in each human being. After George Fox’s visit to the West Indies and the mainland colonies in 1671–1672, Quaker missionaries followed his lead in trying to include enslaved Africans and native Americans in their meetings. Itinerant Friends were drawn to colonies with the most severe laws, seeking a public platform from which to display, through suffering, a joyful witness to the truth of the Quaker message. English Quakers then quickly ushered accounts of their sufferings into print. Organized and supported by English Quakers such as Margaret Fell, the Quaker “invasion” of itinerant missionaries put pressure on colonial judicial systems to define the acceptable boundaries for dissent. Nascent communities of Friends from Barbados to New England struggled with the tension between Quaker ideals and the economic and social hierarchies of colonial societies.
Women, Race, and the Law in Early America
Terri L. Snyder
Everywhere across European and Indigenous settlements in 17th- and 18th-century North America and the Caribbean, the law or legal practices shaped women’s status and conditioned their dependency, regardless of race, age, marital status, or place of birth. Historians have focused much of their attention on the legal status, powers, and experiences of women of European origin across the colonies and given great consideration to the law of domestic relations, the legal disabilities of coverture, and women’s experiences as plaintiffs and defendants, both civil and criminal, in colonial courts. Early American legalities, however, differed markedly for women of color—whether free, indentured, or enslaved, and whether Native or African in origin or descent—whose relationships to the legal regimes of early America were manifold and complex. In their status under the law, experiences at the bar, and, as a result, positions in household polities, women of color reckoned with a set of legalities that differed from those of their European counterparts. The diversity of women’s experiences of the law was shaped not only by race but also by region: Indigenous people had what one historian has labeled jurispractices, while Europeans brought and created a jurisprudence of race and status that shaped treatments of women of color across imperial spaces. A widely comparative analysis of women and the law reflects ways in which race shaped women’s status under and experiences of the law as well as the legalities of their marriages in pre-Revolutionary America. | <urn:uuid:3a6a9d7f-ae24-429f-b746-7f45471630d6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://oxfordre.com/americanhistory/browse?pageSize=20&sort=titlesort&subSite=americanhistory&t_0=ORE_AMH%3AREFAH011&t_1=ORE_AMH%3AREFAH002 | 2024-04-21T21:35:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.963514 | 2,223 |

In March 1996, a catastrophic tire fire engulfed a busy section of I-95 in Philadelphia, damaging the roadway and releasing toxic emissions. The fire drew attention to an environmental issue that had been quietly building in Pennsylvania -- waste tire piles.
Lawmakers took up the issue that same year, passing Act 190 that enabled DEP to begin to assess and remediate tire piles, like the one responsible for the I-95 fire.
In 1996, Pennsylvania had 36 million waste tires in hundreds of piles across the state. Many had been established for decades as a less-expensive way to dispose of unwanted tires. Others believed that they would someday have value, so the tires were stashed in hillsides and valleys.
Since the passage of Act 190, DEP, in cooperation with private industry and willing landowners, has cleaned up 97 percent of these waste tires. Less than a million waste tires remain in the state.
Pennsylvania has proactively addressed this problem by committing $29 million to remediate waste tire piles. Much of that money was raised by tipping fees paid by the waste management industry and not taxpayer dollars.
Waste tire piles are an economic, environmental and health blight on the landscape of Pennsylvania. The state has been a leader in waste tire pile removal, but there is still work to be done.

The Department of Agriculture (DA), through the Agribusiness and Marketing Assistance Division (AMAD), has rolled out anew the “Kadiwa on Wheels” in this province to offer fresh vegetables, fruits and marine products to residents at affordable prices.
DA Senior Agriculturist Carmencita Nogoy said on Tuesday that they have been conducting mobile market activities in various areas here since Jan. 23, where a wide array of fresh fruits and vegetables, fish and other fishery products, frozen meat and poultry products are available for consumers.
Nogoy said the Kadiwa on Wheels program aims not just to offer cheaper locally produced and manufactured products to the public but also to help the fisherfolk and farmers market their produce.
“The program does not just benefit the public who can buy commodities at lower prices but also the farmers and fisherfolk who can market their products at prices that give them more income,” she said in an interview.
Among the products being offered to the residents are white onions from the Paroba Matamo Livelihood Business & Agriculture Association in Arayat town, freshly harvested lowland vegetables of the Abe-Abe Magmamangga group in Sta. Ana town and other agri-products from RV de Dios Food Manufacturing, Farmers’ Joy, Plant Habitat and Kaka Farmers Association.
Nogoy said the Kadiwa on Wheels was first rolled out at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 to ensure food accessibility and affordability and was re-introduced amid the current high prices of agricultural products.
“People are happy with the prices. They keep on asking when will Kadiwa on Wheels come back. Farmers, cooperatives, associations and small and medium enterprises are also delighted with the positive response of the communities,” she said.
The next Kadiwa on Wheels in the province is scheduled on Wednesday at the Aspire Prime Residences in Barangay Dela Paz Norte, this city.

Arsenal star Aaron Ramsey has some particularly poor memories playing against Stoke City, but the demons he needs to bury are much more complex than that.
Arsenal has seen a jubilant return to form in Aaron Ramsey since the 3-4-3 was implemented. The Welshman has always taken some time getting his feet underneath him, but now that he has had an extended run in a role that really suits him, we are seeing the Welsh Xavi again.
He has been one of, if not the, most creative attackers, a constant influence on the flow of the game and the potency of the attack and, while he has been a bit loose in possession at times, that is the last step he has to pass before regaining his true form.
Going into Stoke’s home ground of bet365 Stadium is going to be a tough match to navigate and they are going to need a bit of a cutting edge to break down the home side. Alexis and Mesut Ozil have, in the past, proven to be a bit less than needed in pressure situations, so having a true third option to press the attack has, as we have seen, been a huge difference maker.
Ramsey has demons plaguing him over these past few years, particularly in Stoke City, but those aren’t the demons I’m referring to that need to be buried. It’s nothing more than symbolic that he should bury his struggles at Stoke City.

Ramsey needs to get back into his true form, and as mentioned, one big step is to keep control of the ball better. To not be so loose with his touches. That is a big step. But the other step, which is hardly even a step so much as it is a matter of time, is getting back onto the score sheet.
It’s no secret that 2016/17 has not been the year of Aaron Ramsey. It is almost the complete opposite of what he was in 2013/14. But this resurgence gives us hope that just around the corner is the true Ramsey.
Punching home a goal would be a weight lifted. There is a rather unflattering stat floating about that Ramsey has one of the highest shot counts without a goal in the Premier League. That is a demon that can weigh on your psyche and that needs to be buried with a goal before the season winds down.
What better a stage than Stoke City, in the last away match of the season, with two more home games to go. The pressure will be lifted, the demons buried, and Ramsey can complete the trifecta with Alexis and Ozil. | <urn:uuid:1166b8c9-de6c-46cd-add8-547af07eac1e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://paininthearsenal.com/2017/05/13/arsenal-stoke-city-aaron-ramsey-bury-demons/ | 2024-04-21T21:30:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.974683 | 609 |
Recipes for people with Parkinson’s: Beetroot and cashew puree
- Dysphagia or difficulty swallowing is a common problem that can happen at any stage of Parkinson’s. Depending on your level of dysphagia a Speech Pathologist may suggest your foods be chopped, minced or pureed and liquids thickened.
- In this recipe the beetroot and cashew have been pureed.
- Pureed food has a smooth texture with no lumps, does not require chewing and is usually eaten with a spoon. Pureed food should not be sticky, and no thin liquid should separate from the food. It is safest to test pureed food using the IDDSI Fork Drip Test and IDDSI Spoon Tilt Test.
- 250 grams fresh Beetroot
- 60 grams unsalted Cashews
- Extra virgin Olive Oil
- Stick blender with chopper attachment or a food processor
- Place whole beetroots into the bottom level of a bench top or cooktop steamer. Place cashews in the steaming basket above and cook until beetroot is tender.
- Remove beetroot skins and place into the stick blender chopper/food processor along with the steamed cashews, salt and pepper & a drizzle of olive oil then blitz until smooth. Note– when blitzing, stop regularly to scrape down the sides of the processor or chopping attachment, drizzle more olive oil if mixture appears too dry.
- Pass mixture through a sieve to ensure all hard, grainy particles are removed.
- Using a touch of lemon infused olive oil works very well in this recipe if you have it available.
I hope you enjoy making and eating this beetroot and cashew puree recipe! This recipe is courtesy of Amanda Orchard

Pacific countries are among 172 nations which are now pooling funds to pre-purchase Covid-19 vaccines still in development.
Known as the Covax Facility, the initiative aims to secure supplies and deliver two billion doses of any safe and approved vaccines to these countries by the end of 2021.
The facility supports 92 developing economies, including Fiji, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
The initiative is seen as an alternative to the actions of larger countries such as the United States, which are spending billions to pre-purchase vaccines for their citizens.

Hao Jin is a powerful sorceress who lives in the city of Goka, on the continent of Tian Xia. She is also known as the Ruby Phoenix for her bright red hair that grows an ever-brighter shade of red whenever she arises from the dead by resurrection magic.1
Hao Jin was born in 4042 AR in Goka to an Abadaran priestess and a painter who emphasised the importance of order and creativity in her life. She loved exploring the Empress Yin Museum, home to countless relics from Yixing, whose stewards were fond of her but often told her to be more careful around the exhibits. Her recklessness eventually burnt the museum, killing Hao Jin and destroying countless exhibits. Her parents had her resurrected at great expense, the side-effects of which changed her hair from black to bright red and ignited her talent as a sorcerer.23
Hao Jin's resurrection, and the irrevocable damage she did to the museum, changed her. As her powers developed, Hao Jin sought to recreate her deity Abadar's collection of magic items, wealth, and treasure in a mortal version of the First Vault4 in order to preserve cultures at risk of destruction.3
After living for several centuries, in part thanks to her frequent use of resurrection magic,5 Hao Jin succeeded in accumulating an impressive collection but eventually realized that her hoard was only safe while she lived. In response, Hao Jin strove for immortality, driven by her desire to acquire the greatest collection of magical wonders from across Golarion, but such power consistently eluded her. Fearing her collection would be stolen, broken up, or simply lost to history, she made plans for her eventual permanent demise.267
The crown jewel of Hao Jin's collection was the Hao Jin Tapestry, a personal demiplane that she created to house entire communities and geographical features and safeguard her most dangerous treasures.8
Ruby Phoenix Tournament
Among her many contracts and pacts, Hao Jin made an arrangement with the Temple of Abadar in Goka. If she did not return to the temple after a decade and a day, then she would be declared dead and a competition of martial skills would be held every decade after that date. Under supervision from the clergy of Abadar, the greatest combatants of the age would compete for the fame and glory of emerging the ultimate warrior. The victor would then choose a single item as a final prize from Hao Jin's collection. These games would be called the Ruby Phoenix Tournament.9
Content with her creation, Hao Jin departed Golarion for good and moved to Axis.2 By 4391 AR, Hao Jin had not returned to the temple of Abadar for ten years. In accordance with her agreement, the priests of Abadar enacted her contract and made plans to create the first Ruby Phoenix Tournament. It would be held in a decade's time, in 4401 AR.9
Hao Jin had a close relationship with the axiomite Syndara the Sculptor who taught her how to craft demiplanes.11 When her talent surpassed his, he grew jealous and began to create evil demiplanes. Upon learning that Syndara was creating such a demiplane for Sok Jyun-son, a vicious despot in Tian Xia, she was horrified that Syndara would aid the cruelty of a man so close to her homeland and she attempted to absorb the demiplane, the Glass Lighthouse, into the Hao Jin Tapestry. Syndara and Hao Jin fought for days across numerous demiplanes with Hao Jin emerging as the victor. She sealed Syndara in the Glass Lighthouse and placed it inside her tapestry.12
When Hao Jin voluntarily relinquished her memories of creating the Hao Jin Tapestry to Axis, she also lost most of her memories of her former master, recalling only that she had worked with him in the past.13

There have been several rumors saying that LeEco is planning on a new launch- a new smartphone in September. On one hand, some reports suggest that the smartphone will launch at the IFA 2016 in Berlin, on the other hand, some other reports hint at a September 9 release date. The smartphone in question is the Le 2S. As the name suggests, this one will be the successor to the Le 2. A few leaked images have surfaced online showing what the smartphone may look like.
The first of the images was spotted by GizmoChina on Weibo, and it shows the front of the LeEco Le 2S and there barely any bezels. The 2.5D glass, and the volume control and power button on the side. The second photo that was shared by XDA shows the antenna strip at the back. The antennas are placed at the top and bottom of the device, just like what we have seen on the Meizu Pro 6. Interestingly, Apple is also expected to adopt this design on its upcoming iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
LeEco Le 2s Specifications
Based on what we have seen so far, the Le 2s is likely to feature a 5.5-inch display sporting a QHD resolution, Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor, and 8GB of RAM along with 64GB internal storage. A few other rumors also suggest that just like the Le 2-series, the Le 2s will also not have the 3.5mm audio port, and opt for the USB Type-C port paired with CDLA technology, instead.
While other details are scarce at the moment, it is highly likely that the next LeEco will be unveiled in less than a month’s time. The war between companies with specs has been on for quite a while, not. The start of the 6GB with the likes of OnePlus 3 has opened the gates to a new reality, where such unrealism is possible. With 8GB of RAM, this phone can be expected to give unparalleled. It is hard to say whether these rumors have any credits but, the anticipation is surely building. Talks of an 8GB RAM in the Le 2S has added fuel to the fire.
The Chinese company is yet to mark a significant landmark in India, but the growth rate looks promising. Besides, at their prices. Being one of the primary consumer concerns in India, the pricing has to be ideal. | <urn:uuid:bab54d1f-a4e4-40df-bf71-0284367edb98> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://pc-tablet.com/leeco-le-2s-leak-confirms-snapdragon-821-soc-qhd-display/ | 2024-04-21T20:58:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.960501 | 497 |

Two forms of warfare dominated the battlefields in the early years of the 21st century.
Drones – remotely piloted vehicles – commoditized the battlefield. Guided by operators hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away, these drones removed the risk of death from battle, while still accomplishing the objectives set by their military – or, later, corporate – superiors.
Insurgents – small bands of irregular but highly trained fighters – could blend into the civilian population, using cities as cover, vanishing into the crowds. With limited numbers and firepower, insurgencies quickly learned to do whatever was necessary to win an asymmetric war – including sacrificing themselves in suicide attacks. By the middle of the century, a synthesis of these two forms emerged.
Human drones. Corpses, reanimated and augmented by cybernetic implants, and guided by elite teams of remote operators. Anyone could be killed and turned into the perfect weapon, a bespoke killing machine optimized for a particular situation, a particular target.
Ideal, disposable weapons for the shadowy corporate conflicts and geopolitical chaos of the mid-21st century. The operators of these drones reminded themselves that however human their tools seemed, they were just meat machines.
In drone, one player plays the drone – a cybernetically reanimated corpse, memory erased, designed for the mission at hand.
Three other players are the operators – remote console jockeys, there to guide the drone through its assignment, and keep it under control. Both sets of players draw their actions from the same pool of dice, forcing them to work together – and as the game progresses, the dice pool gets tighter and the hostile Gamemaster gets more firepower to throw at them. It’s a collaborative cyberpunk dystopian psychodrama – with lots of guns. | <urn:uuid:7498c986-45ab-4a0a-b2fd-4a193bd0e33c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://pelgranepress.com/2017/10/02/drone/ | 2024-04-21T21:54:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.960905 | 363 |
50 years ago in 1974, Carlisle Events was born, but 21 years prior, the Corvette took Americans by storm. Its solid-axle C1 offerings in 1953 and performance specs of the time had consumers re-thinking what type of car they’d want to cruise about town in. During that initial run, only 300 Corvettes were made, with less than half of those still in any kind of desirable condition in 2024. Of those, many are (and will remain) in private hands as part of collections or museum showpieces. There is one, however; that will be coming to the Spring Carlisle Collector Car Auction in April, that being serial #98.
Fans and followers of Carlisle Events and Carlisle Auctions may recall that at the Spring event in 2023, another ’53 was made available. That one, serial #100, sold for a whopping $324,000. Its success, combined with the care and promotion put forth by Carlisle Auctions brought this ride to the block with the hopes of a similar, if not a superior result.
The car itself has seen a comprehensive frame-off restoration and is presented with the classic 1953 white exterior and red interior. Showcased with its original VIN tag, body, and frame, its engine is a numbers-matching blue flame six-cylinder. While under the hood looks great, its visible features are even better. The body paint is exceptional, with original trunk lid, factory radio antenna built in, and its car show quality chrome will no doubt turn heads. In addition to its powerplant, the gauges are also top-notch. In fact, all gauges are original and restored, including the radio. In short, there’s been no expense spared or shortcuts taken in making this 1953 one of the finest examples to hit the auction block in some time.
Taking possession of this 1953 is simple with Carlisle Auctions. There are three great ways to bid; in person, on the phone, and online. The auction is streamed too, making each option as simple as the other. The Spring Carlisle Collector Car Auction is April 18-19 with a 12 PM daily start. The ’53 is slated for Friday afternoon, April 19, and will carry a reserve. Carlisle Auctions frequently sees many of its top-dollar sales come by way of the Corvette and it’s expected that this ’53 will again lead all sales at the auction.
“What an exciting way to kick off our auction season,” said Tony Cline, Director of Auction Operations. “This is a rare opportunity for the collectors, and it is happening right here in Carlisle!”
The Spring Carlisle Collector Car Auction takes place in conjunction with Spring Carlisle, a five-day event that includes an automotive flea market and car corral. Spring Carlisle happens April 17-21 at the neighboring Carlisle PA Fairgrounds and welcomes nearly 100,000 guests from around the world. There’s reciprocating admission to the events too, meaning by attending one, you can easily and conveniently attend the other. | <urn:uuid:2dbae1d2-220d-484c-917e-455c793ac4e0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://pennwatch.org/carlisle-auctions-offers-one-of-the-first-100-corvettes-ever-made-at-its-spring-auction/ | 2024-04-21T19:59:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.964223 | 644 |
I am Associate Professor of Environment, Technology and Decolonial Knowledge. As an anthropologist of science, I study how knowledge about the environment comes to matter and shapes the health and futures of collective life. I am committed to thinking from, with and alongside particular lives, both human and more-than-human, relationships and worlds. I’m interested in what attending to such mundane and often taken-for-granted perspectives and forms of knowing offers our theorizing. I ask such questions alongside indigenous philosophers, ecofeminists, de-, post- and anticolonial scholars, queer and disability theorists and other fellow travelers who through their example, activism and writing animate my scholarship. I seek to develop a critical sensitivity, both as a teacher and researcher, that challenges dominant perspectives, questions the status quo and carves out possibilities of being and doing otherwise—this I take to be particularly vital in the context of a damaged planet, lingering histories of colonial and capitalist exploitation and growing inequalities in the world.
Before joining the University of Twente, I was Assistant Professor of STS and Environmental Anthropology at Freie Universität Berlin, postdoctoral research fellow at the Max Planck Institute of Social Anthropology, a member of the Law, Organization, Science and Technology group at the University of Halle and completed a PhD in Anthropology at the University of Leipzig. My work has been funded by the German Research Foundation, the Climate Center at the University of Twente, the Volkswagen Foundation, the Berlin University Alliance, the UNA-Europa network, Freie Universität’s research commission and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). My work has appeared in journals such as Social Studies of Science, Science, Technology, & Human Values, Africa, Medicine Anthropology Theory, The Sociological Review, and Somatosphere. | <urn:uuid:e45b77c0-8238-4d91-be5b-465181262c9e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://people.utwente.nl/s.calkins | 2024-04-21T21:03:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.921578 | 372 |
The Importance for Transport Companies to Protect and Secure Their Shipping Containers
Transport companies use shipping containers to pack and store massive amounts of physical items and goods before transporting them to their destinations. Shipping containers are lifted, stacked, and hauled numerous times while transported to their destinations. Transport companies must adequately secure the items inside the shipping containers to ensure they will not incur any damage during transit.
Are you curious about how shipping containers are secured to protect the items inside of them? First, the transport companies must consider all the potential risks involved in transporting the containers, such as bad weather conditions (e.g., hurricanes, wind storms, rain storms, etc.), thieves, vandals, and the rough impact of getting hauled around on freight ships and trucks. All these things could damage the items inside the shipping containers if they are not packed and secured correctly.
Fortunately, it is now easier than ever for transport companies to protect their shipping containers and the items inside them. For example, modern transport companies have access to many technologically sophisticated security systems to prevent thieves from breaking into shipping containers and stealing items from them. These innovative tech systems include alarms, GPS tracking, and CCTV cameras to detect intruders and unauthorized people attempting to access the containers.
Let us break down the top seven ways that modern transport companies are protecting and securing their shipping containers:
1) Steel Locks
Shipping containers require the highest quality and most durable locks to prevent unwanted intrusion. For this reason, transport companies use hardened steel disc locks or padlocks to fasten the container doors securely. Sometimes, they use steel lockboxes to add even more security to their shipping containers. It is not just any steel but high-tensile steel specifically designed and developed to shield and secure the locks from attempted crowbarring and break-ins.
Road transportation requires securing the shipping containers to the beds of trailers as they are actively being moved. Transport companies will use twist locks to achieve this objective because they reduce the chances of the straps snapping off or trailing on the road below. One twist lock will secure each corner point of the container to ensure its weight is distributed evenly. That way, there is much less risk of the shipping container sliding or tipping off the truck during transit.
2) CCTV Cameras
Shipping containers frequently get stored at freight ports and shipyards in transit. At these ports and shipyards, shipping containers are most susceptible to the criminal acts of thieves and vandals. That is why transport companies have invested in advanced CCTV surveillance cameras to actively monitor the shipping containers at their ports and shipyards 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Transport companies may install surveillance cameras outside and inside their shipping containers too. The inside cameras allow the transport companies to see clear images of the unauthorised intruders so that the police can identify them more easily.
In addition, some cameras are put in truck cabs to monitor the truck drivers and ensure they are not doing anything shady with the shipping containers after they leave the ports and shipyards. It depends on how much the transport company trusts their drivers and workers.
Transport companies are responsible for protecting their shipping containers from all kinds of damage, including naturally occurring deterioration. Therefore, they will often apply special sealant material to the shipping containers to prevent corrosion and rust from damaging them.
Damage from corrosion and rust can weaken the security and integrity of shipping containers. Once that happens, thieves and intruders will have an easier time finding vulnerable areas on the shipping containers that will allow them to gain entry.
For this reason, fully sealing the shipping containers with corrosion and rust-resistant materials is imperative to protect their metal.
4) GPS System
Knowing the current locations of the shipping containers allows transport companies to update their customers about the shipping status of their items. To do this, transport companies use GPS systems to track their shipping containers during transit. GPS systems let transport companies provide more accurate delivery times to increase transparency and satisfaction with customers.
In addition, transport companies also use GPS systems to ensure that the truck drivers are maintaining the speed and efficiency expected of them. They don’t want the truck drivers wasting time and doing things they are not supposed to do on company time. If truck drivers know they are getting tracked with GPS, they will more likely be motivated to do their jobs without delay.
Transport companies have started linking their GPS and CCTV cameras to advanced alarm systems. They will install alarms in the shipping containers and the various operation centres that process and store the shipping containers. These sophisticated alarms are programmed to go off for various reasons, from forced entry to temperature fluctuations.
Remember that extreme cold or moisture conditions could damage sensitive items in the shipping containers. So, the transport companies want to ensure no extreme temperature fluctuations take place that could impact the goods. If such temperature changes are detected, they will signal the drivers to execute the appropriate actions to shield the items from the extreme temperatures.
6) Better Employee Training
Transport companies make their workers and truck drivers undergo comprehensive training programs to maximize productivity and minimize mistakes. For example, they want their workers to know how to detect defects or abnormalities in the shipping containers before loading items in them. They also want them to know how to load and lock the items properly to keep them safe during transit.
Some transport companies hire their own technical specialists too. They may train their technical specialists to install sophisticated security cameras and GPS systems on their shipping containers to make monitoring and tracking the items easier.
7) Planning the Best Route
Any professional transport company will carefully plan its transit route to minimize the risk and impact to its cargo, whether domestically or internationally. They will choose the most secure path to avoid potential problems and dangers, such as piracy, theft, low bridges, construction, longer roads, traffic, unstable sections, etc.
A transport company aims to get its truck or freight ship to its destination quickly and safely. Customers entrust transport companies with their items, so they have an obligation to keep them safe throughout the entire transit process. The techniques outlined above are highly effective in helping transport companies maintain the safety and efficiency of the goods for their customers.

Storage of pH Electrodes
- The recommended storage range for pH sensors (i.e. electrode pairs, combination electrodes, and differential types) is between 10°C and 30⁰C.
- The manufacturer’s instructions should be followed when installing the sensor’s protective and solution storage caps, which should be left in place.
- A 3.0 M to 3.5 M Potassium Chloride (KCl) solution works well as a storage solution.
- This solution gives the glass electrode a neutral to slightly acidic environment and prevents the imposition of a memory, similar to how incomplete discharge of Ni-Cad batteries can result in memory imposition.
- If KCl solution is not available, the following suitable alternatives are listed in order of preference:
- pH 4.0 buffer
- Distilled Water
- Tap water When these circumstances exist, the glass measuring
- Intermittently check to confirm that the storage solution has not evaporated from electrode.
Preparation of 3 M Potassium Chloride (KCL) Solution:
- 22.365 g accurately weight 22.365 g dried KCL in the analytical balance. Add in the volumetric flask, and add 50 mL of Purified water to dissolve it. Add remaining 50 mL to make 100 ml 3 M KCL solution.
- 100 ml* (3 mol/L) * (L/1000)* (74.55 g/mol) = 22.365 g KCL
Why are electrodes usually stored in a KCl solution?
- Potassium chloride (KCl) is the main source of chloride (Cl–) ions for the electrode.
- The advantage of using KCl for this purpose is that it is pH-neutral.
- In most cases, pH metres employ KCl solutions with concentrations ranging from 3 molar to saturated.
- The glass electrode and the reference electrode of the pH meter are submerged in the electrolytic solution, which is connected to the test solution (the pH of which is to be determined) through a porous ceramic membrane.
- The voltage is then shown on a voltmeter in terms of pH.
- Hence, we need such a solution in the electrolytic solution which would provide enough ions to complete the circuit and should also not contribute or disrupt or change the pH value of the test solution, since it is in a way, connected to it. Thus, we used KCl.
- Because the test solution is in some ways related to the electrolytic solution, electrode need a solution that will deliver enough ions to complete the circuit while also not interfering with, disturbing, or changing the pH of the test solution. So, it is better that we use KCl.
- Additionally KCl solution, is a good source of ions in the form of Cl−Cl− ions & it is neutral in nature resulting it does not participate or change the pH of the test solution.

With King County now in phase 2, Greenwood’s own Childish Things is now open again for shopping. Located at 97th and Holman Road and serving our neighborhood since 2008, Childish Things sells both new and gently-used items for children and “pregnant mamas.”
Owner Wendy Powell was kind enough to share these thoughts with us:
“We are glad that we moved almost two years ago to a much larger space so we can accommodate customers in a safe manner. Phase 2 allows us 16 customers at any one time, allowing for lots of space in our 4,000 sq.ft. full of new and gently-used items for children’s and mom-to-be.
We’ve been thrilled to see our customers back, even if it takes us a few minutes to figure who you are behind those masks. It’s been a long, lonely three months, but hardly idle. We’ve built out an online shopping platform and have been doing curbside while closed. While we have only a tiny portion of our gently-used items we do have most of our new items online.
Our goal from day one (over 11 years ago) was to make parents’ lives easier and curbside pick-up has always been an offering but we didn’t quite have our processes in place.. Now, when parents are running to the beach or pool and need toys, sunscreen, a rashguard or a swimsuit they can go online or give us a call and do curbside pickup. Nobody’s favorite thing about parenting is getting the kids in and out of the car! We are here to help!
Our hours are currently Monday through Saturday from 10 to 5 and Sundays again from 11-5. We have all required safety protocols in place. Masks are required in the store. We will start buying again after the 4th of July, although that process will look different than in the past.” | <urn:uuid:a7123009-8181-4554-8778-332dbafbf80a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://phinneywood.com/2020/06/childish-things-re-opens-for-all-your-new-and-gently-used-childrens-items/ | 2024-04-21T20:26:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.966716 | 410 |

New site prepared for the transition to PHP version 8
I prepared a new site, which, due to the entry into the use of PHP version 8, had to be written in software that supports this language in that version. I based the site on the CodeIgniter framework version 4.
The site is currently very popular as can be seen from my server statistics. Currently there is a whole bunch of IP addresses from which attempts are made to read the .env file and a lot of requests for WordPress software. They are also trying to read new files so in order to prevent any problems with finding my admin panel I moved it to another server.
What I will be developing: for sure I will move all programs to the .NET 6 platform, and I hope it's an edition that already works on all hardware platforms with different operating systems installed. If it works, my programs will soon be able to be fired up on Windows, macOS and Linux. I also intend to create applications specifically for cell phones designed as: a file manager (currently you can't find an interesting one for free), a viewer for graphics and videos from a single thread on Telegram and Discord (downloaded files), and an address book in which I will finally stop getting numbers that are advertisements of companies in which I have SIM cards.
I have presented you with most of the elements I will be working on. If there are any new ones then I will also announce them. | <urn:uuid:54cec2f0-089a-4260-be1d-e605e9ab4c01> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://phpbluedragon.eu/blog-entry/new-site-prepared-for-the-transition-to-php-version-8-87.html | 2024-04-21T21:22:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.973695 | 292 |

What is a bedside commode?
A bedside commode is a movable toilet that does not use running water. It looks like a chair with a toilet seat and has a bucket or container underneath. The container can be removed for cleaning after the commode is used. A commode can be placed beside the patients bed if a person cannot get to the bathroom. Our Luxury commode has wheels so that it can be rolled away when it is not needed. The wheels should be locked when the person uses the commode to prevent the chair from moving.
Why is a bedside commode needed?
A person may need to use a commode if they need to stay in bed most of the time. A commode is useful if a person is weak or unsteady. If they are at risk of falling, a commode may be safer than walking to the bathroom.
How do I help someone use a bedside commode?
Gather the following supplies:
Toilet paper or wipes
Container with warm water
Help a person to use the commode:
Lock the wheels of the commode.
Make sure the container is under the seat.
Put a small amount of water in the container before it is used. This makes it easier to clean the container later.
Help the person out of bed and onto the commode. Use a gait belt if needed.
Stay with the person for safety, or give them a bell to ring when they are done or need help.
When the person is done:
Put on a pair of disposable gloves.
Help the person to stand.
Use toilet paper, wipes, or soap and water to help the person clean their genital area or bottom. Gently towel dry.
Help the person wash and dry their hands.
Help the person back to bed.
Remove the container and take it to the bathroom. Put the toilet seat up and empty the container into the toilet.
Clean the container with a toilet brush, germ-killing cleanser, and water. Rinse well and put the container back under the commode. Remove your gloves and throw them away. | <urn:uuid:32b2745a-433f-401c-953d-17046e5927da> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://physiosupplies.ie/blogs/news/how-to-use-a-bedside-commode | 2024-04-21T21:21:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.924749 | 442 |
Fort Luton is a small fort adjacent to Fort Horsted. Fort Luton is modest in size and was built erratically between 1876 and 1892. The original plan was for a fortification similar in layout to Fort Borstal, but the design was slowly modified. There was no main magazine, no counterscarp galleries and no caponier. There are two underground corridors on each side of the fort, each with ammunition lifts up to the ramparts. There are eight casemates providing accommodation. Other buildings were subsequently added. The rolling drawbridge, which survives, is unique but in need of restoration. As with Fort Horsted, the for was never armed.
The Fort suffered some damage in 1907 during siege operations when the moat was attacked with three camouflet charges. During these trials, the Fort was overrun. | <urn:uuid:50d6718f-09c4-401e-842e-ea1eb877a415> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://pinkroutes.com/poi/medway/fort-luton/ | 2024-04-21T21:09:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.985328 | 170 |

The Pittsburgh Penguins sellout streak is over and I’m pretty sure we’re living in a Bizarro world. The team couldn’t sell out Mike Lange night in the second game of the season, the Montreal Canadiens can’t win a game, and the Buffalo Sabres can’t lose a game. The San Jose Sharks thumped Montreal but are unsure what happens next with troublesome winger Evander Kane.
It will remain a career regret that I didn’t glom on to Mike Lange and follow him around the arena like a lost puppy when I had the chance.
The Pittsburgh Penguins sellout streak ended at 633.
Based on multiple reports, Pittsburgh Penguins President David Morehouse blamed a multitude of factors including the economy and COVID.
Other teams have had success, including the Vegas Raiders, by requiring vaccination proof to attend games. The Raiders even set up a vaccination station that allowed people to receive their first poke in exchange for entry. Thousands took part. Though my favorite Twitter response was from an angry unvaccinated individual who used exclamation points to assert that people know the risk when they go out in public. (the risk created
*ahem, Pittsburgh Penguins.
PHN+: The Penguins lost to the Dallas Stars 2-1, it was a tight defensive game with plenty of skating. The analysis, the players who played well, and a few who are cruising for a “chat” with Sullivan in the video room.
NHL News & National Hockey Now
San Jose: What will the San Jose Sharks do when Evander Kane returns from his 21-game suspension for breaking COVID protocols? The myriad of allegations, the flouting of team rules, and then the vax lie. It appears terminating his contract is not possible, and the team is…not sure what in the hell to say.
NYI: Our most heartfelt support goes to NYI legend Mike Bossy. The all-time great announced he is battling lung cancer.
TSN: Leon Draisaitl popped four points in the Oilers’ win over the Ducks. Yeah, Edmonton is pretty good.
Boston: Jake DeBrusk is in “Attack Mentality” this season. Ok!
Washington: Evgeny Kuznetsov “soared” over the Colorado Avalanche in the Washington Capitals 6-3 win.
Florida: The Panthers are on a roll. And it’s a bunch of kids under 23 who are rocking and rolling.
Wait, do kids under 23 even know what rock ‘n roll is?
Detroit: Speaking of kids. Lottery draft pick Lucas Raymond scored his first NHL goal and Detroit WON.
Vancouver: The fans were chanting “Three and 0!” The Buffalo Sabres, without Sam Reinhart, Rasmus Ristolainen, or Jack Eichel can’t be stopped. They’re like a raging river over a cliff into Canada. They’re like cheap beer with hot wings at the Anchor Bar. Buffalo beat the Canucks on Tuesday.
Colorado: It’s early. It’s only October. But the Colorado Avalanche season is off on the WRONG foot. Adrian Dater writers–already, this season feels discombobulated.
National Hockey Now (Canada):
Montreal: The Canadiens lost AGAIN (0-4-0). The coach doesn’t have answers. They lost 5-0 to the San Jose Sharks Tuesday night, and their problems are many.
Toronto: Auston Matthews shift blog. Scott Cullen tracked the elite goal scorer every time he hit the ice vs. the New York Rangers.
Calgary: Darryl Sutter gave the Calgary Flames lines a good jostle and chided his young players to give more. | <urn:uuid:860a38c1-9789-48d5-8c37-9f8594ba9d45> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://pittsburghhockeynow.com/pittsburgh-penguins-sellout-montreal-in-a-tailspin-sabres-unbeatable/ | 2024-04-21T20:58:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.934246 | 794 |
More than just a sleeping hormone.
- Is a powerful anti-oxidant
- Prevents and treats osteoporosis
Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland which is located in the brain. It is produced at night with the highest levels secreted around midnight. It regulates our circadian rhythm and tells us when to sleep and when to wake.
Melatonin occupies a unique position because it controls many of the body’s other hormones, it directs how the body uses energy to control temperature, hunger, mood, and repair of cells. Melatonin keeps the body in balance, a condition referred to as homeostasis. It is a hormone that controls the growth phase in childhood and the progressive decline of aging.
Melatonin exerts a tremendous influence on the body because it is a very powerful antioxidant, even more so than vitamin C and E. Antioxidants prevent us from damage in our tissues caused by free radicals, which contribute to aging in the form of heart disease, cancer, cataracts and immune impairment.
Because of melatonin’s ability to penetrate the blood brain barrier, its strong anti-oxidant capabilities have a neuro-protective effect on brain tissue and helps prevent Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. Melatonin supplementation has been shown to prevent progressive damage in stroke patients.
Melatonin’s immune system enhancing quality is caused by its ability to improve the function of the thymus gland, the main function of which is to fight infections. Other benefits of melatonin include its prevention of depression, its ability to help lower LDL cholesterol, and it helps prevent migraines.
In studies on how to lessen the inconvenience of jet lag, it is recommended you take 3 to 6 mg at bedtime at your destination, but don’t continue this dose after jet lag is controlled, and don’t combine melatonin with a sleeping pill. You can also take melatonin in the air, if that is when bedtime is at your destination.
We are genetically preprogrammed to age at a certain rate. This programming results in a decline of melatonin which is felt to be a signal to other cells to get old. At age 60, our melatonin levels have decreased by 50%, and we start getting signs of aging. Studies using melatonin supplementation with animals have shown to increase their life span by 25%. Because melatonin can have so many benefits without any bad side effects, this hormone should strongly be considered in your anti-aging regiment.

Nice whimsical watch face. Animated, with watchface turning from daylight to darkness as the day wears on. And Santa's have waves at you. There's 2 complications you can change, and 2 areas for shortcuts. My only design change would be to have the shortcuts visible on the face, but I know where they are located so not a big deal!

In a press release dated April 29, 2021, we reported positive topline Phase I results in our innovative hematology program. This study, the first to evaluate PLX-R18 in humans, demonstrated that PLX-R18 had the potential to stimulate the bone marrow to generate all three blood cell lines – a meaningful advantage over other existing and proposed treatments.
Blood disorders can be very challenging to manage. Consider, for example, a cancer patient suffering from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), who is receiving a Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (HCT). While the transplant itself can improve his chances of survival from the cancer, there is a potential risk of poor graft function resulting in incomplete hematopoietic recovery leaving the patient with a life-threatening condition. Between 5-10% of all HCT recipients suffer from poor graft function (source: Chen 2020).
While standard-of-care treatments may temporarily improve blood counts, patients that continuously fail to maintain satisfactory blood counts may remain vulnerable to bleeding and recurrent infections. These patients will require repeated, costly blood transfusions, which are, unfortunately, only a short-term solution.
Therefore, we believe that there is a need for long-lasting treatment that has the potential to support generation of all three blood lines, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, thereby alleviating the dependency on blood transfusions and medications. Current standard of care does not address all three blood lines at once. Rather, patients suffering from sub-optimal bone marrow recovery may need to receive multiple treatments to address each deficiency.
Our PLX cells are derived from placentas that have been donated by women after birth. The PLX cells release a range of therapeutic proteins that trigger the body’s regenerative mechanism in response to severe medical conditions. PLX-R18 is the first product candidate manufactured using Pluri’s proprietary serum-free media in a 3-D bioreactor system, displaying our unique capability to manufacture a high quantity of cells with batch-to-batch consistency. Created from cells that originated from the fetus side of the placenta, PLX-R18 is unique in its potential to support renewal and differentiation of hematopoietic cells.
Our hematology program tested the use of PLX-R18 in HCT recipients. We were pleased to find that the PLX-R18 showed promising results. The study enrolled 21 patients in the U.S. and Israel, who were at least three months after the HCT procedure (median: 236 days) and had low blood counts in at least one blood cell lineage. They were assigned to one of three treatment arms: 1 million cells/kg, 2 million cells/kg, or 4 million cells/kg. Each patient received two treatments of the assigned dose.
The results, which included data from 14 of the 21 patients*, demonstrated that PLX-R18 had the potential to stimulate the implanted hematopoietic cells to realize their therapeutic potential and generate improved blood counts over the long term in all three blood cell lines at once – a meaningful advantage over other existing and proposed treatments. Overall, PLX-R18 was well tolerated and showed significant improvements from baseline counts in all cohorts for hemoglobin and platelet counts. Interestingly, patients in the high-dose category exhibited statistically significant improvements in all three blood cell lines.
Pluri’s Chief Medical Officer, Nitsan Halevy, believes that these results are an important step for the science of blood, or hematology. PLX-R18’s proposed hematopoietic mechanism of action, now demonstrated for the first time in humans in our Phase I HCT study, potentially opens up new therapeutic options in the fields of hematology. Building on these encouraging initial results, Pluri is refining its clinical development plans for PLX-R18 to address areas of unmet medical need.
* Data from the six-month follow-up is available for 14 of the 21 treated patients: one patient was terminated early, three patients missed the 6-month visit and three died prior to the 6-month visit (two fatal events in the 2 million cell dose, and one fatal event in the 4 million cell dose). All fatal events in the study were considered unrelated to the study treatment. Mortality rates were in line with publicly available information (references: Gao et al 2020, Halahleh et al 2021, Tang et al 2018, Sun et al. 2015, Zhao et al 2019) | <urn:uuid:6f626339-1078-435d-aac7-9d50629ce919> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://pluri-biotech.com/blog/positive-topline-phase-i-results-hematology-program/ | 2024-04-21T21:55:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.940315 | 943 |

At some point at the party I realize I'm not enjoying myself. I get my laptop and sit in the corner next to Arsh. I read a little bit about Firestore.
Sunny is drunk. Arsh is drunk and trying deviously to get away and drink more. They aren't even aware of their own drunkness or behavior. Allen's drunk. David is asleep. Others -- Katherine, Vivien, Hanah -- hang around. Are they enjoying themselves? Enjoying tugging the strings of consciousness and responsibility until they start to unravel, until just before they break?
The polaroids we take are cute. It's nice to be around people. Without getting into what's meaningful and what's not, though, the simple fact is that I don't feel good. Sunny tells me she knows I'm sad deep down. Arsh says he doesn't have life in him in Spanish, that he wants to die. After leaving to a round of goodbyes, I lie on my bed and feel melancholy painfully grip me -- a familiar but ever-unidentifiable feeling. I wonder what structures are at play. I wonder if I'm neurodivergent. I wonder if I'm living in a white world that will permanently put me on edge. I wonder if anyone really benefits from capitalism.
But I rebuke myself when I come to the thought that life is hard. "I'm grateful and humble," I repeat to myself as an affirmation, but I also act as such: I breathe in and am grateful that I can do so. I sit up and am grateful that I think clearly and energetically. I look at the room around me and am grateful that I have everything I've ever wanted in so many ways.
Yet gratitude feels like a denial of reality. It's throwing empty truisms at the undeniable fullness of the truth. I should read more philosophy, I think: existentialism, Stoicism, Marxism. I don't have the worldviews of my parents to support me like some others seem to. It seems absurd and unfair that I need to spend hours deciphering assigned readings just to get a semblance of understanding about my existence and the conditions underwhich I live life and pursue happiness. I get to make this intellectual grind more than I have to, for sure. But it doesn't seem unreasonable to find cruelty in this nevertheless.
There are things I enjoy: making software. Making music. Physical intimacy. Maybe life is as simple as just pursuing these. I can't conceptualize a happy life outside of this "hedonistic treadmill", as some might accuse it to be: larger purposes seem like only transitional forces, and overindexing them crushes the joy that does exist in life. Running on a treadmill could prepare you for a marathon, but there's no reason to overglamorize the marathon and dismiss all else: all should be driven by a love for running in the first place.
Next week is midterm week. Next month is the second month after my gap year. I'm looking forward to the future, suddenly: I'm looking forward to life. It's like I've forgotten everything that just burdened me, but in a way unlike the gratitude practices from before. I'm not looking at the room around me, I'm looking only at the road ahead, engrossed in the steps my feet will take to propel me over it. It feels narrow-minded, but a marathon can only be run a mile, quarter mile, or stride length at a time. To love the pavement, the trail, the hill up or down in front of you, is more than enough.

Fruit from residential gardens or commercial grow operations.
All samples require a Plant Diagnostic Request Form
- Carefully examine your plants to accurately assess symptoms and distribution. Complete the Plant Diagnostic Request Form in entirety, and include it with the sample in a separate zip-seal bag.
- Collect a representative symptomatic sample that fully describes the observed problem. The entire plant may be needed for the most accurate diagnosis. This is especially important with vascular and root rot pathogens. It is important to look at roots and lower stem to have whole picture of the problem. Digging out the plant helps to preserve the integrity of the root system.
- Submit a generous amount of plant material. If the plants are small (i.e. seedlings), send several plants. Samples from different plant species should be bagged separately and labeled.
- A mixture of living tissue and necrotic tissue is needed to isolate the pathogen and diagnose the disease. Do not send dried or dead plants
- Leaf or Stem Tissue Samples: place the sample in a zip-seal bag as soon as it is collected. Do not use paper bags.
- Fruit Samples: Separate fruit (i.e. berries, apples, peaches) samples from roots and top growth material. Fruit with tender skin (strawberries, blueberries, currants, raspberries, peaches etc.) should be placed in a paper bag as soon as it is collected. Fruit with a tough skin (grapes, apples, plums, etc.) can be placed in zip-seal bags.
- Entire Plant/Tree Samples: For entire plant samples, bag (plastic) the roots and seal at the soil line with a twist tie or a rubberband. Do not cut the root ball off the above-ground plant parts. Cover the top plant growth with a second plastic bag.
- Place the sample/samples in a crush-proof box and mail it using next-day or two-day shipping option or deliver the sample in-person to minimize damage from cold or heat and allow the sample to arrive fresh.
- Write “Live plant Sample” on the outside of the box

Addressing preoperative anaemia: Ten top tips, practical advice and the evidence base
By Anne-Marie Bougeard on behalf of the RCoA Perioperative Medicine Programme
View the accompanying infographic here.
View this guidance in pdf format.
One of the key priorities for PQIP in the coming year is the identification and management of perioperative anaemia. In the Annual Report we have identified current practice and signposted to current guidelines on the management of perioperative anaemia. However, we appreciate that this requires significant changes to practice and is not without controversy. Anaemia is a key focus of the Perioperative Medicine Programme and we recently ran a workshop at the RCoA for Local Leads in Perioperative Medicine and their colleagues to help with setting up an anaemia service. Read on to find out the key themes of the workshop together with further reading and resources.
1. Anaemia is associated with adverse perioperative outcomes and is potentially modifiable
There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that perioperative anaemia is independently associated with adverse outcomes such as increased length of stay, complications and mortality (1). Although level 1 evidence for treatment of anaemia in this context is lacking, it is recommended by international consensus (2) that we should treat anaemia in patients at risk of major blood loss (>500ml) in the perioperative period. It is recommended that institutions should have a pathway to investigate the cause of anaemia in their patients and a clear stepwise approach to intervention based on the clinical picture and the time available before surgery.
2. Why treat preoperatively?
One of the main reasons for treating ‘mild’ anaemia is to avoid or minimise perioperative blood transfusion. The reasons for this are multiple: allogenic blood transfusion carries a risk of transfusion reaction ranging from mild to severe; there are subtle associations with adverse cardiovascular events (3); there is an association between blood transfusion and recurrence rates in cancer (4); there is a cost implication for transfusion, and blood is a finite resource. Although in general we practice a restrictive transfusion policy, in a mildly anaemic patient in whom it may be ‘safe’ to go ahead with surgery, a given volume of blood loss takes them closer to the transfusion and their likelihood of needing blood transfusion greater. There is a significant difference in transfusion rates even between a preoperative Hb <120 and 120-130g/l5. In an audit of cardiac patients from 2010-2016, anaemia was associated with an increased length of stay of 2 days, an increased likelihood of massive transfusion (17.4% vs 6.9%), and an increased in-hospital mortality (5.6% vs 2.3%). Hb concentrations of less than 110g/l were associated with a significant increase in mortality risk.
The prevalence of anaemia is significant in the cohort of patients we are recruiting to PQIP: almost 2000 patients (35%) of PQIP patients undergoing elective (rather than expedited) surgery were anaemic.
Another consideration is the current WHO definitions of anaemia. These state <130g/l for men and <120g/l for women. However, in the perioperative setting this is rather illogical. At surgery women are just as likely to bleed as men, and have a smaller blood volume, therefore will become more anaemic for a given volume of blood loss. Hence the new recommendations are that we target the same value for males and females. Indeed, there is some evidence that women with preoperative anaemia have worse outcomes (3).
The published evidence is also supported by NICE guidance (8,9) and guidance from the British committee for standards in haematology (10), all of which recommend treating preoperative anaemia.
So, how do we do it? Our experts gave the following advice, which is also summarised in the attached infographic:
3. Define your local problem
To build a case for introducing a new service you will be expected to define the problem in your own institution. Audit your incidence of preoperative anaemia, your rates of intervention for preoperative anaemia, your rates of transfusion and length of stay, readmission rates and unplanned critical care admissions. If possible collect data on other components of a good patient blood management programme, e.g. use of tranexamic acid where appropriate, use of cell salvage, management of anticoagulation.
4. Talk to primary care
It is impossible to institute an anaemia pathway without liaison with primary care. It is hugely important to explain the rationale for treating mild anaemia, as many of the patients we will be asking the general practitioners to treat would not normally be treated. Ideally, ask for referral with a recent haemoglobin to identify patients who need intervention as early as possible.
5. Identify your stakeholders
This involves a multidisciplinary approach. Haematologists are key here, and should help you in developing a pathway which will suit your local needs. The laboratory can be really helpful in finding ways of running haemiatinics in patients identified as anaemic on pre-operative bloods without calling patients for further tests. Find out how your perioperative service is funded and how you can engage with your local commissioners to fund a new service. Identify where in your hospital intravenous iron is already being administered, what is on your formulary and what the approved indications are, as you may find it far easier than expected to use existing services. Bear in mind that gastroenterology and nephrology use intravenous iron frequently and will have a wealth of experience to help you. Your transfusion nurse specialist may be an invaluable resource, and you will need to educate your preassessment team on the rationale for the pathway and how to identify and investigate patients.
6. Develop a pathway which works for your hospital
This will need to account for what surgery is being performed and what the average interval is between listing for surgery and admission. The consensus guidelines provide a very useful pathway for approaching perioperative anaemia taking into account diagnosis, treatment in the case of a long interval to surgery, treatment of patients who do not respond to oral iron and those who do not tolerate oral iron, and those in whom there is less than six weeks prior to surgery. Liaise with colleagues in your region, as it is likely someone will have developed a pathway which can be adapted. An example of this is the North West Pre-operative Anaemia Project.
7. Writing a business case
This can seem daunting, however can be achieved by collecting your data as described above, by looking at tariffs and HRG codes for commissioned services, identifying the costs of additional nursing and clerical time, blood tests and the costs of drug treatment. This should be balanced against the cost of transfusion and the cost of excess length of stay. It is worth pointing out that there are tangible clinical benefits which do not translate into length of stay or transfusion costs. Enlist the help of your pharmacists and the pharmaceutical companies, some of which have model business cases into which you can enter your data. Ensure you are clear what type of service you are running, namely, a perioperative anaemia pathway rather than an anaemia clinic which will likely exist elsewhere in the hospital.
8. Overcoming barriers
- Think about how to provide support to GPs to diagnose and manage iron deficiency in community by working with your medical specialty colleagues.
- Learn from others in and outside your organisation on how is best to go ahead: business planning versus stealth implementation.
- Work across boundaries - work out how to align with your local STP or ICS plans. It is a challenge to prove the investment is worthwhile so consider emphasising the effects on the system as a whole: tariffs, readmission rates, reduced use of GP services downstream, holistic patient care.
9. Decide on your criteria for postponement
Clearly this will vary on a case by case basis and will be dictated by clinical priorities. Nevertheless, it is a discussion which must be had with the surgical and anaesthetic teams and involve the patient in a shared decision on the merits of proceeding with surgery when anaemic.
Clearly there are situations in which clinical urgency trumps intervention on anaemia, however it is a reasonable aspiration that trusts should have a mechanism for identifying anaemia and treating it where possible in those patients at high risk of blood loss >500ml. In patients who have surgery, careful consideration should be given to other components of a patient blood management programme to mitigate the effects of blood loss.
We are planning to put resources on the Perioperative Medicine page of the RCoA website, however the key references to support a business case are listed below. If you need support or to be put in touch with a colleague who has introduced an anaemia pathway please get in touch: [email protected]

Flower hair combs for weddings and beyond.
Mounting handmade flowers onto a hair comb is yet another great way of creating a wearable floral piece and showcasing the flowers you make. Unlike a headband, hair combs are more versatile, as their position in a hairdo can be easily changed depending on a hairstyle or personal preferences of the wearer.
For a hair comb you can choose a selection of small flowers, silk or leather (see the photo with blue
hydrangea flower hair comb). Other small flowers may
Instead of a bunch of small flowers you can opt for several medium sized flowers like these delicate silk wild roses.
Usually I attach my flowers by wrapping the wires to a metallic comb with a piece of thin silk. This process is described in detail in my
Silk Wild Rose Tutorial.
Hair combs do vary in size. The longer the hair comb the more flowers you can fit onto it.
Silk flower hair combs are popular with brides and last better than fresh flowers during the big day.
As fabrics are hand dyed you will have no problem offering a silk hair comb in the right colour to match the wedding colour scheme or the bridal outfit.
or rayon organza, rayon georgette or light to medium weight silk satin etc) to keep the weight of your flower comb low.
I would recommend opting for a flower with a flat underside too, as it will sit better against the hair.
Depending on the idea you or your customer have in mind, delicate lace and some metallic fabrics can also be incorporated into a flower hair comb design.
The pink rose featured in the hair comb in the photo can be made during one of my
online video workshops I am planning to offer in the New Year.
Large roses or other flowers (poppy, dahlia, sunflower etc) can be turned into evening/ special occasion accent pieces if you make them in metallic or fantasy colours (think black or navy etc).
Apart from small flowers and large roses you can also use
fabric butterflies to decorate hair combs.
More information on how to hand dye and shape delicate organza into a lightweight yet blousy rose hair comb can also be found in my
Advanced Silk Rose Video Course.
Depending on the style, occasion and outfit there are different options for possible flower hair combs you can consider. I hope you will add this type of flower finish to your list of ideas for the next season. | <urn:uuid:78a6ee3b-9248-4711-8a56-2bc8e9b94dc8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://presentperfectcreations.com/category/bridal-flowers-uk/ | 2024-04-21T20:16:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.932467 | 509 |
People for People has now received over 2300 inbound requests offering and requesting help. Here’s what has happened last week to further support refugees leaving Russia and Ukraine:
Our partner bunq now allows refugees to onboard for bank accounts not only with passports, but with Ukrainian ID cards as well. Now more than 1.000 Ukrainians have been able to get access to free accounts to safely hold and spend euros.
People for People has been able to provide laptops to a local Ukrainian foundation that supports homeschooling for Ukrainian children. Now more children can continue their education in safety.
The first shipment of medical supplies is on its way to Ukraine. The shipment will go to support the National Military Medical Clinical Center in Kiev.
A local volunteer of People for People is currently on the ground at Krakow station, helping families to get to safety by immigrating to The Netherlands. The foundation supports him in offering help to organize transportation, housing and visa registration so the families can fully transition to a new country.
Are you interested in further helping People For People in their mission to provide necessities to those affected by the Russia-Ukraine war? They are still looking for more volunteers to join their quickly growing team. They now have the following roles available to help make a difference:
You can find out more about the roles and apply directly here.
About People for People
People for People Foundation is a growing entrepreneurial movement joining forces to get as many people affected by the Ukrainian war to safety as possible.

We enable organizations such as Movement On The Ground, Takecarebnb, OpenEmbassy, FastLaneUkraine, On My Way UA, Netherlands for Ukraine and Lifeline Ukraine to increase their impact.
To maximize the positive impact of our initiative, foundation 'Stichting People for People' was founded by Joris Beckers (Picnic), Robert Vis (Messagebird) and Ali Niknam (bunq). Pieter Jan Krevel and Jesse van der Meulen (Aimforthemoon) have been appointed as co-directors of the foundation. A team of 50+ volunteers have joined the organization so far to support our mission.
After already receiving thousands of requests for help, we continuously identify the most urgent issues to help people and foundations in Ukraine, neighboring countries and those who arrive in the Netherlands. | <urn:uuid:fd1877df-a762-43c0-8953-d6ec079d66e9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://press.peopleforpeople.info/212800-weekly-recap-of-march-28-2022 | 2024-04-21T21:28:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.968593 | 487 |
Published August 31
We spend a third of our lives sleeping, making our mattresses a sanctuary of comfort and rest. However, many people fail to realise that mattresses are also a breeding ground for allergens, dust mites, bacteria, and even bed bugs. Neglecting regular mattress cleaning can lead to many problems affecting your health and overall well-being. In this article, we’ll explore the importance of mattress cleaning and why opting for professional mattress cleaning services is the best choice for a healthy bed mattress.
Mattresses are prone to accumulating dust, dead skin cells, sweat, and allergens over time. This buildup affects the quality of your sleep and poses health risks. Allergens like dust mites can trigger allergies and respiratory problems, while bacteria can lead to skin infections and unpleasant odours. Regular mattress cleaning is important to maintaining a healthy sleep environment and ensuring well-being.
While DIY mattress cleaning methods exist, they often fall short of providing a deep and thorough clean. Basic vacuuming and spot cleaning can only do so much to remove embedded dirt and allergens. Professional mattress cleaning, on the other hand, utilises advanced techniques like steam cleaning. This method involves using high-temperature steam to kill bacteria, dust mites, and bed bugs, leaving your mattress fresh and sanitised.
A Healthier Bed and Home
Cleaning your mattress isn’t just about maintaining a comfortable sleep surface—it’s about safeguarding your health. Dust mites, for instance, can cause allergies and exacerbate asthma symptoms. By opting for professional mattress cleaning services to steam clean your mattress, you can ensure the removal of these harmful microorganisms, providing you with a healthier place to rest. A clean bed contributes to better indoor air quality. It reduces the risk of health issues associated with poor sleep environments.
Eliminating Bed Bugs and Other Pests

As we approach Spring 2024, e-commerce businesses are presented with a unique opportunity to refresh their online stores and optimise for the season’s shopping surge. Spring brings a sense of renewal and change, influencing consumer behaviour and shopping patterns. From seasonal promotions to website revamps, there are several strategies e-commerce sites can employ to attract customers, enhance user experience, and boost sales during this vibrant season. Here’s how to optimise your e-commerce platform for Spring 2024.
Refresh Your Website’s Design with Spring Themes
Incorporate spring-inspired themes, colours, and imagery into your website’s design to evoke the season’s essence. A fresh and vibrant look can invigorate your site, making it more inviting and engaging for shoppers. Consider updating your homepage banner, product images, and layout to reflect spring themes, such as renewal, growth, and vitality. This visual refresh can create a welcoming atmosphere that encourages visitors to explore your offerings.
Optimise for Mobile Shopping
With the increasing prevalence of mobile shopping, ensuring your e-commerce site is fully optimised for mobile devices is crucial. This means fast loading times, easy navigation, and mobile-friendly checkout processes. A seamless mobile shopping experience is essential for capturing the attention of consumers who prefer to shop on-the-go, especially during the spring season when people are more likely to be outdoors and away from their desktops.
Launch Seasonal Promotions and Sales
Spring is an excellent time to launch new promotions and sales. Consider offering special discounts on seasonal products, limited-time offers, or exclusive deals for your email subscribers and social media followers. These promotions can create urgency and encourage shoppers to make purchases. Highlighting these offers on your homepage and through targeted marketing campaigns can drive traffic and increase conversion rates.
Update Your Product Range
Refresh your product range to include spring-related items. Depending on your industry, this could mean introducing new arrivals perfect for the warmer weather, outdoor activities, or spring cleaning. Ensure that your product descriptions are up-to-date and highlight the benefits and features relevant to the season. Curating a seasonal collection or lookbook can also inspire shoppers and guide them toward making a purchase.
Enhance Site Navigation and Search Functionality
As you add new products and categories for the spring season, ensure that your site’s navigation is intuitive and user-friendly. A well-organised menu, clear product categories, and effective search functionality can help shoppers find exactly what they’re looking for, improving the overall user experience. Consider implementing filters for sizes, colours, and price ranges to streamline the shopping process further.
Leverage Social Proof and Reviews
Social proof, such as customer reviews and user-generated content, can significantly influence purchasing decisions. Encourage customers to leave reviews for products they’ve purchased and showcase these testimonials prominently on your site. Featuring photos and videos from satisfied customers can also add authenticity and trustworthiness to your brand, making new visitors more comfortable making a purchase.
Implement Sustainable Practices
Sustainability is increasingly important to consumers. Highlight any eco-friendly products or sustainable practices your e-commerce business follows, such as biodegradable packaging, carbon-neutral shipping, or partnerships with environmental organisations. Sharing these initiatives can resonate with environmentally conscious shoppers and differentiate your brand in a crowded market.
Optimising your e-commerce site for Spring 2024 involves a combination of aesthetic updates, technical improvements, and strategic promotions. By refreshing your online store, enhancing the shopping experience, and aligning your offerings and sales with consumer desires for renewal and change, you can capitalise on the season’s potential. These optimizations not only serve to boost sales during the spring but also strengthen your brand’s position and loyalty among customers, paving the way for sustained growth throughout the year. | <urn:uuid:842beb33-7ba1-449e-86dc-412c7c5b5018> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://primamarca.com/amazing-e-commerce-optimization-techniques-for-spring-2024-refresh-your-online-store-for-the-season/ | 2024-04-21T20:26:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.91709 | 794 |

RBS Group implements LGPD project with PrivacyTools.
Grupo RBS initiative seeks to adapt the business to the General Data Protection Law, already in force in Brazil, to protect and respect privacy.
With the entry into force of the LGPD (General Data Protection Law) in September 2020, all companies began to prioritize adaptation projects to protect the privacy and data protection of customers, users and consumers.
Whoever didn't leave for the last hour got ahead. Many organizations have been working in this direction for a long time and today they have the most advanced privacy protection mechanisms for readers, subscribers and other individuals such as employees and partners. One of them is Grupo RBS.
The concern with users' privacy has always been part of the company's governance, systems planning and processes activities. However, it was from 2016, with the popularization of the GDPR (European Data Protection Regulation), that projects with a central focus on data protection began to stand out.
The adjustment journey is a constant work, since rooting concerns about privacy and data protection is a cultural work. Several processes are still being adapted while others are more advanced.
The data belongs to the readers
For Péricles Cenço, IT director at Grupo RBS, “An LGPD project is a cultural change that involves rethinking processes and systems. For RBS, the majority of the transmitted data belongs to the readers and it is our duty as temporary custodians of the data to protect it with the utmost rigor and control”.
The PrivacyTools platform supports the success of the Group's LGPD adaptation project, acting on several fronts such as: cookie management, control of privacy policies, management of consent and privacy preferences, data discovery, mapping and data flow and integrations to automate the service flows to the rights of the holders.
According to Wilen Manteli, DPO of Grupo RBS, “The LGPD has imposed changes in the systems and processes that handle personal data, establishing the privacy of customers and other stakeholders as a priority to be addressed. It is therefore necessary to ensure compliance with the rights of the holders of personal data, as well as all other requirements of the new legislation. To comply with these requirements, we sought a platform that would allow us to do this in an integrated manner with our systems and processes, thus adopting best privacy by design practices.”.
A Privacy Program
A family-controlled company, Grupo RBS recognizes its relevance from an early age and develops its corporate governance, following the principles of transparency and guided by best practices.
The creation of a privacy program entailed the definition of a committee and had the legal and adequacy consultancy of Baptista Luz Advogados. The office was hired in 2019 to carry out a complete diagnosis of Grupo RBS to identify any existing gaps in order to adapt them to the General Data Protection Law. Afterwards, he assisted in the development of the group's privacy governance structure, adjustments to internal processes, updating of legal instruments, training of the team, due diligence of suppliers and support in the adoption of technologies necessary for the correct management of privacy program policies.
RBS's governance is structured based on the harmonious interaction between the three circles: property, family and company. In recognition, the media group received the awards from the 2006 Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance – Unlisted Company and The Family Business Management Excellence Award (August 2007) from the Owner Management Business Institute.
PrivacyTools is a PrivacyTech, that is, a startup in the field of privacy, accelerated by Obr.global and is one of the pioneers in Brazil in offering solutions for LGPD.
The company aims to transform the way companies protect and manage the privacy of personal data and has 150+ companies such as Rede D'or, Banco RCI, Pague Menos, São João Pharmacies, Bom Jesus Group, University of Fortaleza, Synnex Corporation, among others.
For press vehicles, PrivacyTools solutions help maintain the privacy of those who browse online articles, by managing cookies that are authorized by readers, writing Privacy Policies and mapping the data about users that are collected and used to recognize and minimize the risk of leakage or misuse of information. | <urn:uuid:8c8b503c-1478-471b-8d31-e86c05dea6a9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://privacytools.com.br/en/casos-de-sucesso/case-rbs/ | 2024-04-21T19:46:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.941656 | 868 |

A stem cell transplant (also known as a bone marrow transplant) lets doctors give higher doses of chemotherapy, sometimes along with radiation therapy.
The doses of chemotherapy drugs are normally limited by the side effects these drugs can cause. Higher doses can’t be used, even if they might kill more cancer cells, because they would severely damage the bone marrow, where new blood cells are made.
But with a stem cell transplant, doctors can give high doses of chemo because the patient receives a transplant of blood-forming stem cells to restore the bone marrow afterwards.
Stem cell transplants are sometimes used to treat lymphoma patients who are in remission or who have a relapse during or after treatment. Although only a small number of people with lymphoma are treated with this therapy, this number is growing.
There are 2 main types of stem cell transplants (SCTs) based on where the stem cells come from.
Autologous SCTs are used more often than allogeneic SCTs to treat lymphoma. Still, using the patient’s own cells may not be an option if the lymphoma has spread to the bone marrow or blood. If that happens, it may be hard to get a stem cell sample that is free of lymphoma cells.
Allogeneic transplants are used less often for lymphoma because they can have severe side effects that make them hard to tolerate, especially for patients who are older or who have other medical problems. It can also be hard to find a matched donor.
A stem cell transplant is a complex treatment that can cause life-threatening side effects. If the doctors think a person might benefit from a transplant, it should be done at a cancer center where the staff has experience with the procedure and with managing the recovery phase.
Our team is made up of doctors and oncology certified nurses with deep knowledge of cancer care as well as journalists, editors, and translators with extensive experience in medical writing.
