The Manager highlighted the importance of the three points his side picked up vs Astana
Villarreal Manager, Fran Escribá, was happy with the win his side achieved against Astana, in what was the Yellow SUbmarine’s debut in the 2017/18 UEFA Europa League competition: “I’m happy with the team’s effort and the result. It’s never easy to win and I’m satisfied”.
The Yellows boss reflected on his team’s intensity during different phases of the match and also recognised that Astana did create danger when they regained possesion of the ball. “We finished strong and there were times I really liked how we were playing. There were also times when we made mistakes though. I’m satisfied”. Fran Escribá also touched on the return of Cheryshev to the side and the solid peroformace from his centre backs. “The return of Cheryshev is really positive. I also have to highlight the performance of our centre backs”, the Manager emphasised.
This victory takes Villarreal to the top of Group A with three points. In the other Group match, Slavia Praga beat Maccabi Tel Aviv (1-0). | <urn:uuid:2057c0df-e3a3-433c-abf0-9ee18aa6d195> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://villarrealcf.es/en/escriba-it-s-never-easy-to-win-and-i-m-satisfied/ | 2024-04-21T20:19:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.970143 | 269 |

Why interrupt your relaxation with a less than pleasing landscape? You work hard to have your lawn and outdoor space; you should have the beautiful lawn that you deserve without putting in the hard work yourself.

Every time we drive over this flyover I say the same thing. You see, I was born here, well down there actually, in my parent’s bedroom although my auntie claims I was born in the bathtub. And a bit short of a year, I took my first steps down there. Fell down a lot. I have small feet, and they were even smaller back then. I once tripped on a blade of grass sitting proud on top of a wonky paving stone, but to me it was that blade of grass that left me strewn on the ground with a bloody chin and savaged knees. For some reason, I was a slow learner; didn’t figure out ’til much later that hands were made for breaking one's fall — I usually slid across the pavement on my knees and face. As I understand it, people pay loads for a facial abrasion. I reckon they need to be falling down more; pocket the money. Anyway, this flyover — Dad built a house on this very spot. It had a big picture window that looked down on the lake, and at Christmastime we'd watch the Christmas Boat arrive with St Nicholas onboard. And when I was in first grade, the county sent my dad a letter. They requisitioned our land, and built a motorway where our house used to be. And every time we drive over this flyover I say the same thing: We’re driving over my old house. | <urn:uuid:096780d1-ca63-4f0c-a2f8-86f829afbe86> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://visualverse.org/submissions/flyover/ | 2024-04-21T22:00:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.977977 | 314 |
During 2020, nonprofits stayed true to their missions of helping others, but rapidly pivoted to the needs of local residents during COVID-19, all while adhering to COVID-19 regulations and safety requirements.
Nonprofits in Santa Barbara County repaired homes to shelter in place, provided aid to wildfire victims, held free food pantries, assisted students with remote learning, supplied personal protective equipment to the public, gave small business loans, cared for seniors and their caregivers and so much more.
The Santa Barbara Foundation, United Way of Santa Barbara County and the Hutton Parker Foundation collaborated in March to launch the COVID-19 Joint Response Effort, which provided assistance to individuals and families impacted by the coronavirus and state emergency orders as well as nonprofits actively assisting them.
As of Oct. 31, between 34 local funders, more than $18.9 million in funding had been mobilized to support communities during the pandemic. The effort provided grants to 158 nonprofits in the county and awarded 2,362 Individual Assistance and Rental Assistance grants through the COVID-19 Joint Response Effort and CARES Act to some of the most vulnerable community members.
In March, Foodbank of Santa Barbara County changed its model to serve the rapidly increasing need of local residents. Because the surges caused unemployment and food stamp offices to respond slower, many more individuals relied on food banks to put dinner on the table.
The food bank opened two new warehouses in North and South County, conducted outreach to supporters, foundations and the federal government for more money to provide food, set up more than 50 safe food distribution points, created drive-through pantries, delivered to seniors, and even constructed a text-response system to keep residents informed on food distribution.
The nonprofit managed to gain 7.6 million pounds of healthy groceries during its COVID-19 response, with volunteers packing 6,000 grocery bags per week and performing 23,000 home deliveries. According to its website, 177,000 individuals have been served, which exceeds that of any recent disaster in the county.
Resilience Institute Santa Barbara has also partnered with the food bank to hold free curbside food pantries in front of Apolistic Assembly Church weekly, serving around 300 local families since COVID-19.
Vitamin Angels, a global public health and nutrition organization reaching at-risk mothers and children in other countries, launched its Healthy Futures Initiative to raise $500,000 to address COVID-19’s effects in vulnerable communities.
The Santa Barbara nonprofit has also been working to fill gaps in health coverage among vulnerable communities, caused by disrupted health systems that leave malnourished pregnant women and children more vulnerable for disease and infection.
In September, the Turner Foundation was one nonprofit that provided a safe place for neighborhood kids to learn remotely as classes started up again.
The foundation typically provides safe, secure affordable housing to low-income individuals, families and seniors along with after-school education and enrichment programs for resident youth. When COVID-19 hit, staff and volunteers saw a need for a place for the kids with parents who are essential workers to go to do their homework and receive help when they couldn’t get it at home.
They opened two remote learning centers on the Westside, where staff members communicate with teachers and parents, monitor students to ensure they stay on task, help with assignments, answer questions, check grades and encourage them to take ownership of their responsibilities.
The Turner Foundation also provides an outdoor space for kids to safely play games and enjoy time with other kids, along with a Music and Imagination Program, a free after-school music program with private music instruction and youth jazz band rehearsals.
Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County has been providing life-saving repairs on homes during the pandemic. The organization had to temporarily close its ReStore because of COVID-19, but other than that, volunteers continue to work.
The organization highlights the importance of a safe, livable shelter, especially to quarantine in and shelter at home.
In September, wildfires added onto the hardships of COVID-19, and Goleta nonprofit Direct Relief and the California Pilots Association Disaster Area Response Team partnered to fly 23 pilots out of the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport and deliver 100,000 KN95 respirators to residents and firefighters in Oregon’s worst-hit fire zones.
They also provided wildfire kits to treat up to 750 people.
Direct Relief also stepped up to the plate in early March at the start of the pandemic, committing $2 million to supply N95 masks to Sansum Clinic, along with other cities in California, large cities in the U.S. and China.
Many other nonprofits jumped on board the mask train, including the Coastal Quilters Guild of Santa Barbara and Goleta. Already in late April, the nonprofit had sewed nearly 1,500 cloth masks to Cottage Hospital as part of the Guild Mask Making Project.
The Santa Barbara Bucket Brigade also made more than 30,000 masks as of late July, in its Most Mask Makers Challenge, which invited local volunteer seamstresses and sewists to make masks to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
A portion of the Bucket Brigade’s volunteers also used their own 3D printers at home to create face shields for first responders.
In addition, the Bucket Brigade partnered with the Friendship Center, which helps aging adults and provides a respite for their family caregivers, and figured out a way to provide food security for the adult daycare center’s 375 members and their 700-plus family caregivers.
While the Bucket Brigade delivers food to the homes of hundreds, the Friendship Center also assembled game bags full of treats, games, jigsaw puzzles, crossword puzzles and decks of cards to help them stay entertained at home and care bags with shampoos, bath and body wash, granola bars, hand sanitizer and stress balls.
Women’s Economic Ventures saw the impact of COVID-19 on small businesses, and created the Quick Response Loan program on March 18 to provide emergency financial support for Santa Barbara and Ventura County businesses. Within a month, the nonprofit had approved 50 loans totaling $392,500.
WEV has been a patron of micro-businesses by providing training, coaching and loans to more than 300 local establishment owners each year. Its loans helped local establishments such as Dioji, a doggie daycare in Goleta, and Carlyle Salon in Santa Barbara survive.
While donations decreased, interest in adoptions of animals from Santa Barbara County Shelters grew. Even local animal shelters pivoted, figuring out a way to ensure social distancing for adopters by holding meet-and-greets with dogs in yards and video chats to see pets.
While many more nonprofits, big and small, did many more incredible things for the community during the pandemic, the list truly never ends. However, those benefiting from nonprofits and their ability to rapidly respond and pivot to new ways to help are eternally grateful.

In a heart-wrenching turn of events, a somber remembrance gathering in Chicago took a tragic and violent turn on Friday evening when gunfire erupted, claiming the life of one person and leaving six others injured. The incident occurred as friends and family were gathered to pay tribute to a man who had lost his life in a fatal car crash just days earlier.
The remembrance event, intended to be a time of mourning and reflection, quickly descended into chaos as shots rang out in the South Side neighborhood. Panic and confusion engulfed the gathering as attendees sought shelter and tried to comprehend the horrifying turn of events.
Law enforcement authorities swiftly responded to the scene, cordoning off the area and launching an investigation into the shooting. Preliminary findings indicate that multiple gunmen were involved, suggesting a possible targeted attack rather than a random act of violence. The motives behind the shooting remain unclear, leaving the community grappling for answers and seeking solace amidst the tragedy.
Unfortunately, amidst the chaos, one individual lost their life, becoming yet another statistic in the grim tally of gun violence plaguing Chicago. The loss of life reverberates deeply within the community, amplifying the pain already present due to the recent car crash tragedy that had brought them together.
The six individuals who were injured in the shooting were promptly rushed to nearby hospitals for medical treatment. Their conditions vary, with some reported to be in critical condition, while others are stable. The road to recovery for these survivors will undoubtedly be long and arduous, both physically and emotionally.
As news of the shooting spread throughout the city, grief and outrage swept across Chicago. Residents and community leaders came together, condemning the senseless violence that had shattered a gathering meant for healing and remembrance. Calls for justice and an end to the rampant gun violence that continues to afflict the city resonated in the wake of this latest tragedy.
Chicago has long struggled with gun violence, grappling with high crime rates and deep-rooted socioeconomic issues. Despite ongoing efforts to curb violence and implement comprehensive reforms, such incidents remind us that much work remains to be done to ensure the safety and well-being of all residents.
In response to this tragic event, community organizations, religious leaders, and concerned citizens have united, organizing candlelight vigils, marches, and public forums to address the underlying causes of violence and to support the affected families. These initiatives aim to foster healing, promote dialogue, and enact positive change within the community.
The city's law enforcement agencies are actively investigating the shooting, urging anyone with information to come forward and assist in bringing the perpetrators to justice. Increased police presence and targeted patrols have been deployed to areas affected by the incident to help restore a sense of security and prevent further violence.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the fragile nature of peace and the urgent need to address the root causes of violence. Efforts must focus on strengthening community ties, improving access to education and job opportunities, and providing mental health support to vulnerable individuals.
As Chicago mourns the loss of a life and supports the wounded, the city stands at a crossroads, grappling with the sobering reality of violence and the determination to forge a safer future. The resilience and unity exhibited in the aftermath of this tragedy will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping the city's response to gun violence, fostering a sense of hope and healing for all its residents.
Chicago, known for its ongoing struggle with gun violence, was once again marred by tragedy as gunfire erupted during a solemn remembrance event.

EPL Best Bets
Let’s look at my EPL best bets for the weekend’s matches.
Saturday, 10:00 a.m. ET
There are several sides in the Premier League this season that are so inconsistent we still don’t quite know what to expect from them. Arguably we have two of them meeting here at the City Ground.
Despite having put together a shocking run of results that sees them winless from their last eight games, I am taking the home side on the moneyline at +138. It’s possibly not a play against any other side in the league, but the visitors haven’t won in seven, either.
What makes me like Forest here is they have goals in the team. Despite winning only two of their last seven in the league, they have scored 13 times in those games. The problem lies in defense, where they have conceded 14 across those same fixtures.
When Nuno Espírito Santo became head coach in December, he decided to change how the team played, making them much more attack-minded and playing on the front foot. He will be pleased to see the return of all the players who were at the African Cup of Nations, with his side having the most absentees during the tournament. The biggest boost will be the return of striker Taiwo Awoniyi who makes such a difference when he plays.
On the flipside, we have a West Ham team struggling to score goals. Since returning from injury, top scorer Jarrod Bowen hasn’t scored in any of his four games, and Michail Antonio has been a miss for much of the campaign.
The Hammers haven’t scored in either of their last two games and have only hit the back of the net four times in that winless run of seven. That includes two games against lower-league opposition in the FA Cup.
David Moyes saw his side hit for six at home to Arsenal last weekend, and you would expect some sort of bounce back. However, this is a huge match for the hosts, who must win and turn their dreadful City Ground form around.
They survived relegation last term based on their home form which was comfortably the best of those teams who finished in the bottom half. This season only four sides have a worse record on home soil.
It’s a leap of faith to trust them, but one I am prepared to take. On their day, with the passionate support roaring them on, they are a match for anyone, and with the goals they have in them currently, they can certainly beat this misfiring West Ham outfit.
EPL Best Bet: Nottingham Forest Money Line at +138.
Sunday, 11:30 a.m. ET
Luton have been the fairytale story of the Premier League so far, and they have been brilliant in their approach to every game. But let’s be brutal about it – they’ve only gained 5 wins and 20 points from 23 games so far.
Because most people expected them to sink without a trace and finish with a record-low points total, the perception is they are doing a lot better than they are. Yes, they have competed, but they have still lost the majority of their games, especially against the better clubs.
West Ham, Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea all won at Kenilworth Road by a single goal, as did relegation rivals Burnley, while most recent visitors, the rock-bottom Blades, came away with a 3-1 victory.
The 1-1 draw with Liverpool was a great result, but it was a game they actually should have won on the day. As was the case recently when Rob Edwards saw his side leading 4-2 at Newcastle in the second half only to have to settle for a draw.
They have been a great watch but ultimately haven’t been able to get the results. Their last match was the most disappointing one of the season—one they went into as favorites for the first time this term, only to be soundly beaten by the league’s bottom club.
Next up is Manchester United, who, for the first time this season, are looking pretty good, undefeated this year across seven games in all competitions and scoring goals. They’ve scored at least two in each fixture, including trips to Wolves and Aston Villa, the most recent of a four-game winning road run.
If this game was played at the start of the season, Manchester United would be around -250. I am amazed they are priced up at -125 and can only put it down to a public love affair with Luton.
It appears Erik ten Hag finally knows his best team and has a settled starting line-up. Harry Maguire looks back to somewhere near his best and will be key here against the Hatters direct style.
I’m sure it will be a tough game, and for the first 20 minutes, the home side will look to get at the visitors. But the Red Devils are yet to lose a first half this season so they can take the sting out of the passionate home support.
United have a striker in form, with Rasmus Højlund scoring in each of his last five league games, and I think they will show their class here to claim all three points.
EPL Best Bet: Manchester United Money Line -125
Monday, 3:00 p.m. ET
I think this will be the last match Roy Hodgson will be in charge of Crystal Palace, especially if they lose. That’s exactly the bet I am playing, and if I am right, then they are bang in relegation trouble.
This is a must-win game for Everton, with a victory lifting them out of the drop zone and only two points behind Palace. Their need to win is factored into the price here, but what isn’t is that this is not unfamiliar territory for the Toffees. They have had to scrap for their lives the last three seasons, and it has always been their home form that has gotten them out of trouble.
Goodison Park will be rocking on Monday night, which makes it a very intimidating venue. Especially for a Crystal Palace side that, on my ratings, I currently have as the worst side in the league.
Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise and Marc Guéhi are everything to this Palace side, and all three will be missing through injury. I watched them on Monday night against a Chelsea side that put in one of the worst first-half displays I have seen. The Blues didn’t have to improve too much in the second half but scored an early goal, and from that moment, Palace’s heads dropped, and there was only going to be one winner. Chelsea ended up with a 3-1 success.
The Eagles are so reliant on those three players I would pretty much back anyone against them when they are all absent. I looked at the moneyline, but the price is a little too low for me, so instead went Everton -0.75 on the Asian Handicap.
This means half the stake is on Everton -0.5 and half on Everton -1.0. So, if Everton win by a single goal, we win half our stake and get the other half refunded. We need the home side to win by two or more goals for a full win.
This is the fourth time these sides have met this season, having played each other in the FA Cup, with the Toffees unbeaten across those games. They also hold a tremendous nine-game unbeaten record at home to Palace, winning six of the last seven meetings, including all of the last three.

Description from the amazon:
In the city of Lovecraft, the Proctors rule and a great Engine turns below the streets, grinding any resistance to their order to dust. The necrovirus is blamed for Lovecraft's epidemic of madness, for the strange and eldritch creatures that roam the streets after dark, and for everything that the city leaders deem Heretical—born of the belief in magic and witchcraft. And for Aoife Grayson, her time is growing shorter by the day.
Aoife Grayson's family is unique, in the worst way—every one of them, including her mother and her elder brother Conrad, has gone mad on their 16th birthday. And now, a ward of the state, and one of the only female students at the School of Engines, she is trying to pretend that her fate can be different.

Drying UV nail polish without a UV lamp is entirely possible via several alternate methods. Air drying, although time-consuming, is a natural and cost-effective approach. Sunlight exposure can work since it also emits UV rays, but this method requires careful moderation to avoid skin damage. The market also offers UV lamp-free options designed to cure UV nail polish. An appreciation for the science behind photopolymerization, the process by which UV polish hardens, can broaden understanding of these options. Further exploration will allow discovery of more detailed strategies and safety precautions.
- Utilize alternative drying methods such as air drying or exposing the polish to natural sunlight.
- Apply the UV nail polish in thin, even layers to facilitate quicker drying.
- Opt for UV lamp-free drying options that are available in the market.
- Choose cost-effective strategies like harnessing natural elements for drying the polish.
- Avoid rushing the drying process as it can lead to smudging or chipping of the polish.
Understanding UV Nail Polish
UV nail polish, a revolutionary product in the nail care industry, is characterized by its unique ability to cure under ultraviolet light, resulting in a long-lasting, glossy finish. This innovation in nail care has transformed the fashion landscape, delivering a myriad of UV polish benefits to the modern, stylish individual who values both aesthetics and practicality.
The composition of UV polish is a blend of monomers and oligomers that react together when exposed to UV light. This process, known as photopolymerization, leads to a hardened, chip-resistant coating that can last up to two weeks. This longevity is one of the primary UV polish benefits, eliminating the need for frequent touch-ups and providing a salon-quality finish at home.
Furthermore, UV nail polish offers a diverse palette of vibrant colors and finishes, allowing for a high degree of personalization. This, coupled with its durability, makes UV polish an excellent choice for those seeking to express their individual style while maintaining a polished appearance.
Understanding the properties of UV nail polish is crucial to appreciating its unique benefits and potential applications in the world of nail care. As the industry continues to evolve, innovation remains at the forefront of product development.
Preparing Nails for UV Polish
Before applying this innovative product, proper preparation of the nails is a key step to ensure optimal adhesion and longevity of the UV polish. Nail Preparation Techniques involve a systematic process that caters to the individual needs of your nails, ensuring they are in the perfect condition to receive the UV polish.
Initially, nails must be cleaned thoroughly, removing any traces of old polish and dirt. This will ensure the new coating can adhere properly. The nails should then be shaped using a file, which not only improves the aesthetic appeal but also prevents possible chipping or breaking. Cuticles must also be pushed back and removed if necessary, to allow the polish to adhere right to the edge of the nail.
Choosing UV Polish follows the nail preparation. The choice primarily depends on your style preferences, but it is recommended to choose a well-known, reputable brand to ensure quality and durability. The color should be chosen carefully, keeping in mind the occasion, outfit, and personal style. Remember to apply the polish in thin, even layers to allow for the quickest drying time. Proper preparation and informed choices will pave the way for a flawless and long-lasting manicure.
Alternative Drying Methods Explored
While UV lamps are a popular choice for drying UV nail polish, there are alternative methods available that can be equally effective. For those seeking to break away from conventional drying methods, exploring these alternatives could provide a more accessible and innovative approach.
Air Drying Techniques, for instance, are a simple yet revolutionary tactic. Contrary to popular belief, UV nail polish can dry effectively in ambient air given sufficient time. This method requires patience, as the drying period extends considerably compared to using a UV lamp. However, it is a cost-effective strategy that does away with the need for any special equipment.
Another avant-garde method is Sunlight Exposure. UV nail polish responds to the UV radiation emitted by the sun, making this an accessible alternative for many. Exposure to natural sunlight can help speed up the drying process of UV nail polish. However, keep in mind the variability of sunlight intensity throughout the day and adjust exposure time accordingly.
These alternative methods offer a myriad of possibilities, pushing the boundaries of conventional nail care. Harnessing the power of natural elements or leveraging the ambient environment can not only dry your UV nail polish effectively but also foster a sense of creativity and innovation in your routine.
Safety Precautions to Consider
Regardless of the chosen drying method, it is crucial to consider certain safety precautions to ensure optimal nail health and prevent potential damage. One of the most significant concerns is skin protection. Given that UV nail polish often contains chemicals that can be harsh on the skin, it is recommended to apply a protective cream or oil on the skin surrounding the nails before the application of the polish. This will act as a barrier against potential irritation or damage.
Ventilation Importance cannot be overstated in this process. The use of UV nail polish often involves the release of fumes, especially during the drying process. These fumes can be harmful if inhaled in large quantities. Therefore, always ensure that the space you're using for your manicure is well-ventilated. Open windows or use a fan if necessary to ensure a consistent flow of fresh air.
Moreover, never rush the drying process as this can lead to smudges or chips and can potentially damage the nail bed. Always allow ample time for the polish to dry properly, regardless of the method used. Remember, in the pursuit of beauty, safety should always come first.
Maintaining Your UV Polish Manicure
Once your UV polish manicure is perfectly dried and set, maintaining its luster and longevity becomes the next crucial step. A well-preserved manicure can serve as a testament to your personal style and grooming habits. Here are some manicure aftercare essentials that can help prolong the life of your UV polish.
- Regularly Moisturize: Keep your hands and nails hydrated by applying a good quality hand cream or cuticle oil daily. This not only maintains the health of your nails but also enhances the shine and appearance of your polish.
- Wear Gloves: When engaging in household chores, particularly those involving water or harsh chemicals, always wear gloves. This helps to protect your manicure from potential damage.
- Avoid Using Nails as Tools: This includes refraining from opening cans or peeling labels with your nails. Such actions can chip your polish and reduce its longevity.

A Sound Walk podcast conversation between artist Volkhardt Müller and Emma Welton, in three movements of approx 30 minutes each.
Many of Emma’s Exeter Sound Walks have brought her to the city’s limits which for various reasons we can’t or don’t transgress. Volkhardt is an Exeter based multidisciplinary artist with a professional interest in landscape, how people shape it and how it shapes people. They walked the City Edge, one evening in May. Commissioned by Art Work Exeter for Art Week Exeter 2022.
Do you tune into the sounds of your environment when you’re out and about? They are neverending music composed, both deliberately and accidentally, by humans and more than humans together.
Emma Welton is a violinist, composer and sound artist living in Exeter, a small city in South West England. She has mapped Sound Walks in her neighbourhood over the course of a year, mostly alone, but sometimes with other listeners. Many of these walks have brought her to the city’s limits which for various reasons we can’t or don’t transgress. She invited artist Volkhardt Müller to walk the City Edge with her, one evening in May.
Volkhardt is an Exeter based multidisciplinary artist with a professional interest in landscape, how people shape it and how it shapes people. He grew up in Swabian Jura in Southern Germany, and has lived in Exeter with his family for twenty years.
He is a member of artist collective Bind Ditch, and an experienced socially engaged practitioner. Volkhardt has produced a rich and multi-award-winning body of work in response to the city of Exeter. He is also a craftsman and a translator of popular science books.
Over these three podcasts Volkhardt and Emma walk from the bottom of the Exe valley to the top of a hill, listening all the while. You can think of the podcasts as three movements of a symphony taking place at the end of a day, whose music moves not only through time, but also space.
They recorded their conversation and the sounds around them with binaural microphones so if you listen through headphones you hear the sounds all around you.
The work is also available on Devonstream Radio, on fixed and unpredictable rotation. | <urn:uuid:84b2ab7e-611d-4c92-8956-64a6056cf5b5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://walklistencreate.org/walkingpiece/an-evening-symphony-with-barbed-wire/ | 2024-04-21T22:04:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.9657 | 540 |
Charlene Latham, 31, of Newark and an unnamed 32-year-old man appeared before Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on November 23rd this year.
Latham is accused of attempting to drown her 10-year-old Belgian Shepherd Bella by tying a rock to the dog’s lead and throwing her into the river.
Latham pleaded guilty to the charge and will re-appear in court in March along with the man in his 30s who denies any involvement.
Bella was rescued only after being spotted by a passer-by. The dog was seen struggling for breath in the freezing cold river Trent on the morning of January 6th this year.
The rescuer managed to wade into the water and carry the dog onto dry ground. Attached to its collar was a bin bag which contained a large boulder.
Police officers rushed Bella to a nearby vet’s practice.
Chief Superintendent Rob Griffin, of Nottinghamshire Police, told The Metro, “This was a highly emotive incident that was understandably very shocking to the public.
“Thankfully Bella is reported to be doing well and is in very good hands.
“Animal cruelty is totally unacceptable and we will always support our colleagues in the RSPCA in whatever we can in their investigations.”
The police force will often willingly assist charities in the rescue and rehoming of animals.
If found guilty Latham could face up to five years in prison under new guidelines within this year’s Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Bill.

The tapestry is now at forty centimeters, and the lizard is slowly crawling his way around the breast beam. I treat every ten centimeters as a milestone. It’s a good time to examine the work and make additional butterflies. I see that I need forty-four new butterflies to make it through the next ten centimeters! No two butterflies are identical. I vary the combination of yarns for each color set. These subtle color and textural variations add interest and depth to the piece.
Me. It’s all about me. That’s exactly what the tempter wants me to think. Everything should revolve around me. Wait a minute. There’s a tapestry being woven that is much bigger than me. I may be a single wool butterfly. I’m unique. And my colors and textures contribute to the tapestry in important ways. But I mustn’t forget the Grand Weaver. He carefully and deliberately wound these strands of yarn over his loving fingers to create the color he wanted to see in his tapestry. It’s not about me. It’s about the One who holds me in his hands.
May your unique colors contribute to the tapestry. | <urn:uuid:8f6e74ef-83dd-4df2-b1a9-6f7792b88e95> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://warpedforgood.com/tag/unique/ | 2024-04-21T21:07:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.953951 | 255 |
It is called by many names: paz, shalom, pax, salaam, shanty, eirene, phyongh/wa. In English, we call it “peace”. Whatever the name people give to it, it is that same priceless, inestimable treasure for which all hearts so desperately long. More than we want any thing, any experience, any possession, or pleasure, we yearn for the tranquility, the serenity, the sense of well-being that is peace.
There is something about the Season of Advent that stirs our longings for peace. The lights, decorations, carols, and memories, make us want to know more about the peace that Jesus, the Prince of Peace, brings.
We are fortunate that the Bible is rich in its exposition of peace and in how people can experience peace in daily life. The Bible actually speaks of two dimensions of peace that can be ours through the Prince of Peace: there is peace with God, and the peace of God.
Advent is a time when we celebrate God entering into time and space, to clothe himself in our humanity, to take up our cause, so that we might have peace with God. But more than bringing us peace with God, the Prince of Peace also brings us his very own peace, the peace of God.
On the night before Jesus gave his life, he promised his own peace to all who would believe in him: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid” (John 14:27). Jesus is the Prince of Peace who provides peace with God and the peace of God.
Several years ago I heard a story that has helped me to better understand the Prince of Peace and the peace he affords. I learned this story as I had the privilege to host the missionary Don Richardson. Don had written a book that had been made into a movie, titled, “The Peace Child.”
It was a compelling story Don told of how in 1961, he and his wife, and seven month old baby, had gone to minister to the Sawi people in what was then Dutch New Guinea. The Sawi had been cannibals and headhunters who lived in isolation from the outside world, and were ravaged by dysentery, malaria, hepatitis, and tribal warfare.
Don and his wife worked hard to communicate to the Sawi the love of Jesus. Don learned to speak fluently the difficult, yet unwritten language of Sawi, but it seemed as though their cultural differences were insurmountable.
But most disturbing was when Don told them the story about Jesus’ death they thought Judas was the hero and Jesus the dupe to be laughed at. In a culture that valued treachery and cruelty they cheered Judas for setting up Jesus for the kill. All the while Don was trying to tell them about Jesus’ love the warfare among the Sawi villages threatened their very existence. But it was in that tragic situation that Don happened upon a way to most effectively communicate the truth Good News of Jesus Christ.
As the Sawi tried to somehow bring the fighting and killing to an end, Don watched one day as people from different villages come together for a Sawi peace summit. Don saw fathers take their young sons and hand them over to the enemy. With the handing over of their sons to the enemy the fighting was stopped, and peace was secured. The Sawi called the child handed over to the enemy to win peace, the “Peace Child.”
Don Richardson saw in the handing over of the Peace Child the truth of God’s own Peace Child, Jesus Christ. As Don then told the Sawi about God giving his only begotten Son as the Peace Child to secure peace, many of the Sawi believed in Jesus. Eventually the New Testament was translated into the Sawi language and today there is a thriving Sawi Church among people who had been headhunters and cannibals.
The Apostle Paul had once been at war with God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but came to believe and rejoice in God’s Peace Child. Paul wrote to the Roman Christians about the peace that Jesus Christ brings: “Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). During this Season of Advent and Christmas we too rejoice and celebrate the peace that Jesus Christ brings. This booklet of daily devotions has been prepared with a prayer for God’s peace to you in this season and the coming year. May you experience the peace of which the angels sang: “Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth!” | <urn:uuid:79702934-9674-4809-85f6-d8c1fdbfa5e9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://waterfromrock.org/2010/11/28/the-coming-of-peace/ | 2024-04-21T21:57:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.979692 | 1,004 |

I take a great risk writing this marketing tip – after all, almost my entire marketing philosophy is based on the concept that content is absolutely critical to the marketing success of your accountancy firm.
I still stand by that. Content is absolutely critical – and you will fail if you do not produce fresh, relevant, helpful content for the market you’ve chosen to focus on.
But once you know your market, the words don’t matter quite as much.
There’s a real tendency by business owners (not just accountants!) to imagine that when it comes to content, there’s some sort of magic formula that will turn your average-looking or average-sounding marketing campaign into something that will WOW PROSPECTS and MAKE PEOPLE BUY.
The magic formula of good content
There is no magic formula, unless it is this:
- Know your market.
- Use their language.
- Sound like a person, not a company.
- Sound like yourself.
That’s all. I was going to say something like ‘be funny’ – but that only works if that’s who you are. If you are a traditional, 150-person accountancy firm who has been around for 100 years and your brand image is that you are solid, reliable experts with some gravitas, then being funny is not going to work for you.
I thought of this tip because of the Minions. Everybody seems to love the Minions even though they don’t actually use any words. It’s gobbledygook. They babble and use their own language (if you can call it that), but somehow they are hilarious and they get their point across, with expressions and body language and style.
You could try to craft your marketing around someone like the Minions – or emulate another accountancy firm who you admire. (Read my tip on why you should not be looking at other accountancy firms) But it’s going to fail no matter what words you use if it doesn’t sound like you.
So let’s explore each of the 4 areas of this ‘magic formula’, if we can call it that:
Know your market.
I’ve beaten this drum for so long, but it’s more true than it ever has been. Accountants are waking up to the fact that if you’re going to do any marketing at all, it must be focused. Targeted.
Remember, it doesn’t have to be an industry. For some this works brilliantly – property owners, creative agencies, solicitors. But this only works if you have significant expertise in this area, or you are willing to focus all your efforts (marketing and otherwise) on this one particular area, for at least 12 months. If you’re not willing to do that, pick something else.
The reason that targeted marketing works so well is because when they land on your website, or download your materials, or talk to you in person, they are relieved to discover that:
- You understand their issues before they even tell you
- You’ve addressed these issues successfully in the past
- You speak their language (see the next point)
- Your style of doing business matches theirs
- They don’t have to explain themselves over and over
This is what your prospects are looking for. You are saving them countless hours of frustration because they don’t have to explain what they deal with every day. It shortens the sales cycle, increases their trust in you, and encourages them to buy more.
Use their language.
This follows on directly from the previous point. If you know your market, and the issues and problems they have, then you’ll be far more likely to talk in a way that they understand.
This includes things like:
- Industry-specific references
- Ideas & concepts
- Style of doing business
- Instant decisions
- Decision by committee
- Focused or haphazard
- Casual or formal
- Marketing preferences
- Direct mail
- Social media
- Fax machine
- Phone call
- In person meetings
- Technology they prefer
- Cloud technology
- PC or Mac
- Tried and tested or latest new thing
- Stock photography
- Custom graphics
- Professional photography
- Use words that you often say in conversation
- Don’t use generic content. By all means take that generic content and re-write it, but if it’s written for everybody it will sound like nobody.
- Be comfortable with the wording that is used. If someone else does the writing for you, and you think it sounds contrived, it probably is.
- Don’t be too formal. Unless you are an extremely stiff or formal person, use conversation-language. Not ‘professional-speak’.
You’ll also want to ensure that you actually use words that they themselves would use. One of the ways to do this is by asking your clients and prospects questions that will allow them to express themselves – and then use those exact words and phrases when crafting your own marketing.
If your marketing matches their language, they’ll be much more likely to trust you and work with you more quickly.
Sound like a person, not a company.
These days, the wording that is used by even the biggest businesses is very personable. Friendly. Like you’re speaking to (or listening to) one single person, not a big corporate who use professional-speak.
For example, I bought a noodle pot once, and when I checked the instructions it actually included directions for heating it over a campfire. It’s far more likely that those buying this noodle pot intend to zap it in the microwave on their lunch break. But the campfire instructions were just a few extra words on the back of the pot that made me laugh, and I felt like I was connecting with a person, not a big company.
You’re seeing this technique a lot more lately, especially by the larger companies. Social media has changed the expectations of prospective clients so that they demand to be dealt with as a person, by a person – not as a number, by a company. Your marketing needs to reflect this.
The single best tip I can give you on this is that you say aloud what you’d really like to say, and then write that down exactly. I’ve done that countless times when I feel like I’m staring at a blank screen. I think, ‘Well, what would I say if I didn’t care how they would take it, or whether it sounded perfect?’ I write that down, and then simply tidy it up a bit. Often I’m surprised at how little tidying it needs.
Sound like yourself.
The worst mistake you can make in your own content is to try to sound like someone else for whom you felt it ‘worked’. Borrowing others’ marketing ideas is a great starting point, and I have no hesitation in encouraging you not to recreate the wheel. But borrowing an idea and then re-crafting it as your own is quite different from stealing their idea or wording entirely.
The best way to sound like yourself is:

“If we’ve misplaced the ice, we’ve misplaced the 2-degree water,” Michael Litzow, shellfish evaluation program supervisor with the Nationwide Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, instructed me. “Chilly water, it’s their area of interest—they’re an Arctic animal.”
The snow crab could rebound in a couple of years, as long as there aren’t any durations of heat water. But when warming tendencies proceed, as scientists predict, the marine warmth waves will return, pressuring the crab inhabitants once more.
Bones litter the wild a part of St. Paul Island like Ezekiel’s Valley within the Previous Testomony—reindeer ribs, seal tooth, fox femurs, whale vertebrae, and air-light chicken skulls disguise within the grass and alongside the rocky seashores, proof of the bounty of wildlife and 200 years of killing seals.
After I went to go to Phil Zavadil, town supervisor and Aqualina’s husband, in his workplace, I discovered a few sea lion shoulder bones on a espresso desk. Referred to as “sure/no” bones, they’ve a fin alongside the highest and a heavy ball at one finish. In St. Paul, they perform like a magic eight ball. In case you drop one and it falls with the fin pointing proper, the reply to your query is sure. If it falls pointing left, the reply is not any. One giant one mentioned “Metropolis of St. Paul Massive-Resolution Maker.” The opposite one was labeled “funds bone.”
The long-term well being of the city, Zavadil instructed me, wasn’t in a very dire place but when it got here to the sudden lack of the crab. It had invested in the course of the heyday of crabbing and with a considerably lowered funds might probably maintain itself for a decade.
“That’s if one thing drastic doesn’t occur. If we don’t need to make drastic cuts,” he mentioned. “Hopefully the crab will come again at some stage.”
The best financial answer for the collapse of the crab fishery could be to transform the plant to course of different fish, Zavadil mentioned. There have been some regulatory hurdles, however they weren’t insurmountable. Metropolis leaders have been additionally exploring mariculture—elevating seaweed, sea cucumbers, and sea urchins. That will require discovering a market and testing mariculture strategies in St. Paul’s waters. The quickest timeline for that was perhaps three years, he mentioned. Or they may promote tourism. The island has about 300 vacationers a 12 months, most of them hardcore birders.
“However you concentrate on simply doubling that,” he mentioned.
The trick was to stabilize the economic system earlier than too many working-age adults moved away. There have been already extra jobs than folks to fill them. Older folks have been passing away, youthful households have been shifting out.
“I had somebody come as much as me the opposite day and say, ‘The village is dying,’” he mentioned, however he didn’t see it that method. There have been nonetheless folks working and plenty of options to attempt.
“There’s trigger for alarm if we do nothing,” he mentioned. “We’re making an attempt to work on issues and take motion one of the best we are able to.”
Aquilina Lestenkof’s nephew, Aaron Lestenkof, is an island sentinel with the tribal authorities, a job that entails monitoring wildlife and overseeing the elimination of an infinite stream of trash that washes up ashore. He drove me alongside a bumpy highway down the coast to see the seashores that may quickly be noisy and crowded with seals. | <urn:uuid:fd615d58-8546-4500-8b14-ced3588141ba> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://webentrepreneurs4u.com/the-snow-crab-vanishes-wired/ | 2024-04-21T20:52:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.957587 | 837 |
One way or another, the wrapper of the product is the first thing that the buyer pays attention to, so the design of the package or label is very important, and their cost is calculated taking into account several important factors, which we will talk about later.
Most often, the buyer identifies beautiful packaging with the quality of the product. We think that if a product looks beautiful, most likely it should be of high quality. It is visually that the buyer chooses a product, and in rare cases, when choosing a product in a specific price segment, the user will choose an unattractive packaging.
So, in order for the buyer to choose your packaging or label, it must have a memorable, stylish design. It should be bright so that, among many others, the buyer will fix his gaze on your product. The ideal design should be such that the buyer stops his gaze against his will, without intending to buy this product. This is an excellent marketing tool that does not require additional funds, because the picture speaks for itself.
It is psychologically arranged that a person most easily perceives information visually, and, firstly, it is worth playing on this, and secondly, it is not worth saving money. It is emotions and associations that make up the link between the buyer and the brand. After all, you are not selling a product, but emotions. In this context, the first impression is very important. In addition, in order for the label to become a selling one, it must:
a) be memorized by the buyer at first sight;
b) clearly convey important information to the buyer;
c) match the overall brand concept.
On this last point, it's important to note that if your brand represents different products or product lines, by combining them into one design concept, you can create a strong bond between the customer and your brand. If a customer likes one of your products, definitely, for sure, next time in the store he will look for a familiar label with his eyes. This is another argument that confirms that the cost of developing a label design is commensurate with the results obtained afterwards.
Development of packaging and label design involves a number of works, which also, include the price:
Product analysis. The creation of a label design is carried out on the basis of a study of a brand or company, its corporate identity, the product itself, namely, its features and advantageous characteristics. In addition, in order to create a truly selling packaging, it is necessary to study the target audience, as well as the current trends in the field.
Development of technical specifications. This is a very important stage, because the competent preparation of the technical specification excludes possible errors and ensures a smooth and consistent workflow. Thanks to this, you will get your result faster and better. It is better to spend more time on drawing up the technical assignment than to spend both time and money on revisions or changes.
Development of several design options. As a rule, a professional IT studio will offer you several design options. After that, you can make some edits and transform your chosen concept a bit. However, more often it does end up like this, because before that, the terms of reference were carefully drawn up.
Preparing for printing. After the final edits and approval of the design, it is necessary to carry out the last layout for correct printing.
When it comes to design, the price will always greatly depend on the type and characteristics of the product for which it is required. Each unique product requires careful technical and graphic design. Different products require a different visual approach:
Some products are most profitable to present in all their splendor, as if to emphasize the already existing zest. In other words, some products look good on their own, and to show this, you need to take good quality photography or render the product accordingly.
On the other hand, some goods will be represented more interesting and profitable by a character. In this case, it is very important not to overdo it, otherwise you risk getting a kitschy, tasteless label that will only repel potential buyers.
In some cases, the text can also act as a stylistic element and favorably emphasize the value of the product. To do this, you need to do a good job with color, contrast. Sometimes it is not enough to choose a suitable font, but you need to develop a new, unique one.
Before ordering the development of a design for a package or label, it is important to immediately note the goal: the design is created for a single product or for a whole line of products. In the second case, it will be necessary to think over the options for modifying the label for various goods. It is recommended to discuss this point at the very beginning, as it also affects the cost of the service.
Also, the price is influenced by the price segment of the product. The packaging of premium products requires the use of more expensive and possibly rare or non-standard materials. In addition, such a product often requires a more creative approach.
As we have already said, a bright and memorable first impression can play a key role for the buyer in choosing a product. That is why it is worth allocating the budget in favor of creating quality packaging. Otherwise, even the highest quality product may not work because of a bad label.
We would like to note that the design of packaging or labels should be entrusted to professionals. They know how to best present the features of the product so that the buyer will pay attention to it and would like to buy it.
As you may have already understood, there are many factors that affect the cost of developing a label design. It takes into account the technique, and the uniqueness, and the chosen style. In addition, the cost varies depending on your goal: if you came for a new design, there will be one price, if you need to refine an existing design, it will be a completely different price.
Everything is calculated individually. To find out more details and the approximate cost of your project, please contact the managers of our company. They will answer all your questions and provide the most complete information. | <urn:uuid:7e0cf3c3-0087-45eb-bc16-0dfa7660ca0e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://webmaster.md/en/faq/how-much-does-the-packaging-and-label-design-cost/ | 2024-04-21T21:35:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.963156 | 1,255 |
You’ve probably passed a Little Free Library during a recent walk, ride or drive though your neighborhood. Odds are you passed it off as a personal project of some local do-gooder or over-achieving parent but the so-called “Little Free Library Movement” is bigger, broader and more organized than anyone could guess.
The first Little Free Library was created by Todd Bol of Hudson, Wisconsin as a tribute to his mother, a former schoolteacher and lifelong book-lover. Bol’s pioneering concept was meant to look like a miniature one-room schoolhouse but that design isn’t mandated, even for those who register with the non-profit Little Free Library Ltd. website and receive an official sign they can affix to their box. Size isn’t de rigeur either though the above Tardis library box is larger than most… especially on the inside. Flickr member ap^ snapped the example above from Bloomington, MN on April 27th of 2013.
If you’re calling your Little Free Library “Headless Books“, it follows that your book box be decorated to display that fact. Crafted from a disused bREADbox and topped by a headless (and topless, at the risk of being redundant) mannequin torso scrounged from a local garage sale, The Headless Library can be found in NE Minneapolis.
Since September of 2012 the torso-topped library shared yard space with Penny’s Childrens Library – another ex-breadbox topped with a plastic lawn-ornament penguin because why not? Sadly, this library was trashed and the penguin stolen by unknown assailants during a spring blizzard in April of 2013… at press time the penguin was still missing. We suggest looking for it on top of a British woman’s TV set.
Book To The Future
Dubbed the Little Free Library 3D X, this futuristic little library comes to us courtesy of designer and Flickr member Robert Sekula (ethno folk funk architects) in cooperation with Andrej Poliak. Never thought you’d see the words “futuristic” and “library” in the same sentence, did you?
Morel Of The Stories
What is it about Minnesota and odd Little Free Libraries? Flickr member Marie Janssen (jamuraa) snapped the above “Little Tree Free Library” in New Brighton, MN, on August 11th of 2012.

Weight loss is a very common consideration for many people. Some people are successful and then they feel great. There are plenty of people who don’t stick with it and eventually give up. If this sounds like you, try out the advice shared here.
Eat breakfast everyday. Your day should start off with a nourishing breakfast that satisfies you and gives you the energy you need to get going. Eating breakfast regularly lets the body know that storing calories is not essential to its survival, allowing you to burn them instead.
A multivitamin is a great alternative to improve your chances of losing weight is to take multivitamins. When you diet, you can stop eating a lot of different foods, leaves us lacking essential vitamins. You can give your body the essential vitamins if you take a multivitamin.
If you want to lose weight effectively, you must consume enough calories. Starvation diets might have quick initial results but can really do long-term harm. That is because when your body does not have food to nourish it, your metabolism will slow down in order to hold on to the fat in your body as fuel. You are also more susceptible to binging.
You can still eat out at restaurants when you are on a diet. Just remember that the plates and meals at restaurants are usually very big. You can have the waiter to bring a container and place half of the meal into it. This can help you to consume an appropriate number of calories while providing you with a meal for the following day.
Do not be embarrassed to leave a plate half full when trying to lose weight. Kids are often told to finish everything on their plate and this can usually mess them up later in life in terms of weight issues. It is perfectly acceptable to take a doggy bag of leftovers home. Don’t eat something just because it’s on your plate. Stay mindful of your portions and stop eating once you are full.
Do not avoid your cravings. Foods like chips and ice cream are quite tasty. Cravings related to unhealthy foods like these can kick into high gear when you are on a diet. You don’t want to derail your weight loss goals, and do your best to keep your goals in mind. Try to find a low-calorie substitute for your favorite food.
Examine which foods you find enjoyable. Most of your bad eating habits are likely not based on taste. Be sure to enjoy every last bite. If your meal is incorrectly cooked, order a different dish or have it remade. You do not have to eat the food just because it is payed for. Money is not more important than your health. Weight loss is possible with deliberate effort. This is your personal decision.
Don’t eat late night meals if you can lose weight. Snacking late at night fills your body with calories it is not process the food as efficiently when we are sleeping. You will start losing weight fast if you cut out late night eating.
Cardiovascular exercise will bring you a greater opportunity for weight loss rather than focusing on weight training by itself. Mixing the two will bring you the best results. Token levels of resistance training do assist in keeping a toned figure, but it is cardiovascular exercise that truly burns the fat calories leading to your slim figure. While muscle building is great for fitness, weight loss comes from cardio.
This helps you save money and control of your calorie intake. Pack yourself whole fruits and veggies.Plan to take some snacks so you’re not tempted and use the vending machines.
You can plan your weight loss easily by looking at the math. In a single pound of fat, there are around 3,500 calories. If you are trying to lose a pound, you have to burn 3500 more calories than you eat. In order to efficiently keep track of this caloric intake and output, divide it into manageable units and time frames. For example, strive to eat 500 less calories per day than you utilize. You can lose a pound per week this way!
You could illustrate the progress that you take photos of yourself before and after you started losing weight. This is a much more graphic way to acknowledge the newer thinner you rather than simply reading a number on a scale. It can also let you show your family and friends by showing them your progression over time.
Eat with another person and talk to avoid eating too much. When we eat by ourselves, it usually results in overeating because there is nothing to divert our attention from our food.
Some diets require you to eliminate carbs to lose weight. This is not be the optimal idea.Everyone needs healthy carbohydrates in order for their bodies to function properly.
Track your total steps with a pedometer as part of your weight loss efforts. The general rule is to strive for about 10,000 daily steps. Challenge yourself in walking more than average, as well. Every step will help you to become more fit and lose weight.
One excellent way to contribute to weight is to drink a glass of milk right before meals. Milk is high in calcium for building muscles and will keep your bones strong as well as build muscle mass.
Look to avocados for a source of nutrition in your diet. They are a high-fat food, but the fat is all “good,” healthy unsaturated fat. Their rich and silky texture makes it extremely satisfying to a lot of people who are staying away from unhealthy fats like the ones found in meats. A vegetable taco filled with avocado in place of ground beef tastes great and is super healthy.
Aim for a particular clothing size as opposed to a target weight goal.Do not pay attention to the number on that scale!Weights could vary from person to another. Because everyone will have a different healthy weight, trying to attain a certain weight does not always make sense. Focus on the clothing you want to be instead.
Stay away from products that promise weight loss miracles. The problem is that you will gain your weight back if you stop taking them.
Eating without focusing on portion sizes will lead to weight gain. If you ignore what you’re putting in your mouth, you won’t lose any weight. Know how much you are eating at every sitting and you will find you will eat less.
Track steps with a pedometer as part of your weight loss efforts. You should be taking at least 10,000 steps a day. When you figure out your average number of steps you take daily, you can push yourself to take more steps. Every step you take helps you towards your weight loss and fitness goals.
Smaller meal portion sizes are a better choice for your health. A healthy weight can be achieved easier and quicker by doing this. This will improve the way you look and how you feel about yourself. A lower body weight can increase your energy levels and prevent many future health issues.
A pedometer is an easy way to track how active you are trying to lose weight. This will record the steps that you walk in a given day. This little item which tells you know when you aren’t walking enough. You need to walk a minimum of 10,000 steps per day.
The body does not get rid of calories that it doesn’t convert into energy; it converts them into fat and saves them for a rainy day. So, if you know you won’t be very active today, eat lightly. You won’t require many calories on days in which you are sedentary. Only have a bite when you know you are going to get up and active for some time. Thus, all calories ingested can be quickly burned.
Write down what you have eaten, what time you eat and how you feel when you eat. This lets you understand why you can beat them.
Seeing a dietician is a smart way to maintain a healthy lifestyle as well as lose weight. The dietitian will assist you in making better choices about your food. Dieting success is due in part to healthy eating.
It is a good idea to not use the term “diet”.
When you eat is as important as what you eat. Slacking off on dinner will mean you want a bigger breakfast. The majority of your calories should be consumed early in the day either at breakfast or lunch.
When you take the time to prepare a healthy dinner, always make extra for your lunch the following day. A delicious chicken salad can become a delicious pita sandwich.This gives you prepare a quick and simple meal without needing to plan.
When in the midst of a diet, purchase discounted clothing from second hand shops. There is no reason to pay too much for clothing that may not fit you in a month or two.
Don’t give up on your weight loss plan. You might have times when you want them to. Do not let this to bring you down.
Get rid of all of your old clothes that no longer fit. If you keep these clothes in your home, you are saying that it is fine to gain the weight back because you will still have some clothes to wear. Muscle is denser than fat, so you may decrease in size while not losing much weight
Focus on being positive when you are going to lose weight. Keep making positive statements to yourself and soon they will come true.
Keep exercising daily if you want to lose weight and keep it off. Even if you have a very busy schedule, muscle building or aerobic training can be added to your day through your normal daily activities. For instance, hang onto the kitchen counter do a set of push ups as dinner is cooking.
Stop drinking soda! It may be sweet, but it isn’t good for you or your weight. Switch your soda with water and you will see your weight decrease. If you want to drink something that is sweet, try fruit juice.
The wonderful cleansing and fat-burning properties of green tea make it an excellent addition to your diet. Brewed green tea, either hot or over ice, is calorie-free and some believe it has fat-burning abilities. Drinking it will really help in regards to your weight loss program.
If you enjoy pasta, whole wheat noodles are a great options for you. Whole grain pasta is very filling, and is a healthy pasta choice. Remember that you should not eat pasta on a regular basis, and you should try to avoid rich sauces.
By joining up with family and friends who want to lose some weight, you have a potential buddy for your journey. Having the right support system is an important part of your weight loss success.
If you start thinking negatively, rethink your thinking. You need to have a positive outlook if you want to be successful. Believe in yourself by repeating positive thoughts in your mind.
Make sure to drink water before you eat meals. It becomes easy to overindulge when you have gone too long without food.
Once you have had breakfast, only drink water. Water has no calories or fat, and works to cleanse your body as it hydrates. Drinking just water after breakfast will allow you to lose weight.
Green tea has a proven effect of increasing metabolism which help you lose weight. Add a drop of honey to give it a special taste. Another type of tea with benefits is black variety. It is full of antioxidants that improve immune system and flush toxins from your body.
Buy good gym equipment that you’ll enjoy using. Local gyms can be unappealing because they can be costly, and because some people do not like to workout in the presence of others. Home equipment is great because it can be used in private and requires a one-time expense only.
Do not give into your cravings. It is often very difficult not give into cravings. You could also try brushing your teeth to head off a craving. You can also try cleaning gross things and watching a scary movie or clean something in order to control your appetite.
Exercise is one of the best ways to burn calories, but avoid always doing the same routine. Plan a different type of workout for each day of the week. That way you will only be repeating the same exercises once every seven days, and you will not get bored with the activity.
As you know, there are many people who want to shed pounds. Some have success and get muscular, fit bodies for it. On the other hand, some people quit and still have the same body. Lose the weight and get the body you’ve always wanted by following the advice in this article.
Remember to support your weight loss program by drinking eight ounces of water before eating any meal. Water can sometimes reduce your cravings for food, which will help you to avoid eating. When you feel hungry, try consuming some water first. This techniques will help curtail overeating. | <urn:uuid:40395059-3a66-43b5-a920-d60fc0fc095e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://weight-loss-infos.com/solid-advice-for-healthy-and-natural-weight-loss/ | 2024-04-21T21:26:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.967394 | 2,620 |

Cardiff and Vale College has held the first special Graduation Ceremony for its growing number of Higher Education students.
More than 100 HE graduates, friends and family came to the ceremony at the College’s City Centre Campus to see the graduates don their gowns and mortarboards for the ceremony. They received their certificates from CAVC Deputy Principal Kay Martin and Vice Principal Sharon James.
Cardiff and Vale College’s university level HE provision continues to grow. Over the last year the College has doubled the number of Higher Education courses it offers and applications increased by 117% with enrolments going up by 30% – many of those being new students.
The College works in partnership with a number of universities in Wales and England to deliver HE qualifications including Cardiff Metropolitan University, University of South Wales, University of West London, University College Birmingham and Kingston University London giving people the opportunity to gain university-level qualifications while staying close to home. Last year, 96% of the College’s HE students successfully achieved their qualification.
Two such successful graduates were husband and wife Abdou Elilah Hassan and Amira Assami, who both graduated with a Foundation Degree in Business Studies which they studied for together.
“I enrolled first because you could study the course part-time at City Centre Campus and that was convenient – it meant I could work at the same time as doing a university course. Then my husband applied without telling me!” Amira laughed. “When he told me I spoke to my tutor Judith and said ‘Don’t take that man!’”
“I wanted to get a recognised qualification so I spoke to the tutor,” Abdou explained. “Then I found out it was the same course that my wife was on.”
The married couple have graduated with Merits and are now going to the College’s partner the University of South Wales top up to a full degree.
“Coming to Cardiff and Vale College was great – it was hard work but we really enjoyed it,” Amira said.
“We had our little ups and downs but it really was great,” Abdou added. “We want better qualifications so we can get better jobs with better salaries, or open our own business and this will really help us.”
CAVC Deputy Principal Kay Martin said: “Seeing our students graduate with Higher Education qualifications they wanted to achieve together with the skills they have picked up along the way makes me and my all of my colleagues at the College extremely proud.

There’s a day for nearly everything you can possibly think of these days – you know what we’re on about, days like National Burger Day, International Cheesecake Day and so on. But the ones we can strongly stand by are the days that help focus attention on helping save our beautiful planet.

Although the cleaning crew do their best to keep our beaches clean, it is the used cigarette filters that end up getting buried in the sand and escape their notice. And its up to us to lend a helping hand.
Surf House Dubai has teamed up with @Goumbook and their #SaveTheButts campaign with an aim to pick up 10,000 pieces of cigarette butts to protect the last surf beach in Dubai.
Once all the cigarette butts are collected, Surf House Dubai will turn them into a Cigarette Surf Board with the help of local UAE board manufacturers SWS board Technology.
If you wish to come together as a community to help, register for free here. Show up at Surf House at 5pm and collect your beach clean up kit. As a thank you, the Surf Board team will give you a free coffee or tea at Single Fin Cafe.

In spite of prevalent thinking, extremely chic ladies aren’t superhuman. If you don’t see them going around with week-old espresso recolors on their pullovers or limping in excruciating heels, it’s not because those things don’t transpire. This is because they realize how to bargain.
Truth be told, they’re managing it once a day.

It’s normal to purchase something in a smaller size as a motivating force to lose weight or because it is a bargain. Be that as it may, clutching these things – that you can’t physically wear – is one of the bad things you do in case you’re attempting to diminish the measure of your closet. Be reasonable and legitimate with yourself. If it doesn’t fit you, give it to philanthropy.
To be genuinely slick, it does not take an enormous spending plan or three strolls in closets worth of originator garments – you don’t have to spend a fortune to look great. What you do require, however, is to make great, reasonable choices. Purchase what you require, what makes you feel extraordinary and clutch no more. Furthermore, take care of your garments. You can do it in only 15 pieces.

SailTimer Air Link™
NMEA gateway connecting wireless and wired devices.
This small waterproof device can receive Bluetooth transmissions from the SailTimer Wind Instrument™ and connect on wires to your GPS chartplotter. It can also connect any anemometer to our cloud server (e.g. through marina wifi or a smartphone) so that you can check wind conditions online from home or office. Previous models of Air Link™ could also retransmit your NMEA wind and GPS data on wifi to Android/iOS apps (iSailor, MID WiFi, Sail Buddy, iRegatta, NMEA Sail, WinDis, Aqua Map, Sail Expert…). That capability will be added to the new Air Link 4 in future, in an Over-The-Air Update.
The 4th-generation Air Link is available now. It is completely redesigned for a much lower price ($75), NMEA 2000 wiring, and Over-the-Air Updates so that it actually gets better over time. The new model has been designed with a clear lid on the waterproof case to show LED indicators inside. The size is just 4″ x 2 3/4″ (10 x 6.7 cm), not including the mounting tab on each end. The waterproof case has a silicone gasket under the lid and a water-resistant wiring gland (IP66).
The Air Link is not an electrical adapter; click here for a sidebar on internal processing it does as a smart device.
The SailTimer Air Link™ runs on 12 volts and comes with power and ground wires (part of the NMEA wiring bundle) that you can connect to. You can connect ordinary 14 (larger) to 18 (smaller) gauge stranded automotive-type wire. A range of 12-volt DC power will work, such as a screw terminal with power from your boat battery, a car DC power socket, or an AC adapter wall plug that ouputs 12 volt DC power (e.g. with 3 Amps of output). Or it can be powered from a NMEA 2000 backbone.
Easy NMEA Wiring
Connect the Air Link to a GPS chartplotter or autopilot on NMEA 2000 and/or 0183. It can receive wind data on Bluetooth then connect on wires to a Multi-Function Display (MFD) like this one from B&G or the Garmin shown below. For NMEA 2000, the Air Link 4 has a connector socket as shown in this photo where the Air Link, power wires and a GPS antenna are connected to an NMEA 2000 backbone. For NMEA 0183, the Air Link has two Input (Listener) and two Output (Talker) wires.
The Air Link is too small to have a screen, so you can configure it with the Air Link app on Android and iOS. Just select your wifi network and enter your wifi password. Scan on Bluetooth for your SailTimer Wind Instrument and select it to connect. That’s it; quick and easy. Full details in the Operating Instructions that come in the box.
The inputs and outputs in the SailTimer Air Link™ are opto-isolated to prevent galvanic corrosion (when two different types of metal are connected to the circuit and in contact with the water), and to preserve your sacrificial zinc anodes below the waterline. This opto-isolation is a requirement of the NMEA standard. It means that we convert the data from electricity to light signals to prevent ground loops and also protect the device from voltage spikes.
FAQs: There are further technical details beyond what is covered in the Operating Instructions, in the Air Link FAQs. | <urn:uuid:e06386b6-40b5-439c-b8ef-3a7f0a542818> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wi-rb.com/sailtimer-air-link-features/ | 2024-04-21T21:46:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.886931 | 756 |

This week, Microsoft has made a surprising announcement saying admins overseeing Windows Server can now choose automatic updates for .NET Core and .NET. This facility is an option through Microsoft Update (MU), where admins can opt-in for the automatic updates.
“A small number of customers have told us they don’t use a deployment management tool and would like to leverage AU to update their servers similar to clients. We believe the opt in approach we’re rolling out today will allow these customers to get the benefit of AU for their server operating systems without impacting the larger set of customers that do not want this.”
Importantly, when a Windows Server admin chooses the option, there is no effect on client operating systems, including Windows. In other words, automatic updates only happen in server situations.
Until Microsoft’s announcement, admins on Windows Server were only able to receive .NET and .NET Core updates through the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or Microsoft Update Catalog by manually pulling them in.
How it Works
Under the new conditions, admins can change their configuration to get releases from the Automatic Updates (AU) channel.
Microsoft has provided registration key for .NET Core 3.1, .NET 5.0, .NET 6.0, or .NET automatic for configuring to receive updates. In Group Policy, admins can deploy the registry keys across machines.
It is good that Microsoft has made this an opt-in decision. For Windows Server admins happy with the old update situation, no action is required and no automatic updates are given.
Tip of the day: It’s a good idea to backup your computer on a regular basis, and the most fool-proof way is to manually create a disk image and save it to an external hard drive. | <urn:uuid:0c1e6591-e9b1-4223-8a41-23cff330c6ae> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://winbuzzer.com/2022/04/14/windows-server-gets-automatic-updates-for-net-core-and-net-xcxwbn/ | 2024-04-21T21:51:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.898313 | 367 |

(See here for the whole story.)
We honestly thought we were going to get something this time. Not, if we're being honest, from the terminally vacuous Dougie Alexander (writing in famed Labour paper the Telegraph), and he didn't disappoint us:
"Politics is about emotion as well as simple accountancy. So as well as making the economic case for staying in the United Kingdom, we also need to tell a better, more positive story for Scotland’s future to compete with the SNP’s narrative of nationalism." (Actual positive story not included. Nor the economic case, now we come to think about it.)
But we thought there was a real chance from Tory opinionist Andrew McKie in the Herald yesterday. After all, it was practically there in the headline ("A positive reason for the Union? Most Scots want it"), and the article itself was clear about its goal, noting that "Politicians are much given to talking – as Mr Cameron did yesterday – about 'a positive case for the Union' and commentators (I'm one of them) have been asking for the same thing for some time. Since nobody has yet been willing to do this, I'll try to make a modest start".
Sadly, though, the actual case presented by McKie turned out to be, shall we say, not entirely convincing:
"It is a strategic mistake for Unionists to bang on about whether Scotland is subsidised by England. It is, a bit, compared with many English regions (though London is subsidised more), but then we have Glasgow to contend with, as well as huge remote areas such as the Highlands and Islands, which demand higher spending.
The benefit of the United Kingdom is that such costs can be shared among a much larger population; the Union gives freedom of movement, lack of tariff barriers and equal benefit, healthcare and pension entitlement to all citizens.
In other words, McKie's "positive" reason is basically "Glasgow is such a dump that we need the rest of the UK to bail out all the benefit scroungers there". Or in other words, the same old negative scaremongering, but now simply called a positive boon. (Also, he appears to rather bizarrely believe that an independent Scotland won't have freedom of movement, healthcare or pensions. All this positivity is overwhelming us.)
In fairness to McKie, he does go on to assert the claim made by his headline, namely:
"That positive case for the Union is not one which any convinced Scottish Nationalist will agree with, but it is the most forceful of them all: the positive case for the Union is that most Scots do not want to abandon it."
But that's not so much a case as a statement, of something nobody actually knows yet. We will know after the referendum whether Scots want to abandon the Union, and not before – in 304 years of Union, this will be the first time Scots have been given any vote on it. The manager can say before the game that his team has it won, but you don't actually get the three points until the final whistle.
So sadly, nothing yet. But there's still time! Come on, Unionists! You can do it!

HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "nationality" is not recognized
Teodora Rumenova Andreeva (born January 23, 1987), best known by her stage nameAndrea (Cyrillic: Андреа), is a Bulgarianpop-folk singer. She and the Romanian singer Costi Ionita performed together and released music as Sahara. In 2013 BBC News described her as a "pop-folk superstar".
Teodora Andreeva (a.k.a. Andrea) is a bulgarian pop-folk singer. Born in Sofia to a musical family, she took music lessons at an early age from her aunt who was an opera singer in the Vraca Opera. During her teenage years she won a many beauty awards (Miss Sofia, Miss Tourism Bulgaria).
After graduating high school, she was signed with Bulgarian music agencies, Payner Music, and began her career.
In 2008 Andrea met Costi Ionita and together they produced their first balkan hit "Само Мой". During the next year they joined forces and introduced themselves as an international duo creating Sahara. Their next hit song (Tyalee) was released in 2009 and featured the artist Lenox Brown. The song was released worldwide and known abroad by the name "Tyalee", Избирам Теб in Bulgaria. The english version of the song was produced by Cat Music and soon after Serdar Ortac made a turkish version with the band Sahara. | <urn:uuid:9096c0be-a7a0-4111-8819-74732d8aa9f2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wn.com/Andrea_(Bulgarian_singer) | 2024-04-21T21:16:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.982612 | 321 |
Have You Set a Personal Goal?
1 To succeed in accomplishing something, it helps greatly to set a goal for ourselves. A goal is something to strive for, and when achieved, it results in satisfaction, especially when the goal involves our service to God. (Eph. 5:15-17) Many of us have set as a personal goal to temporary pioneer one time each year, to join the ranks of regular pioneers, to become a special pioneer or a member of the Bethel family, to serve where the need is greater, to attend Gilead and thereafter serve as a missionary, etc. Think of the added blessings that those who have realized such goals have experienced in their lives!
2 In the Organization book we do not find a set goal of hours for all publishers, nor set goals for return visits, magazine placements or Bible studies. Why not? Because our individual circumstances, condition of health, abilities, etc., vary greatly. Not all of us are able to do the same amount, and, as we know, the response on the part of the public is not the same in all areas.
3 However, would it not be good for each of us individually to set a goal for our own field ministry, to determine personally how much time we can reasonably spend in field service each month and work out a schedule accordingly? Similarly, we can establish a personal goal for magazine placements, return visits, and even the number of Bible studies we wish to conduct.
4 A publisher recently stated: ‘When the Society had a goal of twelve magazines a month for us as publishers, and I saw near the end of the month I was short on magazine placements, often I would arrange to spend a little more time in magazine service so as to enjoy the satisfaction of placing twelve or more magazines a month.’ He observed that when the goals were discontinued, his field service time dropped and he was not putting forth the same effort to place twelve magazines a month. He decided to set personal field service goals for himself, and as a result he has increased the time he spends in field ministry and again enjoys a greater part in magazine distribution.
5 Goals are wholesome for us as individuals. They provide us opportunity to manifest good desires, according to “the arrangings of the heart” which Jehovah lovingly allows his human creatures to develop according to choice. And when one’s heart ‘thinks out its way,’ setting reasonable goals in God’s service, then “Jehovah himself does the directing of his steps.” (Prov. 16:1, 9) Yes, Jehovah will bless our efforts to meet such goals. Our desire is to please Jehovah by sharing as fully as we can in Kingdom-preaching and the disciple-making work. Goals can aid us to accomplish this. Would it not be good, then, with all of us recognizing the urgency of the times, individually to consider again our circumstances and to work out for ourselves reasonable personal goals for field service? | <urn:uuid:067a2ab3-1fe6-4b64-a460-8b43c8cc75e3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/201973164 | 2024-04-21T21:33:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.974078 | 621 |

Perhaps you have already heard the term “Cultural Competence,” but are you familiar with the organizational concept of “Linguistic Competence?”
The National Center for Cultural Competence (NCCC) at Georgetown University describes Linguistic Competence as, “The capacity of an organization and its personnel to communicate effectively, and convey information in a manner that is easily understood by diverse audiences including persons of limited English proficiency, those who have low literacy skills or are not literate, and individuals with disabilities.”
This concept is relevant to all types of organizations, although healthcare providers were the first to address it. As the U.S. population becomes more diverse, business and educational organizations need to rethink their communication styles.
Linguistic Competence doesn’t mean that an organization should hire only bilingual employees. The NCCC offers 14 different recommendations, from providing translated materials to translation language services, but one of the most important steps is to consider the materials your organization uses to communicate with employees and clients in English.
All general organizational communication, particularly print materials, should be presented in formats that are easy to read and understand, if spoken. Vocabulary and grammar should be at a low level, and pictures and symbols should be used to clarify words, whenever possible.
Here is an excellent example of linguistic competence in action. In 2015, the Center for Court Innovation published Improving Courthouse Signage: Procedural Justice Through Design, which describes the very effective process of improving the look, feel and navigability of the Red Hook Community Justice Center.
As you can see, it can be surprising how simple changes can improve user perception and experience.
Clear signage makes locations easier to locate. Rules communicated up front save time and embarrassment in the courtroom.
The publication contains more examples and information about the process used to upgrade the facility, as well as making it more attractive, efficient and user-friendly.
Plenty of other government agencies would benefit from a serious review of their use of Linguistic Competence. For example, eligible voters are a perfect representation of America’s diversity. Voters come from all walks of life and have differing levels of education and English literacy skills. Voter instructions must be simple. Yet, many state websites provide instructions that seem to be more concerned with using correct legal terms than with clarifying the process for voters.
The following section of published voter instructions will be used to demonstrate the problem and solution.
Steps are a terrific idea, but these are weighed down by confusing detail and jargon. None of the jargon – or technical terms – are explained to help the voter understand them. Difficult sentence structure such as, “A judge of election will determine the ballot on which you are qualified to vote…” is stilted and unnecessary. (Hint to writers – read out loud!) In addition, details about specific contingencies only confuse the matter. After all, this person is still looking for a polling place.
Instead, the instructions could look like this:
Step 1 – Find your voting place (polling place.)
- Click here to select your county.
- Or call XXX-XXX-XXXX for assistance.
Step 2 – When you arrive at the polling place to vote.
- Sign in with the official (an election judge) at the desk.
- Receive your ballot (voting paper or electronic card) after it is signed by the election judge.
- General Elections – the ballot is the same for all voters.
- Primary Elections – ask for the political party ballot you need (Democrat, Republican, etc.).
It is also important to use Linguistic Competency when creating forms. The online search mechanism should refer to “County” rather than “Jurisdiction.”
I hope this introduction has been helpful. Please spend more time researching the subject before tackling any of your existing communications materials. You can begin by considering the Linguistic Competence level of the next communication you create.
Reworking the Linguistic Competency of all organizational materials is a daunting task if the first step does not include prioritization. It’s most important to address the general communication or instructional materials available to employees or clients. | <urn:uuid:bc947a5f-2b14-4098-8093-1d2d6e4e5a87> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wonderlic.woiii.nl/blog/assessments/soft-skills/organizations-that-value-diversity-need-linguistic-competence/ | 2024-04-21T21:51:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.94239 | 874 |
If the employer is telling you they will hold it for 'safety' or 'insurance' and it is not a statutory requirement, there is absolutely no valid reason that they would do it for noble purposes. The fact that they are threatening to withhold your pay unless you consent is an even stronger indication of a very bad situation.
Over all, be careful, it sounds like you are walking in to an awful situation where you will be taken advantage of.
If you don't need the job, consider leaving
I do not say this lightly.
Employment is supposed to be a mutually-beneficial agreement. They pay you for services rendered, and both parties should be happy with the agreement. Employers that try to go beyond that agreement to make you follow your end, they are typically up to no good. For instance:
- Employers threatening foreign workers with deportation and revocation of their visa if they quit (usually the visa actually belongs to the holder in most countries, so the consequence of ignoring it is fine, but the goal is to bully those ignorant of their rights in a foreign country where they may not speak the language)
- Employers 'holding' an employee's passport 'for safe keeping' (this is quite common in human trafficking cases where people are promised a legitimate job in another country and then are put in to indentured servitude without a passport or proper legal status making them depend on their employer for money to live on)
The point is that an employer should not need to use coercion or trickery to keep an employee. If the employer starts acting that way, they are likely to continue, and you should get out before you end up in a worse situation then you are already in.
If you do need the job, minimize potential harm
Keep sufficient savings to get a plane ticket home at any time (or make sure you have a way of getting that money no matter what happens). If you need to give them this official document, try contacting the school that issued the document, explain the situation, and ask if it is possible to get another copy in the worst case scenario.
Be very wary about any obligations your company has. If they, for instance, send you on a business trip and tell you they will reimburse you, make sure you get the money from the company to cover the trip up front, otherwise you may be out the entire cost of the business trip as well as months of pay if they decide to fire you unexpectedly.
Be very careful about local laws. Be sure you learn about what protections there are for employees (especially foreign employees) under the law. Make sure that you have legitimate working permission because if you are there illegally, it may be incredibly difficult to get the authorities to do anything on your behalf (they may just want to deport you and save the headache). If possible, I suggest contacting people from your country's embassy and explaining the situation and asking for guidance if you have no other way to learn about these things.
I strongly recommend you get out, but if you can't for whatever reason, be sure that you do everything in your power to make sure that you don't end up in a worse situation than you are already in. | <urn:uuid:c12b5280-6328-4696-a979-bb0b7814b1e5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://workplace.stackexchange.com/questions/22088/is-it-okay-to-leave-my-original-documents-with-a-company-who-wants-them-as-insu/22248 | 2024-04-21T20:28:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.962717 | 650 |

Creating renewable energy and biofertlisers from organic waste
WRAP's work on organics details how organic reprocessors can work across the food and garden waste supply chain, including local authorities and farmers, to produce renewable energy and valuable compost and biofertilisers by anaerobic digestion of these wastes.
An estimated 9.5 million tonnes of food which leaves the farm is thrown out across the UK every year – 70% of which could have been eaten. Of which, only 1.9Mt is recycled according to the most recent figures. The rest is recovered for Energy from Waste or landspreading, or ends up in landfills or sewers.
By working together, all of those involved, from producers, collectors and reprocessors, can extract the maximum value possible from food that would otherwise be wasted.
The WRAP-led Food Waste Recycling Action Plan sets out to increase the amount of food waste collected, provide long-term sustainable feedstocks for the food waste reprocessors and share the economic and environmental benefits of collecting and recycling food waste.
Key food waste reports and guidance
Collection of garden waste is key to the UK meeting targets to reduce biodegradable municipal waste sent to landfill, and thereby reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
By using WRAP’s independent research local authorities can find guidance on how to encourage commercial organisations and local residents to compost themselves, or to participate in a community and local authority composting scheme.
Key garden waste reports and guidance
Compost from green waste and food waste provides a valuable opportunity for local authorities, commercial organisations and householders to divert organic waste away from landfill. It is not only a vital aspect of keeping to landfill targets but can create a great amount of added value to organisations producing and using it.
WRAP’s independent research can help local authorities, organic reprocessors, residents and those working in agriculture to realise the economic and environmental benefits of producing and using high quality compost.
Key composting reports and guidance
This calculator allows those creating and selling compost to see the financial values of key nutrients in compost and digestate when compared to inorganic fertilisers.

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is the process by which organic matter such as animal or food waste is broken down to produce renewable energy and biofertiliser.
Greater use of AD to produce renewable energy and biofertilisers, reduces dependence on fossil fuels and cuts carbon emissions.
WRAP’s extensive research can guide your organisation to gain economic and environmental benefits from using AD to make valuable resources out of organic waste. | <urn:uuid:e7a1f862-d621-42fb-b60f-5b9a295edf68> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wrap.org.uk/taking-action/collections-recycling/markets-materials/organics-collection-sorting-reprocessing | 2024-04-21T21:19:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.899828 | 541 |
You could look into the etymological roots of the name. For instance, Loki is believed to be derived from the same Old Norse roots for their words "Knots", "Loops" , or "Cobwebs" and maybe related to the fact that he was originally credited with inventing fishing net as well as being blamed for tangles, knots, and loops, and -because of the net's similar design to webs- spiders. If Loki wanted to travel incognito... yet have a name that would signal to his closest supporters... he might take a name that fits these themes.
Or look to mythology for other names. For example, Loki was believed to have taken the identity of an elderly woman named Thokk (Old Norse for "Thanks") who refused to weep for the deceased Baldr, thus condemning him to Hel... and since Baldr's death was the prophesized inciting event for Ragnarök, Loki began it... though it's not helped that he killed Baldr (according to myth, Baldr could be resurrected if he was wept for by all). | <urn:uuid:082d4d1e-c035-46f5-8fe6-ffdf6f969999> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://writing.stackexchange.com/questions/64619/are-there-other-ways-to-tie-a-characters-name-to-a-mythological-characters-nam | 2024-04-21T20:52:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.987545 | 225 |
Former Kroger, Harris Teeter is now Universal Storage Solutions
The former location of Kroger and Harris Teeter grocery store on Jonestown Road in Winston-Salem has been transformed.
Universal Storage Solutions has transformed the former 53,000-square-foot Harris Teeter grocery space into a first-class, climate-controlled, self-storage facility. The new facility contains approximately 550 climate-controlled units, plus an additional three enclosed dock-high exterior units. Adding a mezzanine to the interior created a second level, giving the project a total of 71,000 square feet of rentable space.
It is a prime example of recycling an existing building into a more useful and better-suited purpose, says partners in Universal Storage Solutions and real estate veterans, Gary Pharo, AJ Ross, David Dixon, and Ron Crowell.
The project, which opened in January, has met with great success, they said. Not only does Universal Storage Solutions offer state-of-the-art self-storage, but it also offers a complete business center to support the growing needs of their commercial customers.
Industry veteran Dixon, VP of Development for Universal Storage Group (USG), oversees the operations and management of this project.
Universal Storage Group is based in Smyrna, Ga., a suburb of Atlanta. | <urn:uuid:aff1d2e8-2f24-4090-b36e-0cc5ee97c878> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wschronicle.com/former-kroger-harris-teeter-now-universal-storage-solutions/ | 2024-04-21T20:38:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.938098 | 272 |

Trans fat is considered to be the worst type of fat in our food supply. It’s pretty scary stuff that’s known to increase our risk of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in both men and women in our country.

“Trans fat is created when hydrogen is added to vegetable oil (a process called hydrogenation) to make it more solid.” Food manufacturers do this because it’s less likely to spoil and, therefore, gives food a longer shelf life. Some restaurants even use partially hydrogenated vegetable oil in their deep fryers because it doesn’t have to be changed as often – yuck! And the worst part is that trans fat is TRICKY.
Why it’s hard to find trans fat on food labels
- A nutrition label can say it has no trans fat even if it’s not true. That’s because, “The Nutrition Facts label can state 0 grams of trans fat if the food product contains less than 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving.” This little fact comes straight from our government’s website. It’s important to know that if you eat several servings of foods that all contain 0.4 grams of trans fat per serving, it can obviously add up fast! Thanks, good ol’ government for approving that loophole for us!
- You won’t find “trans fat” on the ingredient label. That’s because our main source of trans fat comes from partially hydrogenated oil, so that is what you need to look for instead. Trans fat also occurs naturally in small amounts in meat and dairy products (and is present at very low levels in other edible oils), but this is not the main concern.
Trans fats are being phased out (but not for a while!)
It’s true, earlier this year our government finally admitted that trans fats are a threat to public health, and they have requested that the use of partially hydrogenated oils be reduced. BUT food companies have up to three years to comply, and even then they could petition the FDA to permit specific uses of these unhealthy oils. So, as far as I’m concerned, it’s up to us as the consumers to ensure we avoid trans fats!
Some products with trans fat
Other foods that commonly contain trans fat (source: FDA)
- Coffee creamer
- Crackers, cookies, cakes, frozen pies, and other baked goods
- Fast food
- Fried food such as chips, French fries, donuts, fried chicken
- Frozen pizza
- Ready-to-use frostings
- Refrigerated dough products (such as biscuits and cinnamon rolls)
- Snack foods (such as microwave popcorn)
- Vegetable shortenings and stick margarines | <urn:uuid:e92ac837-5558-40bd-a9f5-17364868131f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.100daysofrealfood.com/how-to-find-and-avoid-trans-fat/ | 2024-04-21T20:22:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.95211 | 616 |

Some of you may already have little salad eaters at your table. However, for many parents, salad is a final frontier—something they really, really wish their kids would eat (but really, really don’t think they will!).
Leafy greens are so good for kids because they have nutrients like vitamin C, fiber, and even calcium. Also, salads are a perfect vehicle for lots of other healthy foods like other veggies, plus nuts, seeds, fruit, and beans too.
My kids (and husband!) didn’t use to eat salads, but now they all happily dig into sizable salads throughout the week. Their changes of heart didn’t happen overnight—or within a week or two. I just kept serving it in different ways, and over the years, they all ended up trying it and finally liking it. Consistency is key with any new food. The more kids (and spouses!) see a particular food, the more likely they are to taste it eventually, then taste it again, and then maybe end up loving it!
If your kids aren’t salad-lovers yet, here are my best tips for helping them get there:
- Serve a “Dippable Salad”
Who says you have to eat a salad with a fork? First, find super-crunchy greens. Many bagged salads are a little limp and wimpy, so check out the heads of green leaf, red leaf, Bibb, and butter lettuce in the produce section. The centers of romaine hearts are also the perfect size and shape for holding and dipping. Serve the leaves alongside carrot sticks, peppers, cucumbers, and other raw veggies with a yummy dip or dressing, and let your kids dunk them by hand. When you serve vegetables in different ways on different days, you may just hit on something your kids love. - Do a Salad Dressing Taste Test
Pick three or four different salad dressings you think your kids might enjoy. Fruity dressings that are sweet, like berry vinaigrettes, are good bets. If you want to make your own dressing, my Creamy Apple Vinaigrette is sweet and kid-friendly. My younger son also likes our homemade Everyone Loves This Vinaigrette. If you’d rather go the store-bought route, that’s fine too (although be sure to check the ingredients). Set out the dressings with raw veggies. They can give their reviews of each and vote on their favorites. - Create a Build-Your-Own Salad Bar
Letting kids serve themselves can be very empowering because they love having choice and control over what’s on their plate. Try setting out a bowl of greens (more than one variety, if possible), plus little dishes of salad toppings such as chopped veggies, dried fruit, grilled chicken, and anything else you think they might enjoy—just be sure to include some familiar favorites. Serve it with some fruit and a fancy baguette from the store to make it special. You can serve this as a “salad course” before dinner, or if you have lots of filling toppings on the table, as dinner itself—whatever works for you. What if your kid fills his bowl with croutons, carrots, and dressing? Don’t sweat it. The important thing is that you’re making salad familiar and routine. - Make “Starter Salads”
These are simply a few leaves in a small bowl (optional: put something on top that they already like, such as croutons, bacon, shredded carrots, dried cranberries, or chopped apples). Offer them one or two dressings, or they can eat it plain—whatever they choose to do. The point is that they see salad at dinner. Also, they’re learning that greens aren’t yucky.

Virgin Australia: Qantas Chief Operating Officer jumps ship to Virgin
The AFR is reporting that Paul Jones, most recently the COO for Qantas from September of this year is moving to the re-born Virgin Australia as Chief Customer and Digital Officer from 2021.
Jones was involved in Qantas plans to outsource 2,500 baggage handling and associated jobs recently. A move that has landed Qantas in the courts since the Transport Workers Union has challenged the move.
Here’s an excerpt from his Linked In page:
‘Paul is the Chief Operating Officer for Qantas Airlines responsible for all operational areas including Tech crew (pilots), Engineering, Cabin Crew, Airports and Safety. Paul is the Qantas Airlines AOC holder.
Paul’s career at Qantas has involved leading a broad range of business units at the Executive General Manager level across Strategy, Commercial (Network planning, fleet strategy, pricing, revenue management), Operations (Cabin Crew, Airports and Integrated Operations Centre), Customer and Digital strategy the full P&L business units ($1.5bn) of Freight, Catering and Airports.
Prior to Qantas, Paul led the business integration of multiple Mars Petcare companies in Nashville, USA and played the chief of staff role for the externally appointed CEO. Paul also played a key leadership role in the Wrigley business integration following it’s acquisition by Mars, Inc. in partnership with Berkshire Hathaway.’
In fact he occupied a similar role at Qantas for 9 months back in 2017. Here’s another excerpt from his Linked In profile:
Executive Manager Customer and Digital Strategy
Mar 2017 – Nov 20179 months
Sydney, AustraliaResponsible for the Airline (International and Domestic) Customer and Digital strategies, development of the airline’s digital and physical products including qantas.com and mobile app, customer product experience (on-board, lounges etc.) and food & beverage.
The timing of his departure from Qantas is unknown, although ‘gardening leave’ until his move to Virgin would not be a surprise.
This is another timely reminder to wear your seatbelt when seated. Holding you close to your seat will protect you from the sort of injuries sustained on this flight, when unsecured passengers flew to the ceiling of the aircraft, and then came crashing down once the ‘drop’ ceased.
The hope will be that this is an anomaly – a ‘freak accident’ in casual parlance. If it is a systemic error either mechanical or electronic, then this is a larger concern for the airlines that fly Boeing Dreamliner 787 aircraft. Let’s hope it isn’t. If it is, it will pile on the woes to Boeing’s existing stack.
There must be a reason to transfer from the countries largest airline to one that only has designs on about 20% of the market. Maybe customer and digital is his thing over the whole engineering operations stuff? Or is it his union-busting worker outsourcing experience that appeals to Ms Hrdlicka? According to the AFR, this is not the case and Hrdlicka has no intention of outsourcing because their ‘first preference is always to keep people in our teams’.
I havn’t done the timeline, but presumably Jones and Virgin Australia CEO Jayne Hrdlicka were once colleagues at Qantas at some stage.
Given Virgin Australia could do better in digital. They could start by giving us a points and status credits calculator at least. Customer experience – especially for premium passengers – will be a big decider in their success with business customers.
This could be a major appointment in determining the success of the airline quite a few years into the future. | <urn:uuid:60f17cb0-d5c8-48da-a171-2b34be87f030> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.2paxfly.com/2020/12/09/virgin-australia-qantas-chief-operating-officer-jumps-ship-to-virgin/ | 2024-04-21T20:47:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.952994 | 796 |
What is IPAF and what does it mean?
IPAF stands for The International Powered Access Federation. They are an organisation that promotes the safe and effective use of powered access equipment or MEWP’s as they are sometimes called, MEWP which stands for Mobile Elevating Working Platform. 2 Start Training provide relevant courses that have been accredited by IPAF. On completion of an IPAF training course, you will become IPAF certified.
What is the difference between PASMA and IPAF?
Quite simply the equipment is different. PASMA is the accrediting body for mobile access towers which are more commonly known as mobile scaffold towers. IPAF is the accrediting body for powered access equipment such as cherry pickers or scissor lifts. Both accredited training courses that meet the Working at Height regulations which protect you when working at height. IPAF accredited training is delivered to conform with ISO 18878, which is the internationally recognised training standard for MEWP’s. Click here if you are interested in PASMA training courses.
What is involved in IPAF Training?
2 Start Training offers IPAF courses that combine a mixture of classroom and practical based learning. During the course, you will learn about the theory of working at height, such as the Working at Height Regulations. You will also be given practical training on the safe use of the relevant equipment. There will be a test at the end of the course which you will need to pass to be certified.
Who needs IPAF Training?
IPAF training is designed for people who want to work at height using powered access equipment, also known as MEWP’s (Mobile Elevated Working Platforms).
IPAF training courses are required by anyone who wishes to use a Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP). It is a legal requirement that anyone who works at height has to have completed some sort of professional IPAF training.
If you choose to complete one of our IPAF courses and are successful, you will be awarded a PAL (Powered Access Licence) card. This is an internationally recognised certification and will show to anyone, such as employers or health and safety officers that you have the correct training to be working at heights.
How much does IPAF Training cost?
As of March 2024, IPAF training costs range between £132 and £500. This depends on how many MEWPS you require training on, as well as how many operators are being trained.
How long are the IPAF training courses?
The length of your course will vary depending on which IPAF course you decide to complete. The 1b, 3a, 3b, combined 1b, 3a & 3b courses as well as the combined 3a & 3b courses we provide all take 1 day to complete.
Whereas, our IPAF PAV training & IPAF Harness Inspections and Safety courses both require half a day to complete.
At the end of your course, if you are successful, you will be rewarded with your IPAF licence.
What are the different IPAF Categories?
The most common types of powered access equipment are Mobile Elevated Working platforms or MEWPS for short. To safely use a MEWP you must be IPAF certified which will make you compliant.
2 Start Training offers the following categories:
PAV stands for push around vertical and these platforms are pushed into place manually and they can only move up and down similar to a scissor lift.
A mobile boom or cherry picker as more commonly known as. They can be operated from the platform and manoeuvred into position. The platform or basket can be manoeuvred up and down as well as sideways, and can also be moved whilst in its elevated position.
This is normal referred to a mobile vertical machine or commonly known as a scissor lift. Once they are in position the lift can go up or down, and, importantly, the platform can be driven whilst in the elevated position.
1b Static Booms are typically mounted onto a vehicle or a trailer and are favoured because of their lightweight size and how easy they are to tow into the tightest of spaces. This type of MEWP is again commonly found on construction sites across the UK.
Is IPAF accredited training a legal requirement?
There is no specific legal requirement for an employee working at height to have IPAF training certification. However, The Work at Height Regulations 2005 state that every employer should ensure that any persons working at height is competent to do so or if being training is supervised by a competent person. PAL cards can be used to demonstrate employees are competent and have completed sufficient training to be able to safely work at height and is the most recognised form of certification in the industry, worldwide.
What locations can I do my training at?
We offer IPAF training at our Southampton depot and our Worthing depot. If you are unable to get to this location then we can offer IPAF training at your site provided the equipment and training area is suitable and will need to be checked for hazards by our IPAF accredited trainer.
Find out more about IPAF at our Southampton depot here: IPAF Training Southampton
Find out more about IPAF at our Worthing depot here: IPAF Training Worthing
We are also able to provide training at your locations also, enquire here: Off-site IPAF Training
Each of these courses will train you in how to use all the equipment specific to each course and give you the skills you need to safely operate a MEWP.
Who can obtain an IPAF licence?
The minimum age you need to be to hold a licence is 16. There are no restrictions on the size of the machine you are able to operate providing you hold the licence for that category. There is also no maximum age for someone to obtain an IPAF PAL Card.
What is a PAL Card?
A PAL card is a Powered Access Licence which is issued by IPAF upon completion of an accredited course. Employees wishing to work at height will need to prove that they are able to operate mobile elevated working platforms (MEWP) safely. The PAL card will offer the proof employees have the training required. Trainees who pass the associated examinations will be issued a SMART PAL card; these new SMART PAL cards feature contactless RFID chips, which will allow the operator to use machines which feature devices to prevent use by untrained operators. In the last few years, manufacturers have been increasingly installing devices which will only allow usage by an operator with the appropriate SMART card, instead of just an ignition key.
How long does it last?
IPAF certificates (or qualifications), also known as PAL cards are certified for 5 years from issue, you will have to take a refresher course before your card expires. If you wait until after the 5 years you will need to take the full IPAF test again.
How to renew a licence
You will need to contact an IPAF-accredited training centre to ensure you take an accredited course in order to renew your licence. 2 Start Training is an accredited trainer and we are able to provide courses to renew your licence.
Can you fail an IPAF course?
The simple answer to this is Yes! if your instructor feels that your and others’ health and safety will be at risk with you operating a MEWP then you will be required to take the training again in order to safely pass your test.
Where can I complete my IPAF training?
We offer IPAF training at all of our depots, depending on which course you require. Our depots are located in Portsmouth, Southampton, Reading & Worthing. Additionally, IPAF can be taught at your site, using your equipment. | <urn:uuid:3041c4b4-ffd4-4815-8be0-a083899e8f55> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.2start-training.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-ipaf-training-courses/ | 2024-04-21T22:08:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.970892 | 1,591 |
Agrupamento de Escolas de Marrazes
Activities implemented using 3D scanner and 3D printers
● 3D scanning and 3D printing of intangible local heritage, using Creality scanner and Ender 3D printer
The students, with the support of the teacher, scanned small clay jars representative of intangible local heritage (pottery of Bajouca), using Creality scanner. Subsequently, the Blender software was used to edit and refine the 3D model, as necessary, and some models were printed on the Ender 3D printer.
Some difficulties were felt during the use of Blender software, as it proved to be complex for students to work autonomously, even with the support of the teacher.
● 3D scanning and 3D printing of Leiria Castle, using Kiri Engine mobile app and XYZ 3D printer
For this activity, given the impossibility of being able to scan the real monument, it was decided to scan a small model of the castle. Groups of students were formed and the teacher explained what they were going to do and how the Kiri Engine app worked. The students used a smartphone to start scanning the model of the castle. Initially, they had some difficulties as they could not keep their hands steady while scanning, or they moved the smartphone too fast. After a few attempts, they managed to scan it.
After this process, the file was exported to the computer to proceed with its 3D printing, using the XYZ 3D printer. However, since the exported file did not have a flat base, the difficulty of how to proceed to print an object with a flat base arose. Faced with this difficulty, one of the students suggested lowering the model to be printed, so that the base was automatically flattened. He tried it and it worked, and the students were quite happy with his suggestion, as well as with the result.
Occasionally, filament has jammed in the cartridge while printing.
● 3D modelling and 3D printing of Leiria Castle, using Tinkercad software and Ender 3D printer
The students started by learning how to use the 3D modelling software Tinkercad and performed some exercises, where they applied mathematical contents, namely geometry, with the use of geometric solids. After observing some pictures of Leiria Castle, the students used Tinkercad to create a 3D model of this monument, autonomously and with some ease.
The STL files created were saved and later printed, using Ender 3D printer.
This activity was of great interest to the students, allowing the development of skills outlined in various subjects.
● Robot programming, using 3D models of Leiria Castle
Using the 3D printed models of Leiria Castle previously created by the students, a game was developed to test their knowledge about the monument’s history, functionality, architecture, decoration and embedded values, in which the students were challenged to answer questions and program a robot to move to different pictures of the castle, winning one of the 3D models.
The students showed a lot of interest and enthusiasm.

Back in August, poker pro Phil Hellmuth took part in Poker Night in America’s King of the Hill competition. Hellmuth was able to outlast the field of players to earn the title win after facing off against Daniel Cates in heads-up play. In October, Hellmuth will have the opportunity to defend his title as Poker Night in America has announced the second edition of the tournament challenge.
October 6th and 7th will see the King of the Hill challenge take place at the Rivers Casino located in Pennsylvania. The last competition, which took place on the 22nd and 23rd of August, was hosted by the Rivers Casino & Resort of New York.
Players participating in the 2nd edition of King of the Hill will have to post the $50,000 buy-in. Only four players compete in the challenge for a winner-takes-all format with $200,000 up for grabs for the last player standing.
King of the Hill winner Phil Hellmuth will be participating in the event this October along with Olivier Busquet, Shaun Deeb and Parker Talbot. Olivier Busquet is quite the live tournament player, having earned over $7 million in his career. The pro has earned wins in EPT and WPT events.

Many homes can be constructed with less than ideal amounts or types of insulation. Cold Alberta weather can drastically increase the need for home insulation. Make your home as comfortable as you can with great home insulation strategies.
Home insulation not only helps your home to stay at an ideal temperature but also helps make your property more energy efficient and durable in regards to moisture protection. Many aspects of a home could require new insulation installation or replacement services.

Wall insulation can installed to both the exterior frame of your walls and to the interior wall cavities. Fully insulated walls can help to increase the resale value of a home by improving your Energy Efficiency Rating (EER). Wall insulation provides soundproofing benefits that can make your home more comfortable and create better sound acoustics within the property.
Attic insulation can help improve the comfort of your home as well as lower the energy bills associated with heating your residential property and make your property more resistant to water damage. Attics can be efficiently insulated using blown-in loose fill insulation. Attics can also utilise insulation bats on the underside of the roof. This is made more effective with the addition of a radiant barrier insulation sheet. Spray foam insulation can be effective for sealing air leakage points in your insulation or for proving the highest attic insulation R-value when used as the sole insulation material. Spray foam insulation also prevents water from entering the attic space during heavy rain falls and snow melts.
Uninsulated floors can often be the coldest surfaces in the home. Floors that sit over garages or on the foundation of your home require proper insulation. Floors are commonly insulated with products that simply do not meet the requirements When insulation batts are installed without the proper thickness, they can become dislodged and rest on the underside of the floor. Utilising a powerful spray foam insulator can be the most effective way to insulate your home floors.
Ceiling and roof home insulation services can help to make sure that your amazing home interior is a warm or as cool as you would like it to be, with as little energy as possible. Heat can easily rise through stucco ceilings and leave your home, when the ceilings are not properly insulated.

Preventing online child exploitation material will be high on the agenda when Australia meets with its key security partners.
Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton will stress the importance of the issue when he meets with representatives from the Five Eyes intelligence network in London on Monday.
The group includes the United States, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
Britain has agreed to make child exploitation a priority issue, with the US also likely to support the step.
Canberra's leadership on the issue comes after the Australian Federal Police experienced a doubling in reports of online child exploitation last year.
"There needs to be greater international engagement in the battle against child exploitation," Mr Dutton told The Australian before flying to London.
"Now with the internet, pay-per-view, they (offenders) can direct material and have it live-streamed into their bedrooms.
"The bigger picture is how we can disrupt these networks."

Three men are expected to admit bashing two footy fans outside a Melbourne hotel after an AFL game.
Brothers Sam and Dominic Walker, aged 25 and 28, and 28-year-old Benjamin Fitt, have indicated they will plead guilty to intentionally causing injury to David Raeside and Leonard Tricarico outside the Pullman hotel, a short walk from the MCG, early on September 7.
Lawyers for the trio on Tuesday said they would seek to have the matters remain in Melbourne Magistrates Court for sentencing, rather than being referred to the higher Country Court.
Other charges against the men, including conduct endangering life, and recklessly and intentionally causing serious injury, are expected to be dropped.
The siblings and Fitt did not comment to reporters as they left court.
Mr Tricarico and Mr Raeside told the court on Monday they had been set upon near East Melbourne's Pullman hotel.
"There was someone kicking (David). I turned around, I was in shock. I didn't know what was happening," Mr Tricarico said.
"I took a couple of steps and pulled Dave out of there and said ... 'run for your life'."
After the initial confrontation, the duo waited for a cab outside the hotel, where Mr Raeside said he saw the men "being smart arses".
"I was giving it back a bit, just verbally," he said.
Lawyers for the accused suggested Mr Tricarico started the fight next to a cab but he rejected this.
A taxi driver told court he stopped outside the hotel and two young men got in.
"The next thing I know someone came towards the passenger side of the car, punched my passenger side window and tried to open the back door," the driver said, according to his police statement.
"There were two guys outside the car.
"One of them had a big head and was really drunk and looked really violent. He was the one who punched the window."
Mr Raeside and Mr Tricarico both denied punching the car or trying to open the door.
The Walker brothers and Fitt remain on bail and are expected to return to court on October 14.

Why is having good balance useful?
Being able to keep your balance is an important life skill! Having good balance can help you perform better at sports and activities and prevent injuries. As we get older, maintaining good balance is crucial in preventing falls and staying independent.
A lot of people come in to the clinic and sheepishly confess that they don’t have good balance. The good news is that training your balance is easy.
How can I train my balance?
It is as simple as spending some time standing on one leg. I always suggest doing it while you clean your teeth!
Make it harder by standing on one leg and then looking up and down, or left and right. Harder again: stand on one leg with your eyes closed!
The Star Excursion Balance Test is an activity used to test people’s balance, and it’s a good balance challenge in itself. It involves standing on one leg, then pointing the toes of your other leg to compass points. Click the link to get a video demo.
An Australian physiotherapist has developed an app for older people to train their balance. It’s called “Clock Yourself”. It sets challenges to help keep you interested and to make it harder as you get better.
For more advanced balance and agility challenges: here are some more ideas.
If you want a customised balance training programme, book an appointment to see a physio. | <urn:uuid:a6687b24-df30-41eb-a45f-816de9d69c78> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.aa-physiotherapy.com/balance-challenges-its-so-easy-to-improve-your-balance/ | 2024-04-21T19:47:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.955446 | 297 |
What an amazing day it was today. Non stop sunshine and light winds with crunchy snow, solid ice and bone dry conditions made it a perfect day for ice climbing. Richie has been coming to go ice climbing for about 18 years and finally we got to climb Point Five Gully and it was worth the wait. Some days it all comes together and today was one of those days. There were two parties ahead of us by the time we got there but everyone was moving well and enjoying the day. Point Five Gully has of course been climbed quite a lot recently so the belay ledges are chopped out and there are steps and hooks on the pitches so there was very little debris coming down the climb. We were moving well too - Richie only manages a couple of days of ice climbing each year but he can swing and axe and was loving the steep climbing and the positions. The first pitch is fairly short and climbed on the left with a wee step right just below the belay. The Chimney Pitch is the crux at the moment and it gives a long pitch of really fun ice climbing with pretty good ice screws and a rock runner. The Rogue Pitch is quite steady right now since it has formed a groove that can be bridged and has an easy step out of the top onto the easier angled snow. From there it's three pitches of snow with occasional bits of ice to the cornice which is avoided on the right. If you take a high belay under the Rogue Pitch and do a 60m pitch to the big bulge of ice you can do the whole climb in six really nice pitches. On top the sun was shining very brightly and it was warm out of the breeze. You could see all of Scotland or so it seemed. You could certainly see the Paps of Jura, The Cuillin of Skye and the Outer Hebrides, Ben Wyvis and Schiehallion! Other teams were climbing Orion Direct, Hadrian's Wall Direct, Sickle, Rubicon Wall, Observatory Buttress, Smith's Route, Tower Ridge and Ledge Route. There's lots of climbing in Coire na Ciste as well. Well done Richie, your patience paid off! What a wonderful day. Looks like we will get another really nice day tomorrow before a quick thaw on Wednesday night with a bit more fresh snow.

A "totally unacceptable" level of drug driving has resulted in police forensic services having to send tests to private labs, as they cannot meet demand.
A report prepared for watchdogs at the Scottish Police Authority told how demand for "drug-driving analysis remains significantly higher" than Forensic Services have capacity for.
With cases at the "elevated level", the Scottish Government approved additional funding in November, which will allow "around 900 cases to be outsourced"
Fiona Douglas, the director of SPA Forensic Services, said: "There continues to be a significant challenge with regards to high levels of demand for Section 5A drug driving toxicology analysis, which has remained high since the introduction of the legislation in Scotland in 2019."
Ms Douglas said the service, together with Police Scotland and the Crown Office, was working on "a long-term sustainable solution" to this.
But SPA board member Tom Halpin condemned the "frankly totally unacceptable level of drug driving on Scotland's roads".
Mr Halpin, who served as deputy chief constable in Lothian and Borders Police, prior to the establishment of Police Scotland, said the number of drug driving cases being dealt with was "significantly higher than was originally estimated".
He told the SPA meeting: "One result of this ongoing challenge is keeping up with the demand for toxicology services, the testing of blood of suspected drug drivers.
"The director of forensic services reports that the demand continues to exceed the in-house capacity to deliver.
"Forensic services capacity is being enhanced by outsourcing some of the drug driving blood testing to private forensic service companies."

He said the SPA board would "continue to closely monitor this issue" as he added that "work is also underway with partners to understand the demand, looking to improve the processes and develop a more sustainable toxicology service to meet it". | <urn:uuid:73fa1c37-6485-44a7-9663-cb45faec066c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.aberdeenlive.news/news/aberdeen-news/scots-cops-turn-private-labs-7134229 | 2024-04-21T20:28:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.967289 | 453 |
Ron Webster was involved in activism for more than 80 years as a member of the Amalgamated Society of Woodworkers, National Union of Vehicle Builders, the Transport and General Workers' Union and eventually Unite.
He served as president of the Scottish Trades Union Congress, secretary of Aberdeen Trades Union Council and at the Town House as a Labour councillor.
Mr Webster was known for his opposition to the poll tax and having met former Cuban leader Fidel Castro on a visit to the country.
Last year, he was awarded a certificate by the ATUC for his contribution to the movement.
He regularly attended retired Unite members' meetings in his latter years.

Aberdeen Labour group leader M. Tauqeer Malik said: "Ron Webster was a giant of a man in both the trade union movement and the Labour movement.
"He was a great councillor in Aberdeen and he will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with his family at this time."
Tommy Campbell, chairman of Aberdeen and District Unite Retired Members Branch, added: "Ron was 96 years-old and had over 80 years trade union membership.
"He is held in very high regard by those who ever had the pleasure of working with him to improve the lives of working class people here in Aberdeen and elsewhere in our world." | <urn:uuid:2d29767e-e63c-417b-9efa-7b8465e3c916> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.aberdeenlive.news/news/aberdeen-news/tributes-paid-aberdeen-trade-unionist-8600378 | 2024-04-21T20:43:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.98607 | 339 |
It’s like a changing of the guard right now, the warm weather produce is at the end of its season, and the winter fruit & veg starting to pick up. Just like us consumers, the cooler temperatures and recent rains have fresh produce hiding inside over the last few weeks, with inclement weather impacting supply.
Some of our favourite vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and corn are in light supply – the Victorian corn, snow pea and sugar snap season has slowed down, with our supplies now coming from Bundaberg.
On the upside, butternut pumpkin is in good supply, also from Bundaberg. We don’t really think of pumpkin as a sweet dish in Australia, but for something a little different, put some cinnamon and brown sugar on it and throw it in the oven until it’s caramelised. It’s not really that different from using carrots in cake, which are also in good supply; who doesn’t love classic carrot cake with cream cheese icing and some crushed walnuts on top?
The nectarine and peach season has finished, and plums are in very light supply, if you can find them at all. Packham pears from Shepparton remain in good supply, and we still have pineapple arriving from Townsville and the Sunshine Coast – have you ever tried pineapple with lime and chilli? We have plenty of limes coming from Northern Queensland, and they’re in heavy supply as are seedless lemons from Gayndah.
Apples thrive in winter and we have an excellent supply from Batlow in NSW and Shepparton in Victoria, while Stanthorpe in Queensland is still supplying new-season Red Granny.
Mandarins from Gayndah, Queensland are also in great supply – look out for those, they’re great quality right now, and packed with Vitamin C. Passion fruit is in good supply from Bundaberg, and the Sunshine Coast season has just started for both passionfruit and strawberries, which are currently still light in supply.
We have a good quality, adequate supply of lettuce coming from the Lockyer Valley, and a healthy supply of kale coming from Toowoomba. Bok choy is in demand and pak choy is in good supply from Greenbank, Brisbane. That’s a great salad right there – just throw in some radish from Rochedale in Brisbane, and Silverbeet from Toowoomba.
Good news for those who throw out the recipe book and measure garlic with their hearts – it’s in fair supply from local Queensland farms, and ginger from the Sunshine Coast is in moderate supply, too.
This week’s hero is the hardy bean, which we have a healthy supply of from Bowen and Bundaberg. Here’s a fun fact: the green bean is not a vegetable, it’s a fruit! Why? Because fruits contain seeds and a green bean is a pod which has seeds inside it. Beans are a great side dish with any meal, jaz yours up into a delicious salad or for those who like to experiment with food and flavours, find a bean curry recipe and grab a small leg of ham, chop it up into small cubes and throw it in while the beans are still cooking so that it’s also covered in the spices – it’s a little different, and a lot delicious!

In many ways, President Joe Biden’s annual family visit to the island Thanksgiving week was the same as it has been since the beginning of his presidency. But the backdrop of the Israeli-Hamas hostilities in the Middle East made this trip markedly different.
Biden spoke to the national press about the release of hostages kidnapped from Israel and the pause in hostilities between Israel and Hamas.
He made two public statements about the release of hostages from Gaza from a private conference room at the White Elephant Hotel during his stay, and spoke with Middle East leaders by phone several times, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Security was noticeably tighter during the president’s downtown visits, with a greater distance maintained between the public and the first family than in past years. More Secret Service agents, several of them with high-powered weapons, were also noticeably visible downtown.
A small group of pro-Palestinian protesters unfurled banners reading “Free Palestine” and “End Apartheid” at the Main Street tree-lighting, and a larger gathering formed at the Milestone Rotary the next day before heading downtown. A handful of pro-Israel supporters also stood across the rotary, holding American and Israeli flags.
But the first family still found time to take a break. They spent time relaxing at the waterfront Abram’s Point compound of billionaire financier and philanthropist David Rubenstein, shopped and had lunch downtown, and attended the annual Main Street tree-lighting.
The Biden family – including son Hunter and his wife Melissa Cohen, daughter Ashley and her husband Howard, and grandchildren Naomi and her husband Peter Neal, Finnegan and baby Beau – spent most of the following day at Abram’s Point, but did venture downtown in the afternoon to do some shopping and attend mass at St. Mary’s Church.
On Thanksgiving, the president and first lady made a quick trip to the Nantucket Fire Department, dropping off pumpkin pies to the firefighters on duty.
They also called units from each branch of the military, stateside and around the world, to thank them and their families for their service.
Before boarding Air Force One to leave the island, the president and first lady spoke briefly with Faregrounds Restaurant owners Bill and Kim Puder and their niece Sharon Leary, along with several state troopers. | <urn:uuid:163ef5b6-d844-4ea2-b4e6-d992babe7bd0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.ack.net/stories/year-in-review-top-story-bidens-working-vacation,34359 | 2024-04-21T21:37:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.976419 | 477 |
When we think about wellness, we tend to think of fitness classes, getting in our steps, and eating healthy meals, but there are so many more facets to wellness, including digital wellness. Digital wellness is about creating a healthy relationship with technology and contributes to overall wellness.
It can be hard in the digital age we are in to create healthy boundaries with technology, and in the era of COVID-19, technology is not just a tool for work and play, but also a connection to the outside world, how we go grocery shopping, and even a method for assessing the rest of our wellness through virtual physical and mental healthcare appointments. So it’s important to assess how you are using technology on a daily basis and how it’s either contributing to or holding you back from overall wellness.
Have you had one of those days where you wake up, immediately grab your phone, scroll through it until it’s time to open your laptop for work, work all day then spend your evening hours toggling between computer, phone, and TV screens? It can be easy to blur the lines between work and personal life when it’s all done on a screen, especially when there is no commute to signal the end of one activity and the beginning of another. So create one: close your laptop and get up and physically move out of your workspace when you are done with work. Try to spend a half hour after work doing something else, maybe it’s spending time with the people, pets, or plants in your home, or maybe it’s going for a walk or cooking dinner. Even if you return to screens after that half hour, you have created a clear break between work and personal time.
Socially distance from your devices
By now you are probably very familiar with keeping a six-foot radius between yourself and the next unrelated person in public — but you probably don’t do that with your phone. Create times and places where you can and will keep a six-foot distance from your phone. Many sleep experts recommend keeping your phone and other devices out of your bedroom, or at least charging them farther than an arm’s reach from your bed. This may not be possible if you live in a studio apartment, but you can at least move your phone to a place where you must stand up to retrieve it. Other boundaries might include technology-free meal times, or not allowing yourself to take your devices into the bathroom. Maybe the hour before work is your digital down time, or the 6pm hour in the evening — whatever works for you, find specific times and places you can commit to keeping tech free.
Set realistic expectations
Remember that it is about creating a healthy balance, not about removing technology from your life altogether. If you create expectations that are too difficult to reach you might find yourself giving up completely. Not every day is the same — maybe on Tuesdays you have community meetings after work and you can’t shut off your computer between work and play. Not every goal is going to be met everyday. Just like you wouldn’t beat yourself up if you didn’t meet your daily move or step goal, forgot to take your vitamins, or didn’t get enough sleep, don’t be too hard on yourself for falling short of your digital wellness goals either. Not every day is going to be perfect, but it’s about becoming aware and intentional about your relationship with technology, not banishing it from your life.
Use technology to help
There are many apps that can help you promote wellness, for instance there are alarm apps that help remind you to close your laptop or that you are entering the no-screens-before-bedtime window. You can download apps to help you breathe such as Calm, ibreathe, and Breathe In. These are all examples of apps that can help you focus on inhaling and exhaling when you are feeling stressed and want to relieve anxiety and feel grounded. If you find yourself getting bummed when your weekly screen time reports show an increase, you can use app timers to help reign in usage. It may sound odd to use technology to create digital wellness, but again, it’s not about removing technology — it’s about creating overall wellness and acknowledging the part that technology plays.
Between living in the digital age and during a time of social distancing, it can seem like everything from grocery shopping to doctor’s appointments are conducted through a device. It’s hard enough to keep mentally and physically well during a pandemic, but you don’t want to add technology overload to the mix. That’s why it’s crucial to take a step back, look at your digital habits, and set goals on how you can mindfully use digital technology in ways that foster a healthy, fulfilling, and balanced life. | <urn:uuid:17e30970-9632-4b06-947c-081b22487622> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.acmstrategies.com/post/4-tips-to-achieve-digital-wellness | 2024-04-21T20:43:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.957449 | 999 |
Vitamin D has been widely touted as a miracle" vitamin having a myriad of health effects beyond its basic function of enabling the absorption of calcium from food. Although vitamin D plays an important role in bone health and should be consumed in the form of food or a supplement if necessary there is such a thing as too much vitamin D. A new commentary in the Journal of the American Medical Association written by Drs. JoAnn E. Manson and Shari S. Bassuk of the Division of Preventive Medicine at Brigham and Women s Hospital in Boston discusses this health concern.
Authors emphasize that somehow we ve arrived at a point when some physicians are prescribing large doses of Vitamin D supplements for their patients in the hope of preventing cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, autoimmune disorders and other maladies, despite the lack of evidence that this works. A healthy individual between the ages of 1 and 70 should be consuming 600 international units (IU) of vitamin D daily. That number increases to 800 IUs for individuals over 70, according to the Institute of Medicine. These numbers do not apply to those with clinical conditions or risk factors associated with vitamin D insufficiency such as osteoporosis. However, consuming over 4000 IUs can put one at risk for kidney stones or calcification of blood vessels according to Dr. Manson.
Yet, because of the media attention focused on studies of vitamin D that may seem to suggest some benefit beyond what is scientifically proven at this point, the general consensus surrounding vitamin D is that more is better.
Dr. Manson is currently conducting a clinical trial of almost 26,000 individuals looking at the role of vitamin D in cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, infection, autoimmune disorders and other conditions. However, Drs. Manson and Bassuk urge that doctors should exercise caution and while awaiting the results of the large trials now in progress, physicians would be well advised to follow current USPSTF and IOM recommendations and avoid overscreening and overprescribing supplemental vitamin D.
ACSH s Ariel Savransky adds, The problem is not only that physicians are prescribing vitamin D to patients in the hopes of preventing cancer or cardiovascular disease, among other health effects, but also that individuals believe that the more of a supplement you take the better. And as Drs. Manson and Bassuk point out, the media attention does not help to disprove this viewpoint. However, the fact is that too much vitamin D can be detrimental and doctors should be aware of this fact and should not be prescribing a vitamin D supplement to patients unless there is a medical justification for the prescription. And of course, individuals should consult with a physician before deciding to take a supplement. | <urn:uuid:aef8253c-8eee-4960-b9f9-a4574668699f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.acsh.org/news/2015/02/25/vitamin-d-miracle-supplement | 2024-04-21T20:41:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.937259 | 543 |

Switched system, PI-observer, Robust observer, Linear matrices inequality
This paper deals with proportional-integral observer (PI observer) design for switched systems under arbitrary switching sequences. The proposed approach detects the existence of a switched quadratic Lyapunov function to check the asymptotic stability of switched systems. Two equivalent conditions which can guarantee the PI observers to track the state signal are developed. At last, a numerical evaluation illustrates the feasibility and advantage of PI-observer for switched systems. | <urn:uuid:b471ccd6-6411-48e2-bba7-2f4dbbc8a562> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.actapress.com/Abstract.aspx?paperId=20066 | 2024-04-21T22:06:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.876337 | 123 |

30/09/2018 - 07/10/2018
Summary what was training about:
In order to implement high-quality youth exchanges we created a team of youth leaders that are moderating our activities and supporting young participants. The team develops rapidly therefore every year we provide a training for new leaders who wants to join us. This training course is directed to young people (18+), who wants to begin they adventure with City Bound exchanges and are planning to become national leaders for upcoming City Bound exchanges.
Here are some topics that we tackled during the training:
- Basics of non-formal education and especially adventure-based-learning methodology – how to facilitate the learning session for a group
- Discovering scenarios for learning session about various topics we deal with during City Bound exchanges.
- Discovering processes that take place in the group, learning how to facilitate them.
- Discussing tasks and responsibilities of youth leaders as well as legal regulation to supervise a youth group.
Adventure Based Learning is methodology focuses on cooperation games, trust building activities and problem solving. We use it in contest to strengthen pro-European attitudes among young people and provide them the most essential information about European Union, it origins, culture, and institutions. Adventure based Learning uses experiential learning (learning by experience) and the excitement of trying something new. In adventure-based learning programes the trainer challenges a group to achieve a goal, but does not explain how to successfully complete the challenge. Participants must work to find a solution individually and together as a team, and must communicate and learn from each other in order to be successful. Participants begin to recognize the inner resources, strengths, and positive qualities within themselves and within their team. Reflecting and debriefing on the experience or “adventure” afterwards allows them to learn more about both their personal behaviour and contributions as well as the group’s, and relate it back to their everyday lives and routines to create positive change.

Why has the topic of content marketing become so intrusive in the B2B market? It’s simply because this type of marketing has plenty to offer to businesses in general, including those targeting other businesses. In the sections that follow, we will define content marketing, especially compared to traditional marketing and B2C content marketing, and provide five reasons you should consider developing your own content marketing strategy.
What Is B2B Content Marketing?
To put it simply, B2B content marketing is the production of content for the purpose of increasing sales. How is that different from traditional marketing?
A standard ad interrupts the prospect in what they’re doing and tries to convince them to take an action right then and there. Content produced for content marketing purposes is of the type prospects themselves search for. It’s also not aimed at making a sale, at least not directly. Instead it works toward:
Expanding your audience
Raising awareness of your business
Engaging your prospects
Differences Between B2B and B2C Content Marketing
It’s true that B2B and B2C content marketing have a shared goal – to engage prospects with the purpose of driving sales. However, that’s where the similarities end. It’s simply because these two markets differ in three major aspects.
The purchasing journeys of individuals and businesses couldn’t be less alike. While an individual sometimes makes impulsive decisions and is driven only by their own needs and preferences, a business usually:
Takes longer to reach a decision
Is driven by data
Has multiple stakeholders involved in the process
To illustrate the point, according to Gartner, the typical purchasing journey of a business looking for a solution to a problem involves six to 10 different decision makers.
This is exactly why successful B2B companies make sure their content is data driven and distributed across multiple channels.
It could be said that B2C content marketing is simpler in terms of target personas as well. When you’re marketing your product or service to an individual, that person is both the buyer and the end user.
Of course, this is not the case with businesses. In a company setting, the person who will use a business solution is typically not the person in charge of selecting and buying it.
What type of content you choose to serve your prospects should depend on what drives them. When it comes to B2B and B2C audiences, there are more differences than similarities.
While individuals are typically driven by emotion and engagement, in a company setting it is thought leadership that plays an important role. In fact, as shown in the LinkedIn-Edelman report, 54 percent of decision makers spend at least one hour each week reading thought-leadership content.
This is exactly why strategic B2B content marketing focuses more on white papers, case studies and product guides than emotionally charged videos, for example.
Why Is Content Marketing Important for B2B Businesses?
The ultimate goal of any business is to increase sales. The B2B market in particular is witnessing three major obstacles to achieving this, all of which are at least partially eliminated through strategic content marketing efforts.
The B2B market is more competitive than ever
According to Accenture, customer experience has become more important than ever. In 2019, a staggering one-third of B2B decision makers worldwide said they had higher expectations of their experience compared to the previous year.
Not all your prospects are aware they have a problem
Inefficient processes and unaddressed issues can stomp the growth of any business, regardless of the quality of its product or service. However, there are few businesses out there that are aware of all their problems.
Even your clients and partners need to be incentivized
The work of a B2B business is not done even after sealing the deal. There is no guarantee that your clients will want to renew their contracts or that your partners won’t stop selling your products. These types of relationships are especially fragile during the partner onboarding process, when providing training resources and encouraging communication are vital to the success of the endeavor.
5 B2B Benefits of Content Marketing
A successful content marketing strategy can have a positive impact on virtually all performance aspects. However, there are five benefits that are especially important for B2B businesses.
Increases your visibility
Producing your own content significantly increases your online visibility. This is especially important considering the data gathered by DemandGen. It shows that 42 percent of B2B decision makers consume from three to five pieces of content before moving on to engaging a salesperson.
What does this mean? You should find out which channels your prospects prefer and start using them to distribute your content.
Helps you establish authority
When you’re the one producing and publishing content, you automatically appear more authoritative in the eyes of your audience. It’s the first step to becoming a thought leader in your industry. A good place to start would be to produce a white paper on a topic you believe would interest your prospects.
Paves the path to market domination
Did you know that 71 percent of commercial buyers start their purchasing journey by doing a generic Google search? This means that you could achieve market domination simply by targeting the right keywords. However, a quality SEO strategy is much easier to execute when it’s part of an overarching content marketing strategy.
Gets more prospects into your funnel
Traditional marketing can be immensely effective, but it has its limits. A Google ad, however masterfully crafted, will only grab the attention of late-stage buyers. Prospects who aren’t even aware of their problems or are still in the research phase simply won’t engage.
This is why you should create content for all three stages of the purchasing journey. According to the DemandGen report, 81 percent of early-stage buyers prefer listicles, 50 percent of mid-stage buyers want webinars, and 39 percent of late-stage buyers are interested in case studies.
Increases your conversion rates
Of course, the biggest benefit of content marketing for your B2B business is its impact on your conversion rates. It gets you the attention of a larger percentage of prospects and moves them through your funnel with greater speed and ease. This is why you should make sure to:
Make it as relevant as possible
Address all your reader’s pain points
Show them why your offer is the solution to their problem
Use quality internal linking to direct them to your sales pages
The B2B market is a competitive one. To make sure your business is the one that gets chosen by your prospects, you need to work harder at grabbing their attention and providing them with the best possible customer experience. Content marketing is the most sustainable and effective way of achieving such results. It could even be argued that, in the B2B market, there can be no true success without it. | <urn:uuid:29a06cc4-9e53-4b77-ba87-9c169da6bcd3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.adlibweb.com/5-b2b-benefits-of-content-marketing/ | 2024-04-21T20:56:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.956374 | 1,421 |

Addressing the shortcomings of the country’s education system is the credo of many young innovative companies.
Kenyan schools are on fire and luckily start-ups are not looking elsewhere. In the summer of 2016, the dormitories of around 100 schools were set on fire by their own angry students, raising concern in the country … but also arousing the interest of many young innovative companies.
Because generalized “burn-out” does not come from nowhere. “In Kenya, only primary school is free, classes are overcrowded with an average of 50 students for a teacher. There is no individual support and only 20% of students go beyond high school, ”recalls Michelle Wangari, operations manager at Eneza Education. This start-up (whose name means “to broadcast” in Kiswahili), catapulted by the press as “the first African online review platform”, is one of the many young shoots of Silicon Savannah in Nairobi who have decided to make a fortune by remedying the shortcomings of the Kenyan education system.
Eneza, founded in 2012 by an American professor and a young Nairobi-based developer, already boasts more than 1.7 million users. The company offers any Kenyan student between the ages of 10 and 18 a school support service that works entirely by SMS. The principle: for 10 shillings per week (less than 0.9 euro), the student receives a series of revision exercises and homework on his phone, in the form of multiple choice questionnaires (MCQ) and open questions, adapted to his level of study, to which he replies by SMS, before receiving an answer key combined with mini-educational lessons. “Our students spend an average of two hours on Eneza, two or three days a week. We also have a few users who use it four and a half hours a day! », Says Michelle Wangari.
Good student of the continent
In one of the most connected countries in Africa, where 90% of the population owns a cell phone, the idea has caught on. Yet with an 86% primary school enrollment rate (seven points higher than in sub-Saharan Africa) and prestigious higher education institutions, such as the University of Nairobi, the country was among the continent’s top performers. . “But the system is too centralized around the KCPE and KCSE [equivalent of the patent and the baccalaureate], seen as sesame for employment. Students feel like they are gambling their lives on exam day and are forced to study from 8 am to 10 pm every day on their own for weeks on end, learning all the questions and answers by heart, ”recalls David Adula, education journalist for the daily Daily Nation.
“There is an urgent need for individualized support,” concludes Michelle Wangari. Thanks to Eneza’s “Ask The Teacher” mode, students in difficulty can ask, again by SMS, for advice from the forty or so teachers employed part-time by the start-up. The application is intended to be as interactive as it is fun and builds bridges with Kenyan news: a text message game developed by Eneza, called “Where is Madame Mandizi?” “, Thus portrays a greedy official who stole 44 million euros initially intended to repair schools and pay scholarships that the student must help capture. Something embarrassing to remember: in 2015, five thousand baccalaureate candidates had their results canceled for purchasing the answers from employees of the Ministry of Education, forcing the government since then to store the subjects in metal containers placed under police protection.
But Eneza is not the only start-up trying to make a profit at the expense of a struggling Kenyan education system. Another application developed in Nairobi, called Enewa (“understand”), available on computer and tablet, provides students with 15,000 questions asked in KCSE exams between 2000 and 2014, sorted by difficulty and subject. “The student can pick questions appropriate to their level. It helps to be more efficient so as not to learn everything by heart, ”explains co-founder Mike Kiprorir.
Other start-ups are struggling to introduce digital technology into a still very traditional system. Thus, eKitabu (“book”, in Kiswahili), based in Nairobi, which sold digital textbooks at broken prices (a few cents to ten euros), to 650 schools in Kenya, but also in Uganda and Rwanda. and Ghana. Or BRCK, specializing in portable routers, and which today offers schools across the country a “Kio Kit”, containing forty tablets and a WiFi station allowing any class to be transformed into a “digital classroom” of the 21st century. century.
These start-ups, which thrive on the failure of the educational institution, will they transform or kill the Kenyan school? “We are only here to complete! We stick to Kenyan school curricula, ”swears Michelle Wangari. In any case, it will be necessary to pass the steep pass of profitability. Eneza, despite its success, is not yet turning a profit and, with its dissuasive price (110 euros per year) – more than a month’s minimum wage – has only attracted two hundred subscribers. BRCK refuses to reveal its sales figures – perhaps disappointing – of its “Kio Kit”, which still costs a trifle of 5,000 dollars!
But, for everyone, there is no question of stopping there. “We already have pilot projects in Tanzania and Ghana,” explains Michelle Wangari. There is a market of 112 million young Africans for our products. We are targeting at least half of it. “

Ovarian cancer is a primary gynecological malignancy with a global 5-year survival rate of 44%. The majority of patients present with advanced disease at initial diagnosis because of the lack of an effective early detection screening test. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) within exosomes in the circulatory system are effective diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers for many diseases, especially tumors. In this study, we used microarrays to identify 6 circRNAs that were upregulated and 37 circRNAs that were downregulated in exosomes from ovarian cancer patients as compared to healthy volunteers. We validated the accumulation trends for the 6 upregulated circRNAs in the training set using qRT-PCR and found that circ-0001068 was significantly higher in the serum exosomes from the ovarian cancer patients as than healthy volunteers. Circ-0001068 was next evaluated further in a larger cohort. As with the training set, results from the larger cohort revealed that levels of circ-0001068 in the exosomes were significantly higher in ovarian cancer patients than healthy volunteers. Circ-0001068 was also delivered into T cells and induced PD1 expression by acting as a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) for miR-28-5p through the exosomes. | <urn:uuid:17159954-f21b-4d8d-b494-1bcbde954ec8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.aging-us.com/article/103706 | 2024-04-21T20:59:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.956288 | 421 |
There are many people out there who find that merely working with horses day in, day out, isn't enough equestrian time. So many grooms demonstrate their passion for horses by owning their own in addition to working full-time in this extremely demanding line of work. So what does it take to find equilibrium between owning and working with these magnificent animals? How does the successful groom manage to do it? Getting the right work/life balance is a contentious subject among people with equine jobs, which begs the question why people choose to both own a horse and work with them all day.
Here are the main reasons why passionate grooms choose to own a horse as well:
1. Having personal riding ambitions
There are very few equestrian jobs where one is able to school, let alone compete, the employer's horses. In many jobs, especially involving elite showjumping/dressage riders, the perks can include accommodation, wages and travel to some of the biggest international shows. But the opportunities to actually ride are few and far between, besides the occasional sedate hack or equine leg stretch.
2. A horse is a pet
There is a significant distinction between working with horses and owning one for yourself. It can be refreshing to take the pressure off and simply enjoy spending time with a horse, caring for it and riding it the way you want to rather than how you are instructed to. And the psychological benefits of taking a happy hack in the nearest moorland on your day off are well worth it.
3. Rescuing a loved animal
Sometimes a horse is no longer wanted by others due to age, lameness or issues with behaviour. But if you've been working with it, you may have developed an attachment that won't allow you to see that horse come to any harm. The result is that you end up taking on the horse's care for yourself - a sentimental gesture that many hard-nosed grooms don't like to admit to!
But have you thought it through?
If you choose to own horses for yourself, you make your day even longer, with little spare time for family and friends. That is your choice, of course, but if you start getting tired and run down, you may become unhappy, and it can start to have an impact on those around you. Another consequence is that you struggle to give your very best to your work, your own horse, or both! It may seem like a pessimistic view of owning and working with horses, but it's a worst case scenario that you'll need to take steps to avoid.
If you already own a horse, you need to work out what your priorities are before beginning the process of applying for an equine job. If your main priority is competing your horse, ensure you take on a job that won't clash with your competition goals. If, however, your ambitions lie in accompanying an employer as competition groom with numerous international trips, you must ensure you have cover in place to care for your horse.
Perhaps you are looking to take the next step in a career ladder to a managerial role in a larger company. Will you be happy to push your horse back in order to focus solely on doing the best job you can? Is there cover in place, and will caring for your horse provide the relaxing downtime you need from work? It is vital that you think about these things for your own wellbeing, or you will struggle to build demonstrable longevity in your equine jobs for a healthy career.
Thinking about your options
Having taken a good, long look at your priorities and ambitions, you can consider the practical side of which type of housing situation will work best for your horse. Your options are as follows:
Full boarding as part of the crew
This way, your horse will reside with you at your place of work. This may include forage, feed, bedding and stable turnout as part of your salary package. All the care and exercise needs of your horse can be done during your working time, alongside the employer's horses. The benefits of this setup are:
At the end of the work day, you can relax.
You can get extra advice from your employer and colleagues.
Your hose may be able to come along to training events.
Your horse will benefit from quality facilities.
Half boarding and not part of the crew
This option means your horse resides at your place of work, but its care and exercise must all be managed in your own time. The benefits of this include:
You can ride and care for your horse without supervision or judgement.
You can experiment with some of the techniques learnt during the workday.
It gives you activities to do during your downtime.
It can be a nice way to socialise with others in the yard.
This means your horse is not allowed within the sight of the crew. The benefits of this option are:
You can choose somewhere with the routine and facilities that suit your horse.
It can be nice to get away from the yard during your downtime.
You can explore some new areas for hacking.
You can meet people and socialise outside of the workplace.
Disruption for your horse is kept to a minimum.
Though it is challenging to own a horse when you work in an equine job, it can certainly be done. There is a special bond you develop with your horses, and this is the main reason people get into the job in the first place. If you are fresh out of school or new to working in the equine industry, and you own your own horse, you need to think carefully about the things covered in this article.

While Air Force officials have called for a bigger buy of B-21 Raiders, the current planned number of 100 should be enough for US Strategic Command, the command’s chief said Tuesday. Air Force Gen. John Hyten, speaking Tuesday at the Senate Armed Services Committee, said based on requirements in the New START treaty and the need for the bomber’s conventional operational mission, the planned buy of 100 is sufficient from the “top level.” The Air Force has recently finalized a bomber “vector roadmap” detailing its planned need for bombers in the future, a plan that Hyten has not seen. But on current requirements, the 100 number is enough. Air Force officials, including Vice Chief Gen. Stephen Wilson and Air Force Global Strike Command chief Gen. Robin Rand, have said 100 is the minimum number. Rand, speaking last fall, said service requirements could be more.

Where? Macalester College, St. Paul, Minnesota
When? Spring 2022
I created this course in part to explore topics I had begun to examine in my dissertation. The timing of this class also seemed important, as we were/are still emerging from a global pandemic that forced cultural heritage sites to physically close to the public. This was my first time teaching this class, and the syllabus was ambitious from the start. In addition to covering a lot of content and coordinating several guest speakers, I was also pregnant with my first child.
Cultural heritage sites, including libraries, archives and museums, have existed in some shape or form for a very long time. Computers, on the other hand, have only been a part of these institutions for about sixty years. Although technologies offer more efficient and cost-effective ways to store and disseminate information and promise greater accessibility to materials, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they successfully facilitate the missions of these cultural heritage sites or the needs of their visitors. Why is this the case? Do digital technologies truly have the potential to decentralize and democratize these spaces? What can they tell us about what we value, as a culture? In this interdisciplinary course, we will reflect on the impact of digital technologies on cultural heritage sites, and museums in particular, starting in the 1960s and continuing through the present, including discussion of how museums responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. Among other things, students will learn how to collect, curate, and digitize objects, write and design an object label, and contribute to an online exhibition.
You’ll emerge from this class with the ability to:
- Critically engage with the history of technology in the cultural heritage sector
- Collect, curate, and digitize objects
- Engage with new writing formats and styles
- Balance the discoverability component of playing with digital tools with the very real possibility/probability of failure (“productive” failure)
- Explore and articulate ways that digital technologies may be used effectively and ethically.
Questions we’ll consider (among many others):
- What is valuable to us as a culture? Or, who decides what is valuable to us as a culture, and why?
- Where does “authority” come from, and how does technology impact notions of authority?
- How important are objects to the mission of the museum?
- Is technology transformative or disruptive (or both) within the context of memory institutions?
- How can we correlate this research to more sustainable digital solutions for museums, and other non-profit institutions?
- What ethical questions arise when we talk about technology? | <urn:uuid:5d6c8588-4049-482e-9bb5-b6e11f593c76> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.aislingquigley.com/mcst-anth-digital-cultural-heritage/ | 2024-04-21T20:01:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.951646 | 551 |

The dryer, cooler winter months are a common time for nosebleeds to occur. When it comes to nosebleeds, there are two types: anterior and posterior. Anterior nosebleeds are the most common, and occur when the bleeding is coming from the blood vessel at the front of the nose. Posterior nosebleeds occur most often in elderly people, and occur when the artery in the back of nose starts to bleed. If you are someone who frequently endures nosebleeds, read on for some tips on how to stop and prevent them.
When it comes to preventing nosebleeds, there are some tips you can follow. Patients can use saline nose drops, spray, or nasal gel to keep the nasal cavity moist. Avoiding forceful nose-blowing and elevating your head on pillows while sleeping can also help. Also, limit your use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin, and nonprescription allergy medications that could dry out the inside of the nose. Nosebleeds can be prevented and may not need nose & sinus treatment.
You can also make changes in your home to help prevent nosebleeds from occurring. Keeping the heat lower in sleeping areas and humidifying bedrooms can prevent drying out the nose.
How to Stop a Nosebleed
So, what do you do when you are dealing with a nosebleed? First, you should sit up straight and slightly tip your head forward. Unlike popular belief, you should not tilt your head back, since this can cause you to swallow the blood, which can cause vomiting. Then, pinch your nose shut for about 10 minutes. Spraying your nose with a medicated nasal spray before pinching it can also help to stop the bleeding. Nosebleeds commonly only last for 10-20 minutes when the nose is under direct pressure. After your nose has stopped bleeding, apply a layer of saline gel to the inner nose, and avoid strenuous activities.

What is this? you might ask. Why, a basketball, of course. And what are all those scratches in the leather? Why, the claw marks of a bear, of course. A BEAR?? Yes, a bear . . .
Last week, the neighbor kids came running up to me all breathless and wide-eyed to tell me how their daddy, who was getting ready for work very early in the morning, heard a POP! from outside. He looked out his window to see not one, not two, but three black bears in the yard. The POP! came from the buoy swing that one of the bears had just bitten.
I was not happy to hear the words "three" and "bears" in the same sentence, because that can only mean one thing. Bears don't travel in packs. We have a mama bear and two cubs. Black bears are the least aggressive of bears, usually nothing to worry about . . . they're more scared of you . . . that sort of thing. But you don't have to be an Alaskan to know that a mother bear is to be avoided at all costs.
The neighborhood kids went on to explain that not only had the bears ruined their buoy swing, but they'd gotten into their trash and dragged it all over their yard. We don't keep our trash outside, so I wasn't worried. But then the kids ran into our backyard to discover that not only had the bears popped our big beach ball and one of the twin's little balls, but they had gotten into a garbage can that we keep next to the shed. And by "gotten into" I mean strewn litter throughout the woods along the back edge of our yard.
I had completely forgotten about that can. Anyone with children knows how quickly trash collects inside a minivan, so we keep a large garbage can near where we park, for the kids to deposit all their litter and junk from the vehicles. The can is sturdy, with a heavy-duty lid, and is hidden behind some bushes:
You'd think a bear would not be interested in a bunch of papers and the moldy grapes my kids drop on the floor of the van, but I guess that trash can will now have to go inside the shed. I do not want to attract bears with stale animal crackers and candy wrappers.
Because we live in the woods off a little unpaved road, we are the first trash pickup of the day. The garbage collectors travel first to the outskirts of civilization and then work their way inward, so they end the day close to home. I'm thankful that we are even on the route, because there are many other services we do without . . . like city water . . . and cable TV!
Now it's quite a process to transport all of our trash down the hill to where the garbage truck rumbles by at o' dark-thirty in the morning, but we're dragging our sorry heinies out of bed at the crack of dawn every Garbage Day to haul down to the road the significant amount of garbage that our family of six produces in a week. That way, it doesn't sit there through the night offering up a smorgasbord for the bears, who would then leave an unholy mess for us to clean up after they're through eating.

When it comes to estate administration, the word probate makes a lot of people cringe. The idea can be scary and confusing, especially to those who may not understand how it works. Thankfully, not every estate is subject to the probate process. This column will go over why probate may be necessary for estates administered in Massachusetts.
First off, there are certain legal steps that one can take when going through the estate planning process to help loved ones avoid probate down the line. Making sure real estate and personal property titles are correct, ensuring beneficiaries are assigned and creating a will and/or trust are all good places to start. However, there are some things that may be in an estate that will make avoiding probate impossible.
Probate may be required for a number of reasons. Some of these include establishing the validity of a will, paying or disputing creditor claims, addressing family complaints, paying taxes and making title changes — among many others. It is only after issues with an estate are addressed that the designated executor or personal representative will be allowed to distribute assets in a manner approved by the court.
There is no doubt that avoiding probate would be nice. No one — in Massachusetts or elsewhere — wants to drag out administering an estate. Depending on the details of an estate, the probate process may or may not be necessary. If it is, with the assistance of legal counsel, it can be completed as quickly and smoothly as possible.

In production measurement technology, a measurement process analysis (MPA) or measurement system analysis (MSA) has to be carried out. MPAs or MSAs are useful to determine the accuracy of measurements in an experimental set-up and to assess measurement quality by making sure the measuring instrument is capable of completing the measurement task adequately and accurately.
There are different methods which can be used to determine the capability of the measuring equipment and the measuring process under real operating conditions – by means of repeated measurements based on standards or real samples, and with or without user influence. In general, these procedures are also known as Gage R&R (Repeatability & Reproducibility) methods. Different industry standards imply varying numbers of measurements, users, parts, repetitions and limits.
Cg and Cgk values define the measurement process capability, which is determined by analyzing the standard deviation/precision and the bias/trueness of a measurement system. Usually, a measurement system must have a measurement process capability Cg, Cgk > T, with T varying depending on the industry, company or component. The larger Cgk, the more capable the instrument – here is the mathematical formula behind it:
T ... 图纸上的公差

We are in the final stages of one of our most rewarding projects to date.
Our team, made up of incredible staff and sub-contractors (that are basically staff), are finishing off this beautiful luxury home in Brisbane's western suburbs.
The last few weeks has seen numerous trades onsite, in an awesome effort to start bringing this home to the finish line. The painters have finished spraying out the internal spaces, working alongside the tilers who have laid approximately 375m2 combined area of floors and walls.
Our Cabinet makers are now onsite, installing cabinetry in nearly every room. This is an exciting time for the project, as it starts to fill up the spaces that have been large open areas for quite some time now, Showcasing brilliant design and selections throughout this home.
We have also been working on the pool surrounds, with the built in fire place and seating area ready to be completed. The swimming pool is due to have the interior sprayed with the pebble lining next week, as the pool fencing and balustrades are currently being installed.
The entry is guided by an off-board, formed concrete blade wall.
That has now been completed, and poured with an off white concrete mix.
The brief on this was to be rustic and to see all of the characteristics of the timber. The end result has turned out great, after a lot of planning and hard work involved from all.
The cinema room is at 90%, with the openings carefully framed and set, ready for the recessed curtains and the walls to be painted black, prior to the Home Cinema specialist to install their equipment at fit off.
Stay tuned for our next site update, and watch as we bring this luxury custom designed home to life.

In late November we were so excited to welcome Miss Foodwise otherwise known as Regula, Sue from London Food Finds, Rebecca Williams and Charlotte Pike to join some local ladies for a day of laughter and creativity. I stepped away from the AGA and left it in the very talented hands of Regula and we enjoyed a wonderful day chatting, making, cooking and of course eating.
Regula arrived the night before and although she was itching to help, I really did try to make her sit down and rest from her travels. In the end it was hopeless so I passed her the red cabbage to shred and we both chatted whilst preparing and planning for the following day.
Whilst Regula braised the cabbage with apple, I started planning the mulled wine. I am sure the secret to this is the generous glug of sherry but Miss Foodwise would insist it was the long pepper. It is not so much of a recipe, but more of a method which you can adapt suit your larder.
You will need
1 large orange
1 cinnamon stick
2 bottles of full bodied red wine – nothing too expensive but it needs to be drinkable!
6 juniper berries
1 nutmeg – grated
1 star anise if you like them
couple of glasses of sherry
1 bottle of apple juice – not concentrate please
2 tablespoons of honey (although I made the first batch with light, brown soft cane sugar as another friend is allergic to honey)
A large pan and a piece of muslin or jelly bag
The day before you want to make the mulled wine, prepare the orange by studding it with the cloves. Add this to the pan with a tablespoon of sugar (or honey), roughly crush the juniper and pepper in a pestle and mortar then wrap them in the jelly bag. Add to the pan.
Pour in one bottle of red wine, add the nutmeg, star anise if using and cinnamon stick. Add the sherry. Warm gently and stir to dissolve the sugar.
Remove from the heat, cover and leave overnight to infuse. Regula taught me that this ferment is called a ‘gyle’.
The following day and at least half an hour before you want to serve, add the rest of the red wine and the apple juice. Heat to serve and taste. You may need to add more honey or a grating of long pepper or nutmeg before pouring into warmed glasses and sharing with your guests.
Thank you to Regula for this lovely picture of her snake fritters. These are the perfect accompaniment for mulled wine and you can find the recipe in her beautiful book Pride and Pudding. | <urn:uuid:6071dd64-8c55-4fcf-87c8-8409203f76b2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.allhallowsfarmhouse.co.uk/recipe-mulled-wine/ | 2024-04-21T20:53:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.96351 | 555 |
