This article is a collaboration with Day Translations. Experienced translators tend to accumulate a multitude of skills over the course of their careers as their job relies on continuous learning and improvement. Translators who have been working consistently for years will have honed existing skills and developed new ones over time, seamlessly expanding their knowledge. The most successful translators are organised, can apply critical thinking and are great at managing their clients. Skills Translators Learn Over Time Working as a translator promotes continuous learning as languages evolve and working practices change (for example, new translation technology tools become available). The translators that really thrive are the ones who can adapt to change. Experienced translators acquire skills that go beyond their technical abilities in their chosen languages. The following are skills translators learn over time, such as: - localisation, i.e., an in-depth knowledge of the culture as well as of a language including any regional differences that come into play - understanding cultural context and the ability to deal with any cultural barriers - ability to understand the nuances of source and target language to ensure the text has the same impact and meaning in both languages - problem-solving skills, for example when the source text is unclear. Because translating is linked with good writing, another skill that translators acquire is the ability to craft a piece of content that conveys ideas from the source language to the target language clearly and with the correct intent, so that the target language sounds natural and the text flows easily. When translators work in highly competitive and pressurised environments such as with international organisations, there are huge expectations on their performance and abilities. Skills Translators Learn Working for Inter-Governmental Organisations It is fascinating to observe how translators who work for international organisations develop advanced skills that really make them stand out. A 2012 survey published by Érudit, the Canadian inter-university consortium whose mission is to share research findings, looked at 300 in-house translators and revisers working across 24 languages and across 20 inter-governmental organisations such as NATO and the United Nations. The survey found that sought-after, experienced translators ensure their client’s reputation remains intact because there is a lot at stake and their productivity is at the highest levels. Keeping errors to a minimum and therefore keeping the need for revisions to a minimum are highly desirable. This is because the source material is of a political nature and often contains sensitive information. The survey looked at specific skills such as the ability to deliver quality translations under pressure, explain translation decisions, be able to translate a text following complicated instructions, maintain the correct in-house style and rules, and the ability to fact-check information using the appropriate sources. The findings also included: - critical thinking, particularly when dealing with obscure content and when spotting inconsistencies in the source text - ability to ask questions to either the authors of the source text or people familiar with it to gain additional information for context - time management - knowledge of current affairs - understanding the audience and tailoring the translated text to ensure it addresses the audience’s needs using the right tone - flexibility to deal with an unpredictable workload. One thing that really stood out from these skills is the ability to work with poorly written source text and provide a quality translation using excellent analytical skills to integrate additional sources of information and ask questions to experts who have familiarity with the source text, while also cross-checking facts from reliable sources. This is definitely a skill that comes with experience and it is extremely valuable. New recruits, for example, may find it difficult to deal with inconsistencies in the text and their work may require more revisions than average. Skills Freelance Translators Learn on the Job Generally speaking, freelance translators have to find their own clients either directly or through an agency and they need to operate in a business-like manner. One important skill that translators learn on the job is client management: it can be an art to maintain a good working relationship with clients, ensuring they are satisfied with the work and anticipating their needs but also having regular communication, dealing with different types of requests or changes in the initial brief without compromising on quality. By being client-focussed, translators provide reassurance that the work is underway and give regular updates on progress. Freelancers also learn how to market themselves using different ways to let potential clients know about their expertise, through using social media, joining networking groups and proactively seeking referrals. Translators who can adapt and keep up to date with the latest trends are better equipped to have a solid career.

Numerous cavalry engagements during the first two years of the American Civil War found the mounted forces of the Army of the Potomac consistently inferior to their Southern counterparts. In frequent passages at arms the trooper in blue usually tasted not only defeat, but humiliation as well. The pages of Civil War history abound with accounts of such failure.

Online retail has become a popular business around the globe. This industry is fast growing. To stay competitive, online retailers should be aware of current e-commerce trends. We decided to share some of the retail trends in this article. Our main goal is to inform our customers so they could improve their business strategies. In this article, you will find: - The current market size of the e-commerce market; - The latest trends in e-commerce 2021; - Our recommendations to consider for your online shop success. Let’s get started! What Is E-Commerce in 2023? Global e-commerce sales worldwide are projected to reach $4.5 trillion in 2021. Analyzing the performance of recent years, one can observe an upward trend, which proves that e-commerce is becoming an increasingly profitable option for business. In addition, e-commerce is expected to account for 19.5 percent of total global retail sales in 2021. That is, almost a fifth of every dollar spent on retail goods this year will be done over the Internet. Online sales are expected to continue to grow and take up the bulk of the retail pie. It is estimated that global e-commerce retail sales will reach $ 6.388 trillion by 2024, and the total share of e-commerce in retail sales will reach 21.8 percent. Mobile e-commerce is also very popular among buyers. Around 79% of smartphone users have made a purchase online using their mobile device in the last 6 months. Social media is now a key component of organizations' marketing strategies and for good reason. 71% of shoppers make buying decisions based on social media, according to Sprout Social. What Are the Latest B2B E-commerce Trends? To achieve success in online retail, you need to be aware of current trends in this industry. Below we share the top eight trends to take into consideration in 2021. 1. Social media is increasing sales You can use social networks as your alternative sales channels. The most popular are Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and Facebook. Why? Because 49% of buyers said, social networks inspire them to make a purchase. Moreover, 71% said that social recommendations influence their buying decisions. 84% of online shoppers in the US reviewed at least one social media resource before buying something. The leader of social media that brings profit to online business is Facebook. 85% of orders from social media come from this website. Each social network that brings shoppers to a website has a different average order value. While the average order value of buyers who came from Facebook is $55, Instagram shows a higher result. The average value of the order for this network is $65. Twitter has a lower result. The average order value of customers who came from Twitter is $46. You can use this trend for your business and integrate your online store with popular networks. 2. B2B sector is spending more on e-commerce technology The B2B sector can use the advantages of online retail. In fact, the sales of B2B e-commerce are around $1 trillion. Wholesale customers expect the B2C features from wholesale e-commerce websites. It means B2B online shops should be as convenient as B2C online stores. Thus, convenience is one of the most significant b2b e-commerce trends in 2021. They should include the product catalog, shopping cart, and checkout options. The line between B2B and B2C is blurring also thanks to marketplaces like Amazon and Alibaba. Alibaba marketplace generates 80% of all sales in China. This marketplace becomes a mediator between Chinese manufacturers and Western businesses. Amazon is also becoming friendlier to the B2B sector. You might also like: What Is the Best E-commerce Platform for Wholesale? Modern e-commerce platforms allow for turning B2C online shops into B2B using extensions. If you want to enter the B2B sector, consider extra B2B features for your e-commerce website. You might also like: 7 B2B E-commerce Payment Systems 3. Chatbots automate online orders In recent years, chatbots have become an effective solution for online business. Why? Because you can use them for sales, customers service, and marketing. The global chatbot market has attained a massive 24.3% Compound Annual Growth Rate. 45% of end users consider chatbots their primary choice for customer service inquiries. There are 1.3 billion users of Facebook Messenger. Businesses often integrate chatbots into Messenger. This helps them save time and resources on live chats and online shop managers. A great example is Domino’s. This famous fast-food company has integrated a Messenger chatbot to improve their ordering process. With full-menu ordering, customers make orders faster and in a way that is more convenient. Online retailers can get the advantages of chatbots apart from Facebook Messenger. For example, you can integrate a chatbot into the chat of your existing online shop. 4. Mobile is becoming the primary channel for online purchases 54% of total e-commerce sales will come from mobile commerce sales by 2021. In 2017, that figure was only 34.5%. Mobile commerce stats suggest it will grow by 20 points in four years, accounting for more than half of the total sales from e-commerce. At least 62% of users of mobile devices have bought something within the last six months using their mobile phones. This makes responsive design an important attribute of a successful online store. If the design of your online shop is not responsive, you lose your prospective customers. Besides, more and more businesses launch branded apps. Let’s look at the Starbucks app. The company developed the Ordering and Pay app in 2015. In 2017, the app handled about 30% of payments from all orders. Take into account that an application for online business is one of the most popular mobile e-commerce trends in 2021. 5. One-click purchasing is a must for e-commerce A convenient customer experience is a must for a modern online shop. Many online retailers integrate one-click purchasing and one-step checkout extensions. Which makes one-click purchasing a part of e-commerce website trends 2021. In fact, 28% of online shoppers abandon their shopping cart because the checkout process is too long and complicated. Multi-page checkout is the third reason why shopping carts get abandoned. Other top reasons for the shopping cart abandonment are extra shipping (tax, fees) costs (60% of online shoppers) and no guest checkout (37% of online shoppers). A single-page checkout makes the buying process much more convenient. This results in increasing conversions and decreasing the shopping cart abandonment rate. Magento One Page Checkout overview. Source: iksanika.com There are many extensions, which optimize the checkout process. Still, you will need a developer to integrate these extensions into your online store. Moreover, an e-commerce developer will help you find a perfect solution for your platform. You might also like: 6 Tips for E-commerce Checkout Page Optimization to Increase Sales 6. AI and machine learning for a more personalized experience Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a powerful tool in increasing conversions. Online shops use this technology for more personal communication with customers. This, as a result, increases customer lifetime value and an average order value. You can use AI for analyzing customer behavior. You can offer shoppers more personal discounts on the basis of their previous purchases. Machine learning technology combines several types of artificial intelligence. Online retailers use machine learning to create a more personalized customer experience. Chatbots powered by machine learning, collect input from shoppers and give them relevant answers. This way, machine learning can help to automatize customer support. This technology also suits providing customers with more relevant on-site search results. The technology generates a search ranking based on relevance for that particular user. For that, machine learning and AI are current trends in e-commerce technology. 7. AR and VR are giving rebirth to brick-and-mortar retailers Augmented reality and virtual reality are very popular among retailers. Why? All shoppers adore these technologies. The report showed that 40% of customers would buy a product at a higher price if they can test it in VR/AR first. Moreover, 61% of customers are loyal to brands, which provide them with AR features. Many brick-and-mortar retailers have already integrated AR technologies into their in-store experiences. Houzz app overview. Source: thisisinsider.com Let’s look at Houzz, a home design and interior decorator company. After launching their augmented reality app, the company found it influences buying decisions. In particular, shoppers are 11 times more likely to buy an item after using the app. Another example is a famous home interior company IKEA. Their AR app helped increase customer loyalty. The app allows customers to place 3D products in their homes and see whether they fit. 8. Voice Commerce This market is already large and dominated by products developed by tech giants: Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant. However, it has proven potential for further growth; therefore, this is an important trend for the coming years. By 2023, 8 billion devices (including smartphones) with voice assistants are expected. For comparison: in 2018 there were 2.5 billion such devices, that is, their number is multiple. According to OC&C Strategy Consultants, voice commerce sales will reach $ 40 billion by 2022. When interviewing consumers, the following data were found: - 42% said they would not use voice commerce in 2021; - Another 19% will either continue to use it or start using it in 2021; - 24% of the remaining members said they were still undecided about voice commerce. Dinarys Recommendations for E-commerce Business Owners The e-commerce industry is something that will never stop developing. There are many technologies and solutions available today. And all online retailers should keep up with the top e-commerce trends of 2021. Otherwise, it's hard to achieve success. Online shoppers expect more from online stores. Outdated online shops with old features are no longer profitable. We recommend integrating your online store with social networks. We often do this type of integration. It allows customers to share their reviews and feedbacks. Using social sharing buttons, website visitors post your items in their social feed. This way you can attract potential buyers to your website. As for B2B businesses, many companies still use an old way of shopping – they order items via catalogs. Owning a convenient B2B e-commerce website gives your business more value and increases sales. Responsive design is a must for a successful online business. To get more sales from mobile shoppers, we recommend combining responsive design with one-step checkout. The convenience of making orders is essential for high conversions. The e-commerce sphere has very high competition. To stand out from the crowd you need to consider current trends in e-commerce development.

Default query result duplicates the options of select options. Previously I have asked a question regarding how to create a custom option in select input https://discord.com/channels/837692625737613362/1037681220487741440 and implemented a solution provided by @Omer. But now I have an issue with that process as my default query populates the options value with other options which results the same value being shown twice. For example I have a useSelect hook to get a data as below: Here in my the data will be populate twice as I get the value from queryResult and the same value from the defaultValueQueryResult, is there a better solution you can suggest me? Or else I am thinking of a solution as to filter out the duplicated value from allLayoutOptions . Is this the solution that I should move on with?K Hi @dipbazz. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: Yes, you're on the right track. The issue you're facing is due to the fact that both might contain the same data, leading to duplicates in your allLayoutOptions A simple solution would be to filter out the duplicates from allLayoutOptions . You can achieve this by creating a new array from a Set, which automatically removes duplicates because it only allows unique values. Here's how you can do it: In this code, we first create a Set from the ids of the items in allLayoutOptions . The Set will automatically remove any duplicate ids. Then we map through the unique ids and find the corresponding item from allLayoutOptions This will give you an array of unique items from allLayoutOptions However, please note that this solution assumes that the id field in your data is unique. If it's not, you'll need to adjust the code to use a unique field. Also, keep in mind that this is a client-side solution and it might not be the most efficient way if you're dealing with a large amount of data. If that's the case, you might want to consider handling this on the server-side. Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again We investigated this issue and decided to add a new type like (item: TData) => string to support this feature. For example, the user combines firstName into a single optionLabel field like this: Also, the user can set optionValue Of course, to provide backward compatibility, we need to hold the string type for optionLabel In this way, we can avoid the problem of duplicate options. Because the useSelect already uses the lodash/uniqBy function to remove duplicate options. Could you want to open a PR for this feature? If you don't have time, you can use the lodash/uniqBy function to remove duplicate options as a temporary solution. Additionally, you can see it how we use lodash/uniqBy function in the useSelect hook source code.U Hey @salihozdemir, here is the issues for a feature request https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/4880 Add Type to useFormHow do I make the object that I am manipulating, with the help of useForm hook, type safe?

PayPal launches ‘Checkout with Crypto’ for US customers Payments giant Paypal has officially launched Checkout with Crypto, allowing its US customers to pay merchants in cryptocurrency. PayPal CEO Dan Schulman told Reuters: “This is the first time you can seamlessly use cryptocurrencies in the same way as a credit card or a debit card inside your PayPal wallet.” Checkout with Crypto will allow those holding crypto on PayPal to spend it with all 29 million of the platform’s merchants. The supported cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and Litecoin. Shulman explained that the company would be converting the crypto to fiat for the actual payment: “We think it is a transitional point where cryptocurrencies move from being predominantly an asset class that you buy, hold and or sell to now becoming a legitimate funding source to make transactions in the real world at millions of merchants.” PayPal won’t be charging their customers for swapping crypto to make the payment. But there will be a conversion spread that could see it swapping the crypto at a lower-than-market rate and pocketing the difference.

Bhutan is one country that provides you with a lot of opportunities to explore and immerse in the experience. It is the biggest question everyone has – how much time would genuinely be sufficient to enjoy Bhutan. After all, it is not every day that one can plan trips like these. So, today, I bring you the perfect trip that can be covered in a week and give you a good glimpse and feel of the nation. So, let’s begin. Let's quickly dive into the details: The Most PERFECT 7-Day Bhutan Trip Itinerary I will mention here that you can genuinely customize Bhutan trips and add more days to get more experiences packed into your travels. However, if you can only spare a week to get to the land of dragons, try this plan. Also, I should mention here that this is an itinerary made from the India perspective. Day 1: Arriving in Phuentsholing Even though there are many ways to get to Bhutan from India, the most common and convenient way is from the border of Jaigao-Phuentsholing. Jaigao is the last Indian town, and from Pheutsholing, the Bhutanese territory starts. Opened Monday-Friday from 9 AM – 5 PM, it is in the immigration office of Phuentsholing, where nearly all border accessing applications for tourists arrive. Provide a photo ID, and you get permission in a couple of hours, depending upon how long the queue is. If you manage to get permission before 2 pm, it is well worth using the same day and traveling to Paro. Those not hurrying can even consider staying for the first night in Phuentsholing, which has enough to offer to a tourist. But for those short with time, a 4-hour journey to Paro (from Phuentsholing) can be easily made the same day they applied for a tourist permit. To enter in Phuentsholing, you need not have a tourist permit with you. Even an Indian number plate vehicle can pass through with no problem. But as soon as you exit Phuentsholing, towards Thimpu or Paro, there’s an immigration checkpoint that asks for a valid tourist permit. I have a detailed post covering all the permits, how to get them, why you need them. The journey to Paro to Phuentsholing takes nearly 4 hours if you’re driving, or 6 hours if you’re taking a public bus. The journey is rather impressive and enjoyable. From the sea level of Phuentsholing, you only pretty much go uphill throughout the trip before you end up a much colder town of Paro located at 2100+ meter altitude above the sea level. The well maintained four-way highway, built by Indian Border Road Organization (BRO), moreover makes Phuentsholing to Paro & Thimpu a very sought after Himalayan Roads for motorbikes in India wanting to ride in Bhutan. Day 2: Paro to Thimpu Today you will be moving on from Paro and heading towards Thimpu. But, this won’t happen before you truly experience Paro – which has a bunch to offer as well. Of course, you will want to visit Tiger’s Nest Monastery – this is usually a bucket list item for most. Even with packing a big punch on this day, you can still reach Thimpu on time. That is only possible as Paro to Thimpu is a short stretch of nearly 50km, and a smooth highway connecting two cities is moreover the best in the country, thus saving you enough time no matter when you leave. Since Paro has the only international airport in Bhutan and Thimpu is the capital – the highway moreover stays good in shape throughout the year. It takes one and a half to two hours to travel between the two cities. Day 3: Thimpu to Bhumtang Today’s journey is excruciating. Thimpu to Bhumtang is a long way and a brutal; there is some road widening work after Punakha was going on last year, and made it worse. There are some specific timings within which you need to cross the stoppages. Otherwise, you may need to wait on a few check posts for a few hours. Pro Travel Tip: Do not forget to check this complete travel guide for traveling to Western Bhutan. If you keep going and by the grace of luck, you are not stopped anywhere. In essence, even in this best-case scenario, you’ll need nearly eight hours to cover the 250 km stretch of a highway-under construction. However, a few handy night-lodge services right next to the Bus station in Bhumtang offer an easy option of booking a dorm bed for as little as 150 Rupees, making it up to you for a long and rough journey. As a town, Bhumtang doesn’t offer much to see than a 15th-century monastery and old-world charm. However, there are a bunch of hikes nearby here. Day 4: Bhumtang to Trashigang Another brutal and long stretch of a ride, Bhumtang to Trashigang, can again take 8 or 9 hours of your daylight. The route is moreover not in shape to be driving once it’s dark. But on a good note, there isn’t much road construction going on the way. Leave with the first light to avoid any problems. There are enough budget accommodations in Trashigang. Day 5: Trashigang to S. Jongkhar Trashigang to S. Jongkhar takes you back to (a not so great but manageable) highway again, with a few patches of highly landslide-prone area. The journey is nearly 190 km and takes around 7 hours to complete. At S. Jongkhar, you exit and enter into Indian territory, and as soon as you do that, the roads turn into the better state (with no mountain range at all). It’s a good idea to be staying in S. Jongkhar in Bhutan if you’re planning to spend a night there, rather than on the Indian town of Sashipur (the other side of the border) as it’s less chaotic and offers better accommodation option. Pro Travel Tip: Do not forget to check this complete travel guide for traveling to Central Bhutan. I have kept a couple of buffer days, for you to indulge in some hikes and also keep a day additional in case your permits don’t come up in time. Important tips for making the most of your journey - It is always best to get the Bhutan permits from Kolkata before the trip itself. - Since there are enough petrol stations on the way, and every day you will be riding a max of 300 km, there is no need to carry extra jerkins for petrol. - There are no repairing shops between any two destinations, so it’s a good idea to stay prepared and carry extra equipment. - Most of the roads (except for the famous highways connecting Paro and Thimpu) are wrong in shape, so we advise you to go for a ride only if you have an enjoyable riding experience.

Self-driving through Bhutan on a road trip Although most people have guided and planned tours, Indian Nationals are lucky not to worry about that. If you are fortunate enough to design your travels. Also, you should know that roads are the only option to travel within the cultural kingdom, car rental service in Bhutan is the first important thing that you should take care of to explore and uncover more of the mysterious nation. Bhutan has no shortage of travel agencies who provide unbeatable travel services in an instant. Car rental agencies also offer the best alternatives for self-drive car rental services in Bhutan. So, here are some useful tips you must not forget while booking a car rental for the Bhutan tour. For booking a self-driving car in Bhutan, bring your valid personal ID proof and your driving license. Bring Xerox-copy for each of your required documents, and bring along your passport size photos. Book Bhutan car rental services before 6-7 months before your visit for the best prices and best vehicles. Also, this is applicable for any self-drive rental bookings across countries – do check reviews, prices, and services online before paying for any XYZ Bhutan travel agency. Pro Travel Tip: Do not forget to check this complete travel guide for traveling to Eastern Bhutan. Things to keep in ming for driving in Bhutan If you’re planning for self-driving in Bhutan, remember the speed limits- which are 8 km/h – 20 km/h. The maximum speed limit in cities is 30 km/h, and the maximum speed limit in the country is 50 km/h. Also, all passengers and drivers must wear set-belts. Overtaking vehicles from the left or unsafe distance is strictly prohibited. It is compulsory to give way to pedestrians, and your minimum driving age for light vehicles should be 18 years. I will go so far as to say that you should not be driving at night and avoid it as much as you can. Bhutan is in the process of developing its infrastructure, and you might hit portions on the road where there are no street lights or markings or villages nearby. Further, during monsoons, there is a risk of landslides that can block roads, causing inconvenience. Bhutan is perfection for any duration. However, if you’re so persistent that you must go and don’t have the luxury of time, then indulge in this slightly hectic 7-day version. Have a travel question?? You can subscribe to my YouTube channel and leave a comment to ask your travel questions on traveling to the Himalayas. So, happy vacation and enjoy safe and delightful driving in Bhutan.

Carpineto, founded in 1967 by Giancarlo Sacchet and Antonio Mario Zaccheo, is not your typical Italian winery. Located just outside of Greve in Chianti, the pair set out with a purpose - to make great Sangiovese in the Tuscan Classic appellations like it had never been done before. Fast-forward 40 years and Carpineto has become an international phenomenon for its innovative techniques in vineyard selection and cellar techniques - introducing controlled malolactic fermentation techniques as early as 1980, planting indigenous grapes such as chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon, using carbonic maceration and cold macerations, and creating sustainable farming practices. This passion for excellence has earned Carpineto multiple golds from the IWSC International Wine & Spirit Competition (including a Best Winemaker award for Giancarlo Sacchet), recognition from Wine Spectator's top 100 list of 1998 for their Farnito Cabernet Sauvignon; plus creation of high density vineyards on their Vino Nobile estate. Today, this small enclave produces wines enjoyed around the world - making it living proof that big dreams can come true! Discover their wines here!

CU in the Community: Positivity Bench Provides Safe Space at Legacy Center October 09, 2023 By Brandon Kathman MIDLAND - I joined representatives from the Tri-Cities Chapter of The Links Inc. as they unveiled a hand-painted “Positivity Bench” at the Legacy Center for Community Success on Oct. 9, CUKind Day. This is the second in a series of installations in the Great Lakes Bay Region that they have dubbed the Neighborhood Bench Project. “When a person sits on one of our Positivity benches, they invite new relationships, a signal for assistance, a time to chat, or find a space to self-reflect, meditate, or quiet time to read,” The Links shared. The bench is bright, cheerful, and inviting, emblazoned with positive messages of affirmation. It charges a viewer to “own your story” and “love yourself.” The bench is more than art with purpose, as it was described by a local publication; it is art with utility. I share in The Links’ belief that placing the Positivity Bench at the Legacy Center's new headquarters on Abbott Road will have a significant impact on friendship, kindness, and self-care throughout the neighboring community. Professionally and as a volunteer, I have worked with hundreds of youths in the aftermath of COVID-19. The socialization deficit is alarming, especially in urban and suburban communities. Young people can struggle with teamwork after years of remote learning and solo play. It is my sincere hope that youth who see and use the bench will be inspired not only to “own” their stories, ideas, and aspirations, but to share them with one another. Sponsored by Dow Credit Union, the initiative was also funded through a grant from the Michigan Art & Culture Council. I must also wholeheartedly commend the artistry and craftsmanship of the designers with Parker Lane Art & Design Studio (@parkerlane.art), along with Creative 360 (becreative360.org). The Links is one of the nation’s most prolific civic groups, comprised of dedicated women working to promote and ensure the welfare of African Americans and those of African descent. Its Tri-Cities Chapter serves the community through educational, civic, and inter-cultural activities. “I feel blessed and fortunate to meet people from around the region who have committed themselves to making the community better,” Links President Algeria Morris-Sowah told us during the dedication ceremony. “I’m a mom who raised her kids without family... so community was very important to me. As a mom, seeing something like the bench would help me feel all the more comfortable.” Our credit union is likewise a proud partner of The Legacy Center for Community Success, which provides after-school tutoring for young people in Midland County. Their nonprofit also champions community-based youth substance use prevention, working to foster positive norms for young people. Having observed their work for some time, I know the Legacy Center not only accomplishes wonderful achievements within its walls; it inspires greatness in other youth-serving nonprofits across the Great Lakes Bay Region. “A bench that’s going to remind them that they’re enough, that they’ve got this, what a better fit than to be here?” Kathryn Tate, executive director of the Legacy Center, said.

The top reasons not to downsize to a tiny home are limited space and storage, privacy concerns, challenges with resale value, customization limitations, difficulties accommodating guests or a growing family, zoning and legal restrictions, limited outdoor space, accessibility issues for individuals with mobility issues, limited appliance options, and the potential for clutter and disorganization. It’s essential to carefully consider these factors before making the decision to downsize to a tiny home. In this article, we will delve into ten compelling reasons why downsizing to a tiny home may not be the best fit for everyone. 1. Limited Space and Storage Living in a tiny home undoubtedly means embracing a minimalistic lifestyle. While the concept of decluttering and simplifying possessions can be liberating, it is essential to evaluate if you can comfortably live within the confines of a small space. Tiny homes often lack storage options, making it difficult to accommodate all your belongings. Imagine trying to fit your wardrobe, kitchen supplies, and other essentials into a space no larger than a couple of hundred square feet. It requires careful organization and creative storage solutions to maximize every inch of space available. For instance, let’s consider a tiny home with a total floor area of 250 square feet. To put that into perspective, it’s roughly the size of a small studio apartment. Within this limited space, you would need to allocate areas for sleeping, cooking, dining, and relaxation. Additionally, you would have to factor in storage for clothes, kitchenware, and other personal items. It becomes evident that downsizing to a tiny home requires meticulous planning and a willingness to let go of unnecessary possessions. 2. Privacy Concerns Privacy is a fundamental aspect of comfortable living. However, achieving privacy in a tiny home can be challenging due to its open floor plan and minimal room divisions. Without separate bedrooms or dedicated spaces, it becomes challenging to find moments of solitude or engage in activities without feeling exposed. Consider the scenario of a couple living in a tiny home. While one partner may want to read quietly, the other might prefer to watch TV or work on a project. In a tiny home, finding separate spaces to accommodate these activities becomes problematic. The lack of privacy can strain relationships and hinder personal growth. It’s important to assess whether you are comfortable living in an open and interconnected living environment. 3. Limited Resale Value When making a significant investment like purchasing a home, it’s crucial to consider its potential resale value. While the tiny home movement has gained popularity, it’s important to acknowledge that tiny homes may not appreciate in value to the same extent as traditional homes. To illustrate this point, let’s compare the resale value of a traditional home and a tiny home over a ten-year period. Suppose you purchase a traditional home for $300,000 and a tiny home for $75,000. According to historical trends, traditional homes appreciate at an average rate of 3% per year, while tiny homes appreciate at a slower rate of 1% per year. After ten years, the traditional home’s value would increase to $402,551, whereas the tiny home’s value would only reach $82,190. The limited market for tiny homes can make selling them a challenge as well. Potential buyers may be hesitant to invest in a tiny home, considering the niche market and unique lifestyle associated with it. If you are looking for a property that can appreciate over time and potentially serve as a long-term investment, downsizing to a tiny home may not align with your financial goals. 4. Lack of Customization Options One of the joys of homeownership is the ability to personalize and modify your living space to suit your preferences and needs. However, in a tiny home, customization options are limited due to strict size constraints. Imagine wanting to remodel your kitchen to accommodate your love for gourmet cooking. In a traditional home, you could knock down walls, expand the kitchen, and install high-end appliances. In contrast, a tiny home’s limited space leaves little room for such modifications. You would have to compromise on your culinary aspirations and make do with minimal counter space and basic appliances. To overcome this limitation, tiny homeowners often resort to creative design solutions and multifunctional furniture. For example, a dining table can double as a work desk or a bed can have storage compartments underneath. While these space-saving strategies are ingenious, they may not provide the same level of customization and flexibility as a traditional home. 5. Limited Accommodation for Guests or Family Hospitality and the ability to accommodate guests are important aspects of many people’s lives. However, in a tiny home, providing comfortable sleeping arrangements or entertaining guests can be a challenge. Consider a scenario where you have friends or family members visiting for a few days. In a traditional home, you can offer them a private guest room or set up a cozy air mattress in a spacious living area. In a tiny home, however, finding adequate space to accommodate guests without compromising your own comfort becomes difficult. The limited floor area means that guests might have to sleep on a sofa bed or share your living space, which may not provide the level of comfort and privacy you desire for them. Additionally, if you plan to expand your family in the future, downsizing to a tiny home may not be practical. Children require space to play, study, and grow, and a tiny home may not provide the room necessary to meet their needs effectively. 6. Zoning and Legal Restrictions Before embarking on the journey of downsizing to a tiny home, it is crucial to research and understand the zoning and legal restrictions in your desired location. Tiny homes face various zoning challenges and legal hurdles in many areas, which can impact where you can park or place your tiny home. Zoning regulations dictate the type of structures that are allowed in specific areas, such as residential, commercial, or industrial zones. Some areas have specific minimum square footage requirements for homes, which tiny homes often do not meet. Additionally, some municipalities may require tiny homes to be placed in designated communities or RV parks, limiting your choice of location. Understanding these regulations and potential challenges will help you make an informed decision about whether downsizing to a tiny home is a viable option for you. 7. Limited Outdoor Space For many individuals, outdoor living spaces are a vital component of a fulfilling lifestyle. Whether it’s enjoying a cup of coffee on the porch, tending to a garden, or letting children play freely, the benefits of outdoor space are undeniable. However, tiny homes often come with limited or no outdoor areas. Consider the joy of having a backyard where you can relax, entertain guests, or indulge in gardening. In a tiny home, the absence of a yard can leave you feeling confined and detached from nature. While some tiny home communities may offer shared outdoor spaces, they may not provide the same level of privacy and freedom as a traditional home with its own backyard. It’s important to evaluate how much you value outdoor living and weigh it against the compact interior of a tiny home. For those who crave the connection with nature and the ability to personalize their outdoor space, downsizing may not be the ideal choice. 8. Challenges for People with Mobility Issues Accessibility is a critical consideration for individuals with mobility issues or physical disabilities. Unfortunately, the compact nature of tiny homes can present significant challenges in this regard. Narrow doorways and cramped spaces make maneuvering a wheelchair or mobility aid difficult. Additionally, lofted areas, which are common in tiny homes, often require climbing ladders or stairs, which can be problematic for individuals with limited mobility. This lack of accessibility can severely impact the quality of life for those with physical disabilities. It’s crucial to assess your specific accessibility needs and consider whether a tiny home can adequately accommodate them. For some individuals, a traditional home with wider doorways, accessible bathrooms, and other necessary modifications may be a more suitable option. 9. Limited Appliance Options The limited space available in a tiny home also means limited options when it comes to appliances. Traditional homes offer ample space for full-sized kitchen appliances, laundry machines, and other essential amenities. However, in a tiny home, you may have to make sacrifices in terms of appliance size and functionality. Imagine being an avid cook who enjoys preparing elaborate meals. In a traditional home, you might have a large refrigerator, a six-burner stove, and a spacious countertop for food preparation. In a tiny home, you would have to opt for smaller, more compact appliances that fit the limited space. This could mean downsizing to a mini-fridge, a two-burner cooktop, or even forgoing a traditional oven altogether. Similarly, laundry routines may become challenging in a tiny home. With limited space for a washer and dryer, you may have to resort to alternative solutions such as using a shared laundry facility or opting for compact, all-in-one washer-dryer units. It’s important to evaluate your specific lifestyle and determine whether the limited appliance options in a tiny home align with your needs and preferences. 10. Potential for Clutter and Disorganization Ironically, downsizing to a tiny home can sometimes lead to more clutter and disorganization. With limited storage options and a small living area, it’s easy for belongings to accumulate and create a chaotic living environment. Consider the challenge of storing everyday items such as clothes, kitchenware, and personal belongings in a tiny home. Without proper organization systems and dedicated storage spaces, these items can quickly clutter up the limited available space, making it difficult to navigate and enjoy your home. To mitigate this potential issue, careful planning and thoughtful organization are crucial. Utilizing creative storage solutions, such as built-in cabinets, multi-functional furniture with hidden compartments, and vertical storage options, can help maximize the use of space and maintain a clutter-free environment. However, it’s essential to recognize that downsizing to a tiny home requires a commitment to minimalism and ongoing efforts to prevent clutter from taking over your living space.

File(s) not publicly available Contribution to Desistance Research and Practice from Positive Psychology The application of positive psychology ideas to forensic settings, however, has taken longer to occur and is probably best encapsulated in the development of the Good Lives Model (GLM), and work in the area of desistance. Both the GLM and the desistance paradigm are highly consistent with the ideas of positive psychology. This chapter begins by describing the origins of positive psychology before considering its influence on forensic thinking and the role that it has to play in promoting and fostering well-being and resilience. It provides an overview of three key service settings: prisons and community corrections, juvenile justice, and forensic mental health. There are few areas of practice in the criminal justice arena quite so contentious as how to respond to young people who commit serious and/or repeated offenses. Finally, the chapter proposes a preliminary integrative framework to guide the delivery of forensic positive psychological services.

Running A Company 6 Communication Best Practices for Startups Posted on April 14, 2020 Written by Droplr Internal communication, if effective, has the potential to build committed teams and be the catalyst for propelling your startup’s growth. If poor, it can lead to startup failure. In fact, the failure to communicate and ignore communication best practices is the reason many businesses fail. Creating a communication plan and lines of communications with employees are key for startups looking to succeed in today’s marketplace. When employees have the ability to share ideas and opportunities with their teams, companies are more likely to have coherent visions and growth plans for their companies. When discussing remote teams, we highlighted the importance of the first hiring and a well-thought-out onboarding process. We talked about the need of aligning your communication to the org structure, and why you should let your team make decisions as a group. In this post we’ll talk about communication best practices for startups. We’ll take a look at some of the tried-and-tested internal communications best practices of successful startups and will present them in a form of tips for you to follow. Feel free to get inspired! Strike the balance when using technology Why not learn from those who have been there before? Kamil Rejent, the CEO of Survicate, a survey software provider, admits having experienced the adverse effects of poor communication due to relying on insufficient technology: “Once our company started to grow, we experienced some internal communication issues; we didn’t update each other with our workflow fast enough and that caused misunderstandings.” The company relied solely on Slack to keep conversations going. The tool is fantastic, still, it failed to meet the needs of the company that has grown. The conclusion: Don’t trust the tools you use blindly. Stay on the ball and be willing to adjust your tool stack to the company’s needs. Be careful of the technology overload, though. Too many communication channels are also detrimental to communication. If you decide to enhance your tool stack, make sure the new software integrates with the tools your employees already use. Finding the tools that integrate with the others will also make your employees actually use them as they’ll blend with their current workflow. Enhance your messaging with images If you use Slack, or the project management platform like Trello, or Jira, make sure you enhance your messaging with the visuals. This is important especially if you collaborate across disparate locations. Remote teams don’t have the luxury of being able to clarify things anytime, especially when working in different time zones. They need to be ultra-precise. Using pictures will spare you talking at cross purposes and will bridge the cultural gap that comes with the territory if you’re an international team. We, of course, recommend Droplr. You’ll be surprised how efficient employing images to your communication can be. Consider face-to-face meetings This cannot be emphasized enough. Unless you’re a remote company, you simply mustn’t underestimate the importance of meeting face–to–face when thinking of internal communication best practices. It’s not a luxury only behemoths like Facebook can afford. Seeing and communicating with your team members is crucial for efficient workplace culture. Regular meetings seem to work for Survicate, as well. The company’s CEO advises: “First of all, schedule regular time to communicate with each other. It might seem a bit of an old-fashioned approach, but it works. One of our company values is to ‘respect the gang’ – talk to each other, criticize but respect others’ opinions.” On top of encouraging discussion and being critical, the company goes even further, remaining ultra –coherent with its mission: “We believe surveys help to identify the important issues. So, why not prepare a simple questionnaire, ask your team how they would improve the working environment,” Rejent continues. For Survicate, surveys not only help collect the employees’ feedback, they are an integral part of the company, intrinsic to it. You can use them, or tap into your own mission statement to think of creative ways to communicate with your staff. By doing so, you’ll build your company’s culture, inspire action and loyalty in your staff, and help them buy into your company’s core values. Thank Goodness it’s Friday Following Badger Maps’ example, have a regular open mic time on the schedule. TGIF (Thank Goodness It’s Friday) sessions help the company keep communication lines open. The sessions are the time to discuss the company’s current affairs. “I communicate anything from positive or negative news and updates to strategic or financial issues,” says Benson, Badger Maps’ CEO. “We are a very transparent business, and no topic is really off limits in these meetings. Depending on how transparent an organization is, this can be a really effective way to regularly have a conversation with all your employees. It’s the best way to communicate clearly and build trust with your employees.” Such open mic sessions are undoubtedly a fun way to keep the conversation going as a communications best practice. Magnet Media also sets up weekly All-Hands meetings: “We touch base on new projects that are kicking off, introduce new hires that will be joining the team, review special performance notes or highlights like the awards the company has won… and provide team leaders a chance to share news from the prior week with the larger company. It’s really enhanced the sense of camaraderie and culture -as well as improved accountability, across the board” says Cunningham, the company’s CEO and the Founder. Let your team get to know you better Another popular internal communication best practices tactic, you may want to adopt is the AMA (Ask Me Anything) meetings. You can do them in two ways: You can either set aside an hour every week for one-on-one meetings or, like Magnet Media, incorporate the AMA sessions into a larger company meeting so that everyone has the chance to hear the responses. If you choose the latter, make sure you have a few questions prepared in advance to warm the audience up. They might need a bit of encouragement. If you’re a remote company, consider streaming the session live. These sessions are a great opportunity to build cohesive teams in spite of disparate locations! Both the AMA sessions and the open mic events make a great material for social media. You want to have someone from your team summarize what has been said and promote it on your social media channels. This will also give your team a chance to digest what they hear during the events. Make the information flow Everyone in your team has different background and expertise. Encouraging the staff to share their knowledge will not only motivate them as they acquire new skills, it’ll also help you uncover your staff’s hidden potential. What you want to do is greenlight regular knowledge exchange sessions where your employees can teach their team members. Or, consider investing in a tool helping you centralize your communications. Use Atlassian’s Confluence to help you administer the documentation, or Sprout Social’s Bambu, which, on top of enabling everybody to get on the same page, empowers your staff to share your company content on their social media. Workplace productivity apps like these can help you communicate important information to the right people at the right time to create a more productive and efficient workplace. Why Communication Best Practices Matter Steering a business through the intensive growth stage is challenging and fascinating. If you’ve set off on a mission, you’re passionate about the idea you want to implement and the change it’s going to make. The last thing you want is seeing your business idea fall flat. In the initial stage of running a business, things often get hectic and so communication is likely to go wrong or to be overlooked. But, success is always a team effort and successful teams communicate. Having good communication practices in place will safeguard you from failure. It will position your teams to succeed and you to make the most of the talent you have on board. Last but not least, effective communication within your company will inspire loyalty and commitment in your team. It’s bound to create a team that not only lasts but also becomes your brand’s ambassador. It’s, undeniably, worth to spend some time on developing a communication strategy that would work for you.

COFFEE MARKET NEWS Week Ending: 12th Feb 2016 11th Feb | UCC Coffee UK & Ireland has refreshed its Lyons coffee bag range in response to growing consumer demand for high-quality coffee. The range of bags features a new look with vintage-inspired packs and blend strength guides to help shoppers select a coffee that suits their tastes. Arabica prices lost value mid-week due to fund liquidation and spec selling. However, it rose again on Friday, buoyed by reports that Brazil’s Arabica exports in January were 2.4% lower than last year. Despite a solid flow of origin pressure from Vietnam and India, Robusta prices increased on Friday due to spec buying from investors as a result of global equities showing signs of slowing down because of rising European stocks and oil prices. Eurozone economic data is negative and there are many reasons to sell the Euro and very few reasons to buy it. However, the Euro is holding its own to some degree. Having rallied to €1.45 in the middle of 2015, the Sterling – Euro exchange rate slumped back to €1.27 towards the end of last week. The Sterling-Dollar rate remained around the 1.45 mark all week. The GBP-USD rate is in a narrowing band and sooner or later the market will break out of this range. Until it does, use $1.46 as your upper target and $1.45 as the lower range and you won’t go too far wrong. Colombia: Colombia’s export of lower grades has begun! As we mentioned a few weeks ago, Colombia has relaxed export restrictions on undergrads prompted by the effects of El Niño. To date, the FNC has sold 79,000 bags of this type of coffee. Indonesia: El Niño is here for a while. Indonesia is being heavily affected by El Niño, according to recent weather forecasts. Because of weather conditions, production levels are expected to be reduced, especially in the lowlands, with the harvesting now expected to begin in June, two months delayed from its usual harvest in April. Additionally, there remains a high chance of a transition to La Niña beginning in autumn, which could impact the Indonesia crop by 2.4%. Indonesia has a target to boost coffee export value by 10% this year to 1.1 billion US dollars, amid growing worldwide demand, say local business reports citing a senior official at the trade ministry. Expectations are that the US will remain the biggest market for Indonesian coffee, and projections are that the US could account for 20% of the target value. Kenya: New coffee growing areas? Kenya’s government is planning to expand coffee cultivation, with the increase earmarked for the non-traditional growing regions of North Rift, Nyanza and Western Kenya, according to local business sources. The target is for new growing areas given that traditional regions, mostly in Mount Kenya, face the threat of encroachment of real estates and the emergence of new economic ventures such as horticulture farming. Land occupied by coffee farming has dropped from 170,000 hectares in the early 1990s to 109,795 hectares in 2010/11. Agriculture Principal Secretary Dr Richard Lesiyampe has commented that, “The institute through the European Union funded initiative — Coffee Productivity Project — is expanding the area under coffee production in potential areas by enhancing access to improved coffee planting materials and providing technical information. Notably, the project has granted more than Sh75 million to 28 coffee nursery operators in 28 counties so that they can enhance capacity to propagate coffee seedlings nearer the farmers”. Tanzania: According to local reports, the Tanzania Coffee Board has estimated that the 2015-2016 coffee crop, will rebound by 50% compared to the previous season. Production should total 62,000 metric tons, up from the 41,200 tons produced in the previous season. The increase in production will be due to favourable weather condition and the natural 2 year cycle of the plants In other news… Dryness remains a threat to world output. Dryness fears may have receded for Brazil’s Arabica coffee-growing areas, but the hangover from drought damage may hurt Robusta prospects into 2017, and weather fears have grown in other Arabica producing countries too. Espirito Santo, the largest area Robusta producing area is still experiencing a major drought. Ethiopia is suffering a very strong drought and while this is mainly hitting other crops, coffee areas are still suffering. Colombia is also suffering from drought. Awesome Instant coffee? Kalle Freese, Finnish Barista Champion, has moved to San Francisco to start an exciting new company: Sudden Coffee. He’s taking delicious specialty coffee and turning it “Soluble” – can’t wait to try a cup of that!

For Drew Nishikawa, personal experience, a meaningful internship and a minor in disability studies pointed the way forward. Playing first base requires a lot of concentration — which can be difficult when you’ve just heard life-changing news. That’s what happened to Drew Nishikawa during one eventful high school baseball game in 2019. “My parents had checked my email and were texting me during the game, saying, ‘Oh my God, you just got into UCLA!’” he said. Nishikawa’s brother, Jaret, was a UCLA junior at the time, and the news meant Drew would be able to follow in his sibling’s footsteps. “Right after the game, Jaret texted and called me — he was excited to show me around campus.” The news was especially meaningful to Nishikawa because his journey to UCLA came with some unique challenges. Born with Poland syndrome, which left him with a smaller right hand and a missing right pectoral muscle, the right-handed Nishikawa had to grow up adjusting to life as a lefty. Although he adapted and even became a talented baseball player, he was also diagnosed with dyslexia, which made timed tests particularly challenging. “I always had this idea that I would need to go to a smaller private school because I have a disability and learning took more time and effort for me,” he said. “Plus, I knew how hard UCLA can be in general. But once I got in, I knew I wanted to go — how could I turn down a place like this?” Due in part to his innate empathy and lived experience, Nishikawa was drawn to psychology as a major, and he decided to join UCLA’s Special Olympics club as a coach. “I really liked working with people with disabilities, and just showing them that, ‘Hey, I have a disability as well. If I can do it, you can do it,’” he said. His work with Special Olympics ultimately encouraged him to add a minor in disability studies to his curriculum. In addition to providing him with his favorite academic assignment at UCLA — writing a 20-page paper on learning disabilities, which meant a lot to him personally — the minor led to Nishikawa to one of his most meaningful life experiences overall: an internship at KidAbilities, an occupational therapy service for children and teens. “I’ve mostly been working with the same group of 5- to 7-year-olds since I started, doing a lot of swings, obstacle courses, puzzles and scavenger hunts,” he said. “We’ve really gotten close — at a recent visit the kids were even fighting over who I got to watch during the group session. They talk about how I’ve helped them, but in reality they have helped me gain much more.” A new chapter for disability studies Disability studies has been a minor at UCLA since 2007, but it is poised to become an interdisciplinary major beginning this fall. The proposal for a bachelor’s degree in disability studies has been approved by the UCLA Academic Senate, and the official assignment of a major code is expected soon. So inspired was Nishikawa by the internship that he now plans to pursue a career in occupational therapy. But for the time being, as he prepares to graduate, the fact that he is about to join his brother as a UCLA alumnus holds extra meaning for Nishikawa. “It’s super awesome to know that this connects me and my brother in another way for life,” Nishikawa said. “He was a senior when I was a freshman, and we made it a weekly thing during our year here together to get dinner and hang out at Bruin Plate. It brought us closer to have that year together.” Nishikawa isn’t yet sure yet how he will celebrate his graduation, but because Jaret’s graduation took place during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, a family trip might be in order. And as he looks back at the past four years, Drew Nishikawa hopes that future Bruins with disabilities will take heart from his example. “I was nervous and even scared about applying and then actually coming to UCLA, but that feeling of doing it is unbeatable,” he said. “We all have different abilities, but you have to be confident that you have something unique to offer.”

wait that was them? Let’s talk about unpopular opinions. So you like the idea that science is a good thing and you can reason through the meaning of things and that you don’t need the bible (Christian one, that is) to live a meaningful life. Congratulations, your opinion was once considered so radical it would have you killed under calvanist law. In Turkey, Erdogan is so egotistical that those who talk smack about him are considered extremists and killed. In China, there are things you will be investigated for talking about at any length, more so if you read about them. Free speech, no matter how unpopular, is a fundamental backbone of our country. Without it, we would still have slaves, Jim crow laws and women who were legally property of their husbands. Free speech gave women the right to vote. This was so unpopular that the women who fought for that right, the suffragettes, were persecuted and killed. Black men and women marched in the civil rights movements that were literally compared to rowdy dogs and livestock that it was nearly a death sentence to speak out against racist oppression. Bernie Sanders would have been called a dirty redfaced commie had he talked like he did on the campaign trail back in the cold war. His political career, his life, ruined because of McCarthyism. LGBT men, queers, women, fathers, mothers, daughters and sons have been attacked for having the audacity to want to fight for the LGBT community using their voice and their passion. Vietnam war protesters were attacked for wanting peace, not war. Their speech was radical. Against the grain. There’s a funny thing about American law. A core ideal of American law is that the rights of people and the laws that govern are applied equally. Not when it is convenient. Not when it is unpleasant or pleasant. Always equally, always. Never favoring any one party. Never favoring the ruling tide. All the time. We are given the right of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of congregation, freedom of how we as American citizens wish to run our lives. We as citizens are expected – nee *implored* to defend the rights of others. When KKK members were taken to hospitals, black nurses and surgeons chose to set aside the hate that had been dished out to them and operate on and keep those KKK members alive. They did that because no human deserves to die because of hate. They saved lives that had been used to hurt their fellow man. Jewish doctors have brought nazis back to health. Israeli doctors have done their duty faithfully and kept Palestinian patients alive. They swore to do no harm, to heal the sick, to look past all that you and I would allow a fellow human to suffer and die over. As a lawyer, you swear to apply the law fairly, justly, equally. The ACLU defended the rights of American citizens to say things that others considered hateful, even nazis and McCarthyism, citizens who were considered out of line for wanting to be considered an equal. They did this because they understood that some day, the tables may turn. And when those tables turn, history will say: No matter how radical, charged or socially unacceptable the statement, the law and the rights of citizens must not be in jeopardy and must always be applied equally and consistently, fairly and justly. The ability of citizens to state their opinion, stand and preach their word, must be upheld in every case, lest it become in the favor of the ruling party line. When the Trump administration tries to make talking about science illegal, I will step up and yell just as loud. I’ll defend a nazi to say their thing. I’ll also make damn sure that nazi feels the effects and results of saying that. Free speech is not without consequences. But it must be upheld. Always. Equally.

We hear over and over again that businesses need to innovate otherwise they risk being chewed up and spat out by disruptive forces. But creating a company culture where people can be innovative is easier said than done. I recently sat down to talk about innovation with Xero’s former Managing Director, Chris Ridd. Ridd made an enormous contribution to start-ups and SMEs during his leadership period with innovative companies like Xero and Microsoft. Following a career-shift, Ridd is now a start-up investor, mentor and non-executive director at Melbourne-based fintech, Moula. He joins the growing ranks of successful enterprise leaders who are now managing a portfolio of start-up interests. In our conversation, we touched upon how innovative cultures are less than common in traditional corporations, yet interestingly, Ridd said he always felt empowered to innovate because of his experience working in the tech ecosystem throughout his career. Embracing innovation is a scary thing in that it can lead to some very unpredictable outcomes. To use the old adage: no business plan ever survives first contact with customers. Many businesses try to minimise the potential negative results from that first contact via careful desktop research, focus groups and committee meetings, but this often comes at the expense of creativity. Real creativity (and by extension innovation) means getting out there, interacting with customers, and learning from them. This means there are going to be mistakes, and that’s something that, culturally, many organisations don’t allow for. There continues to be the perception that failure is weakness, and that no one in their right mind would take risks if they believed that by doing so they were putting their career or business on the line. Some people will throw caution to the wind and do something innovative anyway, and that’s how we end up with the greatest thought leaders and global disruptor businesses. But it is in every business’s best interests to encourage creative thinking, and develop a culture of innovation. That means re-structuring the business so that failure is seen as a strength, rather than a weakness. “Innovative cultures are easy for start-ups because they’re born with it, but to create that in a big corporation is a lot more challenging,” Ridd told me. “Innovation needs to be built into the way that you operate as a business, but this is difficult for big organisations. To address this, what you’re seeing today is a lot of big organisations building innovation labs that are typically siphoned off from the core of the business that task employees to go and look at new ideas, and then bring the ideas that work back into the organisation.” According to Ridd, innovation really needs to be driven downward from the leadership team, and it needs to be a genuine commitment, even through short term pain. “If I go back to 2001, Microsoft was really trying to build itself into a customer-centric organisation. It was a difficult time for the company, with the potential breaking up of the company around the anti-trust trial. The leadership team kept bringing everything back to the customer-centric culture that we were building. That took a number of years to do. There was a lot of change that needed to happen, and programs that needed to come into play, such as around leadership and how people talked about innovation.” Changing the culture of a business so that it is accommodating of failure is challenging, and requires an organisation’s leadership to change its thinking from a focus on responsibility to a focus on learning. “At Xero I made an almighty screw up in late 2013,” Ridd said. “It was the first time that we had made changes to our subscription pricing, and I made a wrong call.” “When we launched, we got so much feedback on social. I remember going into a call with the CRO and thinking ‘I’ve screwed this up, I’m in big trouble’. But the conversation was actually along the lines of ‘yes, we’ve screwed up, but what are we going to do about it?'” Fostering an environment where people are accountable, but don’t feel like a sword is hanging over their heads, is the secret to the success of many start-ups. Each failure is a learning opportunity for the entire organisation, and that learning directly leads to better ideas down the track. “The great thing about my time at Xero was that the team all saw me fail and I was comfortable,” Ridd said. “I think that was a fabulous message to the organisation, that what’s important is not the failure, but how you deal with it.” You can watch my full discussion with Chris Ridd here: About the author Peter Bradd is the co-founder and CEO of The Beanstalk Factory, a start-up working with corporates to inspire innovative thinking. He is also the founding director of StartupAUS, Fishburners and ScribblePics. He has previously shared his thoughts on failure in business with Dynamic Business.

An established dairy farm near Axminster can develop a purpose-built slurry lagoon, planners have determined. Bagley Hill Farm needs the facility to meet current and future needs, and to improve slurry storage in a Catchment Sensitive Farming Area. A purpose-built lagoon will enable the farm to improve the way it manages waste and reduce the likelihood of pollution. The application, which was granted delegated approval, was supported by Axminster Town Council and the district’s ward member, Councillor Andrew Moulding. A planning officer’s report explains the application met requirements for development in open countryside. The lagoon is proposed for a vicinity where slurry is already stored. The report states: “The need for the development is to increase the slurry storage capacity of the holding to rectify the current under capacity and to accommodate slurry resulting form the proposed increase in stock.” A deficiency in the farm’s existing slurry storage facilities was identified in an audit. East Devon District Council said the plan will not be detrimental to nearby residents and that it will not lead to an unacceptable increase in traffic. The applicant has been granted conditional approval, which includes a landscaping plan.

In an extreme case, the food company Mars (best known for Snickers and M&M’s candies) filed a lawsuit petitioning the court to order Oracle’s auditors to back off. Following the initial “license review” order from Oracle in September 2014, Mars spent more than a year negotiating the scope of the audit and license procedures – providing Oracle with more than 233,000 pages of documentation, at its own expense. Mars said the burden of the audit was far out of proportion with the requirements of the contract. Mars dropped the lawsuit in December 2015—indicating that it ultimately reached a settlement. In another license dispute that bubbled over into court, SAP sought $600 million from beverage conglomerate AB InBev for “indirect access” to its systems via interfaces with other software. In a recently announced settlement, the parties appear to have agreed to a much lower number. While business leaders would prefer to keep license disputes out of court, these cases are reminders that software audits, however routine, have the potential to turn ugly. Today, more than two-thirds of businesses receive at least one audit request each year, according to Gartner, and some organizations report that they’ve been audited by as many as four different vendors in the same 12-month period. “Software vendors don’t audit randomly,” says Craig Guarente, CEO of Palisade Compliance, an independent compliance advisory company. “These audits generate huge amounts of revenue for them. If you’re being audited, it’s because they think there’s money.” And there usually is. Software companies want to ensure that businesses aren’t pirating software, exploiting single-user software, or infringing on copyrights, for example—all legitimate interests. Vague language in many contracts and “soft” interpretations of licensing, however, make it easy for vendors to nail customers for non-compliance. In fact, 75 percent of enterprises are found to be out of compliance with their software contracts, and 20 percent of them end up paying a whopping $1 million or more in license true-ups, according to a report from software asset management company Flexera. “[Software vendors] purposely make [audits] complicated to manage and expensive,” says Robert Scott, managing partner at law firm Scott & Scott. “They prey on ambiguity and make it so difficult to be a customer from a compliance burden perspective.” When vendor software audits turn ugly and worst-case scenarios become a reality, CIOs need a game plan to minimize the damage. Here’s where to start. Barry Sookman, senior partner with law firm McCarthy Tetrault, represented a business in the midst of a software audit during which its vendor claimed that it was owed tens of millions of dollars. After performing its own internal audit, the business found a significant discrepancy between the numbers. “We did [an audit] based on our interpretation of the methodology that was required under the license and found that maybe there were a couple of thousands of dollars that were owed,” he says. Performing an internal audit—ideally prior to the start of the vendor’s audit—helps determine a baseline for what to expect, says Martin Thompson, CEO and founder of the Campaign for Clear Licensing and The ITAM Review. “If you have a high-profile vendor that’s notorious for auditing, you need to nail down which of their products you have and how these products are licensed,” he says. This exercise gives you an indication of how you’re compliant or not—information that you can use to build your case during settlement negotiations, he adds. When you perform the internal audit, it’s important that you use the same processes and tools that the auditors will use, whenever possible, Scott says. Because many software license disputes center on the quantity of deployments, the data you use to arrive at analyses should be the same. Never let an auditor’s report go unchallenged, Palisade’s Guarente says. Look for discrepancies that you can use to build your case to negate or lower the settlement. Very rarely will the report coincide with your own audit findings. Guerente says he’s seen instances in which customers have reduced their settlement by up to 90 percent by challenging the auditors’ findings. “There’s no incentive for vendors to do audits really well. If they screw up an audit and give you bad information, it costs you more money, which benefits them,” he says. In particular, pay attention to counting, Scott recommends. Look for assumptions they have made in developing their analysis and what rules were applied in counting things like users or processors. “You could count up the deployments on a product in a number of different ways. Did they count it in a way that yields the least amount of compliance or the most?” he says. These mistakes might manifest in what wasn’t counted too; take note of that and any licensing language that you can interpret differently, Guerente says. Poking holes in their interpretations, methods, and findings will impact your settlement’s bottom line. In a recent case Scott litigated, the client failed to demonstrate in writing all of its objections to the audit findings, which the judge found improper. The judge’s position, Scott said, was that if someone accuses you of having compliance gaps, it’s your obligation to document your rebuttal. Taking control of settlement negotiations and putting your rebuttal in writing is key to getting what you want, Scott says. “Where most CIOs get bogged down is in pinpointing what’s wrong about the audit report instead of devising their own affirmative count and proposed resolution,” he says. “In these negotiations, information asymmetry and the burden of proof work against the target and in favor of the vendor. You need to take the reins, calculate your numbers, and tell them what’s wrong with what they did. Put your numbers on the table and lay out your proposal.” You might acknowledge, for example, that you disagree with their numbers with the exception of X, Y, and Z. You found that those pieces totaled this amount, so you’re offering that figure to resolve the issue. Once you reach a settlement, shift gears to focus on protecting the organization in the future, Thompson says. This includes negotiating an audit forbearance, typically of one to three years, during which the vendor agrees not to audit you. You also want to rectify any ambiguity in your contract, Scott adds. “A lot of cases now are turning on geographic scope where licenses are limited to the United States, but the software or feature has been installed overseas without knowing that there’s a restriction,” he says. “You need to request revisions to your contract to reflect your use case in instances where the contract doesn’t permit it.” Other areas where you might want to propose amendments include: under what circumstances the vendor can audit you; what the effects of those audits could be; and requesting a change from an unfettered right to audit every year to auditing only if they have reasonable suspicion to do so, Scott says. This is also an appropriate time to negotiate clauses for price protection, the circumstances under which the vendor can turn off the service, and who pays if a data breach occurs, for example. If aspects of the deal are one-sided, this is the time to negotiate changes, Scott says. “You want to create a more balanced relationship where there’s some give and take. When you settle a current deal, you want to be thinking about avoiding the next dispute.” Throughout the audit process, CIOs need to remember that vendors want to settle and, in a majority of cases, do, Sookman says. No one wants to resort to litigation. “The key is information and finding ways to chip away at [the auditors’] arguments, the audit findings, and the interpretation of the licenses,” he says. “These are all things that can really help to bring down a scary settlement.” "*" indicates required fields Software Asset Management is a business practice that involves managing and optimising the life cycle of software within an organisation.

These vegetarian sesame chickpea meatballs are so easy to make and full of flavor. This simple recipe is perfect to meal prep for the week and naturally gluten free. These meatballs are healthy and can easily be made vegan! I’ve been really obsessed with sesame turkey meatballs recently, but I wanted a vegetarian version so I opted for some sesame chickpea meatballs instead! If you have already tried my sesame cauliflower or sesame noodles, you’re going to love this recipe. It’s incredibly easy to make, perfect for a simple family dinner or meal prep recipe if you’re only cooking for one! I love to serve these with rice or right rice for extra protein, plus a veggie like broccoli or green beans. This high protein vegan friendly recipe is a fun and creative way to get more beans into your diet! Try my sweet potato falafel next! Vegetarian meatballs can be made from a whole host of things. My lentil meatballs are delicious with spaghetti, but vegan meatballs can also be made from walnuts, mushrooms or even a plant-based meat substitute. For this recipe, you’ll need a few simple, pantry staple ingredients. Chickpeas. You just need one can of chickpeas which will make up the base of this recipe. They’ll add a good serving of both fiber and protein which make these a really filling recipe. Eggs. Two eggs will help bind all of the ingredients together since vegetarian meatballs can easily fall apart. The eggs also add some more protein since this recipe is totally meatless! Breadcrumbs. I used plain gluten free breadcrumbs, but any kind of plain breadcrumb will work. I do not recommend any Italian style breadcrumbs since this is more of an Asian recipe. Cilantro. This is optional, but the cilantro adds so much flavor to the meatballs before they simmer with the sauce. If you have a cilantro aversion, you can definitely leave this out! Sesame sauce. We all know I love sesame anything. This simple sesame sauce was inspired by my sesame chickpeas, but with a few changes. It has a base of soy sauce or tamari, sesame oil, chili paste and sesame seeds. How to make chickpea meatballs Step 1: Add all ingredients for the meatballs to a food processor. Pulse until everything is well combined and the chickpeas are mostly broken up. Step 2: Use a small cookie scoop or a spoon and roll the batter into 1 tablespoon meatballs. Step 3: Bake for about 10 minutes just to help the meatballs set. Meanwhile, whisk together all ingredients for the sauce. Step 4: Remove from the oven and add to a pan on the stove. Once hot, pour the sauce on top and let simmer until it thickens. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Step 5: Serve with rice, cauliflower rice, right rice and a veggie of choice! I love broccoli but green beans or asparagus would also be delicious. Make them vegan! This recipe does call for 2 eggs, but you can make these chickpea meatballs vegan! The eggs are included to help bind all of the ingredients together, but you can instead use two flax “eggs” or a store bought egg replacer. To make the flax eggs, you want to whisk together 2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds or flax meal plus 6 tablespoons of water. Let that sit until it’s thick, then add to the recipe as usual! Frequently asked questions Do they keep? These chickpea meatballs store well in the fridge for 3-5 days. I suggest reheating them on the stove or in the microwave for best results. They may firm up a bit as they sit, so adding a splash of veggie broth to add some moisture will really help. Can you freeze vegetarian meatballs? Yes! These can definitely be frozen. You can freeze before or after adding the sauce. If you freeze before, you’ll want to bake them, then let them cool and freeze. When you’re ready to eat, let them defrost, make the sauce, then simmer on the stove with the sauce until warm to the center. If you freeze after adding the sauce, just let them cool and freeze in a freezer safe bag or container. You may want to make extra sauce to simmer with the meatballs when they’re frozen, but they’ll still be delicious! Should I bake or fry meatballs? I prefer to bake meatballs, whether they are vegan, vegetarian or made with regular meat. I find they are less likely to fall apart when baked, which is especially true of a vegetarian version. For this recipe, we’ll be baking then frying lightly before letting them simmer in the sauce. This will allow the texture to hold up but also give them a delicious crispy coating while the sauce simmers into the sauce. More chickpea recipes you’ll love!

Dimensions: 30 inches wide, 36 inches tall Inkjet on matte paper, printed on both sides Work displayed here as a diptych Artist's narrative: Letter 174 is addressed to Paul Laurence Dunbar sent from his dear family friend H.A. Tobey. Toward the end of his life, Dunbar struggled to cope with his tuberculosis and turned to alcohol to ease his pain. As his condition worsened, Tobey began to worry about him and wrote him this moving letter of optimism expressing his sympathy regarding Paul living with a painful and deadly disease. The mirroring is showing the side effects of the disease and complications it causes to the spine and nervous system. Having the visual spread outward all throughout the page and enclosing the type further conveys how tuberculosis was taking over his body. Watercolor combined with digital illustrations created an overall feeling of being nervous and desolate — similar to the emotions of Dunbar in 1902 battling tuberculosis. The poster sheds light on the physical and mental struggles Dunbar faced in his medical condition. It shows the undeniable past experiences that have led up to this feeling of distress. The time period in which Dunbar lived and the tone of the letter’s message influenced the type palette choices of an old face and humanistic lineale. Dupincel (oldface) was designed by Rodrigo Saiani; Laca (humanistic lineal) was designed by Joana Correia.

The privacy-focused search engine, DuckDuckGo, reportedly served over 100 million search queries for the first time. Google‘s dominance in the search engine market is undeniable. As of December 2020, the company owned 87.81 percent of the search engine market share in the United States. Meanwhile, the closest competitors, Bing and Yahoo!, have 6.45 and 3.05 percent, respectively. DuckDuckGo is the fourth most popular in the country with a measly 2.3 percent market share. Yet, the privacy-focused search engine has continued to grow since it was launched in 2008. On January 11, 2021, DuckDuckGo reportedly served 102,251,307 search queries, according to the traffic page. That’s the first time the search engine has surpassed the 100 million query milestone. DuckDuckGo to Reach 1 Billion Queries Per Day in Six Years? DuckDuckGo’s 100 million searches in a single day are modest compared with Google’s numbers. While the search giant has not made search volume public, HubSpot estimates that it serves over 5 billion searches per day. So, DuckDuckGo is still not a serious challenger to Google’s dominance. However, the search engine’s modest number is not necessarily a bad thing, according to experts. This is especially true because DuckDuckGo has carved a niche for itself among privacy-minded internet users. An editor for Search Engine Land, George Nguyen wrote: “Pressure over consumer privacy has prompted Apple and Google to block third-party cookies from tracking users across the web. That same focus on privacy has also helped propel DuckDuckGo past 100 million searches in a single day.” If the privacy-focused search engine maintains its current exponential growth, it’ll reach 1 billion queries per day between 2026 and 2027. As far as market shares go, DuckDuckGo is still miles behind Google. So, it’s unlikely that SEOs would start optimizing for non-Google search engines. However, it’s gradually closing in on both Yahoo! and Bing. “So a future in which it is as much a part of the conversation as Bing may not be that far off,” Nguyen concluded.

One would think living through a pandemic would push the fashionistas of the world to put a pause on luxury spending. Well, it turns out that may have been the wrong way of thinking. Confused? Me too. The aspirational hypebeasts aren’t going anywhere, and they’re changing the way we shop luxury goods. The CEO and president of RIMOWA, Alexandre Arnault, has put some context around how luxury goods will evolve. (Ok, I lied. After having checked his Insta, he’s now moved on to Tiffany & Co. as of late!) Old Luxury | New Luxury | • Defined by price point | • Defined by knowledge | • Aspiration is about price | • Aspiration is about cultural value | • Items are special because they’re exclusive to a certain set of people | • Items are special because they’re unique to the individual | • Status is demonstrated by ownership of luxury items | • Status is demonstrated by access to cultures represented by luxury items | • Luxury is something that can be bought | • Luxury is a dynamic lifestyle that requires participation | • Physical stores are the truest manifestation of a luxury brand | • A brand’s identity and values must be felt in digital and physical platforms | • Value is tied solely to artisanal manufacturing and a brand’s provenance | • Value is tied to artful ideas executed at high level | • Pieces customized to a client’s tastes | • Pieces personalized to a client’s identity | If old luxury is about belonging to a certain class and dressing the part, new luxury is about deconstructing these tropes to create more contemporary identities. So, what does that mean for luxury shoppers, high-end retailers, and bougie brands? It means people buy because they want to be a part of something deeper; something more meaningful—a culture they possibly weren’t born into, but instead, want to be a part of. This all makes sense to me—I get it, I see it, I understand it. I’m a millennial. Ask a Gen Z if this makes sense to them and they’ll likely tell you this is all they know. They’ll tell you this is the way it’s always been. Ask the boomers and they’ll roll their eyes and tell you luxury items are for multi-millionaires. Luxury is no longer about a price point; it’s about relevance. So, who has this figured out? Who’s selling a lifestyle of culture and careful artisan craftsmanship? The most relevant component to customers is the alignment of luxury and wellbeing, which has proven a great pandemic-driven form of “comfort consumerism”.

Anthropologist: Jason De Leon Anthropologist: Jason De Leon Jason De Leon is a 2013 Emerging Explorer who uses anthropology to document and study migration between Mexico and the United States. 5 - 12+ Anthropology, Archaeology, Geography, Human Geography Jason De Leon is a 2013 Emerging Explorer who uses anthropology to document and study human migration between Mexico and the United States. Jason directs the Undocumented Migration Project, a program to “collect, catalogue, and interpret nearly 10,000 objects left in the desert by migrants making the treacherous, undocumented border crossing from Mexico into the United States.” “Migrants may shed objects to lighten their exhausting load, to evade border-patrol agents, or to blend in after reaching a U.S. city,” says National Geographic’s profile of Jason. Jason says that these objects become artifacts, revealing clues about how and why people embark on such a dangerous journey. Growing up near the Mexican border around McAllen, Texas, Jason was always aware of immigration. “I remember seeing people swimming across the Rio Grande, and being intrigued, confused about this sort of stuff.” Information about immigration “was always around,” Jason says, “but I never thought about it as a line of research until much, much later.” Jason earned his undergraduate degree from the University of California at Los Angeles, and his PhD from Penn State. His dissertation was on the lithic (Stone Age) tools found at the ancient Olmec site of San Lorenzo in the modern state of Veracruz, Mexico. Interacting with other archaeologists and workers, he discovered an entirely new area of study that used his training in archaeology and his interest in the human spirit. “I worked in Mexico for many, many years as an archaeologist . . . Many people I got to know in that process were local people from rural, working-class or impoverished communities who were getting paid by local archaeologists to work on these excavations. “One of the tragic jokes I have now is that all Mesoamerican archaeologists have gotten tenure on the backs of migrants, because work on these excavations [is done by local Mexicans] . . . In [the Mexican states of] Chiapas, Oaxaca, there is a lot of great archaeology, and there’s also some of the poorest places in Mexico. “These people who are working on these projects are migrating back-and-forth. I spent years digging with these guys and women who would tell me stories about trying to cross the river, almost dying. “I realized,” Jason says, “I had some pretty naive ideas about what immigration looked like. So, I decided I wanted to work on border-crossing stuff.” Jason remembers a friend and fellow archaeologist making an off-hand comment one night about migrants leaving enough debris in the Arizona desert that “some weirdo archaeologist could do something with it.” “I am the weirdo! Here was a way to use archaeological approaches to understand this totally politicized, mysterious process.” MOST EXCITING PART OF YOUR WORK “I love students . . . I’ve been truly inspired by my students. Seeing them grow, learn, bridge their interest in science and social issues. That, for me, is really exciting. “Most importantly, though, it’s talking to people and hearing their stories, and trying to help provide them with a voice. I’m really inspired by migrants.” MOST DEMANDING PART OF YOUR WORK Jason identifies two consistent obstacles in his work. “It’s really hard to always wear the scientist hat . . . It can be really hard to sit down and say ‘OK, now I’m going to theorize about someone’s death’. . . I want to be respectful to the dead, I want to be respectful to myself as a human being, but at the same time the one thing I might be best at is trying to [introduce] that to an academic audience.” “And also,” Jason says, “I’m super lazy! I’d rather be watching ‘Law and Order’ . . . than hiking in the Arizona desert.” HOW DO YOU DEFINE GEOGRAPHY? “Geography is a way for us to think about how we engage with space and our place in the world.” Jason’s work investigates the intersection of physical geography, cultural geography, and archaeology. One of the ways he examines this intersection is by identifying different stakeholders in cross-border migration. The Mexican and American governments, American employers, and above all the migrants themselves are often considered in discussions about border security and immigration. The role of manufacturers, however, is rarely acknowledged. “The stuff that we have, that we use on a daily basis, tells us a lot about ourselves. How often do you look at the labels on your clothes? . . There are stories that can be told from the objects that people themselves don’t know about, or aren’t thinking about in those sort of ways.” The appearance of industrially manufactured black water bottles carried by undocumented migrants is a telling example of such a cultural marker. “Migrants, for a long time, said that white water bottles reflect a lot of light, so the Border Patrol could see you from far away. So, what you want to do is cover them up. You want to paint them with black shoe polish, you want to put them in black plastic bags. In the fall of 2009, I’d seen a lot of bottles covered in black plastic. “Then, this guy walks into a migrant shelter, and he’s carrying a black plastic water bottle. I’m just like ‘Holy [expletive]! Where’d you get that?’ “Here was an example of how archaeology can tell me stories about how technology is changing over time, how there are other players involved in undocumented migration. The people who make manufactured goods used by migrants are players . . . you can really only get at them by looking at the material.” The Undocumented Migration Project relies heavily on geographic tools such as GPS. “We use GPS to document sites. We protect the coordinates, though. I never publish migrant sites—I’ll cut off the last three digits of a GPS coordinate. So, you couldn’t go find them.” The Undocumented Migration Project uses information about the sites to “understand how people are moving across the landscape, depending on distance from the border. So for us, space becomes important . . . Sites vary across the landscape. “If you’re a day’s walk from the border,” for instance, “you’re typically only going to find consumables: food, water bottles. If you get about halfway, you might encounter a backpack that is completely full . . . [migrants say] about two days in, your bag feels like it weighs twice as much. And then you get to a point where they’re maybe going to get picked up in a vehicle. So, you’ll find these big fields of just backpacks, dirty clothes . . . people try to make it look like [they] haven’t just come through the desert . . . By the end point, you can get some big piles of stuff. “People are also leaving things that they didn’t mean to leave behind. Your smuggler might say ‘No backpacks, just get in the car.’ And you might have pictures of your kids . . . It’s always kind of sad when you find something that someone did not mean to lose.” Although more Central and South Americans are immigrating to the United States through Mexico, Jason has not found significant cultural markers in his research. “I talk to more Central Americans than I find their stuff,” Jason says. “Because . . . Central Americans want to hide their identity. They want to be seen as Mexicans . . . because they want to get deported back to Mexico, and not Guatemala . . . But sometimes we’ll find something. I found a pair of soccer tickets from La Paz, Bolivia!” SO, YOU WANT TO BE AN . . . ANTHROPOLOGIST Jason encourages students to take classes or consider focusing outside their intended area of study. For instance, he teaches a popular class on the “Anthropology of Rock and Roll” at the University of Michigan. He finds music is a good way to “trick students” into learning about academic subjects. “In the end, I say ‘This class had nothing to do with rock and roll. It had everything to do with misogyny, racism, violence . . . Rock and roll gets you in the door, and now I want you to leave here thinking more critically about how you consume popular music.” Jason’s playlist includes everyone from Manu Chao to Bruce Springsteen. “Springsteen has a great quote about learning more from a three-minute record than he ever did in school . . . It’s almost like you’re sneaking it in.” Jason is a musician and encourages students, families, and teachers to engage in art. Music “is something that a lot of people can relate to,” Jason says.

How much to rely on Astrology ? People suggest to do few pujas and they have theories related to the puja for example: if the left flower falls then your wish will come true! Or an astrologer says something unhappy about your life then how to deal with such things and be content? Astrology is a science and it is a very deep science that needs in depth study, remember, not every astrologist has studied so deeply, that is why many may not be reliable. Not every astrologist is a scientist. If you find a good astrologist, it may give you a fair direction towards how the 5 elements can affect you. But again, all these effects are dissolved by meditation and knowledge. But things like “if the left flower falls then your wish will come true”, is just a farce. One must learn to distinguish between fake and truth! Have questions? Reach out to Ekta by clicking on the “Ask a Question” button on the left sidebar.

Ishpeming, Michigan has just two nursing homes to choose from, which is not a ton of options. These nursing homes here earned this place a strong city grade of B. This is as good or better than the city grade of the average city in the country. This city's profile was also very consistent as it didn't receive a single weak category grade either. You can learn more about these in the next paragraph. Part of the reason this city earned a strong city grade is that many of its facilities fared well in the area of nursing with a B+. With a nursing rating in this range we would expect most of the nursing homes this city to have a high functioning nursing staff. In addition, Ishpeming also earned one of our higher scores in our short-term care category, with a B. In our final two categories, this place received a grade of B for its inspections score and a B- for long-term care.

I have this problem where a transmitting antenna radiated uniformly in all directions at a radius of r. The station broadcasts at 10 kilowatts. How much power is obtained by a receiver antenna 20km away? The antenna of the receiver is 50cm^2. I am unsure of how to set up an equation for this problem, I know the distance and power, but how would I set this in a equation to find the power obtained by a receiver? If the antenna radiates in all directions (isotropic radiator), you can consider it as the center of a sphere, where the radius is the distance to the RX. If there isn't attenuation on the path, the power remains the same, then divide by the sphere area and you got power/area relation. Knowing antenna's area, you can calculate the power received. Here is a practical example. I have a cluster of FM broadcast antennas 5.25 miles away from my home, or 8400 meters, seven or eight masts. Their total transmission power is about 640 kW, all in the FM range 96 – 100 MHz. In first approximation, let’s assume an uniform emission into a sphere with radius 8400 meters. The surface area of a sphere is S = 4*pi*R^2, = 9e+8 (=886233600) m2, and the RF emission will be spread out evenly. Again, assuming no losses or absorbers on the way, the power density at my location should be about 640000/88623360 = 7.22e-4 W/m2, or about 700uW/m2. This is assuming the spherical space. For commercial broadcast antennas they use an array of vertical dipoles, so they won’t emit up or down, but mostly into horizontal plane. The antenna gain will be at least 2 or more, I assume 3x. So the field is likely about 0.7mW x 3 = 2mW/m2 at my location. If a receiver loop is, say, ~ 3cm x 3cm = ~10 cm2, it covers 0.001m2. So the 10 cm2 loop will get 2uW. Now a practical question, is it much, or not really? For example, how much voltage can be registered by an oscilloscope from this loop? This can be a tricky part. One way is to assume that the wire loop gets the power from free space which is having an impedance of 300 Ohms. Then the open loop will produce about 25 mV RMS: P= V^2/R, so V^2 = 2e-6*300 = 6e-4; so the sqrt() gives V = 25 mV. Surprisingly, this is close to what I can see on all my scopes, for example: This is very annoying when dealing with low-voltage signals, the interference is everywhere. Note to retired engineers and serious hobbyists: when shopping for a home to live, pay attention to broadcast towers around. I have this problem where a transmitting antenna radiated uniformly in all directions at a radius of r. The station broadcasts at 10 kilowatts. How much power is obtained by a reciever antenna 20km away? The antenna of the reciever is 50cm^2. If the transmitter emits uniformly in all directions then all the 10 kW transmitted is passing notionally through a surface area of \$4\pi \times20,000^2\$ square metres. That's the surface area of a sphere of radius 20 km. This means that your receiver only gets a tiny fraction because it has an area of 0.25 square metres. So, 10,000 watts x 0.25/(\$4\pi \times20,000^2\$) = 487 nW. The power per square metre is clearly 4 times bigger at ~2 \$\mu W/m^2\$ and, given that the impedance of free space is 377 ohms you can calculate the local E field at the receiver as being 27.4 mV/metre using P = V^2/R. Not a bad sized signal really. H field is 377 times lower at 72.6 uA/m.

Many of us look at investing as a David v. Goliath scenario: you are David, up against the giant. There’s a mountain of evidence that’s just waiting for you to wade through (and get lost in) that will prove this point. But – goes the so-called hope – if, by chance, you manage to find the vaunted slingshot (i.e., the winning strategy, the golden-ticket investment) then you can topple the giant. Yet this idea of finding a perfect slingshot – systematically beating the market time and time again – is a myth. (Wo)man v. the market is anything but a fair fight. As gamblers will tell you, the house always wins, and in this case the “house” is market forces – which we should accept as being unbeatable and not put up a costly fight. Trying to beat the markets by speculating on which investment makes the perfect slingshot is no way to achieve real, sustainable investment success. There’s an abundance of literature (about four decades’ worth) compiled by devoted money managers (e.g. Michael Jensen), who have demonstrated that they can beat the market – beat the House – on a consistent risk-adjusted basis. This seemingly magical math seduces many investors into believing that a manager holds some wondrous treasure of a strategy, an investment Golden Fleece, that shows which money manager you should follow to the ends of the Earth. Yet speculating on a latest-and-greatest strategy is much like speculating on any one stock: it is still gambling, not investing for the long term. There is very little persistence in the performance of managers and hardly any tried and true method of gleaning whom will outperform the market in the future. I’m sure you’ve seen that ubiquitous disclaimer, written in the 5.5 point New Times Roman font on each and every investment prospectus, disabusing you of any thought that the past predicts the future. I’ll paraphrase it for you – past performance is no guarantee of future results. Now that is a money-in-the-bank statement! Unfortunately, it won’t guarantee that you’ll be laughing all the way to the bank. It’s too bad that far too many so-called savvy DIY investors don’t heed that warning. Investing in a well-diversified global portfolio with strategic allocations to stocks, bonds, and commodities paves a path to long-term investment success. These are exactly the kind of portfolios we create at LexION Capital. Our approach is timeless for a reason: we never gamble on a golden ticket or the latest so-called golden fleece. We construct well-diversified portfolios that allow our clients to benefit from the best possible investment opportunities all over the globe.

After months of uncertainty, the Tribe DAO has voted to pay back users affected by an $80 million exploit against the liquidity pool of decentralized finance (DeFi) platform Rari Capital. The Tribe DAO, which consists of Midas Capital, Rari Capital, Fei Protocol and Volt Protocol, after several votes and governance proposals, aimed to issue a full refund to hack victims on Sept. 18. voted. According to data from on-chain voting platform Tally, 99% of those who voted in favor of the proposal went into effect on September 20th. Individual users are paid in FEI and DAO in DAI, as explained below in the voting data. Also, the user must sign a message disclaiming liability. Fei founder Joey Santoro said on Twitter that payments will be made 24 hours after the vote is passed. 1/ Rari Fuse Hack Payment goes through on-chain and pays victims in full within 24 hours. This is a key moment in these final governing decisions of the Tribal DAO. — Joey’s ERC-4626 (@joey__santoro) September 19, 2022 According to CoinGecko data, the total payout is 12.68 million FEI trading at $0.97 and 26.61 million DAI trading at $1 at the time of writing. This vote was one of the final governance decisions of the Tribe DAO, which announced plans for decommissioning. The Aug. 20 proposal explained that a “challenging macro environment” and “specific challenges such as Rari Capital’s Fuse hack” were all factors in the decision. “At this stage, the responsible choice for the DAO to consider is to leave the protocol in a state where it adheres to the FEI peg without the need for governance.” The entire process of reimbursing hack victims is underway, with several rounds of voting through snapshot signaling polls and on-chain. However, it did not lead to a resolution for affected users. In a September 20 Twitter post, Joey Santoro explained the challenges they all faced in coming up with a solution and hopes other DAOs can learn from this incident. Related: DeFi protocol shuts down months after Rari Fuse hack “The biggest lesson here is that the DAO does not need to make such decisions after the fact. It eliminates the need to step into territory.” I want everyone to learn these lessons and know that all stakeholders have truly done their best in this unprecedented situation.— Joey’s ERC-4626 (@joey__santoro) September 19, 2022 A $10 million bounty was offered to the hackers after the hack, but it was not disclosed if they responded.

EU/EEA and Swiss nationals have the right to freely move and reside in Malta as workers, self-employed persons, students, or economically self-sufficient persons, which include pensioners and retired persons. EU/EEA and Swiss nationals may also set up a business here. This also applies to their country’s national family members or other family members, who have a right to join and accompany them. These include the spouse, children or grandchildren under 21 years of age who are dependent on the EU/EEA national and dependent parents or grandparents. The latter does not apply to students. It is valid to note that such EU/EEA or Swiss nationals need not apply for a work permit however, in the case of employment, the employer is required to register the new employee with Jobsplus (Malta’s Public Employment Services). After three months in Malta, EU nationals must register their residence and demonstrate that they have found employment, are in education or training, have their own means of subsistence and so on. If an EU citizen and his family members reside legally in Malta for a continuous period of five years, they may apply to reside in Malta on a permanent basis. Posted employees also need not apply for a work permit in order to reside and work in Malta. Non-EU/EEA/Switzerland individuals (also known as third country nationals, or TCNs) must, on the other hand, have a work permit in order to work and reside legally in Malta. Such authorisation is done by means of a Single Permit Application, obtained at government agency, Identity Malta. Authorities then produce a so-called e-Residence card, enabling a TCN to work and reside in Malta. The single permit allows TCNs to legally reside and work in Malta for a set period of time, which can be extended. Such an application is processed through a single application procedure that includes the application for both a work and a residence permit. The work permit is issued in respect of TCNs who work with a specific employer to perform a specific job. The permit cannot be used to take up a different job, or to work for a different employer, even on a part-time basis. Generally, work permits are issued for a maximum duration of one year. Some TCNs may be required to have a valid visa before entering Malta, with certain exceptions. Third country nationals must apply for a visa in their home countries, specifically at the diplomatic mission or consular post that issues visas on behalf of Malta. Once TCNs have a residence permit in hand, they are not only authorized to legally reside in Malta, but also given them the mobility to freely travel without a visa within the Schengen Area and cross its external border. Malta offers several schemes and/or programmes for individuals and their dependants to base their tax status locally. Such programmes may, subject to the satisfaction of the eligible criteria, provide for a fixed rate to tax at 15% on income remitted and sourced in Malta. A recently introduced prgram, the Nomad Residence Permit, allows third country nationals to legally reside in Malta whilst retaining their current employment in another country. The Permit may be obtained by individuals who can work remotely from any location through telecommunications and technologies. Malta is a host to such permit holders and is open to individuals from third countries who would normally require a Visa to travel to Malta. The Permit is valid for one year and maybe renewed upon application. At Empleo, we provide assistance and advice on the various residence programmes and work permit requirements applicable in Malta. Some of our services in this area include the following: You may get in touch with us here to request an initial free legal consultation in relation to any of the matters outlined above.

Complete Table of Contents | The Beginner class essentially serves the purpose of being an introductory class. Though Beginners obtain ability points upon leveling up, they have no skills; however, in the KoreaMS Beta server, Beginner skills are being tested. Beginners do not lose experience upon death. It is advised, however, that one makes not dying a habit before advancing to the first job because experience is lost once the advancement is made. It is also strongly advised that the job advancement is made at the appropriate level (8 for Magicians, 10 for Warriors/Archers/Thieves). Some people choose to completely ignore the job advancement, and play MapleStory as a permanent Beginner. This is a challenging path to take. This module does not discuss the art of being a permanent Beginner - one should see the builds module for information on that. Common courtesy edit As with all MMORPGs, there are some things that you should and should not do. - Territory: While no one "owns" territory (it is intellectual property of Wizet), a significant number of MapleStory players grow attached to the area that have been training on for a decent amount of time. This is an "unwritten law" of MapleStory, and it is suggested that you abide by it, if you value your fame level. If you would like to train somewhere, but it has already been taken, then simply change channels. With 20 channels there are plenty of places to train at. If you invade someone's territory, then it is most commonly considered "kill stealing" and will most likely cause arguements. While it is incorrect to say that this is just as wrong to do as, for example, invading a foreign country, it tends to irritate people, so try not to do this. Unfortunately, in some places such as the popular "Pig Beach", territory is very hard to grasp, and a lot of kill stealing occurs as a result. - The etiquette of territory is hard to define, as everyone has different views of how big their territory is. For some maps, a territory may be less than 1/8 of the map, or even a mere monster. On the other hand, the territory of some maps such as the end of the B3 Subway, and the Zombie maps, extend across the entire map. However, as you train in that particular map for a long amount of time, you will begin to grasp this common, unwritten knowledge. - Kill Stealing: Many people "kill steal", especially at earlier levels. In essence, kill stealing is when a person either invades someone else's territory, or when a stronger player follows around a weaker player just to irritate that weak player. Kill stealing is often referred to as "KSing" ("KS" referring to "kill steal", and "KSed" referring to "kill stealed"). Sometimes, a form of kill stealing is used to defend against kill stealing. This situation is rare and cannot be defined with a specific term. It typically happens when someone is kill stealing, is warned, defamed, and still will not leave one's territory. Kill stealing is considered rude behavior and generally results in defaming. The kill stealing etiquette rule does not apply to boss monsters, per global belief. In some extreme cases, one may wait for a boss monster such as Mushmom for a considerable amount of time, and is KSed once it spawns. - Defaming: Defames, which is the opposite of fame, are generally frowned upon, as they can easily lead to "mass defames" in which a band of people defames a single person repeatedly. Defaming is sometimes a useful tool to use if someone is being extremely disrespectful by kill stealing or otherwise. A "defame war" is similar to a mass defaming, except two parties of people defame each other. The economy of MapleStory is complicated, with prices fluctuating all the time as a result of inflation. Prices vary from version to version and server to server, depending on availability. Below is a list of those items which generally retain a standard price: - Scrolls (those that increase equipment statistics) are usually valuable, the cheapest selling for at least 20,000 (except for HP, MP scrolls and scrolls for pet equipment, which are generally worth very little) and the most expensive selling for up to 4-6 million (for the mage-demanded 60% Overall INT scroll). - Common ores are worth about 1,000 Mesos each. It is recommended that you keep all of your ores instead of selling them to the NPC. However, there are some rarer ores that are worth more, such as the Diamond, Gold or Black Crystal Ores, which can be sold for even more (generally 5,000 - 10,000 Mesos each). Then there are the rarest ores - the "Crystal" ores such as the LUK, Wisdom, DEX, Power, and Dark Crystal Ores. The most expensive, the Dark Crystal, which is needed for the third job advancement test, sells for up to 100,000 Mesos each. Be wary that the Dark Crystal and Black Crystal Ores are not the same thing. - The newer or less populated a server is, the higher the prices for rare items are. For example, on GlobalMS Scania, a Blood Chaos Robe may sell for XXX Mesos, while on a less populated or less established server it may sell for up to 1.5 times that amount. At the end of the first week of the GlobalMS Tespia beta phase, those who had found a Panlid sold it for up to 2 million Mesos each. At the end of the last week of Tespia, however, the price had dropped to as low as 100,000 Mesos each. Also, once an item becomes obsolete, its value drops; for example, the price of Panlids in GlobalMS dropped upon the release of the new Magician shields (Mystic and Esther shields) and Bandit shields (Seclusion, Nimble, and Jurgen Wristguards). - Counterpoint: Scrolls will usually be lower in newer servers; While there is a lower number of scrolls in the market, there will usually be very few people, if any, who can use them effectively. Also, lower level monsters give less profit, so players will have less money, which will translate into lower prices. Finally, quests such as Jane and the Wild Boar will also add scrolls to the market, in relatively large quantities for the server's age.

Communication Dans Un Congrès Année : 2004 Galileo and Modernized GPS have included in their signal structures a new signal modulation: the Binary Offset Carrier (BOC). In the navigation field, this modulation is characterized by the chipping rate of its spreading code (m×1.023 MHz) and the frequency of its square sub-carrier (n×1.023 MHz). As a consequence, it is usually referred to as a BOC(n,m) modulation. The choice of the parameters n and m has a significant impact on the signal tracking performance and characteristics . It is well known that each BOC modulation brings many improvements when compared against a classical Bi-Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation with the same chipping rate . Among other examples, it provides a lower code tracking error in thermal noise, better multipath mitigation, and better rejection of narrow-band interference. However, its multi-peak autocorrelation function is a major drawback. This implies that when using classical acquisition and tracking techniques, there is a possibility of detecting and tracking the signal by locking onto a side-peak. This can lead to severe undesirable measurement biases when not corrected. Several methods have been developed in order to prevent such an event to occur [2, 3, 4, and 5]. These methods are usually generic to all BOC modulations. However, they have to incorporate trade-offs, such as a degraded code tracking accuracy, or the risk of a certain period of potential false peak tracking. This research uses a different approach to the problem. Instead of trying to find a generic solution, it was decided to study this ambiguity problem on a particular signal in order to try to apply relevant methods using this specific signal?s characteristics. The BOC modulation chosen was the sine-BOC(n,n) (sine- stands for the use of a sine square as the sub-carrier). This decision was motivated by the fact a sine-BOC(1,1) will most likely be used for the Galileo civil signal on L1, and potentially on GPS III [6, 7]. Moreover, the Galileo L1 signal will constitute the main Galileo signal for mass market applications due to its narrow frequency bandwidth and low sampling frequency required for its processing. As a result, finding an optimal way to track Galileo BOC(1,1) unambiguously is critical, as well as very challenging. This paper presents a new unambiguous BOC tracking method that can be applied to any sine-BOC(n,n) signal. It consistently removes the bias threat while having a close-to-optimum tracking accuracy. Sine-BOC modulation will be referred to as BOC modulation for simplicity throughout this paper. The first part focuses on the shortcomings of traditional BOC(n,n) tracking and the second part offers a detailed description of the new proposed method. The third part then focuses on the theoretical tracking performance of the proposed method in thermal noise only. Its behaviour in a multipath environment is then investigated before some simulation results are shown in the last section.

Did the US send only one ship for joint naval drills with Manila? Claims on Chinese-speaking social media suggested that the United States deployed only one ship for the joint patrols with the Philippines in the South China Sea in January, and that the USS Carl Vinson supercarrier wasn’t part of the drills. However, the claims lack evidence. Official statements confirm that four American vessels were involved in the exercises, and visual evidence shows the participation of the USS Carl Vinson in the joint operations. The claim was shared on the popular Chinese social media site Weibo on Jan. 5 by the state-affiliated social media user Yuyuan Tantian. “The Philippine military announced that the U.S. and the Philippines would launch a joint cruise in the waters off the South China Sea,” reads the claim in part. “The Philippine military had previously announced that in addition to four Philippine warships, the US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70), a cruiser and two guided-missile destroyers would be involved in the mission. “However, in addition to the three Philippine ships, only one destroyer, the USS Sterrett (DDG-104), actually participated in the cruise and accompanied the Philippine ships at a certain distance.” Yuyuan Tantian cited a CNN Philippines’ report to back the claim. The claim began to circulate after the Philippines and the U.S. embarked a two-day joint patrol in the South China Sea on Jan. 3. The two treaty allies saw a significant increase in security collaboration last year amidst rising tensions in the South China Sea, a point of contention, with the Philippines and China each trading blame for a series of confrontations. In response, the Philippines and the U.S. initiated joint patrols in November, conducting three-day military exercises in waters near Taiwan and in the West Philippine Sea, the name Manila uses for the South China Sea areas within its exclusive economic zone. Beijing said it would not turn a blind eye to repeated “provocations and harassment” by the Philippines, while Chinese state media have also accused Manila of relying on U.S. support to continually antagonize China. A day before the January exercises, the U.S. Indo Pacific Command said in a statement that a total of four warships were scheduled to take part from the American side, namely the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70), USS Kidd (DDG-100), USS Sterett (DDG-104) and USS Princeton (CG-59). It added that the Philippines would send three vessels. One of several videos of the drills released by the Philippines Armed Forces on Facebook also shows a Philippine helicopter landing on the USS Carl Vinson, identifiable by its hull number 70 located on the right side of the screen. One of several videos of the drills released by the Philippines Armed Forces on Facebook also shows a Philippine helicopter landing on the USS Carl Vinson, identifiable by its hull number 70 located on the right side of the screen. A public affairs officer for the U.S. Pacific Fleet later referred AFCL to several pictures of U.S. and Philippine military personnel taken aboard the USS Carl Vinson and posted on the military’s official Defense Visual Information Distribution Service website. The U.S. military outlet Defense News also released footage of the drills taken both on board vessels participating in the drills and in the air surrounding them. AFCL has not been able to independently verify the exact location of these images. CNN Philippines report A keyword search on Google found a report published by CNN Philippines on Jan. 3, which only listed the USS Sterett as a participating vessel in the joint exercises. However, the report also stated that the exercises would be conducted on the following day and that the U.S. still planned to send out four vessels, including the USS Carl Vinson. Four days after the conclusion of the exercises, CNN Philippines published a separate report on the drills, including footage of the USS Carl Vinson. Edited by Taejun Kang and Malcolm Foster.

Published May 25, 2021 Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is receiving fire for signing a bill on Monday that bans social media giants such as Twitter and Facebook from censoring posts from registered political candidates. The critics are wrong: The law enhances political speech at a minimal cost to the affected companies. The Florida law is a response to conservatives’ belief that social media companies unfairly target their limitations on speech. One can dispute how much that is actually true, but high-profile acts such as many companies’ continued ban on former president Donald Trump and the removal of Project Veritas’s James O’Keefe from Twitter provide more than enough proof to justify the reaction. The question, then, is whether Florida’s requirements would help rather than hinder free expression of sensitive political issues, the core element the First Amendment seeks to protect. Social media is an important, if not the most important, realm in which political debates are conducted today. As a result, access to social media is essential to any entity seeking to influence those debates. When a network denies someone access, it is significantly hampering the ability to successfully engage in political debate. That alone weighs heavily in favor of ensuring access is not unfairly or arbitrarily restricted or denied. Henry Olsen is a Washington Post columnist and a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

This information is from a press release. According to the Blood-Horse web site, Barbaro’s owners have issued a statement saying they are not connected with this effort to memorialize (and politicize) their horse. To clarify the information below, I spoke with the gallery today and the unveiling of the near-lifesize sculpture will indeed take place at Central Park South and the piece can be viewed there for a period of time before it is moved to the gallery in the Meatpacking District. During Preakness week, the piece will be on display in Washington, DC. This is the first of what will probably be several posts about the first anniversary of Barbaro’s euthanasia. New York (January 23, 2008) – Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro is the subject of a statue and namesake of a proposal urging mandatory disclosure of race-related horse fatalities and injuries. A proposal titled “Barbaro’s Law” will coincide with the unveiling of Barbaro’s statue at the Central Park South location where a carriage horse was tragically killed last year. “The Barbaro Memorial”by controversial sculptor Daniel Edwards, courtesy of Leo Kesting Gallery, will be unveiled April 30th, the same week as the 134th Kentucky Derby.”The Barbaro Memorial” depicts the thoroughbred champion in the winner’s circle on his back with his number 8 saddle cloth draping his belly, and represents his inability to stand on his feet due to the debilitating laminitis which followed the shattered ankle he suffered in the 2006 Preakness Stakes.

· Sometimes, you just don’t experience love at first sight with a new horse. What can you do when you aren’t bonding? Find out in this episode of Barn Stories. [Christine] What can you do when you aren’t bonding with a new horse? Find out in this episode of Barn Stories. [Laurie] Welcome to the Barn Stories podcast. I’m Laurie Prinz, editor EQUUS magazine. [Christine] And I’m managing editor, Christine Barakat. [Laurie] This podcast features our favorite essays and articles published in EQUUS over the past 40 years. Although EQUUS is known for articles on horse care and veterinary research, our editorial mission has always been guided by the bond that exists between horses and people. And each issue has featured a real-life story that celebrates how horses enrich our lives and touch our hearts. [Christine] We’ve searched our archives, chosen the stories that resonated with our readers and given them new life in this audio format. Longtime subscribers may recognize some of their favorite pieces. And if you’re new to the EQUUS community, these stories will confirm that no matter what sort of saddle you sit in, a deep emotional connection to horses is something we all share. [Christine] Having a deep connection with a particular horse for many happy years is a gift. It’s also a bit of a curse in that any horse who follows will have a lot to live up to. It’s not surprising then, how many riders struggle to connect with a new equine partner after retiring their older horses. [Laurie] The essay we are featuring in this episode tells the story of one such struggle. The writer, Cathy, fears she’ll never connect with her new mount, Jackson, as well as she did with her old horse. Her frustrations grow until she realizes that she really hadn’t been giving Jackson much of a chance to win her affections. So, armed with just a grooming kit and a resolve to see the best in her new horse she sets out to win him over. [Christine] Let’s find out if it worked by listening to “Love the One You’re With,” written by Cathy Erickson and written by Taylor Autumn. [Taylor Autumn, story reader] Jesse was a legend. He was a halter champion, a winner in dressage, a bombproof foxhunter and an undefeated trail challenge champion. More important, he was the sweetest soul. He loved people, he loved to train, he loved to travel, he loved me. I bought him as a yearling, and I held his head in my arms as he died at 32. Jackson, on the other hand, has had to follow in Jesse’s footsteps. I wanted my next horse to be a bit smaller, and I wanted another buckskin, so when this cute, 4-year-old, 14.3 hand red dun popped up in my Facebook feed, I thought I’d go take a look. It was not love at first sight. But I thought the little gelding had potential. Plus he wasn’t too expensive, so if he didn’t work out I wouldn’t get hurt financially. So I brought Jackson home when Jesse was 30. The process of bonding with Jackson was slow at first. It probably didn’t help that I was just getting to know Jackson while still doting on Jesse. My older horse’s every need was met immediately and he got the “special” hay and all the attention he wanted and then some. Meanwhile, I started riding my new horse, but after more than two decades on Jesse, the adjustment was harder than I expected. I had to develop a new sense of balance and rewrite my muscle memory. The first time I took Jackson down a dicey hill I thought I was going to fall right over his head. Jesse had a beautiful, long body and knew how to sit back going down a steep slope. My new horse was much more compact and wanted to charge down hills. This took a toll on my body and confidence. It felt wrong. Jackson was a choppier ride, too. I missed my old, reliable champ and I’m guessing my feelings showed. While Jesse came running at the sound of my voice, Jackson seemed uninterested—he even walked away. I missed being adored by my horse. Finally, I realized something that I had forgotten after 30 years: Even Jesse wasn’t “my Jesse” at first. When he was a yearling I had spent hours practicing for halter classes, brushing him and fussing over him. Our perfect partnership developed only with years of work, lots of time at shows and many shared experiences. A bond with Jackson would require a similar commitment. I needed to start over. Instead of just grabbing Jackson out of the pasture to ride, I started spending more time with him, leading, brushing, hand grazing, bathing and just generally hanging out. Jackson hadn’t been doted on as a baby, and he had never really had his own person, so I had to show him the benefits. Little by little we made progress. In time, Jackson didn’t always walk away when I appeared at the pasture gate, and he started to relax during groundwork. He was deciding to trust me and, as a result, become more engaged and predictable. Jackson and I have been together for four years now, and our partnership isn’t perfect, but we continue to make progress. He makes me work harder than Jesse did, but at least it’s work I enjoy. Jackson may not be Jesse, but he sure is a fun little cow pony in his own right. And how lucky am I to have that? I’ve come to realize that it’s not about finding “the horse of a lifetime.” It’s really about taking the time to make a life with the horse you have. And maybe you’ll find that another special horse was right there all along. [Christine] Thanks for listening to Barn Stories. We hope you enjoyed this episode.

On September 30, Vadym Melnyk, Director of the Economic Security Bureau, met with representatives of the European Business Association (EBA). The European Business Association (EBA) is one of the largest associations of entrepreneurs in Ukraine, numbering more than 1000 companies. The agenda of the meeting was the ways of cooperation between the ESBU and the business community of Ukraine to improve the business climate and investment attractiveness of the state. "The ESBU will not become another punitive body, but will cope with illegal schemes that prevent the national economy from developing. A new analytical approach to fight economic crimes will help build equal conditions for business development in the country and prevent distortion of competition across the markets. I hope that legal business is ready to become our partner in this systematic work to achieve a common goal – improving the business climate and investment attractiveness of Ukraine,” - the Director of ESBU said.

Three of the strongest teams on verge of not making it to the Major. Here’s who they lost to … Day 3 of the European RMR A has thrown up quite a few surprise results. The Round 3 mid matches saw both Astralis and Fnatic lose their respective Bo1s which puts them in a do or die situation. A loss in their next match would mean they will not make it to the upcoming Brazilian Major. Two of the biggest orgs in Counter-Strike Global Offensive are now on the verge of not making it to the IEM Rio Major. This could be the first time in Astralis’ history that the org might miss out on the CS: GO Major. Astralis have won four CS: GO Majors till date and dominated one of the most one-sided eras in the game’s history. Bad News Eagles thrash Astralis Bad News Eagles were dominant in their match against Astralis on Ancient. Sinopssy and juanflatroo had 28 and 25 kills each, styling over the Astralis players. Off to a 11-0 start on the CT side, it was only a matter of time before Bad News Eagles would close out the map. The RMR events feature best-of-one matches in a Swiss format. The elimination matches, however, are all best-of-three series. Astralis previously lost 12-16 to NiP on Nuke a couple of days ago in their debut RMR match. Their only win so far this RMR event has been against Eternal Fire yesterday. If Astralis lose their next matchup, it will be the first time in history that xyp9x fails to reach top 24 at a CS: GO Major. Fnatic fall to B8 esports Meanwhile, the team that took FaZe Clan to overtime yesterday fell to B8 esports today. After a thrilling Nuke map against FaZe Clan yesterday, which Fnatic lost 17-19, their performance today was sub-par by their own standards. The Ukrainian roster of B8 esports had a strong T side, getting a 9-6 lead in the first half. Inferno is usually a slightly CT sided map and with a 3 round lead at the end of the first half, B8 managed to easily get the 7 required rounds to secure the map win. With this victory, B8 esports is now 2-1, one series victory away from securing their spot at the CS: GO Major. G2 lose to 1Win Easily one of the strongest teams in the Road to Rio, G2 esports also find themselves in the 1-2 pool, a single loss away from elimination. Their match against 1win, also on Ancient did not go as per plan. G2 started strong, having secured the CT side on the first half. The 9-4 start, powered heavily by mONESY, was not enough as they gave up two rounds at the tail-end of the half. The 9-6 half proved to be not enough as 1Win showcased a very resilient CT side, on a map that is heavily CT favored. G2 esports only won 4 rounds on their attacking side, clearly outmaneouvered by the 1win strategic advantage. Today, teams will find themselves qualified for the upcoming CS: GO Major or will also be eliminated. In RMR A, FaZe take on Sprout while NiP and Cloud9 face each other for a qualification spot to the Major. NAVI will face Outsiders in the EU RMR B, also for a spot at the IEM Rio Major. The IEM Rio Major will take place from October 31 to November 13 in Brazil. One of the most popular games in the country, the CS: GO Major is bound to see large attendance and hype crowds. In fact, ESL has also roped in Gaules for a fan-fest during the Major, which will feature meet and greets, signing sessions and more.

Management Analysis for Small Businesses Effective management analysis that satisfies the legal requirements for a relatively small business is usually a challenge to draft. For majority of small businesses like Irvin Industries the management analysis is the most central document that gives insights about the business to potential investors and the outside world. Wrongful dismissal like in the case of Lynette Hines is sometimes referred to as wrongful termination or wrongful discharge. It is a legal phrase whereby an employee’s contract of employment is terminated by the employer and in doing so the employer breaks one or two terms of the contract of employment or similarly a statute in the employment law. Religious discrimination entails treating people in an unpleasant manner due to the religious affiliations.Title VII of the civil rights Act of 1964 forbids any employer from discriminating their employees due to their religion or lack of it .Hence it is illegal to have discriminatory clauses in employments contracts like the one Jane signed with Irvin industries at the beginning of her employment. The law also prohibits job isolation on the basis of religion for instance assigning an employee to a non customer contact position because of the previous harsh interactions by a particular client (Zenger, 2010). Similarly the Act states that employers should reasonably consider and respect the religious beliefs and practices of employees and job applicants. A reasonable religious respect is any alteration to the work environment that creates a conducive atmosphere to work. Flexible scheduling, consensual work shift patterns, transfers, job swaps and exceptions to in house grooming rules and regulations are an example of accommodative work environment. If the above considerations were keenly considered by Irvin industries Jane would still be an employee of the company as she seemed to be an essential part of the company’s production. In a court of law Jane would have an upper hand against her employer for wrongful dismissal and hence she would easily win the case. This is to say that the company would lose in terms of time and money by pursuing the litigation brought about by Jane. Similarly this would be injurious to the reputation and image or Irvin industries to the outside world and also to potential investors. Irvin Industries would very easily lose this case as they are seen to contravene the provisions of Title VII of the civil rights Act of 1964.This would also set a bad precedent to other employees of Irvin industries who might have similar concerns as to those of Jane hence create a sense of disarray in the company. The bigger picture of this issue will not be even against Jane against Irvin industries. This might escalate towards Irvin industries and members of the seventh day Adventist church who might be using good and services from Irvin industries as they might chose not to use them. This might bring in loses in terms of monetary value and this is not a good thing for a small company like Irvin industries (Djupe & Olson, 2003). The court ruling might state that Jane is reinstated to her previous employment and she be compensated for the income lost while she was not working. Zenger, J. H. (2010).

Capturing The Emotions And Moments As the bride walks down the aisle, her heart races with anticipation.

That’s because having someone else take care of capturing all the important moments allows you to fully immerse yourself in the joy and happiness of your special day. Instead of worrying about whether or not Uncle Bob will remember to press record on his phone, you can focus on dancing with your new spouse, laughing with friends and family, and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Hiring a professional videographer means that you don’t have to worry about setting up cameras, adjusting lighting, or any other technical aspects.

Not only does hiring a professional videographer alleviate stress on your big day, but it also ensures that you’ll have high-quality footage to look back on for years to come. Imagine being able to watch your first dance as husband and wife on anniversaries or sharing those touching moments with future generations. A professionally shot video adds an extra layer of intimacy and emotion that simply cannot be replicated by amateur recordings.

They are skilled storytellers who understand how to craft a cinematic masterpiece out of your love story. Now let’s talk numbers. The average cost of hiring a professional wedding videographer can range anywhere from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. Keep in mind that this price includes not just their time on the actual day but also pre-production planning, post-production editing, and delivering the final product in various formats. Additionally, some videographers offer add-ons like drone footage or same-day edits at an extra cost. It’s crucial to consider these factors when budgeting for your wedding expenses so that you can prioritize what matters most to you. Ultimately, while hiring a professional wedding videographer may seem like an added expense during an already costly affair, it is an investment well worth making. Your wedding day is filled with priceless moments that deserve to be captured in the most beautiful and authentic way possible. By entrusting a professional with this task, you can rest assured that your memories will be preserved flawlessly, allowing you to relive the magic of your special day over and over again.

The OPPrentice - Who will win? Tom is in no way a leader. His passive demeanour in the face of other opinions leaves a hell of a lot to be desired. On the strength of that failing alone, he deserved to be fired several times over. And yet - and this is admittedly an outside chance - we think that Tom could clinch it, despite his lack of force. Is leadership actually the stated aim of the programme? Lord Sugar’s looking for a partner, not a leader. There’s already one larger-than-life leader destined for that partnership, and we can’t help thinking two would be a crowd. Tom has all the other business skills required, a proven track record, and, shockingly, is the only one of the lot who appears to have any financial smarts. As demonstrated by the MyPy ‘dream team’ of Tom and Helen (drawing a hasty veil over the Columbus gaffe), a team led by an able manager who is prepared to delegate the right tasks to the right individuals, and is able to accommodate the quirks of a strongly creative individual, can actually deliver ideas and solutions considerably above and beyond what they could do alone. If Tom is summarily dismissed without some kind of continuing relationship with Lord S, we may even offer to eat… well, not our hats exactly, but we might perhaps lick a curvy nail file…

Some specialised thematic networks already exist and the objective of this proposal is not to replicate what has successfully been done elsewhere. The focus of this network will be on large scale and generalist cohorts, and its originality will lay on the inter-disciplinarity of the themes to be covered: researchers involved in these studies tend to find ways to reconcile through one survey social, health and environmental aspects of child development. The expertise and the synergies with existing cohorts and networks will be sought and is necessary to develop sound discussions on methodologies, but the European Children Cohorts Network will primarily aim at bringing together large scope cohorts and their specific working questions. The network will focus on methodology aspects of data collection through cohort methods, including the tools used to collect the data. Within this context, the European Child Cohort’s objectives will be to 1) Enhance the visibility and the synergy between children cohorts and among the different European teams involved in them. 2) Identify the best expertise in Europe on cohort methodology. Links between large-scale and generalist cohorts will be strengthened, but the objective is also to call on the experience of limited-scale, regional cohorts, or very specific epidemiology and medical cohorts which may have already encountered similar methodology issues. 3) Perform a mapping exercise at European level of the methodology diversity and similarities in order to identify common methodological, scientific and ethical questions. 4) Making the network a single access point of expertise for Child Cohorts in Europe, able to gather a scientific community of interested stakeholders and to diffuse methodology advise for potential new comers. 5) Initiate new and in-depth collaborations between scientific teams which could lead to comparative analysis, using common questionnaire modules, develop standardised questionnaires, and identify potential issues where comparative analysis could be undertaken. The achievements of the network will be to increase awareness and knowledge, by providing a forum for discussion and an easy access to world-class expertise in the field. It will create and consolidate a scientific community working on a very specific field and producing data. It will also participate to the convergence of cohort study in Europe and on the comparability of data at European level on a policy-relevant issue : child development.

Daniel Lawrence Whitney, more popular across the globe by his stage name Larry the Cable Guy, has set quite a name for himself in the world of comedy with an expansive career spanning three long decades. Despite this immense popularity, there is not much known about his wife – Cara Whitney, who also happens to be a fairly eminent personality in her sphere of work. Here’s everything you may or may not have known about Cara Whitney. Early Life, Education, and Background Not much is known about Cara Whitney’s life prior to marriage, as she successfully managed to retain her privacy despite the attention that celebrity marriages are subject to. From the little that is known, she was born in the year 1976 in the state of Wisconsin, although speculations regarding the exact date are scarce. She reportedly attended a local high school in Wisconsin, where she is believed to have discovered her passion for writing and acting. Details concerning the remainder of her education are limited, though it is said that she attained her bachelor’s degree in the year 1998. She reported belonging to a family of farmers, and her father is said to own a farm in Wisconsin. This is seemingly where her affinity for animals stems from. Cara Whitney began her career as a radio DJ at a local radio station in Los Angeles, California, after she moved out of her hometown. It is around this time that she crossed paths with her now-husband, Larry the Cable Guy. Post marriage, she quit her career as a radio DJ and continued her role as an author. As of 2021, she has to her credit three books: - Unbridled Faith: 100 Devotions from the Horse Farm - Unbridled Faith Devotions for Young Readers - Fields of Grace: Sharing Faith from the Horse Farm. Cara Whitney and her husband tied the knot on July 3, 2005. Together, they both are proud parents to two children, Wyatt, a son, and Reagan, a daughter. Their marriage shattered the notions of glamorous and elaborate celebrity weddings, as they exchanged their vows in a simple field ceremony held in the state of Nebraska. The couple has been heavily active in various philanthropic activities, the stimulus for which stemmed from their son being diagnosed with hip dysplasia. After his successful treatment, they decided to channelize their donations into helping establish an International Hip Dysplasia Institute. Furthermore, they also happen to run another non-profit organization by the name of the Git-R-Done Foundation. Stay with EveDonus Films for latest updates.

Starting a farm or adding a new farm enterprise can be an enjoyable and attractive business decision. This factsheet lists contacts and resources to explore as you consider a new or expanding farm enterprise. Resources from government agencies and organizations provide production information vital for starting and operating a successful farm business. Author: Shannon Dill; Title: Starting a Farm Enterprise in Maryland (EBR-2022-0648) This report breaks down the necessary steps to develop your product and bring it to market in accordance with Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's regulations and recommendations. The author discusses the legal aspects of operating a specialty food processing business in Maryland, including obtaining the necessary license and complying with regulations of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and Fair Packaging and Labeling Act. The 30-page report also provides detailed information on the many requirements for business operation, including proper labeling, obtaining UPC codes, working with a co-packer, and acquiring the correct equipment. Most wheat and soybean seed sold in Maryland is protected by either U.S. Patent Law or the Plant Variety Protection Act (PVPA). These protections severely limit the age-old practice of “farmer-saved seed” or prohibit it entirely, depending upon the protection the owner of the variety secures. The following will discuss the implications of Patent Law and PVPA on farmer-saved seed of wheat and soybeans. Authors: Dale Morris, Robert Kratochvil, and Paul Goeringer; Title: Farmer-saved Seed: What is Legal? What is Not? (FS-1064)

By Mark Clement Making the Most of the Most-used Door in the House We’ve all seen it: The fancy-pants front door so often gets all the trick-outs: a glammed-up glass package, sweet sidelites, capital crown detail and nice hardware … Fancy-schmancy and gussied up. And then it’s rarely used. The front door deserves our attention for many reasons, but in lots of houses front doors are inexplicably about six miles from the driveway, which distances them even further from our daily lives. The result is that the door so many people use on a daily basis is the one that makes the most sense: the side or back door, the one that’s in the same zip code as the driveway. It’s the door your parents, friends, spouse and children use, too. And, if it’s like the one we just ramped and amped for this article, it’s lame. Hey, it’s the side door—who cares, right? We care, I guess. We stripped the paint-caked 1-by casing and 70’s-era aluminum storm door (obviously purchased from “Dent City Doors”). I designed a layered casing package using PVC 1-by that not only looks smokin’ but gives this workhorse of an entrance the dignity and durability it deserves. Indeed a major function of a door is to enjoy using it and how it looks, for our family and the people who walk through it. It’s a “best foot forward” kind of thing, even if it’s in the back. Pre-Order the New, Remove the Old As much as I wish Step One were to trash the existing train wreck, it wasn’t. Instead, we measured and ordered the new storm/screen door. To fit the opening and match the house, the storm/screen was a special order, which took a little time to make and arrive. No problem. We spec’ed a Larson ScreenAway aluminum storm door for several reasons. It looks great, and we could easily get the size and swing direction we needed. The color matched our existing windows (Simonton’s Driftwood), and we could get the newest thing in hardware finishes that my designer (and wife) loves—oil-rubbed bronze. What may be my favorite feature, I never have to remove or replace the glass and screen again. It all stores—and deploys—seamlessly within the door. Brilliant. Oh, and unlike its predecessor, it’ll hold some weather out. Come on winter! I removed the old aluminum door (which is recyclable if you have someone around who scraps aluminum), then stripped the existing 1-by-4 casing that was beyond saving. The interior jamb was also a wreck, but since it remained I stripped the paint back to bare wood. You may not need to do this if your paint is OK, but I mention it because if you do, it is much easier with the door off. Be careful of lead paint on old houses. Designing a layered trim package is one of those things where your eyes can be bigger than your stomach. In other words, if you go overboard you end up with a pile of curlicue that looks worse than where you started. The best guidelines I can suggest are to keep your mouldings consistent with the style of the house and make them proportional to the size of the opening. You still want to add layers, texture and shadow lines, but a little goes a long way. And, if you’re unsure of your design, get a couple of other eyeballs on it for some feedback. For my purposes, ripping, routing and layering 1-by does the trick. I used Fypon PVC for all the 1-by material on this project. For a 32-in. door, a complete moulding assembly about 4-1/2-in. wide works nicely. I wouldn’t go bigger than 6 in., nor would I make it more than 2 in. proud of the wall cladding. Here’s what I did: I replaced the existing 1-by-4 with new to re-fill what I removed and bring it back flush with the existing stucco. I capped the face of the 1-by-4 with a 1-by ripped to 1-1/2 in. wide and routed with a cove. I wrapped the edge of the two-layer assembly with another coved 1-by, ripped to 1-3/4 in. Fabbing It Up. Fabrication is pretty straightforward. It’s easier to run a router on a wide piece of stock, so before ripping pieces to width, I rout the cove. Note: Even though I did it (brain cramp), the inside edges of the 1-by-4s don’t actually need to be routed because they’ll be covered by the Larson door’s hinge rails. I used a table saw to rip 8-foot lengths of PVC to width. If I’m setting up for a big PVC trim job on grass I like to lay out OSB or a drop cloth to catch the dust. I use PVC on my doors because it doesn’t decay. This is good for doors, but big piles of PVC dust can choke out patches of grass. If dust does get away from me, it’s better to suck it up than blow it away, and a leaf vacuum like a WorxTriVac is a good call. Trim Installation. Install the components in layers. Start by flushing the edge of the 1-by-4 to the inside edge of the jamb (no 1/8 or 1/4 in. reveal as with most doors). Measure from the floor to where the jamb-leg meets the head-jamb. This is the short-point of your 45-degree miter. Cut and Install the Components. Be aware that measuring to short points can sometimes be tricky, so cut carefully. You can always go a little long and trim if it doesn’t fit. Next, flush the second layer to the outside of the 1-by-4, cut to size, and face nail. Wrap the assembly with 1-by-1-3/4 on edge. I always whack a few nails or narrow crown staples through the miter to help keep it closed. If you have the time (I didn’t) to fill and paint the new casing before installing the storm/screen, do so. I did manage to get the caulk applied, though. Install the Storm Door I’ve installed a lot of aluminum storm/screens over the years, and they are an awesome bump for curb appeal and a nice addition to an energy-efficient home. The basic instructions are straightforward for most doors, but as with most instructions, they’re barebones. So instead of regurgitating them for you (how easy would that article be to write?), I want to highlight a few tricks to make installation faster, easier and more accurate. Work Table. I have a work-table of some sort set up for virtually every job I do. This operation is no exception. Trust me, I’ve installed enough of these doors with everything spread on the ground to know that a table will save you time, trouble—and your knees! Sawhorses and a sheet of 3/4-in. plywood will do the trick. Tools. An impact driver will cover 90-percent of the fastening/drilling tasks, but I also like to have a drill/driver, long driver bits, a twist drill bit set, a Dremel rotary tool, an awl, and a screwdriver to make some of the more finicky jobs easier to accomplish. Laying Out the Hinge Side. I like that Larson has you use the hinge-rail itself to mark the hinge-rail’s location on the house’s hinge-jamb. There is a special punch-out in the hinge-rail (it looks like the symbol for a toilet on a set of plans), and you butt the hinge-rail (minus the door) where it goes, with no guesswork. You then mark the hole and install a place-holder screw on which you will hang the door after you connect it to the hinge-rail. Fastening Hinge-Rail to Door. Pre-drilling the doorframe is necessary for the screws to grab, and pre-drilling is no problem if your 1/8-in. bit is sharp. However, it is tough on dull bits, and I have broken several pushing them too hard. It’s smart to have a few extra in the bullpen. Also, it’s nice to have a helper here to orient the hinges so you can work accurately. I find that getting the hinge-rail set tightly to the head jamb can be a little tough—even with the set-screw installed above. So I hang the hinge-rail on the set-screw, then wedge the door/rail assembly up tight (using my pry bar as a lever works nicely). Then, to make sure it stays, I drive a Torx screw through the lower layout hole, setting the rail fast. Slide Rail Extender.In the old days you had to cut the door rails to length with a hack saw. It was easy enough but made installing the door an all-or-nothing proposition; transpose 9 as a 6 and you need a new rail. Larson’s smart solution to this is the “slide rail extender,” a plastic sleeve that fits over the bottom of the jamb leg and extends it to the ground. Even if you don’t over-tighten the screws it’s a little cramped in there. I use a scratch awl to press it down without damaging it. Next, set the screws. Easy does it if you’re not an ace with an impact driver. All you need to do is snug the screws. Rails and Existing Jambs. Unless you order your door the exact size of your opening (which I do not recommend), you may have a reveal on the inside edge of the rail where there’s a gap between the rail and the existing jamb. This can be covered with caulk or a small stop-bead ripped on the table saw. Drip Cap. Set the drip cap such that the reveal—the distance between the door and the cap—is the same along the entire top of the door. This is done by “eyeball,” so make sure the door swings unobstructed before moving ahead. Lockset Installation. Installing the lockset is practically its own operation and can be slightly frustrating. At least for me, dealing with lots of small parts takes as long as everything else up to this point. The key here is organization: I use a 1-by-12 scrap to lay out everything so I can see it, get to it and move it. It saves all kinds of time. Lockset Template. I’ve had problems aligning these templates a couple of times now. It’s one of those “fold around the door” things, which works well on a square-edge door, but on the contours of the Larson I had a tough time aligning both sides dead on. Lockset Hole. Because I drilled my lockset holes slightly out of alignment, I was able to enlarge them just enough using my Dremel 8200. I ground a little metal away, tested the lock, ground more, tested again. As long as the faceplate of the lock covers, you’re OK. Fasten with a screwdriver to prevent over-driving. Lay Out the Strike.Use a sharp pencil and mark the location on the hinge-rail where the strike and bolt hit. Make Xs between the marks so that when you set the strike-plate you know what the lines indicate. I tack the strike-plate with tape, test that it works, then fasten it. Remove your pencil marks with an eraser. Sweep.Cut the rubber sweep about 1/2–in. proud on each side of the expander. Slide it in the rails and crimp. Then slide the expander on the door. Be careful of scratching the paint here. Once in place, inspect the door bottom for light coming through, then trim the sweep to size. Scissors work best. Closers. Installing the closers is yet another separate operation with its own instructions. I like to use a 6-in. long driver bit to fasten. The long driver enables me to drive the screws straight past the hardware without the tool bumping into it. I wish I had thought of doing this years ago. As for the closer itself, adjust the door closing speed with a screwdriver and be careful not to strip the nylon screw. Also, for seriously windy areas, don’t hesitate to drive a 3-1/2-in. Torx screw through each closer such that it catches framing. This will extend the life of your door and door jamb. A door that works great also adds to the beauty of the most-used opening of the home. Editor’s note: Mark Clement is host of MyFixitUpLife and a licensed contractor. Visit www.myfixituplife.com.

Benefits of marble floors Marble is very well-known and highly regarded natural stone, which has been in use since the Ancient Times. It can be applied in the building industry, to produce sculptures and in a widely understood architecture. Marble is classed as hard material, thanks to its mineral composition and to the way it has been formed. It is characterised by its unparalleled appearance, which is hard to mistake for anything else. In most cases, it is light stone with numerous veins, which run through a marble block, and which after undergoing the process of polishing, gets a permanent gloss, which shows off even more classical and dazzling look. From marble, you can produce flooring associated with luxury and prosperity. You will find more about the benefits of marble floors in our post. 1.Beautiful and noble look No other stone looks more stunning than marble. Because of its characteristic appearance, in our culture, marble has become the symbol of wealth and luxury. Laid on the floor, marble presents itself really ravishing and delights everyone with its structure. It is a perfect addition to different interior arrangements. It proves stunning both in the modern style and classical interiors. Marble is a very durable stone. Carefully taken care of and regularly maintained, it will look impeccable for many years, as demonstrated by the ancient excavations, where even until today we have been able to admire marble construction and architectural elements more than 2000 years old! 3. Marble as a perfect heat conductor Marble transmits heat very well, thanks to which it is an ideal choice for floors which are to be equipped with a heating system. Marble will the floor heat quickly and evenly, and you will be able to benefit fully from the beneficial effects of warm flooring. 4. Easy maintenance Marble floors need proper care so that they will look immaculate for a long time. It is worth investing into specialist products for cleaning and impregnating the stone to prevent it from going matt. The maintenance itself is not complicated and I can be carried out on your own.

The last two Women's College Basketball National Championship games have been decided by one single point. The national title game before that? Buzzer-beater three-point shot with 0.01 seconds left on the clock. With drama like that, maybe it's time to ask yourself, what's keeping me from watching the women's tournament? One Team, One Coach, One Movement The NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament tipped off for the first time in 1982. Since that inaugural tournament, the Southeastern Conference, better known as the SEC, has had a champion crowned nine times. The only other conference with that many is the Big East, but that's almost entirely due to the University of Connecticut. So what is it about the SEC that proves to be so dominant? The answer to that question is a resounding cry of Tennessee. The Lady Volunteers have cut down the net an incredible eight times in four decades. And what's even crazier is they were all done in the same 21-year span. That's straight-up filthy. From 1987-1998, they won it six times. It wasn't until UConn started to steal the spotlight that they were able to wrestle two more titles in the late 2000s. So how did Tennessee get to the top, and sustain, when there's constant turnover on the court? The answer to that question is the late, great Pat Summitt. The Tennessee legend passed away in 2016, but her legacy will outlive all of us. She amassed 1,098 career wins and was the Lady Vols head coach from 1974 until 2012. After the women's tournament finally came to be, Summitt's Lady Vols qualified every season of her career. In fact, she has built such a legacy that the program itself has never actually missed qualifying, even after she left. There are no worries in Knoxville when ESPN broadcasts the women's tournament bracket Selection Sunday show. They know what to expect. Pat Summitt was the pillar of consistency. When I was growing up, I didn't know a lot about college basketball. But what I did know, was Summitt was one of the best. Her first NCAA tournament at the helm was that inaugural one in 1982, but it was another five years before she would experience the glory of a National Championship. And then, the dominos started to fall. Lady Vols Pass the Torch to UConn Immediately prior to Tennessee's three-peat, Geno Auriemma won his first championship with UConn. Then he watched Summitt's blueprint work for the Vols for the next three years and found a way to take over, winning four of the next six titles with the Huskies. And beyond that, UConn has cut down the net 11 times, the most titles in tournament history. Those UConn teams were full of legends, including Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird, two of the WNBA's biggest stars to date. So when you look at the history of the NCAA tournament, these two teams account for 19 of a possible 40 women's college basketball championships. So where's the room for everyone else? We're in the midst of only the second time in the history of the women's tournament that a five-year span saw five different champions. The first time we saw it was 1991-1995. And then Tennessee and Connecticut went on their runs. The question now becomes will South Carolina or Connecticut, this year's favorites, break up that run with another win, or will we see someone new crowned this season? History tells us UConn is likely going to make a run to the championship game, but now is the time that they could fall short. And that has nothing to do with whether or not they're worthy of winning. Instead, it has everything to do with the parity that has started to build across Division I in the past decade. The Future of the Women's Game is Now Stanford, Baylor, Notre Dame and South Carolina are the last four tournament winners. And all will expect to find their way to the Final Four and beyond. And it's absolutely possible. Stanford's Tara VanDerveer is the NCAA's winningest women's basketball coach, and she is second all-time behind Duke's Mike Krzyzewski. Since 2007, Stanford has not fallen out of the tournament any earlier than the Sweet 16. Kim Mulkey had Baylor living in the Elite Eight during her tenure there, so they'll be looking to build on their 2019 championship and find their way to the Final Four after Mulkey left for LSU. Their Big Ten conference tournament defeat against Texas only makes that climb seem more difficult. Notre Dame is returning to the tournament after a noted absence last year, after moving on from Muffet McGraw and into the Niele Ivey era. South Carolina will be looking to the likes of Aliyah Boston to take them to the promised land after a tough loss in the 2021 NCAA National Title game. But it's not just those recent winners who could make a charge to the top. They don't call it March Madness for the heck of it. Iowa will be looking to ride the coattails of Caitlin Clark's incredible season. Maryland and Louisville are favorites to make a splash. Can Arizona get back to the title game and take that one extra step? Or will Indiana channel Bobby Knight's men's era and elevate their game? We're no longer living in the times in which Pat Summitt and Geno Auriemma's squads have a stranglehold on the game. Do both Tennessee and UConn have a chance to add to their illustrious histories? Yes, absolutely. But there are so many others who have stepped into the playground as well. I would love to see someone new raise a banner this year. Let's see that wildfire continue to spread to other programs across the country. Tennessee and UConn made others want to compete. Sometimes it takes a dynasty for a chance to see someone train and compete to unseat them. Why You Should Watch the Women's Tournament The continued parity developing across NCAA Division I basketball is nothing but a positive thing for the game. There are only so many spots on a roster and young women across the country seeing those spots pop up in different programs is only going to continue to build competition and help the sport continue to grow. We, as a nation, probably don't give the focus we should to the women's side of the tournament. We follow the men's basketball programs at Duke, Kansas and North Carolina, but the mainstream media hasn't given the same coverage to the women's programs with similar resumes. That feels like it's about to change. And the excitement of the wide variety of competition can do nothing but help to tell us that we should have been paying attention all along. Ask yourself again, what's keeping me from watching the women's tournament?

State of Qatar Bordered on three sides by the Arabian (Persian) Gulf and on its fourth (southern) side by Saudi Arabia, Qatar is a small desert state comprising mainly stone (jebel) desert and more limited areas of dune. It is one of only two locations in the world where dunes meet the sea (the other being Namibia). It is one of the hottest countries in the world with summer temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius, and is certainly one of the driest, being the only country in the world with no natural standing fresh water. More than 90 per cent of the country’s land surface is saline, being inhospitable to all but the most halophytic of plants. Despite this harsh, salty, hot and arid environment, Qatar can provide excellent birding from August through to May. Geographically, the peninsula of Qatar juts some 150 km northwards into the Arabian Gulf. The right wind conditions in spring, autumn and even winter can bring thousands of migrants flooding into the country. The State of Qatar has an indigenous population of c.350,000, supplemented by an immigrant workforce of more than 2 million. Oil and, especially, natural gas have fuelled Qatar’s meteoric development from poor, sleepy pearl fishing backwater to a modern affluent society with international investment interests and political ambitions. Per native capita, it is the richest country in the world. Now the designated host for the FIFA 2022 World Cup, the country has invested heavily in its infrastructure development, including a world class Metro rail system and the construction of seven new stadiums. The road network has also been substantially upgraded. Since 2107, a blockade has sealed Qatar’s border with Saudi Arabia as well as closing links and all travel between the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt. Birds and Wildlife As for birds, claims of the historic occurrence of exotic species such as Arabic Ostrich are now considered erroneous, though there is no doubt that the now extirpated Macqueen’s Bustard was once a regular winter visitor. Urban areas now host the typical array of invasive, introduced and opportunistic Arabian-Asian species, including White-eared and Red-vented Bulbuls, the ubiquitous Common Myna, House Sparrow (of the eastern indicus group), Indian Silverbill, Laughing & Eurasian Collared Doves, Alexandrine & Ring-necked Parakeets and the occasional House Crow (which thankfully has yet to gain a strong foothold in the country). In rural areas, characterised by seemingly unending miles of stone desert with scattered sprawling pivot farms, commonly found species include Spanish Sparrow, Namaqua Dove, Corn Bunting, Crested Larks and Grey Francolin. Of particular interest to the visiting birdwatcher will be resident and passage species such as Arabian Grey Shrike, Greater Hoopoe and Desert Larks, Lilith Owl, Indian Reef and Striated Herons, Indian Reed Warbler, Ferruginous Duck, Graceful Prinia, Green-backed (African) Swamphen, four forms of Stonechat, Rufous-tailed Scrub Robin – plus of course some key target birds such as the Arabian endemic Socotra Cormorant, Menetries’s Warbler, Red-tailed Wheatear, Crab Plover, Cream-coloured Courser, Saunder’s and White-cheeked Terns, Black-crowned Sparrow-lark and the notoriously unpredictable (Grey) Hypocolius. The peak periods to visit Qatar for birding are September-November and February to April, though birding can be good any time between August and May. All sites mentioned below are publicly accessible, though as with anywhere in the Middle East you should use common sense and respect local customs, and avoid birdwatching and photography near sensitive buildings/areas. InformationSatellite ViewAl Dakhira (Al Thakira) is located c.60km from Doha to the northeast and provides access to Qatar’s mangrove forests which can also be explored on organised kayak tours. Purple Island (Jazirat al Ghanem), is an accessible location which has a newly constructed wooden causeway that bridges across the mangroves. Flamingo, Little and Western Great Egret, Purple and Grey Heron are commonly seen in the many inlets and pools. It is best to avoid weekends as it can be busy, even early in the morning. Across the bay, further views of the mangroves can be obtained at Forest End. This is almost the only place in Qatar where trees grow naturally. - Fuwairit Beach and sandbar InformationSatellite ViewIn winter, large numbers of terns and many gulls gather on the low tide sand bar. Pallas’s and Steppe Gulls predominate, along with Lesser Crested Terns. The nearby lagoon provides shelter for herons, roosting waders and terns. In spring and autumn, migrants can be found in the village, mangroves and salt marsh scrub surrounding the lagoon. Socotra Cormorant can be seen all year round in small numbers. - WebpageSatellite ViewIrkaya Farm is located off the Abu Samra Road about 50 kilometers west of Doha in the south central plain of Qatar. Irkaya sits like a glowing emerald in the middle of the desert. It is home to many resident species and lies on the flight path of migratory birds and insects passing through Qatar. It can even be seen from space on satellite maps. The fields consist of sandy and loamy topsoil on a flat, sandy plain with water-worn pebbles. The rest of the terrain is low, rocky limestone upland with scattered boulders and sparse vegetation. All native species of plant at Irkaya benefit from the absence of grazing animals - InformationSatellite ViewLocated 60km southwest of Doha, Al Karaana was formerly a waste water collection area, with ten separate lagoons that absorbed 6,000 cubic metres of industrial wastewater per day since 2006. Unsurprisingly, the area accumulated contaminated sediments and solids at the bottom of the lagoons of up to 3.5m in some areas. The old lagoons were drained and the contaminated sludge treated. Three artificial lagoons have been designed (two are in service currently) which will store about 2.4 million cubic metres of treated water coming from Al Karaana treatment plant. The area has been planted with reeds and rushes and now contain a thriving habitat including birds, fish, frogs and other animals. The area is now a good location to observe herons, egrets and waterfowl, as well as osprey, marsh harrier in good numbers. - Khor Al-Adaid (The Inland Sea) InformationSatellite ViewCurrently listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Khor Al-Adaid (aka Khor Al Udeid) is lauded by travel agencies as a top tourist attraction. It is one of only two locations in the world where dunes reach the shoreline. If dune bashing is your thing, then maybe it is worth a visit; but do not go there expecting to see lots of wildlife, especially birds. Apart from a few distant Greater Flamingos and the odd pair of nesting Western Ospreys, the area offers little of real interest to the visiting birder. Do not be misled by articles describing thousands of birds; these are written by those who have never picked up a pair of binoculars, let alone bird-watched in the area! - InformationSatellite ViewThis picnic area on the west coast is a somewhat disappointing sight to behold, being heavily littered and soiled with the detritus of human beach goers. But in the palms and trees can be found migrants, in both spring and autumn. In fact, this whole stretch of coastline is worth exploring when birds are on the move north or south. The star bird is Hypocolius, which occurs in small flocks, albeit unpredictably on its journeys to and from Saudi, Bahrain and Iran. Occasionally, groups overwinter, though this phenomenon is becoming increasingly rare. Socotra Cormorant can often be seen offshore in small numbers.

Pool cues can be classified as Snooker, American Pool, or Wooden. Some cues are made of various materials, including wood and aramid, and some are made of composite materials. American pool cues are the most common type of pool cue. Ramin cues are also available for purchase. Listed below are some of the common types of pool cues. Modern pool cues are lighter than wooden ones, making them ideal for high-speed play. They are also more economically priced. A few pros and cons of new pool cues include low deflection angle, increased accuracy, and lower force than wooden ones. Some are made of carbon fiber, so be prepared to pay a little extra. But carbon fiber is highly durable, and you can expect it to last for decades. You can visit the PoolCueGuide site to find more information about different types of pool cues. There are many different types of pool cues, but most people don’t use them for this purpose. The most common type is made from hard rock maple. However, other materials, such as ebony and ivory, are also popular. Some cues use exotic woods, such as Brazilian rosewood or cocobolo. Other woods used for a pool cue include blackwood, olive wood, Ziricote, and Bocote. American pool cues One of the most famous brands of American pool cues is the Schmelke Cue Company, based in Wisconsin. The company has been in the cue-making business for over 50 years. It is perhaps best known for its Sneaky Pete line, but it produces many quality cues. The manufacturing process at Schmelke includes five straightness tests and an exceptional UV finish to keep the pool cues straight. The traditional style of the pool cue is wood. Still, you can also choose one made of composite materials such as graphite or fiberglass. Composite materials have advantages and disadvantages. Unlike wood, fiberglass and carbon fiber are difficult to damage and do not absorb moisture. Wooden pool cues have a more traditional feel, so you can still play comfortably with one. However, there are several pros and cons to each material. The cue’s shaft is a durable hardwood with a 13mm leather tip. These types of pool cues are only suitable for residential use. While leather tips are great for the game, some users have complained that they are fragile. Nevertheless, wooden pool cues make playing pool easy. These cues are made with the proper balance so that you can hit the ball with confidence. A high gloss finish and a lifetime guarantee prevent damage for added security. Ramin pool cues When you’re looking for a pool cue, you might be wondering which one to buy. Ramin cues are one of the most popular choices for many pool players. You can choose between a one-piece stick, which is less expensive and more commonly used in pubs, and a custom-made one with a screw-on tip. However, a custom-made cue is likely more costly and may feature ivory, precious metals, and exotic woods. Although these cues are made of Ramin wood, the main advantage is that they are inexpensive. Most of them come in single pieces, making them perfect for use in pubs and clubs. Ramin pool cues are affordable, but they do have some shortcomings. Because they are cheap, they are only suited for light use. The tips are not attached with glue, so they can be easily removed and replaced if you change your mind. Additionally, they do not last as long as other pool cues, so you might want to choose a different one. Laminate pool cues While leather and plastic pool cues are often used for casual billiards, there are some differences. For starters, leather pool cues have a different curvature than plastic ones. And while leather pool cues are more durable, plastic ones do not last as long. Also, unlike leather, plastic pool cues don’t have any sharp edges. So, if you have an old pool cue lying around, it may be time to buy a new one. If you’re looking for a cue with the best quality, look for a laminated model. Laminate pool cues are made of several pieces of timber that have been glued together, like a sheet of plywood. They can have a chevron pattern or different wood species. These cues also tend to be more flexible and durable than wooden cues. However, wood cues can warp over time. Low Deflection pool cues Low Deflection pool cues are designed with unique construction techniques that reduce the mass of the shaft tip. Because they’re designed to be less deflective, they are generally more expensive than other pool cues. They also have better pool tips, ferrules, and designs. Although low deflection pool cues are great for beginners, practicing jump shots can be difficult. Therefore, serious pool players can invest in a dedicated jump cue. Low Deflection pool cues are great for new players because they reduce “squirt.” Squirt is a term for the amount of sidespin caused by the shaft of a pool cue. Low Deflection shafts minimize the squirt and allow players to compensate for it. It can be crucial for players since squirt can deviate from the desired outcome.

Follow-up: Once they have attended a roundtable and got the flavor of the program, follow-up to see what they thought, and how engaging the startup companies within their organization would help them. Close the deal: If they agree to partner, work with Maureen to add them to the right lists, get their logos on our site, etc. Work the EDO: Ask for a list of 10 entrepreneurs who would benefit from the program, and get them to follow the methodology, and bring them to pitch at the roundtables. Ambassador Deliverables (contd. - 1) Internal Ambassadors: From among those within the EDOs who are using the program, develop internal ambassadors. Internal ambassadors should do exactly what you do, but with a group of entrepreneurs within the EDO / geography they are in. As we develop the internal ambassadors, our penetration of the geo / EDO will become deeper. Each 1M1M ambassador needs to develop 10 Internal ambassadors. Ambassador Deliverables (contd. -2) Further penetration into the EDO/Geo: For every entrepreneur who is ready to pitch, there are at least 100 who are not. Conceivably, the Internal Ambassadors can run classes within the EDO to prepare entrepreneurs to pitch at the roundtables (and consequently to customers, partners, investors). 1M1M ambassadors can also run such classes within the EDOs in your geo. The goal is to get entrepreneurs oriented to the basics of the methodology and utilize the resources we’re putting together. Ambassador Deliverables (contd. -3) Connecting the dots:Much of business success is about connecting the dots. I have a large network that I am willing to put to work for 1M1M. To the extent you feel comfortable, you can both access the network, as well as get the broader 1M1M community to leverage it. This is why, I encourage all of you, your EDO contacts, the entrepreneurs – to use LinkedIn extensively. It is the easiest way for us to use the network for customer validation, developing business partnerships, finding investors, etc. Role of the Network There is a host of additional services that we could offer, but until we have critical mass and can start getting some sponsors, it would be difficult to finance high quality services such as:A private 1M1M CEO loungeA 1M1M Mentor networkA 1M1M Angel networkA deal screening service that presents a set of screened deals to mentors, investors, or VCsSo, our immediate goal is to close 1000 EDO partnerships, and get to 1 million entrepreneurs following the basic EJ methodology.
