Best Surf Spots in Indonesia for
The wavelength reaches 50 – 150 m. The seabed at Dreamland Beach consists of coral and sharp rock fragments. On weekdays there are very few surfers here, only a few people. On the weekends — lots of it!
If you are a beginner at learning to surf, Batu karas beach are the best choice because they have not very high waves.
After the tsunami on 27 December 2004, the waves were getting better as reefs rose above one meter making the waves faster, more concave, and much more consistent. | <urn:uuid:7255fcfe-e638-471a-b875-67792b02577c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://candrajourney.com/web-stories/best-surf-spots-in-indonesia-for-beginners-and-professionals/ | 2024-04-24T03:22:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.96408 | 119 |
Taking up enough space to fill two complete CD’s and a half with its 200 minutes of play time, experimentalists Wozzeck‘s Act 5 is an experience in tediousness, repetitiveness, droning, long polyrhythms, and slowly evolving music.
The album is divided into 5 parts, each of 40 minutes, and each with its fundamental concept. It was recorded as a trio consisting of bass, drums, and a computer/keyboards/electronics/voice/guitars person, who happens to be the mastermind behind the project, Ilia Belorukov. The first part, “Act 5.1”, stems from a single 11/8 bar at 120 bpm, and is divide in 8 parts with 5 one-minute fragments each. The whole song isn’t in 11/8, though, as there are some variations on the theme throughout. It is pretty straightforward yet full of unexpectedness. Like I said, it’s slowly evolving, so you get caught in the monotony of a part, and then, all of a sudden, it changes and you have to adapt. It’s a fun beat (with variations) to listen, the bass and drums do a great job of keeping the groove, while there are spoken samples and other electronic noises brought upon it all.
“Act 5.2” is based upon the ratio pi. Well, at least its first 40 numerals. The first minute of the song is in 3/4, while the second is in 1/4, and the next ones are in 4/4, 1/4, 5/4, 9/4, and so on. Sound-wise, the bass signal goes through the computer to get processed and thus gives off an abrasive electronic tone. Add on top of that the various electronic divagations, similar to those found on Act 5.1, and pounding drums, and you’ve got it. This section more resembles Lightning Bolt, or even Wozzeck’s Act IV in sound: it’s relentless and dirty. An interesting moment here is when the sequence reaches the number 0, a 0/4 time signature: there is no sound, only feedback from whatever microphone was left open.
The third part of this monstrous work is rather based on a short guitar riff reminiscent of what you’d hear from a black metal band. There are 40 patterns here, each played intuitively, as some sort of improvisation, where each member has to closely follow what the others play in order to provide adequate musical support. Here the riffs are played and silenced in alternate 30 seconds sequences. Between which the band gets to know what part to play next, but this makes for a very disjointed piece. Each part could’ve been played one minute, instead of thirty seconds, and it wouldn’t have been too long either. I get that it would be quite hard to communicate what part to do next in a live setting, but I believe it would’ve been better for the listener’s experience of the song. Definitely my least favourite track.
5.4 is allegedly the most tranquil and slow part, with a tempo of 30 bpm. It’s based on the C major scale, where each note is played consecutively, and each chord lasts five minutes, finally covering all the triads of the C major scale within 40 minutes. Improvisation is minimal. The song is mostly bass, organ, and drums, all playing a very minimal part. The interesting moments really are the note changes: from Ionian to Dorian, to Phrygian, to Lydian, to Mixolydian, to Aeolian, to Locrian, and back to Ionian. When you’re in a chord, you can only difficultly grasp its place in the chord, its resolve, but at the junction of two notes, you really see a movement forward. That’s a small moment of action separated by long moments passed in the same waters. It’s a somewhat interesting experiment, mostly for those of you who like ambient music.
The final instalment of Act 5, “Act 5.5”, is a composition where each 1-minute fragment is separated differently, from half-half to one-third/two-thirds, to 1/59, and many things in-between. Each sub-part is quiet, with only keyboards, while the second is some sort of wonky drums, with bass and weird electronic noises. This one is not nearly as exciting as it sounds on paper. I feel like 5 minutes of this was annoying enough, but 40 minutes is simply overkill. This idea, I feel, wasn’t thought out well enough, or simply was poorly executed. Along with 5.3, this one is a song that I would excise from the record without remorse.
Overall, it’s a really interesting experimental album, for those of you not afraid to sit for more than 3 hours of monotonous music. Three songs out of five were worth it, however, and a 20-minute version of 5.3, without the silences, might also prove a good listen. For the rest of you, I still believe you should check it out. 5 dollars for that much music is a steal! | <urn:uuid:25df5173-ddd7-4a9a-a606-a47c774da176> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://canthisevenbecalledmusic.com/wozzeck-act-5/ | 2024-04-24T03:07:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.970552 | 1,116 |
This strategy aims to purchase corporate equities at a discount to the intrinsic value of the company. This is a long-term and patient approach to investing and the projected investment period when purchasing an individual equity is typically two to five years. The actual holding period may differ for a variety of reasons, including a change in the company’s prospects or business environment, change of management, dramatic price changes in the stock price and other factors.
The approach to value investing is flexible. Rather than adhering to one school of value investing, methodologies utilized include the sum of the parts, deep value, growth at a reasonable price, use of multiple valuation measures, relative value and other value investing methodologies. With twenty years in corporate mergers and acquisitions experience, Matthew Gensler, the manager of this program, realizes that there are many paths to corporate valuations, and he has used this experience in his subsequent investment management career.

Have you ever looked at germs under a microscope? It is eye-opening. Teaching kids about germs is an important task. With that said, I’ll be straight up with you: my 3.5-year-old son likes to lick things.
He will lick a doorknob, a bench, a window, a figurine, his brother, me, you name it. In other words, he is an oral sensory seeker for sure. With that said, how do we teach kids about germs without constantly hounding them?
I figure a good starting point is to explore the question, “What do germs look like?”
What Do Germs Look Like?
Today we were at a play structure, and he my son licked a handle on the gym.
I finally had enough and said to him:
“Do you know what germs are?”
“Yes, they can make me sick.”
“Well, some of them, yes.”
“Can we see germs, mama?”
“No, we can’t see them. That is what makes them even more dangerous to our bodies.”
“Well, what are they, mama?”
“They are bugs that get into your body and can make you very ill.”
Teaching Kids about Germs
At that moment, his face twisted up. I could see his brain trying to wrap itself around bugs crawling from the handle into his mouth. At first, my stomach dropped, thinking that the “Do or Die” approach wasn’t the most appropriate. In other words, I don’t want to raise a person completely nuts about germs.
On the other hand, the more he knows, the more likely his behavior will change for the better. I want him to understand germs, that they can be dangerous but that they can also that the “right kinds” of germs can HELP our bodies. So not all germs are harmful.
He led the learning on this one. I can’t count on my hands the number of times we’ve converged on learning. Typically, I have something in mind, and he takes it in another direction, for which I am often unprepared. However, today was different because we were on the same page.
As I cooked dinner (and by “cook,” I mean re-heat pizza and cut up vegetables.), he began asking more questions:
“What do germs look like, mom?”
“Why can’t I see them?”
“If they are so small, why do they make me sick?”
“Can I see them with my magnifying glass?”
What are the four types of germs?
According to KidHealth.org, the four significant germs are bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. Germs invade plants, animals, and people. However, sometimes germs can make us sick, but not all are bad.
I recently read an article that offered a visual of the germs on an 8-year-old boy’s hand. The growth took place over several days. The visual is striking and honestly made me gag a bit.
At first glance, your first thought is, “MUST WASH HANDS NOW,” but here is the thing: not all disgusting-looking bacteria, yeast, and other fungi are harmful to our bodies. In other words, as an example, bacteria help keep things in balance.
Facts about Germs
Good bacteria live in our intestines and help us use the nutrients in our food and make waste from what’s left over. Furthermore, some of these germs are found naturally in the dirt, such as a rod-shaped Bacillus. With that said, many germs are indistinguishable. Therefore, the conclusion is to wash hands often and wash them well.
Bacteria are tiny, one-celled creatures that get nutrients from their environments to live.
Viruses need to be inside living cells to grow and reproduce. Most viruses can’t survive very long if they’re not inside a host, a living thing like a plant, animal, or person. Some viruses live on surfaces such as handles, knobs, and countertops for a short time. So, it is essential to wash your hands often.
Fungi are multi-celled plant-like organisms. Unlike other plants, fungi cannot make food from soil, water, and air. Instead, fungi get their nutrition from plants, people, and animals.
Protozoa are one-cell organisms that love moisture and often spread diseases through water. Some protozoa cause intestinal infections that lead to diarrhea, nausea, and belly pain.
What Do Germs Look Like?
So, I pulled out my laptop and searched “germ images microscope images” Not only did we find lots of close-up images of germs and some great germ learning tools. I was able to introduce words like “bacteria,” “virus,” “protozoa,” and “fungi” to him. We even began talking about the function of the immune system. KidsHealth.org has an excellent little germ overview with audio.
Science Activity to Teach Kids about Germs
So we had the images, but how can we demonstrate further in a hands-on way what germs do to within a person’s body? The good news is that there are several easy and concrete science experiments you can do with your preschooler to learn more about the impact of germs.
You can use yeast, grow mold, use lotion and glitter, or cook rice to demonstrate how germs spread and how tough it is to get them out of our bodies my favorite: Sprinkle black pepper (“germs”) in a bowl of water. The pepper will float. Then add a drop of dishwashing soap to the center of the bowl. Watch the soap “scare the germs away.”
Practical Life Activity about Germs
A great segue into the importance of handwashing. Creating a “hand washing accessible” environment that allows kids to wash their own hands is key to integrating this important habit into your home. There is an excellent hand-washing guide on the Children’s Health Fund website. Print it out and place it in your home or classroom as a reminder for the child.
When examining germs on the internet, my son bolted to the bathroom screaming: “Mom, I gotta wash my hands with A LOT of soap.” I don’t want to freak him out completely, but I think there is merit in helping him understand germs. There are beneficial and harmful germs.
Montessori believed that if a child understands the parts of a tree, an animal, etc., he will not only understand botany and zoology but also gain respect for these real-life things.
If you understand how your body works and how food impacts it, you are more likely to care for yourself differently. At least, that is what I believe.

In the meantime, I have ordered these books from the library:

Unique artist’s book
In 1977 the Voyager program launched two space probes, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, to study the planetary systems of the outer Solar System. It was perfect timing – the spacecraft were able to take advantage of a rare geometric alignment of the outer planets – one that would only occur every 175 years. This alignment allowed the probes to use a newly developed technique called gravity assist, utilizing the planets’ gravity to slingshot around the planets and propel the probes toward their next destination.
Voyager 1 passed Saturn and ended its primary mission in 1980, and has been speeding away from the Sun’s pull ever since. In 1990 it turned back around to face us, and snapped the Solar System “Family Portrait,” the source of the “Pale Blue Dot” image made famous by astronomer Carl Sagan.
Voyager 2 completed its “Grand Tour” of the outer Solar System in 1989 after its visit to Neptune. Like Voyager 1, it continues on its trajectory toward interstellar space.
The impact of the Voyagers’ discoveries was huge. Moons and planetary rings were discovered. Strange cloud patterns and intense winds were measured. Moons were seen to be active bodies, with volcanism, tectonic processes, and atmospheres reminiscent of Earth’s before life evolved.
This piece explores the Voyager mission conceptually and literally. On the first two levels inside the box, the spacecraft are represented by scrolls that, once unrolled, reveal the distances they’ve traveled. Each segment in the scrolls represents the distance from one planet to the next, while the final segment represents the distance from the final planet to where the probes are today.
The third level inside the box allows a peek at something that can’t quite be made out, while the final level reveals it and some of the discoveries the Voyagers made at each planet they visited.
There is a particular mix of science, philosophy, and heart embedded within the Voyager mission that instills feelings of wonder, awe, and hope – both because of the science that came out of the mission, and the fact that the mission happened at the right place and time to allow the two probes to be so much more than their basic technological components. And, of course, the fact that the spacecraft are still out there, speeding into interstellar space.

Some researchers believe that an average person gets irritated up to 3 times a day. This sounds quite realistic, because there are more than enough things in our lives to drive us crazy.

Ladies….. SHOP CHICOS for your holiday style! They have some beautiful things ALWAYS, but particularly right now! When THIS sweater first showed up on their website I immediately noticed it! The pattern and bright vibrant red color is SO CHIC! When color and pattern come together, I’m always IN! But then there’s velvet, and lace, and all kinds of good things, just in time for the holidays.
Which brings me to….. the holidays this year and your celebrations. How will you all be celebrating? Even though our gatherings will be much, much, MUCH smaller than normal, the holidays STILL require fantastic outfits and festivities. Even……. if it’s just for TWO!
I loved these velvet pieces because they are so comfortable to lounge around in at home. You can wear them separately with other things in your closet like…. the leggings with an oversized flannel shirt? Or the velvet top, with your comfiest pair of distressed boyfriend jeans and flats (or slippers). These are the kinds of pieces that will last for years, timeless you could say.
And this dress….. slash, kimono! Oh my heavens! It is FABULOUS! I like it the most worn open (over the velvet) like a kimono or some would call it a duster. The fabric flows beautifully! Worn as a dress with some heels is GORGEOUS as well! I will be wearing this with THESE FUN JEANS.
And the jeans have a sassy sequin stripe going down the side. They fit like a glove (I think my best fitting pair of Chicos denim to date) and will go with all of your Christmas sweaters, a blazer, even a simple tee and sneakers! I LOVE them!
My accessories today are a statement pair of earrings, gold bracelets, and this DARLING RED PURSE! The crossbody style is easy and the perfect size for your cell phone, lipgloss, mints, and glasses! Such a fun pop of color for any outfit. Red I’m pretty sure is a neutral!!!! Oh…… and of course my FABULOUS MASK too!! Chicos masks are so nice to wear because they’re lightweight and silky against your face!
So….. shop CHICOS for your holiday style and you won’t be disappointed. Not at all! And not only will these be great for the holidays, but throughout your whole winter season!
THESE ARE SOME MORE OF MY FAVORITE CHICOS FINDS…. | <urn:uuid:137a5f48-ab2d-4965-9339-8b5e09e88f75> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://chicover50.com/shop-chicos-for-your-holiday-style/ | 2024-04-24T02:27:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.918802 | 536 |
Last week, a spiky Global Times editorial blasted Australia as a “paper cat” over its position on the South China Sea, bringing the perennial question of how seriously to take the nationalist state-owned tabloid back to the fore. While its provocative editorials are often reported abroad as reflective of official positions, critics accuse it of empty attention-grabbing and argue that it is best treated with skepticism, if not ignored entirely. In a profile of the newspaper and its outspoken editor Hu Xijin, Quartz’s Zheping Huang presents Hu’s own view on the matter:
China’s most belligerent tabloid, the Global Times, is certainly a one-of-a-kind publication. The Chinese- and English-language news outlet is published by the ruling Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) paramount mouthpiece, the People’s Daily, but it goes much further than China’s typically stodgy state news. The Global Times is best known for its hawkish, insulting editorials—aggressive attacks that get it noticed, and quoted, by foreign media around the world as the “voice” of Beijing, even as the party’s official statements are more circumspect.
That’s not exactly a mistake, the paper’s longtime editor says.
The Global Times often reflects what party officials are actually thinking, but can’t come out and say, editor-in-chief Hu Xijin explained during a long interview with Quartz in his drab Beijing office in the People’s Daily compound. As a former army officer and current party member, Hu said, he often hangs out with officials from the foreign ministry and the security department, and they share the same sentiments and values that his paper publishes. “They can’t speak willfully, but I can,” he said. [Source]
Hu expounded his claim that Global Times offers an unfiltered view of at least some officials’ true thinking in a separate interview with Huang at Quartz:
Many foreign news outlets assume your editorials and op-eds can be interpreted as the Communist Party’s official voice. Is that a misunderstanding?
It’s hard to give a simple answer to this question. I’m appointed by the Communist Party, so it can influence me. My tone is in line with the Communist Party. I will never turn against the party. We live in the same system. We have many similar understandings, sentiments and values.
As a market-driven news outlet, we have more freedom of reportage. We can say all kinds of stuff, while party media or official media can’t. The stuff we say is probably the same as some officials are thinking in many cases.
But it’s like this: We say these words, and the officials probably think the same, but turning them into policies is another thing. Sometimes there’s a big gap between an idea and a policy. Some ideas might never be turned into policies. Not to mention that I don’t dare to say my ideas are always the same as that of officials. There are some officials who don’t like me. For example the late ambassador Wu Jianmin, he openly criticized me. [Read more on Wu and his run-ins with Hu via CDT.]
[…] Have government officials ever ordered the Global Times to write an editorial, or write one in a certain way?
I can’t say never. But rarely.
[…] In April, an opinion poll on your website asked whether China should take over Taiwan by force “in three to five years time.” Media reports say that the Global Times was warned by the cyberspace watchdog for this?
It’s true. These kinds of things happen quite often. It’s nothing. I’m still sitting here, right? A news outlet is a practical institution, not a theoretical one. I need to make some judgements. Sometimes they might conflict with a policy, and I’ll be criticized. When they criticize us, we’ll improve our work. It’s not a big deal. It won’t kill my enthusiasm. It’s normal under the system. [Source]
A Cyberspace Administration of China notice circulated to media editors on that occasion also criticized Global Times for coverage of the South China Sea, North Korea, Hong Kong, the release of the last Tiananmen prisoner, and Donald Trump. It concluded:
The newspaper has one month to make focused corrections, standardize related management systems, further improve the process by which articles are drafted and reviewed, and conduct education for the entire editorial staff, in order to raise awareness of politics, national interests, the core, and keeping in line with the Party. All websites should take this as a warning and strengthen their respective management systems. If another problem occurs, it will be dealt with severely. [Source]
Hu’s lengthy conversation at Quartz also touched on Hu’s presence at the 1989 Tiananmen protests, and the subsequent experiences in the disintegrating U.S.S.R. and the former Yugoslavia which he says convinced him of the need for strong Party rule to maintain stability in China. Hu also discusses the relationship between the interests of Party and people; the struggle to “adhere to press freedom and the party’s leadership at the same time”; his feelings on the looming U.S. election and Sino-U.S. relations; his hopes for greater diversity of opinion and the eventual fall of the Great Firewall; and his surprising suggestion that “in general the West’s criticism of China, including the pressures put on China’s human rights [development], is constructive. In the long run, the West’s criticism will promote the development of China’s human rights. [… But w]e can never let the West set the agenda, roadmap and timetable for China’s human rights development. Otherwise, human rights will become the West’s political leverage over China.”
In a third piece, Huang focuses on Global Times’ foreign staff, who work in the English edition’s separate office in the “iconic” People’s Daily building. This article includes an explanation for the paper’s sometimes surprising forays into sensitive subject areas. In 2014, for example, it reported on “skyrocketing” usage of VPNs to circumvent Chinese internet controls. Many such articles are quickly deleted, but that one survives to this day.
There are currently around twenty foreign editors working with the Global Times who are referred to as “foreign experts,” a clichéd nickname for any foreigner working with Chinese state media. They do everything from assigning stories to reporting to copy editing—as long as the coverage is not about politics.
[…] Foreigners work for Chinese state media, including the Global Times, for all kinds of reasons. Some just want to stay in China with a well paid job that isn’t being an English teacher, Mitchell said, while others are “idealists” who think they will “convert the publication to a western point of view.” And others are in it for the novelty value. “I once helped the Communist Party with the propaganda machine—it’s funnier than anything,” one former foreign editor, who asked not to be named, said. He said he didn’t feel embarrassed working with the Global Times, but some did leave because they were sick of serving the party.
[…] In 2013 after departing the tabloid, Mitchell wrote a blog post titled “It’s not a sin to work for Global Times” to counter an opinion from a Hong Kong reporter. “The opinion page continues to suck dead rats and draws the most negative attention,” he wrote, “but if one sifts through the news pages there are still some gems.”
“The main point of Global Times was just Hu’s opinion pieces and the other opinion pieces written by left-wing political commentators,” the former foreign editor, who wished not to be named said. “All of the other content on the newspaper were simply there to provide more pages.” But because of that, more provocative reporters are enabled to cover sensitive topics including gay rights, labor protests, and ethnic minority groups, he said.

This is a Liverpool Swivel Cheek, These are 3 Slot (even thought pic shows 2 slot).
Many horses, even very sensitive ones, accept leather bits and often respond with more chewing and salivation. These leather bits are made of vegetable-tanned hide and stitched together by hand. Available soft or hard.
Made in Germany
Curb Chain sold separately
Care instructions for Beris leather mouthpieces: Prior to first use, soak the mouthpiece thoroughly in cooking oil. Repeat if the leather seems dry. Prior to every use, soak briefly in cold water. Rinse after every use to prevent deterioration of the bit due to saliva.
Mouthpieces made of leather are softer and lighter, but horses’ teeth are considerable harder and can therefore considerably shorten the lifespan of a bit made of this material. If the bit is placed correctly in the area between the incisors and molars, damage is unlikely, but not impossible. Therefore, we cannot offer any warranty for damages due to bite marks or incorrect placement of the bit.

Since the announcement that Hope Village is not seeking a contract extension from the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), the CIC has been gathering information on the BOP's plan for current residents after the current contract expires on April 30, 2020. The CIC has also inquired about impact on individuals currently housed in BOP facilities with upcoming dates for release to a halfway house.
The BOP shared that staff visited Hope Village on Tuesday April 14, 2020 to meet with individual residents about their proposed release plans. Today the BOP has shared that of the 140 individuals currently at Hope Village, they expect to release 102 individuals to home confinement. The BOP anticipates releasing six more individuals to home confinement next week, once their release plans have been completed.
Thirty-two individuals will be transferred to the Volunteers of America Chesapeake facility at 5000 E Monument St. Baltimore, MD the week of April 27, 2020. The BOP indicated that they do not anticipate returning any individuals currently at Hope Village to BOP secure facilities.
Individuals currently on home confinement or transferred to home confinement will report to CORE DC for supervision under a new contract. The CIC has requested additional information on the specifics of this contract.
The CIC is still working to obtain information on how the closure of Hope Village will impact individuals currently in prison with upcoming dates to be transferred to a halfway house. The CIC encourages the BOP to transfer as many of these individuals as possible to home confinement in order to maintain sufficient space in other area halfway houses to accommodate individuals with security concerns or without a release residence.
The CIC will update this document as we receive additional information.

At The Drive-In – Transgressive Records to reissue Acrobatic Tenement and Relationship of Command
January 29, 2013
At The Drive-In
Transgressive Records to reissue classic albums
Acrobatic Tenement and Relationship of Command
Acrobatic Tenement released March 25th
Relationship of Command released April 22nd
Relationship of Command available on vinyl April 20th for Record Store Day
One Armed Scissor music video
Transgressive Records are thrilled to announce the first re-release campaign in the label’s nine-year history, with two classic albums from one of the world’s most influential bands, At The Drive-In. This is the very first time that Acrobatic Tenement, original released in 1996, will be available on vinyl. The vinyl format of their 2000 album Relationship of Command is currently one of those extreme rarities, making this a highly sought after release. The initial run of coloured vinyl copies of Relationship of Command will be available for Record Store Day on April 20th, while stocks last. Both titles will also be released on CD and on digital formats.
Of these reissues, guitarist and founding member Jim Ward said: “It was interesting to revisit the recordings that bookended the first chapters of our band. The earnest and pure excitement of the beginning and the level of craftsmanship we achieved by Relationship of Command leaves me nothing but proud. I am happy these records have found their way to continue to feel new as people discover music they love and embrace our work.”
At The Drive-In set the template for ferocious underground statements. Through their incendiary Later With… Jools Holland performance (Robbie Williams has never been the same since realising he’d have to compete with their explosive display) and over-packed tent performance at Reading and Leeds, At The Drive-In definitively proved that “a single spark can start a spectral fire”. The band’s live prowess was recently affirmed by last year’s much talked about reunion shows – their first in over a decade.
Combining a lyrical complexity and sensitivity with the most visceral yet melodic music and drilling in the same vein as The Stooges (Iggy Pop even appears on Relationship of Command), At The Drive-In remind all of the power of revolution. Continuing in the tradition of the great American underground fuelled by the likes of Fugazi and Rites of Spring, this collection of musicians inspire the kind of devotion usually reserved for the Smiths.

Sandon School are delighted to announce that they have been awarded the Artsmark Gold Award.
The Artsmark Award strives to inspire young people through Arts and Cultural experiences.
Their feedback from Artsmark said:
“You are evidently committed to the Arts at Sandon School.
Staff have worked hard to both embed and extend your arts provision which is enriching ‘Valuable, Inspiring, and Personalised’ learning for your pupils and helping them to develop skills that will support their transition into the wider world.
Your sensory curriculum is carefully tailored to meet the profound and multiple learning needs of your children through arts-based therapies, such as ‘Didgeridoo’ and ‘Jo Jingles’ music sessions. These are enabling children to develop their fine and gross motor skills, whilst building their self-esteem.
As a result of your Artsmark journey, you have strengthened your music curriculum through investment in the ‘Charanga’ music scheme of work, which has boosted teachers’ subject knowledge so that they now feel confident to deliver discrete, weekly class music lessons. Staff have also developed their skills by working alongside professionals in the ‘Together through Music’ project.
This venture has given pupils new opportunities to participate in live musical performances and, through their musical experiences, they have been able to improve their social and communication skills, resulting in improved behaviour across the school.
The ‘EVOLVE’ project, in partnership with your Music Hub and a local school, culminated in an inclusive, live performance at your local Arts Centre, fostering a sense of pride and achievement for all the students and strengthening partnerships with parents and community. Assessments using the Leuven Scales reveal that pupil engagement in the Arts has increased exponentially – well done!
Staff have developed a three-year music and art curriculum cycle which is enabling pupils to progress their skills, knowledge and understanding, and is supporting teachers’ planning. Participation in the ‘Unify’ dance project gave your students aspirations towards careers in the Arts, as they helped to choregraph and lead performances, and supported peers to learn dance steps.
Senior leaders are evidently committed to staff professional development by facilitating visits to other setting; coaching; co-teaching; and CPD sessions. Going forwards, further detail about the longer-term effects of the training you mention would give us better comprehension of its intent and impact on pedagogies across the school.
Despite the barriers that Covid-19 have presented to your Artsmark journey (such as the completion of your amphitheatre project and implementation of Arts Award) this does give you a clear direction for your arts work going forward, and we look forward to learning the effect of Arts Award on children’s ownership of their personal progression within the Arts. You are well placed within your MAT to start to strategically plan ways to grow your sphere of influence and evidence the impact of sharing your good practice through your buddying system.”
Amy Arms-Rawden, Lead Teacher for Artsmark said: “We have been working towards this award for 2 years and are extremely proud of our creative achievements. We would like to thank everyone who has supported our journey.” | <urn:uuid:3f65ff08-9369-4c08-80f5-ed2c61575f43> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://citacademies.co.uk/artsmark-award-for-sandon-school/ | 2024-04-24T02:19:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.969669 | 660 |
delivered the opinion of the court:
Plaintiff, Leonard Kaplan, filed a complaint in the superior court of Cook County prajdng, on the grounds of duress and lack of consideration, for either the recission or reformation of a property settlement agreement he had entered into with his wife, Elaine Kaplan, prior to their divorce, and of a trust agreement, designed to secure his covenants in the property settlement agreement, whereby he had transferred certain real property, stocks and insurance policies to the LaSalle National Bank, as trustee. Upon separate motions by defendants, the wife and the bank, the complaint was stricken and dismissed by an order which found that its allegations were “not sufficient *183in law to maintain the action.” A freehold being involved, plaintiff has appealed directly to this court for review.
Facts gathered from the complaint and exhibits thereto show that Elaine Kaplan sued the plaintiff for separate maintenance on November 23, 1955, and that such action was resisted by plaintiff. On October 29, 1956, the parties entered into a property settlement agreement and, on the same day, the complaint for separate maintenance was amended to one for divorce on the grounds of desertion. Subsequently, on November 15, 1956, Elaine Kaplan was granted an uncontested decree for divorce which awarded her the custody of two minor children and recited that the parties had entered into a written agreement settling and adjusting property rights, alimony and child support. By the terms of the property settlement agreement, plaintiff, for a recited consideration of $10, and in further consideration of “mutual covenants” and “other good and valuable consideration,” “freely and voluntarily” agreed to pay Elaine Kaplan an annual sum of $5,200 as permanent alimony, subject to conditions relating to death, remarriage and increase of income, to pay his wife $100 a week for the support of their two minor children, as well as certain educational and medical expenses, and to execute a trust agreement, which was incorporated in the settlement agreement by reference, whereby plaintiff would transfer to a trustee certain described property, including real estate, for the purpose of securing his covenants. The trust agreement, which gave the trustee broad powers to sell, lease or invest the trust property, was executed by the parties the same day.
Going to the allegations which more directly concern the issues here, the complaint, which was filed approximately three years after the agreements were entered into, alleged that plaintiff had received no consideration for entering into the agreements, and that they had been entered into by him as the result of duress applied upon him by Elaine *184Kaplan. Specifically, it was alleged that during the pendency of the separate maintenance action private detectives employed by Elaine Kaplan or her attorneys forcibly broke into an apartment and took photographs of plaintiff and another woman, and that although there had never been immoral or improper behavior between plaintiff and the woman, the circumstances of the occurrence and the photographs were intended to cause great embarrassment to plaintiff and the other woman. Continuing, it was alleged that Elaine Kaplan thereafter expressly threatened to publicize the photographs by suing the other woman for alienation of affections, “by publicizing the said occurrence and photographs, and by other means calculated to cause great embarrassment to Leonard Kaplan, to the said woman in whose apartment he had been photographed, and to the family of said woman, all without cause.” Immediately following, it was alleged that “in order to avoid the said embarrassment to himself and to the said woman, 'and under duress as aforesaid,” plaintiff agreed to sign the two agreements previously described. How closely the execution of the agreements followed the alleged photographing and alleged threats of publication in point of time does not appear.
Defendants filed motions to dismiss, each alleging a defense of laches among other things, and to this defense plaintiff pleaded that he and the woman with whom he was photographed are now both married to spouses not parties to the law suit, and that the marriage of each has placed the plaintiff in a better position to now resist threats of exposure of his friendship with such woman, in that “neither her moral character, nor the moral character and private reputation of her and this plaintiff can now be harmed as severely if the photographs described in the complaint were now published in accordance with threats.”
Plaintiff contends here that the allegations of his complaint are sufficient to entitle him to equitable relief on the *185grounds of duress and, while the order of dismissal made no express finding in such regard, further claims that the allegation that he received no consideration for signing the agreements stated grounds for relief upon which he should have been accorded a hearing on the merits.. The latter claim may be quickly disposed of, for plaintiff’s pleadings, on their face, show its inefficacy. By the express terms of the property settlement agreement, into which the trust agreement was incorporated, plaintiff and Elaine Kaplan released and quit-claimed to each other all rights of dower, inheritance, descent, distribution and community interest in the estate of the other, real or personal, and whether now owned or subsequently acquired. Without considering other elements of consideration flowing to the plaintiff which could be mentioned, such mutual covenants were in themselves sufficient to support the agreement. Kroell v. Kroell, 219 Ill. 105, 112; Seuss v. Schukat, 358 Ill. 27, 34.
Turning to the matter of duress, plaintiff’s citation of James v. James, 14 Ill.2d 295, and Guyton v. Guyton, 17 Ill.2d 439, as authority for an argument that the allegations of his complaint required the court below to grant him a hearing on the merits, not only assumes that the property settlement here was an unfair one, but also misconceives the nature of the issue presented upon appeal. While we did indeed hold in the cited cases that equity will grant relief where such property settlements are attended by coercion, fraud or misrepresentation, the issue to be determined here is whether the alleged duress of which the plaintiff complains is such as would render the contract voidable at law and entitle him to equitable relief.
Duress has been defined as a condition where one is induced by a wrongful act or threat of another to make a contract under circumstances which deprive him of the exercise of his free will, and it may be conceded that a contract executed under duress is voidable. (Shlensky v. Shlensky, 369 Ill. 179; 12 I.L.P., Contracts, sec. 126; Restatement *186of Contracts, § 492.) Acts or threats cannot constitute duress unless they are wrongful; however, the rule is not limited to acts that are criminal, tortious or in violation of a contractual duty, but extends to acts that are wrongful in a moral sense. (Restatement of Contracts, § 492, Comment g.) At common law duress meant only duress of the person, that is a threat to life, limb or liberty, and the threat must have been of a nature as to create such fear as would impel a person of ordinary courage to yield to it. (Illinois Merchants Trust Co. v. Harvey, 335 Ill. 284; 17A Am. Jur., Duress and Undue Influence, sec. 10.) Under modern views and developments, however, duress is no longer confined to situations involving threats of personal injury or imprisonment, and the standard of whether a man of ordinary courage would yield to the threat has been supplanted by a test which inquires whether the threat has left the individual bereft of the quality of mind essential to the making of a contract. (Decker v. Decker, 324 Ill. 457; Slade v. Slade, 310 Ill. App. 77; 17A Am. Jur., Duress and Undue Influence, sec. 11.) Any wrongful threat which actually puts the victim in such fear as to act against his will constitutes duress and, according to some authorities, a threat of personal or family disgrace may be of such gravity as to deprive the person threatened of the mental capacity necessary to execute a valid contract.. (Tallmadge v. Robinson, 158 Ohio St. 333, 109 N.E.2d 496; Fox v. Piercey, 119 Utah 367, 227 P.2d 763; Coleman v. Crescent Wire Cable Co. 350 Mo. 781, 168 S.W.2d 1060.) Generally, as stated in 17A Am. Jur., Duress and Undue Influence, sec. 11, p. 573, "the threat must be of such nature and made under such circumstances as to constitute a reasonable and adequate cause to control the will of the threatened person, and must have that effect, and the act sought to be avoided must be performed by the person while in that condition * * * ”
Considering the complaint in the light of these principles, *187it is our opinion that the allegations fall short of establishing grounds upon which to lay a claim of legal duress. The first allegation of the complaint is that Elaine Kaplan threatened to publicize the photographs by suing the woman in whose apartment they had been taken for alienation of affections. This allegation clearly presents no basis for a claim of duress inasmuch as it is well established that it is not duress to institute or threaten to institute civil suits, or for a person to declare that he intends to use the courts to insist upon what he believes to be his legal rights, at least where the threatened action is made in the honest belief that a good cause of action exists, and does not involve some actual or threatened abuse of process. (See: 17A Am. Jur., Duress and Undue Influence, sec. 18 and cases there collected.) In a persuasively similar situation it was held in Schumm v. Berg, 37 Cal. 2d 174, 231 P.2d 39, that the expressed intention of the mother of an illegitimate child to institute paternity proceedings against the putative father if he did not enter into a contract for the support of the child did not make the contract invalid as having been obtained by a threat of injury to the father’s reputation, even though the father was a wealthy movie star who would incidentally suffer unfavorable publicity if the paternity suit was brought. The allegations of the complaint in the present case make it appear that Elaine Kaplan would have the honest belief, if not the right, that she had a cause of action for alienation of affections. Any use of the photographs in such a proceeding, or personal embarrassment suffered by plaintiff or his woman friend as a result, would be no more than incidents of the suit.
The only other threat attributed to Elaine Kaplan by the allegations of the complaint is that she threatened to publicize the photographs and occurrence by other means calculated to cause great embarrassment to plaintiff, the other woman, and the latter’s family. Even if we assume, without deciding, that the threat of an outraged and humiliated wife *188to publicize the affair of her husband is wrongful in a moral sense, it is our opinion that this allegation is not sufficient to entitle plaintiff to the relief he seeks. While the defense of duress has developed along liberal lines, we are not prepared to say as a matter of law that a threat of personal embarrassment, particularly under the circumstances reflected in the pleadings, was such as to control the will of the plaintiff, or to render him bereft of the quality of mind' essential to the making of a contract. We have said before that duress is not shown by subjecting one to annoyance or vexation, (Stoltze v. Stoltze, 393 Ill. 433, 442; Burandt v. Burandt, 318 Ill. 218, 226,) and it is our belief that a threat of personal embarrassment does not rise above annoyance and vexation. In looking to the circumstances under which the agreements were executed, we cannot help but note the recital that the settlement agreement was executed “freely and voluntarily” by plaintiff, and that he did so with the “benefit of investigation, advice and recommendation” of legal counsel. Construing such allegations of the complaint against the pleader, it would appear that the influences of the alleged duress had been removed before the agreements were entered into.
The order of the superior court of Cook ■ County is affirmed. | <urn:uuid:b394447a-7bfb-42e1-b45d-30228a267c48> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://cite.case.law/ill-2d/25/181/ | 2024-04-24T02:41:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.974081 | 2,554 |
Kansas City schools vary in their offerings, but they all do their best to provide a quality education to their students.
Whether you have a child just starting out at the elementary level or you’re looking to transfer your middle or high school student to a more suitable school, the right option for you is available in Kansas City.
Take a look at all the great choices in the area and determine which is best for your family’s needs.
Consider Each Kansas City School District
Each neighborhood is assigned a school district. For many people, it’s easiest to stick with the district you live in because it means bussing is available.
This is necessary for many working families. For others, a signature school or career and technical school would be a better option more suited to your child’s needs. You may have to drive your child daily, but it could be worth it if you’ve found a school that offers a great program.
Some districts in Kansas City include:
- Kansas City Public Schools
- Park Hill School District
- North Kansas City School District
- Center School District
North Kansas City Schools
More than 20,000 students are part of North School District. It’s an award-winning option in the area.
The district boasts a challenging academic curriculum that has earned it national and state accreditations. The district consists of more than 20 elementary schools, four middle schools, two sixth-grade-only facilities, and four high schools.
It is one of the most diverse districts in all of Missouri.
Choosing Kansas City Public Schools
The Kansas City Public School District is operated with funding from the state and local level. Many children within the city attend public school as it provides a free education to all students in grades Pre-K through 12th.
There are also early education options available for 3- and 4-year-old children.
Kansas City Elementary Schools
Elementary is the starting level for children unless you choose to place them in an early education school. There are two early education options for KSPS:
Students in kindergarten through 5th grade will attend a typical elementary school.
Most hold hours between 8:20 a.m. and 3:20 p.m., but you will need to check with your specific school regarding the start and end times for the day as these can sometimes vary. Breakfast and lunch are both available to purchase, and you can submit an application to enroll your student in the free or reduced lunch program.
Some elementary schools in the area include:
- Gordon Parks Elementary School
- Morse Elementary School
- T.A. Edison Elementary School
- Trailwoods Elementary
- Garfield Elementary
- Faxon Elementary
- Longfellow Elementary
- Pitcher Elementary
Kansas City Middle Schools
The middle school level is intended for children in grades 6 through 8. Here, your child will get to gain some independence and start exploring his or her interests.
Some sports teams are available at the middle school level, as are clubs and the choice of band, choir, or orchestra.
The two main middle school options are:
Kansas City High Schools
High school is intended for students in grades 9 through 12. You will have core classes to focus on, yet students also get to choose some electives.
More sports teams are available, as well as a wider variety of clubs and groups. You’ll still get to select if you want to be in band, choir, or orchestra or as well. The high school options are:
Attending Charter Schools in Kansas City
Public schools are not the only option.
Your student can also attend a charter school in the area. Charter schools are still considered public and receive funding, but they are individually operated. There are smaller class sizes, a more advanced curriculum, and more opportunities for college preparation. Your child may have to wear a uniform at a charter school.
There is also an application process and a lottery held to determine which students will receive spots. Some in the area include:
Attending Private Schools in Kansas City
Private schools do not receive funding from the state. They can operate thanks to tuition fees and private donations.
You will pay a yearly fee for your child to attend. Uniforms are typically required. A private school setting places an emphasis on college preparation. There is less time for distraction and a higher standard to which all students are held.
There are still the common core classes along with the option for extracurriculars, but the student-to-teacher ratio is much smaller than that of a public school setting.
Private Middle Schools in KC
The middle school level for sixth through eighth grade students focuses on responsible freedom, social responsibility, creative expression, and co-learning.
One private middle school option in the area is Kansas City Academy. World history, religions, young adult literature, pre-algebra, P.E., visual art, and theater are just some of the class offerings.
Private High Schools in KC
High schools for ninth- through 12th-graders will offer even more independence and a wider variety of curriculum. Kansas City Academy also offers a high school experience.
College preparation is a major goal. The school also strives to teach students how to become independent thinkers, wise communicators, responsible participants of the world, and instill a passion for social justice.
Seek Religion-Based Learning at Kansas City Christian Schools
Perhaps you’re looking for a Christian-based curriculum.
Your student can receive a typical education involving the teachings of math, social studies, and science, while also getting to delve deep into religious passages and meanings. These schools are also tuition-based and require an application.
Blue Ridge Christian School is one in the area that allows students of all grade levels.
Seek a Catholic Curriculum at Kansas City Catholic Schools
A Catholic education is necessary for some. If this includes your family, there are plenty of possibilities in the area.
There are Catholic elementary schools, middle schools, and Catholic high schools in KC. Most schools ask that you provide a birth certificate and immunization record during the application process, but St. Gabriel Catholic School prefers if you provide a baptismal record as well, verifying your child has been baptized in the faith and will be dedicated to the teachings.
At St. Thomas More School, your student will be required to attend a weekly Mass. Service projects and mission trips are required as well at different parts of the year.
Finding Boarding Schools in Kansas City
You may opt for a boarding school for your child. This option allows the student to live on campus and attend classes daily.
Your child will sleep and study in their room and have very strict policies for keeping company and following curfew. Students quickly learn to be independent in this type of school setting. Some options are specifically intended for troubled teens, with an emphasis on counseling and therapeutic activities on top of a structured education program.
Kansas City Girls Academy is a female-only option, intended for girls ages 12-17. House of Hope is intended for girls 13-17. You don’t have to stick with your own city, either. You can search for boarding schools within the state and still have your student close by.
Day School in Kansas City
A day school emphasizes an individualized curriculum, strong accreditations, and teaching children strong moral values.
One such option is found at Oakhill Day School. They offer various programs starting with early childhood care for children 18 months to 3 years old. Foreign language instruction is started even at this age, and the iPad is introduced because of the necessity of technology in today’s age.
Lower school is intended for kindergarten through third grade and the intermediate division is for fourth- and fifth-graders.
The final option is for middle school students in grades 6 through 8. There is an option for your child to attend Kids’ Club, which adds extra time to their day for a special club or activity.
Utilizing Summer Schools in Kansas City
You can often speak with your child’s school about the need for summer school learning. Many will offer an in-house option a few weeks after the normal calendar season finishes. Kansas City also offers a Freedom Schools Program.
This program serves children of all ages, either with summer school options or after-school literacy. The Children’s Defense Fund developed this program to help underprivileged youth in the area. The goal is to improve reading comprehension skills and boost a student’s motivation to learn.
Another option is the Kansas City Ballet School Summer Intensive. Ballet dancers looking to improve their skills and get exposed to other dance disciplines should attend. There are boarding and tuition costs for the program.
Your child’s school will affect much more than just their education. Find a school that will instill the values and lessons you desire that will have an impact on your son or daughter’s future.
Plenty of Kansas City schools exist, each of which will provide an excellent education to your student. Find the best one for your family’s needs. | <urn:uuid:395ee5eb-d8c8-4903-ad99-d329d1e8787e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://citylifestyle.com/articles/f63fed5e-f4e5-456a-b3cf-53a288731bc3 | 2024-04-24T03:55:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.965197 | 1,877 |

One such state where local SEO is critical is Utah which has cities such as Salt Lake City, West Valley City, Provo and West Jordan. Local SEO in Utah is more important than ever for Civil Rights Attorneys as a significant percentage of people search for legal assistance in their local area. Google recognizes this trend and displays local search results for relevant searches from nearby areas. Thus, optimizing a Civil Rights Attorney's website with local SEO strategies can help them rank higher on local search results, and attract potential clients in their area.
There are several services offered by Civil Rights Attorneys that can be used as keywords to market their law firm. For instance, keywords like "Police Brutality Lawyer," "Civil Rights Lawyer," "Racial Profiling Lawyer," and "Discrimination Lawyer" can attract potential clients for specific services. Implementing these keywords on their website, in the title tags, meta descriptions, headers, and content can significantly improve the attorney's website's visibility in search engine results.

Danny DeVito Has Perfect Response To Girl Who Took Cardboard Cutout Of Him To Prom
A few weeks ago, 17-year-old Allison Closs decided to take a cardboard cutout of Danny DeVito to prom instead of a real human. The actor had the perfect response.
“I considered other celebrities, like Bill Nye the Science Guy,” she told the New York Post. “But many of them would [have required] ordering a custom-made cutout, and I’m not about that money life, if you know what I’m saying.”
She said that she's an aspiring filmmaker, and an acknowledgement from the star would be huge. Well, news got back to DeVito, who more than just acknowledged her appreciation.
Via DeVito's co-star in It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Rob "Mac" McElhenney, Closs got quite the response.

Yellowed and Scratched | Fresh, clear look restores phone’s original beauty. |
Cracks and Stretched Edges | Improved fit and better shock absorption. |
Deep Stains | A stain-free case keeps your device looking brand-new. |

Good 4 Olivia Rodrigo! The 19-year-old singer brought her fashion A-game to her second Met Gala. Olivia continued to show why purple is her signature color in her shimmering lavender gown on the Met Gala red carpet.
Olivia paired her sparkling gown with a pair of light purple gloves and matching heels. Her hair was styled in loose but voluminous waves and featured butterfly clips. She matched her purple gown with a purple-hued smokey eye.
The 2022 Met Gala marks Olivia’s first Met Gala in less than a year. Olivia made her Met Gala debut at the 2021 Met Gala, which was held last September after being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Olivia rocked a sheer lace catsuit with a feathered trim on fashion’s biggest night in 2021.
Olivia took a brief break from her Sour tour to attend the Met Gala. The singer has been in New York City performing and promoting her wildly successful album Sour. She will be right back on tour the day after the Met Gala in Boston. Her tour will take her all throughout the United States and Europe. The Sour tour will last throughout the summer.
Even though Olivia wasn’t born until 2003, her style is definitely influenced by ’90s fashion. Her stylist, Laura Sophie Cox, told Popsugar that Olivia has a “huge passion for sustainability. It’s really exciting and refreshing to see. We share the same love of Depop, thrift stores, vintage, and she has a great sense of style.”
Olivia, who recently won 3 Grammys, is now one of the biggest pop stars in the world. However, she’s not forgetting her roots. Olivia will reprise the fan-favorite role of Nini in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series season 3. Due to her busy schedule, Olivia will reportedly have a recurring role as opposed to being a series regular.
Season 3 of the popular Disney+ series will be set in the summer and take place at Camp Shallow Lake. The East High kids will be working on a production of Frozen. Season 3 does not have a premiere date but is expected to debut by the end of 2022.

We applaud you for jumping on the farm-fresh wagon and signing up for a Community Supported Agriculture bag this summer. If you’re a novice home cook, however, it’s possible you’re stressing about all those heads of bok choy starting to rot and that sorghum syrup that you are still scratching your head on how to use. We understand it’s easy to get tangled up in a CSA rough patch. So we recruited some farm-to-table chefs and CSA managers to help dig you out. Here are five ways to survive this season’s CSA.
1. Roll up your sleeves now. It’s easy to come home and toss your groceries aside, but Trevor Clatterbuck, founder of Fresh Fork Market, encourages you to get your hands dirty right away by chopping up large bunches of kale or cutting up heads of cauliflower. “Coordinate your pickup time so you can go home and pay attention to your groceries,” he says. “If you take time to do the prep work, you can then fire up a meal real fast.”
2. Plan meals ahead of time. Although you never know the exact concoction your farmer has planned for your bag, you can do some research on what’s in season. “Most CSAs send out a newsletter,” says Laura Dobson, Geauga Family Farms representative. “There’s a lot of information that will help you process your share like recipes and storage techniques.”
3. Get creative when you have a lot of one item. The farmers give you what they have, so when you open up your package to find another head of cabbage, don’t panic. “My first thought when that happens is, Hey, let’s make sauerkraut,” says Brian Doyle, chef and owner of Sow Foods. “That’s something I can put up and keep for many months.”
4. Master bulk prep. It takes a hefty chunk of time, but there is an upside to making meals in bulk: leftovers. “You can preserve things like beans and use it that week or all winter long,” says Karen Small, chef and owner of the Flying Fig. Familiarize yourself with how to blanch or steam and roast produce for quick meals. “Once you’ve exhausted your options, freeze it.”
5. Pickle it. That produce is surely going to spoil faster than you can eat it, so learn how to pickle. Bring vinegar, salt, sugar and herbs to boil, pour onto your produce, then let it cool to before sticking it in the fridge. “Be mindful of the water content,” says Heather Haviland, chef and owner of Lucky’s Cafe. “The cell structure of every vegetable is different.” | <urn:uuid:bdb39e86-d5a4-40a0-9967-dfeee1def758> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://clevelandmagazine.com/food-drink/home-cooking/articles/csa-survival-tips | 2024-04-24T02:52:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.933199 | 609 |
It's true this morning I do feel just like he feels. Don't get me wrong I am happy inside, but very slightly hung over. Still enough about me. This is
an EM4 figure I impulse bought on eBay. It pretty much painted itself, it came ready undercoated and the colours were the obvious choices. Grubby white vest, dark blue jeans and dark brown/stained boots. He carries a knuckle duster in his right hand and a wrench in his back pocket. That is probably not the right choice for fighting zombies but for brawling against other humans might be enough, unless they have guns of course. This figure was a joy to paint, it has a very cartoon look to it when seen in the metal which I like. I shall look out for a few more like him as I do have an idea for a game or two using him. But more of that another time perhaps.
I did meet up with a couple of my old role-play buddies last night. One of the questions I asked them was Zombie games, Set in England or America? I can see advantages to both. The main problem being that an English setting is ripe for comedy. "Shaun of the dead" and "Cockneys Vs Zombies" out weigh "28 Days Later" or "Day of the Triffids" (triffids are so close to zombies you can easily use the same rules.). I will have a quick chat at the club tomorrow and see what the guys would rather. They might surprise me. This talk of Zombies is because I purchased "All Things Zombie-Final Fade Out!" (ATZ-FFO) yesterday. I am still reading them and picking apart the differences in the rules from their earlier edition. However as a number of club members like Zombie games I am seriously thinking of starting a "campaign" as I know it is a setting that they will warm too. If I manage to pull it together I anticipate playing it once every 2 months or so. Which will allow us to play other games and yet also not allow it to get too stale. That is it for today thanks for reading. Have a great weekend and I shall post again on Monday.

An Elegant Themes membership also gives you access to two premium plugins – Bloom and Monarch.
What is Divi Theme?
Divi is a popular paid WordPress theme created by Elegant Themes. The Divi theme opens nearly unlimited design possibilities without the requirement for custom-made code thanks to the drag-and-drop Divi Page Builder. Preset content “modules” work sort of like building blocks. You can place a preformatted module such as a video module and after that merely customize it by experimenting with the choices.
Among the really cool features of the Divi Theme that sets it apart from totally free wordpress themes and even numerous paid ones is that you have the option to preview all of your building in real time. Divi provides you the choice to basically modify a webpage while looking at it! With most other wordpress themes, you have to save your modifications and then preview them in a separate window that’s not interactive. Divi allows you to see the effects of each change in real time.
So, for example, if an element on your web page does not quite look how you anticipated, you can make small tweaks and view the effects in real time, getting rid of much of the uncertainty normally related to improving your vision of how something needs to look.
Divi vs. Divi Builder (Divi Theme Builder).
When people speak about Divi, frequently they are discussing two different things: the Divi theme and the Divi Theme Builder. As discussed in the introduction of this post, by getting a Elegant Themes subscription you get access to more than just the Divi Theme. Among other benefits, you also open the power of the Divi Theme Builder which permits you to include a drag and drop builder to any theme you are presently running on your wordpress site!

On the other hand, if you already have a theme you like or are already using on your site however find it does not have the design elements or modification potential you require, you can add a drag and drop builder to any theme with the Divi Theme Builder.
Is Divi Easy To Use?
Although very effective and robust, Divi is still actually user-friendly and easy to use even for newbies. The first site I ever developed was with Divi. Without any previous experience, I didn’t discover any trouble building a simple website.
My next couple of sites were not so basic. I had complicated visions of how I wanted the sites to look and function. To be honest, with the limited experience I had with WordPress and Divi, I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to create what I pictured. To my pleasure, I discovered it simple to carry out all of my concepts using the Divi Page Builder even as my creativity wandered to a growing number of complex designs and functions.The Divi Theme is very easy to use for novices and skilled designers alike.
The Divi Theme comes geared up with the drag and drop Divi Page Builder we’ve been pointing out. Let’s run down its features and functions so you have an understanding of how basic yet effective it is to work with Divi.
To use the Divi Page Builder, simply pick the element you want to add to your page from a list of 46 different content modules such as video, header, etc. You can then totally personalize each element by generally completing a form of options in the settings of each content module you contribute to your page.
divi theme default font
Beginning with a blank canvas, you can create the layout of each page by including sections. For each section, you can pick the variety of rows and columns it will have. Depending on your vision, you may only use one section or find yourself including several. The variety of columns you select essentially determines the spacing and layout of the elements you add such as video, gallery etc. For instance, your very first section may only have one column and one row where you’ll add a header element. This would then make the header the full width of the website. Listed below it, you could add another section with say 3 columns permitting you to have 3 different elements evenly spaced side to side below the full width header.
Including rows simply permits you to include more elements to the section with the exact same number of columns. So if you desired another full width element like a header listed below the 3 elements you just included, you would simply develop a brand-new section with one column versus including another row. Adding another row would immediately use 3 columns suggesting adding a header module to one column would show as only one third of the horizontal space of the web page. divi theme default font
The Divi Page Builder permits you to produce the framework of your design starting with a blank canvas. If you do not wish to fully construct the layout of your website from the ground up, don’t fret – Divi likewise includes hundreds of layouts ready to utilize.
Divi’s layouts are predesigned with beautiful color styles and advanced structures that permit you to quickly get a headstart on the style procedure. The numerous available layouts are not general style templates but rather created for particular website types. You’ll find layouts for restaurants, online course, and far more. They’re all very well developed and ready to utilize by simply including your own content.
In order to add the Divi Theme or the Divi Theme Builder to your wordpress site you’ll require a membership with Elegant Themes. Like lots of subscriptions, Elegant Themes provides the choice of a lifetime subscription.
You can get Divi for $89 yearly or simply $249 for life time access. Each option includes access to the Divi Theme as well as the Extra Theme, software application updates, 2 premium plugins, hundreds of layouts, premium support and more.
Is Divi Worth it?
Divi is absolutely priced really reasonably considering all of the worth bundled in. Making use of just one stunning layout offered with Divi will quickly justify the cost. Divi is worth it and that’s why it is among the most popular themes presently in existence. divi theme builder guide

The Process of Hiring an Accident Attorney
When it comes to hiring an accident attorney, there is a lot that you have to think about. If you’ve never been through the process before, it can be difficult to figure out. Let’s take a look at what you should know about the process of hiring an accident attorney.
One of the best things that you can do is look online. Search on the internet for attorneys that are near you. You should be able to see many different options. It’s a good idea to spend some time reading through the websites of a few different attorneys. This way you have all of the important information.
Once you have a couple of attorneys that you are interested in, you need to make sure they have the right experience. There are a lot of different areas of the law. If an attorney has experience in an area other than accident law, they may not be the right option for you.
You should spend a lot of time searching for the right attorney. Communication will be vital. This means that you should never have a problem reaching your attorney with any questions. They should also always keep you updated on the case. | <urn:uuid:4d235243-290f-4f68-a0f4-a02a215e7030> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://codeandroid.org/2022/10/28/the-process-of-hiring-an-accident-attorney/ | 2024-04-24T04:02:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.973623 | 248 |
As Reuters reports, quoting an R3 spokesman, the giant left the group to “pursue a very distinct technology path” of its own in the Blockchain sector.
“It follows the previous exits from Goldman Sachs, Santander and Morgan Stanley in 2016, with R3 subsequently lowering its own expectations, aiming to raise $150 mln from members for a 60 percent stake instead of $200 mln and a 90 percent stake.”
The consortium has faced further hurdles throughout 2017 after it appeared to give a cold shoulder to Blockchain technology altogether.
In a January presentation about its flagship Corda platform, R3 said it “didn’t need” a Blockchain after all.
“JPMorgan parted ways with R3 to pursue a very distinct technology path which is at odds with the one chosen by the global financial services industry, represented by our 80-plus members,” Managing Director Charley Cooper’s comment to Reuters reads.
One competing Blockchain alliance meanwhile continues to comparatively outperform the struggling R3.
JPMorgan is an original member of the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, an increasingly high-profile group of businesses aiming to examine the implementation of Ethereum-based technology on a global scale.

According to Yuri Chikhanchin, the agency’s head, the Russian financial watchdog Rosfinmonitoring is prepared to accept the use of cryptocurrencies in cross-border transactions. The declaration strengthens the argument for legalizing international cryptocurrency payments in Russia amid financial sanctions imposed due to its invasion of Ukraine.
The Federal Financial Monitoring Service of the Russian Federation, also known as Rosfinmonitoring, fully accepts that cryptocurrencies can be employed for settlements with foreign partners, Yury Chikhanchin, director of the regulatory body has stated.
Speaking in the Federation Council, the upper house of Russian parliament, Chikhanchin emphasized that payments with digital assets inside Russia are prohibited by law. The country’s current legislation bans “money surrogates.”
However, under certain conditions, such payments may well be used in international trade, Chikhanchin said. The high-ranking official believes this can help businesses oriented towards exporting Russian products. Quoted by the Bits.media crypto news outlet, he also noted:
If the supply chain is controlled, then this is quite acceptable.
Yury Chikhanchin further emphasized that in order to take advantage of cryptocurrency payments, Russian companies need to know to whom exactly they are exchanging the digital currencies.
The regulator disclosed that his office had created and already made available a unique information system for monitoring cryptocurrency transactions. It has already been used in some investigations and enables financial authorities to identify both the sender and the recipient of funds.
The topic of cryptocurrencies’ future in Russia is still up for discussion. After the law “On Digital Financial Assets” only partially regulated the cryptocurrency market, a new bill “On Digital Currency” is anticipated to introduce more thorough regulations for crypto transactions.
As Western sanctions against Russia for its military intervention in Ukraine have become more severe, the idea of using cryptocurrencies in international transactions is gaining support. At the same time, the majority of Moscow’s government institutions concur that the ruble should continue to be the only form of legal tender in the country.
While the Bank of Russia, a strong opponent of the free circulation of cryptocurrencies, recently signaled it could back the legalization of crypto payments that don’t penetrate Russia’s financial system, the lower house of Russian parliament recently adopted a law banning domestic payments with digital financial assets. | <urn:uuid:c75ac9e3-18d8-40a2-bc73-46a05757a3d5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://coinfeeds.com/russias-financial-watchdog-declares-crypto-payments-acceptable-in-international-trade/ | 2024-04-24T03:49:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.944555 | 477 |
Originally published in the Globe & Mail November 21, 2022
As companies are adapting to new ways of working at varying speeds, there is a need for organizations, teams and individuals to optimize and prioritize along new dimensions: What work is best suited in-office versus remote? What is best accomplished synchronously versus asynchronously? How can we rethink and revitalize meetings so we aren’t stuck in meetings all day with no time to think or do?
Many employees are overstretched and overwhelmed, finding there aren’t enough hours in the day to deliver on commitments. According to Microsoft’s September 2022 Work Trends Index, 48 per cent of employees and 53 per cent of managers say they are already burned out. In the same report, it was noted that last spring, meetings had increased by 153 per cent since the start of the pandemic, “double bookings” increased by 46 per cent in the last year and, in an average week, 42 per cent of participants multitask during meetings. This goes to show that, in many cases, there is no slack in the system. Prioritization must go beyond simply reordering an overflowing to-do list.
Much can be done at an organizational level and team leader level to help prioritize and create capacity for employees, so that they can focus on what matters. Not just cutting big projects and product launches, but reconfiguring how work is done and delivered. For example, does that quarterly business review really require a 100-page polished PowerPoint deck and eight hours of meetings? Leaders and employees alike should be empowered to evaluate each task and deliverable with the following three Ds: Delay, Do Differently, Don’t Do, to challenge the status quo.
At an individual level, it may be time to simplify our lives by saying “no” to things that do not serve us. Liane Davey, author of The Good Fight, highlights 30 drains on health, happiness, and productivity you can start saying “no” to in No-vember, perfect timing before the holiday rush adds to our stress. Below are five, though you can find the rest here:
- Prioritization: “‘Priority’ comes from ‘priori’: first; not 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th,” cautions Ms. Davey. Otherwise said, when everything is a priority, nothing is. Your work priorities should clearly align with company and team goals and broader purpose. If the alignment is unclear, say so, and seek clarification. Let’s not prioritize until we determine what needs to be de-prioritized.
- Collaboration: According to Deb Mashek, author of Collabor(h)ate, ask these four questions to determine whether you should say no to a collaboration opportunity: 1) Is the opportunity aligned to your values and interests? 2) Are you able to meaningfully contribute to this project (for example, skills and capacity)? 3) Are there appropriate resources for the scope and scale of this project? 4) Are the other people on the project able to meaningfully contribute? If the answer to any of these is no, you may want to take a pass on the collaboration opportunity.
- Wasting in-office days: This doesn’t mean don’t go to the office, it means make it count when you do. In this transitory period, leaders may need to suggest what would be beneficial to do on in-office days, so we don’t have the worst of both worlds – hard to find space (as a result of fewer desks and hot-desking) with many workers in virtual meetings all day.
- Perfection: Waiting for the perfect moment means potentially missing the window of opportunity, entirely. In our new world of work, where there is so much uncertainty, we need to not let perfection get in the way of good enough. For example, when it comes to adjusting to new ways of working, be aware that we will make mistakes, learn and iterate.
- E-mail fights: Selecting appropriate channels for different types of communication is an essential part of adjusting to our new ways of working. Before sending that emotional or controversial e-mail or message, think about how it may be received: tone and nuance are difficult to decipher in written form. Instead of potentially getting into a battle, save difficult dialogue for the channels in which they are best-suited: in-person, video or phone, depending on your respective locations.
While we are on the topic of saying “no,” one final idea for leaders: establish NOKRs, not just OKRs (objectives and key results): what employees should not do to get the most critical work done. This will help them prioritize more effectively and remain aligned with the team and organization’s objectives without the burden of extra low-value work. Happy No-vember. | <urn:uuid:cd4ae811-80e6-45cc-9007-55a41392d5e2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://collaborativity.ca/how-to-say-no-in-no-vember-for-a-happier-healthier-more-productive-work-life/ | 2024-04-24T02:14:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.949496 | 1,022 |

Doctor of Philosophy, or PhD, is considered to be a terminal degree, or the highest degree you can earn. PhDs are research-based academic degrees awarded in many fields. PhDs can also help outside the academic world in today’s increasingly competitive labor market. Businesses are looking for highly qualified people who have demonstrated intelligence, perseverance and the ability to learn in a variety of fields, including engineering, information technology and many others.
As an electrical engineering PhD student, you will pursue theoretical and empirical studies in a topic area determined by your interests and those of your faculty research advisor. As a student in Boston, you will be in the midst of a vibrant high-tech research community where external collaborations with industry, government, and other universities are common. However, your experience will likely not be limited to Boston; PhD students are supported by the department to present their work at many key conferences around the world.
Completion of the PhD establishes a student’s ability to conduct independent basic or applied research, and prepares him or her for a career in academia, industry, or government. Students pursue theoretical and empirical studies in a topic area determined by their interests, faculty research areas, and departmental research facilities. External collaborations with industry and government laboratories are encouraged.
Doctoral program candidates should contact faculty members in the department to discuss their research plans (for contact information, email [email protected] or visit the Electrical & Computer Engineering website).
Students admitted to the PhD program must first complete the department’s MS degree requirements.
In addition to fulfilling the MS degree program requirements, all PhD students must enroll for an additional 32 units (8 courses) at the graduate level (500 level or above). Post-master’s PhD students are required to complete 32 graduate units (eight courses) beyond their MS work. In addition to an oral prospectus defense and final dissertation defense, students must satisfy a Technical Preparation Criterion (TPC) and a Research Preparation Criterion (RPC), which together constitute the PhD Qualifying Process of the ECE Department.
The TPC requires a student to demonstrate excellent performance in certain graduate courses (four for post-bachelor’s, two for post-master’s), mostly related to the student’s area of specialization. Post-bachelor’s PhD students are required to satisfy the TPC by the end of their third semester in the PhD program. Post-master’s PhD students are required to satisfy the TPC by the end of their second semester in the PhD program. Students who are not able to satisfy the TPC within their allocated time are not allowed to remain in the PhD program. At least one of the courses used to satisfy TPC must require a significant component involving the formulation, analysis, and solution of mathematical models. This course also satisfies the College of Engineering’s math requirement.
The RPC requires a student to pass an oral examination related to a research article (chosen by the student and approved by the ECE Graduate Committee) and its background material. All PhD students are required to satisfy the RPC by the end of the summer that immediately follows the completion of two regular semesters (Fall/Spring) in the PhD program. If a student fails the oral examination on the first attempt, he/she is given a make-up oral examination several weeks later. Unless a student passes the oral examination on either the first or the second attempt, the student will not be allowed to stay in the PhD program. | <urn:uuid:780baaee-f073-40da-afc9-2e857a036a00> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://collegelearners.com/phd-in-electrical-engineering-2/ | 2024-04-24T02:39:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.934209 | 820 |
This ordinance amends Title 11, Chapter 1150 Floodplain Management, Section 1150.23 Standards and requirements for activities, development and uses in the floodway fringe of the Columbus City Codes.
The proposed Code change will require new public streets within the 100-year floodplain to be at the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) or higher.
Currently, Columbus City Code requires new public streets to be at Flood Protection Elevation (FPE), which is defined as one and a half feet above the BFE. Base Flood Elevation (BFE) is defined as the projected water surface level, measured from mean sea level, at any given point in a base flood. To paraphrase in simpler terms, BFE is the 100-year floodplain elevation.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) standards for Communities to participate in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) have no requirements for the elevations of streets in the 100-year Floodplain. The current new public street elevation requirement in City Code is a local community “higher standard”, not mandated by federal FEMA NFIP standards.
Notably, the requirement does not apply to existing public streets within the floodplain, allowing new public streets in the developed areas to meet the elevation already established.
The current requirement may result in significant technical and financial hardship for developments within Columbus without a justifiable public benefit.
Most local communities in Central Ohio either have no new street elevation within the floodplain requirements, or require them to be at the BFE level.
A reduction in technical and financial hardship for developments within Columbus.
To amend Title 11, Chapter 1150 Floodplain Management, of the Columbus City Codes to require new public streets within the 100-year floodplain to be at the Base Flood Elevation or higher.
WHEREAS, it is necessary to amend Title 11, Chapter 1150 Floodplain Management, of the Columbu...

MAC Snags Penthouse Floors at One Soho Square
The Estée Lauder Companies subsidiary will set up shop on the 10th floor and in flashy glass penthouses on the 11th through 13th floors, according to The New York Post.
Asking rent was $125 per square foot. The length of the lease wasn’t immediately available.
CBRE’s Stephen Siegel, Greg Tosko, Lewis Miller and Sacha Zarba represented MAC. Newmark Grubb Knight Frank’s Brian Waterman, Andrew Peretz, David Malawer and Brent Ozarowski repped Stellar Management.
Stellar, led by Larry Gluck, purchased two industrial buildings at 233 Spring Street and 161 Avenue of the Americas for $200 million in 2012, according to property records. The two properties have been combined into a single building, now called One Soho Square, and the structure is being outfitted with a 19-story glass core, a half-acre rooftop garden and three new penthouse floors on top of the Soho building.
Representatives for Stellar declined to comment, and neither brokerage immediately responded to requests for comment.
A few other tenants have already leased space in the upscale commercial development. Trader Joe’s plans to open a 19,000-square-foot store on the ground floor of One Soho Square’s eastern building, 233 Spring Street, later this year, Commercial Observer reported yesterday. Managed by Q also leased office space there a year ago. | <urn:uuid:7b39d1e5-74e7-46cf-9324-4555a93a3a49> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://commercialobserver.com/2017/04/mac-snags-penthouse-floors-at-one-soho-square/ | 2024-04-24T04:00:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.937958 | 311 |

Hello, i know in this tutorial Rick use visual studio code. But if you really enjoying programming or making games and you dont have problem pay for IDE. I really recommend for everybody try JetBrains Rider ide. Which is really good for mac users (because Microsoft stop supporting his Visual studio IDE) and for developers. Because Rider helps you dont make mistake, helps you with orientation. And you dont need to wait for a such a time for refreshing. Because when you something save in ide. Automaticly Unity start complilation code. I starting programming for living so i need this ide for job, but i try it in unity and im really exiting about it! I just want to share with you my experience. I used VSCode some time and its okay but not great.
Thank you for the recommendation. This will be useful for other students. | <urn:uuid:894a380e-e5c2-4c46-8d77-4f13434f6020> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://community.gamedev.tv/t/i-really-recommend-this-ide/244379 | 2024-04-24T03:15:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.909469 | 172 |

I'm a social worker and I speak to families everyday with children with multiple diagnosis and difficulty managing meds (the anti psychotics really suck and so often cause the appetite/weight issues). I hope he grows out of most of the symptoms. Have you been linked with any support for yourself or has your son been linked with a behavioral psychologist? I've heard good things about them, they work with the child but can also give strategies to the parents Sorry for being nosy and feel free to tell me to mind my own business! but like I said it's my job, I'm a family support intake worker and totally nerd out over things like this.

the wheel on my trailer snapped off the axel. I was making a routine turn I make everyday. I saw the wheel shoot out from the rear view mirror then the trailer flip. Instead of braking, I floored the gas pedal. This allowed the trailer to fully flip back upright. The bolt that is under the locking lever (tightens up around the hitch ball) had loosened up, allowing the trailer to jerk free and roll. I didn’t realize this could happen. I do check everything in the truck and trailer daily but never even looked under this lever to check that!
My pw needs work but tallest thing back there was the tucker fill n go and that beast only had a bent reel! It fired back up as soon as I got a new battery (my two came out of the trailer during the roll).
The trailer is now in the dump. The trailer repair shop i took it to discovered the axel and springs had been welded incorrectly and said the way they rigged it that is be chair to buy another. I’m at least the third owner of the trailer, so no one to blame but myself for not knowing better. | <urn:uuid:78f93831-33d8-4d71-a88b-f5e9981790ec> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://community.windowcleaner.com/t/flipped-trailer-over-how-strong-is-the-tucker-fill-n-go/54143 | 2024-04-24T04:02:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.975968 | 239 |
>9:50 – Amigo gets teeth cleaned, staff there remind me to call orthodontist.
10:40 – La Petite gets teeth cleaned
Some time in here I have to make sure Amigo gets lunch. My appointment at the DDS is tomorrow.
11:45 – Grandma picks up Amigo for weekly noon organ recital
Amigo will go home with Grandma so that La Petite and Mom can go to their early afternoon appointments.
Now make sure La Petite gets lunch – a rare chance to spend time with her alone.
1:20 – I get my eyes checked, prescriptions renewed, order new contacts, find out I have “some cataract growth” starting in one eye, but it’s “nothing to worry about yet.” Can a cataract be insignificant?
1:40 – La Petite gets eyes checked, prescriptions renewed, and orders new contacts and glasses.
Go pick up Amigo. Come home.
Oh, that’s right. I still need to think up and create supper. And Husband is working an outrageously long day that started at 3 AM, so we have no idea when he’ll be home. We only know he’ll be exhausted.
July is the only month we can schedule days like this. I’m home from school, La Petite’s work hours are winding down, we’re back from vacation, and Amigo hasn’t left for camp yet. We have enough freedom and flexibility that when the crazy day is over, we can separate before we drive each other crazy. | <urn:uuid:411f75a1-7a8b-43f5-9fcf-9b8a9faedc63> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://compostermom.okaybyme.net/moms-taxi/ | 2024-04-24T02:39:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.929877 | 344 |

Shiitake mushrooms (shih-TOK-ee), scientifically known as Lentinula edodes, are a type of edible fungi. They are popular worldwide for their distinct umami flavor, which is a term used to describe a savory taste. They’re famous for their unique umami flavor, which is a fancy word for savory.
Getting to Know Shiitake Mushrooms
Shiitake mushrooms are like little treasures in the world of food. They have a brown cap that looks like an umbrella and a strong stem. But they’re not just pretty to look at. They’re also packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. This means they’re good for your body!
The Taste of Shiitake Mushrooms
Have you ever tasted something that’s a perfect mix of meaty, woody, and a little bit nutty? That’s what shiitake mushrooms taste like! When you cook them, they become chewy and add a special umami taste to your dishes.
What Makes Shiitake Mushrooms Special?
There are many reasons why shiitake mushrooms are special:
- Umami Flavor: Shiitake mushrooms have a strong umami flavor that makes your meals extra tasty.
- Unique Look and Feel: Shiitake mushrooms have a brown cap and a firm texture when cooked.
- Versatile in the Kitchen: You can cook shiitake mushrooms in many ways, like sautéing, stir-frying, grilling, roasting, or adding them to soups.
- Healthy: Shiitake mushrooms are full of B vitamins, fiber, and minerals. They also have something called beta-glucans, which help keep your body healthy.
- Popular Worldwide: People from all over the world love shiitake mushrooms. They add a rich and complex taste to any dish.
In a world full of different foods, shiitake mushrooms have their own special place. They make our taste buds happy and add a fancy touch to our meals.
Shiitake Mushrooms vs Portobello Mushrooms
Shiitake and portobello mushrooms are both types of fungi, but they have different flavors. Shiitake mushrooms have a deep, earthy taste that adds depth to dishes. On the other hand, portobello mushrooms are often used as a meat substitute because of their large size and meaty texture.
What Makes Shiitake Mushrooms Different?
Shiitake mushrooms stand apart from other mushrooms with a blend of distinct characteristics:
- Flavorful Umami: Shiitake mushrooms are renowned for their intense umami flavor. Umami is that hard-to-describe, savory taste that tantalizes your taste buds and adds depth to dishes. Shiitakes bring a robust umami punch that sets them apart from other mushrooms, giving your meals an extra layer of deliciousness.
- Texture and Appearance: Picture a shiitake mushroom – a velvety brown cap, gently curved and textured, perched atop a sturdy stem. This unique appearance, combined with their firm yet tender texture when cooked, sets shiitakes apart from other mushroom varieties. It’s like nature’s artistry in a bite.
- Culinary Versatility: Shiitake mushrooms are incredibly versatile in the kitchen. You can sauté, stir-fry, grill, roast, or incorporate them into soups and sauces. Their flavor and texture play well with various ingredients, making them a go-to choice for traditional and modern recipes.
- Nutritional Profile: Beyond their culinary appeal, shiitake mushrooms offer various nutritional benefits. They’re a good source of B vitamins, fiber, and minerals. Furthermore, they encompass compounds such as beta-glucans, which are thought to contribute to immune health.
- Global Popularity: While shiitakes have deep roots in Asian cuisine, their popularity has transcended continents. They’ve become a staple ingredient in many kitchens worldwide, celebrated for their ability to enhance dishes with their rich and complex taste.
Tips on Picking Out Shiitake Mushrooms
When choosing shiitake mushrooms, aim for those with plump, firm caps and dry, slightly cracked stems. Stay away from wrinkled, very bruised, or slimy mushrooms, as they’ve seen better days. Look for creamy white to tan varieties, which tend to be more tender and flavorful. Opt for medium-sized shiitakes, as they strike a balance between flavor and texture.
Can You Eat the Whole Shiitake Mushroom?
Shiitake mushrooms are yummy and safe to eat, but not all parts of the mushroom are usually eaten. The tastiest and softest parts are the cap and the top part of the stem. The bottom part of the stem can be hard and stringy, which is not so nice to eat.
So, if you want to enjoy the yummy taste and feel of shiitake mushrooms, it’s normal to cut off and throw away the bottom part of the stem before you cook them. This way, you’re only eating the best parts of the mushroom and not the tough part.
Tips on Cleaning Shiitake Mushrooms
Cleaning shiitake mushrooms is crucial to ensure you enjoy their rich flavors without any unwanted grit and soil. Here are some tips to help you clean shiitake mushrooms like a pro:
- Gentle Rinse: Give the mushrooms a gentle rinse under cool running water. Use your fingers to rub the caps lightly and stems to remove dirt or debris. Avoid soaking the mushrooms, as they can absorb excess water and become soggy.
- Paper Towel Pat-Down: After rinsing, place the mushrooms on a paper towel and gently pat them dry. It helps remove any remaining moisture and ensures it cooks nicely without excess water.
- Trim the Stems: As mentioned earlier, trim the lower, tougher part of the stems before cooking. This part of the stem can be woody and fibrous, so it’s best to remove it to enhance the overall texture of your dish.
- Brushing Technique: If your shiitake mushrooms are relatively clean and don’t require rinsing, you can use a soft brush (like a mushroom brush or a clean pastry brush) to remove any dirt gently. This method is beneficial if you want to minimize moisture contact.
- Use a Damp Cloth: Another option is to lightly dampen a clean cloth or paper towel and gently wipe the mushrooms to remove dirt. This method can be effective while also avoiding excessive moisture.
- Inspect Thoroughly: Before cooking, look closely at each mushroom to ensure they’re clean and free from any remaining debris. Pay special attention to the gills and crevices.
- Store Properly: If you need to start using the mushrooms, store them in a breathable container (like a paper bag) in the refrigerator. Avoid sealing them in plastic, as it can promote moisture buildup and potentially spoilage.
Remember, the goal is to clean your shiitake mushrooms without overdoing it – you want to preserve their flavor and texture.
How Long Do Shiitake Mushrooms Last?
Like most fresh produce, Shiitake mushrooms have a limited shelf life, but proper storage can help extend their freshness. Here’s a general guideline for how long shiitake mushrooms last:
- Fresh Shiitake Mushrooms: Fresh shiitake mushrooms typically last about 7 to 10 days when stored in the refrigerator. Keep them in a breathable container (such as a paper bag) to maximize their shelf life to prevent moisture buildup. Avoid sealing them in plastic, as it can trap moisture and lead to quicker spoilage.
- Dried Shiitake Mushrooms: Dried shiitake mushrooms have a significantly longer shelf life. When stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, they can last several months to a year or more.
Always use your judgment and perform a visual and smell check before using mushrooms stored for a while. If they develop an off odor, sliminess, or discoloration, discard them.
Ways to Use Shiitake Mushrooms
Here are some delicious ways to incorporate shiitake mushrooms into your cooking:
- Sautéed Goodness: Sauté sliced shiitake mushrooms with garlic, butter, or olive oil until golden brown and tender. Season with salt and pepper, and use them as a flavorful topping for steaks, chicken, fish, or even on a bed of creamy polenta.
- Stir-Fries: Add shiitake mushrooms to your favorite stir-fry recipe for an umami boost. They pair wonderfully with an array of vegetables, protein, and sauces. Try a classic teriyaki stir-fry or experiment with a spicy Szechuan-style dish.
- Mushroom Risotto: Elevate your risotto game by incorporating sautéed shiitake mushrooms. Their robust flavor blends beautifully with the creamy rice.
- Miso Soup: Enhance your miso soup by adding sliced shiitake mushrooms. Their rich taste complements the savory miso broth, creating a harmonious and satisfying bowl.
- Pasta Perfection: Toss sautéed shiitake mushrooms into your favorite pasta dishes. They work well with creamy Alfredo, hearty tomato-based sauces, and pesto.
- Vegetarian Burgers: Create mouthwatering vegetarian burgers by marinating and grilling whole portobello mushrooms. They make a substantial and flavorful burger patty alternative.
- Mushroom Tacos: Sauté shiitake mushrooms with onions, bell peppers, and your favorite spices. Use this mixture as a flavorful filling for tacos and all your favorite toppings.
- Ramen Upgrade: Elevate your ramen game by adding sliced shiitake mushrooms to the broth. They’ll infuse the soup with their distinctive flavor and enhance the overall experience.
- Quiches and Frittatas: Fold sautéed shiitake mushrooms into quiches or frittatas for an extra layer of taste and texture. They pair wonderfully with eggs and cheeses.
- Savory Sauces: Incorporate finely chopped or diced shiitake mushrooms into your sauces for an umami-rich boost. They can add depth to gravies, marinara sauces, and more.
- Dried Mushroom Broth: Make a flavorful broth by simmering dried shiitake mushrooms with aromatics like onions, garlic, and herbs. Use this broth as a base for soups, stews, and risottos.
- Mushroom Pâté: Blend sautéed shiitake mushrooms with herbs, cream cheese, and spices to create a delectable mushroom pâté. Serve it as a spread for crackers or bread.
Remember, shiitake mushrooms have a strong and distinct flavor, so that they can enhance a wide variety of dishes. Get creative and experiment with different cuisines!

An earlier Wolfpack Publishing title release video!
35 years in publishing. The author of over 4 dozen thrillers, westerns, crime and non-fiction works and several optioned screenplays. Six novels currently under option to producers. After extensive schooling in art (an architectural major) I'm venting my creative frustrations by doing covers for others, 35 authors to date. I've done over 400 covers, mostly for Wolfpack Publishing which, in four years, became the nations 4th largest publisher of westerns.
I've been a photographer and videographer for more years that I care to confess. I have over 10,000 images in my portfolio but also glean images from many stock photo services, or will use those you provide. The object is to satisfy your needs and preferences. And, of course, to SELL BOOKS!
I was once told by an old time pro in the publishing biz that a cover is a "little billboard" and that's stuck with me. But, with online sales, that billboard and ad has gotten even smaller and, consequently it's a new discipline. What worked on the rack or as a full page in a magazine doesn't necessarily work online.
"L. J. Martin has created book covers for more Amazon bestsellers than any cover designer in the industry and has been our go-to guy for 90% of the titles in our inventory."
- Mike Bray President/CEO Wolfpack Publishing.
"Of the more than three hundred covers done for my books, my favorites, and best selling, are by L. J. Martin. Westerns, thrillers, historicals, he does them all."
"Having had 14 true adventure wildlife law enforcement books and 10 western novels published, my finest and most successful covers were those designed by gifted illustrator L. J. Martin. If you want a cover that springs to life in one's hands, it's Martin."
"The covers L.J. melds together of disparate pictures and type are dynamic and eye-catching. They grab you even in the thumbnail versions that greet a reader on Amazon or other websites. Wonderful work."
-- John Legg, author of "Sheriff's Blood," "Hard Justice" and "Blood Feud"
Now that millions of books are sold on the internet, via Amazon, Nook, Smashwords, Kobo and others, cover design is a new art. A cover seen at 1" x 2" or less, needs style in order to be seen among the 6 million competing books on line. I've designed over 400 covers, and believe me, tracking sales gives you an idea of what works. And, what works for one genre won't necessarily work for another. If you want to sell books, write a great one, then bless it with an equally great cover. If they don't pause to read your cover copy, which they'll do if a great cover compels them to pick your book up or click through, then you'll suffer poor sales.
A great romance cover or western cover is relatively easy as compared to a great mainstream. You pretty well know the subject when it's Regency Romance or Gold Rush California. But, trust me, your readers know a Regency era gown and a western reader the difference between a cap and ball or cartridge rifle. It takes a special eye to do a cover that makes that digital buyer click through or that paper buyer pick it up off the rack. And it better have perfect time and place.
Don't pay. I take a fifty dollar deposit for your initial book cover design, and if you have legitimate complaints will do one re-do. The cover will have a watermark so you will get caught if you use it without clearing your balance. Most of my covers are $200.00, unless you become a pain where a pill won't reach. Then I'll advise you and you can drop out with only your deposit spent, or we'll add to the price and go on. Your call.

With the help of family and friends, I’ve been collecting Creation resources to check out and sort based on importance for you. This is one I’ve been wanted to share most. It’s going in the top-tier spot, aka “your family needs this!”
Why? Because Persuaded by the evidence is all about people. It has enough eye-crossing science-speak for me to hold off giving my kids until they’re about 13 or so, but that’s just part of the focus. This book is about how these scientists and others came to dedicate their lives to Jesus and recognize Him as the Creator God. Which means a lot of people who don’t care much about science will connect to this book.
Being a lady, I found this book much better than a romance story. You have the same tension wondering how they will find their Savior: What did it take? What held them back? How did God break through to them in the end? What most attracted them to Jesus? And the best part is, I have the same Lord and Savior! Ahhh, the wonder of it! 🙂
So, for girls, this is especially good. For guys: well, it’s all written by guys, so there’s nothing mushy about it.
For young people, It addresses a lot of the questions and doubts they experience now, or will when college starts. A few stories were of men who stayed firm about the Bible their whole lives, but the rest came out of the Evolutionary worldview.
For parents, some tell how they strayed from the Bible’s account and came back later; which is particularly important as their stories can serve as warning for us to avoid the same mistakes.
Some had never been exposed to anything but Evolution. Some became Jesus’ followers first and then struggled with the Bible’s claims about origins. A few accounts are from the early 20th Century when very little Creationist material was available. Their stories are all over the map in every way.
Large parts of this book are filled with the science leading them to doubt the Evolutionary storyline and turning them to the claims of the Creator God. The subjects range from “why are there still continents if the world is as old as claimed?” to “how can we know right from wrong if everything is random?” Lots of people saw the impossibility of Evolutionary changes producing the order and complexity we see in living creatures.
The last section of the book is a treasure in itself. It is accounts of some founders of the modern Creationist movement. Did you know Dr. Henry M. Morris rose on the shoulders of other outspoken men of God and science? Dr. Duane T. Gish, Dr. Gary E. Parker (who has a particularly poignant story), and Dr. Andrew Snelling are all in here. Morris, Gish, and Snelling are names you can’t avoid in our field. How delightful to know their stories of God leading and preparing them for the places they fill!
I recommend this book for every home which has teenagers or older living in it (yes, that means you, parents). 🙂
If you appreciate what I do, please use my affiliate link to purchase this from Answers in Genesis. Thanks much!
In the same way, my words leave my mouth,

This is a lively place for those who enjoy a spicy evening out. SHEVSKA 69 a themed modern show bar with a good selection of delicious cocktails and an intriguing, seductive atmosphere
The main goal of SHEVSKA 69 show bar was to mix Asian nightlife with a digital hint of Anime and Hentai. A play of neon, laser lights and fluorescent colors, a small mosaic that covered the wall and floor in pixelated patterns and was abstractly reflected in the shine of stainless steel.

Pick up a copy of any book in my Cajun Country Mystery series and you’ll see a basset hound on the cover—sometimes crafty, sometimes woebegone, but always there. In the series, the Crozat family pet is a male hound named Gopher. In real life, she was our beloved Lucy, who we adopted through the Basset Hound Rescue of Southern California. Lucy crossed the rainbow bridge in 2010 but will live forever on bookshelves, thanks to the talents of my wonderful series’ cover artist, Stephen Gardner.
I’m not the only mystery writer whose four-legged friend has served as a cover girl or boy. Here, seven cozy authors share the artistic inspiration they derived from their beloved furbabies.
J.C. EATON: When we lost our old coon hound mix, we were devastated, and Jim vowed never to get another dog again. But when we went to the pet store to pick up kitty litter, the Arizona Small Dog Rescue had an adoption going on and this adorable little Chiweenie came over to us, begging to be picked up and held. Well, that was it! Home we went with Streetboy. He was found on the streets in Oklahoma, then shipped to New Mexico, and finally Arizona, his last stop on the train. Hence, the name. When our editor asked us to add a dog to our first novel, we immediately created the fictionalized version of ours and named him Streetman. Their cover design, however, shows a shorthaired Chiweenie and ours has long hair. Still, we know who he is. (And he knows, as well!)
J.C. KENNY: Maria came to our family in February 2014 from the Humane Society of Indianapolis. She’s FIV positive, a condition which can make rescue kitties hard to place. Once we met her, though, there was no doubt we were meant to be together. Maria’s an affectionate kitty who loves to spend time on my lap, just hanging out. She can be bossy, but she also can sense my mood better than I can, it seems. If I’m feeling down, she’s right there by my side with purrs and other signs to let me know she’s there for me. I want to show that caring side of cats. In my Allie Cobb Mysteries, Allie and her cat Ursi are best buddies. Ursi gives Allie a lot of love and support. The relationship goes both ways, too, as Allie adores Ursi. Just like it does in real life with Maria and me. I hope my affection for cats, and Maria in particular, shines through in my books.
ESME ADDISON: For the past few years, my sons have wanted a pet. After research, I decided a German Shepherd would be the best fit for our family. But even before that, I admired the breed, so much so that I wrote a German Shepherd into my series before I had one. I added Athena, a female German Shepherd to the Enchanted Bay Mystery series, and then less than a year later bought a longhaired male German Shepherd for our family. They’re such intelligent, resourceful dogs in real life. It’s fun and challenging to find organic ways to add her to the story.
LIZ MUGAVERO/A.K.A. CATE CONTE: Junkyard Johnny was the coolest orange cat rescued (you guessed it) from a junkyard in New Hampshire. He had the cutest face and the funniest sound for a big tough guy—he squeaked instead of meowed. He ended up at the shelter where I volunteered, and I knew I had to take him home. Johnny was a handful from the minute he came into my life, but he was quite a character and I loved him dearly. When I started writing the Cat Cafe Mysteries, he was perfect as a model for the stray cat who walked into Maddie James’s life and adopted her. And the crew at St. Martin’s were more than happy to model the cat on the cover of all the books after one of his pictures! Johnny passed away a few years ago, but this series allows him to live on in the world as well as my heart.
VALERIE BURNS: Coco Chanel “Coco” was born 10/7/1999. She was a chocolate toy poodle and a ball of energy. She was a licker. If you weren’t careful, she’d catch you with your mouth open and…in she went. In 2002, I got another puppy to keep Coco company. Show Me the Money aka “Cash” was also a chocolate toy poodle. Cash’s personality was totally different from Coco. He was a happy boy with a zest for life that never failed to put a smile on my face. He fell in love with Coco at first sniff and was a game for whatever sinister plot she devised. It took Coco longer to realize that she needed this eager fluff-ball in her life, but eventually, they became the best of friends. In the Mystery Bookshop Mystery series, bookshop owner, Samantha Washington’s two toy poodles, Snickers and Oreo are based on Coco and Cash. Snickers shares Coco’s intelligence and snarky personality, and Oreo demonstrates Cash’s enthusiasm and joy.
LIBBY KLEIN: Sir Figaro Newton is a black smoke Persian with bright orange eyes who used to scare the bejeezus out of children. One three-year-old cried and said that he looked like a Halloween cat. Even as a little kitten he was bold and adventurous bordering on cocky. He would follow me all over the house meowing for attention—especially if I was making a roast. Ever the opportunist. He wasn’t super cuddly, but he loved to sit next to me and put his paw on my leg. His character in my series has been heavily influenced by his real-life self, and my other fur babies Miles—the flopper, and Miss Eliza Doolittle—the naughty.
TINA KASHIAN: I have a cat in my Kebab Kitchen series, and he plays a big part in the last book by rescuing Lucy. Gadoo translates simply as “cat” in Armenian. He starts as a stray who keeps hanging out in the parking lot of the restaurant. Lucy’s mom feeds him outside, but the frisky Gadoo keeps finding his way into the back storage room of the restaurant. Lucy ends up adopting him and taking him home. Gadoo is based on a cat I had as a child. My dad found a stray kitten in the parking lot of our family restaurant and the rest is history.

Every time someone is sick with nasal congestion, aches, and a low-grade fever, we frequently hear people seem to think they have the flu. The common cold and the flu can occasionally be difficult to distinguish. What is the actual situation with the flu, then?
The influenza virus is what makes people sick with the flu. In this article, we’ll go over a bit more information on the flu virus, including what it is, how it spreads, and the symptoms it causes.
What is Flu (Influenza)?
A viral infection known as influenza targets your respiratory system, including your nose, throat, and lungs. Although influenza is frequently referred to as the flu, it differs from stomach “flu” viruses that cause vomiting and diarrhoea. Flu spreads through respiratory droplets and is very contagious. It can be transmitted verbally or physically, such as when hands are shaken.
Every winter, seasonal epidemics of influenza A and influenza B spread throughout the world and in the United States. Typically, Type C leads to a mild respiratory illness. Some influenza A strains, including the H5N1 “bird flu” virus, can occasionally infect people and lead to severe illness. These strains are closely monitored by experts who attempt to foresee how they will evolve and how they may affect individuals.
The flu typically goes away on its own for most people. But occasionally, influenza and its side effects can be fatal. Those who are more likely to experience flu complications include:
- Children under the age of five, in particular those under six months
- Adults who are over 65
- Residents of long-term care facilities such as nursing homes
- Women who are pregnant and those who have given birth up to two weeks ago
- Those whose immune systems are compromised
- Native Americans
- Chronically ill individuals, including those with diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, asthma, and other diseases
According to the Centre of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a person who is suffering from flu may experience
- A stuffy nose
- High temperature for 3-4 days.
- Cold sweats and shivers
- Severs Aches
- Headache and fatigue
Not every flu patient will exhibit all of these signs and symptoms. For instance, the flu can occur without a fever.
Typically, influenza symptoms appear suddenly. A flu patient may initially experience
- High temperature
- Runny nose
- Dry cough
- Severe aches
- Low appetite
Symptoms in Adults
- Breathing difficulty
- pain in the chest or abdomen
- Dizziness loss of alertness
- Dehydration cause urination problem
- Body pain and unsteadiness
- Fever and cough which go back and come again.
- Other worsening health conditions
Symptoms in children
If children suffering from flu, then they need serious health care:
- breathing difficulty
- Fast breathing
- bluish face or lips
- ribs pulling inward as they breathe which cause chest pain
- severe aches
- lack of alertness
- Fever above 104°F or
- Fever and cough which go back and come again.
- Other worsening medical conditions
Symptoms in babies
The baby needs serious medical attention if they:
- If you do not hold them
- Blue or grey skin colour

When a person who has the flu coughs, sneezes, or talks, droplets of the influenza virus are released into the air. You can either directly inhale the droplets or pick up the bacteria from a surface, like a phone or computer keyboard, and then transfer it to your eyes, nose, or mouth.
People who have the virus are most likely contagious from a day or so before symptoms start to a week or so after they do. Children and those with compromised immune systems may spread germs for a little while longer.
New strains of influenza viruses frequently emerge as a result of ongoing evolution. Your body has already produced antibodies to fight that particular strain of the virus if you’ve previously had influenza. These antibodies may prevent infection or lessen the severity of infection if future influenza viruses are similar to those you’ve already encountered, either by contracting the illness or receiving the vaccination. But over time, antibody levels might drop.
Additionally, you might not be protected from new influenza strains that can be very different viruses from what you had previously by antibodies against influenza viruses you have already encountered.
Patient with uncomplicated seasonal flu:
Patients who do not belong to a high-risk group should only receive symptomatic care, and they should be advised to stay at home if they are symptomatic in order to reduce the risk of spreading the illness to others in the neighbourhood. The goal of treatment is to reduce influenza symptoms like fever. Patients should keep an eye on themselves to see if their condition worsens, and then seek medical help. Antivirals should be administered as soon as possible in addition to symptomatic care for patients who are known to be in a group at high risk for developing severe or complicated illnesses.
Antiviral medications should be administered as soon as possible to patients with severe or progressive clinical illness linked to suspected or verified influenza virus infection (such as clinical syndromes of sepsis, pneumonia, or exacerbation are of chronic underlying diseases).
- To maximise therapeutic benefits, neuraminidase inhibitors, such as oseltamivir, should be prescribed as soon as possible (ideally, within 48 hours of symptom onset). Patients who present later in the course of the illness should also be taken into account when administering the medication.
- It is advised to continue treatment for a minimum of 5 days, but this can be done if necessary to achieve satisfactory clinical improvement.
- Since corticosteroids have been linked to prolonged viral clearance and immunosuppression that results in bacterial or fungal superinfection, they should not be used routinely unless indicated for other reasons (such as asthma and other specific conditions).
- Adamantane antiviral medications (like amantadine and rimantadine) are ineffective as monotherapies against any of the influenza viruses that are currently circulating.
In order to provide timely recommendations for the use of antivirals in clinical management and potential chemoprophylaxis, WHO GISRS monitors antiviral resistance among influenza viruses circulating.
Sanitise your hands. Many common infections can be avoided by frequently washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. In the absence of soap and water, use alcohol-based hand sanitizers.
Do not touch your face. Do not touch your mouth, nose, or eyes.
Cover your sneezes and coughs. Sneeze or cough into your elbow or a tissue. After that, wash your hands.
Pristine surfaces To stop the spread of infection from touching a surface that has the virus on it and then touching your face, regularly clean frequently touched surfaces.
Don’t prefer to go in crowds. Everywhere there are crowds of people, the flu is easily contagious: in daycare facilities, schools, workplaces, auditoriums, and public transportation. You lessen your risk of contracting the flu by avoiding crowds during the height of the flu season.
First, getting vaccinated against the flu lowers the risk of getting sick. Flu complications can be potentially serious, necessitate hospitalisation, and are not just very unpleasant.
Furthermore, even if someone contracts the flu, the vaccine may still provide protection. In those who receive the vaccine but still become ill, the illness may be milder.
Last but not least, by getting the flu shot, you’re defending against the flu in groups that can’t get it or who are vulnerable to serious complications from it, like the elderly, young children, the immunocompromised, and those with long-term medical conditions.

How IOHK will put developers in charge of oracles on Cardano
Following the announcement about the partnership with Wolfram Alpha, Charles Hoskinson, the CEO of IOHK, took to YouTube to explain how the company will implement oracles to Cardano. The key to IOHK’s innovative approach, he revealed, is giving developers the freedom to choose and customize their own oracles.
Solving the problem of smart contract blindness
Smart contracts have opened up a whole new world of possibilities to cryptocurrencies, bringing essentially infinite programmability to blockchain networks. However, despite the huge advancements they made possible, smart contracts have an inherent flaw—they’re blind.
Unable to see outside of the network they exist in, they need to be fed information from the outside world in order to work. While this isn’t that big of an issue with simple smart contracts, the current market requires incredibly complex contracts that handle millions, and even billions in value.
There are two ways to feed oracles with information—either through a third party or directly by the network’s users.
When it comes to Cardano, IOHK has chosen both approaches.
The recent announcement about the partnership with Wolfram Alpha has put Cardano’s oracles into the spotlight. IOHK’s ambitious plan for the blockchain will require a stable and secure oracle solution that can handle not only the billions of users it wants to attract but also hundreds of thousands of developers building on the platform.
He said that the company was, until recently, focused on building partnerships and capabilities, but that the recent slew of updates and announcements marked the beginning of serious advancements in the field of oracles.
There are three aspects to establishing the foundation for oracles on Cardano—stake pool operators, the Singularity Net API, and Wolfram.
Hoskinson explained that a network needs to have an access point for smart contracts to get oracle information. As stake pool operators are responsible for maintaining and building the Cardano network, they represented a “very natural set” for IOHK to build an API that allows smart contracts to speak to the outside world. Emurgo, the blockchain company tasked with providing solutions that leverage Cardano, has been working with its partners and various third-party vendors on oracles and testing out different solutions, Hoskinson said.
Oracles are only as good as the information they provide
However, establishing a way to feed information to a smart contract is only the first step.
“You also need to operate on that data and its source,” Hoskinson said.
And that’s where Singularity Net and Wolfram step in.
“The power and magic of the Singularity network and AI is that you can do cool things with the agents of the platform,” he went on.
Wolfram, on the other hand, has one of the largest sets of data in the world to operate on. Wolfram Alpha powers both Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa assistants and has deals across an entire spectrum of industries. Hoskinson noted that there was no Fortune 500 company that doesn’t talk to Wolfram, which also offers an intuitive programming language that allows you to compute the data it provides.
Utilizing Wolfram and Singularity reinforces IOHK’s view on oracles, which is that they’re only as good as the information they provide.
The information provided by the oracle needs to have three key characteristics—veracity, availability, and completeness. Veracity means that the information is verifiably truthful, availability means that it’s readily accessible, while completeness means that it’s able to be computed. Determining the source of the information will enable the platform to accurately determine all of these characteristics, Hoskinson said. This will be a central feature of Cardano’s oracles and won’t depend on the source of the information. Hoskinson noted that the information fed to Cardano doesn’t have to come from a central database—stake pool operators, trusted servers, a federation of actors, and a third-party oracle service like Chainlink can all be the sources.
Once the way to feed truthful and complete information to smart contracts is established, it’s the job of stake pool operators to get it into Cardano itself. The robust infrastructure created around stake pool operators has mostly taken care of that issue, Hoskinson said, which is why most of the oracle efforts will be focused on the third, computational layer.
This is where Wolfram and Singularity come in, he explained, as they allow developers to write custom domain-specific queries when writing smart contracts. These queries then allow them to do all kinds of computations on the smart contracts, effectively increasing their functionality.
This entire flow, Hoskinson noted, will be done in a uniform way that ensures a smooth user experience.
Stake pool operators will be the oracle access layer—IOHK will make it easy for them to provide the interface for smart contracts to operate on. Stake pool operators will also be the ones that take queries written with AGI and Wolfram and plug them into different data sources.
While the first and most likely the primary data source will be Wolfram, Hoskinson said that IOHK strongly believes in giving Cardano’s users a choice—developers writing smart contracts will be able to plug into a different source of information. IOHK’s plan for 2021 is to construct an oracle access layer that will allow a rich oracle query experience. The common oracle query language, as Hoskinson calls it, will have a uniform interface so that developers can attach to different sources of information as easily as they would attach to Wolfram.
“The goal is to put the developer in charge of oracles,” Hoskinson said.
He explained that all DeFi apps built on Cardano will have a very easy turnkey way of querying information, operating on it, and being certain that the information is correct. IOHK will also make it easy to add multiple sources of information to smart contracts, with Hoskinson noting that developers will also be able to weigh and rank these sources of information.
With oracles able to process multiple different layers of assurance, users could, in theory, pay to access different levels of information veracity.
While the entire process might look complex, Hoskinson said that “it’s not super hard to put this together.” This year has been groundbreaking for oracles and they are much more evolved than they were in the previous few years. IOHK spent most of this year gathering the right people to work on oracles and evaluating the market. Hoskinson himself said that this was both the right place and the right time to dive into oracles.
More news about Cardano’s oracle solutions will be released in the first quarter of 2021. In the meantime, the company will onboard a dedicated product manager specifically for oracles, Hoskinson said, adding that he was excited about what’s to come for Cardano. | <urn:uuid:fa293ac4-3443-4bd9-b8e3-45511992b18c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://cryptoslate.com/how-iohk-will-put-developers-in-charge-of-oracles-on-cardano/ | 2024-04-24T02:57:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.948163 | 1,488 |

There is a lot of talk about voice of the customer (VoC) in customer experience (CX) circles. Most of it has to do with sifting through lots of data to determine what customers say about their needs and their perception of how well companies meet those needs. Sometimes the data comes through feedback surveys in the form of numerical rankings and/or open-ended text fields where, due to volume, text analytics are often used to gauge customer sentiment and monitor feedback trends.
The goal of VoC is to optimize companies’ customer journeys – essentially, the sum of their end-to-end experiences while interacting with your company or brand. By collecting and analyzing the data captured, organizations can benefit by finding efficiencies that lead to reduced costs and identifying opportunities that yield increased customer satisfaction, loyalty, and sales.
Before you can benefit from VoC initiatives, however, you first must ensure that you’re not so caught up in the analysis that you can no longer see and respond to the obvious. Here are three blatant actions to avoid that I frequently encounter as a consultant and customer, each of which invalidates or suppresses VoC results:
Don’t accept garbage. In computer science, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is the concept that flawed input data produces unreliable output or “garbage.” In VoC, it shows up in the form of customer survey tampering that undermines data integrity. A repeat offender is automobile dealerships. When I bought a new SUV five years ago, the dealership gave me a satisfaction survey to complete that had all the top ratings boxes highlighted for me to check before submitting to the manufacturer. Another local dealership’s service department offers an immediate online survey to elicit what customers’ responses will be to the survey that will eventually come from the manufacturer – the one on which they are graded and incentivized. If they are not perfect scores, the dealership pleads with you to allow them to resolve any outstanding issues to your satisfaction in order for their dealership’s performance rating to be unblemished – even though the result was manipulated and doesn’t reflect the customer’s actual experience. Manufacturers don’t learn from fake scores. They learn from genuine customer feedback.
Don’t ignore customers. Years ago, I worked with a New Yorker who had a subtle way of telling you to get lost. She’d say, sarcastically, “Love ya. Mean it” and then walk away leaving you to decipher how you should feel about the encounter. I have the same reaction to businesses that ignore the comments, questions, or feedback I share through surveys (that they ask me to complete), social media, or website contact. Of course, they LOVE me as a customer and clamor for my attention, spending, and feedback. But when I respond to them or initiate contact, I’m often ignored – and left feeling decidedly unloved. This summer alone I’ve submitted two home improvement jobs to companies via their websites’ contact pages. In both cases, I followed up with photos and phone calls. I eventually contacted a competitor for one of the businesses and have now completed the $988 glass and mirror project. Companies typically spend a lot of marketing dollars to spur web traffic, contact page submissions, and phone calls. Most can’t afford to then ignore customers’ inquiries and feedback.
Don’t go on autopilot. Just as autopilot relieves a pilot from having to constantly monitor the airplane’s controls, the use of boilerplate and template replies to customer inquiries are commonly used for efficiency and to increase the uniformity of responses’ structure and language. I am all for finding efficiencies that reduce cost to serve and other factors that erode profit margins. At issue is boilerplate responses that leave customers dissatisfied and their problems unresolved. I recently reached out to a popular sunglasses brand via its website’s contact page to find a remedy for the incessant fogging of my sunglasses due to wearing a face mask for protection in public places. The company responded within 24 hours via a standardized message to “please contact our Customer Care phone line.” There are a couple of problems with this reply: it does not address my issue in any way, so I feel unheard, and it requests that I contact the company a second time through a different channel to resolve an issue that I already explained via a Customer Care contact page at its website. This requires me to needlessly expend additional customer effort.
If the goal of VoC is really to optimize the customer experience, that means organizations should leave no stone unturned in their quest for CX improvement. This level of process improvement scrutiny assumes that the obvious variables have already been addressed: that customer feedback is not being manipulated so as to invalidate the results; that customers are not being ignored; and that process efficiencies don’t alienate or create work for customers.

With generative AI taking the world by storm in 2023, what can AI and smart automation mean for cybersecurity in 2024?
At the end of 2023, CybersecAsia managed to catch up with Kunal Anand, CTO and CISO, Imperva, for his take on cybersecurity trends in 2024, especially with the rise of generative AI and other automated tools in the cybercriminal’s arsenal.
With 2023 being dubbed the Year of AI, especially generative AI, what are the likely threats arising from both the increasing use of AI tools by both corporate users and bad actors?
Kunal Anand (KA): The increasing integration of AI tools by corporate sectors and malicious parties brings potential benefits and dangers. These sophisticated general-purpose AI models are designed to replicate human cognition, problem solving and creativity, intending to reflect human intellect in various contexts.
However, the possibility of misusing these systems to detect and exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems poses a substantial threat. Such exploitation affects businesses and their key stakeholders, including shareholders, employees, customers, and partners.
Critical threats from the growing use of AI tools include:
Data privacy and security breaches: Enhanced AI capabilities in processing and analyzing large datasets heighten the risk of data breaches and privacy infringements. Companies may inadvertently leak sensitive information, while malevolent actors could employ AI to pinpoint and manipulate security weaknesses.
Automated hacking and cyber-attacks: AI’s ability to automate and refine cyber-attacks escalates their sophistication and difficulty in detection. This encompasses AI-powered phishing, ransomware assaults, and the exploitation of system vulnerabilities.
AI-driven fraud: Demonstrated by AI’s proficiency in cracking CAPTCHAs, these tools can now enable fraud on an unprecedented scale and complexity, impacting financial systems, e-commerce, and the security of personal identities.
What other developments in 2023 do you think would continue to be trending in cybersecurity in 2024?
KA: The imminent obsolescence of CAPTCHAs as a security measure signifies a significant shift in the cybersecurity landscape due to AI advancements. Once reliable for distinguishing humans from machines, these Turing tests are becoming increasingly ineffective as deep learning algorithms, such as visual object detection, advance, enabling automated systems to bypass such tests easily. To adapt, alternative methods like analyzing web page interactions or peripheral usage are being considered to identify human users more effectively.
Another significant issue is API abuse and business logic attacks. The growing use and proliferation of APIs and a lack of detailed visibility into each API call and the data flowing through them pose substantial risks for data leakage. Rapid development cycles often mean APIs are deployed into production with insufficient review, cataloging, or security assessment, leaving vulnerabilities unaddressed. The direct connection of many APIs to backend databases, where sensitive data is stored, makes them attractive targets for hackers seeking access to applications and databases to exfiltrate sensitive information.
Software supply chain attacks are also rising, highlighted by recent incidents like exploiting a critical flaw in MOVEit Transfer. This trend underscores the importance of securing the entire digital landscape, including third-party suppliers, to mitigate these risks. Companies must assume responsibility for the security of their entire digital environment, regardless of whether the components are developed in-house or integrated from external sources. This involves implementing comprehensive controls to monitor and protect assets.
The responsibility extends beyond third-party risk management. Organizations should pressure vendors to provide thorough vulnerability reports, including an unredacted software bill of materials (SBOM). This is crucial for demonstrating compliance and identifying potential supply chain threats, ensuring a more secure and resilient digital ecosystem.
Do you see new threats arising from organizations moving into the ‘phygital’ space and the metaverse?
KA: Attacks targeting devices like Meta’s Oculus or Apple’s upcoming Vision Pro are not expected to introduce new short-term threats. These devices are extensions of existing computing platforms, differentiated mainly by their unique user experiences.
When considering the metaverse, especially in the context of Web 3.0, there are several noteworthy threat vectors to consider:
Data privacy concerns in more complex environments: The metaverse and ‘phygital’ (physical + digital) interactions will involve collecting and processing large volumes of personal data, including biometrics and behavioral patterns. This poses substantial privacy concerns, particularly regarding how this data is stored, utilized, and shared.
Identity theft and avatar fraud: In the metaverse, identity theft risks could evolve into avatar fraud, where malicious actors may impersonate individuals’ virtual personas. This could lead to fraudulent activities or the spread of misinformation within these digital realms.
Tokenized asset security: With tokenizing physical assets (such as real estate) in the metaverse, new risks emerge around property theft and fraud. This shift necessitates novel asset protection forms and mechanisms for resolving disputes in these virtual environments.
Increased attack surface for businesses: Integrating physical and digital platforms in the metaverse significantly expands the attack surface for organizations. This exposes them to broader cyber threats and underscores the need for more robust and comprehensive cybersecurity strategies.
While the core technologies may not be entirely new, their application within the metaverse and Web 3.0 contexts introduces unique challenges and security considerations.
How should organizations in APAC today prepare to address the cybersecurity challenges in 2024?
KA: In 2024, we face many evolving threats amidst a significant technological transformation. The nature of applications has transformed; where web applications once dominated, APIs now constitute 80% of all internet traffic, a dramatic increase from the 20% pre-Covid era. This rapid change within just three years underscores the urgent need to develop new strategies for API protection. Many companies have thousands of unidentified APIs, posing a critical challenge for CIOs who must prioritize their discovery and management.
The accelerated digital transformation during the COVID-19 pandemic has also heightened general data risks. Many organizations rushed their modernization efforts but now face uncertainty about the whereabouts of their sensitive data. This lack of visibility becomes a significant concern if an attacker gains access to this data – how can one identify what was compromised without knowing where it was located in the first place?
Organizations must rethink their approach from first principles. Relying on current controls and strategies may not suffice. There’s a need for a comprehensive reevaluation of investments across networks, cloud services, applications, and data workloads.
The emerging threat landscape is increasingly characterized by sophisticated bots that mimic human behavior, demanding innovative solutions to effectively identify and mitigate these threats. Therefore, organizations should proactively adapt and re-strategize to confront these new challenges in the evolving digital landscape. | <urn:uuid:ea6a105d-bf82-4cea-99c1-b489fb8f90f4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://cybersecasia.net/opinions/2024-cybersecurity-trends/ | 2024-04-24T03:03:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.919749 | 1,380 |
Team Canada concluded the UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships on Saturday in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, with gold and silver medals, bringing the total number of medals for the event to five – one gold, two silver and two bronze.
In the men’s C2 category, Tristen Chernove finished his world championships by winning the Scratch Race, adding to the silver medal he won on Thursday in the Individual Pursuit, and the bronze medal on Friday in the 1000 metre time trial. In addition, Chernove topped the standings in the first ever Omnium; a compilation of points over four events. The Omnium in Apeldoorn is a test event for possible inclusion at the 2024 Paralympics, so no medals were awarded.
“It was a super fun day,” said Chernove. “I always love bunch racing, so this is the event I was most excited about. To come away with a victory in the Scratch, I feel thrilled. It was a great race that finished in a bunch sprint, and to take home the jersey for the Scratch was my goal coming here. And to win the Omnium was a bonus.”
In the women’s C4 competition, Keely Shaw won her first ever world championship medal, finishing second in the Individual Pursuit to Emily Petricola of Australia, who set a world record. Marie-Claude Molnar finished just out of the medals in fourth place for the same event. Molnar finished third overall in the Omnium standings; Shaw did not compete in all four events.
“I really excited for the outcome,” said Shaw. “I don’t think any of us were expecting this, so when I realized I was racing for the world title, I was super excited.”
Ross Wilson was fifth in the C1 men’s Scratch Race, to finish third overall in the Omnium standings.
Sebastian Travers, Para Head Coach at Cycling Canada, said, “It was a very good Worlds for us. If we include the Omnium podiums, we tied our best Worlds ever. This is great to see in our athletes, one year away from the Paralympic Games. Although we haven’t put everything together for peak performances, I happy to see how everyone worked together as a team. I have been relying on personal coaches as well as national coaches to get our athletes ready, and everyone has done an amazing job. We developed a four year mission plan following Rio and we continue to progress according to this plan. We are confident that this will lead to key performances in Tokyo 2020 .”

Bitcoin suddenly surged more than 10%, jumping from about $6,310 to $7,006, according to CoinMarketCap. The price is swinging wildly, and is at $6,944 at time of publishing. The rise brought just about every altcoin along with it except for Tether, which dropped amid an apparent sell off of the stable coin.
Meanwhile, a Bitcoin crypto exchange in Chile just added support for the Lightning Network (LN), a scaling solution designed to dramatically increase the speed and lower the cost of transactions.
Customers can use LN to buy gift cards, vouchers, prepaid smartphone cards and more.
We have great news! From now on our users can use Lightning Network to pay at lightning speed??Try it on the new "Pagos Lightning" button of your account on https://t.co/KttBJZy3Wa. More information at https://t.co/p4SnoOpDhr pic.twitter.com/wAfFWzYh7D

The popular contract service DocuSign is giving its customers the option to secure agreements on the Ethereum blockchain. The company made the announcement in a blog post about new features coming this fall.
“Also in Manage,’ for customers who want a blockchain as part of their System of Agreement, we have a pre-built integration with the Ethereum blockchain, the most popular blockchain for smart contracts. Although DocuSign can natively verify the integrity of any DocuSigned document, this integration provides an additional option for verifying document evidence via blockchain technology.”
Ripple and XRP
Paycent is adding XRP to its mobile wallet app and payment platform.
Customers will be able to store XRP and use Paycent’s “Paycard” to convert XRP into local currencies and withdraw cash from ATMs.
An up-and-coming Tron-based decentralized exchange just released a new progress report.
The developers at TronWatchMarket say they plan to launch a pre-alpha release of the platform within the next two weeks.
Litecoin and Monero
In a recent interview, Litecoin founder Charlie Lee sheds some more light on which altcoins he is most interested in.
Lee told SFOX he finds Monero the most interesting, after Bitcoin and Ethereum.
“Another project that I’m interested in is Monero. I think a bit of privacy and fungibility is something that’s missing from Bitcoin and Litecoin, and it’s very much needed.
I do agree that Bitcoin Cash is definitely a competitor, but they’re coming from an angle, I would say, of being PayPal 2.0. They do everything on-chain, so transaction throughput will be high, but they’re sacrificing decentralization. It becomes harder and harder to run a node. And then fewer and fewer users will be running nodes — it’ll be left to big corporations and big miners. Before you know it, it’s centralized around those big players. That’s definitely something I’m not interested in.”

Training is of prime importance in our lives. Although, government of india has made education loose and obligatory up to 14 years of age; it is getting extraordinarily high priced to get quality schooling. The scholarships provided via esteemed universities are very few in assessment to the many hopeful and deserving applicants. Due to the expenses, eager minds of these students are left unbridled. But all’s not bleak and gloomy, in fact, now the situation is quite the contrary. Schooling in india is flourishing way to pupil training loans furnished with the aid of many government and private banks. Let’s test a number of the features of scholar education loans. Eligibility
typically, schooling loans are provided to students of indian nationality in the age institution of 15-30 years. Any other requisite of it’s far that the student applying for the mortgage need to have a working determine or a parent to be the guarantor. The loan approval could be primarily based at the capability of the borrower and the guarantor’s belongings, liabilities, earnings, etc. Additionally, the scholar have to keep a very good educational report and he/ she need to have secured admission with the aid of clearing the important front examinations for that course. Courses
you can benefit from the student education loan for publications in india which might be accredited by using the kingdom and imperative authorities as well as guides from overseas universities.
The nature of the path and the reputation of the university can be checked by means of the financial institution imparting the scholar schooling loan. The student education loan covers lessons expenses, library, hostel, in addition to different fees of books, uniforms, journey, and so on. Loan restrict
the maximum loan limit for research in india is rs. 10 lac and the maximum loan restrict for reading abroad is rs. 20 lac. If the loan is for rs. 4 lac and above, then 5% of the margin is applied for studies in india and 15% for studies abroad. For mortgage as much as rs. Four lac, there are no safety requirements. But, if the loan quantity is higher than that, then one has to offer some like belongings, lic rules and government securities. Many institutes have tie-usawith banks thereby presenting decrease rates. Also, some banks offer lower costs to woman students. Repayment
the reimbursement option for a pupil training loan could be very flexible. Normally, one has to begin paying the emis after the finishing touch of the path but in case the scholar does now not get a task then a grace duration of 6-three hundred and sixty five days is offered. Inside the due time, if the scholar receives employment then he has to start the emi payments. The period of reimbursement varies from financial institution to bank. It could be from everywhere between 3-15 years. | <urn:uuid:49942bd7-5a2e-4c56-aebb-b31d35d85c8d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dailyhover.com/get-a-student-education-loan-to-complete-your-study/ | 2024-04-24T02:37:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.968139 | 578 |
Diego Simeone has revealed how his Atletico Madrid side were able to defeat Manchester United at Old Trafford and book a place in the quarter-finals of this season’s Champions League.
Despite Manchester United starting the first half brightly, it was Atletico Madrid who took the lead through Renan Lodi’s first-half header.
The first half strike happened to be the game’s decider, sending United out of the competition in the round of sixteen on a 2-1 aggregate.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Simeone explained, “It was a brilliant effort from the lads, one of our best games this season.
“We started with a 5-3-2 then changed to a 5-4-1 with Antoine Griezmann on the right of midfield and Renan Lodi growing more and more on the left.
“The defence was brilliant and Jan Oblak helped us remain calm throughout. It was a real team effort.” | <urn:uuid:ccd13767-f819-44e3-98f9-aef71738eb42> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dailypost.ng/2022/03/16/ucl-why-we-defeated-manchester-united-atletico-madrid-boss-simeone/ | 2024-04-24T04:19:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.976619 | 212 |
Texas jewelry maven Kendra Scott launches timely new collection
A new line of timepieces and Apple Watch-compatible bands inspired by Scott’s passion for unique shapes and materials ushers the brand into a new category as the designer’s first watch collection.
Combining the functionality of a timepiece with Scott’s iconic designs, the new watches showcase the brand’s affinity for color and natural gemstones. Customers will recognize the Kendra Scott heritage shapes in six key styles, including the Alex, Dira, and Elle leather wrap. Each style features a unique, inlaid stone or shell face sourced from around the globe, ranging from mother of pearl and black mother of pearl to turquoise magnesite and abalone.
Each watch also features a GIA-certified diamond centered in the logo medallion at the 12 o’clock index, a nod to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that have made the homegrown Austin brand a household name over the years.
Price points for the new products range from $198-$328 for watches and $128-$148 for watch bands, which are compatible with the Apple Watch Series. The collection launched in retail stores and online at KendraScott.com/watches on Wednesday, April 13.
"We are thrilled to continue to expand the Kendra Scott brand with the launch of watches, a natural next step in our product innovation," says Scott. "We all track our screen time, our scroll time, but not our time spent doing the things we love. A timepiece is a reminder that there's no better gift than the time we can spend together, and I hope that this new category helps inspire our customers to take the time to celebrate moments for themselves and their loved ones this spring.”
Scott got her start creating jewelry in a spare bedroom at her Austin home in 2002. Her company, now valued at $1 billion, currently operates more than 115 stores across the country, including several in Dallas-Fort Worth. | <urn:uuid:eed24830-e9ab-4304-847e-070844ee8f9a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dallas.culturemap.com/news/fashion/04-14-22-kendra-scott-new-watches-apple-mothers-day/ | 2024-04-24T02:20:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.92153 | 412 |
I've been spending a lot of time at the beach lately.
And now, I've been forced to ask this question: Is it my imagination or do most women look better in one-piece bathing suits? Oh, I know that in this "woke" era this may be a loaded question that may get me in a lot of trouble. But "frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn".
I've seen plenty of bodies on the beach -- dozens and dozens of 'em. And I can tell you two things: 1) There are a lot of women who are wearing two-piece bathing suits who absolutely should not be wearing them; and 2) Even the shapeliest women look better -- and sexier -- in a one-piece suit. No matter the shape, hue, figure or girth of the lady in question, a one-piece suit usually looks better. And, get this: I've checked with a couple of women and they've told me that a one-piece suit is no less comfortable than a top and bottom version. In fact, they tell me that the one-piece is actually more comfortable and easier to wear.
The simple truth is that a one piece suit better showcases all women. You don't have to be Marilyn Monroe or Elizabeth Taylor (Remember them?) to look great in traditional swimwear. And likewise, you don't have to wear a two-piece (or a bikini or thong) to look sexy. In fact, you may be showing us way too much and leaving too little to our imagination. And that's just not very much fun.And I'm not necessarily limiting this to female bodies. Let's face it: Most men do not look good in a Speedo or a suit that's obviously too small for them. And yes, men need to be careful about how much they show as well. Truth is they're showing us too many beer bellies, too many love handles too many flabby (and sometimes flappy!) parts. Most guys should stick to surfer trunks or suits that are just above the knee and wear tees on the beach unless they're particularly well-proportioned or ripped. And, spare us trunks that slip below the waist and reveal butt cracks. Buy the right size and/or use the drawstring that comes with the trunk.
BTW: These rules for both men and women are even more applicable the older you get.
And one more thing: In both men and women, a suit that covers more will also cover some of those tattoos that we don't wanna see as well. | <urn:uuid:8d90656a-7e74-4dc9-bae8-eacc5b96b5f3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dancirucci.blogspot.com/2021/07/why-women-look-better-in-one-piece.html | 2024-04-24T02:31:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.974739 | 536 |

With the latest innovations driving faster business growth and efficiency, there is an ever-increasing demand for people who possess strong digital literacy skills, a gap which The Training Room (TTR) is determined to address through its new partnership with IT recruitment specialists, Premier Group.
In a recent report published by Jobsite and Totaljobs, the UK’s technology sector appears to be suffering from a skills shortage.
It found that multiple skills in the industry are high in demand, with cybersecurity and software development topping this list.
In a bid to reduce the number of employers going overseas to hire sufficiently qualified talent, some 44% of them have agreed that sector-specific qualifications and training is key to addressing this shortage and reviving the technology industry.
The business strain caused by the digital skills gap could cost the UK as much as £141 billion in GDP growth over the next 10 years according to multi-national professional services company, Accenture.
Also faced with Brexit, which could have a stifling effect on the labour flow between Britain and our European neighbours, it’s predicted that almost three million jobs could be left unfilled by 2030.
All this research points to a race against time for education to catch up with technology.
Focused on the task in hand, TTR is making all the right moves to ensure its students are equipped with the skills and certifications they need to forge successful careers in IT-related industries which, in turn, will provide businesses with the digital expertise they so desperately need to remain competitive in the fast-paced, technology-led world we now live in.
Marcela Nowak, client relationship manager for TTR said, “We’re fully aware of the massive shortage of candidates with the digital literacy skills required to fill specific roles across the industry, and we’re determined to help plug this gap by providing the best and most tailored IT and development training available.
“By partnering with Premier Group, which specialises in IT recruitment, we now have even greater insight into the existing and emerging skills required by employers operating in the technology space, which will enable us to develop our courses to meet these demands.”
Mutually beneficial for both parties, the partnership will help to ensure that TTR’s students obtain qualifications lead to real industry jobs, while Premier’s team will benefit from having a healthy pool of talent that meets their clients’ needs.
“Essentially, what we’re trying to do is connect employers with candidates to fill more roles within the industry, because the skills shortage is most definitely there.
“We want to be the ones helping to drive change to support the country’s businesses and economy to create a brighter future for everyone,” added Nowak.
Established in 2000, Premier Group specialises in providing a bespoke and consultative staffing solution to both clients and candidates across IT, engineering and digital brands, and it’s excited by the opportunity the partnership with TTR presents, as Ben Broughton, managing director of Premier Group explained, “We strongly believe in the power of our people to recruit specifically for our candidate’s skill set.
“We’re very excited to join TTR in its mission to match talented individuals with careers they’ve worked so hard for – we then work diligently to understand what each candidate is looking for before partnering them with their dream position through our enviable network of clients.”
Plugging the digital skills gap is not something that’s going to be achieved overnight, but TTR and Premier Group – two growing companies aligned in their thinking – are confident that through a collaborative approach between training providers, recruiters and employers, the UK can put itself in a much stronger position to thrive in the digital age amongst a changing social landscape. | <urn:uuid:a1601eb4-9ae0-47b1-9725-7acd00ea29e6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://datacentrereview.com/2019/05/the-training-room-and-premier-group-committed-to-help-plug-uk-digital-skills-gap/ | 2024-04-24T03:41:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.958233 | 786 |
Data from: Transcriptome analysis of Drosophila melanogaster laboratory strains of different geographical origin after long-term laboratory maintenance

Positive selection may be the main factor of the between-population divergence in gene expression. Expression profiles of two Drosophila melanogaster laboratory strains of different geographical origin and long-term laboratory maintenance were analyzed using microchip arrays encompassing probes for 18,500 transcripts. The Russian strain D18 and the North American strain Canton-S were compared. A set of 223 known or putative genes demonstrated significant changes in expression levels between these strains. Differentially expressed genes were enriched in response to DDT (P=0.0014), proteolysis (P=2.285E-5), transmembrane transport (P=1.03E-4), carbohydrate metabolic process (P=0.0317), protein homotetramerization (P=0.0444), antibacterial humoral response (P=425E-4). The expression in subset of genes from different categories was verified by qRT-PCR. Analysis of transcript abundance between Canton-S and D18 strains allowed to select several genes to estimate their participation in latitude adaptation. Expression of selected genes was analyzed in five D. melanogaster lines of different geographic origins by qRT-PCR and we found two candidate genes that may be associated with latitude adaptation in adult flies – smp-30 and Cda9. Quite possible that several alleles of these genes may be important for insect survival in the environments of global warming. It is interesting that the number of genes involved in local adaptation demonstrate expression level appropriate to their geographical origin even after decades of laboratory maintenance. | <urn:uuid:085979ec-ba15-4075-966f-6100b8a66132> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://datadryad.org:443/stash/dataset/doi:10.5061/dryad.zs7h44j5h | 2024-04-24T03:23:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.884251 | 433 |

Lar Lubovitch displays his work of artful dance at the Kennedy Center for two nights only. He is amongst the brilliant choreographers on the contemporary dance lineup for the 2012 – 2013 season. Lar’s work is bright, alive and distinguished. His choreography teeters between modern and contemporary dance to abstract movement and performance art. But, it is also in essence, very much about dance as an age-old art form. The pieces evoke folk and social dancing. Each one intimately draws a connection with the accompanying music, which for most of the pieces plays loudly for a minute before the curtain rises.
Lar Lubovitch Dance Company, based in New York, has been creating dance since the late 1960s. Lars has created more than one hundred dances over the last fifty years. This year, he presents four pieces including The Legend of Ten, Little Rhapsodies, Crisis Variations, and Transparent Things.
The Legend of Ten (2010) is a dance of ten dancers stepping into the role of cartographers. You may only know this in having read background about the dance otherwise it isn’t obvious on stage. The movement itself is wavy and fluid. It is very much about discovering in the moment. The power packed and emotional current of Johannes Brahms’ Quintet for Piano, Two Violins, Viola, and Cello in F Minor, Op 34 strongly supported the piece. The dancers themselves, dressed in black with mesh-like tops are bold and elegant. With this opening piece we begin to get a taste for Lar’s movement voice, which is a beautifully deep understanding for both classical and contemporary dance.
Next comes Little Rhapsodies, a joyous swirl from a triplet of male dancers. Again, the music — Robert Schumann’s Symphonic Etudes, Op 13 — is so poignantly connected to the dance. This is certainly a signature of Lar’s work. This piece is inviting and playful. We experience an impressive force in each of the men’s movement that Lars later discussed in the post-show talk back as offering a distinctive weight and gravitas.
The third piece Crisis Variations takes a sharp turn away from the fluidity of the first two works. Complex and layered, this piece is challenging to follow. It is meant to inspire a sense of crisis. Lars himself wanted the dancers to experience this and thrust them into frenzy when he changed the music to Franz Liszt’s Transcendental Etudes one week prior to the premiere. The dancers were forced into a foreign world that they had to adjust to quickly. Dancers Katarzyna Skarpetowska and Brian McGinnis pair off from the remaining dancers in this piece and display a fuzzy, tangled dynamic on stage.
The final piece Transparent Things returns to the familiar purity and innocence of the first two works. This is Lar’s most recent piece. It is based on the Pablo Picasso painting “Family of Saltimbanques,” that depicts a world of street performers and entertainers. Lar’s is drawing a connection between the life of saltimbanques and the life of the dancers on stage: one that is fleeting and loosely held together. Here we witness Lar’s background as a visual artist and painter tied distinctly to movement. Each dancer on stage is dressed to ignite a character from the painting.
Transparent Things is a lovely offering to the life of traveling artists. This piece is lively and animated. The additional live quartet on stage adds more of a performance art structure and less a dance alone. The Bryant Park Quartet performs Debussy’s String Quartet in G Minor, Op 10.
The dancers take on characters with individual histories and emotional weight. At one point the dancers charmingly sneak around the musicians and watch them longingly. It’s a beautifully choreographed moment that unifies the “Family of Saltimbanques.”
Running Time: Approximately two hours, including two intermissions and one pause.
Lar Lubovitch Dance Company dances through tonight at The Kennedy Center’s Eisenhower Theater – 2700 F Street, NW, in Washington, DC.

Within a week of commencing open hostilities between Indian and Pakistani forces in December 1971 IAF was able to achieve complete air superiority in the Eastern Sector. In the Western front Counter Air Missions against PAF bases also continued unabated. One such strike was carried out by pilots of 20 Squadron based at Pathankot. On 08 December 1971 four Hunters armed with only front guns and 2×230 gal + 2×100 gal tanks took off for PAF airbase Murid. This was a major fighter base of PAF in Punjab sector that the Pakistanis thought was out of range for Indian fighters. Hence when the Hunters pulled up over the base they were completely taken aback. Out in the open they saw F-86 Sabres possibly refueling and rearming after a raid in the Indian territory. Hunters had their pick and choose and made several passes destroying a four engine transport aircraft, five Sabres and possibly few MiG-19s.
Murid raid is considered as one of the most successful counter air attacks of the war. In the words of a Pakistani historian, “As it turned out, the December 8 IAF attack decimated approximately 30 per cent of the strength of 15 Squadron of the Pakistan Air Force”. | <urn:uuid:ae2e6bfb-ea5d-41ad-b7fd-60a255f1aa61> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://debgohain.com/index.php/aviation-art/aircraft-paintings/attack-on-pakistani-airbase-murid-detail | 2024-04-24T02:15:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.982815 | 247 |

The Connecticut Sun has announced that guard Jasmine Thomas will miss the remainder of the 2022 WNBA season with a torn ACL injury. Thomas will have reconstructive surgery on her knee, but no timetable for the surgery or rehabilitation has been given.
— Connecticut Sun (@ConnecticutSun) May 24, 2022
Thomas sustained the injury in the first quarter of the Sun’s win against the Indiana Fever. She left the game with three points, three assists, and a rebound.
This is Thomas’ first big injury in her WNBA career that will require her to be sidelined for an extended period of time. In 12 years, she has only missed 7 games due to overseas duties and personal reasons. She has played 358 games and is the leader in games played with 222 in the Sun’s active roster.
“Reading this still doesn’t even feel like it’s me we’re talking about. Still processing that this is my reality. Appreciate the overwhelming support, kind words & well wishes. If I don’t reply individually, I see it, I feel it. Thank you. Be back soon”, said Thomas on a Twitter post.
The Sun is currently first in the Eastern Conference with four wins and only one loss. | <urn:uuid:260386e1-9d86-4088-964a-43164dfa8a06> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://defpen.com/jasmine-thomas-will-miss-remainder-of-wnba-season-with-torn-acl/ | 2024-04-24T03:25:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.971255 | 263 |
