In recent weeks we’ve been rolling out a new mandatory training course, ‘Security and Data Protection Training’, to staff across Defra group.
The work began two years ago as a project, driven by our team alongside Defra HR learning and development colleagues. The initial scope was to identify improvements to the previous ‘Responsible for Information (RFI)’ training package, a mandatory piece of learning that everyone in the Civil Service, including contractors and temporary workers, must complete.
The favoured solution from very early on was to develop a brand new, bespoke Defra digital training product. However, we also felt that our new product could potentially have wider use across government as it used a behavioural science approach, coupled with more relevant and engaging material.
Putting our users first
The new training is designed for a generalist audience (relevant to everyone whether they work in an office developing policy, or in the field delivering services), with content that reflects current issues and ways of working.
That content has been designed to be reflective of diversity within the Civil Service too. We reached out to several specialist groups across Defra offering them the opportunity to provide feedback or to take part in the testing phases. This engagement enabled us to identify and address potential issues around diversity and inclusion. The new training is also shorter, and it’s more engaging, utilising a variety of technologies and delivery methods.
We’re all responsible
A key benefit of this training is that it reminds us of our responsibilities in the control and handling of information. It’s the only specific security training undertaken by the whole of Defra group on a regular basis. It explains an individual’s responsibilities, what the risks are, what we can do to minimise those, and what we should do if something goes wrong.
The course is also designed to meet guidelines on web content accessibility (usable and understandable for most people with or without disabilities). This is a Civil Service Learning (CSL) requirement. For those with hearing issues all video and audio components are accompanied by a transcript.
Testing to improve, sharing our knowledge
As you might expect extensive testing took place before we launched last month. This testing involved not just the project team, but a range of other stakeholders and specialist groups within Defra too. We used the Defra internal comms network to trawl for volunteers. Those volunteers were sifted to ensure they were representative of the diverse Defra workforce.
Our approach to this challenge addresses some of the issues raised in the recently published Government Cyber Security Strategy, which specifically highlights the importance of staff awareness and training. That strategy, which aligns with the National Cyber Security Strategy, sets out the government’s approach to building a cyber resilient public sector. It will help make core government functions – from the delivery of essential public services to the operation of our National Security apparatus and critical national infrastructure – more resilient to cyber-attack.
Good cyber security is essential to deliver government services and protect government information. We know that our systems are being relentlessly targeted. Of the 777 incidents managed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) between 2020 and 2021, around 40% were aimed at the public sector.
We know too that our adversaries are increasingly capable. And so having civil servants fully up to speed with these issues is a priority, and one which we’ve been glad to play our part in supporting.

Oti Region: Chief Justice inaugurates four courts
Justice Anin-Yeboah noted that the commissioning of the courthouses is part of the Judiciary's objective to make justice accessible to the people in the area.
Chief Justice His Lordship Kwasi Anin Yeboah last week inaugurated four court facilities in the Oti Region - a High Court and Circuit in the Oti Regional capital Dambai, as well as district courts at Kadjebi and Bonwiri-Fahiakobor, the Biakoye District.
Earlier in February, a district court was commissioned in the Krachi Nchumuru district, bringing the total number of courts commissioned in the region so far to five.
Speaking at different ceremonies during the inauguration, Justice Anin-Yeboah noted that the commissioning of the courthouses is part of the Judiciary's objective to make justice accessible to people in the area.
This particular cause he mentions, began early on last year, following a government promise to provide 100 courthouses and accompanying residences for judges and magistrates across the country.
Of the lot, these included a new High Court at Sowutuom, in the Ga-Central Municipality, a court facility at the Nadowli-Kaleo District of the Upper West Region, a High court with additional responsibility as a child-friendly gender-based violence Circuit court in Nalerigu, the regional capital of the North-East Region
This year so far has seen the commissioning of a Circuit court at Dansoman in Accra, the Kasoa High Court, two courts at Juaso and Bompata, both in the Asante-Akim Municipality, a Circuit Court at Juaben in the Ashanti Region, a new district court at Bonwire in the Ejisu Municipality of the Ashanti Region, a circuit court at Kluma Dorfor, the North-Tongu district of the Volta Region, and others.
The highlight of these perhaps was the inauguration of the new Court of Appeal complex in Kumasi, together with twenty (20) townhouses and a guesthouse to serve as permanent residence for Justices of the Court of Appeal serving the northern sector of the country. | <urn:uuid:b786de72-af85-4471-9a66-b982ce4bf41b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dennislawnews.com/article/oti-region--chief-justice-inaugurates-four-courts | 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 | 0.949432 | 471 |

Week 2 – vs. Tennessee Titans
Read the full Titans Q&A here.
Will Lomas of Titan Sized‘s prediction: Toss up
"I am going to mark it as a toss up. After losing Calvin Johnson, the offense become much easier to focus on. I think Jason McCourty will cover up the #2 receiver (Marvin Jones) and Dick LeBeau will bracketGolden Tate and bring pressure against a young front. On offense, I expect Ziggy Ansah to get a lot of attention from Craig Stevens and Taylor Lewan. Lewan has the athleticism to stick with most edge rushers, but Ansah is special and will get special attention. I could see a young offensive line struggle and screw up Marcus Mariota, but I could also see the team getting into rhythm on the ground and hitting some nice chunk plays. At the end of the day, if Marcus Mariota has time in the pocket I think he can beat this defense and win the game. However, that was never a given last year so I can’t be confident it will happen this year until I see it."
Lions’ record: 0.5-1.5

Cheers to you, Clarissa Dickson Wright
Teaming up two posh, fat old birds to do a show about cookery was definitely a counterintuitive idea. In an era when health is everything and pleasure is supposed to take second place to getting your ‘five a day’, the stars of Two Fat Ladies – Clarissa Dickson Wright and Jennifer Paterson – were decidedly un-PC TV stars. Their food was rich, they had no time for vegetarians – whom they treated like some kind of alien species – and they were quite content to go and blast their food out of the skies with a shotgun.
Dickson Wright was a smart woman with distinctly hedonistic tendencies, as her love of booze revealed – she was a former alcoholic by the time she became a star. Hers was a full life. She grew up in posh St John’s Wood in north London, the daughter of a surgeon (who was also an alcoholic), and even claimed to have had sex behind the speaker’s chair in the House of Commons with an unnamed MP. It was the litres of tonic (or rather, the quinine they contained) that she consumed with her gin that she claimed screwed up her adrenal glands and made her fat. She certainly liked the high life, making herself bankrupt three times, despite inheriting millions.
While she could be a bit of a snob when it came to cheap food, she was still a breath of fresh air at a time when the whole discussion of food comes with a large side order of fear. Her popularity was testament to the irritation of the public with moralising health freaks, and her philosophy was that life was for living, not for the mere avoidance of death. That’s definitely worth a large, celebratory G&T. Farewell, Clarissa Dickson Wright.

In 2011, China launched a huge policy and investment drive to bring safe drinking water to the entire country, including its remotest areas. The central government’s goals included “completely solving rural drinking water safety issues,” a target enshrined in the 12th Five Year Plan (2011-2015).
When Premier Li Keqiang visited the Ministry of Water Resources (MWR) in late 2014 to review progress, he described the remaining tasks as “hard bones” to chew. His first stop on that November 24 visit was the Rural Water Division to check on rural drinking water safety projects and plans.
While city dwellers have mainly demanded better water quality, the drinking water safety issues facing rural Chinese are arguably even more urgent. Some face problems obtaining water at all, while more struggle to get enough enough clean, accessible and affordable drinking water.
Targets and spending
So what were the goals set out in the nationwide “12FYP Rural Safe Drinking Water Project?” They included access to safe drinking water for 298 million rural residents, and for teachers and students in 114,000 rural schools by end-2015, and raising the centralized water supply rate to 80%.
Investment in rural drinking water safety-related infrastructure construction during the 12FYP was set at 175 billion yuan (US$47.88 billion). Although this may seem relatively low compared with 410 billion yuan for urban water supply, it is still the largest investment in rural drinking water in recent years.
Investment during the 12FYP built on past initiatives. The Ministry of Health (MoH) launched a nation-wide “rural water supply improvement” project in 1990. Since 2000, the central government has invested almost 300 billion yuan in rural drinking water safety projects. During the 11th Five Year Plan period (2006-2010), the topic was promoted to a national planning level problem. Three major government bodies — the National Development and Reformation Commission (NDRC), MWR and Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) — jointly released the first "National Rural Drinking Water Safety Project" five-year plan, which received 100.9 billion yuan in government funds, and led to safer drinking water safety for over 210 million rural residents.
Contingency projects have brought “life-saving water” to rural people who either lacked water or didn’t have drinkable water. But the challenges ahead remain substantial.
At the end of 2010 when the 12FYP began, there were still over 400 million rural Chinese – 42% of the rural population — who had to collect water directly from water sources, using basic water supply delivery systems, or none. Among them, 85.72 million people had no water supply facilities at all, and so were getting their water directly from rivers, streams and ponds.
Of the 298 million rural residents whose drinking water safety problems were meant to be addressed during the 12FYP, 105 million people had water of substandard quality, and 91.3 million faced water shortages.
Not all these problems have been solved. At the beginning of 2015, 51.63 million rural residents and 7.04 million rural teachers and students still had unresolved drinking water issues, according to the MWR.
As the 12FYP enters its deadline year, it is clear that China still faces many challenges in order to meet its rural drinking water safety goals.
Big challenges ahead
One worry is that in the quest to achieve the central government’s goal of “completely solving” rural water problems by 2015, construction of supply systems will be completed in a hurry but water supply and quality may not be guaranteed, according to a staff member involved in the mid-term evaluation of the “National Rural Drinking Water Safety Project 12FYP,” who revealed that a group of experts had submitted an assessment of early achievements and problems with the projects in the first half of the 12FYP.
Liu Wenjun, director of the Division of Drinking Water Safety at Tsinghua University, commented that, “completely solving” rural drinking water problems would involve more of an administrative planning style than the current approach. He added that completely solving the issue for everyone is a “mission impossible.”
As rural drinking water is a complex issue, Liu worries that there will always be people who are missed out, usually those living in remote areas with no, or only poor quality, water supply due to geographical limitations. Moreover, economic constraints make it extremely difficult to solve drinking water issues for these people.
The ‘A Glass of Clean Water’ project by NGO Greenovation Hub surveyed nearly 100 villages and six schools across 11 provinces in China. The survey found that local governments have favored large-scale, low-cost rural drinking water construction projects with larger numbers of beneficiaries in an effort to achieve central government goals. As a result, small-scale projects and those in remote areas have lagged behind.
Rural drinking water safety faces great challenges to water resources, in terms of both quantity and quality. On one hand, lower overall availability of water to due climate change and overuse of groundwater has led to significant reduction or depletion of groundwater and surface water sources in certain rural areas. The result: some villagers who were helped by previous projects once again lack safe drinking water. Meanwhile, the quality of rural drinking water sources has deteriorated under the impact of mining, industrial wastewater discharge, excessive pesticide and fertilizer use, livestock breeding, domestic sewage discharge, and improper waste disposal.
The quality of drinking water in rural China also needs urgent attention. At present, rural drinking water is regulated by a “less stringent” version of the "National Drinking Water Quality Standard", and some indicators are relaxed. Whether rural drinking water meets even this standard remains unclear. Official channels rarely disclose information. Rural drinking water crises are widely reported by media around the country.
As 2015 progresses goals are being devised for the 13FYP (2016-2020). Water Resources minister Chen Lei, said in January that the 13FYP would include work on improving rural drinking water quality and the efficiency of water supplies. Steps will be taken to increase rural tap water penetration rate, water supply guarantee rate and water quality levels, he said.
“China’s Long March To Safe Drinking Water,” a joint report being released by China Water Risk and chinadialogue identifies further key issues threating rural drinking water safety. They include unclear water price mechanisms; a lack of sustainable projects; lack of human resources; and securing funding for existing and future projects. Rural drinking water safety is “heavy on construction” and “light on management”, the report says. | <urn:uuid:599fa363-36e9-4541-821b-d727a8cca434> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dialogue.earth/en/pollution/7762-china-set-to-miss-safe-rural-drinking-water-targets/ | 2024-04-24T03:38:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.963709 | 1,365 |

North-Sea Transition Authority
News: The U.K. plans to conduct more fossil fuel drilling in the North Sea, sparking concerns about its alignment with climate goals.
What is NSTA?
• The North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) is a UK government company that is responsible for maximising the economic recovery of oil and gas from the North Sea, while also supporting the transition to net zero emissions by 2050.
• It was formerly known as the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) until March 2022, when it changed its name and mandate to reflect its new role in the energy transition.
• The NSTA has the power to license and regulate activity in relation to oil and gas exploration, production, decommissioning, carbon capture and storage, and offshore gas storage in the UK continental shelf.
• It also has the duty to ensure that the maximum value of economically recoverable petroleum is recovered from the North Sea, and that greenhouse gas emissions from the sector are reduced as far as reasonable.
Why is North sea important?
• Almost the entire seabed of the North Sea is a continental shelf (depth of only about 200 meters). The geological formations beneath the North Sea, such as porous rocks and structural traps, provide suitable environments for the collection of oil and gas reserves. | <urn:uuid:157bbb86-8e41-4f1e-8c54-4a855aace138> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dics.co/current-affairs/north-sea-transition-authority-upsc | 2024-04-24T02:01:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.938202 | 327 |

1. Total debt balance is just under 83k (82,997) as of today. After the 3/31 paycheck hits, I'll get close to 82k with additional debt payments. I'm feeling confident about getting down to 75k total the end of the year, possibly even down to 72k, depending on whether or not there are big expenses with house/car/cats or just routine maintenance. Much better than the nearly 90k that I started 2018 with.
2. I finished another one of my online CFP courses today! Just two more to go, one per quarter, and then I'll start the CFP review process. I expect to be taking the exam a year from now, which will wrap up for now the process of getting financial certifications (CPA exam finished in 2010, Enrolled Agent 2013, then CFP hopefully in 2020). I started my career change path in 2004 so that will be 16 years of pretty continuously being enrolled in SOME kind of course. After that, I'll just do my annual professional education and will try to branch out and do more hobbies and business development/networking kinds of activities.
3. On the subject of networking, I was invited to join the Finance Committee of our city's public library. It's been hinted to me that I could later be invited to become a full-fledged Board of Directors member as a result of this service.
4. This next week is another super-busy week, with five client meetings, but I am delighted to see no more than two meetings per week so far scheduled on my calendar for April. That could change, but it looks like we are moving from the extra-busy time of year to the "business as usual" time of year, which is much less stressful. I'm planning a long weekend in mid-April to focus on doing some spring cleaning, as I noted this week that the last time I saw the actual top of my dining room table was around Thanksgiving!
5. I went out last night with two friends to dinner and a movie ("Gloria Bell"), the first time I've done anything sociable since February 15.
6. I walked to the office today and now that the weather is changing, hope to start walking more regularly. It was nice to see the snowdrops, crocuses, and even a few daffodils in bloom already. Ramping up the exercise and working with a physical trainer for 4-6 weeks to master some exercises is a Q2 goal, but now thru April is just for getting my blood pumping and myself moving much more regularly than I have been. I've only had 10 10,000 step days so far this year, and I'd like to get that number to about 40 by the end of April--in other words, work a lot harder on getting there almost every day.
Gradual goal progress

The planet Vulcan, home of Spock
If you’re a Star Trek fan then you would know that the parents of Spock are Amanda, a human, and Sarek, an ambassador from the planet Vulcan.
Where is the planet Vulcan? In 1845, French astronomer Jean Joseph Leverrier proposed that Vulcan existed between Mercury and the sun as an explanation of a discrepancy in Mercury’s orbit. At certain times, Mercury appears to move backward. Einstein’s theory of relativity later explained Mercury’s orbit.
In the mean time, Vulcan seem to have moved and is now thought to be in the inner asteroid belt of the planetary system Epsilon Eridani, about 10 light years, or 62 trillion miles away from earth. | <urn:uuid:ce624eeb-1384-49e8-ae0c-a93cac471c77> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://didyouknow.org/the-planet-vulcan-home-of-spock/ | 2024-04-24T03:52:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.926883 | 153 |

In the bustling metropolis of London, where time is of the essence and the unexpected can disrupt even the best-laid plans, flat tyres and other tyre-related issues can be a common source of frustration.
However, there’s a solution that’s rapidly gaining popularity and saving the day for London’s busy residents: mobile tyre replacement services.
The Urban Challenge: Londoners are no strangers to the hectic pace of city life. From navigating congested streets to balancing work and personal commitments, every moment counts. When a flat tyre or other tyre problem occurs, it’s more than an inconvenience—it’s a potential time sink that can throw off an entire day’s schedule.
The Mobile Tyre Replacement Advantage
Mobile tyre replacement services have emerged as a beacon of convenience and efficiency in the face of London’s tyre troubles. Here’s why they’ve become a go-to solution for city dwellers:
On-Demand Convenience: Mobile tyre replacement services can be scheduled at your convenience, wherever you are. Whether you’re at home, the office, or even stranded on the side of the road, these services come to you.
Swift Emergency Response: London’s unpredictable weather and road conditions can lead to unexpected flat tyres. Mobile services are equipped to handle emergencies, getting you back on the road without delay.
Expertise at Your Doorstep: Skilled technicians arrive with all the necessary equipment to perform professional tyre replacements, wheel balancing, and other services on-site.
Wide Tyre Selection: These services often offer a broad range of tyres, allowing you to select the right ones for your vehicle and driving needs.
Getting the Most Out of Mobile Tyre Replacement in London:
Regular Maintenance: Despite the convenience of mobile services, it’s essential to conduct regular tyre maintenance, such as checking tyre pressure, tread depth, and overall condition, to reduce the risk of unexpected replacements.
Seasonal Preparedness: London’s shifting weather patterns mean that it’s vital to switch between summer and winter tyres as the seasons change. Plan these transitions in advance to ensure your safety and vehicle performance.
Tyre Size Information: Keep your vehicle’s tyre size details on hand to make the replacement process smoother and ensure the correct tyres are fitted.
Emergency Kit: A basic tyre repair kit and the contact information for your chosen mobile tyre replacement service should be in your vehicle, ready for use in the event of a flat tyre.
Local Regulations: Familiarize yourself with local parking regulations that may affect the service’s ability to reach you promptly, and ensure you are legally parked during the replacement.
Responsible Tyre Disposal: Mobile tyre replacement services in London often emphasize eco-friendly practices. They are typically well-equipped to dispose of your old tyres in an environmentally responsible way, contributing to the city’s commitment to sustainability.
Emergency Contact Information: Besides the mobile tyre replacement service, it’s crucial to keep a list of emergency contacts in your vehicle. This list should include a trusted mechanic, insurance company, and roadside assistance provider, as well as friends or family who can assist in case of an emergency.
Weather-Appropriate Tyre Selection: Given London’s ever-changing weather, discussing with the service provider the best tyre options for your specific driving conditions is essential. Whether it’s for rainy, snowy, or dry weather, selecting the right tyres ensures your safety and vehicle performance.
Tyre Technology Awareness: Stay informed about the latest in tyre technology and innovations. New tyre technologies, such as run-flat tyres, self-sealing tyres, and low-rolling-resistance tyres, can significantly impact your driving experience and fuel efficiency. Discuss these options with your mobile tyre replacement service to see if they align with your needs and preferences.
Local Knowledge: Local mobile tyre replacement services are often more familiar with London’s unique conditions and road regulations. Supporting local businesses can lead to more personalized service and a better understanding of the specific needs of London drivers.
Insurance Coverage Review: Check your auto insurance policy to see if it covers best tyre replacement in London. Some insurance providers offer coverage for tyre-related incidents, potentially saving you money in the case of unexpected damage or punctures.
Regular Vehicle Maintenance: Incorporate tyre inspections and rotations into your regular vehicle maintenance routine. This proactive approach can help extend the life of your tyres and improve overall vehicle performance.
Safety Education: Stay well-informed about tyre safety aspects, such as the significance of maintaining correct tyre inflation, regular tread depth assessments, and comprehending load capacity. Familiarizing yourself with these factors can lead to more informed choices and ensure a secure driving experience.
Vehicle Emergency Kit: In addition to a basic tyre repair kit, ensure you have a comprehensive emergency kit in your vehicle. This kit should comprise essential items like a flashlight, basic tools, a first-aid kit, blankets, non-perishable food, and water. It can prove invaluable in a variety of emergency situations.
In a city that never sleeps, best mobile tyre replacement services are more than just a convenience; they are a lifeline. They allow you to navigate London’s fast-paced lifestyle with confidence and ensure that unexpected tyre issues don’t throw a wrench in your busy schedule. Whether you’re at home or on the go, these services have your tyre troubles covered.

This route is best ridden late Spring through Fall, not when wet!
The best place to start the ride is at the boundary between Ketchum and the Sawtooth National Forest. It’s ~ 3 miles down Warm Springs Road outside of Ketchum. You can shorten the ride by starting at the hot springs.
The first part of the ride has the most traffic as you weave among lovely cabins that are really second homes for the rich and famous who live part time in Ketchum. You hug the river and enjoy a 1 – 3 % grade for a long time.
As the houses fade out you will run across the hot springs, random single space camp areas, and more views of the river. You are deep in a canyon that winds through low foothills. There are several burn areas with blackened trees and new growth.
As you wind up toward Dollarhide Summit the views of the surrounding mountains unfold. Aspen mixed with pine … along with open fields. Eventually you cross over the river and then your climb kicks up to 5-7 %.
The top of the pass is obvious, with a sign that encourages you to ride the extra 19 miles to Smoky Bar and Store. We were smart enough to turn around … but don’t let us stop your adventure. No promises that the place will be open or that they serve anything beyond PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon). You will be out of range from all the hoopla of Ketchum to demand your triple macchiato, apple martini or grapefruit kumbucha.
Enjoy the pass … along with the view, there’s a small graveyard up to the left and steep road to the top of Dollarhide mountain.
The return takes no time at all, you have 34 feet of climbing left… if it’s chilly out, you will love the hot springs.
Dirt parking lot, ~ 3 miles outside of Ketchum, on the right hand side of road. Marked by the Sawtooth National Forest sign.

Water is the most essential nutrient we can put into our bodies. Americans consume 8.6 billion gallons of bottled water each year. They spend over 11 billion dollars a year on bottled water. 1500 water bottles are being consumed every second in the U.S. Water is the wisest choice of beverage. For this reason, shouldn’t you be including bottled water in your new and used vending machines?
To begin with, 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. An average person loses around 90 ounces of water every day. Dehydration can cause foggy memory, fatigue, irritability, headaches, and a dip in metabolism. Everything in the body functions better when it is hydrated. Accordingly, the average woman needs 9 cups of water a day and the average man needs 13 cups of water each day. Everyone needs water. Thus, why not keep your vending machines stocked with water? Nestle Waters put out an informative brochure entitled, “Healthy Hydration”. In that brochure, they stated that “water is on track to becoming the #1 selling packaged beverage in America.” Likewise, you could definitely cash in on some of those sales whether you provide combo vending machines or soda vending machines.
Exercise, heat, altitude and certain medical conditions all increase the body’s need for water. This bit of information could help you place your vending machine in a good location- a location that could give you increased revenue if you stocked it with bottled water and other healthy vending options. You could increase sales by placing a vending machine in a gym or in the hallway outside a school gym. You could increase sales by placing your machine in a medical center or a doctor’s office. Be smart about the location you choose for your vending machine and then stock it with items that appeal to the customers and employees of the host business.
Most people focus primarily on what they eat and not on what they drink! The healthy vending trend has vending machine owners and operators stocking their machines with healthier options. For example, bottled water and snacks made from whole grains and sugar substitutes are the new wave of vending. Therefore, stocking your machine with bottled water, sparkling water, purified water, mineral water, or spring water can save your customers billions of calories. If you replace one sugar-sweetened beverage per day with a bottle of water you can save 50,000 calories per year. However, beware of the sugared water products.
Consumers are getting smarter and reading the nutrition labels on the products they consume. In a post entitled, “The Truth About Vitamin Water”, Emily Davidson wrote about one of these products that poses as something healthy but in reality is not. She writes, “Vitamin Water gives the illusion of a healthy, hydrating, and rejuvenating miracle elixir. The bottles are beautiful, colorful, and the text on them is snappy and clever…. There is no question that there is some genius marketing at hand…. The cold, hard truth is… Vitamin Water is fortified sugar water. Check the label yourself.” And American’s are! Don’t give your customers this “fortified sugar water”. Give them the real thing. Particularly, pure bottled water.
Actually, bottled water is cleaner than tap water. Federal regulations are stronger for bottled water than they are for tap water when it comes to contaminants like lead, and coliform bacteria. That is great news for people who reach for a bottle of water over taking a glass to the nearest tap. In addition, you could advertise this on your vending machine using a media link. Americans are already buying bottled water. As a result, you can get your piece of the profits. Put some water bottles in your vending machines and start selling! Is there a particular vending machine for sale, that you are looking for? Give us a call. We’d be happy to assist. | <urn:uuid:d3f3b941-d6b9-4523-9f73-060cd3d5512c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://discountvending.com/healthy-bottled-water-vend-big-profits/ | 2024-04-24T01:56:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.942587 | 803 |
How to create a contact sheet with photos in gimp?
I’m taking a course on photography but it’s all given with non-free software that I don’t intend to use outside the course.
I plan to do everything I learn with gimp, rawtherapee(ART or darktable) and digikam…
I’m going to need help regularly!
Google your question and you should find the answer there. I just did and saw that there is a relevant youtube video. BTW, I teach imaging and I hate the way Universities, schools and others all believe the world revolves around Adobe. I teach GIMP and darktable mainly to my students. Fewer and fewer people are wanting to learn Photoshop and lightroom. I suspect the subscription model drives many people away.
I believe Adobe Bridge can make contact sheets and a little known fact is that Adobe Bridge can be legitimately downloaded free of charge (at least was the case when I last looked).
I downloaded Faststone viewer to do this. Works well.
That is true, but I believe Bridge has been discontinued for a while already, at least its original, for the lack of a better word, form. I have not checked if they restored its functionality.
Filters > Combine > FilmStrip
Plenty of potions (including those that remove sprocket holes).
Otherwise, load in your image viewer and take a screenshot…
There is an old python plugin - Attached, unzip put contactsheet.py in your Gimp User Profile plug-ins folder.
Also, give it a try but it crashes my kubuntu Gimp 2.10.36
Others XnViewMP will generate a contact shhet.
contactsheet.zip (8.0 KB)
Thank you for your reply.
I’m on GNU/Linux and use only free software, the course I’m taking uses adobes software.
Even if you can download an official version of Adobe Bridge for free, I don’t want it.
I do the course work with adobe on the school’s computers, but I’d like to develop my skills only with free software.
At least others have made some good FOSS suggestions that should work on linux.
Then give gThumb a try, under Tools you’ll find the option Contact sheet, select your photos and there you go. Numerous ways to alter the appearance, default is this:

Hello, I’m rather new to this, so please go easy on me
After a lot of preliminary reasearch I found RawTherapee to be the best choice for me, and have 5.9 installed and running.
I downloaded 16 RAW (Canon, CR2) image files from shotkit.com, and went to try the editor.
Upon researching, wanted to see size and quality differences between jpg lv 80, 90, 100 with optimized quality vs optimized compression.
I found I want to export lv90+Best compression, as I will only use my pictures “for web” at this point in time, and file size difference is too minor to settle for lv 80, even though the quality is pretty much the same for web / on-screen purposes.
Now the issue:
If I let RawTherapee export the RAW to JPG using the QUEUE, I get a JPG file of 208.3 kB
If I export to JPG using the ‘Save As’ dialog (with SAME settings!), I get a JPG file of 4.6 MB
SAME SETTINGS, with NO EDITING DONE AT ALL (exporting the RAW same way I downloaded it, not touching anything)
Export settings as far as I can tell are RAW to JPEG 8-bit, Quality lv=90, optimized for best compression.
SINGLE DIFFERENCE I FOUND AFTER DEEPER INSPECTION OF PP3 FILES:
PP3 file for smaller JPG says in line6 “Rank=0” under [GENERAL] , while pp3 file for larger JPG says in line 6 “Rank=-1”
What am I missing? ← What is the cause for the difference in file sizes using these two methods, that afaict should do pretty much the same job?
OK, I found another obvious difference that slipped by me, very crucial, probably the answer: the smaller file is exported 900X599 pixels, the larger file 5626X3745 pixels.
So now my question is probably about “export profiles” and how to configure the default export profile in queue mode to be the same as the one in ‘save-as’ mode.
I do believe I’ll find it soon though, now that I know better what to look for.
In the screenshot attached I see that for “Fast Export” - Resize is set to max=900x900.
I changed it to 3840×2160 so it’s optimized for pretty much everything, according to “common resolution” found in
turned it off and on again, settings are saved and I think the “problem” is solved.

If your work requires you to be on the road often or you are in need of more versatility with your current workstation, then the AXIS DigiStation is the companion that you’ve been searching for. AXIS DigiStation gives the flexibility to recreate a smaller, rugged and more versatile workstation on the road. You can remove the accessory components from the AXIS Stand for traveling jobs, allowing you to attach the accessory components onto a generic stand to make your work-life easier.
AXIS DigiStation was created with the traveling adventurer in mind. Whether you are a DIT, Digital Tech, Photographer, on set colorist or in the advertising industry and your work requires shooting full productions while on the road, this setup gives the flexibility to create a smaller, rugged, and more versatile workstation.
There won’t be any blood, sweat and tears with the assembly of this kit. INOVATIV’s patented vDrop design allows accessories to easily be mounted and removed from the AXIS Stand by one person, allowing you to customize your workstation without breaking your back.
The AXIS Stand, roughly 3’ in diameter, is an aluminum black stand with anodized orange leg straps and is height adjustable. When fully extended it is roughly 79” tall and 50.5” long when collapsed.
AXIS DigiStation is a portable workstation that can be kept in the studio or on location. Need to travel with your gear? No problem. Leave the AXIS Stand and wheels at home and take the modular components with you on the road. The modular components can be easily removed from the stand and packed for travel.
If you own INOVATIV’s DigiCase Pro or the 1535 Pro Ultra kit, you can combine it with the AXIS DigiStation for a more versatile and efficient workstation. AXIS DigiStation comes with a Digi Platform that is an ideal setup for the DigiCase Pro or any product in that size range. The Digi Platform has edges on all four sides to keep items placed on top secure.
A VESA compatible monitor can be attached to the Pro Monitor Mount, which is height adjustable on the riser sections of the AXIS Stand. Whether you like to work with your monitor at eye level or taller, the AXIS Stand’s height adjustability provides you with enough adjustment to find that ideal viewing angle. The Pro Monitor Mount on the stand pin can go as high as 90” or as low as 55”.
The Trough attached to the base of the stand provides convenience for gear like battery packs, extra lenses, backup cameras and more.
AXIS DigiStation wheels are equipped with INOVATIV’s 8” premium quick-release wheel system. Each wheel is comprised of both strong steel adapters and lightweight aluminum caster parts that feature 100% sealed bearings and INOVATIV’s powerful foot brakes. The wheel system was designed to offset the center of gravity for increased stability.
The Weight Hanger is a new accessory that can be attached on one of the stand legs. It’s a quick release, spring loaded weight hanger that has a hook to attach the AXIS 25 lb Weight Bag.

This interior design project is for a 140sqm unit within a new terraced house development in the countryside in the Venice area. The ground floor features an entrance, the living area, the dining and kitchen facing the rear garden through a wide opening opposite to the entrance.
The first part of the cantilevered stairs is a monolithic timber volume that hosts a bespoke cupboard of the same material. The choice of natural materials led to the use of wood and stone for the majority of the surfaces. The use of natural light is predominant but balanced with some elements of light fittings of Italian design that give an overall feeling of soft atmosphere. | <urn:uuid:995fc4a6-7409-45a8-9a9e-c4de80921266> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://divisare.com/projects/423060-andrea-nalesso-francesco-russo-luceterapeutica | 2024-04-24T03:52:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.927863 | 130 |

Mitaka Series Release Notes¶
Add ‘binding_host_id’ and ‘binding_profile’ support to neutron_port custom type.
Add user_domain_name and project_domain_name parameters.
Add certificates configuration options for lbaas service.
Midonet v5.x plugin doesn’t rely anymore on a custom DHCP agent, also it only uses a subproject for db sync instead of the old method of overriding the neutron-db-sync completelly.
Parameters of type dict must be at the end of the shell command to not cause conflict with the network name. Neutron cli picks up the network name as the first parameter without “–” prefix, thus tresting type=dict as the network name instead of the real network name because it comes before. By providing the special dictionary type commands after the network name the behaviour of the cli is bypassed and neutron takes the network name and proceeds interpreting parameters with special format ( not in the form of –<param>=<value> )
Adds the ability to manage the memcached servers for keystone_authtoken in neutron::server
The package name for the midonet neutron plugin previously used an older naming syntax from times passed that no longer existed in current repositories. To fix this issue the package name was updated to “python-networking-midonet” which is provided by third repository from Midokura.
The package name for nuage neutron plugin changed due to decomposition of vendor plugins from neutron package to per-vendor packages.
Added geneve config options in type_drivers.
Added max_header_size parameter to ml2 plugin for use in geneve configuration.
service_providers are configured through neutron::server class.
Added the configuration options to configure neutron availability zones for server and agents.
Providers updated to being able to configure router/network with availability zone.
VPNaaS service_provider was being configured in a file not being loaded up by neutron server. It has been consolidated with lbaas service configuration into neutron.conf.
Added python-neutron-lbaas package to be installed with neutron::services::lbaas. this removes a dependency of installing agent on neutron api server to enable the lbaas service.
PLUMgrid neutron plugin assumes the default keystone v2 for a given deployment. The issue is fixed by switching the default config to keystone v3.
PLUMgrid neutron plugin isn’t able to specify nova metadata subnet, that is used by PLUMgrid metadata implementation. The issue is fixed by making nova_metadata_subnet configurable.
Add ‘dnsmasq_dns_servers’ option support to dhcp agent settings.
Added neutron::plugins::ml2::arista class to manage the arista ml2 driver.
Added neutron::plugins::ml2::arista::l3_arista class to manage the arista ml2 l3 plugin.
Added octavia lbaas v2 services class.
Added haproxy lbaas v2 services class.
Added option to use either v1 or v2 agent in neutron agents lbaas.
[DEFAULT]/network_device_mtu option is deprecated and will be removed in Newton. However, new [ml2]/segment_mtu is deprecated too according to neutron/common/config.py. New [DEFAULT]/global_physnet_mtu should be used.
The lbaas v2 agent package ensure in neutron services lbaas has been deprecated, the agent should be installed from neutron agents lbaas.
If Neutron is installed from Ubuntu packages, neutron-server and openvswitch/linuxbridge agents use separate files to load configuration related to ML2 plugin. So in order to use security groups firewall_driver value should be passed to both configuration files (ml2_conf.ini and openvswitch_agent.ini)
This is the first Mitaka release for puppet-neutron module.
Add api_paste type/provider.
Add ensure_*aas_package booleans for ::neutron::server. In case of installation of neutron API service on standalone node while having enabled FWaaS, VPNaaS or LBaaS as service plugins one has to install their packages otherwise the neutron service will fail to start.
Provide support for VPNaaS service_provider.
Add LBaaS v2 support.
Support the LibreSwan driver for VPNaaS on Red Hat platforms.
Update Cisco ML2 Nexus parameters.
Update PLUMgrid packages & parameters.
Update Nuage orchestration.
Add support for Midonet ML2 driver.
Add support for OpenDaylight driver.
Add support for Bigswitch ML2 driver.
Notify Linuxbridge agent when RabbitMQ parameters change.
Add SSL parameters to communicate with Nova.
Neutron_subnet will now be able to update.
Add support for modern authentification to providers.
Add ‘distributed’ parameter for neutron_router.
Add ‘ha’ parameter for neutron_router.
Add IPv6 options to Neutron_subnet type.
On providers, correctly parse csv even with extra output.
Add ‘desc’ parameter for Neutron_router_interface.
Support of PyMySQL driver for MySQL backend.
Add parameters for Neutron QoS support.
Release notes are no longer maintained by hand, we now use the reno tool to manage them.
List upgrade notes here, or remove this section. All of the list items in this section are combined when the release notes are rendered, so the text needs to be worded so that it does not depend on any information only available in another section, such as the prelude. This may mean repeating some details.
Deprecate _delete_namespaces parameters, not used anymore in Neutron.
Remove deprecated options dhcp_domain & dhcp_delete_namespaces.
Removed deprecated option external_network_bridge.
Deprecate API parameters for metadata agent, not needed anymore in Mitaka.
Use identity_uri and auth_uri by default and deprecate old auth params.
Set v3 auth related options by default.
Remove QPID messaging support. Qpid messaging driver is removed from oslo.messaging so we won’t support anymore.
Fixes bug 1560716 so LinuxBridge configuration file path is the correct one for RDO & UCA packaging.
Metadata agent config should be applied after package installation.
Add normal bug fixes here, or remove this section. | <urn:uuid:ff2cd954-263d-4b83-afa4-51901438e0b5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/puppet-neutron/mitaka.html | 2024-04-24T02:18:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.756952 | 1,417 |
OpenCloud’s Sentinel framework enables online charging over Diameter Ro, Diameter Rf and CAP.
Online and Offline charging is a key part of Voice over LTE, and is particularly relevant for the MMTEL-AS.
The following image shows the three key types of charging instances. Each is a Sentinel VoLTE B2BUA.
The diagram shows the three key concepts:
There are Originating, Terminating, and Forwarding MMTEL instances.
The S-CSCF “re-targets” a session if it is performing terminating processing, and the destination is altered. This means iFC is re-evaluated.
The History-Info header communicates the fact that the Session has been forwarded. The MMTEL-AS inserts (if not present) or adds-to (if already present) the History-Info header, when it re-targets the INVITE to a changed destination.
Forwarded Sessions may be forwarded, and then forwarded, and so on, infinitely. To stop infinite forwarding, the History-Info header is used.
MMTEL’s CDIV Service (a feature in Sentinel VoLTE) is responsible for stopping infinite forwarding.
Let us assume that Online Charging is used for every session:
When you make a call, Online Charging is applied (to charge you for making the call).
When you receive a call, Online Charging is applied (to charge you to receive a call — this is typical when you roam to another country).
Therefore, each Instance is creating Online Charging requests. So for a session that is forwarded once, and only once, and answered, the OCS will see four sessions:
One Originating for A→B (charging the A party for a call to B)
One Terminating for A→B (charging the B party for a call from A)
One Originating_CDIV (or Forwarding) for B→C (charging the B party for a call to C)
One Terminating for B→C (charging the C party for a call from B)
In the Terminating case — typically if the B party is not roaming — then the B party is often not charged.
In order to disable Online Charging for the B-party’s Terminating Instance (for example, when not roaming), you can:
return the Online Charging System “credit control not applicable”, or
disable the Sentinel Session Plan Online Charging (in the terminating and not-roaming case) or
both of the above approaches.
All instances within a network can be tied to the same “real world session” through the IMS Charging Identifier (ICID).
Under the SIP protocol, media streams may be added and removed, as well as having their codecs changed.
When codecs change, Sentinel may consult its SDP codec configuration to determine if the change was a “meaningful” change from a charging perspective.
If a change is deemed meaningful, then Sentinel will perform client initiated re-authorization towards the Online Charging System.
If a change is not meaningful, then the current credit reservation remains.
Below is a screen showing Sentinel VoLTE’s default codec configuration:
Codecs in the same equivalence class are treated as “equivalent” from a charging perspective; so changes between codecs in the same class do not cause client-initiated re-authorization.
The table in the image above can be found by navigating through REM to Management ▶ Profiles and scrolling to select “SdpMediaCodecProfileTable”. This table can be edited, and new codecs and equivalence classes introduced.
For more about Sentinel and its various capabilities, including charging, see Sentinel Overview and Concepts. |
Sentinel VoLTE has support for allowing sessions to terminate in WiFi networks (Voice over WiFi). When a session is answered,
the Terminating Access Domain Selection (T-ADS) Features
on the SCC AS will analyse the response to determine the type of network that the call is terminating in. Once the network
type has been determined, the T-ADS features will attach a proprietary header to the response before forwarding it
upstream. This header is called the OC-Terminating-Domain Header,
and when a session is answered over a WiFi network, the header will be given the value PS=WLAN
When Sentinel VoLTE is configured to use online charging this header will be consumed at the MMTel AS serving the terminating user.
A feature on the MMTel AS called MMTelWifiChargingFinalisation
will read the header and, if the value matches PS=WLAN
, the feature will issue an instruction to any active online charging instances to
finalise charging for the terminating user, before stripping the header from the upstream forwarded response. When Sentinel
VoLTE is not configured to use online charging, the header will not be stripped by the MMTel AS. This allows it to be
read by upstream charging functions.
The IM-SSF contains support for the OC-Terminating-Domain header.
It terminates the IN dialog towards the Prepaid SCP if it is processing a terminating session, and the terminating 2xx response to the INVITE contains the OC-Terminating-Domain header with value PS=WLAN
In this case it strips the header before forwarding the 2xx response upstream.
The Rf Control Resource Adaptor allows VoLTE to persist offline charging information in the Charging Data Function (CDF). The principle is the same as writing a CDR, but instead of storing the information in a local disk, the Call Detail Records are sent via Diameter Rf interface to any CDF connected.
The AVPs that are populated on the Diameter Rf interface are documented on the Rf Interface AVPs section of the Sentinel VoLTE Administration guide.
For more information on Rf Control Resource Adaptor see Rf Control Resource Adaptor Architecture.
The AVPs that are populated on the Diameter Ro interface are documented on the Ro Interface AVPs section of the Sentinel VoLTE Administration guide.
When configured for both online and offline charging, it may be desirable to allow sessions to proceed when there is a communications outage with the OCS.
This can be achieved using the procedure at Fault Tolerant Online Charging.
Note that when configured this way, conference calls will still fail when the OCS connection fails or times out mid-session, and there will be no CCR-T for calls that experience an outage. | <urn:uuid:aeb76b0a-75b8-4021-b198-1902f695e1e2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://docs.rhino.metaswitch.com/ocdoc/books/sentinel-volte-documentation/4.0.0/sentinel-volte-architecture/charging-support.html#charging-over-diameter-rf-interface | 2024-04-24T03:52:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.883801 | 1,392 |
Get Code execution information with Code Coverage
The Code Coverage is a profiling tool used to determine the coverage details of Tizen native applications. The Code Coverage tool finds the parts of the code covered during the execution of the unit test cases. A program with high code coverage (measured in percentage) implies that most of the source code is covered during testing and the source code has a lower chance of containing undetected software bugs.
The Code Coverage tool is based on the llvm-cov tool. Using the Code Coverage tool, you can detect parts of code that are not covered by a unit test and ensure that the uncovered code does not cause errors at runtime. The Code Coverage tool supports functional, statement, and branch coverage.
Use Unit Test and Code Coverage
NoteBefore you run the Unit Test and Code Coverage:
- Make sure that you have an emulator or a connected target device running.
- If you want to try out the tool and do not have an applicable project to test, create a project with the Project Wizard using a template or sample. For more information on creating a project, see Creating Your First Tizen Mobile Native Application.
- Add a Unit Test project to the newly created template or sample. For more information on adding Unit Test project, see Building Unit Test Projects.
To use the Unit Test and Code Coverage tool:
In the Project Explorer view, right-click the Unit Test project and select Run As > Tizen Native Unit Test and Coverage.
All the unit tests present in the Unit Test project are executed and coverage is determined based on the code covered by the unit tests:
After the Unit Test project completes its execution, Tizen Studio displays the code coverage information in the editor. The Unit Test Result and Code Coverage views provide a summary of the unit test results and code coverage percentage for each file.
The code covered during the test execution has a green highlight and the uncovered code has a red highlight as shown in the following figures:
Figure: Covered code highlighted with green and uncovered code with red
Figure: Detailed view of Code Coverage
Each row of the Code Coverage view can be expanded to view the function level coverage information as shown in the following figure:
Figure: Code Coverage result on a function level
The Unit Test results are shown in Native Unit Test Result view as shown in the following figure:
Figure: Unit Test Result
Generate HTML Code Coverage report
To Enable HTML code coverage report generation:
Enable the checkbox option Enable HTML Report generation when code coverage is run from menu Window > Preferences > Tizen Studio > Code Coverage as shown in the following figure:
To annotate the source files when opened from Project Explorer, select the checkbox Enable annotation when source files are opened in the preferences dialog box.
Run the Code coverage again by following the steps mentioned in previous section. After the execution completes, the HTML reports are generated under <Unit_test_project_path>/Coverage_Report/Html_Report, where <Unit_test_project_path> is the path where the Unit Test project is created:
Open the index.html page in the browser to view the Code Coverage:
Click on any of the projects to get the coverage at file level:

Avoid exposing the probe to chemicals for unnecessarily long periods of time. Do not immerse the probe in a chemical, and wipe chemicals off the probe after exposure. |
You can use mild cleaning agents, such as isopropanol, to wipe the probe body. Avoid exposing the filter to chemicals.
The probe does not withstand DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide C2H6OS).
After exposing the probe to chemicals, it is recommended to perform a sensor purge. | <urn:uuid:b67affb0-d1c4-4a33-b37a-fd85dce30f72> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://docs.vaisala.com/r/M211972EN-G/en-US/GUID-5E0008F9-625D-4707-9942-FF63D1B9FC83/GUID-5AA5A2C3-693C-4B3A-978D-82F619B13EA5 | 2024-04-24T03:34:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.913863 | 99 |

When you’re striving to get into shape, you’ll consider almost any purchase if it helps you to reach your goal. Even something as superfluous as a treadmill.How on earth can you justify buying a machine that offers exactly what you could get by going outside? (For free!) Because running at the gym sucks. Those bright lights, the crowd of members heck, if you wanted an audience while clocking miles, it’d be easy enough to join a 5k, right? Exactly.But hey, not everyone shopping for a treadmill is deathly afraid of wearing spandex in public.
Maybe you’re training. Maybe you’re just looking to stay fit. Perhaps you’re even recovering from an injury. While everyone has a different reason for wanting a treadmill at home, anyone shopping for one has something in common:You want to buy the right machine for you. It’ll just end up in the corner, dust, clothes draped over the grip bars, silently mocking your lack of use.Have no fear.
Over the next few paragraphs, we’ll break down the pros and cons of the most popular manual treadmill models so that you can be absolutely confident in your purchasing decision, starting with First Treadmill Purchase? Try a Manual Treadmill Machine! Quality and effective motorized treadmills don’t come cheap. A basic-but-decent motorized treadmill starts at $1000–and that’s scraping the bottom. On top of their steep price, motorized treadmills are super bulky, with a base footprint large enough to disrupt any room.These state of the art machines feature multiple speed options, pre-set workout programs, speakers and TVs, cooling fans, fancy LED lights, variable inclines and built-in cocktail bars where you can hang out with other sweaty sophisticates once you’re done working out (note: that last part may be made up).But do you really need all of those bells and whistles? Haven’t humans been walking since – well, forever? Shouldn’t losing a few pounds require losing a fewer dollars?To answer these rhetorical questions in their original order, no, yes and yes.
You can get a far more basic treadmill that will still help you to burn calories at home without taking up half your living space and costing more than your first car. You just need to think outside of the flashing, blinking, electrically-powered box. The difference between a manual and motorized treadmill comes down to the motor. Manual treadmills, on the other hand, don’t have a bulky motor to the house. That’s because these treadmills don’t depend on a motor to move the belt. Instead, each step the user takes pushes the belt backward, creating action (Just think of it, like a hamster on a wheel concept).On the upside, manual treadmills can help you burn a few more calories (beings as you’re pushing the belt with every step). The best thing about these treadmills is that they do not require electricity, giving you the ease of access and movability to every part of your home.So if you have a garage that isn’t wired for power or even a garden shed without electricity, you can place a manual treadmill out of the way and use it without having to plug in.
You’re not just improving your body. You’re saving the earth too. Therefore, manual treadmills while in no doubt are less advanced than their automated cousins, they provide certain benefits that you cannot find on the automated treadmills.The lack of engine allows a significant decrease in size. Heck, they are lightweight and occupy less space. Furthermore, many can even be folded up for storage after use! Plus, the absence of expensive electronic parts means that manual treadmills are significantly less expensive–from one-third to one-fifth the price of motorized treadmills.How much cheaper? We’re talking under $200 for some manual treadmill models.
“Sounds awesome, right!”. Before you get your credit card out, hold onto your horses, because there are a few points to know before you buy. Drawbacks of Manual TreadmillsTheir unobtrusive footprint and drastically lower price points are why we recommend manual treadmills for first-time buyers. But, before you start shopping, it’s important to understand that there are a few differences between manual treadmills and their motorized counterparts. Many of the “cons” regarding manual treadmills focus on their lack of motor. “Doesn’t that just make sure you burn MORE calories?” you might very well ask.Well, sure!
However, manually moving the belt comes with a few unexpected quirks. Here are few drawbacks of manual treadmills:. Manual Treadmills Are Risky For Anyone With Weak JointsBecause the belt is put into motion through the user’s effort, you can only go as fast as you push. For that reason, manual treadmills can be tough on knees and ankles.
In short, they’re not a great choice if you’ve got knee or hip arthritis or an Achilles heel (or any bum joint) that could be irritated by the additional effort. Manual Treadmills Aren’t Optimal for Sprint TrainingMaybe you’ve read the studies that claim to sprint in short bursts –not long periods of jogging–is best for your cardiovascular health. Or, perhaps you just enjoy pain. (Seriously, sprinting is AWFUL.) Either way, if your workout routine relies on a motorized treadmill to keep pace while you time just try your best to keep up, a manual treadmill won’t fit your needs. Manual Treadmills Don’t Offer Hi-tech FeaturesIt’s not just the base of manual treadmills that’s no-frills basic, they generally lack built-in workouts, apps, and other advanced features that can help you to push past your previous records. Now, if you have resources such as apps and online treadmill workout plans to vary your workout, this probably won’t worry you.
However, most of the manual treadmill users rely on the machines simple battery-powered display for the speed, time elapsed, calories burned and distance updates — overcoming that big complicated console of the motorized treadmill with numerous unnecessary functions can be unbelievably satisfying!In short, manual treadmills are the epitome of do-it-yourself. Like riding a bike to commute in lieu of driving, these human-powered machines require a commitment in a way their automated counterparts don’t.Think you can deal with those three points to save (a minimum of) one grand? Awesome!Below are reviews of the top five manual treadmills on the market–complete that go beyond specs to include the brand’s reputation and real-life experiences with each product.Top Compact Treadmills Include. Best Manual Treadmills – Top Picks of 2019Here is the list of top picks for best manual treadmills by Treadmill Review Guru – Let’s go for treading.
1.Look at that. The manufacturer of this treadmill is so proud of the multiple flywheels that they put it right in the name of the machine so that you don’t miss it. All joking aside, the ProGear 190 Manual Treadmill delivers everything you need, without weighing you down with features you don’t. Despite being available at a little more than a hundred dollars price, it provides you with two different incline positions, which is almost impossible to find on other treadmills at such a cheaper price. For this reason alone, the ProGear 190 Manual Treadmill is a great buy. About Brand:“ProGear” is a fairly popular brand name, It is a subsidiary of Paradigm Health & Wellness, Inc. headquartered in Southern California in the United States of America.
ProGear 190 weighs only 49 lbs and can support weight only up to 230 lbs at most, which is quite low as compared to its predecessors. The users who are even approaching that size may have concerns about the stability of this treadmill.We would like to tell you that the powder-coated metal frame isn’t as sturdy as it looks, and if you weigh close to 200 lbs or above, we are not entirely confident that this treadmill can stand up to long-term usage. Especially if you intend to run. Still, that probably won’t be an issue, since the 13 ¼” W x 43” L tread belt is too short to allow any but the smallest of people to get a full running stride.Lastly, this treadmill comes with “1 Year Limited Warranty” as indicated on the manufacturer’s website (Paradigm Health & Wellness).
Very simplistic LCD display powered by 2 AA batteries (batteries included) to help you track your fitness progress in terms of speed, distance walked, elapsed time and calories burned. 2 different manually adjustable incline settings (6 and 12 degrees) so that you can customize your workout intensity. Over-sized belt rollers in order to ensure a quiet, smooth and jerk free, gliding motion during the workout sessions. WhisperQuiet design reduces the noise of each step ensuring noiseless and uninterrupted workout sessions so that you don’t wake up the household. The ProGear gets high marks for the smoothness of its belt, portability, variable incline, low maintenance and of course price.
It’s a one-in-all package that you can have with all necessary basic features except the low weight limit and narrow tread area. If you are overweight or in need of a little more challenge, you must reconsider your choice for ProGear 190, but if that’s not the case then this treadmill could be all you need, and at a price that’s going to be very hard to beat. Furthermore, this treadmill defines the whole bang for the buck and is basically a win-win, for your pocket and fat. 2.Exerpeutic is a respected brand in the treadmill market, and this manual treadmill shows why with its solid build quality and an array of features. If you are looking for a manual treadmill that has the working quite similar to well build motorized treadmill, the Exerpeutic 100XL high capacity manual treadmill may just be the right buy for you. About Brand:Exerpeutic is also a subsidiary of Paradigm Health & Wellness, Inc.–a 10-year-old brand based in California. More importantly, Paradigm Health & Wellness, Inc. Hold an A+ BBB rating.
(Note: This rating is based, not just on positive reviews, but also on the company’s response to poor ones.)What does that mean to you? Well, according to multiple reviews, ordering replacement parts from Paradigm is a breeze.
Bonus: We hear their customer service rocks.So, What’s the Exerpeutic 100XL High Capacity Magnetic Resistance Manual Treadmill Really Like?Right off the bat, you can tell that the Exerpeutic 100XL manual treadmill is made to accommodate heavy individuals. Well, this treadmill is bigger than many other manual models, a 45-inch tread area and reinforced steel frame makes the 100XL capable of supporting big guys who weigh up to 325 lbs, which is more than most of its competitors.Walking feels more natural on the Exerpeutic longer, wider belt. In addition to a roomier belt, you will appreciate the Exerpeutic 100XL’s extra long safety handles which are 20″ long to provide better and stronger grip for balance and safety. These handles have built-in heart rate sensors utilizing which you can keep track of your target heart rates.What’s the best about this treadmill is the presence of two 6” diameter flywheels, which provide a quieter, smoother, more consistent workout experience as compared to single flywheel manual treadmills, allowing you to work your way to your ideal fitness body.The dimensions of 100XL are 50″ L x 29″ W x 50″ H and weighs 73 pounds. It comes with a space saving design, and can easily be folded and stored after you are done with your workout session.
When folded the treadmill measures 35″ L x 29″ W x 61″ H which makes it an ideal choice for people not having much space.Exerpeutic 100XL features three manually adjustable incline positions – 8, 10 and 15 degrees. These can be easily adjusted with the help of adjustable quick-release under the runway, allowing for more variety in workouts. Plus, this treadmill has an eight-level magnetic tension ‘Pacer Control’ which provides different levels of difficulty and is a great feature to have. The truth about exercise is that you get better at it, and need to increase the intensity level over time if you want to keep seeing improvements. This is a treadmill that can keep up as you get fitter and continue to offer a challenge over time. The 100XL is a manual treadmill that seems to have it all. But there are some drawbacks, too.
First of all, there is no space for tablet holder, cup holder or water bottle holder though there is a small storage area present on the console, large enough for perhaps a TV remote, MP3 player, wallet, keys or similar item.Also, on inspection, our testers over 6 feet found the tread area which the company claim is bigger than most other manual treadmills still too short to accommodate a normal running stride. So, if you 6 feet tall or close to it and running is something you’re interested in, we would recommend you to do some research and test out the Exerpeutic 100XL High Capacity before making a purchase.Lastly, this treadmill can be seen with a 3 years limited warranty. Exerpeutic 100XL manual treadmill may seem more expensive than most other manual treadmills but it provides certain advanced features similar to an electric treadmills without the consumption of electricity. The short belt area makes it impossible for people above 6’ tall to run on this treadmill but it’s an issue that you are going to find on almost every other manual treadmill. This treadmill is certainly a very good deal, especially for heavier users in terms of durability, performance, features, and stability. Furthermore, the 3 different incline options and pretty good warranty policy urges us to recommend this treadmill to people.

3.Stamina InMotion manual treadmill is most definitely on the lower end of the manual treadmill market. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t have anything to offer besides an attractive price. This treadmill could actually surprise you with its cheap price and amazing features.
It has been around many years and is also one of the most popular manual treadmills, especially among beginners. It’s the best choice for anyone who wants to have a workout companion at their small home that could be stored easily and pull out to do the walking and jogging (and truth be told, watch some Netflix at the same time).

Focuses on creating innovative and affordable fitness equipment for the home gym. The company was founded back in 1987 and they have been accredited with the BBB since 1991.With more than 30 years in business, they hold an A+ BBB rating.
Their exercise equipment are sold by multiple major retailers like Walmart, Amazon, and QVC, just to name a few. So, all in all, finding the replacement parts shouldn’t be a big headache!The treadmill’s quietness, compact size, lightweight, variable incline, and portability are the super-hot features behind it’s growing popularity. Stamina InMotion overall dimension are 47″ L x 22″ W x 45″ H, making it perfect for people with limited workout space. You won’t be running on this treadmill, though. The track is only 12⅜ inches wide and 41 inches long, making it more suitable for walking, or light jogging at best. Speaking of light, this treadmill is rated only for users of 220 lbs or below.We would not recommend this treadmill to anyone above 180 lbs as it won’t seem very stable. If you’re on the bigger side, the small size and build quality of this machine may become concerning. But small isn’t always bad.
With its ability to fold up for storage to a compact footprint of just 17″ L x 22″ W and light weight of only 50 lbs, this is a great machine to store in a closet, under the bed or against the wall after use.Lastly, it comes with 1 – year frame warranty while the other parts and other components are covered for 90 days warranty. Basic battery-operated (2 AA batteries included) electronic monitor to help track your workout performance such as time passed, distance traveled and calories burned. 2 different position manual inclination options (8 and 10 degrees) to let you burn more calories within the same distance and without increasing speed. Textured, non-slip walking track to prevent any foot slippage when exercising for optimal safety. Skid-resistant rubber floor protectors to ensure stability during intense workouts. There is no product in the market which is almost 100% perfect. Whether the Stamina InMotion is the right manual treadmill for you or not just depends upon your needs. It’s not advised for heavier people, or for runners, due to its small size and low weight capacity. But if you just want a small and easy to use treadmill for a great cardiovascular workout at home irrespective of the extreme weather outside, this could be a great option.
To put it in a nutshell, the Stamina InMotion T900 Manual Treadmill is not much great, but delivers everything you could expect from a piece of non-motorized exercise equipment to meet your daily fitness demands that too without breaking the bank! 4.The Confidence Fitness Magnetic Manual Treadmill is a budget-friendly treadmill with almost zero bells and whistles to mention but it still delivers an efficient workout experience. It is a very simple machine which takes low profile nature to a whole new different level. It’s a great choice for anyone looking for a starter manual treadmill, especially if space and noise are significant concerns. Let’s find out more.
About Brand:There is no information regarding the Confidence Treadmill brand. However, Confidence products are sold on Amazon and at Walmart both in-store and online. On the negative side, you may experience some problem the belt fitting correctly at the beginning (A bit stiff belt!). It’s relatively simple to fix with some adjustment and the help of a little lubricant, but it is something you should be aware of before purchasing.Also, the lack of inclination adjustment is a problem. The incline on this treadmill is set to 5 degrees, which is fairly manageable for most people. But over time, as your body adjusts and, hopefully, your fitness level improves, this may not be enough to keep challenging you during workouts. If you are the one who prefers variety in incline angles, then this treadmill won’t serve you well.Lastly, It comes with a 1 – year warranty from the manufacturer, so you can purchase it with confidence.
Progress metrics LED display powered by 2 AA batteries to provide you with your workout progress in terms of speed, distance covered, time elapsed and calories burned. As the main part of maintaining an exercise regimen is seeing yourself making progress, so this feature is definitely one worth having. Simple locking pin mechanism to securely lock the deck in a vertical position for convenient cleaning and storage. Magnetic resistance with 8 adjustable levels provides you with different levels of workout intensity to best suit your desired workout needs. Noise reduction technology allows it to operate quietly without creating any disturbance, thus keep you focused on your fitness goals. While Confidence Fitness Magnetic manual treadmill has little flaws like fixed incline, and being not suitable for running, it provides an excellent value for your money with its 8 level magnetic resistance, compact size, and noiseless operations. Best of all, this solid and reliable treadmill is extremely affordable and easy to use.
If you are a newbie, looking to dip a toe into the treadmill market, the Confidence Manual Treadmill could be the perfect entry-level treadmill for you to undertake consistent daily cardio at home. 5.As the phoenix rises from the ashes, the Phoenix 98510 easy-up manual treadmill will give you an experience of getting burned and coming forth stronger than ever. The treadmill aims to make indoor exercise appealing and affordable.
In addition, it is lightweight and has a small footprint which makes it highly suitable for people with the small home/ apartment. About Brand:Let’s start with the basics: Phoenix is a brand of exercise equipment that you can find at Kmart, Walmart, Amazon, and Sears. Despite the brand’s multiple retailers, we are unable to locate a presence with the BBB. That lack of presence isn’t totally abnormal–there are plenty of brands that stick to the supply game.
(As opposed to going down the expensive road of building a reputation.)All that means is that replacement parts are difficult to find several years out. However, at a price below 200$, you might not even bother.So, What’s the Phoenix 98510 Easy-Up Manual Treadmill Really Like?Our first impression of the Phoenix 98510 was that it’s relatively easy to assemble, and feels sturdy for its compact frame. Once assembled, we were ready to hop on.
However, there was a little concern that the lack of a motor would mean an extra-strenuous workout.But, due to the presence of heavy-duty flywheel getting started was no trouble and we found that the belt’s action was almost too quick–the exact opposite of what we worried.Using the Phoenix 98510 is straightforward–you hop on and walk. However, like most manual treadmills, this model is designed at an angle. The incline makes it a tad easier to gain momentum. However, there’s no sugarcoating it: A roughly 12.0-degree incline will light a fire in your calves, while the lack of ability to adjust the pitch means you’re endlessly walking uphill. (Well, incline can be adjusted, but only by propping up the back of the machine to make the belt level.).This treadmill has a folding design and weighs only 45 pounds, so it was quite easy to move it around, and fold for safe and efficient storage. Once folded up, it stands vertically and could be stored in a decent-sized closet so that you don’t have to look at a piece of exercise equipment all the time. As very few of us actually want to live in a gym.Phoenix 98510 also features a water bottle holder for holding the water bottle and a small tray which is sufficient enough to hold your valuable items like smartphone, MP3 player or wallet too.
Hence, you do not need to worry about losing/ dropping your stuff and can easily keep yourself hydrated while working out. The Easy-Up is not without problems.
Although it’s solidly made and surprisingly robust for its size and price, the belt area (13″ W x 41″ L) of Phoenix 98510 is very small, our testers over 6 feet also found the treadmill’s handrails to be uncomfortably low. Therefore, we do not recommend this treadmill for people having a height above 5 ft 7”.
Although you must keep in mind, you get what you pay for. The larger and wider the treadbelt the more expensive the treadmill.The dimensions of Phoenix 98510 are 46.5″ L x 21.1″ W x 50″ H. Not being too much spacious, but this makes it highly suitable for people who live in a small home/ apartment. This is an excellent treadmill for walking or even jogging, but for actual running, you may need something bigger to accommodate a full running stride.Lastly, this treadmill comes with a 1 – year warranty for frame and 90 days warranty for parts. The affordable price, portability, small size and ease of set-up, all make this treadmill very popular, but the inability to adjust the incline and the shortness of the belt may irritate some users. Despite these caveats, the Phoenix is a great treadmill for those with limited space.
The ease of storage and set up makes this treadmill a winner for smaller homes and apartments. It’s a great way for those who aren’t sure if a treadmill is a worthwhile purchase to try it out at a reasonably low price. Which Manual Treadmill is Right For You?The five models of manual treadmills that we listed are available within the same price range, and come with relatively similar features. So, how do you know which treadmill is right for you? Best Manual Treadmill for Low Budget!. The ProGear 190 is most definitely one of the most affordable treadmills out there. But don’t make the mistake of thinking that it must, therefore, be inferior to the others. With a variable incline and the smoothness that comes from using twin flywheels, this is a quality treadmill for a very low price.
If the ProGear 190 supplies you with all the necessary basic features that you may need then why spend more than you have to?Best Manual Treadmill for Tall or Heavy Users. Without a doubt, this is one of the best treadmills for anyone even slightly above the average height and weight range. With its extra-large walking surface and steel frame, the Exerpeutic promises to be a smooth ride. Plus, that three-year warranty adds an extra dose of confidence that their product isn’t going to wimp out before you do!Best Manual Treadmills for Users with Knee and Hip ProblemsBecause manual treadmills rely on your movement to keep that belt in motion, using one can be a little hard on hips and knees. Add to that the dramatic incline seen on some of these manual treadmill models, and it’s easy to imagine the possibility for injury.That’s why we recommend one of the following to users with any knee or hip problems:.
This treadmill offers the lowest incline of any of the above models at only 5%. However, you can relieve the incline of any model by simply butting a board underneath the back of two legs to even the walking surface out. The incredibly smooth action delivered by the treadmill’s over-sized rollers with the lowest incline setting at 6 degrees offers the most relief to knees and hips.Best Manual Treadmills for Experienced Walkers/ Joggers.
The Law of Dimishing Returns is a real thing. The more you exercise, the better you get at exercising, and the harder you need to work to maintain your increasingly fit body. For more experienced walkers and joggers, this treadmill offers a steep incline that adds difficulty to your workout. An incline of 8% or 10% will really get your heart pumping and help you shed those pounds.
Fast downloader for windows 7. Remember: the harder you work, the better that bathing suit is going to look on you. With the steepest incline of any of the treadmills on this list, the Phoenix offers a real challenge for more experienced joggers. 12% is quite a hill to climb, but you’ll feel like a champion when you make it up there. Don’t forget to wave to us little people from your lofty perch.
If you need more of a challenge than the other treadmills on this list can offer, give the Phoenix a try.The All-Around Best Deal?After comparing the five most popular manual treadmill models, the ProGear 190 Manual Treadmill gets our top pick. Because the brand has been around for so long and also has shown to be super responsive to customer concerns, we feel confident that getting in touch with ProGear to resolve an issue or find replacement parts would be a relative breeze.In addition, the ProGear 190 Manual Treadmill low price, powder-coated steel frame, roomy design, smooth gliding belt give an overall feeling of great quality while offering exceptional convenience and ease of use. Benefits Of Using A Manual TreadmillManual treadmills lack motors, and also they do not have extended features such as pre-programmed workouts and cool lighting. This makes them seem like a lesser version of their electric cousins. But that’s not necessarily the case. Depending on your needs, a manual treadmill could be a far better choice for you than a hulking electrical model.
Let’s think about some of the benefits of manual treadmills:. PriceLet’s start with the obvious. Thanks to the fact that they don’t have an expensive motor, manual treadmills are far less expensive than electrical ones. Particularly for those just starting out on the path to better health who aren’t sure if they’ll use their treadmill enough to justify the expense, this can make all the difference. NoiseElectric treadmills can be surprisingly loud when in use. By doing without a motor, manual treadmills cut out a lot of the noise associated with the motion of the machine. This makes them a far better option for shared houses or apartments.
Do you really want the guy downstairs throwing a fit every time you try to get some exercise in? No, you don’t. SizeWithout a heavier motor attached, manual treadmills can be far smaller than the electrical version.
While this can make them less suitable for running, it also makes them far more convenient to keep at home.Most of us are not lucky enough to be able to dedicate an entire room to use as a home gym. The chances are good that your treadmill will have to live in a spare bedroom, a laundry room or even your living room.
If that’s the case, the smaller your treadmill is, the better. PortabilityThe smaller the treadmill, the lighter it is. Manual treadmills can often be carried or rolled away when not in use, allowing them to be stored out of sight in a closet. This is an advantage you’re not going to get with an electrical machine, some of which weigh hundreds of pounds.The easier a treadmill is to use, transport and store, the more likely you are to use it regularly. As we all know, that’s the key to achieving long-term health goals. Don’t make it harder on yourself than it needs to be. SafetyWith a manual treadmill, you provide the power that moves the belt.
When you stop moving, so does the belt. So you’re never going to be thrown off a racing machine like a flea thrown off a shaking dog.It does mean you won’t be able to make any hilarious treadmill-themed YouTube videos, though. If that was why you really wanted a treadmill, a manual probably isn’t for you! ConclusionWe, humans, are basically lazy creatures.
Our big brains allow us to come up with all sorts of reasons why we can’t do the things we don’t want to. Every labor-saving miracle of technology out there owes its existence to the brave pioneers who stood up one day and loudly proclaimed, “I don’t wanna!”Now that we no longer chase down antelopes for dinner, though, things have changed. More and more of us spend our working day at a desk, with all the detrimental health concerns that entail. Deliberate exercise is how we fight against our ever-expanding waistlines and try not to degenerate into lumps of vaguely people-colored jelly.In the war on the waistline, a treadmill is a valuable tool.
Having an exercise machine at home makes it much more likely that you will actually get off the sofa and crack a sweat.And manual treadmills offer several benefits to the home user. Their small size and ease of storage mean you don’t have to turn your home into a gym.
The fact that they use no electricity helps to keep your bills down and means that you aren’t forced to put your treadmill in a place that has access to power. The quietness of their operation means less disturbance for the people you share a space with. These simple machines can fit easily into your life in a way more complex options may not.If you’re shopping for a treadmill, good for you. Don’t assume that you need to spend a lot of money to get the results you want.
And don’t automatically discount manual treadmills just because they don’t look like the beefy machines they have at the gym. A smaller, sleeker, simpler machine could be the perfect fit for you. And so could your favorite pants, if you spend a little more time on the treadmill. | <urn:uuid:e0a15cc3-42ab-4bb0-9861-0fed1ec28729> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dollarnowbot.netlify.app/canon-ws-1200h-manual-treadmill | 2024-04-24T02:19:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.942328 | 7,079 |

Collin County Vehicle Registration Renewals Made Easy
As a resident of Collin County, TX, you have specific requirements to meet in order to get your vehicle renewed. The process can be tedious and requires several documents and payment. Rather than attempt to handle your yourself, you can let DoNotPay help you through the process. It’s the fastest, easiest way.
DoNotPay vows to handle any renewals promptly, so you can rest assured your car is properly registered and to drive. Let us tackle the task, so you have one less worry on your mind.
Steps for Renewing Your Collin County Car Registration Yourself
You can renew your Collin County car registration in several ways.
To renew online, you can visit the appointed state website. Please note that this site may be temporarily unavailable at inconsistent times. It goes down when there is a high volume of people attempting to visit the site or when maintenance is scheduled.
If the site allows you access, simply follow the prompts on the screen and answer the questions. You'll have to pay via a debit or credit card and will need the information from your renewal notice to get it handled correctly.
To begin, you must enter your license plate number and the last four digits of your VIN. Without these details, you cannot go through with the online process.
If you desire, you can send your renewal and money order via mail. You must send it to the Collin County tax office. The address is P.O. Box 8006 McKinney, TX 75070. You need to make sure your envelope includes the correct postage. Be sure to also have all of the correct documents and information inside, including:
- The county's portion of the renewal notice you received (Keep the owner's portion for your records.)
- Your vehicle inspection report
- Proof of current insurance (No-fault insurance is not acceptable.)
- Payment for all associated fees
At a Designated Business
Collin County also has several designated businesses where you can renew your registration in person. You can apply for your renewal at the county's tax assessor office or a subcontractor or store that offers these services. The Collin County businesses where you can renew include:
- AAA in Frisco, Plano, and Allen
- Fiesta Mart #59 in Plano, TX
- Tom Thumb
How Will I Know It's Time to Renew?
Generally, you need to renew one year after you initially registered the vehicle after you purchased or acquired the car, truck, motorcycle, or trailer. Then, you'll continue to renew each year after.
However, Collin County sends out renewal notices to its residents. You should receive a notice in the mail informing you that your renewal date is coming up soon, which helps if you can't remember it.
How Much Will My Collin County Car Registration Cost Me?
A vehicle registration fee varies widely. The final price is determined by several factors, including:
- The type of vehicle you have
- The age of your vehicle
- Whether or not you received a penalty for late renewal
- If you are requesting a new plate
This table indicates some of the associated costs you will see on your renewal. Note that additional fees may apply for credit card processing and the plates you choose.
Vehicle Type | Vehicle Age | Fees |
Motorcycle | Any Age | $52.50 registration + $7.50 inspection |
Trailers | Any Age/Weight | $57.50 registration + $7.40 inspection if over 4,500 lbs |
Passenger Vehicles/Light Trucks | 1995 and older | $65.25 registration + $8.25 inspection |
Passenger Vehicles/Light Trucks | 1996 and newer | $65.25 registration + $14.95 inspection |
Additional vehicles not mentioned here, such as those with a gross weight totaling more than 6,000 pounds, will have additional costs.
Typical Renewal Dates and Time Frame
You typically need to renew your Collin County vehicle registration every year. Once a year, you pay a fee to get your plates renewed, so your car is to drive in the state of Texas. You should receive something in the mail indicating your renewal date at least a few weeks or more before the date to give you time to handle it.
What Might Stop My Renewal?
There are some factors that will prohibit your from going through. If you do not have all of the necessary documents and information, for example, you will be asked to gather it and try renewing again once you have it.
You also will not be allowed to renew if you have too many unpaid toll tickets. If you have 100 or more unpaid tolls, then you cannot renew until they are paid off. You also must pass a vehicle inspection and have proper vehicle insurance.
Allow DoNotPay to Renew Your Collin County Vehicle Registration for You
Rather than attempt to complete your on your own, allow DoNotPay to do it for you. We'll make sure the process is handled promptly, so you don't have to worry about a thing.

DORAL, FL – The IRS announced in a statement that this week some people will see their stimulus payment on their bank accounts or mails.
Eligible Americans that are still waiting for the payments, contemplated under the 1.9 trillion American Rescue plan signed into law by President Joe Biden on March 11, will either receive a paper check in a white envelope from the U.S. Treasury Department, a prepaid debit card or will see the payment through a direct deposit, which is the case for the vast majority of people.
“A large number of this latest batch of payments will also be mailed, so taxpayers who do not receive a direct deposit by March 24 should watch the mail carefully in the coming weeks for a paper check or a prepaid debit card, known as an Economic Impact Payment Card, or EIP Card,” the IRS says as reported by the Miami Herald.
The cards, according to the report, can be used online, in stores that take Visa debit cards or at ATMs. Also, card holders can transfer the money into a personal bank account.
“The card has the Visa name on the front and the issuing bank, MetaBank, N.A. on the back…Information included with the card will explain that this is an Economic Impact Payment,” the IRS says.
And why some people haven’t received the stimulus payment yet? According to the IRS, those who had already provided their bank account information were the first ones to get the payment. But rest assured, all eligible Americans will sooner or later see the money in the coming weeks.
“The IRS continues to send the third round of stimulus payments in record time…Since this new set of payments will include more mailed payments, we urge people to carefully watch their mail for a check or debit card in the coming weeks,” said IRS Commissioner Chuck Retting in a statement, according to the Miami Herald.
To know the status of your payment, use the IRS’s tool “Get My Payment“. | <urn:uuid:a1ea7ee8-6eda-448b-a488-c59b74dd18c8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://doralfamilyjournal.com/still-no-sign-of-the-1400-stimulus-payment-you-could-receive-it-this-week/ | 2024-04-24T02:08:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.966695 | 418 |
Here is his my friend Tom Gardner, and his story enjoy.
“Hi there, my name is Tom Gardner, and I live in Plymouth, UK. I like Dorsey Ross was also born with Apert Syndrome. I have known Dorsey for a while now and had the pleasure of meeting him in New York during May 2017. It was fantastic to meet the man in person finally and to share our experiences and stories of what we have gone through during our lives. Here in my hometown of Plymouth, I have a passion for the countryside and spend all my free time hiking, horseback riding, swimming, and taking photographs of nature. I am currently self-employed and run my own Gardening business. I thoroughly enjoy my job, and love being out in all weathers, including the rain (typical British weather).
However, despite living and working here in the UK, I have an ultimate dream of moving to America.
I ideally would love to move to Oregon, as I love hiking, and also climbing from time to time. I hope that within ten years time I can fulfill this dream and start my own gardening business stateside. I feel that I would love to make this move simply because I have worked, and lived in the States before, and as a Christian feel that living in a State like Oregon would be a place I could call home. During this time, I would also like to meet someone hopefully and even start a family of my own. This is my secret penultimate dream, which I hope that one day will come true. I think about this quite a lot, and work hard so that I will be able to support my future family, and of course to be a fab Husband and Father.
I am writing my autobiography to tell my story, and what I have been through to get to where I am today, and to where I want to get to in life. I guess one might say I was inspired by reading Dorsey’s book “Overcomer,” which is a fantastic book, and one that I have read many times.
At the moment, I am on a mission to inspire others out there, who are also born with a disability to show that no matter what they too can achieve their dreams or goals. I am doing this simply by having Facebook chats with people born with a range of disabilities and joining various groups on Facebook that relate to this matter. I have a motto I like to believe in, which is “Wish It, Dream It, Be It.” I believe this motto fits well because if you, like me can believe in yourself, then you too can work on setting a path to achieve your dreams. I feel its vital to stick to your path in life and always to ignore any negative comments or experiences you may come across, because at the end of the day it’s your life, and nothing or nobody has the right to take away your dreams. May God bless you all..” | <urn:uuid:f86b23d3-22f9-4b62-b5f9-4cd91bfb0324> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dorseyrossministries.com/2018/10/tom-gardners-story/ | 2024-04-24T02:20:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.987461 | 611 |
Hello! Happy February!
So twice a year I hot foot it back to my home town of North London (I know it’s technically a rather large city) to attend the UKs biggest children’s wear trade show, it’s a chance to see next seasons collections from existing suppliers and find new and exciting brands that would fit with our ranges.
I actually squeeze in two trade shows (and a look around Liberty for inspiration) and here is a little round up of some of my favourite finds…Some of which might be appearing on Hey Baby shelves very soon.
First up, my absolute favourite collection, it was by Pigeon, we already stock a small range of their rompers,but what they have planned for A/W16 is simply stunning! More importantly what’s available this season….well the sweetest nautical boat print in warm greys, a seahorse print in pale pink, dove grey and yellow, featuring wrap over jackets, leggings, rompers and matching hats. All made from the softest organic cotton and is fair trade certified.
Next up is something completely different, Tobias & the Bear, a unisex brand of predominantly monochrome geometric styles, which ticks ALL my boxes! They are a refreshing modern brand who make everything in the UK, it’s non seasonal, so their leggings, tees and sweatshirts work all year round and are always in season (great if you fall in love with a rend design and need to size up)
Lastly for this round up is Dotty Dungarees, now anyone who knows me well enough, knows I LOVE dungarees, I live in them, my kids live in them, I think they are the most useful item of clothing, however…They are notoriously bad for potty training! All that faffing with buckles! Well Dotty Dungarees address this issue in a genius way, they have a zip, it runs around the crotch area and down the legs, you simply unzip the bottom instead of taking down the top! Great for nappies changes and emergency toilet trips, they can be turned up, let down, are so soft, but hard wearing enough for climbing, running, playing, and I think if you can confidentiality say one item of clothing will last a year then that alone is worth the money!
Hopefully these and many more small brands will be joining us….kept an eye out for more details | <urn:uuid:82e10279-e350-4d66-a282-e32e4c24d91f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dottydungarees.com/blogs/news/85258948-hey-baby-trade-show-round-up-dotty-dungarees-our-new-favourite-brand-february-2016 | 2024-04-24T03:56:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.957403 | 514 |
Introduction to Ranch House Floor Plans with Walkout Basements
Ranch house floor plans with walkout basements offer homeowners a unique and versatile option when it comes to designing their dream home. These floor plans are specifically designed to take advantage of sloping lots, allowing for a basement level that is partially or fully exposed to the outdoors.
One of the main benefits of choosing a ranch house floor plan with a walkout basement is the additional living space it provides. This lower level can be used for a variety of purposes, such as additional bedrooms, a home office, a recreational area, or even a separate living space for extended family or guests.
In addition to the extra living space, walkout basements also provide an opportunity to maximize natural light and outdoor views. With large windows and sliding glass doors leading to a patio or deck, homeowners can enjoy the beauty of their surroundings and create a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.
Another advantage of ranch house floor plans with walkout basements is the flexibility they offer in terms of design and layout. Homeowners have the freedom to customize the basement level to suit their specific needs and preferences. Whether it’s adding a home theater, a gym, or a hobby room, the options are endless.
Furthermore, ranch house floor plans with walkout basements are ideal for homeowners who want to age in place or have accessibility needs. With a basement level that is accessible from the outdoors, individuals with mobility limitations can navigate their homes more easily and enjoy a greater sense of independence.
Ranch house floor plans with walkout basements provide homeowners with a range of benefits, including additional living space, enhanced natural light and views, design flexibility, and accessibility. Whether you’re looking to accommodate a growing family, create a multifunctional space, or simply enjoy the beauty of your surroundings, these floor plans offer a practical and stylish solution.
Benefits of Ranch House Floor Plans with Walkout Basements
Ranch house floor plans with walkout basements offer several benefits and features that make them highly desirable for homeowners. These floor plans are designed to maximize the use of space and provide additional living areas, making them perfect for families of all sizes. Here are some of the key benefits and features of ranch house floor plans with walkout basements:
Additional Living Space: One of the major advantages of these floor plans is the additional living space they provide. The walkout basement allows for extra rooms such as bedrooms, recreational areas, home offices, or even a separate living space for extended family members. This additional space is highly valuable and can be customized to suit the specific needs and preferences of the homeowners.
Natural Light and Ventilation: Walkout basements are designed with windows and doors that allow ample natural light and ventilation to enter the space. This creates a bright and airy atmosphere, making the basement feel less like a traditional basement and more like an extension of the main living areas. The natural light also helps to reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day, resulting in energy savings.
Access to Outdoor Living: Ranch house floor plans with walkout basements provide direct access to the outdoor living areas. Homeowners can easily step out from the basement level to enjoy their backyard, patio, or garden. This seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces enhances the overall living experience and allows for various outdoor activities such as entertaining guests, gardening, or simply relaxing in the fresh air.
Increased Property Value: The inclusion of a walkout basement in a ranch house floor plan can significantly increase the property value. The extra living space and the accessibility to the outdoors are highly sought-after features that appeal to potential buyers. Whether it is for personal use or for future resale, having a walkout basement can be a lucrative investment that adds value to the property.
Flexibility in Design: Ranch house floor plans with walkout basements offer flexibility in design. Homeowners have the freedom to customize the basement space according to their needs and preferences. It can be transformed into a home gym, a home theater, a playroom for children, or even a separate living area for older family members. The versatility of the walkout basement allows for endless possibilities in design and utilization.
Design Tips for Ranch House Floor Plans with Walkout Basements
Utilize the Sloping Terrain: When designing a ranch house floor plan with a walkout basement, it’s important to take advantage of the sloping terrain. Position the house in such a way that the basement can have direct access to the outdoor space. This will not only enhance the functionality of the basement but also create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living areas.
Maximize Natural Light: Walkout basements often have limited access to natural light due to their position below ground level. To counteract this, incorporate large windows and glass doors in the design. This will not only brighten up the basement but also offer picturesque views of the surrounding landscape.
Create Open and Flexible Spaces: To make the most of the walkout basement, consider creating open and flexible spaces. This will allow for various uses such as a recreational area, home gym, or even an additional living space. By designing the basement with versatility in mind, you can easily adapt the space to suit your changing needs over time.
Design with Functionality in Mind: As with any house design, it’s important to prioritize functionality. When planning the layout of the walkout basement, consider the placement of utilities, storage areas, and any necessary mechanical systems. This will ensure that the basement remains efficient and practical for everyday use.
Incorporate Outdoor Living Spaces: Since the walkout basement provides direct access to the outdoors, consider incorporating outdoor living spaces into the design. This could include a patio, deck, or even a terrace. By seamlessly merging indoor and outdoor living areas, you can create an inviting and enjoyable space for relaxation and entertainment.
Pay Attention to Privacy: Depending on the location and surroundings of your ranch house, privacy can be a concern when designing a walkout basement. Take into account the placement of windows and outdoor spaces to ensure privacy from neighboring properties. Consider using landscaping, fencing, or window treatments to enhance privacy while still maintaining an open and inviting atmosphere.
Consider Universal Design Principles: If you plan on aging in place or accommodating individuals with mobility limitations, it’s essential to incorporate universal design principles into the floor plan. This may include wider doorways, no-step entryways, and accessible bathroom features. By designing with accessibility in mind, you can ensure that your ranch house with a walkout basement remains functional and comfortable for everyone.
Popular Ranch House Floor Plans with Walkout Basements for Inspiration
Ranch house floor plans with walkout basements have become increasingly popular in recent years, as homeowners seek to maximize their living space and take advantage of the natural beauty surrounding their homes. These unique floor plans offer a variety of benefits and can be customized to fit any lifestyle.
One popular ranch house floor plan with a walkout basement is the open-concept design. This layout features a large, open living area on the main level, with the kitchen, dining, and living room all flowing together seamlessly. The walkout basement offers additional living space, which can be used as a recreational area, home office, or even as a separate living suite for guests or family members.
Another popular option is the split bedroom floor plan. This layout separates the master suite from the other bedrooms, providing privacy and tranquility. The walkout basement can be utilized as a media room, fitness center, or even as a space for hobbies and crafts.
For those who love to entertain, a ranch house floor plan with a walkout basement can provide the perfect solution. These plans often feature a large, open kitchen with an island or breakfast bar, making it easy to prepare meals and socialize with guests.

No trip to Sydney would be complete without doing the famously beautiful Bondi to Coogee walk! If you happen to visit during late October or early November, you’ll also be treated to the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition! (24th October to 10th November for 2019.)
This annual event is the world’s largest free-to-public sculpture exhibition, and has been running since 1997. It features artwork from all over the world, displayed along the beautiful craggy coastline between Bondi Beach and Tamarama Beach.
No matter what time of year you’re in Sydney, and whether you choose to do the whole Bondi to Coogee walk or a shorter section, the route is really scenic; I’d highly recommend giving it a go.
To help plan your day, here are some helpful details on the distance, how to get there and what to expect along the way. Note that the walk is hilly in sections and open to the elements, so bring comfortable shoes, a hat, sunscreen and plenty of water. There are lots of toilets and cafes along the way, so you won’t get stuck.
Bondi to Coogee Walk: How to Get There
If you’re using public transport, you can plan your journey to the walk using the NSW travel planner. There are lots of places to eat and drink after the walk at both Bondi and Coogee beaches, as well as a few small cafes at Bronte.
Here are your approximate journey times from the city. Expect to queue for buses at Bondi Junction during Sculpture by the Sea, particularly on weekends.
City to Bondi Beach: 35 minutes on the 333 bus.
City to Bondi Junction: 10 minutes by train from Town Hall Station.
Bondi Junction to Bondi Beach: 15 minutes on the 333 bus.
Bondi Junction to Bronte Beach Terminus: 15 minutes on the 379 bus.
City to Coogee Beach: 30 minutes on the 373 bus from Museum Station or 30 minutes on the M50 bus from Central Station.
Bondi to Coogee Walk Distance
If you want to do the full Bondi to Coogee walk, the distance is about 6km. Allow at least two hours, particularly if it’s busy or you’re going to see the sculptures.
From Bondi, walk to the southern end of the beach (right if you’re facing the water) and walk up towards Bondi Icebergs (where the pool is) to get onto the track. From Coogee, head north towards the track through the reserve on the headland.
If you just want to do the shorter Bondi to Bronte walk, it’s only 2km. If you’re starting at Bronte, head north to get onto the track towards Bondi.
Bondi Beach is definitely the most famous beach in Sydney, if not Australia. If you’re new to the city, Sydney actually has over 100 beaches, so don’t think that Bondi is the most we have to offer!
There’s plenty to do at Bondi Beach, including t shops, restaurants and bars behind Campbell Parade, street art along the back of the beach, skate park, ocean pool and Bondi Markets on a Saturday. (Oh, and watching all the muscly people working out at the outdoor gym!) Once I even saw Father Christmas there, but I’ll stop showing off.
Bondi Icebergs is an iconic bistro with beautiful sweeping views from the balcony, as well as an outdoor pool. It’s a great spot for a drink or meal, and surprisingly not that expensive to eat at.
Once you head south from Bondi Beach you’ll climb up and walk around the headland at Mackenzies Point. From here there are fantastic views up and down the coastline, as well as some enviable mansions on the southern side.
Just over 1km south of Bondi Beach is pretty Tamarama Beach. It’s apparently known to locals as “Glamarama”, as it’s where the beautiful people like to go! I’ve never noticed a difference between here and the other Eastern Suburbs beaches though!
If you visit during Sculpture by the Sea, much of the exhibition will be on the sand at Tamarama Beach itself, so allow time to explore!
There’s a beach cafe and toilets at Tamarama Beach, but it’s a much smaller area than Bondi and Coogee. Very pretty though!
About 700m south of Tamarama Beach is Bronte Beach. This is one of my favourite beaches in the Eastern Suburbs, as it’s got cute cafes, a bit of afternoon shade from the cliffs, an ocean pool and a lovely, social grassy area with shelters.
One attraction on the Bondi to Coogee walk you probably won’t be expecting is enormous Waverley Cemetery! It’s an odd sort of place, where palm trees are interspersed with ornate memorials, but definitely a unique spot to visit!
This iconic graveyard, which opened in 1877, is heritage listed and fascinating to explore, particularly with the dramatic ocean backdrop!
Once you’ve passed the cemetery, about 2.2km from Bronte, is little Clovelly Beach. It’s a popular swimming and snorkelling beach as the water in the long, narrow bay is so protected.
There’s also a 25m saltwater pool and concrete promenades along the sides of the beach.
The walk to Coogee Beach from Clovelly is just under 2km, and you’ll pass more stunning scenery as well as small, secluded Gordons Bay, a popular spot for snorkelling.
Coogee Beach itself is gorgeous and surrounded by grassy areas that get pretty busy. You’ve got a wide choice of cafes, restaurants and bars as well as shops and a number of ocean pools at either end.
It is a very popular beach, but feels a bit more low key than Bondi with a great atmosphere. For lunch or drinks try Coogee Bay Hotel, a large bar/restaurant/hotel right opposite the beach that’s been running since 1873. The bar and restaurant opposite, Little Jack Horner, always catches my eye too, with its big open windows and live music.

For a longer walk, you can continue south from Coogee to Maroubra Beach and beyond. To find out about the less-touristy beaches from Maroubra down to La Perouse, have a read of this blog post:

In the heart of a lush and vibrant forest, where the trees whispered secrets and the sun danced through the leaves, a mighty lion reigned as king. His roar echoed through the woods, a symbol of his strength and power. Not far from his majestic presence, in a cozy burrow nestled among the roots of an ancient oak, lived a small mouse.
One sun-drenched afternoon, while the lion rested under the shade of a tree, his slumber was abruptly interrupted. The mouse, scurrying about in her daily forays, accidentally scampered across the lion’s paw. Startled awake, the lion’s eyes snapped open to find the tiny creature trembling before him.
“Oh, great lion,” the mouse squeaked, her voice quivering with fear, “please spare my life! I meant no harm, and I promise that one day I might be able to help you in return.”
The lion, amused by such a bold statement, let out a soft chuckle. “You? Help me?” he mused, his voice deep and resonant. “You’re tiny and weak. How could you ever assist a lion like me?”
Yet, there was earnestness in the mouse’s eyes as she replied, “It’s true I am small, but even the smallest kindness should be respected. You never know when it might be useful.”
Months passed, and the forest continued its endless dance of life. But fate had a twist in store. The lion, while wandering through the woods, found himself ensnared in a hunter’s net. Panic and frustration gripped him as he struggled, but his mighty roars and strength were futile against the ropes.
“I’m trapped,” he growled, his voice tinged with despair, “and my mighty roars won’t help me now.”
It was then that the mouse, true to her word, appeared from the underbrush. “Don’t worry, lion,” she called out, her voice small but filled with determination, “I remember my promise.”
With courage that belied her size, the mouse approached the net and began to gnaw at the ropes. “I won’t give up, lion!” she declared, her tiny teeth working tirelessly.
The lion watched in awe as the mouse’s persistent efforts slowly but surely loosened the ropes. “Your determination is surprising, little mouse,” he admitted, a newfound respect in his voice.
Finally, the ropes gave way, and the lion was free. He rose, shaking his mane, a deep sense of gratitude in his heart. “You’ve done what I thought was impossible. Thank you,” he said, looking down at his tiny savior.
“I’m glad I could help, lion,” the mouse replied modestly, her heart swelling with pride.
From that day forward, the bond between the lion and the mouse grew. They roamed the forest together, a testament to the power of kindness and the unexpected nature of friendship. The lion, once believing in only strength and might, learned to appreciate the value of all creatures, great and small.
“Even the smallest friends can be of great help in times of need,” the lion reflected, his gaze softening as he watched the mouse scamper alongside him.
And so, the lion and the mouse continued their journey through the forest, each teaching the other about strength, vulnerability, and the boundless nature of compassion. Their story became a legend among the forest dwellers, a reminder that every creature, no matter how small or mighty, has its own strengths and that true friendship knows no bounds.
Moral of The Story
Moral of The Lion and the Mouse Story is:
“Even the smallest friends can be of great help in times of need.” | <urn:uuid:0affdc74-11db-479a-935a-73b5ab98f4fa> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dreamlittlestar.com/the-lion-and-the-mouse/ | 2024-04-24T02:12:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.974849 | 843 |

Keloids are excessive scar tissue that develops in response to skin damage. Large keloids can become a nuisance since they stick out of the skin, itch, and sometimes even cause you to feel self-conscious. Although there are risks to treating keloids, treating them when they are first noticed is sometimes the best approach. Here is what to know about keloids and how Dr. Shauna Diggs can help treat them.
What Are Keloids?
When the skin repairs itself after an injury, scarring is an inevitable byproduct. Unlike scar tissue, keloids can become much larger than the original injury. After a keloid begins, it might take months or even years to develop fully, eventually masking the scar left by the lesion. When a keloid arises close to a joint or over a vast body area, it can restrict movement and cause pain.
Why You Should Visit a Dermatologist for Keloid Treatment
If you have a keloid scar, the best thing you can do is visit a dermatologist. Here are some reasons why.
They Can Properly Diagnose Keloids
During a skin inspection, a dermatologist can tell if you have keloids by the size and appearance of the scar. Collagen, the stiff, fibrous protein that makes up keloids, may be seen with the naked eye. It’s important to know if you have keloids or have a history of keloids since this can impact things like your candidacy for certain surgeries or treatments in the future.
They Can Perform a Biopsy
When a dermatologist examines a patient, they can typically identify a keloid. However, a keloid is just one of the many skin conditions that might seem similar. Specific allergic skin reactions, such as a response to the gold in a pair of earrings, can cause a swelling that mimics a keloid. Your dermatologist can perform a skin biopsy to determine if it’s a keloid or something else. This can be done in-office and is very quick. Your dermatologist will simply numb the region and remove a small piece of skin for microscopic analysis during a skin biopsy.
They Can Prescribe Treatment
Keloids require specialized treatment, so it’s best to seek out a board-certified dermatologist. Dermatologists often recommend over-the-counter topical products containing silicone for mild to moderate keloids. These gels encourage the body to reduce collagen and rebuild blood vessels, which reduces the keloid’s redness and swelling.
Injecting corticosteroids directly into a keloid may help lessen its size. With corticosteroids, scar tissue development under the skin is slowed. Also, a corticosteroid injection might alleviate the itching, swelling, discomfort, and redness you’re experiencing. Your dermatologist might also suggest laser treatments to improve skin tone and lessen keloid discoloration.

This collection demonstrates how much the bicycle impacts the lives of people all over the world. Many of us are fortunate to use the bike simply as a form of recreation, however for others it is a means of survival, the way they support themselves and their families. Looking at these images served as a good reminder to me that we should never take the bicycle for granted.

Launching an SEO campaign can often be daunting. Trying to determine where to start and what tactics to use is an unfortunate reality of the process.
That said, it doesn’t have to be completely overwhelming. Imagine you’re a small business owner with limited knowledge of SEO and how to begin. You want to see your website climb the ranks but don’t know how to get there. Let’s look at tips and tricks to make launching an SEO campaign more accessible and successful.
Assess Current Website Performance
Launching an SEO campaign begins with assessing current website performance. This step involves conducting a web audit of your website. It also looks at the following:
- current ranking
- bounce rate
- organic reach
- and organic visibility
Additionally, competitor analysis should be conducted to assess their rankings, position, and visibility compared to your website. It is essential to have a pulse on the current situation to establish a benchmark before beginning a campaign.
Analyze Keyword Research
First, you must identify the keywords that will drive your desired traffic to your site. You can go about this in several ways, such as by conducting a market analysis to determine the keywords people are using to find your service or product, using tools such as Google’s AdWords to find relevant keywords, analyzing your competitors’ keywords, or using specialized keyword research tools such as Ahrefs or SEMrush to identify potential keywords.
Once you have an idea of the most searched terms, you can use these keywords in your website’s content, such as directly within the page titles, headings, and text, as well as in meta tags, to increase your SEO ranking.
Additionally, it would be best to utilize your keywords in your website’s link structure, as they will be a powerful tool in pushing your site up in the rankings.
Strategize Effective Content Creation
Launching an effective SEO campaign involves understanding what your goals are. Are you after higher rankings and better visibility, more visitors, and more leads? Or are you focused on increasing online sales revenue?
Once you have those goals, you can begin strategizing effective content creation. Content creation is the foundation of any successful SEO plan. Consider topics that are of relevance to your target audience.
Find gaps in content that exist in your industry and create them, or present an idea from a unique angle. Consider the type of content – videos, audio, blog posts, infographics, images, webinars, etc. Then, create unique, relevant content for each medium.
Take time to research what your competition is producing and improve upon it. Optimize content for on-page performance by properly structuring content, using optimized images, and providing meta info. Finally, use social media channels to get your content to the right people.
After launching your content, review the performance and track progress to ensure you consistently get the desired results.

What are the things you need to know about retail inventory management?
- It is crucial for the success of any retail business
- There are different kinds of retail inventory
- It provides you with inventory metrics
- Management of the supply chain is important
- Allows businesses to improve their customers’ experience
What is retail inventory management? This is a key part of running a successful retail business. It is the process of organizing and tracking a store’s inventory. For this, employees manage the flow of products from different suppliers to the store to make sure they arrive at the right time with the correct quantities.
When done correctly, this can help retailers improve customer satisfaction, increase sales, reduce costs, and improve profitability. Here are some important things you need to know about this business process:
It is Crucial for the Success of Any Retail Business
Any retail business that wants to be successful needs to have good inventory management. Retailers need accurate, up-to-date inventory data to make smart business decisions. This can help them avoid stockouts and overstocking by allowing them to optimize their inventory levels to reduce costs.
In the long run, this can help retailers improve customer satisfaction by ensuring that the products customers want are available. This is especially useful for clothing, accessories, and even food businesses.
There are Different Kinds of Retail Inventory
Businesses are not limited to just one kind of inventory system. There are many times that retailers need to manage. This includes raw materials, work-in-progress, finished goods, and maintenance.
However, most shops only deal with finished goods inventor that includes products that are ready for sale to customers.
DynamIQ offers one kind of retail inventory — the DyanmiQ Barcoding! This is a third-party integration for SAP Business One that uses barcodes for tracking. There are many reasons to try out barcode inventory in your stores that will help you boost your sales. This allows stores to keep track of their sales and inventory levels in real time.
It Provides You with Inventory Metrics
Retailers need to track several inventory metrics. This allows them to measure how effective their management system is. Retailers usually measure the inventory turnover, carrying cost of inventory, stockout rate, and order lead time.
With these metrics, retailers can find trends and patterns in how customers act, predict demands, and make sure they have enough stock of items. Metrics allow them to make decisions based on data, avoiding guessing games when dealing with ordering stock.
There are many reasons to try out barcode inventory in your stores that will help you boost your sales.
Management of the Supply Chain is Important
In the retail industry, managing the supply chain is a key part of inventory management. Retailers rely on a complex network of suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and logistics providers to make sure that products are delivered on time and in good condition. Stores need to have good relationships with their suppliers to make sure they always have products to sell.
But retailers have to do more than just manage their relationships with their suppliers. They also have to make sure that their supply chain is set up best to meet their inventory needs. This means managing logistics, transportation, and the flow of inventory to keep costs low and efficiency high. When retail items are delivered on time and in good shape, retailers can reduce the chance of losing sales.
By streamlining their supply chain, retailers can also cut costs related to having too much inventory and improve their cash flow.
Allows Businesses to Improve Their Customers’ Experience
In today’s competitive retail market, it’s important to give customers the best shopping experience possible. Customers expect to find the things they want in a store or when they shop online. If a customer wants a product that is out of stock, they may get displeased and decide to shop somewhere else. On the other hand, customers will be loyal to stores that always have the products they need. This will lead to repeat business and customer satisfaction.
Good retail inventory management and good IT solutions in your logistics can also help a store’s reputation and brand image by giving customers a good experience. Customers are more likely to tell their friends and family about a store if they always find the things they need there. This can make people talk about the store, which can lead to more business sales.
Retail inventory management is an ongoing process that needs to be improved and paid attention to all the time. Retailers must always look at their inventory management processes and strategies to find places where they can be improved and make the necessary changes. By knowing what is retail inventory management and focusing on its key areas, retailers can improve how they manage their stock and, in the long run, grow their businesses. | <urn:uuid:384e3fef-3dca-467d-9ae3-5c2c167b3cdb> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dynamiqes.com/what-is-retail-inventory-management/ | 2024-04-24T02:35:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.963312 | 974 |
Despite rumors to the contrary, April 3, 2004, wasn’t the day that the music died in Tempe. It was the date when the plug was pulled on fabled Mill Avenue rock club Long Wong’s, though. The heartbreaking event signaled the end of the city’s biggest live music era, but not a death knell for its scene. Nor were any of the closures that shuttered other prominent Tempe venues in the ensuing years.
The pulse of live music in the east Valley city has ebbed and flowed considerably over the past four decades, from the immense popularity of the Mill Avenue sound around the time that the Gin Blossoms cracked Billboard’s Hot 100 charts with “Hey Jealousy,” to the fallow period following the shuttering of Long Wong’s.
Tempe’s music scene has weathered many ups and downs over the years, including the current pandemic, but it will ultimately survive. Will it ever ascend to the height of its ’90s heyday again? Probably not, but that’s not to say it won’t continue to develop new bands and musicians.
As is the norm in any city, venues tend to come and go. Some are felled by progress. Others are victims of the ever-changing whims of patrons or the fickle economy. All these outcomes have taken place in the Tempe scene over the past several decades, proving that the true constant is change.
That’s the spirit behind the following look back at 25 venues that defined live music in Tempe over the last few decades. It illustrates the changes that have occurred in the city’s music scene and also provides a current glimpse at what became of many famed spots.
The famous sign for the Electric Ballroom. Tempe History Museum
Dooley’s/After the Gold Rush/Electric Ballroom
1216 East Apache Boulevard, Tempe
Currently: New School for the Arts & Academics
Long before its current status as an arts charter school, this uniquely shaped structure served as a series of music venues featuring a “who’s who” of the music world. In the ’70s and into the ’80s, the 700-person establishment was called Dooley’s and had gigs by the likes of Devo, Tom Petty, Elvis Costello, The Kinks, and Blondie.
Many of these shows were booked by local promoter Danny Zelisko, as he spent his embryonic years in the concert business bringing in acts to the venue shortly after launching his now-defunct Evening Star Productions in the mid-1970s. He continued bringing in shows after the venue changed owners and names twice over the following two decades, becoming After the Gold Rush in the early ’80s and the Electric Ballroom in the early ’90s.
Each hosted notable acts. After the Gold Rush, for instance, bridged the heyday of hard rock and hair metal (Cinderella, King’s X, and Faster Pussycat) into the rise of grunge and alternative (Nirvana, Mr. Bungle, Widespread Panic). Electric Ballroom had a wide variety of gigs, running the gamut from The Cramps, L7, and Social Distortion to Bloodhound Gang and Blur.
The property’s concert history ended in the late ’90s, due in part to an alleged sexual assault by the rappers of Onyx. (The incident led to the liquor license getting pulled by state officials.) The New School for the Arts & Academics purchased the property in the early 2000s.
Boston’s was home to rock ‘n’ roll throughout the ’90s. Tempe History Museum
910 North McClintock Drive, Tempe
Currently: Elite Cabaret Gentleman’s Club
Described by former Phoenix New Times scribes as an “east Valley rock mecca,” Boston’s was a shabby dive with plenty of verve. It was owned by Al Nichols, who ran the place with his three sons, Corey, Keith, and Jeff. Shows took place on both its indoor and outdoor stage and included a lot of local bands getting their start.
The well-remembered Tempe bar, which operated from 1991 until 2002 and was a hub for rock, punk, alternative, metal, ska, and indie. Search the web and you’ll see an enviable list of touring acts that hit up Boston’s during its run, including The Specials, Napalm Death, Jesus Lizard, Rocket From the Crypt, Flogging Molly, Weezer, Slipknot, Mike Ness, and Jello Biafra.
Following Boston’s closure, it became a Latin dance spot called Club Macarena for a bit, only to eventually go vacant again. In 2009, it reopened as 910 Live, a combination nightclub/venue that mixed live music with DJs, including a notable gig by a pre-breakthrough Skrillex in 2011. By 2013, the main room was transformed into a gentleman’s club known as Elite Cabaret. The expansive back patio has gigs once in a blue moon, which keeps Boston’s rock ‘n’ roll spirit alive.

Hayden Square Amphitheater
404 South Mill Avenue Tempe
Currently still operating
Back in the ’90s, Hayden Square in downtown Tempe boasted a small nexus of venues sharing a symbiotic relationship and groove with the Mill Avenue scene. Situated around a Fourth Street cul-de-sac, its cluster of now-defunct bars was a stomping grounds for musicians, including Balboa Cafe, Chuy’s, and Edcel’s Attic.
At the center of Hayden Square was a modest outdoor amphitheater. Performances were common throughout the 1990s by alternative bands (Soul Asylum, Garbage, They Might Be Giants) and hard rock acts (Stabbing Westward, Deftones). Phish also put on a memorable gig in 1994 attended by thousands.
These days, the area is referred to as “Hayden Station” (because of its proximity to a light-rail stop) and is still used for occasional gigs, like when the Gin Blossoms returned to their roots and played during 2014’s Tempe New Year’s Eve Block Party. Last year, it hosted the Hay Day Music Festival with sets by Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, The Pistoleros, Wise Monkey Orchestra, and The Hourglass Cats.
The entrance to Hollywood Alley during its glory days. Wincek Family
2610 West Baseline Road, Mesa
Currently: AZ Fitness Plus
Over the span of 25 years, this “ultra-chic pissant hip dive bar” located on the border of Tempe and run by the Wincek family was a much-beloved bar, restaurant, music venue, arcade, and second home to many drinkers and Valley musicians.
Within its well-worn walls — which were famously covered with peeling movie posters, old LPs, and other ephemera — an impressive variety of talents both local and touring performed for the delight of crowds both large and small. Another draw was the lineup of homemade recipes created by Rachel Hrutkay, the grandmother of the Wincek family.
Hollywood Alley closed in 2013 because of financial issues faced by the Winceks. Shortly after its shuttering, it was stripped of every single bit of memorabilia by its proprietors and regulars and was completely remodeled by the property owners. After operating as a secondhand store for years, it’s now a local boxing and yoga facility called AZ Fitness Plus.
EXPAND The Marquee Theatre’s building used to host family-friendly country fare. Tempe History Museum
Red River Opry
730 North Mill Avenue, Tempe
Currently: Marquee Theatre
A decade before Marquee Theatre opened for business in March 2003 at the corner of Mill Avenue and Washington Street, the expansive building was the domain of country crooners and down-home sounds. In 1993, the venue debuted as the Red River Opry, a family-oriented place with auditorium seating and a theatrical-style revue called the “Arizona’s Country Music Show.”
At the time, New Times writers described the performances as a “scripted blend of family-friendly crossover country and pop, punctuated with a bit of comedy.” Yee-haw. Long after the Red River Opry headed for the last roundup, the property became the concert hall we all know today, sans the seating, and all the heaping helpings of cornpone. Since becoming the Marquee, it’s put on upward of 2,000 concerts.

Yucca Tap Room
29 West Southern Avenue, Tempe
Currently still operating
The Yucca Tap is a survivor. It’s withstood economic downturns, evolving tastes, and is seemingly getting by during the current COVID-19 crisis. One of the reasons is because the bar, which has been owned by the Hu family since the early ‘70s, has changed with the times. A 2009 expansion added a craft beer/whiskey bar and kitchen while an adjacent arcade came along in 2018. Meanwhile, the main room at the Yucca has remained largely the same, right down to its wood-paneled walls. And if they could talk, they’d spin tales of the countless gigs that have happened here.
After featuring a few different house bands on weekends, the Hu family started presenting local live music in 1989, including many of the famed acts that put Tempe on the map. Current owner Rodney Hu can rattle off a rundown of some of the more well-remembered bands that played at the Yucca, such as Flathead, Spinning Jennies, The Pistoleros, Satellite, and The Refreshments. And as new groups were born, the bar offered up its stage to each, ranging from Grave Danger and The Black Moods to The Format (who performed a memorable acoustic set in 2005).

Need proof of the ever-evolving state of Tempe’s nightlife scene? Look no farther than this second-floor spot, which has previously been known as The Upstairs Pub, Ziggy’s, Vintage Bar & Grill, the Coconut Club, PA Connection, and the BAC Lounge over the years. Its longest stint was as Edcels Attic (or Edsels Attic, depending on the source) during the decade-long stretch from the mid-’80s to mid-’90s.
Live music was on tap nightly from a rotating selection of bands, running the gamut from the blues-oriented Chuck Hall and the Brick Wall to the Bruce Connole-led alternative ensemble The Strand. Longtime owner Ed Chiongbian and Cely Bossany, who purchased the place in 1986, also frequently booked artists like Walt Richardson and Morningstar, the Zubia brothers, and Brides of Science.

Devil House/Club Rio
430 North Scottsdale Road, Tempe
Currently: The Watermark Tempe
Throughout the ’80s and ’90s, this spot along Scottsdale Road just north of the Salt River was a major rage haven for ASU kids and 20-somethings. It debuted in 1981 as the Devil House, and later became Club Rio, offering a mix of theme events (like its Saturday foam parties) and DJ nights throughout its 23-year lifespan.
Club Rio’s party-hardy infamy was due in no small part to its cheap and plentiful drinks, which led to both good times and bad decisions during its run. (Onetime Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jake Plummer got in trouble back in 1997 for allegedly fondling four women inside the club.)
Besides serving as a notorious nightspot, Club Rio was a popular concert venue, especially during the 1990s and into the new millennium. Countless acts from that era gigged at Club Rio, including Bad Religion, Porno for Pyros, Green Day, Jesus Jones, Ben Folds Five, Korn, System of a Down, and Soulfly.
After later becoming the Arizona Beach Club for a spell, the club was torn down in the mid-2000s, and the property has become The Watermark Tempe, a $150 million mixed-use development.

This property along Broadway Road just off Mill Avenue started out as a church, then became a nightclub before a noteworthy stint in the late ’80s and most of the ’90s as Tony’s New Yorker.
The Italian restaurant and its attached lounge were graced by many legendary Tempe musicians, including bands like the Piersons, bluesman Hans Olson, and the late Doug Hopkins. In fact, the troubled Gin Blossoms songwriter and guitarist reportedly played his final gig at Tony’s alongside Olson in late 1993 shortly before taking his own life.
These days, music still echoes through the building, as it’s now an American Legion Post 138. Artists and bands occasionally perform inside the large and lively bar, which is a favorite of neighborhood folk, former servicemen, and a variety of biker types. Like with any American Legion Post, however, membership is required.
EXPAND Inside Eastside Records on. Benjamin Leatherman
217 West University Drive, Tempe
Currently: HQ Vape & Smoke
Though not technically a music venue, the original location of Eastside Records on University Drive was an epicenter and meeting ground for the local music scene for close to 20 years. It also hosted more than a few shows in its day, both inside the store and out in the parking lot.
One of the biggest was a rowdy performance by surf/space rock act Man or Astro-Man? in 1995 that forced the landlord to ban future gigs at Eastside for a lengthy period of time. And though it wasn’t as uproarious, the final night at Eastside’s original home prior to its closure in 2010 featured Grave Danger and other locals performing in the aisles.
After its closure in 2010, neighboring smoke shop HQ Vape & Smoke (an iconic Tempe business in its own right) expanded into the space and doubled its size. Eastside co-owner Michael Pawlicki opened a few different pop-up versions of the store around Tempe over the past decade before settling on a space inside the Double Nickels Collective near the Yucca Tap Room.

The squat cobblestone structure located just east of McClintock Drive on Apache Boulevard may not be the oldest existing building in Tempe, but it does happen to be the oldest one currently operating as a music venue. In 1919, almost a century before it began hosting everything from punk and death metal to hip-hop, the building was the E.M. White Dairy Barn. It later was transformed into a commercial establishment in 1930 and later became a series of restaurants and bars.
Before it was Tempe Tavern, the property was the Oxbow in the 1940s and the New Oxbow Tavern in the 1970s. Throughout most of the ’90s, it served up many a pint as Murphy’s Irish Pub before its closure in 2001. A decade later, its current proprietors refurbished and remodeled the joint in 2011 into its current look.

This iconic Tempe water park is nothing if not historic. Having opened in 1969, it not only is the longest-running attraction of its kind in Arizona but also features the first-ever wave pool in the U.S. In the 1970s, people turned out in droves for a number of outdoor concerts by noteworthy acts.
According to Big Surf’s proprietors, classic rock and pop legends like Deep Purple, Steely Dan, Boz Scaggs, and Foghat all performed amid the palm trees and Polynesian kitsch of the park. (Sometimes the outdoor setting was a bit hazardous, like when Pink Floyd reportedly pulled the plug midway through its September 1972 set due to rain.) Other renowned names who visited Big Surf for shows over the decades include Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Blue Öyster Cult, Sting, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Fast-forward to the present, and the water park still is giving up space for concerts. Steve LeVine Entertainment put on three separate editions of its Soundwave music festivals in 2011 and 2012 at Big Surf, while the annual Wet Electric has brought in such noteworthy DJs as Dillon Francis, Diplo, and Flux Pavillion each year since 2013.

In 1990, Sail Inn owner Gina Lombardi and her business partners turned what was originally a ramshackle dive known as the Last Chance Saloon into a thriving music destination. It spent the better part of the next 24 years as one of Tempe’s favorite places to drink, hang out, or catch a show. Local musicians and bands were big fans of the place during its lifespan, be it blues artists in the early ’90s, the members of Mill’s famous jangle-pop era, or more modern acts like Dry River Yacht Club, Japhy’s Descent, and The Sugar Thieves.
The good times came to an end in 2014 when the property was sold to developers and transformed into the new home for Chef Aaron May’s Sasquatch-themed restaurant/bar The Lodge. Sail Inn’s patrons will be pleased to know that the establishment retains some structural elements of its former identity, including the property’s outdoor amphitheater, which serves as the backdrop for the patio.

Big bashes took place in this now-defunct concert hall attached to the equally extinct sports bar McDuffy’s, and we aren’t just referring to the times pro wrestlers battled inside. There were also costume balls, swing parties, and a variety of other nightlife events. The main attraction, though, was concerts, which the Bash hosted in abundance after opening in 1997.
Loads of raucous local CD release parties happened within the cavernous main room, including shindigs by Morse Code, Mourning Maxwell, Victims in Ecstacy, Kings of Pleasure, and Blessedbethyname. As one of the snazzier mid-sized venues locally, it saw a lot of use by Valley artists with significant followings, as well as underground hip-hop acts, up-and-coming indie bands, punk and ska legends, and hordes of hard rock and death metal groups.
The Bash enjoyed a six-year run, but a combination of waning crowds, the post-9/11 economic funk, and a downturn of interest in live music convinced owner Scott Adams to eschew concerts in 2004 and turn it into a nightclub. It didn’t last, and he consequently brought back the Bash on Ash the following summer, only to close both it and McDuffy’s in 2005. The building now is now occupied by the offices of Education at Work.
560 South College Avenue, Tempe
Ever strolled past this particular College Avenue establishment on your way to Sun Devil Stadium over the decades? No doubt you’ve seen the series of sports bars and drinkeries that have come and gone from the property. Back in 1999, it was home to the Green Room, one of the first music venues overseen by local concert promoter Charlie Levy.
Let’s set the stage: It’s late 1998 and the future owner of Crescent Ballroom and Valley Bar had left Nita’s Hideaway. Levy had chosen to focus on managing local bands and was approached by the owners of Fumbles, a foundering bar located in the space, about bringing his clients in to perform at the business. Many of Levy’s cohorts from Nita’s, such as soundman Jamah Ruhe and the members of the Bombshelter DJs, followed him to the Green Room. And the place prospered. Jimmy Eat World held the release party for their influential album Clarity at the spot. Meanwhile, Levy also brought in such bands as Get Up Kids and Superchunk.
Levy and his crew departed a year or so later, and the Green Room carried on for a spell before closing. Since then, a series of sports bars and restaurants have taken over the property, including its most recent tenant, a now-defunct Mediterranean restaurant called Nush.

1100 East Apache Boulevard, Tempe
Currently: Apollo Apartments
In what some folks fondly remember as the Valley’s version of Chicago’s infamous Fireside Bowl, the long-defunct Tempe Bowl was the site of many rock, punk, and ska gigs in the late 1990s. After the neighboring Electric Ballroom lost its liquor license in 1997, shows booked at the ailing venue were quickly moved next door to the bowling alley. Christine Zahn, Tempe Bowl’s owner, was receptive to the situation and allowed further concerts at her business in the following months. It quickly became a popular all-ages venue frequented by punks and straight-edge kids.
The shows helped Tempe Bowl’s bottom line but it wasn’t enough to keep the place alive. It closed in the early 2000s and was transformed into the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts. The property has since been razed and is now a multimillion-dollar condo project set to open later this year.

Opened in 1995 by original owner Donny Johnson (currently the general manager for Lucky Man Concerts), the Big Fish Pub was slightly removed from the popular Mill Avenue scene but still featured many of the same acts. As the years wore on, the pub also hosted many renowned hard rock and alternative acts during their formative years, including A Perfect Circle, Sevendust, Eagles of Death Metal, 30 Seconds to Mars, and Chester Bennington’s pre-Linkin Park band, Grey Daze.
Johnson sold the bar in 2005 after a decade of ownership to local entrepreneur Mark DeCarlo. It became more of a blues/R&B joint before changing owners again in 2008, this time being purchased by proprietor Victor Boiseau, who returned the place to its rock club roots.
Despite his best efforts to sustain the Big Fish, he reportedly got into a spat with the owners of the strip mall that housed the bar over rent and other issues. As a result, Boiseau closed the pub in 2014 and moved it to Mesa (where it lasted less than a year). Since then, its original home underwent a major remodeling and is now home to one of the Valley locations of 360 Physical Therapy.
EXPAND Yes, Tempe once had a restaurant, bar, and music venue inside a giant barn. Tempe History Museum
715 South McClintock Drive, Tempe
Currently: Social Hall
When it came to kitschy spots, it was hard to top Minder Binder’s. After all, the place was built to resemble a huge red barn and boasted a bucolic theme and an array of antiques inside. Opened in 1972, it was aimed at college students and beckoned them with five different bars, nickel beer nights, dance parties, and shows on its backyard or in the upstairs area. Veruca Salt played there once, as did bands like Flotsam and Jetsam, Agent Orange, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Infectious Grooves, and even Hole (back before Courtney Love went completely nutso).
Minder Binder’s bought the farm around 2005, and the property sat almost a decade as a decrepit eyesore along McClintock Drive before being completely reconstructed and remodeled in 2014. It’s now known as Social Hall, an expansive restaurant and bar with none of the ostentatiousness of its predecessor.
The third version of Chuy’s, which was located in Hayden Square. Tempe History Museum
The history of Chuy’s encompasses not one, but three separate bygone venues in downtown Tempe, each with its own particular vibe and preferred sound. The first location originated in the 1970s and was known as Chuy’s Choo-Choo, a ground-level bar at the now-demolished Casa Loma Hotel near Third Street and Mill Avenue that started featuring live acts around the late 1970s.
In 1981, local musician Jim Simmons and his wife, vocalist Nancy Jackson, took over the spot, 86ed the “Choo-Choo” portion of this moniker, and turned it into a hot spot for jazz and blues artists. “Every big jazz and blues person you could think of played there, like the Crusaders and John Lee Hooker,” says local concert promoter Danny Zelisko. Other visitors included Charlie Musselwhite, the late Jaco Pastorius, Branford Marsalis, McCoy Tyner, and Gatemouth Brown.
Due to real-estate development in downtown, Simmons and Jackson moved Chuy’s twice during the 11-year span they ran the club, eventually winding up in what then was known as Hayden Square in 1989 and spending the next three years hosting rock and alternative concerts until its closure in October 1992.
Gibson’s in Hayden Square was a rock haven. Tempe History Museum
410 South Mill Avenue
Fast-forward a year and a half (and an ownership change) later to 1994 and what was once Chuy’s became Gibson’s, a preferred spot for many music fans. Its balcony was a great place for bird’s-eye views of the bands (not to mention a closer look at the row of namesake guitars adorning the ceiling), the higher-than-normal stage gave an aura of importance to anyone performing on it, the sound was always spot on, and it was where many saw some of their biggest rock heroes during the height of their success.
Zelikso was one of ‘em. “I loved shows at Gibson’s,” he says. “There was that balcony and you could look down on whoever was playing.”
Gibson’s was open for only five years, but hosted plenty of famous acts, including Lords of Acid, Gravity Kills, Suicidal Tendencies, Supersuckers, Cibo Matto, and Soul Coughing.
In 2000, the bar went hippie as Have a Nice Day Cafe for a few years before becoming a series of different clubs, including Margarita Rocks, Moonshine Whiskey Bar, and the Cabin Tempe. The property is currently vacant but we’re guessing it has a new tenant before too long.
EXPAND JD’s was one of the Arizona spots where Waylon Jennings got his start. Tempe History Museum
825 North Scottsdale Road
You may not know it from its shabby appearance, but the now-closed furniture store next door to the Dream Palace strip club was once considered hallowed ground. A lifetime ago, it was the location of JD’s, a name that’s likely familiar to fans of the late Waylon Jennings.
The two-floor nightclub, which was located at what was then bottom of the dry Salt River, debuted in the mid-’60s and featured rock bands downstairs and country music upstairs. The outlaw crooner and longtime Valley resident performed their often, honing his craft and gaining exposure to the country music world. Other Hall of Famers that graced JD’s and packed ’em in by the thousands were Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and the Valley’s own Mike Condello.
The club survived into the ‘70s, albeit after a number of setbacks. After the river bed flooded in 1965, significant water damage caused the place to close for weeks. It also changed ownership and names before being gutted by a fire in 1976 and eventually turning into a retail store in 1978. It was most recently a furniture outlet, which went out of business a few years ago.
5555 East Van Buren Street
Currently: Fiftyfive55 office building
Say the name “Compton Terrace” to old-school Valley residents and they might immediately ask back, “Which one?” There were two versions of the famed outdoor amphitheater, with the first located on the Phoenix/Tempe border inside the storied Legend City amusement park. Built by local entrepreneur Jess Nicks (father of rock ‘n’ roll queen Stevie Nicks) and his brother Gene, it occupied the southeastern corner of Legend City and debuted in July 1979. It also provided a new source of income to the struggling amusement park.
Filling a need for large-capacity concert venues in the Valley, the first Compton Terrace featured a 20,000-person capacity and an unrivaled lineup of shows. The Nicks partnered with local promoter Doug Clark and brought big-name rock and pop stars of that era to its stage, including Elton John, Dan Fogelberg, Cheap Trick, Grateful Dead, and Linda Ronstadt.
Legend City finally went under in 1983, forcing Compton Terrace to relocate to what was then known as Firebird Lake in Chandler. (AC/DC performed the final show at its original home.) Concerts continued to take place there through the ‘90s and 2000s until its demolition a decade ago.
EXPAND The Sun Club was hot, scummy, and beloved by many during its run. Tempe History Museum
The Sun Club
1001 East Eighth Street
Currently: Valor on Eighth Apartments
There will never be another place like the Sun Club. Easily one of the more legendary and seminal music venues in Tempe history, it was a breeding ground, cultural incubator, and launching pad for what would become some of the city’s most illustrious rock acts.
Case in point: The Gin Blossoms attracted major label interest after a memorable show here in the early ’90s. The members of Dead Hot Workshop were also regulars during the band’s formative years and would pay homage in 1995 by using a photo of the Sun Club as the cover art for their album 1001.
Bluesman Hans Olson began a long association with the place in 1969 when it was known as The Library and offered him a regular spot to jam. He became owner in the late ’80s, fixed it up, and rechristened it with its best-known moniker while racking up $48,000 in debt, necessitating selling it off 18 months later. The Sun Club lived on for another couple of years before closing in 1992. A four-story apartment building called Valor on Eighth is now located on the property.
EXPAND Nita’s Hideaway is etched in Tempe music history. Tempe History Museum
1816 East Rio Salado Parkway, Tempe
Currently: Tempe Marketplace
In early 1995, Nita’s Hideaway, the small out-of-the-way dive on Rio Salado Parkway owned by the late rodeo queen Nita Craddock, had a watershed moment: It hosted the first of a series of weekly sets by the now-defunct pop band the Piersons. It was the first-ever show at the bar arranged by Charlie Levy, who had to cajole its owner into allowing it to happen. Craddock finally relented, allowing her namesake spot to become etched in the annals of Tempe music lore.
The Piersons were the first of literally thousands of bands to perform at Nita’s over the next seven years, helping it become a staple of the local music circuit. Craddock allowed Levy to build a stage, buy a sound system, and bring in bigger acts on weekends, like Tucson’s Giant Sand. Things quickly blew up from there as Nita’s became a hub for indie and tastemaking rock.
Then came some a number of twists and turns. Craddock became fed up with the bar biz and sold the building in 1998, only to buy it back months later after its new owners’ attempt at an all-ages punk club failed. Then, late Mark Covert purchased it in 1999 and returned Nita’s to its former glory in 2000 with Levy’s assistance. Unfortunately, the bar and other nearby businesses were earmarked for the future Tempe Marketplace and torn down in 2003 to make way for the shopping center.
EXPAND Long Wong’s was a focal point of local music in the ’90s. Tempe History Museum
701 South Mill Avenue, Tempe
Long Wong’s on Mill was the epicenter of the Tempe scene during its glory years and the nucleus of an interconnected network of musicians, clubs, and fans. An esteemed institution that hummed with live music nightly for 16 years straight, it’s where bands wanted to be seen and heard. Although the Gin Blossoms will forever be linked to the place, they weren’t the only ones that made its tiny stage their home.
The list of those who were featured at Wong’s is nearly endless: The Beat Angels. Zen Lunatics. The Pistoleros. The Refreshments. Busted Hearts. Gloritone. Revenants. Trophy Husbands. Flathead. Even the late Elvis “The Cat” Delmonte, an entertainingly eccentric artist, even got stage time. Long Wong’s ultimately was a barometer of Tempe’s music scene, rising in prominence and importance as interest in its brand of rock and pop did the same. Its closure in 2004 came as a blow and surprise to many, even after the spotlight on Mill had long since faded.
And though Long Wong’s was demolished to reportedly make way for future development along Mill, its plot has remained vacant ever since, serving as an occasional parking lot and a gaping reminder of what was.

Three EBPP Implementation Challenges and How to Overcome Them
Migrating from paper-based to electronic bill presentation and payment (EBPP) offers a wealth of benefits to utilities and other businesses that send recurring bills to customers. Making this change also presents challenges. But the good news is that these obstacles can be overcome so they don’t “snowball” and give you a case of the blues that will last well past the winter and into the remainder of the year. Here’s a closer look at the top three such challenges and how to tackle them.
1. Integration Issues
Many companies have abandoned cumbersome manual payment processing methods, replacing them with accounting software that automatically tracks invoices and transactions. However, when a company’s accounting software does not integrate with its EBPP system, some advantages gained from deploying EBPP technology namely, increased payment processing efficiencies, decreased labor expenditures, and reductions in payment reconciliation errors are “frozen” right out. The benefits of EBPP can also be compromised if it cannot communicate with existing payment solutions.
The best way to avoid headaches of this type is to choose an EBPP solution that seamlessly integrates with top accounting software offerings. Avoid deploying a solution that would require any type of modification in order to “talk” to your accounting software or to any other payment products in your operation’s technology toolbox.
2. Compliance Related Complications
Adherence to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a must for companies that handle sensitive payment data. Companies may also need to comply with other standards and regulations. This can be problematic, partially because keeping abreast of changes in standards and regulations is a time-consuming and often confusing task. So it’s not surprising that for some companies, the prospect of standards and regulations compliance is so daunting that it dissuades them from adopting EBPP altogether.
There is, however, a simple means of circumventing the compliance issue and preventing it from becoming a barrier to EBPP implementation. PCI DSS compliance can be built right into EBPP systems and services, for instance, using a PCI DSS-compliant server.
3. Scalability Snafus
For many companies, growth is a desired result and is frequently an inevitable one. Not all EBPP solutions can accommodate this growth, though. Rather, their very structure becomes an obstacle to benefitting from EBPP in the first place.
The only way to get around this problem is by insisting on a scalable EBPP solution. As tempting as it may sound to opt to pick a simpler EBPP option that meets your current needs, go for something that’s scalable and will grow with your company as it does.
E-Complish’s EBPP Electronic Billing Presentment and Payment is designed to allow utility companies and other entities engaged in recurring billing to board the EBPP train without grappling with any of the abovementioned obstacles. In addition to processing transactions on Level One PCI-compliant servers, EBPP Electronic Billing Presentment and Payment is completely scalable.

Today, on Thursday 9 July, Japan Women's Football League has reported to Japan Football Association (JFA) executive committee, their decision to appoint Ms. OKAJIMA Kikuko as chair. The decision was made at the general meeting of members held on Friday 3 July, making Ms. Okajima the first chair of Japan Women’s Empowerment Football League (“WE League”).
Comment of WE League Chair OKAJIMA Kikuko
I am OKAJIMA Kikuko and was appointed as chair of the WE League. In 1972, I started training with a junior high school men’s football club before joining FC Jinnan, Japan’s first ever women’s football club, and I was fortunate enough to be selected into Japan Women’s National Team. I was then involved with Japan Women's Football Federation as a member of the executive committee and as the executive secretary. As a person who has experienced the dawn of women’s football in Japan, I am delighted to be a part of the inauguration of the first ever professional women’s football league in Japan.
There are two missions I would like to accomplish as chair of the WE League. First mission is to make professional WE Leaguers iconic figures for young girls playing football. In the USA, many girls playing football would wear jerseys to attend women’s football matches along with their teammates and coaches, and many families with daughters playing football are often seen in the crowd as well. Starting with girls who play football, I hope to create more opportunities for wide variety of people to watch the WE league matches. .....

How you communicate with your customers is one of the most important aspects of running a digital product store.
Even though social media has dramatically changed the nature of online communications, email remains the industry standard for all kinds of purposes. Whether you want to relay information, engage your customers, build excitement, or market your products, you don’t want to overlook this crucial element of your business!
In this week’s edition of The EDDit, we explore the topic of emails and why they’re more important than you might think.
Email is as popular as ever
No, email is not dying! In fact, it remains a part of everyday life for 99% of consumers worldwide – and regardless of demographics, email is a great way to stay in touch with your customers. With all of the other options out there, even 73% of millennials prefer email when it comes to receiving communications from businesses.
It’s also worth noting that email is one of the few lead generation channels that you can completely control. Social media accounts are subject to the whims of another company — your account is always at risk of being shut down at any time without notice and you can never be sure how algorithms are deciding when and to whom your message is being delivered. Your mailing list is simply more in your control.
Email is the only place where people (not algorithms) are in control. With social and other digital channels — Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, paid search, organic search — someone or something else decides who sees your content and when and where they see it.
To reach customers on social media platforms, you need to do a lot of fine-tuning, and often pay for ads to see significant results. Compare that with email, which goes right to the customer’s inbox. The only thing you have to worry about is getting customers to actually open your emails and click through!
Which brings us to the other main reason for email’s continued popularity: conversions.
Did you know that email marketing has an ROI of 3800%? Some sources even report an ROI as high as 4400%! Also, customers who buy products through email purchase 138% more than those who don’t receive email offers.
It’s safe to say that email is just more effective.
It’s more than just newsletters
Just like some people hear “content marketing” and think “blogging,” some people think email marketing is just about sending the occasional newsletter. But while newsletters can and certainly should be part of your overall email strategy, there’s more to it than that.
Automated emails – or emails based on customer behavior or attributes – can be equally as important. You might set up an email campaign that automatically sends a thank you coupon code to VIP customers once they’ve spent a certain amount in your store, for example. Or, your could automatically remind potential customers to come back and complete a purchase if they leave your site before checkout.
Transactional emails are a type of automated email triggered by certain user actions and usually contain important information. Purchase receipts, password reset emails, and account notifications are all great examples.
Transactional emails are important for establishing trust and rapport with customers, and making sure they have the information they need to effectively use your products, use your site, and keep track of their transactions.
Additionally, you have broadcast emails, such as sales or product announcements, company news, and contests, to name a few. These emails are the bread and butter of your marketing efforts – newsletters included.
Email marketing services like Jilt can send all of these types of emails, with segmentation, automation, and a variety of other features that allow you to customize and send automated, transactional, and broadcast emails to your customers.
Personalization and segmentation
When it comes to email marketing, one of the most common complaints that customers have is that emails simply aren’t relevant to them. And who can blame them? It’s no fun to have an inbox full of emails that aren’t applicable to your life in any way; nowadays there’s enough inbox chaos as it is!
Customers are tired of generic marketing. They want brands to serve them content and offers that appeal to them. If they don’t connect with your emails, they’ll unsubscribe, and you may lose those customers forever.
With this in mind, it’s important to segment your emails if you want to be sure that they’re being delivered to the right customers, at the right times, and that the content is personalized using all the historical data you have. This can include things like user preferences, interests, or purchase history, for example.
Segmentation is personalization at scale.
While personalization tends to be seen as more on a per-user basis, segmentation is a great way to add personalization to your emails on a larger scale, getting the appropriate messages to entire groups of people based on user characteristics, demographics, niche, etc.
Almost every email can be a marketing opportunity
The truth is, email is the primary way to directly communicate with your customers – and that means it’s one of your most valuable marketing channels. For example, even transactional emails like receipts or shipping confirmations can be used to do things like:
- Cross-sell related products
- Build goodwill with customers by offering support
- Promote content
- Ask questions
When you start to think about all of your emails as marketing opportunities that lead toward stronger customer relationships and future sales, you’ll get a better return on your investment when using email.
Email types and sequences
So, what are all of the types of emails and email sequences you might decide to incorporate? Let’s take a look at the most common examples:
- An opt-in email reply. If you have an active blog, people will want to sign up to your mailing list to be notified when you publish new content. Sending an opt-in email confirms that they are signed up, or prompts the subscriber to confirm it for themselves.
- A cart abandonment email. If someone abandons a purchase, you can send a cart abandonment email in an effort to save the sale. Services like Jilt allow you to track cart abandonment, capture customer emails, create automated campaigns, and more. To read more about cart abandonment, you can also check out the post we wrote about it over here.
- The purchase confirmation email. This lets your customers know that their purchase has been completed. Personalize their purchase email with more information about the product(s) they chose.
- The download email. Once your customers complete a purchase, they’ll need access to their product(s). The download email is how you digitally deliver those files. Explain any specific details about how they can get access to their new purchase fast.
- A welcome email series. You can onboard new customers by sending a welcome email series, establishing rapport and helping them learn more about your business or product. Introduce your business, your vision, your products, and yourself!
- A check-in email. Depending on the type of products you sell, you might want to send a check-in email a while after the customer purchases to check and see if they are enjoying the product or if they have any questions.
- A dunning email. If you have a subscription product or use recurring payments, this email notifies users about the status of their accounts and the next steps to take, such as credit card updates. Help your customers avoid missed payments and cancelled subscriptions.
- Updates and news emails. Whether it’s a newsletter or a simple email letting subscribers know about some kind of update to your business or product, or news, these emails keep your customers in the loop.
If done well, email marketing can be awesome, but you want to take the right approach for your specific customers, your brand, and your products. Keep things relevant and timely, and don’t completely overwhelm your mailing list with excessive messages.
With that said, regular (not spammy) communication is a good way to keep your brand in front of people who have purchased from you – and helps you stay in the customer’s top of mind awareness.
Let’s hear from you! What are your experiences with using emails for your digital product store? Share your insights in the comments below.

Let’s face it, sometimes it feels like everything can go wrong in event planning. But we keep calm and carry on! Picture this – our long-time client treats the Big Game like a high holiday and removes that weekend from the planning calendar when scheduling their January incentive reward trip. Due to unforeseen circumstances last year, the travel dates for their January Mexico incentive program had to be rescheduled and it now landed with the arrival day on The Biggest Sunday in February. Cue panic attack? We think not! Our client tasked us with creating an immersive, unique experience for their audience and we were confident we could make this an experience to remember – because when you know your audience, you deliver!
Here’s how we scored a touchdown on their Welcome Reception:
Have a Production Game Plan:
The one thing that can make or break a game viewing experience is broadcast quality. We brought our in-house experience design production team into the planning stages and put their production skills to the test (spoiler alert: they passed). They ensured that all the staging in the venue was equipped to power several large projector screens with smaller TVs dotted along the bar and on the way to the restrooms. We didn’t want anyone to miss even a second of play – or the commercials! And since we were running this program in Mexico, they made sure we had access to an American stream of the game, plus several backups if anything went wrong.
Kickoff with Great Décor:
What’s a Sunday Game party without atmosphere? We wanted the attendees to feel like they could kick back, relax, and watch the game with friends. Large sofas, high tops, bar seating, you name it – however they chose to relax, they had plenty of options to choose from. In addition to the abundance of TV screens, we had lighting and sound wired up to follow the broadcast. Bengals touchdown? The room turned orange! Rams touchdown? Cue Dr. Dre! Some NFL décor, like helium balloons and party supplies, purchased in the U.S. and brought along to the destination perfectly rounded out the theme.
Tackle the Activities:
To increase participants’ fun and interaction, we designed a wagering activation so attendees could compete with one another on game results. Our client made a financial allocation to the kitty, and we set up a game of Football Squares that gave away hundreds of dollars to the winners throughout the game. And since this was a family-friendly program, we incorporated different tailgate games and activities, like cornhole, for the whole family to enjoy and to further embrace the Big Game-feeling atmosphere.
We were tasked with creating an end-around to pull off an amazing football-themed event that exceeded everyone’s expectations and the result: Touchdown! | <urn:uuid:29d9a4de-311b-4b16-9ae5-29ae3f02f87c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ec2-54-188-40-4.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/2023/02/01/knowing-your-audience-is-a-game-changer/ | 2024-04-24T02:30:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.967817 | 577 |

Editors note: the following is a press release sent to E-City Beat from the Cascade County Libertarian Party. Stay tuned to E-City Beat as we begin our coverage of local candidates on the 2024 primary and general election ballots.
Four Libertarians File for Office to Represent >50% of Cascade County in State Legislature
GREAT FALLS, MT, March 12, 2024 – Four Libertarian candidates have filed for office to represent half of the House Districts in Cascade County: Annie Leatherbarrow (HD 24), Kevin Leatherbarrow (HD 23), Lui Salina (HD 25), and Josh Rosales (HD 21).
Although there are many who identify as a libertarian or with libertarian principles, until recently, it was seldom to see a Libertarian candidate on the ballot except for President and perhaps a state-wide race. However, based on yesterday’s March 11th filings, ~40,000 people in Cascade County could be represented by a Libertarian state legislator in the 2024 legislative session.
About the CCLP
The Libertarian Party is the people’s representative in American politics. It is the only political organization which respects people as unique and competent individuals.
The Cascade County and Montana Libertarian Parties are the real choice for less government, lower taxes, and a freer future. The CCLP believes in both economic and personal freedom. We believe people should be free to make their own choices, provided they don’t infringe on the equal right of others to do the same. Government’s role should be to protect an individual’s right to make their own choices in life, so they can reap the rewards of their successes and bear personal responsibility for their decisions.

A Computational Model of Oral Transmucosal Carvedilol Delivery
No Access Until
In the past few decades, there has been a rapid growth in alternative drug delivery routes. The oral cavity has gained attention as an attractive drug delivery site because it enhances drug bioavailability, allows for rapid transport to the systemic circulation, and provides a convenient delivery route. The buccal mucosa is one of the most common routes for oral drug delivery because it is relatively permeable and robust in comparison to other mucosal tissues. The buccal mucosa offers a large surface for absorption, allows for prolonged localized therapy, and avoids first-pass metabolism effects and degradation in the gastrointestinal environment. One potential form of buccal drug therapy currently being investigated is the application of bioadhesive polymer patches to the buccal region of the mouth. Direct contact between a patch and the buccal mucosa allows a drug concentration gradient to favor diffusion into the tissue. Researchers have recently begun to use this innovative method of drug delivery with carvedilol, a non-selective β-adrenergic antagonist used to treat heart failure and high blood pressure. Recent studies have investigated the formulation of bioadhesive patches of carvedilol. The goals of the project are to model drug delivery from a biodegradable carvedilol patch prepared with the PLGA polymer and optimize carvedilol concentration in the blood. The COMSOL Multiphysics 4.3 simulation software was used to model drug diffusion through the buccal mucosa and solve the governing equations used in our simulation. Drug diffusion was modeled using the species mass transport equation through a two-dimensional cross section including the carvedilol patch and surrounding tissue. Saliva flow over the patch and in the mucus region was modeled with one-dimensional Navier-Stokes fluid flow equations. Concentration and flux profiles over the course of the three hour treatment confirm that carvedilol is able to diffuse from the patch and be delivered to the tissue and bloodstream. Approximately 100% of the patch is delivered within three hours. We evaluated patch efficiency using the concentration in the blood as a fraction of the initial patch concentration. The peak carvedilol concentration is reached at 1.8 hours. Drug degradation in the submucosa results in an observable reduction in carvedilol concentration in the bloodstream. Our results were validated based on cumulative drug release and peak concentration data from in vitro and in vivo studies. Since the availability of property data is limited, we performed sensitivity analysis over a range of diffusivity values and saliva flow velocities. Multiple drugs are currently being evaluated for oral mucosal therapy, but the high costs associated with developing these drug delivery systems have limited commercial availability. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling is necessary to determine the ideal parameters and properties to maximize drug efficacy and the percentage of drug that leaves the patch in an economical and safe method. Our observations will allow carvedilol treatment to be optimized by investigating initial drug concentration in the patch and treatment time. This computer model could potentially aid the design of clinical trials testing different patch configurations and treatment times. | <urn:uuid:1b11f0e6-583d-4ecb-a44d-3f13b6b0bf45> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ecommons.cornell.edu/items/38966390-eaca-4a1c-b865-455bc5c931a3 | 2024-04-24T03:38:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.92078 | 631 |
BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF received most of the week’s inflows, amassing $1.6 billion in capital from Feb. 12–16.

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) had another strong week, with net inflows surpassing $2.2 billion from Feb. 12–16. According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, the combined volume was higher than inflows received by any other among the 3,400 ETFs available in the United States.
BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) received the majority of capital, amassing positive flows of $1.6 billion over the week, according to data from BitMEX Research. “$IBIT alone has taken in $5.2b YTD, which is 50% of BlackRock’s total net ETF flows, out of 417 ETFs,” noted Balchunas.
Among the spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs holding billions of dollars in assets, Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund saw significant inflows, attracting $648.5 million over the last five trading sessions. The Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF garnered $405 million during the same period, while the Bitwise Bitcoin ETF pulled $232.1 million in capital inflows.
Outflows from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust are hampering the combined performance of the other newly approved spot Bitcoin ETFs. The fund saw $624 million in withdrawals from Feb. 12–16 as investors continued to sell. Since its conversion from an over-the-counter product to a spot ETF on Jan. 10, Grayscale’s fund has seen over $7 billion in capital outflows.
The new ETFs are believed to be one of the factors driving Bitcoin’s recent price gains. The cryptocurrency is up 91% in the past four months, supported by market sentiment surrounding the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Jan. 10.
During the week, Bitcoin gained nearly 7% and is trading at $51,434 at the time of writing, climbing 24% in February.
Major banks and financial institutions are also taking notice of the new ETFs. In a Feb. 14 letter, a trade group coalition representing Wall Street’s biggest firms requested the SEC to consider modifications to the Staff Accounting Bulletin 121, which provides guidance around accounting for crypto asset custody obligations. The revision would allow banks to act as custodians of the BTC funds. | <urn:uuid:b2875b46-6ea9-4e29-b3a1-04688a593644> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://economicjournalmag.com/bitcoin-etfs-post-2-2b-net-inflows-in-a-week/ | 2024-04-24T03:46:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.935755 | 537 |
Realtime data collection in action
Real-time data capture in surveys is a powerful tool that has revolutionised the way Ecosure can collect, monitor and report field data. With cloud-based tablet technology, Esri applications such as Field Maps and Survey123 with Ecosure-designed forms, Ecosure can gather data from remote locations more efficiently and accurately than ever before.
This cloud-based data capture system allows senior staff to track people in the field and to see data that is being collected in real time by other team members and office-based staff. It also enables office personnel to rapidly identify any changes or opportunities for additional data gathering. Data gathered using this digital system can be automatically compiled into summary reports that can be viewed through an interactive ArcGIS Dashboard which is a visual analytics tool allowing users to critically evaluate large datasets. This streamlines the reporting process while also providing clients with up-to-date information of the project’s progress. Not only does real time data capture provide Ecosure with a more reliable, accurate and efficient way to collect field data, it also helps to minimise manual entry mistakes and produces detailed reports quickly. It’s this level of innovation that sets Ecosure apart from competitors and demonstrates our commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology gives them an advantage in delivering surveys efficiently, improving accuracy and ensuring all permitting conditions are met without delay.

Restaurant group is brewing up its own pet project.
The minds behind Tail Chaser Dog Brew hope their target audience laps up their latest business venture—one 12-oz. can at a time. The clean-ingredient brew features beef or chicken bone broth that can be added to dog food to enhance flavor or poured into water bowls for a low-calorie, low-sodium beverage.
Ingredients include beef or chicken bones and water (broth), carrots, cabbage, rice, malt and thyme. “It’s a really clean label,” says Edina’s Luke Derheim, one of the owners behind the brand, along with Minnetonka’s David Benowitz.
Other Tail Chaser owners include John Mihajlov, who co-owns Finnegans Brew Co. in Minneapolis, along with Jacquie Berglund, Finnegan’s founder and co-owner. The brew is made at and distributed out of Finnegans.
Is Tail Chaser a novelty item? Is the product only feeding into pet owners’ penchant for humanizing their pets? The answer is no if considering the shelf-stable ingredients. Derheim explains that the bone broth, rice and cabbage aid in dogs’ digestion. Thyme helps improve pet breath odor. The water, while obviously assisting with hydration, can aid dogs with food texture concerns (It happens.) or older pets suffering from tender dental issues. As a food topper, the brew softens dry dog food, making chewing easier.
Derheim and Benowitz are also part of the ownership team of Craft & Crew Hospitality (Dukes’s on 7 in Minnetonka; The Bar Draft House in Hastings; The Block Food + Drink in St. Louis Park; The Howe Daily Kitchen & Bar in Minneapolis; Pub 819 in Hopkins; and Stanley’s Northeast Bar Room in Minneapolis). Their restaurant experience is important to the story of how Tail Chaser got its start. “We really thought there was a market for it,” Derheim says. “We see how much people spend on their pets at our restaurants.”
Each of the restaurants has tapped into the market with dog-friendly, heated Pawtios and menus for the canines to enjoy while their two-legged friends enjoy meals and beverages off another menu. And if you doubt the success of a menu that features “dogs drink free Tuesdays” and eight menu items, the 100,000th meal was served to some lucky “good boy or gal” in 2022 after seven years of offering a menu that caters to the canine set. “Our dog food sales on our Pawtios have also increased every year since we launched our dog menu in 2016,” Benowitz says. “We know there is a target market, and people love to spoil their dogs.”
Knowing there is a market for a product isn’t enough to garner success in the retail game—there are other important ingredients. “A lot of planning and conversations went into launching this product. It takes a dedicated team to get a dog product like Tail Chaser to have the visibility we are seeing now,” Benowitz says. “We had many people at the beginning tell us not to launch this product or that it wouldn’t work. However, we kept pursuing aggressively and meeting with everyone we could in the pet space and have now found some great partners. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, so the stress levels for the most part have been relatively low.”
He adds: “Feedback has been really positive since we launched in 2022. We have regulars who come in with their dogs now and purchase Tail Chaser weekly.”
Where to Buy
Tail Chaser is available online ($17.99/eight pack) and locally at Chuck & Don’s, Cub and Lunds & Byerlys ($10.99/four pack). Craft & Crew venues sell it for $4/can. Product is also available in North Dakota and Wisconsin. | <urn:uuid:d145f2c2-90fa-4b66-8a6a-461307bbd663> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://edinamag.com/fetch-new-kind-drink-tail-chaser-dog-brew/ | 2024-04-24T02:18:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.956505 | 848 |

Static Control Seminars and Training Resources
To keep your team informed and aware, contact Electrostatic Answers to schedule static control seminars. My seminars and training videos are informative training sessions that help you better understand static electricity and how to control it.
Electrostatics is governed by scientific fundamentals. The rock-solid technical foundation dates back over two thousand years to Thales of Miletus, who made the first entries in the Triboelectric series (a ranking of materials according to their tendency to gain or lose electrons). Solving a static problem involves measuring static to diagnose the problem, and this requires you to apply the fundamentals and implement effective solutions. | <urn:uuid:50542f3f-5c48-4e09-b74b-ad8091d5aaea> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://electrostaticanswers.com/training-videos-and-seminars/ | 2024-04-24T03:42:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.90801 | 132 |

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel called Sen. Elizabeth Warren a “total fraud” Monday, the day the Massachusetts Democrat announced she was forming a presidential exploratory committee.
In a fiery statement from the RNC, McDaniel called out Warren for her “phony claim to minority status,” referencing Warren’s claims that she is part Native American, also calling her an “extreme far-left obstructionist and a total fraud.” McDaniel also said she is confident President Donald Trump would defeat Warren in 2020 if she decides to run.
“Senator Warren couldn’t be more out of touch,” McDaniel said. “With her lack of support from voters – including in her home state – on top of her phony claim to minority status, now that she is formally running Americans will see her for what she is: another extreme far-left obstructionist and a total fraud. Voters know President Trump’s agenda gets results and they will make their voices heard at the ballot box in 2020.”
This all comes as Warren announced Monday that she is officially forming a presidential exploratory committee in a bid to run for president in 2020 against Trump.
Warren made her first national political move by donating $5,000 to every state Democratic Party throughout the U.S. in March, hinting at a possible 2020 presidential bid. | <urn:uuid:1602be73-34c6-4f19-b8b3-691c41d7bae6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://en-volve.com/2018/12/31/rnc-weighs-in-on-elizabeth-warren-2020-speculations-and-its-brutal/ | 2024-04-24T03:33:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.968336 | 288 |

Sleeping Patterns and Bone Health
Improving our sleep quality can have a positive impact on everything from motor skills to weight control. Did you know that a good night’s sleep can influence bone health?
Our bones are constantly being repaired. Mature bone tissue is regularly removed from our skeleton and replaced with new bone tissue. This is known as bone remodeling or bone metabolism.
Bone remodeling regulates bone repair in addition to maintaining bone strength, flexibility, and density. Whether our bones are weakened by micro-damage from everyday activities or fractured by a traumatic injury, bone remodeling responds by reshaping or replacing damaged bone structure. A disruption in the bone remodeling process can result in metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis.
Sleep deprivation may have an effect on our bone remodeling function, according to recent research. Researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin discovered a link between chronic sleep deprivation and abnormalities in bone and bone marrow development. Sleep deprivation caused a dramatic imbalance in bone growth in laboratory animals.
Sleep-deprived animals stopped forming new bone, and the bone they did have lost density over time. Sleep deprivation also had an effect on bone marrow, resulting in decreased bone flexibility. Bone flexibility is critical for fracture prevention.
According to the findings of the study, sleep deprivation may also have an effect on bone remodeling in humans. Life moves quickly, and many of us are dealing with stresses that can make it difficult to sleep well. Chronic sleep problems may play a role in the gradual loss of bone density and the development of osteoporosis as we age.
We all know that getting a good night’s sleep is essential for overall health and productivity during the day. We now have another reason to practice good sleep habits: a good night’s sleep may help keep our bones healthy and strong. | <urn:uuid:44471bd7-3e36-4d6f-ac32-f350612c37a6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://en.llcig.com/sleeping-patterns-and-bone-health/ | 2024-04-24T02:29:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.946617 | 373 |

How do older people get onto the Internet? How do they benefit from it? These questions were answered at a symposium in Bern which wrapped up the TAO project.
Under the banner of TAO, UNU-MERIT (research and training centre of the United Nations University and Maastricht University) organized an open international workshop for online senior communities in Maastricht, the Netherlands. New strategies to promote online senior communities were discussed.
How can we help people to use the Internet so it’s really useful for their everyday life? This was the central question discussed at the TAO Workshop in Ulm. | <urn:uuid:b3c583cd-fda9-4ec0-aa87-aa9437df3041> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/TAO/Meetings | 2024-04-24T02:46:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.872321 | 536 |
The ABC understands that China is on track to lift tariffs of up to 200 per cent on Australian wine at the end of March after Trade Minister Don Farrell met with his Chinese counterpart Wang Wentao.
The two ministers held a meeting on the sidelines of a World Trade Organisation conference in Abu Dhabi on Monday night, where they discussed the tariffs, among other issues.
Don Farrell meets with his Chinese counterpart Wang Wentao in Abu Dhabi in February 2024
In 2020, as part of the diplomatic fallout over investigations into the origin of COVID-19, China slapped hefty tariffs and trade restrictions onseveralAustralian industries, effectively halting exports from those sectors to China.
Most of those restrictions have now been removed, but theyremainon wine, lobster and some abattoirs.
Australia raised a dispute with the World Trade Organization (WTO) over the wine tariffs, before suspending it last October after China agreed to hold its own five month review, with the expectation it would remove the tariffs during that period.
The ABC has learned that during the high level meeting overnight the Chinese commerce minister indicated to Mr Farrell that the review was on track to conclude next month, with the wine tariffs to be lifted.
No indication was given on when China's remaining trade restrictions on lobster or beef would be lifted.
It will be welcome news for the wine industry, which washit hardby the tariffs of up to 200 per cent, with China then the industry's biggest export market, accounting for 40 per cent of the value of Australian wine exports. | <urn:uuid:abae91ee-6afb-4425-92b4-7d91a4d43cd9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://en.winesinfo.com/html/2024/2/189-87022.html | 2024-04-24T02:19:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.959748 | 311 |
Looking forward - 2015 Vancouver Taiwanese Student Clubs Event Highlights
Before the lunch reception, each student club was asked to prepare a brief report and speak on three topics: the most successful event(s) that the student club hosted; possible events or activities they could co-organize with other student clubs, and finally suggestions for improvements and ideas for next year’s events.
The student clubs already have many events in place to broaden the general understanding of Taiwan and its culture locally. For example the very well-established annual Vancouver Taiwanese Film Festival (TWFF) was begun by UBC’s Literature Etc. student club and is now in its 8th year. The student club is in charge of everything: selecting the six films to be screened each year, chosen based on that year’s theme, film copyright inquiries, publicity, opening and closing events, and so on.
The student club members are part of the younger generation and are highly motivated to get involved in increasing Canadian people’s awareness of Taiwan. The clubs already have several events lined up for people to enjoy in 2015, including the Taiwanese Graduate Students Association’s Taiwanese film night, featuring KANO, UBC’s New Taiwanese Generation’s NTGx Taiwanese student exchange program, and UBC Reality Club’s Annual All-you-can-eat Night Market event.
The Taiwanese Graduate Students Association has successfully invited the film KANO, the 2014 popular Taiwanese baseball film based on a true story, to come to Vancouver as one of the stops in its North America screening tour. The film screenplay artist Wei Te-Sheng (魏德聖), who directed the infamous Taiwanese films Cape No. 7, and Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale, agreed to give a short talk analyzing this particular film in January, 2015.
UBC’s New Taiwanese Generation planned to host their 2nd NTGx Taiwanese Student Exchange Program starting in January, and lasting approximately 3 weeks. It brought 16 students from Taiwan to UBC, almost double the number of students compared to last year. The program gives students opportunities to fully immerse themselves in an English-speaking environment. The club’s goal is to inspire students and develop their views of the global market, intercultural society, and overall life experience.
The UBC Reality Club members are the veterans of the night market event! As well as recreating Taiwanese cuisine treats and the bustling night market atmosphere typical of Taiwan, they also planned to incorporate elements of Chinese New Year to introduce different facets of Taiwanese culture to more attendees. | <urn:uuid:61d7ddc6-ff84-4dfa-af04-57ca78e5c740> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://english.moe.gov.tw/fp-13-16431-9C398-1.html | 2024-04-24T02:44:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.96106 | 533 |

18 October 2023 – Health professionals, human rights experts, transgender advocates and parents have slammed a “dangerous and absurd” bill that would ban common forms of gender-affirming care for young people.
The bill was introduced by Senators Alex Antic (Liberal Party), Malcolm Roberts (One Nation), Ralph Babet (UAP) and Matt Canavan (National) to Federal Parliament on Wednesday.
The bill would ban common forms of gender affirming care for young people, including puberty blockers and hormonal treatments, and cancel the registration of health care providers if they deliver that care, including doctors, pharmacists and psychologists.
The bill goes as far as requiring the health practitioners to wean young people off their prescribed medicines.
Equality Australia CEO Anna Brown said the right for young people to access gender-affirming care was supported by major medical bodies in Australia and internationally.
“This bill is dangerous, absurd and an attack on the rights of trans and gender diverse young people to access the health care they desperately need,” she said.
“All the evidence shows that denying young people access to gender affirming care would cause them immeasurable trauma and harm and, in some cases, cost them their lives.
“We have some of the world’s leading clinicians and experts in transgender healthcare in Australia and in hearing over 60 cases regarding gender affirming care, the Family Court has never made a finding that gender affirming care is inappropriate or denied treatment to a young person.”
Ms Brown said the politicisation of essential healthcare for young trans people generated unnecessary and harmful debates about their existence.
“These are deeply personal decisions that should be left to young people, their parents and the doctors treating them. It’s not something that should be up for political debate,” she said.
“Access to healthcare is a basic and fundamental human right.”
Ms Brown pointed to advice former health minister Greg Hunt received in 2020 from the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) that stated withholding or limiting access to gender affirming healthcare would be unethical and have serious impacts on the health and wellbeing of young people.
Mr Hunt subsequently rejected calls for a national inquiry into the treatment of trans and gender diverse children, acknowledging that it could further harm an already vulnerable group.
Dr Portia Predny, Vice President of AusPATH:
“The decision to undergo gender affirming medical care is a personal healthcare decision made by the patient, and in the case of younger people, with the support of their parents.
“It is facilitated by medical and other healthcare professionals who have knowledge, experience and expertise in this field of health care, and treatments are tailored to the individual and their needs.
“In some cases, this includes medical treatments such as hormones and puberty blockers, which are prescribed and monitored by experienced clinicians, following guidelines that have been established through research and clinical evidence, to ensure patient safety.”
“Research suggests that the number of people who detransition after receiving medical and surgical gender affirming treatments is exceedingly small.
“These experiences should not be used as an argument for restricting the access of the majority of gender diverse people to appropriate and necessary medical care.”
Lisa Newey, from PTYE (Parents for Transgender Youth Equity):
“My son would not have survived, let alone thrived, without the support of family, friends and the ability to access gender-affirming care. Being trans is not a “choice” - it is being who you are at your core.
“We should not have to compromise our children’s access to health care for the sake of political opportunism. We as parents should not have to waste time fighting ignorance and intolerance.”
Jeremy Wiggins, CEO of Transcend Australia:
“Families all over Australia tell us time and time again that gender affirming healthcare improved the mental health and physical wellbeing of their transgender children and without it, they fear their child may not still be here.
“To deny young people access to healthcare would be to deny them of their human rights and jeopardise their safety and wellbeing.
“Gender affirming healthcare for transgender young people gives Australian families hope that their children will have a better future.”
LGBTIQ+ Health Australia (LHA) CEO Nicky Bath:
“Gender-affirming care is crucial for the wellbeing of trans and gender-diverse youth, providing them with the opportunity to access life-saving and life-affirming support.
"Studies consistently show that denying access to gender affirming care, and subjecting trans and gender diverse young people to hostility, negatively impacts their mental health. Depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidality rates are a result of barriers to care, discrimination, and stigma.” | <urn:uuid:84bff796-e073-435a-80af-3dd1a7558602> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://equalityaustralia.org.au/doctors-legal-experts-and-parents-slam-dangerous-bill-seeking-to-ban-health-care-for-trans-kids/ | 2024-04-24T02:03:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.965816 | 1,006 |

A review of weed management in wheat using crop competitionView Altmetrics View AltmetricsTools van der Meulen, A. and Chauhan, B. S. (2017) A review of weed management in wheat using crop competition. Crop Protection, 95 . pp. 38-44. ISSN 0261-2194 Full text not currently attached. Access may be available via the Publisher's website or OpenAccess link. Article Link: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cropro.2016.08.004 AbstractWheat occupies a principal place in the diet of humans globally, contributing more to our daily calorie and protein intake than any other crop. For this reason, preventing weed induced yield losses in wheat has high significance for world food sustainability. Herbicides and tillage play an important role in weed control, but their use has often unacceptable consequences for humans and the wider environment. Additionally, the range of herbicides effective on key weeds is dwindling due to the evolution of herbicide resistance. Elevating crop competitiveness against weeds, through a combination of wheat breeding and innovative planting design (planting density, row spacing and orientation), has strong potential to reduce weed-induced yield losses in wheat. The last decade of research has provided a solid foundation for the breeding of weed suppressive wheat cultivars, and continued research in this area should be a focus for the future. In the interim, there is cause for optimism that weeds can be effectively suppressed using existing wheat varieties, through careful cultivar selection and choice of planting design. Further research is required to define the nature of relationships between cultivar traits and competitive planting strategies, across diverse weed flora in multiple countries, sites and seasons. Investment in such innovation promises to produce benefits, not only in terms of sustained wheat yields, but also in terms of human and ecosystem health, through ameliorating chemical and sediment contamination, soil degradation, and CO2 pollution.

Full Stack Web Development Director
King of Backend
John Vaughan is the man, the myth, the legend at Estland who works behind the scenes, updating and repairing websites for streamlined performance. Many of our clients haven’t met John, but if your website operates seamlessly, you have him to thank. He is a senior member of the Estland team, working with the brand since almost the very beginning to ensure websites are functional, accessible and fast. “Full stack” means John tackles both the back end of your system (servers, databases, internal architecture) AND the front end of websites (everything viewers can see and interact with). That skill set makes him a truly invaluable resource for our team.
John grew up in Virginia Beach, a military town where dreaming of being an Air Force pilot is standard operating procedure for most children. He was an avid athlete, playing tight end for his high school football team and wrestling in the 171 weight class. While he never joined the military, his childhood dream and athletic experience fostered a deep respect for teamwork and the benefits of working together towards a common goal.
Before attending James Madison University for computer science, John worked for a small audio and video installation company. Gaining hands-on experience running cables and installing hardware for movie theaters, warehouses and department stores gave him tactical skills that would prove invaluable to his work as a developer. Shortly after graduating, he took on a grant-funded position that included developing gamified multimedia applications for English and second language learners, and he wrote a content management system for teachers. During his career, he has expanded his professional skills and learned to manage tight deadlines and budgets with ease.
My favorite animal is a Quokka because they make everyone smile.
John is most passionate about creating web automations for clients to give them more time in their day to follow their passions.

“There is simply no other instrument which consistently gives you the range of tone, the quality and depth, the beauty and power that a Steinway does. It can provide the delicacy needed for Mozart or the awesome power needed for Rachmaninov. It projects in the largest concert halls or can be played in the most intimate surroundings. For me, Steinway pianos are a constant joy and the perfect medium through which to make music; what's more, the technical support offered by Steinways around the World is second to none.

The Funeral Tribute Template for a Daughter provides a structured format to help you convey your heartfelt sentiments.
Ladies and gentlemen, family and friends, we gather here today to celebrate the life of Cherie, who, although she has left us in body, continues to live on in spirit and in our hearts. Cherie was an incredible daughter, sister, mother of four, grandmother of four, and a beloved aunt. Her indomitable spirit touched all of us, and we are forever changed because of her love.
As I stand before you, I can't help but think of the words in Colossians 3:15 - "And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." In reflecting upon Cherie's life, it is clear that she embodied the spirit of this verse, as she touched the lives of those around her in ways that brought peace, joy, and, above all, love.
Cherie lived life to the fullest, embracing every adventure that came her way with open arms. She created moments worth cherishing with family, friends, and even during those times when she found herself alone. Her contagious laugh, exceptional warmth, and undeniable generosity of spirit, served as a beacon for those lucky enough to know her.

Cherie was a spitfire, a woman who never hesitated to push the envelope and was always eager to face her next challenge. Her strength and courage were truly awe-inspiring, while her resolute determination kept her firmly grounded.
Yet, it is not only her fearlessness or her strong will that made Cherie so unique, for she had a heart overflowing with love, compassion, kindness, and grace. She was a woman who made the impossible possible, striding fearlessly through life while also lifting others onto her shoulders, and it is because of her that we stand here today.
As we remember Cherie, we should also remember that the love we shared with her can never be truly extinguished. Rather, it is imprinted onto our very souls, guiding us forward as we continue our own journeys, forever joined with her in spirit.
Though our hearts may be heavy with grief, let us find solace in the indelible mark that Cherie has left upon this world. Her legacy shall live on through her children and grandchildren, their lives forever awash in the love and warmth that Cherie so generously bestowed upon them.
As Cherie's daughter, I am incredibly proud of the woman she was and the impact she had on all those who were fortunate enough to know and love her. Thank you, each and every one of you, for being here today to honor and remember Cherie. Let us go forth and live our own lives with the same fierce passion, the same boundless love, and the same fearless determination that Cherie exemplified each and every day. Let us ensure that her extraordinary spirit endures within us, inspiring us to carry on her legacy, making her proud as she watches over us from up above.
Rest in peace, my beautiful mother, and may the peace of Christ rule in our hearts, as we cherish the memories we shared and the countless lessons you have taught us. We love you, and we will never forget you. | <urn:uuid:48efac80-f059-47bd-b734-8d29a68ef75f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://eulogyassistant.com/funeral-tribute-template-for-a-daughter-cherie/ | 2024-04-24T03:56:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.972961 | 696 |

England_IA Britain_&_Ireland_BA 0.555±0.172 Hallstatt 0.445±0.172 chisq 18.513 tail prob 0.100973 Full outputHowever, the really important thing about this output is that England_IA cannot be modeled as simply Britain_&_Ireland_BA (the chisq and tail prob are way off). Thus, even though the Hallstatt samples from Bylany don't appear to be ideal proxies for the admixture in England_IA that is lacking in Britain_&_Ireland_BA, the signal they produce does suggest that a closely related population arrived in the British Isles during or after the Bronze Age to give rise to England_IA.

The Hallstatt effect (?)
Just to see what would happen, I ran a subset of the highest coverage Bronze Age samples from what are now Britain and Ireland in my new Celtic vs Germanic Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Look for the Britain_&_Ireland_BA cluster. The relevant datasheet is available here.
Perhaps it's not a coincidence that the likely Celtic-speaking Iron Age individuals from present-day England (labeled England_IA) are positioned between these older British and Irish samples and the two ancients from Iron Age burials in present-day Bylany, Czechia, associated with the Hallstatt culture (marked with black stars). That's because the Hallstatt people are generally considered to have been the earliest speakers of Celtic languages.
Hence, what the PCA might be showing is a genetic shift in the British and Irish Isles caused by the arrival of Hallstatt Celts in Northwestern Europe.
Interestingly, the present-day English samples appear to be a mixture of Britain_&_Ireland_BA, England_IA and England_Anglo-Saxon. However, a subset of these samples is also heavily shifted "east" towards one of the Hallstatt individuals and present-day Dutch, suggesting that they harbor extra admixture from continental Europe.
This isn't easy to make out on my plot, because of the clutter, but I can assure you that it's true. Keep in mind that you can plug the datasheet into the PAST program (freely available here) to have a much closer look at the PCA and even change the color coding.
To check whether England_IA can be modeled as a mixture of Britain_&_Ireland_BA and Hallstatt with formal methods, I ran an analysis with the qpAdm software using all of the publicly available Bronze Age samples from present-day Britain and Ireland. The standard errors are high, likely because Britain_&_Ireland_BA and Hallstatt are closely related, but, overall, we can probably say that the model does limp across the line. | <urn:uuid:a0a5b721-b997-42c3-adfd-18e968158145> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://eurogenes.blogspot.com/2018/09/the-hallstatt-effect.html?m=0 | 2024-04-24T01:58:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.943135 | 606 |
US President Joe Biden’s administration plans to ask Congress for more than $2 billion in assistance for Ukraine and Israel, according to US national security advisor Jake Sullivan.
In an interview with CBS, Sullivan said the US continues providing Ukraine with critically important weapons to repel Russian attacks.
“But we need Congress to act. And the President has made clear that he is going to go to Congress with a package of funding for Ukraine as well as continued support for Israel,” Sullivan stated.
Sullivan indicated intensive engagement with Congress could come this week as the administration works on the aid package and seeks bipartisan backing. When asked if the amount totals $2 billion, combining aid for Ukraine, Israel, border protection, and Taiwan support, he replied the sum would be “significantly higher.”
“But it will, as I said, certainly include the necessary military equipment to defend freedom, sovereignty, and territorial integrity in Ukraine and to help Israel defend itself as it fights its terrorist foes.” the advisor added.
Earlier media reports said Biden would unveil his request for supplemental Ukraine and Israel funding next week. | <urn:uuid:03226dba-5840-48ca-bf35-59682f5d8a21> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://euromaidanpress.com/2023/10/15/biden-to-push-israel-ukraine-aid-package-over-2-billion/ | 2024-04-24T02:46:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.965545 | 230 |
Rare book seller Peter Harrington lists as new arrivals several presentation copies of books given to Robert and Angela Laycock. Robert was one of Waugh’s commanding officers in WWII. The first is a series of four copies of books sent to Angela (including three of Love Among the Ruins (1953)), with ever increasing frustration expressed by Waugh at not receiving a thank you note. These are described as follows:
A sequence of presentation copies chronicling Waugh’s humorous attack on Angie Laycock’s unresponsiveness when sent an inscribed copy of the book. The first book Waugh sent was number 29 of the deluxe issue of 350 large paper copies, inscribed by him on the limitation leaf, “For Darling Angie the Beardless Beauty, with love from Evelyn”. Laycock failed to respond to this presentation, and so Waugh sent her a copy of the first edition, trade issue. On the front free endpaper, he drew a snake in red and black ink and wrote in capitals, “I am a very austere snake. I don’t like editions de luxe. Give me the people’s edition & maybe I shall thank you”. When this was ignored, Waugh subjected another copy of the trade edition to violence, removing the front board and large portions of the dust jacket and soiling and tearing the contents. A snake in black ink graces the verso of the title page, where Waugh has written, “I’m a rough tough kind of snake. This is how I like books to be”. Finally, when no response was forthcoming, Waugh sent Laycock a blank book bound in red cloth. On the first leaf he drew an elaborately detailed snake and wrote “This edition is limited to one copy numbered, and signed by the author. No One” with “Anon” as the signature. In the blank spaces between the snakes coils he inscribed, “I am a simple little serpent. This is the only kind of book I can read”.
The “beardless beauty” in the inscription refers to the heroine in the novella. Photos of the inscriptions and drawings can be viewed at the link above the quote. The price for all four is £17,500.
Also on offer is a presentation copy of Basil Seal Rides Again (1963), inscribed “for Bob with love to Angie, Evelyn.” There were no subsequent copies, so either Bob must have sent a thank you note for this one, or, perhaps, Waugh did not expect one from him. The price is £3,750. | <urn:uuid:453f2ff9-b899-4a03-89a8-dd6935cd4495> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://evelynwaughsociety.org/2016/laycock-presentation-copies-for-sale/ | 2024-04-24T03:10:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.953451 | 553 |
This is America
- May 15, 2018
- Heather Moore
The internet has been in an uproar. While Donald Glover was hosting Saturday Night Live he unexpectedly dropped a new music video from his hip-hop persona Childish Gambino, This Is America. It has 92 million views in less than a week, sparking debate and vigorous attempts to interpret the social meaning of the video. Directed by Hiro Murai, a frequent director on Glover’s FX show Atlanta, the camera follows Childish Gambino as he dances his way through a series of viscerally intense scenarios. The scenes depict Glover’s experience of being a black man in America, raising conversations around gun violence, black entertainment, the socializing of black children, protests, poverty, and more. (The video contains two brief scenes of shocking violence, a marijuana joint, and one curse word, all handled with artistic value.) For a thorough breakdown of the themes of the video without the moments of violence, go here.
From my vantage point as a white female viewer, I was most struck by This Is America’s use of distraction and redirection. The first time I watched the video I was captured by Gambino’s dance moves and expressions. The background action is often intentionally out of focus, making it that much easier to only notice the entertainment and ignore the chaos taking place behind him. Multiple times Gambino is surrounded by teenage school children, dancing in perfect synchronization with smiles on their faces. To be quite frank, my first thoughts were, “Wow, Donald Glover is actually a really good dancer!” For me that was a major part of the genius of the video. As a casual viewer I immediately fell into the trap of only being entertained without wrestling with the deeper themes of racism and violence in America. In so doing I was confronted with my willingness to only notice things that are pleasant to watch while tuning out harsh realities that lead to feelings of discomfort or sorrow. Is that not a widespread temptation in our society today? To be pleased when we are comfortable and angry when we are confronted with things we would rather ignore?
As I watched the video a few more times, I was soon reminded of the Old Testament prophets. From Isaiah to Malachi, the role of the prophets was to proclaim God’s word to God’s people. God spoke through the prophets over and over again to call the people away from sinful disobedience and back to God’s covenant relationship. The people continually fell into all kinds of destructive practices that were eroding their society. The prophets would call out the sins of the people, commanding them to return to the Lord before they became past the point of no return. There was always an assurance of restoration, God’s perfect balance of justice and mercy. God would act in response to violence and exploitation of the vulnerable, and would always seek the good of the people. Let’s look at a few of the prophetic exhortations:
The word of the Lord came to me:
2 “Son of man, will you judge her (Jerusalem)? Will you judge this city of bloodshed? Then confront her with all her detestable practices 3 and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: You city that brings on herself doom by shedding blood in her midst and defiles herself by making idols, 4 you have become guilty because of the blood you have shed and have become defiled by the idols you have made. You have brought your days to a close, and the end of your years has come. Therefore I will make you an object of scorn to the nations and a laughingstock to all the countries. 5 Those who are near and those who are far away will mock you, you infamous city, full of turmoil. 29 The people of the land practice extortion and commit robbery; they oppress the poor and needy and mistreat the foreigner, denying them justice. ~ Ezekiel 22:1-5, 29
“My people, what have I done to you?
How have I burdened you? Answer me.10 Am I still to forget your ill-gotten treasures, you wicked house,
and the short scales, which is accursed?
11 Shall I acquit someone with dishonest scales,
with a bag of false weights?
12 Your rich people are violent;
your inhabitants are liars
and their tongues speak deceitfully. ~ Micah 6:3, 10-1227 Like cages full of birds,
their houses are full of deceit;
they have become rich and powerful
28 and have grown fat and sleek.
Their evil deeds have no limit;
they do not seek justice.
They do not promote the case of the fatherless;
they do not defend the just cause of the poor.
29 Should I not punish them for this?”
declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge myself
on such a nation as this?11 They dress the wound of my people
as though it were not serious.
“Peace, peace,” they say,
when there is no peace. ~ Jeremiah 5:27-29, 8:118 And the word of the Lord came again to Zechariah: 9 “This is what the Lord Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. 10 Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. Do not plot evil against each other.’
11 “But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly they turned their backs and covered their ears. 12 They made their hearts as hard as flint and would not listen to the law or to the words that the Lord Almighty had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets. So the Lord Almighty was very angry. ~ Zechariah 7:8-12
Stubbornly they turned their backs and covered their ears. America is not the nation of Israel, and to my knowledge Glover profess a Christian faith, but This Is America is tapping into some universal biblical truth. The prophets frantically tried to hold a mirror up to Israel to show them where their comfort and self-indulgence were resulting in the dismantling of their society. Those themes are echoed in this modern expression. The video confronts its viewers with the ways that our desires for comfort and excess are causing us to ignore the marginalized, allowing violence to go unchecked.
It is also fitting that this call is coming in the form of a music video that makes use of symbols and extreme imagery. God frequently commanded the prophets to physically act out behaviors that were metaphorical for Israel. Hosea marries a prostitute who cheats on him and runs out on him. Yet Hosea pursues her and brings her home, symbolizing in a powerful way God’s love and pursuit of an unfaithful people (Hos. 1-3). Ezekiel builds a mini replica of the siege of Jerusalem and lies on his side for 390 days, then his other side for 40 days to symbolize God’s judgment on Israel and Judah. He is given instructions to make a specific bread with specific daily rations, indicating that the people would eat “unclean bread” during the Babylonian exile (Ez. 4). Jeremiah is commanded to buy a linen belt, place it in the cleft of a rock by the Euphrates and leave it for several days. He then went and retrieved it, revealing that it was now ruined as a garment in the same way that Israel had become worthless in their disobedience to God (Jer. 13). He is also commanded to break a clay jar to symbolize God breaking all their tools of idolatry (Jer. 19).
God is a brilliant communicator who understands that as humans, just being told something does not always mean that it will sink in. Sometimes we have to see it acted out in order for the gravity of a situation to become real. In a very similar style, This Is America puts forth jarring representations of uncomfortable realities in a way that causes them to be unavoidable.
All good art elicits a reaction. The question now is whether our reactions can move past cultural decoder rings and into hearts softened by compassion and repentance. The prophets were notoriously hated and often martyred. Anyone bearing a message that the public does not want to hear is putting themselves at risk. Will we be better listeners than those that came before us? Will we listen when confronted with experiences we may not all share but which call us to active engagement? Will we hear the cries of the prophets that echo across time and place? I pray that we will respond, not just to modern art, but to God’s timeless love of justice and mercy. | <urn:uuid:5ccbf500-f6f1-41e6-8feb-57cb46f4a3f3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://everydayexiles.com/this-is-america/ | 2024-04-24T02:24:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.972847 | 1,793 |
