Chris Ross on San Miguel’s upset of Northport: ‘We have Arwind Santos’
The San Miguel Beermen showed resiliency against a tough and higher-seeded Northport Batang Pier crew, concluding their series with a pulsating 90-88 victory on Wednesday which allowed them to advance to the PBA Commissioner’s Cup semi-finals.
After blowing a double-digit 4th quarter lead and trailing by 4, 82-86 with 1:51 to go, the Beermen were saved by the heroics of Arwind Santos, who made 5 straight points including a tough triple.
Santos finished with 10 poinsts and 10 boards and ultimately helped his team to keep their season alive.
Chris Ross was one of those who took notice of Santos’ clutch plays, saying: “Luckily, we have Arwind Santos. I don’t know how many time he’s made that shot from that spot. He scored five straight points.”
Santos gave San Miguel an 87-86 lead then Robert Bolick scored another lay-up on the other end. Then, Chris McCullough came through for the Beermen with a go-ahead basket in the end.
Santos himself felt fortunate, detailing that being the 7th seed was a different look for a powerhouse team like the Beermen.
San Miguel will battle the winner of Blackwater-Rain or Shine. | <urn:uuid:35e63e53-7353-4333-8c63-73570aea12c3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ourdailynewsonline.com/2019/07/25/chris-ross-on-san-miguels-upset-of-northport-we-have-arwind-santos/ | 2024-04-24T02:59:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.968697 | 299 |
I recently got inspired by this video by a group called Hands on History:
Essentially the group does hiking trips while carrying/wearing only items such as Viking people would have carried back in the day. I.e. leather boots, woolen tunics, furs, etc. They even carry exclusively historic trail food.
Being a history/reenactment/Live Action Role Playing Game enthusiast this has great appeal to me.
Would questions surrounding such historic outdoors adventures be on-topic here?
I'd be especially interested in all topics surrounding gear, e.g. what kind of clothes/cloaks to use for rain protection, ...
What makes this question different from this one is that I'm more interested in older history, e.g. medieval or ancient Roman context. I.e. especially periods where outdoorsmanship in and of itself wasn't yet a thing and sources/documentation thus might be harder to come by. | <urn:uuid:3fc379d0-4aca-4ba8-8506-2dca97119fa3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://outdoors.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1072/would-questions-about-historic-outdoorsmanship-be-on-topic-here/1073 | 2024-04-24T02:55:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.956758 | 194 |

Frequently asked questions
Headlines last week spoke of “Covid vaccine by Xmas from GPs”. What does this mean for me?
Whilst we certainly would want to be involved in any vaccination campaign, we don’t have any information ourselves yet and contrary to media reports no ‘deals’ have yet been done, but we expect more information soon.
Will you be getting paid to vaccinate us?
GPs hold a contract with the NHS to provide certain services. The money from that contract pays for the building, the heating and electricity, the nurses, receptionists and staff, clinical equipment and a variety of other expenses that go with providing services to patients.
If the government wants GPs to do something new, (e.g. deliver a new vaccine) it will buy that service from the GP to pay for the extra staff, clinics and hours to cover expenses. It is very unlikely that GPs will make a profit out of the Covid vaccine. Based on current information they may make a loss, but recognise that it is the right thing to do for their patients and communities.
But what we don’t know, if what we might have to consider stop doing, to free up time to provide this vaccination service, given that we are working at 150% compared with this time last year, according to our LMC’s survey.
But isn’t it just like a flu jab?
No, not by a long stretch.
Flu jabs are delivered in their own little syringes, and kept refrigerated. They can safely last in a vaccine fridge for several months. We can keep them and use them, either in dedicated flu clinics or opportunistically if we see you for something else. We can run the clinics a bit like a conveyor belt, as I’m sure many of you will have experienced. We can get a large number of people vaccinated in a very short period of time. People then leave the practice immediately. Once a year, job done.
So what’s different about a new Covid vaccine compared with the flu jab?
These new vaccines are not yet ready, and we don’t know when they will be. They are completely different. They need to be stored frozen in special dry ice, colder than a home freezer (about -70°C). Surgeries don’t have those freezers. So they will be delivered whilst they are defrosting for use. However they can inky be stored in a vaccine fridge for a few days before expiring. They don’t come in their own little syringes. We will have to carefully draw them up from a main vial, dilute and mix them for each individual which will probably take from start to finish about 20 minutes, needing two members of staff (one to draw up, one to check – this is established safe practise with these preparations to minimise error). Once the patient has received their Covid-jab they must wait for 15 minutes to ensure no serious reaction -these vaccines are brand new, and whilst there is a huge regulatory framework to ensure their safety, we will have to take extra care. This in itself will be difficult as we have to maintain social distancing and we don’t know how quickly these clinics will take place. It will be nowhere near as quick as a flu clinic.
Will this be at my local GP surgery?
To begin with, NHS England thinks that areas will have one central Covid-jab centre. This might be in a local practice. It might be yours, it might not. You may have to travel. How the chosen centre will continue to look after its patients ongoing and urgent health needs, we don’t yet know. No details of those plans have been shared yet.
Is it just one jab?
No. You will need two. They will be 3-4 weeks apart but you must not have had any other vaccinations in the previous week.
How many patients will get it the vaccine when it’s ready?
Government says it wants 40 million people vaccinated (that’s 80 million appointments). Putting that into context, every year there are 40 million A&E attendances and 360 million GP appointments. This is going to take a long time. There are no spare GPs or practice nurses. We don’t yet know how we are going to plan for this on top of what we are doing now – managing hundreds of acute and chronic patients every day: on the phone, over video and being brought into the surgery by invitation.
Will it be available by Christmas?
No one knows. But if it is, there will be a very small number of doses and we think the Government might suggest protecting Care Home residents first.
Whatever you read in the paper or online, don’t forget – this is going to be very difficult. We need to make sure there is a safe system and a safe vaccine first.
Even when it comes, it won’t prevent Covid, it will only make its effects milder. So please bear with us – we are in the dark too.
And there is still every reason to think ‘Hands, Space, Safe’ for a long time to come. | <urn:uuid:598c2ae1-5062-4bc8-b2a7-a72d876918de> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://oversurgery.nhs.uk/covid-19-vaccine-faqs/ | 2024-04-24T02:24:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.962753 | 1,149 |

List of countries where cryptocurrencies are legal and illegal
Cryptocurrency has become a widely acceptable means of payment with greater capacity and faster settlement than other traditional financial structures.
It is a digital currency that can be used to buy goods and services but uses an online ledger with strong cryptography to secure online transactions.
Cryptocurrency market was started by the group or individual known as Santoshi Nakamoto.
Bitcoin, which is the most popular cryptocurrency, alongside Ethereum (Ether) – is a digital currency that debuted in 2009.
In 2008, during the global financial crisis a white paper called Bitcoin – A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System was released. It was made for people to control their money themselves.
Bitcoins are not issued, endorsed or regulated by any central bank but are rather created through a computer-generated process known as mining.
However, there are no uniform international laws that regulate its use.
The Central Bank of Nigeria, in a circular on Friday, February 5, directed banks to close accounts of persons or entities involved in cryptocurrency transactions within their systems.
Aside from being the biggest crypto market on the African continent, in terms of trade volume, Nigeria is the second biggest bitcoin market in the world after the United States.
Here are countries where Cryptocurrency trading is legal and illegal according to Checks by The Nation:
While the United States of America, Australia, Canada, and the European Union (27 countries) have accepted its usage by working to prevent or reduce the use of digital currencies for illegal transactions, cryptocurrencies remain banned in China, Russia, Vietnam, Bolivia, Columbia, and Ecuador.
China – The People’s Bank of China, which is China’s central financial regulatory authority, placed a ban on all domestic and foreign cryptocurrency exchanges in the country in 2017.
Bolivia – In 2014, the central bank of Bolivia, issued a ban on bitcoin and every other currency not regulated by states, countries, and economic areas.
Morocco – Morocco’s foreign exchange office and central bank prohibits the use of cryptocurrency for transactions in the country. Any citizen caught engaging in transactions involving the virtual currency will be fined.
Ecuador – Bitcoin and other digital currencies are currently banned by the Ecuadorian government.
Iran – Iran’s central bank in 2018, announced that it was prohibiting all financial institutions, including banks and credit institutions from dealing in cryptocurrency
Bangladesh – In Bangladesh, the use of bitcoin is considered illegal. In 2017, the Bangladesh bank issued a ban on cryptocurrency.
Nepal – In 2017, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies became considered as illegal forms of financial tender in Nepal
Afghanistan – Currently, it is unlawful to possess bitcoin in Afghanistan, and it is not considered as a legal tender in the country. There are no crypto exchanges in the country.
Pakistan – In April 2018, the central bank of Pakistan announced that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are banned in the country, and banks will not facilitate any transaction for them.
Algeria – In December 2017, Algeria passed a law that made bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies entirely illegal. The purchase, sale, use, or even holding cryptocurrency is punishable by the law.
Egypt – “Egypt’s Dar al-Ifta, the primary Islamic legislator in Egypt, issued a religious decree classifying commercial transactions in bitcoin as haram (prohibited under Islamic law).
Cambodia – According to various state authorities, the use and propagation of cryptocurrencies is banned, except if a license is acquired.
Colombia – Whilst there is no specific law banning Bitcoin and Altcoins, the Superintendencia Financiera informed the country’s financial institutions not to assist or work with individuals and companies trading in virtual money operations.
Indonesia – As of 2018, the use of cryptocurrencies for payments became illegal.
Taiwan – All forms of trading or payment with cryptocurrency is banned, as is the installation or use of a Bitcoin ATM.
Saudi Arabia – Considered to be an implicit ban, the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority is outspoken against the use of crypto, describing it as high risk.
The Republic of Macedonia
The United States – The United States has taken a generally positive stance toward Bitcoin, though several government agencies work to prevent or reduce Bitcoin use for illegal transactions.
Canada – Canada maintains a generally Bitcoin-friendly stance while also ensuring the cryptocurrency is not used for money laundering. Bitcoin is viewed as a commodity by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). This means that Bitcoin transactions are viewed as barter transactions, and the income generated is considered as business income.
Australia – Similar to Canada, Australia considers Bitcoin neither money nor a foreign currency

The Fall and Rise of Legal Education in Singapore
Singapore Journal of Legal Studies 201-214
16 Pages Posted: 2 Aug 2017 Last revised: 18 Oct 2017
Date Written: October 17, 2017
Prior to independence, legal education was all but non‐existent in Singapore and many other colonies. This essay briefly discusses that colonial context before going on to describe how the National University of Singapore Faculty of Law came to play an important part in Singapore’s rule of law story as Singapore’s national law school, a global law school, and an Asian law school. A third section considers challenges for the future, including the impact of technology on legal practice and the changing market for legal services. These transformations require us to rethink the purpose of law school, even as they are matched by changes in the students and faculty who enter our classrooms and our offices.

“I love it when a company like Mint Innovation comes along and offers a solution you’d never even thought was possible." John Berry
About this company
Mint Innovation are an Auckland-based clean technology business who have figured out how to extract metals from e-waste.
The world’s leading technology partner for sustainable metal recovery.
What makes this business ethical?
“It’s not just that they don’t dig into the earth to obtain metals. Their carbon footprint is lower than conventional mining, they reduce waste going to landfill and their plants can be built closer to where the metals are needed to reduce transportation - so their solution looks really positive on a number of metrics. And financially, if you can extract these metals profitably then it makes sense to build these plants.” John Berry.

Pathfinder invested in them as an alternative to traditional mining companies and because we recognise that for our society to function, we need a reliable supply of critical metals. We want to support approaches to sourcing those metals that aren’t extractive and are instead more circular and regenerative.
The business is also in the right place at the right time in regards to geopolitics. From an investment perspective, this gives it a tailwind.
The global economy is deglobalising. Countries are putting up barriers, countries are nervous about supply chains, they don’t want to be dependent on some trading partners. That’s why Mint Innovation, with plans to build its plants in a range of countries, offers a smart solution.
It makes sense financially because they can extract the metals at a reasonable price. They have launched their plant in Australia and other countries should welcome the idea as a way of efficiently dealing with mountains of e-waste. | <urn:uuid:59afae08-2698-4175-9531-24383fb2d620> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://pathfinder.kiwi/impact-stories/Mint_innovation/ | 2024-04-24T02:22:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.950797 | 371 |
Building on the insights from our previous post on the use of quaternary ammonium compounds (Quats) as antistatic additives in ESD flooring, this sequel delves into the versatile applications of Quats, spotlighting their role in wood preservation and treatment. While Quats provide a safeguard against electrostatic discharge in sensitive environments, their utility in protecting wood products from decay, pests, and moisture-related damages further exemplifies their broad applicability and effectiveness.
In wood preservation, Quats not only halt decay and infestation but also enhance moisture resistance, crucial for maintaining wood integrity.
Advanced Chemical Properties and Mechanism of Action
Quats function by integrating into the wood's cellular structure, where their antimicrobial properties disrupt the growth and survival of fungi, bacteria, and insects. This mechanism mirrors their role in ESD flooring, where they neutralize static charges, albeit with a biological twist in targeting wood pests and decay agents.
Precision Application in Wood Treatment
Integrating Quats with Wood Preservatives
Quats are seamlessly incorporated into wood preservatives during the manufacturing process, ensuring deep penetration and uniform distribution. This integration can occur in various forms, including:
Pressure Treatment: A highly effective method for industrial-scale wood preservation. Wood is placed in a treatment chamber where Quats are applied under high pressure, ensuring deep penetration into the wood's pores, providing long-lasting protection against decay and pests.
Dip Treatment: Suitable for smaller wood items, this method involves immersing wood in a Quat solution. It's a straightforward technique that ensures the wood surface and shallow depths are treated, ideal for decorative pieces or non-structural elements.
Surface Coating: For already installed wood or where deep penetration isn't necessary, Quats can be applied as a protective surface coating. This method is especially useful for enhancing moisture resistance and adding an additional layer of protection against surface-level threats.
Tailoring the Treatment
The choice of application method depends on the wood's intended use, environmental exposure, and specific vulnerabilities. Precision in the concentration and application technique ensures that the wood retains its natural beauty and structural integrity while being fortified against biological threats.
Benefits and Considerations
- Long-Term Efficacy: Quats provide durable protection, extending the wood's lifespan and reducing the need for frequent maintenance or replacement.
- Environmental Responsibility: With a lower toxicity profile than traditional preservatives, Quats align with sustainable practices, offering a more environmentally friendly choice for wood treatment.
- Technical Application: Ensuring the effectiveness of Quats requires understanding their interaction with different wood species and treatment conditions. Technical expertise is crucial in optimizing their application for maximum protection.
The dual-use of quaternary ammonium compounds in both ESD flooring and wood preservation exemplifies their broad utility across industries. For the technically minded, the application of Quats in wood treatment offers a case study in leveraging chemical properties for material protection. | <urn:uuid:fccd9fc0-6933-4989-a047-7b9cdcc5f4ba> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://patproducts.com/news/quats-in-wood-preservation | 2024-04-24T03:31:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.905837 | 604 |

In every family there are better and worse moments. This is completely normal. If your relationship with your adult child is difficult, then with a little goodwill on both sides it can be repaired.
Relationships are something that needs to be taken care of constantly in the family. Sometimes, in the busyness of other matters, we forget that an untended bond can break down. If this is compounded by distaste after a quarrel (even one so insignificant that we don’t remember the reason for it later), relationships can become difficult.
Such a situation is especially painful if it involves a relationship with a child. What to do in such a situation? Is it possible to repair relations with an adult child? It certainly is. If there were no drastic situations between you, then with good faith on both sides it is possible to rebuild good relations.
Before you start fighting for a good relationship with your child, it is worth realizing that this situation is certainly difficult for him too. An adult child also needs a good relationship with his parents, and leaving aside very complicated and pathological situations, he will certainly, like you, want to try to improve your relationship.
To rebuild a good relationship with an adult child, it is necessary to explain to each other the reasons for the situation. We do not mean, of course, to accuse the other party of ill-will and to reproach mistakes. All evaluative sentences, such as those beginning with “You never”, “You always”, are best left unspoken. Such opinions can only exacerbate the conflict. A much better solution is to honestly confess that the current situation is agonizing for us, that we care about good relations and therefore we apologize for everything we did wrong and forgive what our child said/does wrong. This attitude is an invitation to talk. However, it is important to remember to do it at the right time and in private.
Difficult relationships, unfortunately, cannot be repaired with a single “sorry.” It is, of course, an excellent starting point for further action, but it is not a golden mean that will erase what was wrong. So if both parties want to improve relations, it’s worth thinking about spending time together regularly.
Being active together can make it easier for you to repair a difficult relationship, and will make the whole process less stressful than, say, meeting regularly for coffee and a chat. So, for starters, we suggest going out together (e.g. to the movies, to the pool, shopping, etc.) or doing an activity together – maybe you have a plot of land that could use some attention or a room that needs repainting? Take advantage of the situation and ask your child for help.
Surely you remember very well how exhausting the daily life of parents of young children can be. Therefore, if your child is in just such a situation, then perhaps your relationship has loosened due to a flurry of important matters. It is then worth offering to help, such as taking care of grandchildren. Surely then there will be an opportunity to drink tea and talk together for a while. Relationships are best rebuilt in small steps, so such short but systematic meetings will bring more to your relationship than long and irregular outings together.

As you know within the past 12 months I have sold 2 properties and used you (Peninsula Escrow for both and was so blessed with how easily and smoothly both contracts flowed. I actually forgot that my last property had a glitch, which your team was most helpful in getting things properly communicated in a timely manner so as to keep the closing on track. You and your staff were so kind and thoughtful that I forgot about that problem (which if not corrected could have voided the sale). As we have discussed, pending the market conditions, I’ll hopefully be calling you to handle one more California property for me within the year. | <urn:uuid:6503d2b2-0f5b-4920-95ca-65f7ec1da86b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://penescrow.com/venice-marina-del-rey-branch/ | 2024-04-24T03:57:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.939608 | 362 |
Roger Penrose discovered a way to tile the infinite plane with pentagonal symmetry. The tiling can be expanded indefinitely, but it never repeats. The Wikipedia article on Penrose tiles is a good source of information. In my version, two diamonds are fitted together according to certain rules. These rules only allow eight different vertex configurations. After a tile is added, the code traverses the perimeter of the tiling, using a lookup table to find vertices that demand the addition of a specific tile. You can see how this works by disabling auto-fill and traversing the boundary one tile at a time.
One of the properties of this way of tiling is that legal local modifications may create an illegal tiling at a distant location. You can see this effect by adding a narrow tile to the default white edge six times in a row. Then toggle auto-fill and force the program to traverse the perimeter until the flawed tiling is complete.
You can also create your own illegal tilings by disabling auto-fill and adding tiles one by one.
I built a computer using a Motorola 68008 microprocessor in Tom Hayes' digital electronics class at the Harvard Extension school in 1997 (pictured below). Once I had the thing wired up properly, I programmed it in machine language to draw Penrose tiles on an oscilloscope, with a user interface consisting of the four buttons on the lower right. Later I refined the program using an assembly language interface that downloaded the code onto a RAM chip. The four buttons reset the display to a wide diamond, allowed the user to select an edge on the perimeter of the tiling, and added a wide or narrow diamond to the selected edge. Then the code filled in all the tiles that were determined by the rules. The program was basically a loop that drew a bunch of lines over and over, while the user buttons triggered interrupts and changed the data. My computer was so awesome that it achieved immortality, meaning I didn't have to disassemble it when the class was over.
One of the best books I have ever read is "The Second Kind of Impossible" by Paul Steinhardt. He and others investigated the possibility of a physical crystalline structure based on Penrose tiles. The book describes how he and his collaborators then managed to actually find such a crystal in the far reaches of Siberia. You HAVE to read it.
This program is written in React using the same algorithm as the one I wrote 25 years ago. Lines are drawn using the open source react-lineto package.

I still consider myself quite a noob when it comes to being a DM, so I don't have three table tips to use in response to Hill Canton's GM Challenge Thingy. But there is one that I actually came up with all by myself that seems to work well.
Have players roll their own wandering monster checks.
Not necessarily the ones that happen every fixed number of turns, but the ones that come about as a result of their actions (or inaction).
For example, I usually have a failed open door check trigger a wandering monster check. This actually gives meaning to the failures, and makes it worthwhile to attempt to pick a lock when possible.
Also, the most important one is when the party is standing around in the dungeon while the players are debating a course of action at the table. More than just a little of this, and I ask them to roll a wandering monster check as a result of their bickering in the dungeon corridors.
This lets them know that they need to keep things moving both in game and out. | <urn:uuid:fc324240-caf0-421a-a3bb-0154fe5c6eac> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://peoplethemwithmonsters.blogspot.com/2011/08/my-only-pro-dm-tip.html | 2024-04-24T03:18:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.973497 | 214 |
If you look carefully, you'll notice that race isn't referenced anywhere in the character generation document. I just didn't have room, and I figured we could handle it at the table. But an interesting thing happened that I hadn't anticipated. No one brought it up (with the exception of one player who said, "I want to be a black guy.") Now, this is a group that has a strong love for wacky character races, and I always get flummoxed by the race thing. I like to offer a wide variety of options, but I really don't like trying to sit down and codify special abilities for 30 different races, and that comes from the experience of having done it.
Another thing was this character I made and played at GaryCon. Since it was based off of Necron 99 from the wonderful film Wizards, I had no idea what race it was, and it didn't really matter.
So all of this has led me to believe that perhaps the question isn't race-as-race vs. race-as-class. Maybe it just doesn't matter. Maybe we can just toss race out the window entirely, at least as a mechanical game thing. Sure, you can be a kobold if you want, but it's more about how you look than how you function in the game. I think maybe next time I play a game with my home group where we make new characters, I'll just ask everyone to describe the appearance of their character, or even better - bring a picture! My hope would be that we would get some interesting things that are outside the scope of the traditional D&D stuff, like Necron up there, or something like the group on the title page of the Cook/Marsh Expert rule book, or perhaps something like this guy: | <urn:uuid:ff646471-e724-49c8-8cb8-d69425433f2c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://peoplethemwithmonsters.blogspot.com/2013/04/lets-not-talk-about-race.html?pfstyle=wp | 2024-04-24T03:58:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.988389 | 368 |
This is called the carriers’ powers and immunities framework.
The carriers' powers and immunities framework is important as it allows for the efficient construction and maintenance of telecommunications networks in a nationally consistent way.
Low-impact facilities are telecommunications equipment that:
- are essential to the efficient operation of telecommunications networks
- have low visual impact, and
- are unlikely to cause significant community disruption during installation or operation.
These laws encourage telecommunications carriers to roll out networks using components that fall within strict type, size, colour and location limitations. For example, telecommunications companies use these powers to install pillars and antennae used to deliver landline and mobile communications services to the community.
They do not allow for the construction of larger infrastructure, such as free standing telecommunications towers or poles.
Approvals for the installation of free standing telecommunications towers and poles are the responsibility of state, territory and local governments. Planning laws generally require a development application to be submitted to the local council and for the council to consult on the application. The Government is not involved in state, territory and local government planning processes." - The carriers' powers and immunities framewor, viewed 22 July 2023, https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/media-communications-arts/phone/telecommunications-infrastructure-deployment/carriers-powers-and-immunities-framework

"Australia has strict standards covering acceptable levels of EME from wireless communications. These standards are set by the Australian Radiation Protection andNuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA).
Australia’s strict EME standards were updated by ARPANSA as recently as March 2021, informed by the latest local and international scientific research.
These standards are enforced by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). ACMA checks EME compliance through record audits, investigations, site inspections and testing." - Researched, Regulated & Safe, This factsheet explains the research, regulation and safety of EME from telecommunications in Australia,Download PDF (3.5 MB)
In 2022, telecommunication and digital connectivity are important parts of everyday life and it’s hard to imagine a world without communications technologies as we know them today.
Our experiences through the pandemic meant access to quality and reliable telecommunications services is more important than ever, keeping us connected with family and friends, and enabling many of us to learn and work from home.
While our fixed line internet services stood up well to the pandemic, it has been just as important for telecommunications companies to expand and improve their mobile networks to support our increasing need for digital connectivity.
To make this happen, telecommunications companies often need to install new equipment or deploy new infrastructure in our communities so the services can provide effective coverage and capacity where and when we need it.
It is understandable some people are concerned about the electromagnetic energy (EME) emitted by telecommunications infrastructure, particularly when it is installed nearby in our local communities.
The Australian Government strictly regulates EME emissions to protect the health and safety of all members of the public, while allowing the community to benefit from modern telecommunications.
The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) provides advice to the Australian Government on radiation protection as an independent Government agency that is not affiliated with, or unduly influenced by, the telecommunications industry. In 2021, ARPANSA updated its Standard for Limiting Exposure to Radiofrequency Fields – 100 kHz to 300 GHz (2021) (the Standard), based on the most up-to-date Australian and international peer-reviewed research into EME.
The Standard protects people of all ages and health status against all known adverse health effects from exposure to EME by specifying strict safety limits for exposure levels with which telecommunications services must comply, this includes 5G.
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) sets and actively monitors rules for telecommunications companies to follow based on ARPANSA’s Standard so EME is kept at safe levels. In Australia, all telecommunications infrastructure and equipment must comply with these rules and a series of sanctions can be imposed if these rules aren’t followed.
With these measures in place to ensure that EME exposures from telecommunications infrastructure are below the safety limits, there is no extra safety achieved by requiring transmitters to be located any particular distance from residential areas.
So if there is telecommunications infrastructure near you, not only will you be able to access more reliable connectivity but also find comfort in knowing that the technology making that connection possible is researched, regulated and safe.

Bed Bug Bites VS Flea Bites – How Can I Tell the Difference?
The ultimate guide on how you can tell the difference between the bite of a bed bug, and the bite of a flea.
Worried you have a pest problem? It can be difficult to decipher what the pest at hand is by bite alone, especially if you’re torn between it being from a bed bug and a flea.
So how can you really tell the difference between a bed bug bite, and a flea bite?
Read on for the ultimate guide on how you can tell the difference between these two kinds of bite.
Are There Any Similarities?
First of all, you’re probably wondering whether or not there are any similarities between the two kinds of bite.
If there is a small group of bites in one place on your skin, then this could easily be either a flea or a bed bug bite. Both of which tend to be found on the upper half of your body too, which can make things even more confusing.
Keep reading to find out more about the further symptoms of both bites, which will help in identifying which pest is causing you the problem.
First things first, we’re going to be taking a look at flea bites in a little more detail.
Fleas are tiny little blood – suckers, and tend to be found living on animals, which tends to be how humans end up with flea bites, as many of us are pet owners.
Fleas, although they can’t fly, can jump as far as up to eighteen centimetres. As soon as they can latch onto a host, the biting begins.
The Symptoms of Flea Bites
One of the key ways of identifying a flea bite, is knowing what symptoms to look out for.
You’ll usually find flea bites in the following areas on the body:
- Arm pits.
- The lower waist.
- In the bend of your knees / elbows.
- Other skin folds.
How Should I Treat a Flea Bite?
If you’re concerned that you’ve been bitten by a flea, the first thing you’ll want to know is the right way to treat the bite in question.
You should be sure to thoroughly wash the bite with soap and water, and if the bite is itchy, then apply a topical anti – itch cream to the area.
If you think you may have had an allergic reaction to the bite, now is the time to take an anti – histamine, or if you’re concerned, contact your doctor.
Bed Bug Bites
Next up, we’re taking a look at the bite of a bed bug in a little more depth, in order to help you tell them apart that bit easier.
Similarly to the flea, the bed bug survives on the blood of his host – we know, a little vampiric to say the least.
To look at they are small and reddish brown, and are less likely to come out through the day, because they tend to hide in dark places, and bite people only once they are sleeping. They do this because they’re attracted to body heat, and the carbon dioxide which is produced upon exhalation.
Generally speaking, bed bugs will hide in:
- Bed frames.
- Box springs.
They can be found in hotels, hospitals, and in the home too.
The Symptoms of Bed Bug Bites
Bed bugs, similarly, to fleas, tend to bite the upper part of the body, including the following areas:
The bite itself is small, and will have a dark red spot in the centre. Sometimes they appear in a cluster / line, and they will get worse if you itch them
How Should I Treat a Bed Bug Bite?
Last of all, but by no means least, we come to how you should treat a bed bug bite.
The bite should really go away after a week or two, and you should seek medical advice if:
- The bites aren’t gone within two weeks.
- You develop an infection from itching the bites.
- You have an allergic reaction, such as hives.
If you need to treat the bite, you can use a topical steroid on your skin, or take antihistamines orally. In some cases, a doctor may prescribe antibiotics for infection.

Are Lurchers Easy to Train?
Thinking to adopt a Lurcher puppy and need to know whether is it easy to train a Lurcher puppy or how long does it take to train a Lurcher puppy?
According to dog trainers, Lurcher Dogs score out of 5 in the scale of breeds that are considered as the easiest dogs to train.
Moderate training is recommended for this dog.
Lurchers Puppy Training Tips
It's no surprise that in addition to looking for a pet dog that's easy to possess, many people want a dog that will easily learn new techniques (or learn to ease himself outside).
While all canines can be educated, there are some that are less complicated than others. All dogs are individuals, naturally, so this checklist is a broad generalization of which breeds are typically relatively easy to educate fundamental obedience and home manners.
If you're searching for a breed that's easy to educate for innovative and competition obedience, these could help you also! Otherwise, you'll have a well-behaved pet that probably recognizes an expensive trick or two!
Check out the charming much easier to educate dog breeds that have a solid chance of swiftly learning what you teach them:
2. Golden Retriever
3. Labrador Retriever
5. German Shepherd
7. Cardigan Welsh Corgi
8. Pembroke Welsh Corgi
9. Shetland Sheepdog
10. Swedish Vallhund
Temperament is also variable, again dependent on parental influence. As could be expected, lurchers with dominant sighthound attributes have similar temperaments—often fairly lazy with a good eye—however, accordingly, others are influenced by their other, often more tractable, biddable, and slower parent. As with all dogs, temperament will be modified by socialising the puppy.
What to do if you lose your Lurcher
If your Lurcher Dog or any other pet has gone missing and it does not have an identification tag with a phone number, you can:

4. Take the pet to the local Animal Shelter assigned to your suburb.

Memphis, it’s time to show out for your squad. The Memphis Showboats have finally released their uniforms ahead of the 2023 USFL season, ready to sport their new colors and identity heading into April.
Looking at the design, it’s clear that the USFL drew inspiration from the current iteration of the Pittsburgh Maulers. The shoulder block is nearly identical to Pittsburgh.
Personally, these jerseys aren’t on the same tier as the New Orleans Breakers, or Michigan Panthers. A bit more creativity certainly would have been appreciated. Overall, the new uniforms look solid, and should be fun to watch on the football field in 2023. | <urn:uuid:1cff9477-2bee-454d-82e8-fd1f2b821c1e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://pfnewsroom.com//news/memphis-showboats-reveal-new-usfl-uniforms-for-2023/ | 2024-04-24T02:19:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.944205 | 137 |
Why Businesses Need More Sustainable Management
Sustainable Business LeadershipAs we move further into the year, organisations are continuing to implement sustainable management practices off the back of legislative changes and global agendas such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
To identify how businesses can contribute to these goals, we assess what sustainable management is, it’s importance and some of the key individuals making a difference to the world.
Learn more about our Sustainable Business Leadership courseWhat is sustainability management?
Sustainability management is a term used to define the managerial decisions that business individuals or a group of business individuals make and the tactics they implement to change or improve the social, economic or environmental impact of an organisation. This typically involves planning for sustainability changes and considering the business impact of such decisions. Whilst it’s important for businesses to make a change for the better, they’ll also be looking to balance this with a favourable financial return and enhanced reputation.
The importance of sustainability management
Businesses need more leaders driving sustainability management to change the world. For organisations, this is also crucial for them to meet legislative criteria, sustainability targets, and corporate social responsibility goals.
For example, the United Nations SDGs are designed to create a “blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all” through ambitious targets including:
- Climate action – To take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
- Gender equality – To achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
- Decent work and economic growth – To promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.
How sustainability management can tackle global challenges
In order to meet some of the targets just mentioned, businesses will need to devise sustainable management practices to solve some of the most pressing sustainability issues.
1. Climate change
As the world continues to experience record-breaking greenhouse gas concentrations, rising sea levels and increased temperatures, it’s clear that climate change is a huge risk to the future of our world. Sustainable management can play a crucial role in slowing down the devastating impact of climate change.
2. Driving equal opportunities
As of March 2023, there are soon to be only eight black CEOs in Fortune 500 companies, and this lack of representation clearly demonstrates an unjust situation for aspiring black professionals looking to progress their careers and access leadership roles. This lack of equal opportunity can even affect people by gender, class, disability, and sexuality, making sustainable management crucial to combat this injustice and generate equality in the workplace.
3. Providing decent work
According to Statista, about 220 million people worldwide are out of work. This level of unemployment is down to several reasons including but not limited to poor education and training, health, and poverty. Sustainable management practices can help overcome this challenge and contribute to fairer work opportunities.
How sustainability management can impact an organisation’s bottom line
Whilst businesses need to meet sustainability objectives their operations also need to remain commercially viable. They can take steps to benefit their bottom line by:
1. Reducing running costs
Typically, most of the benefits from investing in environmentally friendly technologies and initiatives will be experienced in the long-term. For example, eBay switching to renewable energy sources to power their office headquarters will have been a big initial investment to set up but will reduce running costs in the long-term and help minimise their carbon footprint.
2. Enhanced productivity
By investing in equal opportunity initiatives, businesses will benefit from improved employee satisfaction which will also have a positive knock-on effect on productivity and potentially an organisations bottom line. In 2018, a study from McKinsey found that having diverse gender mix in managerial positions increased productivity with the most diverse companies 33% more likely to outperform less diverse companies on profitability.
3. Increased employee retention
According to Glassdoor, the average cost of recruiting a new employee in the UK is £3,000. By offering equal opportunities and positive working conditions, businesses can benefit from increased employee retention, reduced hiring costs and improved productivity.
Examples of sustainability management in action
1. Jennifer Morgan
Jennifer Morgan is the Executive Director for leading climate change organisation, Greenpeace. With over 27 years in the industry, she has been a pioneer for climate change, working for a range of world-changing firms including WWF (World Wildlife Fund) and the World Resources Institute. She was a Review Editor for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 5th Assessment Report and is a leading voice in climate change and sustainability, recognised by political standards organisation apolitical as one of the world’s top 20 most influential people in climate policy.
2. Rachel Cargle
Rachel Cargle is the Founder and President of The Loveland Foundation. In 2018, she made a birthday wish for black women and girls in the US to receive free therapy support and created a fundraising page to raise support funds. The campaign was quickly noticed by a large community of social media followers, raising $250,000. Following this her non-profit organisation was founded, providing free therapy sessions and scholarships for those interested in working in mental health. Her inspirational work strives to drive sustainable change against racial injustice and support future generations of underrepresented communities for years to come.
3. Kevin Frey
Kevin Frey is the CEO of Generation Unlimited. In 2003, he founded his first company TeachAway which has developed into one of the world’s leading international job-matching platform for teachers. In his current company, Kevin drives sustainable management practices for a digital education platform who have partnered with Accenture, Dubai Cares, Microsoft, and UNICEF to provide free, quality, digital education for young and disadvantaged people. Kevin is a key sustainable leader helping prepare the next generation with the skills needed to succeed in the workplace.

A sportsbook is a gambling establishment that accepts bets on various sports. These businesses also have a wide range of betting options, including Pay per head betting and Spread bets. These types of bets are very popular and offer a range of opportunities for both the sports enthusiast and novice bettor.
Pay per head
Pay per head at sportsbooks allow business owners to set a fixed budget and offer a range of betting options. They allow players to make bets without incurring high overhead costs, and their payment methods are secure. Most sites use credit cards, but some accept payment via Bitcoin. Always check the terms of service before submitting your payment details.
Pay per head at sportsbooks provide customers with a range of betting options, from betting on individual teams to placing bets on free bets. These sportsbooks can often be more profitable than traditional sportsbooks, as they can monitor their customers’ betting trends. This can improve their customer service.
Spread bets at sportsbooks can be made in a variety of ways. The most common and simple way is to place a moneyline bet. These types of bets are most profitable in sports that have low scoring totals. Other options include exotic bets. These types of bets are typically offered at multiple sportsbooks, and you can shop around to find the best odds.
A bookie is a person who makes bets on sports events. These individuals charge a fee, called vigorish, for each bet they accept. The bookie earns money when the customer wins, but the bookie also risks losing money if the spread moves too far in one direction.
There are many different types of sportsbooks. Some are located in Las Vegas, while others are located online. Regardless of where a person chooses to place their bet, choosing the right sportsbook can make or break the experience. The right sportsbook should maintain strong security measures, and it should also offer user support.
Sportsbook layoff accounts are a good way to practice making sports bets without risking a large amount of money. While they’re not a bookmaker’s solution for covering losses, they are useful for beginners and those who don’t have experience betting. Layoff accounts let you save money for the big game or rainy day without having to risk your own money. There are a few rules to follow when using these accounts.
Sportsbook layoff accounts allow users to deposit small amounts of money into a separate account. This is a good idea if you want to save up money for a large bet. However, the amount you save for a layoff account is not protected if you win the final bet. In such a case, you might want to use a moneyline bet. This is a low-risk bet that you can place when you have a good idea about which team will win. Be sure to learn the odds and the bet structure so that you can place your final bet accordingly.
Choosing a sportsbook
Choosing a sportsbook is a process that involves a lot of factors. First of all, it is important to find a site that is licensed by a reputable gaming commission. There are several of these commissions around the world, but a UK gaming license is considered the gold standard. This means that the games are safe and the operators are regulated.
Secondly, you should look for a sportsbook with a user-friendly interface. The sportsbook should be fast and easy to navigate, as well as provide professional support. Moreover, a good sportsbook must support mobile devices. This is particularly important if you plan to bet on sports from a mobile device. In fact, 50% of all internet users in Canada now use their phones to surf the internet. | <urn:uuid:a071d075-aa02-40b3-87f6-79266376fd99> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://philippinebusinessentrepreneursexpo.com/choosing-a-sportsbook/ | 2024-04-24T04:08:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.959594 | 747 |

Spooky Halloween Decorations
Today I’m sharing some Halloween Inspiration! Avoid the “tricks” from trick-or-treaters this year by decorating your home for the holiday and letting them know you’re open for business. While there are so many great options for Halloween decorating themes, my favorite is the haunted house. Not only is it a great, scary option perfect for the holiday, but it’s also pretty easy to put together. Grab these 15 spooky Halloween decorations that will instantly turn your home into a haunted house.
No haunted house would be complete without a spooky cemetery in the yard. Put this set of Halloween tombstones in your yard for an instantly spooky setting that will surely give your visitors a fright.
Floating Witches Hats
Witches are quintessential Halloween characters, so incorporating them into your haunted house décor is a must. These spooky floating witch hats are the perfect option. They’ll be a unique and ominous addition to your spooky Halloween decorations set-up.
I can’t think of anything scarier than a giant hairy spider crawling up the side of my house. Can you? This spooky critter is 50 inches wide, making it the perfect way to shock other arachnophobes in your neighborhood.
With its tattered clothing, spindly skeletal fingers, and ghostly expression, this hanging phantom is a great choice for someone hoping to add some realistic ghouls to their haunted house décor. In addition to its scary expression, this phantom also has demonic light-up eyes and a motion-activated sound machine inside.
Crows are known to be common visitors to haunted houses, so adding a few faux feathered crows to your décor is probably a good idea. Not only will it give your décor some authenticity, it will also add to the spooky ambiance when combined with all your other spooky Halloween decorations.
Lighted Skull and Hands
What’s spookier than a skeleton climbing out of the ground? One that’s ominously glowing, of course. This set includes a glowing skull with two protruding hands, making it the perfect addition to your spooky Halloween decorations cemetery set-up.
While the witch hats are a spooky way to bring some sorcery to your décor, adding an actual witch to the mix will only make your house scarier. This scary green witch with long, skeletal fingers and a spooky grimace will fit the bill perfectly. And her motion-sensor-activated cackle will be the icing on the cake for those who love a good Halloween scare.
Sometimes its good to have a little spooky fun with your décor. Whether you have a haunted house on the beach or your ghostly homeowner just loves kitschy décor, this zombie flamingo is a great way to incorporate a little silliness into your Halloween display. It’s very appropriate for Florida, where I live. There are also skeleton flamingos, if you prefer those for your spooky Halloween decorations instead.
Warn visitors of their impending doom with this set of creepy signs. Because what haunted house would be complete without signs reading “Beware,” “Keep Out,” and “Danger”? In addition to looking like realistically hand-painted wooden signs, these creepy Halloween decorations also feature ominous blood spatter across each of them. These spooky signs are fun!
Another creepy animated ghoul to add to your collection, this grim reaper features glowing red eyes and chains with shackles on its hands. His tattered robe will blow ominously in the breeze while he waits for passersby to set off his motion-activated screeches and moans. This is one of the spooky Halloween decorations classics!
You can’t really have a true haunted house without a collection of bones of the home’s dearly departed visitors. Whether you add this set of skeleton bones to your spooky cemetery, or scatter them ominously across your yard, this decorative item is a must for any haunted-house-themed Halloween set-up.
Living Tree Decoration
If you have a large tree in your yard, you need this living tree decoration. It’s the perfect, unexpectedly spooky accent to your outdoor Halloween decorations. The scary face and creepy outstretched arms will instantly turn a normal tree into a terrifying addition to your haunted house décor.
Most haunted mansions feature at least one scary gargoyle statue somewhere, so adding one of these solar-powered gargoyles to your décor is a great idea. During the day, the statue will collect the power it needs to make this scary gargoyle’s eyes glow throughout the night. I love these spooky Halloween decorations so much! The gargoyle may or may not reside in my yard year round.
Use this fog machine to create a creepy atmosphere around your house throughout the night. A fog machine is a great choice for haunted house décor because it allows you to easily give your home a layer of fog with the touch of a button.
Finish your haunted house décor with some spooky apparitions in each of your home’s windows. Whether you opt for a scary hanging man in your bedroom window, a sharp-toothed monster in your living room, or a sinister witch in your dining room, these spooky Halloween decoration silhouette window clings are a simple way to add some spook to your home.

Nurses, Crucial to the Global Health Workforce, Face Dwindling Ranks as Demand Grows
Shortages, pay gaps, systemic barriers threaten nursing, health systems, and patient health
Posted on May 23, 2023
In honour of National Nurses Week, the following essay was co-authored by Partners In Health CEO Dr. Sheila Davis; Cory McMahon, chief nursing officer; and Isaac Mphande, primary health care manager, Abwenzi Pa Za Umoyo (APZU/PIH Malawi)
Nurses, the backbone of the global health workforce, are facing a crisis. That means patients are bound to suffer.
Even before COVID-19 struck, nurse and midwife shortages were between 7 million, according to the World Health Organization, and 30 million, based on an analysis for the Global Burden of Disease study, which took into account additional factors to determine need.
Even with this considerable gap in estimates, the shortfall is significant, and predominantly impacts low and middle-income countries. Now more than three years into the pandemic, there have been widespread departures from the nursing profession, further fracturing already weakened health systems.
Beyond shortages, the distribution of the existing nursing workforce threatens the equitable and effective delivery of care. More than 80% of the world’s nurses work in countries that contain only half of the global population. The pandemic exacerbated this inequity: high-income countries, also facing high burnout and nursing shortages, increased recruitment of nurses from low- and middle-income countries—further amplifying gaps in nursing supply and demand.
As nurses make up the majority of global health care personnel and provide almost 80% of hands-on care worldwide, a strong nursing workforce is integral to health system resiliency, pandemic preparedness and response, ongoing essential health care needs, and the ability to deliver on universal health care.
At Partners In Health, 52% of our clinical staff are nurses, yet nurses provide 75% of our patient care. PIH supports 1,626 nurses—88% of whom are female—across 11 countries. Globally, those most impacted by disparities in nursing availability and accessibility are—as usual—the patients, families, and communities that are most vulnerable. Despite general agreement that the world needs more nurses (and quickly), there are significant structural barriers to entering and remaining in the nursing workforce. Addressing these barriers is essential to improving patient care and outcomes and health systems broadly.
Case Study: Malawi
In Malawi, where PIH has worked since 2007, it can take seven years to earn a nursing degree. Even then, there is no promise of a job—despite the national need. Nurses who do secure jobs may find themselves bombarded, expected to see up to 75 or 100 per day at a busy health center. When nurses are unable to obtain employment, this directly impacts the ability to attract nurses to the profession, further contributing to workforce shortages. This understaffing, alongside other dire working conditions, strain nurse retention, recruitment, and the delivery of quality care.
Despite these obstacles, Malawi has tripled its number of trained nurses and midwives. Each year, hundreds of well-qualified nurses graduate from school, prepared to enter the workforce. Although there is a 54% vacancy rate among nursing and midwifery positions within the public health system, only 70% of trained nurses and midwives are absorbed—there are currently thousands of qualified nurses without jobs in Malawi. However, the public health system is still in dire need of more nurses.
If there is a global nursing shortage, why then should there be difficulty integrating nurses into health systems?
This astounding misalignment is due to International Monetary Fund (IMF) imposed austerity measures, which place strict limits on the number of new public sector workers hired and their salaries. These rules impact multiple professions, including teachers and nurses. So, despite an enormous nursing shortage within clinics and hospitals, new nursing graduates are blocked from being hired by the public sector, forcing many to leave the country to find work. Furthermore, the low pay and high workload of the existing workforce means the cost of the austerity is borne by health workers and the health and well-being of the people.
Recently, Malawi’s National Organization of Nurses and Midwives has been assisting unemployed nurses in seeking jobs outside the country. More than 3,000 nurses matched to jobs elsewhere—including the United States and other high-income countries—but the government blocked visas to prevent their departure. However, this does not prevent nurses from leaving on their own to pursue their careers and livelihoods.
Beyond barriers to entry, a diverse range of challenges prevent the retention and support of nurses in the workforce. These obstacles include under-resourced work environments with high volumes of patients, insufficient supplies, no space or time to take breaks, inadequate access to education and training, and insufficient pay, among others. Achieving a new path forward requires a reimagined future, one in which nurses are recognized as experts and have opportunities to develop their careers while also receiving appropriate pay for their critical work. It will require a paradigm shift built upon the voices of nurses, and others serving on the frontlines, sitting at decision-making tables.
Across our care delivery sites, PIH is working to formally define specialty areas and advanced practice nursing, enhance professional development opportunities, and establish career pathways that also keep nurses at the bedside. We are developing nursing fellowship programs that bridge the gap between academic and clinical practice, promote nurse-led innovations to care delivery, address burnout through staff wellness programs, provide dignified housing and other social support, and engage in policy change.
PIH’s nurses are at the forefront of innovative care delivery programs, mentorship and leadership initiatives, and national and global policy efforts to impact broader change. Our integrated maternal child health program in Haiti (J9) is led by an interdisciplinary team of nurses and midwives. From 2018 to 2021, 2,229 women and 1,912 children benefitted from the J9 program. And even during the pandemic and more recent instability, J9 has sustained its enrollment of and services for expectant and new mothers and their babies.
Nursing Centers of Excellence in Liberia and Haiti serve as hubs for professional development and clinical education and mentorship, bridging the gap from theory to practice. At the University of Global Health Equity’s Center for Nursing and Midwifery, nurses and midwives gain training in leadership, policy, and advocacy, as we make plans for a school of nursing and midwifery in the near future.
In Liberia, Lesotho, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and Haiti, we are working closely with national regulatory bodies to support efforts that define scopes of practice and establish national standards and curricula. Furthermore, we are engaging directly—in Malawi and elsewhere—with multilateral organizations to address structural barriers that prevent optimal patient care and to influence equitable resource allocation, workforce distribution and specialization, and strategies to attract, recruit, and retain qualified nurses and other health care professionals to meet present and future needs.
A Workforce of Experts
Across PIH and the globe, nurses and midwives deliver care amid difficult circumstances—from natural disasters to violence—and continue to show up as clinical experts, care connectors, educators, innovators, leaders, and compassionate caregivers at the bedside.
As experts who provide the majority of care, and because of their proximity to patients, nurses should lead the discussion about structural changes needed to fortify the workforce and advance health care as a human right for all. However, health care practice still perpetuates hierarchies that too often minimize nurse leadership. Only 71% of countries have a national nursing leadership position with influence on nursing and health policy. As 90% of the nursing workforce is female, these power dynamics are patterned by gender inequities. Although women hold 70% of health care jobs globally, they only occupy 25% of health leadership roles—and women are, of course, differentially impacted based on social status and other privilege.
In Rwanda last June, we witnessed the power of nurse leaders coming together through the Global Nurse Executive Fellowship (GNEF) program. Nurses from Haiti, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Malawi, Rwanda, Peru, and Lesotho shared challenges, exchanged ideas, and learned from each other. The innovative solutions that emerged from this collaboration highlight the importance and untapped potential of nurse leadership. Our work across PIH proves what is possible when nurses are engaged in and lead efforts to improve the delivery of expert, dignified, and compassionate patient care.
For more than 30 years, Partners In Health has provided world-class medical care, strengthened health systems, and advocated for global health equity; many PIH patients have gone on to become community health workers themselves, including doctors, nurses, midwives, therapists, and community health workers. | <urn:uuid:9ba7fc8a-8b51-4ed7-b3a7-ac7e40fde578> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://pihcanada.org/nurses-crucial-to-the-global-health-workforce-face-dwindling-ranks-as-demand-grows/ | 2024-04-24T03:54:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.958426 | 1,829 |

All about the Finland Sauna
The sauna is an integral part of Finnish culture. It has been around for hundreds of years. Sauna is also the only word deriving from the Finnish language that has become part of the world’s vocabulary. You can find a sauna in almost every private dwelling. Even some offices and of course, on the shores of lakes that are part of the summerhouses.
Saunas in Finland have such a wide variety of uses. Even business meetings and transactions are done in there, and not in a boardroom. It’s a place to hold serious discussions, relax or even ease childbirth.
I was always joking, Why sweat in a box, when you can step outside and sweat to your heart’s desire?
Personally, until I came to Finland, I occasionally used the electric sauna located in the public swimming complex. I found this experience unpleasant and too hot for the Australian climate. I was always joking, Why sweat in a box, when you can step outside and sweat to your heart’s desire? However in Finland, the sauna is a much more personal and enjoyable experience.
So far I have used a wood-fired sauna that uses logs to burn, and then on top of the stove, there are rocks that heat up. To heat the room more, you use water that is thrown on the rocks, which creates steam that heats up the room. Usually the sauna is heated to 80 degrees or higher.
Before using the sauna, you get undressed and take a shower. Then, you take a towel to sit on while in the sauna. Most Finns are naked in the sauna, and men and women have separate saunas, or if it’s public sauna, sometimes it’s mixed sexes. This can be a bit uncomfortable for a foreigner because at most saunas overseas you need to wear something like a swimsuit.
Most Finns are naked in the sauna, and men and women have separate saunas, or if it’s public sauna, sometimes it’s mixed sexes.
However, for most Finns, there is nothing sexual about being naked in the sauna, and wearing clothes is seen as a bit strange. You can use a towel if you want to cover up, and it is also acceptable to refuse having a sauna if you are uncomfortable with the idea of doing it, or it will cause too much inconvenience afterwards.
At first, I had to get used to the heat of the sauna as I found the temperature too hot and the steam a bit choking, but after a few minutes, I relaxed and enjoyed the experience. It is recommended that you stay in the sauna at least until you sweat so that you get rid of any impurities in your body.
Especially, as the temperature is cooling down and winter is approaching at a rapid pace, the sauna is a welcome part of my evening; where I can relax after a busy day, warm up my bones and talk.
When visiting Finland, I would thoroughly recommend to any travelers to give the sauna a try. See if it’s something that they enjoy, too.

Travel Finland: In Conversation with Sarah Perrine
This month, we’re interviewing women from all over the world and asking them about their experiences traveling to Finland. We had the privilege of speaking with Sarah Perrine about her experience traveling through the country. Here’s a glimpse into our conversation.
Tell us about yourself! What do you do when you’re not traveling the world? Where do you live? What made you decide to go to Finland?
I recently moved to Jyväskylä, Finland for a Master’s Program in Aquatic Sciences for two years. I am originally from Ohio and graduated this past August from Youngstown State University with my B.S. in Environmental Studies and my B.A. in Professional and Technical Writing.
While adjusting to Finland I have been trying to keep up with my normal hobbies, including reading, running, and yoga. I guess I could add Facebook to my hobbies too; I’ve been spending a lot more time on it to keep in touch with my friends and family back home.
How long did you go for? How did you spend your time?
I have been living here a little over a month, and have 11 more to go. My days are similar to those I spent as a student in Ohio, except I have to dress warmer and bike more. I hope to do a lot of traveling while I’m here.
What were your most memorable experiences? What were the biggest disappointments?
Most memorable so far: Getting to know so many different people. Biggest disappointments: People here can be very antisocial.
What do you wish you knew before you went?
There is nothing that could have further prepared me for my travels. The only tools you need are within yourself: confidence, ability to adjust, and a positive attitude.
I wish I would have known before that the apartment I chose was so far away from the City Center and University so I would have been able to choose a better location. Keltinmäki is the furthest student apartment from campus and this seems to be a very well-known fact by the Finns!
Travel Finland: A Conversation with Sarah Perrine.
Any favorite restaurants/hotels/hostels/sites you’d like to recommend?
Restaurants are a bit expensive in the city. I eat a lot on campus. Student meals cost only €2.60 and they are always filling and taste home cooked.
What’s next on your travel list?
My first trip will be a Christmas/New Years get-away with my boyfriend. We are planning to visit some Christmas markets in Dresden and stay in Berlin for Christmas, then stop by Copenhagen and possibly Hamburg before spending New Years in Amsterdam. We want to squeeze in one more country before we return to my flat in Finland but we are still undecided on where!

What Does an Injury Attorney Do?
Injury attorneys handle cases of alleged negligence or torts such as auto accidents, medical malpractice product liability, as well as other claims. They help clients comprehend complex legal procedures, medical and insurance jargon, and understand the significance of the numbers and evidence.
In New York, an injury lawyer can obtain the compensation needed for past and future damages including physical aches or aches, diminished earning capacity, scarring, and much more. They often charge a 1/3 of the total recovery amount and the case “expenses”.
Injury lawyers (or personal injury lawyers) deal with legal claims involving physical or mental harm that is caused by the negligence or wrongdoing of another. They are experts in reviewing medical records, investigating accidents and putting together a persuasive argument on your behalf. They will deal with insurance companies so that you aren’t pushed into accepting a lower-than-expected offer.
A reputable lawyer for injury will have a track record of the ability to succeed in reaching fair compensation for the benefit of their clients. They will also have a lot of experience in litigating cases in court. While the majority of injury claims are settled outside of court, it is important to hire a lawyer who has experience in representing clients in an appeals court.
You should also ask your attorney if they are members of any national or state associations of plaintiff injury lawyers. These associations publish legal papers and also engage in lobbying for the rights of those who have suffered. They can be a valuable source of information on how a particular lawyer handles personal injuries and the kind of reputation they have in the community.
Lawsuits for injury have a bad reputation, Injury Attorneys which is likely due to the unsavory characters in the field. Many people believe that injury lawyers are greedy ambulance chasers. While there are some of them but it’s also true that most injury attorneys are honest.
Miscommunications and unrealistic expectations from the client can also affect the reputation of an injury lawyer. For instance, if an injury victim is told that their case will be handled within a couple of months and it takes a long time that can result in frustration for both parties.
If you want to know more about an injury lawyer’s reputation, check online reviews Ask your friends and family for recommendations, or phone the state bar association to see if they have any disciplinary issues. You can also find out where an attorney’s office is located and if they are licensed to practice in your state. This will prevent any unpleasant surprises in the future. It is also helpful if an injury lawyer has local offices that are easy to find and easy to access.
Most injury attorneys work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning that you only pay them if you are successful in obtaining compensation for Injury attorneys your losses. During your initial consultation you should inquire with the attorney how much they’ll charge.
Most personal injury cases require substantial case costs to be incurred for the case to be prepared and taken to trial. This includes hiring investigators and engineers and obtaining medical records, filing court documents, depositions, preparing demonstrative evidence, and more. These expenses are borne by your lawyer. They are reimbursed at the end of the case through the settlement check issued by the insurance company.
If a lawyer isn’t in a position to fund your case, he could make mistakes that negatively impact your outcome. You should also take into consideration whether the lawyer is an active member of national and state organizations dedicated to representing injured victims. These organizations usually sponsor legal publications and engage in lobbying for the protection of consumer rights. They also provide clients with qualified lawyers. They can provide better representation than other attorneys.
A good injury attorney should be knowledgeable about the various kinds of insurance coverage that could be in place for a specific incident. This includes liability insurance, property damage, workers’ compensation, uninsured/underinsured motorists, and personal injury protection (PIP).
A reputable injury lawyer should be able to identify all parties that could be accountable for the accident. This is particularly important when there are multiple businesses or vehicles may be involved in the crash.
Insurance companies exist to earn money, and paying injury claims cuts into their profits. This is why they typically take on cases of injury to settle at the lowest amount possible.
They might also try to intimidate you or make you believe that their first lowball offer is the one you can get. An experienced lawyer can level the playing field and ensure you get the maximum amount of compensation for your injuries. The lawyer should belong to state and national organizations which specialize in representing injured persons. These organizations sponsor legal publications and offer continuing legal education. They also advocate on behalf of members.
5. Time is an element.
The amount of time needed for an injury attorney to finish his job depends on a variety of factors. The most important thing to consider is how long it takes for a victim of an accident to reach their maximum level of medical improvement. It may take years for some victims to get to this stage. This is why it is crucial that victims seek medical attention as soon as possible after an accident. A knowledgeable attorney can monitor medical procedures, consult medical experts and calculate loss so that the claim remains on track. It is also beneficial to find an injury lawyer who is a member of national and state organizations that specialize in representing injured people. This may increase the pressure on insurance companies in order to negotiate more favorable settlements. | <urn:uuid:c1220f1c-1ccb-4532-bdd3-4e82ecf87eff> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://piossasco5stelle.it/question/7-effective-tips-to-make-the-most-out-of-your-injury-settlement/ | 2024-04-24T02:49:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.971339 | 1,110 |
Population Studies Center
Department of Sociology. In 1966 the Center established close connections to the Department of Economics, and since that time has become increasingly interdisciplinary, currently drawing faculty from more than a dozen academic disciplines. In 1991 PSC became an autonomous unit within U-M’s College of Literature, Sciences, and the Arts (LS&A). In 1998, the Center made an institutional move from LS&A into the Institute for Social Research (ISR), followed by a physical relocation in 2003. For PSC affiliates, this integration into ISR heightened opportunities for collegiality and collaborative work, and provides better access to knowledge activities focused on survey methodologies, especially those related to large data collections.
Center affiliates are population researchers who pursue independent research with the support of Center staff. PSC supports a large portfolio of both domestic and international research in several key areas of demographic research: Health and Social Inequalities; Social-Biological Interactions; Population Health and Well-being; Families, Fertility, and Children; Population Dynamics; and Methodologies and Data.
The Center provides pre- and post-award research support services to affiliates through four core units. Administrative Core staff provide management and administrative support for research affiliates and their funded projects. Computing Corestaff provide a state-of-the-art social science computing environment to support the Center’s research and training missions. Information Core staff provide resources and services in three areas. Data Services assists in the acquisition, organization, and management of data for PSC research projects. Library Services maintains a collection of local holdings and offers a variety of bibliographic and references services in support of research. The Communications Office provides editorial, design, website, and database services to researchers, and disseminates research results through the working papers series. The Methodology Core, jointly operated with the Survey Research Center, provides guidance for research issues arising in survey design, implementation, and data analysis.
PSC provides apprenticeship training and fellowship support to graduate students in Sociology, Economics, and Public Health who choose population studies as a field of specialization. The goal of the graduate training program is to produce social scientists, fully trained in their discipline, with broad knowledge in population studies and specialized skills in statistical and demographic techniques. Although the Center does not award graduate degrees, all PSC student trainees gain practical research experience under the supervision of an affiliated researcher. The Center also provides postdoctoral training to demographic researchers in a variety of fields.
The Center also administers the Michigan Center on the Demography of Aging (MiCDA), funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA).
Professor Paula Fomby gives a brief overview of the Population Studies Center at the University of Michigan and their training opportunities during the PIPS Graduate Programs in the Population Sciences webinar in November, 2017.
Established in 1949, the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research (ISR) is among the world’s largest and oldest academic survey research organizations, and a leader in the development and application of social science methods and education.
With researchers from a broad range of academic disciplines, ISR serves as a national laboratory for the social sciences, advancing public understanding of human behavior through empirical research of extraordinary depth and breadth.
The Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) is a unit within the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan and maintains its office in Ann Arbor. It seeks research data and pertinent documents from researchers, including PIs, research agencies, and government entities. ICPSR then processes, preserves, and disseminates the data and documents; the Consortium also provides education, training, and instructional resources to help users understand and analyze research data.
ICPSR is an international consortium of more than 700 academic institutions and research organizations, maintains a data archive of more than 500,000 files of research in the social sciences, hosts 16 specialized collections of data in education, aging, criminal justice, substance abuse, terrorism, and other fields.ICPSR’s educational activities include the Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research, a comprehensive curriculum of intensive courses in research design, statistics, data analysis, and social methodology. ICPSR also leads several initiatives that encourage use of data in teaching, particularly in undergraduate instruction.
Areas of Specialization
Pathways into Program
Since the Departments for Sociology, Economics, Health Behavior and Health Education, and Anthropology grant graduate degrees, and the Population Studies Center does not, prospective Center trainees must apply to the relevant graduate department. In completeing the departmental application forms, applicants should indicate in the financial aid section that they are interested in a Population Studies Center Fellowship. | <urn:uuid:d5964f68-d7f5-44a9-bce6-954cf8c1d5ef> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://pips.ssdan.net/program/university-of-michigan/ | 2024-04-24T03:56:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.926994 | 957 |
How to Cure Plantar Fasciitis Fast
Rest is crucial in the recovery of plantar fasciitis, a prevalent condition that usually resolves within three to 12 months through consistent care. Providing your feet with ample time to heal is vital in overcoming this discomfort caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a band of tissue stretching from your heel to your toes. Although it may seem counterintuitive, rest allows your body to repair and rebuild, helping alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with this condition. By implementing a routine that includes appropriate rest, along with other recommended treatments such as stretching exercises, orthotic devices, and pain relief options, you can promote healing and experience relief from plantar fasciitis.
In addition to giving your body adequate rest, there are a variety of treatment alternatives that you can endeavor in the comfort of your own home to alleviate aches and symptoms associated with inflammation. One such option is applying ice to the affected area, which can help reduce swelling and provide temporary relief. Incorporating stretching exercises into your routine can also contribute to pain relief by promoting flexibility and mobility. Moreover, engaging in physical therapy exercises can be highly beneficial in managing pain and enhancing overall well-being. By implementing these home-based treatments, you can effectively address pain and inflammation-related symptoms.
One of the most efficient methods to alleviate plantar fasciitis quickly is by incorporating foot stretching exercises into your routine. Engaging in regular stretching can not only ease pain but also enhance the strength of your feet, enabling you to engage in high-impact activities like running and jumping without discomfort.
If you’re a runner, or you play any sport that requires a lot of running or jumping, you should stretch your plantar fascia before exercise to prevent injury and increase your strength.
Personal trainer Deborah Lynn Irmas, ACE certified in Santa Monica, CA, recommends these stretching exercises to her clients who have suffered from plantar fasciitis:
You should also avoid high-impact activities like jogging and jumping until you’re feeling better. These types of exercises can put a lot of pressure on your feet and make your symptoms worse.
Plantar fasciitis is a common foot problem that affects runners, athletes and those with high arches. It can cause severe pain at the bottom of your feet and under your heel.
Luckily, it can be cured very quickly by following the right treatment plan. But before you begin, make sure to avoid some common mistakes that could end up making your plantar fasciitis worse in the long run.
One of the most important things you can do to help heal your plantar fasciitis is to rest it. This includes giving up all exercise that puts stress on your feet, reducing your step count and modifying activities if you have to.
Another important way to relieve heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis is ice therapy. Applying ice to the painful area is very effective and inexpensive. It also helps decrease inflammation and swelling.
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition that causes a sharp pain on the bottom of your foot. It can also cause stiffness and a loss of mobility.
Resting your feet can help relieve symptoms and encourage healing. However, it’s not always easy to find the time to do so when you’re busy with work or family obligations.
Fortunately, there are a few simple home treatments that can help you get relief quickly. These can be done almost anywhere, from a quick 15-minute break at work to while you watch TV at home.
First, make sure you’re wearing comfortable shoes. Choosing shoes with plenty of cushioning under your heel and stability in the sole can prevent inflammation, says Shona Khosroabadi, DPT.
Physical therapy is a form of treatment for a wide range of health problems. It can include a variety of techniques including stretching, massage, icing and heat therapy.
Your therapist can suggest stretches and strengthening exercises for your plantar fasciitis that may improve pain, increase activity tolerance and prevent it from coming back. They also will assess your movement patterns and teach you how to restore normal motion.
You’ll need to follow your PT’s plan and perform the exercises correctly in order to help you heal faster. If you’re unable to do a certain exercise, ask your therapist to change it or skip it until you feel ready.
The timeline for plantar fasciitis to heal varies among individuals depending on how long they have the symptoms, but most people recover within a few weeks or months with conservative treatments. These include ice, rest, modifying or avoiding activities that aggravate the condition and using special devices such as night splints or arch supports.

Roaring laughter could be heard through the streets of Playa Vista on Thursday, Jan. 23, and it was all for a good-humored cause. Hosted by the Playa Vista Elementary School, standup comedians performed their best knee-slappers at Gulp to help raise money for the always cheerful school. The evening of giggles was emceed by Heather Pasternak, who’s performed on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” and tours with “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actor Jeff Garlin. Other performers included the highly charismatic Lachlan Patterson of “Last Comic Standing,” funny gal Jenny Brandt of the Perfectly Disheveled blog, Leslie Liao, who joked about growing up with strict Asian parents, and local comedy guru and mom, Jessica Entner. Guests enjoyed yummy food and cocktails as the jokers took turns making them chuckle. The event raised over $1,500 for the kiddos.

At first glance, you don’t expect much from the Seagull S6. It’s got a standard design while the color is plain and natural. Even the sound hole is basic with a typical circle decoration. In fact, it’s not the type of guitar you expect much from. But looks can be deceiving, and once you pluck the strings of the Seagull S6, the basic design doesn’t really matter anymore.
A Breakdown Of The Seagull S6
In the early 1980’s Godin Guitars decided to create a sub-division, which was branded Seagull Guitars. They were, and still are, made by hand in Canada. It goes without saying that quality is built into the name, which is also why this budget guitar is still a little pricey compared to other brands.
As mentioned earlier, it’s nothing extraordinary at face value. Instead, it’s only when you start playing when the genius behind the instrument comes to light. The tone is rich and full, which is much more than you’d expect from a guitar within the price range. So what makes the guitar so great if it’s not the design?
For the most part, the magic resides within the combination of materials that were used. For example, typical entry-level guitars usually come with laminate wood spruce tops. But with the Seagull S6 a solid cedar top was used, and this is somewhat of a game changer. Many guitarists pay meticulous attention to the material of the face of the guitar because it has a dramatic effect on the overall tone.
But there’s another big difference, namely the Canadian Wild Cherry wood that is used for the sides and back. This is a rare material for any brand of guitar and its appearance has a very characteristic beauty. Strangely enough, the one thing that the S6 has in common with guitars, in general, is the rosewood fretboard.
Keeping in mind that this is a beginner guitar, the cedar top might cause some confusion. For beginners who have played on different models, the tone and sound are going to vary substantially compared to the S6. This isn’t a bad thing. Instead, it’s something that can be used constructively. For some, it’s the perfect guitar for finger picking, while others like the sound of the strumming more. But ultimately it’s only age that will open up the guitar, which is also when you’ll discover what you like most.
When looking at the S6 more closely, you’ll notice that the saddle is made with compensated tusq, which was developed by GraphTech. This is a quality replacement for bone and ivory, although it’s not as expensive. Once you remove the strings another difference can be spotted, namely the grooves of the saddle don’t go in the same direction. Instead, they split into different directions, a trait that’s usually reserved for high-end guitars.
Just when you think the S6 can’t stand out any more than it already does, the neck is slightly broader than other entry-level guitars. This isn’t something that so much changes the sound as it is personal taste and comfort. It takes some getting used to, but it’s not a long process.
But where the neck is thicker, the headstock is smaller. According to Seagull, this is done with purpose. They believe that placing the tuners in line with the nut is going to increase tuning stability, although this isn’t a proven fact.
You get to choose between the plain acoustic model and the acoustic-electric. Obviously, the plain acoustic is cheaper, but not by much. If you choose the acoustic-electric model then expect to find a Quantum I pickup system, which is unique to Seagull. The pickup sits inside the saddle and the EQ features basic volume, bass, and treble control.
Who Should Consider Buying The S6?
This is where things get a little complicated because it’s definitely the perfect beginner guitar. However, it might still be a little too pricey for some. At the same time, it’s not exactly the best choice for players who are past the beginner arena and are looking to experiment with a more professional outlook. In other words, the S6 sits between the entry-level and professional level, because the quality is great, but not great enough to change the music revolution. Ultimately you’ll have to choose whether the price justifies what you’ll be needing it for. | <urn:uuid:e0ad3151-4a08-46d8-b3a7-fd8bcbe16905> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://playguitarnotes.com/guitars/seagull-s6-review/ | 2024-04-24T03:41:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.957246 | 982 |

December, and the semi-final promotion of our print anthology Plume Poetry 10, with a marvelous upcoming reading (details below) and this poem from the book, to whet your appetite and open your purse strings, Daisy Fried’s “My Destination”:
There’s a green hollow where the river croons, madly hanging silver rags on the grasses hanging its glad rags on the grasses
and there’s a museum crouching on the ridge
like a woman trying to unhunch her shoulders
after long difficulty. There’s a river undulating,
a limb turning from a body, a silver river
trickling, not much rain of late. On the bike trail
I smashed my behemoth rental on purpose
into the foldable a man with padded shorts
dragged into my lane to show he doesn’t
notice rules. Unhurt by the impact, he vibrated
outrage at my audacity, he shivered
with umbrage derived from his abilities
picking stocks and inferiors, a tale
of his own deserving. I sped away and docked
my bike and my iPhone beeped confirmation.
In a room behind a room in a room of the museum
I arrived at my destination: two eyeholes bored
in rustic doors: the Duchamp peepshow Étant Donné— Given—“a picture without a picture plane”—
“a surprise attack” by naked genitals. Supine
nude’s mannequin hand—all out of scale
as if Mona Lisa reached behind her to scrabble
in distant hills—raises a trickling lantern,
glimmering lightfall. Feet in the gladioli… Feet in wild violets…cresses…in chicory… Nature, nurse her warm; she’s cold. Frightening,
the gash hooked, hairless, between her legs,
question between her legs. Berce-le…
Lustrous, she’s dead? Only sleeping?
I tried to move my eyes, I really did,
to see her face, this moved them
off the eyeholes, then I saw nothing.
after Rimbaud’s “Le Dormeur du Val”
note: Italicized lines are my versions of lines from Rimbaud’s “Le Dormeur du Val” (“The Sleeper in the Valley”), in which a young soldier appears merely to be sleeping. The phrases “a picture without a picture plane” and “a surprise attack” are from Pia Høy’s article, “Marcel Duchamp—Étant donnés: Deconstructed Painting,” trans. John Irons, from tout-fait: The Marcel Duchamp Studies Online Journal
I should repeat, too, I suppose, that Plume Poetry 10 is available for purchase at SPD and the Plume Anthologies Store, (with discounts for orders to be used as texts), Amazon, etc.

Mikel Arteta lamented a “painful and sad” day as Arsenal’s Premier League title challenge suffered another setback with defeat at Fulham.
The Gunners now sit fourth in the table after a 2-1 loss at Craven Cottage only added to a home defeat to West Ham on Thursday.
Bukayo Saka had given the visitors the lead in west London, only for Raul Jimenez and Bobby Decordova-Reid to turn the game around for the Cottagers.
Five games ago, Arsenal were six points clear of champions Manchester City but are now level, having played one more game with Pep Guardiola’s side in World Club Cup action before Christmas.
Asked for his view on the game, Arteta said: “Painful and a sad day. That’s how I would sum it up.
“We had the chance to be top of the table after 20 games with the consistency that we’ve shown. We haven’t managed well enough to earn the right to win the game.
“Three days ago we lost a game that we deserved to win, today was a very different story.”
Arsenal had 30 attempts on goal as they slipped to a 2-0 loss to West Ham – but it was a different story here as Arteta’s side toiled to create chances on a wet and windy afternoon by the Thames.
“For sure,” the Spaniard replied when asked if the Fulham performance was more concerning than that against the Hammers.
“The other one, we didn’t put the ball in the net and they scored the way they did. It’s OK. Today the overall performance was more worrying.
“We weren’t good enough. We weren’t good enough in ball possession, we gave too many balls away. we didn’t have enough rhythm, enough threat.
“Defensively we were second best. We could not control the direct play. It was so easy for them to win that first and second ball and have the opportunity to run.
“Then we conceded two goals like we did against West Ham and when you do that in this league it’s going to be very difficult to win.”
Fulham head coach Marco Silva was left raising a glass to a good 2023 as his side returned to winning ways after a three-game losing streak in the league.
This was also the first time in over a year Fulham have come from behind to win in the Premier League and Silva was pleased with what he saw from his team.
“It really the best way to finish 2023, definitely,” he said.
“Our ambition was to finish on a high and react from the last two games. I really believe we deserve it. Over the 95 minutes we deserved it more.
“It was very good reaction after the first goal. The way we beat their pressure and began to play our way. We even had more chances to score a third goal.” | <urn:uuid:90300b23-6bcd-4cc5-8dba-a716ddce3190> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://plzsoccer.com/football-news/mikel-arteta-laments-painful-defeat-as-arsenal-title-challenge-suffers-blow/ | 2024-04-24T02:34:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.987322 | 648 |
Danny Welbeck headed home late in the second half to earn Brighton a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
A lapse by Seagulls goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen led to Jordan Ayew’s nodded opener just before the whistle blew to end an uneventful first half.
Eberechi Eze returned from injury as a second-half substitute and had a few chances to double his side’s advantage, but it was the visitors who dominated late on.
The result, which sees Palace still in search of a second league victory at home, also marked the fifth consecutive Premier League meeting the rivals have drawn 1-1 at Selhurst Park.
There was little excitement to boast in the opening stages, just a Pascal Gross effort dragged wide and a cross from Ayew – back in the starting XI for the first time since his controversial and costly sending-off against Liverpool – was easily plucked out of the air by Verbruggen as the clock ticked past 10 minutes.
Dean Henderson, making his home debut and second start for Palace in place of the injured Sam Johnstone, kept out Simon Adingra, Carlos Baleba’s attempt from the rebound sailing wide before the action largely returned to midfield, save a few runs into the rivals’ respective penalty areas calmly managed by both sides.
Kaoru Mitoma occasionally flashed down the left flank and Jean-Philippe Mateta fired straight at Verbruggen from Tyrick Mitchell’s cross and the hosts had a pair of set pieces, coming closest with the second when Michael Olise’s corner deflected off Ayew inside the six-yard box and into Verbruggen’s arms.
Billy Gilmour and Baleba did well to defend another scramble inside the 18-yard box where Chris Richards, Mateta and Olise all threatened, Jefferson Lerma trying next but unable to put a finishing touch on Olise’s feed, while Gross saw a shot saved.
Just as a goalless first half had begun to feel an inescapable act, Verbruggen, under pressure from Richards, gave the ball away as he tried to loft a pass but instead gifted an opportunity to Olise, who nodded across to Will Hughes, making his 100th Premier League start.
Hughes sent the ball back in the direction of Olise, who finely directed a cross towards the far post for Ayew to head home moments before the half-time whistle blew.
There was an uptick in pace and two second-half substitutions for Roberto De Zerbi, including Welbeck, after the restart, when Joao Pedro skied an effort and Lewis Dunk had a good chance to level soon after, rising highest to connect with Gross’ free-kick, but only able to direct his header inches wide of the far post.
A diving Henderson was able to push Gilmour’s attempt at squaring things up through a crowd, while Jack Hinshelwood was left disappointed after connecting with Gross’ cross but sending it well over the crossbar.
Hodgson introduced Eze who should have doubled his side’s lead but was hesitant and instead denied by Jan Paul van Hecke’s sliding tackle before sending another effort wide.
The Eagles desperately wanted three points but Brighton were in the driver’s seat in the closing stages, and their composure finally paid off when Welbeck beat Richards in an aerial battle and nodded into the top right corner, just evading Henderson’s fingertips.
There were chances for the Seagulls to walk away with all three points, but the hosts – including Henderson, literally, in one instance – clung on for the draw. | <urn:uuid:c13fe5bf-66bb-4ab4-b7db-fc95471c2b70> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://plzsoccer.com/latest-news/late-danny-welbeck-header-earns-brighton-a-draw-at-crystal-palace/ | 2024-04-24T02:38:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.961538 | 773 |
The pandemic shutdown changed the way we do many activities. COVID affected every aspect of people’s lives, from buying a house to taking a vacation.
The automotive industry was no different. And although Americans are climbing out of the coronavirus pandemic, decisions made by the automotive industry during the pandemic still influence the car buying process, which influences car sales.
Chip Shortage Interrupts Vehicle Supply
While Americans were in a pandemic lockdown, the automotive industry was pulling back. The fear was that car shopping would be the last thing on people’s minds. Automakers thought the car market would be depressed because car shopping would cease.
The automotive industry took action and reduced chip orders. They also reduced orders for components and parts. Unfortunately, chip manufacturers had found other customers by the time the car market had revived.
A chip shortage is occurring for automakers because Americans working remotely now have a demand for web cameras, smartphones and other electronics. These products need chips. Chip manufacturers can’t keep up, which has interrupted the supply chain.
The chip shortage for Americans contributes to an empty showroom and high prices.
Automakers Respond to Chip Shortage
The automotive industry has had to adapt to the chip shortage. The result is some automakers are deleting certain functions like seat warmers or rear seat climate controls to have vehicles available. Some of these deletions will be retrofitted later. At one point, the chip shortage forced manufacturers like Ford and Toyota to cease production temporarily.
Americans and Car Shopping Response
The chip shortage for Americans contributes to an empty showroom and high prices. The car market is booming, but finding an affordable new car or used car is challenging.
Unfortunately for the automakers, brand loyalty is disappearing as car buyers are willing to take what they can get. Thirty-one percent of car buyers were willing to give up on what they were looking for and switch brands.
More car buyers are shopping online, with dealers like Carvana, instead of going to a dealership. Others are willing to leave their area and go car shopping at an out-of-town dealership.
Dealerships and Pandemic Shopping
Some car dealers are making hay out of the recent interruption in the supply chain. With dealer lots almost empty, many car buyers are making car purchases without taking a test drive. And there’s usually no haggle with the salesperson over car prices.
Although, eventually, this will right itself, it will take a while before the automotive industry can fill dealer lots again. And pent-up demand from car buyers waiting for high prices to fall will still be around.
Buying a New Car
In today’s car market, car shopping for a new vehicle is more than just challenging; you’re competing with other car buyers for the best new car available. Finding the exact car you want may not be realistic. But don’t settle. Many car buyers are so desperate they’re not taking a test drive. So, they’re paying high prices without really knowing what they’re buying.
Don’t overpay for a new vehicle that doesn’t meet your needs. But if you find one that checks most of the boxes, don’t leave the dealership to think about it. In this car market, if you don’t purchase what you want right away, it may not be there later.
Americans Have Sticker Shock
Unfortunately, it’s common to pay over sticker price. The sticker price is the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP). In January 2022, 82 percent of car buyers paid over sticker price. Americans in January paid an average of $728 over the MSRP.
And although some automakers have asked car dealers not to overcharge, a car dealer can ultimately charge what they want. Some car dealers are reluctant to gouge customers. They’re the ones thinking about the long term.
Car Buyers Can Still Haggle
Car dealers may seem to have the edge, but car buyers still have some options. Used vehicle prices are through the roof, and there’s a shortage. So your trade-in might actually be worth more than a new vehicle.
Haggle over what they’re willing to pay you. If you must overpay for the new car, make sure you’re making it up by selling your used car.
Besides your trade-in, there are other ways to negotiate when car shopping. Ask the car dealer if they’ll throw in some free oil changes or accessories. Any extras you can get will help.
Patience When Buying New Vehicle
In this car market, patience pays off in car shopping. If you don’t need the new vehicle right away, consider ordering it either through the dealer or directly from the automaker.
In some instances, automakers will still offer rebates or other incentives if you order your new vehicle. So you may have to wait for months, but you probably will save.
Buying a Used Vehicle
The car market for used cars has exploded. Some have higher car prices than new cars. That’s because the lack of new cars has car buyers turning to used vehicles.
And though the first step of car shopping has always been to establish a budget, be prepared for when that SUV you wanted is $3,000 to $5,000 more than what you had in mind. If you can’t afford it, you might have to purchase something else or wait.
Find a Used Car
Once you’ve established your budget, it’s time to start searching for your used vehicle.
Three options for finding a used vehicle are a dealership and online services like Auto Trader, Craigslist or online like Carvana. Keep in mind that Craigslist may be a little more low end and you won’t have a warranty.
Car dealers and used dealer lots often list vehicles on Auto Trader. It gives you the opportunity to go car shopping without leaving your home. Private sellers also list on Auto Trader. Since a private seller must pay to list, they’re often a step up from Craigslist.
Evaluate a Used Vehicle
Start with just walking around the used vehicle. Look for rust or other body damage. Look in the car as well. How does it smell? If you smell mildew, it might have water damage.
Take the used vehicle for a test drive. How does it feel? Check for comfort and ease of driving. Make sure when driving, you turn the air conditioning on and test the heater. Keep the radio off and have silence in the used vehicle. Listen for any engine noises or other parts of the car making squeaks or bumps. Once you’ve taken it for a drive, check for any leaks.
Check the vehicle identification number (VIN) with this VIN Lookup. You don’t want to purchase a stolen vehicle.
If you’re at a new car dealership, ask about a warranty. Is the used vehicle a certified preowned vehicle (CPO)? These cars often have just come off a lease and have had good maintenance and low mileage.
If the used car ticks all the boxes, don’t hesitate. It may not be there the next day or even the next hour.
Used Vehicle and New Vehicle Financing
Although the U.S. Federal Reserve raised interest rates, it didn’t curb the desire for vehicles. Instead, the limited supply of new vehicles created demand. But a car loan is becoming harder to qualify for. Lenders are looking beyond credit scores. They want to see down payments and past payment history before giving a car loan.
But the credit score is still important when determining the amount of interest you'll be charged. The higher the interest, the more you're actually paying for that already high-priced vehicle.
When taking out a loan, be vigilant about your monthly payment. Your payment should not exceed 15 percent of your monthly net income.

This week we are once again bringing you the original Adventures of Captain Marvel movie serial from 1942. I posted this here a couple of years ago, but that video has been yanked from YouTube, so this week we’re going to present a new and improved print that also edits out all the redundant openings and closings from each serial, and gets the running time down to under three hours. With the much-hyped “Shazam” movie coming out next year, which is based on the awful “New 52” bastardized version of Captain Marvel that Geoff Johns foisted on us, I thought it might be good to show how cool this superhero could be when he’s not played as a comedic super-powered version of the movie Big.
I have made no secret of the fact that my all-time favorite superhero is Captain Marvel. Though known primarily as “Shazam” by less-cultured folks, Captain Marvel debuted from Fawcett Comics in 1940 and was pretty much the top-selling superhero in comics until 1953, when his publisher decided to cut their losses after years of a nagging copyright infringement suit filed by National Periodical Publications, now known as DC Comics, the publishers of Superman.
The suit had little merit, but questionable rulings in appeals courts, coupled with a massive decline in comic book sales industry-wide, convinced Fawcett Publications to give up. Fawcett decided to quit the comic book business and paid off DC, agreeing never to publish Captain Marvel again without DC’s permission.
Mired in another comic book sales slump in 1972, DC made an agreement to lease (and later purchase outright) Captain Marvel so they could publish him themselves. Unfortunately, during the time Captain Marvel was out of the public eye, Marvel Comics trademarked the name for their own character (they didn’t want anyone else publishing a book with “Marvel” in the title after Myron Fass had released his own legendarily-awful character with that name) so DC had to go with “Shazam” as the title of their book (actually the full title was “With One Magic Word, Shazam”).
The character went on to star in his own live-action Saturday morning program and during the 1970s was one of DC’s four most-merchandisable heroes. Kids in the 1940s and the 1970s fell in love with Billy Batson, who could turn into the super-powered Captain Marvel just by saying “Shazam.” DC had mixed results with the character in terms of sales, though, and the original Captain Marvel has been rebooted, with great versions and not-so-great versions many times over the years.
But tonight we go back to the original incarnation of the hero at the height of his popularity for the entire 12-chapter serial, The Adventures of Captain Marvel. from 1941. This is widely considered to be the greatest superhero movie serial from the golden age of Hollywood, and while it’s not entirely faithful to the comic book, it’s a great adaptation and a lot of fun.
So set aside just under three hours and enjoy the show, or order the DVD, which has just been released, so you can watch one chapter at a time. Either way, this is the REAL Captain Marvel, not a lady using the name, or a big dumb guy calling himself “Shazam.”
The current comic book version is pretty bad, demonstrating a complete misunderstanding of what made the character work so well on the part of Johns. The upcoming movie looks like a fun parody of the original concept, with the goofy twist of Captain Marvel being just a kid in an adult body (in the original comics he has the wisdom of Solomon, which sort of blows that crappy idea out of the water).
It’s a double-edged sword for fans of the original Captain Marvel: If the movie fails, then DC will never try to make another movie with him, and will probably abandon the idea of publishing any comics beyond what Geoff Johns wants to do. If the movie is a success, then generations of kids will grow up with this lousy parody of the original concept, and won’t know just how good the original comics were. | <urn:uuid:f11fd15e-0093-46b0-a713-7daeabf55f69> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://popcultblog.com/sunday-evening-video-the-real-captain-marvel-returns | 2024-04-24T03:28:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.967318 | 887 |
Gemma Chan is looking back on her controversial role in a 2010 episode of the BBC series Sherlock as she reflects on how Hollywood is changing for Asian actors. The Eternals star, 38, opened up to Vogue about the episode in Season 1 titled "The Blind Banker" in which she played a Chinese pottery expert who is discovered to have formerly been part of the Black Lotus Tong gang — a role criticized by many as "racially tone-deaf."
The Crazy Rich Asians star told the magazine that she might not have made the same decisions if given a chance to relive that time in her life. "Would I necessarily make the same choices now if given the choice? Maybe not," she said. "I think I would speak up more if I felt that a role was leaning into an Orientalist trope of some sort. I'm much more aware. And I think I'm in more of a position where I could say something."
She continued, "With complete respect to everyone involved… I'm not here to throw shade on anyone… but yeah, I totally hear what you're saying. I don't look down on anyone doing any position or in any job on set." During her time in Hollywood, Chan said "the industry has really shifted," but "changing the actual culture – changing in practice – takes longer."
While progress might be slow, Chan added, "It's only a fairly recent thing that Asian females have been able to be the protagonists of stories." Chan's determination to promote other Asian talents stems from her feeling of responsibility set by her parents. "This is the argument I tried to put to my parents back then when things were tough: hopefully, you work to make sure the next generation has even more of a chance to do something different and change things for the better for the rest of the community, or the next generation after that," she said. "That's something I feel in my bones. I want a rising tide to lift all boats."
As part of that, Chan has raised more than £87,000 for East and Southeast Asian grassroots organizations in the UK for her Stop ESEA Hate fundraising page amid the recent surge in hate crimes against people of ESEA descent. | <urn:uuid:2728c794-21b9-47ab-883b-bfc948c009f5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://popculture.com/celebrity/news/eternals-gemma-chan-speaks-out-controversial-sherlock-episode/ | 2024-04-24T02:33:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.980691 | 452 |

If you enjoy playing casino games, then you’ll love live casino online. Unlike traditional casino games, live dealer games are played in real time. There’s no pause button and you’ll see other players at the table as they play. The best part is that you don’t even have to dress up to play these games! You can play them in the privacy of your own home! To find the best live casino online, read on!
While playing live casino games, remember to select an online casino that uses modern technology. Games that are streamed live from a studio have higher stakes. This is because the developers are responsible for the studio, streaming, and dealers. The more tables in the studio, the greater the variety of stakes. The stakes can be adjusted to suit your bankroll, so make sure to check the betting limits first. This way, you can ensure that you won’t lose money!
When it comes to live streaming, it is essential to have a good Internet connection. If you’re playing games from a mobile device, you’ll need a good connection, which may lead to glitches and pauses in the action. Not to mention that this can affect other players as well. In this case, it’s best to opt for a land-based casino. If you can’t find a live casino online, try playing at a cable TV studio.
One of the most popular games at live casinos is roulette. It features a roulette wheel and an epic white ball. Unlike traditional roulette, you won’t need to deal with a deck of cards to play this game. You’ll just place your bets on a single number or a group of numbers or elements that are similar in some way. You can even chat with your table-mates while playing. In addition, you can watch the wheel spin in real time.
Another option for playing live games is to join a virtual live casino. Live casinos have a high-quality video stream that enables you to experience the action in a real casino. Live dealer casinos also offer bonuses and promotions. These games are available on most major gambling sites. A live casino should offer the best live games and the most variety. Once you’ve decided on a site, you can play for real money. It is also important to check out its reputation, as some are better than others.
In addition to live dealer games, there are also virtual versions available. If you like poker, you can try your hand at the Platincasino UK. With the live casino experience, you won’t want to miss out on the fun! If you have a stable internet connection, you’ll be able to play your favourite live games and enjoy the atmosphere of a real casino. It’s just as fun to play the virtual version of the same game.
While you can enjoy live dealer games in an online casino without actually visiting a real casino, they are still an excellent way to experience a Vegas-style casino. Live dealer games use state-of-the-art technology to create an authentic, live casino experience. Leading software providers such as Microgaming and Evo Gaming make live dealer casinos a great choice. When you play live casino online, you won’t even have to leave the comfort of your own home! | <urn:uuid:000dba00-8abe-4d91-80ad-2a3c2fc2567c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://posto6.com/how-to-find-the-best-live-casino-online/ | 2024-04-24T04:03:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.934657 | 689 |
How To Start A Pocket Bike Without A Pull Start
Overview of Pocket Bikes
Pocket bikes, also known as mini motorbikes or minimotos, are small-performing motorcycles that derive from MotoGP racing. They are approximately one-third the size of standard motorcycles and can reach speeds of up to 60 mph. These vehicles have a small gasoline-powered engine mounted on the bike frame, with an outline that resembles sports motorcycles.
To start a pocket bike without a pull start, you will need to have knowledge about the how-to techniques such as putting your foot on one side or using electric starters. Electric starters require properly charged batteries so you must keep them in good condition while shifting through gears by smoothly managing throttle control.
Although mini motorbikes were initially only popular among adults for thrilling rides at racetracks, they currently appeal to people from all age groups seeking adventures in their nearby areas. When buying a minimoto for kids below 16 years old, ensure that it does not exceed 50 cc and is appropriately equipped with safety measures such as throttle limiters and automatic braking systems.
Many pocket bike enthusiasts prefer importing high-performance versions from Japan where they got introduced initially. However, these purchases come with legal restrictions such as obtaining licenses for driving or keeping them off roads to avoid hefty fines under state regulations.
A friend of mine purchased a secondhand pocket bike and spent several weeks reviving it without knowing how to kickstart it manually. He wouldn’t need any special tools but just needed an expert helping hand explaining each critical step in refurbishing minibikes.
Who needs a pull start when you have a can-do attitude and a trusty foot?
Ways to Start a Pocket Bike Without a Pull Start
To Start ways to start a pocket bike without a pull start with different solutions. Using a Kick Start, Push Starting the Pocket Bike, Gravity Starting the Pocket Bike, and Using a Jump Starter Pack are some of the sub-sections we’ll discuss.
Using a Kick Start
Kick-starting a Pocket Bike
One of the ways to start a pocket bike without a pull start is by ‘Kick-starting’ it. Here’s how to do it:
- First, find the kick start lever located on the right side of your pocket bike.
- Stand on the left side of your pocket bike and hold onto its handlebars firmly.
- Next, use your right foot to press down smoothly on the kick lever and release it quickly in one swift motion.
This method is suitable for those who have experience riding motorcycles and are familiar with such procedures.
To ensure successful results, make sure that you apply enough pressure to the kick-start lever while releasing it instantly. This process produces a spark that ignites the fuel and air mixture in your engine and starts the bike.
Pro Tip: Always follow proper safety guidelines while handling a pocket bike, especially when starting or riding it. Wear appropriate protective gear such as helmets, gloves, knee pads, and elbow guards and avoid starting or riding your pocket bike in busy roads or crowded areas.
Give your legs a workout and start push starting that pocket bike, because real bikers don’t need no stinkin’ pull starts.
Push Starting the Pocket Bike
Starting a Pocket Bike Without a Pull Start can be done through Push Starting the bike. It is an easy and efficient way to get your pocket bike running without the need for any additional parts. Here’s how you do it:
- Position the Bike: Place the pocket bike in an open area with plenty of room to move around.
- Get Ready: Sit on the pocket bike and grip both handlebars firmly.
- Push and Run: Use one foot to push off against the ground while running alongside the bike.
- Release Clutch: As you build momentum, pull in the clutch lever, located on the left handlebar.
- Accelerate: Once the engine revs up, release the clutch while accelerating by twisting the right handlebar.
- Keep Going: Continue riding until your pocket bike is going at a steady speed.
To ensure success, ensure that there is enough space to ride safely, wear protective gear, and have someone help you if necessary.
Pocket bikes require regular maintenance and care such as maintaining tire pressure and keeping fuel quality in check. Be sure to consult your manual for further details.
A study by Motor Media reported that push starting is amongst useful skill riders should learn about their motorbikes irrespective of its type or size.
When it comes to starting a pocket bike with gravity, remember to let go before you crash into a wall – unless you’re into that kind of thing.
Gravity Starting the Pocket Bike
Starting a Pocket Bike with the Force of Gravity
A pull start is not always the only option to kick-start the bike. Gravity starting uses essential physics laws to start the engine without using a pull start.
Here is a 6-step guide on how to gravity kick-start a Pocket Bike:
- Situate the bike on an even surface.
- Push down on the foot pegs or place your feet in stirrups and lift it up, then tilt it slightly at an angle where the front touches down while balancing on its rear tire.
- Hold onto both brakes firmly.
- Take about 6 -10 steps back from your pocket bike and start sprinting towards it.
- When you are close enough, jump up and place both feet firmly down on each footrests onto the pocket bike and at this point, release the brake lever of rear brakes with force.
- The momentum of your body will now continue into forward motion, thus establishing a force powerful enough to rotate the engine’s crankshaft at sufficient speed to ignite and engage self-start.
A few more tips: Make sure you practice this method repeatedly before successfully achieving it as your first attempt may fail and cause injury, so safety should be more important than anything else.
In previous years Gravity Starting was commonly used by dirt bikers competing in Motocross races due to not having an available starter kit available at that time.
Gravity starting can also be done through downhill or inclined slopes for ease of transmission engagement using less physical effort compared to flat surfaces.
Don’t jump to conclusions, use a jump starter pack to jumpstart your pocket bike without a pull start.
Using a Jump Starter Pack
Starting a pocket bike without a pull start can be done through the use of a device known as a jump starter pack. This equipment helps to kick-start the engine and ensure that it runs smoothly. To use a jump starter pack, follow these 5 easy steps:
- Ensure that the jump starter pack is fully charged before use.
- Find the positive and negative terminals of the battery on your pocket bike.
- Connect the red cable from the jump starter pack to the positive terminal and connect the black cable to the negative terminal.
- Switch on the power button of your pocket bike and start cranking it until it starts running.
- Remove all cables carefully after successfully starting your pocket bike.
It is essential to note that other ways can aid in starting pocket bikes, such as using an electric drill or pedal power starters, which are less conventional than using a jump starter pack.
Pro Tip: Ensure that you read through your pocket bike’s manual and follow safety precautions when starting it.
Ready to break a sweat and kick-start your pocket bike? Here are some extra tips to get your motor running:
Additional Tips for Starting a Pocket Bike Without a Pull Start
To achieve successful starting of your pocket bike without a pull start, here’s what you can do in addition. Checking the fuel and oil levels, inspecting the battery, cleaning and maintaining the spark plug, and following the manufacturer’s instructions are some of the sub-sections that can help you start your pocket bike with ease.
Checking the Fuel and Oil Levels
To start your pocket bike without a pull start, it is crucial to ensure that the fuel and oil levels are appropriately balanced. Improper fuel and oil levels can lead to damage to the motor and other bike components. Here are some tips for Checking Fuel and Oil Levels:
- Use a measuring cup or gauge to measure the level of gasoline in the tank.
- Ensure that you have mixed oil with gasoline in the correct ratio as specified by the manufacturer
- Check if there is any dirt or impurities present in fuel by using a filter or strainer to clean out if any.
- Locate the oil reservoir of your pocket bike engine, remove its cap and check for proper oil levels
- If there isn’t enough oil, top-up with exact quantity and type recommended by manufacturer.
- If the level seems too high, take some out with a syringe so it reaches recommended level
Knowing how to check your fuel and oil balances is important, but did you know that regularly changing them also prolongs your bike’s longevity? Keep an eye on them frequently.
As keeping one’s bike well-maintained is vital, avoiding minor issues like proper lubrication caused significant damage. Thus make sure always keep up with fill-ups!
One day my friend tried starting his pocket bike without checking its fuel and oil levels. Eventually, he realized that his ignorance caused technical errors which resulted in hefty charges at dealerships. Regularly checking balances saves’ not only time & money but also keeps bot emissions spike free!
Before inspecting the battery, make sure it’s not actively plotting its revenge against you for neglecting it for so long.
Inspecting the Battery
When examining the power charge in your pocket bike, a thorough analysis of the battery is necessary. Without checking it, starting it without complications becomes difficult. Below are some steps to follow for an adequate assessment.
- Begin by removing the dust cover from the battery compartment to ensure that there isn’t any dirt or corrosion on the connecting points.
- As corrosion can be the issue for a failing battery, place both hands under it and give it gentle knocks or taps. This helps get rid of excess sulfation which causes corrosion and other problems
- If you notice greenish-blue powder on the metal terminals, baking soda and warm water can remove this.
- Clean and dry surfaces with a cloth before reconnecting wires and tightening screws while replacing the compartment cover securely.
Furthermore, always take care that you avoid over-tightening your cables as this could close them off from conducting energy accurately. By following these steps consistently, good results could be achieved when attempting to initiate your pocket bike without a pull start mechanism.
However, suppose none of these suggestions leads to battery improvement or successful pocket bike operation. In that case, usually replacing your battery with one confirmed to be in excellent condition should provide solutions needed for starting without pulling strings. It would help if you always had a reliable backup option in cases where repairable options cannot remedy problems brought on by worn-out parts like your bike’s batteries.
Keep your spark plug clean or you’ll be left with a pocket bike that has a serious case of stage fright.
Cleaning and Maintaining the Spark Plug
Cleaning and maintaining the spark plug is crucial for a smooth pocket bike. A clean and well-maintained spark plug will ensure that the engine starts efficiently, even without a pull start.
Here are five simple steps to follow for cleaning and maintaining the spark plug:
- Turn off the engine before beginning any maintenance.
- Remove the spark plug cap using pliers or your fingers.
- Use a socket wrench with a spark plug socket to remove the old spark plug.
- Clean the spark plug with a wire brush, being careful not to damage it.
- Reinstall the clean or new spark plug, attach the spark plug cap, and you’re ready to ride!
Remember that regular cleaning and maintenance of your pocket bike’s spark plug will extend its life and save you from costly repairs down the road.
In addition to following these steps, it’s important to check for any indications of wear or damage that could cause problems in starting your bike without a pull start. For example, if there is oil on the tip of your spark plug, it could imply that there is an issue with your fuel intake system.
Before hitting the road, always make sure that you have thoroughly examined all aspects of your pocket bike’s condition and resolved any potential issues before they become problematic.
Don’t risk missing out on an adventurous day on your pocket bike because of a faulty ignition system – keep up with regular cleaning and maintenance of your spark plugs to ensure maximum enjoyment from your ride!
When it comes to starting a pocket bike, following the manufacturer’s instructions is like reading the terms and conditions – no one actually does it, but we still pretend to.
Following the Manufacturer’s Instructions
Following the Manufacturer’s Guidelines for Starting a Pocket Bike
It is important to adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines when starting your pocket bike, as improper usage could cause damage to the engine or other components. Here are three steps to follow:
- Check Battery Level: Make sure the battery of your pocket bike is fully charged before attempting to start it without a pull start. You can connect the battery to a charger and wait until it reaches its optimal level.
- Turn on Ignition: After ensuring that the battery is fully charged, you can turn on the ignition switch of your pocket bike. This action will provide power to all electrical systems, including the fuel pump and lighting system.
- Push-Start with Kickstand Up: Ensure that your kickstand is up and your brakes are engaged before pushing your pocket bike off in first gear while engaging clutch lever simultaneously.
In addition to these steps, make sure to regularly check for signs of damage such as worn-out brake pads or flat tires. Taking proper care of your pocket bike can extend its longevity and enhance your riding experience.
Don’t miss out on enjoying a seamlessly functioning pocket bike by ignoring manufacturer instructions. Follow these simple guidelines for an optimized performance every time you ride!
If all else fails, just push the pocket bike downhill and hope for the best.

A. Using a recoil starter
One of the most common ways to start a pocket bike without a pull start is using a recoil starter. Here are some tips and tricks to use a recoil starter effectively:
1. Locate the recoil starter handle on the side of the engine and pull it until the engine starts.
2. If the engine starts to sputter, let go of the handle and try again.
3. Sometimes, the recoil starter rope may get tangled or stuck. In such a case, try pulling the rope a few times to dislodge it.
4. Keep the recoil starter handle clean and free of dirt, grime, or debris.
5. Always make sure that the spark plug is clean and dry before starting the engine.
6. If the engine is still not starting, try checking the fuel line and air filter.
7. If all else fails, you may need to take the pocket bike to a mechanic for further diagnosis.
Having knowledge about starting a pocket bike using a recoil starter can come in handy when you’re out on a ride or don’t have access to a pull start. Follow these simple steps and you’ll be on your way to a great ride!
B. Using a drill
Using a drill is a quick and easy way to start your pocket bike without a pull start. Make sure that you have a drill that has an adjustable speed and drill bit that fits the flywheel of the bike. To start your pocket bike using a drill, follow these steps:
1. Locate the flywheel on the side of the engine.
2. Insert the drill bit into the center of the flywheel.
3. Turn on the drill and slowly increase the speed until the engine starts to turn over.
4. Once the engine is turning, continue to hold the drill steady and allow the motor to start.
5. When the engine has started, turn off the drill and remove the bit from the flywheel.
Using a drill is a simple and effective method to start your pocket bike without a pull start. This method is particularly useful if you do not have access to a recoil starter or a push button starter kit. However, make sure that you have a suitable drill that will not damage the flywheel or the engine of your bike.
C. Utilizing a compression release
Util a compression release is another method to start a pocket bike without a pull start. This lever helps to release the pressure in the engine, making it easier to turn over. To use it, simply push the lever and then pull the starter cord. The engine should start with ease after that. This method is particularly useful if you have trouble starting your pocket bike due to engine pressure. Similar to using a recoil starter or a push button starter, it allows you to ignite the engine with minimal effort. Plus, it is a useful skill to have if you ever find yourself without a pull cord or any of the other necessary tools needed to start your pocket bike. As with any starting method, it is important to take proper safety precautions and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
D. Using a push button starter
Another way to start a pocket bike without a pull start is by using a push button starter. This method is the easiest way to start your mini bike without having to handle a cord or use any other tool. A push button starter is a small button located on the side of the engine, and it is used to turn over the engine. Simply push the button and hold it down until the engine starts.
To use a push button starter, you need a starter kit that includes a battery charger and a push button starter. Connect the battery to the charger and then connect the charger to the push button starter. Finally, push the button to start the engine. It’s that simple! This method is perfect for those who want a hassle-free start every time they use their pocket bike.
When using a push button starter, remember to ensure that the battery is fully charged to avoid any issues with starting the engine. You can also try jumpstarting the battery with a car battery if the battery is weak. With this simple yet efficient method, you can enjoy a smooth start every time you ride your pocket bike.
E. Starter kit
A kit is a great option for those to start a mini bike without a pull start. This kit includes a battery charger and a push button starter, making it the easiest and most convenient way to start your mini bike. All you have to do is connect the battery to the charger and then connect the charger to the push button starter. Finally, push the button to start the engine. It’s that simple!
One of the great advantages of using a starter kit is that it ensures a reliable and consistent way to start your mini bike. It also eliminates the need for complicated tools or procedures. Another advantage is its versatility – a starter kit can be used for different types and models of mini bikes.
If you’re new to the world of mini bikes, or simply want a hassle-free way to start your bike, a starter kit is definitely worth considering. It’s a convenient and practical solution that will give you more time to enjoy your mini bike without the hassle of a pull start.
F. Jumpstarting with a car battery
Jumpstarting with a car battery is another option for starting your pocket bike without a pull start. However, extreme caution should be exercised when attempting this method, as a sudden surge of electricity can cause serious harm. Before proceeding, ensure that the car’s engine is off, and the two vehicles are not touching. Follow these steps to jumpstart your pocket bike with a car battery:
1. Remove the seat and locate the battery terminals on the pocket bike.
2. Attach the positive jumper cable to the positive terminal of the car battery.
3. Then attach the other end of the positive jumper cable to the positive terminal of the pocket bike’s battery.
4. Next, attach the negative jumper cable to the negative terminal of the car battery.
5. Attach the other end of the negative jumper cable to a metal part of the pocket bike that is not near the battery.
6. Turn on the car and let it run for a minute.
7. Try to start the pocket bike.
Keep in mind that if the pocket bike starts, remove the cables carefully in the reverse order in which they were attached. If it doesn’t start, do not try again, as you may cause serious damage to the pocket bike.
G. Using a ratchet, wrench, or screwdriver
Using a ratchet, wrench, or screwdriver is another effective way to start a pocket bike without a pull start. To start the engine using this method, you need to find the flywheel on the side of the engine and put the ratchet, wrench, or screwdriver on the center bolt. Then you need to turn the tool clockwise until the engine starts. If you don’t have a ratchet, you can use a wrench or screwdriver that fits the center bolt. Moreover, this method is easy and doesn’t require a lot of effort. It’s important to make sure that the tool is properly secured and that you turn it gently enough so as not to damage the flywheel or the engine. Always remember to use caution when working with power tools and to wear the appropriate safety gear to avoid accidents.
H. Releasing the clutch or handbrake
Re the clutch or handbrake is a crucial step in starting a pocket bike without a pull start. Here are some essential tips to keep in mind when performing this step:
– If your mini bike has a clutch, you need to release it before starting the engine. To do this, pull the lever or push the button. Once the clutch is released, you can move the bike’s throttle.
– If your mini bike has a handbrake, you also need to release it before starting the engine. Just like releasing the clutch, pull the lever or push the button to release the handbrake.
– Releasing the clutch and handbrake ensures that the engine is not fighting against the resistance of the brakes. This allows the engine to freely turn over and start smoothly.
– Make sure to release both the clutch and the handbrake before attempting to start the engine, as failing to do so can cause damage to your pocket bike.
Starting a pocket bike without a pull start presents challenges that can be overcome. A simple method to consider is using a kick-start motorcycle technique. The key focus is backing up the bike in gear with the clutch disengaged, and then swiftly releasing the clutch to create forward momentum, which triggers the engine to start.
Keep in mind that this technique requires great skill and may cause damage if not done correctly. Instead of jumping into it, start by considering other methods like charging the battery or using an external starter tool.
It’s crucial to note that you should never attempt to modify your pocket bike since this will only lead to complications that could affect future starts.
Remember, safety should always come first when operating any type of vehicle, including a pocket bike.
A colleague once shared their experience where they tried to manually turn over the engine with a screwdriver. Unfortunately, due to carelessness and poor judgment, they ended up causing damage and had to replace several essential parts leading to an unwanted expense.

Most who sell a product or service believe – or want to believe – that buyers follow a straight and direct path when making a purchase. The prospective buyer visits your website, finds what they are looking for, heads to checkout, inputs their credit card information, and then confirms their purchase. This is the simplest route that every business wants their customers to follow but it rarely happens that way. In fact, about 2% of site visitors actually convert to paying customers on their first visit. Why? It can be for any number of reasons why they do not buy into what you are selling.
Maybe the website was not easy to navigate. Maybe the price was not right. Or just maybe, life just happens. Sometimes the person was called away from the computer at the moment they were about to click the “Buy it now!” button and forgot. While many would believe these customers are lost forever, that is not true. Retargeting can help you bring them back to complete their purchase.
Retargeting works like this: a visitor comes to your site and finds out about what you are offering but leaves before they making a purchase. This type of online marketing remembers the customer’s item of interest and then displays similar or the exact same item to them later in an ad, potentially bringing them back to the site to converting them into a paid customer.
How it works begins when you place a retargeting pixel onto a page or across the entire site. When visitors reach a pixeled page, a cookie is discretely placed into their web browser, and as they search the Internet the cookie shows retargeted ads from your site. Simple, right?
Why Should You Use Retargeting Ads?
Using typical display ads and retargeting ads in concert with one another makes for a powerful combination. While banner ads will hook new customers to your business, retargeting ads will bring back customers who already know of you and are interested in what you have to offer. This specific audience is much easier to convert into paying customers so it is highly recommended that you leverage retargeting ads for your brand. In doing so, you gently remind them of their initial attempt to purchase from you and from there they can complete their purchase. This type of ad has a very high click-through rate and increases your exposure to an audience that already wants what you are selling.
You want to use both regular ads on Google and retargeting ads because the following scenario is likely to occur: your banner ad is successful in attracting a whole bunch of people to your site. About 2% of them make a purchase on their first visit, which is great! However, a good chunk of them leave for whatever reason. With a retargeting ad activated, you can advertise to them wherever on the web they may go and remind them you have something they are looking for. The ad will link back to the item they want to purchase, making the buying process easy and ensuring the leave happy customers.

The UK launched on Tuesday a competition for small modular reactor (SMR) technology and created a new nuclear body, Great British Nuclear, in a bid to provide more zero-emission energy from locally-developed sources.
Great British Nuclear (GBN) is expected to drive the rapid expansion of new nuclear power plants in the UK, to boost UK energy security, reduce dependence on fossil fuel imports, create more affordable power, and grow the economy.
The nuclear industry is estimated to generate around $7.9 billion (£6 billion) for the UK economy, the government says.
As of today, companies can register their interest with GBN to participate in a competition to secure funding support to develop their SMR technology, which could result in billions of pounds of public and private sector investment in small modular reactor projects in the UK.
SMRs are considered to be the future of nuclear power technology because they are smaller than conventional reactors and can be manufactured in factories, making nuclear power stations cheaper and faster to build.
In the UK, Rolls-Royce has been developing SMR technology, which, the company says, can deliver cost-competitive and scalable net-zero power for multiple applications - from grid and industrial electricity production to hydrogen and synthetic fuel manufacturing.
While backing SMR technology, the UK is not giving up on conventional nuclear reactors and remains committed to the mega projects of Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C. The government will work with GBN to consider the potential role of further large gigawatt-scale nuclear power plants in the UK energy mix, the government said today.
Last year, the UK decided to revitalize its nuclear energy industry to secure more zero-emission power generated in the country. Under the British Energy Security Strategy, the UK has an ambition to deploy up to 24 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear power by 2050, around 25% of the projected 2050 electricity demand in the country.

Why is this medication prescribed?
Salicylic acid topical is commonly prescribed for various dermatological conditions. Here are some of the main reasons why it may be prescribed:
- Acne: Salicylic acid is effective in treating acne by helping to unclog pores, exfoliate dead skin cells, and reduce inflammation. It is often used in the form of cleansers, toners, gels, or creams for mild to moderate acne.
- Warts: Salicylic acid can be used to treat common warts and plantar warts. It works by gradually breaking down the layers of the wart, which eventually leads to its removal.
- Psoriasis: Salicylic acid can be beneficial in managing the symptoms of psoriasis, a chronic skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches. It helps to remove the scales and promote smoother skin.
- Seborrheic dermatitis: Salicylic acid can be used to treat seborrheic dermatitis, a common condition that causes red, itchy, and flaky skin, often affecting the scalp (dandruff) or other oily areas like the face or chest.
- Other skin conditions: Salicylic acid may also be prescribed for other skin conditions such as corns, calluses, and some types of hyperpigmentation, as it helps to soften and exfoliate the affected areas.
How should this medicine be used?
The specific instructions for using salicylic acid topical may vary depending on the formulation and the condition being treated. It’s essential to follow the directions provided by your healthcare professional or the instructions on the product packaging. However, here are some general guidelines for using salicylic acid topical:
- Cleanse the affected area: Before applying salicylic acid, cleanse the affected area with mild soap and water, and pat it dry.
- Apply a thin layer: Use your fingertips or a clean applicator to apply a thin layer of the salicylic acid product to the affected area. Be careful not to apply it to healthy skin surrounding the affected area unless directed otherwise.
- Massage or gently rub: Depending on the product, you may need to gently massage or rub the salicylic acid into the skin. Again, follow the instructions provided.
- Let it dry: Allow the product to dry completely before covering the area with clothing or applying any other products.
- Frequency of use: The frequency of application can vary. It may be once or twice a day or as directed by your healthcare professional. Do not exceed the recommended dosage or frequency without consulting your doctor.
- Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes: Take care to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, or any sensitive areas. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Follow precautions: Salicylic acid can cause dryness, irritation, or peeling, especially when used excessively or on sensitive skin. If you experience any severe discomfort or adverse reactions, discontinue use and consult your healthcare professional.
Remember, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider or dermatologist before using salicylic acid topical to ensure it is appropriate for your specific condition and to receive personalized instructions.
Other uses for this medicine
Salicylic acid topical has several other uses besides the ones mentioned earlier. Here are some additional applications:
- Calluses and corns: Salicylic acid can help soften and remove calluses and corns, which are thickened areas of skin caused by friction or pressure.
- Dandruff: Salicylic acid is commonly used in shampoos formulated to treat dandruff. It helps exfoliate the scalp and reduce flaking.
- Ichthyosis: Salicylic acid can be used as part of a treatment regimen for certain types of ichthyosis, a group of inherited skin disorders characterized by dry, scaly skin.
- Keratosis pilaris: Salicylic acid can help manage keratosis pilaris, a common skin condition characterized by rough, bumpy skin, usually on the arms and thighs.
What special precautions should I follow?

It is important not to apply a double dose to make up for the missed one, as it can increase the risk of side effects or skin irritation.
What side effects can this medication cause?
Salicylic acid topical is commonly used to treat various skin conditions such as acne, warts, and psoriasis. While it is generally considered safe when used as directed, it can cause some side effects. Here are some possible side effects of salicylic acid topical:
- Skin irritation: The most common side effect of salicylic acid is skin irritation. This can manifest as redness, itching, burning, or stinging at the application site. Mild irritation is usually temporary and subsides with continued use, but if it becomes severe or persists, you should discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
- Dryness and peeling: Salicylic acid can cause dryness and peeling of the skin, particularly if used in higher concentrations or applied too frequently. This can lead to flaking or scaling of the treated area. It is important to moisturize the skin regularly while using salicylic acid to minimize dryness.
- Allergic reactions: Some individuals may be hypersensitive or allergic to salicylic acid. Allergic reactions can include rash, hives, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop using the product immediately and seek medical attention.
- Discoloration: Prolonged or excessive use of salicylic acid can sometimes cause skin discoloration. This is more likely to occur in individuals with darker skin tones. It is important to follow the recommended usage guidelines and avoid overuse.
- Sensitivity to sunlight: Salicylic acid can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight, making it more prone to sunburn. It is advisable to use sunscreen and protective clothing when going outdoors, especially during prolonged sun exposure.
- Eye irritation: If salicylic acid comes into contact with the eyes, it can cause irritation, redness, and stinging. It is important to avoid getting the product in your eyes and to rinse thoroughly with water if accidental contact occurs.
It is worth noting that these side effects are generally mild and temporary. However, if you experience severe or persistent symptoms, it is recommended to discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
What should I know about storage and disposal of this medication?
- Keep the medication in its original container, tightly closed, and away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
- Store it at room temperature, unless otherwise instructed by the manufacturer.
- Keep it out of reach of children and pets, as salicylic acid can be toxic if ingested.

Sadly the vast majority of presentations don’t work hard enough, because presentation science is ignored. But we’re geeks when it comes to PowerPoint and communication science, and we use that insight to give an edge to our presentations.
If you’re interested in working with us, here’s what you can expect:
One of our Senior Account Managers, will arrange a chat with you to assess your needs, and offer solutions for what we believe will suit your requirements best. We offer a variety of presentation services so during our chat we’ll discuss things like messaging support, level of design, whether animation or interaction would be useful, what type of optimisation may be required etc.
We’ll send an estimate, usually as a range, which includes a breakdown of costs and different options where relevant. We can work to your budget if you have one, and can provide options and recommendations of what is possible within your budget. As you’d expect, the more time we have, the more we can improve your slides. Once a deadline and estimate have been agreed, your project joins our workflow.
We allocate an Account Manager who will be your main point of contact throughout the job process. They will work with our team to complete your job to the highest standard. Early on they’ll send you a sample to approve, to make sure we’re in line with your expectations and budget. Some projects have multiple steps that you will approve along the way (e.g. draft structure, messaging, storyboard, design, animation).
Once all samples (at every stage) are approved we’ll build your slides to completion. We check everything thoroughly before we send it back to you, and of course we’ll complete amends as required (some time for amends is always included in the estimate). Shortly after completion we’ll send an invoice; first time clients may be required to pay for a project in advance. | <urn:uuid:43632e71-b152-468e-b17d-c6a215820cf1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://presentationexperts.co.uk/presentation-design-services/our-process/ | 2024-04-24T02:56:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.926617 | 407 |

SMITH ALUMNAE QUARTERLY
Spring 2006 Class Notes
CLASS OF ’02
Robin Hughes graduates from Northwestern this May with a master’s in public health. She lives in Chicago with fellow Hopkins House alum Gretchen (Gretch) Anderson . . . Natalie Goldberg (Emerson House) and her partner Gina Black (class of ’99) have finally realized their dream of moving to Finland and opening a karaoke bar! So far, they say, Emersonians Emma Bramley-Hawke and Joy Watkins have already stopped in for several verses of “Total Eclipse of the Heart”. . . After four years of working in a health clinic in her native Malaysia, Jia-Yi Moa has been accepted to NYU Medical School! . . . And now, news from my own darling group of girls: Sally Werner, who works as a researcher in a medical lab at Harvard, is getting married (on the Smith campus!) this May to longtime boyfriend Jake Brown. Fellow King House alums Bree Miller (Stanford Law ’05), April Adams (intrepid research assistant for Women in Peril, Inc.), and yours truly will be serving as bridesmaids. Look out for the embarrassing drunken photos in the next issue. Until then, happy spring to all and keep sending me those updates.
Your class secretary,
CeliaCelia woke with a gasp.
Her head was throbbing, her throat was dry, and it was already nine o’clock. She was late for Sally’s wedding or, at least, for the bus that would take her there. She silently cursed herself for going out the night before. What the hell kind of a bridesmaid showed up late to the wedding of a dear friend, and hungover at that?
Sun streamed through the windows of her little alcove studio. From her spot in bed, Celia could see two beer bottles and an open bag of tortilla chips on the coffee table by the couch, and, oh Jesus, there was a condom wrapper on the floor. Well then, that answered that.
The guy lying next to her was named either Brian or Ryan; that much she remembered. Everything else was a bit of a blur. She vaguely recollected kissing him on the front stoop of her building, fumbling for the keys, his hand already moving up her leg and under her skirt. She did not recall having sex or, for that matter, eating tortilla chips.
She was lucky not to have been chopped up into little bits. Her sober self needed to somehow get the message to her drunk self that it was entirely unadvisable to bring strange men home. You saw it in the papers all the time—They met at a party, he asked her to go for a stroll, two days later the police found her torso in a dumpster in Queens. She wished that casual sex wasn’t so intimately connected to the possibility of being murdered, but there you had it.
Celia leaned toward him now and kissed his cheek, trying to affect an air of calm.
“I’ve got to leave soon,” she said softly. “Do you want to hop in the shower?”
He shook his head. “I don’t have to go into the office today,” he said. “Got a golf date with some clients this afternoon. Mind if I sleep in?”
“Umm, no,” she said. “That’s fine.”
Celia looked him over. Blond hair, perfect skin, chiseled arms, dimples. He was cute, suspiciously cute. Too attractive for his own good, as her mother would say.
Before she left, she kissed him again. “The door will lock automatically behind you. And there’s coffee on the counter if you want it.”
“Thanks,” he said. “So I’ll call you?”
“Good. Well, see you later, then.”
From his tone, she figured the odds of his actually calling were about fifty-fifty, not bad for a drunken hookup.
Celia headed toward the subway. Was it weird that he had asked to stay in her apartment? Should she have demanded that he leave with her? He looked clean-cut, and he said he worked in finance. He didn’t seem like the type who would go home with a girl just to rob her, but what did she really know about him anyway? Celia was twenty-six years old. Now into what she considered her late twenties, she had begun compiling a mental inventory of men she should not sleep with. As she stepped onto the A train, she added
Guys who might be suspected of stealing my belongings to the list.
Twenty minutes later, she was sprinting through Port Authority, praying for the bus to be five minutes late. Just five extra minutes, that was all she needed.
“Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou amongst women,” she muttered. “Come on, come on.”
It was a habit of hers, a remnant of a time when she actually believed in God and would say a Hail Mary whenever she was in trouble. Celia realized now that what she had once thought of as prayers were in fact just wishes. She didn’t expect the Virgin to actually
do anything—even if she did exist, she probably wouldn’t be in the business of controlling buses running express from Manhattan to Northampton, Mass. All the same, the familiar words calmed Celia down. She tried to use them sparingly so as not to offend the Mother of God, a woman she didn’t believe in, but even so.
Her mother revered the Virgin Mary, saying the rosary in her car on the way to work each morning, keeping a statue of the Madonna in the front garden for years, until a Presbyterian family moved in across the street (not wanting to offend them, she dug up the statue and put it out back). She believed that Mary had all the power, that Jesus was secondary to her, because he had come from her womb. Celia often marveled at how her mother was perhaps the only person on earth to perceive Catholicism as matriarchal.
She reached the gate just as the bus driver was collecting the last of the tickets and closing the door.
“Wait!” she shouted. “Wait! Please!”
The driver looked up in sleepy-eyed surprise. She hoped he wasn’t as hungover as she was.
“Please! I have to get on that bus!” she said.
“Hurry up, then,” he said. “There’s one seat left.”
It wasn’t like Celia to draw attention to herself in public, but the thought of Sally’s disappointment if she had to call and say she was running late was just too much to bear. Besides, Celia had been looking forward to this weekend for months. She did not want to miss a moment with the girls.
She pushed through the aisle, past mothers bouncing crying babies on their laps, teenagers with their headphones blaring, and twenty-somethings having loud cell phone conversations about insanely private matters.
Bringing new meaning to hell on wheels, that ought to be Greyhound’s slogan. She was desperate for more coffee and as much Advil as she could take without killing herself.
Despite the four-and-a-half-hour bus ride that lay ahead, Celia smiled. Soon she would be with them again—Sally, impeccable and impulsive, a twenty-five-year-old millionaire in a thrift-store wedding gown; April, brave and opinionated, with that sometimes reckless air that worried them all; and Bree, beautiful and bright eyed and mired in a doomed love affair—she was still Celia’s favorite, despite all the changes and distance between them.
Celia sat down beside a pimply teenager reading a comic book. She closed her eyes and breathed in deep.
Eight years earlier, on Orientation Day, Celia wept in the backseat of her father’s Lincoln Town Car all the way out to Smith. The family had to pull over in a Taco Bell parking lot so she could get herself together before meeting her housemates. By the time she arrived at the front door of Franklin King House, she was fixed with a big fake smile and half a tube of her sister’s Maybelline concealer. (Celia had always prided herself on being a girl who didn’t wear makeup, but she realized at that moment that she did in fact apply powder and mascara and eye shadow most mornings, she just never bought any of it herself.) She held back tears for hours as they carried boxes upstairs and mingled with other new students and their families on the lawn of the science quad. Then, at last, it was time for the family to go, and there was an embarrassing, agonizing moment in which the four of them—Celia, Violet, and their parents—stood in a circle and embraced, everyone crying except for Violet, who was fifteen and eager to get back home in time to see her boyfriend’s ska band play at the Knights of Columbus Hall. (The band was called For Christ’s Sake, and Celia’s mother thought they were a Christian rock group. She didn’t know that the last word was pronounced with an emphasis on the e, like the Japanese wine.)
After they left, Celia cried until she felt as hollow as a jack-o’-lantern. College had snuck up on her, and unlike so many of her friends, who had been dying to leave home, Celia liked her life just fine as it was. She couldn’t imagine going to sleep at night without first creeping into her parents’ room, curling up with the dogs at the foot of their bed as her father watched Letterman and her mother read some trashy novel. She couldn’t picture herself sharing a bathroom with anyone but Violet—you couldn’t yell at a dorm mate for using up all the hot water the way you could your sister. You couldn’t squeeze your blackheads in front of the mirror, wrapped in a towel and dripping wet from a shower while she sat on the edge of the tub and clipped her toenails.
At Smith, Celia worried that she would never again feel truly comfortable.
Along with a month’s worth of groceries for a family of five, her mother had given her a prayer card with a picture of the Virgin printed on the front and her great-grandmother’s golden wall cross.
“You know this isn’t a convent, right?” her father teased his wife.
After a lifetime of Catholic school, Celia considered herself an atheist, but she was still terrified to throw these things in the trash—it seemed like a surefire way to get struck by lightning. Instead, she shoved them in the back of her top drawer and covered them over with underwear and socks.
Celia pulled two bottles of vodka from her suitcase, where they lay wrapped in a Snoopy bath towel that she’d had since she was eight. As she placed them in her mini-fridge, she realized with some delight that she didn’t have to hide them from anyone.
She unpacked the rest of her clothes and filled the closet. The room was small, with plain white wallpaper, a single bed, an oak dresser, a nightstand, and a dingy little mirror with a faded Clinton/Gore ’96 sticker stuck to the bottom. Having seen friends’ rooms at Holy Cross and BC, Celia knew that this one was cozy and clean by comparison. Smith had free cable TV in every room, and private phones for each student, and huge windows with thick sills you could sit on, reading for hours. Her parents were going into crazy debt so she could be here. (“We’ll be paying the loans off until
your kids are in college,” her father had said the previous spring, in one final attempt to make her go to a state school.) She knew she ought to feel grateful. Still, Celia got a little hysterical, imagining living the next four years between these walls.
She tried to go as long as she could without calling her mother. She lasted three hours.
“I started to drive on the way back here so your father could rest his eyes,” her mother said. “I didn’t even make it to exit eighteen before I was crying so hard that I had to pull over and switch seats with Daddy.”
Celia laughed. “I miss you guys so much already.”
Just then, a girl appeared outside the open door to her room. She looked like a middle-aged man, with a huge beer gut hanging over her khakis and a small brown stain on her white T-shirt. Her hair was slicked back, and she held a clipboard in her hand.
Celia hoped she hadn’t heard her blubbering away to her mother like a five-year-old.
“I gotta go,” she said into the phone.
“Celia Donnelly?” the girl said, looking down at her list. Her voice was deep and gravelly. “Pleased to meet you. I’m your HP—that’s house president—Jenna the Monster Truck Collins. First-year meeting in the living room in five.”
Downstairs in the living room a few minutes later, they sat in a circle on the floor, and Celia took stock of the other new girls. There were fifteen of them in all, and they mostly looked like the girls she’d known in high school. They wore jeans or cotton sundresses; they had touches of lip gloss and mascara on their faces, and smooth, long hair. Then there were the girls leading the meeting: Jenna the Monster Truck; two other seniors about her size, both named Lisa, both with cropped boy haircuts; and a junior named Becky, who looked like she might be positively gorgeous if only she gave a damn about her appearance. Her shoulder-length hair lay flat, clumped with grease, and her face was so shiny that, for the first time ever, Celia envisioned herself taking a little witch hazel to a stranger’s skin. With the exception of Jenna, they all wore flannel pajamas.
Is this what she and the others would become? Celia wondered. Did attending a women’s college make you relinquish all grooming products and embrace carbohydrates like you only had a week left to live? (Later she would learn that if you weren’t careful, the answers to these questions were yes and yes. After one semester, about a quarter of the girls would be going crazy, filling out transfer applications to Wesleyan or Swarthmore or any coed school that would take them midway through the year.)

The lottery is a game of chance in which prizes are awarded by random selection. People can play for a variety of reasons, but most often the money they spend on tickets is used to meet everyday needs like paying bills and buying food. However, the chances of winning are very slim – it is much more likely to be struck by lightning or win the Mega Millions jackpot than to find success in a lottery. In addition to the low odds of winning, there are also several negative effects that can result from lottery gambling. The best way to prevent compulsive gambling is to keep the amount of money spent on lottery tickets in check and use the funds for savings and investing.
Lotteries have become increasingly popular in the United States, and they are now legal in 37 states. While they are not a substitute for state revenue sources, they can generate significant amounts of cash for the states. In addition, they are an important source of income for non-profit organizations and educational institutions. However, the success of a lottery is not necessarily indicative of a state’s fiscal health or the overall health of its government. In fact, studies have shown that the relative popularity of a lottery does not seem to be connected with state budget deficits, and the overall popularity of lotteries seems independent of a state’s objective fiscal position.
One of the most important aspects of a lottery is its system for recording and pooling money bet by individual bettors. This is typically accomplished by having the bettor write his or her name and the amount staked on a ticket that is then deposited with the lottery organization for shuffling, if necessary, and selection in the drawing. Many modern lotteries also divide their tickets into fractions, such as tenths, and sell the fractions separately for marketing purposes.
Many people who play the lottery do so because they enjoy gambling and they see it as a way to increase their chances of winning. But for many people, the lottery is also an addictive form of gambling and it can negatively affect their quality of life. This is why it is important to know the best tricks to win the lottery and to stay away from this form of gambling.
The earliest state-sanctioned lotteries were conducted in the English colonies to raise money for building public works, such as roads and wharves. They also financed schools and colleges, and in colonial America George Washington sponsored a lottery to build a road across the Blue Ridge Mountains. Despite their initial popularity, lottery games have faced intense criticism in recent years. These critics have argued that the lottery is a form of state-sponsored monopoly, and that it is often unfair to lower-income groups. They have also questioned whether lotteries are socially responsible. The critics have also emphasized that a lottery’s proceeds can be better spent on other forms of government-sponsored social welfare programs. | <urn:uuid:84f7a9ba-8966-47a8-9309-feca0c218f4f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://priznayus.com/the-dangers-of-lottery-gambling/ | 2024-04-24T02:51:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.980598 | 580 |
On the 29th October 2015, the research team organised an event at the Watershed Bristol that was attended by a public, community and academic audience. We screened a premier viewing of ‘What do you see?’, a short film that gives insight into Bristol Muslim women’s visions of the public spaces of the future, including City Hall, a mosque, a market square, the Houses of Parliament and the United Nations.
The feature was also broadcast by ‘Made in Bristol TV’ shortly after, and can be viewed here (click on Current Affairs, then Hot Seat, then EE 88 Part 1).
The short film is based on research findings from the ‘Engaging Muslim Communities’ Project, and was co-produced by creative director Bashart Malik, researchers Therese O’Toole and Aleksandra Lewicki and a group of Muslim women from Bristol, including Nura Aabe, Suad Abdullahi, Adeela ahmed Shafi, Sheila Joy Raymond El, Shabana Kausar, and Tasleem Kaurser. The premier at the Watershed cinema was followed by a panel discussion with the director, the two researchers and the women who feature in the film.
‘Made in Bristol TV’ made highlights from this discussion available here (click on on Current Affairs, then Hot Seat, then EE 88 Part 2).
The brand new exhibition ‘Bristol Big Sisters‘ was launched, which has been put together in collaboration with the national Muslim Women’s Network UK. The display celebrates Muslim women role models from Bristol and invites others to follow their lead. It features over 20 women who have been contributing to public life, including magistrate Masuda Mian, theologian Amra Bone, anti-FGM Activist Fahma Mohamed, biologist Aziza El Harchi, community activist Sheila Joy El Dieb, Inspire’s Co-director Kalsoom Bashir, and performance poet Shagufta K. The exhibition display will go on a tour in Bristol, which will be organised in collaboration with Bristol City Council. | <urn:uuid:7b7f8624-1aec-40ce-a6b9-2c2f2d309183> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://productivemargins.blogs.bristol.ac.uk/2015/10/29/bristols-inspiring-muslim-women/ | 2024-04-24T03:03:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.951666 | 434 |

St Michaels Mount & More – CORNWALL
Starting off on a misty morning on the shores by St Michaels Mount, this wonderful trip to Cornwall was a fan favourite from our hospice study. The video commences with Ben walking across the beautiful beach before you take part in a wonderful drone flight out, over the sea and around the stunning Island that the castle sits upon.
Next, we head for a stroll through the bustling streets of Falmouth, wandering the cobbled streets, exploring down the pier and taking in the sights on a beautiful summer’s day before stopping for fish & chips.
The next location featured is Landsend, England’s most westerly point. A brief exploration around the tourist area before moving slightly down the coast so that the drone can be safely flown. This drone flight is beautiful, flying out over the sea, looking back at the beautiful Cornish coastline and the buildings of Landsend.
Finally, this video concludes with The Bedruthan Steps, a gentle walk along the raised coastline before a stunning drone flight over the golden sandy beaches, a truly gorgeous way to end this experience. | <urn:uuid:6eda3258-1682-4f4c-981a-38cf1bfa93b0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://projectvae.com/project/cornwall/ | 2024-04-24T03:14:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.898937 | 231 |

Increased insulin resistance leads to central obesity causing diabetes, hyper/dyslipidemias, atherosclerosis, hypertension, heart attack, stroke and renal failure Prof Emeritus Lt Gen Mahmud Ahmad Akhtar Former Surgeon General/DG Pak Armed Forces
Sleep is very important for health, both physical and mental. Poor sleep curtails life span. Regular exercise is also important for health. New studies have shown that exercise may help counteract consequences of poor sleep.In an ideal world, one would be better off to get ample sleep and ample exercise. A new study suggests that exercise could potentially help counteract the health consequences of not getting a proper amount of sleep. There may be a tendency to skip exercise to take rest after a poor sleep.
The new research builds upon a large body of work showing how critical areas both for sleep and fitness are pertained to overall health. Various studies show that healthy amount of each individual are linked to increase longevity and at least one suggested that sleep problems tended to increase the chances that a subject would die during the follow up period but that regular exercise help that eliminate the risk.
A team of researchers in China wanted to better understand the protective power of exercise, so it examined data collected in the United Kingdom from over 92000 adults between the ages of 40 and 73. Participants spent a week between 2013 and 2015 wearing a wrist band that measured how much they exercised and slept, which the researchers used as an indication of their lifestyle habits.
The researches then tracked the health outcomes of the participants years later. Predictably those who get partly sleep or those who slept too much (which itself can be a problematic and hardly exercised were those are generally more likely to die during that period) including from issues such as cardio-vascular disease and cancer but the researchers uncovered a surprising trend in the data. People who exercised regularly did not have an increased risk of death, even they only slept less than six hours each night.
The study suggested that completing 150 minutes of moderate or vigorous physical activity every week might negate some of the health consequences associated with sleeping too much or too little said the director of the center for Sleep and Circulation Medicine at the Affiliated Brain Hospital at Guangzhou Medical university and an author of the study.
“Doing something is better than doing nothing” he said. For example, regular short walks ride on a stationary bike could pay off.
The researchers on the new study theorized that working out might help balance out the effects of unhealthy sleep by combating inflammation or possibly helping regulating metabolism and sympathetic nervous system activities, Dr Zhang said. It is also possible that poor sleep contributes to heart disease risk by elevating blood pressure and inhibiting insulin resistance, said Dr Virend of Somers a Cardiologist who studies effects of sleep loss at the Mayo clinic. Exercise might counter this by regulating blood pressure and increased insulin resistance. Increased insulin resistance leads to central obesity causing diabetes, hyper/dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, hypertension heart attacks, strokes, renal failures, hepatic steatosis, cirrhosis, hepatoma and cancer etc.
One of the most compelling ways exercise interplays with sleep is in the brain, said Jenifer-Heisz, an associate professor at McMaster University and the author of “Move the Body, Heal the Mind”. This is partly because a hard workout prods our cells to produce adenosine which functions as a natural sleep aid. The more adenosine is generated throughout the day, the more restful and restorative sleep becomes- which could counteract a night or two of patchy test.
Still, that does not mean people should sacrifice rest in order to exercise said Tianyi Huang Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School who has studied sleep and Heart health. People who cannot get sufficient health are unlikely to have energy to stay active during the day, he said, especially if the lack of sleep stems from a hectic work schedule. Past research has also shown that morning workouts may influence body differently than evening ones.
“What this tells us is that if one cannot manage sleep optimally right now, they should schedule time to get moderate to vigorous physical activity said Dr Donald Lloyd Jones, a former President of the American Heart Association and the chair of the Preventive Medicine at Northwestern University Fienberg School of Medicine.
Promotion of Health and Prevention of diseases (Preventive Medicine) is in to the problem of Public health. It is cost effective as it costs very little in immunization/ vaccination etc. It is tragic that our health policy is lop-sided. Over 2/3rd of meagre health funds is spent on secondary and tertiary health particularly in building and running disease palaces, whereas, it should be the opposite. There is a separate ministry for the secondary/ tertiary care in the largest province Punjab. The policy is Americanization. American health-care system is spending the highest amount on health care system and placed at 56th position among the rich 61 countries with the worst health outcomes, even worse than the Eastern European countries spending much less. Universal health care system started in Geruang by Bismarck, Meig in Japan. Scandinavian Nordic countries, UK in the 19th century and other countries have best outcomes with less spending.
Pakistan is the only low/ mid income country not following the WHO expert committee Essential Drug System and using the irrational drugs, robbing the country and its people of health and meagre wealth inspite of accepting the WHOs Essential Drug List.
Pakistan’s health parameters are not only lowest in the region including Nepal and Bhutan, but also in the world except the war-torn Afghanistan and Syria due to its bad policies. KPK claimed to have installed the most modern CT scan/ MRI machines at Peshawar under the guidance of an American Trained Physician. The scribe has been writing for following the imported Primary care system but to no avail. | <urn:uuid:fa867ffb-cb15-4ea8-a874-349b492a34dc> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://pulsepakistan.com/poor-sleep-contributes-to-heartdisease-risk-by-elevating-blood-pressureand-inhibiting-insulin-resistance/ | 2024-04-24T03:57:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.954656 | 1,208 |

The energy flux to a surface during plasma exposure and the associated surface heating are of long standing interest as they contribute to the physico-chemical changes that occur during plasma-based materials synthesis and processing. Indeed, the energy delivered to the surface, via a flux of particles and photons, in concert with a flux of reactive species serves to chemically modify, etch, and/or deposit materials, with an efficacy that depends on the plasma processing environment. A unique feature of plasma synthesis and processing is that most of the delivered energy is absorbed at or very near the surface over short (picosecond) time scales. The dissipation of thermal energy proceeds through electron-electron and/or electron-phonon interactions as they propagate through the material, with relaxation time scales that can be orders of magnitude slower. Typically then, the surface is not in thermal equilibrium with the bulk material. Fast, surface-sensitive techniques are thus required to fully appreciate the dynamics of the plasma-surface interaction. In this work, we employ pump-probe Time-Domain Thermoreflectance, a surface sensitive technique typically used to measure thermal properties of thin films, to determine electron heating of thin metal films during exposure to an atmospheric pressure plasma jet. The results, in conjunction with current measurements, are used to develop a first order understanding of plasma jet-surface interactions. The results show that the energy delivered by the plasma jet causes a localized increase in electron energy within the thin film over an area commensurate with the plasma jet radius.

There are several transportation options available from Cairo Airport. The fastest and most common way is to take a taxi. It is advisable to avoid riding in the old black taxis as they don’t use meters and the drivers may ask for an exaggerated fare. Upper or the new white taxis, which use a meter, are a good choice if you are going anywhere around Cairo. The metro is one of the best ways to go from one place to another within Cairo. With the streets being crowded with cars and people most of the day, the metro has become the fastest means of transportation in the Egyptian capital. Although the metro can get rather crowded during the rush hours, it is still a good way to get around Central Cairo.
Most Egyptians, who live in the cities, speak or understand at least some English words or phrases. Fewer Egyptians can speak French, Italian, Spanish, and German. professionals, who work in the tourism sector, are accustomed to visitors who cannot speak Arabic and they will speak enough English and other languages to fulfill the needs of most travelers.
In less touristic places, relatively modest dress is recommended. Women should avoid very tight clothing, keep their shoulders and knees covered, and avoid very revealing necklines. Men should also avoid particularly revealing clothing. wearing shorts is not very common among Egyptians. Dressing with relative modesty is a way of respecting the local culture. The metro in Cairo has separate cars for women that might be more comfortable, especially during rush hours when the cars can be very full.
Most of the monuments, historical sites, and museums in Egypt open from 09:00 AM until 05:00 PM. Open-air historical sites, like the Pyramids of Giza, are open from 08:00 AM until sunset. Some museums have morning opening hours, from 09:00 AM to 04:00 PM evening opening hours, from 05:00 PM to 09:00 or 10:00 PM during Ramadan, the holy month of the Islamic calendar, be aware that these hours will change significantly.
Photography is allowed in most of the historical sites and museums in Egypt, but some of them have extra charges for taking in a camera. in some museums, like the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, and some historical sites, like the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, photography is prohibited, and visitors are asked to leave their cameras at the reception before entering.
modest dress would be highly recommended, and, in some mosques, women will be asked to cover their hair and perhaps their arms and legs. Both women and men will be asked to remove their shoes before entering a mosque.
Some travelers might suffer sunburn or heat stroke from the heat and sun during the summer if they are not careful; however, taking the proper precautions and drinking bottled water can eliminate any health risks.

HANOVER, Va. (AP) — The ACLU of Virginia is suing a Virginia school board over its refusal to comply with a 2020 law that requires districts to adopt protections for transgender students.
The Washington Post reports that the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia filed the lawsuit in Hanover County on Thursday on behalf of five families.
The law required state education officials to set rules for the treatment of transgender students, then mandated that all school districts adopt guidelines mirroring those rules.
Last month, the Hanover County School Board voted 4-to-3 against revising its rules. The lawsuit alleges the board “threatens transgender students’ entire identity, ostracizes them and deprives them of the basic humanity.”

How to Enroll in the Best X-Ray Technician Degree Program near Acworth Georgia
So you have decided to enroll in an X-ray tech school near Acworth GA so you can become a radiology technologist. And now that you have made a decision to go into the gratifying field of healthcare, exactly how do you go about choosing the right school and program to ensure that you will get the proper training to become a skilled professional? And considering that most states do require that x-ray technicians become licensed, depending on where you subsequently work you may require preparation to pass a licensing test. So it’s essential that you investigate each of the X-ray technician schools you are looking at in order to compare each program. Many prospective students start by searching for colleges or technical schools that are within commuting distance of their residences. Next, they check tuition and usually settle on the most affordable cost. But while cost and location should be considered, there are other significant qualifiers as well. For example, you need to find out if the radiology tech schools have earned accreditation, or if they sponsor internship programs. These inquiries and others you must ask the X-ray Tech schools you are reviewing are provided later in this article. But first, let’s explore what a radiologic tech does and the degrees and training options that are offered.
X-Ray Tech Job Summary in Acworth GA
There are a number of professional titles for x-ray techs (technicians or technologists). They can also be referred to as radiologic technicians or technologists, radiographers or radiology techs. No matter what the name, each has the same major job function, which is to employ imaging machines to internally visualize patients for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment. Some radiologic technologists may also administer radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer. Some elect to work as generalists, while there are those that have chosen a specialization, for instance mammography. They can work in Acworth GA hospitals, clinics, family practices or outpatient diagnostic imaging centers. The imaging technologies that an X-Ray technologist may work with include:
- Traditional and specialized X-Rays
- Computerized tomography (CT) or “CAT” scans
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Sonography or ultrasound
Radiographers must take care of their equipment plus regularly analyze its functionality and safety. They are additionally required to keep in-depth records of all of their diagnostic procedures. As medical practitioners, they must adhere to a code of conduct and a high professional standard.
Radiology Technician Degrees Available near Acworth GA
The primary requirement for enrolling in an x-ray tech program is to have received a high school diploma or equivalent. Radiologic technologist pupils have the option to earn either an Associate or a Bachelor’s Degree. An Associate Degree, which is the most common among techs, generally requires 18 months to 2 years to complete depending on the program and course load. A Bachelor’s Degree will take longer at up to 4 years to finish and is more comprehensive in nature. The majority of students select a degree major in Radiography, but there are additional similar majors that may be acceptable as well. Something to keep in mind is that radiographer colleges have a clinical training or lab component as a component of their course of study. It can often be fulfilled by taking part in an internship or externship program which many schools offer through local hospitals and clinics in Acworth GA or their region. Once you have graduated from one of the degree programs, you must abide by any licensing or certification mandates in Georgia or the state you will be working as applicable.
X-Ray Tech Certification and Licensing
After you have graduated from an Radiologist college, based on the state where you will be working you might need to be licensed. The majority of states do mandate licensing, and their criteria differ so check with your state. Presently, all states that do mandate licensure will recognize The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification examination for the purpose of licensing, but several accept other options for testing also. Several states also require certification as a component of the licensing procedure, if not it is voluntary. However, numerous Acworth area employers prefer to hire radiology techs that have earned certification so it could increase your career options in and around Acworth GA to become certified. ARRT’s certification program calls for graduation from an approved program as well as a passing score on their rigorous exam. ARRT also calls for re-certification every other year, which can be met with 24 credits of continuing ed, or by passing an examination.
Online Radiology Technologist Colleges
As a part of every degree program, x-ray tech schools will have practical or lab training included in their course of study. This is no different for online degree colleges. So while you can still earn your degree online, a large portion of the training will be completed either in a school lab or in an internship off-campus. Clinical training is often conducted in Acworth GA hospitals, outpatient clinics or private practices in sponsorship with the schools. But the online portion of the training may be attended in the comfort of your Acworth residence. Students who keep working while obtaining their degree usually discover that the online approach to education is far more convenient with their active schedules. Plus online programs are frequently more affordable than conventional alternatives. In addition to lower tuition, expenses for commuting and study materials may be lessened as well. But just be sure that the online school you choose is accredited (more on the benefits of accreditation later). So if you are disciplined enough to learn with this less structured type of training, then an online degree may be the ideal option for you.
Subjects to Ask Radiology Tech Colleges
After you have chosen the kind of degree that you want to earn, you can initiate the process of finding and evaluating x-ray tech colleges near Acworth GA. You will also have to determine if you want to attend online classes or commute to a nearby campus. If you choose the latter, then of course the location of the college will be important. The cost of tuition and supplementary expenditures will be a determining factor also. But in addition to cost and location, what else should you consider when evaluating schools? Well, you need to ask if the schools are accredited, and if they sponsor externship or internship programs. To help you find out some of these crucial details before you make your selection, we have compiled a list of questions that you need to ask the schools you are assessing.
Are the X-Ray Tech Schools Accredited? The majority of xray tech colleges have earned some form of accreditation, whether national or regional. However, it’s still important to verify that the program and school are accredited. Among the most highly regarded accrediting agencies in the field of radiology is the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT). Programs earning accreditation from the JRCERT have undergone a detailed review of their teachers and course materials. If the program is online it can also obtain accreditation from the Distance Education and Training Council, which targets distance or online education. All accrediting organizations should be recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or the Council on Higher Education Accreditation. Besides guaranteeing a superior education, accreditation will also assist in getting financial aid and student loans, which are often not available for non-accredited programs. Accreditation may also be a pre-requisite for licensing and certification as required. And numerous Acworth GA health facilities will only hire graduates of an accredited school for entry level jobs.
Are Internships Sponsored? Inquire if the radiology tech schools you are interested in have partnerships with local clinics or hospitals for internship programs.

One thing to bear in mind is that if you choose to enroll in a college that is out of state or even out of your local area, you might need to pay a higher tuition. State colleges often charge higher tuitions for out of state residents. And community colleges typically charge a higher tuition to those students that live outside of their districts.
How Big are the Classes ? Unless you are the sort of person that prefers to sit way in the rear of class or hide in the crowd, you will probably want a small class size. Smaller classes permit more individual participation and personalized instruction. Ask the Acworth GA schools you are considering what the typical student to teacher ratio is for their classes. If practical you may prefer to monitor one or more classes before making your final decision. This will also give you a chance to talk with a few of the instructors and students to get their opinions regarding the radiology tech program also.
Does the Program Accommodate your Schedule? And last you need to confirm that the xray tech program you ultimately choose can offer the class schedule you need. This is especially important if you decide to continue working while attending school. If you need to schedule night or weekend classes in the Acworth GA area, make sure that they are offered.

How to Enroll in the Right Radiology Tech College near Carnesville Georgia
So you have made the decision to enroll in an X-ray tech school near Carnesville GA in order to learn to be a radiologic technician. And now that you have decided to enter the satisfying field of healthcare, how do you go about choosing the right college and program to ensure that you will receive the proper training to become a qualified professional? And because the majority of states do require that radiology technicians become licensed, depending on where you subsequently practice you may require training to pass a licensing examination. So it’s essential that you investigate each of the X-ray technician schools you are considering in order to compare each program. A number of students begin by searching for technical schools or colleges that are within commuting distance of their residences. Next, they check tuition and usually settle on the most affordable cost. But while cost and location should be considered, there are additional important qualifiers as well. For example, you need to find out whether or not the radiology tech schools are accredited, or if they offer internships. These questions and others you should ask the X-ray Tech schools you are examining are provided later in this post. But first, let’s explore what a x-ray tech does and the credentials and training options that are available.
X-Ray Technician Occupation Summary in Carnesville GA
There are several professional designations for x-ray techs (technologists or technicians). They may also be called radiologic technicians or technologists, radiology technicians or radiographers. Irrespective of the name, each has the same fundamental job function, which is to utilize imaging machines to internally visualize patients for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment. A number of radiologic technologists may also provide radiation therapy for treating cancer. Some choose to perform as generalists, while there are those that have chosen a specialization, such as mammography. They can practice in Carnesville GA hospitals, clinics, family practices or outpatient diagnostic imaging centers. The imaging technologies that an X-Ray tech might utilize include:
- Traditional and specialized X-Rays
- Computerized tomography (CT) or “CAT” scans
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Sonography or ultrasound
Radiographers have to care for their equipment plus regularly analyze its functionality and safety. They are additionally required to retain detailed records of each of their diagnostic procedures. As health practitioners, they must adhere to a code of conduct and a high professional standard.
Radiology Technician Degree Options near Carnesville GA
The basic prerequisite for enrolling in an x-ray tech college is to have received a high school diploma or equivalent. Radiologic technologist students have the choice to earn either an Associate or a Bachelor’s Degree. An Associate Degree, which is the most prevalent among technicians, generally requires 18 months to 2 years to complete depending on the program and course load. A Bachelor’s Degree will take more time at up to 4 years to finish and is more expansive in nature. The majority of students choose a degree major in Radiography, but there are additional related majors that are appropriate as well. One thing to consider is that radiographer programs have a clinical training or lab component as part of their curriculum. It can often be satisfied by taking part in an externship program which many schools sponsor through local hospitals and clinics in Carnesville GA or their area. After you have graduated from one of the degree programs, you will need to abide by any licensing or certification requirements in Georgia or the state you will be working as applicable.
Radiologic Technologist Certification and Licensing
Once you have graduated from an x-ray technician school, depending on the state where you will be practicing you may need to become licensed. Most states do require licensing, and their criteria vary so contact your state. Currently, all states that do mandate licensing will recognize The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) certification examination for the purpose of licensing, but several offer additional alternatives for testing as well. Several states also call for certification as part of the licensing procedure, if not it is voluntary. However, numerous Carnesville area employers favor hiring radiology techs that are certified so it could increase your career options in and around Carnesville GA to earn certification. ARRT’s certification program calls for graduation from an approved program as well as a passing score on their rigorous examination. ARRT also requires re-certification every other year, which can be met with 24 credits of continuing education, or by passing an examination.
Online Radiology Technician Classes
As a component of any degree program, x-ray tech schools will have practical or lab training included in their curriculum. This is no different for online degree colleges. So although you can still obtain your degree online, a large amount of the training will be satisfied either in a college lab or in an externship off campus. Practical training is typically carried out in Carnesville GA family practices, medical clinics or hospitals in sponsorship with the colleges. But the online section of the training can be attended in the privacy of your Carnesville home. Students who keep working while earning their degree often discover that the online approach to education is far more practical with their active schedules. Plus online schools are often less costly than on-campus alternatives. Along with reduced tuition, expenses for commuting and study materials may be reduced as well. But just make sure that the online program you pick is accredited (more on the advantages of accreditation later). So if you are disciplined enough to learn with this less structured type of training, then an online degree may be the ideal option for you.
Subjects to Ask Radiologic Tech Programs
When you have decided on the type of degree that you want to earn, you can begin the process of finding and evaluating x-ray technician schools near Carnesville GA. You will also need to determine if you prefer to attend online classes or drive to a nearby campus. If you choose the latter, then naturally the location of the school will be important. The price of tuition and secondary expenses will be a material variable also. But in addition to cost and location, what else should you look at when evaluating schools? Well, you should ask if the colleges are accredited, and if they sponsor externship or internship programs. To help you find out some of these important details before you make your decision, we have put together a list of questions that you must ask the schools you are considering.
Are the X-Ray Tech Colleges Accredited? A large number of radiology technician colleges have earned some form of accreditation, whether regional or national. Even so, it’s still crucial to verify that the program and school are accredited. One of the most highly respected accrediting agencies in the field of radiology is the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT). Programs receiving accreditation from the JRCERT have gone through a detailed review of their instructors and educational materials. If the school is online it can also earn accreditation from the Distance Education and Training Council, which focuses on online or distance learning. All accrediting agencies should be acknowledged by the U.S. Department of Education or the Council on Higher Education Accreditation. Along with guaranteeing a premium education, accreditation will also help in securing financial aid and student loans, which are frequently not offered for non-accredited colleges. Accreditation may also be a pre-requisite for certification and licensing as required. And numerous Carnesville GA employers will only hire graduates of an accredited program for entry level positions.
Are Internship Programs Sponsored? Inquire if the xray technician schools you are evaluating have partnerships with area clinics or hospitals for internship programs. Not only are internships a great manner to obtain practical training in a clinical setting, they are additionally a means to fulfill the clinical training requirement for the majority of programs. As a supplemental benefit, they can help graduates and students develop professional relationships in the Carnesville GA medical community and help with job placement.
Is Job Placement Help offered? You will probably want to hit the ground running after graduation, but finding that first job in Carnesville GA in a new profession can be difficult without help. Find out if the x-ray tech schools you are interviewing have job placement programs and what their success rates are. High and rapid placement rates are a good indication that the schools have sizable networks and good relationships with Georgia healthcare employers. It also substantiates that their graduates are highly regarded and in demand.
Where is the College Located? For a number of students, the school they select will need to be within travelling distance of their Carnesville GA residence. Students who have decided to attend online classes obviously will not have to worry themselves with the location of the campus. However, the availability of local internships will be of importance. Something to consider is that if you decide to enroll in a college that is out of state or even out of your local area, you may need to pay a higher tuition. State colleges normally charge higher tuitions for out of state residents. And community colleges usually charge a higher tuition to those students that live outside of their districts.
What Size are the Classes ? Unless you are the sort of student that prefers to sit way in the back of class or hide in the crowd, you will probably want a smaller class size. Smaller classes enable more individual participation and one-on-one instruction. Ask the Carnesville GA schools you are considering what the average student to teacher ratio is for their classrooms. If practical you may prefer to monitor one or more classes before making your ultimate determination. This will also give you an opportunity to talk with several of the instructors and students to get their perspectives regarding the xray technician program as well.
Can the Program Accommodate your Schedule? And finally you need to verify that the xray tech college you ultimately select can provide the class schedule you need. This is particularly crucial if you choose to continue working while attending classes. If you need to schedule night or weekend classes in the Carnesville GA area, make sure that they are offered. If you can only attend part-time, verify if that is an alternative and how many courses or credit hours you would have to carry. Also, learn what the protocol is for making up any classes that you may miss due to illness, work or family obligations.

A month ago, the LA Rams were ranked as the team with the seventh-highest-valued arsenal of draft picks with an aggregate value of 915.7. Today, the LA Rams are ranked as the team with the ninth-highest-valued arsenal of draft picks with an aggregate value of 890.4. So, what happened?
What happened is that the projected awarded compensatory draft picks were formally awarded. In the process, the Rams projected compensatory draft picks of one pick in Round 5 and three picks in Round 6 actually became three picks in Round 6 and one pick in Round 7.
The Rams special awarded compensatory pick in Round 3 for the hire of Raheem Morris as the Atlanta Falcons new head coach did not change.
LA Rams updated 2024 NFL Draft picks
In terms of Top -100 value, the team improved ever so slightly. The compensatory pick in Round 3 was moved up from 100 to 98, which could be vital if the team has a coveted prospect on the board in Round 3.
Where the team's biggest tumble occurred was the removal of a compensatory pick in Round 5, and the addition of a compensatory pick in Round 7. While they were two separate picks, the net effect is the same as if they were one and the same. So here is the updated LA Rams draft picks for the 2024 NFL Draft.
- 19th overall - Round 1
- 52nd overall - Round 2
- 83rd overall - Round 3
- 98th overall - Round 3 (comp pick)
- 153rd overall - Round 5
- 154th overall - Round 5 (via Pittsburgh)
- 195th overall - Round 6 (via Denver)
- 209th overall- Round 6 (comp pick)
- 213th overall - Round 6 (comp pick)
- 217th overall - Round 6 (comp pick)
- 254th overall - Round 7 (comp pick)
So what stands out?
New strategies Rams must adopt after updated picks
The first change to the team's draft picks is the even greater gap in the heart of the the 2024 NFL Draft. We know that the Rams front office can be a sharpshooter on Day 3, particularly in Round 5 of the draft. But with the new updated picks, the team has gone from three to two Round 5 picks. While that may not feel like a great loss in terms of draft value, keep in mind that WR Puka Nacua was selected with the 177th overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. That is the pick lost when the projected compensatory picks were officially ratified for the 2024 NFL Draft
New strategy; Trading back is more likely to add an additional pick in Round 5
The second change to the team's draft picks is the fact that they only hold two picks out of the middle 100 selections made in this draft. From the 98th pick in Round 3, the Rams only step up to the podium twice before returning for the 195th pick. That is a long time to wait in a draft that is loaded with talent through at least the better part of Round 4.
New strategy: Trading back to fill the gap between the 98th overall and the 195th overall is more likely. Look for the team to trade back in Round 1 or 2, and pick up multiple picks early in Day 3. I expect the Rams to emerge with at least one pick in Round 4.
The third change to the team's draft picks is the presence of a pick in Round 7. While I originally did not view the team prioritizing a kicker in the 2024 NFL Draft with picks no later than Round 6, with a pick in Round 7, that is no longer likely to be the case.
New strategy: The Rams will draft a kicker with their Round 7 draft pick

Want a long, hard life? Most of us don’t. But then we behave in less than stellar ways toward our future or new in-laws. It could be we do not know better, or that we are too lazy to put in the effort. Whatever the excuse, it is an excuse and you could be setting yourself up for a world of pain by not caring enough.
In-laws are not that hard to please. If you are a halfway decent sort, your new in-laws will know that you are committed to making their daughter or son happy. So if you show you care, that is often more than enough. And how does a wannabe so or daughter in law do that?
Here are ways to show your new mother or father in law that you care very much.
And you need to start paying attention before you meet them. Start at the first mention your significant other makes about her family. Nothing is more impressive and satisfying to an in-law than to hear that their offspring has been talking about them. If needed, take notes about hobbies, fields of interest, favorite authors, favorite sports teams, etc.
On a different but related note, do your homework. Be sure to ask your significant other what topics are safe and what you should steer clear of talking about. Having an idea of where dragons lie asleep will help you avoid dangerous territory and keep the conversation enjoyable.
Dress like you care.
Put thought into what you wear. Or, at the least, do not show up at your first meeting in jean shorts and flip-flops. It should not matter. And yes, they should be able to see straight to your heart of gold. But, unfortunately, no one is above judging others based on their outfit for the day.
At the very least, make sure your clothes have no rips, stains, off-putting odors, wrinkles, or missing buttons. But try to shoot above the bare minimum of chic fashion. Go for elegant over fashionable. And classics over trends.
Don’t skimp when it comes to gifts.
As soon as you know that you want your current relationship to last, find out important dates in your in-law’s lives and step up your gift-giving game.
It is more about the thoughtfulness than the gift itself. For example, if you know that your new in-law is a woodworker, get these Atlanta branding heads so they can stamp their products with their initials. Moves like this show that you have spent time in thinking about what will make them happy. And you will find that often, it is the thought and effort that you put forth that will win you the most brownie points.
Even if your significant other is out of the habit of getting his or her parents a gift, you should still engage in this tradition. There is little more endearing to parents than a son or daughter in law who knows how to give the perfect gift.
We should not have to say this, but minding your manners will matter to your in-laws. In fact, manners matter in most social situations. But for anyone in the generation before yours, it’s better to err on the side of politeness and formality than casualness. You might need to earn the right to call them by their first name. Practice good table manners, and brush up on social etiquette guidelines if you need a refresher. Comport yourself well, not only with your in-laws.

Are you looking for effective packers and movers in Delhi because you need to make a move soon? If yes, you have managed to come to the right spot. You are in the right place. This blog talks about, in particular, all the stuff that you need to keep in the back of your mind while looking for moving companies. It is indeed a difficult task to find the best person from a crowded market. But you will have to do it. Put in the right effort. And see the results. But before you do anything, go through this blog and have a look at 10 essential factors that you mustn’t forget if possible while searching for a suitable mover in Delhi. Let’s get started.
Table of Contents
Have you ever hired a novice? If you haven’t, you don’t know the mess this choice of yours creates. A novice lacks practical experience, and thus there is always a very strong possibility of in-transit damage. Consider the following scenario. To save money, your company uses low-quality packing and wrapping materials. And the same doesn’t have much experience in packing as well. And thus, this unprofessional approach fails in providing the required safeguard for your belongings in transport and your household articles get damaged. This is what a novice may give you at low costs. Whether you want to hire packers and movers from Delhi to Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, or Patna, ensure that you hire a highly experienced company for a smooth shifting experience.
Another thing is comprehensiveness. Don’t forget to check this factor while looking for packers and movers. If you don’t know what it means, consider the following. Suppose a moving company in Delhi offers all types of services. Or, in other words, the company can meet all your shifting-related requirements alone, whether you need warehousing and storage needs in Delhi or office shifting assistance in Delhi. In that case, this person is called comprehensive. You just don’t have to hire any other person. One service provider is enough for you. So, don’t forget to ensure this condition as well. By the way, all top professionals are all-inclusive.
The next item on the list is effective communication. By this, we mean the following thing. There has got to be some inventory tracking system in place. It is going to be online. For example, suppose your belongings are out on the way to your new location where you have planned to shift to. In that case, wouldn’t it be great if you could track the movement of your inventory until they finally reach you? Well, if it were possible, that would be definitely great. So, ensure such a facility and make your transport or moving easy and fun.
Are you really looking forward to making your move fun? If yes, then definitely, there is no way you are going to miss this point. While exploring the most suitable person, don’t forget to ensure good transport facilities, especially if you are moving from Delhi to another Indian city. Of course, you have got to do this. Do you want your things not delivered on time because the vehicle got punctured? Thus, make sure the transport vehicle that you hire for the transportation of your belongings is in good condition.
Not just you, nobody can afford to pay extra money just because of a stupid broker? To get the idea across, consider the following scenario. Suppose you needed packers and movers from Delhi to Kolkata. So, you did a Google search and really found someone genuine—well, this you thought at first. But later, after paying everything in advance, you came to know that this company was just like a middleman who outsources services from other dealers, and service providers. And it is not like a full-fledged company. So, you had to pay a big commission. This way, your pocket is going to get ruined. So, make sure at the beginning that you don’t deal with a broker under the misunderstanding of a full-fledged moving company.
Packers and movers have to be affordable as well. So, if possible, decide on someone who is genuinely capable of providing you with cheap services. Many a time, it happens that things are really cost-effective, but you have to compromise on quality. But if there is a choice, definitely ensure this condition and make shifting economical. Before making a deal, collect and compare quotations from as many moving companies as possible. It will let you know which the cheapest option is in relative terms.
Another thing that you must pay attention to while interacting with packers and movers is feedback. Don’t go about finalising any deal with any company unless you have gone through the genuine opinions of previous customers. The feedback you entertain must be positive, or you cannot hire the moving company in Delhi. Positive or supportive reviews indicate that a particular person is well-experienced, reliable and honest. And if the same expressions are negative, the opposite is true.
Now, we have come down to this point. The factor is related to certification. There are many reputable online directories. If a moving company is certified or recommended by any of them, it is going to be great. Such companies become more trustworthy. And thus, you don’t have to think twice before you hire anyone. Hence, look for such certifications.
Ensure you don’t have to deal with hidden charges. Sometimes, movers and packers in Delhi really want to look affordable at face value, as it helps attract customers. But they cannot decrease rates, as it undermines profit prospects. So, what they resort to doing rather than decreasing the rates is keeping certain charges hidden. And unless you take the initiative to investigate a bit in this direction, nobody is going to disclose the true pricing scheme! So, beware.
In the previous section, we talked about the horrible case of hidden charges. Now, let’s take the matter a bit further. Ensure you have a valid bill. Just make a deal, give the deposit for security, and then ask for your bill. The invoice must contain all the terms of the bargain and charges. See that the charges mentioned on the bill mustn’t be subject to change. And this way, rule out the possibility of hidden charges. Always get reliable packers and movers at your service. | <urn:uuid:95d7d706-a906-4d89-a95d-d32c1ad8e8e1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://readesh.com/10-things-to-pay-attention-to-while-hiring-packers-and-movers-in-delhi/ | 2024-04-24T02:49:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.953573 | 1,322 |
