One of our favorite places to relax is Little Palm Island in the Florida Keys. With only fourteen grass huts, each with its own hammock, it’s a very private place. Fortunately, there’s also a five star restaurant. We visited in 1990, when Linda was pregnant, and again in 1993, although we endured several inches of rain on that trip.
You arrive by boat…
…at a tiny island a few miles off the keys. This is where PT-109 was filmed. It was long a private retreat, but now accommodates a handful of guests, who relax, play, recreate, and dine in the five-start restaurant.
There are fourteen of these grass-thatched huts.
Lush plantings of Palm trees lend the island a South Seas flavor.
The rooms really have thatched roofs…
…but they’re far from austere.
And the best seat on the island is the hammock outside your door. | <urn:uuid:eee8373a-1400-49a5-8ec0-bfd06045485a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://stevealcorn.com/category/travel/north-america/united-states/florida/the-keys/ | 2024-04-14T22:42:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.963215 | 204 |

Need to settle on the right car insurance policy?
It is required by law that you have car insurance policy before hitting the road. Finding a suitable auto insurance policy is significant, not just a coverage that fulfills your State’s requirement but the one that caters for your needs. However, it is not always cheap, especially when you do not know where you can get the best coverage. Below is a look at three simple yet practical means to save your money on car insurance:
1. Shop around
Do not settle for the first insurer you find on your quest. There are multiple insurance providers, each with different policies and terms. Shop around, negotiate and if necessary, use the services of an insurance broker.
2. Stick around
Loyalty pays. This is to say that, if you use one insurance provider for an extended period, you are likely to enjoy discounts. This means that you will save money over time and as you stick to the same insurer, get better bargains. You can also use your auto insurance provider for other insurance needs such as home insurance to be able to get a better bargain.
3. Buy carefully and maintain your car
While shopping for a vehicle, select the one that is well maintained especially when you acquire a used car. A well-maintained car is less likely to get involved in an accident. Insurance providers consider the type and fitness of a vehicle when determining premiums payables. The type of car that you purchase says a lot about its safety. Modern cars are equipped with features that enhance safe driving. Such vehicles attract lesser insurance cost.
Your credit score is another thing to consider in your quest to save money on your car insurance. Car insurance is a necessity, but it does not have to tear your pocket to have it. Ensure that you take measures to save money while getting the best coverage the market has to offer.

The Big Four, Builders Of The World's First Transcontinental Railroad Through Their Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR) - Leland Stanford, Collis Potter Huntington, Mark Hopkins Jr., And Charles Crocker - For All The Great Good, Great Bad And Great Change That The Railroad Brought, Hosted And Narrated By Kenny Rogers And Presented In The Highest DVD Quality MPG Video Format Of 9.1 MBPS As An MP4 Video Download Or Archival Quality All Regions Format DVD! (Color, 1993, 48 Minutes.)
"The Big Four" was the name popularly given to the famous and influential businessmen, philanthropists and railroad tycoons who funded the Central Pacific Railroad (C.P.R.R.), which formed the western portion through the Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains of the First Transcontinental Railroad in the United States, built from the mid-continent at the Missouri River to the Pacific Ocean during the middle and late 1860s. Composed of Leland Stanford (1824–1893), Collis Potter Huntington (1821–1900), Mark Hopkins Jr. (1813–1878), and Charles Crocker (1822–1888), the four themselves, however, personally preferred to be known as "The Associates." They enriched themselves utilizing tax money and land grants, while heavily influencing the State legislature from within the Republican party (Stanford was governor of California when the first of the Pacific Railroad Acts was passed), and through monopolizing tactics. Contemporary critics claimed they were the greatest swindlers in U.S. history.
Amasa Leland Stanford (March 9, 1824 - June 21, 1893) was an American industrialist and politician. A member of the Republican Party, he served as the 8th governor of California from 1862 to 1863 and represented California in the United States Senate from 1885 until his death in 1893. He and his wife Jane were also the founders of Stanford University, which they named after their late son. Prior to his political career, Stanford was a successful merchant and wholesaler who built his business empire after migrating to California during the Gold Rush. As president of the Central Pacific Railroad and later the Southern Pacific from 1885 to 1890, he held tremendous power in the region and a lasting impact on California. Stanford is widely considered a robber baron.
Collis Potter Huntington (October 22, 1821 - August 13, 1900) was an American industrialist and railway magnate. He was one of the Big Four of western railroading (along with Leland Stanford, Mark Hopkins, and Charles Crocker) who invested in Theodore Judah's idea to build the Central Pacific Railroad as part of the first U.S. transcontinental railroad. Huntington helped lead and develop other major interstate lines, such as the Southern Pacific Railroad and the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway (C&O), which he was recruited to help complete. The C&O, completed in 1873, fulfilled a long-held dream of Virginians of a rail link from the James River at Richmond to the Ohio River Valley. The new railroad facilities adjacent to the river there resulted in expansion of the former small town of Guyandotte, West Virginia into part of a new city which was named Huntington in his honor. Turning attention to the eastern end of the line at Richmond, Huntington directed the C&O's Peninsula Extension in 1881-82, which opened a pathway for West Virginia bituminous coal to reach new coal piers on the harbor of Hampton Roads for export shipping. He also is credited with the development of Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, as well as the incorporation of Newport News, Virginia as a new independent city. After his death, both his nephew Henry E. Huntington and his stepson Archer M. Huntington continued his work at Newport News. All three are considered founding fathers in the community, with local features named in honor of each. Much of the railroad and industrial development which Collis P. Huntington envisioned and led are still important activities in the early 21st century. The Southern Pacific is now part of the Union Pacific Railroad, and the C&O became part of CSX Transportation, each major U.S. railroad systems. West Virginia coal is still transported by rail to be loaded onto colliers at Hampton Roads. Nearby, Huntington Ingalls Industries operates the massive shipyard at Newport News. From his base in Washington, Huntington was a lobbyist for the Central Pacific and the Southern Pacific in the 1870s and 1880s. The Big Four had built a powerful political machine, which he had a large role in running. He was generous in providing bribes to politicians and congressmen. Revelation of his misdeeds in 1883 made him one of the most hated railroad men in the country.
Mark Hopkins Jr. (September 1, 1813 – March 29, 1878) was an American railroad executive. He was one of four principal investors that funded Theodore D. Judah's idea of building a railway over the Sierra Nevada from Sacramento, California to Promontory, Utah. They formed the Central Pacific Railroad along with Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker, and Collis Huntington in 1861.
Charles Crocker (September 16, 1822 – August 14, 1888) was an American railroad executive who was one of the founders of the Central Pacific Railroad, which constructed the westernmost portion of the first transcontinental railroad, and took control with partners of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
The Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR) was a rail company chartered by U.S. Congress in 1862 to build a railroad eastwards from Sacramento, California, to complete the western part of the "First transcontinental railroad" in North America. Incorporated in 1861, CPRR ceased operation in 1885 when it was acquired by Southern Pacific Railroad as a leased line. Following the completion of the Pacific Railroad Surveys in 1855, several national proposals to build a transcontinental railroad failed because of the energy consumed by political disputes over slavery. With the secession of the South in 1861, the modernizers in the Republican Party controlled the US Congress. They passed legislation in 1862 authorizing the central rail route with financing in the form of land grants and government railroad bond, which were all eventually repaid with interest. The government and the railroads both shared in the increased value of the land grants, which the railroads developed. The construction of the railroad also secured for the government the economical "safe and speedy transportation of the mails, troops, munitions of war, and public stores".
North America's first transcontinental railroad (known originally as "The Pacific Railroad" and later as "The Overland Route") was a 1,911-mile (3,075 km) continuous railroad line constructed between 1863 and 1869 that connected the existing eastern U.S. rail network at Council Bluffs, Iowa, with the Pacific coast at the Oakland Long Wharf on San Francisco Bay. The rail line was built by three private companies over public lands provided by extensive US land grants. Building was financed by both state and US government subsidy bonds as well as by company-issued mortgage bonds. The Western Pacific Railroad Company built 132 miles (212 km) of track from the road's western terminus at Alameda/Oakland to Sacramento, California. The Central Pacific Railroad Company of California (CPRR) constructed 690 miles (1,110 km) east from Sacramento to Promontory Summit, Utah Territory. The Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) built 1,085 miles (1,746 km) from the road's eastern terminus at the Missouri River settlements of Council Bluffs and Omaha, Nebraska, westward to Promontory Summit. The railroad opened for through traffic between Sacramento and Omaha on May 10, 1869, when CPRR President Leland Stanford ceremonially tapped the gold "Last Spike" (later often referred to as the "Golden Spike") with a silver hammer at Promontory Summit. In the following six months, the last leg from Sacramento to San Francisco Bay was completed. The resulting coast-to-coast railroad connection revolutionized the settlement and economy of the American West. It brought the western states and territories into alignment with the northern Union states and made transporting passengers and goods coast-to-coast considerably quicker, safer and less expensive. The first transcontinental rail passengers arrived at the Pacific Railroad's original western terminus at the Alameda Terminal on September 6, 1869, where they transferred to the steamer Alameda for transport across the Bay to San Francisco. The road's rail terminus was moved two months later to the Oakland Long Wharf, about a mile to the north, when its expansion was completed and opened for passengers on November 8, 1869. Service between San Francisco and Oakland Pier continued to be provided by ferry. The CPRR eventually purchased 53 miles (85 km) of UPRR-built grade from Promontory Summit (MP 828) to Ogden, Utah Territory (MP 881), which became the interchange point between trains of the two roads. The transcontinental line became popularly known as the Overland Route after the name of the principal passenger rail service to Chicago that operated over the length of the line until 1962. | <urn:uuid:1c2a1645-51d8-43b9-9a47-22c506d4c754> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://store.earthstation1.com/bigfotyoffit.html | 2024-04-15T00:41:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.969052 | 1,883 |

The Queue times for Arenas and Battlegrounds can sometimes be very long, especially as players on Oceanic realms have been reporting. Blizzard has now stepped in to reduce the times to find a match significantly by connecting Oceanic Realms with American Realms!
We’ve seen data and feedback from players on Oceanic realms that they have had very long queues for PvP activities, so we’ve decided to make it possible for them to queue into games with their counterparts in the Americas. This configuration change was made during maintenance today.
The PvP queue system will continue to prioritize matching players with other players in the same region, but if it can’t find a match within the same region in a reasonable amount of time, it will extend the search to include players from both Oceanic and Americas realms.
The change was put into place after Arena Season awards for Season 5 were assigned. It was necessary for us to keep the two regions’ leaderboards separate until after the final rankings were determined.

Stories are, fundamentally, all about conflict.
In most stories, your protagonist wants something—to change a law or the government itself, to avenge a death, to hook up with the cutie, to dispel a curse—and your antagonist usually wants something that is in direct opposition of whatever the protagonist wants.
From those opposing wants come the narrative conflict and thus… read more

Take Loki, from the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. His character arc is a great example of someone going to increasingly more desperate ends… read more
Now that we’ve established what a point-of-view (POV) and a Narrative Voice are, let’s talk about Unreliable Narrators. These are narrators who, either because of the way they interpret the world, omissions in their story, or outright falsehoods and manipulation, lie to the reader.
In the first part of this series, I talked about the narrator as the driver of a story, the… read more
Once you’ve chosen your narrator, your next job is to figure out how they speak. Have a good long think about how their upbringing, social class, race, gender, sexuality, education, job, family home life, nation, etc. interconnect and serve to shape their morals, choices, preferences, and understanding of the world.
And once you’ve got that down, think about how all of those… read more
Depending on how your plot is structured and the way your scenes are woven together, both your narrative and your readers may benefit from being able to experience your story through multiple different narrators.
The Easy Stuff
This storytelling choice allows the readers to experience different moments and episodes within the plot, perhaps when one… read more
Welcome to the first of five articles about creating a narrative voice.
Deciding who your narrator is going to be is not only vital for you as a creator —because without someone to tell the story on your behalf, you can’t tell it at all—but it will also effect how and why your story is exists at all. This makes narrative voice the most important decision you can make before… read more
Protagonist vs. Antagonist
Every story needs a main cast, but which characters qualify? How do we know who is important and who plays a supporting role? Let's talk about characters!

Details about this bizarre ‘McChicken’ assault below…
Hill, 21, was referred to as ‘a picky eater’ in news reports after he was jailed Tuesday for reportedly using a McDonald’s McChicken sandwich as a weapon against his pregnant wife.
Authorities were called to the couple’s home after an argument ensued over the popular fast food sandwich.
According to the police report, Hill said his wife woke him up around 1 p.m. with a McChicken in hand. He told authorities that he became upset and threw the sandwich at her, then picked up some of the bun, throwing it at her again.
The woman went to the bathroom to clean herself up but Hill followed her and began recording her using his cellphone, which he later shared with police in an effort to prove it was HIM that was assaulted by the McChicken. In the video, police saw the woman knock the phone out of his hands.
Officers noticed that Hill’s wife had mayonnaise on her shirt and face and according to the woman, Hill had forcefully smashed the bun into her face.
Authorities also noted that the woman’s nose was swollen and believed Hill was trying to entice the woman into knocking the phone out of his hands to make her appear aggressive, the report stated. Hill was arrested and his weapons permit was confiscated.
Hill finally admitted to police that he threw the sandwich at his wife “because he doesn’t like them” and officers arrested him for simple domestic assault.
Hill remains in custody at this time. (source)

Working from home. The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed what was once inconceivable into a necessity to keep businesses operating.
A Shift Towards Working From Home
There has been a significant shift towards both men and women working from home. The number of U.S. remote employees increased from 17% to almost half of the entire U.S. workforce during the pandemic, and new data shows that most employees prefer to stay at home. Many companies have already begun implementing new work-from-home policies.
Tech giants like Facebook and Twitter are already considering permanent work-from-home positions for employees. Amazon recently reversed course on its aggressive return-to-office plan and announced individual teams will now decide how to work. According to a study from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, nearly 40% of U.S. full-time workers have occupations compatible with operating remotely once the pandemic is over. What many have deemed non-traditional in the past is quickly becoming the norm in many fields of business.
Benefits of Working From Home
A National Bureau of Economic Research study, “Why Working from Home Will Stick,” found employers are more open to work-from-home arrangements for their employees than before the pandemic. Workers are showing they can be productive working at home. Going forward, they plan for at least 30 percent of their employees to work from home at least one full day per week.
Companies also are reaping benefits from remote work. A larger talent pool, increased productivity, and reduced overhead costs are some of these benefits.
Simply put, working from home is here to stay.
With both employers and employees turning to remote work, entrepreneurs should strive to adapt. Making the shift towards remote work will give their businesses a competitive edge and ensure new levels of freedom and growth by having the flexibility to operate anywhere.

So you’ve hired a talented, ambitious assistant – great! But what’s the best way to train an assistant? Top-tier training and resources are what separate the highest-performing assistants from the rest.
But do you have the time to develop and provide the comprehensive training your assistant needs? If you’ve hired an assistant to help you leverage your time, the answer is probably “no.”
Our founders were in the exact same boat, so they devised the ideal strategy to help – Superpowers Membership.
What is a Superpowers Membership?
Let’s talk about it…
What is a Superpowers Membership?
At Superpowers, we pride ourselves on training, equipping, and supporting the industry’s top-performing virtual Executive Assistants. Normally, we also hire and onboard your assistant for you, but if you’ve already got one, no problem!
With a Superpowers Membership, you can give your assistant a competitive advantage through access to our training, community, and education resources. These are the same resources we use to train and equip our top-performing Superpowers Assistants.
- We facilitate the training process so you can remain “hands off.”
- We are in the trenches of the assistant world day to day, so we update and optimize our training to ensure your assistant gets the latest and best assistant-specific training.
A Superpowers Membership allows you to focus on your work while your assistant receives the absolute best, specialized assistant training.
What does a Superpowers Membership Provide?
With your Superpowers Membership, your assistant can access many of the same resources we provide our assistants:
1. A support community of top-performing Executive Assistants
Superpowers Members are welcomed into the Superpowers Assistant Community. They can access our Slack channels where our community of experienced assistants shares ideas and answers questions.
We find assistants often need an answer to a question in a pinch. Maybe they need a recommendation for a reliable contractor, a formula for conducting discovery calls, or help navigating a new software program.
With the collective experience of our top-performing assistants, the answer to your assistant’s question is usually just one channel message away!
2. Continuing education resources
As a Superpowers Member, your assistant can access our ever-expanding resource library of continuing education resources.
We provide playbooks that take your assistant from zero knowledge on a subject to executing seamlessly and efficiently. Each playbook guides your assistant through every step of the process, ensuring an accurate and reliable result each time.
Our resource library covers a wide range of topics. We cover:
- Technical skills: CRM usage, process documentation, and inbox management…
- Strategy building: Setting quarterly goals, managing to-do lists, designing your Ideal Week…
- Relational skills: Relationship-building on your behalf, being a personal concierge, strengthening client relations…
A look at some of the playbooks in our library
3. Monthly cohorts
These monthly cohorts allow assistants to share ideas, discuss challenges, and build relationships with other top-performing EAs.
Each cohort centers around a specific topic. Assistants discuss the practical application of the principle and bounce their ideas off each other – their struggles, insights, and tricks.
Many of our community members are experts in certain Executive Assistant skills. We’ve created a library of masterclasses in which these assistants teach what they have learned.
5. Quarterly Learning Events
These events come free of charge with your Superpowers Membership.
6. Monthly Focuses
Monthly Focuses help your assistant target specific high-value skills. At the beginning of each quarter, we provide them with a list of topics from which they can select their Monthly Focuses.
Each month, your assistant will complete their target module and perfect their skills. The work is comprehensive but light, requiring just an hour a week.
7. Monthly one-on-one coaching calls
As a Superpowers Member, your assistant also has monthly coaching calls with our coaches.
Learning alone is slow.
Luckily, our coaches use their years of experience to accelerate your assistant’s progress by providing accountability, correction, and help.
What might have taken years to build alone takes just a few months with a Superpowers Membership and coach.

Apple 5W European USB Power Adapter Exchange Program
Apple has determined that, in rare cases, the Apple 5W European USB power adapter may overheat and pose a safety risk. This adapter came with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S models shipped from October 2009 to September 2012 in the countries listed below. It was also sold as a standalone accessory.
Customer safety is always Apple’s top priority, and we have voluntarily decided to exchange every affected power adapter for a new, redesigned adapter, free of charge. We encourage customers to exchange any affected adapter for a new one as soon as possible using the exchange process below.
Note: Other Apple 5W USB power adapters are not part of this program.
Identifying your adapter
Look at the label between the prongs on your adapter and compare it to the images outlined in red below. The model number and the color of the letters “CE” are the ways to identify an affected adapter.
An affected adapter features Model A1300 and the letters “CE” in solid gray. If you have an affected adapter, discontinue use and exchange it for a new one. You can charge your iPhone by connecting it via a USB cable to your computer until you receive a replacement adapter.
A redesigned adapter features Model A1400 and the letters “CE” outlined in gray. You do not need to exchange your adapter. | <urn:uuid:55348c59-e17f-41da-92ea-b54255bf833a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://support.apple.com/vi-vn/usbadapter-european | 2024-04-15T00:15:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.947346 | 288 |

Not Able to Upload
I have tried to upload files in several websites and the "upload" button isn't working. I tried in Safari and I'm not having this issue. It's an issue keeping me from working. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Steps to replicate issue please.
Would you be able to provide an example of a website you are on when the problem occurs, and what button you are using to upload files?
While trying to upload a file, a popup window appears to select the desired file; then I press Open and nothing happens. It started only after recent update(s). I haven't tried uploading on any other site, but I assume it's a general upload issue, not website specific. There is no problem to perform the same operation on Google Chrome.

18 breathtaking ways to start a fire without a lighter or matches
Learn now with my 18 ways how to ignite a fire even without a lighter or matches. The methods will surprise you and help you be more confident in the wild.
From Martin Gebhardt. Check out my “About me” page.
👉 The key facts from this guide
- There are various methods to ignite a fire without a lighter or matches, including using a Firesteel, magnesium block, battery, magnifying glass, bow drill, and more.
- Preparation is crucial when igniting a fire. This includes collecting tinder, kindling, and firewood.
- The choice of tinder is important, as it needs to be very fine and dry to effectively catch sparks or embers.
- The method of fire ignition may vary depending on the available resources and environment.
- Safety should always be a priority when attempting to ignite a fire, especially when using dangerous methods such as chemicals or flare guns.
Fire is a magnificent invention of nature.
Starting a fire is one of the most basic skills in life.
And it is essential when you are in the wilderness.
It protects you, dries your shoes, and gives you courage.
But how do you make a fire if you do not have a lighter or matches?
There are actually many ways. Some are immediately apparent, and some are curious.
Today, you will learn 18 ways to start a fire without a lighter or matches.
How do you make a fire without a lighter? How can I start a fire without a lighter?
When making a fire without a lighter, you use ignition methods such as a ferro rod, a fire striker, a magnifying glass, or a bow drill. The spark or ember produced is caught in a tinder nest made of moss or grass, which, when blown upon, creates the initial flames.
I hope the question was able to give you a first overview. Let's now dive in.
There are 6 methods with which you can ignite a fire if you do not have matches or a lighter:
- Sparks: You create a fire by producing sparks using a fire striker, flint, or a battery with steel wool.
- Friction: This is probably the most common method of making a fire. You have probably heard of a bow drill before.
- Sun: With this method, you focus the sun's rays into a hot focal point.
- Chemicals: There are several chemicals that burn when mixed. However, I do not recommend this method as it is extremely dangerous.
- Electricity: A battery can create sparks when wired appropriately.
- Pressure: Heat can also be generated through pressure – namely when air is highly compressed, like with a fire pump.
I will now list all methods of starting a fire without matches or a lighter.
At the end, I will summarize them all in a table and indicate how difficult they are to implement and which kindling is suitable.
1. Starting a Fire with a Fire Striker
A fire striker is a steel coated with magnesium. To create sparks with it, you also need a metal scraper (can also be a sharp-edged back of a knife).
You can buy fire striker kits (here is my top list for fire striker kits) and follow the following 3 steps to ignite your fire:
- Create a Spark
- Catch the Spark
- Transform this Spark into a Flame
One method that many people use is to place the fire steel directly into the tinder and scrape the fire steel at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees downwards. This scraping creates sparks that concentrate directly on the tinder and ignite it.
However, this method with the fire steel often does not lead to the desired success for beginners.
My two foolproof tricks will show you how to ignite a fire with the fire steel.
Here's a preview, where I make a fire with a fire steel and Fatwood (resin-soaked wood):
Read exactly how to use the fire steel in the article How to ignite a fire easily with the fire steel (instructions + video).
2. Ignite Fire with Magnesium Block
The magnesium block with fire steel works like this:
You scrape shavings off the magnesium block, which are your accelerants or tender. With the accompanying metal rod (a small fire steel), you produce sparks. These sparks then ignite the shavings.
Magnesium burns excellently, very hot, but quickly. It saves you the tinder and ignites the kindling directly, like Feathersticks.
Make sure to scrape off a good pile of magnesium shavings so that your kindling ignites.
In the video, I'll show you how to use the technique with the magnesium block.
Tinder and Kindling: What's the Difference? (Bushcraft) - Tinder and kindling are both easy to ignite to start a fire. But there are crucial differences to be aware of.
3. Making Fire with a Battery
If you have a battery, you can produce sparks with it. The sparks ignite the tinder.
To achieve this, attach a wire to each pole of the battery. When you rub the wires together, sparks are created.
The sparks are perfect for lighting gunpowder.
It is also possible to make fire with a normal AA battery. You just need a gum wrapper.
In my picture tutorial "How to Start a Fire with a Battery", I show exactly how to make fire with it.
Instead of chewing gum paper, steel wool is also perfect.
4. Starting a Fire with a Magnifying Glass or Lens
A magnifying glass or lens focuses the light on one point. At that point, it becomes very hot.
You point the point at your tinder until it starts to glow.
If you're skilled and patient, you can even do it with empty glass bottles or shards of glass.
If you're interested in a fitting lens guide, take a look at my guide "Starting a Fire with the Sun: 8 Tips You Need to Know".
5. Starting a Fire with a Bow Drill
You must be very patient when trying to create an ember with the bow drill. The key to this method is completely dry wood.
You carve a notch into a board and insert the spindle. Then, you turn the stock under pressure – either with your hand or a bow.
Gradually, darker and warm sawdust is formed during the drilling. If you create a fingertip's worth of it, try to slowly blow on it. Increase the sawdust to a nest and then ignite the tinder with it.
6. Making fire with a striker and flint
A flint alone cannot ignite a fire. Not even if you strike two flints together. Although sparks are created, they are not hot enough to ignite tinder.
In addition to flint, you also need iron disulfide (FeS2) in the form of pyrite, marcasite, or steel as the second component. This is the material that generates hot sparks.
You strike small shavings from pyrite, marcasite, or steel with the flint. The friction creates heat, which ignites the shavings and turns them into sparks.
The flint is not necessarily necessary for this. Gangue quartz or quartzite is also suitable.
If you want to make fire using steel, the steel must have a high carbon content. 1.5 to 2% is best. A commercial file contains this carbon. Alternatively, a knife made of carbon steel.
Here's a video of me igniting a fire with a striker.
7. Making fire with a fire pump/ember blower
With a fire pump, you can create heat by compressing the piston and cylinder together.
This is the principle behind the diesel engine: The air is compressed and then heated. The fuel inside the cylinder ignites.
The same applies to the fire pump: the compressed air heats up and ignites the tinder.
In my fire pump guide, you will find all the details about this ancient method.
8. Making fire with a plastic bottle
It's hard to believe, but you can create fire with a plastic bottle.
Just like with a magnifying glass, you need sunlight. Fill the plastic bottle with water.
Hold the plastic bottle so that the light is focused into a beam like a magnifying glass. Place the tinder underneath and wait for it to start glowing.
9. Making fire with an ice ball
You require sunlight for the ice. You use the ice like a lens.
Find a piece of clear ice and cut it out with a saw. It must not have any cracks or bubbles, so that sunlight can pass through unimpeded.
Then shape it with your hands into a lens or a perfect sphere. Hold the ice lens so that a sunbeam is focused on the tinder. If you hold the ice lens steady, the tinder will start to smoke and eventually glow.
10. Making fire with foil
Grab cling film in the size of a DIN-A4 format. Then take all the ends in your hand so that you create a little bag with it.
Fill it with water. Twist the bag at the top so that it's taut. It's important that there is no air left in the water bag and that only a few wrinkles of cling film are visible.
Great, you have just made a collecting lens out of cling film and water.
Then squeeze the water bag into an oval shape and search for the focal point of your lens. Hold the hot point on your tinder.
P.S. You can also use a wine glass, a vase, or even an empty light bulb (watch video here).
11. Making fire with reading glasses or binoculars
Igniting a fire with reading glasses works just like with a magnifying glass.
You just have to hold the reading glasses further away to find the focal point. The stronger the glasses, the better.
12. Making fire with a concave magnifying mirror
These mirrors are built like a satellite dish, except that the focal point is further away, instead of only a few centimeters away from the object.
The mirror is not as strongly curved as a satellite dish.
Hold the mirror against the sun. Then use your hand to find the focal point (the hottest spot), and hold your kindling above it.
13. Making Fire with a Can
It sounds crazy, but it works: polish the bottom of a drink can with chocolate or toothpaste.
Granted, chocolate and toothpaste are not ideal for polishing, even if you have read it somewhere else.
Proper polishing paste is better, but do you have that in the wilderness?
Polish the bottom of the can until you can see a reflection in it.
Hold the can towards the sun in a way that the sunlight is focused. Hold your kindling 3 to 5 centimeters away from the bottom of the can.
The concentrated sunlight will ignite the kindling.
It is easy to see how to do it in my video.
14. Making Fire with a Metal Spoon
Just like the concave mirror and parabolic can, a metal spoon can also be used to concentrate sunlight.
However, this method requires a bit more skill.
Hold the spoon against the sun. Use your finger to find the focal point, so you immediately know where the hottest point is.
15. Making fire with the fire plow
You'll need a flat piece of softwood (poplar, willow, hibiscus, cedar, juniper, yucca, sotol, or other soft wood) with a 15-20 centimeter long groove.
You'll also need the plow: a stick, 1–2 centimeters wide. Carve the tip so that it fits the groove on the wood.
And finally: Hold the plow at a 45-degree angle to the wood. Then move the plow along the groove quickly and for as long as it takes until embers are produced.
16. The Fire Roll / Rudiger Roll – Making Fire with Cotton and Ash
A genius method for making fire, but difficult for beginners.
All you require is a tampon or cotton wool and some ash or scraped charcoal.
You can forget about most of the cotton wool from the drugstore. Tampons, however, are perfect because they are untreated.
Here are the instructions:
- Unravel both tampons without destroying the structure of the fibers
- Place both cotton pads on top of each other
- Sprinkle some ash over the entire width from below (it won't work without ash)
- Tightly roll up the mat from below
- Remember the direction of the roll
- Roll the roll lightly over a board several times
- Only apply pressure in the rolling direction
- The roll will gradually become firmer
- Now take a second board, place it on the roll, and tilt it forward
- Roll the roll back and forth with great pressure at least 200 times
- Only apply pressure when rolling forward (otherwise the roll will open)
Soon you will smell that it smells charred - but keep rolling for another 100 times.
Then cut the roll crosswise where you suspect the greatest heat. Pluck the cotton wool out and blow lightly into the black interior.
If you've done everything right, the first spark will ignite.
Here's my video about it:
17. Making Fire with an Empty Lighter
An empty lighter is a fantastic fire starter.
This method falls under the friction methods of fire making, as there is a tiny flint inside the lighter (often made of ferrocerium, technically not a flint). The flint provides material for the sparks when you turn the sparking wheel.
- Remove the metal casing from the lighter.
- Hold the lighter upside down over the tinder.
- Gently turn the sparking wheel. You would rather not create sparks yet!
- Small ferrocerium shavings fall onto the tinder.
When you have a good pile of ferrocerium shavings (after about 2 minutes), you can now ignite sparks on them. They will ignite.
Note that the ferrocerium shavings only burn for a fraction of a second. You need damn good tinder and have to be quick to ignite your tinder.
18. Making fire with a signal pistol or signal ammunition
Shoot the cartridge of the signal pistol against a soft object or into a hole in the ground. Then immediately place kindling on it.
It is advisable that you are well-prepared for this method. The glowing signaling compound burns quickly.
Preparation for making fire
Preparation is everything. As a rule, you can assume that you require 80% of your time to prepare the fire. And you require the other 20% to ignite a fire.
Phase 1: Collecting tinder
Tinder are very fine fibers, for example from birchbark. Tinder must always be very fibrous and bone dry so that it catches sparks well.
My favorites are
You can learn about other types of tinder and how to make your own in my article "Survival Basic Knowledge: Collecting and Making Tinder".
Phase 2: Finding Kindling
These are small wooden sticks that are as thin or thinner than a pencil. Use the wood in the middle of a log and make Feathersticks out of it – it must be bone dry.
Phase 3: Collecting Wood
Collect a supply of wood, so you don't have to leave later. Don't put the wood directly on the burning tinder – even if it's burning great. First, place your kindling from phase 2 on the tinder and continue building the fire.
Once these three fuels are available, you can create your fire.
In my 10-step article "How to Start a Fire?" I show you how to start a fire successfully.
Tips on matches
Even though you might know many other ways to start a fire, matches should always be part of your basic equipment.
Pack the matches waterproof, for example in a plastic container or plastic bag. Separate the rubbing surface from the matchbox to save space.
The heads of the matches can be sealed with candle wax. To accomplish this, dip the heads into liquid candle wax.
These matches burn particularly long and slow.
Tips for the lighter
Gas lighters are not as hot as gasoline lighters.
The advantage of a gasoline lighter: cars run on gasoline and in an emergency you can refill your gasoline lighter there.
However, a gasoline lighter runs out faster and gasoline evaporates over time.
Gas fills last longer, do not evaporate, and are therefore the better choice.
When lighting with the lighter, it is advisable to set up a windshield - otherwise it will be empty quickly.
All ignition methods at a glance
So, now you know a lot and hopefully, you are already smarter than before. To help you keep track, I will summarize all methods in a table.
I will also give you an assessment of how difficult the methods are and what tinder you need.

Rules for Fire and Safety Tips
If you are not cautious and do not respect the rules, you can cause a devastating fire. This in turn leads to serious injuries or even a catastrophe.
The main cause of forest fires, according to the forest fire statistics, is human action (if a cause can be determined).
So please be responsible and follow these safety rules and tips, which even beginners should know:
- When starting a fire, make sure there is no strong wind and that there is no dangerous forest fire warning in the area.
- Do not set your fire under hanging branches.
- Surround the pit you dug with stones.
- Remove all roots from the pit.
- A bucket of water and a dirt pile are useful near the fire to put it out.
- Only use wood as fuel.
- Remove everything from the area around the fire to prevent it from spreading.
- Never leave a fire unattended. Continuously monitor the fire.
- When extinguishing the fire, pour a lot of water on it and stir it, then pour more water on it. Always make sure the fire pit is no longer hot. Check with your hand.
Read also how to build, operate and disappear a perfect fire pit.
Starting a fire with a "Plan A" is not difficult. Lighters, matches or Firesteel are always in your luggage.
But what does "Plan B" look like?
What if the everyday igniters and tools, such as lighters and matches, fail?
For the unusual way of making fire, you have to practice and be patient. Often the methods are difficult to handle and more theoretical than practical.
If you practice and really want it, you will also acquire this knowledge.
PS: In the Wildimpuls program (in German), I show you the most important ways to make fire via video.
And now to you: Which method do you like best?
Or: Which method will you try out?

There is so much waiting these days that I feel like I’m constantly trying to cross a street with unending traffic. There will be a break in it, eventually, but the cars are so close to each other that I can’t even see what’s on the other side.
During the month of November, my family waited for responses to my oldest daughter’s college applications (and we keep waiting as they trickle in). We waited for a family member to be well enough for surgery, then waited again while she recovered. We waited for news on new homes, on travel plans, on the progression of disease in someone we love. We waited for a flight, and another. We waited on work projects and proposals and to see if our oven was, indeed, broken. On so many of these things, there is still no resolution. So, we keep waiting.
Most of all, I’m waiting as my delightful, warm and excited new literary agent (Sharon Bowers, of Miller Bowers Griffin Literary Agency) holds onto a copy of my finally, finally finished book proposal and manuscript until the time is right to submit it to publishers. Before she agreed to represent me, I spent October waiting and waiting for a very talented but incredibly slow editor to send me her suggestions for changes to both those documents. As I waited for the editor and now wait for the agent, I am also waiting, staring at the sent mail in my inbox and the list of submitted essays on Submittable to get responses from the magazines in which I would love to publish. I’m just waiting waiting waiting, waiting waiting waiting, my muscles sore from waiting.
I am someone who is happier busy than lazy, who finds it very easy to go from idle to sad. Busy means needed. Busy means useful. But I’m also waiting for the clients of my web design business to send me the things I need to complete their sites, and waiting for winter break for my children’s school, and waiting to wrap the Hannukah gifts, and poised waiting over things that aren’t mine to wait for like the end of each school day, which doesn’t mean anything when my children come home, plug in headphones, shake snacks into their mouths and plunge into homework. I sit on a stool in my kitchen and wait. If I wait long enough, they’ll stop coming home at the end of the day entirely, because their days will end somewhere in a university, far away.
When Sharon told me not to publish anything on the topic of my book for a while, waiting to let publishers be hungry for the story and to save the attention of editors for when I’ll want that attention on the book itself, I could not stand to wait. The internet will forget about me, I thought, and pulled out long-ago-essays and ideas-left-to-idle and a pile of digital post-it notes with snatches of stories on them. I started plunking and plonking away, trying to find the urgency in these stories that I feel for the book that lies in wait. It’s hard. Some of these stories need so much more research, reading, thinking, eggs I need to sit on while their plot lines hatch. Oh, no: more waiting.
For now, I’ll share an essay that falls safely into the category of “unrelated to my book” that was published with P.S. I Love You this week. In it, I wrote about a family for who I babysit through all of my adolescence, a complicated trio of people steeped in ill health and deep sadness I didn’t recognize fully until I was an adult. The mother, terrified about her own mortality, filled her son’s drawers with clothes he wouldn’t fit for years:
The next time I babysat, I looked through the catalogs on the coffee table after Eli was in bed. We didn’t get catalogs at my house, unless I counted the Sunday newspaper circulars. I pulled the pile onto the couch next to me and sat, cross-legged, paging through them. Sure enough, the Lands’ End catalog was full of turned-down corners, pages with items circled and a strange set of symbols inked-in next to some of the items on each page. Did an asterisk mean yes? A question mark must have meant “maybe,” but what about items that were circled?
There were sturdy khaki pants on one page, with a note next to them. “Belt?” Carol had written in perfect script. I imagined Eli at 10, pulling on the pants and finding a belt already threaded through the loops by his long-dead mother. Would it make him feel better, or worse?
If you need me, I’ll be here, poised, waiting. | <urn:uuid:f0df2c6c-ecab-43c5-aaf9-15e804f7b895> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://swallowmysunshine.com/sitting-on-my-hands/ | 2024-04-14T23:33:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.973125 | 1,024 |
Nicely, in the study course of my look for for all round private enhancement, I started to study some of the is effective of Dr Joe Vitale – 'Mr Fire’. Search engines really like fresh new, pertinent articles on topics that folks are fascinated in.
So, to increase the visibility of your web site, to make website traffic swarm to your blog site, to start college essay writing service with fill it with high quality material that is relevant and in desire. Example: A person of my shoppers, a existence coach, has a challenging-address ebook out appropriate now that functions one hundred and one recommendations on how to entice what you want in lifestyle. Each individual difficulty of her weekly e-zine capabilities a single of those guidelines, alongside with a quick rationalization of how to put into action it. More and much more firms and establishments know the reply to that a person. They’re utilizing scenario scientific studies-a single of the most impressive tools accessible to change focus to the other man or woman and absent from you. Circumstance experiments (or versions, such as testimonials) are demonstrating up just about almost everywhere.
They are finding baked into advertising, World wide web sites, brochures, and all forms of other collateral and marketing and advertising products. Inspite of their reputation, some marketers would alternatively have a tooth pulled than produce a scenario review. So, initial, relax.
This just isn’t law faculty. The rationale powering this follows: Considering the fact that nations around the world can’t obtain revenue tax on Net transactions at their borders, the only way they can accumulate it (other than a self-evaluation program) is with an on the internet sales tax. Even further, it is claimed that businesses in the European Union undergo a major competitive drawback since college essay writing service they have to acquire Benefit Included Tax (VAT) but others really don’t. How To Start off Composing Your Reserve And End Your BookrnA few months in the past, I was speaking with a fellow creator about writer’s block. She reported she didn’t know what was wrong.
For some explanations the stories were not coming to her like they applied to. „Writer’s Block,” she claimed, but that didn’t seem correct to me. The stories were coming to her as always. She had principles and would go on and on about plots, but when it came to sitting down at the keyboard and bringing the characters to existence-absolutely nothing.
Or even even worse, the writing felt flat.
It was time for a key shake-up. I could not allow my lady to go out like that. If you want individuals to preserve studying your e mail sequence, drop them a free reward each so generally. This may perhaps be a free of charge chapter of your guide, or merely a turnkey products. You may possibly even compose a viral e-book (see my other report) and send out that out for cost-free. Other places in which you Might want to make investments income in contain: symbol style, web structure, world-wide-web marketing, and practical resources this sort of as a graphics editor and a effective autoresponder.
Having said that, there are a lot of free sources on the Internet and I really encourage you to seek out them out. I bought one more a single for you. This basically took place to me and my good friend. My buddy and I made the decision to strike up the area casino right after hearing that they were being getting a No cost raffle for $50,000. Yeah I finest essay writing assistance was thrilled immediately after hearing free. Neglect the $fifty,000 proper? Nicely when we received there, we observed that soon after sliding a card, you get a complete of a single total entry and you had to gamble to get a lot more entries into the contest. Very well I didn’t go to gamble with my income.
I was there to declare my $fifty,000. Properly after looking at the contest guidelines and viewing how numerous men and women had been playing, we knew the odds had fairly significantly ganged up on us, but who cares. | <urn:uuid:3e931a7b-57c9-401c-9172-0b299b45319e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://swiatelkozycia.pl/consumer-behavior-research-paper/ | 2024-04-15T00:26:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.972519 | 872 |
AI Revolution in Hedge Funds: Race to Innovate
The Hedge Fund Industry: Embracing AI for Competitive Advantage
The dynamic realm of finance, the hedge fund industry stands as a notable sector where competition and innovation are not merely advantageous but essential for survival. The pursuit of excellence in this field can be likened to the high-stakes world of motor racing, where the fusion of top-tier technology and expert strategy is key to securing victory.
At the forefront of technological advancement, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a pivotal tool in the arsenal of hedge fund managers. Those with ample resources are channeling significant investments into AI development, striving to create proprietary products that can give them an edge in the market. This technological arms race is not without its disparities, as it fosters a growing divide between the “haves” – firms with the means to invest in AI – and the “have-nots” – those who may find themselves hindered by a reliance on more traditional methods.
Leveling the Playing Field for Smaller Hedge Funds
Despite the initial advantages that larger firms may hold, it is crucial to recognize that smaller hedge fund managers can still compete effectively. Their potential lies in their agility and capacity for innovation. By being receptive to new advancements and opportunities, even smaller players can navigate the market with success.
The evolution of AI is a double-edged sword, presenting both opportunities and challenges. The emergence of a “technology gap” is inevitable as AI continues to advance. Firms will find themselves on one side or the other of this divide, shaped largely by their willingness to embrace change and invest in the future.
The Urgency of AI Integration in Finance
The significance of this issue is underscored by its timeliness. AI’s rapid development and sweeping impact make it a topic of utmost relevance to the financial sector. The evocative motor racing analogy serves to crystallize the importance of integrating state-of-the-art technology with seasoned expertise, making it a compelling narrative for those in the industry.
Addressing the Inequalities of AI Adoption
The potential for a widening gap between firms due to AI adoption raises genuine concerns. This differential progression could lead to a landscape where only the well-resourced can thrive. Such a scenario underscores the importance of addressing the inequalities that may arise and ensuring that all firms, regardless of size, can access the benefits of technological advancements.
A proactive stance is essential for hedge fund managers who wish to remain competitive in this evolving landscape. The current state of affairs serves as a clarion call to action, urging industry professionals to engage with emerging technologies and position themselves favorably in the market.
Expert Insights on AI in Hedge Funds
The authority of industry experts, including those from the AIMA Research Committee, lends credence to these observations. Their insights, drawn from extensive experience and a deep understanding of the field, add weight to the discussion and emphasize the practical implications of AI in hedge fund management.
AI: A Strategic Imperative for Hedge Funds
The adoption of AI in hedge funds is more than a mere trend; it is a strategic imperative that can define the future of firms and the industry at large. As AI continues to shape the financial landscape, hedge fund managers must recognize the criticality of integrating these technologies into their strategies.
The integration of AI in hedge fund management is not a question of if but when. The race is on to harness the power of AI, and the time to act is now. Firms must take decisive steps to bridge the technology gap, leveraging AI to enhance their market position and secure long-term success. The future belongs to those who can adeptly marry cutting-edge technology with strategic acumen, transforming challenges into opportunities in the ever-evolving hedge fund arena.

Lahore: On Tuesday, Mayor Mubashir Javed, a retired colonel, authorised a Rs. 300 million development programme for repairing roads, installing manhole lids, and installing lamps in all nine zones of the metropolis.
Following its restoration by the Supreme Court, the LG representatives allocated Rs. 30 million in cash for each zone of the city to restore at least one main route leading to marketplaces, schools, and colleges.
Total Rs. 280m were sanctioned for repair and construction of roads, while Rs220m for fixing streetlights and manhole lids in different areas of the city, especially those not falling under the Lahore Development Authority. The areas include Kahna Kachha, Jallo and Data Ganj Bakhsh Town areas.
Of the amount,
- Rs50m have been approved for 6km-long road leading to Jati Umra,
- Rs40m for repair and renovation of 3km-long Khwaja Ahmad Hassan Road,
- Rs19m for a 3km-long road in Samanabad,
- Rs20m for 2km-long Nawabpura-Kacha Ravan road,
- Rs385m for Jamia Masjid Muhammadia Road, Nishtar Zone, Ghoray Shah Road, 3km-long Kamran Park and Barah Dari Road, Shahdara and Shadbagh-Bhogiwal road.
The mayor said the people in these areas had been facing difficulties because of dilapidated roads, missing lids of manholes and faulty streetlights. The mayor said the government had directed the councillors to only use eight per cent of the budget for development during this period. | <urn:uuid:dfdf4a0f-4628-4f0c-800a-3842303e7d81> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://tajarat.com.pk/news/lahore-mayor-approves-rs-300-million-uplift-package-for-the-city/ | 2024-04-15T00:37:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.953306 | 350 |

I'm as ready for Christmas as I'll get, and I'm pretty much ready for 2015 also. This past year was a good enough one for me ... what's to complain about given a healthy family, a stable job, a third book, and a first Indy 500?
But I'm pretty sure 2015 is going to be even better, as I've got some excitement out there in the distance (that I'm not ready to talk about just yet).
I'm not big on annual resolutions, but I'm making two for the new year:
- I'm going to practice yoga regularly, for mental and physical health and strength.
- I'm going to take more photos of my friends and daily life. I want more of a record.
I'm hoping that this time next year, I'll be that annoying friend who's always taking photos—who you're later happy with because she captured the flavor of the day or year. And that I'll be strong, healthy, and flexible. Just don't expect me to become the yoga freak.
Do you have any resolutions? Any good suggestions for me making sure to fulfill mine?
With that, I'm signing off for this year. See you in 2015! | <urn:uuid:e3b312ef-e9fe-4083-acc3-db8de8b1ff4c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://tammykaehler.blogspot.com/2014/12/signing-out-of-2014.html | 2024-04-15T00:51:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.985128 | 250 |
Sunday is the 99th running of the Indianapolis 500, the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. I made it to the 500 for the first time last year, and I'd hoped to attend this year, but didn't manage it. So I'm eagerly awaiting the race on Sunday, planning to be in front of my TV for every bit of action and to have Twitter open to chat with the friends I'd otherwise see at the track.
I'm obviously excited about the race—particularly about seeing Pippa Mann driving the pink Susan G. Komen car around, carrying a friend's name in the cockpit.
But I'm also apprehensive. This is one of the fastest races in the world, with cars consistently averaging in the high 220 m.p.h. a lap and touching 230 sometimes on the straights.
Which makes it exciting. And dangerous.
There are new aerodynamic kits on the cars this year, which probably contributed to three of them going airborne last week in practice. Cars flying = not what's intended.
Driving that fast with other cars around you means sometimes you can't recover when things go wrong, as Pippa found out last week when she spun trying to avoid someone.
And when parts break, as they occasionally do, sometimes there's a lot of damage. On Monday, the quick action of the safety crew seems to have saved James Hinchcliffe's life when a suspension piece on his car broke and sent him into the wall. The impact apparently measured 125 Gs.
It's astonishing anyone can recover from an impact that big, so kudos to all the safety workers, safety engineers, helmet makers, soft-barrier makers, and so on. And that gives a viewer (and more than one driver's family member, I'm sure) more confidence headed into the biggest race on the calendar for many.
But so much can go wrong, that while I'm excited, I'm also apprehensive in a way that I'm not when I watch the 24 Hours of Le Mans, for instance (coming up in three weeks!). I know this is the safest era of racing. One statistic tossed around on social media was as many as 25 practice crashes during one year in the late '80s. Compared to five this year.
But it's still a dangerous, dangerous sport. So I'll be watching closely on Sunday. But I'll also be crossing my fingers that nothing goes really wrong. | <urn:uuid:399bb48b-e8d9-4e7b-8541-53fd274ddcd2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://tammykaehler.blogspot.com/2015/05/excitement-and-apprehension.html | 2024-04-15T00:14:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.978278 | 499 |
Today is the 20th December, a day I have been building up to, and training for, for the past six months. It’s the day of the Portsmouth Coastal Waterside Marathon. I booked the train tickets and the hotel room months in advance, did some wonderful long training runs and was feeling confident that I could do this, my first marathon in five years. But it wasn’t to be :(
On the 5th I came down with a cold. Not a stinker but still, a cold and, later, a bit of a loose cough. If the cold had come later, a few days before the race, then it would have been a no brainer to call it off and rest up. If it had been a week earlier then I would imagine I can recover and run. But this was two weeks before and I could get back in good health in time… maybe. But by the Wednesday before I realised that I wouldn’t be fit enough. I did go for a short run on the 20th, just a local one, and felt pretty good. But going the whole marathon would have been too much. I was, basically, gutted that I couldn’t make it.
It’s a hard call to make but there was every likelihood that I would get to the half way stage and have to drop out. I’ve never had a DNF before and it would have been a shame to have to do that. So, now I’m looking for a good marathon in January. I’ve still got my training done, I just need to top it up. My running is going well and I could easily do a Half in the next weeks, but I would really like to do another Full marathon. Not too big (I don’t like the big, multi-thousand events) and prefereably not too hilly. There are a couple of nice runs in the New Forest in March but January seems pretty thin for long runs. | <urn:uuid:6213d860-f125-49e7-b11c-8acd0d81a0d1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://tao.gnomedia.com/2015/the-race-that-wasnt-to-be/ | 2024-04-15T00:44:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.988212 | 414 |

You see yourself as an “I” or a “me”. The problem is, this perception of yourself does not accommodate for the full truth of you. In fact, it can obscure the truth of you. If you see yourself in this way, you can only see the forest and not the trees. In fact, the single biggest step you can take towards #self-awareness and #awakening is: To begin to see yourself as an #ecosystem that is being called by one name.

In a nod to superstition, it is customary to express good wishes and good luck to the birthday person, using phrases such as ‘many happy returns of the day’. Once, birthday greetings were given in person or in a letter or even in a poem. The practice of sending birthday cards began in the late 19th century, and birthday telegrams were sent from the early 20th century.
By the 1930s a person turning 100 would receive birthday wishes from the sovereign, the governor-general, the prime minister and other dignitaries. Centenarians were often interviewed by journalists and quizzed on the secret of their longevity.
In the 19th century, good wishes were often the only thing people received on their birthday. Gradually it became more common to give presents. In 1868 a little girl living in Canterbury was delighted to receive from family members and friends a riding whip, scissors, darning needles, red cotton, a pretty needlecase, a little blue cross and an illustrated hymn book.
In the 19th century adults might celebrate their birthday at the pub or a more sedate birthday-party gathering, depending on age, gender and class. Children’s birthday parties were held mainly in well-off households, and the custom spread gradually. From the early 1900s elaborate parties at home for children became the norm in Pākehā households. Invited children would play organised games and then sit down to a feast of highly coloured sweet and savoury treats. They were usually given a wrapped slice of the birthday cake to take home. Celebrations reached new heights in the early 2000s, with themed parties, special entertainment, parties at venues such as restaurants and playgrounds, and ‘goodie bags’: a small bag of sweets and toys for each child.
The 21st birthday party
Twenty-first birthdays were observed in the 19th century, but they became big events for many New Zealand families in the 20th century. From the 1930s the idea of being given ‘the key to the door’ – the freedom to come and go without parental supervision – dominated parties. Decorated keys were given as presents and featured on cards and the birthday cake. Sometimes guests would sign a large gold key, which was given as a keepsake to the birthday person. In the 2000s in Māori families a carved key or carved pare (lintel) was still a treasured 21st-birthday gift.
Often, people turning 21 had a special studio photograph taken. A less refined custom was to drink a yard-glass (a tall glass holding around 1.4 litres) of beer, often spiked with something stronger. Despite the declining legal and social significance of the 21st birthday, it is still an important occasion for many.
The games we play
Although children’s birthday parties have changed in many ways, some features remain the same. Musical chairs, charades and blind man’s buff – all games that were popular in the late 19th century – are still played at children’s parties in the 2000s.
Cake and candles
The high point of most birthday parties is the ceremonial presentation of an iced birthday cake decorated with lit candles – one for each year of the person’s life. Traditionally, the person has to blow out the candles with one breath while making a secret wish. If the candles are not blown out at the first attempt, the wish will not come true. In New Zealand, birthday cakes with candles, a custom of Germanic origin, were popular from the mid-1800s.
The presentation of the cake is accompanied by the singing of ‘Happy birthday to you’ – the internationally recognised ditty composed by two American sisters in 1893. Māori will often sing ‘Hari huritau ki a koe’ and ‘Rā whānau koa’, both to the tune of ‘Happy birthday’. ‘Happy birthday’ may be followed by ‘Why was she born so beautiful?’ or ‘For he’s a jolly good fellow’. Sometimes, guests clap once for each year of the person’s life. The music-hall song ‘I’m twenty-one today’ used to be popular at 21st-birthday parties. At some Māori birthdays, each guest has to sing a song to get a piece of the cake. | <urn:uuid:8366535a-86fe-4d21-a59c-c166ab239187> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://teara.govt.nz/en/birthdays-and-wedding-anniversaries/page-2 | 2024-04-14T22:55:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.978154 | 929 |
Kenya based HealthTech company AfyaRekod has launched a fully automated first-of-its-kind Universal Patient Portal, built on the blockchain technology that will transform the face of patient care across Africa and the World.
Through a secured centralised platform patients and the medical professionals treating them will have real-time access to their health data and medical history not only ensuring effective ongoing medical management, but critical timely access to information in an emergency.
AfyaRekod was founded in 2019 as an Adanian Lab start-up, by CEO John Kamara, with seed funding from Mac Venture Capital and Next Chymia. Kamara says he saw first-hand how the lack of medical records and static data could lead to poor medical management when a friend died having received the wrong medical intervention in an emergency. K
“We identified the capture and storage of accurate data across every possible level of health infrastructure as a core problem. Bringing real time access to data that captures the mobility of health records was the solution. Our tool now allows patients to create a portal with all their health data and most importantly gives patients sovereign rights of ownership of their data. The patient logs in and sees all their information, from every healthcare provider they have interacted with. The power of patients owning their health records and having real time access to their information is lifesaving, and it is their right to have access to it”, said Kamara.
The subscription-driven Universal Patient Portal is a blockchain solution, with a consolidated mobile data health passport that allows patients consistent access to their health-records, as well as access to a marketplace of various services within the healthcare ecosystem in real-time.
Over and above patients securely managing their health records, including health diaries, prescriptions and hospital visit summaries, the AfyaRekod Universal Patient Portal offers a secure decentralised, intelligent telehealth solution, healthcare resources, symptom trackers, reminders and notifications, as well as the mobility of the record across multiple channels and devices. Though any patient should use these tools, it is especially useful for patients with chronic illness, parents, pregnant women, and patients with hereditary diseases.
The AfyaRekod platform extends to include doctors and healthcare providers, offering an electronic health management system with digital tools to manage all key aspects of hospital services and clinics. The system has multiple functionalities such as hospital management, patient management, knowledge management and inventory management, as well as an AI driven reporting tool that allows organisations to make data driven decisions, predictions and early disease identification. NGO’s and other related organizations can register and manage their beneficiary groups on the platform. | <urn:uuid:3339d714-15d7-4060-81a3-222ad51d290e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://tech-ish.com/2022/07/09/afyarekod-blockchain-universal-patient-portal/ | 2024-04-14T23:10:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.954943 | 537 |
Google is rolling out Android 7.0 Nougat today which will start the eternal question for most Android users: When will my device get the update? The problem with Android updates is known to everyone & there isn’t much that one can do about it except hope that Google & OEMs raise their game to ensure timely updates to all. However, what bemuses me is when I hear someone shifting from Android to iOS only in the lure of faster updates.
Don’t get me wrong. Apple is indeed a million times better than Google in rolling out updates, notwithstanding the fact that it is comparatively easier for Apple to do so considering they control both the hardware & the software. However, one of the primary reasons many people prefer Android is the lack of restrictions found in iOS. Any number of updates that iOS gets, would not make it more open or less limiting than it current is. It would be no exaggeration to say that even Android KitKat 4.4 would be less restrictive than iOS 10.
Getting speedy updates feels nice & I shall dream of a day Android ecosystem gets faster updates. But I simply fail to see logic in shifting to iOS for the sole reason of lack of updates on Android. If you ever hear anyone doing so, then he probably never cared about the openness of Android over iOS in the first place and he would probably be happier in the world of Apple. | <urn:uuid:14adb47e-8f6a-4c55-9376-9abb68b2b288> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://techans.com/the-problem-with-android-updates-the-solution-that-isnt/ | 2024-04-14T23:24:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.935824 | 283 |
Lens Protocol, a web3 product aimed at creating a decentralized social networking ecosystem, has raised $15 million, its team told TechCrunch exclusively. The protocol is being built by Aave, a web3 technology firm, that allows users to lend and borrow crypto tokens from one another, among other things (Aave has raised a known $49 million to date).
The protocol is trying to integrate the best of the web as we know it, but with a focus on the new innovations of web3 to make the internet “more equitable, fair and democratic for social media networks,” Aave Companies CEO Stani Kulechov said.
Kulechov said it’s important that future infrastructure for internet and social media networks isn’t owned by large entities like Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. When there’s a powerful incumbent, it creates less say for users and less choice as well, not just in web3 or on the internet, but in any industry.
The goal of the newly flush Lens Protocol is to allow individual users to have more control over their data, and how it is shared according to Kulechov. “We want to build a social media network that doesn’t only benefit the users but everyone who contributes to it like developers as well.”
The $15 million that Lens has raised will be used to help expand the protocol’s ecosystem and continue its development, Kulechov said. There is no valuation available.
The fresh capital round was led by IDEO CoLab Ventures with participation from venture capital firms like General Catalyst, Variant and Blockchain Capital, as well as DAOs like Flamingo DAO, DAOJones, Punk DAO, DAO5 and Global Coin Research.
There were also angel investors involved, including Uniswap CEO Hayden Adams, OpenSea co-founder Alex Atallah, entrepreneur and investor Balaji Srinivasan, Sandbox co-founder Sébastien Borget and Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal, among others.
Lens has been in beta since May 2022 and has granted access to a handful of users thus far. “Our roadmap is going to continue to be on a beta phase for a while and down the line our goal is to completely open the protocol access, but for that to happen the infrastructure and ecosystem has to grow further,” Kulechov said.
It hopes to be a “neutral and flexible” protocol that allows developers to build various use cases ranging from gaming to social media, according to the CEO. And a number of desktop and mobile applications are currently being built by developers like Orb, Riff and Enso Collective, Kulechov noted.
“We’re filling the ecosystem with applications that are familiar to traditional social media, [and] we envision a future where all these applications and algorithms share monetization that comes from different use cases and features,” he said.
In the long term, Kulechov hopes the protocol will solve problems that social media users and companies alike face, not just in the crypto space, but also in general markets. “We don’t have all the answers but that’s the beauty of web3, it’s an environment where everyone can contribute and that’s where we want to go.”
“What’s most valuable for us, we want to create a protocol that’s open for contribution,” Kulechov said. “A protocol where we can’t make all the decisions for users and developers, where we can have an open platform and discussion on how Lens Protocol can evolve in the future.”
There are other crypto social networks that exist, like BitClout, which has over 200 applications built on its blockchain DeSo, according to its website, among others. There are also crypto wallets and applications like Thred, that aim to a service similar to Yelp, and provide easy-to-use interfaces. While they’ve gained some traction from crypto players and users, there seems to be little intentional initiative to grow outside of the ecosystem to date.
It’s important to distinguish between networks and protocols — Lens is building the latter, meaning that any developer can build on top of its system. Lens is similar to existing internet protocols like HTTPs, IP protocol or email, Kulechov said. TechCrunch views it as similar to a platform, in traditional Web terms.
In order for web3 social protocols and networks to gain real adoption, they need to create accessible options that can appeal to a larger, more diverse, and less crypto-insider group. Whether or not Lens — or another team — can manage the feat is yet to be determined. | <urn:uuid:dc8f4c72-9664-4845-9216-fa2690b06806> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/08/aaves-lens-protocol-raises-15m-to-build-the-decentralized-social-web/?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAABeLfw8oXL2EhZRA3thXk7Ds9-z0yRudxUBHLQuvP0fxiEpKTGGlm6-DdjFDdgPRc8fcVADAI2RsRPAYe_CGKtwTtAvSvf2x_1lsGlhyqVmOMMu2OU51rGJR22u-15yHDMqP9JipvK_wwvq28xYE2ve5iX29rKoEeFXojek37Kr | 2024-04-14T23:33:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.946947 | 996 |
When using Bluetooth (Imager) scanners, the pairing process between the mobile computer and Bluetooth scanner may require scanning the Bluetooth address of the mobile computer. If this value is set to true, the Bluetooth address will be displayed as a barcode when the Scanner.enable() function is called. This feature eliminates the need to open the external tools such as Bluetooth Pairing Utility in order to display the pairing barcode. Also if the user wants to set this parameter he/she should use the InterfaceConfig class before calling Scanner.enable().
Note: If the Bluetooth scanner has already connected, it will not display the barcode during Scanner.enable() even though this parameter is set to true.
Timeout in seconds that Scanner.enable() will block before returning if an external scanner connection is not established. This is currently applicable to Bluetooth scanners only. Also if the user wants to set this parameter he/she should use the InterfaceConfig class before calling Scanner.enable(). | <urn:uuid:947c9512-45ac-419a-991f-2bf3d47a3e9f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://techdocs.zebra.com/emdk-for-android/4-0/api/barcode/interfaceconfig/ | 2024-04-14T22:57:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.802471 | 199 |
SEO consultants are often asked if it’s better to write new blog posts or update older posts in order to boost SEO rankings, as per SEO consultants Gold Coast. The answer, of course, depends on the circumstances; every situation needs to be considered individually in order to get the best results possible. However, there are a few general guidelines that can help you figure out if you should write new posts or update old ones to achieve the highest rankings possible.
The ultimate guide for blogging about dating
There’s no right or wrong answer to whether you should write about dating on your food or travel site. It all depends on who you want to reach. If you are an SEO consultant looking for exposure, then blog posts about dating will probably do better in some areas than others. However, if your site covers a niche topic like gluten-free cooking, it might be better to avoid topics that can be easily located on other websites.
One month old – getting started
If you want to become an SEO consultant, remember that SEO is an ongoing process, and it takes some time to master. If you’re just starting out, focus on providing valuable content that gives your readers what they want. This will help improve your site’s authority and your rankings over time. Remember: SEO isn’t one-and-done; it’s a process of continuous improvement, which takes commitment and practice. Here are two great ways to get started.
Three months old – now it gets harder
Just like a new baby, after three months, you’re starting to get recognized and accepted by your online community. You still have work to do if you want to keep growing. But hey, with age comes experience—and in your case, maturity. At three months old, you’re ready for a few more pieces of content and a little more promotion. Remember: Just because activity was difficult when you were first born doesn’t mean it will stay that way forever! If blogging is challenging for you now, learn from some tips for getting over writer’s block. And even though two to three months isn’t so long ago, remember how far you’ve come—and don’t forget how much farther there is to go! Celebrate your progress today.
Six months old – should you be worried?
Generally speaking, content on your website will get more links and perform better in search as it ages. That’s why SEO consultants Gold Coast recommend holding off on content creation for a few months after you launch your site. Wait six months to a year, he says, before putting together that e-book or creating those helpful PDF guides; by then, people will be more willing to link to your content and share it with their friends.
Ten months old – congratulations, you did it!
Suppose you’ve recently written a new post that is ten months old, congrats! You have what is considered to be a very young piece on your site, and it seems that recent updates are ranking well. It could be that you see good results because there are still people linking to and talking about your content (without competition), or maybe Google views posts with more recent updates as fresh. Whatever it is, it looks like these rankings will stick around for some time! | <urn:uuid:96661fda-2314-427e-af63-31a6ebb18df7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://techevolve.org/how-does-the-age-of-your-blog-post-affect-your-rankings/ | 2024-04-14T23:02:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.9605 | 684 |
IBM has announced a significant improvement in their high-end processors for servers. In fact at the Hot Chips conference at new CPUs, zNext to 5.5 GHz and Power 7 + at 4.14 GHz. IBM has always remain in the top most list when it comes to the server and processing and by announcing these world’s fastest processors IBM has started getting more fame all around the globe.
IBM is committed to raise the clock speed of its microprocessor family as a way to add even more power to their servers. The 5.5 GHz ranges of mainframes zNext for System Z are record in the field. In comparison, high-end Intel Xeon chip intended for servers operating at 2.4 GHz comparable.
Obviously the clock frequency is only one feature to consider in assessing the potency of these servers, as well as other price or consumption, as these zNext consume more than double the listed Intel Xeon.
In any case the new zNext processor may retain the title of ‘world’s fastest microprocessor’ with a frequency of 5.5 GHz standard, four cores, two first-level cache, 1.5 MB L2 cache per core and two additional coprocessors encryption to work. So, what we can say is IMB is going to hit the server market with the damn massive processor whose processing is still not yet revealed but with the clock frequency of zNext processor to 5.5 GHz reveal its performance before its release. | <urn:uuid:010e4864-4c9a-47cc-bf64-666e2cbd530c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://techjailbreak.com/ibm-znext-the-worlds-fastest-processor-5-5ghz/ | 2024-04-14T22:59:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.95668 | 302 |

With the evolve of internet world around the globe, all companies, big and medium, global corporations, groups, or even government agencies are concentrating on computer-controlled monitoring and managing their daily operations activities, attempting to make cybersecurity a top priority to safeguard data from multiple cyber predators or illegal users.
As news of data breaches, malicious software, and exploits have become norm, constant technological progress assumes a concurrent transition throughout cybersecurity trends.
What is Cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity is the use of innovations, procedures, and regulations to defend against cyber threats on structures, channels, initiatives, technologies, and information. Its purpose is to minimize the risk of being hacked and to safeguard toward unauthorized use of structures, systems, and techniques.
10 Emerging Cybersecurity Trends to Look Out in 2021
Cyber security professionals know that cyber threats are continually evolve in conjunction with the advancements of technology. Cyber criminals are always in the mode of learning new methods and developing new strategies to attack vulnerable systems. For this reason, cyber security professionals must need to stay on top of the cybersecurity trends.
Here we will discuss about the 10 emerging cybersecurity trends to watch in 2021.
Let’s go one after the other:
Trend #1: Automotive hacking
The rapid increase of automotive cyber-attacks would be the very first cybersecurity trends in 2021. Contemporary automobiles are outfitted with computerized technology that provides wireless integration for driving in areas such as power steering, electric motor timing, security system, seatbelts, and driver assistance systems. Such vehicles can communicate using Bluetooth and WiFi innovations, which also exposes the others to a number of vulnerabilities.
With increased utilization of autonomous cars, obtaining control of a vehicle or by using recording devices for spying is projected to increase in 2021. Self-driving as well as independent cars employ an even more complicated system that necessitates strict cybersecurity protections.
Trend #2: Integrating AI with cyber security
As for AI becoming incorporated throughout all target markets, the whole new technologies, combined with machine learning, will have led to significant changes in internet security. AI has also played a critical role in the development of computerized security devices, natural language, image recognition, and fully automated detection systems.
Even though it is being used for highly customized malicious software and assaults to circumvent the most recent data security measures. AI-enabled detection systems could even predict major threats and promptly inform administrators of every security breach, making them the next data security fad in 2021.
Trend #3: The new target – Mobile
In 2019, cyber – security patterns predict a substantial increase (50 percent) in mobile payment malicious software or assaults, attempting to make our smartphone devices a prospective security threat. Every one of our photographs, banking transactions, email messages, and emails poses a greater harm to individuals. In 2021, a mobile phone virus or malicious software might very well grab the attention of cybersecurity trends.
Trend #4: Cloud vulnerability
With so many companies migrating to the cloud, security precautions must be constantly maintained and measured to avoid information leaks. Even though cloud implementations including such Microsoft are well-secured on one’s end, it’s really the client end which is a primary component of inaccurate mistakes, malicious code, and cyber emails.
Trend #5: Data breaches
Information will proceed to become a top priority for businesses around the world. Protecting digital information is indeed the main objective now, whether it be for an organization or an individual. Each and every small error or virus in your framework browser or apps can allow an attacker to take private information. Latest, stringent regulations The General Data Protection (GDPR) went into effect on May 25th, 2018, providing data protection and privacy to individuals in the European Union (EU). Comparably, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) went into effect on 1st January, 2020, to protect consumer protection in California.
Trend #6: IoT with 5G networks
The Internet of Things (IoT) to 5G networks will be the next furious cyber security pattern for 2021. To 5G networks set to launch worldwide in 2020, the Internet of Things would then create a new generation of connections (IoT). This interaction among different devices exposes the others to any outside impact, assaults, or an unidentified application glitch.
Only the country’s most successful browser, which is endorsed by Google Chrome, has been discovered to always have deep flaws. 5G architectural design is still relatively new to the company, necessitating thorough research to identify flaws in order to make the process protect from future attacks. Each process of the 5 Cellular networks could bring plenty of cyberattacks that we aren’t aware of. Manufacturing companies must be extremely cautious when building in this area.
Trend #7: Automation and integration
The very next cyber security trend would be that, with the volume of data increasing with each day, it is imperative that automation be incorporated to provide more advanced control of the information. Advanced work demands put pressure on experts and technicians to produce rapid and convenient alternatives, making technology more useful than before. To develop more security systems throughout every aspect, actually responsible are integrated throughout the iterative methodology. Massive and complicated operating systems are even more difficult to secure, attempting to make automation, and also information assurance, an essential feature in software development.
Trend #8: Targeted ransomware
Focused malware is yet another largest competitor’s trend which we can’t have seemed to disregard for 2020. Businesses, primarily in emerging nations, depend heavily on specific order to generate their everyday activities. Such ransomware objectives are much more focused, including the Wanni Cry attack on Hospital settings in England and Scotland, which manipulated over 70,000 medical devices. But while malware usually threatens to submit the victim’s information until a ransom has been paid, it can also directly impact large organizations or countries.
Trend #9: Cyber warfare
There will be no pause throughout the battle for exceptionalism between both the west and east power and authority. Although these assaults are few, tensions between us And Israel or Hackers frequently make global headlines; they get a massive effect through an incident including such election results. And, with far more than 70 election results scheduled for next year, criminal activity increases throughout that period. Elevated security breaches, as well as economic and business mysteries, are expected to be the best cyber security trends in 2021.
Trend #10: Other insider threats
Human factors remain one of the biggest causes of something like the data breach. With billions and billions of stolen information, a single negative day or deliberate backdoor can bring down the entire company. Verizon’s data breach study contains actionable insight on cybersecurity patterns, revealing that workers explicitly or implicitly perpetrated 34% of maximum attacks. As a result, make sure to raise consciousness within the premises in order to protect data.
The above cybersecurity trends in 2021 are expected to increase organizations’ anxiety of stacking safety measures. This year, companies are required to spend more than ever, with $1 trillion or even more spent on risk mitigation alone.
Effective information security management should begin at the highest levels of the organization. A strong cyber security cultural heritage, strengthened by CyberArk training programme, will ensure that each employee understands which cyber security seems to be their obligation and spontaneously defaults to safety. Great management and efficient work processes should coexist.
With infrastructure issues playing a major role in almost every organization today, it would be a wise decision for them to begin their learning process in cybersecurity right now in order of becoming specialists for tomorrow. Cybersecurity professionals who are qualified and experienced are one of the top experts in the IT business sector. | <urn:uuid:ea447f3a-5fda-4016-ba27-d0b177b70b4e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://technogiants.net/10-emerging-cybersecurity-trends-watch-2021/ | 2024-04-14T23:57:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.934207 | 1,556 |
Building your business from the ground up or simply managing a company is never free of problems to solve and challenges to overcome. There is not always time to do everything within the working hours, nor the possibility to supervise all that is going on inside the building. The good news is, there is no need to.
In this day and age, there’s nothing easier than performing a great deal of work without having to stay from 9 to 5 at the office. Indeed, the technology provides no shortage of options to oversee certain operations of a working company, or even manage it remotely.
This is where plenty of online tools and mobile apps that already impact every aspect of our lives come in – business dealings not excluded. Undoubtedly, there are plenty of useful apps that a small (or larger) company can benefit from. Some of them could be considered a must-have for any business owner, and some could be very helpful in increasing overall productivity, re-organizing and modernizing business structures.
Nowadays you can easily find mobile solutions in various areas, and for all sorts of operations your company may be interested in performing. Whether we are talking about setting a budget and keeping books, communicating within a team of staff, following the schedule, or sharing essential files – there’s probably a good app for that already.
All of the assistance modern technology provides is even more advantageous for small business owners, as they don’t always have time and resources to do everything alone from scratch. Sure, you can always delegate some of the work you have to do to your employees or outsource, but that means more expenses. Regardless of whether you are a CEO of a big company or have your startup with a few employees, you would still want to keep your finger on the pulse and your hands on the steering wheel.
Most of the apps for business will let you do just that even when on the go. When there is not enough time to keep up the appearances and setting up meetings, you can always let your subordinates know what is next on the agenda and what is expected of them, even if you are far away from the office.

Analytics-driven content marketing to win in decision-making moments
CONTENT marketing is a stealthy branding tool when used properly.
Unfortunately, not all businesses are doing it right and may handicap without a sound content strategy in the digital era.
This is especially true as billions of daily active users on digital platforms get fed an endless stream of content. Businesses that want their brand voice heard amid the noise will need to up the ante.
As a result, businesses are turning to technology for leverage.
Though, that is not surprising at all as analytics-infused content marketing can certainly reach deeper into the psyche of consumers.
Regardless of industry, analytics-driven content can help businesses build stronger relationships with their consumers. Here’s how.
Step 1 | Watch closely and ask good questions
Businesses can identify their audience profile and understand them through data points.
Naturally, this will help with knowing how to kick start conversations with consumers and respond to problems and queries effectively.
Step 2 | Be very, very specific
A picture paints a thousand words and data analytics provide petabytes of information. Analytics can show not only problems and queries but also consumers’ interests and demographics.
With a lead on all things, marketers can design effective content that truly connects with consumers.
Step 3 | Mass personalize
Analytics-driven content enables mass expansion in a very personalized way. This is to say, an identified user persona will serve as a blueprint for the content creation process.
This is to attract more of the same market. Consequently, content marketing can help grow the market.
Step 4 | Position for effective visibility
Once a user persona is identified, businesses can use the persona to design their digital campaigns to ensure effective visibility.
Each persona is different and only data can tell what format and channel will get the most eyeballs.
Step 5 | Create a continuous feedback loop
Usually, marketers will have several campaigns running at a go. With more analytics, a business can further measure and refine their campaigns to assess effectiveness.
Thus, brands will also find their voice clearer and making a greater impact over time.
At the end of the day, good content marketing can deepen brand awareness of a business. This is so that it’s constantly at the back of consumers’ minds.
On top of that, it can empower consumers in knowing the brand has what they need and want. This helps build brand confidence amongst consumers and will come in handy when the decision-making moment comes along.
In the digital era, those moments come quite often.
So, while content marketing can be tedious, anything that connects and build loyalty and trust is definitely worth the while.

Hyderabad: With the government deciding to lift the lockdown and night curfew starting Sunday, the city police who until now strictly enforced the lockdown guidelines will continue to keep a check on Covid appropriate behavior among citizens. In all the three police commissionerates — Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Rachakonda — over 600 police check posts were setup with thousands of police personnel on ground ever since the lockdown was announced on May 12.
As the government had allowed full occupancies in schools, hotels, bars and other public places, the police are expecting there will be an increase in footfall and large gatherings. “For ensuring Covid appropriate behaviour like wearing mask and maintaining social distance in public places, enforcement will continue,” said Mahesh Bhagwat, Police Commissioner, Rachakonda.
With this, teams of police personnel will be on the job to detect those not wearing masks and also those who are not wearing them properly. Similarly, the Traffic Police will book cases for violation after taking photographs of the violators. The violations will be checked from the Command and Control Centre as well.
“Though the cases have come down and the positivity rate too has declined, the threat is still there. Even after the lockdown is lifted and all activities are reopened, a check on Covid appropriate behaviour needs to be kept,” said Anjani Kumar, Police Commissioner, Hyderabad.
Police in the neighbouring Cyberabad Commissionerates too have issued instructions to different wings including the Law and Order and the Traffic Police to register cases against violators.

After encountering issues with regards to players playing in various leagues, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) will be more lenient in dealing with it this 95th Season of men’s basketball tournament set to begin July 7 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.
Peter Cayco of first time NCAA host school Arellano University announced Tuesday that the oldest college-based league has revised its rules with regards to applying sanctions on teams for players found to have played in other leagues – also known as ‘ligang labas’.
“Nag-amend kami ng rule (We’ve amended the rule). It was crafted for the protection of schools,” said Cayco, accompanied by basketball commissioner Tonichi Pujante during the Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Forum at the Amelie Hotel in Manila.
“Now kasalanan mo (player), ikaw lang ang masa-suffer, not the whole team (Players involved if it’s their fault, they’ll suffer from it, not the whole team,” added Cayco, the incoming NCAA Management Committee (MANCOM) chairman for season 2019-2020.
It’s common practice for players to join other teams in ‘ligang labas’ – especially during summer time or off-season of the NCAA.
But once the league starts to accept the lineups for the coming season through the eligibility meeting, players should no longer be allowed to play in other tournaments. | <urn:uuid:484ecc8b-0e67-4b44-8f5d-648003b21290> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://tempo.com.ph/2019/06/26/ncaa-relaxes-on-ligang-labas-rule/ | 2024-04-14T23:10:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.967406 | 327 |
The man is lucky to be alive after he apparently fell about 100 feet down a cliff edge after it allegedly collapsed beneath him as he walked on it. According to CAL FIRE San Mateo, the unidentified man was walking along some cliffs near Moss Beach, San Mateo County, California about daybreak when the cliff edge gave way beneath him and caused him to fall. This was about 22 miles south of San Francisco. It’s estimated that he fell 100 feet. The news has spread around the internet and is currently a hot topic of conversation.
A woman reportedly heard the man’s cries for assistance at 8:30 AM as she was out for a walk nearby. She was able to inform the authorities of the situation. Within 22 minutes of being alerted, Coastside Fire was able to reach the man and drag him to safety. Cal Fire CZU sent a 1-minute, 14-second video to Twitter along with a lengthy description. They described the incident and stated that a man was walking on Moss Beach before daybreak when the cliff collapsed beneath him.
Additionally, it was noted that the man called for assistance after falling 100 feet. A woman living close to the scene heard his calls at 8:30 AM, and she immediately alerted the authorities. The man was safely rescued 22 minutes after they arrived. The fact that the man lived through the ordeal is very shocking. Cal Fire continued by warning the crowd to stay away from cliff edges because they are unstable. The video clip has received a lot of views since the post was uploaded on August 27, 2022.
Let’s not forget to mention that the video is gaining a lot of attention from online users and is going viral on social media platforms. Let’s investigate the content of the video that attracted so much attention. According to sources, a fire engine acting as the victim is anchored by a string of ropes that a dozen police officers are pulling. The victim’s identity has not yet been released. The victim was reportedly accompanied by another police as well.
They are lifted up the cliff’s side. The individual who fell was speaking with authorities as he was being pulled by the rescuers.

I Say, “100% Running A Customer Success Program” And Here’s Why, Change My Mind…
My guess is that you probably think I’m nuts for even bothering to write about which is more important – Customer Acquisition or Customer Success/Development – because you’ve already made up your mind and “the answer is clear”. Right?
“It’s both, of course!”
If you read my position that Customer Success (CS) is better and said, “No way!”, I’m guessing one of two things:
- You’re in the beginning stages of your business
- Your business model doesn’t allow for repeat business from existing clients (or so you think, see FAQ at the end of this post)
If you read I support CS and said, “Heck Yeah!” you’re probably:
- Running an established business with happy customers
- Understand every business model supports repeat business from existing customers
- Maybe have even benefited from running a viable Customer Success Program
If you said, “Both”, nice work. Stay tuned as I’m going to lay out some more insights as to how if you manage a solid Customer Success Program, Client Acquisition will naturally follow. How cool is that?
Either way, no matter what stage of the business cycle you’re in, or what your original stance was, keep reading because this article WILL be valuable even if you’re signing your first client today.
“But Thomas, how can my business focus on Customer Success if it’s new and doesn’t have any?”
That’s a valid question. In the beginning stages of any business, Client Acquisition is critical. Without it there is no business, no money, no future.
However, what this post is about, is how businesses that have as little as 10 active customers can realize faster, more consistent growth by shifting their focus from purely Client Acquisition to Customer Success.
Businesses with large emails lists can leverage this opportunity, too. Even if the folks on that list are seemingly “dead” leads. If they haven’t unsubscribed, they’re never dead. You just haven’t sent them an offer good enough yet.
Let’s dig into all this a little more to see what the real opportunity is of focusing on existing clients, rather than new ones…
The Power of Customer Success & Retention
Did you know that, on average, it’s 5-times more expensive to acquire a new customer than it is to sell to an existing one? 5-times as expensive!
In other words, for every $1 you spend fostering a relationship with an existing client, you’d have to spend $5 convincing a prospective client who doesn’t know you, doesn’t trust you, and doesn’t want to be bothered by you to pull out their credit card. That’s rough!
New clients aren’t just expensive to acquire either, they’re also less likely to spend big money with you right out of the gate. Until you earn a customer’s trust by delivering the transformation you promised, they’re dealing with buyer’s remorse, and looking to see if the refund period is still in effect.
So what can you do? Implement a proper Customer Success Program! Here are just a few of the benefits that come from that:
- Increasing customer retention by 5% can increase profits anywhere from 25-95%.
- The success rate of selling to a customer you already have is 60-70%, while the success rate of selling to a new customer is typically 5-20%.
- One customer experience agency found loyal customers are 5x as likely to repurchase, 5x as likely to forgive, 4x as likely to refer, and 7x as likely to try a new offering.
- U.S. companies lose $136.8 billion per year due to avoidable consumer switching.
- American Express found 33% of customers will consider switching companies after just one instance of poor customer service.
What does all that mean? 1) Keeping customers happy is profitable; 2) Even after getting someone to open their wallet, you have to nurture the relationship, deliver on your promises, and have an impact in their life.
In other words, ensuring a Customer’s Success is THE MOST POWERFUL WAY to guarantee your business succeeds.
Also, by focusing on your existing client base, growth can come much faster and costs a LOT less than constantly trying to bring in new, unproven customers.
Customer Acquisition “Specialist” Offers Flood The Ad-waves
As you can see from above, there is immense power and value in building a customer-centric program directly into your business’ standard operating procedures (SOPs).
Oddly enough though, from the endless stream of ads I see on Facebook, LinkedIn, Insta, etc., the demand for appointment setters, lead gen companies, and others alike has exploded in the last few years.
It’s a bloody red ocean of anyone willing to take your money on the promise of getting prospective client meetings booked on your online calendar. The sad part, from the stats above, typically only 5-20% of those “new client meetings” will convert into paying customers. What’s even worse, typically only 20% of those who convert will actually make you ongoing revenue.
Still, companies of all shapes and sizes seem to be solely focused on new Customer Acquisition and the market is happy to take their money without even having to guarantee results.
I should know, I’ve paid some of them to get nothing. Total waste of money. Such a shame. For some best practices on hiring/firing your digital marketing agency, check out this post.
I should note that I understand that the ads I see online are targeted to me based on things like search activity, likes, shares, and posts. It makes sense. I’m in the business of helping other businesses grow so why wouldn’t their algorithms want to point these hucksters my way?
That’s the dream of every business owner too, right – An endless stream of new, cheaply acquired customers lining up at their door ready to give you cash? Without that, you can’t run a sustainable business, right? Wrong.
Again, if you’re a start-up, Customer Acquisition is everything, but we’re not talking about that here.
Shifting From Customer Acquisition To Customer Success
But at what point is it time to shift from focusing on Customer Acquisition to Customer Success?
My experience says that it’s either before you fall victim to the 80/20 rule, or when you have 10 or more active clients, whichever happens first.
What’s the 80/20 rule?
In most businesses, over time, eventually 80% of your revenue will come from only 20% of your customer base. It’s one of the many business applications of the Pareto Principle, which states “The majority of results tend to come from a minority of causes.”
When the 80/20 rule comes into play regarding revenue-generating customers, it’s also a direct result of focusing purely on Customer Acquisition, rather than Customer Success.
Let’s do a little exercise…
Run a report right now to see how many of your clients are actually actively making you money month-to-month, or year-over-year?
If you’ve made it past the elusive 5-year mark in business, my guess is you’re well into the 80/20 arena. Go ahead and pause reading this and run the report on existing, active clients. Let me know if the 80/20 rule applies, or is near it and note it in the comments below.
[…Seriously, pause reading here…]
Got your number? Was it 80/20? 90/10? 40/60?
If your business has more dead accounts than active ones let me ask, why are you still servicing the bottom X% that don’t make you money?
Worse, have you ever considered the the fact that every time those bottom X% connect with someone on your staff they’re actually COSTING you money, draining the balance sheet?
What’s stopping you from dropping those clients entirely and shifting the focus to over-delivering for those in the top 20% of existing customers who really pay the bills?
If that wasn’t clear enough let me put it this way, drop the 80% dead weight, give the 20% money-makers even more of what they ask for, and your business will do better, guaranteed.
“Thomas, are you crazy?! Drop 80% of my clients and I’ll be bankrupt in hours!”
If you asked that then you’re missing the point. Maybe in your business, 69% of customers are making you money, maybe it’s 10%, or 90%. The point is, drop the dead weight and you’ll be ready for what’s next – Implementing a proper Customer Success & Referral Program.
3-Step Guide To Launching A Proper Customer Success Program
In all my years of being alive, I can’t remember ever seeing an offer that focused purely on helping successful, established businesses harness the power of their existing client base – until today!
Today we’re releasing a new program that was specifically designed to help your business leverage the incredible power of its existing client base, and realize massive growth, without having to shell out tens of thousands in ads, or for a sales team.
It’s called our Customer Success & Ascension Program.
This program consists of 3 easy-to-implement phases that allow you to rapidly expand your business by maximizing existing relationships. Here’s how it works…
Phase I: Mapping the Customer Journey
To best understand what it takes to turn a prospect into a raving fan of your business, it’s imperative to understand the journey customers take to go from a cold lead to part of the top 20%. In every customer journey there are also critical points every client reaches that your team MUST get right or the deal is dead.
I saw an amazing presentation by Aman Chatha, VP, Innovation & Strategic Partnerships, at “The Marketing Department” discuss this in depth where he called these critical points, “moments of truth” in the Customer Journey. I’m going to call them MOTs for short.
Identifying, tracking, and optimizing these MOTs is imperative to running an effective Customer Success Program. Keep in mind, MOTs also occur at all stages of the journey – Sales, Onboarding, Support, Retention, & Development.
What are some examples of MOTs? For instance, I work with a large payment SaaS platform that has multiple MOTs during each stage of their customer journey. Here are just a few examples:
Sales: That the clients’ organization will never have to pay credit card processing fees again. This is the main selling point of their system and this needs to be delivered upon from day one.
Onboarding: That the client’s account will be approved and set up quickly and with ease for the customer. Miss these goals and the sale is (obviously) dead.
Support: Helping with things like payment refunds, adding/editing features as the business’ needs change, and being genuinely helpful when meeting the customer’s wants by delivering what they actually need (they’re not always the same thing).
Retention: Annual account reviews to ensure the client is getting the most from their time with the platform, and interactions that show the company cares about them and not just the revenue they generate.
Development: Giving customers a proper success pathway, a platform to air and solve grievances, and tools to foster engagement and incentivize referrals.
Screw up any of these elements and the client will head to the next payment platform. It’s that simple. Get these MOTs right though and these customers will sing their praises forever more! Why? Because the customer succeeded in getting what they wanted (and needed).
How do you know what your “Moments of Truth” are?
The best way to uncover your MOTs is interviewing all staff, the top 20% of customers, and even some of the folks who weren’t able to consume your product/service.
Your staff and happy customers will be glad you want their input in the process. I’d also strongly suggest making these interviews anonymous using an online form like JotForm or SurveyMonkey. This will help ensure people can give their honest insights, without risking their paycheck.
Interviewing staff will also allow you to better understand what every employee thinks their roll is in the company. The answers may surprise you.
Interviewing angry customers who couldn’t buy-in will also tell you exactly what went wrong and what to take seriously. Negative feedback is amazing because it can reveal the exact parts of the customer journey that may need to be fixed, enhanced, automated, or even eliminated.
Wondering what questions to ask staff, happy, and angry customers? Stay tuned as I’m going to give you an incredible cheat sheet for building your own Customer Success Program at the end of this article. Don’t skip ahead though, as there’s still 2 incredible phases to cover.
Phase II: Customer Surveys
My oh my! This is seriously my favorite part. Why are surveys my favorite? Because they can tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about how to run and grow your business.
Want to create a new offer that’s guaranteed to increase revenue? Ask your customers what they want to buy from you next, build exactly that, then sell it to them. They won’t just pay, but thank you for taking their money.
Wondering how to create your next marketing campaign that’ll actually work? Ask your customers what they love about their experience with you so far and regurgitate that on ever brochure, banner, ad, etc.
Wondering how to acquire new customers? Ask existing customers if they’d recommend you to others. When they say yes, ask them to record a brief video on their phone singing your praises and post it to their social media accounts for a $25 gift card. (Oops, did we just reveal a cheaper solution to Customer Acquisition?)
Wondering how to acquire even more customers on a regular basis? Incentivize your clients in ways they will want to sell for you over and over again. Most companies now call these affiliate programs, and I’ve seen them grow companies exponentially.
Think about it this way, if you have a sales team on staff that’s taking either a salary, a percentage of everything they bring in, or both, how much does that cost at the end of the day? In other words, what’s your actual cost per acquisition (CPA) for a new customer?
If you’re running an expensive ad campaign, how much does it cost in ad spend, staff time, etc. to acquire a new customer? Cut that amount in half, use it to incentivize existing clients to bring in new ones, and watch your revenue double almost overnight. You’re welcome.
Wondering what questions to ask on the customer survey? It’s actually just 4 simple questions, but how you release the survey can have a big impact on response rates. Here are the 4 questions and the insights they’ll provide to your business…
What do you like most about [insert your offer here]?
This reveals why these customers bought in and what to say in your new marketing materials to attract more of the same top 20% revenue-generators.
What areas do you think we could improve on?
This will reveal some more “moments of truth” that need addressing, and other areas of your business that need to be enhanced, automated, or eliminated. Don’t take these answers lightly either. Act upon every one possible.
What other products and services do you wish we offered now or in the future?
Ahem, want to make more money tomorrow? Do EXACTLY what your customers say here and it’ll be the easiest check you’ll ever cash.
Would you recommend us to a friend or colleague?
[Clears throat again] Seriously, it doesn’t get any easier than this to acquire NEW customers. When someone says yes to this, either ask them to schedule a call with your Customer Success team to gather names and emails, or route them to an online form where they can put in their own names and emails.
Then send those referred folks a personalized email with an offer to opt-into that references who referred them and why.
You can also ask anyone willing to recommend you to record a brief video testimonial on their phone that can be repurposed in so many ways on social media, YouTube, etc.

Phase III: Leveraging Client Referrals To Get Consistent, New Customers In The Door
Building on the last idea of having customers help refer others, this final phase relies on incentivizing happy clients to bring in new business.
Think about how powerful this is. For every 10 customers you have, if you can get just 2 of them to refer 1 new client each, that will grow your business by 20% instantly. Better yet, those 2 new clients have already been indoctrinated into your business because they were referred by a friend/colleague, rather than a salesman.
Personal reviews can make or break a company, and the same goes for your business. People talk. The average happy customer will tell 3 others about their experience. The average angry customers will tell 122.
How many times have you gone to Amazon, read the “Product Description”, then immediately scrolled to the customer reviews, and bought or didn’t buy based on the reviews alone? Maybe you’ve even just seen that a product has 22,897 reviews and a 4.8/5 rating and then bought without reading reviews? I have. LOL!
Adding site reviews was even the Tipping Point for Amazon, which we covered in another post, and we all know how big they’ve gotten.
We’re now going to leverage that exact same strategy to consistently bring in new customers for your business. Customers who are even happy to give you $$. Why? Because they drank the Kool-Aid and were convinced by a friend/colleague, rather than got sold by a salesman. See the difference?
Step 1: Incentivizing Clients To Refer Others
Incentives can come in many forms, but it’s important they follow 3 simple rules:
- Take into account the Lifetime Value (LTV) of a typical customer (how much each makes you on average), and not exceed 30% of that amount
- Properly compensate the person referring you this new business once the deal is closed and paid. (Good to note that your CPA is now 1/5th of what it was when acquiring new customers the old fashioned way.)
- Fit both your audience and particular business model
How do you properly incentivize anyone to sell on your behalf? Some options that will help entice existing customers to send multiple referrals your way include:
- Buy One Get One (BOGO) offers
- Discounts on future purchases
- Rebate for a recent purchase
- Gift cards
- Swag (t-shirt, hats, other goodies)
- Quid pro quo (doing something for them in return)
- Content for their blog, podcast, YouTube channel, etc.
- Exclusive access to other areas of your product/service
- Cash (is still king)
- Notoriety: propping them up in your marketing material to increase their exposure
- Gamify the process by rewarding the top referring person with something like a brand new Ferrari (yes, that’s a thing companies “in the know” actually do)
Again, the particular incentives you give folks to refer business will ultimately depend on your business model, profit margins, and the lifetime value of a new customer.
My advice though, don’t cheap out in incentivizing ANYONE to refer business your way!
Sending someone a $5 t-shirt and a $25 gift card is incredibly inexpensive, especially if the lifetime value of a new customer is in the hundreds or even thousands of $$’s. Plus, the folks these existing customers bring in are typically going to be even more profitable from the start. Why? Because they’ve already drank the Kool-Aid and didn’t just get sold a bill of goods.
Step 2: Make It Simple To Refer
There are a number of ways to make it easy for customers to provide referral videos, emails, testimonials, reviews, etc. Again, which one is best for your business will come down to your business model, and where more of your ideal customers are hanging out online.
For example, local area businesses like chiropractors, contractors, and healthcare specialists should leverage FREE services like Google reviews. When people are searching online for services the first thing they type in the search bar is “[professionals] near me”. The companies with the most Google reviews are going to appear first, and customers will decide if they want to work with you based on them.
There are a number of other services you can access to collect and manage reviews, too:
- Google reviews
- Bing reviews
- and over 190,000,000 others from this Google search for “reputation management systems“
The point is, find the one that’s right for your business and brand and ask customers for a review at every single “Moment of Truth” uncovered in the survey above. When your team nails these MOTs, customers will sing your praises, and the reviews will deliver consistent, organic growth to your customer base and bottom line.
Step 3: Implement, Analyze, Optimize
Now that you have the means to start building a viable Customer Success Program (CSP), the next step is to implement it, analyze the results, and optimize the Customer Experience (CX) based on what you find.
Continually enhancing your CSP is the only way to effectively realize the amazing results possible with a proper CSP. Not to worry though, you just shaved 80% of your dead weight clients off the books, so you and your team now have plenty of free time to focus on helping existing clients do better and refer new clients with bellies full of your Kool-Aid.

Frequently Asked Questions
– Answering The Most Pressing Questions About Running A CSP –
My Business Model Doesn’t Support Repeat Business. How Can I Upsell Customers?
Ok, this is the easiest way to answer that – your customers will really only stop buying from you under 3 conditions:
- You destroy the relationship with bad customer experience
- You stop providing them real-world value
- You stop selling them new stuff
Seriously, that’s it. Let’s focus on the 3rd bullet though, that folks will stop buying from you if you stop selling them something.
Imagine you run a house painting business and someone has entrusted you with $5,000-$20,000 of their hard earned money to make their house look nice for the next 20 years. That’s a HUGE nut to crack with homeowners, but you’ve done it, the sale is made and your crew is hard at work.
5 days later though the crew is done, they pack up their equipment, and it’s off to the next house, only to hope the customer calls again 20 years from now for another painting. Right?
But wait?! That same homeowner still has landscaping that needs tending to every month, pest control to keep the bugs out, an irrigation system that needs new underground hoses, windows that need to be cleaned every quarter, a driveway that needs power washing, a small roof leak needs to be patched.
If you’ve ever owned a home you know the list is endless and those are just their needs outside the house. What about inside? If you’re running a home painting company and not offering other ways to service the outside of the home you’re missing a MASSIVE opportunity to infinitely scale your business from now on.
But we don’t have the capacity to offer other services to clients right now. What do we do then?
That’s totally fine! If your company can’t fulfill on a customer’s other needs then find another company to partner with that can and start referring them new business for a finder’s fee. Typically that’d be 5-20% of the sale.
You’ll eventually notice the 80/20 rule creep back in here, too, as 80% of your customers will choose 20% of the upsells they’re offered. Once this happens, start planning how to bring those most-liked services in-house and earn 100% of the sale, rather than just 5-20%. In business school they call this “Vertical Integration“. In the real world we call it making more money the smart way.
The point is, no matter what industry you’re in, once you solve one issue for a customer, seven more will “magically” appear. It’s like when you vacuum that one spot on the floor that’s been bugging you, then all of a sudden 3 more pop up and you have to get them all. It’s up to you to spot these opportunities and unlock ways to capitalize on them.
Wondering what to sell your customer next? Ask them in the survey above!
Won’t Setting Up A CSP Take Up Too Much Time For Me, My Staff?
Not at all. That’s why we designed our Done-for-You Customer Success Program.
Having only 10 active clients doesn’t seem like enough?
True, 10 active clients is not a lot but the sooner you start the program, the sooner it will start working. Honestly, that starts with Day 1 of your business, and never end.
At the very least, start today by mapping the customer journey and start thinking about what questions you’d like to ask customers at each of the MOTs you uncover.
Why would we ever abandon our current Customer Acquisition efforts? That’s silly.
Of course you wouldn’t do that on day 1. We never suggested stopping your current Customer Acquisition efforts either. Instead, as you grow the CSP and reach Phase III, the CA end of your business will eventually take on a life of its own, and running expensive outbound campaigns will not be as vital.
We’ve never run a rewards program. Where do we start?
Run the survey linked above and let your customers tell you exactly what they would want in a rewards program, then deliver on the most requested plan.
Asking for referrals has always seemed sleazy to me. How do we ensure it doesn’t come across that way?
Remember, the only time you’ll be asking for a referral is after you’ve either met or exceeded the customer’s expectations during a MOT, or you’ve delivered on a promise and the customer is happy.
At either point, the customer is primed to want to share their experience, and will be glad you asked for their feedback and approved it to be released.
We’re already working with an agency. Can they do this for us?
Sure, but if they were going to do it, they probably would’ve by now. Send them this article and see what’s possible, or not. We’re also happy to work with your agency to get our Done-for-You CSP running for you.
We can’t pay our customers for referrals because of industry regulations. How do we get around that?
Totally understandable. There’s always ways to reward customers without risking regulatory infractions. To get started, consult with industry legal analysts and see where there are opportunities to properly incentivize folks in your niche, without risking your business as a whole. I can assure you, someone in the industry is running a successful campaign that incentivizes organic growth. It’s just up to you to find them and model what’s working, or give us a call to help out.

In the US, scent adding to candle formulations is a regular practice. Actually, between 75 and 80 percent of candles sold in the United States are scented. Candle makers collaborate closely with fragrance producers to create scented compositions that are not only aesthetically beautiful but also burn correctly and safely.
When a scented candle is lit, the fragrance from the solid candle itself and the hot wax pool evaporating off it releases the perfume. Similar to unscented candles, correctly manufactured scented candles burn primarily to release carbon dioxide and water vapor. The sole distinction is that scented candles also generate a smell.
The majority of scented candles include a mixture of synthetic and natural scents. These fragrance ingredients may come from synthetic scent compounds or from essential oils. The addition of fragrance to a candle formulation should be carefully controlled to guarantee that the candle will burn cleanly and correctly. A well-made candle will only contain fragrance components permitted for candle use.
More than 2,000 fragrance compounds and essential oils are available to candle producers, allowing them to create aromas that are both palatable to customers and appropriate for candle use. These chemicals, which are safe and of the highest caliber, are also included in a large number of fragrances, bath soaps, lotions, and shampoos.
The raw ingredients for fragrance that are used in candles and other consumer items are subjected to a number of health and safety examinations. Only precisely crafted scents that have been certified for use in candles are used by reputable candle producers.
Lighting Up Your World
Light is the absence of darkness. Since the very beginning of time light has been an essential means of being able to function. The invention of electricity inadvertently reduced the popularity of candles. Needless to say, the use of candles never became extinct. As the years passed the art of candle-making just became more innovative and more creative.
Candles are much more than just accessories and balls of light to be used when creating a spa-like effect in your bathroom while relaxing after a stressful week. Candles set the tone for your experience. Over the years candles have been designed in different shapes, sizes, and colors to match different moods and themes. One thing for sure is that developing an awesome-smelling candle definitely helps the variations in size and shape.
Candles are meant to make occasions more beautiful as well as to elevate your mood. They have been around since around 200 B.C. when people in China would use whale fat to make candles. Incidentally, Ancient Egyptians were the first people to make candles in their own way to provide light. They made rushlights and torches to help them light their way. They made these items by soaking the core of reeds in melted animal fat or tallow.
What’s In A Fragrance
A scent says a million words. The scent a candle carries speaks volumes. Traditionally, we associate certain scents with memories, feelings, and specific activities. With candles, it is the same situation. When we want to evoke a certain emotion and sentiment, we select a particular scent to match a specific color. We associate cooler colors like blues and creams with relaxation and green and reds with sensuality and money.
As such when selecting candles, we look for candles with certain scents that match the season or occasion and feeling we are trying to emote. A good example of this is the Christmas season. When selecting candles for Christmas, we usually select scents like cinnamon, nutmeg, fresh pine, vanilla, pumpkin spice, apple, and cloves. We also look for candles that have vibrant Christmas colors such as red, yellow, and green to celebrate the festive season.
Candles play an important role in the seasons we celebrate and the special occasions that we observe. Birthdays are celebrations that usually we celebrate in groups and usually have different themes that we can relate to. Children’s birthdays always have bright-colored candles that are unscented or candles that sparkle when lit. These candles add drama and excitement to the occasion and make a birthday celebration a memorable and exceptional occasion.
There are other celebrations that are of a more religious nature which do not require scented candles but plain white unscented candles. These occasions are like candle lighting ceremonies and confirmation services at churches, church services where candles are lit, and lastly Judaism and Buddhism have different ceremonies like in Christianity where usually unscented candles are lit to welcome peace and as a ritualistic practice.
It is critical to pair the right scent with the right color when selecting a candle whether for ritualistic purposes or fan or annual celebration. Candles are a treasured part of any celebration and help to set the tone and it is absolutely important that if we want to celebrate life at a christening or we want to gift a couple a celebratory candle we select a white candle with a light scent like fresh linen or lavender. Selecting the right color candle with the right scent to match is like selecting the right type of wine to go with the right meat.
The Numbers Game
Making candles is an art that is done with sincere precision. It requires the use of specific tools and candle wax that hardens to form into a beautifully smooth wicked masterpiece. Applying scent is the most important part as well as the most exciting part. As a candle maker myself, I love using lightly scented candles. However, I really prefer candles that have a lingering scent that gives my bathroom and bedroom a burst of lavender or lemon zest.
The industry standard for applying scents is 0.5 ounces for every pound of wax you use. Layering your scents is something I have personally done and it is a very interesting process as you are using your eyes and nose to guide you in adding your scents that complement each other. When layering scents, you are able to do double scenting or triple scenting. When double scenting it is recommended that you use 1 ounce of fragrance for every pound of wax while in triple scenting you are able to use 1 ounce of fragrance for every pound of wax.
Usually, you need to be particular about the brand of wax that you use as different brands may tell you the fragrance ratio and how much fragrance should be added for every pound of wax. It is imperative to read the wax package and to get as much information about the wax we are using as using too little wax may lead to a low scent throw. On the other hand, using too much fragrance may lead to a strong hot throw and overload the wax, and cause candle sweating or curdling.
When I say refer to a strong hot throw, I am referring to how strong a candle smells when you light it and burn it in a room at home. This can be very important to experiment with when you are adding fragrance to your melted wax. Experimentation is key when working with adding fragrances to your melted wax.
The fragrance being applied may be applied for a specific purpose. It may be for relaxation or for healing purposes. Be sure to research to find out which oils heal versus which ones relax. Eucalyptus for instance is an oil that relaxes muscles and clears your sinuses for a free-flow inhalation experience. Clearly, a eucalyptus peppermint blend will be ideal for double scenting as it will relax your muscles and help clear your sinuses and improve your well-being.
A client may say to you that they like a strong-smelling candle because their room is large so your job may be to blend the scents so well that you mix the appropriate scents in the right quantity so as to have a strong hot throw in the room as requested. All in all, it is a magical journey mixing scent and blending the right color in your melted wax to make a smooth scent-filled wicked masterpiece.
There is no better way to cheer yourself up through difficult times than with a soothing scented candle. Sometimes candles are perfumed to improve the ambience of your place. And the finest candles are those that manage to combine both calming aroma and fascinating illumination. You’ll never run out of possibilities when using scented candles.
The most common types of scented candles are those that have floral scents (rose, lavender, crimson, etc.), fruity scents (citrus, lemon, tropical fruits), sweet and sugary smells (vanilla, chocolate, caramel), spicy or herbal scents (rosemary, ginger, thyme, etc.), plant scents (pine, juniper berry, seagrass, patchouli, fig, etc.), and musky scents, sheer musk, etc.
The scents of the scented candles trigger the memory and mood-related areas of our brains. After a hard day of work, it helps you decompress and transports you to a nostalgic location with long-gone memories. A soft violet scent may conjure up warm, cuddly memories of romance, while a sharp lemon scent may bring back memories of your most recent summer vacation. As a result, perfumes not only make your room cozier but also improve your mood. | <urn:uuid:945ec299-c64e-4bea-9ce6-2c4b2318563c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thecandleland.com/how-much-fragrance-should-i-use-in-candles/ | 2024-04-14T23:49:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.943704 | 1,872 |

Outdoor entertaining is a popular activity, especially during warmer months. Whether you are hosting a barbecue, a dinner party, or a romantic evening under the stars, candles are an essential element to create the perfect ambiance. Candles not only add warmth and light to the atmosphere, but they also enhance the overall aesthetic of the event.
When it comes to selecting the best types of candles for outdoor entertaining, there are several factors to consider. The type of candle, its scent, and its size can all impact the overall experience. Additionally, it is important to choose candles that are safe for outdoor use and that can withstand the elements.
Why candles are important for outdoor entertaining?
Candles are an important aspect of outdoor entertaining as they create a warm, inviting atmosphere that can enhance the overall experience. They provide a soft, ambient light that can help set the mood and create a cozy environment. Candles can also help to repel insects and mosquitoes, which can be a nuisance during outdoor events.
Furthermore, candles can be used to add a decorative touch to the event. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, allowing you to create a personalized look that matches your theme or style. Whether you prefer traditional white pillar candles, colorful votives, or scented candles, there are options available to suit your preferences.

Types of Candles
When it comes to outdoor entertaining, candles can create a warm and inviting atmosphere. However, not all candles are suitable for outdoor use. Here are some of the best types of candles for outdoor entertaining:
Citronella candles are a popular choice for outdoor entertaining because they are specifically designed to repel mosquitoes and other insects. These candles are made with citronella oil, which is a natural insect repellent. The scent of citronella masks the odors that attract insects, making it an effective way to keep bugs at bay. Citronella candles come in a variety of sizes and styles, including pillar candles, votive candles, and tea light candles.
Beeswax candles are a natural and eco-friendly option for outdoor entertaining. These candles are made from beeswax, which is a renewable resource that is produced by bees. Beeswax candles have a natural honey scent and burn longer and cleaner than traditional paraffin wax candles. They also emit negative ions, which can help purify the air and reduce allergens.
Soy candles are another eco-friendly option for outdoor entertaining. These candles are made from soy wax, which is a renewable resource that is derived from soybeans. Soy candles burn longer and cleaner than traditional paraffin wax candles, and they also emit less soot and smoke. Soy candles come in a variety of scents and styles, including pillar candles, votive candles, and tea light candles.
Floating candles are a unique and decorative option for outdoor entertaining. These candles are designed to float on water and can be used in pools, ponds, or other water features. Floating candles come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including round, square, and star-shaped. They can also be scented or unscented.
Votive candles are a versatile option for outdoor entertaining. These small candles are designed to burn in votive holders, which come in a variety of styles and materials. Votive candles can be used to create a warm and inviting atmosphere on tables, in lanterns, or scattered throughout the outdoor space. They also come in a variety of scents and colors.
Tea Light Candles
Tea light candles are another versatile option for outdoor entertaining. These small candles are designed to fit in tea light holders, which come in a variety of styles and materials.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Candles for Outdoor Entertaining
Outdoor entertaining is a great way to enjoy some fresh air and good company. Candles are an essential component of any outdoor gathering, providing warmth, ambiance, and light. However, not all candles are created equal. When choosing candles for outdoor entertaining, there are several factors to consider:
The scent of your candles can make or break your outdoor gathering. You want to choose a scent that complements the outdoor setting and enhances the overall experience. For example, if you’re having a barbecue, you might want to choose candles with a smoky, woodsy scent. If you’re having a garden party, you might want to choose candles with a floral or herbal scent. However, it’s important to remember that some people may be sensitive to strong scents, so choose your candles wisely.
The burn time of your candles is another important factor to consider. You don’t want your candles to burn out before your gathering is over, but you also don’t want them to last so long that they become a nuisance. It’s a good idea to choose candles with a burn time of at least 6-8 hours, but no more than 12 hours. This will ensure that your candles last throughout your gathering, but don’t burn for too long.
Wind is a common problem when it comes to outdoor entertaining. It can blow out candles, scatter flames, and even start fires. To avoid these problems, it’s important to choose candles that are wind-resistant. Look for candles with sturdy wicks and heavy bases that won’t tip over easily. You can also choose candles with lids or covers to protect the flames from the wind.
Size and Shape
The size and shape of your candles can also affect your outdoor gathering. Large candles can provide more light and warmth, but they can also be cumbersome and take up too much space. Small candles, on the other hand, can be easily scattered throughout your outdoor space, but they may not provide enough light or warmth. It’s a good idea to choose candles of varying sizes and shapes to create a dynamic and interesting display.
Scent | Burn Time | Wind Resistance | Size and Shape |

Choosing the best candles for outdoor entertaining is an essential aspect of creating an inviting and comfortable ambiance for your guests. From citronella candles to soy candles, the options are endless. However, it’s important to consider the type of event, time of day, and location when selecting the right candles.
Factors to Consider
Before choosing candles for your outdoor entertaining, consider the following factors:
- The type of event
- The time of day
- The location
- The season
- The purpose of the candles
By taking these factors into account, you can select candles that will not only enhance the ambiance but also serve a practical purpose, such as repelling insects.

Citronella candles | Repels insects |
Soy candles | Burns longer and cleaner |

The African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) and Nigeria Export-Import Bank (NEXIM) have announced a $750,000 grant to support the improvement of the main channel of the Niger-Benue river in Nigeria.
The amount when converted based on the N410 per dollar official exchange rate of the Central Bank of Nigeria translates into N307.5m.
The approval is part of the Regional Sealink Project, which aims to bridge the gap in maritime transport infrastructure and improve trade connectivity in West Africa.
Afreximbank provided a grant of $350,000 to supplement the $450,000 made available by NEXIM, thus completing the financing of the barthymetric survey and hydrograhic and hydrological studies of the lower Niger-Benue River.
The studies will be undertaken under a joint collaboration framework between the Nigerian Navy Hydrography Department, Nigeria’s National Inland waterways Authority (NIWA) and Sealink Consortium Partners.
The completion of the studies will support the early commencement of the inland waterways operations planned under the Regional Sealink Project.
This would enabled the development of the inland waterways navigation chart as well as river ports and anchorage plans that will facilitate both bulk commodities and general cargo shipping, thereby boosting Nigeria’s bulk commodities trade and exports.
The Inland waterways are a key transport mode that plays a vital role in facilitating the efficient and cost-effective movement of goods and providing a competitive alternative to rail and road transport, while ensuring integration into the country’s international logistics chain.
Prof. Benedict Oramah, President of Afreximbank, said the project, which will facilitate regional transit, is timely given the recent commencement of trading under the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA).
He added, “The grant from Afreximbank and NEXIM will allow for the development of infrastructure that will eventually relieve road congestion and enable some bulky commodities and solid minerals to move by the river.
“The project will not only enhance Nigeria’s attractiveness as an investment destination, but also foster regional integration and trade in the ECOWAS region. In addition, it will facilitate the reduction of the level of informal trade, thereby promoting industrialisation and financial inclusion for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).”
Mr. Abubakar Abba Bello, Managing Director of NEXIM, said that the execution of the Grant Agreement strongly aligns with the strategic objectives of Afreximbank and NEXIM in trade promotion and support for the development of trade facilitating and enabling infrastructure.
He noted that this would deepen the partnership engagements of both institutions to foster trade connectivity, especially under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
He said, “The partnership will also facilitate the implementation of the Regional Sealink project, thereby promoting hinterland, coastal and transit trade as well as the broadening of Nigeria’s export basket with bulk commodities like solid minerals and agricultural products.”
The Regional Sealink Project is a trade facilitation initiative designed to address the critical logistics infrastructure gap towards facilitating and deepening inland and intra-coastal waterways operations.
It was adopted by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Commission as one of its seven priority projects under the ECOWAS Community Development Programmes.
Its implementation is expected to mitigate some of the main barriers to regional integration and the growth of cross-border trade, especially trade in large volumes of bulk commodities. | <urn:uuid:365704dd-4280-4305-8014-fbd2b0a48a15> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thecommerceafrica.com/afrexim-nexim-bank-support-nigerias-waterways-with-750000/ | 2024-04-15T00:39:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.912435 | 728 |

In our everyday lives, we are bombarded with things that are screaming for our attention. Too often, we get caught in virtual reality and are forgetting about us and the time that is slipping by. That’s why Itero Watches were created. With them we are bringing tradition back to life – in a modern form. Itero pocket watches are modern and boast many great features: Swiss parts movement, Sapphire crystal glass, 316L Stainless steel case are only some of them. To ensure that you can use them even when you are not wearing them, wooden pocket watch stand was created. Made out of solid, oil treated walnut, it suits in every environment – be it an office or a living room. Itero Watches are available for pre-order on Kickstarter. | <urn:uuid:44fc9cad-30fa-4a57-a378-de7cb1c1b39f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/itero-pocket-watches-back/ | 2024-04-14T23:20:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.964277 | 158 |

Betting 101: Parlay
Leg: Each individual bet in parlay or teaser is known as a leg.
Odds Adjustment: When betting a parlay, the odds jump in your favor.
Example: Let’s say the Hawks are -175 on the moneyline vs. the Bulls and the Lakers are-200 on the moneyline vs. the Mavericks. Wagering on either the Hawks or Lakers wouldn’t net much profit because both teams are favored. However, if you place the Hawks moneyline in a parlay with the Lakers moneyline, the odds increase to +135, making a betting win much more profitable.
Bet $100 on the Hawks moneyline to win $57.14
Bet $100 on the Lakers moneyline to win $50
Bet $100 on Hawks/Lakers moneyline parlay to win $135
Hedge: A hedge bet is a strategy that involves placing a bet that is placed directly opposing a previous bet.
Sometimes when the first legs of a parlay are successful and one or more outcomes are still undecided, a hedge can be played. This is where the bettor places a second bet that directly opposes one of the original parlay legs. This lessens the value of the original parlay’s profit but guarantees a small profit regardless of the outcome.
Ex. You have placed a three-team moneyline parlay for $100 at +600 odds. You stand to profit $600 from that parlay. The first two teams have won their games and the final leg of your parlay is about to start.
The final leg of your parlay is the Lakers moneyline, originally priced at -200 odds. Their opponent, the Mavericks have +200 odds on their moneyline. You hedge your original parlay by placing $100 on the Mavs moneyline. You stand to profit $200 from your hedge
If the Lakers win, you profit $500 total dollars ($600 original parlay winnings minus $100 Dallas moneyline losses). If the Mavericks win, you profit $100 total dollars ($200 Dallas moneyline winnings minus $100 original parlay losses).
Same Game Parlay: A same game parlay is a combination bet where all the legs of a parlay take place in the same game. This can involve the point spread, point total, moneyline and various team/player props | <urn:uuid:927e3047-d113-48eb-a4b6-8430a6361220> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thegamingsociety.com/the-betting-academy/learn/parlay | 2024-04-15T00:30:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.897393 | 491 |
Every friend group has that one person who keeps to themselves while the others chat away, and the same goes for our furry companions.
A fluffy Maltipoo named Luke had the internet in stitches when his owner captured a moment of him isolating himself from the other dogs, looking like he was passing judgment on them.
In a funny video posted on TikTok by @kiwifruit.luka, the adorable white Maltipoo named Luke is seen perched behind the railing at the top of the stairs, observing his siblings and cousins playing below. The expression on his face clearly shows that he’s not quite entertained by the scene.
The text on the screen humorously reads: “When all the dogs are playing and getting along, except that one who sits alone and judges.”
The caption adds to the humor: “Aw, look at all the dogs—oh wait, where’s Luka.”
According to the post, Luke loves to play, zoom around, mimic a human walking, hide like a cat, munch on fresh produce, and snooze in the most unexpected places he can find. His unique quirks make him a dog worth warning people about, not because he’s mean, but because he’s delightfully odd in a cute way.
His brother Kiwi, a tiny two-and-a-half-year-old teacup Maltipoo weighing a mere 3.5 pounds, is known for always having a messy face, enjoying car rides, “hunting” for critters, sunbathing, treats, and snuggling with his sibling.
Kiwi and Luke both share a love for walks, adventures, their human and furry family members, and accompany their mom on her outings whenever possible.
In the video, Kiwi can be seen playing with their cousins Indo and Daphne, both German shepherd mixes who adore outdoor playtime.
These delightful dogs are described as loyal and gentle giants who enjoy their toys, frisbees, walks, and playful interactions with other dogs.
Pet wellness experts at Wag! note that dogs are social beings, so it’s unusual to see them distancing themselves from their families. When this behavior occurs alongside other changes, it could indicate underlying issues like anxiety, depression, health problems, or simply the effects of aging.
The video quickly captured the hearts of social media users, having over 4,218 views and 322 likes on TikTok.
One user amusingly commented, “He looking down like ‘those peasants.'” | <urn:uuid:61bac0f6-eb27-41a1-af53-f5593eec7d09> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thegoldensclub.com/the-judgemental-maltipoo-has-a-unique-style/ | 2024-04-14T23:17:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.967322 | 535 |

ITALIANY.US, Alexo Wandeal’s newest project, offers insight into the lives of first generation Italian immigrants living in the United States.
He began creating the portraits in 2013, and traveled to Los Angeles, Miami, and New York to find and interview his subjects on location. The exhibition at Bergamot Station Arts Center displays portraits taken in LA with a mixture of fine art and fashion photography. Wandael explained that the inspiration came from the Italians he photographed throughout the years and that he “felt compelled to create this initiative in hearing stories of hearing their aspirations and strong drive to succeed.”
Peroni Azzurro, Italy’s top beer manufacturer collaborated with Wandael as apart of the company’s Storie di Stile campaign. Similar to Wandael’s aesthetics, the campaign highlighted influential Italians and their impact on American style and culture. Taking a more journalistic approach, the majority of the portraits are in black and white paired with a white border and black frame. The lack of color offers a vintage element yet remains simplistic and chic. The variation of angles and viewpoints make each photo uniquely distinct all the while still conveying the theme. Wandael’s architectural background is blended into many of the pieces. The photographs are taken in urban landscapes, which create the different patterns, perspectives and point of view that can be seen in the array of settings.
Some personalities captured in Los Angeles include composer Carlo Silotto, actress Elsabetta Canalis, and GUESS design director Cinzia Simone. This exhibition will be run through June 15 and is open to the public. Wandael’s creative technique combined with the ethnic influence make this project a must-see. | <urn:uuid:e435b4fb-b724-41f9-a54a-912cd47c817d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://theknockturnal.com/alexo-wandael-celebrates-italiany-exhibit/ | 2024-04-14T23:57:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.935627 | 353 |
Gripping, tense, and upsetting to all those with family issues, Custody is a magnificent debut from director Xavier Legrand.
Whatever your expectations are for Divorce, lower them. One would hope that the new HBO series, created by Sharon Horgan, would be as delightfully funny as Catastrophe, Horgan’s other project currently on air. However, Divorce seems to be devoid of any concrete tone. The new Sarah Jessica Parker starring vehicle has next to nothing beyond tired cliches and profanity.
On October 4, executive producers Paul Simms, Sarah Jessica Parker, Sharon Horgan, Alison Benson and Aaron Kaplan with cast members Thomas Haden Church, Talia Balsam, Molly Shannon, Sterling Jerins, Dean Winters and Charlie Kilgore attended the New York premiere of HBO’s Divorce at SVA. | <urn:uuid:f0859f3d-315f-499c-bc0f-247d64193a93> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://theknockturnal.com/tag/divorce/ | 2024-04-14T23:55:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.955877 | 178 |
Communications Ministry has not received any 3R-related reports during Johor twin by-elections so far
JOHOR BARU, Sept 2 — The Communications and Digital Ministry (KKD) has not received any reports on the spread of offensive narratives related to the 3R issues of race, religion, and royalty, particularly on social media, during the Pulai parliamentary and Simpang Jeram state by-elections so far.
Its Deputy Minister, Teo Nie Ching, however, said the special committee, which includes the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and the Royal Malaysia Police, will continue to monitor the situation until the campaign ends
“We will continue to monitor social media platforms with regard to the 3R issues during the campaign. We received 26 complaints during the state elections (last month), which have been referred to the police for further action,” she said.
She was speaking to reporters after visiting the installation site of the Starlink satellite device at Kampung Orang Asli Sungai Temon here today.
Teo added that the current social media campaign is rather lukewarm compared to the state elections.
“This is the challenge for Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN), to draw out voters on Sept 9,” she said when asked to comment on the ‘gloomy’ Johor by-elections compared to the six-state elections.
On another note, queried on the alleged blocking of several portals or websites by MCMC, she responded that the commission does not act arbitrarily to do so, without a valid reason.
She said action is only taken when there are elements of fake news found on the portals.
“We have no intention to stop anyone’s campaign, but if they touch on sensitive 3R issues or fake news which could have a negative impact on the society, MCMC must act upon it,” she said.
She added that the Ministry is also prepared to have dialogues with non-governmental organisations towards a better understanding of the boundaries of freedom of speech and freedom of information. | <urn:uuid:c1519bb8-00d5-471a-8af1-0b95b9c179f3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://theleaders-online.com/communications-ministry-has-not-received-any-3r-related-reports-during-johor-twin-by-elections-so-far/ | 2024-04-14T23:28:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.968672 | 442 |
Pledge to boost HMM box fleet to help 'weakened' THEA stay competitive
With less than a year before Hapag-Lloyd leaves THE Alliance to form the Gemini Cooperation ...
PSA has formed a joint-venture with HMM for container terminal operations in Singapore.
The move further strengthens its competitive grip on the South-east Asia transhipment market.
HMM-PSA Singapore Terminal (HPST) will commence operations before the end of the year, subject to regulatory approvals; PSA and HMM hold 58% and 42% respectively.
“This strategic partnership will offer long-term hubbing certainty to HMM’s fast-expanding global vessel fleet in PSA Singapore,” PSA said today.
“Besides volume and terminal capacity assurance, PSA and HMM will also collaborate in operational technology developments and innovations.”
Jae-hoon Bae, president and CEO of HMM, said: “HMM looks forward to creating greater synergy for our 24,000 teu vessels by securing berth on arrival and providing more reliable services for our customers through the joint venture.”
The new terminal will be another feather in the cap for PSA, which has successfully dominated the South-east Asia transhipment market by forming joint-ventures with shipping lines.
“It certainly strengthens PSA’s position,” said Jonathan Beard, infrastructure advisory partner at Ernst & Young. “It should facilitate PSA-HMM working together more collaboratively on terminal operations, enhanced productivity and services, and it should also help ‘lock-in’ cargo to Singapore in the highly competitive transhipment market.”
PSA already has joint-venture terminals with CMA CGM, Cosco, MSC and ONE, a member of THE shipping alliance alongside HMM. The strategy has left transhipment competitor Port Klang vulnerable, despite generally offering lower handling fees than its Malacca Straits rival.
Independent container shipping consultant HJ Tan said HPST was unlikely to make any immediate impact on market share, however. He told The Loadstar: “Since most of THE Alliance’s transhipment volumes are already handled at PSA, it would have been inconceivable for HMM to switch to Port Klang or Tanjung Pelepas, for example.
“Of the eight Asia-Europe services operated by THEA, all call at PSA, and it is the only one of the three global alliances not to call at Port Klang or Tanjung Pelepas on Asia-Europe services.
“There is therefore no immediate impact on the relative market shares, but it will further solidify PSA’s position with THE Alliance as two of the four members are now JV partners at PSA.
“The bigger battle will be for Evergreen, whose current arrangement at Tanjung Pelepas will be expiring.” | <urn:uuid:8a1fd03e-a586-41f2-9bbd-8505054c84f0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://theloadstar.com/psa-tightens-grip-on-se-asia-transhipment-via-singapore-jv-with-hmm/ | 2024-04-15T00:39:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.94724 | 619 |
How to be your best sustainable self with The Zero Waste People.
This week we welcome to the TLC journal the queen of sustainable goodies, Keele from The Zero Waste People.
At TLC, we always want to be our best sustainable selfs in all aspects of the brand, from our clothing, packaging and of course our day-to-day lives!
Reducing waste is just as important in creating a sustainable future for generations to come, and it may be even more helpful than recycling.
If everyone became more aware of them, collectively we may begin to have a positive impact on our planet and its future.
TAKE A LOOK...
There is plastic all around us, from plastic water bottles, food containers and everything in between.
DID YOU KNOW...
We are consuming plastic every day?! (shocking right) the average person is EATING A CREDIT CARD worth of plastic each week!
"Every year a dinner plate (100,000 tiny pieces of plastic); every decade a lifebuoy. A lifebuoy, in our bodies, every ten years. That much."
I bet you're all wondering how? The main sources are as simple as eating foods packaged in plastic, drinking out of plastic water bottles and consuming seafood.
How can we reduce the plastic we are using?
Start small and build on your changes in your own unique way.
Every little positive choice contributes to a cleaner and safer environment for
ourselves and every animal that inhabits our beautiful earth.
HOW TO START SMALL...
Don’t beat yourself up about it, just do what you can.
Start your journey and build on it. Just take a little time to really think about what you are buying. - One product at a time.
From this simple concept my business The Zero Waste People was born. My very first product grew from my desire to stop the unnecessary use of plastic disposable razors. From the old classic slightly outdated razor I created my own twist. Something that is sustainable durable but also modern and attractive to all age groups.
MY FAVE ECO FRIENDLY SWAP...
My favourite product at the moment is my new line of environmentally friendly silicone containers. They are leak proof, reusable, durable, freezable, microwaveable and best of all oven proof.
Straight from the freezer to the microwave to the oven! - I don’t know anything else on the market like them. The eco friendly community is loving them and so am I!
Being environmentally conscious can be challenging! When you can share your ideas and triumphs with other like minded friends within your community or social networks it's more rewarding then anything!
Remember it’s not all easy. There is lots of trial and error. Some failures, some victories. Eventually you hit the sweet spot.
SOME WAYS TLC IS BEING KINDER TO OUR PLANET...
Within the club we are always finding new ways to be our best and do better and be kinder to our planet. Your packages are shipped in home compostable cornstarch mailer bags and wrapped in eco friendly packaging.
Our products are designed to be cold hand washed, did you know an average washing machine cycle uses about 75 Litres of water!?
Our fabrics and linen dresses. smocks, playsuit and sets are made to order, meaning we aren’t using bulk bolts of fabric that result in wastage and excess! Any off-cuts of our fabric are repurposed into packaging within the factory.
Our individually addressed TLC cards are made from recyclable card stock.
We are always striving for ways to streamline our processes and make our pieces affordable and wearable for seasons to come. | <urn:uuid:1ebf3d44-e663-422a-ba70-8015b3cf743e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thelullabyclub.co/blogs/the-lullaby-club-journal/sustainability-zero-waste-people | 2024-04-14T23:58:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.942089 | 769 |
What? My previous post was in September! Seriously?
I don’t really know what happened. All I can say is that it happened way too fast.
I must confess. Working 60% at night and studying almost full-time is not easy.
Even though working night gives me more flexibility to attend classes at the University of Oslo, most of the time I feel like I’m not delivering what I should. I want to give it all, but my willpower betrays me more than I’d like to admit. Especially when I’m sleep deprived.
After 3 night shifts, for instance, I need at least 24 hours to recover and switch sleeping patterns (which are becoming more and more difficult to change). When working weekdays I must, in addition, attend all the mandatory classes and labs. I had some pretty long days over the last months.
Since the middle of September, I decided to drop all the theory classes. There was no point for me in being there. It was too passive for me. I didn’t get anything out of it and it was impossible to attend everything with my workload. From that point on I just attended the mandatory classes and labs.
Neither biology nor chemistry offered midterm exams. It was all about the final exam. To be honest, I like it that way.
Is it over now? Yes! Thank you, Lord!
Today I had my last exam, chemistry. I think I did well. At least it feels like I did well.
The biology exam was on the 4th (last Friday) and it went OK. I’m not going to get a very good grade, that’s for sure. But given the amount of material, we had to read and the incredibly high number of boring topics covered, I’m glad it’s over regardless the final grade.
So much to tell and my brain is already imploring to shut down for a while… I’m working tonight. So I better get some sleep to make it easier for me later on.
Meanwhile, the winter has been approaching. And I feel so blessed for living in a country where all the 4 seasons are so very different from each other.
We’re running short on sunlight nowadays. Not that cold yet though. Quite mild for the time being, indeed.
Time to take a nap!

The Med Spa of New Smyrna Beach offers personalized Juvéderm fillers to address your specific aesthetic goals.
How Juvéderm Vollure XC Works
Juvéderm Vollure XC utilizes hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar, to add volume and plumpness to targeted areas of the face. Hyaluronic acid is a powerful ingredient that attracts and binds water molecules to keep skin hydrated.

When I read Roberto Bolaño’s novel The Savage Detectives some years ago, I didn’t spend much time wondering who the so-called detectives of the title were. It seemed obvious. They were the book’s off-kilter heroes, Arturo Belano and Ulises Lima, two poetry-drunk youths who venture off in a white Impala into the Sonoran desert to solve the mystery of what happened to the mythical, vanished poet Cesárea Tinajero. Their quest, which also involves them fleeing a gun-wielding pimp, opens and closes the novel. It sandwiches a hefty middle section that patchily reconstructs Belano and Lima’s peregrinations across the globe later in life through interviews with some 40 people who knew them. It was only after I unexpectedly embarked on my own Bolaño-esque odyssey into war, dictatorship, and the world of Spanish-language poetry, years later, that I started to suspect that his two protagonists weren’t the only savage detectives in the book. I began to wonder: Who interviewed all of those people in the middle section? What unseen person(s) had tracked them all down to talk? Now that took savage detective work. Little did I know I would find myself doing something eerily similar and even ask myself, half in jest, if Bolaño was somehow toying me with from beyond the grave. Quite fittingly, my own savage detective story began in the very country where he died—Spain.
In the summer of 2012, I was living in Madrid with my wife. One night my friend Javi invited us over to his apartment to watch a cult Spanish documentary from the 1970s called El Desencanto (The Disenchantment). He didn’t say much else—he didn’t want to ruin it for us—only that the film was about a dead poet and his eccentric family.
El Desencanto is, indeed, about a dead poet and his eccentric family: Leopoldo Panero, his wife, Felicidad Blanc, and their three sons, Juan Luis, Leopoldo María, and Michi. But it is also about so, so much more. Leopoldo Panero was a communist before the Spanish Civil War but joined Francisco Franco’s army in order to survive, and by the end of the conflict he was writing fascist-tinged poetry and would later be celebrated by the dictatorship for his verses. In 1962 he died, leaving behind elegant, resentful, and literature-obsessed Felicidad, along with their three sons, all with rebellious leftist beliefs and high-flown literary aspirations. Ten-plus years later, mom and the boys got together on camera to make the film that left me in state of awe as I sat on Javi’s couch. Not only did they attack their deceased paterfamilias by pulling the family’s dirty laundry out of the closet and into the light, but they did it by speaking in a kind of incendiary poetry while lacing their story with literary allusions that added a dramatic mystique. The Paneros treated their family history as if it were a novel they could collectively rewrite, and certainly they were characters worthy of a novelist’s imagination. Juan Luis, the oldest, was both macho and dandified, modeling himself on his idols Fitzgerald and Hemingway. Leopoldo María, the middle son, was an unstable poetic genius who was constantly in and out of jails and mental institutions. And Michi, the youngest, was a playboy whose literary medium was the overblown stories he told. El Desencanto was about history and myth, family and inheritance, and politics and poetry. I would soon learn that the film had scandalized Spain when it came out in 1976, a year after Franco’s death, launching the Paneros into the realm of legend.
Prisons and asylums, fascism and rebellion, dictatorships and poetic movements—the Panero family’s story read like an unwritten Spanish chapter from Bolaño’s Nazi Literature in the Americas. I walked home that night from Javi’s apartment feeling like my eyebrows had been by singed the Paneros’ singular strangeness. I also felt like a literary wormhole had somehow opened up between Bolaño’s fictional universe and my own real one.
Wondering if this was a case of art imitating life—even as life for me would soon start imitating art—I turned to Google to see what I might dig up on the Paneros and Bolaño. Sure enough, the Chilean had fictionalized Leopoldo María as a character in two books I had already read: as a magnetic, nameless poet-genius living in an insane asylum in 2666, and as arguably the same character in The Savage Detectives, but named Pelayo Barrendoáin, surrounded by fans at the Madrid Book Fair “who feed on my madness to nourish their madness.” He also appeared without a mask in another Bolaño book. In the posthumous novel Woes of the True Policeman, a gay poet who idolizes Leopoldo María refers to him admiringly as “the Great Faggot of All Sorrows,” and his brother Juan Luis appears in a list under the category of “Worst houseguest.” These intertextual discoveries only made the story of the Paneros that I had seen in El Desencanto pulse with a stronger glow, leading me to feel like I had stumbled upon a non-fiction Bolaño book written by real life instead of him.
During the months after seeing El Desencanto, I developed an obsession with the Paneros, and to make a long story very short, three years later I began writing a collective biography of the family. The project required me to track down and interview all the people I could who had known them in order to trace the arcs of their lives. In other words, adopting the methodology of the middle section of The Savage Detectives as I chased stories of the Paneros, I became a savage detective.
By the time I started work on my book, I was living in Los Angeles, so I went back to Spain as much as was feasible. My research visits were very intense. Most of the people I sought out to interview were in Madrid, where the Paneros had spent the bulk of their lives. Although I had already lived there and thought I knew the city moderately well, it became a different, seemingly infinite place when infused with the rich history of the family. Every door I knocked on, every bar I sat in, every new phone number I called, unboxed a hidden world of stories. I interviewed friends and relatives and ex-lovers, editors and critics, gallerists and a ghostwriter, celebrated writers and film directors, historians and journalists, a Borges biographer, Federico García Lorca’s niece, a best-selling cookbook author, two former mayors of small cities, and the Spanish ambassador to Honduras. And, of course, I interviewed the literary kin of Arturo Belano and Ulises Lima: poets—lots and lots of poets.
Over cafés con leche and condensation-beaded cañas (small glasses of beers), I probed everyone I interviewed delicately but insistently, trying to understand the thoughts and actions of five individuals who, like Bolaño characters, seemed to think literature was more real than life itself. The memories poured out, like a choral narrative for me to parse into one unified, cohesive tale. I learned the squalid details of one of the Panero sons’ alcoholic decline; I learned things about the sexual predilections of the other two. Combining several testimonies, I was able to recreate the 1976 premiere of El Desencanto. I listened to recollections about the Spanish Civil War, the Franco Dictatorship, and Spain’s precarious transition to democracy. The literary world in Spain is small and familial, so nearly everyone I interviewed knew everyone else I interviewed. Often, they insulted each other. During the long conversations I frequently ended up getting drunk when I didn’t mean to and went to sleep very late when I had to get up early the next day. Sometimes I even inadvertently got drunk early, like when a retired lawyer who had played a role in crafting Spain’s 1978 constitution welcomed me into his apartment on a scorching July morning with a bottle of champagne that he popped open for us to share.
People’s trust in me during this process was shocking. I was a blank page and the interviews filled me with the words of others, sometimes very sad ones. The novelistic richness of the experience outweighed the physical and emotional fatigue, especially the moments that felt not stranger than fiction but the stuff of fiction: the psychiatrist who only vaguely understood why we were meeting yet treated me to an enormous meal of fried fish, then invited me up to his apartment and seemed intent on keeping me there for the rest of the day; or the famous writer and former communist secret agent in Spain during the Franco dictatorship, now in his 80s, who has his own brand of anti-aging elixir.
I sometimes regaled my editor with these stories, which she called “the book behind the book.” My experiences also felt like the book inside of books. When I visited Juan Luis Panero’s widow in a town on the Costa Brava, an hour from Blanes, where Bolaño lived in his final years, I felt like I had entered the end of his novel Distant Star. Likewise, my research into Leopoldo Panero’s bitter public feud with Pablo Neruda put me in mind of the legendary poet’s appearance in By Night in Chile. But the proliferation of literary wormholes went beyond the work of Bolaño. The Panero family’s trip to Alexandria, Egypt in the 1950s simmered with the romance of Lawrence Durrell’s novel Justine, which they modeled their trip after. When I visited the family’s ancestral home in the small town of Astorga, the courtyard echoed Giorgio Bassani’s The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, also a Panero family favorite. This was the magic of the Paneros—their literary obsessions seemed to deconstruct the fabric of reality and stitch it back together with literature as its seams. Bolaño and the Paneros were similar that way: Books became the raw material for crafting a life rather than the other way around.
And maybe I was that way too, since at a certain point during the writing of my book things seemed to turn very meta, as though I had entered a novel and become an unwitting character.
I first noticed this soon after I interviewed the Spanish novelist Javier Marías about his friendship with Michi Panero. I particularly adore two Marías novels, A Heart So White and Thus Bad Begins, both of which concern molten secrets that inexorably rise to the surface. As if on cue, after my conversation with Marías, several of the subsequent interviews I conducted yielded secrets about him. Nothing shattering, but enough for each person to go off the record. Was I being sucked into a María-esque narrative scenario? No. I was clearly being excessively fanciful imagining that life was imitating art in such a way. One person in Spain I talked to about this said I had a classic case of “Panero Paranoia,” meaning their compulsive literariness was becoming my own. This paranoia only increased, however, when I emailed Enrique Vila-Matas.
Like Javier Marías, Vila-Matas was good friends with Michi Panero. He mentions Michi in his novel Never Any End to Paris, and he dedicated his novel Lejos de Veracruz to him. The book is about the travails of three brothers who are a mashup of sorts of the Paneros and another famous Spanish literary family, the Goytisolos. I corresponded with Vila-Matas about some of his memories of Michi, and I also sent him a passage from Michi’s unpublished partial memoir to ask if what he said about Vila-Matas and his family was accurate. (The answer: kind of. Vila-Matas called it a “sublimation” of the truth.) Soon after, a writer for a magazine in Argentina who knew Vila-Matas wrote me to say he’d told her I was writing a novel about the Panero family, and she wanted to quote me for an article. I corrected her that I was writing a biography and answered her questions. A month or so later, a reporter for the Spanish newspaper El Pais wrote me because Vila-Matas had told her that I was making a movie about the Paneros. Once again, I offered a correction then answered questions. What would be the next inquiry, I wondered, someone saying that Vila-Matas had told them that I was composing a stage musical about the Paneros?
This was when it became clear to me that, yes, I was in an Enrique Vila-Matas novel. The playful absurdity, the maniacal whims of a writer, the blurring of the real and the unreal—it was vintage Vila-Matas. Or wait: Was it pure Bolaño? Was I in a novel by Roberto Bolaño (who was friends with Vila-Matas) in which a stand-in for Vila-Matas messed with the head of an American writer trying to write a book about a Spanish literary family with a fascist past?
Of course, the answer was much simpler than all of that: I was simply deep, deep inside the process of writing my own book, which finally came to a close six years after I first saw El Desencanto. A telling development had occurred. I was no longer the sole detective asking questions. Now new ones were appearing and tracking me down to ask me questions. When at last I turned in my finished manuscript after reading thousands of pages of books and documents and conducting nearly 100 interviews, I felt vastly satisfied but also vastly empty. The literary madness of the Paneros had nourished my literary madness, and I already missed them.
During the fraught, lonely period between finishing my book and its publication—which I imagined being akin to wandering lost in the Sonoran desert—I met my wife one day for lunch. We ate sitting on a bench overlooking the Pacific Ocean. After we finished, my wife departed, leaving me to contemplate the sea. Overcome by a sudden sleepiness, I laid down on the bench and dozed off. A half hour later, my own snoring woke me up. A huddle of people standing nearby glanced at me. I thought of something the middle son, Leopoldo María Panero, used to say near the end of his life, when he would leave the mental institution in the Canary Islands where he lived during the day and take naps on public benches: I’m not a bum, I’m a poet! I wanted to yell out the same thing. Instead, I lay back down and stared up at the clear blue sky. I wasn’t a poet; I never had been. I was a detective, and for the time being my savage work was done.

Former Speaker Dimeji Bankole has pledged to tackle the worrisome youth unemployment in Ogun state which he said is a time bomb both to the state and the country.
Bankole who is the governorship candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP) in the Gateway state for the March 2 polls, added that there is a link between the ever growing unemployment rate and rising crimes in Ogun and the rest of the country.
The former number four citizen on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) made this known to reporters in Ota area of the state during his tour, pledging that if elected, his administration would create mass employment for thousands of jobless graduates who could not find gainful employment after school.
Bankole said: “One thing that everyone keeps complaining about is lack of jobs and opportunities for their children. My party is formed to address that challenge.

“Ogun people are not interested in where the governor comes from, they want to know if he has the capacity to create jobs for the children who remain idle even after graduating from higher institutions. That is what our party promises: jobs, jobs, jobs for everyone.”
Bankole, who also rued the deplorable state of roads in Ogun West Senatorial district, promised to fix them in order to maximize the economic potentials of the zone, stressing he would not tamper with funds meant for the development of Local Governments in the state. | <urn:uuid:92e5152a-2ad5-4b7e-9b15-6e91fdef826c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thenationonlineng.net/bankole-pledges-tackle-youth-unemployment-ogun/ | 2024-04-15T00:26:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.97721 | 307 |
Most Confusing Intersection In Lackawanna
The driving in Buffalo isn't that bad. Most of us know this. We do not have to deal with the traffic that other major cities do, and you can get from the southtowns to the northtowns in 20-25 minutes, no problem, even during drive time.
But that doesn't mean that driving in Western New York is not frustrating. The countless stoplights. The massive potholes that vehicles have to routinely avoid (on major roads), and the fact there are some downright confusing roads and intersections.
I live in South Buffalo at the moment, so I often drive through the City of Buffalo, Lackawanna and West Seneca.
If you want to get from South Buffalo to Hamburg or Orchard Park, the straightest route is down Abbott Road, but if you want to bypass the intersection of Ridge and Abbott Roads, you can take South Shore Boulevard to Shamokin and eventually to Martin, to get back to Abbott Road.
It's the shortcut that many who live in Lackawanna and South Buffalo know well, but it also comes with headaches when coming to the intersection at Shamokin Drive and Martin Road.
It's a very weird intersection because Shamokin curves up to Martin, which remains straight. It looks like an intersection that should either have a stoplight, or at least have the vehicles on Martin have no stop sign, and Shamokin vehicles have to stop and yield the right of way.
But instead, it's a four-way stop, and it's hard to tell who got to the intersection first, which is always the first tiebreaker for yielding the right of way.
Then, another common problem is drivers take so long to drive past the intersection that cars can remain stuck there for a while, since cars going each direction on Martin take advantage.
The intersection is usually busy, too. The Lackawanna High School is just up the road, and Martin connects South Park and Abbott.
It probably should have a stoplight, just because of the unique layout of the intersection.

For those looking for treatment options, it’s important to know that not all treatment programs are the same. It’s important you explore your different options before making a decision about which type of program is best for you and your needs. In this post, we’ll talk about the best resources to have when looking for an addiction treatment program.
Best Resources to Have When Looking for an Addiction Treatment Program
If you have insurance coverage and a payment plan, it can help you find an affordable treatment program. If you have insurance, an addiction professional who is familiar with your plan can help find a treatment center that fits into your coverage and/or payment plan. If you don’t have insurance, this will be another important factor for you to consider when choosing a provider.
Referrals From Friends and Family
Friends and family who have experience with addiction treatment can be excellent resources for you as well. If you know someone who has been through a treatment program, they can offer you advice, resources, and tips that could help make the decision-making process easier for you. This could be a valuable asset to have if you don’t know much about addiction or treatment programs.
A Licensed Addiction Professional
Licensed addiction professionals are trained in how to deal with the different ways you can treat addiction, as well as the types of programs that are available to help you get better. It’s important to find someone who is familiar with your particular situation and needs so that they can steer you in the right direction and provide you with resources that will meet your needs.
Peer Support Groups and Al-Anon/Alateen
Not only can peer support groups help you learn more about addiction, but they can also provide you with resources and a sense of community when it comes to dealing with the disease of addiction. They can also be a tremendous asset for those who might not know where else to turn for help or who are struggling in their role as a parent, spouse, or loved one of someone in active addiction.
The Internet has many reputable addiction sites that can offer you help in finding appropriate treatment. These sites can offer you services such as referral services, lists of treatment facilities, and information about the different programs that are available.
The Counseling Directory
The counseling directory is a great resource for finding a licensed addiction counselor who is located near you. Many sites offer phone numbers and contact information for the recommended counselors in their area. This is a helpful tool if you don’t live close to a state that requires counselors to be licensed or if you are looking for an individual who can provide therapy over the phone or online.
Other Treatment Professionals
In addition to the resources listed above, treatment professionals such as doctors and nurses can also be valuable resources for you. If you are going through withdrawal or dealing with another immediate medical issue, they can treat your symptoms while making sure you have a safe place to stay as you get help with your addiction. They can also be a good source of information regarding different treatment programs and options that will help you at various stages of addiction recovery.
The Family Support Center
As we’ve discussed in other blogs, the Family Support Center can be a great place to begin treatment. If you have young children and they are experiencing problems with addiction, they can also be a resource that can help you and your children as you address your own addiction. It is important that you know how to help your children as well as how to get help for yourself.
Inpatient Rehab and Residential Treatment Centers
Residential treatment centers can be an excellent resource for both inpatient and outpatient treatment. They provide a safe, drug-free place for you to stay while learning and practicing the recovery skills you need to help break your addiction. They also feature experienced professionals who can monitor your progress and give you the support you need to get better.
Know your local area and take some time to get to know the resources in your city. Addiction is a national problem, but each state has different laws, resources, and treatment facilities that might be unique. For example, not all states require counselors to be licensed or certified.
Knowing where you can find help in your local area can make a big difference when trying to find a treatment program that fits your needs. In conclusion, if you are looking for an addiction treatment program, it is important for you to know that there are many resources out there—a number of which have been listed in this post. It is also important to know what to look for in a treatment program so that you can find the one that’s right for you and your unique situation.

Dr. Strange is a marvel character that just like other characters has some superpowers which allow him to skilfully create barriers to conjure his enemies. He is a part of the MCU universe and was launched in the year 2016 and was a big hit. Like every other Marvel character, he too is given a back story of how he become Dr. Strange from a regular person. He too was written by Stan Lee who said that the original idea was by Steve Ditko. The Marvel in the movie started from the comics, hence the original character being written way back in time. It was written in July 1963. When the movie was launched, the creators mentioned how the book was received when launched in the early 1960s as people called the artists “using heads.” i.e. meaning high on drugs. Because they had similar experiences when they were high on drugs.
How Many Dr. Strange Movies Will Be There?
To talk about the creation of Dr. Strange, we see that he used to be a normal regular surgeon who unfortunately gets into a car accident and loses his ability to operate anymore due to lost limbs and hence doesn’t remain the same, so to find a higher calling he gets under a mystical and spiritual instructor who then teaches him the magic which then helps him become the dr. Strange.
Dr. Strange (2016)
The first Dr. Strange movie was released by MCU in 2016. The role was played by Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Stephen Strange. He is portrayed as an egoistic neurosurgeon who in an accident loses his ability to perform surgeries. To heal himself, he tries all sorts of surgeries but fails at them time and time again. Even when his fellow doctor tries to help him overcome the same, he is unable to and vaguely pursues different surgeries before finally finding an ancient one that helps him find powers as Dr. Strange.
He finds an ancient one through Jonathan Pangborn who magically regained use of his immovable legs. He is taken under Mordo, because of whom ancient one reluctantly trains him. Strange’s egoism reminds her of Caecilius, one of her other pupils who were now after destroying the earth. He also studies in a library guarded by master wong. Strange learns about Kamar- Taj from Pangborn, who has an access to the dimensions outside of earth that protects it from outside threats. The shield is generated from three buildings called sanctums which are located in different parts of the world, New York, Hong Kong, and London. These people are conventionally called scorers and Pangborn is one of them, although he only chose to direct his energy into walking again. Strange finds a mystical book that Caecilius stole pages from and reads about the dark dimension which corrupted Caecilius. He learns about the eye of agamotto which helps in bending time. Kaecilius then attacks the London sanctum to weaken the protection of the earth. The zealots attack the New York sanctum but somehow strange keeps them off and himself gets injured, almost on the brink of death but teleports himself into hospital where he is saved by palmer. Upon returning due to some sort of wrong understanding of complete matter, strange tells Mordo, who worked in association with the ancient one and because of whom the ancient one accepted strange, that the ancient one has been drawing powers from the dark dimension to keep her life as long as now. Mordo becomes disillusioned by this and against the ancient one. Upon fighting in the mirror dimension, Kaecilius then mortally injures an ancient one and escapes to Hong Kong. Before dying, the ancient one warns strangely of Caecilius telling him to bend rules and be with Mordo to defeat Caecilius. When both of them return to Hong Kong, they find the sanctum destroyed and wong dead alongside a dark dimension engulfing the earth whole but at this point, strange uses the eye and bends time to save wong and undo the damage, he then sets a time loop and enters the dark dimension where Dormammu kills him repeatedly but due to the time loop he comes alive again every time. Tired of this Dormammu signs a deal with strange to leave earth alone in return for him breaking the loop. Henceforth the loop breaks and the dark dimension returns back along with Caecilius and his zealots.
Mordo and strange then renounce their departure. Strange pursues further studies and takes an apartment in New York while Mordo renounces due to mortification by a strange and ancient one upon defying nature’s law. In the end, we see that strange agrees to rejoin to help Thor.

Dr. Strange In a Multiverse of Madness (May 2022)
This sequel of doctor strange (2016) is set to release in May of 2022. Although the co-director Scott Derrickson has claimed that he had wished to release the movie in 2016 but then he only returned as a director when Cumberbatch confirmed his return. Although due to creative differences Derrickson soon stepped down as director, with Waldron and Raimi joining next. Originally the film was set to release a lot earlier but due to COVID, the filming was halted alongside the postponing of the release date.
Available in cinemas from May 2022.
Dr. Strange Cast
• Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Stephen Strange.
He claimed that the role resonated with him because it had to do with understanding spirituality when he joined the ancient one and he had been into spirituality since he taught once at a Tibetan Buddhist school. Cumberbatch mentioned that he took great care of his physical movements in scenes of casting spells as they had to be very precise and fine also because the audience took great notice of it. The scene wouldn’t look real if the movements weren’t as precise as they were. The movements were perfected by the dancer Jay funk.
• Chiwetel Ejiofor as Karl Mordo.
While being cast for this role, Ejiofor mentioned that this role was quite tough for him and said that irrespective it couldn’t be nailed in any way. However, the director Derrickson felt that nobody could do it better than Ejiofor. And called his decision of changing the character from “white to black” correct. While the original character of Mordo’s written was villainous but with the casting of Ejiofor, the role was made to be a little more heroic keeping in mind the cast. After being disillusioned, the character of Mordo originally turns villainous instead of being so nice and still.
• Rachel McAdams as Christian Palmer.
Palmer was the one who saved strange after he was on the brink of death and so he teleports himself to the hospital and was saved by palmer. Palmer also plays an extensive role of a good friend and hence Rachel McAdams is suited for this role. Also, originally in the comics, Palmer is a heroic night nurse, the part which is skipped in the movie. Also, it was important because the production crew agreed that nobody could’ve portrayed it better than McAdams.
• Benedict Wong as Wong.
He is a mystic and protects Kamar-taj’s most valuable books and relics. That’s why strange bends the time because the importance of him being alive is undefined after he was killed when Caecilius attacks the Hong Kong sanctum. There’s also a racial stereotype associated with the character, although it is unwanted and not as much accepted either but sticking to the original storyline, it was kept in the movie too.
• Mads Mikkelsen as Caecilius.
Mads was suited best because the character development of Caecilius was as such where he breaks away from his original aura of being with ancient one and then parting away and getting into the dark dimension thus, getting his villainous character and someone precise was needed was this role. His make-up every day took about 3-4 hours.
• Tilda Swinton as Ancient One.
This role had to be played by a perfect female character who could portray it correctly from starting, where she refuses to admit strangely but then accepts him eventually to teaches him tricks, until the last moment where she’s about to die but before tells strange to use the eye to bend time and sync with Mordo. This was a single powerful woman character in the whole movie and hence the role carried a lot of responsibility who better than Swinton could’ve portrayed it as its best.
As the movie plays, the interest in the character grows and after a wait of such a long time, MCU is launching the sequel to Dr. Strange (2016) which will be in cinemas since May 2022 and it keeps the audience curious to watch to further know how the story progresses with each character and Dr. Strange being the lead.

Silverback Development lands $90M construction loan for Gramercy condo
Och-Ziff and Michael Dell’s MSD Partners provided financing
Josh Schuster’s Silverback Development lined up a $90 million construction loan for its Gramercy Park condominium development.
Och-Ziff Capital Management Group and Michael Dell’s MSD Partners teamed up to provide the financing for the 13-story project at 359 Second Avenue, the developer told The Real Deal.
Schuster said that the development will aim to keep apartments priced below $3 million and noted it sits across the street from a city playground, meaning its access to light and air should be protected for the foreseeable future.
“The importance for us is speed-to-market and to take advantage of the forever light and air,” he said.
Adi Chugh and Matthew Shatz at Maverick Commercial Properties arranged the debt.
Schuster said demolition is already under way on the site, and he’ll be looking for approval from the state Attorney General’s office to start marketing condos sometime in the first half of next year.
The condo building, designed by architect Issac Stern, is planned to have either 55 or 53 units with a total sellout of roughly $150 million, Schuster said.
Schuster, the former DHA Capital principal who launched Silverback three years ago, teamed up with the property owner at 359 Second Avenue in 2017 to develop the project.
Earlier this year, Silverback teamed up with AEW Capital Management to buy an under-construction multifamily development project in Long Island City for $40 million. | <urn:uuid:9e7b9f9c-2859-4e74-8858-b6341023693b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://therealdeal.com/new-york/2019/06/25/silverback-development-lands-90m-construction-loan-for-gramercy-condo/ | 2024-04-14T22:57:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.92368 | 341 |
Dan’s Auto Tire Pressure Gauge
Why do you need the Best Tire Pressure Gauge?
You should always carry the best tire pressure gauge with you in your vehicle in case you need to use it to give an accurate reading. If you are scouring the internet for the best tire gauge review, you are at the right place.
As we all know, it is important to keep your tires at the right pressure range because you will drive with more stability, increase traction, get better mileage, and make your tires last longer. It is critical that you routinely check the pressure of your tires to make sure you can prevent anything hazards down the road. If your tires are overinflated, you risk the chance of them popping, which could result in a fatal accident.
If your tires are low on pressure, it may well be a precursor to a flat tire, which could also be hazardous on the road. You want to make sure you are using the best tire pressure gauge when taking a reading because there is nothing worse than an inaccurate reading, which could turn into a risky situation. In general, a tire pressure gauge should be accurate, durable, and flexible.
You should be using a tire pressure gauge that has a chuck that is versatile and fits into all valve stems without leaking any air. It should be flexible and versatile enough to bend around to reach those hard-to-reach spots. It should also be able to take a beating and not crack when dropped. Since it will likely be in your car, it will get tossed around quite a bit. Please read below for the best tire gauge review and figure out the right tire pressure gauge for you.
Best Tire Pressure Gauge Reviews
- Campbell Hausfeld Tire Inflator with Gauge
- Accutire Digital Tire Pressure Gauge
- Dan’s Auto Tire Pressure Gauge (Top Pick)
- Tekton 5941 Digital Tire Gauge
- Exwell Digital Tire Pressure Gauge
1. Campbell Hausfeld MP6000 Tire Inflator with Gauge
Campbell Hausfeld is the best tire pressure gauge if you are looking for an inflator, a chuck, and a gauge all in one system. It is quite intuitive to use and comes ready out of the box. If you want to use the inflator gun, you will need to hook it up to an air supply.
You can purchase extensions and adaptors as well in case the air supply is far away or if the tire inflator doesn’t fit. After you connect to an air supply, you will need to insert the chuck into the valve stem of your tire. Keep in mind that it is not necessary to be connected to an air supply in order to take a reading.
The PSI range is from 10 to 150 which is enough for everything from bicycle tires to monster truck tires. Once you insert the chuck the PSI needle should jump to the correct pressure reading. If you want to increase the tire pressure, simply squeeze the inflator to let some air in and slowly watch the needle rise. When you are done simply unhook the chuck. The PSI reading should still remain there unless you press the reset button which will release the pressure inside the gauge.
We really like the accuracy of this gauge and in particular, appreciate the fact that it is an analog tire pressure gauge. We think the best tire pressure gauge is analog because you sacrifice a bit of accuracy for peace of mind and durability. Non-digital gauges almost never break down just like watches since there are no electronics inside. Although the reading on this gauge is not as accurate as that on a digital gauge, we really don’t think you need to read tire pressure to the nearest decimal point.
That information is not useful but having a strong durable gauge that won’t break or malfunction is more important. We find it a bit annoying that when you pump air into your tires the gauge needle will bounce around a bit and then stabilize. It is a minor issue and does not detract from the overall quality of this product.
2. Accutire MS-4021B Digital Tire Pressure Gauge
Accutire makes the best tire pressure gauge if you are looking for a digital gauge. Digital tire pressure gauges are great in that they are known to be incredibly precise. They are also usually small and quite handy.
In terms of accuracy, this tire pressure gauge is accurate within 0.05 PSI. The Accutire tire pressure gauge is running through batteries (three A76 watch batteries), which you be to replace every half year or so. Also, the gauge automatically turns off when it is inactive for thirty seconds or more. There is some solid craftsmanship around this gadget and has a rubber encasing around it to protect it from being dropped. The gauge is also angled in a way such that it can easily fit into any valve stem.
Using the Accutire Pressure Gauge is quite easy and comes ready out of the box. It does not need to be calibrated so all you need to do is to turn it on and take a reading but sticking it into the valve stem of a tire. The PSI range is 5 to 150 and goes in 0.5 PSI increments, which is enough to test the pressure of any tire. The LCD display gives you a digital reading and we find that it rarely gives you a misreading.
However, every now and then it does malfunction, so if you want something that is always reliable, get an analog tire pressure gauge. In terms of durability, this tire pressure gauge has a rock-solid build and is virtually unbreakable through normal wear and tear. You can put it in the glove compartment without worrying about it breaking by getting tossed and turned in the car. All in all, it is the best tire pressure gauge for those who want an extremely accurate reading.
3. Dan’s Auto Tire Pressure Gauge
If you are looking for the best tire pressure gauge, look no further. Dan’s Auto liquid-filled tire pressure gauge is the leader in this industry. It is made with precision craftsmanship and sound engineering. First of all, the case is enclosed with rubber and made of stainless steel. When you pick it up, you know it is a quality product and not made with cheap materials.
It comes with an extra long 17-inch hose that can swivel around 360 degrees and reach those hard-to-get-to-stem valves. The angled chuck also helps you mount the device into tire valves that are 2 to 2.5 inches. The tire pressure gauge is extremely accurate as it is rated to 60 PSI and accurate to ANSI. We have never experienced a malfunction or a misreading on this gadget.
The downside of owning Dan’s Auto is that it is only rated to 60 psi. For those who need to take the pressure of huge trucks and 18-wheelers, 60 psi may not be enough. Since most people drive normal cars/bikes, Dan compensates for this limitation by being really good at taking an accurate readings. The dial face is 2.5 inches and filled with liquid and is completely analog, meaning it does not require a battery or anything electrical to operate.
It also comes with a cool wall mount and a small pen gauge to double-check your readings. Dan’s Auto is the brand used in many professional auto shops and is a name that you can trust. They have a lifetime warranty on their products and are backed by many professionals in the auto repair industry. It is the best tire pressure gauge if you have a few extra bucks to spare.
4. Tekton 5941 Digital Tire Gauge
If you are looking for the best digital tire pressure gauge. We really like the visibility of the display screen. It brightens up at low light settings and at night, which makes it very handy for on-the-road usage. The Tekton 5941 is pretty accurate, so you end up eliminating most of the guesswork. It displays units to the tenth decimal point, so you don’t have to round up or down like with an analog tire pressure gauge.
The Tekton 5941 is quite easy to use. You just simply press a button to turn it on and off. You then select the desired unit to display. There are four: PSI, Bar, Kilo Pascals, and density. The nozzle of this device fits over all sorts of valve stems and is very easy to attach.
We would say the Tekton is the best digital tire pressure gauge if you are looking for a solid ergonomic design. The unit feels like it has a solid build and is made with sophisticated engineering. The handle fits comfortably around your hands and has a non-slip surface. And because it looks and feels sleek, we generally feel good about using it to take accurate measurements. This is probably the placebo effect, but it makes us feel better, which is what counts.
5. Exwell Digital Tire Pressure Gauge
Exwell makes the best digital tire pressure gauge if you want something that has a wide range and is accurate. This particular gauge reads between 5 to 150 PSI, which is wider than most of its competitors. It can be used for anything from bicycles to large commercial trucks. You can also display the reading in other units if needed.
The Exwell Digital Tire Pressure Gauge is very accurate. We would say this is as close to a professional tire pressure gauge as it gets. It is often used in a professional setting and is accurate to about 99% at a temperature of around 25 degrees C. We feel completely comfortable using this on large construction vehicles and big trucks. It is highly reliable and accurate. The only problem is that it is kind of large so not exactly portable.
We also like the Exwell for its long range. It has an extended tube so that you can attach it to hard-to-reach valves. There is also a backlit display for easy reading regardless of the time of day. The Exwell also has an air nozzle that forms a plug. This allows you to easily connect an inflatable pump to it. So essentially, this device can be both an inflator and a pressure reader. | <urn:uuid:c54de9f2-44db-4ceb-a80a-9bfa680c768b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thereviewgurus.com/reviews/best-tire-pressure-gauge/ | 2024-04-14T23:47:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.958523 | 2,095 |
UPDATE: Some details of this story changed after we published this story:
- The service is now launching in October.
- The delivery fee will start at $2.50, or it will be free with a monthly subscription.
- Delivery will be available from a total of three restaurants.
Original post follows:
Kiwibot announced today that it has partnered with foodservice company Sodexo to bring robot food delivery to students, faculty and staff at the University of Denver.
Starting today, a fleet of 15 Kiwibots will be available to deliver food from Monday to Friday between the hours of 8 a.m and 6 p.m., with deliveries costing a flat $2.50 per order. Delivery will start with one campus restaurant before expanding to four more food options by mid-October. Kiwibot is also working with the city of Denver to enable off-campus deliveries at some point in October, as well.
There are a few things worth noting about this deal. First, this is Kiwi’s second bite at the apple when it comes to college delivery. Last year, the company delivered to UC Berkeley and had big plans to expand to a number of different schools across the U.S. Those plans never came to fruition, however and were abandoned. One reason that growth might not have happened last year was that Kiwibot was going through student groups, and not partnering with a school’s administration.
This time around, Kiwibot has partnered with Sodexo, a huge company that provides foodservice to colleges across the U.S. This partnership brings with it more legitimacy for Kiwibot, and also provides an entrée, so to speak, with college administrations and restaurants at potential campuses.
That Kiwibot has partnered with Sodexo is in itself interesting because Sodexo has an existing partnership with Kiwi rival, Starship, for robot deliveries on various colleges like George Mason University. The difference, however, is that Starship’s program requires users to download the Starship app. Kiwibot’s solution is more of a B2B play, and will integrate with a food ordering app from Sodexo. So it could provide Kiwibot with direct access to a greater number of Sodexo-run properties, should the partnership grow.
Kiwibot have been on a bit of a, err, roll lately. In July the company launched a restaurant delivery program in the city of San Jose, CA. Kiwibot is also in the middle of an equity crowdfunding campaign, which aims to raise $1 million. | <urn:uuid:6a5867a0-05b3-4aaa-a74b-7f95a2b29ce3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thespoon.tech/kiwibot-partners-with-sodexo-to-roll-out-delivery-robots-at-the-university-of-denver/ | 2024-04-15T01:00:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.969461 | 533 |

School dances and annual yearbooks are known to bring fun and solidify memories for many at Gabrielino High School. Yet, these benefits do not come to fruition for students who choose to pass on these joys simply because they cannot afford them. Low-income students should never be denied a yearbook or admission into a school dance because they do not have enough money to pay. Instead, Ash-a-wut and ASB should implement payment policies that accommodate low-income students.
According to Gabrielino’s 2017-2018 School Accountability Report Card, 62.1 percent of students are categorized as “socioeconomically disadvantaged.” The number is estimated to be around the same this year. While these students do receive free or reduced prices for school lunches, standardized testing, and college applications, there is no system where price adjustments are made for purchases like school dances and yearbooks.
A yearbook started out at $85 in the beginning of this school year and ended with a final price of $105. For students without ASB or ASB Gold designation, the Homecoming Dance ticket price was $30. Gabfest tickets were $23. Prom tickets cost an exclusive price, starting at $105 in the first week of sales and ending at $125 during the last week. No discounts were given to those with ASB and ASB Gold during GabFest and Prom. Because of these prices, students wishing to go chose to miss instead.
“I chose not to attend [Prom] because of the price, if it was a little cheaper, I definitely would have attended,” stated senior Alejandro Pasten.
The money gained in profit through these yearbooks and ads allows for Ash-a-wut to buy new equipment and to improve yearbook quality for upcoming years. The profits made from ASB allow for poster making supply purchases, club transportation, and other expenses. However, high prices are still economically unsavvy.
“High prices do not necessarily equate to greater profits. In many cases, high prices simply persuade customers to do without the product or service,” wrote small business columnist C. Taylor of the Houston Chronicle. “This is especially true for low-income customers who cannot afford to pay a premium.”
Ash-a-wut and ASB should adopt sliding scale pricing, an improved system which establishes a set range for the price of a yearbook or ticket and allows for students to pay what they can afford. Low-income students would pay the amounts in the lower range while students who are not socioeconomically disadvantaged would be encouraged to pay in the upper range, allowing them to sponsor or help a peer without as much means.
“By offering sliding scale prices, you expand your customer base to all income ranges, while still maximizing profits made from sales to customers who can afford the full price,” Taylor wrote.
Adopting sliding scale pricing is beneficial for everyone. Ash-a-wut and ASB could maximize profit, high income-students can charitably support their peers and, perhaps most importantly, low-income students could attend dances and obtain yearbooks without worrying about finances. | <urn:uuid:65a9e27b-dd8b-4dfc-b099-0165921d2e2c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thetongvatimes.com/5751/uncategorized/high-prices-burden-low-income-students/ | 2024-04-15T00:46:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.973611 | 656 |

The Bachelor girls are rarely seen looking anything but flawless on the show.
And it turns out they have producers and Channel 10 to thank for that, who happily supply them with whatever beauty treatments their hearts desire throughout filming.
According to our insider, producers ask each of the stars to write down what treatments they need, within reason obv, and then they try and make it happen.
But one stunner apparently went a bit OTT with her shopping list, leading to a load of drama.
‘Most girls only wrote 1-2 things down, mainly tanning and nails, but Kailtyn [Hoppe] had a huge list of what she wanted done,’ our informant said.
‘Her list included at least 10 things, from lashes, eyebrows, nails, hair extensions, tan, facials, injectables, hair, makeup and more.’
To be honest, can we really blame a girl for wanting to keep up appearances on-camera? Especially when it’s coming out of Channel 10’s budget!
Without a doubt we would be Kaitlyn in that situation.
Despite loving life (and looking beaut), Kaitlyn’s list apparently rubbed mechanical engineer Roxi Kenny up the wrong way. This is why Roxi was screaming Kaitlyn was ‘fake and plastic’ during their infamous fight during last Thursday’s cocktail party.
Which, to be honest, makes a lot of sense now.

Kia gives first look at new Sorento
After weeks of teaser images, Kia has finally released full images of the all-new Sorento set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month.
The brand is keeping mum on the seven-seater’s engine choices, but the images show the new vehicle will be boxier in appearance than the current third-gen model on sale.
Aimed to look more refined and tough, it has a wider version of Kia’s tiger nose front grille plus new “tiger eye” LED daytime running lights.

Spinions Christmas Party
This slot game comes from Quickspin and was launched on December 1st, 2021. It is expected to see a lot of Christmas themed slots being launched around Nov-Dec every year for obvious reasons. Spinions Christmas Party sets out to be the best Christmas party yet.
With full on Christmas theming, the slot is merry, positive, fun and can payout pretty well too (RTP of 96.05%). The highlight feature of the game is the unlimited free spins that are triggered when two Spinion elves land on the reels during any normal game spin.
This slot is particularly good for playing on mobile since it is fully mobile optimized and comes in a standard 5×3 reel set that fits mobile devices just right. There are 25 fixed paylines and it is really easy to learn and play the game. Spinions is a very standard 5-reel slot with an intuitive control interface. You can win a maximum of 1876 times your stake amount. The minimum and maximum stake levels are 0.10-100 coins respectively.
Royal Potato was also launched on December 1st 2021 and it comes as a collaborative effort between Print Studios and Relax Gaming. The theme is particularly interesting and authentic. It is almost refreshing to see a December released slot that doesn’t play on the usual Christmas theme.
Here, you are welcomed into a world of Potatoes and it is much more complex and hierarchical than you would ever imagine. The best part about this game is the massive max payout of 30,000x your stake amount. The return to player percentage is also pretty high at 96.31%. Don’t brush this game of as a novelty item because despite its silly and fun theme, it packs some serious features and payout potential.
Some of the key highlights include SuperSpinner multipliers, sticky growing wilds and the Royal Levy feature that can result in surprising random cash prizes. It’s all about growing the potato to its full size and cashing in.
Christmas Big Bass Bonanza
Big Bass Bonanza is arguably one of the most recognized slots in the online casino industry today. You’ll find this game in nearly any online casino worth its salt. The game was developed by Pragmatic Play and the Christmas rendition of the game is also brought to you by Pragmatic Play.
The developer has been in the news for releasing the second instalment in the ONE Blackjack series. Christmas Big Bass Bonanza was launched on 2nd December 2021. It encompasses all the things we love about the Iconic slot game Big Bass Bonanza in a Christmas theming. This game has an RTP of 94.62% and a max win potential of 2100 times your stake amount.
The gameplay is a mix of retro and modern slot elements. The base mode itself is fast-paced and action packed, but when any of the special features are triggered, things get amped up to the next level. 5 reels and 10 paylines makes the game simply to understand and easy to play. Bet anywhere between 0.10 to 100 coins per spin. Take advantage of free spins, the wild feature and free spins.
Moon Princess Christmas Kingdom
Moon Princess Christmas Kingdom is a Play’n GO slot that went live on 2nd December, 2021. It features 5 reels, 5 rows and the paylines work on a cluster basis and not traditional paylines. The max you can win is 15,000 times your stake. The stake per spin maybe adjusted anywhere between 0.20-100 coins. Moon Princess Christmas Kingdom is basically the crowd favourite slot game ‘Moon Princess’ with a few bells and whistles added to appeal to merry makers. Essentially, Moon Princess Christmas Kingdom is a hybrid between two games – Moon Princess and Sailor Moon.
The theme is inspired by Moon Princess whereas the game mechanics and features are reminiscent of Sailor Moon. If you like Japanese anime, you may really enjoy the characters of Moon Princess Christmas Kingdom. The slot has a RTP of 96.2%. Some of the special features include win multipliers, girl power (randomly triggered), trinity feature and free spins. The Girl Power bonus round is especially unique where you get to pick 1 of 3 princesses and depending on who you pick, special modifications to symbols are made to help boost your wins. | <urn:uuid:8b0bd18f-e58b-4238-94bd-8155e7a30a87> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thewestnews.com/slot-titles-released-in-november-2021/ | 2024-04-14T23:08:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.957398 | 1,117 |
