All the love for Rothy’s tennis gear made with Evian bottles + more local style scoop
The tennis-inspired collection features repurposed plastic Evian water bottles from last year's US Open.
Plus, Zenni debuts its first recycled glasses and Aritzia opens a new store in the South Bay.
Rothy's + Evian = a collab made at the U.S. Open.
Game, set, match indeed! Just in time for the 2022 U.S. Open tennis tourney comes the limited-edition capsule from San Francisco–based shoe brand Rothy's and Evian water. The line—featuring a range of tennis-inspired goods including footwear for men and women, gear and accessories—was made with 72,000(ish) repurposed Evian bottles collected from last year's event in NY. Not surprising, given both brands share a mission to reduce plastic waste.
So now on to the good stuff…the stuff. The pieces are made from Evian bottles blended with other recycled plastic bottles, which are turned into soft, washable thread that Rothy's used to knit each item into shape. We're loving the courtside meets circular production thing, and we want all the pieces in the collection; our favorites include the slip-ons, visor and duffel bag. Get 'em while they're hot, folks, as they're selling out fast. P.S. Go Serena!

Yep, every pair purchased supports the Wyland Foundation, a nonprofit whose mission is to promote, protect and preserve the planet's oceans and marine life.
Keeping with the theme, the various color options (neutral earth tones to blue gradients) are H20 inspired. As are the names of the glasses themselves, i.e. Baltic, Bering and Caspian. The collection is available with the full range of optical, sunglass and blue-light lenses. Prices start at $40 for adults and $36 for kids.

2 rows of cabinets? Good? Bad?
Im in the final details of organizing my new garage with 12 foot ceilings. I have cabinets mounted in many places at what is more or less a normal cabinet height. I have room to mount another row above those cabinets for more long-term storage.
Besides it probably looking a little strange, does anyone have experience that would tell you this is either a good or a bad idea ? They would be tall enough and I am short enough that I would definitely need a small ladder to access them. With them painted (white) to blend into the walls, Id probably prefer them covered vs shelves that would end up dusty & suck up some light.

Ken Avidor produces a little film remembering Walter W. Liggett. Liggett was a muckraking journalist in the Twin Cities in the 30s. Liggett was shot down in front of his family; his wife identified the killer as Isadore Blumenthal: Kid Cann.
Update: Spot posted this late last night and wasn't very descriptive. Be sure to read Ken Avidor's comments.
Further update: Here's the Wikipedia entry for Kid Cann. He is buried in a cemetery not far from where Spot lived, and still lives, and Spot remembers the day of the funeral quite clearly, a lot of big black cars and men in homburgs:
After his release from prison, he moved to Miami Beach, Florida with his friend Meyer Lansky. They reportedly continued to make money through illegal activities, though they changed tack, focusing instead on stock market fraud, money laundering, and questionable real-estate dealings. He frequently visited his family and friends in Minnesota and declared to a Minneapolis reporter in 1976 that he had recently turned down an offer to write his memoirs. He said, "I have nothing to say, really." He died in Minneapolis of heart disease in the summer of 1981. After the Kaddish was recited at the graveside by a rabbi from Temple Israel (see Reform Judaism) he was interred at the Adath Yeshurun Jewish Cemetery in Edina, Minnesota. | <urn:uuid:a0a83e40-6ab8-4cdf-b777-9b5a158c95ae> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thecuckingstool.blogspot.com/2008/03/gangland-murder.html | 2024-04-25T08:52:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.983306 | 296 |

The Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi has finalised discussions with investors from Netherland to attract a grant of 25 million Euros for the construction of 28 priority bridges in Nigeria.
Spokesperson to the Minister, Barr. Orji Uchenna announced the development in a statement issued on Friday, February 24, 2024.
According to him, “the Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi has finalised discussions with investors from Netherland to attract a grant of 25 million Euros for the construction of priority bridges in Nigeria.
“This was disclosed after a meeting of the Minister of Works with a team of investors from Netherland led by the Nigerian Ambassador to Netherland, His Excellency Oluremi Oliyide”.
The statement noted that the Minister assured the Netherland investors of the positive disposition of the Federal Government towards accessing international interventions from donor agencies and other development partners to address the infrastructural deficits inhibiting economic development in Nigeria.
He said that an increase in partnerships and collaborations was necessary to support the funding of the critical sector of the economy for the promotion of robust and equitable economic growth.
In the same vein, he assured the investors that once due diligence was carried out, he would present the proposal to Mr. President for approval:
“We have a number of projects that we can do together. But I think the best thing to do is to conclude this one, which is a grant, then get the process started, and at the point of agreement and project selection, we shall refer to Mr. President for his approval”, Umahi said.
In his earlier remarks, Oluremi Oliyide said the team was in his office to discuss the offer of a grant of 25 million Euros by Janson Bridging International for investment in road infrastructure in Nigeria.
According to him, ‘Janson Bridging is the largest modular bridge manufacturing and bridging company in continental Europe and the largest bridge rental company in the world’.
He promised to assist in fast-tracking the agreement implementation process on the side of the company as soon as all formalisations were concluded.
On his part, a member of the team and International Business Consultant, Eric Okunde, said the investors were ready with the proposal and that they were technically prepared to work with the Federal Ministry of Works in the mapping and design of the projects as well as formulation of the template for the execution of the project. | <urn:uuid:826c76a4-9bcc-4269-916b-ba9713c08348> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thefact.ng/works-ministry-secures-e25m-grant-for-construction-of-28-bridges/ | 2024-04-25T08:42:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.974414 | 507 |

Technology has revolutionized the gaming industry, bringing about great changes and developments. From mobile gaming to artificial intelligence and virtual reality, the effect of technology on gaming cannot be overstated. In this article, we will analyze the game-changing effects of technology in these areas.
Mobile Gaming: A Technological Game-Changer
Mobile gaming has undoubtedly revolutionized the gaming industry, becoming a technological game-changer. With the rapid developments in smartphone technology, gaming has become more accessible and convenient than ever. One of the key benefits of mobile gaming is its portability.
Unlike traditional gaming consoles or PCs, mobile games like casino games can be played anytime, anywhere, as long as you have your smartphone.

Almost everyone owns a smartphone nowadays, and with a vast array of games available in app stores, people of all ages and backgrounds can find games that cater to their interests and preferences. This has democratized gaming, breaking down barriers and making it a mainstream form of entertainment.
Exploring the Power of Artificial Intelligence in Gaming
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the gaming industry, enhancing gameplay experiences and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in virtual worlds. AI technology has been integrated into games, from creating intelligent non-player characters (NPCs) to enhancing game mechanics and providing personalized experiences for players.
One of the most significant applications of AI in gaming is the development of intelligent NPCs. These computer-controlled characters can exhibit human-like behavior, making gameplay more immersive and challenging. AI algorithms enable NPCs to adapt to player actions, learn from their behavior, and make decisions based on the game’s context. This creates dynamic and unpredictable gameplay scenarios, keeping players engaged and entertained.
AI also plays a crucial role in improving game mechanics. Through machine learning algorithms, AI can analyze vast amounts of data and optimize game elements such as enemy behavior, level design, and difficulty balancing. This ensures that games are challenging yet enjoyable, providing players with advances in a balanced and rewarding experience.
The Rise of Virtual Reality in Gaming
Virtual reality (VR) has taken gaming to a whole new level. With VR headsets, players can immerse themselves in virtual worlds and interact with the game environment more realistically. VR technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we play games, offering a truly immersive and interactive experience.
VR gaming has gained traction recently, with major companies investing in VR technology and game development. The introduction of VR-specific games and experiences has further fueled its popularity. As technology evolves, we can expect more innovative and immersive VR games.
In conclusion, technology has had a profound impact on the gaming industry. Mobile gaming has made games more accessible and convenient, while AI has enhanced the intelligence and realism of game characters. Virtual reality has increased gaming, offering immersive and interactive experiences. As technology advances, we can expect further innovations and advancements in the gaming industry. | <urn:uuid:b2e106e4-37b8-42b3-95bd-33c0ae76d7be> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thegameroof.com/the-impact-of-technology-on-the-gaming-industry/ | 2024-04-25T07:49:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.949663 | 654 |

I think you misunderstood me, I didn't say anything about when I'm editing the video, I was saying I wanted a real time not a random time, which means I don't want to record maybe 25-46 seconds or cause it's random.
For instance when playing the game this happens:
After I press F2 and go in and watch my clip this is what I get:
and I wanted to record all of it!

Pappeneheimer, an artist working on the border of the physical-digital and a founding member of the Manifest.AR group (click the link and read its incredible manifesto, well worth it), created Proxy, 5-WM2A — an AR experience to be consumed by all guests in attendance.
Through guests’ screens, the space of the museum was transformed. Loud colours and wild light aberrations covered the field of sight. The perspective of a 90s club kid was offered up to help celebrate the night.
WHY WE’RE WATCHING:
It’s fun. The principle of a museum sanctioned, mind-altering drug is cheeky and silly and showcases the digital layers of our everyday experience.
Best of all is the description of this drug-fuelled institutional experience as intentionally “dissociative”. Like digital Ketamine therapy, it provided fantastical virtual add-ons to help guests “dissociate from its iconic Breuer location and transition to a new building.”
New Lexicons for Embodiment
EYES ON: Barbara Sanchez Kane’s NYC exhibit, New Lexicons for Embodiment
Barbara Sanchez Kane’s solo exhibit, New Lexicons for Embodiment at NYC’s Kurimanzutto gallery navigates the “intertwined worlds of fashion and art”, exploring the “clothed body as the interphase with which we experience the world.”
The work employs traditional fashion practices such as weaving, pattern making, and molding to produce wearable sculptures that investigate the craft of clothing production and how that craft enables the performance of identity.
WHY WE’RE WATCHING:
“The thing is that these clothes are unstable; they are in a constant state of transformation. As soon as one speaks of them, they’re already turning into something else. Yes, mutant clothes. No.” - Luis Felipe Fabre
To us, Sanchez Kane’s work acts as a remarkable example of the collision of art and fashion.
Physical works that claim to be on the border of fashion and art are too often just clothes with a sculptural edge. Sometimes it feels like the “art” label is used to justify the extreme discomfort of a worn item or an item’s altogether complete lack of functionality.
This feels different. Sanchez’s objects exist between plausible wearability and pure sculpture all within one viewing experience. Part of that comes from Sanchez’s repurposing of traditional objects in the “garments.” With the integration of these objects (the belts are an obvious example), one can just as easily see those individual objects themselves as one can their assemblage as a garment.
This repurposing and recontextualizing of everyday objects into garments made us think about what the equivalent might look like in the digital world. What is a digital readymade? Can this approach to fashion-making find its equal in the digital?
Online Philosophy of the Self
EYES ON: Kyle McDonald’s Going Public
Following a 2013 Twitter update that allowed anyone to receive direct messages to their Twitter accounts from anyone, the artist Kyle McDonlald decided to make use of the new feature to explore the bounds of online identity.
Through the project “Going Public”, he decided to put his own identity in the hands of the public by allowing all direct messages sent to his account to be automatically published on his profile as if they came from him.
On the experiment, McDonald writes, “There’s a strange connection between our “self” and our body. The connection is assumed, because they’re difficult to separate. But the only thing connecting our identity to our online persona is the knowledge of a password. What happens when we break that connection and dilute our online identity?”
In decentralizing his online identity, McDonald digs into the nature of that identity.
WHY WE’RE WATCHING:
When first learning of this project, our immediate reaction was fear — fear for what people might have written in McDonald’s direct messages. It’s a ballsy move to give out control of your online presentation; it’s a move that could cause offense or embarrassment.
Our knee-jerk response—the fear of being misrepresented or misunderstood—brings to light some fundamental characteristics of the online self, like how much it’s founded on other people’s view of it.
In a much less serious, more internet way, “Going Public” experiments with modern philosophy’s blockbuster question of the Self. | <urn:uuid:d4b7032a-5ded-460a-b5eb-2d68c12c3551> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thelosti.substack.com/p/eyes-on-culture-025 | 2024-04-25T07:41:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.937924 | 1,033 |

By Keith Sharp
To combat the boredom of life on the Six Nations Reserve, located between Hamilton and Brantford Ontario, young Alexander Kenneth McLeod took up playing guitar. It was a skill he came by honestly as his cousin and both grandparents are all players.
And even though his high school peer group were into rap and hip hop, McLeod forged his own identity listening to Nirvana and Rage Against The Machine. “The moment I heard `Nevermind’ by Nirvana, that was it for me,” explained the former resident of Moose Factory Ontario (located on the southern shores of Hudson’s Bay) who has been a resident of the Six Nations Reserve since 1988.
As his guitar skills developed, A.K (as he is known professionally) developed an affinity for Southern U.S blues and British blues-rock citing an equal connection with both the likes of Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Stevie Ray Vaughan as well as British bands like Bad Company and The Cult. “I am a big Paul Rodgers fan,”McLeod notes, “I am trying to develop a singing style like his.”
Yet developing a reputation as a budding blues rock guitar musician in Canada hasn’t been an easy task for McLeod. With current trends being towards pop-rock, R&B-Rap and Country, he is fully aware that aside from the likes of established players like Colin James, David Wilcox, David Gogo and Colin Linden the existing Canadian blues market is a hard scene to crack.
McLeod made some headway by releasing his `Spirtual Fire’ album which was a mix of traditional blues and southern rock but even he acknowledges the release had all the foibles of a debut release. “I admit it was a little unfocused,” he allows. “It’s the typical record of a blues guitar player trying to also be a singer. But I have been working on my vocals, I am trying to get that strong, British rock type voice and I think that is going to come across a lot stronger on my new album which I have just finished recording, people are going to hear a lot more dynamics in my voice.”
By his own admission, McLeod suffered through a spell of being lost in the business. “It was hard to put a band together, to get gigs and just to put my name out there,” he admitted. “But a year ago, I got connected with the Darren Ross Agency (in Hamilton) and they have been a great help. They look after the business side of things and just let me work on the creative side.”
Working with another agency client, Jace Martin (who served as producer on the new project), McLeod is about to release a second record in September, tentatively titled “The Truth About Me” which he feels is a reflection of the British blues rock style he is keen to develop.
And what is even more encouraging for McLeod is that he is getting gigs. He recently opened for The Trews at a festival staged at the Six Nations Reserve near Brantford August 13th, performed at the Aborigine Day festival in Winnipeg and on Saturday August 26th, will be appearing at Timmins Kayak Challenge Festival on a bill with Honeymoon Suite and Helix.

Having a green thumb isn’t always easy, especially when your plants are showing signs of distress. According to the EPA, Americans spend over $47 billion dollars each year on lawn and garden care. To make sure you’re getting the most out of your money and efforts, it’s important to know how to troubleshoot common plant problems like yellowing leaves or wilting.
In this article we’ll discuss some steps you can take to diagnose and fix these issues so you can get back to enjoying your plants!
Identify the Problem
Trying to figure out what’s wrong with your plant? Let’s start by identifying the issue.
Analyzing the cause of yellowing or wilting leaves is the first step in troubleshooting. Taking a closer look at the plant can help you identify potential problems and determine if they’re related to environmental factors or pests.
You can also check for signs of nutrient deficiency, such as yellowing between leaf veins or brown patches, which may indicate a lack of nitrogen or other essential elements.
Identifying solutions depends on recognizing the underlying cause, so it’s important to analyze all possible causes before coming up with a solution. With some careful observation and analysis, you’ll be able to find an effective fix for whatever problem your plant is facing.
To make sure that insects aren’t causing any issues, it’s time to move onto checking for them next.
Check for Insects
You should inspect your plant for signs of insects or diseases. Begin by looking for signs of pests, such as holes in the leaves or insect droppings.
Then, check the leaves and stems for signs of damage, like discoloration or wilting. If you find any evidence that your plant may have been attacked by an insect, take action to remove the pest and treat the affected area with a safe but effective pesticide.
Look for signs of pests or diseases
Check for evidence of pests or diseases on your plants – it’s quick and easy, so don’t be put off by the thought of it. Identifying symptoms and troubleshooting issues can help you figure out the underlying cause of plant problems like yellowing leaves, wilting, or other signs of distress.
Take a close look at each leaf and stem for any unusual discolorations or markings that could indicate disease. Check for any insects lurking around the plant too – aphids, mites, mealybugs, and more can all cause damage to plants if left unchecked.
When inspecting leaves and stems, look for signs such as holes in leaves or stem damage caused by chewing insects. These types of damage may also indicate an infestation issue that needs addressing quickly to prevent further harm from coming to your plant.
Taking these steps together will help you get closer to understanding what’s causing your plants’ trouble so you can take appropriate action to fix it.
Inspect leaves and stems for signs of damage
Take a close look at each leaf and stem for any signs of damage that could indicate disease or pest infestation. This will help you investigate pests to determine if they’re the cause of your plant’s problem.
Inspect the undersides, including veins and edges, for any changes in color or texture. Check the stems for any galls or bumps that could be host to a pest.
Additionally, inspect the roots for spots or other discoloration which may alert you to root diseases like nematodes.
Make sure to pay attention to not only foliage, but also branches, twigs and bark: cuts, holes or other irregularity can mean pests have infiltrated your plant.
Once you’ve completed your inspection of leaves and stems, you’ll be able to analyze the environment around your plants more accurately and determine whether further action needs to be taken.
Analyze the Environment
Evaluating your plant’s environment is an important step towards finding a solution; in fact, up to 80% of plant problems can be solved by making changes to the environment. To do this, pay attention to the climate surrounding your plant and monitor any temperature fluctuations. | Climate Change | Temperature Fluctuation |
Sunlight exposure | Humidity Levels | |
Air flow | Soil Moisture | |
Analyzing these environmental factors may help you discover why your plants are not thriving. Making adjustments to things like sunlight exposure or air flow can have a huge impact on the overall health of your plants and their ability to fight off disease. When making changes, don’t forget to adjust your watering schedule accordingly – this will ensure that you give them what they need for optimal growth without overwatering them. |
Adjust Watering Schedule
Adjusting your watering schedule is key for keeping your plants healthy – just make sure you don’t overdo it!
It’s important to determine how often and how much water your particular species of plant needs. Generally, houseplants should be watered when the soil is dry to the touch, usually every 7-10 days, depending on pot size and type of soil used.
The quality of the water you use is also important; if it’s too hard or contains too many minerals, it can cause leaf yellowing or wilting. If possible, use rainwater or distilled water instead of tap water.
When in doubt about your watering frequency and quality, test the soil – this will help you get an accurate reading of whether or not your plants need more water.
Test the Soil
After adjusting the watering schedule, it’s now time to test the soil. This is important because a plant’s health and its ability to absorb water and nutrients depends on the type of soil it is planted in.
To ensure that your plants are getting the nutrition they need, here are some soil testing methods to consider:
- pH Test: A pH test measures acidity or alkalinity in the soil. A pH level between 6 and 7 is considered neutral; levels below 6 are acidic, while levels above 7 are alkaline.
- Nutrient Balance Test: This tests for available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, sulfur, magnesium, and micronutrients that may be lacking from your soil. You can purchase DIY kits from most garden centers or have a sample analyzed by a professional lab for more accurate results.
- Soil Texture Test: The texture of your soil determines how much moisture it can absorb and hold onto for plants to use. To check this out you’ll need to take a small handful of wetted soil and squeeze it into a ball before breaking apart with your fingers – if it crumbles easily then you have sandy loam but if not then there’s too little sand content for proper drainage.
- Organic Matter Content Test: Organic matter makes up about 5% of most soils; this needs to be tested as organic matter helps improve structure and increases nutrient availability for plants. You can do this yourself using an at-home kit or send off samples to an agricultural extension service laboratory for more precise measurements.
- Soil Biology Test: Soil microorganisms help break down organic matter into minerals which become readily available forms of nutrients in your soil so monitoring them will help determine whether they’re present in healthy numbers or not. Again, these tests can be done at home or sent off to a lab depending on the accuracy desired (this includes both bacteria/fungi tests).
Testing the soil will give you insight into what kind of environment you’re working with so that any problems with yellowing leaves or wilting plants can be addressed properly before investing in fertilizers and pesticides – so make sure you don’t skip this step!
Investigate Fertilizers and Pesticides
Discovering the right fertilizers and pesticides to use in your garden can be a fun way to get the most out of your plants!
When troubleshooting plant problems, such as yellowing leaves or wilting, it’s important to consider the type of fertilizers and pesticides that are used.
Using natural fertilizers can help ensure that your plants get the necessary nutrients they need without overloading them with potentially dangerous chemicals.
Organic pesticides may also be preferable when dealing with pests because they’re less toxic and don’t have long lasting effects on the environment.
Pruning damaged branches and leaves can also help improve air circulation throughout the plant, which may be beneficial for restoring its health.
Prune Damaged Branches and Leaves
By pruning damaged branches and leaves, you can give your plants the breath of fresh air they need to start thriving again. It’s important to research what works best for your particular plant since pruning techniques depend on the plant species and the soil type in which it is growing. Here are three key steps to successful pruning:
- Carefully inspect each branch or leaf for signs of damage.
- Make sure any cuts are clean and made at a 45-degree angle away from the main stem or trunk of the plant.
- Use sterilized tools so as not to spread disease across other parts of the plant.
Taking these steps will help ensure that your pruning efforts are effective in restoring vitality to your plants. With proper care and monitoring, you can prevent disease from taking hold while helping them reach their full potential growth and health potentials.
Monitor for Disease
Once you’ve pruned your plant, it’s important to keep an eye out for any signs of disease that may have been missed.
Some of the common diseases that can affect plants include bacterial leaf blight, powdery mildew, and rust.
It’s important to make sure your plant isn’t placed in an environment that will increase its stress levels as this can make it more susceptible to developing a disease.
Be sure to provide proper support and reduce stress by avoiding overcrowding or placing it in direct sunlight for too long.
Keeping the leaves dry also helps reduce the risk of developing a fungal infection.
By monitoring your plant closely and taking steps to reduce stress, you’ll be able to identify any potential issues quickly and take action before it becomes a serious problem.
By doing this, you’ll be able to provide your plant with the best care possible so it stays healthy and vibrant – which is key when troubleshooting yellowing leaves or wilting problems.
Provide Proper Lighting Conditions
Providing your plants with the right lighting conditions is essential for keeping them healthy and vibrant, so make sure you check in on their needs regularly! This means installing the proper lights for your plants, as well as buying bulbs that are appropriate for each type of plant.
Different types of plants require different levels of light, so be sure to research what kind of lighting they need and buy accordingly. Even if you don’t have much natural light coming into your home or garden area, there are many artificial lighting options available that can mimic natural sunlight.
Depending on the size and scope of your indoor garden, you may even want to consider investing in specialized grow lights designed specifically for growing plants indoors. With careful attention to providing proper lighting conditions and some patience, healthy growth should follow!
Preparing the temperature also plays a key role in helping your plants thrive – let’s take a look at how you can adjust temperature accordingly.
Maintaining the right temperature for your plants is important to ensure their success. Failure to do so can quickly lead to stunted growth and unhealthy foliage. When it comes to temperature, two key factors should be taken into consideration: fertilizing needs and watering needs.
Fertilizing needs should be adjusted depending on the season, as temperatures naturally fluctuate with the changing seasons. Warmer temperatures require more frequent fertilizer applications, while cooler temperatures necessitate less frequent fertilizing.
Additionally, watering needs are also affected by temperature fluctuations. During warmer months, plants will need to be watered more frequently than they would during cooler months.
A few other ways of adjusting temperature include utilizing a greenhouse in colder climates, planting near a south-facing wall or window for additional warmth, covering plants with blankets or frost cloths in cold weather, and installing fans or circulation systems for increased airflow.
By understanding these basic principles and taking the time to adjust your plant’s environment accordingly, you can create an optimal climate that will ensure your plant’s health and success. With proper care and maintenance of the right temperature conditions, you can reduce stress on your plants and promote healthier growth—the perfect transition into our next section about reducing stress.
When it comes to reducing stress on your plants, there are a few things you need to remember. Firstly, avoid transplanting or repotting during hot weather – this can cause undue stress on the plant and possibly prevent it from reaching its full potential.
Secondly, don’t over-fertilize or overwater – this can also cause unnecessary stress that could be detrimental to the health of the plant.
Taking these simple steps will help keep your plants healthy and thriving!
Avoid transplanting or repotting during hot weather
Avoid transplanting or repotting your plants in hot weather, as it can cause shock and lead to dehydration. For instance, my neighbor’s cactus plant lost its vibrant green color after being moved from one pot to another on a very hot day. Plant stress during hot weather can be caused by several factors:
- Transplant shock – when roots are disturbed too much during transplanting or repotting, root growth is slowed, and the new environment is hard for the plant to adjust to.
- Root shock – occurs when a plant is planted too deeply in the soil or when roots are exposed to air for an extended period, resulting in wilting and yellowing leaves.
- Heat damage – high temperatures can cause excessive evaporation from soil leading to dryness and dehydration.
- Drying winds – warm, dry winds lead to increased water loss through transpiration, which causes wilted leaves.
- Sunburn – direct sunlight on foliage can cause sunburned spots on leaves which will eventually turn yellow or brown.
It’s essential to avoid over-fertilization or overwatering as well. Both can also contribute to stress in plants during hot weather.
Avoid over-fertilization or overwatering
Avoid over-fertilization or overwatering during hot weather. Be careful not to overdo it! Over-fertilization can cause foliage to burn or yellow, while overwatering can lead to root rot and other plant diseases. Both of these risks should be avoided by only fertilizing and watering plants according to the recommended guidelines.
Frequent monitoring and regular soil checks are important for determining when your plants need more water or fertilizer. This should help you avoid any dangerous buildup of either one. Keeping weeds out of a garden is also essential for reducing potential competition for resources such as nutrients, water, and light. This competition could otherwise prevent healthy growth in your plants.
Taking care of weeds is an important part of keeping your plants healthy – don’t let them get out of control!
Weed management involves soil preparation, mulching, tilling, and hand-weeding. The key is to stop the weed plant’s life cycle before it can reproduce.
Proper soil management helps prevent pest infestations that can damage or kill young plants. You should be aware of what type of weeds are present in your area and take action to reduce their impact on your garden.
Mulching around seedlings will help keep moisture in the soil while simultaneously blocking sunlight from reaching any germinating weed seeds. Tilling will also help break up compacted soils and expose weed roots so they can be removed with ease.
Hand-weeding is a labor-intensive process, but it allows you to remove individual weeds without damaging any other plants nearby. By taking proper steps for weed prevention, you’ll free up valuable resources like light, water, and nutrients for your desired plants instead!
Additionally, these measures can protect from predators that may want to feast on vulnerable young vegetation.
Protect from Predators
Predators are lurking everywhere, so it’s important to take steps to protect your plants from their hungry gaze.
Wildlife proofing is a must for any outdoor garden or landscape. This includes using fences, chicken wire, netting, and other physical barriers. If the area has large predators like deer or elk, then you’ll want to use higher fencing with barbed wire on top.
It’s also important to prune back any branches that could be used as access points and inspect the perimeter regularly. Regularly scanning for signs of wildlife intrusions such as tracks or droppings can help identify potential threats before they become major issues.
When protecting against smaller pests like birds and small mammals, netting is often the best solution as it will keep these creatures out without causing them harm. Additionally, repellent sprays and ultrasonic devices may provide further deterrence against wildlife intrusion into your garden.
Taking these preventative measures will go a long way towards ensuring that your plants stay safe from predators’ hungry gazes! To provide proper support for vulnerable plants…
You can help your plants thrive by providing them with the proper support they need to grow and flourish. This includes looking for signs of any symptoms that may indicate an issue, such as yellowing leaves or wilting foliage.
To assess potential nutrient deficiencies, it’s important to properly analyze the soil condition of the environment in which your plant is planted. This will also help you understand what natural fertilizers and supplements are necessary for optimal growth.
Additionally, be sure to provide adequate physical support to young plants or those with heavy blooms. When done correctly, these steps can ensure that your plants get all the nutrients they need and remain healthy despite environmental stressors.
By understanding a plant’s natural habitat and its needs, you can create an environment where it can thrive without reaching its limits and suffering from nutrient deficiency or other issues. Researching a plant’s native climate will help you identify any adjustments that might be needed in order to provide it with optimal conditions for growth.
Research the Plant’s Natural Habitat
Now that you’ve provided helpful support to the individual, it’s time to take the next step: researching the plant’s natural habitat.
By understanding where the plant comes from and what type of environment it’s accustomed to, you can get a better idea of how to help troubleshoot any issues. To do this, start by looking into its native climate and soil fertility requirements.
It’s important to get a sense of the ideal environmental conditions for this particular species in order to create an environment which will be most conducive for growth. Pay attention not only to temperature and humidity levels but also soil acidity or alkalinity, as these factors can affect nutrient absorption and availability.
Once you understand what type of environment it needs in order to thrive, you can begin troubleshooting with much more accuracy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to use a combination of fertilizers and pesticides?
Combining fertilizers and pesticides can be a tricky process, but with the right knowledge you can ensure your plants get all the nutrients they need.
Understanding the correct ratios of fertilizer to soil nutrition is key for proper plant growth. It’s important to remember that even though using both may seem like a good solution, it could end up causing more harm than good if not done correctly.
With an understanding of how each works together, you’ll be able to give your plants just what they need – no more, no less!
How do I know if the soil has been adequately tested?
You can determine if the soil has been adequately tested by looking at watering levels and soil nutrition. Start by checking how often you’re watering your plants, as this’ll help you assess if the soil’s getting an adequate amount of moisture.
Then, look into the nutrient content of the soil to make sure it contains all the essential minerals that plants need for healthy growth. If either of these two factors isn’t balanced, then your soil may need to be tested in order to ensure optimal plant health.
What is the best way to reduce stress on a plant?
You can dramatically reduce the stress on your plant by making some simple adjustments to its environment. Start by ensuring that you’re providing it with the right amount of light for its needs.
Many plants thrive in a bright, sunny spot, but some may require less direct sunlight or even more shade than usual. Adjusting your watering schedule is also important.
Overwatering can cause issues such as root rot and yellowing leaves, while underwatering can lead to wilting and dryness. Check the soil often and water when it’s dry to about one inch below the surface.
By making these lighting and watering adjustments, you’ll be able to significantly reduce stress on your plant and help keep it looking healthy!
How often should I prune damaged branches and leaves?
You should practice preventative pruning when it comes to damaged branches and leaves. Prune away any dead, diseased or broken branches and leaves at least once a month.
Be sure not to over-prune, as this can cause more stress on the plant than necessary. Also, pay attention to your fertilizer ratios. Too much nitrogen can cause yellowing of leaves and wilting.
When done correctly, pruning will help keep your plants healthy and thriving!
What can I do to protect my plants from predators?
Protecting your plants from predators is key to keeping them safe and healthy.
Stray animals, such as cats and dogs, may be drawn to your garden, so consider building a fence or other physical barrier around the perimeter.
Pest control can also help. Consider using natural repellents like garlic spray or cayenne pepper to keep pests away, or use traps to catch any unwanted intruders.
With these protective measures in place, you’ll be able to enjoy vibrant blooms without worry for years to come!
You’ve come a long way in troubleshooting your plant’s problems. With dedication and perseverance, you can overcome any issue that arises.
Take, for example, the tomato plants in the local community garden. They faced wilting leaves due to an overabundance of weeds. But with a little extra care and attention, they were able to pull through and produce juicy tomatoes for the entire neighborhood to enjoy.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your plants stay healthy and happy for years to come. | <urn:uuid:5087c62a-329d-438f-8027-b35a829d4d30> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://theplantguardian.com/plant-problems-yellowing-leaves-wilting-etc/ | 2024-04-25T08:58:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.939067 | 4,709 |
At which time do you wake up in the morning?
I get up at around 6.30. But, in reality, I already spend a lot of the night awake, mostly listening to audiobooks – I have become a true addict.
What is the first thing you do?
Trying not to check my emails… I have four children, so I have breakfast with them. But they are all so big now that they don’t need my help, we just chat.
Which news sites do you read (if any) in the morning?
I read a lot – major French, British and Swedish outlets as those are countries I have a history with, plus, of course, European sources such as Politico – and then I listen to Belgian local news on radio for at least an hour every morning. I like to keep up with what is happening directly around me, not only in the Brussels bubble.
At which time do you go into the office (or start working remotely)?
I go to the office every day now, following the transition period after COVID, and I am so happy to be back. I love my office. But I start emailing before I get there, at the latest on the tram in.
How many times a day do you check emails?
Constantly! I am glued to my PC/phone!
When is your first meeting?
Any time from 8.30 onwards. I have a few Scandinavian clients and they like to start early. On the other side of the spectrum, I also have US customers, so the days are long. And I attend a lot of networking events in the evening.
How do you plan your meetings across the week?
They are spread according to the needs of the clients, one week is often very different from the next. When we have physical meetings in Brussels they typically take a full day, with working lunches and dinners too.
What is the split between internal and external meetings?
I run a small ship so we have very few internal meetings. Which I think is great, it means focusing on pure client work and contents.
How do you follow news development between meetings?
I check throughout, discreetly or at a bathroom break (!).
How do you organize your calendar?
As per above, it really depends on the clients and the deadlines. But we have big, regular, reports to submit and for those I plan many months ahead, with different deadlines along the way.
How do you take notes?
Old school – by hand. Then I transcribe the most salient points in summaries for clients or myself. It helps me remember things, to process the information at least twice.
What is your relationship to Excel?
I like Excel and use it more and more, e.g., for monitoring reports and mapping. Sometimes the functions are a bit frustrating, though, for example how it does not allow several hyperlinks in running text.
What is your favorite app & why?
We use Teams quite a lot, also for document sharing.
How many external lunches do you have a week?
Probably one or two, on average.
Which time do you go to bed?
At 11.30ish. I participate in a lot of social activities, singing and dancing, so the evenings are quite full.
Where do you keep up to date on Public Affairs?
Through discussions with my peers. I have also been actively engaged in SEAP, the Society of European Affairs Professionals, i.e., the Brussels lobbyists’ own lobby organisation. I sat on the board for 15 years. SEAP works on issues such as ethical standards and transparency in public affairs. I also pick up news regarding the sector through attending networking events.
What is your best tip for managing work/life balance?
I am probably the wrong person to ask… I tend to go all-in in everything I undertake so I get easily consumed by work. But, equally, I am obsessed with my kids so, all in all, I think that I manage. Importantly, my husband has been a stay-at-home-dad for many many years and he really takes care of all the ground service.
What do you do to unwind?
As I’ve mentioned before, singing and dancing – I go to a choir and to dancing lessons. And then I enjoy going out to party with different groups of friends!
How does your desk look?
I try not to be too messy, but I usually fail. I am very structured in my work but it may not look that way if the desk is anything to go by…
Do you answer emails on your phone?
All the time!
Name a PA pro in the industry you respect and why
My trainees – they are so smart and have a fresh perspective on most topics.
When you go on vacation, do you still answer emails?
As a business owner you have to. I very rarely have a real vacation. I do travel with the family, but always with my PC in tow.
Which book did you read recently or are you currently reading?
I am passionate about books – both audio books and regular books. I consume a lot (I always have to buy extra audio credits!). I loved Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart and The Glorious Heresies by Lisa McInerney which I read a few years ago.
Which skills will PA pros need the most in 5-10 year?
I think that curiosity is a timeless ingredient, although I am not sure you can call it a skill. The need to always know more and to go to the bottom of things.
Do you prefer LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter or TikTok, and why/why not?
I am not very keen on social media. Professionally I mostly use LinkedIn but, as my colleagues know, I am not a fan of the ‘here I am, look at my achievements’-style but I still do it as it is part of the game.
How big is your PA department?
In my consultancy there is 3 of us, plus 2 half time, but that sometimes changes, depending on needs.
Where is the PA departments placed in your organization?
We are privileged enough to work with clients who value PA very highly – we feel that we are part of their in-house teams and we feel that we often have the ear of their leaders.
Where should the PA function ideally be based in an organization & why?
I believe that it should be part of the strategic, business development function. It should be forward-looking and allow the organisation to make the best investments and strategic planning.

Meet Jennifer Adams & Alie Lambert
Alie and her husband, Cody, moved to Bonita Springs in the spring of 2023. As someone with an affinity for all things sunny and sandy, Alie felt instantly at home at the beach. Propelled by a desire to get to know her new community, she discovered The Scout Guide Naples through an online feature about local summer dining deals, and it was love at first read. She joins The Scout Guide Fort Myers as editor with a career background in advertising and public relations and is thrilled to be launching this new market in her own backyard.
In her free time, you can find Alie reading, planning her next outfit, at a Pilates class, making a dinner reservation, or traveling with Cody.
Jennifer Adams has called Southwest Florida home since 2007, when she swapped coasts of Florida for what she describes as “the more charming of the two.” Since graduating from the University of Florida, she’s spent time as a magazine editor, marketing pro, social media strategist and copywriter, and blogger. She acquired The Scout Guide Naples in 2020 as an opportunity to share the stories of the people, places, and businesses that make Naples such a special place to live and visit. She couldn’t be happier to expand the TSG footprint into Fort Myers and all of Lee County.
Apart from Scouting, Jennifer is often out and about with her husband, Jesse, riding horses, or taking many walks with their endlessly energetic Jack Russell Terrier, Riley.
Jennifer and Alie's Favorite Reasons to Visit
The people. “We’ve made friends who have landed here from all over the world, whom we would never have crossed paths with if it weren’t for our wonderful melting pot community.”
The food. “You could dine out every day for a whole year and still not scratch the surface of the local dining scene. We love attempting to try them all!”
The scenery. “It’s special to live among such beautiful nature scenes and wildlife, all while being only a 20-minute drive to the beach. As sunset enthusiasts, driving to the beach to watch the sun set on the Gulf is a novelty we do not take for granted. The palm trees and blue skies are a constant reminder of why we and many others consider the area to be a slice of paradise.” | <urn:uuid:2fa2e7f0-80d0-4552-9bf5-7d21ba533e1d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thescoutguide.com/fort-myers/about/ | 2024-04-25T07:57:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.959008 | 492 |
This Man United against Chelsea match always has the makings of a fiery affair but there is added spice this year following Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte‘s public war of words earlier in the season.
There will be a keen eye on the tunnel, but hopefully the best action takes place on the pitch as this game is the prelude to the League Cup Final between Arsenal and Man City.
Ander Herrera will be out for at least a few weeks after picking up an injury against Sevilla in midweek.
Eric Bailly could make his first start since United last met Chelsea on November 5th, but Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo, Daley Blind, Marouane Fellaini and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are all expected to miss out.
David Luiz, Tiémoué Bakayoko and Ross Barkley are all out for Chelsea, but they don’t have any other fresh injury concerns.
Both sides have been blowing hot and cold of late, making this a really tough fixture to call, but in terms of value I’m going to opt for Chelsea Draw No Bet at 13/8.
On their day Chelsea are a match for anyone, as they showed against Barcelona in midweek, with a tight defence and the brilliance of Eden Hazard and Willian.
The Brazilian has been on fire recently and I like the look of him at 10/1 each-way at unlimited prices to score first.
David De Gea saved United once again in midweek and I really fancy the 13/1 odds on him being named Man of the Match in this one.

(Ok, so on the mockups I machine stitched the pleats. But on the real thing I hand sewed so the stitching wouldn't show on the right side of the garment.)
Then, move on to the front of the panels of the tea gown - and this is where things got a little more complicated than they had been on the mockups. All those things you don't have to do on mockups, finishing edges, adding pockets, and actually attaching the entire skirt to the bodice? It was time for all that to be done on the real thing.
I pleated the front under bodice pieces just as I had on my final mockup. Then I finished the edges of the left bodice piece with a 2" wide black silk facing. And the right bodice piece? That I attached to the under skirt.
Now, I had not mocked up the front underskirt of my tea gown at all. Nope, I had a vague idea of what the underskirt needed to look like, and how it ought to attach to the bodice and overskirt, and I just winged it on the final garment. Thankfully, that mostly turned out ok. Only one last minute alteration had to be made - but more on that later.
The front underskirt was one big rectangle of black silk satin backed with black cotton broadcloth. I gathered the top edge to be a few inches longer than the bottom edge of my under bodice, and sewed it in place. I let the skirt extend past the end of what would be a wrap-style under bodice. The under skirt would reach from side seam to side seam of my tea gown. The wrap bodice would only be covering 2/3rds of that distance. I attached a partial waistband to the upper edge of the skirt where whe bodice ended.
Once the top edge of the underskirt was all fixed up, it was time to focus on the sides. These would be sewn into the side seams of the "over gown". The left side of the under skirt got a placket, so I would be able to get the tea gown on and off, and where the placket ended, the left side also got a pocket.
The right side too got a pocket, it's just a little higher up on my hip than the one on the left, as there was no placket to contend with.
These pockets are completely hidden by the "over dress" when the tea gown is worn - and they are very handy for putting things in!
I finished the front edges of my over dress with 2" facings, just like I did on the under bodice edges. And then, once the placket, pockets, and facings were all fixed up, I attached the under dress to the front over dress at the side seams and shoulders then sewed the front of the tea gown to the back. My tea gown was taking shape! It could now be tried on!
It fit!! And it resembled my inspiration gown! I was feeling good about this thing!
Next, thankfully with no difficulties, I constructed the sleeves and attached them to the gown. I decided to add a wide black velvet ruffle to the ends of the sleeves, and I love the effect it gives!
Now all my tea gown needed was the finishing work - the hems, closures, waist stay, boning, and bum pad. Well, I was almost ready for that stuff at least. Remember how I hadn't mocked up my underskirt? That shortcut came back to bite me. At this point it become obvious the under skirt needed a bit more work - it just wasn't as full at the hem as it needed to be. So, I pulled out my leftover fabric and seam ripper and added triangular gores at the side seams.
Thankfully, I had plenty of black satin left over to use for this. What I no longer had was black cotton broadcloth. Thus, the gores are flat-lined with purple quilting cotton instead, because that's what I was able to quickly find in my stash.
Once the gores were in place, it was time to really finish the gown. There was one internal picture of the gown on the LACMA website that allowed me to see how the dress was structured. (You can click on the picture below to go to the LACMA entry for this tea gown)
From this picture I was able to discern that the gown was supported by boning at the center back and side seams, a waist stay, and a small bum pad. So, I added these elements to my tea gown.
Three steel bones, encased in cotton ribbon on the side and back seams, a waist stay made of fun chevron cotton twill tape, and a bum pad made from scraps of black broadcloth and stuffed with torn up cotton quilt batting. The bum pad greatly improves the silhouette of the back of the gown.
I then hemmed the gown with a wide, bias-cut, cotton corduroy hem facing.
And finally, to finish it up, I sewed two small sets of hooks and bars onto the waist stay, and two large sets of hooks and bars onto wrap portions of the underbodice. 4 hooks and 4 bars, that's all it takes to fasten this gown!
When the last hook was sewn on, my Professor McGonagall inspired, 1895 Liberty of London, tea gown reproduction was done! All that's left to do now is to find as many excuses to wear it as possible! Oh, and a photo shoot, I definitely need more pictures of it!
Even though it was finished a few days after the deadline, this tea gown is my entry for May's Historical Sew Monthly challenge; Specific to a Time (of Day or Year).
What the item is: A Tea Gown - Tea gowns became popular in the late Victorian era. They were garments worn at home, primarily in the late afternoon.
Material: Silk Satin, Silk Jacquard, Polyester Velvet (sleeve ruffles) Cotton Broadcloth (underlining), and Cotton Corduroy (hem facing)
Pattern: A combination of several patterns from "59 Authentic Turn of the Century Fashion Patterns" along with a few self drafted pieces.
Notions: Thread, hooks and bars, twill tape, cotton ribbon, cotton batting, steel boning
How historically accurate is it? The pattern is accurate. The materials are accurate to this type of garment, have the right look, and are mostly accurate in fiber content (poly velvet being the exception here). This is a copy of a Liberty Tea Gown at LACMA, and I referenced the pictures of the original to help construct both the interior and exterior of my gown. The construction is a mixture of machine sewing with hand sewn finishes, which is also accurate for the period - with the exception of my serged seam allowances. This would be recognizable in its time. So I'll say 80% accurate.
Hours to complete: Oh goodness, I don't know!
First worn: June 5th, to assure myself it was really done and it really fit!!!!

Halloween: Why even bother with it?
As a six-year-old I pushed into celebrating my first Halloween. I had the most adorable sparkly, black and orange witch costume that was completed by the perfect pointy hat. My parents are divorced, so I was with my dad that weekend, and he insisted on taking my sister and I around the neighborhood for the Halloween treats. I was young; Halloween had a lot of hype, probably way too much hype. I expected to see witches flying across the moon, zombies chasing irresponsible teens through the cemeteries, or at least see ghosts in the window of an abandoned house. Did I see any of that? No. What did I see? The inside of my crazy aunt’s home, crying little kids dressed as pumpkins, and mini vans … so many mini vans.
The only other time I went trick-or-treating was my fifth grade year when my best friend Molly talked me into it. “It’ll be a great time, Alyssa. Think of all the fun we’ll have, Alyssa.” I’m sorry, Molly, I love you and all, but the snow, terrible candy, and throbbing feet didn’t make me like Halloween anymore.
I hate Halloween. I’ve tried to understand why people are so into it, but for the most part I don’t know why people even bother?
Maybe it’s just me, but I’m sorry that I refuse to dress in a pleather Cat Woman costume just to have some drunk pirate grab me booty in search of me treasure. I’ve never understood this phenomenon with dressing up as someone you could never be, dropping $50+ on haunted houses, hospitals, forests, barns, jails, tree houses, fields, shacks, schools and bathrooms, or encouraging your children to dress like the cast of Jersey Shore.
I mean to offend any of you who still think trick-or-treating is acceptable. People think you’re an idiot. Past sixth grade, trick-or-treating is no longer acceptable. I’m sorry that I had to break the news to you. If you’re above the age of 13 and still want to celebrate Halloween, do it in your room watching “Nightmare on Elm Street” or “Friday the 13th,” not pushing little kids down to get the best candy.
OK. Confession: I did enjoy part of Halloween when I was in seventh grade. My neighbors have a cactus in their yard that overflows into the street. My friend Hannah’s mom was driving kids around in her mini van and parked only feet away from the prickly plant. Hannah’s little brother then proceeded to crash, full-speed, into the cactus. He let out a great howl and then started crying. Don’t worry, he was fine. I knew he couldn’t be too injured, because he ran up to my porch to grab Hannah. No Halloween will quite match it.
I guess I will never understand why Halloween is such a big deal to society. Maybe I’m just being stubborn and refuse to try to understand. Or maybe society is a large group of idiots who will probably wake up the next morning regretting the decision they made the night before. Oh well, who am I to judge? I won’t even bother with Halloween anymore. | <urn:uuid:f974018e-8255-4a39-b0db-82c842a7ce20> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thesunflower.com/8514/opinion/halloween-why-even-bother-with-it/ | 2024-04-25T08:04:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.967135 | 728 |
What do you do for fun? If you just shrugged your shoulders, know that I had the same reaction while listening to this podcast episode. I wasn’t even 5 minutes in before the alarm bells sang: What do I do for fun? Why can’t I think of fun things to do? I hurried into the kitchen to ask my husband to weigh in. You know it’s no bueno when he also shrugged. I captured the real live footage:
Fun Things To Do…But First A Heart To Heart
Can we have a heart to heart before diving into a list of fun things to do (when it’s been awhile)?
As women, our default mode is often serving mode. Which is an incredible gift! God was intentional in providing us with the capacity to manage many things at once and do so with a giving heart. BUT somewhere along the way we started martyring ourselves in the name of our to-do lists. Work, meals, dishes, chores, scraped knees and making-sure-everyone-has-clean-clothes (shall I continue?) weigh us down and make it feel like there is positively no room for anything else, especially fun. It’s not that serving others isn’t important, it’s that we are often doing so at the detriment of us having fun and taking good care of ourselves.
“Fun, like rest, isn’t always naturally part of our lives. Getting things done is. Organizing our time is. Keeping our homes clean is. But rest and fun? Not so much, at least not for a lot of people. So just like you schedule rest, schedule fun. Pay attention to [what that means] for you, don’t feel bad if it doesn’t match someone else’s idea […], and don’t feel guilty for doing it in the first place. You’re allowed to have fun!”
The Lazy Genius Podcast – #256 How To Make Time For Fun
Fun Things To Do…Time To “Pivot!”
Isn’t it funny how sometimes the silliest moments can lead us to big pivots in our lives? (Yes, I just thought of Ross and his couch, too). The conversation (filled with shrugs) in the kitchen shook me up. It’s not that my husband and I haven’t talked about this before… it’s just that it really bothered me this time. I was bothered that not one fun idea came to the top of my mind. So I asked my husband to spend some time brainstorming ideas with me. I knew that that there were many fun things I liked to do but it had just been awhile. I pulled out my notebook and started scribbling.
And friend? I want you to do the same! To make it easier, I’ve rounded up some ideas for you. Write down the ones that sound fun to YOU. Keep it somewhere you can refer to when you need to let loose. I know the world is heavy. I feel it, too. But what is the best medicine for a heavy heart? Laughter, joy, fun. We’re in it together!

There must be a basement somewhere on Bay Street full of English majors. Every day they churn out great reams of verbiage about “environmental, social and governance strategy” and fill annual reports with a dozen different ways to say that the big five Canadian banks care about the environment.
Except the numbers tell a different story, and if you want to know the truth, then the old adage “follow the money” will steer you in the right direction, passing quickly through all the green bafflegab and arriving at the conclusion that the banks are sacrificing our climate to make a profit.
The latest news is a recent pledge by TD to achieve a “target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions associated with our operations and financing activities by 2050,” trumpeting that it’s the first Canadian bank to do so. Sounds good, yes?
But dig deeper and there’s no mention that since the Paris Agreement TD has financed more than C$135 billion in fossil fuel projects, the eighth largest amount out of all the banks on the planet. What will TD’s net-zero pledge do to alter this climate-killing practice? It doesn’t say. But judging from the collective shrug from the oil patch, probably not much.
What TD does say is that it will “work closely with clients” rather than decide that certain clients probably shouldn’t be clients. Notably, Suncor, Cenovus and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. all also have 2050 net-zero pledges, so presumably TD will continue to finance them, whose products rapidly fill our atmosphere with "green" carbon while our life-support systems fail.
Not to single out TD here. RBC is the big daddy of Canadian fossil fuel financing, number five in the world, financing over C$183 billion in fossil fuel projects since the Paris Agreement. While it hasn’t yet made a net-zero pledge, last month it did make the symbolic declaration that it would not finance projects in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, which is helpful politically to the Gwich’in people leading the fight to protect their homeland. TD, BMO and CIBC also made that pledge.
RBC added a commitment about coal. Given the climate crisis and the fact that coal is the worst fossil fuel, you might expect a blanket commitment to get out of coal right away, but instead RBC parsed its words, saying it wouldn’t finance new coal clients if more than 60 per cent of their revenues are from coal — even though many of these companies are conglomerates so their coal operations are a minority of their business — and that it would work with existing coal clients to reduce emissions, with no targets or timelines.
Taken together, RBC’s Arctic and coal pledges will probably not significantly affect its financing practices.
As for BMO, Scotiabank and CIBC, they provide hundreds of billions in fossil fuel financing, and no plans to end this. In addition, the CEOs of the big five banks can be reliably found spouting off oil industry propaganda in Canada’s media, decrying regulations and arguing for more pipelines.
In short, the big five banks are long on fancy rhetoric about being good climate actors, but where the rubber hits the road, they are as responsible for the world’s failing climate performance as the oil companies they enable.
How do we change this? TD has admitted that it doesn’t yet know how to implement its net-zero pledge and will set interim targets on the way to 2050. If its pledge is to have any credibility, it needs to set a simple target of year-over-year reductions in fossil fuel financing from today forwards. And, since it is starting from such a massive baseline of tens of billions of this financing each year, it needs to quickly slash that in half, then half again if it is serious about being consistent with climate science.
The same applies to the other banks, although they are even further away from taking action. The oil and gas divisions in these banks are powerful and won’t voluntarily shrink away — even though they’ve been losing their banks money lately with the price of oil crashing.
None of the big five banks will move beyond green bafflegab until citizens and society — including their customers — demand it. Young people are in a particularly powerful position in this regard, since they are future mortgage holders, the most prized bank asset.
If you are with one of the big five, write to your branch manager and tell them you’ll move your business to a credit union unless they stop financing billions of fossil fuel projects. Better yet, start moving your money over to a credit union anyway — as a bonus you’ll feel good about owning the institution you bank at. | <urn:uuid:29c01cae-bda8-44d2-82df-65d0dba1e5b7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2020/11/25/Big-Banks-Bafflegab/ | 2024-04-25T07:28:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.955866 | 990 |
If you’re looking to start the New Year on a healthier note, here are tips that will help take your health up a notch.
Keep Track of Your Weight
Keeping track of your weight and eating a healthy diet is the best way to stay healthy in the New Year. This includes tracking what you eat, how often, and taking note of any potential changes in your weight.
Limit Alcohol Consumption
Limit alcohol consumption if you are looking to be healthier this year!
Studies have shown that moderation is key when it comes to alcohol consumption and it can help with some health concerns such as high blood pressure and a weakened immune system.
Drink More Water with Lemon or Cucumber
If you’re feeling dehydrated, try adding lemon or cucumber to your water for an added boost of flavor without extra calories! Vitamin C will also help lower your risk for heart disease, cancer, and even arthritis. | <urn:uuid:cb1a50ca-6380-4500-9ff6-037ca864000f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://theunderbelly.org/what-do-humans-need-to-stay-healthy | 2024-04-25T07:18:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.9366 | 188 |
Nowadays, too much attention is paid to how fancy or cool technology is. As people become absorbed in these superficial values, they also tend not to notice how they’ve become estranged to other people because of it. Eddie believes that technology can be used in a more meaningful way. For him, using “cool” technology is simply a means to convey a message, the message that we need to connect.
With this idea in mind, Eddie founded Seeeklab. “Seeeklab is like a laboratory full of mad scientists, messing around with a bunch of strange and curious things,” he says “we don’t just want to make ‘cool’ devices. We want them to inspire people to feel something. There is no end in chasing the latest technology, so our focus is really on tapping into people’s emotions.”
Their idea is to fill technology with a certain warmth, to create something that fulfils people’s emotional needs. It’s why they created “The Sand Letter”, to bring back handwriting into an age in which everybody quickly punches in words on keyboards. Another project is the “Rain Project”, using illuminant installations to encourage autistic people to interact with others.
Eddie is a true believer of the emotional value of technology, using it to bring humanity back into society. Eddie is an Unreasonable person. | <urn:uuid:230762d7-7457-4c6b-9646-6dec789b325c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://theunreasonable.com/en/2016/06/%E5%88%9B%E6%84%8F%E7%A7%91%E6%8A%80%E4%BA%BA/ | 2024-04-25T08:14:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.943212 | 294 |
Designing towards circularity
The idea behind The Usual is that everything they do – whether in construction, daily operation, or guest experience – has as little negative impact on people and the environment as possible. The Usual’s ambition is to challenge the hospitality industry.
The organisation distinguishes itself with a comprehensive ESG-focus (Environmental, Social and Governance), they continuously assess themselves. In the construction of their hotels, they meet high environmental requirements and work towards sustainable standards for insulation and energy supply. For example, the hotel in Rotterdam will be off the gas grid and they purchase certified energy from Dutch wind turbines. The Usual will verify its ambitions by becoming certified by notable organisations, including BREAAM In-use, Green Key and, in the future, B Corp.
Finally, the hotels will have partially green roofs where possible, planted with a mix of herbs and sedum moss, as well as an insect hotel, and nests for birds and bats. Part of the flooring in the communal areas is made from recycled plastic, a portion of which was retrieved from local rivers, and they are working hard to keep their waste to a minimum. And no, their spaces are certainly not for just the lucky few. The Usual offers various accommodation types for different needs, ranging from Pods and Long-Stay Apartments and ‘The Usual’ hotel room. For The Usual, hospitality and inclusivity go in hand. | <urn:uuid:49b6f45d-2e6b-492d-83fe-b00615b55ac7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://theusual.com/en/press-releases/introducing-the-usual-a-new-hospitality-concept-for-the-conscious-traveller-where-experiences-turn-into-true-connections/ | 2024-04-25T07:14:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.961628 | 298 |

There’s an old saying that if you have nothing nice to say, you should say nothing at all. But what do you do when you have nothing nice to say, don’t want to say anything, but someone insists you say something anyway?
It never ceases to amaze me how people with some of the worst reputations have no qualms in asking someone to vouch for them.
At some point in your life, many of you have been asked to provide a reference letter for a friend or former colleague. You didn’t want to do it, but you did it anyway because you didn’t want to hurt their feelings. So, you sat hunched over your computer trying to come up with all the reasons you feel that person should be hired.
Let me tell you why that’s a bad idea. Providing a reference for someone who is not deserving of your adulation is probably one of the worst decisions you could make. Firstly, it’s a lie. Secondly, you are not giving a company a fair chance to eliminate a poor candidate and thirdly and most importantly, you’re putting your own reputation on the line.
Tony Montana once famously said, “all I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don’t break ‘em for no one.” Tony had a point, albeit a grammatically incorrect point.
I would rather give money than to give a bad job seeker a reference letter because my word means too much. Signing my name to something means too much.
Just Say No
A young man who has been fired multiple times for stealing, or as Bahamians say, t’iefing, had the nerve to ask me for a reference letter. Now, given the chance, this man would t’ief Jesus off the cross, but he wanted me to give him a recommendation and then sign my name to it. Uh, it’s a no for me, dawg.
I thought to myself, if I recommend him and he steals from this job (as I suspect he will), the HR managers would question my integrity. Well, despite my denying him a reference letter, he landed the job and guess what? He was fired. For what, you ask? Stealing. Sorry . . . t’iefing.
Harpo, Who Dis Woman?
There are times when people you barely know will ask you for reference letters. Sure, you’ve worked with them, but you don’t really know them. A young lady who was interning at my old job spent two days with me and figured we knew each other well enough to ask for a reference letter.
She seemed professional and polite. I wanted to help her, but couldn’t because I did not know her. Two days was not enough time for me to learn her work ethic and see how she responded under pressure. So, I told her that I would not be the best person to do that. She understood.
Stick To The Basics.
If someone you know insists on receiving a reference letter from you and you absolutely do not want to hurt their feelings by saying no, stick to the basics. Keep the letter very straight to the point. Any HR manager worth his or her salt will be able to read between the lines. But, sometimes, you’re put in situations without your knowledge.
A subordinate who was repeatedly disrespectful to me and other managers had the nerve to put me down as a reference. When the HR manager called me to find out about this perspective employee, I totally ignored the questions being put to me and would only confirm details. I would say, Employee X worked here during this time period, Employee X was responsible for this and that, etc. When the manager finally caught on, she asked one final question: Would you rehire Employee X again. My response: absolutely not.
Sometimes, you just have to go missing in action. If you don’t like confrontation or simply don’t want to be bothered, just don’t respond. They’ll get the message.
My sister, who is as gangster as they come, will disappear into thin air if an unscrupulous character asks her for a reference. You need that letter by tomorrow? She will go missing for a month. Her phone would suddenly “crash” and she ain’t answering unknown numbers.
Whatever tactic you decide to use, don’t put your good name on the line for people who don’t deserve it.
Hold Up. Weight A Minute
Because I work in media, people often ask me to endorse things, some even ask me to invest.
A company owner once tried to convince me to invest in her weight loss program. During her sales pitch, I found myself examining every inch of her 300-pound body. She tried to convince me that her program would give me a good return on my money and was highly effective, as she had experienced “great results.” Firstly, separating me from my money is no easy feat, so, that was already the first hurdle she had to overcome. Secondly, seeing is believing. And what I was seeing, I couldn’t believe.
I eventually told her that I was not interested in that type of investment and, in a very gentle way, told her that I did not think she was an appropriate spokesperson for a weight loss product. She politely informed me that she started her company from the ground up, it was her money and her idea, so she would be the spokesperson and if I didn’t want to get involved, that was my loss. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t attach myself to her or her product. You know why? Because all I’ve got in this world is my balls and my word and I don’t break ‘em for no one.
I dedicate this column to my aunt, Claudia Pedican, who recently passed away. She was the sweetest human being in the world with a wicked sense of humor. I will miss watching Bewitched and the Dark Shadows soap opera with you, Auntie Clee. I love you so much. Go live your best afterlife, gyal. | <urn:uuid:4fd7d7b1-2ecc-4833-b6ac-3063917442f1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://thisbahamiangyal.com/its-a-no-for-me-dawg/ | 2024-04-25T06:52:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.982412 | 1,304 |
It was 1916. There was a town. There was a circus. There was a murder. When the Sparks World Famous Circus pulls into the quiet town of Erwin, TN, the residents of this sleepy little place can hardly contain their excitement. But, when a member of the circus commits a gruesome crime, the townspeople demand justice. Building on both historical fact and legend, Elephant’s Graveyard questions how good people can, if only for a moment, turn into monsters who unleash a deep-seated craving for spectacle and revenge.

Today, we hear the sloppy, misconceived term “white nationalism” more often than we hear about American nationalism. And whenever the term nationalism is raised, it is often quickly conflated with racism. For instance, at an Oct. 23 rally, President Donald Trump declared that he was a nationalist. He used the term in contrast with globalist, who he called “a person that wants the globe to do well, frankly not caring about our country so much.” Many commentators quickly deplored the President’s statement as a dog-whistle admission that he truly supports “white nationalism,” once again suppressing legitimate debate over the value of American nationalism, while insisting that racialist “white nationalism” is what we really should be talking about.
This is a problem. Because it’s American nationalism that the U.S. needs right now. Never in our lifetimes have we seen America’s various tribes so divided, so intolerant of one another, so quick to delegitimize and even threaten violence. The mutual loyalty that has bound Americans together as a nation seems like it is disappearing. The bitter argument over ongoing large-scale immigration is only a proxy for this deeper issue: Can Americans ever unite again around a shared national story? Can they ever see themselves as brothers again?
“White nationalism” is used to describe the small fringe of Americans who believe nationality is defined by the color of one’s skin. These groups promote the kind of loosely Darwinian thinking that motivated German Nazism: What’s decisive, they say, is the “quality” of one’s genes. So people should obsess about skin color and the shape of one’s facial features — traits that supposedly tell you who’s got the right genetic make-up.
Most Americans find these attempts to reduce nationality to race repugnant. This is because race politics brought about the murder of millions in Europe, while in America it produced slavery, civil war and a legacy of domestic unease — and occasional violence — that hasn’t died down to this day.
But “white nationalism” is also misconceived because “whites” are not a nation: We’re familiar with the English, Dutch, French and Polish nations. They’re recognized by a common cultural inheritance, especially a distinctive language and religion, and by the bonds of mutual loyalty that come of centuries of joint struggle. The Polish nation, for example, is known by its Polish language, Catholicism and a long, painful history of striving for independence from Germany and Russia. By contrast, no “white” nation is found in any history book. There is no distinctive “white” language, religion or cultural inheritance. The idea that “whites” are a nation is just so much make-believe. Instead of deepening Americans’ pride in, and attachment to, the remarkable Anglo-American political and religious traditions that brought the United States into being, “white nationalists” conduct their parades under bizarre new flags they have invented for themselves: They prefer to replace the authentic American nationalist tradition with a concocted new racial identity that is just as much a break with the American past as the neo-Marxist revolution being proposed by the Left.
But if the American nation is not a race, what is it? It’s now often said that the American nation is actually an “idea” — the idea that all men are created equal, for example, or that the powers of government derive from consent, as suggested in the Declaration of Independence. But that isn’t any more plausible than the racism of the alt-right. After all, if America is a handful of abstract principles drawn from 18th century Enlightenment philosophy, what are we to make of Americans who dissent from this philosophy — on biblical or Aristotelian, Burkean or Humean grounds? Does philosophical disagreement mean you’re not an American? Of course not. Similarly, if a people in a foreign land pledges allegiance to the ideals of the Declaration, does that make them Americans? No, it doesn’t.
Most Americans aren’t attracted to white-racist politics or to the racialist identity politics of the neo-Marxist left. But the claim that America is just “an idea” hasn’t gotten much traction either. Most Americans remain attached to a more traditional way of understanding their nation — one that isn’t clearly articulated very often these days.
Not long ago, Americans still possessed an intuitive understanding of nationhood whose source was in the Bible. The King James Bible uses the terms “nation” and “people” thousands of times. In reading Scripture, Americans — like their English, Dutch and Scottish cousins — encountered God promising Abraham, “I will make of thee a great nation” (Genesis 12.2); and telling Moses, “Ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation” (Exodus 19.6). Ancient Israel was, for generations of Bible-literate Americans, the prototype of a “nation.”
In the Bible, “nations” aren’t defined by race. The Bible reports that many Egyptians joined the Israelites and stood with them at Mt. Sinai; and that King David was descended from Ruth, a Moabite who joined herself to Israel, saying “Your people is my people, and your God my God” (Ruth 1.16). In the Bible, nations adopt individuals and even entire tribes.
While biblical nations aren’t defined by race, they are also not merely “an idea.” Biblical Israel consists of a diversity of tribes, who are nonetheless bound to one another by language and law, and a mutual loyalty arising from facing adversity together in the past. Notice that when Ruth joins herself to Israel, she embraces both the Jewish people and its God. It’s not just the “idea” of the one God, then, that makes her an Israelite. She binds herself to the actual families and tribes of this nation, their language and their ways of doing things: “Your people is my people.”
American nationalists used to think of their nation in just this way: Neither as a race, nor as an abstract “idea” — but rather as a diversity of tribes sharing a heritage and a mutual loyalty born of a joint history. The original American states, while internally diverse, nonetheless largely shared the English language, Protestant religion and the common law, and had fought Britain together. The nation reflected in these characteristics was so strong that Americans were gradually able to adopt other “tribes” into the mix: Catholics, Jews and — with time — the African-Americans who had lived through the evils of enslavement and segregation.
But American nationalists sought to counterbalance increasing diversity with a carefully protected common cultural inheritance: New territories were admitted as American states only once they had an English-speaking majority and adopted the common law. The eradication of slavery in the South and polygamy among the Mormons was likewise the result of a common cultural inheritance, descended from English Puritanism, which Americans insisted on maintaining even at the price of coercion.
It was not until after World War II that these core institutions at the heart of classical American nationalism — Biblical religion, the Anglo-American legal inheritance, and the English language — began to fade. The disintegration of classical American nationalism, and the consequent loosening of the bonds of mutual loyalty that had held Americans together, has created a vacuum at the heart of American national identity. It is this vacuum that revolutionary new theories such as “white nationalism” hope to fill.
As Americans have stopped reading the Bible, they have also lost an intuitive sense of what a “nation” is, and of what must be done to maintain it. At a time when large-scale immigration is at the forefront of U.S. politics, a biblically-rooted American nationalism — one that recognizes the nation as a diversity of tribes bound together by a common heritage and mutual loyalty — is sorely lacking from American public debate.

Shopping for the perfect dress online can be a daunting task. With so many options available, it can be hard to know where to start. Fortunately, there are a few tricks and tips that you can use to make sure you get the best deal possible when shopping at online stores. In this blog post, we’ll provide you with an ultimate guide to finding the best deals on dresses at online stores, so that you can find the perfect dress at the perfect price.
Shop the Sales
Finding deals on dresses online doesn’t have to be a challenge. Shopping the sales can be a great way to score stylish dresses at discounted prices. Popular retailers like Amazon, ASOS, Nordstrom, and Target all have periodic sales events that offer savings of up to 70% off select items. If you know exactly what you’re looking for—like a two-piece lawn dress or a formal ball gown—keep your eyes peeled for these special offers. Even if you don’t find the exact item you had in mind, you might come across something even better!
You can also sign up for newsletters from online retailers to stay up to date on any upcoming promotions or sales. Many sites also offer loyalty programs or discounts for first-time shoppers. And don’t forget about flash sales, where you can find trendy dresses marked down for a limited time only. With so many options for saving money on dresses through online shopping, it’s easy to find something that fits your style and budget.
Follow Your Favorite Brands on Social Media
When it comes to online shopping, one of the best ways to get a great deal is by following your favorite brands on social media. You can easily stay up-to-date with their latest sales and promotions, allowing you to snag a deal before anyone else. Some brands even offer exclusive discounts only available to their social media followers, so make sure to follow them for the best chance of getting the most bang for your buck. Additionally, you can also keep up with any new designs or styles that have recently been released, helping you find the perfect dress for any occasion.
Use a Price Tracker
If you’re serious about finding the best deals on dresses online, then using a price tracker can be a huge help. Price trackers are websites and apps that track the prices of items in different online stores. That way, you can compare prices from store to store and get the best deal.
For example, let’s say you wanted to buy a 2 piece lawn dress for an upcoming event. You can use a price tracker to compare the prices of the same dress in different stores. That way, you can find the store with the lowest price and snag that bargain.
Price trackers can also help you find discounts and sales from your favorite stores. They’ll alert you if the dress you want goes on sale so you don’t have to keep checking back for deals. This is a great way to save money and get the most bang for your buck.
Join an Online Community

These communities are often full of helpful advice and tips on where to find the best deals. Plus, they’re a great way to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and styles.
A popular online community is the 2 Piece Lawn community. This Facebook group brings together passionate shoppers who share their style secrets and tips on how to get the best deals. They also discuss their favorite brands and offer advice on how to pair clothes to create a complete look. It’s a great way to get inspired, find out about upcoming sales, and get advice from real fashion lovers.
Check Out Secondhand Sites
If you’re looking to find great deals on dresses online, consider checking out secondhand sites. Online shopping at secondhand sites can be a great way to get stylish dresses at discounted prices. You can find previously worn and gently used pieces from various retailers, as well as vintage items that are sure to stand out in your wardrobe. In addition to the potential savings, secondhand sites can offer unique options that may not be available elsewhere.
Before you start browsing secondhand sites for dresses, research the site and read any reviews or customer feedback. Also, be sure to check the return policy in case the dress doesn’t fit or isn’t what you expected. Once you’ve found a secondhand site that looks promising, take the time to search through their selection of dresses and compare prices with other stores. You may be able to find a perfect dress that’s much cheaper than if you bought it new!
With some careful shopping, you can find amazing dresses for unbeatable prices on secondhand sites.

Scarlett Johansson's divorces shaped her Marriage Story performance
Marriage Story star Scarlett Johansson on her experience in two failed marriages and the challenges of co-parenting
Marriage Story is really the story of the unravelling of a marriage, but it begins with the characters Nicole (Scarlett Johansson) and Charlie (Adam Driver) reading aloud what they like about each other.
Which makes their subsequent split, with its escalating bitterness, weaponised pettiness and bad behaviour, a profoundly moving human story about two people who love each other but cannot stay married.
Caught in the middle is the couple's eight-year-old son, who inevitably becomes a pawn in their legal fight despite their best efforts.
Written and directed by Noah Baumbach, the film - which is streaming on Netflix - recently received a leading six Golden Globe nominations.
Johansson, 35, has been through two divorces in real life.
Her first husband was Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds, whom she married in 2008. They split three years later.
Then in 2014, she married Frenchman Romain Dauriac after the birth of their daughter Rose. They parted ways three years later and there was a custody battle .
She is now engaged to Saturday Night Live comedian Colin Jost.
On how she developed Nicole with Baumbach, who went through a divorce with US actress Jennifer Jason Leigh, she said in our interview at the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills: "I don't necessarily think that you have to have lived the experience of the character, but I think there's stuff in there.
"I have a certain emotional vocabulary I built up as a person living my life. So those are the words that I know how to use to craft a performance. It sometimes comes from what I observe of other people's experiences, but it also comes deeply from some visceral thing inside of me.
"Noah and I spent a lot of time talking, not just about divorce but also about our parents, our past relationships, people we dated, about our kids, about co-parenting, about a lot of stuff that was coloured in all the aspects of this story."
Johansson shared what she told her five-year-old daughter, who was a toddler when her parents split, about why they were no longer together.
She said: "When she asks me why I'm not with her dad any more, I always say we are better as friends. When we were a couple, it wasn't so nice and we had arguments, and I say, now we're friends. We can communicate better and we can love you separately. And it doesn't change our feelings about you at all.
"But it's so hard. I don't envy a parent who needs to tell even an older child that."
When asked about co-parenting challenges, Johansson said she and her former husband handle it pretty well.
"We do as good as we can. I never experienced anything like it before so there was no rule book. But if you have respect for the other person and speak respectfully about them, and even though you may have your frustrations or whatever that led you to not be with them as a partner, you still can respect them as a parent. And I think that's how we try to act from that space."
Johansson has two films on the awards circuit this year, Marriage Story and Jojo Rabbit, but she is also part of the biggest franchise in the world, the Avengers films.
She said she does not discriminate between low- and big-budget movies but only takes those that fulfil her creatively.
Johansson said: "The Marvel stuff is really fulfilling in a totally different way for me. I feel like all of the work that I do is for my own fulfilment as an actor. And then sometimes it's big or small, or people go see it or they don't, or it bombs, or it succeeds, or whatever.
"I don't have that architecture to my career. It just has happened that way."
Next up for her is the standalone superhero movie Black Widow, which will open on April 30.
"I continue to understand my job on a deeper level as I get older," said Johansson.
"I feel like I have muscles that I have earned from just a lot of work. I've spent a lot of time not getting stuff right. I feel I know myself better as a person, and that's also helped me as an actor. It is a job that just gets better and better, and I love my job, more now than I ever did before."
But the one that got away is a directing project she has thought of for years, a script she wrote based on US author Truman Capote's first novel, Summer Crossing, which was never published in his lifetime after he threw it in the trash.
The project was announced, but it never went anywhere.
She said: "I was working for Marvel and that would always take precedence. And then I got pregnant and that obviously took precedence. After that, it became a thing that never came to fruition, but I'm still interested in that project. Yes, I still think about it."
The writer is the chair of the board of directors of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a non-profit organisation of entertainment journalists that also organises the annual Golden Globe Awards. | <urn:uuid:84a2656a-2bf2-4a68-a5f8-499c256edc74> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://tnp.straitstimes.com/entertainment/movies/scarlett-johanssons-divorces-shaped-her-marriage-story-performance | 2024-04-25T08:36:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.989613 | 1,111 |

INVISIBLE is based on in-depth interview research, gender studies, feminism studies, fashion culture and visual culture to explore the relationship between women, technology and fashion.
The project applies digital practices, offering two media with fashion photography: fashion pictures that combine digital illustration and photography; and fashion films that combine animation, 3D technology and photography.
It is divided into 9 parts and is illustrated by 9 subjects: transformation, time and space, data integration, confusion, cyber women, rebirth, moon, face and mask. The elements of the images display the features of technology and femininity and all images combine illustration and photography in an elegant, dreamlike and surreal style.
The images use elements of myth and cyber to express women’s emotions, explore ecofeminism whereby women are metaphorically and closely related to nature, and cyberfeminism, where women are related to technology. | <urn:uuid:0819e42d-97a1-43d6-a61a-eb38dc44bae2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://tonesgallery.com/collections/invisible | 2024-04-25T07:48:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.915957 | 185 |

Toni Breidinger Joins NCTS with TRICON Garage Sponsored by Victoria’s Secret
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (April 26, 2023) — TRICON Garage (TRICON) announced today that Toni Breidinger will join the team as driver of the No. 1 Victoria’s Secret Toyota TundraTRD Pro at Kansas Speedway on May 6. The 23-year-old will make her series debut, breaking ground as the first Arab American woman to compete in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (NCTS).

In 34 career AMS starts, the Bay Area native has collected nine top-ten finishes. In addition, Breidinger captured 19 victories in her United States Auto Club (USAC) open-wheel midget career before making the transition to stock cars in her late teens.

I’m endlessly grateful to the Victoria’s Secret team for believing in not only me, but women in sports. A huge thanks to Toyota Racing Development and TRICON Garage for this opportunity. It’s going to be a learning curve, but I’m ready to soak up every bit of it,” said Breidinger.

JOLIET, Ill. -- (WGN) -- Illinois authorities on Thursday said that more than 2,200 preserved fetal remains found stacked in the garage of a deceased doctor's home were from abortions performed in Indiana nearly two decades ago and it's up to authorities there to determine if crimes were committed.
At a news conference in Joliet, Illinois, near where the remains were found sealed in individual bags inside more than 70 boxes, Will County officials said that the fetal material was from abortions performed in 2000, 2001 and 2002 in Indiana. The material will be sent back to Indiana, where authorities are investigating.
State's Attorney James Glasgow said that there are no immediate indications that Dr. Ulrich Klopfer, who died Sept. 3, conducted any abortions in Illinois or committed any crimes in the state.
Glasgow did leave open the possibility that Illinois authorities could investigate a statement Klopfer once made that he performed an abortion of a 10-year-old Illinois girl who had been raped by her uncle, even though investigations found no records of such a crime.
He said that the laws Klopfer might have violated in Indiana were on disposal of fetal remains and failing to file the proper paperwork related to the procedures.
"If they (Indiana authorities) get any information about the 10-year-old girl and it's within the statute of limitations then we would make ourselves available," he said. But, he said, "We need to make no further criminal inquiry here." | <urn:uuid:654cdd9d-257e-4513-be3b-f8626152a660> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://truecrimedaily.com/2019/09/20/official-fetal-remains-found-in-indiana-doctors-garage-nearly-2-decades-old/ | 2024-04-25T07:58:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.979016 | 304 |
The UK's data protection chief has endorsed a browser- or device-level setting that allows Internet users to choose permanent cookie preferences. This is in response to the constant stream of consent popups infected websites throughout the region.
European web users who are trying to digest this change in a monotonously unchanging regulatory story should be forgiven for their sense of dj vu and for asking themselves if they haven't been gaslit enough regarding cookie consent.
Oliver Dowden, the UK's digital minister, took aim at what he called an interminable parade of cookie popups. This suggests that the government may be looking to reduce consent requirements for web tracking. Ministers are examining how to deviate from European Union data protection standards post-Brexit. (He will present the whole of the government's data reform plans later in the month, so keep an eye out.
Elizabeth Denham, the UK's current information commissioner, spoke out today to ask her counterparts from G7 countries to get together to discuss the idea of web users being able to express their privacy preferences at the browser/app/device-level, instead of having to do so through pop-ups each time they visit a site.
Denham released a statement in which she announced an idea that she would present to fellow G7 privacy and data protection authorities this week. The idea was on how to improve the cookie consent mechanism, make web browsing more user-friendly and protect personal data. People are giving out more personal information than they want because of this fatigue.
Businesses and other organizations that run websites should not use the cookie mechanism. It is expensive and can result in poor user experience. My office encourages international collaboration in order to find practical solutions.
Nearly two billion websites exist that take into account privacy preferences around the world. This issue cannot be tackled by one country alone. This is why I'm calling on my G7 counterparts to harness their collective power. She added that we can all work together with standards organizations and technology companies to find a common approach to this problem.
When asked for further information on the idea, an ICO spokesperson rewrote the words as follows: Instead of trying change through almost 2 billion websites, the idea was that regulators and legislators could focus their attention on the browsers, apps, and devices users use to access the internet.
Instead of clicking through consent on a website's level, users can express their privacy preferences via browsers, software programs, and device settings. This allows them to update and set preferences at a time that suits them, rather than having to visit each site.
A browser-baked Do Not Track (DNT) signal isn't a new concept. This idea is more than a decade old. It could even be called the "idea that can't die" because it has never been truly alive, as previous attempts to embed user privacy preferences in browser settings were stopped by lack of industry support.
Denham's approach to lasting preferences may be different from DNT. She calls for other regulators to get involved with the tech industry and its standards organizations to come up with practical, business-friendly solutions to the cookie pop-up problem in the regional Internets.
This call may not result in a consensus that is practical or simply pro-industry. It is possible that something might be.
Today's press release could be just Denham trying raise her profile as she is about to leave the chair of information commissioners. (Never miss an opportunity to network internationally. Her counterparts from the USA, Canada, Japan France Germany, Germany, France and Italy are scheduled for a virtual chat today and tomorrow. She implies that she will try to engage them with her big ideas.
The UK is her replacement, however, has already been lined up. Unless Denham is able to jump into a similar role at another G7 data protection authority, anything Denham currently champions at the end her ICO chapter may be lost.
Denham is not the only one to pitch for a reconsideration of cookie consent mechanisms, even though he was the first to do so in recent years.
For example, a US-centric coalition of tech-publishers released a Global Privacy Standard (GPC), which aimed to create momentum for a browser level pro-privacy signal that will stop the sale personal data. It was geared towards California's Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), but could also be useful for other Internet users.
They announced that 40M+ people were using a browser or extension which supports GPC in January. A number of major publishers also signed up to honor the initiative. It is fair to say that its global impact has been limited.
The European Privacy Group noyb has published a technical proposal to create a European-centric automated web browser-level signal. This would allow regional users to make advanced consent choices and enable the EU's more comprehensive (vs CCPA), legal framework for data protection.
Noyb co-authored the proposal with the Sustainable Computing Lab of the Vienna University of Economics and Business. It is called Advanced Data Protection Control (ADPC). Noyb called for the EU to create such a system, suggesting that there is still time for lawmakers to do so. This could be a sign of a window of opportunity.
There are some examples of how practical, more efficient and still pro-privacy consent mechanisms could look. Denhams remarks today don't reference any existing proposals or mechanisms.
(When we asked ICO for more information on her advocacy, its spokeswoman did not cite any technical proposals or implementations either historical or contemporaneous. She stated only that the G7 data protection authorities could have a significant impact on stimulating the development technological solutions to the cookie consent issue.
Denham's call to G7 seems a bit low on substance and high on noise.
In any event, the real elephant in the room is the absence of enforcement regarding cookie consent violations including by the ICO.
The question of how the UK will reform domestic laws in this area (post-Brexit), is another pressing concern, making Denhams timing seem opportune. It is difficult to understand the meaning of Denhams call as anything but opportunistically unclear at this point.
The UK's data protection reform will be closely watched by the adtech sector. They would be cheering loudly if the UK allows websites to use their personal data without Brits asking permission.
That would certainly be mission accomplished after all these years of cookie-fatigue-generating-cookie-consent-non-compliance by surveillance capitalisms industrial data complex.
Although it is not clear where the UK government will go, eyebrows should be raised by the ICO's statement today that it expects compliance to (current) UK law. This comes after it has repeatedly failed to address the adtech industry's role in cynically causing cookie fatigue by failing take any action against systemic breaches.
The glaring fact is that the ICO has avoided dealing with adtech data protection abuses for many years, despite publicly acknowledging that this sector is wildly out-of-control.
Instead, it chose to engage (read: appease) in a cringing manner that has left UK Internet users to suffer from cookie pop-up hell.
The regulator is being sued because it failed to act on a long-standing complaint about security abuses of people's data in real time bidding ad auctions without any evidence.
However, the ICO is not the only one to do so.
The EU regulators have failed to address systematic abuse of data protection rules in the bloc by the adtech industry. There are a lot of complaints, such as this one against IAB Europe's self-described transparency and consent framework, that still work, painstakingly through the many regulatory processes.
France's CNIL was probably the most active in this field last year, slapping Amazon.com and Google with $120M and $42M fines, respectively, for dropping tracking cookies without consent. (CNIL has not only taken on domestic adtech before you accuse it of being anti-American.
However, in Ireland, where many of the adtech companies are located, the lack of enforcement against this sector has allowed for cynical and manipulative consent pop-ups and/or meaningless consent to proliferate while investigations have failed and EU citizens have been forced into a consent experience that is now being (re)branded cookie fatigue.
Yes, even though the EU's General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) came into effect in 2018 and bolstering (in theory) consent standards.
The privacy group noyb has filed scores of complaints about cookie consent violations to force EU regulators. It also finds the time to present a technical proposal that could reduce cookie fatigue and not undermine data protection standards.
This is a shining example that action has not been enough to get the EU's regulators to take action on cookies. The bottom line is that EU citizens still need to consent to cookies being used, even though there has been some high-level discussion about the need for action about these annoying pop-ups.
While GDPR increased legal risk on paper, it is still a paper tiger without proper enforcement. It is also very tedious to push around lots of paper.
The majority of cookie pop-ups in the EU are privacy theatre. They create friction for web users, who have to respond to nags for data (typically to try and deny access repeatedly if they can find a reject setting).
Even worse, many of these ubiquitous pop-ups actively undermine the law (as numerous studies have shown), because they do not comply with the legal standard for consent.
The cookie consent/fatigue story is actually one of fake compliance that's being enabled by an enforcement vacuum. This vacuum now encourages the weakening of privacy standards due to such unpunished flouting.
This is an important lesson.
Fake consent pop-ups are easy to find when you surf the ad-supported Internet Europe. They fail to give users clear information about how data will be used, or offer people the option to refuse tracking without being punished (such as no/limited access or giving them the impression that they must accept to access the content). You can also manipulate a person's choice by making it easy to accept tracking, but much more difficult to refuse.
Sometimes, you will still find cookie notices that do not offer any choice to users. They just pop up to inform them that they consent to their data being processed. This is unless the cookies are essential to the provision of the website. (Europe's highest court has made it clear that consent is required for non-essential cookie.
However, it is easy to mistake cookie consent notices for Europe's data protection law. It seems that it demands all these meaningless consent popups which only gloss over a background data grab.
These manipulative patterns should have been stopped years ago by regulators.
Regulator failure is leading to political posturing. The ICO is now doing a double-back! Regulative pushes around the notion that some newfangled mechanism will remove all of this inconvenient friction.
Noybs ADPC is a great idea to address the many operational problems that surround the EU's cookie consent rules. We are sceptical about the ICO offering a quick fix for the regulator that has failed so dramatically over the long-running complaints.
The notion of cookie fatigue seems to be suspiciously conjured up. It is used as a convenient scapegoat for consumer frustrations with hated online tracking towards high privacy standards and away commercial data-pipes. This aligns with UK government's post-Brexit data priorities.
Worse, the whole consent pantomime that the adtech sector has engaged in aggressively to maintain a privacy-hostile model in spite of enhanced European privacy laws could end in real tragedy for user rights if standards are cut to appease law mockers.
Regulators and politicians should be angry at the systemic law-breaking that has hampered privacy-respecting innovations and non-tracking business models, and made it more difficult for businesses that don't abuse peoples data to compete.
Regulators and governments should not try to undermine the principle of consent. It is now possible, at least in the UK.
GDPR sets high standards for consent and if they are enforced rigorously, could result in reform of highly problematic practices such as behavorial advertising mixed with the out of control scale of programmatic advertisement.
We should be seeing privacy-respecting advertising as the norm and not an option at random.
Publishers have been unable to take action against adtech breaches and instead, they are not being motivated to change bad practices or end the annoying consent charade that keeps pop-ups popping up, sometimes with long lists of data-sharing partners (i.e. If you actually click through the dark patterns, it will help you understand what this claimed choice is.
This is not only a waste of time for web users, but it also presents the possibility of politically charged regulators deciding all this friction justifies giving data mining giants carte blanche torch user rights if they intend to get the G7 to send a collection invite to the tech sector to come up with practical alternatives. All because authorities like ICO are too risk averse in protecting users rights.
Dowdens comments last month suggested that the UK government might be using cookie consent fatigue to cover up its inability to lower domestic data protection standards.
The ICOs statement of today does not suggest that it would prevent such a move.
The UK government is now outside the EU and has stated that it believes there is an opportunity to de-egulate domestic data protection. However, it could find it difficult to comply with EU standards.
Denham's call to G7 includes some EU countries (the largest economies in the bloc), but she is also targeting these countries to encourage regulators to reach out to other jurisdictions without a comprehensive data protection framework. If the UK attempts to lower its (EU-based), high domestic data protection standards, it will put downward pressure on international aspirations to this area, as a counterweight for the EU's geopolitical ambitions of driving global standards up.
This is because there is an increasing awareness of the importance and security of online privacy, data protection, and information security.
Any UK attempt to lower data protection could also put pressure on the EU's high standards in this area. The regional trajectory would not be up, but down. This could give support to EU lobbyists who argue that such standards are detrimental to the global competitiveness and sustainability of European businesses.
Cookies or cookie fatigue might seem like a small issue, but the stakes in this tug-of-war over people's rights to what happens to their personal information are extremely high. | <urn:uuid:43ed8257-eb30-4bc0-8a76-ea08021690d4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://trueviralnews.com/45616-after-years-of-inaction-against-adtech-uks-ico-calls-for-browser-level-controls-to-fix-cookie-fatigue-techcrunch.html | 2024-04-25T08:10:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.95826 | 2,987 |
In a historic move, the South Korean Company LG Chem has agreed to create a $3.2 billion facility that will create 1,000 jobs in Tennessee.
Governor Bill Lee made the announcement in late November. He stated that this move marks the largest foreign investment in Tennessee history. It is a historic victory for the Tennessee economy.
This week, LG Chem announced the largest single foreign direct investment in TN history, creating nearly 1,000 new jobs for Tennesseans across the Clarksville community. TN’s unmatched business climate & skilled workforce continue to attract global companies to our state. pic.twitter.com/Pbz0H4tbfF
— Gov. Bill Lee (@GovBillLee) November 22, 2022
What Will the Facility Do?
The new LG Chem facility is a plant that will produce cathode materials, which are essential for electric vehicle batteries. Thus, this plant helps to bring Tennessee to the forefront of the ever-growing electric vehicle industry.
LG Chem shows great ambition. So they have plans to start construction on the factory in early 2023. The plant should begin production by the end of 2025.
The factory’s size allows it to produce an estimated 120,000 tons of cathode battery materials every year. That’s enough to create batteries for 1.2 million EVs (electric vehicles), making it the largest facility of its kind in the US.
Where and Why?
The facility’s new home rests in Clarksville in Montgomery County on farmland formerly owned by the Allensworth family. With 422 acres, active railroad service, and Tennessee Valley Authority substation, this plot has all it needs to become a new, powerful industrial sight.
Tennessee Economic Development Commissioner Stuart McWhorter stated that Tennessee did offer incentives to LG Chem to place their plant in Clarksville. However, the details of those incentives have not been disclosed.
This South Korean Tennessee teamup promises to create lots of jobs in the state and help to bring Tennessee to the front of innovative new industries. This marks a huge victory for Tennesseans even outside of Montgomery County. | <urn:uuid:1691b72f-d854-4c6b-92b5-a5730f42367f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://trulynashville.com/south-korean-company-invests-3-2-billion-to-create-1000-jobs-in-tennessee/ | 2024-04-25T09:05:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.936705 | 434 |

About this deal
When compared to the embarrassingly anaemic Street Fighter V, seeing a game that is so absolutely stuffed with content is great. It's not polished as Street Fighter V, but the gameplay is fast-paced and fun, and bound to keep your stomach full for a long, long time.
Last year’s entry into the Mortal Kombat series missed our review team at the time but I picked it up a little while after it came out and it was a real surprise. Following on from the global success of Mortal Kombat™ X, the game combines all the excitement and action from Mortal Kombat™ X with brand new content that isn’t available in the standard edition, allowing for more gruelling action and vicious fatalities. Set on a strictly 2D plane but with fully 3D graphics (a’la Street Fighter 4), the gameplay feels like classic Mortal Kombat fare. The cutscenes are well detailed and, if you execute the right button press sequences, you can determine what the outcome will be. Awsome Game, brings back lots of nostalgia and alot of new stuff to the table, great to play with a bunch of friends in the same room or online.It's not the greatest, nor the deepest, fighting game around, but it is gleefully gory fun for long stretches. My only gripe with it is the lack of stage variety, some stages look similar where they could have been a little more creative but that's the nitty gritty.
The fatalities in this game are so gory, that it make fatality moves from the last game look tame in comparison.I do enjoy this game a little more than the previous installment, mainly due to the more attractive character roster, I only found myself playing three of the characters last time because they were the only one's that appealed to me but hey ho! Mortal Kombat XL is the definitive version of one of the best fighting games of this generation and is well worth a look.
For the first time, Mortal Kombat™ XL introduces 4 new DLC characters into the mix along with a brand new environment, the Pit.
With improved netcode and all balance fixes NetherRealm has released so far, Mortal Kombat XL is nearly a flawless victory. It also has a single player story which I haven't played yet but from what I've seen it'll take you through cut scenes, telling a story with many fights in between depending on who you meet. These share a fatality move set unfortunately but it’s still a nice way to add some extra characters to the game. And not only do you not have to pay through your teeth for extras (at all) the games towers are updated with new challenges weekly.
Packed full of content and brimming with humour and gore in equal measure -well, probably more gore than humour to be honest – the game ended up being the best fighting game I had played in years, taking a thoroughly high production values approach to the gameplay of the early games in the series. It’s faster and fancier than most fighting games and has lots of fun little aspects to the gameplay such as the brutal X-Ray moves which can turn a fight for you and background interactions that also make things a little more interesting. WELL DONE MK XL this game is the most refreshing and the very least disappointing game I've bought in a long, long time. Aside from all the early DLC content (with characters like Goro, Jason Vorhees and Predator), you also get the second season pass pack which adds some very interesting characters. You'll most likely have to play as all the characters as well, somewhat forcing you to have a general handle of what each character plays like.Each character has different ending on the main tower, and beating your previous records are what make you come back to try the endless tower. They mention that the graphics and overall gameplay is great, and the multiplayer is really addictive. It’s one thing getting extra campaigns via DLC but when it is just characters and skins, it all feels a bit of a rip off to me. | <urn:uuid:08c85758-08ad-4d77-b5dc-aeb040bd0e03> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ttminihorse.com/closeout/mortal+kombat+xl+ps4 | 2024-04-25T07:02:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.9655 | 835 |
Armenian priests must leave Khudavang monastery – Mubariz Gurbanly
Baku/02.05.23/Turan: Armenian priests must leave Khudavang monastery, chairman of the State Committee for Religious Organizations Mubariz Gurbanli told reporters on Tuesday.
According to him, they have nothing to do with this Albanian monastery.
"I am sure they will leave the monastery. The Khudavang monastery is a monument belonging to Caucasian Albania," he said.
Recall that this monastery is located on a high hill in the Kalbajar region near the village of Vank. During the Armenian occupation, the monastery was restored with a distortion of its original appearance. The earliest building is an ancient basilica, dating from the 8-9 centuries.
After the liberation of these lands from occupation during the Second Karabakh War in 2020, the Armenian priests refused to leave the monastery and live there under the protection of Russian peacekeepers.
At the same time, they obstruct pilgrims from Azerbaijan, including Udin Christians, and do not recognize the legislation of Azerbaijan.
Only citizens of the country can engage in religious activities in Azerbaijan, and all religious structures are obliged to obey the central government in Baku. -16B- | <urn:uuid:69498155-a008-40e6-a652-b924de547409> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://turan.az/en/politics/armenian-priests-must-leave-khudavang-monastery-mubariz-gurbanly-765330 | 2024-04-25T07:35:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.961379 | 261 |

Charles did an amazing job fixing our garage door. Super nice and helpful.He managed to come the very same day we called him. After inspection, he provided several options, all reasonable prices. We chose to replace the lifter, he did it in no time, saving us the trouble of having the door broken over the weekend. He also cleaned up the area after the job.I would definitely recommend Charles and Madison Local Garage Door Pros.

Our garage door was squeaky and sluggish after an accident. Charles thought replacing the rollers would help. I was a little skeptical at first, because I thought the main issue was the warping of the old panels. But I’m very happy that I trusted him. The door moves smoothly and quietly now. He did a very nice job and I’m sure that I’ll call him again in case of future troubles.

15:57 08 Aug 23
Charles was a life saver! He knew immediately what was wrong and assured me that it was an easy fix. He fixed the cable - even stapled it to the upper wall- tightened the bolts and oiled everything too! It works perfectly now! Thank you, Charles!
01:12 07 Aug 23
Fantastic experience - they responded to my request for a quote quickly, were responsive when working through scheduling, and showed up on time. Will definitely work with them again!
21:23 02 Aug 23
Honest with quality work. Showed up on time and had very good communication
16:50 25 Jul 23
We needed weatherstripping for the garage and he had it on the truck and gave us the cheaper option that we could install and paint it ourselves. He was great.
17:39 24 Jul 23
The technicians were extremely kind and explained to me exactly what was wrong and how they could fix it. They also took the time to let me know about future issues I might encounter as our door is pretty old and what future work they’d suggest to avoid those when we were ready and able.
21:12 19 Jul 23
These guys were great - I had someone accidentally back into my garage door and render it inoperable (meaning I couldn't get my car out). These folks came out very quickly and scheduled a repair as quickly as they could. Additionally, the guys were polite, prompt, and very capable. Unreserved 5 stars for them!
14:48 19 Jul 23
They were very helpful and gave feedback pretty fast about the issues with my garage.
19:21 18 Jul 23
Knowledge, Same Day Service, We would Definitely Recommend to other customers
20:27 10 Jul 23

13:38 22 Jun 23
Very professional and great to work with. They were quick and left the workspace nice and clea. The new garage door looks great! They also went above and beyond and helped me get my garage door opener all fixed up again too.
15:30 21 Jun 23
Great guys and very good work. Happy to have had them in to fix the issues with both my doors. Don't call anyone else!
18:35 16 Jun 23
They were professional, fast and did a great job

23:01 01 Jun 23
Taylor fixed the problem and told me what else needed to be done. I appreciate his input and honesty!
19:40 01 Jun 23
They were able to come check out my issue the same day I called. Taylor was very nice. He walked me through all the options available to fix my issue and I decided to get a whole new door which he was able to complete the following day. He went over some simple maintenance I can do myself a few times a year that will keep things lasting longer, which I really appreciated.
12:37 17 May 23
I had such a pleasant experience with this company last fall when my garage door broke and another company tried getting me for a lot of money for something that wasn’t even broken. This place was very honest with fair prices
16:16 16 May 23
Right on time for meeting up for the quote!
15:16 15 May 23
Great work by Charles and Taylor. Fair price and no up selling. They explained what was the problem and communicated well.
14:02 15 May 23
Charles was very nice, knowledgeable and on time to fix my garage door. I thought the price I paid was too high but I needed the work done that day so , what could I do? I am a first time customer and wish they would have offered a new customer discount to be more competitive with other local companies. I was in a bind and that would have helped me and left me feeling more of a valued customer.I would still use this service again in the future.
11:22 09 May 23
They were extremely professional, provided quality work, and offered to replace my garage door the next day due to safety concerns (old garage door did not close). I am a nurse and work long hours, and they were very accommodating to my schedule. A few days after installation, I had a minor question about the door. Again, they were very responsive and came back to make sure everything was to my satisfaction. I highly recommend this Team.
11:34 08 May 23
He came out quickly and helped me get my door back on track I think I'll be using these guys from now on 👍👍👍kudos to door pros
13:46 05 May 23
I can't recommend them enough! They did an excellent job entirely replacing several parts of my garage door and explained every step of the process.
13:02 04 May 23
Excellent response and they were extremely helpful in an emergency.
16:47 24 Apr 23
Got everything up and working right away! Great work and very nice people, thank you so much.
18:21 21 Apr 23

Charles and Taylor were very professional, efficient and friendly. Would recommend.
13:27 17 Apr 23
Taylor had his work cut out for himMy repair was a puzzling situation.Taylor not only solved my issue.He took the time to make sure the service was operational before he leftI'm very pleasedThank you Taylor!!!!
22:25 06 Apr 23
Had a random issue that the door would not close intermittently. I knew it was not a sensor issue. Twins was one company to call me right back for an appointment, and it was the next day! One other company did not call me back for 3 days.Charles was very patient, since of course, the door worked perfectly when he arrived and started. After about 10 tries, it showed up. Charles was very thorough in all of his checks and tests. In the end, it was isolated to a bad connection or board issue.Recommendation was to replace. After my research on the issue, and the costs, I concurred and called back later in the day. They were able to fit in the replacement the next day!All interactions with Charles and office were fabulous.Also note, these belt drive openers are SO much better than the commercial chain drive ones initially installed (Craftsman…)Highly Recommended.
16:11 04 Apr 23
Great service!! Arrived as scheduled and even texted to give me a heads up. Charles was great to work with and did not mind answering questions. Repair work was done quickly but not rushed. Would definitely use this company again. Very reasonably priced--compared to other friends that have had repair service to their garage door. Emailed the receipt so no paper used.
20:05 03 Apr 23
Great communication, did not hassle me for services I did not need or ask for, very reasonably priced, very personable!
13:52 03 Apr 23

17:18 30 Mar 23
Excellent customer service! Called at 7 pm for a next day appointment to replace a broken torsion spring and was told a technician would arrive between 7:30-8:30 am. Charles arrived right at 7:30 the next day. He was friendly and knowledgeable and was able to fix our door immediately.
20:35 29 Mar 23
Great experience- I highly recommend! Our garage door wasn’t closing well, got stuck often and we didn’t want to keep worrying that it wouldn’t shut at all. Charles came out, explained the problem clearly and options for repair, and gave a quote to fix it. We scheduled the maintenance quickly for a time that was more convenient. He came out, fixed and explained everything, and did some additional work to make sure that the garage door will run smoothly for a long time! Great service, great communication and reasonable price.
00:18 28 Mar 23
Definitely five star work!The technician was courteous, explained exactly what was wrong with my garage door and went above and beyond what needed to be done. They will always be my go to for any garage door issues. I also will be recommending Twins Garage Doors to my condo association.

Our garage door unexpectedly stopped working, and we called to have someone come out and look at it. I called in the evening, and Taylor was out the next day. He found the issue right away and was able to fix it. He was polite, courteous, and the service call charge was very reasonable.
15:11 16 Mar 23
They were very responsive and scheduled me for early the next day. Taylor showed up on time, fixed the issue, and cleaned up after. Excellent service.
13:24 16 Mar 23
Great service and install
02:17 10 Mar 23
I am thoroughly impressed with Local Garage Door Pros (Twins Garage Doors). They were quick to provide a reasonable quote, make multiple changes to it, and do the installation on time. The entire process was smooth with lightning quick responses to my questions/emails. Charles was wonderful to work with and very professional. A few days after replacing the door, I wrecked it. They were able to fit me the same day so I could take my car out in a couple of hours. I highly recommend them in the Madison area. Look no further!
16:37 07 Mar 23
Charles was fantastic. Personable, professional, fixed our issue, and made recommendations for work that may need to be done in the future. Furthermore, the price was entirely reasonable and the prompt service was very much appreciated. Would highly recommend!
15:49 03 Mar 23
Very friendly place. Liked all the updates and quick response to get the job done. Taylor was awesome. He answered all my questions and explained what everything was. And how much it might be. Very very friendly. Worked fast. Explained everything he had had done. And things I can do. Explained the bill and what it all was. Overall a amazing company and super friendly and helpful. Especially Taylor .Thanks guys for making that a easy-going fix!
21:11 01 Mar 23

20:12 01 Mar 23
Charles did an excellent job with my garage door quote and install! Very happy with the service, product, and communication.
00:56 01 Mar 23
Great experience was on time and honest about repairs and life of opener.
22:37 24 Feb 23
Brandon was great. He wasn't able to fix the issue, but it's the fault of a 20+ year old, badly designed garage door, not his. He explained the issue and my options. We'll be calling again once we're ready to replace the door.*Edit* A year later and still 5 stars. Called them Sunday when the garage door finally needed replacing. Charles was out on Tuesday to quote the job and replaced the door on Friday. Excellent work and quick service
19:18 16 Feb 23
Super fast and friendly service! Tried to repair but the unit was old and instead needed to be replaced. Gave great recommendations for how to proceed, which I ultimately followed. Purchased units from a local hardware store and they came back out to install them. Quick and easy! Strongly recommend.
23:16 14 Feb 23
Charles was wonderful and very knowledgeable.....he did a great job and if I ever have an issue again...I will be sure to use your company again!!!
22:31 13 Feb 23
Wonderful service, lovely young man.
20:17 13 Feb 23
They came and fixed our door quickly. They were very informative and polite.
19:54 13 Feb 23
Some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. If I ever decide to get a new garage door I will be contacting the Pros and asking specifically for Taylor to do the installation. He is top notch!
16:46 09 Feb 23
I’m very appreciate the job they done
15:44 06 Feb 23
Efficient and friendly. They got the job done quick on a bitterly cold day. Would definitely use again!
15:27 06 Feb 23
This company has FANTASTIC customer service. On a Sunday of all days we thought we needed to replace our garage door lift in very short order. We were able to talk to them directly and immediately. They answered all our questions over the course of many calls and were able to get us scheduled for installation within 24 hours. In the end it turned out we did not need the new lift and I almost wish we did because I want to support this great local business!
15:20 06 Feb 23
I had a garage door that wouldn’t close. Taylor came to my home within a couple of hours, gave me several options for replacing it, and even did a simple temporary repair to make it work again while I considered my options. I would recommend his company highly. | <urn:uuid:0538b4d7-b9d9-4272-80d8-e870a75168b9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://twinsgaragedoors.com/wi/reviews/ | 2024-04-25T06:40:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.978393 | 4,058 |
Beauty parlors need Great Customer Service to Be Successful
Running an effective boutique or magnificence shop implies you have an extraordinary learned staff as well as magnificent client assistance. It implies inviting them into your office with a decent hello and uplifting perspective. This implies not surging a customer out the entryway when they are done. Keep them there discussing whatever it is they have on their brains that day. The more they are in your salon the more adept they are to purchase salon items and for our situation Aveda items.
Set aside the effort to welcome them when they come in the entryway and put their jacket on the coat racks yourself and do not cause them to do it. Have an agreeable region for them to hang tight in the event that they need to for a brief time. Have a drawing in secretary in the holding up region to engage them of sorts. Offer them refreshment or a magazine that has current styles and tattle for them. Assuming you are outfitted with a TV, maybe offer them a channel they may appreciate like HGTV or E news.
At the point when they are in your beauty parlor seat set aside the effort to pay attention to them and what they need to escape the help. This is their opportunity to unwind so let them. This is not an ideal opportunity to reveal to them the entirety of your biographies. You can add Hair Salon Fort Lauderdale to make discussions however this is not your offer time. They have come to be spoiled and not become your specialist.
At the point when you cleanser their hair do not surge. You learned restorative back rub in cosmetology school so use it. Numerous customers love the manner in which an individual will trim their hair however feel deceived with regards to the shampooing. It is close to home touch that can represent the moment of truth your customer list. Additionally great client work force cooperation is significant.
So do not put your own vocation or business future hung up to dry on the coat racks of your salon. Set aside the effort to return to nuts and bolts and be the help business that hairstyling was made to be. Pay attention to your customers rather than them paying attention to you. Set aside the effort to give them additional spoiling and additional consideration. In our upsetting world they need it. What is more, you need it also to remain in business. | <urn:uuid:eca3e455-ee27-4899-8e0b-63bcc367d911> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ucesif.org/2021/beauty-parlors-need-great-customer-service-to-be-successful.htm | 2024-04-25T07:22:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.972616 | 482 |

Women’s History Month- The Challenges and Opportunities for Women in Cybersecurity
Written by Gigi Schumm, SVP World Wide Sales, ThreatQuotient
March is Women’s History Month with this year’s theme being “choose to challenge.” From a cybersecurity perspective, the number of women in this sector is increasing rapidly and it’s an exciting time to be part of this industry. However, that doesn’t take away from the challenges as studies show the number of women currently working in cybersecurity is only between 20% and 25%.
This article features the thoughts of three female leaders at ThreatQuotient, Celine Gajnik, Head of International Marketing, Chantelle Dembowski, Senior Director of Human Resources and Liz Bush, Director of Product and Partner Marketing. All three are at the top of their game and have been ‘choosing to challenge’ the status quo for years. Here they discuss their female role models and mentors, the future of cybersecurity, the advice they would give to women looking for a career in cybersecurity and how they are making a difference and driving change.
The importance of female mentors
For any job, having a mentor throughout your career to guide and advise you is important. However, in many industries, especially cybersecurity, it would seem that there is a lack of female mentors. This in turn presents a challenge for women in this sector as they have an absence of other women in leadership roles, who they can identify with.
But, Dembowski interestingly stated that she has been fortunate enough to have a female mentor in her previous job who helped her gain a good understanding of her professional strengths and weaknesses and who she still is in touch with today. She said “I’ve had more female mentors in the past and I would say now I have more male mentors. This is primarily because there are fewer females in senior positions at organisations to provide that mentorship, hence I’m definitely connecting with more males at a higher level.”
Likewise, Bush’s first mentor in her career was female, and was a great mentor and example to learn from. She comments: “The company I started out at was very male-dominated and my first mentor was the only woman I had any interaction with. She taught me ‘How to be the only woman in a very male-dominated area’. Going forward, in many of my jobs, I was in groups where I was the only woman, so her advice has really helped.”
Gajnik mirrored this notion, adding “ I think it does highlight that unfortunately today you still have more males at the executive and senior leadership level than females. Even at this point of my career, I have never had a woman as my boss.”
This highlights how the cybersecurity and tech sector is still very male-dominated and that having a female mentor can benefit women in their careers in terms of building confidence, enhancing skills, and setting achievable career goals.
The future of cybersecurity
More of our personal lives and business activities are being conducted online than ever, making cybersecurity a key issue of our time. Statistics such as the number of global ransomware hacks show increases of nearly 25% between 2018 and 2019 and 68% of business leaders feel their cybersecurity risks are increasing.
Hopefully, this increase in demand for cybersecurity globally will be reflected in an uptick in female employees and leaders within this exciting and innovative sector.
All three of our interviewees agreed that they love working in the cybersecurity space and find it a dynamic and exciting industry to be working in. Gajnik said, “ I find cybersecurity interesting and love that we are making a real impact. I feel there are no limitations when it comes to cybersecurity.”
Dembowski has worked across many other industries and thinks that cybersecurity is an ‘’innovative and groundbreaking place to be”. She continues by saying she doesn’t see herself changing industry anytime soon as “there’s so much opportunity in this particular industry and there’s an acceptance and a desire to have more diversity and an openness to different perspectives.”
Advice to women in the tech and cybersecurity space
As mentioned above, women working in cybersecurity still only make up between 20% and 25% of the workforce. However, this is a significant increase from previous years, for example, women only made up 11% of the cybersecurity workforce in 2017, showing that there is a drive for and an uptake in women moving into the industry.
Gajnik stated that women shouldn’t rule out the tech sector because they think it is ‘too tough’ or ‘male-dominated’ as women shouldn’t put barriers on their careers due to fear of embracing the unknown and any self-doubt. She highlights that, “you can have your place in different roles, you don’t have to be a developer or a threat intelligence analyst if that is not your aspiration, you can be part of this industry doing other roles.”
Dembowski advises women to “take risks and chances when you are young”. She believes that doing what makes you happy and not being afraid to follow your passion, even if this wasn’t part of your original plan, helps women to evolve, she adds: “We learn much more from our failures than our successes.”
Bush adds that women shouldn’t be afraid to take on new challenges and responsibilities as this is how we learn and grow professionally. Additionally, she advises that women “should not be afraid to give their opinions, as their point of view is just as valuable”.
Even though currently men outnumber women significantly in cybersecurity, we are seeing an increase in women joining the industry and asserting themselves within the profession. Going forward, as more women continue to succeed in this space they will undoubtedly serve as role models and mentors for other women. In turn, this will enable the workforce to become more diverse and help address the cybersecurity skills gap. In order to attract more women into the industry, organisations need to make sure this sector is rewarding and a welcoming career for anyone, whilst also understanding and addressing the workforce challenges this sector faces. | <urn:uuid:d7808f8a-bfa9-4043-ac70-672cb9b1d835> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://uk-business-news.co.uk/2021/03/25/womens-history-month-the-challenges-and-opportunities-for-women-in-cybersecurity/ | 2024-04-25T09:05:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.977853 | 1,289 |

The 1945 meeting between American President Franklin Roosevelt and Saudi Arabia’s King Abdulaziz, which laid the foundation for their nations’ enduring relationship, is often portrayed as an exchange of oil for security cooperation. But in reality, oil was hardly discussed. The conversation aboard the USS Quincy, afloat in the Suez Canal, focused on Palestine.
President Roosevelt told King Abdulaziz how the Jews of Europe had suffered indescribable horrors at the hands of the Nazis: eviction from their homes, destruction of their property, torture of their families, and mass murder. Could the king help with their resettlement?
The king replied that the Jews and their descendants should be given the best “lands, flocks and wells” of the Germans who had oppressed them. When the President said that the Jews did not trust the Germans and had no desire to stay in Germany, Abdulaziz replied that if the Allies did not think they could control the Germans, then why had they fought such a costly war? Certainly, he would never leave a defeated enemy in a position to strike back in the future.
When the President tried again, he received a similar reply: “Amends should be made by the criminal, not by the innocent bystander. What injury have the Arabs done to the Jews of Europe? It is the Christian Germans who stole their homes and lives. Let the Germans pay.” Had Roosevelt not dropped the issue, the meeting might well have ended acrimoniously.
Today, the relationship between Saudi Arabia and the Jewish people has once again come under scrutiny. A historic peace deal between Saudi and Israel has been put on hold since the outbreak of war in Gaza. And the week before last, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) called for an “immediate halt to Israeli military operations in Gaza”.
Yet Saudi leaders have always been pragmatists. Two years after the meeting on the USS Quincy, King Abdulaziz’s son, the future King Faisal, led the Saudi delegation to the United Nations, where he tried to prevent the partition of Palestine. He failed, and the United States successfully mobilised support for partition. But although King Abdulaziz was angry and disappointed by Washington’s recognition of Israel, he never threatened the American air base or oil concessions in Saudi Arabia. He placed too great a value on promoting regional stability and maintaining strong relations with the US to risk a diplomatic confrontation.
For most of the last 75 years, Saudi Arabia has tried to stay out of Arab-Israeli wars and promote reconciliation. In 1948, the Saudis contributed two companies of infantry, which fought under Egyptian command. In the Six-Day War of 1967, a Saudi brigade moved slowly towards Jordan, arriving only when a ceasefire was about to be declared. And during the 1973 Arab-Israel War, Saudi Arabia sent one brigade to join the Arab Foreign Legion with strict instructions not to become involved in the fighting. By the time it reached Damascus, the hostilities were over.
King Abdulaziz (1875-1953) was always more worried about his Hashemite rivals in Jordan and Iraq than about Israel. His son, King Faisal (1906-1975), regarded Gamal Abdel Nasser’s Egypt, not the Jewish state, as the greatest threat to his kingdom. And today, Saudis are far more concerned with threats from Iran and it proxies in Yemen and Iraq than they are with Israel.
After the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, Arab leaders met in Khartoum, where they adopted their reflexive “Three Noes” with regard to Israel. “No recognition, No negotiation and No reconciliation.” With the exception of Egypt, this remained their unanimous, unwavering and unhelpful position for the next 15 years. Only in 1981 did the then Saudi Crown Prince Fahd (1921-2005) put forth a fresh proposal by which “all states in the region should be able to live in peace”. Fahd’s plan did not explicitly recognise Israel, but it implied that this was possible after the creation of a Palestinian state and a return to Israel’s 1967 borders.
That was a radical proposal 42 years ago. A watered-down version of Fahd’s plan was adopted in 1982 by Arab leaders meeting in Morocco. Known as the Fez Plan, it remains the Arab League’s policy to this day. President Ronald Reagan called it “the single largest step towards peace on which the Arab World has been able to agree”.
In 2002, then Crown Prince Abdullah (1924-2015) repeated the Saudi offer to Israel to the New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman: “full withdrawal from all the occupied territories, in accord with UN resolutions, including Jerusalem, for full normalisation of relations.” The following month Abdullah presented his plan to the Arab Summit in Beirut, where a modified version was unanimously adopted. The Beirut Plan differed from the Fez Plan in that it explicitly stated the conditions under which the Arabs would “consider the Arab-Israeli conflict over and sign a peace agreement with Israel”.
At both Fez and Beirut, the Saudi proposals were more forward-leaning than the eventual Arab consensus. In both instances, however, the Saudis led the effort by taking political risks and spending financial capital to convince other Arab leaders to go as far as they did. Neither proposal was fully acceptable to Israel or the United States. However, they remain the most constructive plans put forward by the Arabs to date. King Salman has reaffirmed them more than once.
On top of its own initiatives, Saudi Arabia has almost always supported American efforts to negotiate an end to the Arab-Israeli conflict. The only notable exception was its breaking off of diplomatic relations with Egypt in 1979 after President Anwar Sadat signed the Camp David Accords with Israel. Yet even when Riyadh followed the Arab consensus in severing ties with Cairo, the Saudis did not completely cut off financial aid to Egypt, or expel thousands of Egyptian guest workers from their country.
In 2020, the Trump Administration orchestrated the Abraham Accords, through which the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco all normalised relations with Israel. Riyadh implicitly supported the deal by allowing Saudi journalists to write op-eds praising it. It is unlikely it would have materialised had the Saudis strongly objected and Riyadh implicitly supported the settlement by allowing Saudi journalists to praise it.
In recent years, the benefits for Saudi of making peace with Israel have significantly increased, while the costs have appeared to decline. The latter were largely political: older Saudis who grew up with Nasser’s Arab Nationalism continue to regard unwavering support for Palestine as an essential part of their Arab identity. As the guardians of Mecca, the Saudis cannot ignore widespread sympathy for Palestine in the Muslim world. Nor can they remain indifferent to the status of the Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem.
Yet peace with Israel would be a massive boost to Saudi Arabia’s national security. It would improve Saudi Arabia’s relations with its most important security partner, the United States — and reduce opposition to those relations among the Saudi public. What’s more, peace would strengthen Saudi Arabia’s hand against Iran, which since the 1979 Iranian Revolution has challenged Saudi leadership in the Muslim World and sought to extend its influence in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Yemen. Despite the recent Saudi-Iranian rapprochement, Saudi and Israeli leaders still share many reasons to resist Iran’s pursuit of regional hegemony and nuclear weapons.
Saudi Arabia and Israel have another goal in common: suppressing radical Islamist groups such as al-Qaeda, Isis, and the Muslim Brotherhood. Like the Shi’a revolutionary government in Tehran, many radical Sunni Islamist groups seek to destroy both Israel and the Arab monarchies. Having suffered from numerous al-Qaeda attacks themselves, the Saudis understand the threat of jihadist militants. They have a long-strained relationship with Iranian-backed Hamas, as well as its junior partner, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Saudi authorities have arrested or deported Hamas supporters in Saudi Arabia and would quietly welcome the organisation’s demise. This gives Saudi Arabia and Israel further grounds for cooperation.
The two nations also have economic interests in common. MBS has staked his political future on the success of Vision 2030, an ambitious development programme that aims to diversify his economy away from oil. But his reforms won’t succeed if the Middle East is consumed by a major war, and therefore it is in his interests to promote lasting peace with Israel.
Furthermore, to succeed, Vision 2030 will require foreign direct investment, technology transfer, increased non-oil trade, and even more tourists — all of which Israel has in abundance. Another goal of Vision 2030 is the creation of a local defence industry. Saudi Arabia has a defence budget larger than Britain or Germany, but today nearly all its weapons and military equipment are imported. The new General Authority for Military Industries wants to change that — and Israel, with its sophisticated defence industry, is well-placed to help.
Ironically, the terrorist attacks of October 7 have made a Saudi-Israeli peace deal both more desirable — and even more difficult. Those who thought that regional peace could be established without addressing the plight of the Palestinians have been proven wrong. Instead, pro-Palestinian sympathies have been reignited across the Muslim world. It is now unthinkable for any Saudi leader to embrace peace with Israel before meaningful progress is made towards establishing a Palestinian state.
With the terrorist attacks of October 7, Hamas has managed to derail efforts to establish Saudi-Israeli peace. And yet, Saudi Arabia and Israel remain united in their desire to avoid a larger regional conflict, eliminate terrorism, and reinvigorate that peace process. The case for rapprochement remains compelling and their leaders remain interested in it. But in an increasingly multipolar world, it will require a determined, coordinated, multinational effort to comfort the injured, reassure the fearful, calm the angry and remove the remaining political obstacles to peace. | <urn:uuid:2708482b-31fb-4cad-aae6-24fb0039391b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://unherd.com/2023/12/why-mbs-wants-peace-with-israel/?=refinnar | 2024-04-25T09:16:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.964726 | 2,056 |

Diagnosing Shoulder Labral Tears
NYU Langone doctors are experts at diagnosing shoulder labral tears. The labrum is fibrous form of cartilage that helps keep the ball at the top of the humerus, or upper arm bone, in the shoulder socket.
The labrum is shaped like a ring and is located around the rim of the shoulder socket, also called the glenoid. The cartilage helps to deepen the glenoid and stabilize the shoulder joint. There are several types of shoulder labral tears, including some that cause the shoulder to dislocate. Tears may be partial, causing fraying of the labrum, or complete, with the labrum detaching from the bone. Tears can also involve different portions along the circumference of the labrum.
Shoulder labral tears can occur when pitching a baseball, throwing a football, spiking a volleyball, or another action involving quick overhead arm motions. A tear may also occur from a blow to the shoulder or from a fall. General wear from years of use can also make the shoulder labrum more susceptible to tears.
Shoulder labral tears may cause pain in the joint while you are performing overhead activities such as placing items on a shelf or playing sports such as basketball or tennis. You may also experience a grinding or popping noise as your move your shoulder and a decreased range of motion and strength. Untreated shoulder labral tears can lead to joint degeneration, pain, and future shoulder dislocations. Sometimes tears don’t cause any symptoms.
A shoulder labral tear is typically diagnosed through a physical exam and imaging tests.
During a physical exam, your doctor asks about your symptoms and physical activities and checks the range of motion, pain, and tenderness in your shoulder. Your doctor may also listen for any grinding noise in the joint as you move your arm, which may be indicative of a shoulder labral tear. Finally, your physician performs special tests to provoke a symptom response, which helps determine what is torn in your shoulder.
Your doctor may order an MRI scan to determine whether you have a shoulder labral tear or another type of injury causing your symptoms, such as a fracture or torn rotator cuff. The scan may be accompanied by an injection of contrast dye into the joint to help detect injury to the shoulder labrum.

This ice female wind ability user was only in her twenties, she looked anxious when she mentioned the little boy, she was probably his sister.
After guessing the relationship between her and the little boy, he didn’t pay attention to the ice female ability user, after all, no one wanted to answer questions nicely while being eyed by a group of people, especially since he was still a strong person.
Ye Tianyi ignored the group of people below and carelessly stroked little leaf’s tail without a care.
But this kind of uncaring attitude of his infuriated the group of people below.
Eight people, five ability users, and the remaining three were their relatives. In the face of this end-time calamity, one could imagine how arrogant these unusually powerful ability users were in their treatment of the others.
No matter what their status was before the end of the world, since they had awakened their abilities, they, the powerful ability users, were the equals, different from those mortals who had no abilities. This kind of thinking expanded day by day, and the days of smooth sailing also made them more and more arrogant.
So when they were dissatisfied with Ye Tianyi’s disregarded attitude, that ice ability user shot up an ice cone without saying a word.
It was naturally unusual for her to be able to become the leader of the group of ability users, her ice ability had advanced to first-grade, much stronger than the other supernatural powers, so she was also more arrogant.
She had been so nice to Ye Tianyi before, because Ye Tianyi was handsome, and even more so because she felt that Ye Tianyi should not be an ordinary person, otherwise he wouldn’t be so calm when he saw the ability users and zombies, that was why she decided to befriend him. But after all, he didn’t have enough power, and just being ignored by Ye Tianyi, she couldn’t hold back her anger anymore.
Perhaps, she also felt that if Ye Tianyi was also an ability user, she could beat him into submission so that she could take him in.
Faced with the ice cone that whistled over, Ye Tianyi didn’t even look at it squarely.
He just hugged little leaf in his arms and then rolled over and jumped down from the second floor.
The eight people were shocked by his action and thought he was jumping in a panic to avoid the ice cone. But seeing Ye Tianyi’s calm expression, no one really believed that he was panicking.
Sure enough, Ye Tianyi landed on the ground very lightly. Then he threw the cat in his hand forward towards the ice female ability user, and the petite white cat’s body became incomparably huge in the blink of an eye, and then he raised his fleshy claws that had become hundreds of times bigger towards the ice ability user and slapped her to death under his claws.
As for those ability users who wanted to come over to help save the others, they were all killed by Ye Tianyi’s lightning ability, leaving one remaining wind ability user to flee towards the outside, leaving his companions behind.
The wind abnormality had an addition to his speed, so he escaped very quickly, Ye Tianyi also suddenly played with the idea of testing how fast he was, so he didn’t use his ability and chased after him with his own speed.
Ye Tianyi had suddenly caught up so fast that the wind ability user was caught off guard and was scratched by his claws, but at the critical moment, the wind ability user actually leveled up and increased his speed by another level, escaping Ye Tianyi’s hands.
Ye Tianyi who was caught by surprise was slightly stunned and then quickly chased after him, only to discover that the wind ability user had suddenly stopped before he had taken two steps.
“Hehe-” the wind ability user stopped, his face turned blue-gray, his body stiffened up, and the smell of decay emitted from his body, obviously he had mutated into a zombie.
Ye Tianyi stood there looking at the nail on his right hand that had just scratched the man, and then a lightning bolt fell on the newly mutated zombie’s head and electrocuted it into charcoal.
This zombie was almost immediately electrocuted by Ye Tianyi’s lightening bolt, not able to resist, worse than an ordinary human.
This was noticed by Ye Tianyi, and he recalled that when he had just mutated and released his lightning ability to kill the zombies, the other zombies were very afraid and stayed away from him, were the zombies very afraid of the lightning?
The thought only spun around in his head for a moment before he put it to the back of his mind and walked over to stomp on the zombie’s head.
The zombie had mutated from a wind ability user, it should also have that delicious exotic ball in its brain.
Ye Tianyi rummaged through it and indeed found what he was looking for in its brain, but it wasn’t like a small ball, but an angular crystal nucleus.
Could it be that when an ability user mutated into a zombie, the ball in its brain would mutate into a crystalline nucleus?
The crystal nucleus wasn’t as tempting to him as the ball, but Ye Tianyi still wanted to check what the nucleus tasted like.
So he beckoned to little leaf, who had just swallowed an ice-based ball, “Little Leaf, come here.”
Little Leaf transformed back into a small cat, rushed to Ye Tianyi’s bosom and lovingly licking his face.
Ye Tianyi smiled involuntarily and said, “Help me clean my hands and this crystal core.”
It was fine if he hadn’t recovered his sanity and was muddled before, but now he was recovering his sanity and most of his memories, so of course he couldn’t bear to put the dirty crystal core in his mouth.
Little leaf obediently spat out a large water ball from his mouth, enveloping Ye Tianyi’s dirty hand and the nucleus in it, and quickly cleaned it for him.
The crystal nucleus was a pale green prism, reflecting a beautiful light under the sunlight.
Ye Tianyi put the crystal nucleus in his mouth and found that it was much more difficult to chew than the exotic ball, but it was good that it wasn’t big problem, it felt like eating nuts. He chewed the crystalline core and swallowed it, feeling that his abilities had grown a tiny bit more, although the growth was not obvious, it did grow.
The crystals were just as effective at increasing the strength of his abilities as the balls, except that the crystals were not as attractive to the zombies as the ball was.
The ball was like a delicacy to zombies, while crystals were like tasteless white rice to them.
Both could fill their stomachs, but zombies that only relied on their instinctual attraction to chase after food generally preferred the balls.
But there was another problem that made Ye Tianyi confused, Little leaf was an Ice and water ability user so he could only eat Ice and Water balls or crystal nucleus, he himself had lightning, Space and mental abilities, why could he increase his ability even if he ate Wind crystal nucleus?
He also didn’t feel that consuming other exotic balls of different abilities had any effect on his abilities, it was all normal.
But while this normal was good for him, he wanted to know the mystery of it, and still felt less assured without pursuing the root of the matter.
While Ye Tianyi was pondering this question, he suddenly felt a very alluring smell appear upstairs, like the taste of an exotic ball, but it was much more deliciously seductive than that, causing his eyes that had turned black to flash red again…. | <urn:uuid:c17534d5-6f21-4aa8-97f1-8b963937d200> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://untamedalley.com/bl/cwateotw/c14/ | 2024-04-25T08:43:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.993556 | 1,647 |

The Vaporesso XROS is a pod-style device that was designed to provide some competition for Uwell’s Caliburn. In many ways, the XROS tops the Caliburn. You’d get a larger battery, two different coils, refillable pods, adjustable airflow, and the same portable form factor. What more can you ask for? The XROS is certainly one of the best e-cig starter kits you can buy today!
The dimensions of the Vaporesso XROS are 112mm by 12mm by 23mm. The pod is small enough to fit in your pocket and walk around without any issues. The device is coated with corrosion-resistant SUS304 stainless steel, and it looks like brushed metal. The device comes in different colors, including purple, green, gray, gold, silver, matte grey, blue, sky blue, rainbow, and rose pink. The pod is made of eco-friendly PCTG material, and it is leakproof.
The pod that comes with the Vaporesso XROS can hold 2ml of e-juice. There are two pods in the package, and although they have the same capacity, they come with different coils. One of the pods holds a 0.8ohm vertical mesh coil. The other has a 1.2ohm vertical mesh coil. You can use this e-liquid to vape either nic salts or freebase nicotine e-liquids. To refill the pod, you need to remove the mouthpiece. The refill hole is large, and it has a membrane in it to prevent e-juice from spilling out.
Unlike most pod devices on the market today, the XROS actually comes with adjustable airflow. On the back of the device, you will find three airflow holes and the control button. You can slide the button to the right to close off some of the airflow holes and get a tighter draw. The adjustable airflow design of the XROS makes it easy to customize your vaping experience. The draw is tight and smooth.
The vapor production of the Vaporesso XROS is quite remarkable. You will get thick clouds of vapor from every puff. Also, the flavor intensity is perfect.
The XROS comes with an 800mAh battery, which is quite impressive for such a small device. The battery can probably last you for a full day. The device supports fast-charging to get it powered up really quickly. The USB port is located under the device.
The only button on the device is the firing button. There is an LED light under the button. It flashes when you take a puff and when you attach the pod. The LED serves as a battery life indicator. It shows green when the battery level is between 100 percent to 70 percent. The light changes to blue when the battery level is between 70 percent and 30 percent. It becomes red when the battery level is 30 percent or below.
To power up the XROS or turn it off, you need to press the firing button five times quickly. The device has a dual firing mechanism. You can choose draw-activated firing or press the firing button whenever you take a puff.
The Vaporesso XROS is a beautiful device. You can get it for as low as $29.9 at the Vaporesso online store. | <urn:uuid:f8e0f724-d9da-4c79-83f7-512c5568478f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://vapordigest.com/vaporesso-xros-pod-kit-review/ | 2024-04-25T08:03:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.949142 | 691 |

Step into the office pantry, and you’ll be privy to a curious blend of tales – a cocktail of exhaustion and pride. Your colleagues will regale you with stories of their high-octane workdays, the minutiae of meetings, the ins and outs of client interactions, all while sipping on their third cup of coffee like it’s an elixir of life. It’s clear that many view their demanding jobs as battle scars, badges of honor, and a testament to their unwavering dedication and undeniable success.
In recent years, the term “workaholic” has undergone a peculiar transformation. It’s evolved from a cause for concern to a pat on the back, with individuals flaunting their work-related struggles as badges of honour. But, you might wonder, is this workaholic culture all it’s cracked up to be? And just how can HR address the unhealthy fetishisation of overwork that seems to have seeped into the lives of our dedicated employees?
Why the Workaholic Bug Bites
So, why do people willingly become workaholics? Well, it turns out there are a few common culprits.
- Expectations from Others: Workaholics often push the boundaries, laboring far beyond what’s reasonably expected by their organization or society. There’s this pervasive belief that the harder you toil, the more you achieve. The result? A detrimental mindset that forces people into a never-ending cycle of trying to prove themselves through long hours.
- Personality Traits: Some personality traits are more likely to land you in workaholic territory. Extroverts yearn for social validation, which often leads them to overcommit and blur those all-important boundaries. Perfectionists are prone to stressing over every little detail, and they struggle to delegate tasks. And then there are the narcissists, who pile on work to craft that ideal image they want others to see. It’s a heady mix that leads to overworking and under-sleeping.
- Over-Motivation: Not all workaholics are toiling out of sheer passion. Many are just driven by an insatiable urge to work, even if they’re not particularly thrilled about their jobs. They can’t seem to let go of work, even on vacation, and the mere thought of not working triggers anxiety and guilt.
- Unhealthy Working Environment: Toxic workspaces play a major role in nurturing workaholic behaviors. When your boss is dishing out impossible workloads, projects with merciless deadlines, and a reward system that practically worships late-night office hours, it’s no surprise that people find it hard to switch off. The idea of going “off-duty” becomes a joke, with employees shackled to their work-related messages at all hours, even the unholy hour of 3 a.m.
So, what can HR do to break the cycle of workaholism and bring back some semblance of work-life balance?
- Grant Autonomy: Give employees a bit of breathing room. Instead of piling on stress and unrealistic workloads, be the supportive boss who encourages autonomy. It can do wonders for their morale and help create a productive workspace that doesn’t send everyone into overdrive.
- Clock-Watching: Keep an eye on those working hours. You see, while your boss might want to get the most bang for their buck, there’s a limit to how much one can work without burning out. Periodic evaluations can help maintain a healthy work environment, where everyone can meet their goals without surrendering their sanity.
- Interview Insights: In interviews, avoid applauding candidates who pledge their eternal devotion to work. Instead, look for individuals who excel in their roles but also value work-life balance. Communicate your company’s culture and ethos clearly, so there are no illusions about what it takes to thrive in your workplace.
How to Kick the Workaholic Habit
And if you’ve found yourself caught in the workaholic trap, remember that studies have shown workaholics tend to suffer from poor sleep, depression, and even an elevated risk of heart disease. Plus, they’re not exactly poster children for life satisfaction.
To break free, set those boundaries between work and your personal life. Rekindle your interests, reconnect with those people you’ve been neglecting, and rediscover the joy of living. After all, as the saying goes, “Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.” | <urn:uuid:8803afef-4147-4174-965d-b8832da9578f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://veiramal.com/2023/10/are-you-a-workaholic/ | 2024-04-25T07:06:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.946882 | 962 |

Art Therapy is a dynamic, exciting alternative to traditional 'talk therapy'. Because, as infants, images came before language, art can access the deepest parts of us that go beyond language. By exploring these visually, we can speed up the process of working through current challenges and develop exciting new insights about our life. Art Therapy is not about creating an art product, but is all about the process of what happens internally while creating art.
ANZACATA, the peak body for Creative Arts Therapists in Australia defines Art Therapy as "an experiential psychotherapeutic approach utilising arts modalities within a relationship with a trained therapist, attending to emotional, cognitive, physical and spiritual wellbeing." See https://anzacata.org/About-CAT for more info.
For adults, we usually begin with a short meet & greet call. Here you can learn what it will be like working together with me, and I can learn more about your focus issue for our sessions.
Your first session begins with some information gathering as we build rapport and create a framework of safety for sharing. Here, as I introduce you to Art Therapy and the materials, I'll also get a sense of what you'd like to work on. Together, we will set clear therapy goals and an overall timeframe. The deeper exploratory work begins In the following sessions.
Through subsequent sessions, we explore, expand, and understand your challenge and experience, unpacking these through art-making. This process brings you new awareness and insight as we make meaning from it together; throughout this process I will guide your journey, helping you make sense of your inner world.
Once you believe you've reached a sense of integration, resolution and have a new perspective of the issue in your life, we review the themes and process of working together, and through some final art-making will bring a sense of completion to our working relationship and the progress made.
For Children, the process is similar but simplified. Children intuitively bring their concerns into art making without prompting, and I use the process of art making to bring in the goals I set with parents around emotional regulation, increased flexibility, problem solving, self improved esteem, etc.
Absolutely! I work under the Other Therapies NDIS line item, and you can request Art Therapy from your Plan Manager however, you don't specifically need Art Therapy in your plan.
Because your self expression is unique, together we will work to help understand and make meaning from what you have expressed visually. I will be your guide through the reflection process and your own culture and background will help you make sense of the work.
Art Therapy is not about creating something recognisable or artistic, this won't hang on your wall. Art Therapy is about expressing something in a visual way that goes beyond the traditional "talk therapies". You can decide what to do with whatever you make - even destroy it at the end of the session if you wish. There is no need to be artistic - in fact - you might even find it easier to engage in the process if you aren't, as there is less internal pressure to form a valued end product.
Experiences of trauma, either from a single event or complex trauma, is one of the main reasons people seek therapy. I am trained in Trauma Informed Art Therapy methods, and can support you using a range of techniques, many involving non-verbal methods to help you express where your body is currently stuck in trauma patterns. A certain amount of verbal processing can be helpful also, but the primary aim is to move from nervous system dysregulation (fight/flight/freeze/fawn) into a healthier state of flow.
Trusting therapeutic relationships take time to build a foundation on which to process trauma through Art Therapy. I will make sure that you are in a place where you can manage strong, difficult emotions safely before beginning any deep trauma work. Effective Therapy takes time and strong foundations of safety and resources need to be built first.
I offer a sliding scale for clients who are in financial difficulty and we can plan a short series of sessions to target the specific goal you have. Art Psychotherapy is best suited to longer term working relationships where there is space to work at deeper levels; short term interventions can also be helpful.
Your child needs to feel able to bring anything to Art Therapy. Asking your child, "How was it helpful today?" is more beneficial than asking "what did you make/do in Art Therapy today?"
Sometimes parents are concerned that their child will not settle with an unfamiliar adult, and want to join them in the therapy space. I find that once children see the art materials, they are engaged immediately, and there is no separation anxiety.
Parents may stay just while the child gets settled, but children behave quite differently when parents are not present, and it's important for the child to feel able to share without concern of how their parent may react. Sometimes the art making is messy and unorthodox—parents can struggle to stay uninvolved, so it is best to wait for the child outside the therapy room.
If a child requests their parent come with them into the session, I always allow and support this, and ask the child if they would like their parent to do artmaking alongside them, or observe nearby. When the child wants the parent to join in alongside them it is often because they see the opportunity for quality focussed time with that parent, and I take a supporting role in facilitating this connection.
The therapy space is confidential, even for children, but with a few exceptions which I explain to the child and parents in the first session.
In order to give parents some idea of the progress their child is making and the themes that are arising in their sessions, I send a brief update email after each session to give parents some general themes of the session. This enables parents to better support their child in these areas of concern.
I encourage parents to give any updates by email or at the beginning of their child's session if necessary, and I do regular review sessions with parents to provide support and updates. These sessions are charged at the usual hourly rate.

23 Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him,
Now the apostle applied the illustration about Abraham and justification by faith in verses 23 to 25. These verses conclude the justification by faith alone section of Romans.
23 Now it was not written for his [Abraham’s] sake alone
The word “now” shifts to application of what has gone before in the chapter.
God did not write truths about Abraham for him alone. He wrote it for all to understand that justification is solely by faith.
that it was imputed to him,
The word “imputed” means to credit, to reckon. The basic idea is to calculate. This is the doctrine of imputation. God put His righteousness in place of our righteousness for a perfect standing before Him. We calculate this to be true. Notice how many times chapter four argued this point. The same object of belief that reckoned Abraham righteous is the one that accounts us as righteous as God is righteous.
God’s Word has universal application to all people of all time.
God’s Word applies to all people of all time. The principles of the Word of God do not change. What was true for Abraham (who lived almost 2,000 years before Christ) or Paul (who lived in the first century) is also true of us.
Ro 15:4, For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
God’s justification of Abraham is the same process by which He justifies all people of all time. It is the same way He justifies us. We can count on His Word for this.
The Word of God is the foundation of our assurance. There is no need to fear loss of our salvation or doubt that we possess it in the first place. If we trust self, there can be no assurance of salvation. If we claim the promise of God, we can have full assurance. This is why God gave us the Word.
1 Jn 5:10-13, 10 Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son. 11 And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God that you may know that you have eternal life. | <urn:uuid:19d14fae-40e8-4814-80a7-6fd59949679a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://versebyversecommentary.com/2011/06/11/romans-423/ | 2024-04-25T08:46:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.979523 | 545 |
8 Best Practices for Financial Crime Compliance
Share this article on
According to PwC's Global Economic Crime and Fraud Survey, 51% of organizations have experienced fraud on e-commerce platforms. The finding indicates the prevalence of financial crime, especially online.
Fortunately, there are some FCC best practices you can do to ensure your business and clients are well protected against financial crimes, fraud, and exposure to other risks. Read on to learn how.
What is Financial Crime Compliance?
Financial Crime Compliance refers to the measures and regulations that financial institutions and other regulated entities must follow to combat and reduce the risk of financial crime and illegal activities against their business.
Ensuring your business has an effective FCC can play a part in creating a space that discourages criminals from conducting illegal financial activities.
Global Requirements for Financial Crime Compliance
The requirements for Financial Crime Compliance are affected by the laws and regulations that the business resides in. There are, however, international requirements that apply worldwide, which can impact the processes implemented.
The key components of FCC:
1. Bank Secrecy Act (BSA)
The Bank Secrecy Act can also be referred to as the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act (CFTRA) created to spot financial crimes as they occur. This mandates financial institutions to collaborate with the US government when money laundering activities are suspected. Cash transactions that exceed $10,000 must be reported by banks and assist the US government in detecting and preventing illegal activities.
2. Know Your Business (KYB)
Know Your Business is an extension of the Know Your Customer (KYC) process and is increasingly recognized as a critical component in the broader framework of Financial Crime Compliance. KYB specifically refers to the due diligence processes used by financial institutions and other regulated entities to verify the legitimacy of other businesses they engage with, particularly in B2B relationships.
This can be significantly useful for risk management, and encourage transparency and accountability in transactions — especially with foreign transactions.
3. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Compliance
Anti-money laundering compliance measures involve employing procedures and laws designed to prevent criminals from disguising illegally obtained funds as legitimate income. This includes monitoring customer transactions, reporting large cash transactions, and reporting suspicious activities to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
4. Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF)
Similarly to AML, CTF measures aim to prevent, detect, and report terrorist financing activities. This involves scrutinizing transactions that may not be large but are unusual or have no clear economic purpose.
5. Transaction Monitoring
Monitoring customer transactions falls under AML compliance and aims to identify patterns of suspicious behavior. This can involve the use of sophisticated software algorithms and AML transa.
Financial Crime Compliance vs Financial Crime Risk Management
Financial Crime Compliance and Financial Crime Risk Management (FCRM) are closely related concepts in the finance industry. They do, however, focus on different aspects of managing financial crime. Knowing their distinctions can help implement strategies effectively to mitigate financial crime risks.
Financial Crime Compliance
The objective of FCC is to prevent the financial system from being exploited for illicit activities such as money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, bribery, and corruption.
Its key functions include adhering to Anti-Money Laundering Compliance, and CTF regulations. In effect, implementing KYB and KYC processes, trade and economic sanctions compliance, as well as reporting suspicious activity is imperative.
Financial Crime Risk Management
FCRM takes a broader approach by focusing on identifying, assessing, managing, and mitigating the risks associated with financial crimes. FCRM is concerned with the ongoing risk assessment and analysis of a financial institution against crime.
This includes understanding the nature of risks, the likelihood of their occurrence, and their potential impact.
Types of Financial Crimes
Financial crimes encompass a wide range of illegal activities, typically involving fraud or dishonesty in financial transactions. These crimes can significantly impact individuals, businesses, and the global financial market. Knowing the different types of crimes can better inform the security measures businesses can employ.
The process of making illegally gained money from criminal activities appear legal. This often involves a complex series of transactions to disguise the original source of the funds that can come from structuring and smurfing.
This type of financial crime is a broad category that includes various deceptive practices meant to gain financial or other benefits. Examples of the different forms of fraud include:
- Investment Fraud: Misleading investors about a company's or investment product's prospects.
- Insurance Fraud: Falsifying claims to obtain insurance payments.
- Bankruptcy Fraud: Concealing assets to avoid having to forfeit them.
- Securities Fraud: Manipulating stock or commodities markets.
Purposely avoiding paying taxes that are owed falls under tax evasion. This can involve underreporting income, inflating deductions, or hiding money and income in offshore accounts.
Identity theft is an activity that involves using someone else’s personal information without their permission, typically for financial gain. This can include credit card fraud.
Bribery and Corruption
Offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting something of value for the purpose of influencing the action of an official in the discharge of his or her public or legal duties.
Cybercrime in Finance
Using computers and the internet to commit financial crimes such as online fraud and hacking into financial systems.
Best Practices for Financial Crime Compliance
Aside from using the right Financial Crime Compliance solutions, implementing these best practices for FCC is crucial for financial institutions and other regulated entities to effectively combat financial crimes. These can help prevent and detect money laundering, fraud, and other suspicious illegal activities.
1. Conduct robust risk assessments
Tailor your business's Financial Crime Compliance framework to the specific risks faced by the organization. This involves identifying, assessing, and understanding the various financial crime risks and applying more stringent controls to higher-risk areas.
Regularly conducting comprehensive risk assessments to understand and identify potential financial crime risks specific to the organization can go a long way. This should include checking for customer risk, product risk, geographic risk, and channel risk.
2. Implement effective KYB procedures
Implementing thorough KYB and KYC procedures to verify the kind of businesses and clients who you transact with can help minimize the chance of financial crime. This means, understanding their financial behavior and assessing the risks they pose for financial institutions matters.
Important factors that fall under the KYB and KYC procedure includes ongoing due diligence and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) for high-risk profiles.
3. Develop strong AML and CTF programs
Develop and maintain robust AML and CTF programs. This means embedding effective systems and controls to detect, prevent, and report suspicious activities. There are many AML solutions in the market today that can help ensure your processes are all-encompassing and thorough.
4. Use Transaction Monitoring Systems
Utilize advanced transaction monitoring systems to detect unusual or suspicious transaction patterns that could indicate money laundering or other financial crimes.
It's one thing to have your standard checks and risk assessment processes in place, however 24/7 transaction monitoring can prove helpful in detecting suspicious activities as they happen. A good transaction monitoring tool will be able to notify or alert you in a timely manner.
5. Conduct regular training
Conducting regular training for all employees can be greatly beneficial. This will help ensure they know financial crime risks, regulatory requirements, and their responsibilities in detecting and reporting suspicious activities. Equipping them with this knowledge can also streamline processes for proper reporting and regulatory compliance.
6. Work on independent audits and reviews
Conduct regular independent audits and reviews of your business's FCC program to ensure compliance. While this step isn't necessary, keeping this practice in place can help identify areas for improvement, speed up processes, and safeguard your clients and business growth.
7. Educate customers
Educating your customers about financial crime risks and prevention, particularly in areas like cybercrime and identity theft. You can do this by incorporating it into your onboarding process and conducting email campaigns that share this information.
In the long run, this enables them to report fraud or any other suspicious activities if this happens to them.
8. Keep track of trends
As technology continues to advance, criminals can adapt and evolve their methods for financial crime. Keeping track of financial crime trends can help you understand and mitigate these new threats, and ultimately improve your FCC program.
Ensuring Financial Crime Compliance
As financial crimes evolve along with technology, ensuring your business can adapt to these changes with the right Financial Crime Compliance practices will make all the difference.
Implementing best practices not only help in safeguarding the business's integrity and financial health but also contribute to the broader fight against financial crime globally. By staying informed of emerging trends and adapting FCC strategies accordingly, businesses can not only comply with regulatory requirements but also foster a more secure and trustworthy financial environment for stakeholders, clients, and financial institutions. | <urn:uuid:24b7f9bc-1d8a-486b-9538-9f3c9b10e20f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://vespia.io/blog/financial-crime-compliance | 2024-04-25T08:16:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.9337 | 1,829 |

IQ tests begin to assess this by measuring short- and long-term memory. They also measure how well people can solve puzzles and recall information they’ve heard — and how quickly!!!

On the longest day of the year in the Rhodopes
On the longest day of the year, when it is the summer solstice and the elements are in mutual harmony, we had a nice outing in nature and hiking with good friends and guests of Villa Classic Dospat. Our journey started from the Fountain Park, which is at the foot of Mount Kell Tepe and is located directly opposite the guest house.
We discovered the beautiful views of Dospat
From the park, we went up to the meadow with a unique panoramic view of the city of Dospat and the Dospat dam, and to the south you can see the last Bulgarian hills of the Rhodopes and the towering mountain behind them The sky with Mount St. Elijah or Bozdag, as it was called at the time.
Transition with nature and soil in mind
We didn't forget to take a picture on the lawn, with the soil in mind, to which we owe much of this beauty. The Indian mystic and yogi Sadhguru, founder of the movement SaveSoil reminds us, that according to the research of UN experts and scientists with the rates of deforestation,processing, erosion and deforestation, the soil will be used up for approx 60 years, which can be accepted, that they remain alone 60 years of life of many microorganisms, bacteria, animals and even at the highest link in this chain, man. Save Soil calls for action and preservation policies, restoring and preserving the soil and for our unborn children.
The road to Pochilena barchina peak from Dospat
From Mt Come on, we descended to the Coria(area above Overnight) and from there on the way we went down to Meizinova Cheshma, located a little outside the city on the main Dospat road – Batak next to Dospat dam. We replenished the provisions from the restaurant in Paci( caravan, which is on the very coast, opposite the fountain) and we hit the road- the ascent to the peak. Pochilena Barcina, one of the highest peaks in the area.
With the song of the birds and the gifts of nature, wild strawberries and mushrooms, the steepness felt easier, but still, we were stopping for a short break.
At the very top, we took some nice pictures and a video with a wonderful view of this part of the Rhodopes and Dospat dam. | <urn:uuid:90d74573-3805-4efc-9174-23405638c85d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://viladospat.com/prehod-dospat-keltepe/?lang=en | 2024-04-25T06:57:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.960421 | 507 |

With many protected lands in the area, we are able to support ecosystems suitable for many wildlife in the Perdido Key Area, a haven for more than 300 bird species.
Osprey: Known as Florida’s fishing eagles, ospreys have a distinct M wing shape and make their habitat near brackish estuaries where they can scan the surface for fish. Osprey mat for life- birds of a feather really do stay together!
Brown Pelican: A symbol of the Gulf Coast, the brown pelican is making a comeback. These water birds weigh 6-7 pounds and have a 7-foot wingspan. The pelicans fly as fast as 30 miles per hour and can often be seen perched on a piling in the bay.
Blue Heron: These graceful natives can be found along the shoreline hunting for fish. These birds have long legs and a long S-shaped neck.
Yellow-Breasted Chat: This lovely songbird prefers to spend its time in the dense brush, so it’s fun to finally spot it- especially since this area is not a common location. You’ll know the adult by its bright yellow chest and throat, white belly, and white around its eyes. Listen for the cheeps and whistles as a clue to its whereabouts during May and again July through September.
Gray Kingbird: These conspicuous birds will be hard not to notice if you’re visiting Perdido Key between April and October. Large-billed and vocal, gray kingbirds can be found along Florida’s coastline, waiting for large insects to fly by. They also eat other small vertebrates, including lizards and occasionally fruit. Look for these birds in mangroves and open coastal woodlands.
Roseate Spoonbill: One of Florida’s most distinguished wading birds, the roseate spoonbill is often confused with the flamingo because of its spectacular pink plumage. the main difference between this bird and the flamingo is its bill- flat and spatula-like. The bird uses this unique bill to feed on fish, crustaceans, and aquatic insects. Look for the spoonbill during May in coastal wetlands like those in Big Lagoon State Park.

Zero to hundred comes in as low as 5.7 seconds!
Jaguar Land Rover India has finally given their much popular sportscar, the F-Type, a new state-of-the-art four-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine. Thus, the enchanting British sportscar now hosts a variety of engine options to choose from, right from the entry- level 4 cylinder mill to the monstrous 5 litre supercharged V8 of the F-Type SVR, an all-weather supercar that can rush to as big a figure as 322 km/h.
The Ingenium mill has given the car a massive advantage on the kerb-weight front, chopping around 52kg off the car (mostly from the front axles), something that is well complemented by its lightweight Aluminium body. The 2.0 Litre turbocharged petrol motor putting out around 221 kW and the reduced body weight have both contributed to a more agile driving experience. Diligent tuning of the chassis has led to serious betterments in steering response, body control and ride comfort. The entry-level F Type gets a finely tuned active exhaust as standard, while the R-Dynamics trims feature a switchable active exhaust for an even more involving driving experience.
Rohit Suri, President & Managing Director, Jaguar Land Rover India Ltd. (JLRIL), told the media: “We are very excited about the introduction of the 2.0 l engine on the F-TYPE. This will make our sportscar brand more accessible to Jaguar fans and customers across the spectrum. Enthusiasts are sure to be thrilled by the appeal of this pure breed F-TYPE with its own unique driving character.”
How clever do you think, is this move of adding the Ingenium mill to the F-Type? Let us know through the comments …

Milk Thistle 500mg

Why you'll love it
Your liver is tired of taking one for the team.
Your liver is one of the hardest working and most important organs in your body. It’s responsible for filtering everything your body is exposed to from food, to drugs, to alcohol, and even environmental pollution. Isn’t it time we showed our liver a little love?
It’s more than a hangover cure!
So, what is Milk Thistle? Milk thistle is a plant that has been used for thousands of years in the practice of herbal medicine and Ayurveda for its anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anit-viral and even anti-parasitic action. These days, we see it used more as a hangover cure and to help detox the liver. If you are unfortunate enough to have accidentally consumed a death cap mushroom, fear not – Milk thistle is such a good detoxifier that it can reverse the poisonous effects of this lethal fungi (but please don’t test out this theory!)
It protects the liver.
There’s extensive research on Milk Thistle’s ability to protect the liver, especially from one of its most frequent attackers – alcohol. If you are a woman who regularly consume more than two drinks a day or 10 per week or a male who has three drinks a day or 15 per week, or are alcohol dependent, Milk Thistle should be part of your nutrition plan along with other supplements that your primary care provider may recommend.
It’s a powerful antioxidant.
Not only does Milk Thistle act as protector of the liver improving detoxification and digestion, it’s also a powerful antioxidant that works towards protecting the body from free radical damage. In clinical trials, it has been proven to reduce drug and alcohol related liver damage, cirrhosis, fibrosis and environmental toxins.
Why this formula?
How much do I really need?
If you are looking to use Milk Thistle as a supportive detoxification supplement from prolonged use of alcohol, acetaminophen, prescription medications, pollution or every day contaminant exposure, a standard dose of 1 capsule twice daily should do the trick, however, if you currently have significant liver involvement or advanced liver disease, we recommend you consult with your primary care provider as the dose provided here may not be sufficient to meet your needs.
Beneficial effects may take up to three weeks, so it’s important to take this supplement regularly and not just after a long weekend of heavy drinking.
Still not sure what you’re after?
Take our Health Assessment and let us help!
MILK THISTLE PER 1 CAPSULEAmount Per Serving
dried Certified Organic Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum, seed) standardized to 70 mg of silymarin
Non-Medicinal Ingredients: Hypromellose (Vegicap)
Recommended Use or Purpose: Milk Thistle herbal capsules are used to help support liver function and as a liver protectant.
Recommended Dose (Adults): Take 1 capsule up to twice a day.
Cautions & Warning: Bloating, diarrhea, fullness or pain, indigestion, laxative effects, loss of appetite and nausea may occur rarely in some individuals. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be avoided. Milk thistle may produce allergic reactions, which tend to be more common among people who are allergic to plants in the same family (for example, ragweed, chrysanthemum, marigold, and daisy). Stop use if hypersensitivity occurs.
As with any natural health product, you should consult your healthcare practitioner on the use of this product. Store product in a cool and dry place. Keep out of reach of children.

Susan and Patrick Stevens have been part of the Walker|West community since its earliest days. Their son Brian was a student and volunteer at Walker|West as a teen who needed a break from playing sports. Jennifer married into the Stevens family, and learned about Walker|West her first date with Brian. Their children (Elliott, Graham and Patrick) are now students of Walker|West having done recitals and camps with us. It’s safe to say, the Stevens are here to stay!
We checked in with the Stevens family, just as they pledged a $250,000 lead gift for the Walker|West Capital Campaign (which is currently underway). The Stevens feel a responsibility to invest in this music learning community, because they believe in Walker|West and want to honor what Susan calls, a heartconnection to our mission.
When Susan first heard Grant West’s music wafting out of Dayton’s, he happened to play a favorite song of her parents – this struck her right away. She needed to know more about the “2 guys teaching piano” on Selby Ave.
When Susan learned about how Rev. Walker & Grant West were revered community members, she could feel that Walker|West was a special place.
“Music is the language of the soul,” this is an adage Brian remembers seeing and hearing in his time as a student of Rev. Walker (and later Grant West). And while Brian is moved by our mission, he adds that “it’s the feeling inside the building that Rev. Walker & Grant West and so many others bring,” that makes the difference moving the mission forward. A mission and vision that has always been centered on impact for our neighbors, those near and far.
Susan’s consulting group signed on to help Walker|West create our first business plan in the early ‘90s. A plan that raised over $400,000 and helped move Walker|West to its next chapter at that time. As Walker|West is entering its next 30 years, the Stevens see this moment as a time to deepen their commitment as a family.
The large gift is unique among their charitable giving. It’s a stretch. But one they make enthusiastically, to support how our work is expanding and changing under leadership of Braxton Haulcy, our current Executive Director.
Walker|West’s teaching style is different from other places, Brian and Jenn agree. “It’s one thing to play and read music, they note, Walker|West offers something even deeper than that.” Jenn is a music educator, she studied music theory in college. As she recalls it, though she learned a lot the way she was taught theory didn’t live in her fingers or notes the way it does for Walker|West students. The sense of self expression, growth of confidence, interplay of chords and notes–not simply reading or doing pieces by rote, are things that stand out for Jenn and Brian.
Jenn notes the first time she came to a recital to see one of her children play. Recalling how our way of encouragement and support were unmatched. Students are often accompanied by teachers, which lifts the notes they know how to play, and turns it into something big! Family and friends sing along, calming any jitters that students may have. For Jen, this is a notable and welcome contrast from how she remembers recitals.
Music connects us, from East Saint Louis, to Wyoming, to Denver, to Mendota Heights, to Nebraska where Susan’s family is from. In uncertain times, music can communicate things we struggle to find words to process. Whether it’s our family singing show tunes when gathered together, or protest music carrying us through times of unrest – music comforts, heals, soothes and unites.
Along with healing, music sparks joy! We asked the Stevens family what they were most excited about for Walker|West and they had this to say:
Jenn: The idea for this gift started when we wanted to host a friendraiser to get all of our friends to experience what Walker|West can offer. Because of COVID we had to change those plans, and when the new building came up, a specific need
became more apparent. We’re excited to support the new building. And as an educator, I’m excited about the expansion of programming, especially early childhood music education!
Brian: The new building will really allow Walker|West to evolve and be more flexible in how it evolves. Music is changing. How people want to learn music is changing, like with digital music production. It’s such a great time for the academy. We wanted to
get in early, and we hope that others will join to help carry on the work of Walker|West into the next 50 years.

Join 1500+ go-to-market leaders, staying up-to-date with Warmly's weekly newsletters.
Form fills are a vital part of lead generation. They're your direct line to potential customers, collecting crucial information that helps you understand and cater to their needs. However, not all form fill providers are created equal, and it's essential to select the one that best suits your business needs, especially in terms of capturing abandoners.
Here's a curated list of the top 10 form fill providers:
- HubSpot: HubSpot is a powerhouse in the marketing arena. Its form builder is intuitive and integrates seamlessly with its robust CRM system. HubSpot forms are customizable and designed to capture leads effectively.
- Formstack: Known for its flexibility, Formstack offers features like A/B testing, and it integrates smoothly with numerous platforms. It's especially useful for businesses looking for a more data-driven approach.
- Wufoo: Wufoo offers a dynamic form builder with a range of features from file uploads to payment integration. It's a good fit for businesses that require more complex form fill functions.
- JotForm: JotForm, with its user-friendly interface and customizable templates, caters to both beginners and experienced marketers. It also provides advanced features like conditional logic.
- Typeform: Typeform, known for its interactive user experience, offers conversational forms that enhance user engagement. The result? A higher completion rate.
- Gravity Forms: Exclusive to WordPress, Gravity Forms provides a plethora of features, including file uploads, conditional logic, and even the ability to limit entries.
- SurveyMonkey: Though primarily a survey tool, SurveyMonkey also allows for effective lead generation forms. Its analytics capabilities can provide insights to optimize your forms further.
- Zoho Forms: As part of the comprehensive Zoho Suite, Zoho Forms provides seamless integration with other Zoho apps, making it an ideal choice for businesses already using Zoho software.
- Formsite: Formsite stands out for its secure data encryption and a multitude of integrations, making it a suitable choice for businesses prioritizing data security.
- Ninja Forms: Another WordPress-exclusive provider, Ninja Forms boasts an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, customizability, and a range of add-ons for enhanced functionality.
- Fillout: Fillout specializes in lead collection with features like address autocomplete, conditional logic, and native integrations with HubSpot, Airtable, and Salesforce.
According to a survey mentioned in an article on Medium, 81% of people recently abandoned at least one online form and most won't return to complete it. The reasons cited include security concerns and form length.
In this context, it's worth mentioning Warmly. Although not strictly a form fill provider, Warmly stands out by capturing those all-important abandoners, a group that often goes overlooked. This approach can be particularly beneficial given the high percentage of users who abandon forms before completion.
When a visitor starts filling out a form but doesn't complete it, potential leads can be lost. Warmly tracks visitor intent data, capturing information even from users who abandon the form, enabling you to follow up with interested prospects and increase chances of conversion.
Selecting the right form fill provider hinges on your business needs, the complexity of forms required, your budget, and the CRM or CMS platforms you're already using. Be sure to explore each option, and remember that capturing abandoners, as Warmly does, can make a significant difference in lead generation. | <urn:uuid:6a27b3c5-2184-453f-a878-70f258faf64f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://warmly.ai/blog/top-10-form-fill-providers-capturing-leads-even-when-they-abandon | 2024-04-25T07:04:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.93156 | 733 |
Russian model Irina Shayk, known for impassioned private stand has appeared in an exceptional interview with British Vogue in which she revealed about her personal life.

And being chosen by you @Edward_Enninful to be on the March cover of @BritishVogue, is an honor.

“Life without B is the new ground”: Irina
Irina opened up about her breakup with American actor and filmmaker, Bradley Cooper with a split in their four years of relationship. “I think in all good relationships you bring your best and your worst — it’s just the nature of a human being”. “Two great people don’t have to make a good couple.” “I think we’ve been very lucky to experience what we had with each other”. “Life without B is new ground.”
The couple are the parents of a 3-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper.
Balancing a single mom and profession
The 34-year-old also upheld the challenges of a single mom that she undergoing through recently.
She added, “It’s hard to find a balance between being a single mom and being a working woman and provider”. “Trust me, there are days I wake up and I’m like, ‘Oh my god, I don’t know what to do, I’m falling apart.'”
But you never know the strength of passion and confidence. Given the present situation, we might expect a huge turnover in her personal affairs over time.
