Syrian Islamists Control Christian Village of Maaloula, Nuns Taken From Monastery
Todd Daniels, Regional Manager for the Middle East with an ICC Representative
International Christian Concern
The ancient Christian village of Maaloula has again become the site of fierce fighting in Syria. A coalition of rebel groups, including the extremist al-Nusra Front, which has ties to al-Qaeda, attacked forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. After intense fighting over the weekend, they have taken control of the village. Twelve nuns and three other women from the Greek Orthodox monastery of Mar Takla were taken by rebel forces from Maaloula towards the border town of Yabroud, an International Christian Concern (ICC) contact in the region reported on Tuesday.
The monastery, which had previously housed 40 nuns and orphans, and at least one other church, were severely damaged in the fighting. After the rebels drove out the forces of the Assad regime, they attacked a number of Christian buildings and three young Catholic men were also killed by the rebel fighters, Asia News reported.
Church leaders have expressed serious concerns for the safety of the women who were taken. Greek Orthodox Patriarch John Yazigi called for the release of the Maaloula nuns. "We appeal to the seed of conscience that God planted in all humans, including the kidnappers, to release our sisters safely," Yazigi said in a statement issued Tuesday.
While twelve of the nuns were taken from the monastery, many of the other nuns remain trapped inside.
"We call upon the international community and world governments to help secure the release the nuns of Mar Takla Convent and the orphans who are being held since yesterday," Yazigi added.
Fighting Returns to Ancient Maaloula
In September, Maaloula had been the scene of heavy fighting, but was ultimately held by the government forces, until Friday, November 29. "Rebel forces, including the jihadist Al-Nusra Front, swept into Maaloula from the surrounding hills after rolling explosive-laden tires onto regime troops below," The Daily Star reported.
The government has been making advances in the strategic Qalamoun region in an attempt to contain the rebel forces. Maaloula sits on the edge of that region, near a highway that provides a transit route from the capital Damascus to the city of Homs. The region is likely to remain a hotspot in the coming weeks.
Before fighting came to the village in September, it had a population of nearly 5,000. Located in the mountains northeast of Damascus, Maaloula is a symbol of Christianity's ancient presence in Syria and one of the last remaining places speaking Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke.
Many of the residents had already fled to Damascus, a resident told Fox News. He was afraid "rebels would punish them for supporting Assad and because they are Christians."
Gregory III, the Melkite Greek Catholic Church Patriarch of Antioch and all the East, honored the three men killed by rebels after they had taken control of the city. Speaking of the dangers to Christians who remain in hostile areas in Syria he said, "We are determined to remain in this blessed land even at the cost of martyrdom and martyrdom of blood."
"This [martyrdom] has already happened to some of our faithful, such as the three men from Maalula, Michael Taalab, Antonios Taalab and Sarkis Zakhem. They are true martyrs killed for refusing to renounce their faith," the Patriarch said in a statement to Fides.
Most of the Christian community had left, and the majority of those who had stayed in Maaloula were Muslims, with the exception of those who had sought refuge at the monastery.
The reason why some of the women were taken from the monastery remains unclear. There are fears that the women were kidnapped and taken to be abused or held hostage, but others have indicated that they were removed for protection.
Mario Zenari, a spokesman for the Vatican, said the rebels "forced the sisters to evacuate and to follow them towards Yabroud. At this moment we cannot say if this is a kidnapping or an evacuation," he told Reuters by telephone from Damascus.
Based on abuses women have suffered throughout the conflict there are serious reasons for concern. Also, a number of church leaders, including both a Greek Orthodox and a Syriac Orthodox archbishop, have been kidnapped and in some cases killed.
Late Monday night, Pelagia Sayaf, the Mother Superior from Mar Takla and one of those taken, was able to contact the head of a nearby convent and said all twelve women who were taken were "fine and safe," AP reported.
For those still in the monastery sources for Albawaba said, "The rebels were still in the convent with the nuns and that the shelling and sniping by government troops had prevented their attempts to evacuate them," leaving a number of nuns and others trapped inside the monastery.
Islamic Extremists Taking "Syria out of Syria"
Many Syrian Christians have either attempted to remain neutral in the conflict or they have supported the government, fearing the Islamic state many of the rebel groups want to create in Syria.
"They are trying to take the Syria out of Syria," a 23-year-old whose family fled Syria after his father was killed by rebels told ICC. "These are games to destroy the people and culture. It is a war, but they are attacking us as Christians," he continued.
Another Christian refugee described how the rebel groups in his village were "very angry towards the cross and the church." After they had removed Assad's forces, they kidnapped and beheaded Christians, he told ICC. "My daughters could never go outside. We were scared and stayed at home." They were only able to escape out of Syria with an escort from government troops.
The growing strength of radical Islamic groups has most Syrians, including Christians, afraid of what would happen if Assad were to fall. While early on some of the opposition was fighting for greater rights and freedoms, the movement was hijacked by those pushing an extremist agenda.
Mousab Alhamadee is a Syrian journalist and activist who just recently decided to leave Syria. During the spring of 2013 he traveled to the United States for a few months and in June returned to continue working in the rebellion against the Assad dictatorship. "I knew the moment I arrived back in Syria, however, that things had changed - even though I had been gone just three months," he wrote in McClatchy.
"The rising prominence of religious radicals augured poorly for a diverse and open society, and the prospects for women were deteriorating. Radicals even had invaded schools, forcing their type of dress and ways of thinking on teachers and pupils alike. No way would we allow our daughter to grow up in such an unhealthy environment," Alhamadee continued.
Despite his desire to stay and work for a better Syria, the rise of al-Qaeda and other extremists groups forced him to choose exile. Many other Syrians have awoken to the same reality about many of the groups fighting against Assad.
War Crimes from Both Sides
Throughout the conflict, the rebel groups have repeatedly targeted civilians, and in many cases, specifically Christians and churches. Human Rights Watch has released a detailed report chronicling what amounts to war crimes during their October offensive in the Christian village of Sadad. They have called for the international community to become more directly engaged in finding a solution to the war in Syria and seeking justice for the victims of so many atrocities.
The United Nations Human Rights office has implicated Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the commission of war crimes during the 33-month-old conflict. Navi Pillay, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights said an investigation of "human rights offenses in Syria has produced "massive evidence" of the commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity," the New York Times reported.
The twelve nuns taken from the Mar Takla monastery are the latest victims of the horrific violence that has engulfed Syria. ICC echoes the call of many church leaders for their release.
While neither side in the conflict appears to offer a bright future, we pray for an end to the violence that has already destroyed so much in Syria, and a negotiated political solution that will restore order to Syria.

Insight: Fintech needs diversity in the workplace
Amanda Lieu | Women In Open Banking
15 Aug 2023
I’ve always loved the digital space; it changes and evolves so fast and is so full of opportunities. Ever since I was a child, I’ve been writing code, and building websites. That passion has remained with me throughout my career. As such, I’ve always naturally gravitated to roles in the fields of tech and digital, as well as in the world of financial services, which has been one of the core verticals I’ve worked in throughout this period.
When you combine all this together, it’s obvious why fintech was such a natural fit for me. It’s the sector where my experiences and skills can really come into play. In one way or another, I’ve been working in the industry for around 10 years now. Personally, I have always found working in these spaces to be enjoyable and accessible, but I recognise that this has not been the experience of all women.
In fact, recent analysis of National Statistics data commissioned by Integro Accounting has revealed that despite a general rise in UK tech sector employment, the count of women within the industry declined by more than 20,000 in 2022. According to that report, in 2021, 22.7% of all employees in the sector were female, compared to just 20.1% just one year later. After years of solid improvement, the tech sector has taken a backward step that it must quickly address.
Evaluating the issue
Unfortunately, in light of this recent research, it’s clear the technology sector is still struggling to achieve anything close to gender equality. To further illuminate this point, a recent Tech Nation report that investigated diversity in UK tech companies revealed that 77% of tech director roles are filled by men. In another poll, Women in Tech found that 76% of women have experienced gender discrimination or bias while working in a tech role.
As a sector, we need to redouble efforts to encourage more women into tech roles. Simultaneously, there needs to be a significant drive to ensure greater female representation within existing senior positions. We’ve all allowed this imbalance to fester in the background for too long, and as an industry that prides itself on being forward-thinking, innovative, and progressive there’s now a huge imperative to change.
Assessing the causes
Admittedly, improving diversity-related performance in tech will be no easy feat. Put simply, the industry must work to tackle a multi-layered and nuanced challenge impacted by factors both in and outside of its control. Progress will require consistent work and incessant engagement. What’s more, it will inevitably necessitate cross-industry cooperation and collaboration with external actors, including governmental and educational bodies.
The sector needs to tackle an interest gap, a representation gap, and a salary gap simultaneously. Right now, there’s a general lack of awareness of the career potential in the tech sector. When this is combined with a lack of representation and awareness of women in tech, it creates very little inspiration for young girls to join the field.
Those who do have that interest may be put off by a salary gap. In fact, the gender pay disparity in the UK’s technology sector stands at 16%, surpassing the overall national average of 9.4%, according to The Guardian‘s analysis of the government’s gender pay gap reporting, which is very frustrating. Worse still, women in technology only occupied 23.5% of the top-paying jobs.
Therefore, not only do we need to raise awareness about the career potential in the tech sector, but ensure that young women have the necessary support in place to help them to reach their goals. Once they’ve achieved that, we need to take greater effort to ensure they’re going on to receive the same level of opportunities as their male counterparts and, ultimately, are being equitably reimbursed for their efforts.
Step in the right direction
While awareness regarding STEM professions and their nature is gradually increasing, there remains a gradual progress in educating people about more nascent fields, such as financial crime (fincrime) prevention. It’s conceivable that a portion of highly talented individuals might not have encountered the realm of fincrime prevention yet, due to this ongoing knowledge gap, but would offer great value to the field if given the right opportunity.
I always bear this in mind when working to build teams at SEON. Hiring great talent is always a challenge but it’s made harder within the context of the sector. I try to prioritise candidates that possess the right attitude and passion, for this reason. Everyone must begin somewhere – knowledge and skills can be taught, so it’s more about finding people who are the right fit, then equipping them with the knowhow.
Diversity is important in every single field. In my opinion, it’s alternative viewpoints that help to expand possibilities and that contribute to healthy debate. Equipping your team with diverse mindsets and outlooks is a great way to encourage people to be more open-minded, helping to challenge assumptions and the status quo. Through the exploration of new perspectives, businesses can unlock previously unattainable insights.
That’s why the best teams are built around diversity. In these examples, the concept is far from an afterthought, but a real value adder that can help companies move closer to their goals.
Right now, the worlds of tech, fintech and fincrime prevention need to ensure they’re doing all they can to harness this valuable power. It won’t happen overnight, but hopefully we begin to see greater change soon.

EPIK Communications (now Lumen) was a wholesale broadband services company that provided telecommunications services (IP, Ethernet, Dark Fiber and VPN solutions) to carriers and enterprise customers across the United States and Latin America.
FECI was a transportation, real estate and infrastructure business that created EPIK as a subsidiary with the goal to embed fiber telecoms into their existing properties. Their principal customers included AT&T Wireless, Sprint and Telefonica. The subsidiary struggled and shareholders decided to divest themselves of EPIK. However, leadership pivoted and instead recruited an executive team to rapidly reposition and grow the subsidiary, then exit. I was recruited, along with a CFO and SVP of Operations, although it became clear the biggest growth roadblocks fell squarely on Sales and Marketing.
My challenge was to quickly assess, identify gaps, and realign both the sales and marketing teams to supercharge revenue, with the goal to reposition the organization for acquisition within 12 months. Specific challenges included demand generation, effectively qualifying and quoting business (it was a very technical sale), expanding existing customer relationships, defining roles and goals between marketing and sales regarding lead qualifying, and creation of marketing and sales materials.
Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing
I was brought on by the CEO and the holding company Florida East Coast Industries, LLC (FECI) because of my expertise in developing and executing on high-growth opportunities, which was the result of my years of experience in leading sales and marketing teams in the areas of product development, go-to-market, channel strategies and execution. Previously, I held key leadership positions at Intermedia Communications in Sales, Sales Strategy, and Marketing and helped take it from $40 million to over $1 billion in six years.
Initially, I developed a simple, but powerful exercise for EPIKS internal departments that allowed me to to create high-impact, high-value strike points. These points became the basis of a roadmap that led to improved sales productivity, increased enterprise-wide cooperation and operational effectiveness.
Realigned sales and marketing teams:
Increased product offerings:
Improved sales excellence and reduced customer churn:
Within one year, we successfully positioned the subsidiary for acquisition and grew revenue from less than $12 million to $20 million. Additionally, by developing new product offerings, we were able to expand into the enterprise market, making EPIK a more attractive acquisition target. Originally valued at less than $15 million, almost a year later, EPIK was successfully acquired by Progress Telecom for $30 million, and a few years later was bought by Level 3 Communications, a multinational telecommunications and Internet service provider company, for $137 million. Now owned by Lumen. | <urn:uuid:59b63eda-7d6a-4f62-934f-cfb4006e6b40> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.orchid.black/abstract/michelle-westich-epik-communications | 2024-04-25T08:03:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.97461 | 548 |
After years of waiting, a family was ready to build their dream home on the lakefront lot they’d owned for almost a decade. But they discovered that their building site, which had a high seasonal water table, was too small to fit the the house they’d planned to build and a typical 2000-sq-ft mound system.
Rather than downsizing their home design, the owners found a better option through a local excavator who was familiar with alternative wastewater systems. He suggested an Orenco AdvanTex® Treatment System – with a footprint of less than 25 sq ft. – as the solution for this environmentally sensitive site, followed by a 780-sq-ft. drainfield. | <urn:uuid:c5519dc6-9aa8-42e8-8d13-9267f5914422> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.orenco.com/applications/residential/spicer-mn | 2024-04-25T08:55:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.9777 | 144 |

Why are cars being left to die in Mumbai
On the occasion of 'World Environment Day' that was celebrated in June 2018, many projects to improve life on our planet commenced. Of course there was also talk of harmful vehicle emissions and moving to EVs (electric vehicles), with our government strongly advocating this too. But, sadly there is little talk about how electricity is produced in India. Most of it is generated by burning coal, which is extremely harmful to our environment. So moving to EV's will not help, simply because we shall have to burn even more coal to meet the increase in demand for electricity. What is needed is a multi-pronged approach. Sure it's necessary to have more EVs, but we must also have far cleaner or renewal sources of manufacturing electricity. Sadly, given the way we Indian's plan, work and execute, this is unlikely to happen. By opting for EVs we won't reduce the overall pollution, we shall just shift the source.
Another essential requirement for tackling pollution is the 'Vehicle Scrapping Policy', which has been a long time in the planning. Apparently it shall finally come into effect in 2020, but will only be applicable to commercial vehicles. A policy to systematically replace old and polluting vehicles is something that should have been in place at least 20 years back, when the auto industry started growing.
Operation Khatara is an initiative to remove dilapidated vehicles deserted on our streets (Source: Mumbaialive)
Recently in Mumbai, some citizen groups have initiated 'Operation Khatara' to remove dilapidated vehicles deserted on our streets. They inform the BMC (Bombay Municipal Corporation) and police and ask them to take away what for some reason are also being termed as 'dead vehicles'. These cars occupy short in supply parking space and incidents of anti-social elements, hawkers and slum dwellers storing their goods and things in them have also been discovered. The authorities have responded positively to the citizen's appeal, but the usual bureaucratic debate of whose job it actually is, has started too. The police say they can tow away the vehicles but have no space to keep them. The BMC says it does not have enough towing vehicles or storage space. Fortunately, despite this, the 'Khataras' are being taken away and kept in yards and public parking lots, including those in shopping malls. The BMC says it will soon auction the seized vehicles that have not been reclaimed. It appears these cars are bought by scrap dealers basically for the metal. Unfortunately, this sector is not really organized and we still don't have the kind of wrecking yards or junkyards found in the west, where usable parts from decommissioned vehicles are put up for sale as spares and the rest of the vehicle is crushed and compacted and sold to metal-recycling companies. I don't think there are any practical rules either, for the disposal of environmentally harmful things like oils, toxic battery acids, rubber, plastics, etc.
Interestingly, very few cars picked up from the streets have been reclaimed by the owners and it makes me wonder why? Most of them have number plates, so identifying the owners should not be difficult. In fact it may be a very good and useful exercise for a research firm to find and speak to them. But until any such proper report of 'rationale for desertion' emerges, I will share a few probable reasons that come to mind. New cars have a fitness certificate issued by the manufacturer valid for 15 years. After its expiry, the owner needs to get a 'roadworthiness certificate' from the RTO (Regional Transport Office) that is then renewable every five years. I know from my own experience that getting and renewing this certificate of fitness is not an easy process and can be time-consuming, painful and also expensive in case all papers are not in order. If some taxes are unpaid, then the penalties and interest applicable can be very substantial too. Given this, I presume a fair number of people don't bother getting a new 'roadworthiness certificate', without which it cannot be sold or transferred. So the resale value becomes minimal and keeping the vehicle running may cost more than it's worth the while of the owner. The option, is to abandon it.
There is also the cost of maintenance. Let's says an owner has used the vehicle extensively and it's done a lot of mileage. To keep it running properly may require very costly major repairs, in some cases more than the resale value of the car itself. Reason enough to dump it. Then of course it may have been in an accident or natural calamity and may not be covered by insurance, again grounds for ditching it. There could be family or financial disputes, mortgaging of car registration papers with money lenders, etc. All of which could be causes for forsaking them.
While I certainly want to know the actual reasons for 'abandoning the cars', one thing intrigues me. Which are the makes and models people discard the most? In the photographs I have seen, one brand of cars appears quite often. Is it because they don't last and age very well? Or have good resale value? I have also seen few abandoned premium luxury cars, including German ones. Now what could be the reason for that? The only thing that comes to mind is major repair of highly expensive components like engine, transmission, etc. Or maybe they were too badly damaged in some floods, or such thing. It would be enlightening to get answers to this mystery.

With the onset of warm weather, many of us start walking and hiking more, wearing sandals, and often even running around barefoot. For others, it means Plantar Fasciitis flare-ups. Persistent foot pain is no fun. Massage is just the "fix"! While most PF pain is in the heel, often the problem is more in the calf and shin areas. At it's most severe, a series of twice a week hour sessions for about 5 weeks can make a world of difference, ending with little to no pain. If you or someone you know suffers from PF, recommend they come in for a few sessions. They'll thank you, I promise!
Pictured below is a technique sometimes used called "The Bear-Trap". Magnets are used to help balance the pH of the issue and reduce inflammation, assisting in the healing process. What do you think, pretty wild right?

Paranoia Strikes Deep
This sensation was in the back of my mind the entire trip. Throughout the week I wore a small pouch, I called it my "Joey," like I was a momma kangaroo, under my shirt. It housed our cash, passports, credit card, bank card. Now in the swarm at the train station, rumored to be Pickpocket Danger Area #1, I found myself checking out everyone in the place. Christy needed to make a pit stop, so I found the most secure place to wait: against a wall, our two rolling bags, a camera bag, and a backpack close to me. I was a secure fort in the middle of the chaos. I suspected everyone who stopped to look at the map next to me was trying to rip me off.
Then I had a random thought.
I was reminded of our country's evolving immigration and foreign travel policy. Twice now efforts to limit who can travel to America from a handful of countries have been ruled unconstitutional. I've been critical of these efforts from the beginning from a faith perspective. The Bible is very clear that the foreigner should be welcome and cared for. But now in this busy train station I found myself somehow synched to the underlying fears of the travel/immigration bans: when we assume everyone is a threat in effort to ensure our own safety, we make ourselves crazy.
Yesterday the area around Parliament in London was attacked by a terrorist. He was not a refugee, and he was not from a predominantly Muslim country. He was a Muslim born in Britain and radicalized there. Several people have died and others are injured. I have an emotional connection to England as Christy and I lived there seventeen years ago and have many dear friends. Plus a couple from Grace was visiting London very close to where the attack happened and I was concerned for them and others. I spent much of yesterday refreshing my social media feeds to learn more information. I tweeted out my own thoughts and I re-tweeted a prayer from the London District of the Methodist Church:
I love the UK. God bless you all. 🇬🇧— Pastor Frank (@revfrankdrenner) March 22, 2017
The London District offer prayers for all those who have died and who have been injured after the events in Westminster; pic.twitter.com/3kJNEh4U2S— London Methodists (@LondonMethodist) March 22, 2017
Twitter being what Twitter is, it became a place of immediate response, assigning blame everywhere, wanting to go to war, to repay evil for evil. As much as terrorism is a part of our lives, so is our need to express our outrage. I feel it too. When expressed in a mature way it can even be healthy (not being hateful, stereotyping.. and yes, paranoid). The British are actually great models for this. Today Parliament is back in session. London is not on lockdown. New policies are not being enacted as a response to terror. We move forward. Unafraid.
Last night at Bible study we discussed the "Cleansing of the Temple," one of the few stories remembered in all four gospels. Mark sandwiched that story with another one about a fig tree Jesus passes as he walks from Bethany to Jerusalem. Jesus is hungry, but the tree has no figs-- it's out of season. Jesus curses it (Mark 11:12-14), and after returning from the Temple Peter notices that the tree is withered (verses 20-25). Peter asks about the tree. Here's what Jesus says: "Have faith in God. If you say to the mountain, 'Go into the sea,' it will happen. If you have faith and not doubt." The fig tree withers because it is not performing its function when needed-- no figs for a hungry traveler. If we spend our days doubting, worrying, fearful, paranoid... we are not living out what we believe.
Of course there are pickpockets at Termini and other major hubs where people gather. People have their cash, phones, bags, etc. stolen every day. But just because there are a few pickpockets doesn't mean everyone there is a pickpocket, right? That's irrational thinking. It's also illogical to assume everyone traveling from a predominantly Muslim country is a threat. It's paranoia to assume every refugee fleeing terror or civil war in Syria or other places is a danger. Maybe there are a few. But not most; and certainly not all.
When I made the connection between my fear and the reality in the train station, I breathed a little easier. I still protected my things and was cautious, but did so in a way that allowed me to enjoy myself in a place I had always dreamed of visiting. What's the first thing Jesus says about the fig tree: "Have faith in God." Our world is no more or less crazy than what we read about in the story. What might we become if we put aside our immediate, often negative responses to scary realities and embrace faith? | <urn:uuid:e4b69bb9-a2fa-475a-bab8-73e7b4b1d11d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.pastorfrankdrenner.com/2017/03/paranoia-strikes-deep.html | 2024-04-25T08:20:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.973937 | 1,036 |

So I have a question for you, do you consider yourself a “worry-er”? Not a warrior, a “worry-er.” Here’s what I mean by that. Do you catch yourself worrying about everything in life? Do you constantly ask, “What if this or that happens?” My guess is you do. How do I know that? I can speak for myself. I’ve worried a majority of my life. In this article I get into where worry comes from, and how to worry in the right order.
When you think about it, we have a misconception that worry is a bad thing. Well, I think that worrying is a gift from God. The problem is that we worry in the wrong order. I know that can sound confusing, but stay with me.
I think too often we buy something like a car out of excitement. Then we worry about how to make the car payments. Or we might buy a house because the market is good and then worry about how to make the mortgage payment.
Too often we eat something like cheesecake or ice cream because it tastes good, and then later worry about the calories. The problem is that we worry after we make the decision rather than before.
Instead, you should first worry about if you can make the car payment before you buy the car, the mortgage payment before you buy the house. You should worry about your health before eating the cheesecake or ice cream.
When raising your kids, worry about their character from the time they’re young, rather than worrying about what they do once they turn 18. They will still make mistakes, but if you raised them on the right foundation, you’ll doubt yourself a lot less.
So whether in business or other aspects of your life, if you worry in the right order, you’ll have more confidence and peace of mind. | <urn:uuid:7b41e0b2-71e2-4ba2-986e-b5da1234f4e8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.patrickbetdavid.com/do-you-worry-in-the-right-order/ | 2024-04-25T08:40:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.973834 | 396 |

PCC News –
Thursday 27th October with Shannon Moran was a very interesting evening during which we were enthralled to hear about and see the amazing creatures which lie just off-shore in Falmouth Bay. Shannon told us about the colourful Blennies, amazing Anemones and Spider Crabs which she found whilst diving off Pendennis Head, Gyllngvase and Castle beaches.
After giving us her education and background Shannon told us about the trips she has made to the Red Sea in Egypt and the work she has been doing to record various species which exhibit fluorescence both locally and abroad. We had a chance to hear about how she uses macro lenses and special filters and we then had the opportunity to handle some of the very specialized (and expensive) underwater equipment. Finally, we heard about her membership of the British Society of Underwater Photographers and the recent awards in the Underwater Photographer of the Year. A big thank you was given to Sharron by the members for a super presentation.

When a company defines its Higher Purpose, it must go back into history – to trace the reasons it was created, to revisit the values and ethos of those who created it.
High growth companies are led by people who are determined to make a positive difference in the communities they operate in.
“There is no more strategic issue for a company, or any organization than its ultimate purpose. For those who think business exists to make a profit, I suggest they think again. Business makes a profit to exist. Surely it must exist for some higher, nobler purpose than that.” – Ray Anderson
Most organizations today have mastered the art of defining their vision and mission statements. Everybody talks about having the best-performing, most profitable, most efficient, most client-oriented, most sustainable and the most ethical organization. But even with these words, companies are setting the bar too low. A Higher Purpose needs to articulate the reason for being. The questions that it should address are – what is my ultimate purpose in the world and what will the world miss if I cease to exist? The inspired organization needs to have a higher purpose; profit is a result.
When a company defines its Higher Purpose, it must go back into history – to trace the reasons it was created, to revisit the values and ethos of those who created it. McKinsey holds the top rank in consulting firms even today, sustaining its position over multiple decades. It owes its astounding success to the principles set down by Marvin Bower. “If you looked after the client, the profit would look after themselves.” What he looked for in new hires, he said, was “outstanding character, intellect, responsibility, initiative and imagination”. Bower created what became known as “the McKinsey way” – giving people responsibility and compensating them well. For him, people and their intellect were the firms’ greatest assets and that’s what he invested in. His values and words are still found in the firm’s mission and values statement. He was clear about why the firm existed and he not only articulated it, he ensured that the concept was tied into the firm’s strategy and its implementation. Only a few organizations have been able to integrate the vision with the strategy and then ensure its implementation in the business plan.
The beauty of a vision is its permanence – particularly critical in a world that is rapidly changing. A vision is highly adaptive and has no expiry date. When you keep your vision in sight, you are able to continuously innovate to achieving the purpose that you want to achieve. Steve Jobs, one of the greatest innovators of modern times, had said, “The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” So what is it that will make people love their daily work? What is it that will motivate them to come to work every morning with energy and positive spirit? What is it that will drive them to give their best at work and you work beyond the call of duty? You need to know why you do what you do. The goal is to hire people who believe what you believe in. Money would be a simple answer but its not. We all need meaning and purpose in our lives. Purpose inspires and motivates us, purpose keeps us strong and tough when through tough times, purpose gives us the determination and resilience to work through all problems in life and feel a sense of achievement, which is beyond the satisfaction of having met your business goals. An organization that has managed to define this purpose for their stakeholders has landed the prize. Having a higher purpose will bind all the people connected with the company – shareholders, customers, suppliers and employees.
An organization that has a higher purpose and truly lives it is able to attract higher quality talent and loyal customers. Our compensation is like our current account and the values that define us and mould us are our capital account. Companies such as Unilever, IBM and Mahindra & Mahindra have been able to define the higher purpose of their existence and link individual day-to-day jobs to it. When you are able to create the link between a company’s higher purpose and belief and fundamental human values, you are able to connect with people. The higher purpose defines your brand and clarifies what you and your people stand for and believe in. Shared values transform the company into a collective and cohesive force – all-moving together in a common direction. The purpose also helps as a reckoner for decision making. If decisions you make align with your purpose, then you’re on track. It cuts the clutter and gets to the heart of the matter. Businesses are not run just with brains and financial acumen. Businesses that succeed are those that have hearts and demonstrate care for the ecosystem; it’s no more about shareholder value but stakeholder value.
It would be an understatement to say that leaders play a key role in building companies with a higher purpose. It is a statistically proven fact that high growth companies are led by people who are determined to make a positive difference in the communities that they operate in. They are like painters for whom the expression of their art is defining the purpose and then ensuring that it is weaved into the fabric of daily work in the company. They realize and publicly acknowledge that no business can exist without a life-sustaining ecosystem, motivated employees, faithful customers and suppliers, believing financers and supportive communities. They understand that their role is to propagate and serve the purpose of the organization. They work really hard to create and sustain a culture built on values and principles that connects the stakeholders to each other and to the company’s purpose. They understand that it’s both a moral obligation and in the self-interest of the businesses to share values and to share wealth and to improve the ecosystem in which they operate. They realize the importance of building long-term, sustainable relationships, even if they feel like they are losing in the short term. They don’t talk the language of just numbers and money, these alone will not suffice to motivate people, drive great performance or keep top talent onboard. These leaders spread the message of common good and underlying values.
The leaders’ message must be simple, clear and consistent. There must be clarity about what is non-negotiable. It must have the ability to be translated across divisions, functions, business units and must speak to universal human instincts, hopes and values. The message must be inculcated into the entire value chain of the organization. From the time a person is hired, their goal setting, performance evaluation, compensation and rewards must be linked to the higher purpose. Care must be taken to appoint the right leaders as companies expand across the world – the new leaders must buy into the vision and be ambassadors of the higher purpose. The role of the HR function in this respect has become more important than before. They must be the CEO’s partners in ensuring that each business unit of the company, across every part of the world lives and breathes the higher purpose. The vision and higher purpose is not simply a set of beautiful sounding words, they must be demonstrated in every way the organization conducts itself – whether is a matter of routine or in terms of crisis. In today’s day and age of media exposure, deceit and deception will soon be exposed and rejected by the community. No business can afford that. Let’s take the case of Johnson & Johnson. In the space of a few days starting Sept. 29, 1982, seven people died in the Chicago area after taking cyanide-laced capsules of Extra-Strength Tylenol, the painkiller that was a best-selling product.
The world predicted that the Tylenol brand, which accounted for 17 per cent of the company’s net income in 1981, would never recover from the sabotage. But only two months later, Tylenol was headed back to the market, this time in tamper-proof packaging and bolstered by an extensive media campaign. A year later, its share of the $1.2 billion analgesic market, which had plunged to 7 per cent from 37 per cent following the poisoning, had climbed back to 30 per cent.
What set apart J&J’s handling of the crisis from others? It placed consumers first by recalling 31 million bottles of Tylenol capsules from store shelves and offering replacement product in the safer tablet form free of charge.
The world today needs leaders who follow a moral compass that points in the right direction. Now this is a great time for companies to become inspirational and attract those who value integrity and believe in adding value to their communities and the greater world. In today’s world, the CEOs will not be judged by market capitalization or share value but by what impact they are having on society and how many lives they have touched.
“The businesses that aspire to a higher purpose will outperform businesses that focus on the bottom line. People aspire to be part of something bigger than themselves. Give them something to align with to create a sense of belonging. Give them something to talk about. Give them a reason to share experiences.” – Brian Solis | <urn:uuid:26eb0f2e-9455-4725-a8f5-cb8d56d988d0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.peoplematters.in/article/culture/whats-the-higher-purpose-of-your-organization-5792 | 2024-04-25T07:42:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.966416 | 1,885 |

The Andrews Labor Government should stop stalling and decide whether it will hold a full duck hunting season this year.
The season usually opens in March. Hunters their families and business owners – such as supply stores and accommodation providers – should be given ample time to plan their travel or arrange additional staff.
There is no reason why there should not be a full duck season this year.
Where conditions are dry ducks will have moved on to another location – including NSW which has experienced flooding conditions recently.
Comments from Leader of The Nationals and Shadow Minister for Agriculture Peter Walsh:
“It is obvious Labor is more concerned about upsetting inner-city voters than announcing a 2016 duck season.
“Duck hunting is a legitimate recreational activity in Victoria and the Andrews Labor Government should stop stalling on the 2016 season.
“Hunters families and businesses deserve to know whether a full season will go ahead now so they have time to make arrangements before the opening weekend.” | <urn:uuid:49dd6c84-ea5e-404c-b363-1458199461cd> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.peterwalsh.org.au/media/labor-must-end-duck-season-uncertainty/ | 2024-04-25T08:20:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.96658 | 202 |
Monday, 1 September marked the opening of the new academic year for many Dutch universities, including the University of Amsterdam (UvA). Dr. Louise Gunning-Schepers, President of the UvA Executive Board, started with a remembrance of those lost in the MH17 disaster, including an UvA student, an UvA alumnus and our colleagues Joep Lange and Jacqueline van Tongeren. In light of this year’s African theme, four colleagues from PharmAccess and the Amsterdam Institute for Global Health and Development (AIGHD) were invited to share their Africa-related work.
The University of Amsterdam collaborates with a variety of partners with the aim of linking the research and education sectors all over the world. This year they zoomed into their activities and partnerships in Africa. To showcase some of these long-lasting collaborations and UvA’s dense network our four speakers were invited to the stage to present their projects. As the first speaker, Zlata Tanovic introduced AIGHD and focused on the theme: ‘progress through partnership: the UvA and Africa’ which illustrated what working as a researcher entails. She concludes by saying that ‘I believe that academic collaboration between developed countries and Africa is an important way to strengthen local academic institutions, and helps to build a flourishing academic environment in Africa.’
Marleen Hendriks continued on this note, showcasing her research on cardiovascular disease prevention in a health insurance program in rural Nigeria and the impact of the results. During her research she collaborated with local academic institutions which resulted in interesting outcomes. ‘We showed that quality of care for high blood pressure in one of the insurance clinics was comparable to quality of care in high income countries. And access to this care reduced blood pressure in patients. This is a very important outcome because if we can bring down blood pressure, we can greatly reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks. This will save lives and prevent families from falling into poverty due to illness.’
Showcasing a new perspective, the third speaker Steven van de Vijver interestingly showed that his research on cardiovascular disease can actually trigger reverse innovation, meaning that his four-step model ‘from awareness to compliance’ developed in and for Kenya can be applied in Amsterdam to cover an area not addressed by the traditional Dutch public health system. ‘After exactly hundred years since Albert Schweitzer came to Africa to offer medical assistance, African solutions are coming our way to treat our Western lifestyle diseases’ explains Steven.
African solutions can also be a source of innovation, and as the fourth speaker Kees van Lede explains, calling them ‘leapfrogging opportunities.’ His project with MPESA and SafariCom shows how a mobile money payment model, which is extremely successful in Kenya, goes beyond what the western society is implementing today. He showed the audience that we have a lot to learn from this phenomenon, and rounds off the opening ceremony by concluding that Africa is a continent of innovation and great potential.
In order to share stories of researchers like Zlata, Steven, Marleen and Kees, the UvA published a book: ‘Progress through Partnerships: the UvA and Afrika.’ This book is dedicated to the memory of Joep and Jacqueline.

Why this particular Hamilton Chrono-matic II isn’t more popular among enthusiasts is beyond me. Near as I can figure it, it’s because it straddles that shadowed area of vintage watches that isn’t quite old enough to be “real vintage; ” yet it hit the markets about a decade too soon for it to get the praise provided by the horology journalism of today. The best part though is that the Hamilton Chrono-matic II 9379 retains all the design cues of yesteryear without having jumped the shark on its updates. 24:16 — About Vacheron Constantin’s Les Collectionneurs and the guarantee to be able to repair any of its timepieces.

The year is almost over but there’s still one more thing coming to Anno 1800 . It’s none other than the new mode titled Eden Burning, which is available for free. Arriving on December 14, this one challenges players to do some clean-up and then come up with a sustainable source of energy. The goal is to do that while making sure there is minimal damage to the ecosystem.
Eden Burning was actually created as an entry for the 2021 Green Game Jam. This event was organized by the UN-facilitated Playing for the Planet Alliance and brought different video game companies together to create what’s known as new “green activations.” At that same event, Eden Burning was given the UNEP Choice Award.
Eden Burning, in particular, introduces Scenarios, which are self-contained game sessions that have their very own victory conditions. For this mode, players need to build a hydroelectric dam on the island of La Xultuna as fast as they can while keeping pollution to a minimum to protect the local ecosystem. It also offers a roguelike approach where players can experiment and see what happens when they try different approaches.
The new mode is not all that’s happening on December 14. There will be a Plant A Tree DLC, available for $2.99. It’s going to add an ornamental tree for the cities of players. You can purchase it until March 31. However, the ornamental tree is returning to the game sometime in 2022 as a free item. By the way, buying this DLC also contributes $1 to the environmental organization Ecologi.
Players can also look forward to Game Update 13 being launched on the same day. It includes free ship skins, which are one for the Battlecruiser and one for the Ship of the Line. This is in celebration of the game reaching 2 million players. Speaking of free things, Anno 1404 History Edition is available free until December 14.
Anno 1800 is a city-building and real-time strategy video game that takes place during the Industrial Revolution. Released in 2019, the game is available on PC. | <urn:uuid:cfaf8bfe-21f1-4cd9-b1c5-99c1bda4b002> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.player.one/anno-1800-eden-burning-december-14-144233 | 2024-04-25T07:46:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.964249 | 443 |
Resident Evil 4 is considered one of the best Resident Evil games in the series. The original game was released in 2005 with critical acclaim from both fans and critics. It was also a financial success and regarded as one of the best games of all time.
Eighteen years later, it seems the remake has successfully filled the shoes of the original version. Resident Evil 4 Remake received universal acclaim from critics, and fans seem to love it as well. The game is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. A PlayStation VR 2 port is planned with an unspecified release date.
About the Game
Initially announced in 2022, fans of the series were eagerly anticipating the launch of the Resident Evil 4 Remake. Developed by Capcom, the same company behind the original game, the remake is said to be a faithful reiteration that retains the essence of the original.
Players can expect to see major improvements in character design, environment details, and enemy AI complexity, making the experience more realistic, immersive, and horrifying than ever before.
In addition to updated graphics, Resident Evil 4 Remake features new mechanics that newbies and returning players will enjoy. Some of these are:
- Side missions are now available in the game.
- New enemies have been added to the remake.
- A new crossbow weapon has been added to the arsenal.
- Quick-time events have been removed.
- Players can now carry multiple knives.
The new features and mechanics are sure to bring a breath of fresh air to the game while ensuring player comfort.
Future Resident Evil Games
What’s next for the Resident Evil series is unknown. Capcom hasn’t revealed any future RE games and many fans are hoping for remakes of RE1, Zero, or Code Veronica. Given the success of all recent remakes, we are sure the developer is thinking about them as well.

As someone who dabbles
in different styles of cooking, I’ve had a lot of fun creating more low-carb dishes lately. My daughter, Lauren, is following a keto diet and I made these drumsticks to lure her to visit her mama. A bit decadent, perhaps, but not for a keto follower, and not for someone who really loves good flavor. No blue cheese or celery needed.
2 oz pork rinds/chicharrones (1 cup crushed)
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon dried thyme
4 tablespoons butter
10 chicken drumsticks
Preheat your oven to 400. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, and fit it with a roasting rack.
Grease the rack.
Process the pork rinds in your food processor into fine crumbs. You can crush the pork rinds with a rolling pin, but this method will likely result in bigger crumbs.
They should still adhere to the chicken pieces, but not as well.
In a small bowl, mix together the pork, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika and thyme. Divide the mixture between two shallow bowls.
Whisk the eggs in another shallow bowl.
Dip each chicken piece in the eggs, then dredge it in the crushed pork rinds. Focus on coating mostly the tops of the chicken pieces – the bottoms will become slightly soggy anyway.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared rack. Bake them in the preheated oven until the tops are golden brown and crispy and the insides are fully cooked, about 40 minutes.
Brown the butter in a small pan and scrape the chicharrone bits into it from the foil.
Drizzle the butter over the drumsticks and serve with a lot of napkins and a shot of a serious tequila, like Don Julio 1942 (also keto, by the way.) | <urn:uuid:185c1f57-ca92-4c9d-b56c-0dc36480543f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.playingwithfoodblog.com/post/neato-keto-chicharrone-and-brown-butter-breaded-drumsticks | 2024-04-25T08:29:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.938272 | 409 |

Tips to solve WordPress not sending email issue
With the expertise we have in web development, we have been asked this issue frequently as we assist beginners with their doubts and questions too. We have been often asked why they do not get notifications on their WordPress (WP) or why their contact from the plugin does not send emails. We will discuss how to send emails from your website by overtaking the spam folders.
Why don’t you get emails from your WordPress webpage?
This usually happens if your WP hosting server is not configured correctly to use the PHP mail() function. Even if the hosting has been configured, Gmail and most email service providers integrate many tools to cut down the spam emails by tracking the actual place which the email is sent from. Chances are high that when WP sends out an email, it may fail.
What does SMTP mean?
It stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. This is the industry term used for sending emails. Compared to PHP mail(), SMTP has good authentication that results in a large number of email deliverability. You have the WP Mail SMTP plug on WP which helps you send out emails via SMTP rather than using the PHP mail() function that can be linked to SMTP services such as Amazon SES, Gmail, Office 365 and others.
How to Install the WP Mail SMTP Plugin?
You will have to keep the WP Mail SMTP plugin before using any SMTP service, as this also allows you to use an SMTP service and switch from PHP mail() which comes built-in on WP.
You first need to download and install WP Mail SMTP. Then click on the WP mail SMTP on WP dashboard to arrange and set up the plugin settings.
You need to start it off by typing the name and business email address from which you need your website emails to be received, and this should be the same email ID that you use for your SMTP mailing service.
Even if other plugins have different settings, if you select “Force From Email” and “Force From Name”, this will help you override other settings. After this stage, you need to set up a service provider for your site.
As an example, we will be using Sendinblue but we also have the instructions for other service providers as you scroll down this article. And as you choose your mail service provider, you can set up an account, since you will be needing it to finish setting up WP Mail SMTP.
How to set up Subdomain to your Website?
In order to do this, first, go to Domains section on the control panel. When you log in, go to Domains and then click Subdomains. And you can type in the subdomain and click on Create.
If you finish creating your subdomain, you will need to add it to your mail service provider account, whereas in this article we are using a Sendinblue account.
How to add your Sudomain to Sendinblue?
When you go to your Sendinblue account, you need to click on settings, and as you go to the settings, you will see an option called “Your Senders’’ and an option called “Configure”. You have to click on Configure below Your Senders.
Then you need to go to the “Domains” section and choose ‘Add a New Domain”.
Then you can add your subdomain and tick the box below which says “I would like to use this domain name to digitally sign my emails (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and click on save. In case you close this pop-up window unintentionally, you can still get back to it by clicking on ‘Authenticate this domain’.
Open a fresh tab and log in again to your web hosting account since you have to find your domain and open the DNS records.
And if you are using Bluehost, then you can go to Domains and then click on My Domains, then select ‘Manage’ beside your domain.
Then scroll down to the TXT section on your DNS records, since you have to add 3 TXT records provided by Sendinblue. A sample image of it has been attached below.
Then you need to click ‘Add Record’ and complete the first record as mentioned below,
Host Record: mail._domainkey.mail1
Record Type: TXT
TXT Value: Copy this from Sendinblue.
TTL: 1 day
Note that Host Record can be named as Host or Name depending on your website host. You can change the name if you have given a different name to your subdomain. The type of your record is not necessary. TXT value might be named as TXT data which is the first and the longest code on the details of Sendinblue. The TTL can be either 24 hours or 86400 seconds which are both counted as 1 day.
Click on save if you have finished the first record.
Follow the steps to complete the second record,
Host Record: mail1
Record Type: TXT
TXT Value: v=spf1 include:spf.sendinblue.com mx ~all
TTL: 1 day
Click save as you finish this as well.
Then the third code is as follows,
Host Record: mail1
Record Type: TXT
TXT Value: Copy this from Sendinblue. It’s the third piece of code.
TTL: 1 day
And you can save this as well.
If you have completed adding your records, click on the button which says ‘RECORD ADDED. PLEASE VERIFY IT’ and this may take approximately 24 to 48 hours for Senindinblue to verify your records, but it usually happens faster than this. And if you cannot click on that button please try after sometime.
Sendinblue also has the 4th code for DMARC record, which is not really needed and we highly recommend skipping this option. This can be done only if you have enough skills with DMARC Configuration.
How to finish WP Mail SMTP Setup and use Senindblue?
Good news! You are almost there to end the process.
Go to Settings on your WP Mail STMP in the WP dashboard and since you have already mentioned your From Name & From Email it will appear and if you have not, then you can do that now. Make sure to leave the ‘Return Path’ box unticked because Sendinblue does not use this option. Then choose Sendinblue to select your mail service provider.
In order to find the API key, you will need to get back to your Sendinblue account. In order to do this, you can simply click on the link below your API key and your Sendinblue account will appear in a new tab.
And yes, it’s done. It’s all set. You will have one last step for verification, so you can send a test mail to assure yourself that everything is in order. Simply click on the ‘Email Test’ tab of your WP Mail SMTP and do the basics of just entering an email address you want it received to.
And finally, you will receive a pop-up mentioning ‘Test HTML email was sent successfully’ which confirms the process and check the inbox for confirmation.
How to fix the WordPress Email issue with other Mail Providers?
As mentioned above, there is no strict rule that you have to stick to Sendinblue. And here are the steps to how you can set up the rest of it.
Gmail or G Suite with WP Mail STMP to solve the WordPress email issue.
You do not have to re-enter your Gmail or G Suite credentials to WP when you are using the WP Mail STMP plugin since you can use this to send your emails.
If you are going to continue with Gmail or G Suite with your WP Mail STMP, follow all the steps mentioned above and choose Google as your email provider.
You should tick the box ‘Return Path’ when you are using it for Google.
You can then create your web application from your Google account and fill in your ‘Client ID’ and ‘Client Secret’.
Tip: This step can be done with your regular Gmail account, but chances of high deliverability can be expected with G Suite.
Drawbacks to choosing Gmail or G Suite,
You will have to get in touch with your web host to install the right certificate and get it to work. And the other is that, in case you change the email address later, you should follow and complete the entire process again.
Office 365 or Outlook with WP Mail STMP to solve WordPress email issue
You can use either of these if you are already using this as your regular email account. However, this is not recommended as the security measures are much lower in these.
Set up your WP Mail STMP following the above steps, then select ‘Other STMP’, which will open a form for you to complete, which can be filled in using the details given below.
SMTP Host: smtp.office365.com
SMTP Port: 587
Auto TLS: (leave switched on)
Authentication: (leave switched on)
SMTP Username: Your Office 365 account email address
SMTP Password: Your Office 365 account password
The issue with these is that they will ask you to keep your password stored in WP in plain text, which is not safe. You can do this by following the steps mentioned on WP Mail STMP, so you can save them in your wp-config.php file to keep them safe.
Amazon SES with WP Mail STMP to solve WordPress email issue
Amazon AWS has SES, which stands for Simple Email Service, which you can blend in to fix the WP email problem.
Amazon lets you send 62,000 emails per month for free, which is really good news. On the other hand, setting up Amazon can be a bit more complex for a beginner. And this is the reason we would not recommend this to a beginner.
As you know, most professionals and developers use Amazon SES with WP. No matter which email provider you use, always double-check it by sending test emails.
Please check our blogs if you are interested in knowing how to use Amazon SES to fix this issue.

EARTH DAY: Reuse & Recycle Polana Boxes
Polana – that’s the Polish word for an open clearing in a forest, typically considered a perfect spot for a picnic. Nature is not only our source of life and sustenance, but also the source of our planet’s beauty and wonder.
As a small token of care for our earth, we’d like to share a few ideas on how you can reuse your shipping boxes from Polana! Because when it comes to caring for our planet, recycling or reusing our everyday products is a good place to start....
How to Reuse your Polana Shipping Boxes:
1. Use the Styrofoam cooler as a planter for herbs or small flowers! Place the cooler inside a wicker basket, build a wooden frame for it or line it with some fabric or other decorative material, then fill it with soil and plants of choice. It’s a perfect addition for your yard, your garden or even your kitchen.
2. Place it in your trunk for groceries! The Styrofoam cooler that comes in every Polana shipping box can also be reused as a container for your groceries! Place it in the trunk of your car and use it for frozen items you purchase, and/or as a way to keep your grocery items from rolling over inside your vehicle (example: wine bottles)
3. Use it as your summer beverage cooler! As the weather gets warmer and we head outdoors to do our grilling and entertaining, the Polana shipping cooler can come in handy as a container to keep your favorite beverages cold over ice.
4. Build a Compost Bin – Composting is a great way to recycle kitchen scraps and produce great planting soil! You can repurpose your Polana styrofoam cooler by using it as a compost bin - poke a few, small holes through the lid and the container for ventilation and drainage. Then, line the bottom of the cooler with a dry material such as cardboard (here you can use part of the shipping box itself!). This will create the heat source within the bin. Then add a layer of fresh material such as kitchen waste or lawn clippings and cover with another layer of dry material to contain the smell. Add a bit of water and mix each time you add fresh material to the bin. Use the compost as you plant your favorite veggies and flowers in the garden this season!
5. And always remember RECYCLE – if you don’t end up reusing our Polana shipping box or cooler, remember to place them in your recycling bin for proper disposal.
Let’s celebrate our earth today and everyday by treating it with respect and making it a healthier and happier place for generations to come…because a good Polish sandwich will never taste as great as it does when enjoy in the great outdoors!

The innovative method allows developing new manufacturing technologies that use widely available natural fibres like linen or silk instead of man-made plastics.
For Natural Fibre Welding Inc., it was the main aim to develop a scalable fabrication platform that reformats natural fibres like cotton, silk or hemp to create stronger and longer-lasting materials. Nowadays, vegan leathers were largely made by coating natural fibres in plastic.
A circular process for using natural fibres to duplicate a wide variety of materials normally made from plastics is being developed. The process uses chemicals that are completely recovered during the process, the overall effect being to “glue” the fibres together without actually using any glue.
The innovative technology could become a major game-changer for the future of natural fibres, the US Department of Defence experts say. The Pentagon-funded project has developed the process that is setting a precedent to be used for almost any product that currently uses plastic.
As Springwise reports, Natural Fibre Welding eliminates the need for man-made plastic, and could potentially eliminate problems associated with plastic microfiber pollution. The company was awarded almost €1.8 million in small business funding to develop new processes and materials, including electronic textiles.
The process allows complex composite materials to be assembled quickly and efficiently, creating structures with properties that were once only found in plastics. It also allows the company to create fabrics and materials designed for specific purposes. One such product is a faux leather that is completely natural and “tuneable”, its structure altered to give specific properties and performances.
In its turn, Natural Fibre describes its work as “reformatting to broaden the spectrum of natural capabilities.” | <urn:uuid:4ef7ee87-9b14-40c2-84da-f3ff473c9e32> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.politicallore.com/science-a-new-technology-for-creating-natural-fibres/21228 | 2024-04-25T08:10:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.954038 | 352 |
Alexis Ciambotti (DPIR), Manuel Hepfer (Saïd Business School), Matthew Rogers (Computer Science), and Yashovardhan Sharma (Computer Science) completed three rounds of tasks, analysing a range of data and evidence to develop policy recommendations for a hypothetical scenario. Their work was evaluated by a panel of expert judges, representing government, industry, and academia. They were supported by Lucas Kello, Associate Professor of International Relations, who coached the team.
After a facing competition from Queen’s University Belfast and Royal Holloway London, they came first and won a paid summer internship with Sage UK.

Summer Singles Season
We all know how gorgeous it can get outside and how much fun there is to have outside here in the summer. But, if you are looking to play some darts, we have a number of possible options for you over the summer! Stay tuned for another post going over the handful of blind draw tournaments going on around town these days!
Singles Season – Tuesday Nights
This will be a continuation of the format we’ve used the past three summers. It will be a money league with a $30 entry. The payout will be based on legs won throughout the season with everyone receiving a payout.
Each player will play one opponent each week, and both cricket and 501 will be played. It is likely we will just play at the A&L again each week, but if we have a lot of people show interest and sign up, we may expand to other locations as well.
Divisions will be formed using the PADA player rankings, trying to ensure that participants are playing people of relatively similar skill. A note on player rankings: whether you like or dislike, agree with or disagree with the statistical ranking system or your place in the rankings, playing gives everyone the opportunity to prove they belong with a group (reflects an accurate raking) or do not belong in a group (their rank will change more, which is how the system improves).
An important change is that we will do this on Tuesday nights now instead of Thursday. As we are starting a little later this year, we may overlap slightly with the fall team league season, which will require Thursday nights.
Here are the basics:
Sign ups – Tuesday, June 19th
Location TBD (check back for confirmation)
$30 entry for the season
First week: Tuesday, June 26th
Bye week: June 3rd (people gone or busy for the holiday)
Last week of season: Tuesday, September 4th
Playoff week: Tuesday, September 11th
Payout and free entry tournament: Tuesday, September 18th

Portland may already be well-known for its parks, bicycles, soccer and donuts, but it is also gaining ground in the arts world.
Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal profiled Portland as an up-and-coming arts capital. Peter Plagens describes Portland’s art vibe: "[the] residual roughness and collective spirit is reflected in Portland's ever-growing art scene, characterized by a plethora of ‘alternative spaces’."
Portland is home to many up-and-coming creatives, whose work is featured in those "alternative spaces," in art schools like the Pacific Northwest College of Art, world class galleries, and museums. The popular First Thursday event has been encouraging visitors to enjoy our many Northwest Portland galleries for 26 years.
We hope Mr. Plagens is right when he predicts that "for the foreseeable future … artists will keep heading to Portland." They will be welcome!

IT is embarrassing to hear the word black bucket.
Back in the colonial days and even as late as the 70s, black bucket was the toilet pot for any settlement latrine in Port Moresby where there was no proper sewerage system.
This practice was frowned upon but was the only necessary means to remove human waste.
The black bucketers were the men who carried out the eviction of natural ablution and were famously alluded to as the Black Bucket Gang because the buckets they removed and replaced were all black.
The black bucket has remained a stain on our nation, through the inability of our politicians to improve our health via proper water supplies and sewerage systems in our towns and village communities.
Last week, in a debate on the ablutions of the Eastern Highlands Budget of K432 million, an exasperated Kainantu MP William Hagahuno used the word ‘black bucket’ to inadvertently emphasize the lack of development of a proper working sewerage and water supply system in Kainantu Township.
He said: ‘But we don’t have a water supply. The town residents are using pit toilets, with the black bucket system now gone.
“The Kainantu district hospital is recording increasing rate of typhoid in the district.’
The statement alone should send shivers down the backs of those in Waigani. It is no joke. Typhoid kills.
Kainantu is a small urban centre and a proud town. It hosts several important government institutions. Some years ago, policemen who went in search of water to wash in nearby creeks were charged K5 a container!
It is at the crossroads of four eastern highlands districts, Okapa, Henganofi, Obura-Wonenara, Kainantu itself, and Morobe, Madang and the rest of the highlands’ provinces.
Commerce and passengers from Madang and Morobe pass through Kainantu before legging it over Barola Hill onto Goroka, Kainantu, Mount Hagen, Wabag, Mendi and Tari.
Just imagine what a typhoid outbreak in Kainantu could do to the rest of PNG? And that is why Hagahuno and Henganofi MP Robert Atiyafa are very vocal about the town’s water supply and sewerage systems.
The town’s water supply has been hounded by landowners who have shut down the water supply source after the EHPG failed to address their compensatory demands.
A lack of willpower and poor governance has resulted in a K15 million PIP investment in water supply and sewerage works never accounted for an we wonder what happened to the millions of public funds?
It seems the money had evaporated with the black buckets. In 2007, the European Union signed an MoU with the PNG Government to fund a K7.2 million water and sewerage system.
A search reveals the PNG Water Board installed bore water that had a capacity of pumping 1.2 million litres per day for the towns people and surrounding villages.
Whatever it is, it is vitally important for the town to employ a proper sewerage system. Without one, the continuing threat of typhoid increases every day, and our little children are the most vulnerable.
The last thing PNG needs, at this time of natural calamities and ethnic turmoil, is a unhealthy outbreak of typhoid on a massive scale.
Perhaps Mr Hagahuno, and the EHP MP Simon Sia need kickstart a dialogue with the giant K92 Mining to fund the water and sewerage project. | <urn:uuid:cdcfdae7-f851-435d-b3bd-5427eb9d5f68> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.postcourier.com.pg/kainantu-needs-proper-water-and-sewerage-system/ | 2024-04-25T08:57:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.959442 | 745 |

(31 August 2016, Hong Kong) WeWork – the space, community and services provider focused on helping people create their life’s work – announces the launch of its first location in Hong Kong, which will open its doors tomorrow, 1st September. Located in the heart of the city’s most prestigious and iconic business and shopping district, WeWork is set to occupy eight floors in TOWER 535, a grade-A office building in Causeway Bay. WeWork will open three floors tomorrow, with the remaining five floors and its second location in Wan Chai set to open later this year.
The TOWER 535 space has been designed using the proprietary technology invented by WeWork’s in-house design team to encourage open communication and interaction, as well as effective use of space. Each floor boasts an open lounge area which has been designed in collaboration with iconic local architect Nelson Chow. Members can use the venue for seminars, workshops or events, and children are welcome at all WeWork locations.
Commenting on the opening of the Hong Kong space, Ole Ruch, Managing Director for WeWork in Asia-Pacific said, “At WeWork we are thrilled about coming to Hong Kong, and we’re excited to revolutionize the way people work in this bustling, international city by offering our Hong Kong members the space, services and flexibility they need to pursue their life’s work, all while building networks and fostering collaborations with like-minded people around the world who can potentially help their businesses grow.
Hong Kong is an important market for WeWork and we will continue to expand here, as well as in other locations across the region, following our recent openings in Shanghai in July and Seoul in August.”
Henek Lo, the General Manager for WeWork in Hong Kong, Seoul, and Sydney said, “It can be a challenge for businesses who want to expand their footprint into Asia to find a well-designed, functional workspace and a community of business people to connect to in a new market. At WeWork we offer flexibility for business scalability, as well as a network of professionals in Hong Kong and around the globe. Hong Kong is known for its efficiency and government support for new businesses, which makes it a natural choice for our members. Companies set up here to take advantage of the city’s international platform, legal infrastructure and geographic proximity to China and other Asia-Pacific markets.”
WeWork was founded in 2010 to help create a world where people work to make a life, not just a living. There has been a macro shift toward a new way of work – one focused on a movement towards meaning – and WeWork is helping to accelerate this movement. More than 70% of WeWork’s members collaborate with — and benefit from — each other, across various industries by sharing advice and business ideas.
“We have a community manager in each WeWork location, including the newly launched TOWER 535. Our community managers act like stewards who understand members’ businesses and treat it as their own. Their role is to provide tailored services to members based on their needs, help introduce member companies to other they might collaborate with, and ultimately help their business succeed. We organize regular seminars for members to upskill themselves, as well as social events and outings for networking purposes,” added Henek.
Nearly 10,000 companies and over 60,000 members are now based at WeWork locations around the world. Member businesses range from entrepreneurs and start-ups to mid-to-large-sized companies. International locations serve as a base for business travel, as well as offer opportunities for companies to easily expand abroad. Members can choose from a variety of membership plans, which include ‘hot-desking’ – the use of available desks — or renting a private, noise-controlled room.

The digestive system is a network of organs that help in food digestion and nutrient absorption. It comprises your biliary system and gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Your GI tract is made up of a number of interconnected hollow organs that extend from your mouth to your anus. Your biliary system is a network made up of three organs that transport bile and enzymes to your GI tract through your bile ducts.
Your mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus are the organs that make up your GI tract, in the order that they are connected.
Your liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and bile ducts are all part of your biliary system.
Your digestive system is specially designed to do its task of converting food into the nutrients and energy you need to survive. When it's finished, it conveniently bundles your solid waste, or stool, for disposal when you have a bowel movement.
Because your body needs nutrients from the food you consume and the liquids you drink in order to remain healthy and operate normally, digestion is important. Water, vitamins, minerals, proteins, lipids, and carbs are all examples of nutrients. The food and liquids you consume are broken down and their nutrients are absorbed by your digestive system so that you can utilize them for vital functions including energy production, cell growth, and tissue repair.
Your gastrointestinal tract is made up of the primary organs that make up your digestive system. Your mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus are among them. Your liver, gallbladder, and pancreas support your GI organs along the process.
The mouth is where the digestive system begins. Actually, digestion starts even before you eat a bite. As you sight and smell that spaghetti dish or warm bread, your salivary glands begin to work. Once you start eating, you chew your meal to break it up into more easily digestible portions. The meal is partially broken down by your saliva so that it may be absorbed and utilized by your body. Your tongue sends food down your throat and into your esophagus when you swallow.
The esophagus collects food from your mouth when you swallow and is situated in your throat close to your trachea (windpipe).
The epiglottis is a little flap that covers your windpipe as you swallow to stop you from choking on food that gets stuck in your windpipe. Food is delivered to your stomach through a process known as peristalsis, which involves a sequence of muscle contractions in the esophagus.
But before food can enter your stomach, a muscle known as the lower esophageal sphincter, which resembles a ring, just relaxes. The sphincter then tightens, preventing the flow of the stomach's contents back into the esophagus. (If it doesn't and the contents flow back into the esophagus, you may have acid reflux or heartburn.)
The stomach, which is a hollow organ or "container," stores food as it is combined with stomach enzymes. These enzymes proceed with the process of turning food into a form that may be consumed. The breakdown process is carried out by powerful enzymes and a strong acid that are secreted by cells in the lining of your stomach. The stomach's contents enter the small intestine after sufficient processing.
The small intestine is a muscular tube that is 22 feet long and made up of three segments: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. It uses bile from the liver and enzymes secreted by the pancreas to break down food. In this organ, peristalsis is also active, allowing food to pass through and be mixed with pancreatic and liver juices for digestion.
The first part of the small intestine is called the duodenum. It is principally responsible for the continuous breakdown process. The lower portions of the gut, the jejunum and ileum, are primarily in charge of nutrient absorption into the bloodstream.
The contents go from semi-solid to liquid after passing through the small intestine. Water, bile, enzymes, and mucus are all involved in the shift in consistency.It then travels to the large intestine (colon) once the nutrients have been absorbed and the liquid remaining from the meal has passed through the small intestine.
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes into the duodenum, where they break down protein, lipids, and carbs. The pancreas produces insulin, which is then directly injected into the bloodstream. Your body's primary hormone for metabolizing sugar is insulin.
Although the liver performs a variety of tasks in the digestive system, its primary duty is to process the nutrients taken up from the small intestine. The small intestine receives bile from the liver, which is released and is crucial for the digestion of fat and several vitamins.
The liver functions as the body's chemical "factory." The numerous chemicals your body requires to function are created from the basic materials ingested by the intestine.
The liver also detoxifies chemicals that may be dangerous. It disintegrates and secretes a variety of medications that may be hazardous to your body.
Bile produced by the liver is stored in the gallbladder, where it is concentrated before being released into the small intestine's duodenum to aid in the absorption and digestion of lipids.
The colon is in charge of processing waste so that bowel movements are simple and quick. The small intestine is joined to the rectum via a 6-foot-long, muscular tube.
The cecum, the ascending (right) colon, the transverse (across) colon, the descending (left), and the sigmoid colon, which links to the rectum, are the components of the colon.
Peristalsis is the mechanism through which stool, or waste from the digestive process, is moved through the colon. Stool initially passes through the colon in a liquid state, but eventually solidifies. Water is eliminated from stools as they go through the colon. The stool is held in the sigmoid (S-shaped) colon until a "mass movement" once or twice a day empties it into the rectum.
Stool usually passes through the colon in around 36 hours. Food particles and germs predominate in the actual stool. These "good" bacteria carry out a number of beneficial processes, including the synthesis of different vitamins, the processing of food and waste materials, and the defense against harmful bacteria.
The descending colon begins the process of elimination (a bowel movement) when it fills up with stool or feces, and empties its contents into the rectum.
The rectum, a straight 8-inch chamber, joins the colon to the anus. Receiving feces from the colon, alerting you that feces need to be evacuated (pooped out), and holding feces until evacuation takes place are the rectum's duties. In the rectum, sensors alert the brain whenever anything (including gas or feces) enters. After then, the brain makes the decision of whether or not to discharge the rectal contents.
The sphincters loosen up and the rectum contracts, expelling the contents if they can. The sphincter contracts and the rectum adjusts if the contents cannot be disposed of, temporarily numbing the sensation.
The digestive system ends with the anus. The pelvic floor muscles and the two anal sphincters (internal and external) make up the 2-inch-long canal. Rectal contents can be felt via the lining of the upper anus. You can determine whether the contents are solid, liquid, or both.
Sphincter muscles that are important in controlling feces are located all around the anus. The stool cannot come out when it is not supposed to because of the angle that the pelvic floor muscle makes between the rectum and the anus. The internal sphincter is always tight, with the exception of when stool enters the rectum.When we are asleep or otherwise ignorant of the presence of stools, this maintains our continent (prevents us from pooping involuntarily).
When we feel the need to relieve ourselves, we rely on our external sphincter to contain the stool until we approach a toilet, where it relaxes to release the contents.

With less than 40 days to go until the election, foreign policy has been the focus recently with the attacks on our embassies two weeks ago and the United Nations General Assembly taking place this week. The President’s handling of these issues could make or break his fortune in November.
Every day we are learning more information about what the administration knew about the September 11, 2012 attacks on our embassies and when they knew it that contradicts what they’ve said publicly. President Obama and his administration are projecting mixed messages at best, and weakness at worst, to the world. This gross incompetence scares our allies and emboldens our enemies.

Epson is stepping up its ink tank printer game by introducing their latest edition to the EcoTank series: Epson L3060. This printer is categorised as second-generation printers in the EcoTank series; at least the differences in design is obvious. The Epson L3060 printer is one of the front runners in the mid-low range printers for Epson. Today we will review the Epson L3060 printer and analyse each aspect of this printer.
Epson L3060 Printer Review
Print, Copy and Scan Features
The Epson L3060 printer is a multifunction printer. Some of this printer’s features are very similar to its competitors. Especially the core features such as printing, copying and scanning. Let’s look into each feature:
This printer uses Epson’s famous Micro Piezo printhead technology for printing. This printer has a page yield of around 8,000 pages for black and white printing, and 6,500 pages for colour printing. The page yield will vary according to your print settings. If you use high-quality settings, then the page yield might fall to half. This printer has a print speed of 10 impressions per minute for monochrome printing and 5 impressions per minute for colour printing. This is a standard print speed that we can see in almost all printers in this price range.
The cost per print for this printer is around USD 0.004, this will vary according to the print settings and amount of details in your print document. This printer can support page thickness of up to 180 GSM. The recommended duty cycle is 400-600 prints per month.
This printer has a flatbed scanner, which is more than enough for home use and small office use. There are no ADF options, so if you have several pages to scan, you should do it manually.
The copy function is similar to almost all the multifunction printers out there. You can select colour output from the user interface itself, so it’s not necessary to connect with a PC/Laptop to copy pages.
Ink Tank Features
The Epson L3060 printer uses dye-based ink reservoir printing mechanism. The ink refill cost is low compared to the conventional ink cartridge printers. Also, you can get an improved page yield using ink tank printers. Another great thing about ink tank printers is that the refilling process is easy and spill-proof.
Although we can purchase ink refills from third-party sellers for cheap rates, it is advised to buy ink from the manufacturer to reduce the chances of ink clotting in nozzles.
Wireless Connectivity Features
The Epson L3060 printer comes with an in-built single band WiFi connectivity router, which enables wireless printing and internet printing for its users. The internet connectivity option allows us to connect this printer with third-party print service apps such as Google Cloud Print and Apple AirPrint.
If you have connected this printer with the internet, practically you can give print commands from anywhere from the world; cool right? The WiFi feature is especially useful in office environments where a group has to share a printer for their work.
Epson L3060’s UI is somewhat similar to Epson’s higher-end printers. The UI is tiltable so the user can comfortably operate the printer from any angle. However, the lack of display panel is a small letdown from Epson’s side. Without the display, we solely have to rely on the LED indicators to find printer malfunctions/errors, and we can’t track print progress real-time. Apart from that, the UI is very user friendly and easy to operate.
Warranty and OS Support
This printer is compatible with both of the major OSs, namely MS Windows and Mac OS. Until now, there are no major compatibility issues reported, so we can safely assume that this printer is fully compatible with both of these OSs. This printer has a warranty coverage of upto one year.
Pros and Cons of Epson L3060 Printer
To conclude, Epson L3060 is an excellent printer choice for households and small offices where the printing requirement is less than 600 per month. Apart from the lack of display in this printer, this device serves its purpose quite well.

Indoor location platform enhanced citizen safety and first-responder speed-to-response
TORONTO, Dec. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - InnerSpace, an IoT-based indoor location intelligence platform for Smart Buildings, today announced it was selected to support the Center for Innovative Technology's (CIT) active shooter training exercise held on November 18, 2019 at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. The exercises were part of the Smart City Initiative funded by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Connecting to CIT partner Mutualink's Internet of Public Safety Things® (IoPST®) network, InnerSpace provided its indoor location platform, including first-responder tracking capabilities, to give first-responder teams the ability to visualize the location and movement of citizens and responders in active shooter scenarios.
"Smart Building solutions that leverage existing infrastructure like WiFi, are critical to the future of Smart City and emergency response strategies," said Dr. Mike Wengrovitz, VP of Innovation, Mutualink. "The success of the exercises in Virginia demonstrated the potential for how first responders can leverage innovative data sources to quickly locate citizens in emergency situations."
"The exercises conducted on November 18 are an excellent example of how the Department of Homeland Security is collaborating with a variety of emerging technologies to advance citizen safety," said David Ihrie, Chief Technology Officer, Center for Innovative Technology. "In conjunction with leading innovation partners such as Smart City Works, Innerspace and Mutualink will continue to advance sustainable, safe and technology-enabled communities for the State of Virginia."
"InnerSpace is proud to support the forward-thinking solutions CIT and Mutualink are creating to improve citizen safety and the ability for first responders to react quickly in emergency situations," said James Wu, CEO, InnerSpace. "The passive and anonymous location data our platform provides can be integrated with advanced communications systems to improve time-to-response, responder safety, and rescue directives for all levels of government."
The InnerSpace platform is the most accurate WiFi-based indoor location platform available on the market today. Achieving location five-times more accurate than the leading network provider, InnerSpace can identify the location of citizens in emergency situations by assessing the presence of smart devices like smartphones, laptops and smart watches within a building. Emergency responders use the company's asset tracking tags to allow command teams to direct rescue teams to improve response times.

Home Odor Removal
Ozone is a great home odor eliminator because it attacks odors at their source. Permanent home odor removal with ozone will also kill germs and bacteria and will sanitize your home.
Home odor removal is necessary because smells develop from various sources such as tobacco/cigarette smoke, pets, cooking, moisture, mold, and body odors.
Ozone is also a great method for removing skunk odor from home.
These odors are not only in the air.
There are in walls, ceilings, cabinets and furniture. They also stick in carpets, curtains and clothes in your bathroom, kitchen, bedroom etc.
Ozone treatment removes household odors very effectively.
For example, rental properties designated as non-smoking is often smoked in by the occupant. Simply cleaning it will not eliminate smoking odors because the fumes penetrate the furniture and fabrics, and tobacco smoke residue sticks in the walls, ceilings, inside closets and cabinets and most other surfaces.
For all renters, realtors, homeowners, property managers, landlords and hotel managers. | <urn:uuid:217d7df2-7324-42d7-984a-24bd624b382c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.prozoneclean.com/home-odor-removal | 2024-04-25T08:03:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.946965 | 222 |
The dam of the Labeška pond is the location of one of the most romantic structures in the Park – the wooden timbered building with a thatched roof, the so-called Czech Cottage. The fisherman-hut-style building was bought by the founder of the Park at the Czechoslavic Ethnographic Exhibition in 1895 and transported to Průhonice. The timbered Cottage served for the purposes of the Park pond management and as a base during hunts and fish harvesting. Thanks to its romantic appearance the Cottage and the Park itself are popular with film crews and often appear in Czech and international movies, including fairy tales. Czech fairy tales filmed in the Park are the focus of the exposition in the Czech Cottage. | <urn:uuid:734b2aaa-aa9a-4dd7-9b27-d4ecb0a9a5d5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.pruhonickypark.cz/en/point/czech-cottage/ | 2024-04-25T08:56:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.96898 | 151 |
With its strong presence in the Library sector and scores of clients, BMI made its first appearance at the Tennessee Library Association Conference.
SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 17, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- BMI Imaging Systems, Inc. recently attended and exhibited at the Tennessee Library Association (TLA) conference in Memphis, TN.
Being involved in the library and newsprint archiving business since the 1960s, checking out a conference that its team had not previously attended was an easy decision to make. With a client base that spans across the country, BMI's sales team is constantly looking for library and archives conferences that provide new interactions with the people that maintain local history.
Will Whitney, Head of Sales and Marketing, says that "We're always looking for ways to interact with existing and future clients. Conferences have traditionally been a part of our overall sales effort, and they're great ways to support the industries we work with and get a chance to be face-to-face with the people in that industry. Coincidentally, we recently hired a sales rep in Tennessee so it made it a no-brainer to get him out to Memphis and exhibit with the folks at TLA. It was a double plus for us: we get to exhibit at a conference we haven't been to before, and our new rep gets field-tested by being dropped into the fire of a conference. Can't get any better than that."
BMI Imaging Systems (originally Bay Microfilm Incorporated) incorporated in 1958 as a microfilm service bureau, working with County Recorders to archive land records on microfilm. In the early 1960s, services were expanded to include preservation microfilming of the rare books and manuscripts of leading California Universities. A Library Microfilms Division was also established, working with over 200 newspaper publishers to preserve California local history for libraries and archivists. A reputation for service, precision, and reliability led to steady expansion of BMI's government, education, and commercial clients over the next two decades. By the early 1990's, the records management industry had entered the digital age and BMI was at the forefront of this evolution. Clients were meeting their electronic document management needs by having BMI digitize their records, with BMI installing and supporting on-site document management software solutions.
Today, BMI's production capability includes two imaging facilities with a staff of more than 60 technicians. With a focus on quality, accuracy, security, and innovation, BMI provides custom solutions that fit the unique requirements of each of its customers. In addition to providing document/microform imaging and indexing services of the highest standard, BMI offers public tenant, private tenant, and CJIS (Criminal Justice Information Services)-compliant community cloud hosting services, enabling secure access to client data via the Web. BMI also provides systems integration services, implementing turnkey document capture, management, and workflow solutions. BMI employs an in-house software development staff, a project management customer support staff, along with IT professionals that support internal and Web hosting operations.

Life sure was nice before the prudes came along.
This promo photo was made for the 1933 pre-Code musical Footlight Parade, which, as the image suggests, contained some fairly racy scenes. James Cagney is in the center here, with Ruby Keeler at left, two actresses we can't identify, and Lorraine Marshall at right. Movies made in 1933 and before are generally considered pre-Code, but the Hays Code censorship regime actually was created in increments beginning in 1927 before reaching something like final form in 1930. Few people had any interest in enforcing it right away, so it didn't become rigid until 1934, at which point it successfully shackled cinematic expression for thirty years, until Hollywood was driven to imitate the envelope pushing films coming out of Europe. The Code covered anything and everything: drugs, profanity, ridicule of the clergy, defeat of the law, and more, but of course it was primarily designed to block sexual material, which means that in practical terms, Cagney never got to be the center of a sandwich like this in a photo again.
Which one liked to wallow in crap more? National Examiner or Adolf Hitler?
National Examiner offers up a provocative cover on this issue that hit newsstands today in 1973, with an unidentified blonde model and the promise of expert lovemaking tips. Nothing new there. What's different is this issue takes Adolf Hitler's corpse for a gallop around a well-traveled track. The article “Hitler's Strange Desires” digs into der Führer's toilet training, his family background, his private writings and public statements, and comes to the conclusion: sexual pervert! The piece discusses Hitler's “sexual inadequacy and impotence, frail body and softness that was almost effeminate,” and reveals how he doted on his mother but eventually felt betrayed by her, stating, “This sudden indignation with his mother could have been caused if he saw his parents having intercourse.” The ultimate conclusion is no surprise: “[Because of] his extreme form of masochism [he derived] sexual gratification from the act of having a woman urinate or defecate on him.” As psychological disturbances go, you can take your pick here. Like beer in a Berlin rathskeller, Hitler allegedly had multiple flavors on tap, and they culminated in turning him into a shit freak. That's amusing to consider, but was it anything other than pure bullshit itself? Labeling Hitler a disturbed child-turned sexual deviant was a mini-industry in the decades after his death, and the rumors started by these reports are still prevalent today. We get it—by making him into a non-human it's easyto distance him from the rest of us, but as far as we know there's no evidence he was anything other than a heterosexual who had run-of-the-mill sex, or for that matter that he was anything other than a run-of-the-mill human. Many people would love for the stories to be true, but they're just too easy. We don't blame Examiner for beating that Hitler horse, though. Everybody did it—it sold piles of papers.
Examiner goes for lighter material elsewhere in the issue, with an update on the whereabouts of Canadian actress Ruby Keeler, a story about a wife who makes her husband take her to a swingers club so she can get some strange dick, and a pervy advertisement for instant peepholes we know would be illegal to use today, and which we suspect were illegal to use back then too. Other celebrities who make appearances include Maria LaTour and Monika Zinnenberg. In fact, on closer examination that unidentified cover model might be Zinnenberg. She made the usual slate of bad West German comedies and exploitation flicks during the ’60s and ’70s before leveraging her front-of-the-camera work into a directing career which she sustained all the way up until 2012. And finally there's a centerspread on the benefits of yoga, featuring stars like Cary Grant, Geraldine Chaplain, and Barbara Parkins touting its benefits. That's about it for this Examiner. Scans below, and more here and here.
When you’re smiling the whole world smiles with you. The gent with the enormous smile here is Joe E. Brown, one of America’s most famous comedian-actors during the 1930s and 1940s, seen on the cover of Het Weekblad (The Weekly), which was a popular celeb-cinema magazine published in the Netherlands for many years. This issue, which is numbered 620, hit newsstands today in 1935. Inside are interesting photos of Shirley Temple, Winifred Shaw, Ruby Keeler, a very nice ink drawing of Joan Crawford by Arturo Sanchez, and more. Scans below.
The headlines that mattered yesteryear.
In Detective Comics #27, DC Comics publishes its second major superhero, Batman, who becomes one of the most popular comic book characters of all time, and then a popular camp television series starring Adam West, and lastly a multi-million dollar movie franchise starring Michael Keaton, then George Clooney, and finally Christian Bale. 1953—Crick and Watson Publish DNA Results
British scientists James D Watson and Francis Crick publish an article detailing their discovery of the existence and structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, in Nature magazine. Their findings answer one of the oldest and most fundamental questions of biology, that of how living things reproduce themselves. 1967—First Space Program Casualty Occurs
Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov dies in Soyuz 1 when, during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere after more than ten successful orbits, the capsule's main parachute fails to deploy properly, and the backup chute becomes entangled in the first. The capsule's descent is slowed, but it still hits the ground at about 90 mph, at which point it bursts into flames. Komarov is the first human to die during a space mission. 1986—Otto Preminger Dies
Austro–Hungarian film director Otto Preminger, who directed such eternal classics as Laura, Anatomy of a Murder, Carmen Jones, The Man with the Golden Arm, and Stalag 17, and for his efforts earned a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, dies in New York City, aged 80, from cancer and Alzheimer's disease. 1998—James Earl Ray Dies
The convicted assassin of American civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., petty criminal James Earl Ray, dies in prison of hepatitis aged 70, protesting his innocence as he had for decades. Members of the King family who supported Ray's fight to clear his name believed the U.S. Government had been involved in Dr. King's killing, but with Ray's death such questions became moot.

Highest purity guarantee despite complex component geometry and minimal space requirements
The components are fed to the plant after mechanical processing and are contaminated with particles, oils and greases. Tests in the PURIMA pilot plant have shown that a combination of multiple alternating rinsing and ultrasonic treatment in alkaline aqueous solution provides optimum cleaning results. After cleaning, the components are rinsed 2 times. One of the systems is installed on a platform and had to be divided into 6 individual modules for transport due to small feed routes in the plant and low ceiling heights already in the design phase.
Fully automated system enables high cycle times with high parts diversity
The plant is integrated into a fully automated production nest, is loaded and unloaded with robots and is operated in three shifts. Due to different components on the same production line, the component fixtures are universally designed. Each of the 4 different components has a defined place on the fixture. It is not necessary to retool the system when changing components.
Reliable handling in the plant by robots
The components are highly scoopable and complex in their geometry. A robot is installed in the plant to maintain the high cycle times and to prepare for drying. The robot serves as a transfer unit between the processes and empties scooping areas by making several turns of up to 180° at defined angles. A hot air dryer and a vacuum dryer with 2 positions guarantee complete dryness of the components when they are discharged from the system. | <urn:uuid:a5b6c2ad-727d-4a37-8938-5857c5f8978a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.purima.de/en/commissioning-of-a-robot-system-for-cleaning-components-from-exhaust-gas-cooling-systems/ | 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 | 0.948274 | 299 |

Should you double up on masks for extra protection? Plus how best to wear your mask
By Radiant HealthPublished: July 16, 2021
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently completed a study on the efficacy ratings for different kinds of masks. The data led the organization to recommend wearing a surgical mask under a cloth mask for optimal protection against the coronavirus. The CDC advises against layering two surgical masks for extra protection because it’s ineffective.
A recent study found that using this combination of masks reduced transmission of aerosol particles by 95% compared to no mask at all. Although double masking is the gold standard, it’s also important to note that wearing any type of mask provides some protection.
You can also use a mask fitter or brace to help prevent air from leaking out between your face and the mask. If you want extra protection, you can also knot the ear loops and make sure both masks fit snugly against the face. Watch how to correctly tie knots in the ear loops of your surgical mask.

GB Railfreight signs three-year deal with DP World London Gateway
GB Railfreight has today announced that it has signed a three-year contract to manage the movements and preparations of trains running in and out of the DP World London Gateway Port.
The company started its operations at the Gateway in March earlier this year, and under the new contract will expand its presence at the port and add eight employees who were previously working at the port to its workforce.
Today’s contract is significant for GB Railfreight as it allows the company to develop a larger and more reliable rail operation to support DP World’s operations.
The company said it welcomes the opportunity to streamline processes and create a “more positive rail experience for all at the port”.
“GB Railfreight is delighted to announce that it will be supporting DP World in the smooth operations of its London Gateway facility,” said John Smith, managing director of GB Railfreight.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to develop our services in London and ensure that the economy continues to function effectively.
“Additionally, that efforts to lower air pollution through the reduction of lorries on the capital’s roads are successful,” he concluded. “We hope to continue to build on this relationship and ensure that passengers receive the optimum service.” | <urn:uuid:2a13da44-e017-4108-96ce-7e707a64ed42> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.railtechnologymagazine.com/Rail-News/gb-railfreight-signs-three-year-deal-with-dp-world-london-gateway- | 2024-04-25T07:24:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.973628 | 279 |
Tony Tiger (Muscogee/Sac & Fox-Seminole) is an award-winning painter, printmaker, and mixed media artist, who was born in Los Angeles, California in 1964. His artwork is shown in national solo as well as group exhibitions, for example in the Changing Hands: Art Without Reservations 3 exhibition at the Museum of Art and Design in Manhattan, New York City. In addition, he has been part of several exhibitions as a curator, among them Art from Indian Territory: Contemporary Native Art from Oklahoma at the All My Relation Gallery in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
“My art is an exploration of the human experience through symbol and metaphor; mankind is more than mere reflections in the mirror we are soul and spirit” Tony Tiger
Tony attended the Seminole State College in Oklahoma and then the Oklahoma State University for his B.F.A. and the University of Oklahoma for his M.F.A. Until today, he goes back to these institutions in order to learn more about exhibiting his own art, encourage students, or to give lectures on contemporary Native American art. His art education gave him a better understanding of Western art theory, including Native and non-Native criticism. After his graduation from the University of Oklahoma, Tony became the director of the art department at Bacone College on Muscogee Creek Nation Land.
Nowadays, Tony is concentrating his full-time career on his art, while mentoring younger artists, and curating new shows about Native American art. Tiger describes his art as an expression of “the commonalities of humanity, the mystery and wonder of life itself, and the fantastic journey I have been allowed to experience these last 50 years.”
“As an outdoorsman, I always appreciated the wonder of color in nature, having witnessed numerous sunrises and sunsets while sitting in a tree or ground blind river or lakeshore. This allowed me to observe the process of the illumination of color in nature and how it changes, even in a matter of minute.” TT
Tony Tiger’s understanding and interest of color is broadened not only by his education, but also through his own exploration of color. His use of color is shaped by his boyhood observations in nature and tribal ancestor’s use of it. Furthermore, he applies color symbolic in his work. While red may be a representation of blood, passion, or sacrifice, dark blue can refer to deep thoughts. One of his latest curatorial project, titled Evolution of Color, is among others influenced by his interest in color.
Tony Tiger’s paintings with bright hues of red, orange, ochre, sky blue and grass green mixed with deeper browns and purples as contrast,reveal his appreciation of the ‘wonder of color’ in nature. Tiger, a Muscogee, Sac & Fox and Seminole artist, is also inspired by the uses of colour in the traditional ribbon-work appliqué designs of Sac and Fox regalia and in Seminole patchwork, both of which show expressive and highly creative uses of colour. | <urn:uuid:8ba9095d-3bd8-4055-975d-80fd7c20ee33> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.rainmakerart.co.uk/tony-tiger/ | 2024-04-25T07:43:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.971061 | 634 |

Raised garden beds are becoming increasingly popular for a number of reasons. They require less weeding, provide more growing space, and are an elegant solution for locations that have poor soil. A raised bed is warmer earlier in the year which extends the growing season, aids in preventing depredations by moles, gophers and other pests, and promotes water retention.
They can be created at any height for ease, comfort, and to accommodate individuals with disabilities. They can be constructed with a multitude of materials ranging from wood and metal stock tanks to blocks and concrete and can last for up to 20 years, depending on the selected materials. The beauty of a raised bed is that it can rest on the ground or on support legs for an elevated solution.
The best lumber for gardens constructed of wood is redwood, cedar, or black locust due to their resistance to rot and treated lumber is safe to use for raised beds. Cinder blocks and concrete are durable but can retain more heat than is desirable in the South Florida climate. Cinderblocks are far less expensive than concrete and individuals are getting creative with recycled items.
Raised beds can be constructed in any size dimensions or shapes desired. The beds don’t have to be deep to be effective. A raised bed that’s 14 inches high will accommodate most plants, while some have had success with beds built of untreated 2x4s for a height of six inches.
No matter what material or form that individuals choose, laying down plastic or other types of gardening material in the bottom before adding soil is critical for gardens resting on the ground. Failure to do so will result in weed growth coming from beneath the bed.
Raised gardens offer multiple benefits and enables gardeners to maximize their tillable area. Once the beds are installed, there will be far less work to keep them weed-free. Individuals can begin their annual planting much earlier whether it’s a vegetable oasis, kitchen garden spices, or simply a place to plant flowers for personal enjoyment.

Congratulations to Connor, age 9, from Stanton Community Primary School who is our Star of the Month for March.
Connor’s teacher, Kerry Harris tells us:
“In terms of achievement at school I can say that Connor no longer dreads reading and not just on Reading Plus either, he is much more comfortable and confident to read actual books. Being able to understand and articulate his areas for development has given Connor some very tailored targets to work on.
“I have known Connor for five years now and taught him for three of them. His dyslexia diagnosis highlighted some of his barriers to reading but it had already ‘turned him off’ reading, plus finding age-appropriate texts that use the correct developmental level of phonetic development is a challenge, especially when you factor in that he really needs to be interested in it!
“Whilst using Reading Plus is still in the early phases at our school. It was a huge bonus during lockdown, something that could be easily accessed in the home, but monitored by school. Reading Plus tailors itself to each individual child’s areas of development after assessing them which is something I have never experienced as a teacher, but such an amazing idea as the development of readers is such a personal thing. It is great to hear the hush descend on the ICT suite as 31 children get logged in, but most of all I love the random exclamations ‘Mrs Harris did you know that…’ as they read something that they find so amazing they can’t help to share it.”
Connor’s mum, Lauren, said:
“During lockdown 3.0 Connor spent little and often using the Reading Plus programme. With his dyslexia it can be a challenge for him to read, even about things he enjoys! When Connor used the programme I got to see first-hand his understanding of written text develop and with that his confidence reading texts he wasn’t familiar with soared.”
Connor adds: “I like reading plus because it’s given me more confidence when I read my books at home. I learnt to slow down which helps me understand things more.”
Nominate a pupil for Reading Solutions UK Star of the Month here.

This week’s podcast guest is Matthew Sheffield, the founder and editor of Flux, a new online community for progressive writers and podcasters. I was interested in talking to Matthew about his earlier life experience as someone who was present when right-wing media really started building the echo chamber. The interview went pretty long, so this is part one of two. The second portion will be posted next week.
The Present Age is a reader-supported newsletter. Please subscribe. Thank you!
Parker Molloy: Joining me today is Matthew Sheffield. One of the first things I wanted to ask you is can you tell me a little bit about your connection to right-wing media? How it started, what you did, how your views changed over time, how your involvement changed over time. You offered to share the tale of your exit from the world of right-wing media and I would absolutely love to hear it.
Matthew Sheffield: Okay, all right. Well, my background is I was raised as a Fundamentalist Mormon, and Mormons basically, a lot of people don't know, but Mormons actually are the original Christian Nationalists. Mormonism was founded on the idea that America was the choice land above all other lands. That's literally in the Book of Mormon. And that Christopher Columbus was moved upon by the holy spirit to discover America even though he never came here, but... And so Mormons, to some degree, kind of created the environment then rubbed off on a lot of people.
I was brought up in that environment very much to a large degree. I have seven siblings, and my family and I, we traveled all over America doing an informal ministry because Mormons don't actually have ministries; they're not allowed to have them by their church. It's a very centralized bureaucratic church, and so I was in that. Part of it was that we were so disenchanted with the regular Mormon church. It wasn't fundamentalist enough for us. But luckily, we were not into polygamy, so that was at least good for us in that regard.
But I didn't want to go on a regular Mormon mission because when you turn 19, that's what young men are expected to do. But I was so disenchanted, I was like, "No, I want to do something else." And it was, unfortunately, a really bad idea in retrospect, but in any case, we started traveling around America playing classical music on the street, literally. That was my misspent youth.
We did that, and in the course of doing that, for whatever reason... This was the pre-internet days. We actually watched the evening news on TV, and our family watched the CBS Evening News. During the imbroglio over Bill Clinton's impeachment, we decided that we thought Dan Rather... One of my brothers and I decided we thought Dan Rather was unfair. In retrospect, he's obviously shown he's a fairly progressive guy.
But anyway, we decided we were going to start a website called ratherbiased.com, and it basically was blogging before there was even a word for it. We got picked up all over the place. I guess people liked it, or some people liked it. We did that for a few years until we got thoroughly and utterly sick of talking about Dan Rather, and so we quit the site in 2002 and we got so many requests to bring it back for 2004 from our... Because we left the site up but we didn't want to do it. But so many people were like, "Please, please bring this site back." And so we said, "Fine, we will." But we had decided at that point we're definitely going to stop no matter what after the election's over.
Well, after the election was over, we actually kept going because Dan Rather had gotten involved with that document scandal where he used fake documents to say that George W. Bush had avoided the draft in the Vietnam War. I think that's probably true that Bush did that, but when you're using documents that were typed up in Microsoft Word and you're presenting them as if they were made on a typewriter, that's pretty embarrassing.
Anyway, that just exploded in popularity. We thought, my brother and I, we were tired of our family ministry by that point but we had no way out to go and do something on our own. None of us had ever had an internship, none of us had any friends because we lived basically a nomadic lifestyle. We grew up in trailer parks and tents, so yeah, we had no network. I went to I think eight different colleges, and I have two other ones from my high school years, so I've got 10 universities on my transcript.
Originally, we thought, well what if we had a website that brought together left and right-wing media criticism? We actually started recruiting a bunch of people for it, and there was a ton of interest for it and people liked this idea. We actually found... before they had signed on with anyone, we found Matt Yglesias. We also found Ezra Klein while they were in college and a bunch of other right-of-center people, and so a lot of people wanted to do this but then we got to the point where we realized, oh, we don't have any money. We can't pay anybody to do this stuff and we have no way of raising money. We're like, fuck, I guess we'll have to just go into right-wing media because we have no other options.
It was a weird moment because I remember I applied... I had never even applied for a job before, and so I went up and applied for, I think it was Nordstrom Rack or something like that and they never got back to me, and I was like, man, I don't know. I have no idea what to do. My university people had no interest in helping me, and so we're like, all right, well I guess we'll team up with a media research center and start News Busters. News Busters was basically like a large format version of what we had been doing at ratherbiased.com, and they had apparently seen what we were doing. Actually, we ended up getting more publicity for our stuff than they did, and so we started News Busters. After that, it was basically the first-ever think tank blog publication out there as far as I know. And then a bunch of people started trying to get into that business as well and Heritage Foundations did it, and actually, Media Matters, as I understand, was inspired by what we were doing to some degree. And then I started a business basically sort of duplicating that idea.
Had only Nordstrom Rack gotten back to you, this could've all been avoided.
Apparently yeah, yep. We did that for a while and then I actually tried to do that... After we started working with them, the first day after we moved out... My brother and I actually had money, we could move out so we did as soon as possible. And I was 27 at the time, and we both... The first Sunday after we left, moved out, my mom had put up a paper on our kitchen because we were living together, actually. She put a paper on it for the address of the local Mormon church, and my brother and I, we got up on Sunday morning with enough time to go to it, but then I looked over and him and I said, "I don't want to go. Do you want to go?" "No," so we didn't and we never did. We never went again after that.
Anyway, long story short, our faith in Mormonism and religion generally collapsed after that, but not our interest in right-wing activism. I, for a number of years, tried to make space for non-Christians in the Republican party. And, well, ultimately that was a fool's errand as I soon discovered. Well, not soon, I eventually discovered. I guess the big catalyst for that discovery... Well, there was a couple of things. One was that I kept noticing how people were stealing my ideas on the right. I would go to an organization and say, "Hey, I've built these things here that have millions of readers that are nationally known. I could do that for you." And then they would say, "Well, I don't know, I don't know," and then a few months later big fundraising campaign: We're doing this large website and we need your money.
Yeah, and so that kept happening to me. At first, I thought, well maybe it's just because I'm not... I don't know. Because I grew up in a trailer park and I don't know anybody. I'm not an elite Republican consultant or whatever. And that's what I thought for a while. But then eventually I decided to start writing a book to try to improve conservative politics. And by improve, I also meant to help them become more responsive to public sentiment, so public opinion. And in the course of doing that I began researching why do they pursue these ideas that people don't want? Where does that come from? I had always stayed away from the religious right just by being not religious, but I actually started reading their stuff and I was horrified at what I was seeing.
I remember reading a story of this man who was, he's a Hindu priest and he was invited to give the... The US Capitol has a daily prayer session at the beginning of all their... when they're in session, and they invite different people do to it. And this guy, who was a Hindu priest, was invited to do it. And so he got up to do it and people started... They invaded the Capitol, actually. This was a predecessor of January 6th, and no one has ever heard of it. But this happened, and they invited the rotunda and started screaming about Satan and, "We have to stop this." They were demanding that he be arrested. It was awful.
I was like, is this what I am helping here? And so I started trying to rewrite to, I don't know, oppose that Christian nationalist extremism, but eventually, I got to the point where I realized, you know what? The reason that they do these things is because they think they're God's servants. I could write all the best words, to use Trump's phrase. I could have all the best words, the best-written book in human history and it wouldn't matter because they're doing these things because they think God wants them to do it. And their ability to distinguish between their own ideas and the will of God is none; it's nonexistent. And it was a profoundly depressing realization because I had thought that there were sincere motives about policy and America and the public service and things like that, but I realized, no, it isn't that. And so I had written 80,000 words at that point, and... And I actually had a publisher as well, but I couldn't do it, I couldn't do it so I pulled it off the... I withdrew it. I went into depression, actually, I did.
Yeah, it makes sense.
Yeah. Yeah, and it was like, I didn't want to do that, though, because this was the second existential crisis in my life. Most people, they may have one, but here I was having a second one.
How old were you at the time?
I think I was 39, 38, something like that.
Yeah. Two big, existential crises by that point-
Before you're 40.
That's rough. See, my trick is that I start with one and I just keep that crisis going my entire life. Which, actually, just really quick, one thing I was thinking about because I actually had not heard the story of the Hindu priest. I just googled it and I'm honestly amazed that I had not ever heard of this, and I'm going to read up on it later, but one thing you said that caught my attention was that... And this is something that I have always been trying to figure out is that people do these things because they honestly believe this is the will of God and all of that stuff. And I've always wondered, these people actually believe? Because the way that a lot of people involved in the religious right seem to act, it's kind of like if there's a hell, dude, you're going to it. I've read the Bible cover to cover and I know that a lot of the attitudes just aren't consistent with any actual teaching. There's no way that people can actually believe all this pretty hateful stuff when it comes to treating other people as equals and whatnot. But you said that you think that, generally speaking, the people involved in the religious right actually do believe in what they're saying. They're not just saying it for the sake of advancing their political worldview, but rather that they actually believe these sorts of things.
Oh yeah. No, they-
It's their responsibility to-
No, they believe everything that they say.
Well, that's kind of terrifying.
It is. After I had discovered that, I started publishing about it to some degree, or trying to. And a lot of people didn't even want to publish what I was writing.
I'll give you an example. I had written a 5,000 word piece for the Atlantic. Somebody there had asked me to write it. And I showed how Ben Shapiro's right-wing views were not really different from this white nationalist guy named Nick Fuentes. And I literally had audio of him bashing Jewish people; Ben Shapiro bashing Jewish people on a white nationalist podcast.
Oh yeah, was it Red Ice Radio?
Yeah, I've listened to that one too. I probably saw it because you posted it somewhere.
I'm guessing, yeah. But yeah, nobody had seen that before. But most people who follow politics I would say haven't seen it, and so I was able to... Anyway, I finished the story. It was impeccably documented. There was no possible way that anyone could sue you based on this story because it was 100% true. I based it on the... Fuentes, he and his fans had started trying to... Basically, they were trying to take over the Turning Point USA audience because they both are effectively going for the same group; right-wing, young Christians. And so they were showing up at Charlie Kirk events, and they showed up for one out here in Los Angeles with Donald Trump Jr., and they humiliated him. I told the entire backstory of how this happened, why it's so hard for Charlie Kirk's... Why his audience keeps becoming white nationalists. And anyway, so I sent it to him and the guy who was my editor, he said, "Oh, this is fantastic but, I'm sorry, I can't print it." And then I said, "Well, why? Why can't you print it?" And he never responded.
Oh, that's awful.
It is. That attitude, though, I kept encountering it over and over and over. There is this sentiment among a lot of elite journalists that they don't take these people seriously. They think that they're just a bunch of redneck losers who are masturbating into a teddy bear, or whatever; to Jesus and Donald Trump pictures. That's how they see them. And they have no idea that these people have gigantic, massive audiences. I've heard people say, "Oh, well I don't want to give so-and-so a platform." And it's like, they have a bigger audience than you, okay?
Yeah, that was always funny when I was at Media Matters and I'd post an article that I wrote about Tucker Carlson, and I'd have someone who's like, "Why are you giving him a platform?" And it's like, I hate to break this to you, but he has far more viewers than I have for years, exponentially so, you know?
Yeah. There is this naïve attitude that a lot of people in the establishment left have. They don't understand how small of a space they occupy in the American mind. For instance, I remember having an argument; I was on a debate show one time with somebody who was at the Free Beacon, and they were trying to say, "Oh, Alex Jones, he's just this fringe figure." And I said, "Alex Jones has about 10 times the audience, web audience alone, of your publication. Does that mean you're a fringe figure?" And of course, they didn't respond to that.
Yeah. That's a great point because... And it kind of shows... What am I trying to say? That's a great point and it gets at something else that I've been thinking a lot about which is this idea that, oh, don't pay attention to Alex Jones, don't pay attention to Marjorie Taylor Greene, ignore them, ignore them. These people are fringe, as their audiences keep growing and as their influence keeps growing. That's something that just happens in politics, and I see people brush off fringe elements of something. And I'll just kind of think to myself five years from myself, that's not going to be fringe whatever gets said there. Alex Jones, that's been one hell of a trip following his career for as long as I have.
Yeah. Well, and now Tucker Carlson, the number one host in Fox News and the highest-rated television personality in America is basically Alex Jones light. And Alex Jones himself actually said this the other day. He said, "I've been so pleased to see what a great patriot Tucker Carlson has become." And then meanwhile the rest of the liberal Hollywood elite continue to do business with his paymaster, Rupert Murdoch. Ultimately, people need to understand that this is not Tucker Carlson doing this, this is Rupert Murdoch doing this. And if you, as a Hollywood studio or movie star or whatever, you work with him in any capacity, you are supporting Tucker Carlson.
Yeah. I worked at Media Matters, which is kind of the... I don't want to say the flip side because I feel like it equates the two, but it's the left-leaning counterweight to News Busters, basically, for about two-and-a-half years. And while Media Matters I think does some great work, in my view it's an organization that the right dismisses out of hand and mainstream outlets often seem reluctant to rely on for fear for being slammed by the right for relying on some study that we did over there or some data that we pulled or even some quote that we found because that's 90% of what Media Matters does is just taking clips in context and posting them to the site that's just like, hey, on Alex Jones' show today he went on a five-minute rant about whatever. Those things are good to know because most people aren't just going to sit there and listen to three hours of Alex Jones every day, and that's probably for the best. But one thing that was frustrating about that is that working at Media Matters kind of made it really difficult to get a lot of my arguments through the noise.
And so one thing I really want to ask you is just what don't people get about right-wing media that perhaps coming from you and not me, from your point of view, from your involvement in all of this as you were realizing this and making your decisions to distance yourself from that movement, what don't they understand that you might help them get it? That you saying it might help them get it. Sorry if that was confusing.
There is a few things. One is that the generic Republican Capitol hill professional class establishment is much closer to the white nationalist or Christian supremacists fringe than you have any idea. And just as an example, the... You've got a number of Republican members of Congress who have said that biological evolution is a lie from Satan. That is a ridiculous extremist position, and a lot of Republican officials believe it. Mike Pence believes it. And there were real implications, real-world implications of these beliefs because it means that you don't accept science. And in the case of the COVID-19 pandemic, that's is a reason that they were so prone to these stupid conspiracy theories or dumb medical things. Yeah, people always say, "Well, I don't understand, why do Republicans like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin so much? Why do they like it? It must be Trump." And it's like, no, it isn't because there are 70 years of religious nut jobs selling people herbs and spices and telling them that these are God's cures for cancer or pneumonia or whatever. They've had a business of this and nobody paid attention to it on the left or in the establishment press.
This is a cancer that has been growing in America, and you have to pay attention to it, not just when they invade the Capitol and try to kill the vice president. It's something that has to be... The average person has to know how radical these people are. And the connections are just so clear.
You mentioned Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Georgia congresswoman that I remember people, after she was first elected, were like, "Oh, this is just a fringe person. Republicans are not going to respond to her. She's just a freak Qanon person." But low and behold, she is now one of the most prolific Republican members of the house at fundraising. She's rolling in money and is routinely defended and promoted by Fox News.
It's almost like there is this old internet meme, the rules of the internet, right? You remember those? I think it was 50 or whatever it was, but rule number 34 was if it exists, there is porn of it. And there was basically a rule 34 of conservative politics. If it's insane enough, eventually they will believe it. And that's what people need to understand. There is nothing too crazy or too dumb that they won't believe.
But here's the other thing, in terms of right-wing media: It is their ace in the hole for politics. The Virginia gubernatorial race, it's such a great example of that.
Here you had Glenn Youngkin, who is basically a Mitt Romney clone, boring, rich, out-of-touch plutocrat; destroyed people's lives in private equity.
The ideas and experience of Mitt Romney but with the sweater vest of Rick Santorum.
Yeah, basically. And so this is not someone that a normal person would want to vote for. It just isn't. But what was key for him was this lie campaign that was ginned up in right-wing media. And they had two primary lies. One was that they had fabricated several incidents about supposed transgender bathroom violence.
Well, yeah, no, but it's important, though, to... Since I mentioned it, though, I have to... There was this incident that... alleged incident that happened in a school in X-urban Virginia around DC. Loudoun County is the county. There was a male student who apparently occasionally cross-dressed or something like that, but did not identify as transgender, had apparently had sexual encounters with a female student in a bathroom multiple times. One time I guess she said no and then he proceeded to rape her. And then the school was... The district allowed him to transfer over to another high school after the incident. And by the way-
That's an issue, but-
Yeah, but here's the other thing, though, is this was the policy of the former Trump administration. Betsy DeVos had said that... The secretary of education at that time had said that students who are accused of sexual crimes, they needed to be continued... to have continued access to their learning environment; that that was very... Instead of being concerned about students who had... That these students might again commit the crimes, or whatever, that they were accused of. They wanted to let them keep going to school. This was the Republican policy, and so the district allowed the male student to go to another high school, and apparently went into... He was accused of doing another assault, a sexual assault of a female student in the classroom this time at the second school. But at no time was there a transgender bathroom policy involved with either of these incidents or even a transgender person.
Yeah, which seems important to note when people are trying to stoke those sorts of things. But even if it was a trans person, there's no school in the country that's saying, "Hey, let's make it legal for trans people to assault people in restrooms or assault people in classrooms," or anything like that. No matter what, what the person was doing was wrong in any case, and that's what's so frustrating.
But it was also... And I might just be getting ahead here. When all of this happened, it was before that school district had taken up a policy.
Had that policy. Yeah.
The first incident, yeah. And then the second incident wasn't in a bathroom.
Right. Well, exactly. And with that first incident, one of the things that personally frustrates me about it is that the argument seems to be this happened because of this policy, this trans-inclusive policy. And it's just not true. It can't be true. And the tricky thing about it is arguing this point on Twitter or whatever else immediately gets you going, wow, you're defending this person? And it's like, no, I'm defending the people who had nothing to do with this but are getting blamed for it. It's frustrating.
Yeah, it is, it is. I'll tell you one of the last straws for me from trying to stop reforming the right to start opposing it was if you remember when Mike Pence was the governor of Indiana. They had passed this law that allowed... They called it a religious freedom law. This is, I think, their most successful evil scheme ever is trying to rebrand these Christian supremacism as religious freedom. But the way that law worked was basically anyone could claim a religious objection to any law and say, "That goes against my religion so I don't have to follow it." And that actually was what the law said. I was still loosely conservative when that came out... or when that was signed, but I kept hearing in right-wing media, "Oh no, that's not what it does, that's not what it does. It just protects people to have their... from having their rights violated." And then I would ask people, "Well, have you actually read the law? How do you know that?" And they'd say, "No, I haven't read it."
And then finally I was like, all right, I don't want to have to read this but I'm going to read it. And luckily for me, it was only two or three pages, the law, thankfully. And I read through it and I was like, wow, these people have totally lied about what this law says. And I was like, I'm done, I'm done with this. I can't do this anymore because they have no regard for truth. Either they have no regard for truth or they don't care about what truth is. Once I had that realization... One thing that's important, I think, for people to realize is that right-wingers do not believe in facts. When people are like, "Oh yeah, I'm going to fact check them," and whatnot, they don't care about facts. What-
No. It eats up time on the end of the people who are trying to correct misinformation or correct facts or fact check.
Yeah. No, it's fine. Look, I'm not saying you shouldn't do it-
No, of course.
... but what I'm saying is that you can't persuade them of facts because facts don't matter. All right-wing reasoning, it's not empirical-based. And I hate to get too philosophical here, but in logic-
You are on a podcast named The Present Age, so feel free.
All right, well in formal logic there's essentially two types of... There's more than two, but two basic types of reasoning. There's empirical reasoning, which is where you look at... You use observation then your senses to deduce what reality is, as you can perceive it. And then there is another kind which is a priori, from Latin, from before. And because right-wing Americans are overwhelmingly either Christian or Jewish fundamentalists, they don't believe in empirical reason or deductive reasoning. They believe in a priori reason, and so for them their opinions about the Bible or the Book of Mormon in the cases of Mormons... Their opinions about religion are facts. Not only are they facts, they are timeless, eternal truths. This is an aspect of right-wing epistemology that almost nobody who has had... That if you haven't come out of that environment you really don't understand it because they don't really talk about it, of how they reason because they just all agree that the Bible is literally true in every aspect. And so that is the truth, and so everything must comport with that, with our understanding of religion. Otherwise, it's a lie.
But the problem is, of course, the Bible is not literally true, and so effectively, they... Because they believe in moral absolutes but their morals are based on lies, basically they have moral absolutism and factual relativism while accusing everyone else of moral relativism and factual absolutism. And they're right, of course, to say that because everybody else, we want to have our opinions based on facts and based on what's real.
Which is why it's kind of funny that so many on the right seem to try to brand themselves as I am all facts, all logic, all... There is that strain of Ben Shapiro type right-wing pundits who go, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm just telling harsh truths. Facts don't care about your feelings." It's always so mind-boggling that something like that would take off as a... something like that would take off as a slogan for a movement that is honestly pretty detached from facts, but yeah.
Yeah. But it makes sense when you understand that for them a fact is that homosexuality is evil, a fact is that marriage should only be between man and a woman, one man and one woman. These are facts from their standpoint. It is a fact that Jesus was crucified for the sins of the world and was resurrected on the third day. That's a fact.
Basically, though, they have an inverted epistemology, and that's why it's so hard for a lot of people who are educated, especially liberals, educated liberals to understand them, that they really... they cannot believe that they actually are so dumb, basically. It's hard for people who have had, let's say 20 or more years of schooling to understand that there are people out there who think that education is a lie.
Sure. And to be clear, I think it's one thing to blame the intellectual leaders of right-wing movements for this, but on an individual level it's so much harder to understand where people are getting their news, which is why media matters. How the press covers anything, it's important. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, right-wing media is how their entire political structure is based on now. The average Republican activists or voter, they can just be submerged continuously in this information and lies. They can wake up to their Christian morning podcast - The Daily Wire has one now - and/or any number of these Christian radio stations that have millions and millions of listeners but nobody outside of their audience has ever heard of them. And then they drive to work and can listen to local talk radio on their way to work, and then they get to work, they can turn on their talk radio while they're doing their tasks and read their thousands and thousands of websites, and then they go home and they can watch their propaganda videos on TV and YouTube, or wherever. They have no awareness of anything that is not in that ecosystem.
I always hear democratic consultants and politicians saying, "Oh, our people just don't vote in the midterms. I wish they would, I wish they..." Well, you know why Republicans vote in the midterms? It's because of right wing media and that are telling them every election, "This is the most important election ever. If you don't vote now, Jesus will be crucified again," basically. That's the type of hype. And they're subjected to it every day. I would like to do something to try to educate and keep left-of-center voters motivated, but it seems like the Democratic establishment is like, "No, we'll just run some TV ads."
It's definitely frustrating to watch as... It's just honestly sometimes seems like Democratic politicians in the Democratic establishment generally doesn't-
They don't care.
Again, I want to believe that they see this very obvious thing that's happening, but they just don't respond to it as though there is a genuine issue at hand. | <urn:uuid:b2bd365e-0fcf-414a-bee1-3f551ba9d34c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.readtpa.com/p/matthew-sheffield-helped-build-the | 2024-04-25T08:43:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.990299 | 6,870 |

Issue 45 TommyBuilt Tactical’s T36 Puts a Pop-Culture Icon in Reach for the Rest of Us Tom Marshall 1 Comments, Join the Conversation Photos by Niccole Elizabeth Because you suck and we hate you? It’s anybody’s best guess as to why Heckler & Koch still refuses to bring a legitimate G36 variant to the civilian market. So their unofficial crowd-sourced marketing slogan will have to suffice for explanation. Despite its unattainable status for real people, the entertainment industry has latched onto this rifle, almost from inception, and put it on a pedestal that may be somewhat undeserved. We say that because, after negative performance reports from German soldiers serving in Afghanistan, serious questions about the G36’s accuracy and abilities were raised, examined, and deemed to be substantiated. The net effect was that, as of this year, the Bundeswehr will be phasing the G36 out of frontline service. Having said that, at the time of its inception in the early ’90s, it was an earnest attempt at advancement. The G36 makes extensive use of plastics and polymers, and even first-gen guns included a 1.5x optic built into the carry handle as a standard feature. Future iterations would include the ability to screw on Picatinny rail sections to accommodate modern accessories, as well as a top rail for more sighting options. All in all, the G36 was a well-intentioned stab at a lightweight, modular, piston-driven assault rifle with early gen combat optics and a downright cool space force feel. It may be this aesthetic, more than anything else that endeared it to American pop culture. A fan favorite in both the Rainbow Six and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare video game franchises, the G36’s unmistakable silhouette is a staple of movie, TV, and game productions. Despite its laundry list of Hollywood and Silicon Valley casting credits, HK has yet to meet its American market anywhere close to the middle. In 2014, they teased the HK293 as a true civilian version of the G36 but, at time of writing, we have yet to hear or see anything concrete on this rifle. The Stop-Gap What they did do, in the late ’90s, is release the SL8. The SL8, though based on the G36 chassis, was heavily modified to comply with import restrictions. The biggest changes were deleting the carry-handle-optic setup and changing both the bolt and magwell to feed from single-stack 10-round magazines. It also came standard with a ban-compliant, non-threaded “sporter” barrel and thumbhole stock. Yuck. The good news was that actual G36 parts were, at least for a while, available without too much hassle. But the bolt and magwell required to get an SL8 to feed G36 mags are both German. Which means that any attempt at conversion brings 922R compliance into play — mandating a certain minimum number of American parts be used in any SL8/G36 conversion build in order to keep from running afoul of the 1968 Gun Control Act. Red tape aside, the labor hours required to properly install all these conversion parts is not insignificant. During the early 2000s a cottage industry of niche gunsmiths specializing in SL8-to-G36 conversions arose to meet the rabid demand of HK fanboys who, for better or worse, don’t half-ass anything they set their sights on. One of those ’smiths was Tom Bostic of TommyBuilt Tactical. Right around 2007 they came up with a formula to convert the back end of an SL8 to original G36 coolness. To give you an idea of the complexity of this conversion process, here’s an abridged list of the parts and procedures required, as noted on the TommyBuilt website: Add G36 rear hinge section to SL8 receiver with laser-cut stainless steel support plate, add stock hold open ledge to the top of the shell case deflector, remove top alignment nub from carrier. Double stack magazine conversion, mill receiver, install laser cut metal support plate, plastic weld cover and refinish area to look factory. (Magwell and bolt head required, but not included.) Convert German G36 lower to semi or swap in SL8 fire control components and modify lower to fit. Sl8 to G36C barrel conversion (gas piston, op-rod/spring set and flash hider required and not included) Mill G36 carrier to semi specs.

I don't quite understand all this innuendo with non-existent problems with this rifle. The author is wrong about the negative responses of the soldiers to the responses of the soldiers, just the operators never spoke badly about the G36. | <urn:uuid:53fdda74-581e-4515-ad4b-c9b7e5ba966b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.recoilweb.com/tommybuilt-tacticals-t36-puts-a-pop-culture-icon-in-reach-for-the-rest-of-us-153584.html | 2024-04-25T09:00:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.944131 | 1,203 |
Selling used mobile water pumps has never really crossed our minds. Periodically we have been asked by our customers if we stocked them or if we knew of a reputable company who had one for sale - in both cases, we were often unable to help.

Unlike traditional solutions for missing teeth such as crowns and bridges, dental implants actually provide a replacement for the root and not just the visible part of the tooth. This is achieved by using a small titanium screw that is mounted into the jawbone during a painless procedure, replacing the original root and providing a safe and secure way to rebuild your smile. Implants are long-lasting and highly versatile and can be used to secure single teeth, multiple teeth or even a complete new set.
The process of fitting implants is usually conducted using the very latest dental techniques under local anaesthetic. For the vast majority of patients the treatment itself is completely pain free. It should be remembered, however, that it is still a surgical procedure and some discomfort may be experienced during healing. Once the implant is in place you should be able to eat and drink normally within a matter of 24-48 hours – and we can assure you that when you see the final results, you’ll never look back! All dental implant specialists at Regent Dental Centre are highly experienced and able to assure you the very best care throughout the process.
One of the many attractions of dental implants as a solution for missing teeth is that they are suitable for almost all patients. One of the most important factors for success is the condition of the bone in the jaw, therefore an implant specialist will always conduct a thorough dental investigation before proceeding. This includes special tests to see if there is enough bone, and if it is in good enough condition. However don’t panic – there are still options (see below) even if issues are identified.
Even if there is not a sufficient amount of bone or if health issues are identified, it is still often possible to place implants. Modern dentistry techniques allow a procedure known as a bone graft to be performed. This involves either taking some donor bone from adjacent areas or using bone from other sources and placing it in the deficient area. After a few months, the bone will bond sufficiently with the surrounding bone to support the implant. Whilst it may sound complicated and daunting, it is actually quite straightforward and not painful. For most patients, this simply means having to wait a little longer for the final result.
When you lose one or more teeth, your jawbone can begin to get weaker due to a lack of stimulation. Over time, this can cause problems to other teeth and even lead to them failing. At the same time, traditional solutions such as crowns and bridges rely on your remaining teeth for support and this can cause damage to otherwise healthy teeth. With dental implants, not only is the strength of your jaw restored, but your remaining healthy teeth are left completey intact and undamaged, to you can enjoy a natural smile for years to come.
With a good oral hygiene routine, you can expect your new smile to last for years – in fact, with the right care, implants can often last as long as your natural teeth. For implant surgery to be fully effective and leave you with a lasting smile, it is important to keep them properly clean and visit your dentist for regular check ups – just as you normally would. Treat them with the same respect you would your natural teeth and you will be able to smile with confidence for years to come.

Earlier, I wrote about how touched I was that one of my students, Icey, wanted to share her surgical masks with me! She is from China & her Mom has been understandably extremely worried about her safety given the pandemic that is now moving across the United States, Texas, Dallas Fort Worth & throughout all of our lives around & in between.
Yesterday, I received a note from Icey that the masks had indeed now arrived! We decided she would take them to the beautiful DBU Campus & leave them with our amazing team of Security Guards. From there, I would pick them up, to ensure we protected our safety as much as possible.
This morning, a particularly gorgeous Friday, as I drove up to the Campus. SO much about THIS day!! It's Good Friday, the day Our Savior died on the Cross to set us free from our sins & so that we would have everlasting life! Easter Sunday will be here soon & we will celebrate His resurrection. It is a glorious day!
DBU & it's surroundings are the most beautiful to be found anywhere. Not only is it beautiful to the sight, it is a Holy Hill where Jesus calls people to come to study, to worship, to be transformed, to work, to be the salt & light for others, & then to go out to serve the Kingdom. It's definitely The Lord's University & a heaven on earth to me & to the masses.
Today as I drove up, the Security Guard whom I've known a very long time, rushed out to greet me with a huge, glowing smile in recognition & how could he help me? I was so happy to see him & to say there was something special left for me by one of my students, in a bag? He hurried to get it, & then waved me on my way.
As I left, I began to cry. Here, this a very special place, ordained by God, place, and not a car, not a student in sight. The most incredibly peaceful place so alive in its beauty, so much going on with classes online for the remainder of the semester, a community still living on Campus & sheltering in place, so much good everywhere in the midst of all of us fighting the enemy of the Covid 19 global pandemic. I decided to turn my car around & see if I might be allowed back on just a little piece of University Hill. So many times I have wished for a moment I could take pictures without so much going on; now it makes me cry for it to be missing. He didn't mind & I was thrilled! Top of the Hill & out of my car I jumped.
I wanted to get an image that I could post here to at least symbolically thank my student for her incredible kindness. The image above has the amazing Patty & Bo Pilgrim Chapel shown high atop The Hill & that is seen far & wide by both Dallas & Fort Worth communities, & visitors from all over the world. It is the center of our core. Of course, it's got me in the image, too, & attempting to express visually my thankfulness for her & all of the students God has called to be part of the DBU family. Our bond runs just so much deeper than I could ever have the words to say; we are connected by a God who loves us & has promised never to forsake us, no matter what, or who, the enemy may be. How much clearer can this be on this day, Good Friday?
About this image....
Icey is from China, called to DBU for graduate study, deep in the Heart of Texas. She has shared her culture & love with all those in the DBU family, especially me. Our culture has opened to share with her everything that we are about as Americans (and as Texans). We have found we are more alike than unlike & I pray Icey has learned only half as much from me as I have from her.
I am definitely grateful for I know The Lord is in this. | <urn:uuid:8928f8ec-ad19-42d4-bead-e520014cd770> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.reidwithsandra.com/post/thank-you-jingrui-zhang-icey | 2024-04-25T08:42:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.984673 | 820 |

March 22, 2018
Drones are folding, DSLRs are floundering to phones, and there’s a gimbal for everything but the family pet these days. Camera tech is booming at a dizzying rate, and for the traveler – especially for the traveler who likes to get tired, wet, and dirty – this is very good news indeed. While quality and diversity have increased, so have durability and portability, meaning that amateur travel photography is getting a whole lot more interesting, whether one is Instagramming Kyoto or hiking Bromo.
Waterproof/resistant GoPro Gimbal
We live in the age of the gimbal, all hail its axis stabilization capabilities, all hail. However, there is a bit of a problem with the magic of the gimbal: it gets a bit on the broken side when it gets wet.
For that, there is the Feiyu Tech G5, a water resistant gimbal with an eight-hour battery and four useful modes, made to fit with GoPros and other small cameras. With this, photographers don’t need to pretend that they’re in a force 10 gale every time it starts spritzing.
However, it is only water resistant; the difference between waterproof and water resistant is the difference between having a wet gimbal and a wet gimbal that doesn’t work. The Feiyu Tech G5 is ideal for skiing, snowboarding, and light and heavy rain; it is not a waterproof gimbal.
The Feiyu Tech WG2 is indeed fully waterproof – at least for up to a meter. Those filming in water or surfing will find this to be an amazing improvement on just hanging on to their waterproof camera and trying to stay as still as possible. This wearable bit of tech is ideal for water-heavy situations, but it’s definitely not rated for scuba or snorkeling.
Despite looking and sounding like a disco version of the Hellraiser puzzle, the Lume Cube is a useful, versatile, and very, very portable bit of kit.
This transportable light makes filming in low-light situations much easier, and the easy portability of the Lume Cube makes this is an ideal choice for the active photographer who needs to shoot a lot of fast-moving scenes.
The interesting, compact design of the Lume Cube means that it’s adaptable to just about everything: DSLRs, GoPros, drones, and phones. In short, for someone shooting on vacation, this little cube is a godsend and can be taken in your pocket as well as your carry-on.
The popularity of the Lume Cube has given rise to a number of neat little gadgets and mounts to add on to the Lume Cube: bike mounts, drone clips, honeycomb grids, diffusion bulbs, and whole range of colors.
The DJI Mavic Air hit the drone photography world like a Mack Truck, and it hit buyers of the most recent Phantom like a kick in the pants. The Mavic Air is cheaper, easy-to-fly, 4k, and a godsend for anyone tired of lugging their drone kit in a separate suitcase, a portable, foldable drone. The Mavic Air is both ridiculously tiny and powerful; it is, quite simply, the best drone in which one might invest – at the moment.
It’s got excellent obstacle avoidance, a three axis gimbal, and a very fast Sport Mode for active shooting.
There are, however, a few downsides to having a professional-grade drone camera that you can fit inside your cargo pants pocket. Pilots will have 20 minutes of flight time (as opposed to the 27 on the Mavic Pro), and the flight range is only about 2.4 miles – much less than the Pro’s 4.3 miles. However, being able to fold up your drone and take it in your carry-on is an invaluable convenience.
Camera tech has been moving so fast in recent years that the phone can stack up against most expensive cameras; the Mavic Air camera isn’t all that different to what you’d find in an iPhone, after all. This has given rise to an endless supply of snap on lenses, gimbals, and doodads that can help the smart phone take smart pictures.
And the proof with Beastgrip is in the pudding. Apple made an awe-inspiring short film by Peter Chan with nothing more than an iPhone X and a Beastgrip Pro with DOF Adapter. Able to create film-quality video from a phone, the Beastgrip rigs allow photographers to hook up their phones as if they were DSLR beasts – and they provide lens diversity that will boost the quality to maximum.
If the Mavic Pro is amazing because of its size and the Lume Cube for its versatility, then the Beastgrip is amazing because it’s somewhere between Voltron and a Pimp My Ride for your phone’s camera. Lens options include wide-angle, wide-angle with macro, fish-eye, and of course the DOF adapter.
Portable Underwater Drone
The underwater drone is fun for filming in deep waters without your scuba gear, scouting for fish, and just having some underwater camera fun. The problem, however, is traveling with a gigantic piece of kit bigger than most of the things you’ll film.
For size, there’s the Robosea BIKI, which moves like a fish. It’s, quite simply put, adorable. But, it’s not exactly practical. The Fathom One will be a game changer when it’s finally hitting the mass market, and the high quality and higher price tag on the Trident OpenROV is unmatched for size and speed.
A new release this year has been the QYSEA’s FIFISH P3, and is a great indication of where the underwater drone market is headed. At just 492 millimeters long and 183 millimeters high, the FIFISH is only six kilograms and houses a 4k underwater camera complete with a 4k lumens lighting system. With a two hour operating time on a single battery charge, this drone – while still not as compact as some on the market – is a marriage of high-quality gear and portability. | <urn:uuid:e2af96ff-32df-4edf-aa0b-9263e58b7271> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.remotelands.com/travelogues/cool-new-camera-gear-intrepid-traveler/ | 2024-04-25T08:51:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.943917 | 1,324 |

After a loved one passes away, probate is the legal process that governs whether or not a person’s will is valid, if debt and taxes need to be paid, and how property is distributed among existing beneficiaries. Unfortunately, this process is expensive and can tie up property for months—and sometimes even years.
At Viloria, Oliphant, Oster & Aman L.L.P., we have considerable experience with the Nevada probate process, which can be unfamiliar and intimidating for many individuals. Our firm can help you complete many of the required tasks and alleviate the stress associated with this aspect of estate planning.
Contact our Reno probate attorneys today to request a free consultation: (775) 227-2280.
The Nevada Probate Process
When a person dies, all of their assets come under the jurisdiction and power of the court.
These assets include:
- Assets with a designated beneficiary
- Assets held by aliving trust
- Property held in joint tenancy by more than one person
If someone dies but leaves a will, the person in possession of the will must file it within 10 days after death. The probate process then begins when the individual named in the will approaches the probate court and asks to be appointed as administrator of the decedent’s estate. Any heirs and beneficiaries of the decedent have an opportunity to object to this person’s appointment.
The court will issue Letters of Administration to the individual settling the decedent’s estate and check the validity of the will. If the will is accepted, the personal representative can administer the decedent’s estate.
The process of administering the estate might include:
- Settling debts and obligations against the estate
- Identifying, valuing, and distributing assets to the proper beneficiary
- Collecting documentation of all the work done in administering the estate
At the conclusion of the process, the administrator submits a final report to the court detailing how the liabilities and assets were handled. Once this is accepted by the court, the estate is closed and the administrator is released from their obligation to the court.
Why You Need an Attorney
The probate process can be quite complex and extremely contentious. Our Reno probate attorneys can help you by validating the will, taking inventory of the deceased’s assets, determining who is entitled to the assets, and making sure assets are distributed according to the will. In addition, Nevada allows certain inheritors to skip probate when the value of assets left behind are less than $20,000. Fees associated with probate can get expensive, making the prospect of avoiding probate when possible an attractive one.
At Viloria, Oliphant, Oster & Aman L.L.P., we have the ability to assist clients and their families who have lost a loved one and are dealing with the probate process. We can guide you through all stages of probate and counsel you on ways to avoid the process, as well as deal with any disputes.

The GCC shrink sleeves market is expected to register a CAGR of 2% during the forecast period (2021-2026). Plastic has modified the packaging industry's functioning overall. Packaging solutions that are cost-effective, lightweight, durable, and comfortable to the users are factors that have increased the use of plastics as packaging material.
- The GCC countries, such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Kuwait, are also anticipated to play a major role in the overall growth of the shrink sleeves market due to the urbanization and growth of industries, rise in the urbanized population, increasing demand for packaged foods, a renaissance of the labeling and packaging industry in member countries, and increasing emphasis on the use of sustainable materials.
- Rising health issues in the region and increasing the use of cosmetic products are also expected to contribute to the rising demand for the shrink sleeves market in the healthcare and cosmetics sectors.
- On the contrary, investments into manufacturing are majorly spurred by the recent economic slowdown caused by low crude oil prices and reduced activity in the upstream oil and gas industry. The years 2017 and 2018 had a severe impact on the country’s economy. Thus, it may indirectly impact the shrink sleeves market negatively.
Key Market Trends
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Material to Drive the Market Growth
- The advantages offered by PET material include print that is protected from discoloration and damage from liquid spills due to the reverse printing on the sleeve, scuff-resistant cover for the print, which contributes to the growth of the PET shrink sleeves market in the region.
- Saudi Arabia currently recycles about 10% of its PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles. The recycling percentage is expected to grow with the increasing focus of the government toward recycling, which is likely to drive the demand for PET in the country.
- On the other hand, the United Arab Emirates is home to more than 100 different nationalities and a mix of various cultures and cuisines. These differences are strongly reflected by the food available in the country, especially in relation to sauces, dressings, and condiments, and with the growth of the food industry, the shrink sleeves labels industry also witnesses growth.
- 2018 saw the introduction of 5% VAT across a wide range of products and services and declining consumer confidence, while currency exchange rates made it more expensive for tourists to purchase beauty and personal care products. Thus, this decreased the growth of PET shrinks sleeves labels in the United Arab Emirates.
Saudi Arabia is Expected to Witness a Significant Growth
- Increased beauty and personal care awareness in Saudi Arabia due to the growing number of Saudis joining the workforce, higher disposable incomes per household, ongoing social gatherings, and participation in physical activities (due to government efforts to combat illness and promote healthy lifestyles) have resulted in increased sales of such products to some consumers. Thus, this supports shrink sleeves labels demand, despite a slight fall in overall volumes in 2018.
- Additionally, the increasing applications of shrink and sleeves in various end-use industries, such as paper and textile, food and dairy, and electronics, for labeling are expected to drive the market growth further.
- Changing consumer lifestyles and government efforts to diversify the economy and create jobs for locals influence the development of packaging in Saudi Arabia. The end of the review period saw Saudi Arabia suffer an economic slowdown due to its heavy reliance on revenues from oil exports, which saw prices fall globally.
- In FY 2019, the Saudi government introduced a 17% increase, an estimated USD 45.86 billion, in the funds allocated for healthcare and social development. Out of these allocated funds, approximately USD 12.72 billion has been earmarked for being spent on healthcare projects directly linked to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. The developments in the markets for healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics are expected to remain the primary drivers of the demand for plastic packaging products.
The GCC shrink sleeves market consists of several regional and international players, with a significant presence in the region. Due to the huge number of competitors, the market is fragmented, with no player existing with a significant market share. Furthermore, packaging solutions demand better control of the value chain for competitive pricing and a one-point solution offered for strategic advantage.

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has been busy of late. There’s been a 77% spike in lawsuits involving wage and hour disputes in recent years. And most of those complaints have been legitimate – the feds have found violations in almost three-quarters of complaints that have been filed.
Employers are routinely getting into trouble with DOL over violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the law that governs how employees must be paid. Organizations should ensure that supervisors and managers understand employees’ rights under the FLSA so that honest oversights and mistakes don’t cause preventable problems.
Fact is, there are thousands of wage and hour violations every year, either through misfeasance, malfeasance or nonfeasance. So, what exactly does the FLSA require? | <urn:uuid:abc557fd-e73e-45ea-9e7e-9bc4d81ce4da> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.resourcefulmanager.com/author/renee-cocchi/page/4/ | 2024-04-25T08:12:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.95896 | 170 |
Original American-style sushi restaurant supporting aspiring musicians with check donation
Mobile, AL (Restaurant News Release) Rock N Roll Sushi wrapped up their initial Reach and Teach fundraiser with a check donation for $16,500 on Thursday, at Jackson High School in Jackson, Ala. Rock N Roll Sushi just launched their relationship this fall with the non-profit as a way to support student musicians and entrepreneurs, while staying true to their brand’s culture and love of music.
Rock N Roll Sushi founders Gerri and Lance Hallmark attended the Reach and Teach Concert at Jackson High to present the donation and meet the students who participated in the semester-long Reach and Teach program.
Rock N Roll Sushi is passionate about giving back to students in the communities they touch. Throughout October, “Helping Guitar Picks” were sold at all restaurant locations across the country. All proceeds are being donated to Reach and Teach, to further their goal of providing unique, project based learning opportunities to students. Through the program, students work to promote and execute a concert on their school campus. All proceeds students raise from their concert are donated back to their schools.
Reach and Teach is a nonprofit focused on providing authentic, educational experiences to students across the globe. While the program is available to all students, it resonates with students who typically struggle to engage in traditional classes and provides a purposeful opportunity for students to immerse themselves in their learning.

When my helper of 27 years left to go back home to Jakarta, we often spoke over the phone about seeing each other again. I had no idea it would end this way—me standing over her grave, looking down at the ground of what remained of her, my face streaming with tears.
The grave is uncared for. Trashed and forgotten. And this was after I had sent over money to her family to make it “good,” as Indonesians would say. But nothing here looks good.
As I dug my hands into the ground, yanking out weeds and picking up plastic bottles and trash, I never felt lonelier in my grief.
To the world, she’s my maid. But to me, she’s a mother.
In many countries in Southeast Asia like Singapore, Indonesia or the Philippines, we often hire helpers—or a maid as some would deign to call them—to care for our children.
The term ‘maid’ holds cultural connotations of colonialism. We hope that using the more palatable term ‘helper’ offers a clinical removal of such unsavoury overtones. We think changing the vocabulary may help us feel better about the exploitation of labour.
In truth, the word ‘helper’ wears a cloak of progressiveness without changing anything. They ‘help’ us. We pay them.
It’s all smoke and mirrors for a transaction that hasn’t changed in centuries.
I personally never thought of the word ‘maid’ as derogatory. To me, a maid is someone who worked alongside my mom to raise me. Someone I loved, who, when I was a kid, fed me and took care of me when I fell off my rollerblades and told me it was all going to be okay when I had my first teenage heartbreak. She taught me how to be resilient and strong and did all the dirty work my parents were unwilling to do when caring for me.
I sat and sobbed over the barren ground where she was buried. All I could think of was how this force of a woman was now dust in this cracked, dry, orange land.
How could I have left her like that for two years?
Loving the Help Wholeheartedly
It’s funny if you think about it—these women are essentially hired to be family members, participating in the act of raising other people’s children. Kids grow attached to them. At times, they see their helpers more often than they do their own parents.
Yet, at the same time, there is a transactionality to this relationship (surprising or not). They are paid to care for your kid. Your kid, being a kid, loves them blindly in return.
It’s a relationship fraught with both exploitation and intimacy. As a fully-grown woman raised by my helper, I still find this relationship difficult to digest and decipher.
Thinking back, I remember giving her hugs and affection and saying, “Sorry Endang. Maaf ya. Tadi saya marah…” after losing my temper at her for ironing my clothes wrong or messing something trivial up.
I remember when she cooked a fantastic nasi tumpeng for my birthday party. As my friends dug in, she sat at the back of the kitchen, doing her duties instead of joining in.
I used to pray to God that she would never have to leave. My biggest fear back then was that she would have to go back to her real family.
Even in navigating this unbalanced mother-daughter/employer-helper relationship, there was inexplicable authentic, unconditional love for each other.
Still, for our parents, this transaction is viewed differently. I’ve seen how my friend’s parents reacted to my friend wanting to give her helper a heartfelt gift—a framed picture of the two of them—when she was retiring and going back to the Philippines.
“Why? We already gave her a lot (of money). We don’t need to give more,” they intoned, incredulous that their daughter felt she needed to give the helper anything else. For them, it was all a mere business transaction.
Helpers Seen and Lost
The revolving door of helpers and drivers coming and going from my family is ever-turning. I remember a company driver I spent time road-tripping with in Batam, only to find out he died a couple of years later in a car crash.
I’ve also seen my cousins grow up with the same helper for decades. The years have been unkind as we watch her wither away in age, to the point she could no longer work and was sent back. Their helper has since passed away as well.
I have always wondered what this relationship meant to the different parties involved. Is it just helper-employer? Is it a friendship?
For me, it was a familial love and bond. And it can go both ways.
When my grandfather died, I remember having to shake hands with countless funeral attendees. Everyone who was family wore a pinned rose. So did I. Looking around, I saw the helpers who took care of him, rose-less, eyes red from grieving for the 99-year-old man they spent every waking day taking care of.
Standing surrounded by hundreds of flower bouquets, I watched as the helpers mourned my late grandfather. But at least there was a ritual and a space for me to express my grief.
But when my helper died, all I got was a picture sent over WhatsApp of her lifeless body wrapped in a kain kafan (the white shroud used in Muslim funeral rituals) and a phone call revealing that she had passed away.
I sat in my room alone in deafening silence, with no one to mourn with. No hands to shake, nothing.
I longed to be there for her funeral, but it was 2020—the height of the pandemic. Still, that didn’t stop me from clicking furiously on my phone, searching for flights despite knowing there were none.
So in the middle of this helpless night, with a giant void in my heart and a rock in my throat, I did the only thing I could do—the superficial act of arranging for flowers at 2 AM.
If I couldn’t be there, a stand of flowers would have to be my stand-in.
The next day, I was sent a picture of the flowers at the funeral site. The image was strange. One floral arrangement on a barren field, plastic chairs in the background, no other bouquets around in sight. Mine was the only arrangement she received.
I loved the woman like my mother, and all I had for her was some flowers in an empty field. To me, she deserved the world—she deserved thousands of flowers and an ocean of love surrounding her. She deserved to know how much I valued her.
All this love I had for her had no place to go.
The Career of Care
It made me wonder how different my life would have been without her—how she forms an integral part of who I am today. Like my helper, many domestic workers stay with their families for years in regions like Singapore, India, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Indonesia.
I grew up observing maids enter the lives of affluent families and observed this relationship until their employment ended. The person they cared for either didn’t need them anymore or died. Either that or the helpers themselves fell ill or grew too old to work.
In the case of my helper, it was age that led her to spend her golden years back in Jakarta with her family.
In Singapore, helpers’ contracts are typically renewable for two-year terms. Worker retention is encouraged to prevent excessive turnover. Workers must be 23 to 50 years old during the age of application; they can renew their contracts and stay for an unlimited amount of years until they reach the age of 60.
However, I know things are different from personal experience after helping my mom send in appeals to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to enable our helper to stay longer. You can retain a helper beyond that age in Singapore. My helper stayed with us well into her 60s.
Hong Kong bears a resemblance to Singapore, with similar renewable two-year contract terms and an age range of 18 to 59, with one considerable difference. Hong Kong implements a long service payment for domestic workers who have been with their employees for more than five years and are retiring due to health issues or old age.
There, helpers who have had their contract terminated due to redundancy—such as a move or the fact that the children your worker is taking care of have grown up—still get a service payment.
In other regions like Indonesia, the household is considered almost always off-limits with regard to state intervention, meaning laws regulating helpers have been left largely unregulated. The role of domestic workers is seen as a maternal one, and they are often referred to simply as helpers (the soft term in Malay: pembantu) rather than perceived as actual workers.
After two decades of pressure, Indonesia is still working on passing a domestic workers’ bill. Their exclusion from labour law gives them little to no control over the terms of their employment and little structure to implement a pension plan.
Similarly, in the Philippines, being a domestic worker (‘kasambahay’ or ‘yaya’) is considered neither a formal nor an informal occupation. Paid domestic work is an essential source of employment, with numbers increasing yearly. However, many people regard it as unskilled work that can be exploited.
The implementation of Kasambahay Law in 2013 offers more protection for Filipino domestic workers—but it has opened the door to unethical practices by unscrupulous employment agencies charging illegal fees and offering little stability. Many workers are afraid to voice any complaints and remain vulnerable to the hands they are dealt.
Helpers work well into and beyond their retirement years, dedicating their lives to other families as an occupation, partly because of the lack of security that their job offers them. Informal work arrangements mean little political protection and practically zero financial cushioning after retirement.
With many countries not offering any pension, there is little security for what comes after. And for those without children or families to take care of them, what sort of life are they returning to?
Then there is the emotional impact of living a large portion of their life embedded in someone else’s home.
One party watches the other grow up. The other watches the other age into their autumn years.
Grief With Nowhere to Go
Finding a place for the love I had for my helper after she passed on was like navigating in the dark in an empty room. Especially since she wasn’t technically my family or my friend. I had no one to share this grief with—and hardly any place to visit to bear witness to it.
When I confided to my mother about my grief, she retorted with hurt. “It feels like you loved Endang more than me,” she remarked.
This is not the first occurrence of a parent feeling slighted by a child’s love for the helper. Nor will it be the last.
As people from an invisible faction of society, helpers are often kept in the background or sidelines of our lives. They are the ones in the corner pew of a grandfather’s funeral. They are the ones cooking in the back of the kitchen on our birthdays. They are the ones holding the camera and snapping our family pictures on holidays and occasions—rarely a part of the photo.
Most of the time, they are unseen and unacknowledged. And so I found my loss and love similarly unseen and unacknowledged by society.
A Fitting Goodbye
After leaving Jakarta, I offered money to ensure my helper got her final resting place. I only received a picture of the completed work while in the throes of writing this piece.
And yes, I know ceremonies and tombstones are more for the living than the dead. But it’s finally a worthy space where she can be honoured in the way I feel she deserves.
More selfishly, it’s a way to hold on to the little I have left of her.
The groundskeeper is also working on getting a tree planted next to the tombstone. During my visit, I noticed that the other side of the graveyard was sprawling with beautiful trees, and I knew I wanted the same for her.
They offered frangipani, which I gladly agreed to. I didn’t even know that frangipani is both a fitting symbol of the immense love and lasting bond between two people—and also a symbol of connecting with spirits and ghosts.
That’s all I ever wanted. An expression of love for Endang and a way to connect to her again.
So often, helpers bear the burden of domestic labour and mothering. But they are ironically never really considered truly part of the domicile. They spend years mothering children but are never considered part of the family. They spend years in our personal space but are never really at home.
But Endang was my family. And I hope that now, she has finally found the home she truly deserves. | <urn:uuid:6d82dd95-e99d-44c4-b561-3050d011cbab> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.ricemedia.co/the-helpers-we-throw-away/ | 2024-04-25T08:11:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.976916 | 2,780 |

Leader Ortt sends hard-hitting letter to Governor Hochul pressing her on the cost, details, and lackluster results of a $159 million emergency fund meant to combat gun violence; questions the absence of resources given to law enforcement, DAs
ALBANY, NY - Senate Republican Leader Rob Ortt on Friday, January 28th sent a letter to Governor Kathy Hochul questioning critical spending details of a nearly-dry government fund meant to stem the scourge of gun violence in New York communities. The letter raised serious concerns about where the taxpayer money has actually gone, in addition to the disparity of support and resources given to local police departments and District Attorneys throughout the state.
“Considering the size and scope of this massive expenditure of taxpayer dollars — as well as the fact that gun violence and violent crime continue to plague cities across our state — we are writing to request detailed information regarding how this money has been spent,” wrote Leader Ortt.
Recent news reports indicate that the state has spent virtually all of the $159 in emergency funding to combat gun violence that was announced last July by former Governor Andrew M. Cuomo. Of the $159 million in that fund, it appears two-thirds of the gun fund went to local civic groups and politically connected non-law enforcement entities, all as the state-wide crime crisis continued to surge.
As Governor Hochul recently announced plans to replenish the fund in this year’s state budget, the results of the original nearly $159 million spent have come under scrutiny. In particular, one non-profit group was approved for $18.5 million in funding to help create 2,400 long-term jobs for young adults in communities distressed by gun violence. It has been reported that this initiative has only created about 20 jobs, according to the state Department of Labor.
The questions about the $159 million emergency funding include:
Which government agencies, groups or entities have received funding?
What process was used to determine how this money would be spent, and who made the ultimate selection of funding recipients?
Do you have any data showing a correlation between the millions spent and a reduction (or increase) of violence?
What metrics are being utilized to determine the success or failure of these efforts?
In addition to posing some of these critical questions, Leader Ortt, in his letter to Governor Hochul, proposed reforms to future funding related to curbing violence. One major concern was the lack of funding provided to the District Attorney offices that are responsible for investigating and successfully prosecuting violent offenders. Many District Attorney offices across the state are still struggling to comply with the recently enacted discovery reforms.
Since 2019, Democrats have passed a slew of soft-on-crime, pro-criminal policies, resulting in a growing crime crisis in New York. In that same time, Leader Ortt and the Republican Conference have championed much-needed measures to curb the increase in violence. Earlier this year, Senate Republicans were joined by law enforcement and local leaders to call for an immediate restoration of public safety in the state.
Protecting Those Who Protect Us:
Invest in law enforcement;
Provide them with the support they need to make our communities safe and serve those in need; and
Fight Democrat efforts to “Defund the Police.”
Rejecting Dangerous “Reforms” like Cashless Bail:
End cashless bail, restore judicial discretion and reject proposals like “Clean Slate”;
Require state agencies to be transparent about the effects of public safety policies; and
Enact policies that get dangerous individuals off our streets.
Reforming the Broken Parole System:
Recenter the Parole process around the protection and rights of crime victims and their families;
Ensure that cop-killers, serial killers, child killers, and other dangerous murderers can NEVER be released; and
Reject dangerous Democrat proposals like “Elder Parole” and “Fair and Timely Parole.”
Passing a Victims’ Justice Agenda:
Strengthen penalties for violent and repeat offenders, as well as hate crimes;
Create and support more victims’ services and resources; and
Invest in proven mental health, addiction, and homeless programs.
“The Governor’s refusal to do policy changes on bail reform because she ‘wants to see more data,’ yet she dumped hundreds of millions of tax dollars into state programs that have shown zero tangible results. Before hardworking taxpayers are asked to spend one dollar more — and before even more New Yorkers fall victim to this wave of violent crime — we need to know as quickly as possible if this funding has had any meaningful public safety impact in our local communities,” concluded Leader Ortt.

Rockhampton Regional Council is registered as the Resource Operations Licence(PDF, 504KB) (ROL) holder under the Water Act 2000.
In addition, a Water Supply Scheme Operations Manual(PDF, 93KB) was implemented for the Barrage by the Department of Regional Development, Manufacturing and Water (RDMW) which meets the environmental flow and Water Entitlement Security Objectives set out under the Fitzroy Basin Water Plan.
The Operations Manual establishes the following:
- Rules for operation of infrastructure
- Water sharing rules
- Seasonal water assignment rules
Water for the Rockhampton Region is sourced from the pondage area behind the Fitzroy River Barrage at a multi-level intake structure located approximately six kilometres upstream of the Barrage.
The purpose of the Barrage is to separate the fresh water from the tidal reaches of the river and at full supply level has a volume of 81,300ML with 21,900ML being dead storage and has an effective upstream limit of 115 kilometres Adopted Middle Thread Distance. This area, including tributaries of the Fitzroy River that contain water from the Barrage, has been declared in the ROL as the Fitzroy Barrage Water Supply Scheme and is the responsibility of Fitzroy River Water.
Additional to the domestic and industrial supply, commercial raw water allocations and water for Stanwell Power Station is sourced from the Barrage pondage.
Rockhampton Regional Council, as a ROL holder, is required to ensure the quality, quantity and reliability of water sourced from the Barrage is maintained at an acceptable level.
Regional water quality issues
The Fitzroy Basin has an area of 142,500 square kilometres and includes the catchment of the Fitzroy River and several major tributaries.
Rockhampton Regional Council as the last service provider on the Fitzroy River is very susceptible to issues such as salinity, land degradation, riparian habitat destruction and weed infestation, which are of concern throughout the entire catchment.
Fitzroy Basin Natural Resource Management Plan
As part of the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality, the Fitzroy Basin Association (FBA) has compiled a Natural Resource Management Plan for the Fitzroy Basin.
This plan identifies key environmental and social aspects of the catchment and proposes management actions aimed at either enhancing their condition or minimising the degradation of their values.
Fitzroy River Water has been involved in the formation of this plan and will promote opportunities to implement strategies that both directly impact on the Barrage and are also part of total catchment management principles.
Department Natural Resources and Mines (DNRM) released a salinity hazard map for the Fitzroy Basin in November 2002, which shows that considerably more than half of the Fitzroy Basin has the potential to develop salinity problems over the next 30 to 50 years.
DNRM states that the area currently has fairly low levels of severely salt affected lands, but areas at high risk of salinity include land surrounding the lower reaches of the Fitzroy River to the west of Yeppoon, and around Rockhampton extending to the south and east of Bajool.
The salinity risk for the Fitzroy Basin is not as high as that of the Murray-Darling Basin, but DNRM claims it is significant enough to warrant early action. A noteworthy amount of land in the vicinity of the Barrage is indicated as a high hazard. Good irrigation practices and management of tree clearing in this area will be necessary for mitigation of the salinity hazard. This in turn will ensure the continued economic prosperity of this area.
It is important that Fitzroy River Water continues to participate with other stakeholders for the responsible management of the catchment through organisations such as the FBA and Barrage Irrigators Advisory Committee. | <urn:uuid:6e4775df-8d00-4f77-9183-c936f97d78aa> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.rockhamptonregion.qld.gov.au/CouncilServices/Fitzroy-River-Water/Environment-Compliance?lang_update=638496610081440818 | 2024-04-25T06:56:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.94115 | 774 |

Pursuing Justice for Victims of Defective Pharmaceutical Drugs
The Kugel Mesh patches were first approved by the FDA in 1996 and were marketed as an effective repair for hernias. Soon after its release, it was discovered that the Kugel Mesh Hernia Patches resulted in an extraordinarily high rate of bowel infections and other gastrointestinal disorders.
Lawsuits have been filed alleging that these patches were defectively designed because the plastic ring used in the patch can break off inside of patients. This has been known to carry a higher risk of serious bowel infections. Consumers have also suffered other severe side effects from the drug, including:
- Bowel perforations
If you or a loved one has endured complications from a Kugel Mesh hernia patch, we will conduct a thorough investigation to uncover any acts of negligence. The pharmaceutical litigation attorneys at our firm work with industry-leading experts to help determine any liability factors, including false advertising, product defects and manufacturing defects.

Do you know what are the main signs that you need to change your fuel filter? Well, you are at the perfect place to find the answer to such a question.
While the fuel filter is a fairly cheap component, it is vital for the running of your vehicle. It stops all that bad stuff from getting into your engine.
If your fuel filter fails, then not only are you running the risk of a rather costly engine repair, but you could also lose your fuel pump. We don’t know about you but, in our opinion, neither of those is good!
So, here are the 8 main Signs that You Need to Change Your Fuel Filter:
- Check Engine Light Is On
- Power Loss In Your Vehicle When It Is Placed Under Load
- Vehicle Struggles At Slow Speeds
- Fuel Economy Decreases
- The Engine Runs Rough
- You Struggle To Start Your Engine
- The Fuel Pump Breaks
- Your Fuel Filter Is Old
On this page, we are going to help you to decide whether your fuel filter needs replacing.
Table of Contents
Before we dive into the signs that you need to change your fuel filter, we do want to point out that many of these ‘symptoms’ do not necessarily indicate that the fuel filter needs to be pulled out and a new one put in. Vehicles are complicated contraptions.
While these signs could indicate that your fuel filter needs replacing, there is a myriad of different reasons why these signs may be presenting themselves, and the only way to properly diagnose the issue is to talk to a mechanic.
1. Check Engine Light Is On
Probably one of the first signs that you will have that the fuel filter needs replacing is that your check engine light will come on.
As you can probably guess, the check engine light can come on for a whole host of different reasons. However, it most commonly comes on for that fuel filter (or if you haven’t had your vehicle serviced in a while).
In any case, if that check engine light is on, make your way to the garage as soon as you can. They will be able to run a few diagnostics and work out what the issue is.
We promise you, even if the fuel filter doesn’t need replacing, having that check engine light on is never going to be a good thing!
2. Power Loss In Your Vehicle When It Is Placed Under Load
If you are driving your vehicle and you suddenly notice a loss of power, particularly when you are placing the vehicle under load, then this would indicate a problem with the fuel filter.
A clogged fuel filter can stop the amount of fuel that your engine needs from getting through. When the engine isn’t receiving the fuel that it needs, there will be a small amount of power loss.
In some cases, particularly if the fuel filter is only partially clogged, the power loss will be temporary.
However, as you can probably imagine, even the smallest amount of power loss isn’t going to be a good thing, particularly if you are driving on a busy road.
3. Vehicle Struggles At Slow Speeds
It isn’t just the heavy loads with your vehicle that you are going to need to worry about. In some cases, if your vehicle has a bad fuel filter, you may notice that it struggles at slower speeds.
You may feel that the vehicle is a little bit ‘rougher’ to drive as you slow the vehicle down. You may even experience a bit of chugging or grinding in the engine.
In some cases, this may be one of the first signs that you notice.
4. Fuel Economy Decreases
You may actually notice that this issue rears its ugly head slightly after the check engine light comes on.
If your fuel filter isn’t letting fuel from the pump through to the engine, then this will decrease your fuel economy.
Basically, you will notice the number of miles that you can get per gallon falling pretty sharply.
Obviously, this is a problem that you are going to want to sort out pretty quickly.
Not only does it mean that there is a problem with your fuel pump filter, (or perhaps the engine or fuel pump), but it is something that is going to be costing you a lot of money.
We are pretty positive that this is the last thing that you want in this age of rising gas prices!
5. The Engine Runs Rough
If you are starting to notice a little bit of chugging with your engine, then you may have a problem with your fuel filter.
The chugging indicates that not enough fuel is being pushed through to the engine.
If the problem is particularly bad, then not only may you experience a little bit of chugging, but you may find that the vehicle stalls a lot more frequently.
So, if you are noticing that your vehicle is running rough, or perhaps stalling a lot more frequently than it normally stalls, then you are probably going to need to get that vehicle looked at.
It indicates a pretty serious issue, and it may not always be down to the fuel filter.
6. You Struggle To Start Your Engine
If your vehicle struggles to start in the morning, or perhaps you are unable to start it at all, then this would indicate that you have a problem with your vehicle’s fuel filter.
Although, once again, we cannot stress enough that there are problems that are far, far worse that can cause your engine to fail to start, so you will almost certainly want to check the vehicle out with a garage.
Of course, the whole reason that this problem happens is that your fuel pump is having issues delivering all the fuel that it needs to the engine.
Remember, an engine needs a huge amount of fuel to get going.
Other than the check engine light coming on, this may be one of the only signs that you notice. Once you have properly started your vehicle, the engine will require less power.
This means that any issues with the fuel pump filter are probably going to be a lot less apparent.
7. The Fuel Pump Breaks
If you leave your fuel filter ‘clogged’ for a long while, then you may end up getting to this point. Hopefully, you never do. Fuel pumps can be pretty expensive to replace.
So, why does this happen? Well, a clogged fuel filter is going to be letting less fuel through it. The same would happen with a broken fuel filter.
Of course, the engine is ‘demanding’ that fuel coming through, which means that it is going to be sending a signal to that fuel pump to work harder. As a result, the fuel pump is going to start to work even harder, and it will start to wear down.
Eventually, you are going to be pushing that fuel pump to the point where it just breaks.
As we said, it is unlikely that your fuel pump is ever going to be getting to this point. This is under the assumption that you have listened to all of the warning signs that we have given before.
Remember, if your fuel pump breaks, then your vehicle isn’t going to start at all. This is because you are now missing that small part that actually pumps the fuel from the tank all the way through to the engine.
8. Your Fuel Filter Is Old
Honestly, even if you not spotting any of the signs that we have highlighted on this page, it is important that you replace your fuel filter every 20,000 or so miles.
This will often line up with your regular vehicle service, so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
In most vehicles, this is roughly how long the fuel filter is going to last. So, if you are not getting it replaced every 20,000 miles, then you will slowly start to notice that the problems we have mentioned creeping in.
You will also find that the fuel economy on your vehicle is going to absolutely plummet.
Can You Replace a Fuel Filter Yourself?
You can replace a fuel filter yourself. If you have retained your vehicle’s manual, then it should give you all of the information that you need to get that fuel pump filter yourself.
However, if you have started to get some of the more serious issues due to a dodgy fuel filter e.g. your vehicle is running rough or suffers from a frequent loss of power, then we suggest that you head to a garage.
Even if there is nothing wrong with your vehicle, it is always good to have that once-over, just to be 100% sure that there aren’t any long-term issues.
Bad Fuel Filter: Signs you need to change fuel filter > > Check out the video below:
While a fuel filter isn’t an expensive part in your vehicle, it is arguably one of the most important. A clogged or broken fuel filter can result in engine and fuel pump failures.
Thankfully, it is often pretty simple to spot the warning signs that your fuel filter may need replacing.
These signs will often begin with that check engine light coming on, but it won’t be too long before you start to notice serious issues with your vehicle.
This may mean a loss of power or even no power at all. Thankfully, a fuel filter is cheap to replace. Contact your local garage.

ROOF CLEANING AND MOSS REMOVAL
It is a known fact that all roofs need to be maintained and cleaned. Especially living in an area that is known for having large trees, lush landscapes and plenty of rain. Over time your roof will be subjected to debris from trees and leaves as well as growth of algae, which will lead to moss. To prevent your roof from getting damaged and leaking prematurely, it is essential to have your roof cleaned and maintained. Jeremy Dumanovsky Roofing will be glad to provide you with a free estimate, we can even include you in our annual maintenance schedule.
What is involved in Moss Cleaning? There are two steps.
- Moss Treatment – First, the moss removal ‘powder’ has to be spread out over the roof. It is best to do this before rain is predicted. The rain will help in coating the roof with the ‘powder’.
- Moss Removal and cleaning – Two weeks after applying the moss treatment and after it has rained, we will come back out to ‘brush’ off the moss and clean the debris from your roof.
In addition to the free estimate, we can provide a detailed inspection of your roof for a small cost. A detailed inspection will let you know any problem areas that need to be fixed immediately and offer suggestions on maintaining, repairs or even if a new roof is recommended.

And it would continue Kate’s having sex with the son, and then the father…..(EJ, Stefano……..Nicky, Lawrence)
BarbParticipantLOL, o.k. I don’t want to, but am going to chime in here, because I began going grey at age 28. My aunt was completely grey at age 21. My dad was white haired by the time he was 45. What I am getting at is people do grey early. And yep, I colored my hair for quite a while…so guess what? All those chemicals damaged my hair so badly, it began to fall out, thin out, whatever you want to call it. And needless to say, no more coloring. Nature has taken it’s course.
I don’t think Sami’s is grey….just looks that way..but I will fault the hairdressers, and pulling the hair back tightly when roots are showing so much is a bad decision.
And I guess we know MAYBE why Kate’s hair is 17 different colors. LOL
BarbParticipantdid a whole segment on Gloria Swanson, and in it, there was a snip of an interview with Bob Newhart, who talked about Sunset Blvd. Swanson received an Academy Award (plus other awards) for that role.
BarbParticipanta high end turban……..Very Gloria Swanson like, don’t you think. LOL…..Louise Sorel has said that is sort of how over the top she has been portraying Vivian, (Sunset Blvd, I think was the movie – Carol Burnett used to parody it a lot, lol)
BarbParticipantany of these returns. I think the most we could hope for would be short stays for any of them. I think someone was asking for a recast of Abby, not Jack & Jenn. I also think Eric is overdue back in Salem, and think Dan Wells (who played Stan…when Ali Sweeney was on maternity leave) would be perfect…however….knowing how Days and it’s viewers always wants to pair folks up….there doesn’t seem to be any untaken females floating around currently.
BarbParticipantAnd that story is exactly what inspired the Philip face transplant!
BarbParticipantJohn Clarke has been asked, but has been ailing himself, so unless Days plans to spring another "secret" filming as they did with LeAnn Hunley (Anna) he will not be appearing. And supposedly, there are no plans to "kill him off". Both he & Frances Reid have lifetime contracts and have been with the show since Day 1. If Alice is still alive and unseen, same will go for Mickey. Kevin Dobson is no longer, evidently, going to be used as Mickey, which is why we saw the pictures.
Maybe the Christmas show is going to show flashbacks…as some storm is going to prevent Mickey from getting back to Salem in time to celebrate Christmas.
Maggie’s big story involves Melanie, I believe, as the two were interviewed together at Day of Days event, and it was Melanie who was gushing over the "huge" story Maggie was doing and how wonderful she was in it.
BarbParticipantand the news was broken by SOD…….
BarbParticipantMelanie’s reaction to Carly was entirely toooo "over the top", IMO. O.K. Mel was in a bad mood, there was an accident. Melanie admitted to Arianna later that she knew it was accidental, and just is taking her frustration out on everyone else. And yet, just a bit later, she is being very nasty to Carly, in fact, tooo nasty…..for what went on at the Cafe.
BarbParticipantThey still use the Dot.com set, only now it is Java Cafe.
Java Cafe used to be outdoors, in Salem Place, but then they took down the Salem Place area (Ballistix, the movie theatre, Johnny’s Burgers, Java Cafe – I was there, lolol). So they just changed the sign over Dot.com and took out all the computers.
BarbParticipantVery disappointed that the Holidays are being ignored. At least last year, with Sami in Witness Protection, both Halloween & Thanksgiving were celebrated.
Oh, we will get Christmas, definitely…..but I think that is going to be it. Perhaps with the way 1 day lasts 2 weeks in Salem, and then suddenly 3 weeks have passed..TPTB figure it is better to cope.
But I am guessing it is once again, budget, budget, budget. Heck, they cannot even do a wedding or Christening properly, as it would mean too many characters being present.
BarbParticipantFrances Reid is very frail, and has a great deal of trouble with her memory. Days was hoping that perhaps she might be able to be on the Christmas show, with no lines, just sitting in the chair, but that was not possible, so I understand.
Count ourselves blessed that we have the memories we do of Alice & Tom Horton at Christmas.
BarbParticipantRafe was NOT raised in the orphanage. He has told the story of his family living in the neighborhood, of how he was on the streets in the wrong crowd (gangs or something) and how the good Sister (Agnes?) took him under her wing and got him on the straight and narrow. Sami once asked him if he had other family and he only said he did not want to talk about that now.
When Arianna first appeared, she definitely said she & Rafe had not seen each other for a long, long time.
And it was Nicole who first appeared in Salem, followed soon by Taylor & Brandon. I remember Taylor was using a different last name and Nicole did not want anyone to know she was her sister. Nicole & Taylor had the same parents, Brandon was the result of an affair. Nicole’s father was very abusive, which is how Abe came to be involved in the family’s lives.
BarbParticipantHi all, and this is sure different. The board would not accept my password, so I registered anew. I think that is what Jenn said we were going to have to do.
Gee, look at all the toys we are going to get to play with. LOL (the icons) | <urn:uuid:d0d47c69-a1f2-48d8-a9f0-383e98921b68> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.salemplace.com/users/barb/replies/ | 2024-04-25T06:57:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.98385 | 1,340 |

Boxing - 1996
Sixteen year old Jackie Fields won the Olympic Featherweight Boxing Championship in 1924. Five years later, he captured the World Welterweight title.
The name was Jacob Finkelstein when he was born in Chicago. But when his family moved to Los Angeles in Jacob’s early teens, he became Jackie Fields, joined the Los Angeles Athletic Club, and quickly established himself as one of the nation’s leading amateur boxers.
Jackie held the World Welterweight crown twice--1929-30 and 1932-33. The first time, he beat Young Jack Thompson for the title, then lost it back to Thompson 14 months later. Jackie defeated Lou Brouillard to recapture the championship, and lost it 13 months later to Young Corbett III.
Jackie Fields was the youngest man ever to win an Olympic boxing gold medal and, to this day, it is believed he still holds that distinction. His road to the Olympics put him in fierce competition with his Los Angeles City College pal, Joe Salas, who was regarded as America’s number one featherweight boxer. As fate would have it, the two met in the finals for the Olympic gold medal, and Jackie won a three-round decision. Later that year, Joe and Jackie turned professional and made their debuts--against each other. Again, Jackie took the decision, this time in 10-rounds. The Fields-Salas saga was made into a motion picture in 1939: “The Crowd Roars”.

As many Bond fans will know, Scotland was the key ingredient to Skyfall, the fourth Bond Film to feature Scotland's rugged terrain. Glen Coe and its outstanding landscapes are also where Bond's family heritage and routes are found.
The view you get as you enter the top of Glen Coe is truly breathtaking and it is no wonder that the James Bond creators used Glencoe in their cinema blockbuster, Skyfall.
To guide our customers who are interested in visiting this spectacular James Bond film location whilst touring Scotland by campervan, Scottish Tourer has put together this helpful article to make the James Bond film locations in Scotland as easy to find as possible in your campervan or motorhome,
Back in 1962 was when James Bond author, Ian Fleming, first gave Bond his Scottish heritage.
As a child, Bond attended the prestigious Fettes College in Edinburgh, Scotland's historic capital. Edinburgh is a stunning, quaint Scottish city that makes for an ideal starting point for your campervan hire experience in Scotland. Read more about campervan hire in Edinburgh if you are interested in visiting this charming city.
The setting for Bond's family home didn't come to light until the 1969 book, “On her majesty’s secret service” was released. Here, was when fans discovered that Bond's father was originally from Glen Coe. To reflect this Scottish heritage, Glen Coe and other Scottish landscapes began to feature in a range of Bond films over the year, none more famous than in 2012, when Skyfall showed the dramatic beauty of Skyfall in one of the film's most iconic scenes.
Below is a list of how to find some of the most prominent James Bond film locations in Scotland.
Glen Coe is found within the beautiful Lochaber Geopark. The deep valley and the towering mountains carved by ancient glaciers and volcanic explosions is unmissable on your travels. As you drive through Glen Coe, you can explore firsthand the volcano that carved much of the valleys that lie there today. Not only is this site key to Skyfall but many fans will also be familiar with its links to the Harry Potter films.
Glen Etive gives not only film locations from James Bond: Skyfall but also from Braveheart. There is now a driving route through the glen so you can really embrace its beauty. If it’s a bit of adrenaline you're looking for, look no further than the rivers here. Classed as grade 4 rapids, these are not for the faint-hearted or a beginner, but they are a fantastic place to make some unfirgettable Scottish memories.
Loch Craignish lies between Oban and the crinan canal. You will find no shortage of walking routes by the loch. If you need a pitstop why not try Ardfern village on the shore? Here you can embrace a quieter way of life, fabulous local produce and collect a souvenir to take home with you. James Bond fans who enjoyed “From Russia with Love” will recognise the loch as another iconic James Bond film location in Scotland.
Eilean Donan Castle by the Kyle of Lochalsh is possibly one of the most photographed castles in Scotland. The castle itself sits on its own island and overlooks the Isle of Skye. The castle can be accessed via a small bridge and is popular tourist spot. FIlm fans will recognize it from “The world is not enough” and also “Highlander”.

The Bad Batch has been granted a theatrical run in the United States courtesy of Screen Media which plans to release the film in the first quarter of next year. The film’s streaming rights were recently acquired by Netflix, but it’s great to see that audiences will be given the opportunity to catch the film on the big screen, too. It’s a shame it’s just in the States, but those of us elsewhere can catch it digitally and that’s better than nothing.
A dystopian fairy tale set in a Texas wasteland where a girl (Suki Waterhouse) wanders alone into a band of cannibalistic drifters.
The Bad Batch comes from writer-director Ana Lily Armirpour, who is behind last year’s terrific genre-bending vampire tale A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night. Armirpour is steadily building a great reputation in the horror world and it’s always exciting for a woman to have such a strong, critically and audience praised reputation in an industry, undoubtedly, dominated by men.
Be sure to catch The Bad Batch in 2017 in theatres or on Netflix and it stars Jason Mamoa, Yolonda Ross, Keanu Reeves and Jim Carrey.
