Wisconsin Natural Food Associates, Inc. (WNFA)
The national Natural Food Associates (NFA) was founded in 1952 in Atlanta, Texas by a group of people prominent in the field of nutrition and/or natural farming, and dedicated to fostering and backing a movement toward “natural” farming. Prominent among the founders of the NFA were Dr. Joe Nichols of Atlanta, Texas, Dr. Henry Trautmann, a Madison Wisconsin physician concerned about human health and the nutrition to nurture and maintain that health, and Dr. Royal Lee, dentist, head of the Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A local NFA chapter was soon organized in Arcadia, Wisconsin, under the direction of Mrs. Clifford (Luella) Scharlau.
In April 1958 an organizational meeting of NFA members was held at the Park Hotel in Madison, Wisconsin. This was followed by a second organizational meeting at Devil’s Lake State Park in August, 1958. This became the Wisconsin chapter of Natural Food Associates or the WNFA. Pearl Thiessen, a Madison, Wisconsin nutritionist who spearheaded the effort, became the first president of the organization. The first convention of the new organization was held at Friendship-Adams High School in November 1958.
A number of constitutions and by-laws have been written and approved, the first being in 1962, updated in 1965 and revised again in 1975. After the chapter was incorporated, the constitution and by-laws were again revised and combined into one unit as the articles of incorporation and bylaws and approved in 1978. Newsletters were sent to the membership beginning in 1958 and through 1964. This was followed in 1965 by the Wisconsin NFA Bulletin. The “Approved Grower Program” was initiated in 1974. In 1982 the WNFA began to invest money in PAX World Market Funds which invests in energy, water, waste and sustainable food and agriculture markets.
Dr. Lee organized the Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research, a non-profit corporation with the objectives of education of the public and research to find remedies to correct malnutrition-caused disease. The Lee Foundation organization was dissolved in 1991 and the assets and literature were turned over to the Trautmann-Lee Natural Foods Fund Inc. The Trautmann-Lee Natural Foods Fund was initially formed in 1963 and was incorporated in 1978, as a non-stock corporation. The fund’s interest income was to be available for state chapter use in educating Wisconsin citizens in the natural methods of farming, gardening, nutrition and health practices. Dr. Paul C. Whyte was appointed as the fund’s first executive director. Don Plier became the registered agent for the fund in 1998. The NFA disbanded in 1997 and the WNFA was dissolved in 2018. All the Trautmann-Lee funds have been dispersed to many worthy organizations. | <urn:uuid:5a836851-fd6e-45a4-ad20-d82ef0ddf220> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wisconsin-naturalfoods.org/ | 2024-04-14T22:42:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.966443 | 586 |
This post is adapted from a white paper I wrote several years ago. The topic continues to be relevant.
A nonprofit executive director’s performance review is about more than just how well she/he is doing the job. For the chief executive it is about leadership, professional development, sharing accomplishments (personal and organizational), receiving feedback, and goal setting. For the board, the chief executive’s performance evaluation is about leadership, fiduciary responsibility, being a responsible employer, goal setting and achievement, and success – success for the organization and the individual.

My righteous one will live by faith….For we live by faith, not by sight….And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him….Jesus said to His disciples, Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith? (Heb 10:38; 2 Cor 5:7; Heb 11:6; Mark 4:40)
Gladys Aylward and the Lord
Gladys Aylward (1902-1970) was a British-born missionary to China, caring for orphans and adopting several herself. When the Japanese invaded Yangcheng, she was forced to flee. With only one assistant, Gladys led more than a hundred orphans over the mountains toward Free China. On the journey, Gladys wrestled with depression. After another sleepless night, she faced the morning with no hope of reaching safety. A 13-year-old girl reminded her of the true story of Moses and the Israelites crossing the Red Sea. Gladys said, “But I am not Moses.” The girl answered, “Of course not, but the Lord is still God!” Gladys and the orphans pressed on and made it through. They proved once again that no matter how feeble we feel, God is still God, and we can trust Him to help us.1
I quote again from John Peterson’s hymn:
No one understands like Jesus
When the foes of life assail
You should never be discouraged
Jesus cares and will not fail
Last time we looked at Christ’s divine power and His genuine humanity. Now we see how He rebukes His friends softly, in Bible times and now.
The Disciples Panic
It’s good that the disciples come to Jesus when the storm arises. They run to Him, like we should. But they come to the Lord freaking out. They come complaining, distrusting, acting impatient, and annoyed. In v. 38, they say, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” Jesus is sleeping when they need Him. And because He doesn’t act as soon as the hurricane hits, they accuse Him of being unconcerned.
Surely they believe that God (the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) rules the world. They believe that He is completely holy, wise, and powerful and that He preserves and governs all His creatures, and all their actions. But when the Lord seems unhurried, when He appears disinterested, when He waits til the last minute to act, they question His love. They say, “Teacher, don’t you care?”
G. Campbell Morgan says: “What we do in the crisis always depends on whether we see the difficulties in the light of God, or God in the shadow of the difficulties.”
When our eyes are on the waves instead of the Ruler of the waves, we falter. It’s good to care about our safety. Only fools ignore danger. But sometimes our healthy concern crosses the line into sinful anxiety. If we forget that Christ is in the boat with us, then we can be terrified too.
See Christ’s Gentle Rebuke
In v. 39, Jesus rebukes the sea and storm. But in v. 40, He rebukes the disciples and says, “Why are you so afraid?” You are not just concerned, you’re doubting me. I’m the Creator and you’re fearing created things too much. You’re tormenting yourselves and testing me. Why are you so afraid?
And Christ says in v. 40, “Do you still have no faith?” After you’ve heard my Father speak from heaven. And seen the Holy Spirit come upon me as a dove. And heard demons call me the Holy One of God. And seen me heal people with fevers, leprosy, and paralysis. And heard me forgive sins and teach like no one else ever has. After all this time with me: Do you still have no faith?
The Lord’s not accusing them of being unbelievers. In Matthew, Christ calls them men of little faith. In Luke, He asks: “Where is your faith?” Why are you not exercising it when it counts? Not living by faith in time of trouble? When things go wrong, their practical religion evaporates. And under pressure, I can be like that sometimes, maybe you too.
But notice, though the Lord corrects us gently. Jesus says, “Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent….Do not resent His rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those He loves, as a father the son he delights in.”2 Doubting Christ hurts us, beloved, so the Savior steers us back to trusting Him with kindness, tenderness, long-suffering, and love. Thank God, Jesus doesn’t divorce us if we’re faithless for a time. He doesn’t reject us for our stupidity or cast us off. Praise the Lord, Christ doesn’t abandon us when we grieve His Holy Spirit, or when we forget His commitment to us and ours to Him.
Christ bears with us and restores us! Scripture says: “A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not snuff out, till He has brought justice through to victory.”3 He is gentle with harassed and helpless people who are humble before Him. Scripture says: “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him; for He knows how we are formed, He remembers that we are dust.”4 Jesus says: As a mother has compassion on the child she has borne, I will comfort you.
A Helpful Prayer
In Mark 9, a father asked Jesus to heal his son, possessed by a destructive spirit since childhood. Christ said, “Everything is possible for one who believes.” Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” That’s such an honest prayer! It reminds us that our human faith is always weak and never perfect, belief and unbelief are often mixed in us. But this presents no difficulty for God to demonstrate His love and power. Tony Evans says, “If you find yourself doubting the Lord, make this father’s cry your prayer. Be honest with God about your doubts and proceed in faith. God will honor your faith and strengthen it.”
Maybe Christ put the best construction of the disciples’ wavering. That’s why He was gentle with them and graciously rescued them from danger. King David said, “The Lord rescued me from my powerful enemy, who were too strong for me….He brought me out into a spacious place. He rescued me because He delighted in me.”5
Let this old, old story sink down deep into our souls and change us and encourage is, beloved. Dwell upon Christ’s divine power and His genuine humanity, and His gentle rebuke.

Scooter sessions take place at lunchtimes on the Key Stage 1 playground. There are scooters and helmets available for children to use during these sessions, however children are also welcome to bring their own scooter and helmet from school to take part in their allocated session. Classes are split into groups A and B and teachers have lists of the children in each group and will ensure that the children know which group they are in. | <urn:uuid:2ab67955-46ad-46cd-b550-e269a54e43ec> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wolsingham-pri.durham.sch.uk/pupils/school-council/sports-crew-2/ | 2024-04-14T23:58:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.972518 | 124 |
The Metropolitan Police is investigating more than 600 domestic and sexual abuse allegations against its officers, the BBC has been told.
They are the focus of a specialist team established to restore public trust in the force following a number of scandals, including the murder of Sarah Everard by a serving officer. Their work is similar to fictional unit AC-12 in the BBC drama Line of Duty, but focusing instead on abusive cops, not "bent cops".
In an office high in the Met's most imposing and secure building, a team of detectives is hard at work. Listen closely to their phone calls and the nature of their investigations is revealed.
Det Con Zoe Di Carlo is confirming the details of a witness statement with the victim who has made it.
"These are the physical assaults, this is the controlling behaviour," she tells the woman as she scrolls down the document on her laptop.
These detectives are investigating abusers, not among the general public, but within their own force. Many of the officers who work in the unit volunteered to do so, a significant proportion of whom are women.
The detectives hunting criminals in uniform, to restore trust in the police.
The new Domestic and Sexual Offences Unit - or Daso unit - represents an attempt to sweep out the dark corners of a force with a trust problem.
Since it was established in January, the team's caseload has grown to 625 allegations of sexual or domestic abuse against officers or police staff.
Sometimes the victims they are trying to protect from rogue police officers are members of the public, but sometimes they are other police officers. A significant number of cases involve domestic abuse situations where a couple are both in the police.
Such abuse often feeds on a power imbalance. The police is a service where uniforms, ranks and the law itself give officers the ability to exert power over other people, inside and outside the force. There is a risk that this might encourage unprofessional or criminal behaviour, or allow it to be covered up.
Dressed in her uniform - a white shirt, black trousers, epaulettes and a black tie - one alleged victim, a young female officer, describes how she reported concerns about a colleague to the unit.
The woman - whose identity we agreed to protect - told the BBC how the male officer sent her text messages of an increasingly sexual nature.
"Expressing things that he did, or didn't do, sexually," she says. "Asking is that stuff that I would be interested in? I just thought: 'Someone hasn't learned boundaries.'"
But it did not stop, and when she discovered he had targeted other women and young men in her team, she reported it to the detectives at Daso.
In another recent case, a police community support officer was convicted and sacked for masturbating in uniform, in broad daylight in a public park.
Senior Daso officer Det Ch Insp Rich Williamson describes this behaviour as "absolutely appalling. Off the scale."
The worst cases the team deals with involve rape and severe domestic abuse - all alleged to have been committed by police officers or staff.
The unit is the response to a string of horrifying scandals which caused enormous damage to the reputation of the UK's biggest police force.
The rape and murder of Sarah Everard in March 2021 - by a police officer who pretended to be a plain-clothes detective to gain control of his victim - had a particularly devastating impact.
The case led to protests over police misogyny by women, who said something was wrong with the organisation's culture. Then in December, two police officers were jailed for taking pictures of the bodies of murdered sisters, Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman. The officers were supposed to have been guarding the crime scene.
Shortly afterwards, the report of a long-running investigation into a group of male officers at Charing Cross Police Station added further fuel to the fire. Codenamed Operation Hotton, it found the men had sent racist and sexist messages revealing attitudes no organisation could accept within its workforce, not least the police.
The then commissioner Dame Cressida Dick failed to convince the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan she could change things quickly enough, and was forced to resign.
Several inquiries were launched. A "super-complaint" by lawyers at legal charity the Centre for Women's Justice resulted in three police watchdogs ruling that all forces needed to improve their handling of domestic abuse allegations against police officers.
Previously, internal investigations into police law-breaking or misconduct have been conducted by officers specialising in what the Met calls "professional standards".
But Daso is different because of the expertise of its officers.
The team's senior leader, Det Supt Annette Clark, says they have experience in safeguarding, rather than internal investigations. "Particularly understanding domestic abuse, and understanding sexual offences," she explains. "The impact that has on people and the victims."
Achieving convictions for sexual offences and domestic abuse is notoriously hard, and the success rate currently extremely low. It is arguably harder when the alleged perpetrator is a police officer - and harder still when both the accuser and accused are in uniform.
And when the allegation is not properly dealt with, the experience for the accuser can be devastating.
Former officer Gemma MacRae blew the whistle at a different force, Police Scotland.
When she accused a former partner - also a police officer - of domestic abuse, she knew she ran the risk of being "labelled and not in a good way" by colleagues.
The priority, she said, appeared to be protecting the reputation of the police rather than investigating the allegations.
"Essentially, it was a gang of bullies. And very much the boys' club. If you were female, you weren't part of the crew," she says.
Her initial claims morphed into dozens of secondary complaints about the way she had been dealt with as a whistleblower.
Police Scotland investigated but concluded no action should be taken against her partner. But, after several years, the force has finally apologised for not following established procedures for dealing with domestic abuse allegations, whether made against a police officer or not.
One of her colleagues, an officer named Scott Gallup, was convicted of sexually assaulting her. When Gemma confided in him about the alleged domestic abuse, she said he seemed more interested in coming on to her, at one point touching her bottom.
The whole experience was "devastating", she says. She left the police, Scotland and the UK - and now lives in rural Norway.
Responding to the allegation of a "bullying boys' club", Police Scotland said it had taken "appropriate action...to address behaviour that was not in line with our values of integrity, fairness, respect and upholding human rights." The force added that it has improved police training in dealing with domestic abuse and wants its workplaces to be free of misogyny and discrimination.
The Met's new approach is helping alleged victims. The female officer who accused a colleague of sending sexual messages says the involvement of Daso, with its expert abuse investigators, helped her.
"It just felt like they asked the right questions that made you feel like what you were saying was valid," she says. "It's a specialism, you have to love it and that very much came across."
Her allegations will likely amount to professional misconduct if proven, but the investigation continues.
Det Supt Clark says her team are disgusted by the behaviour of abusive officers.
"We don't want them in the organisation and we need to get rid of them."
At least 1,600 allegations against police or police staff have been investigated across England and Wales in the past three years - our figures suggest - although several large forces, including Manchester and West Midlands Police refused to provide any figures, claiming it would be too costly to collate them.
One of the Met's experts on domestic abuse, Det Sgt Viran Wiltshire, says the rise in cases actually reflects the organisation's growing understanding of how the problem can present itself - by improving training in detecting it, and working with victims to get prosecutions.
"I think that's the shift that's happening within our Met culture," she says.
Whatever the causes, the rising number of allegations looks bad for the force. "It will get worse before it gets better," is a phrase heard often among senior Met officers.
The Met now has a new commissioner, Sir Mark Rowley, and this issue is near the top of his inbox.
"It's about rooting out those who've let us down," he said in a recent BBC interview. "We've failed to do that, and we will be doing that on my watch."
This will require determined police work by Det Supt Clark's team. But she says many officers tell her: "I want to do this. I want to come and work in professional standards to ensure we get out the bad cops." | <urn:uuid:e58473fd-640b-46b7-bbe3-1d1a641bd917> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://womansnews.com/inside-the-new-met-police-unit-investigating-officer-abuse-claims | 2024-04-15T00:32:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.980047 | 1,816 |

Automation has eliminated many low-skill manufacturing jobs. But it has created new and growing opportunities in which higher levels of skill and education are required. However, there may not be enough workers to fill those jobs.
A 2018 study by Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute found the skills gap may leave an estimated 2.4 million positions unfilled in the 10-year period ending in 2028.
One way to help close the gap is by incorporating viable industry certifications into existing college degree programs. Certifications are awarded after students pass a competency-based assessment from an independent third-party organization.
They are doing just that in Ohio University’s Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology and Management degree program. Seniors take the exam to become a Certified Manufacturing Specialist (CMS) which is offered by the Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE). It covers 16 content areas ranging from Non-Traditional Machining to Computer Integrated Manufacturing to Electronics.
Todd Myers, Ph.D. is chair of the Department of Engineering Technology and Management and the director of workplace and professional development in the Russ College of Engineering and Technology. He tells WorkingNation the rationale behind the decision to embed the CMS exam into Ohio University’s program was multi-fold.
“We wanted an external validation of the performance for students. So, you can have courses, you can have projects, you can have different assessments with tests. But the ability to have a third party that’s outside take a look and validate based on the student’s performance at how well they are performing in the subject matter areas, that was one of the reasons that we were interested as a department.”
“From the student’s standpoint, the ability to go through and then get that credential, you now are able to put those three initials after your name on your resume. And it provides a discussion item to the potential employers as you’re doing your interview of what this is about and what did you do.”
Myers says the student pass rate on the CMS exam is in the 90th percentile compared to roughly 58% nationally. He adds that certification as part of a school’s curricula has benefits for the manufacturing industry as well.
“Honestly, what I’ve been finding is there’s a lot of times when you talk to industry, they’re wanting a way to make sure that somebody is walking into their business and is able to perform and not going to need a year to be able to get up to speed. Knowing that the student has shown that they have the mastery of these particular areas gives them a comfort level that they know that they’re going to walk in and be productive within the first month.”
“Some manufacturers, depending on the school that you’re going to, you will hear things like, ‘Education is not listening to what industry wants.’ They want industry-recognized credentials to be able to validate that if somebody has a robotics course from group A or group B or group C that they’re exiting with similar knowledge or abilities. And I think what the industry is typically looking for is some type of validation that there was rigor and that learning occurred. But then when you start digging into those, what you find out is that they want, ‘Well, I’ve used brand A at my place.’ Another company uses brand C and another company uses brand D and that they’re actually looking for a certification on a unique particular item. Whereas the certified manufacturing specialist gives you much more of a ‘These people have the generalized skills to be able to do these now, and the ability to learn that specific content.’”
So why aren’t more programs incorporating certification exams into their curricula? One reason is finding a certification that matches what the school is teaching, according to Myers.
“What we found was is that this task, this certification aligns well with our program and what our objectives of the program are. And our objective is actually set by industry because we have an industrial advisory board, which comes and reviews our program once a year. It’s made up of over 20 individuals in manufacturing from different firms that typically would hire our students and/or our alumni who have succeeded and are now in senior management roles within those firms.”
Another reason is financial.
“One of the biggest challenges for us is these certification exams cost money,” notes Dr. Myers. “They cost money for the students who want to be able to sit and take the test. And then after you have it, typically they want you to join whatever organization is providing this, as well as pay for that certification. And then there’s a yearly membership or yearly renewal, and then continuing education requirements to be able to maintain that.”
At Ohio University, the testing fee is covered by an alumnus who saw the value in certification. Students then decide if the other expenses are manageable for them.
Manufacturing is facing a dearth of workers over the next decade. However, embedding manufacturing certifications at the college level is one way to provide students with better opportunities when entering the field, while giving the industry a new pool of potential workers who will be better able to adapt to, and take greater advantage of, the rapid advances in technology that are driving tremendous change. | <urn:uuid:8948d057-ef70-4fc7-a52c-68dc89438e3b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://workingnation.com/embedding-a-manufacturing-certification-helps-make-college-grads-more-marketable/ | 2024-04-15T00:50:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.971055 | 1,123 |

The impact of technology is being felt by both blue-collar and white-collar workers in this country at an accelerated rate. While some may be pessimistic about the future of jobs and whether or not people will be able to digest this new pace of change, Thomas Friedman is optimistic.
The New York Times opinion columnist and author of the New York Times bestseller, Thank You For Being Late, appeared on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Monday to explain why he has great faith in American creativity to create and adapt to new jobs and what new set of jobs will see a surge in growth in the near future.
Friedman also recently appeared on Charlie Rose’s PBS show to talk about his book and how to thrive in an accelerated workforce.

Although ancient Egyptians were the first to describe the brain, the services that are provided to patients with disorders of the brain and the number of trained neurologists in Arab and African countries is at best centralized in large cities and at worst nonexistent.
This occurs despite the argument that the burden of neurologic disorders in the developing world is higher than that in developed countries. In one study from Ethiopia, it was estimated that neurology cases constitute 20-25 percent of ER admissions. Stroke is the No. 1 cause of disability in the world. According to World Health Organization (WHO) records, stroke occurs 20 years earlier in developing countries when compared to developed ones, and only 3 percent of disabled individuals get rehabilitation services. Similarly, 90 percent of epilepsy cases occur in the developing world. 1,2
The combined Arab and African population is 1.5 billion, around 23 percent of the world population. With current improvements in vaccination programs and water sanitation, the mean age of the population is increasing, and it is estimated that by 2030, the burden of noncommunicable disorders will be higher than communicable disorders in Africa.
The Situation in Egypt
The number of trained neurologists is steadily growing. Specialized neurology services for stroke, epilepsy, headache, neurorehabilitation, and neuromuscular disorders, among others, are starting and successfully growing. These services can be found in Cairo and to a lesser extent in Alexandria and Assiut. Apart from this, the mere presence of a trained neurologist is an exception. It is a common scenario to find a community of 1 million to 3 million inhabitants who are served by one to two neurology consultants, who may be living in another place and shuttling back and forth. The brain drain happens from these areas to Cairo, in addition to other countries.
The Situation in Africa
Neurology education in many sub-Saharan African countries is almost nonexistent. Around 90 percent of African universities do not have master degrees or other forms of formal training modules in neurology. Most of the trained neurologists get their training abroad. Many leave their countries because there are no posts for neurologists in the university or the ministry of health. The number of trained neurologists in many countries can be counted on two hands. For instance, only 11 countries in Africa have more than 10 neurologists per country, five countries in Africa have only five to 10 neurologists per country, and 23 countries in Africa have one to four neurologists per country.
In countries with good neurology training programs, well-established neurology services can only be found in central cities, and patients have to travel for hundreds of miles to find a good neurology service.
We Had a Plan
The Treat and Teach Initiative
For the aforementioned reasons, Ain Shams University has been endorsing an initiative called Treat and Teach, which is designed to develop short- and intermediate-term strategies to reduce the gap in the number of trained neurologists and the deficiency of neurology education programs in Africa. We are trying to complement the current efforts to improve neurology education in Africa with an initiative that has a mix of online education and on-site clinical training, while working on establishing medical services that may include a stroke unit, memory clinic, neurorehabilitation units, or a neurology department. Master degrees will be given from Ain Shams University, Cairo, and work will be done to establish local master degrees in rural centers. This could lead to national neuroscience services run by local providers.
To promote this initiative, Ain Shams University organized the First Arab African Teleneurology Conference: A Treat and Teach Initiative. Held in the League of Arab States January 19–20, 2016, the conference was designed for medical and non-medical stakeholders. Representatives of Ain Shams University, the League of Arab States, Egyptian ministries of health, foreign affairs and communications, Egyptian military hospitals, the American Telemedicine Association and WHO joined the discussions, in addition to 247 attendees representing 12 countries and 13 universities.
Discussions Focused On
- The high prevalence of neurologic disorders, their impact on the community in terms of mortality and morbidity, and the importance of time-to-start management and clinical expertise to manage these sophisticated cases.
- The clear deficiency in trained neurologists in rural parts of Arab countries and in most African countries.
- The increasing numbers of trained neurologists and specialized neurology services in large cities, such as Cairo, the challenge to use these experiences in rural areas and avoid the brain drain problem, and the importance of establishing stronger inter-African communications to bridge geographical barriers.
- Presentations from international experts in the field illustrating experiences from the Mayo Clinic, Harvard, California and the U.K.; experiences from Egypt and Sudan were also presented.
- The great potential and readiness for change in many sub-Saharan countries. Africa is a young continent, with an average age of 17 to 20 years old. Africa will have the largest workforce in the world in the next 25 years, and seven out of 10 of the fastest growing economies in the world are sub-Saharan African countries. Government spending on health care worldwide is the highest in Africa (18.4 percent). The number of Internet users in Africa multiplied 70 times from 2000 to 2010.
- As a proof of concept, four speakers invited from the U.S. used telecommunication technologies to give live interactive sessions showing scientific information and giving second opinions about selected cases.
A round table discussion worked on the action plan of launching the Treat and Teach Initiative. There were six objectives for this round table discussion:
- Governance and planning
- Human resources
Results and Recommendations of the Meeting
- Ain Shams University has agreed to start the first teleneurology unit in Egypt. Ain Shams has signed several agreements with Egyptian hospitals and African universities to start a proof of concept phase of hospital-to-hospital acute care teleneurology service that would be complemented with bilateral mobility to facilitate service development in remote areas. Similar agreements with international centers of excellence are also underway.
- Additionally, Ain Shams University, WHO, Egyptian ministries of health and foreign affairs, military forces, and the Arab League are currently collaborating to establish an Arab African center of excellence for neurology, neurosurgery and teleneurology, which would serve as a regional center of excellence to support best medical practices and education. The management of this center should provide a self-sustained investment model that would facilitate public-private partnerships. Ain Shams University is currently preparing an initial proposal for this project. A copy of this project will be delivered to the Egyptian government and another copy to the meeting of Arab Ministers of Health meeting.
Conclusions: The Happy End
- It is of utmost importance to nurture local neurology leaders by giving them the right mix of scientific and management skills, in addition to logistically supporting their starting neurology programs.
- Although we think highly of new telecommunication technologies as a way to bypass geographical barriers, we are aware of its limitations. Neurology, as all other medical specialties, requires direct face-to-face interactions with mentors and patients alike, thus the essential role of bilateral mobility in the Treat and Teach Initiative.
- Sustainability is always a key issue in developing services. It is estimated that 90 percent of telemedicine projects stop after a few years. The role of education, in addition to telemedicine practice, is essential to ensure the sustainability of this project. Thinking of the spoke as a “hub in evolution” is mandatory in our view to promote the growth and progress of the best medical care to this large population of the world. The other important guarantee for sustainability is the integration of telemedicine practice in everyday work.
- Work should be done to establish centers of excellence that are strategically located and connected to peripheral hubs in a model that allows growth, dissemination of knowledge and sustainability. This lies within a health care system that offers support to everyone in the community. The self-sustained investment model and the idea of promoting local neurology champs would ideally offer physicians working in remote areas more self-actualization values, in addition to a decent financial revenue that can help reverse the brain leak of trained clinicians.
- The research programs of these centers should be targeted toward the actual needs of this part of the world, developing the concepts and finding new solutions for better health care delivery. The real change would be to gain the ability to produce knowledge.

Let’s stop dancing around the elephant in the room. It’s the Wuhan Flu (武漢流行性感冒). Actually . . . it’s the Wuhan Kung Flu. SARS COVID-19 is a novel SARS virus similar to the Spanish Flu. As time goes on it seems that it is very, very highly infectious but about as deadly as the seasonal flu we get every year. The deadly thing isn’t the virus. It is our collective freak-out over the Wuhan Kung Flu.
There are two illnesses afoot in our country. One is Wuhan Kung Flu. The other is a collective panic attack yeasted up by media celebrities and Maoist Yellow True Believers who saw the tea leaves and decided that this is their moment. These YTB’s happily get naked and flop onto the couch with their legs akimbo for a GFE with the Chinese Communist Party.
Obummer and the Debaclecrats used their 8 years to sell our country to anyone with enough money. The Chinese, ever enterprising, wooed the Sowshul Demutants with promises of a dynasty and epic wealth. We are the drug sick crack-whore willing to fuck for a $10.00 piece.
Wuhan Kung Flu Sauce for Your Laptop?
Name a laptop that isn’t made in China. My Lenovo t480s that I bought last year was made in 深圳. Ditto my phone and tablet. Very little is made in this country anymore. Smithfield Country Hams? Chinese. Even critical technology in the F35 fighter is made in China. Last, we owe $1.09 Trillion to China.
Whatever. Right? Not even. When China coughs, we get sick. One theory floating out there is that the Wuhan Kung Flu is a virus hatched under Chinese research contract managed by none other than Dr. Anthony Fauci. Fauci and the Obama Administration paid the lab in Wuhan to work on a novel SARS virus that they could in turn, figure out how to treat. Ok, fine.
Problem. That virus escaped the lab in Wuhan. It’s in our world now making people sick. Dr. Fauci, if this theory is true, you fucked up.
We thought China was our whore. Since 1972 we have been in bed with a country we thought was a nubile, docile exotic flower. That country is a war dragon playing the long game. She’s good with a little bed time because she knows the power of sex, money and fear.
Not Yet Up
Rock bottom is a thing. I don’t know if we are there yet. We are close. China is revealing her true nature as a dragon queen with a taste for ‘merican meat. Orange Menace’s opposition is losing. And it seems that the Lotus Flower we thought was our bitch played us.
We are her bitch. The Dragon Queen owns us. Yes, this connects to Wuhan Kung Flu. I’m about to get to that. You can tell who has Chinese hemorrhoids by the propaganda they publish. The true believers are the ones with the most shrill, dystopian tantrums blaming everyone except the Chinese.
This is an apocalyptic, end of the world health crisis say the Yellow True Believers (YTB’s). Their answer? Maoism. We need a fundamental change to our society. A Cultural Revolution will cure us of Wuhan Kung Flu and save us from our sinful ways.
Obama’s Administration further embedded a seditious cadre of Maoists and صحيح المؤمنين الإسلام within the White House. With Billary in the Oval Orifice the road to الجنة would be improved. This is part of a long term plan to make America Maoist Again (MAMA). After all, Mao is the one true way to a perfect world. Anyone who doesn’t see that needs reeducation.
The YTB’s lost a crucial battle when their attempted coup d’etat of Donald Trump turned into a limp dick dystopian tantrum that was full of sound and fury and signified nothing. Nothing Orange Shitweasel has been accused of has stuck. Quite the contrary. Most of the accusations turn out to be things that the Democrats did.
It is a familiar political play that has been invincible for decades. Convict someone in the court of public opinion and leverage that conviction into political death. One problem: Dumpf fights. This is not how it has worked for the YTB’s. They don’t have a counter strategy for someone who answers their accusations with political blows.
Enough specious political theory. I want to move on to our collective freak-out. We were told in February that this was the arrival of the Day of Judgement. The excesses of the ‘Mericans would be called to account and the final judgement pronounced on a corrupt system that profited the rich and oppressed the proletariat. This would be to the glory of Mao.
Shut It Down
The answer was to shut down the country, cower in our homes, stay at least six feet away from each other at all times, wear a face mask 247365, and wait until the YTB’s had burned Washington D.C. to purify it of it’s capitalist excesses. In exchange, the YTB’s claim they’ll pay for everything. This might work in a country that has a long history of imperialism. ‘Merica is a country of dissidents. We don’t comply in the good times. Making us panic makes us even more ornery.
Panic attacks have a cycle. Our reptile brains scream at us to either fight or flee during the attack. That’s where we are today. Soon, though, comes depression as all that adrenaline and dopamine exhausts itself and the thing we want most is sleep. Maybe peanut butter and banana sandwiches. And beer, definitely beer.
A noisy minority of our leaders and media celebrities want the attack to continue for as long as possible. They know that in the heat of our aroused state we’ll say yes to damn near any crazy idea if it will help us calm down. Free shit? Sure. Bigger, more authoritarian rule? Yeah, if it makes us safer.
Mama Knows Best
Various mayors and governors have showed their true colors as Maoist Yellow True Believers (YTB). As we start to venture out of our homes these brokers of anxiety have escalated demands that we stay in our homes in the name of public safety. These wanna-be barons insist that non-essential businesses stay shut down. “Essential” seems to mean, “contributed to my campaign.” These mayors and governors have a narrative they are sticking to.
There have been multiple, conflicting narratives about Wuhan Kung Flu. One is that this is our fault as the seat of the Evil Capitalist Empire. We did this and we should genuflect before Mao while asking for His mercy and forgiveness. Another is that this is a serious crisis but it’s been exploited by YTB’s who believe this is their moment in history to rise to their rightful seat of power. My favorite is that this is an alien virus released by the Illuminati to make us amenable to mind control by Google’s DeepMind AI.
So we get a range of responses. Some of my customers worry about me, about my car, about what sort of evil festers back there where about 20 people a day sit for 15 minutes or so while I drive them to their destination. They come armed with hand sanitizer and Lysol spray ready to do battle with the capitalist demons laying in wait for them.
Just a Ten Piece
One of them didn’t last more than two minutes eight weeks ago before asking me to stop the car and he got out. As he exited the door his words were, “this car is infecting my brain. I hate your sinful capitalist ways! You need to come to Mao and put copies of the Little Red Book in the seat pockets back here.” The problem? I didn’t want him spraying the seats with Lysol. Also, I wasn’t’ wearing a mask. Yeah . . . I’ll get right on that.
My dysfunctional customers are just happy that the voices in their heads are quiet enough to get through the ride. They don’t wear masks and chat with me about the Illuminati implanting an AI in Salmon Voldemort’s brain. For the last couple months I haven’t seen much of the dutiful YTB’s. I’ve made money giving rides to my other customer base: the crazies and criminals. It’s made me nostalgic for 1980’s Oakland, CA Friendly Cab.
At some point even the most devout YTB’s are going to have to come out of the house. All this social distancing stuff has become a farce. It’s simply not possible to shop in a grocery store and stay six feet away from everyone. Masks are another farce. People wear masks incorrectly. The variety of face coverings is emblematic of attitudes towards Kung Flu. You see noses peaking over the top of Harley Davidson handkerchiefs tied around the face. I see people evaluating the crowd coming toward them in the store or on the street and raising or lowering the mask based on their level of anxiety.
What’s coming is an emotional crash after an anxiety attack like the one we experienced. To recover we’ll want to shut down. This means that the number of folk who stop giving a fuck will outnumber those praying to Mao in their living rooms. There will be propaganda in the press telling us what sinful people we are and that the answer is to double down on the Cultural Revolution. Some will but more won’t. And the YTB’s will find themselves becoming a topic of snarky meme’s gone viral.
After a fight there is depression, apology, honeymoon and rinse, repeat. “Plus les choses changent, plus elles restent les mêmes.” We are still in the fight so ahead of us is depression. I don’t think we will see an apology because neither BuyDem or Twitler do that. The YTB’s will move the ball and scream about the next perceived dystopian nightmare. They are losing the messaging game so their future is as an amusing reason to waste mass storage on the cloud.
So much of what folk do and feel about Kung Flu has to do with their attitude towards risk and misery. Folk who lean choleric or melancholy resonate with the YTBs. Marxism and Maoism are angry political philosophies. Being a successful Maoist means being pissed off at an ephemeral enemy that is the reason for one’s misery. It is that ephemeral enemy that must change so the Maoist YTB can feel good. These are the ones still cowering in their safe spaces inside their homes. The ones with eight weeks of delivery containers from their favorite takeout places are still piled up around the trash can(s) inside the house.
Life Goes On
The other half, the phlegmatic and sanguine folk, are going about their lives. Some do the needful, some don’t. Our Guvna KnawThem’s dictates fall on their deaf ears. In my neighborhood the smoke from BBQ grills is part one of a two part proscription for Wuhan Kung Flu. Part 2 is beer. The resulting symptom is a drunken sermon on the front lawn accompanied by Spotify’s RapCaviar.
I can’t resist a little preaching. Our institutions are failing us. It’s going to get worse. We’ll have to rely on kin, friends and neighbors. If you don’t already own the land you live on now would be a good time to buy. Start a garden or expand the one you have. If your municipality will let you have chickens, rabbits, and maybe a goat, you need those. Spend some time at the gun range so you can hit what you are aiming at. Yes, own a gun. Own something to defend yourself and something you can hunt with. Join a church or something like the Rotary Club.
Start bartering with people so you don’t rely entirely on cash or credit to acquire what you need. Get out of debt except for your mortgage. Keep a supply of water and food sufficient to keep yourself and your kin fed for a month, longer if you can. For more on this, Survival Sullivan.
That’s enough. Kung Flu isn’t going to kill us all. And the Yellow True Believers don’t know it yet but they are becoming a joke. China? I won’t be surprised if we end up in a war with the dragon we thought was our bitch. | <urn:uuid:eb929f55-cb98-4e43-b257-908a311eaf98> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://worldofwebb.net/wuhan-kung-flu/ | 2024-04-14T23:27:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.954719 | 2,775 |

Progressing skills, talent and education across the region
Current highlights of implementation of the Regional Economic Development Plan (REDP)

WellingtonNZ are driving implementation of the Regional Economic Development Plan (REDP) on behalf of the WRLC. Work is underway to implement the 33 initiatives within the REDP, with current highlights including progress on initiatives that contribute to skills, talent and education across our region. These include:
Pasifika business enablement
Louis Lagaluga Hutchings has joined WellingtonNZ for summer through the Tupu Toa Internship Programme. Louis is exploring options to grow the capability and capacity of Pasifika businesses and is keen to hear what support and/or programmes would be most useful as he identifies a shortlist of options. If you would like to connect with Louis for a talanoa/conversation about your ideas and experiences, please contact [email protected] by 14 December.
House of Science
House of Science have a vast library of hands-on, bilingual science resource kits that enable thousands of primary school teachers across New Zealand to deliver life-changing science lessons. This addresses the challenge presented through 73% of primary schools not having an effective science programme in place as of 2013, and only 20% of 12 year-olds being at the expected curriculum level in science in 2017, making science the worst taught subject in our primary schools. House of Science New Zealand recently won the Royal Society of Chemistry’s (RSC) Horizon Prize for Education, a prestigious international award, in acknowledgement of this exceptional contribution to science education.
WellingtonNZ are working alongside House of Science New Zealand to secure funding to expand their programme to primary and secondary schools across our region. This is a long-term investment in developing our future science and technology workforce. If your organisation would be interested in an opportunity to sponsor this expansion, please contact [email protected].
Summer of Engineering
WellingtonNZ have supported a pilot Summer of Engineering programme run by Summer of Tech and Engineering New Zealand to match mechanical engineering interns and graduates with employers. A total of 22 roles were available through the pilot and 11 have been filled to date. The programme provides necessary work experience to build our engineering workforce, helping to address current skills shortages, and will be expanded to the wider engineering industry next summer. | <urn:uuid:687bcc96-cb8b-400b-b915-42c8b18eccd0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wrlc.org.nz/regional-economic-development-plan-implementation-underway | 2024-04-14T23:27:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.928617 | 497 |

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) — A 92-year-old North Carolina man has finally received the Purple Heart he earned more than 70 years ago while fighting in Belgium during World War II.
Oscar Davis Jr. was a private assigned as a radio telephone operator when he was knocked down by a large piece of shrapnel during the Battle of the Bulge, according to a Fayetteville Observer report. The radio on Davis’ back protected him, but the German artillery barrage knocked down a tree that fell on Davis, injuring his spine.
He was paralyzed from the waist down for three weeks and ultimately rejoined his unit in Germany.
Davis was told long ago that he would receive the honor, but the award paperwork was never signed.
Decades later, he smiled from ear to ear as Lt. Col. Marcus Wright leaned down to pin the Purple Heart to his jacket on Saturday.
“This has been some day,” Davis said. “I couldn’t believe all this was going to happen. I just want to thank the Lord.”
Friends, family and more than two dozen soldiers with the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, attended the ceremony.
Wright, commander of the 1st Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, presided over the event. Davis belonged to the same regiment.
The ceremony was the culmination of nearly two years of work by the Veterans Legacy Foundation, a Harnett County-based volunteer organization that has helped more than 100 veterans receive military awards owed to them.
John Elskamp, executive director of the foundation, said volunteers scoured an archive of war reports to find proof of Davis’ injuries.
The Purple Heart was the latest medal the group recovered for Davis. In late 2015, the group helped the World War II veteran to receive the Bronze Star and other medals that were awarded to him in a ceremony at the U.S. Army Airborne & Special Operations Museum in Fayetteville.
Capt. Andrew Hammack, commander of A Company, 1st Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, said Davis is “still one of us.”
“He’s just not currently reporting for duty,” Hammack said.

Methane May Burn for Days
Those hoping for a look told to stay away from scene
By KEF O. HOWARD Staff Writer
LIMESTONE - The fire is contained to the drilling site, but it may be several days before the cause of a Marshall County gas explosion is determined.
Flames continued to light the sky late Monday at a natural gas drilling site on Beam's Lane, about 3.5 miles east of Moundsville off U.S. 250 where seven workers were injured Monday. A section of U.S. 250 had to be shut down after the explosion sent fire about 75 feet into the air.
The gas will continue to burn off for two to three days, Kristi Gittins, spokeswoman for Dallas, Texas-based Chief Oil & Gas LLC, told the Associated Press.
As it does, a team from Texas-based Wild Well Control, a company that specializes in rig fires, is moving out damaged equipment. Once those workers can safely reach the well, they will cap it, Gittins said.
The explosion occurred at 1:15 a.m. Monday. Marshall County 911 dispatchers received a call from a resident who said they had heard an explosion. A few minutes later another call was received from a worker at the drilling site confirming the explosion and large fire.
Moundsville Volunteer Fire Chief Danny Holmes said his crew arrived at the scene within minutes, but discovered no drilling company employees. Holmes said before emergency responders arrived, the injured men had gotten into private vehicles and were taken by co-workers to local hospitals. Four of the men drove to Reynolds Memorial Hospital in Glen Dale for treatment, while three others drove to Ohio Valley Medical Center in Wheeling.
All of the workers were later transferred by ambulance to the West Penn Burn Center in Pittsburgh. By Monday afternoon, two of the workers had been released. The five others remained hospitalized in fair condition.
One of the injured, who was questioned by sheriff's deputies while receiving treatment at Reynolds, was able to give some information about the events leading up to the blast, said Marshall County Chief Deputy Kevin Cecil.
"There were seven workers on the drill, changing a drill bit, when they started to hear what they described as a loud rumbling," Cecil said.
Before the crew could evacuate the drilling pad, the explosion occurred, Cecil said.
Twenty fire department crews and two emergency management teams from Marshall and Belmont counties were called to the scene to battle the fire. Marshall County Emergency Management Director Tom Hart said firefighters could only get within about 1,000 feet of the flames. Officials from the West Virginia Division of Environmental Protection, OSHA and Consol Energy also were at the site, Hart said.
The fire presents no danger to any structures or people, said Bill Hendershot, an inspector with the state Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Oil and Gas.
Gittins said the drilling crew works for Union Drilling Inc. of Buckhannon, W.Va. The company was contracted by Chief Oil & Gas to drill for natural gas through an abandoned coal mine owned by Consol Energy, Gittins said.
Marshall County Commissioner Jake Padlow said the land is the site of the former Alexander Coal Mine.
Gittins said workers had been drilling in the area for several days before the explosion. She said the workers had drilled to a little deeper than 1,000 feet when they hit a "shallow pocket" of methane gas in the mine. Gittins said something ignited the gas, resulting in a large explosion.
On Monday evening, Gittins commended local emergency responders.
"They did a great job securing the area," Gittins said.
She said the company has brought in "well control personnel" from Houston-based Wild Well Control to continue efforts to extinguish the fire and determine the cause.
"Our well control specialists have deemed the site secure," Gittins said. "The pad site is contained and the rig is disabled. The well is still flaring, which is actually what you want to see happening.
"The well control personnel are currently clearing equipment from the site to better assess the fire. The plan is to extinguish the fire but it could take two to three days."
Chief Oil & Gas currently has 15 gas wells in West Virginia and has been drilling in the Marcellus Shale for a decade without any major incidents, Gittins said.
U.S. 250 was reopened at about 2:30 p.m. Monday, but officials are asking county residents to stay away from the area as much as possible while crews are still working.
The operation was less than a week old when the blast occurred: DEP records show a permit was issued June 2 to AB Resources PA LLC of Brecksville, Ohio.
Gittins said AB Resources is the operator of the well, while Chief has a "participation interest." It is Chief's responsibility to drill and complete the well, she said.
Methane is a known risk when working near old mines, and the company typically takes a variety of precautions, including venting systems. Gittins could not immediately say what precautions were in place at this site.
Prentice Cline, OSHA's assistant area director in Charleston, said blowout preventers are typically required on gas rigs.
But DEP spokeswoman Kathy Cosco said the Union rig didn't have one because it hadn't yet reached a depth where a blowout preventer is required. When the accident occurred, it was still drilling a hole through rock, not pumping gas.
OSHA cited Union Drilling in 2009 for alleged workplace safety and health violations found at a New Salem, Pa., worksite. Penalties totaled $54,600.
Monday's explosion is the latest in a string of accidents related to the rapidly growing pursuit of Marcellus gas.
In Pennsylvania, environmental regulators are investigating what caused another well to spew explosive gas and polluted water for about 16 hours last week until it was brought under control. That company, EOG Resources Inc., has been barred from drilling until an investigation is complete and necessary changes made. | <urn:uuid:d7341ed0-8375-4f5f-82e4-c900a26346a0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://wvsoro.org/news/2010/06_08.html | 2024-04-14T22:44:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.978716 | 1,281 |

THUD – “That’s going to be expensive” I said to myself whilst caressing the new indentation on the Leica MP’s housing; the body now so disfigured it was rejected by its own baseplate. After an initial quotation of twelve hundred gold coins and a two/three month lead time, I was very thankful of the insurance policy I had taken out a few months before, especially as I doubt my kidneys would fetch that much on eBay… not when you add in selling fees, postage and PayPal costs, at least!
I needed a new camera for my commercial work – predominantly for portfolio updates, portraits and editorial submissions. I love rangefinders but being strapped for cash after having to pay the repairs costs in advance, anything considered as “camera porn” was definitely off the list – besides the Leica was coming back sometime this century, all being well.
After copious amounts of tea I decided on an SLR. I really wanted another Nikon FM2n – a camera I regretfully sold a few years back – or perhaps a new Canon F1 – but my eyesight has rebelled against me in recent years. I had to procure a diopter for the Leica after a couple of years of focusing with my left eye, and the availability of these for the aforementioned looked harder to come by than a leprechauns pot of shiny stuff. Something with inbuilt dioptric adjustment was therefore preferable. After almost being seduced by a Contax RX, I decided on the Nikon F100 and purchased one for a grand total of £120, plus postage. It’s amazing what you can procure for a tenth of the cost of repairs to a disfigured Leica MP.
So how is the F100…? Well, to kick off, it’s got a lot of buttons; not necessarily laid out in an obvious way, but nothing I couldn’t fathom given enough time staring at in the way you need to for one of those Magic Eye pictures to come to life. I’m sure I’ll get used to it in time, and to be fair, it’s done me pretty darn well so far… just don’t ask me about the custom menu list.
Images herewith are of Marie Louise and Vinette, taken on my first two shoots with the F100 as my primary camera.

What is plastic mold?
Plastic mold, also known as injection mold or injection tool, is a tool for producing plastic parts through the process of injection molding. It is a crucial component in the production of plastic products and is widely used in various industries such as automotive, electronics, medical, and consumer goods. We’ll take a look at it from many aspects.
The History of Plastic Mold
The history of plastic mold can be traced back to the early 19th century when Alexander Parkes, an English inventor, created the first man-made plastic, called Parkesine. It was made from cellulose and camphor and could be molded into different shapes when heated. This laid the foundation for the development of plastic mold technology.
In the 1920s, the first injection molding machine was developed, and it revolutionized the plastic mold industry. It allowed for faster production and a more precise shaping of plastics. In the following decades, advancements in technology and materials led to the development of new and improved plastic molding techniques such as compression molding and blow molding.

What are the basics of plastic molding?
Plastic molding is a versatile manufacturing process that involves shaping plastic material into various forms and products. This method is commonly used in industries such as automotive, packaging, and electronics, to name a few. Here are the basics of plastic molding.
The process of plastic molding involves melting plastic material and injecting it into a mold. The melted plastic is forced into the mold cavity under high pressure and then cooled to solidify and take the shape of the mold. The mold is then opened, and the final product is ejected. This process can be repeated multiple times to create a large number of identical products.
There are several types of plastic molding techniques, including injection molding, blow molding, and rotational molding. Injection molding is the most commonly used method, where molten plastic is injected into a pre-designed mold. Blow molding is used to create hollow objects, while rotational molding is ideal for creating large, hollow products.
The type of plastic used in the molding process is crucial and can vary depending on the product’s desired properties. Commonly used plastics include acrylic, polyethylene, polystyrene, and polypropylene.
What is the difference between plastic casting and molding?
The main difference between molding and casting is the use of the material in the process. Casting will typically involve metal, while molding focuses on plastics. In both cases, the melted material goes into a die or mold to create the final form. | <urn:uuid:8ce404cf-33ef-4277-b2a3-3c76261926f2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.44mold.com/plastic-mold-comprehensive-guide/ | 2024-04-14T23:03:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.944295 | 2,241 |
A strong desire to travel among those who stayed home last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic has been driving holiday travel volume all year, and the end of the year holiday travel season is no exception.
Triple-A of Kansas does not expect concerns related to the omicron variant to significantly impact year-end travel, given that newly imposed travel restrictions apply only to international travel, not domestic, leisure travel.
AAA expects both the roads and the airports to be extremely busy from December 23rd through New Year’s, as they have been over most holiday weekends since the COVID-19 vaccines became widely available.
The national gas price average has been trending downward for the better part of a month now, but prices are still more than a dollar a gallon above last year’s price.
Even though the price at the pump has generally been the highest since 2014, AAA is not anticipating that higher gas prices will impact holiday travel. | <urn:uuid:b32de525-887f-4eb4-bcc9-422a56a33799> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.580wibw.com/holiday-travel-surging/ | 2024-04-14T23:17:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.966084 | 196 |

Bresnik and Crewmates Return Safe To Earth From ISS
Landing in Kazakhstan after opening a new chapter in the scientific capability of humanity’s premier microgravity laboratory, three crew members who have been living and working aboard the International Space Station returned to Earth on Thursday.
NASA confirms that “Expedition 53 Commander Randy Bresnik of NASA and Flight Engineers Paolo Nespoli of ESA (European Space Agency) and Sergey Ryazanskiy of Roscosmos landed at 3:37 a.m. EST (2:37 p.m. Kazakhstan time) southeast of the remote town of Dzhezkazgan in Kazakhstan.”
Investigations of microgravity’s effect on the antibiotic resistance of E. coli, growing larger versions of an important protein implicated in Parkinson’s disease; and delivering a new instrument to address fundamental science questions on the origins and history of cosmic rays. These were the highlights of the their mission.
They had contributed to biology experiments, biotechnology and other psyhics experiments. The trio also welcomed three cargo spacecraft delivering several tons of supplies and research experiments. Orbital ATK’s Cygnus spacecraft arrived at station in November as the company’s eighth commercial resupply mission.
One Russian ISS Progress cargo craft docked to the station in October. And a SpaceX Dragon completed its commercial resupply mission to station in August, the company’s twelfth resupply mission.
Fortuanetly, Expedition 54 crew is still on the station, with Alexander Misurkin of Roscosmos in command. Along with crewmates Mark Vende Hei and Joe Acaba of NASA, the three-person crew will operate the station until the arrival of three new crew members on Tuesday, Dec. 19. | <urn:uuid:5248ab27-950e-491f-883c-b4485e8d0af1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.absolute-knowledge.com/astronaut-bresnik-and-crewmates-return-to-earth-from-space-station/ | 2024-04-15T00:23:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.921205 | 370 |
Mischief Charges Defence Lawyer, Toronto
Toronto criminal lawyers routinely defend mischief charges for clients throughout the GTA. Many people are unaware of how easy it is to be charged with mischief charge until it is too late. Mischief charges are a frequently result of 911 calls during domestic disputes.Definition of Criminal Mischief in Canada
Mischief is the criminal offense of property damage. The Criminal Code of Canada defines the mischief in section 430 to include instances where the accused does any of the following to property that they do not solely own:
(1) destroys or alters property;
(2) renders property dangerous, useless, inoperative or ineffective;
(3) obstructs, interrupts or interferes with the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property; or
(4) obstructs, interrupts or interferes with any person in the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property.
Mischief is one of the most common offences in Canada. There is a distinction between mischief that causes damage above and below $5,000. If the damage cause is found to be beyond $5,000, the accused can be sentenced up to 10 years in prison. The maximum sentence for mischief under $5,000 is two years in prison.
Defending Mischief charges in court
Defending Mischief charges is one of Mark Zinck's primary areas of practice. For our specific site dedicated to defending individuals in Toronto charged with mischief, please see www.torontomischieflawyer.caThere are several defences available to those charged with mischief offences. Below are some of the most common.
Defence of Identity
In many cases, people are charged with mischief simply because it is reported to the police that "they did it".The police will then attempt to secure a statement of admission from the accused that they did it, or that they were in the area at the time of the offence, or that they have issues with the property owner, to bolster the case against them.
If the accused is smart, and does not speak to the police, they may have a defence of identity in that it cannot be proved they actually caused the damage. The defence of identity will thus depend on whether there are any eye witnesses or statements by the accused to the police.
Domestic mischief, jointly owned property
In a domestic context, many accused will admit to damaging property that is owned jointly by the couple (marital property).Perhaps he was angry and put his fist through the wall of the matrimonial home, or smashed some dinnerware or electronics in the house. When the police show up on the door and he tells them he did this, they will charge him with mischief. Mischief is a very common form of domestic charges.
Most accused are unaware that telling this story to the police will result in charges. Further, since they have admitted to the act, the charges become become very difficult to defend (many accused are left having to argue for a discharge in court). Most people are unaware how easy it is to be charged with mischief until it is too late. One call to the police in these circumstances can change a person's life forever.
Property ownership mischief defence
If it can be proven that the damaged property was owned solely by the accused, this is a valid defence to mischief.It is not illegal to damage your own property. The problem arises so often in the domestic context because the property is arguably owned by both parties.
Lawyers can successful defend mischief charges by introducing evidence showing the defendant to be the sole owner of the property. This can include deeds in only their name, bills of sale, and testimony stating sole ownership (from the accused, the accuser, or third parties). Sometimes the crown will agree to drop the charges if presented with this evidence prior to trial.
If married, is all property jointly owned?
It may be possible to get the court to accept that there is a legal distinction for property that a spouse has a possible claim to because of marriage, and joint ownership. While your wife may have a claim to 50% equity in the matrimonial home in the event of a divorce, it may not legally be considered jointly owned at the time of the dispute.
There is an arguable legal distinction that may support a finding of not guilty. It is notable that such a distinction is relevant in civil cases. For example, creditors can't register claims against a home held solely in the name of a spouse of a debtor.
Mistaken belief in ownership defence
If the accused truly believed that they were the sole owner of the property that was damaged, this may work to support an acquittal for mischief. Mistaken belief of ownership is thus a possible defence.You will need to provide the judge with clear reasons as to why you believed you were the sole owner of the property.
For example, you smash the windows of a car your boyfriend has given you, and are charged with mischief as a result. You could argue that even though the car was still registered in your boyfriend's name you believed it was your property. In this example, there is also a second, more technical defence that the ownership was transferred despite the lack of title being registered (this is a question of civil property law).
Penalty for Mischief conviction
The penalty for mischief will largely depend on your criminal history, whether it is the only thing you've been charged with, and the specifics of the case.Most people convicted of mischief will receive probation and have to pay restitution for the amount of damage (if they have financial means).
If there is no criminal record, they may also be granted a discharge allowing them to avoid a criminal record. Sometimes the crown will agree not to prosecute the matter if the facts are minor and restitution has been paid (particularly in instances of jointly owned property and/or with the victim's consent).

Three Adelphi professors are completing a translation of 17th Century French text "An Analysis of the Infinitely Small."
Adelphi’s Robert Bradley, Ph.D., and Salvatore Petrilli, Ph.D., translated the revered calculus textbook, A’ Lanalyse des inifiniment petits. |
The first book to explain and teach calculus was written in French and published in 1696. Now, 317 years later, three professor have revisited history and are on the cusp of completing the first faithful translation of Analyse des infiniment petits, or An Analysis of the Infinitely Small.
The history behind this piece of scholarly literature is immense. To embark on such a literary trek to understand the book’s creation, one would need to understand French, German and Latin, not to mention complex mathematics.
Enter Adelphi’s Robert Bradley, Ph.D., Salvatore Petrilli, Ed.D., both of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, and C. Edward Sandifer, Ph.D., professor emeritus at Western Connecticut University. Alongside the approximate 180-page first edition of An Analysis of the Infinitely Small, Drs. Bradley, Petrilli and Sandifer will include the 30-page translated Latin text that is the basis for the first four chapters of the published book and about 50 pages of translated German excerpts that are the basis for some of the chapters of the book.
“We hope and believe this will be of great use, not only to academic professors like us,” Dr. Bradley said. “Master’s to [post] graduate students studying the history of mathematics, who understand calculus from a modern point of view and want to see how calculus was done at its inception, will find use here too. It was very different.” He noted that knitting together the Latin and German texts to the original book had never been done before. This edition will enable easy cross-referencing and be of great use to serious scholars.
The translation’s significance lies heavily in its historical value. “It’s important not for mainstream scientific reasons but for a mathematics history of ideas,” Dr. Bradley said, adding that the discovery and refinement of calculus has been one of the great stories of western civilization. He explained that it was only through the publication and understanding of calculus that this mathematical study would soon be applied toward solving problems in physics.
“This is when calculus becomes this practical and important tool…if you can figure out physics, then you can understand the real world. That’s why this is a subtext for the whole scientific revolution,” he said. Dr. Bradley also noted that one reason physicists Galileo and Sir Isaac Newton became great was their healthy understanding of calculus.
Tackling such an involved project, that has its beginnings in July 2009 and got its feet late in 2010, has been no easy task. One issue within the translation process that Dr. Petrilli and Dr. Bradley marked as slightly tedious was translating phrases from the 1600s, that aren’t in use today.
Many discussions were had among the team on whether or not some paragraphs needed to be broken apart. Some of the sentences go on for half a page, sometimes three-quarters of a page and you get lost in the translation. You have to know when to stop,” Dr. Petrilli said. “Usually we’ll let a long sentence stand because there’s no good alternative,” Dr. Bradley said, laughing.
The book is still in progress, but is targeted for completion within the next few months. | <urn:uuid:43ced5fa-6d00-4829-b24a-fea0511bc4fc> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.adelphi.edu/news/understanding-calculus/ | 2024-04-15T00:28:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.958573 | 764 |

The National Award winning actress, Pallavi Joshi not only aces the best of characters in films and television shows but also has a penchant for so many other things. Travelling being one of her greatest indulgences, she shares some intriguing stories that will inspire you to travel.
Here's a look back at Pallavi's enriching travel experiences. Take a quick read to the exclusive chat.
: What is travelling for you?
Travelling is a great way to connect with our inner self. You get so much quality time for yourself when you are nesting away at quaint places. There is so much to unwind and gather in the blissful moments when you disconnect from the cacophony of city life. Travelling helps us to grow as an individual in so many different ways. I feel that we travel in order to spruce up our life, to make it more enriching and meaningful.
We learn, we embrace, we adapt. I think travelling is one of the greatest indulgences that certainly adds more value to life.
: Any childhood memory that gives you nostalgia?
As a child, I really did not travel much apart from frequent breaks in Pune, Delhi and Indore where we had our relatives. Back in those days, holidays were meant to catch up with relatives and family. It was a kind of ritual as both my parents come from big joint families. Either we used to go to our hometown, Indore or they used to drop by in Mumbai. So my childhood memories are basically all about emotional bondings and all, more about family staying together.
For me travelling actually began when I started working for films. That was when I actually travelled alone and my parents didn't escort me. It was great to be out in the world all by myself making travel memories that I carry along.
There is this vivid memory of Surajkund when I was shooting for a Doordarshan show in Delhi. The schedule was really tight but one fine day there was slightly less work and Doordarshan was also closed. So my Massi and her husband took me for a picnic to Surajkund which was on the outskirts of the city. I was so enthralled by the beauty and surreal vibe that when by evening everyone wanted to go back home, I was actually keen to stay back at some hotel nearby only to savor the serenity. It was that ethereal.
: You're a Mumbaikar. What is your version of the city?
I love Mumbai. Infact my husband keeps telling me that one day he'll just leave the city and settle in Manali to pursue his passion for paintings. But I told Vivek already that I am not gonna leave Bombay because I feel so connected here. There is a sense of belongingness that probably no other place can give me. I love the vibrancy here and the best thing about the city is cultural inclusivity.
People of Bombay are so embracive and chilled out. Anybody from any community can settle here and make it their home.
: What keeps you connected to India?
I think it's the people of India. I have almost travelled the length and breadth of India while I was working on a show called Bharat Ki Baat. Apart from discovering fascinating places, what really caught my fancy during the show was experiencing the remarkable hospitality by the natives of Bihar - Nalanda to be precise, Northeast, Hampi etc. In fact, you can find warm hearted folks in every nook and cranny of India and their humble gestures leave a lasting impression. I believe, Indian people truly stand by Atithi Devo Bhava, we definitely hold the strong ethos of greeting the guests and making them feel special. There are so many incidents of meeting lovely people who did things out of the blue that touched my heart.
Extending warmth is the essence of Indian culture which probably makes us the best host in the world.
: Which part of the country you think is worth exploring and why?
I would say the entire country. The South is immensely beautiful and so is the North East. Places like Manali and Kashmir are just under heaven. Tourism in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and the coast of Maharashtra has so much to offer. My heart goes out to the untouched beauty of the Northeast region where I saw phenomenal development in infrastructure which probably made way for more tourists. It's way more accessible now than it used to be some two decades ago when I first touched base with this spellbinding region.
When I recently visited Meghalaya, the drive from Shillong to Guwahati was merely three hours and the roads were incredible. Meghalaya is one of the most scenic places in India which has beauty akin to Scotland. It's verdant and perpetually pleasant. There is this beautiful Walking Lake close to the Bangladesh border where you can actually see the bottom as the water of the lake is crystal clear. Boating over the pristine lake was a wonderful experience.
Then there's this Loktak lake in Manipur which is surreal. It is the largest freshwater lake in North East India and is famous for the phumdis floating over it. States like Tripura and Mizoram are unexplored and worth witnessing for its virgin beauty. People are wonderful and you can expect great hospitality.
There's no dearth of beautiful places in India and trust me, every place has something unique to offer. Just travel to collect as many unique experiences in India.
: Any unique festival in India that you have attended or is on your bucket list?
I want to see Kalaripayattu -one of the oldest fighting systems which is displayed during Onam in Kerala. Then there is Jallikattu -the bull taming displayed during Pongal in Tamil Nadu. So these two are definitely on my bucket list as I want to see the live performances of both these traditional art forms of India.
: Three travel essentials?
Me, me and me, that's it. I don't need anything else.
: Describe India in one word.
: Which actor would you like to travel with?
I don't want to travel with any actor. In fact I like to travel solo.
: What will you drop if your baggage exceeds?
Books maybe or a few clothes.
: Your favourite beach destination in India?
: Your favourite dish from Indian menu?
I love street food in Mumbai. I can survive on it for years.
: Your favourite piece of Indian handicraft?
Khadi stuff. My office and home is full of handcrafted stuff and artifacts that I keep collecting from places I travel.
: One place from where you felt nothing is far?
: Your favourite shopping destination?
: Your favourite weekend getaway?
: A place in India where you feel spiritually connected?

KABUL: While the delegations of the Afghan government and the Taliban are engaged in intra-Afghan negotiations, extreme violence has been taking massive toll on Afghan people, killing and wounding hundreds of people across the country. Both the Taliban and government forces suffer casualties – both are Afghans – and that is the reality of war in a war weary country. This high level of violence brought many watchdogs organizations to the state of worry. The Amnesty International called on the international community to give a serious attention to the situation in Afghanistan. It also termed the October as deadliest month of the year for Afghans. Based on the Amnesty International, at least 180 civilians were killed and 370 others maimed in the ongoing violence. Unfortunately, the casualties on civilians were inflicted both by Afghan security forces and the Taliban. After the negotiation teams of the government and Taliban failed to reach a solution to a couple of controversial issues of the intra-Afghan negotiations, the militants begun offensive and print a horror scene of itself across the country.
The insurgents set attacks on the security checkpoints in southern Helmand province in early of this month, in which according to Afghan officials, more than 80 Taliban were killed and dozens of others wounded. But what the clashes left behind was the displacement of nearly 5,000 families in the province. Furthermore, in an airstrike conducted by the Afghan security forces on a seminary in Qaraloq district of northern Takhar province, at least 12 teenagers were killed and 18 others wounded.
The ongoing violence not only takes the lives of our people but give a doubtful image to the Afghan peace process. It is really ridicules that we have high level of violence and fragile peace negotiations all in parallel to each other. What war and violence bring us is tragedy – and that is a simple fact. In the meantime, there are many complicated questions and worries in our people’s minds; many doubts that what if the ongoing peace negotiations not succeeded and the militants stay on their relentless stance, what if the US withdraws before the government and Taliban forge a peace deal or a power sharing agreement, what if the current status keeps going for years and so…
The best for our country could be to not let the peace talks fail but off course with the perseverance of some achievements gained during 19 years. And that is possible when we are together united and make a proper policy to take advantage of such chances and rescue our country from extreme misery. | <urn:uuid:ae73864f-50d3-492f-affd-b06de34c4542> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.afghanistantimes.af/as-peace-talks-flounder-violence-fills-the-void/ | 2024-04-14T23:24:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.961984 | 500 |
Will Ethiopia become "the China of Africa"? The question often comes up in an economic context: Ethiopia's growth rate is expected to be 8.5 per cent this year, topping China's projected 6.5 percent. Over the past decade, Ethiopia has averaged about 10 per cent growth.
Behind those flashy numbers, however, is an undervalued common feature: Both countries feel secure about their pasts and have a definite vision for their futures. Both countries believe that they are destined to be great.
Consider China first. The nation-state, as we know it today, has existed for several thousand years with some form of basic continuity. Most Chinese identify with the historical kingdoms and dynasties they study in school, and the tomb of Confucius in Qufu is a leading tourist attraction. Visitors go there to pay homage to a founder of the China they know.
This early history meant China was well-positioned to quickly build a modern and effective nation-state, once the introduction of post-Mao reforms boosted gross domestic product. That led to rapid gains in infrastructure and education, and paved the way for China to become one of the world's two biggest economies. Along the way, the Chinese held to a strong vision that it deserved to be a great nation once again.
My visit to Ethiopia keeps reminding me of this basic picture. Ethiopia also had a relatively mature nation-state quite early, with the Aksumite Kingdom dating from the first century AD. Subsequent regimes, through medieval times and beyond, exercised a fair amount of power. Most important, today's Ethiopians see their country as a direct extension of these earlier political units. Some influential Ethiopians will claim to trace their lineage all the way to King Solomon of biblical times.
In other words, the process of organised, national-level governance has been under way for a long time. It was this relative strength of Ethiopian governance that allowed the territory to fend off colonialism, a rare achievement. It is also why, when you travel around the country, a lot of the basic cuisine doesn't change much: Dishes are seen as national and not regional.
It is thus no surprise that once Ethiopia abandoned its 1970s communist ideology and put some basic reforms into place, its government was able to rise to the occasion. The infrastructure is remarkably good by regional standards, and the Ethiopian government is known for conducting a relatively successful industrial policy. The state-owned Ethiopian Airlines is run as a responsible business, it is becoming a major air power, and standards of service are high.
Chinese are helping build the place up
The Ethiopians I have interacted with express a remarkable degree of enthusiasm for their country and culture. Maybe that isn't unusual in a rapidly growing nation, but I've been struck by how historically rooted these sentiments have been. Ethiopians are acutely aware of their past successes, including their role in biblical history. Like many Iranians, they think of themselves as a civilisation and not just a country. They very self-consciously separate themselves from the broader strands of African history and culture. And, as in China, they hold an ideological belief that their country is destined to be great again.
China and Ethiopia intersect in yet another way, with the Chinese helping to build the place up. There are new and modern apartment buildings scattered around Addis Ababa, built by the Chinese, a light rail system in Addis that would look nice in any country, impressive dams for hydroelectric power, and a high-speed rail connection to Djibouti and the coast.
The pride of Ethiopians in their history and freedom from colonialism may help explain why the nation has accepted so much Chinese infrastructure involvement with little evidence of the angst that has plagued some other parts of Africa. The intuitive background assumption in Ethiopia is that foreigners may try to interfere, but the government won't lose control. There are prominent statues in Addis Ababa celebrating how the Ethiopians drove out both the Italians and the British.
Just to be clear, Ethiopia is hardly a finished nation-state. There are festering disputes with Eritrea to the north, a place many Ethiopians strongly feel belongs to them. The southern and more tribal parts of the country are not always well integrated into the major commercial centres ruled by the highlanders, and there are clashes with the Oromia and Somali regions to the east. For those reasons, the national optimisms found in the better developed parts of the country are not found everywhere.
That said, if you are looking for a special place in Africa, Ethiopia may be your best bet. But to understand its recent success, you have to go beyond policy - it is also a matter of their history, their confidence and, above all, their ideas.

Distilled with 6 kinds of botanicals from Hiroshima and 6 kinds of imported botanicals for SAKURAO GIN HAMAGOU. Hamagou is the main character of this gin and it grows naturally at the seaside of Miyajima island, a world heritage site located near SAKURAO DISTILLERY. And we've selected Juniper berries from France which has a gorgeous top note that adds the strong gin flavor.
Two methods are used, steeping method and vapor method. Botanicals are selected in two groups and deepen with the steeping method or vapor method separately. By the favorable way, aromas of botanicals could be fully extracted.
It has selected Hamagou from Miyajima and blended it with other botanicals. The main character is the refreshing herbal fragrance of Hamagou. Enjoy a refreshing and rich fragrance. | <urn:uuid:a5297e34-4416-4e9d-9346-e04a2065999a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.aft-liquor.com/products/sakurao-gin-hamagou-2020 | 2024-04-14T22:52:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.926693 | 180 |
July 2023 - The Agenda for Children OST, with support from Louis Costa de Beauregard, a summer intern from the Kennedy School of Government, started mapping out the current state of the OST ecosystem, gathering data and doing some preliminary analysis. Initial discussions with key stakeholders in the OST community focused on identifying the main causes contributing to the lack of access today and generating ideas to equitably solve these problems going forward.
April 3, 2023 - Cambridge City Council Meeting, the Council unanimously passed Policy Order and Resolution POR 2023 #59 "to develop a three-year plan to expand and improve After School Care for Cambridge children." In 2024 and beyond, DHSP committed to continue to work with The Agenda for Children OST to map out a process to examine continued OST expansion opportunities across Cambridge.
February 28, 2023 - The Human Services and Veterans Committee of the City Council held a public meeting to discuss the status of after school programming in Cambridge.
Assistant City Manager, Human Services Ellen Semonoff, and Michelle Farnum, Assistant Director of Children Youth and Familiespresented plans to expand the number of available slots for children in Cambridge After School Programs. They planned to add 170 seats in some of its existing DHSP programs for the Fall 2023. If you are interested in more detailed information about the city's plans to expand programs and staffing, please review the slides, click here. The video is available here.
Both Michelle and Ellen repeatedly stated that the city must collaborate with non-profits and school-run programs in order to meet the needs of families for out of school time care and enrichment. Over the past few years AFCOST has managed City resources from the Department of Human Service Programs and Cambridge Public Schools for school age childcare scholarships to non-profit organizations serving low-income families. DHSP and CPS committed to continue to provide those resources next fiscal year. | <urn:uuid:caf5003b-b3bd-4ef3-ad43-5063791c6729> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.agendaforchildrenost.org/ostexpansion-updates.html | 2024-04-14T23:43:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.928169 | 384 |

Yes, learning how to pack light for a cruise and have everything you need is not only possible, but it’s easy even in today’s changed world. We have done it successfully multiple times. The trick is knowing the cruise essentials, including what to bring on a cruise and sticking to a packing light checklist.
It’s true that one of the advantages of cruising is unpacking only once while exploring several destinations. However, you must still lug your belongings to the airport, the cruise terminal, and back home.
Plus, we nearly always tack on days before and after our cruise. Learning how to pack light is a game-changer. It makes for less hassle everywhere we go.
First, be inspired …
How to Pack light for a Cruise without missing any of the cruise essentials
Dressing for dinners
The dining room dress code is one area that is different on a cruise ship than on other travel. With no shorts, tank tops, swimwear, or sometimes even jeans allowed, and several days often labelled either “smart casual” or “formal,” cruisers need to be prepared.
- Dinnerwear for women: I bring a “little black dress.” For me, it is one of the key pieces of my packing light for a cruise wardrobe. To alter my style, I bring a scarf, black cotton blazer, light-coloured cardigan, and costume jewellery – each completely changing the look, thus appearing as several cruise dresses. It can be worn to multiple dinners without appearing as if I have worn the same thing.
- Dinnerwear for men: Jeff’s dinnertime cruise clothing includes two button-down shirts (one collarless), a solid tie, and a casual dinner jacket. All pieces are interchangeable, creating more looks than pieces of clothing.
Dressing for every day and at port:
Another greaet tip for how to pack light for a cruise is to pick a colour theme and mix and match everything you wear.
- Five to six casual shirts that can layer including 2-3 tanks, 2-3 short sleeve shirts, and one with long sleeves
- Four pants: Men: two long, two short, Women: one long, one mid-calf or skirt, two shorts
- One cardigan (women) or fleece (men) – modern ships are air-conditioned and can get chilly
- One sun hat
- Three pairs of shoes per person is all we need: Everyday walking shoes, sandals for pool or beach, and semi-dressy/go-anywhere shoes for dinner
- A breathable rain jacket or rain poncho
- A seven-day supply of socks and undergarments
- Swimwear (you can bring a cover-up or wear the bathrobe provided in your stateroom)
Accessories and other non-clothing cruise must-haves
- Fashion accessories: Jewellery (unless you plan to buy it in port), scarves, a belt, and a Fitbit.
- A first aid kit including seasickness pills that I have never needed while cruising, but having them gives me peace of mind. While I always travel with a fully stocked first-aid kit, it’s not necessary on a cruise as there is a general store and a doctor (expensive) onboard. Our overstocked first aid kit contains the following: sunscreen, insect repellent, motion sickness tablets, paracetamol, ibuprofen, Imodium, sore throat lozenges, antibiotics, band-aids, first aid ointment, and hydrocortisone cream.
- Camera, street lens, extra battery, battery charger, camera raincoat, flash, tripod, extra SD cards
- Sunglasses and glasses (spare pair). If you wear glasses full-time, don’t forget to check out clip-on sunglass options (my daughter loves hers!)
- Cosmetics and toiletries
- Electronics including camera (I shoot with an Olympus OMD Em5), tripod, phone, laptop, Kindle, and/or iPad, backup drive, USB stick, and smartphone with charging cable. **Be sure to check with the cruise line as to the outlets and voltages on the ship and bring electrical converters as necessary.
- Documentation – passports, immunisation cards, insurance cards, tickets, credit cards, pen, paper, and a highlighter (you will not regret bringing this on a cruise).
Extra items to add based on current world conditions
- Portable hand sanitiser – while there will be plenty around the ship, sometimes you might want your own.
- Masks – as they may be required at times, or you just might feel more comfortable.
- Books, electronic books, a deck of cards, or other self-contained entertainment – hopefully, these will all stay in your suitcase, but after the past few years, it’s better to be prepared than bored should you end up with an extended stay in your cabin.
How to pack light for a cruise – pulling it all together
My top tip for success is packing cubes. If you don’t know what they are, take a look at this video and then read on.
How to use packing cubes
Our final travel packing tip is to use packing cubes. I know it’s not much of a secret, but packing cubes keep everything tidy and reduce the space needed for packing. They allow us to keep organized and find what we need quickly.
If you have never tried them, I highly recommend them. On a 16-day cruise around the top of Australia, we arrived at the airport with a total of 22kg of luggage for two people. This included camera gear with a tripod, two laptop computers, and backup discs.
Thanks to packing cubes, it all worked out well. (We love the ebags packing cubes!)
What you need for success
- Packing cubes – for two people, we take six cubes: two each of small, medium, and large. (We use five cubes when travelling without a cruise.)
- Toiletry kit – one per person, unless you like to share (we don’t).
- Emergency kit – pack your own or get this one.
- Lightweight digital luggage scale.
- Cruise Packing Light List from Albom Adventures (download below).
How to pack a couple’s cruise essentials into packing cubes
Still want more details on how to pack light for a cruise? Here’s how we do it:
- Small Cube #1: Pack one small cube for your emergency and first aid kit.
- Small Cube #2: Pack the second small cube with the electronics chargers, backup disks, flashlight, highlighters, and any other small accessories.
- Medium Cube #1: Pack one medium cube with sleepwear and undergarments for both travel partners.
- Medium Cube #2: Pack all formal wear in one medium cube that doesn’t need to get opened or disturbed until formal night. This is very helpful if you have a land package attached to the cruise.
- Large cubes: Each family member should have one large cube for all of their remaining clothing items except the rain jackets.
- A separate toiletry kit for each of us.
- Rain jackets are rolled and packed for easy access.

A few photos of our interchangeable cruise outfits:
- With white capri pants and a black tank top, I could simply add a layer when I got the opportunity to go on the bridge and sit in the captain’s chair.
- Versatile swimwear looks like clothing when worn around town (or on the ship). Perfect for tropical ports like Aruba.
- On a rainy day in Bali, we were glad to have raincoats. This is Jeff watching a monkey that is about to swing right in front of him at the Mandala Suci Wenara Wana Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary in Ubud.
- Ports are weather dependent, although I tend to be in shorts, while Jeff prefers travel pants usually. Notice the layers on me and the neutral colours on him. Plus, sun hats, as this photo is in Cartegena, Colombia.

Over the past few months, I’ve been hard at work to define how people can master very difficult conflicts. It’s for a book proposal that I’m writing. While I’ve been teaching these ideas at Columbia for close to a decade and coaching dozens of clients using this approach for just as long, writing out the ideas in book form has been an exciting new challenge all its own. Here is my first public attempt to explain in writing what I’ve been teaching and coaching all along.
Conflict Mastery involves a profound shift of perspective about how to deal with difficult conflicts. It enables you to stop trying so hard to solve conflict, and become open to the possibility that shifting your perspective is all you really need to do in order to become conflict-free. The Conflict Mastery approach empowers us by showing us how to change the things we can — including our own perceptions of the causes of the conflict, and our own behavior going forward — rather than continuing to hit our heads against a wall, trying to change the things we can’t, like the deeply held views of other people. It helps us understand and sort out our own emotions and strongly held values. It involves an open-minded, creative envisioning of new optimal outcomes, and the courage to take action toward them. It requires us to stop fantasizing about what might have been or what could be, and start making real choices to create the future the way we want it to be. The Conflict Mastery approach provides a powerful yet simple set of practices for living at your highest potential and becoming conflict-free. It has allowed my clients and students to break through the logjam of difficult conflicts in all walks of life, from work situations with colleagues to issues with neighbors and community groups; from international disputes to the most intimate of family relationships.
I’ve also started speaking to audiences about these ideas. I invite you to stay connected and join us on an ongoing inquiry into Conflict Mastery, so that you too can live at your highest potential and become conflict-free. | <urn:uuid:fe5ee9f1-da1c-4bdc-b050-84335acc97c0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.alignmentstrategiesgroup.com/mastering-difficult-conflict/ | 2024-04-14T23:09:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.962221 | 455 |
A pilot disoriented by a sudden change in weather conditions crashed the helicopter carrying India’s defence chief General Bipin Rawat last month, killing all 14 people on board, an official inquiry found.
The 63-year-old Rawat was travelling with his wife and other senior officers in the Russian-made Mi-17V5 chopper, which crashed near its destination in southern Tamil Nadu state on December 8.
list of 3 items“The court of inquiry has ruled out mechanical failure, sabotage or negligence as a cause of the accident,” India’s defence ministry said in a statement on Friday.
The ministry said that the investigation team analysed the flight data recorder, cockpit voice recorder and questioned witnesses to come up with its preliminary report.
“The accident was a result of entry into clouds due to unexpected change in weather conditions in the valley,” the statement said. “This led to spatial disorientation of the pilot resulting in Controlled Flight into Terrain.”
A day after the accident, India’s defence minister said the helicopter lost contact with air traffic control seven minutes before it was supposed to land and did not send a distress call before it was found in flames in a forested area.
Rawat was India’s first chief of defence staff, a position that the government established in 2019, and was seen as close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
His death was the subject of wall-to-wall coverage in Indian media, and his flag-wrapped coffin was towed through the streets of New Delhi on a gun carriage draped with flower garlands before he was cremated.
He and his wife were cremated together on the same pyre, with a 17-gun salute fired as their daughters set it alight.
Rawat was an outspoken and polarising, but hugely popular, officer who came from a military family and had already survived a helicopter accident in 2015, with minor injuries.
The general was headed to the Defence Services Staff College to address students and faculty when the Mi-17 chopper crashed in foggy conditions. | <urn:uuid:2f6e1f25-e6a1-4cd9-a969-0463fe234959> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/1/14/india-defence-chiefs-pilot-disoriented-by-weather-inquiry | 2024-04-14T23:02:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.981914 | 432 |
Unlocking Prosperity: Why Credit Unions and Banks Should Embrace Investing for Their Account Holders
Credit unions have existed in North America since 1901 when Alphonse Desjardins founded the first, “Caisse Populaire de Lévis” in Quebec, Canada. Alphonse sought to serve the financial needs of ordinary people, particularly those with limited access to traditional banking services.
Today, credit unions continue to exist to serve their members’ financial needs in a cooperative and mutually beneficial manner. 4,645 federally insured credit unions collectively serve a growing member base of 138.8M Americans, servicing loans of $1.59 trillion and managing total assets of $2.23 trillion (source: NCUA Credit Union System Performance Data: 2023 Q3).
The last 20 years have seen radical changes in how ordinary people manage their money through technology and the emergence of a new class of competition across all money in general – fintech startups. These changes have brought about greater access for consumers, and fiercer competition for financial institutions than ever before. Not just in banking, but in all aspects of financial life. One of the most powerful of these changes has been the ability to reduce the barriers and costs for ordinary people to invest.
Investing has been around for substantially longer than credit unions. One of the earliest publicly traded companies is often considered to be The Dutch East India Company, founded in 1602. However, investing until recently has been the sole preserve of the rich and powerful. It has served them very well indeed as a means to maintain and grow their money with the stock market delivering average returns of over 10% for the last 100 years.
This changed forever on April 18, 2013, with the founding of Robinhood, a fintech platform that made investing accessible to the mass market through the combined impact of the internet, smartphones, fractional investing, and zero fees. Now, consumers did not need to be rich to invest, they just needed a few dollars to participate. These changes catalyzed a tremendous shift in mass-market retail investing.
Investing today is a shockingly different phenomenon than even a few years ago. Consider a few key statistics:
- The share of American families investing in the stock market rose to a record high 58% in 2022.
- Direct ownership of stocks saw the largest change on record, jumping to 21% of families in 2022 from 15% in 2019.
- Retail investors now account for approximately 52% of global assets under management.
- Retail investors account for nearly 20% of stock market activity in the United States.
- Every day, retail investors poured $1.51 billion into U.S. stocks.
- About 15% of retail investors started in 2020.
- 95% of retail investors live outside of major financial centers and earn average wages.
- There is a record $5.84 trillion parked in money market funds as of November 29, according to Investment Company Institute data. About $2.25 trillion of that cash is in retail money market funds.

The Precedent Megabanks & Fintechs Have Set for Retail Investing
To support the lives of their consumers, how should banks and credit unions adapt to the new reality of the financial lives of everyday Americans? Can they step in and play a role in helping more people benefit from a long-term holistic wealth management journey incorporating both their traditional banking needs and investments?
Big brand banks and traditional investment companies already did this – from Fidelity and Schwab to Chase and Citi, they all offer both complementary digital wealth management and online banking platforms. Fintechs also did the same – Robinhood and Wealthfront offer banking as a core part of their platform. Cash App, Revolut, and Chime launched investing to complement their existing services. However, banks and credit unions by and large have not.
Part of the reason for this is cost. With technology budgets in the billions, big brand banks can afford to custom build their own investment platforms.
Strengthening Relationships with Wealth Management in the Online Banking Platform
Unifimoney recognized that for financial institutions to deliver on the promise of financial wellness for their account holders, they had to extend traditional banking to offer investing and access to personal finance content and education. This had to be accessible to all financial institutions regardless of size, at a low cost to deploy, and without the need for intensive technical development and operating overheads.
That’s exactly what Unifimoney has done in our partnership with Centsai, a leading financial education company, and Alkami. Enabling Alkami clients to offer a comprehensive digital wealth management solution within Alkami’s online banking platform.
We believe in empowering trusted financial institutions with a powerful combination of a digital wealth management platform and compelling educational content to help all Americans achieve better financial outcomes regardless of their age, affluence level, or investment experience.
We are proud to be an Elite Partner of Alkami. Unifimoney is majority owned by Palm Ventures, a Family Office backed investment company.

Masteron propionate for bulking
Masteron propionate is the shorter-acting of the two drugs, and it can begin producing noticeable fat-loss and muscle-hardening results within as little as a week, according to research published in the current issue of Cell Metabolism.The researchers, who included researchers from the University of Missouri, examined the effects of propionate-enriched food on body weight, appetite, hormonal function, and inflammation before, during and after 30 days of feeding, rohm labs testosterone.A group of 24 young and middle-aged men, all with low-percentage body fat but with at least one obese ancestor, received a three-month course of propionate, the drug of choice for weight control, test e and masteron cycle.During the first six-month period, propionate-enriched food contained up to 12% of calories from fat, so those who had been given propionate had roughly a one-to-two-pound loss on average, and those who were given a placebo had a 2.2-pound loss.During the final six-month period, the men who had received propionate lost about 1, masteron propionate cycle.7 pounds more than those who had received a placebo, and those who had received a placebo lost only about 1, masteron propionate cycle.3 pounds, masteron propionate cycle.And as for testosterone, the team found that the propionate-enriched food group lost nearly 7% more than those who were fed a no-ad libitum diet."We're showing for the first time that fat loss can occur over the long term using a diet that contains dietary fat," said study author Dr. John B. Prentice, an associate professor of anthropology from the University of Missouri."Now we hope a diet featuring low or no dietary fat can eventually be used as a long-term treatment for obesity in both people with and without metabolic syndrome and other serious risk factors," he added, rohm labs 2022 review.

The researchers have developed a dietary fat formula in which the fat content increases at an initial rate -- so that when participants consume food containing more than a quarter of daily calories, they're getting a fat-burning stimulus -- but the fat content goes down again in the following portion, according to Kavita Prakash, the project's leader and the assistant professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Missouri, masteron propionate cycle. | <urn:uuid:ffd97536-692e-49b2-a575-42414a5b2fcb> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.allaboutgardenscorp.com/forum/welcome-to-the-forum/rohm-labs-review-masteron-propionate-for-bulking | 2024-04-14T22:53:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.949591 | 1,106 |

Last week while in Florida, I spent a morning with Ocala farrier Scott Chandler as he shod a few horses headed to the Western Dressage Work Championship Show. He has a diverse footcare practice that will be featured in an upcoming issue of American Farriers Journal. He handles some show barns south in Wellington, and also north near Atlanta, Ga., but for the most part his practice is centralized to Ocala.
With nearly 1,200 horse farms in Ocala’s home county of Marion, the equine industry is big business. According to the Ocala/Marion County Chamber of Economic Partnership, the local horse industry generates $2.2 billion annually. These big numbers attract many folks looking for work, including farriers. There are plenty of opportunities, including massive Thoroughbred farms, successful sport horse operations, backyard accounts and Paso Finos.
But ample opportunity doesn’t guarantee success. Chandler finds that the attrition rate among farriers is high. The industry standard for the make-or-break year for new farriers is often by year 3, and Chandler says it is no different in Ocala. And the reasons for failure are no different from those elsewhere.
Of course poor business practices is one of those reasons. Chandler says among these, the most common business mistake farriers make is pricing services too low. In an area with plenty of work to go around, this results in the farrier working with more horses in a day to make up the income needed to match revenue goals. This can result in the negative impacts of fatigue, health problems and lack of attention for all of the horses worked later in the day.
Chandler’s advice counters the notion that more horses equals greater pay: slow down and focus on your work. “You spend enough time with each horse, addressing its particular needs,” he says. “The clients then recognize that you care about the work you do.”
He finds slowing down results in keeping those horses sound, fewer phone calls about problems and loyal clients. Chandler adds that this philosophy works in places like Ocala, which is rich in the number and types of mid- and high-end horses, so there are sufficient clients who appreciate quality work. It is simple advice, and there is a lot more that goes into this, especially the knowledge and ability that keeps those horses sound.
For the farrier who is chasing income through a higher number of horses each day, there is an incredible amount of faith required to adopt Chandler’s advice. The response of the first few clients can support that this was the best option or result in second-guessing. Chandler says you may lose a few clients early on, but stick with it. You’ll replace them with premium clients who learn of your reputation. And some of the previous clients will come back because the money they saved didn’t keep their horses sound. | <urn:uuid:7134cfff-0a9b-4eec-afd4-ad6617baabcf> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.americanfarriers.com/blogs/1-from-the-desk-of-afj/post/5438-improve-by-doing-fewer-horses | 2024-04-14T22:47:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.964648 | 605 |

Executive Director Report
By: Dr. Marketa Houskova DNP, MAIA, BA, RN
While many Holiday reports focus on the customary year-end summaries of work done, I would like us to look ahead instead to what is coming next. I couldn't be more excited for this organization to offer as many high-quality programs as we are in this next year.
We will kick off the New Year with our brand-new ANA\C Advocacy Mentorship program where we will welcome 50 mentees and 50 mentors. Over six weeks, MentorLead (formerly known as LifeMoxie) and our ANA\C Mentorship Advisory Workgroup designed and created this important member benefit. I would like to thank the workgroup members Trarina Jerome Harris, Gilanie De Castro, Dr. Charles 'Chuck' Griffis, Erin Pope, Janette Moreno, and Josh Wymer for their time, expertise, wisdom, and vision.
At the end of January 2022, we will host a webinar on Nursing & Policing by Dr. Danisha Jenkins. In light of nurses' presence at many protests in recent years - and their experiences with law enforcement - we are so excited to talk about this important topic. Dr. Jenkins will also return for a webinar on Nursing Moral Injury later in Spring 2022.
We're reviewing research data from two Racism in Nursing case studies we conducted during 2021. This will further our mission to combat racism in nursing and healthcare. We are hoping to follow this up with a warm welcome to Daniella Vargas from the National Commission of Racism in Nursing to talk about the fundamental aspect of policy change related to this topic.
In February 2022, another first for ANA\C, we will be hosting our inaugural Nurses in Media Day virtual event LIVE! We invited four nurses who are self-made media experts to give actionable insights on how to grow your presence and influence through digital and traditional media. Nursing voices are so crucial in all media - this is a must-attend event.
We will follow up the public event with an invite-only Nurses in Media Training with Barbara Glickstein in March 2022. This event will be an intensive media training and is designed for nurses who want to further their media presence.
On April 24, 2022, we will host our annual General Assembly at the Sheraton in downtown Sacramento, CA. We’ve had a contract with Sheraton since 2019, so we are all crossing our fingers for an in-person event. The very next day, Monday, April 25, 2022, we will be hosting our flagship and most successful event, RN Day at the Capitol! (Again, hoping for an in-person event.)
Moreover, we are also:
Hosting our inaugural class of Advocacy Institute Fellows virtually in March 2022 as they present their final policy project!
Working with our APRN coalition partners and brainstorming a California APRN Summit.
Putting together a panel discussion and are in talks about establishing a workgroup focused on veterans’ issues and their access to care. (Did you know California has the largest number of veterans in the U.S., beating Texas and Florida?)
Continuing to monitor 2022 legislation, regulations, and other policy change.
What an exciting Spring 2022! We hope to see you all there.
I thank you for your dedication and commitment to professional nursing and for your membership in this organization. My deep thanks and gratitude go to the ANA\C Board of Directors and to ANA\C Staff and Contractors. We could not do anything without you! THANK YOU.
Here is to a peaceful Holiday Season 2021 spent with your loved ones and a Happy New Year 2022!
Your Executive Director,
ANA\California Hires Chelsea Gianna
Please give a warm welcome to our new Member Engagement & Communication Associate! Chelsea will be assisting our growing communications team with new programs, social media, newsletters, and so much more.
3 Things Members Should Know Before California's 2022 Legislative Session
ANA\California staff sat down with Roxanne Gould, ANA\California's contracted lobbyist, to ask questions that would help nurses understand what will happen early on in the legislative process next year.
Here's what you should know:
What do lobbying organizations do at the beginning of a legislative session?
Lobbying organizations are your voice in the State Capitol and Legislative process. And ANA\California is the only nursing association in California with a contracted, licensed lobbyist.
Every year approximately 2500 bills are introduced. It is our job to monitor each bill as it is amended and proceeds through the legislative process. In January 2022, we will spend the early weeks monitoring newly introduced bills and bills carrying over from the previous year.
We strive to identify bills that impact the profession of nursing, in positive or negative ways. If they have a positive impact on nursing, we communicate our support of the bill with members of the Legislature and staff, while also testifying in committee hearings in an effort to assist the bill being passed and signed into law.
If a bill has a negative impact on the professions of nursing, we attempt to have the bill(s) amended to remove the adverse effect on nursing. If the author of the bill is not amenable to our amendment proposal, we will lobby against the bill in an effort to stop its passage.
What is a 2-year bill and how are they treated differently?
First, every two years, the California Legislature reconvenes for a new session. The Legislature held its first year of the two-year session on January 1st, 2021, and the session will not adjourn until the fall of 2022.
Second, the Legislature has various deadlines that a bill must meet in order to advance through the Legislative process. This means that a bill that is introduced early in the first half of a two-year session but is delayed because it can’t meet those deadlines is granted a bit of “extra time” to pass in the House (Senate or Assembly) that it was introduced in. It then has until January 31st of the 2nd year of a two-year session to pass.
If the bill does not pass by that deadline, the bill is “dead” for the remainder of the session.
How does Legislation affect nurses?
Legislation is introduced that impacts every industry, including nursing. And many times legislation will impact multiple industries, creating conflicts of interest.
Legislation may attempt to expand or limit the scope of practice of nurses, attempt to mandate nurse/patient ratios or mandate whether or not healthcare professionals must be vaccinated in order to be allowed to work.
In the past, there has been legislation that defined who is considered to be an independent contractor. Nurses working in rural areas were relying on multiple contracts at different hospitals because the institutions didn't need as many full-time employees or specialist nurses. Those nurses are no longer allowed to work as independent contractors, thus exacerbating the access to healthcare issues the rural areas were already experiencing for some time now.
Despite our efforts to educate the author and the Legislature as to the unintended consequences the bill would have on the profession of nursing, this bill - now known for the impact it's had on Uber and many others - passed and was signed by the Governor.
On a positive note, last year - with the help of 80+ associations - we passed a historic bill allowing nurse practitioners to practice at the top of their license! This was a huge effort and will help increase access to care and lower the cost of care to many underserved and underrepresented communities in California.
But the fight isn't done... see our Letter to the California BRN.
Comments on the Draft Regulations by the Nurse Practitioner Advisory Committee
By: CANP, CACNS, ANA\California, and CNMA
"On November 10th, 2021, the California Association for Nurse Practitioners, the California Association of Clinical Nurse Specialists, the American Nurses Association\California, and the California Nurse-Midwives Association submitted comments and provided feedback on the draft regulations by the Nurse Practitioner Advisory Committee dated October 21, 2021, regarding the implementation of AB 890.
The letter highlighted several aspects (and issues) regarding:
Clinical Field of Nursing
Categories of Nurse Practitioners
Requirements for Certification as a 103 Nurse Practitioner
Transition to Practice
Requirements for Certification as an Independent Nurse Practitioner
ANA\California continues to advocate with 80+ coalition partners at BRN meetings and with key decision-makers throughout the state."

Two Magnet Hospitals Take our Racism in Nursing Assessments
Fellow, Carter Todd MS, MBA, RN, CCRN
Two Los Angeles-based hospitals are participating in a case study with ANA\California to pilot an assessment and action plans that assess individual and organizational awareness of racism and racist policies.
The data will be under review by ANA\California's Racism in Nursing Workgroup, our Fellow, and a nurse researcher into early next year in which we plan to early results.
However, it's not too late to take the Assessment! Visit our Racism in Nursing Campaign page to get access.
Pesticide Use in California and its Effects Webinar Coming Soon
Fellow, Alicia Catanese, BSN, RN, NC-BCC-OB
Several California cities appear on all three lists of the most polluted cities in the United States. A contributing factor to this pollution, especially in California's agricultural climate, is the use of pesticides.
This has led Alicia to work with the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments, the American Lung Association, and many others.
Soon we will be hosting an educational webinar to enlighten nurses in California about the usage of pesticides in proximity to sensitive populations such as school children and elderly communities; with little or no notice.

Whether you are shopping for a new car, a pair of shoes, or a contract manufacturer, the quality of the item or service matters. Where you spend your money is important and the product you receive should be worth what you pay for! Most companies, brands, or products say they hold high standards and good quality, but do they? There is inherent skepticism when a company claims to have “high-quality,” since that value can be characterized and defined in different ways.
But at RBB, our first-rate service and products are something we are proud of, and we can prove it!
To be a high-quality company, the clients and their needs must be at the center of what we do. Each department at RBB, including engineering, production, service, quality, and sales, all work to best serve our clients.
Great Value is Proven
In the electronics industry, what constitutes a superior company and product?
- Personalized and client-focused business.
- Detailed examination and review of client documents and data.
- Repair warranty and service.
- Assistance with sourcing hard-to-find components.
- Certifications and testing capabilities.
How does RBB implement these practices?
Experts at Work
High-quality companies hire high-quality people, such as RBB’s Senior Engineer Steve Baker and Quality Assurance Specialist Jennifer Simmerman. Baker has worked at RBB for 40 years in every area of the business. Simmerman works in the quality department to improve and maintain the procedures and processes that take place during production.
Baker, Simmerman, and their teams provide excellent customer service to our clients, even behind the scenes. What does this look like at a high-quality company?
“They (clients) are able to talk to anybody in production, engineering, and quality,” said Baker.
How Can We Assist You?
We pride ourselves on offering excellent customer service.
“We are a small company with people who have worked in the business for years,” explained Baker. “The customer is able to talk to each one of us, so we can provide a more personal experience.”
This begins with RBB’s Client-Centric Teams. These teams are paired together, a Client Liaison, an Engineer, and a Buyer assigned to each client. These teams collaborate to find efficient ways to solve customers’ problems and build their products. This collaboration guarantees a seamless quoting and manufacturing process. Our Client Liaisons often hold weekly meetings with customers to give status updates, work through issues and discuss upcoming projects.
“We work with the client throughout the project. If they happen to change something or want a design change, we work with the customer on that. We build to the customer’s BOM and the parts that they use. Sometimes that is where the cost is higher so, we will provide that information and substitute parts with their approval.” Baker said. “We have the willingness to make changes based on what the client wants, on the fly.”
At RBB, we are problem solvers. RBB can offer services to clients that other contract manufacturers may shy away from.
“We can assist the client in their final design work or if there is a problem with their Gerber files. If it is pretty simple, we will work with them, and clean them up so that the board house can use them to produce the circuit boards,” said Baker.
The service department aids the client with both warranty and service items, evaluating and troubleshooting boards they send to RBB for repairs.
“We stand by our work. We have a 1-year from the date of shipment warranty on all our products. If the boards are out of warranty, we will give the customer an estimated cost before any work is done,” said Baker.
Can We Help Source Hard-To-Find Components?
RBB can also alleviate the stress of sourcing components, something we did even before electronic components were increasingly hard to find.
“That is a pretty common thing anymore,” said Baker. “With a lot of the older products that customers bring to us, a lot of the parts are obsolete, and we have to assist them in finding substitutes. That is one of the things we do for the client. We will also find substitutes for long-lead parts with the customer’s approval. We also do a lot of legacy work for our customers.”
This legacy work will often require creative solutions to either replace or obtain the necessary components that are hard to find.
There is a synergy between the client and the RBB team when we are faced with the current supply chain issues.
“RBB was very supportive in our efforts to find another source for a hard-to-find component,” said an RBB client recently. “The team did an excellent job of expediting the part through RBB production. Very pleased with the overall experience.”
Licensed To Build!
In the electronics industry, there are certifications and requirements that must be met. RBB follows the J Standard, or IPC J-STD-001, is certified in ISO 9001:2015, and has a UL508a certified control panel shop.
We hold all our client’s assemblies to high standards.
“We build to IPC-A610 Class 2 unless a client wants us to build their board to IPC-A610 Class 3,” said Simmerman.
“We have certified trainers on the floor and every two years you have to be re-certified,” added Baker.
“We can build to be ITAR, EAR, and RoHS compliant. We will provide the certification of compliance and certificate if it is required for RoHs.”
One way that we sustain good practices is with our quality department.
“We perform internal audits every year and are ISO certified,” said Simmerman. “We also perform in-process audits periodically. This is when the quality department will randomly check products throughout the year. This can be on an assembly, on a process, on a certain part, or an area that we have had a problem with.”
If a client requires their product to be tested, we can provide them with special and certified testing.
“Every work center gets a first piece inspection on any order before moving to the next work center,” explained Simmerman.
The experts at RBB can perform equipment programming, environmental chamber testing, burn-in testing, the writing of assembly and test procedures, and design/assembly of functional test fixtures, among other services.
“Every board is visually if not in-circuit (ICT) tested, before being shipped out,” said Simmerman.
“The testing is a little extra, but most clients require it. They will provide the test fixture, or they can have us design and build the test fixture to test their boards. We do that quite often with a lot of our clients. They often will provide the test procedures, such as: what kind of load to put on it, how long to test it, if there is any burn-in,” Baker explained.
Small Company, Big Relationships: RBB Customer Service
Is personalized and attentive customer service a factor in determining the quality of a company? Many consumers would say so!
Hear it for yourself! Our clients have recently told us:
- “The people at RBB are just extremely accommodating. You do exactly what you say you’re going to do.”
- “RBB has been great communicating with us and giving us options when we were running into supply chain issues. We appreciate everything you have done!”
- “We are very pleased with the product we receive from RBB. I would not hesitate to recommend RBB to anyone that could use your services.”
- “RBB has done great work for us. I have always been able to set up a meeting and have had great customer service from RBB.”
- “Everybody that I’ve worked with [at RBB] is first-rate; knows what they’re doing and seems to be experts in their subject matter.”
High quality in the electronics industry is embodied by RBB, from the customer service to the detailed and passionate attitudes of the team members. We work to move heaven and earth to make sure our clients get what they need when they need it. If you are ready to begin a relationship with a high-quality, client-oriented contract manufacturer, contact RBB today! | <urn:uuid:c66cd3ca-da05-47f3-b205-2fb690ee936c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.articlecity.com/blog/yes-quality-matters-what-makes-rbb-a-high-quality-manufacturer/ | 2024-04-14T23:40:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.968921 | 1,866 |

The 19th-century English historian J.R. Seeley famously said Britain acquired its empire in a ‘fit of absence of mind’. The same could be said of the post–Cold War European Union. In some ways, the EU’s enlargement beyond its Western European core happened in a fit of distraction after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Now, it is growing weary.
Europe’s boundaries have always been flexible in the minds of its leaders. To Charles de Gaulle, Europe included Russia as far as the Ural Mountains. In 2018, France’s current president, Emmanuel Macron, proposed a more nuanced, if controversial, definition: a Europe of ‘concentric circles’, with each circle signifying a different level of identity. It is a vision of a two-tier Europe in which Eastern and Southeastern European countries are put in their place.
While Macron’s idea never became official EU policy, it reflects an entrenched mental map that devalues Europe’s periphery. According to the worldview currently prevailing in the EU, the fringes are only important when the core needs them, or when they become a threat to its security.
At the 2020 EU – Western Balkans summit, during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, Europe’s leaders approved a large aid package for Eastern and Southeastern Europe. In separate interventions, Russia and China did, too. But the EU also lent its support to the accession of Albania, Montenegro, Kosovo, Serbia, North Macedonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina to the bloc. Then–German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the move responded to an ‘absolute geostrategic interest’.
Yet not even Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine has brought these countries closer to membership. In June, the EU granted candidate status to Ukraine and Moldova, generating disillusionment among leaders in the Western Balkans, where accession negotiations have ground to a halt.
But why is Europe stalling? At the 2022 EU – Western Balkans summit, Europe’s leaders insisted that EU membership must be ‘based upon credible reforms, fair and rigorous conditionality and the principle of own merits’. In short, they said the region isn’t ready. But that isn’t the whole story.
There’s little doubt that Western Balkan instability, compounded by weakly established democratic institutions, underlies Europe’s hesitancy. Today, Serbia and Kosovo are at loggerheads over territorial and cultural issues. While Kosovo has made progress in implementing the rule of law and fighting corruption, tensions between ethnic Serbs and the Albanian majority keep the territory divided. Several EU members—Spain, Romania, Greece, Slovakia and Cyprus—don’t even recognise Kosovo’s sovereignty.
Likewise, Macedonia struggled with EU members’ demands. In 2019, it changed its name to North Macedonia under Greek pressure. And even though Bulgaria lifted its veto on North Macedonia’s EU accession in June, it insists that Macedonian cannot be recognised as an official language.
But none of these issues should block EU membership. The truth is that Europe is suffering from enlargement fatigue, particularly when it comes to countries that wouldn’t contribute to the EU budget if they joined.
The EU is also wary of authoritarianism. Tellingly, Slovenia’s then prime minister, Janez Jansa, himself a target of EU criticism, complained: ‘The problem is that 90% of the topics in the EU institutions are not dedicated to the strategic goal of enlargement. The topic is how to expel some members and thus not expand the EU, but reduce it.’
In a sense, Jansa was right. At a time when EU leaders struggle to confront illiberal governments in Hungary and Poland, admitting Serbia under autocratic President Aleksandar Vucic probably seems as worrying as it is exhausting. Likewise, EU leaders balk at pro-Russia sentiment. Since the Kremlin launched its invasion of Ukraine, both Vucic and Milorad Dodik, the president of Republika Srpska, the Serbian federal entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina, have refused to support EU sanctions against Russia.
Serbian nationalists have long allied with Russia. But Russia’s military setbacks in Ukraine have cost it support in the region. Today, Russian President Vladimir Putin understands the limits of his influence there. That became evident when, against all predictions, Russia didn’t veto the UN Security Council resolution extending the mandate of EUFOR—the European military force deployed in Bosnia to oversee the implementation of the 1995 Dayton Accords, which ended the Bosnian War. Vucic and Dodik even advised against a veto.
Russia fears that the alternative to EUFOR is a robust NATO, and that an end to it could resurrect a Bosnian mission for the alliance. Given this European military presence and US President Joe Biden’s intention to re-engage with the region, EU leaders likely think that Western Balkan accession can continue to wait.
Albania, Montenegro and North Macedonia are already NATO members, and Bosnia wants to join. This, too, permits a fatigued EU to keep the Western Balkan countries’ candidacies on hold. Macron’s Europe of concentric circles might not be official EU policy—but it surely seems like it. | <urn:uuid:42cab522-3958-411b-a9fd-e47689607290> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/the-price-of-europes-expansion-fatigue/ | 2024-04-14T23:19:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.94184 | 1,120 |

Modern developments have accelerated the need for battery testing solutions that can quickly and reliably bring a product to market. Within the white paper, AES outlines the pressures industries feel from the market and their unique requirements. These ongoing shifts have pushed industries to find flexible solutions that test their products effectively and save them financially in the long run. Our ATP® series and AES are unparalleled investments.
Established in 2005, the All Test Platform solution has grown expansively and now includes four types of battery fixtures. The ATP Platform is broken down into four different solutions that meet different needs in the industry:
- ATPHEAVY Adaptable
These innovative fixtures can open a world of opportunity for a buyer. Numerous companies go through multiple different manufacturers, from fixture designers to cycler manufacturers, to keep up with testing demands. Companies who build a fixture in-house instead of outsourcing only find themselves in more of a financial burden. The engineering employee costs and materials can quickly stack up, and if a product or built solution doesn’t work as expected, this only stretches the timeline.

ATP Cost-Benefit Analysis
Battery costs, including EV battery cells, are expected to increase by 22% by 2026. This surge could drastically impact industries. Apart from the ongoing time and financial resources industries lose from the many manufacturers used to create a fixture, this market shift requires industries to rely on a provider that can save them resources, be adaptable to ongoing project needs, and provide a lifetime value.
The white paper provides an honest glimpse into the cost-effectiveness of ATP test chamber solutions. AES can provide each customer with an efficient solution, enabling them to have an ATP for over a decade without repairs, modifications, or replacements. Consider its long-term benefits for the following industries:
The race to produce longer-lasting batteries in vehicles has skyrocketed battery testing for electric vehicles. To keep up with these changes, EV manufacturers often spend countless hours and dollars routinely to meet shifts, which include chamber capabilities and cell types. With an ATP fixture, such as the ATPHEAVY Adaptable, the chamber can easily accommodate larger-capacity batteries, multiple geometries of the pouch, and prismatic and cylindrical cells. As a result, EV manufacturers do not have to continually purchase a new chamber and fixture to test new chemistries. The Adaptable allows them to switch battery holders and cables for different current requirements effortlessly and when testing requirements shift.
Electronic products are in high demand from smartphones to laptops, pushing consumer electronic companies to develop new technologies to avoid risk, improve efficiency, and be more cost-effective. With a fixture and chamber from AES, these companies can safely catch performance faults, saving them considerable time, money, and resources. Depending on your requirements, AES will work with you to find the best solution, whether our ATPPRIME or ATPHEAVY is adaptable.
The medical and pharmaceutical industry relies on battery technology for devices such as pacemakers and CT scanners. It may be the driving force behind the increasing democratization and accessibility of healthcare.

Walk-in Series - Temperature with Humidity
Solid-structure walk-in models are built using AES' high-performance versions of the popular floor-style models and can be ordered for stability testing purposes or cycle testing.
STRUCTURE. When you require extreme temperatures and saturated humidity rates, your testing is more suited to structural build construction. Structural walk-in rooms are welded, one-piece units assembled with durable steel making them optimal for heavy or over-sized product loading and high humidity. Structural walk-in rooms are advantageous for speedy temperature change rates, high humidity, and explosion resistant applications.
In high-humidity conditions where increased pressure is present, a welded-steel structural frame interior is required. Under these reinforced conditions, temperatures from -73°C to +538°C (-100°F to +1000°F) can be sustained. And relative humidity can range from 10-95%.
Structural build chambers are most often custom-designed products. Because of our extensive product offering and years of designing test chambers, your specific needs will not increase delivery time, but they do require more planning and engineering design time to create the plans and drawings which are followed by customer approvals before manufacturing can begin.
PERFORMANCE. To optimize temperature conditions within the workspace a specially designed plenum allows airflow to enter the space from the back and pushed to the sides for conditioning. Toward the front of the workspace, registers spread the air top to bottom creating a uniform workspace for testing dense products under dead-load and live-load situations.
Airflow for products under test is fed by triple-blower wheels at the back wall with left and right air discharge. Plenums on both the left and right sides condition and discharge air to the front of the workspace through baffles that direct the airflow uniformly top to bottom. As air enters through the back of the chamber, the flow is directed along the sides through a plenum where the air is conditioned to the correct temperature. When the air reaches the front of the chamber it flows through registers with baffles that direct the air to move uniformly from top to bottom. Stacked circulation fans on the back wall of the workspace pulls the air through the product and back into the plenum to be reconditioned.
Access ports can be placed on each side, using your specific requirements.
HEATING SYSTEM. A mix of several open nichrome heaters and ceramic core nichrome heaters spread across airflow for reliable and accurate temperature control within ±0.5°C.
HUMIDITY SYSTEM. Reach highly saturated humidity levels with no concerns. High-pressure environments require solid structures so there is no chance of leakage through seams. To extend your humidity range, see the optional features section. View RH Chart.
COOLING SYSTEM. The cooling system is a self-contained mechanical refrigeration system with the configuration that will fit your needs. An AES engineer can discuss the benefits of a water-cooled or air-cooled condenser.
Add boost cooling with liquid LN2 or CO2 for even faster pull-down rates. It's a great option for stress tests that require rapid cooling. Even without boost cooling, AES’ standard cascade refrigeration systems have the fastest standard change rates of any environmental test chamber manufacturer. See Basic Specifications tab below.
INSTRUMENTATION. FDP-4264 Series Test Chambers have incorporated the AESONE CONNECT creating a robust connected device for a standard and uniform interface making operation easier.

- Safety Features
- Optional Features
STABILITY WALK-IN CHAMBERS
When products need to be tested or stored in a constant environment, stability chambers will replicate such conditions.
Stability chambers are meant to run constantly for long periods of time at a consistent temperature with or without humidity.
These steady-state chambers are electronically configured to meet several governmental regulations and test requirements in industries such as electronics, healthcare, food and beverage, packaging, life science, and more. Chambers are always factory set and configured to meet your specific test requirements, and a service team member can calibrate the chamber to ensure accuracy.
Below are common sizes manufactured at Associated Environmental Systems in Acton, Massachusetts. We are known for building custom stability chambers which meet our customers specifications with the same manufacturing lead times as standard chambers.

One of Europe's most acclaimed and sought-after ballet companies, the State Ballet Theatre of Ukraine, led by Artistic Director and Bolshoi alum Andrey Litvinov, is committed to upholding and presenting ballet's biggest masterpieces to audiences across the globe. As part of their 2024/25 season, the company is touring across North America once more, bringing you a world-class ballet experience.
Based on an 1816 short story by E.T.A Hoffman and premiering as a ballet in 1892, The Nutcracker with its fairy tale adventure of Clara and her Nutcracker prince has become emblematic of the Christmas season in the US. First performed here in 1944 by the San Francisco Ballet, it is an unmissable part of the holiday celebrations. Don't miss the talented, 55-strong cast of the State Ballet Theatre of Ukraine as they perform and bring their dazzling production to you this year! | <urn:uuid:e1c3ed07-b9b2-4666-a6f6-bd034e7ee76d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.athens-theater.com/theaters/classic-center-theatre/state-ballet-theatre-of-ukraine-the-nutcracker.php | 2024-04-15T00:20:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.951988 | 199 |
In February 2015, skiers and visitors at Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada may have spotted a man in a pair of snowshoes trudging back and forth though deep snow. The footprints he left behind made up detailed shapes of a howling wolf, a maple leaf, and a massive snowflake on the slopes of the Rocky Mountains. They are three examples of Simon Beck’s “Snow Art”—temporary geometrical masterpieces that can only be fully appreciated from above.
This video, produced by Banff & Lake Louise, shows a cinematic montage of Beck’s process. It was his first artistic venture on North American snow, having left behind other fractal art in snowy fields of the French Alps and Norway. He’s even made pieces on sandy beaches.
Previously an engineer and mapmaker, Beck goes to extreme efforts to execute these complex, large-scale pieces. He uses a map drawing of the design, a baseplate compass, a prismatic compass, and dons warm socks, boots, and snowshoes. A single creation could take about 11 hours, thousands of steps, and total up to 25 miles of walking, according to Slate. At the 50-second mark, you can watch a time-lapse of Beck stomping out the outline of a wolf. The approximately 1,500-foot snowflake (his largest-sized drawing at the date of the video) took Beck over six hours of trekking through snow.
Beck has completed 240 drawings in the past 12 years, reported AccuWeather in 2016. While these intricate images in the snow are beautiful, there is also a deeper meaning within his work. “There’s also an environmental message,” Beck told AccuWeather. “Snow is beautiful; we need snow. We need winter and we shouldn’t wreck it too much.”

I think the price is too high. TVS is always like that. In 200cc bikes, I suggest you please buy KTM Duke 200, as it is power, looks sporty and is very easy to handle. And such a waste bringing out such special edition models.

Expensive 200cc motorcycle
I had a race with my friend's Pulsar 200NS. My bike performed much better and it felt very light when turning. I felt it's the best 200cc bike in the market.
TVS is king
I have always been a fan of TVS motors. They make great bikes and the RTR 200 v4 is one of them. It's light, sporty and is having a very comfortable seat, even for pillion. My girl friend loves the bike, and she wants to learn how to ride on it.
Sporty and affordable
The best bike in 200cc segment. KTM is too expensive. TVS quality is equally good, and the sporty handling makes it a very good deal among youngsters like me. I like matte colours very much. | <urn:uuid:84f840b3-26fa-468c-9f9d-33706594764f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/tvs/apache-rtr-200-4v/userreviews/ | 2024-04-14T23:02:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.980643 | 250 |

The 'Triangular Twilight Necklace' is an exquisite homage to the mystical transition from day to night, a piece that artistically captures the essence of twilight.
Each necklace, exquisitely crafted in silver, is enhanced with a luxurious 24-karat gold-plated finish.
This necklace boasts a unique dual pendant design. The first element, a hollow triangle, allows the delicate chain to flow seamlessly through, leading to the second pendant – a solid triangle, richly embellished with sparkling Swarovski crystals.
This design not only symbolizes stability amidst change but also mirrors the serene elegance of the twilight hours. It beautifully captures the delicate balance between light and shadow, embodying the ethereal beauty of dusk and dawn. The triangular shape is more than an artistic choice; it's a representation of the equilibrium and grace inherent in nature's daily transformation.
Meticulously crafted, the 'Triangular Twilight Necklace' is not just a symbol of refined beauty but also ensures a comfortable fit with its hypoallergenic finish. Presented in Happy Mode's signature eco-friendly packaging. | <urn:uuid:3880b6e0-a5fb-409f-8aa0-cd160d3aefbe> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.azureandhappymode.com/products/triangular-twilight-necklace-with-swarovski-detail | 2024-04-14T23:02:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.898603 | 227 |

bailey also wanted to see the famous hollywood and vine intersection that she's heard so much about. she wasn't that impressed. BOL. but all in all, she had a good time and now this adventure has been crossed off her bucket list. | <urn:uuid:2e65568e-f4f5-4ca0-bc37-3bc9b69ae052> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.baileyunleashed.com/2020/08/hollywood-fbf.html | 2024-04-15T00:33:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.985935 | 103 |

The National Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation Policy Council has approved a budget of 117.8 billion baht to improve higher education, with a focus on a plan to push for development projects related to the bio, circular and green (BCG) economy.
Minister of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation Anek Laothamatas said the council's meeting on Thursday endorsed the budget for fiscal 2022.
Of the total amount, 70.42 billion baht or about 60% will be earmarked for the salaries of higher education personnel while 38.65 billion baht (33%) will be set aside for operational costs.
Another 8.8 billion baht (7%) will go toward improving the excellence of higher education institutes and developing highly specialised manpower to respond to the needs of the country, Mr Anek said.
The proposed budget will be presented for cabinet endorsement, he said.
Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Don Pramudwinai, chairman of the council, said he laid down three major policies at the meeting.
The first policy involves promoting the BCG economy to help drive growth, Mr Don said.
The BCG is an economic development model which is in line with the sufficiency economy philosophy initiated by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great, he said.
They share a common aim for sustainable development, he added.
On Jan 13, the first meeting of a management committee to drive the BCG economy chaired by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha approved a five-year strategic plan to promote BCG between 2021 and 2026.
According to Gen Prayut, the government agreed to place BCG on the national agenda to speed up development because the sectors can increase the value of farm products and BCG is part of a global development trend.
The BCG strategic plan covers four sectors: farming and food; healthcare and medical services; energy and biochemicals; and tourism and the creative economy.
The second policy stresses the role of science, research and innovation in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic, Mr Don said, adding it is important to lay the foundation for development of healthcare human resources and knowledge of vaccines and medicines to prepare for health security challenges in the future, Mr Don said.
The third policy involves development of science, technology and higher education, Mr Don said. | <urn:uuid:e88c0902-4396-48aa-992b-fd9caf88232d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2063875/govt-greenlights-b117bn-boost-for-higher-education | 2024-04-15T00:13:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.941731 | 499 |

Mixed barbershop opens exciting new opportunities and perspectives to barbershop as a modern, living style of music. It promotes barbershop and makes it even more interesting to singers of all age groups. In the event that a country (e.g. U.S. and Canada) has no representative at the World Mixed, their contest slot will be available for a "wild card". ... Quartets from nations without mixed contests have to apply for a Wild Card with a video for preliminary judging. The wild card application form (see below) must be sent in by the applying quartets by October 1, 2013. | <urn:uuid:3a4dc6b4-f108-422c-85d3-b9d5c45264aa> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.barbershop.org/world-mixed-championships-to-be-sponsored-by-bing-barbershop-in-germany | 2024-04-14T22:36:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.964155 | 154 |
Any significant event that has occurred in the history of man has always been about people. From global conquests to curing epidemics, inventing cars, space travel and even simplifying our daily lives with technology. Design thinking, the overhyped and less understood mindset has intentionally or unknowingly been at the heart of innovations-from the simplest of them by individuals to make household chores easier, that no one might ever hear about; to those by groups of brilliant scientists, lone innovators and hordes of selfless social volunteers working on improving lives the world over.
Design thinking is essential yet elusive as something like kindness or charity or even ethics and morality. This book aims at demystifying the seemingly complex but very fundamental yet essential mindset of design thinking to help you apply it to designing your business, your life, and possibly a better world.
Shrutin N Shetty works at the intersection of management strategy, design thinking, and psychology. Working as a design strategist, he helps young businesses in India and abroad understand their customer needs better, and then with their innovation, strategy and growth. A computer engineer with an MBA in Finance, he has studied design thinking and is keenly interested in human behaviour. In his corporate career, he has worked across specializations and sectors including the BPO space, venture capital, metrology and industrial robotics.
He believes lives, business, and even the world can be transformed using design thinking-if only people and businesses picked goals genuinely worth pursuing and then actually pursued them! He is convinced that design thinking is man's best chance to stay relevant, even when coexisting with robots someday.
By way of this book, he strives to unravel the elusiveness behind the overly-hyped but increasingly relevant practice of design thinking and to showcase its effectiveness. And more importantly, to make it simple enough for anyone to understand and hopefully practice, to design a better future for themselves.
When he is not working with companies on their innovation and growth, or conducting ideation workshops for companies and students, he spends time toying with a pet project in the social networking space. | <urn:uuid:8b0d6e25-563f-4227-b11a-58bc902aecfe> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/design-the-future-shrutin-n-shetty/1129802214?ean=9781644296202 | 2024-04-15T00:06:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.967676 | 428 |
Putting the ‘Win’ in the Winter market
There is no doubt that the ongoing shortage of new listings hitting the market has contributed to some serious buyer competition for the limited number of properties available for sale in the City of Moonee Valley and surrounding suburbs this Winter.
With this week’s announcement by the Reserve Bank to leave official interest rates on hold contributing to the underlying confidence among local home buyers, we are continuing to see some outstanding sales results in our area, with some of this week’s auctions soaring well above expectations.
Airport West: 166 Halsey Road. Tucked away in a cul-de-sac close to Westfield, this four-bedroom timber home had plenty of future upside for young families. Three bidders pushed it above our vendor’s reserve with the SOLD sign going up at $715,500 (pictured).
Avondale Heights: 2/77 Canning Street. This centrally located two-bedroom ground floor apartment attracted interest from investors and market entrants before selling for $320,000.
Avondale Heights: 29 Thackeray Quadrant. Making the most of a highly regarded location close to quality schools and the river, this potential-packed one-owner four-bedroom home attracted bidding from at least seven bidders. This spirited competition took the eventual sale price to an impressive $1.325 million, more than $150,000 above our ecstatic vendor’s reserve price!

‘Silly show’ brings back the past
Live Lighter Busselton Fringe is being promised a blast from the past by some of Perth’s best Burlesque performers tonight, as names like Lucinda Panties, Amy Darling, Lola Moore, Malaika Moon and Jon Madd take to the stage for a wild romp through the ages.
Blast From the Past celebrates the music, fashion and freedom of past eras, taking audiences from the classic burlesque of the 50s, through to the hippie movement of the 70s and beyond.
Producer Clara Loveny told the Times performers had their own unique act, which resulted in a “seriously high-energy and silly show” for audiences to enjoy. “Each performer has a little snippet... which is a great way to break up a night in a way that’s different to your traditional theatre styles,” she said. “There’s going to be a lot of variety you’ve never seen before, so bring your sense of humour.”
Magician Jon Madd will also perform his own unique act, bringing sleight of hand and boyish humour together to keep audiences gaping and guffawing. Ms Loveny said Perth was home to the country’s biggest burlesque community, giving Busselton “a lot to draw from”. Blast from the Past runs tonight and tomorrow at the Weld Theatre at 9.45pm.

First printed in Fruit Grower News, June 2015 www.fruitgrowernews.com

Matthew Whiting, Cherry Horticulturist at Washington State University has identified mechanical pollination to be effective in cherry and apple operations. Researchers are using an orchard sprayer to pollinate tree fruit.
“We’re doing it for yield security and resilience to colony collapse disorder, variable environmental conditions, poor bloom overlap, insufficient pollinizers/pollinators – all of which threaten the ability to set a crop,” Whiting said.
The study in a number of orchards with multiple apple and cherry varieties involved conducting six field trials, along with laboratory research.
Aided by support from Washington Tree Fruit Research Commission, an electrostatic sprayer was used to make two applications of pollen at three different rates. Trees were netted to keep bees out, and pollen was sprayed when 50 percent and 90 percent of the flowers were open.
Two different systems were used for artificial pollen, Whiting said.
Evaluations targeted pollen viability of three sweet cherry pollen genotypes and developed a formulation that would suspend pollen in solution, move through the sprayer without clogging, and maintain pollen viability long enough to stick to the flower stigmas and fertilize the ovules.
“With the supplemental pollination, the grower does everything normally with pollinators throughout the orchard, and they don’t interfere,” he said. The other scenario is most compelling. It’s replacement pollination in which only the pollen transferred to the flowers comes through an artificial system.
“We’re envisioning a scenario down the road when there will be no need for pollinators and no hiring and production of bees,” Whiting said.
Fruit set was 15 percent higher in one cherry orchard that was mechanically pollinated, compared to natural pollination. In the apple trial that looked at two different pollen solutions, fruit set increased 56 percent and 75 percent compared to natural pollination.
“We had good results in 2014 using both approaches,” Whiting said. “Our proposed solution is to collect pollen, suspend pollen, apply it via a sprayer. The challenges are the stigma is a small target, and pollen loses viability in liquid.”
Whiting is working with On Target Spray Systems, which has an ATV-powered electrostatic sprayer, and Firman Pollen.
Work continues this year in five cherry trials, and one each in apple and pear. Goals are to improve pollen application rates and timing and determine any impacts on fruit quality and yield.
“We’re getting out much more this year with growers,” Whiting said. “There hasn’t been a single orchard manager who didn’t understand that this could be a real game changer for us.” | <urn:uuid:d190f4e8-70b4-42af-8452-6e4a484c6ad7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.beeculture.com/catch-the-buzz-mechanical-pollination-of-apples-and-cherries-a-game-changing-reality/ | 2024-04-14T22:51:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.951625 | 607 |

use HTML structure with only for main keywords and In addition to targeting potential customers, offering educational resources is a crucial aspect of marketing for your beekeeping business. By providing valuable information for those interested in learning about beekeeping, you can establish yourself as an expert in the industry and build trust with potential customers.

When it comes to targeting potential customers for your beekeeping business, one of the first and most important steps is identifying your target audience. This means understanding who your potential customers are and what their needs are. To start, consider the different demographics that may be interested in bee products and services.This can include individuals who are health-conscious and interested in natural remedies, environmentally-conscious consumers, or even other businesses looking to use bee products in their products or services. Next, think about the specific needs of these potential customers. Are they looking for raw honey? Beeswax candles? Pollination services? Understanding the specific needs of your target audience will help you tailor your marketing strategies and offerings to better attract and retain their business. Additionally, it is important to consider where your potential customers are located. Are they local to your area or do they live in other regions? This can impact how you market and sell your products and services. Overall, having a clear understanding of your target audience and their needs will greatly improve your ability to effectively target and attract potential customers for your beekeeping business.
Highlighting the Benefits of Beekeeping
Beekeeping is not just a profitable business, but also a valuable practice that has a positive impact on the environment. By emphasizing the value of beekeeping, you can attract potential customers who are not only interested in supporting a sustainable industry, but also in the benefits that bee products can provide. One of the main benefits of beekeeping is the production of honey, which is not only delicious but also has many health benefits.Honey is known for its antibacterial and antioxidant properties, making it a popular natural remedy for various ailments. By highlighting this benefit, you can attract health-conscious consumers who are looking for alternative and natural products. Beekeeping also plays a crucial role in pollination, which is essential for the growth and reproduction of plants. As bees visit flowers to collect nectar and pollen, they inadvertently transfer pollen from one flower to another, allowing plants to reproduce and produce fruits and seeds. Without bees, many crops would not be able to thrive, and the ecosystem would suffer.
By educating potential customers about this important role of beekeeping, you can appeal to those who are environmentally conscious and want to support sustainable practices. Moreover, beekeeping can also provide an additional source of income for farmers and landowners. By renting out space for beehives or selling honey and other bee products, they can diversify their revenue streams and improve their financial stability. This can be especially appealing to small-scale farmers who are looking for ways to supplement their income. In conclusion, highlighting the benefits of beekeeping is essential for effectively targeting potential customers in the beekeeping industry. By emphasizing the value of beekeeping and its impact on the environment, you can attract consumers who are not only interested in supporting a sustainable business, but also in the health benefits, environmental impact, and financial opportunities that beekeeping can provide. Targeting potential customers is a crucial aspect of running a successful beekeeping business.
By understanding your target audience and effectively communicating the benefits of your business, you can attract and retain loyal customers. With the right strategies in place, your beekeeping business can thrive and contribute to the growth of this industry. | <urn:uuid:db767b83-953a-4d38-b205-f038d831fc89> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.bees-honey.net/marketing-strategies-targeting-potential-customers | 2024-04-15T00:02:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.957831 | 1,091 |
