I thrive on answering the tough legal questions raised in commercial litigation. A thorough approach is key to success at trial and on appeal. I give each client a direct and unvarnished assessment of the strengths, weakness and likely outcomes of the case so we can seize opportunities, avoid surprises and develop the best strategy to reach a favorable result.
Bill Drabble focuses his practice on appellate advocacy and complex commercial litigation. Known for his keen business sense, clear writing, and compelling oral advocacy, he has briefed, argued, and won cases in the Texas Supreme Court, the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Fifth and Tenth Circuits, and Texas’s intermediate courts of appeals. Bill also helps position cases for success before and at trial through strategic analysis, drafting and responding to dispositive and post-judgment motions, and serving as embedded appellate counsel at trial.
But Bill’s practice is not limited to appeals. He has extensive experience in the trial courtroom, representing property owners, landlords, tenants and developers in real estate litigation, including disputes over land sales, breaches of lease agreements, premises-liability claims, and other disputes involving commercial and residential properties. He also handles a wide variety of intra-company disputes, such as prosecuting and defending claims for breaches of shareholder or company agreements, breach of fiduciary duty claims against directors and officers, and contests for control over the company.
After graduating first in his class from the Baylor University School of Law, Bill served a two-year clerkship for Judge Walter S. Smith, Jr. in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, where he gained significant experience in multiple areas of federal practice and a behind-the-scenes perspective of the judicial decision-making process. While clerking, Bill also served as an adjunct law professor at Baylor University and coached three moot-court teams. | <urn:uuid:24f1952a-ed4a-46b3-a05b-e2d5dcdd60ab> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.grayreed.com/Our-People/William-Drabble | 2024-04-14T22:49:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.958614 | 382 |
When it comes to picking a new driveway, you’ve got options. However, we’re going to put away concrete and gravel and look at the two major sides of the spectrum: asphalt and pavers. One is a tried and true driveway material that will have existed in at least one home you’ve bought or rented over the years, the other is an intriguing option with some special benefits. Below are the three things to keep in mind when you’re making the decision and talking to your driveway contractor about your options.
Cost Considerations: Up Front Costs
Asphalt is known for its affordability, only beaten out by an unimproved or gravel driveway in terms of cost. Pavers, on the other hand, are much more manpower and resource intensive, as individual pavers cost more than the equivalent layer of asphalt, and must be hand placed. Much of the rest of the process should be similar, with the sub-layers of the driveway produced in a similar fashion requiring excavation, and then layers of sized gravel and sand to produce the platform for the driveway material. As pavers tend to be thicker than the layer of asphalt, the excavation may be slightly deeper.
Cost Considerations: Maintenance
So, what offsets the cost of pavers? One of the major features is that pavers age much better than asphalt, with less maintenance required. To maintain an asphalt driveway, a layer of seal coat should be applied within six months of installation, and then maintained with a new coat every other year. Cracking due to moisture and other issues can go from hairline to pothole if left untreated. Pavers, being made of more durable materials and being separate units, are much less prone to breaking and do not require treatment. If one does break, you can easily replace the single unit.
Food For Thought: Function and Form
Permeable pavers also allow water to pass through the driveway, which can help avoid pooling or flooding in heavy rain – something that can’t be duplicated with an asphalt or concrete driveway. Many people who look at pavers as an option also have aesthetics in mind. Asphalt is traditional, but also unchangeable: asphalt will always be black. Pavers come in an array of colors, sizes, and styles they can be set in. This added design stage does mean an overall longer project and cost, but also a much more visually striking driveway (and therefore yard and curb appeal).
Summary: Paver Driveway vs Asphalt Driveway
Three major takeaways from comparing these two types of driveways:
- Asphalt is cheaper than pavers in up-front installation costs.
- Pavers are lower maintenance and generally have a longer lifespan.
- You have more design and visual variety options with pavers.
We hope this comparison of two of the most popular driveway options has provided some guidance on the type of driveway you’re interested in having. If you decide to not go with asphalt, contact Greener Horizon. We do installations of pavers, gravel, and concrete driveways in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and would be happy to provide a free consultation on your options. | <urn:uuid:5c97516e-da30-44c6-ba6f-fe7d833ff664> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.greenerhorizon.com/paver-driveway-vs-asphalt-driveway-wins/ | 2024-04-14T22:39:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.945686 | 650 |

With the home furnishings industry booming, Spring Showtime commenced in High Point, NC at Market Square Tower. Upcoming trends are noted as we shopped the show for new fabric placements in upcoming collections. Follow along because we are excited to share these findings with you!
Performance & Sustainability
First and foremost, performance is a recurring category that has not shown any signs of slowing down. Decorative fabrics that were once mostly for show are now performance-capable for everyday use in high-traffic areas. This season we are seeing an additional buzz around sustainability. Combine fabric characteristics that are practical for every lifestyle along with an eco-friendly story and you have got the whole package!
This season we are seeing new renditions of this ever-existing trend. A good animal print will never go out of style. With a versatile background, these exotic fabrics can take on the look of anything from a plain to a ditsy or even make a statement in a bolder format.
Fresh yet livable colors are always a home décor go-to. Say hello to Adobe, a “new neutral” that plays well with any color palette. This warm, clay coloration gives a welcoming invite to any elevated space.
With warm weather upon us, it only feels right that a coast of some kind is on our mind. Beautiful, spa blues and airy neutrals pair perfectly with contemporary prints at this year’s Showtime. Bring the feel of the outdoors in with this luxurious, beachy style.

Photoshop Quick Tips
In this post we will be taking a look at some of Photoshop’s useful tools that make real life at the desk a little easier. The first one we’ll look at is having more control during the image sharpening process.
What is Camera Raw Filter?
This was new to CC and lets access some features of Adobe Camera RAW directly from Photoshop itself but you need to be aware you can’t access everything. It can be used on all image formats and on layers. Beauty of this filter is you can access RAW at any time during your image editing not just at the opening screen. If you work with Photoshop Smart Objects you will be able make edits whilst using the filter then jump back at any time to change them

The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) was established in 1958 as one of the UN’s five regional commissions. The ECA’s mandate is to promote the economic and social development of its 54 member States, foster regional and international cooperation for Africa’s development, including road safety.
ECA undertakes a range of initiatives to coordinate road safety action within the Africa region, under the African Road Safety Action Plan. These include driving out action to meet the UN Decade on Road Safety targets, steering States to implement recommendations related to road safety, data collection, education and awareness raising, policy harmonization, and partnership and collaboration.
ECA brings together member States in a number of forums, including this year’s Third African Road Safety Conference to address rural road safety, national road safety targets, and actions to ensure the enforcement of road safety legislation related to speed control, drink-driving, and use of helmets.
Executive Committee No
UNECA and Road Safety
Preliminary findings of the ECA study indicate that progress has been uneven across member States as well as across the different intervention areas. For instance, member States are doing relatively well in the establishment of lead Road Safety Agencies, with 57% of them having done so. Similarly, 50% of member States have set realistic and attainable road safety targets while 79% indicate that they have established self-standing road safety financing mechanisms. However, more than 50% of the surveyed countries have done nothing at all or significant with regard to: creating knowledge management portals on road safety issues; allocating at least 10% of road infrastructure investment funds to road safety, and enforcing mandatory reporting on road safety. | <urn:uuid:42307b22-3495-44d5-aaac-869ad738a97d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.grsproadsafety.org/members/uneca/ | 2024-04-14T23:57:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.960563 | 341 |
GTCF Spark Grant Recipient Tackling “Period Poverty” at Local Schools
Sharon Chambers-Gordon was first exposed to the issue of “Period Poverty” through her own daughter’s experience. “She was in Middle School when it happened for the first time, and she didn’t have any supplies with her.” Luckily the school nurse had a few sanitary napkins, but the nurse told Sharon it wasn’t something that the school always kept stocked, “People drop items off from time to time, but it’s not something they always have on hand.”
As Sharon began to ask more questions and talk with other families and school administrators, she learned that period poverty, the inability to afford feminine hygiene products, affects many young women here in Pierce County. “When you’re making just enough to get by, hygiene items and other products like lotion and body wash are often way down on the list,” Sharon explained. “And, Washington is currently one of 37 states with a “pink tax” where feminine care products are taxed like luxury items, so that increases the cost as well.”
Sharon started the Raising Girls project to provide feminine care products to local girls. In 2018 they donated 200 care packages to girls in foster care and the Juvenile Justice program. An additional 50 bags went to the Boys & Girls Club at the Eastside Community Center and those quickly ran out, emphasizing the high demand for this kind of support. This past Winter, Sharon was one of 6 GTCF Spark Grant Recipients, receiving a micro-grant to provide more of these hygiene care packages at the Eastside Community Center.
In addition to the Boys & Girls Club, Sharon has also partnered with Tacoma Public Schools. Rosemarie Burke, principal at First Creek Middle School, sees how Period Poverty can be a barrier for her female students, “Talking to my girls here and at other schools I’ve worked at I know it really is a need. Girls are going without and they are either missing school or just using toilet paper or whatever limited products we might have in the nurse’s office. It impacts attendance, it impacts grades, and it impacts the overall healthy lifestyle for young women here in our community and it would just be great that it wasn’t an issue.”
Earlier this month, Raising Girls assembled 550 care packs which they will soon deliver to 11 Tacoma Public Schools campuses (6 middle schools and 5 high schools). They are also developing plans for workshops, presentations, and print materials for students, teachers, and parents so that everyone knows about the resources available and how to help when the need arises.
Raising Girls is currently hosting a One Bag Drive where community members can grab a bag from locations around Tacoma and fill it with items from an attached list. All of the bags from the drive will be donated to the Eastside Community Center.
Is there a need you are addressing to help make a difference in your community? Apply for a Spark Grant by April 30th and you could receive $1,500 to help make it happen.

By Roger Noriega
January 17, 2011, 2:50 pm
A year after the devastating 2010 earthquake, Haitians are trying to clear away the rubble of incompetent, corrupt, and failed political leadership by electing a new president. Unfortunately, incumbent President René Préval – abetted by Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chávez and the unprincipled head of the Organization of American States (OAS) – is trying to deny the Haitian people a president of their own choosing. The dramatic return of former dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier to Port au Prince on Sunday has raised the stakes for U.S. diplomats and others, who must act boldly to salvage the democratic process so Haitians can look to their future.
Sources in the American government know that Préval recently sought $25 million from Chávez to bankroll the runoff campaign of his handpicked successor, Jude Célestin. U.S. officials also know that OAS Secretary General Jose Miguel Insulza ordered his staff to suppress new findings by a team of electoral experts that reveals that Célestin is not even eligible to advance to the second round, having finished third behind Mirlande Manigat and Michel Martelly in last November’s first-round balloting.
The international community, which has a sorry record of asking Haitians to settle for corrupt governments in the interest of short-term stability, can redeem itself now by thwarting Préval’s plot to impose a puppet successor who will put Haiti at the disposal of Chávez and his growing drug network. Observers have told me that Préval spent at least $20 million on Célestin’s first-round campaign, and he has asked Chávez to double-down on this investment. His hopes will be dashed if Célestin’s third-place finish is documented by the OAS. That’s where Insulza comes in.
During Insulza’s tenure, the OAS has ignored egregious assaults on democracy by leftist regimes in Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Honduras, and Nicaragua. The original observer mission he dispatched to Haiti to help organize and observe critical presidential elections fell down on the job. That mission ignored Préval’s scandalous abuse of state resources that he hoped would rally support for Célestin. The OAS stood by as corrupt election officials rigged the process by disqualifying candidates who would have performed well against Préval’s crony. On election day, international media captured images of ballot-stuffing and electoral violence – mostly in favor of Préval’s man. However, the OAS mission rushed to declare that the widespread irregularities did not invalidate the balloting.
Insulza’s OAS mission is virtually alone in defending the official results which contend that Célestin edged out Martelly and should advance to the second round. After the U.S. Embassy joined independent observers in challenging these results, Préval asked Insulza to send a new team of election experts that he expected to back up his phony numbers. However, this independent team promptly examined a sample of tally sheets and prepared a preliminary report concluding that Martelly knocked out Célestin in the first round.
When word of the team’s decisive findings reached OAS headquarters in Washington earlier this month, Insulza dispatched his crony who runs the secretariat’s electoral unit, Pablo Gutierrez, to try to bury these independent findings. That cover-up was thwarted when the team’s preliminary report was leaked to the media. “After a thorough statistical analysis … the Expert Mission has determined that it cannot support the preliminary results of the presidential elections,” the Miami Herald quoted from the draft report. (According to sources within the OAS, Insulza is more interested in finding out who leaked the facts than they are about the electoral fraud that is playing out in Haiti with his tacit support.)
American diplomats in Port au Prince agree with the findings of the expert report. For weeks, they have given Préval and Insulza the opportunity to do the right thing and acknowledge Célestin’s defeat. But neither has the political will, credibility or clout to save the process and head off Haiti’s spiral toward political violence.
When Insulza arrives in Haiti today, U.S. diplomats should insist that he inform Préval that the OAS will no longer support his bid to steal the elections. The way forward can be found in article 149 of Haiti’s constitution, under which Préval should leave office as scheduled on February 7, ceding power to an interim government headed by a member of the Supreme Court. Then, a runoff between Manigat and Martelly should be carried out as soon as practicable under an independent electoral authority.
Duvalier’s ill-timed return may prove to be a spark in a tinderbox. It is time to put an end to this clumsy electoral farce before Haiti is thrust toward needless political violence that would be the direct result of corruption in the Préval regime and cynicism in Insulza’s OAS.

Kitsch Blythe Doll Find at a Boot Fair
And isn’t she lovely!…I found this Kitsch Blythe Doll at a Car Boot Sale in Essex, whilst I was visiting my Mum!….it was actually quite late in the morning when I set my eyes upon her!….and I instantly fell in love!
She has those wide eye Blythe features, a pretty haircut and a silk scarf with pretty little bows in her hair…The lady that I bought her from told me that she is from the 1960’s and as if I wasn’t going to buy her anyway…she said the magic word…Kitsch! lol! “she is soooo kitsch”, she said….and there I was! smitten! handing over my (what seemed measly) pound for such a cute little girly!
…And her she is in full glory…she sits on a musical stall, wearing this pretty pink dress and is holding a pretty bunch of tulips….she is to die for…she also has little pink plastic shoes, but I need to stick them on, as they keep falling off, so I have put them away somewhere safe until then 🙂

In this audio only lesson I break down 15 licks that contain draw notes only (some notes unbent and some bent).
There are absolutely no blow notes in any of the licks.
The purpose and inspiration for creating this lessons was to help players break out of the rut of playing square and generic sounding blues riffs. The majority of the bluesiest sounding licks contain very few blow notes.? After going through this lesson a couple of times, you will discover just how nice sounding all draw licks sound.? It will also help you to discover new patterns by avoiding the common crutch of blowing for the sake of not knowing what to play. | <urn:uuid:b303526c-3d0e-48e4-8b1f-5cebdb48f32a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.harmonica123.com/product/draw-notes-only-blues-licks-c-harmonica/ | 2024-04-15T00:13:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.949265 | 133 |

Perhaps Lie Emperor can bring us some surprises. It wasn t just Emperor Qian who thought online erectile dysfunction pills this. The Spirit Emperor, Demon Emperor and other Abyss Emperors on the side also thought so. They also took advantage of the break between fighting Bibi Dong to pay attention to the movements here. boom Fire splattered. super maximum male enhancement supplement However, what shocked everyone was that the huge body of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King did not enzyte 24 7 male enhancement even tremble.
Below is the lifeblood of the Killing City, the blood river or Male Libido Suppressant Hcg For Low Libido In Females sea of blood. Finally, I accomplished one of my small goals. It s easier than I thought. After doing all this, Qin Xiao clapped her hands with satisfaction and walked deeper along the narrow path. He didn t need to do anything next. Just lie down and wait for the city of killing to be destroyed.
s nodded That s not right. It s still close. The arrangement of the runes has been unstable for a long time. Qin Xiao fell into realization. He used Thunder Emperor Finger over and over again, and his whole body became numb.
He could definitely help the Deep Sea Demonic Whale Male Buttocks Enhancement Supplements For Male Sexual Health King through this connection. But of course he wouldn t mention this to anyone. Now it s war. He wants to expand his advantage as much as possible. Even if he has no advantage, he must make the abyss creatures feel that he has an advantage.
Well, it is indeed surprising that such a person would participate in the Soul Master Competition After doctor natural male enhancement pills Lan finished speaking, she waved her hand again, Elder, please Male Performance Enhancement Passion Getting Testosterone Shot For Low Libido In Females continue. Ning Rongrong Ning Fengzhi s daughter is also in this team Qian Renxue was a little surprised again.
When Qin Xiao opened his eyes, Zhao Wuji, Ning Rongrong, and the most powerful male enhancement in france Zhu Zhuqing had returned. These three brats have gone wild somewhere. Zhao Wuji said with a frown. This situation Qin Xiao subconsciously came up with an idea and sighed Go and look for them in the tavern here. Good guy, we are waiting for them here, but they actually went to have fun When we find them, I have to deal with them properly.
It can be said that he is in a very urgent mood now. Don t ask about things on the road. I ll come to you naturally when I m ready. Okay, let s leave it at that for now. Qin Xiao waved his hands in a detached manner. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King shook his big head, Then you have to come early. When it s time to come, I will come. Qin Xiao said, and he was already far away.
Fortunately now, Qin Xiao is repeating what he did back then. Even better. What a slap in the face Not enough. It s only the end when one person completely falls down and can t stand up again Qin Xiao s voice was cold.
If this revenge is not avenged, I will not be able to rest in online erectile dysfunction pills peace even if I die As long as I can best natural ed pills review kill Tang Hao and destroy the Haotian Sect, dr long erection pills I am willing to pay any price As she said this, she reached out and pulled the ribbon around her waist.
There are mountains and mountains. This place is hundreds of miles away from Tiandou City, not too far or online erectile dysfunction pills enzyte 24 7 male enhancement too close. But few people in the world know that the once number one sect in the world is hidden here.
What You said Tang Hao ruined everything. Did you end up at Ten Thousand Beasts Academy Mr. Long, Snake Lady also died In the room, after Qin Xiao listened to Meng Yiran s words, his face showed emotion.
Otherwise, once they form a pincer attack from both front and rear, they will attack us. Cause a lot of losses. Emperor Ling is indeed a wise man Male Performance Enhancement For Older Men enzyte 24 7 male enhancement in the abyss plane, and can react immediately with a calm mind in emergencies.
Such a huge contribution is an unimaginable feat. However, even if Wuhun Palace has nothing to ask for, those soul masters who have received favors from Wuhun Palace are not all white eyed wolves. They will support Wuhun Palace from the bottom of their hearts. As time went by, Wuhun Palace became a powerful existence that could compete with the two major empires, and its status in the soul master world was also higher than that of the three sects.
Seahorse Douluo felt speechless, No, it s not difficult, Qin Xiao is really awesome. Sea Dragon Douluo nodded, It s good that Libido Boosters For Males enzyte 24 7 male enhancement you are aware of this problem. His eyes fell on Qin Xiao again. When Qin Xiao climbed up to the 400th step, Sea Dragon Douluo and Seahorse Douluo were startled again. Qin Xiao s speed slowed down obviously, and he changed to two steps at a time.
He made the right bet. Xiao Wu was just willfully angry with him, not that she had no feelings for him completely. But if you do this, can Er Ming come back Xiao Wu frowned and asked. People cannot be resurrected after death. Even Er Ming, as the soul beast overlord, can t bring him back to life. Tang San smiled bitterly and shook his head. Not to mention being resurrected, he estimated that Er Ming s ashes were thrown away by Qin Xiao Since your death can t exchange for Er Ming s life, then live well.
thump. thump. One figure after another fell down. Qin Xiao secretly calculated that in just five breaths, twenty or thirty people were eliminated by the two Male Orgasm Enhancement Technique online erectile dysfunction pills women. Da da da. He arrived at the counter and said to the waiter who huddled in fear Open the passage.
Male Ed Pills Pharmacy
Me Can that be the same A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhao Wuji s face at first, and then he smiled But no matter what, I am a man who has fought against a titled Douluo and escaped unscathed.
Qin Xiao smiled. In fact, he could probably guess the reason why Tang Hao spied on him. It s just that Qin Xiao s existence may threaten Tang San and Xiao Wu. Dean, in online erectile dysfunction pills front of Zhao Wuji is the small courtyard where the Thunder Emperor is. What should we pay attention to At this moment, Qin Xiao heard the sound of footsteps and noise.
Snake Woman couldn t help but said. Tang Hao s demonstration made her and Duke Long have to think carefully. Ha, are you treating me like a child Tang Hao laughed angrily If she really refined the external soul bone, why didn t she come out to see me If you are sensible, please hand over Meng Yi as soon as possible, otherwise don t blame me for being rude.
After all, the god of one world asked the god of another world if he wanted this world. This in itself was a very outrageous thing. How should he answer Want it. Wouldn t that trigger a war No. This is obviously a lie. What do you mean by sex bullet pill summoning me You re not bored and deliberately looking for me to have fun, are you The Holy Lord of the Abyss couldn t help but ask.
In fact, Qin Xiao was right, Aston did secretly send a message to other demon monarchs. After all, if you choose to fight Qin Xiao to the death even though you know you are no match for Qin Xiao, isn t that crazy sex on last day of pill break The best way to unite other demon monarchs is to surround and beat Qin Xiao to death, and to wipe out all those ant like humans Qin Xiao didn t care what Aston thought, and said slowly Actually, I have the same idea as you, and I also want all your old buddies to come.
Three days later. Haotian Sect. Tang Hao and Tang San walked silently on the Male Libido Suppressant Hcg For Low Libido In Females ruins. Uncle Hao, third brother, you are back. Tang Hu, who had been watching the outside world, emerged from a hidden corner.
He didn t expect such an outcome at all. Subconsciously, he turned his head and looked at Xiao Wu He couldn t believe that this thing was true. Is it difficult to accept Xiao Wu smiled sadly. No, no, Xiao Wu Tang San shook his head quickly, No matter what, you are my Xiao Wu, my sister.
Today, the number of soul masters in the Qibao Glazed Sect has reached 10,000, which is five times as many as before. The number of soul masters in each of the major soul master families and academies is at least double that of before.
What Pill Can Make My Dick Bigger
The guardians of the seven sacred pillars were no match for them, and they were all forced to retreat. There was even a terrifying and bloody wound on Seahorse Douluo s chest. A mayfly shakes a tree, and you don t overestimate your capabilities The place of inheritance left by Poseidon is nothing more than this. Wait until I deal with Bo Saixi and Qin Xiao before I deal with you.
But Qin Xiao doesn t. Qian Daoliu motioned for Qin Xiao to accept, You re welcome, just think of this as your thanks for helping Xue er win the throne in the Tiandou Empire. After hearing what he said, Qin Xiao did not refuse. Since it was a gift of thanks, he deserved it.
Two poles of stillness A voice that was neither yin nor yang, neither male nor female suddenly sounded. Circles of strange ripples instantly rippled from the bodies of Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo, and spread at an extremely fast speed, wrapping the big demon in them instantly.
But then, he suddenly felt dizzy. Useless trash, even if you want to die, you can t. Don t even think about taking me with you He opened his mouth and said this. Nine Headed Dark Gold Bat King, do you still dare to come out He asked coldly. This scene was very strange, as if a person was playing different roles and asking questions.
boy, you will thank me. As long as I am here, I will help you kill all your enemies. Everyone will die, Jie Jie. Tang San suddenly said something strange in a strange tone. At this moment, Tang San seemed to be a different person. In fact, he is not a different person, but a different soul. A soul that only knows killing. That s enough, shut up If you still want to experience the taste of killing, then let me be the master.
Huh After a long while, Ning Fengzhi let out a long breath, Now I have to rearrange his plan, I want to make a big bet Hearing this, Sword Douluo frowned slightly, Sect Master, you have already given him one million gold soul coins.
There has been no such genius in the Killing City for a long time. Great King, do we need to pay special attention to such a good prospect The woman in red dress asked tentatively. No need. Although geniuses don t always appear, there are some after all. But there are only a few who have truly grown up. No one can say whether it is a flash in the pan.
Tang San made up his mind, his brain running wildly. After a long time, he finally found some useful information in the memory inherited by God Shura. It turns out that the Douluo plane I am in is just a plane under the rule of the gods.
That is the Haotian Dou of the Haotian Sect. Luo Tang Hao had a duel with the Thunder Emperor, and in the end Tang Hao ran away in despair with his son. Ning Rongrong said with a proud face. This look was very similar to the star chasers Qin Xiao had seen in his previous life.
With his cultivation level facing so many powerful people, it is very likely that he will not be able to protect himself. But don t worry, it s not impossible to break through to the realm of the God King.
A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of the God King of Destruction s mouth, and he looked at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King as if he were looking at a dead person No. It was looking at a dead fish. But, the next moment, his eyes showed shock.
Now please ask the great worshiper to receive my blow. Qin Xiao thought in his heart, and the nine day calamity light gathered between his palms. Then he struck out with both palms, and the nine online erectile dysfunction pills enzyte 24 7 male enhancement day calamity light turned into a bolt and swept towards Bo Saixi.
As he said that, Ah Yin saw Tang behind Qin Xiao. Hao. Suddenly she frowned, My lord, who is he She didn t know why, but she felt a little disgusted when she saw Tang Hao. But it was obviously their first time meeting each other On the other hand, when Tang Hao saw Ah Yin, he felt a turmoil in his heart.
Like evil wolves that had been hungry for ten days and eight months, they saw When it comes to fat. Sure enough, the Demonic Great White Shark is not a kind person either. Qin Xiao s eyes flashed, and he already had an evaluation in his heart. However, he never thought of being contemptuous. After all, as one of the dominant groups among sea soul beasts, his strength is definitely not weak.
The release of powerful soul power caused his body to float slowly from the ring. Levitating in the air, this kid is a Titled Douluo Oh my god, how old he is. When I was his age, I was still in the realm of a great soul master No wonder he can complete a hundred tasks in one day. This battle is really terrifying The fallen ones were dumbfounded.
Such a strong man, are you sure it is you Can you handle it This The look on the seventh elder s face suddenly stiffened, and he asked himself, even if he tried his best, he couldn t kill the Titan instantly.
We only set the rules. They are do 7 eleven sex pills work used to restrain the gods, not to restrain ourselves. Gods cannot go down to the lower world. This is a rule, and it does not say that God The king can t go down to the realm Then again, if I don t go down to the realm, who can bring back the disappeared Douluo plane After hearing the words of the God King of Destruction, the goddess of life nodded, As of now, it s too late.
No, he s going to blow up the ring Back off The faces of the elders of the Haotian Sect showed shock. They all retreated However. They were still one step late. Nine Jue of the Clear Sky, broken After the ring was exploded, Tang Hao s combat power soared, and the Clear Sky Hammer drew out afterimages and hit the four of them.
Qin Xiao asked coldly Tell me, what happened. The cold murderous aura had turned into white mist and taken shape, forming a shadow behind Qin online erectile dysfunction pills Xiao with teeth and claws. Zhao Wuji and Liu Erlong both felt chilled. After the promotion round, I led Zhuqing and others to draw lots, and we got a bye.
That s really a pity. Ah Yin felt a little regretful. Qin Xiao He was speechless again. Ah Yin has not recovered her previous memories, yet she has such a deep hatred for Tang Hao If she knew, it was this man who wanted to make his son prosperous.
Ning Rongrong seems to be better than anyone else. See yourself happy What a failure. My little friend, can you come here and talk about it At this moment, Sword Douluo greeted Qin Xiao with a warm smile on his lips.
I think you misunderstood. Tang San shook his head slightly, If I want to annex the abyss plane, why bother There are better plans than this, right It s best not But I remind you, Stop being curious about opening the Demon Plane, otherwise you are very likely to release those humans trapped in the Demon Plane by me.
On the other hand, Xue Xing shook his head, Xue Beng, you have to remember that the strength of soul masters Male Libido Suppressant Hcg For Low Libido In Females can never be judged simply by looking at their soul power. If that were the case, the soul masters would not need to compete in the soul battle at all and just show their strength.
Even Qin Xiao was shocked. No wonder everyone s cultivation level hasn t improved much, and they are all used to study this thing, right But it should be said or not. Enjoyed it a lot. The next day. early morning. After Qin Xiao woke up, he found that the beautiful figures around him were no longer there.
Okay, okay super hard sex pill That s good. Tang Chen laughed, but soon his smile faded and his expression turned cold. Tang Hao, Tang San and his son keenly discovered something abnormal. The expressions on their faces also became confused. You and your son Just take a good look, should you congratulate me Tang Chen said, and the blood red cloak unfolded. Tang Hao and Tang San both looked over. Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, their minds went blank.
Apart from anything else, he had been thinking about the reward for completing the mission for online erectile dysfunction pills a long time. After locking himself in the room and telling no one not to approach or disturb him, Qin Xiao thought in his mind, Receive it The next moment, he felt a force coming from somewhere and integrated into the soul power in his body.
As far as the eye can see, a large number of abyssal armies appear. In the sky above the abyss army, there are powerful abyss emperors flying one after another. The cultivation level of each of them will not be weaker than that of Titled Douluo. The sound and earthquake that just occurred were because of the powerful Abyss Emperor s action.
Tang Chen, you are going too far Bo Saixi was angry. Tang Chen s attitude made him feel naked disregard. It can even be said to be contemptuous. Tang Chen didn t pay much attention to her Poseidon Island Grand Enshrinement.
You, you have to use the True Dragon Nine Crowns Dean Liu, please calm down and don t turn it on. I, Zhao Wuji, will protect you even if I risk my life If you have a shortcoming, how can I explain it to Your Majesty As a partner, Liu Erlong once showed his strength best male sexual enhancement pills without reservation.
Countless ninety seventh floor of the abyss Creatures were turned into powder during the collapse of the plane, so that the entire abyss plane trembled violently. The disappearance of the plane seed means that the abyss at this level has lost the origin of its existence, and all Male Performance Enhancement For Older Men enzyte 24 7 male enhancement the abyss energy has begun to escape.
The voice fell. Three people walked in. One of them was an old man. He was dressed in rich clothes and had a stout figure, but he was handsome. However, at this time, his brows were tightly knitted together, giving people a A sense of self power without anger.
Lan If the Shrek team is really so strong, then why does Qin Xiao still participate in the competition Isn do ed pills make your penis bigger t it obviously unrealistic How did Qian Renxue know that Qin Xiao was here for extra rewards. at the same time. Rest area for contestants. Meng Yiran asked Zhuqing, your Majesty said when he left, you will take over as captain and command us.
And Qin Xiao, the instigator of all this, hooked on Tang Hao and Tang Xiao Hooking his fingers Come here. Tang Hao o. Brother, I can t bear it. Let s not study how this first soul ring in 100,000 years appeared.
It s a pity Male Performance Enhancement Passion Getting Testosterone Shot For Low Libido In Females that time doesn t allow it, so it s an advantage for you. Tang San said, shaking his head to himself, his voice full of regret. He felt that letting Qian Daoliu die like this would be an advantage for him. Qian Daoliu did not answer, his expression was calm. Under the eyes of the Seraphim.
Serious, a solemn look appeared on his face. They realized that this could very well be a life and death battle. The soul masters in Wuhun City took action one after another and came to the top of the city.
What, a prisoner Dugu Bo s eyes widened. He thought that the third elder swallowed his anger because he wanted to beg for the fairy grass in Qin Xiao s hand. Did he think he was a prisoner What happened Dugubo did not agree immediately, but asked in a deep voice.
Moreover, they also noticed that the strength of these soul masters was generally much stronger than the soul masters in Wuhun City. And the cultivation level of the people who lead these soul masters is only slightly inferior to Qian Daoliu.
After all, Beppu has become someone else s family. It can t be done. He can t think about it anymore. Dugu Bo feels that if pills that help sex drive in males he thinks about it any more, he will be so heartbroken that he can t breathe.
Qin Xiao clenched his left hand, and the ring on his finger flashed with light, and a large rod was The halberd appeared in his hand, its blade shining coldly. This is actually a super artifact The God King of Destruction s pupils shrank suddenly when he saw this.
Why is this Tang Chen s mentality collapsed. How could he have thought that Qin Xiao was the successor chosen by Poseidon After all, Poseidon Island has been inherited for so long, and there has never been anyone who has been the inheritor However, he didn t expect this, but he remembered another thing.
But what he knew was shocking enough. Qin Xiao was a titled Douluo level powerhouse, and his strength was even higher than his own. Even the two priests Qianjun and Jiangmo, who were one level higher than them, folded their feathers and returned home in front of Qin Xiao.
But as leaders, neither Bibi Dong nor Qian Daoliu showed joy like others. Instead, they frowned. Because they noticed what Qin Xiao said just now, if we can kill more enemies Then the question is, where should we go to kill the enemies Brother Qin, just tell me what we need to do if we want to get help from the will of the plane.
When his voice fell, everyone in the Tiandou Royal Team reacted immediately. The captain of the Tiandou Royal Team and the woman beside him stood motionless. The five muscular members behind them came and stood in a row in front of them, protecting them like a human wall. On the other hand, the people on Team Shrek s side seemed disorganized.
How powerful is it to be able to open a space channel Unconsciously, the way people looked at Qin Xiao also changed. gradually. The space passage gradually grew larger, turning into a huge portal ten meters high and seven or eight meters wide.
That is becoming a god However, this matter has been discussed among many forces for a long time. I ll come first. Behind Qian Daoliu, a white haired old man walked out. Qin Xiao s eyes flickered, it was actually Golden Crocodile Douluo He didn t expect Wuhun Palace to be willing to spend such a large amount of money and dispatch ninety eighth level titled Douluo experts from the very beginning.
It was obvious that he really cared about Qin Xiao. Don t be anxious. If you think about it carefully, you will understand everything. Qin Xiao crossed his arms and said with a faint smile. They were stunned at first, confused, shocked Yes, and panicked Dugu Bo said one by one, In this way, the father and son are, that eager pace is not like seeking revenge, but more like escaping for life After thinking about it carefully, Dugu Bo nodded heavily, Yes, they are just running for their lives Could it be that they are hiding from Qin Xiao Dugubo s heart was shaken, and he was shocked by the conclusion he just came to.
The Lord is making a will After hearing Gu Yuena s words, Di Tian s heart trembled. He gritted his teeth and tried hard to control his emotions and not show his sadness. But tears still flowed out of the corners of his eyes. He had no choice but to lower his head so that Gu Yuena could not see his expression. However. What he didn t know was that after Gu Yuena said those words, the figure had quietly disappeared.
At the bottom, Qin Xiao also discovered the name of Ghost Leopard Douluo. In front of the many spiritual tablets, there was a woman in a black dress standing, looking at Qin Xiao with very calm eyes. Although he only met Bibi Dong a few times, Qin Xiao recognized her at a glance. I have to say, Bibi Dong is really beautiful. Her long hair was hanging casually, and she didn t wear any gorgeous headdress on her head.
Looking at Qian Renxue again, it s understandable that Qin Xiao feels a little resentful, right It s just that I can t stay here any longer Anyway, I have one more thing that I want to try Qin Xiao thought about this and said to everyone, You guys go ahead, I have a few more things to do.
Task description Because your cultivation level is not high and your strength is not strong, you are not favored by Flanders and cannot join the participating teams in the continent wide soul master competition.
In such a large medicine field, if all the elixirs were clint eastwood sex pills sold, how many hundred million gold soul coins would it cost Hiss Even Qin Xiao has always been indifferent to money. Interesting, but thinking about such a huge number is also extremely tempting.
The entire Thunder Emperor City was in a state of excitement today. From the moment the sun rose, the cheers in the city never stopped. On the street, there were crowds of people, all wanting to see the true appearance of His Majesty the Thunder Emperor. Yes. For those who have never met Qin Xiao, his appeal is much greater than that of the bride.
If it doesn t work, just do some sit ups, right This. Bo Saixi frowned. Qin Xiao moved Poseidon out and suppressed her to death. This also calmed down her relatively excited mood a lot. Then is there a possibility that His Majesty Poseidon wants you to use a relatively gentle method after you have sufficient cultivation It s impossible, I am so tough in doing things. Qin Xiao shook his head decisively. Male Libido Suppressant Hcg For Low Libido In Females As the voice fell, a golden light enveloped Qin Xiao.
He raised his hands high and suddenly grasped them. The terrifying purple lightning was pulled by invisible force and turned into a hammer in his hands. Hiss, he is worthy of being rated as a strong person comparable to him by the great worshipper.
Xiao Bai became more and more puzzled. Why are you still standing there Why don t you go quickly Qin Xiao frowned. He was working so hard here to set up, is this guy Xiaobai watching the fun Besides, even if he is watching, the magical power what would happen if a woman took male enhancement pills derived from the thunder emperor s treasure art sect, Thunder Transformation is it safe to mix weed with ed pills into Stars, is that it can comprehend Is it transparent Even Qin Xiao, let alone Xiaobai, was very unfamiliar with this newly realized magical power.
Oh, it s level 30 Going to hunt for souls Dai Mubai and the other two nodded, not paying attention at first. But, the next moment, they online erectile dysfunction pills suddenly woke up. Wait Teacher Zhao, you said Zhu Zhuqing went to hunt for souls at level 30 How old is she She is already at level 30 More importantly, she was only at level 26 when she entered school.
What s going on Ah Yin s cultivation level is improving too fast, isn t it Ning Rongrong was already stunned. Her eyes widened and her chin almost dropped to the ground. Something unknown must have happened to Ah Yin, and I don t know whether it is good or bad.
However, he swung the huge divine hammer and broke the six claws. The two front claws of the Demon Emperor. On the other hand, the Six clawed Demon Emperor became even more angry, and was extremely frightened.
Of course, if you are in trouble, forget it. Seeing Sword Douluo s hesitation, Qin Xiao said again. After all, he didn t get Ning Fengzhi s money for nothing. The opportunity was given to Sword Douluo, and it was up to him whether he would succeed or not.
At this moment, Meng Shenji sent a message to the two of them. President, we seniors, why don t we join forces to test a junior Bai Baoshan hesitated. Don t you think that I, the chairman of the Education Committee, can t handle a boy with dignity Meng Shenji responded angrily.
After a long time, the attack of the Nine Headed Dark Gold Bat King began to weaken, and finally he was Tang Chen s mental power was squeezed into a corner. There is no doubt that Tang Chen is the final winner in this mental battle.
In this way, his consumption recovered a lot. It seems that he can t wait until Jin Crocodile and others kill the big demon before helping him Qian Daoliu thought to himself, stretched out his hand, and a holy sword condensed by light appeared in his online erectile dysfunction pills hand.
Do you still want to cut this If I don t wait and see, maybe I can harvest a hundred thousand year soul beast as a mount Qin Xiao solemnly nodded, You can go without worry, your emperor will be left to me.
Immediately afterwards, a huge golden shadow appeared over the sea. He was dressed in golden armor and looked extremely handsome. It is the incarnation of Qin Xiao Your Majesty, Poseidon Your Majesty, Poseidon Voices filled with excitement and ecstasy kept ringing out.
In a remote town, I wanted to find Dai Mubai and fight against the miserable fate with her. However, what did Dai Mubai do when he escaped to this remote town He was intoxicated with money, drunken life and death, and was happy.
Qin Xiao did not cheat. He is indeed under vitals premium female enhancement pills 25 years old, or even just turned 20. Bibi Dong s voice was very clear, but But it can be heard clearly by everyone present. However, such a light and fluttering sound sounded like thunder in everyone s ears. Did I hear you correctly His Majesty the Pope said that boy is 20 years old A 20 year old Titled Douluo level powerhouse, how is this possible Tang Hao, who was once known as the youngest Titled Douluo, was also in his forties.
Dugu, what you have in your hand is extraordinary. It s called Youxiangqi. It s known as online erectile dysfunction pills the killer of hundreds of poisons. You and your granddaughter Take one of each, and then force the rx1 male enhancement pros and cons remaining toxins in the body into a piece of control male enhancement side effects soul bone, and the Jade Lin Snake poison will be eliminated.
After studying many books, he came to the conclusion. There are some magical medicines and Best Over The Counter Male Sex Enhancer online erectile dysfunction pills fairy grass that can make people achieve breakthroughs in cultivation. Yu Xiaogang Humph, trash is trash. If you don t have enough potential, you just think about these evil ways.
However, the ninth ring on Tang Hao s body looks a little dull. This pills to enhance erection is because the last time he faced Qin Xiao, he used the secret method of ring explosion, and it has not passed the online erectile dysfunction pills cooling period. Brother Hao, you If you have old wounds, just stay by your side and hold on for me.
Besides, for the sake of the third elder, they had to take action against Tang Hao. Second brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother, don t be stunned and take action together, right The seventh elder spoke up again.
At this time, the entire Douluo Alliance, or the prominent figures in the Federation came. Bibi Dong sat on the throne and announced three things. First, she Her cultivation level broke through to the god level.
But Dugu Bo added faintly Yeah. Very scary, right Although he was responding to Prince Xuexing, his do pennis pills work eyes never left Qin Xiao. He felt amazing pressure on this young man. A hundred thousand year soul ring is really unreasonable.
He doubted whether the man in front of him had a hole in his head. Come forward. Li Yusong had already put away the dragon pattern stick martial spirit and asked Qin Xiao to come forward. However, Qin Xiao shook his head, There is no need to test my age. I am already eighteen years old this year. Eighteen Isn t it clear what Teacher Li just said At this moment, his eyes widened.
Haotian Douluo is one of the most talented people on the Douluo Continent, and the Haotian Sect is the strongest sect on the Douluo Continent. One of the sects. With both parties joining forces, it will be easy to deal with Qin Xiao.
Ghost Douluo was thinking, how about finding a time to talk to the three of them so that they could have time to let go and do some good deeds After returning to his wild thoughts all the Male Libido Suppressant Hcg For Low Libido In Females way, Ghost Douluo returned to the Pope s Palace.
Xue Qinghe was startled and asked in a low voice. Qin Xiao asked back, Your Highness must know about the Force Clan, right Xue Qinghe nodded subconsciously, Yes, even now the matter is spreading throughout Tiandou City Wait a minute What I mean is that the initiator of this incident Xue Qinghe said, his face suddenly changed, and he looked at Qin Xiao in disbelief.
Immediately, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head. Fourth brother I won t speak anymore. The seventh elder said weakly and sat back in his seat strangely. Everyone must want to know who this person Does Low Male Libido Affect Fertility is, and I won t give it away. This person s name is Qin Xiao, and he is a teenager. But behind him, there is probably a title fighter hidden behind him.
At the beginning, there were more than just two sons, me and your father. But what about now Hearing this, Xue Beng s pupils suddenly shrank, and he felt a chill running down his spine, Then you mean I just want to tell you, don t be too naive.
This is the right place. According to King Kung Male Performance Enhancement records, the Blue Silver Emperor is behind the waterfall. Immediately Come to the bottom of the waterfall and go upstream. With little effort, he discovered a deep cave entrance.
Tang Hao said in a deep voice again Let me say it again, I only want Meng Yiran. Ge, you are already late, she has already refined the soul bone. Even if she appears, you will not be able to remove it.
The next moment, nine soul rings came from Qin Xiao appeared at his feet. This kid actually possesses a hundred thousand year old soul ring The Demonic Great White Shark King instantly let out an angry voice.
The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King said, and powerful soul power was released from his body, forming purple streaks The light wraps it in it. Qin Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. After a moment, the purple light dissipated, and a man wearing purple armor walked out.
Uncle Jian, why can t I see his purpose Ning Fengzhi shook his head, This is an honest conspiracy. But the value of this set of soul bones is too great. If nothing else, with Tang Xiao The set of soul bones left behind is enough for you and Uncle Gu to perfect the soul bones on your body.
Qin Xiao smiled slightly when he saw this. Don t mention it, it is still very interesting to make Ning Rongrong feel embarrassed. However, he quickly stopped smiling and said to Meng Yiran and Zhu Zhuqing The place I want to take you to is extremely dangerous.
Glancing at the hole where the stone statue behind him was kicked by Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu smacked his lips, Tsk, tsk, tsk. Look at the few kicks you just made. You need at least three gold soul coins to repair it.
Broken, invalid Collapse, invalid Blocked, invalid After performing nine moves in a row, Tang San s eyes twitched crazily. Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny. Not to mention opening the light curtain.
However, the most precious treasure in the soul master world did not attract more attention at this moment. Almost everyone gathered on the only two survivors in front of the ruins. That s right. Among the several Soul Douluo and twenty purple rhino side effects male enhancement or thirty Soul Saints, only Emperor Xingluo and Hu Yanzhen were left. Hu Yanzhen even lay on the ground covered in charred black. After struggling for a few times, he finally gave up on getting up.
In front of Yu Luomian was the leader of the Wind Sword Sect, an eighty eighth level Soul Douluo. In his hand was a blue long sword with a flash of cold light. It was as nimble as a poisonous snake, moving straight towards the vital point.
What s wrong with asking her to pay some now You know, she is just a useless person. A useless person in exchange for a titled Douluo, I believe she should know what to do. After the fourth elder finished speaking, everyone fell silent. Hey, our Haotian Sect has actually fallen to the point where we have to trade a woman for peace After a moment, the seventh elder couldn t help but sigh.
In the blink of an eye, six of the nine soul rings on his body had exploded. The increase in strength brought about by the ring explosion finally slightly weakened Wu Ding Fengbo s control. He could barely react. He stretched out his left hand and grabbed the golden scepter. Shura s divine power and soul power poured out crazily, trying hard to suppress the power on the scepter to prevent it from exploding.
In a deserted mountain range, on an unknown peak. Tang San couldn t help but mutter, Useless trash, he is a god, and you are a god too, so scared of your balls. Just fuck him, so what if you die Where are your two souls, are you afraid of him There is no doubt.
He whispered. After listening to Xue Beng, everyone was silenced by him. Is this considered the ignorant and fearless At the same time, they are also very good. To kill a titled Douluo with a thousand cuts, there are several steps Hiss You dare to say anything, and you want to cut a titled Douluo into pieces with a thousand cuts. Luo You are so awesome, why don t you go to heaven Let alone you, even your boss would not dare to say this Prince Snow Star was so angry that he couldn t bear it anymore.
Your Majesty, I wonder what your orders are. Sea Dragon Douluo, the head of the Seven Sacred Pillars, asked in a deep voice. Qin Xiao directly expressed his thoughts to Sea Dragon Douluo, I order you to gather all the people in the shortest possible time and arrange as many people as possible on several large islands around Poseidon Island.
He was willing to stand on a warship with Qin Xiao and fight against the Haotian Sect. Qin Xiao would not refuse. At the beginning, Wasn t selling Ning Fengzhi Tang Xiao s soul bone just to pit the two sects against each other Now, his goal was achieved.
But are we really just waiting like this Liu Erlong was a little anxious. Several hellhounds were killed by Flanders and Zhao Wuji one after another. Not only were these creatures from the demonic plane girl on sleeping pills sex not afraid, but they were even more excited. He even continued to howl, causing more companions to gather here.
It can be seen from this that the power of the natural disaster is not easy to withstand. Even if he did not die, he still lost half of his life. But I finally got through it, didn t I After the anger, jamaican drink for male enhancement the beloved Demon Whale King felt joy in his heart.
This is the most critical moment. Can it bear the divine power is the key. Tang San s eyes flashed, and his heart was filled with tension. At this moment, Tang San even felt like his online erectile dysfunction pills days were like years.
Don t worry, ancestor, we are not going anywhere. On the other side. Returning to Lanba Academy again, Qin Xiao was a little surprised. Flanders, Zhao Wuji, and Liu Erlong were not here. My lord, you are back. In front of the dormitory door, Ah Yin saw Qin Xiao s returning figure and was stunned.
Its power has far online erectile dysfunction pills exceeded the Titan Sky Cannon it released just now At the same time, in such a terrifying attack, the huge Seven Kills Sword, which was a hundred feet high, also shattered in the violent attack Ahem The dense forest was already in a mess.
Qin Xiao had already discovered that a woman wearing a blue how do the sex pills work robe was coming quickly. Under that robe, there was something that ordinary girls could not She was so excited that she looked particularly turbulent while running.
The next moment, he felt a power coming from somewhere and integrated into the soul power in his body. His cultivation level began to improve at this time. Click. Not long after, Qin Xiao seemed to hear a crisp sound, but it was a little unreal.
First level soul power and online erectile dysfunction pills two hundred thousand year soul rings are a simple and crude way to improve your strength. Needless to say. However, the Thunder Emperor Armor is different. That was the Thunder Emperor s former armor. Even if it was incomplete, its power was immeasurable.
Someone is really coming Duke Long said in a deep voice The School of Beasts, this is not a place you can force your way into. At the same time, at the gate of the academy, two students stopped a strange man covered in a black cloak.
At every turn. What s the situation Are they going to launch a stronger attack Everyone was startled and became wary. Golden Crocodile Douluo even loudly reminded everyone to pay attention to their defense.
When the Eight Spider Spears come out, who can compete with me Three Bloody Marys, online erectile dysfunction pills Black Widow wins I still think Netherworld can win. Her shots are clean and neat, without any unnecessary movements, and the kill only takes online erectile dysfunction pills a split second.
You are the real master behind the Star Luo Empire. I will also do my best to help you govern the Star Luo Empire. Yuluo Mian was extremely envious. They are the same people, so why is the gap quick erection pills reviews so big The Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family paid a heavy price, but they only received Qin Xiao s forgiveness.
He secretly sent a message to Bai Baoshan, with a surprise that could not be concealed in his voice. Yes. Bai Baoshan responded heavily, increasing the output of soul power pressure. Level 50, level 60, level 70 But he felt more and more that something was wrong. Why did this kid always look bad Can t bear it anymore the other side.
It s already dead. Qin Xiao replied dully. That s right, the Evil Killer Whale King died. Under the bombardment of seven thunder stars, nothing was left except a soul bone. At the same time, he also took out the soul bone taken from the evil killer whale king and showed it to Xiaobai.
The largest conference room in Thunder Academy was almost full. And the worst people who could attend the conference here were all Soul Saint level experts. The above is my designated assassination plan Everyone If you don t have any other ideas, just implement this plan.
He was confident that under the God of Death Domain, he could break Zhao Wuji s defense. Purple Lightning Domain Boom. Several thunderbolts suddenly descended from the sky, and the online erectile dysfunction pills area where Tang Hao was located has turned into a pool of thunder.
It was extremely fast, like a meteorite. Boom An earth shattering sound sounded, and a splash of water hundreds of meters high rose up on the sea. A circle of invisible ripples spread out, destroying everything in its path.
His weathered eyes seemed to have seen through the world a long time ago, I called you here just to inform you of my decision, not to ask for Male Libido Suppressant Hcg For Low Libido In Females your opinion, and I There are a few more things I want to tell you.
However, the system did not answer. Qin Xiao knew that the system was hopeless. I have completely given up on treatment for myself. Ma Hongjun, I beg you to let me go. I really can t stand it anymore At this time, Cuihua was still struggling. Hey, you struggle, the more you struggle, the more excited I am. Ma Hongjun grabbed Cuihua s arm Male Orgasm Enhancement Technique online erectile dysfunction pills and smiled.
It s Qin Xiao who is the one responsible for them all. The more Qian Daoliu watched, the more angry he became. How could that annoying boy be obsessed with his granddaughter He left irresponsibly, and it has been nearly three years since he left.
How dare he let his own attacks fall Who are he looking down on But, at the next moment, the Six clawed Demon King knew. That person looked down on himself. I saw the dust disperse. Tang San still stood on the spot intact, and commented calmly, The attack power is enough, and he is not considered weak on Douluo Continent.
Mr. Qin, don t get me wrong. The money is just to express my apology. Seeing Qin Xiao s unwillingness to take down the black card, Prince Xuexing gritted his teeth and said, Mr. Qin, as long as he is willing to sit down and talk again, Let s talk, you can agree to any conditions, I will be satisfied if I can, and if I am satisfied, I will try my best to satisfy you Prince Xuexing s voice was resounding.
If we want to win, we have no choice. Do you refuse because you want us to admit defeat Compared with my personal face, I care more about the glory of Wuhun do erection pills prolong ejaculation Palace. As the captain, Xie Yue has his own considerations. And he has always known that he carries the honor of Wuhun Palace.
I am the chief of the Academic Affairs Committee, Meng Shenji. As he Best Over The Counter Male Sex Enhancer online erectile dysfunction pills spoke, Meng Shenji pointed to the old fat man on his left and said This is the second chair of the college s education committee, Baibaoshan Contra.
In his heart, he had already accepted this fact. Now, do you still think there is a problem A smile appeared on Qin Xiao s face. He waved his hand gently, and thunder exploded in the sky. The powerful soul pressure suddenly broke out and fell on Zhao Wuji.
I can give you whatever you want. And we, Haotian Sect, have many strong men. If I die, you will be in big trouble Even a person like Tang Xiao is full of fear in the face of death. I m just a sect s shrunken turtle. Do you think I will be afraid Even if they don t come to me, I will fight against the Haotian Sect Qin Xiao shook his head and did not take Haotian Sect into his eyes at all.
Soul Master level soul masters have been promoted by an average of five levels each. Soul Zong level and Soul King level soul masters have been promoted by an average of four levels. Soul Emperor Level, Soul Saint level soul masters have been promoted by two levels on average. Contra level soul masters have also been promoted by one level on average.
After that, Qin Xiao and Liu Erlong talked a lot in the yard. Most of the time, Liu Erlong was talking and Qin Xiao was listening, and only occasionally Qin Xiao would add a few words. He tried to use this method to make up for the vacancy of the past three years.
The stronger Sword Douluo is, the more he can arouse Qin Xiao s fighting spirit Come out Thunder Titan Immediately, he no longer hid, and the first soul ring on his body actually separated from Qin Xiao.
He could not forget the majestic figure who faced Tang Chen outside Poseidon Island. All of this which over htte counter male enhancement pills have the same ingrediants shocked him deeply and gave him a deep understanding of Qin Xiao s power. Maintaining respect is the most basic awe of the strong. Can you ask the guardian for a favor Qin Xiao asked straight to the point. You can ask your Majesty whatever you have asked. Don t be polite.
So he nodded heavily, Leave it to me, Master Ning. Senior Jian, you can go with peace of mind Sword Douluo Why do I feel that this is not a good thing However, he also knew that now was not the time to care so much.
Your Majesty, something serious has happened. Your Majesty. A guard covered in blood rushed into the hall and shouted loudly. The hall suddenly fell into deathly silence. Tell me, what s going on Emperor Xingluo s face was as cold as frost, and his eyes were almost narrowed into a thin line.
You all have come a long way and it s been very hard. An area of rest has been prepared for you in Wuhun City. Please come with me. One of the cardinals spoke how to take contraceptive pills after unprotected sex slowly after approaching. His attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, neither far nor near, which makes people neither fond of him nor ill willed. The other cardinal also made a gesture of invitation in a very cooperative manner.
These two guys are really so shameless. Do they have to tell the humiliation they suffered in Douluo Continent before they give up Poseidon and the old Shura God couldn t help but look at each other. Red. The two of them were only thinking about the issue of the divine position just now, and how could they care about the God King of Destruction.
Zhao Wuji Qin Xiao recognized the other party, and then his expression suddenly changed. Looking at the panic stricken Zhao Wuji, his murderous intent could no longer be controlled and burst out. Your Majesty, I m sorry for you Zhao Wuji s voice was full of grief. At this time, he was extremely embarrassed, his clothes were messy, and even stained with bright red blood.
In that case, all the preparations that have been made for so long will be in online erectile dysfunction pills Ministry of Health vain. You said that I will recognize you as my master for one year, but within this year, you will not force me to do anything, just to restrain me from hurting others casually, right Qin Xiao nodded, and then casually Said That s it.
On the other hand, the will of the plane is also very calm, Your cultivation level is at least equivalent to the realm of a first level god. The word weak in front of you now can describe me. With your cultivation level, you want to ban me, or It s just a snap of your fingers to erase me.
Moreover, the crazy woman online erectile dysfunction pills enzyte 24 7 male enhancement in front of me is also extraordinary. I conclude that she is also the inheritor of the divine throne. And the divine throne she inherited is very likely to be a first level divine throne.
Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded, looking at Snake Spear Douluo s leaving figure, secretly thinking that everything would be in time. However. Not long after Snake Spear Douluo left, he ran back in a panic.
Tang Chen s voice was extremely complicated. He regretted it. As early as today, no matter what the price was paid, Qin Xiao was still going to be strangled in the cradle. It s a pity, it s such a pity. If the opportunity is missed, there will be no more, Qin Xiaoya is no longer someone he can easily knead.
Qin Xiao s concerned voice also reached Bo Saixi s ears, Male Performance Enhancement Passion Getting Testosterone Shot For Low Libido In Females Are you OK fine. Bo Saixi s mind wandered for a moment, and she turned her back to Qin Xiao and shook her head. As she said that, she took another step forward and stood with her staff, still keeping a little distance from Qin Xiao. Above in the air. Tang Chen He also stabilized his figure. Xixi, you actually protected him How can you protect him Tang Chen was stunned by Bo Saixi s actions, with a look of disbelief on his face.
about the matter of the Ice and Fire Eyes and the Immortal Grass, the teacher discovered it in the classics of Wuhun Palace, and said it was a secret that was not passed down. Tang online erectile dysfunction pills San pretended to be thoughtful and continued Furthermore, he also told me about several powerful immortal herbs, which can not only improve a person s cultivation level, but also cut hair and cleanse marrow to improve physical fitness.
She felt I feel sorry for both Er Ming and Daming. However, I have to lie for Tang San Fortunately, Xiao Wu is on my side Tang San secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xiao Wu s words. After all, it was Xiao Wu who carried everything on his own. Human Human again Daming roared while rolling on the lake.
Seventh Elder, long time no see. Tang Hao s expression was very complicated. Then, he looked around again, Since the other elders are here, let s also show up together. Swish, swish. As the voice fell, three piercing sounds rang out, and the second elder, fourth elder, and fifth elder also revealed themselves from the east, south, and west directions. The five elders and the five elders became invisible and formed an encirclement.
Your Majesty, you Flanders suddenly noticed that Qin Xiao was also moving. If you have nothing to do, you have nothing to do. I ll go and have a look. Qin Xiao said and walked out Boss Dai, Fatty, listen to the bell. Outside the academy, Oscar said hurriedly. Let s go back to the academy first. Dai Mubai said in a deep voice.
Oscar quickly agreed, Yes, Boss Dai, maybe things are not what we think. Maybe they are yes, they are practicing Cultivation Do you have to shout so loudly for practicing Do you think I have never practiced before Dai Mubai s eyes were red, his whole body was shaking, and his teeth were about to be broken.
He watched Qin Xiao walk up to the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar. My heart was lifted. If Sea Dragon Douluo were killed, then the guardians of their sacred pillars would be really embarrassed. soon. The battle begins. They could all see Sea Dragon Douluo transforming into a sea dragon that was more than ten meters long, roaring with a ferocious expression, and rushed towards Qin Xiao. At the same time, he didn t care too much, and the soul rings on his body lit up one after another, like flashlights.
He online erectile dysfunction pills has fully demonstrated what it means to be flexible and flexible I take back what I just said. From now on, I will You regard me as an opponent of the same level, little friend, be careful Sword Douluo s online erectile dysfunction pills voice became a little more solemn. | <urn:uuid:cffc439f-714b-48e5-900b-67d1443d6322> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.health.go.ug/sex-pills/online-erectile-dnyi-dysfunction-pills/ | 2024-04-14T23:22:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.976429 | 11,935 |
Here are two articles concerning the use of aromatherapy in unusual places: Got Peppermint? shows that even schools are experimenting with the benefits of aromatherapy.
CPMC Gives Aromatherapy a Whiff: Having a positive attitude toward aromatherapy helps it work better: "You have to have the belief that aromatherapy is going to work. There's a lot of mental stuff going on." Of course, it's not just the "aroma" part of aromatherapy that's important - the essential value of each plant oil comes wrapped up in the same molecule that happens to contain the plant's scent - hence the root of the word "aromatherapy." So the word is not so much telling us that it's the smell that's affecting our mood - but rather the properties of what's affecting our mood happens to smell. | <urn:uuid:3eb5932a-2fd9-49d8-96b2-74bd5b6b6f27> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.heliotropesf.com/blogs/news/12525857-aromatherapy-in-the-world | 2024-04-15T00:50:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.951104 | 176 |

I have two of my horses on the Multi-flex Gold. My 10 year old horse got flattened as a foal and has lived with a low grade issue from this which means he finds it harder to step through on one hind limb. With the multiflex I have noticed an improvement in his stride length behind and he seems more comfortable and not as stiff in his ridden work. My other a 17 year old welsh pony feels the cold and looks stiff I find this helps keep him comfortable as well. Thank you Hilton Herbs.

Ordered Multiflex Gold a couple of weeks ago, after a very helpful web chat with Kate. It was delivered two days after placing the order - thank you very much for the speedy delivery. My mare has now been on it 6 days and the stiffness has eased (not gone completely, think the physio will need to visit) and she has certainly got her get up and go back. Thank you very much, another great product from Hilton Herbs.

Ribbon - 'retired' dairy goat. Saanan. Aged about 10. Ribbon had been a little 'quiet' for a few days, wanting a bit more fuss and attention than usual, not wanting to stand at the hayrack for long, getting up late, going to bed early, laying down when she would usually be grazing with her companion. Otherwise showing no other obvious signs. Called our vet but she was unable to visit unless an emergency - due to the Covid-19 Lock Down. After about a week of this, I saw that Ribbon was limping on her left front leg, able to bear weight but clearly not happy. Her 'knee' looked very slightly swollen and felt slightly warm, hoof seemed to be OK. Our vet was still unable to visit, however, she was happy for me to contact Hilton Herbs (as she knows we've had such good results from their products in the past - with our goats, greyhounds and chickens). I spoke to Kate at HH and explained the situation. Kate suggested I try using the equine Multi-Flex Gold that I already had in the cupboard, she suggested how much I should give explaining that it would take up to a week to get into Ribbons system. Kate also suggested giving Ribbon some cleavers, comfrey and nettles plus some hawthorn tops all things I could pick from my own land (under the Lock Down we are having problems getting mail/deliveries etc as in a very isolated place). I started Ribbon on this regime immediately. I put the Multi-Flex Gold on to her food twice a day and she took it without any problem (seemed to really like the taste). Within a few days she had really perked up and after week she was no longer limping and back to her usual, mischievous, naughty self.

When I got my hunter back in after his summer holiday he felt stiff and lacked lustre. I have put him back onto Multiflex Gold and a week later he is a different horse, much more supple and enjoying his work again. Thank you Hilton herbs, great product.
- Billie-Anne Warren, 06/09/2019
Just about to re-order the Multiflex gold. I was in the process of changing supplements for my 20yr old TB/WB who has foot & joint issues. After consulting the guys at Hilton Herbs, they confirmed that the Multiflex Gold would be ok to feed alongside Farriers Formula & he's doing really well on it. Thank you Hilton Herbs for giving my boy his bounce back.

Since being on the Multiflex Liquid Gold my pony feels 10 years younger. His physio said he flexed more like a 12 year old not a 22 year old. Such a good feeling. He is stabled most of the time due to cushings and EMS so his mobility and flex is really important. Can't recommend this product enough. He also showed signs of improvement very quickly when I started the supplement.
- Jasmine Morphew, 17/04/2019
I am very pleased with the result of giving Multi-Flex Gold to my mare who was having problems walking up and down hilly fields. I can thoroughly recommend this product.
- Jenny Keir, 01/10/2018
I have been using this product for several years for my horses and would highly recommend it!
- Emma Howley, 10/09/2018
I bought Multiflex Gold as I have a ID/TB who has mobility issues and this definitely fitted the bill. There was definite improvement in two weeks starting off on the recommended amount and since he has been on this now for five months I have been able to reduce the recommended amount and he still feels good. Thank you Hilton Herbs.
- Sarah Bates, 04/12/2017
I love it! My horse is moving better and feeling good!
- Mrs A Ingraham, 09/01/2017
I have been giving my horse MultiFlex, and previously Reflex, for many years now since his stride began to shorten as a teenager. At 29 years of age he is still coming out of his stable with a spring in his step so I shan't stop now!
- Alison Speight, 16/12/2013
I bought this as I was desperate and after reading the previous reviews seemed like it would fit the bill. Well what an amazing product and I used it in conjunction with the TLC and would highly recommend both products, thanks Hilton herbs for yet another fab product.
- Kirsty Gladwyn, 07/06/2013
I would like to thank-you from the bottom of my heart for your products. My farrier, Leif Erickson recommended you for months in his quiet way. I was spending a lot of money to no avail. I finally ordered the Multi -Flex Gold product. Keep in mind that I had not been able to brush my horse let alone exercise or ride him for 6 months. Prior to that it was very intermittent, he'd be ok for a week, then off for weeks. A pattern that had gone on for 3 years. After one month on your product, Dually's eye changed and I knew he was comfortable. I round penned him for 10 minutes the first day of work. The next I rode him for 15. Five days later we hosted a Josh Lyons clinic at my barn, and I rode Dually all day for three days!!!!! He was truly the best going horse in the clinic and I hadn't schooled him in more than a half a year.,I have recommended you to all my clients, clinic attendees, and fellow barn owners. Thank-you, Thank-you, Thank-you for giving me my wonderful 6 year old gelding back. You gave gained a lifelong client.

Tempers run high in HP assembly as Sukhu, Jai Ram lock horns over govt jobs
Participating in the budget debate, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) member Trilok Jamwal alleged during his budget speech that the Congress had pledged to provide one lakh government jobs in their first cabinet meeting, and failed to deliver
Tensions ran high in the Himachal Pradesh assembly on Tuesday as discussions on budget estimates escalated into a heated debate over government job promises. Chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu and leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur found themselves at odds over the issue, with Sukhu challenging Jai ram to produce a purported document promising one lakh government jobs annually.
Participating in the budget debate, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) member Trilok Jamwal alleged during his budget speech that the Congress had pledged to provide one lakh government jobs in their first cabinet meeting, and failed to deliver. Sukhu vehemently denied this claim, asserting that the Congress had instead promised to create one lakh employment opportunities per year.
Jai ram countered by presenting a guarantee from the Congress, purportedly promising one lakh government jobs annually, which he read from his mobile device. Sukhu dismissed the document as fake, emphasising the unreliability of social media sources and challenging Jai Ram to provide credible evidence.
Sukhu reiterated that the Congress had committed to generating one lakh jobs annually, without specifying government positions. He called for tangible evidence from Jai Ram and insisted on placing any such document on the House table for verification.
Sukhu said that deemed one lakh government jobs as misleading propaganda on social media and pledged government action against such misinformation. Despite the initial tension, the House eventually resumed discussions after the clarification
Earlier, BJP MLA and former speaker Vipin Singh Parmar launched a scathing attack on the government. He criticised various aspects of the state’s governance, ranging from health services to the Congress party’s ten guarantees.
Parmar lambasted the government, asserting the apparent difference between the current budget and its predecessor. He said the state government was distorting facts and failing to deliver on promises made in previous budgets.
Drawing attention to the allocation of funds for MLAs, Parmar questioned the government’s decision to increase MLA funds by ₹10 lakh while he highlighted the closure of numerous institutions under their administration. He urged the government to prioritise reopening these institutions before announcing new initiatives.
Parmar also aimed the Congress party’s ten guarantees, noting that a year had passed without any significant progress on fulfilling these promises. He contrasted this with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s fulfilment of his commitments, such as the abrogation of Article 370 and the construction of the Ram Temple.
The BJP MLA attacked the government’s handling of disaster relief efforts, citing delays in disbursing funds to affected individuals. He lamented the collapse of health services in the state, highlighting the failure of schemes like Ayushman and Sahara Yojana to reach patients effectively.
Agriculture minister Chandra Kumar defended the government’s budget, emphasising its focus on revitalizing the state’s economy. Kumar outlined plans for organic farming initiatives, including the purchase of cow dung fertiliser from farmers at a subsidised rate of ₹3 per kilogram. He praised Sukhu for his efforts to mitigate the impact of the disaster through a special economic package.
The issue of junior office assistant (JOA-IT) recruitment echoed in the assembly. Congress MLA Rajendra Rana urged the government to declare the result of JOA IT recruitment exam.
Supporting the budget, Rana welcomed the government’s announcement of providing education to the children of widows along with the Sukhashraya Scheme. He said that in the budget, along with increasing the honorarium of temporary employees, it has also been announced to increase the honorarium and daily wage of anganwadi, asha workers, elected representatives of panchayats and many other sections, but the government is yet to declare the result of JOA IT candidates. We should also think about posting them.
Rana said that he along with Dharamshala MLA Sudhir Sharma met JOA IT candidates sitting on strike at Chaura Maidan. He said the candidates are upset due to the non-declaration of the result of the recruitment examination.
Many of these candidates are standing on the threshold of crossing the ceiling of government jobs. | <urn:uuid:af240dcb-3310-4913-bcdc-98de77f41f92> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/chandigarh-news/tempers-run-high-in-hp-assembly-as-sukhu-jai-ram-lock-horns-over-govt-jobs-101708459662813.html | 2024-04-15T00:50:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.956212 | 930 |
Verbal spat erupts in Assembly between ruling and opposition MLAs over infra projects
On the other hand, Congress MLA and Mumbai unit chief of the party Varsha Gaikwad targeted Bharatiya Janata Party and prime minister Narendra Modi over the Adani bagged Dharavi redevelopment project. “The ‘friend’ is getting all contracts right from Dharavi to the airport colony
Mumbai: Ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, ruling parties moved a long-duration debate motion on infrastructure projects in the city showcasing the development projects under implementation in the city. In the attempt, they also took potshots at the opposition leading to verbal exchanges between the treasury and opposition benches.
Mumbai BJP chief and Bandra MLA Ashish Shelar while opening the debate in the lower house on Wednesday, demanded a white paper on the inequitable supply of water to the citizens in the city and held the Thackeray faction of Sena responsible for it, while Congress MLA Varsha Gaikwad attacked BJP and Adani Group over the redevelopment of Dharavi.
Shelar said that the BMC which was controlled by the Thackeray family over the last 25 years could not give adequate water to the citizens despite spending ₹30,000 crore. “The round-the-clock water supply drive has failed and needs to be investigated thoroughly to bring the facts behind it to the fore. The government should publish a white paper on it. The city and suburbs are witnessing inequitable and inadequate water supply and the Thackeray family who controlled the BMC for over 25 years should be held responsible for it. The civic body implemented a round-the-clock water supply scheme as a pilot project and paid ₹400 crore to the consultant. The project failed and there are a lot of irregularities, which need to be investigated,” he said.
He also blamed the Thackeray-led Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi government for stalling the Aarey car shed that delayed Metro-3 for more than two years and led to the escalation of price by ₹10,000 crore.
On the other hand, Congress MLA and Mumbai unit chief of the party Varsha Gaikwad targeted Bharatiya Janata Party and prime minister Narendra Modi over the Adani bagged Dharavi redevelopment project. “The ‘friend’ is getting all contracts right from Dharavi to the airport colony. “The contracts are being alloted to Adani as if the land belonging to the government is the land owned by Adani. Two guardian ministers have been operating from BMC by putting pressure on the commissioner in the civic body. The police commissioner and officers who are facing ED inquiry should be immediately transferred,” she said.
Gaikwad’s remarks led to a spat between the treasury and opposition benches. BJP MLAs took strong objections to the references related to ‘friendship’. BJP MLA Amit Satam warned Gaikwad to not name Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he has no relations with the project. “Should I talk about Rahul Gandhi’s ‘tamasha’,” Satam questioned. This led to verbal exchanges from both sides.
The motion moved by the ruling parties was to showcase the concretisation of roads measuring 450 kms, installation of 7 sewage treatment plants, completion of almost all the ongoing Metro projects in the next two years, various tax rebates and tweaking of the rules to facilitate the redevelopment of old, cessed buildings in the city. The BJP MLAs while participating in the debate expressed their gratitude towards the government for facilitating self-redevelopment, redevelopment of 7 markets, and construction of ₹6,700 crore missing link on the Mumbai-Pune expressway, tunnel between Borivali and Thane among others.
The motion is seen as a bid of the ruling parties, especially BJP to project the development works undertaken by the government, ahead of the ensuing Lok Sabha. According to the BJP leaders, the motion was on the lines of “Dhanywad Devendra ji’ drive undertaken by the party recently. The drive projects various projects implemented by the state government and under the leadership of Fadnavis. | <urn:uuid:35738181-f6f7-4e8a-82ee-a57b5114d6a4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/mumbai-news/verbal-spat-erupts-in-assembly-between-ruling-and-opposition-mlas-over-infra-projects-101709149582426.html | 2024-04-15T00:15:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.961441 | 880 |

Quote:Brief comments re the Agriculture Policy document. http://www.afcd.gov.hk/english/whatsnew/what_agr/files/consultation_on_agricultural_policy.pdfIt appears there is no real overall policy; instead a plan for a grandiose project, with some vague ideas this may prove beneficial.
There is a need to support agriculture in Hong Kong, and to do so in ways that ensure farm areas are also of value to wildlife, including locally and even globally rare species.
– would fit with Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan.
The Agri-Park idea seems to have been devised by bureaucrats, not farmers. Were any experienced local farmers involved in the plans? Probably not, because AFCD prefers to avoid outside help, pretending to have expertise, rather than being able to cooperate with all who may be able to help.
There’s no great need for developing new means of production; Hong Kong has already done much on this.
Instead, need support for farming at actual “grassroots” level; along with helping farmers scattered across Hong Kong to share experiences, learn from one another.
Can also help boost marketing, sales.
And help by AFCD doing some actual “Conservation” – playing a role in safeguarding against development of our remaining farmland. [and not seeking to build small houses in it!]
Sadly, I do not expect the “Policy” will change as a result of such criticisms, and the Agri-Park will be of even less value than Cyberport or the Science Park.
Though the Agri-Park will directly enrich some people, and may also play some role in helping others to enrich themselves by developing on farmland elsewhere.
Dr Martin Williams
Admittedly, I haven’t really read the document, but have seen comments, like blog post here: https://gogreenhk.wordpress.com/2015/01/05/agri-park/
Seems knowledgeable, well written; and is highly critical, including "This scheme can only have been thought up by “innovative” bureaucrats whose experience of farming consists largely of playing FarmVille.”
Paul Zimmerman added comment, which was also critical.
My thought, then, is that this indeed looks to be another government project that will spend a lot of money and generate little or nothing of value; and “innovation” indeed surely not needed – instead farming needs much simpler support for actual farmers, who seem to operate in spite of the AFCD [which does little re Agriculture, has little by way of Fisheries nowadays thanks to appalling management, is almost no use for boosting Conservation – but days pay some fat salaries to a few, I believe, such as for career civil servant but non-farmer, non-fisher and non-conservationist Alan Wong. Or maybe this is wrong impression; if so would be happy to be corrected.]

The origins of the modern office go back to the Renaissance. Long-distance trade had grown constantly since the end of the Middle Ages, and new forms of accounting and financing emerged from Italy.
The merchant's counting-house was the centre of all business transactions at the time. Incoming merchandise was inspected here because fraud and differences in quality were the order of the day. Cash payments were counted, and sometimes the coins were weighed on special scales to exclude the risk of counterfeit money.
It was necessary to account for and record cash payments, as well as the cashless payments which had already appeared at that time. Contact with business associates and branches could only be established by means of correspondence. It was only possible to record and monitor business transactions and plan new activities by increasing written records and administration. This is why the merchant's desk became the most important item of furniture in the counting-house. It was where all writing, calculating, cash collecting, accounting and correspondence was handled.
The Renaissance merchant's business may seem surprisingly modern in many aspects, but he had hardly any aids. Merchants relied on quills, inkwells, desks and coin scales. The ever increasing amount of documents was not arranged alphabetically but chronologically, written down in books or stacked as loose sheets of paper on a bench.
The source of wealth was trade in various goods. Pepper, cloves, cinnamon and other spices came from the Orient. Pelts and furs from the Baltic region were exchanged for ironware from Germany. Wool from England and cloth from Flanders were sought-after products, as were German beer and salt from Lüneburg and other salt-works. The high risk of transportation by ship gave rise to the insurance business. | <urn:uuid:ef2e44bd-39fb-4ad4-a6ef-dc91b8d29419> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.hnf.de/en/permanent-exhibition/exhibition-areas/office-work-through-the-ages/counting-house-around-1500.html | 2024-04-15T00:00:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.989655 | 349 |

We’ve already talked a bit about Joseph here on HoleyBooks, but I think there’s one more issue worth mentioning. As the story goes, Joseph saves the day with his food storage program, and forgives his brothers for selling him into slavery. That’s quite an admirable gesture. During their reconciliation, Joseph claims that God acted through their evil deeds so that lives could be spared from the famine (Gen. 45:5-9). Later, after Jacob’s death, Joseph again reassures his brothers that although their intentions were evil, God’s intentions were good, and that through them this good was possible (Gen. 50:19-20). This seems completely reasonable given the outcome, but if true, creates some problems.
If God used Joseph’s brothers as a tool to reach a certain end, God would be violating human free will. If that’s the case, how do we know when someone is acting on their own or when God is acting as puppeteer? Perhaps this is why we should forgive those who sin against us, because, really it might not be their fault. Yikes.
If God is acting through Joseph’s brothers, and that action is immoral, he is (by the power of the transitive property!) acting immorally. This actually makes things easier. If God isn’t, by definition, perfectly good, then that whole origin of evil problem gets a little less difficult.
Lastly, as the Almighty, if you’re goal is to get your nation to move down to Egypt, which is easier to pull off: manipulate a family so that they betray a brother and sell him into slavery, orchestrate the rise of that brother to the highest power (short of Pharaoh) in the most dominant civilization in the area, warn the brother about the famine you’re about to cause so he can be the hero, cause the famine, and finally, sit back and watch as your nation moves into Egypt to avoid starvation; or, simply come down for lunch one day and tell the nation to move to Egypt in person?
Each of the above problems certainly warrant more discussion. For HoleyBooks, I think it’s enough to point out that this seemingly innocent ending, when read critically, tears more holes, that aren’t easily patched, in the sails of a narrative that already lets most of the breeze through. | <urn:uuid:7c3f2f06-f5b7-4c51-9126-84775dff8a72> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.holeybooks.com/2011/05/evil-deeds-divine-or-otherwise-gen-37-50/ | 2024-04-14T22:46:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.969502 | 501 |
If you’ve ever looked into dieting, losing weight or simply having a healthier lifestyle, you’ve probably come across a lot of content about protein. But what actually is it, and why is it so important?
What is protein?
Protein is a macronutrient that our body needs to maintain healthy bodily functions. It works alongside carbohydrates and fats to create the foundations for every cell in your body.
Protein, in particular, helps our muscles to grow strong while also ensuring the body produces biochemicals like hormones and enzymes. It can also help with tissue repair.
Within proteins are amino acids – which you’ve probably also heard of. These acids can be used to help the body process proteins into useable goodness. Of course, amino acids can be recycled for other functions, but it’s better to provide the body with a daily supply of protein to keep things ticking over properly.
How do we consume protein?
If you’re a meat-eater, you can usually get all nine essential amino acids from animal protein. Amino acid can’t actually be produced by the body itself, which is why it’s so important to feed it protein through our diet.
Those that have a vegetarian or plant-based diet may have concerns about getting the ‘complete dose’ of protein in their everyday meals. But you shouldn’t worry too much: All nine amino acids are present within a plant-based protein; it’s just the levels of each can differ.
Using plant based sausage or other meat alternatives are a great way to ensure your body is getting the protein it needs, as these products are usually fortified with all the right nutrients. It’s also recommended that herbivores eat a varied diet of plant proteins to achieve balanced nutrition and a complete amino acid set.
How much protein do I need?
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends that an average adult should have 0.8g of protein for every kilogram of weight. So, the amount you should be consuming really depends on your body type.
There are other factors to take into consideration, too. Lifestyle factors like how much activity you’re doing and your current health goals can change the amount of protein you’ll need. As protein is great for building muscle, those taking part in weight training for muscle gain might want to up their intake.
When switching to a plant-based diet, there is often concern that the body won’t be able to get the correct amount of protein without the help of red meats. This is a particularly big concern for people living an active lifestyle as those exercising regularly will likely need more protein to sustain them.
Luckily, with plant-based diets growing in popularity, there are plenty of food options on the market that can ensure you get all the nutrients and proteins you need, and there’s plenty of recipes to help, too!
Next time you go shopping, take a look at the product labels for each item you add to your basket. You’ll be able to see just how much protein is in each product which will help you plan your meals with a healthier and stronger body in mind. | <urn:uuid:f9dd86bb-b3f2-44e4-bd25-518a6ed49dd6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.holysmithereens.com/2021/07/everything-you-need-to-know-about-protein/ | 2024-04-15T00:07:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.955428 | 664 |

Former Pope Benedict’s funeral takes place at the Vatican, as Francis celebrates Mass with pilgrims.
The dome of the Basilica was shrouded in mist as the cypress-wood coffin containing the body of former Pope Benedict was brought out and placed on the steps facing St Peter’s Square.
There was applause from the faithful who had gathered for the funeral.
Pope Francis, who presided over the service, was brought out on to the dais in a wheelchair.
Clergy from around the world were there – cardinals in red vestments, nuns and monks in their dark robes.
Latin chants sung by the Sistine Chapel choir echoed across the square. The mood was solemn and subdued.
Daniele, a teacher, who had met the former pontiff at a church in Rome, told me the weather matched the occasion. “The fog represents the mystery of Pope Benedict, the mystery of death and life. I feel very happy and emotional to be in St Peter’s Square.”
The pope was “an important voice in the church”, Daniele said.
During the Mass, concelebrated by cardinals, bishops and priests, Pope Francis spoke of “wisdom, tenderness and devotion that he bestowed upon us over the years”.
“Benedict, faithful friend of the Bridegroom,” he said referring to Jesus, “may your joy be complete as you hear his voice, now and forever.”
Some 50,000 mourners came to the funeral, according to police. Official delegations were there from Italy and from former Pope Benedict’s home country of Germany. Other leaders, including the king and queen of Belgium attended in a private capacity.
Benedict’s death brings to an end the era of a pope and a former pope living side by side in the Vatican – an unprecedented situation brought about by Benedict’s resignation almost a decade ago.
In February 2013, I stood watching in St Peter’s Square as he flew away from the Vatican in a helicopter, at the end of his pontificate.
The ceremonies surrounding his death have been simpler than those for a sitting pope.
Over the past few days, some 200,000 people came to the Vatican to pay their respects to the former pontiff, as he lay in state in front of the main altar in St Peter’s Basilica.
On the day before the funeral, I joined the long line of visitors and mourners queuing to view his body. Dressed in red and gold vestments, he had a rosary clasped in his white, waxy hands.
There was no display of usual papal regalia like the silver staff, a sign that he was no longer Pope when he died.
But in line with tradition, a lead tube containing an account of Benedict’s papacy, as well as other items, including Vatican coins minted during his reign, were placed in the coffin.
At the end of the service, the choir sang “May the angels lead you into paradise.” Pope Francis placed his hand on the wooden coffin in a final prayer, before it was carried away, to be sealed and placed in another coffin of zinc and an outer one of wood.
It was buried in the crypt under St Peter’s Basilica, where Pope John Paul II was originally interred in 2005 before his body was moved up to a chapel, after his beatification.
While many leading figures have praised Benedict since his death – paying tribute to his theological studies – there has also been criticism, particularly by victims of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy.
The Snap Survivors network said the former pope “virtually ignored the burning problem of clergy sexual abuse during his tenure in office”.
“In his more than 25 years as the world’s most influential religious figure, Pope Benedict XVI fell short in protecting children and adults around the world.”
In St Peter’s Square, feelings about the former pope were mixed. Gaia from Sardinia said that while Benedict had been “a very good pope, I prefer Pope Francis. I think that he’s closer to people in 2023”.
Simona from Monza in northern Italy told me she was concerned that Francis might follow Benedict’s example and retire.
“I’m worried that he is sick,” she said. “And I really do hope that he still has the strength to keep the Church united and to go on and give hope to this world.”
Christopher Lamb, Vatican correspondent of the Catholic magazine, said Francis now faced a new moment in his pontificate but he expected him to continue his pace of reform within the Church.
“The death of Benedict does leave it open for Francis to step down if he wishes but I wouldn’t bet on it because this Pope really has a lot to accomplish in terms of reforms.” | <urn:uuid:eb7ea1ad-50b1-45f9-8d7d-140b7625b2a7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.homeofscience.net/2023/01/05/pope-and-50000-mourners-say-farewell-to-benedicton-january-5-2023-at-1138-am/ | 2024-04-15T00:18:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.987351 | 1,038 |
Ruffles are the new florals of spring 2024, adding a touch of softness and whimsy to any style. They are cropping up everywhere, from sheets to table linen, but here we are focusing on the easiest way to bring this trend into your home – pillows.
‘Ruffles made a huge impact on fashion trends last year,’ says Randi Garrett, interior designer and founder of Arizona-based design firm Randi Garrett Design. ‘Think puff sleeves, tiered skirts, and interesting cuts to dresses all incorporating ruffles, and now, we’ve brought that trend to the design world through pillows, throw blankets, and tablecloths. Ruffles can add elegance and make things more playful, and in terms of pillows, they add that ounce of texture your sofa or bed may have been missing. They bring an extra layer of femininity to a design, making rooms all the more interesting, and they’re a very affordable way to do so.’
Upon looking around at all my favorite home retailers, I was delighted to notice that I could find a ruffled pillow for any design lover. There were rich, jewel tones, lighter pastels, plaid and floral designs, and even some cottage style in there, all of which showed me how versatile this interior design trend is.
9 ruffled pillows to suit any style
Adding gingham and ruffles together is a major opportunity for a true statement piece, which is what this pillow by Anthropologie is. I absolutely adore the bright color scheme of peach, kelly green, and bubble gum pink for sunny vibes.
The intentional black and white check pattern on this pillow is a nod to those who still want to keep their monochrome look intact, all while incorporating one of the world’s top interior design trends in their space.
If you’re planning an outdoor garden party anytime soon, grab a bunch of these seat cushions, stat: Not only are they incredibly affordable, but they’re also perfectly padded for extra comfort.
This farmhouse-inspired sham goes a little rogue with the combination of florals with plaid, but the ginger and red gingham ruffled border is all kinds of fun.
Rich linen adds a refined elegance to this ruffle sham, which has been pre-washed for extra softness. You can pick from a myriad of colors, depending on your decor scheme.
A vast collection of embroidered, colorful flowers on a black background exude modern elegance, but the pink ruffled border on this decorative pillow makes sure things don’t feel too serious.
If ruffles all around the border of your throw pillow is too much for you, experiment with this vintage-inspired pick that covers one half with frills, and the second half with buttons and patterns.
Ruffed pillows provide a simple way in which to bring the frills trend into your home, and you can purchase them at various price points and in numerous interior design styles. No matter whether you want a dark, contemporary look or a new take on modern farmhouse decor, there’s an option available out there for you to elevate your home decor scheme.

Pest Spotlight: How To Deal With Bed Bugs In Los Angeles County
November 11, 2022
In recent years, bed bugs have become quite a problem throughout much of the U.S. Unfortunately, Los Angeles County has not been immune to this growing pest problem. As such, Los Angeles County pest control is very much focused on dealing with bed bug infestations.
In this blog, we'll explain what bed bugs look like and telltale signs that you have a bed bug infestation. Once you determine that you're dealing with bed bugs, we'll show you five DIY tricks to try to deal with the situation and what HomeShield Pest Control can offer you in terms of professionally eradicating your bed bug infestation.
What Do Bed Bugs In Los Angeles County Look Like?
It is of the utmost importance to properly identify pests in your home in order to understand how to properly eradicate the infestation. Bed bugs are generally mahogany colored with an oval-shaped, flattened body, six legs, antennae, and adults are approximately 1/4 of an inch long.
When you have properly identified bed bugs in your home, you will want to remediate the problem expeditiously. While bed bugs are generally nuisance pests, they constantly feed on your blood while you sleep. This constant biting not only causes skin irritation but hinders sleep, the latter of which has a more severe implication.
If left untreated, the bed bug problem will not disappear. Bed bugs can live for years in your home, giving them more than adequate time to grow expansive colonies. If you have a bed bug problem, call HomeShield Pest Control. We will remediate the infestation before it worsens.
How To Tell If You Are Dealing With A Bed Bug Infestation
Bed bugs are often in hiding during the day and only come out at night to feed on our blood while we sleep. If you have a bed bug sighting, that's a cut-and-dry way to know that you have a bed bug problem. If you see what you believe to be a bed bug, compare the bug you see with the description of bed bugs above.
Since they're nocturnal, you may not always be "fortunate" enough to see bed bugs themselves. In this case, look for clues that you may have bed bugs. Here are some ways to know that you may be dealing with bed bugs:
- Look in their hiding places: Bed bugs often hide in mattresses, head and footboard cracks, furniture cushions, and drawer joints.
- Root them out of their hiding places: Steaming them out of their hiding places is a good method.
- Feces sightings: Bed bugs will leave small reddish-brown fecal matter in their wake.
- Bites on arms and legs: These bites will be in a zig-zag or linear pattern.
- Sightings of organic matter: Do bed bugs shed? Oh yes. Not only will they leave behind their molted skins, but also eggs and eggshells.
If you observe any of these warning signs, you may have a bed bug problem in your house.
Five DIY Tips For Bed Bug Control
Want to know how to get rid of bed bugs?
There are a number of DIY tricks for bed bug control. We have found the following five DIY tricks to be among the most effective in controlling bed bugs:

How This Memphis Train Station Transformed Into An Iconic Design-Forward Hotel
By Troy Dixon General Manager, The Central Station | November 2022
The Central Station has stood watch over South Main Street in downtown Memphis for more than 100 years, a direct reflection of the success, struggle, and spirit of the city that grew up around it.
It was built simply for arrivals and departures, but the life that churned through on its rails gave South Main a vitality that turned it into one of the most iconic and dynamic neighborhoods in the city.
Opened on October 4, 1914, on what was then the corner of Calhoun and Main, Memphis' Grand Central Station was built by the Illinois Central Railroad for $1.5 million dollars as their primary headquarters and station for all IC passenger lines. The building is of the Roman Doric type of architecture, the main motive consisting of a colonnade of Bedford stone three stories high, from the sidewalk to the first cornice, above which the office portion of the building, in brick walls with terracotta trimmings, continues an additional five stories.
When converting the historic train station to a luxury hotel, designers made sure to keep the original feel of the bustling station, especially in the lobby with neon signs pointing the way, metalwork accents, and a backlit library of vinyl records that recall the city's musical history. We are fortunate enough to have a unique property that cannot be replicated elsewhere. Guests visit our hotel to experience a rich history that can only be found within our walls. Today, Central Station Hotel lets you experience the liveliness of this town in ways unlike any other while remaining as an active train station, served daily by the cities of New Orleans and Chicago and the local Main Street trolley line.

Are you struggling with a plumbing problem and wondering what to do about it? Sometimes you need to call a professional plumber, and other times you can handle the issue yourself. It can be hard to know the difference, though.
Fortunately, there are several common plumbing issues that seem to happen to everyone. Here are six of them and what to do about it.
Faucets drip and waste water in almost every home at one time or another. Not only is it annoying, but it can also push your water bill higher than it needs to be.
Generally, this problem is related to a mechanism in the handle or a seal that has worn out over time. You can get faucet repair kits to try a DIY, or call Toronto plumbers to take care of the problem for you.
Slow drains in a sink are very frustrating and also very common. Many homeowners turn immediately to a chemical cleaner, but these can damage your pipes and drains while wearing away the clog. Instead, consider an enzyme cleaner, remove the P-trap to remove the clog yourself, or use a snake to clear the drain.
The good news is that unless the clog is serious, you aren’t likely to need a plumber to visit.
Sometimes toilet clogs are due to normal waste and can be solved simply and easily with a plunger. However, there are other times when unusual items have been flushed and there’s a more serious problem.
You can use a sewer snake or drain auger to loosen the blockage, but it has to be done carefully to avoid breaking the pipe. You may want to call a plumber if your normal plunger doesn’t work.
Is your toilet continually running even though it is appropriately full? This is a common problem that can cost you hundreds of dollars in extra water usage. Often the problem is a faulty flapper valve in the tank, which is easy to repair. You can get a toilet repair kit to ensure you have everything you need.
If the flapper valve isn’t the problem, you might need a more involved fix and may want to call a plumber to help.
Water Heater Problems
Hopefully, you have a plumbing maintenance appointment each year so your water heater is monitored over time. This will help you avoid more serious problems with the unit. However, you may still be in a situation where your hot water isn’t working.
Check the pilot light under the heater and relight it if needed. If that’s already working, you probably have an issue that requires professional help to fix.
Low Water Pressure
If your faucet or shower has a trickle instead of the normal flow of water, you may have low water pressure or a problem with the faucet head. Problems with the faucet aerator can be fixed by soaking the faucet or showerhead in vinegar overnight.
If you’ve done this and there’s still a problem, you might have larger concerns with your pipes. Low water pressure can come from leaking or clogged main pipes that affect the flow of water to your fixture. Contact a plumber to inspect the system.
Keep Your Plumbing Running Smoothly
Your plumbing is a vital part of your home’s systems. Just because you don’t see the pipes regularly doesn’t mean you wouldn’t notice immediately if they stopped working. By handling these common plumbing problems, you’ll keep your home safe and comfortable for a long time to come. | <urn:uuid:cc0aa3ed-4955-4a49-a1a6-4a8be90ae6d5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.houseandhomeideas.co.uk/blog/6-plumbing-challenges-and-how-to-overcome-them/ | 2024-04-15T00:25:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.954205 | 730 |

Masking to Remain Mandatory in Emergency Departments at HPHA
March 27, 2024
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance (HPHA) has worked closely with our partners in Infection Prevention and Control to ensure patients, staff, physicians and families/caregivers are safe and protected while in our hospitals. Along with our partner hospitals throughout the South West Region, and based upon the most recent Public Health Ontario guidance, updates will be made to our Universal Masking Policy to reflect current health and safety risks.
Effective Wednesday, March 27, 2024 masking will be welcomed, but no longer required, in many clinical areas of HPHA’s hospital sites. The exception to this is any of HPHA’s Emergency Departments where masking will be required. Masking will also be required throughout the hospital sites for individuals who are experiencing symptoms of respiratory infection such as cough, fever and sore throat, and for those who are accompanying or visiting a patient with these symptoms. Hospital-provided medical grade masks will continue to be provided with masking stations set up throughout HPHA hospital sites, not just at entrances. Anyone entering the hospital is welcome to wear a mask.
“Masks continue to be a key tool for infection prevention and control,” says Erica Jensen, Manager Quality, Patient Safety and Infection Control. “We encourage anyone who wishes to wear a mask to do so to help protect themselves and their loved ones.”
What This Means for Our Patients, Families/Caregivers and Visitors
Masking is Required
- If you are a patient or caregiver in the Emergency Department
- If you are a patient or caregiver who must travel from the Emergency Department to another area of the hospital such as Medical Imaging
- You have symptoms of a respiratory infection (such as cough, fever, sore throat)
- You are visiting a patient who is in isolation precautions
- You are caring for someone with a respiratory infection
You may want to wear a mask if:
- You have an underlying medical condition, are immunocompromised or are an older adult
- Your close contacts are more likely to get very sick if they contract COVID-19
- You are in a crowded space
- You had a high-risk exposure and may become sick
“Our staff and physicians in the Emergency Department will be required to wear masks when providing care to patients,” adds Jensen. “Staff and physicians will also continue to wear masks when providing care to patients in isolation precautions or with symptoms of respiratory illness. And of course, staff and physicians will be required to wear a mask if they are experiencing symptoms of respiratory illness.”
It is also important to note that Universal Masking may be reintroduced based on disease activity, during respiratory season and for outbreak management. | <urn:uuid:f469c005-549b-4f53-abff-03889e93480e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.hpha.ca/newsroom?newsid=17482 | 2024-04-14T23:01:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.950714 | 584 |
Danny Cowley looks back on Birmingham draw
- Danny Cowley on Town’s draw with Birmingham
- Town’s Manager disappointed not to get all three points
- Watch the full interview on #HTTV
Huddersfield Town Manager Danny Cowley was disappointed that his side couldn’t get a deserved three points after drawing 1-1 at home to Birmingham City.
Town created the majority of the game’s chances and looked a threat throughout but couldn’t get the all-important winner in the closing stages. Fraizer Campbell had put the Terriers ahead before Marc Roberts equalised for the visitors late on.
“I’m disappointed for the players really because I thought they put a lot into it. The resilience, the determination and the fight were really good,” said Danny.
“Proud of the players’ application. Proud of the players’ effort. We’ve got boys playing out of position, we had Lewis (O’Brien) playing left-back, Juninho (Bacuna) at right-back; I thought those two did great.
“We have to go back, and we have to work again. But I can rest easy tonight knowing the players fought really hard for one another in what was really difficult circumstances.”
Town’s goal came after an inch-perfect pass from Trevoh Chalobah that set up Fraizer Campbell for a goal on his return to the starting XI.
“It was a brilliant pass, a pass good enough to win any football match and a great finish for Fraizer. It was a really well-worked goal.
“We’re disappointed today because we gave very little chances away, except for one soft one in the 80th minute, yet we created quite a lot of good chances today.
“It wasn’t going to be perfect with so much going against us in the week, so the fact we had all those qualities leaves me pleased about that.”
Various injuries and absentees meant that Danny named Juninho Bacuna and Lewis O’Brien as makeshift full-backs in his starting XI this afternoon. Town’s Manager was proud of how his players dealt with the adversity.
“I’ve been a manager 13 years, near on 800 games, and that’s definitely the most difficult team I’ve had to select. It’s not straight-forward at the moment, we’ve got an unbalanced squad.
“We spoke to Lewis in Dubai and we’ve done a lot of work with him this week. Lewis will play anywhere for the team and do his very best.
“We watched Bacca’s games, we watch him against Wolves last year and the next game against Brighton. Fair play to Juninho because he’d been doing very well in centre midfield but when we spoke to him, he was willing to put the team first. We were proud of both of them today.”

Truckee's New Community Park Featured in Tahoe Quarterly Magazine
Here at High West, we feel deeply connected to our community. Over the past few months, we've been given the opportunity to help redesign the Community Arts Center park in downtown Truckee, a project we know will greatly benefit our small mountain town. After months of brainstorming, sketching, drafting, and rendering, we released our plans to the public and got an overwhelmingly positive response.
The design includes an outdoor amphitheater, natural play features, sensory gardens, cafe tables, and other interactive elements inspired by the Truckee River watershed. Construction is set to begin this summer and will be ready for play June 2019.

- Hyundai Motor has extended its partnership with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam until at least 2022
- This collaboration supports projects such as Hyundai Mobility Day and Van Gogh on the Road
- Hyundai engages in collaborations with major museums such as this as a way to unite design and art
This collaboration will enable the organisation of a Hyundai Mobility Day, focused on making the museum more accessible, as well as support the continuation of the project Van Gogh on the Road.
Hyundai became a partner of the Van Gogh Museum in 2016, and has now committed to continue its partnership until at least 2022. The partnership with the Van Gogh Museum dovetails with Hyundai’s vision of collaborating with leading international museums in order to unite design and art. Hyundai has already entered into partnerships with the Tate Modern in London, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul, Korea.
A shared passion for Vincent van Gogh formed a strong foundation for Hyundai’s partnership with the Van Gogh Museum. The company also recognises the vital importance of sustainability, as does the Van Gogh Museum. The partnership will allow Hyundai to introduce the Hyundai IONIQ to a broad audience in the Netherlands and beyond. In return, Hyundai’s sponsorship will contribute to the museum’s core activities.
We are delighted and honoured that Hyundai has agreed to extend its involvement with our museum, especially now. Art and culture offer comfort and inspiration, also in these challenging times. The partnership builds on our shared passion for the work and life of Vincent van Gogh, and Hyundai’s contribution will enable us to make our museum more accessible. For everyone currently using digital means to get to know Van Gogh better, and for the visitors to Museumplein in Amsterdam, who we hope to welcome back soon.
Hyundai Motor and Van Gogh Museum to collaborate on Hyundai Mobility Day
The Van Gogh Museum will collaborate with Hyundai to organise the Hyundai Mobility Day on 26 October later this year, if the situation permits it. This special day will be focused on accessibility, a core value of both organisations. The museum will work together with Hyundai to develop educational activities for various target groups centred on this theme. In addition to these activities, Hyundai’s support will facilitate the Korean translation of the multimedia guide and the museum guide.
Van Gogh on the Road to be continued with latest IONIQ Electric and KONA Electric models
Hyundai has previously made various models of its EVs Hyundai IONIQ and KONA Electric available to the Van Gogh Museum. These cars were ‘wrapped’ in Vincent van Gogh’s iconic masterpieces, and one of the cars followed in Van Gogh’s footsteps as it travelled – fully electrically – to Paris as part of the project Van Gogh on the Road. Now that the partnership is being extended, Hyundai is once again making two models available to the museum: the latest, fully electric IONIQ Electric and KONA Electric, wrapped in Van Gogh’s iconic works “Almond Blossom” and “Sunflowers.”
About the Van Gogh Museum
With more than 200 paintings, nearly 500 drawings and nearly all of his letters, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam is home to the world’s largest collection of works by Vincent van Gogh. The permanent collection transports visitors on a journey through the life and work of Van Gogh and his contemporaries. Every year, the museum welcomes more than 2.1 million visitors from all around the world and reaches millions more followers through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn.

Bill Gross runs PIMCO, the world’s largest government bond managers with assets of nearly $700bn.

Chemicals and the Economy
The US dollar has been falling steadily in recent weeks. It is particularly weak against the euro, having fallen almost 5% since January. OPEC countries buy much more from the eurozone than from the US, and the OPEC President has said they are ‘concerned’ about dollar weakness. We probably need to start monitoring oil prices […]
If you read the financial pages of your newspaper, everything sounds rosy. But if you turn to the news section, its all gloom. Both views can’t continue to exist alongside each other for ever. Whichever scenario comes out on top, will have major implications for the chemical industry. My own view is that this week’s […]
Central bankers are like generals. They seem to prefer fighting their last war, rather than preparing for the next one. How else to explain their continued reluctance to recognise that higher food and energy prices are here to stay? As a result, interest rates now need to rise more than expected. Pity those who have […]
Consumer attitudes have shifted sharply in recent weeks. This could have big implications for chemical companies, and they need to respond quickly.
Yesterday’s “swings in financial derivative prices were so extreme that they implied scenarios in which the core of the global liquidity system suffers a serious assault”, according to JP Morgan, the investment bank. Watch out, if current US sub-prime mortgage problems turn into a more general “flight from risk”.
Housing and autos have always been key drivers for the US chemicals industry. We should be concerned if the housing market weakens further.
The prices paid for Petkim and for Lustran reflect two very different perspectives on the current market:
ICI has experience of fighting off unwelcome acquisitions. And Akzo may find itself in a difficult position if ICI wins again. Unless this bid, like Hanson’s in 1991, marks the ‘top’ in the currrent M&A cycle.
Crude oil prices are climbing again. $100/bbl is not impossible, if current geo-political concerns continue. And today’s tightly balanced market could persist to 2010. | <urn:uuid:3c538fb4-46f1-43e1-8c93-212e8af91026> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.icis.com/chemicals-and-the-economy/author/paulhodges/page/283/ | 2024-04-14T23:49:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.963309 | 529 |
Here we go again, backing up. In my experience, everyone will tell me they've got it figured out. But then the reality often falls short, especially when the backup is needed.
What does the 3-2-1 rule + one extra recommendation mean.
- I have at least three copies of my data
- I store copies on two different media (storage devices)
- I have one off-site backup
- I have ensured that a potential attacker will not delete or encrypt my backups
Okay, and any explanations for non-ITs?
Having a total of three copies means that you should have at least two additional copies as backups in addition to your operational data.
What about the different media? Just make sure the devices don't have any common causes of failure. And what on earth is that? Don't store data on the same devices as operational data - store it on a dedicated NAS (network drive) backup, for example.
Off-site backup is probably obvious to everyone. Sometimes such a backup is referred to as an offsite backup.
And the bonus rule?
If your backup device can do it, then turn on snapshots, which, even if your backups are encrypted, will be able to take you back in time and maybe save the most important thing you have, your DATA.

Akshaye Khanna, Sonali Bendre,Danny
Director: Lateef Binny
Music: Anand Milind, Aadesh Shrivastava
Theatrical Release Date: December 17,1999
The movie starts when Nilima Bakshi (Sonali Bendre..Muslim
Girl) and Sameer "Prince"(Akshaye Khanna..A Hindu Boy) fall
in the love at first sight in the post office and then after
a few more chance meetings their love blossoms. Nilima comes
from the orthodox Muslim family, with uncle Jabbar (Danny)
who has just returned from jail after suffering punishment
for killing her aunt Sabeena (also Sonali) and a guy she ran
away with against family wishes (Danny killed the brother-in-law
and Sabeena killed herself). So in short it was typical family
where it is shown how dare they go against his ideals and
morals and all the standard bakwaas? The other Family members
are strict daddy Javed, a decent, samajhdaar uncle named Naseem,
and a loving kind grandmother and so on. It was the standard
"you must obey me to live..." dialogue bakwaas, hence, Nilima
is under a lot of stress. Prince has a sweet mother (Anjana
Mumtaz) and a good father Roshanlal (Dalip Tahil).
After some meetings and singing and dancing, Nilima and Prince
figure out each other's religion, and try to break it off.
They cannot do it, for the love draws them to indulge, to
fight the world together, for they cannot live apart. Jabbar
wants to kill Prince and he manages to beat Prince to bits.
Her family tries to marry Sonali off to a proper Muslim guy
(who is also a gold-digger). At the 'nikkah', Prince arrives
and takes her with him.
Nilima and Prince enjoy with each other in love while both
the families are torn apart and some politicians take advantage
of the situation and incite riots between Hindus and Muslims.
The love affair became the biggest issue in the country and
many people get killed, shops looted etc.
The family members soon realise that the "community leaders"
are more interested in twisting the situation to their advantage
than in helping them. How they try to get their children back
forms the rest of the movie. | <urn:uuid:07e95201-dcea-4764-af5f-45fdf6ab17ed> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.idlebrain.com/mumbai/reviews/mr-dahek.html | 2024-04-14T23:02:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.962164 | 519 |

MS 371 - Arnold Schoenberg and the Early 20th Century
An exploration of the implications, musical and social, of Arnold Schoenberg’s decision to renounce traditional tonal practice. Students will study the musical works, aesthetic goals, and personal philosophy of the composer within his cultural surroundings, and more specifically within Vienna of the fin-de-siècle and the first two decades of the twentieth century. We will consider examples of the literature, philosophy, science, art, music, film, and politics that surrounded Schoenberg and inquire how these may have influenced his aesthetic beliefs and his approach to musical composition. We will also discuss Schoenberg’s influence by looking at two of his pupils (Berg and Webern), as well as the further development of serialism after the Second World War both in Europe and the United States. Excursions to historic sites will complement course material. | <urn:uuid:065f630b-0570-4548-919e-7b078a0b0f5d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.iesabroad.org/programs/courses/ms-371-arnold-schoenberg-and-early-20th-century | 2024-04-14T23:00:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.956415 | 185 |
Only the Frequency Differs
Answer 5 to the Quiz in February 2021 explains that “[f]iber-optic communication is light and not electromagnetic.” James Clerk Maxwell would disagree. Radio waves, light, and x-rays are all the same thing, just at different frequencies. (I don’t dispute that the light signal in the fiber-optical cable is unaffected by space weather.) My apologies for what may seem like nitpicking to some. I love the magazine and the Quiz.

Fair enough, Wayne. Of course, you’re absolutely right.
However, that distinction is lost on many folks and one that, had we made it, might have caused more confusion than clarity.
To Garmin: I Want My Mac
I’ve received IFR Magazine for quite a while and appreciate all of the articles. Reading in the April edition, “That Elusive Proficiency,” I noted a reference to Garmin’s G1000 trainer. Garmin trainers are not, as far as I know, currently available on a Mac device.
I currently fly an Archer with a sixpack and a Garmin 430W. I’ve been trying everything I can think of to get and use a Garmin Trainer for the 430W, but nothing is available for a Mac. I bought an old Dell computer and tried to use it, but it’s very cumbersome and I can’t get a current database. I tried downloading Virtual Box to run it on my Mac, but it’s unable to connect to the Garmin site.
Is there any way for you to make a plea to Garmin to have their trainers available on a Mac format? A long time ago, Jepps weren’t available for Mac users either. Thank goodness for ForeFlight!
Ann Arbor, MI
As popular as the Mac/IOS platform has become, the simple truth is that it’s well behind Windows in market penetration.
We’ve had similar conversations with Garmin and there are two points they’ll make. First, the actual device software is much easier to port to a Windows environment than a Mac. Plus, their trainers are designed to provide the user with a platform on which to learn the emulated device. They are not intended to substitute for a flight simulator. Thus, Garmin makes no guarantee to support them with current data, etc. (You can certainly learn to use the emulated device with old data.)
That said, some current Garmin products for which Garmin does offer trainers have available IOS-based versions of the trainers intended to run on your iPad. (See the image of GTN trainers from app store above.) These are not usually as full functioned as the Windows versions, but are sufficient to learn the buttonology. Also, with current products, the trainers are frequently updated to match updates to the emulated device, and the data is usually updated at the same time.
Obviously, the 430/530 (and W versions) are not current products, thus there is limited support for the trainers.
We can offer two suggestions. One, of course, is to get a current, capable Windows device on which to run your selected trainer. Modest pricing of these makes this your most affordable option that, compared to the cost of flying anything these days, is really quite modest.
The other suggestion is to purchase (or build your own) flight simulator (also Windows-based). There are many plugins that provide the 430/530/W functionality and some even allow updating the data. To go this direction, however, even if you build it yourself, would be far more expensive, probably starting at a few thousand dollars and going up from
Keep Current Print Schedule
The FAA chart publication change is a big mistake and disappointing. Even more disappointing is to read that AOPA advocated for the chart cycle change. This is a solution in search of a problem.
The FAA continues to make flying more difficult and AOPA and others support it, according to the article on Page 13 of my May issue of AOPA Pilot. Because “90 percent of pilots use electronic charts” does not mean none of those 90 percent ever use paper charts. Even if it did, why penalize the remaining few percent?
I strongly believe this is a mistake for many reasons:
- Fewer pilots will buy charts.
- More paper will be wasted printing charts that will soon become outdated.
- Resources will be wasted shipping charts three times more often than necessary.
Yes, electronic charts are nice and iPads are great but there are times when a paper chart is advantageous for flight planning because it lets you see the big picture at a glance. You can’t unfold an iPad to see an entire sectional.
Years ago, if an FBO ordered more charts than it sold, they could cut out the date information and return them for a credit or refund. This saved money for the FBO, and enabled them to stock a supply of current charts. It enabled the FBO or pilot shop to stock charts outside of their local area as a means of stimulating interest in flying to new places. Today the FBO can no longer return the unused charts for credit. The paper is still wasted but the FBO is not reimbursed.
The FAA should return to the old six-month schedule for sectional and terminal area charts. In as many cases as practical, significant chart changes (such as a radio frequency or airspace classification) should be synchronized to occur on the changeover date, reducing the need for interim NOTAMs.
When the present change was made the FAA mandated that all charts would expire on the same date, rather than on staggered dates. This means that all new charts must ship out at the same time. Logistically this must put a big strain on the shipping infrastructure. If the FAA can be persuaded to return to the previous six month cycle it would also ease the workload on production and shipping to return to the staggered expiration dates.
An option that the FAA might consider would be to make all charts print-on-demand, as is done with some books. A pilot would order a new chart when he felt he needed one and it would be sent to him by postal mail. It would be up to date on the day it was printed. This would eliminate the necessity of FBOs stocking a supply of charts, but they could still order a few frequently used charts if they wished to keep some in stock for walk-in customers and transient pilots. This may be too radical for the FAA to get its head around.
It is my belief that this new FAA policy is detrimental to aviation safety and will have a negative effect on flight training and safety. Let’s all hope that the FAA will reconsider.
Center Harbor, NH
You make some interesting points, Barry. You suggest that one solution is print on demand. This is available today, although not quite in the form you suggest. Anyone can go to the FAA web site and navigate to any of the charts. (Air Traffic → Flight Information → Aeronautical Information Services → Digital Products) You can download and print anything there. Obviously, few of us can print something as large as a sectional or en-route chart, but it’s possible to zoom in and print portions one might want, although this isn’t that far off from viewing them electronically in that you get just a small snippet of the chart. Obviously, printing your own approach charts, though, is much more practical.
One last difference is that the on-line charts are simply pdf files of the print chart, updated and made available on the same schedule. This compares with your idea that the print-on-demand concept has charts with every update instantly applied. This isn’t likely to happen any time soon as a lot of the update mechanisms are tied to the publication cycles. Keeping downloadable or on-line charts evergreen would require overhauling the update and approval process. | <urn:uuid:72300191-23d5-4b81-a74f-ada4454bdcc2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.ifr-magazine.com/uncategorized/readback-july-2021/ | 2024-04-15T00:22:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.959384 | 1,643 |

Theme of the Week: Vacation Without Guilt
Bible Verse: “The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the Lord.” Proverbs 21:31, ESV
Scripture Reading: Mark 6:30-43
As my colleague Catherine drove to work one very cold February morning, her car hit black ice on the freeway, began spinning, and crashed into a concrete pole. Just before impact, Catherine thought she might die. Her life was spared, but she sustained a serious concussion. Her doctor told her that in order for her brain to heal, she needed to experience REM sleep, the sleep associated with dreaming.
For our souls to experience genuine healing and restoration, we need this imaginative REM-rest as well.
Often, when we try really hard to relax—say, we’re lying beside a pool on vacation—after seven or eight minutes we start thinking about all the things we ought to be doing, and we begin to feel lazy and unproductive.
In order to receive Sabbath as a grace, we must first trust that our world and our lives are being carried along by our Father in heaven. This trust comes to us as we pray and worship God, acknowledging that God is God, and we are not.
As Eugene Peterson summarizes, we make the Sabbath holy when we set aside a day to pray and play. Anything that makes us come fully alive is a spiritual practice. When I am doing something physical outdoors, whether running with our dog through the wooded trails near the University of British Columbia, or kayaking or sailing on the ocean, or swimming off the beach, I feel especially alive.
Entering Sabbath rest requires effort. As C. S. Lewis observes, busyness for most of us is a form of sloth because we haven’t planned well enough in order to embrace rest. Practically, in order to enter into Sabbath, we will need to decide in advance what we will do as well as what we will not do.

Sonu Nigam says he refused the Padma Shri when govt official first called him: 'This is too late'
Singer Sonu Nigam recalled his conversation with the government authorities when he was asked if he would accept the Padma Shri award. In a new interview, Sonu revealed that he had initially said that he wouldn't be able to accept the award. The singer also spoke about people getting the award due to lobbying but it had been given to him 'from the universe'.
Sonu Nigam also said that he had prepared an answer in anticipation of such a call. He thought he would reply with ‘Don’t you think it is too late in the day to give me Padma Shri?’ He told the official who called him that the honour was conferred on people who came into the music industry 15 years after him, five years before him.
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Sonu said, "‘You guys are giving me Padma Shri now? You guys have been teasing me for a long time. We are also human beings and we also get lured by these temptations. Is there a person who would be felicitated with an award and would not like it? Those who don’t get it, only they say it like that. It’s a good feeling to be given acclamation and recognition at the right time. Justice given late isn’t called justice. So I said, ‘I won’t be able to accept this award’. I said 'This is too late. You are giving Padma Shri to me now. I am past that stage of expecting and I have stopped looking in that direction already'." After about 10 minutes of speaking to him, Sonu ended the call saying that he needed to call his father.
Recalling the moment, Sonu said that he suddenly realized that he didn't lobby for the award but that it came to him. He added that it was 'something that has come to me from universe'. He said that for such awards, a lot of lobbying is done. He also said that a few people did it for him 'previously, two or three times'. The singer said that he had told them that if he received the Padma Shri 'this way', he wouldn’t be able to enjoy it.
"I am also aware of who nominated my name as well. He is a legendary classical singer. I will ask him one day if I can tell his name publicly or not someday. Everything has happened so beautifully because a musical authority nominated by name that ‘You should give it to him because it’s been far too late’,” he added.
Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award of the country, was conferred on Sonu last month. He has had a successful singing career of three decades and is regarded as one of the most versatile voices in the Indian film industry.
The singer's songs include Ye Dil Deewana, Kal Ho Na Ho, Saathiya, Abhi Mujh Mein Kahin, Mai Agar Kahoon, Hans Mat Pagli, Do Pal and Sandese Aate Hai among others. Though he predominantly worked in Hindi and Kannada language films, he has also sung in Odia, Bengali, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Nepali, Malayalam, Kannada, Bhojpuri and other Indian languages. | <urn:uuid:ce8f2bf1-fbbd-43f7-aa8b-e1eadb25c53c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.indiansingulf.in/music/2022/02/05/sonu-nigam-says-he-refused-the-padma-shri-when-govt-official-first-called-him-this-is-too-late | 2024-04-14T23:49:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.991488 | 724 |

The iOS design and development accelerator will be based in India's startup center and build Apple's global ecosystem of third-party developers at a time when its sales in countries like China are plummeting.

Apple aims to leverage its rapid growth in India with an iOS app design and development accelerator in Bengaluru, which is widely regarded as the country's version of Silicon Valley's tech startup scene, the company announced Wednesday. The move comes at a time when the company is faced with sharply declining sales in China and other major regions its serves.
At the Bengaluru facility, slated to open in early 2017, Apple experts will be on hand to provide one-on-one app reviews for developers and to hold briefings each week. The company appears to be also focused on building out its ecosystem for its programming language Swift, which is used in its iOS, OS X, watchOS, and tvOS.
"India is home to one of the most vibrant and entrepreneurial iOS development communities in the world," Tim Cook, Apple CEO, said in a statement. "With the opening of this new facility in Bengaluru, we're giving developers access to tools which will help them create innovative apps for customers around the world."
For Apple, India is poised to be a substantial market, which is opportune given the slowdown in sales it is posting in China, its second largest market after the US, as well as many other parts of the world. But while Apple's sales tanked in nearly every major region that it serves, sales in India soared 56% in the previous quarter, according to a CNN Money report.
That bodes well for Apple, given that India is expected to surpass China as the most populous country in the world by 2022, CNN Money reported.
India is fertile ground for Apple because, as the company notes, in addition to the tens of thousands of developers in India who make apps for iOS, more than 1 million Bengaluru residents work in tech, and more than 40% of its graduates from local colleges and universities major in engineering or some other area of information technology.
"Apple's investment in Bengaluru through its iOS Development Accelerator will have far-reaching effects for the area's rapidly growing and highly talented developer community," NASSCOM president R Chandrashekhar said in a statement. "The skills and training they gain through this effort will significantly improve their app design and help them reach a broader market. Initiatives like these move the country forward in our efforts to advance a growth-led and sustainable technology sector."
Cook made his first trip to India as CEO of Apple on Wednesday to meet with the country's prime minister, Apple employees, and business partners, CNN Money noted.
Apple's decision to create an app accelerator in India also strengthens its ties to a country that provides the majority of H-1B workers to the US. Of the eight top H-1B employers in the US, India was overwhelmingly the main country of origin for their workers.
In addition to the accelerator in Bengaluru, the iconic computer and device maker is expected to announce plans to expand its software development center in the southern city of Hyderabad, where engineers are focusing on its Apple Maps, according to a Fortune report.

We're already back with another Deep Stretch episode. Can you believe March is over? We're closing out the month with a conversation about urgency. Something Elizabeth Holmes knew a lot about. If you've been keeping up with the case or the new series, The Dropout, you know that she was always moving with a sense of urgency...and deceit. But that's a conversation for later. FYI - The Inner Working Group Chat has been having in depth discussions around Elizabeth and Theranos. Even bringing in lessons around academia. Yeah, we go there. We open the doors on April 1st and would love to have you. There are some fun perks, amazing benefits, and a community of other folks doing the inner work.
Listen to this episode of Inner Warmup as Taylor shares more about the group chat, her thoughts around startups, and why you should have less urgency in your life.
Welcome back to Inner Warmup where your inner work begins. I'm Taylor Elyse Morrison, creator of Inner Workout and you, as always our our expert guest. It's the end of the month already which means that we're here for a deep stretch episode. If it's your first deep stretch, these episodes are ones where it's like we're sitting down for a cup of tea. So normally I interview you and this one, I get to tell you what's been happening on my side of things, what I'm thinking about and pondering with regards to self care and inner work. So let's get into today's episode, which was entirely inspired by a conversation that started in the Inner Working Group Chat. This is our membership community that is launching to everyone on April 1. If you go to the show notes, there is a link to make sure that you are among the first to be notified when it officially launches.
Okay, let's get in to the show. Basically, this started when I posted about watching The Dropout on Hulu. If you're not familiar, The Dropout is a dramatization of the Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos story. I've been following this for a long time. I listened to the original podcast, I followed along through the court case. And now I'm watching the show that's based on the podcast, that's based on the real life events. Elizabeth Holmes is this young woman who dropped out of Stanford, and she set out to start this company who was going to create a blood test that only needed a single drop of blood, and would be able to test you for a multitude of diseases. Spoiler alert: That never came to fruition.
But she did defraud a lot of people in the process. I mentioned that there was a court case, she was found guilty on all of the counts that related to defrauding investors. And curiously enough, none of the counts that were related to defrauding people, which I think says a lot about how our society and our legal system thinks about who is valuable and who is not valuable. But that's a story for another day. As I was watching this TV show, I just started getting a little heated. It made me angry to see this person who, yes, had Theranos have worked would have completely revolutionized the medical testing industry. But she knew that the device wasn't working, her partner Sonny knew that the device wasn't working, people in the company knew. And they just kept going, they kept moving at this flash speed, for a lot of reasons.
One, because startups tend to incentivize speed. You're supposed to move really quickly so that you can raise your next round of funds. She was working with partners who wanted things to happen really quickly, because of their own needs and their own desire, some greed. Honestly, their own desire to take more market share, or to have an innovation that other people, their competitors have. And what ended up happening is that there were people who got the wrong results. There were people in the company who had their own moral and ethical qualms. One person ended up dying by suicide because of it. It was and continues to be a really awful situation. And I think it is indicative of more broad societal themes.
So in Theranos, they were moving really quickly, they were actually targeting certain types of investors who would vet things differently than more experienced investors would. But these investors are still here. Yes, they're sold into the story of what if you've never had to say goodbye too soon, but they're also sold into the fact that this would be a cash cow for them. If and when it did work out. And we see this in startups in general. I think of, I believe it was Mark Zuckerberg, who had this mantra “move fast and break things.” Like just move quickly. Just keep shipping, putting out different features and break things and just kind of trust it. It'll all work out. And yeah, it worked for him, he's super rich now. But think of the conversations that we're having to have around social media with regards to the mental health of teen girls, with regards to what's happening in Ukraine, and Russia…all of the misinformation that they've been able to put out. I believe that there's some restrictions that Facebook's done now but like what about all the misinformation they've been doing for years and years that Facebook kind of looked away from because they were spending money and that money will still could be cashed in their bank account?
This idea of moving fast and breaking things, it’s popular for companies that are trying to reach a certain amount of venture scale, where they think, okay, it's fine if we're not profitable right now. It's fine for us to maybe do something that's a little bit of a gray area, and disregard whatever it is that the establishment has done, because we're the disruptors.
And in the end, we'll get the scale that we want. And we'll be able to clean up any messes that we make later.
But sometimes people don't realize how big of a mess that they're creating. I think of the story of the guy who made Keurig. And this isn't necessarily startup related, but he made the Keurig and was like, oh, this is such a great invention, and so many people use it, but it also creates a lot of waste now. And I'll have to see if I can find the article, but I'm pretty sure that he said like, oh, oops, didn't really think about all of the waste of these little plastic cartons, I was just creating something that was really convenient for me. And then years down the road, realizing oh, didn't think it all the way through.
And not to put the blame on a single person, it’s just that's a tangible example of what can happen when we have this mentality of moving really quickly. Where we don't have values in place, either personally, or as corporations to guide us. And then we end up breaking things and potentially breaking people in the process. And one of our group chatters Deanna has been in academia. She introduced me to this concept of "publishing or perishing”, which is really popular in academia. The term was first coined in 1930 something, and it's this idea of, if you want to be an academic, you have a PhD or professor who has a promising career, then you want to put out as many articles as possible. Whether or not they're the best researched, whether or not you're following the best practice guidelines, you want to turn those out. So that your career can continue to be in good standing, can continue to flourish. At the cost of like I mentioned, ethics, there's some ethical, some gray areas and some just straight up no, that's wrong. You're not supposed to do that.
But you're only supposed to publish something once. Some people will try and change things around and essentially, try and publish the same thing twice so they're getting double credit for one amount of research. Or maybe people are fudging the numbers a little bit. And at what cost? Like sure, now you can say I've been published in 30 something places over the past couple of years. But are you able to be a really good professor who's bringing up the next generation of thinkers in whatever your area of study is? Probably not good if you're so focused on research all the time, and not this in depth slow research, but this really kind of like microwave, fast food type of research.
Another interesting fact that Deanna shared in this article in the group chat was that most of these papers actually don't get cited. So people are turning out these papers, because that's what you're supposed to do. And theoretically, it's supposed to be so that people can learn from them. So the next person can see, ooh, that's a great insight that Taylor and her team discovered in this paper. I'm going to use that and study this adjacent aspect of it. Or I really want to zoom into this one piece that they talked about, and see. Does this hold true for this specific population for this context? But that's not happening that much.
Most articles aren't getting cited. And a lot of the articles that have citations have people citing their own works. So they're like, oh, in this first study that we did, we found this. And now here's the study. And you could be listening to this so far and be like, I'm not in a startup. I'm not an academia. This is so true. Even if those identities don't mean anything to you, like, I'm not a startup person, I'm not an academic. You might be or know someone who's in the greater economy and it's maybe instead of publish or perish, it could be post or perish.
I need to post so many times on social media, or on my YouTube channel or a podcast because if I stopped posting, I am no longer relevant. My worth is not just in what I put out, the quality of what I put out, but in how much I put out. And if I decide to slow down to create space for me to create content that is going to be rich, and actionable, and interesting and funny, or whatever type of thing it is that you're creating, you are losing those aspects. And so that's why a lot of podcasts end up being ghosted, where people do it for a month, two months, six months. And then we realize, oh, the schedule that I set out for myself was a little ambitious, so I'm going to be done with it. Or that's why people can start creative projects and decide I'm going to, I'm going to blow up on Instagram, I'm going to blow up on Tik Tok, and then realize, oh, this is me buying into this paradigm of post or perish. Maybe my career isn't perishing, but part of my mental health is in the process.
And this applies to for any type of business, whether you own your own business, whether you work for a larger, small corporation. I'm hoping that everyone listening to this is like I am in a great place. I'm in a great organization that supports my mental health and well being. But if it doesn't, you might be in this place where there is some type of urgency to produce or to perish.
If you are a graphic designer, maybe it's we need to create these new graphics for an advertisement or these social graphics.
If you work in strategy, maybe it's like, I need to be creating this deck for a client and we got to move it forward.
If you're a business owner, you could be thinking I need to launch these new products.
I've definitely been there before, I need to launch these new products, or I need to find these new clients. Or I need to do doo doo. Otherwise, my job's not going to be here anymore, or my business isn't going to be here anymore.
And what it ends up creating is this false sense of urgency. This urgency, perceived urgency that is just pervasive in our society. In urgency, just because I like to go back to definitions, I find that so many things can be murky. And I think I know what they mean and then I'm like, oh, that's actually a little bit different than what I thought. So urgency is something that requires swift action, requires swift action. So that's why it's called urgent care, because you're like, I need help right now. I cut myself while I was chopping vegetables and I'm not sure how deep it is. I need to go to the emergency room. I need to go to urgent care ASAP. I can't miss this.
But I can make a lot of things urgent that are not urgent. And when we create that sense of urgency, what do we think that this urgency gives us? Maybe we think that it is going to make us more money. If I can keep posting videos, if I can keep grinding, keep hustling, I will make more money or maybe it's going to give us momentum. You feel like it's been really slow. If I create this urgency, it will give the team or myself momentum and that will keep me going. That will sustain me.
Sometimes I think that people in organizations do it because they want purpose. They want to feel valued. And they want to feel a sense of purpose in what they do. And so I've definitely had this in past roles where my boss was just giving me and giving the team things to do, that didn't really map into particular goals. But then they could say, we've done X number of these things each month, and we do Y number per year, and just putting a lot of numbers and metrics around something. But if you peel it back, it's not actually driving something that the business has seated as important.
But it can make the team feel important because we're doing things, we're productive. We're doing things doesn't that mean that we're valuable. I think that's some of what we want when we create false urgency, is just to feel valued and valuable. What urgency actually gives us though, and it's certainly given me this at times…stress, anxiety, burnout, or companies that can give high turnover. And what it ultimately does is it disconnects us from our self-expertise. Urgency disconnects us from our self-expertise, because we feel like this needs action now. Sometimes the urgency is internal. But a lot of times, what I find is that when I peel back the layers, it's actually an external voice. So I feel the need to move with urgency internally, but when I think about where that's coming from, it's external. Someone else is telling me, oh, this is important. Oh, you need to move forward on this. Oh, every good business owner, good wife, good friend is doing this thing. So you need to do it right now you're behind. It disconnects us from our self-expertise, from the belief that we know what we need in the moment.
And I'm going to be honest, I thought that I was above this, I really did. I was having a conversation with a friend and we were talking about Theranos. And we were talking about different work experiences that we've had. And I kind of was like, “yeah, I mean, I left corporate. I don't really have to deal with urgency that much. I'm not making things urgent in a way that is harmful to me because I get a lot more autonomy over my schedule.” And then I sat there as we were talking about where do we think the urgency comes from, and then I thought, Oh, wait, Taylor, do you just did this like two days ago. I was trying to post a reel on Instagram, and we use a tool that tells us what the best times are for us to post when our community is online. I was trying to post this reel or trying to post it in a way that it would show both my personal account and Inner Workout’s account, and like different things are just not working. And Matt, my loving husband is trying to talk to me about our plans for the weekend. And I'm like, babe, I need to post this reel right now. I was supposed to post it 15 minutes ago, and it's not working. I've had to delete it like five times. And this is really stressful for me, I need to do this right now. I need to get it fixed.
I apologized to him later that night. But I realized that someone told me that there was this magic time when people are going to be online. And I said that it is urgent that I post at as close to that time as I possibly can. And I treated my husband really poorly in the process. False urgency. So maybe a few less people saw our post. It trust that the right people, the people who needed to see it, they saw it.
And when I look at how I measure success, it's so much more important to me that my husband feels seen and heard and cared for. On paper, it’s more important to me that he feels cared for than an Instagram post going up at the magic time. But that urgency told me that no, no, this thing, posting this reel is the most important thing.
So what do we do? What do we do when we feel the sense of urgency? We feel like this thing, this task, the situation requires me to act right now. This is counterintuitive. But I think the most useful thing that you can do is to pause. Urgency, it's telling you fire all cylinders, go as quickly as possible but when you take that pause, you allow yourself to connect back to your self-expertise, and to do what mindfulness teachers call respond right rather than react. React is really driven by our stress responses, by a part of our brain that doesn't think as critically. And that brief pause, a few deep breaths, maybe an introspective question, something like what's important here? Why do I feel like this is so important? Who's telling me this is so important? That shifts us into responding, where we're making a choice, where we are back in the driver's seat. And maybe sometimes you do take that pause, and you're like, yeah, this is actually really important.
Going back to that example of, if you slice your your finger, you might take a deep breath. oh, yeah, going to urgent care is the sane choice. But you also might have it where you get an email. And I'm talking a lot about work. But this can be personal too. You get an email, and it's like this thing is on sale, there's a countdown timer, you have three hours. And before you know it, you've already added this $150 thing to cart because you have to have this course, or this new bag that just dropped or whatever it is…”sign up for this event right now!” But if you can add a little pause, okay, why is this important? How does this map against my personal values, my definition of success, what I say is important? You are actively choosing rather than being corralled or sometimes fear mongering into doing something because someone or something told you that it was urgent.
So what I'd love for you to do as you continue your time of reflection is just to think about a time when you felt the sense of urgency. And really think about like, what did it feel like in my body? What did it feel like emotionally? Get familiar with that feeling and try to notice it. Try to give yourself a pause, a deep breath or two. So since this is a deep stretch episode, we won't build in the time for reflection, but if something came up for you, feel free to DM us. Or if you are one of our group chatters, feel free to start a conversation in the group chat. Like I said doors open to everyone on April 1 and the link is in the show notes if you want to be on that list to get notified. Thank you so much for your time and for your expertise.

More often than not, a typical garden shed, much like a concrete garage, can visually be unappealing, lack a lot of personality and house tools, sports and garden equipment that wouldn’t be seen anywhere near the home. But all that has started to change, with many homeowners up and down the country deciding that they are bored with their bog-standard garden shed, taking on new projects to breathe some life into their tired sheds through design services.
To do this, a lot of people have realised that a garden shed, like a concrete garage, can be converted into an extra living space that can be used as a place to relax and carry out hobbies and interests. These new sheds have been called ‘she-sheds,’ but do not be put off by the name, as these are being used by both men and women. But what are they used for?
She-sheds can be used for a range of things, you can look at this business and ask an expert how she-sheds can be beneficial all year round. So as it is winter, you can start to plan your future shed, ready for the warmer months. Here’s our top things that you could turn your shed into this spring:
- A home office
- Yoga studio or small gym
- Reading and relaxing area
- An extra living space – perfect for entertaining guests
- Art and craft studio
- Garden space
According to the Power Aggregates website, she-sheds differ a lot with ordinary garden sheds as they are decorated both internally and externally, with most having windows, electricity and heating. This option is also becoming popular in concrete garages too, with many homeowners looking to convert forgotten areas of their home instead of moving. The cost of a shed and garage conversion can vary massively, so make sure you set a budget before contacting a local business.
To complete the interior of your new she-shed, we have prepared these fantastic touches that will completely transform your shed into a living space you’ll never want to leave:
- A coat of paint – ideally light in colour – to open up the small space
- Comfortable seating such as a bench, small sofa or stone benchtops
- A desk or work table with a comfortable stool or chair so you can work away for hours
- Indoor lighting to complement the space
- Food and drink area, especially if you are using your garden shed as an entertainment space
- Shelves for storage to keep it clutter free
- Home Heating Stoves that you can use during the winter
Meanwhile, the exterior of your new she-shed will also need sprucing up a bit to match your new interior. These ideas will make your garden shed look aesthetically pleasing to the eye:
- Landscaping around the shed; you will need landscaping supplies.
- Outdoor lighting to show off your new living area, as well as a great way to deter potential thieves
- You can buy a lawn mower that propels itself for easier use.
- Add some hdpe furniture made from high-quality hdpe sheets outside of the shed, which is ideal in the summer months as a place to relax
- Windows and skylights for natural light – this will make your small space feel much bigger
- French or bi-folding doors – if you have the budget! They work amazingly well with small spaces and will allow you to open up to the garden, making the room feel so much bigger
For your garage, inspect if your doors are still in good condition. This is one of the most overlooked tasks. If not, you can also get a garage door repair along with all those exterior improvements.
If you are looking for home improvements this year, converting your garden shed is the perfect way to extend living space without having to move home. Make sure you set a budget before you start this process, it’s easy to get carried away and face a real bill at the end of it. Most concrete garage specialists in the local area will be able to help with your she-shed dreams, so what are you waiting for? | <urn:uuid:7f652b48-a1da-4fa5-a77e-8a3b16944986> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.inreads.com/creating-the-perfect-she-shed-for-your-garden/ | 2024-04-14T23:06:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.961166 | 850 |
ONE OF GOOGLE'S latest innovations--Google Print--has earned the wrath of the Authors Guild, even though Google is helping to solve "a huge problem for the publishing industry," says Tim O'Reilly. "Because no one knows who owns many of the works in question, Google's innovative deal with libraries is the only practical approach. It sweeps up all the loose ends of forgotten rights and ignored works. As the public discovers the value of these works, publishers and authors are incentivized to track down and assert their ownership in order to opt-in to the revenue sharing offered by the Google Print service".
From the New York Times:
Search and Rescue
AUTHORS struggle, mostly in vain, against their fated obscurity. According to Nielsen Bookscan, which tracks sales from major booksellers, only 2 percent of the 1.2 million unique titles sold in 2004 had sales of more than 5,000 copies. Against this backdrop, the recent Authors Guild suit against the Google Library Project is poignantly wrongheaded.
The Authors Guild claims that Google's plan to make the collections of five major libraries searchable online violates copyright law and thus harms authors' interests. As both an author and publisher, I find the Guild's position to be exactly backward. Google Library promises to be a boon to authors, publishers and readers if Google sticks to its stated goal of creating a tool that helps people discover (and potentially pay for) copyrighted works. (Disclosure: I am a member of the publisher advisory board for Google Print. As the name implies, it is simply an advisory group, and Google can take or leave its suggestions.)
What's causing all the fuss? Google has partnered with the University of Michigan, Harvard, Stanford, the New York Public Library and Oxford University. Google will scan and index their library collections, so that when a reader searches Google Print for, say, "author's rights," the results point to books that contain that term. In a format that resembles its current Web search results, Google will show snippets (typically, fewer than three sentences of text from each page of each book) that include the search term, plus information about the book and where to find it. Google asserts that displaying this limited amount of content is protected by the "fair use" doctrine under United States copyright law; the Authors Guild claims that it is infringement, because the underlying search technology requires a digitized copy of the entire work.
I'm with Google on this one. It would certainly be considered fair use, if, for example, I circulated a catalog of my favorite books, including a handful of quotations from each book that helps people to decide whether to buy a copy. In my mind, providing such snippets algorithmically on demand, as Google does, doesn't change that dynamic. Google allows click-through to the entire book only if the book is in the public domain or if publishers have opted in to the program. If it's unclear who owns the rights to a book, only the snippets are displayed.
A search engine for books will be revolutionary in its benefits. Obscurity is a far greater threat to authors than copyright infringement, or even outright piracy. While publishers invest in each of their books, they depend on bestsellers to keep afloat. They typically throw their products into the market to see what sticks and cease supporting what doesn't, so an author has had just one chance to reach readers. Until now.
Google promises an alternative to the obscurity imposed on most books. It makes that great corpus of less-than-bestsellers accessible to all. By pointing to a huge body of print works online, Google will offer a way to promote books that publishers have thrown away, creating an opportunity for readers to track them down and buy them. Even online sellers like Amazon offer only a small fraction of the university libraries' titles. While there are many unanswered questions about how businesses will help consumers buy the books they've found through a search engine for printed materials that is as powerful as Google's current Web search, there's great likelihood that Google Print's Library Project will create new markets for forgotten content. In one bold stroke, Google will give new value to millions of orphaned works.
I'm sorry to see authors buy into the old-school protectionism of the Authors Guild, not realizing they're acting against their own self-interest. Their resistance can come only from a failure to understand the nature of the program. Google Library is intended to help readers discover copyrighted works, not to give copies away. It's a tremendous service to authors that will help them beat the dismal odds of publishing as usual.

Modern microchips are enormously complex — to design, to build and even to understand. At the same time, they’re also fairly simple: Electrical signals go in, something happens inside and electrical signals come out. That’s really it.
From that power-in/power-out perspective, chip architect Arik Gihon has tremendous influence. Based at Intel’s Israel design center, Gihon is the lead power management architect of the 12th Gen Intel® Core® processor family, code-named “Alder Lake.”
Power management means constantly juggling a feverishly changing set of demands: supporting all the different things a user is trying to do with their computer, keeping temperature in check, preserving battery life — and doing it all as quickly as possible.
Manage the Power, Control the Chip
By controlling the power, “we’re basically defining the way the CPU behaves,” Gihon confirms.
The job is only getting more complex. Demands compete — you can send more power to a part of the chip to make things go faster for the user at the cost of more heat and battery usage — and face increasing physical constraints. As the internal building blocks of chips get smaller following Moore’s Law, for instance, the number of components per area goes up, making heat management harder. (The current, or flow of electricity, through a modern fingernail-sized chip can surpass that of an entire house, Gihon says, though at much lower voltage.)
And leading-edge silicon is expensive, so every square millimeter comes at a premium. “Area is money,” Gihon says.
Luckily, Intel has plenty of ingenuity to throw at the complexity. Right now, “it’s extremely exciting to be an architect,” Gihon says. His toolbox spans process technologies, architecture, software, packaging, memory and more. Add to that a companywide push “to do big things” in a world of intensified competition and “you can almost do anything.”
A New Kind of Hybrid Puts Performance First
Anything, say, like introducing the new “performance hybrid” architecture that is coming with 12th Gen Core. The new chips combine two sets of processing cores: small Efficient-cores (or E-cores) that easily multiply to handle multiple jobs at once, and larger Performance-cores (P-cores), each with more per-core performance than anything Intel has produced to date1.
Press Kit: 12th Gen Intel Core
Unlike other hybrid approaches, Gihon says, the goal was not maximum efficiency — with performance secondary — but rather maximum performance. He explains that adding a large number of Performance-cores would achieve performance but lead to a chip simply too large. The Efficient-cores bring as much performance as 10th generation Performance-cores at less power and dramatically less area.
“You can add up a lot of them and then you get quite a lot of cores and you can scale multi-threaded applications,” Gihon says. “So together with that you can also go to the Performance-core team and tell them, ‘You know what? Now that I’ve solved the scaling of the amount of cores for multi-threading, then now go do your best in single-thread performance. You have less limitation on area.’”
That they did. The result is a single chip with both a set of super-cores for the most demanding jobs and another set of smaller-yet-still-fast cores for handling lots of simultaneous work.
As enticing as this no-compromise approach sounds today, Gihon says it sparked a series of debates among engineers and technical leaders. If “hybrid” makes you think of a platonic car that sheds the range anxiety of an all-electric at the expense of a more thrilling drive, well, some of the team felt that way, too.
The Art of Chip Design: Complexity Versus Value
But overcoming skepticism is part of the job when designing a system-on-chip (SoC). “SoC architects need to love the wide view of things, the big picture… [and they] need to like convincing people, giving a lecture,” Gihon explains. “If you have a vision, sometimes only after you explain things do you really understand what you want it to do.” Adding smaller E-cores for performance “took time to digest.”
After teams got the green light, the real work began: designing not just a new chip for desktop PCs but the full range for the PC market, notably laptops, 2 in 1s and mobile designs. “The architecture is built in a way that you can scale them up and down with building blocks,” Gihon says, mixing and matching said blocks for each scenario.
“It’s like building a puzzle,” he explains, “but instead of just connecting the parts, you need to put the puzzle parts far from each other and then build the complete highway network between the different parts so they will all work together. You need to do that in a way that satisfies many vectors.”
“We always have to debate between complexity and value,” he adds. “This is the artwork to balance.”
But the challenges don’t end when the design is done.
Welcome to ‘the Exciting Part’
“Every generation, after we have produced the silicon, we have learned or had to deal with new challenges that we did not know before,” he notes. “This is the exciting part! Sometimes the simulations do not reflect the physics well enough and you need to adjust things only after you see the silicon.”
“It’s a rapid world,” Gihon says. “Things are changing quite fast — software is changing, the amount of data is exploding.”
Predicting the future is only getting harder, and he’s responded by picking up his own pace. Prior to the pandemic, he explains, he did his best thinking on his 45-minute commute by train. Now he runs every day. “I’m doing distance runs like 10 kilometers, 20, and even reach 40 and the marathon. On Saturday long runs, I have hours of thinking with myself.”
Squeezing maximum performance out of a fixed amount of power, Gihon is in his element — even on a run. | <urn:uuid:ed77c6ec-f9df-461b-b1fe-8ade70123234> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/turning-power-into-intelligence-12th-gen-chips.html | 2024-04-15T01:03:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.955398 | 1,390 |
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government has announced that the distribution of 42,000 metric tons of grains across the 36 federation states will commence this week.
The Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Senator Abubakar Kyari made this known in a post on his X handle on Monday, March 4, 2024.
According to the minister, 58,500 metric tons of milled rice from mega rice millers will also be released into the market for stabilization.
- ATTENTION: Intel Region is ₦10,000 to our top readers, CLICK HERE to become a winner
He said the Ministry is working with the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, and the Department of State Service (DSS) to ensure the grains get to the right people in the right packages and quantities.
“In these trying times, I extend my sincere compassion to those affected by the hardships in the country. I understand the gravity of the situation, especially with the unfortunate event of foodstuff warehouses looting.
“Amidst these challenges, I want to assure you that our commitment to your well-being remains resolute. We shall commence the distribution of 42,000 metric tons of grains, as approved by Mr. President, across the 36 states of the federation as one of the programs to be rolled-out this week.
“We are working hand in hand with NEMA and the DSS to ensure that the grains get to the right people in the right packages and quantities. Furthermore, 58,500 metric tons of milled rice from mega rice millers will also be released into the market for stabilization,” the minister said.
Meanwhile, the Governor of Niger State, Mohammed Umaru Bago said the programme will be flagged off in Niger State.
Bago said that President Bola Tinubu would be in Niger State to flag-off the distribution of the food palliative as well as commission Agriculture Mechanisation initiated by the State Government.
He said his state has also procured 120 trucks of grains comprising rice, millet, sorghum, guinea corn and soybeans which would complement the intervention of the Federal Government palliatives in the state.
The governor expressed optimism that the vulnerables people would receive the palliative. | <urn:uuid:1076b187-21c6-4f92-8282-17e8ab2597bb> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.intelregion.com/news/tinubus-government-announces-date-to-commence-distribution-of-grains-to-nigerians/ | 2024-04-14T23:45:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.966035 | 468 |

Critics who have seen the first four episodes of Netflix’s big Marvel team-up series, The Defenders, have generally been positive but most note that the show has a slow start. What they mean by this is that it takes a while for Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist to actually get the gang together, but there’s a more on-the-nose place for this criticism. The introductory credits at the start of every episode are so incredibly boring and slow.
To be fair, The Defenders is nothing new in this regard. Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and the like all were somewhat infamous for their moody, atmospheric opening titles that dragged on for too long. But The Defenders’s intro, which lasts a full minute and ten seconds, is arguably the least interesting visually. Instead of purple-noir paintings like Jessica Jones or bleeding cityscapes like Daredevil, The Defenders offers up high-up views of the Manhattan street grid at night, with color-coordinated overlays of what looks like official promotional art of the four heroes.
It would be easier if you could just skip 1:10 at the start of each episode of The Defenders, but the episodes all kick off with a cold open, which keeps things exciting until the introductory credits grind everything to a halt.
Clearly, there are bigger problems in the world, and it’s not like we should be angry at Netflix for making us see the names of the people who made the content we’re about to enjoy. But, it’s puzzling that the credits are so long. Orange Is the New Black, another Netflix show, also comes under fire for its intro is similarly 1:10 long but feels like an epoch has gone by. Netflix thrives on the binge-viewing model, and throwing these lengthy snores at the start of each hour gets old and unnecessary almost immediately.
Long introductory credits can be good, when they’re engaging or adding something to the show Game of Thrones, for instance, uses a map and killer theme to great effect as it prepares viewers for what’s about to come. The Defenders’s elevator-music theme and Manhattan traffic map doesn’t feel like it serves any purpose other than to take up space.

Superposition, one of the weirder implications of quantum theory, says that at the quantum level — think atoms and molecules — objects can exist in two states at once. Scientists have shown this to work when dealing with these tiny particles, but they haven’t come up with a good way to explain why it doesn’t apply in real life. Now, scientists at the University of Queensland, the University of Vienna, and Harvard University think they’ve it figured out.
Quantum superposition is famously illustrated by the Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment, originally devised to illustrate the absurdity of the theory it has come to represent. Basically, there’s a cat in a sealed box whose life is dependent on the possible decay of a single atom. If that atom decays and emits radioactivity, the cat will die. If it doesn’t, then the cat lives. But of course we can’t know this until we open the box. The experiment forces us to consider one essential question: Why are phenomena observable in quantum particles not observable in cats?
This dilemma speaks to a larger issue — perhaps one of the greatest — in physics: Quantum theory is a set of laws governing the super-small, and we have general relativity to explain everything else, but we don’t have a unifying theory that applies to everything, no matter what size.
To explain our inability to observe quantum superposition in real life, scientists looked to Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Because they deal with vastly differing scales, quantum theory and general relativity rarely cross over, so this is a big deal in the physics world.
Specifically, the scientists applied Einstein’s idea of gravitational time dilation, which suggests that the flow of time slows down near macroscopic objects, like a cat, whereas it probably doesn’t for objects at the quantum level. Gravitational time dilation also has an effect on the vibration of atoms and the other tiny building blocks that make up composite objects: as these particles combine to form macro-scale objects, their vibrations slow down, and this disrupts quantum behavior in a phenomenon known as decoherence. In essence, the presence of gravitational time dilation is the reason we don’t observe quantum phenomena in real life.
In studying quantum mechanics, the “environment” around the particles — that is, the spacetime in which they exist — is usually ignored because the force of gravity is so weak compared to the quantum forces. By bringing general relativity theory into the mix, these scientists have taken a big step outside the box. | <urn:uuid:f6e03d91-a6c6-4eef-9b43-dbd98667448a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.inverse.com/science/3859-general-relativity-just-rescued-schrodinger-s-cat | 2024-04-15T00:32:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.928402 | 537 |

Millipedes are hardly harmful, in fact, they’re downright docile compared to other insects — more likely to curl up into a ball and hide than to attack. But just like any other creepy-crawly bug in your home, just because they aren’t especially dangerous doesn’t mean you want them infesting your basement. If you’ve been wondering about those many-legged pests you’ve seen around lately, here’s what you need to know about millipedes.
What Are Millipedes?
Thousands of species of millipedes have been discovered all over the world. While they share many similar attributes, no millipede actually has a thousand legs (although it might look like it). Millipedes are slender, long-bodied arthropods with either a few dozen or a few hundred legs. They are typically brown in color and are often said to resemble walking worms. Depending on the species, adult millipedes can range in size from 1/2 inch to 1 ½ inches in length, though in tropical locations, some specimens can exceed 10 inches. Millipede bodies are divided into segments, each with its own respective pair of legs.
Are Millipedes Dangerous?
Millipedes aren’t known to bite, spread disease, or cause significant destruction. Generally, these extra-long bugs are considered more of a nuisance than an actual danger to your property and family. However, millipedes can be harmful if handled.
When threatened, some millipedes will secrete a defensive fluid that contains hydrochloric acid. When handled, this fluid will burn and discolor the skin and poses a danger of damaging the eyes. Millipedes are also known to produce an odor that can linger on the skin long after contact. But these are defense mechanisms that millipedes use to protect themselves from predators, and millipedes won’t deliberately attack.
So, you probably shouldn’t try to pick up a millipede if you spot one, at least not with your bare hands. If, for some reason, you do feel the need to handle these many-legged bugs, wear gloves.
Why Do I Have Millipedes?
Millipedes prefer to live outdoors in damp, decaying environments. Millipedes are renowned for their recycling abilities, breaking down the organic materials in leaf piles, compost, and mulch and converting the nutrients back into the soil. Millipedes gravitate towards these types of environments, so unless your home is full of damp, decaying plants, you’re not likely to develop a millipede infestation. However, sometimes climate and weather circumstances will force millipedes indoors.
Following periods of heavy rain or prolonged drought, millipedes are likely to find their way inside. Finding their way in through basement windows, ventilation, and weather stripping, they typically inhabit humid areas like basements and crawl spaces. Millipedes will frequently seek shelter under storage boxes or furniture, often startling homeowners when they move things around. Although relatively harmless, millipedes can be upsetting to see, especially because they tend to move in large numbers.
Fortunately for you (and unfortunately for millipedes) infestations of millipedes don’t usually last very long. Millipedes require particularly high moisture levels to survive and will usually die off within a few days’ time.
You don’t want to deal with millipedes in your home. That’s why you can trust the professionals at Innovative Pest Control to handle it.

Youth Justice in Jersey: Options for change
The Report is grounded in the wider research on youth justice and a review of the
services offered to young people who break the law in Jersey. Accordingly, two
questions are posed. Firstly, what does research tell us about the essential
principles that should underpin ethical and effective practice with young people?
Secondly, how can these general underpinning principles be applied and
strengthened in the specific context of Jersey? The main Report duly

execMobile, a global connectivity provider for enterprise mobility and IOT, announces its ability to now deploy eSIMs to Android devices via a simple process, which has been available for iOS since November 2020.
eSIMs allow customers to make use of execMobile’s next-generation global enterprise mobility and IOT solutions without the need to purchase a physical SIM. Older methods for deploying eSIMs to devices involved employees scanning QR codes or downloading apps – all very cumbersome and time-consuming. execMobile has changed this and can now provision eSIMs via a zero-touch approach.
How is this possible?
EID stands for “embedded identity document” – this is a serial number corresponding to the eSIM installed in newer devices, notably smartphones, tablets, laptops, etc.
execMobile has made it possible to simplify the eSIM deployment process for organisations by making use of these EID numbers – both for Android and iOS devices. This is a first in South Africa.
eSIM technology is changing telecoms and provides users with a secure connectivity option, on multiple networks, that can be remotely managed. Global organisations benefit the most with this ability to remotely manage, provision and deploy new eSIM subscriptions in a simple, convenient and rapid manner.
This zero-touch capability, now also available for Android devices, makes it simple for IT managers to configure devices in a fast, easy and secure manner on a large scale. Contact us to discover how we continue to delight our customers. A comprehensive list of eSIM compatible devices is available from execMobile via our sales e-mail address.

When entering a ger, a host guide you head to the right side of a ger and show you where to sit. If you are wearing a hat, leave it on to enter the ger.
If you have been invited to someone’s house or visiting family in the countryside, it is customary for the host to offer alcohol. It shows that you are regarded as an honored guest. It is alright for you not to drink, but you can put the point of your finger in the vodka, then respectfully touch your forehead with the same finger. Then give back the vodka using your right hand. When you give it back, you may bow your head a little and say, “Uuchlaarai bi uudaggui” I am sorry, I don’t drink.
If you drink vodka, normally the host will make you drink vodka at least three times. It is also a custom.
Mongolians are very hospitable people. If you are full or cannot eat some food, they may still offer you more saying Dahiad ideerei, dahiad uugaarai – eat and drink more. You can reply Bayarlaa, Bi tsadsan – Thank you I am full.
Mongolians eat a lot of meat. During the cold season, people usually eat mutton and horse meat, because they believe it is hot type of meat and food that kind of meat provides warmth and energy to one’s stomach, especially the food buuz and dumplings.
When you visit the Mongolian family, bring some presents for their children or grandparents. It may sound strange, but it’s part of our culture.
When you visit a Mongolian family’s home, they usually show you a family photo album and like to talk.
It maybe not interesting for you, but it’s part of culture, so smile, look at them, and ask questions.
Usually, if you take their photo, they expect you to send hard paper photos. | <urn:uuid:f152d130-4699-4b03-9aef-0b0f0596c443> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.jamogrand.com/post/visiting-a-family | 2024-04-15T00:23:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.95133 | 420 |

ally, if you just gotta have Jeep’s most recent 4x4 truck, its 7,700-pound tow rating, and 1,725-pound payload, the 2024 Gladiator starts at $39,790.
I was going to get a Jeep anyway. Doors and top off?? Hell yeah!!! But the backseat size is just smart. When I have the top and doors off, I am usually going to do something really fun on the beach and I am generally taking people with me.Another main thing that swayed me towards my oil burner is in the mid size segment, the Glady has the MOST rear seat space (I test drove the new gen Tacoma and rear seats are still small and barely can fit 2 adults at the back). When I bought mine home and my teen kids went for a ride, the first thing they said was "dad...its so spacey over here than your old truck (Ford Ranger). Not to mention the amount of interior storage is another biggie on the Glady.
I mean Jeeps exist so they can tow Tacomas stuck in mud .
You want to tow and haul heavy stuff, get a full size truck, especially if you need to carry sheet goods on occasion. I'm looking for a Gladiator to tow my teardrop camper into the bush, keeping my half ton for truck stuff. I see the Sport with max tow and it's better payload as the only option for overlanding.But then - every level is purpose-designed and built. You wanna tow and haul heavy stuff - go for theSport with max tow.
Nope - I replaced my full-size Silverado with my Gladiator. The Gladiator does great. I've had absolutely no problems hauling sheet goods or crazy stuff in the back. It tows just fine as well. In fact, it tows my cars around fine while getting better mpg than my Chevy did.You want to tow and haul heavy stuff, get a full size truck, especially if you need to carry sheet goods on occasion. I'm looking for a Gladiator to tow my teardrop camper into the bush, keeping my half ton for truck stuff. I see the Sport with max tow and it's better payload as the only option for overlanding.
Last year at EJS I was able to drive Rubicon on Baby Lion's Back, which was flooded on the back side. I'd had concerns about how the transmission would behave off road, but that test drive sold me, I bought a Gladiator a few months later.Jeep had a press day at EJS running Mojaves up the slickrock side of Wipeout Hill. Not really much of a challenge but for press boobs they were probably wowed. They had Nena Barlow as a guide & spotter, so they were in good hands.
Mojave is an interesting package. Add a front locker and disconnect capability of some sort and you’d have the pick of the litter.
Ya I see how to get sheet goods above the wheel wells and I'm not impressed. I did a reno on a part of my mom's house and carried 44 sheets of 1/2 drywall in one shot. She lives 40 minutes from the store. You can't do that with a Gladiator, ever. Sure you can pick up a couple sheets of plywood here or there, and that's handy. But, I don't know that I would want to put a sheet or two of drywall on a couple of 2x4's and a half jacked tail gate for support.The Gladiator does great. I've had absolutely no problems hauling sheet goods or crazy stuff in the back.
Looking at the specs, my supercab 6.5 bed is about 13" longer. I park in the city all the time, no issues.Nope, don't want the parking troubles of a big truck | <urn:uuid:6e8e6edf-d119-4dab-9d81-acb9dc3e474c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/2024-gladiator-mojave-reviewed-in-moab-ut-by-motortrend.79454/ | 2024-04-14T23:17:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.974128 | 800 |

#1 and my favorite one out of these 4 is the Year in Review with Goals for 2021.
I love looking back over the year and finding the good in it. This year, at first glance, had lots of hard stuff, but thankfully plenty of good too. My favorite food this year would be...home cooked! And for games I would have puzzles!

We hope you all have a happy and healthy Christmas this year.
Our original idea for a Christmas video was to have our team come together dressed in their best Christmas garb to sing you a classic Christmas carol. Obviously, we can’t do that with COVID-19, so we decided to have each one of our team members wish you and your family a very happy and healthy holiday season. It’s been a crazy year, but we pray that you’re able to slow down, soak in some moments of peace, and enjoy the time with your family and loved ones.

Nothing makes me happier than a roaring fire! But unless your flue has been inspected and cleaned, it’s not a very good idea. After all, a far less popular holiday pastime is running out into a winter night in your pajamas because your flue caught on fire. Flue fires account for about 46,000 home fires yearly, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Although most homeowners made it out in time, the property damage that can result is often massive. Some flue fires will go undetected and may smoulder for a long time, while others will quickly burn a house to the ground....

Here are some convenient lists to help with your holiday shopping in 2020.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays! Today I’m sharing something a bit different: shopping lists.
There are lists for Target, Amazon, Etsy, and a special one I created called “Jenny’s Finds.” This list includes gifts I’ve bought over the years for my daughters because I always try to surprise them with something they didn’t even know they wanted. (If you have young adult daughters or family members, you may be interested in that one). Another list is for people who have just gotten out on their own or are first-time homebuyers. Finally, we included one with just some fun items in case you’re scratching your head about what to buy someone this year. ... | <urn:uuid:9eb9d516-f24f-4359-a3d9-b62f721d210e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.jennysmithandassociates.com/blog/month/12-2020/ | 2024-04-15T00:10:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.969466 | 600 |
In 1989, New Kids on the Block burst from stardust into the pop music lexicon. Groomed by music-industry impresario Maurice Starr as a white counterpart to the R&B group New Edition, NKOTB were icons to girls worldwide. Though their roots are traced to the hardscrabble Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, ultimately this group of boys—ages 17 to 21 at the time—performed digestible pop music, carving a rare safe space for girls in an era of chauvinist hair metal and increasing hyper-sexualized imagery.
The New Kids’ young voices were pumped through endless radio airplay and music video rotation. Their boyish good looks adorned legions of swag: from posters and t-shirts to dolls, lunch boxes, trading cards, and complete bedding sets. They even had their own Saturday morning cartoon. The original lineup included founding member Donnie Wahlberg’s younger brother Mark, who departed NKOTB for a questionable solo career before breaking out as an actor.
The iconic five-member lineup of Wahlberg, his high school friend Danny Wood, brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight, and young Joey McIntyre released a self-titled debut in 1986 to little fanfare. Hesitant to call it quits after just one record, Starr allowed the boys more input on their look and sound for their next album. And it made all the difference. Hangin’ Tough was released in September 1988, but it didn’t crack open until ’89, a storm that culminated in the title track peaking at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
“Hangin’ Tough” became as ubiquitous as Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song” leading up to the 2016 election, and was a similar rallying cry to stand tall and believe in yourself. It had a hook for nearly every type of kid. The ones who felt shy or outcast or bullied at school. The ones who were hyper-competitive. The ones who were into the new Nike “Just Do It” slogan and sports. Its simplistic chorus—a full body chant that set free happy brain chemicals—was easy to remember, and impossible to forget: “Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh/Hangin’ tough,” full stadiums sang, swaying arms like windshield wipers.
They were a fruitful model of male friendship. But more importantly, they provided a safe framework for earliest explorations of female sexuality.
Adorned in ripped jeans, black leather jackets, and endless, innocent flirtation, NKOTB became a stylish, posi posse worth celebrating. They were a fruitful model of male friendship. But more importantly, they provided a safe framework for early explorations of female sexuality. They were a haven from popular hair metal bands of the era, scary for girls in these earliest stages of puberty and sexual thought. In their music videos, Warrant and Mötley Crüe sang in coded language, flanked by provocatively dressed women planted solely for male gaze. Songs like “Cherry Pie” and “Girls, Girls, Girls” framed women and their body parts as inanimate accessories of male fantasy. Watching these videos was tantamount to being hunted, the rockers stalking, the women prey, as if any moment one lion in eyeliner might reach through the screen. NKOTB’s pecks on the cheek and serenading were a fool’s errand in this world.
The New Kids, by contrast, depicted women and girls as self-governing entities meant to be celebrated. In their videos, Jordan, Joey, Jon, Donnie, and Danny rode a ferris wheel with fully dressed, age-appropriate young women, or waved to groups of girlfriends from the back of a convertible. They offered flowers in acts of romance. They hugged girls in a chummy embrace—like that of a camp counselor—and joyfully, thankfully signed autographs.
The female subjects of NKOTB songs seemed in a holistically better position than the women of hair metal. But this also set NKOTB up for ridicule, as if their refusal to submit to such masculinity tropes made them undeserving of success. “New Kids on the Block suck a lot of dick/Boy and girl groups make me sick,” rapper Eminem declared on his song “Marshall Mathers.” Female sexuality in these earliest stages is so foreign that a reflexive cycle of insult-dismiss becomes the only coping mechanism for anything that harbors or celebrates it. Combine this fear-based othering with music, and there comes an all-out assault.
“To abandon control—to scream, faint, dash about in mobs—was, in form if not in conscious intent, to protest the sexual repressiveness, the rigid double standard of female teen culture,” the critic Barbara Ehrenreich wrote of Beatlemania in her book Re-Making Love. “It was the first and most dramatic uprising of women’s sexual revolution.” Since the ascent of The Beatles, critics have evoked imagery and language associated with debunked notions of female hysteria, to dismiss female fandom as something less serious than that of rock-focused male critics and fans. “At five million and counting, this isn’t the rank offense its demographic tilt would lead you to expect,” Robert Christgau wrote in The Village Voice, disparaging every girl fan before awarding Hangin’ Tough a C+. There’s an assumption that women and girls are naive, easy targets for the next marketing ploy hatched by the major-label industrial complex—that they’re too emotional to decide what’s good. Bedlam, hysteria, madness. These are the words attached to female fandom.
This ignores deep-rooted double standards for fans. It’s acceptable for men to scream at referees and for points scored during games, and at their musical heroes, but women cheering for their pop idols are mad. Such communal howling, such primal urges, have been co-opted by men for centuries. In this sense, NKOTB not only provided a structure for expressions of early female sexuality and revolution in the ’80s—they also leveled the playing field for expressions of fandom writ large. No longer were women and girls quiet as droves of men hollered at televisions in glass houses.
What this long-standing practice also ignores is that without these major arteries of female fans, the ascendance of The Beatles, and boy bands, and much of pop music excellence and success, would have never happened. Through shrewd listening, emotional intelligence, and unmatched dedication, women and girls ultimately curate what transcends popular music culture, and what doesn’t, from New Kids on the Block to One Direction.
Legions of aspirational groups have sought the female pop fan, and the accomplishment of NKOTB, and failed, because so much rings false to young women—emotionally, sexually and musically. Only acolytes the Backstreet Boys have eclipsed NKOTB’s album sales. In the new millennium, One Direction carries the torch as a rare exemplar of the harmony between a chosen boy band and its fans, where young women are empowered under a shared affection and regarded with a respect deserving of such loyalty.
In an era of aggressive commodification of the female body, New Kids on the Block offered the rare combination of contagious songs, compelling performances, and a safe space for the women and girls who commanded their success. With their early sexual awakening, unmatched devotion, and a sharp ear for musicality—and dancing—the fans who propelled the New Kids were anything but hysterical.

Recruiters sort through stacks of resumes every day. They’re looking for the best candidate for the job. It’s a competitive arena, where your resume speaks for you.
If your resume stands out, you’ve got a shot at getting to the interview round. If your resume is slapped together and doesn’t capture a recruiter’s attention, it’ll end up in the trash bin faster than you can blink your eyes.
Your resume is one of the most important tools in the job search. It’s up to you to create and design a resume that will ultimately get you hired. Take five minutes and let’s look at your resume. Does it make you want to hire you? Are you really the best candidate for the job? Is your resume ultimately going to get you an invitation to the interview round? Maybe it’s time to tweak your resume.
First things first, if you’ve done anything cool at work, add it to your resume right now. Did you receive an award, change job titles, switch companies, earn a certification, join a professional organization, or perform well at work? Add it to your resume so you don’t forget.
Next, let’s delete a few things that you absolutely must ditch from your resume:
- Personal Information – Resumes are professional documents not a spotlight on your personal life. Ditch the social security number, hair color, sex, current employer’s phone number, Instagram account, MySpace page, emergency contact details, etc. Recruiters don’t usually care about your hobbies, interests, or personal blogs. Keep it pro and to the point.
- Unrelated Experience – No one cares that you used to sharpen ice skates two decade ago or that you painted houses during summer vacation. Keep your resume focused on experience that relates to the job you are applying for. This could be from prior work experience, volunteering, university studies or projects, or internships. If it doesn’t somehow relate to the job you’re applying for, forget it.
- Lies – Whatever you do, don’t lie on your resume. Don’t make up a big time CEO job for a fake job or lie about earning a degree. It will come back to haunt you. Recruiters check things like this. It’s a small world and if you do make it to the interview round, questions about your stellar resume will come out. Then you’ll be labeled a liar and you’ll have a very hard time ever finding a job.
- Objective Statement – For years, you’ve heard that an objective statement is mandatory as it helps to customize the resume. Unfortunately, most people fumble the objective statement by writing something so specific that it ruins their chances of getting a job. Just leave it off.
- GPA – Unless you’re a new graduate with an outstanding GPA, don’t mention your GPA. Recruiters don’t care. They want to see your experience, not your cumulative GPA that includes courses that are completely unrelated to your future job.
Find more things to remove from your resume on the JobMonkey Blog.
We all want to find a job. One of the first steps in the job search is to get your resume dialed in. You need that thing to impress recruiters and leave them wanting to learn more about you.
Add a few things, ditch some other things, but make your resume do the work for you. Will your resume get you to the interview round? If not, keep tweaking. Or hire a resume writer to get the job done for you. | <urn:uuid:5497a85d-c917-4ffe-90e0-34ba0600faf4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.jobmonkey.com/ditch-things-from-resume/ | 2024-04-14T23:18:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816904.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20240414223349-20240415013349-00867.warc.gz | en | 0.937151 | 769 |
WILKES-BARRE — John Chrin brought his congressional campaign to Luzerne County on Tuesday, stopping at four locations to, as he says, “put his finger on the pulse of voters.”
Chrin stopped in Hazle Township to tour Atlantic Carbon Coal’s strip mining operation and then stopped at Immanuel Christian School, 725 N. Locust St., Hazleton.
Before heading to Pulverman Manufacturing in Dallas, Chrin visited Two Jacks Cycle & Powersports, 338 Coal St., Wilkes-Barre.
“I like to visit businesses and talk to the owners, employees and customers to hear what’s on their minds,” said Chrin. “I want to hear the positives and the negatives so I can get an idea of what’s important to all.”
Chrin, 55, of Monroe County, is the Republican candidate in the 8th Congressional District. He is trying to unseat three-term Democrat Matt Cartwright of Moosic in November.
Chrin met with Bill Davis, owner of Two Jacks, who suggested he look into getting government approval for ATVs and side-by-side vehicles to enter state and federal parks. Chrin said a fee could be charged that would add significant money to the state and federal coffers.
Davis appreciated Chrin coming to his business to discuss issues.
“It’s good of him to check on small businesses like mine,” Davis said. “I asked him to consider looking into getting access for the vehicles we sell here on game lands and parks.”
Davis said he has 16 employees at Two Jacks, the business he has owned since 2008. He sells ATVs, side-by-sides, jet skis and motorcycles.
Chrin said his campaign has been gong well. He said he feels momentum building as the election enters its final weeks, even as Cartwright tries to label him as a Wall Street banker from New Jersey.
“The key is to stay energized and to stay on point,” said the candidate. “I have to emphasize the stark difference between myself and my opponent.”
Chrin said if voters want a congressman who favors higher taxes, job-killing regulations, high costs for health care and sanctuary cities, then they should vote for Cartwright.
“If you think Nancy Pelosi is good for the country, then don’t vote for me,” said Chrin.

Chris Brown is in the midst of controversy after saying some real disrespectful words about Kanye West. His outburst has left the hip-hop world wondering why he’s coming at someone who just had them featured on their album.
Why Did Chris Brown Diss Kanye West after He Released DONDA?
Not too long ago out of nowhere Chris Brown posted a message on Instagram saying,
“Kanye a Whole Hoe. Nah he Tweakin”.
Immediately conspiracy theories start to fly as people tried to figure out what was going on. Some people think Kanye West took a Chris Brown verse off the DONDA album, and he’s not happy about it. That theory went viral after Soulja Boy voiced his displeasure to being left off DONDA despite auditioning for it.
Another theory based on an unconfirmed rumor that Drake has a single dropping soon with Chris Brown on it, so he’s dissing Kanye West to pledge allegiance to OVO in advance.
As you can see nobody knows what’s going on right now, it’s madness. Chris Brown calling Kanye West a “hoe”?
The most believable theory is that Kanye West left a Chris Brown verse of DONDA. Most people would agree that Chris Brown is at his best when he’s singing, not when he’s trying to rap. There’s a chance Kanye just didn’t think it fit with the album. Maybe his comment has nothing to do with the album at all.
It should be noted the Chris Brown’s vocals are on DONDA just not in rapping form.
