A recipient of the 2015 Avery Fisher Career Grant, as well as a top prizewinner of the 2012 Walter W. Naumburg Competition and the Astral Artists’ 2010 National Auditions, Kristin Lee is a violinist of remarkable versatility and impeccable technique who enjoys a vibrant career as a soloist, recitalist, chamber musician, and educator. “Her technique is flawless, and she has a sense of melodic shaping that reflects an artistic maturity,” writes the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and The Strad reports, “She seems entirely comfortable with stylistic diversity, which is one criterion that separates the run-of-themill instrumentalists from true artists.” Kristin Lee has appeared as soloist with leading orchestras including The Philadelphia Orchestra, St. Louis Symphony, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, New Jersey Symphony, Rochester Philharmonic, Milwaukee Symphony, Tacoma Symphony, Hong Kong Philharmonic, Nordic Chamber Orchestra of Sweden, Ural Philharmonic of Russia, Korean Broadcasting Symphony, Guiyang Symphony Orchestra of China, Orquesta Sinfonica Nacional of Dominican Republic, and many others. She has performed on the world’s finest concert stages, including Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, the Kennedy Center, Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Steinway Hall’s Salon de Virtuosi, Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, the Ravinia Festival, Philadelphia’s World Cafe Live, (Le) Poisson Rouge in New York, the Louvre Museum in Paris, Washington, D.C.’s Phillips Collection, and Korea’s Kumho Art Gallery. An accomplished chamber musician, Kristin Lee is a member of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, performing at Lincoln Center in New York and on tour with CMS throughout each season.
Performance highlights include concerts presented by the San Francisco Symphony with Itzhak Perlman, Amarillo Symphony, Chamber Music Sedona, a tour with the Silk Road Ensemble, Parlance Chamber Concerts, Moab Music Festival, Music in the Vineyards, Lyra Music Festival, Olympic Music Festival, North Carolina New Music Initiative, the Leicester International Music Festival, the Musicians Emergency Fund at Lincoln Center, as well as performances with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and Camerata Pacifica. Reflecting on both her personal journey and her professional journey, Kristin Lee has developed a new project, Americana, which showcases a spectrum of illustrious composers and the American musical styles which influenced them, as well as their own musical styles which influenced generations of composers to come. As a foreign-born citizen of America, Lee was compelled to select this unique collection of works to express her pride of the country she now calls her own, and offers recital programs that have a distinct and recognizable sound of American music and its rich history. Lee’s many honors include awards from the 2015 Trondheim Chamber Music Competition, 2011 Trio di Trieste Premio International Competition, the SYLFF Fellowship, Dorothy DeLay Scholarship, the Aspen Music Festival’s Violin Competition, the New Jersey Young Artists’ Competition, and the Salon de Virtuosi Scholarship Foundation. She is also the unprecedented First Prize winner of three concerto competitions at The Juilliard School – in the Pre-College Division in 1997 and 1999, and in the College Division in 2007.
Born in Seoul, Lee began studying the violin at the age of five, and within one year won First Prize at the prestigious Korea Times Violin Competition. In 1995, she moved to the United States and continued her musical studies under Sonja Foster. Two years later, she became a student of Catherine Cho and Dorothy DeLay in The Juilliard School’s Pre-College Division. In January 2000, she was chosen to study with Itzhak Perlman. Lee holds a Master’s degree from The Juilliard School. She is a member of the faculty of the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College and the co-founder and artistic director of Emerald City Music in Seattle.

Recovering after an affair is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I know there is no right or wrong way, so I am just trying to do what I can to live for the present and imagine a brighter future.
Yesterday I was excited to know that Tanya was not perfect. Today I am upset because I learned that their relationship was not perfect.
That is, after Doug’s emotional affair he seemed like a different person to me because of the type of person he chose to have the affair with. She was different in personality and interests than what I believed Doug was attracted to.
So naturally I questioned him if these were traits that he found exciting and attractive. He answered the question fine, and said “no not really,” and then went on to explain that she was a very jealous person and had a hard time on the weekends. She didn’t like being away from him or for him to spend time with his family.
The answer was very hard for me to hear, because in my mind it revealed the seriousness of their relationship. As unhealthy and wrong that their relationship was, his answer confirmed everything I was trying to deny. Their relationship contained hurt, jealousy, insecurity and closeness. It had everything our relationship was missing at the time, but all of the components that represent a real relationship. For me that is one of the most difficult things to accept and forget.
I have a difficult time accepting the fact that the man I married was capable of allowing himself to get involved with someone so deeply. I suppose I was being naïve, but I really thought he believed in our commitment as much as I did– in good times and bad.
I know I will never truly understand how hurt and angry he was with me and our relationship to justify breaking that commitment, and finding someone else who he thought could fill the void. I just have a hard time forgetting and moving on.
I wonder if this is normal. Is there something wrong with me? Do I need counseling or drugs? Maybe I didn’t go through the healing steps in the correct order.
Doug gets frustrated and thinks I don’t want to move on. He doesn’t know how much pain I am in and if he did he would understand that there is nothing else in the world I want more than to forget. Doug doesn’t know that the memories pop in my head constantly throughout the day and that some days I feel I am being punched in the stomach because of the hurt.
Just because I don’t talk about it everyday, the pain is still there filling my head until I have to let it out. I know it’s hard for Doug to see me going through this. Hurting me is the last thing on earth he wanted to do. I know that he wants to forget this whole mess and move on, and he is doing everything he can to make things right. For me though, I worry if it ever be right.
What is right?
I know now that we’re building the relationship we have always wanted. I know that there is no one else that I want to share my life with. So what is wrong with me? Is the hurt too much to make this right? I wonder did I believe in him too much? Did I put him and our relationship on this pedestal only now to have a hard time realizing that neither was perfect? I know that it wasn’t perfect, but was it really that bad for Doug to live a totally different life with another women? I don’t know.
I suppose the answers will come with time and the pain will lesson with each passing day. I know that it is unrealistic to believe that it will ever go away completely or that I will every truly understand and accept it all. I just hate when the reality hits me like it did today. I hate that I can feel on top of the world one day and want to crawl under the covers the next. I guess that is what recovering from an affair is all about.
I have been very fortunate in my life that I never have had to face a major loss, disappointment or betrayal. I am very new to this and in some ways going through it blindly.
Recovering from an affair is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I know there is no right or wrong way, so I am just trying to do what I can to live for the present and imagine a brighter future. | <urn:uuid:f33d710c-c8b6-4df6-85d4-6607eba834ac> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.emotionalaffair.org/recovering-from-an-affair-roller-coaster-ride/ | 2024-04-16T05:18:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.990357 | 926 |

Ford Ranger PHEV 2025: Changes, Specs, and Cost. The honest Ford Ranger 2025 PHEV is going on sale in America, per records. This design will certainly end up being initial plug-in hybrid pickup truck in USA and it will directly measure up to Toyota Tacoma. The 2025 Ranger has actually been introduced last month. It will have three powertrain choices and also it will somewhat depart from its sibling in Australia.
A plug-in hybrid version will certainly be a video game changer. On the other hand, we don’t understand if this model is coming this year, or in early 2025. Regardless, Ranger PHEV will obtain a lot of points from Bronco SUV. While we are waiting to hear more information, this is what we understand presently.
The Ford Ranger 2025 remains to defend leading honors in America’s mid-size truck market amongst rivals like the Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier, and also Chevrolet Colorado. The Ford is not a brand-new cars and truck whatsoever, and the 2025 version is the last design year of the existing T6 generation that initially arrived in the USA in 2019. This model has actually been on sale in global markets considering that 2011, and a new Ranger is already for sale in markets such as Europe, Australia, and South Africa, and shows up in the US this year as a 2025 version.
As for the old Ford Ranger we review right here, it’s still powered by the very same 270-horsepower turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine connected to a ten-speed automatic, and also it can be had in 2 cab designs and also with 2 bed sizes. It offers an option between 2WD and 4WD. In spite of its age, it still installs a worthy fight, with a solid powertrain and also excellent towing qualifications. It goes into its last model year with nary a modification with the exception of an adjustment to the paint palette and a new available package.
First Plug-In Hybrid Pickup in the USA
It seems like several vehicle manufacturers skipped the hybrid powertrain and went straight for a full electrification. Consequently, we currently have numerous all-electric trucks. Thanks to that, the Ford Ranger 2025 PHEV might end up being the extremely initial pickup in USA with plug-in hybrid powertrain. Toyota is regularly upgrading Tacoma and also Expanse versions, and Ford Maverick is currently readily available with a traditional hybrid arrangement.
Nonetheless, Ranger will certainly be the first one with PHEV choice. In Australia, we expect similar end result, if not the same. No matter what happens, mid-size Ranger will supply at the very least 3 engine choices in years to find. Once Again, Ford Bronco SUV will have fantastic influence on the upcoming Ranger. As a result of that, 2 models will share the same hybrid powertrain.
Ford Ranger 2025 Changes: What’s The Difference vs The 2024 Ranger?
The 2025 Ranger progress essentially the same this year, yet it obtains a new paint color called Azure Gray Metallic Tri-Coat, replacing the now-discontinued Cyber Orange. Apart from that the brand-new Sprinkle Jungle Edition aesthetic bundle appears for the flagship Lariat trim with the SuperCrew body. This bundle gets its very own unique new color called Eruption Green Metallic and it gets a black mesh grille.
What Regarding Electric Ranger?
As we previously reported, Blue Oval carmaker already submit trademark applications for Ranger Rumbling model. Not only that, F-150 Rumbling and also Radical Rumbling are additionally under the hallmark. Certainly, F-150 Rumbling became F-150 Lightning, but electric lineup is broadening.
Natural outcome is an all-electric Ranger. The approaching 2025 Ford F-150 PHEV will certainly be a nice bridge in between routine Ranger and Ranger EV. On the other hand, many records are claiming that the all-electric Ranger will certainly not arrive in following 3 or four years.
Ford Ranger PHEV Changes and Specs
The upcoming Ford Ranger 2025 PHEV will be brand new, as Blue Oval supplier intends to introduce next-generation. Redesign is on the method, both in and out. New Ranger will sport bolder design, motivated by the larger F-150 model. The interior will additionally see transformations. Thanks to that, the consumers need to expect much more innovation, higher level of convenience and also improved safety. Under the hood, we currently stated that there will be three engine choices.

For the past three years, Julia Rennquist and her family have participated in the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota’s Rise Above Seizures Walk. The walk provides families with a sense of hope in their personal fights against epilepsy. It is a time to come together – to celebrate the small victories and do something meaningful for the epilepsy community by raising dollars for education and support.
Epilepsy has been a part of Misty and JP Rennquist’s lives for the past three years. Their daughter, Julia, first developed seizures when she was two years old. After a week in the hospital and further testing, Misty and JP learned that Julia has a seizure disorder caused by a gene (DEPDC5) mutation which presents in focal, simple partial, and complex partial seizures.
Worried by their daughter’s new diagnosis and with numerous questions, Misty and JP turned to EFMN and quickly connected with Duluth’s Regional Coordinator, Lisa Peterson. Lisa visited the Rennquist family in the hospital and was an ally in Julia’s journey with epilepsy. EFMN gave them a spark of hope when dealing with the new behaviors, reactions, confusion, and fear of their daughter’s diagnosis.
Through EFMN, the Rennquist family has found connections with other families experiencing similar situations. In addition, Misty and JP became more familiar with epilepsy through EFMN’s resources and education programs. EFMN gives them an outlet to make a difference – especially through the Rise Above Seizures Walk. When asked what advice she would give new Team Captains, Misty advised that they give their friends and families an opportunity to participate. “If they feel that they are part of a team and that your cause is important, they will be happy to donate and to raise money along with you.”
For families that are struggling with their child’s new diagnosis, Misty provides a reminder of hope: “Reach out to others. You are not alone. There are many people who know what you are going through and understand. Also, educate yourself! Absolutely connect with EFMN. They helped us with resources and education, and still continue to do so.” | <urn:uuid:b51d548b-0c5a-4f44-bcea-e7a0cf8fc80f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.epilepsyfoundationmn.org/2017/05/02/meet-julia-rennquist/ | 2024-04-16T05:34:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.970322 | 460 |

Applying for Energy Efficiency and Retrofit works
Planning and Listed Building Consents
Internal works will normally require consent if the building is listed. For external works, planning permission (and listed building consent) may be required, however this is subject to designations e.g. listed building or Conservation Area, and the works being proposed. Refer to the Planning Portal’s interactive house and When is permission required? guidance for further information regarding when planning permission is required, and contact the LPA
Heritage Statements and Heritage Impact Assessments
If planning permission or listed building consent is required, the proposal must be supported with a heritage statement, which describes the significance of any heritage assets affected. The level of detail should be proportionate to the assets’ importance and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the proposal on their significance. For example, for a listed building, if the proposed works are intrusive and result in a high number of changes, a detailed report including the historic development of the building and an understanding of the existing fabric must be provided. This may have to be supported with additional reports such as a condition survey and a structural survey. It is good practice to undertake a Heritage Statement at the outset of the project, given the understanding of significance is fundamental to forming appropriate schemes.
To understand the significance of a building, the assessment must be in line with Historic England’s Advice Note 12: Statements of Heritage Significance: Analysing Significance in Heritage Assets
Assessing Impacts of Energy Efficiency Measures
The NPPF outlines how the impact of proposals, including energy efficiency measures, should be assessed. Paragraph 195 states that local authorities ‘avoid or minimise any conflict between the heritage asset’s conservation and any aspect of the proposal.’
When assessing the impacts of energy efficiency measures to designated heritage assets, Paragraph 199 notes that great weight should be given to the conservation of the designated heritage asset, and a clear and convincing justification is required by Paragraph 200 of the NPPF. As such, whilst energy efficiency measures could be considered as a clear and convincing justification, particularly when the works are to make the building compliant with building regulations or improvements for EPC ratings, this should not be detrimental to the conservation and significance of the building or heritage asset, and great weight will be afforded to this principle. As a ‘rule of thumb’, the higher the level of harm to a designated heritage asset that will result from proposed energy efficiency measures, the greater the public benefits that are required to outweigh the harm. These public benefits will be challenging to justify at the scale of a single property.
Planning permission and listed building consent only applies to certain buildings and works, however Building Regulations apply for any type of building, and is subject to the type of work being carried out.
Guidance for when approval will be required can be found here: Building regulations approval: When you need approval
Work covered by building regulations
The Building Regulations 2010 cover the construction and extension of buildings. The guidance sets out building regulations approval for may be needed for a number of alteration projects, this includes:
- replace fuse boxes and connected electrics
- install a bathroom that will involve plumbing
- change electrics near a bath or shower
- put in a fixed air-conditioning system
- replace windows and doors
- replace roof coverings on pitched and flat roofs
- install or replace a heating system
- add extra radiators to a heating system
Approved Documents for Energy Efficiency Measures
There are a number of relevant Approved Documents for Energy Efficiency Measures, including:
The requirements of Energy Efficiency Measures to apply and when a building is exempt is cover by Approved Document L. Further guidance on this application of this document has been provided by Historic England: EEHB: Application of Part L of the Building Regulations to historic and traditionally constructed buildings.
Due to the impacts that energy efficiency measures and retrofit can have on the building and its performance, Approved Document F and Approved Document O also apply to minimise the risks of the project.

The Lucy Rayner Foundation was created to raise awareness of the physical and mental health of those suffering depression, with a focus on young adults. The foundation offer specific services such as free counselling, support groups, school programmes and workshops, all with the objective of helping to educate young adults to build up emotional resilience and to thrive in society.
Ethical Good supported this wonderful organisation with the creation of a Theory of Change strategy, to help them to clarify their objectives, desired outcomes and impact goals (see below).
We believe that strategic planning within a charity is essential in order for that charity to effectively support their cause. The Lucy Rayner team worked in collaboration with Ethical Good to outline their clear impact goals and the expected outcomes within defined time scales. One of their central impact goals is to help young adults develop the emotional resilience and it is a guiding principle for the different programmes that are being developed by the organisation. With this big goal in mind, we worked with them to break this down into more specific tangible outcomes that can be measured, for example that people with mental health have increased confidence and positivity in their lives.
Encouraging charities to consider their impact goals and target outcomes is an important part of the process in creating a theory of change. Carrying out this strategic work helped The Lucy Rayner Foundation to produce an internal strategy and ensured that all staff members and stakeholders understood the organisation's priorities.

"We're just really good friends and we talk about everything, and we never ever, ever lie to each other, like, not even the tiniest lies," the Scandal star said about the secret to maintaining their longtime relationship, especially amid last summer's string of celeb splits. "And she's the only person I want to hang out with. Like, she is my best friend and I just want to be with her all the time."
"She's just so awesome!" she added. "Who wouldn't want to be with Ellen all the time?"
In September, the 57-year-old comedian slammed tabloid reports that the two were breaking up. DeGeneres and de Rossi have been dating since 2004, and tied the knot in 2008, after the overturn of the same-sex marriage ban in California.
"We really don't almost break up, we don't fight, we're madly in love, and I guess it's boring," DeGeneres told Howard Stern on his SiriusXM radio show.
But de Rossi's relationship wasn't all the former Ally McBeal actress opened up about at the star-studded bash over the weekend. The actress also gave us the scoop on the couple's recent holiday vacation, when the two were photographed with rumored new item Harry Styles and Kendall Jenner in the Caribbean.
"We just talked and hung out for a little bit, and they're lovely people and we just had fun," de Rossi said. "They're really great. I love Harry especially, and I'm just getting to know Kendall, but you know, they're great."
When ET caught up with DeGeneres at the People's Choice Awards last Wednesday, the talk show host might have insinuated that the two young stars are romantically involved, though Styles and Jenner have never confirmed anything about their relationship. | <urn:uuid:6ee74d45-a14e-4c3d-b78c-1bd8044d875a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.etonline.com/news/179763_portia_de_rossi_gushes_over_wife_ellen_degeneres?utm_campaign=buffer&utm_content=buffer1a37d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com | 2024-04-16T04:25:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.982944 | 378 |

In this edition of Utalk, Daniel from Portugal asks: “How can we increase austerity measures to solve the crisis without sacrificing the middle class and the working class as they are the backbone of our society?”
His question was answered by Daniel Gros, Director of the Centre for European Policy Studies in Brussels.
“It’s a very important question. Today I think austerity is no longer needed because the adjustment is almost over. But of course, over the last ten years, over the last fiver years rather, Portugal had to undertake very important austerity measures and a part of the middle class has to be sacrificed.”
“It was unavoidable because Portugal has a very large external current account deficit, so it was living from money borrowed from abroad. And that could not go on. So, the acute crisis is over but the real work has only started and will take another five to ten years.
“Countries like Portugal or Spain and others, now have to work to increase their exports. It’s only by increasing their exports that they can allow themselves higher consumption and by then increase their standard of living and also their employment.”
“Ten years for such a profound adjustment is not a very long period. It does not mean ten years of very high unemployment but it means ten years during which the main focus has to be exports and competitiveness that will allow unemployment to go down, employment to increase slowly at the beginning and much quicker at the end.”

Evolution and creation do not have different evidence. We share the same fossils, rock layers, and living organisms. We differ in our worldviews. Each side begins with a different belief about origins and events in the distant past.
Both sides agree that the fossil record, as imperfect as it may be, is a record of the burial order of once-living things that are now dead and fossilized in sedimentary layers. It is logical that, for the most part, the lower layers are older than the higher layers. In other words, the lower layers were laid down first, then the next layer, then the next, and so on. In these regards, there is no argument. However, fossils do not form slowly as imagined by gradualism but are likely formed under very rapid catastrophic conditions.
We differ in the duration of time it took for these layers to form.
Evolution proclaims billions of years have passed since the first life forms were fossilized and then through eons of time more were formed very slowly. Further, the transitions from marine to land burials in the higher levels of sedimentary layers are indications of evolution: simpler marine creatures becoming more complex land creatures.
Creationist argue that perhaps the fossils formed during the biblical account of the Flood of Noah. The bible states that these flood waters were global and covered even the highest mountain tops where we also find marine fossils today.
Additionally, the global flood account says the flood waters persisted for one year before land was visible, therefore these massive sedimentary layers were laid down over approximately a year plus the years as the waters receded.
We can say mega-sequences are indication of the sorting of materials by flood waters. Creationists also point out the complex life was apparent from the very lowest layers of the Cambrian where animals such as the horseshoe crab which is alive and well today as a living fossil: still relatively unchanged. Lastly, the majority of fossils are marine accounting for about 95% of all fossils. The remaining 5% are composed of all other types including amphibians, birds, fresh water creatures, land animals (including dinosaurs) but most are plants and fish. | <urn:uuid:63a0b8a2-0ecd-48e1-99c1-e01b54e1f77c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.evolutionisamyth.com/biblical/fossil-record-is-a-burial-order-just-how-fast-it-happened-is-the-difference/ | 2024-04-16T03:25:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.977581 | 439 |
Various unstoppable disaster predictions over the recent decades to consider:
FAMINE. Predicted in 1967, a Los Angeles Times article reported an inevitable worldwide famine that would certainly strike by 1975. Dr. Paul Ehrlich stated at a science symposium at the University of Texas that the “time for famines” was upon us. He claimed this was the case because the world population was out of control. He noted that “the battle to feed humanity will end in a rout.” A Stanford University biologist put the predicament into a bleak reality that “It is already too late for the world to avoid a long period famine.”1 These claims , although made by reputable scientists, proved to be false.
OVERPOPULATION. Dr. Paul Ehrlich predicted that in 1969 the population would find everyone dead before science might provide enough evidence to prove it to be so. Dr. Ehrlich wrote in his best-selling 1968 book “The Population Bomb” that, “In the 1970’s, hundreds of millions of people will starve to death” due to world overpopulation. He summed it up with a grave summation: “We must realize that unless we are extremely lucky, everybody will disappear in a cloud of blue steam in 20 years.” 1 This doomsday prediction, of course, never occurred.
ICE AGE. Also smugly called “global cooling” by many as contrast to modern day’s crisis of global warming was predicted in the early 1970’s by a variety of pop scientific writings and soothsayers. James P. Lodge spoke at the Institute of Environmental Sciences and proclaimed (among many other fear inspiring predictions) that air pollution would soon obscure sunlight and begin the next ice age. Lodge pointed out that this was also partly because we were “already consuming more oxygen then…green plants reproduce.” Lodge envisioned this ice age to be upon us by the start of the 21st century (by the year 2000).1 A Brown University article predicted in 1972 that this ice age would be upon us but they saw it arriving by 2070.1 Lou Dobb’s as a newscaster noted an obvious concern in recent days that that if we went back to the 1970’s we find the fear of global cooling—which today is now a fear of global warming. Even a 1977 Newsweek cover described the impending the ice age while in contrast in 2006 it was predicting global warming. Global cooling or an ice age never emerged in reality.
TOO MUCH GARBAGE- OVERFILLED LANDFILLS. In the 1970’s the federal government began requiring landfills to install lining systems to prevent leaking to outside the landfill as a means of environmental protection. These new expensive requirements caused a new fear to propagate: there was not enough space for all our trash! Of course, this was a false narrative. Today, while the total number of landfills has shrunk from more than 7,600 in the mid-1980’s to roughly 1,900 as of 2013, modern landfills are much more efficient and larger than their predecessors. Also, as per the EPA, due to recycling and other efforts to reduce waste, the amount of trash going into landfills has dropped from 145.3 million tons in 1990 to 134.3 million tons by 2013.1 The fear of overran landfills was a myth.
WATER & FOOD RATIONING. Predicted in 1970 by Dr. Paul Ehrlich (he did a lot of predictions that never happened) believed that our oceans would quickly become “as dead as Lake Erie in less than a decade” and the nation of America would be requiring water rationing by 1974. Ehrlich also saw food rationing would also become required by 1980 in America.1 While the rationale behind these concerns was loosely based in science, none of these predictions came to pass.
OZONE DEPLETION: Predicted in 1974 the ozone would be endangered within a single year by 1975. The reality was it was too late to stop the crisis. The thinning of the ozone layer caused by Freon used in refrigerators and Styrofoam in disposable consumer products had carved the tombstone already. Dr. Donahue of the University of Michigan predicted that the thinned ozone layer would cause the globe climate backwards several hundred million years into the past. “We appear to be on the verge of a period of great peril to life on this globe.” Donahue pointed to a University of Michigan study which revealed that it was too late, even if all emissions were halted immediately, the ozone layer would be destroyed by 1990. Dr. Esch, also from the University of Michigan added while testifying at an environmental subcommittee hearing that “…it may already be too late to prevent serious depletion…and (this) unnerving prediction that the ozone destruction will almost certainly result…no matter what steps we take in the next 12 months.” 1 Important steps were taken to protect the ozone layer and many scientists consider our ozone layer healed or healing. While steps were needed to protect the ozone layer the grave conclusions were proven to be vastly overstated.
ACID RAIN KILLER OF LIFE. First predicted in the early 1980’s acid rain was thought to be killing fish in many lakes including in the US and Canada. Acid rain was destroying lakes at a staggering rate. Deputy minister of Canada’s environmental agency stated, “We’re simply not prepared to contemplate leaving the generations of the next century with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of sterile lakes.” The main culprits of this disaster were identified as the coal burning electric plants that were emitting sulfur into the atmosphere. However, within 10 short years from the date of these claims, it was determined that the predictions were largely false. The problems with dying fish were much more complex and involved insecticides and other pollutants. While studies did find a correlation between coal burning electric plants and their sulfur emissions the direct tie toward acid rain as flimsy at best. Here, again, there was cause for concern but the “flat out crisis” as originally decried was overstated.1
RISING OCEAN LEVELS TO COVER ISLANDS: Predicted in 1988 by U.N. Environmental officials, “…entire (island) nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by the year 2000…” As an example the Maldives Island nation home to over 200,000 citizens will be completely underwater in the Indian Ocean by this time. Mr. Hussein Shihab of The Environmental Affairs Department stated that the rising ocean levels would be “catastrophic” for most islands which are no more than a meter above sea level. Shihab estimated the oceans to rise 20-30 centimeters over the next few decades. Most scientists believe that, “there is nothing we can do to stop” this from happening. An article in 1988 predicted that New York Cities west side highway would be underwater by 2019.1 Of course, these predictions never manifested.
CHILDREN WILL NEVER SEE SNOW AGAIN. An article in 2000 from The Independent stated that due to global warming, snowfalls would disappear in our lifetimes. That sleds, snowmen, and snowballs were become a mere memory of the past—children would no longer ever experience snow.1 While research can illustrate areas that are having less snowfall within tiny spans of time (such as since 1970), while other areas show increases during this same short time period. It seems the fear of snowfalls being a thing of the past is mere fairy tale.
GLOBAL WARMING TO CAUSE SIBERIAN CLIMATE & DISASTERS. Predicted in 2004 the Pentagon told President Bush that by 2020 global warming would cause worldwide rioting, nuclear war, mega-droughts, and famine. Caused by climate change due to global warming regions of the world including the US and Britain would become sweltering hot similar to the Siberian desert. “Climate change of the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives…” 1 Not one of these terrifying predictions occurred.
NO ICE IN THE ARCTIC BY 2018. Predicted in 2008, we will see all the arctic ice gone between 2013-2018. NASA scientist Hansen stated, “…(It’s) occurring right before our eyes…exactly the way we said it would.” These fears were parroted by Al Gore as Presidential candidate who explained by the summer of 2014 – in just 5 years—all the ice caps will be gone. Representative Ed Markey of Massachusetts stated that, “(If) Dr. Hansen was right, we (will) recognize him as a climate prophet.”1 Well, turned out he was not a prophet…the polar caps are still there.
GLOBAL WARMING CAUSES MORE SNOWFALL AND (IRONICALLY) LESS SNOWFALL. Some will take the neutral ground and simply proclaim that the weather has “nothing to do with global warming stupid “.2 While other proponents point to increased snowfalls and snow-packs are due to global warming effects caused by heat pushing more moisture into the atmosphere. They point out that the “atmosphere can hold 4% more moisture for every 10 F increase in temperature”.3 In contrast, other global warming proponents state the opposite, that lower snowfall accumulations are due to higher temperatures which prevent temperatures to be cold enough for snowfalls of the past.4 Both sides are proponents of global warming yet they hold opposing views based on what snowfall data they are reviewing. Ironically, both agree on the cause being global warming but differ on whether there is more or less snowfall. They have inadvertently acknowledged conflicting data depending on when and what regions you are reviewing. This is a problem for all global wide sciences– regions vary greatly. Either way, for the global warming proponents, regardless of how much snow does or does not fall, it is always caused by global warming. Such logic is preposterous.
Those deceptive charts…
Anyone who has taken a course in high school or college in statistics recognizes that the presenter can bias the numbers to present the angle they desire by tailoring the X and Y axis’s. They can also focus on certain time frames where the event was more or less. They can focus on regions that tell the story they are illustrating best. It is in such charts that pop-culture scientists can illustrate the issue of global warming. They illustrate a mere 2.7 degree Fahrenheit variance temperature, over a massive range of 169 years (1850 through 2019) on their charts and make the forecast seem dire. If you look at the charts on the right below it appears that global temperature are headed off the charts. However, it you place the temperature range in a proper context then the charts on the left reveal quite little change. It is always important to recognize that chart axis’s reveals bias.
Perhaps global warming is a reality, perhaps it is not a real issue at all. Either way, if the predictions of the past provide any insight at all, it is that concerns tend to be overstated by both sides of the issue with doomsday extremes. The truth likely falls somewhere in the middle, not strong enough to generate fear but not mild enough to ignore altogether.
Global warming is said to be the mechanism that causes glaciers to shrink, ice to thaw early on rivers and lakes, plants and trees to flower sooner, sea ice melts, and ocean levels rise. There are great examples for each of these effects depending on where and when you look on planet earth.5 In clear contrast, there are also opposite effects of these, depending on where and when you look on earth. There are regions with expanding glaciers, growing sea ice, rivers and lakes not thawing as early as in prior years, plants and trees flowering later due to cooling regional temperatures. There are even areas where ocean levels are lower exposing more land.6 The earth is a dynamically complex place effected by many variables. Affixing single issue problems and solutions, such as global warming, falls short of meeting the demands of good scientific deduction. | <urn:uuid:dba46881-30fa-4a1f-a7f1-63310ebfcf8f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.evolutionisamyth.com/philosophical/global-warming-the-mythological-crisis-of-the-day/ | 2024-04-16T03:44:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.960793 | 2,535 |

Former Bournemouth, Ipswich and Charlton man chats PCUK
Prostate Cancer UK spoke to new #MenUnited signing, former Ireland international Matt Holland about the London to Amsterdam Challenge 2015, his own favourite European footballing moments, and his career in journalism.So Matt, you are taking on the London to Amsterdam Challenge in 2015. Tell us about your previous European experience? And what do you think you can bring to the team?
I’ve got some great memories of European football. As a player I’ll never forget when Ipswich hosted AC Milan and we beat them 1-0 with an Alun Armstrong header. And as a fan you can’t look beyond the dramatic Champion’s League final in 1999 when Manchester United came back from the dead and won it 2-1 against Bayern Munich at the Nou Camp. They scored two goals in added time and that was just frightening.
As for the London to Amsterdam Challenge, this cycling event is a new challenge for me but something I’m really looking forward to. I’ll bring some leadership to the talkSPORT team and it will be great to join some familiar faces in what’s sure to be a fun few days.
You now work in the media, on the radio and on TV. How have you enjoyed the transition and which of your peers do you most respect and enjoy working with?
I love doing what I’m doing now. I found the transition difficult, particularly the first six months. I was used to being very regimented in what I do with the football side of things. There, you knew what you were doing day-to-day and week-to-week. Doing what I’m doing now can be very varied. I don’t have a particular schedule; it can change at any time. That was difficult, initially, but I’ve got used to that now. In terms of the peers, crikey, I would pick out Adrian Durham. People will laugh at me for saying that because of the reputation he’s got, but I don’t think there’s anyone that works harder in terms of watching football and knowledge of individuals and teams. I honestly think he does a lot of work in terms of making his show the best so I really think he deserves a mention. In terms of ex-pros I like listening to Graham Souness. I think he has a very good knowledge of the game and the way he comes across is very good; he holds himself brilliantly. Alvin Martin and Danny Murphy on talkSPORT are both very good as well. I’m also a big fan of Gary Neville’s punditry so there’s a few.
Talking of punditry, what does the second half of the Football League season hold for your old clubs?
I tipped Bournemouth at the start of the season and everyone laughed at me. Last year some of the football they played was outstanding and Eddie [Howe] got together a really good squad. I must admit I worried a little bit when Lewis Grabban was sold at the start of the season, but to bring in Callum Wilson was a masterstroke. He’s been superb as well and has played his way into the England U21 squad now too. Some of the football they play is out of this world and I honestly think they are guaranteed to be in the top six in the Championship and could even do better. As for Ipswich, under Mick [McCarthy], they are so difficult to beat and excellent defensively. They are one of the hardest working teams you will come up against and the mental attitude of the squad is absolutely top drawer. I think they will finish in the top six as well. I’d like to say Charlton would join them both, but I think they might just miss out. I’m not sure they have the strength in depth of the other two. So I’d tip them to finish in the top half of the table but just outside the play-offs.
The London to Amsterdam Challenge is Prostate Cancer UK’s end of season Football League fundraiser. On Friday 12th June 2015, over 200 riders from across the Football League will join Matt Holland, Luther Blissett and Terry Butcher on the starting line at Leyton Orient FC riding 145 miles to the Amsterdam ArenA, the home of Dutch giants Ajax, on Saturday 13th June 2015 before celebrating with a night out in Amsterdam.

Bed Bugs - Frequently Asked Questions
Below are the most common FAQs we get regarding bed bugs and bed bug treatment. If you need bed bug treatment in Lake Charles, Elton, or anywhere in the Southwest Louisiana area, give Extermatrim a call!
How do I know if I have bed bugs?
Some individuals notice bites on their skin or blood spots on the sheets/clothes they slept in. Other individuals, when an infestation is present, they have no indications of any bedbug bites.
What do bed bugs look like?
Adult bed bugs are reddish-brown in color and approximately 1/4 to 3/8” long, they are about the same in width as they are long. They are about the size of an orange seed. They have no wings, & cannot fly.
How much does it cost to treat bed bugs?
Many companies charges start at $900.00 - $2,500.00. Extermatrim charges what is necessary to eliminate the problem, with prices starting at $499.00.
How do people get bedbugs in their home/apartment?
“Bed bugs go where people go”, Hotels, Dorms, Movie Theaters, Clothing Stores, Buses, Schools, Hospitals, Airports, Taxies, Rental Cars, etc….. and an adult can live up to a year without a blood meal. You have to be aware of the risk anywhere you go or travel.
Is bed bugs spray from a local store or website effective?
Most bed bug spray on the market available to consumers is a pyrethrum-based liquid. Most of the latest research and studies have proven that 85%-95% of all bed bugs are resistant to this chemical formulation. And so unless you drown a bed bug with this kind of spray, it will usually have very little insecticide-killing effectiveness on the adults. The bed bug eggs cannot be penetrated by any insecticide on the market. However, Extermatrim's 9-month bed bugs kill guarantee eliminates visible and hidden bedbugs and the eggs they leave behind.
What do I need to consider when moving?
Make sure you do a thorough inspection or hire a professional, of the residence you are considering moving into. Many times a tenant will move out of a rented house, apartment, or hotel room because of an ongoing bedbug problem that could not be resolved. When you move in, it becomes your nightmare. DO YOUR INSPECTIONS FIRST!
What do I need to consider when traveling?
As mentioned earlier “Bed bugs go where people go”. When you travel your suitcase goes: In the taxi, airport, the belly of the airplane, into another airport, into another taxi or rental car, then into a hotel room. You have NO CLUE if bedbugs were in one or more of these areas……and then, you head back home and expose yourself and your luggage to the same risk all over again! You have to be aware of the risk anywhere you go or travel.
What kind of guarantee can I expect?
Extermatrim offers two bed bug treatment guarantees:
a) A 45-day Guarantee
b) Up to a 9 Month Guarantee on residual only and for qualified homes. **NO ONE offers this long of a Bed Bug Pest Control Treatment Guarantee!!
How many treatments will I need in my home?
Two treatments are necessary to kill bed bugs that are in any structure. | <urn:uuid:ea8e56ed-6ae2-4e20-9be7-9bde2ffec19e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.extermatrim.com/blog/bed-bug-faq | 2024-04-16T04:12:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.933389 | 721 |
One in three of the world’s 32.4 million blind people are blind due to cataracts. This proportion is closer to one half in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). There are millions more who have significant visual impairment from cataracts.
The availability of cataract surgical services in SSA is by no means universal, but even where services are available, uptake has mostly been below the level required for elimination of cataract blindness.
Cataract surgical rates (CSR) of around 500 operations per million population, per year are frequently reported; this is well below the target of 2000 that has been suggested by the World Health Organization (WHO).
There are several barriers to obtaining surgery and one is fear of a poor outcome. Recent international studies showing that the proportion of poor outcomes is a particular problem for sub Saharan Africa. If 20% of operated cataract cases fail to attain 6/60, it can be expected that this will generate some negative publicity in the general population that might then be discouraged from getting cataract surgery.
When an ophthalmology resident graduates from their surgical program, they are still on a learning curve. This is an important time to solidify surgical technique and develop safe habits and problem-solving skills. Our piece is to help these surgeons move along their learning curve and give them feedback. The key to fine tuning their technique is one-on-one training with an experienced surgeon, a mentor. This enables them to observe, participate, and finally complete surgeries independently while building confidence and surgical skills. This is the best way to reduce poor outcomes and thus increase the number of cataract surgeries performed.

Our vision is a world where all people, not just those connected directly to generational wealth, have the capital they need to be more innovative, more brave, and to take more risks for themselves and their community.
"BECAUSE TOGETHER WE ARE BETTER & STRONGER."
TY SIMMONS, CO-FOUNDER
Here's how it all works together:
All to move you from:
You know you want to do more than just donate your money to causes supporting BIPOC founders, but you're terrified you'll do it wrong.
You're afraid of cancel culture but you still want to help the cause of racial justice.
You are learning that you don't have to know everything in order to move forward. Your community is growing and you're building bridges where there were once only gates.
You are beginning to believe there's a better way.
You're realizing that you've held onto your charitable funds with a needlessly tight grip -- desiring to feel in control of every decision. You take the first steps to transfer some of that control to your new connections.
You actually feel more relaxed.
You are transformed! You are in deeper relationship with your community and you have embraced the joyous realization that you don't (and can't) always know what's best.
You've given away some of your power, and you've never felt more powerful.
We know that a great wealth transfer is coming...but what if we surprised them all? What if philanthropy turned the tide: transferring the decision making power over generational wealth to BIPOC Americans?
What if you did?

WHAT PEOPLE SAY:
I've never received support that truly didn't have any strings attached except a desire for me to succeed -- this money means a lot, but it coming from my community leaders means even more.
I've wanted to redirect some of my financial resources to racial equity for years, but I never knew how not to seem like a "white savior" when I offered support.
To have the power to direct significant funding into my neighbors who I've seen working so hard for so long only to be overlooked...its amazing. | <urn:uuid:8dad1afd-6f2d-4fd8-b80a-cb5f3a900d61> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.familyandfriendsfund.org/vision | 2024-04-16T05:14:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.965847 | 612 |

The top of the Wall Street Journal’s website states: “Evan Gershkovich: 11 Months Detained.” The statement refers to the Journal’s reporter who has been incarcerated by Russian authorities on accusations that he engaged in illegal spying on Russia.
In March 2023, Gershkovich was living in Russia and writing articles for the Journal that were critical of Russia’s war on Ukraine. At the same time that he was criticizing the Russian regime, according to the Journal, he was enjoying social life in Russia, including hanging out at Moscow dive bars.
According to Wikipedia, on March 29, 2023, the Russian Federal Security Service arrested Gershkovich for having information on a “Russian defence enterprise.”
U.S. officials deny that Gershkovich is a U.S. spy, but of course their denials are worthless since they would lie if Gershkovich is in fact a spy. Moreover, it is common knowledge that the CIA maintains assets within the U.S. mainstream press. (See the CIA’s Operation Mockingbird.)
Journal executives also deny that Gershkovich is a spy, but of course their denials are also worthless for two reasons: (1) They too would almost certainly not confess the truth if Gershkovich is in fact a spy; and (2) If Gershkovich is a spy, it is likely that he wouldn’t disclose that fact to his employer.
My own belief is that Gershkovich isn’t a spy but instead is a retaliatory victim of U.S. foreign policy toward Russia. In other words, he is a classic example of how the U.S. government makes life unsafe for American citizens.
Throughout this controversy, there have been two important questions that have not been answered by Journal executives: (1) What Gershkovich was doing, if anything, at the time of his arrest that would cause Russian officials to charge him with espionage; and (2) Why the Journal didn’t pull Gershkovich out of Russia when the Journal began publishing his critical articles.
By this time, the Journal has to be aware of the circumstances surrounding Gershkovich’s arrest. There is little doubt that he has related those circumstances to his Russian lawyers, who would naturally have related them to Journal officials.
So, why hasn’t the Journal publicized Gershkovich’s side of the story? Ordinarily, that’s what an innocent person does — he gets his story out to create sympathy for himself. If there wasn’t anything nefarious about what Geshkovich was doing that Russian officials could point to, why not publicize that fact widely? Why keep people guessing?
My hunch is that the reason for the Journal’s silence might be that Gershkovich did actually get caught holding some illegal documents that were handed to him by someone he considered a trusted Russian source. In other words, I suspect that he was the victim of a sting operation by Russian officials.
Why would U.S. officials and Journal officials be reluctant to criticize that type of sting operation? Because it would be fairly obvious that such a sting operation would be similar to the sting operation that U.S. DEA officials carried out against Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout in Thailand. In other words, Americans might figure out that the Russians were simply retaliating against an American citizen in the same way that U.S. officials targeted a Russian citizen. (See, for example, my article “Time to Revisit the Viktor Bout Case.”)
The other question is: Why didn’t Journal executives pull Gershkovich out of Russia when it began publishing his articles criticizing the Russian war on Ukraine? After all, one could forgive the 31-year-old Gershkovich for being young and naive about the Russian regime and believing that Vladimir Putih would respect his “free speech” rights. But surely the older executives at the Journal are not that innocent and naive about the Russian regime.
After all, this is a regime that the U.S. government, operating through NATO, intentionally provoked into invading Ukraine in a war that has taken the lives of tens of thousands of Russian soldiers and brought untold grief to Russian families all across the nation. And let’s not forget the brutal sanctions that the U.S. government has imposed on Russia, with the dual aim of bringing massive impoverishment to the Russian people and regime change to the Putin regime.
Why wouldn’t Journal officials realize that there was no possibility that Russian officials would look kindly on an American journalist who was working for a rightwing American publication that was publishing articles that were critical of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine?
And then there are the presumed state-sponsored assassinations and extra-judicial executions of Yevgeniy Prigozhin, the chief of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group, and Alexei Navalny, who wanted to run against Putin for president. Yes, it’s true that these presumed murders took place after Gershkovich’s arrest but surely Journal executives understood the brutality of any authorItarian regime, especially one that is losing tens of thousands of troops in a vicious war that the U.S. government knowingly provoked?
So, the Wall Street Journal officials have some explaining to do: Why have’t they explained the circumstances surrounding Gershkovich’s arrest? And why did they leave Gershkovich in danger instead of pulling him out of Russia? | <urn:uuid:85f8d09a-52d3-4a34-8429-9daf42ff2e3e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.fff.org/2024/02/29/prigozhin-navalny-and-gershkovich/ | 2024-04-16T03:47:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.971768 | 1,178 |

In the last couple of years, the role of influencer marketing has significantly grown in digital marketing. So, what exactly is influencer marketing? It is a type of marketing where the focus is on influential people rather than the target market on social media. Here the individuals who have influence over potential customers are identified, and the marketing activities are carried out. Since influencer marketing can positively impact your business, there are many reasons to work with an influencer. In the blog post, we are covering the top seven reasons. Let us begin.
1. Influencers create fresh content
One of the biggest advantages of working with an online influencer is that you get to have fresh high-quality content. And superior content is important for both ranking higher on search engine results page and attracting new customers.
An average online influencer is in this business for many years, he knows how to create a content that people like to consume and move towards sales. Very few people understand the importance of this fact. Many business owners fail to discover all the topics that someone from the outside world would be eager to read. And if at all, the business owners are successful in writing the need of potential customers, the content may not get the visibility and credibility it should.
2. Influencers can bring new followers
One of the main reasons to work with influencers is that they can attract new visitors. Here micro-influencers play a major role. A micro influencer is an influencer whose number of social media followers fall between 2000 to 50000. The number may look less, but the good part is that these micro-influencers have dedicated following. In other words, their followers are active. They believe the expertise of the online influencer.
Some brands try to reach their potential customers via having active social media presence or email marketing. Although these are the best practices in both search engine optimization (SEO) and social media marketing (SMM), an influencer can do the same thing on a wider scale and bring other benefits such as higher brand awareness and brand visibility. So, it makes sense to run social media marketing and email marketing campaign, along with taking help of online influencers.
3. Online influencers improve SEO
Business owners usually take the help of online influencers to gain certain business goals. Some of those are higher visibility, more reach, improved engagement, solid online reputation, and lead generation. However, a very small number of people know that online influencers do improve search engine ranking. As a result, only fewer people attempt to enhance SEO.
Whenever an online influencer creates content and links it to your website, it works like a magic. It simply takes your incoming traffic to another level. If done correctly with right quality and quantity, it elevates search engine ranking of your website. So, share the content created by the influencers on different social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., and link it to your website.
4. Influencers are conversation starters
Influencers are good at creating content as well as conversations. With years of experience, they know how to speak to your audience. No matter what type of audience you have, they know how to engage and interact with them.
Moreover, you cannot be the only one to praise your products and services. Doing so can do no good. Self-praise never works in marketing. So, when the words from an influencer come out people tend to believe it. In the end, credibility matters the most. If you are able to reach thousands of people, but if no one is believing you, then it is waste of time, money and efforts.
So, if someone, who is not related to your business, is expressing a good opinion about you, then that is considered a credible signal. As a result, emotion and interest of the people shoot up. In the end, they prefer to choose you over your competitors.
5. Influencers generate sales
No matter what digital marketing strategy, method or type you opt, the ultimate goal is to generate sales. It is the sole purpose of your both marketing and business. In the past couple of years, influencer marketing has become one of the leading methods to generate sales. However, that does not mean you need to depend solely on this method. It makes sense to run SEO, SMM, and other digital marketing strategies parallelly.
So, it makes sense to go for influencer marketing. The main question you need to ask here is how many influencers are required. There is no simple answer to this question. The answer depends on various factors such as a size of business, type of business, business goals, type of audience, budget, and type of services and products you sell. Considering all these points, you can judge yourself. SEO experts usually do not recommend settling with one influencer.
6. Influencers establish customer relationships
It is an obvious fact that influencers have a strong relationship with their followers. Over the years, they have gained the trust of the people. Their followers trust their opinion and expertise. So, partnering with the influencers gives access to a solid relationship. It is a kind of shortcut. The good thing is that one influencer can open the door to a lot of connections. This positive wave can spread like a wildfire.
The other positive aspect of a good customer relationship is that it builds a strong online reputation. This is the reason why working with influencers is one of the most-used techniques to establish a solid online reputation within a short period of time.
7. Influencer marketing is a solution for ad blockers
The hard truth is that nobody likes Internet ads. Internet users are using tools to avoid online ads. Today, it is quite easy to install the ad blocker extension in all the popular browsers. In fact, It hardly takes one or two minutes. Many studies have revealed that one out of nine mobile Internet users uses an ad blocker. It simply means more than half a billion people across the world. Furthermore, the usage of ad blockers is growing at an annual rate of 30%. So this issue has become a big headache to digital marketers.
The advantage of working with online influencers is that you bypass ad blockers. In other words, you can reach the target audience without facing any obstacles. | <urn:uuid:4a29e8b9-9810-46d2-bfb5-c3654c671e51> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.firstrank.co.uk/7-reasons-to-work-with-an-influencer/ | 2024-04-16T05:37:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.953814 | 1,286 |

How do I politely ask for what was a verbal warning "improve or we take next steps" in writing?
The fdbk I received all seems directly tied to my emotional dysregulation that I am just putting a name to let alone not knowing how to fix it (because if I knew that it wouldn't be a problem).
So I want my mgrs to put it in writing and how exactly they plan to measure it (other than they will "hear" it from ppl).... Cuz internally I can't separate what I'm feeling from what I think they're saying
Whew this group is a relief to find. No one at my job knows I have ADHD, and I only have one other friend with it. I manage a team of people and the stress of checking, double checking, and triple-checking everything to make sure I'm not forgetting anything or behind on anything is insane. I've kind of got the hang of keeping focus during work hours, but I'm just constantly on edge that someone will notice or I'll start falling behind.
For those who were diagnosed as an adult can you provide some insight into how you were able to obtain a diagnosis. I went to my primary care dr who referred me to another dr who specialized in mental health. He asked me about 5 questions before telling me I should see a neuropsychologist for an official assessment. The referral he gave me is super pricey and apparently isn’t covered by insurance. Is that normal?

Anyone find themselves interrupting too much? I tend to get excited when talking with friends or about something I'm passionate about, and I occasionally will totally interrupt someone (unintentionally) when I get too into it. No one has mentioned it to me but I've caught a few looks from friends when it happens, and I'd like to work on it just for the sake of being polite. Advice?
I’m burnt out from job hopping but I’ve never liked my current job and after a year in the role, I really want to get a new one. I’m finding it hard to get a new one as a creative and I’m running out of ideas of where else I should look. Thoughts?
I'm upping my dosage this month for the first time since I started taking medication. I've had very few side effects so far (trouble sleeping) but I'm worried with this higher dosage I'll get more of the bad along with more of the good.

Meds definitely make me kind of dyslexic. What the hell? How? Why? Anyone else had this? I never had spelling issues or misreading/mistyping similar words. Need some consolation peeps!
Hello! My name is Kendall Davis. I am a 2021 college graduate from the College of Charleston with a degree in communication. I writing this message as a plea for help. I have ADHD and it has been extremely hard for to function like a normal human being. Some days it’s a struggle to get out of bed. I have been looking for a decent paying entry level job since graduating and I’ve had no luck. If anyone knows of any remote jobs that are hiring, please let know! Thank you!
Has anyone else tried Strattera, had success, and a few months later felt like work was a struggle again? Am I imagining it? There are reasons why I should not take stimulants, but I miss that feeling of being a “regular” person at work and so am curious if others have had a similar journey and where you all ended up
What kind of accommodations can I ask for especially since I work from home? I am having an extremely hard time with the pressure and time constraints on getting the work done. I am a very fast pace worker but it’s like I can’t work fast enough here at this new job. And I don’t know what to ask for.
I’m curious how ADHD professionals prepare for job interviews. Some interviews I’m really nailing it and other interviews I can’t find the right words to communicate properly.
Tell me you’re ADHD without telling me you are ADHD.
I currently work 2 full time jobs & a pt contractor for 2 years and I’m currently on the verge of burnout and confused on career growth.
I’m professionally excelling in all work areas and have been promoted in all work areas at least once over the past 2 years.
The issue is I find myself as a director of marketing (I over see 8 offices & a team of 7), Sales Client Partner, and Manager Administrator of Web/App Development
How do I grow?
Can anyone relate? If I’m stressed out, I can’t focus on my tasks because my productivity is driven by creative and explorative thought. When I’m stressed or anxious, my mind doesn’t have the room or space to think freely to get things done, and I end up bouncing around different tasks not getting anything done. And then there’s the whole dopamine addiction issue with doing a small amount of work then hopping on social media because you feel like you need the reward. Just me?
Looking for advice/input:
I’ve dealt with ADHD my entire life, although was just diagnosed last year. Throughout my career (assurance>industry>consulting), I’ve been able to “outwork” everyone else in the office to counter the lack of focus and other associated faux pas associated with the disorder. Recently have hot a point where I can’t put in the hours (3 yo/fam), and my work has taken a major hit. Anyone in consulting/assurance have any methods for managing this when it comes to PM duties?
I have really been struggling with my ADHD lately. What mobile apps or programs do you guys recommend to help manage symptoms? How do you stay on task and remain focused?
Does anyone have a list of the things (food, drink, other OTC meds) that make adderall less effective? I know I can simple google search and ask my doctor but want to hear other peoples thoughts…I love drinking my coffee to wake me up in the morning but I’m afraid it’s making my meds less bc of its acidic nature 😵
Is it more difficult to hear (or process hearing) things when on stimulants? Several times people speak to me and then I feel I didn’t hear or understand them, never happens off stims: Any similar experiences?
So I had a coding interview recently and have decided that the format was actually pretty unfair for people with ADHD. Essentially you have to code the answer on a screen shared with the interviewer whilst explaining it and listening to the interviewer - all of this is anxiety provoking and distracting meaning I underperformed on quite a simple coding task. It felt a bit like asking a person who has dyslexia to compete in a spelling bee rather than a written test.

Ryder and U-Haul Accidents
Moving from one residence or office to another, or simply having to transport a large cargo load, is a common occurrence. Instead of relying on someone else to do the heavy lifting, we often use the services of a rental truck company, such as Ryder or U-Haul, for such endeavors. However, as renters, people may not realize the care it takes to maneuver these types of large vehicles, and serious accidents as well as injuries can result from this lack of experience. The Miami truck accident attorneys at the Law Offices of Robert Dixon can assist people who have been involved in a crash with a U-Haul or Ryder vehicle in pursuing proper compensation. We represent victims in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach Counties, as well as other regions of South Florida.
Establishing Liability in Collisions Involving U-Haul and Ryder VehiclesAlthough drivers are given the option of obtaining insurance when renting a vehicle from U-Haul or Ryder, they may not always exercise that option, leaving a victim in significant financial need following an accident. Additionally, a driver injured as a result of a defective rental truck may have legal recourse against the company responsible.
Whether a claim is brought against a driver or a rental company, such as U-Haul or Ryder, a victim must show that the defendant was negligent. To establish negligence, a plaintiff must prove that the defendant’s actions fell below the reasonable standard of care, and that this carelessness caused the injury and resulted in damages. U-Haul and Ryder have a duty to conduct reasonable inspections of their trucks, and they must engage in regular maintenance to ensure their safety. Failing to do so may be considered a breach of the duty of care and thus negligent. For example, if an accident is a result of faulty brakes that have not been inspected or repaired, a victim potentially could receive damages for any injuries caused by that failure.
Even if a driver’s own negligence was partially to blame for the injuries, he or she may still recover some damages. In Florida, the amount of compensation is awarded based on each party’s degree of fault. For instance, if a victim is 35 percent responsible for his or her injuries, they may still recover up to 65 percent of the total damages from another liable party.
As access to rental moving trucks has increased, so has the amount of accidents and injuries involving these vehicles. In Florida, almost 7,000 motor vehicle crashes annually involve medium or large trucks, such as U-Haul and Ryder vehicles. Generally, to rent one of these large vehicles, an individual merely must be 18 years of age and have a valid driver’s license. Given the low level of qualifications, drivers are often inexperienced and do not know how to maneuver these trucks in the correct manner. This leads to accidents due to events such as:
- Cargo shifting due to improper loading;
- Failing to notice or check blind spots;
- Distracted drivers;
- Trailer swaying or a runaway trailer; or
- Failing to obey signs or yield the right of way.
Drivers of these large vehicles must adhere to the same rules of the road that all other drivers must obey to keep our highways safe. Failing to do so can result in serious accidents. Consulting a knowledgeable attorney who can assist you in determining the cause of an accident, as well as who is responsible, is important in pursuing proper compensation for your injuries.

Sam Harris has lived in Park City since he was four. He attended Miss Billie's pre-school through Park City High School. He skied competitively and started in the restaurant business as a teenager. One thing he's always wanted here was really good food he could afford on his waiter and line cook salaries. On Jan. 17 he filled that niche by opening Sammy's Bistro at 1890 Bonanza Drive.

How to maintain a garage door?
Your garage door is the largest and heaviest moving object in your home. You should maintenance your garage door at least once a year to prolong the life of the moving parts. In addition to having a professional garage door technician maintain your garage door once a year, there are some added tips you can do as a homeowner to make sure your garage door stays in top working condition.
Your garage door system is heavy, it’s big, and it moves a lot. You need to properly lubricate your garage frequently. While we recommend a professional garage door maintenance once a year, we advise homeowners to lubricate their garage door every 3 months. Using a proper garage door lube, spray your hinges and springs thoroughly. It only takes a few minutes and it will have a dramatic impact on the life of your garage door parts!
When you lubricate your garage door you should also check the balance of your garage door. Your garage door springs lift your door, making a heavy door easy to move. Like any other parts, with time, your garage springs begin to weaken and eventually will break. Once this happens, your garage door will no longer function correctly and can cause damage to persons or vehicles. Make sure your garage door is balanced by bringing the garage door down with your opener and then disengaging your door from the automatic operator. Now you can lift the door by hand and a properly balanced garage door should stay at the halfway point and all the way open without your assistance or drifting back down. If your garage door isn’t balanced, call a professional garage door company for assistance! Do not attempt to work on your garage door springs on your own!
Visually inspect your door while you are lubricating the hinges and springs. Are the cables fraying? Are the rollers bent, broken, or wobbly? Do you have any cracked hinges or panels? These are some of the common signs of an aging garage door system. That doesn’t mean you need a whole new garage door! Most of the time we can replace these aging parts and make your current garage door as good, if not better, than new!
Remember to follow these steps every 3 months with your garage door and call a professional garage door technician once a year for an in-depth garage door maintenance and tune-up! | <urn:uuid:2d9d3bfa-7423-4c41-83e1-4e3936851a70> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.floridagaragedoorpros.com/how-to-maintain-a-garage-door/ | 2024-04-16T04:57:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.909031 | 476 |
Julie Neal outlines 10 ways to make the most of a comprehensive product overhaul
Every CEO knows that understanding the cost of making or selling a product is essential to building a successful business, and focusing on driving sales for the most profitable items certainly makes sense. However, cost is rarely the only consideration and in today’s more uncertain, world decision-makers need to keep their finger on the data pulse when it comes to understanding customer behaviour and having the agility and insight to react to market changes.
With inflation and the cost of living impacts, many UK households have less disposable income, which is forcing FMCG retailers and their suppliers to explore ways to simplify their product ranges while still giving consumers the value, quality and availability they’ve come to expect. Whereas once businesses might have chosen to drive revenues by increasing product lines, today they are more interested in optimising value from each sale by scrutinising the gross/net data of every product.
When a range review takes place, some rationalisation is usually expected, but it is equally important for businesses to see such projects as an opportunity to improve operational efficiency and increase value. They should also be aiming to improve their resilience by adjusting their business model to be more adaptive to rising costs and other demand-side changes.
When it’s done well, a range reset can bring lasting benefits for all types of FMCG business by shortening supply chains, streamlining costs, improving availability, minimising waste and enhancing consumer or end market loyalty. For decision makers planning to review their product range, here are ten factors to consider:
Have a range reset strategy
Before reviewing the company’s product range, Boards should know exactly what they want to achieve. If they are looking to reduce costs, they should know by how much and over how long. But do they have any other goals in mind? Rather than seeing it purely as a cost reduction exercise, there could be an opportunity to add value to the business by boosting ESG performance, enhancing customer loyalty or growing market share.
Follow the value
Knowing where to start when reviewing the company’s product range is crucial. Boards need to be asking the right questions to ensure they understand where value lies and how this overlays with customer data and consumer trends. This will enable them to make the right strategic decisions. Does the Board have a robust gross/net understanding? Are all costs associated with promotional campaigns being factored in? Do they know the value of the goods they deliver and the payback rate? Customer and third-party data can also be used to develop bespoke data-based tools to benchmark profitability and inform decisions about which products to keep or delist, and crucially, how and when to reinvest.
Know where to start
It makes no sense at all to delist products that are unprofitable without understanding the full impact of that decision. Access to accurate and reliable data is a vital starting point, but there may also be a need for qualitative research to understand what customers/consumers really want. Equipped with a more holistic picture of their cost base and a better understanding of customer/consumer preferences, it should be possible for businesses to identify low-hanging fruit – i.e. opportunities to delist products and realise cost savings, without impacting customer satisfaction. It will also help to minimise the risk of damaging customer loyalty by making the wrong delisting decisions.
Push the right products
– When reviewing a company’s product range, it is usually obvious which products are delivering most value – either due to the profit margin they earn, the volume of sales they generate or a combination of both. Retailers can use this information to inform their assortment strategies; making sure that sufficient product is available and visible in-store or online. In some cases, retailers might choose to put the most popular, profitable products in more than one place to ensure as many shoppers as possible get to see them.
Get the balance right
– Grocery e-commerce ranges tend to offer greater consumer choice, but some goods have a shorter shelf life than others, which could lead to availability issues. It’s important to build such factors into decision-making models when considering whether to refresh product ranges and/or introduce new lines. Understanding the value that consumers attribute to certain products is important, as some products may be worth sticking with even if they deliver little or no profit. Rather than de-listing products that have seen sales slide, it may be worth trialing different sizes or product formats.
Better range, better performance
– Optimising product range can have a positive impact on business performance. A recent trading update by Marks & Spencer reported a like-for-like increase in food sales and clothing/home sales of 11 percent and 6 percent respectively in the early part of the year. The success of the retailer’s turnaround strategy has been credited to delivering ‘quality and trusted value’ while ‘sharpening prices’ on some products. Similarly, Sainsbury’s annual report, published in June 2023, reported strong annualised growth off the back of its Food First strategy, which is aimed at giving customers ‘low prices, exciting new products and great customer service’. Although some products are likely to have been delisted, the company launched 1,400 new products in 2022-23.
Use generative AI to drive competitor advantage
– Are you using high-level data to complete customer end product segmentation? AI algorithms can harness insights from specific groups of shoppers, such as students or young parents. This information can be used to shape product ranges, promotions and services to meet their needs. For example, with consumers increasingly focused on value for money, M&S is promoting its value-driven home products to customers who regularly purchase products from its ‘Remarkable Value’ food range. Another key area of opportunity for using generative AI within consumer-facing businesses is customer care, and there’s a great deal of experimentation taking place currently.
Make more of loyalty
– Improved customer understanding will help turbocharge personalised marketing campaigns – for example, personalised push notifications campaigns. These can also help to encourage consumers to sign up to loyalty programmes. Data-driven loyalty programmes are a win-win for the consumer and the FMCG. For retailers, they create a data advantage that can be leveraged across the supply chain, while providing value and care to consumers.
Is now the right time to re-invest?
– At a time of significant cost volatility, keeping track of profitability is challenging, and Boards should develop data-based tools to guide their investment decisions. Savings achieved through de-listing loss-making products for example, could be reinvested into new lines that could help enhance customer loyalty and strengthen market share. For example, an FMCG manufacturer might choose to reinvest by streamlining packaging solutions to optimise space in delivery vehicles, thus reducing transportation costs and lowering carbon emissions. They could also make use of AI-assisted platforms that bridge the supply chain to streamline supplies based on accurate demand data.
Is there an opportunity to drive ESG performance? –
A range review could provide opportunities to drive ESG performance and reset the business on a more resilient and sustainable pathway. For example, the extreme heat in parts of Southern Europe has led to reduced yields and shortages of certain foods. In Florida, hurricanes and tree disease have led to a global shortage of oranges, driving up the price of orange juice around the world. A range reset could allow grocery outlets to adopt a more dynamic operating model, replacing such products with locally-sourced alternatives. This could bring both cost and sustainability benefits by reducing miles travelled as well as lowering carbon emissions.

The concept of social responsibility has saturated social media over the last few years and crept into the organizational pillars of many corporations. In its infancy, green/responsibility initiatives were often placed with the quality leaders, although today, many large companies have separate corporate social responsibility (CSR) departments. CSR encompass a variety of facets: environmental conservation, community outreach/volunteerism, sustainable sourcing/animal welfare, good labor practices, etc.
There are several examples of common social pursuits directly influencing food safety and quality objectives.
Food Insecurity vs. Expiration Dates
One of the most pressing problems facing our country continues to be hunger. Golden State Foods’ Director of Corporate Social Responsibility Anna Lisa Lukes shed some light on the true extent of this problem: “Hunger is a rampant and real problem for so many Americans that finding a solution to avoid food waste while at the same time feed children and families who would otherwise turn to food banks should be an (ambitious) aspiration for those who are in a position to make a difference.” Forty-six million people are food insecure in the United States, and nearly a fourth of those are children.
Feeding America, a nonprofit focused on aiding this crisis, is actively partnering with major food companies, such as Walmart, Cargill, Starbucks and many more, to provide aid. How can there be such a devastating problem in a country with so many agricultural resources? A large contributor is the enormous amount of edible food that is discarded every day. This amount has increased in recent decades, and by the year 2000, 40 percent of this nation’s food found its way into a landfill.
A major culprit is expiration dates. These ubiquitous dates come in a variety of flavors: Expiration, Use Through, Sell By, Use By, etc. The public has been trained to faithfully abide by these dates, regularly culling their pantries and fridges of out-of-date products.
Two proposed pieces of legislation, The Food Recovery Act and The Food Date Labeling Act, are offering possible solutions by reducing consumer confusion, simplifying regulatory compliance for companies, and cutting supply-chain and consumer waste. Now that the problem has gained strong attention, the industry can start making changes to stem the flow of edible product in this country’s landfills.
Animal Welfare’s Contribution to Quality
Animal Welfare programs became widely adopted after the Humane Slaughter Act of August 27, 1958 was passed into law. This set the stage for appropriate treatment of agricultural animals in the United States. As these practices have evolved over the decades, researchers have drawn conclusive links between good Animal Welfare practices and a decrease in many negative quality defects in meat.
Common meat defects such as: pale, soft, exudative (PSE), dark firm dry (DFD) and dark cutters are caused by either depleted glycogen levels or increased lactic acid in muscular tissues. Other defects are bruises, blood clots and blood splash, which are primarily cause by injury prior to processing. Studies have shown a marked decrease in all of these negative meat attributes in animals handled with humane practices.
Water Conservation Decreasing Facility Microflora
Facilities that begin a sustainability program often start with water conservation. It’s amazing how many little drips and leaks are collectively found around a large manufacturing plant, especially one that utilizes water in their process. A huge focus of most water conservation efforts is reducing water usage during traditional clean-up operations.
Using less water is good for the environment and translates to a real cost savings over time—a real “win-win” situation. There’s actually a third “win” in this scenario. Sanitation expert Jeffrey Kornacki, Ph.D., has long maintained that utilizing less water during sanitation can actually improve the microflora of an establishment by eliminating wet niches that are ideal for biofilm development. Nothing strikes fear in the heart of a quality assurance manager quicker than those two little letters “LM.” Listeria monocytogenes biofilms are often found in manufacturing environments that host wet conditions. At a recent industry meeting, Dr. Kornacki outlined alternate methods such as: vacuum backpacks, dry steam cleaning, soda blasting and utilizing dry ice as an alternative or in conjunction with traditional wet sanitation. All these methods contribute to water conservation efforts, reduce moisture in the plan, and can aid in reduction of biofilm development.
Corporate social responsibility initiatives are by no means solely found in the food industry, but they seem to have a direct influence over many facets of food safety and quality. Many of these coincide in a collaborative effort yielding positive results, but there are potential conflicts and pitfalls to be considered in others.

Our weekly roundup aims to keep our readers up to date on recent notable rulings in the food & consumer packaged goods space.
- Magdalena Bojko, et al. v. Pierre Fabre USA Inc., No. 22-cv-06728 (N.D. Ill. – June 27, 2023): The Northern District of Illinois trimmed a lawsuit involving dry shampoo products allegedly contaminated with the carcinogen benzene. Addressing standing, the court held the plaintiffs had alleged an injury; even though they had not alleged the products they purchased contained benzene—they had at least alleged a study found the types of products they purchased included benzene. Next, the court held plaintiffs’ claims based on the omission of benzene from the ingredient list were preempted because benzene is a contaminant, not an ingredient. The court also dismissed claims based on affirmative representations because the products made no representations that suggest the absence of contaminants (e.g., “safe,” “lab tested,” “benzene free”). The court tossed plaintiffs’ lack-of-warning claims because they had not alleged with particularity that defendant knew the product contained benzene. Lastly, the court dismissed plaintiffs’ warranty claims for pleading failures. Claims that the product was “adulterated” in violation of Illinois state law and federal law were allowed to proceed. Opinion linked here.
- Rosita English v. Danone N.A. Public Benefit Corp., No. 7:22-cv-05105-VB (S.D.N.Y. – June 26, 2023): The Southern District of New York dismissed with prejudice a putative class action alleging the marketing of a coffee creamer product misleads consumers into believing the product contains cream from dairy ingredients when defendant’s coffee creamer purportedly contains no cream or dairy ingredients. The court held that because plaintiff bought the product in Texas, she failed to state a claim under the New York General Business Law, nor did she specify the Texas Business and Commerce Code under which she was bringing the suit. The court ruled that because plaintiff is a Texas citizen and failed to state a claim for a product she actually purchased in Texas, plaintiff did not plausibly allege injury or fraudulent intent and lacked standing to assert claims under other states’ consumer protection laws.

A trucker hat and baseball cap are a pretty important part of human life!!
How to choose? Which one suits you better? What's the difference between them? This article will solve these doubts for you. And... let's get started!!
The main difference is mesh: A baseball cap can be easily identified by its crown, which contains six panels of cotton stitched together as a whole fabric. Trucker hats, on the other hand, feature a back panel made from mesh, while the front panel is made from cotton or plastic. In contrast, the trucker hat is more breathable.
Adjustable design: The baseball cap is usually a sheet metal buckle, velcro, etc.; The trucker hat is dominated by plastic buckle, which means that the trucker hat can be adjusted more flexibly.
Material: Baseball cap material is more abundant, cotton, denim, corduroy, etc. While the trucker hat is mainly cotton and polyester, and front foam trucker is also popular now.
Customization: Add your logo in multiple places on the baseball cap, mainly embroidery. A trucker hat can only add a logo or pattern to the front. Patch logos are more popular for custom foam trucker hats and 5 panel trucker hats.
Comfort: In summer, the trucker hat is more comfortable than a baseball cap, light and thin, breathable, keeping your hair dry, and suitable for outdoor sports.
Popularity: Nowadays, more people prefer trucker hats.
The trucker hat is a hard-top cap, structured, and the front piece is cotton or cotton + polyester, with a breathable mesh on the back, comfortable and breathable. With an adjustable plastic buckle, one size fits most and can be divided into 5 and 6 tablets.
The trucker hats date back to the 1960s. The companies that dealt with farming and feed stores gave out the caps to truck drivers and farmers. The hats gradually became a popular accessory for promotional giveaway items from these companies.
Wearing it backward. This style is popular among schoolboys who want to look more fashionable. The brim faces behind, while the plastic mesh faces the front. It gives a relaxed vibe when worn backward and pointing downwards.
Wearing it forward-facing. Let the brim face in front and the mesh behind. Wear it with fitted black pants, a white t-shirt, and a denim jacket, stylish and straightforward.
A baseball cap is the sum of a series of hats, usually hard-topped ones without mesh.
A baseball cap is a cap made up of a soft fabric crown sewn from a few sections of fabric and a visor that shields the eyes from the sun. Some custom-made hats are made to fit the wearer in specific sizes.
The first baseball cap was made out of straw. Nowadays, it may now be known as a yachting cap. It is said that baseball caps were first worn in 1849 by a baseball team in New York City named the Knickerbockers.
Find a good fit. It should feel snug on your head to avoid falling off, but never so tight that it gives you a headache or leaves red marks and indentations on your forehead.
Know the material. If you sweat a lot or plan on being in the sun, choose a baseball cap in a breathable fabric such as cotton. Conversely, opt for warmer materials such as wool or suede if you're wearing a hat in the cold.

The long running battle to save the Tyson Road green space was effectively lost after the Planning Inspector allowed the Developer’s appeal on its 2009 planning application. However, the Society was vindicated in its opposition to the 2008 planning application as the Developer’s appeal on that scheme failed.
We are very disappointed with this result but taking this planning battle to the very highest national level has proved a valuable learning experience.
One of the very good things about a public inquiry is that all sorts of information becomes public knowledge. In the run up to the Tyson Road hearing it became clear that there had been very extensive discussions between Lewisham’s Planning Department and the Developer prior to the 2008 planning application being submitted. Now, it is perfectly right and proper for a local planning authority to provide guidance to developers but at no time during the period between November 2007 and June 2008 did it seek the views of the local community or consult with the local amenity societies on the proposed scheme.
Lewisham also agreed a ‘statement of common ground’ with the Developer. This was so wide ranging that it left very little scope on which to challenge either the 2008 or 2009 applications.
However, the Forest Hill Society applied for permission to contribute to the public inquiry as a third party and was able to cross-examine members of the developers’ team. We were not bound by the tight reasons for refusal that the council was arguing and were able to present local residents as witnesses giving the inspector a better understanding of the site. This resulted in further concessions by the developer. | <urn:uuid:37f2ed62-5952-4f40-932c-4a91965d87a9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.foresthillsociety.com/2010/07/tyson-road-developers-win-appeal.html | 2024-04-16T04:09:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.980649 | 318 |

HAT: VINTAGE, BEATNIK EMPORIUM, £23. DIP-DYE, STUDDED JACKET: D.I.Y. DRESS: PRIMARK, £5. ALLEGRA BOOTS: TOPSHOP, £75.
These photos are a bit insane and mind-boggling. How often do you come across an outfit post with an acid pink jacket cluttered with an inflatable Stewie head and hockey mask in the background?! I briefly visited London yesterday evening with my boyfriend for an Alabama Shakes gig. We had a few hours to kill before the gig, so we visited Camden and mooched around the Stable's Market, which is where the photo was taken. The Stable's Market is full of weird and wonderful things, as well as being a vintage & antique haven! Unfortunately, my spending ban and sore looking bank balance didn't allow me to make full potential of being in London.
Alabama Shakes were absolutely brilliant and had the whole venue dancing! If you haven't heard of them, I suggest you give them a little YouTube as apparently they're tipped for great things! They're absolutely get to dance and get merry too! Unfortunately, as our trip to London was so brief we had to take the last coach back to Southampton and did not get into bed until 2am and I had to be up at 7am for university, so I am completely and utterly shattered today. I'm in a desperate need of a nap, but I have far too much work to do. | <urn:uuid:40f1cff7-da3d-41bb-894f-1e1811867182> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.foxandfeatherblog.com/2012/02/ootd-toxic-waste.html | 2024-04-16T05:18:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.979295 | 320 |

After years of waiting, rumours and nonsense, the Apple iPad is finally upon us. Am I impressed? Am I blown away? Kinda.
Clearly it makes sense to move media from the somewhat clunky interface of keyboard and screen to a touchpad, and Apple is the company to move the computer industry kicking and screaming into a new paradigm. And what the iPad does, it does very, very well, from we surfing to reading books and newspapers. And yet….there’s something missing. Maybe it’s the fact that there’s no camera, no multi-tasking and the fact that the iPad seems geared more to content consumption than content creation.
As someone who creates content for a living, that leaves me high and dry. I can’t use the iPad for quick and dirty vlogging or podcasting and I definitely won’t be editing video on it anytime soon. I have a Macbook Pro and an iPhone, and between the two of them I get everything I need without a third device.
But on the other hand it’s a new platform, so as a content creator that makes me happy. In theory, the iPad form factor makes it an ideal platform for video and for print, both fields I happen to work in. It even opens up the possibility of new forms of magazine, hybrids of video, audio, game content and print articles, distributable by small publishers consisting of a writer, developer and designer. In a way it could be the rebirth of the zine.
In fact, the potential of the iPad is almost limitless. But right now, that’s just what it is…potential. And that’s why i won’t be getting one just yet. | <urn:uuid:7b24a438-565d-4db0-922d-ed2fd3d6147d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.freyburg.com/the-ipad-cometh.html | 2024-04-16T05:15:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.94966 | 369 |

Simply put, it’s a lot smarter than American news outlets, and comes close to rivalling the BBC World Service in quality. I’ve personally found that I’m getting more and more of my news from Al Jazeera English, particularly their iPhone app, which lets me watch a live stream of the channel from anywhere I’d like, as well as using Livestation on my PC.
But don’t take my word for it, read Robert D. Kaplan’s article in the Atlantic. Kaplan not only points out that Al Jazeera English has the hustle for scoops that other international news gatherers seem to lack, they’re also a unique window into the attitudes of the developing world’s emerging middle class. | <urn:uuid:de849c16-5f36-4ce8-80f1-205c07ee2123> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.freyburg.com/why-al-jazeera-english-rocks.html | 2024-04-16T04:32:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.934735 | 168 |
So Different, So Appealing
A slew of new exhibitions celebrate Pop art from around the world
A slew of new exhibitions celebrate Pop art from around the world
Cadillac tail fins, Coke bottles, Brigitte Bardot, rockets, JFK, superheroes, Elvis Presley, Maxwell House, comic books, Mickey Mouse, the Space Race, Lucky Strike … a case could surely be made that burgeoning consumerism, mass media and popular culture were to the artists of the latter half of the 20th century what nature was to those of the latter half of the 19th. From around the mid-1950s onwards, Pop culture — for want of a better term — underwent a massive postwar expansion. For a new generation of artists the modern landscape, a Mass Age version of the Sublime, became the new magnetic north from which the zeitgeist took its bearings, and even — should the image be allowed — a kind of chromium-plated Pantheism, in which new truths were sought.
A plethora of major exhibitions re-examining Pop art and its legacy are due to open next year — with specific interest in broadening its customarily assumed geographical scope. In London, for example, ‘The World Goes Pop’ at Tate Modern and ‘Post Pop: East Meets West’ at the Saatchi Gallery will include artists working with Pop in Latin America, Eastern Europe and Asia. With such sustained appraisal in mind, it is worth asking the question (with apologies to Pop pioneer Richard Hamilton — the subject of two retrospectives this year, at Tate Modern and London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts — for paraphrasing the title of his epoch-announcing collage of 1956): ‘Just what is it that makes Pop art so different, so appealing?’ For Pop would appear to retain its relevance and urgency, half a century after Andy Warhol observed in 1962 that there were kids growing up in America who had only ever known a total Pop world.
One answer to this question might be generational: that for today’s late-middle-aged, the new Pop world was a formative experience — its growth keeping pace with their own, its influence all pervasive. Pop art, by such reckoning, charted the scope and temper of this experience: at times celebratory, at times questioning, at times simply replicating the new phenomena that the artist found there — most notably what seemed to be Pop’s founding and enduring formula, that Pop = Sex × Mass Production. In this regard, it seems particularly relevant that much new research has been undertaken into Pop art made by women: two retrospectives last year, for example, highlighted the achievements of the British artist Pauline Boty, who died in 1966 (at the Wolverhampton Art Gallery), and the Belgian artist Evelyne Axell, who died in 1972 (a double-bill with Warhol at Cornette de Saint Cyr in Brussels).
Not wishing to mix metaphors, but if Pop became to artists of the 1950s and early ’60s what nature had been to their Romantic ancestors a century before — a subject, a language, a personal philosophy, an ideology — then it might also be seen in terms of a human lifespan. By this token, Pop was ‘born’ in 1956 — the year in which the exhibition ‘This Is Tomorrow’ (which included Hamilton, John McHale and architect John Voelcker’s seminal installation examining imagery and perception in relation to mass media) was held at London’s Whitechapel Art Gallery and Elvis Presley’s first release, ‘Heartbreak Hotel’, became a transatlantic hit. As John Lennon once remarked: ‘Before Elvis, there was nothing.’
From this date, therefore, we might track Pop’s growth through childhood innocence (‘She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah’) to troubled adolescence (‘I see a red door and I want to paint it black’) to adult wisdom (‘You say you want a revolution, well you know, we all want to change the world’) and then, to borrow once more from Saint Andy, ‘back again’. If we acknowledge its power as resembling that of an archetype, Pop, by definition, was like Achilles: destined not to live long. It is a force inextricably linked to the glamour of youth, and — like some form of primitive paganism — appears to require its sacrificial victims on a regular basis, from James Dean through Brian Epstein to Ian Curtis, Michael Jackson and Mike Kelley. These victims, one might fancifully argue, seem to enable Pop’s life force to renew and repeat on a cyclical basis — maintaining the ‘total Pop world’ that Warhol observed all those years ago, until something else comes along.
As it is, something else has not come along, and a case could be made that we now inhabit a ‘total Warhol world’ of celebrity, consumerism, mass media and disaster — and have done so for quite a while. Pop art, meanwhile, has become an historic and historical genre, as much as Impressionism or Dada or Young British Art. The renewed interest in Pop art might thus derive from its place being confirmed and regarded with increasing seriousness within the lineage of problem-solving by which successive generations of artists around the globe are connected. How to make art that is new and alive on its own terms? Such is the challenge thrown down by, for instance, Ezra Pound towards the end of ‘The Cantos’ (1915 – 62): ‘I have brought the great ball of crystal. Who can lift it?’ Pop art, history now shows, rose to the task.
By responding to the sensory bombard- ment instigated by the accelerating mass media of the mid-20th century, Pop art, at its best, addressed a new life force and, in doing so (if you will kindly forgive the grandiosity of the claim), translated personal experiences into universal truths. So, when we look, for example, at one of Warhol’s ‘Electric Chair’ or ‘Elvis’ screenprints from the 1960s, we can only marvel at the finesse and completeness of the translation; for here is nothing less than a metaphysics of mass media, in which we seem to find the world and our place within it explained, enhanced and re-positioned.
Lou Reed once told me that, in his opinion, at the end of the day, there were just ‘very few great artists, very few great writers and very few great rock and roll bands’. He was, of course, absolutely right — and equally correct in claiming that Warhol was one of the few great artists, Raymond Chandler one of the few great writers and The Velvet Underground one of the few great rock and roll bands. In the case of Pop art, though, one might cite various examples of greatness, and ongoing international research reveals further candidates.
If 1956 was indeed a ‘year zero’, after which a new civilization was born — just as surely as an old civilization died in 1914 — then Pop art as an historic genre (it was all over, arguably, by the time ‘Pop Art Revisited’ was held at the Hayward Gallery, London, in 1969) contributed to the understanding and consciousness of a new modernity. What might ‘art’ mean or become in an accelerating world of products and stimuli? The best answers ask new questions that artists continue to pursue — what lies beyond an image of an electric chair or a film star? Something. So now what? The great ball of crystal remains. | <urn:uuid:23c09b3e-263a-4590-a13f-85016aedb8f9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.frieze.com/article/so-different-so-appealing-0 | 2024-04-16T05:54:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.963593 | 1,600 |

I write these notes as a FST Board Director but should point out that these views are my own and not necessarily those of the Board.
The Trust was of course delighted with the promotion and congratulates all at the Club on an excellent achievement and season.
The now famous ‘white wall’ at Wembley was an initiative started by the Trust which was brilliantly adopted by the majority of the fans. And credit to the Club who endorsed the message and encouraged the fans to make it happen. Certainly the group I attend with are not normally ‘colour wearers’ but everyone joined in and the display was magnificent – I can’t help but think that helped the team. Slav is a big fan of increasing the atmosphere whatever it takes so with the white wall and the club ensuring flags and clappers (arrrrgh) were on seats made it a fantastic experience.
The Club was initially heavily criticised for the ticket allocation decision. Five per season ticket holder was deemed high by many and in truth the Trust had recommended lower. However, to give credit where it is due the Club felt that we (initially season tickets holders) were best placed to create a secondary market. And this seemed to work – there certainly wasn’t the thousands of Villa fans in our end that they were claiming they would have.
It allowed fans to bring their friends and family who are not necessarily regulars anymore. This can be because of distance or age or indeed other examples. As a live example, I have friends who are massive Fulham supporters but now based in the likes of Poland (yes really!) and Manchester. For a group of friends / family who have shared the lows of Fulham, to be able to sit together for possibly the biggest high we will witness for years was incredibly great. In that respect I think the Club got things right.
But it was not by any means a totally smooth experience. Many had huge issues with Ticketmaster and the way the lines were blocked for hours and so forth.
We have continually questioned the club on Ticketmaster practices (including high phone charges) and they are sympathetic but tied into contracts.
We also want to see the return of supporters being able to select seating for away games. Ticketmaster say an upgrade is needed but this really shouldn’t be too difficult given we were able to do it at Wembley and they tend to be able to do it for other evnts. The re-introduction of this I am sure would at least dilute the tedious stand up / sit down arguments. Talks continue.
On that subject FST are supporters of ‘safe standing’ and this seems to be gathering steam with MPs softening their stance and real life examples now happening (see Shrewsbury). The authorities are likely to devolve the decision to clubs and local safety advisory groups. The Hammersmith and Fulham safety advisory group has indicated that they would be in favour of the introduction of safe standing and the Trust has asked the Club whether they would be willing to look at proposals to incorporate safe standing areas in the old ‘Enclosure’ or the Riverside Stand. The Club has confirmed that they would be open to discussions on this, subject to the football authorities granting approval.
One area we know there are more than raised eyebrows are the heavy rises in season ticket / matchday prices after the cut off for the early bird season ticket holders. It is worth noting these are probably the prices we’d be paying if we’d remained in the Premier league four years ago but it is quite a shock to see such a rise. The Club feel justified given they had 8000 expressions of interest for season tickets following promotion and the number needs to be capped following Premier league rules and the reduction in riverside seats the following season.
What disturbs many is the fact that the new prices often set the baseline for the starting prices the following season. Paying an extra £200 will be hard to swallow. The Club insists no decisions have been made as yet but we will ensure we have continued dialogue in this area. We have already signposted Watford as an example of how they structure prices in a more ‘stepping stone’ way, rewarding loyalty.
As for match tickets, the Club clearly feels they will be bought so market forces dictate. Premier league football means ruthless pricing strategies can be introduced. We will continue to keep an eye and discuss the ramifications.
Of course, in theory, this is the last season of the Riverside stand in its current guise. That means displacing a number of fans and the Club will be working hard with the Trust (and Riverside representatives) to ensure the move is done as sensitively and sensibly as possible. The Club has also asked for volunteers to consider how to represent the Club’s history and heritage in the new stand. David Daly and Alex White will lead this Working Group on the Club side with Trust members also on board.
When success happens, many might consider the role of a Trust as not so relevant. However it is always essential to keep your eye on the ball and be prepared to mobilise if things take a turn for the worse. Of course promotion gels the club together but there are ongoing issues as there always will be and the Trust is able to take these to the Club on a monthly basis as well as being given access to speak to officials ‘off-line’ too. We have unique access to the Club that other supporters would give their right hand for so we must take full advantage and represent as many of the fans as we can. This means we must evolve and consider new methods of reaching out and engaging with as many supporters as possible. In that spirit we have met with Sammy James and Jack Collins of the excellent ‘Fulhamish’ podcast to share ideas on furthering the reach and becoming more accessible and relevant to ALL our fanbase. As a starter we will be revamping our website to a fully integrated and modern model. We are always looking for members to help out so if you feel you can add value (or just want to join the Trust), please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected].
Our voice reaches many places. Our Chair, Tom Greatrex, is the current Supporters Direct (SD) Chair and was appointed as the new SD FA Council Representative in July. Tom will represent SD for a 3-year term and will work along Football Supporters Federation representative Malcolm Clarke. Again it is a coup to have a Fulham voice representing supporters at the top of the game.
Finally, you would have read elsewhere in the mag that the editor is publishing a ‘30th anniversary of TOOFIF’ book. The Trust are delighted to be hosting the book launch and have a Q&A with David and other notable names lined up. It is bound to be a blast and with a few beers an event not to miss.

A tax-deductible contribution to an eligible non-profit charity can entitle you to a tax deduction against your income tax, if you itemize deductions on your tax returns. To take a tax deduction, you must itemize your deductions. A deduction is deductible only in the year for which it is claimed. In order to qualify for a tax reduction, you must also meet other requirements, including filing all your income tax returns, if you are self-employed and not claiming any deductions on your personal income tax return or on your retirement income tax return.
There are two types of charitable donations. One is a charitable contribution made in compliance with the law, and the other is a tax-deductible contribution made in compliance with the policy of the charity. A charitable contribution made in compliance with the law is a taxable item. Thus, the amount of the contribution is taxable. The amount of a tax-deductible contribution is exempt from tax. Charitable contributions made in compliance with the policy of the charity are deductible as a charitable contribution.
Taxation of donations: There is a difference between the taxation of a charitable contribution and the taxation of the individual or family that made the gift. The gift, whether made in compliance with the law or not, is a taxable income. It will be subject to income tax. However, the tax-paid amount of the gift is treated as an exempt income under section 636 of the Internal Revenue Code. The exempt income is reduced before paying the tax.
For this reason, some people prefer to make their charitable donations via the check and a credit card. Charitable contributions made by check are always subject to UBIT, which is applied to the taxes on the item. The rate of tax on a check is 10%. Charitable contributions made via a credit card, however, are not subject to UBIT and can be deducted at a lower rate if itemized during the year.
The charitable contribution deduction can also be obtained through the establishment of a nonprofit organization. In this case, the contributions are made to the charity on behalf of the individual or an organization. The deductible amount for this purpose can be anywhere from zero to 25% of the value of the contribution. A person can also deduct a specific percentage of his or her income, if the income is the result of working away from home, and the deduction is made for a particular year. However, in order for this type of contribution to qualify as a charitable contribution, the contribution must be made in compliance with the terms and conditions of the organization.
Another way to get the charitable deduction is through the performance of a qualifying activity. Qualifying activities include volunteer work, business activities, public service and other similar activities. An individual may be able to deduct up to 50% of the amount that he or she would otherwise be required to pay to be involved in a qualifying activity. Any amount by way of compensation paid to an organization for a service or product that it provides to the public is also considered a charitable contribution. | <urn:uuid:7509c415-dfed-41ee-888a-975d8caff98d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.fund38.com/tax-deduction-charitable-donations/ | 2024-04-16T04:33:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.970255 | 610 |

Somewhere within this deadly forest, a gigantic insect is waiting. Will you be able to take it down or will it have you for lunch in Atari Centipede?
The classic game returns in this thrilling online version, which is just one of the titles you’ll find in the Atari Classics collection. It features several of the legendary gaming company’s most popular titles of all time. In Centipede, your goal is to survive for as long as you can as you’re attacked by both it and its fearsome friends. Will you be able to hold out against not just titular arthropod but other insects like spiders, scorpions, and fleas?
Centipede became an almost instant blockbuster when it debuted in arcades in the early ‘80s. It's also one of history’s first video games to be co-created by a woman. Programmer Dona Bailey teamed up with designer Ed Logg to work on the original game for Atari. Since then, Centipede has been ported to several home video game consoles and PCs. It also spawned a sequel titled Millipede in 1982.
How to Play Atari Centipede?
Atari Centipede is a browser version of the timeless arcade game. Take control of the Bug Blaster while you shoot darts at a centipede and its creepy crawly colleagues. How long can you survive in the dangerous forest they call home? | <urn:uuid:28cf61ad-ac6d-490b-8a07-3bd02ab7188b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.gamesgames.com/game/atari-centipede | 2024-04-16T05:14:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.958898 | 295 |
There’s a lot to get the hang of in Stardew Valley and anyone who either hasn’t played Harvest Moon in ages or ever has a tough time dealing with all of the game’s nuances and features.
Below are some tips for players who are new to Stardew Valley who want to have an easier time with the game. You don’t have to take my advice, but it certainly won’t hurt!
None of the tips here contain any real content spoilers, so don’t worry if you want your experience with the game to be mostly pure. The journey and experience is the whole point of the game, enjoy it while it lasts.
Give gifts wisely
You can only give each villager 1 gift per day for a total of 2 gifts per week. Be careful you don’t give anyone you want to like you something they hate, otherwise it’s a wasted gift opportunity that week.
The above all said, it’s a good idea to carry fruit or flowers around. Most villagers like them (there are exceptions) and it’s an easy method to build most relationships.
Each month is 28 days
Plan your crops and tool upgrades accordingly! Super important.
Make sure you shake trees while you’re running around
Field Snacks aren’t the best Energy replenishing food, but 45 energy isn’t much to sneeze at and they are easy to make. Shake trees while you’re running around for an extra chance of Acorns, Pinecones, and Maple Seeds — all three being the ingredients to Field Snacks.
The sooner you clean up your farm, the better
It takes a long time to get your farm all cleaned up, but you should try to get at least a fourth of it free of trees, rocks, and other debris in Spring of the first year. This way you have more room to work with during the Summer and can start working on your permanent farm layout.
Become the dumpster diver
Linus isn’t the only one who can rummage through trash, you know. You can too, if you’re brave enough.
You can dig through each villager’s trash can once a day for a chance of food. Be careful no one sees you, though. It’s more than a little awkward.
New players should read the books at the library after they find them
The Lost Books you come find aren’t just for decoration. Often they have advice new players wouldn’t be able to find otherwise, and it’s a good idea to keep up with them.
Plant round crops in 3×3 plots for a chance of one huge crop
Melons, pumpkins, cauliflower all have a chance to merge into one huge piece of produce if you plant 9 seeds together in a square 3×3 section of plot.
This huge produce sells for much more. Plant longer rows that are 3 tiles tall and a multiple of 3 long for more chances of this rare occurrence.
Plant flowers near your bees for flavored honey
Wild Honey is nice, but you can get way more money for your bee-buck by simply planting flowers near your Bee House.
Different flowers flavor your honey differently, and hence each type has a different price. Fairy Rose-flavored honey is the most valuable.
Your spouse will get jealous after marriage
This is something that’s a surprise to newlywed farmers. If you give a gift to another single villager, your spouse may think you’re trying to sneak around on them.
Take time to forage
Foraging may seem like a waste of time, but it’s well-worth it. You find things you can sell, cook, and give to villagers. Always keep an eye open.
Watch TV everyday
The television is a valuable source of information in Stardew Valley. Each program has a use:
- Weather Forecast – Tells you tomorrow’s weather, great for planning when to have your tools upgraded
- Fortune Teller – The better your luck, the better yields you’ll get when foraging, fishing, and mining. I’m not sure about farming yields.
- Queen of Sauce – Learn to recipes to cook. You’ll remember any recipes you learn before you upgrade your house, so watch whenever it’s on and not a re-run.
- Livin’ Off the Land – Gives general advice and mid-season foraging changes, such as Salmonberry season in Spring
Buy that second backpack ASAP
You need that extra storage space. It’s well-worth the 2000g at Pierre’s shop.
Chests are your best friends for general storage
You should get your first chest made during your first or second day in the game, and don’t be surprised if you end up making more. These babies only take 50 wood to make and hold a surprisingly large amount of stuff for such measly crafting requirements.
Make sure you have some animals before the first Winter
True to Harvest Moon and other farming RPGs, Winter is a quiet time in Stardew Valley. Mine, fish, make friends…
You can do more in Winter and be better prepared for Spring by having animals before the cold month hits. This way you have some steady income outside of mining, fishing, and their Artisan Goods.
You might want to make good use of Crab Pots
Catching fish that are worth very little can do a lot more for you than be a light trickle of income. You can also use them to craft two very useful items: Quality Fertilizer and Sashimi.
You only need one of any type of fish (including crustaceans) and two sap to make Quality Fertilizer once you unlock it, which gives you plants a 30% chance to be of silver star quality an 60% chance to be of gold star quality.
Sashimi can be made after you’ve upgraded your house and befriend Linus, after which he’ll send you the recipe. Sashimi only requires 1 fish and recovers 75 energy and 30 health.
Setting up 5 or 6 Crab Pots in the river south of your farm will net you a few fish a day, whether you fish or not. It’s a cheap and easy shortcut to having a steady influx of fish to make use of, especially if you don’t like fishing.
Visit the traveling cart on Fridays and Sundays
The traveling cart isn’t around much, but boy is it worth the peruse if you’re on the market for rare items.
You can find the traveling cart on the mentioned days in the forest south of your farm. Walk along the top left of the forest and you will eventually stumble upon the cart. Make sure you have plenty of money, though!
You can sell produce at Pierre’s shop and fish at Willy’s for money today instead of tomorrow
You don’t have to toss your produce and fish in the bin at your house. If you want money now to throw at seeds or upgrades, you can sell them at the shops in town. Pierre will by produce and Willy will buy fish, both for the same price as if you put them in the shipping bin.
Keep on top of bundles..
You have a totally new responsibility on your hands once you can get into the Community Center and start putting together bundles. Each bundle you put together gives some sort of reward, and once you’ve completed a set the town gets an improvement.
Make sure you keep up with bundles and deposit requested items when you can. Sometimes you never know when you’ll get another one.
.. unless you buy a JojaMart Membership
You can skip the bundle hassle if you buy a JojaMart Membership for 5000g. Instead of collecting items, you buy the town’s improvements directly.
This obviously is not meant to be the fun way to deal with city improvements and will seriously affect how you play the game considering the effort required to fulfill the bundle requirements.
Doing the bundles is meant to be a fun part of the game, but if you’re lazy and just don’t care you can just buy the Membership.
Making friends is easier when you fulfill requests
Always check the post board in front of Pierre’s shop if there’s an exclamation point. Requests not only land you money, but often increase your relationship with the villager who posted the request.
If you see a patch of dirt with three worms, whack it with your hoe
You want to fill the Library with artifacts and books for those sweet rewards and helpful literature pointing towards secrets, right? You better keep your eyes peeled for spots of dirt around town with three wriggling worms sprouting out.
Always keep your hoe on hand when walking around Pelican Town in case you come across these spots. They’re the only way to get Lost Books and a big source of artifacts — though sometimes all you get is ore or clay.
Save on Hay by pushing your animals outside
You don’t have to grow or buy Hay to feed your livestock. Build a fence outside their building and have grass in their outdoor enclosure so they can eat. Just don’t leave them out in bad weather.
There’s pretty much no reason not to use fertilizer
Just like in real life, fertilizer in Stardew Valley can be a big help to your crops’ growth rate or yields.
You unlock the Basic Fertilizer recipe very early on, which only requires 2 Sap to craft. Quality Fertilizer, Basic Retaining Soil, and Quality Retaining Soil are similarly easy to craft. As soon as you’re able, start using fertilizer on your crops. You won’t be sorry. | <urn:uuid:2a819276-0e1c-41a6-8691-f8e10fb8daee> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.gameskinny.com/tips/stardew-valley-beginners-tips-for-the-ambitious-farmer-without-a-clue/ | 2024-04-16T04:46:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.940817 | 2,070 |

Most know of Oregon’s history with the great westward migration, but another migration also took place in the state – east from Asia. As a result, Portland, Oregon, has two inspiring gardens that reflect the cultures of China and Japan.
It’s hard to imagine you are standing in the heart of downtown Portland when you step into the entry courtyard of the Lan Su Chinese Garden, considered the most authentic Suzhou-style garden outside of China.
This one-square block garden is a window into Chinese culture, history and way of thinking. Designed to look like the 16th century home and garden of a wealthy Chinese family, the garden’s paths take you into authentic buildings, through doorways into secluded courtyards, and past windows framed to offer views within views.
Lan Su’s plant collection includes more than 90 specimen trees, rare and unusual shrubs and perennials, and signature magnolia, orchid and camellia collections.
In spring, Lan Su in Bloom, spans eight weeks in April through May and includes talks, tours and displays. In winter, the garden celebrates the Chinese New Year with lion and dragon dances, music, and an exhibition of more than 300 hanging and floating lanterns.
Overlooking downtown in Washington Park, the Portland Japanese Garden is considered the most authentic Japanese garden outside Japan. Tranquil beauty surrounds you from the moment you enter the garden. Winding pathways past ponds and waterfalls and over bridges (including an authentic Moon Bridge) lead to five gardens – Strolling Pond Garden, Natural Garden, Tea Garden, Sand and Stone Garden, and Flat Garden. Along the way traditional Japanese plantings, including an impressive array of old growth Japanese maples, great you at every turn.
In the spring of 2017, the garden opened a $33.5 million, 3.4-acre Cultural Village expansion designed by Kengo Kuma – the man behind the Tokyo Olympics’ National Stadium. The key features include three new garden spaces, a 3,000-square foot Castle Wall and a mozenmachi-inspired courtyard, this new Cultural Village provides additional space to the garden, but also – and most importantly – enhance its ability to immerse visitors in traditional Japanese arts and culture.
Portland has an incredible collection of other gardens worth a visit. The International Rose Test Garden hugs the hillside of Washington Park with a spectacular view of Mt. Hood and downtown. More than 10,000 plantings of some 590 rose varieties are displayed in the terraced landscape. The Hoyt Arboretum is home to plants from all seven continents. The Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden features 2,500 specimens. Elk Rock Garden of the Bishop’s Close is worth the drive to southwest of the city. Perched on a bluff overlooking the Willamette River, this surprising garden was created in the early 1890s. Plantings across the 13-acre estate include lovely rock gardens and a magnolia walk.
WHEN YOU GO:
You can’t visit Portland without a stop at downtown’s Voodoo Doughnuts, a legendary 24-hour doughnut shop with crazy toppings like fruit loops, bacon and Oreo’s, plus a voodoo doll shaped doughnut filled with raspberry jelly and topped with chocolate frosting. Prepare to wait in line at any hour of the day.

What should you pay attention to when customizing T-shirts? How to customize T-shirts so as not to be cheated! Today’s large and small companies and shops in all walks of life, In order to improve the overall image, most people are willing to customize work clothes to unify employees. When holding various festivals or annual meetings and other large and small events, they are also willing to unify advertising shirts to expand the advertising effect of the event and increase the atmosphere of the event. Sometimes I even want to give my friend a specially customized T-shirt gift for his birthday, or a couple wants to customize a unique couple’s outfit. Good friends and sisters in the dormitory want to customize uniform and interesting dormitory uniforms, bestie outfits, and student sports events. Striking class uniforms, etc… So how should you choose clothes that suit your needs when your needs are different? This depends on the specific usage. This article mainly talks about the selection skills of customized T-shirts, such as
Long-term wear: Choose clothes priced around 35-65. Generally speaking, the quality is decent at this price stage. If you are lucky, the profit will be very thin. Merchants can also buy T-shirts whose quality is comparable to that of brand stores.
Wear it once in a while: Choose clothes priced around 35-65. Although you don’t wear them often, you will wear them from time to time. Then the quality must be a little more reliable. If it is too poor, it will cause various problems after wearing it once or twice and you will not be able to wear it out, which will be very uncomfortable.
Only wear for a limited number of days: select a price within 20, for example, only wear it for a few days during the May Day period to do activities, activities I will never wear it again after it’s over, so don’t look at anything in this scene. The main thing is to look at the price. After all, you can save money on activities. Anyway, wear it for a few days, as long as it doesn’t rot in these days. This situation is very simple. Just send the quantity you need and the content you need to print to various merchants, wait for quotations from various merchants, and then choose the one with the same price and high cost performance among the two or three cheaper ones. , you can place an order. Please refer to the following for how to choose the one with the best price/performance ratio.
What should you pay attention to when customizing T-shirts? How to customize T-shirts so as not to be cheated! First of all, rich people, please go out and do it right Transfer, because you don’t need to read this article, just buy the expensive one. It’s simple and hassle-free. The expensive one may not be the best, but it will definitely not be much different.
When choosing customized T-shirts, we pay attention to the following aspects:
1. Price (it is always expected to buy cost-effective goods within your expectations)
2. Fading (fading of clothes or printed content is a frustrating experience)
3. Shrinkage (it fits well when you first wear it but becomes smaller the more you wash it. Not only will it deform due to shrinkage and look wrinkled and unsightly, it will even give you the illusion of fat gain@_@)
4. The printing is cracked (it was beautiful when I first got it, but it can be moved after being exposed to the sun for two days and washed. The printed graphics and text are cracked, or even falling off in severe cases! The feeling is simply devastating…)
The above four points are the problems that are usually encountered and difficult to solve. Today I will mainly teach you how to judge these problems. Other minor problems such as: too many threads, off-line, small color differences caused by different production batches, etc. I won’t go into details. For example, if there are too many threads and the threads come off, we can remove the threads ourselves. If the threads come off, we can sew or mend them ourselves or wear them without any big impact. As for the problem of color difference, it is very small. Chances are, even if you encounter it, generally the color difference of clothes made by large manufacturers will not be noticeable unless you look carefully. If it is obvious, you can only negotiate with the merchant. This time it will test your eloquence and luck.
The price of customized T-shirts is generally divided into two parts: (clothing price) and (processing price). The clothing price is The cost of blank clothes and the processing price are the prices of the pattern craftsmanship such as printing or embroidery that we need to customize.
First look at the price of clothes: no matter what you buy, the essence of most business transactions is that you pay for every penny. Goods, especially those with a low unit price, are good. However, there are also a small number of unscrupulous merchants who take advantage of online transactions where buyers cannot see the physical goods to pass them off as good and make huge profits. Of course, you can intuitively feel the fabric texture of the clothes when choosing them in an offline store. If your order quantity is relatively large, many local merchants are willing to bring sample clothes to your office to introduce them to you without leaving home. You can choose, and you can also look for different merchants to compare horizontally. In this way, at least you can see the different quality clothes quoted by merchants according to your own budget, and you will feel a little confident. But most of my friends don’t have large quantities, and they can’t find local merchants (local merchants in most areas are not large-scale concentrated industries in the clothing industry, so they are limited by high costs, not advanced technology, etc., and their advantages are not Not big.) The only way to choose a merchant is on the almighty Taobao, so how to judge?
If you choose to customize T-shirts on Taobao, you can find real manufacturers, but not all manufacturers Everyone is willing to open Taobao. What manufacturers pursue is a large enough order quantity. If the quantity is small and cannot meet the minimum order quantity of many manufacturers, there will be no chance of cooperation. Nine out of ten stores on Taobao that claim to be manufacturers are falsely advertised. Many stores do not have much sales but have pictures of large factories in industrial zones, claiming to serve hundreds of thousands of group customers. The pictures of this kind of merchants are generally The various online pictures I found were not taken on site. As long as I asked for the factory location and searched it on Baidu Map to check, there was nowhere to hide. Since it is so difficult to find manufacturers, how can we screen them? At this time, when we don’t know enough about this industry, the simple way is: find a store that can provide sample clothes. You can find a store to buy one based on your budget. You can have a good idea of a sample of clothing after you get it and look at it. You can also wash it and test for problems such as fading and shrinkage. However, the disadvantage is that the cost is relatively high. You may buy clothes from more than ten stores, which will take up a lot of your original budget. Partially. Now in the past two years, many merchants on Taobao can send sample clothes for free, but most of them have some restrictions. For example, you need to pay for the shipping fee when returning it, and you cannot conduct washing tests. However, compared to spending money to buy one and go back to check the quality, it is already It saves a lot, and even if it cannot be washed, just feeling the fabric and workmanship will greatly reduce our risk of being cheated, right? After all, it is not just one person who will wear it. If it is not done well, it will be a waste of effort. It’s not enough, so I’d rather spend a little more energy. So now that we have seen the actual samples of clothes, it is easy to judge which one is more cost-effective when we shop around with three or even five or eight companies, and the main price part of the customization process is solved.
In fact, the simple way to choose the printing part is the same as for clothes: look at the sample clothes! No matter how awesome the merchant says , we have an attitude of 90% disbelief and 10% belief, and we have to see the real thing before we speak. How to judge whether there is a problem with the printing after getting the actual product? You can do a simple test:
1. By rubbing and scrubbing, you can test the color fading of the printed part.
2. By pulling, you can test the firmness of the printed material. Pulling the material that will not crack can only be worn normally. It won’t crack. This kind of pulling requires a relatively strong pull to pull out all the elasticity of the fabric. If the printing does not crack, it means it is very secure.

Both touches each other’s face with tenderness
Those big muscles draws other one close
A meet of lips, commoves them deep
Tongues begin passion’s war, pigment gloss
Starring into each other’s eyes,
Glistening bodies in a dark room
Unreeled now, bare and pure
All is gasp of ecstasy, rest is toom.
Forgotten now, the outside world
They meet in passionate need
Wondrously delightless bodies
Desperately ready to feed
Unbuckling of belts, stripping of jeans
Legs wrapped tight around a waist
Actions done with all pace
And then a moment of rest.
Departs with a kiss on phallus

Installing Historian using the Command Line
About this task
You can install Historian using the command line. The command-line install functionality allows you to generate an output template/answer file. This file contains all the necessary properties for an installation. The generated file can then be consumed as an input file for further installations requiring the same properties. (The input file consumed should never be generated from scratch.) Input template/answer files can be used in conjunction with silent
- Invoke the installer, specifying that an output template be generated.
- Go through the installer UI, selecting all your desired options, up until the last screen before installation (the screen that reads ?You are ready to install ?.). At this point, the template/answer file is generated, whether you proceed with the software install or not.
- Use the generated file as an input template/answer file for another Historian Server installation where you want to use the same specified options.

Lankzet is a unique affordable tourbillon smartwatch which is launched via Kickstarter this month and combines the tourbillon mechanics together with the features of a smartwatch at an “irresistible price” say its creators. Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about its design construction and features which are available from $399.
Features of the Lankzet tourbillon smartwatch include :
– Perpetual Calendar & Moon Phase
– Classical Games On Wristwatch
– Smartwatch Functionalities
– True Luxury With A Passion For Complexity
– Laser Precise Metalic Frame
– Craftsmanship & Assemblage
– Patented Design
“Deep down inside, we all find great satisfaction and appreciation in the beauty and complexity of precision machines, for example, the mechanical watch. When craftsmanship, physics, and function meet, what is created can only be called art. The famously intricate watch complication known as the ‘Tourbillon‘ dates back to the 1800s. This tiny yet critical component in the mechanical watch has been inspiring people for generations. The love of such sophisticated mechanical movement endures, but Tourbillion watches require an incredible amount of skill and experience to create which has made them an expensive luxury that is out of reach for many…”

Looking for a MultiVersus tier list of the best characters? The new fighting game based on hit Warner Bros franchises contains plenty of familiar faces, ranging from superheroes to cartoon classics. If you don't know which character to select when diving into a battle, then we're here to help.
In this MultiVersus guide, we'll rank each and every one of the current fighters, based on their performance in the closed alpha, pre-release beat, and open beta tests. It'll help you decide which ones are worth investing your time into and which are best left untouched.
MultiVersus tier list (March 2024) - best solo characters
MultiVersus tier list
Check the table above to see our preliminary tier list of all the current MultiVersus characters. Since the game is now properly out, our rankings are based on a combination of in-game performance, pro-level opinions, and community feedback.
- Read more: The best free action games
You'll notice that anyone who "mains" a certain character will claim that their placement (if low) just means they're underused or misunderstood. And that's fair. But another thing that weighs a character's placement is how hard they are to pick up and play.
If they're only good for the one percent of players who put in the time to learn their skillset, they don't deserve a high spot. Accessibility and usability are factored in just as much as power, support, and other key metrics, which is why Reindog is at the bottom despite few players bigging up the character's hidden skill.
MultiVersus 2v2 tier list - best team picks
MultiVersus 2v2 tier list
Now, this one is a little difficult to explain. Like the tier list above, it uses a bunch of different metrics (power, skill, ease of use, support, combo, etc), but looks at how well two characters work together. We can't put every single pairing together purely because of how many possibilities there are, but we can rank some popular picks and have you fill in the rest.
Simply put, if a pairing is further at the bottom, the characters involved are just less likely to work well with any 2v2 situation. A lot of it will boil down to each player's skill, but you can only be as good as the characters can allow.
Who is the next MultiVersus character?
Announced officially on September 23, 2022, Rick from hit cartoon Rick and Morty joined the game on September 27. Then, Stripe from Gremlins also arrived in October.
Since then, we've also had Gizmo and Black Adam join the game.
Will there be more MultiVersus characters?
If the current roster doesn't include your favourite character from Warner Bros franchises, then worry not - new characters are on the way.
At the moment, WB Games has already added a few new characters in Morty and Gizmo. Equally, we don't know whether more characters will be announced prior to MultiVersus releasing publicly, or if they'll come as add-ons.
However, some renowned leakers have pointed towards characters that'll come to MultiVersus at some point.
As per Hungrybox, Gandalf from Lord of the Rings is also set to be in the game, after early development screenshots leaked. That could be subject to change though, depending on whether plans or licenses have changed in the time since those leaks emerged.
- Read more: Project Slayers tier list
Even if Gandalf doesn't come to MultiVersus, new characters are definitely on the way. Expect even more DC icons, Looney Tunes characters, and Cartoon Network classics.
In fact, the game's director recently posted a tweet all about how they're "working on a future character" and that "some cool stuff is in store." That's enough to suggest that more characters beyond the leaks are in development.
That's it for our MultiVersus tier list. We'll be sure to update it once new characters land and the meta changes at public release. Until then, feel free to check out our MultiVersus voice actors list, to see who's behind your favourite fighter. | <urn:uuid:bbcf702f-ebda-47f1-a98f-c30c77ac3ca1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.gfinityesports.com/multiversus/tier-list-best-fighters-ranked/ | 2024-04-16T05:14:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.96552 | 869 |
A legislator in the Philippines has proposed a bill to regulate online gambling activities within the country.
Currently, First Cagayan Leisure & Resort Corp is the exclusive master licensor and regulator of offshore online gaming permits issued by the Cagayan Special Economic Zone, the online gaming jurisdiction operating in the Cagayan Special Economic Zone in the northeastern part of the Philippines.
Anti Crime and Terrorism Community Involvement and Support (ACT-CIS) party member Samuel D. Pagdilao introduced the new bill to the House of Representatives on Monday, according to a statement from the country’s lower house of the Congress.
Mr Pagdilao said House Bill 4540 seeks to monitor Internet gambling “and protect minors from the pernicious effects of gambling”.
“People are no longer bound to physical locations and are able to place their bets from within their own homes,” Mr Pagdilao said while presenting the bill.
The bill defines ‘Internet gaming’ as “the placing of bets or wagers where [the] licensee [is] located in the Philippines using a computer network through which a licensee may offer authorised Internet games to individuals who have registered and established an Internet gaming account with the licensee”.
Mr Pagdilao’s proposal states that a person who is 18 years of age or older is permitted to participate as a registered player in online gambling activities.
If the bill is enacted it would lead to the creation of a regulated market that would include the application of severe fines for those operating outside of its legislative framework.
Operators found guilty of allowing minors on their platforms could be sanctioned with imprisonment from 5 years to 10 years and pay fines ranging from PHP5 million (US$115,286) to PHP10 million. These would be imposed “upon any licensee or employee of a licensee who knowingly allows a person under 18 years of age to open, maintain, or use an Internet gaming account,” according to the statement.
According to the bill, an online gambling operator would have apply for a Internet Gaming Certificate with the state-run Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp (Pagcor). Pagcor would be responsible for regulating the online market.

Business News of Wednesday, 19 July 2017
Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta has said government is not pulling out of the three-year $918m IMF deal as some media houses are misinterpreting President Nana Akufo-Addo to have said when he met journalists for his first press conference.
At the press conference, the president said: “The IMF programme is not going to be extended,” adding: “We are committed to completing the programme. The last budget that is going to be held under the IMF will be the budget that is going to be laid before the House in November by the Finance Minister.”
He pointed out that the move to end the programme was important because “we will be on our own to be able to mobilise resources to confront our future”, adding: “The concept is a Ghana beyond aid.”
Subsequently, the Ministry of Finance has issued a statement clarifying that the president’s comments did not mean his government was pulling out of the programme ahead of its deadline.
“The government will like to reiterate and clarify the president’s state at the first Meet The Press held on 18 July 2017 when he mentioned that Ghana wouldn’t enter a new deal with IMF beyond the current programme. In response to a question, the president stated that: ‘There is no question of the IMF programme being extended. It is coming to an end next year with the budget that we are going to prepare. This statement has unfortunately been misrepresented by some section of the media.
“The government will like to clarify that Ghana will complete the IMF programme throughout budget cycle of January 2018 through December 2018 as stated by the president. The 2018 budget will therefore be the last budget under the current IMF programme. After the completion of the programme at the end of the budget cycle in December 2018, government will not extend it.
“The president’s remark should, therefore, not be interpreted to mean that the government is pulling out of the IMF programme. On the contrary, government will continue with it and complete the IMF programme through the budget cycle of January 2018 through December 2018,” the statement said | <urn:uuid:fc8fcbd7-a2f1-450e-8228-30a6b2f2c3f8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/business/Government-not-pulling-out-of-IMF-deal-Ofori-Atta-560476 | 2024-04-16T04:04:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.970331 | 457 |

More About Glenn
I am a professional entertainer with over 20 years of experience. I started my career by performing for children’s birthday parties as a magician and doing balloon sculpturing. Occasionally, I would be asked to use my magic tricks as a teaching tool to deliver a visual message for children’s church. I soon began receiving calls to entertain for family and adult events for other churches in my area. This lead to calls from local businesses and civic clubs requesting my comical magic show for their special events and Christmas parties. Doors were opening and before I knew it, agents were booking my show at conventions, trade shows, and seminars for major corporations, associations, and resorts throughout the United States.
I still work with agents and perform for associations, resorts, and corporate events, but I am focusing more on entertainment for churches. Doors are opening for me to perform for all types of Christian activities, and I feel my talents are best used as an outreach ministry tool. I’m taking it one step at a time and following opportunities as God guides and directs me. I am not a highly trained minister, or an evangelist, but I am a dedicated Christian that has been blessed with a gift to bring audiences to laughter, help them forget their problems, and feel good about the wonderful life they have been given.
As I look back on my life and career, what I once thought were disabilities, obstacles, or just plain bad luck, were actually God’s way of teaching, training, and preparing me. I did not wake up one morning and all of a sudden have the ability to entertain people with laughter. It’s been a continual learning journey that God started me on as a child. I now understand …. I am to use my talent as a tool to draw people to church, entertain them, gain their respect so they will listen with excitement and be open to God’s message….a message that’s easily understood by children, and at the same time, non-threatening or boring for adults. My show is designed to create a happy, friendly, open atmosphere of fun and laughter that will give people the desire to return to church, make friends, and become an active productive part of your church family.
An Open Letter From Glenn Strange to Whom It May Concern:
God has blessed me with the gifts to understand the importance of humor, make people laugh, and entertain audiences of all ages. I believe it’s God’s desire and my duty to use my gifts as tools, to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to children and adults, in a clear, easy to understand, way. I want them to know that God loves them, he sent his son Jesus Christ to show us the way, and to die on the cross for our sins. The only way we can have eternal life in heaven is by loving God, confessing our sins, asking for forgiveness, and accepting Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior.
The illusions I perform on stage require no special supernatural powers. They’re only tricks that I have learned from reading books, and many, many hours of study and practice. The tricks I do are designed to entertain by fooling the eyes of the audience. They’re not miracles. I’m not capable of performing miracles, but I do believe in miracles. Only God can do miracles.
My Statement of Faith:
I believe the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired, and is God’s revelation of Himself to man. It has God for its author, and all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy. The Bible is a perfect treasure of divine instruction.
I believe in the Holy Trinity: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
I believe Christ is the eternal Son of God. In His incarnation as Jesus Christ He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ lived a sinless life, died on the cross on Calvary, for each person’s Salvation, arose on the third day and later ascended into heaven where He sits at the Right Hand of God, and all who trust in Him as their personal Savior are saved through His precious shed blood and have become children of God. | <urn:uuid:565995b6-d9a5-432e-af18-36493c668ad0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.glennstrange.com/church-program/about-glenn/ | 2024-04-16T04:45:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.968828 | 879 |

GLOBE Students Survey Hydrology Constituents in Northern Italy
For the last several years, the Friuli Region in north-east Italy has been actively utilizing GLOBE Hydrology Protocols for several monitoring activities along the Mincio and Po Rivers, and along other river tributaries in northern Italy. In this region, GLOBE school Istituto Tecnico Industriale Statale Malignani (ISIS) Malignani and its collaborating schools have made terrific progress in the implementation and development of school networks involving environmental investigation and protection in co-operation with local, provincial, and regional public bodies and agencies. ISIS Malignani has become a reference point for the GLOBE Program in Italy. The school has taken on the role of a laboratory for environmental education, organizing and managing teacher training courses and large-scale scientific research events, and developing didactic and communication materials. According to Italy's primary Country Coordinator Sandro Sutti, "Schools such as ISIS Malignani are both the present and the future of the GLOBE Program in Italy."
In spring 2011, three major water-monitoring activities took place in the Friuli. This year marked the 21st Rivers Monitoring Project along the Rivers Mincio and Po which took place 3 May 2011. The project represented a whole school year of hydrology education during which students worked within school labs and learned about the investigative process, proper methods of data collection, and how to construct research reports on their findings. Other large-scale events for this region included the 11th annual "Fiumi Di Primavera" (Rivers of Spring) activity on 23 March, and the 12th annual "A Scuola Sul Fiume" (School on the River) investigation that took place on 4 May.
The 21st Rivers Monitoring Project
Along the Rivers Mincio and Po, two different school networks annually join forces to carry out a complex, two-part surface water quality monitoring activity: Project Mincio-Po and Project Macroinvertebrates, together referred to as the Rivers Monitoring Project. Project Mincio-Po investigates the quality of the rivers Mincio, Po, Goldone, and Osone through chemical and bacterial tests. Project Macroinvertebrates monitors the quality of the River Mincio and a number of its tributaries to investigate the presence and composition of macroinvertebrates. Both projects last an entire school year and are coordinated, assisted, and partially supported by Labter-Crea Environmental Education Centre. The Project Mincio-Po field investigation is limited to one monitoring day, generally at the end of April or at the beginning of May, while field investigation for Project Macroinvertebrates takes place over three months. Field investigations for both projects are preceded by activities in school labs and followed by the final sessions, which include data collection and reporting their findings.
On 3 May 2011, dozens of schools came together for Project Mincio-Po. The waters of the River Mincio (tributary of the river Po), the waters of the River Po and the waters of the rivers Goldone and Osone (main tributaries of the river Mincio) were analyzed. A total of 13 monitoring stations were placed along the water bodies being tested. Six Junior Secondary Schools made the analyses, tutored by four Senior Secondary Schools. (Junior Schools: Monzambano, Valeggio sul Mincio, Goito, Curtatone, Mantova Sacchi, Mantova Bertazzolo; Senior Schools: IS Fermi, ITA Strozzi and IPSIA Vinci in Mantova, and IPAA in San Benedetto Po.)
The investigation utilized GLOBE Hydrology Protocols to gather data, including Dissolved Oxygen (Oxygen Saturation), BOD5 (5-day test to measure the Biochemical Oxygen Demand), pH, Water Temperature, Nitrates, Phosphates, Water Transparency (Turbidity), Conductivity, Total Solids, Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Heavy Metals. Escherichia coli and Heavy Metals were analyzed in order to calculate some water quality indexes required by Italian law. Students and teachers alike enjoyed both the field measurements activities as well as the collaborative effort among schools and school networks. "I appreciate the fact that we worked together, exchanging information and advice, helping each other," said Elena, a third-year student at the Vocational School for Agriculture and Environment in San Benedetto Po. Andrea, a second-year student at the same school remarked that the project was "a very good experience between science and environment. I am very interested in water."
A comparison was made between the average values obtained in the 2011 monitoring day and the averages of historical data obtained in the 20 previous editions since the project's inception in 1991. The final report was prepared in July 2011 and sent to all schools who participated in the project, as well as the administrations of the municipalities where the schools are located. Students and teachers within the school networks used the final report to discuss the quality of the waters, the possible causes, and remedies. The report was also sent to local newspapers and television stations and published for the benefit of the wider community.
School on the River
Taking place immediately after the field investigations for the Rivers Monitoring Project, the 12th annual "School on the River" brought together students and teachers from several different school networks for an interactive outdoor education experience. On 4 May 2011, approximately 500 students and 50 teachers gathered for an activity under the Environment and Quality School Project to monitor the waters of Stream Torre, located between the towns of Musi and Zampitta. The event was primarily coordinated through GLOBE schools ISIS Malignani Cervignano Del Friuli and ISIS Solari Tolmezzo and concluded a school year of training, tutoring, and monitoring activities. It represents an important collaboration between primary and secondary schools and between schools and communities.
For this activity, 10 monitoring stations were set up along the river Torre, and the water was analyzed according to GLOBE Hydrology Protocols. Students tested for fecal coliforms and bioindicators such as Macroinvertebrates. Additional checklists of ecological and environmental parameters of the investigated areas were compiled according to the Project Act4 Rivers. In general, participants collected data necessary to calculate the River Functionality Index (IFF): Dissolved Oxygen, pH, Water Temperature, Nitrates, Phosphates, Water Transparency (Turbidity), and Conductivity, as well as testing for Fecal Coliforms, Macroinvertebrates, and Macrophytes.
Data results were reported on posters for discussion among teachers, students, and other participants. The data was also published in a bulletin to be sent to the local community. GLOBE school I.T.I. "Malignani 2000" Cervignano del Friuli has played a major role in coordinating the annual "A Scuola Sul Fiume" for the last 12 years since the project was initiated in 2000. This year several different schools and school networks participated in this event:
· Palazzolo Comprehensive School: 3 Junior High Schools (Muzzana, Carlino, Palazzolo)
· Tarcento Comprehensive School: 2 Elementary Schools (Tarcento and Vedronza), 1 Junior High School (Tarcento)
· Pavia in Udine Comprehensive School
· Elementary School in Pradamano
· 6 High Schools: IPSIA Ceconi Udine, I.T.I. "Malignani 2000" Cervignano del Friuli, ITI Malignani San Giorgio di Nogaro, ISIS Solari Tolmezzo, Liceo Scientifico Tecnologico Malignani Cervignano, Liceo Scientifico "Einstein" Cervignano del Friuli.
Rivers of Spring
To celebrate World Water Day on 23 March 2011, thousands of people, including students, teachers, and local residents, took part in a multitude of scientific, naturalistic, and artistic activities on Montoca Lakes and the Mincio River. This was the 11th annual "Fiumi Di Primavera" gathering for the people of Mantova, Northern Italy, and is the largest European event organized to celebrate World Water Day. The focus this year was to promote the awareness of water consumption and make connections between water and energy. The waters of the Mantova Lower Lake, made by the River Mincio, were analyzed by three Senior Secondary Schools: ISIS Malignani in Cervignano del Friuli, ITA Strozzi in Mantova, and IS Fermi in Mantova.
Water was analyzed according to GLOBE Hydrology Protocols, including Dissolved Oxygen, BOD5, pH, Water Temperature, Nitrates, Phosphates, Water Transparency, and Total Solids. Demonstrations were also made on how to filter water to detect E. coli. The data was used to discuss several water-related issues with Rivers of Spring participants, including surface water quality, pollutants and possible steps of remediation.
The World Water Day, Rivers of Spring event is a wonderful public activity for students, teachers, and community members. Mara Saccani, a teacher at Junior Secondary School in Viadana, thanked the coordinators of the event stating, "Dear friends, thanks for the memorable day. The students have spoken about it with all the teachers, calling it the most beautiful day of their school life."
Congratulations to the GLOBE community in Italy, Labter-Crea Environmental Education Centre, and GLOBE Italy Country Coordinators Sandro Sutti and Lorella Rigonat for their hard work and astute vision in organizing and directing these major events.

If you’re buying a pub, restaurant, or shop, it’s important to check that the premises license is current and active. A lapsed personal license has 28 days in which to be reinstated, after that time it is gone for good and a new premises license must be applied for.
You’ll also need to ensure that the premises have a personal license holder – this is someone who has been authorized by the local authority and sells alcohol on the premises under the licensing act 2003. Without a personal license holder, you won’t be able to sell alcohol at your pub, restaurant, or shop.
If the pub, restaurant, or shop you’re buying doesn’t have an existing premises license, you will need to make an application for a new license. This can be an intimidating and time-consuming process if are new to it.
What is a pub license and what does it allow you to do?
A pub license, also known as a premises license, is what you need in order to sell alcohol on a regular basis from your pub. If you also want to sell hot food and drink late at night after 11 PM or provide public entertainment, you will need to apply for a pub license for public safety.
Once your pub license application is approved, you will be issued with a premises license summary. This document must be displayed in a prominent place at your pub so that customers can see it.
The pub license will state the name and address of the premises, the types of alcohol that can be sold, the hours during which alcohol can be sold, any conditions attached to the license, and the name of the designated premises supervisor (DPS).
As per the licensing act 2003, If you are not a DPS (Designated Premises Supervisor) yourself, you will need to appoint someone who is in order to apply for the pub license. They will then need to complete a form known as an ‘accredited persons’ declaration.
How do I apply for a pub license?
To apply for a pub license, you will need to submit an application to your licensing authority. The application must include:
- The name and address of the premises
- The name and contact details of the licensee of the premises
- A floor plan of the premises
- A description of the proposed use of the premises
- The days and hours when alcohol will be sold
- The days and hours when hot food and drink will be sold (if applicable)
- The days and hours when public entertainment will be provided (if applicable)
The cost of a pub license varies depending on the local authority in which the premises is located. You can expect to pay anywhere from £100 to £1,000 for your pub license application.
Benefits of having a pub license:
There are many benefits of applying for a personal license, such as:
- Allowing you to sale of alcohol on a regular basis from your pub
- Allowing you to sell hot food and drink after 11 PM
- Allowing you to provide public entertainment
- Giving your customers peace of mind that you are operating legally and free from crime and disorder
- Avoiding any hefty fines that could be issued if you operate without a license
Pub license also shows your commitment to running a safe and legal business to supply alcohol.
Things to consider before applying for a pub license:
Before you start the sale of alcohol or apply for a license you must know the following things:
A pub license or alcohol licensing is usually valid for 10 years, after which time it will need to be renewed. If there are any changes to the premises or the way in which it is operated during this 10-year period, you will need to apply for a variation of the pub license to supply alcohol.
Any individual over the age of 18 can apply for a pub license, as long as they are also a local authority or Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS). To be a DPS, you must hold a valid Personal License (APLH).
If you don’t have licensed premises in England and Wales, you are caught selling alcohol, you could be fined up to £20,000. You may also be liable for any costs incurred by the local authority in relation to investigating and prosecuting you. In addition, your premises could be closed down for up to three months for relevant licensing.
So, it’s well worth ensuring that you have a valid pub license before you start selling alcohol from your pub! | <urn:uuid:bd177e09-ced4-4833-b6e2-53b358712b60> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.globeustraining.co.uk/blog/why-you-need-a-pub-license-in-england-and-wales/ | 2024-04-16T04:23:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.946723 | 927 |
Tewkesbury Borough Council is exploring the option of changing its name to better represent its diverse and strategic area. The council has launched a consultation to hear the views of residents and businesses on the possibility of changing its name from Tewkesbury Borough Council to North Gloucestershire Borough Council.
The idea emerged from the feedback of community groups, businesses and parishes, who felt that the current name was not inclusive of the entire borough, which covers 160 square miles. It includes other large areas such as Brockworth, Bishop’s Cleeve, Winchcombe and Churchdown.
The consultation coincides with the launch of a new Council Plan, which sets out the council’s vision and priorities for the next four years. The council said that it was a good time to explore if there was any support for a new name, as the existing logo was outdated and difficult to use on digital assets such as the website and online forms.

A council spokesperson said: “We want to ensure our name is as inclusive as it possibly can be. We also don’t feel that our current name reflects our ambition to attract jobs and investment for our whole borough and better reflect our key strategic location.”
They added: “With new members joining following the elections, and alongside the development of a new Council Plan launch, it also felt like an opportune time to explore if there is any support for a new name. With lots of change happening – including our approach to modernise – it’s a good time to consider it and see what residents think.”

The council assured that any costs associated with a name change would be very minimal and covered by existing budgets, and that the change would not affect the services or the ways in which residents interact with the council. The council said that the main way in which its logo was used was on digital assets, which would not cost anything to update, and that any physical signage would be updated as part of the sign’s normal maintenance to avoid any additional costs.
The council also said that the roll-out would take part in two cost-conscious phases:
- Phase one – April 2024: focused on areas where the new name can be applied without any additional spending e.g. digital channels and assets
- Phase two – 2024 onwards: centred on physical assets, such as street furniture, vehicles and signage. Only items due for replacement – ensuring no additional cost to the council.
The council added that there would not be any legal issues associated with a name change and that the status of the council would remain as a borough, therefore a name change would be a straightforward process.
The council is asking for views as part of its Council Plan consultation, which runs until 2 February 2024.

Paragraphing macros break, or terminate, any pending output line
so that a new paragraph can begin. Several paragraph types are
available, differing in how indentation applies to them: to left, right,
or both margins; to the first output line of the paragraph, all output
lines, or all but the first. All paragraphing macro calls cause the
insertion of vertical space in the amount stored in the PD
register, except at page or column breaks. Alternatively, a blank input
line breaks the output line and vertically spaces by one vee.

Ready to jump in? Let’s go.
1. Create a visually compelling store experience to boost sales
Consumers tend to decide whether they want to buy at the store within the first few seconds of browsing. For this reason, it’s important to provide great visuals, make the information as easy and accessible to digest, and provide consumers with the right “proof” to make the purchase decision.
Here are some helpful tips on how to design your store to pack a visual punch:
Include a variety of in-context and product-only images
Images are essential in helping customers make purchasing decisions. When you’re creating images for your products, make sure you understand the specific needs of your customers and to include the following:
In-context shots that show products in use
These create an emotional bond and tell a story. It’s also the perfect way to show your products in action or suggest a particular use for your product.
Product only shots
High-quality images of all your product angles, ideally with a white background for greater appeal.
Customize your product images
Using the GoDaddy E-store, you also have a lot of flexibility on how to best showcase images throughout your store. Here are a few options for your store:
If you have a featured product section and product images that have a square orientation, use the Spotlight layout to make them stand out. From the GoDaddy E-store editor, select the Featured Product section, and choose the Layout option.
You may also sell products that have a certain size or shape, so the product images will likely look better in a specific orientation. To customize the shape in which those product images appear on your store, go to the store page, choose the Product Gallery tab and then click Image Options.
Product detail pages
You can also make your product images stand out further on product detail pages by selecting the Hero Image layout. This is great for showcasing beautiful product shots as the main focus of your product detail page.
To choose this layout, go to your store page, choose the Product Page tab, then select the Layout option.
Create a stunning first impression and urgency to buy with a header
Provide a powerful visual image (an in-context shot, or aspirational image of your product being used) and pair it with an action button to shop.
How to? Go to the Website editor, click Header, and select the Cover Media to use.
You can also add an Action Button and specify the message. For an added touch, the message should emphasize an urgency to buy.
Use the Photo Gallery to feature helpful product images
You can also take advantage of merchandising beautiful product images through the photo gallery feature in the GoDaddy E-store.
From your website editor, simply select Add a Section and choose Photo Gallery.
You’ll see various options on layouts to choose from and how your images are displayed. This is a great opportunity to show photos of customers using your product or in-context product shots, to create an appealing connection to your potential customer.
For more details on this feature, take a look at our photo gallery help guide.
Enable a promotional banner with limited time only messaging
Let your customers know that you’re having a sale or special offer so that they have a strong reason to purchase right then and there.
You can have multiple sales happening throughout the year but run one sale at a time so there is more urgency to purchase during those specific timeframes.
Your message should include content that mentions perks customers get for buying (for example, free shipping, sale pricing, free gift wrapping, etc.).
Learn more here.
Showcase similar products in your store
Similar products are an excellent way to cross-promote more of your products. To enable this option, you’ll want to edit your Online Store page:
Once enabled, you’ll need to publish your site in order to see the suggested items section:
Draw immediate attention to your promotions using the announcement pop-up add-on
This will help let customers know immediately what promotions you are running and can also guide them to specific areas of your store they may be likelier to buy (such as sale or clearance items).
To increase urgency, make sure to include a reason to buy now (for example, sale ends soon, limited time only, etc.) and an action button that directs users to the store products that are on sale.
Learn how to create a pop-up box here.
Create excitement with a countdown timer
This feature offers you a fun way to add a visually appealing countdown timer for new products, sales, events, etc.
Feature store categories in a compelling, visual way
Product images aren’t the only visual that needs to look great. Ensure your categories stand out.
There are a set of actions that must take place:
Create a sale category
Creating a category specifically for sales helps your customers easily find limited edition sales that you may be offering. You can create a category for items that are specifically on sale and then rearrange the order of that category so it shows up at the top of the list.
Our help center has more information on how to create and manage categories.
Enhance a category’s appeal with beautiful images
Add a beautiful image for each category as well as a description so that it stands out to consumers and is instantly recognizable when they are browsing through your store.
The category image that you select will display as a banner for your customers.
Showcase select featured categories throughout your store
You can also feature select categories with beautiful imagery throughout your store. Go to the GoDaddy E-store editor, select Add a section and then choose Featured Categories.
By selecting add an image, you can also specify where the image links to and point to a specific category.
Create and showcase categories that help consumers narrow down what to buy
Guide customers on what products they should be looking at if they’re not sure where to start.
Consider creating “new arrivals,” “best sellers,” and any “limited availability” categories at the top of the category list to immediately draw in consumers.
Having too many categories can distract customers.
Focus on creating distinct groups of products and a narrowed down list of categories so customers aren’t bogged down with too many details and have trouble finding or understanding what they’re looking for.
if you’re interested in seeing these features in Websites + Marketing in action, check out our demo site.
Showcase product reviews
This is an important part of the entire sales process, Your target customer will feel confident in their purchase decisions if they know others have purchased products from you and gave that purchase a thumbs up.
Enable product reviews
For each of the products you sell, allow customers to provide a review that’s visible to other potential consumers. This is an excellent way to communicate your company’s social media standing.
You can find more information on how to do this here.
Showcase customer testimonials
While product reviews allow your customers to rate your products specifically, you also have the option to add a more general testimonials section as well.
Adding a testimonials section in addition to your product reviews allows you to drive home what customers think about your store and your customer service.
You can view the steps on how to add testimonials to your site here.
Showcase your Facebook and Instagram presence on your store
You can highlight your social presence for added legitimacy as well as a broader connection to your customers. Learn how to enable links to your social presence — as well as any reviews you’ve received on social media — here.
If you are on Instagram, you can also connect your Instagram feed to your E-store. Learn more here.
2. Boost sales and capture more customers
Once customers have found a product they’re interested in, here are a few tips to increase the likelihood they’ll purchase it which will eventually get the sale of your product to increase
Provide a sales price for each product
Entering a sale price for your product will show both the original and sales pricing. You can do this by going into Store > Products > Add/Edit Product > and filing in the Sales Price field.
Offer free shipping, local pickup or delivery
Offer customers an extra nudge to purchase by providing free shipping and showcasing it on your store, this is a very important tip to boost sales. This is also a great way to prevent users from abandoning their shopping cart if they are surprised by the cost of shipping.
To offer free shipping on select products, go to Shipping under your product details page, and select the option for This item always ships free. It will display a free shipping badge on your store.
You can also offer site-wide free shipping. To learn more about how to do this, visit our help guide.
If your customers are local to the area, it’s becoming more common to offer local pickup and/or delivery, especially in response to the ongoing pandemic.
You can add local pickup and delivery options by going to the shipping options page.
Offer free returns
Give your customers peace of mind with free returns. This option allows sellers to offer free returns on any or all of their products. This will increase the trust which in return will increase sales. The free returns option can be found on each product detail. You can find the products list under Commerce > Products.
Abandoned cart recovery
Another route to increase sales and to capture more customers would be to leverage the abandoned cart feature offered in the GoDaddy E-store. This feature reminds customers that they’ve left items in their cart via email.
To enable this feature, see the help guide here.
Recognize gifts and offer gift wrapping
Many purchases are meant to be gifts. Allow your customers to specify this in the check-out so you can prepare the order appropriately.
Offering gift wrapping will lower the cost on your customers which will translate into increased sales on your store.
To enable this, go to your Store Settings and under General, select Check-out, and then select Allow customers to include special instructions during check-out.
You can ask your customers to provide the recipient’s name, as well as describe what you’ll do if the order is a gift (e.g. include a gift note so we can place this in the package).
Also, as a way to stand out from competitors, you can also offer free gift wrapping. You can provide this for all products and specify this in the check-out instructions mentioned above.
Or if you’d like to enable this for only specific products, you can include gift-wrapping as an add-on for each product.
Offer gift cards
Gift cards offer a perfect gift option for any customers that may be looking for quick and easy gift options. Adding such an option will relieve customers from searching for the perfect gift and will help boost sales of the store.
Highlight your limited-edition items
If your business tends to offer seasonal or limited-edition items, you can showcase those products through the new limited-edition option. Showcase those products through the new limited-edition option. You can find this option in the Inventory section for each of your products:
A limited edition will subconsciously send a message of urgency to purchase the product which will eventually contribute to boosting sales of the store.
Keep in mind that you’ll need to publish your site after enabling this option the first time. Here’s how it’ll appear on the live site:
Use Smart Ribbons to make your sales stand out
With the Smart Ribbons feature, you’re able to highlight the desired products with Bestseller and New Product tags.
To use these Smart Ribbons, you will need to ensure that you’ve selected the desired tags on any qualifying products.
Note: Keep in mind that you can only display one ribbon per product, and the On Sale category takes top priority, then Bestseller, and then New Product.
Create and share coupons
Coupons are another great way to incentivize users to buy now which boosts sales of the store. Learn more about how to create coupons.
To showcase the coupon, you can also highlight it in the promotional banner on your site.
Add an email subscription form coupled with a coupon incentive
A newsletter is a great way to connect with your consumers and provide them email promotions on new products, on-going sales, and any new worth noting. GoDaddy’s E-store makes it easy to add new subscribers to your company newsletter.

There are a great many experiments in chocolate that use salt to enhance the flavor. We've covered many tasty salted treats in the past, but there is certainly more to be said on the topic. Often salt enters into a chocolate alongside an ingredient like caramel or nuts. Salt has a very strong flavor, and, as such, combinations help to dial back the sharp bite that salt can have. A careless chocolatier could very easily overpower the flavor of the chocolate with salt, and leave very little for the discerning palette.
Salt, in just the right proportion, can reveal the depths of flavor within a cacao bean, and when you layer the salt into the flavor profile with a secondary taste, you can create some really special chocolate. One wouldn't expect it, but in this case, the potato chip provides just the right ratio and creates the perfect salted chocolates.
Keep in mind, not every potato chip is created equal, and only certain types are good for chocolate. Thick cut, overly crisp, oily potato chips are a sure way to spoil a chocolate experience. Talented chocolatiers select the right combination of textures and flavors to ensure the chocolate and chips work together as a whole.
Chuao Potato Chip Bar
One of my favorite chocolate companies, Chuao has done excellent work in crafting a Potato Chip Bar. They use an especially rich milk chocolate, a 51% cacao, mild enough to blend the tastes in the bar, but dark enough for the salt to play off the richness within the cocoa bean itself. It is both complex and accessible. The potato chips they use are kettle cooked, with a touch of caramelized sweetness built in. The chips are dry, crisp, and flaky, creating a texture like a gossamer toffee. The thin pieces of potato crack and fall apart against the moisture on your tongue, releasing their flavors without disturbing the smooth texture of the chocolate.
Neuchatel Swiss Chips
Chef Albert Lauber is a fifth generation Swiss Chef, and he leads the way for Neuchatel's various chocolate lines, they specialize in gourmet chocolate snacks: chocolate covered animal crackers, chocolate covered pretzels, and most recently, the chocolate covered potato chip. The "Swiss Chips" are enrobed in a silky smooth milk chocolate. With a Swiss Chocolatier, a major emphasis is put towards a high quality creamy taste. Lauber uses chips that are light, fluffy, and that crumble quickly in a chocolate mixture of salted sweetness. The potato chips are puff cooked, and match the chocolate perfectly for texture. The extra nutty, buttery flavor the chip adds has a way to distinguish the chocolate and give it strength over and beyond what a sea salt or almond would.
When you're considering a summer picnic snack, or an unusual addition to a dinner party, think potato and chocolate. It may raise an eyebrow or two, but the combination is sure to delight. This humble tuber deserves a space alongside every other artisanal ingredient in a chocolatier's pantry. | <urn:uuid:36bc2fec-1e26-4106-b067-a4980583d23e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.gourmetboutique.net/blogs/tasting-room/17250011-potato-cacao-and-something-very-new | 2024-04-16T04:47:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817043.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20240416031446-20240416061446-00767.warc.gz | en | 0.929139 | 626 |
What Will Customer Service Look Like in a Clinton or Trump Administration?
The key is knowing what drives satisfaction.
Amid the reality-TV-style coverage of this year’s presidential election, it’s easy to forget that, at the end of these campaigns, Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump will have a government to run. That includes making sure citizens get the service they deserve from federal agencies. In 2011, President Obama issued an executive order aimed at improving the customer experience, but there is still important work to do.
Despite concerted efforts since the mid-1990s to measure and improve citizen satisfaction with federal agencies, they continue to lag behind most private sector companies in customer service. Unfortunately, the government’s current effort to evaluate the customer experience is a patchwork of programs—some are thoughtful, comprehensive and include data-driven takeaways on how to improve, while others fall short.
Although dealing with the government is different than dealing with commercial companies, consumers of government products and services compare their experiences with the public sector to the private sector. Measuring and comparing key factors—such as wait time, problem resolution, courtesy of staff, and online servicing—across both sectors offer critical benchmarks that can guide improvement efforts.
Whoever takes the oath of office as the 45th president on Jan. 20, 2017, will face the critical challenge of restoring faith in government, one citizen interaction at a time. So, what would the government customer experience be like under the leadership of Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump?
Clinton’s campaign has issued a statement broadly outlining her plans for the 25 agencies with the most citizen-facing services:
“Hillary will charge the [U.S. Digital Service] with transforming and digitizing the top 25 federal government services that directly serve citizens. For each one, the USDS would redesign them to meet the needs of citizens in the 21st century; publish detailed performance and customer service metrics, including creating a ‘Yelp for government’ that allows for easy citizen rating; and embrace the industry best practice of continuous site improvement. Hillary will make sure that government delivers on results for citizens.”
Trump’s campaign staff has not issued a similar statement, but assuming he applies the principles of customer service from his hotel operations to the federal government, we would expect to see an emphasis on providing a superior constituent experience. Although the data for the Trump Hotel Collection in the J.D. Power 2016 North America Hotel Guest Satisfaction Index Study is limited, there is enough to show that guests in these hotels enjoy an excellent experience—among the top in the industry, with an index score of 891 out of 1,000, versus an average of 869 in the luxury hotel segment. Trump hotels are particularly strong in delivering an outstanding hotel services experience, with a score of 901, versus an average of 874 in the luxury segment.
Of course, maintaining a high level of customer satisfaction at a luxury hotel is different than doing so in the federal government. Similarly, while a government version of Yelp is a good idea, much more is needed to help ensure citizens’ customer journeys are positive ones.
Here’s some advice on where to begin:
- Add context and texture to survey data. Amtrak has done a great job mapping the customer journey to help frame future customer experience work, and the Defense Department’s Federal Voting Assistance Program has done some innovative ethnographic work to better understand the challenges voters overseas have with the election process.
- Focus on the customer point of view, not agency needs. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ Five-Star Quality Ratings, for example, are helpful in obtaining insights into population health, but they are of little use when it comes to helping payers or providers make meaningful improvements in the patient experience.
- Don’t just measure satisfaction; focus on what can be done to increase satisfaction. At the Veterans Affairs Department, customer satisfaction with Board of Veterans Appeals call centers has improved during the past five years because the tracking studies for those programs are designed with continuous improvement in mind—i.e., when a program enhancement is enacted, its effectiveness is measured and tracked. The Veterans Affairs Consolidated Mail Outpatient Pharmacy scores among the highest levels of customer service, in part because it leverages an index model to better understand the drivers of satisfaction. An index provides a means of identifying the weighting characteristics of an agency’s products and services in terms of their impact on overall satisfaction. Because the index is based on a larger, multi-attribute sample of ratings, greater precision is attained for discriminating satisfaction levels.
- Leverage the best practices industry has to offer. Benchmarks that rely on small sample sizes or a few questions do a disservice when it comes to accurately reflecting the customer experience. But it’s fine to have a few core questions across all agencies—something is better than nothing. Align scales and questions to allow for benchmarking across agencies, but also allow companies to incorporate such data into their studies so results can be compared with the private sector as well.
While many pundits focus on the perceived deficiencies of each candidate, we should recognize that both will almost assuredly work to improve constituents’ satisfaction with government services—though they likely will have distinctly different approaches. But improving satisfaction through a thoughtful mix of qualitative and quantitative methods, governmental and nongovernmental benchmarks, and the expectation of better outcomes will be key to ensuring that constituents get the services they deserve.

Trauma can be challenging to heal, but there are tools and methods of healing that you can use. At Grace Counseling, we utilize play therapy techniques to help our clients navigate these challenging experiences and find a path toward healing. Play therapy techniques can assist patients in processing traumatic experiences in a safe and secure environment. Through the use of play, people can express their feelings, fears, and trauma in ways that allow them to explore different coping strategies. Exploring emotions and communicating through play activities can lead to a greater understanding of the trauma and how to manage it effectively.
What Is Play Therapy?
Play therapy is a means of helping patients process their emotions and experiences through the use of play. It involves a combination of activities such as art, music, movement, role-playing, and toys to help people express themselves more effectively. The techniques used in play therapy allow patients to explore their feelings in safe and non-threatening ways.
Exploring Emotions and Communicating Through Play Activities
Play therapy is based on the belief that play provides a safe and secure environment for people to explore their emotions and experiences. Through the use of toys, art, music, role-playing, and other activities, patients can begin to process their trauma in a way that allows them to find healing. By exploring different coping strategies and expressing their emotions in a safe space, patients can begin to recover from traumatic experiences.
They learn to:
- Express emotions in a healthy and safe manner
- Build self-awareness
- Increase self-esteem and confidence
- Practice problem-solving skills
- Develop better communication skills
- Foster positive relationships with others
- Feel understood and supported by an empathetic adult
At Grace Counseling, our experienced and compassionate therapists use play therapy techniques to help clients find healing and peace. We work with each client on an individual basis to create a personalized treatment plan that best meets their needs. Emotional development through play activities can help a person heal from their trauma.
Play Therapy Activities for Trauma
Here are seven play therapy techniques that have proven effective in addressing trauma.
Sand Tray Therapy
This technique involves creating a miniature world using sand and small objects, allowing individuals to express their feelings and experiences symbolically. It provides a safe space for adults to access and process painful memories.
Art therapy allows individuals to explore and express their emotions through creative mediums such as drawing, painting, or sculpting. Creating art can help adults externalize their traumatic experiences, making them easier to understand and discuss.
This form of therapy uses role-play, storytelling, and improvisation. By acting out different scenarios, adults can gain new perspectives on their trauma and explore alternative ways of reacting to stressful situations.
Music therapy uses the power of rhythm and melody to facilitate emotional expression and healing. Whether it’s through playing an instrument, singing, or simply listening to music, this therapy can evoke emotions and promote relaxation.
While puppet play is often associated with children, it can also be beneficial for adults. Using puppets to represent themselves or others involved in their traumatic experiences, adults can safely explore their feelings and experiment with different outcomes.
In therapeutic storytelling, adults are encouraged to tell or write stories related to their trauma. This can help them gain control over their narrative and foster a deeper understanding of their experiences.
Working with animals like horses or dogs can provide comfort and promote a sense of calm. Animals offer non-judgmental companionship, which can aid in reducing stress and anxiety associated with trauma.
At Grace Counseling, we believe in the transformative power of play therapy activities for trauma. Our trained therapists are skilled in facilitating these techniques, providing a supportive environment where adults can explore their emotions and communicate their experiences through play activities.
Play therapy is not only about revisiting traumatic experiences but also about fostering resilience and empowerment. Through these techniques, we aim to help our clients develop healthier coping mechanisms, improve their self-esteem, and enhance their overall emotional development.

1 hour / 30 min
For the dough
500 g of 100% Italian Wheat Semolina
5 eggs (better if organic)
For the filling
1 kg of potatoes
70 g of Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Extra virgin olive oil
30 g of Parmesan cheese
Start with the tortelli dough: in a bowl mix the flour with the eggs and a pinch of salt, kneading well until a smooth and elastic mixture is obtained. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for about 20 minutes, at room temperature.
Meanwhile, focus on the filling of the tortelli: take some potatoes, peel them, cut them up and then cook them in plenty of salted water.
Then go and dice some clean onion and let it wilt slowly in a small frying pan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, until lightly browned.
When the potatoes are cooked, mash them with a potato masher and place them in a bowl along with the onion, the egg and 70 grams of Parmesan cheese. Mix everything well, adjusting the salt and pepper.
After the resting time has elapsed, take the egg pasta and roll it out on a floured work surface. Roll out the dough to make a thin sheet and, at this point, place many small mounds of filling all over the surface, taking care to keep them slightly apart.
Now fold the pastry over itself and seal the edges well to prevent air bubbles from forming, pressing firmly with your fingers around the balls of filling.
With the help of a notched wheel, cut the tortelli and boil them in plenty of salted water.
When they are cooked, drain them, dress them with butter melted in a bain-marie and serve them with plenty of Parmigiano Reggiano.

World Exclusive: Singapore Grants Food Processing License To Esco Aster For Cell-Based Cultivated Meat Manufacturing
5 Mins Read
Singapore has yet again earned a ‘world first’ badge in the global cultivated protein industry, this time granting Esco Aster a license to manufacture cultured animal cells meat for commercial sale. The Singapore Food Agency (SFA) gave its approval to the manufacturer in July, positioning the city-state as a firm world and regional leader in sustainable protein supply chains. The cells must undergo SFA’s safety assessment reviews.
Announced today (September 15), Singapore contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO) Esco Aster has received approval from the SFA to manufacture cultured meat. The approval was granted on July 28 for the firm’s AsterMavors platform to cultivate meat in bioreactors, directly from animal cells after undergoing SFA safety assessment reviews.
World’s first cell-based meat manufacturing approved
The go-ahead from the Singapore authorities marks yet again another first for the city-state, which famously became the world’s first and still the only country to have approved the commercial sale of cultured meat. In December 2020, San Francisco-based food tech Eat Just was allowed to sell its cell-based chicken on the market for the first time.
Esco Aster now becomes the world’s first company to gain commercial regulatory approval for a cultivated meat manufacturing platform. It has been manufacturing and distributing bioreactors commercially for the past decade to clients in various sectors including cell-based meat, bioprocessing, stem cell and life sciences companies.
SFA has now granted Esco Aster the license to operate a food establishment through contract manufacturing of cultivated animal cells. This means that companies will be able to use Esco Aster’s food-approved facility to manufacture their cell-based products for commercial market launch.
Commenting on the news, Esco Aster CEO Xiangliang Lin said: “As a local Singapore-born company with deep roots here since 1978, Esco is proud to be the first CDMO company globally to be approved.”
The AsterMavors platform is an end-to-end service that provides everything from cell line creation to the development of a cell bank and cell media ingredients. It also boasts in-process monitoring and quality control features, to ensure the final cell-based meat product is safe for human food consumption.
Having now been given the regulatory go-ahead by the SFA, Esco Aster says that it will now be ramping up its facilities. It is now undergoing accreditation for ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000 as well, with the view to be able to export its cultivated animal cells globally.
“We are further expanding our facilities to a target of 50,000L as well as scaling up final food product manufacturing especially for hybrid products,” said Lin.
Hybrid products are alternative proteins that contain both cell-based and plant-based ingredients, with startups such as New Age Meats and Higher Steaks, for example, incorporating both to make its sausages and pork belly prototypes.
By offering its platform to other food techs and startups, Esco Aster says that companies can get their cell-based products to market faster, without having to invest in pilot plants. The move can also help the city attract foreign talent—further propelling Singapore as a global leader in the cultivated protein space.
Singapore: a global cell-based protein hub
GFI Asia Pacific (GFI APAC), the region’s nonprofit dedicated to supporting the alternative protein ecosystem, says the news solidifies Singapore’s leadership in the industry and its reputation as a friendly hub for players innovating sustainable protein solutions.
Mirte Gosker, Acting Managing Director of The Good Food Institute Asia Pacific, adds that this milestone is the latest sign that the cultivated meat sector is maturing.
“Rapidly scaling up cultivated meat from the proof-of-concept phase to industrial production requires buy-in from existing food and biotech industry leaders. Esco Aster’s green-lit facility brings humanity closer to a brighter future where we can continue to enjoy the foods we love, while also mitigating the risks of increased climate disruption and threats of viral outbreaks. After taking its first baby steps, this regulatory milestone proves that the cultivated meat industry is standing up and ready to run.”
Since approving Eat Just’s cultured chicken last year, the SFA has made a number of moves to support the cell-based industry, in line with its ‘30 by 30’ vision to boost food security, including the construction of the FRESH platform to accelerate food safety research and expedite regulations.

December 3 is the feast day of St. Francis Xavier.
Born on April 7, 1506, Francis grew up in war-torn Navarre, Spain. When he was old enough, he left to study at the University of Paris. There, he met Ignatius of Loyola and joined his gathering of men who became the first Jesuits.
On June 24, 1537, Francis was ordained a priest in the new religious community and soon left for a missionary trip to India. There, he tended to the sick and poor. Then, he began helping people who were baptized but knew little about their faith. In just three years, Francis built some 40 churches in this region.
Following India, Francis traveled to Malaysia, Indonesia, and Japan, evangelizing people and caring for them. He made secret plans to travel to China, which was closed to foreigners, but fell ill before making the journey. He died on this date in 1552, after 11 years of missionary activity.
Francis was canonized in 1622 at the same ceremony as Ignatius of Loyola. St. Francis is the patron saint of those who spread the faith, missions, navigation, and many countries around the world.

If your child needs a school physical or a camp form completed, it is imperative that you as the parent complete all areas of the form indicated for “parent”. Please complete all parts that you can: name, address, birthday, etc. There will likely be questions about medical history and medications that you must complete. The doctor’s signature attests to the parent’s answers, so the answers must be there!
Also, you can fax, email, mail or hand carry forms into our office. We can mail or fax your child’s forms to school or camp if you provide a signed medical records release form (click “forms” from our home page). Due to HIPAA regulations, without that records release, we can only return the forms to you, not a school or camp.
