There is very good reason why Dunlop Sport Maxx has taken the tyre supply high ground in local circuit motor racing. Dunlop supplies tyres and supporting competitors in the country’s top national circuit racing formulae, Global Touring Cars, SupaCup and CompCare Polo Cup, the Gazoo Toyota GR Yaris Cup, as well as in several leading regional classes, through its motorsport partners ATS.
“Motorsport improves the breed,” Dunlop’s Sumitomo Rubber SA CEO Lubin Ozoux explains. “That is why Dunlop Sport Maxx will keep on building on our commitment to South African motor racing.
“We recently launched our market leading Dunlop Sport Maxx 060+ road tyre around the Killarney Extreme Racing Festival and there’s very good reason for that. “That is also why we’re consolidating our local racing efforts under the Dunlop Sport Maxx brand in South Africa.
Dunlop’s latest flagship ultra-high performance Sport Maxx 060+ road tyre delivers ultimate performance and longevity as it takes legendary Sport Maxx handling, steering response, stability, and grip next level.
Featuring an asymmetric, wide centre groove pattern that delivers even better dry and wet performance, Sport Maxx 060+ also brings a unique double-edged sword in 40% improved tyre life thanks to its new tread compound. It delivers a more dynamic, durable, higher mileage tyre together with much improved tyre performance.
“Our performance tyre customers want enhanced precision, response, and traction,” Ozoux points out. “Sport Maxx 060+ delivers all this and much more, backed by the same Japanese technology, craftmanship and innovation that Dunlop Tyres are already famous for.
“Dunlop tyre designers in Kobe worked hard to benchmark our new 060+ range against the best in the world. “We expect that the technology and features that we build into our new flagship performance tyres, will see Sport Maxx take the top end of the market by storm.
“So, we know how good our Dunlop Sport Maxx 060+ tyre is. “But there’s no better way to demonstrate Dunlop’s superiority as a performance engineered tyre brand beyond any doubt, than on the racetrack,” Lubin Ozoux concludes.
“When we win on track, everyone wins. “That is why South African motor racing will remain a cornerstone in demonstrating Dunlop’s Sport Maxx advantages.” | <urn:uuid:8c425521-1a5d-4092-821f-ebfd0e27f3a0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://abrbuzz.co.za/motorsport/19838-theres-good-reason-why-dunlop-backs-sa-racing | 2024-04-17T10:04:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.923166 | 547 |

Benefits from mentoring
New ideas, wellbeing at work, connecting to a multidisciplinary research community. The refreshing effect of academic mentoring is evident not only in individuals but also in one’s work community and academic networks.
Text katja alaja images istock english translation marko saajanaho
Mentoring, that’s what I need!
So thought senior university lecturer Lasse Heikkinen upon noticing an ad for a regional mentoring programme organised by the University of Eastern Finland and the Karelia and Savonia Universities of Applied Sciences. He had “jumped” into a deputy position at UEF and discovered he needed help to develop as a leader.
“To me, it comes naturally to look for something to spark thoughts in the brain and find sparring help instead of ready-made answers. I wanted to jump out of my comfort zone with my mentor from a different field”, says Heikkinen, who is active at UEF’s Department of Technical Physics.
In this programme, the actor gets to choose their mentor, the selection of whom included people from outside the university. Heikkinen settled on a personnel developer specialising in coaching leaders.
The pair immediately found the right chemistry, which is important. Mentoring is, after all, a confidential relationship based on interaction, a form of peer support intended to support professional development. The mentor supports the actor’s goals and needs by sharing supportive experiences, perspectives, networks, and peer support and asking questions. The mentor is often more experienced than the actor. Group mentoring can include more than one mentor and actor each. The length of a mentorship and the interval of meetings can vary significantly.
Improved working capacity feeds wellbeing at work
What was Heikkinen challenged on by his mentor?
Through our discussions, I noticed I can involve our staff more – to give experts more attention and delegate more tasks to them. I began to improve at coaching leadership”, Heikkinen says.
Within the department, this change has also materialised as improved wellbeing at work. Heikkinen feels the atmosphere is better now, with a real sense of teamwork.
“When a person grows professionally and gets the opportunity to use their potential, they feel better at work”, Pietarinen says.”
Virva Pietarinen, Human Resources Specialist, UEF
Human Resources Specialist Virva Pietarinen from UEF nods – mentoring supports wellbeing at work. This is the result of the common goals of this mentoring programme for the whole staff being met – the development of one’s own expertise and the strengthening of networks.
“When a person grows professionally and gets the opportunity to use their potential, they feel better at work”, Pietarinen says.
HR Coordinator Saara Minkkinen from the University of Jyväskylä refers to working capacity as one source of wellbeing at work. Wellbeing improves when the worker feels they are capable and skilled at their job. Mentorship can reinforce this feeling.
Another major contributing factor to wellbeing at work is the working environment, such as the work community, working conditions, and leadership. Heikkinen has influenced these by changing his behaviour, creating wellbeing for a larger group of people.
Mentoring is part of the official career development model
Career and work-related matters can also be pondered in the University of Jyväskylä’s ongoing mentoring programme, intended for researchers on the tenure track. It supports the development of the scientific community from the researcher’s standpoint.
Minkkinen tells us the goal is to develop an easily implementable mentoring model for the university’s entire research and teaching staff. The idea is to always make mentoring accessible. In practice, the faculties and departments will support those interested.
At the Aalto University, mentoring has been an official part of new assistant professors’ career development since 2021. Mentoring begins after an orientation period, with experienced Aalto professors working as mentors.
“They have experienced many things, including challenges, in their careers and can offer perspective on matters from university integration to research network management”, says Head of People and Organization Development Carita Pihlman from the Aalto University.
Mentoring also open to all
In a mentoring programme jointly organised by FUURT and Suomen Mentorit, the focus is on polishing up one’s own career. The initiative for a fully open programme came from members.
“People in academia are in a variety of situations and do not necessarily meet the qualifications of mentoring programs. Someone might be unemployed, or a grant-funded researcher does not have an employment contract”, FUURT’s Miia Ijäs-Idrobo explains.
This mentoring programme, like many others, includes group meetings in addition to one-on-one meetings. These meetings gather the mentors and actors around the same table, allowing for broadening one’s horizons even further. Ijäs-Idrobo thinks younger researchers in particular benefit from hearing practical human stories from various jobs researchers have had in their careers.
”It is important for all researchers to become part of the research community, not just in their own field but also in a more interdisciplinary manner.”
Eeva Harjula, JYU. Well, the University of Jyväskylä
The international aspect can also be seen in mentoring. Eeva Harjula from JYU.Well, the University of Jyväskylä’s wellbeing research community tells us about their upcoming group mentoring, which is intended for people choosing a research career. Both Finnish and international experts attend these small, peer-based, interdisciplinary groups.
“It is important for all researchers to become part of the research community, not just in their own field but also in a more interdisciplinary manner”, Harjula stresses.
Peer support is emphasised in group mentoring
Every assistant professor on the tenure track at the Aalto University receives career support through individual mentoring. In addition, as requested by women, assistant professor group mentoring exclusively for women is available.
“Aalto recognises the fact a very small minority of professors are female, so us getting special support is great”, says Assistant Professor Paula Koskinen Sandberg from the Department of Management Studies. She was part of a mentoring group headed by Professor of Management Nina Granqvist, consisting of four assistant professors from different disciplines – business, science, engineering, and art.
Koskinen Sandberg tells us matters related to the career model such as time management, building a research team, and seeking research funding became the topics of conversation.
“Along with the positive things, the career model can also be intimidating, so talking to others helped eased my mind”, Koskinen Sandberg says.
Granqvist finds it important to have been there to support the next generation of researchers. She made sure everyone got to speak and the atmosphere remained safe and confidential. “The benefit of a group is having different views and seeing that others have similar questions. As a mentor, I got plenty of university-level understanding about our activity.” | <urn:uuid:ba7fb403-cbfc-42e4-a99e-eced8c31e63c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://acatiimi.fi/2023/09/21/benefits-from-mentoring/ | 2024-04-17T08:23:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.951394 | 1,548 |
You may be surprised to know that some professional actors and performers suffer from stage fright. Many people who have to perform in public such as actors, musicians, singers, comedians, politicians, managers, chairmen, managing directors, coaches, etc., suffer from anxiety at the very thought of having to stand in front of an audience and speak or act, or be the centre of attention.
If you suffer from stage fright, performance anxiety or a fear of speaking in front of an audience, hypnotherapy can successfully help you to overcome your problem.
Typical Stage Fright Scenarios
- Best Man’s speech at a wedding
- Acting on a big stage in front of a bigger than usual audience
- An important interview for a desireable job or a promotion opportunity
- Chairing a meeting of work colleagues
- Making political speeches
- Making a presentation to prospective clients
Stage Fright Symptoms
Typical symptoms of stage fright are
- Feeling tense
- Afraid of making a fool of yourself
- Fear of things going wrong / expecting the worst
- Dizziness or fainting
- Dry mouth
- Excessive sweating
- Rapid heartbeat
- Trembling voice / losing control of your vocal chords
Effective Treatment With Hypnotherapy
You can overcome your self doubts and insecurities with the help of hypnotherapy. Imagine if you could actually enjoy your performance instead of dreading it. By removing negative emotions and associations that have previously been associated with your public performance, hypnotherapy can help you to remain calm throughout your performance and regain the sort of control that you have always dreamed of.

Coconut Key Lime Panna Cotta
Last year, I had trouble finding key limes. They were either short in supply or my grocery store just sucked at carrying them so I had to settle for key lime juice. I was eager to get my hands on some fresh key limes this year so I can make everything key lime!! I did not go as crazy as the meyer lemons a few weeks ago but I did get two bags and the first thing I made was this coconut key lime panna cotta. Are you surprised coconut was my first flavor combo? You know me better than that 🙂 But I do have a classic key lime pie on the way for you.
Panna cotta is one of those desserts that I think is very under-appreciated. It is such a delicious concoction that is extremely easy to whip up and should be used as an arsenal in one’s goodie bag. Have guests coming over for dinner? Want to impress the in-laws without a lot of work? Or just have a sweet craving? Panna cotta is the answer!!
I think it was Lindsay who recently called it adult jell-o and I totally agree with her. It’s a silky, smooth, custard with an endless possibilities of flavor combinations. This coconut key lime panna cotta is a tropical delight and just perfect for Spring. A sweet creamy coconut custard is mixed with tart citrus and topped with a key lime mousse that is light in itself to be a stand alone dessert.
So if you are looking for something special, different and just easy to make this Spring, this panna cotta is for you!
Excuse while I enjoy my fresh key lime haul!!

- In a small bowl, whisk eggs yolks, egg and remaining sugar until pale and thick, about 2 minutes. While whisking constantly, slowly pour the hot key lime mixture into the egg mixture. Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly. Keep whisking until curd thickens and whisk leaves a trail, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the remaining butter until melted completely. Transfer curd to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly onto surface, Chill until completely cool, at least 2 hours.
- When ready to serve panna cotta, whisk heavy cream in a small bowl until soft peaks forms. Fold whipped cream into key lime curd until completely combined. Spoon the mousse over the chilled panna cotta.

In doing so, the company is implicitly conceding that students are less inclined to flip through Blackboard pages to kill a few spare minutes. “This is specifically to take advantage of the fact that college students spend a tremendous amount of time on Facebook,†said Karen Gage, Blackboard’s vice president of product strategy. “I think that what we know is that socializing with your friends is more fun than studying.â€
“Let’s face it,†the app’s introduction page says. “You would live on Facebook if you could. Imagine a world where you could manage your entire life from Facebook — it’s not that far off!â€
Oh, I can’t wait. Why would I ever want to leave Facebook for even one minute?
“You have to access a different system to get your course information and you don’t always know when something new has been posted or assigned, so it’s difficult for you to stay on top of your studies.” (Only if your face is so constantly stuck in Facebook that you don’t have a life.) “We get it. That’s why Blackboard is offering Blackboard Syncâ„¢, an application that delivers course information and updates from Blackboard to you inside Facebook.â€
Okay, maybe that actually sounds kind of helpful, being able to push readings and assignments to a place where students can be reminded of them. But I was mostly struck by one of the comments on the article: “This is creepy treehouse.”
A creepy treehouse is a place built by scheming adults to lure in kids. Kids tend to sense there’s something creepy about that treehouse and avoid it. Hence, a new definition: “Any institutionally-created, operated, or controlled environment in which participants are lured in either by mimicking pre-existing open or naturally formed environments, or by force, through a system of punishments or rewards.”
It’s an interesting take on that vaguely unsettled response we sometimes get from students when we try to be too cool, try too hard to seem fun and playful, when we make familiar toys unpalatably “educational.” Setting up an outpost in an attractive playspace with an ulterior motive is just . . . creepy.
And maybe students want a different space when they’re working. On our campus students come to the library to study. They like being surrounded by books, they like the sense that this place is different than their dorm room. Sure, they goof off and check their Facebook profile and sometimes catch a few z’s. But when they’re working, they enjoy being in a place that dignifies their work, and they like the ambiance of seriousness, one that connects their work with a larger purpose. They’re writing about ideas in space filled with words and ideas, and they become connected. It’s a very different kind of social network, one where they become part of an age-old conversation.
This is not to say this academic conversation is not playful – we learn by playing, and at its best, our learning is play. Philosopher Michael Oakeshott said it well in his essay, “The Voice of Poetry in the Conversation of Mankind.”
In its participation in the conversation each voice learns to be playful, learns to understand itself as a voice among voices. As with children, who are great conversationalists, the playfulness is serious and the seriousness in the end is only play.
Maybe the library itself is a place for that form of play, once students get clued into the fact they can join the conversation. Then we won’t have to build a creepy treehouse to entice them in.

Dudley Fereday (1789?-1849), sheriff and moneylender, was the son of Samuel Fereday of Ettingshall Park, Staffordshire, England, a common collier whose great knowledge of mining won him a large fortune; he fell into misfortunes and died an uncertified bankrupt in France.
At 22 Fereday became a gentleman commoner at Magdalen College, Oxford, and was given an M.A. in 1814. Through Lord Hatherton he received a colonial appointment in Sierra Leone whence he returned in 1820 to England in ill health and on full pay. Through the same patron he was appointed sheriff of Van Diemen's Land in February 1824, and at his request his full salary of £800 was paid for a year before his arrival in Hobart Town in the Phoenix in January 1825. In official eyes he performed his duties satisfactorily, although his unusual control of the revenues of his office had to be reduced in 1828. As sheriff he risked constant unpopularity. In May 1825 he refused to convene a public meeting that aimed at exposing local grievances and six years later when he did allow a gathering to draft a petition to the King, he objected to the resolutions and refused his signature. He disregarded public opinion and sedulously wooed the favour of his betters, although with little success. In 1828 he applied for leave, proposing to share his salary with his deputy. His application was not recommended by Lieutenant-Governor (Sir) George Arthur who doubted his intention to return, and it was rejected by the Colonial Office. Next year Fereday complained to his Staffordshire friends of social neglect and personal slights by Arthur and Judge (Sir) John Pedder and begged to have his shrievalty removed to another colony. This private letter was sent to the Colonial Office, and thence to Hobart. In 1830 the annoyance of governor and chief justice was soon increased when Fereday's private affairs were publicly exposed in a court case. Denounced for perjury by Roderic O'Connor, Fereday sued for £5000 damages. For five hours O'Connor's counsel, Joseph Tice Gellibrand, treated the jury to a detailed account of Fereday as the prince of usurers, lending money at 35 per cent interest, 'his bible … his bill book; his gold … his god'. Hobart was in ferment when Fereday won the case and damages of £400. Arthur, deeply shocked, exacted a promise from his protesting sheriff to eschew all 'mercantile transactions', but Fereday soon used it as a lever to have his leave recommended. He returned to England in 1833 on half pay. Next year he was appointed at a salary of £300 as a commissioner for compensating West Indian slave owners. Later he was recruited by William Bryan in a parliamentary attack on Arthur. He became a magistrate and died unmarried at Ettingshall Park, Staffordshire, on 22 September 1849, bequeathing £20,000 of his estate for four fellowships at Magdalen College, with first preference for his kin and second to natives of Staffordshire. This bequest was formally declined in 1853 and it passed to St John's College.

A big energy investing myth that crushed investors
By Eric Rosenbaum
When Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMI) made the decision to cut its dividend by 75 percent this week , it represented more than just a pain for investors in the pipeline company, and more than just another sign that the oil collapse continues to cause more casualties.
It went public in a private equity-backed IPO in 2011, then went on a buying spree that including the acquisition of El Paso for $38 billion, becoming one of the largest midstream — oil and gas pipeline — players in North America. In August 2014, all of its various entities were combined in a $70 billion transaction, a deal under which it abandoned the MLP structure, a decision that shocked some energy industry watchers, given how closely it was associated with the concept.
Assets under management in MLPs in 2007 were $100 billion; by 2014 that had quintupled to $500 billion.
But the stock plummets this year in MLPs — including a 60 percent dive for Kinder Morgan, which has brought its market cap down to $35 billion — culminated in Kinder Morgan’s dividend slashing and show that some of the arguments used to sell investors on MLPs were more myth than reality.
Even as oil prices collapsed, MLP backers said that the “toll road” economics of MLPs, which have long-term delivery contracts with exploration and production companies, would insulate them from pricing pressure. With the party now over, it’s left a wide wake of investors who went searching for high yields in the MLP space but are now sitting on year-to-date losses of 25 percent and up, and dividend cuts likely looming on the horizon.
“The pitch with these companies was that they are not susceptible to prices of energy, that they are ‘toll booths,’ pass-through businesses that don’t have to worry about oil prices going up and down or being volatile. They’re like bonds,” said Josh Brown, CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management, on CNBC on Wednesday. “They are not like bonds, and they are not toll booths. They are highly susceptible. The entire pitch is out the window,” Brown said.
Brown, who writes “The Reformed Broker” blog, said that energy MLPs are even more susceptible to something worse than oil prices: financial conditions. “They have a ton of debt and need to roll it constantly, and they cannot grow [shareholder] distributions and payouts unless they can continue to do that [access credit], and when that market closes off to them and commodities free fall, these can’t act like bonds,” Brown explained.
“By virtue of paying out a significant portion of cash flow each quarter, most MLPs are dependent on capital markets access to fund organic growth projects and acquisitions. If access to equity and debt financing is limited, then growth isas well, and valuations will come down,” said Maria Halmo, director of research at MLP research and index company Alerian.
Investors have chased energy MLPs because of the high-yields at a time of unprecedented low interest rates from the Federal Reserve, but Brown advised investors to learn the lesson that “you’re not getting 8 percent yield when Treasurys are 2 percent, unless you’re taking four times the amount of risk.”
By one industry account, 70 percent of MLP accounts are held by retail investors.
“There were some investors who bought the story too wholeheartedly,” said Nick Einhorn, vice president of Renaissance Capital, an IPO watchdog and manager of IPO-Focused ETFs.
One way in which investors accessed the high yields was through MLP ETFs.
- Alerian MLP ETF (NYSE Arca: AMLP): $6 billion
- JPMorgan Alerian MLP ETN (NYSE Arca: AMJ): $3 billion
- ETRACS Alerian MLP Infrastructure ETN (NYSE Arca: MLPI): $1.5 billion
- First Trust North American Energy Infrastructure ETF (NYSE Arca: EMLP): $828 million
- Barclays iPath S&P MLP (NYSE Arca: IMLP)ETN (NYSE Arca: IMLP): $300 million
- Credit Suisse Cushing 30 MLP ETN (NYSE Arca: CSCB): $400 million

“In typical investor fashion, there was a lot of yield-hungry money chasing the strong returns of MLPs,” said Peter Lazaroff, director of investment research at Plancorp. “Just as investors hurried into a high-flying asset class, many of those same investors are exiting in response to poor performance without an understanding of the underlying fundamentals that drive MLP returns and volatility,” he said.
Lazaroff said any investor who was surprised by MLPs’ susceptibility to volatility or the fact that they are equity-like investments and not some sort of bond replacement “were poorly informed.” He added that a great deal of the investing public, and unfortunately many financial advisors, never really understood the relevant mechanics of MLP investing.
MLP experts contend that the midstream is being unfairly punished for the woes at the level of the upstream — exploration and production — part of the oil and gas business. But others say that argument, while reflecting the fact that there are various levels of risk within MLP companies based on their position in the upstream to downstream chain, only goes so far in explaining the selloff.
“The days of the entire sector rising because people want yield are over,” Brown said on CNBC. “And lots of wealth management people are getting a huge wake-up call.”
Officials at ALPS, the distributor for the Alerian MLP, the largest MLP ETF, did not return calls for comment.
- Alerian MLP ETF (NYSE Arca: AMLP): -37 percent
- JPMorgan Alerian MLP ETN (NYSE Arca: AMJ): -45 percent
- ETRACS Alerian MLP Infrastructure ETN (NYSE Arca: MLPI): -45 percent
- First Trust North American Energy Infrastructure ETF (NYSE Arca: EMLP): -29 percent
- Barclays iPath S&P MLP (NYSE Arca: IMLP)ETN (NYSE Arca: IMLP): -44 percent
- Credit Suisse Cushing 30 MLP ETN (NYSE Arca: CSCB): -47 percent

It’s too late for investors who chased yield in the sector to get out unscathed, but professional investors and advisors are wondering whether now is the time to look for bargains in the MLP sector.
Kinder Morgan, after announcing its dividend cut, rebounded 7 percent on Wednesday. That may lead other pipeline companies to consider a move they never would have contemplated, since many investors bought their shares for the yield. But if dividends throughout the sector are slashed, that will mean more pain for MLP shares before any relief rally. And other, recent dividend cuts from MLPs did not lead to a relief rally, as in Kinder’s case.
“Kinder Morgan is cutting dividends preemptively in anticipation of the lower volume outlook, and other MLPs may follow suit,” wrote Tom Lydon, the editor and publisher of ETF Trends, in an email. “Given the uncertainty in the energy space and the prospects of dividend cuts, MLP ETFs may experience greater volatility, and dividend-minded investors who are typically more conservative in nature may find the added risk unappealing,” he said.
Einhorn said yields in the space can range from 6 percent to as much as 25 percent, and so investors should expect dividend cuts, and while they’ve been reluctant to look at lowering dividends, the companies need to keep their lenders satisfied or their credit limits might get cut.
“Investors have to be selective and do a lot of work. You can’t just say MLP X has a Y percent yield and looks fine,” Einhorn said. “They all have different risk profiles. It’s like junk bond investing. … Lots of money to be made if you can adequately assess risks, but for several years there was lots of money to be made if an investor just threw money at companies.”
Lazaroff said that the “toll road” economics story remains true for many MLPs that focus entirely on the midstream portion of the energy supply chain, but like all investments, valuation is key. “The MLP sector saw incredible multiple expansion as investors hurried into the asset class on the basis of high yield and strong past performance,” he said.
Lydon said if investors did not understand this before, they need to now: As so-called energy toll road operators, MLPs rely on volume of transported goods and are less sensitive to crude oil prices, but MLPs are not completely immune to falling prices.
“With crude oil at near seven-year lows, the industry is at risk of energy producers cutting back on production — an environment of persistently low oil prices would eventually lead to U.S. producers finding it too costly to keep pumping oil, which would mean MLPs would suffer from lower volumes transported,” Lydon said via email.
“I’ve never looked at MLPs for our fund before, but now I’m looking,” Stephen Weiss, chief investment officer and managing partner of Short Hills Capital Partners, told CNBC on Wednesday. “I don’t think I will buy until they do what Kinder did and I see how the market reacts.”
Brown didn’t disagree with the idea that there’s bound to be some opportunities, but he said that the phenomenon of long-lived contracts written years ago at a certain level of energy prices will roll off and there will be a huge difference in cash flows and coverage ratios for debt. He said companies will claim they have a guarantee that a customer has to take oil or pay instead, but those [contracts] roll off, too, and the E&Ps have holes in balance sheets.
Early December is also the peak of tax-loss selling season, and with an average return of -42 percent in oil and gas pipeline companies, MLPs make good tax-loss candidates. “At these levels, tax-loss selling, along with closed-end fund deleveraging (both impossible to quantify), can only add to downward pressure,” said Halmo.
As retail investors flee, institutional investors with patience may be willing to buy MLPs at current multiples, given the size of yields. “The MLP recovery will be dependent on a fundamental recovery in commodity prices. Investors who are adding to positions at these levels are doing so despite the lack of a near-term catalyst,” Halmo said.
But for many retail investors, “The defensive characteristics that these ETFs were supposed to provide, because they were toll roads, no longer holds true. These have not proved to be the safe stocks investors had expected them to be,” said Todd Rosenbluth, head of mutual fund and ETF research at S&P Capital IQ.
Lydon added that the rising-interest-rate environment could make riskier MLPs less appealing as an income-producing asset.
“An investment in MLPs remains an investment in the build-out of North American energy infrastructure over the next several decades,” Halmo said.
In the immediate future, according to Brown, “There’s lots of pain still to come.” | <urn:uuid:5d25baae-b1db-4925-b288-a9f706ad66f0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://adenforecast.com/a-big-energy-investing-myth-that-crushed-investors/ | 2024-04-17T09:58:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.96436 | 2,513 |

This residential project consisted of 19.5-acres of residentially zoned property in Lake Elsinore, California. The project site was bordered by vacant land to the north and south, by the current Lake Elsinore Motocross Park to the west, and by existing residential to the east. The location was easily accessible from Interstate 15 from the Diamond Drive/Railroad Canyon Road exit. When sold, utilities were available to the project boundary.

The name “Amy” was chosen because of the French word “Aimée” which translates to “loved” or “beloved”. As an Asian-American adoptee, my parents wanted to emphasize the idea of belonging and acceptance.
As I continually learn what unconditional love (for self and others) looks like, I want my name to reflect this even further. The word “Aimée” directly translates to “loved” as opposed to Amy. With this name, I am continually reminded to love myself and others. With this name, my identity is love.
Additionally, “Jade” became a nickname in middle school and has served as an additional “middle name” for years. This word alludes to Asian culture while still providing room for the intersectionality of my identity as Asian, American, and adoptee. This name allows for the ambivalence and distance I feel towards embodying a cultural identity at all, while not denying where I came from.
These two words capture who I am as a designer. I am someone who believes everyone deserves to be loved, seen, and heard. I am someone with a cultural identity that is nuanced, but still holds space. | <urn:uuid:9b851a1e-5e64-4123-ad48-983977ca193d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://aimeejade.com/Name-Change | 2024-04-17T08:49:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.962515 | 261 |
Ever since my visit to western Montana and getting to visit some working ranches, I’ve had daydreams of the cowboy life. Which American hasn’t at some point?? We grew up with cowboys. It’s easy to think of cowboys and the wild west life as something long gone, but there are still many ways to experience it. From working ranches to ghost towns, trail rides to cowboy museums, this wild west inspired travel bucket list printable will give you inspiration and ideas on how to experience that cowboy life–at least for a short while.
The Wild West was an integral part of the States’ history and development. It’s often romanticized today, but is very real history. The Wild West period started after the Civil War ended and the push that people felt to head west is often referred to as manifest destiny. Communities were created and defended, land was claimed and used, and states were eventually formed. It definitely wasn’t always pretty–there are a lot of ugly truths to the western expansion, but it remains an important part of American history. The States wouldn’t exist as it is today without the Wild West and it’s worth learning about.
This printable is a checklist for places where you can experience and learn about the Wild West way of life. They are scattered across the western side of the United States, so it’s a great idea to pair it with some road trips. Click on the image below and save the PDF to your computer.
Put on your cowboy hat and immerse yourself in this important part of American history. This wild west inspired travel bucket list printable will guide you on where to learn about manifest destiny, the realities of life at that time, and how cowboys continue to live today. | <urn:uuid:d83599b5-682a-4db9-a3c9-b837f775ad22> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://albiongould.com/wild-west-inspired-travel-bucket-list-printable/ | 2024-04-17T10:13:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.971014 | 372 |

Monitoring your pet's defecation status every time allows you to notice small changes, leading to early detection of diseases and is suitable for managing your pet's health. The condition of your dog's stool is most influenced by the food it eats, but if there is an abnormality in frequency, amount, hardness, shape, color, etc. compared to normal stools, it may be a sign of illness.
The frequency of defecation varies between individuals. Some dogs only go for a walk once a day, while others do it three or four times a day. It is judged by comparing it with the daily frequency and whether it is abnormal.
The number of times increases
・Colonic diarrhea: When bacteria or parasites cause inflammation in the large intestine, resulting in diarrhea.
・Change in diet: If your digestion is not going well after changing your food.
・Food that is difficult to digest
・Diet food: Foods that give you a feeling of satiety but are low in calories, so they contain a lot of fiber and increase stool volume.
The number of times and amount decreases.
・Constipation: If you do not defecate for several days, have a small amount of defecation, or have a feeling of incomplete defecation. Chronic constipation is more of a problem than temporary constipation.
Cause: Stenosis or obstruction (foreign body in the intestine, tumor, diverticulum, pelvic fracture, etc.)
Difficulty defecating due to pain (such as anal pain or spinal cord disease)
Environment (dirty toilet, moving, stress, etc.)
Idiopathic megacolon ( cat )
Normal stool consistency means that it won't crumble when you pick it up, and it won't leave any stains on your sheets. Loose stools that are a little softer than usual can occur if a changed diet doesn't suit you or if you drink too much water.
There are many possible causes of diarrhea. In addition to problems with the digestive system, diarrhea can also be caused by the thyroid, pancreas, liver, kidneys, and tumors.
・Acute diarrhea : Effects of food (allergy, inappropriate diet, bacterial food poisoning)
Infectious diseases (viruses, bacteria)
drug side effects
・Chronic diarrhea : inflammatory bowel disease
exocrine pancreatic insufficiency
Foreign objects etc.
Red (bloody stool): Bleeding from the anus or large intestine (anal pouchitis, colitis, etc.)
Black (tarry stool): Bleeding from the stomach or duodenum
Jelly-like deposits: Inflammation of the large intestine (mucus and mucous membranes)
Foreign body: When hair, wood chips, stones, etc. come out of your stool, you have a foreign body habit. Be careful not to allow your pet to eat it.
Changes in stool are a sign that something is wrong. Checking your stool is an easy way to manage your health on a daily basis. When processing your stool, be sure to check it carefully.
If your dog has abnormal stools and goes to the veterinary hospital, please bring stool samples with you for a stool test. It is preferable that the stool you bring should be fresh and from the day of your consultation. An amount about the size of the tip of your little finger is enough.
The condition of your pet's stool is primarily influenced by its diet, so feed your pet an appropriate amount of high-quality food. | <urn:uuid:05365611-03c9-4020-b57f-423529c6cf33> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://alices-dogcat.com/en/blogs/%E7%8D%A3%E5%8C%BB%E5%B8%AB%E3%82%B3%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A0/%E7%8D%A3%E5%8C%BB%E5%B8%AB%E3%82%B3%E3%83%A9%E3%83%A0-%E6%8E%92%E4%BE%BF%E3%81%A7%E3%82%8F%E3%81%8B%E3%82%8B%E3%83%9A%E3%83%83%E3%83%88%E3%81%AE%E5%81%A5%E5%BA%B7 | 2024-04-17T08:56:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.911577 | 726 |
What Are Whole Foods?
What Are Whole Foods? In a world filled with convenience and processed options, “whole foods” has become a beacon of health and nutrition. Whole foods are unprocessed and unrefined, maintaining their natural state and nutritional value. Embracing these foods can transform your well-being, offering many benefits beyond just the healthy aspect.
Definition of Whole Foods
Types of Whole Foods
Whole foods encompass a variety of categories, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. These foods are not altered or stripped of their essential components, providing a holistic approach to nutrition.
Rich in Essential Nutrients
Whole foods are a powerhouse of essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Unlike processed alternatives, they offer a complete nutritional package, promoting overall health and vitality.
High Fiber Content
The high fiber content in whole foods contributes to improved digestion, weight management, and a reduced risk of chronic diseases. Fiber not only aids in maintaining a healthy digestive system but also keeps you feeling full and satisfied.
Nutrient Absorption and Bioavailability
The synergy of nutrients in whole foods enhances their absorption and bioavailability, ensuring that your body can make the most of the nutritional goodness present in these foods.
Examples of Whole Foods
Fruits and Vegetables
The vibrant colors of fruits and vegetables signify a rich array of nutrients. From the antioxidants in berries to the vitamins in leafy greens, incorporating a rainbow of produce ensures a diverse nutritional intake.
Whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, and oats are packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Choosing whole grains over refined options provides sustained energy and promotes cardiovascular health.
Lean proteins like chicken, fish, and legumes are essential for muscle development, immune function, and overall cellular health. They offer a nutrient-dense alternative to processed protein sources.
Avocados, nuts, and olive oil are excellent sources of healthy fats. These fats play a crucial role in brain health, hormone production, and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
Impact on Health
The nutrient density and fiber in whole foods contribute to a feeling of fullness, aiding in weight management. Unlike empty-calorie processed foods, whole foods provide sustained energy without unnecessary additives.
Reduced Risk of Chronic Diseases
Studies show that a diet rich in whole foods reduces the risk of chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. The natural compounds in these foods act as protective agents for your overall health.
The fiber and enzymes in whole foods support a healthy digestive system, reducing the risk of constipation and promoting regular bowel movements. A well-functioning digestive system is fundamental to overall well-being.
Whole Foods vs. Processed Foods
Comparing the nutrient profiles of whole and processed foods reveals a stark difference. Whole foods are nutrient-dense, providing a broad spectrum of essential elements, while processed foods often lack vital nutrients due to refining and manufacturing processes.
Impact on Overall Health
The long-term impact of a diet predominantly consisting of processed foods can lead to various health issues, including obesity, cardiovascular problems, and metabolic disorders. Making informed choices about the foods you consume is crucial for sustained well-being.
Making Informed Choices
Understanding food labels and ingredients empowers you to make informed choices. Opting for whole, minimally processed foods over heavily processed alternatives is a step towards prioritizing your health.

Whole Foods for Busy Professionals
Even with a hectic schedule, busy professionals can prioritize whole foods by opting for quick and nutritious options. Preparing simple meals in advance and having wholesome snacks on hand can make a significant difference in maintaining energy levels throughout the day.
Dispelling the Myth of Whole Foods Being Expensive
While there is a common misconception that whole foods are expensive, strategic shopping, bulk purchasing, and seasonality can make an entire diet cost-effective. Investing in your health now may lead to long-term savings on healthcare costs.
Long-Term Savings on Healthcare Costs
The preventive nature of a whole-food diet can contribute to long-term savings on healthcare expenses. By reducing the risk of chronic diseases, you are investing in your well-being and potentially avoiding costly medical treatments.
Sustainability of Whole Food Choices

Before the NCAA investigation that got Jeremy Pruitt fired, before the hire of Josh Heupel and before the mass exodus of players in the transfer portal, it’s important not to forget the biggest reason fans turned against Jeremy Pruitt and Heupel inherited such a mess. Tennessee football was in the midst of one of its worst seasons in 2020.
The Vols suffered their 27th losing season in school history and their 16th in the SEC era. We’re not counting 1917 when they went 0-3, as World War I prevented them from fielding a varsity team that year. But where does 2020 stack up against the other years?
Well, in this post, we’re going to break that down. Our official ranking will only involve teams in the SEC era, but before we finish, we’ll name standout teams before the SEC was founded. Only teams that finished with a losing record and didn’t make a postseason game make this list, though. With 2020 in the rearview mirror, these are the 10 worst seasons in Tennessee football history.
10. 1958: 4-6 (4-3)
We were down to the 1958 team and the 5-7 2013 here. The1958 team actually had more quality wins, but the 2013 team beat a top five team in the South Carolina Gamecocks, still beat two teams with a winning record and only lost to one team with a losing record. Six of their seven losses were to teams that had winning records, and five were to top 25 teams.
On the other hand, the 1958 team is marked by inconsistencies. UT beat three teams that were ranked when they played them in the Mississippi State Bulldogs at No. 11, the Ole Miss Rebels at No. 7 and the Vanderbilt Commodores at No. 15. However, they suffered an upset loss to the Chattanooga Mocs.
Meanwhile, MSU and Vandy finished the year unranked. Other losses were to the 5-4-1 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and Kentucky Wildcats along with the 7-4 Florida State Seminoles. None of those teams finished the year ranked. Tennessee football suffered its first losing season under Bowden Wyatt here, and this was the start of a downward slide until Doug Dickey arrived. | <urn:uuid:00cac8ec-f7b4-497d-85af-3eb8ca1f7fcd> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://allfortennessee.com/2021/08/02/tennessee-football-worst-teams-history/ | 2024-04-17T09:20:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.980841 | 464 |

you can make and it could be more powerful or could make more of an influence on readers and you can likewise personalize the shipment i do not utilize this report as much but essentially associates with the type of tone that you’ve set for your file and i’ll reveal you how this operates in a moment and there’s also a style guide also which is a company only function and again i’ll show you how this works and obviously includes a dedicated plagiarism checker too before i get into a few of those organization includes let’s have a look at the total score due to the fact that again i find this is quite useful if for instance you as an editor or a company owner wish to provide feedback to a team member you could merely download this pdf report and ask to fix problems so in this case it’s provided me a rating of 90 out of 100 which is quite good however let’s state i had a red rating well then i could possibly utilize this to flag concerns prior to i publish it or do something with the file in question

Bruce Miller and I had each climbed in the
Bugaboos twice previously without setting foot on North Howser Tower, so
on our first day together in the range we focused on the section that is
simply too impressive–and too intimidating–to ignore: the west face.
We left our comfortable camp in the East Creek Basin July 30 at 3:15
a.m. for a new route attempt on this wall. The first crux–the sketchy
transition from snow to rock without crampons or a solid anchor–came at
the start of the face. By day’s end we had climbed more than 2,000 feet,
of which at least 1,500 feet were on new terrain. The route’s crux, a
ten-foot slabby traverse, involved the only aid of our climb: I used
tension to lead it (although Bruce followed it clean). Our haul pack was
light (we had no sleeping bag or stove), but we paid for this choice
that evening as we shivered together, each in a thin bivy sack and belay
jacket. By 2 p.m. the following day we stood atop the highest point of
the Howser Massif, and by 5:30 p.m. we were back at camp. On the top
half of our route, we shared some pitches with Young Men On Fire, but
many of our pitches climbed to its right or left.
Two sunny rest days in the breathtaking East Creek Basin cirque
provided motivation for another climbing day. A short approach just
above camp brought us to a highly featured wall just right of the
classic Beckey-Chouinard Route on South Howser Tower. Eight hundred feet
of new climbing led to a point between Pitches 5 and 6 of the
Beckey-Chouinard, which we followed to the summit. Lost in the Talus (V
5.11-) offers a steep and sustained variation to the Beckey-Chouinard’s
With clear skies prevailing we climbed two more days in a row,
establishing a new route each day on a previously unclimbed 300-foot
face in the Pigeon Feathers. Peek-A-Boo Pinnacle hides just out of sight
behind Fingerberry Tower, and now contains two excellent routes of
vastly different character: Peek-A-Boo (III 5.11+) takes an overhanging
finger crack on the right side of the face while ICU (III 5.11+) attacks
a steep offwidth and roof on the left side.
How long would the perfect weather hold? Our unfinished business on
North Howser Tower remained in the backs of our minds. Despite our
fatigue, we both felt that a one-day free push of our route would be
On August 11 our packs contained short axes, lightweight crampons, a
pared-down rack, food, jackets and a liter of water each. We carried no
bivy gear. The first few pitches ran with water in places from a large
snow patch at half-height. (In a drier year or later in the season the
rock might not be wet.) The rock quality on the route surpassed our
expectations, and unlike some parties who have climbed the face, we
experienced no rockfall. Before the sun had reached us, Bruce led the
tension traverse free on his first attempt with numb fingers and toes.
Inspired by his success, I followed the delicate section free as well.
We now needed only to climb fast without mistakes up familiar stone.
Fifteen hours after starting the climb we once again stood atop the west
face of North Howser Tower, having made its first one-day free ascent in
twenty-one hours round-trip from camp. Hey Kool-Aid! (VI 5.11+) is the
second free route on the west face.

Did you know what you do the night before significantly affects how you show up the next day? While the morning mindset, movement, and motivation routine will work wonders to shake the cobwebs off, there’s no replacement for a solid amount of shut-eye. I recommend adding these habits and upgrades to your nightly routine to help your mind clear, body relax and sleep improve.
I do not buy into the idea that in order to be successful your sleep has to suffer for extended periods of time. After a few days of not getting a solid 6 to 7 hours, I am irritable and angry. The quality of my work, relationships, and life, in general, takes a hit so I’ve made it a priority to create an environment that allows me to fall and stay asleep. Over the years, I’ve tried everything under the sun to get a solid night’s rest.
In my experience, I suck at sleeping. It’s like the military and fire department has permanently disrupted my body’s ability to fall and stay asleep. Unlike my fiancé, who drifts off as soon as her head touches down, I used to toss and turn and stand and sit in an attempt to finally fall asleep. I’d turn on the white-noise fan app, put earplugs in, and, even with blackout curtains, still put a shirt over my eyes to catch the chance of any other light. I put magnesium in my chamomile tea and am always on the lookout for supplements that support sleep. I’ve had a lot of experience with restless nights and there are a few things I’ve learned.
So how do I nail my nightly routine?
Excellent question! The following article goes over habits and rules I’ve implemented into a nightly routine that puts me in a headspace to reduce stress, sleep better, and wake up more refreshed. My hope is that they’ll save your sleep, just as they did mine.
For the same reasons, you’re stretching in the morning add this to your nightly ritual. Stretching will help you destress and unwind before a restful night of sleep. It frees up tension built up in your back, legs, and mind. After a long day’s work, it’s certainly tempting to flop down on the couch. Just don’t miss out on the opportunity to relax your body and unwind your mind so you’re better set up for a night of slumber.
If you do sit down and watch TV, slide off onto the floor and do your morning mobility routine once more. Add some static stretching and foam rolling to release all of the energy bound up from a long day’s work. Focus on stretches and exercises that loosen up tight hips and shoulders and relieve back pain. If you sit down a lot, chances are your hip flexors are tight, your hamstrings are overstretched, and your back is weak. Correct these imbalances with a couch stretch, hip bridge, and any and all of these you can do on the floor while catching up on your favorite show.
Try this: Spend 10 minutes static stretching and foam rolling each night before bed. Hit all major muscle groups, sinking, slowly into a deep stretch for 20-30 seconds at a time.
Shut off your devices
What you do the final hour before bed determines the quality of your rest, the details of your dreams and how you show up the next day. Don’t sabotage your sleep by staring at a screen. Do not be lured in by likes, shares or media that’s manufactured to distract you. We’ve been emotionally conditioned to buy into the illusion that we must always know what’s going on with everybody, at all times, all around the world. We don’t. If you must know the happenings of the world or respond to social media requests, set aside some time during the day to scan the screens.
My favorite thing about a phone is the airplane mode feature. When you’re at work, be ready to respond and react to meet the incoming demands of your clients, customers, and coworkers. Once you get home, especially during the crucial last hour before bed, put your phone in first-class mode and find some time for yourself. Once you do, you’ll start to see your sleep quality improving alongside your memory, focus, and mood the next day. Remember to keep your phone in airplane mode at least until after you’ve wrapped up your morning routine.
Try this: Stick to just one show or a specified amount of screen time then power off and slide your phone into airplane mode, at least 1 hour before bed.
Sit down and reflect
Everything you have right now in your life is a culmination of your past thoughts, ideas, and decisions to this point. It can be easy to lose sight of the fact that we’re in charge of where we steer this ship. The final hour before you sleep is a sacred time to remember, reflect on, and learn from the day. Each night brings a new chance to evolve and grow. If you are dissatisfied or after more growth, more love, more freedom or anything else under the sun, take the time to sit down and reflect each night to track how much closer you are to obtaining it. It’s never too late to course-correct.
Everything that happens to you is a lesson you need to learn. The faster you learn the lesson, the faster you level up in life. Take some time to reflect, grow and let go each night by asking yourself the following 3 questions. Write down your worries and unfinished to-do’s and look for any silver linings or hidden lessons from the day. Ask yourself:
- What worked well for me today?
- What could have gone better?
- How did I grow?
Try this: Make reflection a part of your nightly routine before you go to bed by answering the above-stated questions.
Cultivating feelings of gratitude is the easiest way to improve your outlook and life and the best way to end your day. Before slipping under, consciously shift your focus to all things going great in your life and around the world. It’s too easy to get caught up in drama, judgment, failure, regret, worry, fear and negative self-talk. If that’s the road you head down each night, it’s time to pull the brakes! Focus on the positive and those pessimistic thoughts will eventually begin to fade.
While sleeping your brain is processing all of the day’s memories and experiences. It’s organizing your thoughts and feelings and making them long term memories. It’s categorizing what you learned and watched and priming your mind and body for the same thing tomorrow. By reflecting on what you are grateful for before you slip under you are attracting more things to be grateful for tomorrow. Gratitude opens the door for stronger relationships, increased self-esteem, improved outlook, and better sleep. With an attitude of gratitude, life gets easier.
Try this: Share 3-5 things you’re grateful for today, and 1-2 opportunities you’re grateful for tomorrow.
For more upgrades to your nightly routine consider implementing the following rules as well –
- Try this: Eliminate light, noise and turn your room into a cave with blackout curtains like these.
- Consider: Setting a time to stop eating each night, about 2 hours before bed. Check out this story of how a mom did it and what she learned.
- Try this: Avoid caffeine completely and if you can drink your last cup before lunchtime comes. Maybe you’re ready to give up coffee? I recommend green tea.
- Consider: Limiting blue light exposure after sundown. Try Iris on your laptop.
- Try this: Replenishing electrolytes, especially after your regular workout or if you battle the hypnic jerk.
- Consider: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. Humans are wired for rhythm and routine.
If you’re not sleeping successfully, the potential for positive physical, mental, and emotional progress is poor at best. It can be done, but sleep is so incredibly important. Not only will adding these rules and habits to your evening routine likely improve your sleep, but it’ll also maximize life’s learning curve and drastically increase your well-being. Commit to going all out in implementing these to your life for one month. Let’s see how much you grow!
Ultimately, it’s discipline and consistency in following simple rules that will set you up for success. Start to implement these habits into your nightly routine so you achieve some serious shut-eye tonight and you’re ready for action tomorrow. Don’t forget to pick back up with part 1 and part 2 of your morning routine first thing tomorrow. You are on the verge of a breakthrough! Come back and tell us about it. | <urn:uuid:c132e672-6d41-4d09-bc3b-dbf85f53d8cd> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://alvcoaching.com/blog/nightly-routine/ | 2024-04-17T09:13:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.934171 | 1,877 |
When a fast-growing company expands its operations into lucrative overseas markets, this is known as “global expansion.” When these companies want to heighten themselves to new heights of success, they consider establishing a presence in new countries around the world.
Business growth often occurs at breakneck speed because any delay or indecision can result in your company missing out on fantastic opportunities. This is why expansions sometimes occur as part of impromptu strategies that haven’t been thoroughly planned.
It is far easier to be agile and responsive to market demands if your company can enter and exit markets with minimal disruption or delay. This adaptability reduces awkward bottlenecks and promotes growth.
Expand Your Business Now
It is a relatively simple process to expand your business to accept cross-border transactions. Though each expansion strategy is unique, there are a few steps that must be taken in each market that cover both technical and non-technical aspects.
Compliance requirements are most prevalent during the onboarding process to ensure compliance with local laws and tax systems. Cross-border expansion necessitates the management of operational, regulatory, and tax issues.
Each market has its own quirks that must be navigated with trusted local knowledge and experience. Planning for regulatory considerations and customer due diligence ensures that operations continue to run smoothly after expansion.
When preparing to accept international payments, the most significant integration challenge is connecting to an international payment gateway. Payment gateways connect various payment methods and systems to make transactions safe, quick, and simple for your customers.
Amald is a platform well-known for international payment processing. It provides you with a quick and easy onboarding process and an expansive array of customization options so that you can choose the best payment option for your online business. We allow safe and efficient processing of funds via credit card or bank and help you settle these funds to your business account.
Why should you use global payments?
Aside from making global payments, you can also take advantage of a variety of other benefits when using the global payment model. Here are some of the characteristics you will most likely read about.
- It enables credit card payments on your site with a fully integrated checkout experience.
- Accept payment via various credit or debit card systems such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club, and so on.
- You need to pay for the authorization charges, and you will be able to settle funds immediately.
- Customers can use Global Payments Card Storage to save their credit card for future purchases.
Strategies to Streamline your International Payments
While trying to keep your partners happy, you must also be aware of international payment regulations. Fast, accurate payments are useless if they result in fines and penalties. Here are a few precautions your business can take to avoid trouble:
1. Determine the Preferred Payment Method for the Supplier
Each of your global suppliers will have unique banking and a set of requirements to meet. That is why it is critical to identify and use their preferred payment methods. If you have your suppliers’ routing information and can make payments directly to their bank account, global ACH payments become more cost-effective.
Each of your global suppliers will have a unique banking field and set of requirements to meet with our international payment gateway. That is why it is critical to identify — and use — their preferred payment methods. If you have your suppliers’ routing information and can send payments directly to their bank accounts, global ACH payments become more cost-effective.
2. Learn About Global Payment Rules.
Knowing every cross-border payment rule can necessitate a whole department dedicated to compliance. It also enables payees to automatically provide the necessary information, streamlining the payment process and even creating discount opportunities.
3. Collaborate with a Global Payables Platform.
You must maintain good relationships with your global partners in order to sustain your company’s growth, and a quick, seamless flow of payments will reinforce those relationships. Furthermore, navigating bank methodology and compliance can be difficult. By outsourcing these functions to a reputable global payment management platform, your team can concentrate on more strategic aspects of the business while saving you time and money.

Seed tube monitoring
Another useful system to assist the driver is the optionally available seed pipe monitoring which detects immediately any blockages down at the coulter and in the tube. Directly behind the distributor head, sensors monitor the seed flow in the seed pipes. Incorrect switch-over of the tramline rhythm is automatically detected by the system. Especially on long working days, the monitoring is an elegant solution to help keep an eye on the working performance. | <urn:uuid:22f13d76-f455-45e9-9097-3580a5711dbb> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://amazone.net/en/products-digital-solutions/seed-tube-monitoring-58592 | 2024-04-17T09:11:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.902553 | 92 |
Japan amends law to stop Russia exploiting ‘crypto-loopholes’
Japan will revise changes to the economic sanctions levied on Russia following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. Of late, several reports have alluded to Russia’s efforts to evade the sanctions using crypto-assets. Japan is the latest to amend its foreign exchange laws to avoid this, something confirmed by top government officials.
The government will submit a revision of the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act before the parliament to strengthen protections against potential sanction-busting by Russia through digital assets. This was announced by Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno in a press conference.
The revised law “presumably enables the government to apply the law to crypto-asset exchanges like banks and oblige them to scrutinise whether their clients are Russian sanction targets,” said Saisuke Sakai, Senior Economist at Mizuho Research and Technologies to by Yahoo Finance.
In recent years, Russia has been an important trade partner for Japan. However, Tokyo has been a vocal critic of the invasion of Ukraine. Hence, a decision was made for freezing assets of more than 100 Russian officials, oligarchs, banks and other institutions.
What motivated the changes?
Reports have been flooding in from senior lawmakers about Russia’s intentions to strategically evade the economic sanctions using crypto-assets. Arcane Research, for instance, claimed that there has been a major uptick in rouble-crypto transactions. The report stated,
“On February 28th, we saw a massive volume increase in the rouble pairs on Binance, particularly in USDT, as the USDTRUB volume reached a new all-time high of $35 million. The bitcoin volume also saw a substantial rise.”
Marcus Ferber, a German member of the European Parliament, was among those who voiced his concerns by saying,
“The European Commission must come up with specific proposals on how to close any loopholes in the sanctions regime relating to crypto assets.”
European Central Bank chief Christine Lagarde also chipped in by stating,
“To circumvent the sanctions that have been decided by many countries around the world against Russia and a particular and specific number of players,” Lagarde told an online banking forum. Here in Europe, we have taken steps to clearly signal to all those who are exchanging, transacting, offering services in relation to crypto assets that they are being accomplices.”
What else is being done to counter-Russia?
The United States has launched a task force called “KleptoCapture” to ensure the sanctions on Moscow while keeping cryptocurrencies at the centre of their focus. Similarly, the EU has also revised its strategy. This was evident in French Finance Minister Bruno le Maire’s statement.
“We are taking measures, in particular on crypto currencies or crypto assets which should not be used to circumvent the financial sanctions decided upon by the 27 EU countries.”
It remains to be seen how Russia will cope with the regulations on crypto. | <urn:uuid:bf7fbce3-b015-4292-898a-8b5cf1d732b8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ambcrypto.com/japan-amends-law-to-stop-russia-exploiting-crypto-loopholes/ | 2024-04-17T09:06:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.961353 | 628 |
Ahh good old Chaos Actual. Well, I look forward to reading it, as much as my illiterate grunt self can read, which I do in fact realize the irony of as I type this out. More interestingly though, the book, which we're certain will make the Commandant's Reading list and will inspire every Marine everywhere who hasn't completed their Reading For Marines MCI, to do so post haste, will not be a tell-all of the current administration.Why? Because class. Chaos Actual, for as deadly and revered as he is, has it.Instead the book...well phukit, why am I telling you this when you can read his actual quotes?
"My purpose in writing this book is to convey some of the lessons I learned in 43 years of service for those who might benefit, whether in the military or in civilian life."
That actually ought to be pretty damn helpful. There are some who are not huge fans of his, we get it, nobody is perfect and people, even Chaos, make mistakes. We'd venture to say that he has at least one or two lessons that we could all learn, after all, he has enjoyed some small amount of professional success (duh doy).So this summer, if you're looking for a tell-all book that will regale you with exploits as Sec-Def, this is apparently not the book for you as Mattis states:
"I'm old-fashioned: I don't write about sitting Presidents, so those looking for a tell-all will be disappointed. I want to pass on the lessons and experiences that prepared me for challenges I could not anticipate, not take up the hot political rhetoric of our day."
We do expect some exploits from Iraq and the initial push to Baghdad. We expect some peace time anecdotes as well, but we really really hope to read about he once knife handed Emperor Palpatine and destroyed the Death Star while commanding the USS Enterprise...some of you will get that joke...others will not.The book is expected to be out this July 16th, so look for it if you want, or don't. I'm not the boss of you. | <urn:uuid:d9efe572-76d1-4fbd-9753-a9ebb6bb640b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://americangrit.com/post/call-sign-chaos-learning-to-lead-a-book-by-the-warrior-monk | 2024-04-17T10:18:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.96721 | 443 |

The Myanmar authorities must immediately release three journalists, who were detained while carrying out their work in conflict-afflicted northern Shan State, Amnesty International said today.
Aye Nai and Pyae Phone Naing, both reporters for the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB), and Thein Zaw (aka Lawi Weng), a reporter for the Irrawaddy newspaper, were arrested along with four other people they were travelling with. At present there is no information as to the identities of the four other detainees.
“These journalists must be immediately and unconditionally released, and allowed to resume their work freely and without fear. Their arrests send a chilling message to Myanmar’s already embattled media."
James Gomez, Amnesty International’s Director for Southeast Asia and the Pacific
“These journalists must be immediately and unconditionally released, and allowed to resume their work freely and without fear. Their arrests send a chilling message to Myanmar’s already embattled media,” said James Gomez, Amnesty International’s Director for Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
Amnesty International has learned that the group was arrested by soldiers at a military checkpoint at Payargyi village, in northern Shan State’s Namhsan township, at approximately 3:30pm local time. The journalists were in the area to report on a drug burning ceremony to mark today’s International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking.
A statement posted on Facebook, by the Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar Armed Forces, says the group was arrested for being in contact with the Ta’ang National Liberation Army (TNLA).
The TNLA is one of several ethnic armed groups currently locked in a conflict with the Tatmadaw, Myanmar’s military forces, in northern Myanmar.
The statement threatened to take action against the group “according to the law”. There are fears that the seven people arrested may be charged with the vague and repressive Unlawful Associations Act, often used to arbitrarily arrest and detain people in ethnic and conflict affected areas, both predominantly along Myanmar’s borders.
The space for journalists to do their critically important work is under threat as the authorities continue to invoke a slew of draconian laws to silence, arrest and imprison them and restrict access to areas where the military operates.
“These arrests are a crude attempt to intimidate journalists by a military that cannot seem to abide even the faintest criticism. Fearful of any scrutiny of its role in northern Myanmar, where they stand accused of war crimes, the army is doing its best to stop journalists and other observers from accessing these areas,” said James Gomez.
In a report released earlier this month, Amnesty International documented how civilians from minority ethnic groups in Kachin and northern Shan States are suffering appalling abuses, including possible war crimes, at the hands of the Tatmadaw.
details how soldiers from Myanmar’s Armed Forces have carried out torture, enforced disappearances, extrajudicial executions, indiscriminate shelling of civilian villages, and put punitive restrictions on movement and humanitarian access.
Amnesty International also documented human rights abuses carried out by ethnic armed groups operating in the area, including the TNLA, such as abductions, forced recruitment and forced taxation of civilians. | <urn:uuid:e305e03b-3dcc-4ae5-8506-69ffcd4e9d0b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://amnesty.org.nz/myanmar-release-journalists-immediately | 2024-04-17T09:41:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.962203 | 667 |

Couloir skiing in Switzerland – Part 2 – Sightseeing the beautiful couloirs of Dents du Midi
The next day where to become the great couloir day as we where in one day skiing or climbing six different couloirs in the Dents du Midi range. We started traversing over towards the south couloir of Brèche des Doigts with the sunrise, quickly gaining height in the refrozen snow.
At the brèche we clicked in to our bindings and skied one of the most beautiful couloirs in this part of Europe; the north couloir of Brèche des Doigts. It’s an 800m high truly aesthetic and narrow y formed line with a savage feel to it. The snow was good, giving excellent friction, but was kind of wavy making it fairly tricky to ski on some places.
Finishing the north couloir of Bréche des Doigts we traversed skiers right in to the classic north couloir of Dent Jaune. This is the easiest ski on the whole face, but not really in good skiing conditions right now. But we couldn’t care less, just wanting to ascend the couloir to get access to more fun skiing. The climb up was really easy and it didn’t take long before me and Felix sat up on the col eating lunch. Steph had skied down to town, being happy for the day with the first couloir.
From here we made a few turns on the south face and then traversed over to the south facing couloir between Forteresse and Cathédrale with the plan to drop down in to the infamous north couloir on the other side. Its known to be very narrow and just over 1000m long making it one of the longer couloirs in the Préalps. But its not really one couloir, its more like 3,4 or maybe 5 different couloirs linked together making the route finding not to obvious for someone ambitious enough dropping in from the top.
But well, we found our way, and the skiing was good; some powder but mostly just flat grippy chalk like a dance floor. But about half way down we realised that following the intended line would include lots of down climbing on loose rock or a couple of rappels, as the bottom part was not very well filled in. So we continued light skiers left down to a big snowfield above a huge cliff band. Again with some route finding we found a traverse to the bottom half of the couloir de Soi and linked together a fully skiable variation with just a few meters of down climbing.
Happy to have found a good way down the mountain we kept on going down easy open fields in really good snow down to the tree line where we ended up bush-whacking mixed with some good skiing here and there before we found the trail leading down to the village of La Cour. But the adventure was not over just yet. The snow line was already reached a long time ago and me and Felix was walking down this road that did not seemed built with the intention of loosing any altitude so we started shortcutting steep meadows and jumping electric fence after electric fence ending up muddy and tired down at the bridge at the bottom of the valley. From here only a 20-minute walk stood between us and the train station next to the white church; that we with longing glances had been able to see during the whole descent.
Down the street from the train station I found a signpost for a Pizzeria giving us a well-awaited chance to get a pizza on the run before the train would come a few minutes later.
The rest of the story includes a two missed trains (just), a beer in the center of Monthey and finally a ride from Martigny with Felix’s lovely girlfriend who pitied us to much to say no, when we just had missed the last train to Chamonix.
Thanks again Steph, Felix and of course Lotti for another great adventure…

Google Camera with HDR+ for Snapdragon 820/821 and 835 Android Devices
It is already known that Google Pixel’s camera is one of the best smartphone cameras that you can find on the current market. Its success is related to Google’s proprietary HDR+ image processing. For the average user, HDR+ means the best way to produce stunning photographs without the need to learn manual photography or edit RAW images.
To be more precise, HDR+ takes multiple underexposed photos and combines them, reducing image noise in the process. This sounds great, but when the Google Camera was sideloaded onto other devices, the truth is that HDR+ remained disabled.
Things have now changed and you can take advantage of Google Camera’s HDR+ thanks to a modified version of the APK ported to work on any device with the Hexagon 680 ISP (found on the Snapdragon 820, 821, and 835 SoCs model).
This time, an Ukrainian developer known as B-S-G on the forum 4PDA, was the one who made it possible. Google Camera is no stranger to being modded or ported as we have also seen a popular Zero-Shutter Lag (ZSL) HDR+ mod of the app brought the Google Pixel’s picture taking speed to the Google Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. However, this is the first time a port has brought the HDR+ from the Google Pixel’s camera to other devices.
Even if you might have your doubts, I can assure you that the modified Google Camera app with HDR+ support does indeed seem to work with Google’s HDR+ technology. This has been already tested on handsets such as OnePlus 3/3T, LG G6, OnePlus 5, and even Galaxy S8. And as if all these were not enough, the app has also been independently verified by Amir Zaidi at XDA.

HardWall cleanrooms will provide your company with the highest level of control over contamination, pressure, humidity, and static. At Angstrom Technology, we offer HardWall cleanrooms made from stainless steel, fiberglass reinforced plastic, vinyl, plastic laminate, and aluminum. At Angstrom Technology we can build you a HardWall cleanroom using your existing walls, or we can create one that is freestanding, to your exact specifications. From Class 1 to Class 10,000, a HardWall cleanroom can be engineered to comply with any standards.
Every business and organization needs a cleanroom for different reasons. That’s why we design each individual cleanroom we sell to fit our client’s specific needs. Your cleanroom is going to be different than a cleanroom built for our last client because your standards are different, your company is different, and your space is different. At Angstrom Technology we work closely with you to design a cleanroom that works for you. We’ll even come out to your site to meet you so that we know exactly what we’re working with. Contact us today to start the process.
HOW CAN WE MAKE YOUR HARDWALL CLEANROOM WORK FOR YOUR EXISTING BUILDING?
EXISTING HVAC INTEGRATION
Don’t worry about putting in new a heating and cooling system to accommodate your new cleanroom, we can design a cleanroom that incorporates your existing HVAC system, but still maintains your specific contamination standards.
LIGHT FROM EXISTING WINDOWS
We’ll work to incorporate aspects of your existing building into your cleanroom. That means we can use existing walls, and light from existing windows to construct a cleanroom that is functional and convenient.
We know in many cases, you might already own some of the equipment that will go in the cleanroom. Which is why we design a HardWall cleanroom specifically for you. We can work around equipment that is ceiling OR floor mounted.
WHY CHOOSE A HARDWALL CLEANROOM?
1. Top of the Line Environment Control
From humidity to static to temperature, a HardWall cleanroom lets you control every aspect of the cleanroom environment, far beyond just particle decontamination. Additionally, a HardWall cleanroom can be configured to meet any standards, from Class 1 to Class 10,000.
2. Modification and Upgrades
Hardwall cleanrooms are the easiest cleanroom option to modify and upgrade. With an Angstrom Technology HardWall cleanroom, you’ll be able to expand wherever you need to, and upgrade with new technology as it comes out. Whatever your needs are, a HardWall cleanroom can be configured, and reconfigured to meet those.
3. Built to Your Specifications
Angstrom Technology offers a variety of materials to construct your custom cleanroom, which means you’ll get exactly the durability and cleanliness you’re looking for, at the price you want. You’ll also have the choice of building your cleanroom off of existing walls, or opting for a freestanding cleanroom. Most importantly, we’ll ensure that your cleanroom meets your specific requirements for cleanliness.
4. Easy Installation
Since all the parts for your cleanroom are prefabricated, it will only take a few days to construct your custom designed cleanroom. Once you receive all of the parts to your cleanroom, you can install it yourself, or you can hire the technicians at Angstrom Technology to put it together for you. Our team will manage the project from delivery to clean up, with minimal distraction, so you can get on with your life.
5. Simple Maintenance
HardWall cleanrooms are one of the easiest options to maintain. Hard panels are simpler to clean, and we’ll provide you with a list of all of the things you’ll want to keep track of, to make sure your cleanroom keeps doing exactly what it’s supposed to, for as long as you need it.
The number one benefit of HardWall cleanrooms is their durability and longevity. Their heavy-duty frame is attached to a strong ceiling grid, meaning they won’t sag over time, like other cleanroom options, and they can be used, and re-used. HardWall cleanrooms offer superior security, chemical resistance, and long-time durability.
WHY ARE HARDWALL CLEANROOMS THE BEST OPTION?
EASY TO EXPAND
If your cleanroom needs changes in the future, HardWall cleanrooms can be easily modified, added to, and expanded. They can also be completely relocated if you need to move the entire cleanroom project elsewhere.
Since they’re constructed from hard materials, they will last much longer, and will hold up better than any other cleanroom material. Even if you have to take it down or move it, a HardWall cleanroom will stand up to just about anything.
EASY TO CLEAN
A HardWall cleanroom is much easier to clean than a SoftWall or plastic cleanroom. The methods are simpler, and mechanically it’s just easier to clean a stable material than it is to clean an unfixed SoftWall cleanroom.
MEET ALL STANDARDS
You can’t go wrong with a HardWall cleanroom, it can be designed to meet even the highest standards. You’re spending a lot of money on your cleanroom, so it’s important it meets the class standards. Whether you need a Class 1 or Class 10,000 cleanroom, a HardWall cleanroom can fulfill those requirements.
A HardWall cleanroom affords you pressure control that no other type of cleanroom will. Since its walls extend from floor to ceiling, and there are no plastic doorways, it can hold higher pressure differentials which are integral to maintaining different particle cleanliness in different areas of your cleanroom.
A/C & HUMIDITY CONTROL
If you are looking for A/C and humidity control, a HardWall cleanroom is your best option. While you can gain some control with SoftWall cleanrooms, a HardWall cleanroom is the only one offering total control over humidity and A/C, making them ideal for higher class standards.

- The mucus plug is formed in the cervix during pregnancy and acts as a protective barrier.
- It’s normal to lose parts of the mucus plug throughout pregnancy as more mucus is secreted.
- Yes, the mucus plug can regenerate and replace lost parts as long as some remains in the cervix.
- Losing the entire mucus plug may signal the start of labor within days/weeks.
- Partial losses of the plug are common and not necessarily concerning before 37 weeks.
What is the mucus plug and its purpose?
The mucus plug is a collection of cervical mucus that fills and seals the opening of the uterus during pregnancy. It forms in the cervix, which is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina.
The main purpose of the mucus plug is to provide a protective barrier against infection ascending into the uterus from the vagina. It helps block bacteria and other pathogens from entering the amniotic sac and potentially harming the developing baby.
The mucus plug is often referred to as the “seal” that keeps the uterus sterile during pregnancy. It contains antiseptic biochemicals such as immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and leukocytes which all have antibacterial properties. The plug’s thick gel-like consistency also physically plugs the cervical canal, providing a sticky barrier.
How does the mucus plug form during pregnancy?
The mucus plug starts developing early on in the first trimester of pregnancy. Increased estrogen levels cause the cervix to produce and secrete more mucus.
The mucus accumulates and sticks together, adhering to the walls of the cervical canal. As more mucus is produced, the mucus plug grows in size and blocks off the opening of the cervix.
By the third trimester, the mucus plug can be between 2-4 cm thick completely filling the cervical canal. The mucus takes on a thick, rubbery texture often described as resembling egg whites.
The plug may be white, yellowish, or tinged with a little blood. The blood comes from small blood vessels that form in the cervix during pregnancy.
Is it normal to lose parts of the mucus plug during pregnancy?
Yes, it is very common and normal to lose bits and pieces of the mucus plug throughout pregnancy. As the cervix produces more mucus, parts of the older mucus plug can loosen and be expelled.
According to a study in Midwifery, over 90% of women reported losing parts of their mucus plug during pregnancy, most commonly in the third trimester.
Losing fragments of the mucus plug is not necessarily a concern. The cervix continues secreting fresh mucus which can regenerate the mucus plug and replace any lost portions.
Typically, partial losses appear as thick mucus discharge that may be tinged with blood. Small losses may occur after intercourse, vaginal exams, bowel movements, or physical activity. Losing a little mucus doesn’t mean labor is imminent.
Can the mucus plug regenerate if parts are lost?
Yes, the mucus plug has the ability to regenerate even after partial losses. Since the cervix keeps producing mucus throughout pregnancy, the mucus plug can replenish itself multiple times.
Think of the mucus plug as continually being formed by newer mucus pushing out older mucus. Losing a piece just allows newer mucus to take its place.
As long as some amount of the mucus plug remains intact in the cervix, the cervix can continue secreting mucus to regenerate the lost portions.
Even after losing parts of the plug, the remainder is still able to provide an effective barrier for blocking infection in most cases.
Is it a problem if the entire mucus plug comes out?
Losing the entire mucus plug is more concerning because it leaves the cervix open and vulnerable to infection. It also often signals that labor will be starting soon.
When the whole mucus plug dislodges at once, it typically looks like a large amount of mucus tinged with blood. This is referred to as the “bloody show.”
According to a study in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine, 51% of women went into labor within 48 hours of losing their entire mucus plug. For most women, labor began within 7 days.
So losing the entire mucus plug is considered a sign that the cervix is preparing for delivery. However, it doesn’t guarantee that labor is imminent. Some women can regenerate a mucus plug and continue pregnancy for days or weeks after losing one.
Should you call the doctor if you lose your mucus plug?
It’s a good idea to contact your healthcare provider if you notice significant changes with your mucus plug, such as:
- Losing large amounts of the plug at once
- Losing all of the mucus plug at one time
- Noticing a foul odor or unusual color to the mucus
- Losing the plug earlier than 37 weeks pregnant
Your provider can examine you and check for dilation of the cervix. They may test for infection if the mucus smells foul.
If you lose your mucus plug before 37 weeks, it’s considered preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). This signals a higher risk for preterm labor or infection.
However, minor mucus discharge with no odor, color, or other symptoms is usually not concerning. Let your provider know at your next visit. Monitor for labor signs.
What happens to the mucus plug before labor begins?
In the weeks before labor, the mucus plug begins to loosen up in preparation for delivery. As the cervix starts thinning out (effacing) and opening up (dilating), the mucus plug can detach.
The hormone relaxin also causes the cervical tissues to soften, which makes the plug more likely to dislodge. The cervix may dilate enough that the entire mucus plug is expelled.
Losing the mucus plug signals that the cervix is changing and getting ready for birth. But keep in mind that labor onset can still vary widely after losing a plug.
It’s also possible for labor to begin with the mucus plug still intact. Sometimes the cervix dilates rapidly, and a woman’s water breaks before the plug has a chance to come out.
Does the mucus plug form again after giving birth?
No, the mucus plug does not regenerate after delivery. It is only present during pregnancy when higher estrogen levels cause increased cervical mucus production.
After birth, the cervix closes back up and mucus production decreases substantially by about 6 weeks postpartum. Estrogen and progesterone levels plummet.
The cervix no longer needs to produce copious amounts of mucus to form a protective barrier. Without pregnancy, there is no need for the mucus plug.
Any cervical mucus present after giving birth is just normal minimal secretions. The regenerative mucus plug strictly serves a purpose during gestation and is not reformed.
When does the mucus plug form in subsequent pregnancies?
If a woman becomes pregnant again, a new mucus plug will start developing early in the first trimester. This again provides protection against infection for the new pregnancy.
Research has found that the mucus plug forms at around 7-9 weeks gestation in repeat pregnancies. However, it takes longer to fully develop and isn’t mature and well-formed until around 20 weeks.
In subsequent pregnancies, the cervix may produce less mucus compared to a first pregnancy. But eventually an adequate mucus plug does regenerate during the second and third trimesters.
Just like the first pregnancy, parts of the mucus plug may be lost and regenerate multiple times throughout. This is normal.
Key takeaways about the mucus plug:
- The mucus plug provides an important protective barrier in the cervix during pregnancy.
- It’s common to lose parts of the plug as pregnancy progresses and the mucus regenerates.
- Losing the entire plug may mean labor will start within days or weeks as the cervix prepares to dilate.
- Notify your provider if you lose all of your plug before 37 weeks or notice any abnormal symptoms.
- After birth, the mucus plug does not reform since its only purpose is during pregnancy. | <urn:uuid:0dd34733-9214-4ec6-bafd-dd92ac34154f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://answercatch.com/mucus-plug-regenerate/ | 2024-04-17T09:36:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.945326 | 1,752 |
CANCELLED: Memorial Day Ceremony at Bastogne
In order to protect public health and safety in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Memorial Day ceremony at the Mardasson Memorial in Bastogne is cancelled this year.
The City of Bastogne organizes this Memorial Day Ceremony each year in honor of the Americans who gave their lives in the defense of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. The ceremony is conducted in French in the presence of hundreds of local Belgian citizens, and it takes place at the Mardasson Monument. The AOMDA Foundation has created the Bastogne Memorial Fund to restore the Mardasson Monument. | <urn:uuid:2bd9685a-7f75-4be9-be2b-7e906f90fe86> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://aomda.org/en/content/cancelled-memorial-day-ceremony-bastogne | 2024-04-17T08:18:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.922728 | 144 |
A new month brings more new games to look forward to, and August is no different. A diverse lineup of games both big and small awaits us, covering a wide spectrum of genres. Kicking things off is a heavy hitter — Baldur’s Gate 3, the much-awaited RPG from Larian Studios, which arrives August 3. You can expect the purest RPG experience from Baldur’s Gate, one whose roots can be traced to tabletop RPGs of yore. Larian doesn’t cut corners and its games offer a plethora of meaningful choices, character builds, and gameplay approaches.
August also brings the next game from FromSoftware — Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon. The makers of Elden Ring are reviving their long-dormant mech-combat series, which perhaps might not be familiar to many gamers. Since the last Armored Core title released in 2012, the Japanese developer has found sensational success with the Dark Souls series, Bloodborne, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and most recently with Elden Ring. FromSoftware is known for its difficult but rewarding games, and Armored Core will be a departure from its regular slate of titles. That said, you can expect the same level of uncompromising adherence to its game design ethos.
Then there’s Immortals of Aveum, EA’s new IP focusing on first-person magic-based combat, much like Ghostwire Tokyo. Sports fans can get their hands on Madden NFL 24, and if you just want a laid-back narrative-driven experience, upcoming indie title Goodbye Volcano High with its high-school theme, evocative soundtrack and beautiful art style could be the game for you. August offers a lot more – here are our picks for the biggest game releases of the month.
Baldur’s Gate 3
When: August 3
Having spent nearly three years in early access, Larian Studios appears to have slow-cooked Baldur’s Gate 3 to the kind of perfection that’d have D&D enthusiasts giddy with excitement. The land of Faerûn is under siege by a group of creatures — including us — whose brains have been infected by Mind Flayers. Lost in a trance and with the parasite slowly turning you into a monster, it’s for you to decide whether to resist the corruption or embrace the otherworldly powers, gambling it all in a dynamic world where every dice roll shapes your fate. Embody one of the seven Origin characters to enjoy their uniquely hand-crafted stories, or build your own custom protagonist and recruit them to fight beside you in the war against devils, deities, and sinister forces.
Baldur’s Gate 3 promises a vast character creation suite, with a dozen classes, 11 races, 31 subraces, and over 600 spells to choose from, all of which factor into your overall stat. Its expansive campaign rewards exploration in every corner, in addition to offering a challenging turn-based combat experience that’s more accessible, thanks to three difficulty settings. This CRPG is so big, in fact, that the cinematics alone will keep you entertained for over 174 hours. Add to it the ability to nurture strong bonds and explore romance options with those you meet along the way, and this is a role-playing game that shows a ton of promise. BG3 can also be played in co-op with friends or players online to help tackle its numerous quests together, or strategise and split your party for better coverage.

Like some of the most popular magic-based games, you can use 25 offensive and defensive spells, along with more than 80 talents and magical equipment — these can be honed and upgraded as you progress in the game. Immortals of Aveum offers very fast-paced combat, so you’ll have to learn how to chain attacks together in order to win against your enemies.
When: August 24
Where: PC, PS5, Xbox Series S/X, Nintendo Switch
The Game Kitchen’s Blasphemous 2 is a 2D Metroidvania, much in the mould of Dead Cells. The game follows the journey of The Penitent One, picking up the story from the first game and its DLC. This time, it’s a new world bursting to the rim with new dangers and secrets. As you’d expect from a Metroidvania, the game plays out as a recurring loop of death and resurrection, as you explore maze-like intricate levels and engage in flashy combat.
The sequel to 2019’s Blasphemous will bring new weapons to your arsenal and new ways to kill. There are boss battles to wage, mysteries to uncover, and NPCs to befriend. There’s also a ton of customisation options for both your abilities and weapons, so you’re never really tied down to a play style. Is a Dead Cells-like Metroidvania truly complete without the throwback pixel art style? Blasphemous 2 arrives August 24 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series S/X and Nintendo Switch.
Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon
When: August 25
Where: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X
FromSoftware is returning to its mech-crunching roots, tossing you into a dystopian future where interstellar travel is commonplace in an effort to locate the Coral, a rare energy source that has resurfaced on the ashen planet of Rubicon 3. Taking up the mantle of the mercenary 621, you’re thrust into an intergalactic war for the substance, competing with countless other extra-terrestrial corporations and resistance groups. Director Masaru Yamamura stressed that while Armored Core 6 Fires of Rubicon takes heavy knowledge from its years of experience in souls-like titles, at its core, the gameplay loop is still focused on customisation – specifically, assembling the mechs and swapping out parts to fare better in battles.
Each AC unit is equipped with four weapons — one for each arm and shoulder — which is entirely your space to mess around with and fine-tune your battle style. Pick from projectile weapons like Gatling and energy guns, to pulse blades, shields, missile launchers, and more, in addition to dripping out your mechs in new colours and fashion by way of body modifications. Combat is way more fast-paced than the Soulsborne games, relying on both melee and long-range attacks that help dispatch ingeniously designed bosses that scream FromSoftware DNA. Battle huge combat helicopters and armoured mobile turrets using the new Assault Boost to quickly close distance by swooping in, before landing a finishing blow. It’s easily the best-looking mech game to come out in years.
Goodbye Volcano High
When: August 29
Where: PC, PS4, PS5
High school is a time of hope and uncertainties, as you struggle to figure out what you want out of life before graduation. But, what if that time is cut short by an oncoming asteroid that is sure to cause mass extinction? That’s the premise of Goodbye Volcano High, a cinematic narrative adventure set in a world of anthropomorphic dinosaurs, where Fang and the members of her band VVORM Drama choose to make an impact during the final year. Much of the gameplay revolves around character interactions — specifically in a visual novel format, where choices seem to have a major impact on relationships. What will you do at the end of an era? Confess feelings to your crush, fix family issues, or compose the greatest song ever?
The music sections are fashioned after rhythm games, whereby timing button inputs and moving sticks in a specific way lets you strum guitars and bang drums to the tune of your vocals. By writing songs and trying out different instruments, you can create original tracks to best suit your emotional soundtrack that conveys what the end of the world means to you. During downtimes, immerse yourself in Fang’s day-to-day interactions online via dino-themed social media and text messages, which will progress relationships. All of this is presented in beautiful hand-drawn art that mimics playable cartoons from your childhood, albeit in a more tear-jerking manner. | <urn:uuid:e0c2b246-445c-4049-975a-b1cce61183c4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://aoplweb.in/baldurs-gate-iii-armored-core-vi-fires-of-rubicon-and-more-new-games-on-pc-ps4-ps5-switch-xbox-one-xbox-series-s-x-in-august/ | 2024-04-17T10:04:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.942322 | 2,512 |
The mission of the Light and Salt Association (LSA) is to provide quality health care to the needy and vulnerable, promoting healthy living, and fostering a sense of community responsibility in the greater Houston area since 1997. We work particularly among underserved first-generation immigrants within the Chinese community who tend to have limited English language capabilities and a low socio-economic status. Within this group, a primary focus is on cancer patients and their loved ones and caregivers. In 2018, we served 272 cancer patients and have a database of 1,123 patients and survivors.
The services we provide for or connect to cancer patients include, but aren’t limited to, healthcare system navigation, transportation and language assistance to treatment-related appointments, daily living and housing assistance, one-on-one peer support, in-person and online support groups, newsletters, and cancer educational materials. Our survivorship support programs are something that we’re particularly proud of. We adopt a “patient-centered” approach and believe cultural competence and sensitivity is incredibly important. Many cancer patients have said to us that they not only found an organization, but a family, a family they can trust and count on. They didn’t feel alone when undergoing the lengthy and tough journey towards getting better.
Many of our volunteers have been cancer patients or family members of cancer patients themselves. They came back to lend their first-hand experience to serve others with similar situations. We’ve been blessed with the support of the Chinese community, in particular the churches, within the greater Houston area. Our goal is to further improve and expand on our services to reach more of the underserved Asian American communities.
Light and Salt Association (Houston, TX) is a one of APPEAL’s network partners under the ASPIRE grant (Cooperative Agreement Number, NU58DP006490, funded by the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention.) | <urn:uuid:e10038fa-93e0-481c-b636-70958ed16f97> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://appealforhealth.org/tag/cancer/ | 2024-04-17T09:39:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.943304 | 390 |

Scratch and dent appliances usually are not always at the forefront of retail marketplaces, yet they may be present in most cities with a little bit searching. In a economy where new, perfect and shiny things are a standard expectation, it may be a shock for some that any organization would even sell appliances which are damaged whatsoever, significantly less that anyone would purchase them. However, there are several reasons that such scratched and dented appliances happen, and so they have benefits to consumers willing to find them, which isn’t as hard as you may think. The next paragraphs cover every one of these topics, so please read on to learn some things that might benefit you.

Exactly Why Do Scratch And Dent Appliances Happen?
Appliances get scratched and dented for a variety of reasons. Damage in shipping or transit is a very common reason. Sometimes, they may be scuffed when getting positioned in a customer’s home or soon after these are purchased.

Reply To: persistent or annoying?
“Too busy” is pretty much a No. I would not waste another minute with a girl. Just because she talks on the phone with you doesn’t mean that she’s interested enough to get sexual with you. If a girl said that she was too busy to hang out, I would text her something like, “Well say hi when you’re less busy.” Then I would not contact her again unless she contacted me.
This is the danger with spending an hour talking on the phone with a girl, or spending too much time on a date with a girl. Just because she’s willing to spend time with you doesn’t mean she’s attracted to you. She could be lonely or she could just need validation. She could just be sitting in a park bored, waiting for her boyfriend to show up. A woman spending time with you doesn’t mean she’s attracted to you any more than a man fucking a woman means he likes her as a person. | <urn:uuid:25074d6d-5a66-4859-81d0-a165fec20645> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://approachanxiety.com/forums/reply/reply-to-persistent-or-annoying/ | 2024-04-17T10:04:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.983526 | 221 |

We didn't get there until about 2 so we were exiled to the overflow lot. It was a long walk to the fairgrounds. Very long.
The place was all decked out. The yarnbombers had been out in full force.
This year they were handing out the festival guides while gently asking for $5 donations. That's a deal. The festival was bigger and better than ever. I would have needed two whole days to take it all in. Next year.
The first place we went was to see the critters. It was a warm day. The poor woolly things looked miserable. I hate to see sheep panting.
It was too warm for my handknit socks or my shawl. The Mister wore the shawl and got lots of compliments. Next year I'll make him one. Ha.
My first purchase was food and drink. I had been in the ice rink all morning and I was starving.
Next we took a stroll through the main exhibit hall and the barns. Somewhere along the way we saw this shiny metal spinning wheel. How crazy is that? I also have to confess I spent more time looking at handmade soap than I did yarn. The yarn mojo just wasn't with me this year. It was too warm.
New to the fest were the buffalo folks. I'd love to have brought some of their fiber home but I would have needed a home equity loan. Pretty but pricey.
Then we headed up the hill to the garment and skein competition. This shawl won best in show. How gorgeous is this?
The teacher in me always gets a kick out of the poster competition. Don't you just love that sheep?
The Mister is fascinated by the auction. He wanted to bid on something this year but it's out of our league. You've got to know what you are doing. We don't so we just watched in awe. It was quite a show.
All the way to the fairgrounds, on our long walk, I promised The Mister I wouldn't buy anything I couldn't carry around because there was no question of going back to the car. Then I made the mistake of peeking into the empty fleece sale. Look at all those orphan bags of fluff waiting sadly for their furever home.
Yep. That's The Mister heading up the hill on the long walk to the car hauling 5.5 pounds of Texel on his back. I've never worked with Texel before so it's going to be this year's TdF adventure.
Texel is not particularly soft wool but it looks like it's going to be fun to wash.
The walk wasn't all bad. We were on some kind of trail by the spooky farm museum that's across the road.
Here is an artful pose of my basket of goodies and the shawl I slaved to finish in time then never wore.
What I wanted and walked my legs off to find was some plum colored fiber. This will be next year's shawl. I was all jazzed up about the early morning birth of the new princess so I had pink on my mind and this is as close to pink as I want to get.
Then for some inexplicable reason I bought some Malabrigo sock yarn in these dark, dreary colors. It seemed like a good idea at the time but next to the socks I made from last year's sock yarn haul I have to wonder what I was thinking. I could have done better.
On the long way home I began to spin for next year's shawl. It seems like a long way away. | <urn:uuid:c93fc9db-f632-4fab-b435-b230cf157f78> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://araigneestangledweb.blogspot.com/2015/05/mdsw-2015-plum-crazy.html | 2024-04-17T08:56:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.991893 | 754 |

Starting from August 15, citizens from Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the U.K., Russia, Japan, South Korea, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Belarus are allowed to stay for 45 days from the time of entry, triple the period given earlier.
In the first seven months of this year, the number of South Korean visitors to Vietnam reached 1.88 million, recovering only around 79% of pre-pandemic levels, according to statistics from the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism.
Japanese tourist arrivals only recovered over 50% while Western European visitors were around 80% of pre-pandemic levels.
Before the pandemic, Russia used to be Vietnam tourism’s sixth largest source of tourists.
However, Vietnam has so far received 69,800 Russian tourists, around 20% of pre-pandemic levels, due to the impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war that resulted in flight suspension.
The U.K., France and Germany were Vietnam’s biggest sources of European tourists so far this year.
The EU market has a population of over 500 million and European travelers tend to stay much longer, often for two weeks or more.
Since 2005, Vietnam started offering visa exemption for visitors from Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland.
10 years later, the Vietnamese government continued waiving visas for citizens of five Western European countries including the U.K., France, Germany, Spain and Italy with a maximum stay of 15 days and has since then extended the policy.
However, many European tourists previously complained they always have a long vacation in Vietnam, especially during winter escape holiday but a 15-day stay was too short for them to explore the country.
Tourism insiders said the new visa extension policy would give a boost to the tourism industry and helps Vietnam to attract a large number of European tourists with high spending.
However, they said visa extension was not "a magic wand" to lure international tourists immediately and the tourism industry should improve tourism products and marketing policies

This post is about co-managing the Office click-to-run apps workload between Configuration Manager and Intune.
A co-managed device gives you the flexibility to use the solution that works best for your organization by allowing it to be managed concurrently with both Configuration Manager and Intune.
Lean more about co-management here: http://aka.ms/comanagement
When we talk about co-managing Office click-to-run apps workload, there are primarily two scenarios:
- Installation of O365 suite
- Update Management of O365 suite
1. Installation of O365 suite
For on-premise machines, you may like to deploy O365 suite directly from ConfigMgr by leveraging DP and cache mechanisms to save the network bandwidths.
Refer instructions for deploying O365 suite via ConfigMgr here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/deploy-office-365-proplus-with-system-center-configuration-manager
Internet facing devices are a good candidate to receive the Intune O365 suite directly from Office CDN (Content Delivery Network) over the internet. Autopilot deployments is a great example here.
Refer instructions for deploying the O365 suite installer via Intune here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/apps-add-office365
On a Co-Managed device missing Office 365 suite, when you move the Office Click to Run Apps Workload, you can no longer install the ConfigMgr version of O365 installers.
Typically, the ConfigMgr Application Deployment Evaluation Cycle hides the Office 365 Apps from Software center, but you may catch it before the evaluation and see the error above.
This behavior is due to a Global Conditon which blocks the installer on Co-Managed devices with O365 workload moved to Intune/Pilot.
Now if you launch Company Portal to install the Intune O365 suite, it won't be available either. You will see the message below.
This is an expected behavior, on an Intune managed device with ConfigMgr agent, you need to additionally move the Client Apps workload to view the Intune Apps via Company Portal.
The client apps workload is a pre-release feature. To enable it, see Pre-release features.
Now the Company Portal will list the available apps for install.
Starting ConfigMgr 1906, you can now configure different pilot collections for each of the co-management workloads. Using different pilot collections allows you to take a more granular approach when shifting workloads.
This ability works great for moving the O365 workloads based on scenarios where client originating from Internet will deploy O365 workloads from Intune and the one's which are expected to remain on-premises can be pushed via ConfigMgr.
2. Update Management of O365 suite
Now that we have deployed O365 suite, the next requirement is to ensure its managed with the desired tool meeting company requirements.
Typically, O365 suite deployed via ConfigMgr is managed and updated by ConfigMgr itself and the one deployed via Intune is managed and updated directly over the Internet via Office CDN (Content Delivery Network).
This is controlled by OfficeMgmtCOM which is configured and set to True for ConfigMgr installs.
There could be scenario's where you may have pushed O365 suite via ConfigMgr and would now like the O365 update's management via Intune over Office CDN. Another scenario could be where you deployed Office 365 via Autopilot as a Hybrid scenario where the device is domain joined and your requirement is the updates management is controlled on-premises via ConfigMgr.
Let's see how to achieve the requirements from the two scenarios above:
2.1 Switching O365 Updates management from ConfigMgr to Intune (Office CDN over Internet)
In this scenario you deployed the Office 365 suite from ConfigMgr and would like the updates management to be handled by Intune which will leverage the Office CDN over Internet instead of using on-premises infrastructure.
While IT Pros are always in control, Office 365 ProPlus is automatically kept up-to-date via evergreen model. IT Pros can offload servicing aspect of Office 365 ProPlus to Microsoft so they can focus on other duties removing repetitive tasks.
- Admins don't have to spend time developing processes to duplicate CDN content on-premises.
- Admins don't have to build processes to target software updates to collections. Each machine will pull updates on it's own.
- Aligns with “Modern Desktop” motion where machines are increasingly managed by Mobile device management (MDM) rather than on-premises solutions without requirement for any infrastructure.
- CDN supports a variety of advanced policies to control updates at granular level such as “delay downloading and installing updates for Office”, “prioritize BITS”, “Target Version”, “Update Channel”, “Update Deadline”. IT Pros can control updates effectively without the need for on-premises software.
- Leverages inbox task scheduler MicrosoftOfficeOffice Automatic Updates 2.0 to perform updates based on trigger mechanism (Weekly, At log on, On idle)
All you need is to move the Co-Management slider for Office Click-to-Run Apps. Starting 1906, if you have controlled this behavior to a subset of collection, you need to add the device to the respective collection.
Once the policies are processed, you may need a restart of the “Microsoft Office Click-to-Run Service” service. You will notice Office is no longer managed by ConfigMgr which clears the yellow background.
It is now updated via Office CDN.
On the device registry, it sets the OfficeMgmtCOM value to 0 in the following registry keys:
2.2 Switching O365 Updates management from Intune (Office CDN over Internet) to ConfigMgr
In this scenario, you deployed the Office 365 suite from Intune and would now like the updates management to be handled by ConfigMgr.
- Office 365 ProPlus updates can easily be included in the same software deployment as monthly Windows patch process. As a result, all existing business processes and change control can be aligned in the same manner as legacy MSI Office products.
- Clients will only pull down what's needed to update themselves from Distribution Point.
- SCCM Administrators can download cumulative build one time from the internet and then deploy to all distribution points so clients pull updates from intranet sources.
- Administrators can make deployment Available (optional where user is notified update)
- Administrators can make deployment Available for a period of time prior to Installation Deadline. In this scenario, Office 365 Client using OfficeMgmtCOM will pull deltas from distribution point prior to Installation Deadline and give user a chance to “Update now” via BizBar discussed above at a time which is convenient for them. This is especially important in a ever mobile world where machines are mobile and not powered on all the time. Further, IT Pros can get some early production validation as some subset of their population will update prior to Installation Deadline giving them advanced notification of any problems prior to broad deployment.
- Administrators can make deployment Available time and Installation Deadline the same time. SCCM will ensure update is downloaded and installed at Deadline. (additional details on user experience below)
- Administrators can enable SCCM features such as Peer Cache so clients can share content among themselves further reducing network WAN traffic. (Peer cache for Configuration Manager clients)
Create a Device Configuration Profile to configure Office 365 Client Management.
- From the Intune console, go to Device Configuration > Profiles
- Create a new profile
- Give a Name and choose Windows 10 and Later under Platform
- Choose Administrative Templates under Profile Type.
- Click Create
- Under Settings > Search for “Office 365 Client Management”
- Click to open Office 365 Client Management
- Toggle the setting to Enabled
- Click OK to save the changes.
- Click Assignment Tab and deploy this to a Device Group matching the Setting Type above.
Note: To successfully apply this policy on a Co-Managed device, make sure you move the Device Configuration workload to Intune/Pilot.
- From the Settings App you can verify the device received and applied the policy successfully.
The policy is written to this registry location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMDMWinsdevicesoftware/policies/microsoft/office/16.0/common/officeupdateofficemgmtcom
Additionally, you can validate it by launching any Office apps and by clicking File > Account the yellow bar with text “Updates are managed by your system administrator”
Another alternative to this approach of switching from Intune to ConfigMgr for O365 updates management is while creating the O365 Suite from Intune. Instead of using the wizard you can use your own Configuration.XML which includes OfficeMgmtCOM=TRUE

Taking the right steps following a flood
For over ten years, we’ve been helping homeowners, insurance companies and the firms that work for them to recover and reinstate homes after a flood.
After an escape of water (EOW), the most important thing is to stop the cause. Then the drying process can begin. It’s widely accepted that an empty room, with a greater air flow, will dry faster than a room full of furniture. This necessitates removing and storing salvageable items, so that remedial works can eventually be carried out.
Benefits of removing the contents from the house include:
- Faster drying time
- Reduced risk of secondary damage to furniture
- Safer work environment for tradesman
- Easier work environment for tradesman, often leading to a better finish
- Peace of mind knowing your items are securely stored
We offer a full packing, removal & storage service with no limit on storage period and the flexibility to work around the policy holder or other tradesmen’s needs. We are often able to attend the next day.
Every job is treated with respect and care with an awareness that often a certain level of urgency may be required to avoid further damage or delays to remedial works. | <urn:uuid:48c12f85-5002-4fe8-a523-1c43784dba2c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://arkinsureassist.com/services/flood/ | 2024-04-17T10:02:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.959169 | 255 |
Korngold, Schmidt - Music For Strings & Piano Left Hand / Fleisher
This ludicrous mock-crisis is tellingly exemplified by listening first to Korngold's sensual "Lied" (the Suite's fourth movement), the musical equivalent of death by chocolate, then to the homely tones - no less lovely in their way - of Schmidt's Adagio. Both tug insistently at the heart-strings, but they are very different. Korngold also gives us a purple-hued waltz and a pungent "Groteske" with a buttermilk centre. His is a music ripe to bursting point, though it is also wickedly subtle and immensely clever. Schmidt's first movement has a second set that could easily have strayed from an undiscovered Brahms sextet, with piano writing that is unexpectedly prophetic of Bartók's Third Concerto. His third movement opens like a Brahms piano miniature, and continues in the manner of Reger. Both works feature delightful finales, Korngold's being a set of variations on a tender theme.
Sony's stellar line-up gives Schmidt's Quintet the outing of its life: even now, I can't wait to replay the two middle movements. Fleisher's beautifully graded playing is granted affectionate support from Silverstein and his colleagues, supple but sweet-centred and very well balanced.

It was a warm meeting where Armenian community expressed the wish that the mission of Mr. Ambassador will be a successful one and he will have the full support of this small but strong and reputable community. | <urn:uuid:2bbac207-4fb8-4d7b-b62d-24680870a88c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://armconsulate.al/ambassador-extraordinary-and-plenipotentiary-to-the-republic-of-albania-tigran-mkrtchyan/ | 2024-04-17T10:14:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.962065 | 343 |
More and more senior citizen groups have formed in recent years to address the issues of elder loneliness and isolation.The trend of seniors living together is growing.
By just being in the public realm, such as when dining, strolling, or otherwise occupying themselves, individuals contribute to the betterment of their neighborhood.
Co-housing describes neighborhoods in which people live in shared dwellings. Contemporary condos often have parking garages, walkways, open areas, and gardens.
When it comes to commodities, neighbors often trade lawnmowers and gardening tools. People from many walks of life work together to plan and execute events in public locations.
In a cohousing community, everyone helps out to make life simpler for the others.
Steve Fisher, the eldest, was 80 years old and Steve Fisher, the youngest, was 63. Do you recall that we warned you about making this place your permanent residence in retirement?
Fisher gave up his career as a transportation designer to stay at home and raise his family. Each cohousing neighborhood also has detached homes.
The idea of cohousing is for people to spend less time alone and more time with their neighbors.
Connecting with one another and finding common ground on a variety of issues is crucial for a thriving community.
There is no need for anybody to feel shy among others or to pass the hat around for money since everyone has their own place to call home.
Cohousing communities encourage residents to work together to improve the quality of shared spaces. It is a popular meeting spot because of its closeness to nearby homes and businesses.
In this circle, you have widespread renown. Take them for who they really are on the inside. Friends. Having fun while playing with them is guaranteed.
It’s the complete antithesis of being on your own in the city, Fisher said.
Yoga classes, five kilometer treks, and potluck picnics are just a few examples of the enjoyable activities that may be done on group travels.
A co-housing community is a group of people who each have their own apartment but share other communal spaces such a kitchen, dining hall, and patio. | <urn:uuid:18170c18-0f38-434d-b37e-e9c73e66739a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://armcool.ru/there-has-been-a-significant-uptick-in-the-migration-of-retirees-to-areas-created-expressly-for-their-demographic/ | 2024-04-17T10:10:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.979979 | 439 |
Still cold and snowy here in Dublin and it seems as if the IMF has sent the UK some of the cold weather too as thanks for the billions you’ve contributed to our bailout. Hopefully it won’t affect the football later on – keep an eye on my Twitter as I’ll update there as soon as I see someone else give out the relevant info somewhere else.
If the game goes go ahead it looks as if we’re going to have a fairly strong attack. The boss says that Walcott and Bendtner will play and Robin van Persie looks as if he’ll be in action too:
Robin will certainly play, yes, but I haven’t decided my starting line-up yet. Theo Walcott and Nicklas Bendtner will be involved but I don’t want to give the team out. The only thing I can promise is that we will take the game seriously.
Fitness permitting I think we’d be mad not to start with all three. They need games, that’s for sure. Theo’s great start to the season was derailed by injury and he’s been unable to force his way back into the team due to the form of Samir Nasri. Bendtner and van Persie have spent a fair amount of time out and just need playing time now. How he goes about it remains to be seen. He could play a traditional 4-4-2 with van Persie and Bendtner up front and Theo on the right of midfield, or fiddle around with the forward three in the regular set up.
Theo could easily go left, van Persie plays on the right of the three for Holland regularly and Bendtner could be the middle man, although it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he used the latter two the other way around. It might be the Carling Cup but all three of them have points to prove tonight for different reasons so let’s hope we see them do that.
At the back Sebastian Squillaci is out with a little knee problem, meaning Koscielny and Djourou will play at centre-half, while Emmanuel Eboue has made a ‘miraculous’ recovery from his knee injury and will be involved. I have to say I’m slightly suspicious that an injury that might have seen him out for two months is better within a week but I suppose it’s welcome news and the Ivorian should start at right back.
Wojscez®© in goal, Gibbs at left back, Denilson, Rosicky and Wilshere in midfield should make up the rest of the team. I know he’s used Craig Eastmond in this competition this season but it’s a quarter-final and I still think the youngster is a bit out of his depth at this moment in time. I’d have strength on the bench too. This is a competition we should take seriously and if we need to call on the quality of Nasri, Arshavin etc then we should be able to do that. A fluttering of youth too, I suspect JET will get a place on the bench along with Carlos Vela.
We’ve got some history with Wigan in this competition. In the final season at Highbury they scored a gammy goal late on to knock us out in the semi-final and then went on to get spanked by United in the final. It should have been us that got spanked in the final, so we owe them one tonight. On their day they’re a decent enough team so there can be no taking this lightly.
Let’s put November to bed with a good home win and good performance. We need to start making the Grove a difficult place for teams to come again and with a place in a semi-final up for grabs there should be no lack of motivation or spirit this evening. Fingers crossed it goes ahead.
In other news it’s interesting to note the brother of Carlos Vela speak at the end of the Guardian piece linked above. He says:
He just wants the chance to show what he can do for Arsenal and maybe if that doesn’t happen, he will think about his future. Important clubs are interested in his services. Now he has a European passport, it could open the market for him.
We’ve been used like a Peruvian who marries an Irishman she met in a chat room just so she can get a European passport! In seriousness though, his future looks quite uncertain. If you need a guy to come on and score a nice goal when the team are already cruising then Carlos is your man. If you need to bring on a player to help win or save a game when the chips are down then he’s about the last person you’d think of.
He’s barely been involved in recent weeks and when he is he hardly looks as if he’s busting a gut to show what he can do. Unless this is him showing what he’s willing to do so he can get a move somewhere warmer. I have to say I’d be inclined to say ‘Adios and don’t let the enchiladas hit you on the way out’ but he’d probably just eat the enchiladas. All we can judge him on are his performances and on that basis they just haven’t been good enough to suggest he’s got a real future at Arsenal.
Aaron Ramsey played about half an hour for Nottingham Forest last night as they were beaten 1-0 by Leicester City. I flicked over and watched bits of it between laughing my hole off at Mourinho and he looked ok, somewhat smaller than I remember and a player in need of games. Despite my initial fears I don’t suppose it will do him any harm at all to get match fit before returning to us in January.
And finally for today, I sent out the call, went to the top of a tall building and illuminated the Arseblog equivalent of the bat symbol (instead of a bat it’s an image of a pregnant lemur breast feeding an adoptive kitten) and lo and behold Leopold answered.
He’s been answering some readers emails as his sack was throbbing. He’d be happy to answer more questions too, his email address is the bottom of the new piece on the real ANR.
So that’s that. All going well and the snow not affecting tonight’s match I’ll be doing a live blog of the game. Check back in later on for a new post giving you details of that. | <urn:uuid:3402e1f3-b138-4dc0-adb4-45263a200d24> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://arseblog.com/2010/11/wigan-preview-carlos-faila-leopold-returns/ | 2024-04-17T10:06:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.970179 | 1,398 |
Unfortunately Mrs. Bracha Katz’s father passed away today, and she and her husband, Rabbi Moshe Katz, will be in New York for the funeral and shiva. We join all their friends and students in extending our deepest, heartfelt condolences, and pray that G-d comfort them among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
Rabbi Katz asked me (Rabbi Doni Deutsch) to write today and tomorrow’s Torah Minute. I pray that it be a merit for the soul of his late father in law, Mr. Judah Cohen z”l.
… As we read through the creation story, we notice a short phrase repeated over and over.
“G-d said: Let there be light’. “G-d said: Let the waters gather …”. And so on.
… The power of speech. It’s G-d’s tool for creation.
It’s a short phrase, but an extremely important one. Especially in light of something else we find in the creation story.
Something that is the most important and most powerful description of human beings ever written.
“G-d created man in His Image“.
Obviously it doesn’t mean G-d’s physical image. That man looks like G-d.
Because if we taught the world anything, it’s that G-d is not physical, not limited, not mortal.
Instead, the Image of G-d, means that G-d gifted us with some G-dly qualities.
That we have certain qualities through which we are like G-d.
Perhaps in a future Minute we’ll take a deeper look at some of those similarities.
Today? Let’s just focus on one basic one.
… It’s not only G-d Who creates – or destroys – thorough His speech.
We do as well. All the time.
… They say, ‘Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me.’
It’s so not true!
Sticks and stones hurt – but the hurt can go away.
Say the wrong thing– and you can destroy a person.
Say the right thing? Use our Divine gift of speech to build people up? To put a smile on their face?
… And we can literally create a world.
As The Book of Proverbs teaches: Life and death are in the hand of the tongue.
… Life and death. Literally.
I hope you have a great day, and may we know only of simchas (joyous occasions). | <urn:uuid:72a7f5db-f339-4278-b019-f4ee35a8af8f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://articles.torahnetwork.org/ctn-torah-minute-february-24-2004/ | 2024-04-17T08:29:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.935774 | 560 |

School of Fish Crosswalk 3
Implemented as part of the City of Long Beach North PBNIS (Place Based Neighborhood Improvement Strategy) project. The Starr King/College Square neighborhood is located directly adjacent to the Long Beach/Compton border, and the community wanted imagery that reflects and welcomes you to Long Beach. The fish in the crosswalks are swimming south, toward the ocean, joining pedestrians on their voyage across the street, increasing their safety. Drivers are made aware of potential pedestrian crossings by seeing a contrasting bright blue, white, and black crosswalk from afar.

Russell Wilson will Start for Broncos in Preseason Kickoff Game, Head Coach Sean Payton Says
NFL teams dislike preseason games because elite players can be hurt in meaningless play.
In recent years, teams have sat their starters until the last exhibition game or skipped the preseason.
Coaches that say they'll play their starters before the season are shocking.
Even more surprising is that an elite quarterback will play in the first preseason game.Broncos fans, hold on.
New Denver head coach Sean Payton shocked the sports world on Saturday by announcing that Russell Wilson and other starters would play in the Broncos' preseason opener at the Cardinals on Friday.
Payton said Mike Klis of 9News, “I haven’t shelled it out yet but they’re going to play. “I haven’t counted snaps. How many snaps? I took notes. No pitch count.”
When pressed, Peyton surprised the reporters by including his star quarterback in the lineup.Wilson is a player, Payton said.
Playing important starters in the preseason is a risky move for a team trying to turn things around after missing the playoffs since 2015.

Why do infants need energy work?
Some have asked, what kind of distress could an infant have? No matter what age- infants, children, or adults- can pick up on other’s energies, whether calm and relaxed, or nervous and frazzled.
Childbirth, even easy ones are traumatic. Imagine being thrown out of your warm, protected environment into a cold expansive world. No wonder they like to feel swaddled and cuddled. I like to use energy to give them a sense of security as I work with the chakras. In turn, it allows more free-flowing movement in these energy centers with a feeling of balance, peace, and calm.
If parents are under stress, I recommend they have sessions, too, which is why this particular offer includes Mom or close caregiver.
To begin an infant session, a consultation with a parent will decide the best plan of action.
Generally, the best time for me to do distance sessions with young ones is during sleep. They can rest and allow the body to reset.
One session is enough for some, while others might take several sessions to achieve desired results. I recommend a series of at least three sessions, so energy pathways have a chance to retrain. As with any training practice, the body holds the memory of the new desire longer.
- 6-20 minute sessions
- Intended to be used as 2 sessions per week for 3 weeks or 1 session a week for 6 weeks
- 15-minute consultation before the first session
- 15-minute follow-up consultation within 1 week after the final session
- One email per week within the package duration (used to monitor progress) | <urn:uuid:4f5d4ba9-1c42-49fe-b541-32e4e68a7404> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ascensionschoolofspirituality.com/offering/energy-for-baby-me/ | 2024-04-17T08:56:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.935288 | 346 |

Cambodia: union leader bail denied (Update)
- Initial Date
- Dec 5, 2022
- Event Description
Chhim Sithar will remain in pretrial detention for incitement after the Phnom Penh Municipal Court turned down the casino union leader’s appeal for bail, a rights group said.
Sithar was arrested late last month after returning from an overseas labor conference.
Initially arrested in January over ongoing worker protests against NagaWorld, she was released on bail after promising she would stop participating.
Licadho, a local human rights NGO, said on Monday that its lawyer, who was part of Sithar’s legal team, had received a notice from the court today that she would remain in detention.
Sithar was rearrested at the Phnom Penh airport after returning from Australia. Authorities said she had been banned from traveling as part of her earlier bail conditions, but her defense has said they had not been told of the restriction.
Another of her lawyers, Sam Chamroeun, said he was busy Monday afternoon and could not immediately comment.
NagaCorp laid off 1,300 workers amid Covid-19 and is accused of union-busting for targeting labor leaders who the workers say should have been protected from termination.
More than 100 workers continue to resist their terminations as the protests against the Phnom Penh casino reach almost one year.
Dozens of protesters stood outside NagaWorld in orange prison jumpsuit-like outfits on Monday in support of Sithar, a live video by worker Mam Sovathin showed.
In addition to several union leaders like Sithar who still face incitement charges, some others have been questioned over an unclear NagaCorp court complaint about alleged breaking and entering. Unionists have also been summoned to testify over the company’s request for a court ruling on the protracted labor dispute.

The introduction of Sage Exchange changes the way that credit card transactions are processed in Sage 100 ERP beginning with Version 2013. It not only provides enhanced credit card security and Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance, Sage Exchange also introduces new card swipe capabilities, mobile payment features, and other credit card processing enhancements that we’ll take a closer look at in this article.
Enhanced Credit Card Security and PCI Compliance
Sage Exchange is cloud-based technology that provides the integration between your Sage 100 ERP system and Sage Payment Solutions, where credit card transactions are processed online.
It also provides a connection to the Sage Exchange Vault. This secure cloud-based vault stores sensitive credit card information online and outside of your Sage 100 ERP system. By doing so, all credit card information is removed from your database which reduces fraud exposure and simplifies PCI compliance. However, it does not eliminate the potential need for Sage 100 ERP customers to perform an annual PCI compliance audit.
For added cardholder security, Sage 100 ERP 2013 also allows a “one-time use” credit card for payment transactions without saving any credit card information.
New Payment Options, Including Mobile
New card swipe capabilities have been truly integrated so that payment processing is built into the normal Sage 100 ERP workflow, which can replace the disconnected card swipe system that you might be using today.
New Sage Mobile Payments is ideal for companies with a mobile sales force or service providers that collect fees on the go. Simply launch the app from your Smartphone or tablet, choose an existing customer, and select the invoice to pay. And with a Sage Mobile card swipe device connected, you can swipe the customer’s credit card onsite and present a touch screen for signature and approval.
Lastly, Sage 100 ERP 2013 provides the ability to accept credit card payments for services rendered at the time of Accounts Receivable invoice creation for the invoice total, without requiring the use of Sales Order.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to contact us if you’re currently using a third party credit card merchant.
Your integration options may be affected by the change in the way that credit card data is stored in Sage 100 ERP 2013. | <urn:uuid:0baac861-39f6-4f25-9cff-4dd4c718545a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://asifocus.com/blog/credit-card-processing-changes-in-sage-100-erp-2013/ | 2024-04-17T10:08:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.921135 | 448 |

Becoming an actor takes time and persistence. Even if you are a talented performer, it’s essential to work on your skills and seek guidance. When it comes to acting, age is not a determinant of when to commence training for the career. Many children and adults dream of an acting career but it requires time, patience, dedication, skill, and talent. To excel as an actor, one must first start by nurturing their skills by participating in films to gain experience. However, one can start going for auditions for roles in movies even if he or she has little experience and knowledge.
Working on your body and voice is essential to help you stand out in your acting career. It would also help if you created a fantastic showreel and found a talent agent. You must also broaden your knowledge and invest in your acting resume. Here are tips to get you started on your acting career
Taking Professional Acting Lessons
One of the most essential things you can do as you start your acting career is taking some acting classes. If you haven’t heard any prior acting experience, it will take time to build your talent. It’s advisable to start with beginner acting classes until one is ready to move to a more advanced stage.
The benefits of acting classes are that it enables you to learn techniques, characterization, improvisation and overcoming stage fright. However, it’s crucial to note that real talent can’t be taught, and not everyone can become a professional actor. Numerous amateur actors think they will become superior actors with only a few weeks of training, but this is far from reality.
Reading Scripts and Plays
Acquiring the habit of reading plays and scripts will aid you in enhancing your imagination, as it helps you better your vocabulary and pronunciation. Gather a lot of theatre performances and films and analyze them. Comprehend good script analysis from beginning to finish and learn what makes a script ideal.
Discover What Makes Your Character Tick
To give life to a character, one has to define the characteristics and lifestyle that come with it. When an individual creates a personality, it’s necessary to be able to understand the role. This notion involves a lot of empathy and observation. It’s advisable to investigate the traits of a character; one should be able to explore life experiences and learn from the environment. Also, read lots of biographies and interview people to learn about their twists and turns in life.
Work on Your Body and Voice
The professional success of an actor depends on various factors, including creating a credible image. Due to this reason, when an actor graces the stage, he or she should have an attitude that describes the character. Their body presence will determine if he or she is shy, insecure, or nervous. For the voice, each character has their way of speaking that describes their profile and intentions. Nevertheless, every character should speak loud and clear to seek the attention of the audience.
Create a Memorable Showreel
A showreel is one of the most dominant tools for flaunting your acting skills. To create a showreel, you must show yourself acting in many ways and in a short amount of time. Depending on your preference, you can get a professional videographer to shoot the scenes and edit them or ask a friend to help you out.
Find a Talent Agent
One of the most fundamental things you can do as an actor is getting a good agent. However, find an acting agent can be extremely difficult, especially if you are new to the industry. The acting industry is immensely competitive, and if you are an amateur actor, it can be an overwhelming experience. Talent agencies require you to gauge your experience, and if you are a beginner, recommendations and references from organizations you have worked with before will do you a solid.
Broaden Your Knowledge
Taking acting lessons will help nurture your skills; however, expanding your knowledge will go a long way in establishing your acting career. Watch more films, go for plays in the theatre and study more books on cinema and acting.
Invest in Your Acting Resume
Like other jobs, actors need to have a resume that highlights their experiences and skills in acting. You can be able to gain experience through participating in school drama clubs, church organizations, and talent shows. It’s advisable that you also get engrossed in your acting career by experiencing life through activities such as traveling and volunteering. | <urn:uuid:fe20e23b-6206-4ec2-becd-0a694a4523e5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://askcorran.com/how-do-beginners-learn-acting/ | 2024-04-17T08:56:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.960896 | 902 |

Sunday 3rd November 2024
Pre-conference workshops take place the day prior to the main conference and can be booked at the same time as your conference registration.
If you would like to attend the Pre-conference workshops ONLY please contact [email protected].
Doing Simulation-Based Research
Professor Sharon Weldon and Colleagues
More information coming soon
The Tenses of Simulation: Past, Present, & Transformative
Andy Buttery, Phil Gurnett, Julie Mardon, Ken Spearpoint
“A tool to transform health & care through collective understanding, insight, and learning.”
In this workshop we ask you to bring Case Studies that are or may be TS.
*We will contact you between Booking and Conference to discuss any case studies you may be considering bringing to the discussion.
Thus we will ensure we have a suitable spread of content for the workshop, and that you are confident about your case studies offer.
Past: Work you have done that you would now argue could be regarded as TS.
Present: Work you are doing that you would now argue could be regarded as TS.
Transformative: Work you wanted to do, would like to do, plan to do, that you regard as TS.
Reminder: TS (defined above) is designed to:
İnnovate İmprove İntervene İnvolve İdentify İnclude İnfluence - the 7 SBIs
TS can deliver several of these outcomes in one event & includes specific simulation applications: (including)
translational simulation, simulation-based improvement, & simulation-based interventions.
We will discuss in plenum the current situation regarding Transformative Simulation and any issues, concerns, & expectations. Then in smaller groups we will discuss the case studies grouped by primary SBI.
We will then discuss in plenum “Work Done” – that is, case studies *confirmed Pre-Conference as TS and “Work as Imagined” – that is case studies of TS we have not yet done. This includes work that benefits from being considered from a TS Platform, or through a TS lens.
The workshop will use TS Principles and the 7 SBIs to analyse, learn, and extrapolate.
We aspire to the workshop providing a major contribution to the field that can be built upon in the ASPiH TS SIG and may offer an opportunity for an eventual publication in IJoHS reporting on TS Work Done & the benefits of addressing simulation design from a TS perspective.
We look forward to hearing about your work, discussing it from a TS perspective, and – especially – taking this forward.
Simulate to Accelerate: Reduced time to capability through accelerated learning by NHS Scotland Academy, Innovation and Learning
Clair Graham, Lauren-Grace Kirtley, Darren Middleton, Catie Paton
This pre-conference workshop will explore how multi-modal simulation has been utilised to accelerate workforce training programmes to address workforce requirements in NHS Scotland.
As part of this workshop delegates will understand the underlying educational principles of accelerated learning programmes and explore the use of different types of simulation in accelerated learning.

Learning to correctly install a hot water baseboard heater is a technical skill that requires a lot of practice, precise instructions and expert guidance. Most home owners are unable to carry out the entire process on their own and given the dexterity required to be able to complete the task properly and without any flaws, the general opinion is that one should hire the services of a professional for installing a hot water baseboard heater in the house.
However, if you are handy with tools and have some fundamental technical know how and have undertaken other do it yourself projects around the house of similar difficulty levels it might be a good idea to try this out as well.
One can ask a professional to oversee the process to ensure that nothing goes drastically wrong- giving one a chance to complete the project on your own and save a lot of money without incurring any serious damages.
Step 1: Deciding the Heater Location
Choose the position of the heater. Ideally these kinds of heaters are best placed on walls that are devoid of any big furniture pieces such as sofas, pull out beds or even regular beds with headboards.
Step 2: Finding the Studs
The next step is to find the studs in the wall. This can be done by using a stud finder. Once the studs have been located, use a pencil to measure the dimensions of each stud.
Step 3: Extracting the Face Plate
The baseboard heater has a face plate attached to it. This has to be extracted so that one can reach the screw mounting holes that are found at the posterior end of the heater.
Step 4: Aligning the Holes
Place the heater such that the screw holes lie in the same plane as the wall studs. The holes should be arranged in a line directly with the wall studs and the baseboard heater should be mounted into position such that every foot of the heater’s body is supported by one screw.
Step 5: Input and Output Pipe
The fifth step is to use a pencil to note the positioning of the input pipe and the output pipe. The 1 inch hole saw should be used for making a hole in the positions of these 2 pipes.
Step 6: Installing the Heater into Place
The last step is to hold the baseboard heater into place and use the 2 inch drywall screws for securing it into place. Experts advise installing the screws directly into the wall studs for heightened support.
Remember that before fiddling about with anything of an electrical nature, it is wise to turn off the power supply at the circuit board. Test the heater correctly after installing it and should everything be fine, keep an eye on it for the next couple of days. If after a few days, everything works fine, you can consider the job complete. | <urn:uuid:768c9c4d-d5e0-4a7c-b6eb-b4835d8aa181> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://assets.doityourself.com/stry/how-to-install-a-hot-water-baseboard-heater | 2024-04-17T08:08:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.939006 | 566 |

Who: Jacen and Allana
What: Family bonding time, aka flow walking back to a traumatic life event and restoring Allana to the Force. Is this...not how your family bonds?
Where: Tenel Ka and Jacen's apartment
When: Evening of January 25th
Warnings: Not exactly happy times, but it shouldn't scar you for life.
Allana had been waiting when her father had come home from work, sitting on the couch and flipping through channels on the television so rapidly that the soundtrack didn’t have time to start before the next number flickered in the corner of the screen, the next half-formed picture started to unfurl itself into being like a flare of light. Without sound or a settled image the light from the television had been like a signal beacon, flashing in bursts of light, meaningless morse code dances. I should tell him I changed my mind. I should turn off the TV and get a book and go back to my room, I should- but her thumb had kept pressing down convulsively, again and again, like a tic. This is ridiculous, I’m about to get back a power that you need an entire code to regulate, and I can’t even sit and wait without developing a twitch. Very promising.
Then the front door had opened and she had clicked the remote quickly, set it down on the table and turned a suddenly impassive face towards her father. Her grandmother had once told her, back home, back when she had lessons on such things, that when you were in a situation where you were afraid your voice would break you should say nothing, and comport yourself in such a way that you seemed to disdain to speak. She had remembered that and kept her lips pressed together, merely raised her eyebrows slightly at her father and inclined her head in a slight nod, afraid that if she spoke the words would have been, “Never mind, I can’t.”
She hadn’t been sure. Even as she’d agreed to it she hadn’t been sure. It still seemed too big a risk, too high a price if even one person was harmed because she’d taken the Force back. Still, her conversation with her mother had helped convince her that this was what she had to do. She couldn’t make herself stay isolated from her friends and family, even if she had managed it most days she knew she would run back the moment there was a crisis, and she’d already seen that all the warnings in the world weren’t going to make her friends greet her with constant suspicion. The only thing she could do, she had finally realized, was the hardest thing of all – accept that she couldn’t control this, not entirely, and merely try to live her life the best she could, with as little fear as possible. She had been reading the Code, meditating on it in the awkward way of someone unused to taking the topic as seriously as she should have, and she’d found unexpected comfort in it. Her father criticized it and her aunt rebelled against it from time to time, she knew they both found it harsh, too limiting, but she’d begun to think that maybe they needed that, or she did anyway. A reminder of limits, of boundaries and rules.
Still, she hadn’t been sure. Luckily Jacen Solo had commanded troops, and rallying one more gun shy apprentice-level Jedi was not beyond his capabilities. Even uncertain she had gone back with him. Back into the dream, where she’d forced herself not to turn away as she watched everything unfold again. First the old nightmare, Jaina and Ben justifiably turning on her, and then Lucifer’s appearance, which was hard enough, especially with a passenger along for the ride into her private fears. Then she watched herself argue and debate, and ultimately crumble. Heard Lucifer’s words again as he circled her dream self:
“You won't see me coming. You won't know when I'm coming either, try as you might to reach out and find me with your power. You know this to be true, Allana, because I was able to slip into your mind so very easily tonight without you noticing me until it was too late…I'll whisper a suggestion. Just one. And from that point onward, everyone and everything that you love will wither and die at your hand. You can try everything in your power to stop me. You can confide in your friends and family for advice on how to block me from your mind, you can put up every defense in your power, you can warn everyone in advance and pray that it will be enough, but it won't be. I'll take my time. I'll make sure that they're not ready.”
He was right, she’d thought, her foundation of meditation and determination crumbling and whisking away as easily as sand. What am I doing, he was right. I can’t- but there was no time, they’d been back in her apartment as suddenly as waking up, and she’d watched herself sit up in bed, oblivious to Daisy’s howling, hands clutching compulsively at her blankets and sheets for purchase. She’d watched as she’d ripped herself out of the Force fueled by sheer terror of a power that had always been a part of her.
And then it was over, and she was sitting on the couch in the living room of her parents’ apartment and her first thought was, how did I spill something on my hands? I wasn't holding a drink or anything. Then she looked down at her hands and blinked, dazed as someone who really had just woken up from a dream, when she saw that they were clenched into fists, as stiff as if they’d aged suddenly into arthritis. Blood welled, slow and thick and lazy, where her nails dug into her palms. Oh she thought, and then clenched her fists tighter anyway, afraid that if she let go now she’d lose control entirely. | <urn:uuid:7c36f406-6b1d-4c5f-9d30-47d8fabe34d2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://asylums.insanejournal.com/wariscoming/449671.html?thread=3824519 | 2024-04-17T09:57:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.989011 | 1,318 |
Recently Scott and I stopped by Potted in Atwater Village on the way to Costco.
Even more recently we stopped by the new Rolling Greens on Beverly near the Grove. Potted is a little smaller and funkier. Rolling Greens has an amazing space (a former auto body shop that I knew all along would make a great retail space).
Potted has a large selection of fountains where Rolling Greens seems to have the largest supply of fake succulents I have ever seen.
Potted is a bit more colorful retro whereas Rolling Greens is a bit more whitewashed shabby chic. In any case, I think Potted is more my vibe, but both are great sources of fun plants and garden accessories. Who would you vote for? | <urn:uuid:b9202f47-612d-44e4-8064-cd695b442d7b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://atelierdavis.com/battle-of-the-garden-stores/ | 2024-04-17T08:25:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.973561 | 153 |
Among the benefits of consuming peanuts is one that resonates with nearly absolutely everyone (and makes all and sundry happy, if they love—and until now eschewed—peanuts): peanuts can assist with weight loss.
No, I’m not going to existing yet another crazy fad diet, like consume unlimited quantities of peanuts and peanut butter and you’re assured to drop 10 kilos in one week.
Eating peanuts while you are making an attempt to lose weight seems like an oxymoron, right?
When I instructed my pal Isabelle about the connection, she eyed me skeptically. So I advised her to make positive to read this put up for some solid information.
• Since peanuts and peanut butter are packed with fiber and protein, they hold you comfy and full for a long time, supporting to manage your hunger.
• Because of their protein and fiber, peanuts and peanut butter will stick with you for about 2 1/2 hours vs. the half of hour you may get from high-carbohydrate foods, according to one study.
• Peanuts can make bigger your metabolic rate. When researchers studied resting strength expenditure on peanut and peanut butter eaters, they discovered that it was once eleven percent greater after ordinary peanut consumption for 19 weeks in contrast to the baseline.
• The fats in peanuts (the “good fat”) offers satiety and taste satisfaction, so you don’t experience deprived.
• Since peanuts stabilize your blood sugar with their low glycemic index (meaning they are digested greater slowly and release sugar progressively into the bloodstream), they furnish long-lasting strength and limit cravings. | <urn:uuid:ead9ed53-e07f-4fab-b799-817d5f436a73> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://atimetoshop.com/diet/lose-weight-with-peanuts-for-5-reasons/ | 2024-04-17T09:54:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.946463 | 339 |
Pharrell Williams is more than “happy” after receiving yet another doctorate degree.
The record producer was presented with the honorary doctorate degree after giving a speech to the 400 students graduating from Norfolk State University in Virginia. But the surprise did not stop there. Javaune Adams-Gaston, university president, also named Williams as an honorary band member of the Spartan Legion Band, which ultimately moved him to tears.
Williams, who is from Virginia himself, began the commencement speech by encouraging the students and talking about his own experience with the institution. He said, “I didn’t attend Norfolk State, but I was always present. The pull of the green and the gold is strong. I am honored to have made this part of my work, my story, and still today, I can’t wait to see how far you amazing, impressive graduates of Norfolk State … how far you’ll go.”
The 48-year-old went on to explain to the students why their next steps should be to invest in local business and also explained why the word “minorities” should be eradicated. He said, “We are the emerging majority. Don’t wait until Election Day. Vote with your wallets today, tomorrow, and the next day. Does the business owner look like you? Shop there.”
This is not the first time Williams has been honored with a doctorate degree. Four years ago, he spoke at New York University’s graduation and applauded the students for being pioneers in change that was taking place regarding social justice and equal rights for women.
He said, “Your generation is unraveling deeply entrenched laws, principles and misguided values that have held women back for far too long and, therefore, have held us all back. Imagine the possibilities when women are not held back. The world that you will live in that will be a lot better. This is the first generation that navigates with the security and confidence to treat women as equals.”

Mufasa the mountain lion was released from his chain stores after 20 years of being compelled to perform for a Peruvian sideshow.
Wild creatures in circuses are prohibited in Peru. Nevertheless, when the law was first put in place, most circuses ignored it and continued to use feral creatures in their acts.
This was the case with Mufasa, who was shackled to a lorry. Mufasa had to spend the next 20 years locked up.
Luckily, the task of Animal Defenders Intl was to rescue all animals in captivity from Peruvian circus acts.
And, fortunately, they did. She was the last wild creature to be saved as a result of their tenacity.
The the last circus was eventually backed into a corner, and Mufasa was able to be forcibly removed from his chain stores after a spectacular stand-off, so strenuous that violence police were dispatched.
Mufasa, on the other hand, was in no condition to be released into the wild because he had been shackled his entire life.
As a result, he was relocated to a shelter in the Peruvian woods, where a casing was constructed for him.
Sadly, Mufasa died in December after only a few months of liberty.
Mufasa’s life in the sideshow had done extensive damage to his health, including being chained to the mattress of a pick-up lorry, and he was handling with kidney damage and other age-related concerns. | <urn:uuid:04bc52e5-4b74-49f6-a9b2-315410e0e680> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://atraverslesport.com/2023/06/03/when-a-mountain-lion-who-had-been-chained-for-20-years-is-finally-released-he-has-an-incredibly-touching-reaction/ | 2024-04-17T10:51:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.99409 | 306 |

Karachi July 13 2021: State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) recognizes that effective and efficient Consumer Grievance Handling Mechanism (CGHM) is a crucial element of Fair Treatment of Consumer (FTC) regime. Accordingly, various measures have been taken by SBP to enhance responsible complaint handling by the banks/MFBs/DFIs (hereinafter referred as banks) like issuance of detailed guidelines on consumer grievances handling mechanism, introduction of conduct assessment framework, supervisory assessments of complaint handling and increased consumer awareness. Recently, a detailed review of complaint handling practices at banks was also conducted focusing on the qualitative aspects of ‘ease of lodgment’, ‘capacity and resources’, ‘recording and processing’ and ‘monitoring’. In light of the review, following instructions on the consumer grievance handing mechanism are being issued.
A L S O || R E A D
- In order to enhance ease in complaint lodgment, banks are advised to ensure that following mandatory modes are available for complaint lodgment at all times for convenience of the customers:
- Call Center
- Surface Mail
- Complaint boxes/Registers
- In addition to mandatory modes of complaint lodgment, banks are encouraged to invest and focus on adopting innovative modes of complaint lodgment that best suit their customer profile e.g. complaints lodgment through SMS/ call back service/ mobile application, self-service kiosks, social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook and WhatsApp, etc. Moreover, the consumers who have no customer relationship with the bank should not be refused to lodge a complaint relating to a bank service for which a bank account is not required.
- In addition to the existing requirements of consumer awareness about complaint lodgment and handling procedures, banks will send SMS atleast on bi-annual basis to all of their customers specifically informing them about the modes of complaint lodgment.
- All complainants must be provided with complaint tracking number through SMS and emails. The tracking number must not be given through calls alone. Further, it should preferably be auto generated. Similarly, the complainants must be adequately informed about the modes through which they can track status of their complaints.
- The resolution of the complaints/ final replies should be centralized so that the nature of disposal/ decision made can be tracked for analysis. It is encouraged if the same is entered in or integrated with Complaint Management System (CMS). Further, final responses must be communicated in writing and not only through calls, especially in cases where the complaint is declined. In case of complaint lodged in Urdu, the banks are advised to respond in the same language.
- The regulatory returns template prescribed under BC&CPD Circular No. 1 of 2016 have been revised in light of the need for improved data quality and industry feedback. The revised complaint categories must be adopted as bare minimum requirement. In case of more categories defined by the banks internally, same must be mapped with regulatory categories for reporting purposes for consistency and accuracy. The classification of complaints in appropriate category should be monitored regularly. The change in category of complaint in the CMS may be allowed with caution so that it may be reviewed by senior officer in hierarchy and corrective action may be taken later, where required. Further, the quarterly reporting on the aforementioned templates must be submitted to Director, Banking Conduct & Consumer Protection Department after review and endorsement by FTC owner of the bank and Head of Compliance respectively.
- The banks should segregate the categories of complaints in major and minor nature. These should be properly incorporated in CMS and the Turn Around Time (TAT) should also be monitored accordingly. The major categories of complaint may be those that require more than 7 working days for resolution as per the turnaround time requirement given in BC&CPD Circular No. 1 of 2016, whereas, minor categories may be resolved within 7 working days. Banks may further bifurcate minor nature of complaints into two categories. i.e. a) Resolution within 3 working days b) Resolution within 7 working days. The complaints that may be categorized to be resolved within 3 working days may include small issues like non-delivery of statement of account, activation of account/ internet banking, chequebook issuance, change of address, etc.
- Banks will ensure that the complaint handling function/ department is adequately supported in terms of human resources, IT needs, trainings, etc.
- Banks should ensure availability of feedback mechanism on complaint resolution and grievance handling mechanism.
- The compliance of the above instructions should be ensured by September 30, 2021. Further, the revised template attached herewith must be submitted within 15 days after close of each quarter. The first data on revised templates will be submitted by January 15, 2022 based on data for December Quarter 2021.

With different sorts of tents available on market it is a problem when selecting which type tent rightly for your purpose depending on some factors namely size and its type as discussed in details below.
Here is a list of the Best 2 Man Tent
Image | Best 2 Man Tent | Rating |
Two factors to Consider When Choosing a 2 Man Tent:
The span of a tent is for the most part portrayed by the greatest number of individuals that can rest inside, for instance, you will see tents depicted as 2 men or 2 compartments. To identify the best tent for you, you should first consider the total number of individuals you need to house in that tent.
If you are in need of say keeping with you your package in the tent opt for say three man tent.
When in doubt, on the off chance that you anticipate keeping your pack in your tent as well, pick a tent that is one individual greater. In the event that there will be two grown-ups sharing, for instance, don't lift a pop up 2 man tent as space will be constrained, settle on a 3 or 4 man tent so there is a lot of space for you both to rest serenely.
For families a 6 man tent and upwards will give enough space so you won't feel like you're considering top of each other (which can test with children!). Greater tents are liable to have separate "rooms" so the children can have their own space.
It's conceivable to get a 10 man tent or even a 12 billet in the event that you have a major gathering. Keep in mind, however, the greater the tent the harder it will be to set up and the more space it will take up in the auto. In the event that you will stroll to the campground, a greater tent will likewise be heavier to convey!
A one man tent is for the most part appropriate for single explorers or climbers who require a lightweight tent and don't have many packs with them.
Another thing to consider is the type of the tent you are after, below are some brands of tents available today.
2. Sorts of Tent
Edge, arch or passage? Pop-up or inflatable? There are such a large number of shapes and sorts of outdoors tents accessible. Here are the most well-known sorts of tent:
A-Frame or Ridge Tent
When you think about a conventional tent, you presumably picture an edge tent with shafts at every end and a bolster post over the top (the edge). They are easy to raise and the posts are inflexible making them entirely durable, however, they can be very massive and substantial. The state of the tent, even the bigger variants, means you can't generally effectively hover inside it.
Pop up Tents
As the name recommends pop up tents basically 'appear'. You may likewise see these sorts of tents depicted as moment or snappy pitch tents. They are perfect for individuals who have never set up a portable shelter. The posts are now collected and fitted into the tent fabric and once the spring casing is unleashed they for all intents and purposes simply appear without anyone else. Pop up tents are particularly mainstream for celebrations and as children play tents as they are so natural to pitch. Pop up tents are not reasonable for blustery conditions because of their adaptability.
Resettling a pop-up tent can be somewhat trickier, in case you're not certain how to do this – our article how to overlap up a pop-up tent may offer assistance.
The shafts on a passage tent will be angled over fit as a fiddle, as opposed to traverse each other. Whilst an arch tent could be unattached, a passage tent will dependably should be pegged down. They are for the most part taller than vault tents so you can stand up in them and are likely the most mainstream sort of family tent.
Inflatable, explode or air tents are a genuinely new development and are turning out to be progressively prominent predominantly in light of the fact that they are so easy to pitch. The tent is given its structure and unbending nature from air-filled tubes or pillars in spots of customary posts. The tubes are filled with valve/s utilizing a pump and most inflatable tents can be raised in a matter of minutes. An explode tent can however be substantial and more costly than a standard tent.
Geodesic is a scientific term, however when used to depict a tent it alludes to one that has jumbling posts that shape triangles at first glance. This structure implies that geodesic tents are steadier in great climate conditions, for example, on mountains or blustery, uncovered regions.
The Best 2 Man Tent, Their Features and What Makes Them the Best
1 - Mountain Hardwear Light Wedge 2
Rating: 4.8 / 5.0
The Light Wedge 2 is Mountain Hardwear’s ultra-light 2 men exploring tent.
What Makes it the Best
It the lightest of all of the group, however, it's produced using top-notch fabric, ultralight posts, and is completely tried to withstand any attack of downpour.
In case you're going ultralight, you won't have the accommodations of an auto outdoors tent and the Wedge is intended to be utilitarian and lightweight, not extravagant.
My most loved part: It has a dry vestibule section so you can sustain mud, flotsam, and jetsam, earth and snow out of your tent.
Other Advantages Include:
- 9 square foot vestibule
- 35 square feet space
- 4 pounds, 14 ounces
- Magnificent ventilation
- Lifetime guarantee and warrant
2 - Huge Agnes Seedhouse SL2
Huge Agnes tents are fabulous. Upon nearer examination, however, obviously, the Seed house is incomparable, lighter, and costs less, Essentially, the one favourable position of this tents the additional space. In any case, it measures more, consumes up additional space in your knapsack, and costs an additional 80 buckskins it justified, despite all the trouble? This tent is further unrivalled, ultralight hiking tent. Be that as it may, it is confined. You truly should be OK with your exploring accomplice, or you might be hopeless as the night progressed.
3 - Black Diamond Beta Light
Rating: 5.0 / 5.0
It is Light tent isn't precisely a tent. It's all the more an amazing covering.
What Makes it the Best
Weighs not exactly a bevy sack, however, offers of space 34.7 square feet
It is a 2 man hiking tent for 9.5 ounces for each individual!
Has a portion of the best surveys of any tent recently constructed.
In case you're in-your-face, I exceptionally suggest looking at this tent. You will love it.
By and by, it's excessively no-nonsense for me, however, I can deduce why numerous are pulled into it.
4 - Rei Quarter 2 Person Tent
Rating: 2.0 / 5.0
The REI Quarter Tent do not sustain all the ultralight outdoors tent directions. Indeed, it measures an incredibly. Despite, it costs $319 and has gotten just 5-star audits as of May 2012.
Other than ultralight, it provides about of space 30 square feet, can be gathered with just 1 post, and is a moderately modern tent.
A lightweight 2 man tent is a long-haul venture. At the point when obtaining one, the objective is to be agreeable and chop your pack weight down. I trust you are in an ideal situation acquiring a lighter model, yet since it has gotten rave audits, it merits specifying.

Time of Flight Diffraction
Time of Flight Diffraction or TOFD, is one of the most promising ultrasonic techniques for the examination of welds on pressure vessels in lieu of radiography; for pipe weld quality or crack detection and also weld root erosion. TOFD is a computerized ultrasonic system able to scan, store, and evaluate indications in terms of height (through wall thickness), length and position, with a degree of accuracy and speed never achieved with other ultrasonic techniques.
Theory – TOFD consists of a separate ultrasonic transmitter & receiver. The probes are aimed at the same point in the weld volume. The entire weld is then flooded with ultrasound allowing inspection of the weld. After emission of a compressional wave from the transmitter, the first signal to arrive at the receiver is the lateral wave or OD wave which represnts the outer surface or OD. In the absence of defects, the second signal to arrive at the receiver is the L-wave backwall echo which represents the inner surface or ID. When a flaw is present, a diffracted signal is generated at the upper tip of a defect and will arrive before the signal generated at the lower tip of a defect. With a time of flight of each flight path, ultrasonic velocity and the spatial relationship of the two probes, the location and height of the defects can be accurately calculated. Gray scale imaging techniques are applied to the RF (AC) signal phase and enables weld integrity to be observed in real time.
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), through Section VIII, implemented the use of TOFD in the Boiler and Pressure Vessel code. The purpose of this was to allow ultrasonic examinations on welds greater than 0.500″ in thickness in lieu of radiography. The downside to radiography, especially of heavy wall materials, is its long shot time. This results in hours of down time due to its radiation zone, thus causing a loss of production. Ultrasonic scanning can be performed in a matter of minutes, which does not stop production, and is environmentally safe. Other advantages are: fast, accurate, repeatable, full volumetric inspection, and data electronically recorded and saved.
TOFD is also an excellent tool when detecting service related cracking, especially on components in cyclic service such as Coke Drums, PSA Vessels, Compressor Tanks, etc. TOFD can also be utilized on newly constructed pressure vessel welds after post weld heat treatment for the purpose of detecting post stress cracking.
TOFD Scan on a Coke Drum Weld with multiple I.D. cracks present
TOFD can also be utilized in Weld Root Erosion Detection.

TOFD sizing accuracy and detectability is phenomenal (Below are images of TOFD on ID notches and side drilled holes) | <urn:uuid:854d211d-faa3-4e03-a445-6ecfef605219> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://autsolutions.net/ndt-resources/tofd/ | 2024-04-17T08:27:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.932663 | 586 |
© 2017 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.Background: Phenylketonuria (PKU) often requires a lifelong phenylalanine (Phe)-restricted diet. Introduction of 6R-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) has made a huge difference in the diets of patients with PKU. BH4 is the co-factor of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) and improves PAH activity and, thus, Phe tolerance in the diet. A limited number of published studies suggest a pharmacodynamic profile of BH4 more suitable to be administered in divided daily doses. Methods: After a 72-h BH4 loading test, sapropterin was initiated in 50 responsive patients. This case-control study was conducted by administering the same daily dose of sapropterin in group 1 (n=24) as a customary single dose or in two divided doses in group 2 (n=26) over 1 year. Results: Mean daily consumption of Phe increased significantly after the first year of BH4 treatment in group 2 compared to group 1 (p<0.05). At the end of the first year of treatment with BH4, another dramatic difference observed between the two groups was the ability to transition to a Phe-free diet. Eight patients from group 2 and two from group 1 could quit dietary restriction. Conclusions: When given in two divided daily doses, BH4 was more efficacious than a single daily dose in increasing daily Phe consumption, Phe tolerance and the ability to transition to a Phe-unrestricted diet at the end of the first year of treatment. | <urn:uuid:c9b5b2ac-6554-4b8f-84f0-daa977a5e8f8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://avesis.lokmanhekim.edu.tr/yayin/1a09af69-fb60-4f9e-80c8-3b41e7459615/improved-metabolic-control-in-tetrahydrobiopterin-bh4-responsive-phenylketonuria-with-sapropterin-administered-in-two-divided-doses-vs-a-single-daily-dose | 2024-04-17T09:44:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.928075 | 348 |

DURATION - 3 H 25 MIN
In the second half of the walk you can enjoy a view of the Gusarchay valley against a backdrop of the snowy peaks of mounts Gizilgaya and Shahdag. In general, there are a lot of beautiful views during the walk, which consists mainly of ascents and descents and requires good physical fitness. The paths are clearly visible everywhere and are fully marked. Follow the signs and after crossing the river 500m ahead, turn left, cross the bridge and then continue for 2km. You will walk along a relatively steep slope through a forest and reach a mountain pass. At the pass, you will have a breathtaking view of the Gusarchay valley and the village of Laza. Continue by following the signs to the village centre and don’t forget to visit the twin waterfalls.
It is important to have appropriate outdoor clothing as this is a moderately difficult hike. Especially in winter it is not recommended to go without appropriate winter hiking clothing. If you want to enjoy green nature this route is ideal in May-July, and in December-February to see snowy mountains. It is recommended to check the weather forecast before the trip as foggy, rainy or snowy weather can make the trail significantly more difficult.
You can connect this trail with the Yergi Kek-Kuzun trail.
Food and Accommodation
Unlike Laza, Kuzun is not a touristy village. There is only one guest house and a shop near the bridge that is open only during certain hours in summer, but there are no cafes or restaurants. You can find the location of guest houses, hotels and other accommodation facilities on the map.
You can fill up your water bottles at springs in the yards of local villagers before leaving the village. It is recommended to take 1.5-2 litres of water depending on the temperature. There is only one spring along the route, which you will see as you pass through the trees in the Gusarchay valley about 4km from Kuzun.
Local taxis can take you to Kuzun from Gusar city centre for 25-30 AZN. If you intend to return to Gusar from Kuzun, you can ask the driver to wait for you and take you back for no extra payment. You can return from Laza to Gusar by paying the same driver an extra 10 AZN. There is also a daily bus from Laza to Gusar, but the schedule is irregular.
Permissions and Special Protected Areas
No prior permission is required to hike along this route. The trail does not pass through a special protected nature area or border protection zone. | <urn:uuid:99924ed6-cd2e-4c38-a380-f1a68c824440> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://azerbaijan.travel/kuzun-laza-trail | 2024-04-17T10:02:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.950735 | 597 |

Online poker has taken the traditional card game to a digital platform where players can enjoy real money play and take advantage of promotions. This is a popular pastime for many people and the best way to get started is by choosing a reputable site that offers a safe environment with a variety of games, secure payment systems, and support. It is also important to practice good sportsmanship and manage your bankroll wisely.
One of the main reasons for the popularity of online poker is that it is a fun, easy-to-play game that rewards actual skill unlike slot machines or other gambling activities. Moreover, it is possible to play from any location in the world as long as you have an internet connection. The game can be played on a laptop, computer, or mobile device and is accessible at any time of the day. In addition, it is a great way to pass the time between work meetings or while watching your favorite show on television.
In order to play online poker, you need to sign up for an account with the poker website and provide your name, address, email address, and phone number. You will also be asked to choose a username and password. Once you have an account, you can then deposit funds into your account using any of the available methods. Some of these methods include credit cards, electronic banking apps such as Zelle and Payz, and other cryptocurrency services. Some of these sites also offer player-to-player transfers via MoneyGram.
When playing poker online, you can use your computer to track the history of your hands and look for trends in your play. This data can help you improve your game and make informed decisions about your strategy. In addition, it can help you determine whether or not an opponent is bluffing. This is not an easy task, however, because you can’t read physical tells from the other players in the room.
Although there are some states where online poker is legal, most of them have not yet launched the service. However, New York lawmakers have discussed the possibility of revisiting an iGaming bill that includes online poker in 2022 and Kentucky is considering a similar measure. The state’s iGaming industry has grown rapidly since the law was passed in 2021 and the introduction of online poker could be the next big thing for the region. It is essential for the industry to be well-regulated and supervised in order to protect its players’ interests and accounts. In order to do this, the government needs to regulate online gaming and make sure that the service is provided by a reputable provider. In addition, the regulation must include a clear definition of what types of games can be offered and how they are to be played. This will prevent the introduction of games that are inappropriate for the online market. It will also ensure that the gaming experience is fair for all parties involved. | <urn:uuid:4c67df81-3810-4049-aa03-d84a8d437f73> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://backbeatsoundsystem.com/how-to-get-started-in-online-poker-7/ | 2024-04-17T08:40:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.968069 | 574 |

Museums’ Night hasn’t been exciting for me over the past few years: every art space is too crowded, you cannot see anything and, on top of everything, November nights are not warm enough to wait in the street eagerly.
But this year I’ll give it a new chance, since Fundacion Proa is promoting an outdoor activity at La Boca. It is an intervention of the Nicolas Avellaneda bridge with lights and sounds created by Sigismond de Vajay for his project Of Bridges & Borders.
According to information provided by Proa, there will be performances from Buenos Aires Sonora, Biosphere (Norway) and Scanner (England), while lighting spiders will invite people to think about recovering this space (where one of the most polluted rivers in the world lives).
The show begins this Saturday, November 12, at 8 p.m. with sunset, and will last approximately 60 minutes. They say, “the show will end with fireworks,” which makes no sense environmentally. Oh well.
In addition to the presentation, Proa will open its doors until midnight with the show Gods, myths and rituals of Pre Hispanic Mexico. They also recommend visiting the young gallery Popa (882 Lamadrid), also in the neighborhood. | <urn:uuid:c4639295-e562-4cd1-b08f-28c73ad3010f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://baiculturambiental.com/lights-over-the-riachuelo-at-museums-night/ | 2024-04-17T08:19:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.952892 | 270 |
To make a traditional Heb Tres Leches cake, combine sponge cake with a mixture of three milks and top with whipped cream. Here’s an easy-to-follow recipe for a classic delight.
Tres Leches cake, a popular Latin American dessert, has recently gained fame for its moist, sweet, and creamy flavor profile. This irresistible treat consists of a light sponge cake soaked in a rich blend of three types of milk: evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream or whole milk.
The dessert is perfect for various occasions, whether it’s a festive celebration or a casual family dinner. With straightforward preparation steps, the recipe allows even novice bakers to create a delightful and impressive dessert. The cake not only tantalizes the taste buds but also provides a luxurious texture that is both spongy and creamy, creating a perfect balance that has helped the cake rise in popularity.
The Allure Of Tres Leches Cake
The Tres Leches Cake stands as a delightful highlight at numerous Latin gatherings. Its creamy texture and sweet flavor have made it a beloved dessert. Relished across generations, it embodies cultural tradition and culinary delight. Many seek out this indulgent treat for its unique soaked sponge that combines three types of milk—hence the name “Tres Leches”. These milks create a moist and rich experience, perfect for satisfying any sweet tooth. The cake’s fame has spread far and wide, making it a signature dish at many celebrations.
Heb Tres Leches Twist
The Heb Tres Leches Cake brings a delightful twist to a beloved classic. It combines traditional ingredients with a unique Heb flair, creating a dessert that stands out. What makes this cake special is its use of locally-sourced dairy and a signature blend of three milks, tailored by Heb’s own recipe.
Each slice is soaked thoroughly, ensuring every bite is richly moist and flavorful. With a texture that’s perfectly balanced, it’s neither too soggy nor too dry. This cake is an invitation to indulge in a creamy and sumptuous experience, topped with a light, sweet frosting that complements the milky base without overwhelming it.
To make the perfect Heb Tres Leches cake, choose the right tools and ingredients. Use a round baking pan for even cake layers. A fine-mesh sieve helps sprinkle icing sugar uniformly. Electric mixers ensure a smooth batter.
Select high-quality condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy cream for moisture. Opt for fresh eggs and pure vanilla extract for flavor. Cake flour yields a tender crumb. Remember, each choice affects moistness and taste.
Tool | Ingredient |
Round Baking Pan | Condensed Milk |
Fine-Mesh Sieve | Evaporated Milk |
Electric Mixer | Heavy Cream |

Pure Vanilla Extract | |

Step-by-step Baking Guide
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your baking pans by greasing and flouring them.
Next, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt. Set these aside for later.
At this stage, beat eggs with sugar until they’re fluffy and light. Gently fold in the dry mix and melted butter to create a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the pans.
Bake the sponge cake layers until a toothpick comes out clean, which usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
Combine the three milks—evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream—in a bowl. Mix well until they’re fully blended.
Remember to add a touch of vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor. Whisk everything to ensure a silky milk mixture.
Once cooled, poke the cake layers with a fork. This helps them soak up the milk.
Pour the milk mix slowly over the cake layers, allowing them to absorb the liquid. Let the cakes sit for at least an hour.
This ensures the cake layers are perfectly moist and infused with flavor.
Decoration And Presentation Tips
Elevate your Heb Tres Leches Cake with creative toppings. Think fresh berries, whipped cream, and chocolate shavings for a start. Slices of juicy peaches or kiwis add a refreshing twist. Crushed nuts or toasted coconut bring texture and flavor. Edible flowers can be used for a touch of elegance.
Choosing the right serving dish is key. Use a clear glass platter to show layers. For birthdays, add colorful candles. Use festive decorations for holidays. Match your serving utensils to the event’s theme. Whether it’s a family gathering or a formal dinner party, these tips will make your Tres Leches stand out. Enjoy every slice to its fullest!
Secrets To A Successful Heb Tres Leches Cake
Creating the perfect Heb Tres Leches Cake involves dodging a few common pitfalls. One major mistake is overbaking the cake base, which leads to dryness. This goes against the desired moist texture that’s the hallmark of a good tres leches. It’s crucial to soak the cake thoroughly yet avoid making it soggy.
For a flawless texture, uniformly poke the surface with a fork before adding the milk mixture. This ensures the liquid is evenly distributed. Using the right proportion of three milks—evaporated, condensed, and heavy cream or whole milk—is key. Gentle folding of whipped egg whites into the batter can make your cake light and airy.
Remember to chill the cake for several hours before serving; it enhances the flavor and texture.

Barwon Heads is a small seaside village on the Bellarine Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. It is popular for its picturesque coastal scenery, laid back vibes, surf breaks at 13th Beach, rivers and magnificent golf courses. What I love about Barwon Heads, besides the beach is the iconic coastal Moonah trees with their architectural looking branches and twisted trunks. I love photography and I love taking photos of the Moonah trees and this has inspired me to showcase photos of the tree on my candle boxes.
I have lived in the area for over 23 years and I have seen Barwon Heads develop from a quiet coastal town to a thriving community. Barwon Heads is full of outstanding restaurants, cafes, bakeries, surf shops and upmarket clothing boutiques. My love of the town inspired me to start my own online business called Barwon Heads Home Essentials.
I hope you enjoy my products as much as I have designing and developing them.
You only live once, so always enjoy life to the fullest and be grateful for the beauty we have in this amazing country called Australia.

The mandarin, also known as tangerine, belongs to the Rutaceae family and originally native to the far East. While similar to oranges, it is much smaller and sweeter, with a thinner soft skin that is easy to remove.
This fruit, as well as the pomelo and the bitter orange, is a unique original citrus fruit, whereas all others are natural hybrids born of spontaneous cross-breeding between different varieties. | <urn:uuid:b0a159d1-6a22-4105-853a-19593fedb43a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://battaglio.it/en/mandarin | 2024-04-17T07:55:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.958185 | 106 |
12 Jun 07. IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS), a global provider of critical technical information, decision-support tools and related services, announced today it has acquired Jane’s Information Group (Jane’s), a leading provider of information to the defense industry and governments, from The Woodbridge Company Limited. IHS purchased Jane’s substantially through the issuance of 4.399 million shares of new IHS common stock, which translates to approximately $183.5m (U.S.) based on the June 11, 2007 closing price of $41.71 for IHS stock. As part of the transaction, Woodbridge has agreed to a three-year lock-up agreement that restricts its ability to sell any IHS shares. “IHS is extremely pleased to welcome Jane’s into the IHS family of brands which includes IHS and CERA (Cambridge Energy Research Associates),” said Jerre Stead, chairman and chief executive officer of IHS. “Our strategy is to grow our business of proprietary content and decision-support tools. The addition of Jane’s is a perfect complement to the products and services IHS offers today, and reflects our vision to be the source for critical information and insight.”
IHS and Jane’s are both global operators with long-standing customer relationships in aerospace, defense and government. The acquisition enhances the position of IHS in these industries, the company’s second-largest industry vertical after energy. IHS is a leading provider of military and aerospace parts, standards, and regulatory databases, and related decision-support tools and services. The combination of these IHS assets with the information, insight, analysis and brand of Jane’s allows IHS to deliver an unparalleled suite of products and services.
“The combination of IHS and Jane’s clearly strengthens both companies and creates more growth and greater opportunities to increase value for our customers,” said Alfred Rolington, chief executive officer of Jane’s. “We look forward to enhancing the critical information and insight on which governments and businesses have come to rely to make critical decisions.”
The growing shared interest of the defense establishment and energy industry in the security and production of oil and gas around the world presents another opportunity, positioning the combined companies as a global leader in energy security issues.
“The convergence of energy and security issues in recent years has driven markets and prices on a daily basis and placed energy security squarely at the forefront of the minds of everyone from governments to businesses to individuals,” said Daniel Yergin, executive vice president of IHS and chairman of CERA. “The insight and expertise that IHS and CERA provide in the energy arena, now coupled with Jane’s depth and quality of security analysis, will be a unique, broad-based source of timely information, knowledge and insight into a range of energy security issues around the world.”
Jane’s was founded in 1898 and is a world-leading provider and publisher of information and analysis on global defense and security. Governments, militaries, business leaders and academics in more than 180 countries rely on Jane’s for timely and insightful information on threat and security issues. Jane’s has offices in seven locations worldwide and an international network of researchers, correspondents and journalists, who provide the depth and quality of Jane’s editorial expertise and independence. Jane’s offers a full range of information solutions including: military systems, equipment and analysis; country-by-country internal and external security and threat assessments; defense news and analysis; business risk assessments; airport news equipment and services information; railroad and urban transportation systems; and police and law enforcement news and equipment information.

Terry Baucher hopes to see the Tax Working Group signal a break from the past, either in the form of a Capital Gains Tax or something else such as a land tax
Does the news that the Tax Working Group’s interim report due very shortly won’t specifically recommend a capital gains tax (CGT) mean it will be the fifth such group in the past 50 years to have considered the issue before concluding “Yeah, nah”?
Not yet. Firstly, this is an interim report which is intended to invite further commentary on the TWG’s initial proposals. This is broadly similar to the process followed by the McLeod Tax Review in 2001. My understanding is that the interim report will analyse in some detail not only the merits or otherwise of a CGT but also how it might work in practice. It will probably be the most comprehensive review of the issues around CGT since the Consultative Document on the Taxation of Income from Capital in 1990.
Although the issue of CGT is dominating attention, the TWG has a very wide brief and its interim report will examine other issues such as the overall design and fairness of the tax system, environmental taxes, the taxation of savings, GST exemptions for particular goods, the taxation of companies and multinationals, the possibility of a land tax and taxpayer rights in dealing with Inland Revenue. The resulting report will be substantial and is probably likely to run to over 200 pages. Yet, for all that the focus will be on the TWG’s proposals around the taxation of capital.
Rather like Banquo’s Ghost the issue of CGT has been an unwelcome guest for every tax review over the past fifty years. During that time the debate over CGT has developed a Groundhog Day quality to it. Every few years a review of New Zealand’s tax system is announced. Some months later, after due deliberation, a report is released which includes passages summarising the pros and cons of a CGT before concluding, somewhat reluctantly, it is not appropriate.
In between each review a major change is introduced widening the scope of income tax to include transactions previously treated as exempt capital gains. These legislative changes essentially undermine the previous review’s reasoning against a CGT. At frequent intervals, international organisations such as the OECD and the IMF will call for a CGT to address imbalances in New Zealand’s economy around housing and saving. The IMF’s recommendation in March 2017 for a CGT was just the latest such instance.
Meantime, as if thumbing their noses at each tax review’s arguments against a CGT, the list of countriesintroducing capital gains tax legislation grows: Canada in 1972, Australia in 1985 and South Africa in 2001.
This rather pusillanimous pattern began with the Ross Committee in 1967 which after declaring “On grounds of equity there is strong justification for taxing realised capital gains,” concluded “we have finally decided against such a recommendation”. The Ross Committee was followed in 1982 by the McCaw Task Force, which opined “The Task Force considers that failure to tax real capital gains is inequitable in principle, and is seen by many to be so.” Ultimately, the McCaw Task Force was “not convinced of the need for a separate capital gains tax, does not propose its introduction, even though capital gains are being made by some which should in principle be taxed.”
The McLeod Tax Review in 2001 detemined “New Zealand should not adopt a general realisation-based capital gains tax. We believe that such a tax would not necessarily make our tax system fairer and more efficient.” It then proceeded to hedge its bets by adding; “Nevertheless, we also remain of the view that the absence of a tax on capital gains does create tensions and problems in specific areas.”
In 2010 it was the turn of the Victoria University of Wellington Tax Working Group. In time-honoured fashion its report concluded:
“The most comprehensive option for base-broadening with respect to the taxation of capital is to introduce a comprehensive capital gains tax (CGT). While some view this as a viable option for base-broadening, most members of the TWG have significant concerns over the practical challenges arising from a comprehensive CGT and the potential distortions and other efficiency implications that may arise from a partial CGT.”
And yet, despite all this previous consideration and rejection, another tax review finds itself confronting the CGT issue anew. There are several key factors as to why this pattern endures but three merit closer review.
Firstly, in the absence of a comprehensive CGT, there is presently no clear legislative framework to deal with the taxation of capital gains in general and the arrival of completely new asset classes such as cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. This results in confusing uncertainty as some taxpayers report gains as income whilst others treat the gains as tax free. Although issues still arise in other jurisdictions with capital gains regimes, investors know that returns will be taxed either as income or under the relevant CGT regime.
By contrast investors in cryptocurrencies are presently unsure about whether gains are taxable or exempt. This all-or-nothing approach understandably tempts investors to treat gains as tax free sometimes on the most dubious of grounds. Even though the bright-line test relating to sales of residential property has been law now for almost three years, there appears to be widespread non-compliance.
Secondly, as every tax review has acknowledged to varying degrees, the present tax treatment of capital is inequitable and creates unfairness. Differing tax treatment applies to different classes of assets leading to what the 2010 review called ‘incoherence’. The TWG’s brief includes reviewing the overall fairness of the system and in this regard the background issues paper noted that “real property held for more than two years (soon to be five) is undertaxed relative to other investments when there are capital gains”. Since peaking at 73.8 % in 1991 home ownership has fallen steadily to 63.2% in 2016. This means those substantial untaxed capital gains are being derived by fewer people.
Separate from the issue about unfair tax treatment the TWG is also considering the issue of wealth inequality. A background paper on the taxation of capital Income and wealth commented:
“Something that may not have been given enough attention in the discussion until recently has been that wealth ownership has a very skewed distribution, and reducing the tax on capital income may have contributed an increasing level of inequality in many developed countries in recent years.”
This combination of growing wealth inequality and favoured tax treatment for some assets, most notably property, means that the issue of a CGT is unlilkely to fade away even if the TWG decides not to recommend it. At some point the nettle must be grasped either through a comprehensive CGT or some other tax such as a land tax.
Finally there is plain simple self-interest. Not just of groups such as the NZ Property Investors Federation but of our elected representatives. As Thomas Coughlan pointed out earlier this week currently 113 MPs own 306 properties between them or an average of 2.6 each. At a time of falling home ownership only seven MPs do not own any property meaning property owners are greatly over-represented in Parliament. Even if the TWG does recommend a CGT, getting it into law will require a large number of MPs to decide their self-interest in getting re-elected outweighs their pecuniary self-interest.
We’ll know in a few days whether the present TWG is proposing to break the pattern of fifty years or whether we’ll find ourselves re-hashing the same arguments in 10 years time. I’m hopeful that we will see the TWG signal a change of approach, either in the form of a CGT or some other mechanism such as a land tax. For now it’s a question of wait and see. | <urn:uuid:04b61e1a-cff0-491a-b4aa-5b05a0f6b578> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://baucher.tax/capital-gains-tax-yeah-nah-definitely-maybe/ | 2024-04-17T10:07:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.967255 | 1,642 |
