KYC Optimist sailors Craig Keenan and Scott McKenzie have recently returned from representing NZIODA overseas by competing in the IODA European Championships held recently at Lake Balaton in South Western Hungary.
Lake Balaton lived up to its reputation for light and fickle conditions, the 248 Optimist sailors from 40 countries had some frustrating but highly competitive sailing.
At the end of the event Craig and Scott were the top two Kiwis finishing 47th and 75th respectively out of 146 boys.
I’m sure both boys gained some more light wind sail skills, as well as some priceless memories and a lot of Facebook friends from around Europe.

Puerto Vallarta quirky, offbeat travel guide! Day of the Dead skeletons, LGBTQ Zona Romantica, Mezcal & Sal restaurant.
Ready for round two of my Puerto Vallarta travels? Read on for my offbeat, alternative guide to Zona Romantica — the LGBTQ district and best place to stay — including molecular mezcal cocktails, Day of the Dead skeletons, and a xenomorph alien!
I recommend staying in Zona Romantica as it’s within walking distance of the beach and hippest restaurants, as well as LGBTQ clubs and bars. My daily protocols were a dream: get ice coffee, walk the Malecon (boardwalk) and dip my feet in the foam, eat 20 peso tacos, and watch the sunset. (You can see my fav Puerto Vallarta attractions at a glance in my @LaCarmina Instagram Guide.)
I took some photos to showcase my updated hair color — it has blue streaks in it now, along with dark purple and my natural black underneath. My stylist is Katya at Kore Salon in Vancouver.
Living the jungle life in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Wearing a halter bikini top by UK Swimwear — they have lots of chic swim styles, and I like how I can wear this as a crop top as well. My comfy animal print pants are from Medellin, Colombia.
I’m forever living in the 90s — that era is my makeup inspiration these days.
Digging the foreground blur. These images were shot on my Sony a7 IV mirrorless camera.
I also take images on the iPhone, as it brings out landscape and sky details nicely. I made it a habit to catch the sunset over the ocean every day.
Here’s another beachwear look. My red bikini and long resort dress are by UK Swimwear.
I took these photos at the only uncrowded spot on Los Muertos beach, under the palapas. If you’re looking for a quiet, deserted beach experience, go to Playa Conchas Chinas instead (all info and pics in my first PV post).
Speaking of living in the 1990s… I got these reissued Steve Madden Slinky sandals (I had the same ones in the late 90s!) The slight platform and “fwap fwap” noise bring me back. Get a pair below, in various colors:
Zona Romantica is Puerto Vallarta’s rainbow district, as you can see from the pride flags and Tom of Finland murals. The streets are filled with LGBTQ clubs, bars, and shops with friendly vibes.
Always a fabulous time traveling with Trevor. (We met this local who was obsessed with my hair’s realness!)
Long live the Queen in Puerto Vallarta (or the Queen Mother)…
I recommend getting a local Airbnb or booking a boutique hotel in the Romantic Zone, rather than staying in the distant resorts. Mine had a cute patio area. I’m wearing an Abysm Internal kimono that matches my hair and the turquoise door.
Abysm Internal has a wide selection of original, dark and fantastical designs — I was drawn to this Japanese horned hannya with a pentagram on its forehead. I chose it in the sheer fabric, and purple/blue color variation.
Leave it to us to find the most Gothic parts of Puerto Vallarta. We saw Day of the Dead skeleton figurines in a store near the Malecon.
This Mexican skeleton couple was looking out at the ocean from a patio by the boardwalk.
At Plaza Lázaro Cárdenas in Zona Romantica, there are a variety of colorful seats… including this Dia de los Muerto themed one. We had to take a photo here at Golden Hour.
Find my Steeeveee Maddennnn shoeesss below (if you’ve seen Wolf of Wall Street, you’ll know what I mean).
Puerto Vallarta has quite the party scene, and would be a thrilling spot for Day of the Dead. (You can see how I celebrated Dia de los Muertos and Halloween in Mexico City and Merida, in my past Mexico posts here.)
Although there weren’t any Goth clubs or events in Puerto Vallarta when we were there, I loved visiting El Colibri bar, which serves mezcal craft cocktails and has an alt / Gothic atmosphere.
As The Collapse accelerates… Abysm Internal’s Gothic / devilish kimonos are a stylish way to keep cool and covered from the sun.
Mexico’s west coast has a dry heat and no mosquitoes (unlike in Riviera Maya / Tulum). It’s easy and inexpensive to get here from the North American west coast, making it a perfect winter getaway.
Golden Hour at the beach by Zona Romantica. Take off your shoes, and have a “Gaywatch” moment.
My Japanese demon kimono is the perfect Goth summer beach coverup.
Been making it a habit to walk 10k steps a day and spend more time outdoors.
Here is a video of my jewelry at sunset. Wearing a gold and diamond ouroboros ring by Ingrid Valou (stacked with my mom’s ruby/diamonds/gold1970s ring). The topaz and gold paper clip bracelet is from Anzie Jewelry (stacked with my mom’s 70s gold chain bracelet, and a Colombian emerald and blue diamond gold bangle I got in Medellin.)
We were all about the witchy molecular cocktails at Mezcal & Sal, in Zona. The drinks came with magical presentations like bubbles, slides, and drops.
Mezcal y Sal also puts a creative take on Mexican dishes — such as watermelon tiradito (that tastes like marinated tuna), and cactus mousse for dessert.
I’m on a mezcal kick, as it’s a pure alcohol. Visit Agave Liquors in Zona Romantica for a wide selection of artisanal mezcals. and also check out Vinos America (I got the Alipus San Andres there for 999 pesos). Stay out of the tourist stores, and make sure you purchase mezcal that is over 40% alcohol with no additives. I recommend getting a small-batch handcrafted Mexican mezcal for around 1000-1500 pesos.
Ran into a Dorito-faced cult leader on the Malecon. While Puerto Vallarta is a popular tourist destination, it doesn’t feel overly commercial or Americanized, especially if you avoid spring break and peak times.
As you walk the seawall, you’ll come across weird sculptures, performance artists, and other inspiration.
We dared to approach this Alien xenomorph… What a costume! I passed by an Edward Scissorhands as well.
Loved being close to the water and birds in Mexico.
The skies turn dramatic after sunset. (See my first Puerto Vallarta post for more recommendations.)
Leave it to me to find Miffy wherever I go… next to a UFO!
The Tarzan life in Puerto Vallarta suited me well, and I’d jump at the chance to go back (especially in the coldest months)!
For more of my food / beach / attraction tips, see my Instagram Guide to Puerto Vallarta here. And if you’d like anything from my personal wardrobe, take a look at my Depop @LaCarmina (I ship worldwide, and can do bundle discounts).
Finally, a reminder that I’ve been ramping up my social media content… Add @LaCarmina on Instagram and other social networks (YouTube, X as it’s now called) to see the latest updates, and learn where in the world I’ll be next!
Puerto Vallarta: Goth on the Beach! Playa Conchas Chinas, mezcal cocktail bar El Colibri, Elizabeth Taylor restaurant.
Goth on the Beach alert! My friend Trevor and I recently escaped the cold for Puerto Vallarta, located on the west coast of Mexico. Puerto Vallarta is only a 4-ish hour direct flight from Vancouver, making it a great choice for those seeking an easy and inexpensive getaway.
Read on for our beach, mezcal and Elizabeth Taylor adventures!
My top tip: stay in Zona Romantica, known as the LGBTQ area. Everything is walkable in the Romantic Zone — you’re blocks from the beach and Malecon, as well as the coolest restaurants and bars. If you stay north in the resort areas (Nuevo Vallarta and Nayerit), you’re far from the action and can’t easily walk around and explore.
Zona Romantica is within walking distance of several popular beaches. But if you want to get away from the crowds… simply take a 60 peso Uber to Playa Conchas Chinas further south. I got there at 9am, and had the place to myself!
All right, I wasn’t quite alone. This modelesque snowy white egret was cat-walking along the shore.
Keep in mind that UV rays are intense in Puerto Vallarta, even in the early morning! I covered up with tons of mineral sunscreen, and an Audrey Hepburn style downturned brim hat.
My Cruella black and white pearl necklace is Lily Streeter Jewelry — love how it fastens easily in the front. Lily makes darkly romantic jewels inspired by days of old; check out her site for other edgy fine designs.
I also covered up in style with Abysm Internal, an indie designer of alternative clothing and home decor. I was drawn to their original Gothic, fantasy and mythological prints, which include dragons, skulls, and demons. Everything is made to order, in beautiful sheer or solid fabric.
Obligatory hot dog legs shot. Unlike other Puerto Vallarta beaches, Conchas Chinas has a more Gothic feel — it’s marked by dark rock formations, and the waves were a little more intense.
Happy to be in Mexico, by the warm water! My leopard print pants are from a boutique in Medellin, Colombia and my top is by Michi NY.
Around 11:30 to noon, more people arrived at Conchas Chinas — but it still was pretty empty. Quite the contrast from busy Los Muertos beach, which is filled with people and pounding with club music. Keep in mind that there aren’t any food or toilet facilities at Playa Conchas Chinas, but there are usually umbrellas and chairs for rent.
I’m wearing this blue shadow dragon design by Abysm Internal. I’m a fan of kimonos as summer outerwear, as they are light and keep you cool yet protected from the sun’s rays. I chose the open shirt in a sleek, silky knit, and it came with a black robe tie around the waist (not pictured).
I considered Photoshopping out the fellow in the back, but decided to keep him in!
Photos taken by remote app, on my Sony a7 IV mirrorless camera. (That’s why I am holding my phone in shots — I use it to click the shutter.)
My hair color has some blue in it now, to match the ocean and mountains.
Puerto Vallarta has other gorgeous beaches. From Zona Romantica, walk north along the Malecon to Playa Camarones. It sits on a more peaceful section of the shoreline, and you can’t beat the sunsets here.
These beaches are all accessible to the public. If you’re planning a trip to Puerto Vallarta, try to avoid the peak tourist times such as spring break and Santa Semana (the holy week in early April).
Playa Olas Altas (right by Zona Romantica) is another lovely spot to catch the sunset. You can see sailboats move across the horizon, and pelicans diving into the waves.
Puerto Vallarta’s Malecon has glorious views from every point on the seawall. In the next post, I’ll show you more of it.
Once you’re in Puerto Vallarta, you can eat fabulous food for cheap all throughout Zona Romantica and Centro. My favorites: 20 peso al pastor tacos at Tacos el Gato, located by the beach in Centro (the pineapple up top is sliced fresh into the corn tortilla!) Also try Marisma Fish Taco (the quesadillas and add-on vegetables / sauces are to die for), and go to Cafe Oro Verde for coffee and beans to take home (330 pesos per kilo, check opening hours in advance).
I’m currently on a mezcal kick, and went several times to El Colibri bar in Centro, which has a Goth alternative vibe. They specialize in craft mezcal and raicilla cocktails (try the Paradise, Geminis and Papu’s Sazón), and bring in nu disco and techno DJs on the weekends.
Above, the perfect pairing: a mezcal cocktail at El Colibri bar, and al pastor tacos from Los Gatos.
Trevor and I spent more beach time further north, in Nuevo Vallarta. The sand is soft and the waves are gentle in this resort area.
Don’t worry about Jaws coming out from the seafoam. Puerto Vallarta only has one species of shark that lives off of plankton.
Trevor and I made it our goal to relax during this trip, so we didn’t hop around to other areas like Sayulita. If you stay in Zona Romantica, you won’t get bored — you can walk to the main areas and find a variety of food at 1990s prices. (I loved getting iced coffee each day for 50 pesos… or $2.80, like back in the 90s!)
Trevor got some private pool time with a penguin.
Rather than staying in big resorts, look into apartment / villa rentals or boutique hotels in Zona. (We’ll show you more from this LGBTQ district in the next post.)
Trevor and I had an open-air dinner to remember at Casa Kimberly, the hotel made famous by Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. The actors were having an affair while still married to other people, and were staying in adjoining casitas. Richard built this Puente Del Amor or Lover’s Bridge so that they could visit each other without alerting the paparazzi.
In 1964, Burton gifted Casa Kimberly to Taylor for her 32nd birthday. The Hollywood stars met on the set of Cleopatra, and were known for their wild spending and personal drama. Looks like someone is trying to sneak a kiss from Dick…
Richard Burton first came to Puerto Vallarta in 1962, when he starred in The Night of the Iguana. Casa Kimberly’s decor upholds the glam of that era with exquisite antiques, crystal chandeliers, and views of the city and water below.
Elizabeth Taylor’s iconic violet eyes greet guests as they go up the stairs to Iguana Restaurant. Every architectural detail is executed to perfection here.
The open-air courtyard of The Iguana is straight out of a movie. Live mariachi bands performed while we dined, and the coastal breeze kept the restaurant cool.
You’ll find photos and memorabilia of the actors throughout Casa Kimberly. Here’s a photo of Liz Taylor with Rock Hudson — she was a strong LGBTQ ally, and they remained close friends until his death from AIDS.
Trevor sits under a poster of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor did 11 movies together, and married and divorced each other twice. (Liz had eight marriages total… stunning queen!)
The menu at Iguana Restaurant was as elegant as the atmosphere. We enjoyed braised beef with sweet potato paired with a red Mexican Sangiovese wine, and a guava mille-feuille with house made vanilla bean ice cream for dessert — perfection.
Dine at Iguana Restaurant at Casa Kimberly, for a night to remember. Reserve well in advance, as this is an in-demand fine dining spot.
Puerto Vallarta was exactly what I was looking for: a relaxing getaway with easy access to the beach, local food and culture. (Be sure to visit Conchas Chinas beach if you come!)
Have you been to PV, or other parts of the country? You can see my other Mexico posts here (I’ve travelled to Mexico City, Mazatlan, Merida, and Tulum / Riviera Maya).

India has put a temporary hold on all exports of the AstraZeneca coronavirus vccine made by the Serum Institute of India. There are may reasons behind this action as India decided to use the production as the domestic demand is increasing.
Also some sources explained how this is affecting GAVI/WHO-backed COVAX vaccine-sharing through more than 180 countries. India has shipped 60.5 million doses in total and COVAX also had received 17.7 million AstraZeneca doses untill now.
According to foreign ministry’s website there was no exporting of vaccines since last Thursday. Already shipments to the Brazil, Britain, Morocco and Saudi Arabia delayed by the company.
The SII plans to increase monthly production of vaccines to 100 million doses from April this year. | <urn:uuid:2200c4ae-4edb-4e92-891e-5c8bed4ec97c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://lankan.org/2021/03/25/india-temporarily-stops-exporting-oxford-astrazeneca-vaccine/ | 2024-04-13T21:41:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.973433 | 165 |
John Robert “Joe” Cocker OBE, the English singer known for his soulful voice and passionate stage presence while performing, sadly died on December 22, 2014 from the ravages of lung cancer at his home in Crawford, Colorado. He was 70 years old.
It’s really sad to hear about Joe’s passing. He was a lovely northern lad who I loved a lot and, like many people, I loved his singing I was especially pleased when he decided to cover With A Little Help From My Friends and I remember him and (producer) Denny Cordell coming round to the studio in Savile Row and playing me what they’d recorded and it was just mind-blowing, totally turned the song into a soul anthem and I was forever grateful for him for doing that. I knew him through the years as a good mate and I was so sad to hear that he had been ill and really sad to hear today that he had passed away. He was a great guy, a lovely guy who brought so much to the world and we’ll all miss him.
Well said, Sir Paul. Rest in peace, Joe. We will miss your beautiful voice indeed. | <urn:uuid:928660a4-2627-42f5-97d8-c808ef3900d0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://laughingsquid.com/joe-cocker-obe-1944-2014-a-unique-singer-known-for-his-soulful-voice-and-passionate-stage-presence/ | 2024-04-13T21:38:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.994697 | 248 |

Article 8 - Challenges.
163-88. Hearing on challenge made on day of primary or election.
163‑88. Hearing on challenge made on day of primary or election.
A challenge entered on the day of a primary or election shall be heard and decided by the chief judge and judges of election of the precinct in which the challenged registrant is registered before the polls are closed on the day the challenge is made. When the challenge is heard the precinct officials conducting the hearing shall explain to the challenged registrant the qualifications for registration and voting in this State, and shall examine him as to his qualifications to be registered and to vote. If the challenged registrant insists that he is qualified, and if, by sworn testimony, he shall prove his identity with the person in whose name he offers to vote and his continued residence in the precinct since he was registered, one of the judges of election or the chief judge shall tender to him the following oath or affirmation, omitting the portions in brackets if the challenge is heard on the day of an election other than a primary:
"You do solemnly swear (or affirm) that you are a citizen of the United States; that you are at least 18 years of age [or will become 18 by the date of the next general election]; that you have [or will have] resided in this State and in the precinct for which registered for 30 days [by the date of the next general election]; that you are not disqualified from voting by the Constitution and laws of this State; that your name is_____________, and that in such name you were duly registered as a voter of this precinct; that you are the person you represent yourself to be; [that you are affiliated with the __________ party]; and that you have not voted in this [primary] election at this or any other voting place. So help you, God."
If the challenged registrant refuses to take the tendered oath, the challenge shall be sustained, and the precinct officials conducting the hearing shall mark the registration records to reflect their decision, and they shall erase the challenged registrant's name from the pollbook if it has been entered therein. If the challenged registrant takes the tendered oath, the precinct officials conducting the hearing may, nevertheless, sustain the challenge unless they are satisfied that the challenged registrant is a legal voter. If they are satisfied that he is a legal voter, they shall overrule the challenge and permit him to vote. Whenever any person's vote is received after having taken the oath prescribed in this section, the chief judge or one of the judges of election shall write on the registration record and on the pollbook opposite the registrant's name the word "sworn."
Precinct election officials conducting hearings on challenges on the day of a primary or election shall have authority to administer the necessary oaths or affirmations to all witnesses brought before them to testify to the qualifications of the person challenged.
A letter or postal card mailed by returnable mail and returned by the United States Postal Service purportedly because the person no longer lives at that address or because a forwarding order has expired shall not be admissible evidence in a challenge heard under this section which was made under G.S. 163‑87. (1901, c. 89, s. 22; Rev., s. 4340; C.S., s. 5973; 1955, c. 871, s. 2; 1967, c. 775, s. 1; 1971, c. 1231, s. 1; 1973, c. 1223, s. 6; 1985, c. 380, ss. 1, 1.1; 1993 (Reg. Sess., 1994), c. 762, s. 27.)

The UCLA Criminal Defense Clinic was established in 2009 to address systemic issues in the criminal legal system.
The clinic has defended political protesters, veterans, sidewalk vendors and mobile catering vendors against harassment and ticketing by police. The clinic has also represented individuals seeking release from the immigration prison in Adelanto, California, and helped community members to obtain post-conviction relief, such as pardons and clemency.
Beyond individual client representation, the clinic seeks to collaborate with community members and service providers on community education initiatives to improve access to justice, as well as policy projects to reform the criminal legal system. As a public resource, the clinic endeavors to involve students in filling gaps in the provision of legal services in Los Angeles.
Each year, the cases and policy projects that the clinic takes on are different and responsive to specific needs in the community.
The seminar associated with the clinic examines the role of the defense lawyer in the criminal justice process. Students develop a range of critical lawyering skills, including trauma-informed investigation, interviewing and counseling, persuasive brief writing and trial techniques. We also seek to expose students to issues of structural racism and other forms of inequality that are embedded in the operation of the criminal and immigration legal systems. Clinic faculty mentor students to practice zealous and client-centered advocacy, while developing techniques to guard against stress and burnout.
Graduates of the Criminal Defense Clinic become part of a vibrant community of more than 100 alumni working all over the country, primarily in public defender offices and at nonprofit organizations focused on immigrant rights.

“The highlight of my time was undoubtedly appearing in federal court and successfully making a Miranda argument on behalf of our client. It was so rewarding to bring the concepts I had learned in class into the real world. The feeling of using my legal skills to help others has continued to drive my work in indigent criminal defense.”
“I still draw upon lessons learned in the Criminal Defense Clinic. The course covered everything from basic lawyering skills such as client interviewing to the latest scholarship on representing clients in the criminal justice system. All of this learning was fortified by working on real world matters. The clinic demands the best of you. And because you respond in kind, you become an immeasurably more effective advocate very early in your legal career.”
“The Criminal Defense Clinic taught me everything I needed to know about public defense work -- from the initial client interview, to investigation and trial preparation, all the way through every aspect of the trial. The lessons I learned in the clinic gave me the confidence I needed to provide my clients excellent representation beginning with my very first case.”
“The Criminal Defense Clinic solidified my commitment to public defense by giving me the skill, empathy, and confidence to step into a career that demands an abundance of each. Professors Eagly and Cramer's deep knowledge, practical experience, and careful supervision gently ushered me from classroom theory to what became my real world practice through a careful exploration of law, attorney-client relationship, motions practice, and trial in one of the busiest courts in the country. The clinic helped direct my career as a public defender and, now, in criminal justice policy.”
“The Criminal Defense Clinic was the highlight of my time at UCLA. I came to Birmingham, Alabama through Gideon’s Promise after graduation, where I have been a public defender ever since and where I use the skills I acquired in the clinic every day in search of those two beautiful words I first heard at the end of my clinic trial: Not Guilty.”
“The clinic shaped my career path and taught me that innovative legal strategies work. Through our pardon advocacy, I had the chance to meet several amazing individuals and present their stories to the Governor. The professors' hands-on guidance helps students grow and leads to successful outcomes in complex cases. The CDC was a major highlight from my time at UCLA Law!”
“The opportunity to work closely on a real client’s case with the close supervision of incredible faculty mentors and collaboration with fellow students helped me become a better advocate. My clinic partner became one of my closest friends after we represented someone in their immigration bond hearing together. It was amazing to get experience arguing in front of a judge during law school!” | <urn:uuid:bf4c51db-9b91-4f25-996b-bc2196e631d0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://law.ucla.edu/academics/experiential-program/law-clinic-courses/criminal-defense-clinic | 2024-04-13T23:07:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.952042 | 1,213 |

Built in 1929 by the German architect Mies Van Der Rohe, this pavilion is one of the most significant monuments in the history of modern architecture; and this in particular thanks to the alliance of its minimal forms, innovative construction principles and materials such as marble, travertine or red onyx.
More recently, it was in 2017 that the Spanish architect Carme Pinós completed the building of the Massana design school. Its major interest lies in its overall structure imagined as a monolithic sculpture with cut sides clad in ceramic panels, in contrast with the old buildings around.

Today ATL rap veteran OG KV, CEO of Big Play Entertainment, delivers new music for the streets in the form of a new single “Down” that will be featured on his accompanying project OG Music. The song “Down” tackles the issues of police brutality and all that goes into the police using their badge to do anything and everything but protect and serve the people.
Famed for discovering “Racks on Racks” hitmaker YC and developing underground Atlanta legend Young Dose, this industry OG has been around since the mid 90’s but has always remained true to the music, despite what may have happened throughout the process of getting artists signed and managing their musical careers.
“Being a CEO, and being with the rappers, I really had developed the passion to do music too, but I really wasn’t focused on my music because I was trying to get my artists out there. Soa started doing that, being in the studio where I started doing music and setting myself up to become an artist also,” OG KV said.
While many rap fans are in the early years of their lives OG KV noted that some of Hip-Hop’s first and earliest fans are now in their 50’s an 60’s looking for something to listen to because they can’t relate to the new trapped out and auto-tuned generation of music.
“Everybody that’s 50 grew up they are hip hop babies, so it’s people that’s older that still love hip hop, but they can’t relate to the new young artists, so they’re like, ‘Put out your music.’ When I look at it and think about it from an artist standpoint, say like Aretha Franklin, James Brown was alive, they would still be doing music no matter how old they were. So even though I’m older now I’m still going to do my music because I still always had a passion for it,” OG KV said. “So being older, I’m using the OG brand, the music that’s more like talking to the youngsters, just spitting game. Talking about the streets, the reality of being in the streets and what comes with it; both sides of it, not just the good. Because many people just nowadays they just talk about the balling part, balling and stunting, and as we both it’s not all balling and stunting. Everybody is not balling and stunting. It’s more people going through the struggle, and that’s what my music is geared to. From my past and what I went through being incarcerated, just going through my trials and tribulations, and so a lot of people feel that.”
Thriving with an OG sound that pays homage to the legendary greats of Southern rap music OG KV brings everything full circle with this project.
“If it catches fire, hey, let’s do it, let’s go. You know, like I said, it wasn’t really about the money at this age because I done have everything. I had all the cars, beautiful women, the houses, travel, I’m seasoned, so it is not about getting the money and getting rich. Of course, I would love for that to happen, but I just want to see what it’s going to do, see what it’s going to do, see what kind of impact I can make. Because like the cloth I’m cut from, like the UGK, MJG, the Scarface, the stuff I grew up on listening to.” | <urn:uuid:fbc099ff-be12-4430-ac96-c25fb42095c2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://lenoxandparker.com/ogkv-down/ | 2024-04-13T23:00:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.973705 | 780 |

Maybe the reason why you can't change to a healthy diet is because food has become this profound visceral experience every time you sit down to a meal. Flavor and texture are the king and queen in your mouth, palate, taste buds and especially your brain.
-alias=vserossijskaya-nedelya-ohrany-truda 2017-10-13 12:15:34 always 1. Always 1 -smolenskoj-transportnoj-prokuratury-po-nadzoru-za-ispolneniem-zakonov-v. -obratit-vnimanie-pri-vybore-kadastrovogo-inzhenera/ 2017-10-13 12:15:39.
You can't go from a diet loaded with yummy fat, sugar, salt and chemicals to bland old steamed vegetables and quinoa because the eating experience will no longer provide the kind of pleasure you expect from eating. Starting a diet is easy.
Desire to change and the intentions that go with it are strong at first. The trigger could be the image in the mirror you despise. Maybe it's the impact of how walking up a simple flight of stairs feels like a triathlon. You say enough is enough and begin the process (again) of choosing a diet. When you do, you have to give up something. Something you love.
Portions or flavor or both. Some folks never get past the first day while others can hang in there for years. Both fail in the the end because eating feels like that job you hate. How long do you want to suffer? How long do you want to feel deprived? How much longer can you tolerate being miserable while eating?
Changing your eating habits is no different than starting a workout regime. Both are hard at first, get easier with time and become enjoyable if your purpose is clear. Fitness is fun and effective when you combine variety, intensity, consistency with purpose, a plan and accountability. It's hard if you only focus on how you want to look in front of other people.
You can stick with a healthy eating plan when you find ways to make fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean proteins and healthy fats taste good! A weight loss only diet plan fails every time because being miserable while eating now with the hope that you look better later will make you sad, depressed and crazy! You also need a plan for when you travel and you need to find restaurants that provide healthy whole meals that you look forward to eating.
If you love to cook - start throwing out old recipes that make you and your family fat and start preparing yummy ones that make everyone happy and healthy. If you don't cook then learn.
Learn how to cook 10 fast healthy meals. You can do that. After that, figure out who delivers the good stuff on days you don't feel like cooking. Learn how to navigate a grocery store. Cut way back on all processed foods that come in a bag, box, bottle or can and buy more foods with just one ingredient. Blueberries, carrots, spinach, kale, onions, watermelon. You get the idea.
The only way you're going to live the life you deserve is through fitness and a healthy diet. Everything else is smoke and mirrors. You want to find the fountain of youth?
Here it ishealthy food and fitness first before everything else. Exercise is Fitness and Food is Health. You can stay miserable or you can join the revolution, it's up to you! | <urn:uuid:0761ae45-c620-419b-a2c7-bfe0ce38748b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://levobmassage.netlify.app/instrukciya-po-ohrane-truda-inzhenera-po-teh-nadzoru.html | 2024-04-13T22:14:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.943503 | 728 |
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (or the “CARE Act”) became law after being passed by Congress and signed by the President. The CARES Act provides approximately $2 trillion of spending from the federal government to support individuals and businesses during the global COVID-19 pandemic.
The CARES Act, among other things, creates the Paycheck Protection Program which provides for changes to loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to small businesses and non-profit entities. Under Section 1106 of the CARES Act, the Paycheck Protection Program allows qualified entities and individuals to receive fully guaranteed loans from qualified SBA lenders to pay for covered business expenses (including payroll, rent, utilities, and mortgage interest) and the loans will be entirely forgiven if certain conditions as met.
Essentially, the Paycheck Protection Program provides what are in essence grants from the federal government to help small businesses and non-profits keep their operations running during the pandemic crisis.
Who Qualifies for the Program?
Most small businesses and non-profits will qualify for the Paycheck Protection Program. Specifically, the Act provides that the following types of businesses are eligible:
- Small businesses;
- 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations;
- Veterans Organizations; and
- Tribal business concerns.
In order to qualify, the business or entity must employ no more than 500 employees or, if applicable, the “size standard in number of employees” established by the SBA for the industry in which the business operates. Certain businesses, particularly in the hospitality industry, that operate more than one (1) location may qualify so long as individual locations employ fewer than 500 employees.
For purposes of determining the number of employees a business has, “employee” includes individuals employed on a full-time, part-time, or other basis.
The Act also specifically applies to sole proprietors, independent contractors, and eligible self- employed individuals.
In order to qualify for a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program, a borrower will need to certify that:
- The loan request is necessary to support the ongoing operations of the borrower due to the uncertainty of current economic conditions;
- The funds will be used to retain workers and maintain payroll or make mortgage payments, lease payments, and utility payments;
- The borrower does not have another loan application pending under this program for the same purpose and same amounts; and
- The borrower has not already received another loan between February 15, 2020 and December 31, 2020 under this program for the same purpose and same amounts.
Notably, the SBA’s typical requirements of a personal guarantee and/or collateral from the borrower are not required for loans under the Paycheck Protection Program.
Amount of Loans
Eligible recipients can apply and receive loans for as much as $10 million or 2 and half times (250%) of their average monthly payroll costs, whichever is less.
Average payroll costs are to be calculated by determining the business’s average payroll costs for the 1-year prior to the date on which the loan is made.
Payroll costs with respect to employees can include:
- Salary, wages, commissions, or similar compensation;
- Payment of cash tips or equivalent;
- Payment of vacation, parental, family, medical, or sick leave (except for such leave
- covered by other aspects of the CARES Act);
- Allowance for dismissal or separation;
- Payment for group health benefits, including insurance premiums;
- Payment of retirement benefits; and/or
- Payment of state or federal employment taxes.
Payroll costs shall not include the compensation for any individual employee in excess of an annual salary of $100,000, as prorated for the covered period. Payroll costs also exclude any individual employee who resides outside the United States.
Use of Loan Proceeds
Funds from loans covered by the Paycheck Protection Program can be used for:
- Employee salaries, commissions, or other similar compensation;
- Other payroll costs;
- Costs related to the continuation of group health care benefits during periods of paid sick, medical or family leave, and insurance premiums;
- Mortgage interest payments;
- Rent or Lease payments;
- Utilities payments; and
- Interest on any other debt obligation that were incurred before February 15, 2020.
Funds from such loans specifically cannot be used for mortgage principal payments or to pay for other debt incurred after February 25, 2020.
Loans under the Paycheck Protection Program will have a maximum interest rate of four percent (4%) and a maximum maturity of ten (10) years.
In consideration of the current pandemic, all borrowers under this program are presumed to have been impacted by the pandemic and lenders are required to defer all payments, including interest, principal, and fees, for at least 6 months.
That being said, the loan may be entirely forgiven if certain circumstances are met.
Loans made under the Paycheck Protection Program will be entirely forgiven if the loan proceeds are used exclusively for allowable expenditures during the 8-week period following the origination of the loan.
Specifically, the allowable expenditures include covered payroll costs, interest payments on mortgage obligation, rent payments, and/or utility payments. The amount of the loan proceeds spent on the allowable expenditures for the 8-week period after the loan is made will be completely forgiven.
The amount of any loan forgiveness will be reduced if the borrower has fired, terminated, or otherwise dismissed any employees since February 15, 2020, or if employees’ salaries or wages have been reduced, unless the employees are re-hired and/or had their previous salaries reinstated by not later than June 30, 2020.
Applying for Loan Forgiveness
In order to qualify for loan forgiveness, the borrower will need to provide the lender with specified documentation to demonstrate the borrower’s number of employees and verifying payments were made for allowable expenditures.
Specifically, the borrower will need to be prepared to provide evidence of the number of employees it had at relevant times, including:
- Payroll tax filings reported to the IRS; and
- State income, payroll, and unemployment insurance filings.
The borrower will also need to be prepared to provide evidence of the allowable expenditures including:
- Cancelled checks;
- Payment Receipts;
- Account Statements; and/or
- Other documents evidencing payments on covered mortgage obligations, covered leases, or utility payments.
The borrower will also need to provide certifications that the documents are true and correct and that the amount of the requested forgiveness was used retain employees, make interest payments on covered mortgages, rent obligations, and/or utility payments.
For tax purposes, forgiven loan amounts will not be considered gross income by the IRS.
Any business or non-profit entity that is being negatively impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic may want to consider applying for an SBA loan under the Paycheck Protection Program. The program will provide a lifeline to many small businesses and their employees to avoid layoffs and keep their business afloat during these difficult times.

Think critically about the information in the source:
What claim/argument is the author is making? What is the central idea of this source?
What evidence does the author use to support their argument? Is it personal/lived experience? Statistical/numerical? Observed? Experimental and reproducible? How is it valuable for your information needs?
What perspectives are dominant? (Ex. Is this Eurocentric? Gender focused?) What perspectives are missing?
Can I use the findings/conclusions to predict outcomes in related areas?

Bond is in pursuit of the missing Solex Agitator, an invention with the capacity to solve the world’s energy problems and, with the 1973 energy crisis in the real world still fresh in people’s memories, The Man With the Golden Gun brought Bond bang up to date.
But not surprisingly, Bond isn’t the only one looking for such an important piece of technology – enter Scaramanga, a paid assassin who kills his victims with a golden bullet.
Although the film met with mixed reviews, with criticism of some of the action scenes and people still not really on board with Moore’s more humorous approach to the role, nowadays Roger Moore’s version of Bond has a very large following and original film posters and lobby cards are highly sought after.

Overcoming adversity through education since 1910.
History paves the way
In 1910, the Lincoln Foundation was established to oversee and manage the assets of the Lincoln Institute located in Lincoln Ridge. The educational philosophy of the Lincoln Institute centered on the need for adequate leadership of African Americans in both schools and churches.
Before the end of the Civil War, both black and white students worked and studied on the campus of Berea College in Kentucky. After thirty-nine years of integrated education, the Kentucky Legislature forced Berea to abandon this successful but controversial approach to education. State Representative Carl Day convinced his colleagues that integrated education should be outlawed in 1904.
After losing the battle over the Day Law when the United States Supreme Court ruled it constitutional, the trustees of Berea College pondered the future of its institution. In addition to continuing to educate the Appalachian whites, the trustees decided to establish a new institution to serve the needs of black students. A challenge grant of $200,000 from Andrew Carnegie allowed trustees to raise twice that amount. The trustees purchased three farms in Shelby County, Kentucky totaling 444.4 acres as the site of the Lincoln Institute, named after President Abraham Lincoln.
In 1910, the Lincoln Foundation was established to oversee and manage the assets of the Lincoln Institute located in Lincoln Ridge. On October 1, 1912, Lincoln Institute opened its doors to eighty-five students. The first President was Dr. A. Eugene Thomson. The educational philosophy of the Lincoln Institute centered on the need for adequate leadership of African Americans in both schools and churches. Vocational education and cultural values were stressed and Lincoln offered the first course of study in maintenance engineering.
In 1935, J. Mansir Tydings and Whitney M. Young, Sr. conceived and implemented the “Faith Plan,” which raised money and recruited new students enabling Lincoln Institute to continue to thrive. Mr. Tydings was hired as the business manager of Lincoln Institute and later became the first President of the Lincoln Foundation.
Under the leadership of President Whitney M. Young, Sr., Lincoln became a prominent boarding school for blacks. Dr. Young served as the educational leader for over forty years. He was the first black President of the Lincoln Institute.
Following the 1954 United States Supreme Court ruling that outlawed separate but equal schools, Lincoln experienced a steady decline in enrollment. After more than fifty years of education, Lincoln Institute held its final graduation in 1966. The same year, Lincoln School, an integrated school for gifted students, opened. Community pressure and the state’s ambivalence toward education for gifted students led to the closing of the Lincoln School in 1970 with the graduation of one class. The U.S. Department of Labor currently leases 54 acres of the campus from the Lincoln Foundation for the operation of the Whitney M. Young, Jr. Job Corps Center.
In 1972, under the leadership of former Lincoln Institute teacher and Lincoln School headmaster, Dr. Samuel Robinson, the Lincoln Foundation continued to carry on the legacy of the Lincoln Institute and Lincoln School by operating year-round non-traditional educational programming for academically talented, economically disadvantaged youth. Dr. Robinson created the Whitney M. YOUNG Scholars Program® in 1990 in recognition of the educational achievements and leadership of both Drs. Whitney M. Young, Sr. and Jr. The Whitney M. YOUNG Scholars Program®, started by our President Emeritus, is the signature educational program of the Lincoln Foundation. | <urn:uuid:177fe4d7-a6e7-46e0-afe3-cc117d3ec059> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://lincolnfdn.org/history/ | 2024-04-13T21:39:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.95587 | 694 |

Chapter 1. A HOLY SAINT
It is in the Thebaïd, on the heights of a mountain, where a platform, shaped like a crescent, is surrounded by huge stones.
The Hermit's cell occupies the background. It is built of mud and reeds, flat-roofed and doorless. Inside are seen a pitcher and a loaf of black bread; in the centre, on a wooden support, a large book; on the ground, here and there, bits of rush-work, a mat or two, a basket and a knife.
Some ten paces or so from the cell a tall cross is planted in the ground; and, at the other end of the platform, a gnarled old palm-tree leans over the abyss, for the side of the mountain is scarped; and at the bottom of the cliff the Nile swells, as it were, into a lake.
To right and left, the view is bounded by the enclosing rocks; but, on the side of the desert, immense undulations of a yellowish ash-colour rise, one above and one beyond the other, like the lines of a sea-coast; while, far off, beyond the sands, the mountains of the Libyan range form a wall of chalk-like whiteness faintly shaded with violet haze. In front, the sun is going down. Towards the north, the sky has a pearl-grey tint; while, at the zenith, purple clouds, like the tufts of a gigantic mane, stretch over the blue vault. These purple streaks grow browner; the patches of blue assume the paleness of mother-of-pearl. The bushes, the pebbles, the earth, now wear the hard colour of bronze, and through space floats a golden dust so fine that it is scarcely distinguishable from the vibrations of light.
Saint Antony, who has a long beard, unshorn locks, and a tunic of goatskin, is seated, cross-legged, engaged in making mats. No sooner has the sun disappeared than he heaves a deep sigh, and gazing towards the horizon:
"Another day! Another day gone! I was not so miserable in former times as I am now! Before the night was over, I used to begin my prayers; then I would go down to the river to fetch water, and would reascend the rough mountain pathway, singing a hymn, with the water-bottle on my shoulder. After that, I used to amuse myself by arranging everything in my cell. I used to take up my tools, and examine the mats, to see whether they were evenly cut, and the baskets, to see whether they were light; for it seemed to me then that even my most trifling acts were duties which I performed with ease. At regulated hours I left off my work and prayed, with my two arms extended. I felt as if a fountain of mercy were flowing from Heaven above into my heart. But now it is dried up. Why is this? ..."
He proceeds slowly into the rocky enclosure.

Lisa is amazing. I didn't know her till 3 months ago. I just randomly called one of her listings as I was curious about the price of the beachfront property. And that was the start of our interaction with this truly seasoned and professional individual. She shared with me lots of listings via email based on my preference. She then spent a few days showing us beach condos up and down Orange County that would help us decide what we liked. We finally narrowed it down to Laguna Beach. She claimed she was experienced and knew all the beach properties from Long Beach to Laguna Beach and she was so right. She has always been available for us, I mean 24 x 7. She would pull out the time on a 1 hr notice to drive down to Laguna to show us places. We finally found something we loved and then started the real process. I am a seasoned buyer and have been in escrows for over 20 years. Lisa is at a different level. She would email and text us and call us all throughout the process, keeping us updated on what is going on. With her experience, she was neither excessively communicating nor under. That is an art. Trust me. Did I tell you all this while she is in the middle of arranging a wedding for her daughter? Wow. She was on top of everything. It all ended wonderfully and I have the keys to my dream beach condo at Laguna Beach. Me and my wife are very happy to close this deal. All ended with keys and a welcome gift. If you are working with Lisa, enjoy the process and you can trust her judgment and professionalism. Thank you, Lisa.
I met Lisa at an open house and she was very helpful, insightful & knowledgeable about the current market. She came to my home and we listed my property. She helped me with very useful tips on what I could do to get the most amount of money for my home. She even helped with organizing the home and understood my needs. From the get-go, I could trust her knowing small details would be tended to. We listed the home but did not get the activity due to the market conditions. Her advice was to take it off the market, stage it, and put it back on the market. This made all of the difference in the world! When we did re-list the property we got an immediate offer but had a big issue with an un-permitted room. Lisa's patience, knowledge, and expertise got me through that hurdle. My home sold with what I can call a "challenging buyer". She organized and strategically delegated my up leg sale in the home I own now and made it all work. The time and involvement made her the true professional that she is. She cares about her clients and their bottom line. She is a true pleasure to work with. She also made the process fun! She is knowledgeable & skilled in negotiating. If Lisa was not my agent I would not be where I am today!
A few years ago my husband Jason and I were in a tough situation with a condo we purchased in Huntington Beach, and we were looking for a knowledgeable Realtor® in the area to help give us advice as to whether we should list it for sale or not. Lisa was the most recognizable name and face in HB from all of her high-end listings on PCH, so we called her out of the blue and weren't sure if we would get a response. Lisa not only called back promptly but took the time to come to our home, review the situation with us, and give us an honest assessment instead of pushing to get the listing. Her advice helped us to achieve our financial goals over the past few years and helped us move to a much more desirable (and stress-free) home. I hold Lisa in high regard because of this experience, and because she really is a local in the area. She doesn't disappear after a transaction but instead, you see her in local businesses or even in a yoga class. If you want a Realtor® that will be in it with you for the long haul, Lisa is a great choice!
Lisa helped us make buying our dream home a reality. As an agent, she is so knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about Southern California real estate, and she works around the clock for her clients. Lisa was there for us every step of the way, from first finding our home to submitting the offer and counter-offers, to working with her amazing team on financing and escrow all the way through to our closing and all the myriad steps and paperwork in between. Buying a home is a very taxing and emotional process but Lisa makes it smooth and even enjoyable thanks to her expertise and willingness to go above and beyond for her clients. She fights for her clients and helps to make sure you get the best value and the highest quality and was always available to answer questions and help us navigate through the entire process. We could not have asked for a better agent to represent us and have a beautiful home to show for it!
I've worked with Lisa on Real Estate investments, remodeling, and sales for over 10 years. She is simply the best. Her hard work starts with getting to know her client's whole situation because home-buying is extremely personal, as it affects your family, finances, and future. In my most recent sale, she directed the finishing touches to make a few upgrades that would matter the most to prospective buyers, including hiring the best value contractor to get the job done properly, on time, and on budget. That set the stage for great photographs to market the property online and with traditional media supporting the open house. Bottom Line: She found the right buyer at the right price to get an offer in just a couple of days. I highly recommend Lisa as a Realtor® and Agent who knows not only the local OC market well, but also out-of-state investment opportunities for those looking to diversify their Real Estate portfolio.
Lisa’s love of real estate grew out of her philosophy of a relentless work ethic and strong personal integrity. She takes pride in understanding her client’s needs and is committed to offering a personalized experience to result in success, every time. | <urn:uuid:bdc57d1f-2546-4ae2-8e91-2e723ff851b2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://lisakaros.com/testimonials | 2024-04-13T22:29:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.983167 | 1,264 |

Scholary Communication Center (SCC) at Alexander Libary – 169 College Ave; New Brunswick, NJ
Why do we need diverse books? What’s at the heart of the#WeNeedDiverseBooks movement? Why don’t we have enough diverse books? These and many other questions will be the topic of our Colloquium conversation on Wednesday, November 18.
Join authors Marina Budhos and Janet Wong along with children’s book critic Stacey Barney, children’s book publisher Shelley Diaz, and school librarian and children’s literature expert Roxanne Hsu Feldman. Joion us for a deep dive into this important and timely topic. Our own SC&I Professor Marc Aronson will moderate the discussion.
Some questions to think about before Colloquium:
What would diverse books they do for my audience/community/students?
How do / how should we promote diverse books in our libraries?
How do we evaluate diverse books?
In what ways is #WeNeedDiverseBooks a social justice issue?
What are we not yet talking about? | <urn:uuid:a2301553-bac9-4e58-88f2-7c9ce97ae6f1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://lissa.rutgers.edu/mi-speaker-series-nov-18-2015-weneeddiversebooks-2/ | 2024-04-13T22:44:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.912439 | 244 |
The costs for upgrading to newer version of MSO still has some people I
know using MSO 2003, in business and home. Then there are those who
send out complex MSO 2010 .docx documents to people that cannot view
them, even on their MSO 2007 versions. I remind people that not
everyone has the newest version of MSO, due to budgets, etc., so they
need to either send out .doc files or .pdf files if those documents are
not going to be edited by the receivers. Using ODF could be the same
problem for business and home users.
Tod H. and others are correct about the cost of software also includes
the installation and the training involved. Adding the filters to
current version MSO so it can properly read/write ODF file would be a
good, if their version of MSO does not already have the ODF ability.
But, it will take a long time to get users to share ODF files with other
as a standard option.
The problem I am facing for home users is that they are being told by
others that you must use MSO if you have .doc files on your old
computer, when you get a new computer. I had one lady use OOo and use
.doc as the default format. Then she goat a laptop and her son
convinced her that she had to buy a copy of MSO for her new laptop,
instead of using LO as a replacement to OOo. She was using OOo since it
could read/write .doc files. I got her to use it. But since everyone
told her that she now has to use MSO for her .doc files, she felt that
she must buy it instead of the free software that she had been using for
years. It is the pressure to use MSO over any free alternatives that we
need to go up against.
In the 3.6.0 announcement, there was a list of governments/groups that
now use LO. It really think that there needs to be a list of these
governments, agencies, businesses, educational institutions, etc., etc.,
so they we can point to that list and say - these
organizations/governments have switched to LO and/or FOSS for they needs
so maybe you should look into doing so as well. If we can show people
that governments and big businesses have switched, then there is more
evidence that switching to LO might not be a bad idea.

[rrd-users] Need Help Migrating RRD data
jkwade at futurefrontiers.com
Fri May 15 16:20:48 CEST 2009
So, I am using Hobbit(xymon) to monitor our servers, and
I wrote a script that gives the number of users
accessing specific URL's which goes into the RRD database.
I now want to track the number of users accessing another
URL, so I modified my script to add another column to the
If this was a new script, Hobbit would automatically generate
the new RRD database and set it up with default values, and
the new entry would be included.
So, I know I can just remove the existing database and have it
re-create the database and it will start pulling the new data.
However, I want my old data from the other values in there
in addition to the new one.
So, how do I go about adding the additional column? Can I just
add it, or do I have to re-create the database? If I have to recreate
the file, how do I export the old data and put it in the new file?
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Literary Agent Association Membership (AAR) is divided into two divisions or branches, and membership can’t be “bought.” In other words, books agents have to meet certain criteria before they can even apply.
Read this article to find out what the requirements are, and learn how to submit your book to agents with an active Literary Agent Association Membership… so you can get a top publisher and book deal.
This article is part of my guide to the Association of Authors’ Representatives.
* * *
Literary Agent Association Membership – Two Divisions
Literary Agent Association Membership is divided into two different branches. Most literary agents are members of only one branch, while other literary agents are members of both:
The Literary Branch
To apply for Literary Agency Association membership in the literary division, an applicant must have been principally responsible for executed agreements concerning the grant of publication, translation, or performance rights in ten or more different literary properties during the 18 months preceding the application.
The Dramatic Branch
To apply for Literary Agency Association membership in the dramatic division, an applicant must have been principally responsible for the grant of rights for at least five stage productions before live audiences in First Class, Off Broadway, LORT, or New York City major institutional theaters during the two years preceding the application. At least one such grant must have used either the Approved Production Contract of the Dramatists Guild of America or have been for production Off Broadway in New York City. Film or television performance contracts are also considered.
* * *
Literary Agent Association Membership – Additional Requirements
To qualify for Literary Agency Association membership, agents must meet professional standards specified in the Literary Agent Association Membership By-Laws and agree to subscribe to the Literary Agent Association Membership Canon of Ethics.
Members of the Literary Agent Association must have conducted, and must commit to continuing to conduct, their business in compliance with their legal and fiduciary duties to their clients. In addition, two active Literary Agent Association members must submit supporting recommendations on company letterhead, including specific information.
Full Literary Agent Association Membership costs $150 per calendar year, with a one-time $150 initiation fee. The application process is individual and thorough. Literary Agent Association Associates pay $75 per year with no application fee. Learn more about these two different levels of Literary Agent Association membership below.
* * *
Literary Agent Association Membership – Two Levels of Membership
There are two Literary Agent Association membership levels, based on an individual agent’s level of experience:
- Full Membership: This level of Literary Agency Association membership is restricted to agents whose primary professional activity for at least the two years preceding their application has been as an authors’ or playwrights’ representative.

It is believed that Halloween originated in Celtic island around 2000 years ago, with the festival known as Samhain (pronounced sow-in). The festival celebrated the divide of the two halves of the year- summer and winter; light and dark.
During the Samhain, the veils between this world and the other world were at their thinnest allowing spirits to pass through.
Families would invite lost loved ones and ancestors into their homes to share in their celebrations, and in order to avoid harm from evil spirits, they would wear costumes and masks to disguise themselves.
Over the time, the night before traditionally known as Samhain became All Hallows Eve and, eventually, Halloween.
Origin of Halloween Costumes
Dressing up during Halloween originated from the celts who dressed up as evil spirits to avoid harm from other evil spirits during the Samhain festival. The festival also includes the custom called trick-or-treating. Trick-or-treating mainly consists of children running around on sugar highs collecting candies.
In medieval Britain, the young would also dress up in Halloween costumes, and they would go door to door collecting food and sometimes even money. In exchange, they would sing, recite poetry, story, or jokes. These traditions were revived in the 19th century in America by the Irish and Scottish migrants in the form we know today trick-or-treat.
The Evolution of Halloween Costumes
In the early 1900s, Halloween was only centered around private parties and gathering within the community. People would make scary masks out of paper mache, and create costumes from home fabrics, wax, and makeup.

Hi. I’m Matt. And this is Logos Made Flesh.
This movie may not look like a sermon to the sexes. It’s an action film. One crazed carnivalesque chase scene, from beginning to end. And yet Fury Road has been widely recognized as a feminist film! It’s about powerful women, specifically the war-rig driver Furiosa and the female band she rescues from sexual enslavement. And in a land of mothers, we’re introduced to even more badass women.
The male Max, by contrast, seems a lesser figure. For the first quarter of the film, he’s an incapacitated victim. And when released, he rarely speaks, fighting alongside or at the direction of Furiosa. But this is a movie equally for men and it would be a mistake to downplay Max’s role. What he does and what’s done to him becomes the film’s symbol of redemption.
The film presents Max as a bird of prey. Though he tries to fly from captivity, he’s confined to a birdcage and made to wear a muzzle that resembles a beak. Which is in part defined in the dashes bobbling birds head. But Max isn’t just any bird, rising from the ashes of a fiery crash, he’s revealed to be the Pheonix. And it’s this resurrected bird who appears destined to confront the beast who boasts. “I am your redeemer. It is by my hand you will rise from the ashes of this world.”
But it’s a lie! Under the control of Immortan Joe (who lives by machine), People, like nature, have been reduced to fuel. His female concubines are charged to give birth to his warriors. And if they aren’t producing them, they’re being drained of their milk to fuel them. Males are likewise exploited, promised a heavenly reward if they fight and die for Joe’s rule. And if they aren’t fighting, their blood is drained like gas for those that do.
It’s because the women have been oppressed by this man that they fly to a world without men. But for obvious reasons, they find that world equally doomed. It’s Max who stops them from going further. Like them, he began the film avoiding others. But now he’s a changed man.
Subjected, like the women, to the position of a rape victim, Max is bound via a chain of blood to the war-boy Nux. and through that image symbolically impregnated with him, placed at the mercy of his unborn child in the driver seat. The film further suggests this relationship in the mirrored images of an unborn baby’s foot and umbilical chord.
At first, Max shows little concern for his newborn. It’s only after their link stops Nux from carrying out Joe’s wishes and Nux turns to use that same link to help Max, that Max comes to embrace Nux as Son. Investing him with a boot and the control of the War-Rig. Nux has become a little Max which is what his name reflects. Now a mother, Max washes in “mother’s milk” and is accepted into the “land of many mothers.”
It’s this male and female Max who turns the women towards the source of their oppression. Life, for Max, is found in redeeming this one. Which can only happen when men and women unite against the exploitation of the beast and his machine.
Fury Road isn’t just a post-apocalyptic film. It’s the apocalypse itself – a retelling of the book of Revelation. The Citadel, over which Joe rules is the city of Babylon with its legendary hanging gardens. Joe is the beast, possessing a mouth like a lion. And the dragon, seeking to devour the woman and her child.
Like Revelation, Fury Road is epic vision of humanities restoration from the fall. According to Genesis, Revelation’s source, it was in following a serpent, that the sexes were cursed to an endless cycle of subjugation. The serpent was cursed to eat the dust and war with woman. The woman to war with man. And man to war with the ground until he returns to the dust in death, to be eaten by the serpent.
But both the book and film pick up on Genesis’ promise that one day the woman’s child will crush the serpents head. Max is said to eat shlanger. Joe is called a shalnger. And because the word is undefined in the film it evokes the imagine of the one thing Max does eat. Instead of being eaten in the dust. Fury Road opens with Max eating the serpent’s head.
Son of Man
In Revelation, it’s Jesus, the Son of Man, the ideal man and representative of all men, who brings this war to an end. The Pheonix is a traditional symbol of him. Max, like Jesus, is “lifted up” on a cross so that his universal blood can give life to the dying. Nux’s hoped for resurrection becomes a reality not in Joe’s exploitation but in the passion and resurrection of Max who pulls Nux from a symbolic tomb and womb.
In the end, it’s Max’s born again son who gives his life for others, in witness, the meaning of martyr, overturning the oppression of jihad to halt the long train of war. The woman also brings about an end to the war, slaying the beast by stripping his mouth and her hand of the machine. But in the midst of the fight, Furiousa receives a mortal wound. A symbolic inversion of woman’s creation from a bone in man’s side. And yet its this creation account which explains why man sacrifices to restore the unity between the sexes.
It’s though a picture of marriage that Max becomes one with Furiosa. He reopens her side, drains his blood to fill her and ultimately gives her his name. This is life. Man lays down his life for his wife as the Woman gives life to their child. And through mutual self-giving renews the world. Fury Road ends like Revelation with a marriage between Christ and his bride, a transformed people and city where the water’s of life flow without ceasing. By the sacrifice of the ideal redeemer, woman and the world are lifted up.
All that from one hell of an action film. | <urn:uuid:d34a571e-89d6-48c0-8081-bff412e95bf1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://logosmadeflesh.com/2016/08/18/mother-max-fury-road/ | 2024-04-13T22:52:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.961769 | 1,385 |
The Alternative Tentacles logo is a powerful symbol in the world of music, particularly in the punk and independent record label scenes. The logo, with its intertwined tentacles, represents a unique and rebellious spirit that has left an indelible mark on the music industry.
Alternative Tentacles was founded in the late 1970s by punk rock icon Jello Biafra, the lead singer of Dead Kennedys. The logo was created as a representation of the label’s philosophy and dedication to supporting alternative and underground music.
With its distinctive design, the Alternative Tentacles logo quickly became a recognizable symbol within the punk community. It became synonymous with the label’s commitment to promoting music that challenged the mainstream and pushed boundaries.
The logo’s impact extends beyond just its visual representation. It has become a symbol of resistance and counterculture, representing the independent spirit of artists and fans alike. The logo has adorned album covers, concert posters, and merchandise, serving as a badge of honor for those who identify with the alternative music scene.
The Birth of Alternative Tentacles Logo
When discussing the underground music scene of the ’80s and ’90s, one logo stands out as a symbol of independent spirit and rebellion: the Alternative Tentacles logo. This iconic symbol, with its unmistakable image of tentacles, has become synonymous with the punk and alternative music genres.
The logo was created in the early days of Alternative Tentacles, a record label founded by Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys. Biafra wanted a logo that would represent the label’s unique vision and showcase its commitment to pushing boundaries and challenging mainstream norms. Inspired by underground comics and the DIY ethos of punk culture, the Alternative Tentacles logo was born.
The Impact of the Logo
The Alternative Tentacles logo quickly became a powerful emblem of counterculture and rebellion. It captured the spirit of the underground music scene and resonated with fans who were hungry for something different. The logo adorned album covers, t-shirts, and posters, serving as a visual representation of the label’s dedication to independent and alternative music.
The logo’s tentacles symbolize the label’s reach and influence within the music industry. It represents the label’s ability to branch out and support a wide range of artists and genres, all united by their commitment to challenging the status quo. The tentacles also serve as a metaphor for the label’s ability to infiltrate and disrupt the mainstream, like a subversive force that cannot be confined.
Legacy and Evolution
Over the years, the Alternative Tentacles logo has evolved and adapted, reflecting the changing landscape of music and culture. It has remained a constant presence in the punk and alternative scenes, consistently representing the label’s commitment to independent music and free expression.
Today, the logo continues to symbolize the spirit of Alternative Tentacles and its dedication to underground music. It serves as a reminder of the label’s impact and influence on the music industry, and its lasting legacy as a champion of independent artists.
As the music industry continues to evolve, the Alternative Tentacles logo stands as a testament to the power of independent labels and the artists who refuse to be confined by mainstream expectations. It represents the tentacles of creativity and rebellion that continue to push boundaries and challenge the status quo.
The Evolution of the Logo
The underground music scene in the late 1970s was characterized by a rebellious spirit and a rejection of mainstream culture. Independent labels emerged to give a platform to punk and alternative bands who were overlooked by major record companies. Alternative Tentacles was one such label, established by Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra in 1979.
The original Alternative Tentacles logo reflected the ethos of the label and its commitment to supporting alternative and underground music. It featured a tentacle, representing both the label’s name and its mission to explore music that wasn’t part of the mainstream. This logo quickly became associated with the punk and alternative movements of the time.
Over the years, as the underground scene evolved and Alternative Tentacles continued to grow, the logo underwent several transformations. It maintained its distinctive tentacle motif, but the typography and overall design were updated to reflect changing trends and aesthetics.
The Punk Influence
In its early years, the Alternative Tentacles logo embraced the raw and DIY aesthetic of the punk movement. The bold, hand-drawn typography and the simple tentacle illustration captured the rebellious and provocative nature of the music and the label’s artists.

Creating an altar is one of the most significant traditions during Día de los Muertos festivities both in Mexico and in my home. Each and every element of an altar has special significance and is meant to remember and celebrate our loved ones who have left the mortal world. The real beauty behind a Day of the Dead altar is that it can be simple or elaborate, and can also be built communally or individually. Below are three altars that I find particularly beautiful and hope that they serve as inspiration for you!
Altar #1 by Elexia de la Parra, Casa Artelexia. Elexia is the owner of Casa Artelexia, a lovely San Diego gift shop that specializes in handcrafted Mexican gifts, art, and home décor. She also hosts fun cultural workshops and recently began offering food tours to Mexico. She hosts an annual Día de los Muertos celebration at her shop and builds a community altar where people can share photos, mementos, or leave a note for their deceased loved ones.
Communal alters are particularly important because anyone who has lost a loved one knows that it takes a community of family and friends to help get through the mystery of a death, especially an untimely one. A group alter reminds us that through death we are all united and that as a community it is important to celebrate and appreciate life.
The bright tablecloth, papel picado, and vibrant flowers really bring this altar to life! Photo courtesy of Casa Artelexia.
Black-and-white photos, a few bottles of tequila, pan de muerto (Day of the Dead bread), colorful calaveras (sugar skulls), and veladora candles add a special touch to this altar. Photo courtesy of Casa Artelexia.
I love how Mexican bean pots, dishes, and molinillos (wooden whisks) are part of this altar’s ofrendas (offerings). Photo courtesy of Casa Artelexia.
Altar #2 by Nicole Makrinos, Flan and Apple Pie. My friend Nicole is the blogger behind Flan and Apple Pie and was inspired to honor her yia yia (Greek grandmother) this year for Día de los Muertos. She recently passed away after 91 years of life, but her memory, recipes, and love of baking live on through Nicole. Surely the aroma of her yia yia’s sweet treats will fill the air as she brings her altar to life!
Nicole’s altar includes homegrown zinnia flowers, Day of the Dead food-themed papel picado, and photos of her grandmother — one from her graduation because she loved to study, and the other in the kitchen, which shows her love for entertaining and baking. Photo courtesy of Flan and Apple Pie.
Nicole also included some of her grandmother’s favorite sweets and treats (coffee, chocolate, and bananas) as well as a Yahtzee game because Yia Yia held the title of Yahtzee champion in their family. Photo courtesy of Flan and Apple Pie.
Altar #3 by moi, Lola Wiarco Dweck, Lola’s Cocina. My altar celebrates the lives of my father, baby cousin Olivia, my maternal grandparents and great grandparents, and my husband’s grandmother. Each year I include a little something new to my altar – this year, I added handmade paper flowers, decorative calaveras, and unique candles. If this doesn’t awaken the souls of my dearly departed, I don’t know what will!
My altar decor seems to get more elaborate each year. In time it will take up an entire room!
I display my photos on a separate, smaller table so that they don’t get lost among all of the other offerings and decor!
Here I include a clay bean pot for my great grandma Macky who always had a fresh pot of beans on the stove (even though she had a freezer full of frozen beans)! You can also see a small bowl of chile japonés, for my grandma Lola who used these to make her world famous salsa.
Pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread) serves as a sweet welcome on Day of the Dead. My altar also includes a bowl of garlic for my great grandpa Pete who loved garlic sandwiches, a glass chicken, which reminds me of one that my great grandma Angie used to have, and water, salt, and fall fruits.
Last but not least, there’s always a mini chia pet on my altar for my father. You see, he and his compadre, my uncle Dennis, used to give each other a chia pet as a gag gift and it became an ongoing joke in our family. Sometimes it would be lost for years, and then it would reappear on a holiday or birthday!

When Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed SB 1070 into law last April, the initial response would have led you to believe that she had made the worst political mistake of her career. Most national Republicans were silent on the bill, and a few, like Marco Rubio, were critical. A worldwide boycott quickly developed and the state, which had once decided not to celebrate Martin Luther King Day, was put into late-night comic hell. “It’s a dry fascism” was only one of the tag lines associated with Arizona.
A few weeks later, the first polls showed the public taking a decidedly pro-racial profiling stance. Six-in-ten Americans and seven-in-ten Arizonans said that the bill should be given a try. Even after a federal court stopped SB 1070 from going into effect because of its dubious constitutionality, popular support remained high.
Legally, SB 1070 may be a non-starter, but politically it was a game changer.
In the last years of the Bush administration, Arizona had been turning purple. Its Goldwater Republicanism had been challenged by smart Democratic moderates bolstered by a growing Latino electorate. The state had a Democratic governor and when favorite son John McCain ran for President in 2008 he only got 54 percent of the vote. Five of the eight congressional representatives from Arizona were Democrats, and Democrats held a number of statewide elected offices.
All of that changed after SB 1070 was signed.
Jan Brewer, who had low approval ratings prior to SB 1070 and had been girding for a Republican primary challenge, waltzed into the nomination as the hero of the Tea Party. She then easily beat the state’s once popular Attorney General Terry Goddard by 13 percent.
The Arizona congressional delegation flipped in November. Democrats lost two of their five seats. Even among the three Democrats who won reelection, two won with less than 50 percent of the vote. In other words, only one Demcorat won reelection to Congress with a majority of the votes.
The Republicans were victorious in all eight statewide races. And the Democrats were virtually driven out of both houses of the Arizona legislature.
“We’re a one-pizza caucus. So the meetings are cheap,” Democratic State Senator Kyrsten Sinema recently told Politico, reflecting the despair she felt after her party declined to just nine members of the 30-seat State Senate.
Oh, did I mention that the State Senate will now be headed by Russell Pearce, the author of SB 1070? Pearce has declared the body the “Tea Party Senate.”
According to Politico, the single most important factor driving the massive Republican triumph was SB 1070.
Democrats who lashed out at the bill’s racism were successfully depicted as soft on illegal immigration. Those who supported the national boycott were described as traitors to their state. Federal intervention, successful though it was in defending the Constitution, gave rise to disturbing cries of “states’ rights” from Arizona politicians and voters alike.
Brewer’s signing of SB 1070 electrified and mobilized the Republican base. It also attracted many independent voters, who make up a third of the Arizona electorate. And, most importantly for the GOP, it did not produce the Latino backlash predicted by immigrant rights supporters. While Latinos voted overwhelmingly against Brewer in the gubernatorial election, their share of the total vote was disappointing. Latinos make up 18 percent of eligible voters in the state, but they made up only 13 percent of voters on election day.
Now that Arizona Republicans see the immigration issue as one that fires up their supporters while simultaneously depressing the Latino vote, they are getting ready to unroll a laundry list of bills attacking both undocumented immigrants and US-born Latino American citizens alike.
And other state Republican parties in the Southwest and Mountain states are looking to do the same. | <urn:uuid:b0607b68-7937-4b4d-9f63-0e7d1c8e9384> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://longislandwins.com/es/news/national/the-sb-1070-effect-in-arizona-politics-2/ | 2024-04-13T23:11:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.979227 | 782 |
The Danish national self-exclusion scheme, ROFUS, has been extended to include in-person betting shops, in tandem with new ID requirements introduced this month.
ROFUS has so far blocked registered bettors from participating in online games provided by licensed Danish operators from entering and gambling in physical casinos, as well asfrom receiving direct marketing from bookmakers.
Under its new remit, Danish customers who have registered or do register with ROFUS from 1 October onwards will now also be banned from entering and betting in retail betting shops.
However, customers registered on the system prior to the ID card launch on Sunday will have to re-register in order for the new scope of the blocking remit to be in full effect.
Spillemyndigheden, the Danish Gambling Authority (DGA), explained in a statement: “The background for the expansion of ROFUS and the implementation of the game card is a political desire to increase consumer protection and reduce the risk of young people under the age of 18 gaining access to games in physical stores. There is also a desire to strengthen efforts to combat match-fixing and money laundering.”
The extension of ROFUS’ scope comes amid growing registration numbers on the platform, which have been attributed by the DGA to increased awareness of the service it provides to people experiencing problems with gambling.
According to the latest stats from March, over 40,000 Danish bettors are now registered with ROFUS, and according to a 2021 survey conducted by the DGA over 45% of Danes are aware of the scheme.
As mentioned above, ROFUS’ expansion comes in tandem with the adoption of player IDs for Danish retail betting, requiring all customers to have an ID card linked to an online account in order to bet in a shop;
Player ID cards were first proposed in 2019 as a player protection and anti-money laundering measure, with – as alluded to by the DGA – reducing risk and better safeguarding customers the primary concern for policymakers.
Politicians from across the Danish political spectrum were supportive of the cards, with representatives from the Social Democrats, Social Liberal Party, Venstre, Danish People’s Party, Socialist People’s Party, Red-Green Alliance, Christian Democrats and The Alternative reiterating support for the initiative in 2021. | <urn:uuid:44c5bdaf-d161-4747-ac49-05cf04a59cff> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://lotterydaily.com/2023/10/02/csr/denmark-rofus-retail-expansion/ | 2024-04-13T23:52:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.961235 | 480 |

In the heart of the Canadian cannabis landscape, cannabinoids stand as the undisputed architects of the myriad effects inherent to this highly sought-after plant. These chemical compounds, each possessing its unique characteristics, orchestrate the symphony of experiences cherished by cannabis enthusiasts from coast to coast. At the forefront, we encounter the infamous THC, capable of inducing mind-altering euphoria that has become synonymous with recreational cannabis use. On the flip side, the calming embrace of CBD offers a respite, particularly valued by those seeking relief from various ailments.
Navigating the complexities of cannabinoids unveils a rich tapestry that transcends mere recreational enjoyment. Whether you’re an individual drawn to the allure of a euphoric high or someone exploring the therapeutic potential of cannabis, a profound understanding of cannabinoids is not merely advantageous—it’s an absolute necessity. This article embarks on a journey of enlightenment, meticulously unraveling the mysteries concealed within cannabinoids, with an explicit focus on THC, THCA, CBD, and CBN.
The dichotomy between recreational and medicinal cannabis experiences underscores the versatility of cannabinoids. As we delve deeper, it becomes apparent that this comprehensive guide is more than a compendium of information; it is a gateway to a nuanced understanding of the diverse roles cannabinoids play in the Canadian cannabis market. It is an exploration of the chemical intricacies that elevate cannabis from a mere plant to a complex botanical marvel.
Join us on this odyssey through the fascinating world of cannabinoids, where we shed light on their significance and explore the nuanced effects they bestow upon cannabis enthusiasts. From the mind-altering euphoria induced by THC to the raw potential of THCA, the non-psychoactive respite offered by CBD, and the sedative allure of CBN, each compound weaves its unique thread into the tapestry of the Canadian cannabis experience.
What Are Cannabinoids?
At the core of the cannabis plant’s complex chemistry lies a family of compounds known as cannabinoids, which hold the key to the diverse effects experienced by cannabis users. These chemical entities are unique to the cannabis genus and interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, a regulatory network influencing various physiological processes. Cannabinoids are characterized by their ability to bind to specific receptors, notably CB1 and CB2, distributed throughout the body, creating a cascade of effects.
Cannabinoids encompass a spectrum of over 100 identified compounds, each contributing to the plant’s pharmacological profile. Notable among them are THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the primary psychoactive cannabinoid renowned for inducing the euphoric “high” associated with cannabis use. CBD (cannabidiol), another prominent cannabinoid, offers a stark contrast by delivering therapeutic benefits without the psychoactive effects. Additionally, THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid), the precursor to THC, showcases its potential before undergoing decarboxylation, a crucial process in cannabis consumption. CBN (cannabinol), with its sedative properties, adds yet another dimension to the diverse array of cannabinoids found within the cannabis plant.
The significance of cannabinoids extends beyond their molecular structure, playing a pivotal role in shaping the effects of various cannabis products. THC, with its psychoactive prowess, is the primary driver behind the recreational allure of cannabis, offering users an experience characterized by euphoria and altered perception. On the medicinal front, CBD takes the spotlight, offering relief from conditions such as chronic pain, anxiety, and inflammation, devoid of the intoxicating effects associated with THC. THCA, in its raw form, contributes to the potential therapeutic benefits of cannabis before activation, while CBN is recognized for its calming and sleep-inducing properties.
In understanding cannabinoids, consumers gain a compass for navigating the vast landscape of cannabis products available in the Canadian market. Whether one seeks the euphoric highs of THC, the therapeutic potential of CBD, or the raw potential of THCA, a comprehensive knowledge of these cannabinoids empowers individuals to make informed choices aligned with their preferences and needs.
THC: The High Maker
Embarking on a profound exploration of THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, opens a gateway into the intoxicating world of cannabis experiences. As the primary psychoactive compound within the plant, THC holds the key to the euphoric highs cherished by recreational users. Its intricate interaction with the body’s endocannabinoid system triggers a cascade of effects, influencing both the mind and body. The effects of THC are multifaceted, inducing a sense of euphoria, heightened sensory perception, and altered time perception, creating a distinct experience for those who partake.
Delving into the physiological and psychological effects of THC reveals its remarkable impact on various aspects of the human experience. Physiologically, THC stimulates the release of dopamine, the neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward, intensifying the overall sensation of euphoria. Psychologically, THC interacts with the brain’s cannabinoid receptors, altering mood and perception. However, it’s crucial to note that the effects of THC can vary significantly between recreational and medicinal products.
In recreational products, THC takes centre stage, with strains cultivated specifically to achieve high THC content, delivering a potent and mind-altering experience. These products are tailored for those seeking the recreational euphoria associated with cannabis use. On the medicinal front, however, a nuanced approach emerges. Medicinal cannabis products often aim for a balanced cannabinoid profile, where THC’s psychoactive effects are complemented by other cannabinoids, such as CBD, to provide therapeutic benefits without an overwhelming high.
Strains with high THC content are particularly noteworthy in the cannabis landscape, attracting enthusiasts looking for an intense recreational experience. These strains are carefully cultivated to maximize THC levels, and their popularity reflects the demand for potent psychoactive effects.
THCA: The Raw Potential
Introducing THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, unveils a fascinating dimension of cannabis before the transformational process of decarboxylation. Unlike its more renowned counterpart THC, THCA is the precursor, existing in raw, unheated cannabis. In its raw form, THCA does not induce the psychoactive effects commonly associated with THC. Instead, it offers a glimpse into the raw potential of cannabis, harbouring therapeutic benefits that are distinct from its activated counterpart.
The process of converting THCA to THC is a crucial step in unlocking the full spectrum of cannabis effects. Through decarboxylation, a process activated by heat, THCA sheds its acidic precursor and transforms into the well-known psychoactive compound THC. This process is typically initiated by smoking, vaporizing, or cooking cannabis, releasing the potential within THCA and enhancing the overall potency of the product.
Exploring the potential therapeutic benefits of THCA unveils a range of promising applications. While research is ongoing, early studies suggest that THCA may possess anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anti-emetic properties, making it a subject of interest in the medicinal cannabis sphere. Additionally, its non-psychoactive nature in its raw form opens avenues for therapeutic exploration without the intoxicating effects associated with THC.
CBD: Beyond the High
In this comprehensive exploration of CBD, or cannabidiol, we navigate the multifaceted realm of this non-psychoactive cannabinoid, transcending the traditional boundaries associated with cannabis consumption. CBD stands as a cornerstone in the cannabis landscape, offering a therapeutic alternative that goes beyond the euphoric highs induced by THC. Crucially, CBD distinguishes itself by lacking the psychoactive properties characteristic of THC, making it an appealing option for those seeking relief without the intoxicating effects.
Delving into the non-psychoactive properties of CBD underscores its significance in medicinal applications. Unlike THC, CBD does not interact directly with the brain’s cannabinoid receptors, mitigating the risk of inducing a “high.” Instead, it exerts its influence on various receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system, contributing to a range of potential health benefits. This non-intoxicating nature positions CBD as a versatile and accessible option for a broad spectrum of users.
Unpacking the medicinal uses and potential health benefits of CBD reveals a diverse array of applications. From its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties to its potential in alleviating anxiety and promoting better sleep, CBD has garnered attention for its therapeutic versatility. As an integral player in the realm of medicinal cannabis, CBD offers an alternative avenue for those seeking relief from various conditions, without the psychotropic effects associated with THC.
Surveying the landscape of CBD products available in the Canadian market showcases the evolution of cannabis consumption. From tinctures and capsules to topicals and edibles, CBD-infused products have become increasingly accessible. This section provides a guide for individuals seeking CBD-based solutions, emphasizing the diverse options available within the Canadian cannabis market.
CBN: The Sleep Inducer
Embarking on an exploration of CBN, or cannabinol, leads us into the tranquil realm of cannabis, where this lesser-known cannabinoid takes centre stage as the ultimate sleep inducer. Unlike its more renowned counterparts, CBN is not typically present in abundance in fresh cannabis; instead, it arises as THC ages and oxidizes. The role of CBN in promoting sleep and relaxation is a hallmark of its pharmacological profile. Through its interaction with the endocannabinoid system, CBN exhibits sedative properties, making it a sought-after component for those seeking repose.
The profound role of CBN in promoting sleep and relaxation is rooted in its ability to interact with CB1 receptors in the central nervous system, influencing the regulation of sleep-wake cycles. This makes CBN a valuable cannabinoid for individuals struggling with insomnia or seeking a natural remedy for sleep-related issues. The soothing effects of CBN extend beyond sleep, offering relaxation that can be particularly beneficial for those dealing with stress and anxiety.
Potential therapeutic applications for CBN go beyond sleep enhancement, showcasing its versatility in addressing various health concerns. Early research suggests that CBN may possess anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and appetite-stimulating properties, expanding its potential applications in the realm of medicinal cannabis.
Mentioning CBN-rich strains and products becomes imperative, considering the growing interest in cannabinoids for specific effects. Strains with higher CBN concentrations are becoming popular among individuals specifically seeking sleep-inducing cannabis options. As CBN gains recognition for its unique attributes, the Canadian market witnesses an increasing availability of products designed to harness its potential.
Emerging Cannabinoids – Beyond the Basics
Venturing into the realm of emerging cannabinoids unveils a frontier beyond the well-known THC and CBD, introducing enthusiasts to the lesser-explored yet promising compounds like CBG (cannabigerol), CBC (cannabichromene), and THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin). This section serves as a gateway into the diverse array of cannabinoids that contribute to the intricate pharmacological profile of the cannabis plant.
The introduction to lesser-known cannabinoids marks a departure from the conventional, providing readers with a glimpse into the expanding world of cannabis compounds. CBG, often referred to as the “mother cannabinoid,” is gaining attention for its potential anti-inflammatory and neuro-protective properties. CBC, on the other hand, is noted for its potential anti-anxiety and antidepressant effects. THCV, a close relative of THC, showcases a unique profile with potential appetite-suppressant properties, opening up intriguing possibilities for those exploring cannabis beyond the basics.
Delving into the potential effects and therapeutic applications of these emerging cannabinoids adds depth to our understanding of the plant’s medicinal potential. Early research suggests that CBG may have applications in treating conditions such as glaucoma and inflammatory bowel disease, while CBC is being studied for its potential in pain management. THCV’s distinctive properties, including its potential to modulate the psychoactive effects of THC, contribute to the nuanced spectrum of cannabis experiences.
Highlighting products and strains rich in these lesser-known compounds becomes essential for those seeking a unique and tailored cannabis experience. As the market evolves, more products featuring elevated levels of CBG, CBC, and THCV are becoming available. Whether in the form of flower, concentrates, or infused products, these offerings provide enthusiasts with an opportunity to explore the specific effects attributed to these emerging cannabinoids.
The Entourage Effect
Delving into the intricacies of cannabis introduces us to the captivating phenomenon known as the entourage effect, a concept that underscores the harmonious synergy among cannabinoids. Unlike isolates, where individual cannabinoids stand alone, the entourage effect emphasizes the enhanced therapeutic and psychoactive potential when these compounds work collaboratively. This phenomenon recognizes that the sum of cannabis’s parts is greater than its individual constituents.
The entourage effect unfolds as cannabinoids work together synergistically, creating a dynamic interplay that amplifies their individual effects. This collaborative dance involves not only the well-known THC and CBD but also the myriad other cannabinoids present in the cannabis plant. Terpenes, aromatic compounds responsible for the plant’s distinctive fragrance, also play a crucial role in this symphony of effects. Together, these components contribute to the nuanced and varied experiences users encounter.
Considering the entourage effect is paramount when choosing cannabis products. Understanding how cannabinoids interact can guide consumers in making informed decisions aligned with their desired effects. For instance, a product with a balanced THC to CBD ratio may offer a more well-rounded experience, combining the euphoria of THC with the therapeutic benefits of CBD. Similarly, products rich in specific terpenes may enhance the entourage effect, influencing the overall sensory experience.
The Legal Landscape in Canada
Navigating the Canadian legal landscape concerning cannabinoids provides crucial insights into the evolving dynamics of the country’s cannabis industry. Canada stands at the forefront of cannabis legalization, and understanding the legal status of cannabinoids is integral for both consumers and industry stakeholders. The legal framework surrounding cannabinoids, including THC, CBD, and other compounds, has undergone significant evolution since the landmark legalization of recreational cannabis in 2018.
An overview of the legal status of cannabinoids in Canada underscores the progressive approach the country has taken towards cannabis.

Christmas is a special time of year when families and friends gather to celebrate, and tradition takes root in many households. While those moments spent together at home are priceless, there’s something exciting about taking time to switch up traditions and take the holiday on the road. In 2019, set your sights on a sunny holiday in Florida by booking a festive getaway to Fort Myers Beach. This Estero Island town is known and loved for its sugar-white beaches as well as incredible shopping and dining stops. When you’re ready to celebrate the season, do it in Florida style by making Fort Myers Beach your temporary home away from home and enjoying all this vibrant area has to offer up! Here are a few things you’ll want to add to that holiday calendar when your travel plans bring you this direction for a Christmas in Fort Myers Beach.
Enjoy the Christmas in Fort Myers Beach Boat Parade
Make the most of your Gulf-side getaway this year by taking time to admire and enjoy the annual Fort Myers Beach Christmas Boat Parade when you’re in town. This popular tradition is in its 31st year in 2019 and invites guests to come to linger along Estero Bay as more than 30 vessels take to the water decked out in their holiday best. This display of boats is sure to dazzle as decks, masts and beyond are designed to twinkle stern to bow with holiday lights. This year the festivities take place on December 7th between 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm.
Find the Perfect Gift at Santa’s Last Stop
It’s likely that in the hustle and bustle of packing for your trip to Fort Myers Beach, you may have missed a gift or two along the way. There’s no need to worry when you plan on spending some time at Santa’s Last Stop December 21st or December 22nd when you’re here!

The market is open from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm both days and includes a gift-wrapping station as an added convenience.
Edison Ford Holiday Nights

1 – The National Electric Code prohibits the use of conventional circuit breakers as a switch. Using the handle on a circuit breaker repeatedly will reduce its protective rating and can result in nuisance trips and possibly increase the potential for a fire hazard. Switch grade breakers or AC relays are required to add on/off control at the circuit level.
2- Eliminates “vampire” or “phantom” power loss by turning off your equipment at the circuit level and taking electronics out of standby mode. Almost all electronic devices draw current even when you turn them “off”. This is estimated to be approximately 11% of your electric bill. Shutting equipment off at the circuit level eliminates this wasted energy.
3 –Heat is the enemy of electronics, so shutting them completely off will let them last longer. This is true for any device with a processor or switch mode power supply inside. Taking electronics out of standby mode will actually reduce maintenance costs as well by allowing the circuit boards and power supplies to stay cool .
4 – Protects your AVL systems from electrical mishaps through defined powering protocols during start-up and turn-off. This includes defining the order of powering, sequential powering to spread out electrical inrush, prevent speaker “thumps” or damage, as well as delayed turn-off to allow equipment to cool properly.
5 – Intelligent systems allow for the scheduled shut down of electrical systems. Scheduling shut down will assure that anything accidentally left on will be turned off automatically even if no one’s around.
6 – Advanced systems offer Internet access to your control system. This lets facilities managers check the status of their electrical system remotely, and can allow them to turn systems on or off without driving to the building.
7 – Zoning features give you the capability to power only the equipment or lighting that you need, and not the entire room. Zoning can also allow you to turn off equipment with motors and/or fans during the spoken word to eliminate distracting background noise.
8 – Intelligent control systems can be integrated into your fire alarm system to automatically shut off amplifiers and turn on egress lighting. This reduces redundant equipment and wiring which lowers the cost of meeting local fire codes.
9 – Under and/or over voltage protection can also be added for another layer of equipment protection by assuring “clean” power. This feature automatically shuts down your electronics in case of electrical anomalies that can harm equipment.
10 – Monitoring current with your intelligent power control system allows your technical staff to identify equipment faults and the tracking of energy use/savings. You can’t measure improvements or monitor energy savings if you can’t measure power usage. | <urn:uuid:abc5df20-ac39-4041-a568-01a793ea3be3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://lyntec.com/top-10-reasons-to-use-intelligent-power-control/ | 2024-04-13T22:02:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.922673 | 553 |

UPDATE: Director DEAN ISRAELITE recently spoke to IGN about the film:
“I read the script and was really surprised by it and thought there was a really cool, contemporary, mature but still playful, buoyant and fun take on the material, and was updated in a really interesting way. It had this wonderful character that’s essential to going on a fantastic adventure. I was instantly drawn to it. I remember it as a kid. I grew up with it in South Africa. When I opened the script I had no idea how it was going to be updated, and I was really impressed by it. So I put a really big presentation together, because I needed to win the job. There were a lot of guys going out for it and saw the potential in it, so I put a really big presentation together and was lucky enough to get the job. We’re in sort of a soft pre-production right now, doing a lot of design work and reimagining the world. It’s really cool and exciting.”
Lets hope Israelite delivers the ‘Power Rangers’ movie that we all have been waiting for.
You can head over to IGN for the full interview.
UDPATE: Lionsgate have announced that the film will be pushed back from July 22, 2016 until January 13, 2017.
UPDATE: According to THE WRAP, filmmaker DEAN ISRAELITE (Project Almanac) is in early talks to direct the upcoming POWER RANGERS movie.
Stay tuned for more details!
UPDATE: Looks like the Green/White Ranger himself, JASON DAVID FRANK, will be making (at least) a cameo in the upcoming POWER RANGERS movie!
When asked by ComicBook.com about his involvement in the Power Rangers reboot he said:
“I probably will be involved. They talked to me about it. I don’t know how much I am involved, but for sure cameos at least in the reboot movie.”
They asked him if he knew what direction the new film would take with its script or cast:
“No, I haven’t heard anything, except for what Roberto released. They are so tight-lipped on that project, it’s ridiculous. I don’t even know my involvement into it. They talked to me about being involved, and the fans would love to see me involved. You know, we were originally talking about a Green Ranger series, but unfortunately just due to the Lionsgate movie, they don’t want to overshadow anything or suppress the appetite of the fans, which is a little disappointing, but there’s still possibilities of it. It’s just I think they are trying to save…honestly, I think they are trying to save my appearance for the Lionsgate movie.”
UPDATE: Release date is set for JULY 22, 2016!
UPDATE: ‘X-Men: First Class’ and ‘Thor’ screenwriters ASHLEY MILLER and ZACK STENTZ have been hired for POWER RANGERS along with ROBERTO ORCI (Transformers, Star Trek: Into Darkness) serving as the executive producer!

LIONSGATE and SABAN are partnering up for a brand new live-action MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS movie. Creator Hain Saban believes this is a perfect partnership because he said Lionsgate “is the perfect home for elevating our Power Rangers brand to the next level. They have the vision, marketing prowess and incredible track record in launching breakthrough hits from ‘The Hunger Games’ to ‘Twilight’ and ‘Divergent.’ In partnership with the Lionsgate team, we’re confident that we will capture the world of the Power Rangers and translate it into a unique and memorable motion picture phenomenon with a legacy all its own.”
The last two ‘Power Rangers’ movies were release by 20th Century Fox in 1995 with ‘Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie’ and ‘Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie’ in 1997.
Lets just hope they bring back KOICHI SAKAMOTO and his ALPHA STUNTS TEAM to handle the action choreography. Sakamoto handled the action for the ‘Power Rangers’ franchise from 1995’s original series up to 2009’s ‘Power Rangers R.P.M.’ His stunt team was also responsible for cult-favorites ‘Drive’ starring MARK DACASCOS and the sequel to the live-action adaptation of the anime film ‘Guyver: Dark Hero’.
If they can also somehow bring back JASON DAVID FRANK, that would be one hell of a treat for ‘Power Ranger’ fans.
Here’s hoping the action in the new movie will be as badass as the fight below: | <urn:uuid:5fe8f305-a195-43fb-b6b2-201c729af64c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://maactioncinema.com/archives/422 | 2024-04-13T21:51:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.954236 | 1,649 |
I have been using ssh keys for all my ssh authentication for years, but for some reason after upgrading to OSX Mojave I found that my key based authentication would no longer work. So I used the following command to add my ssh key to the keychain and things were working well, or so I thought.
ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/[your-private-key]
This command did fix the issue, and I was able to perform ssh key based authentication again just fine… until I rebooted my mac. Fortunately my mac didn’t need to be rebooted very frequently, but then each time I would end up rebooting I would face the same conundrum… “Why am I not able to authenticate with my servers… oh right my key isn’t loaded…”. I needed to find a way to permanently add my ssh key to the keychain in OSX Mojave.
It turns out that this is a relatively simple procedure, once you know what to do. In the
file you can add specific host entries to allow you to use specific settings, ciphers, keys, etc with a certain host. Or general settings to be used for all hosts. So I just added the following line to the “Host *” section of the file
And voilà they key is used each time you open an ssh connection, for any host. | <urn:uuid:0466c853-67e7-4d8b-893e-3dfa412bc9a8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://macnative.com/permanently-add-my-ssh-key-to-the-keychain-in-osx-mojave/ | 2024-04-13T21:51:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.957184 | 289 |

I have some electronics knowledge but not not enough to help with this challenge so I hope you can help me
I am replacing a wired Gate intercom system with a wireless system..The gate is approx 1000 yards from the property and has an existing 12 VAC supply supplied via an underground cable going back to house. The NEW intercom system requires 12 VDC so I installed a AC TO DC convertor in the existing PSU box..
The convertor has a LM7812 regulator so I thought it was a simple job of connecting the AC supply to the PCB and hey presto 12 VDC O/P ...BUT nothing.. I have checked the Spec sheet of the LM7812 and it says to achieve 12 VDC output a minimum of 14 VAC is required, I have 14.8 VAC.. Either the PCB is faulty or the regulator requires a higher voltage input..I have sent the PCB back for a replacement but I was wondering if it isn't faulty what else could it be..I cannot change the AC input/ transformer to a higher voltage as the owners have no idea where the supply comes from in their house so I only have the existing supply. Is there a way to increase the 14.8 VAC incase that is the reason for not powering the regulator. ? I am also limited to space in the PSU box so cannot add too much circuitry...I need 12 VDC - 1 to 1.5 amp
Hope you can help..Yours Hopefully Wayne | <urn:uuid:a20ba237-a3d3-4cfe-a6db-8f2a0194c5e2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://maker.pro/forums/threads/increase-12-vac.292687/ | 2024-04-13T23:21:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.944076 | 300 |
To all those girls with oily and acne-prone skin who want to include serum into their regimen, but hesitate due to the heaviness of the serums, I would like to say that Clinique has a product for you. Though this product – Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Damage Corrector is labeled as a treatment potion to reverse damage caused by sun and other factors, I definitely think girls with oily skin can use this as a serum. A little info about the product:
Repair wear laser focus is based on decades of scientific research. It provides high-level peptides to boost the production of natural collagen and a patented enzyme blend that works to mend visible UV damage. Its a combination that produces striking reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles starting in just 4 weeks.
How To Use:
Apply 3 to 4 drops twice a day to face and around eyes. Compatibility with Clinique’s other de-aging regimens allow you to customize your daily routine. For increased prevention, add Superdefense by day and super rescue at night to fight the effects of stress, sun, pollution. For intense repair, a regimen of Youth Surge or Repairwear formulas can achieve meaningful improvement.
Rs. 3250 for 30 ml.
My Take on Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle and UV Damage Corrector:
This white, runny, milky liquid comes in a long, white, strong, opaque glass bottle with a stopper cap with a filler attached to it. The filler has a wide opening and picks up the liquid corrector adequately. At one time, you would get around 4 to 5 drops. Like all Clinique products, though this product has no added fragrance, one can still find that inevitable medicinal fragrance. This product is 100% allergy tested and fragrance free.
Texture wise, its a totally lightweight liquid. I take around 4 drops each on the back of my hand each time and blend it on to my face. It gets quickly absorbed into my skin without leaving any trace of grease, oil, or film behind. This serum thoroughly moisturizes and hydrates my skin without dulling down the skin tone. I find that it makes my skin texture supple. I use it after the cleansing, toning, and moisturizing routine when I am not going out and do not follow up with any other cream or lotion because it gives a certain freshness that remains through most part of the day. It does not make my face to sweat. I haven’t experienced any breakouts. One can wear it throughout the day under foundation or any other cream because it does not feel heavy on the skin.
The best part about this product is that it can be used during both daytime and night and even under the eyes and you can follow up with makeup products later on.
Coming to the effectiveness part, though this is marketed as a damage corrector, I use it as a serum which moisturizes and keeps my skin hydrated and supple. In a few weeks, I have noticed that it has worked on smoothing out the fine lines, I do not have major wrinkles, but I think for age-related wrinkles, this won’t be that effective.
This won’t treat sun burn patches, I have seen little to no effect on them though I religiously applied this on my face twice a day. This serum can be used as an under eye treatment because I have seen that it does take care of puffiness of eyes. What I do find is that my skin is becoming smooth and supple with its use. I have seen that it has brightened my skin tone and added the necessary moisture which acne-clearing ointments had ripped my skin off.
This serum works by providing skin the high level peptides to boost the production of natural collagen and an enzyme that reverses visible UV damage. This serum won’t clear out hyperpigmentation patches.
Using it over a few weeks, I have felt that I have much healthier skin now and there are no major breakouts except a few inevitable ones which scream that I have oily and sensitive skin.
Summing up the pros and cons:
Pros of Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle and UV Damage Corrector:
- A completely lightweight liquid serum-like texture which gets absorbed into the skin without leaving any grease or oily film behind.
- Continuous use over a few weeks leads to healthier skin.
- Can be used during both daytime and night time.
- Can be followed up with makeup products.
- Smoothes out fine lines.
- Keeps skin and moisturized through most part of the day.
- Claims to boost the production of natural collagen which keeps skin healthy and wrinkle free.
- Makes skin smooth and supple.
- 100% allergy tested and fragrance free.
- An effective moisturizer for oily and acne-prone skin.
- Can be used under the eye.
- Does not sting or burn.
Cons of Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle and UV Damage Corrector:
- Costly, 30 ml of serum costs Rs. 3250.
- Does not work on clearing out hyperpigmentation patches.
- Is not effective on sun burn patches.
- For stubborn wrinkles, this won’t work.

Don’t tell me you don’t have facial hair woes :suspicion: *nonono* If you don’t have any, “charansparsh MATAJI” and “jai ho.” *jai ho* We receive so many queries in mail asking for best facial hair removal options. While waxing, threading, bleaching, and permanent laser are all options, there is a tool with a spring system that pulls out hair from the root and is the best option for people who don’t want to bleach or wax their face.
Basically, its a coil/spring tool that’s around the length of a pencil with plastic handles at both ends. The spring tool is flexible and easily bends into any shape. The coil/spring is made of stainless steel I think. This tool needs to be formed into an “U” shape and through inward rotating movement, hair is pulled out from the area. It works similar to threading, but the only difference is that hair is pulled out from its root. Its a little painful, well, its a lot painful when you are trying it on the upper lip, but then, I would say, you can do threading in the comfort of your home.
Also, if you get one tool, it would last for a very long time. Its not a use-and-throw kind of thing, mine is still working, but I have heard you need to replace every six months or one year, not bad!
This is good to remove hair off from between the brows. Its a handy tool and is a must-have in any girl’s vanity, much better than those tweezers.
On the flip side, you would have to go through an area many times over because there is no precision. With threading, one can remove hair over an area in one go, but with this one, there isn’t any such formula. Also, its a painful method of hair removal, but I am stressing, you need to have it 🙂

From Ramesh Chander, Murray Hunter and Lim Teck Ghee
Mainly status quo, part recovery, and part election oriented – various excuses can be made for the 2023 budget unveiled by the new government kicking the can of fiscal and institutional reform further down the road.
In his budget presentation, Prime Minister cum finance minister Anwar Ibrahim asked: “The question is whether there is political will to effect change?”
This was in reference to what he diagnosed as the challenges facing the nation: high debt level, low quality of administration, global uncertainties, slow investment recovery and the rakyat’s economic woes.
However, Anwar’s administration had fewer than 90 days after coming to office to produce the new budget. In addition, he crafted the budget with the looming state elections in mind, where perhaps it is not surprising that change and reform have largely remained rhetoric.
It is clear that what has emerged is based on the original 2023 template presented by former finance minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz last October before GE15 – that is, mainly cosmetic reform.
As a consequence, Anwar’s first full budget since 1997 is the largest budget in Malaysia’s history. But bigger is not necessarily better especially when it results in further bloat of the public service and little evidence of substantive institutional and governance reform measures.
Expenditure: Total forecast spending is RM386.14 billion, of which RM145.5 billion is spent on salaries and operating expenses, RM58.6 billion on subsidies, while RM97 billion is the planned spending on development. The balance is on retirement charges (RM30 billion), debt service charges (RM45.94 billion) and payments to states (RM8.1 billion).
Receipts:This will be financed by RM291.5 billion in revenue, made up of RM218.2 billion in tax revenue and RM73.3 billion in non-tax revenue. This leaves a budget deficit made up from borrowings and payments from GLCs of RM94.60 billion.
Disappointment with the status quo
There are no reforms undertaken on the EPF system, only some token assistance where balances under RM10,000 will receive a RM500 top-up. This is even though there is a retirement crisis in Malaysia.
Likewise, rather than any tax reform, there will be a 2% decrease in tax rates for the B40 group, and an up to a 2% tax rise for the T20 group. Taxation revenue will become a crucial issue for future governments, if reform is not undertaken.
The budget fell well short of the income safety net promised by both Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional before the elections. The social assistance allocation of RM8 billion to cover the needs of 8.7 million people will amount to RM920 per person per annum.
What has been dismissed as “paltry, one-off handouts” by a senior trade union official as opposed to a holistic approach to rectifying the fundamental issue of low wages continues to hold back the B40 and M40 income population.
Not exciting for SMEs
Assistance to SMEs will largely be in loans, and, with priority to developing automation, may run into delivery problems. Government criteria may be too tight, making many SMEs ineligible. The funds allocated for automation and digitalisation may not all be taken up due to most SMEs being only “hand to mouth” operations and not able to match grants.
Tax incentives will be of little use to SMEs which have not been able to make profits and are technically insolvent. There is a risk that the Khazanah Nasional and EPF innovative and high-growth start-up companies’ RM1.5 billion investment scheme will benefit only wealthy and connected companies as well as be largely expanded on consultancy services.
Bernas sharing 30% of net profits on rice imports, offering RM1 billion in loans and tax incentives, is not going to assist in enhancing food production. Technological grants for private investments may not be fully taken up by farming enterprises or may end up with sham politically connected companies.
Little is being done to lower the cost of production through decreasing input duties on farm inputs. There are still APs in place on many food items, which is contributing to artificially high costs.
The key forgotten reform
A special task force to reform government agencies is a small step in the right direction for enhancing the efficiency of the government. This should be expanded to a full study of the government, from ministries down to agencies, to determine where bloated staffing levels and inefficiencies exist and where necessary action can be taken to the right size before the next budget.
One interesting aspect of this budget is that the finance ministry had its allocation of RM29.87 billion raised to RM67.24 billion, a rise of 125.1%. This is a massive increase, enhancing the power of the finance ministry over the government.
The government has forecast RM58.6 billion in subsidy payments for 2023. Many of these subsidies, such as the RM1.8 billion for rice farmers, will continue to ensure the padi industry remains inefficient. Two hundred ringgit to be paid to youths between 18 and 20 will just be wasted and not assist these people to empower themselves.
CLGs offering 35,000 new job opportunities to youth, TVET graduates, veterans and other vulnerable groups is just going to add to the inefficiencies of these organisations. This new laundry list of giveaways may provide short-term political gain to buy the new government time but the economic returns are largely illusive.
The prime minister had promised to share “the real facts” rather than opting for “captivating” figures to accurately present the state of the nation. The budget presentation was a missed opportunity. - FMT

MANILA, Philippines – The National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP), has put up an area control center in Iloilo as part of efforts to improve transmission operations.
Serving as a nerve center, the Panay Area Control Center enables the system operator to monitor the grid situation in real-time and under all circumstances, NGCP said.
The new control center inaugurated in October, is located inside NGCP’s Sta. Barbara Substation and houses top-of-the-line system, telecom equipment, and serves as satellite office of the Visayas System Operations.
NGCP president and CEO Henry Sy, Jr. said the move to put up a nerve center is part of efforts to respond to Panay’s growing economy.
“NGCP recognizes Panay’s potential, and NGCP is ready to respond to Panay’s growth, “ Sy said in his message during the center’s inauguration.
“With this facility, our customers are assured of a more secure and efficient monitoring and control system for transmission facilities serving the area, particularly in places of interest for tourists and investors alike,” he said.

A fairly ropey still life painting I did as part of the Curriculum Studies module of the H. Dip for art and design teachers. We did this over the course of two afternoons (including the compositional sketches i've included here). We had to use poster paint (ick!) which is what the pupils use in school. This process really gave me an appreciation for what the pupils are up against. Working in an 80 minute art class is a really disjointed way of completing an ambitious still life painting. When I paint, I use acrylic and oils, give myself a nice permanent set up with an easel and work away at it for days at a time. It's a lot tougher working with poster paints on a table surface and under a tight time constraint. | <urn:uuid:00461352-0c8e-4990-b339-894c4f9bc636> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://mariamurray.blogspot.com/2012/09/curriculum-studies-painting.html | 2024-04-13T23:18:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.974557 | 158 |
drawn by water
I am elated to introduce my new project drawn by water!
This new project is born from my love of paper, especially greeting cards. Cards were one of my favorite things to order and sell to my customers at M+R. There was something special about knowing that each card was purchased with intention and care- whether it be for a celebration of a life event, an acknowledgement of a passing, a kick ass encouragement, or a sweet hello friend. The cards went to someone special, I still enjoy thinking about how a simple act like giving a card can carry the possibility of so much love and gratitude.
The greeting cards and objects I am creating for drawn by water are made for sending good vibes & encouragement for any occasion. I am starting the line with my own designs and envision growing into adding collaborative designs and products.
Creating my own new art and products + the thought of working with other artists and creators again is so inspiring and motivating. I am super excited to start this new endeavor and I hope you follow along with me as I grow!
Why drawn by water?
I'm a Cancer 🦀 my love for the water-rain, rivers and especially the ocean weaves itself throughout my life and finds its way as a reoccurring theme into whatever I am doing, my artwork, my businesses and my sacred places.
It felt natural to name my next project after what is intrinsic to me - I am drawn by water.
Plus, I am never going to walk away from a good play on words- I've worked with watercolors throughout my art making endeavors and so much of my art was, well, drawn by water..... wink wink.....
NOTE: you will be seeing the name @drawnbywater replacing @marionandrose on my social media and website links. M+R lives on forever in my soul, drawn by water is the next natural progression, as they say- ✨ from every ending starts a new beginning. ✨ | <urn:uuid:db7391df-77a1-4a01-87bc-8c66ed76ce04> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://marionandrose.com/pages/drawn-by-water | 2024-04-13T22:04:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.967871 | 407 |
How Josh Byrd Uses Songwriting Experience to Tell the Patient Story
Like most marketers, Josh Byrd, VP of Marketing at Relatient, has many passions. Outside of his marketing work with Relatient, Byrd is a professional country music songwriter. And it’s this ability to tell a story in song that strengthens Byrd’s abilities as a marketer. Byrd joined David Kemp on the Highway to Health to talk about his love for marketing and how merging passions is a recipe for success.
“Good marketing is about connection,” Byrd said. “Whether you’re writing a song or a blog, or a podcast, or a white paper, or anything, you’re really searching for that emotional connection.”
Byrd began his journey by mixing his dream of country music fame with some paying marketing gigs. And never one to pass down an opportunity when it came his way, Bryd soon found marketing an offer he couldn’t refuse. New passions emerged, and he discovered working for startups was an exciting area to practice his marketing abilities. Articulating a startup’s story happened to be up Byrd’s ally. “It wasn’t all too different from a music journey, right? It’s helping somebody tell their story.”
Eventually, Byrd worked for a healthcare startup, helping patients understand the payment process better. And now, working at Relatient, Byrd gets to focus on patient engagement at an even deeper level. “We’re working on the scheduling and messaging side of things to make sure that patients are involved in their care from the get-go.”
There is no end to challenges in healthcare, but success is always a corner away with the right tools and guidance. Patient engagement is an area ripe for improvement, and it’s a rewarding challenge that Byrd said brings purpose and meaning to his work. “Last year, Relatient engaged with we 50 million patients. That’s 50 million opportunities to make someone’s life better.”

Today we share some of our best kept secrets so that you get to know us better: the 5 secrets you should know.
The origin of the Marqués de Murrieta winery Dates back to the 19th century when Don Luciano Murrieta, Marquis of Murrieta And a man ahead of his time, he built the Castle of Ygay and brought to Spain the techniques of Bordeaux making. Thus began the myth of Rioja wines and, therefore, to speak of the origin of Rioja wine is to speak of the origin of our winery.
And it was precisely at the end of that century when the first riojas in small oak barrels were exported, sailing the seas to Cuba and Mexico. 50 barrels were sent to Havana and another 50 to the Mexican port of Veracruz. Although the latter were unable to disembark, as the ship that was transporting them, upon entering the port and due to a strong storm, was shipwrecked.
Thus, after more than 165 years of research to find the best techniques and secrets of production, the wines produced in our wineries receive, year after year, the best scores from wine critics. In fact, our wine 1986 Great Special Reserve Ygay Castle White It was the first white wine in the history of Spain to achieve the best score that a wine can get, the 100 Parker points. A pride!
Marquis of Murrieta Primer Rosé It is a special wine, and not only because it is one of the few rosés made with 100% mazuelo grapes, but also because the design of its bottle lasted as long as a pregnancy. Yes, for nine months the design of the bottle was worked and refined to the current spectacular appearance. Due to its careful elaboration and the care in the design of its bottle, it is a unique wine that reveals an unexplored world within rosé wines.
In addition, today, the Marqués de Murrieta winery has many secrets inside Ygay Castle: an impressive collection of documents from the time of D. Luciano and up to 70,000 bottles of historic vintages. Everything makes the founding building of the winery not only a workplace, but a true museum open to the public to transmit a culture. | <urn:uuid:22bd6df1-543f-4ad0-9f1e-59496bcb6e4f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://marquesdemurrieta.com/en/blogs/blog/secretos-que-deberias-saber | 2024-04-13T22:28:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.973218 | 469 |
The 30 Day Christmas Card Making Challenge was designed to get us ready for the festive season, earlier than we might have without it. Each day a challenge is posted with a card that I have created for the challenge. If you are joining the challenge then please share them using the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge or join the Facebook page. Links to both are available below.
So a little about today’s…
Festive Florals was designed for us to focus one challenge on some fabulous floral imagery. We all love adding flowers to projects so I’m sure this won’t be too difficult.
I run a poll on Instagram and the majority of people agreed that holly counts as a floral. Therefore I’m using it for today’s card. At the end of the day it my challenge and I wouldn’t say it wasn’t. There are a few holly leaf and berry stamps in the August – December 2020 Mini Catalogue. For this project a selected the ones from the Sweetest Time Stamp Set .
The reason for choosing these stamps from the Sweetest Time Stamp Set was because they were a little more playful in the design. With the design of this project I really wanted to pair it right back and keep it really simple. The images were stamped in Shaded Spruce Classic Ink and Real Red Classic Ink . This created a pop of colour off the back of the Petal Pink Card .
I used the Playful Alphabet Dies to create a negative space sentiment. This was popped up onto some Foam Adhesive Sheets . While the sentiment was die cut from Real Red Card it didn’t stand off from the card base. To correct this I used Whisper White Card to die cut the letter again to pop into the letter space.

Being a pet owner can improve the quality of your life. When you have a pet, you can easily ward off stress and become more active. Being a pet owner can also keep your body strong from allergies and teach you a lot about responsibility. However, moving with a pet can be very challenging regardless if you’ll hire interstate moving companies or move on your own. Moving with a pet isn’t a walk in the park, but it can always be done. Aside from making sure that you only work with the best movers Manhattan, NY, the following tips can help you accomplish this goal and finally enjoy a new home with your furry friend:
- Prepare An Overnight Kit
Your pet will also require a lot of things the moment they arrive in your new home. Depending on the breed and type of pet you have, you’ll likely need a pack of their food, clean water, and their favorite toys nearby. Bringing a couple of grooming tools will also come in handy.
To ensure that your pet stays comfortable as you’re unpacking all of your moving boxes, prepare an overnight kit with all of their essentials. This kit will make it very easy for you to take care of your pet as you won’t have to go through countless moving boxes just to find their food or toys.
- Contact Your Vet
Moving can be stressful for your pets, which is why you should maintain communication with your vet all the time. As much as possible, inform your vet about the move and ask if they know another vet nearer to the location where you’re moving. If your pet is taking any medications, make sure that you have a sufficient supply of their medicines before, during, and after the move.
Being a pet owner is a long-term commitment, so you should continue to be responsible for your duties even as you’re moving. You should never forget about any of your pets’ medications, as this can significantly affect their health.
- Keep Your Pets Away From The Action
Having pets can make your home more fun and interesting. Their unpredictable habits and cuddly appearance are just some of the reasons why you’d always love to have them around.
However, during your moving day, it’s best if you keep your pets away from the action. It’ll be challenging for the movers to load your moving boxes to their vehicles if your pets are always in the way. Letting them roam around your house can even lead to injuries that can hurt anyone, including your pets.
For your move to go as smoothly as possible, leave your pets at a friend’s house. Ask a favor from people whom you personally know to look after your pet and guarantee that you’ll pick them up once the movers are done with their tasks. Being away from your pet can be heartbreaking, but if it’s for the success of your move, you should be willing to leave them with someone for a while.
- Take Your Pet In Your Vehicle
As mentioned, moving from one home to another can be very stressful for your pets. This is especially true if they’ve grown up in your current home. More often than not, they will also need a lot of time to adjust to their new environment and assurance that everything will soon get back to normal.
To lessen the stress that your pets are feeling when moving, let them ride in the vehicle with you. I’ll put their mind at ease knowing that someone familiar to them is close throughout the entire move. Your presence can be their security blanket when moving.
Instead of thinking about how challenging moving with your pet is, use this as an opportunity to bond with them. Utilize the move to know more about your pet and to let them know that you truly care for their wellness during the move.
The inability of your pet to directly communicate with you is one of the reasons why moving with them is hard. But by spending more time with them and paying more attention to their actions, it won’t be long before you can understand all of your pets’ gestures and ensure that they are comfortable with the move.

Pet Product Review by Patricia Levine
Last month Handi Ramp sent us puppy treads to review. Over all, this is a great concept. We have a 12 week old Dorkie (dachshund/yorkie) puppy and 2 sets of uncarpeted slippery hardwood steps that she needs to go up and down since we live in a split level home. She is a tiny puppy and big, uncarpeted steps can be intimatidating! The treads have a grainy texture that provide extra traction and she seems to feel more confident using the steps where we placed them They are translucent, which is nice because they’re neutral and blend with any décor.
Our only complaint is that my husband had a bit of trouble peeling the removable back away. A tab would be helpful to those who don’t have fingernails to pry away the removable back!

Download Red BIOS Editor is free and it is powerful tool for modifying the bios of your computer. It allows you to change the graphics card parameters and optimize your memory timings. In addition, it provides you with the option of saving your settings.
Update your BIOS
If you own a computer with an AMD processor, you need to update your BIOS in order to maintain optimal performance. Besides increasing your CPU’s speed, BIOS updates may also improve compatibility with new hardware.
The Red BIOS Editor is a utility that allows you to tweak your BIOS to maximize its potential. You can adjust video card parameters, change RAM types, and more.
Using a BIOS update isn’t as scary as it used to be. Thanks to the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), it’s easier than ever to perform this simple task.
To begin, you need to download a BIOS update file from the manufacturer’s website. This will usually be in a ZIP folder. Copy the file to your USB flash drive. Make sure to rename it to the motherboard’s specific filename.
Once you have the updated BIOS file on your USB drive, you can install it. If you’re using a PC, you may need to reboot to complete the process.
Modify graphics card parameters
Red BIOS Editor (RBE) is a program that allows you to modify the parameters of your graphics card. This can include changing your clocks and voltage. It can also change your video memory timings.
RBE is available for PC and Mac. If you want to install the software, you must agree to the terms of service. You should only download it from trusted sources.
With the latest version of RBE, you can now extract signatures from your BIOS. You can then save them to a file. However, changing your BIOS information string is not recommended.
In addition to modifying the video card parameters, you can now change the Overdrive signature. The Overdrive limit can be increased to enable higher overclocking.
To make changes, you can either access your video BIOS or use the WinFlash interface of RBE. When you are ready to apply your changes, you can select the “Apply CHG” button.
By changing the clock/voltage curve, you can improve the performance of your AMD graphic card. However, this is a power user feature only.
Optimize memory timings
The Red BIOS Editor is a piece of software designed to optimize the memory timings on your AMD Radeon GPU. This software works on both the Polaris and Navi GPUs. It also supports older graphics cards. You can load a video BIOS file and modify the video timings to better your performance.
Changing the memory timings on your PC can be done in a few different ways. If you want to do it manually, you can try to copy and paste the timing string. However, you will have to change the name of the file.
As for the RAM, the most obvious way is to increase the frequency. However, this has some risks. For instance, the computer may not be able to handle the higher speeds, or you can have performance problems with the increased speeds.
Red BIOS Editor is a tool to edit the information lines of a BIOS file. This utility can be used to change RAM and VRAM timings. It works on AMD Radeon and Polaris GPUs. In addition, the software can access the hidden CCC panel functions.
To use the program, you need to install it and agree to the terms of service. The application will then display four fan controllers. From there, you can choose to view or change the fan settings.
After you have finished selecting the fan controls, the program will show you the complete PowerPlay structure. You can also save and restore the video card’s settings with this tool. When you are ready to save, you can click the Save button to create a new file. Make sure to save the modified BIOS with a different name.
Once you have completed the process, you can save the bios to a USB drive. | <urn:uuid:87b5d5bc-8dda-4953-b395-6a00a4fc6072> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://masstamilan.blog/how-to-download-red-bios-editor/ | 2024-04-13T22:28:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.90955 | 839 |

Family Lawyer Consultation
When another person’s actions result in you being injured, your next move should be to speak with a personal injury attorney. You can receive compensation for your injuries by filing a personal injury suit, but you will need an attorney to file. Many people have no idea how to prepare for the initial meeting with a lawyer. This guide will explain exactly what to bring with you.
What To Bring
Lawyers are used to taking care of nearly every aspect of a legal case, so it will likely not be an issue if you were to show up with nothing in your hands. However, it will help speed things along if you come prepared. If nothing else, you should bring some way of taking notes and a list of questions you have. It is common for the initial consultations to be free, but you should be sure to bring the payment if yours is not free.
There are some items that could be very helpful to bring depending on your situation. Generally, you should have as much information about your case as you can. Only some of these items may apply to your case, but you should consider bringing:
- Medical reports and bills – It is going to be essential for you to present your medical information to the court if you wish to be compensated for treatment.
- Receipts – All purchases that were the direct result of the injury will be relevant to your case.
- Accident report – If you were in a car accident, you can receive an accident report from the police. This is one of the most basic pieces of information to acquire.
- Insurance documents – It is common to receive payment through an insurance policy and then file a personal injury case to repay the insurance company and receive compensation for pain and suffering.
- Witness statements – Your lawyer cannot be on the scene to speak with anyone who witnessed the injury. Getting information from them is helpful, but just their contact information may be enough.
- All interactions with the defendant – If you have had communication with the defendant, share this information with your lawyer. If possible, avoid contacting the defendant without your lawyer present.
- Other information – Any pieces of paperwork or miscellaneous information you about have the case should be with you when you meet your lawyer.
Speaking with a personal injury lawyer in Salt Lake City, UT should always be your first step. A legal professional will be able to provide you with guidance going forward.

In one of the largest wrongful death cases Virginia has ever seen, a jury awarded a Plaintiff over $6 million dollars to compensate him for the death of his wife in a motor vehicle accident. The driver of the other vehicle was an employee of Allied Concrete Company, and lost control of his loaded concrete truck, causing it to tip over and land on the vehicle occupied by Plaintiff and his wife. The wife’s injuries proved to be fatal, and the jury awarded Plaintiff $6,227,000 to compensate him for her death. However, after trial, it was revealed that Plaintiff’s attorney assisted the widower in destroying evidence by instructing him to “clean up” his Facebook page. Allied claimed the attorney’s misconduct entitled it to a new trial or to a reduction of the jury’s award. The trial court refused to grant a new trial, but did reduce the jury’s award by over $4 million. Both parties appealed to the Virginia Supreme Court. Justice Cleo E. Powell authored the opinion of the Supreme Court in Lester v. Allied Concrete Co., et al., dated January 10, 2013.
Allied argued that it was entitled to a new trial because the proceedings were tainted by the Plaintiff’s dishonesty and his attorney’s unethical conduct. During discovery, the defendants sought the production of screen print copies of Plaintiff’s Facebook page. The attorney representing Plaintiff first instructed Plaintiff to “clean up” his account, and then to deactivate his account altogether in order to avoid production. The Plaintiff then lied under oath about deactivating his account. Eventually, Plaintiff reactivated his account, but deleted several photos before producing the rest to Defendants’ counsel. During the trial, the Court explained Plaintiff’s misconduct to the jury. The judge instructed the jury to “presume that the photograph or photographs he deleted from his Facebook account were harmful to his case.” Lester v. Allied Concrete Co., et al. After the trial, the court also ordered Plaintiff to pay $180,000 to Defendants for his misconduct, and ordered Plaintiff’s attorney to pay a significant sanction of $542,000. The Virginia Supreme Court held that the trial court did not err by failing to grant Defendants’ Motion for a New Trial since it took these proper steps to mitigate any effects of Plaintiff and his attorney’s misconduct before and during the trial.
However, the Supreme Court held that the trial court was in error when it reduced Plaintiff’s jury award by over $4 million. In deciding to reduce (or remit) the jury award, it appears the trial judge was overly influenced by Plaintiff’s attorney’s actions. The trial judge noted that the attorney was shouting objections and “breaking into tears when addressing the jury,” and this caused the jury to act on its bias, sympathy, or passions; rather than by fair and objective considerations of the evidence. Lester v. Allied Concrete Co., et al. However, the Supreme Court was not persuaded that the trial court itself had engaged in a reasonable evaluation of the evidence related to damages. Even if the trial court was correct that the jury was improperly motivated by the attorney’s courtroom theatrics, the Supreme Court held this would still not provide a basis to ascertain whether the damages awarded bear a reasonable relation to the damages disclosed by the evidence. Therefore, the Supreme Court reversed the trial court’s order and reinstated the jury’s full award to Plaintiff. | <urn:uuid:dd2b8555-29a1-4a84-acf6-76e606255a57> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://maylawllp.com/virginia-supreme-court-hears-appeal-in-wrongful-death-case-involving-a-widower-and-his-attorney-destroying-facebook-evidence/ | 2024-04-13T22:54:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.980037 | 725 |
Courts in criminal cases don’t feel that they have equity powers. In the latest decision wherein any layman would expect the court to act leniently, the Court of Appeals held that a defendant who was improperly transferred to the Department of Corrections (prison) could not have his sentence modified by the Circuit Court due to lack of jurisdiction even though the Circuit Court had ordered the defendant to remain in its jurisdiction (the County jail ) and the Department of Corrections violated that order by mistake! (In Virginia, once a Defendant is transferred to Department of Corrections, and after 21 days have passed, a judge can not change the Court’s order. Had the jail kept the defendant as was ordered, the judge could have modified the sentence).
This was not a small issue for the defendant. He had been sentenced to 43 years in prison. The prosecutor was willing to ask on the reconsideration motion that he be released due to his cooperation in another case and the trial court said that the defendant would have been entitled to some relief!
As the dissent noted, this was a correct legal decision, but was completely unfair through no fault of the defendant.

Purpose: Truncation artifacts in CT occur if the object to be imaged extends past the scanner field of view (SFOV). These artifacts impede diagnosis and could possibly introduce errors in dose plans for radiation therapy. Several approaches exist for correcting truncation artifacts, but existing correction algorithms do not accurately recover the skin line (or support) of the patient, which is important in some dose planning methods. The purpose of this paper was to develop an iterative algorithm that recovers the support of the object. Methods: The authors assume that the truncated portion of the image is made up of soft tissue of uniform CT number and attempt to find a shape consistent with the measured data. Each known measurement in the sinogram is interpreted as an estimate of missing mass along a line. An initial estimate of the object support is generated by thresholding a reconstruction made using a previous truncation artifact correction algorithm (e.g., water cylinder extrapolation). This object support is iteratively deformed to reduce the inconsistency with the measured data. The missing data are estimated using this object support to complete the dataset. The method was tested on simulated and experimentally truncated CT data. Results: The proposed algorithm produces a better defined skin line than water cylinder extrapolation. On the experimental data, the RMS error of the skin line is reduced by about 60%. For moderately truncated images, some soft tissue contrast is retained near the SFOV. As the extent of truncation increases, the soft tissue contrast outside the SFOV becomes unusable although the skin line remains clearly defined, and in reformatted images it varies smoothly from slice to slice as expected. Conclusions: The support recovery algorithm provides a more accurate estimate of the patient outline than thresholded, basic water cylinder extrapolation, and may be preferred in some radiation therapy applications.

Arifa Sultana, age 20, is a Bangladeshi woman from a low-income household.
She and her husband were thrilled to find they were expecting, but they were also concerned about their ability to provide for a kid right away.
The spouse of Arifa works hard and makes less than $70 a month. Yet they were both adamant about giving their child the greatest childhood possible.
She gave birth to a son in late February 2019.
The new parents were settling into their roles as parents, and everything was going smoothly.
Then she started having terrible stomach problems just 26 days after their kid was born.
She was taken urgently to a hospital. Her water broke a second time, and no one could believe it.
She was born with an extremely unusual disease, which neither Arifa nor her physicians were aware of.
Her obstetrician, Dr. Sheila Poddar, claimed that she had never before seen this kind of pregnancy.
Arifa had twins in labor when she went into labor because she had a second womb at birth, often known as a double uterus or uterus didelphys.
Experts are now outlining Arifa’s strange pregnancy narrative and explaining how she have been carrying more children without even being aware of it.

Eye transplant in India is a fairly common operation. Eye Transplant is a surgical procedure conducted to replace the diseased cornea of the patient with the donated cornea tissue or graft. During the procedure, a clear and healthy cornea is fixed in place of the opaque or cloudy cornea to restore lost vision in the patient. A clear cornea, thus, allows light rays toenter the eyes for a more distinct vision.
Eye transplant in India is a popular surgical procedure carried out in almost all major multispecialty eye hospitals and centers in the country. Foreign nationals suffering from complete or partial clouding of the cornea prefer to come to India because of many reasons, including affordability of medical treatment, the presence of advanced surgical infrastructure, availability of healthy cornea for transplant, and progressive technology for eye surgery.
Composition of Human Eye
Interestingly, an eye is composed of more than 2 million working parts, only 1/6th of the eye is exposed and of all the muscles in our body, the muscles that control our eyes are the most active. Also, each of our eyes have a blind spot in the retina, where the optic nerves attach to the eye. These blind spots are not at all photosensitive but we are not able to see these bind spots in our field of vision as both the eyes work together to compensate for the other’s blind spot.
International Accredited Hospitals
In addition, a majority of eye surgery hospitals in India are accredited by healthcare accreditation bodies such as Joint Commission International (JCI) and National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH) (affiliated to ISQua – International Society for Quality in Healthcare).
Growth of Eye Surgery Hospitals in India in the Past Decade
Going back into the past by a few decades, eye surgery in India was a rare possibility. One of the critical reasons was the unavailability of adequate relatives who would consent to the deceased donor individual’s wishes posthumously. People were always reluctant to donate the eyes of the deceased person because of appearance issues. But this outlook has changed tremendously in the last few decades.
In addition, the researchers invented a new technology a few years back that helps them remove the cornea from the eyes of any deceased donor without affecting the surrounding tissues. This further increased the availability of donor cornea sharply, thus making eye surgery in India more accessible.
Another major reason that attributed to the popularity of eye transplant in India across the globe is the low eye treatment cost in India. The cost of eye transplant in India is just a fraction of the total cost in the Western countries, including the US and the UK. Despite the low cost of eye transplant in India, there are no compromises concerning the quality of medical services, which are at par with International standards.

Historic Report by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has released a groundbreaking report highlighting the significant fiscal contribution of refugees and asylees to the American economy. The report underscores the commitment to welcoming new arrivals with equitable, high-quality support, which aids them in maximizing their potential in the U.S. This study is a testament to the positive impact that refugees and asylees can have on the economy when given the right kind of support.
Refugees and Asylees: A Boon to the Economy
The United States has welcomed over 2.1 million refugees and accepted over 800,000 asylees between 1990 and 2022. An ongoing analysis on the fiscal impact of refugees and asylees on federal, state, and local governments from 2005 to 2019 estimates a significant economic impact. A recent HHS study revealed that these refugees and asylees have contributed nearly $124 billion to the U.S. government budget from 2005-2019. This points towards a positive net fiscal impact of refugees on the U.S. economy, with meaningful contributions at both federal and state levels.
Refugeesâ Contribution to Governments at All Levels
Refugees have generated an estimated $581 billion for governments at all levels, while the total expenditure on refugees amounted to approximately $457.2 billion over the same period. Though the study acknowledges certain limitations, it compellingly demonstrates the positive fiscal and cultural impact of the U.S. humanitarian program for refugees.
Addressing Homelessness: A Collaborative Approach
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) have announced the Housing and Services Partnership Accelerator initiative. This initiative aims to reduce homelessness by addressing health-related social needs such as housing-related services. Eight states and the District of Columbia have been selected to participate in this initiative. The Biden-Harris Administration has worked to expand housing assistance and ensure people experiencing homelessness have access to supportive services. In a bid to extend this support, HUD announced $3.16 billion in funding to fund 7,000 housing and services projects for people experiencing homelessness.
Role of Medicaid and CHIP
The Accelerator initiative provides technical assistance to states implementing clinically appropriate and evidence-based services that can be covered under Medicaid and CHIP. HHS has published guidance and a framework clarifying the flexibilities available to states under their Medicaid section 1115 demonstrations or 1915(i) state plan amendments to cover services to help meet eligible enrollees' health-related social needs like housing and nutrition.
Resources and Support from the Administration for Children and Families (ACF)
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) provides information on various ACF programs and resources, including reports on child welfare outcomes and child maltreatment. It also includes a list of ACF press inquiries and success stories related to evidence-based home visiting models. These resources highlight the ongoing efforts to provide support and ensure the wellbeing of children and families in the U.S. | <urn:uuid:09541503-50e8-44aa-b855-bafbd45691d4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://medriva.com/health/public-health/the-positive-economic-impact-of-refugees-and-asylees-in-the-u-s/ | 2024-04-13T22:28:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.933602 | 647 |
Udy, John M. 1991 0-7734-9652-1 164 pages Planning is a new, highly complex profession that has achieved considerable success and gained the confidence of the public. If the profession is to build on this success it must reject the narrow conservatism of the professional associations and the short-sighted radicalism of the progressives. This study shows the need to go outside the planning profession to learn from professions that focus on the range of human choices, be they individual (psychology) or group choices (cultural history). Armed with their insights, a "Matrix" of Planners is established for ordering the sixteen types of planner that are here defined and differentiated.
Reminick, Ronald A. 2010 0-7734-1387-1 340 pages As a relatively new urban landscape, Addis Ababa possesses a rich cultural history that continues to develop today. Drawing on numerous first-person accounts of Addis Ababa from its inception to the present day, as well as the author's own field research, this work traces the development of the city from a military camp to the fastest-growing city in Africa. Careful attention is given to all elements of Addis Ababa, including its people, customs, geography, economy, psychology and its place in global culture. This book presents a holistic and diachronic view of the city and sets the stage for further analysis as the urbanization of Addis Ababa continues to evolve.
Davis, Graham 2010 0-7734-3788-6 392 pages This is an intensively researched study that examines the history of Bath and makes a contribution to an understanding of the way urban communities worked. The rhetoric of the city and the slum are both challenged and the interconnections between them examined in detailed case studies. In reality, the municipal politics of Bath, particularly in the field of sanitary provision, was shaped by competing attitudes to the poor of the Avon Street district. This book contains seven color photographs and eight black and white photograhs.
Morley, Ian 2008 0-7734-5090-4 408 pages This work consists of an examination of examples of civic design in Britain occurring within a number of large sized provincial settlements from about 1880 to 1914. It identifies the design and planning principles that appeared to govern civic design as well as investigating its features as it appeared in practice by analysing structural and technical design components, internal arrangements and the surroundings of public buildings erected at the time. This book contains six color photographs and twelve black and white photographs.
Ioffe, Grigory 1999 0-7734-7878-7 260 pages a pioneering effort to analyze the circumstances and phenomena of land-use, residential settings, and the relationship between the urban and rural worlds in Russia. It shows how changes in Russia’s urban margins are the result of ongoing political and economic reforms and also conditioned by long-term factors of life. It contains two empirical case studies: the study of the environs of Moscow and the environs of Yaroslavl in the 1990s. In both cases, recreation, rural, and agricultural components are emphasized. The authors particularly examine the core-periphery gradients of land use and population dynamics, and also land transfers and the formation of land market.
Chandler, Tertius 1987 0-88946-207-0 676 pages A complete revision of Chandler's earlier Three Thousand Years of Urban Growth. Covering the populations of cities and their suburbs from 2250 B.C. to 1975, three sections present: (1) continental tables and maps, (2) data sheets for ancient cities, and (3) tables and maps of the world's largest cities.
Otterstrom, Samuel 2004 0-7734-6521-9 308 pages This edited book ties the settlement geography and history of specific city-systems (cities and their hinterlands) together in a unified framework. The process of population concentration and dispersion within each city-system is explained using a general model that allows particular interconnections of geography and history to be explored. This book will provide a vital contribution to historical geographers and urban historians who are interested in the regional perspective of city development. This book provides a consistent national cross-section of city-system settlement histories, a contribution not found in other scholarly works.
Bigon, Liora 2009 0-7734-3856-4 372 pages Few published studies have thoroughly treated the history of European planning practices in the overseas colonial territories. This is especially true regarding the African continent in general and sub-Saharan Africa in particular. Interest in the indigenous response to the formal organisation of the colonial settlement has only been manifest in the last few decades. In addition, French and British colonial policies and practices in West Africa, particularly with regard to town planning, have rarely been analysed together within the same intellectual framework.” This book contains eleven black and white photographs and two color photographs.
Kazimee, Bashir A. 2003 0-7734-6669-X 280 pages This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the unique meaning of Place (“Makan”) in the traditional context of the Eastern Islamic region, focusing mostly on the area defined by Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran. The book often replaces the term cities (as referring to oversized bureaucratic apparatus) with such terms as places and dwellings – meaning developed settlements that have retained a strong trace of social coherence and physical unity, which are the true focus. The study examines the way in which making and thinking, object and subject, are inextricably linked in Islamic places and reflect Man’s inner search for truth, and the role that place plays in helping the Muslim stay true to his faith and lead a life of meaning and spirituality. With illustrations.
Stone, Ronald 1991 0-7734-9906-7 218 pages An introductory textbook to Christian social ethics in the contemporary urban American context. Applies a reformed theory of justice and power to contemporary urban social-ethical problems. Chapters include: the urban ethos, urban theology, power in the urban setting, love and justice, evangelism and social action, John Calvin's economic theory, contemporary business ethics, racism, political ethics and housing, and a concluding chapter on peacemaking and the technological city. Rejecting the pessimism of French Protestant Jacques Ellul and the optimism of Boston theologian Harvey Cox, it maps out the terrain of a Christian realist urban ethic.
Scrase, Anthony John 1999 0-7734-7953-8 104 pages Examines the various forces affecting the streets of the towns in Somerset and Gloucestershire. It explains how the system has been either diminished or increased over a thousand year span, criticising the public space/private space dichotomy as a flawed tool which does not accord with reality as represented by the English Common Law. The processes and their interplay are examined chronologically. There are detailed case studies of Bath and Wells. The whole is copiously illustrated by a mixture of old maps or views and modern plans.
Ribas-Mateos, Natalia 2015 0-7734-4256-1 328 pages The purpose of the book is to analyze a border city by trying to include a historical effort which includes the city of Tangiers in Morocco. The representations of the city are considered here from an in-depth analysis of the historical vision of its city and of its center, its boulevard, as well as from its different neighborhoods.
McAdams, Michael A. 2012 0-7734-2616-7 324 pages The urban environment encapsulates an infinite variety of activities which are constantly in the state of flux. The disciplines that inform the study of urbanism are diverse such as sociology, history, geography, political science, urban planning, international relations, environmental studies, and literary criticism. Each discipline approaches urbanism differently but not isolated from those that also study it. The scholarly literature in urbanism is one of the most interesting because of the multifaceted approaches and perspectives employed to examine urban areas, the dynamic nature of urban areas themselves, and the varied analyses of urban settings.
This book represents a “slice” of the variety that characterizes the urbanism literature. The multidisciplinary analyses and the dual focus on the developed and developing worlds provide, on one hand, an innovative view of the complexities of modern urban life around the world; on the other hand the chapters direct our attention to the challenges confronted by governments and societies to organize daily lives in an increasingly urbanized planet.
The perspectives on urban environments presented in this book are a refreshing vision of urbanism that will intrigue and enlighten its readers. They capture the complexity of urban centers as places of politics, production, conflict, social interactions and dislocations, innovation, and where the local meets the global.
St. Clair, Robert N. 2009 0-7734-4646-X 428 pages Investigation explains how culture functions within several contexts of space. Cultural change involves the retaining of some cultural practices along with their modification, revision, and re-invention of events to accommodate the present. The past is redefined, restructured, revised, modified, and even re-invented in order to make it compatible with the interpretation of events within the cultural spaces of the present.
Wauzzinski, Robert A. 2003 0-7734-6627-4 304 pages Dwelling House is a savings-and-loan bank located in the inner city of Pittsburgh, called the Hill. This study chronicles its forty-year fight on behalf of Hill residents and others to increase home ownership and reverse urban decay and crime. Dwelling House shows how the marriage of ethical principles with a more holistic social philosophy can deeply transform urban America.
Golany, Gideon S. 2001 0-7734-7409-9 316 pages This study examines architecture and urban design as a joint entity, with a further subdivision, socio-cultural studies, used to develop a more complete picture of the ethical forces that shape the Chinese city. It incorporates information from other disciplines – history, archaeology, anthropology – to elaborate the discussions and conclusions. It highlights the influence of cumulative Chinese thoughts, beliefs, behavior, and ethics upon the formation of their distinctive spatial urban form.
Udy, John M. 1995 0-7734-8958-4 268 pages After acknowledging the veracity (but inapplicability) of the Eternal Values, and examining Utilitarianism and Public Policy as possible value indicators, the author recognizes Equality, (through the promotion of Information, Participation, Coordination, and Community), Life (through the application of nine criteria), Liberty, (through the balancing of reciprocal values), and the Pursuit of Happiness (in planning terms), as the sound value bases for urban and regional planning. | <urn:uuid:ce7b229b-face-4744-a9b6-aba30986fdff> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://mellenpress.com/subject/reformed-urban-ethics-a-case-study-of-pittsburgh/268/ | 2024-04-13T21:43:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.92354 | 2,218 |

Adlerian Psychotherapy gives an account of Adlerian therapy and counselling from its origins to the present day, and proposes an advanced version of the theory. The main principles and concepts of Adler’s thinking are re-examined from a contemporary perspective, placing them in the context of other contemporary approaches. Adler’s techniques are described then applied to an understanding of what an Adlerian approach to family life would look like, using clinical examples throughout. The authors analyse the possible contribution of Adlerian theory in the context of the challenges of postmodern thought and postmodern society. It will be invaluable to professionals, practitioners and students of counselling and psychotherapy. | <urn:uuid:dd3a16e1-57fd-4c78-915f-7a17cc6772c0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://merit.url.edu/ca/publications/adlerian-psychotherapy-an-advanced-approach-to-individual-psychol-3 | 2024-04-13T22:15:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.913896 | 139 |
If you have read last year’s review of “Verloren Vertellingen” you have read my enthusiasm of the bands presented on this album. Duindwaler was one of these bands, and in that review I mentioned: “Daan (sole musician of this musical endeavor) proves to be an accomplished musician and I hope to hear much more of Duindwaler in the near future.”
Well, it didn’t take a long time, because the future is here. This time Duindwaler presents its first full length. This means it’s time for another review to dissect the six concoctions presented on “In het Heemskerks Duin”.
On the review of “Verloren Vertellingen” I mentioned that this act presents raw, orthodox Black Metal. With the newest spawn, this is also the case. Never change a winning formula, isn’t it? And deservedly so because I can find the tracks of the above-mentioned album frequently on my record player. Regarding the newest album: at first it took me quite some time to fully grasp the songs. The production is primitive, gritty, and very raw. After playing the album in full several times the songs showed their qualities. The songs are rooted in the legendary nineties, which is a plus in my opinion. The vocals are harsh, raw, and low pitched but fit the music very well. Also, this time Dutch folklore, tales, and history are again packed in Dutch lyrics adding extra atmosphere.
But I must admit that the songs sometimes are a bit too repetitive for my taste. Especially the drums are pummeling their way through the songs and, except for some stops, pattern shifts and breaks, could have had a bit more variety. Also, I am missing some variety. Simply put: the songs, albeit executed very well, tend to show a lot of resemblances towards each other.
The album starts with “Vaderlands Vuur”, which roughly translated means fatherland’s fire, and takes no prisoners. Expect no intro, Duindwaler starts with brute force and great guitar riffs creating a dark and intense atmosphere. “Razende Wind” (raging wind) is in the same vein as its predecessor. Its fast, aggressive and blasts through your speakers (or whatever output you are using) until the slower mid-section gives you a breather … albeit just for a while.
The title track “In het Heemskerks Duin” is in the same vein, and here is where I am starting to miss some variety, as mentioned above. Although the songs on their own sound great, have great riffs and show an atmosphere I really can appreciate, the songs combined are starting to feel too similar. The same goes for the remaining three songs. It took me some effort to listen tothis album in one go. And that’s a pity because Daan can surely make some haunting and brooding songs. Especially when listening to the closing track “Schim in de Duinen” you can hear real promise for the future. This song really nails it with great guitar riffs, momentum and tension and proves to be a fitting closing track which makes you hungry for more.
So, in the end “In het Heemskerks Duin” is a good album but doesn’t meet my expectations. Just a little more variety and some slower tracks, just to give some time to recuperate as a listener, and Duindwaler has the right recipe to be on top of their game and being a good contender for the Dutch Black Metal throne (although there is a lot of competition). On the other hand, this album isn’t something to be ashamed of either. There are plenty of great song structures to be discovered, and overall the song writing and production fits the genre and should please Black Metal fans. Just give this album a go yourself and decide whether I am right or not on behalf of my remarks.

There are some encounters with members of the public you remember vividly as a politician.
Personally, I’ll never forget the man who stopped me on Whitehall to insist that I knew nothing about the harassment of women.
He offered this opinion as he shouted into my face and told me none of the women in his family had ever been harassed or abused by anyone.
I’m very aware that it can come across as monumentally self-pitying when MPs complain about being targeted by protestors.
But what worries me is an underlying current of intimidation and harassment that could start to threaten not only individuals, but the very fabric of our democracy.
Let’s not forget, in the last eight years, not only have we seen two wonderful MPs (and human beings), David Amess and Jo Cox, murdered while doing their job, but we have also seen Mike Freer announce he is stepping down from parliament after his office was subject to an arson attack.
In 2024, it is hardly surprising that people are frequently coming up with new and innovative ways to demand our attention, in order to further a cause or point of view.
Like the woman who came to my constituency surgery and ranted that because she ‘owned’ me, I had to do exactly as she said.
No, madam, I owe you my industry and my judgement. I am elected to take decisions on behalf of all my constituents, not just those who turn up, shout and slam doors.
I found it odd having to make the assessment that it was, on that occasion, actually one of my female constituents who was most likely to do me physical harm.
There is a fine line between reasonable protest and harassment.
A line that was crossed as I saw the images from the protest held at my colleague Tobias Ellwood’s home, after dark, when his wife and children were in the house, and felt very uncomfortable.
As several colleagues commented, MPs’ home addresses should be off limits.
Should be, but in fact they are not, and while most respect your privacy there have been those who have knocked on my door on a Sunday morning only to be greeted by me in my pyjamas.
I have never kept my home address a secret, although I don’t publish it on the ballot paper, but I don’t like having to live behind gates with security cameras everywhere.
But it does show how tough things are when my child has a panic button in their bedroom, and experts urge me to have a security officer at my constituency surgery.
And that’s not for nothing.
We heard last week that the woman who stabbed Stephen Timms at his surgery in 2010 has been deemed such a threat that she must remain in a maximum security prison, and some of my fellow MPs are wearing stab proof vests to meetings.
Lisa Nandy has recently revealed that she carries a police alarm.
I vividly remember my former colleague Charlotte Leslie having her car daubed in vile graffiti reading ‘Tory Scum’, numerous colleagues have had offices defiled, few of us still have letter boxes on our homes, and if we do there is a fireproof bag behind the door to prevent arson attacks.
Some MPs quietly get on with seeing people via Zoom, assuming we can’t be attacked through a computer screen.
But in the age of deepfakes and AI, is that even true anymore?
I had to endure some idiot sending me anonymous letters with my head photoshopped onto a porn star’s body when I was a Home Office Minister under Theresa May.
It was so badly done that it just made me laugh at the time, but technology has moved on, and I suspect at the next general election the images will be a million times better, and possibly indistinguishable as fakes.
There are probably all sorts of people gearing up for that campaign right now by plotting how to most effectively discredit and attack those they disagree with politically.
As Chair of the Women and Equalities Committee I have no doubt my head is firmly stuck above the parapet sending an open invitation to take pot shots.
Of course – I know in the UK, despite all the problems I’ve had as an MP, we are lucky.
This is not Putin’s Russia, political opposition and debate is welcome and encouraged.
While critics may gather in the dead of night outside our houses, troll us online, try to intimidate us into not standing for election, target our children and mothers (as some delightful individual has been doing to me recently) none of us has had to endure what the dissident leader Alexei Navalny was put through and the agony that now must be for his family.
It’s just another reminder for me that, while Heaven knows our democracy is not perfect, it is a hell of a lot better than the alternative.
And that’s why we have to protect it.

Own a food truck? Get an awning!
- 1. Las Vegas summers are no joke, keep your customers in the shade.
- 2. Keep everyone dry on rainy days.
- 3. Reduce glare on your menu board.
- 4. Colorful awnings can complement the design of your food truck.
Bonus: They look cool! Retractable awnings are increasingly popular. They install easily and appeal to the cost-conscious operator. They have great eye-appeal, and really stand out to the lunchtime crowd. An awning is also an effective way to provide a faux storefront exterior to customers and will enhance your business when you have outdoor seating. Awnings are in demand in areas that experience hot sunny days like Southern Nevada, Florida, California, Texas, and Arizona, to name a few. Many concession trailer awnings are a larger size than the serving window to provide extended shade coverage. Canopies provide protection from the elements, even for merchandise displays. They help keep serving areas cool, which your employees will appreciate. At the end of the day, food truck awnings mean happy customers and increased sales! | <urn:uuid:c469c777-38fd-45be-b280-8422d559e7ec> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://metroawningslasvegasnevada.com/four-reasons-for-food-truck-awnings/ | 2024-04-13T22:12:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.927929 | 241 |
As of June 3, American Airlines will begin operations on its new Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) route to Hermosillo, with which the airline adds 26 direct destinations in Mexico from its main hub.
Travelers from the capital of Sonora will be able to connect at the DFW International Airport with more than 190 destinations within the United States and to Europe, Asia, the Middle East and South America.
In addition, they will be able to enjoy two important Texas destinations that offer a varied tourist offer for both leisure and business trips, including two districts of art and culture, gastronomy and many shopping options.
Dallas is home to the popular Cowboys football team and along with Fort Worth is home to major events in sectors such as telecommunications, information technology, financial services and transportation.
The DFW – Hermosillo route of American Airlines will operate a CRJ-700 team with capacity for 64 seats, of which nine are in Business class. It will have a daily flight departing at 10:40 am and arriving at 11:16 am. The return will be at 12:02 p.m. to land at 4:35 p.m.
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) welcomes its passengers with a safe travel experience, as it uses biometric technology in the migration zone to perform facial recognition.
Connecting passengers will be able to take advantage of the offer of more than 200 stores, restaurants and other services such as lounges, yoga rooms, video games, and more. The air terminal was the first in the world to obtain GBAC STAR ™ accreditation from the Global Bio-Hazard Advisory Council. | <urn:uuid:fb4f3a15-d088-4199-b5ae-f573f979258b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://mexicodailypost.com/2021/05/21/american-airlines-to-launch-new-dallas-fort-worth-to-hermosillo-flight/ | 2024-04-13T22:54:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.953353 | 336 |
Mexico passed a milestone of sorts in September when the airport at the country’s biggest coastal resort, Cancun, surpassed pre-pandemic levels of passengers.
The Airports of the Southeast group, which runs the terminal at the Caribbean coast resort, said on Wednesday, October 6th, it handled 1.66 million passengers in Cancun in September, 4.4% percent more than in the same month of 2019.
By January 2020, the coronavirus pandemic cut passenger numbers drastically, and only about 854,000 passengers used the airport in September 2020.
It is unclear, but highly possible, that passenger levels at the Cancun airport for all of 2021 could equal or exceed the 2019 annual number.
Mexico never instituted any quarantine or testing requirements for incoming passengers, in part to avoid affecting the country’s tourism income.
In June, the resort of Cozumel, south of Cancun, welcomed the first arrival of a cruise ship carrying passengers since the pandemic essentially collapsed that industry.
Quintana Roo state is home to the resorts of Cancún, Playa del Carmen and Tulum. The state depends on tourism for 87% of its economic activity.
Anecdotal evidence suggests tourists are attracted to Mexico’s Caribbean resorts in part because there has been no lockdown and health precautions are largely voluntary. Many visitors shed their masks when they reach their hotels or beach clubs.
The state saw an upsurge in COVID-19 cases in the spring, in part linked to increased travel around Easter week, and partial reductions at businesses like hotels and restaurants were implemented to stem the surge, which has since declined.
Mexico has never enforced a strict, European-style lockdown. | <urn:uuid:5472e043-02f8-46f7-b8f8-fa73762094c2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://mexicodailypost.com/2021/10/07/cancun-international-airport-surpasses-pre-pandemic-passenger-figures/ | 2024-04-13T23:18:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.957378 | 362 |
High Quality– Backed by more than 60 years of chrome plating experience, we know what it means to make a quality chrome product. We begin with flawless material that meets a standard twice that of ASTM specifications. Then expert multistep polishing creates a smooth surface. From there, our products receive a multiple-pass cleaning treatment, three layers of nickel plating for improved adhesion and corrosion resistance and, finally, a layer of chrome. This process allows us to stand behind our workmanship 100 percent.
Vertical Integration– We take a start-to-finish approach to manufacturing chrome exhaust stacks and accessories that begins with 20-foot sticks of tube. The bending, polishing, chrome plating and distribution are all handled under one roof to ensure the highest quality and consistency.
Reliability– To be a successful supplier to the heavy-duty truck market, a manufacturer needs to consistently offer three things: quality products, excellent customer service and on-time delivery. We have a strong commitment to providing our customers with all three things every time they work with us. | <urn:uuid:0cb1b77d-021f-4c68-a0e2-6a9b0cf9bc18> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://miamistar.com/collections/lincoln-chrome | 2024-04-13T23:03:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.936955 | 219 |
I can’t wait to see that same look on her teenaged face because you know she will give me that same “go to hell” look. Often. Without the cute pigtails and probably a lot of black eyeliner.
So. Potty training. I’ve talked about it here a few times but it has consumed our house for way too long. Tessa finally decided she was on board. And then she decided she wasn’t. And now she is again. We’ve been accident free for weeks. AND she has declared she will wear panties at night and has done so successfully for 3 nights in a row. Huh. Success, as predicted, had nothing to do with us and everything to do with Tessa deciding she would do it. She day trained 2 years after Sabrina but night trained 2 years earlier. I’m not even going to pretend that evens out. But for the first time in memory, we have been to Sam’s Club and not purchased wipes or diapers or pull ups. Of course, the speed with which we are now going through toilet paper is rather mind boggling but I will take that over diapers any day. So I am going to call it. And you can all laugh at me when I come back here and eat humble pie for jinxing things:
I NO LONGER CARRY A DIAPER BAG. I NO LONGER CHANGE DIAPERS. I HAVE 2 POTTY TRAINED CHILDREN.
Go ahead Karma…here is where you kick me in the teeth.
Sabrina turned 6. I’m not sure how that happened so don’t ask. She is 6 and in the first grade. Makes my brain hurt to realize how quickly the years have passed. She is currently a huge fan of My Little Ponies. She asked for Rainbow Dash party. She ended up having a small sleepover (who knew those started so early? she was the only sleep over virgin of the 3 of them) so there was no themed party (phew). As a consolation, I offered to make rainbow cupcakes to take into her class on her birthday. My only guide was that my friend Michelle, from Burgh Baby, said it was easy and just to separate into bowls and color then pour. But she is one of those over-achieving birthday moms who makes cupcake masterpieces for her daughter to take to school every year. And I don’t bake. Seriously, I ended up in tears over the stupid Christmas cookie exchange for my mom’s club last year. I think the source of my baking failure is that I don’t follow directions well. But look how pretty (I showed them off on Facebook so don’t roll your eyes if we are friends there):
For anyone who would like to wow your children with similar lovely treats, it really was simple. I mixed up 2 boxes of white cake mix and split it between 6 smaller plastic bowls. I added sufficient food coloring to turn them bright red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. I layered them in the rainbow cupcake liners and baked. I was afraid the colors would run together. They didn’t.
I frosted them with Ducan Hines new mix-ins frosting – cotton candy flavor. (Not a paid shout out. And seriously not as icky as it sounds…didn’t taste bad at all.) Then I topped with a strip of sour fruit strips. The kids at school and the birthday girl were all quite impressed. And I, obviously, was quite impressed with how well they turned out. Hence my repeated showing off of the pretty cupcakes.
Cupcakes aside, Sabrina had a great birthday. The sleepover went okay. I don’t think we’ll have another for awhile but the girls had fun overall.
Her other piece of excitement this month was a brush with cheerleading. She took a 1 afternoon cheerleading clinic at the local high school and then got to cheer during half time at the football game. She was nervous and excited and thought it was all quite cool. She didn’t really bother to learn the little routine but instead spent most of her time on the field trying to do a handstand. But she had a great time. Tessa thought it was cool and cheer for Sabrina the whole time. “Go Sabrina!” It was all a lot of cute.
This head thrown back laughter is the essence of Sabrina.
Otherwise we are just trying to keep up with site words and book reading and math and homework for the first grade. Sabrina needs to work a little harder to master the skills required. If things are hard or not fun, she tends to give up. As a result, she doesn’t test well at school. They sent home a report that she didn’t do well in number recognition. Looking at the test (assessment not graded test), I could see exactly where she lost interest and just started throwing out random guesses so she could stop doing it. I’m not sure how to motivate her but we keep working. Her reading improves each week – unless she isn’t in the mood to do it and then she pretends to not know a single word.
I’m spending way too much of my time lately with a paint brush (or marker or scissors or paper) in my hands. I’m not quite sure what I am going to do with all of the canvases I am producing.
I can’t seem to stay out of Hobby Lobby. Good thing my girl friends got me gift cards for my birthday.
Well. The big day is here. That birthday that I’ve dreaded and joked about since I remember my mother turning it. The big 4-0. Forty. Four decades. 14600 days. (My husband will likely point out I didn’t include the extra days for leap years. He would be correct.) And honestly? Today will just be another day. My youngest is home with me. My oldest is in school. Husband at work. But the day will end with my favorite annual treat. (Usually bi-annual but our Bruster’s closed and just re-opened a month ago so I didn’t get my Mother’s Day ice cream cake – can you believe he refused to drive to Chattanooga to get me one?) So there is that to look forward to – coffee ripple ice cream with chocolate cake. Yum! And my girlfriends want to go out this weekend for a little celebration. Another thing to look forward to. My husband and some friends surprised me with a celebration last weekend at a local winery that we’ve been talking about visiting for years. The weather was A-MAZ-ING. The vineyard (Arrington – owned by Kix Brooks if you are a country fan) was lovely. The wine was flowing freely. And I was surrounded by some of my favorite people. It was a great night. (Photo taken by a friend’s husband. After multiple bottles of wine had been consumed.)
It was a great way to ring in a new decade. And I look forward to some other faces joining the celebration this weekend.
Remember back in May, I said I was going to do 40 random acts of kindness before my 40th birthday? I said I would document them and share. I started to do that (the documenting). Then I realized that while I was documenting these things, they stopped feeling so random and started feeling rather self congratulatory. I was thinking about things I could do that would make good blog fodder. That was so not the point of that. So I stopped the documenting and just starting doing them when opportunities occurred. I completed #40 this weekend. The recipient of that act may not realize that she was part of my birthday goal but I was happy with my final act. I’m not going to list them all here as I originally intended but some examples: complimenting random strangers, paying for the Starbucks order behind me in the drive thru, leaving a handmade gift for someone who was struggling, mailing some surprises to folks who could use a pick-me-up, taking carts left in the parking lot back to the store, and other small gestures. None of them were huge. But they all likely made someone smile. My favorite was standing outside of Aldi’s and handing out quarters to women digging in their bags for one. (You have to have a quarter to get a shopping cart at Aldi’s. It is a pain in the butt if you aren’t prepared ahead of time.) It was just a quarter but several people just lit up (others were very confused). I had fun with it and it made me feel a little better as I approached this big day.
I’ll get a post up soon about Sabrina’s 6th birthday which was last week. Going out of order is just how we roll around here. | <urn:uuid:a9fb5d43-c8d2-4fc9-aba6-92c27eda4fe7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://michellesmiles.com/?m=201209 | 2024-04-13T21:58:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.980109 | 1,879 |

Preparing ES Emini and MES Micros Traders
To Trade In Our S&P Trading Room
Price Action Bounce Trading System. How To Scalp ES Emini or MES Micros Futures.
Helping Futures Traders Via Our Core Strategy Academy Training Program and Futures Trading Group – The Best Emini Group IMHO.
“Welcome to the AM briefing video presented by micros trader.com where together we trade better. Good morning, good morning, happy Thursday, April the 4th, the day before nonfarm payroll, a perfect day in all honesty to not trade. The risk of trading is much higher today; this is a low probability environment. You should still watch price action; it doesn’t mean that you should trade. So be careful today. Today is a perfect day to leverage down; it’s the day before nonfarm payroll, also known as ‘Rip Your Face Off’ day, also known as FFO day. So be careful.
Alright, so for this year I’m tracking some additional metrics to the best of my ability. It’s something I know I’ve got to keep up every day, but for the limited data we have (and it’s not many trades yet), but I’m tracking trading windows. And I’m just going to bring this out in general: So if you trade the AM and PM, okay, and not trading New York lunch or the Power Hour, okay, this is the number of winners, pretty consistent, right? That’s about equal. What about the number of losers? Number of losers dramatically increase if you trade New York lunch and Power Hour. Now, at this time, all of these losses are in the Power Hour. So, it’s a little deceptive. And it’s a small data set. And then the number of break-evens: 10 versus 16, almost, well, it is 1.6 times the number, so 4 times the losers, 1.6 the break-evens. Of course, these metrics will change a little bit as time moves on.
So, I wanted to drill down a little bit more into the Power Hour. So actually, the Power Hour, I am tracking them by the first 30 minutes versus the final 30 minutes. Once again, these are winners, losers, break-evens. So let’s look at the final 30 minutes as an example: 6 winners, okay, six flat out, no question about it, rip-your-face-off losers, and 7 break-evens. Do you want to trade during a time where this is your percentages? The first 30 minutes: 3 winners, 2 losers, 4 break-evens. Avoid trading the Power Hour. If you do trade, what should you do? Dial way down, require backup levels, because this doesn’t look great. Probably even trade with a bigger stop-loss. I don’t know, it’s a tough environment and the metrics aren’t that beautiful. Or would you rather trade in an area where you got 24 winners and 2 losers, or 9 winners and 9 losers? Which one? How can you get rid of C and D level trades? When should you not be trading? That’s today’s tip: Know when you should not be trading.
Today’s news drivers: unemployment claims. But tomorrow is one of the trifecta of news events, which is the trifecta is FOMC, CPI, and nonfarm payroll. Today we have unemployment claims and several speakers spread throughout here. The New York lunchtime frame and the PM, actually. So, nope, actually, it’s all New York lunch. NOP, this 1:00 is my time George, sorry, these are Central times. So, this does start the Silver Bullet hour with a speaker, interesting. Alright, so we’ll see how all of that plays.
So, where are we on the chart? Well, yesterday we failed to fill this gap. Okay, we failed to fill it. To me, that was just such a big red flag. And we’ve got this reversal box situation. If you’re in my group and you want, and because you don’t get these all the time, search our group for reversal boxes. I’m pretty sure I have it in Flight School, and we talk about the requirements of that to where you’re not a victim of this. And if in fact, we’re anticipating this, trying to find a way to be short with that. Okay, the thing you don’t want to do is go long unless you go long at the very bottom of the range. Go to your three-minute chart, look at that front side. You’ll see it tagged it perfectly. Our reversal box rules rock. Make sure you investigate that.
So, yesterday, the PCK was right here, and look where we have danced all night long on top of PCK. Come up, and it was only when we opened up in the maintenance period, we ran up here and grabbed the gap. I mean, talk about manipulation. I mean, seriously. So, that’s interesting in and of itself. And at this point, if you’re going to draw a trendline, you’d have to come in here and draw something like this. Okay, now, careful with shorts above that didn’t really turn out to be true. And what didn’t happen though, and I this is what I told the group, this is not short-covering to me. This is not short-covering. And they couldn’t get the gap. I felt the shorts were not getting out of their positions. And we got this beautiful reversal box. Now, they might have gotten out here. This looks more like a short-cover move, not this stuff here. So, we’re going to see. I’m not going to change my notes there. You should be careful with shorts above. We filled the gap. Are we going to get back into the range of this day? Are we going to get back into that range on Monday and take it all back? It’s very, very, very possible. At this point, you’d have to say we are lading up. This is a little bit of like a ceiling here. Are we going to pop that? Then we’ve got this strong range. And I think once we, especially now, get over Monday’s half-back, be careful shorting above. I’m going to trade the levels as they’re presented. And I’m hoping that if we’re, if we get up here, I’m already long. I’m just on for the ride. I’m not looking for a short. I want to be long for the ride. Now, if it proves to me something different, I don’t mind going short. But at this moment, the play looks long or flat. Long or flat.
