Out of the mouths of babes.
It means, sometimes, a child will say something which is surprising, because of its wisdom. Perhaps we are seeing the beginning of a new avenue in a movement. Often the younger generation can be an engine of change. Perhaps we are seeing the beginning of that as high school kids are marching for more gun control after we have witnessed another horrible shooting at a high school.
We have seen young people move to the forefront before in bringing about needed change in our culture. We have seen it with student sit-ins at racially segregated lunch counters in the segregated South. We have seen it with student protests on college campuses during the controversial Vietnam War.
Out of the mouths of babes is the old saying. It speaks to a wisdom which can, at times, come from a child who speaks with an innocence. Young people - high schoolers - in this country are pushing for change in our gun laws.
The American cultural landscape has changed, because so many incidents of crazed gunmen who came running through schools. From Columbine, to Cleveland and Chardon here in Northeast Ohio, to Sandy Hook to Florida, with other gunfire in between.
In many cases, the staccato sound of assault rifle fire has disrupted the tranquility as a crazed person with his finger on the trigger has fired without regard into crowds of people in schools, churches, mosques, movie theaters, shopping malls and concerts.
Each time, there have come shouts of the need for change in our gun laws. But those shouts and demands are too often met with other voices which say this is not the time to discuss tightening gun laws, because the grief is so heavy for the families of the victims. We hear too many politicians with little or no backbone who refuse to deal with what is right before their faces. They receive too much money and support from those who want to keep the status quo.
Well, when is the right time to talk? When is the right time to do the right thing? Right now is always the right time to do what is right.
This country is wrestling with a lot of problems. Everything from Russian hacking into the American elections system to neo-Nazis as white supremacists marching while a disengaged president fiddles, refusing to lead, only deciding to tweet during the midnight hours.
Add to the problem the troubling scenes of violence with guns on our city and suburban and rural streets. So here we are again, wringing our hands because 17 more people - students and faculty - have been killed and another dozen-and-a-half wounded by gunfire. The staccato sound of an assault weapon broke the calm of a school day.
I long for the days of safe schools, those which I knew. But times have changed. I have grandchildren to whom I have to explain why there is such violence. They are afraid, because in their school they are constantly looking for the way out if a gunman comes running.
Now the youngest among us are demonstrating. And rightly so. They are calling for stricter gun laws. A few years ago, it was elementary school kids - many of whom could not yet spell the world "gun," who were killed when a crazed gunman came running. We saw President Obama shed tears with the families of more than 20 elementary school kids killed while they studied the alphabet and were not yet old enough to fully comprehend their multiplication tables.
Now, with the shooting in Florida, teenagers have begun to speak out of the senselessness we are living. And some of us are dying.
Often, clear-thinking youngsters have been the engines of change. Sometimes out of the mouths of babes has come a truthfulness based on their innocence. Are we seeing a new avenue in a movement? I hope so.
If not, I wonder when the gunman will again come running. And where?

Paul Crookston at the Washington Free Beacon exposed just how fact-averse cable "news" networks can be when it comes to liberal darlings. On Tuesday's MSNBC Live, host Hallie Jackson addressed Elizabeth Warren's now-disproven claim that she was dismissed from a teacher job in 1971 for being pregnant. Jackson aired old video of Warren telling a much different story -- that she left voluntarily to stay home with her new baby. Jackson put on the communications director for EMILY's List, a PAC for "pro-choice Democratic women candidates," to explain away Warren's dishonesty on the campaign trail.
The Free Beacon did the reporting, digging up county records that demonstrate that the board of education in Riverdale, New Jersey unanimously approved Warren to continue teaching before accepting her resignation with "regret." Warren, who did not return the Free Beacon's requests for comment, later told CBS News that she was "shown the door." She's been lying about this tale -- repeatedly. CBSNews.com had the story.
As of now, the "independent fact-checkers" have yet to arrive on the scene.
This was the funniest line of EMILY's Bunk. "Women were not allowed to get a credit card without their husband's approval pretty recently," Reynolds claimed. Congress stopped that...in 1974. "Pretty recently" is NOT 45 years ago.
HALLIE JACKSON: So the senator explains the discrepancy in those accounts by saying, 'Listen, in the decade-plus since I was sitting at UC-Berkeley, I've been able, and feel more comfortable opening up about my story and my life and my experiences. Does that hold water to you?
CHRISTINA REYNOLDS: It does to me. I think, for one, there may be multiple reasons why she didn't come back to that job. But I think what's clear is we know, listen, women were not allowed to get a credit card without their husband's approval pretty recently. This is not a surprise.
We've heard from at least one teacher in the area from where Elizabeth Warren was teaching at the time that pregnant women were asked not to come back. And so I think raising this issue is really important. It holds water to me that maybe that's not something she wanted to come out with initially. I think absolutely, I think we've asked a lot of women in the public eye to answer for things that weren't discussed very broadly and they're starting to be discussed more. That's the beauty in having multiple women running for president, is we can have these conversations. And so I'm glad she's having them and acknowledging that.
It should be pointed out that Reynolds wasn't only invited to shore up Elizabeth Warren from breaking controversy. Before that, Jackson asked her about a new Kamala Harris hubbub. Her husband Douglas Emhoff is a partner at the law firm DLA Piper, and a lawyer for a woman filing a sex assault claim against the firm wrote an open letter to Harris asking for her help in getting her client released from the firm’s mandatory arbitration rules so she can “get her day in court.”
"I think they've handled it exactly right," Reynolds said, noting Candidate Harris opposes forced arbitration, so it's "asked and answered" and we should "move on from it." Apparently, all "pro-choice Democratic women candidates" should be free of controversy. | <urn:uuid:01481ea2-31c9-4d4c-95c0-8e2c10c6522e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tim-graham/2019/10/09/msnbc-cues-pro-abort-pac-flack-argue-warrens-fired-teacher-lies-hold | 2024-04-17T08:03:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.982349 | 704 |
Dental anxiety is not uncommon, even in adults. The fear of pain or the unknown, or even just having someone in your personal space, can spike fear and anxiety in patients when they visit the dentist. With sedation dentistry, patients of the Sherwood, OR area can visit New Smiles Dental and feel relaxed and comfortable with their oral health care in the hands of our trained and experienced providers.
WHAT IS SEDATION?
Sedation methods can make patients feel much more relaxed during their visit to the dental chair, making it easier for dentists to complete procedures. Sedation can be used for extensive procedures or simple dental cleanings, depending on the anxiety levels of the patient. Sedation can also help for patients who struggle to stay still during appointments, are having several procedures done at once, or even for individuals who have a strong gag reflex which makes dental work uncomfortable.
TYPES OF SEDATION AVAILABLE WITH THE TEAM OF NEW SMILES DENTAL
Individuals ready to learn more about sedation methods can ask about any of these solutions available:
- Nitrous oxide – also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is perfect for patients with mild anxieties or those who have strong gag reflexes. This odorless, colorless gas is administered through the nose and provides patients with a relaxing sensation. Patients are awake during their procedure when nitrous oxide is used, and can be brought back to their normal state with oxygen supplementation afterwards.
- Oral conscious sedation – patients who have mild to moderate anxieties may benefit from oral conscious sedation. This method of sedation uses a medication that is prescribed to the patient and taken approximately one hour before their appointment. Patients arrange transportation to and from the appointment. While patients are awake during this time, they will often not remember their treatment later in the day.
- IV sedation – we offer two types of IV sedation, including conscious sedation and deep sedation. These are best suited for patients with moderate to severe levels of anxiety. | <urn:uuid:e88ac049-9cd4-4b7c-a6c8-3d83ad04ae1b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.newsmiles.com/methods-of-sedation-available-at-new-smiles-dental/ | 2024-04-17T09:31:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.952852 | 417 |
The New York Yankees just had the wildest and weirdest weekend. Capping off a four-game set the Yankees went into Saturday and Sunday (June 25th, 26th) facing the Houston Astros. Going into Saturday the series was tied 1-1 with a bottom of the ninth walk off Yankees win in game one and a tight 3-1 Astros win in game two. Saturday the Yankees went into their home ballpark looking for the series lead. Gerrit Cole was on the mound facing Cristian Javier, Cole has been solid all season long and even flirted with a perfect game as Javier Has been one of the most consistent pitchers in Houston's starting rotation.
The first six innings came and went with a 0-0 score, but this was not your average pitching duel, the Yankees did not have a hit as the Astros only had two hits going into the 7th. Cole was breezing through the 7th with two quick outs, then the Astros would get their first big hit of the game as J.J. Matijevic bashed a 403-foot solo shot to put the Astros on the board, 1-0. The Astros would end up hitting one more homer coming in the 8th against Mike King and would score again in the 9th from three hits off of Lucas Luetge.
Going into the bottom of the 9th inning it was a 3-0 Houston lead as the Yankees were yet to have a hit. At that point Cristian Javier was already out of the game after throwing seven no-hit innings and 115 pitches, being relieved in the 8th by Hector Neris, allowing Ryan Pressly who was looking to close things out and pick up the save. The New York Yankees were being combined no-hit by the Houston Astros. The Yankees were facing a closer they just beat up the other night for the walk off win, coming with an ERA above 4.00 Ryan Pressly was tasked for the final three outs. At the plate for the bottom of the 9th was Anthony Rizzo who went down swinging on strike three along with Josh Donaldson striking out followed by a Giancarlo Stanton weak groundout. The New York Yankees have just been no-hit in the Bronx, in Yankee Stadium by the Houston Astros. This was the first time the Yankees fell victim to being no-hit since 2003 when the Houston Astros threw a combined no-hitter, it was a repeat of history more than 18 years later.
Going into game two on Sunday the Yankees in a way had something to prove, they are 30+ games above .500 and stand as the best team in baseball but just got no-hit the day prior against a team that many project will face the Yankees in the playoffs.Nestor Cortes would get the call to start for New York, facing Jose Urquidy for the final game of the set. It was a true tale of two pitchers as Cortes went to the mound in midst of an all-star season with an ERA below 2.50 as Urquidy came in struggling heavily in the season, despite his 5-2 record the righty had an ERA above 4.30 for the season.
It seemed like a nightmare all over again for the Yankees, five innings of no-hit ball with their last hit coming on Friday. Going into the 7th inning there was still a big zero in the Yankees hit and run column, that would all change though as with one out in the seventh Giancarlo Stanton would smash a dead center home run, giving New York hit No.1 and run No.1, it was then a 3-1 ballgame. Overall the New York Yankees were no-hit by the Astros for 6.1 innings on Sunday and a combined 15.1 innings straight since Friday’s game.
The Yankees would score again in the 8th inning via a DJ LeMahieu two-run shot to tie the game. The ballgame would then go into extra innings after zeros were put on the scoreboard for the 9th inning. Aaron Hicks would be the ghost runner on second to start off the 10th inning, he would advance to third base from a sacrifice bunt by Kiner-Falefa. Matt Carpenter would then pinch hit for catcher Jose Trevino, Carpenter would get the IBB to make runners on the corners, setting up for the double play. DJ LeMahieu would strike out swinging for the second out, bringing Aaron Judge to the plate. Aaron Judge did what he has done all year, coming in clutch. On the second pitch of the at-bat Aaron Judge would drill a three-run shot out of the stadium for the walkoff win, 6-3 the score was, with Seth Martinez getting the loss.
The New York Yankees did not have a hit going into the 7th inning, they were losing 3-0 and in a matter of just one at-bat everything changed as the Giancarlo Stanton home run gave the Yankees life. From the 8th inning of the Friday matchup to the 7th inning and one out of Sunday’s game, the New York Yankees went 0 for 52. It was the longest hitless streak by innings (15.1) for the Yankees in the last 70 years. The Yankees remain the best team in baseball with a 53-20, the record is tied third best in franchise history for the team’s W-L record. | <urn:uuid:0ecec631-c923-4370-92cf-6d07c65939b3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.newyorksportsshow.com/post/the-new-york-yankees-had-the-craziest-weekend-in-franchise-history | 2024-04-17T09:54:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.980491 | 1,108 |
DHAKA: Bangladesh cruised to a comfortable eight-wicket victory over Zimbabwe in the opening tri-nations campaign on Monday, overtaking the visitors’ meagre total of 170 with overs and wickets to spare.
Tamim Iqbal struck an unbeaten 84 to lead the chase as Bangladesh reached 171-2 in 28.3 overs after left-arm spinner Shakib al Hasan gave the team early momentum with two wickets in the opening over of Zimbabwe’s innings.
Shakib finished the day with 3-43 and he also scored 37.
‘I think losing two wickets inside the first over shifted the momentum,’ Zimbabwean skipper Graeme Cremer told reporters after the match.
“We have got a couple of starts but could not make them count,’ he added.
Sikandar Raza top-scored for Zimbabwe with 52 and he added 50 runs with Peter Moore(33) to help them past 150.
Tamim, who hit eights fours and a six, lost his opening partner Anamul Haque (19) early but added 78 with Sakib for the second wicket to set up the victory for Bangladesh.

DYNAMOS’ Portuguese coach Paulo Jorge Silva is worried by the team’s defence which leaked like a sieve in an 11-goal thriller friendly against players out of contract at Hellenics Sports Club on Tuesday which the Harare giants won 7-4.
It was the first time for the coach who only resumed his duties last week to have a proper assessment of his team in a game situation.
The out of contract players, under the Footballers Union of Zimbabwe (FUZ), are training to keep themselves fit as they hope to land contracts elsewhere and took the opportunity to play against the Glamour Boys.
They include former Dynamos players Edward Sadomba, Guthrie Zhokinyu, Thomas Magorimbo, Benjamin Marere and Brighton Tuwaya among others.
Dynamos scored their goals through Richard Kawondera, Farai Mupasiri, Brett Amidu, Mussa Madhiri, Dominic Mukandi and Masimba Mambare who scored a beautiful goal as he tries to impress the new coach.
But the Dynamos coach said while he was satisfied with conversion rate he was worried by the lack of concentration at the back and the rate at which it conceded goals.
“This is my first time to see the players in a real game situation and I must point out that I am disappointed with the way we conceded goals,” said Silva who also praised Mambare for the goal he scored.
“In the first 45 minutes, we were leading 2-0 but in 50 minutes it was 2-2. I was not happy with the defending although we eventually won the match 7-4.
“I still have a lot of work to do especially in defence. But, I am happy for the players in attack, the fighting spirit is there, everyone wants to score goals.”
The Dynamos trainer, tasked to lead the team to the championship this term, maintained he was still looking to add two more players in the attack from outside the country.Advertisement | <urn:uuid:8c84d3cf-f2b1-45a5-a376-278cd6f7b11b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.newzimbabwe.com/leaky-defence-worries-new-dynamos-coach-after-11-goal-thriller/ | 2024-04-17T10:12:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.985127 | 421 |
VICTORIA FALLS: The revival of former giant steelmaker Zisco by Essar failed initially because of bickering within Zimbabwe’s power-sharing government and then delays by the Indian firm, Industry Minister Michale Bimha has said.
Zisco, once sub-Saharan Africa’s largest steelworks producing about 2 million tonnes of steel annually, was effectively shut down due to mismanagement and lack of capital in 2008 at the height of Zimbabwe’s economic crisis.
But in 2011, President Robert Mugabe and his opposition rival and Prime Minister in a power-sharing administration presided over an elaborate relaunch of Zisco, under the promise of significant investment by Essar in terms of a $750 million deal.
Essar beat off several rivals, including ArcelorMittal and Jindal Steel, to land the tender to take over Zisco. However, the deal quickly unraveled amid allegations that government was having a re-think of the iron ore concessions it had granted Essar as part of the transaction.
Last year, government eventually pronounced the Essar deal dead.
Speaking at the annual Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC) congress in Victoria Falls last week, Bimha said government was now looking for a new investor for Zisco.
“Because of debt, the government decided to look for a partner with funds to recapitalize Zisco. Essar was ready to inject money but unfortunately because of the Inclusive Government there was bickering
between the Ministry of Industry and Ministry of Finance,” Bimha said.
“After the 2013 elections, positive developments took place but because Essar delayed, the government is now looking for other investors.”
In a later address at the congress, Speaker of the National Assembly Jacob Mudenda argued that Zisco could be revived with $30 million and did not require the considerable financial resources of external investors.
Mudenda said the economy cannot be revived without the steel sector.
“We can’t industrialise without the steel industry. Zisco can be revived with only $30 million locally without an external investor. I have done my investigations with engineers and found that it can be
done in two phases without an external investor,” he said.
Mudenda said he would engage Bimha and the Minister of Finance and Economic Development, Patrick Chinamasa, over the issue.Advertisement

Distributed computer vision for activity recognition
Writer: Raúl Santos de la Cámara
In Next Perception we not only research on algorithm and methods for the sensing and perception part of our applications, but have applied a strong emphasis on doing so in manners that are not centralized but distributed across the network. As an example, we present here a small example of distributed sensing that is used to detect actions by patients with the processing located quite far away from the action itself.
The piloting for Next Perception UC1-P2 was done at Lleida, in Catalonia, northeast of Spain in facilities provided by partner IRBLL. There, the setup was built on a one-bedroom model flat that resembled some used in senior homes. For the sake of simplicity only the living room was used for patient monitoring. There, two cameras were installed on the opposite sides:
We can see how the cameras covered completely the living room. In order to do the action recognition, an AI system was used that detected activity in four major categories: Cleaning, Eating, Exercising, and Walking.
The AI system required some powerful hardware to execute, so we decided to divide the work and offload the execution of the heavier AI side to our servers at HI Iberia in Madrid, Spain by means of an Eclipse Zenoh deployment:
We can see how on the side at Lleida (right) both cameras 1 and 2 encode the video over RTSP (solid lines) and also generate locally a coarse motion detection signal (dotted lines) to signify that relevant actions might be happening at each one of the cameras. This is encoded in a Zenoh subscription channel and then sent over to the regular internet. At the Madrid side (left) this is received by the router and then a camera multiplexer that decides which side to process the video data based on the motion detection metadata. This is then connected to the relevant Zenoh worker that in turn extracts the RTSP stream into video frames that are then used to feed the action recognition engine.
By using this approach, we can save resources as (1) high powered AI hardware need not be installed at the deployment side and (2) only relevant data which has been tagged as proper motion data is processed at the AI engine. During the first pilot of Next Perception in late summer 2021 this was done with minimal latency that did not impact the performance for its usage with real monitored patients.
Over the rest of the project we will improve on this approach, adding more powerful edge sensors (such as Nvidia Jetson Nano AI boards) at the Lleida side and orchestrate all of this using a more advanced Zenoh approach. | <urn:uuid:e65219bd-eda7-46fb-9687-a82c21fc2d97> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.nextperception.eu/2022/01/11/distributed-computer-vision-for-activity-recognition/ | 2024-04-17T08:00:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.952699 | 545 |

Roberts had battled numerous health issues in recent years. According to USA Today, he suffered from diabetes and also had his legs amputated after being diagnosed with gangrene. He was close friends with former 49ers teammate Ronnie Lott, who helped raised money for Roberts' medical bills through an assistance fund he set up.
He started in 37 of the 101 games (including playoffs) he appeared in for the 49ers and registered 28 career sacks. In 1991, he tied future Hall of Famer Charles Haley for a team-leading seven sacks.
The Dothan, Alabama, native attended the University of Alabama, where he transitioned from a tight end to defensive end. He tallied 48 tackles and three sacks as a senior with the Crimson Tide. | <urn:uuid:c86c6c84-fda3-4082-92dd-6544ee17d453> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.nfl.com/news/ex-49ers-de-larry-roberts-who-won-two-super-bowls-dies-at-53-0ap3000000752195 | 2024-04-17T10:19:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.986131 | 150 |

This week, both the Maine Senate and the House of Representatives will likely vote to accept the majority “ought to pass as amended” report for Legislative Document 1572. As previously reported, LD 1572 is legislation to help ensure nondiscrimination against gun owners who reside in public housing. Please contact your state Representative and state Senator and urge them to support LD 1572 by voting to accept the majority “ought to pass as amended” committee report on LD 1572. Please click the “Take Action” button below to contact your state legislators!
LD 1572, sponsored by Senator Andre Cushing (R-Penobscot), would prevent public housing authorities from adding provisions in rental agreements to ban the lawful ownership, use, possession, bearing or transportation of firearms by tenants.
LD 1572 was introduced after Harvey Lembo, a Maine resident who lives in an affordable housing community, filed a lawsuit against his landlord who threatened to evict him for lawfully possessing and using his firearm for self-defense purposes. Since moving to his apartment in 2009, Lembo’s home had been burglarized five times. On August 31, 2015, Lembo decided to purchase a firearm for protection, and less than 24 hours later, he used that firearm to defend himself during a home invasion. Following this incident, Lembo’s landlord forced him to decide what was more important: affordable housing or his right to self-defense.
Law-abiding gun owners should not be denied the right to Keep and Bear Arms, regardless of their economic status or street address.
Once again, please click the “Take Action” button above to contact your state Representative and state Senator and urge them to support LD 1572 by voting to accept the majority “ought to pass as amended” committee report on LD 1572. Also, please stay tuned to www.nraila.org and your email inbox for further updates on this bill as it progresses through the Maine Legislature. | <urn:uuid:7f268808-6b4d-4ffd-862d-19d391630f44> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.nraila.org/articles/20160321/maine-state-legislature-expected-to-vote-on-firearm-owners-protection-legislation-this-week | 2024-04-17T08:58:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.970762 | 405 |
The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote next week on the “Red Tape Reduction and Small Business Job Creation Act” (H.R. 4078) – a bill that, among other things, imposes a moratorium on issuing virtually any new regulations as long as unemployment remains above 6%, regardless of the substance of such regulations or support for them. The EPA’s forthcoming reforms to the national requirements that govern sources of polluted stormwater runoff are just one example of a standard that would be blocked by this bill.
Last month, NRDC released a report showing how harmful polluted stormwater runoff can be to our health and our economy. “Testing the Waters” analyzed water quality at U.S. beaches in 2011. It found that the trillions of gallons of untreated stormwater runoff that make their way into our water bodies each year can cause beaches to violate health standards and make people sick. In fact, stormwater runoff is the largest known source of pollution that led to beach closings and advisories last year, harming local economies as well as swimmers.
In urban and suburban areas, rainwater picks up bacteria in pet and wildlife waste and garbage as it runs from roads, buildings, and other impervious surfaces into storm sewers. In 2011, polluted runoff and stormwater caused or contributed to 10,954 closing/advisory days at coastal and Great Lakes beaches.
- Polluted runoff from a sidewalk in Washington, D.C.
And that’s more than bad news for swimmers. Beaches are the top tourist destination in the country – one study estimates that swim bans at Chicago beaches cost the local economy more than $2 million a year. Another study estimates that closing all the beach sites on Lake Michigan could cause losses as high as $2.7 billion.
Often, the best way of avoiding runoff-related pollution is to reduce the volume of stormwater flowing into the storm drains that carry it to nearby water bodies or, in some cases, to sewage treatment plants. However, existing EPA rules for handling stormwater were designed more than 20 years ago. These antiquated rules haven’t kept up with changing development patterns and our increased understanding of how stormwater flows through communities and the best ways to manage it. As a result, local water quality isn’t protected, putting beachgoers and local economies at risk.
To fix this problem, the EPA has initiated an effort to reform the minimum requirements for urban and suburban runoff sources. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve stormwater controls and protect our local water bodies from pollution and erosion. The agency has been working on new requirements and is expected to propose a rule in the next year.
The new rules will likely adopt requirements to limit runoff volume from developed sites, creating strong incentives for the use of green infrastructure techniques – rain gardens, street trees, and green roofs – that create jobs, provide wildlife habitat, reduce energy use in buildings, and increase property values, in addition to protecting local waters.

In early 2013 the next generation video codec standard was approved by the Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC). The standard is called High Efficiency Video Codec (HEVC), more commonly referred to as H.265.
H.265 boasts many improvements over the previous standard, H.264, namely that it is able to maintain the same image quality at half the bitrate. A better architecture and compression algorithm allow service providers to stream videos with much better resolution using the same bandwidth.
The new standard also requires far more processing power, which will have major implications for FPGA-based video designs.
Differences between H.264 and H.265:
Architecturally, H.265 provides much greater flexibility for parallel encode/decode processing. The new standard adds a “tile” (an independently decodable region) layer on top of the “slice” layer, a modified CABAC context switching mechanism, and support for Waterfront Parallel Processing. CABAC was a challenging function for parallel processing, as it requires bitwise operation. In the H.265 standard, the parallelizing the CABAC processing is considered in the architectural layer. On top of the CABAC parallelizing, all other encoding/decoding functions can be parallelized by the Waterfront processing strategy. The waterfront processing enables the multiple macroblocks processing when it’s neighbor macroblocks are ready.
This enhanced parallel processing capability allows Ultra High Definition (UHD) 4K and 8K videos to be supported. With H.265, UHD encoding/decoding can be processed by multiple cores of HD class encoding/decoding IP.
So what does this mean for FPGA Designs?
To manage the complexity of H.265, FPGA devices can be used as co-processors or accelerators to achieve a real-time encoder/decoder system. Major FPGA vendors such as Altera and Xilinx currently offer very powerful SoC devices (Altera’s Arria V and Cylone V series, and Xilinx’s Zynq-7000). These SoC platforms could be the best approaches for development, prototyping, and production, as they provide both flexibility and performance. For simple calculations, the 4K encoding process can be split into four parallel processing pipelines, with two SoC chips performing the processing in parallel.
The newly introduced SoC devices have dual ARM processors and FPGA fabric so that motion estimation, motion compensation, and inter prediction blocks can be implemented in the FPGA fabric. Integer DCT can be implemented in the FPGA DSP area, and Syntax assemble and Entropy coding can be handled by the ARM core. As the complexity of video codec algorithm increases these types of SoC FPGAs will be the best solution. | <urn:uuid:6e89deaa-c11e-4d17-8e0c-7d1075531648> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.nuvation.com/resources/article/h265-video-codec-what-it-means-fpga-designs | 2024-04-17T08:25:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.897296 | 599 |
Woman Pleads Guilty to Social Security Disability Fraud
A lot of fraud goes on in the government. The government offers Social Security disability benefits, unemployment benefits, welfare benefits and much more. Many people try to take advantage of these benefits by engaging in fraud. Fraud is illegal and can result in prison time, among other penalties.
An Arkansas woman was arrested for fraud after she helped an inmate continue to receive Social Security disability benefits while behind bars. On October 13, the woman pled guilty to conspiracy to commit theft of government benefits.
The inmate was not entitled to Social Security disability benefits as an incarcerated man. However, the woman filled out paperwork and signed the man’s name so he could continue receiving payments. The scheme began in January 2017 and continued through March 2018.
The man and woman worked together to make it so the Social Security Administration was unaware that the man was behind bars in the Arkansas Department of Corrections, which would have made him ineligible to continue to receive disability benefit payments. The man continued to receive his payments. The woman used the money to pay her bills. She also deposited some of the money into the man’s prison commissary account.
There were recordings of the two discussing the scheme in jailhouse conversations. The woman admitted that she knew that the man’s incarceration would end his disability payments. Nevertheless, she filled out forms and returned them to Social Security office in Texarkana so that the man could continue to receive his payments.
Altogether, the woman defrauded the Social Security Administration out of $11,025. She faces up to five years in federal prison as well as a $250,000 fine. She is currently free after paying a $5,000 bond.
Types of Social Security Fraud
There are several ways in which Social Security fraud can occur. They include the following:
- Concealing facts that can affect eligibility for Social Security benefits. This was what happened in this case. The woman and man hid the fact that the man was incarcerated so they could continue to receive benefits. This is considered fraud.
- Making false statements on claims. When you apply for Social Security benefits, the information you provide on the forms must be true and correct. Lying on a form is a crime and can cause you to lose benefits as well as face penalties.
- Misuse of benefits by a representative. When a person is unable to handle their own finances, the Social Security Administration can appoint a relative or friend to handle the benefit payments. The representative must use the money for the payee, not for themselves. Otherwise, they could face fraud charges for misuse of funds.

Social Security and other government benefits are highly susceptible to fraud. People always want to get free money, but this is considered theft and fraud and it can lead to harsh penalties.
High levels of fraud can make it difficult for those who truly have disabilities to get the benefits they deserve.

My vision of Justice is to persecute all of those who have commited sexual crimes against women AND men, regardless of culture, nation, or religion. WE are ALL humans. NO ONE, regardless of their pre-conceived notions, is above the human moral code. Justice will be brought through awareness, strength, and persistence. We must educate children and re-inforce basic human rights. With this, we can help prevent these acts from reoccurring in the future. | <urn:uuid:1a18f1d3-a1f9-4980-8321-412de8724808> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.onebillionrising.org/share/justice-through-awareness-strength-and-persistence/ | 2024-04-17T10:00:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.962595 | 98 |
Facebook Ads vs. Boosted Posts
There are a variety of Ad Types that Facebook has available to promote your business. It is important to understand:
- The differences between the ads
- Not all ads are created equal
Before we jump into the differences between Facebook Ads vs Boosted Posts, let’s make sure your Facebook account is set up correctly. The most common mistake that I see when working with clients is they do not have the necessary account settings to run the type of ads they want to run. You’ll want to have a Facebook Business account, not just a profile page for your business. I know, the semantics can get confusing. This resource should help you get started with creating a Facebook Business account.
Visual Differences: Facebook Ads vs. Promoted Posts
Boosted Facebook posts, sometimes referred to as promoted posts are not very flexible in terms of the actual ads. You may have recently seen something like this in your newsfeed.
Facebook Ads on the other hand, allow for a multitude of ad types in order to engage your prospects. Below is an example of a carousel ad.
Now for the good stuff
What is a Boosted Facebook Post?
Boosted Facebook posts are a type of Facebook News Feed ad that takes your Facebook post and amplifies it to a specific audience via Facebook’s News Feed. These posts will appear higher in the News Feed of your target audience, which helps more people see your post until your budget runs out.
Boosted posts are great for driving likes, but that’s about it. Don’t get me wrong, that is not a bad thing if the goal of the campaign is to drive more likes. The downside is that boosted posts don’t offer much flexibility or allow for advanced call to action capabilities such as book an appointment or getting a user to fill out a specific form.
What is a Facebook Ad & Should I run Facebook Ads for My Business?
When done right, Facebook ads can be used to:
- Target your Ideal Customer
- Engage the User and Create Value
- Convert the User from a Visitor into a Lead
Facebook Ads allow us to create much more specific and strategic campaigns in the following ways:
Specific Campaign Goals
- Page Post Engagement
- Page Likes
- Website Clicks
- Website Conversions
- App Installs
- Event Responses
- Video Views
Putting it all together
Once you define the goal of the campaign, you can create the “workflow” of how you would like the user to interact or convert. Then you can create an ad with specific targeting to attract quality prospects.
So which is better? Boosted posts or Facebook Ads?
My advice is to utilize all Facebook Ad Formats necessary to reach your specific campaign goals. The goal is to maximize your budget and get the results you are looking for at a sustainable CPA. This should give you a better idea of some of the ad types Facebook has available.

Shield Your Residence With a Security Camera System
If you are looking to add video security to your house or service, you can do so with making use of a Security Camera System. You can select from various kinds, including Wireless electronic cameras, NVR cams, House screen systems, and Cloud recording. These safety and security remedies are created to capture images as well as videos in real-time and offer advanced capability.
There are lots of aspects to take into consideration prior to setting up wireless cams as part of a security camera system. Initially, wireless cams must have a clear line of vision to operate. This line of sight need to go to least 250 feet, though this can be as long as 500 feet in some cases. Additionally, cordless cameras must be placed on suitable frequency bands, as overlapping frequencies can decrease their range. A good way to prevent this trouble is to install cameras near the same frequency band as your home router.
One more advantage to wireless video cameras is that they require much less installation time. This is due to the fact that you do not have to fret about running network cables behind walls. They are additionally extra flexible and also much easier to install, as well as do not need to fret about power loss and signal loss. Nonetheless, one negative aspect to wireless video cameras is that they are less secure than wired cams. Additionally, the batteries of wireless video cameras can pass away when they come across challenges.
NVR video cameras
A security camera system with NVR cameras is an efficient means to ensure that your home or office is protected in any way times. NVR cameras are small and also can be positioned at various places around a building or building. They generally run all the time and can be customized to send informs when specific tasks are identified.
NVR video cameras can be located in both analog as well as electronic variations. Some NVRs sustain high definition recording on all channels, while others just sustain it on a couple of channels. The type you choose will certainly rely on your demands as well as your budget.
Home display systems
If you intend to safeguard your home with a security camera system, there are a couple of various choices. You can install your own system or employ an expert surveillance service. The expense of a monitoring solution will differ depending upon the sort of solution you choose. Nevertheless, the best alternative will certainly be one that fits your budget plan.
Residence display systems will certainly feature a screen. This display will certainly let you talk to a professional surveillance service as soon as the alarm goes off. These systems additionally allow you see the video footage recorded by set up security cameras. Some home safety electronic camera systems can be tailored to include clever residence technology. They can be compatible with the Nest Protect smoke detection system as well as the Philips Shade clever bulb.
Cloud recording for protection electronic camera systems is a fantastic way to store your video clips without needing to worry about setting up as well as maintaining a different hard disk drive. In addition, a cloud-based system suggests that you only need a single network cord to attach your security camera system to the cloud. Once there, you can conveniently configure your video cameras through a mobile application or remote desktop computer.
To obtain the most out of cloud recording, you should make certain that your security camera system is attached to a high-speed net connection. This will certainly make it possible for the safety cam to store video footage offsite and log the day as well as time. Having a trustworthy broadband link is vital, as the recorder will frequently be sending out and also receiving video clip data. In addition, a sluggish link might lead to uneven or recurring video clip footage.

When the subject of early surrealist film arises, most of us think of Salvador Dalí and Buñuel’s Un Chien Andalou, and not without good cause: even 86 years after its release, its nightmare images of piano-dragging and eyeball-slicing still lurk in our collective cinematic consciousness. But we can’t call it the very first surrealist film since, 87 years ago, French critic and filmmaker Germaine Dulac, in collaboration with no less an avant-garde luminary than Antonin Artaud, put out La Coquille et le clergyman, better know internationally as The Seashell and the Clergyman, which you can watch free above.
Un Chien Andalou met with a pleased reception, to Buñuel’s delight and Dalí’s disappointment. Dulac and Artaud’s project provoked a different reaction. “Advertised as ‘a dream on the screen,’ ” writes Senses of Cinema’s Maryann de Julio, “The Seashell and Clergyman’s premiere at the Studio des Ursulines on February 9, 1928 incited a small riot, and critical response to the film has ranged from the misinformed – some American prints spliced the reels in the wrong order – to the rapturous – acclaimed as the first example of a Surrealist film.”
The film takes place in the consciousness of the titular clergyman, a lusty priest who thinks all manner of impure thoughts about a general’s wife. In another Senses of Cinema article on Artaud’s film theory, Lee Jamieson writes that, in putting this troubled consciousness on film, it “penetrates the skin of material reality and plunges the viewer into an unstable landscape where the image cannot be trusted,” resulting in “a complex, multi-layered film, so semiotically unstable that images dissolve into one another both visually and ‘semantically,’ truly investing in film’s ability to act upon the subconscious.” It capitalizes, in other words, upon the now well-known principle that what is seen cannot be unseen.
But it also pushed cinema ahead in a way that Buñuel and Dali could run with the following year. De Julio’s article quotes Artaud’s own description of the challenge he saw the form as facing, and the one which The Seashell and the Clergyman attempts, in its way, to address: it could either become “pure or absolute cinema” or “this sort of hybrid visual art that persists in translating into images, more or less apt, psychological situations that would be perfectly at home on stage or in the pages of a book, but not on the screen.” He saw neither of these as “likely the true one,” and many filmmakers even today (David Lynch stands as a guiding light among those now living) continue the search for how best to tell stories on film in a manner suited to the advantages of film.
Even overshadowed by Un Chien Andalou, The Seashell and the Clergyman remains a popular silent film to re-score today, and you can watch the movie with a few different soundtracks online: from dark ambient artist Roto Visage, from musique concrète composer Delia Derbyshire (see right above), from large-scale experimental band Sons of Noel and Adrian, and many more besides.
The Seashell and the Clergyman has been added to our collection of Silent Films, a subset of our meta list 4,000+ Free Movies Online: Great Classics, Indies, Noir, Westerns, Documentaries & More.

Addressing a crowd in Lahore in connection with the preparations for local body elections, Jamaat-e-Islami head Sirajul Haq stated on Sunday that Imran Khan’s departure is the only answer to Pakistan’s crisis.
Sirajul Haq added that Imran Khan has become an “international beggar” as a result of Pakistan’s arrangement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), while the current government, which he described as a “combination of different parties,” is unable to control the country, reported Geo News Pakistan.
Haq said, “There is no space left for pluses or minuses from politics in this country, as Imran Khan’s departure is the only solution to all the problems. The government has increased petroleum prices again and the inflation in the country has badly affected people’s condition”.
It’s worth noting that Pakistan is presently suffering severe financial difficulties, with the country’s trade deficit widening, inflation growing, and the government is obliged to enact a mini-budget to hike taxes in order to fulfil IMF demands. In order to satisfy the IMF’s demands, Khan’s PTI-led government recently enacted the Finance (Supplementary) Bill 2021 and the State Bank of Pakistan (Amendment) Bill 2021. The bill’s introduction was required in order to obtain $1 billion in help from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) under the $6 billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF).
Haq went on to remark that the PTI-led government used to boast about being the “champion of the economy,” but that nothing has changed since “old components are being put in new machines.”
Doom in Pakistan Economy
The economy of Pakistan, in particular, is in catastrophic trouble. Inflation is at an all-time high in the country, forcing up the cost of basic necessities. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has had Pakistan on its grey list for a long time, urging it to do more to investigate and prosecute senior leaders and commanders of UN-designated terrorist groups who are involved in terror financing.
In order to lure huge investments from rich Afghanis, Chinese, and American Sikhs, the Pakistani government is planning to introduce policies that grant permanent resident status to international investors.
Shabbar Zaidi, the former chairman of Pakistan’s Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), recently stated that Pakistan is currently penniless and not in a position of ‘going concern.’ Continuing his criticism of Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan’s economic policies, the former FBR chief stated that Pakistan has approached bankruptcy and that proper actions must be taken.
Pakistan is tormented by a slew of issues. From the country’s dire economic situation to soaring food prices, political mobilization by the opposition to the government’s eroding legitimacy, the Imran Khan administration is confronted with an unprecedented crisis. | <urn:uuid:5e114cbb-11a8-4d86-8875-bb26904d9d76> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.opindia.com/2022/01/imran-khan-international-beggar-jamaat-e-islami-chief-sirajul-haq-says/ | 2024-04-17T08:25:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.959683 | 620 |

Staff and volunteers from our various programs are confronted daily with the struggles of our Street friends. This can sometimes be very overwhelming. We try to share their circumstances with all our intercessors through our Prayer Calendar that we send out each month.
Although we may not all pray at the same time or from the the same location, we remain focused on the souls who are unable to help themselves and count on us to intercede for them. By showing them the mercy and love God showed us, we may be able to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with them. He in turn, provides, heals, delivers, and can turn lives around for the good.
Knowing that we can help each Friend not only with their basic material needs through our faithful donors, but also their emotional and spiritual ones with the backing of our amazing team of intercessors is so very important to us. This is all a huge encouragement in the work of God. The problems of our Friends face can be for a long time but united in intercession, we can help them through. As Jesus taught us in Matthew 18:19-20, “Again, I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.” What a mighty promise and assurance we have of our Father, that together we can help our street friends out of their miserable situations.
Thank you so much for your prayers!!!!!!!!! We would be unable to bring all those who are so in need of prayers to God, without you.

Terrace feature at Hartshill Hayes
A double terrace surviving as an earthwork of unknown date is situated in Hartshill Hays Country Park.
1 Fieldwork by RCHME in 1997 identified a double contour terrace running NW-SE for nearly 600 metres. It is cut or overlain by and therefore predates hollow ways and woodbanks in the area. The date and interpretation are uncertain, but it could be either the remains of a trackway or a geological feature (though it is partially embanked).

TA donates more than $100k to St. Christopher Fund
Owner-operators who stopped at a TravelCenters of America location in July and August and elected to round up their purchase to the nearest dollar played a part in an approximately $101,000 donation to the St. Christopher’s Truckers Relief Fund (SCF).

Driver recognized for stopping to save unsupervised toddler on side of highway
The Truckload Carriers Association (TCA) has named truck driver Dallas Steiger, from Bay City, Michigan, a Highway Angel for stopping to help an unsupervised toddler on the side of the highway. Steiger drives for Quick-Way, Inc., out of Ludington, Michigan.
On Aug. 31, Steiger was traveling northbound on U.S. 31 in Sherman Township, Michigan, when he spotted a small child on the southbound side of the road near oncoming southbound traffic.
“It was a toddler standing on the side of the road; like, his feet were almost on the side of the white line, and he had a little toy lawn mower with him,” Steiger said.
Steiger moved his truck safely to the side of the road and then proceeded to slow/stop traffic as he moved carefully but swiftly across the highway to reach the child. As he reached the child, he was able to move him away from the oncoming traffic and turn him to head back up the driveway from which he had emerged.
Then, Steiger reconnected him with his mother, who was very shaken when she realized where he had been.
The child’s mother called Quick-Way and expressed her gratitude for the selfless actions Steiger took to save her son’s life.
“I would hope that anybody would react just like that,” Steiger said, though he admitted no other vehicles stopped to help on the busy highway. | <urn:uuid:3bc96098-9aa3-4571-ba77-58c2ae854845> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.overdriveonline.com/life/article/15303018/ta-donates-100k-to-st-christopher-fund-after-roundup-campaign | 2024-04-17T09:08:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.962392 | 1,136 |
Emotions gaming dimension, visual and graphics quality are a great part of the overall immersion level in a gaming experience. Since the 80s, we have been dreaming of full visual immersion in a video game.
The first Virtual Reality game experience was the adaptation of the iconic game series: Doom(ID software) with its 360 degrees head tracking.
The Half-life game from the successful Valve franchise proposes a real story with some crafting, shooting and puzzle-solving.
Today, we have almost reached perfect graphical realism, but one key element is still missing to initiate a new paradigm shift: Emotion. OVOMIND, with its Software Development Kit (SDK), will make it possible to improve a game’s artificial intelligence and Non Player Character (NPC) interactions.
“Since there are gaming experiences, there are emotions.”
New generation of interactivity level!
Emotions gaming 2.0: Yet, a game is unaware of the player’s emotions and a fundamental attribution error can occur. Emotions will allow a better understanding of the player’s reactions along the play. The game will adapt in real-time its many aspects like music, narratives or gameplays. Just imagine one NPC playing with you in a horror game, asking you when you are feeling stressed: “Are you feeling ok? Step back for a while, I will protect you!”.
With OVOMIND (ovomind.com) the game is now able to feel the player’s emotions and propose new story plots according to player feelings. Grant a bonus after a player’s deception, avoid to disturb when the player is frustrated, etc… the options are limitless.
The most powerful tool for storytelling and a new generation of gaming UX is now available.
In 2021, Twitch is the most important platform used, from a prime streamer to a casual streamer. Emotions, through a dedicated HUD, will allow the community to be more connected.
Emotions gaming dimension
Emotion detection in gaming makes it possible to detect stressful sequences or pain points. For example, in aiming situations on First Person Shooters or FPS. Players can now use aim training applications or look for the best aim trainer software like “KovaaK” available on “Steam” with an accuracy tester.
Those applications can be combined with OVOMIND technology and emotional
HUD/Overlay to monitor and isolate specific types of actions or sequences which provide the most intense stress.
Users can then choose appropriate training, including these stressful actions or sequences to improve their overall gaming performance. | <urn:uuid:9805810b-e558-4a08-8e61-bcbe2219b4eb> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.ovomind.com/emotions-gaming-dimension/ | 2024-04-17T08:45:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.922735 | 541 |

“Most of my students didn't have experience with meditation before my class so I was unsure how they would respond to meditation as part of an economics course. Some of the topics we discuss can be challenging and/or triggering and my hunch is that by providing students an ability to process and engage with content, their learning experiences will be improved. I am very pleased with the way that Paige tailored meditations to meet varying "moments" that we encounter in class discussions and life, and from what I have seen and heard so far, these meditations are positively impacting my students' learning. Several students report being able to settle and listen better after meditation, while others say that the meditation helps them cultivate a renewed sense of purpose for the topic we're engaging in. Regardless of whether this translates into an improvement in learning outcomes for my students—it's too soon to tell, and I haven't planned to research this specifically—I am convinced that Paige's meditations are helping my students to engage more meaningfully with their learning and enhancing their learning process. Thank you, Paige! ”

Open Credit is a relatively new financial concept that has experienced significant uptake over recent years. More than 60% of Americans now use a form of open credit as part of their financial management strategy, according to a survey conducted by the Federal Reserve. Open Credit offers numerous potential benefits but carries certain risks and obligations you must understand before agreeing.
Open credit involves granting access to a line of open-end credit without requiring specific loan terms or repayment plans before using the funds. Lenders provide borrowers access to funds with minimal restrictions on their use. The main benefit of open credit is its flexibility. Users can borrow whatever amount is necessary at any given time as long as they don’t exceed their credit limit without entering into long-term agreements or commitments. This gives borrowers more control over their finances and allows them to respond quickly if unexpected expenses arise.
It’s important to consider the interest rates and annual percentage rates before making any financial commitments. Interest rates are higher than other lending forms, such as personal loans or mortgages. This is especially true when comparing open credit to closed-end credit options. Users must not become overwhelmed by debt through careless spending habits since no fixed payment plans are involved in open credit arrangements.
- Open Credit is a financial concept that allows customers to borrow money without specific loan terms or repayment plans, often through financial institutions.
- Open credit offers borrowers greater flexibility, allowing them to borrow money as needed and respond quickly to unexpected expenses. It’s especially helpful for those with a good credit history.
- Interest rates tend to be higher than other lending forms, and borrowers must be careful not to become overwhelmed by debt through careless spending habits.
- You can use open credit arrangements for various purposes, such as financing large purchases or consolidating multiple debts into one larger loan with more favorable terms.
- Open Credit accounts offer benefits such as lower interest rates or rewards programs, and the amount of money available varies according to the lender’s criteria.
- There are limits on how much money to borrow at any given time, and borrowers must carefully manage their finances to avoid getting into potentially tricky situations with financial institutions.
What Is Open Credit?
Open credit is a type of financial arrangement that enables customers to borrow money from banks and other lenders without making an upfront payment for the purchase. It allows borrowers to spread their costs over time, making managing their finances and budget easier.
The amount of money available through open credit accounts varies according to the lender’s criteria, including income level and creditworthiness. Certain open credit accounts offer benefits such as lower interest rates or rewards programs. Understanding the risks involved before entering into any borrowing agreement is necessary.
The importance of open credit lies in the flexibility it provides to borrowers. Open credit allows them to manage their finances better, make necessary purchases when an individual doesn’t have the funds readily available, and pay off the balance over time. Open credit is particularly useful for emergencies or unexpected expenses such as car repairs or medical bills that do not fit into a person’s monthly budget.
How Open Credit Works?
Open credit is an attractive financial tool that allows customers to purchase goods and services without paying the total amount upfront. First, time acts as a currency for repayment of the debt incurred. Second, people who use open credit must provide proof of income or other sources of funds along with personal identification documents. Third, a contract must be signed that consists of all terms and conditions related to financing before making any purchases.
Open Credit enables consumers to buy necessary items beyond their means. Open credit has greater autonomy over the amount and timing of repayments than conventional methods like bank loans or mortgages. Buyers become their lenders and can keep interest payments low or even eliminate them.
Are There Any Limits With Open Credit?
Open credit is like a sailboat gliding along the sea of financial possibilities. It offers an accessible way to borrow money and make payments with ease. Lenders restrict the amount borrowed to know borrowers take a manageable loan relative to their income or other obligations. Lenders impose caps on interest rates and repayment terms for certain types of loans. The restrictions work together to protect both parties from taking on excessive risk when using open credit.
Understanding the limits associated with open credit allows users to manage their finances better and avoid getting into potentially tricky situations. Individuals can make more informed decisions if open credit financing is right for them by being aware of all available options and understanding how it impacts one’s borrowing capacity.
What Is the Average Interest Rate of Open Credit?
The average interest rates on open credit offers in the United States varied by category according to lendingtre. The average APR for all new card offers was 23.55%, slightly higher than the previous month’s average of 23.39%. Low-interest credit cards had the lowest interest rates, ranging from 13.22% to 22.78% and an average of 18.00%. Secured credit cards had the highest interest rates, with a fixed rate of 26.25%.
Category | Minimum APR | Maximum APR | Average APR |

Low-interest credit cards | 13.22% | 22.78% | 18.00% |
Secured credit cards | 26.25% | 26.25% | 26.25% |
The table shows the average interest rates on new credit card offers in the United States, categorized by the type of credit card.

The third row indicates that secured credit cards have the highest interest rates, with a fixed rate of 26.25%. The table provides a helpful summary of the different interest rates associated with various types of credit cards, helping consumers to make informed decisions when selecting a credit card.
In addition to understanding credit card interest rates, it’s important to consider the types of employee benefits employers offer. Some common types of benefits include health insurance, retirement savings plans, paid time off, flexible working options, and more. These benefits can significantly impact an employee’s overall job satisfaction and should not be overlooked when making career decisions.
What are the Types Of Open Credit Accounts?
Types of Benefits
Open credit is a loan that allows one to borrow money and pay it back in installments over time. It is an attractive option for many due to its flexibility, convenience, and ease of access. There are different types of open credit accounts available depending on individual needs. Open credit accounts include revolving credit, charge cards, installment loans, co-signer loans, secured loans, joint credit accounts, and store credit cards. One of the main Types of Benefits associated with open credit accounts is their flexible schedules for repayment.
Listed below are the types of open credit accounts.
- Revolving Credit Accounts
A revolving credit account enables consumers and business owners to borrow a certain amount of money and repay the loan in installments over a period of time. Examples include credit cards, home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), and open-end loans. - Charge Cards
Charge cards are similar to traditional credit cards because they have an annual fee and require users to pay off their full balance each month; otherwise, stiff charges occur. - Installment Loans
The installment loans involve borrowing a lump sum upfront and repaying the loan over a period of time in fixed monthly payments, including interest costs. Examples include personal loans, student loans, auto loans, and mortgages. - Co-Signer Loans
Co-signer loans involve having someone co-sign your loan for approval if you cannot repay the loan or are a business owner with enough credit history. If the loan is not repaid, the co-signer must assume responsibility. Common examples include student loans, car loans, business loans, and personal loans. - Secured or Collateral Loans
Lenders can seize assets, such as a house, car, or business owner’s assets like inventory or receivables, if borrowers do not make timely payments. Secured or collateral assets back the loan, and the lender holds onto them until the borrower repays the loan and any fees/penalties incurred due to non-payment. - Joint Credit Accounts
Joint credit accounts are similar to a co-signed loan but usually require both parties to be responsible for repayment. Only one person is responsible for repayment if needed. - Store Credit Cards
Store credit cards usually offer exclusive discounts for using them at concerned stores and no/low-interest financing opportunities for purchases over a period of time. Take caution since it tends to carry high-interest rates after expiring introductory periods.
What are the Advantages Of Open Credit?
Open credit allows an individual to access funds quickly with low-interest rates and flexible repayment terms is beneficial in certain financial situations. The advantages of open credit cards include immediate access to funds, flexible payment options, low-interest rates, credit-building opportunities, and easy accessibility.
Listed below are the advantages of open credit.
- Immediate Access to Funds
The biggest advantage of open credit is that it gives you immediate access to funds when needed. Open credit accounts allow you to pay for purchases up front and pay them off over time or in installments, making it easier for individuals with tight budgets or who have experienced a financial emergency to purchase what is needed. - Flexible Payment Options
Open credit accounts offer flexible payment options meaning you can make minimum payments if your budget is particularly tight or pay more if possible. You don’t have to stretch yourself too thin financially just because something has come up and you need access to extra funds. - Low-Interest Rates
Another great advantage of open credit accounts is the potential for lower interest rates than other forms of borrowing, such as personal or payday loans. - Credit Building Opportunities
Open credit accounts help people build their credit scores if an individual maintains a strong history of timely payments. Responsible repayment is reported on the individual’s credit report, potentially raising their score. - Easy Accessibility
The benefit of open credits is their ease of availability and application standards. Open credit financing is much easier to secure than traditional lending instruments due to its less stringent requirements and faster processing timeframes from the beginning of the application to the expiration date, depending on the lender’s policies.
What Are the Disadvantages of Open Credit?
The main disadvantage of open credit is that it leads to overspending and debt. The user quickly borrows more money without being able to repay it all at once. Open credit comes with high-interest rates meaning that if payments are missed, users are liable for significant interest and late fees.
Listed below are the disadvantages of open credit.
- Higher Interest Rates
The most significant disadvantage of open credit accounts is how much open credit costs you in interest. Interest rates on open credit accounts are higher than any other type of loan, meaning you pay more in the long run if you don’t pay your balance off quickly. - Longer Repayment TermsAnother disadvantage of using an open credit account is that repayment terms are very long, making it even harder to pay off your balance. Long-term loans mean you pay for a purchase for years instead of months, stretching out the total cost for the consumer and making it more difficult to clear the debt entirely.
- No Security Late or Non-paymentIt is difficult for creditors to collect payments if customers become delinquent with their payments or miss them altogether and default on their loans because no collateral is attached to open credit accounts.
- Lack Of Discipline For Your Spending HabitsOpening an open credit account is seen as a gateway into more debt as it gives people access to use whenever needing money without establishing good spending habits first. An open line of access such as open credit without the proper financial habit formation leads you into an ever-deepening financial hole where interest rates further compound on top of an already large amount owed, which damages your overall financial health over time and pushes back any plans towards true financial freedom in your future self’s life.
Open Credit is a financial concept that provides users flexible access to funds without specific repayment plans. It has gained significant popularity as over 60% of Americans use open credit. People use Open Credit arrangements for various purposes, such as financing large purchases, consolidating multiple debts into one larger loan with more favorable terms, and even planning retirement plans. Open credit, however, should not replace other essential financial security measures like social security. It comes with risks, and users must know its limits and obligations before entering any agreement. The average interest rate for open credit varies by category and is higher than other forms of lending. Understanding the available options and limits associated with open credit allows individuals to use it responsibly and efficiently according to their needs, providing greater control over their financial future.

When you hear the phrase "Torbjörn Golf" you might get a picture in your head of the Overwatch hero using a hammer like a golf club, maybe on a golf ball, or maybe just on Wrecking Ball. Now watch the video of Torbjörn Golf, and see what it actually looks like.
The player responsible for making this new mode in the Overwatch Workshop went in a different direction with the idea. Torbjörn is the golf ball, and powers up (you can see the number at the top of the screen increasing), then launches himself like Winston does with his jump pack attack.
Right now there's a single 18-hole golf course you can play through along with up to 11 friends on the Overwatch PTR. The mod's creator suggests setting the lobby to invite-only otherwise rounds can go forever thanks to new players continually joining. Other tips: Press crouch to see where the next hole is, and look upward to gain a bit of height. Find it with the code QT7TQ.

If there’s one game that has dominated my X (formerly Twitter) feed of late, it’s Dragon’s Dogma 2. As someone who is often slightly intimidated by the sheer size of sprawling open-world adventures, the hype has certainly infected me, and I’m halfway to pre-purchasing my own copy ahead of launch. But, when I noticed that the 2016 iteration of the original, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is currently going for the price of a coffee, I decided that might be a better place to start.
Currently sitting at the highly-coveted ‘very positive’ rating on Steam, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is the enhanced version of Capcom’s 2012 open-world game. Boasting improved graphics alongside all of the DLC content, retail-exclusives, and, of course, the Dark Arisen expansion, if you’re looking to get the complete experience ahead of the Dragon’s Dogma 2 release date, then it’s an absolute must.
And a whole lot of people would agree. Ever since the game went on sale its player count has been slowly increasing, with a burst on Sunday, March 3, and then again within the last 24 hours (Thursday, March 8). While initially hovering around the 2,500 mark, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen’s player count now sits at an impressive 5,660 – more than double where it was pre-sale.
Those numbers aren’t exactly hard to believe, given Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is currently available on Steam for $4.79 / £3.83. Upon a quick check, that’s less than a small Starbucks latte, and slightly more expensive than my favorite caramelized biscuit loaf cake. While I did miss it with my lunchtime coffee today, I’d argue Dragon’s Dogma is worth it.
If you’re looking to pick it up, you can do so here – while it downloads, I’d suggest checking out our Dragon’s Dogma 2 preview, which says that it may just be “the best open-world RPG since Elden Ring.” High praise.
Alternatively, if you want to be prepared, we have a list of all of the current Dragon’s Dogma 2 enemies, as well as a rundown of all of the different Dragon’s Dogma 2 Pawns that you’ll be able to recruit during your adventure. | <urn:uuid:21bbede4-5d1e-436f-9b2c-6df04eed5dec> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.pcgamesn.com/dragons-dogma-dark-arisen/steam-sale | 2024-04-17T09:11:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.946022 | 540 |
Senator Jacqui Lambie‘s political career has very quickly gone from a curious anomaly to the truly needless problem we really wish we weren’t having. The controversial – to say the least – senator is currently waging some sort of patently Islamaphobic campaign in the public eye, in the wake of the Government raising the terror threat level to high. Whilst last week it was a wildly ill-informed, stammering rant against the implementation and adherence to Sharia Law, now it’s a full-on assault on the traditional Islamic dress burqa.
The Palmer United Party senator today announced she is formulating plans to introduce a private members’ bill that would, if passed by Parliament, ban “identity concealing religious garments.” She also stated that, whilst she is yet to discuss the bill with any of her PUP colleagues, she does hold hopes that the debate would be put to a conscience vote in Parliament.
Here’s the problem with that – other than it being patently prejudicial, of course. There’s this little thing we have in the country known as the Constitution. Contained within the Constitution is a sentence within Section 116 that explicitly states:
“The Commonwealth shall not make any law for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion.”
You’d think attempting a blanket ban on a traditional religious dress simply because you don’t understand it fully and are prejudicially intimidated by it falls rather neatly under the banner of shit that sentence prevents, right?
‘Course, the not-so-subtle irony in all of this is it’s the exact same section of the Constitution that Lambie was using to argue why imposing Sharia Law upon an Australian citizen would also be unconstitutional. And this was no more than a week ago, mind you.
And here’s the real talk about all of this. An Australian citizen going about their regular daily business whilst wearing a burqa literally – L-I-T-E-R-A-L-L-Y – does not adversely or directly affect Jacqui Lambie’s day-to-day life one iota. Nor does it adversely or directly affect any one else’s life. This is, for all intents and purposes, the adult equivalent of banning kids from wearing hoodies to school; you were used to one thing, then something different came along, so instead of trying to understand it, you try to stomp it out so the rose-tinted vision of yesterday you’re desperately clinging to can be stubbornly preserved.
Fortunately for us, smarter people than she have safeguarded the country from its Government imposing rogue, free-will hindering bollocks. But the fact that people like Jacqui Lambie can get to the place where she has and sling ridiculous, time-wasting, xenophobic nonsense like this around should be far scarier than any perceived threat of terrorism.

New Persimmon-built Cardiff primary school now open
11 September 2023
A brand-new home for St Mellons Church in Wales Primary School opened its doors for the very first time this week, as staff and pupils arrived for the start of term at the new build £6m school, located at Persimmon’s St Edeyrns development.
The new school has relocated from its former site in Llanrumney and is one of two new build schools to open this week, delivered as part of Cardiff's Local Development Plan (LDP) by Halsall Construction on behalf of Persimmon.
The new St Mellons CIW Primary School is one form of entry, accommodating 210 pupils including a 48 place part-time nursery with the opportunity to expand to a two-form entry (420 place) in the future. There is a community facility linked to the school with private entrance and interconnecting entrance providing benefits to the wider community.
Serving parts of Pontprennau and Old St Mellons, the school is located east of the Pontprennau link road. The relocation of St Mellons CIW Primary School was part of a strategic solution to rebalance primary school provision in parts of North East Cardiff due to the issue of surplus primary school places in the Llanrumney area, and the need for additional places in Old St Mellons and parts of Pontprennau, when the St Edeyrns housing development is complete.
The multi-phase development lies within the St Edeyrns area where over 1,000 new homes will be built, as well as a district centre, community facility, and allotments. Persimmon has made substantial contributions to the local community, including over £4m bus service contribution, £312,000 in highways and transport improvements, £386,000 for the Rhymney Trail improvement contribution, and an affordable housing contribution of just under £10m to the local authority.
St Edeyrns is a development in the North East of the city as part of Cardiff's Local Development Plan (LDP), which sets out the infrastructure required to facilitate and sustain the city's growth up to 2026. The school has been as part of the planning agreement with the Council, and part funded through Section 106 contributions.
Lee Woodfine, Managing Director of Homes East Wales region, said:
"Persimmon Homes East Wales is delighted to have delivered this new school in St Edeyrns as part of our commitment to leaving a positive and lasting legacy where we build.
"It's important to us that we create a strong sense of place at our developments, meaning not just building high-quality homes but also communities where people feel at home and have access to amenities on their doorstep.
"St Mellons CIW Primary School will provide educational opportunities for generations to come, and Persimmon is proud to have played our part working with key partners, Halsall and Cardiff Council, to deliver the new school at St Edeyrns."
Cabinet Member for Education Employment and Skills, Cllr Sarah Merry said:
"This brand new school is the start of an exciting chapter for St Mellons CIW Primary School, providing children from Old St Mellons, Pontprennau, and Llanrumney with a modern, efficient and inspiring learning environment.
"St Edeyrns is already a very popular development, so this lovely new school building in its new location, will help meet the increase in demand for school places in the area. As well ensuring availability of school places, the new school boasts community facilities providing opportunities for local people to access, and I very much look forward to seeing the school develop, grow and making the school an asset at the heart of its community."
Headteacher Jane Marchesi said:
"Everyone at St Mellons CIW Primary is very excited to celebrate this new chapter in the school's history, building on a foundation of many happy memories of school life in Llanrumney and Old St Mellons.
"We would like to thank the huge team of people who have been working so hard to make sure the building is such a fabulous environment for our pupils and we are excited about all the opportunities this will offer our pupils, families and the local community. It is a privilege to be a key facility at the heart of this community and we are looking forward to welcoming all to our school family."
Halsall Managing Director, Chris Faulkner said:
“Halsall Construction working with Persimmon Homes and Cardiff Council, are delighted to have completed the Design and Build of St Mellons Church in Wales Primary School. The entire team has worked together and we are extremely proud to have delivered this wonderful building for the school to move to and, teach from the beginning of the Autumn Term'.” | <urn:uuid:8d2c5e73-5e89-4d19-a87b-aad4c8cb73c3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.persimmonhomes.com/news/new-persimmon-built-cardiff-primary-school-now-open | 2024-04-17T09:11:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.970225 | 1,003 |
Veterans can receive FREE chiropractic care at our office through the VA Choice program!
The VA Choice program is offered for the convenience of veterans, who might have a hard time visiting the local VA facility or getting an appointment. For example, the Austin VA facility has one chiropractor and from what I heard, veterans need to get on a waitlist to be seen. Due to these difficulties, the VA Choice program was established. The program allows veterans to be seen by community healthcare providers outside of VA, provided that the provider participates in the Triwest insurance network (which is associated with VA Choice). VA Choice pays the provider directly. Veterans have to determine eligibility by calling VA Choice: 1-866-606-8198. We do have veterans from Pflugerville, Round Rock, Hutto, and Georgetown visit our office using VA Choice. Unfortunately, you cannot just schedule an appointment with us. You do have to call the above phone number and once eligible, the VA Choice rep will call us to schedule an appointment.
That being said, we've heard from veterans that VA Choice gave them a hard time about needing referrals from VA primary care physicians. I do not believe that to be the case, as some veterans that used VA choice to be seen in our office did not need referrals. Please comment below if you encounter difficulty.
We would like to offer calling VA Choice for you at our office so we can get through the issues together. Just schedule a consultation with us, visit our office, and we will call VA choice with you. There is no charge for this service. Call (512) 251-9686 today to schedule the no-cost consultation! | <urn:uuid:ddd6be73-42a3-4974-892e-4e3fdf7a06c9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.pfwellnesscenter.com/single-post/2018/02/23/veterans-can-receive-free-chiropractic-care-at-our-office-through-the-va-choice-program | 2024-04-17T09:24:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.944868 | 340 |
Shanghai: Day Three – Airybuddy in the house feelin’ sickly (brrrump-bump-ba-da-da-bump).
Yeah, something minor, yet annoying seems to have stricken all the inhabitants of the Shanghai grotto. Common theories point to the local smog situation, the allowance of smoking in restaurants, and, of course, too much gay sex and the bird-flu. Less prevalent theories exist, but they are not fit for even the depravity of the internets. So, we pop the vitamin C and zinc and look a little more tired than we feel – but all is well. It’s been a while since I “lived” with other dudes, and I gotta admit it has its charm. Guys are easy, not much phases us; a lot less demanding than cohabiting with the fairer sex, who have standards on all sorts of irrelevant and pointless things like “dust” and “hygiene.” Nah… I exaggerate, we’re all squeaky clean.
Last night we hit the local “fake” market. You know, where you can get a ripoff version of just about anything you want. The hot commodities this season seem to be bags, watches, DVDs, and scarfs. The entire experience was a little surreal and definitely annoying. White guys must have a huge only-visibly-to-Chinese neon sign flashing above their heads. We’re all rich to them, cast aside money with indifference. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that we arrived shortly before the market was closing, but within feet of crossing the threshold into the shopfront-lined streets we were literally assaulted with offers. “Excuse me sir! You want watches? Bags? DVD? Best quality, good price for you!” It didn’t end either. You weren’t just approached and left alone with a wave and a “mai-yo.” No, it was like a huge snowball, Chinese hawkers drawn to our white skin as if by magnet. They hit you and stuck with you, following you.
You know that cartoon where there’s two dogs walking down the street? They’re both caricatures of gangsters, one a large bulldog, and one a little tiny terrier, both wearing tiny dog-bowlers cocked to one side. The bulldog is obviously the boss, and the little dog is his toadie. The little dog, Chester, keeps jumping over the big dog, Spike, asking him what they’re gonna do. “What are we gonna do? Huh Spike? What next?” And then the big dog would knock him down and go, “Shet uuuup Chester.” These guys were all Chesters, stalking you, harping into your ear over and over and over. There was no “No,” no “I’m not interested.” At first I was put-out by it, at times I wanted to punch these guys, tugging on my shirtsleeves and looking up at me with puppydog eyes. But soon I was able to remove myself from the situation and look at it from the “outside.” As soon as I did that, the whole thing became utterly hilarious.
Snappy-dressed Chinese men circled around the small knot of foreigners like sharks, holding out glossy color printouts of the various fakes they could produce back at their store. A moving tangle of people strolling down the alleyway, English-speakers at the center of it all trying their best to act like nothing was out of the ordinary. All the while begging, pleading, competing vendors making competing pleas right alongside them. It didn’t matter that there were 1000 stores selling the exact same cheap knockoffs.
We ended up making jokes out of it. I’d stroll up to guys and ask them, straight-faced, “Excuse me, do you know anywhere where I could buy something like… ah… lemme think… maybe a bag? Or a watch or DVD or something?” After watching them cream their jeans in anticipation of the 70¢ they were about to make off me – I’d just laugh in their pathetic forlorn faces and walk on. I found this ultimately gratifying. You had to do this, or you would go insane. It was a little like torture… unending, unrelenting – but it was also so absurd you couldn’t help but laugh. I cursed myself for forgetting my cellphone, as I wanted so bad to record a snippet of the banter for hilariousness purposes.
The locals who took us actually apologized, and were really concerned that we’d tell others about the experience in a negative way. The people here love their city and their culture, and they really didn’t want us holding a bad view. They said we were only assaulted because the place was about to close and everyone was looking for one last big sale. That, and because we looked so “rich and powerful.” I dunno about “rich and powerful,” more like fat and lazy… but ahh well, such is life. | <urn:uuid:09d2b2a9-b9dc-49eb-86f6-9c7eb9bada20> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.pharaohweb.com/blog/category/shanghai/page/2/ | 2024-04-17T10:23:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.977164 | 1,102 |
Pharma marketers face a crisis in digital media. But there's a way to turn it around.
The trend is undeniable: ever larger portions of media budgets are moving to the online channel. This movement is now accelerating rapidly, as marketers look for greater efficiencies in a challenging economic environment. The implications for every business category are vast, but no industry is in a riskier position when it comes to online media than pharma.
For a variety of reasons (regulatory review time lines, uncertain approval dates, lack of familiarity with the channel, innate industry conservatism), pharma buyers tend to be slow to make online advertising commitments. As a result, when they finally pull the trigger they often find the best inventory gone.
That's a problem. Quality online advertising real estate is in short supply, especially premium placements on marquee destinations such as MSN, Yahoo!, MayoClinic, and WebMD. By being slow to buy, pharma companies often end up with remnant inventory that fails to perform. Small wonder that a 2008 eMarketer study found that only 4.1 percent of pharma ad dollars went to the digital channel, compared with an average of 7.3 percent in other industries.
But with Internet usage now on par with TV viewership, according to Jupiter Research, it's essential for pharma to be competitive in the online market. In order for pharma marketers to compete effectively, we need to fundamentally shift the way our online campaigns are planned and purchased. We need to change our approach to the planning continuum, from start (strategy) to finish (regulatory approval). And we need to venture into new territories—such as social media and widgets—to have any chance of keeping up.
No other industry is so plagued by product launch-date uncertainty. The result: Pharma is at a buying disadvantage from the get-go. Compounding the problem is the fact that we can never be sure how these shifting timetables will affect our media budgets, so we don't know what size of buys to commit to the strategy and planning of our online campaigns. There are no simple answers here. But by being more innovative in the types of ads we use and how we design our planning schedules, pharma can help level the playing field.
One simple way to ensure the success of a campaign that may be forced to use less-than-ideal placements is to take advantage of hybrid pricing. This technique lowers risk by structuring deals around pay-for-performance media, whereby we pay for user interactions or completed registrations, rather than simply buying impressions and hoping for the best. One vendor, Videoegg, facilitates this model by allowing advertisers to pay only upon user engagement.
Another strategic solution lies in breaking the typical planning cycle. Most companies plan media campaigns from January through December. As a result, if regulatory realities require you to plan later than say, October, there is typically very little premium inventory available early in the next calendar year. To address this problem, consider planning your media campaigns from March through February. Because underperforming sites and placements are cut from plans in the early stages, by Q2 inventory tends to free up as buyers optimize their plans.
Though it might seem counterintuitive to purchase poorly performing inventory, a different message, offer, or creative execution might perform well in the same online real estate. Just because a placement or site underperforms for one brand doesn't mean it will underperform for yours.
Planning media campaign launches during Q2 not only allows you to pick up on the cheap inventory that's been dropped by other advertisers, but also gives you the opportunity to test those premium placements in Q1 of the following year—then you'll be ahead of next year's typical planning cycle.
Bottom line: Understanding the planning habits of others—particularly your competitors—is crucial to your own planning success. Pharma agencies must be more dynamic in their strategy than their non-pharma counterparts, and look to shift their planning cycles accordingly.
Smarter buying of "traditional" online inventory will dramatically improve online ROI. But to really maximize returns on your marketing dollars, you also need to think differently about the online media landscape as a whole. That means reaching beyond the normal channels and exploring the newer terrain of social media and user-generated content.
At first glance, this horizon may look not just unfamiliar but downright bleak to an advertiser. Click-through rates (CTRs), a standard metric, are notoriously low on social media sites such as MySpace, Facebook, and YouTube. Valleywag, for instance, quotes one media planner as saying, "Facebook was consistently the worst performing site on just about every campaign we ever ran with them." Their example cites a CTR of .04 percent—well below the online industry average of .21 percent listed by MarketingSherpa. While this may seem like unfamiliar terrain to pharma marketers, with the right approach it can be quite effective.
The true promise of social media lies in using them in a way that fits the form, not forcing the ad model to function where it doesn't belong. In the social media world, you have the chance to engage with the active social media participant who may be a brand maven in hiding. Capitalize on the inherent, outspoken nature of bloggers; allow them to become your brand stewards and your media planning partners. Sites like Brickfish.com and wegohealth.com have already taken the step to mediate such interactions.
In addition to social media partnerships, pharma marketers must explore other innovative digital tactics that have the potential to reach consumers in powerful, diverse ways. For instance, branded widgets—portable, downloadable tools that users can post on their Facebook page, download to their desktop, or install on their iPhones—provide users with real utility while offering advertisers a messaging platform that doesn't require banner ad space. Some pharma companies are already developing tools for filtering specialized healthcare content, pollen-trackers for allergy sufferers, and bathroom guides for those suffering from an overactive bladder. By introducing your brand in a subtle, yet informative and interactive way, you build a trusting relationship from which both parties can benefit.
Being a dollar short and a day late in the digital realm was never a smart strategy for pharma marketers, but now it's downright dangerous. By looking at problems as opportunities and thinking beyond the 'normal' digital channels, we have the opportunity to break away from the status quo and generate superior results.

In recent years, the role of mental health in the overall wellbeing of our communities has become a focus of organizations around the world. Based on data from the World Health Organization, depression is one of the leading causes of disability. Suicide is now the second-leading cause of death among 15- to 29-year-olds. People with severe mental health conditions die prematurely. And, with the recent COVID-19 pandemic, isolation, depression, and related issues are at an all-time high.
With such great need, demand for mental health professionals is projected to continue to grow both now and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Estimates suggest that there will be a shortage of 45,000–250,000 mental health providers in the United States alone by 2025.
In addition, many are reconsidering the role of work in their own lives. The “Great Resignation” in the United States saw a record 4.53 million workers quit their jobs in March 2022, beating the previous series high of 4.51 million in November 2021, according to the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) released by the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics. More than 44% of Americans also plan to quit their jobs for new employment in March 2022. There are few careers as fulfilling and meaningful as that of a professional counselor.

I'm not sure exactly why, but these cards weren't sure I did that particularly well.
I used Core'dinations cardstock to make it interesting without overpowering the paper.
The sentiment was a hassle but it was something i had been meaning to
try. I used the current Whole Lot of Lovely Hostess Set. I wanted to
emboss only the word part of the sentiment in gold, while colouring the
rest with markers.
I'm not sure I could have done it without MISTI since the markers leave a lighter impression and require repeated colouring and stamping in the same spot. This was something I wasn't even going to attempt with the stamp-a-ma-jig.
We got there in the end and despite leaving it to dry and generously rubbing down with the embossing buddy, I still got gold powder particles over the rest of the sentiment, but not too severely. I must admit I do sort of like that look!
The way to emboss only the text was to use a versamark pen but I had hoped it would be more juicy.
Lastly, some crochet trim, pearl and a gold doily to finish.

Many of us have experienced the frustration and anxiety of encountering a laptop screen frozen during an important project or task. This inconvenient situation affects both novices and those familiar with technology, leaving us searching for a solution.
We aim to bring attention to the frustrating problem of a frozen screen on laptop. Additionally we’ll equip you with the essential information to address it directly. By comprehending the root causes and having a range of possible solutions, you can swiftly overcome this disruptive setback. Let’s dive into the issue’s core and empower you with the knowledge about the solution.
Why is my laptop frozen?
Encountering a laptop screen frozen can be an exhausting experience. What’s crucial to recognize is that there can be many reasons for a frozen screen on a laptop. Typically, we can categorize these causes into two main groups: software-related issues and hardware-related issues.
Unresponsive Applications: A frequent software-related factor that can result in a screen freeze is the existence of unresponsive applications. When an application becomes unresponsive, it can burden system resources and cause the screen to freeze.
System Crashes: Software conflicts, incompatible drivers, or corrupted system files frequently trigger crashes, causing a frozen screen. The entire system can become unresponsive when the core operating system fails.
Malware: Viruses and malware that can cause disruptions, such as a frozen screen. These unwanted programs interfere with the normal operation of your laptop.
Overheating: Overheating is a common hardware-related issue leading to a frozen screen. When a laptop’s internal parts get too hot, it can trigger protection mechanisms that cause the system to become unresponsive to prevent possible damage.
Faulty Components: A frozen screen can also occur due to hardware failures such as a malfunctioning hard drive, faulty RAM, or a defective graphics card. Diagnosing these problems necessitates hardware diagnostics and, if needed, replacing the faulty components.
Loose Connections: Occasionally, inadequate internal connections like those between the RAM and motherboard can freeze the screen. Ensuring proper connectivity of all internal components is crucial to avoid this issue.
Identifying whether the cause of a frozen screen is software or hardware-related is the crucial first step to finding a solution. Once you determine the root cause, you can take appropriate actions to resolve the issue and restore your laptop’s normal functionality.
Quick Fixes for a Frozen Laptop Screen
Dealing with a frozen laptop screen can be frustrating, but you can try various simple methods before diving into more intricate solutions. These immediate steps can assist you in regaining control of your system and avoiding the risk of data loss or hardware harm.
Restart the Computer
If the issue continues, try restarting your laptop. You can accomplish this by accessing the Start menu or pressing the power button. A fresh restart can often fix software-related problems that result in a frozen screen.
When your laptop screen freezes, a practical first step is to utilize keyboard shortcuts. On Windows systems, try pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete simultaneously.
This will open the Task Manager, allowing you to force-quit unresponsive applications or restart the computer. On Mac systems, use Option + Command + Esc to open the “Force Quit Applications” window.
If the frozen screen is due to an unresponsive application, utilize the Task Manager (Windows) or Force Quit (Mac) to close the problematic program. This can often release the system from its frozen state. Ensure that you’re not forcefully closing critical system processes
Disconnect External Devices
Sometimes, a frozen screen can be caused by external devices like printers, hard drives, or USB peripherals. To troubleshoot, try disconnecting any non-essential external devices and rebooting your laptop. This can help determine if any of these peripherals are the source of the problem.
By implementing these easy solutions, you can often regain command of your laptop and proceed with your tasks. Nevertheless, if the issue persists or becomes recurrent, exploring more comprehensive software and hardware remedies might be crucial to avoid future instances of a frozen laptop screen.
Screen is Frozen on Laptop - Preventing steps
Experiencing a frozen laptop screen can be highly inconvenient, but there are measures you can implement to reduce the likelihood of encountering this exasperating problem. By engaging in proactive maintenance and adopting secure computing practices, you can ensure the seamless performance of your laptop and avoid screen freezes.
Regular Software Updates
It is important to ensure that your operating system, drivers, and software are always up to date. Manufacturers frequently release updates that handle bugs and vulnerabilities, thereby minimizing the occurrence of screen freezes. In order to maintain protection and security, it is advisable to configure your laptop to automatically install updates.
Maintaining Adequate Free Storage Space
Ensure you have enough storage space on your laptop’s hard drive or solid-state drive. Insufficient storage can cause performance problems and screen freezes. Delete unnecessary files and apps regularly to free up space.
Practicing Safe Browsing Habits
Practicing safe browsing can prevent malware from infecting your system. Avoid downloading files from untrusted sources clicking on suspicious links, and use reputable antivirus and anti-malware software to protect your laptop.
Keeping the Laptop Clean
Dust and debris can accumulate in your laptop, blocking airflow and causing overheating. Keep your device clean by regularly cleaning the vents and internal components. If you’re not confident in doing it yourself, consider professional cleaning.
Implementing these preventive measures can greatly decrease the chances of experiencing a frozen laptop screen and enhance your computer usage’s overall reliability and smoothness. Keep in mind that consistently maintaining and practicing safe habits are crucial for ensuring your laptop performs at its best.
Backup and Data Recovery for Frozen Screen Laptop
Apart from addressing issues, being ready for unforeseen circumstances is crucial. It emphasizes the critical significance of routinely backing up your data. Your data is invaluable, and protecting it is of utmost importance. Consistent backups guarantee that your valuable files and documents stay secure and retrievable even during a frozen screen or other disasters.
Even if data loss happens despite your utmost efforts, don’t lose hope. There are ways to recover data; if you require professional help, you can trust PITS Global Data Recovery Services. With their specialized knowledge and cutting-edge tools, they have a successful history of aiding individuals and businesses in retrieving lost data, even in difficult situations.

@Planetmosh @AnybodyBC reviews ‘Renatus’ by @dynaztyband released via @SpinefarmINT
Scandinavians are undoubtedly a great influence in the rock and metal scene and when it comes to Sweden there are plenty of names that spring to your mind. Well, I would like to add another one, Dynazty. They are a heavy metal/hard rock team from Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Since 2008, the band has released three full-length albums and at the end of the March, 2014, they released their forth studio album, ‘Renatus‘. According the Dynazty, this album is new era for the band: their team has been joined by new bass player Jonathon Olsson and it is their first album to be released through Spinefarm records.
Let’s take a look at the album cover. You can see the giant white-yellow egg, which is breaking from the inside. There are 16 hands reaching out for freedom from the inside of the egg. Each hand has the name written on it: Resistance, Change, New World, Cross the Line, Rebellion and so on. That greatly reflects the themes of the album. Nevertheless, the album title ‘Renatus’ means ‘born again’ in Latin language, so it is more or less all about new stage of human life and world order.
Now take a look to the content beneath the album cover and title. If you are heavy metal/ power metal fan, who likes beautifully constructed melodic metal with confident clean vocal – this album is for you, because it sounds just like that. It does not annoy listener with too long guitar solos or unnecessary falsettos, which would damage your sensitive ears.
‘Renatus’ consists of 10 songs, and offers 45 minutes of constant and continuous great quality music. It starts with ‘Cross the Line’, which from slower rhythm tempo grows to faster and memorable chorus and continues with heavier and more complex riffs in ‘Starlight’. The rhythm and tempo changes during the whole album, usually growing faster for choruses, when you might want to start sing along with Nils Molin. ‘The Northern End’ – the forth track in ‘Renatus’ is the song, you might call the anthem of this set or even the representation if the whole new era of Dynazty. With exceptional melody and energy, it creates and sums up whole album atmosphere and its high spirits. You might wanna march or just proudly stand on the top of the hill during this song. After ‘The Northern End’ follows six more marches conclude with ‘A Divine Comedy’, which reveals the beauty of solid Nils Molin voice and a lovely guitar tone. When I listened to this song, it made me think about Italian Dante and his Divina Commedia, which happened to be one of the greatest works world literature. If Dynazty is heading the same way, it is up to them to decide, but ‘Renatus’ is definitely a great step further on their trip to the heavy metal temple.
Reviewer’s pick of the album: ‘The Northern End’.
‘Renatus’ by Dynazty released via Spinefarm records on 31st of March, 2014.

"The secret to living well and longer is: eat half, walk double, laugh triple and love without measure." - Tibetan Proverb
Make sure you go into deep intact nature as often as possible, for s longe as possible.
To quiet your mind, find your inner self, start to understand complexity of nature (better) and learn how everything simply circulates and flows perfectly if/when not interrupted.
Of all the paths you take in life, make sure at least one half of them are dirty, raw, untouched, never walked before. Literally and metaphorically. Because that's where our creative mind is giving birth to the most innovative ideas and learns to listen our inner voice, our gut feeling, our intuition or simply what is the right next step or next thing to do or to let go. It is in the silence that we hear our inner voice. It shouts but is too often ignored or overflowed by daily life routine.

Insurance Coverage for Transgender Surgery
The insurance landscape for transgender surgery is changing fast. If you perform Internet searches on related keywords, you’ll find articles about states beginning to require companies to cover surgery, news on Medicare benefits for transgender individuals and much more. Even one of the country’s largest insurance companies, Aetna, states that it considers top surgery to be medically necessary when a few conditions are met.
Nevertheless, we don’t necessarily believe you’ll have an easy time securing insurance benefits for FTM or MTF top surgery. We are familiar with most of the obstacles, from general discrimination to some companies’ stance that a transgender individual should desire genital surgery in order to be covered for anything else.
In case you’re just getting started researching insurance coverage for transsexual surgery, here are some basics.
Materials to Gather
Before you attempt to secure coverage from your insurance company for male to female or female to male surgery, here are some items that can be helpful or necessary in making the case.
- A statement of support from a health care professional. Do get a letter or other document from your primary care physician, endocrinologist or other qualified medical doctor if at all possible. If they have prescribed hormones or other measures related to your transition, make sure there’s documentation.
- A letter of referral from a mental healthcare provider—this is probably a “must.” It should state that you have persistent “gender dysphoria” meaning that you identify consistently as the gender opposite that of your birth.
- Any other supporting material you can think of. If you have changed your name and been employed under your new name and identity, for instance, evidence to that effect may help.
Resources You Can Check Out
Perhaps the best advice we can give about preparing to engage with your insurance company is to spend some time reading what transgender advocacy groups have to say. Here are just a few good resources we have found online.
- WPATH, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, has a website full of information. If you haven’t already done so, you might consider bookmarking it. Be sure to check out the organization’s Statement of Medical Necessity. This piece outlines very clearly the role of transgender surgery in helping MTF and FTM citizens lead healthy, productive lives.
- The Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund, or TLDEF, has another website you should know about. This group works for transgender equal rights on a variety of fronts, including advocating for healthcare benefits.
- The Human Rights Campaign, a group that works on LGBT rights in a broad sense, has a web page offering a variety of relevant information for transgender people, from its Corporate Equality Index to Maps of State Laws and Policies. Find the HRC’s overview page here.
How We Can Help
We can’t accept insurance as payment for transgender surgery in New York, in fact, we don’t accept insurance coverage for any plastic surgery procedure. We are like most plastic surgery practices in this regard. One leading reason is that few typical patients are successful in convincing their carriers to help pay for what are mainly considered “cosmetic” procedures.
Ironically, as a transgender individual you may have a better chance of securing benefits than most of our other patients. Since the country is gradually coming around to understanding that MFT and FTM surgery can be medically necessary for many, insurance companies are starting to change their policies.
We absolutely do want to help as much as we can. First, when you’re ready to come in for a consultation, we can document our findings and create a surgical plan that meets your needs. This may help you in discussions with your insurance company. If you haven’t spoken with your carrier yet, we can work with you on your strategy.
Second, we will be very pleased to submit a claim for you after surgery. Our staff has been doing this for years, and we’re adept at submitting complete and persuasive claims. If you are denied coverage, we can talk with you about appealing the decision.
Call us at 212-570-6080 or contact us online to begin. No matter where you stand in thinking about surgery, we’re sure a discussion will assist you. We look forward to talking with you!

You can build an online platform with only one piece of weekly content
Mar 23, 2022One of the biggest struggles that message-based entrepreneurs face is consistently creating content in a timely way. Many of us have minds and hearts that function like artists. We write and record when inspiration strikes. Sometimes that's first thing in the morning and sometimes it's in the middle of the night when we really should be sleeping.
In my observation, consistent content creation is one of the keys to success in developing a message-based platform. People who commit to a system and schedule for producing content tend to experience more success and develop more momentum than those who don't.
If this is a struggle for you, let me suggest a few things that are working for me. I hope they will help you as well or at least inspire an idea that you might find helpful.
Here's what I'm committed to create each week...
I'm producing content for two platforms. My faith-based platform at DesireJesus.com includes; a blog, three podcasts, a newsletter, book, and periodic webinars. My business platform at PlatformLaunchers.com includes a blog, a podcast, weekly training events, and a newsletter. The approach I'm taking to create content for each platform is very similar, and because my workflow is as developed as it is, I'm confident I could launch, grow, and develop two or three additional platforms as well.
1. When do you get a rush of creative energy?
I tend to be most creative during the margins of the day. I have found that I produce my best writing either in the mornings or in the evenings. That may be because those are the times when people are least likely to disturb me or interrupt creative thinking. Quite frequently, I will create new content right after I wake up or right before I go to sleep.
2. When are you more likely to work on non-creative tasks?
During the mid-afternoon hours, I don't typically feel like being creative so I frequently use that time to work on tasks that don't require creative thought. That's the perfect time for me to make technical updates to my website, plan my schedule, answer emails, etc.
3. Have you created an accountability structure for yourself?
The nature of my platforms have trained my audience to expect content at specific times. Two podcasts are released daily. Two are released weekly. My blogs update weekly as well, as do my newsletters. If I skip any one of these obligations, I will disappoint my listeners and readers, and will probably receive emails asking me why my podcasts or blogs haven't updated.
4. What is the main piece of content you need to create each week that the other branches can grow off of?
As complicated as platform development sounds to some people, for me, all it really requires is one new blog post for each platform, per week. That blog post is my core content that I will convert into a newsletter, podcasts, live training, videos, book chapters, and more.
If you're struggling to gain traction on your platform, you might be making things a little too complicated for yourself. What if I told you that you only need to write a one page blog post (500 words) each week. Does that sound impossible to you? You can do a million things with that single piece of content. And if you keep producing content like that every single week for years and years, you'll probably wake up one day and realize that you can feed your family and pay your bills with the income you're able to earn from your intellectual property.
My content creation schedule looks like this...
So to wrap this up, here's what my content creation schedule looks like. It all starts with what I write on Friday.
Friday - Write out the content of my weekly sermon.
Sunday - Preach and record sermon. Edit written content to create a blog post for DesireJesus.com. Edit audio to create a podcast. Copy and paste first three paragraphs of blog post into weekly newsletter and schedule it to be delivered on Tuesday. Post links to the blog post on social media.
Tuesday - Write blog post for PlatformLaunchers.com. Create presentation slides and teach on that subject for live training call. Post blog content. Edit video of membership call and post it in the training vault. Edit audio and share to podcast. Share first three paragraphs of blog post in weekly newsletter. Schedule newsletter to be delivered on Wednesday. Share blog post on social media.
Daily - Prepare the following day's podcast episodes for two daily shows. These can be pre-recorded, and my favorite time to record is around 10:30pm when my house is quiet.
Having a schedule like this helps me to produce a lot of weekly content. The fact that it doesn't feel like work to me helps me to stick with it over the course of the long haul. For many years, this has been my weekly routine, and if you can create a routine that works for you along with one piece of signature content that gets produced each week, I'm convinced you can build a successful online platform that serves people and blesses many lives.

Therefore, the piano’s key action mechanism is essential, and you should consider it more.
Most digital pianos have 88 keys compared to others which have lesser number of keys. The larger number of keys helps to give you better and classical music. A good example of a piano with multiple keys is the YAMAHA P125.
This is an essential element to consider and pay more attention to it. Therefore, you need to look at the internal sound library and the speaker system. The speakers must be of high-quality and also ensure that they are audible enough to cater to your various needs.

Other features that are in digital pianos include MIDI connectivity that allows you to connect your instrument to Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and record yourself while playing.

Airdrie flu shots for groups
Polaris Travel Clinic and Pharmacy will set up a FREE flu clinic for your organization to help increase access to flu shots this fall. Save time and avoid waiting in line.
Starting this year, Alberta Health will allow non-government organizations to set up mobile flu clinics for community groups. Polaris Travel Clinic and Pharmacy opened in early 2013 and has a special interest in vaccines, whether they are related to travelling overseas or for public health. We are pleased to have the opportunity to get into the community with this innovative program.
In order to provide the flu shot, the recipient must have a valid Alberta Health Care number. We are not able to vaccinate children under 9 years old. Only public health nurses or approved physician offices can administer flu shots for children under 9 years old. We will have the flu shot in both the traditional injectable form and in the nasal spray for children 9 to 17 years and adults under 60 who are needle-phobic.
We are booking times starting in late October. For more information, call us at 403-980-TRIP (8747) or fill out the information below: | <urn:uuid:84a169bf-6efd-442b-ae14-4f7871fe9a1c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.polaristravelclinic.ca/flu-groups/ | 2024-04-17T09:18:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.932844 | 235 |
I would like to contribute
During the vice presidential debate in Danville, Ky., Joe Biden attacked the Republican ticket’s proposal for Medicare.
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, Biden said, would "eliminate the guarantee of Medicare."
We tackled this point when President Barack Obama made a similar point in September. We asked: Are there "guaranteed benefits" for Medicare today? And if so, would they be at risk if Romney wins? A lot of it depends on how you define these words.
What guarantees exist under Medicare today?
Probably the clearest -- and least controversial -- explanation of how Medicare is a guarantee is that once you turn 65, you get Medicare, no questions asked.
That wasn’t always the case. Before Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965, health coverage for seniors was far from guaranteed. When people retired, they often lost coverage they had from their former employer and couldn’t afford a new plan. (For more on the pre-Medicare era, including statistics, see our article, "Were the early 1960s a golden age for health care?")
The Obama campaign goes further. It argues that "guaranteed benefits" refers to "all the benefits that Medicare is required to cover." Today, Medicare is structured as a defined-benefit plan rather than a defined-contribution plan. That means it specifies the benefits provided, rather than letting one’s benefits depend on the amount of money they paid into the system.
"As a system of defined benefits, Medicare does guarantee those benefits," said Paul Starr, a specialist on health care reform at Princeton University. "The government has a responsibility for them that it would not have in a defined-contribution scheme. There are a host of legal rights in regard to providers that are also associated with those guaranteed benefits. All that goes away with the shift to defined contribution."
Is there a guarantee of benefits?
No, Medicare benefits aren’t guaranteed in every sense.
First, while the federal government guarantees that you will be served by Medicare once you turn 65, it doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get every possible service or treatment paid for. Indeed, an entire industry sector -- Medigap insurance plans-- has emerged to pay for the procedures that Medicare doesn’t cover. This is particularly true for the coverage for newly emergent technologies and treatments.
And just because something is covered today doesn’t mean it will be covered indefinitely, or at the same percentage of the cost.
Congress and the president can -- and do -- change the benefit rules for Medicare. In 1988, for example, Congress enacted the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act, adding a bevy of benefits, including a prescription drug benefit and a catastrophic-care benefit, said Robert Moffit, a health care specialist at the conservative Heritage Foundation. The following year, Congress repealed it.
Obama’s own health care law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, doesn’t maintain the status quo indefinitely. While we have previously said that the Romney campaign is exaggerating when it criticizes Obama for cutting Medicare, the Romney campaign isn’t wrong that changes are going to be made. The fact that Obama would reduce Medicare reimbursement to certain Medicare providers -- likely resulting in the elimination or reduction of some benefits -- is proof positive that Medicare is not a fixed, unchangeable program.
Obama’s law also creates the Independent Payment Advisory Board, a 15-member, appointed panel that is charged with identifying Medicare savings. While PolitiFact has in the past been critical of Republican exaggerations about what the board would do, the board could force certain changes in the Medicare program. Any such future changes would undermine the notion that Medicare has "guaranteed benefits."
"If you are promised a benefit but find trouble accessing physicians or home care or long-term-care providers to provide that service, have your benefits been changed or compromised?" said Gail Wilensky, a former health care official under President George H.W. Bush. "I think a reasonable person could say yes."
Another important factor that could infringe on any Medicare "guarantee" is the program’s fiscal challenges.
According to Medicare’s actuary, the trust fund for Medicare Part A -- the part of the program that pays for hospital care -- will run out in 2024 if the Obama law’s cuts remain on the books, or in 2016 if the cuts are rescinded (the course Romney has said he wants to follow). So unless something is done to change the program’s fiscal balance, Medicare would spend down its reserves for hospital payments within eight to 16 years.
"If you define guarantee benefit as simply receiving a Medicare card, then that only lasts until the money runs out," said Joshua Archambault, a former Romney aide who is now a health care policy specialist at the free-market Pioneer Institute. "So I guess the president can make that claim until 2016 … but then he loses it."
Even health care experts who are supportive of Obama’s law do acknowledge that the concept of a Medicare "guarantee" may be too strongly worded.
"So long as the law is in place, people who meet specified eligibility requirements are assured specified benefits," said Henry Aaron, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. Still, "nothing in the statutes is ‘guaranteed,’ because Congress always has the option of changing the law."
Jonathan Gruber, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor who has advised both Obama and Romney on health care reform, agreed. "Under today's system, you have a guaranteed benefit, but one that is subject to political risk," he said.
How Romney would change Medicare
As for Romney’s plan, it’s important to note that it has not been been set out in full detail, and it hasn’t been analyzed by the Congressional Budget Office. But we’ll explain it as best we can.
Romney has said his plan would be close to the most recent one offered by his running mate, Paul Ryan. For people who are now under age 55, Medicare would no longer pay for seniors’ health care bills directly. Instead, the government would offer future beneficiaries fixed payments -- voucher-like credits -- that could go toward private plans. Beneficiaries could use those credits to select a traditional Medicare plan or a private plan from a competitive marketplace, or exchange, that complies with standards set by the government. The amount a beneficiary receives would be based on the second least-expensive plan available.
We know that the Romney plan, like the status quo, would preserve the guarantee that people will start receiving coverage under a federal health care program when they turn 65. (The age threshold would gradually rise to 67 by 2034.)
Less clear is whether the operational changes Romney would make would undermine the guarantee of benefits under Medicare. The Romney campaign argues that not only would be traditional Medicare be a choice, but that private plan offerings must provide coverage at least comparable to what Medicare provides today, and that those plans would be Medicare-approved.
However, since CBO hasn’t weighed in, we don’t know whether the premium subsidy would be able to cover the same set of benefits as traditional Medicare, or how much it would add to out-of-pocket costs to beneficiaries, especially over the longer term.
The Obama campaign argues that "Romney has said that under his voucher system, plans have to offer coverage that is ‘comparable’ to Medicare today" -- a term they believe falls short of a guarantee of specific benefits.
But Yuval Levin, a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and a domestic policy staffer on health-care issues for President George W. Bush, says that’s a smokescreen. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services "establishes the benefits covered by Medicare each year, and the private insurers in Medicare Advantage and Part D, the drug benefit, are required to cover at least that minimum benefit or its actuarial equivalent. That's exactly the Romney proposal."
Under the most recent plan, Levin said, "seniors are guaranteed at least one and generally two options that provide comprehensive coverage for no greater out-of-pocket costs than they have now."
Levin also disputes the notion that the Romney plan is a pure defined-contribution plan. "The Romney approach is a hybrid of defined benefit and defined contribution," he said. "The minimum benefit is set by the government, and all competing insurers must meet it, but the government payment is determined by competitive bidding among those insurers to see how cheaply they can provide at least that minimum benefit."
The most recent Republican plans have lessened the likelihood that Medicare’s payment will fall behind the actual rise in health care costs, experts say, but given the limited details, there’s still some uncertainty on this front.
Under the Romney plan, MIT’s Gruber said, you have the same political risk of a broken guarantee as you have today, but that guarantee is compounded by health spending risk. "As health spending rises faster than your voucher, you are in trouble," he said.
Biden said that Romney and Ryan would "eliminate the guarantee of Medicare."
Calling today’s Medicare benefits "guaranteed" is partially, but not entirely, true. Currently, Medicare does guarantee broad health coverage for seniors and, in the short term, guarantees specific benefits. But Medicare doesn’t cover everything, and Congress and the president can change what is covered -- and will be forced to do so when fiscal pressures hit.
Meanwhile, it’s plausible that the Romney plan could provide less of a "guarantee" than Medicare currently does, but we found sharp disagreement between supporters and opponents of Romney’s Medicare plan on that point. This disagreement is hard to resolve given the shortage of information Romney has so far provided.
On balance, we rate the claim Half True.

-Why hydrogen cars are not the answer
Imagine an electric car which has a range of 400 miles, can be refuelled almost as fast as a petrol or diesel car yet emits only water. Those are the upsides of a hydrogen fuel cell car (known as a fuel cell electric vehicle, or FCEV). So why aren’t they everywhere?
There is a dedicated core of FCEV supporters who insist that hydrogen-powered EVs are better than battery-powered EVs, and that the world is crazy for ignoring them. Unfortunately, a hydrogen fuel cell offers few advantages over a battery, with several deal-breaking disadvantages. Recyclable-Compostable-Plastic

-Archroma starts the FiberColors* revolution
Pratteln, Switzerland, 26 January 2023 – With the Earth population reaching 8 billion in November 2022, the need to address the issue of textile waste becomes more critical.
According to earth.org, 92 million tons of textile waste is produced every year, a number that is expected to soar to 134 million tons by the end of the decade. Around 85% of all textiles discarded in the US are said to end up in landfills, leading to land and water pollution impacting first and foremost local communities.
-EU trade with Russia declined strongly
EU trade with Russia has been strongly affected following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with the EU imposing import and export restrictions on several products. The effects of these measures have been particularly visible in the latest months.
Considering seasonally adjusted values, both exports and imports dropped considerably below the levels prior to Russia’s invasion. Russia’s share in extra-EU imports fell from 6.4% to 3.8% between February 2022 and September 2022. Over the same period, extra-EU exports to Russia dropped from 2.3% to 1.1%. The EU’s trade deficit with Russia, peaked in March 2022 at €19.6 billion. It then progressively decreased and in September 2022 stood at €9.7 billion.. Recyclable-Compostable-Plastic
When looking at Russia’s share in extra-EU imports for six key products, a strong decline is visible for coal, natural gas, petroleum oil, fertilisers, and iron & steel, while for nickel the share increased slightly. In particular, the highest drops have been recorded for coal (from 45% in 2021 to 13% in the third quarter of 2022), natural gas (from 36 % to 18 %), fertilisers (from 29% to 17%) and iron & steel (from 16% to 5%).
-Dow is cutting about 2,000 jobs, or 5% of workforce
Materials science company Dow is cutting about 2,000 jobs, or approximately 5% of its global workforce, as part of an effort to reach $1 billion in cost savings this year.
The Midland, Michigan-based company currently employs approximately 37,800 people.
Dow Inc. will take a charge of $550 million to $725 million in the first quarter. This mostly includes severance and related benefit costs; costs related to exit and disposal activities and asset write-downs and write-offs. Dow did not provide specifics but said it would evaluate assets with a focus on Europe. Recyclable-Compostable-Plastic
The company also reported a fourth-quarter profit of $613 million, or 85 cents per share. Its adjusted profit was 46 cents per share, below the 57 cents per share that analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research were calling for.
Revenue totaled $11.86 billion, missing Wall Street’s estimate of $12.03 billion.
“In the fourth quarter, Team Dow continued to proactively navigate slowing global growth, challenging energy markets, and destocking,” Jim Fitterling, chairman and CEO, said in a statement. “In response, we shifted our focus to cash generation in the quarter as we lowered operating rates, implemented cost-savings measures, and prioritized higher-value products where demand remained resilient.

-Easily Recyclable and Compostable – A New Plastic With Excellent Mechanical Stability
Researchers at the University of Konstanz have developed a new plastic that is highly stable, biodegradable, and readily recyclable.
How can plastics be designed so that they maintain their useful properties while also being more easily recyclable? Chemist Stefan Mecking and his research group at the University of Konstanz are focused on studying eco-friendly solutions for plastics. In their recent paper in the international edition of Angewandte Chemie, the team introduces a new polyester that exhibits material properties that are suitable for industrial use and environmentally responsible. Recyclable-Compostable-Plastic
Normally hardly compatible
Plastics are made of long chains of one or several chemical basic modules, so-called monomers. Plastics distinguished by high crystallinity and water repellency, therefore mechanically highly resilient and stable, are widely used. A well-known example is high-density polyethylene (HDPE), whose basic modules consist of non-polar hydrocarbon molecules. What may on the one side be advantageous properties for applications can also have adverse effects: It is very energy intensive and inefficient to recycle such plastics and recover the basic modules. Also, if such plastics leak into the environment, the degradation process is extremely long. | <urn:uuid:6e2c5c42-4ad0-4dff-bc85-e906e1c3b8f5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.polyestertime.com/recyclable-compostable-plastic/ | 2024-04-17T09:10:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.947301 | 1,541 |

-Polyolefin prices up sharply on higher monomer costs
Standard thermoplastic moved higher because of rising feedstock costs during the first two weeks of February.
PE prices increased by €60-80/tonne, which was slightly less than the €85/tonne rise in the ethylene reference price. PP prices matched the €80/tonne rise of for the propylene reference price.
PVC prices increased €20-30/tonne at the start of February after nine months of price declines. PS prices edged slightly higher during the first half of February after the styrene monomer reference price increased by €10/tonne. rPET bottle – Green hydrogen
In January, standard thermoplastic classes, with the exception of polystyrene, saw a steep price reduction because of falling feedstock costs and weak demand.
Polystyrene prices bucked the downward price trend after steep cost increases for precursors benzene and styrene monomer of €145/tonne and €115/tonne, respectively. As a result, polystyrene prices gained €100/tonne.
L/LDPE prices fell by €70-80/tonne, which was less than the €95/tonne reduction in the cost of ethylene, largely because of energy cost pass-through. HDPE blow moulding and blown film prices fell €70/tonne whereas injection moulding prices fell only by €60/tonne, due largely to higher demand.
PP prices fell €70-80/tonne against a decline of €95/tonne for the propylene reference price. Producers cited higher energy costs as a reason for restricting price discounts to below the cost reduction. rPET bottle – Green hydrogen
PVC prices remained under pressure from lower costs, weak demand and imports at the start of the new year. Base PVC prices fell by €100/tonne, well in excess of the proportionate impact of lower ethylene prices on the PVC cost base.
PET prices fell by a further €80/tonne last month because of weak demand and competitively-priced Chinese imports. There was also growing concern from processors over the lack of clarity and delayed settlement of the paraxylene reference price. There were signs that European PET prices were stabilising early February because of more expensive import prices and higher demand. rPET bottle – Green hydrogen

Mother of 15-year-old killed by Oklahoma police plans to sue
Mike Seals - December 14, 2020 11:02 pm
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The mother of a 15-year-old boy who was shot and killed by Oklahoma City police last month filed paperwork Monday indicating she intends to sue the city over the killing.
Attorney Rand Eddy said a tort claim notice filed on behalf of Cameo Holland is the first step before a lawsuit is filed. The tort claim seeks $175,000 in compensation for Holland.
Holland’s son, Stavian Rodriguez, was shot and killed by police on Nov. 23 after an attempted armed robbery of a gas station on the city’s south side. During the robbery attempt, the store clerk fled the store and locked Rodriguez inside, according to police Sgt. Gary Knight. After police surrounded the store, Rodriguez climbed out a drive-through window holding a pistol, Knight said.
Knight said five officers fired their guns at Rodriguez and one fired pepper balls at him. All six were placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation, which is standard in officer-involved shootings. Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater will review the investigation to determine if the shooting was a legal use of deadly force.
“Members of the City of Oklahoma City Police Department were negligent, while acting within the course and scope of their employment, in fatally shooting Stavian,” Eddy wrote.
A spokeswoman for the city declined to comment on pending litigation.
The city has not yet released body-worn camera video from officers involved in the shooting. | <urn:uuid:404c794f-8367-4e20-aad7-07bcc17db225> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.poncacitynow.com/mother-of-15-year-old-killed-by-oklahoma-police-plans-to-sue/ | 2024-04-17T09:29:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.971272 | 336 |

The Laboratori de la Neu is a joint project between the Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (ICMAB-CSIC), Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC) and the company TechnoAlpin, leader in technology snowing It also has the financial support of the Next Generation EU funds, granted by the Agencia Estatal de Investigación.
The main objective of this pioneering project in the world is to study the application of a new technology to produce snow in a more sustainable way, with less time, using less water and with less energy. Successfully developed in the laboratory by Dr. Albert Verdaguer, head scientist of the CSIC at the ICMAB, and the TechnoAlpin team by applying the latest production techniques with technologically innovative equipment, the tests will now be transferred to FGC Tourism stations in real conditions and environments.
The improvement that the Laboratori de la Neu incorporates is that it simulates the natural process of water mineralization and reproduces it on a small scale, unlike the technology applied so far, which exclusively uses water as a raw material to create snow. Thus, through mineralization, a nucleus is obtained that facilitates the formation of the snow volva more quickly, with more consistency and at a lower temperature. And the fact is that in the atmosphere there are not only drops of water, but also particles in suspension (of sea salt, minerals, pollen...) on which water condenses to give rise to clouds and snowfalls The Laboratory uses minerals from the feldspar group, which are harmless to the environment and are an abundant natural resource on Earth. They are also one of the main particles in the atmosphere, which interact with clouds and induce precipitation, so they do not chemically alter the composition of water.
The project will study the use of the new technology in all possible real-world situations to determine its feasibility and benefits in terms of energy, water and snowmaking capacity savings, and has been designed to obtain the maximum universal results, with tests in different locations.
The aim is to obtain a technology that can be used at any ski resort, both in Spain and abroad.
Test at the FGC mountain stations
The snow management system implemented by FGC Turisme generates a closed cycle from the lakes where water from rain or thaw in the same area is stored. Therefore, the stations are an example of a circular water economy.
From the water stored in the resorts' ponds, snow is produced that spreads on the slopes during the winter and with the arrival of spring, this same snow melts and enters the stream that feeds at the nearest station pool. therefore, it returns to its origin. And the cycle begins again: once the cold comes, this water will return to the track in the form of snow. In this way, it can be stated that the snow produced is a form of cultivated natural snow integrated into the water cycle. In short, water is not consumed, but is used to change its state (from liquid to solid). The consumption is solely of energy, which in the case of FGC is green energy guaranteed in its entirety.
The study has been tested and developed in laboratories to guarantee its effectiveness and efficiency in the production of snow in ski resorts. After the success achieved, the project now enters a crucial phase of large-scale testing in the ski resorts of FGC Turisme. A promising future opens up for ski resorts, showing a shared commitment to innovation and sustainability in a changing context.
FGC, with its vast experience in snowmaking and ski slope facilities, will lead the efforts to determine the feasibility and benefits of this new technology in real environments and in terms of energy, water and innivation capacity. The tests will be carried out in areas closed to the public, guaranteeing the safety of the usual facilities. It is planned to start at the stations of La Molina and Boí Taüll during the winter season 2023/2024, and to gradually implement it in the rest of the mountain stations during the next three years.
The Laboratori de la Neu is part of FGC's 2030 Climate Action Plan
FGC Turisme's Climate Action Plan includes the objective of reducing water and energy consumption in snow production. This commitment was made concrete with the definition of a unique and transversal policy in 2021. This plan defines the strategy and the actions to be carried out in the 2030 horizon with the aim of reducing energy consumption by 50% and drive research to produce more snow with less energy and water expenditure.
FGC Turisme's mountain resorts are an example of a circular water economy with a water management system, with the provision of concessions and storage in rafts for use in snowmaking.
The production of snow follows a protocol and a fairly simple production. There is no element that alters the composition of the water. Only a change of state is made from liquid to solid (water transformed into ice) or from solid to liquid (ice transformed into liquid) without altering the properties of water. In this sense, physical-chemical analyzes of this water are carried out before and after it passes through the cannons, which show that its composition remains unchanged.
In the case of FGC stations, snow production has no impact on rivers and lakes. The water that comes out of the snow blowers is not obtained directly from any stream, it is always water previously stored during the rainy season, especially during spring or autumn.
On the other hand, bioindicator analyzes are carried out upstream and downstream of the activity properly to verify the quality of the water, with a water quality result of good or very good.
Adaptation to climate change
With the uncertainty of snow patterns due to climate change, this new technology is presented as an innovative and sustainable response to maintain the continuity of ski resorts in a changing context. Mountain ski resorts are a common reality in the Pyrenees, they support demographics, facilitate the establishment and generate direct and indirect employment opportunities, acting as economic engines that add value to the territory.
In fact, the impact of the FGC mountain resorts on the Catalan economy is a total expenditure (management, investment and visitors) of 148 million euros (year 2022), generating 2,721 jobs and 49 million euros of fiscal impact.
The main challenge is, therefore, to reduce energy costs and expand the meteorological conditions so that snow can be produced optimally, in terms of adaptation to climate change. In addition, this new technology allows a lower consumption of water for the same amount of snow, since its formation process follows a logic more similar to the natural one, while increasing the resilience of mountain areas in the face of economic effects of climate change. | <urn:uuid:26319e1f-f31b-462f-9f59-693357b47b3f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.portaine.cat/en/winter/news/noticies/laboratori-de-la-neu-proposes-snowmaking-technology-unique-world/ | 2024-04-17T08:42:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.938862 | 1,393 |

Peter Byrom continues to share his faith journey as told in the chapter he contributed to Coming to Faith Through Dawkins. He discloses how challenging Richard Dawkins on why he wouldn’t debate William Lane Craig led to him becoming something of a YouTube sensation! Peter also shares why he believes apologetics is important and what the final nail in his atheist coffin was.

A man brought his wife to the UK from Bangladesh – then began to abuse her and take her money, a court has heard.
Abdul Malik, 55, helped himself to funds from his wife’s account, verbally abused and threatened her.
The abuse came to light after she revealed her situation to colleagues and the police were then called.
Malik admitted engaging in a course of behaviour that was abusive of his partner or ex-partner at Inverness Sheriff Court.
Fiscal depute Pauline Gair told the court that the offending began after Malik sponsored his wife to come to the UK in 2021.
‘Accused took money from her bank account leaving her short of money’
“Following their move to Scotland, the accused’s behaviour towards the complainer changed,” Mrs Gair explained.
“She began working in July 2021 and the accused took money from her bank account without her authorising this, leaving her short of money.”
The fiscal depute said that on one occasion Malik repeatedly shouted abuse at the woman before striking her body.
On another occasion, he struck her again, following an argument outside their workplace.
The court heard that Malik also phoned his wife when she was on the bus to work and threatened her with violence.
It was after this that the woman revealed to her colleagues what was happening and the police were contacted.
“The complainer has moved away from the area but is still supportive of a non-harassment order,” Mrs Gair told the court.
The relationship had ‘fractured’
Solicitor advocate Shahid Latif, defending Malik, said his client had spent around £10,000 to sponsor his wife’s move to the UK, and “part of the difficulty was trying to pay that money back”.
He said Mailk had helped the woman to get a job, register with a GP practice and get a bank account but that, following her arrival in the country, the relationship had “fractured”.
“Your lordship has heard the outcome of that fracture,” Mr Latif added.
Sheriff Ian Cruickshank deferred sentencing Malik, of Rosehaugh Road, Inverness, for the production of reports.
He said: “Any further views I have in relation to this course of abusive conduct will wait until I’ve heard further mitigation”.
Malik will reappear in the dock again in November.

Portland has officially opened its new Homeless Services Center in a move that will increase shelter capacity and is expected to transform the way the city and its partners respond to the needs of homeless people.
Plans for the new shelter have been in the works for years and it opens at a critical time, as Portland is struggling to keep up with an influx of asylum seekers that have added significantly to the homeless population.
The city hosted a grand opening and ribbon cutting for the facility Wednesday, though people aren’t expected to be spending the night there until early next week.
The center at 654 Riverside St. will have the capacity to house 208 people and will offer on-site wrap-around services including meals, healthcare and programs to help clients reenter the workforce and find transitional housing.
It replaces the Oxford Street Shelter, a converted apartment building and auto garage that houses 154 people.
“This is a milestone because now we can begin serving clients in a space that can actually meet their needs and will address people’s trauma and help them get back on their feet,” said Mayor Kate Snyder.
The city is currently providing shelter for about 1,100 people per night. Most of them are asylum seekers, including about 70% of those staying at Oxford Street and an even larger percentage at the family shelter on Chestnut Street.
More than 780 asylum seekers have arrived in Portland since Jan. 1.
BEDS, HEALTH CARE AND MEALS
The new shelter includes an on-site health clinic that will be run by Greater Portland Health and provide medical and dental services and substance use and mental health treatment, both to people at the shelter and in the community at large.
It also includes a bed for every guest, whereas most clients at Oxford Street Shelter sleep on mats on the floor.
Meals will be provided by the Preble Street Food Security Hub and the city is also working with other community partners, including Amistad and the Opportunity Alliance, to provide additional services including help reentering the workforce and finding transitional housing.
The shelter has a larger outdoor space, lockers for guests and will provide consistent space for people to go during the day, a service that has been difficult at Oxford Street due to a lack of space, said interim City Manager Danielle West.
The shelter is located in the Riverton neighborhood, on the outskirts of the city and about a 20-minute drive from downtown, but West said there will be a shuttle to transport people.
“One thing that will help is having services on site,” she said. “A lot of the need to go downtown may be alleviated because we will have medical care here, we’ll have the services from Amistad and others and food will be coming. Everything will be here, so that will be really helpful.”
She said the city has also established a neighborhood advisory committee to gather feedback on how the shelter is operating and address any concerns.
Kathy Buxton, a member of the executive board of the Riverton Neighborhood Association who serves on the advisory committee, said she is “cautiously optimistic” about the new shelter.
“The space is beautiful,” said Buxton. “The neighborhood has had the same concerns all along about safety and security, but I think there are some good plans in place and they want to be good partners with the neighborhood.”
Anya Caron, who stayed at Oxford Street last year for about six months, said she was pleasantly surprised after touring the new center, but remains concerned about the location.
“My only problem so far is that it’s away from downtown Portland,” where many people seek services and have appointments, Caron said.
She was among a handful of speakers featured at Wednesday’s opening and said she thinks the shuttle will help. “If there’s a shuttle then I have no problem with this place,” Caron said.
Outside the Oxford Street Shelter on Wednesday, Sean Franklin said some people are echoing worries about being far away from downtown.
“Once they get there and see the place and the surrounding area, their attitudes will change,” said Franklin, who is also a member of the advisory committee and has been staying at the shelter.
“It will be a good move,” he said. “It’s more space. Better services.”
Residents concerned that the new shelter would be too large were successful in getting a citizen-initiated referendum before voters in November 2021 that would have limited most new shelters to just 50 beds, but the measure was defeated.
Stephanie Neuts, who served as president of the Portlanders for Smaller Shelters group that initiated the referendum, said Wednesday that she remains disappointed by the shelter’s size.
Neuts said she had spoken to homeless people who wanted to see a smaller space, but she said she hopes that the new building is successful and was grateful that a medical clinic is included.
“I’m happy they’re trying to do something that will work for everyone and hope the plans they have to make this work for the neighborhood and those needing shelter will be successful,” Neuts said. “I think we wait and see and hope for the best for the community and those needing a place to call home until they get back on their feet.”
$24 MILLION PROJECT
Developers Collaborative founder Kevin Bunker said the project was originally estimated at $25 million but came in about $1 million under budget.
The city paid $6.5 million upfront for the building, using $3.5 million in city-allocated American Rescue Plan Act funding and $3 million from Cumberland County’s ARPA funding.
Developers Collaborative financed the remaining cost and will be leasing the building to the city with the option for the city to buy it for $1 after 25 years.
The city also leases the current Oxford Street Shelter building at 203 Oxford St., and city officials said Wednesday that it will be up to the owner to determine the future of that space.
Paperwork filed with the Portland Development Corporation last month by Tom Watson & Co., which is planning a major redevelopment in the Bayside neighborhood, calls for the demolition of the Oxford Street Shelter and its potential use as a construction staging area.
A spokesperson for the company did not respond to a phone message or email Wednesday afternoon seeking an update on plans for the shelter building but said last month that they were still being developed.

After having installed a first store in Ajaccio (Corsica, France), Pricer won the tender for 5 supermarkets to be installed immediately and the rest to be completed during the first quarter of 2009. The total value of order is over 10M SEK. Other supermarkets are expected to follow.
The group preferred the Pricer solution for the technical advantages of the system. “An E. Leclerc store changes on average 7 000 to 10 000 prices per week”, says Philippe Goas, Middle Europe Area Sales Manager at Pricer. “The customers needed a reliable ESL system with high communication speed. The Pricer system offered the most rapid platform on the market and the uniqueness of supporting two display technologies.”
“Indeed, another major reason for the Pricer win”, says Charles Jackson, Pricer’s CEO, “is the maturity and scalability of the DotMatrix™ solution. Our investments in this new display technology are getting the attention we expected.” Most stores have opted for a combination of Continuum segment-based ESLs and DotMatrix™ pixel-based ESLs in order to adapt to the needs of each store department.
The Corsican stores had the opportunity to see the Pricer system in operation at the recently installed E. Leclerc hypermarkets in Grézieu, Grasse and Saint Raphaël, in the south of France. “They were impressed by the operational benefits of the Pricer ESL solution”, says Philippe Goas, “and the positive impact on store design and store productivity.”
About E. Leclerc
E. Leclerc is a European food retailer based in France which operates approximately 580 hypermarkets of which 505 hypermarkets are in France, with the remainder in Spain, Italy, Portugal and Eastern Europe. The business is operated as a co-operative and is ranked 19th in international grocery retailers for 2007. Today, a total of approximately 78 stores are installed with Pricer system in France, Spain and Portugal. | <urn:uuid:c6d1f0c3-9e37-423e-b92a-ebad5a2fe560> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.pricer.com/press-release/a-new-group-of-e-leclerc-supermarkets-selects-pricer-esl | 2024-04-17T08:27:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.945124 | 422 |

Warby Parker Now Open in Westfield; Also Available Online
By Taylor Smith |Photos courtesy of @warbyparker
Trend setting eyeglass company Warby Parker is making its debut in the Garden State. Customers can now have fun trying on the company’s affordable and stylish frames at 126 Central Avenue in downtown Westfield. The bright, airy, and spacious store is adorned with book-centric murals designed by Keith Negly.
This location is an addition to Warby Parker storefront locations in New York City and Greenwich, Conn., and other recent New Jersey openings at the Garden State Plaza in Paramus and 538 Washington Street in Hoboken.
The largely e-commerce-based company offers eyeglass frames for all ages starting at just $95. No appointments are necessary. Customers can swing by anytime to try on frames, browse the full collection, and get styling help from advisers.
Before visiting the store, it is recommended that patrons bring their current prescription (if they want to buy prescription glasses). Measurements and adjustments for eyeglass orders can be completed in-store, along with returns and exchanges (there is a 30-day, hassle-free return or exchange policy whether or not the glasses were purchased in-store or online). Of note are the miniaturized versions of their classic and eclectic frames for children. In addition to eyeglasses, Warby Parker sells sunglasses, fashion-forward accessories, and even monocles!
Warby Parker’s Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program has resulted in the distribution of more than four million pairs of glasses to those in need around the world. This program is actually the source of inspiration behind the founding of the company. Launched in 2010 by Philadelphia residents Neil Blumenthal, Andrew Hunt, David Gilboa, and Jeffrey Raider, the company was initially a project launched by the Venture Initiation Program at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where the founders were all students. In 2011, Warby Parker raised its first round of funding totaling $2.5 million. As of 2015, the company was valued at $1.2 billion.
If you can’t make it to one of its locations, Warby Parker’s online store allows customers to choose five frames from the website, which they receive at home approximately five days from the purchase date. Customers can then try on all five frames at home, choosing which to keep and returning the unwanted ones free of charge. Frames are designed in-house and are sold directly to the customer. They also order their own materials (the majority from Italy) and have the glasses manufactured at the same upscale factories as the designer label glasses sold in department stores like Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. This design and execution model has enabled the company to keep their production costs low and offer the majority of their glasses at a price point of $100 (select frames go as low as $95).
Affordability doesn’t mean that the company has not been embraced by the mainstream fashion world. In fact, Warby Parker sees itself as a cutting-edge fashion brand. This design-minded identity means that you don’t have to sacrifice looking good for a low price.

In the wake of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins’ tragic death when he was struck and killed by a dump truck on a Florida highway on April 9, several details emerged on May 23 when a toxicology report and investigative report were released by the Broward County Medical Examiner and law enforcement authorities.
The report stated that Haskins’ blood alcohol levels were .24 and .20 — three times the legal limit of .08 in the state of Florida. Additionally, he tested positive for ketamine and norketamine. The cause of death was determined to be blunt force trauma.
Former first-round pick Dwayne Haskins tragically killed in car accident in April
A former first-round draft pick from Ohio State selected by the Washington franchise before being released and joining the Steelers as a backup, Haskins was 24 years old.
Piecing together the final hours of his life, a report by law enforcement authorities stated that Haskins went to dinner with a friend or cousin and then to a nightclub in South Florida where “they drank heavily and at some point, they got into a fight, separating.”
After leaving, Haskins’ car had run out of gas on the highway. At that point, Haskins left his car to get gas, which was when he was hit by the truck.
His wife, Kalabrya Haskins, told a 911 police dispatcher that her husband called her and informed her he was going to get gas. Because Haskins hadn’t called her back to update her, she called 911 to request a welfare check.
The report determined that this traffic incident was an accident. No one has been charged with a crime. In April, the crash report concluded that there was no fault by the driver. Haskins was also hit by a second car that tried to avoid hitting him.
The medical examiner’s investigation report, cited by multiple reports, including Andy Slater of Fox Sports in Miami, added that an unnamed “female companion” was in Haskins’ car and that she said that Haskins had gone to find gas for the car. Her relationship with Haskins wasn’t determined, per the report.
Statement issued on behalf of Haskins’ widow
Kalabrya Haskins’ law firm, The Ellsley Law Firm, issued a statement on her behalf Monday night after the revelations about the nature of his death.
“Dwayne Haskins, Jr. was tragically killed on April 9, 2022. He was a loving and dedicated husband, a son, and a brother. He wanted to be a father and eventually a grandfather. He was a humanitarian who loved children and animals. As a young man, Dwayne was a nationally recognized scholar-athlete while in high school in Maryland. Dwayne was a record-breaking quarterback for the Ohio State Buckeyes. He was an All Big Ten Academic Student Athlete.
“Dwayne was the MVP at the Big Ten Championship. He was the MVP at the Rose Bowl. He was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy. Dwayne was the 15th overall pick at the 2019 NFL Draft for Washington. When he passed away, he was a quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers and he was loved by his coaches and his teammates.
“Dwayne Haskins was all these things and so much more. On behalf of Dwayne’s wife, his family, and his memory, and on behalf of the truth, we respectfully request and pray for privacy, for patience, and for the public to withhold any judgment during this period while the law enforcement authorities continue to investigate and conduct their important work.”
Haskins remembered by Steelers and Buckeyes
The former Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year played in nine games his rookie season, throwing seven touchdowns and seven interceptions. He passed for five touchdowns in his second NFL campaign. In January 2021, he signed with the Steelers.
Haskins had been training in South Florida with other Steelers players, including running back Najee Harris, quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and tight end Pat Freiermuth. He had recently posted a light-hearted video with Harris. His final post was a motivational quote: “It is what it is will keep you at peace.”
In a statement at the time of Haskins’ death, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin expressed his emotions.
“I am devastated and at a loss for words with the unfortunate passing of Dwayne Haskins,” Tomlin said in a statement released by the team. “He quickly became part of our Steelers family upon his arrival in Pittsburgh and was one of our hardest workers both on the field and in our community. Dwayne was a great teammate, but even more so a tremendous friend to so many. I am truly heartbroken. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Kalabrya, and his entire family during this difficult time.”
Ohio State’s official football program released a statement shortly following the news, saying, “Leader. Legend. Forever a Buckeye.”
“We mourn the tragic loss of our GL family member Dwayne Haskins,” Goal Line Sports, Haskins’ sports agency, said in a statement. “There are no words to define this grief. Our prayers and condolences go out to his family and the Steelers family. Rest in power, Dwayne.” | <urn:uuid:2e565ab8-9131-422b-aea6-420e23baf24d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.profootballnetwork.com/dwayne-haskins-cause-of-death/ | 2024-04-17T09:09:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.98786 | 1,140 |

Often, sellers’ agents come to us requesting a floor plan draw as they believe the home is larger than indicated by public records. They’re usually right.
Interactive floor plans are one of our most popular add-on services - and for a good reason. An interactive floor plan gives far more information than a traditional floor plan alone.

The “interactive” part is the special sauce – interactive floor plans allow viewers to mouse over the floor plan and see pictures taken in that particular space. It even shows the angle which the photo was taken. Don’t leave potential buyers in the dark about your listing’s layout.

The sun is 149 million kilometers or 92.58 million miles from the earth.
What is the distance of the earth to the moon?
D. approximately 380,000 km (230,000 miles)
The correct answer is approximately 380,000 km (230,000 miles). This is the average distance between the Earth and the Moon. It is important to note that the distance can vary due to the Moon's elliptical orbit around the Earth.
How long does it take for the earth to rotate 360 degrees one time on its axis?
A. 24 hours
The earth rotates on its axis, which gives us day and night. The rotation takes 24 hours.
How long does it take for the earth to complete its orbit around the sun?
B. 365 1/4 days
It takes 365 1/4 days for the earth to orbit the sun
How long does it take for the moon to orbit Earth?
C. 28 days
It takes approximately 28 days for the moon to make a complete orbit around Earth.
The moon appears to grow larger after the new moon. This is called
the moon is waxing as it grows larger. Think of dipping a candle into wax-it grows larger with each dip.
After a full moon, the light reflected from the moon grows smaller. This is known as
the moon is waning, or growing smaller
The sun is directly over the equator on which two days of the year?
A. First day of spring and first day of fall
the sun is directly over the equator on the first day of spring and the first day of fall
What invisible line divides the earth into the northern and southern hemispheres?
B. The equator
The equator is the correct answer because it is an imaginary line that divides the earth into the northern and southern hemispheres. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and is the widest part of the earth. The northern hemisphere is located above the equator, while the southern hemisphere is located below it. The equator also experiences the most direct sunlight throughout the year, resulting in a warm climate.
What is the name of the imaginary line that runs from the north to the south pole?
D. The axis
The axis refers to the imaginary line that runs from the north to the south pole. It is an important reference point for determining the rotation and tilt of the Earth. The equator is a different imaginary line that divides the Earth into the northern and southern hemispheres. The Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer are lines of latitude that mark the farthest points where the sun can be directly overhead. The International Date Line is an imaginary line that marks the change in date as one travels across it.
The earth is able to support life because we have a unique _____________________
the atmosphere of the earth protects us from radiation, making life possible
When the sun's rays are most direct over the northern hemisphere, it is what season?
During the summer, the sun's rays are most direct over the northern hemisphere. This is because the Earth's axis is tilted towards the sun during this season. As a result, the sunlight hits the northern hemisphere more directly, leading to longer days, higher temperatures, and the characteristic warm weather associated with summer.
When the sun's rays are most direct over the southern hemisphere, the northern hemisphere is experiencing
When the sun's rays are most direct over the southern hemisphere, the northern hemisphere is experiencing winter. This is because the Earth's axis is tilted, causing different parts of the planet to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. When the southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it receives more direct sunlight and experiences summer, while the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, receiving less direct sunlight and experiencing winter.
The tilt of Earth on the axis allows for more direct sunlight on one hemisphere than another. This allows for
The tilt of Earth on its axis causes different parts of the planet to receive varying amounts of direct sunlight throughout the year. When one hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it experiences summer with longer days and more direct sunlight, while the other hemisphere is tilted away and experiences winter with shorter days and less direct sunlight. As Earth orbits the Sun, the tilt changes, leading to the transition of seasons. Therefore, the tilt of Earth on its axis is responsible for the occurrence of seasons. | <urn:uuid:ad4ce923-e7ee-4477-b576-7c77b53854f8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/story.php?title=sun-moon-earth-quiz | 2024-04-17T09:33:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.928199 | 961 |
PHOENIX, Feb. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Polyient Labs, a startup incubator helping blockchain-adjacent businesses succeed, is excited to welcome Cargo - an Ethereum-based digital warehouse - to its incubation program.
Cargo enables users to securely tokenize both digital and tangible assets and store them on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain. And, because Cargo uses ERC-721-specified tokens and smart contracts, it can immediately establish asset ownership - meaning users can confidently buy, sell, trade or auction items with peace of mind.
"Because we leverage ETH, which is valued at $200 billion, and the world's second most trusted blockchain (right behind Bitcoin) and ERC-721, it means users can rest easy knowing their assets are securely stored on a fully-established chain," says Sean Papanikolas, founder of Cargo.
Additionally, he explains, "Cargo's ERC-721 contracts enable the creation and management of an infinite number of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) at one time, empowering the scalability and speed needed to create enterprise-grade NFTs. Basic ERC-721 contracts cannot offer this; only Cargo's contracts can do this."
ERC-721 technology also permits digitized assets to be transferred to any comparable wallet or platform, opening up entirely new possibilities in the buying and selling of digital goods.
"Cargo is a logical addition to Polyient's incubation program," says Polyient CEO, Brad Robertson. "It complements several startups we are now incubating. More importantly, as we continue to expand into the NFT space, Cargo's technology will enable us to address key issues related to the minting and distribution of NFTs. This puts Polyient in the position to significantly enlarge the ecosystem surrounding the emerging NFT asset class."

Resources & Support for Students with Challenges at Home
Challenges outside the classroom including divorce, poverty, and violence can impact a student’s performances inside the classroom. Learn how to spot which students might be struggling and how they can find support.
Regardless of age or education level, students often experience struggles outside the classroom that impact behavior and academic performance in significant ways. These include domestic violence, homelessness, and lack of technology among other challenges. Recent research in Michigan, for example, found that maltreatment and other factors consistently lower academic outcomes. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has only made these concerns more noticeable, leading to spikes in domestic concerns and presenting new challenges in education.
Addressing these challenges is imperative but not always easy. This guide helps with that by detailing some of the most common challenges at home and discussing their effects on K-12 and college students. For each issue listed we provide resources that can help students and their families overcome it.
Challenge: Divorce of Parents or Caregivers
With nearly half of marriages ending in divorce, many students likely witness these challenges in their peers or experience them firsthand. Studies have consistently shown that divorce lowers educational attainment levels, leaving students more likely to be held back and less likely to earn a college degree.
The challenges present themselves in a variety of ways and often stem from unstable environments. Younger children who spend several days a week in a different home may have difficulty concentrating or completing homework, showing signs of distress or separation anxiety. Older students may express anger, at times taking on the emotional demands of their parent or caregivers. Teenagers and college-age students may display increased aggression, negativity, and apathy.
Challenge: Violence in the Home
Researchers estimate that over 15 million children in the U.S. live in homes where domestic violence has occurred at least once in the past year. Seven million live in homes where severe violence has occurred. The COVID-19 pandemic appears to be contributing to these trends, with many students and families forced to stay at home.
Domestic violence makes a significant impact on children and can lead to long-term physical and mental health issues. Younger students may struggle with feelings of guilt, low self-esteem, and lack of motivation in completing classroom work. Students in middle school or high school are likely to engaging in risky behaviors, pick fights, and simply skip school.
Challenge: Substance Abuse and Addiction in the Home
Addiction and substance abuse can negatively affect anyone, but children and youth are especially susceptible. The current opioid epidemic has only made this situation worse. The CDC observes that 128 people die every day from opioid overdoes alone while 15% of high school students report using or misusing those substances.
Because students’ brains have not fully matured, the effects of substance abuse can be especially significant, contributing to impaired cognitive development. The effects include memory loss, concentration difficulties, and inability to process information, all of which impact academic performance. Likewise, substance abuse by family members or caregivers can contribute to an unsafe, unstable learning environment.
Challenge: Lack of Internet or Other Technologies
Access to the internet and other connective technologies are crucial to any learning experience, leading some to consider these resources public utilities like water or electricity. Most schools and teachers regularly use these technologies them to communicate with students and deliver content. This has only increased due to COVID-19.
Lack of internet and other technologies at home can cause students to fall behind in their studies. UNICEF reports that low-income students and those in rural areas suffer the most from this digital gap. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), these barriers hinder students’ ability to fully participate and engage in their education.
Challenge: Poverty, Homelessness, and Home Insecurity
Economic recession, stalling job growth numbers, and related crises continue to contribute to already alarming poverty and homelessness trends in America. Lack of basic resources adversely affect education outcomes. According to NCES, in 2018 18% of students came from families living in poverty. Another study found that nearly half of children live at or near the national poverty line.
These realities often led to a vicious cycle where impacted students are at a greater risk of dropping out of school or falling behind. Poverty and homelessness can make students feel alienated. It reduces motor skills and attentiveness, and can lead to poor physical health conditions that prohibit meaningful engagement.
Challenge: Food Insecurity
Food insecurity often results from poverty or homelessness and poses similar challenges to students. Researchers at the Brookings Institution recently found that nearly 14 million school-aged children do not get enough to eat each day. A similar report by Forbes indicates that the number of food insecure households more than doubled this year alone.
The effects on education make a lasting impact. Lack of food and proper nutrition can be damaging to health and slows brain development. For example, kindergarteners experiencing food insecurity often fall behind their peers cognitively and emotionally. Older students and those in college report similar issues and an overall decrease in psychosocial health. | <urn:uuid:1ac282ea-abf5-4215-9c27-8a586493106e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.publicservicedegrees.org/college-resources/students-with-family-challenges/ | 2024-04-17T09:33:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.951715 | 1,030 |

Accidents can be quite traumatizing for various individuals. Not only do people have to deal with physical trauma, but many also stand to face financial tribulations as well.
Thankfully, an accident claim can aid in helping parties get the assistance they deserve. For those who choose to pursue that route, there are a couple of laws to understand and utilize to build a strong claim.
As with any personal injury claim, being able to prove who is at fault for the accident is key. The comparative negligence law makes this fact even more critical. In short, this law states that a party only receives an award for the amount of fault the other party holds. For example, if the court determines that the at-fault party in a claim is responsible for 80% of the accident and the claimant contributed 20%, then the claimant’s actual award will be 80% of the total of the initial award amount. Therefore, it is in a claimant’s best interest to not only build a case that shows the other party’s fault, but one that also limits his or her amount of fault.
For some claimants, it may take some time to adjust after an accident before he or she is ready to move forward with a claim. The statute of limitations allows the party some time to file after an accident. This timeframe may vary, depending upon the type of accident; for example, parties have up to three years to file a claim for an auto accident. However, there are some exceptions to this law, such as a claim for a defective product that does not prove to be defective until years down the road.
Along with these specific laws, it may be beneficial for claimants to become familiar with the personal injury laws in general. With the understanding of the law and the assistance of a knowledgeable professional, claimants can create strong cases to aid them in receiving the just compensation they deserve. | <urn:uuid:5687e842-64e6-4967-8570-897ad7895eaa> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.purvisthomson.com/blog/2019/08/building-a-strong-accident-claim-using-the-law/ | 2024-04-17T08:48:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.952125 | 382 |
PlayStation boss Jim Ryan’s purported “distaste” for backwards compatibility has been misquoted and misinterpreted for years now, but the businessman would like to set the record straight: the ability to play PlayStation 4 games on the upcoming PlayStation 5 will be “absolutely key” to the success of the next-generation system.
The executive was speaking after a recent investor relations day, as reported by Games Industry.biz. He explained that transitioning consumers from its current console to its new one is critical to “initial momentum”, and it wants to achieve it faster than it ever has before. By moving your existing games library across, the manufacturer hopes that it will be easier for fans to upgrade.
Despite all of this, the company still expects the PS4 to be the primary driver of profits for the next three years or so. This makes sense, as the hardware and software will almost certainly drop in price, making it more attractive to a broader audience. To be honest, it seems like the organisation has everything figured out – now we just need to wait patiently for more information. | <urn:uuid:945114f5-1577-419e-af8a-15f8600682db> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2019/05/sony_backwards_compatibility_is_absolutely_key_to_ps5 | 2024-04-17T10:00:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817146.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20240417075330-20240417105330-00667.warc.gz | en | 0.961713 | 226 |
