NEW online-ministry opportunities have arisen during the nearly two years of Covid-19’s devastating impact on the Church, but I detect an offline trend quietly emerging without being much talked about.
The pandemic has forced a change in funeral expectations: a limited number present, short time-slots at crematoria — usually 30 minutes, to allow for chapel ventilation and cleaning between ceremonies — face coverings, and no singing. At the same time, the universal adoption by crematoria of the useful Obitus system has meant that music of all kinds can be synchronised with picture presentations, and services or humanist ceremonies can be live-streamed to those unable to attend, anywhere in the world. But they are not actually “there”.
Until the recent past, the main pastoral “closure” event was the funeral: mostly, a “thanksgiving and celebration” of a life well lived.
But, if people have not been able to attend a service, or it has been necessary to abbreviate the ceremonial because of Covid restrictions, then mourners may feel that something has been lost: “She loved singing, and we couldn’t sing”; “We would so much have loved his friend Barny, and someone from work, to have been able to speak, but there wasn’t time.” And thus has arisen a gentle flow of demands for some kind of non-restricted memorial service, sometimes many months after the funeral itself.
I HAVE also observed a desire for more-than-usually significant ceremonies of interment of the ashes, attended by more people than just immediate family. My past experience of these brief ceremonies has been that they were very brief, although not perfunctory, opportunities for some final words of closure for the bereaved.
We know that the ashes of loved ones can hang around at the back of cupboards, sometimes even for years, waiting to be surreptitiously spread when busy relatives get a chance to take that favourite country, seaside, or riverside walk that Grandma loved. At the same time, I am also aware that actual disposal can be a problem. Snowdonia National Park, for example, has clamped down on the spreading of ashes at the top of its highest peak, because their deposition has been upsetting the plant ecology of the summit.
Keeping this kind of scenario in the back of our minds, we recognise that it is important that ashes be handled responsibly and discreetly. Requested to do so by the Christian family of someone with a strong waterways link, I have used an open electric launch as a platform for such a ceremony or brief service. Close family were with me in the boat, while others contributed readings, and so on, from the bank near by. I should probably comment that it is important to ensure that there is flow, and be careful of wind direction. . .
The main thrust of this for me, however, is to highlight that the burial of ashes seems to be acquiring a new significance for bereaved people who have felt that the “Covid funeral” failed, somehow, to do justice to the one whom they have lost. This is particularly so if there had been an expectation that the funeral service would be a packed-out celebration of the life of a popular figure.
I have, therefore, found it a privilege to help families to deal with ashes, and also to plan those simple memorial events, one involving a mini “Songs of Praise” of hymns that could not be sung at the funeral 15 months earlier, all taken with cake and some carefully chosen pastoral words and prayers. We sang with face coverings, but still sent tremors through the roof.
Obviously, such pastoral occasions need to be individually thought through, mostly written creatively from scratch, and delivered with great care and attention to detail. There is a wealth of source material out there to draw from as required.
AS A retired priest, I am happy to do that, but parish churches are also blessed with licensed lay ministers and other figures for whom this could be a significant ministry, because it seems likely that, in the years to come, such pastoral opportunities will become much more common.
There are no fees involved, of course, but there is real satisfaction in seeing people lifted up and sent on their way — if not exactly rejoicing, certainly better prepared for the next stages of what might have been a devastating bereavement.
Furthermore, since so many funerals have been lost to secular celebrants, invitations to support bereaved people with these demonstrations of Christian hope are to be grasped with both hands.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a world-wide problem that is having profound impacts on the education system. So far, more than 1.1 billion students have been affected by campus closures. With numbers that extreme, it’s no surprise that digital learning has seen a surge of growth in recent months.
Colleges and universities in particular have been scrambling to implement new instruction methods. While elementary and secondary education have to confront their own struggles, universities face the very real threat of losing significant portions of their student bodies. Finding methods to provide academic continuity are key to keeping students engaged and learning of their own volition.
The transition to online learning won’t necessarily be smooth for everyone. The process of changing the entire academic structure from in-person to online classes often leads to new anxieties, concerns, and challenges. Managing these new stresses effectively will help students and faculty alike succeed in their new academic environment.
The Emotional Challenges Educators Face in the Transition
Overwhelmingly, educators and faculty are reporting increased levels of stress and anxiety. Most educators were given mere days of notice about the transition to digital classrooms. Developing a curriculum for an online course is a serious undertaking under normal circumstances. Add to that the stresses of a global pandemic and middle-of-the-semester transitions and it’s unsurprising that many educators have voiced feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.
Several studies have revealed just how severe the emotional toll on US educators really is. At the end of March, a team at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, alongside the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), launched a survey about the emotional lives of teachers during the COVID-19 crisis. In just three days, over 5,000 U.S. teachers responded.
According to the survey, the top five feelings among educators were:
Anxiety was by far the most frequently mentioned emotion. Educators are worried they do not have enough support as they face the same global stresses as everyone else.
It is important to remember that educators are just as important as their students. It becomes much more difficult for an educator to help their students if they themselves are struggling. Resources that help educators will help their students too. By comprehensively supporting educators as they navigate this time of stress, it becomes possible to make a smoother transition to online learning.
Adapting to Unfamiliar Digital Territory Can Be Challenging
With new constraints raised by COVID-19, the challenges might seem insurmountable. However, there are many solutions to these challenges. The following methods are just some examples of ways to alleviate educator concerns during the transition to online teaching:
Consider Using a Webcam for Live Lecture Sessions
Educators who have never taught online before are likely most familiar with the standard lecture class format. Recreating this atmosphere online can help teachers manage their courses without completely changing them. Using a webcam and live streaming a lecture is an effective way to emulate a traditional classroom atmosphere.
Live lectures are also familiar to students. Most students understand how to take notes and learn from live lectures, so using a webcam and scheduling lectures offers an effective solution for everyone.
Overall, using a webcam to produce live lectures is a great way for teachers to quickly add structure to their online classes and bridge the gap while transitioning to digital education.
Organize a Suitable Office or Workspace
Most university educators have a dedicated office space on their campus. This is the place where they plan future lessons, review assignments, and generally focus on their work. With campus closures, many educators have lost access to their dedicated workspaces.
As classes become fully online, it’s likely most educators will begin working from home anyway. Recreating or choosing a workspace at home is a great way to regain some structure and agency during this time of high stress and unease.
A home workspace can be as simple or complex as you choose to make it. A home office is ideal for those who have the space; setting aside an entire room for work helps separate your work life from everything personal. At the end of the day, it’s possible to simply close the door and return to your private life without any lingering stress hanging over you.
For homes with no room to spare, there are still options. For instance, you can set aside a particular desk or table. Having a dedicated work space helps the brain transition from task to task. If you always work at the same table or in the same space, just being there will automatically help your brain focus on the task at hand. But make sure to leave work at your workspace once you’re done for the day or else you will erode this association.
Plan Out Tech Support
Tech support is essential to assist your move to a new online system. There will always be questions about the most effective way to share information or access data. The quickest way to help educators find peace of mind during the transition to an online environment is to provide technical resources in advance.
Educators are already working hard to repurpose assignments, projects, and presentations. Technical support removes the stressful burden of figuring out new platforms or software; working with systems and companies that provide reliable technical support and resources will help the transition process go more smoothly.
At CIP, our team of trained support specialists can help handle technical questions of all types. From helping educators upload their content to answering student concerns about access, our goal is to keep the technical side simple.
We also have a large online reference database of frequently asked questions. No matter the concern, both students and faculty can quickly find answers to their questions. This means educators can focus on their students and students can focus on their course materials. The end result is an online course that is less stressful for everyone.
Helping Students Overcome Common Challenges of Online Learning
Once educators understand their transition to online teaching, it’s time to focus on helping students transition to online learning. Many students who previously attended in-person classes need help transitioning to online-only learning environments. Given the significant differences between the two settings for education, providing effective coping strategies and study methods help students succeed in the face of challenging circumstances.
Students face many common challenges with online learning. Anticipating and preparing for these challenges will help educators produce more effective classes and better student outcomes. Studies on student responses to pandemic-related online learning have outlined a few of the most common problems with digital learning:
Online learning had been easing into the mainstream for a while before the pandemic. Many students who preferred in-person education did so because it helped motivate them to learn. Now that online learning is mandatory for most campuses, many students will face the struggle of finding motivation by themselves.
Student participation is now entirely based on the learner’s self-motivation. Since students cannot interact with their instructors or peers in-person, there is less external pressure to focus on class — this is why being self-motivated is such a vital element of online learning.
Students are doing their best, but not everyone is a self-starter. Educators can help students succeed by making participation as structured and easy as possible. Using simple online systems removes a barrier of confusion from the learning process so students don’t have to struggle to participate. Their efforts can instead go into their coursework instead of troubleshooting.
Understanding Course Expectations
Beyond making course materials accessible, educators should make their expectations clear. Without the traditional start-of-the semester “syllabus day,” there are many students who don’t understand course requirements and expectations. Providing clear, simple sets of instructions and expectations for course assignments will remove ambiguities and help students immensely.
For example, educators should develop and share a clear schedule for the semester from the start. Upload assignments, tests, and other learning materials at the start of the course and include all the relevant deadlines in the schedule. Students have more outside obligations than ever, so many will appreciate the chance to plan out classwork in advance.
Another helpful tactic is to provide examples of different assignments. Every instructor expects something a little different when they assign discussion posts, essays, or lab reports. By providing clear examples of what you expect, students will feel more confident and you will receive better work.
Dedicated students and educators want their classes to be taken seriously. Maintaining academic integrity is important if the wider world is going to take online education seriously. When students aren’t taking tests in-person, exams become a potential failure point for academic integrity.
That’s where online proctoring is a useful solution. Different online testing methods might require educators to rewrite tests or compromise the integrity of the class. That makes it difficult to compare results from different years. Online proctoring solutions let educators use the same test formats as they would for in-person classes and makes it easier to track students’ comprehension of the material from year to year, all while trusting that academic integrity is intact.
CIP has partnered with industry leader ProctorU to provide streamlined, integrated online proctoring. This service allows students to schedule tests at times that work for them. We take care of incident reports, technical questions, scheduling, and everything else. Educators only have to upload the test material and wait for the results.
Different Learning Style Needs
Students who thrive with in-person classes may falter in the transition to online courses. That’s because in-person education appeals to certain learning styles in ways that can be difficult to recreate online. Providing a rich variety of learning materials for your students is essential to keeping all your students engaged. For instance:
- Aural learners thrive in lecture environments, but may not get much from written sources. Webcam lectures, either live or recorded, are a great resource for these students.
- Hands-on learners may suffer from a lack of physical models to study, but providing in-depth interactive 3D models can help them focus.
The more variety you provide, the more your students will gain from your online course.
Uncertainty About the Future
Students are just as concerned about the future as educators are. Students want reassurance that their education will continue smoothly. They want to know that they are getting the information they’ll need to succeed. When they can’t be sure about world events, they look to their educational institution for support.
While educators can’t end the pandemic, they can reassure students about their education. A clear, well-defined online education program can be deeply reassuring to many students. Providing a well-established online curriculum shows students that their chosen institution has things under control. That helps students relax and focus on their studies instead of worrying about the future.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created innumerable challenges for the world of education. Educators and students alike are working to keep the system running smoothly. Although difficult to navigate, many of the challenges associated with the transition to online teaching and education can be mitigated with some forethought and planning.
By anticipating the stressors that educators and students will face in this transition, it’s possible to provide solutions in advance. The transition to online learning can be made smooth. Choose the right resources and tools, and everyone will have a less stressful learning transition.

Father’s Day is coming soon, and women around the country are searching for that perfect gift for their husband. But, chances are you, as their wife, can give them exactly what he wants for Father’s Day without spending a dime. Because what husbands really want is to be respected.
It is said that the one thing men really want is respect, and the one thing women really want is to be loved. When a woman respects her husband, she often receives the love she desires. But, respecting your husband can be hard at times. We live in a society that praises independent, strong women, whose opinions are heard, and at the same times seems to lessen men, their opinions, and their voice. And sometimes our adamant female positions on a subject may be disrespecting our husband.
I know this because I am a stubborn woman, who loves to talk, always has an opinion, and often times thinks my choice is better than that of my husband. In so many small and simple ways I often disrespect the man I love. In turn, I don’t always receive love and affection, or praise, that I crave from my best friend and spouse.
Respect is an interesting thing. While of course you respect your husband for working (or taking care of the kids, depending on your family’s dynamics), for earning money, for being a good father, and a good husband, it is often their opinion and their needs that they really wanted to be valued and respected.
Respect Your Husband’s Opinions
For my husband and I, this means that I must not shut down his ideas immediately. If he mentions a big purchase he would like to make, or a trip he’d like to take, or that we should move our family to a different apartment, my immediate gut response is always “No!” I am a very frugal person, and any mention of money being spent makes me cringe inside, as I want to avoid spending money like the plague.
Despite my husband being the spender in our relationship, he often mentions these big expenses because he thinks they are a good idea. He wouldn’t bring it up otherwise!
By the time my husband has brought up something like this to me, I can safely assume that he has thought some about it first. To immediately shut down his ideas, without hearing them out, without asking how he thinks we can swing it financially, or without asking why he thinks we should do it, I am disrespecting him.
Even when I immediately shut down his smaller ideas, my husband feels disrespected. My husband can mention that he’d like to take the family to the Bounce House, or that he’d like for us to go swimming on Saturday, or that he’d like to eat out at a Mexican restaurant for dinner tonight. But, sometimes I think that they aren’t great ideas for whatever reasons. Maybe I’m not craving Mexican (and he always wants Mexican, and it costs too much money to eat out), or maybe the Bounce House is too expensive today and I think we should wait until Wednesday when the admissions is $2 less per kid, or that swimming on Saturday won’t be great because we have other errands or things to do instead.
Whatever it is, I have this horrible tendency to discredit what he wants to do for some reason. His ideas are valuable, just as are mine. I have yet to to master the skillful art of getting my husband to think my idea was his idea, which I know some women are great at! So, for now, I just come across as always shutting down his ideas, like a jerk. I mean who likes to be wrong all the time? Who likes feeling like their ideas are stupid? Or who likes being dismissed by “better ideas” time and time again? No one, especially not the man in your life. It says to him that you do not respect him, or his opinions.
Respect Your Husband By Doing What He Asks You to Do
I stay home with the kids, and my husband attends school full-time and teaches as he attends. He’s gone quite a bit, and I am often delegated certain responsbilities because, well, I am home during the day, and he is not. This of course means I do the laundry, sweeping, mopping, and dishes. But, sometimes this also means completing errands or tasks, specifically ones that my husband has asked me to do.
However, like most people, I don’t always get to the to-do list in a timely manner. And some requests from my husband go unfulfilled for days, weeks, or months. Ignoring my husband’s requests to call and make a doctor’s appointment for him, or to get the car washed and detailed, or to call so-and-so about babysitting this weekend so we can go out, is disrespectful to him.
My husband doesn’t usually make a lot of requests of me, as he knows I have a lot on my plate with three young kids, homeschooling, managing a home, and running a blogging business. But, he sometimes just can’t get to things during the workweek and needs me to do them.
Prioritizing his simple requests speaks volumes about how much I respect him and love him.
Respect Your Husband’s Need for Affection and Attention
Men love their wives, and crave time to be with them. Ignoring your husband’s hugs, kisses, pats on the back, or desire to be intimate, is disrespectful to them as well.
Husbands express themselves through intimacy, through sex, through physical contact. Don’t keep putting off your husband’s physical needs because of your kids, because you’re too busy with the housework, because you are just too stressed or tired about life, or whatever.
Before kids, family, and the craziness of life, it was just you and him, man and wife. Your husband wants to still be your number one support and your lover. He wants to feel important to you, more important than kids, school, work, or home. He wants to know that you still value him, need him, and desire him. And sometimes the best way to express this to him is through intimacy.
I know that women (generally) are different in that this need is not as strong as it is in males. We don’t need sex as often as our man, but, as anyone who is in a loving, respectful marriage will tell you, sex is more than a physical act. It’s binding. It’s emotional. It’s important within a marriage, and especially important to your husband. But, be sure you aren’t just going through the motions in this area either; please, try to engage him in sexual relations, as it speaks volumes about how you feel about this aspect of your marriage, and ultimately about him.
If you need or want some ideas on spicing things up, here are some great printables from the Dating Divas:
But, besides showing affection in the bedroom, husbands want affection otherwise too! They want to hear how proud you are of him, his hard work, and all that he does. They want to know that you are aware of the sacrifices he makes every day as well. Praise him, listen to his stories from the office, and congratulate him for his work.
And when your husband does something helpful around the house, thank him for it.
Appreciating and respecting your husband are what he really wants for Father’s Day, and everyday. For great ideas on how to find joy in your man and to develop your relationship with him, I recommend reading “Women Living Well.”
So, tell me, how do you respect your husband? How do you show him that respect on Father’s Day, as well as other days of the year?

Let's get this out of the way: There are no dumb dogs, there are just dogs who are less smart.
That's the takeaway from a now viral thread on Twitter, in which people are sharing their pups' less graceful moments. Some might call them lowlights, but we find them relatable as heck.
Video of the Day
"Please tell me about your dumbest dog," asked Twitter user Bum Phillips, a college football writer with nearly 140,000 followers.
Challenge officially issued, folks on the microblogging platform quickly leaned into the ask with a flood of funny anecdotes, the best and funniest of which are collected below.
1. "Literally this morning tried to poop on an incline and then got so distracted by the poop rolling down the hill that she fell over"
2. "Tried to bite his reflection in the refrigerator"
3. "Everytime someone gets in the bath tub, Blue figures he needs to be in there as well."
4. "My brother’s dog is forever at war with my office curtain"
"these are all from different days and there are many more"
5. "Behold my dog Frida, who ate a whole stack of kraft singles while I was in the shower."
(Don't worry, she didn't eat any plastic and ended up sleeping it off—as one does.)
6. "He chewed a hole in the grill cover and then got stuck in it."
7. "Routinely climbs up to the top of the third floor stairs—knowing full well he's too scared to go back down the stairs—and whines until someone comes to get him."
8. "Vicktor likes walls"
9. "Cousin’s labradoodle somehow consists of 2 out of the 6 'smartest' breeds"
10. "Where do I pick up the award?"
11. "The puppy will only chew something if he’s in the backyard, but he will chew anything in the backyard."
12. "My dog cuddles with an <empty> peanut butter filled pretzels container."
13. "Do you have all day? Because I have just the dog for you ... "
14. "'Get a lab,' they said. 'The breed is whip-smart,' they said"
15. "That's no how it works, my dude." (Press play to watch.)
16. "stares at walls" (likely because he can hear the neighbor watching tv)
17. "in his youth this dummo used to flip a laundry basket over his head and run through the house"

Provisional to replace old bridge until further treatment is done and permanent bridge is completed. Provisional placed same day as removal of old bridge and any extractions.
Provisional crowns/bridges are temporary replacement prosthetic that protect the remaining natural teeth while patients are in mid-treatment. Provisional crowns are a great way to preserve the smile until missing teeth can be permanently replaced. Not only do they function as placeholders, but they also allow patients to see and feel the comfort of the permanent prosthetic. This allows patients ample time to discuss future treatments with Dr. Lee. An example of how great they are is in how they are used in creating new bridges. Usually, when a bridge fails, it fails for a reason. After the existent bridge is removed, it is no longer functionable and it can leave patients with an unsightly smile until the rest of their treatment is completed (i.e. extractions, root canals, implants...etc). Before the bridge is removed, a provisional bridge can be custom made for the patient to match the surrounding teeth. Until patients are ready to proceed with a new bridge or another permanent prosthetic, the provisional bridge will hide any gaps where teeth are missing and cover any teeth that were shaved down for the previous bridge. Patients can continue to smile confidently as they work their way to getting the real smile they want.
Gum recession caused gaps and cavities to appear under the existent bridge. Old bridge also no longer matches natural teeth's color.

Vintage Sound: Jared Lekites
Listen to one song by Jared Lekites, and immediately you know there’s something different about him. Bringing back the sounds of the 1960s, the Edmond musician is out to show current radio a thing or two.
Lekites’ love of music came at an early age. “When I was little, I always had my ear glued to the radio. I’d listen to anything from Motown to Reba McEntire – just a whole variety,” he says. “I just wanted to make the music that I like to listen to.”
And make music he did. After growing up in New England and California, Lekites moved to Oklahoma eight years ago. By then, music was completely ingrained into his life, and he started his first band in high school. Through influences like The Beatles and The Beach Boys, and with a talent all his own, Lekites’ unique sound began to take shape. “It just so happens that most of the songs I listen to are old and scratchy. I listen to vinyl and stuff from the ’60s. So, I think that’s why it came out sounding the way it did – a bit on the vintage side,” he says with a laugh.
Though his style may be considered vintage, the experience of his music is new. Lekites said he feels that, like himself, listeners are connecting to the songs out of an affinity for the golden years of rock and roll. “I think what draws them to it is probably that they’re uninterested in stuff that’s going on now. I probably couldn’t sit through an hour of Top 40 radio,” he explains.
With the release of his independent EP, “Looking for Diamonds,” Lekites gives the audience an opportunity to hear five original songs. “For the past couple of years, I had just written so many songs, and I wanted to get them out there,” he says.
The process of recording, in which Lekites plays all of the instruments on the EP, is especially appealing to him. “To think up the parts in my head and translate them into what the finished product will be, I love being able to do that,” he says.
Another aspect of this particular career that inspires Lekites is how it feels to perform on stage. “I love the audience reaction because when the crowd is really going for it, you can do anything,” he says.
Lekites hopes to put out a full-length, currently independent CD he has been working on and expand his touring outside of the state. He says the time is right for musicians to embrace today’s new technological platform to boost their careers. The attempt to reach out to people is what inspired Lekites to name his EP “Looking for Diamonds,” as a way to acknowledge the desire in listeners to find musical gems they can connect to. “That’s kind of what you’re doing when you’re shopping for music. You’re looking for certain diamonds in the rough, and I guess it’s kind of a good symbolism for what we’re all doing in life too,” he says.
With his reputation gaining strength, Lekites says he hopes new listeners will find something deeper in his songs. “I want people to feel emotion – real, true emotion. Whether it be happiness or sadness, I don’t want them to walk away not feeling something,” he says.
For Lekites, it’s about proving that what was old is new again. For more information or to listen to some of Jared Lekites’ songs, visit his website at www.myspace.com/lekites.

Timelapses: a short, compressed video from an image sequence
Wikipedia: Time-lapse photography is a technique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured (the frame rate) is much more spread out than the frequency used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. For example, an image of a scene may be captured at 1 frame per second, but then played back at 30 frames per second; the result is an apparent 30 times speed increase.
Timelapse The Hague/Scheveningen Beach
Clouds and waves are the core elements of this timelapse.

On my dedicated video and timelapse site you will find more timelapses and also a lot of information about how to start making your own timelapse. You will find there my own tips, but more importantly, information from various experts.
Note: this site is still new and much content has to be added. But the 'how to' pages already offer a wealth of information.

The short answer, via Duke Law’s Center for the Study of the Public Domain?
Under the law that existed until 1978 . . . Works from 1955
A taste of the long answer:
Think of the movies from 1955 that would have become available this year. You could have shared clips online with your friends. You could have shown the full films in your local theater. You could have spliced and remixed and made documentaries about them. Instead, here are a few of the movies that we won’t see in the public domain for another 39 years:
• The Seven Year Itch, directed by Billy Wilder; starring Marilyn Monroe and Tom Ewell
• Lady and the Tramp, Walt Disney Productions’ classic animation
• Mister Roberts, directed by John Ford; starring Henry Fonda, James Cagney, and Jack Lemmon
• Alfred Hitchcock’s To Catch a Thief, starring Cary Grant and Grace Kelly
• The thriller The Night of the Hunter, directed by Charles Laughton; starring Robert Mitchum and Shelley Winters
• Two of James Dean’s three major motion pictures: East of Eden, directed by Elia Kazan and co-starring Raymond Massey and Julie Harris; and Rebel Without a Cause, directed by Nicholas Ray and co-starring Natalie Woods, Sal Mineo, and Jim Backus
• Hollywood versions of major Broadway musicals such as Oklahoma! and Guys and Dolls
• Richard III, Laurence Olivier’s film version of the Shakespeare play, co-starring Claire Bloom, Cedric Hardwicke, Nicholas Hannen, Ralph Richardson, and John Gielgud
There’s much more… including how even those materials from 1955 that actually did fall out of copyright today for various technical reasons still remain inaccessible. *argh* It’s an infuriating read about a situation that makes us weaker and poorer as a culture, and exists only in the furtherance of ongoing corporate profit.

GAC’s mine and port are some 90 kilometres apart, and we use shared rail infrastructure to move our bauxite ore to the coast.
Each ore train consists of three locomotives and up to 150 wagons. Each wagon can hold 85 tonnes of ore.
The trains are loaded from the mine stockpile by a fleet of four front-end loaders. The load rate equates to less than two minutes per wagon.
Fully-loaded trains can carry some 12,750 tonnes of ore, similar in weight to the Eiffel Tower. The journey to the coast takes approximately three hours.

Handling Favoritism In the Workplace
At one time or another most people in the work force have felt like a boss has liked someone better than them at work. Maybe it was just the way they talked to another person or possibly they actually did play favorites in the office.
At a conference that I was lecturing at I happened to walk into the speaker ready room and saw two of my colleagues having a cup of coffee. One asked if I would join them and help her with a question she had about a situation with the other person.
I asked what I could help with and she wanted to know what I thought about playing favorites in the office and buying some employees a gift and others nothing.
I simply said that if you cannot purchase something equal for each employee that works under you then do not purchase anything. This other manager was pretty taken back by my answer. She told me that she had a few staff members that she was closer with and that she thought it was fine to buy them a nice gift and leave the other 15 employees out.
I asked where was she going to present the gifts to them at and she replied “at work” and yes other employees would see her gifting them. I asked her if she had done this before and she had. I asked how the other “left out employees” felt and she said “they have never said anything to her, but she had heard that they made some nasty remarks.”
She said that the remarks did not bother her because these other employees had earned the gifts and deserved them.
We sat down and had a discussion about what behavior like “favoritism” by management personnel does in the work environment. These are the top three issues that favoritism creates at work;
1. Hurt feelings, stress, resentment and anxiety by those who are left out.
2. Friction between the favored and un-favored employees.
3. Decreased morale and productivity overall.
Favoritism destroys workplace teams. Many times a manager will show favoritism to an employee without even realizing that they are doing it. Management staff need to walk a straight line with staff members and not lean-to close to one over the other.
This is not to say that employee recognition is taboo. Employees absolutely should be recognized for good works, but in front of everyone and everyone has the same opportunity to be recognized. No favorites at work.
Outside work relationships is another blog topic altogether.
After talking with this manager she began to see what problems she was causing by her actions with her team as a whole. She actually thought that by showing favoritism to a few that it would make the others try harder.
Being a manager can be tough when you have a lot of staff personnel to work with. Naturally we are attracted to some people over others and seem to click better with certain people and personality types.
We must always remember that in our position we need to be careful not to favor one staff member over another as crossing that line can be hurtful and destructive to our businesses overall productiveness.
Have you encountered favoritism at work? Tell us what happened?

1. Read the following passage and answer the questions in your own words.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and presents an unprecedented challenge to public health, food systems and the world of work. The economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic is devastating: tens of millions of people are at risk of falling into extreme poverty, while the number of undernourished people, currently estimated at nearly 690 million, could increase by up to 132 million by the end of the year.
Millions of enterprises face the threat of closure. Nearly half of the world’s 3.3 billion global workforce are at risk of losing their livelihoods. Informal economy workers are particularly vulnerable because the majority lack social protection and access to quality health care.
Immediate and purposeful action to save lives and livelihoods should include extending universal health coverage and income support for those most affected. These include workers in the informal economy and in poorly protected and low-paid jobs, including youth, older workers, and migrants. Particular attention must be paid to the situation of women in low-paid jobs. Different forms of support should be given, including cash transfers, child allowances and healthy school meals, shelter and food relief, support for employment retention and recovery, and financial relief for businesses, including small and medium-sized enterprises. In designing and implementing such measures it is essential that governments work closely with employers and workers.
Now is the time for global solidarity and support, especially with the most vulnerable in our societies, particularly in the emerging and developing world. Only together can we overcome the intertwined social and economic impacts of the pandemic and prevent its escalation into a humanitarian and food security catastrophe, with the potential loss of already achieved development gains.
1. Why does the passage state that the economic and social disruption caused by the Covid 19 pandemic is devastating?
2. Why are ‘informal economy workers’ said to be particularly vulnerable?
3. According to this passage, who are the “most affected” by the pandemic?

According to reports a new National Cyber Security Policy (NCSP ) is presently under development by the National Cyber Security Coordinator (NCSC) and may be released in early 2020.
This is good news because the earlier NCSP was released in 2013, by the then Planning Commission, and I have always wondered what the hell did the PC know about cyber security as to be able to come up with a national policy. This fear was not unfounded and there was a lot of stink when I read the paper.
This is good news because the present NCSP is being drafted by the highest office for Cyber Security in the country. This means that it will be discussed and created by experts. I understand that a committee of experts has been put together by the NCSC and they are on the job.
Expectations from the upcoming NCSP
As a concerned citizen I look forward to the NCSP 2020 and pray that the provisions will be put into effect. I pray it will have sharp teeth and that it will be able to catalyze (desperately needed) change.
A general vision for cyber security for the nation has been articulated by the Hon’ble Prime Minister in a number of forums, and has been repeated by the Ministers and officials in MEITY and MHA. I pray that the NCSP 2020 will embody the same spirit of aggressiveness and innovation as demonstrated by the present government across the board.
IndiaWatch wish-list for NCSP2020
There are a few suggestions I have, for inclusion in the policy, which are based on my experience and learning and I hope that it finds it;s way to the office of the NCSC for consideration.
Firstly, the underlying objective (in addition to others) must be to create an environment of trust between the government and the cyber security ecosystem. There are many factors which contribute to the lack of trust and this needs to be addressed. How will the government do this, or what is the problem – these are questions I would not like to put out in public as I am not qualified to provide how-to guidance to the government.
1. Central Cyber Security Audit Bureau (CCAB)
On the lines of the office of the CAG, the CCAB will be a center of excellence and expertise which will undertake Cyber Security audits of sensitive installations. This bureau will also develop standards and frameworks based on international best practices and localized to the needs in the national environment.
The rationale is that
- This task should be taken out of NCIIPC mandate as presently they are the organization which is making the policy and then providing the implementation guidance to the CII entities. This is a conflict of interest situation and well recognised in simple infosec implementations.
- We cannot expect private audit firms to be allowed to access sensitive defence, space, nuclear etc installations.
- At present the CERT empanelled auditors are considered for every audit but this is a risk. Further these designated auditors have zero accountability.
- The recent KKNPP incident is the harbinger of times to come and the nation cannot be in reactive mode
2. Cyber security and ethics learning / education
This subject should be included in the learning of every citizen, from Kindergarten to University level. It will mean the redesign of school curriculum, text books should include cybersecurity considerations and education should inculcate a sense of understanding and knowledge of cyber security, risks and opportunities. The nation must realize that every domain in real life has a cyber ‘factor’ and whether we like it or not the march of technology will slowly and steadily intrude and embed itself into every facet of life.
A National Talent Search should be proposed through the appropriate authority to help identify young geniuses who can be mentored for responsibilities and thus supplement the capacity building goals.
3. Cyber Security Research
Research should be (really) promoted and this should be done more aggressively. Our traditional method of giving grants is still followed and it is a highly complex process. Besides the complexity, private institutions are not eligible which may put a large population of students at a disadvantage of not being able to swim in the mainstream of cyber security innovation. The process for disbursing grants should be made simple and quick. Medium / long term research projects should be supported.
3.1 Central Agency to Monitor Research Projects
A central agency as a single window for clearance and monitoring of research applications and grants. The mandate will include review and reporting of utilization of funds, patents developed, research output, impact / value to the nation, development of cyber security capacity / capability etc.
4. Association of Cyber Security Professionals
An organization on the lines of ICAI should be set up. This will help provide a national code of conduct and bring professionalism as well as provide direction in education and training. The association will also be the vehicle to respond to fake news and disparaging reports which are published by foreign entities from time to time.
This will be a major undertaking for the Association. It may be noted that there is not a single (domestic) certification or education program that is known. At the same time it must be said that presently the nation sends out about $ 100 million every year as fees paid for certifications and maintenance of credentials.
- Organizations like CDAC, NEILIT have developed programs and certifications but there is very low level of industry recognition.
- I had written about certification earlier … https://www.indiawatch.in/cyber-security-certifications-missing-in-makeinindia/
5. Setting up Sectoral CERTs
It was a goal but seems to have been another wishful thought. The news of Sectoral CERTs has got a lot of traction since 2013 but without any apparent tangible progress. The NCSP 2020 should provide firm timelines for the setup and operational readiness of Sectoral CERTs and this must have oversight by CERT-IN as the nodal agency. It is funny to think or different CERTs doing different things and CERT-IN being clueless in the event of a cyber attack.
– I had learned that CERT-In was also not in the loop with some of the entities which had been talking and claiming to have set up the first sectoral CERTs.
8. Regulator Accountability
If it can and makes sense then this should also be a part of the guidance. The other option can be to make this as part of the mandate for CCAB. This will ensure that regulators like RBI, NPCIL, SEBI, IDRBT, NABARD, PCI, TRAI enable effective oversight in their domain. There is a lot of loose work happening under the watch of the regulators and no one is worried about the future implications.
There are many more thoughts, and I shall continue to add to this list.
There are great hopes for a policy which works and is made to work for establishing adequate and effective security and resilience in the national information infrastructure.

We want you to have all the information you need to make an informed decision on where and what you want to study. To help you choose the course that’s right for you, we aim to bring to your attention all the important information you may need. Our What You Need to Know page offers detailed information on key areas including contact hours, assessment, optional modules, and additional costs.
† Some courses may offer optional modules. The availability of optional modules may vary from year to year and will be subject to minimum student numbers being achieved. This means that the availability of specific optional modules cannot be guaranteed. Optional module selection may also be affected by staff availability.
"The course provided me with an excellent understanding of the theory and practice that underpins many of the agencies within the criminal justice system and helped me to develop the skills required to be an academic."Gary Saunders, Law and Criminology graduate
Between their second and final years, students are able to take time out to study abroad or gain experience through a work placement. Those who choose to do so are responsible for covering their own travel, accommodation, and general living costs. Please note that places on the study abroad scheme are limited and allocated competitively.
Both Law and Criminology graduates have career prospects both within and outside of the legal profession. Some pursue paths to become barristers or solicitors, while those specialising in criminology may follow careers in the police and criminal justice networks. Those wishing to embark on careers in corporate law may take further legal qualifications to qualify as solicitors.
Students are encouraged to gain as much experience as possible during the degree. They can develop their practical legal skills in the University’s moot court, and by entering competitions in mooting and negotiation. There is a University pro bono Law Clinic, where students have the opportunity to give legal advice to real people, under supervision.
The best way to find out what it is really like to live and learn at Lincoln is to join us for one of our Open Days. Visiting us in person is important and will help you to get a real feel for what it might be like to study here.Book Your Place
Criminologists use theory to understand the causes of crime and the way in which criminal justice agencies respond to offenders.
The rule of law is the cornerstone of any just and fair society, and to be administered correctly it requires skilled legal professionals.
Today’s global economy requires professionals who have specialist legal expertise of the law governing trade and commercial relationships.
At Lincoln, we strive to make sure our student experience is engaging, supportive, and academically challenging.

Turn the top 7 career breakers for women into career makers
Statistically, more than one-third of Fortune 500 managers are women-and yet we represent barely five percent of the top earners among executives. Usually, we blame it on men-those "old boy" networks that don't typically welcome women into "the club." But, according to leadership coach Rebecca Shambaugh, the real obstacle to women's advancement is not a "glass ceiling." It's the self-imposed career blocks that prevent us from moving up.
These are the 7 "sticky floors"
1. Balancing Your Work and Life
2. Embracing "Good Enough" in Your Work
3. Making the Break
4. Making Your Words Count
5. Forming Your Own Board of Directors
6. Capitalizing on Your Political Savvy
7. Asking for What You Want
Admit it: You've probably been "stuck" in at least one or more of these situations. Maybe you're a perfectionist who has trouble letting go of a task. Maybe you're so loyal to your company that you haven't explored other career options. Maybe you're afraid of speaking up in meetings. Or maybe you're so accommodating to others' needs that you never take care of your own.
This book will show you how to get unstuck from these common traps. You'll discover how other successful women have managed to break out of middle management jobs to grab the top leadership positions. You'll hear hard-won advice from working mothers who also happen to be CEOs, including proven tricks of the trade when it comes to juggling career and family. You'll learn how to conquer your insecurities, transform your thinking, tailor your behavior, and demand the kind of professional recognition you deserve. There's even a section of fill-in charts and checklists at the end of the book to help you stay on track, in control, and on the rise.
Once you've freed yourself from life's sticky floors, there's nowhere to go but up.

The French and Mexican Aerospace Industries Cooperate
French and Mexican Aerospace Industries Agreement
In order to establish stronger ties between the French and Mexican aerospace industries, an agreement of cooperation was recently signed by the Franco-Mexican Chamber of Commerce (CCFM) and the Mexican Federation of the Aerospace Industry (FEMIA).
The goal of the collaboration between the two organizations is to examine the objectives of each nation’s aerospace manufacturing sectors in order to combine efforts to carry out mutually beneficial projects.
The French and Mexican aerospace industries currently are working jointly on projects that are already underway at the Center for Innovation and Design (CEID) in Mexicali, Mexico. Total investment in the Center by the two countries is valued at 22.8 million Mexican Pesos (US $1.19 million). Although Mexico is primarily known for its supply of inexpensive labor, the CEID has been put into place as one of the most advanced centers for innovation and design in North America.
Mexico performs advanced research in the aerospace and other industries
The CEID is home to labs that are equipped with Advanced Manufacturing (software tools, 3D scanners, and rapid prototyping); Robotics and Automation (for industrial processes, with up to three robotic arms); Sustainability and Renewable Energies (for modelling and designing energy storage and distribution systems); Production Systems (for design, modelling and optimization of industrial production systems); and Digital Graphic Design (2D and 3D animation for commercial and entertainment purposes). Because of its expansive capabilities, the CEID is on its way to becoming an innovation hub both in Mexico and internationally, as well. In addition to CEID’s cooperative relationship between the French and Mexican aerospace industries, there are also collaborative projects at the Center with companies such as Honeywell, Gulfstream and United Technologies among others.
The decision to locate the Center for Innovation and Design in Mexicali, Mexico was related to the prominent place that the state occupies in the history of Mexico’s aerospace industry. Baja California’s entry into the aerospace industry began over 40 years ago. Today, export sales from the Baja’s aerospace sector make up approximately 30% of the nation’s total. Between the years 2014 and 2017, the aerospace industry in Baja ranked fourth in its ability to attract US $208 million dollars in foreign direct investment (FDI) to the sector. Also, as of 2017 the aerospace cluster located in Baja California consisted of approximately 110 manufacturing firms that generated more than US $2 billion of export sales and was the source of approximately 35,000 production-related jobs. Companies from France are one of the largest foreign investors in Baja California’s aerospace industry.
Luis Lizcano, the director general of FEMIA, believes that cooperation between the French and Mexican aerospace industries is indispensable for the growth and the development of both. Although the Mexican aerospace industry exported a large volume of aerospace parts in 2018, it is believed that this sector has the potential to grow even further as local firms continue to gain the skills and expertise that are necessary to further integrate themselves into the industry’s global supply chain. The cooperation between the French and Mexican Aerospace industries will bolster an ongoing initiative to develop suppliers to the national industry which began in 2016. Under the National Supplier Program (NSDP), directed by FEMIA, the Mexico City-based, member-funded, non-profit is working to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to qualify as Tier-3 and Tier-4 suppliers to aerospace customers.
Lizcano commented that the cooperative agreement signed by representatives of the French and Mexican aerospace industries will do much to benefit aerospace manufacturers from both countries.
Rodney Olivier, president of the French-Mexico Chamber of Commerce, emphasized the importance of the research component of present and future projects that the two entities are engaged in, as well as the importance of links that exist between each country’s institutions of higher education and federal and state governmental authorities.
In addition to greater local firm integration into the industry’s supply chain, Baja California must also work to provide qualified human resources to the aerospace manufacturers in the state. The participation of academia in the development of the aerospace industry in Baja California is a critical key to ensuring the local industry’s long-term growth. This is the reason why the French and Mexican aerospace industries are combining their resources to operate the Center for Innovation and Design in Tijuana. The Center will focus on strengthening Baja California’s innovation and design in aerospace.

‘It’s a Limbo’: Grad Students, Frustrated by Harvard’s Response to Bullying Complaint, Petition for Reform
Community Groups Promote Vaccine Awareness Among Cambridge Residents of Color
Students Celebrate Upcoming Harvard-Yale Game at CEB Spirit Week
Harvard Epidemiologist Michael Mina Resigns, Appointed Chief Science Officer at eMed
Harvard Likely to Loosen Campus Covid Restrictions in the Spring, Garber Says
ZAGREB, Croatia—Somewhere in Zagreb, there’s a warehouse stocked with monuments to heartache. Abandoned teddy bears—fur thick with dried tears—are propped up alongside old love letters. People from all over the world have mailed tokens of their lost loves here that they might be displayed—some make the cut, and others keep each other company in storage.
This is Zagreb’s Museum of Broken Relationships, founded by a divorced couple (post-divorce). According to a sign, the museum proclaims to offer “a chance to overcome an emotional collapse through creation.” Drinking a glass of Istrian wine in the adjoining café, I probably look like a donated testament to loneliness, myself.
Some displays are wryly comical—a white garter belt from Sarajevo hangs from a peg alongside the caption, “I never put them on. The relationship might have lasted longer if I had.” Even the Wi-Fi password in the adjoining café is called “losing game.” Amy Winehouse would be proud.
Other collections are devastating. A skeleton key from Ljubljana belonged to a woman whose soul mate refused to make love to her; it was only after they broke up that she found out it was because he had AIDS.
But visitors seeking entry into some consensus about love here will be disappointed. Half of the former owners of these locks of hair and shattered mirrors advise that we all call it quits, while the other half urge that we keep our faith in love.
It seems a bit like Santa Claus, really—it’s not essential that anyone see these things. I don’t believe that reading heartbreaking accounts of loss and cruelty will change how I deal with being hurt or infatuated. Love may be a losing game, but we play it because there is a small chance that we may win. And even if we do end up losing, we never get sick of telling the story.
Rather, what’s important about this place is that it exists at all—that there is a place for people to send these discarded bits of self.
A tattoo on the wall of the first gallery quotes Roland Barthes: “Every passion, ultimately, has its spectator...(there is) no amorous oblation without a final theater.” In the spirit of Barthes’ wisdom, curators encourage visitors to write in a guest book at the exit. Like visitors to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem or the Casa di Giulietta in Verona, these pilgrims offer their reflections in a sort of ritual. Just as children delight in swapping battle scar tales, we love to bare our broken hearts to the world, even anonymously.
Call it egotism or sheer exhibitionism, but we rarely share biography to give the gift of catharsis or because its important. More often, it’s storytelling for its own sake.

Jennifer decided to pay a visit to a psychic who had a reputation locally for being able to foretell the future.
In a dark and hazy room, peering into a crystal ball, the mystic delivered some disturbing news for her: “There’s no easy way to say this, so I’ll just be blunt – prepare yourself to be a widow. Your husband will die a violent and horrible death this year.”
Visibly shaken, Jennifer stared at the woman’s lined face, then at the single flickering candle, then down at her hands.
She took a few deep breaths to compose herself.
There was something that she simply had to know.
She met the fortune teller’s gaze, steadied her voice, and asked: “Will I be acquitted?”

Forgotten Sheffield railway line could be revived with steam trains and commuter services
A businessman has reignited plans to revive a little-used railway line in Sheffield, with proposals for heritage steam trains as well as commuter services.
Trains would run between Stocksbridge and Sheffield city centre under the latest proposals to restore passenger services on the old Woodhead railway line.
A new heritage railway station is also planned near the A616 at South Wortley in Barnsley, off a short new spur track, enabling leisure customers to roll back the years and travel in style on old steam locomotives.
Don Valley Railway has been campaigning since 2003 to reintroduce passenger services on the line.
In 2010, a report commissioned by the group suggested a twice-hourly shuttle service between Deepcar, near Stocksbridge, and the old Sheffield Victoria station in the city centre would be the best option, with an estimated journey time of 11 minutes.
The study concluded that this would 'not require a great deal of work' and could be done for £4.3 million, but little progress has been made since then.
That was until a new South Yorkshire (Woodhead) Heritage Railway group was launched by the Stocksbridge-based property investor David Breen, who insists the potential is 'huge' and all that is needed is a 'bit of vision'.
The group has quickly gained more than 120 members since being set up last month and Mr Breen says he is working with Don Valley Railway to get the project back on track.
Mr Breen said: "The existing transport from Stocksbridge into Sheffield city centre is appalling. It takes about an hour, which I don't think is acceptable, especially when you have a perfectly usable railway line sitting there.
"The potential is huge but I don't think anyone's ever really tried to raise the money. All it takes is a bit of vision, and we're determined to make this happen.
"The 2010 study suggested it could be done for £2.6m, not including the 60 per cent optimism bias, which is pocket change in terms of transport spending.
"It makes no sense to even be talking about extending the Supertram to Stocksbridge for £200m, in these days of austerity, when this could be done for so much less."
Mr Breen said he was prepared to put some of his own money into the project and pointed to other railway schemes for which money had been raised by selling shares for as little as £1.
Severn Valley Railway raised more than £2.5m to revamp the heritage railway in Shropshire and Worcestershire, while Great Central Railway generated £8m to restore 18 miles of unbroken track between Leicester and Ruddington, near Nottingham.
The tracks between Sheffield Victoria and Stocksbridge are the last surviving section of the old Woodhead line from Sheffield to Manchester, which closed in 1981, and they are currently used by freight trains serving Liberty Speciality Steels in Stocksbridge.
Under existing proposals, the regular passenger service would initially serve just Stocksbridge and Sheffield Victoria, according to Mr Breen, but it could stop at Oughtibridge in future.
Mr Breen, who said Network Rail had seemed 'very receptive' to his initial enquiries, claimed it was 'about time' South Yorkshire had a 'decent' heritage railway.
"Parts of the Woodhead line are stunning and we need to be selling Sheffield as a beautiful place," he said.
The Star has contacted Don Valley Railway and Network Rail.

World Book Day 2020
Thomas Aveling staff and students took part in different events to celebrate World Book Day last week.
Staff made great effort to dress as their favourite book characters with most departments chosing to work around certain themes. From Tinkerbell to Little Miss Clumsy our students really enjoyed seeing our staff dress up.
Year 9 students were able to watch a ‘Live Lesson’ of Macbeth to celebrate World Book Day. They watched a RSC performance live on stage and a Q&A with the actors.
We also had a World Book Day quiz running for all students to take part in.
Another successful World Book Day!!

Every once in a while, work, weather and pandemic permitting, my family likes to drive out of Bangalore, for a break in the wilds. In this post, I will talk about my family vehicle- a 2014 Renault Duster, which we’ve driven more than 50000kms over the last seven years.
At the time, I was happy with the ‘all I can afford’ base model, which seemed a significant step up from our outgoing Chevy Beat. It did not have much in terms of safety equipment and as we realised over time, was disappointingly basic on interior features. Today, it probably qualifies more as a ‘truck’ than the trailblazing off-roader that started the SUV revolution in India.
Still, I feel old Dusty has endearing characteristics that warrant its legendary status. It’s torquey diesel engine is pretty frugal when it comes to fuel consumption. Seven years on, the fabled ‘magic carpet’ ride quality endures. A decent mile muncher, its a pleasure to drive on the open highway. All round visibility in the vehicle is one of the best in its class. There is no raked window line, subduing occupants into car sickness. As a driver, I’m more confident piloting the Duster through narrow bylanes of Shivaji Nagar (an old neighbourhood in the city) than my wife’s little Honda hatchback. The car is a bit of a ‘carry it all’, like American station wagons of the 70’s- the boot space is surprisingly large! I’ve once transported a single bed in it, with the seats folded down, the boot half closed and a passenger beside me! The Duster is no fancy frilly, loaded to gills, gizmo flaunting Korean ‘softroader’. It’s a joy to drive off tarmac, with its 30 degree approach angle and 205mm ground clearance. It’s built tough and can take punishment. And because it handles dirt with aplomb, it WILL get you from Point A to Point B, wherever they may be.
We have roamed a fair bit of the South in our beloved family ‘truck’. Its always been a trustworthy, accommodating and fun vehicle to explore the outdoors. But with diesel phasing out and electric the way to go, I’ve been thinking of what’s next for good ol’ Dusty. Some days ago, I came across some Youtube videos which certify this car as a popular camper van conversion, especially in Europe, Russia and South America. And that is giving me exciting ideas for the long run!

Online texas hold’em Strategy For Today’s Online Online texas hold’em Gamer Being hostile is a must strategy for any online texas hold’em gamer. Simply how do you accomplish this? Several years back I began having fun 7 card stud online texas hold’em in university. The video game was basically a video game of face-off. No one folded up and the luckiest gamer won. After college graduation from university I stumbled after a book that basically gave the chances of obtaining a particular hand provided and developed a strategy centered entirely on chances. My online texas hold’em outcomes were respectable as lengthy as I complied with these chances. What the chances informed me was that there were some hands that weren’t well worth having fun, so component of my online texas hold’em strategy was to fold those hands. As the years passed I developed what was a good stud video game. https://yerara.com/
Today online texas hold’em and online texas hold’em strategy are various because of 3 incidents. First there’s the innovation of the internet. With the innovation of the internet online gambling has removed among the greatest challenges to having fun online texas hold’em, finding a place to play. You can currently browse the web at any moment and find a video game at the numerous online gambling websites.The second distinction is the intro of Texas Hold em as the main video game. It’s had fun with 2 cards in your hand and 5 community cards to earn the best 5 card hand. The 3rd incident has been the intro of online texas hold’em to tv. Today on numerous networks you can find experts and novices alike participating in online texas hold’em competitions.
Today’s appeal has triggered a change in online texas hold’em strategy. Online online texas hold’em gamers are more hostile and more susceptible to play hands that are outside the common recommended having fun hands. When having fun online today you cannot reject any card mix. Today’s online online texas hold’em gamer plays a strategy of having fun many hands and changing after the 3 card flop. Among the points that many of the new internet gamers are proficient at is folding if the flop isn’t beneficial to them. Since the internet takes individual monitoring from the video game a web gamer can and usually does have a broad range of hands being played.
Therefore when having fun on the web one must be very careful particularly when production a play after the flop. Unlike common strategy of having fun just certain hands commercial one must consider that the online gamer is having fun a wider range of hands.

The Rolls Royce Bentley Concours d’Elegance was held at Ormiston House recently. A variety of cars from the last 90 years were on display. Two of the oldest were built in 1926 and it was clear to see that the owners had put many painstaking hours of hard work and love into their restorations. The weather was fantastic and many of the entrants took advantage of this warm winter day and had beautiful picnics set out. One picnic setting stood out (see the photos). Set up at the back of their car, it looked so pretty and inviting with a table cloth and napkins embroidered with the car registration number! Visitors enjoyed the Devonshire teas and being able to inspect the cars on display in the sunshine. Congratulations to the prize winners!

The Slack Water project is an ongoing meditation on the splendour and vastness of the Pacific Ocean. The comparatively accessible Fisherman’s Bible, Ern Grant’s ‘Guide to Fishes’ (1924), used as a conceptual starting point for Sheperdson’s 77 poems. Snowball initially responded through fragments, cutting them up, taking poetic images, and transforming them into paintings, eventually developing the work into a vast series encompassing drawing, sound and performance. Slack Water is a poetic and introspective exhibition about the act of fishing, abstract poetry, physics, light and water, sky and horizon, surface and depths, and the meaning and dissolution of being.

Our treatments include stress headaches and migraines. tension headaches, migraine headaches or cluster headaches which, on average, impact about 50 million Americans annually.

At St. Louis Medical Center, migraine headache treatment incorporates different non-invasive procedures to provide relief for patients suffering from migraines throughout St. Louis.
St. Louis Chiropractic Care for Headache and Migraine Pain Management and Relief
All-natural pain management techniques are an integral part of our chiropractic care, whether we employ them for beating headaches, migraines, back pain, or other uncomfortable symptoms. Spinal adjustments are one of those techniques that can be effective for a number of conditions, with headache and migraine pain being one of them. Adjustments work to realign the spine using gentle manipulations, resulting in a correction of existing subluxations, rebalancing of the body, pain management and relief. Adjustments of the vertebrae in the neck and upper back can be highly effective for tension headaches, particularly those that stem from the neck area.
Headaches can be caused by many contributing factors, including stress, the environment, illness or disease, poor posture and food allergies or sensitivities. For those suffering headaches or migraines in St. Louis, St. Louis Medical Center works to provide a comprehensive diagnostic assessment, in order to design an effective treatment plan and provide the optimal treatment.
- Tension headaches account for about 75% of headaches. They can last anywhere from minutes to days, and typically start slowly. Described as a dull ache on one, or both sides, of the head; or as if a tight band were around the head or behind the eyes. They’re often caused by stress in the spine and muscles of the back and neck. Tension headaches can be effectively treated using therapies like trigger point injections and chiropractic adjustment.
- About 25 million migraine sufferers live in the United States, and 75% of these are women. Causing intense, throbbing head pain, migraines also include symptoms like nausea, sensitivity to light and noise and visual symptoms like flashing lights. They can be caused by changing blood flow in the brain, but migraines can also have a genetic component. Because identifying dietary triggers is a big part of treating migraines, at St. Louis Medical Center, migraine headache treatment includes nutritional counseling. Chiropractic adjustment, massage therapy, trigger point therapy, and medical procedures when appropriate are also effective ways to combat migraines.
- Brief but excruciating, cluster headaches usually occur on one side of the head behind the eyes. Somewhere around 1 million people in the United States suffer from cluster headaches and most of these sufferers are men. Cluster headaches, like migraines, are related to blood flow in the brain, and they often occur one or more times a day for several days, but then don’t happen again for months or even years. Something unique about this headache is that it usually occurs at night.

Ok many Kadongo-Kamu singers are broke. .even the Lord’s of Kadongo- kamu are sometimes dogged by embarrassing debts. But believe you me some are really doing well; take for instance Walukagga’s and now Grace Nakadama.
Our snoop landed on Grace who is a Kadongo Kamu dancer but has now expanded her wings into other businesses. Just recently Rafiki has been spotting Grace doing decorations on several functions. .She was spotted in weddings and graduation parties. ..and even if Rafiki doesn’t wish to be her advertising agent, one thing for sure is that she does real fine decorations.
It’s against this back ground that Rafiki asserts that it’s just how you spend and invest your hard earned cash that will determine what your future will be. For Grace its kudos !

There were viewing periods for his brothers and sisters of the U.S. Capitol Police force, members of Congress, and of course the family. President Joe Biden took part in a ceremony for Evans, describing him as "defined by his dignity, his decency, his loyalty, and his courage." After the day's events, the long journey back to the northern Berkshires for Evans’ remains began around 6:30 pm.
(Above: Family members of U.S. Capitol Police Officer William Evans, including wife Shannon Terranova, their 9-year-old son Logan and 7-year-old daughter Abigail, watch as his casket is carried by a joint service honor guard down the East Front steps of the Capitol after lying in honor in the Rotunda on April 13, 2021 in Washington, DC. Evans was killed and another wounded after a man rammed through security and crashed into a barrier at the complex, forcing it into lockdown less than three months after the mob insurrection at Congress.)

Issue #2 — Sharpening your edge with data, getting started
An edge is an exploitable statistical advantage that you have over other market participants. How can you use data to sharpen that edge?
📣 Issues will now have podcasts attached, so I’m re-releasing this post with the added podcast.
If you’re new, subscribe for free! 👇 And read the intro post here.
You can have an edge in the way you approach the markets, a method you use, a setup you trade, or even a mindset. Whatever floats your boat, as long as it’s measurable. It also doesn’t have to be unique to you, it can be a common setup and maybe you just exploit it better or differently than the next trader.
The only certain thing is that if you’re trading without an edge, you’re the sucker at the poker table. Trading without knowing your edge is arguably just as bad.
It’s worthwhile investing some time and effort into refining your trading by collecting and exploring your own data.
It can also be a powerful way to build conviction early in your trading journey. Okay, dead horse beat. Let’s explore methods for collecting data.
The example above is a regression analysis I ran on a specific setup of mine—intended to be traded in a specific way, with specific parameters, under specific market conditions. Dots on the chart that stray too far from the trend-line are setups that are outliers, performing out of the norm.
This type of analysis is a great way to introduce rigor to the process of trade selection. The outcomes from taking those setups, win or lose, are then by nature more easily measured; improving your data collection overall. Sounds great! But it’s no small task like anything worthwhile in trading.
At the end of the day, we’re looking for a pattern in your trading or setups that we can reproduce to fine-tune your performance and better define your edge.
a. Define your setup
For the example below, we’ll use a simple bull flag breakout. I would boil down the 1-3 setups that you’re willing to spend a significant amount of time studying and pick one to start.
You need a defined setup to continue.
b. Make the setup reproducible
Your goal now is to convert everything that may be relevant to the outcome of your setup into a data point. Begin by assigning letters to each of the key points in your pattern. 🥳 You now have reference points for your spreadsheet.
X-A references a the start of your pattern, and
F-G references the breakout. Now you can begin collecting data on the setups you trade across different stocks and referencing them in your spreadsheet.
Here’s an example from one of my sheets on what this data may look like.
You can see that I was able to calculate the MFRR, Maximum Favorable Risk to Reward, from this data set. Just one of the many data explorations you can do that can help inform your trading decisions.
Be sure to include external factors as well, like fundamental parameters, or anything that weighs on how you would take the setup during live trading. You want to model the data to be as wide as possible, then work towards narrowing it down.
c. Trade the setup 1,000 times
To extract statistically significant insights from your data, you need a large data set.
It’s only after 1,000 trades, traded in the same way, under the same conditions, that you are able to confidently assign a statistical probability.
Don’t worry, there are shortcuts. You can backtest setups manually—or with an algorithm— and walk trades forward to glean more data from your backtest results. This can be as simple or complicated as you want. Just stick to the goal of collecting good consistent data.
In the past I’ve used the ThinkorSwim on-demand feature, I’ve also manually walked the chart back on TradingView which works really well, and I’ve even gone as far as writing a python script to scrape what I need from stock data feeds.
d. Statistical exploration
Exploring data is a very large topic. I’ll cover a couple of examples to get you started but this area is where you’ll need to do some leg work and find the best analysis that fits your specific setups.
**Please note that I am not a data analyst, I’m simply sharing what works for me. Happy to take suggestions in the comments.
Is there a correlation? The linear regression example I showed above is one method that, once you wrap your head around, is very easy to apply to any data with multiple variables to predict the relationship between different factors and output on a graph.
For example, plotting returns vs position sizing and running a regression may give you a high correlation which can give you insight into how position sizing affects your returns. The points on the chart would closely follow a linear regression, the tighter they follow the higher the correlation.
Using this method you can identify outliers to refine your setup or performance.
Here are some resources to get you started:
Standard Deviation and Mean
How do you know how far your data is straying from the mean? Standard deviations! 🤓
The standard deviation is the average amount of variability in your dataset. It tells you, on average, how far each value lies from the mean. A high standard deviation means that values are generally far from the mean, while a low standard deviation indicates that values are clustered close to the mean.
Let’s look at an example using trade data. The charts below show that returns are much more concentrated to the mean in the short term. As we go out to the monthly view, the mean shifts dramatically and we get a more sporadic return distribution.
As a trader, the insight would be to focus on the outliers and work on tightening up the longer-term return distribution.
Here are some helpful resources:
Introduction to Statistics Using Google Sheets(this is a monstrous, but an extremely helpful document that everyone should save to disk.)
Don’t be overwhelmed by the complexity of this issue. It’s completely expected to be lost when it comes to this subject, trading is hard enough without having to do all of this spreadsheet statistical work. Think of it as something you’ll get better at as you learn.
The next time you trade, consider keeping a detailed log to make it easier on yourself in the future. You’ll regret not collecting data as early as possible.
💬 Happy to explore further in the comments! Also, if this is an interesting topic for everyone, I can try to get a statistician or data analyst on the next podcast episode to set us straight.

The death of my last borzoi, Paris in July 2014 has brought me full circle back to 2002 when I no longer had a dog. Looking back, I see I passed through a journey as my level of interest in matters of the world diminished as that of my interest in dogs, especially borzoi, grew. Like all journeys, there were good days and bad, some laughs and some tragedies. It seemed anything and everything that could happen to one person did, as if I were a character in a Greek tragedy. Only the protagonist lived to tell the tale so perhaps my life story would qualify as a comedy. I do not see it that way, but I will leave that differentiaton to literary critics to judge.
One day, my husband Bob and I had the opportunity to purchase a young male borzoi that, we were told, was a show dog and needed to complete his Champion Dog title. We knew this was a stretch for us, because neither of us had ever shown a dog in conformation. However, it was something I thought I always wanted to do so we said yes. The breeder said it would be “fun and easy”! We purchased “Casanova” and brought him home to live with us. By the end of the week, we realized we needed a new house.
Blyss Kennels began that moment, but especially in September of the year 2003 when we bought our home that would serve as our kennel, too, Blyss House on the first ridge of the Watchung Mountain. That was when we acquired more borzoi: Mikhailya, Paris and Opal, soon followed, and everything began in earnest.
And so it ended, too, abruptly in 2011 really when Bob died suddenly. I had to downsize and although I stayed in the same town, the new Blyss House and its grounds were half the size of what it was. However, my borzoi were old dogs by then, and over the course of the next eighteen months, one by one they passed on. This then is the Fini, to the telling of their story.
My Blogs will not appear after this point in order that I can put them in a book format. I hope to have this prepared by January 2015, an event that will be well publicized. Please consult the Blysskennels.us website for updates. At that time, I plan to begin anew, Blyss Blog Encore. It will be interesting to see how I am doing and whether or not there is a borzoi at home. Shall I or shall I not continue on my course with my beloved breed of dog? There is much work that needs to be done, and many decisions I need to make. I have no doubt, the next permutation of my Blyss Blog will be as compelling as the current one so many people have come to read, and to return and return. I promise, no one will be disappointment. It can be said with certainty, I have found my voice. Thank you for taking the time to listen.

Strictly’s Rose Ayling-Ellis is ‘being lined up by the BBC to star as first ever deaf lead in upcoming drama’
Rose Ayling-Ellis is reportedly being lined up to star as a deaf character in an upcoming drama.
The actress, 27, is set to take the lead in the new role after impressing BBC bosses while keeping her position in EastEnders, if the rumours are believed to be true.
It would mark the first time a hard-of-hearing personality would feature in a series aired by the channel, which would like to see her ‘continue to shatter stereotypes’.
Elated: Rose Ayling-Ellis is reportedly being lined up to star as a deaf character in an upcoming drama, while keeping her position in EastEnders (pictured in November 2021)
An insider told The Sun: ‘Although she is committed for the foreseeable future to EastEnders, that doesn’t mean that she won’t be looking at her longer term prospects.
‘Especially as she’s seen her profile soar as a result of sailing into the final.
‘And the BBC will be keen to ensure that she takes her next step with the corporation, rather than with another broadcaster who could be keen to sign her up.’
Rose took on the role of Frankie Lewis in the soap last May, having previously appeared in various stage productions. Her other TV credits include Summer of Rockets and Casualty.
Groundbreaking: It would mark the first time a hard-of-hearing personality would feature in a series aired by the BBC, which would like to see her ‘continue to shatter stereotypes’
It comes after she revealed that she and Giovanni Pernice, 31, will perform their emotional silent routine that left the nation in tears, in Saturday’s final.
The NTA nominee and the Italian dancer, aim to stun viewers with the ‘dance that changed her life’ as they battle for the glitter ball.
Speaking on It Takes Two with Rylan, Giovanni explained: ‘It was such a big moment, it would be weird for us not to do it again.’
Rose, who is the shows first deaf contestant, performed with Giovanni to a Couple’s Choice to Symphony by Clean Bandit featuring Zara Larsson, a stunning segment of which wasn’t performed to any music.
Talented: Rose took on the role of Frankie Lewis in the soap last May, having previously appeared in various stage productions (pictured in character in 2020)
The dancer added: ‘Obviously the silent moment was so powerful, and because this got so much attention. Rose keeps saying the dance changed her life and lots of people’s lives, so it’s just fair to do it again and I think it’s the right thing to do.’
Rose confirmed its significance as she said: ‘That dance changed my life. So I’m going to give it everything I’ve got.
‘I want to enjoy it because it’s my last Saturday night ever – I just want to thank the public for keeping me in and believing in me.’
They first performed the routine last month, when things took a breathtaking turn during the competition.
An emotional Anton Du Beke, 55, branded the moment ‘the greatest thing he’s ever seen on the show.’
Head judge Shirley Ballas, 61, stood up to praise the moving routine and told the pair: ‘This is a number that will be etched in my heart for a long, long time.’
Motsi Mabuse, 40, showed her gratitude to Rose for implementing the thought-provoking element to the dance on behalf of the deaf community.
‘Thank you. This was such a beautiful moment to include us in your world,’ she said.
They received an almost-perfect score of 39, which left the couple on a sentimental cloud nine.
Breathtaking: It comes after she revealed that she and Giovanni Pernice, 31, will perform their emotional silent routine that left the nation in tears, in Saturday’s final (pictured in November 2021)

If you are a web-based poker game player, one huge answer to enhancing your game would be to identify flaws and connect them. With all the information that’s available nowadays, there is no excuse that you should ‘t be tracking your play and breaking it lower after every session. This can be done through a number of methods, as well as your own poker spreadsheet, using online tracking software, or buying special software employed for analyzing your own personal poker play. We’ll break lower the most typical means of analyzing your web poker play, and allow you to know why it’s advantageous to complete.
The simplest way to trace your web poker play is just with an Stand out spreadsheet. If you choose to do that, make certain to possess posts for all those information, such as the date of the session, the hrs of the session, what poker network you performed at, what stakes you performed at, the number of buy-ins you used, and also the total profit or loss for that session.
Then, you could have another cell which will instantly total your profits/losses to provide you with a running total your money can buy you have madeOrmisplaced to date. The main reason to trace items like the hrs you performed or what poker network you performed at would be to identify trends inside your game for example playing better throughout the day, or playing better on PokerStars versus. Full Tilt.
In addition to tracking your wins and losses, you may also track your own personal play in the tables to recognize holes inside your game. Every internet poker hands you play includes a text good reputation for it known as a texas holdem hands history. These could appear like boring recounts of pointless hands, however in actuality they’re very important with regards to improving like a player.
The reason behind it is because you are able to download all your poker hands histories in the poker network, and feed them into software which will evaluate your play and explain flaws which are losing you cash.
A good example of miracle traffic bot is PokerTracker. You just invest your poker hands histories into one folder, and also the software analyzes both your hands and informs you what you are doing wrong, whether it is playing too aggressive, playing excessive of stakes, etc.

In paleontology, a fern spike is the occurrence of unusually high spore abundance of ferns in the fossil record, usually immediately (in a geological sense) after an extinction event. The spikes are believed to represent a large, temporary increase in the number of ferns relative to other terrestrial plants after the extinction or thinning of the latter. Fern spikes are strongly associated with the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, although they have been found in other points of time and space such as at the Triassic-Jurassic boundary. Outside the fossil record, fern spikes have been observed to occur in response to local extinction events, such as the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption.
Extinction events have historically been caused by massive environmental disturbances, such as meteor strikes. Volcanic eruptions can also wipe out local ecosystems through pyroclastic flows and landslides, leaving the ground bare for new colonization. For a population to recover and thrive after such an event, it must be able to tolerate the conditions of the disturbed environment. Ferns have multiple characteristics which predispose them to grow in those environments.
Plants generally reproduce with spores or seeds, meaning those will be what germinates in a disaster's aftermath. But spores have advantages over seeds in the environmental conditions produced by a disaster. They're generally produced in higher numbers than seeds, and are smaller, aiding wind dispersal. While many wind-dispersed pollens of seed plants are smaller and farther dispersed than spores, pollen cannot germinate into a plant and must land in a receptive flower. Some seed plants also require animals to disperse their seeds, which may not be present after a disaster. These characteristics allow ferns to rapidly colonize an area with their spores.
Fern spores require light to germinate. Following major disturbances that clear or reduce plant life, the ground would receive ample sunlight that may promote spore germination. Some species' spores contain chlorophyll, which hastens germination and may aid rapid colonization of clear ground.
After the eruption of El Chichón, the fern Pityrogramma calomelanos was observed to regenerate from rhizomes buried by ash, even though the plants' leaves were destroyed. The rhizomes tolerated exposure to heat and sulfur from the volcanic matter. Their survival suggests resilience of ferns to the harsh environmental conditions imposed by certain kinds of disasters, and rhizome regeneration may have been a factor in fern recovery after other environmental events.
Fern spikes follow the pattern of ecological succession. In the past and in modern times, ferns have been observed to act as pioneer species. Eventually, their abundance at a site decreases as other plants such as gymnosperms begin to grow.
Fern spikes cannot occur without ferns already existing in the area, so spikes occur primarily in regions where ferns are already a prominent part of the ecosystem. At the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, a fern spike occurred in the New Zealand area, where ferns made up 25% of plant abundance pre-extinction. After the event, fern abundance increased to 90%.
Prehistoric fern spikes can be detected by sampling sediment. Sources include sediment that has been accumulating in a lake since the event of interest and sedimentary rocks such as sandstone. Because sediment accumulates over time and thus shows superposition, layers can be assigned to certain times. Spore concentration in a layer can be compared to the concentration at different times, and concentration of other particles such a pollen grains. A fern spike is characterized by a suddenly higher abundance of fern spores following a disaster, generally accompanied by a decrease in other plant species as indicated by their pollen. Eventually fern abundance will decrease, hence the term "spike" describing the pattern.
Modern fern spikes can simply be directly observed, and allow for observation of factors contributing to the spike that may not be detectable otherwise, such as rhizomes persisting in ash.
Because fern spikes generally coincide with certain disasters such as meteorite strikes and volcanic eruptions, their presence in the fossil record can indicate those events. A fern spike is believed to support a meteorite impact as cause of the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event, similar to the one later causing extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period.
After the Triassic-Jurassic extinction event (201.3 Ma), ferns drastically increased in abundance while seed plants became scarce. The spike has been detected in eastern North America and Europe.
A very widespread fern spike occurred after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event (66 Ma). The spike has been predominantly observed in North America, with just one observance outside the continent in Japan.

[time-nuts] Designing and building an OCXO and GPSDO
lists at philpem.me.uk
Sun Aug 10 17:45:13 EDT 2008
I've been following the mailing list for a few weeks using Pipermail (the
web-based archive) and I figured now was a good time to jump in (so to speak).
I'm working on a GPS-disciplined oscillator, based on a Trimble SVeeSix GPS
receiver, and a homebrew OCXO. I've got a pair of 10MHz 50-degree-C oven
crystals, and have a pretty good idea how to handle the temperature regulation.
What I'm planning to do is mount the crystal on a copper plate with two
power transistors, using heatsink compound between the copper and
transistors/crystal case, and fit a temperature sensor to the top side of the
crystal case. I'm planning to use a copper bracket to hold the sensor onto the
crystal, and in turn mount the crystal to the copper base.
As far as temperature regulation goes, I'm going to use a PIC
microcontroller (one of the 8-pin chips with an A/D converter) to monitor the
temperature of the crystal, and use a PID loop to control the two power
transistors to maintain a temperature of 50C +/- 2 Celsius (the accuracy spec
of the temperature sensor). I also have other higher-accuracy sensors (Dallas
DS18S20 and DS18B20) that I can calibrate with; these are accurate to around
half a degree Celsius with a resolution of 0.5C.
The whole thing is going to be mounted in a metal box lined with 1/2in
thick polystyrene, with all external connections made via Molex KK connectors
and standard hookup wire. If there's any advantage to doing so, I might use
RG174 cable for the oscillator output, but otherwise I'll stick to the KKs and
maybe twist the OUT/GND wires together.
What I'm stuck on is the oscillator itself. The crystals are standard
parallel-resonant parts, with a load capacitance of 30 picofarads. I've got a
few varicap diodes (varactors) that I'm planning to use to allow external
trimming of the frequency, on top of what the ~20pf "coarse" preset will
allow. So on one side of the crystal I'll have a 33pf capacitor, and on the
other a 20pf load capacitor, the varicap and a low-value DC-blocking capacitor
for said varicap.
The standard oscillator circuit for TTL seems to be a pair of 74HC04
inverters and a few passives, or a transistor version that outputs a
sine-wave. Are there any particular types of oscillator that are more suitable
for high-accuracy timing?
What I'd like to do is use this oscillator to calibrate frequency counters
and check the calibration on oscilloscopes and similar. Being able to lock
function generators (a mix of custom DDS sine generators based on Analog
Devices DDS chips and FPGA-based complex-signal DDSes) against the oscillator
would be very useful as well. Should I be going for a 1V sine output and then
convert this to TTL in the generators (which are easy to retrofit with adapter
boards) or output TTL from the reference and leave it at that?
What design parameters should I be optimising for, and how?
Given that a standard crystal is good to roughly 100ppm, and most
commercial OCXOs are specified to be within 1x10^-9 or better, I'm aiming for
around 1ppm to start with. Is even this realistic for a homebrew device?
There seems to be quite a bit of difference between just building a 4MHz
oscillator to run a PIC MCU to building an accurate frequency reference source...
As far as parts are concerned, I'm planning to use either a BB153 or BB148
varicap, a Microchip TC1047AVNBTR temperature sensor, a National Semiconductor
LM4040CIM3-4.1 voltage reference for the PIC's A/D, two BD139 power
transistors and a PIC12F683 microcontroller.

Running a business is exciting. You’ve just set out to achieve your dreams, and you’re on your way to becoming financially independent. However, there’s the other side of the equation you don’t hear about too often — litigation. In this post, we’ll discuss some of the major business legal issues you may face in your journey.
Running a business means taking on certain responsibilities. How you address those responsibilities will dictate whether you’ll have legal issues or not. Some of these are minor and often written off as beginner mistakes, but some legal issues are quite serious. Here’s a top 10 rundown of what you can expect.
10 Business Legal Issues Your Company May Face:
1. Legal Battles Within your Organization
Before we even get to outside factors, let’s talk about the legal issues that can arise within the highest echelons of your organization. If you’re partnered with someone, you are risking all kinds of legal problems if the two of you suddenly establish different views on what it means to run a business.
Solution – Define your relationship with your co-founders through legal documents. Have everything in paper form and make sure it’s all clean.
2. Trademarks and Copyrights
One of the more common problems new businesses have is either failing to protect their intellectual property well enough or stepping all over someone else’s. No matter how small your business is, you need to protect your main assets as soon as possible.
Solution – File patents and copyright your intellectual property as soon as possible.
3. Assault and battery in the Workplace
If your business has active employees on the payroll, there is always a small chance that your business might have to deal with assault and battery in the workplace. Legal experts over at https://www.fighterlaw.com/practice-areas/criminal-defense/assault-and-battery/ argue that this is a risk for companies that do both manufacturing and services. Your employees can be on both ends of the stick, especially in retail and similar industries.
Solution – Recognize risk indicators and react on time
This may sound trivial, but this is probably the most important of the business legal issues you should watch out for. If there’s one thing you need to stay on top of, it’s your taxes. Being late or avoiding/forgetting to pay taxes as a business can put you in hot water before you can say ‘tax evasion’. Legal consequences can be severe and penalties brutal.
Solution – Familiarize yourself with state and federal tax laws and regulations. Additionally, hire someone to help with taxes.
5. Know All Relevant Regulations to Your Industry
Almost every industry out there is regulated in some way, shape, or form. Chances are that yours is too. It’s your job to be fully familiarized with the rules and regulations that govern your industry. Most new businesses that run into legal issues are found to be in breach of said regulations.
Solution – Know your industry’s playbook by heart
6. Know your Contracts
Writing a contract can be simple, or it can be complicated — it all depends on whom you’re dealing with and what it is that you’re selling. Whatever the case may be, your contracts need to be 100% bulletproof. You need to have all of your bases covered and all of your obligations clearly defined.
Solution – Hire a professional to help you write solid contracts
7. Incompatible Business Structure
When you decide to open a business, you need to figure out which form of business structure best suits your needs. The type of structure you choose will dictate your taxes, your obligations, and your liabilities. Don’t leave yourself vulnerable by failing to choose the right form of business structure.
Solution – Do your research on business structures and company management as a whole.
8. Have Insurance
Insurance is a big deal in most industries. Everyone makes mistakes, and it’s not impossible that you will too. Having insurance is often a legal requirement as well. Make sure to have yours sorted out because if you end up needing it and not having it, you’ll be in trouble.
Solution – Find out what kind of insurance you need
9. Follow Employment Laws
Making sure that your employees are all sorted out is imperative. Set up a proper contract for your employees. Also, make sure that your contractors are working off of a clean contract as well. Don’t risk litigation over what is essentially one of the most basic rules in business.
Solution – Learn employment law and follow it to the letter
10. Set Up your Location
If you’re running a retail store of some kind, make sure that you’ve got everything covered. You’ll want to ensure that your location is in compliance with all municipal ordinances as well as any OSHA regulations. You can avoid expensive litigation by making sure that everything is up to snuff.
Solution – Make sure you know your codes, laws, and regulations
Navigating the Learning Curve
I hope you’ve learned a little from these 10 business legal issues that your company may face in its operation. Protecting yourself from all of these forms of litigation is a considerable task. You’ll need to do your homework and figure out the rest on the go. Don’t worry if you make a mistake or two, but try to protect yourself from major risks.

As GM Authority was the first to report, the Chevy Sonic’s days are numbered, with the 2020 model year slated to be the nameplate’s last. Now, GM Authority has learned that the last Chevy Sonic will roll off the line at the GM Lake Orion plant on October 20th, 2020.
As we’ve covered previously, July is the last month for dealers to place orders for the Chevy Sonic. The LT Hatchback, which is the base-level trim for the Sonic’s hatch bodystyle, is currently the fastest-turning model in the Sonic lineup. The Sonic is also offered as a four-door sedan.
That said, Chevy Sonic sales numbers have been in decline since 2014, supporting GM’s decision to follow through with its discontinuation. The Sonic saw just 13,971 deliveries in 2019, the model’s weakest sales performance.
The U.S. is the last remaining market where the Chevy Sonic is sold, with the model already discontinued in international markets, including Australia, South Korea, and Canada. To note, the Sonic was sold as the Barina in Australia, and the Aveo in South Korea.
There is currently no replacement planned. It’s possible GM could bring the Chevrolet Onix over for the U.S. and Canadian markets given its stellar performance South America, but that remains highly unlikely.
Following the Chevy Sonic’s discontinuation, the GM Lake Orion plant will convert its new assembly capacity to produce the forthcoming Chevrolet Bolt EUV, which will be offered as a slightly larger version of the Chevrolet Bolt EV. The Chevrolet Bolt EV is also produced at the Lake Orion plant.
The 2020 Chevrolet Sonic is powered exclusively by the turbocharged 1.4L I4 LUV gas engine, which produces 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque, and drives the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission.
Available trim levels include the base-model LS, the midrange LT, and the range-topping Premier. The sedan body style offers all three trims, while the hatch only offers the LT and Premier trim.
Under the skin, the 2020 Chevy Sonic rides on the GM Gamma platform.

According to Euromonitor International, the shift to home-based eating, health and wellness, and more plant-based, sustainable and locally sourced foods all look to continue to some extent beyond the current crisis. On the other hand, the internationalisation of food and concerns about plastic packaging have been paused.
The global retail value of packaged food reached $2.5 trillion in 2020, up 4.6% from the previous year, Euromonitor reported in a recent webinar. All sectors saw a big surge in sales – except for snacks as on-the-go and impulse sales were curtailed. At the other extreme, staple foods were up 6.1% and made up 37% of all packaged food sales in 2020.
“Meal occasions shifted into the home, they shifted into retail,” said Tom Rees, Industry Manager, Food and Nutrition at Euromonitor International. “People had to eat at home and had to make their food at home and eat it there.”
Some trends were linked with the rapid adjustments people made at the start of the pandemic, such as stockpiling and food shortages, but others have persisted into the medium-term.
Even now, as many out-of-home food businesses like restaurants and cafes are reopening, they often are operating with restrictions. This has had an impact on nearly all food trends, from the flavours consumers are looking for, to the importance of recyclable packaging and how people are shopping for groceries.
Although traditional grocery stores, such as supermarkets and convenience stores, still account for the vast majority of retail food and beverage sales, e-commerce grew by about 25% a year from 2015-2020, according to Euromonitor data, with annual growth already at around 20% pre-pandemic.
“In terms of growth, e-commerce is streets ahead of all the other channels,” Rees said. The pandemic has really accelerated what was already a growing segment.”
Other aspects of consumer behaviour also saw big changes – and many look set to stay.
Life stage nutrition
Fewer new products have been developed with older adults in mind over the past year, but this has not been because of low demand. In fact, many companies have been working at capacity to meet surging demand for their existing product lines, especially as it emerged that this group of consumers was particularly susceptible to Covid-19.
“As consumers increasingly looked at their diets to guard against disease, it is often those consumers who are most keenly aware that what they eat is more important than ever,” said Rees.
According to Euromonitor’s research, the 60-plus age group is most likely to be looking for on-pack statements to limit their consumption of added sugar, salt, high fructose corn syrup, GMOs and artificial ingredients, while also seeking out positive nutrients like fibre.
Among the general population, too, interest in healthy eating and mental wellness has grown.
Which health benefits?
“Foods that are positioned for mental wellness and sleep are beneficiaries,” said Rees.
Immune health positionings have been among the most obvious growth areas, but Euromonitor found that all trends around functional foods and nutrient claims have accelerated, especially for foods intended to improve gut health such as pro- and prebiotics, fibre and fermented foods.
“One factor here is the extra impetus that has been given to reducing obesity rates,” he said. “…Since Covid-19 hit, the fact that obesity increases mortality has been widely acknowledged, and it was in August 2020 that this was quantified with extremely concerning results given obesity rates worldwide.”
Rees was referring to a large scale study from the University of North Carolina, which found obesity increased risk of Covid-related hospitalisation by 113% and increased risk of death from Covid-19 by 48%.
Trends around plant-based eating and alternative proteins also have grown, and meat shortages in some regions helped encourage some traditional meat eaters to try alternatives for the first time.
“The hot topic of animal welfare has seen an acceleration,” he said, citing the initial link between wet markets and the virus crossing to humans from animals.
Reports of the virus being spread among workers at meat processing plants also served to underline this trend, and helped give plant-based dairy and meat alternatives a positive push.
“They have greatly benefited from their associations with health,” Rees said.
When it comes to preserving the environment, consumer behaviour has been pulled in both directions. Euromonitor found consumers have become more concerned about food waste and local food production, but less concerned about plastic packaging.
“Plastic packaging has been re-embraced as producers and consumers have looked to reduce the possibility of infection,” Rees said. “…The shift among industry professionals is most likely to be thought of as a mid-term change, but it’s also clear that over time fewer are seeing it as a short-term change.”
Meanwhile, as local food production has gained attention, some trends around food provenance seem to counter each other.
“Namely, as consumer appetite for international cuisine grows, different countries’ cuisines homogenise to some extent, and that creates the reaction of greater interest in home country food,” Rees said.
Apart from restrictions on international – and even inter-regional – travel, the closure of foodservice also has meant that fewer consumers are able to enjoy cuisines from different countries. This does not mean that the appetite for international foods has ended, but it may take a different form in the future.
“The desire, or maybe even the need, to keep things interesting may drive retail of exotic food and ingredients as the pandemic continues to influence our day-to-day,” said Rees.
Looking further ahead
Asia, where the virus first took hold, may provide clues as to which habits might continue in western countries as they come out from the shadow of the crisis. Euromonitor data suggest that more Asian consumers are shopping in smaller, local stores, preferring to avoid larger supermarkets where there may be greater risk of infection.
“There’s more online shopping and that’s been retained,” Rees said. “We expect that to be retained in markets around the world with online retailers having increased capacity to deal with the impact of the pandemic and more and more people having the experience of shopping online and the convenience of it.”
As for health benefits and nutrient claims, increased awareness of how food and nutrition affects both long- and short-term health clearly is reflected in the kinds of foods people buy.
“There’s also greater purchasing of immunity-boosting food as people look to continue to be healthy in the future,” Rees added.

One of the projects on which I am working is a conference room reservation system of inordinate (and unncessary) complexity. This project involves the integration of three different software packages: (1) An off-the-shelf conference room scheduling package; (2) Microsoft Exchange; and (3) an off-the-shelf tasking package. None of these packages have native interfaces to any of the others and integrating them has been a challenge. (My specific role, aside from being an advisor) has been to integrate package (1) with package (3), something that I have done successfully and one of the few successes ofthe project thus far.
The off-the-shelf conference room scheduling package is developed by a small company, but they have been fairly responsive in acceeding to customizations we have requested. We ask for a customization, they give us a time estimate and a cost, and we then pay them to make the customization. But the product itself, in my opinion, is not very well written. I have read through much fo the code because I needed to integrate it with the tasking product so I have a good sense of this. Early on, I discovered, for instance, that when you book a conference room, the software sets a default meeting time of 2 hours. This is just too long. Most meetings don’t last 2 hours (they just seem like they do). If people aren’t paying attention, they will end up booking a conference room for twice as long as it’s needed and that prevents other people from using an already scarce resource.
I pointed this out months ago, and also pointed out that in a better written application, the default length of a meeting would be a system setting. But in this application it is not. It is hardwired into the product. I pointed out that if I had some time, I could find the problem and fix it, but I didn’t have the time to do it. Instead, we contacted the manufacturer and asked them to make this change. They were happy to do it for us. They told us it would take 1 month, and it would cost $1,700 to evaluate the change (figure out what they needed to do) and another $1,700 to “fix” it the way we wanted it. This was a few months ago. We didn’t expect them to get started right away. The “1 month” would begin once there was an opening on their calendar.
Yesterday, frustrated that this hadn’t been fixed, and by the fact that it seemed to me we were being over-charged, I decided to tackle this problem on my own. Their code is somewhat of a mess, if you ask me. So instead of working on what I was supposed to be working on, I set aside an hour to solve this problem. It ended up taking me 57 minutes. It was like untying a knot, but with some trial and error, I eventually found the code that set the default meeting time. Sure enough, it was hardcoded in at 120 minutes (2 hours). I changed this to 30 minutes, which is what The Powers That Be wanted it set to. I tested it and it worked great!
Here is where my skepticism paid off. For budgeting purposes, my team “bills” our time at $500/day. There are 8 hours in a day or 480 minutes. It took me 57 minutes to solve this problem, and doing the math, you could say that to solve this problem it cost $59.38 of my time. Compare that to the 1 month and $3,400 estimate that the guys who actually made the software quoted us. Essentially what this means is that their cost quote was 57 times what it actually cost me to fix the problem. And their time quote, in terms of business hours, was 168 times the time it took me to fix the problem.
The irony is that no one really questioned this when they gave us the quote. They merely said “okay” and issued the check. Once the check was issued, there is nothing we can do to get the money back. We emailed the company yesterday telling them that we fixed the problem, what we did and how long it took. We argued that in the interested of maintaining a “trusted partnership” they should return the money. But of course, they are under no legal obligation to do so. So who is really at fault here?
I’d argue that the vendor genuinely thought it would take a month to solve the problem. They simply don’t know their own code well enough to give a better estimate. I’d argue further that we should have been more skeptical about the quote to begin with. We should have asked for more detail about why it cost so much or why it would take so long. But we didn’t. So perhaps we got what we deserved in this case. I’d love to think that we would learn from this experience and not repeat a mistake like this in the future, but you know me: I’m skeptical.

How does a guy approach the first night out with a European gal? Is it necessary to dress well and make an impression her? You can find more to it than meets a persons vision, and fellas need to know the right way to go about obtaining a girl out of Europe. A whole lot of guys just simply don’t know the first methods, and end up producing some pretty bad flaws on periods with Eu girls.
Let’s start with what you should have on to a primary date in Europe. Normally, a European young lady will be looking for something different through your average American look. You should definitely clothes nice, but not to the degree you have to spend a small fortune to look decent. If you are planning on going out with her, then a money should be placed aside first of all, just to be on the safe side. Your billfold will thank you correctly in the long run.
Wear a thing semi-formal that she will like. One big thing with European young women is that they often be a bit more reserved with their clothing choices. You don’t want to stand out as being an oddity if you come across as such a conservative person. It’s better to start looking average than to search too strange and stand out because an oddball.
Think about your meal, try to stay with something you like. This will eliminate most of the eating places in the area which specialize in one type of food. Try something out of a in close proximty of restaurant cycle, or even have a European lunch on the bus or metro. The area girls will probably be impressed with how much time you spend learning their lifestyle and most desired dishes.
When you finally carry out hit it off, there are several other things that will help. Do not ditch her at home alone for the night. Most Western girls do not take getting left at your home by themselves very seriously, and you simply could buy a russian wife scare her off totally. Also, boost the comfort and genuine when ever calling her. Pretend that to be a common guy who’s just searching for like, but be as charming as possible.
Hopefully this information has given you some terrific advice upon first appointments. There really is zero “How To” but it is just a start. Don’t be fearful to let your true personality http://www.tenantsafe.com/precisely-what-are-some-of-the-most-crucial-ukrainian-young-lady-traits glow through. Become yourself as well as the European woman will appreciate it.

The stockpiles of copper in China are near record highs and analysts are of the opinion that the country may be about to shock the global copper market by unleashing its stockpiles onto the global market.
In the next few months they expect China to raise its copper exports – which are usually tiny, said four traders of copper, including two from state-owned Chinese smelters. In the first two months of 2016, China’s refined copper exports averaged less than 10,000 tonnes a month while it was around 17,000 a month in 2015.
China is the world’s largest consumer of copper and this is the time when traditionally China has the strongest period of demand for the metal. In this scenario producers and investors in the metal across the world would feel a major jolt if higher exports materialize from China.
This rise in exports of copper might be a further sign of its economy still struggling against headwinds. In the past couple of years, sectors like construction and manufacturing – which buy copper have been hit hard by the headwinds.
At a time when the country is already swimming in copper, demand for refined copper from the nation’s massive smelting sector has shifted due to slowing building construction and electronics manufacturing sectors.
Since copper forms the essential network of its infrastructure, carrying water, conducting electricity and comprising the circuits in its machines, the consumption of the metal by China has been a crucial measure of the country’s economic growth.
“The situation for copper smelters in China is probably the worst it has been in 20 years. But they won’t admit it. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least (if they start exporting),” a source at an Asian copper producer who did not want be named told CNBC.
Since China’s refined copper imports hit a record in 2015, an increase in Chinese exports would mark an abrupt turnaround in global copper trade flows.
Market sentiments have already been buoyed lately by a more than 10 percent rally in prices since mid-January and any exports could deliver a major psychological blow to it.
Questions would also be raised about decisions by the world’s top mining companies to dial up copper production on the assumption of strong long-term demand out of China by the outbound flow of metal.
Based on the fact that China would swallow just about any of the metal they could produce, copper producers around the world have opened new mines and increased production from existing ones in the past 20 years.
This trend was most evident between 2005 and 2015 when the Chinese government pushed more people to move from rural areas into the cities resulting in the massive commercial and residential development boom. There are 16 cities in China now that have more than 5 million residents.
However demand for new housing projects has plummeted as many buildings, particularly in secondary cities remain empty due to the faltering Chinese economy.
The usual seasonal uptick in copper demand in the second quarter is not likely to help China’s smelters due to the slumping consumption and the surging imports of 2015 and earlier this year.
According to estimates from He Xiaohui, an analyst at state-backed research firm Antaike, China may hold more than 1 million tonnes of refined copper stocks currently, including bonded stocks, exchange stocks and metal held by traders and smelters.

02 Jul 5 Things To Watch At Anglesey This Weekend
It’s a double helping of rally action as the MN Circuit Rally Championship reaches its conclusion this weekend at Anglesey, so here’s 5 things to watch out for in Wales…
- Double drama?
A double event – sounds exciting, right? It also throws up all kinds of scenarios…
Double delight: The event will feel like a two-day WRC event around the one venue, but in reality it’s two rallies in one. It means that not only is there a chance to gain a double win, but also two chances for a podium finish and double the opportunity to gain points for those chasing – 120 in store for the overall double win.
Double the chance of disaster: Pessemistic? Probably, but we know in motorsport how luck can deal you a cruel blow, so mechancial sympathy is likely to be on the minds of some down the order when the championships are in the balance. A Saturday issue can run into Sunday, and that could signal a title blow to someone on the wrong end of that misfortune. Makinen/Sainz flashbacks…
Double the effort: It could be a tiring one for those on the limit, so it could be a bruising event in store when the going gets tough. Experience will count, and we’ll see how the cars hold up in this contest.
- Where’s the title going?
It’s in Mark Kelly’s hands, but as the old saying from the late, great Murray Walker goes: “anything can happen in motor racing, and it usually does.”
Kelly is riding a wave of form and confidence at the moment, and will feel these two rallies could be for the taking in that case when observing the entry list compared to previous events. The biggest issue will be other class contingents.
Why? Classes A, B, C and D all have in-form drivers.
Chris Newton in particular will be disappointed in the points totals winning class A will get him, as he is favourite for a superb clean sweep that more than warrants for his ability in a seat-of-the-pants-driven Vauxhall Nova.
Closest non-Fiesta to Kelly is Josh Payton who has been brilliant in class C. Watch out for him, and he is close enough to leapfrog Kelly with one major slip-up or mechanical heartbreak. Similarly, David Henderson missed a round but is now chasing class D honours with some sensational wins, so he could claw back ground on both, as could Chris Ruck with another class B success or two.
The name Morris will be a one you can expect to hear quite often this weekend.
Names familiar to you MNCRC fans and followers will return to the action, most notably Barry Morris who was back at Oulton Park. He is not only the reigning series champion, but the Darrian man’s defining moment was victory here last season in an absolute thriller, thanks to consistency and inspired tyre choices.
James Morris will also make his debut in the series, taking on Sunday’s event with another face very familiar to the championship as co-driver. That will be Ashleigh Morris, who makes her eagerly-awaited comeback to the stages. She will be a threat in her class on Saturday in her Ford Fiesta, before jumping into a Mazda MX-5 alongside James the following day.
- Go West
Mr entertainment himself will have a good chance around a mostly tarmac circuit.
The long straights and technical sections will suit the Porsche 997 GT3 which is of course made for racing around these places, but it remains to be seen just how good the ex-Nigel Mummery rallying edition really is without vital developments, touted to come when possible. West’s skills will be on display spectacularly you can bet, but the noise of his new toy will be distracting enough for any car lover.
5. Weathering the storm
Memories of each visit to Anglesey includes one certainty: unpreditable old mother nature.
She always gets her nose into the event on the coast, and rain is touted to interfere at times on Saturday and even more so the following day. Last year in particular, weather changing right at the death meant a late split strategy for the top two which ebbed and flowed until the final time check.
Expect showers in the second event, but summer weather will help in comparison to the interloping of hail and snow that has arrived at the wrong times in the previous handful of years.
Brollies at the ready – but we’re optimistic of a BBQ at some stage!

The Earl and Countess of Wessex
Basseterre, St. Kitts – Nevis
March 03, 2012 (SKNIS)
With the Royal Visit of the Earl and Countess of Wessex taking place today, the organizing committee has mobilized specific contingencies to complete the final arrangements for the activities that will take place in St. Kitts and Nevis.
One such event is the Renaming of the St. Kitts National Capitol Park and Tree Planting Ceremony. Stanley Franks, Logistical Director told the St. Kitts and Nevis Information Service that a platform was being erected at the site for the Guests of Honour and the Cayon High School Steel Band which has the privilege of playing the National Anthem and selections during the ceremony. Tents will also to be set up in the area.
Mr. Franks explained that the current site was not the initial choice, but had been decided upon due to its grass cover, access to parking and cooling winds. He mentioned that his logistical team was providing accommodation for 500 spectators ranging from students to dignitaries such as ambassadors.
The Logistical Director further noted that Their Royal Highnesses will unveil the plaque bearing the new name of the Royal Basseterre Valley National Park, and plant a commemorative tree in the area. In order to carry out the final touches, he noted that the road Kim Collins Highway will be closed today at 6:00 p.m. He encouraged the general public to comply with the security measures that will be in place during the event.
“Of course we have ushers and so on but they [the general public] must obey the directions that are given to them by the police officers and security personnel who will be on the site,” Mr. Franks emphasized.
The Royal Couple is also scheduled to tour Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, visit the Pediatric Wing of the Joseph N. France General Hospital, the Children’s Home and Government House. A State Dinner will be hosted in their honour and the evening will conclude with Fireworks at Port Zante.

If you aspire for your retriever to become an exceptional hunter or earn a Hunt Test title, it is vitally important that you plan and set some goals.
Here are some of the different leashes, leads and check cords I use when training a retriever and how I use them.
When a dog is not listening, most people think there is a failure in training. They rarely stop to think about why their dog is acting like he/she is.
As an owner of a hunting dog, you need to be on guard against problems as they develop, and you must also become skilled at solving these problems as they arise.
Training can prepare your dog for the basics. It can even give him a glimpse into actual hunting scenarios, but it is the first few hunts that you do with your retriever that will set the tone for your dog’s hunting career.
The Wagon Wheel Lining Drill is a great drill to teach your retriever any time of year. It helps you, as handler, learn to read your dog better. It also helps you work with your dog as a team to improve your dog’s lines for marks and blind retrieves.
Older dogs can be taught to hunt. The question is often less about how old the dog is and more about the experiences of the dog up to his current age.
This drill is great for working on several fundamentals such as communication between your dog and you, obedience with the sit/stay command, steadiness, and marking.
You do not have to wait for your puppy to get older to start working on fetch. You can start working on it almost immediately after you bring him or her home
When dogs are young, they learn quickly and soak up lots of information about the world in which they live. If the owner chooses to not doing anything, the dog does not stop learning, he just learns wrongly.
Teaching your dog to handle using the 3-hand cast drill or baseball can be a fun way to spend time training your dog during the winter.
Getting your Labrador Retriever, or any retriever, to be obedient requires firm consistent obedience work on a regular basis. it also requires you to earn the respect of your retriever. If you do both of these things, you will see a defined change in behavior from your retriever and the reward will be a dog that listens to you and obeys your commands.

We just got back from the best Ski trip ever at Les Acrs 1800, and I just can’t keep my emotions in! I literally was in tears on the last day – leaving the Alps broke my heart!
Secondly, I would like to thank my friends, who have been amazing this week and made the trip the best group trip I’ve ever been to.
Thirdly, I need to thank the weatherman, who granted us some fresh pow on the day we arrived.
This was my first ski trip ever, and I was a little nervous about keeping up with the others, but luckily, I picked it up quite quickly and stacked it down the hill only a couple of times. 🙂 After the full day of skiing, we would head to apres ski – a bar in the middle of the mountain where everyone drinks as much beer and wine as they can, dance on the tables, undress and feel like we’re on top of the world.Once it gets darker, all of us would ski down to the resort. We’d clean ourselves up (sho-bath is one of the best things!), have a nap, cook group meals (hats off to Piers), dress up for the themed night out and start drinking again. I couldn’t help myself and made 100 jelly shots one night. They didn’t last long 🙂We’d go out to the bar which would be filled with dressed-up Brookes people and creepy French guys and keep dancing on the tables, doing press-ups for saying M.I.N.E., throwing golf balls in each other drinks (you have to down your drink if someone throws a golf ball in it) and take blurry selfies. If we were still alive we would move on to the club until we’d run out of cash or black out.The next day we would wake up and repeat all of the above. I felt like a fresher again!
Valley Rally was the next level crazy. We all dressed up as unicorns (A blessing of unicorns – Unique Horns? 🙂 ) and went down the slopes as a team to complete the most ridiculous challenges. We drank champagne (bubbles in a bubble lift), shared 10 litres of wine between all of us as well as some gross fish shots that made everyone chunder… and yes, we all got partially naked on the mountains for a photo. Skiing whilst drunk might be considered dangerous, but it’s so much fun!We also had a crazy Mountain Meal, but I guess when it comes to it, what happened in Alps stays in Alps! 🙂
I can’t wait to get to the mountains and just feel so blessed to have been surrounded by the coolest people and so much snow!
Video is coming up soon, look out. X

Lyon, France — PVC4Cables has hosted its first conference „Sustainability, Innovation, Market: The new horizons of the PVC cables industry“ in Lyon, France, attracting more than 110 delegates from all over Europe. Focus of the conference was the significant progress made by the PVC cables industry in terms of sustainability and innovation, particularly thanks to the development of new formulations; and a factual debate on the impact of the European regulation on the market, notably in relation to CPR (Construction Products Regulation) and RoHS Directive.
“The wide participation of the European PVC cables value chain in this first PVC4Cables Conference is a very positive sign,” balanced Carlo Ciotti, PVC4Cables spokesperson, welcoming delegates. “It demonstrates that the whole industry is committed to supporting this important sector, sharing knowledge and experiences.”
In the opening session, Cristina de Santos of AMI Consulting, provided a comprehensive update on the PVC cables market and trends. Wires and cables represent today the largest application sector for flexible PVC in Europe, absorbing around 7 percent of the PVC resins manufactured and accounting for 46 percent of the cables market in Europe.
CPR, Euroclasses and additional criteria, test methods and CE marking were the themes covered by Roland Dewitt, ACCIPIS, who also set the scene for a stimulating discussion on the different implementation of CPR throughout the European countries. Experts from France, Germany, Italy and Spain underlined how implementation represents a concrete challenge for the European cables market. An update on RoHS and BEMP (Best Environmental Management Practice) was provided by Arjen Sevenster, Senior Manager at ECVM.
Progressive reduction of energy and resources consumption
In terms of sustainability, significant steps forward have been made over the past decades thanks to the European PVC Industry’s Voluntary Commitments, which contributed to the progressive reduction of energy and resources consumption thus decreasing GHG (greenhouse gases) emissions; to the development of a new generation of PVC formulations; and to the development of collection and recycling schemes.
PVC cables represent today one of the main sources of recycled PVC, with more than 127,000 tonnes recycled from cables in 2016 within the VinylPlus framework, out of a total of 568,696 tonnes recycled. Novel technologies such as VinyLoop have been developed to obtain high-quality recycled material. The update on PVC cables recycling provided by Francesco Tarantino, General Manager of VinyLoop, concluded the Conference’s morning sessions.
Innovation is key for longevity
Although considered mature, the PVC cables sector shows a vitality and dynamism capable of addressing major challenges and priorities in terms of sustainability, circular economy and performance. Innovation, in particular, in all its dimensions – polymerisation, additives, compounding, processing, recycling and end-uses – is at the heart of the PVC industry. It is estimated that more than 12,000 vinyl-related patents are issued in the world every year, as highlighted by Daniel Martinz, Technical Marketing and Development Manager, Specialty Vinyls at Inovyn, who presented new formulations and developments in relation to PVC resin performance. He added: “Innovation is in the heart of the vinyls industry. It is key for longevity.”
Professor Enrico Boccaleri, researcher at the Università del Piemonte Orientale (Italy), illustrated how the application of nanotechnologies to the PVC cables sector could bring improvements in thermal resistance, degradation and HCl emissions, while concrete examples of how R&D for new formulations can improve PVC cables’ fire behaviour were presented by Gianluca Sarti, of the PVC Forum Italia’s Compounds for Cables Group.
Further progress in innovation and sustainability
The afternoon sessions on ‘Innovation: solutions & possibilities’ were completed by an overview on the most recent developments in PVC additives, with presentations by Matthias Pfeiffer, European Plasticisers; Alain Cavallero, ESPA (European Stabiliser Producers Association); and Philippe Salémis, pinfa, the Phosphorous, Inorganic and Nitrogen Flame Retardants Association.
“These presentations and discussions demonstrated how R&D can bring major new developments to an application sector, like PVC cables, perceived as mature,” added Zdenek Hruska, PVC4Cables Project Manager. “We hope that an event like this can also facilitate networking and stimulate cooperation among the different components of the PVC cables value chain for further progress in innovation and sustainability”.
ECVM (The European Council of Vinyl Manufacturers – www.pvc.org) is the organisation representing six leading European PVC resin manufacturers, accounting for about 75% of PVC resins production in the EU. PVC4Cables is the ECVM platform dedicated to the PVC cables value chain, bringing together the producers of PVC resins, stabilisers and plasticisers.

Hey all, Perrito here~!
By now I'm sure you're all well aware of the event coming up, but in case you didn't read the name of this update, MG2 will be celebrating its first anniversary on October 4th! It's hard to believe we launched a year ago; so much has happened this year but honestly it all feels like a blur. Before I get into the update, I want to touch on what it's been like working on the game!
Even back in the day, I always wanted to recapture some of the magic that came with experiencing this game for the first time. For many of us, MG2 is the latest in a long list of projects that we've worked on. I was lucky to have met Chika and Anthony back in 2010 during Erwin's first test of what would end up becoming MG2. I teamed up with them to help with their project and from there we spent years trying out different versions. Initially our goal was simple: to create a server utilizing the mystique of the game's oldest versions, but as we learned more about the game and honed our skills, we decided to take it a step further and make something entirely unique. Experimenting led us down a winding path, and while our previous work never saw the light of day, we brought much of what we learned to the table when we eventually teamed up with Erwin again in 2017. Creating a nostalgic experience was always the plan, but nostalgia is subjective and what we considered nostalgic back in 2010 is totally different from what we're nostalgic for now.
Working on MG taught us a lot about managing a server and (hopefully) we've been able to employ some of that knowledge while working on MG2. This project has been a great creative outlet for me, and having something to do while I'm not at work has kept me sane amidst ongoing real-world events. But I still have a lot to learn. Following in the footsteps of the official game hasn't been as straightforward as you might think. Of course there are client limitations, but there are also intricacies and controversial changes that, while faithful to the original game, have widespread effects on the game's balance. And when it comes to adding our own flare or custom content, there are always mixed reactions. The fact of the matter is: you won't always be able to please everyone, but that's okay. At the end of the day, we are making the kind of game we'd like to play ourselves and doing what feels right.
OK, I'll stop myself from reminiscing too much, let's talk about this update! In short, it's an anniversary celebration with new event monsters, quests, and items to collect! And on the technical side, we are fixing a ton of stuff in our backlog. We'll also be running events all week long, so be sure to keep an eye out for event information posted in the Discord and in-game! From the MG2 team and myself, we hope you all enjoy the MG2 Anniversary event. Here's to another great year~!

In the United States, there is a gap between the way that sociologists, psychologists, legal scholars, and advocates define domestic violence and the way that criminal laws define domestic violence. Experts largely agree: domestic violence occurs when a partner exercises continuous power and control over the other. In this view, domestic violence occurs via a pattern of abusive behaviors that unfolds over time, and its manifestations include both physically-violent and emotionally-abusive behaviors. In contrast, criminal statutes throughout the United States continue to conceptualize domestic violence as single acts of physical violence or threats of physical violence. During the past several years, England and Wales, Ireland, and Scotland have passed laws that have attempted to bridge this gap in their own societies. The enactment of these laws abroad—and the fact that legislatures are considering similar laws in other jurisdictions, including the United States—provides a timely opportunity to analyze whether state legislatures should adopt similar laws here. This Comment argues that states should adopt domestic violence laws similar to the ones passed abroad. First, it explains why this gap between the criminal law and other understandings of domestic violence emerged, what it looks like in practice, and what its consequences are for victims throughout their experience with the criminal justice system. Second, it draws attention to the ways in which both the legislature and the criminal justice system are growing increasingly comfortable with defining and prosecuting crimes as courses of conduct. Based on the conduct covered and the harm addressed under these already existing laws, introducing similar laws in the domestic violence context would be a natural next step. Third, it evaluates course-of-conduct laws recently passed in Scotland, Ireland, and England and Wales that have attempted to close this gap. Finally, it recommends that states pass course-of-conduct domestic violence statutes, using Scotland’s law as a model.

In one’s years as a young adult, relationships – both in terms of friendships and romantic liaisons – are often intricately fraught with painfully nuanced angst and heartbreaking regret. Such is certainly the case in well-established Irish author, Sally Rooney’s, latest achingly contemplative novel, “Beautiful World, Where Are You”.
Set in contemporary Ireland, – predominantly Dublin and in an unnamed harsh, yet picturesque, village on the coast of Ireland, beside the Atlantic Ocean – this searingly reflective novel hones in accurately on the often-perplexing, yet stridently hopeful, lives of our four young protagonists – twenty-nine year old best friends Eileen and Alice, thirty-four year old Simon, and a young man called Felix.
Eileen and Alice have been firm friends since meeting as university students in Dublin, in their first year of study (Eileen had been studying English). After university, Alice goes on to become a famously renowned and fabulously wealthy novel writer, while Eileen earns a meagre living working as an editorial assistant at a literary magazine. Alice and Eileen correspond by email for much of the novel, and it is evident from her inner musings that Alice finds the life of a well-known ‘personality’ interiorly stifling; as Alice writes to Eileen, “I can’t believe I have to tolerate these things – having articles written about me, and seeing my photograph on the internet, and reading comments about myself…it makes me miserable, and I don’t want to live this kind of life”. Alice further confides in Eileen, “You’re right that I make too much money and live irresponsibly”. By contrast, Eileen’s abrasive sister Lola admonishes Eileen in a text “do I really want to hear about how immature I am from someone who’s stuck in a shitty job making no money and living in a kip at age 30….”
Alice heads off to New York for a period, but returns home to Ireland after suffering a catastrophically momentous nervous breakdown, which causes her to be admitted dutifully to a psychiatric hospital for a time.
Simon first came into Eileen’s life when he came to help out on her family’s farm, one summer, when Eileen was fifteen and Simon was twenty. Eileen has been captivated and besotted with Simon ever since. Simon now has a demonstrably responsible position “as and adviser to this tiny little left-wing parliamentary group”, and as Alice tells Felix, “He’s religious you know” (Simon attends Mass regularly, on one occasion with Eileen, even though she doesn’t particularly believe in God). Simon and Eileen ‘hook up’ on a multitude of occasions when Eileen is an adult, even when Simon is in other relationships.
Alice and Felix meet each other through the recalcitrantly modern dating app known as ‘Tinder’. Felix works in a warehouse; a job he vehemently dislikes. He is frequently emotionally sadistic towards Alice, who is somewhat fragile and self-effacing. Alice at this time is living in an old rectory in the unnamed village on the Irish coast, the icy Atlantic waters lapping nearby.
Can Eileen ever have what she wants from the emotionally distant, yet caring, Simon? Can Alice have a fulfilling relationship with Felix, in spite of his at-times cruel remarks and callous manner? As Alice tactfully divulges to Eileen, “I…feel certain it’s better to be deeply loved…..than widely liked”
Eileen, Alice, Simon and Felix emerge as significantly troubled individuals (each in their own idiosyncratic ways), yet it is almost impossible not to feel a spellbinding amount of hope for them and their sorrowful predicaments.
Sally Rooney has written a beautiful expose on the human condition; it’s complex vagaries and optimistic outlook. I highly recommend “Beautiful World, Where Are You”. It captivated me from the first page, right through until the final words were read. Sally Rooney has written a highly intelligent and resonant read.

More than 100 community members interested in construction careers attended the “Construction 101” workshop put on by Metro, Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy (LAANE) and other community partners at Inglewood City Hall on Saturday, Jan. 29.
The workshops put eager residents on the career path by covering the basics and putting first things first. Interested participants learn how to find out about construction projects, where to apply, where to get training, how to get union certification and how to acquire the required level of skills.
The workshops also bring together resources for pre-apprenticeship, life skills and professional development.
“It’s a college prep for the construction trade,” said Metro’s Construction Careers outreach coordinator Miriam Scott Long. “I was grateful to hear from two young men attending the workshop who told me they were tired of street life and wanted to have a career.”
The Construction Carreers Policy (CCP) is part of the transportation agency’s Project Labor Agreement (PLA)
The nationwide program aims to encourage construction employment and training opportunities on Metro construction projects to those who reside in economically disadvantaged areas.
The City of Inglewood hosted the confab and the program’s mentors. They are: Metro, LAANE, Trade Union Apprenticeship Coordinators, Black Worker’s Center, 2nd Call, WINTER (Women in Non-Traditional Employment Roles), YouthBuild , Workforce Investment Board representatives, WE Build and Southeast LA Worksource Center.
The Inglewood workshop was fourth in an ongoing series on construction careers preparation. Similar workshops will be offered throughout Los Angeles County in the coming year.

We appear to be in a time when the lower-cost rangefinder is becoming more prevalent and is seeing improvements in their performance. These circumstances allow consumers to pick a unit based on the features they desire without making a big sacrifice in performance or a more significant dent in their bank account. Voice Caddie is no stranger to distance measuring devices, as they have four different laser rangefinder options, three of which range from $399 to $499. As their most basic offering, the L4 is not Voice Caddie’s latest and greatest, but should that keep anyone from considering it? Let’s dive in and see how well the L4 performs in a crowded marketplace.

Cyber-attacks are now common. As a result, governments have developed defensive capabilities. Holland’s General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) is chiefly concerned with domestic political and security issues, but it does maintain a cyber-defense section. In 2014, this section of AIVD found a way to tap the communications and activities of one group of hackers linked to Russian intelligence. The group is nick-named “Cozy Bear.” The access allowed the Dutch a continuing view of “Cozy Bear” activities.
As a NATO member, AIVD would naturally share information with its allies, particularly the United States. American partners would include the National Security Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The cyber-attacks by “Cozy Bear” included ones against the State Department and the White House (begun in 2014), the Pentagon (2015), and the Democratic National Committee (2016).
At some point, AIVD provided the Americans with a document stolen from “Cozy Bear.” The document analyzed a purported e-mail exchange between Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL and then the Chair of the Democratic National Committee) and Leonard Benado, a vice president of the Open Society Institute. The document referred to the then-ongoing FBI investigation, begun in Summer 2015, into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server during her time as Secretary of State.
In the message being analyzed by the Russians, Schultz told Benado that Attorney General Loretta Lynch would make sure that no criminal charges would be filed against Clinton in the server investigation.
“Is it live or is it Memorex?” Is the Russian document real or is it disinformation? The Dutch kept the interception operation going because it provided valuable continuing intelligence. This supposed that the Russians would not become aware of the interception at some point. If they did become aware, then they would have a choice between closing the security breach or using it as a conduit to funnel false information to Western intelligence.
Wasserman Schultz and Benado have denied ever having had the e-mail exchange. Reportedly, American officials didn’t believe that Attorney General Lynch would interfere in the investigation. However, in late June 2016, it was reported that Lynch had met privately with former President Bill Clinton at the Phoenix airport.
FBI Director James Comey reportedly believed that the Russians would release the “document”—whether real or false—if Lynch played any role in clearing Clinton. So, in July 2016, he acted on his own initiative.
News of the document first became public in an April 2017 article in the New York Times. A May 2017 article in the Washington Post elaborated on the story. Now the Justice Department is probing the leaks to the Times and the Post. Was the Dutch operation still producing intelligence at that time or had it been closed down?

(shown above: Gray Day, before and after restoration)
It is the mission of the USD 465 Art Restoration Committee to continuously display the USD 465 historic art collection and use it to expand the district’s art education programs by providing access to high-quality art and artists to both students and the larger community. The collection comprises more than 150 works including oils and lithographs by nationally-recognized artist and art educator Birger Sandzen. Also contained within the collection are works from Prairie Printmakers such as Norma Bassett Hall, William Arthur Hall, and Hershel Logan. More locally-recognized artists who have contributed to the collection include Sue Jean Hill Covacevich and Grace Raymond.
Robert Hartley, a Winfield High School alumnus, presented a compelling story about the district’s art collection at the 2012 Winfield History Day celebration. In this well-researched and historically accurate account, Mr. Hartley recognized Superintendent Evan E. Evans for originating the collection as early as 1926. Superintendent Evans officially opened an art gallery at the Winfield High School in 1936. At the
opening ceremony, Mr. Evans stated, “We have the feeling that maybe 100 years from now young people from a wide section of the Southwest may make pilgrimages to Winfield to see our paintings.” Through this restoration effort, Mr. Evan’s dream will be realized.
Superintendent Evan’s also stated, “We have a theory we can do more for the children than just give them readin’, ‘ritin’, and ‘rithmetic. We would like to give them something the Depression can’t take from them. We are working on the belief that we might be able to give the boys and girls some new doors to open.” The USD 465 Arts Restoration Committee sees many parallels between Mr. Evans’ statement about the Depression and the economic times in Kansas today. Many children who attend the USD 465 public school system are from families of poverty and would never have access to the quality of art provided in this collection.
The committee is seeking funds to defray costs for restoration of all pieces of art within the collection identified as high priority. Conservation will be completed by Van Witt Fine Art Conservation. Conservator Peggy Van Witt abides by the American Institute for the Conservation of Historic Works (AIC) Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Practice. Treatment includes before-and- after photography (digital images) with other photos as necessary. A treatment record and photos will be provided with the completed project. Conservation materials are selected for their performance.
It is also the goal of the committee to provide appropriate climate-controlled storage in a secure environment. Ultimately, the committee hopes to open a gallery at the high school to display the more prominent pieces of art along with Winfield High School student art.
To date the Foundation has raised over $16,000 used towards restoration and care of the collection. Donations to the restoration project are 501(c)3 tax exempt and are deposited into the Evan E. Evans Art Restoration Fund through the USD 465 Foundation.

The founding of Impulse Records in 1960 by Creed Taylor is a fascinating story. My interview with Creed in today's Wall Street Journal here
looks at how he came up with the Impulse name while working as the jazz producer at ABC-Paramount. He also talks about the branding strategy behind Impulse's signature orange and black color scheme, the laminated covers and the gatefoldscovers that swung open to reveal liner notes and photos.
Creed has always been first and foremost a jazz fan with a keen sense of the listener. Fidelity was and is paramount for Creed, as was the look and feel of the LPs he produced. He has always fully grasped the jazz mystique and that to survive the lean years, jazz must find a way to incorporate pop, rock and soul without giving up the qualities that make jazz special.
Now, the first six albums that Creed produced for Impulse have been remastered and are being released on a new four-CD set called First Impulse: The Creed Taylor Collection 50th Anniversary.
It will be available on April 19 here
Looking back on the first six albums, you immediately notice that the mix of styles and jazz quality are quite remarkable. Two of the albums are now classics (John Coltrane's Africa/Brass
and Oliver Nelson's Blues and the Abstract Truth
), one is a fascinating orchestral exploration (Gil Evans' Out of the Cool
), one is a jazz-soul experiment (Ray Charles' Genius + Soul = Jazz
) and two are trombone albums that still hold up pretty well (The Great Kai and J.J.
and The Incredible Kai Winding Trombones
Creed released the first four all at once in February 1961 to make a big bang at the retail level, followed by the issuing of Nelson's and Coltrane's albums. Through these six albums, Creed created a winning formula that he would use again and again for Verve, CTI at A&M and then CTI as a standalone enterprise.
In just a year and a half-61Creed had established one of jazz's most significant labels. By mid 1961, Creed left to become Verve's top producer. It was an offer he couldn't refuse. But while his run at Impulse was relatively short, what he assembled was remarkable. What's more, I'm not sure how many people around today can say that they met with John Coltrane and Eric Dolphy in their office to discuss an album concept.
When I asked Creed recently how he managed to get his bosses at ABC-Paramount to agree to what he wanted to do with Impulse, his answer was matter of fact: I didn't report to anyone. They let me operate independently. It was an era when people who had established themselves were given the ball to run with itand were supported until they succeeded."
Those were the days, indeed.For my 19-part interview series
with Creed, click on his name under JazzWax Interviews" in the right-hand column at JazzWax
. Each of the five Creed Taylor" links contains four or five parts. To access additional parts, simply go to the top of the post on your screen, above the red date. There you'll find a link to the next part.

The Broken Spears: The Aztec Account of the Conquest of Mexico
For hundreds of years, the history of the conquest of Mexico and the defeat of the Aztecs has been told in the words of the Spanish victors. Miguel León-Portilla has long been at the forefront of expanding that history to include the voices of indigenous peoples. In this new and updated edition of his classic The Broken Spears, León-Portilla has included accounts from native Aztec descendants across the centuries. These texts bear witness to the extraordinary vitality of an oral tradition that preserves the viewpoints of the vanquished instead of the victors. León-Portilla's new Postscript reflects upon the critical importance of these unexpected historical accounts.

In order to improve the survival rates and decrease progression of pancreatic advanced
cancer, this study aims to evaluate the first line treatment approved for this disease
(gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel) in combination with two experimental drugs, an inhibitor of
the signaling pathway of Hedgehog and an immunotherapy drug able of blocking the CTLA-4
Pancreatic cancer is one of the leading neoplasms in the world in terms of mortality, with
very low survival rates mainly due to its rapid progression and diagnosis in advanced stages,
which makes its treatment extremely difficult.
Gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel is currently considered the first-line standard treatment for
advanced pancreatic cancer due to this superiority against other treatments.
In order to find an alternative to improve survival of advanced pancreatic cancer, this study
aims to evaluate the efficacy with first-line treatment in combination of two experimental
drugs, a Hedgehog pathway inhibitor (NLM-001) and a CTLA-4 blocker (zalifrelimab) in
previously untreated patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.
If you are confirmed eligible after full screening, you will be required to understand and sign the informed consent if you decide to enroll in the study. Once enrolled you may be asked to make scheduled visits over a period of time.
Every year hundreds of thousands of volunteers step forward to participate in research. Sign up as a volunteer and receive email notifications when clinical trials are posted in the medical category of interest to you.

Shackles and other lifting gear have been used in our industry for many years. And although worker injuries and illnesses have recently decreased — in 1972, there were 10.9 incidents for every 100 workers, in 2011, there were 3.4 for every 100 — that doesn’t mean that regulations are always followed. Because lifting equipment like Crosby forged shackles are so simple, they are often used or chosen incorrectly. That’s why we’ve put together a brief guide on how to correctly use Crosby forged shackles and other Certex lifting products.
What are the main types of lifting shackles?
Essentially, there are three basic types of shackles used for lifting: Bow (also known as anchor), Dee (or chain), and Grab shackles. All three types have a “U”-shaped body and a pin. Their size is determined by the diameter of the body material, rather than the diameter of the pin.
Are certain shackles safer than others?
Alloy steel shackles have a higher safe working load than those made of other kinds of steels. There are many different kinds of Crosby forged shackles, but all meet the standards of U.S. federal specifications. Although the kind of shackle you use for a given job may change, these Crosby shackles should be your first choice.
Are working load limits strict?
Yes, absolutely. You need to use lifting shackles that meet or exceed the working load limit required for your project. This limit is not a suggestion. It needs to be followed precisely to ensure safety.
Do shackles need to be inspected?
All shackles and other lifting equipment needs to be examined by a trained professional every six months. Regardless of whatever legislation technically requires, a 6-month examination is what the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association recommends for safety.
Why is choosing the right shackle so important?
The stakes are high when it comes to your shackle of choice. They can help you complete your project safely and effectively, but if chosen incorrectly, they can be responsible for serious injury and damage. You can’t afford to guess when it comes to this type of equipment. Make sure the shackle you choose is perfectly suited for your load limit and the work being done.
Whether you need comprehensive fall protection or require lifting chains and other equipment, we’re here to serve you so you can get the job done. For more information, get in touch with us today.

The ground may be hard at the moment – but once the weather warms up a bit and you can get your fork into it, it’ll be time to get the lawn shipshape for summer.
Large lawns may have become less prevalent in recent years, given the relatively high amount of upkeep they require and the lack of space so many of us have, but grass does make fantastic foil for planting and is cool and restful to the eye.
So, where do you start?
Here are some basic steps you can take to help your lawn recover from the depths of winter, and hopefully ensure you have a carpet of green velvet to enjoy during the warmer months…
The best way to get rid of the rubbish is to scarify the lawn with a springtime rake to remove moss, thatch (dead grass below the living shoots), and any other debris smothering the grass. This will let in much-needed light and oxygen, promoting better growth.
2. Aerate the lawn
Getting oxygen down into the soil, improving drainage so your lawn doesn’t become waterlogged, and reducing compaction can all be achieved by aerating your lawn. To do this, you can either drive a garden fork into patches of your lawn which have particularly poor drainage, working it backwards and forwards to enlarge the holes, which should be at about 15cm intervals.
Alternatively, you can use spiked shoes which are made especially for lawn drainage, although I’ve always found them awkward and cumbersome so I’d recommend the fork option. Once you’ve made your holes, brush in sharp sand, which will improve drainage and stop the holes from closing up again.
3. Feed the grass
Feed the grass with lawn fertiliser available at most garden centres. This can be done by hand, and follow the instructions to make sure you’ve added the right quantities before watering it in. Some lawn dressings incorporate a slow-release fertiliser but if this isn’t the case, add a little amount of general lawn fertiliser (not containing weed or moss killer) before applying it. Make sure you brush it evenly over the area, or it will become patchy when the fertiliser kicks in. A few weeks later, if your lawn is still patchy, oversow it lightly with a quality lawn seed.
4. Get rid of lumps and bumps
If you’ve got bumps in your lawn that are likely to be scalped by the mower, or unsightly dips which are a nuisance underfoot, rectify the uneven areas by cutting out the turf over the area and adding or taking away soil underneath. Lift enough to cover the area plus an overlap, remove the lump or fill the hollow and then replace the turf.
5. Repair lawn edges
If you have a damaged lawn edge, first cut out a rectangle of turf incorporating the affected grass with a half moon edger, using a straight edge such as a plank of wood as a guide. Then turn the turf around so that the damaged edge is nearer the middle of the lawn. The gap created by the jagged edge, which is now further into the lawn, should be filled with garden soil, sifted to a fine tilth. Then you need to firm and level it to make sure it is flush with the surrounding grass.
Sow grass seed on top, water well, and cover the hole with clear plastic sheeting until the seeds have germinated, to help retain moisture and keep birds at bay. Reseeding worn areas and bare patches should be done towards the end of March or in April if the weather is extremely cold and the ground soggy.
6. Deal with worm casts
There are pros and cons to wormcasts. Worms are to be encouraged because they help aerate the soil underneath the lawn and add organic matter. But wormcasts can be a problem for many, as they form perfect seedbeds for weeds, so they need removing from the lawn with a stiff broom before the first mow.
7. Know when to mow
Mowing should certainly not be done when the grass is wet or frozen – don’t even walk on it in those conditions. Wait until the grass is actively growing, when the weather has warmed up. When the grass is about 8cm high, you can cut it for the first time. But make sure the mower blades are sharp and set them high – and don’t leave your clippings on the lawn in spring.

Review Edraw Flowchart Software
"Thank you! Your flowchart software is outstanding! 1. Edraw uses the familiar Microsoft Office user interface, and it looks great! 2. Fast and small! 3. Has the right features! 4. Affordable price. I hope you keep the promotion price. Home users and students can't afford software like Visio."
"I can't recommend this flowchart software enough. Edraw has unbelievable functionality for the price. Makes stunning flowcharts like nobody's business. It's such useful software in such a small package, and goes to show how bloated today's software truly is. Best of all, it can export the flowchart to many kinds of formats. I made my flowchart and exported it as a jpg file, so I could put it on my website. Real easy!"
"Great value for money! If flow diagrams are the only thing you plan to use it for, Visio is a little overkill. If you want to use it for other things it's better value for money. Visio is too expensive for my taste, and now I've found Edraw there is no need for other products." I just wanted to write Edraw is great value for money! (It is very easy to use too!) Thanks."

Schoolchildren marched on Parliament yesterday demanding MPs take immediate action
It comes after research from The Climate Coalition and Greener UK revealed 69 per cent of Britons want to see urgent political action to combat climate change. Among those who attended was Damian Green, MP for Ashford, who was met by local primary schoolchildren, Rufus and Zoe King, and Fred Kyrke-Smith, from Wye in Kent. They questioned him on littering and plastic pollution.
Philip Hammond’s speech disrupted by climate change protesters
"Maybe we could have loads of people litter picking," Fred, seven, suggested. Rufus, a nine-year-old pupil at Lady Joanna Thornhill Primary School, Wye, told the Daily Express what the action meant to him: "It means that when we are older we will probably have better lives."
Also at the event was Deborah Sanders from Beaconsfiel Bucks.
The grandmother, who heads her local branch of the Women's Institute, said: "I now have four grandchildren and the most important thing for me is that they have a sustainable life and a climate that they can enjoy."
Meanwhile, Green Party MP Caroline Lucas said the event would put pressure on the Government to deliver on their "warm words" after declaring a climate emergency earlier this year.
She said: "You don't dial 999 for a fire engine and ask it to come in 30 years time. You want it now."
With her was BBC wildlife presenter Steve Backshall, 46, who felt the Government's target of reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2050 was "too late".
He said: "The idea of a carbon neutral stance across the UK is fantastic but 2050 is too late. "It needs to be much quicker than that."
Elsewhere, International Development secretary Rory Stewart spoke to school children in Camden, north London.
He said: "Quite literally hundreds of thousands of species could be extinct, we're losing our ice shelf at 10 times the predicted rate. "We're going to end up in a world that is a much, much more unpleasant and difficult world in 50 years' time if we don't deal with these things."

Camden library closure plan a sham say users
Library users are outraged at Camden’s plans to transfer the responsibility for running and financing Belsize, Chalk Farm and Heath libraries to residents.
Under plans which go before the council cabinet on Wednesday, councillors are expected to vote to reduce opening hours at all of the borough’s 13 libraries by 10 per cent and give the go-ahead for three to be transferred to community groups from 2013, as part of the council’s �2million cost-cutting drive to its libraries budget.
Supporters of the libraries fear the move could signal the end for all three, which cost more than �500,000 a year to run.
Two other proposals involve closing seven libraries or reducing opening hours at all 13 by 35 per cent, and transferring Chalk Farm and Belsize to the community. Residents who took part in the consultation have dismissed it as a sham and accused the council of ignoring their wishes to keep all libraries open.
Chalk Farm library representative Philippa Jackson, 38, said: “We are horrified by the proposals, particularly as we were proactive in seeking alternative models. We seem to have shot ourselves in the foot by engaging with them.
“We will do whatever we can to keep it a public service library and councillors who vote to close them will be punished at the next election.”
Alan Templeton, Camden Public Libraries User Group chairman, said: “Without using any four letter words, this report is a mish-mash without any real thought behind it, apart from saving the senior officers’ posts.
- 1 The man who wants to put trains among the trees from Muswell Hill to Highgate
- 2 Highgate pub gets the go-ahead to reopen
- 3 Cops swoop on cannabis farm rumoured to be 'largest ever' busted in Haringey
- 4 Ricky Gervais behind new benches for people grieving to 'talk and reflect'
- 5 Could Adama Traore be on his way to Tottenham?
- 6 Landlord scales back 40% rent rise - but it is too late for some tenants
- 7 Watchdog: Ex-council leader's conduct over housing development was 'flawed'
- 8 Covid patient numbers levelling out after Christmas rise, data suggests
- 9 Discover north London’s ‘lost’ synagogue
- 10 'Superior York stone’ to be laid in Hornsey Town Hall Square
“We have a different attitude to the library service. It’s a service for the community which supports literacy in a city which is very deficient in that.”
Tony Hillier, chairman of the Heath and Hampstead Society questioned why the council had left so little time between the report’s publication last Friday, and Wednesday’s meeting.
But culture boss Tulip Siddiq said that the decision to target the three libraries was based on users expressing an interest in volunteering, the proximity of libraries in the area and an equality impact assessment.
Campaigners urge anyone worried about libraries to attend a scrutiny committee meeting on Monday at the Town Hall at 6.30pm.

“I have been sober a little over two years and Bikram Yoga has become a big part of my recovery program. My practice has been such an important healthy outlet for emotional healing and managing the day-to-day life stressors that come up. I don't second guess myself as much as I did before I started practicing. I don't know exactly how it works, but I know it’s the yoga, and I think it has something to do with looking myself in the eye in those mirrors. I have built a mind-body connection and trust myself more.
“I always sleep better after I've come to yoga. I've been able to maintain a healthy weight throughout the year by coming regularly. I have gained confidence in myself and am able to make decisions more quickly. It always surprises me what comes up in the hot room. As one of my teachers says "Let it out. Better out than in!"
“I took my first Bikram yoga class in Seattle in 2012 and practiced on and off for about 9 months. But it wasn't until after I got sober that I was able to realize how much the yoga could do for me. Class is so much harder with a hangover! After I got sober in 2014 it took me a long time to starting exercising again in any fashion. When I came back in January I knew it was what I had been missing and has since become a huge part of my life. I keep coming back because my yoga class is my 90 minutes to be with myself, pushing my edge in the most loving way possible. I am increasingly confident and enjoy working on myself from the inside out. I was so happy when I got to the point where I could get through a whole class without taking a break! That took a while, and I still take breaks when I need to. It’s fun to see how much I progress when I come regularly.
“I completed a 60 day challenge in the spring and it was the best gift I gave myself this year. It kick-started me into a healthier way of thinking and living. I was really paying attention to what my body needed and treated myself well. I was thinking about hydration and nutrition in a way that I hadn’t been before. It was fun to participate in the studio wide challenge because it felt like we were one big team, cheering each other on throughout the month. The experience made me realize that I am so much stronger than I ever gave myself credit for. I definitely plan to participate in the challenge in January and get the new year started off right! The benefits of a 30 day challenge last far longer than the 30 days and I highly recommend everyone to try it. You will probably realize more benefit than you can even imagine - I know I did!”
This photo was taken last summer, when I had been practicing Bikram's Beginning Yoga Class for 11 years.
If you're not familiar with Bikram yoga, I realize that might sound a little odd... Isn't 11 years a long time to do "beginner" yoga? Surely I could have moved on by now. And I'm an instructor, I own a studio! Surely I should be more "advanced," or at least "intermediate" in my own practice.
But. 11 years in, Bikram yoga continues to be so delightfully challenging both physically and mentally- that no other activity compares. I have heard the dialog (the scripted instructions memorized and delivered by certified Bikram yoga instructors) many thousands of times, yet I continue to discover jewels in it, instructions I have heard for years which I have only just become ready to understand and apply.
How wonderful to repeat the same series of postures thousands of times and still have so much to learn from and about them!
Part of the beauty of the Bikram yoga class is that I often practice beside students who have never done yoga before. We are given the same verbal instructions, we do the same postures, we both try our best, we both are tested and pushed to our limits in body and mind, we both soak in our sweat and feel our hearts pounding. We both receive maximum healing benefits by simply trying, one step at a time the right way.
I have heard Bikram yoga both criticized and praised as a "one size fits all" approach to yoga. And so it is. (Guess which camp I'm in!) Because: that brand new student next to me? Our struggles may take different shapes, but the prescription is the same. This group class was thoughtfully designed for the benefits of hatha yoga asana to reach as many people as possible, all at once. No matter your trouble- knee, back, stiff, weak, sick, stressed out (as Bikram says, "junk body or screw-loose mind") Bikram's beginning yoga class has something (and probably more than one thing!) you need.
It doesn't matter how flexible or fit you are or how long you have been practicing this or other types of yoga. Follow the instructions to the best of your ability with precision, intensity and frequency, and your life will have no choice but to improve.
One reason your life will improve is: the lessons you teach yourself in the hot room keep you curious and humble to your own potential. In class you actively grow your self, but at the same time your self is growing too (maturing, aging, birthing, ailing, healing, grieving, celebrating and everything else) which means that no two of your classes will be the same. While you repeat the postures and breathing exercises year after year, remain a "beginner" at heart and you will never get bored.
So that's why I've been practicing Bikram's Beginning Yoga Class for over 11 years, and I will most likely do so for the rest of my life. What a gift that I am only just beginning! If you have just begun or are waiting to begin (or have been beginning longer than me!) I look forward to beginning alongside you soon.
HHY Founder, Yoga Business Coach, yoga-doer and life-lover, Kay Afif!

We were approached by Great Places Housing Group following complaints of water ingress by residents into various apartments to the upper parts at this Grade 11 listed residential building in Manchester.
We were asked to carry out inspections to the parapet gutters, roof slopes and dormer window constructions as well as the faience & parapet at the uppermost level on the front elevation of the building.
Additionally, we were instructed to carry out an inspection to the remainder of the building in order to determine it’s condition and produce a costed programme for any remedial works that were identified.
The building was once a Co-Operative market hall but had been converted into residential accommodation roughly 15 years prior to us inspecting the property.
Upon inspection, we found defective rainwater goods and roof finishes. Along with this, we found a great deal of defective masonry due to a lack of maintenance and there were many areas of vegetation that had taken root within open joints, particularly at high levels. This had caused weathering of mortar and damage to the decorative faience finish of the building.
We ensured the building was repaired, resolving the issues of water ingress, by working with skilled experienced contractors using traditional techniques together with traditional lime based mortar, which we were able to specify to closely match the existing.
IGL worked with a specialist manufacturer to replace areas of heavily damaged faience with new, matching in style and colour almost exactly. The extensive repairs that were carried out to the exterior of the building not only resolved the issues of water ingress but also restored the exterior façade of the building, helping to preserve this historic asset.
This was all accomplished within the clients budget and timescale.

The exhibition Embracing Modernity: Venezuelan Geometric Abstractionpresented a historical overview of the origins of the abstract movement in Venezuela, focusing on its early development dating from the late 1940’s to the 1970’s. Curated by Francine Birbragher-Rozencwaig and Maria Carlota Perez, it included works by artists who were responsible for the development of the movement at the national and international level, particularly in Paris where many of them resided at the time. The show, which was presented at the Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum in Miami (October, 2010-January, 2011), featured works by Carlos González Bogen, Omar Carreño, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Narciso Debourg, Gertrude Goldschmidt (Gego), Elsa Gramcko, Gert Leufert, Mateo Manaure, Alfredo Maraver, Nedo, Ruben Nuñez, Alejandro Otero, Mercedes Pardo, Jesús Rafael Soto, and Victor Valera. In addition to lending a significant number of works, Art&Art was the main sponsor of the exhibition. Additional funding was provided by Funding Arts Network.

Dear Loma and CT Families:
Thoughts from Tuesday Night
Don’t forget to vote! Mail in your ballot or go to your polling place on June 5th.
Safe Fun in the Sun!
We love the sun! Warm and beautiful days are upon us. Behind that beauty is a cause of our most common cancer – skin cancer. The easiest way to reduce future risk is to prevent sunburns and limit exposure to UV rays in childhood. Skin cancer rates have increased dramatically over time. Half of the UV ray exposure we receive in a lifetime comes during childhood.
Yes, we want our kids to go outside and play. Let’s support their sun safety!
Protecting kids from over exposure is not too difficult. Hang out in the shade. Longer clothing provides better protection. Encourage wearing protective hats and sunglasses. Apply sunscreen over and over again! For more information on skin cancers and protecting your kids, please see the information from the CDC.
As in all things with parenting, our actions today make a difference down the road. Looking for more fun in the sun? See below.
Los Gatos Lions Club “Date Night” Event – June 2, 2018
Loma Prieta Volunteer Firefighters BBQ – June 3, 2018
Loma Prieta Community Foundation Movie Night – June 8, 2018
Santa Clara County Fair – August 2 through 5, 2018

The Nuts and Bolts Season
Graduation/Promotion Attire – It is the time of year when families are choosing promotion/graduation attire for their 5th and 8th grade students. We always get many questions about the “dress code” for these events. The bottom line is that these are elementary and middle school events and school dress code is enforced. No strapless dresses or spaghetti straps without a wrap, shawl or shrug that must remain on. Shoes must be appropriate for the procession and climbing stairs. Dress or skirt length must be comfortable to be worn on an elevated stage. Students generally do dress up a little. Young men’s shirts should be tucked in or look neat. Ties are not required. No low rider pants. Our events are above a casual level but nowhere near formal. We want students to be able to participate in the movement associated with the events and not risk embarrassment. A good rule of thumb is that if you can’t wear it to school, don’t wear it to graduation. If you have questions, please feel free to ask.
Loma 5th Grade Promotion begins promptly at 8:45 a.m. The slide show plays before the ceremony. Parking will be at a premium. Please plan to come early.
CT 8th Grade Graduation begins promptly at 4:00 p.m. The slide show plays before the ceremony, so come early since parking will be at a premium. To access the gym, use the door closest to the Loma flagpole. There are blue signs on the construction fencing to help guide you. An alternate entrance is available near the grass on the back side of the gym. To reach this entrance, you would go through the CT courtyard, around the construction fencing and follow the pathway to the double doors that open onto the grass. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we are glad that construction is underway. Thanks for your patience!
CT Lost & Found
I hate to say it but the CT lost & found is outta control! Please, please come look through the huge amount of items your students have left behind.
All items will be displayed on the chainlink fencing by CT starting on Monday June 4, after June 7th they will be donated.
The lost & found is currently located by the library.
6th grade Parents
Please read the important attached letter about required immunizations for 7th grade!
Please note all incoming 7th graders must have a Tdap booster (ADACEL). This is different from a Dtap. Please look at current immunization records and if your student has received the Tdap booster after their 10th birthday please send the CT office a copy ASAP or check with the office to see if we already have your copy. If we do not have a copy of the current Tdap your student will not be allowed to attend school in the fall.
7th grade Parents
Please sign your 7th grade student up early for the Washington DC trip! If you sign up before June 6th not only will you have a longer window to pay for the trip and do fund raising, but you will save money. After June 6th the cost of the trip will go up. Right now all you need to do is get online and pay the $49 deposit. Attached you will find a copy of the flyer with info for early sign up. Please feel free to contact me in the CT office or at Open House for a DC packet or questions you may have about the trip.
8th Grade Parents
Your 8th grade student received a permission slip for the SC Beach Boardwalk trip on June 6th. Please note that students will not return to CT until 5pm and must be picked up at school at 5pm. If you will be picking up your student from the Boardwalk please let the CT office know 3 days in advance. Permission slips are due to the CT office by Monday, June 4, 2018

The race is on to contain the spread of Omicron, as New York City again braces to be one of the country's outbreak epicenters one week before Christmas.
"The data that we monitor so closely is showing an alarming trend," Dave Chokshi, commissioner for the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, said. "Omicron is here in New York City, and it is spreading quickly."
The CDC announced Omicron makes up about 3% of total COVID-19 cases in the U.S., but that number is around 13% in New York.
Health officials are alarmed, with test positivity doubling in three days. That's something one of the mayor's senior public health advisers says they have never seen before.
"Obviously, we knew Omicron was here and we knew it was going to be more of a presence in our city," Mayor Bill de Blasio said. "It's now quite clear that it is, and we need to be very aggressive."
De Blasio announced a new series of measures, including increasing testing capacity to prevent lines that can be seen stretching around city blocks.
The city will also distribute 1 million KN95 masks for free, along with half a million at-home tests.
Leaders also plan to beef up business inspections to make sure they're following vaccine mandates.
But it's an all-too-familiar sight.
Because of breakthrough cases in casts and crews, multiple Broadway shows have called off performances; sporting events have been postponed or canceled; and some are rethinking holiday plans.
For now, plans for a New Year's Eve celebration in Times Square are on, but de Blasio says officials will watch the data very carefully.
"I do expect cases will continue to increase in the coming days, and this is based on the trajectories that we're following from other countries like South Africa, the United Kingdom, and Denmark, as well as other places," Chokshi said.
